This is how that scene went right
Hello! This is a Klance fan fic thing from this au concept- http://caseydambro.tumblr.com/post/167469469335/au-where-team-voltron-meets-alternate-team-voltron I got permission so write it so yEAH HERE YA GO
The tapping of feet could be heard, humming as if it was an alternative rock song. Though, it was horribly off and way out of tune, a big grin on the source of the sound. Lance was humming loudly in the lounging room along with Keith and Pidge, whom had their neon green headphones on as she typed on her laptop. The pale teenaged boy was visibly irritated, a headache forming as one of his favorite songs were being hummed by the one and only Lance. A growled emmited from him, and Lance chucked. “Aww, is Keith liking my humming? Shall I sing?” He cooed, then stood up before the other could respond. A series of lyrics rolled off the Cuban boy’s lips as he danced, purposely performing a disaster routine. Right before Keith was about to snap, Shiro walked in and a suspicious look grew onto his face. “Lance, why are you dancing? And infront of Keith?” The mullet head crossed his arms firmly, “and what’s that supposed to mean?” The other smirked and simply replied. “Nothing. Anyways, I came in here to tell you that Allura wants us all in the main room.”
By the time the whole team, along with the Blade of Mamora, gathered round- Lance and Keith were already bickering about music tastes. Then the familiar dark skinned altean cleared her throat, indicating for them all to listen up. “Hello everyone, I asked for you to all meet here because we have been asked to meet Elprup- the ruler of the planet Nonnac. He offers to give us food if we speak to him about joining the coalition, which we need to stalk up on. So I ask of Shiro and Kolivan to accompany me.” Allura looked at the two, and they both nodded their heads in agreement. “Perfect! Their civilization is very friendly, so the rest of you can check everything out- though there is a very violent group among them.” Lance cheered, ignoring the warning about the danger. They all started to head out, and they all looked around while exploring the town, many purple structures around them. Keith ended up settling down at a small carnival- or at least that’s what humans would consider it. He was tossing rings onto odd bottle-like targets. The boy was struggling but his stubborness got to him as he tried again and again. Eventually Lance saw the other, and watched him for a bit. Already after three throws, he came over to give Keith tips. The two resulted into a competition once he got the hang of it.
Neck and neck, both of the two teens were one point away from winning. Keith tossed his, but then fumbled from sudden contact. Warm arms wrapped around him from behind, and he could see his paladin armor as he blushed. “Lance..?” Keith turned around slowly to face Lance in tears with a faded scar across his face. His hair was unusually messy, along with chapped lips. The Cuban male suddenly swooped in and locked their lips together, and Keith could feel all the blood in his body rise up to his cheeks. Meanwhile, the ‘neat’ Lance had a shocked expression, trying to process this as the other glanced at him worryingly. As soon as they pulled away, the worned down Cuban spoke. “I thought you were dead, oh my god! I’m so happy you’re alive, I knew you wouldn’t go down to the galra.”
Mullet boy gawked, his jaw wide open as he glanced between the two red paladins. “Am I.. Imagining things? Am I the only one who seems this?” The relieved one turned his attention to his counterpart with wide eyes. He immediately jumped up, pointing at the other. “WHAT THE QUIZNAK?!” The ‘original’ Cuban stammered while speaking, though he was energized like the other. “WHO ARE YOU?! WHY DO YOU LOOK LIKE ME?” “SAME GOES FOR YOU!” The other replied. The two Lances were making quite a scene, and Keith pulled them both by the wrist and into an alley way.
“Okay, so I came here with this Lance, how did you get here? And why did you think I was dead?” The pale boy asked. The new blue started to explain. “Okay, so I kind of ran away from team Voltron to find you… You disappeared right after we defeated Zarkon, you left your lion without any trace. Keith, you’ve been gone for almost five months now! And I finally found you- I’ve been searching for you for so long- going planet to planet.. I even went through this weird wormhole to find you! And I did it- I have to tell the others.” “Woah woah woah, what’s this thing about the wormhole?” His counterpart asked.
“Oh.. That? Well I saw it open and I supposed Allura maybe left it open from the other side, but it wasn’t a circle, more like a tear.” The two rivals looked at eachother for a moment, seeming as if they were trying to ask the other what he may be talking about. The pale teen shrugged and turned his attention back to the warn down boy. “Well uh, what can we call you?” The other thought for a moment and smirked. “The tailor, cause I thread the needle~”
Keith face palmed with a sigh as the Lance he arrived with high fived the other. “But seriously, call me…. Lane! It kind of sounds like Lance, right?” The other two agreed with shrugs. “Let’s just… We need to tell the others, come on you two.” Keith started and headed towards the castle ship, hoping to meet Coran inside.
For a guy who doesn't like musicals, Paul Matthews is in a LOT of musicals.
Collaborated with amazing writer @alexcors and illustrated her fanfic about Damian Wayne. You can read it bellow! 💚
〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️
– Concussion, multiple beatings, fracture of the collarbone, two ribs and the radius of the right arm, with multiple fragments. Do you have anything to say to that, Robin?
– This dealer raised his hand himself, covering his worthless face. What?
– You beat the suspect to a pulp! Batman barked at his son. – No patrols until Cantelli is transferred from the intensive care unit to the general ward.
– But…
– That's all.
Damian clenched his teeth, but at the last moment decided not to fight with his father over a small dealer. Cantelli wasn't worth it. And therefore, having drowned himself, the boy just fell asleep.
***
The morning began with the usual five o'clock wake-up, a workout with pruning the squalid park art that Damian disapproved of in his garden. And he was already tired of explaining to Pennyworth that the enemy could be hiding behind large figures! Then a walk with Titus on a leash, Alfred the cat on his shoulder (because the mustachioed one did not want to wake up in any way) and a red-haired squeaking lump in his hands.
The kitten was dragged by a Red Hood a couple of days ago, startling Damian at first by pronouncing his full name without hesitation (few people in the family could pronounce Hafid ibn Ksufash Dami al Ghul even from the third time), and then by an attack of compassion for the animal. However, the boy quickly recovered from the shock, named the red kitten Roy Harper and now did not miss the opportunity to tease brother with the phrase "You gave me your accomplice, Todd."
By eight in the morning, Damian had time to check on the bat cow, comb Goliath, lose the nimble red Harper and find him sleeping peacefully in the cowshed. In general, Batman's heir successfully redid all his affairs, even phoned each Teen Titan individually and gave valuable instructions. On little things like different time zones, young Wayne habitually waved his hand, and everyone also grabbed a moral slap on the back of the head for trying to be indignant:
– Do it, Beast!
– Buzz me here again, Bug!
– The aliens were not given a word.
– Witch!
Damian belatedly realized that arguing with Raven was not worth it, because the importance of portals to any part of the world is difficult to overestimate. Fortunately, he knew about the weakness of every member of his team, and in Raven's case, it was sweets. Especially his sweets, with honey and spicy notes, which the girl fell in love with from the first bite. He will have to share again… She's definitely a witch!
At nine o'clock sharp, Pennyworth served breakfast, with tea in fine china, brown sugar, a slice of lemon and... an envelope?
- You have received an invitation, Master Damian.
- It's not interesting, - the boy muttered, finished with the meal and dryly told him not to disturb him. He was going to decide the fate of the world here, and they came with some kind of invitations!
However, the plan to destroy all (crossed out) almost all people did not come to mind, but the world itself lay perfectly on paper with watercolor paints, fortunately the view from the window was conducive to this. Up to a certain point.
– Todd!
- Hello to you too, Gremlin, - the Red Hood replied, climbing into his brother's bedroom through the window, while unsuccessfully clinging to the tulle with the toe of his boot.
- Pennyworth will bury you for this.
– Yes, yes, and will plant roses from above. Not that I mind much, but that's not the point right now. Get ready to go out.
Damian took a deep breath and unleashed his entire supply of Arabic obscenities on his brother, knowing full well that Jason would understand him. Unfortunately, the pressure of the negativity did not take him back out the window, he had to take up a katana.
– Put the skewer down, shorty, the meat has just been sent to marinate.
– Will you leave on your own or will you be thrown out in parts?!
– Shut up and listen to me, - Todd barked, casually showing off his pistols with the safety off. – In short, Alfie organizes a family get-together, with meat and without a fight. Dad promised to be, I'll bring a replacement, the Gotham crime storm in a thong will come running himself. You got the simplest thing – to lift your little ass off the chair and walk to the place. You can take the menagerie with you.
- I'm not going to any gatherings with my father," Damian muttered, but he put away his saber. – So you can get out and report your failed mission. I'm not leaving my room today, basically!
- No questions,– Jason agreed surprisingly easily. - But if you walk out the door, you're going to hang out with everyone, okay?
– Tt.
–That's settled,– Jason grinned, ducked out the window and disappeared.
Damian managed to exhale with relief, when suddenly something buzzing flew over the windowsill. Titus reacted first, barking loudly at the wasp's nest rolling on the floor!
- You're dead, Todd! - Damian yelled, unceremoniously grabbing the cat and rushing out the door with him and the dog.
***
- No corpses,– Grayson repeated calmly but firmly (for the fifth time!).
- I'll beat him up so that no Lazarus Pit will help, - the boy grumbled into the phone, the call to which stopped him from righteous revenge.
– Alfred said it clearly, without a fight. Let's get together with the whole family, have a nice time, have a delicious meal.
– Tt.
– We have chosen a picturesque place by the lake, you will like it.
–Okay, - the Batman heir finally gave up. – But only because painting was part of my plans today.
– It's wonderful, – judging by the sound, Dick broke into his trademark smile. – You will draw a beautiful landscape.
– I'll paint it! Artists paint with paints, you idiot.
– And I love you, little brother.
– Tt.

Dark Matter by @mysterycyclone and art by @spidey-art 🖤
she’s finally finished!! this has been in the works for like nine months now, but i wanted only the best so she truly feels like my baby after all the time and work that went into it.
i wish i could have found a way to include more of the gotham/batfamily side of things in this since thats literally the premise, but honestly i have so many batman binds peter deserves a bind all to himself 🖤
this is one of my all time favorite fics ever and i knew as soon as i read it that i would have to make a bind worthy of it and i’m pretty happy with it! i actually scraped my entire original design that i came up with back in like january when the last chapter came out because i realized it just wasn’t the direction i wanted to go with it. so when i couldn’t find anything that really matched what i had in mind for the chapter number designs and headers i drew my own. please be kind, abstract goop is not my usual style lol
anyways! everyone should read this and check out @spidey-art ‘s art because it’s beautiful and they were so kind as to let me use it for this bind!!!
DO NOT BUY OR SELL FANFICTION! please respect fandom and the authors and learn bookbinding or ask a friend who binds! this was entirely handmade and not for sale!
