I've Never Been A Natural (All I Do Is Try Try Try) by negativefouriq
Fandoms: Voltron: Legendary Defender
10 Sep 2022
Tags
Summary
“Well, you don’t look at me with fondness. Not like you look at everyone else,” Lance says matter-of-factly. Shiro winces. Lance is fair, and is completely right to say so, but it still hurts. It’s hard to be wrong.
“That was once true.”
“But it’s not true anymore?”
“I’ve been… paying better attention. Noticing some strange things, things that didn’t make sense with the person I assumed you were.”

Brought You To Tears Again (We Are The Very Hurt You Sold) by negativefouriq
Fandoms: Voltron: Legendary Defender
23 Jun 2023
Tags
Summary
“Several injuries located,” the device reads. “Ready to list and suggest treatment.”
Six pairs of eyes whip towards the Blue Paladin, varying from disappointed to scared to furious. For a moment Lance’s expression is open, shocked, deer-in-headlights, and then it shutters, replaced with something determined and endlessly, endlessly stubborn.
“I’m fine,” he insists. “If anyone comes any closer I’m going to throw a hissy fit.”
“You’re already throwing a hissy fit,” Allura points out. “When normal people are injured, they just get treated.”
Lance sets his jaw. “I’m already treated.”
Keith scowls. “Well, obviously not, because you’re hurt. Dickhead.” He reaches forward and tugs on Lance’s jacket, clearly meaning to take it off to assess further damage, but Lance hisses at him, snapping his jaw.
“Are you a fucking scorned chihuahua?” Keith demands, snatching his hand back.
“Put your hands on me again and find out.”

OR: Lance hides his injuries. The team finds out.-

We're Only One Step Away From Zombies by Un1te_Cosm0s
Fandoms: Voltron: Legendary Defender
28 Oct 2023
Tags
Summary
It's a diplomatic mission to a planet that apparently has a slight zombie problem that ends up being what tips him off. Something is going on with Lance, something that he's missing that's right within his grasp. The answer is in one of his missing memories from his time as a clone, he knows it is, he just doesn't know how to get it back. In the meantime he's left to wonder why the hell Lance would be the only one on the team other than him to be considered 'predisposed' to a zombie disease.

Legends Born Anew by Foxlace_96 (Midnight_Flyer41759)
Fandoms: Voltron: Legendary Defender
23 May 2025

Summary
(Heavily inspired by the fucking AMAZING prompt by gamergirl_lumine on tumblr)
In canon, we’re told Lance got his Altean marks as a reminder of his love for Allura.
But what if he got them through different means? What if they stood as a living memento for him to look at every time he sees his own imagine, reflecting his inherent belonging to the lions as their paladin?
His story may have begun in the sunny beaches of Varadero, but Lance has traveled far further than he ever thought he would, sprawling out across the universe with first Blue, then Red. But what if there comes a time after the original lion swap in which Keith and Shiro are both indisposed and Lance needs to step up to the plate and pilot Black?
Will she accept him? Or will the barrier remain raised once more, leaving the fate of the universe on the wrong side of history?

Summary
Lance tipped his head back and looked up at the tall ceiling of the ballroom. It was something he couldn’t help but do now that he was an experienced sniper. He followed the line of two pillars up and up, past the balcony and into the rafters. There—that was the best spot. You’d be able to see everything from there: the ballroom floor, the balcony, even the entryway all the way to the main doors.
He wasn’t expecting to see something shift though, and he watched in horror as a masked and cloaked figure appeared, lining up a rifle and pointing down into the crowd of people on the ballroom floor.
Or: A diplomatic gala takes an unexpected turn when Lance intercepts an assassination attempt on one of their allies. Leaving Lance injured and the others scrambling for answers, they enter a race against the clock to find who is responsible. They don’t know who did it, no one’s coming forward, and Lance is running out of time.

They Never Saw Us Coming ('Til They Hit The Floor) by negativefouriq
Fandoms: Voltron: Legendary Defender

Summary
“A breach.”
“Yes.”
“In security.”
“Correct.”
“Your people? A breach in security?”
“…Affirmative.”
In literally any other circumstance, Lance would get it. Hell, he’d probably be just as incredulous as Allura. Kolivan? The Blades? A security breach? Yeah, right.
Unfortunately for Lance, he is very familiar with this particular security breach.
“An unidentified individual has assumed the identity of a Blade and has been taking missions on their behalf.”
“Who’s identity did they take?” It’s Shiro who asks, this time, because Allura is struck absolutely silent by disappointed disbelief.
“They created their own false identity. Akira Romanoff.”
Yeah, Lance is real familiar with Akira Romanoff, security breach in the Blades of Marmora, mysterious person who’s been completing solo missions for the Blade right under their nose, then disappearing. He’d even say he knows this security breach personally. Incredibly personally, in fact. Lance would even say he knows this security breach better than anyone else in the universe.
Lance is the security breach.
And if the Blade of Marmora finds out… Lance doesn’t want to know what will happen.

Summary
“Kogane,” he calls. Pidge doesn’t look up, but Hunk does, pausing in his scribbles to give Lance a wide-eyed look that is promptly ignored. Keith’s head shoots up, looking startled by the use of his name, and he meets Lance’s eyes with a mostly unreadable expression. Or maybe that’s just Lance’s exhaustion speaking, he doesn’t know or care. “Come sit with us,” he offers, patting the back of the chair next to him.
Keith looks a bit like a frightened wild animal, but when Lance stares at him expectantly, he slowly starts picking up his work and piling it in his arms. He approaches their table slowly, still cautious, but sets his stuff down and pulls out the chair.
Lance slams a hand down on his worksheet, making all three of his tablemates jump. “Dude,” he says to Keith. “What in the fuckity is this saying. Do you understand this shit?”
Keith looks somewhere between taken aback, baffled, and bemused. “Um. Kind of?”
“Please. Explain.”
or, the paladins become friends long before they ride a hoverbike down a cliff together. it's lance's fault, really. studying at the garrison, birthday celebrations, and all kinds of love and laughter.

Your Touch Was A Dream (Your Absence A Nightmare) by negativefouriq
Fandoms: Voltron: Legendary Defender
11 Feb 2023
Tags
Summary
Keith has it made. He comes home from work every day to Lance’s beaming smile and gentle teasing about the grease on his clothes. He’s got everything he’s ever wanted. He’s happy. So fucking happy.
Except that things have been a little different, recently. For the past few weeks, he’s been coming home to his usual smile and kiss, but the idle chattering or excited rambles — Keith feels as if they’ve become a rarity. Their home used to be filled with the sound of Lance’s voice, silent only when he’s reading or focused intently on something, eyes narrowed and tongue peeking out of his mouth.
Lance still looks happy. He still curls up with Keith on the couch after dinner, socked feet in Keith’s lap and three million blankets over his shoulders. He still sends Keith a myriad of heart emojis on his lunch break. Their sex life has not suffered.
But the lectures. The constant infodumps of whatever passing thing has grabbed Lance’s attention. They’re gone. And Keith’s devastated about it.
He misses Lance’s voice.

I Only Got One Thing On My Mind (You) by negativefouriq
Fandoms: Voltron: Legendary Defender
29 Aug 2022
Tags
Summary
Keith feels something hot and heavy burn in his chest, looking at Lance outshine the sun, a small smile bearing just a hint of his crooked front tooth. The sounds of his friends’ laughter and the rushing of the wind as they whip down the highway, the heat of the late summer air, and Lance and Lance and Lance. He’s suddenly flooded with images of Lance’s laughter, the creases he gets next to his eyes. He imagines those lines getting deeper as Lance continues to laugh brightly and unabashedly through their lives; he imagines holding a sun-browned hand in front of the warmth of a fire in deep winter; he imagines the sound of Lance’s pacing as they fret over a mortgage; he imagines Lance’s even breathes on white sheets as the slow morning rays wake him up. He imagines the rest of his life, the rest of their life, and he sees it so clearly that he feels it reverberate in his bones, feels it in the ache of his teeth.
Oh my God, I’m going to marry you, he thinks, and the words spark along his skin in every place it touches Lance’s.

Summary
Shiro looks pleadingly to Hunk.
“Please translate,” he asks.
This is not unusual. Lance and Hunk frequently have to explain each other’s trains of thought to the team at large.
“Lance thinks he can see the future,” Hunk explains tiredly. “He is not a Seer. He just gets lucky, occasionally, and he’s observant. There is nothing I can do to convince him otherwise.”
“That’s because you’re wrong,” Lance says patiently. “I do so get visions. I told you about the mermaid planet when we were fifteen, remember?”
“Lance, you dreamed once about alien mermaids and the universe is so batshit insane that it ended up being true. That is not predicting the future.”
“Mhm, sure. And the fact that I knew the names of the mermaids we could trust was coincidence.”
“Exactly!”

OR: Lance thinks he can tell the future. That can't be right, though.

You Got My Heart (You Got My Mind) by negativefouriq
Fandoms: Voltron: Legendary Defender
24 May 2023

Summary
Before Keith can ask her why she’s pushed her way through — not that he minds, he’s happy to have her, but she hasn’t felt the need to visit him in a while so he’s curious — he feels another presence almost knock on his subconscious, request access to his mindscape.
Red has…brought someone else?
Can she do that?
Red looks at him flatly, like his doubt is a personal offence. Before she can start admonishing him, the presence pushes again; not urgent, but insistent, almost as if someone is knocking on the door of Keith’s mind and doesn’t want to be ignored.
Beyond curious, Keith lets them in.
The second Keith opens his mental door, it’s like they rush in, flowing in like the white rapids of a river, strong and fast and excited, cool and bubbly. There’s so much of them that it takes Keith a good couple of minutes to conceptualise just who exactly has followed Red into Keith’s mind. The rushing water takes shape into a person; tall, gangly, broad-shoulders with a mop of curly brown hair and bright brown eyes, freckles spotted over their nose and grin wide and sparking.
Keith gapes.
“Lance?!”

What's The Worst That I Can Say? (Things Are Better If I Stay) by negativefouriq
Fandoms: Voltron: Legendary Defender
24 May 2023
Tags
Summary
“Hey, look at that.” He points to a small, budding yellow flower dotting the base of a tree. “That’s hairflower. They grow at the bases of confler trees, because the confler trees always host sodiko birds, which are their biggest pollinators. Cool, huh?”
“How do you know all this stuff?” she blurts, barely letting him finish his sentence. Some of her earlier frustration bleeds into her voice, but luckily it doesn’t sound too accusatory. “I don’t — we’re not even on Earth, but somehow you recognise all the random wildlife. Nature is supposed to be my element. I don’t — I don’t know why I’m struggling so bad when you have it so easy.”
Lance trips over his feet, slightly, stumbling. He removes his arm from her shoulders, stuffing his hands in his pockets. His shoulders hike up somewhere near his ears, hunching his posture.
Guilt churns in her stomach.
“Lance, I didn’t mean —”
Did she?
What did she mean?
“I’m not dumb,” he says quietly.
She swallows. “I know.”

Summary
Lance stands in the middle of the ballroom, staring up at the skylight, at the stained glass arranged in a dizzyingly beautiful pattern. The walls are encrusted with gold and jewels and all sorts of gaudy decor, because Lance stands in the most expensive manor in the known universe, Veli Atarang.
"What are you doing?!" A voice yells, familiar, as the owner of said voice grabs his hand. He recognises it's Lotor, hands soft and brash. He absentmindedly wishes it was Keith. Regardless, he doesn't move an inch. Lance is enraptured. A moth to a flame.
Literally.
The ballroom is on fire.
OR
The new old Black Paladin has ulterior motives that no one else seems to see, the runaway Galran prince isn't as bad as he seems, and Keith is somewhere. Slowly, Lance begins to realise that maybe it was a good thing he made all those friends across the universe.
OR OR
All is not right in the Voltron Coalition. Good thing Lance is here to do something about it.

Summary
Lance knows something’s wrong.
Keith turns his gaze on him, dark eyes latching onto him like an anchor.
Normally this is when Lance can think of something stupid to say to make Keith smile. Bonus points if he can get a laugh. Usually it isn’t hard — smiles come easy when it’s them. But something is wrong, and Lance knows that Keith’s smile will be the farthest thing from him if he says it.
