Deck the Halls

My Shaladin Secret Santa contribution for @luluwritesthings! Requested post-Voltron fluff, and I did my best to provide! I'm sorry it's a bit on the short side, but I hope you enjoy!

Shiro/Hunk/Lance, rated G.

Shiro was still getting used to coming home at the end of the day.

In the abstract, of course, he’d come home at the end of the day for most of his life. When he was a kid he’d come back to his parents’ house, and those sixteen years had been far longer than the years he’d spent at the Garrison, where ‘home’ was somewhere you only went for a few weeks of the year and your bunk was where you collapsed at night; or the year in a Galra prison, where there was no such thing as a bed, let alone a home; or the heady, terrifying years of Voltron, when ‘home’ had been a wondrous if capricious alien ship that he lived in most of the time, and returned to on a schedule that varied based on the local politics and whatever the Galra were up to at any given time.

Going from a cabin in the Castle-ship, drifting through the endless wonders of space, to a cosy two-bedroom house in a quiet suburb had been enough of a change. And now, adding to the surrealism, he came home every day to somebody else. To two somebodies.

It wasn’t the way he’d ever thought his life would go, but Shiro wasn’t complaining in the least.

He landed the hoverbike carefully, lifted the bag of groceries, and swung the front gate open, feeling faintly ridiculous. The front garden was a complete disaster zone and had been since they bought the property. He was probably going to have to do something about that if they stayed. The house itself was in decent shape, as far as he could tell. Lance had been lobbying to repaint the front – “C’mon, what’s the point of having a house if we can’t have a Voltron mural on the front?” – but so far he’d been voted down.

He had, however, proudly brought home a Voltron-shaped door-knocker, now mounted over the letter box. The robot hung by both Lion-arms from the flaming sword, poised in mid-stomp, with the Yellow Lion kicking back into a metal plate with Zarkon’s face painted on it. Shiro didn’t even know where Lance had found it, but it still got a smile out of him most days.

The smell of baking flooded out when Shiro opened the door. Somewhere in the house Hunk was singing cheerfully. Shiro toed his boots off into the pile by the door, hefted the groceries, and followed his lover’s voice into the kitchen, where Hunk was elbow-deep in the sink with his back to the door. The radio was playing something Shiro vaguely recognised as a classic, and Hunk was singing along with a lot of substitutions.

Space hadn’t been easy on any of them. Pidge had a cybernetic right eye, courtesy of the Olkari after one of Haggar’s smaller experiments had taken a swipe at her face. Keith had regrown so many teeth they’d lost count – a side benefit of Galra genetics – and three of Lance’s ribs had been outright replaced after a particularly nasty fight.  Hunk had taken his own share of hits. Even from the door, Shiro could see three faint white scars traced across the back of Hunk’s neck, just visible under his hair and the faded ribbons of his headband, the leftover signature of a Druid’s twisted curiosity.

And the radio played on the countertop, beside half a dozen racks of small golden pies, and below the scars on Hunk’s neck was the fading hickey Shiro had sucked into his skin two nights ago, upstairs.

They took on the Galra Empire and won, and this is what they won. It’s strange, in so many ways, but Shiro likes it.

“Hey, Hunk,” he calls, dumping the groceries on the table and crossing the room to his partner.

“ –old-fashioned way – hey, Shiro!” Hunk slotted a mixing bowl into the drainer and turned away from the sink, holding up a hand when Shiro leant in for a kiss. “Whoa, let me dry off.”

“You’ve been busy,” Shiro commented as Hunk quickly towelled his hands dry. “What’re you making?”

“Something special.” Shiro snagged Hunk’s waist and leaned in again, and this time Hunk let him, curling one arm around Shiro’s shoulders to pull him in for a quick kiss. “You know, festive season, we’re back on Earth, we should do it properly. You’re early.”

“Today’s debrief was pretty short. We’d covered a lot of it already.” Shiro’s current job description might as well be ‘Go over the entire Galra war with every officer in the Garrison, twice.’ It was important work, there was no denying that, and Shiro was still a Garrison officer. Still, it got frustrating, sometimes, going over the same thing again, even if he was careful not to let it show. He ran the fingers of his metal hand through Hunk’s hair and smiled. “You have flour on your nose.”

Hunk wrinkled his nose and pulled back, scrubbing at his face. “Thanks. Naxela again?”

Shiro let him go and started unloading the groceries. “The Balmera. I think Professor Montgomery’s going to be after you about power sources again, he seemed frustrated when I couldn’t tell him anything about the resonance.”

“He called earlier,” Hunk said, making a face. Flour was smudged down the side of his nose. “I told him he could wait ‘til tomorrow. Did I get it?”

"You’ve got a spot –” Shiro gestured to his cheek. Hunk scrubbed again, missing the trace of flour by an inch. “No, left a bit – you’re good. What are these, anyway?”

“Mince pies.” Hunk bent down to help Shiro with the groceries, and straightened up with a bottle of milk in his hand. “You know, that was always what I missed in space. Don’t get me wrong, Balmeran cave bugs are amazing, but sometimes I just wanted something familiar, you know?”

Forming the Coalition, Voltron had visited a lot of different planets. A lot of those planets had been pretty spectacular, even to someone who didn’t have the curiosity needed to fly out to the edge of the Solar system in the space equivalent of a rattletrap buggy just to see what was there. Every day had brought a new species, a new culture, or a new natural wonder to marvel at. Mablis had been one of the high points: The capital city was a miracle of engineering, suspended in a gorge by a thousand narrow filaments, with waterfalls pouring down to either side. The fighting hadn’t been too gruelling, and the native Eriglits had been happy to host them for a few days, had offered food and comfortable rooms and surprisingly bouncy music.

It had been peaceful. Pleasant.

At the end of the fourth day, Shiro had slumped back into the bed and realised that he would willingly trade – maybe not his entire remaining arm, but at least a couple of fingers, for a battered paperback murder mystery and a mug of hot coffee.

“I know the feeling.”

Hunk looked down at the milk and smiled wryly before putting it in the fridge. “It was the holidays, mostly. Even when we got the calendar working, we could celebrate but the food wasn’t right. It wasn’t the same. So – this year, we’re doing it right.”

Shiro looked at the racks of cooling mince pies, thought back to his childhood, and smiled. “You know, if we’re going to do it right, we ought to get fairy lights.”

“Already done,” a smug voice said from the doorway.

Shiro jumped and turned around. Lance grinned at them both and hefted a carrier bag triumphantly, then stepped forward to press his lips to Shiro’s cheek. “I got fairy lights. And tinsel.” He bumped his mouth against Hunk’s and dropped the bag, reaching for a mince pie.  “I am prepared. This house is going to make people on Pluto jealous of our decorating prowess.”

“Careful, they’re –” Lance spluttered around a mouthful of pastry. “-hot,” Hunk finished.

“Worth it,” Lance managed, though he was panting to cool his tongue down.

“You don’t have to burn your tastebuds off, babe.”

Lance took the glass of cold juice Shiro handed him and gulped it down gratefully. “First mince pies in seven years,” he said between swallows, and put the glass down. “Man, I missed those.”

“So I see,” Shiro said. “And…tinsel, apparently.” He nudged the carrier bag with his foot. Strands of glittering gold, green, and red bulged out of the top.

“Way better than that glittery string we used in the Castle,” Lance said. “We had loads, when I was growing up. We used to wrap it around the bannisters. And then we’d take it off to play with it, and Mom would yell at us for making a mess – we got bits of it everywhere. My cousin made a beard out of it one year.”

"No,” Hunk said immediately, shaking his head. “Lance, I love you, but not the bannisters.”

Lance grinned and wound his arms around Hunk’s shoulders. “How about the door frames?”

“…yeah, okay.”

Shiro shook his head. “So…we’re decorating.”

“We don’t have to.” Lance hung his weight off Hunk’s shoulders and bent back until he was looking at Shiro upside down. “We can leave it if you don’t want to. But I’d like it.”

“No, I don’t mind.” Shiro stepped in and pulled Lance the right way up so he could kiss him properly, quick and sweet. “It’s just…” He laughed, surprising himself. “It’s pretty domestic, isn’t it?”

“Yeah,” Hunk said, tugging Shiro closer. “I think we earned it.”

Yes, Shiro thought. They really had.

luluwritesthings replied to your post: OH. It never even OCCURRED to me that Not Shiro...

The positive I’m taking from everything with the whole Shiro thing is that it is at least implied he’s still alive. We don’t know his state of mind or body but I will clutch onto knowing he is alive at least.

Yep, I’m taking it that way too. Real Shiro is out there. I want him back.

Summary:

Hunk and Shiro sitting in a tree!

K-I-S-S-I-N-G!

First comes love, then comes self-discovery!

Then comes adoption and never dating again!

or

Hunk always dreamed of falling in love, getting married, and having a kid, but decided to go about it in the wrong order because he was tired of waiting and now he doesn’t know how to handle the really attractive childcare worker that cares for his child every day after school.

For that writer influence thing, it's not necessarily about your writing but you helped break that whole "You are popular in fandom so thus you are better and above us all" thing that's happened in online fandoms to me. I could come with you about the oddest of ideas and your response will be "Hell yes!!!" and you'll execute it in the BEST WAY and I can feel no intimidation in just talking to you about writing and ideas!

Man, dude, I’m sorry you’ve interacted with people like that?  Like, dang, I cannot pretend to be better than anyone else.  First of all, I still think popular is a stretch (I fill a niche, mostly, and so people with that same interest know me more than anything).  But second of all... I’m sitting here on an unmade bed in a dweeby NASA sweater and trying to resist the urge to color all over myself with the new brush pens I got.  Holy balls, I am no one’s superior, and that’s a good thing.

Buuuut, hell yes I will say hell yes!  People’s ideas are fun.  S’why my inbox is always open.  Getting recommendations is a great way to get the brain juices flowing in a new way, and in the end, that’s what inspiration is.  I’m super glad you feel comfy talking to me.  I'm pretty open to talking to people on here, because I have problems shutting the hell up.  You want advice?  I’ll give you dubious advice.  You want to scream about a pairing?  I’ll probably scream with you!  

So, uh, thank you very much, I’m glad you feel that way.  I shouldn’t be intimidating: I’m exactly like every other author in this fandom.

[demenior]

Okay I'm still on the last chapter of Little Monsters then I saw your Ulsan redesign based off that and my immediate thought was if the Blade of Markova would participate in Feeding Days or have they integrated it out of their customs or do they suffer withdrawals??? I gotta know

The whole Switch Universe was created before s2, so while we knew we would have a Rebel Force fighting Zarkon, we weren’t sure how we were going to play the Galra into it. 

So atm all of this is my own personal speculation as I haven’t consulted with @krakendra about them (because she hasn’t finished s2 yet, lmao, but there’s no s2 spoilers here. Just my interpretation of the BoM) 

[If you don’t know what Feeding Day refers to, click here to read ch1 of Little Monster. That’ll fill you in]

But here we go:

*Also, since this is about the Switch the Beat Universe, we’re going with my Galra redesign-type Galra. [Click here to take a look if you don’t know what I’m talking about]

The BoM are a weird almost-cult group. At least, that’s how they’re considered to the main population. They started off with the ideal of ‘living like the old days’, so essentially they’re the Galra Amish (except of course, not Amish, lmao) They live on the fringes of society and don’t register in census reports and don’t have like, social security numbers or anything so they technically don’t exist, but they often infiltrate many levels of Galra society and it’s hard to tell who’s a BoM and who’s not. 

They often quietly recruit Galra to join them, or just seek out potential mates to keep the gene pool varied and large. They’re unique in that most of their offspring are physically created and gestated, rather than in labs like most of the Empire. And, many BoM know who their actual parents are-- which is a rare and weird relationship for other Galra to comprehend. 

A stereotypical way to tell if a Galra is from the BoM is to look at their tail (or where it would be). The BoM don’t believe in docking their tails (which is something the Empire does because of Tradition. Tradition being that waaay back when, Zarkon lost his tail while he was the Black Paladin, and since he’s The Emperor, everyone else wanted to embody him so now it’s The Norm). Social convention has it that a rough-looking/hackjob docking of the tail is easy to spot and it means it was done in some back-alley type deal with like a hack saw. That’s the urban legend at least, and why the tail docking is a Very Big Deal because you don’t want to look like you’re a backwater BoM Galra for the rest of your life, do you?

[note: this is why I’ve been drawing my Ulaz with a tail, but more likely he would have cut it off to pass as an Empire Galra as we saw him doing when he and Shiro first met, in-show]

They’ve always been anti-Zarkon, as he keeps moving the Galra away from what they ‘should be’. Which is why they often sabotage and perform such detailed espionage, but there’s never been a set end goal in sight. Which is why they’ve been spying on/in the Empire for hundreds of years and gotten shit-all done, lmao.

Just recently they’ve started working with the Rebellion (the Alliance, the rebels will insist on calling themselves. They’re a properly unified front and ‘rebel’ dismisses them as overzealous, impulsive fools). And while the BoM also suffer from that typical Galra xenophobia where they refuse to understand that Galra aren’t better than anyone else (they... might have learned that from the Alteans), they pass on information and help the Alliance when they can. 

As for Feeding Day-- Feeding Day isn’t something cooked up by Zarkon for Maximum Horror-- it’s literally how Galra function. There’s no such thing as withdrawal, there’s just eat or die, basically. 

So of course the BoM also have a Feeding Day! When left to their own devices they like to hunt animals on a random planet, and have no desire to eat anyone alive. [That part was all practicality on Zarkon (& Haggar’s) behalf.] The BoM want to be ‘old school’ so they’ll go out in packs to planets and eat, drink and be merry together-- hopefully resulting in an influx of the pitter-patter of little paws in a few months. 

If they’re currently in a position in the Empire, then they might take part in the Feeding Day traditions (ie: eating prisoners), but it’s all part of their cover so they don’t really think much of it. Like I said before, the BoM want to take Zarkon down so the Galra can go back to being ‘as they should be’ and actually don’t really care that he’s a tyrant and, arguably, a sadist. Talk about your privilege.

My first collab project was with @luluwritesthings, for the @darkmatterkurozine

Sadly the project didn’t go through, but lulu and I still wanted to share what we came up with.

You can read lulu’s work at: http://archiveofourown.org/works/13529328 

[voltronpolyshipbigbang-blog]

Would you be opposed to sharing my poly Voltron discord server?

Hi there! I’m very sorry to get to this so late but go ahead and share! Poly ships are always needed to be boosted and a server is perfect!

I hate adding this to the end of it the ask, but as of now I won’t be doing this BB any further. It’s only me, I have no time to be able to try and get a team together or the mental ability to see this through alone, and there’s been a poor execution on my part of trying to spread the word on this.

However, if anyone would be interested in wanting to run this you can message me on here or on my main tumblr @luluwritesthings and we can figure something out!

okay because I had a moment earlier: Shiro getting intrusive thoughts like 'what if I just broke this' bcs sometimes he truly doesn't know his strength so every once in a while somebody from the team walks in and sees Shiro like bending a spoon with his teeth and that's kind of hard to explain away

Honestly, I’ll bet he absolutely gets those kinds of thoughts a lot.  And in Shiro’s case, with no previous idea that could happen, it’d have to freak him the hell out.  Why does he suddenly want to hurt things?  What’s lurking in his head?  Was it something Haggar put in there?  

So Shiro keeps it to himself, and for the most part it’s not a huge problem.  Shiro’s always been just a bit distractable in his head anyway, with the tendency to chase after a random question when the situation isn’t dire enough to require his full concentration.  The tendency makes living with aliens a bit harder than necessary (Shiro once spent an hour in the system trying to figure out if Alteans sneezed, when Coran nearly started out of his chair when Hunk did it).  But it makes him a bit more immune to the random impulses, even when they persist.  They push at him, tug at his mind, what if what if what if, and Shiro tries to distract himself with what’s actually important.

But some days are harder than others, and there are times when Shiro just...slips.

Unfortunately, the Galra arm makes it really easy to succeed.

Shiro snaps silverware from his snacks pretty often.  Luckily, there are tons of it, made for huge royal parties, so a few missing hasn’t mattered yet.  Once, he stabbed a fork into a cutting board so hard that the had to physically climb onto the counter to get it back out.  Another time, he just snapped a pad in half in his room.  No reason, there was nothing bothering him on the screen.  Just ‘can I? can I?  What if I...?’ and it was in pieces.  

The worst impulses are ‘what would the Galra arm do to that?’.  Those, Shiro is best at keeping down, because activating the arm takes more thought and effort than just using it’s strength, so there’s a bigger hurdle to actually doing it.  But there are a few cushions on the couch that were hastily flipped upside down, and one wall in his room has a gouge that hopefully he’ll never have to explain.

Shiro managed to hide it all.  For months, no one had any idea, because Shiro desperately wanted to keep it from them.  What would they say, if they knew what Shiro really was like?  If they saw how destructive he was?  Everything that wouldn’t be missed, Shiro threw into a closet in his room.  Everything that would be was rearranged.  And he knows it’s from his time with the Galra.  He knows it.  It’s about collection weapons, it’s about knowing the destructive potential of his arm, it’s about being able to make a dent on his environment, being able to change it.  He’s vicious.  Shiro can’t let them know that.

Until he slips in front of them.

At lunch, Shiro looked at the fork in his hand and thought ‘can I?’

The thought nags, pushes at his brain, scratches his mind with urgency until Shiro gave in. His right thumb pressed against it, heating it up.  Then he jammed the fork against the edge of the table, hard enough for the red-hot tongs to twist together into one sharp point.

Shiro tilted his his head, considering, before he blinked himself back into awareness.

The whole room was staring at him.

“Was there something wrong with that fork?” Pidge asked, brow furrowed.  

Oh no.

Most of the gazes were confused, and Shiro could deal with that.  Shiro could work with that.

But he saw dawning comprehension on Hunk’s face, and Shiro’s stomach dropped to his feet.  “I’m sorry, I need to-”  He was giving up the game, he was giving himself away, he should smile and come up with some kind of distracting excuse, but the knowledge in Hunk’s eyes is killing him.  

So instead Shiro ran out.

Later, there was a knock, and Shiro opened it, already knowing it was Hunk.  This confrontation needed to happen, but at least it wasn’t in front of the others.

But it was just as well he got chewed out for it.  Rightfully.  What business did he have, acting like he wasn’t not dangerous?

Except Hunk asks something about intrusive thoughts, and Shiro has no idea what that is.

So Hunk explains, and the whole time Shiro felt like he was about to fall over.

It’s not that he’s broken, it’s not that he was reformed, it’s not any of the things Sendak said to him.  It’s part of the human brain, part of anxiety, a compulsion.  Something that it’s not just him.

It’s not just him.

Shiro nods into Hunk’s shoulder, accepts the hugs and soft reassurances, repeats to himself that he’s not wrong, he’s not twisted, he’s not bad.  He reluctantly let’s Hunk help clean out the closet full of broken items, tries not to wince too badly at every reminder.

It doesn’t really help, when the thoughts are screaming at him.

It does help when he’s picking up the pieces after.
