fic rec friday 18
welcome to the eighteenth fic rec friday! where, on friday, i rec five of my favourite fics.
1. A Kind Of Cosmic Joke by @eatdirt
And it's not like it's a big deal. It's decidedly not a big deal. Really it's hardly a deal at all. It's just that, maybe, in the trick of the light, if you squint and turn your head just so, Keith is…
Keith is big.
nothing in the entire history of voltron legendary defender, nay the history of voltron entirely, is funnier than the moment where lance called keith grizzled. he absolutely deserves to be clowned on for that for eternity, even in modern aus, like this fic. lance freaking out about keith getting bigger is funny in every universe in every way and this fic nails it lol
2. only a hippopotamus will do by perfchan
Lance walks into the kitchen and stops. Physically stops, the cup in his hand that’s in need of a refill completely forgotten.
He turns, slowly. Raises an eyebrow. Are those...cookies? He blinks.
Yep. He leans in closer to inspect. Sugar cookies in the shape of pine trees. Green icing, mostly, with the stars on top slathered on in yellow. Well. They’re sort of messy, more like green and yellow blobs, actually. But that’s clearly the intention. Sprinkles for ornaments.
Christmas cookies.
There’s a whole plate of them---a paper plate, stacked high with handmade cookies, wrapped in plastic wrap---and they just randomly appeared. Right here on his kitchen counter.
Lance huffs out little sigh and shakes his head. Maybe mutters something under his breath. But he doesn’t give it much thought once he’s left the kitchen. Afterall, his perpetually cranky, sourfaced roommate basically lives to do weird shit to annoy him. Or something. Lance has found that living with Keith means one thing: expect the unexpected.
And everything tends to get a little crazier when the holidays roll around.
sweetheart keith! overdramatic lance! yes yes yes! and i mean overdramatic lance in this fic lmfao he is epitome dramaqueen bisexual. this fic kills me tho bc for starters its a modern au, and i fckn love modern aus, but further still it is an au wherein lance gets keith as a roommate entirely bc he finds keith hot and his smile breathtaking. what a dumbass nerd. love him
3. Trying Times by @shyfoxes
Keith comes back Hot and Lance has a crisis on the bottom bunk.
u know those fics that make u fan ur face a little? not necessarily bc it’s explicit or anything but bc its just so swoony and romantic and shit and ur embarrassed about how affected u are?? that’s this fic.
4. As If by @surveycorpsjean
The five times Lance was his impulse control, and the one time he wasn't.
y’all know me with 5+1s. i love this one in particular tho bc keith is such a prick lmao. i love when keith is rough and scowly and doesnt handle other people well and can’t emote to save his life. i love when he loves deeply and endlessly with his whole heart but in the least conventional possible way, and i love fics where lance slowly learns to recognise the strange ways in which keith says i-love-you and this fic kills that
5. A Human Thing by @xirayn
Lance comes through a wormhole as a woman. It doesn't change much. aka Lance is gender fluid so getting gender bent by space magic only presents one problem, which turns out not to be Keith.
“Lance, can we just talk? After that you can go back to avoiding me.” Lance scoffed even as her eyes remained stubbornly forward. “I’m not avoiding you.” “Then what are you doing?” That earned him a glare, which would have been annoying if not for how happy Keith was to have her looking at him again. “I’m being a good partner and giving you space while I'm not your type.” Keith crossed his arms and met her eyes with a glare of his own, brow furrowed and lips a tight line. “Not my type?” Lance let out a long sigh of exasperation. “Female, Keith. I don't want you to feel like you have to force yourself to be attracted to women just because your boyfriend currently is one.”
genderfluid lance loml! this fic explores that entire concept so so well, even with the complications of extablished klance and team dynamics and UGH this fic is genuinely one of my faves. the slow trickle to the reveal near the end was planted there the whole time, but i was so caught up that i didnt realise it so when it finally came to light i was gagged!!
that’s it for today!! i’ll see y’all back next friday for the next fic rec post!!!

⋆ ̊。⋆୨♡୧⋆ ̊。⋆
The familiar sounds of his ringtone woke Chan up with a grunt. He made some unintelligible noises before groggily opening his eyes to check the time. 2:31 it read.
“Shit.”
Chan cursed as he quickly swiped his fingers across the screen accepting the call.
“Channie-hyung?” Chan assumed it was Felix by the unique deep timbre in the voice, realizing he didn’t bother checking the contact.
“Mhm ‘lix?” Chan sleepily replied.
“Hyung? Where are you? You said you’d be home by midnight.” There was a worrying undertone to Felix’s voice that made Chan cringe.
“Sorry lixie, I fell asleep at the studio. I’m packing up now, I’ll be home in fifteen.” Chan answered as he began powering off his monitor and packing his laptop.
“It’s alright hyung, get home safe.” Chan heard Felix sigh near the end of his sentence.
“Course lix, see you soon.” Chan couldn’t keep the tiny smile from growing on his face at his dongsaengs concern. He hung the phone up and finished packing his things. Chan stood there staring off into the distance. Unable to shake the deep emptiness he’s felt lately. It feels wrong. Why is he lonely? He has so many friends and his members are always around. Why does he feel empty? He’s happy, he’s made it. Chan sighs once more trying, and failing, to pull himself together as he swings the door open.
⋆ ̊。⋆୨♡୧⋆ ̊。⋆
Chan heard as incoherent whispers died down at his arrival. He turned the corner to be met with, expectedly, Felix’s face. Unexpectedly, Changbins.
“Hyung! Your home.” Felix kept his voice soft spoken as he approached, Chan assumed to not wake the other kids sleeping.
“Hi lixie.” Chan warmly smiled at Felix before accepting his embrace with a content sigh. There was a cough leading Chan’s attention to the other person in the room.
“Hey Changbin, what are you doin’ up? Normally you're out by like, ten.” Chan laughs to hopefully ease the suffocating tension in the room. It didn’t work.
“Felix told me you keep coming home late.” Changbin clears his throat as he speaks , clearly trying not to come off too aggressive. Too bad Chan knows him better than himself.
“Oh, yeah uh sorry I fell asleep again.” Chan awkwardly replies with nervous eyes. Felix and Changbin share a discontent glance and Felix sighs before he speaks up again.
“H-Hyung we don't want to sound overbearing or anything but, you’ve been staying late kind of a lot lately and we uhm” a pause. “We just want to make sure you're sleeping enough and taking care of yourself.” Felix rambles on with nervous gestures and fidgets that make Chan’s heart squeeze with guilt. Why does he keep doing this to them? Just because he felt a little lonely? Chan was wracked with deep guilt and frustration towards himself.
“Yeah channie-hyung, everyone’s sorta noticed but lixie made us realize it was a bit more.. Concerning than originally.” Changbin sighed out with guilt in his gaze. No, that wasn’t right, Changbin shouldn’t feel guilt. Chan should.
Wait, ‘everyone’? Fuck chan really did it this time. He broke his gaze and shook his head lightly to clear his thoughts.
“I’m really sorry guys, I didn’t mean for this to become a recurring thing, I just got so focused on work and making sure we kept up with our schedule.” Chan confessed avoiding the twin pair of worrying eyes.
“It’s alright hyung, but try not to let it happen again yea? We aren’t mad or anything, we just want to make sure you're okay.” Felix gave him a tiny smile. Changbin nodded in agreement.
“Yeah of course, let’s get you to bed though sorry I kept you both up.” Chan returned the small smile before walking further inside, moving their shoulders along with him. He received two small nods before he led them into their respective rooms.
Walking into his own room he let out another deep sigh. How many is that by now by the way? Before turning to his bathroom to brush his teeth.
Chan let his thoughts run as he auto-piloted his night routine. How could he let it get bad enough the kids realized? Gosh he can’t believe he’d worried them so much, he needs to get over whatever this weird feeling is so he can be there for everyone, he's the leader for god’s sake, shouldn’t he know better?
“Fuck.” Chan muttered as he stared at his reflection in the mirror. He looks terrible, no wonder they all noticed. Chan shook his head and returned to his bedroom flopping onto his bed and pulling out his phone. He’ll scroll on twitter for a bit before he sleeps.
Chan mindlessly scrolls, a few posts making him chuckle lightly, STAY’s were funny. He paused as he saw a post talking about the nostalgia of childhood cartoons. Chan felt himself smile imagining little Chris watching spongebob and adventure time in his living room. Chan felt a yearning grow in his chest. He wishes he could just be a kid again. Harmlessly watching cartoons and chugging down pineapple juice boxes, gosh he wishes. Chan feels his eyes tug, letting sleep consume him as thoughts of legos and car toys fill his mind.
⋆ ̊。⋆୨♡୧⋆ ̊。⋆
Chan’s eyes flutter open to a loud thud. He swiftly picks up his phone to read the time displayed, 11:21. Shit way later than he wanted. He begrudgingly dragged himself into a sitting position on his bed sighing. Fuck hes not 10 years old and watching cartoons is he. Why is that still on his mind? Whatever, no time to dwell. He took a deep breath before standing and making his way to figure out what the thud was.
Chan walked out of the hallway to, well, quite the sight.
Jeongin and Hyunjin were playfully arguing and pushing each other over some rpg game on the screen. Felix and Jisung were frantically running around the kitchen with - what Chan assumes is - pancake batter smeared and splattered in various areas. Timers and blenders are going off along with the pancake mess too.
Finally, Chan drags his eyes to Changbin and Seungmin lying on the carpet going through bags of old clothes. Wait where is-
“Leeknow?” Chan asks aloud, scanning his eyes across the room once more to be sure he didn’t miss him among the chaotic scenery. All eyes snap to him immediately causing him to tense.
“Bathroom!” He hears a distant voice call out in monotone from down the hall. Ah, there he is. Chan gives the kids an apprehensive nod before backing up and spinning on his heel down the hall.
“Soooo why are you in the bathroom and not joining the- well, i don’t know what it is exactly. I don’t think ‘hangout’ quite captures whatever is happening in there.” Chan drags his eyes around the bathroom as he speaks, finally landing them on the other boy.
Leeknow pauses brushing his teeth to give Chan a long glance before spitting out his toothpaste.
“I escaped.” He stated blandly. Fair enough. Chan cleared his throat to speak again before he was interrupted by a yell from the not-hangout in the living room.
“Channie hyung!! We need help!” Chan couldn’t decipher whose voice it was, it might have been multiple? Nonetheless he sped down the hallway to see what the dilemma was.
“What’s going on?” Chan asked as he reached the kitchen. Although it seems he doesn't quite need a verbal reply. Felix is trying to stop the electric mixer from spinning as it tosses even more pancake batter around the room. Chan’s eyes widen and he rushes over to look for a solution.
“We just wanted some pancakes..” He sees Jisung cry with a pout out of his peripheral vision. Chan sighs - fondly but he won’t admit that - before quickly running to pull the plug out of the outlet, stopping the mixer.
He gets multiple odd blinks before Jisung speaks.
“Why didn’t we think of that?��� He asks dumbfounded as he shares a glance with the other boy in the kitchen.
“Thank you channie-hyung you’ve saved our lives!!” Jisung dramatically exhales as he drapes himself along Chan. Chan rolls his eyes and pats Jisung’s head.
“Yahhh, look at the mess you two have made.” Chan sighs as he scans the kitchen. The two boys' expressions grow sheepish as they nervously chuckle.
“Well get to cleaning!” Chan yells out as the two scramble to get rags and towels. Chan chuckles and helps them all begin to clean. The whole situation just reminds Chan of the time he caused a huge mess cleaning pancakes with his mom when he was young. Chan pauses his motion of swiping the towel. Huh, there it is again.

Can I ask from this ask game : https://www.tumblr.com/toomanyfandomsthings/749729499738996736/send-me-a-ship-and-a-number-and-ill-tell-you?source=share
No. 2, 10, 11, 12, 15 for Merthur, Klance and Drarry....Thanks 🌻
I don't mind being asked :). @comingfromastatechampionasshole, I hope this is alright with you, since it's your post. ^^ 2. What their love letters look like
Merthur: I imagine that Arthur would be the one writing love letters. Merely because Gwen told him he was unromantic and that Merlin WOULD do it. Merlin doesn't do it, however, because Arthur keeps calling him a girl. Besides, giving him flowers does the job just fine. So Arthur writes and writes and doesn't ever dare to give them to Merlin because of how much he himself cringes. Merlin finds the attempts between tax reports and the drawings Arthur sometimes makes of him. Merlin never mentions it either but they both know he's seen them.
Klance: Lance writes a DOZEN letters all the time for Keith. He makes a full show of it. But he also gives friendship love letters to Hunk and Allura and Pidge and everyone who appreciates it. Once in a while, Keith would give him one back and every single time, Lance starts to cry when no one is looking.
Drarry: Draco. But it's not love letters, it's HATE letters. It's little pictures of Harry getting electrocuted or sending goblins with insult poems at Harry. Once, he accidentally mixed a drawing of them holding hands up with one where he slapped him and when he noticed, he nearly obliviated Harry.
10. What TV shows they watch together, and which ones they hide from the other
Merthur: They watch Disney movies and specifically King Arthur movies together. Arthur hides that he's watching BBC Merlin though because he loves seeing Merlin use magic and wants to know what he's done the entire time. Merlin keeps that very show from Arthur, unsure how Arthur would react. Unbeknownst to him, Arthur keeps gushing about him every single episode.
Klance: They watch - I would say anything together. From documentaries to soap operas, they watch everything together. Keith hides that he's watching Mamma Mia though because he knows Lance will be insufferable when he finds out.
Drarry: When I say they watch everything, I mean EVERYTHING. Draco doesn't like to admit it but he's really fascinated with muggle technology and especially the effects, so he watches it all and then talks about how "shitty" those effects are, even though he's secretely amazed. Harry knows and teases him about it all the time.
11. What their first impression was of each other Merthur: instant attraction. Have you seen the episode? They were flirting. Merlin =brave idiot, Arthur = kind pratt Klance: Lance was amazed at first, completely focused on him which then turned into jealousy and an awkward crush. Keith didn't notice Lance at first, then slowly got to know him as Lance wiggled his annoying habits into Keith's life and Keith never wanted to let him go again.
Drarry: Draco had always wanted to meet THE Harry Potter and be friends with him, from the very day he learned they were the same age. When they met, he was shocked to find Harry to randomly antagonize him for reasons Draco couldn't fathom. Harry just saw a blond guy who reminded him all too much of his bullying cousin and instantly disliked him.
12. What they do for their anniversary Merthur: Arthur would absolutely forget about it until Merlin reminds him. Then Arthur would make Merlin plan a picnic, which Merlin has long planned anyway. And then they ride out and end up in trouble. It happens every year, the bandits are basically family by now.
Klance: Stargazing. But like, in the black or blue lion on a different planet. Lance really likes water planets and Keith likes deserts, so they switch it up every year.
Drarry: Draco would be OBSESSED with anniversaries. He makes monthly anniversaries and he keeps annoying Harry with it all the time. Like, "It's our 34th monthly anniversary, I GOTTO call at the Ritz to get a table!" Meanwhile, Harry is like: "He just loves going out and I like when he's happy." Anyways, Draco sometimes REALLY blows it out of proportion and arranges a meeting with the queen or something.
15. What they would change about each other
Merthur: ... "I don't want you to change. I want you to always be you."
Klance: At first it was the Mullet, but when Keith came back from the abyss, Lance is furious that Keith is now taller than him. So it's that, the height. Keith however, he's the jealous type, he's make Lance flirt with him more often. And yeah. MORE. Just so Lance doesn't flirt so much with everyone else anymore.
Drarry: Draco has a list. A very long, very detailed, very annoying list. He means absolutely none of it. Harry wishes Draco would stop writing that list. This was very fun to do haha XD I hope it was fun to read, too ^^

Skyler's October 2024 AO3 Recs
Boysssss, I have been slacking with sharing other people's fics, so I'm gonna work on being better with that. Below the cut is a non-exhaustive list of fics I've started/finished in October 2024 (i.e. all the ones that didn't get too buried in my AO3 history page and aren't PWP) that I enjoyed. I tried to sort fics from least to most traffic, so the higher on each list, the more it deserves some attention!
I didn't read a ton this month, so we've got a pretty short list. Expect the same in November, but December is usually a big reading month for me.
I enjoy stuff others find triggering, so particularly in the whump-focused section, make sure you read the tags first. I didn't relist triggers that the authors already noted on the stories.
More Whump-Focused
Since October's weird because of Whumptober, I'm just going to link to my whumptober reblogs tag to knock all the Whumptober fills out! I liked all of these, but there are far too many to go into detail on. You'll find a lot of shorter fics under this tag because I mainly follow people who tried to complete every day. It's mostly VLD in there, but I know a few FMA fics made it through! If you're as much of a Keith stan as I am, definitely hit all of @perpetuallylatetothefandomparty's posts under this tag. There are more than what I reblogged for everyone in this tag as well, so follow these people for more! I just burned out halfway through the month and needed a break from oneshots. You'll see 'em reblogged later though.
Swoon by Le_Tournesol: pre-Klance. short oneshot. chaotic dumbasses keith and lance, my beloved.
Even the People in Your Dreams Will Lie to You by popering: Klance, but the ship's not so much the focus imo. LONG. technically, I did NOT find this in October but I haven't hyped it up nearly enough yet, so here it is anyway. also, I re-read it in October, so maybe that counts. follows keith and lance being rescued from galra captivity. the author describes it as a science fiction mindfuck and that is so accurate. plenty of angsty content, but not like... over the top. like it all has a plot purpose. this may have usurped my previous all-time favorite fic... unfinished but I have no reason to believe OP won't come through with the rest, and it is close to complete. catch me in the comments as I work on my re-read.
The Future Freaks Me Out by gghostnebula: Klance. longfic. I forget how long ago I found this, but it COUNTS because I read it again this month. (I say as though I don't reread it every few months obsessively.) when I say my ideal fic... very Keith-focused. lots of hurt/comfort. slowburn Klance with fake dating. painful backstory that gets resolved. somehow takes a couple tropes I hate and makes me love them. heavily inspired something i'm writing now, so if you don't like it, you're gonna have a bad time following me in a few months... if this fic has no diehard fans then i am dead.
More Ship-Focused
To Whom It May Concern by heavily_caffeinated: Klance. short. a follow-up fic to Dear Reader in the relatively near future! modern AU. Cute & a nice little chance to get back into that AU for a bit. Strongly recommend reading Dear Reader first, but I guess you don't have to.
to breathe in this mirage by existwound: Klance, but pre-slash (sort of). there's time travel, so technically it's also not pre-slash, but you see the vision here. pushing that border between what I consider medium and long for a fic. canon-verse. this is 1) adorable, 2) just that little bit of angsty, and 3) so fucking well-written. (am I biased bc I love existwound? yes, what of it?) unfinished but I trust Astra with my life, so the other chapter will come.
A King and His Fisherman by heavily_caffeinated: Klance. long and finished! modern AU. sold me on dad Lance (coming from someone who typically hates fics involving child characters).
it's you that's haunting me by perfchan: Klance. long and finished! this is the first fic, but it's a whole finished series. ghost-hunting AU (I know, I also didn't think I liked those but this is different, I swear). I binge read this whole series in like... 3 days?
And just in general, here are my AO3 bookmarks for everything else I loved but didn't read this month. The include and exclude filters are your friends, so pls no bully for what I like thx. I think we've all spotted my weird niche by now.

Inspiration (klance soundcloud au) Ch. 3:
The Meeting
-In Keith's POV-
Waiting was difficult.
The whole process of going in public trying not to get recognized was difficult.
Hiding was difficult, especially since I had to wear a dumb wig on my head for some type of 'disguise'. What hairstyle even is this, a mullet? Hopefully no one will recognize me.
Wait.
I could just remove all the risks, and just walk out that exit door, and forget anything ever happened. This is crazy, what am I even doing? This is too spontaneous. I just need rest and I'll be right in the head. Why go through this, for a muse? What if I-
"Boarding time for Arizona, gate 11, Arizona, gate 11."
I guess there is no turning back now.
I gathered my things and headed to the gate. I wonder what he’ll be like. He sounds very smart, and I like his voice. It's that type of voice you could fall asleep to. So melodic. I wonder what he’ll be in person.
-----
I board the plane and immediately get settled. I watch the flight attendant go over emergency procedures, then put my headphones on. I open my phone to look at the album cover. You can kind of make out some facial features on the album, but barely. I wish I got a better look while on call. I put one of his songs on play and put an eyemask on, but I couldn't rest. My heart was beating out of my chest and I couldn't sit still. My leg was bouncing up and down out of nervousness and I got a tap on my shoulder from my seat neighbor, asking if I could stop. I then resorted to tugging and tying my hoodie strings to keep my heart from exploding out of my chest. This is all so stupid but I can’t keep my mind straight. What am I doing?
--------------- -Back to Garrison University-
"THIS IS A REPEAT AFTER ME SONG!"
"*sigh* This is a repeat after me song."
While Lance was cleaning the dorm, he came across his middle school songbook, and continued to torture Hunk with the childish songs.
"~THERE WAS A MOOSE~"
"... there was a moose."
"No, no, no, Hunk! You gotta sing it, like this! ~There was a moose~!"
"Fine. There was a moose~."
"That's more like it! ~HE LIKED TO DRINK A LOT OF JUICE~!"
"He liked to drink a lot of juice~"
"~THERE WAS. A. MOOSE!~"
"There was a moose~"
"~HE LIKED TO DRINK A LOT OF JUICE~!"
"~He liked to drink a lot of juice~"
All of a sudden, there was a knock on their door. Lance quickly straightened himself up and walked to the door.
When he opened the door, there stood Shay, with a shy look on her face.
"Hi, is Hunk here?"
Hunk's face brightened up as he headed towards the door.
"Yeah, he's right here!"
"Shay! What are you doing here?"
Lance just stood back, completely tuning out their voices and focusing on their faces. He wanted this type of relationship. One that isn't one-sided at all. Someone to fall completely head over heels for. Being bi was pretty difficult to confess, but everyone accepted him, so that's a positive. Lance just quietly shuffled over to his bed, plugged in his headphones, and listened to the song once again. He was analyzing the lyrics, and trying to find the meaning. Turning over a new leaf? In what way? How? He kept pondering on the meaning, until he just shut his eyes and let the song just loop over and over again. He was just about to drift into sleep when he felt a disturbance make a dip in his bed. He opened his eyes to Hunk just grinning like an idiot.
"What's up with you?" said Lance, honestly curious of his sudden hype.
Hunk was blushing at this point, and he started explaining. "So like Shay came over to ask for some recipes, since I brought a whole bunch, and after we talked, she kissed me! She kissed me, Lance! Shay is literally the best, and I can't believe that she likes me! It's just so crazy,--"
Once again, Hunk was tuned out and Lance saw the pure happiness and joy in Hunk's face. A human did that, no, love did. Then it struck him.
"Sorry, Hunk, mind if I write some stuff down right now?" said Lance as he scrambled to find his songbook. Hunk just shrugged and fell back-first onto his bed with a heavy love-filled sigh.
------------------------ -In Keith's POV-
I wanted more time than this. An hour's flight wasn't nearly enough time. I don't even know what The Tailor fully looks like! His song covers are only silhouettes, and the call barely showed his face. Okay, Keith, you got this.
I slowly got up from my airplane seat, grabbed my backpack, and headed to the baggage claim. Wait, how will I check into a hotel without getting recognized? Can I ask Lance to check in for me? Yeah! I'll do that. Stupid stupid stupid. Why haven’t I planned this out before?
I took out my phone and texted the number Katie gave me.
>Hey, it's Chief Keith. Mind sending me your address?
-------------------- -In Lance's POV-
I was tuning up my guitar when I got a text from Chief Keith. Hunk had left and met up with Shay after Lance hyped him up to go ask her out. I shot a text back with the address and instructions to Keith and continued to tune. After getting a good sound from my old guitar, I started singing. There was this song I had adored since I first heard it. It’s a simple song that I desperately want to apply to my life one day. I want to have someone in mind. So when I have someone this song applies to, I know it's real. I'll know it's true love.
-In Keith's POV-
Getting out of my Uber, and telling him to hold on for me to come back, I got out and looked at the University. The same one I went to years ago. I grabbed my suitcase and my backpack, and headed for the dorms. The rooms weren't in a hallway like most dorms are, but outside, kind of like a motel. It was better for fresh air I guess. Building C, room 7. I walk down the sidewalk, and hear a vague tune. As I come closer to room 7, the tune gets louder. I stood there, in awe. It may be the 8 o'clock sunset, because it all just felt like a dream. The colors from the sky were shining at the door, as I listened and just soaked it in. Like I was transported to another beautiful reality. I stood quietly, in front of the door, listening.
-In Lance's POV-
"I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend. Lucky to have been where I have been. Lucky to be coming home again."
I put myself in the shoes of others as I sang the song. I put myself in Hunk's shoes, since he's practically head over heels with Shay, and it's admirable. I put myself in my father's shoes, because even though they’ve been together for ages, he loves my mom so much, and you can tell. I want to experience what they experienced.
" Lucky we're in love in every way. Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed. Lucky to be coming home someday."
As I continued to strum the chords, I felt a soft knock on my door. Must be Hunk. I continued to strum as I spoke up to answer the door.
-In Keith's POV-
I heard a small "Come in, Hunk, I'm not naked." and was slightly confused. When I opened the door, a boy was on a small dorm bed, strumming a beat up guitar. I recognized him from the call. He was tan and had a face carved by angels. The dim sunset lighting from the slightly opened door didn't help my awe. His features seemed enhanced, and his long eyelashes moved with slight movement as he watched his fingers move to different chords and strum the guitar. I saw a small grin creep up on the boy's face, was this Lance?
"How'd the date go?" he said with a small chuckle.
I was obviously confused, so I let out a small reply.
"What date?" I managed to croak, still in awe by this boy's beauty.
The boy looked up at me with first a look of confusion, then slight embarrassment. He gently put his guitar down, dusted off his clothes and then stood up.
"Chief Keith! Sorry for that, my roommate just went on a date with his girl, and I thought you were him. The name's Lance, and I heard you liked my music? I'm a huge fan of your newest song, by the way!"
He walked up to me and held out his hand to give me a handshake. I hesitated but shook his hand. Lance. He looked and sounded so much better in person. Even the way he said his name was miles better than on the phone. No Keith shake those thoughts! Act professional!
"It's an honor to finally meet you, but just Keith is fine. And thanks, I'm a huge fan too."
In all this mesmerization, I forgot the purpose of being there. I snapped out of my trance and realized I was still holding his hand from shaking it, so I let it go and put my hand behind my head.
"Uhhh… would you mind checking in for me at a hotel? I really don't want any publicity for being here and checking in on my own might attract attention…”
Way to go, Keith. Sounding like a scammer more and more. I felt a bit hot, so I took off my hood.
Lance just nodded, then smiled, and then looked like he was going to burst out laughing. After a bit, he roared out in a joyous laughter. I just looked at him, and asked, "What's so funny?"
After calming down, he pointed to my head, laughed a bit more, then managed to say "Is that a mullet??"
Realizing that I was indeed wearing a mullet wig, I just dropped my facial expression. "It's a disguise, I had to!" I hate being laughed at, even by a strangely attractive boy.
"Let's just head out, before it's too late." Lance said wiping a faux laughing tear from his eye. I started to drag my suitcase out of the door, when Lance grabbed it from me, leading me to the idling Uber car. Wow. What a gentleman.
I told the Uber to drive to the Arizona Inn, and turned my head towards Lance. I met my muse, and he probably will never know how much he means to me. The car ride was awkward, but more likely just to me, since Lance was sitting on his phone and occasionally looking out the window to see where we were going. I followed his lead, took out my phone, and pretended to scroll through socials to make it seem more natural.
We arrive, and I turn to Lance to discuss the plan.
"Uh, so you just go in, use your credit card, and I'll pay you back. It’s just so it can be in your name and I won't get tipped off by anyone. Got it?"
Lance just nodded and sashayed into the entrance. His confidence was mesmerizing.
Minutes later, he returned with a small brochure, a baggage cart, and the room key. I let it a sigh of relief as I got out of the Uber, and started to take my backpack out of the trunk. As I reached for the backpack, but Lance swiftly grabbed it and laid it on the baggage cart. Damn. That was… oddly attractive. I gave him a small smile, and took my suitcase, and laid it beside my backpack.
"You know," said Lance, all while closing the trunk and running his fingers through his hair, "I honestly thought you would be a lot more stuck up than you are. You know, since you're famous and all."
I took the handle of the cart and turned to Lance, and gave him a small smile.
"Guess you can't judge a book by its cover, huh."
Lance chuckled. "I guess not. I'll see you tomorrow, mullet!" Lance said while ducking his head into the Uber.
I rolled my eyes. Mullet… pshhh. I watched the car drive off, and I pushed the trolley inside and onto an elevator. Today was certainly eventful, now I have to see what tomorrow will bring. Just the thought of it. Hanging out with Lance. I smiled a small smile as the elevator doors closed.

Fic Writers Showcase Game
@there-must-be-a-lock tagged me!
Rules: Go to your published works on AO3 and list the first fic you ever published there, the last fic you published, any fic that you wrote for a fandom/ship only once, your favorite fic you wrote in the fandom/ship that has the most works, the fic you wish more people read, the fic you agonized over the most, the fic that sprang fully formed from your mind without any effort, and a work you are proud of—for whatever reason.
~~
First fic published on Ao3: That would be The Other Side of the Mirror, an Earth-3 continuity mess with a JayDick main pair, featuring Roy as a 3rd PoV. First chapter was posted in September, 2014, currently 200k, 20 chapters , and as of yet unfinished, though I think as it stands it ends on a decently hopeful note. I do still recall the main plot points of where it goes, and would like to finish it someday.
Last fic published: I posted the first chapter of Five Finger Discount just yesterday, which is the 5th piece in my Worth Counting series, an alpha!Slade/alpha!Jason series exploring a variety of kinks but with a focus on non-formal dom/sub vibes, competence/strength kink, and mostly-play fighting. (The last finished story was Shifting Into Fourth which is the 4th piece of that same series, so, I'm a little bit on a theme here.)
Fandom/ship I only wrote once: I uh. I wrote Hamilton/Jefferson/Madison room-where-it-happens porn. For the Hamilton musical. It's called Do Whatever It Takes and I think it is still the thing that makes me feel the most sinfully dirty of all the things I've ever written. So there's that.
I also have Let's Be Clear, which is my only fic set anywhere in the MCU, and is a Daredevil oneshot of an asexual!Wesley being invited to join a Fisk/Vanessa relationship, as I vibed real hard with Wesley as a character and never really got over his unfortunate demise.
(Honorable mention to my four stories that are technically fandoms of their own, but all fall under the 'DCU' umbrella, being for the Arkham games, two shows in the CW Arrowverse, and the Teen Titans cartoon.)
Favorite fic in most popular fandom/ship: This is a little hard to quantify. Technically 'DCU (Comics)' comes in at 93k in stories, which would make JayDick the most popular pairing, which makes my favorite story Captain's Privileges. It's a Star Trek mirror!verse fusion with Captain!Dick and Engineer!Jason and so many unhealthy relationships everywhere, and I love it.
However! 'DCU (Comics)' is a very broad umbrella and it's not really fair to say it's my biggest fandom, since the slice I belong to is much smaller. Which means the more accurate winner is Voltron, at 85k stories. I technically have a Klance story but given that it is a big poly clusterfuck dark!fic I really have to actually give this to the second most popular pairing by stat, Sheith. Out of those, I think my favorite is I'm Not That Man, which was an early false-memories/brainwashed!Shiro fic set just before the wormhole split them all up.
Fic I wish more people read: An Extra Shot, hands down. Come read my gen, Wilson-family-focused exploration of what happens if Adeline dies during the attack on Joey! Come read Slade Wilson being forced into confronting the fact that he is a terrible dad and also now a widowed dad of three kids! Come read Billy trying his best to bludgeon all the terrible communicators of this family into actually working things out! READ THIS. THERE'S A SEQUEL IN PROGRESS. IT'S GOOD I SWEAR.
Fic that was hardest to write: I think the award for this has to go to Me, Not Her, a CaptainPan/CaptainSwan piece which I was apparently so frustrated with at some point that I straight up deleted the file. Four years later (no I am not kidding) I had the vague memory of it. Some sketchy thing I could maybe expand, now that I was having thoughts about OUaT again. I pull it out of the (then eternal) trash of Google Drive. It is five thousand words long and needs no more than pretty basic editing and a little padding at the end to round it off. I don't know what the hell was happening with me when I deleted it, but wow, lesson learned.
Fic that popped out fully-formed: I don't recall any that were explicitly like this, but I also don't tend to write like, neat little packaged stories all that often. If I'm writing oneshots they're usually for events. So my best answer to this is probably Fucking Androids? It's a Reed900 relationship origin story that blazed its way out of me during NaNoWriMo one year, named entirely for the sex pun and then in the end absolutely refusing to have any sex in it, so it won that fight. I remember at least most of it coming really, really easy.
Fic I'm proud of: Pulling out a weird little one, here. I'm going to say Take a Ride. It's a JayDick, Gotham City Garage story that I wrote for Firefright's birthday one year, and on reread I actually still really, really like it? It's just a neat apocalyptic-desert vibe relationship building thing, set in the criminally under-explored and rushed GCG world, and I really like how I put Dick together in this one. I recommend it.
~~
Not tagging anyone specific, but if anyone would like to do this as well, feel free!

I love your art, I got into it for the klance art (VR au is great) and freaked out when I saw you had owl house art. You have also gotten me into more fandoms including Arcane and I just finished watching Sk8 the infinity yesterday. I was wondering if you were going to make more Sk8 art or if you are kind of over it, cause I am still hyperfixating on it and I would love if one of my favorite artists added more, cause I've already seen and liked your old sk8 fanart. If not it is fine, I was just wondering. Again, love your art ❤️
thanks a lot! <3 glad you enjoy the au and I have wips of all these things to finish when I can (trying to draw some more TOH rn)
but yeah I also have another sk8 pic to post and then maybe some other wips if I can finish them at some point!
(just had some very stressful weeks so I'm having a hard time staying focused long enough to finish things or even just posting things I already did finish lol)
and I'm glad to hear I'm one of your fav artists! ;v; 💖

you 🤝 me
voltron special interest
oghogogoh hope you dont mind me crawling in your askbox to scream about fictional little people!! again!!
i also liked klance a lot! their dynamic was really fun from the start, with them being rivals and whatnot! i especially started liking klance after their whole "bonding moment", i don't know why, i thought it was very nice :)
tbh yeah,, it was super disappointing how they handled the found family aspect outside of keith and shiro:( i wouldve loved to see more episodes focusing on them as a team, and just bonding together on screen
one part that i did really like was early in the show, when shiro discovered that pidge was katie and they had their conversation where he promised not to tell if pidge wasnt ready :) really gave shiro that older sibling vibe in my opinion!!
i honestly love the nb pidge hc though bc representation is always nice and from the start i thought pidge was very non-comforming, even when they did wear dresses and more "feminine" clothing and such
but honestly. i have so many hcs for that show hahahah, its still a very important show to me bc i started watching it with my then-best friend and have such fond memories of it :) i recently rewatched it actually and while it had its flaws and all, it was still very enjoyable imo
Literally have SO many headcanon and little rewrites in my head. Voltron is cream of the crop as far as dissapointing shows with an interesting premise and likeable characters go.
Idk what convinced me to ship klance tbh i just liked their dynamic and the potential. And i agree the moment with Pidge and Shiro was very sweet, though i always felt so weird about him just saying their name like that without asking WHY pidge was going by something else. But that can be boiled down to the writing not being the best especially in its handling of queer themes.

People mistaken goofiness for unintelligence all the time or general teenage idiocy for stupidity. Canonically when the chips are down and on the occasions the writers gave a shit about him, Lance is not only, like you said, emotionally intelligent, but he’s tactically intelligent too. He’s young and and comes off abrasive but none of his ideas have been genuinely bad. He’s actually very quick to take in a situation and spit out an outcome or an outlook of a previous decision made.
People always forget he was the one who came with the battle plan the first tag team he had with Keith on the Balmera. He was the first person to fight and evade a galran ship and take on a galran army just to buy Hunk time to get Yellow. He was the one to lead and coordinate Allura and Hunk into a firefight with Lotor’s generals when rescuing Pidge’s dad. And was the one who thought to use Allura’s magic to save the team when they were all gravity strapped on that one planet that was going to explode. There’s at least two other examples in s7-8 that has him being the solutions guy.
The lack of acknowledgment by the other characters and by the narrative and the reinforcement of the “lance is stupid” character bashing from The Feud episode did a hell lot of damage in how people perceive lance’s intelligence.
(Fun little forgotten scene here, but lance also beat Pidge and Coran and the ship computer at doing a math computation. So he’s not academically an idiot either.)
That first line is 100% true – and I think that's because so often characters in movie/tv are only given one trait. They are one dimensional, and so the audience can't perceive them as anything else. This is where shows fail, in my opinion – especially with characters who are not as smart. And I'm going to use this example just because I've been watching it recently so it's in my head right now – but Stargate SG-1 gets this right, where other shows tend to fail. Both SG-1 and VLD have the same basic character types: The genius female, the empathetic one, the physically badass quiet one, and the normal one. But SG-1 took the "normal" character and said it's okay because we're going to show his other strengths, and you'll see how vital he is to the team, whereas VLD took the "normal" character and said he's the dumb one. And the most frustrating part of that was because, as you said, they did show Lance being extremely not dumb in a whole lot of instances. Yet, despite all that, it seemed as though the creators were fighting as hard as they could to make him just be the one who did not and would never be useful. But the fact of the matter remains that you need characters like Lance. You need the normal one. The perfect example of this is actually in season 8 (yeah I know). They were stuck on the planet where Keith fought Zethrid for some reason (I've seen it, like, once idk). Pidge, Hunk, Allura and Lance were trying to find their way back to the lions and they got lost. But Lance was like "the lions are that way" and they all freaked out because they didn't understand how Lance of all people could possibly know. And he just responded with something like "well, that mountain was on our left when we were headed away from the lions, so if we keep it on our right, we'll be headed back in the right direction." You need characters like that who just use common sense in a slew of geniuses. You need characters who sometimes just see the simplest solution that others miss because they're too focused on the smartest solution.
This is also (again, as always) why people ship klance so much, because in the instance you mentioned about the plan on the Balmera, Keith didn't immediately shut down Lance's idea. He stopped and thought about it for a second and then acknowledged that it was a better idea. And because of that trust and acknowledgement, it made their own arguments and snide remarks toward the other less…vindictive. It made each jab hit like more like playful teasing rather than a cutting blow. Because there's a huge difference between getting teased by someone who knows your value vs being teased by someone who needs you to feel low so they can feel tall.
(Also what's the math computation you mentioned? I don't remember that.)

Voltron Part 38
Yes, the season 7 wrap-up gets to be it’s own post. Why? Because I said so. Fuck you.
(If y'all expect a literary analysis: Please don't. I just want to share my dumb thoughts)
Honestly. I expected worse
It may just be, because I was warned of the last two seasons so many times. But it wasn’t that bad. Still liked it more then season 4
[It *was* a mediocre season right after a really good season. So maybe the general dislike came from that?]
The episodes at the beginning were the better ones. I’m not really a huge fan of this “Keeping up with the Garrison”-thing
I don’t think that the battles are interesting. I’m here for the characters. So the last battle just was dragging on and on and on...
This season also really liked killing off characters and fake-deaths
And it kinda felt like they reused a lot of the animated shots
Also it kept on introducing new character to which I have no attachment to (Looking at you, 4-eyes and Random ass children)
4-eyes.... Yeeeeaah.
They did a “Bury your gays”, I didn’t really recognise his and Shiro’s realationship as romantic and he basically had no screentime. So. Bad Rep. (The goddamn COW had more screentime than he did!)
My favourite episode was “Sheith flashback! Flasback! Honey, Moustache man shrunk the kids! Flashback! Oh yeah, Allura’s there too”
(Also they actively parraleled 4-eyes with Keith. Which is just another huge Sheith thing. Which I very much enjoyed)
Shiro: Look at how they massacred my boy! He's now more of a mentor-role than one of the core-members. Kinda like moustache man. And I think that’s pretty stupid. I liked him more as a Paladin (Why did he leave the Black Lion? We’ll never know) (The answer’s, Bad Writing)
Keith has kinda grown into his leadership role? It was nice to see him being soft with characters other than Shiro. But it’s weird that he kept on making references to the Red Lion. 
Lance is the Sharpshooter.
But also he had his whole “homesick”-thing since the very first season. And it kinda felt like he should have been the main-focus, when they returned to earth
Hunk finally got the screentime he deserves! He had some angst, some heroic moments... Good for my boy!
Pidge fucking finally got her whole family back. Which I guess is really the end of her arc then... Gurl, you gotta get a new motivation for the last season.
Allura. I’ve got nothing to say really. The season focused on “returning to earth” and she really has no association with that.
Moustache man is honestly still one of my faves. He just want’s to be a Dad to Allura. And I respect that
(He's a single dad, who works two jobs. Who loves his kids and never stops. With gentle hands and the heart of a fighter. He's a survivor)
Sailor Moon and space wolf were just completly forgotten about in the last couple episodes. But I like them. Maybe next season, they'll get more screentime
Krolia’s gone, but at the very end, she was there again? If she’s still in S8, why did they make her temporarely leave?
Klance had some moments. If you squint really, really hard...
Sheith. Aaaah yes, my favourite. Not as many moments as I hoped for but still pretty significant ones
Coming out of the right corner is Shallura! What an unexpected return! With such moments as “being worried space parents together” and “gifting a really fucking ugly arm” !
Allurance kinda seems inevitable now. It’s obviously the ship the show pushes the most. (And it’s straight, so thats a huge factor). I think it’s cute, but if it does become canon it better fucking be not as one-sided as before!
Plance! Plance! PLANCE! Gosh, I live for Plance. They’re just so cute together!
Adashi? Why does this exist? We literally know nothing about 4-eyes?
But, whatever makes you happy (And I’m really sorry for you)
Romura is really fucking cute. And even though it has basically no scenes, it's still somehow one of my favourite ships
Shidge. (I’ve got nothing to say. I just want to make a joke.) Shidge-shipper’s ideal realationship-dynamic is that picture of a small hamster trying to eat a banana
Hunelle came out of nowhere, and I kinda dig it...
Predictions for the last season:
They gotta solve the space witch-problem (After she was literally only in the gameshow episode)
They’ll probably still want us to care about the Random ass children somehow
Give me Furry back. I don’t care how they do it, just make it happen. She deserved better then to be killed off by Lotor
I demand more cute slice of life-episodes!
And either an anime-trope Beach-episode. Or an american cartoon-trope Bodyswitch/ Shopping-episode
It’s probably just gonna end in another big robot battle in which I have no interest in. Won’t it?
Remember when these post were really short? Yeah, me neither.... Only one season left! Once agagin, I just wanna thank everybody for putting up with my bullshit, that are these posts. Glad some of you think I’m funny! And thanks to everyone commenting, liking and reblogging! (Especially the comments explaining some background-infos are nice) Love you all❤!!!

klance debate no8: when did each one develop feelings for the other? discuss
in my opinion: okay here we go
lance: im a firm believer that the entire rivalry was him not understanding what he felt for keith. he had a crush on him ever since the garrison he was infatuated with him and he took it as hatred and jealousy. there might have been some jealousy there too of course. maybe he didnt understand what it meant because he was his first real crush/or he was just coming to terms with his sexuality. i think he truthly believed it was a rivalry and in s3 he started to get closer to keith and started seeing parts of him he never saw before. after becoming his friend and then having him leave after he realised how much he missed him in s4-5. so he realised his feelings for keith were romantic around s5-s6 aka while he was gone or maybe when he came back (all cool bigger and grizzled you cannot tell me that was not bi panic what heterosexual guy calls his bro cooler bigger grizzled???) it all came back to him. he pushed it away and maybe during the space road trip he actually had time and accepted it
keith: i think this one is more complicated. i think he genuinely didnt remember lance from the garrison (check klance debates no6). all he knew about lance was that he started a rivalry randomly with him so he just went with him. later on the bonding moment happened which changed everything for him because he saw the real lance for the first time. maybe at that point he had a fleeting thought like "oh shit he's beautiful" and felt a slight attraction. but after lance denied it happened he got hurt so he dismissed it entirely. then in s3 he got even closer to him and then he started having an actual crush on him. nothing too serious tho he could still somewhat ignore it but he still had a soft spot for lance. he helped him a lot and he was probably his first best friend his age. he was however busier with other stuff so he focused on that. during s4-5 maybe he found himself missing lance in a different way than the rest of them. now after this is where it kinda goes sideways cause the canon keith after s6.... yeah you guys know what im talking about. im gonna do a weird mix of canon and fanon so stay with me. maybe during the abyss he had time reevaluated his feelings and realised they were stronger than he thought. he came back and once again more important stuff going on. and then we go to the space road trip. now with fanon i believe they had more bonding going on with the whole team. klance could have had many convos and cleared out misunderstands from the past (the whole rivalry, keith leaving, how it was for lance when he left, what keith was going to do in the end of s4) keith developed even stronger feelings for lance. with the game show ep i dont buy for a sec his reason (very dick move of him ngl) i believe he panicked because he was scared that if he was gonna say good things about lance he would accidentally confess. and yeah at this point the feelings are strong

Voltron Keith Fics
Mainly involve Whump fics
The Galra capture Pidge and present her with a choice. Either she makes the weapon they want… or someone dies. Pidge prides herself on her genius, on her logic. But this? This is not a choice. This is torture. She’s being forced to decide if the universe’s fate outweighs the lives of a few individuals and no one, no one, should be allowed to make that call. She has to though. Again and again.
But when a familiar face is dragged before her she can feel her resolve crumbling. Because Keith is not a nameless prisoner. He is her friend, her family. And yet his blood is already dripping from her hands.
Biiitch. I cried. This fic shows a great bond between Keith and Pidge (brotp for life) and how Pidge deals with Keith getting hurt and. oh my god just read it please. @icypantherwrites
Everyone told his pop not to run back into that building. He did anyway. Keith let out a choked sound as he sprinted into the burning complex in search of Lance. Like father like son. He just… just hoped this had a happier ending.
This is a short one but it features Keith being a reckless idiot as usual.
While responding to a distress beacon from another ship, Lance and Keith become prey for something evil hunting in the dark.
Featuring dying Keith and BAMF Lance.
An encounter with an ancient creature leaves Keith a child and Shiro reliving the past. While searching for a way to get their red paladin back, the team uncover a connection between a savage race of aliens and one of the universe’s oldest mysteries...and learn the past is never truly behind anyone.
This fic is AMAZING. It shows how Shiro and Keith met and why their bong is so different to everyone elses. Featured Abused Keith, just a warning.
Keith's path to recovery after his abusive past in the foster system. Featuring art, ballet, bonding, and a whole lot of Shiroganes falling into Keith's life
A different take on how Keith and Shiro met and features Ms Shirogane, which I haven't seen before.
After Red gets damaged in a battle with the Galra, Keith crash lands on -or rather in- an ice encrusted water planet. With Red sinking fast, Keith is able to make it to the surface, but the freezing water pulls him back under. He's saved from the water by a certain blue paladin, but the effects of being in that freezing alien water take its toll on Keith. Lance must help his friend while also trying to locate the Red lion, for Keith's sake and Voltron's.
Keith and Lance almost die, Keith gets hypothermia and wears Lances clothes. What more could you want! Also this has Klance so if that's not your thing I wouldn't recommend
The fics in this series are NOT connected to one another. They're just my dump of fic ideas with platonic relationships and are strictly gen (with a little pinch of bromance cuz I'm weak for that)!
My personal favourites in this series are To know One's Family, One week off from Savinf the Universe (features Keith and James becoming friends, which I don't usually like but you know it's a good fic), The Enigma of Number 4 (this one's funny as fuck, seriously youse should read it) and The Lost Red Paladin.
First-year Garrison cadet Keith Kogane stands out like a shark in a tidal pool. Ruthless. Explosive. Focused. Rude. The other cadets can’t beat him, so they try to take him down any way they can.
Despite the constant churning of rumors and accusations surrounding Keith, Senior Officer Takashi Shirogane offers to mentor him, showing the boy kindness and patience. Slowly, Keith is drawn out of his defensive shell. Slowly, he learns to trust Shiro.
But time is running out.
Tonight, the Garrison will be infiltrated by a group of anti-space militants and Shiro is at the top of their hit list. Unfortunately for them, Keith isn’t even on their radar. And there is no way in hell he is letting his friend die tonight.
Another amazing fic featuring BAMF Keith. I don't wanna spoil but all I can say is Keith is fucking clever and dangerous when Shiro is in trouble.
All Galra have nine lives, if there are enough pieces of them left to revive after death.
Keith doesn't understand what's happening to him.
This was the very first fanfic I ever read and it is still one of my favourites. It goes through how Keith died each time and him not realising he should be dead. The Klance isn't really a focus here, like it's towards the end and there isn't a big confession or anying. It's just mentioned in passing.
Getting their cover blown and having to sprint full-speed toward the exit of a Galra cruiser was not on the Paladin's list of things to do. But neither was Keith's inability to open his eyes after he was struck in the back of the head. Today was just full of surprises.

VLD rewatch s3e3
- this ep was intense
- Hunk is correct, attacking is a terrible idea
- (I'm about to talk about how great k+l's dynamic is) Voltron woulda fallen apart without Lance -- Keith, while very good at fighting and battle strategy, is terrible with people, and being good with people is kind of an important part of being a leader. Lance is usually good at people-ing -- he's not afraid to be front-and-center and will divert the attention when needed (ex: s1e1, when they are being scolded by Iverson and Lance makes Pidge stop talking while diverting Iverson's (negative) attention to himself; s3e1, when he diverts the (positive) attention to the BOM by forcing the people of Puig (is this name right?) to acknowledge that the BOM played a gigantic part in their liberation), not to mention he's usually good at reading the room in terms of people-needs -- and, while he's also very good at fighting, he has a very hard time staying focused on the objectives, which is usually what makes people not take him seriously. Keith and Lance are the perfect mixture of that when they can work together -- they balance each other's weaknesses perfectly
- k+l shots
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
- i love that lance was, like, 100% pro supporting keith as a leader, and then keef decided that he was gonna be impulsive and he's like "ig we're back to antagonizing mullet-head", and ykw? I don't blame him, because keef is being a piece of shit
- u accepted to be the leader, keith, stop being a piece of crap -- there's a big fucking difference between leadership divergence and straight-up neglecting your team
- dam, i kinda love that both keith and allura are in denial here (and lance isn't)
- yes, it all comes back to lance, i love the boy, ok
- the best part about this is that we all knew they were doomed from the moment keith left the castle
- lance recognizes that lotor is playing them against each other in, like, 2 mins and I stan
- lance is just making commentary whenever keith does a fuck up
- dam, blue is taking a beating here, poor girl
- omg, and then keith listens to lance
- the image of the lions' eyes glowing through the fog legit reminded me of my cat lool
- ok ok ok, so I'm one of those people who got stuck on "omg why didn't they let us have an offish description for the qualities in the blue lion's paladin" but, in a way, they did give it to us when they had allura say "i've tried asking you nicely, and i've tried commanding you (...) I can't control everything" and that's when blue responds to her. Because, really, that's what describes lance, isn't it? He goes with the flow and that's when he's at his best.
- also, i'm super bitter that they never used the "allura having to put herself in lance's place" thing again, that could've been a huge point for allurance and to show that (as the showrunners think) lance wasn't a rebound, allura had something growing before.
- YAY MY GIRLS BONDED
- DON'T MAKE FUN OF LANCE!
- SHE WAS ACTUALLY COPLIMENTING HIM, WHY DO THEY GOTTA TAINT ALL THAT IS SACRED
- don't agree with this, keith, he's your future husband teammate
- here we go, the power of friendship
- that's the avenging fury of voltron, son
- yay lotor
- i almost hit 10 klance screenshots just for this ep lol

BillDip Klance meeting where Bill's taking Dipper on a date to a distant planet and they come across the Paladin couple on a date of their own.
Got a little long, more under the cut lol
“I still can’t believe you know how to fly this thing,” Dipper laughed, holding onto the belt across his chest.
Bill shrugged, his feet propped up on the steering wheel. “Well, when your dad is the commanding officer of a star fleet, you kind of pick this sort of stuff up. And uh, I kind of lied about him knowing of this. I took the keys to this little ship when he wasn’t looking in the break room.”
A loud sigh came from Dipper. “Really? The most romantic date you thought to take me on was in a stolen space ship?” It’s not as though he was shocked, Dipper always knew from the start of their relationship that Bill had a tendency to be a bit of a rule-breaker. But having their date end with a stern talking-to wasn’t going to be fun.
“Oh relax, we can have it back before he even notices that it’s gone. I used to do this all the time when I was like, sixteen and he never caught me back then.”
Dipper believed that about as much as he believed the Earth to be flat, which was, of course, not at all. Living in a society filled to the brim with technology had its perks, but with someone like Bill so close to the dangerous stuff, it was nothing short of a miracle that Earth hadn’t imploded already.
“What planet are we even going to? Please tell me you actually looked up a nice one, I can’t take a repeat of last time. There were so many sand traps and that weird slime made me sick.” Dipper shivered at the memory of the time he and Bill had gone on public transit to some shady stop on an asteroid that had a self-driving cab to a planet that Bill thought would be cool. It turned out to be a planet that no one could really live on because, while interesting to explore, it had very few places to stand without sinking or getting stuck to something.
“I looked this one up, I swear! It’s supposed to have some really interesting carnival going on all the time. People call it the Forever Circus and I thought it sounded pretty cool.” Bill sat up in the pilot’s chair, the leather creaking from his movement. “There it is! See, didn’t take that long to get to and it looks super lively.”
Looking out the window, Dipper could see that there were quite a few people there, the docks in the outer atmosphere were nearly full, and he could see the lights of the docks on the surface lit up as well.
“Alright, this does look promising, I’ll give you that. Just... Promise me the next date will be legal and somewhere safe?” Dipper had his hand on the buckle of his seatbelt, ready to wander off on the planet with Bill the second they found a place to park the ship.
“Promise.” Bill smiled at Dipper then focused on taking the wheel, piloting them to the nearest open place for it.
From the dock, they took a shuttle to the surface. Thankfully, the planet was big enough that the massive amounts of people there didn’t make things too crowded. Dipper could tell that there was an endless amount of things to do there because of the size, and he knew that if they weren’t careful they would stay there for way too long.
“Alright, I made a plan of the stuff we can do, but if you see something that looks like fun, let me know.” Bill paid for the tickets at one of the many booths that they faced off the shuttle, grabbing Dipper’s hand to slap the entry bracelet onto his wrist.”I think we should start with the blasters to see if I can still aim better than you.”
“You have never once been a better aim than me, Bill,” Dipper laughed.
“Oh Pinetree, you’ve wounded me so. Now we have to go and prove who’s right!” Still holding his wrist, Bill dragged Dipper over to one of the many shooting booths. “I’ll go first. Watch and be amazed!”
Bill sat down on one of the stools, next to another human. Seeing humans out on other planets wasn’t too unheard of, but most of the people around them were most definitely not from Earth. The blond paid no mind to the other guy because the round of shooting started soon after he sat down, the two of them going at it as if their lives depended on getting every shot exactly on the bullseye.
Dipper stood behind Bill, cheering him on while the silly music played and the fake bullets rained down on the targets. There was another human next to him, also cheering on the guy he was with. Normally, Dipper would never be very social, but it was always interesting to talk to other humans while away from Earth, just to see why they were there.
“Have you two been here long?” he asked, looking at the man in a red jacket. His hair was jet black and styled short in the front but long in the back, a look Dipper knew he could never pull off but looked cool on the guy.
“Hm? Oh, uh, no, not really. I mean, it’s been about an hour. My... Uh, I guess we’re boyfriends now, but he dragged me here.” The guy looked over at Dipper, ignoring the way his boyfriend and Bill had started to loudly shout at each other about who was the better sharpshooter. “It’s not often we see other humans this far from Earth. I take it you’re with that guy?”
From the corner of his eye, Dipper could see Bill and the other man finishing their round of shooting, only to turn to each other and both demand a rematch after the game told them it was a tie. “Yeah, unfortunately.”
The two of them laugh, the black-haired guy holding out his hand. “I’m Keith. My boyfriend is Lance, who seems to be having... Fun? Over there. I can’t tell if they want to kill each other or if they have some weird bro-understanding.”
“Dipper,” he said, shaking Keith’s hand. “And, knowing Bill, it’s both.”
Bill loudly proclaims a victory over Lance, standing up on the stool and sticking his tongue out. “I win! I knew I could aim better! Dipper, did you see that? I kicked his ass!”
“You barely beat me by one point! And I missed one time because you elbowed me!” Lance got up on his stool, the two of them eye-to-eye. “I just started dating this guy, you’re not about to embarrass me in front of him. We’re going again, this time no cheating!”
Keith shook his head, looking back at the booth behind them. “Want to play a game of toss the ring on the tentacle monster while they do that?”
“Yes, please,” Dipper chuckled, already turning away from the pair of shouting men. They could continue their dates once the two had settled down, but until then Dipper was going to enjoy the carnival and make a new friend, which was what Bill seemed to be doing as well.

Smutember Day1: Dirty Talk
My first contribution to Smutember! Day 1 , dirty talk. I went with sexting. Voltron fandom, Klance.
Warnings: bottom keith, top lance, talk of light bdsm/spanking/rimming.
Lance felt his phone vibrate in his jacket pocket. He'd forgotten to turn it on silent mode before class started. But he was in a boring lecture where he could easily get all the same information from the textbook, so he wasn't as irritated as he should be. He could use a distraction from the teacher’s drone. Looking at his lock screen, he saw that Keith had sent him an image.
Lance and Keith hung around the same circle of friends, and while they weren't enemies, they didn't see eye to eye most times. Lance didn't know exactly what it was about Keith that bugged him, if he were being completely honest with himself. Maybe what bugged him about Keith was what attracted him to the dark haired, moody boy. But he tried not to be that honest with himself about Keith. It was just easier to ignore the sexual tension between them if he just didn't acknowledge it.
Sighing, Lance hid his phone behind his laptop and opened the chat. And then nearly choked on his breath. He coughed lightly twice to hide his surprise and not raise the suspicion of the teacher.
Because Keith had sent him a nearly nude photo.
'Holy shit, I could've been taping that?!' Lance thought wildly, forgetting he was not supposed to be acknowledging Keith's good looks.
In the photo, Keith was standing in front of his mirror, the rest of his single dorm room laid behind him. But the focus, really, was on Keith. Or rather his half naked body. The camera was angled so that it showed only the bottom half of his face, the bottom lip being bitten with a half smirk.
Lance's eyes roamed down the pale flesh, and he could feel the drool pooling in his mouth already over the dark trail of hair leading down from Keith's belly. The hair disappeared under a pair of very small, very tight, bright red boxer briefs. The thumb of Keith's free hand was dug into the waistband, pulling one side down to show off more tantalizing skin.
*Keith: 'How do they look on me?'
Lance nearly choked on air again. No! This wasn't happening! He was not oogling his sort-of friend. He was not imagining tracing the defined abs with his tongue. He was not committing to memory the shape of Keith's dick straining against the shorts.
And he certainly was not getting hard in the middle of his class.
Desperately trying to ignore the lust thrumming through his veins, he texted back with shaky hands.
*Lance: 'Um, dude… wrong number?'
The reply was immediate, and almost caused Lance to drop his phone 
*Keith: 'Are you sure I got the wrong number Lance?'
Lance did gently put down his phone. He was now at a crossroads of how to handle this. On the one hand, he could take a chance that Keith wasn't joking (and the chances were high. Keith wasn't very good at jokes), and was seriously coming on to him. They could do something about all this tension building up between them.
On the other hand, Lance could just ignore it, play it off as a joke. And things between them would stay the same. Complicated and filled with messy emotions.
Lance picked his phone back up and stared at the picture of Keith. Maybe, it was time to start being honest with himself. Lance took a deep breath in and replied.
*Lance: 'My mistake. It's the right number.'
Lance bit his lip in anticipation as he watched the little dots at the bottom of the screen bounce as Keith typed back.
*Keith: 'Thought so. So then, about my question…'
*Lance: 'I'm in the middle of class! Can this wait till later?'
*Keith: 'You're in a boring as shit class. I know, I had the same teacher last year.'
Lance chewed his lip and peeked over the top of his laptop. The professor was too focused on his presentation, and none of his classmates around him that were still awake seemed to care. His phone vibrating in his hand brought his attention back.
*Keith: 'Well?'
Cheeky brat. Two could play at this game.
*Lance: 'Well what? Did you want me to say how nice they look on you?'
Lance waited till he saw the dots move, then quickly sent an addition.
*Lance: 'Or did you want me to say how nice they'd look on the floor?'
He grinned triumphantly as the dots stopped moving for a moment.
*Keith: 'Oh yeah, would they? And how would they get on the floor?'
Lance breathed out slowly as a blush rose to his cheeks. He could do this! It was just some sexting with a semi-friend  that he was finally admitting that he was stupidly attracted to. And he wasn't bad at dirty talking. It was just...different with Keith.
*Lance: 'If I tell you, what do I get in return?'
*Keith: 'You get to come to my dorm to finish me in person.'
Another picture was sent, and it made Lance's dick throb in anticipation. Keith was now laying in bed, the camera angled down the line of his body to show off the sizable tent between his spread legs. His free hand was resting on his belly, as if waiting for instructions.
Lance shifted in his seat. Oh yeah, he was definitely hard now, and definitely would be doing that awkward trying-to-hide-a-hardon shuffle out of class. But he was committed to this now.
*Lance: 'I'm a hands on kind of guy. So I'd start by slowly running my hands over your chest. You're all hard muscle, but I bet your skin is so soft and smooth.'
*Keith: 'Why go slow? What if I want you to be fast and get to the good stuff quickly?'
Lance snorted quietly. Keith was definitely going to be a brat.
*Lance: 'I know you have little patience, sweetheart. But this is the good stuff! I want to take my time with you, slowly unravel you and relax you. Am I gonna need to tie your hands to the headboard?'
*Keith: 'Maybe. You could probably convince me if you asked nicely.'
He raised an eyebrow over that response. That was unexpected. Something inside Lance pinged, though. He had a feeling he knew what Keith was up to.
*Lance: 'And how would I ask you nicely? Begging on my knees, looking up at you with my big blue eyes? Or flipping you over onto your belly and grinding my hard cock onto your ass through our clothes until you submit? I'm flexible, you know. Either way is good.'
A minute later another picture was sent. This one showed Keith now laying on his stomach, his ass in the air and one dark blue lust blown eye staring at the camera where it was pointed over his shoulder.
*Keith: 'The second option. Though it's pretty funny that you think you could overpower me.'
And bingo. 'I got your number now Keith.' Lance thought, grinning wickedly as his fingers flew over the screen.
*Lance: 'What's funny is that you want me to think that you don't want my thick, hard cock up your ass, owning you completely while you lay there at my mercy. You know you want me to fuck you hard and fast, take everything I've got to give. But you also know that what really gets you going is being treated like the pillow princess you're pretending you're not. You're such a little brat.'
There was no response for minutes. No picture, no dots moving. Had he gone too far? Was he wrong about Keith? Those thoughts swirled in his head until a response popped up.
*Keith: 'If I'm such a brat, maybe you'll have to gag me then too, sometime.'
Well shit.
*Keith: 'So I'm on my stomach, hands tied up. How are my shorts ending up on the floor now?'
It was official. Keith was going to be the death of Lance. He was going to die in this classroom from a lack of blood flow to his head. The one with the actual brain, not the one he was currently thinking with 
*Lance: 'I'm gonna start by laying my body over yours, and slowly grind my cock against that pretty, perky little ass of yours. Gently kiss and nip at your shoulders, maybe leave a few marks, before slowly making my way down your spine.'
*Lance: 'I bet you'd be squirming the entire time. Trying to hold back all the sounds you want to make. But they'd escape as little whines, and just urge me on.'
*Keith: 'I'd try tugging on my bindings, cause I'd wanna flip you over by then and climb on top of you.'
*Lance: 'Then I'd have to spank you enough to get you to hold still. But not hard, cause I know you want it like that.'
*Keith: 'Fuck, it wouldn't take long for me to stop. I'd want your hands back on me.'
*Lance: 'And I'd reward you for being a good boy. I'd tug your underwear down your thighs slowly, and kiss all over your ass. You know how you're always telling me to shut up?'
*Keith: 'Yeah…'
*Lance: 'Well I'd put my tongue to better use. Spread your cheeks and open you up with my tongue. Lick you all over till we're both sloppy and you're begging for me.'
Lance shifted in his chair again as his cock throbbed painfully. He looked at the time and saw that the class would be ending soon, thank fuck. He really needed to get some relief.
Lance watched as the dots started and then stopped moving a few times, yet no new message popped up. Lance grinned, biting his lip as he speculated what Keith was doing.
*Lance: 'Class is almost over. Are you preping yourself for me? Are you getting yourself nice and slick so I can slide right in as soon as I get there?'
*Keith: 'Yeah…'
Lance's grin grew wicked again.
*Lance: 'How many fingers do you have fucking yourself open?'
*Keith: 'Two. All the way.'
*Lance: 'Oh, sweetie, you're gonna need more than that in order to take me.'
*Keith: 'Bullshit.'
The sounds of shuffling and chairs scraping against the floor alerted Lance to the end of class. He quickly fired off a text before packing up his laptop.
*Lance: 'Think what you want for now, but you'll see soon enough. Class just ended, so you have about ten minutes to get yourself open. I need to be inside you as soon as I get there, so your ass better be up in the air and ready.'
With that, Lance gathered his things up, moving his laptop bag in front of his crotch. He looked down at the newest text, and tried to speed up his awkward boner waddle.
*Keith: 'Door's unlocked.' 
And a picture of Keith's naked and raised ass, with four fingers buried between his cheeks.
