#shiro doesn't talk so he's not getting tagged

[thaliagrayce]

i've been talking abt my voltron playlists and @iveofficiallygonemad asked to hear them and i want to share with anybody who wants!! i know they're not perfect, i'm working on them & trying to make them better. if you have any recommendations for any of them, let me know!! there's like A Lot and i want to give a lil explanation for most of them, so i'm putting them under the cut ^-^

SO first i have my favorite one <3 it's just. all of them. it's the whole team. it's a mess and it's a bunch of different genres because it's them fighting over the aux cord on a road trip. it's them trying to make each other laugh or annoy each other or play something catchy enough it will infect everyone in the vicinity with brain worms.

Hunk: i'm pretty happy with my Hunk playlist! chill vibes. he strikes me as the kind of guy who listens to calm music to try to find his own calm, and that's what i got here :)

Pidge: this is messier and less cohesive than my usual playlist because frankly i think pidge would have a shit taste in music. all over the board. this is a mix of meme songs and 8-bit covers and vocaloid and stuff that i think pidge would genuinely connect with, and i think pidge listens to all their music on shuffle without any regards for genre or mood because they're a gremlin. nobody gives pidge sole control of the aux.

Coran hears 80's music for the first time and loses his mind. He thinks ABBA is humanity's single greatest achievement.

Lance: i have ideas about where I'm going with this but haven't really settled yet. Lance seems like the kind of boy that loves to dance (is that canon? i forgot) so most of these are Bops That Make You Move in some way or another. he likes to present an upbeat face to the world, so there's no angsting in this playlist! we are clinging to the things that make us happy with both hands until our knuckles turn white!

Keith: i'm gonna be honest. i made him a playlist but i honestly don't think he cares about music very much. it's very important to some people! he's just not one of them! i haven't cracked this playlist open in a while but i'm pretty sure it's full of songs that i think he would conceivably train/work out to.

Shiro: this playlist involves the dumbest headcanon i have for shiro that has just not left me alone since i first thought of it. most of the playlist reflects the fact that he had an emo phase in middle school (that one isn't a headcanon, you just have to look at him to know) but BUT there are a few songs on here that are on here because. little known fact. he also went through a Twilight phase that he told nobody about. (keith knows. keith was there.) he has the entire twilight soundtrack memorized. he moved past the story but the music stays forever. he used to daydream about slow dancing to Flightless Bird, American Mouth. the first time Coran mentions that they have to avoid a place because there's a supermassive black hole there, he has to bite his tongue in order to keep a straight face. do NOT ask me why i believe this so wholeheartedly.

Allura's playlist sucks right now. I think it's because in my heart of hearts i know that, were she on earth today, she would go fucking nuts for taylor swift. i have ambivalent feelings for taylor swift. i cannot do allura justice like this. if you see my vision and have recs as to what might actually fit her, PLEASE.

Klance: i haven't done it yet but i'm gonna go through this and sort it to be a sort of progression of their relationship, starting with the more combative Rivalry songs, then slipping into "oh shit oh shit" songs, then maybe ending on the more lighthearted purely romantic songs <3

(i have two songs in a shallura playlist which does not at all encapsulate how much i'm obsessed with them. the tiny cop inside my head is just constantly screaming at me that i'm going to get yelled at for liking shallura. i am going to kill the cop inside my head.)

#mj talks #oooooh i don't know if i actually want to put this in the show tag. that's a lot of people. that's a lot of people that might see this. #fuck it we ball #voltron #anyway. as i said if you like music and you have songs that you think fit please send em over #also who wants to talk about shallura? i want to talk about shallura. #i rewatched the first ~3 seasons (the best part of the show and some of season 3) with my roommate a while back and. #ngl if we're strictly talking about the show itself and not fanworks. i care about shallura SO much more than i care about klance. #oh i should probably tag #klance #in case anyone has that blacklisted and just doesn't wanna see it #BACK TO MY POINT. #rewatch seasons 1 and 2 and you will see there was a REASON everyone included shallura in the background of their fics #and it wasn't just shoving 'space mom' and 'space dad' together #there is a very real and very compelling dynamic there. the mutual respect. the connection that comes with taking responsibility. #watch shiro's whole deal after allura gets herself captured so that he can go free and try telling me it's all in my head. just TRY. #anyway i have a lot of complicated thoughts about shiro's sexuality and most of them boil down to I Don't Think It Was Planned #i think they shoved it in last minute because somebody higher up #(not the writers i don't blame u writers i know that you have people breathing down your necks telling you what you can and can't do) #some higherup didn't like any queer storylines that might have been in the works and pulled them from the show #but then there was fan backlash because... gay people are loud now? people wanted A Queer In Space? wild thought #so they had to save their ass and actually deliver on what they had promised in interviews/on the internet/idk i didn't keep up too much #because it was so clumsily revealed! there was no buildup! #it felt very shoehorned to me unfortunately. when a) they had already built a solid and compelling potential relationship for shiro #(see above) #and b) klance was? right there? like. dude. you /had/ to have seen that. or at least some of it???? #backstory dead fiance was not the best move vis a vis queer representation and i reject him #if you want me to care about a relationship try going back to storytelling basics and Show Don't Tell :) #not giving you brownie points for that 'queer representation' :) #anyway. that's my shallura manifesto in the notes.

fic rec friday 40

hello and welcome to fic rec friday! where, on friday, i rec five of my favourite fics.

The Heart of the Scorpion by crystalklances

Lance has a big old crush on the school's Soccer Captain, Keith. He tries to deny having a crush even while their every interaction sends his heart aflutter. Romantic horoscopes and secret love letters? Totally not related to Keith. Luckily, heart and stars align to prove him wrong.

i will fucking miss crystalklances every single day of my life he was a PILLAR. i wish he had kept his account and just abaondoned it but im grateful at least that he only orphaned his fics and didnt delete it. he had so much to write about the college scene and soft klance and them being tender and soft and open about it!! he also often gave keith parents and he almost ALWAYS wrote trans lance like he invented the tag!! crystalklances i miss you and this was one of my favourite fics of yours

2. It's Not Spying If You Don't Call It Spying by @jilliancares

Turns out everyone is spying on Lance and Keith's blossoming relationship.

this is truly so goofy and silly and the team is SO so nosy and they need to be involved in 110% of klance's shit. as they deserve tbh. theyre all so annoying and i support all of their crimes

3. i wanna love you (but i don't know if i can) by @rickybowens

So, of course, that was when Hunk had said, "You know, it's really good that we're all friends here. I feel like it always gets awkward when two people in a group start dating, you know?" "Well, I don't think we have to worry about that with this group," Pidge had piped up, "I love you all, but there's no way in hell I'd date any of you." Everyone else had murmured their agreement, except for Lance and Keith, who had shared a look before trying to discreetly scoot away from the other. (Or, Lance and Keith decide to date in secret so their relationship doesn't make their teammates uncomfortable. It goes about as well as is to be expected.)

secret relationship you will ALWAYS be famous. its literally my favourite trope idc!! and this arc made SO much sense in terms of a reason for them to be dating in secret!! i loved how the team was the problem but that was very much not their intention but it made sense why klance was afraid and just...this whole fic was cinema truly i love it so so much

4. Of Pidge, Perception, and Prosecution by @erinnovelist

Of all the paladins, Lance knew Pidge was the one he had to watch out for. The only time her guard was down was after she woke up. She didn’t talk, glasses discarded after long hours staring at a screen, and she couldn’t function properly without her daily cup of coffee-equivalent alien juice. Which was why, when he wandered into the kitchen that morning, Lance hadn’t expected Pidge to zero in on him and ask, “When did you and Keith start fucking?”

teehee this one made me giggle its so ridiculous. and yes i did scroll thru the secret relationship tag again idc its so good!! i love the idea of klance thinking theyre so so sneaky and the whole time pidge is like yeah bitch ive been knew yall aint subtle in the slightest

5. Shifting Rock by @ohcontrary

Shiro is back with the team and things are... difficult, but getting easier. But even as he feels more and more like himself, he notices how his relationships have change. It's possible his relationship with Lance is changed irreparably. Luckily, the mission they go on gives them a chance to talk. But on a trip so perilous, they'll need to pay attention-- It isn't just their relationship that's on shaky ground.

lance and shiro NEEDED to talk fr. if ur gonna pretend the later seasons happened then they needed to CHAT. and what better place to chat then mortal peril and the threat of being crushed to death!! holy metaphors!!

that’s it for today!! i’ll see y’all back next friday for the next fic rec post!!!

#look! a rare frf w variety!!! #vld #voltron #lance #lance mcclain #keith #keith kogane #klance #secret relationship #established klance #shiro & lance #team as family #modern au #college au #fic rec #fic rec friday #longpost

Promise

promise | saratogaroad rating: G wordcount: 1913 characters: Shiro, Keith, Reader (GN-OC) relationships: Shiro/Reader other tags: Grief/Mourning, reunions warnings: None.

You sigh against his shoulder, but he pulls away to look at you. His eyes are warm, filled with love that makes your heart grow in size. He puts his hand on your cheek.

"Hey." He kisses your forehead, your nose. "I'll come back. I promise."

---- What if Shiro left behind an S/O when he left for the Kerberos Mission? A year is a very long time to wait. (Written pre-Season 2, and long before we knew Adam existed. Tried to keep it gender-neutral all the same.)

--

You've been dating Shiro--Takashi Shirogane but he really does prefer Shiro--for almost a year when he's assigned to the Kerberos mission. Pluto's fourth moon, you can't even see the thing from the telescope you've dragged up onto the Garrison's flat roof. The fact that it's too cloudy to make out even Mars doesn't help, but Shiro smiles at your attempts anyway.

"Hey," He says as you plop down beside him, frustrated, "It's only for a year." He reaches up to run his fingers through your hair, rubbing your shoulder as you lean against him. "I'll be back before you know it."

"A year's a long time, Takashi." You say in response, the rare use of his given name turning his smile wry. He pulls you in closer until you're almost smushed together, the pulse in his neck strong beneath your ear.

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder." You can hear him grin, sure and confident. You love that about him. Barely graduated with last year's class and already taking a science team to the outer reaches of the system. Sure, it's just a science mission and they'll be back within a year, but it's not just any prodigy that gets chosen for this. "Though you're pretty fond of me already."

"Oh," You laugh, "I'll show you fond!"

There's a certain heat to the kiss, a certain heat that pools in your belly every time he kisses you like this, and you run your fingers through his short cropped hair to pull him close, his hands on your back to do the same. You kiss until you're both breathless, flushed and leaning on one another. Below, the Garrison calls for lights out in ten minutes. You sigh against his shoulder, but he pulls away to look at you. His eyes are warm, filled with love that makes your heart grow in size. He puts his hand on your cheek.

"Hey." He kisses your forehead, your nose. "I'll come back. I promise."

----

He lied. He doesn't come back.

----

Life goes on like it always has after he's gone. The Garrison has a moment of silence, both for Shiro and the Holts, but nothing changes. Classes, assignments, internships and training...it's all the same. Only the color's been leeched out, you think to yourself, drained through the Shiro-shaped hole in your chest. He was gone for so long that his dorm was already long cold, his scent faded. His things are boxed in your dorm where he asked you to keep them, clothes and accolades and personal effects. There's no next of kin, family long gone and buried. There was just you, Shiro, and Keith.

Keith, who gets himself kicked from the Garrison within a month of Shiro's death. Shiro was his anchor, his best friend, his reason to be better, and now Shiro is gone. There is just you and Keith now, and you're not an anchor. Not the kind he needs, anyway. You spend what free time you have with Keith, trying to keep him from collapsing in on himself like the star you and Shiro knew he could be, even if in the desert the only thing that'll come down is the ramshackle hut he calls home. You don't talk much--the only connection you had was Shiro--but you think he appreciates you being there anyway.

"Do you think he's out there?" He asks you one late night, when everything is pitch dark except for the moon and stars. Trying to find Kerberos through the viewfinder of a telescope, you don't look up even as your heart skips a beat and your stomach knots itself up again. You know who he's talking about, know the Shiro-shaped hole in your chest with its still throbbing edges.

He has one, too.

You sigh, sitting back on your hands. Stars glimmer overhead, as they always have. As they always will. Shiro's hands ghost through your hair, grown out since the last time you saw him. Everything's the same, everything's changed. You swallow hard.

"...I don't know, Keith," You say, unable to voice the words you know to be true. That Shiro really is dead and gone, not just trapped somewhere like in those novels you used to laugh over together. "I don't know." ---

Months pass. A year since Shiro left comes and goes without fanfare, without mention. Classes are ongoing, graduation for your year next month. Cadets wash in, cadets wash out. Life continues as it always has.

Until, one night, it doesn't. Keith calls you in the dead of night, the hour so late it's early. He tells you to come to the shack, that he needs your eyes. He never calls, not without a good reason, and so you go. He picks you up at the edge of the Garrison property, hoverbike eating up the desert like it's so much paved road. The shack stands, his notes and diagrams and charts pinned to the wall. You've been out here doing this before, helping him look for whatever calls him to those cliffs and canyons, but there's more to work with now.

"I've almost got it," He says to you as you tack a photo to the wall, uncaring of your eyes wanting to close and stay closed for a few hours. "I just..." He rakes both hands through his hair, the bags under his eyes thicker than before. "I...Shiro would have figured it out by now."

He's right, you think to yourself. Shiro would know what to do. But he's not here anymore. He'll never be here again.

You still can't bring yourself to say it. It's been a year, but you can't bring yourself to say he's gone. There's a new name on the marker the Garrison has, for those lost to the stars and space in the name of Progress, three new names and a small memorial ceremony the day they were revealed, but you still can't say it even to yourself.

"...Yeah," You finally whisper, smoothing wrinkled papers just to do something with your hands. "He would have."

Keith's next words die in a wash of fire. You both rush to the window as it lights up like daylight, like sunrise. Only it's not. It's a fireball. He's a step ahead of you to rush outside, heat like summer cooking the desert sand as a fireball lights the sky. You watch it go, the shape irregular, metals gleaming in the light of re-entry. It's not a meteor. It's a sort of pod, black even against the flames that chase it down. Thoughts of a missile, of an attack on the Garrison, pass through your mind before they go up in flames as the thing, whatever it is, crashes into the desert with a plume of dust, not smoke and fire. Not a missile then, but what?

Keith is on his bike before you can turn to ask, calling that he's going to check this out, and he's gone before you can react or even hope to stop him.

Again, you are alone.

You hope the Shiro-shaped hole in your chest doesn't add a Keith-sized addition to it tonight, but he has your only ride out of the desert. There is nothing to do but wait, tidying the tiny shack and stacking boxes. There's some of Shiro's things here, clothes and books that make your heart jump to your throat even though you knew they'd be here. For the thousandth time, you wish he was here, back with you, back after the mission was completed with flying colors.

For the thousandth time, he is not here.

The roar of Keith's bike jolts you away from the sadness, throaty and heavier than before, as if carrying a weight it's not meant to carry. You throw the door open, step into the desert wind, and stare. There are five on a bike meant for two at the most, Keith and three faces that you know, sort of. They're in a younger year, faces passed in the hallways and names passed in gossip. They aren't your focus. Your focus is on the man between Keith and the lanky one as they jump down, on a familiar face you thought you'd never see again.

Shiro.

Your voice has left you, heart pounding as they stumble past. It's Shiro. His face is different, cheekbones hollowed out and skin pale in a way you've never seen him before, a shock of white in his overgrown hair that was once all black. But it's him. You'd know him anywhere.

"What happened?" You ask, following them inside, though it's more of a shriek because how is this possible? He was gone and there was a memorial and there was nothing but loss and now he's here again! You want to shake Kieth for answers, but you know that he has as few as you do.

"Sedation," Keith finally grits out as he and the other boy set Shiro down on Keith's cot, the blanket folded neatly in your need to do something. "He'll wake up soon."

And then he's rounding on the others, all bluster and growling and shoving. But your focus isn't on them. It's still on Shiro as you drop to your knees beside the cot, unsure if any of this is real or just an elaborate dream. He's breathing, chest rising and falling beneath the odd black bodysuit and torn purple shirt. He's thinner than before, muscles stark lines along his tall frame, a dark scar across his nose. Slowly, you reach out to touch him. He doesn't disappear, doesn't decay or anything like you'd expect a corspe to do, and you muffle a sob behind your other hand.

He's real. He's really here. You take his hand, squeeze it hard, and don't let go.

An hour passes. Two. Three. Sunrise comes as the silence grows awkward, Keith sitting on the edge of the cot like a hound on guard. The other three huddle in the corner together, unsure and insecure, but you don't lift your gaze from Shiro's slumbering body. You wait, wondering, hoping, praying. He's home he just has to wake up and then--

And then he does. A soft noise, a blink at the ceiling, before he stiffens. His hand in yours goes sweaty, clammy, and he jerks his head to stare at you, eyes wide and face carved into something like terror. Your heart skips a beat even as Keith moves, ready to pull you back if this goes bad, but Shiro stops. Stares at you, pulse racing beneath your fingers. His breath hitches as you hold yours, daring to hope nothing's wrong and he remembers you, daring to hope that he's still Shiro, the man you loved. 

The man you still love.

The tense silence stretches. You stare at each other, his eyes meeting yours. But then, slowly, he pulls his hand from yours.

"You're..." His voice is hoarse, raspy from disuse. He stares at you, drinking you in like you're the first person he's seen in a year. Maybe you are. "...You're real?"

You smile, just a little, as your breath catches in your throat and your eyes fill with tears. He reaches up to put a hand on your cheek, gasping as he feels warmth beneath his fingers. Shiro's not a crier, has never been a crier, but in that moment you think he might start. You take his hand in yours again, feeling his pulse racing still.

"I'm real. You're home."

Ten first lines, tagged by @winderlylandchime !

Rules: list the first line of the last ten (10) stories you published. Look to see any patterns you notice yourself, and see if anyone else notices any.

the queer as folk are brian/justin and mdzs are all jiang cheng/wei wuxian. a mix of fandoms.

1. anger doesn't mend a broken heart (neither does forgiveness if you ask for it) [mdzs] - Really, no matter what Jin Ling thought, this wasn't Wei Wuxian's fault.

2. swimming with sharks [qaf] - The thing that Justin didn't fully understand until he was interning at Vangard was: when you stop moving, you die.

3. wait [qaf] - A week after Justin leaves, Ethan emails him twice, calls him, finally texts how he's aware Justin hates his guts but he really needs to talk to him, it's important and it's not about their relationship.

[a few random prompt scenes got posted here]

4. delayed reaction [mdzs] - Jiang Cheng is sitting next to him at the banquet table; his mother was angry about the seating (he should be up at the head table, shown off at his father's side) and his sister was upset about it (she'd had to sit next to the chairman instead).

5. the water's edge [mdzs] - "Why couldn't you have suggested this while we were still in Yunmeng, Wei Wuxian!" Jiang Cheng hissed.

6. Statistical Modelling of Quintessence Fluctuations as Affected by Coalition Task-Force Non-Standard Units of Time: Case Study by M. Holt [voltron legendary defender, keith/shiro] - So, once upon a time, there was a brilliant and handsome rebel Commander, who just happened to also be courageous and strong and--

Right, okay, well mostly true.

7. you aren't the safe bet [mdzs] - It starts during a cultivation conference at the Unclean Realms where Wei Wuxian is bored out of his mind.

8. need to know [star wars rebels] - Hera hears about the lullabies from General Airen once they get to Yavin IV.

9. chance meeting [vld and dragon age inquisition mashup] - "And what are you selling?" came the booming voice.

10. into the dark [supernatural] - The first night alone -- really alone, still smelling like his brother's funeral pyre -- Sam prays to Jack.

Weirdly, I think in a lot of cases the first line captures the vibe or quintessential essence of the whole thing. Happy accident?

Asking about your VLD rewrite

Blessed be the anon that reads my tags. 🙏

SO,,

First and foremost, black Paladin Lance endgame. Klance endgame. Shiro and Curtis endgame, but Adam is alive and we give Curtis an actual personality and character arc. Allura's not dead, Lotor is good, probably something about whatsherface (the witch).

Alright alright alright, SO,,, Lance is the youngest of his family. His family that suspiciously looks like the other paladins. So in this rewrite, Lance is used to being the mastermind and the scape goat. Siblings want cookies? Lance makes a plan. Mama catches them? Lance takes the dive. You know. Real leadership qualities from a young age.

Cut to the first episode. Lance takes the dive for him, Pidge, and Hunk flunking the flight simulator. Iverson still compares him to Keith. We then cut to Lance at the shooting range, absolutely killing it (so his sharpshooting doesn't come so out of left field). Boom, Veronica's there to give him a pep talk. NOW we can go back to later that night, Lance trying to cheer up Hunk by sneaking out, coming across Pidge yada yada yada.

We're rescuing Shiro now. Keith doesn't remember Lance which INFURIATES him, and we'll learn several seasons later in a flashback that Lance started the whole rivalry to keep Keith out of trouble. He was getting into too many fights with James and was going to get expelled, but Lance, who looked up to Shiro, knew how important Keith's success was to him, so he steps in to play a role. To divert Keith's attention and keep him from fighting James.

And Keith doesn't remember him. AFTER ALL HE DID FOR—

Anyway.

Blah blah blah, Pidge wants to leave, Pidge decides to stay, "PIDGE IS A GIRL?!" Spoiler: Pidge is a transgirl. Later that night, Lance goes to Pidge's room to apologize, that he shouldn't have reacted that way. And is it really okay to keep calling her Pidge? What?, she says. Well, says Lance, communal showers at the Garrison... He just doesn't want to use the wrong name. Pidge tears up. No no, that's just a nickname Matt gave her, but... It wouldn't hurt to call her Katie every now and then. Tearful hug. Big Brother Figure Established.

Alright, I'll be honest, I do not fucking remember a lot of vld. So, uhhh...... skip skip skip, fuck it, we'll keep Shiro clone because it aids one of my plot points. Oh right, Lance has a recurring dream of walking down a hallway with doors on either side and an open door at the end. When he was younger, he'd meet a man in that room, standing in front of a floor-to-ceiling window looking out into space. Now he reaches to open that now-closed door and is awoken by another paladin. He's sleepwalked into the Lions' docking bay. This keeps happening.

They decide to try out for Black's paladin, Lance sits in there too long, a feeling right at his finger tips but just out of reach. Black still appears to choose Keith.

Blah blah blah Lotor And The Ladies™️, Shenanigans™️, Shiro's suddenly back, Keith absolutely fucks off, Pidge goes looking for Matt and doesn't find him. Wholeass thinks he's dead (finds the grave) and we're going to sit with that trauma for a while, fuck you. (he's not dead, but I want this plot point to actually MATTER and not be resolved in 3 seconds).

Keith finds Krolia, AND WE'RE DOING TIME/GRAVITY CORRECTLY GODDAMN IT. So Keith is MIA for months. Voltron hasn't heard from him, the Blades haven't heard from him, but he eventually gets back and he thinks only a few days have past. BECAUSE IN INTENSE GRAVITY TIME MOVES SLOWLY FOR THE PERSON BUT LONGER FOR THE OBSERVER, FUCK YOU!!!!!

So he's NOT "mature" or "grizzled" but he's fucking mad. Gets back and still shoves Lance aside (Top Ten Anime Betrayals) and just wants to get down to business. He's brought a rando Altean with him, I straight up forget her name so we're calling her Blondie. They found Blondie in the whats-it-called, same as before. But she's the only Altean there and she tells them what Lotor's been up to (that's weird. that's SUSPICIOUS). Lotor suddenly goes coocoo-bananas and they fight, have a clone fight, why not.

Mostly the same, yada yada... While it pains me to still destroy the castle and have them get time warped 3 years, that part was Good, Actually. Terrible, worst writers you know made a good plot point. :/

Anyways, Keith's been jumpy and jittery, like he's waiting for something, and then it comes out that he was missing for MONTHS. What? No. He was only gone a few days! He had visions of the future even! .......The mental link. Connected. A handful of times. He was not seeing Future Visions, he was witnessing Current Events. Shiro had a complete breakdown, Pidge lost (and eventually found) her brother, Lance fucking DIED and he wasn't there for any of it. Here you go, Keith, have a crisis. Reevaluate some shit and FUCK YOU you aren't magically two years older.

We also learn that what limited Mother-Son time he and Krolia had in the void place, he learned how and why she went to Earth, how she met his father, and the real reason she left (surprise! he has a twin and it's Acxa). And he still gets Kosmo. Because puppy.

That Thing with Big Butch Lady and Red Lady, except Red Lady For Real dies and that thing that happens in the final season actually makes sense now. Lance is feeling fucking useless and can feel his connection with the Red Lion dwindling. Stuff stuff stuff, things things things... Interpersonal Drama comes to a head in the gameshow episode. Lance doesn't bomb the Name-That-Alien game—he gets too mad to say Rolo fast enough, No he can't name every masked generic Blade, and he refuses to deadname Pidge/Katie. The question at the end becomes not who should leave, but who should STAY? If they can all pick someone to stay, the rest can go. The others all refuse to vote because the power of friendship no one left behind or whatever. Lance votes for himself. Because this is a war. You put your best soldiers forward. The others are shocked! Blindsided! Bob grills him--is this really what you want? Lance responds by saying not voting is like a vote for everyone to stay. Bob gives him a knowing and confirming Look. So yes, Lance chooses to stay.

Lance gets zapped away and the others get a Stern Talking To. They come back to their Lions to find Lance in a panic on the comms. Confused and Scared and Alone. Everyone chimes in all at once, Kosmo zaps Keith over to Red (and then every one else). Hugs, apologies, healing. Boom, the Lions turn back on and we're back on our way to Earth.

We're back to Earth, Lions tucked away on a moon. Adam's alive! Joyous day—oh shit he is PISSED at Shiro. Not the warm welcome he expected. At ALL. In this version, Adam is not a fellow pilot, he's a medical officer, and Dammit Jim! he's not just anyone's doctor, he's your doctor, Shiro! And his boyfriend! And Takashi "Give Me Glory or Give Me Death" Shirogane ignored Dr. Boyfriend's strong medical advice to NOT FUCKING GO ON THAT MISSION. So sure, he's happy to seem him back and alive and well, but since he's okay, Adam's going to be mad at him. Because he thought he'd died! For years! And how could he do that to him?! They will continue to fight for the remainder of the team's time on Earth.

We're also introduced to Curtis who, no shit, in canon, was the comms officer that reached out to Matt for Mr. Pidge's Dad (I don't remember anybody's name, sorry). And if the jury will recall, those open communications are how the Galra located Earth. This man is bearing the guilt of the entire invasion on his shoulders because he made those transmissions. And he and Shiro get a bunch of scenes together to develop their relationship.

Stuff happens, blah blah blah, hey remember that scene in canon? Where they call their Lions and they all appear lickity-split? Except, in canon, Red doesn't respond to Lance right away? And he nearly dies? And it's never fucking explained? Well it's getting fucking explained now. After all that jazz, while they're recovering, Lance confesses what happened with Red to Keith. Keith already knows. Because Keith called Red. And it just confirms to Lance that he's lost his place on the team. That with Shiro back to take over Black again, he's not needed. He decides to leave the team, but he hasn't told anyone yet.

Anyways, I know I haven't been talking about Allura. That's because I've forgotten all the things I wanted to do with her, but her and Hunk have been having their own solo adventure stories and developing their character arcs this whole time too, just don't ask me what that is. They're important. They're not just the love interest and comic relief. But I'm clearly here for Lance content, so...

Post-battle, ready to go back to space. Pidge makes that comment about the cartoon, how Keith and Allura get together. Lance has an irritated only sort-of reaction. Hey, it's their last day on Earth. The others think they're all leaving tomorrow (Lance still hasn't told them he's staying). He invites Allura to have lunch with his family, since she doesn't have anyone else to spend this time with. She declines, she and Blondie are doing research on that Altean-slash-battery person. That's fine, he understands. He runs into Keith. Keith? What're you doing here? Why aren't you spending time with—shit, not family but like....Shiro and Adam? Keith laughs awkwardly and talks about how those two are still fighting and no thanks, he does not want any part of that. Lance invites him to lunch with his family.

Remember all those soft looks Keith always gave Lance in canon? That amounted to nothing? Well here's some more, and they actually mean something now. And My God, does Keith eat up being in a large chaotic family setting. It's like all he's ever wanted was to be surrounded by people that love him.

Anyways, nothing explicitly romantic happens, but on their way back (there's a big going away party at the garrison), Lance finally confides in Keith that he's not leaving. Keith.exe stops working. And while he's having this mental meltdown Lance asks him not to tell the others, that he wants to tell them himself at the party. Keith respects his decision.

At the party, he decides to tell Shiro first. And boy howdy is Shiro blasted. Absolutely smashed off his ass. Lance gets to have a conversation with a way-too-honest drunk Shiro. Firstly, he and Adam officially broke up. Because duh, Shiro's going back to space and that was Adam's ultimatum. Hence, alcohol. Second, when Lance tells him he's not leaving, drunk Shiro gets really emotional for some reason and starts apologizing. Apparently, when Keith made fighter pilot and Lance didn't, that was Shiro. Lance was supposed to be promoted (Keith's issues with authority were holding him back), but Shiro, as a high ranking officer, overruled that decision. He goes on to talk about how he projected onto Keith. That he saw himself in him, and he wanted to give this kid every opportunity that Shiro wouldn't get because that disease or whatever was supposed to put him in an early grave. He projected all his dreams onto this gifted orphan kid, that he never really considered what Keith wanted. Keith didn't care about going to space or being a pilot, he just wanted to be somewhere where he belonged, where he could help others. He never wanted to be leader.

Shiro takes a big chug of booze.

Black chose Lance. When he was stuck in the astral plane, bound to the Black Lion, Black tried to choose Lance and Shiro overruled that decision. Just like he overruled his promotion in school. Because Shiro wanted Keith to have what Shiro wanted, everyone else be damned.

Lance is shocked. He doesn't know what to think. Is he mad? Is he relieved?

Sidebar, bc idk where else to put this, that hallway dream I mentioned before? It was Lance connecting with the Lions. When he goes into any other door he has a moment of, Is that Allura? Oh wait, it's his sister Rachel on the beach they grew up next to. Is that Pidge in the garden? No it's Veronica. Etc etc. And each time Lance will say he wants to stay there with his loved one. They smile sadly, tell him they'd love for him to stay, but he doesn't belong there. What I failed to mention before is that we actually see Lance pilot every Lion at some point. Blue and Red sure, but Green to save Pidge and Yellow when Hunk was in danger. Lance can pilot every Lion. Here's that twist: Lance is Voltron. There is no Voltron without Lance. Here's where we loop in why his siblings look like the other paladins--because it's Lance's connection to them that makes them paladins. It's their dynamics. Lance could technically deem anyone worthy to be a paladin, but unconsciously or not, it's all him. Allura was meant to have Blue right out of the gate. Because Lance can connect to any Lion, that's why he was able to pilot Blue at first. But there was a communication error, and Allura called Shiro the leader, and because Lance agreed and looked up to him, the Lions accepted it too. It's not until Shiro "dies" and gets tied to Black and fucks with everything that that connection is disturbed. Why that door in his dream is suddenly closed. Shiro overruled Black and the Lions sent Lance to Red since Allura was always meant to have Blue. Lance could pilot any of them but he's meant to be the Black Paladin.

Anyways,,, so drunk Shiro spills the beans, Lance takes his rightful place as leader and Keith goes back to the role that most befits his fucking character arc--support. Right hand man. Not the leader, but the one that's going to jump to help before anyone else. Fuck you, LM and JDS. And like, Lance the Strategist and Fuck You he was the de facto leader when Kuron was melting down and Keith was MIA anyway and he was GOOD AT IT I AM OWED FINANCIAL COMPENSATION—

Anyway.

Have I ever mentioned how I’ve only watched the final season once? In a single sitting? At midnight on my birthday when it was released in 2018? So my memory is foggy but my anger is real.

Surprise! Blondie is actually witch lady! (Which iirc was an actual twist in the original 80s cartoon). And psych!! It was HER altean death camp all along!! Lotor had nothing to do with it and she used her magic to make him lose his marbles and fight them! And god help me I cannot fucking remember what her canonical villain plot even was, so maybe she still went crazy and did some stupid multi-dimensional bullshit to get her family back. So then why kill Lotor before? Right, because he founded the Blades. He’s thousands of years old, and from a relatively young age was against the way his family was running things, so he started the Blades. He and Acxa were working undercover during all that s3/s4 nonsense. Witch lady finds that out and perceives it as a betrayal. Kills him, wants to start fresh with a younger, more impressionable son.

Again, she nearly fucks all of existence but the gang stops her just in time. Allura tries to sacrifice herself but free-from-quintessence-poisoning witch saves fuck that, you’ve lost enough. And cleans up her own damn mess her own damn self.

Universe saved, galra home world unfucked, lotor no longer a quintessence mummy, but no Altea. Altea is GONE but galra world was mostly still there. A bunch of alteans-in-hiding finally come out of the woodwork, and the ones from the quint farm are free. Blondie is still not a real person, though.

The lions do not fuck off to god knows where, allura is alive, lotor is at her side, and that ties up all the main threads or whatever, and we get to end with universal peace and the defender of the universe is still out there doing good, dismantling the remains of the empire which, without the quint-poisoned overlords, is not all that much of a dire threat. They’re still an empire that’s done war crimes, but at least there’s no more giant monsters, y’feel?

Oh right, I’m missing a part in the middle—remember that alt dimension episode in like s3? With evil alteans? Yeah that, but with explicit Evil Quint-Crazed Immortal Allura and Resistance Leader Lotor. Like. Explicit foreshadowing. It’s also meant to bridge the gap of Allura making peace with Keith being galra and the start of keith being vulnerable around Lance, so.

It’s been 5 years and I’m still mad, but it’s been 5 years and my memory is not so great so ta-da, that’s the gist of my fuck-you-Lance-is-the-main-character rewrite. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#apple talks #long post #I pray the read more works bc this is a beast #obviously not all elements are completely flushed out sorry Allura and hunk but u weren’t done as dirty as my boy so #vld #dude the auto tags are golden. I almost typed the whole thing and was suggested legendary: disaster. queerbait. disappointment. 😂😂😂

Blurred Lines

Blurred Lines https://archiveofourown.org/works/51819091 by WatermelonTuesdays Shiro and Keith have been getting a little too close after hours at the Garrison. They try and behave, to keep a lid on things. But it's so hard to deny yourself something that would be so good. And they slowly lose willpower. ----- “Keith,” Shiro says, low and serious. It’s a warning. “What?” Keith’s voice is faux-innocence. He tilts his head back against the pillow to get a look at Shiro. “I’m not doing anything,” he argues even as his hips move again. “Sir,” he adds, like that will help his case. “We shouldn’t.” “We’re not.” Keith turns until he’s down on his back, hip pressed close against Shiro.

Ten Random Lines

Rules: pick any ten of your fics, scroll to the midpoint, pick a line (or three) and share it. Then tag ten people.

I was tagged by @sivan325​ & @scottxlogan. Thank you for the tag!

Have You Ever Seen Something So Wonderful (VLD)

I fumble with my own swords as I take several unbalanced steps backwards until my back is leaning against a wooden pole that holds the sails. I look down to see water just below me, roaring as the storm finally greets the battle.  

It starts pouring rain, my blood mixing with the falling water. Lotor doesn't slip- lucky bastard- but he walks slowly as I try to catch my breath. I grip my sword in my hand tightly, knowing my knuckles turned white.  

Lotor doesn't give a final speech once he approaches me, only an evil smile as he looks down at me like I'm some ant under his boot. I almost laugh at the mere thought but it would pain me too much for just the simple gesture.  

2. Gravity is Not My Friend (Iron Man Movies)

I can’t catch for shit and if I do it doesn’t make much of a difference in the outcome. I remember how I couldn’t catch any fruit Jarvis tossed to me or anything Stane threw at me. I remember how I couldn’t catch Pepper when she fell to her ‘death’ or how I couldn’t catch Rhodey when he got hit by Vision’s beam. I remember how I couldn’t catch the moon Thanos dropped on me or when I did catch Peter the kid still dusted into particles and was gone for five years. I'm not a valuable catcher and now it seems like I have to catch again.

This time though... This time I need to catch my baby girl, even if she is fifteen, she will always be my baby who said she loves my 3,000.

3. BANG BANG BANG (TUA)

Finally, a voice breaks through the fog or pain and numbness, “This is going to hurt.”  

I try to brace for it but somebody grabs me, definitely aggravating my injuries, and then we’re falling again. I clench my eyes shut at the sudden bout of nausea and barely keep the contents of my stomach inside when we finally land. My injuries turn into fire and I arch my back against the pain erupting all over me.  

4. You and Me Against the World (VLD)

No no no no no no. This wasn’t supposed to happen! Pidge was supposed to have gotten away. She was supposed to have followed Kolivan, Sam, and Matt and gotten away. She was supposed to be safe and away, not protecting me. I was supposed to take the hit, I would have survived the hit. Now Pidge is in my arms and dying because she took a hit from that witch that was meant for me.   

I killed her. I killed that witch. Grabbed a stake and stabbed it through her black heart. I watched the life leave her eyes as she dragged her nails down my shoulder, possibly scaring me for life though it wouldn’t be the first time she left a wound that wouldn’t heal. It burns but my chest is in more pain at the mere thought of Pidge not surviving, especially before I tell her my feelings for her.

5. Bleeding Out For You (Divergent)

“No.” I growl before I grab his shirt and I punch him in his chest, seeing him get pushed into one of his lackeys, which they decide to come closer and I know that Tris is getting Caleb so I quickly form a wall with my body while she talks to Caleb.  

“Oh yeah, this is going to be fun.”  

“Everybody just calm down all right?”  

And I see Tris start to advance before I quickly grab her wrist, hoping we won’t have to fight. I see her eyes widen as she looks down at her wrist that is now covered with my blood from the wound. She looks startled as she searches me for wounds until she notices my hip.  

6. Death is Not the End But a Glorified Existence (VLD)

“I don’t know the other guy, but if he’s with Shiro then he has to be a friend then foe.”  

“He’s Keith.”  

I look down at the girl, “You know him?”  

She nods, “He’s the one Pidge has been getting information from and brought her here before he disappeared. He helped us on our last mission and took with him a baby vampire. He's not one though because he was out in the sun and didn’t turn into ash.”  

I turn back to the screen and see that they are both staring at the camera and waiting for something to happen, “What should we do?”

7. I Don't Need to Breathe (But I Still Need Oxygen) (TUA)

“Are you back to the land of the living?”  

I nod my head slowly as I take a deep breath, “Y-yeah. S-so-sorry.”  

I grit my teeth at the stutter. I see Five just nod before he sits on the bed.  

“No need to apologize. You didn’t wake the others; you weren’t even that loud. I only heard because I'm a trained time assassin who was getting his evening coffee.”  

I just nod my head as I put my face in my hands and just sigh. I sit there for a minute before I look up to see Five staring at me.  

8. I'm Not Sorry (TUA)

“Can we go to the Academy?”  

It takes me a second to answer, thinking about what Five said, “I don’t know.”  

“I think we should. I want to meet the others! And he did say that he would make us so...” Keith just shrugs his shoulders with a smile like everything was so easy, “Will Uncle Klaus and Aunt Vanya be there?”  

I shrug my shoulders at his question, “I have no idea buddy, but if you did want to talk to them, we could schedule a date,” I offer.  

9. The Rise of Voltron's Family (VLD)

“Did you hear her?” The Altean didn't sound rude this time, but curious. 

Her head was tilted a little and she had her hands on her hips like she was belittling some kit or something. And then her eyes widen as she takes a step backwards. 

“And why are you pale instead of purple?” Oh yeah, I forgot I had to shift. 

“Because I am what you will call a half-breed, I'm not a full-blooded Galran.” I take a step backwards, not wanting to go into my genetics right now. 

10. I'm Selfish (But It's Warm and Safe) (Avengers Movies)

“Who did this to you?” He repeats.  

I shrug my shoulders and study the ground because I can’t force myself to answer the question. It doesn’t matter, there isn’t much he can do about it anyway, I'll just worry him for no reason. I just need to live through junior and senior year and I'll be out of his way and hopefully out of his iron hold on me. Besides, Stark men are made out of iron. I can totally handle this on my own because I’m a Stark. I don’t need anybody to worry about me. I'm fine.  

I am gonna tag: @flannelfangirl / @quintessenceofdust73 / @dchan87 / @sisiwritesfanfics / @bluedemon1995 / @princessallura052 / @cmdr-fil / @kalluraloveblog / @crimson-mage-02 and whoever wants to join in!

[ruvviks]

ohhh, how abt mikhail + goro, panam, rogue and kerry? 👀

oc get-along asks!

🍙 - goro takemura

NOW THIS IS INTERESTING because both of them have been part of arasaka security so they would be able to bond in a very specific way that i cannot explain but it's in the same way as how mikhail and shiro (another one of my ocs, also an old man, also ex arasaka security) and vitali and shiro bonded. they all look at the world from a specific strategic point of view which makes them see the benefits of befriending each other because of the advantages it could give them in the future so their relationship would've been strictly professional at first, and then Later they would actually become friends

mikhail and goro didn't interact a lot during the in-game events but they properly meet after the arasaka arc. vincent was very excited about goro being back so mikhail (who mostly just saw goro during the arasaka arc as an enemy since he was back with arasaka) really made an effort to go into it as unbiased as possible and it didn't take him very long to warm up to the old man. both of them are now in some sort of head of security + bodyguard position but for a different fixer so they see eye to eye on a lot of things and work very well together :]

🚙 - panam palmer

mikhail and panam don't hang out a lot but when they do, they enjoy each other's company! mikhail will probably never get used to panam's playful banter but he knows it's all just fun and games and likes tagging along when she and vincent are going out for whatever

he's less likely to go on gigs with her mainly because their fighting styles are very different and they would just spend the entire gig fearing for their lives because of the other not doing things the way they want it to go LMAO so they mostly just hang out in their free time or see each other around at vitali's office and that's about it <3

🥃 - rogue amendiares

mikhail and rogue also don't see each other very often, but they both have a lot of respect for each other. mikhail knows better than to try and start shit with rogue and admires how she handles her business as well as all the shit with the council without losing her fucking mind in the process SHGJFDGHJD

in return, rogue knows about how mikhail used to fuck over both kang tao and arasaka by passing along information between the two corporations in secret and she is very impressed that he managed to get all of it done without getting caught

so yeah it's mostly just an "admiring each other from a distance and occasionally working together" kind of relationship :] but that is ok mikhail would Not know what to talk about with rogue LMFAO

🎤 - kerry eurodyne

as already mentioned in another ask, i have not in fact met kerry in the game so i have no idea what this guy is like SHGJFDGDJ considering he doesn't really play a role in my canon as of now, i don't think he and mikhail would get along very well they would both just be the equivalent of the standing man emoji were they to ever meet each other 😭😭😭

#asks #mutuals #morvaris #ask:mikhail #oc asks #mikhail is a lot less involved in the main storyline so i have less to yell about for him :(( he's just chilling on the sidelines #i love him so much though. my stick bug boyfriend

[demenior]

👻, 📗, and/or 💭 for the fanfic writer ask game!

👻 What is your wildest headcanon?

We talk primarily about Fealty, so I'll stick to the CrittyRole Campaign 2 scope for this one:

I can't think of anything that wild, so here's a few:

Fjord doesn't have a real birth date becuase the orphanage assigned all of the kids whatever Exandria's version of 'January 1st' is. Easier to keep track when all the kids gain a year at the same time. Idk if Exandria does birth certificates or social security or whatever, but that is his legal birth date. Jester and Marion make it their business to pick him a perfect

Trent trained Volstrucker in trios with the intention of only bringing two into the ranks. At the end of their training, when they've all proven themselves (killed ther families) and he's encouraged very codependant (or even romantic) bonds between them, their final test is for the two he has decided will continue will assassinate the third to show their skills at taking out an unsuspecting target, and prove that they will obey at all costs.

Caduceus is great at siblings, but actually not that great with kids

📗 Do you want to write something outside of fanfiction? If so, what about?

Like any good writer, of course I do! I'd likely stick to YA or Adult sci-fi/fantasy (similar to what I write in fic) as that's my passion!

My most developed story focuses on a secret organization that acts as basically Fantasy Cops in that they police all things Not Human and make sure those things Stay Secret from Humans. There was a mix of political intrigue as some of these Fantasy Cops were trying to organize a Big Arrest (read: kill) in order to become Ruler of the Fantasy Cops. There was heavy religious imagery involved and especially in how it was all about controlling people rather than actually spiritual. There was of course several other characters who were either born into the non-human side of things, or found their way there. Multiple povs, all intersecting to an eventual Cool Big Fight. Yes I was in high school when it started.

This blog is old enough (it started after high school) that there's a tag for this story (Amantes) but the posts are almost all 10 years old at this point so....

💭 What inspires you and your writing?

I'm ALL about characters, so it's usually something juicy to do with a character dynamic within themselves that I wanna poke at more (the Switch the Beat series was wanting to zero in on Shiro's drive to live at all costs), or the dynamic between several characters that I want to draw out (the a life of little things series (Fealty) is one of these).

Or I'm listening to a song and get hit with the visual of a Very Cool Scene/Moment and now I gotta figure out how to earn it. (To Exist Again's ending scene of Sam unleashing his psychic/magic potential despite Death himself warning him off, was inspired by the big finale of Ghost Love Score.)

[white--moon]

He might’ve misjudged how serious this is to Shiro. He doesn’t step back when Shiro rounds on him, but mostly because he likes Shiro in his space a hell of a fucking lot. Even apparently, when he looks like he might take a swing after all. Which leaves Ichigo mostly in his attractive face, trying not to watch his mouth.

His brows knit into a frown though as he processes that line of questions. Statements. It’s not like he couldn’t defend himself. Shiro did it to himself. If people stopped wanting drugs and money, he’d be out of a job. And it was his suggestion that led Ichigo here, doing this, which he also assumed was what Shiro wanted. But no amount of telling Shiro he created his own mess is going to fix it. The solution is simple. Not that he expects Shiro to agree. “Then fire me. I can find something else to do.” It’s a depressing idea, but they’d both be better off.

He starts to shrug, but stops. “What?” he repeats. “No. Not— Commitment to you. Like a relationship.” And he’s starting to realize that if Shiro hasn’t even considered it, this isn’t going to go well. This is going to be a painful rejection, and he’s going to be shouldering it alone, because he stuck himself out there like a fucking idiot.

Ichigo's stupid attractive face is looking extremely punchable right now, and yet he's still somehow impressed and intrigued that he doesn't even flinch when Shiro rounds on him. He's not a pushover, he's confident, and he's exactly Shiro's type and Shiro is so mad about that right now because he's also disgustingly attracted to it.

He's picking someplace with a bar for dinner, he's decided, because he needs a cold shower but something strong on ice will have to do.

He studies Ichigo's frown and still wants to punch him, but scoffs instead. "Yeah. I tried to give you space in the beginning, before the physical stuff. I was working up to cuttin' you lose, and you got mad about it. I can't fire you, you don't work for me. You'd just come back 'cause you like it, and I like it too, so. I don't wanna fire you." Besides, if he did that and if Ichigo actually took it serious, then they wouldn't have an excuse to keep doing everything else they're doing and Shiro doesn't want that to stop.

All of his thoughts sort of just stop and he stands there, frozen, like some kind of dumbass for at least a solid thirty seconds. "Like a relationship." He repeats, then takes a breath and opens his mouth to say more and stops, suddenly looking anywhere but at Ichigo. "Like.... the two of us? I-" What a dumb question. What is he, sixteen again? He stopped even trying to date when he started sleeping with Ichigo. He didn't exactly forget about wanting that, he just... didn't like the candidates as much after he started to get to know Ichigo better. "Uh. No, it wasn't about commitment, but–" Fuck. "Is that–?" Shit. Shiro can literally negotiate the price tag on whether someone lives or dies, he can ruin lives over a few numbers after feeding a stranger's addiction, but apparently shuts down when it comes to his own emotions. But he still can't just brush off something he knows he wants. "We could talk about it, if you wanted."

[neutrallyobsessed]

If you don't mind me E N T E R I N G your blog, basically i played through investigations and ace attorney 1 recently so i have been mostly just lurking the narumayo tag, instead of playing the damn games and might i ask, do you have any non ace attorney ships you're into?

Why please my dear friend~! Come in, come in! Between, between~!................

Non-ace attorney???? Ships????

sjkjsksjkas ok but i got quite a few.... tis nothing all that interesting, all straight and mostly canon.... if a show is showing me [male character] and [female character] enjoying each other's presence with a lil bit of love-teasing then I'll probably ship it lel

so ahhh mucho texto alert xd:

Of course I'll start with the funny reference above, TUGS.....

There's Hercules x Lillie of course, but Sunshine x Sally... they got something going on~, like the fact that there's little screetime between them and what they have is all very 👀👀👀 makes my imagination soar through the air ngl jsjsjk ((id say something bout the lack of content but we're talking bout tugs, thats in general xd))

On a related note, yes I am looking for some good ships in Thomas but I can't seem to find any or like, ♂ and ♀ interacted and didn't hate each other so SHIP jskjsksjks then again, tis just an adjacent fandom I'm not paying close attention to it

And for the rest of the live-action, I don't watch live-action,,,, but what i have is: Patrick x Teresa and Rigsby x Van Pelt from The Mentalist, Jim x Pam in The Office (everything else idc or dont like it) and most importantly, Carly x Freddie in iCarly. I really drop the show when they made Sam x Freddie canon lmao enemies-to-lovers my belothed </3

______________

I looked through my cartoon list and it's pretty much married couples and all that is canon lol: i like Fry/Leela, Shrek/Fiona, Josh/Emily, Alejo/Valentina, Bugs/Lola, Daffy/Tina, if a western magical girls show gives each girl a boy to crush on/date then imma ship it, I'm just that simple lol

but ofc it gotta be reciprocated, if it's one-sided and the other party doesn't like it then I won't like it either :/.....

That being said, western cartoon romance sucks, they're all so bad unless they're already married ksjakjskajs the fall of western civilization what the helllll

I guess Lotor x Allura or Shiro x Pidge in Voltron:LD but damn, its voltron, everybody loses when it comes to shipping there e.e

______________

And now what's REAL good! ANIME!!!

Starting strong with the best, the god tier, the absolute 10/10 ship of all time...

Marin x Melan from Brigadoon. The ultimate ship. Best love story ever told. No one can deny it. I can't go into much detail because it's better to go full blind but this really is the OTP of OTPs, I'd do more content of them but Melan is sooooo difficult to draw 😭

Unironic and monogamic, Light x Misa from Death Note, I do believe he could fall for her and both really are a match made in hell~♡

Kamina x Yoko from Gurren Lagann was pretty good for what it lasted lel

Gaku x Tsumugi from IDOLiSH7, what a power (and based) move to remove the otome aspect in the I7 anime but have one of the guys be purely in love with the manager of the rival boy band... they're not even "rivals" exactly, they're just co-workers in a somewhat competitive field, is the enviroment that gives it a forbiden fruit/rivals-to-lovers taste but they're actually friends all around lmao

There are many lovely married couples in JoJo, but from the non-canon that I like?? Kakyoin x Holly. For real, it's so lovely, funny and bizarre (xd) not only they should get togheter but Josuke should have been their son. Think about it, he'd still be a Joestar through Holly, have a stand through Kakyoin and it wouldn't break Joseph's character!

Alto x Ranka from Macross Frontier, I don't know/care if there's a movie that says otherwise, these two end up togheter at the end fuck you fuck you ((also Hayato x Freyja in Delta and I still don't know bout SDF xd haven't watch the movie yet... and who cares about seven???))

Lunge and Eva from Monster should have totally team up togheter and maybe fall in love with each other in the process 👉👈

Naruto x Hinata my canon beloved ♥ but..... Neji x Hinata....! aaaaaaa the story is kinda funny actually. At the time I was considering shipping it, r/dankgentina was doing like, a fuck-ton of Santiago del Estero (being the Alabama of Argentina) memes and "La prima lejana" by Los Autenticos Decadentes kept being referenced, for obvious reasons: la prima lejana means the distant cousin♀ so I think you can guess what's the song is about... point being that I thought to myself "If I like the song, Imma ship them cousins". It's a song from my childhood. La prima lejana is a song that I loved in my childhood and now I know what is about and now I ship the cousins lmao.

KawoShin? AsuShin? Kaworu x Asuka! that's where the good Evangelion shits at!!

I kinda ship Utena and Touga, but that's just to trig the libs lmao

Pleaseeee tell me that Claudio and Nicoletta get togheter in Ristorante Paradiso cmonnnnn that was like the only thing i was invested in that god forsaken anime aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa why are joseis like this??? (ok i do know but still... also you gotta bring proof, this is an mainly ace attorney blog, we're evidence-based here 😤)

fuck you fuck you fuck you, Sakura and Yukito should have get togheter, the teacher and the """she's so mature for her age!""" student are actually canon in the manga so CLAMP literally has no problem with that so why not here???.... this are the remains of lil me liking Yukito and projecting through Sakurita but I still agree and now I have more reason to...!

Protagonist x Akashi from The Tatami Galaxy~ very basic, very nice~

Very mixed with the ships of Inazuma Eleven... like, Endou x Natsumi is canon in games and anime and is sorta fun? But Endou x Fuyuka is canon in the game Rangu is playing and it's really sweet and I love it?? But Rangu himself ships Endou x Touko and he's absolutely right??? idk but Kidou x Haruna does slap tho

(and i have no idea in GO, there are so many combos and I guess there was something bout Nosaka and Anna in Ares/Orion?)

I don't really ship much in Pokemon, maybe self-shipping with some of them guys... on the other hand, Lucy actually liked and accepted Brock's advances on her? and that's epic, i love it! And then... then there's Ikarishipping (Paul x Dawn). What a fucking great ship name that is, next to JustWright, it still has that enemies-to-lovers taste I don't like but it is kinda cute and it hold my attention for more than 10 seconds, so that's something- also more fandoms should do that ______shipping naming thing xd

______________

welp, that was a long thing to write lol, anyways thanks for reading, asking and for your patience haha^^

in any case, this makes me consider doing an entire month dedicated to my other aa ships and another month dedicated to all my non-aa ships xd it'll be great~

#ask #nah i aint tagging all of that #its going to appear in someones search anyways #xd #youtube

Day 10  - I of the Storm

August 21, 2870; EDZ, Earth

Uppercut.  Spin.  Jab. Weight on the back foot, lean in time to miss the blade, push forward to strike an electrified palm into the center of mass.  Sweep backhand with the Staff to take care of the other.  Hit low on the legs to kill this one’s momentum, turn and spear it through the heart.

Someone says a word. A name.  Your name, maybe?

There are no more Fallen here- they retreat, some thirty meters away already, and you will need to run to catch up.

There is someone in your way.  He says that name, again, holding up an empty hand in a gesture of warning.  His other hand has a gun in it.  

You move to sidestep him and he moves with you, slow and delayed but still blocking your path. There is a sternness in his dark eyes. You get the feeling you should listen to what he is saying, but you don’t understand the words.

You don’t understand words. It’s slow, too slow, and the Arc itches at you to move, to fight, to do something, rather than just stand here and watch in confusion as Andal makes meaningless gestures.

His grip on his Hand Cannon tightens.  It is impossible to miss.

This situation is dangerous.

He says some other words, one of which you recognize as a different name, and the second person behind you tenses.

You spin, sharp as a knife. Shiro has already drawn his Dusk Bow and it’s pointed at you.  Everything is muscle memory and intuition as he looses, the Tether shrieks through the air and you can feel it coming with every one of your senses- the prickle on your skin, the purple glow, the shriek, the taste of ash in your mouth.

But the Arc roars louder- not strong enough to break it, that’s not what the Arc does, but strong enough to shift, to bend, to alter its course and make a new one.  You twirl, catching the Tether in your wake.  It dances as everything must dance, held at the whims of the forces off the universe.  You are some of those forces right now (or they are you- little difference).

You turn, elegant and perfect, and heave the Tether right back at him.  There is a look of surprise on his face and though he is the fastest out of all of them, he is still far too slow to duck it.

Tevis apparently knows better.  Redirecting Shiro’s Dusk Bow has taken time.  Tevis has moved close, a knife in his hand.  You cannot deflect a knife, not with the force of an arm and a body behind it.

Still, Tevis is moving in comical slow motion.  You swipe him out of the way, backhand.  It takes noticeable time for his body to hit the ground.  It’s like everything is suspended in syrup, sweat drops glittering like crystals in the air.  Even the electricity branching from your Staff seems slow.  The blood rushes in your ears.  Your hands shake with unspent energy.  You need to go.

Andal snaps an order. The sound reverberates for an agonizingly long moment.  How could you even pay attention long enough, not when you could be halfway across the clearing before the next word left his lips?

But he stands, chin up in challenge.  He has put his gun away.  And though his voice and manner are gentle, there is a solid core of command to him. Stay.

The Fallen are too far away now in any case.  Maybe you will-

 -

Andal lunged forward just as Azra’s legs gave out.  One second she was strong and fast and the Arc was singing a powerful song in her head, the next everything was just… dull.

Andal caught her under her arms and gently lowered her to the ground.  Azra was… crying?  Yes.  Sobbing like a child, raw and messy.  She clutched at him like she’d be swept away if she let go.  He shushed her gently.

Shiro was resurrected with a flash of Light, Tevis following shortly.  “I told you,” the Nightstalker groaned as he sat up.  “It ain’t a Bladetrance.  Can’t call an Arcstrider back the same way.”

“I was-“ Azra gasped. “I was alone, there were so many of them-”

“It’s alright now,” Andal soothed.  “You’re fine, we’re here.”

“It was-“  Azra couldn’t find words to describe it.  For a moment, she felt the current tug at her again. Powerful, free, bold, and razor-sharp.

Andal’s arms squeezed harder, anchoring her.  “Take a moment,” he urged.  “Collect yourself.”

Azra gave up on trying to talk and just let Andal hold her.  She focused on breathing and counting the beats of her heart.  It felt like an eternity later when she shaking stopped and she could loosen her grip on his cape without feeling vertigo.

“You good?” Andal asked, pulling back.  He looked so concerned.  Had it really been that bad?

“I…” Azra didn’t quite know how to answer.  At the very least, she was shaken.  She didn’t feel injured, but she was frazzled and numb.

“You’re young, so you’re still learning,” Tevis said.  “Take this as a lesson.  Don’t go that deep.  It’s not worth it.  Always a price to be paid.”

Feeling the exhaustion sapping life from every cell in her body, the terrible slowness that dragged at her mind, Azra had to agree.

“You’ll be fine.  Just take it easy for a bit,” Andal bargained. “Get some food in you- that always helps.  And tell me if anything hurts.  But we have to keep moving.”

“A’ight,” Azra muttered, letting the Gunslinger pull her back to her feet.

stargazing | oc

oc (shiro) x gn!reader.

no tw, just fluff (maybe some light cursing) | written in 2nd pov.

credits to @phr0gnt for the oc <3 i can't tag you what is this

STARGAZING with shiro was a good and bad idea.

.. a good start, i know.

but seriously, as much as you love sleep, now is not the time. you wanted to hear his voice more and listening to him ramble off about something made you feel calm. his adorable face while talking doesn't help either.

god, you've fallen so hard for shiro and you have no problem with it whatsoever.

but friendzone hits hard like a slap across the face.

although that's not the point here— well, kinda.

right now, you wanna focus on him. oh him.

unconsciously leaning on his shoulder, the coldness radiating off of him gave you shivers but whatever to get close to him. he feels so familiar and yet you can't put a finger on it.

and before you knew it you had fallen asleep, not caring about his body temperature. being near him was enough.

shiro, who felt a weight on his shoulder, looked over and spotting you in deep slumber. not knowing whether to move away or stay, he thought "fuck it" and kept you there. not before placing his coat over just so you can at least have warmth.

you snuggled into the cloth, the soft interior bringing you warmth. a smile being visible on your face and that was one of the things that made shiro fall in love. well— more of a crush? eh, same thing.

the hot chocolates long forgotten and now cold, the two of you sat on the rooftop of his cafe, enjoying the presence of the other.

I Won’t Forget You - Spencer Reid x Reader

Masterlist 

Part 10 

Pairing: Spencer Reid x Reader 

Warnings: Panic attacks, small talk of sexual topics, Cliffhanger, Vague Voltron spoilers 

Tags: @dra-reid, @eevee0722, @ceeellewrites, @anotherr-fine-mess. @ssahoodrathotchner

~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

You walked up the stairs with Spencer walking behind you. You two had chatted over nerdy tv-shows you both watched the entire drive to your apartment. You didn't think you could fall in love anymore than you had, but you were wrong. Very, very much wrong. 

The way he had smiled as he talked to you over his favorite scenes in Doctor Who and which of the doctors was his favorite, it made you wonder how you could ever see him differently. You guessed you never would. 

"Okay okay… so you're telling me you want me to explain Voltron again?" You asked, laughing softly to yourself as you turned to face Spencer once you made it to your floor.  

"I still don't understand the plotline. You explain it from a biased point of view, having seen it already. That's probably why I can't understand it." Spencer expressed, a smirk obvious on his face. You rolled your eyes and giggled slightly.

"Oh hush. Leave me and Shiro alone." You huffed, laughing a little harder. You finally made it to the door and sighed, looking up to Spencer. 

"Okay… so… like I said, my roommates are… weird."

"So?" Spencer added, raising an eyebrow at you. 

"So… this is a fair warning." You laughed, unlocking the door and letting it swing open. 

Immediately the barking of a small dog entered your peripherals. You widen your eyes and raise an eyebrow. 

"The hell?!" You exclaim, moving in front of Spencer as you tried to figure out who's dog this was. 

"Sorry (Y/N/N)!" You hear from down the hall. 

"Gabriel I swear to god-" 

"Gabriel?" Spencer asked from behind you, clearly confused. 

You sighed and shook your head. "I'm so sorry, he does these things so randomly--I'll deal with this, you just take a seat." You ushered Spencer towards the couch before turning around towards your friend who ran after the terrier that was bouncing between you two. 

"Gabriel, you wanna tell me why the day I come back from a two day case, telling you I have somebody coming over, you impulsively decide to get a dog?" You ask, crossing your arms and glaring at him with narrowed eyes.

Gabriel laughed and rubbed his neck. "Look, (Y/N/N), you weren't there. He was just begging to be adopted and spoiled! So… I may or may not have done just that." He finally concludes, smiling down at the dog between the two of you. 

You sigh and pinch the bridge of your nose, shaking your head. You turn around and face Spencer, gesturing towards Gabriel who now had picked up the dog and was getting his face licked off. "You wanna question whether or not my roommates are weird yet?" 

Spencer chuckled softly to himself. "No, I don't." He laughed. You let a smile creep onto your lips before you turn back towards your best friend. 

"Okay… just… potty train him. And don't feed him candy, please. Just cause that's your diet doesn't mean it's gotta be his." You smiled at him, giving him a compromise you knew he could handle. 

"Alright alright, whatever you say mom." He teased. He looked over and looked at Spencer, smirking immediately. 

"Wait a minute…" he began slowly, walking over towards him. You widen your eyes. Shit. Gabriel recognized Spencer! Gabriel was unpredictable with how he used information. You just hoped he knew the dangerous waters he was going to tread if he said anything about how you felt to Spencer. 

"You're that student teacher guy (Y/N) met our day of finals, aren't you? The guy she said was from the BAU?" He asks, a gigantic smirk plastering itself almost permanently on his face. You were dead. He was going to reveal everything and you were going to drop dead of embarrassment. 

"I-I uh… I believe there were three of us. Two of my coworkers and I. I would need a significant amount of more information to tell you for certain." He insists, resorting to his statistics for when he got nervous. 

Gabriel chuckled. "No need, I saw you two nerding out together that day. I'd be able to point you out in a crowd bud." Gabriel put the terrier down onto the ground, watching it as it tried to get your attention. You smiled down at the dog, picking it up and reacting to how much it weighed. 

"Jesus, what was that shelter feeding you?" You ask it, letting the dog lick you. 

Gabriel watches you for a second before he turns back towards Spencer. "Alright, listen up before she decides to put Mjolnir over there down." He starts, gesturing with his thumb towards the dog. 

Spencer blinked a few times, backing away from Gabriel's suddenly serious gaze. He stayed silent, wary of what this roommate of yours wanted. 

"If she gets hurt, in like any way shape or form while on the job, I'm blaming you. Keep an eye on her while I can't. She's a stubborn ass, but I care a hell of a lot about her. So watch over her, will you?" He almost hissed into Spencer’s ear.  

The relief that washed over Spencer was immediate. He had thought Gabriel was jealous. Or that Gabriel wanted to get rid of him. He was very glad to know that wasn't the case. 

"She can take care of herself, you know." Spencer mistakenly responded. Gabriel opened his mouth to retort, only for you to turn around. 

"What did you say his name was?" You asked, making Mjolnir wave his paw. 

Gabriel put a smile on his face as he straightened his posture. For a short guy, he was seriously intimidating if he wanted to be, Spencer pondered. 

"Mjolnir." Gabriel smirked. You rolled your eyes. 

"You and your norse mythology kick." You teased, beginning to play with the dog for a few more moments. 

Once you weren't paying attention, Gabriel turned back to Spencer and gave him a death glare. "Okay, Yeah, she can defend herself. But sometimes, she can't. So I'm counting on you," he emphasized by poking Spencer’s chest. "To protect her since I can't. From more than just physical stuff. You're around her more than me, bucko. We clear?" Gabriel whispered harshly, giving Spencer a terrifying smirk. This was your roommate? He was afraid to find out who your other roommate was. 

Spencer nodded, managing to hide his nerves. Gabriel smiled normally afterwards turning back towards you. 

"Okay Gabriel. You know as much as I'd love to hang out with you-" you begin, handing Mjolnir to him. 

"You and Teacher's Aide got a night of nerding to do. I get it. I'm just gonna go crash at Cassie's place. I'm kinda jealous. You two get to watch fun cartoons while I gotta deal with my brother and his husband's eye-fucking." Gabriel teases, playfully shoving your shoulder. 

Spencer widened his eyes and looked up at the two of you, severely confused. Surely he hadn't actually meant… 

You laugh as you notice Spencer’s expression, causing you to shake your head. "Have a good night, Gabriel." You say in the mix of the laughter. He nodded and gave you a half salute with two fingers. 

"Use protection kiddos!" Was the last thing he says as he leaves the apartment, dog in hand. 

You feel your cheeks brighten significantly as you hear Gabriel's last comment. Damn him. You really thought you were going to get away with it. 

When you looked towards Spencer, he didn't seem to be doing any better than you in terms of the embarrassment from Gabriel's inappropriate comment. You let out a shaky laugh and take a seat on the couch a little aways from Spencer. 

"So… you really wanna question whether or not my roommates are weirdos?" 

Spencer finally let out a hearty laugh, leaning his head against the back of the couch. You instantly followed, neither of your fits of laughter ceasing for a few good minutes. You made sure to lock that memory in the good filing cabinet. You really didn't want to forget the way he laughed just then. He was too precious for your dirty self.

"Is he always like that?" Spencer asks, still somewhat laughing. You smile at him, wiping away the tears that had formed from such hard laughing. 

"Yeah, he is. You get used to it though." 

Finally, after a couple of minutes, both of you were calmer, but it wasn't as awkward as you had expected it to get. He was just, smiling at you. And you were smiling back. It felt right. And before you knew it, you were as close to him as you could get without actually getting in his lap. 

"Uh…" you began, noticing your predicament that you'd put yourself in. He seemed to notice after you did, but made no effort to move. And since he didn't, you didn't either. 

"Um… you wanna watch the new Voltron or the old one? There's no storyline connection to them like a sequel, so you don't have to watch that first." You began to change the topic, hoping to dear God that he wouldn't bring up how close the two of you were. 

"I believe the one that's your favorite you will enjoy more. So we'll watch that one." He insists. You groan. 

"Come onnn! This is supposed to be your choice! Just choose one. 80's cartoon or recent stuff?" You plead, clasping your hands together childishly. Spencer let out a short burst of laughter, shaking his head. 

"The newer stuff. Whichever one has this Shiro in it." He teases the last bit. You growl at him and huff. He laughed again, admiring how adorable your mad face was. 

"Fine. Voltron Legendary Defender it is." You settle, turning the tv on and selecting the Netflix icon. 

Halfway through the first season, Spencer was thoroughly enjoying himself by cheering for Pidge and pointing out inconsistencies in the technology. But you didn't care. He was having fun. 

"How could Lance fall for that? That's the first tactic any unsub would use to get away with something. He was too focused on getting in an alien girl's pants to notice he was obviously getting deceived." Spencer interjected once you paused the show to get some food for the two of you. 

You laugh and snicker a little to yourself. "Remind you of someone?" You prompt. 

"Yeah, Morgan. With significantly less brain. cells." Spencer insisted, making you laugh harder. 

"Hey, Lance has his good points. You'll see." You insist in return, turning around and handing Spencer a bowl of ice cream. "Sorry, we only have vanilla. Gabriel ate the rest of the Rocky Road." 

Spencer looked at the bowl for a moment, chuckling softly. "This is totally fine. Though I prefer mint." He adds. Your generosity was baffling him. Not many people offered to feed him when he came over. It all just added to how beautiful you and your soul was. 

"Ah. Well then I'll get some the next time I go to the store. I'll even padlock it so Gabriel doesn't eat it before you visit again." You promise, putting the ice cream away and grabbing the bowl you made for yourself. 

"That wouldn't be necessary. I wouldn't want to deprive Gabriel of his sugar." Spencer added with a sarcastic tone. You both sat down, laughing as you did. 

Your laughter slowly ceased and you looked up at Spencer as you put a spoonful of ice cream in your mouth. Spencer watched your lips the whole time. He wondered if they were cold from the recent spoonful of ice cream you had eaten. Or if they were still warm. He wondered how soft they would be. They had to be soft, he pondered. 

You just kept staring at him, and it made his heart pound a little faster. You took another spoonful, him watching the whole time. Then his thoughts traveled to less than innocent things. How that mouth would look on him, sucking him dry- 

Spencer turned his head and coughed, embarrassed of his own thoughts. He couldn't think like that. But how could he not? He was stuck here with both a half hard problem that thankfully would eventually go away on it's own, and with another 'problem' he couldn't tell you about. He just wanted to kiss you… was that too much to ask for. 

So Spencer picked up his already melting ice cream and began to finish it off. The two of you passed glances at each other as you did, causing you both to equally blush or giggle. 

Once you both had finished, you still hadn't started the show again. As you reached to put the now empty bowl of yours on the coffee table, Spencer noticed you had traces of ice cream on the side of your lip. He snickered and scooted closer to you. 

"What?" You asked with a giggle. Spencer looked down at you and chuckled. He reached up and wiped away something from your chin. 

"You are a messy eater…" he commented sprightly, giving you a loving look he hadn't realized the value of. You did though. Neither of you knew which of you moved first, but soon the two of you were inches away from kissing each other before there was a knock at the door. 

You both let out a hard sigh, upset that whoever this was interrupted the two of you. 

But in reality, you were kind of glad. You didn't know how to treat a relationship right now. And you knew that you would be putting Spencer in danger if you made anything official. No matter how much you desperately wanted to have that kiss, no matter how badly you wanted to ignore the door and just pull him into a heated kiss, you couldn't. 

"I uh… I'll get it." You announce a little less loud as you had spoken before. You scooted away from Spencer for a moment before standing up from the dark couch. 

Spencer watched you as you walked. He wanted fully to both kick his own ass and the ass of whoever decided to knock right fucking then. You were leaning closer, right? You wanted it? The kiss? Or were you just in so much shock that you didn't move? 

Spencer knew he couldn't do this right now. He shouldn't have even tried to kiss you. He wasn't ready. He wasn't sure he was right for you. Was it too early? So many questions danced through his head he didn't notice at first the gasp that passed your lips when you opened the door. 

Your breathing grew harder and harder, your heart began to pound faster and faster. Tears poured from your eyes and rained on the carpet below. This couldn't be happening.

You had opened the door to a small white envelope that had been stuck in your door. On the front was neatly written '(Y/N) Grant' in sickeningly recognizable cursive. You felt like a rope was coiling around your chest and starting to pull tight. No. You had escaped him. You changed everything about yourself to escape him! He couldn't have found you. 

Spencer noticed you hadn't come back over, so he turned his head to encourage you to come back. As he did he watched you fall to your knees on the floor in the doorway. He jumped up immediately, running to your side. 

You jumped and backed away from him slightly from the sudden touch. You shook heavily with your nails digging into your arms. You rocked back and forth in an attempt to calm the raging panic coursing through your body. Your blood felt like it was going to explode your veins. Your heart felt like it would burst underneath your crushed lungs. You couldn't get any air to pass your lips as much as you tried. 

Spencer cautiously got closer to you, sitting in front of you. "Hey, hey (Y/N), it's okay, it's okay, I'm here." He assured, gently touching your arm. You slightly flinched but didn't fight his touch. You felt your throat closing, causing you to panic efficiently more. 

Spencer grabbed both of your hands and spoke gently to get your attention. "(Y/N)... hey, look at me." He began, getting you to face him with your terrified eyes. 

"That's it (Y/N/N). Now I want you to focus on breathing, okay? Nothing else. In… and out…" he instructed, squeezing your hands reassuringly. 

You managed to swallow a gulp as you tried to breathe. You trusted him. And he was all you could see in the midst of the panic and memories that kept screaming in your head. You finally began to attempt to take a breath. 

You sucked in a shaky inhale, squeezing his hands tightly. After a second, you let it out just as broken. Spencer seemed satisfied. 

"Good, you're doing great (Y/N/N). Can you give me another one?" He asked you. He was focused solely on calming you and getting you to breathe. He would ask you about the letter he saw in the corner of his eye once you were ready. 

You nodded and began to try and take another breath. You did this for a few minutes, just breathing with Spencer. You could feel the panic slowly trickling away. With each breath the rope loosened and you could finally breathe completely. 

You leaned closer to Spencer and practically launched yourself into his arms. He wrapped them around you immediately, although a little hesitant. You buried your face in his neck, hugging him tightly. Sure, you two hadn't shared a hug yet--but this was different. 

Spencer rubbed your back gently, encouraging you to continue to let out your tears. He hated seeing you like this. Whatever that letter reminded you of was obviously hard for you to comprehend. So he didn't push. 

You sniffled and began to hiccup once your tears were spent and having soaked Spencer’s cardigan. You told yourself that you would have to buy him another one eventually for this. 

"(Y/N)... are you okay?" 

You sighed, thankful he was so caring. How had he not even asked about the letter yet? You know with how bad of a curiosity you had you wouldn't have been able to put it off if someone else had gotten one. 

"Ye-No. No, I-I uh… I'm not." You sniffled, using the collar of your shirt to dry your dry tears as you hiccuped. You turned over to the letter, hating it's very existence. 

"This… he…" you began, hiccuping afterwards. "It's from my stalker."

modern!au k(lance)

they're all in their 20's except for Shiro who's 30 and coran who's 50

first of all. miss me with that 'pining roommate' shit. I love miscommunication and making characters that r sexy bffs with one another

Lance meets Nyma through a Craigslist ad he put up saying he needed a roommate. the moment they met was a tragedy for everyone but them because they're that powerful and beautiful

lance with tousled hair, wearing a half-unbuttoned silk shirt and designer jeans, Michael kors sunglasses pushed up atop his head, arm wrapped around nyma: hi guys this is my roommate, nyma!

nyma, with her blonde 3-ft long box braids down her back, perfectly manicured red nails, bodycon dress and loubitons, hand on lances waist: hey

allura, shaking and on the verge of tears: STOP MAKING US LOOK POOR AND UGLY

Lance is in school for marine biology and Nyma works as a hairdresser and the both of them are small beauty gurus on YouTube that collab with one another

lance: hey guys we're going to be trying out the new anastasia pallete we got today :)!

nyma: and by got we mean shoplifted from sephora

lance: NYMA YOU CAN'T JUST SAY THAT

they're also insta baddies and both gender non-conforming baddies. Nyma is a nonbinary lesbian icon and lance is a nonbinary bicon.... those are like the fucking BEST senses of style

anyone with eyes can see that nyma is into and ONLY into girls but of course... heteronormativity.

rolo: I still don't get why you're dating lance. he's super annoying.

nyma: he doesn't bitch nearly as much as you even when he's got my cock in his ass

they do this thing where when people assume they're a couple they pretend they're some kind of kink couple and freak everyone out

which is why when hunk and pidge meet nyma they're like :eyes: but when nyma flirts with pidge lance doesn't even bat an eye and then lance starts pining about Keith's greasy mullet and his bags under his eyes and nymas got this look on her face that perfectly resembles a man who's lost all sense of normalcy and righteousness in his life and now sits in a bar every night listening to this dumb romance novel type shit and then pidge and hunk are like. oh. no they're just gay.

speaking of keith. he's one of those gays. one of the quirky emo gays that never sleeps and listens to 'coffee and cigarettes' on repeat and has like 3 strings of lights in his room and not only is an art major but ALSO a photographer. and yet somehow he still has the will to wake up at 5 am every morning and go to the gym like some kind of HEATHEN.

Lance knew Keith in high school for 3 years until he got expelled for fighting at the end of his junior year. He was also universally crushed on and was the bad boy jock of the school with a heart of gold so naturally Lance pretended to despise him so he could pine for him in peace

that all goes down the drain when Lance recognizes Keith in one of his classes and goes through the five stages of grief because a) he's hot and b) Lance is openly bi now so he doesn't have an escuse to not tolerate him

(He wasn't gonna do anything about it until he was put in a group with Keith a few weeks into class and he off handedly mentioned he went to Keiths high school, and Keith claimed he didn't remember him, and Lance was just a tad bit upset but was gonna leave it at that except after like 5 days of working together Keith slams his fists into the table and is like 'HOLY FUCK LANCE MCCLAIN?' And Lance is like. w. What.)

turns out Keith does remember lance. very vividly, actually. because he was the guy that everyone kind of had a crush on because he was so nice and charming to everyone he met, and Keith was SO gone for him. he just didn't recognize him tbh, which makes sense, bcuz in high school lance wore blue contacts and had straight hair and now he just wears glasses occasionally and leaves his hair wavy. Keith is gay and stupid don't blame him

keith, bursting into Shiro and Adams apartment at 2 pm: SHIRO HOLY FUCK

adam, bags under his eyes, underneath the covers of him and shiros bed: good fucking god not again

I'm tired of talking about ppl other than Lance and nyma though so I'm gonna talk about them for a bit because im love

as I said Lance has wavy hair and his actual eye color is brown but as he was growing up he was hella insecure about it that's why he wore blue contacts.... nyma caught him once trying to put them on again and put an end to All That Real Quick

nyma has brown eyes too and they're super dark, almost black, and that shits breathtaking bro. she usually has her real hair dyed blonde all the time and permed but she also likes to wear wigs and get braids too because she knows she looks damn good in them. everyone is jealous.

lance has tons of super light freckles. Enough said. nyma has a birthmark on her hip that's kind of shaped like a horse if you look at it from the right way

lance: you were a horse girl as a kid weren't u

nyma: how fucking dare. how fucking dare you say that. I really do have to laugh.......

nyma: obviously I was a warrior cats stan

lance's sense of fashion ranges from 'i went to California for a week once and now I can't stop wearing sweatpants and slides' to 'It's surprising I haven't gotten robbed at this point'. Lance is a scholarship baby so all the money he saved up through countless jobs and the one he already has at a coffee shop almost exclusively goes to clothes and kombucha

Nymas sense of style is definitely more on the eccentric side but since she looks good in EVERYTHING she gets away with it. think dollskill but with more neon colors and designer. she's the kind of person that never wears the same shade of lipstick for a whole month and has a box full of makeup palletes that are almost untouched and everyone who has seen it is both jealous and in wonder FENTYWAYS...

Keith goes over to lance's apartment for a project of sorts and immediately assumes that Lance and Nyma are a thing (they're very platonically affectionate, Nyma will kiss lance's cheek and they cuddle sometimes) which is disappointing but it's not a surprise considering Lance is so Lance and everyone else acts like they are dating so that must be the case, right?

lmao you thought.

nyma: holy shit. holy Fuck. God, allura is so hot. I would probably die if she brushed past me. I would die happily knowing I've been blessed by the touch of an angel.

lance: yeah haha she's really pretty.

keith, struggling to not choke on his coffee hearing All This at 9:31 A.M. in starbucks:

Keith asks if he can take photos of the two of them for his photography insta and they both jump on it so they can flex being sexy and afterwards Lance thanks him with a kiss on the cheek and Keith is sent REELING into gay mayhem.

lance: do you think that was like..... too much.

nyma: i think men are dumb that's what.

I mean u can't really blame Keith because Lance and Nyma are constantly joke-flirting with one another on social media and are in almost every one of the others photos in some way, or at least tagged, so by the time Keith actually works up the nerve to ask about that, it's been WEEKS since Lance kissed him and he's been miserably failing to ignore it

keith: so.... how's nyma doing?

lance: she's good! She's spent all day dying one of her wigs so she went for a coffee run lol. probably will hang with allura and shay later too

keith: and.... that doesn't make you jealous?

lance: LOL no.... they could never compete with me (talking about being Nyma's best friend)

keith: oh.... well, it's good that you trust each other a lot in your relationship.... you seem like a really good boyfriend

lance: wat the fuck did you just say.

as soon as lance explains that nyma is not his gf and they're just bffs Keith is like ohthankgod.jpg and almost accidentally asks lance on a date before he stops himself and is like.... dumb gay bitch calm DOOOWWWNN

after that it becomes very obvious that nyma and lance r just friends at least for Keith mostly through dumb shit they say to one another

lance, sitting with hunk, pidge, and Keith at the library: hey guys wanna see something cool.

pidge: go for it

lance, clearing his throat: she think she bad but I'm better, these bitches tryna play catch up-

nyma, coming out of nowhere: SHUT THE FUCK UP WHEN I'M TALKING LIL BITCH, PUT YO HEAD DOWN WHEN YOU TALK TO A PIMP-

Nyma and Lance have self-care nights every Friday, sometimes Allura or Shay will come, and very RARELY Keith if only to spend time with Lance. also? Allura and Shay are dating, die mad about it.

They do waxing, exfoliation, mud masks, moisturizing treatments, hair masks, painting nails.... need I go on. it's basically whatever they want to do that week and when Keith reluctantly agrees to participate one day Lance goes mental

lance: OK so here's what I'm thinking. it's obvious you haven't really had a self care day for a while, which is like, fine, you do you, but holy shit are your split ends bad. I was thinking maybe I could trim them and then we could do a hair mask? Oh! A face mask would be good as well, even though you've practically got perfect skin. I'd offer to wax but for first timers the pain is a bitch to handle on the face. I'm not sure if you'd be an acrylic kind of guy but I have some black nail polish that I could put on- wow, your hands are really big compared to mine, and they're so soft, haha, isn't that crazy? so what do you think?

keith, still reeling from the fact that lance is going to touch his hair, face, and hands in the next several hours: uh......yeah..... sounds great.

nyma, sitting on lance's bed in nothing but a bra and sweatpants, smoking a blunt and readjusting her sheet mask: *long exhale* christ

Shay got Lance into the whole healthy organic food thing and in turn he got Nyma into it so they're both the bitches who drink nothing but Fiji water and almond milk and will offer you a plate of sliced cucumbers and tomatoes as a snack. we Stan a vegan couple.

keith: these are actually really good.

nyma: we usually put them on our eyes, but go off I guess.

keith:

nyma: nah I'm just fucking with you, we have different cucumbers for that

by the end of the night Keith feels like he's been cleaned by a car wash and he's dizzy from all of lance's thoughtless affection and when lance says he can stay the night because it's already late, Keith mindlessly blurts out 'only if it's with you' and nymas like.... um. Wig.

keith, laying stiff as a board on one side of lance's bed: uh

lance: oh my God you gay bitch get over here and spoon me. also kiss me on the fucking lips bro.

Nyma owns a cat named Beezer that she stole from her old roommate (rolo) but calls her beebo because quote 'beezer is so fucking lame bro i hate men'. Lance owns a Russian blue mix called, you guessed it, Blue, that he found stuck in his apartments basement only a few days after moving in. Nyma and Lance are WEAK

lance: ohhhhh look at my pretty baby sitting on the table all cute and relaxed!!! look at that baby!!! fantastic stuff!

nyma, putting her head on beebos belly: You Are So Soft And So Chubby I Would Die For You

pidge would also die for the both of them

OK I'm tired and uninspired so I'll stop here but I MAY ADD MORE LATER

Death Doesn't Rest

by DancingSkys

The team had been together for a little over a week now and Lance was slowly getting the hang of having other people around him again. It took some adjusting but he now refrained from immediately taking out every single zombie by himself. It saved him a lot of bullets when one of the others took it upon themselves to get rid of those pests. Not only that but he had the feeling they were slowly getting closer. It was nice to have others around him to talk to and depend on. If it weren't for those annoying zombies always ruining every single minute of peace.
