I Want This To Be On My Dash Forever Just So I Can Admire It. XD

I want this to be on my dash forever just so I can admire it. XD

Klance YouTube au but instead of them being beauty vloggers or ghost hunters or the typical roles we usually see, they’re in totally different genres.

Keith is one of those rage quit gamers who never shows his face and only posts sporadically but he had a huge following because all his videos get turned into memes somehow. Like he was doing a playthrough of Skyrim and was sneaking through a dungeon when a cave bear attacked out of nowhere and killed him. The unholy screeched rant about why bears are the most ridiculous part of the entire game spurred posts and links to his videos across the internet.

“Like what the fuck are they even eating way down there!? Fucking SPIDERS?!?!”

Basically, people find his content to be entertaining because of his attitude, and Keith is very animated when he games. No one knows what he looks like but they all agree that when he’s not yelling, cursing, or screaming, he has a very nice voice.

Now over to Lance.

Lance is your run of the mill Jenna Marbles YouTuber. He does everything and anything because “routine is a curse,” which becomes the slogan for most of his merch. He does a lot of challenges and makes up a lot of the trends that end up being big. He donates most of his proceeds to charities if he does longer videos, like “Living Like Link” where he taught sign language to his followers to raise awareness and donate to charities and organizations that specialize in speech therapy and sign teaching (his little cousin doesn’t speak much so everyone in his family supports her by using sign language to communicate). That earned him a lot of attention and a wide range of followers. But he also does stupid things like painting his whole body pink before going to buy groceries of the same colour.

Routine is a curse, as he says.

Anyway, the two don’t know each other at all. But Keith happened across one of Lance’s videos (the sign language one because of the title) and thought it was really cool that someone would put so much effort into a video series and make learning actually fun. So he begins to snoop around on Lance’s channel and is absolutely baffled by the variety of videos he has posted.

He subscribes and watches new updates weekly.

It’s during one of Lance’s newer videos where he’s dressing up as a raccoon to try and assimilate with the family of critters that are apparently living in his basement that Keith hears something familiar.

Lance is in the middle of drawing dark circles around his eyes ranting about the raccoons when he says “like what the fuck are they even eating way down there!? Fucking spiders?” and Keith almost has a heart attack.

Because that’s his line! He said that! Which means this Lance guy must have watched one of his videos!

So he comments “raccoons are almost as bad as bears” and waits.

And an hour later he gets a reply.

“Oh my god!!!!!!! REDRANTS watches my videos!!!”

Which blows up. The followers make it the most popular comment, and it becomes another new meme, and Keith is overwhelmed.

But that doesn’t stop him. In his next video, he’s building something on Minecraft in survival mode chopping trees as one does when he mumbles “well you know what they say, routine is a curse.”

Which goes over about as well as you would think.

Lance comments on the video: “I can’t believe you stole my line for Minecraft content!”, which gives Keith the proof he needed that the cute boy he’d been subscribed to for the past month is actually watching his stuff.

So the two become friends, commenting back and forth and stealing each other’s quotes until they do an accidental collab video where Lance tries playing Overwatch. He’s queued up and ready to go when a familiar gamertag pops up on the opposite team. And holy shit. He’s playing against REDRANTS!

Keith realizes it’s Lance right away given that his username is the same as his YouTube channel and spends the entire game throwing the match to find Lance (who is playing as Mercy because the wings are bomb af) to emote in front of him. Lance’s team is livid because he’s ignoring them and not healing - “I just like flying around don’t tell me what to do!” -  and over on Keith’s channel he’s cursing because he keeps getting killed every time he crosses enemy lines to find Lance - “I’m fucking DANCING let me LIVE you absolute DICKBRAINS!”. Eventually, he pops off and murders the whole team (as Lucio ha get rekt) and continuously waves at Lance’s character as they both sit on the payload.

The videos are immensely popular, and the fact that the two hadn’t meant to collab is even better.

Lance dies laughing while watching Keith’s side of things, and Keith is impressed that Lance actually managed to stay alive for as long as he did given that he wasn’t doing anything. Plus Lance has really witty commentary. It has him chuckling as he watches.

By request of their fans, the two collab for real. They play Overwatch again but this time they’re on the same team. It’s the first time they’ve had a real conversation and you can obviously tell both boys are flustered upon hearing the other speak.

It’s sort of awkward but it gets better once the game starts. Keith keeps making Lance laugh because he screams with every death, and Lance encourages his teammates with doting lines and sayings that Keith finds too funny to handle.

It’s when Lance revives Keith with a sing-song “I got you boo” that Keith just lets it slip.

“Oh my God I love you!”

He doesn’t think much of it because it’s something everyone says once resurrected by Mercy, but Lance laughs nervously and runs off.

Keith realizes later when he’s editing the footage and sends Lance an all caps apology saying he hadn’t meant to weird him out or anything. Lance answers that he’s embarrassed to admit he got flustered after hearing that, and the two sort of start talking more and end up exchanging numbers and Snapchat and when Lance finally gets to see what Keith looks like he almost passes out because hot damn son. Hot. Motha. Heckin. Damn.

They only really collab on Keith’s channel because Keith lives in a different city and he’s never shown any of his followers his face, but eventually, Lance persuade him to do a challenge with him. 

The challenge is “who can find who first?” and takes place in the airport Keith flies into when he first comes to visit. Lance vlogs the whole thing, but it’s Keith who wins, scaring Lance by the Starbucks and earning a startled yelp that has security coming over to check up on things. The two laugh it off and it’s comfortable and not awkward and just really nice. They’re like old friends who’ve known each other for years. And it’s Keith’s official face reveal, complete with kitty cat sleeping mask and tired eyes, baggy hoodie and luggage with Spider-Man on it. 

Lance thinks he might be slightly in love. Plus Keith is an inch or so taller, which Lance definietly approves of, though he makes a few comments about it for the sake of his vlog. They make several videos togehter, and the community loves them. They compliment each other nicely - what with Lance’s calming wit and Keith’s explosions of frustration when he can’t figure out the makeup he’s supposed to be putting on Lance’s face for a challenge. It’s oddly hilarious and the response they get is amazing. 

And yeah I guess they start a collab channel and eventually start dating and I’ll end this here cuz I could go on for years about them as YouTubers.
