chapter 5 update!
heyoooo icymi chapter 5 is up! i have this fic split up into 3 acts in my mind so far and we have reached the end of act i. i was gonna go a behind the scenes today but uhhh im gonna be at the mechanic's for a good chunk of tmrw (im going off EST) so it might be a little later in the evening tomorrow.
anyway yeah im gonna be talking about my inspiration for the specific characterization and ideas i have for the progression of the klance relationship. <3 thanks for checking it out!
i returned to tumblr after 4 years just to post this here <3
hi hello promoting first 2 chapters of my fic here. we r back in 2023 with slow burn college au klance, found family. all that good shit.
vld had the potential for a lot of character development and enrichment of the different character interactions and it kinda fell flat in the later seasons. (do not even get me started on how disappointed i was with lance's character development or lackthereof, as well as allura's ending...) at this point, i'm not sure if i actually like the show or the fan interpretation of the show more.
anyway i decided to try my hand at reworking the character arcs and their dynamics this time around because there's so much potential for all the conversations and dynamics that i wanted more fleshed out in the show, like keith and pidge, lance and shiro, allura actually being friends with lance. (reminder this is a KLANCE fic so all other pairings are platonic)
i started writing a few drabbles earlier this summer and then the drabbles took on a life of their own and now i have a beta reader—they dont have tumblr but love u bro— and i've published to ao3.
feel free to check it out!
peace n love ✌🏼
I hab Voltron ort for y’all. A bunch of different variations and I have more things planned.
Quick and dumb headcanon :
Pidge and Keith separetely discovering that, actually, the castle's vents are just great when they need alone time in a place both away from their own room and with minimal stimuli (and somewhere they could successfully avoid the others can't be found easily by the rest of the team).
Cut to the first time they awkwardly stumble upon each other :
Pidge :
Keith :
Pidge : Let's just…
Keith : I'm just gonna…
Pidge and Keith (Proceeding to crawl past each other) :
Also, also, so many possibilities :
- Them bickering on the regular over that one favorite spot because God damnit Pidge I was here first !!
- Them, sometimes just sitting quietly next to each other while coding, reading or taking a nap.
- "What happens in the vents, stays in the vents." (It's all about them talking shit and spilling tea about their last diplomatic mission. (More rarely, about quiet confessions of loneliness and fear, painful talks of sadness disguised as anger. About comfort, too.))
Anyway, Pidge & Keith, local queer space vent cryptids, my beloveds.
Costs of War
When Lance stepped into that lion he wasn’t prepared for war, he didn’t think some dumb metal beast would drag him and his friends into a millennia old conflict. He’s not sure what he did expect, but it wasn’t this.
That being said, he doesn’t regret getting on that lion, getting swept up in the war, becoming a soldier. He’s saved lives changed things for the better, he has a purpose out here. Just, at a price.
Because for every life he’s saved, he’s taken one away. He’s killed hundreds of galran soldiers over time, doomed dozens of planets by saving a different one. He can’t help everyone, often not even his own team, his family. But sometimes he can help someone.
——
The first time Lance simultaneously saves someone and dooms someone is his first two weeks in space, the team is on Arus, small pill shapes aliens give them food and entertainment and worship them as heroes. Lance had been with Coran, chatting in the control room.
Pidge’s little robot friend, Rover, had been flying about the crystal. It was odd the little thing wasn’t with Pidge, the two had been inseparable since Rover came along.
Then it started beeping.
Louder.
Faster.
Time however moved slower, by the time Lance realized something was wrong he’d already reacted, pulling Coran to the floor and covering him with his own body.
Burning.
Everything was burning. His neck and neck and face, his skin was sizzling. But there were more important things. Sendak. He was here he had Shiro, Lance had to move, had to help, two shots are fired before the pain over takes him again.but Lance can’t tell if their from or someone else. Doesn’t matter.
Burning.
It’s duller this time. Like a sunburn rather than a he-just-lit-himself-on-fire kind of burn, there’s a pleasant coolness over the rest of him.
He’s falling.
He hits someone, their arms wrap around his torso. He’s more awake by the time they drag him to a chair. He asks what happened, he doesn’t know what to say. Sendak is prisoner, Lance had managed to hit him with both shots, the Arians are mostly unharmed, but frazzled. His injuries were the worst, burns covering 40% of his back, reaching up his neck and around his chin. H they thought he was going to die. He moved on, others were more important.
This is the attack that alerts the Galran empire that Voltron is operational, three planets and harvested and destroyed, the toll is 13 million people.
Pt1??
I can't help but imagine that If any of the paladins (excluding Shiro) got lost then their first thought would be "what would Shiro do in this situation"
Kallura/Plance Season 8 Fanfic Challenge/Request
So with that being said, I challenge/request someone to do a Kallura/Plance fanfic take on season 8 with Keith and Allura resolving their issues with each other and develop their relationship into romance and after the final battle, Allura survives after sacrificing herself to save the universe and she and Keith getting married becoming the King & Queen of the Galra and Alteans bringing peace and prosperity to the entire universe. And on that, find a love interest for Romelle. She could be either straight, lesbian or bisexual.
