okay, so i just found an AMAZING klance writer at Ao3. Her name is Jilliancares, and she might be the best klancer writer i've ever read. the next few chapters will be some of my favorites from her colection. all are decently short, unlike my past few fics. (oops! hehe, the best ones are kinda long...)
but anyways.
quick reminder that i do not own anything!
thank you all!!!

Lance thought he was done with life-changing developments. There was just something about abandoning life on Earth and joining up with an intergalactic rebellion that made you think, yup, it doesn't get any weirder than this.

It's just - most people wouldn't think that a bigger change could happen. Stuff like going to class, taking tests, and staying up late while scrolling on your phone are astronomically different from things like flying robot lions, diving in front of a laser to save a friend, and staying up late because closing your eyes makes you see things you're tired of seeing.

And, okay, maybe what's happening isn't as extreme as all that, but it certainly feels like it. To Lance, at least.

(And Keith).

It starts like this:

The planet they're on is called Yule'thra. They're here completely unexpectedly, thanks to the fact that nobody even knew this place existed. The entire planet is surrounded by this thick layer of space-fog, manufactured entirely by its citizens. Not a single book in the Castle's library mentions the people of Yule'thra, and not even Coran's maps indicate a planet such as theirs existing where it does.

Still, they're confident the Galra have never heard of them either. And Voltron never would've found out about them if the Yule'thra hadn't contacted them themselves.

They're a telepathic people - they have slits for eyes and no mouths at all, which concerns Lance on many levels (like, how do they eat things?!). They project their thoughts in order to communicate, which was super creepy at first, only then Lance felt bad for thinking that, because they'd probably heard it.

Anyway, the Yule'tharians decided to finally come out of hiding. Apparently, they've been keeping up with the war from afar, and they think they can cause a real difference for the Coalition, now that Voltron has pretty much turned the tide. They want to help.

Voltron's only really here to tell them how they'll be able to do so and connect with their radio systems so they'll be able to communicate from wherever they are in the universe. It's probably the easiest mission they've ever done. There should be absolutely no possible way to mess it up.

"Step on my shoe one more goddamn time, Keith!" Lance hisses, whipping his head over his shoulder to glare at the perpetrator.

"It wasn't on purpose!" Keith returns, except it absolutely was. They're always going out of their way to annoy one another. They work great together on the battlefield, because they're soldiers and they're skilled at what they do, but anytime else they're occupied with stuff like this. Hunk once called it 'pulling pigtails,' and Lance ignored him for three whole days after that. This isn't some sort of schoolyard crush type of deal. It's just - Lance isn't even... He doesn't even like guys.

"Can you two knock it off?" Shiro says, a step in front of Lance, and Lance opens his mouth to say he's not even doing anything when-

"I'm not even doing anything!" Keith snaps, and Lance practically growls, spinning around to give Keith a piece of his mind. That is, if 'a piece of his mind' means the same thing as 'a fist to the face.'
