so like. how do u feel abt "pull the trigger piglet" saving this dudes life

OKAY WAIT THIS IS SO FUNNY KSJDKSK cause imagine the confrontation with the rest of the team there too just living for the drama like

keith: LANCE!! what did you do to my gloves??

lance, playing dumb: i didn't know you had gloves

pidge, already eating popcorn: what did lance do now?

keith: he took my fucking gloves and replaced them with these! *shows them the cut off fingers*

hunk, through laughter: oh, man - he replaced your fingerless gloves with gloveless fingers

lance: while that is, admittedly, comedic genius, you have absolutely no proof that this was me and i resent being automatically blamed. even if it does mean i get credit where it's due

and then keith is literally about to kill lance when shiro walks in and keith is like THANK GOD someone with common sense. but when he shows shiro the gloveless fingers with a "look what lance did to my gloves", his brother literally just looks at them, shrugs, and goes "not much difference, honestly." and keith's jaw drops in absolute betrayal as lance dissolves in laughter

hey speaks whats upp and thanks v much for the recs! ive read that first one and loved it but havent heard of the second one! will 100% give it a read this week. also ty for ur kind words abt the blog <33 - karri

I live in a hologram with you by basicallymonsters (2/2 | 18,930 | Explicit)

Lance is gone. Lost in the plunging gaps between astral bodies, sewn into an invisible seam in spacetime. Missing, for two long years. It’s impossible, to think of the time he's already lost with him. Time passes strangely in a war, and stranger still in space. Stars gasp their dying breaths and ripe dust clouds give birth to whole planetary systems. Some light reaches them with its centuries-old fingers and some can’t weather the journey. So many beings shiver and die. Lance would be twenty now. He tries not to think about it.

Keith can't bring himself to grieve when he knows Lance is still out there. Instead, he follows versions of him down holographic rabbit holes, trying to pry closure out of his memories, and losing himself to an obsession with the simulated landscapes where Lance was never lost.

Always Messing With the Big Guns by utlaginn (7/10 | 36,028 | Explicit)

Keith’s slow retreat from Team Voltron is complicated by many things: not least of which is his abrupt hookup with one Lance McClain.

(speaks!! what a joy to see you in my inbox 💕)

L: What’s the weirdest AU you’ve ever come up with?

I gotta admit I’m generally pretty tame with AUs, but I was at one point writing a doctor/mafia hybrid (which is also par for the course in the foxhole court fandom so perhaps I can be excused 👀 ) Not that wild, but I’ve been meaning to write a Russian Doll-esque time loop au where the world starts to come apart with every repeat, bc I love the idea of two characters left at the twilight zone end of everything, and someone’s gotta die, like that’s FUN. I had a whole midas touch story drafted bc the potential for yearning is immense, and I also really want to write a gravity!au where characters are surviving adrift in space!

S: Any fandom tropes you can’t resist?

Already answered BUT let me use this opportunity to talk about some of my favourite AUs: pirates, pacific rim, a:tla, superheroes, childhood friends to lovers, fighting couple/knights, well-researched historical settings a la mythology or pride and prejudice, time travel..... hit me with your recs I dare you

Y: A character you want to protect.

okay....... so extremely many, I’ll just hammer through some fandoms if you’ll  indulge me:

nicky aftg, who is very tender-hearted and misguided, and of all the headstrong foxes I think he most deserves a steadying hand; gansey trc, who is so new to feeling love that he doesn’t know how to regulate it, so he’s too much and too detached all at once (I know fandom hates him, I know, I’m sorry, he’s under my wing, you can’t do anything about it); lance voltron, the most blustery insecure whirlwind, with the strongest roots and the shakiest branches, I want to gently wrest his self-sacrifice complex from his hands :) 

Also adora from she ra, jesper from six of crows, sokka from a:tla, pat from tsoa, taako from TV, anne with an E, etc, I think there’s something about motherless children who really believe they’ve got everything under control when they absolutely don’t.

I’m blanking on characters from cool & hip media which I um. for sure also consume 😬

YOURE CORRECT TO BE PROUD THEY ARE SO GOOD

KAI HAVE I TOLD UYOU LATELY THAT I LOVE YOU?

Lance and Keith only have each other in this fic preview from @speakswords
