Hello! New-ish Sheith fan here. I’ve been having so much fun exploring all the content! Thank you guys so much for running this amazing blog! I was wondering, what are the “must read” Sheith fics that are considered a staple for the majority of the fandom?

Hi there! Welcome to the Sheith fandom! We’re happy you’re having a lot of fun, there’s so much amazing Sheith content out there. While we don’t really know if there are those “fandom staple” kind of fics you might find for other ships, we’re always happy to recommend some of our favorite popular ones to get you started:

Where the Light Doesn’t Reach - rosegardenlake

230k. (Mature) Contains: Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Blood and Gore

Football Captain Takashi Shirogane always looked like he had a charmed life. A full ride scholarship to a top university, worshipping fans wherever he turned, never wanting for a single thing. Keith’s never needed to have anything to do with him. Keith has his own problems, his own friends, his art. They’re from two different worlds.But one day, Shiro doesn’t come home. One day, there’s blood all over the streets but no body. And it’s Keith, and only Keith, who can see Shiro, shirt splattered with blood, panicking through a hallway of people who ignore and pass right through him.It’s only Keith who can see his ghost. And it’s only Keith who can help him find who did it.

The most terrifying things in the desert were the men. Of this, Keith had no doubt.

Until Keith found him.

Shiro knows better than to expect love in an arranged marriage. This is all for the sake of universal peace, after all, and solidifying a Terran-Galran alliance. At the very least, Shiro can hope to make a friend out of this.

Becoming friends would be much easier, though, if he and his husband could actually communicate. With a language barrier and a mountain of cultural differences between them, getting to know Keith proves to be a challenge.

Luckily, Shiro’s always worked well with challenges.

The Uncertain Hour - Sol1056

269k. (Mature) Background ships: Allura/Lance

In the wake of Keith leaving the paladins, Kolivan is left with sole responsibility for the boy, until an outsider intervenes. When the empire ramps up its attacks, shifting alliances and growing factions put the entire rebellion at risk.

Keith trudged from the room, his steps heavier, but still barely audible. He was easily half the weight of any full-grown Galra, and only a little over half the height. He had a speed and agility that rivaled Kolivan’s best, but nowhere near the reserves. Kolivan had learned to respect that ferocity, but it did make missions exhausting. Of all the orders he’d given, had Keith ever followed one to the letter?

They think it will be funny to leave him with a Galra in heat.

It whimpers. It's a sound of pure pain, one Shiro's heard a hundred times now in the arena. The sound of something wounded and helpless; the sound of something that knows it.

"Are you hurt?" Shiro asks in the bare silence of the cell, and moves a few steps closer.

The creature on the floor twitches violently at his voice. It's not dressed like the other prisoners. It's hard to tell in the poor lighting but the back of its skin-tight suit is glowing in circuits, the same purple he's come to associate with the Galra. "I won't hurt you," he says, softer.

It doesn't make a sound but its back arches, head lifting from the floor, dragging black hair along the floor. It's dripping wet with blood or sweat. Shiro realizes the small sound he's barely been registering is breath—it's panting. It rolls, just enough to eye Shiro through its dark bangs.

He. It's a boy, and he's beautiful.

The GSA by allinadayswork (1/3 |11,478 | Teen And Up)

Read All About It by starlightment (6/10 |51,105 | Mature)

Keith is Altea High’s star athlete. And Lance, a wily reporter for the school newspaper, is crushing hard. The only problem? They’ve never actually met before. So when Lance decides to broadcast his long-hidden feelings in an explicitly romantic exposé, he ends up accidentally sparking a school-wide epidemic. Suddenly the entire student body is in on the drama, but are words truly enough to win over the school’s enigmatic heartthrob? [High school AU. Klance.]

but then your eyes had to wander by a_alene (1/1 |1,508 | Teen And Up)

No, Keith is the problem here. Keith, and the rasp of his voice, and his stupidly attractive haircut, and the way his eyes look like galaxies when the light hits them just right. Keith, who comes back after six months, taler and grizzled and more distant than ever. Keith is more unattainable than Allura ever was. If Allura is the moon, then Keith is the sun, burning bright billions of miles away.

Lance realizes that he’s in love with Keith. He deals with it the best that he can.

You know what’s really disturbing to me? The culture that seems to have sprung up around fanfiction. Writers spend weeks and months working on a story – I think my record is six months on A Place For Us To Dream. And so many times readers expect to just be given a chapter even if they don’t give anything to the writer in return.

I’m going to date myself a bit here, but I’ve been reading/writing fanfiction for ten years. And when I first started it was a wonderful community. There was an unspoken rule – if you read/enjoyed it, you review it. You take thirty seconds to tell an author who probably spent anywhere from three days to a week writing that chapter you just enjoyed to tell them you enjoyed it. Even if it was as simple as “Great chapter, can’t wait to see what happens next!”

Writers spend so much time on stories, and then they post it because they have this thing that they’ve invested so many hours into and they want to share it with the world. They know how they feel about the story, and they want to know how other people feel, what other people think.

And when you read it and don’t review, you know what message you’re sending that author? That they’re not worth your time, or you didn’t enjoy their story. So why should they keep posting it? Yeah they might continue working on it in their own time, for their own enjoyment, but you might never see another chapter again because you couldn’t be bothered to take thirty seconds out of your day to tell them how you feel.

I’ve written stories in eight different fandoms, ranging from very small to very big (I’ll openly admit I wrote Twilight fanfiction once. Once. It was an Alice/Jasper story and haters can hate all they want but I’m still proud of it). I took a break for a few years because I fell out of fandoms during college, and when I came back apparently it’d become the norm to just greedily consume writing without telling writers how you feel. And that is one of the saddest things in the world to me because fanfiction is where I really started getting serious about writing. It’s how I’ve honed by skills and become the writer I am today. And that was largely in part because of all the support I got when I was an itty-bitty thirteen-year-old writing crappy W.I.T.C.H. fanfiction.

Everyone keeps saying “reviews don’t matter, you should just write for yourself.” Well, you’re wrong. Reviews make or break fanfiction. Reviews tell writers whether it’s worth their time to continue posting that story online or whether they should keep it on their hard drives and never share it with the world.

Kill the attitude that reviews don’t matter. Start telling writers you like their stories. And if you don’t, if you all just continue to be invisible readers? Don’t be surprised when that writer disappears.

Maybe while drunk Shiro, Curtis and Adam make it a competition to see who can get Lance to blush the most. So shiro just starts spilling his guts about how he liked lance during voltron which gets lance to blush badly so Adam trys to one up shiro by talking about how lance was an amazing student was and things like that to which he gets a bigger reaction and Curtis not wanting to be left out just says out of the blue "I like your ding dong" Lance didn't stop giggling until they all got home
