Summary
"It's only a matter of time before it all starts to fall apart, before things start to fall off. Short legs, long body. The kind of person who in the Middle Ages would come up over the hill on his horse, and they'd say, 'Get Wogan,' and I'd be there with my shield, the first to die." -Terry Wogan
I'd be there as your shield, the first to die.
Lance is a Shield, the rarest power there is on Earth. Everyone has something. Many people are Guides, influencing the emotions of others, others have complete control over their own, or none at all.
Shields are not people, they are tools. But Lance’s mother didn’t want that life for him, so she taught him how to cope in a healthy way, and told him to never get too close to someone.
Being part of Voltron, involved in a ten thousand year old war, is the exact perfect spot for a Shield, if their purpose on Earth is to be fulfilled. Not for Lance, it’s the exact worse spot for him to be, especially with the bonds between his second family growing stronger, and the need to Shield them from every pain becoming almost painful to ignore.
A/N: I’m not great at summaries, but give it a shot please?
