“But this…this is exactly why we are going to come up with something; a code or a phrase or something – so that if I am not here and you need me for whatever reason, you can message me that word and I will drop everything I’m doing so we can talk.” - Broken Things: Ch2 Code by ErithEl

Broken Things is one of my favorite fics ever, so here’s me professing my love for @erithel ’s work once again 😭💕🛐 (Scenes depicted are from Ch4 Weakness and Ch10 Yours)

Summary:

“I am going to kill you.” Lance was seeing red. His fingers wrapped so tightly around the blade in his hand, it felt like an extension of his own body.

“Not today, little lion.”

“If you fucking touch him I will –“

The Galra was suddenly leaning down – his yellow eyes only inches away from Lance’s. His words, a whisper in Lance’s ear: A threat; a promise. “Oh, I am not going to touch him. He is the half-breed son of the woman who murdered my sister. He is the leader of Voltron. No, I am not going to touch him…I am going to break him.”

Or: Two years after season 8, a Blade mission goes wrong, and Keith is perceived to be dead. Lance refuses to believe that, and goes in search of him. What he finds, however, is worse than anything he imagined.

You can read it here (mind the tags - there’s some heavy topics):

chapter 8 of "chasing stars and memories" by @erithel

[badsongpetey]

My submission for @erithel 's Gone comic contest 💜 This comic is such moving story of trauma, sacrifice, and love (with a happy ending), and it's been very special to me. She has these reoccurring themes of reflections: how two people can experience the same event very differently; and how trauma can be reflected back at you even after the event is over. Probably the image that hit me the hardest was Lance collapsing in the shower, overwhelmed. It's so real. And the idea of him trying and not being able to take comfort in his element (water), is so poignant. Erithel is an amazing artist. Go read Gone and follow her if you aren't already 🥰

So In an alternate reality somewhere, if the writers of VLD decided, for whatever reason, make the klance ship canon, how would they write it? Or how would you have liked them to write it?

Oddly enough I actually have one very specific idea that has been in my brain since before season 8 aired. And I do actually feel like it would have fit in with the show, like canonically.

So, okay:

Shows like AtLA and Korra had a silly recap episode in their last season. And I had the thought "what if VLD did the same thing?"

The basic premise of the recap episode is Lance telling his family about everything that happened to them while with Voltron.

At first he starts out in his usual Lance manner - bragging a bit, putting on a show - but then as he keeps going, he starts to talk more seriously. He tells them about all the intense and scary stuff they went through, and he really starts to speak from the heart.

Afterwards we get to see his family's reaction - and they are all just... sitting there, staring at him.

And Lance is like "What? Why are you all looking at me like that?"

And Rachel (maybe) smirks at him. "Wow. You really must like that Keith guy, huh?"

And Lance is even more confused, until Veronica goes over to him and is like "Lance...you realize that 90% of what you told us was about Keith, right?"

Basically, as Lance is telling his family about their adventures, it turns into him recapping everything with this intense focus on what Keith was doing (and how it made Lance feel) - "Keith got my lion back" and "Keith says we had a bonding moment but -" and "And then he just left us, can you believe it?" and "Keith was in the Altean ship and he looked so different - bigger and cooler and handsome."

The episode would end with him having a realization of how much Keith actually meant to him - and the following episodes of the final season, we would get to see Lance fully coming to embrace the idea that he had always had these feelings for Keith. And all he needed was a bit of outside perspective to nudge him in the direction of what he truly wanted and needed.

And the thing is, it actually would have been really easy, because all they would have needed to do was continue what they started. There were so many moments in the early seasons that were alluding to something more between Keith and Lance.

And to start the show with Lance being a cocky womanizer and ending it with him actually realizing he was bisexual and he had found a much deeper connection with his former rival - chef's kiss.

Making klance canon would have been easy to write, and it would have explained why so many things focused on the two of them in ways that definitely did not feel just platonic. Why Lance was so depressed while Keith was gone. Why he was always so worried and, like, protective over Keith when he went off to do something alone and reckless. Why he went so far out of his way to watch the sunset with Keith. Why did they really pick each other in the game show? Why did Keith really leave the team after his "one paladin too many" conversation with Lance? Why a thousand more things that are slipping my brain right now.

I believe there were certain restrictions from the studios on what they were willing/able to show, but it's not like they had to explicitly show klance making out or something to prove they were together. If they had actually been able to canonically have klance be endgame, I think they would have ended it similar to Korra. Where Keith and Lance would just have a moment where they take each others hands and smile at one another - or something equally as subtle.

On a more personal "my particular vibe" note, I would have liked them to write it to include things like:

Keith going full on rage Galra, and Lance having to sword fight him back to himself

The two of them having a much needed emotional conversation - with yelling and crying - where they learned how close they both came to actually permanently dying.

Lance and Allura having an emotional conversation about how they wanted to be friends with each other - because that's equally as important as having a love interest.

Keith and Lance fighting back to back on the ground in a final, epic showdown.

Basically just overall more emotions and character interactions tbh

The thing that I think bugged so many fans - and why this ship/this show is still a sore spot for many people - is because they were building something that had to do with klance in the beginning, and they just didn't follow through.

But if they had just continued in the direction they were headed, I fully believe klance would have been canon because it would have been so easy to make happen.

do u happen to know any fics that have a klance in an established relationship prior to s1 that documents their relationship as a couple throughout canon?

phenomenal concept - k

you came back like a wave by wheo (1/1 | 15,014 | Teen and Up)

“Why did you leave?” Keith flinches. His shoulders have gotten broader, Lance notices, and his jacket sits kind of weird on them now. There's a strand of hair covering his eye and Lance wants to tuck it away. “Are you talking about Voltron or the Garrison?” Lance breathes in. Breathes out. Ebb and flow. “I’m talking about me.”

mi corazón de cenicero by lemoninagin (1/1 | 10,637 | Explicit)

At the Garrison, they’re nothing more than two apparent strangers, two classmates in different fields with different goals in mind. Two people with different social circles and interests, two people just trying to get by in life. But during the night, the town belongs to them.

What If You're Someone I Just Want Around by ErithEl (1/1 | 14,323 | Teen and Up)

Five times Lance asked Keith to stay, and one time Keith asked Lance. Or: “Where are you planning to go?” When Lance’s voice came, there was no laughter in it. Keith clutched the strap of his backpack, shaking his head. “Nowhere. Away. I don’t know. It doesn’t matter.” “I have an alternative.”

@erithel ♥️

That feeling tho when you find that fic writer that just absolutely fucking

understands the characters to their core

writes so well they–just so–they just—their writing is—-THEY WRITE GOOD

shatters your bad mood with a new update

writes a fic that you can read over again and still clutch at your heart like HOLY SHIT I FUCKING LOVE–I LOVE THIS FIC

writes a scene that has you all giddy in public and that one random stranger asks you like “ooo you are smiling :) :) is that a boy :) you are talking to :)” and you’re like “no I’m reading a Everybody Lives/Nobody Dies AU, please leave”

understands and portrays the characters better than the people who make MOVIES with those characters

amazing. just amazing. fic writers are awesome

WIP Tag Game!

If you’re tagged, make a new post (instead of reblogging) and share 1-2 sentences from your most recent WIPs with no context— Let your followers guess! (in the answers or in the asks, as you wish)

Thank you for the tag, @kotias!

No one has to guess, honestly. I don't think I've really discussed anything about my current WIPs. But I will still be happy to share them!

WIP 1 - GO

"Have I hurt you?" For those to be the first words Aziraphale offered in all those years..

WIP 2 - GO

"Well, now! Look'it what the Devil’s gone and spit up." "I beg your pardon!" The high-pitched inflection of the word coupled with the clearly shocked look provided ample evidence of just how offended Ms. Fell was at the very implication.

WIP 3 - VLD

"Kch. I knew from the moment I saw you on that field… It was never the blood that drives you, is it?" "Uh.. n-no."

Tagging: @aidaran-alha, @demonsandpieohmy, and @erithel if you would like to share! And, of course, anyone else that would like to join in!
