A Leader is Respected by: RollanWasHere, Rating: T+, Word Count: 16,699 Summary: Lance has recently been chosen by Black to be the new black paladin until Shiro returns. His team does not respect him.
His feelings are hurt by that.
They’re supposed to be a space family.
Black Paladin Lance Series by: Chloe_Hallow_Eve, Works In Series: 27, Total Word Count: 98,686, Series/Collection Complete: No, Summary: After Shiro disappears, Lance becomes the new black paladin. But the process isn’t all smooth flying. Lance has to learn how to bring them all together as a team all over again, and learn that he has value past just being the ‘sharp-shooter’.
Diplomacy by: speaks, Rating: General, Word Count: 5,520 – Summary: Partnership is tricky business. But is it trickier between planets or people?
Glowing Connection by: boredomsMuse, Rating: Not Rated, Word Count: 5,119 – Summary: The bond between Paladin and Lion is sacred and unimaginable. It is a connection between two souls completely attuned to each other and it is a bond that grows even stronger with time an care. It is a bond that can grow so strong it can leave a physical trace on a Paladin’s body. A mark that proves how connected a Palain and Lion truly is.
So why does Lance, of all people, seem to hate the markings so?
let’s go; don’t wait by: parchmints, Rating: T+ Word Count: 11,797 – Summary: “Do you wanna go on a date with me?”
or Lance takes Keith on a space picnic.
Love Me Dead by: Bang Bang Beef Keef (BangBangBeefKeef), Rating: Explicit, Word Count: 7,840 – Summary: Keith had told Lance about his newly discovered ability to transform into a Galra body. It was just for in battle, he told him. But when Lance joins the Blades on a mission and sees Keith transform with his own eyes, all he wants is get this new body into bed.
Past the Mourning Sun by: crapoftheworld, Rating: General, Word Count: 67,705 – Summary: His vision blurred from tears and sweat running together and making his eyes sting, and he heard his team screaming his name. They felt far away and he wanted to tell them not to worry, his eyes sluggishly attempting to convey what his clenched jaw couldn’t, but before he could do much of anything, Lance’s view of the desolation Voltron had wrought, of the new Galra fleet, of his fellow Voltron lions, of the giant druid ship with its offensively shaped canon, all faded to darkest black.
Voltron is falling apart. Keith has left, Shiro’s acting weird, and Red is shunning Lance. Just when he thought things couldn’t get worse, they did. Lance gets zapped far away to an alternate reality where he struggles to find his footing. He needs to find his way back to the team, fast, and maybe he’ll find himself along the way. Despite his aversion to cliches, he just can’t seem to steer clear of them.
Pitch Black by: iybms, Rating: T+, Word Count: 51,343, Summary: Lance gave up the chance to make a difference by giving up the Red Lion. He gave up his chance to be a hero. What he wants now is just to go home. He’ll protect Earth and his family from the Galra as best he can when he gets there. That’s his top priority now.
And sure, he stole the opportunity to make this decision from Keith, and maybe that’s not fair.
But whatever. If Keith was going to make the wrong choice, Lance wasn’t going to give him one.
Six Degrees of Separation by: ashesrose, Rating: General, Word Count: 8,890 Summary: “He never in a million years would’ve thought he’d be heartsick for his self-proclaimed rival, feeling a pain in his chest each time he realized how far away Keith was.”
Five times Lance and Keith called each other, and the one time they didn’t have to.
Speak for the Stars by: speaks, Rating: T+ Word Count: 49,349 – Summary: All Lance has ever wanted is to prove his worth. So, maybe it’s fitting that the Black Lion picked him right when Lotor betrayed them and Shiro’s clone went rogue. Right when the team was at its lowest and closest to failing.
The desire for glory that Lance grew up with—that drove him to join the Garrison and pursue fighter class, that drove him into his one-sided rivalry with Keith, that drove him after Keith in the Sonoran Desert and into Blue’s cockpit and into space and into the war in the first place—it’s a relic of the past for him now. All he wants these days is to keep his friends alive and the Coalition afloat, and he tries his best, despite the pervasive fear that he isn’t the right person for this monumental task. Despite the growing certainty that Black picked the wrong guy.
This fear will be put to the ultimate test when the mess that ensnares the team after the clone disaster turns out to be a labyrinth more winding than any of them were prepared for. Because Lance might just be the only person equipped to lead them through this maze and into the light.
the world could be ours by: skyestiel, Rating: General – Word Count: 2,303 Summary: “I haven’t spoken with any of you, one-on-one, in ages,” Keith admits softly. At this point, he isn’t sure whether he’s indulging Lance or himself. “At least that’s what it feels like.”
Lance grins. Brilliant and radiant, like maybe he could care for this broken boy after all. “Then come back to us.”
or: Keith’s resolve is crumbling, and Voltron may be where he belongs after all.
With Flying Colors by: A_Zap, Rating: General, Word Count: 5,124 – Summary: They say that the Lion chooses the Paladin. The Blue Lion chose Lance to be her Paladin.
And then all the other Lions seemed pretty okay with him piloting them as well.
