barf on me

my name is kyuu and, sometimes, i regurgitate prose to post on the internet. this is a fanfiction only sideblog. 23 / she/her / puerto rico. i follow back from carcinology.

[carcinology]

Hello, friends!  In light of Tumblr repeating LiveJournal’s mistakes, I wanted to share my other social media accounts.  You can find me on:

twitter: beheads (used pretty frequently! i promote my fic there, too.) pillowfort: beheads (will update with link once it’s back up)

Mutuals are welcome to ask me for my Discord, or to let me know what their other social media accounts are so we can follow each other there. 👌 I’ll be on Tumblr for a while longer, but this is just in case I abandon ship.

In most realities, the Red Paladin of Voltron is born and raised on Earth. This is not one of those realities. (Or: In which Keith is brought up as one of Lotor's trusted Generals, and the consequences that come from this.)

My second fic for the @keithminibang!  Throwing this post up now as I upload the rest of the chapters, fighting my eternal battle against Ao3′s tendency to gently destroy my formatting when copy/pasting from Google Docs.  Features beta reading by @skiewrites and art by @moritomb (which can be found here), who are far more wonderful than my scatterbrained booty deserves.

There is a faceless man staring at him from across the room. This is normal, he thinks. (Or: Keith believes himself to be an average college student, up until reality starts tearing itself apart at the seams.)

The second chapter of my fic for the @keithminibang is now up!  The first chapter features art by the lovely @curiously-artistic, which can be found over here!

There's something different about Shiro. (Or: In which the writing's on the wall, and Keith does his absolute best to ignore it.)

@sheithbouquet gift for @apaladinagain!  Not season six compliant, for the very obvious reason that this was outlined and 50% written down before then.

After the final battle for the fate of the universe, Shiro has an important question for Keith.

@sheithbouquet gift for @meowlettee!  Cutting it a little close due to my internet not... cooperating at all, but I hope they manage to enjoy it nonetheless!

Earth, as it turns out, is stunningly beautiful. (Or: The one where Allura and Lance spend the day at the beach, and Allura bites through a freezer pop like a heathen.)

Belated gift for @starfox-64 as part of the @vldexchange!   They requested "ice cream and beach," and while the ice cream ended up transforming into freezer pops, I still hope this is to their liking.

When the Castle of Lions suffers a catastrophic malfunction, the Paladins of Voltron are forced to make an emergency landing on Earth.  

It's been nearly two years since the day the Blue Lion whisked them away to fight a ten thousand year old war. 

(Or: After suddenly finding himself back on Earth, Lance is given the opportunity to reunite with his family.)

Suddenly stuck thousands of light-years away from everyone he’s ever known, Keith must choose between his duty to the Blade of Marmora and his desire to discover the other half of his lineage. (Or: In which a Blade of Marmora raised Keith finds himself stranded on an uninhabited planet alongside Takashi Shirogane, the first and only human being he’s ever met.)

@sheithsecretsanta for @desastrista, who… tumblr will not allow me to mention. Weird! 

This was written using their second prompt, featuring a Blade of Marmora raised Keith “not knowing much about humans but being excited to finally meet people who are like him.”  This is terribly, horribly late, but I hope you’re able to enjoy it nonetheless!

"I don't get it," Keith tells him, for what may very well be the nth time in the last ten minutes of this conversation. His arms are crossed, his eyebrows furrowed as he drags his teeth over his lower lip. Shiro shouldn't find the motion nearly as fascinating as he does, honestly, but being self-aware doesn’t really change anything. "If they're gonna throw you a party, shouldn't they do it on your birthday?"

Vaguely, Shiro thinks he should probably let Keith in on the whole point of a surprise birthday party. Namely, the part where it's meant to be kept a secret from the person whose birthday is being celebrated — but that seems like a conversation for another time, and another place. For now, Shiro runs a hand through his hair, shifting his gaze to a random spot on the wall. It's less distracting than whatever the heck Keith is doing with his mouth at the moment. "Because," he begins, a tinge of humor in his tone. "My birthday isn't actually on March, Keith. I was born on February 29th."

(Or: Moments in time where Shiro is able to spend his birthday with the people he loves.)

Written for @lolakinsart for the @vldexchange‘s Shiro’s Birthday event! Used the “surprised shiro” and “anything sweet” prompts, though I’m not quite sure this is exactly what was meant with either of those.  Nonetheless, I hope you’re able to enjoy it!

He doesn't bother to quiet his footsteps as he approaches his husband from behind, wrapping his arms around his waist before resting his chin on the crown of his head."Smells good," he comments, idly.

Keith sniffs the air in a way Shiro knows is overly exaggerated, not pausing for a moment as he places the bowl back on the kitchen counter.  "Oh, yeah," he responds, "Totally. Can't smell whatever died in your mouth anymore."

(Or: Shiro, Keith, and mornings after the war.)

Hello, @bunnyloo! I’m your (belated) @sheithlentines!  I originally intended to post this on Valentine’s Day, but. Sad trumpet noises.  Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy these soft, domestic older sheiths!

[alwayskaysanova]

send me a pairing and a number and i'll write you a drabble

“Come over here and make me.”

“Have you lost your damn mind!?”

“Please, don’t leave.”

“Do you…well…I mean…I could give you a massage?”

“Wait a minute. Are you jealous?”

“Is there a reason you’re naked in my bed?”

“I almost lost you.”

“Wanna bet?”

“Don’t you ever do that again!”

“Teach me how to play?”

“Don’t you dare throw that snowba-, goddammit!”

“I think we need to talk.”

“Kiss me.”

“Hey, I’m with you, okay? Always.”

“So, I found this waterfall…”

“It could be worse.”

“Looks like we’ll be trapped for a while…”

“This is without a doubt the stupidest plan you’ve ever had. Of course I’m in.”

“The paint’s supposed to go where?”

“You need to wake up because I can’t do this without you.”

“We’re in the middle of a thunderstorm and you wanna stop and feel the rain?”

“I’ve seen the way you look at me when you think I don’t notice.”

“Just once.”

“You’re the only one I trust to do this.”

“I can’t believe you talked me into this.”

“I got you a present.”

“Marry me?”

“I thought you were dead.”

“It’s not what it looks like…”

“You lied to me.”

“I think I’m in love with you and I’m terrified.”

“Please don’t do this.”

“If you keep looking at me like that we won’t make it to a bed.”

“You heard me. Take. It. Off.”

“I wish I could hate you.”

“Wanna dance?”

“You fainted…straight into my arms. You know, if you wanted my attention you didn’t have to go to such extremes.”

“Hey! I was gonna eat that!”

“Have I entered an alternate universe or did you really just crack a smile for me?”

“You did all of this for me?”

“I swear it was an accident.”

“YOU DID WHAT?!”

“If you die, I’m gonna kill you.”

“Tell me a secret.”

“Hey, have you seen the..? Oh.”

“No one needs to know.”

“Boo.”

“Well this is awkward…”

Technically speaking, Hunk doesn't actually know Keith. (Or: In which Lance's account of Keith's personality was greatly exaggerated, and becoming close to the Red Paladin is something of a learning experience.)

Hello, @kotoriqueen! I’m your @heith-secret-santa, here with some fluff (and light angst, oops) as per your request! I’m woefully late because I am apparently cursed to forever be the misplaced anime girl running with a slice of toast, but! I still hope you can enjoy it. 

May 2018 be a better year for all of us!
