Galra!Keith and Galra!Lance in the Blade of Marmora

Dudes... I made this months ago and was trying to make a speedpaint video with this, but it failed miserably when I got a new laptop 

his favorite teacher besides kollivan is an older buffer galra woman who pats his head and calls him “kid” all the time. kollivan himself calls him “The Good Shot” or something in Galran that when they hear it no one one understands accept Coran he gets like..whiplash. Because Lance feeling inadequate and seeing the Blades as a good solution IS MY JAM.

“kollivan mostly referred to lance whenever he said “paladins” so you try to tell me he doesnt see lance as the authority figure in the groupd once shiro’s gone..

“ THE BOM RODE IN BLUE. All of them in blue! Lance was the one who stood up for them, not Hunk who could have just as easily like he’s done with Keith. And this season is set some short time so we could even g so far to say that the team has spent some time for BoM, Now, im not saying Lance is acting as a good go between for the aliens they save and the Blades…BUT LANCE IS DEFINITELY WORKING CLOSER WITH THEM THAN EVEN KEITH IS… “

“ Now…I’m not saying Lance- wanting to improve his worth as a paladin and keep his spot on the team against SHIRO and ALLURA…he would go to Kollivan and genuinely request training. BUT IM SAYING YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT BOM LANCE BECAUSE I HAVENT STOPPED THINKING ABOUT IT “

“ lance learns hand to hand from the blade, they hesitate at first because hes human and not even half galra…but he comes to them before even one of their own does…they also appreciate the fact he actually LEARNS from them and he wants to learn. he doesnt give them as much lip and its clear that he’s the new leader of the team even when hes not “

“ kollivan when asking about the coalition goes to lance first from now on. sure he treats allura with the same respect but in terms of inter species relationships he just skips the bull and asks lance for his opinion. when theres a big meeting and everyone swapped lions and keith and allura are arguing over plans- he turns to lance and they have a whisper convo and decide between themself what to do “

“ but like- imagine the blade getting somewhat attached to the squishy human. they could even be “fond” of him. NICKNAMES… “

Lance is the first person to figure out how to modify his Bayard. He also has the strongest connection to any of lions- his qualities as a leader go completely noticed and Kollivan gives him a nickname (its a very offhanded comment after a particularly harrowing meeting where the aliens were threatening war because voltron worked with the blade but Lance had stood up and calmly but FIERCELY advocated for the BoM)

The name pretty much translates to a rough form of “Honorary Family Member” and “One of Us”

The other blades give him “Looks” but he gives them “His Own Look” and soon enough most of them call Lance by it and he’s hella confused hut it sounds cool so he rolls with it.

Coran pulls him to the side though and explains, and Lance doesn’t cry then but in his room he does because “WOW’ 

In return for the gesture he makes it a point to refer to the blades as “part of the team unconditionally” and he fights tooth and nail for them to be accepted by others. He really doesn’t know how else he can return the gesture because it means that much to him...

Imagine that theres a pretty big battle. Lance gets knocked down because keith put him in the wrong spot and he knew it was wrong but he didnt want to argue with keith. 

he gets knocked down and his bayard goes flying and everyone just like..PAnics...because its almost certain injury or worse and and and

And Lance growls, grappling with his attacker and thrwing some pretty gnarly punches. He fights so differently now, its wider and also more controlled. He fights like a Blade now and it shows and he summons  his bayard back because thats something he been secretly working on- not only that but he took off from the idea of modifyinghis weapon of choice to making an entirely different weapon  in this case somethng more ideal for close quarter combat.

By the end of it, the whole team realizes they’ve missed something. something BIG.

Because Lance is huffing and puffing and moving lifeless bodies out of his way like their simple annoyances- he flicks his bayard back to his side and gathers up whatever got dropped. Someone wearing the blade armor and helmet comes barreling through and puts him in like..this weirdly friendly headlock- saying things like “Atta boy! You did a decent number on them kid.”

Kollivan shows up, gets a brief description- he grins, a full toothy grin thats sorta unnerving on a normally stoic face. He claps Lance on the shoulder and unlike the weeks/months prior Lance doesnt sway or bow over he just laughs and nods along easily morphing into the conversing galra.

kollivan when asking about the coalition goes to lance first from now on. sure he treats allura with the same respect but in terms of inter species relationships he just skips the bull and asks lance for his opinion. when theres a big meeting and everyone swapped lions and keith and allura are arguing over plans- he turns to lance and they have a whisper convo and decide between themself what to do

Now...I'm not saying Lance- wanting to improve his worth as a paladin and keep his spot on the team against SHIRO and ALLURA...he would go to Kollivan and genuinely request training. BUT IM SAYING YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT BOM LANCE BECAUSE I HAVENT STOPPED THINKING ABOUT IT
