Hi, I love your recommendations! Is there any chance you have more recs that relate to Keith being adopted/in foster care? I read “To Be Vulnerable” and it was one of my favorite fics ever, so anything with similarities would make my day! Thanks so much!
Well you’ve come to the right place! (Alex summoned me out of mod semi-retirement for this)
Here’s To Be Vulnerable, for any readers who are curious:
To Be Vulnerable - amaira @amairawrites
ongoing, 13/19 chapters, 87k. (Mature). Contains: rape/non-con, underage, dubious consent, sexual abuse, teacher-student abuse. (Note: the warnings pertain to interactions between Keith and a minor/original character)
Keith never had any plans for a future beyond shuffling between abandoned buildings on the streets, selling blowjobs to buy food. That was all he thought his life would ever amount to – until he saw a commercial for the Galaxy Garrison, promising a better future.
Iverson always wanted a family, but his fiancee had walked out on him years ago, fed up with him prioritizing his job over his relationship. That was the end of that, until the local cops dropped a skittish foster kid in his lap, offering him an unconventional second chance at family.
Shiro could barely hold it together under the pressure to be the perfect student, to be everything to everyone. The last thing he needed was to have even more responsibilities dumped on him, least of all having to tutor a young aspiring pilot so much more promising than himself.
As for more fics with a similar foster/adoption family theme, there is this ask we got a little while ago about angsty foster kid Keith fics.
You can also try these:
Fragile: Handle With Care - EchoResonance @echoresonance
16k. (Teen) Contains: Past Abuse, Child Abuse
Shiro’s heard all sorts of stories about soulmates. He’s seen the stories in action. He’s seen his father knock his hip against the corner of the counter and watched the bruise bloom on his mother’s. He watched his friend get a tattoo and seen another friend with the fading remnants of that very same mark. It was a magical moment for some people. Shiro and his soulmate were not those people.
An AU in which the marks that one person receives, the other also bears temporarily. And although Shiro has had few accidents and has never been struck a day in his life, it is very rare that his skin isn’t a painting of reds, blues, and purples.
Homecoming - marmorasblade @fakegenjimain
23k. (Mature). Contains: child abuse, underage smoking.
It’s halfway through Keith’s freshman year. He’s in a new foster home, one of many over the last ten years, and he has no delusions that this will last longer than the others. He tries to keep himself distant; from his aunt, who came out of the woodwork to take him in, from his classmates, who keep insisting he join them for things like lunch and movie nights, and from the handsome older jock that just keeps popping up around every turn he takes. But of course, these people try to embed themselves in his life anyway. Keith’s trying to come to terms with the fact that these people care for him. He’s trying to come to terms with the realization that he may finally have a home.
Enjoy!
