Hear me out:

Shance

But Lance likes crossdressing as a woman {Ya'll can make up his "female" name lol}. So much so that everyone thinks he's a woman the entire time because they met him when he was crossdressing nearly 90% of the time.

At some point Shiro {or if ya wanna be really fucking angsty, Kuro/Kuron} finds out Lance is actually just a dude that likes crossdressing, and promises to keep it a secret.

Platonic or romantic? Your choice!

Would Lance wear wigs when crossdressing? Yes!

Would Lance wear makeup when crossdressing?

YES!!!

Basically like a "Reverse Pidge" situation. But it's only happened because he's a crossdresser XD

⚔👒🗡

So I actually have a little idea about that ⚔️👒🗡️ ot3 (EGGHEAD ARC SPOILERS)

Seraphim!Zoro was the first human clone prototype Vegapunk did but he was just, dumped in some cell like a prisoner for any random testing. Until the marines attacked egghead and his cell was opened and he saw Luffy and Zoro fighting alongside one another. Seeing Luffy, he felt something stir within him. something familiar and pleasant. Excitement and delight. So when Zoro and Luffy defeated Lucci and they has a short respite, that's when 'Prototype' popped up and started to follow Luffy like a lost puppy and everyone got spooked for a minute thinking its one of the warlord pacifistas but Luffy saw he looks like Zoro. 'Prototype' is what Seraphim!Zoro was called by the vegapunk crew. Zoro's dna was used and his fighting data back at east blue was also used. Vegapunk tried to imbue him with an artificial devil fruit but his DNA keeps strongly rejecting it. So 'Prototype' is considered a failure by vegapunk but still uses him as a test subject. 'Prototype' was still being given updates in battle memory as they follow Zoro's improvement as a pirate and as time passes. Not to mention, Moria once lent a helping had to vegapunk who also studied and analyzed every move the Ryuma zombie made and fed that info to 'prototype' so his skills are also a no joke. Not to mention,

the Seraphim!Mihawk trains with Seraphim!Zoro. Which was only one of the reasons they kept prototype around.

Vega punk also made an imitation of Shusui that 'prototype' uses.

So prototype is very much like a quiet puppy. Feral when in battle but keeps to himself and is calm when not in battle. another reason Vegapunk deemed him a failure for not being aggressive like the successful new pacifista seraphims.

Vegapunk told Luffy not to worry about 'prototype' and that he's a failure and he will get rid of him but Luffy got mad and almost punched the vegapunk that said it. Luffy then saying, " DON'T TREAT HIM LIKE SOME ITEM. THAT'S ZORO'S CLONE. " covering 'prototype' protectively.

Vegapunk not really having a care for his failed experiemnts, just, told luffy he can have him.

So seraphim!zoro joins the crew. His name being give to him by Zoro - after Luffy's endless coercion LOL- Shiro. since his hair is white. The crew even scolding him to think of a proper name, that shiro makes it sound like Zoro is just naming a dog. But luffy likes it so they go with that.

Once Shiro joins joins the crew, Shiro eventually develops his personality to be closer to Zoro although, more quiet and stoic than Zoro.

Shiro also has sense of direction, but only because vegapunk made sure the seraphim intellect is high to create detailed tactics for war and battle.

Lance snaps the last piece on — a dorky fingerless leather glove — and smiles, satisfied. He observes the rest of his handiwork and can’t help a single nod.

Damn, he’s a whiz with a sewing machine.

“Don’t get too big of a head,” Pidge mutters, adjusting her new go-go boots. “This is still the dumbest thing any one of us has done ever.”

Hunk snorts. “Speak for yourself.”

That is fair. Lance has caught Hunk negotiating both of his kidneys for a particularly rare machine part.

“It’s still stupid,” Pidge insists.

To her credit, she’s probably right. It had started as a bit. A dumbass, one-off bit that Lance cooked up one random day, after a shitty mission that had them all in the dumps.

“I miss Keith,” Allura had muttered, huffing to herself. “He would have trained with me more so I wouldn’t have been so blindsided. You guys never do any extra training with me.”

The team’s responses had been a mix of mild offense and several other affirmations of missing their friend. All of them did — yeah, sure, each and every one of them finds great joy in giving Keith shit, and some of his leadership skills were…questionable, at best, but he was still their friend. And they missed him.

Lance got an idea.

After everyone else went to bed, he dug through random material boxes littered throughout the castle, and fashioned himself Keith’s infamous cropped leather jacket. It wasn’t quite the same — the only way he’d get leather in space would be from Kaltenecker, which was never going to happen on Lance’s watch — but there was no mistaking who he was imitating. He walked into breakfast the next morning with his fringe pulled over one eye and a smirk making the corner of his mouth twitch.

“Life is a nightmare and existence is a prison,” he’d said in his most emo voice.

Was it a fair impression of Keith?

No.

But was it funny?

Lance’s question was easily answered by the rest of the team losing their shit. He’d kept it up the rest of the day, playfully pretending to be Keith whenever someone asked him a question. As stupid as the whole bit was, it did make him feel a little better. A little more like Keith was just away for a little while, and that he was coming back, rather than a nameless face on a Blade base. It made things a little less scary, a little more lighthearted. It was a stupid joke, but a good one. Lance took off the dorky jacket at the end of the day, hanging it in his closet, not even thinking about it.

A week later, Pidge walked into the kitchen with the jacket she’d lifted from his room, doing her own garbage impression, and from there things had kind of snowballed.

None of them made anything official, obviously. That would be embarrassing as shit. But every Tuesday — or whatever the space equivalent was — someone would inevitably show up in the kitchen with an article of clothing that was unmistakably Keith’s. Eventually Lance started actually making replicas that would fit everyone; a jacket for Hunk, go-go boots for Shiro, fingerless gloves for Allura. Small, stupid things that Lance would make when he had the time and leave by their door without saying anything, without acknowledging the objectively deranged bit they were all overdoing.

It’s been long enough, though, that everyone’s outfit is complete. They’ve been celebrating Keith Day and cycling through enough weekly impressions that everyone has a full Keith outfit, so they’re having a Keith party.

Lance has not had so much fun in ages.

“Yo, Keith, pass the Gufla juice,” Lance says. Coran looks delighted for a moment before schooling his face into a grumpier expression.

“You’re the only one who drinks this garbage,” he says, doing a truly wonderful impression of Keith’s exasperated tone. “Just keep it where you sit.” He passes the bottle to Lance, then leans in close so Lance can hear his whisper. “Am I doing an alright job, lad? I’ve made an attempt to let the fondness he has for you bleed through my words!”

Lance flushes, taking the bottle from the advisor and hurriedly occupying himself with pouring a glass. He clears his throat three separate times before he finally manages to speak, conscious of the various snickers he can hear from around him.

“You did fine.”

Pidge scoffs, leaning back in her chair and raising a cocky eyebrow. “I dunno, usually it’s more like this.” She widens her eyes obnoxiously, batting her eyelashes and clasping her hands under her chin. “‘Nice shot, Sharpshooter. Couldn’t do it without my right-hand-man.’”

Allura and Hunk cackle, offering their palms for Pidge to slap, which she does unashamedly.

Lance, who is the pinnacle of grace and poise and Being the Bigger Person, primly dabs his mouth with a napkin and decides not to attack his horrible gremlin friend where she sits.

“That was the worst Keith impression I’ve ever heard,” he informs her.

Shiro hums before she can respond. “You’re right, Keith.” He nods at Lance. Lance sticks his tongue out at Pidge.

Ha!

“He hasn’t used ‘Sharpshooter’ in a while,” he continues, and Lance’s heart drops.

Shiro? A traitor? No. No!

Shiro adjusts the oversized white collar of the cropped jacket and grins to himself. “It’s a little more like this.” He stands, because he’s a dramatic hoe, and puts his hands on his hips, shaking his head mock-fondly at Lance before saying, in a hugely exaggerated Southern accent, “Well I’ll be, Bluebell. Maybe we make a good team after all.”

Okay. Evidently, Being the Bigger Person is overrated. He grabs a butterknife and throws it at the asshole black paladin, which is narrowly dodged with a yelp.

“There,” Lance says smugly. “Knife violence. How’s that for a Keith impression?”

Besides Shiro’s pout that lasts for a good five minutes, the rest of breakfast is just spent having good fun. They each break character a thousand times each, but it’s fun anyway. Allura in particular is the king of Keith impressions — possibly from the mess that was the Coalition Show — and the rest of them aren’t too shabby, either. Lance thinks he’s pretty good at nailing Keith’s laugh when he’s startled to find something funny (and no, he’s not going to spend any time reflecting on why that is, thanks).

“You know, fellow Keiths,” Shiro says, picking at his gloves, “I’ve teased him about the gloves for years, but they kind of do make me feel cool.”

Lance sighs. “Yeah, that’s the worst part. The gloves really do make me feel like a ninja sword guy.”

Instead of the various affirmations he expects to hear — come on, he and Shiro cannot be the only ones to feel that way — there’s only silence. He glances up at the rest of the team, only to find them all slack-jawed and horrified, staring wide-eyed at the door.

Lance’s stomach turns to stone.

There’s no way.

Slowly, as if he can make his suspicions disappear if he halves his speed, he turns toward the dining room door.

Where, of course, stands Keith, somehow, the real one, Blade uniform clinging to his body as he leans on the doorframe. He sports the tiniest of smirks, and yet somehow it’s more smug than any expression Lance has witnessed before.

“Hey, guys,” Keith says, casual. “Mission got cancelled so I had a couple days off, and I was nearby. Thought I’d hang with y’all for a while; Black let me in.”

He speaks so casually, walking into the room with a slight sway to his hips, a swagger, that leaves no question about it: he sees the situation in front of him. He gets it. He knows damn well he has the upper hand here.

He’s playing them.

The whole team sits frozen in their seats, hyper aware of their outfits, each knowing they have no excuse and no way out. They will never be able to successfully clown him again. He’s won. He knows how much they like him. Worst, still, is that Keith knows exactly who on this ship can make fingerless leather gloves from scratch. He knows exactly who’s dumbass idea this bit was, who put hours and hours into making accurate Keith outfits.

Lance is going to reacquaint himself with that airlock.

“Oh, nice, you guys are having that Dushan stuff.” Keith strides over to Lance’s seat, places a hand on the back off his chair and leaning in close. Lance puts his head in his hands and prays his ears aren’t as red as they feel. Keith reaches right over his shoulder and plucks a piece of food off his plate, popping it into his mouth. For a moment there’s nothing but a horrible silence, none of them knowing what to say.

“And by the way,” Keith says, when it’s clear none of them are going to speak up. His smirk has widened significantly, and he looks like he’s just won every argument he’s ever wanted to have at once. “The gloves make me feel cool, too.”

based on this scene in teen titans

[emi-pello]

Have a small art dump. First two images are some random character designs

The third image is some of my oldest OC's Sirius (cat thing), Amiigo (lizard), Shiro (griffin?), and Felix who now look more like an angry Falabella pony.

[artistdove]

Too exhausted to draw comic stuff so doodle dump. Aside from Mana, Altair, and Korro, the rest are random ocs made as friends for the main 3. I have more and plan to showcase them but idk when i’ll get time or energy to do it qwq. Slight info on them below

Naos:  King of crabs within the realms. Majority of the crabs follow them like a leader, but corrupted ones are difficult to deal with. Korro worked under him for a good while along with the Krill Lord as either messanger, errand gal, or unit control

Vera: Sanctuary veteran sky kid that loves exploring and finding new areas in sky. Assisted Korro in explorations or errands, but is mostly a solo adventurer. Korro’s exploration and nut-job tendencies are most likely because of her.

Shiro: Friend of Mana and Altair.  Extreme anxiety due to bullying because of his rabbit form and albinoism.  Loves to draw and craft and mostly sticks to Altair or his nook. Eventually befriends Korro, but it took a lot

Zara: Enchantment student that researchs spells and darkness in attempts to aid Altair in curing corrupted individuals. Tried to save Mana but to no avail and is mostly closed off. Despite her intimidating glance, she is motherly and kind.

[black--sun]

He shrugs. “He could’ve asked. Have you ever taken someone somewhere late at night without asking where you’re going?” But Shuren is kind of a friend at this point, so he doesn’t say it’s basic common sense. He blinks then huffs. “I kept it in my lap.” But it’s true that it had more blood than he was expecting. “Anyway, I thought you were plastic wrapping your trunk for messy kidnap victims. I’d just toss it back there.” There’s another beat before he realizes it sounds like Shiro just made him an offer. “Are you taking me next time?”

“Same difference,” is all he has to say to that comment about dumping him on the street.

“I’m saying you can’t hide behind the whole ‘at least I’m not trying to kill you’ bullshit, when it was just random happenstance you like me alive more than dead, and it’s not some virtue on your part. I don’t even know if you have virtues, you’re practically a hedonist.” Practically, but also very much not.

It takes another second after they’re back on course before he straightens again, feeling a prickle of nervous sweat at his temple. He narrows his eyes anyway though. “Yeah. Try it and see how it goes. I’m gonna watch it straight into a ravine.” He gestures toward the restaurant this time before the end up doing another quick turn. "That one. Park around back."

Ichigo’s statement and the way it’s delivered gets a little knee jerk, bubble of laughter. “Kinda fucked up of you, but hilarious.” He can just imagine the reaction a severed hand got when Ichigo climbed back into the car, after not telling his ride why they were where they were. “Just so y’ know, if you bring a severed hand into my car, it better not bleed all over the place. Don’t ruin my seats.”

He shrugs, not seeing the point. “So? You’re fun.” He liked the challenge of it, too, even before he decided he definitely needed to get into Ichigo’s pants. Who doesn’t like the attention of an extremely attractive, angry man? All those attempts really just made Shiro want him more. “I don’t bother burying my customers. Your family would'a found what was left of you on the streets.” But ok, he gets the point Ichigo’s trying to make now. Maybe. Surely he’s not mad he gets special privileges… He straightens the car back out and takes his missed turn, trying to remember how many blocks down Ichigo had told him so he doesn’t have to ask. “It’s my car, I decide who’s watching it.” He’s definitely just being a little shit at this point; he’s not leaving Ichigo behind for breakfast and no one needs to watch the car.

[cluelesslesbian]

• lance choses his room first because he's pretty overwhelmed by the whole situation

• one minute he's seeing what pidge is up to with hunk back at the garrison

• the next, he's flying in a mechanical blue lion, meeting alteans in some castle on another planet

• he needed some alone time to think things over

• him, hunk, pidge, shiro and ugh- mullet head, are supposed to become the paladins of voltron?

• it was a lot to take in

• when could he see his family?

• would they possibly take a pit stop to earth?

• his family doesn't have a clue on where he is

• keith is following not far behind and notices which bedroom lance chooses

• he looks around the hall as if someone would be there to judge his decision

• and chooses the room right beside lance's

• not because he wanted some excuse to be near lance of course to possibly get rid of the whole rivalry thing

• it just...happened accidentally

• he finds himself regretting his decision

• when lance finds out he's a little taken back, assuming he'd choose a room next to shiro's

• he wasn't going to admit this either because they're rivals 😤

• but he was a bit happy to have keith's room near his

• and would hide how he really feels with a "god. i can't believe mr. drop out PURPOSELY choose his room next to mine just to bug the shit out of me, smh."

• keith's response to that would be something like: "ha...yeah, cause i hate you. a lot. there's no other reason why i choose that room. nope. not at all."

• lance gets obnoxious by blasting music in his bedroom purposely during random times of the day, singing along with the songs

• keith either kicks the wall (which does nothing)

• or comes in the room with his knife held up high

• because of their rooms being together, they're told to wake each other up

• keith ends up having to wake up lance more other than vice versa

• he walks into the room, awkwardly standing there and just kind of staring before actually attempting to wake him up

• he slides lance's headphones down gently and nudges his shoulder

• lance only mumbles, reaching out to grab keith's arm

• keith has a small gay panic and ends up yelling his name, yanking his arm away

• which freaks the fuck out of lance

• he doesn't shut up about how keith "aggressively woke me up like the castle was on fire! i thought getting older meant i wouldn't get crazy wake up calls like the one's my siblings would do."

• the rare and i mean rare times when lance wakes keith up

• lance will barley touch keith's shoulder and he jolts awake, grabbing his knife from under the pillow

• some nights when keith wakes up, due to a nightmare, he hears the gentle yet muffled from a guitar coming from lance's room

• sometimes he'll even hear him singing softly

• it soothes keith, making it easier for him to fall back asleep

• one time keith accidentally walks in on lance playing the guitar during the day

• he sorta freezes up but relaxes his shoulders after a moment

• they just sort of stare at each other in awkward silence

• keith: you know- i've heard you play before- not to sound creepy or anything...and uh, you're pretty good

lance: really? thanks man. playing usually helps me cope when i'm down in the dumps and has just become a hobby of mine

• then lance gives keith the softest smile ever that makes keith's heart pump as if he'd just ran laps around the castle

• he makes up a lame excuse to leave

• lance frowns at his sudden excuse and assumes he'd said the wrong things and starts apologizing

• keith waves him off, apologizing himself, telling lance he wouldn't mind hearing him play some more

• so lance offers he sits across from him as he played

• lance explains the song he's playing was his mothers favorite song, singing the lyrics in spanish

• keith had no idea what he was saying, but that didn't matter

• what mattered was the joy displayed on his face as he sung, confidence shining through his eyes

• at this moment keith had come to realize that his crush he had on lance might be something more

this one went from klance having rooms next to each other to keith pinning over lance playing the guitar- whoops

— 🌙 moon anon

YESYESYES

I cannot believe we have no context for how the paladins chose their rooms?? Like ajdkfl WHAT YOU WROTE IS SO GOOD- the creators couldve totally shown us how the paladins would cope after tough battles by showing us a scene like that???

aaaanyways now for my screeching

I LOVE the langst. like srsly.

Lance would totally feel comfortable with Keith's room next to his- BECAUSE Keith doesn't remember know him as well as the Garrison Duo

Like hear me out,, it's so much easier to let yourself feel sad when you know you don't have to worry about?? making others feel responsible for it????

So Hunk and Pidge would only make him bottle up his feelings more,

Hunk especially would feel bad about Lance feeling bad which would make Lance feel bad and itll just spiral right there

and Shiro is his HERO- absolutely no way Lance wants to show "weakness" around him (very unhealthy mindset btw! feelings ain't bad to have, but I get idk wanting to pretend youre invincible to look good in front of people u admire :/ )

But Keith???? yeah. he'll work....

idk maybe I'm projecting too much with that^ one ahdjfk MOVING ON

awkward keith checking to make sure no one is gathering evidence that he's a simp??? hilarious and completely logical bc pidge and shiro would DRAG HIS ASS if they found out 😂

KEITH PULLING OUT THE KNIFE EVERY CHANCE HE GETS- LIKE THE DRAMATIC KING HE IS??? *CHEF'S KISS*

klance x music! klance x music! klance x music!!!

like that whole last scene was so soft I'm in love with it 🥺❤

PINING KEITH!!! BUT AFTER GETTING TO KNOW LANCE again?? AND LIKE NOT NECESSARILY AWAY??? TOP NOTCH

@lesbianklance come get yall juice

[ashkazora]

Ignoring all the rage i feel remembering how Hunk was supposed to be Lance's best friend and Allura and him shared games together but by the end seasons he was pretty much white characters's lackey- Do you think Hunk misses when Lance was around him especially when Keith and Pidge are being so fucking white? Like do you think he made a dish crying to himself how bland he had to make it and Keith and Pidge are still like "ohhmmygawd so spicy" and Hunk is like "i just put a pinch of black pepper"?

Honestly, I think the key thing Hunk misses is the culture they could share, regardless of race. Keith lived in the middle of buttfuck nowhere and had a culture consisting of two minute noodles and random lizards, while Pidge never really gave a shit about that kind of stuff. When Lance and Hunk are together, they can share their culture through means that they can't when they're with Pidge/Keith. In that vein, it's why their relationships with Coran are so strong - they all share their cultures and love to learn about others'.

I think Hunk definitely misses when he could talk about Earth and homesickness, and have someone relate on a way that Keith and Pidge couldn't. Also, I hc that Keith can take spice, but only that very specific, tabasco and chilli-flakes dumped on steak spice. Not pepper, horseradish, or jalapeno spice iygwim.

But don't worry, anon, I feel the exact same rage :))))))) The only time Hunk and Lance were best friends was like, a couple seconds in the first and second seasons. After that- nothing. Nada. Sure, they were teammates, friends, maybe, but best friends is pushing it. And Hunk and Allura/Shiro's interactions were pretty much nonexistent by the 2nd season, let's be honest. Both Hunk and Lance got shafted pretty badly in favour of bland, boring-ass bread characters but shhhhh.

But yeah. Hunk definitely misses someone who could fully appreciate his dishes, who could understand why he did things on certain days and why he held certain beliefs. (I can't really say anything too specific because I'm not knowledgeable on native Hawaiian culture. However I also hc that one of hunk's mums is jewish and thus he is too, so I totally see him being incredibly mindful when preparing alien dishes and trying to recreate challah with alien yeast).

so YEAH.

[aprxl-showers]

klance x pirates of the caribbean

bc apparently when i'm upset i listen to newsies live and think up weird klance aus

in my head this could go one of two ways:

keith and lance as will and elizabeth

keith and lance as jack and will (i'll explain later)

a lot more under the cut bc i got a bit carried away...

if it follows the canon love story i picture lance as will and keith as elizabeth. (i could see it the other way around bc keith could be the orphan pirate boy but i’ve written too much to go back now).

when they were young, keith was on a ship with his father and he spots lance on a piece of driftwood. they save him ofc and keith spots a jewel necklace around lance's neck. he takes it and later has it fused in the hilt of his mother's knife that is now his.

keith hates being the governor's son with a passion. he hates the formality of it and how restrictive it is. lance is the weaponsmaster's apprentice (that's how he gets good with a gun) and he is always under appreciated! give this guy some recignition!

anyway, he has been silently pining for keith for ages. little does he know, keith kind of likes him too. a lot of mutual pining has been going on for longer than either can recall.

anyhoo, pirates invade the town and kidnap keith. he puts up a fight but in the end he's outnumbered and taken aboard the ship as leverage. he says his surname is mcclain bc it's on his mind. wink wonk. captain of the evil pirates is zarkon and when the pirates who kidnapped keith hand him the knife he realises it is the jewel that can break their spell. since keith uses lance's surname, he also thinks it is keith's blood they need to finish the ritual since lance's family are the one's who sent the jewel away with lance. but it's not. obvs.

lance, after saving a baby, watches keith get taken in horror and tries to call out but is knocked out before he can act. once he's awake he hears that there's a pirate who was caught in the dungeon. that's allura. yes, eccentric captain allura is a choice i am making.

lance manages to break her out of jail, thinking she is one of the evil pirates and he can persuade her to help him. she is not but decides to help him anyway in an attempt to retrieve her ship 'the voltron' from zarkon. the two of them go off on a quest to save keith.

meanwhile, hunk and pidge are guarding keith. they are new recruits to zarkon's crew after their other crew threw pidge out when they discovered she was a girl (silly pirate superstitions). hunk went with her. they are easily persuaded to help keith bc zarkon's a meanie and promise that they'll help him out when they make it to land.

lance and allura arrive on an island and find coran who is allura's closest friend and ally. shiro is also there. he has a peg arm (is that a thing? idk it's a weird mechanism but it does the trick). coran explains that the ship keith is on is cursed and they will be going to the mysterious isle of daibazaal to break the curse.

they get there and watch zarkon attempt to break the curse using the jewel (which he pried out of the blade) and keith's blood. nah, it don't work. they still turn into creepy looking skeletons in the moonlight. damn. he threatens keith and then all hell breaks loose bc lance shoots him. it would have definitely killed zarkon but he can't die bc... the whole undead thing, and in doing so all lance does is reveal their position. they fight a bit, as you do. keith gets hold of a sword and kills three evil pirates in about five seconds. lance falls a little bit in love with him.

in the midst of the battle, lance makes a deal with zarkon that he will stay if keith and the others can go (this now includes hunk and pidge bc they helped keith get free). lance is stripped of visible weapons and zarkon agrees to break the curse immediately. lance cuts his hand and drops the jewel into the chest.

then he grabs keith's jewel-less knife from where it lies beside the chest. zarkon, distracted, doesn't notice until the blade is buried in his gut. he dies. keith and the rest act immediately and kill any other pirates who don't surrender. keith kills an evil pirate about to shoot lance.

they return keith in exchange for allura, coran, shiro, pidge, hunk and lance's pardon. keith expresses his wish not to be governor in the future and allura invites them on 'the voltron' ship with her since she reclaimed it from zarkon. keith and lance then have a moment where they thank each other for saving each other's life. keith thanks lance for coming after him and lance confesses. it's all very sappy and they kiss for ages.

OR

lance is still will. i stand by everything i said about him in the previous version. his parents caused the curse to endure and sent him off. but instead of keith finding him, it's allura. she's the governor's (in this case, alfor's) daughter. she takes the jewel and keeps it as a necklace. lance and allura are more like besties but they're not really allowed to see each other because of their differing classes.

keith arrives and escapes the navy. hides in weaponsmaster’s shop. lance tries to fight him but he’s not as good with a sword as he is with a gun. lots of sassy banter where lance is tryna be noble and keith doesn’t care for it.

anyway, we sort of know what happens. allura gets kidnapped and uses lance's surname bc they had a conversation beforehand. lance stresses, hears about a pirate they captured, assumes it's one of the evil ones he can persuade to help him.

but instead he gets keith who he met earlier. in the time they’ve been apart he’s got himself landed in the dungeon. and he’s notoriously one of the most stubborn, grumy pirate captains in all the seven seas.

he's overall unimpressed with lance as a person and with his plan, only agreeing when he realises he might be able to get his ship, this time called 'the red lion', back. lance decides he's going to prove himself to keith. he doesn't know why he's so offended by a pirate's opinion but he just is. hmmm...

they pick up shiro and coran, pidge and hunk promise to help allura out yada yada yada and they start making their way towards the island.

they run into lotor and his crew (acxa, ezor, zethrid etc) who are unrelated to zarkon and that whole... thing but they're your typical pirates and they want their stuff. which is annoying af bc allura is missing and they have somewhere to be thank you very much.

they put up a good fight. lance has plenty of opportunities to impress keith with his pistol skills. consider keith very impressed and mildly enamoured. but he doesn't do feelings so he stuffs them down inside him as you do. they win and move on. afterwards keith asks lance where he learned those moves and lance tells him stories of his time in the weaponsmaster's workshop. they bond.

they get to the island and find allura. they fight and keith and lance save each other's backs too many times to count. lance has a revelation (inconveniently mid battle) that he actually really likes this. this is fun. this is exciting.

then keith fucks up. he says that he'll hand lance over if zarkon gives him his ship back. lance is fucking fuming and feeling very betrayed and hurt bc he actually felt like he was getting somewhere with keith. keith gets what he deserves though bc zarkon dumps him and allura on an island and takes lance away.

while they're on the island allura knocks some sense into him regarding his life generally and lance specifically. she tells him loads of cute lance-as-a-teenager stories and keith feels awful. he helps her light a signal fire using some rum he has on his person.

they spot the ship alfor sent to find allura. they persuade them to go to where lance and the rest of the crew is. keith tries to act like he's on zarkon's side when they get back to the cave and then he takes one of the cursed jewels so he's now immortal. aha! while this is happening allura has infiltrated zarkon's ship, 'the red lion', so shiro, coran, pidge and hunk can be freed.

allura then frees lance from where they were keeping him in the hull. lance runs to where keith is. they share a look. keith cuts his hand and throws the jewel to lance who does the same and drops it into the water. the curse is broken. keith goes to grab zarkon's sword so he can kill him but zarkon grabs him by the throat. lance shoots zarkon in the side before keith can pass out. he runs to keith who has collapsed. keith apologises and thanks him and promises not to betray him again. lance laughs, says he better not and helps him up.

they return allura safely in exchange for their pardon. keith asks lance to join the crew of 'the red lion' and gives him loads of reasons that are really just disguised compliments. safe to say lance kisses him senseless and they run away together, sailing off into the sunset. bc. klance. there's got to be a sunset somewhere.

hope you liked my what-were-meant-to-be-headcanons-but-just-became-plot-summaries!! i promise i’ll post some general pirate voltron headcanons unrelated to this au at some point. i wrote a pirate au piece for klance au month on my ao3 so some might be related to that?

if you want to send asks or whatever that would be cool - even if they're just random ideas for the au or changes/additions to the plot. i also might write little snippets for this at some point (i’ll tag them under ‘kl potc au’ like this post) bc i'm suddenly crazy invested so if you have any scenes from this you want (from version 1 or 2 or any scene in the plethora of potc movies) send a message and i'll probably get around to it :))

(1/2)Separated Lance: So what did I miss? Allura: Well Keith turned out to be half Galra and because he and Pidge had a fight, he left to join Blade while Pidge left to look for her family. Hunk believed you were dead and left for Earth to give the news to your family n not coming back. Shiro is still fighting but he blames himself and over exerts himself so much that I had to put him in the pod to make him sleep. Lance: wow all that in 2 years. Allura, very sad n tired: it's only been 2 months

(2/2) Allura: But enough about us, where have you been? Lance, who was on a batshit planet in some pocket dimension where anything and everything was trying to kill him, and has been surviving on nothing but wits, rocks and spite for the past 2 years all alone: I was stuck

Lance, with the trauma and abandonment issues of being stranded in a pocket dimension where everything wanted him dead: Alright, let’s get the team back together!

Lance to Shiro when he comes out of the pod: Take a nap, I’ll explain later.

Lance to Hunk, after bursting through his family’s front door: I’m not dead.  We need you on the Castle of Lions, I’ll explain later.

Lance to Keith on a random BOM mission after he stared down Kolivan: Get your half Galra ass over here, and apologize to Pidge when we find ‘em.  I’ll explain later.

Lance to Pidge after crashing into Matt’s secret base: In the ship, now, bring your brother too...I guess, there are better resources on the Castleship then this dump, and apologize to Keith.  I’ll explain later.

----

Later:

Allura: You never explained what happened to anyone.

Lance: Oh...-tunring to the others- Basically Space Bermuda Triangle where time was different.

for the prompt!!! shiro and allura stranded on a strange planet that neither of them recognize???

((Me being me, I just had to think about famous sci-fi planets I could dump them on.This one is technically a moon, but then again I think Olkarion is technically a moon, too, so whatevs.))

He groaned as he came to. He didn’t even have to go back through his memories to know what had happened: he’d felt this before. It was sort of like the mental equivalent of a pulled muscle, though it usually faded pretty quickly once he opened his eyes and got his bearings.

This was what it felt like when Black “ejected” him while teleporting. This is what it felt like to be - somehow - whipped through the universe and winding up in some random place. Granted, the places had always been able to sustain human life, and he’d never wound up... say, inside a wall or impaled on anything. He always “landed” in a safe, deserted spot.

Another groan next to him made him open his eyes faster, sit up and turn towards the sound.

“Oh no, Allura,” he said, scooting over to her. She was laying next to him, just a little ways away. 

“What happened?” she asked, not yet opening her eyes.

“We must have taken a hit while you were supercharging Voltron,” he told her. “This is what happens when Black... uh, ‘saves’ me. She must have sent you away, too.”

She opened her eyes, rolled her head over to look at him. “At least we’re in the same place.”

“Yeah, I’d’ve been worried about you otherwise.”

She smiled, and there was the faintest glow of her eyemarks. “Now where are we?”

He looked around. “I don’t know,” he answered honestly. It looked like an abandoned colony. It was raining and dark, and he felt the artificial warmth shed from the colony buildings. He knew then what it was, at least, if not where. He stood up, then helped the princess get to her feet as well. The lights were still on, the buildings shuttered. The word “abandoned” wandered through his consciousness again, with more surety to it. But... everyone could just be inside, waiting out the storm. There was nothing to say it was abandoned except for this feeling in his gut. 

“Come on,” he said. “Let’s see if we can find somewhere dry.”

She let him take the lead, and he headed for a side building. Something... something in him said to avoid the main colony building. The same something that was sure there was no one alive here. Despite the power, the intact structures. He walked, and she followed.

“What is this?” she asked, looking around.

“Terraforming colony,” he told her. “Colonists from Earth, sent here to set up a colony, make the air breathable - which they seem to have managed,” as his suit informed him so, “and make the place habitable for us.”

“Invaders?” she asked, aghast.

“Colonists,” he insisted. “It’s an uninhabited planet. No indigenous sentient life forms. Maybe some animals or insects or something, but no people.” As he looked around, he had a hard time imagining animals here.

“No offense, but it still looks rather uninhabited.” She was looking at the shuttered buildings they passed.

“Perhaps the colony wasn’t as profitable as hoped. A lot of colonies are financed by one or more businesses, hoping more for material than scientific gain.” But even as he said it, he didn’t believe it. The lights are still on. If they’d formally shut down the colony, they wouldn’t have left the power plant up and operational. It was the most expensive part of a colony like this. There was absolutely no way it would ever be left behind, or at least not left behind and running. 

“Here,” she said, pointing at a building. The shutter looked dented, a bit battered. It’d be easy to get a handhold on. So the princess did, grabbing hold and pulling on the metal, causing it to creak as she bent it out of shape. He shone a light in the opening she’d made and found the door, just a little ways away. He cut the shutter just where the door was, melted the lock, and held the door for her. “Princesses first.”

She laughed and walked in, already looking around. He closed the door behind them. There wasn’t a strong wind, so, for now, at least, it stayed shut. 

The rain was a constant but distant pattering sound in here. He didn’t hear anything that sounded like dripping into a puddle, so the roof was probably solid. 

Allura had illuminated her tiara gem, allowing it to act like a headlamp. “What is this place?”

He reactivated his suit’s light and shone it around. “Looks like... surveying and camping gear. For exploration beyond the colony walls.” He took his helmet off and set it on a counter, then continued his own exploring. “Not a bad place to hole up. They might have some water and rations. Hold on.” He vaulted the counter and looked around. Even though the Galaxy Garrison was pure science and exploration, government-funded, these sorts of pop-up buildings were standardized. Even a wealthy multinational conglomerate wouldn’t bother reinventing the wheel. 

“Ah, here we go!” He found the button and, with a quick press, they had lights again. This place looked like it had seen some use, but it also was well-stocked, if a little dusty. Knives, grappling hooks and kevlar reinforced rope, the promised water and food rations, one and two person tents, ISO 228 K sleeping bags, first aid kits, and much more... All of this further underlined the fact that the colony had not been deliberately shut down. No one would leave all of this behind.

“I’ve activated my suit’s beacon,” Allura said. She’d removed her helmet as well. 

“Right, hold on.” He activated his and went over to the food stores. “We’re stuck here for a while, so might as well enjoy it.” He scanned the offerings. “Here. Try these.” He tossed a bag at her.

“What are they?” she asked, tearing it open without waiting.

“Freeze-dried strawberry slices. They’re fruit. Better when they’re fresh, of course, but...”

“Oh! Interesting,” she said, already chewing on one.

He smiled, shook his head, and picked up a bag of apple slices, grabbed two full water canteens, and brought one to her. “Here. It’ll be warm, but it’s water, at least.”

She thanked him with a nod, they set their snacks on the counter, and he hopped up to sit on it. After watching him do it, she did the same. They sat next to each other on the counter and ate. 

“How long does it normally take you guys to find me?” he asked. 

“Usually a few days, except for that one time you just wound up on Olkarion.”

He nodded. “Well, okay then. We’ll be set here. And if someone shows up - which I doubt - we can explain.”

She studied him for a long moment. “Shiro, what do you think happened here?”

He considered coming up with a lie, then shook his head. “I don’t know. I...”

“Shh!” she said suddenly, holding out a hand towards him.

He closed his mouth instantly and watched her ears twitch. And then, he heard it, too. A sound like... scuttling? Maybe? It was hard to make out through this weather, but it was definitely not just the rainfall.

The power failed for a second, the door whipped open, and the rain started coming in. He leapt off the counter and ran to the door, pushing it shut. 

“Here,” Allura’s voice said, just before the power came back on. She was holding a box. “Put this up against the door to block it.” 

“Thank you,” he said. When he took it from her, he wasn’t surprised to find it was heavier than she’d made it seem. He pushed it up against the door. “There. That should keep the door shut.”

And then he heard it again, clearer: a definite scuttling sound, combined with a sort of... dragging? It wasn’t as muffled by the rain.

Allura looked to him for explanations, and he had none.

[skybird13]

I think the thing holding me back the most in regards to whether I'll continue rwby or not is Qrow. Just the fact that crwby never intended him to be read as a queer man even though they baited him and Clover so hard is just going to make me so upset if he ever gets a female love interest. We'll have to see the flirting all over again except this time it will be between a man and a woman and of course you're supposed to read that as romantic, but the two dudes flirting? Nope. Total bros.

Heteronormativity is a hell of a drug, anon, I’m sorry to say.

The number of levels on which CRWBY screwed this up is absolutely fucking astounding. My brother and I were talking about this whole mess last night. We were both enjoying volume 7 quite a bit. It had some plot holes and pacing issues and inconsistencies, but those were all things I could overlook or at least deal with. They only have so much time to tell the story, after all, and nothing is perfect. But how exactly do you manage to completely destroy something that was fairly decent over the span of a single episode? The mind reels. 

What’s even more frightening? They could easily screw this up further by doing exactly what you said.

At the risk of sounding like a “petty shipper” (which is an invalidating accusation people need to stop throwing around, especially in this case), giving Qrow any other love interest at this point would be, in my opinion, completely unbelievable on a narrative level and in very poor taste. I’ve heard speculation that we’re over half-way through the series at this point, and I’m sorry, but CRWBY just doesn’t have the time to bring Qrow through this hell they just dumped him in, take him into yet another healing arc, and get him to a place where it’s feasible that he would get close to anyone.

They had the perfect set-up, perfect timing, and the perfect person right there in Clover (not to mention the ideal opportunity for a completely badass mlm couple) and they threw it away with a level of callousness that still comes as a shock to the system. Pairing him up with anyone else at all (but especially shoving him into a het relationship without even exploring his bisexuality) would just be salt in the wound, and I fully agree that if I catch even a whiff of that, I will be gone and I won’t look back. I suppose it’s possible they might pull some Adam/Shiro/random-dude-post-story marriage bullshit, which would only be preferable in the sense that at least we wouldn’t have to watch it play out? But I definitely hear you. CRWBY completely wrecked Qrow in episode 12. I don’t see how he comes out of this healthy, much less capable of being in any sort of relationship within the time frame that remains in the series.

I want Qrow to be happy more than anyone. CRWBY apparently disagrees with me. At least, that’s how it’s looking right now. 

If you’re worried about it but still tempted to watch volume 8, you can always do what I’m doing. Someone I trust (my brother) is going to watch as the episodes drop, let me know what happens, and if it goes in a direction I’m not good with, I’ll just ditch the show altogether. Regardless, unless he comes running out of his room screaming that Clover is alive, I won’t be watching episodes as they drop again. That got to be a little too much for me. So if we come upon volume 8 and you’re curious, you can always shoot me another ask or just keep an eye on my blog. I’d be happy to give you my opinion one way or the other. 

I hope you’re doing okay and taking care of yourself, anon. None of this should be happening but at the very least we have each other for support.

Thanks for the ask!

Voltron: Next Generation

Brittle Relations: III

Word Count: 2992

It took three days to prepare the ship for launch. Besides the repairs and harvesting and the weblum, a majority of the urgency came from Keith. When Keith was shot with tranquilizers, it was Kenny freaking out and rushing the team. If it ain't one Kogane, it's another. They would've tranquilized Kenny, but they needed him down in the engine room. The makeshift solar panels helped a lot in powering the ship, storing it all in backup generators. By the third day, it was only a review of systems and they took off. The teens learned from their mistakes and traveled through a wormhole on empty stomachs. 

On the other side of the wormhole, the teens rapidly checked every map. In front of them, there was only a deserted and broken hull of a planet. 

"Kova, where are we?" Shiro asked with arms at his sides. Kova had pulled up the maps Liz had sent to the main console, while simultaneously trying to triangulate Pidge's location. 

"Thayama," Kova replied, finally able to translate the triangle. "Once a satellite to a larger star, it became too cold to sustain life." 

"Why is it broken like that?" Caleb asked, staring between the lifeless hull in front of the window and the complete planet on the map. 

"I think it became so cold, the entire planet kind of," Liz replied, holding her hands together in a spherical shape. "Broke." She separated her hands to hold half-spheres. 

"That's the running theory," Cake nodded his head with hands under his chin. Kova began talking to Kenny over her earpiece, working together to steer the Coeus towards Pidge's location. 

"Hold!" She yelled, dropping the controls. Down in the engine room, Kenny turned off the thrusters. "Cake, Kenny, suit up, and let's go." 

"What." Cake and Kenny deadpanned, eyes comically wide. 

"No offense to either of you," Kova began. "You look more gullible than I do." Cake stared at Kova as she walked out, putting her helmet on as she was doing so. Cake looked around at the other four Paladins, who stared back at him expectedly. Slowly, Cake places a dramatic hand on his chest. Allie, who was across from him, nodded her head, confused. 

"Cake!" All of the Paladins jumped, but Cake was the only one who stood up, tripping up the stairs while pulling his helmet on. 

Together, the trio (ugh, unavoidable alliteration) boarded the Yellow Lion with a vague plan in Kova's mind. Kova directed Cake towards the signal, narrowly avoiding several big chunks of Thayama. 

So, uh, what's the plan?" Kenny asked as Yellow neared the bright orange triangle. 

"Since Cake and I can defend ourselves, you'll stay here until we need help." 

"That's offensive, Kova." 

"If we need you, your code word is 'dump'.

"'Dump'? Why 'dump'?" 

"Cake, find a place to land here." It's safe to assume Kova never answered Kenny's question. Yellow touched down on a giant chunk of land still attached to the bigger mass of the dead planet. Kova handed Kenny a screen after Cake led Kenny into the seat. 

"This is going to give you a status on the weblum." 

"How do you know where the weblum is?" 

"Kenny, not the time." Kova glared at Kenny through their screens, shutting him up. She looked up at Cake and nodded towards the door. Cake nodded in response, gripping his bayard.

On the surface, Thayama wasn't cold. There were no readings. Even though the suits warmed them, Kova and Cake could feel the chill of the strong wind. Turning on their floodlights did nothing to help them, but they continued forward. They could still see Yellow's eyes when the first blast came. It came in between the teens, making them duck. Kova dived to the ground, summoning her shield. Cake summoned his minigun, firing a warning shot. Another shot came at them, hitting three feet away from Kova's left. 

"Where are they?" Cake shouted over the wind. Kova looked down to check her screen, seeing the triangle point thirty feet ahead. 

"Not far!" She yelled back, pushing forward. Cake hefted his weapon up and pushed forward too. Three more shots were fired from the darkness at the teens, who continued forward. The shots kept missing, but when one hit a boulder, causing it to explode, it rushed the teens. 

At ten feet, the Yellow Lion was a dim blob in the distance, but the howling wind stopped. Kova deactivated her shield, stood up, and lifted her hands in surrender. Cake saw what she was doing, and did the same, except he held the deactivated bayard in his hand. 

Two figures approached the teens. Dark fabric hung from their shoulders, with a makeshift mask covering their blurry shields. Either they didn't see their armor from the fogginess of their dark screens, or they weren't the person they were looking for. 

"Who are you and what do you want?" One of the cloaked figures said, holding up an upgraded weapon. This cloaked figure was significantly shorter than the other, with their torn fabric cloak dragging on the ground. 

"We want to get you off of here," Kova answered, getting the cloaked figure's attention. They approached them with their gun, pointing the barrel directly at Kova's chest plate. 

"Why?" The figure inched closer. "Who sent you?" 

"No one sent us." Kova stepped forward. Only a step. "We followed a signal coming from this location." The second, taller cloaked figure scoffed, standing next to the first figure. 

"Not until you tell us who you are and what you're doing here." Kova gave Cake a side-glance, who didn't meet her eyes. Kenny took the silence to update Kova. 

"Weblum is approximately half-hour out." 

"Listen, we have to get you—" Kova tried walking forward again, but the first figure held up their gun. Now that Kova was having a little bit of a closer look, it looked more like a bazooka, if a bazooka was made of random bits and pieces. "My name is Kova, and I'm the Paladin of the Black Lion." The taller cloaked figure hadn't made a move, but the shorter figure had begun to shake their shoulders. They were trying to stop their laughter. "We have to get you out of this dump." 

"Why?" The taller figure asked, earning them a 'huh?' from the shorter figure. 

"There's a weblum en route to this planet." The wind started up again, pushing the teens to their side. Kova held up her arm to try to block some of the wind. "Let's go!" 

"No!" The first figure shouted over the wind, trying to hold onto the dark fabric over their face and the bazooka at the same time. From behind the teens, Kenny ran against the raging wind to reach Kova and Cake. 

"Weblum is twenty minutes out!" He shouted, diving in front of Kova and Kenny to make his face visible to the pair. "I'm Kenny, and we really have to get you both out of here! You know what a weblum is, right?" He looked at the shorter person, then at the taller person, hoping to garner some sympathy. 

"Matt?" The shorter figure says. "What are you doing here?" 

Jackpot. 

"Katie 'Pidge' Holt?" Kova asked, getting a hesitant head nod. "And you? Who are you?" 

"I'm Hunk." The taller figure said. "Hunk Garrett." 

"I'm Takashi Shirogane's daughter."

"Shiro?" Both said. Kova nodded.

"Let's go!" Kova turned, dragging Cake by the back of his collar. Kenny stood up, grabbing the elbows of the two people, and pulled them towards Yellow's general direction. 

"Wait!" Pidge shouted, turning around towards the area behind them. Both Kenny and Hunk yelled after her, but she paid no mind. Pidge ran back to Kenny after about thirty seconds with a satchel, and let Kenny lead them. 

"Hang on, everyone!" Cake yelled as soon as Kenny and his guests boarded Yellow. The ride in Yellow was pretty bumpy, jerking around through the wind. It bounced the passengers except for the pair in the cockpit around like balls. Pretty soon, the Yellow Lion escaped the strong winds of Thayama. The calm was disturbing after the winds. 

"Yellow to Coeus, do you read me?" Cake asked into his earpiece, ignoring Kova's sigh of relief as they flew towards the Coeus. 

"Coeus to Yellow, what's your status?" Caleb answered. 

"Mission successful. Prepare accommodations and treatment for two."

"Copy. Transport bay doors open." Caleb was right, and both Kova and Cake were grateful for it. Flying Yellow into the bay, they began unboarding and led the newcomers directly into the observation room. Keith's room was dark, but he turned over as they passed by. Allie and Liz were on standby in the med bay, hanging out in the doctor's office as Kova walked in to knock on the glass. Liz led Pidge into the observation room while Allie led Cake to the spare cot in the corner of the room. They asked them to remove their cloaks and suits, which they seemed hesitant about. That was where Cake, Kova, and Kenny left them, practically skipping to Shiro's office. 

"Dad." Kova was the first one into the room. Shiro looked up at the teens and 'adult' with a bored expression. An inverse image of Curtis with crossed arms was on the screen. He smiled at Shiro's expression, choosing to answer for him. 

"What's wrong, Kova?" Curtis said with a funny deep voice, trying to imitate Shiro. Shiro turned to glare at Curtis, who began snickering. 

"Was your mission successful?" Shiro asked the teens, ignoring his husband. 

"Yes sir." Kova straightened her back and crossed her wrists behind her back. "We successfully recovered Katie 'Pidge' Holt and Hunk Garrett." Shiro did a double-take at the names, pushing past the teens to head for the med bay. Kova came into her Pop's view, who began to ask her about her mission. She confirmed and answered every question. 

"Bridge to the crew, weblum crossing. Repeat, bridge to the crew, weblum is passing." Curtis's last words to Kova were a demand to take a video of the weblum. Together, Kenny, Kova, Cake, and Caleb watched the giant weblum cross in front of the Coeus, devouring the broken remains of Thayama. 

"So, uh, how did you know where the weblum was?" Kenny asked again, and Kova sighed. 

"You know how there's online tracking for dolphins and whales?"

"Yeah. What about it?"

"Researchers applied that to weblums." 

"You're joking."

"It took eighteen months to find them all." 

"Did they find them all?" Kenny asked, turning his head to look at Kova. She shook her head, still looking at the huge weblum. 

"We don't need any scaultrite, right?" Cake asked with a smile.

"Please, don't joke about that," Caleb said with a flat look. 

That night, everyone aboard the IGF Coeus went to bed without a heavy thought. The lights dimmed, and the Coeus sang a soft lullaby. 

Early the next morning, Kova was rubbing a towel over her wet hair, grimacing at the neon green on the fluffy towel. As her hair went up in a towel turban, she walked into the kitchen to find Liz and Cake standing over a huge pot in the middle of the floor. 

"Um, what are you doing?" Kova asked, coming to stand next to them. The metal pot was filled to the brim with water, with a wooden stick sticking out of it. The water shifted from white to pink, reflecting the light above the teens. 

"We tried to wash the poncho, since two people have already worn it without it ever being washed," Liz began, looking at Kova. 

"So we started washing it, and we left it over one of the air ducts." Cake finished, taking the stick and moving the fabric around. 

"The Coeus releases hot air if low temperatures are detected, and the metal heats up easily," Kova pointed out, staring at the pair. 

"We know." They answered at the same time, faces darkening. Cake kept stirring, lifting the poncho out of the water. It looked like a bad tie-dye, with patches of white and pink from the leftover dye. Staring at the patches, Kova had an idea. Taking the towel turban from her head, Kova fluffed her hair so it fell smoothly down her back. A little prong fell in front of her forehead, almost touching her nose. Two other locks of hair framed her face, curling next to her chin. Her hair was as dark as before, reaching her shoulders. The rest of her long hair was still bright green, ending with dark tips. 

"Would you guys mind getting the green out?" Kova asked. Wordlessly, Cake dropped the poncho and stick back into the water, furiously pushing it to the bottom while Liz grabbed a lonely chair in the corner of the room. It took a half-hour and not all of the dye came out of Kova's hair, but it was enough to dye the fabric bright green. Not as neon as before, but green enough. Kova was left with a patch of hair that looked brown, but at least it wasn't green anymore. As the dye settled into the fabric, the teens remarked how amazing the dye was, wondering what store Caleb had gotten it from. Cake and Kova deadpanned Liz, but Liz said nothing. 

Thank Allura it was early. 

Breakfast was served as usual, Kova looked for any leads regarding Yorak, Allie searched for the colonies, and Liz took care of the three patients. Kenny was excited to see his parents together again, but to avoid being physically restrained to a chair again, he occupied himself in the engine room. 

By lunch, Liz declared everyone healthy, if only dehydrated. The five teens walked down to the observation room, calling for Shiro and Kenny. 

Hunk sat on the bed in the furthest corner of the med bay, wearing a yellow shirt and black pants and boots. His hair had grown to shoulder length, tied back by an orange headband. Sideburns grew long his face, stopping short of his beard. He watched as the teens filed in, wearing their Paladin armor. Cake wanted to wear his, while the others wanted to wear their normal clothes, but Cake persisted. 

"I didn't think the Lions would appear again," Hunk said, a sad smile on his face. "Much less so soon." 

"What are you talking about, Hunk?" Pidge said from her observation room. Her door was open, unlike Keith's. She stood from her bed, and stared at the five teenagers. Kova had brushed her hair, a small braid holding back the prongs, and a bigger braid holding back the rest. Caleb had swept his hair to the side, crossing his arms next to Kova. Beside him, Liz had left her short brown hair down. Behind them, Cake wore an identical orange headband around his dark hair, while Allie returned to the dual braids on her head. 

"I was the Yellow Lion," Hunk said, pointing out Cake. He couldn't contain his excitement anymore. 

"I know, Dad," Cake said, tears beginning to fall from his eyes. Hunk stared at Cake while he pulled up a picture on his arm screen. It showed a smiling Hunk with a little Cake, smiles wide and eyes sparkling. Hunk wore a spacesuit, while little Cake wore a yellow shirt with a small sticker that read 'MY DAD IS A PALADIN'. Cake looked up from the picture to Hunk, who did the same. Before Hunk could stand, Cake ran into his father's arms, crying into his shoulder. The other Paladins, the current ones, barely had time to get out of the way. Kova was directly in Pidge's line of sight, but there was nothing there. 

"You said you were Shiro's kid, right?" Pidge asked, getting Kova and Caleb's attention. Pidge wore the bodysuit of her armor underneath the poncho, now sewn at the open ends to form short sleeves. The rest of the loose pocho was tied by the random long strip on the back of the poncho. 

"Yes, but there is someone you'd rather meet first," Kova said, smiling slyly. (ALLITERATION). Kova walked towards the other door, the other teens stepped back to give Pidge room to move around. Their grins were wide as Kova opened the door, turning on the lights. A pillow flew in the direction of her head, with muffled grumbling coming from the bed. Thankfully, Kenny had arrived. 

"Hey, we have someone for you to meet." More grumbling come from a mass of blankets on the bed, missing a pillow. Kova carefully stepped further into the room, ever closer to the bed. "C'mon, it'll be good for you." Even more grumbling, but at least Kova could hear it. She grabbed an edge of the blanket, pulling it away from the being's face. "Keith, that's a very rude thing to say to someone." Keith's dark hair barely peeked out of the white sheets, turning to glare at Kova. 

"Keith?" Pidge whispered, eyes wide. "Keith Kogane?" That was enough to lift Keith out of bed, to stare at the woman on the other side of the room. Kova stepped out of the way just as Keith launched out of bed to embrace Pidge. Crying, they fell to the floor. Pidge leaned into his shoulder, grabbing fistfuls of Keith's vest. Keith had one hand on Pidge's head, combed into her light brown hair, while the other easily wrapped around her back. Cake and Hunk stood together to watch the scene unfold, with Hunk's arm wrapped around Cake's shoulders. Kenny silently sobbed in the doorway, watching his parents. Ten years. He waited ten years. 

Kova smiled at the happy reunion, already wondering what they would do. Pidge's next words, though, struck a lightning bolt through Kova's heart. As Pidge sniffled, and Keith wiped his tears away, they pulled away from the other to meet each other's eyes. 

"Now," Pidge started, wiping away a tear. "Let's find our daughter."

I hate hate hate Lance angst because nine times out of ten its all really random and dramatic headcanons of Lance being suicidal (that's not to say Lance can’t be suicidal but many headcanons I read for him make him overly pitiful to the point that his whole character revolves around how sad he is) and the rest of the team being oblivious assholes who say a bunch of rude dumb shit to Lance until he either mentions something or it’s revealed though context that he’s depressed and then SUDDENLY everyone is crying over poor Lance like he’s the only one to ever be sad ever! 

Pidge lost 2/3 of her family and chose to leave her mother her one remaining family member to go find them! Shiro almost died! Shiro did die and now has to live in the body of a person that tried to kill everyone he knows and loves!! Hunk  had to reconcile the fact that he must become an elite fighter when normally he avoids conflict like the plague! plus he just wants to go home and away from all this suffering you don’t think HE misses his family?! they were captured when he returned to earth and he was told they couldn’t be rescued you don’t think that hurt? not to mention Keith is a literal orphan who grew up alone he’s even self aware enough to admit that he pushes people he cares about away so they won’t leave him first! those are some heavy complex emotions that Keith must think about often!! it might even I don’t know explain why he uses his anger to create barriers between him and others? Allura LOST HER ENTIRE PLANET that residual sadness and depression doesn’t go away with one episode of saying goodbye to her father I’m sorry it just doesn’t. same with Coran!

ok and even if Lance’s family (for whatever reason) were bad to him or never validated his feelings or never had time for him that’s perfectly valid but what I see is headcanons where he uses that abuse to make others feel guilty for mistreating him. actually a lot of these Langst headcanons are just guilt traps to make the reader feel bad for him in a way that’s totally dysfunctional! even characters like Hunk or even Shiro on occasion that are sympathetic to Lance when he’s sad sound like they’re just enabling him and allowing him to dump his problems on them without reciprocating the support! how many ‘self care tumblr advice’ posts are there that tell you that it’s ok to stop talking to friends who don't make the same time for you that you do for them? don’t they call that abuse?? you don’t think that the other paladins would get tired of Lance’s bottomless negativity? nihilism can be funny but not to the extent that it starts to become a broken record and I’m so tired of this Langst bullshit I’m not sorry.
