A continuation of my post season 8 Black Paladin Lance AU. I’m trying to keep things close to canon with the other characters but am open to divergent suggestions.

[soulvtude]

keith and lance have a tradition where they give each other a bouquet with their favourite coloured flowers (red flowers for keith, blue flowers for lance) and then they swap one flower with each other and put it in the middle of their bouquets.

WARNING: OPINIONS BELOW

not to bring up old amd major fandom discourse but...

okay so watching the atla live action drove me back into my 2010 zutara era, and reading all that zutara fanfic made me think of klance (the other blue/red ship we should have had) so i was reading klance fic which made me realize i forgot most of the show and made me want to rewatch the show and im about to finish season 2 again and guys??? omg????

ok i was a klance girly thru and thru like everyone else but in the early seasons like 1 and 2 (and i realize what i'm about to say is blasphemous but bear with me) allura and keith had HELLA chemistry. like they had bonding moments and had like...a lot of deep talks and skinship (like the ep where they thought they were being tracked by zarkon, or the ep where allura gets over some of her galra hatred for keith's sake, etc etc) and were honestly more compelling than allura and lance or allura and shiro. maybe it's because i'm no longer a child/i'm looking at it through a more critical lens but the dynamics are totally different than what i remember in the early seasons.

OBVIOUSLY IT'S MEANT PLATONICALLY IN THE SHOW but the chemistry is real platonically or romantically. and for fandom that ships anything with a pulse, this ship really should have been more popular.

i think ppl were just so obsessed with wanting gay characters or characters with specific sexualities that they glossed over characters that had real chemistry. and only sticking to the skinny characters was whack. lance had hella chemistry with hunk and but i think y'all are too fatphobic to properly appreciate him. i blame the show for making hunk the least fleshed out of the main characters. hunk is more than comic relief!

also? y'all butchered my boy keith in fanon. he's got way more personality in the real show than in fanon, which like i understand that usually fanon characters have less personality but the difference is wild. canon keith is not nearly as withdrawn or moody as he is in fanon, he's just kind of a grumpy guy who knows what he wants and is incredibly determined to get it. he's not as emo or depressed (or repressed) as fanon makes him either

for the record, i'm still klance for LIFE but omg have a little fun sometimes. bi keith supremacy.

also, unrelated and completely off-topic sidenote, stop writing spanish into your fics if you can't speak it. i can't speak it even i can tell yall on some gringo shit. use italics or <brackets> like they do in comic books and webtoons. way less cringe.

New Klance Fic!!

a billion light years from here

T, ongoing

Keith and Lance reconnect over letters. Through their writing, Keith learns to open up, and Lance learns what a home is.

"For all the game I talked on the castleship about missing home, now that I’m back on my family farm, I kind of feel like there’s something missing. Like, even surrounded by all of the juniberry flowers Allura gave us, and even with my parents, I still feel lonely. Or restless."

Or: A post s-8 fix-it AU told entirely through letters between Lance and Keith, both sent and unsent.

Baby Blues

Part 1

Keith and Lance have gotten the sudden news of a baby available for their adoption. All the excitement of starting a new family has began to turn into an anxiety for Keith.

A/N: I really like writing soft, cute family stuff like this, it just brings my heart so much joy. This is entirely a fluff fic written for funsies please don’t be gross. Enjoy!!

Keith’s heart was hammering, He couldn’t calm down. The stress and anxiety he felt couldn’t be calmed. He bit down on his hand, nearly chipping his teeth on the blue wedding band that sat there. The events of the last night were swimming in his head.

They had been sitting at the kitchen table when the phone rang, a baby was available for adoption. The news had made Lance drop the mug he was holding out of excitement. Keith had all but jumped into his arms as they spun around, carefully avoiding the broken mug on the floor, full of joy at the knowledge that they would soon be a family. Just as soon as they had the mug shards cleaned and were in their good clothes the two of them hopped in the car and began to drive three states over. All the joy had began to swirl into pure dread.

His husband reached out a hand to his. Turning to look at him with those calm blue eyes he knew so well. “It’s okay to be nervous.” Lance whispered. Keith looked down. “I know- I just” He stopped himself for a second out of fear of crying “I just don’t want to mess it all up”

He felt Lance’s hand caress his face “We’re not going to, You’re not going to”

Keith did all he could to hold back tears, “What if I’m just like my mom—”

“Badass and hot? You already got that down pat.”

“No- what. Lance gross. I mean jumping ship when things get tough and leaving you and the child alone.”

“Babe, these feelings are valid. But may I remind you, your mom didn’t leave you because things got though or stressful. She left to protect you. She did the hardest thing imaginable out of love. She was able to come back into your life wasn’t she? Give Kerolia a little credit” Lance started

Keith ducked down further “I know but- what if that urge strikes me?”

Lance leaned into kiss Keith gently, “Well, you are not your mother. You’re Keith Kogane, a man who saved the universe. You can handle being a father. I believe in you. You’re one of the most competent men I know.”

Keith blushed, the flattery was nice. Although he still was super skeptical.

Lance continued “Plus you’re literally amazing with my sister’s kids. Like c’mon Silvio basically warships you and you didn’t even have to TRY. So please give yourself a little credit and believe that you might be good at this. For me?”

Keith nestled his neck into Lance’s shoulder. “How are you so calm about this.” He asked “This is probably one of the biggest things that can ever happen to us.”

Lance sighed and smoothed over Keith’s hair.

“I’m not. I’m terrified to tell you the truth. But there’s two of us and we’ll try our very best.” He smiled “Do you think we’re going to be any good at this?”

Keith leaned in closer. “I have no idea” he sighed “but we’ll figure it out.”

“That’s the man I married” Lance said with a contented smile, he gave Keith a kiss on the forehead “Now let’s go, we’re already late.”

In Sunshine and in Shadow

Fandom: Voltron: Legendary Defender Rating: Mature Relationships: Paladins of Voltron (platonic), Sheith (Shiro/Keith) Chapters: 20 * Words: 155,311 * Status: Complete

In the years after the war, the former paladins of Voltron have found their own paths to healing - some settling down while others continue to rebuild and explore the universe. For a time, all is well.

But peace is ever a tentative thing, and those who seek to destroy and conquer will always be waiting in the shadows, biding their time. While Shiro focuses inward and uncovers hard truths about himself and his actions in the face of his trauma, Keith, Pidge, Hunk and Lance slip quietly back into the front lines of yet another fight to save everything the Coalition has worked to build.

Now, more than ten years after losing one of their own, a chance encounter brings Shiro, Keith, and the other paladins together, and Shiro must make a choice. Will he fight? Or will he remain on the sidelines as his friends take on the mantle of defender once again?

As shadows lengthen and tensions rise, the former paladins must come together once more. And the strength of their bond will determine the fate of the universe.

A post-canon imagining of our favorite characters ten years after the events of season eight.

ignoring s8 when I write the voltron au. as much as i love the season (bar a few things) i absolutely cannot write the group like that. I'd die. (Also the ending?? No. Nope. Doesn't exist.)

[marlow-holly]

After 8 hours, I think it’s time to switch gears to The Clone Wars

[absentmindedadmirer]

Going back into my Voltron phases are like: Lance!!! McClain!!! <333 => Angry over how the show did him => Upset most of the characters were ruined in writing => I will kick Lotor in the shins => I kinda hate the show ==> ...But Klance is adorable.

[voltron-revival]

Our first post! I only got into Voltron over the past month, so I wanted to practice drawing the characters :D I don't draw often anymore, but I hope to change that since we want to do comics for this rewrite! This is a screenshot redraw btw.

About the ace flag in the back, it's our personal headcanon that Keith is on the aroace spectrum! For my interpretation, here are a few reasons why I think he could be:

He's doesn't show ANY (explicit) interest in anyone romantically, even w/ people he trusts with his life. Considering how he's a fan favorite (arguably a fave in the writer's room too lmfao), this is strange! I know not all teams care about ships, but considering there were canon pairings, it makes you wonder!

There's a bit of a moment where it seems like they want the audience to contemplate Keith x Acxa, but it's immediately discarded lmao

The ONLY person he goes to for support (besides Shiro, a brother figure IMO) is Lance, and good grief, there's romantic subtext, especially by season 8.

About Lance: I think there may be something there. He's a good example of why I say spectrum and not aroace; Keith, w/ Lance, demonstrates that given enough of a bond, he can grow to love and trust someone with not just his life but his vulnerabilities, and even to return the favor when called upon.

If I HAD to be more specific, I'd say demiromantic-demisexual, but he's got a job to do so he's not thinking abt all that 💀💀💀 /ref
