Chintara

After Allura’s death, and in turn Lance receiving his gift, Lance started having vivid dreams. Some are of him being Altean from birth, growing up as Allura’s younger brother and loyal knight. Others, he follows Keith back into space, helping run the Blade along side his husband. This would’ve been fine, if he didn’t retain the memories of those “lives” after he woke up. Thoroughly freaked out, Lance contacts Slav, who explains that he’s tapped into inter dimensional quintessence, and he is “living” his alternate dimension’s lives while he sleeps. Using this knowledge, Lance steps up to lead the Coalition, who partners with the Blade (Coalition running outreach and Blade running military/security) and eventually falls in love with Keith. It’s a little touch and go for a while, since Lance thinks it’s just lingering feelings from another of his selves. He and Slav meet up every so often to talk about his most recent dreams, and find what could be similar between his life and the others. He also gets tips from Slav on how to tell himself from the other Lances.

A series of moments showing lance slowly fall for Keith

* While rescuing Shiro on Earth, “I know that mullet anywhere!” (Annoyed and angry)

* Looking for Keith in a party, “I’d know that mullet anywhere” (rolls his eyes and points to Keith)

* Picking him out in a crowd of Galra, “I’d know that mullet anywhere” (whispers to himself while looking at Keith through his scope)

* Looking for Keith in prisoner cells through cameras Pidge hacked, “there! I’d know that mullet anywhere!” (Points excitedly at the screen)

* Keith comes back from the space whale, “I’d know that mullet anywhere.” (Lovingly caresses Keith’s face and leans in to kiss him)

Remember that time when the wormhole destabilized? (Yeah I know this is used a lot, but if you got a better idea do it!)

Lance is spinning out of control, plummeting towards empty space at dizzying speeds. All he remembers is purple electricity, his team yelling in confusion, then shooting out of the ship at his current trajectory.

“Come on baby,” he grits out through clenched teeth, white knuckled as he works to help Blue equalize. “We got this, I got this, it’ll all be-”

Why did no one think to put seatbelts in the lions? Lance pushes up from his spot on the floor, kneeling to see what stopped his uncontrolled spinning. Neon lights flash over his view screen, and a sign on his left depicts an alien woman (maybe, he really doesn’t want to judge) made from lights, leaning back on a pole, tail “swaying” as the lights flash, and her four arms sensually flashing across her body.

“Please, don’t tell me,” he stands to get a better look, bellow him sprawls a metal city, flashing lights, fireworks, brightly colored aliens, and most worrying; more stripper adds topping buildings and floating outside doorways. “Pidge will never let me live this down.”

A couple things

Lance can’t get blue back online

This place is deep into the empire so there aren’t Voltron friendly

A brothel mother takes lance in

He starts as a server, but he spends so long there he needs to get an apartment

Stripping gives him good money

A blade of mammora finds lance, reports to kolivan

Team comes for lance, there was a time dilation (1 month lance = 1 day team)

Lance is there for a little over a year (12 1/2 days team)

Lance rejoins team, and uses his new skills to complete undercover missions, lipstick missions, and even trains some of the blade

This all makes Shiro uncomfortable, but lance is 18 so he can make his own decisions

Keith secretly loves it and when lance and him start dating, lance takes full advantage of his skills

Pidge loves to bring it up in front of Shiro and lance joins them in embarrassing their leader

Hunk spends time researching alien stds and acts as lances muscle on missions

Allura is hesitant about sending Lance on these missions at first (she still sees him as immature) but soon realises how much lance matured and the insane amount of info he can get from these missions

Coran briefs lance about alien anatomy and cultural beliefs before missions, and treats lance when things get too serious once, vowing to do anything to keep his adoptive son safe

Maybe a couple assassinations when he unlocks a pistol on his bayard

Lance learns that Allura’s gift makes him live longer than the Average human lifespan. Coran tries to calm him down by letting him know it’s not as long as a full blooded Altean would live, but Lance doesn’t want to live to see all his friends and family die. Kolivan comes with Keith to visit the Atlas (where Lance is acting as Coran’s bodyguard/diplomatic intern) and lets slip that Keith will live slightly longer than humans, but not as long as full blooded Galra. Lance and Keith bond over their shared plight, and eventually start a romantic relationship.

Flash forward, Lance and Keith look just about 40 and elderly Voltron stand beside the two on an altar, it’s their wedding. After, Shiro pulls Keith to the side and jokes about living long enough to finally hear Lance stop complaining about when Keith would propose. Keith gets emotional and expresses his feelings about having to see watch his Voltron Family age before him. Shiro says, “it might be my age talking, but the time I’ve had is enough for me. I have some regrets about how I spent some of it, and I still feel the loss of the years I spent in captivity and missing. None of that can compare to the joy and warmth I feel that the rest of these years, I’ve spent them with a loving family, amazing friends, and loving my husband. Now it’s your turn, you lost so much of those happy years as a child, and then spent most of your teen years fighting in a war. Take this opportunity to live the life you’ve earned, with a husband who’s earned your love.”

Lance survived a shark attack while still on earth, but he still has phantom pains and occasional flashbacks. Shiro is a kindred spirit, and they grow closer over similar experiences. (Maybe throw in some lance comparing their trama as Shiro=big T trama and lance =little t trama, and Shiro calling bs).

Also sharks are still his favorite animal.

After a particularly rough battle, the pods are out of commission, and Lance took a hard hit in Blue. He’s lost too much blood and none of the humans are viable donors, but Coran or Allura can donate (due to fake alien genetic excuses that sound passable, like their shape shifting can change to the genetic level). As a result Lance gains his marks and a low level of Quintessence manipulation and a nice, healthy, dysphoria due to now being half Altean.
