#Allura could do that one-handed lmao

[roseboysstuff]

idk how to do requests its my first time doing this but could you do Shiro from voltron legendary defender x ftm reader?

Spoilers if ya havent watched it!!

Ok so like yk where that one episode Shiro disappeared and came back after a year and he just immediately went to reader and just fucks him.... soft dom Shiro brainrot... can be a mix of fluff and smut also u can do this req anytime u want no pressure (i have bad memory so i'll eventually forget this LMAO and i lovelovelove how u write i THRIVE with it)

You don't have to worry about spoiling the series to me, I've watched it all over and over Little note about the show : I actually enjoyed it all, even season 8. The only think I don't like is allura x lance, and that Lotor was a bad guy. Allura and lotor should have got together, and lance and keith should have got together. I would also accept keith and shiro.

And thanks for the compliment! I'm glad you like how I write honestly most of it is word vomit so I'm glad others like it too

He had been through hell. Being kidnapped by the Galra had made him mentally exhausted. But most of all. He had missed you.

You. You were his everything. The thought of you had gotten him through his imprisonment. He had almost given in plenty of times. But the memory of your smile, the way you would say his name, and the idea of one day seeing you again, it all kept him going.

And when he managed to escape? All he could think about was you. The ride back to earth in that escape pod was harsh, and he was drifting in and out of consciousness. But he could have sworn he whispered your name throughout the whole trip.

When Keith and the gang rescued him, he begged them to take him back to you. Which they happily obliged.

The reunion was tearful, and he whispered your name over and over like a prayer, holding you tightly until you were just both crying on the floor, embraced.

"I missed you. So much. I'm here, sweetheart, I'm alive. I'm with you."

He kept apologising, and you almost couldn't believe it was real. Takashi Shirogane, your Shiro, was back. You'd been led to believe he was dead. All of the military and all your friends had told you to give up. You'd grieved and cried for months.

And now he was back. You didn't blame him, of course, and so you shut up his apologies with a kiss. You were desperate to feel his lips on yours again, to feel his warmth, to confirm that he was really alive and here with you. He eagerly reciprocated the kiss, wrapping his arms around your waist. He pulled away, about to apologise for the coldness of his new arm, but you just kissed him again.

It was cold, yes, but you didn't care. You wanted your arms around you, no matter what they were made of.

It didn't take long until you were heavily making out, drinking in the taste of each other. He held the back of your head with one hand, with the other sliding down to grasp at your hip. He was unwilling to let go. Neither were you.

He barely managed to pull away enough to pick you up and carry you to the bed, pulling you onto his lap. And it was straight back to kissing again, tearing off each other's clothes, lost in a hazy fog of need, want, love and lust.

There was no need for more foreplay than this. You were completely soaked, and he was hard as a rock. You were ready. Ready to feel his big cock stretching you out. Which it did.

Before he was kidnapped, you were a little more accomodating, considering you were used to taking his cock. But this time, as you sank down, you could feel every vein on his cock, as it stretched you out for the first time in nearly a year.

"Gods... you're so tight, baby boy. Am i hurting you? If I am, we can stop and-"

Well you were having none of that. You sank yourself fully down on his cock, causing you to whimper and him to throw his head back in pleasure, a chesty moan leaving his throat.

"Oh, wow. You're just as voracious as I remember. That's my good little prince, bounce on my cock. Please, baby boy."

How could you refuse such a humble request? Your hips instantly got moving, bouncing and grinding and gyrating. No particular rhythmn, just the desperate need to be together as one. And it was heaven. For both of you.

He was seeing the person who had gotten him through the worst times of his life, bouncing and moaning on his cock. Seeing your hair bounce, your eyes shut, and your mouth wide in a silent O shape. It only fueled his lust, and he started to thrust back.

The rhythmn of your bodies meeting only got less steady as you both got close, and you found yourself clutching onto him for dear life. He was doing the same. Your bodies were impossibly close, not even an atom of space between you, as you both climaxed, crying out the other's name. His hot seed filled your cunt up, and your cunt in turn clenched and milked his cock. it was ecstacy.

As you came down from your orgasms, neither of you let go. How could you? You had both spent the past year begging the universe to give you one more chance, you weren't going to let go.

He kissed your neck and face, a big grin on his face.

"I missed you, missed this. Oh, baby boy, you have no idea."

Submission message: howdy, would like to submit keith and lance from voltron (lmao)

Submission message: BBC Sherlock and Moriarty / BBC Sherlock and John Watson

Additional propaganda: Now Keith and Lance on the other hand was a whole fucking mess that they then shoehorned in an hetero romance to try and "fix it" but by lord it was bad, everything about voltron is so fucking bad

Anyway this is my Klance propaganda : They were actually bait

Klance's queer baiting by the team was the worst!! We had to deal with NETFLIX ALSO GETTING IN ON THE QUEER BAITING!! If you searched up Kkance during the times for season 6-8, the SHOW WOULD POP UP. The directors would make jokes about it being canon, even Lance's VA got in the joke!

Their queer baiting was the worst for anyone who was even looking for an ounce of queer rep in that show. The only queer rep we got was a man who died after not even 5 minutes on screen, and shoehorned in the credit scene of a gay wedding of a character that was neither Keith nor Lance.

I do not know Agatha and Sophie, so I can't argue that klance was bigger bait or not, I just know voltron was mean lmao. the creators said stuff like "lance will be someone's first choice!" (meaning NOT ending up in a relationship with allura bc she very much chose another guy over him) and heavily implying he would be Keith's 1st choice (or a guy in general bc of point number 2). point number 2: they also released official art showing how super cool and diverse the main cast was! race! gender! LGBT - they had shiro (who was......canon gay but that's a whole other can of worms) and lance hold the sign with LGBT on it and then did absolutely nothing with that w lance at all (he hit on allura, so obvi he's not gay, but at least bi or smt) (UNLESS you count the scenes where he's flirty with keith). I just remember going into the last few seasons being like "klance probably won't be happen be honest with yourself there's like no queer kids shows!! but damn like it so could tho!!! because of how much it's been teased both in the show and by showrunners like I can't have no hope with the way the producers talk about it!" lmao I should have had no hope, but i genuinkey believed there was a possibility it could happen. and actually I discovered after the fact that i think one of the writers for the show who was the main advocate for klance (they had a lot of diff writers for eps, which led to lots of character butchering but ANYWAY) left not terribly long into the show I believe bc he didn't like the direction it was moving in and didn't want to be tied to the show anymore. so it's not like fans just made klance up either - it was written into earlier episodes with the hope and plan to continue developing later, and then just nothing ever happened with it besides INTENSE teasing it to keep queer fans around. esp after shiro's relationship was literally only a flashback and then his fiance thing or whatever got blown up before we even got to watch him interact w shiro as we knew him in present time in s7, so I think they kept being like hmmm klance and the stuff about lance being a first choice before s8 to keep ppl around. also esp bc klancers made up such a big portion of the fan base. then they made a horrible szn and ended it w a flashforward to shiro marrying some random background character who maybe had 1 line? I just remember hitting the flashforward and being like uhhhh who is this dude??? but they did that to hit those diversity points wow first gay marriage in a cartoon or smt idk it doesn't count to me really. so anyway voltron in general is queerbait lol but klance is because it started out as a legit possibility and then they said sike! but only maybe sike bc u guys are mad at us burying our guys in s7 so maybe klance could still happen haha okay now we're serious no it's not happening. anyway I think klance is p bad queerbait and a vote for them is a valid vote, not just u liking the ship.

#im sorry but johnlock is a household name in ther queerbait trenches

I don't know much about blaze runner, but this website made me endure Johnlock FOR YEARS, that ship makes me so fucking angry, and it's so much bait, the whole fucking show is just 4 kinds of bait in a trenchcoat trying to pass as something good, and Tumblr(and the rest of the goddamn world) ate it up like a five course meal. So anyway that's why I'm voting Johnlock

[scattered-winter]

Say, what are some characters you feel like had a metric ton of potential that was completely scrapped by the writers?

i feel like it would be cheating if i said all of them so. ill try and be more specific lmao <3 i was gonna show restraint and only do a few but FUCK IT you're getting the entire essay

coran. i know he's meant to be the Comic Relief character but idk. its possible to have a comic relief character who also has gravity and emotion, ykw ??? like idk i feel like all the show/fandom ever talks about is how allura lost everything (which is TRUE. SHE DID. IM NOT TRYING TO MINIMIZE THAT AT ALL.) but idk. allura was young enough that she probably didn't really have an established life on altea yet but coran??? he was an adult. fully grown, probably had friends or coworkers, even a partner and family. idk idk he lost as much as if not more than allura did and the writers barely ever acknowledged it. he isn't allowed to connect with any of the characters or have any actual genuine moments because he's supposed to be The Funny One. idk if the writing actually aknowledged his grief and trauma more, but still made him so lighthearted and goofy, that would be FASCINATING. HE STILL HAS HOPE. HE CAN STILL LAUGH. ET CETERA. but noooo he's just Silly with nothing deeper to it. sigh

in that same vein, hunk. again, he's often comic relief (and that comic relief is usually a fat joke

lotor. ik a lot of ppl have mixed opinions on the guy (fair) but like. he had SO much potential to be so many different things but i think the writers just. had too many things they wanted him to be. so his writing was all over the place because they couldn't make up their minds

haggar......again. i had SUCH a hard time pinning down any of her motives or characterization when she was the Main Villain (which to be fair might have been due to the fact that i was Mentally Checked The Fuck Out by the time s7/s8 rolled around) but like ??? i still have no idea what she was trying to do as the main villain in s7/8. she was such a menacing villain in the first few seasons but then the writing got soo confusing and needlessly complicated and i completely lost interest in anything about her character

shiro. the fact that he went through So Much but still gave the blade of marmora enough hope to risk everything to rescue him and kickstart the events of s1 ??? the fact that he Continued to go through So Much but was still a rock for the team and was still goofy and fun and dorky and lovable ?????? and ALL THAT to not even be in the show for the next 5 or so seasons and then be permanently sidelined when he DOES come back. what the fuck. like they tried to have an atlas metaphor later on to try and bring him back into the narrative but it was MEANINGLESS. sooo much wasted potential. a narrative about healing....finding love + family + connection......ending the war that has caused so much pain for Him Personally......man. we could have had it ALL

keith. i legiterally don't even recognize keith after s3 like !!! who is this man !!!!! he had abandonment + anger issues from being alone his Whole Life and instead of finding a close-knit family in space, he was isolated again and again and again, and shoved into a role he didn't want and wasn't meant for, and by the end bro was UNRECOGNIZABLE. in theory i LOVE the concept of keith learning to rely on his team more and take more of a leadership role as he grows as a person + teammate, but they had the PERFECT opportunity to do that already with keith being red paladin!!!!!!!! the red paladin is voltron's right hand!!!!!!! if the black isn't there, then red steps up to take charge!!!!!! idk. it would have been so so so so cool if shiro was only missing Temporarily and keith had to work through his own grief/fear/etc and take up the mantle of red paladin to keep the team together just long enough until shiro got back because he would NOT want that shit long-term. idk. i know keith literally got most of the storylines and arcs in the show but i still think he had wasted potential because most of those arcs fundamentally misunderstood him as a character and turned him into something he wasn't. idk

allura. she lost her ENTIRE FAMILY her ENTIRE CULTURE her ENTIRE SPECIES and it doesn't stop there lol !!!! over the course of the show she lost LITERALLY EVERYTHING. the castle of lions (the last remnant of her home), her tiara thingie (last thing she had left of her family), AND her life. what the fuuuck what the fuck. EVEN WITH the other alteans w romelle's group, allura still got discarded. like idk. she grieved her whole people and tried so hard to lead this resistance and then after she's grown so much and become a powerful leader and warrior she becomes queen of new altea. that would have been SO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

matt. he was alone in space for YEARS. like its unclear how long it was between shiro saving him from the arena and pidge finally finding him, but it was at LEAST a year, probably longer. he was a prisoner for most of that time, separated from the only two people he knew, and likely thinking they're both dead. no way to be rescued. no way to escape. and THEN when he IS rescued by the rebels, he's alone still because he's the only human!!! none of them can speak his language!!! he can't go home!!!! and ofc he fights the galra as part of the resistance and is this badass rebel leader but the show doesn't shed ANY light on how he got there. how he turned from nerdy little scientist to badass rebel leader in a space war. and just. idk. there was barely ANY matt screentime and there was so much wasted potential there

and i could keep going. i could have an essay for every single character. but alas i am sooo fucking sleepy so i must cap it here </3

[romaritimeharbor]

.......... dad!lotor.........? 👀

FAWN. FAWN.

THIS IS SO FUCKIGN REAL FAWN......... i've heard this song a few times but haven't heard it RECENTLY so i never really thought about making that connection but that is so real, it's actually dad!lotor real and true <3

sighhhh i think it's time i make a playlist for the imaginary dad!lotor series.......... AND BTW I FORGOT TO TELL YOU ON DISCORD WHAT I WAS THINKING ABOUT SO!!!! HERE ARE THE THOUGHTS!!!

i've been thinking about lotor's encounter with the paladins where they just... keep him hostage. he really said "i think it's time we had a talk" and they proceeded to put him in a jail cell wtf!!!!! that was NOT a talk!!!!! /lh

anyways, i've been thinking about the hostage exchange between zarkon and the paladins--lotor for pidge's dad. when they're discussing it before it happens, i feel that pidge and lotor's kid would butt heads very severely. it's no question that they would be there with him. he's declared an enemy of the state and, by association, they are as well, regardless of whether zarkon actually knows about them or not. i think the paladins would discuss keeping them around for information's sake (and lotor would actually agree with this; he wouldn't want zarkon to get his hands on them for any reason), but they would be so intensely against it.

like "you do not get to take your father back at the cost of separating me from mine, that isn't fair" kind of thing. "you do not get to talk about us as if we are just bargaining chips. we are living and deserve as much respect as you do. you do not get to judge us based on the actions of others" also. yeah. just very raw, visceral emotions. and furthermore they KNOWWWW that zarkon isn't just going to hand over her dad, like???? it's so obvious to them but of course they aren't listened to.

and they're just completely inconsolable about it, about that whole situation!!! like!!!! pidge should know what this desperation feels like, allura should know what this desperation feels like, right? but instead they are realizing how few favors having galra blood does for them and now they kind of get why lotor clutches onto his altean heritage.

(pidge DOES get the desperation, but that's the problem--both of these poor children are failing to think clearly because of that desperation, which is rooted in the same place, and it is leading to them spitting nasty insults towards one another, digging into places that should not be dug into. "this is so typical of the galra 😒" "shut up that's why your dad got kidnapped 🙄" now i think they could probably be friends actually but that would happen way later on LMAO)

*head in hands*

[obwjam]

Here is the second (or first) whatever you see first. Here’s some background: Allura Enigma is a co worker of Mr Electricidad (who have a crush on each other) so imma make his first name George like George Lopez cause it’s never mentioned LMAO She’s Max’s favorite teacher and her alter ego is Atomina on Planet Drool. This was kinda based off the concept of Marissa and her ice necklace which gives her powers irl so 🤷🏻‍♀️

anyways please appreciate my second offering to make up for your call out post. Hope you enjoy it cause it took me a bit to think about. 🫴🏻🫴🏻🫴🏻

---

The skies over Earth darkened as a sinister presence descended from the heavens. It was Mr. Electric, the menacing villain from Planet Drool, sent to confront Max and the other students. With crackling bolts of electricity surrounding him, he advanced menacingly.

Max knew they needed all the help they could get. He reached into his pocket and pulled out the Mystical Locket, an object of unknown origin he had discovered on his previous adventure in Planet Drool, it belonged to Atomina. Ms. Allura Enigma, his favorite teacher who had also been to Planet Drool in his dreams, recognized the locket immediately.

"Ms. Enigma," Max said urgently, "this locket has the power to change size in Planet Drool. Maybe it can help us here too. I think it belongs to you."

Ms. Enigma took the locket, her eyes filled with wonder and determination. She clutched it tightly, recalling her own dreams of Planet Drool as Atomina. "Thank you, Max. I'll do my best."

As the battle raged on, the giant robot Mr. Electric, powered by the villain's malevolence, loomed over the students. It unleashed devastating electrical attacks that threatened to harm everyone.

Ms. Enigma stepped forward, summoning her newfound size-shifting abilities. She created a colossal force field to protect her students from the menacing onslaught. The electric bolts crackled against her midnight blue energy barrier, but she held it firm.

"Everyone, stay behind me!" she shouted, her voice resolute as she shielded her students.

Max watched Ms. Enigma in awe, amazed by her newfound powers and her determination to protect them.

However, just as she was about to lower the force field, Mr. Electric, cunning as ever, redirected his electrical assault, focusing it on Ms. Enigma's barrier until it reached its limit, shattering it. With a sinister grin, he released an overwhelming surge of electricity.

The force of the shock fried Ms. Enigma's outfit, leaving her vulnerable. In an instant, she shrank down to a mere three inches tall, standing defenseless in front of the menacing villain. Her heart pounded, and terror washed over her as she realized the dire situation.

"Help!" she cried out, her voice trembling with fear.

In that perilous moment, Mr. Electricidad, Max's teacher and Allura’s friend, sprang into action. Without hesitation, he scooped up the tiny, trembling Allura, holding her carefully in his palm.

Ms. Enigma's body trembled tremendously as she clung to Mr. Electricidad's thumb. Her fear was palpable, and her eyes were wide with panic. The once-confident teacher was now reduced to a mere fraction of her size, feeling utterly helpless.

Mr. Electricidad, filled with concern, carefully cradled her to his chest, creating a secure haven for her against the chaos outside. He could feel her trembling form pressed against him, and he understood the depth of her fear.

"It's going to be alright, Allura," he reassured her, his voice soothing and gentle. He cradled her close, his heartbeat a comforting rhythm against her miniature form. "You're safe now. I won't let anything happen to you."

Ms. Enigma, though still shaking, found solace in the warmth of his chest. She reached out, her tiny hand grasping one of his fingers, seeking reassurance in his touch. Mr. Electricidad allowed her to hold onto his finger, understanding that this simple gesture provided her with a sense of security amidst the chaos. “Th….thanks George.”

As they remained huddled together in the safety of the classroom, the battle outside continued, but within the confines of their bond, Ms. Enigma's trembling gradually subsided as they watched Marissa destroy him with her ice powers.

ENJOY

so incredible LOL

[yonemurishiroku]

need to know more about your thoughts of voltron. what do u ship. what season are you at (please dont watch past s3/4). are you a keith girl i hope youre a keith girl you’d better a keith kinda guy because theres no way in hell youre a nico girl without being a keith guy they are my two sons my two babies my most beloved the only boys in the world ever they are the same they are so beautiful they are so special the end

I just want you to know that reading this ask absolutely delights me LOL I can see your love for Keith clearly like the sun in a summer noon.

Anyway, to answer your questions, I'm currently in S6, moving to S7 with the slowest wifi ever (dammit). You say I shouldn't watch past S3/4 but actually? I only see things really spicing up when I've gone through like half the series. That is to say: I had to drag myself through s1 & s2 LMAO. When I first started this show, everything was just... weird. So, so weird - the robot, the characterization, the plot and how it's told. It still is! I suppose the American cartoon does differ considerably from the Japanese mangas I usually read (even when VLD is actually inspired by a Japanese series---). I had to struggle for quite a bit to accommodate.

But I dragged myself through it, successfully solely because of Keith. Oh thank god for Keith. And yes, I'm 100% a Keith girl. I don't even need to finish the series to know that. Well like a Keith parent but we'll talk ab that later.

I started this series when I saw a quote of him, when he and Pidge argued, ya know? "You're putting the lives of two people over the lives of everyone else in the universe!" or something along that line. And I've known, from that single moment, he would have my heart in his hand. I'm also aware that people usually compare Keith and Nico, and that's actually the number 1 reason I came to know Voltron LOL many thanks to the crossovers.

Still, nothing could have prepared me for the incredibility that is... Keith. He is... magnificent, I'd say. His voice (dammit his voice---), his character design (the cropped jacket please I'm on my knees---And why does Keith have so many stunning shots????? What r u trying to tell me, staff??), his personality---- Somehow, they are all on point - unlike the others'.

Now, I'm not saying the others are bad. I'm saying that there are so many things to explore about them - I do think Lance has many potentials actually - but somehow, only Keith, Pidge (and maybe Shiro, it's hard to tell) give me the mere sense of fulfillment and contentment upon watching. Pidge - bc damn that girl is incredible, Keith - bc his character arcs are beautiful. Lotor is a freaking rollercoaster and I enjoy that ride. I do not talk about Allura, though she is built quite well. And Hunk is just... there, I do like him tho. Maybe it's the storytelling style that gets me bewildered like half the time. I'm trying. I admit I sometimes find their building... inadequate, to say the least.

I have many things to say about Keith, but let's leave it until I'm ready lolol.

About the shipping thingies, I have to admit Sheith is currently strangling me LMAO. The appeal is clear as day. However, I intend to start indulging in the shipping only when I've finished watching, and maybe after a few days of ruminating on it. There're many potentials! I don't like limiting myself to one ship, which I tend to do without firsthand exploration, when there's so much to enjoy. That is to say: I'm open for everything! LOL Hit me with everything you've got and we'll see if I can join your crew, sailing towards the horizon together.

All in all, I'm having a great time! And probably love Keith more than I should. Can't wait to ramble about it with you, buddy.

[lilflowerpot]

Wait I saw an old post where you talked about alteans ability to shapeshift and said that they were both strong and heavy. Which makes perfect sense with the rubber band thing. Which is my long lead up to that one episode where keith and allura run away for a bit but not before she literally drops into his arms and he doesnt seem struggling in the slightest. Sooo how strong is Keith?? Is there maybe a possibility of him being able to carry lotor as well??

((it’s another v. long post my loves))

So I had fun with this one! But getting precise values was not an easy task (owing to genetic factors, diet, exercise regime, and individual differences on such a broad scale), so consider my numbers a rough estimate at best.

Allura is (according to my height chart) approximately 5'7" / 170cm, and of a slim but reasonably athletic build, the latter of which is presumably owed to her having been been trained in altean martial arts since childhood. In terms of age, I previously put her at around 21% of the way through her natural life span, which in human terms would make her ~17 years old. Now, using this WHO growth chart we can give ourselves a rough estimate of her weight on the basis of her height if she were human: 170cm at 17 years old places her at just about the 85th percentile, which if directly translated to weight, would means she weighs approximately 66kg / 10st 6lb.

But Allura is, of course, not human.

The above image is from s01ep10, wherein Allura showcases her metamorphic abilities: in this scene she is, by my estimate, approximately 7 inches taller than Shiro, who himself (as per my height chart) is 6′2″,,,, meaning that in this moment Allura stands at a whopping 6′9″. Why is this important, you ask? Because, my darlings, even after redistributing her mass into a larger and therefore less-dense state, Allura is still able to yeet Shiro by the collar of his armour a good 20ft across the landing bay later this same episode, meaning she’s strong as hell.

Now the really fun thing about weight, is that it changes depending upon the gravitational field strength exerted upon it, which is supremely unhelpful when the narrative is set in outer space, and said gravitational field strength can vary wildly depending where in the universe we are... so what we really need to begin with is Shiro’s mass, but let’s start with his weight.

If you want specifics, Shiro is extremely physically fit, and we’re talking damn-near the pinnacle of health here. He’s a fully trained astronaut for one (the human body needs to be of a certain level of health to withstand the duress of space travel), and for another his time as an Imperial gladiator was one of intensive physical training (after which he’s ripped, so galra prison slop must be high in nutrients so as to keep their gladiator fights entertaining). For the numbers, I looked into wrestlers - the most comparable sport, and therefore musculature, with the most widely available figures - and compiled a list of all 56 of the same height as Shiro, finding their weights to range between 169-332lbs. The mean average landed at ~248lbs / 17st 10lbs, which I think is a fair enough assumption for Shiro’s build - particularly when you consider he has a metal arm - as his physique matches up pretty comparably against the wrestlers Gunner (6′2″ / 247lbs) and Big Vito (6′2″ / 249lbs).

Jumping from weight to gravity, in the very first post ever to grace this blog I mentioned both that Daibazaal was larger than Altea, and that a single Imperial quintent (ie. one planetary rotation) equated to approximately 1.4 Altean quintents. These facts are important because the strength of a planet’s gravity is dictated by its size and mass, but in addition to this, how quickly a planet spins serves to reduce the gravitational pull experienced by an object placed on the surface of that planet (centrifugal force). Altea spins slightly faster than Daibazaal, so its centrifugal force is slightly greater, meaning that its gravity is a little weaker. In addition, Altea is smaller than Daibazaal, meaning that its mass is less, and so - again - its gravity is weaker. Earth, on the other hand, is closer to Altea in terms of size (lower gravitational field strength), but rotates on its axis only fractionally slower than Daibazaal once did (higher gravitational field strength), ergo our gravity lands firmly somewhere between the two (at 9.80665m/s²). We know the difference in gravitational field strength can’t be too dramatic either way, because the paladins do not float off into the aether when on the Castle of Lions, nor do they end up crushed under their own weight when on Imperial vessels; this matters because we can safely assume that the artificial gravity on all ships would have been configured to match their respective homeworlds, and so the gravity in which Allura threw Shiro was greater than that which she’s used to.

So to clarify: Altea had a lower gravitational field strength than Earth, and Earth lower than Daibazaal, but none of these values can differ too drastically because the paladins do not notably react to these differing gravitational environments. For simplicity’s sake, I’m going to declare that Altea’s gravitational field strength stood at 9m/s², while Daibazaal’s was closer to 11 m/s².

Now while on Earth, mass and weight mean functionally the same thing to us, so if Shiro weighs 248lbs, then this is also his mass. This, however, is no longer true when we change our planetary location, because the gravitational field strength is different (ie. when Allura yeets Shiro across a galra landing bay, she is contending with galra gravity). Using this handy dandy calculator for all my mathematical needs, I discovered that in the aforementioned s01ep10, Shiro’s weight in galra gravity is increased to 278lbs, or 19st 12lbs! Meaning that Allura, even in a form of reduced strength, tossed almost 20st like it was nothing!! For comparison, and also the joy of the mental image, that’s an over indulgent panda.

Taking all this into consideration, I’d say that alteans as a species have a strength comparable to that of silverback gorillas, who themselves have a muscle mass density four times higher than that of a heavily muscled human, and as such have equally densely calcified bones so as to withstand their own strength: all in all, healthy adult silverbacks (weighing between 300-400lbs) are thought to be capable of lifting as much as ten times their own body weight, meaning the strongest among them can possibly dead-lift up to 1814kg / 4000lbs... As I said originally, Allura is physically fit, but she’s hardly an altean bodybuilder, and still a teenager besides. For her to have so easily thrown Shiro so far, however, I’d have to say that he (in galra gravity) weighs perhaps an eighth of what she’s capable of lifting when in her “galra” form (a whopping 2224lbs total!!) and so she herself weighs a tenth of that: 222lbs, or 15st 12lbs.

So with Allura’s weight in galra gravity, and galra gravity itself, we can once again use the calculator linked above to learn that her mass is 198lbs; this does not change irrespective of how she uses her altean abilities. Her mass is absolute. But to  f i n a l l y  answer your question: in altean gravity - and, importantly, when Keith held her in his arms without breaking a sweat - Allura weighed approximately 182lbs, or 13st on the dot.

The best guess I can give you in regard to Lotor, would be found by taking Allura’s mass (198lbs) and multiplying it by the percentage increase (+24%) between her height (5′7″) and Lotor’s (6′11″), giving us a mass of ~246lbs... almost identical to Shiro, though with much more of a basketball player’s physique (Giannis Antetokounmpo is a reasonably good comparison). Like I said, this is a rough estimate at best because just scaling Allura’s mass up doesn’t account for the fact that Lotor is of a different physical build, nor that he’s only half altean, but I’m going to say that those two things roughly cancel each other out—ie. Lotor’s fully grown and more obviously muscled, increasing his mass, but he’s not fully altean, decreasing it—so it’s a ballpark figure.

Tldr; for Keith to not so much as fumble when a wholeass woman dropped into his arms is pretty indicative of good core and upper-body strength, yes! He likely would be able to lift Lotor,,, though not quite so effortlessly as he held Allura, because in altean gravity our favourite purple prince weighs a solid 226lbs, or 16st 2lbs.

Chapter 15: “When I was a man I thought it ended, when I knew love's perfect ache...” (Arsonist's Lullabye)

Warning: swearing, angst, sexual tension (We've arrived pals! Don't worry, it's not smut) enemies to lovers, voltron-level violence (aka not bad)

Word Count: 5,165

Author's Note: Hi friends! Here we are, Chapter 15!!! This is the longest series I've ever made! I'm pretty proud of myself for sticking with it. I'm not the best writer, but I do enjoy writing. Hopefully you guys enjoy it too! :) Tbh, I only started writing because I wanted to make fanfics for specific scenarios I had in mind. It's half self-indulging, half me being creative and obsessed with fictional characters to the point where I create scenarios that I feel the need to publish for the entire world to see. Luckily, nobody irl has discovered me yet and I hope to keep it that way. Anyway, I'll let you read now lmao.😚

Y/N's POV

        “I suppose that's a good idea. If we're lucky we might not even remember it.”

    “Right. Should we go to your room? Everyone's asleep, but it just feels weird to be out in the open like this.” Keith admits, looking down at his slippers. They're just like everyone else's; plush robotic lion heads in the paladin's respective color.

        “I was actually thinking yours, since I'm not sure if Allura is going to check on me again. Plus, you have a mission tomorrow so nobody is going to bother you if they think you're asleep.” I suggested, beginning to walk in that direction. Keith caught up almost immediately, taking steps in time with mine as he stood on my left.

   Of course I was nervous; how could I not be? I was about to act out a pheromone-induced fantasy with the one person I have a tumultuous relationship with. I could feel the butterflies in my stomach begin to flutter, the nunvil not doing nearly enough to keep my nerves down. Soon enough, we were stood in front of the door to Keith's room. He placed his hand on the scanner, and we waited for the doors to slide open with a whoosh.

    “Should we look over what that page in your book said one more time? You know, just to make sure we don't miss anything. It would help ensure we get it right the first time.” The red paladin spoke up after a period of silence. I reached into my pocket, retrieving the tiny novel I'd just recently become reunited with. I held it out, showing Keith I had it with me.

        “Looks like we're on the same page... eh?” I joked, giving a small chuckle. I mentally whacked myself with a bat for making a stupid joke, but I couldn't help myself. At least I wasn't sober; then it really would've been embarrassing.

    “I am this close to making your dream of getting thrown out of the airlock come true.” Keith deadpanned, a the ends of his lips slowly curving upwards after a couple seconds.

   This was maybe the second time I'd seen this guy smile, and let me tell you; it doesn't get old. I liked being able to make him smile, especially since he wasn't known to do so. It made me feel special, and I obviously made him happy enough to not care what his face was doing. I wondered if Keith was aware of the pleasant look painted on his lips.

        "Speaking of dreams..." I flipped to the bookmarked spot with the dream interpretation I'd talked to him about the other day, skimming the sentences in front of me. I watched as he looked over the words on the page, silently mouthing the words as he read.

    “Okay, so we've already addressed the issues we had with each other. What do we do now? There's nothing about how to fix the issues.” Keith scratched his head, a hiccup escaping him. The little sound he made was so adorable that I started giggling, my drunkenness making everything funnier than it really was.

        “S-sorry Keith,” I paused to laugh, trying to regain my composure and taking a deep breath. “That was just too cute. Who would've thought a tough guy like you would make such an adorable noise?” I managed to rein in my laughter, looking to Keith with an apologetic smile.

    “S’okay,” His words slurred a little bit, the effects of the nunvil were still active. “It was pretty funny.” He cracked yet another smile, with teeth this time. They were only visible for a split second before his lips reconnected, his grin dwindling into a peaceful expression. I reciprocated, giving a soft smile of my own. We basked in the glow of his bedside lamp for a short while before I came to my senses.

        "Oh, right, back to this. I'm not entirely sure what to do. Should we just go for it?" I asked, looking to Keith for approval.

    "I guess so," he shrugged. "First, I think we both need a good luck charm." He opened the drawer of his nightstand, grabbing what appeared to be a small bottle of nunvil. 

        "Where'd you get that?"

    "Apparently, they don't check IDs at the Space Mall." He smirked, briefly disappearing into his bathroom before emerging with two little cups. He poured half of the nunvil in one cup, handing it to me, the rest going into the other cup.

   He held out his cup to say cheers, and I repeated the action. After we knocked our shots back, I felt the burn of it travel down my throat and into my chest. I already felt much more at ease, the strong alcoholic-adjacent concoction working its magic within an instant.

   Once we were finished, he took the cup from me, putting it down on the nightstand along with his. Quickly grabbing my hand, he led me to his door.

   ‘Right, the dream starts out with me coming to his room to talk.’ I thought to myself. Keith closed the door and I took some deep breaths, mentally preparing myself. I knocked gently, but still loud enough for Keith to hear. The whirring noise filled my ears as the panels slid to reveal the room I'd been in just seconds ago.

        “Keith, we need to talk.” I thought back to my dream, grateful that I'd written it down just in case. It was so vivid to the point where I woke up thinking it was real. That made it a lot easier to remember what happened and what was said.

    “Yeah, I know. Is that why you're here?” I watch his toned arm fall from its perch on the doorframe, the muscles contracting. He turns, his back facing me as he leads us further into his room.

        “It is. Am I allowed to sit or is that reserved for people you respect?” I asked, using the same sickeningly sweet yet sinister tone, just as I'd done in the dream. Keith scoffed—he seemed to have remembered the details just as clearly as I did.

    “I'd rather ask you to leave, but I'm not some sort of monster, McClain. Just sit somewhere and let's get this over with, alright?” He huffs, following me as I mimic the scene playing in my head. He sets himself down beside me shortly after I've sat down on the end of his bed, my hands in my lap as I look around the room in the awkward silence.

        “Obviously, we need to talk about the problem you have with me.” I state, looking over at Keith. He's fidgeting, picking at the skin around his nails. 

    “I'm the one with a problem? How about you, with your high and mighty attitude and constant need to start a fight? I'm pretty sure that's the problem here—you're the problem here.”

        “Oh, is that how you see it? Well, I'd be happy to give you another problem, Red.” I say, shooting a fiery glare in his direction.

    “You always do.” Keith looks over at me as I rise abruptly to my feet, swiftly heading towards the door.

        “Whatever, I'm not doing this. Just keep being a fucking jerk, I don't care anymore. I can't do this.” I shout angrily at him, thankful the castle's rooms are semi-soundproof.

   Before I reach the motion sensor, I'm tugged backwards by a strong grip on my wrist. The movement turns me 180 degrees, crash landing into my enemy's grasp, feeling his hands as they clutched my shoulders. I couldn't help but wonder what was going through Keith's mind as we played out this scene.

   I feel just as I did in the dream; a perfect mixture of practically every emotion. I felt nervous, vulnerable, even a bit angry as I became further immersed in the dream scenario. I awkwardly backed away, trying to create some distance between the red paladin and I, only to find myself locked in place by the strong arm that found its way around my back.

    “Wouldn't I just be more of a jerk if I let you storm out of here? You're angrier now than you were when you knocked on my door.” Keith was doing really well, as if he was used to acting out moments like this. To be fair, we've had plenty of practice with all of our real-life arguments like this one.

        “Why do you care? It's not like you can do anything to fix it anyway.”

   I looked up into his indigo eyes, noticing the way the lighter shades transitioned like splashes of water into the cool, darker shade that took up a majority of his irises. I had never looked at Keith this way before. How did my mind know exactly how I felt? This wasn't part of the dream, not even remotely! I was frozen, too overwhelmed to voice my concern.

   Keith's eyes flickered down to my hands, which had subconsciously moved to the front of his shirt, clutching at the soft fabric. I noticed how his pupils dilated—he knew something was off too, but we knew neither of us were in the right state of mind to do anything about it.

    “Maybe we're not supposed to fix anything,” His voice is soft, but it crashes into me like a wave from the ocean that lies within his eyes. A gentle wave, one that holds me tender yet allows me to float freely. “I think... I think we're supposed to move along and follow wherever the universe decides to take us.” We're drunk, that's all it is. We're just drunk, acting out a dream we both had, taking a few creative liberties as we go along.

        “Keith...” I start, but I'm left with nothing to say. All that swirls in my mind is a single thought, repeating itself over and over, alternating between shouts and whispers. I couldn't make out the words, but it gave me reassurance; that everything would be just fine.

  “Please let me kiss you.” He whispers gently, leaning closer. I do nothing to stop him; I find myself moving closer, meeting him in the middle. The space between us is small, but still felt too far.

        “Please...”

   That's all it took for Keith to hold my face in his hands, bringing us as close as we could be to one another. Our lips were touching, moving, and it just felt right. I could feel my heart pounding, my fingers twisting the neckline of his shirt that I'd been clinging onto; anything to keep him here with me. This was something I'd never experienced before, and I already craved it. We held each other tighter, almost afraid of what would happen if we broke apart too soon. Something about this moment felt so utterly right; the strength of our passion outlasted the fragile passing of time.

   Memories of every interaction we'd had flashed through my mind at lightning speed. It only slowed during the good parts, even parts I didn't associate meaning to. I could feel the wind, the sun, the ocean, the grass under my feet. Images of my home, under a blue sky with raindrops dripping off the overhang. A wooden door with two openings. The yellow swing my father used to push me on as a child. It went by in a split second, and yet I saw it all. Every detail made sense.

   I could feel the warmth leaving my body as we disconnected, needing a moment to steady our breathing. There were a million questions and worries scattered about my brain, but the afterglow of our kiss kept them quiet for the time being. It was safe here. I was safe with Keith. All I felt was warmth—pleasant and rejuvenating like sunshine, fervent and insatiable like a fire. I knew both would burn brightly until my final breath.

I thought I would panic in a situation like this. Why wasn't I panicking?

   ‘Because it's him,’ I thought to myself. ‘It's just you and him. Here. Together. Holding each other tight, your lips are brushing against his.’ And it felt right. I couldn't even finish all the questions I had in my head. It was as though Keith's lips held the remedy to my worries.

  The sound of his breathing was surely an antidote for the lustful. Pulling away from his embrace was necessary to breathe, but the pure, spellbinding air between us made it hard to let go.

—

  I fastened the belt of my suit around my waist, checking in the mirror one last time before leaving my room. Shiro asked me to report to the command center, before he and Keith departed for the Blade of Marmora headquarters. I took a deep breath before entering through the automatic doors, my eyes adjusting to the lighting in the room.

  “Y/N, there you are. How are you feeling today?” Shiro asked, his tone a bit more chipper than usual. I scratched behind my left ear with my index finger awkwardly.

        “Truthfully, I've been better. Was there something you needed me for?”

  “Actually, yes. I know you drank last night, but the Blade of Marmora just contacted us and requested we bring you to the base.” The black paladin addressed me sincerely, putting a hand on my shoulder.

        “Hold on a tick—me?” Shiro nodded. “How do they know about me?” I was confused. I'd never heard of the Blade of Marmora until the other day. How could they know who I am, and what did they want from me?

  “I'm not sure, but they asked for you by name. I would never make you do anything you're uncomfortable with, so you can totally say no, but in order to get the information we need from the Galra, you'd have to come with Keith and I.”

  I took a moment to weigh my options. I could either deny the Galra's request and screw up Voltron's chances of getting vital intel on Zarkon, or I can go on a highly awkward road trip with Keith and Shiro and potentially put myself in danger by meeting Galra spies...

        “And they didn't provide any explanation as to why I was summoned?”

  Shiro shook his head. How was I supposed to come to a rational conclusion when both choices seemed like a dead end?

        “Fuck it, I'll go. Voltron's objective is much bigger than any individual. Besides, what could the Galra need from someone like me?”

  “Thank you. I know this is a tough situation to be in, but you won't be alone.”

  I felt better after hearing Shiro's words. I knew I'd be safe with the paladins.

        “Thanks, Shiro. And don't worry, I'll be careful.” I reassured the resident older brother figure.

    “My offer still stands, number one!” Coran piped up, sure to make his point with a raised index finger. Shiro and I turned to look at the eccentric Altean. “I have all different types of costumes and wigs if need be!” I looked back over at Shiro, whose eyes were wide with alarm.

        “That's very noble of you, Coran, but I think I'll be just fine. I do appreciate your willingness to help though, so thank you.” I offered my praise to the older alien man, who nodded, his brows furrowed with concern.

— Time skip bc I literally can't think and I have to move past the plot or else I'll go insane. Maybe I’ll just delete the entire story bc I have no idea what I'm doing. Would anyone care? Like if I just left this fic unfinished permanently like it'll be completed but it doesn't have an end, would y'all be mad? Like, can I pull a One Direction? P.S. this time skip was written a few months before the note about me taking a hiatus. I literally said in that note that i would never do to you what One Direction did to me. I plan to keep my word on that, but this whole thing was just too ironic and funny to delete. —

Third Person POV

  The journey back to the castle was painfully awkward. Keith's entire silhouette was stiff as he focused on piloting the red lion out of the space pocket. Shiro sat on one side of the ship, while Y/N sat on the other side. The two kept their heads down, deep in thought. Explaining everything to the rest of the team was going to be uncomfortable to say the least.

—

    “I beg your pardon? Did you just say you're half Galra?”

  “Yes.”

  Allura stands from her seat abruptly, storming out of the room. A moment later, she returns, letting out a heavy sigh and keeping her head down.

    “I'm not pleased to hear about this. The last time someone Galra became a paladin, it resulted in the destruction of my planet; nearly my entire race.”

  “Princess, he can't help the fact that he–”

    “You have no idea what I've been through! Expecting me to be okay with this information is ridiculous.”

  The rest of the team was shocked. Nobody had anticipated the possibility that one of the paladins could have Galra heritage. Coran hadn't spoken a word since the revelation, but he looked beyond somber.

  Shiro elbows Y/N; an unexpected move that causes her to stumble forward a couple steps. He then coughs in his fist awkwardly, as if nothing happened.

    “So, would now be a bad time to mention that I’m also part Galra?”

  The question was rhetorical, but that didn’t stop the resounding answer of ‘yes’ to flood the room.

 “Wait, if you’re part Galra, doesn’t that mean…” Lance can’t even finish his own sentence before choking up at the thought. Not that he even fully understands what that would mean for him, but if Allura didn’t like it, neither did he.

   “Oh yeah, about that… we’re not twins. I suppose we technically are, but not in that way. I’m part Galra, you’re not.” Y/N responded sheepishly, keeping her gaze pointed down at the floor. It would hurt too much to see the disappointment on her friends’ faces.

—

Keith’s POV

  “Basically, Keith had to do this trial to prove that the knife was his. After he almost died, he decided that the Blade of Marmora could just take the knife because he didn’t need it to know who he really was. It was actually pretty cinematic, but I digress. Then, the knife begins floating, like, levitating in mid-air, and it transforms into the giant machete thing it is now. Cool, right?”

  Pidge and Hunk look at each other, then back at Y/N, who held a cheerful expression. The group decided that they wanted to hear the gist of what happened from her instead of me. I’m not entirely sure why, but Shiro assured me that it would all be okay.

 “That still doesn’t explain how we’re related but not.” Lance pouted, folding his arms while he leaned back in his chair.

  Unfortunately for him, he underestimated his stretch, causing the chair to wobble and almost fall over. Unfortunately for my amusement, he managed to catch himself before disaster could strike.

   “I’m getting there! It’s like Shiro always says, ‘patience yields focus’.”

  Y/N’s brother grumbles a ‘fine’ and allows her to continue her rundown.

   “Then, when as we were getting ready to leave, the Blade agents said they had something for me. I was confused, obviously. So, they gave me this cute little dagger,” she pulls out the object, smiling to herself as she admired the craftsmanship on the weapon. “And explained that my mother was Galra. Apparently my mother went to Earth, got with your– well actually our dad, and returned to space and had me. Since space time and Earth time are different, I was actually born at the same time as you,” Y/N paused, gauging the reactions of everyone in the room. Picking up on the confusion, she continued.

   “I know it sounds crazy and totally not plausible, but that essentially makes us ‘half twins’ because we share a parent and were born at the same time if you were to convert Earth time to space time or space time to Earth time.” She has a nervous smile on her face, her eyebrows are curved the opposite way. It’s clear she’s anxious to hear what Lance will say. I find myself worrying for her as well.

 “Listen, I really want to be like ‘O.M.G. We’re half twins!’ and make a cool handshake with you, but this is just a lot for me to take in all at once.”

  Lance swiftly turns to leave, Pidge and Hunk quickly following after him to avoid the awkwardness that lingered in the room. As soon as they’re all out of hearing distance, Y/N sinks into the sofa. She puts her hands over her face and her shoulders jerk as she begins to cry.

  My first instinct, as someone who grew up alone, is to run away. I’ve learned to combat that instinct, but my second instinct isn’t much better. I look to Shiro, expecting him to know what to do. It wasn’t until after five seconds of expressionless, wide eye contact that I remembered he grew up alone as well, and therefore had a similar response. Usually, we’d rock, paper, scissors it out to see who would deal with the issue at hand, but this really wasn’t the time for that.

  So, as I thought about what the best plan of action was, Shiro decided to take matters into his own hands… by running out of the room. To be fair, he’s technically only six. Even so, that left me with the task of consoling Y/N.

  I thought back to when we were at the pool. She’d comforted me that day. Surely I could do the same for her, couldn’t I? It was worth a shot.

 “It’ll be okay, Y/N,” I spoke softly, not wanting to startle her with the sudden noise.

  The memory of her putting her arm around me was brought to the front of my mind. Maybe it would help her feel less alone if I did the same. I extended my arm behind her, but stopped midway.

 “I’m gonna put my arm around you, if that’s okay.”

   “Alright. I just,” Y/N sniffles, still keeping her head down. Her face is shielded by her knees.

  A moment passed before she spoke.

   “He probably hates me now. Lance, I mean. Allura and Coran probably do too. I’m sorry, this is selfish of me. These are people you’ve known longer and literally save the universe with. I should be asking you how you’re holding up.”

 “Stop, you’re allowed to be upset. Just know you’re not alone. This is yet another shared experience between the two of us. And, just like before, we’re going to get through it and help each other along the way.” I squeezed Y/N’s shoulder, hoping it reassures her even slightly.

   “Thanks,” she exhales. “I really appreciate you doing this. I know this type of thing isn’t your strong suit.”

 “Are you kidding? I’m the best at cheering people up!” I offer sarcastically. I hear her chuckle softly, finally lifting her head.

   “Oh for sure,” she quips. “But seriously, thank you. If you ever want to talk, I’m here. Us Galra have gotta stick together.” Y/N smiles at her pun, the corners of her eyes scrunching.

  I find myself returning the expression, but catch myself before it becomes too noticeable. I don’t smile easily, and even though everyone has seen me laugh and flash a grin, I’d prefer it to be on my own terms. We stand up from the sofa, preparing to go our separate ways.

 “Thanks, Y/N. And just so you know, Lance will come around. He can’t hold a grudge for as long as he thinks. Just give him some time and he’ll arrive to the right conclusion.”

   “Good to know. I’m gonna get some sleep, it’s been a long day. Good night.” She nods, turning and heading towards the bedroom corridor.

 “Sleep well.”

—

Y/N’s POV

  Despite how draining the day had been, I found myself lying wide awake. As hard as I tried, I couldn’t keep my eyes closed for very long and my mind was filled with concerns over how to win back the trust of the paladins, Allura, and Coran.

  I swung my legs over the side of my bed, slid on my slippers, and put on a sweater. If I wasn’t going to end up sleeping, I might as well tire myself out. It couldn’t hurt to do a little training, could it?

  The hallways were empty as I walked to the training deck. All that could be heard was the purr of the ship’s engines and the whir of the crystal’s power that kept the castle up and running. Luckily, the deck was unoccupied, which meant I could practice using my new dagger in private.

   “Let’s see how much of a Galra fighter I really am.” I muttered under my breath, pulling the small knife out of its sheath. The purple gem with the Blade of Marmora symbol glowed as I secured my hold on the grip.

—

  You’ve completed Level Two of hand-to-hand combat training. Would you like to try some willpower exercises now?

  “Sure!” I responded to the artificial intelligence. I wasn’t sure what ‘willpower exercises’ entailed, but I could certainly use a break from the workout I was currently enduring.

  Okay. Starting up willpower exercise number one. Would you like me to explain the exercise?

   “Yes, please.”

  Okay. This willpower exercise will require you to put on the device that will appear on the table in front of you…

  I notice a white, almost crown-like headpiece materialize in the center of the table. I take it and place it on my head.

Great! Now, get in a comfortable, seated position, close your eyes, and await further instruction… Our motion sensors have detected that you are seated. Now, our device will allow your thoughts to be used in your willpower training. Would you like to proceed?

   “Yes.”

  Okay. Beginning conscious and subconscious scan… Scan complete. Are you ready to start willpower exercise number one?

   “Yes.”

 Okay. For this exercise, please imagine you are in a room with a member of your family, or a loved one that you trust…

  My mind immediately pictures Lance. He’s my brother after all, the only family I know I have.

  Great! Now, you will be shown a number scenarios with this person. Your job is to respond as responsibly as you can. Your evaluation will be based on a multitude of factors. Each scenario will test a different factor. After these scenarios, you will be tasked with imagining other people in the same circumstances in order to ensure the accuracy of your emotional responses regardless of the subject.

—

 “Y/N!” Lance smiled, waving frantically. I felt the corners of my mouth tugging in opposite directions as I pictured myself running towards my brother.

  We smothered one another in a warm embrace. I felt safe, happy. After a moment we pulled apart, beginning to talk about our adventures in space.

 “I have to tell you something.”

   “You know you can tell me anything, Lance.”

  He takes a deep breath, his eyebrows furrowed in contemplative thought.

 “I’m not sure how else to say this, so I’ll just come right out and say it. Y/N, I’ve been assigned to kill you.”

   “What? Lance, what are you talking about?” I can barely speak. I feel frozen. I’m tempted to take the headpiece off, but keep forgetting because of how immersive the technology is.

 “Allura said that because you’re Galra, you cannot be trusted. I’ve known her longer, and after the experiences I’ve had with the Galra, I have to agree. This isn’t easy, but I have to do this. I’m sorry, Y/N.”

   “Lance, you don’t have to do this! I’ll just leave! This isn’t fair to you. Allura shouldn’t have burdened you with such a task.” I tell him, placing a hand on his shoulder. I feel tears stream down my face.

 “No, no. That’s the thing,” he steps back, causing my hand to fall down at my side. “I accepted the mission. I brought you here. I want to be the one to do this.”

   “You sound nothing like yourself! What happened? The Lance I know would never kill someone, let alone VOLUNTEER to do it!” I try to reason with him, but his face remains expressionless.

 “You’re wrong. The Lance you knew was the one that trusted you. Now that I know the truth, I’ve had to change my mind about things; about you.”

   “Stop! I know you’re not capable of hurting innocent people! I haven’t done anything! I can’t control the fact that I’m part Galra, in fact I wish I never found out that I was! But those are things I can’t change. Lance, you have to believe me. I would never do anything to hurt you, the paladins, Allura, Coran, or anyone!” I was sobbing hysterically. My own brother was set on ending my life, and I was failing to talk him out of it.

 “Just shut up! You talking is only going to make this harder for you. Just forget everything and pretend I’m a stranger. It was quite easy for me, since you practically are one to me now.” I could tell Lance was on the verge of tears himself, his own willpower being tested.

   “That’s like asking me to forget who I am, Lance. All I’ve ever known is being your long lost sister. That’s how everyone else knows me, how you know me. I know that there’s a part of you that knows the truth. Somewhere deep down, you still believe in me.” My voice was hoarse as I struggled to hold myself together.

 “I wish it didn’t have to be this way. Goodbye, Y/N.”

—

Third Person POV

  “Y/N! Y/N, are you there? It’s me! I’m right here, it’s okay! Y/N, it’s not real!”

  The distraught young woman took in her surroundings. It took some effort for the paladin to get the headpiece off, since the person wearing it usually has to be the one to do so. Luckily, her guard was down enough that it was easy for him to remove it.

   “Oh my god!” She cries, burying her head in the paladin’s chest.

 “Shh, it’s okay,” he tried to calm her. “I’ve got you. It’s okay, I promise you’re safe.” He holds Y/N tighter, hoping to ease the pain the simulation caused her.

   “It– it was Lance, and he–”

 “Shh, it’s okay. None of it was real. Lance is asleep. Everyone else is asleep. Nobody is going to hurt you, I won’t let them.” The words seemed to ease Y/N’s mind a little, her cries becoming quieter, softer.

   “Please don’t leave. I don’t– I don’t want to be alone.”

 “I won’t. I’m staying right here. You won’t be alone.”

Omg hi guys I’m so sorry for not posting in so long. I know I just announced a hiatus, but I was kind of late on that and I should’ve done that a couple months ago instead of just ghosting you all.

[paladin-shenanigans]

I tried to read the rules before sending but the post was half cut off and I couldn't find it in the search box on the mobile app 🙃 so I hope this is ok. I tried to get the gist of it. Also I haven't read every post so I'm not sure if this has been done yet and I haven't started rewatching it yet, but I'm not worried about spoilers so if it can't be avoided go ahead.

Anyway! So I was just wondering what the paladins (and Allura and Coran if that's ok) would do for a first date a potential SO they really liked.

(I normally gravitate towards a female SO but could it be a GN since that can include more people?)

oooo yes of course!! this sounds so cute and soft 😊 surprisingly nobody’s asked for this yet, and this is incredibly tame so i’d be more than happy doing this lmao. and yes on this blog i ALWAYS write a gender-neutral s/o!

shiro

☆ he’s probably one of the most chill date-planners of all of the paladins tbh. and when i say date-planner, i mean he is LITERALLY someone who plans his dates. everything that they do, what they’ll buy (if needed), what they’ll do...unfortunately this man may come off as a bit annoying because of this, but trust me, he’s doing it because he wants to make sure you’re happy <3

☆ but tbh...if he’s having a good time he’ll just completely move away from what he had planned. sometimes he’s aware that he can be kinda uptight with the things he does and whatever happens that makes you happy then he’ll go along with that. which is why he’d probably do something more relaxing, like dinner and maybe a movie.

☆ he definitely insists on taking care of the check, no matter if the two of you are having a sit down lunch or getting takeout, and will probably buy any snacks or drinks that you two want for the movie, heh.

☆ it doesn’t really matter if you guys are in a theater or at home, as long as it’s dark then this man has absolutely no problem with slinking an arm around you and pulling you close, holding your hand during an action or horror sequence if you need it, or maybe even kissing you during a more romantic moment. he’s a bit shy about showing affection at first, especially in a public place, but if it’s dark and nobody can see then he’ll be more okay with it.

☆ he’ll probably try to kiss you on the first date lol. it’s more likely than not that he’ll get all awkward and mess up, but as long as his lips end up meeting yours then he considers it a win

lance

☆ okay, so we all know for a fact that this boy is super flirtatious and likes to flaunt the fact that he’s a ladies man. but actually, when it comes down to ACTUALLY becoming romantically involved with someone he can get, like?? REALLY awkward?

☆ he’s a bit hesitant about asking his crush out on a first date, and he cannot hide his excitement if they accept. he probably likes to wing his dates a lot, but when it comes to the first one, he wants to think of what they can do together because he doesn’t want to mess up.

☆ he’d probably take his s/o swimming! probably at the beach since he likes the salt water, and it’s probably attributed to where he grew up. he also absolutely has a swimmer’s body so it’s likely that he’d be incredibly agile in the water. he’s more one to leisurely swim, no matter if he’s in a pool, lake, or ocean, but sometimes he’ll challenge his s/o to a race (which he’ll probably end up cheating at).

☆ he probably starts a random water fight too and slaps you with a noodle just to rile you up. it turns into this massive water battle that leaves you both exhausted and lying on the sand, panting and laughing together as you try to awkwardly hold hands

☆ he probably takes you for a sunset stroll on the beach just to look at the tide turning orange. he probably also tries to kiss you but randomly screws up, like maybe his nose hits your forehead when he leans in with his eyes closed? yeah he’s not as suave as he thinks he is, he’s definitely awkward but you still find it cute

keith

☆ unsurprisingly he is? SUPER shy about asking his crush for a date? i mean the two of you absolutely need a break fighting the universe when you can catch one, y’all are bound to be exhausted. but he KNOWS that the two of you need a moment to breathe, and in the end he’ll be thankful he did this

☆ he’s a blushing and stuttering mess, that’s for sure. it takes him probably forever to say it, but he asks to just take his s/o for a ride in the black lion (after shiro’s disappearance, or the red one, it depends on the time) just to take in the sights. he promises allura he won’t stray far from the castle but knowing him he probably will and may need a wormhole to get back

☆ he just asks you to sit back and enjoy the ride, and he probably was too since it felt like the lion was moving completely on its own, as if it knew what the two of you were doing there

☆ and it takes the two of you on the most beautiful space ride, through the most magnificent parts of the known universe that you two had ever seen. you catch a glimpse of an allusion of falling stars, probably fly through a group of those small eye-like creatures that glow with the light of nearby stars or suns, maybe even explore the atmosphere of a planet just to see what the sunsets are like

☆ keith is incredibly romantic and sweet in private, so be expected to be given a ton of kisses and hushed compliments under his breath. about how much he enjoyed spending time with you, how much you mean to him and how lucky he feels to have you in his life.

hunk

☆ believe it or not he actually has a lot more confidence than lance!! sure, he may end up a bit of a blushy and stuttery mess if his crush confesses to him first or acts romantic, but he trusts himself to go with his instincts

☆ he probably asks for you to come over and spend the evening with him as he cooks some of his best and most delicious meals for you. he likes cooking to bring people together, so he’d definitely do it to bring the two of you together and to impress you with his cooking skills of course!

☆ if his s/o is also a good cook then the whole thing will probably turn into this all out cooking war that took months, just to see who could impress who more with their skills

☆ he definitely will make the most romantic dessert though. also maybe a huge bowl of spaghetti that you two end up sharing and it all turns into that one scene from lady and the tramp lol. that’s probably how you two ended up kissing in the first place anyways, just ended up eating the meal together and liking it so much that the both of you lost touch with your surroundings and ended up kissing on accident xD

☆ he’ll probably make you chocolates or cakes as well on valentine’s day or just as a random show of kindness to cheer you up if you need it. it doesn’t have to be on a date, just whenever he feels like lifting your spirits.

pidge

☆ she is definitely one of the more awkward paladins when it comes to romance, besides keith, of course. she’d probably be the one to be asked out by her crush, which was very surprising to her.

☆ she’d probably stress about what to do since she doesn’t have much experience with this kind of thing, but as it turns out, since the two of you have similar interests, she’d probably ask if you wanted to just hang out and play video games together and you’d likely be more than happy to do so.

☆ if you weren’t familiar with it then she’d definitely introduce you to killbot phantasm, which of course is her favorite video game franchise. if you were, they you two would probably just end up playing it anyways, probably starting a new world together and working through it.

☆ as i stated in my minecraft headcanons, she isn’t much of a cheater, but she’s incredibly skilled in combat. there’s something about the way she plays that makes it so she can escape without getting too much damage done to her, so she’s always prepared to come to your rescue if you need it, even if she’s getting overwhelmed by an entire group of hostiles or enemies.

☆ she probably wouldn’t try to kiss on the first date. she tends to take these things slowly and see how it all feels before she tries something intimate like that.

allura

☆ like pidge, allura isn’t overly versed in romance either. she’s fine with smaller acts of intimacy, but prefers to take things slowly. however, she may turn head over heels quickly if someone expresses their feelings towards her.

☆ she’s someone who likes to relax and take in the atmosphere when it comes to moments with people she’s fond of, so maybe a nice relaxing walk in the park or even a slow drive just to take in the scenes.

☆ as someone who’s not familiar with a lot of earth flora and fauna, she enjoys learning about flowers and plants and even some of the wildlife. she’ll probably want to stop to smell all of the flowers just to see which one reminds her the most of the altean juniberry.

☆ the date probably ends with you two relaxing on a bench watching the sun set, and she’s absolutely amazed by the beauty of earth sunsets. how everything turns orange, painting the horizon and the earth with pinks and browns and oranges. she’d comment about how beautiful it is and how much it makes her miss altea, how lucky you are to have such a beautiful home.

☆ there’s no way you wouldn’t comfort her (right? please tell me this is true) and she only grows more fond of you if you let her know that she feels like a newfound family to you. trust me, saying this will absolutely make her heart swell and it’ll probably be enough to make her want to kiss you.

coran

☆ he isn’t one to put much thought into romance or dates in the first place. he prefers to focus on keeping allura safe before anything, but of course, if he comes across someone he just can’t keep his mind off of, then he’ll just become absolutely smitten with them.

☆ he’s kind of awkward at first, but in the end he’ll be SO HAPPY that he asked them out. he’d be more like “do you want to maybe go do something together” instead of asking them out on an actual date. but if it feels like a date then he’d consider it an accomplishment.

☆ as a first date, he’d definitely take them to, you guessed it: THE SPACE MALL. he’ll show them around to all of his favorite places and stands and may end up getting distracted by a stand that sells really cool weapons or antiques.

☆ he’s not a massive video game player, but he’d be more than happy to accompany you to a stand that sells limited edition cartridges and disks for the gaming systems you do have on the ship. but trust me, as soon as this man gets hooked on a video game, he gets HOOKED. he will come by and ask you if you want to play a level with him at one of the WORST possible times.

☆ he’s not one to kiss on the first date, especially if it’s happening in such a public place. he keeps his romantic energy for that kind of moment saved up for later when he knows that he’ll need it.

6. When did you start reading and writing fic?

ok bear with me i feel like this is like a very weird timeline for getting into fic but

technically my first ever fanfiction was a quizilla wwyff (if literally anyone else remembers quizilla and wwyffs hmu bc sometimes it feels like a fever dream) that i wrote when i was 13 BUT i didn't actually start getting into like...actual fanfiction until i was lik 16/17 and got very into voltron (dark times) and started reading a little bit of fanfiction and writing a self-insert fic that i then abandoned when the show went downhill and i got bored of it lol. and then when i was in my final year of undergrad and home for the holidays losing my mind i read atyd for the first time, but i didn't really read any other fanfic after that, so it was kind of an isolated event. but i also started to rewrite the captive prince series and finished the first two books in the span of like 2-3 months i think and then just slowly chipped away at the last one over like the next 6 months, and i remembered ao3 from my voltron days so i was like might as well post this here in case anyone's interested and then there were like a handful of people reading it and i was like wow this is fun! nice :)

BUT i would say that i didn't actually start to get involved in fanfiction as any sort of community until literally exactly one year ago when i started posting my rewrite of atyd from sirius's pov thinking it would go the same way my captive prince rewrite went, where i was essentially just fucking around having fun getting to stay inside this story for a while and a handful of people would stop by and be like hey nice! and then someone on tiktok posted about it and it blew up all of a sudden like...two or three months after i'd started writing it i think? and so i feel like i kind of got dragged into the marauders fanfic community lmao because that's what led to me like making this blog and stuff. and then i started to get more interested in the marauders fandom generally and started to see people recommending fics so i was like hmmm maybe i'll branch out from atyd and read some other stuff and. well. now here we are a year later.

11. Do you have a comfort fic that you always come back to? What is it?

i mean....atyd i guess lmao. except after sirius's pov i think i've sort of got it out of my system in that i spent like...6 months thinking about it nonstop and so now i cannot imagine re-reading it anytime soon. i'm not really a big re-reader when it comes to fics though, like aside from atyd i don't really think there are any i go back to. except hackery i have reread hackery many many times but i wouldn't call it a comfort fic it's more like the fanfiction equivalent of snorting cocaine when i need inspiration to write

24. If you could go back and talk to yourself in the moments before you posted your first fic, what would you say to past you?

i'd say hey babe ur actually a lesbian <3 also they're going to make shiro gay anyway and the lance x allura thing isn't a joke they're actually following through with it he and keith will never be canon <3 hope this helps <3

this ask game

[biqherosix]

can i get some youngest paladin hcs with team voltron? and uh,, maybe some bits of,, older brother shiro, like not actualyl related to reader but ya know just being a good older figure of them, only if u want!!!

defenders of friendship - headcanons

fluff

(voltron legendary defender — platonic! team voltron x reader)

even when you and the paladins have to defend the world, they know that they'd do anything to protect you first. even if that meant involving themselves in a little bit of fun

cw / none

a/n — hi anon i hope you enjoy this !! it's not totally amazing but platonic content for any fandom is so hard to look for and i always eat that shit up. hopefully this satisfies :) ily all sm ! @sokkas-honour this is for you bc you love big brother shiro and ik you need this so 🥰 ps no surprise here but keith’s part is my fave lmao and hopefully i don’t fall off the face of the earth anytime soon bc the inspiration is seriously flowing

you're literally baby, but contrary to popular belief i feel like the paladins would be pretty chill with you

trust me if they can let pidge do the things she does, you can too (plus you're super badass so it doesn't matter)

not to say that they aren't protective, bc they totally are !! they just show it in like different ways

for instance, coran, shiro, lance, allura, and hunk are the most protective and vocalize their concerns and like you really feel the love with them

you're actually the closest with shiro and lance; it's to be expected since they're just the kinda people who really just always want to make sure you're comfortable, but team voltron loves you all the same :)

lance is very affectionate, so he always has a hand out for you, but on occasions he can't hold your hand he'll intertwine a pinky with yours to let you know he's there

he's also always whispering random stuff in your ear if you sit next to him during diplomat meetings (that seating placement had been revoked after lance made you laugh so hard you fell off your chair during important alliance making)

i'm pretty sure you asked the blue paladin to give you a piggyback ride around the castle once and he was ready to oblige but he ended up falling on his face bc he's a noodle (keith walked in on him as soon as he faceplanted and never lets him forget it)

so you asked shiro instead (which resulted in a pouty lance; you made sure to have a sleepover with him filled with gossip and face masks)

shiro ever the serious thinks it could be dangerous at first, but inevitably lets himself be vulnerable and now you just casually cling onto his back during meetings in the castle, no one pays any mind to it honestly

he just loves that your young lil self keeps him grounded and despite all you've seen you still carry a sense of innocence and bright air for team voltron

also when you're feeling down he lets you wear a jacket of his and it's so big on you 🥺🙈 you know it's not necessarily practical but you will wear shiro's oversized jacket over your paladin armor sometimes

oh and catch him with mini braids in his hair or the little tuft of his white hair a different color in the coming movements in space :)

now, hunk always makes a little too much baked goods for the sake of bringing the extras to your room by the end of the night and sometimes he'll even keep you company while you eat them to talk about anything !!

if he can't stay he always leaves a lil note for you in the basket about how much he appreciates you and everything (you kept the notes in a little box to read whenever you're feeling not great)

as much as you wanna cook with hunk you're under strict orders from lance not to bc he's scared you could be allergic to alien shit and die

on the other hand allura is basically your older sister ! she likes playing with your hair whenever you have conversations together and she listens intently, offering advice because she understands that there's so much pressure behind defeating enemies

she dotes on you though, and loves playing little road trip games with the mice; and when you're travelling for super long periods of time you keep her company in the control room

normally she likes the peace and quiet steering the ship brings her but you're built different so you can babble about anything while you're together

she feels bad when you fall asleep in your respective paladin chair (even if hunk shiro and lance ended up getting / making some pillows and blankets to make it more comfy) so those nights she carries you to her room and you get some space girl cuddles 🥺

coran always makes sure to come in on those mornings with some altean tea and sing some tunes before you start your days, it's his way of trying to make sure you're doing okay

and sweet sweet coran — he always wants to include you in things so when everyone is doing their own thing and he wants to clean, he'll ask you to help him and tells you about altean culture, and even some embarrassing stories

you also take the time to tell him all about earth and their fashion choices, you two are quite the critics !!

so you have your loving older sister, doting brothers, and space uncle coran; but then there's keith and pidge i-

okay so they don't necessarily tell you they care they show you through two ways: educating you, and bullying you whilst being educated

keith was the one who had the honor of training you with your little bayard space daggers but still makes an effort to make sure you learn how to defend yourself with anything you can grab your hands on

thank the ancients for keith because now you can defend yourself with casual shit like spoons and bowls

sparring sessions consist of "ugh no okay let's just focus. patience yields focus" "don't hold it like that you'll end up cutting into yourself instead of the enemy!" and my personal favorite "y/n your form is sloppy they'll dropkick you if you keep that up"

keith may come off as harsh or trying to overwork you sometimes but he just wants you to be able to defend yourself when he's not around, especially when he's off with the blade of marmora

always makes it up to you with a cold glass of water and a really bad joke after a session (on special occasions you get a pat on the back but you pull him into a hug, lance never lets him live that down either)

any given situation he's the first one by your side when you're injured because he zooms over to you bc lance and shiro go pew pew pew

pidge though omg sometimes she sleeps in your room more than she does in her own because she falls asleep teaching you how to code and you even help tinker with her projects

she doesn't bully you as much as keith does but she only started bullying you because you corrected her one (1) time while tinkering

"pidge you misspelled that, you could accidentally turn off the whole system" "okay and who's the one who's been coding for more than a day? i got this" (she did not in fact, get it, because the thing wouldn't even turn on)

their little shenanigans in trying to care for you brought them all closer though they wouldn't admit it to each other (they all think that but will do progress reports when you're not in the room)

tldr: team voltron is the sweetest family ever and you love them for it

[ticklefits]

maybe keith (vld) for the tickling ask meme? :D

character tickling ask meme! | @fandomsnfluff

keith kogane:

on a scale of 1-10, how ticklish are they?

i’d say probably an 8. keith definitely seems like the broody touch-starved type whos actually very sensitive but you wont know until he lets you get close.

where is their most ticklish spot(s)?

neck, lower back, and the just below his ribs. all very specific places that will get you a broken hand if you try to touch there.

which spots are they not ticklish?

sorry folks, keith isn’t all that ticklish on his sides or hips, which are some pretty common places to be sensitive. you might get some giggles if you catch him by surprise and tickle him in those places, but nothing of significance and you bet your ass he’s going to retaliate 

what is their laugh like?

it’s higher in pitch than someone might expect looking at him, but you sort of get it once you hear his voice, cause the man aint all that deep. it’s still cute though, and he gets choked up and wheezes sometimes when he laughs too hard since he hasnt had all that much to laugh about growing up, so its foreign to him ):

do they enjoy tickling? if yes, is it a fun platonic/familial thing, or kinky thing to them, or can it be both depending on the circumstance?

to a degree, yes. it depends on the person, and you’d better be close to him if you’re tickling him, because you can and will get hurt if you arent. if you’re his lover, chances are, it’s gonna be considered both a wholesome, platonic thing and a bedroom thing, dependent on the situation 

are they more often a lee or ler, generally?

i definitely feel like its both, but keith can give off some serious ler energy. remember that scene when allura snapped a spoonful of food goo and got pidge in the face, and not even seconds later, keith growls out a “go loose, pidge!” and flips that shit right back at A PRINCESS? shit gave me chills and yall cant look me in the eyes and tell me that man wouldn’t WRECK YOUR SHIT if he wanted to 

who is someone in their life that they tickle often?

he probably doesn’t initiate tickle fights often because a) he’s very ticklish himself and b) he has a problem with vulnerability. those issues get better though and once keith gets closer to the others, tickle fights deffo become more of a thing and yes, lance is definitely always a consistent target because that boy mouth be runnin marathons. sometimes keith goes after shiro, but mans quickly regrets that one LMAO

who is someone in their life that they get tickled by often?

shiro is a terrifyingly good tickler and adam could attest to that. chris can also attest to that. keith had to deal with some real ticklish nightmares as a kid growing up with shiro, and even after he became an adult and found shiro again, that didn’t stop. lessened a little bit sure, but if shiro needed to make keith feel better or punish him for being the brat he is, he knew what to do

does the word “tickle” or any variation of embarrass them?

if hes the lee in the situation, then yes it does. if hes the ler, then he will absolutely use it against whoever hes tickling and has no problem saying it, hes simply that bitch sometimes

are they embarrassed about their ticklishness, and do they try to deny/hide it?

not so much embarrassed, he just knows that he would be a target for constant tickle attacks if the people around him found out about his ticklish secret. so yes, he does deny it/hide it and will go into fight or flight if you start teasing him about it.

would gentle tickling or rough tickling affect them more?

being a warrior, keith is definitely used to harsher things and with all the training he’s always doing, i wouldn’t be surprised if you needed to dig in there to really get him howling if thats what you want. but i feel like, gentle tickling would not only affect him physically, but also mentally and emotionally, and it would be such a sight seeing him melt like that 

is there a specific spot that they enjoy being tickled, either exclusively or more than other spots? what is it?

if you’re his lover, keith is actually partial to having his lower back tickled. soft, little strokes can be soothing to him and lull him right to sleep. and, on the other side of the coin, full blown tickles on his back just feel good in a different sort of way (:< if you’re just a friend, don’t tickle him -- thats what he prefers LMAO

is there a spot that they can’t stand to be tickled, either because it’s just too sensitive, or it’s uncomfortable/painful/etc? what is it?

his neck is a big no-no unless you are, you guessed it, his lover. it doubles as an erogenous zone and if you tickle him there, as a friend, chances are, hes gonna smack you away and maybe even run

would they ever purposefully bug a friend/partner/sibling into tickling them, and if so, how would they go about it?

nah, he wouldn’t. he’s not big on asking for tickles for himself, even when hes feeling touch-starved; theres nicer, less embarrassing ways to curb that craving for touch, so, the other person would have to decide to tickle him of their own accord

does teasing affect them?

yes, no matter whether hes lee or ler. as a lee, teasing embarrasses him and he acts out because of it, and will definitely become more sensitive because of it. when he’s a ler, good fucking luck to the lee, because his teasing as a ler is so AWFUL. he’s the why are you laughing, im not even doing anything to you type of ler, the oh, not here? how about here type of ler, the mock laughter and pleading type of ler. mans is pure evil when hes a ler and if you’re a cute lee, he gets even WORSE

Juniberry Season

SERIES MASTERLIST | PLATONIC ALLURA X F!ALTEAN!READER

WARNINGS: mentions of upcoming war, allura’s probably very ooc

NOTES: This is set in the Paper Rings universe, so if you’d like to see things set after this, check out the masterlist linked above! Also the title really has nothing to do with the oneshot, it just sounds cute lmao

DEDICATED TO @biqherosix, who really helped me out while writing this piece

“Excuse me,” Allura gently moved her hand away from the man in front of her who had just kissed it in greeting. “As much as I would love to continue this conversation, I’m afraid I’m needed elsewhere.”

The diplomat, from god knows where, nodded as he bowed. “Of course, Princess. I’ll save a dance for you.”

Allura forced a smile onto her face as she bid goodbyes and quickly made her way toward Y/N, who was waiting on the sidelines with a teasing grin.

“Princess, I’ll save a dance for you,” Y/N mocked quietly, following behind Allura as they made their way out of the ballroom.

This was a common occurrence at events like this. Allura would often have to greet suitors who would do just about anything to win her over, and afterwards, she and Y/N would head outside to laugh about their hopeless attempts to woo Altea’s crown princess.

“At least you wouldn’t step on my feet, Y/N,” Allura whispered, a smile tugging at her lips.

Y/N let out a laugh, linking arms with the Princess as they stepped foot into the garden. “Well, I learnt from the best.”

It wasn’t a lie, Allura had taught Y/N how to dance when they were mere children, before Y/N had become one of Allura’s ladies. It was one of her fondest memories honestly.

The Princess let out a sigh as she sat down. “I feel as though the time isn’t right for this party,” she spoke. “Not with Altea on the cusp of war.”

Y/N’s smile faded for a moment. “But isn’t that why we need to have this?” She questioned. “One last hurrah.”

Allura hummed as she picked a junniberry from behind her.

“I don’t know about you, but I’d like to be married before it all,” Y/N suddenly stated.

“Married?” Allura raised a brow. “Y/N-”

Y/N looked down at the glass in her hands. “I don’t know, Allura,” she whispered sheepishly. “We have no idea how things will turn out, so I think it’s okay to hope for things as simple as that.”

Allura stared at her friend. Y/N was right, though Altea was on the cusp of war against one of King Alfor’s longtime friends, they had to have hope. Even for the simple things.

“Do you have anyone in mind?” Allura asked. “Did you fall in love and not tell me?”

Y/N’s face lit up, going almost as pink as the juniberry flower Allura was holding.

“You did!” Allura grinned. “Y/N, why didn’t you tell me?”

“I didn’t!” Y/N shook her head. “You just caught me off guard, Allura.”

Laughter filled the garden, even as Allura returned to what she was making with the flowers. “If I did though, I’d like to believe he would be more serious than the men fighting for your attention. They’re just... too much,” Y/N muttered. “And maybe he’d be good with a sword, so we can train together.”

“Oh! I’d like someone who listens to me, definitely, even if they have no response.”

“Really? I always thought you’d fall for someone on the playful side,” Allura’s eyes flickered to her friend.

“Playful?” Y/N thought about it for a moment. “Playful feels like a step too close to childish. I doubt I could last in a relationship with someone too childish. Though I would like to be someone who can make me smile no matter what.”

“You may be right about that one.” Allura leaned over to place the flower crown atop Y/N’s head. “Though no matter who you come to love, they will never make flower crowns as good as I.”

Y/N smiled softly as she glanced at Allura. “Of course, I wouldn’t even ask them to try.” She then averted her gaze. “But this is all a ‘what if’ scenario, maybe I’ll grow up to be like Coran.”

Allura laughed at that. “You’ll find somebody one day, Y/N, and I’m sure that day isn’t too far in the future.”

“Come on, I’ve fought children stronger than this gladiator!” Y/N taunted, standing on the sidelines as the Paladins trained against the Altean gladiator.

“Y/N is right. The gladiator is set at a level fit for an Altean child!” Allura called out, crossing her arms as her eyes narrowed in the Paladins direction.

Pushing himself up from the floor, Keith took off running at the gladiator, his sword held tightly in his hands. Though before he could get the drop on it, the gladiator was charging in Hunk’s direction, knocking the boy over with ease.

Allura let out a sigh, quickly powering down the simulator as she pinched the bridge of her nose. “Let’s… take a break,” she spoke in frustration.

Y/N’s eyes flickered from Allura, who was already walking out the door, to the Paladins who looked beyond tired. “Good work today, Paladins!” Giving them a thumbs up, Y/N quickly took off after the Princess.

“Keith is almost a natural with his bayard,” Allura noted immediately as Y/N caught up. “The others however… I fear they have a long way to go before they’re ready to face Zarkon.”

“Right,” Y/N nodded. “But they have us here to train them.”

Allura stopped in the hallway, a soft smile beginning to tug at her lips. “While watching, I was reminded of something you said a long time ago,” she spoke. “About the man you’d like to fall in love with.”

Y/N’s brows furrowed in confusion. “What about it?”

“Well, Keith seems to fit those standards, don’t you think?”

“Allura,” Y/N let out a laugh. “I think my taste in men has changed over the last 10,000 years.”

a voltron au? in 2020? it’s more likely than you think

look. LOOK. i know that voltron is stupid and we hate it but lets be honest: everything up until season 3 was pretty good and had lots of potential !!

today i was rewatching voltron and a thought struck me: what if, instead of shiro being cloned, he was chipped and turned to the side of the galra?

so here it is, i did not blink since i thought of this

(warning, i have not seen voltron in a while and this is just knowledge i have stored in my moss brain and stuff i know from rewatching the first season)

au where shiro goes evil bc of what happens @ end of season one instead of the clone thing bc 1) haggar rly could not have made thousands of shiros after bumping into team voltron like what twice? its hella improbable and 2) just… weird

so instead they insert a chip in him that helps them spy and control him just like kuron (the clone) did minus the unlikely storytelling

eventually after the convo with sendak when he was in the pod trying to temp shirp, he does have thoughts about helping zarkon

(“im already infiltrated with the arm, i could just speed up the process by leaving now. save the team the trouble of investing in a leader that’s doomed to fail from the strart.”)

shiro ends up leaving team voltron in season 2 after zarkon goes crazy w the black lion n stuff

^^ this adds to Keith’s reasoning of joining the Blade of Marmora (shiro is his main stability and one of the main reasons he even stuck around with team voltron, so with shiro gone and keith questioning his place as the leader and paladin of the black lion, he decides the BoM is just.. what’s best for him) 

obviously lance isn’t happy with this (“you just told me that i’m a valuable member, now you don’t think YOU are? what logic is that?”)

ofc keith goes anyways

lance becomes paladin of the black lion

allura takes on the red lion

who has blue lion? ...idk this isn’t that thought out (maybe matt after pidge finds her family) (which will happen earlier in the plot since we can forget about the miniplot of black no longer responding to shiro)

enter lotor only this time he has a sidekick and what omg its shiro wow

shiro has that bigger version of his arm that was once offered to him

he’s stronger and scary, but his eyes aren’t the same, he has the strength of a galra but lacks the passion 

in the fight between lotor and zarkon, (and after, of course lots of self doubt and questioning) shiro comes between them and convinces lotor NOT to kill zarkon

then zarkon kills lotor

everyones like oh shit bc surely someone who’s life was just spared wouldn’t kill the person who seems to have the most power

but he did. bc he’s zarkon. and he’s fckn crazy.

shiro doesn’t go back to team voltron bc its too much too easily

instead he takes the place of lotor in the group of gals 

he convinces them all to rebel against the galra

eventually they teach him all about quintessence and all the shit lotor had planned that they can’t do anymore

(lotor wasn’t harvesting alteans in this universe bc what the heck even was that subplot that had little to no relevance to the main storyline?

instead he was trying to find a way to technologically bring back alteans (kinda like how allure’s dad was originally preserved in s1)

i know nothing about How Stuff Works and i dont remember much about quintessence n shit but the basic idea is that when tying in some of a persons artifacts with technology stuff and some quintessence then boom. a weird route from astral projection land to the team is created and ppl can come back or smth idfk

but lotor was never able to get the comet so shiro decides he and the gals will get that comet and try to bring back as many alteans as they can

^ all this while infiltrating as many galra fleets as possible + saving planets under galra empire

they personally visit every planet that lotor was in charge of and release them from galra control

they are able to bring back an altean (its romelle) and she talks abt her friend who lives on the balmera and they go to the balmera and its revealed that it was shay’s great grandmother so romelle asks where shay is and shay’s family is like with team voltron of course

so

they take her

obviously team voltron, the BoM and the Rebels r very hesitant to make contact but they decide to try it out

keith refuses to meet, instead he’s on the team that stands guard

reunions !! 

romelle and shay hit it off and hunk makes a dinner much like roselle’s past (allura and coran also hang out and they all vibe)

lance talks to shiro abt everything to do with keith and shiro is like dude do u??? like him?

and lance is like what? no ofc not—oh shit.

and keith ✨overhears ✨

pidge matt and shiro catch up n shit

meanwhile keith is like Hey Lance Uhhhhhh What The Fuck

they end up being like hey since we’re all here and we hate zarkon what if we make a plan to end the galra’s reign Right Now

so they do

and y’all.. it’s hella baller plan

except something is going wrong and in the middle of an attack zarkon is able to get the upper hand 

due to haggar’s magic and lance’s mental and emotional instability, zarkon is able to get in his head

everyone is trying to talk him down but they’re all under a lot of pressure

allura is also conflicted bc she wanted to be black lion bc she wanted to rub it in to zarkon’s face that she was stronger than he and that she could beat him at his own game

but the negativity and instability feeds into zarkon’s power and makes him and haggar stronger as they pull in voltron to finally take over the team and regain their status as the most powerful alien race

hunk realizes this and is like okay can y’all stop being negative? its clearly affecting them in a good way and it makes us an easier target

and pidge is like im literally a child pls i don’t wanna die i just got my family back it can’t end like this

shiro realizes what’s going on and he goes to save them

he uses all his energy, pulling in the positive memories (everything: first learning about space, becoming a teacher, meeting adam, meeting keith, first making team voltron, his friends and family--all of it) to push back zarkon and haggar’s powers and battle once more in the astral realm 

in defeating zarkon, shiro loses his life

afterwards keith enters the ship in a hurry and is like where the fuck is shiro where’s my brother what did you do what happened

and team voltron is like hey man.. we are so so sorry

and keith cries because the last thing he ever said to shiro was mean

lance feels like its all his fault since he was supposed to be a good leader

they talk about separately while hunk pidge and allura discuss

krolia is like keith we, ur family, are here for u

and axca is there and shes like um?? hey?? sry for trying to kill u bro

and he’s like i absolutely do not wanna talk i just lost my closest friend

they talk about it later

axca tells keith abt shiro finishing lotor’s work and abt bringing people back and well.. 

they use the methods to help keith visit shiro in the astral realm

shiro is like oh uh hey i was just having a drink w adam we r happy

and keith is like shiro u fuckhead why would u sacrifice urself

shiro sighs bc cmon keith you KNOW why “remember what i always said? we can’t focus on what went wrong..”

“we’ve got to figure out how to make it right” keith finishes

keith breaks tf down crying and screams apologizing

“i love u shiro. ur a like a big brother to me.”

and shiro is like yeah i know and ilyt but hey. everyone’s safe and happy. im safe and happy. & you deserve to be too. you don’t need me anymore.

so the galra rule is over and everyone goes to their respected planets

romelle and the other alteans as well as some galra babes hang in earth

romelle and shay r in an apartment together and have a garden

allura realizes she may not have been the strongest leader for voltron, and  couldn’t stop zarkon on her own but that physical strength doesn’t define her as a whole

her heart is strong enough to care for everyone, so thats what she does

allura starts running an inn for alteans filled with painted sceneries like altea in case anyone ever needs a reminder of home

when lance reunites with his family its a real tearjerker

rachel finally gets her jacket back and veronica is like So.. Axca 👀

the McClain’s host a huge party for everyone and it’s filled with lots of hugs and loud music and even tho lance was way too tired, he danced all night

he wouldn’t trade his family for the world—genetic and chosen

when hunk reunites with his parents they don’t let him out the house for hours, he tells them all about his new best friend shay as well as hundreds of his favorites stories from space

they are so, so proud of him

hunk spends the next days playing minecraft and animal crossing with pidge, giving their brains a rest from being on hyperdrive for 3 yrs straight

when pidge gets home she finally gets grounded by her mom, only being allowed to leave the house to see her old teammates

(same for matt and her dad)

(her mother cries so hard when they opened the door to the home)

the holt family holds movie nights filled with popcorn, cuddles, and tears

keith moves in with the holt family, and finally accepts that he has a home as well as a family

he often goes on trips with the BoM but mostly just stays on earth

after a Team Voltron sleepover in the altea inn keith and lance decide to get an apartment together and live their lives in love and in peace

everyone gets together once a year in celebration of shiro and the sacrifice he made for them

they use the ship to visit Astral Shiro and once they even met adam

everyone laughs and catches up and just... live their lives

everyone is happy

pls ignore any and all errors lmao

again, just a thought !! maybe i’ll write a fic abt it idk for sure but yeah

feel free to add anything <3

[linipik]

this time in “we deserved that voltron episode”: The infamous Ball episode and it is Lance and Allura-centric: - Allura needs to go to this fancy meeting for the coalition and it is BIG IMPORTANT -And of course lance makes a big thing out of it “a big dinner with the world to see and lots of important people”and coran just adds to the fire with something like “ in one of the 34 more romantic systems!!”) - Allura is unsure about holding such a meeting by herself because she doesnt want to be by herself - She talks with Coran and he is like “you are princess Allura you dont need to demonstrate anything to anyone but if you want someone i dont know better lads than the paladins” -She decides to go for Lance’s offer to go with her  -Mostly because she is unsure  on being on her own (for the meeting and like in life in general) -And Lance is making a fuss of it because Allura is actually wanting to go with him somewhere, like a date!!1! - While Allura is dreading the entire thing (she convinces herself it’s because she is anxious about an actual date, but in no moment she is good excited about it) - so they arrive and everyone is like “Altean princess and a paladin, of course!” - And the evening is going alright except for every single interaction they have -It all goes into uncomfortable for them both (so basically how their relationship went in s8 lmao) -Allura is blaming herself because it is not working , like she spends some time kind of listing mentally why Lance, who is interested in her, is a good prospect and objectively he is but she is not interested in Lance and that maybe she can convince herself she could be, -While lance’s plan is technically running smoothly and at the same time he sees how there are no sparks but he wont admit there are no sparks with the princess - And after some real disaster moment, maybe after a horrible dance or in the moment of a speech they just cant deal with this date. -something like, lance going to fix a strand of hair behind her ear and she reacts by getting his hand out of the way and they look at each other and they both see that this is the opposite of a good date -Allura tells lance how this is all been a disaster because of her and that she really wanted it to work because it seemed objectively the best option but she was forcing herself to do that -  and lance comes forward and is just like  “im flattered but you really didnt have to make yourself go out with me, it’s okay im a big boy i can take a rejection” - and after taking it all out of their chest , they laugh about their own disaster date as friends because that is the relationship they both want to have - after everything, in the castle, hunk and pidge are all “wow we thought you would be more heartbroken” and lance is all “yeah, weird, me too” but he is not because he also realised that even when things didn't go well in the girlfriend area it went amazing in the friendship area.

....if somehow they also have a  secret mission/spy subplot for the rest of the paladins, that would be cherry on top bc im super into spies.

And this Allura doodle because I miss her and she deserved having fun
