#Platonic Shance

[mothmanavenue]

while the black paladins is a brilliant episode of voltron and one of the better ones, frankly i felt cheated that the confrontation came with no resolution between shiro and lance, when it was lance who through the seasons was on the bad end of Kuron’s abuse and rapidly deteriorating temper.

it would’ve been, in my opinion, a more fulfilling conclusion for lance to have been the one to have the final showdown with kuron and bring shiro back home AND it would’ve been the payoff of lance slowly developing as a character in season 4 where it seemed like he was being groomed for the role of black paladin (another voltron storyline with an unsatisfactory ending how did they keep fucking up good premises-)

so here i offer you The Black Paladins, the alternate ending (wherein lotor isn’t the bad guy because seriously what kind of lessons is the abused becomes the abuser) where keith gets back too late to help shiro but in time to step up and protect his friends and team after missing them for years, while lance’s story comes full circle with him, again, rescuing shiro, not as a hero, but as a friend :)

New Fanfiction: Give and Take

Warning: rated M, rape/non-con, violence

Summary: They would never allow Lance, an outsider, to be with their princess, the men had sneered. He wasn’t worthy enough. And tonight they would make sure he absolutely never would be.

But things don’t quite go according to their plans. The only solution now to save themselves is to hide the evidence of their actions and kill Lance.

But that plan doesn’t quite go accordingly either. And Shiro is going to make sure it never does.

shance, kurance, lancelot, plance for the ship meme please

HOOO BOY. lets go.

Shance:

No matter what I would die for Shance. Healthy, unhealthy, canon, au, they’re all so fuckin good. Shance is one of the most versatile ships, and I love it. Not much to say, except more people should discover how beautiful Shance is.

Kurance:

Look. I like it. But I’m very specific circumstances. Though I think their platonic relationship is a bit more interesting than a romantic one, their complicated relationship intrigued me. Especially because of how Kuron treated Lance, and how Lance perceives Kuron (Shiro).

Lancelot:

I say this with a lot of love, but I love lancelot in the most toxic way possible. They're really fun when they're soft and loving, but them as worsties? *chefs kiss* delicious. The drama. The toxicity. The angst. I want them to be the worst couple ever. That, or the cutest. I love their relationship being Horrifying™️ as y’all who have read wirip could probably tell.

Plance:

This is the one ship that I just have fluffy feelings over. Friends to lovers all the way. Just two dorks in love, tbh. I usually read more plance over platonic relationships but that’s because I really dislike how fanon portrays their relationship (and IMO plance writers just do it better). But this one, I’m 50/50 over a ship/friendship. No matter what, love their dynamic.

Send me any ship and I’ll put em in a ship bingo!

Lance: Shiro? I think I'm confused.

Chapter Title: But I Got You

Pairing: Shance

Rating/Warning: T, disappearances, reunions.

Chapter Summary:

“This is Captain Takashi Shirogane of the IGF Atlas.” Shiro called into the radio to return the signal’s call.  “We have heard your signal and responded.  Please respond with your name, ship, coordinates, and your issue.”

The signal stopped broadcasting.

Then a pause.

“IGF Atlas, this is...Captain Takashi Shirogane of the IGF Atlas”  Came the return answer over the radio.  The voice on the other end is exactly similar to his own.  “We are sending our coordinates through now.  But...ugh...this is weird, but I think we have one of your crew members.”

AN: I wrote some more Reality!Kidnapped!Lance AU.  Cause I like it, and I have fun thinking about it.  This is sort of the end part of the idea...but it doesn’t really have a middle.  So I hope you enjoy.

Ice In His Veins

Part 1:

Lance knew that the mission was important and that they really did need the plant Allura sent them to collect but... Lance really fucking hated the cold!

Him and Shiro had been dropped off on a tiny ice covered planet to find a glowing pink plant that was supposed to be even better at healing then the pods.

Their suits were designed to protect them from the cold and as long as they got back to the lions before night fell they would be fine.

But that didn’t stop Lance from feeling miserable as he shuffled along behind Shiro, arms wrapped around himself in a vain attempt of gaining some warmth.

“I still don’t get why we couldn’t just fly right to the flower” Lance groaned as he nearly tripped in the thick snow for what seemed like the thousandth time today.

“We’ve already been over this Lance” Shiro sighed not even offering the blue paladin a glance over his shoulder as he continued onwards. “Almost the entire planet is a frozen ocean. It’s safe enough for us to walk on but if we land the lions in the wrong place then they could end up falling through with us inside.”

Of course Lance knew that, he wasn’t stupid he just wanted to complain while he felt so miserable. He was from Cuba for Christ’s sake! He was meant for hot beaches and warm suns, not ice and snow as far as the eye could see.

“I just hate the cold” Lance grumbled earning a shrug from his leader.

“Well the sooner we find the plant the sooner we can get home.”

Lance stopped in his tracks.

Home...

He knew Shiro meant the castle but some part of him couldn’t help but think of returning to his home and family. To actually get away from this war and the terror of dying every day.

To go back to being a kid and not a soldier...

God he wanted that so much.

Lance was so caught up in his own misery that he didn’t notice just how far ahead Shiro had gotten.

Or the fact that what he thought was a snow mound next to him had now stood up.

Lance realised both these things very quickly when large clawed paw swiped at him and sent him flying right into Shiro knocking him to the ground.

For a brief moment everything was silent and the two just lay there.

Then the monster roared and Lance began to scream.

————

Shiro hated to admit it but Lance had been bugging him all day.

He just never seemed to stop complaining no matter how long they were out here. Surly he would have adjusted to the cold by now?

He felt a little bad when he began to increase the distance between the two of them so he could gain a little break from well Lance.

It wasn’t like there was any threats to be aware of, Pidge said herself that the planet was way too cold to support life for long and that nothing lived on the planets surface beyond vegetation.

He had taken those words as the gospel truth right up until he face planted into the snow.

It barely took him a second to twist his body to be sitting upright and alert.

His eyes widened at the sight in front of him.

It looked like a pile of snow had come alive, a huge mound of it moving with slick white legs and wickedly long black claws. If Shiro wasn’t looking directly at it then there was no way he would have spotted it.

The creature was looking down at one of its claws as a long grey tongue came out and licked at them.

Just as it looked at them and began to raw Shiro realised it had been licking up blood.

Something he only figured out when Lance began to scream in agony.

Shiro was torn between which needed his attention more in that moment.

The need to attack vs the need to protect fought within him before Lance finally won.

He blue paladin was curled up on his side still draped over Shiro’s legs.

His eyes where scrunched up in pain and his teeth were gritted tightly together as sweat trickled down his face.

Shiro had no idea what was causing him so much pain but was nothing short of terrified by scream along.

His eyes flicked back up to the creature that for the moment seemed content with where it was so Shiro carefully pulled Lance closed and snakes his arms underneath him.

No sooner had his hands grazed the other paladins back did the screaming start again, this time though Lance thrashed violently to roll away.

Shiro had no choice but to let allowing Lance to curl up just off to his side trembling and huddled in a small ball.

Shiro stared at him. He reached out to offer comfort when the red dripping from his own fingers caught his eyes.

A trail of red that led right to the scratch mark cutting through Lance’s back and oh god Shiro felt sick when he was sure he could see frayed pieces of tissue and muscle sticking out of the wound.

It looked almost like Lance had been hooked onto the creatures claw before momentum tore him and his back free leaving more damage then Shiro could even begin to process.

Shiro swallowed his bile and reached a shaking hand towards Lance. “C-come on buddy, I’ve got you it’s going to me o-ok” he stuttered right as the creature began to howl and more mounds of snow stood up surrounding them.

shance, allurance, lancelot, plance, klance, hance for ship meme if it is ok?

DAMN ANON, you really be going out for all the big ones! (not that I'm complaining aha)

Anyways, since there's so many ships, I've put em all under the cut:

One thing that's really key w/ me is that I'm a multishipper at heart, so most things I would enjoy in certain situations! Like, with Plance/Hance, I'm mostly a platonic shipper of em but hey, when the right AU hits I'm all in!

Feel free to ask me anything else about these ships + or any other ships!

mk so i had a prompt idea a few days ago, and i was wondering if you could write about lances hair after he died, like it doesn’t even have to be angsty(it can tho, i love me some good angst) but just like him realizing that it’s turning white and freaking out, and trying to hide it from the team. and maybe after they find out one of the paladins teaches him to dye his hair or helps lance accept it, i dunno. i tried writing it earlier but i wanna see someone else run with it

I hope you enjoy! 💙

“What the crow,” he mumbled peering into the mirror in his bathroom. He pulled his hair back and to the side, hoping he wasn’t actually seeing what he thought he was.

“Oh hell no,” he shook his head, backing away from the mirror and pulling his helmet back on. He grumbled as he stomped back to his pilot seat and slumped back against it. He had seen that he was gradually growing in white hair but when he woke up that morning, his entire head was lacking pigment.

He wasn’t exactly surprised about it what with all the stress, combined with Allura’s altean magic. Not to mention the fact that Shiro’s also gone silver fox after a run in with Allura’s magic. At least he can pull it off though. He just looks like a kid playing an old person in a play or something.

He was glad that it was his turn to be alone in Red this time and he could have his mini freakout alone.

“Are you back yet Lance? We’re on to naming our first dates,” Hunk suddenly said. He let out a short squeak and took in a quick panicked breath.

“Whoa, are you okay?” He asked in concern, popping up on the dash. Lance pouted but nodded. “Is there something wrong?”

“No, I’m fine. Just bored,” he muttered, looking away from the monitor.

“Tell us about your first date with Jenny!” Hunk yelled, throwing his face towards the monitor.

“Ugh, no,” Lance groaned.

“Oh come on! Keith told us about his first date!” Hunk pleaded, gesturing towards Keith’s face on his dashboard.

“What? Really? Anything interesting?” He asked, suddenly intrigued. Keith rolled his eyes and looked away while everyone else burst into laughter.

“Oh man! You know that James Griffin guy? He asked Keith out and he didn’t know it was a date!” Hunk laughed, collapsing back against his chair.

“What? How?” Lance laughed, looking over at Keith.

“How was I supposed to know he wanted an actual date!? We’re rivals, we hate each other!” He defended himself.

“Hmm, sounds like someone else I know,” Pidge teased gaining a groan from both Keith and Lance.

“Yeah, but I actually hate Griffin. He’s a piece of shit,” Keith

“Point taken,”

“Team, we’re coming up on the market planet, prepare to land,” Allura said over the coms.

They were each given a small allowance to buy whatever they wanted; Lance’s eyes immediately went to the small store that surprising looked like an Earth drugstore. It seemed like everyone else had the same idea and they went inside and split up.

He looked around quickly before he went to the hair care section and came across boxes of hair dye. After a quick look around, he grabbed a dirty brown colour, similar to his own.

“Lance?”

He shrieked and spun around, hiding the hair dye behind his back, despite the shelves of it clearly visible behind him.

“Shiro! Hey! What are you doing here?” Lance asked with a nervous chuckle.

“Uh…I just saw you here and came over?” He said confused. “Are you getting hair dye?”

“Um, yup! Just want to change it up you know,” he said quickly, eyes darting around nervously.

“Right, can I see?”

“Oh, you really don’t want to see it right now. It’s really greasy and gross an-”

“I meant the dye, is there something wrong with your hair or something?” He asked, leaning forward as if he would be able to see through the helmet.

“Uh…no?”

“You don’t sound so sure,” Shiro said sternly before turning concerned. “Maybe I can help you with it,”

“It’s really not that important,” Lance muttered, rubbing his arm self-consciously. Shiro’s brows furrowed and he laid his hand on his shoulder.

“It must be important if it’s bothering you this much,” Shiro said, a kind smile on his face. Lance bit his lip, mind swirling with indecision. It shouldn’t be affecting him so much. At least he didn’t think it should but still every time he looked at it, it sent a swirl of anxiety through his stomach.

“Okay,” he said quietly before pulling his helmet up enough so he could see the tips of his white bangs. Shiro’s eyes widened in shock and Lance hurriedly shoved his helmet back over his head.

“Your hair’s white,” Shiro said dumbly, still in shock. Lance nodded and looked down at his feet. At the increasing silence, he looked up and saw Shiro considering the boxes of dye. He snatched a random one off of the shelf and turned back to Lance.

“Dye mine too?” He asked with an easy smile. Lance blinked as he dropped the box in Lance’s hands.

He looked down at the box and furrows his brows. “You realize this is blue dye right?”

“Hmm, sounds good,” he decided, his fingers on his chin.

“What? Really?” He gaped.

“Why not? My hair’s white, I don’t need to bleach it or anything! I’ve always wanted to dye it!” He explained with excitement.

“Right,” Lance chuckled, looking at the box of plain brown dye he picked out for himself.

“Are you just going brown again?” Shiro asked, looking through the colours again.

“I don’t know now since you’re doing blue,” he said honestly.

“Why don’t you do something crazy? Try to fit into the crazy few weeks we’ve been having,” Shiro suggested. “Besides, it’ll fit into to your style,”

“My style?”

“Yeah. You’re kind of unpredictable and willing to try anything but you make it work,” Shiro stated.

“I never knew you thought that about me,” Lance said.

Shiro shrugged. “Being on the astral plane really put things in perspective for me, it’s better to tell people what you think, than never have them know what you felt. Especially if it’s a good thing,” he turned, tossing a box at him. “I think that’s your colour,”

“Really?” He asked, examining the cotton candy pink displayed on the front.

“Definitely,” Shiro nodded.

“So who’s going with who?” Keith asked as they started packing up the next morning.

“Dibs on Lance!” “Dibs on Shiro!” They both cried at the same time, throwing their hands up.

“Um…okay,” Lance and Shiro turned to each other, victory written over their faces and ran back to Red.

While they waited for their hair to set, the rest of the paladins appeared on the screen. They were both in their paladin robes, hair wrapped up in towels, and faces covered in one of Lance’s face masks. They paused and looked over at the screen, their eyes wide as if they got caught doing something wrong.

“Uh…what are you doing?” Keith asked.

Their eyes darted to each other quickly. “Spa day?” Shiro answered hesitantly with a slow shrug.

“Right. Well now we’re going to run drills,” he continued, still watching them carefully.

“Aw c’mon Keith, right now?” Lance whined, shoulders slumping.

“Yes! We have to stay sharp,” he sighed, massaging the bridge of his nose.

“A little longer break isn’t going to hurt anyone Keith,” Shiro broke in. Keith looked at him with a blank stare.

“His laziness is rubbing off on you,” he deadpanned.

“Bold of you to assume I wasn’t already lazy, Keith,” Shiro huffed, crossing his arms over his chest and turning away.

“This is a whole new level though,” Keith argued.

“Maybe I’m tired from being in the astral plane so long,” Shiro shrugged, picking at his robe. He looked up at Keith from under his lashes and saw him slowly turning red.

“That’s low,” he muttered.

“Let me rest,”

“Fine, whatever,” Keith relented disappearing from the screen. The rest of the paladins cheered before disappearing as well. They sat in silence for a few seconds, looking around the cockpit.

“Do you want to dye your eyebrows too?”

“Fuck yes,”

After a few more hours of travelling, they stopped on another planet to camp. They set up camp, eyes on Red since neither Lance or Shiro had come out yet. Finally, the two of them walked out of Red’s jaw with an unusual amount of “swagger”, with their helmets on.

“What the hell are you doing?” Keith deadpanned.

“Being cooler than you,” Shiro shot back.

“Oh, Jesus,” Keith groaned with a facepalm.

“Wanna show them?” Shiro asked with a wide grin.

“Show us what?” Allura asked curiously. Lance bit his lip but pulled his helmet off. The team gasped in surprise.

“What did you do to your hair?” Hunk asked with sparkling eyes as he reached out to pat the fluffy pink hair.

“It was growing out white so I wanted to dye it. I was gonna do brown but Shiro convinced me not to,” he said, gesturing to the black paladin. “Do you like it?”

“Wow, that actually suits you really well,” Pidge commented.

“Thanks,” Lance said gratefully.

“What about me?” Shiro asked pulling his helmet off as well.

“Holy shit, your mom is gonna fucking kill you,” Keith snickered looking at the cobalt blue hair.

“Good,” Shiro said with a grin.

“Really?” Lance intertwines their fingers, squeezing excitedly with an actual smile dancing around his face. “You won’t?”

Shiro’s eyes flutter for a brief moment, rubbing his thumb along the side of his hand. Then his expression clears, brightening up with a twin smile of his own.

“I won’t,” Shiro breathes out. “We’ll keep this secret, just between the two of us, forever, okay?”

Lance hurriedly nods, letting Shiro release his hands to wrap him up in a warm hug.

“Oh,” Shiro whispers, in a way that makes Lance think that he’s not supposed to hear it. “You’re so soft.”

(As Lance's family falls apart under his parent's continual fighting, he finds solace in the strange friendship he builds with the school nurse and his son, but as things continue to worsen at home, the more Lance becomes entangled in Shiro's webs of secrets. But he doesn't mind - not when he knows that he'll be loved all the same.)
