Ooh how about Adashi for 4?
“Please never stop smiling.” Adashi. This is the dreamy, spiritual successor to this ficlet, which I’ve been wanting to re-visit. :D So some implied Shurtis, side Klance and angsty exes ahoy! (Happy ending though)
“Well, you look terrible,” Adam says. “You’re not gonna smile even on your wedding day? Not that it would help that much. Because, yeah you look awful.”
“Thanks,” Shiro rolls his head back against the pillows.
“I’m not here to lie to you Takashi,” Adam sips his coffee. “Apparently I’m here to whisk you away to wedded bliss.”
Shiro throws a pillow over his head. “Whyyy aren’t you Keith?”
“Something to do with a fork in the garbage disposal, he’s been in the ER with Lance all night. They got his finger back on, don’t worry.”
“… He really think I would buy that excuse for sending my ex-fiancé to pick me up and take me to my wedding?”
“Or he’s dumb enough that he really risked his pinky to engineer this, do you want to see the pictures he uploaded?”
Shiro groans, sitting up on his arms. There’s a cup of coffee on the side table next to the bed. Probably the same stuff Adam’s drinking.
They always took their coffee the same. Black, three sugars.
“Just tell me he’s only trying to force us to re-kindle a friendship, and he’s not punishing us because he knows we’ve been fooling around ever since the engagement party?”
“I mean, I got here early enough that we can sneak in a quickie?” Adam smirks.
“Am I just supposed to get up there and smile and say a bunch of vows after…” Shiro pulls his shirt off as if its second nature. “I’m a terrible person.”
“You’re not–”
**
Shiro blinks.
He’s not in bed.
He’s sitting next to Adam on the carpeted floor of his apartment. Adam is clutching his sides, moaning about stomach pangs. They’re both wearing tuxedos, but the ties have been pulled loose and buttons undone. Adam’s belt is un-buckled.
“What was that?” he asks.
“My body punishing me for eating beluga fucking caviar,” Adam hiccups. “Rich people food is the worst. I can taste the endangered species kicking me in the spleen. I deserve it. I deserve all this pain.”
“You don’t,” Shiro shakes his head.
“I might as well of had shark-fin soup and Condor eggs Benedict.”
Shiro looks down at his left hand.
There’s no ring.
His prosthetic is around Adam’s shoulders. Ring-free as well.
“What?” Adam asks. “Are you smiling at my suffering?”
“Does the name ‘Curtis’ mean anything to you?” he asks.
“Uhhh, like Curtis Mayfield? The singer?” Adam cocks his head. “Or the dude on the Atlas who hit on you and Keith threatened to knife him because you’re taken? Gosh, we raised that boy right. Krolia doesn’t get credit for that one.”
Shiro laughs, hard enough to make his eyes tear up.
“What is with you, all giddy and shit? How much champagne did you get?”
“I feel like I just woke up on the better side of a dream.”
**
“Just smile. Please, never stop smiling,” Adam says through clenched teeth. “Otherwise your fiancé is gonna punch me.”
Shiro blinks back to life. Curtis is shutting the door, and it’s the engagement party again. The moment Adam decided to get too drunk and roasted them both and ran off to vomit. The moment Curtis found Shiro taking care of him in the hotel room.
There’s paths unfolding in front of him. Directions everything can take. Lying and cheating and denying and sublimating.
“I have to do a bad thing to a good person,” Shiro says, taking off his engagement ring. “I’m not going to smile for a long time.”
“I have pictures of Lance with his tongue stuck on the ice-sculpture. Would that help?”
Shiro tries to hide a grin. “I’m a terrible person.”
“Same,” Adam says. “I lost the best guy in the universe because I am a bitter, possessive, grudge-holding, irrationally jealous jerk.”
“Well, I’m about to break the heart of the real best guy in the universe,” Shiro sighs. “Because I lied to myself, pretended I could be good enough for someone better than me. When I’m an indecisive, broken person who–”
“Takashi,” Adam interrupts. “Put the ring back on. Go downstairs, smile and be happy. Nothing happened, so you have nothing to apologize for.”
“But I want something to happen.”
“Why?”
“I don’t like smiling and pretending I don’t want to wake up next to you every damn day.”
Adam scoffs. “Needy.”
“Messy drunk.”
“Indecisive lunkhead.”
“Salty Sandra.”
“Drama queen.”
“Said the guy who roasted his ex at the engagement party.”
“Said the guy who’s gonna pull a last-minute rom-com style ‘here’s your ring back’ breakup so he can try and get back together with his loser ex.”
Shiro looks over his shoulder.
“You do look like garbage.”
Adam smiles. “And you still want this?”
“I want you puking beluga caviar in my lap, yeah.”
“Huh?”
**
Shiro is drinking a beer in the empty ballroom when it’s all over.
Lance sits down next to him.
“Keeth thaid you’d be thitting here.”
Shiro furrows his brow. Lance takes the bandage off his tongue.
“Keith said you’d be sitting here, I’m supposed to make sure you’re not wallowing or I have to lick the ice-sculpture from the bat mitzvah across the hall to cheer you up.”
“Did he tell you to lick the first one?”
“… No?”
Shiro shakes his head. “At least it wasn’t a fork in the garbage disposal.”
“He’s really weird right now. He’s protective of you and Adam at the same time and I think it’s making him short circuit. Not that he’s the paragon of excellent spur-of-the-moment decision making to begin with.”
“But you’re not that type of impulsive,” Shiro says, sipping the beer. “Why’d you go along with it?”
“I love him,” Lance shrugs. “Doing dumb things to make him smile is part of the deal.”
“Just don’t let him risk a finger, okay?”
“Are you going to get back together with Adam?”
“I don’t know if he’ll let me. He’s got this crazy idea that I should stay with Curtis instead of doing something dumb and impulsive because I love him.”
“Well… if you need a way to prove to him you’re dumb and in love, I have an idea?”
**
Adam’s smile is the best thing he’s ever seen.
“Who the hell gets an ice-sculpture of a Squirrel holding a giant acorn?” Keith shakes his head.
Lance shrugs. “I’m just glad it’s not my tongue this time.”
“Thaa-daaa!” Shiro says with his tongue firmly affixed to the ice-nut.
“Well congratulations Takashi, you’re not a drama queen or a rom-com cliche. You’re just an idiot.”
“Thays the thude in luff wiff this thidiot.”
“Okay, true. Someone help get my idiot’s mouth off of the thirteen year old girl’s nut so we can go have hot, messy rekindling our relationship sex upstairs before the hotel kicks us out?”
**
“You have the best smile,” Takashi says, kissing Adam’s neck. “Never stop smiling.”

I’m not going to lie to you I am 100% pulling these headcanons from the spam of messages i sent @waywardpadaleski but I saw Voltron Hogwarts AUs floating around and I decided to make headcanons because I love this idea ive also doodled stuff and may post some or write something just not rn
OKAY SO
pretty much the houses just go with their lions— but lance is special snowflake im sorry i know i sound like one of those uber annoying lance stans that shove da boi down everyones throats i cant help it i love him but bare with me this makes sense
Okay so Keith is in Gryffindor because ofc he would
Pidge is Slytherin
Hunk is Hufflepuff
Allura is totally a Ravenclaw
What about Lance, you ask? Well u know how JK Rowling said that there’s things called “Hat Stalls” where people took longer than 5 min to get sorted???
Ye well Lance is one of THOSE
It would work with canon if you think about it because he kinda is stuck between the red lion and the blue lion and like-- I know keef is the same way with the black lion but shush
SO ANYWAYS
the sorting hats dilemma is that he’s smart and has the means to excel in Ravenclaw, but at the same time he’s outrageously brave like a Gryffindor
(MY BOI IS SMART FITE ME)
So the hat doesn’t know what to put him in
Then the sorting hat comes to the conclusion that while he could do great in Ravenclaw, he wouldn’t reach his full potential unless he was a Gryffindor (*COUGH* LIKE CANON)
Sooooo-- Pidge is like a year or two behind Hunk, Lance, and Keith because y’know, shes younger and stuff and she kinda gets into the group because of her older brother
THATS RIGHT MATTS HERE
So Matt is a Ravenclaw and him and Shiro are besties ofc
(Shiros Gryffindor sorry I forgot to mention it)
Matt was also a Hat Stall because when i was thinking about his house i couldn’t decide between Ravenclaw, Slytherin, or Gryffindor
But he’s Ravenclaw cuz it fits in with an Adashi thing im gonna bring up later
ANYWAYS
Shiro is also Keith’s older brother, they’re not biological siblings, its just Keefs dad was friends with shiros parents and when he passed away the Shiroganes adopted him
Shiro is ANNOYED because Keith and Lance are always fighting with each other in the commons and he just wants to read his book in peace
Now here comes the Adashi
Okay okay so Adam is Ravenclaw
I know we barely know anything about Adam (*glares at s7*) BUT based on stuff and how the fanon Adam is, I’m saying he’s Ravenclaw
So anyways
Let’s get to Quidditch because that’s part of the Adashi part of this AU
Keef is a Gryffindor Seeker because like-- he go vroom
I lowkey am making Lance a Keeper not only cuz he would be good at it but also cuz of those cheesy shirts that say things like “He’s a Keeper” and “She’s a Catch”
Shiro is a Chaser
Pidge and Hunk I think would be Beaters???? Idk
OH! James Griffin is also a Slytherin Seeker byeeee
Adam is the Ravenclaw Keeper
Headcanon is if theres one thing Lance and Adam have in common, its that they can make people flustered very easily
So ya know what Adam does, much to Shiro’s annoyance???
He flirts with him
Whenever they have games that are Ravenclaw vs. Gryffindor Adam will flirt with Shiro, winking at him, yelling stuff across the field, making Shiro so flustered he can’t throw straight (pun intended)
One time Adam gets Shiro so flustered he drops the ball
Matt, a Beater, high fives him
OH! Also Allura is a Chaser and she’s like the best Chaser in the school FITE ME
Okay thats enough of quidditch
Okay so as for family lineage and stuff
Shiro, Lance, and Hunk are muggleborns
They just are
Shiro’s parents knew about Magic because of keef and were surprised when they found out Shiro was a wizard
Lance is the only wizard in his family and he gets homesick a lot because he’s the only one who goes to Hogwarts and he misses his siblings and stuff
But he always brings niece and nephew home stuff from Hogsmade that he thinks they’ll like
Hunk, Lance, and Shiro meet because Hogwarts started a club during the summer for Muggleborns where they can meet and talk about concerns with Hogwarts and magic and stuff with other muggleborns that are older
So Lance and Hunk soon become really close friends and Shiro is kinda their advisor and stuff
Anyways
Keith is a Halfblood, which makes sense because i mean he’s half galra on the show so
His mom was a witch, and idk if im going to have her run away for something or die?? I mean I kinda want her to run away cuz of something so they can be reunited but i have no idea what it would be unless this was during the time of harry potter and it had something to do with Voldemort but i kinda want to stay away from all that so ye
Pidge and Matt are purebloods
But they’re not the stuck up purebloods
They’re literally the Weasleys
Sam has a fascination with muggle technology that Pidge and Matt share
So like, they have a lot of fancy tech
Pidge and Matt snuck a DS on campus and play Zelda at meals
Allura is probably a Pureblood but shes way less snooty, maybe even compared to her parents
As for teachers
Coran is Herbology teacher or something???
Alfor is Defense against the Dark Arts maybe??? I don’t know either him or Zarkon
Haggar is obviously the potions teacher
ANYWAYS
Everyone hates Lotor cuz his parents are teachers and he’s a teachers pet
But back to Haggar in potions
So she’s like the slytherin head thing or whatever they were
so yknow she’s biased
and it doesnt help that her son is also slytherin
(also Zarkon is a Gryffindor sorryyyyy)
(This also could play into keith or lance’s story by them being compared to Zarkon or something and it unsettling them)
(This just in-- I think Zarkon should be the voldemort)
(oh shoot im getting sidetracked with imagining zarkon as voldemort and lance as harry potter)
(help)
ANYWAYS
So ofc she sees that Lance and Keith are always at each others throat
and makes them potions partnets
because it makes it easier for them to get in trouble because they keep fighting and then she can take points from gryffindor
ANYWAYS
The one day they are tasked with making Amortentia, right??
Oh god this is so mcfreaking cliche im sorry
So Keef and Lonce are there, both tired from studying or something so already they’re cranky and half asleep
So they’re making the potion right?
And lance just coughs, a look of disgust on his face
“What?” Keef says. Lance plugs his nose.
“U stink, Keith.” And throughout potions class Lance keeps complaining that Keith smells really bad or something or he used too much cologne idk
Ofc like Pidge is in that class and shes snickering
Lance turns to her like “WHAT IS IT PIDGE”
She asks him if he knows what the potion is supposed to do
He’s just like “It makes people fall in love with u.”
“Yes but what else?” Both keith and Lance stare at her blankly. She explains that when u smell it you smell what u love most
Both keef and lances eyes widen
For the first time in forever they’re quite the entire period
Keith has a gay panic
Lance has a bi panic
they are disasters
Shiro confronts pidge after that day
“Pidge what did u do to keef and lonce they’re broken”
Pidge is all like, “Excuse me????”
“They’re being nice to each other.”
Hunk, who is also there, just snorts
“Pls explain this to me,” Shiro says, exasperated
Pidge explains the Amortentia scene
Shiro just laughs because of course they were in love with each other
(it lowkey reminds him of him and Adam)
(okay now i have theories that the reason why they made Adam shiro’s boyfriend is because its meant to mirror OTHER ships in voltron *cough* KLANCE and its foreshadowing or something i mean adam does look like lance and shiro and keith are sorta similar)
(shut up candy back to the AU)
Hunk admits that Lance has had a crush on keeth for like ever but he keeps saying its just a rivalry thing
Actual conversation between the two:
“And what’s up with his hair?? It’s like straight out of the 80′s and he has all the bangs over his eyes like an EMO like why is he trying to hide his eyes?” Lance blushes because he’s thinking about how beautiful Keefs eyes are. “Like why? Why is his hair like that i dont understand?? And what does he do to it why is it so soft???”
“You’ve touched his hair?”
“Yeah I was trying to see if I’m taller than him yet” Hunk was just confused but then Lance kept talking about keiths hair and he let it slip when it was like, almost 3am that keiths hair made him look pretty and lance would never be able to make that look good on himself, then immediately said something about the one time keef blew something up in first year because hes an idiot as a coverup
So hunk has known for some time
Even when lance didn’t know
So for the next couple weeks keith and lance act kinda weird around each other
because they don’t know how to handle feelings
they mostly avoid each other, standing on opposite ends of the room and glaring at each other
but of course that doesnt help them at all because for some reason they share a room
(oh my god they were roommates)
The rest of the boys in the room are angry because of all the sexual tension its giving them anxiety and they started sleeping in the commons
I actually have no idea who the other three boys would be because one of them couldnt be shiro because hes older and everyone else is in different houses so
At one point keith just blurts “Whats wrong with you?”
Lance gets all defensive because he takes it in a different way than Keith meant and thought Keith was saying he was flawed or something and he was broken and...
heres the langst
Lance just starts to get upset and is yelling saying nothing is wrong with him and he almost starts to cry because he’s just so confused and doesn’t know whats going on and he feels like hes not good enough for Gryffindor and
He has a lot of emotions
And he says all this, starting to ramble through tears, pouring all of his emotions out
Keef is shook
he doesn’t know what to do Lance never acted like this in front of him before and he’s never seen lance like this, so self conscious and doubting himself
Keith doesn’t know how lance could even think these things because in his eyes-- lance is perfect
Lance has always been so much better at magic than he was
and He’s so confident and such a good Keeper
He gingerly touches Lance’s shoulder.
“Lance I--” Keith doesn’t know what words to say, but apparently he doesn’t need to say any
Lance wraps his arms around him, burying his face in his shoulder, sniffling
Keith is surprised at first because u know keef
He doesn’t know how to react when someone hugs him
He gently hugs lance back, resting his head on Lances and running his fingers through his hair
Lance calms down, his breathing slowing and seeming more relaxed
when he does, keith tries his best to tell him how great he thinks lance is and how hes jealous and all that
Lance pulls away, rubbing his eyes.
“You mean it?” Keith nods solemnly, not looking at Lance. Lance touches his cheek, causing him to look back up, his brows knit together in confusion
Lance doesn’t know why, but he kisses him
(*klance fangirl in me starts screaming*)
and just??? the moment feels perfect to both of them? This was someone they always thought of as a rival, were always jealous of, and were always thinking about. They never truely understood their feelings for each other, until now
Shiro doesn’t comment when they walk into the dinning hall the next morning holding hands
But Pidge sure does
Okay im trying to think of more headcanons involving people other than Shiro, Keith, and Lance because i love all the characters and they deserve attention
Hunk makes friends with two other Hufflepuff girls
he he he yall know who it is
SHAY AND ROMELLE
MY GURLS
Shay and Romelle have been friends since they were first years and Shay yelled at Lotor for making fun of Romelle
they’ve been besties ever since
Hunk meets Shay and Romelle in Herbology because in like maybe 5th year or something Hufflepuff house was taught Herbology with the Slytherins. Every year before that it was either with Ravenclaw or Gryffindor so he would pair with Lance, Keith, Allura, or Shiro
Pidge was a year or two bellow him so they didn’t have classes together in case u were wondering
For the specific thing they needed a group of three and even though Hunk is a pretty nice guy and can make friends with everyone, everyone sorta had their trio
Because ofc he can find a PARTNER that was left out of their group of three, but suddenly they’re paired off in threes and there’s no sad loner who has no friends.
Shay and Romelle have an opening in their group
Hunk goes to work with them
They’re honestly the cinnamon roll squad and when Hunk introduces them to his friends Lance and Pidge immediately nickname them that
Hunk quickly falls in love with Shay
Like deeply in love
He’s always complimenting her and laughing at what she says
Romelle keeps trying to tell Shay that he likes her but Shay just goes “he’s just a nice person, Elle”
The Yule ball comes around ofc
and at this point Lance and Keith are dating
This is probably around.... Sixth year I want to say?
So here’s the line up
Keith and Lance go to the dance together
Shiro asks Adam in like this grand way and Adam is just like “wait we weren’t going together before??”
Matt doesn’t have a date but he invites Pidge because she threatened him (she wants to take pictures of Klance and Adashi acting cute and coupley to use as blackmail and Matt supports it)
Hunk starts freaking out because he really really really wants to ask Shay but he doesn’t know how
Lance gives him a pep talk, saying that she obviously likes him of course she’ll say yes
Hunk is still nervous
Lance is all like “C’mon asking your crush out isnt that bad if she says no she says no, but if she says yes then you get an awesome date.”
“Says the one who had a crush on his boyfriend since second year and covered it up as a rivalry.” Lance looks offended.
“You need to stop hanging out with Pidge.”
Lance decides to be Hunks wingman and starts asking Shay things like “You planning on going to the Yule Ball?” and “What do you think of Hunk?” He sees that she is very much interested and repots this to Hunk
He helps Hunk come up with a way to ask her
And its like the sweetest thing Romelle is in on it and she gives some stupid excuse as to why she cant study for herbology with them
then her and lance hide behind a bookshelf, giggling
Hunk gets super flustered
But he manages to ask her
Shay also gets really flustered
But says yes
oof okay thats three of my big ships canon now for the fourth.
When Hunk first introduces Allura to Romelle, her first thought is “Her. I want to date Her.”
Now Lance and Allura have already come out to each other as bi disasters
It actually happened when Lance got with Keith and they were talking about him, doing facials (they take care of their skin with each other fite me)
And Lance is just like “Yeah so I guess I like guys and girls” and allura is like “YOU CAN DO THAT” and lance is like “yeah????” and hes not sure if shes being biphobic or what and hes scared for like 0.1 second
and then allura just goes “Oh my god lonce i think i like guys and girls too”
And then they just start laughing
I guess I should also mention that they dated at one point too???
I don’t think it would’ve been super long, but probably around 3rd year they dated and thats actually probably how Allura got introduced to the Squad??
Lance first saw her when he finally joined the Gryffindor Quidditch team
He got picked to be a Keeper the second year
So their first game is against ravenclaw
And he’s pretty good for the most part
And then all of a sudden he sees allura flying towards him and she looks so beautiful and how can she be so beautiful and--
She just scored a goal
and he was staring dumbly at her
So Lance and Allura’s relationship kind of developed like it did in the show with Lance flirting with her and Allura being annoyed to them becoming friends and eventually mutual crush
Allura’s actually the one to ask Lance out
They date for a while and theyre actually a really cute couple
(I may be a hardcore Klancer but I do find Allurlance cute on the occasion)
But after a bit... it kinda fades away?? I don’t know they just start to feel like when they kiss its not... not how they thought it would be??
They slowly start to realize that they kinda just want to be friends, not boyfriend and girlfriend
It just adds stress that they don’t want and they want to be able to tell each other anything without having to worry about stuff
so they break up soon after they start dating
sadly
but they dont?? feel too broken up about it???
The feeling was mutual
Plus they like each other much more as friends than romantic partners
They’re like the ultumate brotp
Now they give each other facials every thursday
anyways
so allura finds out that she has a crush on Romelle
and who does she go to?
Ofc its lance hes a successful bi with a boyfriend
So he pretty much teaches her how to flirt
like seriously he teaches her how to flirt
And Allura makes it her duty to flirt with Romelle at every possibly oppertunity
Making Romelle freak out because how is she supposed to read this does she want to date Allura or????
They don’t really go any further for a while, its just allura slipping in little things every now and again or blowing kisses at romelle in the stands as she scores a goal
When the Yule ball rolls around, both Allura and Romelle dont have dates (Lotor asked Allura to the dance because they kissed one time in a game of spin the bottle and she responded with judoflipping him)
But they have fun
Everyone has fun actually
Its amazing and fluffy
(i feel like i should write a snapshot of this so i can finally write a fic that isnt centered around klance)
And a slow song comes on
Hunk and Shay awkwardly dance with each other, blushing brightly
Lance and Keith have their heads pressed together, Lance kissing Keith’s nose as they dance and making keith so flustered he stumbles and they both fall to the floor laughing
Adam and Shiro are that couple everyone is jealous of because theyre so perfect?? Like they have matching outfits and they dance gracefully and they kiss at just the right moments??
Pidge and Matt are god knows where probably videotaping the whole thing
And Allura kinda jokingly goes, “Well I guess then we should dance too.” And Romelle surprises her by taking her hand, pulling her onto the dancefloor
and freaking allura is actually really flustered and she’s blushing, having a hard time looking at Romelle
(romelle is having a hard time looking at her to fsajndvjhaio)
They’re both blushing.
At the end of the song theyre much closer to each other than they started
They look up at each other
And then Romelle squeezes her eyes tight and kisses allura
It barely lasts for a second
Allura is shook
Romelle is in Lesbian Painc
Allura is in Bi Panic
Nobody seems to have noticed
but both girls are dying
And then allura just timidly asks, “Can you-- can you do that again?”
Pidge walks up to them kissing and just goes, “Oh thank god I thought I was going to have to force you two to kiss”
Because pidge oversees everything and knows everyones crushes that theyre too stupid to see
I feel bad for pidge i don’t really know what big moments she should have???
I feel like shes a trouble maker though
Not like cruel pranks or something
But she likes to play jokes on people
A lot of the times that person is Lance
A lot of the time Keith is in on it
I also feel like eventually Allura and Romelle start to join her??
She recruits them for some big thing
Idk what
Its probably like a surprise for either Klance’s anniversary or Adashi’s
And they love this way of life
Romelle betrays the cinnamon roll squad and goes to the dark side
Also a little more about pidge
She was almost a Hat Stall
Her two houses were Slytherin and Ravenclaw
But at like 4 min and 43 seconds the hat announced slytherin
her family is actually a mix of slytherins and ravenclaws
her dad and brother are ravenclaws
her mom is slytherin
OH AND BEFORE I LEAVE
Lances rivalry with Keith started because Keith bought the last of the candy he wanted on the train
And during like 7th year when they’re cuddling or something and Keith is like “why did u start this rivalry” and lance says it’s because he took the candy and Keith is SHOOK and goes “I would have shared if u asked”
and yeah i may add but heres most of the headcanons i came up with

How about 14, 17, and 19?
14. Some dialogue
Peering up at the two of them, Ziani grunts, “Wha’izzit?”
“He woke up confused.” Loekhan’s voice is a low rumble like the ground shuddering. “Was bothering people about someone.”
Ziani beats an exhausted fist against the floor, levering hir shoulders half upright. Reizolm’s sake, ze is tired. “Who was he looking for?”
Loekhan’s other trunk lands on Champion’s shoulder, carefully forcing him down to his knees, then flat on the floor. Eyes foggy, Champion goes without complaint, deceptively docile for all the trouble he’d been causing.
“Keethe?” Loekan’s trunk sways back and forth. “No one I know.”
(Lol, all my dialogue has action, Im too much of a windbag to ever just do lines)
17. Fics in the ideas stage…
Well… there’s a late night ‘Coran&Shiro have a sitdown about what their jobs are’
There’s a medical horror POV Galra psych ward attendant, watching the mental unfurling of the paladin they’ve captured –This morning, subject was agitated. Demonstrates nonlinear thinking and is now responding to internal stimuli. Endorses hallucinations and extensive perseveration of thought– subject is inexplicably convinced that we have cloned him.
The adventures of Moana!Hunk and his magical boat, infused with the living spirit of his entire island (we’ll just call that boat Pidge ;) and the friends they make on their travels (those friends being the curiously anthropomorphized sun and the ocean and the wind. ;) ;) (Allura only comes out at night, when they see stars)). Disney movie-tastic.
Uhh, what else… Actually its closer to another WIP, just based on how much is already written but
VITAMIN DEFICIENCY HORROR STORY
of how the pals watch their bodies slowly begin to break down after too much time spent eating green food goo.
And as they one by one begin to drop–old cuts begin re-opening all over Hunk, Pidge its slowly going blind, Lance can’t stand up and has no feeling in his hands, pica!Keith has to stop himself from drinking engine oil–and as the set of Shiro’s jaw grows tighter and tighter with each passing day and each person he gently carries to the infirmary-
No one thinks to ask why Shiro is still the picture of health…
Also a Christmas fic, where Pidge can’t get “We Need a little Christmas” out of her head and randomly starts singing it at various times until it’s driving her nuts. And as some point, in an unspoken nod to The Sad Verse (feel free to Google it; the one that starts with “I’ve grown a little leaner”) Shiro scoops her up and let’s her ride around on his shoulders while they… I dunno. Decorate the castle, do pals stuff, whatever. But the point is that sad!pidge gets to spend the afternoon being 8 feet tall (as an angel ;) …. because Shiro is a kind and wonderful, cheesy cheeseball, who takes shit literally whenever it suits his needs
19. Favorite headcanon.
It’s a bit of a weird one buuuut…
Soccer.
The pals love soccer.
So, Shiro is Japanese, Lance is Cuban, Hunk is Samoan, etc. They’re NOT, at least, not that I’ve ever heard, “Japanese American” or “Cuban American” (though it theoretically could be American Samoa, I guess…).
Now, the fact is that–outside of the adorably brain-damaged backwardness of the US and Canada –Planet Earth LOVES football.
Loves loves loves it.
And considering the pals are
1. From Planet Earth (lol)2. From Planet-Earth-outside-of-the US/Canada (Pidge and Keith don’t fit as well but whatever).
3 All fairly sporty, both in fitness and just the way they move (again, maybe not Pidge).
4. Got into a good fucking school. Which likely required a good app, from undergrad-or-highschool, where JV-or-varsity sports would (in combination with good grades), have made their applications look tres chique.
5. Keith grumbled about soccer in S1E3 (Voltron crew: Reach for it, Sass. REACH for your headcanon!)
But yeah, i think they adore it.
I think Lance has experience being in a World Series flash mob. And Shiro has played pick-up with people all over the world, whose language he doesn’t even speak (yes, that’s overlapping with my international!Shiro Headcanon but shhhhhh). And Hunk, distinct from aaaaaaaaaaaalllll his lughead brothers, was the old kid who gravitated toward the Beautiful Game, instead of toward rugby (though he’ll gladly play either if you ask).
I’ve left Keith out of this so far, but it’s actually most important for him.
He doesn’t broadcast it, but sports are one of the things that kept him sane during his teenage years.
Not to mention, Keith – the skinny kid with LIGHTNING reflexes – makes a SUPERB goalkeeper.
(**And for those who dont know, there’s only ONE truly indispensible player on any team. And it sure ain’t the strikers.
Disclosure: Given my own life, I could be biased…. …. But shut up, no I’m not. Goalkeepers are badass).
If an opposing player came at him on a breakaway (all puffed up, thinking he’s got this in the bag because a breakaway is of course, a position of power), and he set ONE FOOT inside Keith’s goal box?
Yeah no, Keith’ll take his fucking knees out. He plays a super-aggressive game and he was terrifyingly adept turning his skinny teenage body into a missile.
But aside from him being decently good at it, IT was also good for HIM. Having an outlet that kept him occupied and out of trouble, and gave him an actual reason to keep going to and doing well in school. Not to mention what a boon it was to burning off his excess energy and aggression (and yes, Keith does carry aggression. Which, to his credit, we have seen him manage very admirably).
He may have learned patience from Shiro, but he learned discipline from his coach (the one who made sure his gear was paid for, the one who made sure he had a carpool or other transportation for all his aways). Keith does not seem to have had an overabundance of good role models in his early life; this would have been super important for him.
But perhaps most important of all,
The more time Keith spent at practice, the less time he spent at his foster’s house.
.
For him, the game was a stepping stone. Tbf, Its not his whole life (lol, how many high school sports kids ACTUALLY go on to play for a living? Not many), but it helped shape him into the kind of person who could handle himself in the world. Who could persevere, long-term, in pursuit of a goal. And who could bear up under the demands of the Garrison.
-Because after his dad disappeared, he wasn’t gonna learn those skills at home.
