The first bout of whispering, Shiro can ignore. He’s a teacher by trade, after all. Astronaut, sure. Paladin, even. But he always expected to be a teacher, trained for it, and he knows when you put a group of teenagers in a room and expect them to start learning by lecture, there’s going to be some whispering. He’d be concerned if there wasn’t, frankly.
But as it keeps happening, again and again, to the point where it’s almost constant, Shiro begins to lose his patience.
“Lance, Hunk,” he says, catching himself long before then. He tries to smile, gentle but firm. “Everything okay?”
The two boys clam up immediately. Lance even begins to lean slightly away from Hunk, although Shiro’s not sure he notices.
Shiro frowns, puzzled at the reaction. That’s — uncommon. He’s seen embarrassed, seen sheepish, seen unbothered, even seen downright rude, but Lance looks almost… afraid. And Hunk looks at him with a lot more anxiety than the situation calls for, but Shiro is beginning to notice that that’s just Hunk.
The both mutter some semblance of apology, and Shiro moves on quickly, unwilling to dwell on the incident too long.
For the rest of the briefing, he keeps an eye on them. He’s still focused, of course, as their break-in and recon on a nearby Empire warship is not only hugely dangerous, but will also be hugely beneficial, but he lets his notes do a lot of the talking for him. He flits his eyes to the pair every so often, and while Hunk meets his eyes on occasion, smiling slightly, Lance keeps his head down, hunched over his tablet.
Shiro notices that the tablet is powered off. He doesn’t write a single note.
His shoulders are hunched up to his ears.
———
“Alright, kiddo, good job.”
Keith grins, stepping backwards and bowing to finish the fight. Shiro bows back, matching his smile.
“You did great.”
“I know,” Keith says cheekily. “You’re getting easier and easier to beat. Probably because you’re elderly.”
Shiro raises an eyebrow. “Am I.”
His annoying little brother hums, completely unconcerned. He steps off to the side and starts swinging around his training stick, very clearly showing off. “Mhm. It was super easy to fight you. I just went whoosh, smack, bam! —” he punctuates every sound with a swing and slash of the stick — “and every hit just landed. Honestly, I think a punching bag would have been more of a challenge. Adam is a way better spar partner than you. I wish I was shot into space with him.”
Shiro’s eye twitches. It’s a clear goad, he knows it is. Keith isn’t even trying to hide it. He’s a twerp with too much energy and too much experience pressing all of Shiro’s buttons — a favourite button of his, of course, being the bit of…healthy competition Shiro has always had with his boyfriend.
(He’s well aware of the irony. He hears Adam pointing and laughing in his head every time he endures Keith’s complaining about Lance pulling his mullet, so to speak. In fact keeping his mouth shut about the parallels is the only thing keeping him from throwing Keith down the laundry chute. He’s waiting for a moment when the reveal can be well and truly devastating.)
Shiro manages, with herculean strength, to step away from his turd of a brother, putting his training stick away.
“I am leaving,” he says loudly, pointedly turning away. “I said I’d train one hour with you and not a second more.”
He feels Keith’s pout more than sees it. “Coward.”
“Yeah, yeah,” Shiro snorts, waving his hand dismissively. He hears swishing sounds, and the clicks of buttons — Keith is starting up his own training. Again. “Don’t be late for dinner or I’ll send Lance after you.”
“Can’t promise I won’t maim him,” Keith mutters. “Sometimes I just want to wring his neck.”
Shiro is very familiar with that feeling. Or at least the raving about it. He used to feel great pleasure in driving Adam to that point, just because he was hot when he was mad. But Shiro values his limbs — or at least what’s left of them — where they are, so he keeps the comments to himself as he makes his way out of the training room, meandering back to his own quarters.
He takes his time showering and redressing, knowing he’s got some time before dinner. He thinks Hunk even managed to wrestle Coran out of the kitchen, which means no food goo. It also means that he’s banned from even breathing near the kitchen until the food is fully cooked and completed — which is a bullshit ban and one based in false accusations — but he’s sure he can help set the table, or something. Stir a pot. He’s good at that.
He towels off his hair, not bothering to style it, and takes his time walking over to the kitchens. The castle floors are cold under his bare feet, he finds himself wishing he had the lion slippers Lance made him. They’re very warm. He never wears them because he’s terrified of ruining them, but it’s so icy in here that he might start having to, or else he’ll freeze.
As he approaches the kitchen, he hears voices. He freezes, quieting his steps and pausing behind the wall to listen. Hopefully no one else walks by, or that will be humiliating.
“— all you have to do is ask, Lance, just casually, it’s not even —”
“— it is even, Hunk, it’s the worst and I’m not doing it, why would I inconvenience —”
“— it isn’t! Not even a little! It’s the smallest tiniest thing!”
“Hunk —”
Hunk throws his hands up in exasperation, spoon going flying and splattering some kind of blue sauce all over the cabinets. Neither of them even blinks at it.
“I am tired of watching you struggle, Leandro! Heaven forbid you ask for help!”
Shiro frowns. That’s not good. That sounds serious.
“I asked for help,” Lance huffs, arms crossed over his chest. “I asked you, didn’t I?”
“I don’t count and you know it,” Hunk says sharply, mirroring him. “I already knew.”
Lance looks away, clenching his jaw. His fingers are tangled in his jacket’s sleeve, tense.
“You don’t have to help anymore if it’s too hard,” he mumbles. “I can handle it myself.”
Hunk softens. “It’s not that, Lance.” He wipes his hands in his apron and pulls Lance to his chest. Lance goes, although he doesn’t move his arms, burying his face in Hunk’s shoulder. “You know it’s not that. If that’s all we have then I’ll keep doing it, damn the consequences.” He pulls back slightly, nudging Lance back so he can look him in the face. “You can just do better, dude. All you gotta do is tell Shiro about your —”
A hand claps over Hunk’s mouth, cutting him off, and Lance squeaks, “Hey, Shiro, hello, hi!”
Shiro startles. He scrambles upright before Hunk turns all the way, so at least he’s only seen crouching by the door like a weirdo by one person.
He clears his throat. “Uh, hi.”
“You’re banned from the kitchen,” Hunk says, muffled. How he looks so mighty and dignified with Lance’s hands still very much pressed to his face is well and truly beyond him. Shiro is frankly awed.
“I just came to help set the table,” he assures, hands held up in surrender. “Promise I’ll stay away from the actual food.”
Hunk narrows his eyes, but must decide he could use the help, because he nods, stepping backwards so Lance’s hands fall back down.
“Alright,” he sighs. “I’m making stew. You can set out utensils if you must but know I’ll judge you heavily for it. Lance, come help me finish up.”
Lance scrambles after him, avoiding Shiro’s gaze like he’s sure he’s going to get yelled at. Shiro watches him go, perplexed.
———
The next few days are, for the most part, manageable. Their mission goes well, Keith is surprisingly mellow — Shiro suspects the little nerd has discovered a library of some kind — and distress calls are minimal. All in all, Shiro should be taking the time as the blessing it is and catching up on some much needed R&R.
Instead, he’s worrying about the Blue Paladin.
Shiro can’t say he knows him well. They’ve hardly been in space a couple of months, after all, and while Shiro must have taught him a couple times — he was in the piloting program so it’s almost impossible that they didn’t cross paths — the Garrison is huge, and Shiro largely teachers younger students. Shiro can’t recall teaching a Lance, anyway.
But he can tell something’s off.
Besides the fact that Hunk keeps looking at Lance with concern, the Cuban seems…withdrawn, almost. He still works hard in training and smokes them in any kind of long distance, but there doesn’t seem to be any joy in it. Even his arguments with Keith seem halfhearted, which Keith will never admit leave him agitated as much as it has Shiro’s eyebrows raising. Shiro is sure, basically, that something is the matter, and surer still that he has to be the one to fix it.
How exactly he should go about it…well, that’s the part he’s struggling with. He knows Lance is kind of star-eyed around him, even though they’re on the same playing field, so Shiro’s not sure just regular talking to him about it is going to do something. And he seemed pretty resistant when Hunk pressed, in the conversation Shiro overheard. He’s just not sure what to do.
Luckily, the situation starts to resolve itself.
“Hey, Shiro, can I talk to you?” Lance mumbles into his breakfast, as everyone else is distracted by Pidge and Keith’s loud argument about cryptids (Shiro has heard it too many times at this point. He’s tuned it out).
Shiro blinks. “Sure,” he says, trying to keep the shock out of his voice. “Now?”
“Uh, after we eat, maybe.”
Shiro tries very hard not to seem over enthusiastic. He sucks at that, so it doesn’t work, and it seems to make Lance more stressed, which only stresses Shiro out more. By the time everyone has finished up and people are starting to file out to various tasks, the tension between them is so thick Shiro feels as if he might suffocate.
Suddenly, as if he propelled himself, Lance springs to his feet, snatching his bowl and Shiro’s and powerwalking towards the kitchen sink. Shiro, startled, follows him.
“You okay?” Shiro asks softly, noticing the whiteness of Lance’s knuckles, clenched around a sponge, and the robotic way he scrubs it across a dirty spoon.
Lance says nothing. He keeps his eyes trained resolutely on the soapy water, spine ramrod straight, nerves bleeding from him in waves.
Hesitantly, Shiro rolls up his sleeves, standing beside him and beginning to dry what he rinses. As Shiro gets close he gets tenser, shoulders hiked up to his ears, but as the minutes drag on, empty kitchen echoing the sound of swishing water and clanking cutlery, he begins to calm down. Shiro watches his face relax, easing its worries twist, and terror fade from his brown eyes.
He hands Shiro the last clean dish to dry, then pulls the plug on the sink, darting over to grab a hand towel and starting to dry.
“Can you write mission plans in pink?”
The words rush out of him, like he’d been holding them between his teeth for God knows how long and they’d finally spilled out. He looks almost nauseous after he says them.
Shiro blinks. That was…not what he’d expected.
“…Why?”
“It’s perfectly okay if you can’t,” Lance continues, as if Shiro had not spoken. “I mean, whatever. I’ll figure it out. I’ve gone without this long, after all, and it’s totally doable. Of course there’s the migraines and the agony but that’s all light work. It’s war, after all. Ha.” He chuckles nervously.
He’s shrunk in on himself, looking almost small. Shiro stares at him with a dropped jaw and wide eyes. Lance doesn’t even notice, eyes focused intensely on the hand towel, breathing worryingly erratic.
“I just swore to Hunk that I’d ask, you know. He said it wouldn’t hurt. And of course it wouldn’t but I don’t need it. It’s just. You know.”
Shiro cannot stress enough how much he doesn’t know. He hasn’t felt this lost in a while.
“Pink makes the letters stick to the page. And I know that sounds stupid as shit and that’s because it is stupid as shit, unfortunately. Dyslexia is the dumbest thing in the world, actually. And who named it that? You know how hard that word is to spell? It’s hard. They should have called it — I dunno, I just mean, it’s whatever. It’s fine. I’ve handled it this long. Uh.” He looks up, finally, and maybe he doesn’t know how to make sense of Shiro’s expression, because he winces, shame overtaking his face. He sets down the towel and gestures vaguely behind him, stepping towards the door. “I’m just gonna — go. Sorry. See you later. Sorry.”
He all but flees out of the room. Shiro barely manages to snag the back of his hoodie, holding him in place.
“Lance. Chill a second. Give me time to respond.”
Lance looks deploringly at the door, then back at Shiro. He looks like he’s accepting his death. Shiro can’t help but feel the teensiest bit offended.
“I’m not going to bite you,” he says, aghast. “Jesus, kid. You’re going to give me a complex.”
To Shiro’s great relief, the remark makes Lance grin. Some of the tension eases from his face.
“You sound like my mother.”
“From what I’ve heard, that’s a compliment,” Shiro says lightly. He pulls out two chairs, orienting them so they’re facing each other. He deliberately takes the one farthest from the door, so Lance doesn’t feel trapped. He gestures to the other one. “Sit.”
Lance does.
“Now. From the beginning and with a little less fear, hopefully. Tell me what’s up, kiddo.”
Lance looks down at his hands, where he’s picking at a scar on his wrist.
“Um. So. I have dyslexia. I can’t read too well.”
Lance cringes as he says it. Shiro wonders who he has to kill for putting the idea that this is something to be ashamed about in his head.
“Cool,” Shiro says, as encouragingly as he can manage. “The main character of my favourite book series as a kid had dyslexia. I was jealous of everyone who had it. I used to pray for it.”
The revelation startles a laugh out of Lance, like Shiro hoped it would. The tension melts right off of him.
“You prayed?”
“Every night,” Shiro affirms, grinning. “I even crossed my eyes and pretended when it didn’t work. My mother didn’t believe me for a second.”
“You’re a dweeb,” Lance says, sounding kind of awed. Like he’s shocked that Shiro, too, is a nerd loser on this castle full of other nerd losers. “Dyslexia sucks.”
Letting his face settle into something more serious, Shiro nods. “I imagine it does.” He reaches over and squeezes Lance’s hand, subtly stopping him from picking at the skin. Keith has the same bad habit. “Writing in pink helps?”
Lance shrugs. “Sorta. Dunno why. But things are less squiggly when they’re written in pink or red. Not perfect, but it’s something. I can hardly read at all when they’re in black; it’s like my eyes are spinning out of my head trying to focus on ‘em. Gives me migraines like you would not imagine.”
“And thus Hunk whispering the plans to you so you don’t have to read them,” Shiro surmises, the whispering during briefings suddenly making sense. Guilt twinges in his belly.
“Yeah. Sorry about that, by the way. Didn’t mean to be rude.”
“Of course not,” Shiro says gently. “I get it now. Sorry for not understanding.” He frowns, remembering something. “I should’ve asked beforehand. Or suspected something, or known better, really. I had a kid a few years back in one of my astronomy courses. Li-something. I marked all his stuff in red for the same reasons.”
Lance makes a very particular face. Warning bells go off in Shiro’s head.
“I appreciated that very much,” Lance says politely.
It takes a moment for it to click.
Shiro considers banging his head against the table.
“Please tell me no,” he begs, ears reddening.
“It was a great honour to be renamed by the Takashi Shirogane,” Lance insists.
“I had you in my class for three years!” Shiro says, aghast. “I — I called you Li all the time! In front of people!”
“I didn’t want to correct you! That’s — embarrassing!”
Shiro cradles his head in his hands. Dear God. He knows he’s not great with names, but — Jesus. To rename a kid. Blatantly. Other teachers must have thought he was some cruel jackass.
“I think there was a Li McKinney ahead of me in roll call,” Lance offers, patting Shiro’s back delicately. “So. Pretty easy to mess up.”
“Did you write your name as Li on tests? And assignments?”
“After the first couple times, yeah. Hunk laughed at me. At a certain point I’d just dug myself too deep, I think.”
Shiro sighs, dragging his hand down his face. It’s still quite hot. He looks up at Lance, who’s mouth is twitching.
“You were short as shit back then,” he observes, trying to picture the kid in his class. “Like, shorter than Pidge.”
Lance scowls. “I was — saving up on growth spurts. Yeah. So. Purge that from your memory.” He smirks. “Like my name.”
Shiro groans. “I’m never hearing the end of that, am I.”
Lance smiles. “Probably not. I didn’t know you were uncool. It’s interesting. I’m seeing you in a whole new light.”
Shiro rolls his eyes, but reaches over to mess with Lance’s hair, like he would Keith. Unlike Keith, Lance freaks out way harder, screeching something about hard work and artistic expression.
He smiles. “Glad you came to talk to me, kid.”
Lance sticks out his tongue, but he looks pleased, too. “Yeah, yeah.”

Keith flushed the moment Shiro explained the situation. "O-oh..."
He moved closer and reached out to place a hand against his boyfriend's chest. "You know... if you want me, you could just tell me...?"
His flush deepened. "I mean, I get moods like that all the time when I think about the times when we've...."
"I... I'm..."
Shiro sighed.
"In the mood," he mumbled, a flush visible on his cheeks. "Don't worry about me. I just... my body decides it wants... things, sometimes, and it's... usually when I think about you."

hey there!!! could you make headcanons for all the Voltron guys for when they realize that (she/her) reader is like actually someone they could date/ end up with? like they get turned on by something she did or something like that? you don't have to but thanks for reading anyway </3
Tumblr media
Voltron Paladins realizing Reader is someone they could end up with!
req: yes words: 873 pairing: voltron x reader content: fluff a/n: I was actually planning on writing something similar so thanks for the ask anon! <3
Tumblr media
Keith
Keith isn’t interested in love (until he realizes he can date you) BUT FOR THE MOMENT HE’S NOT!
Both of you are still determining when you got close as well. You protected him once in battle, and since then, you’ve just stuck together.
And he of course protects you when he can because he's grateful you saved his life.
So you guys became friends,,, that was news to Lance btw.
Slowly you let each other into your lives, and now you train together often.
You were never ‘better’ than him at fighting (you actually just made yourself lose sometimes) and Keith sometimes ‘lost’ to make you just a little happy (little did he know hehe)
But today? Oh, you weren’t playing that’s for sure. He was super confused at first, then he was impressed, and then he was turned on. Which is fair because you looked straight out of a magazine, the ‘hot’ sweaty and perfectly messy hair.
When did you get so hot?
And boom. He felt he was on earth again because realization hit him like a TRAIN.
You were his age, and you were hot, and you could totally be a thing. And wtf is wrong with Keith? He's never thought of you like this.
Yeah, so that’s that.
And then he gets all awkward around you, and you guys haven't had a training session together since then. He always conveniently has something to do when you try to ask him.
Goddamnit.
Lance
You’ve been friends with him since the good old garrison days.
You grew to like the dork’s presence
You’ve always known he’s flirty, that’s just Lance.
Getting you flowers (sometimes), flirting with you in the hallways, and even when you’re fighting with the galra.
You always rolled your eyes, scoffed at him, or brushed him off but today?
Violence
You were so ready to mess with him too
You woke up with mischief on your mind
And mischief you created
BECAUSE BECAUSE BECAUSE
OK SO
Lance was flirting with you while fighting the galra
And he expected you to react normally but nooooo
You flirted back
AND THEN YOU WINK AT HIM
SHOOT A GALRA SOLDIER
AND LEAVE !???!!?!!!?!?!?!!?!?
Lance MALFUNCTIONS
Like lance.exe has STOPPED working
DECEASED
Keith’s snickering in the background! (And Shiro too but he won’t admit that, for Lance’s sake)
“Shut it.” is all Lance says for like 10 minutes
You’re hot, He’s hot, and you guys could end up together
You’re a woman now
And you could have him ENTIRELY at his knees.
Hunk
Hunk misses earth
So much
He stops talking as much and wanders around the castle
He didn't think anyone noticed
But you did
And you felt SO bad for him
So when you stop at the mall to get teleduv lenses you seek away
And get the closest possible ingredients to make his favorite treat
Ice cream sandwiches (real)
You’re testing weird white heavy cream adjacent substances and so much more all for him
You might get sick
Oh well
You sneak back and he gives you a weird “Where were you?” look,
But you just ignore
And then you slave away in the kitchen and finally end up with something that’s ice cream sandwich adjacent 
“What’re you making?”
“Ice cream sandwiches”
“Oh for the team? You should have let me help”
“No”
Confused hunk
“It’s just for us” and you hold up an ice cream sandwich for him
His face LIGHTS up and he gladly accepts it
Then you guys sit on the floor and just talk about life and how both of you feel
All night.
It's freaking adorable
He realises how much he adores you, and how he absolutely loves you and all of your little quirks
It doesn’t even matter when the ice cream starts melting, he’d much rather focus on you and talk. Only occasionally taking bites when you do
Pidge
Pidge always knew you were datable
And an amazing person
But she started falling for you when the paladins were trying to tell her to not go find Matt
You stepped in a stood up for her, gaining Shiro’s support.
And then when she was ready to leave she saw you putting your stuff into your lion
“You don’t think I’ll leave you alone, do you?”
She knows it’s because someone will need to be there for her in case Matt is gone
But she doesn’t complain
It’s a silent brewing of love and appreciation
And she’s so grateful to have you in her life
Shiro
When Keith was confused and stuck without Shiro, you stepped up and found him
He was surprised at first
But you took care of him and helped him out as he got better
You were there for him to lean on. Always.
Literally and figuratively 
His appreciation turned into adoration and then his adoration turned into pure, genuine love
Once he was fully healthy again
He’d try to pay it back to you
By protecting you when you went against any threats
ESPECIALLY when you were out of your lion
And then it just becomes a thing where you protect each other
It’s adorable
He loves you and he protects you
And vice versa
Adorable, I say.

this fic gives me heartburn
While Blue easily acquiesced to letting Lance fly her, Black and Red were different altogether. Red grumbled at Keith and literally turned her back on him in petulance, while Black refused to acknowledge Shiro at all. “This might not work,” Keith said. “You think?” Allura said, flat out sarcastic. “Maybe we're shuffling too many Lions,” Shiro said where he stood before an unresponsive Black. He was in Paladin armor, but where theirs was color-coded according to their lions, Shiro's was the reverse of Keith's. All the white was black, and the colored parts were white, thanks to Coran. Shiro had been ecstatic to match Keith, the dork. From behind Red, Keith turned to him, frowning. “What do you mean?” Keith asked him. “Blue is the only one who needs a pilot,” Shiro said. “Let me try to fly her instead. That way, Red can keep Lance, and Black can keep you.” “But you've never piloted any Lion except Black,” Keith said. Shiro countered, “We can at least try, can't we?” “You're right,” Keith said. He tapped at his helmet. “Lance, bring her in. We're going to try something different.” “Aw, but she's such a sweetheart!” Lance complained. “Red can probably hear you and she's not going to like that,” Keith warned him. “Whoops,” Lance said. “Sorry, Red! I love you! You're the love of my life, okay?” Keith went stiff. Once, Lance had teasingly called him Red. Just once. And yet it was like Keith had instantly developed a Pavlovian response. He closed his eyes and reminded himself that those words were not for him. “Just bring Blue in, Lance,” Keith said quietly. “Sure thing, bossman.” They tried again. And when Shiro asked Blue to let him pilot her, she opened up. “She really is a sweetheart,” Shiro said through the comms from within Blue. Allura made a noise and Keith glanced at her. Shiro had taken Allura's bayard from Lance, and Keith could see how she flexed her hand like she was attempting to summon it. In her other hand was a staff she had retrieved from the armory. She seemed very put out about handing over Blue a second time. There was a furrow in her brow as she looked longingly at Blue. “Take her out,” Keith directed Shiro. “See how you handle her.” “Sure thing, boss,” Shiro chuckled. Keith sighed. He got off the comm and turned to Allura. He said, “Don't worry, it's just temporary. You'll get her back.” At his words, her Altean marks brightened and she huffed a little. “I wasn't worried,” she lied. “We should go watch from the bridge.” Then she turned and made her way to the elevator. Keith shook his head and followed, Lance hopping to after them. Shiro did very well piloting. He had always been good. It was why everyone in his class had hero-worshiped him. But then came the real test. “Alright, team,” Keith said into his helmet. “In your Lions. We're going to try and form Voltron.”

𖹭 ESPRESSO LOVE by shirohcsbecausewhythehellnot [ONESHOT] [5.7K]

𖹭* FAVOR | RETURNING THE FAVOR by savetheblackpaladin [HEADCANONS]

𖹭* I’M YOURS by shirohcsbecausewhythehellnot [ONESHOT] [4.6K]
⇢ At a fancy gala, Shiro’s girlfriend finds herself stuck dealing with a flirty higher-up whose support the Coalition desperately needs. She’s torn—play nice for diplomacy’s sake or shut it down because, well, she has a boyfriend. Meanwhile, Shiro is not having it. Protective and a little possessive, he makes it very clear she’s taken—without blowing their mission.

𖹭 JEALOS ORBIT by savetheblackpaladine [ONESHOT] [1.5K]

⇢ “…Why did you throw confetti in my face?”
𖹭 MISSION: FLUSTER SHIRO by savetheblackpaladin [ONESHOT] [1.2K]

⇢ Your Tokyo summer is spent knee-deep in dirt, sweat, and neighborly favors, but the surprise arrival of one very charming son might just make it all worthwhile.
𖹭 NURSE SHIRO by shirohcsbecausewhythehellnot [ONESHOT] [1.3K]
⇢ You get sick after a freezing mission gone wrong, and Shiro insists on playing nurse—even if that means sneaking in Hunk’s soup and risking a few forehead kisses.

𖹭 ONCE PRISONERS | PT.2 | PT.3 by avengerdragoness [MULTI-PART] [4.9K]

𖹭 OVERWORKED by dive-bombing-owls [DRABBLE] [0.8K]
⇢ You always had trouble remembering to take care of yourself. You’d get so caught up in whatever you were doing, you’d neglect your basic needs. However, you’d never let the Paladins know this, much less Shiro.
𖹭 PLEASE. JUST ONE PULSE by avengerdragoness [ONESHOT] [1.5K]
⇢ Going alone to save Pidge’s family, you face a dangerous Galra ship with no backup and a broken comm. Trapped, wounded, and racing against time, you fight to complete your mission—and survive. Meanwhile, Shiro struggles to hold on to hope as the stakes get higher than ever.

⇢ You have a nightmare. Shiro is there to lift your mood :)
𖹭 SHIRO IN RETAIL by savetheblackpaladin [HEADCANONS]
𖹭 SPARRING MATCH by avengerdragoness [ONESHOT] [1.1K]
⇢ Tired of always losing to Shiro, you secretly train with Keith to finally prove yourself. After weeks of early mornings and bruises, you take Shiro down in a spar—and his heart all over again. Keith’s proud. Also mildly scarred.
𖹭 SPARRING MATCH by shirohcsbecausewhythehellnot [ONESHOT] [1.8K]

𖹭 STAY AWAKE by shirohcsbecausewhythehellnot [ONESHOT] [2.2K]
⇢ What was supposed to be an easy mission goes wrong fast. You and Shiro get trapped, outnumbered, and you end up seriously hurt. With no other choice, Shiro uses his arm to save you. Things get scary, but in the end, you pull through and wake up to him still right there, holding on.

𖹭 THE EXPEDITION | PT.2 | PT.3 | PT.4 | PT.5 | PT.6 | PT.7 by asian-hero [SERIES] [10.9K]
⇢ You just wanted to pay rent. Instead, you’re leading a ragtag team of disasters, dodging questionable alliances, and maybe regretting every life decision that got you here. NOTE: Sadly it’s not finished :( but it’s so worth the reading!
𖹭 THE BLANKET THEIF by asian-hero [DRABBLE] [0.5K]

⇢ “I need you to make out with me. Don’t worry though, it’s for science.”
𖹭 TO THEIR AMUSEMENT by yeehawvoltronfanfics [ONESHOT] [1.1K]
⇢ You weren’t stupid, you knew the famous hero “Kuron” who stopped crime everyday and defeated the top tier villains, was your sweet everyday high schooler Shiro, simply because seeing him jump from a alleyway in a superhero costume was enough proof for you. And you weren’t stupid enough to have a small little crush on him. Maybe….maybe you were.

𖹭 WORTH WAITING FOR by shirohcsbecausewhythehellnot [ONESHOT] [3.5K]
⇢ You and Shiro dated before Kerberos but after they found him, he decided to break things off. Cut to three months later, you made a risky move during a mission and Shiro is pissed. You are forced to talk it out.

Hey Katie! What are ur fav and least favourite bits of law school? Also which of the vld gang do u think would become lawyers, I could see allura, lance and maybe shiro
Hope u have a good day!!!! no pressure to answer this if u don't feel like it <33333
you're a sweetheart anon. i'm always happen to (slowly) answer questions about law school, especially people who are considering applying :)
Favorite parts of law school:
I'm going to be real with you guys, I am a dork-ass nerd who enjoys spending hours studying and reading so law school is like heaven for me lol
I just really enjoy being a law student. I like that I'm tangibly working towards my lifelong goal of becoming a lawyer. I like that the material I'm learning is really challenging, because I enjoy the challenge and putting in the effort to really learn and understand something.
This is less law school-specific, but I really love living as an independent adult in the city, with all the perks that come with being a graduate student. Between my social life and academic life, this is the most functional I have ever been lmao
Least favorite parts:
The networking events. God. Both the professional networking events and the law school body events. I hate being a person who is perceived and I also hate drinking around strangers. Fortunately I don't have to go to that many mixers because those events are more for big law/corporate law people, whereas I'm in public interest. But sometimes I force myself to go because it is a really good idea to meet other established lawyers in my field, especially as I start thinking about post-grad jobs. it always sucks though. I met the highest-ranked judges in my state the other day, which was cool
Job-Hunting. It feels like I am always job-hunting. I am applying right now for internships for NEXT SUMMER. I have sent out so many cover letters. I have scheduled so many interviews. Fortunately I've discovered that I actually like interviews and I'm apparently insanely great at them, I think law school has turned me into a sociopath.
I am so stressed all the time omfg. The worst part is that a lot of this stress is my own damn fault (I do way too many things lmfao) but I have SO MANY white hairs now whyyyyyyyyyyy :sobs: :sobs: (narrator voice: she did this to herself)
--
Re: the Voltron cast. Allura is definitely the most clear-cut choice for who would become a lawyer. I can see Lance and Shiro leaning towards careers in law as well, but I have no idea what kind of law they would practice lol. I also think Veronica and Nadia would make great lawyers. And my final dark horse nomination: I can see Shay practicing environmental law.

Teenagers...
Here are some headcanons based off the requests sent in by @the-letter-horror-lover! I noticed some similarities and (because I no longer write for OCs), thought I'd be able to combine them into one, more general post. If anyone wants to read the original requests, I've linked them below. I hope you like the requests!
Yuki Okumura | Sakura Okumura | Mikoto Okumura | Mira Okumura | Yuzu Okumura | Carl Okumura | Karin Okumura
Characters: Shiro Fujimoto, Rin Okumura, Yukio Okumura, Ryūjj Suguro, Renzō Shima, Konekomaru Miwa, Shiemi Moriyama, Izumo Kamiki, Kuro, Shura Kirigakure, Mephisto Pheles (separate)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How do the Blue Exorcist characters interact with teenagers?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tumblr media
Shiro really appreciates a hardworking teenager. He likes to see that the next generation is being raised right.
In the same manner, he also has a lot of respect for kind teens. He holds Rin and Yukio as the standard so is always impressed when others meet his high expectations.
He does get worried when he sees teenage exorcists working on dangerous missions. In his eyes, that’s an adult’s job. They should be keeping kids off the front line for as long as possible.
Impulsive teenagers get on his nerves but only because they remind him a lot of himself when he was younger.
Tumblr media
Rin has an unexpected soft spot for teenagers who are bookworms. He might call them dorks or nerds but they remind him a lot of Yukio.
He also has a lot of admiration for brave teens. He sometimes takes bravery for granted since that’s how he acts a lot of the time but when he notices it, he’ll make comment.
In the same manner, he really resonates with teenagers who are optimistic. He knows first-hand how difficult it can be to stay positive all the time and he appreciates their dedication.
He definitely has a thing for drums and would love being friends with someone who plays. He might hound them to teach him though so they’d better beware.
Tumblr media
Yukio gets along well with teens who are intelligent like himself. He enjoys having deep, meaningful conversations about a wide range of topics.
Troublemaking teens grate on his nerves to no end. They remind him too much of Rin and he’s only got it in him to deal with one person like that.
Authoritative teenagers are a bit hit or miss with Yukio. He admires them for taking the initiative but only if they aren’t contradicting his own authority.
If there’s any teenager out there going through the process of healing trauma, it’s Yukio so he’s got a lot of empathy towards anyone in a similar position.
Tumblr media
Bon definitely has old man syndrome so down-to-earth teenagers astonish him. There are people like that?
In a similar manner, teens who show common sense amaze him. He’s been around Rin too long and now even the most basic display of common sense is a breath of fresh air.
Hard working teenagers are people Bon can relate to. Ironically, he still won’t really interact with them a whole lot since they’re both so focused on their own projects and goals.
Bon holds a lot of admiration for teenagers who are determined. Sure, he might butt heads with them at times but he appreciates their conviction.
Tumblr media
Shima and any teenager who likes pranks is a deadly combination. They’re just on the same wave of thought and where things go from there, only they know.
He also gets along really well with sociable teens since he’s quite social himself. If the teen is too social though, his battery will deplete pretty quickly.
Definitely the kind of guy who wants to get a skateboarding group together so he’d love getting to know teenagers who like skateboarding.
Teenagers who like collecting things confuse Shima a bit since he doesn’t really get the appeal of collections. But he does find it interesting in a disconnected kind of way.
Tumblr media
Much like Yukio, Miwa gets along well with teenagers who are intelligent. He finds he’s able to connect more with them.
He also really likes teens who are bookworms. Miwa loves talking to them about their favourite books, whether they’re fiction or academic.
Maturity is a trait a lot of Miwa’s friends have in abundance so when it comes to other teenagers, it’s something he subconsciously looks for.
Brave teenagers amaze Miwa. He holds nothing but respect (and a bit of envy) for them since bravery is something he struggles with.
Tumblr media
Shiemi surrounds herself with determined teenagers to help encourage her own determination. She finds it an admirable trait to have.
She really admires teenagers who are particularly empathetic. She knows it can be hard to treat others that way all the time so she thinks it’s a praise worthy skill.
In a similar manner, kind teenagers have her admiration and they’re people she wants to get to know better. They’re people she can relate to.
Any teenagers who work on dangerous missions have Shiemi’s sympathy. Especially if they’re younger than her, she thinks it’s unfair they have to take on such risks.
Tumblr media
Mean teenagers are people Izumo can’t stand. But at the same time, she can’t really call them out on any behaviour considering her own personality.
In a very similar manner, teenagers who are in the process of healing past traumas have her empathy. She knows what they’re going through and feels for them.
Hard working teenagers are people she can admire, especially if they’re working towards a similar goal to Izumo. She likes being around people like that since it encourages her as well.
On the other hand, she finds down-to-earth teens pretentious. She knows they’re just trying to be the best they can be but she finds it annoying.
Tumblr media
Impulsive teenagers are her punishment for what she was like at that age, right? The irritation and concern is exactly how Shiro felt, she just knows it…
Teenagers who are protective of each other and those younger than them have Shura’s heart. They’re the kind of people she hopes will be in charge in the future.
Much like impulsivity, teenagers who enjoy skateboarding stress Shura out a bit, especially if they’re on the younger side. If they’re older, she wouldn’t mind joining them though.
Out-spoken teens have Shura’s admiration, as long as they’re not speaking against her. If that’s the case, they’re the most annoying child she’s ever come across. And remind her a bit too much of herself.
Tumblr media
Kuro has a penchant for collecting things himself so teenagers (and anyone really) who also like collecting things are good people in his eyes.
Artistic teenagers amaze Kuro. He’s going to watch in silent fascination while they work and then jump about, singing their praise when they’re finished.
Loves running alongside skateboards. He finds it fun, as well as good training. If the teen tries putting him on the skateboard though, Kuro’s not going to be having a great time.
Much like Rin, Kuro likes drums and would enjoy being around teens who play. He enjoys jumping around to the beat, especially if it’s loud enough that he can feel it reverberating in his chest.
Tumblr media
Helpful teenagers immediately peak Mephisto’s attention. They’re people he can use, especially if he plays his cards right.
Teenagers who are particularly strong also catch his attention but more in the “ooh, I can’t wait to see what you do” kind of way. He finds them intriguing.
Good actors put Mephisto on guard. He’s fairly confident in his ability to see through any lies but he’s always got to be careful with these ones.
Prankster teenagers are possibly Mephisto’s favourites, if only because they make life fun. Even when the pranks are directed at him, he can’t help but admire the skill that went into them (not to mention the guts to pull a prank on the demon King of Time).

Watching Voltron for the 1st Time: S6 Ep. 1-3
Oh brother. Oh dawg. Oh my fucking god. We've really reached this point in time. If you're stumbling across this and thinking to yourself "What on earth possessed you to take this cross upon your shoulders?" This is the epic backstory in a longass post. If you don't want to read that, I tutor a kid, kid likes this show, I said I'd check it out, kid got really excited. Also, now that I've sunk too much life into this fresh pile of shit, I need to see it through to the end. Cannot BELIEVE we're six seasons in bro.
Fine. Okay. Sure
Lance and I are on the same page abt Lotor
Sure let's learn about the Galra whatever this is an acceptable exposition form of things
FINALLY LEARNED WHAT VREPIT SA MEANS
They really could've set up this Shiro Is Compromised bit much better but I am happy they've finally remembered they have to keep it going. Which presumably means it'll be resolved soon enough bc I don't think they have forethought skills on the level of consistent foreshadowing more than like. Half an episode.
Keith's hot mom omfg I'm giggling and kicking my feet and shit Keith shut up and do what she tells you
WOW the abyss is beautiful. It's gorgeous. Again, these artists man. They've really cooked up some of the most gorgeous visuals in service of MID.
Oh cool Shiro and Keith are going to fight.
KROLIA IS MOTHERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR waow
Whales in space bro. I fuck w it.
Choosing to believe that this yeehaw rootin of tootin man with an eyebrow slit was the one pregnant with Keith
I actually kinda like these flashbacks but they are still SO reliant on just telling us shit in it.
DOG SPACE DOG FLUFFY CUTE LIL SPACE DOG OH YES FABULOUS GIMME EIGHTY MILLION OF THEM WITH THIS TIME PASSING MONTAGE OH AND IT TELEPORTS OH DEUX EX PUPPY I LOVE YOU
Also lmfao they aged Keith up now they can Korrasami ending homo him with literally any of the guys in the cast no problem (if they do this it is LAZY writing)
Yay! D&D!
SHIRO JUST PLAYING HIMSELF IN D&D BITCH I KNOW YOUR TYPE OF PLAYER I KNOW WHAT TF YOU ARE love his lil tiara I LOVE HIM YOU FUCKING DORK
"I'm going to be a Paladin again" CRYING HE'S SUCH A NERD I WANNA SHOVE HIM IN A LOCKER AND GIVE HIM A HUG
Lance is a FURRY???????
PLEASE HOW MANY TIMES IS SHIRO GOING TO DIE (in D&D and fr in the show)
"I wanna be a Paladin again" DAMN RIGHT U DO BABY
New Heights Of Skill Issue
If they'd made Lotor seem even VAGUELY trustworthy these episodes would work much better
Again I CANNOT believe that this show sets up the fact that Voltron is acting at the behest of Lotor and NEVER explores it. Lotor is set up to be a fascie-lite colonial wannabe! They're working for the fucking ruler of this horrible empire when he's made NO real reform efforts! They've become a symbol for HIM too and the show does NOTHING with that and like. WHY????????? WHY NOT
That's Not How Welding Works I'm Not Even GOOD At Welding And I Can Tell You That
Allura is Jesus and she will die for our sins ig but also I'm PISSED at this show for what they've done to her so she can be with Lance man FOR FUCKING WHYYYYYY
Just because you've letting Keith's hot mom do the exposition doesn't mean I'm going to forget you're doing a LOT of exposition
KROLIA UR MAN IS MY WORST ENEMY
JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE DOING IT WITH MY HOT ALIEN QUEEN DOESN'T MEAN I FORGIVE COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF EXPOSITION THROUGH FLASHBACK
ALSO THAT MAN??? MID. KROLIA PLEASE JUST GIVE ME ONE CHANCE ONE SINGULAR CHANCE
They're telling us Lance has never really liked someone that she's not like any other girl and like. YOU COULD'VE SHOWN US
Lance has Miami Cuban Energy [derogatory] in this episode (and yes before you get mad on my ass I am hispanic and no you don't get more details than that. Trust I know the Miami Cuban energy WELL and I have earned my ability to poke fun at them)
I'm just kinda annoyed at how much they've relied on TELLING us everything about Lance. HE'S OUR AUDIENCE STAND-IN! HE IS US! WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT HIM !!!!
Micexposition is STILL not forgivable to me
Do I think a D&D episode is a good use of our time when this season has six episodes, none character, and left exposition? No. But I like D&D so ig whatever
I'm screaming WE GET D&D EXPOSITION? WE NEED EXPOSITION TO FUCKING PLAY DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS? I COULD MAKE A BETTER D&D CAMPAIGN WITH THE CONCEPT OF THIS SHOW THAN THEY CAN MAKE A SILLY LITTLE D&D EPISODE IM SO
Lance is a FURRY???????
This was a massive waste of time but oh well I had a good time
THE SCIENCE TECHNOBABBLE IN THIS SHOW PISSES ME OFF SM FR GUYS I'M SO
Guys this show is so dumb. SOOOOOO dumb. But I do really like D&D. Dearly. Anyway let's discuss the Implications.
If, say, a competent, patient, and unskillissued writer were to look at Voltron, the easiest and by far smartest way to handle "Voltron aligns with Lotor" would be to have them interact with a previously subjugated planet rebelling from the empire. Have Voltron split off from Lotor who is doing some weird emperor shit, have Voltron go check it out, and have the locals respond VERY NEGATIVELY to Voltron because, well, they're with Lotor!
Have Voltron really get to grips with what they're coming to represent! Have them have to realize from the people they used to really help that they've become a symbol of the status quo of subjugation! The Omega Shield episode was such a waste of time bc it's highly conciliatory to the Galra.
When Lotor said "That's one of our labor planets" IT SHOULD'VE BEEN POINTED OUT THAT THEY CANONICALLY HAVE LABOR CAMPS! FOR PRISONERS!
Allura has been so nerfed to make her Need Lance and Lance has just been shuffled off into "Makes snarky comments at Lotor and mopes over Allura" territory (one of those is needed bc Lotor sorely needs someone to punch him) which sucks because again, I cannot stress enough, he's the audience character. We are supposed to get him. He is supposed to be our character.
Idk. Keith is just there now he's honestly kinda dead to me bc my loyalties are solely to his hot mom, but ig they aged him up bc they can't decide what to do with him. Which. Clearly. We can tell bub. I am intrigued by them finding Even More Alteans like sure what the hell why not but also let's get a GRIP bro and let's put ourselves together. The inevitable Shiro fight is happening this season because these writers can't fucking plan for more than 2 seconds without just doing it anyway.
The main thing I liked from this is just that Shiro really is a massive dork and he's a big nerd and I want to shove him in a locker or shove his head in a toilet or something wow he's adorable. Love him. I think it's a shame they haven't bothered to do too much with him on the whole in the way I think it's a shame they haven't bothered to do much with Keith the whole time. The only established interpersonal connection on this show and they've really squandered it by NOT HAVING ANYTHING HAPPEN.
We shall debrief at the end of this season which I intend to finish TODAY.

I like to think that bar Shiro, who already knows him too well, the team wildly oscillates between thinking Keith is so unbelievably cool that he can't be real to knowing that Keith is probably one of the biggest dorks on the ship. Like Keith will make his way through sentries with his acrobatic brawling and sword fighting and the team will be like holy shit when did you get the time to learn to do something that fucking cool omg
Then five minutes later on the journey back they find out that Keith used to willingly have his lunch stolen cause a kid told him would be a bad person if he didn't and that he always gave it over, not cause he thought he'd be a bad person if he didn't, but cause he honestly didn't like that part of his lunch and thought it was a really weird persuasion technique ("I would've given them it even if they just asked normally anyway") but was then more affronted when the kid later said he'd always thought Keith's eyes were green ("my eyes are noticeably the opposite of green. Like people literally used to pick on me for not having a normal eye colour and this kid thinks my eyes are fucking green") and the team suddenly remember that he's not above being a loser like them

Lance with 5 o’ Clock shadow 😱?????
They have a meeting in the bridge and Lance forgot to shave so Keith is just staring at him the entire time not listening to anything the others say
Keith, internally: oh quiznak quiznak quiznak quiznak please universe consume me whole I am about to crumble into nothing I want him please just—
Lance: what are you staring at?
Keith: shut up.
AND THEN WHEN KEITH GETS HURT??
Lance: *pulls Keith into a tight hug* don’t do that again.
Keith: AAAAAAA SHIT HIS FACE IS PRICKLY WHY IS THAT HOT?????
Lance: *moves so his head is resting in the crook of Keith’s neck*
Keith: *literally collapses*
Bro is down HORRENDOUS for Lance with stubble 💀💀💀 Keith would foam at the mouth if he ever saw Lance with 5 o’ clock shadow in canon (except he wouldn’t because it’s a children’s show who buries their gays)
HAHAHA POST CANON LANCE WHERE HE ACTUALLY DOESN’T SHAVE SOMETIMES SO KEITH HAS TO DEAL WITH ALL THE REPRESSED FEELINGS HE’S HAD SINCE THE BEGINNING
Lance: *conversing like a normal human being*
Keith: oh lord did he forget to shave? Why do I find this attractive please attack my neck—nope. that’s a bit too gay, Kogane. Get yourself together.
Lance: Oh hey Keith!!!! I haven’t seen you in awhile man!!!!
Keith, muttering: darn I think I’m attracted to dorks now
Shiro, who can still clearly hear him: you have been for awhile now
Keith: shut your gay ass up Shiro
Shiro: how about you shut yours
Lance: what are you guys talking about??? Is about me? I know, I’m so important—*continues rambling*
Keith: even his rambling is cute is he real???
Shiro: Yeah! We were actually just talking about how you look—
Keith: *glares HARD at Shiro*
Shiro: Really sophisticated nowadays.
Lance: Oh. Really?
Shiro: yep! Right, Keith?
Keith: Yeah.
(I am trying to keep my blog sfw so I can’t really go too far with Keith’s thoughts sorry!!)
