Some Kind of Sacrifice by HunkyDory (DullahanShadow)
Fandoms: Voltron: Legendary Defender
08 Jul 2025

Summary
It has only been a week, but in that week, Lance’s worry never abates. In that week, he remains steadfast to not linger on this worry, to use the time well. In that week, Lance does his best to engage with the advisors, for once, learning their names. In that week, Lance draws parallels to how their lives can shift and become better when Keith returns from battle, and how this new chapter may bring forth a new wave of prosperity to his home and Keith’s. To, perhaps, their shared home. So long as Keith returns.
And he will return.
He must.
He has to.
Lance knew his role from the start - a consort, a political pawn, a pretty face with a purpose. He never imagined that purpose would feel so much like surrender.

Summary
Shiro’s always been better at cleaning up messes than letting himself get swept up in them. He’s not exactly lucky in love, or subtle flirtation, or small talk, or knowing what to do when someone like Lance smiles at him like that.
He only stopped in for a morning treat. He didn’t expect warm pastries, late-night confessions, or the soft brush of flour-dusted fingers against his own.
Maybe, just maybe, there’s something sweeter waiting for him than he thought.

Summary
Lance falls quiet, and Keith jolts when a wet droplet falls onto the top of his hand. Keith glances down at Lance and shifts his hand to lace with Lance’s, “I believe you, Lance,” Keith hears Lance inhale sharply and turn his face against Keith’s shoulder, a dampness soaking the linen of his shirt.
“I’m sorry,” Keith whispers, “I’m sorry that you had,” he pauses, a weight to his words, “to pick me to get away from him.”
At this, Lance pulls back, his face slightly puffy and his eyes brimming with tears, “I’m not.”
Crown Prince Keith never saw himself as much more than a soldier with a royal title. He rarely envisioned himself as a prince, let alone a ruler of his kingdom. And he most certainly never expected to be a hero for his blue-eyed consort.

Summary
Everything is dark. A pitch darkness that swallows the air in his lungs. He can’t sense anything and yet he feels the walls closing in. He thinks his body must curl up tight, his knees press against his chest as he tries to see any trace of familiarity around him.
And then the wailing starts.
A piercing sound of grief that fires flames at his nerves. He scrambles, pressing his palms against his ears as he tries to quell the volume that thunders in his head.
And then, seemingly out of nowhere, the sharp, wailing cries end. The silence that follows sends pinpricks and echoes in his ears.
“Come home, my love.”
Lance considers his quiet, quaint life one he cherishes. Sure, there are gaps of knowledge that feel just out of reach, but he enjoys the life he lives with his sister and friends. That is until the king comes to call and takes him home into his darkness once more.

Summary
“Can you imagine, Lance? If you were the one to reunite our kingdoms?” Romelle blows out an impressed breath. Her mercurial gaze on him as she exhales this wondering. The sharpness of Lotor’s blue eyes zeroes in on him. The violet-eyed stranger vanished from Lance’s sight.
Lance blinks slowly and swallows. Feeling the gazes and expectations of everyone and no one all at once. Uncertain if he wishes to imagine such a weighty fate.
Reluctant nobleman Lance is tasked with marrying a royal, regardless of his feelings on the matter. However, he wonders if the destiny chosen for him is truly set in stone.

Summary
“You don’t remember,” Lance carefully moves his hand from his own chest to brace against Keith’s chest. The man flinches and Lance winces as a bead of blood slips down his neck. Lance remains undeterred as he slips his hand in dance-like motions against Keith’s chest. “Our steamy rendezvous? I thought our kiss meant more to you.” Lance plays up the annoyance, letting his lips slip into a pout.
Keith’s dark eyes narrow before widening just enough for Lance to see whiteness around his irises. His lips part slightly, Lance allows his eyes to focus on the fullness of his lips that, even now with a blade to his neck, feels a bit enticing.
“The thief,” Keith mutters, his eyes narrowing once more.
Under the shadow of corruption and greed, a group of misfits with very particular skills comes together to even the odds. They’re not heroes— but they may just be what the world needs.

Summary
“This is so stupid,” Lance stage whispers to Hunk as they trail after Pidge weaving through the vendors displaying their wares. Hunk nudges Lance in the stomach, his frown evident on his face. Lance plays it up, feigning a blow and stumbling as Hunk rolls his eyes.
“We did the dance lessons you wanted to do last month,” Hunk reminds, as he swings his arm around Lance’s shoulder and brings him close. “This is what Pidge wanted to do.” Lance lets out another dramatic groan, knocking his head against Hunk’s shoulder as they walk.
“Why does she even want to go to this? I thought she was a woman of science.”
Lance is dragged to a Mothman festival by his friends - which sounds like a nightmare until a man with violet eyes changes Lance's tune.

Summary
“It worked.”
Then Lance closes his eyes and finds it almost impossible to pry them open again.
Lotor’s voice comes in through Lance’s growing fog.
“What worked?” Lotor asks icily, his grip on Lance’s hair tightening, the strain of it causing a flash of pain in Lance’s skull. A moment later, Lance hears Lotor hiss in pain and loosens his grip.
Lance slowly, tiredly, opens his blue eyes and grins victoriously at Lotor.
“My spell.”
Lance wants desperately to prove his worth - to prove he is more than just a mapmaker. He just never expected that his power would bind him to Lotor and feel like an impossible spell to break.

Summary

He doesn’t know if escaping Lotor’s hold is even possible as he continues to feel his ghostly touch everywhere he goes.
Lance’s journey ahead is surrounded by uncertainty and the bone-clenching fear that he isn’t strong enough, good enough, brave enough to truly rid himself of Lotor.

Kisses Sweeter than Wine by HunkyDory (DullahanShadow)

Summary
Lance steps up to manage the SunFlour Bakery for the week so Hunk can enjoy some time away with his (albeit irritating yet considerate) boyfriend, Keith. It's a simple favor for his friend, and Lance doesn't think twice about it. Sacrificing a bit of his beauty sleep for Hunk's sake seems like a small price to pay.
Confident in his baking abilities, Lance eagerly anticipates wowing the customers with his culinary skills. He's always been adept at charming others with his words among other things, after all.
Well, he does with most people. But in front of Shiro, he manages to always fall on his face. How is he ever gonna look cool enough for Shiro to give him the time of day?

relax, take it easy by HunkyDory (DullahanShadow) for Hannaadi88
Fandoms: Voltron: Legendary Defender

Summary
Lance twists a little, the robe loosening with every shift of movement, he picks up a cookie from a plate left on his side table, courtesy of Hunk, Keith guesses. Lance draws the baked good to his mouth and takes a slow, purposeful bite. His gaze never leaves Keith as he lets out a self-contented moan.
“So good,” he mumbles, his mouth curved around the cookie as his dazed blue eyes look at Keith with interest. He chews slowly then breaks off a piece of the cookie, taking a step forward.
“Want some?” He asks, his words were breathy as Keith catches soft sounds bubbling up from Lance’s throat.
“Uh,” Keith glances down at the morsel, a smudge of gooey chocolate (or well, the closest Hunk could find) brushes along Lance’s fingertips. Without overthinking, Keith’s hand whips out and he takes the broken piece of cookie. As their fingers brush, a shiver runs down his spine, he snatches his hand back. He shoves it in his mouth and chews ungraciously.
“Thanks,” he mumbles. Heat draws to his cheeks as Lance slowly retreats his hand, then lifts his fingers to his mouth, pressing his tongue against the smears of chocolate.
“Mhm,” Lance smiles and lowers his hand.

Some Kind of Fairytale by HunkyDory (DullahanShadow) for Hannaadi88
Fandoms: Voltron: Legendary Defender

Summary
“Your Highness,” the young man greets, pulling back just enough for Keith’s hand to hover in the empty space without his warmth. The consort offers a small bow, and as he rises he tilts his head. “It is a pleasure to meet you.” He continues, covering the distance again until their breaths mingle as one.
Keith swallows and finds himself sinking into the expanse of blue in the man’s eyes.
Keith long forgets the goal of disinterest, he long forgets his thrill for the battlefield, he long forgets any purpose or place that is not staring into the endless blue of this man’s eyes.
His words are but a whisper.
“What is your name?”
Reluctant Prince Keith is given a consort, Lance, who was groomed for a significant amount of time as a gift. Keith wants nothing to do with him... or he'd like to think as much.

Summary
“Dearest, you will be the death of me,” Sendak tuts as he takes a step forward and drags his hand through Lance’s thick curls. Lance leans into the touch and maintains his intent - if there is one thing he’s gathered, he knows how to manipulate any situation to get what he wants. His insecurities long abandoned upon realizing just how much he can win an argument with the bat of eyelashes and a sway of hips.
“Well, we wouldn’t want your premature death,” Lance reasons, his lips twisting in a coy smile, “you’re only just reaching your prime.” He adds, the smile slipping towards impish. Sendak tightens his grip on Lance’s hair, the slight tug on the locks uncomfortable but not painful.
“Pet, be wary of that mouth of yours, or I may have to do something to fill it.”
Lance snorts and cocks a brow, “Maybe that’s what I want."

Summary
“So, I know your name. That doesn’t make you any less a stranger. Who… why… would you even want to sleep with someone that according to you intruded on your hotel room?” Lance huffs and blows out his breath.
Keith hums and the vibrations of it thread through Lance, he shifts on the bed, the heat coming from Keith’s close proximity combined with his warm skin is enough to create steam.
“You’re hot.” Keith intones, bluntness to it, “And you’re here.” He shrugs. “I had my own stressful work day. I don’t mind letting off some steam if you are so inclined to sleep in my bed.” He offers.
“Oh geez, what a considerate offer.”
