anyway how about pining princess allura who gets butterflies in her stomach when she talks to other princesses while she’s on diplomatic missions, shyly giggles and tucks her hair behind her ear when they compliment her and promises to keep in touch with them when she leaves

1 DAY UNTIL VLD SEASON 8

2 days until voltron season 8

3 days until voltron season 8

7 days until voltron season 8

10 days until voltron season 8

Since we’re reaching the end of the series

I would wish that everyone would somehow stop thinking about ships for a second and focus on the actual story? Because the voltron crew worked so hard to make it as interesting as possible but of course people just ignore it, it really drives me mad to see people hating a series or ignoring it because their ship didn’t go their way, it just shows how some people are ignorant and selfish as fuck, well the crew can’t give you everything you want, the story was written from beginning to end and was thought throughly,

Honestly I’m just angry about how people are sleeping on the plot and story of voltron, yes I do ship some characters with each other and I get sad that I don’t see them interact but that won’t get in the way of me focusing about the story, for God’s sake the story is about survival and war and protecting the world, making characters fall in love would be the worst decision (you saw what happened to allura)

Anyways, moral of the story, all I need or all the fandom needs is to stop being ignorant and selfish and focus on the story and plot, whatever ship happenes, it happens, you can’t do nothing about it.

Sorry for blabbering, I’m just very pissed

Imagine Lance wondering why no one made a fuss when he died. He almost asks Allura if anyone else even knew– but he doesn’t want to be making a big deal if no one else is.

So he convinces himself it wasn’t a big deal. After himself and Shiro, he sees that death is curable, that it is merely an injury that could be healed.

And then he gets even more reckless.

Lance, when Allura shows up in a new outfit: Allura I Would Die For You

Allura: I know Lance… Please do not do that again

The rest of the team:What

Not Himself (Part 3)

Alright so I was busy with a lot (and to be honest, working on a Dear Evan Hansen fic on AO3) and sort of forgot about this for a while, but I couldn’t leave it where I did.

The next thing Lance knew, he was stumbling out of a cryopod.

“Lance!” Hunk yelled, hugging his friend.

“Careful, Hunk.” Allura said. “We’re still not sure what happened, if they’ve both been affected by something.”

“I can handle him. Besides, you guys would back me up, right?”

Allura gave a small smile. Hunk finally released Lance, who was still trying to get a grip on what was happening.

“Lance, are you alright?” Coran slowly approached.

Suddenly Lance’s eyes were wide open.

“The Castle! We have to move the Castle, Haggar’s probably on her way, how long was I out, we might not have much time to-”

“We moved it as soon as we got you in the pods.” Allura said. “I knew something wasn’t right with-” She stopped and took a breath, holding her eyes shut for a moment. “So Haggar is involved?”

“Princess, perhaps we should give the poor boy a little while to adjust before getting answers out of him?” Coran suggested.

Allura looked at the ground. “You’re right. But we need to keep an eye on him. We don’t know if-”

“Of course, princess. We won’t let him do anything rash.”

Allura nodded, then smiled at Lance. “How about you eat something? Hunk spent a lot of time cooking while you were in there. We can discuss things later.”

“What happened to Shiro?” He asked.

Her smile fell a little. “We managed to knock him out, and we were pretty sure that he was the one of you who caused this, so we put him in a pod and Coran set it so he won’t wake up until we are ready to deal with whatever happened to him.”

Lance nodded, then walked towards Hunk, who was beckoning him towards the kitchen. He was delayed when he was pulled into a hug from Pidge and Keith.

Wait, Keith?

“When did you get here?” He asked when the hug ended.

“Red called out to me. I couldn’t understand him but I could tell he was pretty freaked out. I rushed over here and barely made it before Allura moved the castle. I thought-” He scratched the back of his neck. “I kinda thought you were already dead.”

Lance’s first thought was of Red. He had called to Keith. Did that mean he left Lance for good? Lance internally shook his head to get rid of the thoughts. “Me? Dead? Come on, Keith, I’m not that bad at combat. You don’t have to worry about-” He stopped when he noticed Pidge leaving the room without a word. “Uhhhh…”

“Pidge is just a little shaken.” Hunk explained. “Don’t worry about it, come on.”

Lance had to take a step back when he saw the amount of food that was in the kitchen. “Geez, Hunk, how long was I out? Were you cooking the whole time?”

Hunk looked a little nervous. “Uh, you weren’t out for long, it was only like 3 hours? We were all just kind of stressed about- you know.”

Lance looked at the ground. “Yeah.” He shook his head. “So all this stuff looks delicious, I don’t even know where to start!” He grabbed a plate and started tossing things on it. He didn’t know what they were, he just wanted something to focus on besided what had happened.

Eventually the food was gone and he felt a hand rest gently on his shoulder. Allura. “Lance…” She paused. “I know you might not want to think about what happened, but we need to know so we can figure out what to do next.”

Lance looked up and realized the whole team was looking at him expectedly.

He sighed. “Well, you know how Shiro’s been off lately? I went down to the lions and they did this weird brain connection thing so Black could tell me what was going on. And so I learned that Haggar’s had control of Shiro since we got him back and- and when I woke up, Shiro was there, and he found out, and-” He paused for a moment. “And then he attacked me, so I went in my lion, and I would have warned you guys, but Haggar-Shiro held the bayard to his throat and threatened to kill him! So I- uh- well Red told me not to, and I didn’t listen, and he left me, so I guess- huh, guess I’m not a paladin anymore, or whatever.” He shrugged. “So I kneeled in front of him and closed my eyes but he just gave me my bayard and said-” He screwed his eyes shut. “He said I had to do it myself. And that’s when you guys came in.”

“Lance,” Allura started gently. “You-”

“What the hell, Lance?” Keith’s voice rang out. “You can’t just give yourself to an enemy who’s planning to kill you!”

Lance stood up. “It was me or Shiro!”

Keith stepped forward. “No, it was you or a possessed Shiro who could’ve gone on to help Haggar kill the rest of the team!”

“He’s still more help than-” He choked on the rest of the sentence as he saw Keith’s eyes widen in disbelief.

“I think we should all take a breather and-” Hunk was cut off.

“Finish the sentence, Lance.” Keith dared him, secretly hoping there was another way it could possibly end. “What were you going to say?”

“God, what do you want from me? You all know it too, my plans suck, I’m always screwing up, I’m annoying, I’m the goofball, and now I don’t even have a lion, so yeah, I’m a weak link and probably drag the team down more than any enemy. Sorry you’re all so shocked that I know it too.”

The room was in shocked silence until he heard loud sobbing. He looked over to see Pidge with her face in her hands and shoulders shaking.

Lance softened, moving towards her. “Hey, Pidgey, it’s alright, it’s okay, I’m sor-”

“No!” She sobbed. “It’s not alright and you shouldn’t be the one apologizing, and I’m sorry for- for calling you a goofball I- I didn’t know you were- you should have told me it bothered you! I was joking and I’m just- I’m sorry!” Pidge threw her arms around Lance and continued sobbing.

Lance didn’t know what to do. He had never seen Pidge like this, whenever there was a problem she’d just be all the more motivated to do something about it.

Oh.

There wasn’t some way to engineer or code her way out of this one.

Hunk was crying too, ad Keith was on the brink of tears.

“Lance,” He cleared his throat. “Losing Shiro would be awful, and we’d all be upset, but we’ve been there before and- we could pull through. You, you’re the only thing that held us together during that. If we lost you-” His voice cracked. “We’d be a disaster. When I rushed over here thinking you were gone, I- I didn’t know how we’d- I thought it was only a matter of time before all of Voltron came down, because we couldn’t recover from that. Not quickly.”

Hunk spoke up. “Yeah, I mean, I’d probably make so much food there wouldn’t be any room left in the castle, and then where would we be?”

Lance laughed, grateful for something at least partially light-hearted to repond to. “Of course, buddy.”

Allura cleared her throat, and Lance could see her fighting tears as well. “Lion or no lion, you are a part of this team, and I know Shiro wouldn’t want you to die for him. We can’t change what happened, and I will do my best to find a way to get Haggar out of Shiro’s head, but should this happen again- you shouldn’t choose yourself to die so easily.”

“Okay.” Lance didn’t know what else to say, but he smiled. Maybe he was a little important to the team. He thought back to how upset they looked when they were getting the issue under control. How the lion was saying that it would be better if he went after Shiro, that it was best for the team, that Lance could be a leader, that-

Wait. That was after Red left him. If it wasn’t Red, and it definitely wasn’t Blue because he knows her voice, then-

There was something akin to a chuckle in his mind. “That’s right, cub.”

Oh! Lance could have smacked himself for not realizing. “Uh guys? I think I’m the black paladin now.”
