Talk Langst To Me

Hi there! Are you talking about Let Me Catch My Breath by Smiles4Voltron (ao3)?

Here’s the summary in case anyone is interested:

So, Lance has to fight five champions of an alien race to save Keith- wouldn’t sound too hard if he wasn’t blind from an injury at that very moment. Oh, and did he mention that if he doesn’t defeat the five then Keith is given to them like some prize? Some delicious little prize that they will most likely do whatever they please with?

Left to fend for themselves, blinded and injured, two unlikely Paladins must work together to survive. Tensions get high with horrid creatures, a determined assassinator, and their growing attraction to the other.

So, both a frustrating tension and sexual one, huh? Or could you consider those the same thing?

Hope that helped!

The ask box is temporarily closed while we clear out the 10-or-so buildup of asks!! Don’t worry, we should be back within a week or two :D if not, feel free to come yell at me to open it back up bc this was my idea LMAO,

     Hi there! Boy have I got a lot for you xD!

     First off, for AMAZING sickfics please check out @taylortut on their archive and tumblr for some epic langsty sickfics! She’s on a permanent hiatus from Voltron, but she still has all of her old fics up on the archive! Like seriously I would recommend all of her fics right here right now, but there’s so many! So, I won’t recc ones that she wrote, cause there’s about 5 pages of them on her ao3 account. This list will just be any other good langst sickfics I have! (which is a lot lol)

Less Than Helpful by winterspirit13 (ao3)

- Lance is sick, horrible headache and all, but it has horrible timing. Keith is coming to stay at the castleship, finding time away from the Blade of Marmora. So he tries to ignore his little cold until Keith asks him for a favor and his “cold” gets to be too much to handle

Brain Freeze by CondensationOnGlass (ao3)

- Feverish Lance who has ridiculous chills and is complaining all through debriefing, irritating everyone else. As soon as debriefing is over, Pidge goes back to her room. Lance knocks on her door shivering and delirious outside her room, hoping that she might have a heated blanket.

Lights Please. by Zeeboa (ao3)

- Lance is miserably sick on the couch but that’s not going to stop a tournament.

Neighbors by potato_fan_girl (ao3)

- Lance stood in front of him, but it was a Lance he’d never seen before. Granted, Keith didn’t know him well by any means, but he was positive that the regular Lance would be leaning against the doorframe with a smirk, maybe a couple finger-guns. Not this. This Lance had wrapped himself in a blanket, and was still shivering slightly. His skin was much paler than usual, with flushed cheeks and sweat on his brow. He sniffled. “Um.” (Or the one where Keith and Lance live in apartments next to each other, and Lance is too sick for Keith to just leave him by himself.)

Turn Up the Heat by copiel (ao3)

- Lance just wants someone to make his room warmer, and he gets more than he bargained for.

It’s The Quenchiest! by CastielTheAngel (ao3)

- In which Lance and Keith get stranded on a desert planet with little hope of finding the proper resources to survive. Lance ends up drinking some cactus juice. Unlucky things entail.

Coffee Fever by BombDiggityDog (ao3)

- Lance had been waiting forever for a relaxing time like this, and isn’t about to let a little sickness stop him from enjoying it.

Weight of the World by Zurela (ao3)

- Lance hasn’t been sleeping very well. He does a good job of handling that, really. Keith disagrees.

Operation “Feel Better” by wingedflower (ao3)

- sick!Lance and supportive!Shiro

I’m fine by something_else (ao3)

- Lance isn’t sick. It’s just allergies, he says. Space allergies are a little worse than Earth allergies, that’s all. (Headcanon where Lance is violently terrified of being sick)

It’s Only Allergies! Swear! by cacrefulren (ao3)

- Lance starts his week off with an innocent case of the sniffles that he believes to be allergies. Despite growing worse as the week progresses, he wants to believe that it’s still allergies. It’s not.

Inopportune by Ironic_Swag7782 (ao3)

- Lance is starting to regret offering to help out at Shiro’s wedding.

     AND I KNOW I SAID I wouldn’t outright recc stuff from taylor_tut cause her archive account in whole is sickfic angsty HEAVEN, but these three are my absolute fave sickfics so I couldn’t NOT recc them lmao

Quiet by taylor_tut (ao3)

- Lance is sick with a cold, but the other paladins are already cranky from a long day and snapping at him, so he tries to hide it until it turns into an upper respiratory infection.

The Pizza One by taylor_tut (ao3)

- Like four people requested an AU where Lance is a pizza delivery man and delivers a pizza to the other paladins (modern, college AU) while running a very high fever. They make sure he gets taken care of. ((This one has been continued by another author as well and is linked at the end of this fic!))

Dances and Infections by taylor_tut (ao3)

- College AU for the few people who requested the “Lance and Keith get detention but Lance is sick” fic. However, since high school AU is not my jam, I tweaked it a bit so they can be older, and it’s a college AU.

     I super hoped that helped! Also, I can’t even begin to stress how important it is to check @taylortut out! She has such an amazing variety of sickfics (and not just from Voltron!) so if you want langsty sickfic DEFINITELY go check her works out!

Have a super night!

Hi!

Thank you so much for the information!! That was super helpful! :)) I’m sure the og anon will appreciate the news.

Hey! This is the only one I could remember, so if anyone else knows any good ones, feel free to rec them!

made of stone - tyrellis

I’ll probably add more later, but these are the ones that first came to mind!

some semblence of sanity - langst101

Allura and Coran introduce a new element into training - a more advanced version of the mind meld, a self-aware mental screening machine named Lysma.

Angst and space family bonding ensues.

(aka a self-indulgent fic because i love team bonding and angst rips)

**also, strap in bois, this long train crash of a fic is full of potentially triggering content so don’t read if any of the tags make you uncomfortable! tags are regularly updated for every chapter~

Break Out, Break Down - wingedflower

(Taking place some time after Crystal Venom)Ever since that day Lance has been nervous around small places. But he had no idea how truly bad it was - not until what was supposed to be a simple training task turned into a total breakdown.Luckily, he has people who care about him and accept him just the way he is.

Words Fail - EagleInFlight

A mind-melding exercise goes wrong, and the five Paladins are now trapped in Lance’s mind. To escape, they must delve through Lance’s memories. Lance learns that in order to save his friends, he has to stop running. But to stop running means to face the worst of himself.

Hi there!

     I’m gonna turn it over to the followers, Catt, and Nat! I’ve searched hell over high water because I SWEAR that I’ve read this before but can’t find it for the life of me! xD I hope somebody finds it! Sorry again!

Don’t worry, you’re not being a bother! Here’s some of my favs:

Work Harder (Langst) - The_Depressed_Huffle_Puffle

Lance was always insecure. He never needed to be told twice he was worthless or useless. Just a word can set someone off and it all starts with Pidge.

Triggers: Self-Harm, Suicidal tendencies, Harsh words, Language, suicide

Quiet - taylor_tut

Based on an anon prompt: Lance is sick with a cold, but the other paladins are already cranky from a long day and snapping at him, so he tries to hide it until it turns into an upper respiratory infection.

(psst this next one is my fav)

So Here’s What You’re Not Going to Do - BreakTheDawn

He lets them take out the frustrations on him. Encourages it really, because people need an outlet for their anger, and Lance has always been the best at making people angry at him.

(And if his heart twinges a little every time he has to let someone be particularly mean to him, then he just has to remember that this is what he’s good at. What he’s good for.)

But Lance is an older brother, and an uncle, and a younger brother. He learned sometimes keeping people means sacrificing his own feelings for a bit. He’s been taught that he can’t always let his feelings take a back seat though. After all, what happens if the rock falls apart?

So, while Lance is always prepared to be the enemy on any given day, there are certain days and certain things that he will not let fly.

Or,

What happens when Lance is sick of his teammate’s shit.

Trembling Lips - nonna

Lance is an emotional person who cries easily (and does the trembly-lip thing a lot) but tries to stay strong in front of the team.

OR

Five times Lance stopped himself from crying in front of his teammates, and the one time he couldn’t hold it back.

Ok we just got another ask and I’m in no position to be answering it ahead of everyone else’s buildup ghsjds— but just to reiterate this: Never be sorry for bothering!! We are doing this because we want to and that is the entire purpose of this blog and cmon guys respect yourselves a little more :(

Anyways this has been a PSA, I hope you are all doing well, thank you goodbye

Here’s a few of my favs!

King and Reaper - PastelClark

Allura had told them once that Voltron was their destiny.

If anything, Keith thinks, Lance had proven that while finding the lions might have been on the dime of some greater plan, compliance to their supposed fate was not strictly required in any remote sense of the word.

In fact, by Lance’s standard of doing things it was all rather bullshit.

(Or: The story of the destruction of Earth and its aftermath, feat. questionable science in regards to weapons of mass destruction, gratuitous Star Wars references, theoretical chess games with the emperor of most of the known universe, explosions, the greatest bromance of all time, the worst romance of all time, far too many guns, concussions, extreme misuse of the French language, awkward flirting, and Lance in an overly-dramatic trench coat.)

Hey there y’all! I’m Nat, and I’m the new admin! 

I’m super excited to help Catt and Wrenn with this blog, as I also read way too many Lance fics. I’ll be helping out with asks and stuff too soooo yeah. I’m new to this, so it might take me a little while to get used to running this kind of blog, but I’ll be doing my best to help out! 

Aa I thought I knew this, but alas :-( Putting it out there for you all again!!
