#VLD pidge would probably find a place to sit away from people to work and listen peacefully

[chibi-pix]

Okay, y’all! It’s time for another night of Chibi watches with Voltron Force! Let’s do this! 

Episode 14 has me appreciating VF, much like VLD, with showing different aliens. And not just saying “yes, this is a different planet, but they all look like humans from Earth.” There are so many visuals! I mean, we see them in other episodes, but it just keep appreciating these details more and more.  Ah, Larmina. How do you get her attention? Music. Especially a music festival.  And then they mentioned Stereolactic. I recognized that name thanks to this art drawn by lion-time that I saw! And now I understand what Stereolactic is.  I adore the cadets geeking out over Pidge knowing Sterolactic. That’s just cute! And Pidge explaining that Stereolactic doesn’t exist, only a DJ, it made me think of this thing with Hatsune Miku. Who apparently was just a fictional character but had concerts or something? Yeah, that.  And seeing Stereolactic, something about the appearance made me think of Daft Punk. I dig it.  It’s also adorable that Pidge loves his work as Voltron over being the DJ. That’s sweet. He loves his work and team! When the robeast was up, I was thinking they either needed Vince to help neutralize the haggarium or Daniel and Larmina to take the robeast down from the inside. A bit of both, they needed all three. And Vince giving Voltron the green center. Perfection!

Okay, let’s move on to episode and 15 and see the return of the Hunkyard vehicles. All repaired, shiny, new and... making their own baby Voltron? Didn’t see that coming. But it worked well! Awesome! That Arusian anchovy is still alive I think. No thank you. It’s sweet that the cadets got to take a road trip to Earth and Larmina is getting to enjoy her time. Poor kid didn’t get a fun childhood of friends and goofing off. And that kid. Dudley? DID NOT TRUST HIM FROM THE GETGO! His determination to be Voltron’s biggest fan was kind of off putting. Though it was amusing to see his collection, the perfect visual of DotU. And him going after Vince and Daniel in his Voltron replica. At least Larmina returned. After having fun and social time with other kids.  Also, on Arus. Finding the black lion after he takes off. Lance: “I haven’t been this bored since Pidge’s last tutorial.”  Pidge: “Hey!” Oh my gods, guys. They feel like an old married couple! Their teasing, comments, and whatnots reminds me of my folks! You guys were right! VF Plance! Okay, I’ll go get my watering can. Gotta water the garden and these plance. Also, good on the kids for remembering to bring back pizza. Even better? For the whole team! Even Keith has a slice as he stand on Black’s head. 

I have been waiting for episode 16. Someone in a discord server mentioned it to me because of my love of Pidge and Chip being twins and working with such in VLD for AU purposes. I actually tried watching it before, probably last year, but didn’t get far for whatever reasons. But here I am, getting to enjoy this episode. I cry a bit, though, because the twineractions are minimal.  Pidge: “I think they’re trying to tell us something.” Baltons: “Braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaainsssssssssss” Did no one make a quip about the zombies starving with part of the team? I don’t think I heard any remarks about that. It would have been hilarious if Pidge just looked to Lance and said “Looks like you’re safe.” That would have been the best! Poor Vince, listing movie tropes, fears, bad things. He’s having a crisis. Poor baby.  And Pidge’s voltcom with the smart stars is pretty damn cool. I like it! And the Balton pinned to the wall and asking “Brains?” I snorted so hard at that, it hurt. I was just grateful I wasn’t drinking anything at that moment.  I had hoped Chip would be okay and end up joining up with Vince and Pidge to help them out. That would have been so sweet and awesome. It would have been nice to see the twineraction and them being badass ninjas. But, alas.  It’s a good thing Voltron accepts pilots a bit more easily so Larmina can pilot Green. And her excitement and work with kung fu voltron to fight Lotor. Get wrecked, Lotor! Poor Chip is confused about what happened. Though his excitement in seeing Hunk was cute! Also, ancient Baltons having a hand in the original Voltron program? Intriguing! 

Ah! What a lovely night to watch Voltron! And I enjoyed it! Still put out on the lack of twineractions. It would have been so nice to see more. I want twin content.

Anyway! That bit it for the night!  Until next time!

vld youtuber AU (klance, part 5)

(I apologize if the tense changes all over the place, I’m writing this as a sort of stream-of-consciousness thing because I care more about getting the idea out than writing something that’s grammatically perfect. I’ll probably clean this up and make it an actual fic once it’s all done. Thanks for reading!! :D)

part one | part two | part three | part four

There is a definite shift in Keith’s demeanor after Lance’s last visit.

They play Overwatch a few times a week, and while Keith goes into stern-leader-battle-mode when the game is going, between matches he’s loose, candid. He laughs at Lance’s jokes and makes casual conversation about his job, the garage, tells funny stories about Kosmo. Lance tells Keith stories about the customers he has at the cafe. It’s nice to hear a softness in Keith’s voice that Lance hadn’t heard before.

Keith shows up in nearly all of Lance’s Overwatch videos, even if his mic isn’t recorded. They sort of fall into a rhythm, meeting online every Tuesday and Thursday night to search for servers.

“Y’know,” Keith says one night while they’re in queue. “I wouldn’t have figured you for a sniper type.”

“Eh?” Lance is in his Widowmaker menu at that moment, flipping between two skins to see which one he likes more. “What d’you mean?”

“I don’t mean it in a bad way,” Keith clarifies, and it sounds like he’s smiling. “You just seem like more of a Mercy or a support or something. You’re really…” he pauses. “Generous. Always helping people. Then you get in here and you turn into a cold blooded assassin.”

Lance laughs. “I’ve always played a sniper, though. Gotta have balance somewhere, yeah?”

“Yeah.”

.

They text a lot. It’s all small stuff, like pet photos or memes (which Keith doesn’t understand 90% of the time and Lance finds that kind of adorable). But it’s nice. Occasionally they’ll both have an early shift, and Lance will text Keith photos of the ancient espresso grinder, captioned “this thing wants me dead” surrounded with skull emojis. Keith’s sense of humor, Lance learns, is dry as cracker juice. He gets a photo of a broken rubber floor mat with the question, “what sound does a floor mat make when it splits right before a fitness class?” Before Lance can answer, he gets another photo of the same mat, this time with Keith’s middle finger pointing soundly at it. “That sound,” says the caption. Lance laughs so hard that his boss yells at him for being on his phone during a shift.

August comes to an end, and Pidge prepares for her final term. Lance helps by assisting in an apartment clean out, getting rid of literal clutter to ease Pidge’s impending mental clutter. Lance tries not to think about how this might be their last few months in this apartment together. He’s really enjoyed living with Pidge - he wasn’t exaggerating when he said she was like a sister. Pidge is an extension of his family, ever since they met at space camp all those years ago. She’d been a tiny, fluffy, indomitable ball of pure snark and Lance loved her immediately. Since then, they’d stuck together, seeing each other through some of the hardest times. Lance had cheered his lungs out when Pidge was handed her high school diploma, and in a few months, he’d see her walk across another stage in a cap and gown to receive her bachelor’s degree in Robotic Engineering.

It made him a little misty-eyed to think about it.

Pidge is playing Stardew Valley one afternoon (how the hell did she manage to make such an insanely profitable farm before the end of year one?) when she casually brings up one of Lance’s favorite fall events.

“You gonna go to the Founder’s Fair this year?”

Lance doesn’t even look up from his phone. “Uh, is the Pope catholic?”

“Good.” On the screen, Pidge’s character gives a bouquet to Penny. Dating everyone but marrying no one: the Pidge method. “Hunk is coming in for it.”

“Sweet.”

The Harborville Founder’s Fair was the highlight of every autumn. Right as the summer was fading away and the air was showing a hint of a chill, Oceanside Park would explode into three days of carnival rides, food trucks, fireworks, and everything in between. It was also the best time of year to surf - they didn’t get much in the way of waves here, but there would always be just enough in late September to rent a board. Lance had put in his time off request a month ago, buttering up his boss with the ‘this might be my last September in Harborville’ sob story. Which was sort of true, even if he wasn’t quite ready to face that reality yet.

Lance felt like he was getting closer to Keith. He wasn’t entirely sure if that was the case, but if nothing else, Keith seemed to finally be relaxing around him. There were one or two times when Lance could almost swear Keith was flirting, but he quickly shoved the thought aside. Nope, don’t go there. That’s assuming things. Assuming is dangerous.

.

The fair is in a week and to make up for missing work on what will be one of the busiest weekends of the year, Lance is working at the cafe nearly every day. He has more steam burns on his hands and wrists from making lattes than ever, and he thinks if he hears the word “pumpkin spice” one more time he might lose it. He hasn’t played Overwatch all week, too tired from extra shifts to do anything other than zone out to Netflix when he gets home.

He’s got two hours left in his Thursday morning shift, then he’s free for the whole weekend. He can practically taste the funnel cakes now - and the Rancho Alegre food truck, the only decent source of Cuban food in the entire state, will be there. God, he’s going to eat until he can’t move.

The morning rush has come and gone and the afternoon crowd isn’t here yet, so Lance is cleaning up the mess of coffee grounds and cinnamon around his work station when the bell on the cafe door sounds. He doesn’t look up as his coworker/supervisor Romelle greets whoever walks through, too preoccupied with wondering how the hell almond milk ended up underneath the grinder.

“Hello,” says the customer and Lance totally knows that voice. He stops wiping sour milk and looks up.

It’s Shiro. And right behind him is Allura and - oh shit. It’s Keith. He’s here, he’s here in the cafe and Lance had no idea he was coming and he probably looks like shit, overworked with bags under his eyes and his face breaking out from stress and he didn’t even shampoo his hair this morning because he was running late --

But then Keith smiles at him and wow. His hair is down and he’s wearing this black and red leather jacket and it should be illegal to look that good. Especially when Lance is such a mess.

“Hi,” Lance says, hating how his voice cracks. “What are you guys doing in town?”

Shiro is pulling out his wallet with his left hand. “We came for the fair. It was always one of my favorite things about going to school here.”

“Oh,” Lance squeaks.

They’re here for the fair. Lance might get to spend time at the fair with Keith. He forces himself to focus on the present before a dozen fantasies of ferris wheel rides and sharing cotton candy can take over his brain.

They all order drinks and Lance claims them before Romelle can even finish ringing them up. Shiro gets a hazelnut americano, Allura orders a tuxedo mocha, and Keith shyly asks for a latte. Lance can tell he doesn’t go to coffee shops often and makes the drinks carefully. He can’t embellish Shiro’s americano, but he uses chocolate sauce and extra foam to draw a bow tie in Allura’s mug. For Keith’s latte, he sends a prayer to the coffee gods to grant him latte art prowess. It works, and Lance is rounding out rings of coffee and foam, pulling through to form a perfect heart.

He slides the mug across the counter to Keith, who’s eyebrow shoot into his hair. He breaths a little “wow” and blushes, taking the mug and smiling. He’s wearing fingerless leather gloves. Lance’s heart flip-flops in his chest.

The three of them find a table near the window and sit, chatting and drinking their coffee. They’re too far away for Lance to hear what they’re saying, and even if he could, he’s on the clock, and the lunchtime regulars are starting to trickle in.

Would it be gauche to text his evening shift coworker and bribe him to come in early so Lance can leave?

Lance thinks Romelle can tell he’s pouting by the way she sides up to him.

“Hey,” she whispers. “Is that the guy?”

He follows her gaze and sees that it lands firmly on the table where Keith is sitting with Shiro and Allura. Keith looks up at Lance, and smiles a little before turning back to his brother.

“Yeah,” Lance whispers back, feeling his face heat up. “The one with the long hair.”

Romelle lets out a low whistle. “Quite the catch,” she says, waggling her eyebrows. “What about the girl they’re with?”

“Allura?” Lance thinks. “I don’t know her very well, but she’s nice.”

“She single?”

Lance rolls his eyes and starts on the next drink. “No idea, you should ask her.”

It’s slower today and Lance is thankful for it. With Keith in the room, he can’t focus on anything - it’s a miracle he doesn’t catastrophically screw up the drinks he’s making. There’s a break in customers and Romelle comes over to Lance where he loading a portafilter with espresso and waves her phone.

“I’ll make you a deal,” she says, and he does not like that voice. That’s her Supervisor Voice. “I’ll call Ryan in an hour early if you get me Cute Girl’s number.”

Lance puts the tamp down. “Seriously?”

“Seriously.”

He looks over at the table where Keith is sitting. They’ve all finished their drinks and will probably be leaving soon.

“Romelle,” Lance states. “You are an evil super villain and I love you. Consider that number yours.”

Fifteen minutes later, Ryan Kinkade is walking in and he doesn’t look particularly thrilled about it. Lance takes off his apron and motions at the jar of cash by the register.

“Ryan, you’re a lifesaver and my tips are yours. Thank you!” Lance clocks out before anyone can argue and walks over to where Keith and Co are sitting. He’s very much aware of how he probably reeks of coffee and looks like garbage but does his best to smile anyway.

“My shift is over, did you guys have any plans?”

Shiro smiles and stands. “I think we were going to head to our Air B&B and check in, actually. We could use a breather after that drive. We can meet up for dinner later, if you want.”

Inwardly, Lance lets out a sigh of relief because this means he’ll have time to take a shower and make himself presentable. “That sounds good! Any place you want to go?”

Shiro shrugs. “Is Vinnie’s still open?”

Lance lights up. “Oh yeah, still as good as ever, too! Want to meet there at, uh - “ He checks his phone, it’s barely 3pm. “Around five? We should beat most of the dinner rush that way.”

They all nod and the plans are made. They walk outside together and Lance watches the three of them get into a very nice Chrysler sedan - maybe Allura’s, given how she goes for the driver’s seat. Once they’re gone, Lance heads for his car and books it home. He immediately washes and exfoliates his face, then applies an anti-inflammatory mask and works at cleaning up the apartment. It was already fairly clean since Hunk will be crashing on the pull-out sofa bed for the weekend, and he has no idea of Keith will ever even see this place, but Lance doesn’t want to take any risks.

He shoots Pidge a text to tell her about their plans in case she wants to join. Hunk isn’t due until tomorrow morning.

Apartment clean(er) and his face mask dry and itchy, Lance hops in the shower and scrubs himself sore. Keith is here and will be spending the weekend here and Lance is equal parts ecstatic and terrified. He meticulously goes through his whole grooming routine, moisturizes, swabs, trims his eyebrows, even files his nails. He checks his reflection once he’s done and thankfully his face is less red, the stress acne barely noticeable.

There’s still about 45 minutes until he needs to be at Vinnie’s so Lance takes his time picking out clothes. He settles for a low cut tank top that shows off his collarbones and a beige button down over it with the sleeves rolled up, finishing it off with a pendant necklace and grey skinny jeans. He examines himself in the mirror and frowns a little. Does it look too much like date clothes?

He doesn’t have time to change because then his phone pings and it’s Shiro, saying they’re heading to Vinnie’s a little early. Lance all but throws himself out the door.

.

Vinnie’s is starting to get crowded, Lance can already see the line forming when he parks. He spots Shiro and Allura easily, their white hair making them stand out. They’d managed to claim a patio table - no small feat - and were chatting happily.

Lance joins them and it’s amazing how welcome he feels in this group, the way Shiro half-pulls a chair out for Lance. Keith is sitting to his right, his jacket draped over the back of his chair, the black t-shirt he wore stretching nicely over his chest. And if he didn’t know any better, Lance could swear he saw Keith’s eyes sweep down his neck and linger.

They ate and laughed and ate more, drinking fancy gourmet sodas. They make loose plans for the weekend - beach tomorrow, then the fair on Saturday, and maybe brunch before they leave on Sunday. Lance educates Keith in the ways of the garlic knot, the most sacred food item on earth. And when Keith shrugs and says they’re “alright,” Lance feigns offense, gasping and clutching his chest.

Pidge joins them later, looking utterly spent from a long day of classes. Lance gives up his seat so she can collapse into it. He kneels beside the table instead, passing Pidge the last of their pizza and appetizers. Keith gives him a look, then scoots over to one side of his chair, patting the other with his hand.

Lance short circuits, looking from the empty side of the chair to Keith’s face several times.

Keith rolls his eyes. “Get up here. That,” he points to where Lance is kneeling, “Is super bad for your knees.”

“Oh?” Lance slides into place, and it’s sort of uncomfortable with half of his ass hanging off the chair, but he can feel heat pouring off Keith’s body with how close he is. “You care much about my knees?”

Keith goes super red. “I’m a physical trainer,” He said, suddenly very interested in his soda. “It’s my job to care. Doing stuff like that will ruin them.”

“Right.”

Lance glances over at Pidge, who had a garlic knot halfway to her mouth and giving Lance the most predatory grin. He glares at her to shut down whatever evil plans she might be formulating.

They finally finish the food and decide to stop taking up a table, bussing it themselves to save the staff some work. Instead of a bar, they decide to head over to Lance and Pidge’s apartment to chill - half because Pidge isn’t 21 yet and wouldn’t be able to join them at most of the bars in town, and half because Vinnie’s was so loud that they’re all craving some quiet.

Lance is so thankful that his past self had the sense to clean a little more. They all sprawl out over the living room, Lance going to pull a chair from the kitchen to sit on so the guests can have the nice couch and Pidge can curl up in the easy chair. Lance offers up the ice cream sandwiches from the freezer and everyone takes one; Allura seems to be examining hers with great interest, like she’s never had one before.

Shiro talks a lot, mostly about what Harborville was like when he and Matt were in college. About their first apartment that should probably have been condemned, the dogs he’d walk between classes for extra cash. Eventually Lance’s cats come out of hiding to investigate, and Keith goes starry-eyed at Batou’s big green eyes and plush grey coat.

Pidge falls asleep in her chair just after nine. Everyone takes a second to coo at how cute she is before Lance bends down to scoop her up.

“Lemme put sleeping beauty here to bed. If she stays there she’ll be sore and cranky when she wakes up.”

He takes Pidge to her room and sets her on her bed, then wrestles her sneakers off her feet, setting her glasses on the bedside table and draping a sheet over her. When he goes back into the living room and sits in the chair he’d removed Pidge from, Allura gives him a fond look.

“You’re very sweet to her.”

Lance shrugs. “She’s pretty much family. Also, I have to do that all the time. I’ve found her face down on her homework out here more times than I want to count.”

They talk for another two hours. Lance feels a little lonely with Keith sitting on the side of the couch furthest from him, but then again, if he was closer, Lance isn’t sure his brain would work. Allura yawns wide.

“I think it’s time we turned in,” she states. “I’d like to get some rest before the weekend starts.”

Shiro agrees. Lance ends up seeing them off in the parking lot, waving as they drive away.

.

Hunk arrives just after 10am the next morning, armed with bags of groceries to pack a picnic for the beach. He puts Lance and Pidge on an assembly line in the kitchen, making pork sandwiches, vegetable rolls, hummus wraps, crab and radish tartines, potato salad, and chocolate-dipped clementine slices. He’d picked up a package of Lance’s favorite lemon cream cookies and Lance could almost kiss him for it.

With their precious picnic food carefully packed in an ice chest along with plenty of drinks, Lance shot a group text to Keith, Shiro, and Allura to ask if they were ready for the beach. He got confirmation quickly, and they agreed to hit the north shore near the lighthouse, where the sand was rougher but the tourists tended to be a little thinner.

Parking is a bitch but they find a spot, then wait by the trunk for Keith and Co to arrive. About ten minutes later Lance sees Allura’s Chrysler pull in to a spot. They walk over to meet them and Lance is practically bouncing, because 1) he gets to go to the beach, 2) he gets to go surfing with Hunk, 3) he gets to spend time with new friends, and 4) Keith is here. Everyone is in shorts and light shirts, Allura has this big floppy sun hat that is absolutely precious on her, and Keith’s face is shiny with sunscreen. Lance bets that fair skin of his will still be red by the end of the day.

They find a spot that’s decently clear and set up. Hunk, Keith, and Lance tackle the portable canopy that will hopefully keep them all from becoming completely sunburned while Allura and Pidge set out the sand blanket and arrange their stuff to keep the wind from blowing it away. Once they’re settled, the ice chest is opened and sodas and juice are passed around. The wind is strong today but not enough to be a problem for their canopy, and the waves are large and plentiful. Lance eyes the surfboard rental shack a quarter mile down the beach.

Once they’ve had enough of snacking and chatting, Lance gives Hunk fingerguns and they almost take off down the beach together, making a beeline for the surfboards. Rolo is working it as usual and after some searching they find the perfect boards and duck into the changing tent to get into their springsuits. Lance has the white and blue suit up over his hips and was about to pull it the rest of the way on when he remembers that Keith is sitting out there. Ever since Lance learned he was a Crossfit trainer, he’d started running and working out again. He wasn’t in as good a shape as he was when he’d been swimming competitively, but thanks to months of regular exercise, he at least sort of looked the part again. And maybe he wanted to show off a little. So Lance left the top of his springsuit open and hanging from his hips as they went back to the group with their boards.

“Showoff,” Hunk accused while they were still out of earshot of everyone else.

Lance subtly flexed his chest. “So? I worked hard for this.”

When they got back to the canopy, Lance did his best to act nonchalant as he set his board aside and started pulling his springsuit up over his chest. Keith was definitely looking at him. Mission accomplished.

His flirty nature satisfied, it was time to surf. Lance missed this so much, the first step into the ocean water was like heaven. He and Hunk paddled out until the water was smooth, then sat on their boards and waited. They didn’t have to wait long, Hunk caught the first good wave that came their way, riding it out and away. Lance caught the next one, and it was a crazy high. It just felt so good, cutting through the water with his board, turning, riding through tunnels of blue-green. The waves tossed him, wrecked him, dragged his body against the sand below. But every time, Lance would surface, shake it off, and paddle out for another go.

His legs finally started to shake, so Lance hauled his board back to the shore. Hunk was already sitting under the canopy again, changed out of his springsuit and sipping on a juice box.

“I was gonna give you ten more minutes before I dragged you out of the water,” Hunk said.

Lance didn’t reply, chest heaving as he caught his breath. His board hits the sand and he all but collapses onto the sand sheet, his ears ringing.

A water bottle appeared in his periphery. Lance looked up enough to trace the hand that held it back to Keith, who was wearing this cute little smile. Lance smiled back and took the bottle, downing half of it in one gulp.

Pidge starts pulling out food and Lance blindly eats whatever is handed to him, too exhausted to care what it is. It’s all delicious but with how many calories he burned surfing, he could probably be eating stale saltines and they’d taste like a delicacy. He leans back on the sand sheet and basks in the post-surf euphoria.

Lance notices everyone starting to get up. Allura is holding several frisbees with a gleam in her eye, and most of the group is rising to join her. Keith stands and, after fiddling with the collar of his shirt for a second, reaches back and pulls it over his head, letting it drop to the ground.

Lance is instantly awake because holy shit. Keith is ripped. He’s all tight skin and perfect muscles and - oh.

He’d been wrong when he’d assumed Keith’s tattoo was a wolf. It’s actually a lion, roaring fiercely, emblazoned in dark red ink over his left hip.

Keith takes a hair tie off his wrist and uses it to pull his hair up high on the back of his head. He shoots Lance a loaded glance before walking out into the sun to join everyone else for a game of frisbee tag. Lance memorizes the muscles of his back as he goes.

“Good god, you’re so loud.”

Lance sits up and turns to see Pidge, sitting in the center of the sand sheet in her shorts and green rash guard, with her phone in one hand and a cookie in the other.

“I didn’t say anything!” Lance protests. Pidge just cocks an eyebrow at him.

“Not with words, anyway.”

Lance frowns, then dares to look back out at his friends, finding Keith and tracking his movements across the beach.

.

They empty the ice chest of food and drink and, after several more hours of beach fun, they decide to pack it in and head out. Lance is going to remember this day for the rest of his life - the image of Keith glistening wet as he walked out of the ocean had finally taught Lance the meaning of the phrase “looks good enough to eat.”

Lance is so, so tired. Surfing wore him out but he still played a round of beach volleyball after that, and then swam some more. He’s going to be so sore tomorrow. He drives himself, Hunk, and Pidge back to their apartments to shower and change before they head over to the Air B&B where Shiro, Keith, and Allura are staying. Lance decides on a regular shirt and his favorite jeans, only bothering to put a single layer of moisturizer on his face.

The Air B&B turns out to be a whole house, with a yard and a little deck where they all gather around faded patio furniture as Shiro hands out beers. He gives Pidge a look as she takes one for herself.

“What?” She says as she twists off the top of the bottle. “I’m gonna be 21 in a few months, I’m in safe company, and I’m not driving.”

Shiro just sighs and sits down.

They talk and laugh for hours. Pidge only has one beer before switching to sweet tea, and Lance is a little relieved. He has no idea what drunk Pidge would be like and he’d rather not find out this weekend - he would be cash money that she’d be ornery as hell. Hunk orders some delivery from their favorite noodle place when Lance isn’t paying attention. Keith looks happy as a kid on Christmas with a giant bowl of pho in front of him, and Lance learns that Vietnamese food is his favorite.

They move inside once the sun goes down to keep from bothering the neighbors. Lance settles into a corner of the faded couch, and is too tired to panic when Keith sits next to him. Hunk launches into a story about his last term at school when he almost blew the breaker for the entire engineering building and Lance tries to pay attention, but he’s worn out and Keith is radiating heat like a furnace. Combine that with his full stomach and a couple of beers and he’s so, so sleepy.

Someone is calling his name and Lance inhales sharply, eyes fluttering open. It was Hunk, who’s smiling at him from across the coffee table. Lance is leaning on something warm and solid. He rubs his eyes and looks up.

He was leaning on Keith.

Lance’s eyes bug out but Keith just looks down at him with this tiny smile and a blush on his cheeks. Lance suddenly feels like the room is a million degrees as he carefully sits up.

“Sorry, didn’t mean to pass out.”

Keith laughs softly. “It’s fine.”

They all start to wrap up their stories and conversations. Lance doesn’t know what time it is but it feels late, and since they want to hit the fair tomorrow, they should all get some sleep. Hunk offers to drive home and Lance hands him the keys as Keith, Shiro, and Allura wave goodbye from the front porch.

He almost falls asleep again in the ten minutes it takes Hunk to drive them back to their apartment. Lance helps set up the pull-out sofa, then goes to brush his teeth. He’s practically nodding off at the bathroom sink when Pidge comes up to him and pulls out her phone.

“Thought you should see this,” she says, holding it up.

On the screen is a photo of Keith, and, with his head resting on Keith’s shoulder dead asleep, Lance. Keith is looking down at him and definitely blushing.

The toothbrush stills in Lance’s mouth as he swipes the phone from Pidge’s hand, using his thumbs to pull and zoom. Keith was smiling.

“Please send this to me immediately,” Lance tells her, words muffled from the toothbrush still hanging from between his teeth.

He’s in bed setting his alarm when he gets the text from Pidge with the photo attached. And if Lance hugs a pillow and kicks his feet a little at the sight, who could blame him?

This is like 4 days late cuz the power went out while I was doing this and it stayed off for days lmao thanks pg&e anyway 

I followed VLD since 2016 and am veeery fond of sheith. As a form of self-care, I decided to completely disregard the existence of season 8 and I daydreamed a  sappy, romantic ending I would’ve liked to see and am accepting as canon. GAY RIGHTS.

In a nutshell, Shiro and Keith get together and live on Earth. But you can’t tie down a space exploring power couple to one planet, so they go off with the Blade of Marmora. In this picture, they’re dancing to Fly Me to the Moon, celebrating their (kind-of) elopement and new life together.

I wrote a rough outline and bolded the main points. It’s long, so if you want to read it, buckle up and hit that Keep Reading!

Picking up from what little I remember of season 7 cuz I watched it the day it aired in 2018:

After the big battle with the Galra, everyone is chillin. Shiro is officially captain of the Atlas and Keith is like hell yeah I’m the Black Paladin! Idk whatever stuff they did to conclude the fight with the Galra, but I guess they did that. 

Idk why they killed Allura, but that doesn’t fuckin happen. Everyone is happy!

They eventually settle into their new roles on Earth with Pidge/Katie working as a head of the tech department with the Holts. Hunk and Lance handle diplomatic/relief affairs. Allura becomes the queen of the Alteans they found with Coran and Romelle as her advisory. The mice are there too.

As admiral, Shiro gets a cool fancy house. So they throw a house party and the gang and some of the cool Earth/Galran/Altean people are invited too. It’s a great party 10/10 and 3 hours in, Lance gets wasted cuz Allura drinks him under the table. Hunk is getting some water while Pidge/Katie is taking blackmail pictures. Coran is still partying with the mice and Romelle.

Keith and his introvertedness has his social battery run out at this point,  so he finds a porch to sigh upon. It takes Shiro exactly five minutes to notice that Keith isn’t coming back yet, so he seeks him out in the big fancy house.

 Shiro finds Keith sighing on the porch or smth and jokes about this being their easiest time finding each other and Keith smiles at this. Shiro has a beer or smth and Keith asks to try it to break the ice. Shiro teases him about being old enough to drink. Then he’s like uh yeah remember the time I was stuck on a meteor for 2 years with my mom?? Fair point. Shiro lets him try it and Keith spits it out cuz it’s nasty even though bruh probably drank swamp water. They laugh and banter about that too.

The mood settles and then Shiro asks about those two years. And about  their lost time. Keith asks if he took any of Kuron’s memories since he’s got a clone body now. 

He does. He remembers it, but Kuron’s memories feel like it’s him, but he’s taken a backseat and is watching himself do things instead of doing them himself. Then Keith asks him if he remembers what he said when they fought. “You said you love me,” Shiro speaks softly as he turns back to face Keith. “Is that still true?”

Finally they talk about their feelings. Like a well-developed couple should. Keith does still love him and says that he always will. Shiro also admits his feelings too. Thought he was fam. Turns out he was bae. They almost kiss, but the Voltron gang interrupts because that’s how it be.

The two awkwardly get dragged back into the party and Lance is recovering okay. Also, he’s been offical with Allura at this point too. Lance teases them about being a couple and Shiro and Keith are internally screaming. 

The party dies down and everyone starts to go home. The Voltron gang is the only few left and they help Shiro clean up. Lance gets benched cuz he’s still recovering. As they clean up, Shiro begins to notice how large and lonely the house is gonna get. He catches Keith before everyone leaves and slips him a key and says he’s always welcome just in case he gets lonely. Or something.... There’s some Shiro head scratching and Keith knows what’s up.

Everyone leaves. Shiro is alone. He tries to get some rest, but the house is too gotdamn big and unfamiliar. Being alone in a large space is not good for a guy with PTSD. He works out. He investigates his house, etc. Bro still can’t sleep. 

Afterwards, he just gives up and sits at his kitchen going like :( at a glass of water. Then the doorbell rings. Who is it? DING DING, It’s Keith!  With a duffel bag! Turns out he couldn’t sleep either. Shiro invites him to join him in the kitchen with his :( water and they talk a bit.

Then they pick up where they left off at the party and finally kiss. One of them asks if the kiss was okay, and the other is like HELL YEAH and so they keep going. It’s really spicy. One thing leads to another and then they go upstairs to Shiro’s large bed. (I’ll leave that to your imagination.) 

Either way, morning comes and Shiro wakes up with Keith in his arm(s). (HELL YEAH) Guess they got REAL official. He asks about the duffel bag. It’s literally everything Keith owns. So like. 3 outfits. And some weapons. Hygeine products. Etc. (Dude is a minimalist.) Kosmo is in the living room or smth. Bottom(lmao) line is, Keith planned on taking Shiro up on his offer the whole time. He literally just left to pack lmao (HELL YEAH) Shiro gives him his own closet and drawers since the room is big. Guess they live together now yeehaw. 

Eventually, everyone finds out they’re official and is like FINALLY and so they continue their lives on Earth with Shiro as admiral and Keith as captain. They sort out the war damage for a year-ish or so and then do whatever leaders do in peace time. Probably train their people idk. Shiro is up to his neck in papers. He’s not really digging it. He enjoys his peaceful life on Earth, but he often thinks about what it would be like exploring the galaxy now that the Galra aren’t a threat.

Allura and Lance get married. Lance still gets those blue marks but idk why. Why not lmao. It’s a big wedding and Lance throws the boquet. Keith catches it. He looks to Shiro and DING DING, the lightbulb goes off. The Altean Queen and King have many babies and they all have the marks too. Happy family. Goofy dad. Badass mum. Gotta rule the new Alteans too. That’s all good. They either live in space or get their own land cuz racism doesn’t exist on this earth. Cuz I said so. Either way, Lance and Allura visit the others often with their kids. Hunk and Pidge are GREAT with kids.

The Blade of Marmora calls. Krolia is like hey wus poppin’ son. Keith tells her he and Shiro are a couple and she’s like oh finally thank god. That guy was the only thing he’d talk about for the two years and like honestly it’d be awkward if they didn’t get together. But also, the Blade of Marmora needs Keith. For a while. Like, at year at least. He has a few days to decide to go with them. Keith’s torn between his people on Earth or his people in Marmora. 

Shiro tells him it’s okay to go. But before that, he kneels on one knee and presents Keith with a ring. An engagement ring!!!! It’s specially designed by Pidge with a one-channel track that won’t get in the way of any signals or whatever, but they can find each other, no matter where in the galaxy each is. (Since that’s been a recurring problem throughout the series.)

Keith goes. Keith Galra Facetimes whenever he can. Weeks pass. Months pass. Seasons fly. Shiro terribly misses his fiancé. Nothing goes terribly wrong since this is the endgame, but Keith is away for a looong time. More than a year. He misses Shiro terribly, but he knows his duty is to the Blade of Marmora, which has become a relief effort and guardians of the galaxy. No talking trees or raccoons, unfortunately.

Eventually, Keith makes his way back to earth. Krolia, Kolivan, Axca, and the other Blades are with him. Krolia has a mother-son moment with him and asks him what he truly wants. Keith wants Shiro, but he also wants the life with the Blade of Marmora. It’s way better than on Earth, (no offense.) Then Krolia asks, “Why not take your man with us? His skill is going to waste at that desk.” And Kolivan is like “Shiro is a man of honor. He will always have a place with us if he so desires.” And Keith is like :0

He tells Shiro to come with him and Shiro’s like :O But he’s got papers! And Duties! And... the ability to train a successor to be Admiral! He gets on it. But low-key. Cuz he doesn’t want everyone to freak out. Like All Might and Deku, but not as life-threatening a situation and no consumption of hair. It’s probably that guy who thought Keith was his rival. Jack? Jacob? James! Or someone else idk. Who’s Curtis? We can sprinkle him in, I guess. Not sure if Hunk would want to be admiral. But either way, Shiro steps down from his position and gives it to someone very capable.

Then the Blades are back on Earth. Keith leaps into Shiro’s arm(s) all dramatically and gay as God intended. Shiro and Keith get married!!!! Everyone is there and it’s such a happy day like wowie.

After the wedding/goodbye party and preparations, the newlyweds announce their leave into space. And they fly off! Shiro is part of the Blade of Marmora. They’re a happy family and visit Earth and Altea whenever they can. Everyone still gets together every year for Christmas or something.

The last scene is the space ship leaving earth with Frank Sinatra’s “Fly Me to the Moon” playing. The planets and space stuff fade further in the background. They’re in a field of stars. It cuts to Keith in his uniform holding Shiro, who’s in his earthly clothing and kissing his husband’s hand. A golden ring shines on each of their fingers and they continue to dance. Gosh, they’re so happy and in love. The two never lose each other again.

THE END!!!

[deliberately-aimless]

So when I first started watching Vld a few weeks/months (?) ago I started to write down some of my headcanons that came to mind. Some of them are also inspired by a voltron chat room I have with my friend so please excuse the randomness. Oh and this is before S6 came out so... the castle's still alive and well

• Shiro is the undefeated champion in armwrestling - no matter what arm he uses (and he's embarrassingly proud about that). Second place belongs to Hunk of course

• Pidge and Hunk like to get together and talk about sciencey stuff. Often they do some cooking or baking while talking

• Keith doesn't really know his limits, especially when training. Shiro or Coran often end his training sequence for him before he breaks down of exhaustion

• Shiro has PTSD; Lance has slight ADHD and Keith has anger management issues

• Lances family is #goals. There are so many people in it and they welcome everyone like one of their own

• Shiro likes training with 'his kids'. He adjusts his speed and force to their own but never goes at them full force. He always makes sure to praise them for every effort they show and never lets them feel bad for any weaknesses they have

• Pidge was actually the first one who called Shiro "space dad", Lance and Hunk followed shortly and even Keith does it sometimes but only when none of the others can hear it (even though they have more than once when Keith didn't know they were just around the corner)

• Even though Shiro sighs every time they call him "dad" he secretly loves it

• Even though everyone thinks Keith loves his 'emo bands' he's actually secretly into country but doesn't let anyone know (not even Shiro), the only one who had heard Keith humming to country once was Coran who doesn't really know what kind of music that was but actually kinda liked it. When he asked Keith about it he just got cussed at in heavy earthly fashion

• Lance did Ballett in his youth; Shiro did gymnastics and was on the cheer squad for some time

• When Lance is sad (mostly because he misses his family back home on earth) he likes to be left alone. Mostly he doesn't even let the others know when he's really sad because he just finds himself a place where he can be by himself

• Keith loves watching the stars. He usually searches for a place in front of a big window where he can just sit at and stare out of it. On one of those occasions he stumbled across a very depressed Lance and actually comforted him (from that moment on Lance actually didn't want to only be left alone when sad)

• When Shiro is grumpy he sometimes mumbles to himself in Japanese and it's the funniest thing ever for the others

• Hunk sometimes cooks Cuban meals for Lance because he knows them from visiting Lances family on earth and he knows Lance misses them (hell, Hunk himself even misses them because it's just the greatest family ever)

• They all just like to chill in their lions sometimes, there even have been occasions where they fell asleep in them

• When someone actually manages to say or do something that even Keith finds funny and he can't hold back his laugh it's just the cutest thing ever

• Who has the cutest/best laugh? 1) Keith (very rare; many snorts and surprisingly high pitched); 2) Pidge (Who else would you expect? Kinda childlike with much cackling); 3) Allura (melodic but also with many many maaany giggles; she tries to hide her laugh behind her hand sometimes); 4) Lance (Sometimes it sounds a little bit evil? Many cackles, some snorts); 5) Hunk (very very loud and deep; his laugh seems to vibrate through his whole body); 6) Coran (also kinda loud; just the laugh you would imagine from Coran); 7) Shiro (it's just kinda dad-like, nothing special, a little too loud but all in all the lamest ever and everyone looks at him confused cause he sometimes laughs at the most boring shit in the world)

• Keith loves well-thought-out puns but sadly they only occur from time to time. He doesn't get bad puns; Lance is a sucker for bad puns; Pidge is the meme-master

• Shiro sometimes actually wears eyeliner just because he thinks it's funny? He thinks nobody notices it but all of them do

• Shiro gives the absolute best hugs; Keith is the best to be hugged (even though he doesn't like it most of the time)

• Pidge really enjoys wearing dresses but because she's a practical person she doesn't wear them as often anymore

• When training Shiro sometimes uses a weird hair elastic which kinda annoys the others cause he could just like get rid of his little weird floof?! (But he actually likes it and feels cool with it)

• What do they drink in the morning? Pidge: big cup of the blackest coffee; Keith: sometimes black coffee, sometimes Cappuccino, sometimes just milk; Lance: Latte Macchiato; Hunk: juice; Allura: water or tea; Shiro: espresso or sparkly water; Coran: some altean goo

• Shiro really likes being around the others, he likes their bickering, he just likes the noise. He actually can't stand constant silence but if it's too loud he gets irritated as well - just the perfect middleground

• Shiro hates all kinds of worms, caterpillars are fine

• Keith and Shiro sometimes make really dark jokes but only when they're by themselves; they can't let the others know

• When any of the kids feel anxious or depressed Shiro immediately goes into full dad-mode and starts talking to them in the softest voice, gives them hugs, rubs their back, makes them the altean equivalent of cocoa, whatever makes his children feel better

• Lance loves to see the others laugh. He always wants to make them feel good and gives them compliments and stuff. Sometimes the others turn their eyes or sigh but they actually really appreciate it

• Allura and Lance often get together to do face masks and stuff, Coran sometimes joins them too. Once they tried to put a mask on a sleeping Keith but he was awake as soon as they wanted to enter his room and they had to run for their lives

• Keith is actually really shy and awkward especially when it comes to affectionate stuff

• Keith is a cat-person; Shiro loves dogs, Hunk does too; Pidge likes fish or birds or other small animals; Lance likes almost all animals; Coran would prefer the altean equivalent of a dog probably and Allura the one of a cat

• They all LOVE Kalteneckers milkshakes

• They enjoy playing games together. They even have many many games they came up with themselves

• Shiro takes the absolute worst selfies. It's like he doesn't even know how they work. One time you only see the top of his head, the other there's just a wall on the picture. Pidge always tries to teach him the proper way how to take selfies but he just doesn't seem to get it. Maybe he just doesn't want to because he really enjoys it when Pidge explains it to him?

• Lance more than once 'accidently' flashed his dick to different members of the team when coming from the swimming pool because he only ever takes his towel with him and that is sometimes not that set on his hips

• Hunk loves all kinds of domestic activities like cooking, baking, knitting, gardening - he even often cleans something when he's bored or upset

• Pidge and Keith are by far the heaviest cursers on the team. They get a lot of frowning and complaining from Shiro. Allura would probably do that too if she understood any of these cuss words

• What do they do if they can't sleep? Lance: plays video games or wanders of by himself through the castle; Pidge: joins Lance sometimes in his games or starts working on some new tech; Hunk: knits or does some gardening (he's built a little garden for himself on the ship); Allura: drinks tea or plays with the mice; Shiro: works out or reads; Keith: visits his lion or just lies in bed and tries to push his thoughts away; Coran: works on the ship or just talks to it?

http://archiveofourown.org/works/9557762     Lonely (But Not When You Hold Me) by SouthernBird     4k, Lance/Shiro, h/c,

It’s an unsettling thing, something sickening that doesn’t sit well at all, almost as if he should have noticed the lack of presence earlier. Wary as he is to admit it, there’s a tiny voice of longing that dances in his chest through the silence of the corridor he’s standing in, as if the lack of the warmth of Lance’s presence has made him cold.

(A bit of a fix-it story after Episode 8/10 of VLD: Season Two!)

.

http://archiveofourown.org/works/9550874     A Good Day to Slack Off by UnknownAuthorPerson 3k, gen, fluff, team bonding, truth or dare, 

It definitely wasn't how Shiro planned his day, but finding his teammates playing Truth or Dare was probably better than going through another day of rigorous training.   

.

http://archiveofourown.org/works/9137215     burn and break by epiproctan    2k, Keith-centric, smut, tentacles, 

Keith follows some local alien tips on how to work off his frustration.

.

http://archiveofourown.org/works/8655217     Just Like Sunlight by literal_trashbaby    3k, Keith/Lance, fluff, pining, 

when Lance found Keith milling near the fringes of the crowd and made some lame joke, he was expecting the usual snide remark, or at least that somewhat endearing incomprehension that bordered on naïveté. instead, Keith laughed. Keith laughed, and Lance’s world turned on its end.

OR: Keith laughs at a corny joke and Lance Was Not Prepare(TM)

.

http://archiveofourown.org/works/9124741    Too Busy Being Yours by Resamille     10k, Keith/Lance, pining, alcohol, 

Keith is in love, Lance is a mess, and maybe things might actually work out for once.

(alternatively: Keith pines, the stars are pretty, music boxes, Pidge can't hold their alcohol, lasers, and Blue is going to disown Lance after this.)

.

http://archiveofourown.org/works/9035474    Slowly, Surely by needchocolatenow    3k, Lance/Shiro, AU, pining, 

Shiro is tasked with an assignment to deliver important cargo to Altea. Lance is his second.

Or, the fic in which Shiro and Lance take a road trip through space in an unfortunately named shuttle.

http://archiveofourown.org/works/8408143     A Kiss is a Kiss (But it's never like this) by GibbousLunation    25k, Keith/Lance, 5+1, slow burn, h/c, injuries, 

“How does this keep happening to us, every time.” Lance grumbled.

“You’d think they’d stop sending us on away missions,” he agreed. Honestly, between the poisonous plants of their last planet, and Lance’s tendency to always end up on the business end of every blaster or pointy ended stick, Allura was just being inefficient at this point.

Or, five times Keith kissed Lance but the situation was less than ideal, and one time Lance finally kissed him back.

.

http://archiveofourown.org/works/8152486    Heatwaves on Autopilot by WhatTheBodyGraspsNot    56k, Keith/Lance, sex pollen, dubious consent, slow burn,  

Keith and Lance unknowingly inhale an alien aphrodisiac during a simple resource retrieval mission. But unlike the common aphrodisiac, this particular one reactivates under certain unknown conditions, later leaving them craving in situations that don't necessarily present them with many options. Keith tries to work through it, concerned with the sudden lack of control of his body, until he realizes the same thing is happening to Lance. So...great. How are they supposed to deal with this, keep it a secret, AND tend to the thousands of other responsibilities that come with defending the universe? (Together, of course.)

As someone who LOVES the sex pollen trope, let me tell you this fic is perfection. it has continuous sex pollen! and feelings! :D :D :D

His arm wasn't the only thing the Galra changed. They also gave him certain... needs.

Shiro learns to make it work for him.

http://archiveofourown.org/works/7491141    Lost and Found by battleshidge (Amiria_Raven)    75k, Shiro/Pidge, slow burn, pining, 

The dashed line from their current location to the box was labeled 00:02:47:29:12. Two hours, forty-seven minutes, twenty-nine seconds, twelve milliseconds.

In just under three hours, they would be headed away from the last known location of Sam and Matt Holt.

http://archiveofourown.org/works/8101003    BloodCam by hollo     116k, Keith/Lance, AU, blood play, self harm, cutting, cam show, asexual character, paraphilia, minor stalking by secondary character, 

It was Pidge who drew his attention to it, groaning at the pop up ad that had somehow broke through their ad blocker. “What sort of depraved bullshit is that,” She grumbled as she closed the window, but not before the site’s name was ingrained on Keith’s brain -DarkSinCams - along with a tempting teaser shot of a graceful neck pinched harshly in a prong collar. Exactly the type of bullshit that piques my interests, Keith thought. 

As an asexual with a thing for blood, let me tell you this fic is one that I never thought I’d ever get to read, a part of me that i never, even in my wildest fantasies, dared to think would ever get representation. Even if it deals with such a dark, dangerous kink that is arguably neither safe nor sane, it NEVER does so in a sleazy or creepy way. And, since Keith is asexual, it is sexual in a way where it’s not sexual at all? idk, i can’t really explain it. But, it is hella good and i love it.

Do take note of the warnings tho, if graphic self harm and cutting is a trigger for you, give this one a pass, yeah?

A false distress signal lands the paladins in a tough situation. It falls to Pidge to earn their freedom, and it doesn't come without a dangerous cost.

http://archiveofourown.org/works/9067054    String Theory by kingkoganes (noero)    4k, Keith/Lance, accidental soul bond, frottage, first time, 

The prospect of piloting the Red Lion had excited Lance at first, even if the mere thought of abandoning the Blue Lion made him uneasy. In hindsight, that should have been his first clue that something was bound to go wrong. Omnipresent robot lions were usually right about these things.

http://archiveofourown.org/works/9081937    Stir by wynnebat     4k, Pidge/Shiro/Keith, threesome, first time, 

Shiro, Keith, and Pidge find each other after the battle with Zarkon. It's finding the others that's the problem. And boredom.

http://archiveofourown.org/works/9197414     How Far Will You Go For Your Leader by WashiPuppy    24k, Lance/Shiro, Lance/OMC, dub-con, consensual voyeurism, marking, 

"You would throw yourself at my mercy his place?" The Druid asked with a curious tilt to her head, "And what would I do with you?"

"You could do anything you wanted with me, Babe. Just tell me what you want." Lance heard himself say low, sultry, and entirely without his rational brain intervening. He could practically hear the minds of the Galra in the room grinding to a halt.

Great, now when the rest of the team rescued Shiro, he'd have to tell them "Lance died after flirting with the enemy. There was nothing I could do. I think we all knew this was inevitable."

"You should be throwing yourself upon the Commander's mercy, not mine," The Druid stood and grinned down at Lance.

Ah well, what was the french saying? 'When the wine is drawn, you have to drink it' or something. He leaned slightly to give him direct line of sight to the Commander.

"You could do anything you wanted with me, Babe. Just tell me what you want." Lance repeated in the same sultry tone.

.

http://archiveofourown.org/works/8495119     popping tags by ladyfnick    8k, Keith/Lance/Shiro, clothes sharing,   

Sweaters are basically communal items, right? Lance has some unusual habits when it comes to other peoples things. In that he keeps accidentally stealing them. Whoops? Keith doesn't have that excuse.  

.

http://archiveofourown.org/works/9157693    Objects in Motion (When Unbalanced) by Mytay     37k, Keith/Lance, slow burn, pining, 

Lance and Keith are constantly being mistaken for a couple. Lance is highly offended. Keith is quietly outraged.

Pidge decides if she can’t have peace, then she can write an epic scientific dissertation on the romantic failings of two exceptionally dense paladins.

.

http://archiveofourown.org/works/7836556     Fake It Til You Make It by nikkiRA    26k, Keith/Lance, fake dating, pining, sex pollen,  

“No, it’s not that –” Keith tries to backtrack. “We just – we –” he isn’t sure what he’s going to say, he just knows he has to say something before he and Lance are forced to have sex with some weird alien species, while also keeping the weird alien king happy enough to create an alliance with them.

But not for the first time and not for the last, Lance pulls through.

Of course, this time pulling through almost gives Keith a heart attack, because Lance slips his fingers through Keith’s so that they’re holding hands.

“What Keith here means to say,” Lance says, and although his voice is steady, he is gripping Keith’s fingers so tightly it’s painful. “Is that we can’t mate with your people, although we, um, appreciate the offer, because, well. We already are. M-mated, I mean. With, you know. Each other.”

.

http://archiveofourown.org/works/9301076    in stasis by ilgaksu     26k, Keith/Lance, injury, physical disability, artificial intelligence, 

The story starts like this: with a story where you think you know the end, until it turns out you don’t, until it turns out you didn’t have a clue.

In which for three months of Lance McClain's life, he lives as an AI, waiting for his prosthetics to come online. It goes about as well as expected.

.

http://archiveofourown.org/works/9355586     monachopsis by DJBunn3     7k, Keith/Lance, pining, 

It’s not that family-like situations make Keith uncomfortable, per se. He enjoys spending time with his fellow paladins and the Alteans, obviously. And in a way, they’re almost like a real family. Shiro and Allura are like the parents, and Hunk and Pidge are the younger siblings, mischievous and playful. That makes him and Lance the twins, polar opposites and incredibly similar at the same time, and always arguing over something. And no, he hasn’t thought much about this at all. So obviously he’s got no problem with families. They’re fine, even great. Just because he never had one before, doesn’t mean he’s made uncomfortable by them.

But now? Now that he’s witnessing Lance’s charisma firsthand once again, watching his easy interactions with complete strangers that Keith can only hope to achieve with Shiro and the others, he feels strangled and alone. His heart thumps unevenly in his chest. He’s opened the can of worms in his head that he swore he’d never touch again, and now they’re just crawling around his brain.

What do you do when you’re an overemotional kind-of-smol teen who likes engaging physical and emotional fisticuffs BUT NOW your crush is feeling insecure because of you??? Compliment him until he sUBMITS. THERE IS NO ESCAPE FROM MY LOVE.

Lance is a self-sacrificing idiot and Keith is #done and frankly so am I

http://archiveofourown.org/works/9519404     All My Reasons Why by tylerproposey     11k, Keith/Lance, slow burn, pining, 

But what if Keith's favorite color isn't red...what if it's blue.

Keith who has never really had a favorite color. Then one day at the Garrison he catches a glimpse of Lance's eyes and it stops him in his tracks for that moment.

"That's it?" He realizes, "That's my favorite color,"

It starts off as an infatuation, nothing more than admiration for the entrancing blue eyed boy. It turns into a crush - something he’s never had - and suddenly every shade of blue reminds him of Lance. It ends with love, something deep and turbulent, really he never stood a chance.

“Oh my god, Keeeith,” Lance wheezed. “Keith you’re the best drunk space cadet I’ve ever seen.”

“Space cadet,” Keith mumbled. He repeated the words again although his eyes had zeroed in on Lance’s hands and Lance offered no resistance when Keith picked one of them up and pulled it possessively towards his lap. He began to gently trace over Lance’s fingers, sending shivers up Lance’s arm and down his spine. “You have looong fingers,” Keith murmured after a few moments.

Keith’s face perked up then, as if he’d just had a brilliant idea, and Lance could almost not wait to hear what new obscure thought had entered Keith’s pretty head. He was prepared to laugh, and instead found himself shivering again as Keith leaned far into his personal bubble, lips practically touching Lance’s ear when he spoke next.

“I bet you could reach all kinds of things, Lance.”

Kageyama has never been all that much interested in socialising—not to say he doesn’t like talking to people, but…honest, for the most part, he’d rather not be doing that—and there is comfort in a system that never changes. No matter what party he is invited to, what club meal or class drink or work social they try to wrangle him into, Kageyama does not cave, because the rest of his routine is waiting for him at home.

And if he’s late, he will miss it.

Hinata is a well-known cam boy, and Kageyama is his biggest fan.

Shouyou has always been aware that Kageyama gets riled up after a win. Very, very aware.

While everyone else is practically knocked out from a match or, you know, four -- the team’s snores and silence palpable on the bus back home -- Shouyou’s heart races and he imagines he could run to Tokyo and back, and maybe after have go at a couple more rounds of spiking drills.

And Kageyama... well.

Hinata and Kageyama are college roommates now, and Kageyama kind of wishes Hinata would call him by his given name every now and then. After all, they've been best friends for three years now, and aren't best friends supposed to call each other by their given names occasionally?

Not that he CARES, or anything. Except he does, sort of...

Kurama's still getting the hang of this ‘human’ thing, but given that he’s 30 years back in time with catastrophes to prevent and a blond brat to save, he’ll have to figure things out on the fly. Luckily, living with Naruto's been good for his ability to improvise, if nothing else.

an absolutely amazing read! masterfully plotted and perfectly balanced between action, character growth and fluff. i barely noticed the length tbh. contains more rare pair ships than the main one, all which i now ship. also, contains character deaths in the previous time line that is referenced often as the MC deals with the grief, but all in all it’s a lot ligther and fluffier than one expects.

He’s not sure where he is, but it’s definitely not Earth, and there’s not another living soul around.

First Officer Spock of the USS Enterprise is part of the away team that discovers the survivors of Tarsus IV. Captain Pike assigns him to the curious case of James Tiberius Kirk, who steals one of Spock's sweaters. 

-There were no sufficient Vulcan poetics to describe the emptiness of the colony as it was found on the morning of stardate 2249.43. The fully-completed residential sector was neither ugly nor beautiful but simply remote; a hollow landscape of metal alloys and sensible architecture, with determined vegetation growing alongside the support beams.

Lucky to escape with his life, he is bound for Earth on a rescue ship where he meets a strange fellow traveler: an elder version of himself. Disturbed by his counterpart's experiences in his own timeline, Spock vows never to follow the desires of his human half. But when a man named Jim Kirk comes into Spock's life, he's faced with a struggle to find the balance between Vulcan and human.

On the flip side, Jim never asked for a Vulcan chaperone, especially one as snotty as Spock, son of Sarek.

Sometimes a little bit of help can be found in the most unlikely of places, including the domicile of Peter Hale, and sometimes, a little bit of sanctuary is all it takes.

It's strange, because to the random unknowing passerby they're just two friends, maybe even family members, taking a road trip in the middle of a sweaty, endless June, but Peter's an ex-serial killer werewolf and Stiles is a little puny human who's eating all the chips like Peter won't rip his throat out if he eats the whole bag without sharing.

Stiles is fairly certain that a case could be made for every bad thing in his life coming back to Peter Hale. This time it's pissing off a powerful witch, who retaliated by swapping Stiles and Derek a la Freaky Friday, because sure. That makes sense. Um, there are GPAs on the line, not to mention the whole thing where his dad wants to shoot Derek on sight. Except who he sees as Derek is actually Stiles, and Stiles did not sign up for filicide.

Great. Wait...does this mean he's the Alpha until they figure this out? Holy. Shit. ****

Derek had stood in front of the bathroom mirror for a few minutes trying to control the panic as he saw himself as Stiles. As the loud mouthed human friend of the pack. He was going to kill Peter. He was going to kill the witch, then he was going to kill Peter. Maybe even resurrect him again just to kill him all over.

They were going to have to play this cool. They would have to stay calm and focused. Which is of course why the universe threw him into this situation with someone who physically couldn't be calm and focused.

Of course.

Peter’s eyes flick between the feather spinning between Stiles’ fingers and the harsh angle of the bend of his wings above his shoulders. He doesn’t look like any picture of an angel Peter has ever seen. There should be an elegant swooping curve there, neat little rows of white or gold or silver, pointed tips flung far out from Stiles’ body and a halo above his head. If Stiles is an angel, the myths are all wrong.

Yes, Scott and Stiles sleep in the same bed. Stiles would rather cut off both of his hands than touch Scott sexually, but he’s no stranger to showing affection, and they cuddle on a pretty regular basis. Their relationship is, in Stiles’ eyes, normal and healthy and exactly what they both need. Then Scott meets Alison, and they fall in love over a fucking pen (which is sickly sweet but so Scott), and Stiles suddenly has a lot more time on his hands.

Cue pottery classes, stargazing, a new friendship, and a lot of (totally platonic) fantasizing.

She was the children's librarian or volunteered at their school a lot, maybe watched Jackson after school, whatever, but she spent a lot of time around the kids, maybe helped Jackson overcome some reading issues, talked to him, listened to him in a way his mother didn't and so Jackson grew attached to her and jealous of Stiles, who always seemed to be acting up and giving her a hard time (pre-medicated ADHD) and Jackson was convinced Stiles didn't deserve her. Then she died. So Jackson doesn't know how to deal with that and Stiles is barely coping and maybe words are said which leads to years of actual, seething hatred, culminating in hate sex.

Seemingly without hesitation, and before Mary Lou had the chance to respond, Credence burst forth with his own, “Yes, sir, you may have me.”

The first thing Percival Graves does after being released back into the world is buy a new wand. He's at Greymalkin's for ten minutes and the only wand that works for him is raw aspen, whiter than bone and so rough that Graves gives himself a splinter conjuring a storm of birds. The wand—dragon heartstring, a most unusual wand for an American wizard, according to a flustered Greymalkin—feels wild, and Graves empties half his wallet on the counter and keeps his hand on his new wand all the way home.

The second thing he does is quit his job, because honestly.

("Grindelwald did his research before he put on your face," Seraphina says reasonably. "And it's not like you're open with your personal life. He has us all fooled."

"He wore scorpion stickpins!" Graves shoots back, somewhat less reasonably.

Seraphina looks at Graves, his pressed creases, his immaculate shirt, the red ruby cufflinks he's wearing to hide the starved brittleness of his wrists. "I'm sorry," she says. It is not enough to make him stay.)

The third thing he does is get jumped by Credence Barebone in an alley.

He will be the first and most honored among my generals, and together we will usher in a new era of peace and prosperity for wizard-kind.”

[dent-de-leon]

Hello! Just wondering but what do you think is going to happen in terms of the sheith relationship from the season 2 end point. I mean, you have have extensively talked about how they support each other and their chemistry but surely shiro's absence will not only leave Keith without a comfort source but will potentially leave tension between them. What do you think?

Hi!! Well to be honest, I think a lot of how Keith reacts in the future will be grounded in the past. Losing Shiro now will definitely be used to parallel what happened in the aftermath of Keberos. So I have a feeling that season 3 will start off with Keith’s initial reaction to everything being mirrored by flashbacks. This will also help further develop both characters and fill in gaps like how Shiro changed Keith’s life, what he really did after the garrison, ect. 

But, with what we know up to this point, here’s some stuff about Keith’s background we can infer: Given our timetable of when Keith is kicked out–after the Kerberos mission failure news airs, but before Pidge enlists–it’s pretty heavily implied Keith left because of Shiro. He leaves almost immediately after Shiro disappears, and Joaquim has said that “[Keith] latches onto Shiro at times because Shiro’s sort of the only thing that can really calm him down and keep him in check.” The garrison covering everything up, pinning all the blame on Shiro and being unwilling to send another ship to check things out–even to just retrieve the bodies–I can see how that would make Keith blow up. 

And from there, we know Keith went off in this self-imposed exile into the desert. He doesn’t just distance himself from people–he doesn’t interact with a single human for a year, instead following his instincts. Following the trail of the blue lion, throwing his everything into chasing after ghosts. Shiro’s shocked when he sees the conspiracy theory board, so we can guess that this maybe wasn’t something Keith was always into. But he was willing to get fully immersed in something entirely unconventional because he felt like he finally had a purpose again. There was a light in the dark, and he chased it. About his time in the desert and Shiro’s return, Keith says “After getting booted from the garrison, I was kind of lost, and found myself drawn out to this place. It’s like something…some energy, was telling me to search.” Shiro asks what it was he’s been searching for. So, Keith talks about all these signs pointing to “some arrival last night.” His voice goes soft as he looks meaningfully back at Shiro and says:

“Then you showed up.”

So, what does that tell us about Keith? 

He needs a sense of purpose. The garrison gave him a goal, a point of focus, and he was damn good at what he did. Top cadet of his class, the best fighter pilot when that career track is already the most competitive. After losing Shiro and leaving the garrison, Keith had nothing to fall back on. He chases after this one feeling on a whim because he’s lost, he has nothing else; it feels like his only hope, and he really wants it to actually lead him to something. He follows it because he can’t just sit by and do nothing 

In this context, telling Keith to lead Voltron was probably the best parting gift Shiro could give. It ensures that Keith has a personal mission to keep him going, something to work towards and force him to carry on. He has to stay with the team because now he leads the team; he has to stay strong for all their sakes. And he won’t feel like he has nothing, like he just has to run away into the desert again

He might be more withdrawn but, with the responsibility of black lion, he knows he can’t just up and leave the team. Again, this prevents him from detaching himself from people completely. It means he won’t have to go through losing Shiro alone again, and he’ll have other people to lean on and help him through it. This time he has friends, people he can trust and start to open up to. That’s really good for him 

And I mean, we’ve already seen how important staying with the team is for Keith

but, conversely, he’s already left the team once already (because he was afraid he was a danger to everyone). So we know that Keith is very much someone who believes in the “greater good” and sacrificing selfish, personal desires for the sake of others. If he feels like the universe needs him to stay with the team, then we certainly have reason to believe he will. 

However, there is one thing Keith consistently values over the “greater good”:

In the end of season 1, he says they can’t go and save Allura, because it’s too dangerous and would put everyone at risk. About ten minutes later though, he breaks from formation and runs off on his own because Shiro’s in trouble. This despite the fact that he doesn’t have a plan and, again, it puts the rest of his team in danger

When Keith temporarily leads the team at the end of season 2, he makes defending Shiro everyone’s top priority. (granted this is a given, considering that shiro is unconscious and it’s his lion Zarkon’s after. But still, he prioritizes Shiro’s safety over taking out Zarkon) 

In the BOM trial, Shiro tries convincing Keith to give up because it’s his duty as a paladin to stay with the team–they’re also his family and they need him. That’s not what gets Keith to quit though. 

You know what does? 

Ya, seeing that Shiro is going to walk away again and leave him all alone. Staying true to his duty as a paladin isn’t enough. Team Voltron being his family isn’t enough. The implication that, all that aside, losing Shiro would still somehow leave him entirely alone–well, it says a lot. Keith’s abandonment issues run pretty deep, and his fear of losing Shiro especially (we can probably attribute this to Kerberos). So Keith could be in a really bad place at first, feeling like he was left behind again; he’ll know it’s not Shiro’s fault, of course. But you can still feel abandoned from something like that, and maybe resent that you ever let someone get so close. 

So while I certainly think Keith will be in a better place now than he was after Kerberos–both because he has his team and his commitment as a paladin–it doesn’t mean he’s just going to give up and forget about Shiro. I can’t see him just up and leaving the team out of nowhere to search on his own either, but I definitely think he’ll be the one who really pushes for them to find Shiro as soon as they’re able. 

Obviously this could still cause a lot of tension with the team, and I think it’s very likely we’ll see some more buildup to the whole “Choice” thing–already in vld there seems to be this idea planted that Keith will eventually have to choose between Shiro and the rest of the team. He and Allura especially are only just patching things up now, but it’s possible their rough spots in season 2 could be indicative of other problems later down the line. And we know that Allura and Keith are very objective, logic-based decision makers. So it could be that, at some point, Keith might prioritize finding Shiro over everything else, and has a falling out with Allura about it. I’ve talked about this before, but there’s already foreshadow to Keith siding with Shiro against Allura–or at least being torn between them 

And I mean tbh, I think at some point, Keith will temporarily have to find Shiro on his own. Because if Shiro really is in the astral plane, he’s going to need another black paladin to go in there and help him out. So I imagine at some point Keith will have to make the choice to go on that journey by himself. 

But, even before that, I think we’ll still see more development in Keith and Shiro’s bond. Not just from Keith missing him or having flashbacks, but also just by virtue of his connection to the black lion. We’ve seen Black impart her memories of Zarkon to Shiro before, so it’s very possible she could also share memories and act as a stream of consciousness between Shiro and Keith. I think the two of them communicating through Black could end up being a big part of season 3. Shiro might be out of the picture for now, but that doesn’t mean his presence–or absence–won’t be felt 

And while Keith will definitely open up more to other characters and grow closer to his team, I’m certain that none of them can ever replace Shiro. And seeing people substituting their fav for him as some kind of means to comfort Keith is honestly a trope that just really personally bothers me. It also undermines every bit of character development that was poured into Shiro and Keith’s dynamic 

Similarly, Keith may be the black paladin for now. But he’s not here to be Shiro; his leadership style will definitely be his own, and that may very well shift the entire dynamic of the team. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it just means things will be different. That being said, just because I think Keith will make a good leader, it doesn’t mean I think Shiro was a bad one. They’re both good leaders in their right. And if Shiro does come back soon, I fully expect him to be our black paladin again. Especially when so much of season 2 was about Keith trying to reassure Shiro about his role and convince him to embrace it (see: “you mean your bayard”) not to mention how much Shiro and Black really bonded

My VLD season 9 episode 1: Grief

7 part 1 7 part 2 8 fix The leaves crunch underneath his sneakers in a steady rhythm, his breath enters and leaves his chest in sharp puffs. He pushes past trees and jumps over obstacles as we watch the forest flash by trough his eyes. Flashes of memories fill his mind. A cryopod opening and a warm weight filling his embrace, his heart stopping for a brief second, his breath completely escaping him a moment. He pushes harder. A Princes covered in space slush after a gigantic food fight, satisfied with her accomplishment. He shakes his head. He has to stay focused. A vision in pink. His heartache over losing his beloved lion soothed, knowing she’s in good hands. A tear escapes him, he wipes it away. His vision is blurry. Her smile, her eyes, holding her in his arms. Comforting her after she had her heart broken. No. He didn’t want to think about it. Eyes still blurry he jumps over a fallen tree. We see his foot catch on a branch, he falls and rolls of a slope as more memories flash. Introducing her to his family, telling her he loves her, cuddling together in their rooms, the first time she said she loved him back, stolen kisses in corridors... The last time he saw her face. He hit the end of the slope and rolled back into a standing position and shot himself forward again. It was no use, she was gone. All that was left of her were the marks on his cheeks and the entire freaking planet they’d camped out on for the past three weeks. Helping the new Alteans build themselves a home hadn’t been as much of a distraction as he’d hoped. Everywhere he looked he was reminded of her. They were even busy building a statue in her honor. Something he was pretty sure Allura would’ve thought entirely unnecessary. And yet, they were almost halfway done. Soon his late girlfriend’s face would stare down upon the place where they’d first touched down, where their lions were still standing. Motionless... Pointless. He breaks through the tree line and found himself looking up at said statue. He digs in his bag for his water bottle and takes a grateful swig. He sits down and looks up at the morning sky. New flashes, this times not memories but fantasies. Him taking Allura dancing, going out for dinner, having a drink in a café, see sappy movies, watching sunsets, proposing, marrying, having children and growing old together. All things that were for some alternate universe Lance and Allura. It was some kind of bittersweet comfort to know that they had a future in some realities. He’s just stuck in the one where he has to miss her every day. “Sir Lance!” The excited voice wakes Lance from his daydreams. “Oh, hey Shasha!” Lance greets the Altean girl who’d been the first to approach him. Over the past few weeks she took to following him around and asking him all kinds of questions about voltron and the universe. He tried to direct her to Pidge or Coran for proper insights in the workings of these things but she insisted on hearing it all from him. She’d also taken it upon herself to help the team in any way she could. She held the paladins in high regard. That much was clear. It was probably not fair of him to think of her as a kid. She wasn’t that much younger than Pidge after all. Then again Pidge had seen a lot in the past year. They all had. None of them could still be called kids he supposed. “Mister Keith is looking for you!” Shasha called out as she closed the distance between them in a sprint. Lance smiled, though it didn’t quite reach his eyes. The others had been trying their best to be there for him, which was exactly why he’d needed to get away for an hour or so this morning. Pidge was a disaster in trying to comfort people. He didn’t think he could take another feel better meal from Hunk. He was not going to allow Shiro to relapse in his grieving processes because he was trying to cheer him up. Especially now that he seemed to be getting somewhere with that Curtis guy. He couldn’t face Coran, not yet. He felt like he’d failed him in failing to protect Allura. And Keith... Well, that mullet wasn’t so bad he supposed. He’d actually been good about being there without being pushy. Still Lance prefers to deal with this on his own. His team however seems determined to keep an eye on him. Lance gets up. “Let’s get back to the atlas,” he sighs as he follows her to the massive ship that has been their home away from home for a the past four months.

Near the base of the statue stands Coran with a few of the older new Alteans. “Come on! We should hurry!” calls a young girls voice, prompting him to look up and find Lance being dragged towards the ship by Shasha. For a moment they lock eyes. Before Coran can muster a smile and wave, Lance looks down, seemingly shrinking down, causing Coran’s heart to break. “Anny luck with the red paladin?” One of his new friends asks concerned. Coran sighs. “No, he shuts down whenever anyone tries to talk to him about Allura. And when it comes to me… Well he can’t even stand to be in the same room as me. I blame myself. When he approached me about dating Allura I gave him a hard time. When she got hurt in the astral plane I held it against him.” His eyes start tearing up. “I knew that he’d fought against that decision the hardest. And I knew that there was no denying Allura once she wants something.” He slams a fist on the table in frustration before whipping at his eyes. An Altean woman named Leyla puts a comforting hand on his shoulder. “When my husband was brought to the colonies, my son Simon was like that. He shut himself of from the world. At the time I of course didn’t know that he was very right to mourn like that. But I let him. Even though I was convinced that my husband was living happily on the other colony, in many ways it was like he was dead. We had after all no guarantee that we would be reunited with him. So I let him grief. But after a month of silence, my sister was tired of seeing us both suffer. She sat him down and told him that I was miserable and that neither of us could handle losing him too. Do you know what happened?” Coran shakes his head, whipping away the last few tears. “He broke down crying and I hugged him. Soon we found that we both wanted to reach out but didn’t know how. Someone has to pull Lance over the line. Maybe not you. But someone has to do it.” Coran thinks about this and nods. He’ll talk to the others about this as soon as he’s done here.

We find Hunk and Pidge in the kitchen where Pidge is watching Hunk put some sort of icing on cupcakes. “So… what is this again?” Pidge asks. “Well the cupcakes are just regular earth recipe. But the icing has Junaberry juice in it. It’s amazing. The things I’ve managed to use this juice in. I get why the old Alteans had an entire festival for it.” Pidge picks up a finished muffin and takes a bite. “Hey!” Hunk complains. Pidges face lights up. “That tastes really good!” she exclaims. “Thanks but you didn’t have to steal it,” Hunk grumbles as he finishes of the last cupcake. “Allura would’ve liked them to,” Pidge muses sadly. Hunk sighs. “I really hope so,” he whispers. The two paladins leave the silence hanging between them as they take a moment to mourn their friend.

On the bridge Shiro stands at the window staring of at nothing in particular. He’s alone. There’s no emergency, no one needs to man the many monitors or steer the ship. Everyone is preparing the Atlas for the long trip home or taking some time to explore the new planet. “Mind if I join you?” Shiro looks back at his unexpected company. It’s Curtis. “I won’t stop you. It’s a free universe,” he tells him. A small smile appears as he realizes the truth in that statement. It is a free universe. All their work has finally paid off. Then the smile disappears as he once again remembers how high the price for that freedom was. Curtis stands next to him and shares in his silence for a few moments. “Are you alright?” he asked. Shiro smiled sadly. “We won… The Galra are defeated, Honerva is stopped, the Alteans are home, even the homeplanet of the Galra has reapeared… And still I feel like we lost.” Curtis thought for a bit about that. “We did… I guess no one wins in a war… If you could go back and make this someone else’s mission would you?” Shiro took a moment to think about that. What if he’d listened to Adam and stayed. Married him. Been a stable guidance for Keith. Who would’ve gone to Kerberos in his stead? Would they have taken Matt’s place as fighter? Would they have managed to defeat their opponent? Would they have made it to earth? Would they have managed to escape quarantine and found the blue lion in addition to the pilots needed to form Voltron? Or would the Galra have taken over a completely unprepared and defenseless earth? Maybe then he still would’ve ended up in the rebellion. Fighting the Galra with a group stubborn Garrison students. Freeing the blue lion from the Galra and starting the same adventure maybe a few months later. “No…I don’t know if I was the best person to lead Voltron, or the Atlas, but if Slav is to be believed, we’ve escaped far worse scenario’s.” Curtis lays a hand on Shiro’s shoulder. “Then stop fretting about what you can’t change. Mourn those we’ve lost, but…” Curtis turns Shiro to fully face him, his eyes softening. “Don’t lose sight of the future.” Shiro smiled grateful for the peptalk. “Thanks Curtis,” he sighs. “So,” Curtis continued. “Are we still on for dinner tonight.” The blush on his cheeks is now more obvious. Shiro chuckles softly and nods, also blushing slightly. “Wouldn’t miss it for the galaxy.” “Liar,” Curtis chastises playfully.

In one of the cabins Veronica is sat on her bed in front of a computer screen. “Things are looking good here! The Alteans are settling in nicely. We might get to return home soon!” she tells her parents over the video call. Now that things were peaceful they’d managed to make a connection with Earth’s new satellites, which were made to accommodate deep space communication. “That’s wonderful dear! How long until you’re back?” her mother asks, excited at the prospect of having all her children back home with her. “Well... Since we can’t use the teledove it might take a while. We’re stocking supplies for a few months. I’ll check with Sam later.” The subject of the teledove saddens everyone.  The reason why the journey will take so long hangs in the air every time it’s brought up. “How’s your brother?” her father asks carefully. “We haven’t heard from him since...” Veronica looks down, biting her lip. “He’s been... Distant. Every time I get close to trying to talk about it with him he runs of with some excuse. I don’t know what to do. I know he needs my help, but I don’t want to push him. I’ve been hoping one of the other paladins or Shiro can get through to him. They knew Allura better than I did. But maybe I should make him talk to me? He can’t keep avoiding everyone like this.” She adjusts her glasses, an uncertain frown on her face. “Just be there for him dear,” her mother suggests in a soothing voice. “He’ll open up when he’s ready.” Veronica sighs, she hates the waiting. Lance was brushing off anyone who tried to comfort him, insisting he was fine. But he wasn’t. Lance did not avoid his friends when he was fine. Her mother was right though. Lance never responded well to being pushed emotionally. Just outside her door the black paladin, in full armor, listens in on the conversation. His face shows his frustration. No one seems to be having any luck getting Lance to open up about what happened. Every time someone tried he ran the other way. The whole team is worried about their red paladin’s emotional state. If even his sister was at a loss what to do, then they’re in big trouble indeed. Heck if he was avoiding talking with his family back home when given the chance, then there was something seriously wrong with him. Lance had always been the most vocal about his homesickness and now he wasn’t going to take the chance to talk to them? Keith turns away from the door and walks to the docking area, his mind made up. When Shasha finds him he’ll be waiting for them. And Keith is planning on dragging his right hand man to the training room where they’ll work this out his way. In a good old fashioned fight. No sooner has Keith opened the door or he can see Lance, his clothes slightly damp from the sweat he’d worked up during his run. Dirt all over his training clothes and even some on his face. Lance spots him and smiles, but not the way he used to. With that slight challenging gleam, or on occasion the fond lights twinkling in his eyes. Instead his eyes are stained with grief and regret. ‘He’d been crying.’ Keith realizes. “Hey Keith!” he greets him with a salute. Keith gives a firm nod. “Thank you Shasha, I’ll take him from here. Your parents are looking for you,” he tells Lance’s shadow. Shasha huffs, not happy with being sent away, but gives him a small bow and leaves. “So ‘mister’ Keith,” Lance jests, sounding almost like himself. “Shasha said you were looking for me?” Keith nods. He’d planned on a calm conversation at first, but drastic measures seem in order. “I wanted to have a go in the training room, but I didn’t feel like fighting a droid. So I wondered if you’d spar with me?” He was careful to phrase it as a favor. Lance looks surprised at the suggestion, but smiles a little excited. “Sure, if you want to get knocked on your ass so bad,” he teases with a wink. More relaxed than Keith had seen him since… since Clearday. He smiled at that. Perhaps messing around in the training room was exactly what the doctor ordered. “Keep dreaming,” he teases back with a playful punch to the Cuban’s shoulder. “Get changed, I’ll meet you there in ten. Don’t be late.” “Ai ai, captain.” Lance salutes him to underline his statement before disappearing in his room. Keith leaves to do a few warm ups before they start.

As Lance showers of the sweat of his run so he won’t have to go into his armor feeling sticky, he allows himself to feel a bit excited over sparing with Keith. They’d never done that really. It’d always been teambuilding exercises. To be fair it had been pretty pointless to fight each other when one fought with a gun and the other with a sword. But now he had a sword of his own to wield. As he started to put on his armor he spotted the mice. They’d started hanging around him ever since… he shook of the thought. “Hey there. Caught me at a bad time. I’m off to spar with Keith,” he told them. The mice squealed some. Sounding curious. “I don’t know why. Guess he just wants to blow off steam. I could use some of that too. With everything that happened…” Lance secured his chest armor and called forth his beyard looking at it, recalling the first time he’d produced the sword. Other than during training he’d only used it during his fight with king Altor. He grinned as he imagined Keith’s face when he was met with a broadsword. He hadn’t been there when Lance got it… When they were left with the fake Shiro… When Keith was of on his own, abandoning his team, finding his heritage or whatever. Lance’s face darkened, cold determination filling him as he marched to the training room. His beyard understanding it’s wielders intent and changing into a sword.

After a bit of stretching Keith picks up his Galra blade and works on his forms, practicing thrusts and blocks. Suddenly his thrust is met with a loud ‘klang’ and he finds Lance holding his beyard which has taken the form of a broadsword. When did that happen? “Like it? I first got it while you were off with the blade. Two days before Lotor became emperor.” They pulled back and started an epic swordfight. “You missed a lot when you were of on your own adventure!” Lance grunts as he blocks Keith’s attacks and charges in for his own. “I don’t think we ever sat down and got you caught up on it all. Did we?” Keith just rolls with it. If this will help Lance get things of his chest then so be it. “No,” Block, jump back. “I guess we all just got distracted with the whole” He charged forward. “craziness when I got back.” Lance laughs a humorless laugh as he blocks Keith’s attack.. “Isn’t that just the story of our lives though?” He mused before attacking Keith’s left side. “One crazy thing after another?” he continued as his sword once again was met with Keith’s. “That’s how it’s been since Shiro first fell from the sky,” He concludes as he jumps back. Keith nods right before he barely dodges another thrust from Lance. “How could you though?” Lance’s face darkens. Keith is shocked by the sudden turn in his tone of voice. “Why was it so easy to leave us? When we needed you? Do you have any idea how worried we were? Didn’t you care at all?” These accusations combined with Lance’s progressively more aggressive attacks, come as such a shock to Keith that he’s forced to play defense in both their fight and their conversation. “I did…” Slide under the blade.  “a lot.” Block. “That’s why I wanted to stay away.” Block and try to disarm. Fail to disarm. “It’s not a proper excuse I know.” Jump aside. “But it was a kneejerk reaction to leave when I felt like you all got too close to me.” Block and charge. “I knew it would hurt if any of you left me, so I left first. I forced Black to pick another Paladin, one he knew wasn’t to be trusted.” A frenzy of clanging swords. It’s hard to tell who’s blocking who at this point. “It took being stranded for two years with my mother to realize that leaving you guys was because of issues I wasn’t dealing with properly.” He crouches down and swings his leg to swipe Lance of his feet, literally. He gets back up, kicks away Lance’s beyard and holds the sword to his friends throat, indicating his victory. His chest heaving with exhaustion from the intense battle. “I never properly apologized for any of that. I don’t know why you even accepted me back as your leader, but you did. And now, I ask, properly, for your forgiveness. You didn’t deserve me bailing on you guys like that.” He reaches out a hand, which Lance takes to help himself sit upright. He doesn’t get off the floor though. Instead he hugs his knees and lets his head rest on top of them. Keith sits himself next to him. “You didn’t have to apologize. I’m not really mad about that anymore… I mean it sucked and everything. But I wasn’t mad. Not mad enough to hold a grudge. I guess I just… I wanted to be mad at something, someone. Fight something. And not just a spar, but a real fight!” Lance struggles to explain this aching need inside his chest to his mulletheaded friend. “I’m sorry I took it out on you,” he mumbles. “Lance, I get it. I felt this exact way when my dad died, and when Shiro disappeared. And believe it or not but I feel the same anger towards losing Allura. I know it’s a bit different for you because of the way you loved her. But we all loved her.” Lance starts shaking, trying to hold back the wave of emotion that threatened to break him. Keith, never the one to show physical affection decides to be brave and throws one arm around his red paladin. Squeezing his shoulder in comfort. “She… She saved my life once you know?” he mutters, silent tears rolling over his cheeks. “We were repairing some galra structure, back when we were all buddy, buddy with Lotor. Something went wrong and I saw this lightning heading towards her and, well you know me. I never had much sense of self preservation in life or death situations. I took her place. And I was out. For like five minutes. Nothing. And then there was this light and warmth, a tingling on my cheeks,” he touches the marks on the exact spot where he’d felt the sensation. “And I was back. If not for her, I would’ve been a goner for sure. I think that’s where my marks came from you know. When Allura transferred Shiro’s soul into the clonebody she gave it some of her lifeforce, turning his hair Altean white. With me she did the same, but the lifeforce she gave me didn’t show until… until recently. Does that sound weird?” Keith shakes his head. “That actually makes a lot of sence.” Then he looks away again. “You really died?” he whispers. He’d nearly lost his best friend and he wasn’t even in the same solar system at the time? “Almost kinda? I’m not sure where I was on the death scale. My guess is I was farther along than when the galra invaded the castle of lions. But not quiet all the way. My soul was still firmly attached to my body at least,” Lance jokes. Keith frowns. Lance might not be mad at him anymore, but he sure was. He should’ve been there for his team. He takes a deep breath. No use dwelling on it now. He was here now. “Hey! There you guys are!” It was Hunk and Pidge, with a tray of goodies, closely followed by Shiro and Coran. “I made muffins, anyone want to try?” Hunk offers the plate to his teammates. Lance chuckles. For real this time. “Are you trying to fatten me up?” he jests as he gets up and takes a muffin. Keith joins him and takes one too. The rest of the remains of team Voltron follow their lead and they all have a taste. “This frosting has Junaberry’s in it doesn’t it?” Coran whispers touched. “Yeah, I’ve been experimenting with all kinds of recipes,” Hunk explains. “They’re great,” Keith pipes in as he takes another bite. Lance looks at his muffin, lost in thought for a moment. “To Allura. For all the little moments we’ll have thanks to her,” he toasts as he holds up the colorful pastry. The others nod solemnly, Coran with a smile and a tear in his eye. “To Allura!”
