“The night shifts are better paid, and we need the money. I don’t know why you’re doing such a big thing about it. You like spending time with Tony, and especially with Pepper.” “Yeah, but I feel like I’m just bothering them, May.” “That’s just your feeling.”

Or, it is common that Peter spends his time in the Tower whenever May is at work, but it’s the first time his nightmares catch him there.

Enter hungry, giant creature with sharp teeth and sharper antlers. Yeah. They’re in trouble. Rating: G Other relationships: Shance

Title: Nothing to Be Afraid Of Summary:  Hunk will admit it. He’s afraid of many things and being captured by the Galra alongside Lance ranks at the top. But it’s the Galra who should be afraid. After all, they just unleashed a brilliant engineer and a quick-witted sharpshooter in their base. Better watch out. – “Uh, Hunk, what are you doing?” “Making bombs,” Hunk replied cheerfully. “Oh, okay- bombs?” Lance squeaked. Rating: T Other relationships: None

AU- College Rating: T Other relationships: Lance and his parents

Title: Strength of Your Word Summary:  "Open his mouth,” Hunk heard the order and Lance’s chokes turned to a low moan. “Let’s make him smile nice and red,” came the hiss. And Hunk? He’s had enough. / Lance saves Hunk. Hunk saves Lance. Rinse and repeat. It’s what they do. So when a simple mission turns deadly these two are going to have each other’s backs. No matter the consequences. Rating: T Other relationships: None

Title: To Fix What is Broken Summary:  Things get busy up in space, especially when you’re the Yellow Paladin of Voltron. There’s meetings and battles and things that need fixed from said battles, not to mention creating new tech to aid the cause and keeping everyone fed and— it’s a little overwhelming. But it shouldn’t be so much so that Hunk realizes he’s barely seen Lance all week. In fact, almost no one has.

Rating: G Other relationships: None

And Shiro thinks he knows what might be the cause. Rating: G Other relationships: None

Title: Cold Hands, Warm Hearts Summary:  Lance went still beneath Shiro’s ministrations. No more shivers, no trembles. Just still. Deathly still. “No,” Shiro gasped. “No no no.” Shaking hands desperately sought a pulse on the frigid skin. His breath hitched. He couldn’t find one. / Lance falls into a frozen lake saving a child and now he’s the one in need of saving. Shiro is determined to do just that. Rating: G Other relationships: None

Title: Drowning With Fever Summary: Voltron was requested to lead peace negotiations between two warring parties. Well, technically the Alteans were requested. No one thought anything of such particular wording. They should have. Because now the natives are hunting Shiro’s party consisting of himself, Lance and Keith with the ultimate goal to turn Lance into the image of one of their revered Altean gods. And as if running through a jungle planet with no supplies and no way off wasn’t hard enough, now Lance is sick, burning up with a fever they have no way to combat.

Others were made of stitches, of dried blood, of pain, and why had it taken them so long to find him? All of the lines sectioned off his body like some sort of science experiment, some, some thing to be studied, dissected. But, Shiro choked down the horror clawing up his throat, that’s all Lance had been to them. Rating: T Other relationships: None

Title: Screaming So Loud (There’s No Sound at All) Summary:  Shiro was holding him down, flesh hand pinning him to the table and his legs restrained. “I’m in position,” Shiro whispered into the comms, voice wavering.

Title: What a Life is Worth Summary:  Missing scene from “Fall of the Castle of Lions/Tears of the Balmera” in which Lance gets whumped and Shiro angsts and worries.

“Let him go,” Shiro growled, fingers twitching behind him. The cold muzzle pressed harder against his head as purple sparks danced along his hand. “Now.” “I wonder how long someone like him would last in the games,” Sendak mused, sick smile lighting up his face. “He’d be a delight to see slaughtered. Perhaps you, Champion, would have the honor of ending his pathetic life.” Rating: T Other relationships: None

She will not die here. Over his dead body. Hopefully it’s not quite that literal of a promise. Rating: T Other relationships: None

Title: Crash and Burn  Summary:  Lance and Pidge crash the supply pod following a freak asteroid storm. And Lance… Lance is hurt. Badly. He’s bleeding out and there’s no time to wait for rescue. Pidge has to save him. And the emergency flare… Well, it’s the only thing she’s got. Rating: T Other relationships: None

Title: Inches From Death Summary:  Being captured by the Galra is a lot less frightening than Pidge thought it would be. It’s boring, really.
