#voltron langst

3rd Nov, 2017

I found a beautifully written, unfinished Langst fix in my Google docs from last year. And. Omg it’s so good. It was JUST getting so good. But I have NO QUIZNAKING CLUE where I was going with it. But I wanna finish it, so I am calling to the Tumblr void in hopes that at least on person out there can give me a hand in brainstorming.

Basically, Lance gets hit by this weird supersonic new Galra tech that emits a rlly loud noise that fucks up his ears and stuns him. He recovers initially and is okay enough, they win the fight, he still has a bit of a headache but they go home and go to bed.

He wakes up the next morning and realizes the headache is worse, but the planet wants to celebrate Voltron so he doesn’t say anything, grits and bears it, whatever. However, each super loud noise seems to, little by little, make the headache worse. (It’s also important to note that in telepathic conversations with Blue she seems to note something is wrong. This isn’t just sensitivity to the noise and prolonged pain. She can sense something amiss)

My main concern with continuing this fic is: where tf was I gonna have this go? What magical only partially scientifically relevant thing was gonna happen to him? What’s ACTUALLY wrong with him? Or, at the very least, what’s a good place you think it could go to now?

I’m not expecting this to get much of a response, but I figured I’d shoot my shot anyways.

Edit: After sleeping on it a few more details have returned to my memory. I vaguely remember envisioning a scene where Lance got super dizzy and disoriented and had to like secretly step out of the celebration for a moment.

And then there was nothing.

And then there was Allura. And nothing again.

Even now, I remember that nothingness well. I remember the pull I felt towards Allura and fading back out. I remember waking up. I remember the day after and the day after that.

I didn’t tell anyone. No one asked.

I died and no one asked.

first drawing is a scene redraw, pic under cut

you crazy ass cosmonaut remember your virtue

redemption lies plainly in truth

just humour us, achilles

A situation where somehow all of the paladins have their worst insecurities and aspects personfied. Like a clone of them but all the bad parts

Pidge’s is wearing a ‘Sporting Coach’ outfit as it scream at her to HURRY UP AND FIND YOUR FAMILY ALREADY GO GO GO THEYRE PROBABLY DEAD RN BECAUSE YOURS SO SLOW

Hunk’s is magnetic somehow, and is forcing Hunk away from even the tiniest thing that scares him.

Keith’s is a feral galra, wild with pure RAGE

Shiro’s is normal, except has hundreds of thousands of pounds tied onto his back, and keeps managing to climb onto Shrio’s back.

But Lance’s is just, a normal clone? At first its hard to tell who’s the clone, because when he’s around the real Lance looks just as mirserable as the other paladins do with their clones. But after a while it clicks:

Lance’s clone is so similar to the real Lance, because the real Lance hates everything about himself.

He's very self conscious about his appearance due to past relationships

He's really good at getting babies to stop crying due to helping with his niece and nephew

His bi awakening was hunk he didn't have a crush on him but his kindness and just seeing him shirtless gave him his queer awakening

One time after training he saw keith shirtless and had to turn away because he got really flustered and turned away *season 7*

He knows most of the dark reasoning behind most nursery rhymes

He has nightmares about his home in which hunk has told him to come to wake him up and cuddle with him (he does every time)

Lance sometime doesn't eat on purpose due to his low self confidence

He gossips an ungodly amount

(Lots of Coran and Lance bonding because Coran is the best uncle :))

When Lance was 10, he was locked out of his first room in the castle. It was his parent's–King Alfor & Queen Melenor–office. He'd been caught by a maid scribbling family portraits on very important legal documents.

Allura thought it was hilarious. She knew her twin brother was a trouble maker, but she never thought he'd actually get banned from a room. Melenor believed he had it coming, but that didn't mean she wasn't a twinge upset that her son wouldn't be bursting into the office sharing whatever strange fact he learned that day, usually regarding unique Galra behaviors.

The next thing Lance is banned from is meetings. Well, just the meeting room in general. He was 15, and it might've effected him more than he'd ever admit to his father. Or his mother. Or even Allura.

But the one person he did admit it to was Coran. His father's right-hand man. His best friend, his- well, Lance wasn't exactly sure what they were, but he didn't press it.

After he'd been kicked out of meetings, Lance had been sentenced to a constant monitor to make sure he wasn't causing any problems. That monitor was Coran. At first, Lance hated it. He hated being babysat like he couldn't take care of himself.

But it didn't take long for Coran's helicopter parenting to calm down. Eventually, he'd just wander around the castle, blabbering on about how much things had changed since he was younger, and despite the pulling feel in his stomach to wander off, Lance followed. He helped Coran with repairs, and even had his interest in Galra etiquette renewed when the older Altean mentioned them.

His happy days didn't last more than a few months, though. After Lance was banned from two more things.

First, it was family photos. After a particularly infuriating photo shoot, where Lance had refused to make a straight face, Alfor pulled him aside and announced that he didn't want Lance in the photos until he could learn to behave himself. So, never.

Hearing his father's words made Lance want to break down, sobbing and begging for his forgiveness, but he didn't. Instead, he made a sarcastic comment and ran off before the king could see how hurt he was.

Unfortunately for King Alfor, banning his son had the opposite effect of what he'd hoped for. Lance began acting out more instead of less, and his stunts became more and more chaotic.

Rumors about the Royal Alteans began to spread, and after an especially great show involving a lot of illegal drinks and a public appearance from the prince, Alfor knew he had to step in.

He approached Lance about a week before the twin's birthday. Lance was told that at the end of the birthday party, the king would make an announcement.

At the end of the day, Lance would be sent to a border patrol ship at the edge of Altea's reign. Which was a far distance from the atmosphere itself.

Lance almost laughed. Sure, he'd been a bit of a handful as of late, but he didn't think that it was that bad. But the king made it clear his mind was made up. He said that Lance could return to the ground as soon as he proved himself.

So, on his 16th birthday, Lance was banned from one final place.

His planet. His home. The Castle of Lions.
