Summary
The words on his skin were his everything. After everything he'd seen, done and been through, they were a reminder that Bruce Wayne still existed. That somewhere there was a person who would love him despite the coldness in his chest and the scars that roped their way across his skin. A reminder that he wasn't alone - that he wasn't destined to live forever in the shadows, silent and isolated. That somewhere out there was the other half of his soul.
He just wasn't expecting the other half of his soul to be an alien.

Bookmarker's Notes
Changed me...because I've not once read a single DC comic about their lives and yet this consumed me wholly. I loved the hurt and work that went into their relationship, I could feel the conflict with Bruce and Batman for two different ideologies of what he should stand on. Then the kids... I only know spoilers or of what is common knowledge regarding Jason Todd and Nightwing, honestly makes me really interested to read more from this fandom.
The pacing was delicious as well. The titles and calculating how much time has passed was brilliant. Then the writing, amazing. It felt like a full warm meal because despite being not too long, every word was utilized properly to convey the emotions and story. Every single word. It hurt so bad and feels so hopeful and loving that it's worth the pain.

Bookmarker's Notes
This was everything I could've asked for. It really helped getting into Zachs mindset and having him with Alex during the shooting. Then God just the growing depression, I'm so glad there was no Justin death cause that would've destroyed me here too. I loved seeing the resurgence of their friendship and the small glimpse with Alex and Jess friendship.
The love just felt so pure and right and in character. You've literally just grabbed the characters and let them interact because omfg the casualness and intimacy is so good and sweet. It feels so hopeful by the and and makes me so happy to check out more work if you want to come back :)

Bookmarker's Notes
One of the rare pairs that's recently taken over my mind. Despite Damon not choosing one of the brothers and looking for peace, this was everything. The frustration and dynamics of each character felt so real. I even loved the quiet moments between Damon and Bonnie or Damon and Caroline. Both seeing it quicker than anyone and understanding that he needs a choice, not people deciding for him before hes even had a chance to think about it.
The chemistry and each moment or argument between both sets of brothers. It felt true to the way they argued with another while allowing space to love, even if they knew it would hurt. And even though I didn't properly read the tags, clocking Alaric from a mile away was it's own fun game.
I love the connections for why Damon could work and couldn't do it with either of them, there's this delicious ache and wonder that will always remain.

Summary
Stiles has encountered a fair share of monsters before, way out of his league - the kinds that children are afraid are hiding in their closets and under the bed.
He’d even become one himself when he was void. The nogitsune was in his house, his body, and his mind.
But the worst monster he’s ever faced took even more from him and got away with it.
It’s why Stiles has never really been as terrified of werewolves and kanimas and darachs as he should have been. They’re really not that scary, relatively speaking, and he has a whole team on his side. They always found a way to win - until they lost someone they really loved.
Stiles doesn’t know how to be normal, not after everything he’s done and everyone he’s hurt. The nogitsune is gone, but another monster is on its heels.
His uncle is back. And Stiles has never felt more alone.
NOTE - This story is 14 chapters + a short epilogue. Any postings beyond 15 are “extra” materials, such as an alternate ending, bonus scenes, author’s notes, etc. This story is complete at 15/15, but installment counts will go up (16/16 and so on) with extras.

Bookmarker's Notes
What else can I say? I usually avoid stories like this, it's very hard to deal with emotionally. Especially involving rape but you made me feel so trusted despite everything that happened. The right beats were touched and it didn't feel exploitive, I love the direction that was taken with Stiles and Derek, Noah, Peter in the alt ending, Scott for the epilogue.
I was wondering for so long how that emptiness or hole would be filled and the ending feels so hopeful and bittersweet. I loved it and debated to keep this far from me but I couldn't. It needed to be acknowledged no matter what. Thank you for writing.

If you're my soulmate, what the FUCK is wrong with my soul? by PoisonedPen
Fandoms: Voltron: Legendary Defender

Summary
Lance was seven the first time his mama told him about soulmates. How you can take your soulmate's pain from them and they can take yours. On that day, Lance swore his soulmate would never have to suffer and from then on insisted on taking their every injury from them. He dutifully ignored the fact that they'd never once taken away his pain. They must have had a reason...
Keith was seven the first time he heard about soulmates. He thought it was a load of bullshit. Why the hell would someone you've never met want to take away your pain? How could he accept someone only caring about him because they were soulmates? Out of principle, he refused to ever take away his soulmate's pain.
Whoever thought the two would later meet in space and be more than a little pissed off at each other?

Hurts my soul thinking of the pain Lance went through. I can understand Keith's perspective but my God was I just screaming at him to get his shit together. Lot of hard feelings with depression, worth, and self doubt.

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.

Bookmarker's Notes
Unforgettable, the racing time and desire for someone to confess already, goddd. It has so many of my favorite things. Not to mention the family dynamic this created with the rest of the paladins and Keiths clear worry. It felt as if there was no right way to start the investigation since everyone loves Lance and needed their own method to be correct for their own sanity. Then when it didn't work out and the arguments and low morale started happening, just great.

Lance is a super powerful empath and knows a hell of a lot more about being a pilot and how the lions work than anyone else. There’s lots of fluff and minor angst. Everyone is fine.Series

Summary
“Now, Lance. If you want to get out of here, you just have to take a test.” She sets the packet down on the desk, wrapping one hand on his shoulder like his mother does. “You won’t disappoint me and fail again, this time, will you?”
“What is your problem, lady?” Pidge says, outraged, and Miss Flores turns her attention to the rest of the team.
“I will have absolute silence while Lance is taking his test. Go sit at your desks and stay quiet. If you’re good, I’ll give you a sticker when we dismiss.”

AKA: Lance gets an arc he should have gotten canonically. 5+1 but I use that term loosely. I headcanon that Lance is smarter than he lets on sometimes, and that he really enjoys puzzles and riddles and such. The team love Lance <3Bookmarked by Callum2368

Summary
Lance, the undisputed (no longer, since he finally got the team to stop questioning his position like a month ago) leader of Voltron finds himself in the absolute strangest scenario: being the Blue Paladin.
Lance, still finding his place on team Voltron, wakes up to the weirdest world: one where he's the Black Paladin.
OR, I take a universe where Lance was always the Black Paladin and have him swap bodies with canon Lance, throwing both sets of teams for a trip.

Summary
Lance McClain constantly dreams of the day he'll finally meet his mysterious soulmate. They don't say much, if anything at all, but they leave him with gorgeous paintings temporarily tattooing his skin. It's not exactly the situation he hoped for, but when he feels the connection between them, he can't bring himself to resent them. As much as he wishes his soulmate would just talk to him, he's resigned himself to being patient. In the meantime, he has a loving family and good friends to help him get by.
Keith Kogane dreads the day he'll finally meet his obnoxious soulmate. He's just an art student who's struggling to find his place in the world. There's so much he hasn't been able to control in his life, and the thought of having a soulmate, just another thing in his life which he also has no control over yet can't do anything about, is a little terrifying. So he ignores the words that occasionally appear on his skin. He has other things to focus on: like being a new student at a big university where his childhood friend and step-brother go.

In Tears...its actually so heartbreaking. The Angst was a LOT but the rewarding feeling was so worth the read. It's been a while since I last read and It's definitely one that I can not touch again. The literal pain with the misunderstandings and the will they won't they because of the slight rivalry, it just hurts a lot. I related heavily to lance and understood Keiths wishes but the way it was done caused the most maximum pain possible to my heart😭

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

This is a retelling of events that take place after Scott is bitten.

Jumping into the Sea by Scarlett_sama
Fandoms: Voltron: Legendary Defender, Jumper (2008)
10 May 2019
Tags
Summary
Jumpers, abominations who walk the planet with a power only god should have. At least that what the Paladins will tell you. They hunt and kill Jumpers for shits and giggles thanks to their beliefs.
Lance McClain knows better though. He isn't an abomination, that's not what Mama told him when he first learned of his powers and it's not what he believes now. He just has the ability to teleport to any place he's been to before and if the stupid Paladin's got the stick out of their rears they'd see how great of a power it is. It could safe lives, improve jobs, or even reunite loved ones, but this isn't a perfect world. His kind is hunted and killed on a daily basis and amongst the masses he's assigned himself to protect them as the one everyone has come to know as Sharpshooter. The sniper wielding Jumper with a big ego and an even bigger heart.
However when he's betrayed by a fellow Jumper and pursued by Paladins one night the last thing he expected was to be saved and kissed into submission by none other than the legendary Chameleon. The appearance changing Jumper who has never once been caught by Paladins. Nor did he expect to keep running into him. Nor fall in- NOPE! Not going there!

Read and LOVED. Wish there was fanfic of this, that's how much this consumed my mind. I've never seen the actual movie or books this whole concept was based off of but It's definitely one that I need to pay attention to more now. Not to mention the relationship that Lance and Matt have with one another, as well as just Lance himself. He's so baddass and determined and just overall what I've been missing when it comes to the Voltron development. He very clearly has leader qualities, he cares and tries to test everything, and the absolute cuteness with the panthers?? The training arch?? Then Matt... god. It made me feel SO much closer to him and the loyalty or reasonings as well as the representation with having an amputated limb, just god. It didn't feel awkward at all and the imagery was so clear, this was read like a movie.

And all alone.
With only his Lion, his gun, a sword and determination, Lance finds himself blasted across the universe, in the middle of nowhere, without communication, proper food, and half an idea in Hell what to do.
Except he knows he needs to get back to the others.
Because the team might live without him, but at the very least, they need Red.
Voltron can't form without Red.

Bookmarker's Notes
finished and LOVED. It's always so cool to see what authors do when faced with a character that's separated from the rest of the cast and the amount of world building that had to occur with each planet, potential friends, lovers, etc. Not to mention THE character itself, the absolute angst with Lance always sticking it out but for the wrong reasons due to insecurity and not feeling so loved or valued by the rest of the team. It's hurtful but all the less feels so good when he's training and finding his ground as a paladin of Voltron who KNOWS his own value and should be respected because of his experiences and how hard he's worked. Even if no one saw that work just yet.
I also love a little dark lance with some slightly loose morals. I'm someone who loves to see revenge if someone is wronged, who enjoys some of the petty renditions of lance becoming better and not joining the team again because of the mistreatment, etc. I also enjoy when he does join but forces them to work for his forgiveness. It just feels so good to see what people do with these situations.
