    --

    She reached forward to squeeze his hand lightly. “I'll see you soon.” With that, she went back the way she came, jumping the fence once more. “By the way, don't go to the cottage. The surprise will be outside.” Kaltenecker, who had followed her since she started to leave, lowed at her. “Hey there, sweet girl,” Leah said as she used both hands to lovingly scratch under her chin.

    Summary

    Lance tries to go about his day. But the depression sinks in as the day goes on, feeling like he could disappear and no one would notice. At least he has the animals...

    One shot written for Day 28 of Julance 2025 - Prompt: Birthday

    --

    “You're up early,” Takakura said as he made his rounds before heading off.

    “Yeah, started my birthday with some nightmares. It's great,” Lance halfheartedly joked. He straightened up, expecting a chat with the man. Takakura wasn't the greatest conversationalist, but he always gave his attention.

    But Takakura just walked away. No birthday wishes. Not a wave. None of his dismissive grunts. Nothing in the way of literally any sort of acknowledgment.

    Summary

    Lance’s posture has gone from somewhat respectable to bad to worse, and his attention span is slowly but surely reaching its breaking point, when the door in the back of the room slides open.

    Blue and gray and black. Long, dark hair. A familiar set of eyes. The same faded scar carved along his cheek.

    Lance jerks upright, nearly jumping out of his chair.

    “I’m filling in for Kolivan.”

    The words strike right through Lance’s sternum. And he didn’t even have his defenses up. He didn’t have time to prepare.

     

    Although somewhere deep down, he knows that no time in the world could’ve prepared him for seeing Keith again.

     

    or: Being stuck with his ex at a diplomatic conference for a solid month is super cool and very fun. Because Lance is over him. Obviously. He so is.

    Summary

    If anyone had told Lance that at nineteen, he’d be forced to make the difficult decision to give up going to college in favor of working three jobs to financially support his family, he wouldn’t have believed them in a million years. Even if they’d tried to tell him six months ago, the response would have remained the same. Independence was something he’d clawed out for himself as an omega in an alpha’s world; the second he’d been old enough to get a job to pay for his own things, he’d leapt at the chance, buying his first cell phone and paying for a plan out of his own pocket. The other part of it was an effort to lighten the financial load on his mother; being a single omega mother to three children wasn’t easy, which was a huge reason he was doing what he was.

    Or:

    Everything crumbles under Lance's feet. His life is a whirlwind of past trauma left untreated and new beginnings. Will Lance be able to navigate learning to trust again? Will his life ever bring more than pain?

    Summary

    “Pidge who is this guy?” Keith asks.

    “I’m Lance,” Lance responds annoyed and the two glare at each other for a bit.

    “You can cut the tension with a knife - so Keith why don’t you tell Lance about how you’re not an imperialist fire child who wants to watch the world burn? I’m sure that will ease a lot of Lance’s worries.”

    “I’m not worried, I can take him. I’m more worried about why you hang around this guy Pidge,” Lance spits out and pretends not to notice Keith visibly rolling his eyes.

    OR

    A story following Lance as he moves to Republic City and learns about the world along with his buddies that will become his lifelong friends. He will have to learn how to get along with a firebender of all people but that’s only the start…

    Summary

    Keith has never been so nervous--not while fighting the Galra, and certainly not while flying a massive metal lion--than he is to meet Lance's family. It's stupid, he thinks, being afraid of a room full of people his boyfriend adores, but he's better suited for fighting, which is why he's glad he's only staying two weeks.

    Lance is wrong three times: he thought returning home would be easy, he thought Keith had the same plans as him, and he thought he was done with the war.

    Or: when Allura dies, they don't get to say goodbye. Grief, Altean marks, and all that follows.

    Summary

    It's Rafno's first Blade mission and he's so excited, as is his dad. But it ends up being more than he and Keith both bargained for when they find an unexpected, hidden treasure...

    --

    “What happened?!” Keith pressed a few buttons on his arm and a little gold dot appeared on his screen, showing him his son's whereabouts. “I need you to tell me you're okay!” He could tell Rafno was doing his best to hold himself together and be a professional.

    “I need your help!” And then the line cut out.

    Summary

    Lance ran long before he ever flew.

    Before the Garrison, before Voltron, before saving galaxies — he was just a boy from Cuba trying to escape a life that kept clipping his wings.

    A rooftop dreamer with salt in his lungs and stars in his eyes, Lance believed he could make it out. But the night he got into the Garrison, the sky fell. His father’s fists, his mother’s screams, the sound of a life imploding. He didn’t sleep. He didn’t go back inside.

    By morning, he was gone.
    He left with nothing but a backpack, a crumpled acceptance letter, and a dream that still dared to burn — even when everything else had turned to ash.

    Summary

    It went off with a bang. From fighting an enemy who had nothing to do with him, to escaping and following his dreams, Lance is finally going to live his life.

    Except for it all to go to shit. Like everything always does.

    This time, Lance doesn’t know if he’s going to make it out alive.

    And, fuck, dude. What the hell is HE doing up in space?

     

    Or; Lance is a BAMF veteran, and Team Voltron doesn’t know.

     

    …Yet…

    Summary

    Lance McClain had spent years perfecting the art of blending in. It wasn’t just about fitting into the Voltron team—it was about hiding the truth. A truth so deep, so terrifying, that even the thought of it sent a cold shiver down his spine.

    He wasn’t just Lance, the sharpshooter of Voltron.

    He was Lance, Son of Poseidon.

    And if anyone found out, he had no idea what would happen.

    He got lucky untill Voltron had to go to a planet called Veydris-9 and guess what? The planet was 60% water.

    Summary

    “Coran, what’s happening?” Lance didn’t like how Shiro's voice shook. Was something wrong with the wormhole?

    “The integrity of the wormhole has been compromised,” Coran yelled. “We’re breaking down!”

    Lance sucked in a breath, eyes wide. Compromised? Breaking down? “What does that mean?!” He asked into the comms.

    “It means we have no control where we’re headed!”

     

    Oh no. Oh no no no no no no no.


    After narrowly escaping the Galra, a corrupted wormhole leaves Lance stranded on the other side of the galaxy. With no team, no lion, and no idea what to do, Lance must fight for survival and show the universe just who Lance McClain really is.

    Asterism (noun): a prominent pattern or group of stars, typically having a popular name but smaller than a constellation.
