#lance is a pilot!

[bluedemon1995]

“That’s my gir—“

Pidge blinks, taking in the sudden appearance of Keith, who is currently holding his blade at Kyle’s neck along with his arm tightly wrapped around his shoulders. “Keith!!!”

Keith murmurs, “Now, who’s girl is yours?”

Lance’s grinning face appears next, “Hey! We are back from our mission, which of course was a success. Let me tell you, my piloting aged like a fine wine!”

Pidge scoots back to hit Hunk on his back, as he’s currently choking on his pizza, and interjects “Keith, bud, why don’t you put the knife down before Shiro sees you. You know you can’t keep doing this.”

its 2018. fall out boy released mania, Brendon urie released pray for the wicked, and twenty one pilots released trench. supernatural is on season 14 without any signs of destiel. Voltron season 8 just came out and decimated both klance and its fanbase. the third trials of Apollo came out and made everybody miserable. dan and Phil are on tour, and the final Phil is not on fire came out. Tumblr is never going to be the same.

#sorry I'm going to a con rn and I'm wearing my lance Voltron jacket which is both layered in meta irony and also very sincere to my past #what a crazy year. I was 13. #fall out boy #panic! at the disco #twenty one pilots #supernatural #destiel #voltron #klance #trials of apollo #riordanverse #dan and phil #dan howell #Phil lester #pinof #I have a genuine love for this period of my life and all of these things (except for Brendon urie) #cringe is dead. I love you fandom

[one-thousand-and-one-fandoms]

Inspired by @mdoodlerfandomart 's Coalition Lance AU.

~~~

The Voltron team was in a somber mood as they made their way back to Earth. Pidge a bit less so, because she was so looking forward to seeing her mom and dad, but even that only served to remind her that one of their own wouldn't be coming home to his family. The Voltron team had a Lance shapped hole in their ranks and everyone was feeling his absence.

Coran missed the incesant chatter from the coms which Lance had usually initiated, and Allura missed their gossip beauty sessions. Shiro had an immense amount of guilt over Lance's capture, despite technically not having been there when it happened. He contantly wondered if his clone had somehow set Lance up in an ambush, and hated that his memories of that time were disjointed and blurry at best.

Pidge busied herself by radioing every ship and planet within distance to ask if they had seen a man, tall, brown skin and blue eyed, but everyone she could get in contact with said no. (On the plus side of this process, though, they did discover that the Coalition seemed to be in good hands, so that was a relief, at least.)

Hunk kept a small notebook where he drafter hundreds, if not thousands, of ways in which he might have to break the news to Lance's family that their son, brother, cousin, uncle, etc., was MIA, likely presumed dead. None of them were completed because Hunk inevitably broke down in tears every time before he could finish any of them.

And Keith... well, Keith kept holding onto hope that Lance was alive, somewhere in the wide universe. He simply refused to believe that Lance was dead. The team kept telling him he was in denial, but it was the only thing that kept him going. Otherwise he didn't think he'd be able to function. He often played with one of Lance's necklaces that Keith now wore and wondered about his whereabouts.

If he was in a good mood, Lance had escaped to a planet of peaceful aliens and awaited rescue. It was his greatest, most indulgent daydream that they defeated the Galra once and for all and Keith led a rescue mission to find Lance, found him and brought him home. However, if he was in a bad mood, he tended to imagine progressively worse case scenarios that left him on the verge of a panic attack and spiralling. It was the uncertainity that got to him and wore him down.

As the Earth finally appeared in front of them, Red and Blue picked up speed and went ahead of the rest to spearhead the formation. It was a bit unusual, but the Paladins didn't have the energy to question it. There were a lot of mixed emotions in the group and they were absolutely exhausted in every way that mattered. The comms were quiet. Each Paladin was lost in their thoughts, and their missing Paladin weighed heavily in their minds.

Suddenly, as they entered the Earth's athmosphere, the comms began to crackle.

"Earth to Voltron, do you copy?"

Every single one of the Paladins startled in their seat and their eyes widened in disbelief. They turned on their comms and cameras. They all looked at each other as if they had seen a ghost. Hunk was the first to break the silence.

"Was that...?"

"Earth to Voltron, do you copy?" the voice repeated and this time Keith yanked the radio out of its base as his heart felt like it was going to beat out of his chest.

"Lance?! Voltron to Earth, we copy. Lance, is that you?!" Keith yells into the receiver.

"Keith?! Oh my gosh, you're alive!" Lance exclaimed on the other side.

"What do you mean I'm alive? You're alive!" Keith retorted and he couldn't help the smile on his face or the tears in his eyes.

Just then they received a notification of an incoming live transmission that Pidge immediately accepted. A new screen popped up in front of them and there he was, alive and breathing, the one and only, Lance McClain.

On the screen, he laughed incredulously as he wiped at his eyes and said, "Hey guys, it's been a while."

What followed was chaos: everyone began talking at the same time, raising their voices to be heard above the others, and asked all sorts of questions wanting to know how Lance ended up on Earth, how he escaped the Galra, was he okay, he he seen their families, were they okay and the cockpit descended into pandemonium as Lance valiantly attempted to answer all of them.

Keith, however, was quietly taking in and just looking at his boyfriend after years of holoscreens and memories. Lance was no longer a lanky, awkward teen. He'd filled out: his shoulders broadened and, while still thin, he seemed to have gained a lot of muscle. His face had sharpened and Keith could see a bit of stubble on his chin and cheeks. He had a few new scars, too. He was also wearing a Garrison unifform, with a few medals in it.

"Keith?" Lance asked, and Keith realized he'd just missed most of the conversation. Keith smiled.

"Hey, sharpshooter," he replied. Lance sent him a flirty smirk in return.

"What? Did you miss me?"

"You have no idea," Keith answered and didn't care if he was being sappy in front of the Paladins and however many people were in the command center. Lance chucked wetly and his gaze softened.

"We're ready for you to land. Unfortunately, our hangars aren't anywhere near large enough for the lions, but there's an open field right outside. Crew members will be waiting for you in their vehicles to bring you to base. There are some people here who can't wait to see you guys!"

Keith raised an eyebrow. Lance looked, and sounded, so mature... so professional. It was hard to believe he was the same goofball he fell in love with.

"How come you're at the helm?" he asked. Lance smirked, but it was Pidge who answered.

"If you hadn't been so busy making oogly eyes at him, you would have heard that he's the head of the coalition. You know, the one we've hearing about," she snarked with a shit-eating grin on her face.

"Wait, for real?!" Keith exclaimed.

Lance gasped and grabbed his chest in a wounded gesture, "You heathen! Can you sound a little less surprised? Do you really have so little faith in me? You wound me!"

Someone out of shot of camera in the command center said something to Lance that the Paladins didn't manage to catch. Lance's reaction, though, was telling enough. He scoffed in mock offense and replied, "You take that back!"

Keith laughed. It was nice to see his Lance in this new, grown version of him. He asked, "How did that even happen?"

Lance scoffed again and rolled his eyes, "Again, it's a very long story and I don't want to clutter the frequency. You're welcome to come for dinner at mine's and I'll tell you all about it." Lance winked.

"Fine," Keith relented.

"Transmission over," Lance said and his screen disappeared. Only then did Keith pay attention to the looks of awe and joy in the rest of the Paladins. Hunk was even openly crying and babbling about how glad he was that Lance was okay. Keith felt the same.

It was as if a stone had been lifted off of his chest and now he could breathe! Liquid fire poured through his veins and, for the first time in a long while, he felt like he could battle a hundred cruiseships and win! Red purred in his mind, and Keith was transported back to the very first time he flew red, before the war and their losses had worn down his excitment and passion for flying a sentinent lion in space. He smirked.

"Race you," he said, and sped down towards the Earth at full speed. Red happily obliged.

"You cheat!" Pidge yelled and gave chess.

Hunk followed with an indignant, "Hey!"

Allura, Shiro and Coran laughed joyously and tried to catch up.

Keith didn't care all that much, to be honest. He had a very pressing reunion to get to, after all.

~~~

I hope you liked it! It's just a scene, and it doesn't encompass a lot of events but I wanted to focus on the characters. I'd like to explore other scenes, perhaps later, from Lance's POV on Earth or maybe Keith's POV when he first finds out Lance is missing until they exit the time dilation worm hole thingy.

Let me know what you think!✌🏼

Something that rlly irritates me about the vld fandom is everyone sees Lance as a shit pilot

Like yea he's obnoxious and tries to show off but that's the only reason he fails

Lance says him and Keith were neck a neck for best pilot

I mean we know that's not entirely true but it does mean Lance was the second best in that class which is why he was the one that moved up

The only reason he seems shit is cause he had to compete with Keith who is weirdly stupidly naturally gifted at it

No wonder he was angry with Keith to begin with

Everyone saw him as a shit pilot (maybe even himself) cuz he couldn't compete with someone who was better than most adults in the garrison when he was like 16

Also with Keith's "behaviour issues" it probably came off that Lance was trying harder than Keith

You know Red Bull is top

You know Ferrari is good

You know Mercedes is a bit great and bit shit

You know McLaren is quite good

You know the other cars are shitty most of the time

And then there is Aston Martin...

On a side we have Stroll, that can't even fight for points most of the time, he is not a bad pilot anyway, good skills, but he's not even that great, imho...

On the other side we have the goat Alonso, who is wonderful okay, fighting always for top 5 when it goes well, top 10 when it goes bad...

Anyway, he can defend a lot, makes everything he wants, qualifies high but at some point, when the top cars come behind him very hungry, he can just say "please come, surpass me, you're welcome, go on, I enjoyed until it lasted"

Aston Martin gives me many doubts because it's the only fucking car with two pilots really far between each others

But still, this year, it's the 5th car...

So, what's the true answer?

Aston Martin is a good car but Stroll sucks and Alonso is overrated?

Aston Martin sucks, Stroll just does the best he can with that and Alonso does miracles?

Aston Martin is an average car, Stroll is average too and Alonso is good but not great?

Tell me your opinion.

#I don't dislike Aston Martin #I like Stroll #I love Alonso #But I want more #Like the first half of last year #Or the last races #But clearly all the other top 4 cars are much better #And maybe all those pilots too #:( #Aston Martin #F1 2024 #chinese gp 2024 #shanghai gp 2024 #fernando alonso #lance stroll

naur seriously can we talk about how allura was even like 'the lions were made to be piloted by you and you alone'referring to the fact they are the only five people in the entire multiverse to have pure quintessence corresponding to the colors oftheir lions....

if one paladin is MIA then that lion should be inactive, benched. you dont simply play musical chairs with the lions. if it waa that easy then ANYONE could be the paladins at ANY time and theres no reason for the human paladins to be there at all especially if they dont want to be. but no the human paladins are NEEDED or else keith and allura would have no problem with pidge leaving in the first two episodes. nor would they mind if lance went home. but they DO mind. they PREVENT pidge from leaving and they make lance believe going back to earth isnt an option at all--that it isnt even on their iternary.

So no. i refuse to acknowledge the lion switching as canon.

#i feel like i should also bring up my headcanon that altean markings correlate to quintessence colors. #this is why lance has PURE blue meanwhile coran has teal. #coincidentally coran also embodies characteristics of the green and blue lion (loyal compassionate curious eccentric) #so allura having PINk markings? #she aint the blue paladin. #i know that theory falls apart quickly when you look at alfor--the red paladin who has blue markings #but still #it also makes zero sense to have the only person who can create a wormhole and PILOT THE ENTIRE CASTLESHIP be #in a lion fighting a battle that they could die in any second--therefore stranding everyone who needs the castleship to escape #allura being the blue paladin would-in reality- lead directly to the galra winning the war. #it only takes five seconds to put her and blue out of commission. simply fire an ion canon or two directly at her and then the other #paladins + coran are stranded and completely helpless. #after that it would be a piece of cake for the galra to capture every single lion and their paladins. #from that point they could go into the castleship and go through any + all information about rebels #the coalition and the blades of marmora. all because allura wanted to be RVEN MORE in the spotlight than she already is #the rntire war against the galra would be irreparably destroyed. the galra wpuld win flat out to the point #that no amount of rebellion would even make a dent in their power. #meanwhile if they simply just stayed in their proper lions and fought without shiro (with allura still manning the castle) #they would take lots of blows and it would be very hard-but at least they would win. #voltron #rant
