Reworking my shklance fic Guide and Guard. Check it out!

It's a Sentinel AU :)

A heartstring-tugging piece by the talented @rou-tan-tan for my latest chapter of Guide and Guard! <3 It’s beautiful and it hurts and I can’t stop admiring it!

There on the bed is Keith. He’s sitting on a simple cot, arms full of his guardian spirit, hiding his face in the creature’s rich auburn fur. The sight of him takes Shiro’s breath away.

“Keith.”

The boy looks up, teary-eyed, a huge smile across his face. Once he takes in the sight of the two of them, however, his smile falls.

“Lance, Shiro! What are- I thought I blocked you! It isn’t safe!”

Shiro charges forward, Lance right on his heels, sweeping Keith up into his arms. Keith gasps, and Shiro pulls back, inspecting Keith. “Did Zarkon get you? Are you hurt?” He eyes the bandages on Keith’s body, and the nasty bruise across his neck. Lance doesn’t wait, and grabs Keith from behind, toppling all three of them to the ground.

Guardian Spirits! 

A commission by the amazing, incredible, wonderful, lovely, awesome, talented @drisrt for my fic Guide & Guard!! 

It’s a Shklance Sentinel/Guide AU where Sentinels, or people with enhanced senses are supported by their Guides, and there’s a whole bunch of fun bonding and mindscapes and trust issues. Check out the snippet below!

...“Holy shit he’s our age. I’ve never SEEN him before?? Why?? How?!” 

A pained whimper from Shiro draws Lance back from full panic, and Lance quickly realizes he needs to do something or the kid AND Shiro are screwed. Shiro is leaning heavily on the bed, clearly in agony as well. This guy is emotionally projecting like CRAZY. He’s so out of control, how is Lance even going to-

“Wait, emergency bonding! Okay buddy, I got you.”

Lance closes his eyes and picks up from where Shiro left off. He keeps his hands firmly on the sides of the boy’s head, and sends the images of Shiro’s forest. He tries to recreate the smells and the sounds and the calmness and the peace. But he can only hold that scene for so long before they turn to Lance’s scene. The forest ends at a sheer cliff and overlooks a vast ocean. The mix of pine trees and salty ocean air catches on the breeze and seagulls replace the songbirds. A pinecone drops from one of the trees and falls to the ocean, insignificant and unimportant to the rest of the world. Keeping the illusion going is exhausting Lance, but he feels like he’s almost there. Eventually, tentatively, new images enter Lance’s vision. 

The sun gets hotter and a mountain grows up from the ocean. The pine trees are replaced by more tropical plants, and the dirt of the cliff turns black and rocky. The mountain continues to grow, and the heat gets hotter, and the ocean begins to steam and hiss, and then-

Lance smells the acidic air turn smokey in warning before a volcano bursts forth from the ocean and erupts in beautiful chaos.

...Message sent, Keith logs off the computer and jumps in the shower, eager to get the evidence of their latest mission off him. The running water hides the quiet emptiness of the apartment and keeps his thoughts at bay. He’s toweling off just as the front door opens and a disgruntled Shiro enters, Lance on his heels with a smile on. Shiro takes off his backpack and boots and heads to the kitchen while muttering, but Lance pauses when he sees Keith. His smile gets even bigger and turns lewd. Lance stalks forward.
