Galra Headcanon

- Galra are all intersex (if you want ABO moment then feel free to change it) and the genes for this is dominant so it shows up even in half galra

- the smaller the Galra the more fertile (took this idea from magic wielding Jotunn)

- Keith is very very tiny according to the bom

- when lotor first met Keith he immediately started attempting to court him

—— this is NOT bc love at first sight but rather bc he wants strong, pretty, quintessence-sensitive heirs (so he also tried to discretely court Allura at the same time. PS he got decked twice.)

[evilcarmona]

Okay, do you also like AUs in which Lance is an Altean Druid who meets the other characters during the attack on Arus?

(It doesn't change Keith's backstory. For some reason I don't like stories where he lived in space or something like that from the beginning.)

(AND WHITE HAIR

*breathes heavily*

I LOVE WHITE HAIR SO MUCH)

[discordiansamba]

Krolia: As you know, the Galra take adoptive familial bonds very seriously.

Shiro: I have heard this, yes.

Krolia: Now, it would not matter as much if you were not also Galra now. However, since you are, and since you have claimed Keith as your brother, that now makes me your mother.

Shiro: ...I am still wrapping my head around that idea, but I guess that tracks with everything I've learned?

Krolia: Excellent. Which is why you are also grounded Shiro.

(Adam is trying very hard not to laugh in the background. Keith is not even trying to hide it, even though he is also extremely grounded.)

Eveyd, a 315 year-old half-elf druid, blocks your path. (Keith Parkinson cover for AD&D adventure To Find a King by Bob Blake, including four first round tournament adventures run at Gen Con XVI, TSR, 1985)

"Two centuries ago, the last king of the celtic kingdom of Pelham was deposed in favor of a High Council. Now, however, things are going badly, and a restless populace longs for the days of the ancient kingship. The High Council is floundering -- and the political situation is turning ugly." This teaser text from the back cover has an unusual use of lower case "celtic" as a thematic description of one realm in a fantasy world without Celts.

VLDS4E3: Black Site

Season 4, Episode 03: Black Site

Transcript by @violethowler

Summary: “An internal struggle for power erupts within the Galra. Pidge returns to the castle with some precious cargo. The team gets a cow.”

[Google Doc]

Druid: “High Priestess. You’re needed.”

[Cut to an interrogation room.]

Druid: “Why hide the identity of those who attacked your base. Give us the information.”

Throk: “I’m telling you, it must have been Lotor.”

Druid: “He appears to have no ability to recall what happened.”

Haggar: “No one can completely wipe a memory away. There are always remnants buried deep within to claw out.”

Haggar: “Why would Prince Lotor attack a base when he could walk in and take whatever he desires?”

Throk: “I don’t know.”

Druid: “The prince was the one who banished him to the Ulippa system. He must be trying to stain Prince Lotor’s reputation.”

Haggar: “Perhaps. Continue the interrogation.”

[Scene change to Olkarion.]

Coran: “Scuse me. Coming through.”

Coran: “Just right in there. They’ll get you sorted out.”

Allura: “Is that the last of them, Coran?”

Coran: “That’s it. A few hundred more souls looking for a new home.”

Shiro: “A few hundred more soldiers in the fight against the Galra.”

Hunk: “Hey, Pidge is back!”

Pidge: “Hey, everybody. This is my brother, Matt.”

Matt: “Hey, everybody.”

Pidge: “Matt, this is Hunk, Lance, and Coran.”

Hunk: “Hey.”

Lance: “Nice to meet you.”

Coran: “Pleasure.”

Pidge: “And this is Princess Allura of Altea.”

Matt: “Whoooooa.”

Allura: “It is so wonderful to finally meet you, Matt.”

Matt: “Oh my goodness! You are so beautiful! It is my honor to meet you, Princess.”

Matt: “Shiro?”

Matt: “It’s so good to see you! Um, Sir.”

Shiro: “Pidge never gave up on finding you.”

Matt: “Yeah, she can be pretty stubborn at times.”

Shiro: “And I want you to know that all of us will help you find your father.”

Matt: “Thanks.”

Pidge: “Matt, this is the Castle of Lions.”

Matt: “Whoa. Nice ship.”

Pidge: “Let me take you on a tour!”

[Scene change to Galra central command.]

Haggar: “I am pleased to see you back on your throne again, sire. I’m afraid that Lotor has not taken his duties as heir to your empire seriously, my lord. Vast stretches of territory have fallen to Voltron and a growing group of insurgents.”

Zarkon: “Your decision to place him on the throne was ill-advised. But no matter. I am returned. It is time to relieve my wayward son of his duties.”

[Scene change to the Castle of Lions.]

Pidge: “This is where all the magic happens.

Matt: “Whoa. Impressive.”

Pidge: “This is where I sit.”

Matt: “Awesome!”

Pidge: “And this opens up, and that takes me to a speeder, and that loads into my lion.”

Pidge: “And this is where Allura stands. And then these little glow-y pillars rise up, and she uses Altean magic that links her to that crystal, and the crystal powers the ship and then she uses this thing called a Teludav to make wormholes.

Matt: “Ah!”

[Cut to the training deck.]

Pidge: “This is our training room. It has invisible walls and you can fight robots!”

[Cut to a hologram room.]

Pidge: “This is our cow.”

Matt: “How did you get—Whoa!”

[Cut to the kitchen.]

Pidge: “This is our kitchen! Here’s where the food goo comes out!”

Matt: “Hey, this is pretty goo-d.”

[Scene change to various shots of Pidge showing Matt around the castle before changing to the castle’s lounge.]

Pidge: “And this is the lounge. Y’know… Where we just hang. Just… Voltron paladins, hanging out.”

Hunk: “Hey, Hey! I made celebratory milkshakes for you two! Just a little welcome gift to Matt from me and Kaltenecker, no big deal.”

Hunk: “Fun fact about Alteans, they don’t get brain freeze. Coran and Allura just totally hoovered up their shakes in one slurp. Ah, I’ve uh- never seen anything like it before.”

Hunk: “So, like, what’ve you been doing since you got busted out of Galra prison?”

Matt: “I’ve been stationed at a listening outpost, monitoring Galra radio chatter.”

Hunk: “Are you serious? Then you should totally check out the Galra finder Pidge built. We used it to track down a Galra fleet and save a planet.”

Pidge: “Hunk made the locator that led us to the first Voltron Lion, and we just built an upgraded version of it to track Lotor.”

Matt: “Wow, Pidge. Dad would be so proud if he could see what you’ve done here.”

[Scene change to Lotor’s flagship]

Acxa: “My lord, we just received a message from central command. Emperor Zarkon requires your presence immediately.”

Lotor: “Very well. Prepare a ship.”

Ezor: “Do you think he’s onto us?”

Lotor: “No. My father is simply ready to return to the throne. He can have it. Our plans have not changed.”

Lotor: “Narti, come with me. The rest of you, continue to oversee construction. I will return shortly.”

[Scene change Kaltenecker’s room in the Castle of Lions.]

Allura: “Hello.”

Coran: “Hope we’re not interrupting.”

Allura: “I don’t believe we’ve been properly introduced. I am Princess Allura, and this is Coran.”

Coran: “Pleasure.”

Coran: “Uh, quite lovely in here.”

Allura: “Rather.”

Coran: “Is this, uh… Well, how do you find living on the castle with us? Pleasant, I hope?”

Allura: “If there’s anything I can do to make your stay here more to your liking, please do not hesitate to ask.”

Coran: “It’s her ship, so…”

Coran: “We were actually just enjoying these milkshakes that you made for us.”

Allura: “Positively divine, really.”

Coran: “And to be honest, we were wondering…. Now, we don’t want to impose at all, of course. But… if it wouldn’t be too much …”

Allura: “Could we have some more, please?”

Allura: “Can he… understand us?”

Coran: “I think he’s been insulted. We’d best just back away.”

Coran: “Well, we’ll be off, now. Enjoy your… area.”

[Scene change to Galra central command]

Haggar: “Welcome, Prince Lotor. Please, follow me.”

[Cut to Zarkon’s throne room]

Lotor: “Father, it gives me such pleasure that you have made a full recovery. You look stronger than I’ve ever-“

Zarkon: “Silence. I did not bring you here to waste time with your flattery.”

Zarkon: “You are relieved of your position, effective immediately.”

Lotor: “Lord, I beg you. Do not discard me. Let me stay by your side.”

Zarkon: “Your short reign will be regarded as a black spot on the empire for years to come.”

Lotor: “Of course my efforts at ruling the universe seem feeble beside your inestimable accomplishments. But perhaps, if you were to train me, I could learn.”

Zarkon: “You are no longer needed.”

Lotor: “As you wish.”

Haggar: “Something is amiss with Lotor. I sensed a powerful energy on him when he entered. Something ancient.”

Zarkon: “He is no longer my concern.”

[Cut to Haggar watching Narti as she and Lotor depart from central command before cutting to them in Lotor’s ship as they fly through space].

Lotor: “Run the protocol to search for trackers.”

Lotor: “Transpose the dynamics and run that protocol again.”

Lotor: “You think you can fool me, witch?”

Lotor: “Destroy the bug.”

[Scene change to the Castle of Lions].

Matt: “This is a pretty sweet algorithm for locating Galra targets within a statistically acceptable margin of error. And I love that you color coded it. Because what are we, animals?”

Hunk: “You two are definitely related.”

Matt: “Hunk, using the Fraunhofer lines to track Voltron and then the comet? That’s genius!”

Hunk: “Oh, well. Yeah. I try.”

Matt: “They say that Fraunhofer was the greatest glassmaker in Europe. And that when he died, he took all his greatest recipes to the grave with him.”

Hunk: “I want a Fraunhofer glass.”

Matt: “So check this out. This is all the relevant data from my time with the rebels. I think if we plug this info into the setup you’ve got here, it might fill in the gaps. Then, we might just have the best anti-Galra intelligence mining operation in this or any other reality.”

Hunk: “This one time, we went to another reality. Pretty lame.”

Matt: “Wait. You what? You… Were in a different reality?”

Pidge: “No big deal.”

Matt: “My little sister.”

[Scene change to the castle’s video game room].

Lance: “C’mon.”

Coran: “Lance, could you assist us for a moment?”

Lance: “Not now!”

Coran: “Okay.”

Allura: “We were wondering if you could possible assist us in getting a milkshake.”

Coran: “We tried to negotiate some on our own, but we’ve run into a bit of difficulty with Kaltenecker.”

Lance: “Alright. Let’s go.”

[Cut to Kaltenecker’s area.]

Lance: “Well first off, Kaltenecker is a girl.”

Allura: “Oh, I see.”

Coran: “Apologies, madam.”

Lance: “Right. And she’s a cow, so she can’t understand you.”

Coran: “Okay, communication issues.”

Lance: “Also, she doesn’t make milkshakes, she needs to be milked. Let me show you. Watch and learn.”

Lance: “It’s so thick! It’s almost like a milkshake right now.”

Lance: “It’s not your fault, Kaltenecker. You’re a beautiful girl, and this is very natural.”

[Scene change to Lotor’s flagship.]

Ezor: “How’d it go? Are you fired?”

Lotor: “I’m afraid I was relieved of my command, yes.”

Acxa: “The second ship is complete and ready for testing. The sentries are just making some final adjustments.”

Lotor: “Excellent.”

[Cut to Haggar’s lab at central command.]

Acxa: “Sixty percent of the comet’s material has been used in the production of the first two ships my lord. We will have more than enough for the creation of the third.”

Lotor: “Well done, Acxa.”

Haggar: “No!”

[Cut to Zarkon’s throne room.]

Haggar: “My lord, somehow Lotor has gotten his hands on a trans-reality comet.”

Zarkon: “What?”

Haggar: “And worse, it appears he is building ships from the ore.”

Zarkon: “The only reason to keep them secret is to use them against the empire. But we will strike first. Mobilize the fleet! Hunt down Prince Lotor.”

[Scene change to the Castle of Lions.]

Matt: “I think we’ve just about got it.”

Matt: “Alright!”

Hunk: “Yes!”

Pidge: “Wow!”

Hunk: “This is unbelievable. We’re tracking Galra fleet movements almost live.”

Pidge: “I think I know a few tweaks we can do to extend our range.”

Matt: “Hold on, Pidge.”

Pidge: “What’s up?”

Matt: “It’s a scrambled message. I’ve collected hundreds of ‘em. I never crack ‘em.”

Pidge: “Let me see.”

Pidge: “I’m guessing this isn’t just a simple number for letter swap.”

Matt: “I’ve run these through every decryption technology I can think of. And I’ve spent days with just the numbers and a Galra language log. Nothing.”

Hunk: “Maybe they’re not words. Maybe they’re just numbers?”

Pidge: “Maybe… They’re a frequency…”

Matt: “A quantum signal that broadcasts other signals to go to? It’s too high. These are more than three thousand giga-hertz.”

Pidge: “Invert it.”

Matt: “What?”

Pidge: “For every wave we receive there’s only partial transmittance, right?”

Hunk: “Oh! Right, yeah! So we figure the transmission coefficient…”

Matt: “And tune for the frequency of the reflected wave!”

Matt: “Alright!”

Pidge: “Woohoo! Yeah!”

Galra Officer: “Members of the Seventh, Eighth, Eleventh, Twelfth, and Fourteenth fleets, assemble to rally point Troxlite immediately. Engage target at coordinates in next transmission. By order of Emperor Zarkon.”

Hunk: “Zarkon is alive?”

Pidge: “Guys, look at this.”

Matt: “I’ve never seen troop mobilization on this level before.”

Hunk: “What are they attacking?”

Pidge: “That’s just it. As far as I can tell, nothing. There are no planets, no rebel ships, no Blade of Marmora bases, nothing.”

[Cut to the bridge.]

Allura: “Whoever they’re attacking, we have to help them!”

Shiro: “I don’t like it. We should be gathering intelligence, not diving into a fight without knowing why. Especially now that we know that Zarkon is alive.”

Pidge: “We could go check it out.”

Lance: “I think they’d probably notice us.”

Pidge: “Not if we’re cloaked.”

Matt: “You have cloaking? Who are you!?”

Shiro: “I’m not sure it’s safe for just the Green Lion.”

Pidge: “I’m pretty sure I can upgrade Voltron with cloaking. We could all go.”

Lance: “Were you just waiting for your big brother to show up before you rolled that one out?”

Pidge: “It’s something I’ve been working on for a while, but I can’t pilot the green lion and operate the cloaking at the same time. But if I had a co-pilot…”

Matt: “Absolutely!”

Shiro: “Let’s get to the lines.”

[Scene change to Lotor’s flagship.]

Lotor: “What’s happening?”

Zethrid: “A Galra fleet is attacking us!”

Lotor: “Return fire!”

Zethrid: “Wait. There’s another fleet! And another one! We can’t hold them all off!”

[Cut to the ship’s hangar.]

Lotor: “Prepare the Sincline ships for takeoff. Load the comet into mine. We’re leaving!”

[Cut to outside the ship.]

Shiro: We’re getting close. Everyone, get ready.”

Pidge: “Go ahead. Run the cloaking subroutine.”

Matt: “Got it. Initializing cloak. I’m not sure how long we can keep this up.”

Allura: “Alright. Let’s see who the Galra are attacking.”

Lance: “What the cheese? It’s Galra on Galra violence. Again!”

Hunk: “Oh, these people just do not like each other.”

[Cut back to inside Lotor’s flagship.]

Lotor: “Divert all power to defenses. Hold the attack off until we’re away. Then, scuttle the ship.”

Acxa: “How did they find us?”

Zethrid: “We must have been tracked.”

[Cut back to outside the ship.]

Pidge: “Whose ships are those?”

Allura: “It’s Lotor.”

Shiro: “Lotor and Zarkon must be battling for control of the empire.”

Hunk: “Guys, those ships are getting awfully close.”

Matt: “Uh oh. The trails from Lotor’s ship drives messed with our cloaking spectrum.”

Pidge: Can you find a workaround?”

Shiro: “It’s too late. Our cover’s been blow. We may need to engage!”

Shiro: “Hunk, use your Bayard!”

Hunk: “You got it.”

Shiro: “Alright, that’ll hold them. Let’s get out of here.”

[Cut to inside the Sincline ships.]

Acxa: “Sir, we’re picking up a transmission.”

[Cut to Zarkon’s flagship and change between shots of various characters listening and reacting to Zarkon’s broadcast.]

Zarkon: “Attention citizens of the Galra empire. From this day forward, my son Lotor is to be regarded as a fugitive criminal of the empire. All citizens are authorized to use deadly force to stop him or any of his soldiers. I repeat, Prince Lotor is an enemy of the state. Engage with extreme prejudice. Kill on sight.”

End.

The Druid Stone (Abraxsis) by Keith Parkinson

[mosscreeper-ao3]

I was correct in my assessment that the James whumptober fic was going to be one of the most challenging things I've ever written.

[narumakiii]

silence followed as the raven tried to regain his composure, breathing rapid & shaky yet he wouldn't take the offered seat. instead he rather carelessly sat down on the floor palm pressed to sternum. usually the pressure was able to take off the edge from anxiety / panic that keith dealt with occasionally but today it seemed to be NOT ENOUGH . it's been a couple of rather hectic & isolated weeks as he's realized he was needed out there. didn't belong to earth really ; a crackle of that cursed druidic magic alight under skin. his hues colored the same purple but void of usual malicious shade, keith lifted up his knees. face pressed into them.

her reassurance freely given without knowing what burdened her team mate, was greatly appreciated. breath hitching ever so lightly he sat soaking in her presence before his tongue seemed to remember how to form syllables.

❛  you know that . . we've always said that we're family right ?   ❜ promises remembered from back then when matt had jokingly ADOPTED younger keith into the holt family & his parents hadn't denied it one bit. ❛  we still are , aren't we ? even with all that's happened . . with what i am & with my heritage . . ?  ❜ the doubts have been ruthless as they had burned the pilot ; their shadows EVER DARK . ( . . tell them or i will . . ) matt's voice from that day, the memory haunting keith nearly daily.

no one had noticed. he should tell her though ; depending on if he'd find the strength & opportunity to do so. he already felt way too vulnerable asking for more than just THEIR FRIENDSHIP . pidge has always been like a little sister, always will be.

❝ Gotta love those zealots, huh. ❞ Sarcasm drips from her tone of voice, a common occurrence for the genius. While it's left unsaid, she's confident that said mission will have a greater chance of success with Keith on board. There's no questioning his reliability.

❝ An ANDROID. The intelligence that goes in to making an android is way different than making a robot. Trust me. ❞ She corrects him, nearly going into the details, but resists the urge to dump all of the information hoarded in her head. A topic of interest could leave Pidge going on for hours, and neither of them have the time for it. Maybe another day. Turning back towards her work, a hand clears desk of stray pieces of eraser shavings and crumpled paper. ❝ There's still a lot to perfect before building the foundation of its programming, but I think Matt and I can make it work. ❞

After staring at it for so long, there's a sense of distortion in the design. A fresh set of eyes will surely do this project good. Normally, she would ask for an opinion or feedback from the other, but something has felt off since the moment he walked in. And her gut feeling is proven right when he begins to break down. Knowing him, this is likely the culmination of weeks of rumination and self-doubt. ❝ Hey, sit down and breathe. ❞ She soothes him, immediately lifting up from her chair, and offering it him without hesitation. ❝ Whatever it is you're doubting about yourself now—it's all crap. You're more than just a leader to us, Keith. ❞

[callmelyc]

This is a Lance based on a langst/slow burn klance au where he goes undercover and gains a second scar right over his pre-existing one.

So the gist of this au is that Lance is sent alone to attempt to investigate a partial lead on a massive druid energy harvesting operation. No one else they've sent in has managed to get in deep enough but they note that all the ppl who do (none affiliated with the coalition) have scars that the Queen on this planet favors.

One such scar is a back scar which Lance just so happens to have and they send him as a tourist to see if it gains attention. It does and he ends up deep undercover alone and with no contact. During his stay he quickly gains the queens favor as his back scar mirrors one on her favorite gods from her home planet, the god of freedom Asteus.

This god gave up his freedom (his wings thus the back scar) so that their people could gain eternity so she grows possessive of lance, thinks his freedom is hers to harvest.

She starts calling him by the name Asteus and brands his back taking not only his voice (so he can't share any information he's learned) but his freedom and life energy.

The brand is a tracker, a seal, and a quintessence drain. Lance is unable to escape alone and has all the information the coalition needs to save millions.

He's freed by the aid of two others also trapped by the queen (two that were too weak to take the same brand) and Keith holds lance close as the brand is removed through the silent scream and tears.

It scars though and lance hates it, he won't look at it, has lost confidence bc of it. He has lost parts of himself to the trauma. It's Keith that helps him learn to heal, it's Keith that helps him as a support and helps him learn to be empowered again by not concealing the scar as it continues to fade.

Keith gifts Lance jewelery made of gold to drape across his back to help him feel beautiful again To help him feel free (bc it's his choice to wear or show the scar with pride and the gold helps lance see that he doesn't have to fear it anymore, bc he is safe)

Dark ik but it's a very dramatic au like the word doc for it has 5k words of just info in it. It's a mystery mostly but with the added langst (and slow burn kl) there's so much more to it but this scene wouldn't leave my head so I drew it

A gift of love and care that lance wears as he learns to heal again. I will be writing it one day but it's still in the planning phases.

[rorimoon9597]

Has anyone realised that Keith had an actual sixth sense and that it's NOT explained in the show at all?

In s1 ep1, he says that he was drawn out to the desert because of some strange energy that he could feel. None of the other characters are shown to have this ability except for non human characters. Then, when he's going to find Red, he literally feels for her energy while the others had to look for markings or (in Pidge's case) use a device to track down their lions. And he just- felt for her energy and followed it???

Then there's that fight when he's got to choose between getting the teleduv part or going after Lotor's generals and he feels for the energy of the blast and moves Voltron so that the teleduv part gets hit instead???

Then in season 7, in the episode 'The Ruins', when they're fighting a guy who used to be a Druid, the Druid guy is teleporting all over the place and Keith just- feels for where he's going then throws his blade into the guys chest and kills him????

This is such a cool ability, and I think Keith's Galra traits should have been explored in the show, cause the writers were missing out on some REALLY cool things with Keith.

Like yeah, Allura being able to do Alchemy things is cool, but what about Keith and his odd abilities? I really, really want those to have been explored more.

Oh well. More self-indulgent fic writing for me, I guess.

[disgruntled-screaming]

It is shocking how much death is in Voltron: Legendary Defender. I understand that this show has the plot of a war. But Season 8 literally started with an Altean having a heart attack and dying on a medical table.

Ulaz sacrifices himself for team Voltron.

The Blade of Marmora were practically slaughtered by a random Druid. (I know he fought Keith in season... 1? 2? One of the two.)

There was also that random planet of alien deer. Gone in an instant thanks to Haggar.

Like, shit. I think the Galra have killed more than the Fire Nation. I'm impressed yet terrified.

[dewi205]

What if…

Since Keith can sense Quintessence maybe he can also manipulate it.

Keith can see and feel the way quintessence moved when Allura, Haggar, and the druids use it. So he self taught himself how to use it.

The following is a headcanon of an abandoned fanfic (We Rescue Each Other by Angelicat2 [13/?])

While being tortured and experimented on by Haggar, Keith learned to enhance his senses one by one and also speed up his healing processes. He enhances his hearing the most since he can eavesdrop on the conversations around him when he is paralyzed on the medical table. Using this method he manages to self-teach himself how to manipulate quintessence and absorb other people’s quintessence. Every time he gets r*ped he takes 10-15 deca-phobes of their life and leaves them a virus within their quintessence’s to kill them faster. While in the room with Shiro he also trained his quintessence manipulation Bu speeding up Shiro’s healing and stopping most of the pain from the wounds (this is without Shiro’s knowledge simply because Keith forgot to tell him). When they get rescued by Ulaz and transported to the Marmora base Kolivan doubts Keith and Shiro’s loyalty. Keith doesn’t want Ulaz to get in trouble for saving them and therefore abandoning his mission to get into Haggar’s inner circle so he asks what information they need and proceeds to give them everything he overheard while being experimented on and even on what Zarkon accidentally revealed while he was (in a room) nearby. He got the Marmora enough information to have multiple operatives removed from their undercover missions and posted elsewhere. Shiro is enamored with his competent half-Galran boyfriend.

Icy Fic Recs

I was recently asked for some Langst fanfic recs and as noted in that I don't really read fanfiction anymore outside of my own stories, but here are a few I've read in the last ~few months if anyone was looking for a Langsty fic :) Sorted alphabetically!

Caged Nightmare

Summary: The cage is far, far too small to fit Lance, but the Galrans still force him into it. He’s then loaded like a piece of cargo on a ship bound for a cruel, painful destination and the journey to get there is just as harsh. As Lance floats in and out of consciousness over the days he comes to the conclusion that he’s dreaming when Keith of all people appears in the cargo hold (on a ship in the middle of space) to rescue him. But maybe that’s because it’s no dream at all. It has to be a nightmare because there is nothing crueler than false hope like this. But it seems so real and maybe… maybe he’s not dreaming after all.

Crimson Puddle

Summary:  Lance tried to stop it. He did. But the blood just keeps coming; gushing, oozing. It’s everywhere now; his leg, his hands, all over the floor. The crimson puddle keeps growing while he only grows weaker, the world going dark and cold and numb. And he never… he never thought he’d die like this.

Feel Me, See Me (Or Please, Please Don’t) (I always read for Halloween!)

Summary: When an attack goes wrong Lance ends up trapped in a dimensional plane separated from his team. But he’s not alone. The Druid they’d been fighting is there too. Lance’s bond with his fellow Paladins is the key to getting home, but the Druid isn’t going to let Lance so easily escape and leave him behind. He needs to subdue Lance, to use him as his own ticket back. And when you pit a Druid capable of teleporting and summoning magic against an injured, near defenseless human? Let the hunt begin.

Feel My Pain

Summary: “Your friends are going to watch you hang here,” the alien kicked the stool Lance was precariously balanced on, “until you can’t anymore. And then,” his grin was sharp and cruel, “they’ll watch you die. Helpless to do anything. Helpless to save you. And they’ll get to experience a sliver of the pain I’m in knowing that my brother is gone,” his voice cracked, “and I’ll never see him again. This is all I want and all you can offer, Paladin. No apologies. No reparations. Just your pain and theirs.”

Holding On To Hope (Chaptered)

Summary: There’s a traitor in the Coalition.

Lance is the only one who manages to escape the subsequent trap but the rest of his team is captured and they're counting on him to save them, but Lance knows he can't do it alone (he can't seem to do anything right). The Coalition cannot be trusted to help, but there are some people above reproach amongst the Rebels and Blades and now it's up to Lance, Coran, Matt and Keith to save everyone.

Only, that is, if there's anyone left to save.

Koala Hugs

Summary: They’d been told that the guest houses were supposed to keep them safe from the deadly low temperatures of the planet. And while for Pidge that is indeed the case, she learns it’s not so for Lance as she’s awoken by a projection of pure terror from the Blue Lion, who can sense her Paladin dying. And now as Pidge hurries to Lance’s guest house and finds him so so cold and still, she can only hope she’s not too late.

In the Name of Love (chaptered; also always read this every year for Halloween!)

Summary: Lance just wanted to buy a flower. Instead he's now the newest victim of a serial killer who has no plans to release him until he has served his purpose. Lance may be a Paladin but he's got a higher calling in life now. And it starts with his death. / "Do not try and resist again," his captor warned, "You will not like the consequences." Lance's voice cracked. "Like being eaten?"

Only a Crack in this Castle of Glass

Summary: Something strange is going on with Lance. The wincing and shivering and worried, scared glances in Allura’s direction mean something and Hunk is going to get to the bottom of it. But nothing could have prepared him for what he found. / “Allura was in trouble. And I… I shielded her. Me and Red. And… and we got hit. And…” Lance audibly swallowed again, voice even quieter and Hunk felt faint. “And I… I died.”

Or; the missing scene fic where Hunk (and the rest of Team Voltron) discover Lance died at Omega Shield and what this now means for them all.

Summary: The explosion came out of nowhere. One second Lance was rounding a corner in the Galra Empire base, bayard drawn and steps quick and light. And the next the ground was rippling beneath him, the walls were buckling, the ceiling caving and…

And now…

Now there's a slab of wall lying completely across his entire upper body, a pipe sticking out of his lower left arm, the ceiling groaning and ready to finish coming down and Lance has no idea how he's getting out of here. He's... he's not certain he actually can.

Sometimes I think about druid halfling Keith whom Haggar favors and a traitor prince Lotor who rips him away from her influence and takes him for his own, at first only for his immense magical power but then something more
