Voltron Fangirl

Water for Your Plance

[quintessenceofdust73]

This is a comment I received on January 3, 2022 on my fic, “Steampunk’d.”

💚💙💦🌱😊

Sooooo I’m not a fan of romance - I have never ever ever read a romance fanfic intentionally. However, Pidge content is nearly non-existent in this fandom, so I was like, what the heck, let’s give this one a try.

Um.

Ma’am.

Where do you get off on making me ship Lance and Pidge so freaking hard. In a STEAMPUNK AU, no less. I cannot believe how much I love this fic. I cannot BELIEVE I am so looking forward to the next chapter of a romantic story.

Two things I especially want to say though: firstly, I think your writing is incredible. It’s hard to find well-written content about my smol paladin, let alone VERY well-written content, and your story has delivered in every way, shape and form in that area. Your writing is fantastic, and your characterization is SPOT ON - you’ve kept each character as exactly themselves while also somehow finding a way to package them in the whatever-century steampunk exists in??? *chef’s kiss* Increíble. I don’t know how you do it.

Secondly, two days after reading the scene where Pidge pretends to be Lance as they rehearse for the ball, I am still thinking about it and cackling. That has been my absolute favorite part of this story thus far.

ANYWAYS, rant over, I hope your day/week/month is as amazing as your writing is.

💚💙💦🌱😊

I am really blown away by feedback like that. Wow! 😊😊😊😊😊

What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve?

By Quinn73

Summary:

This fic is for the 2020 Plance Secret Santa Event. It features mistletoe shenanigans, karaoke, and a fleet of ships at the Galaxy Garrison Christmas Eve party.

Rockin' around the Christmas tree

At the Christmas party hop

Mistletoe hung where you can see

Every couple tries to stop

Pidge fidgeted nervously as she sat at the large round table her family and friends had reserved near the stage. At the moment, Nadia Rivazi was onstage singing karaoke. Hunk and Shay sat next to her, feeding each other select red-and-green sweets from the refreshment table, and Keith, who had successfully dodged the silent, hovering, mistletoe-bearing miniature drones all evening, had been cornered by by Axca and Veronica under one of them. Pidge saw Voltron’s commander panic for a moment, but before either of his female admirers could pounce on him, the little drone darted away to hover over her parents, who were standing to one side of the entranceway. They were having a casual conversation with some of the Galaxy Garrison’s top brass. Sam had been paying no attention to the drone, but Colleen spotted it right away. She grabbed her husband by his lapels and planted one on him right in front of several of the Garrison’s top senior military officials. Shiro, Curtis, and all of the the assembled dignitaries laughed, applauded, and cheered when her normally stoic father was momentarily flustered by her mother’s public display of affection. Axca and Veronica were distracted by this amusing scene long enough for Keith to sidestep away from them. He was trying to hide in the shadows behind the large Christmas tree several feet away. Pidge giggled at the sight of it all, but the butterflies in her stomach still wouldn’t go away. Her skin began to glisten with a sheen of nervous perspiration.

Why did she let Lance talk her into humiliating herself this way?

Of course if he was here somewhere, he might not recognize her. Pidge was wearing her hair in an elaborate updo which was held in place by sparking green hair bands that matched the thin shoulder straps of her evening gown. With the glimmering gold earrings and necklace, Pidge looked stunning. She was easily among the most beautiful young women in the room, but it seemed she was blissfully unaware of that fact.

Where was Lance? She hoped he was going to show up fashionably late and without a date, or she was definitely going to bail on this gig.

“It’s your turn, Pidge, “ said Nadia.

“But Lance isn’t here yet,” she protested.

“The show must go on, with or without Loverboy. You signed up for this.”

“I can’t!” She hissed. “It’s supposed to be a duet.”

“Sing something else then.”

“No. I’m not ready.”

Nadia sighed and handed the microphone to Ryan Kinkade with an affectionate little pat. Kinkade winked at her and said, “You’re really gonna like this one.”

Lance practices his etiquette with Pidge’s flirty automaton, gives her a nickname, and has a moment with the adorable little clanker. Then he discovers an important secret that Keith has been keeping.

This chapter’s fanservice features Keith in a towel, Lance in a dressing gown, and Lance singing in the shower.

You’re welcome. 😉

An excerpt:

Lance stared at the clockwork girl who had just handed him the little message container. When he finally accepted it, she did a little curtsey and tilted her head as if she were waiting for him to say something. Lance carefully opened the message cylinder and unfurled scroll from within it. He immediately recognized Pidge’s handwriting.

“Meet The Champion at the foot of the staircase closest to the West Tower at seven o’clock. He is an old friend of The Debutante’s family and will make all of the appropriate introductions. Don’t be nervous, Sharpshooter, just be yourself. Good luck!” Lance read aloud. The note wasn’t signed.

“Oooh! Loverboy has a date tonight!” The clockwork girl teased. She gave him a mechanical wink, then made a clicking sound as she pointed a pair of finger guns at him and grinned.

Lance rolled his eyes as he pocketed Pidge’s message. “If this is considered flirting, your maker needs to work on your personality matrix,” he said with a crooked grin.

The clockwork girl’s mouth formed a little “o” in response. “What a rude boy!” She exclaimed. “Maybe your maker needs to work on yours!”

Lance laughed. “Obviously, Pidge programmed you.” He bowed to the clockwork girl, then gave her his most flirtatious smile. “Good evening, Miss Automaton. It is a pleasure to make the acquaintance of such a lovely contraption.”

“That’s better,” said the clockwork girl. She offered the back of her right hand, and Lance pretended to kiss the back of it. The automaton made a sound like giggling.

“If you think a girl is pretty, you should give her a kiss,” the clockwork girl said sweetly with a toss of her curls. Then she made exaggerated kissing sounds at him as she stood on her tiptoes and leaned toward him.

Lance placed his hands on the automaton’s shoulders, pushing her down so that her feet were flat on the floor once more.

“Sorry, Clanquette. I’m only kissing a girl if I am truly in love with her. I’m not that eager to get my heart broken again.”

The automaton looked at him for a long moment, her wide eyes reflecting the sadness that Lance was currently feeling. “Maybe Pidge can repair your broken heart,” she said finally, placing a small metal hand on Lance’s sternum. “My maker is good at fixing broken things.” She gave his chest a little pat.

Lance’s eyes watered as the clockwork girl awkwardly hugged him. He closed his eyes as he hugged her back, hoping that she was right.

Need some water for your Plance this holiday season? Who needs a Hallmark movie when there’s fanfiction? 💦🌱

https://archiveofourown.org/works/27910291 This story features mistletoe shenanigans as Pidge pines for Lance at the Galaxy Garrison Christmas Eve party.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/28003866/chapters/68595150 During the Christmas holidays, Pidge decodes a message, learns what true love is, and comes to terms with the depth of feeling that she and Lance have for each other. This gem of a multichapter fic is a gift for everyone in Plance fandom who loves fluff, mystery, humor, and good old-fashioned romance.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/35698819/chapters/89011279 All of the members of Princess Allura’s airship crew have dates for Prince Lotor’s ball except handsome lovelorn sharpshooter Lance McClain and his best friend, that sassy young genius who goes by the name of Pidge Gunderson. Pidge may have the perfect solution to Lance’s romantic woes, not in the form of a Clockwork Girlfriend, but in the form of that “paragon of maidenhood” Pidge’s lookalike “cousin,” the stunning polymath debutante, Miss Katie Holt. Will Lance discover the secrets that Miss Holt has been keeping before he falls in love with her? This is a brand new romantic Steampunk AU adventure.

@plancesecretsanta It amused me that the doll maker game I used to make this poster had a flirty smile option for the guy that reminded me of Lance, so I made an attempt at a Plance Hallmark movie poster. This is the result.

Was commissioned by @quintessenceofdust73 to capture this lovely Plance moment! Scene is from her fic "Decoding A Christmas Mystery: A Love Story" (link to fic).

I absolutely love this fanart! Thank you, @extrasensorious-zoroark. I hope you get many more commissions!

Summary of the fanfic:

During the Christmas holidays, Pidge decodes a secret message, learns what true love is, and comes to terms with the depth of feeling that she and Lance have for each other.

This multichapter fic was written for the 2020 VLD Secret Santa Event as a gift, but in truth, it is a short novel I wrote as a gift to everyone in Plance fandom who loves fluff, mystery, humor, and good old-fashioned romance.

Merry Christmas!

Pidge and Lance are out here doing their parts to help find the next generation of legendary defenders!

The book Pidge is reading to Leon is an actual book titled, Rocket Science for Babies by Chris Ferrie! Shout out to @rueitae for finding and sharing it on the Plance Discord!

[artemisarya]

Fun Fact: The day Leon is old enough to join the Galaxy Garrison as a cadet is the day Iverson officially retires. He’s going to take one look at Leon’s name on the enrollment list and get flashbacks to all of the times Lance snuck out of campus and Pidge continuously hacking into the facilities’ computers and call it quits. 

PS. I know that Pidge and Lance aren’t pictured here, but trust that they are somewhere not far off, cooing over their silly little bby!!

[artemisarya]

I was randomly hit with a wave of nostalgia for Motorcity and these sketches were the result.

Mike x Julie is a vintage OTP of mine and the ship still holds up! SO naturally I had to make a Plance AU about them. 

[4evertiredpigeon]

Fan art time!

So i've been meaning to practice and those who draw/paint know very well that practicing is the best with a subject that you love /obsess/ because we will not get bored of it. Hating the process, oh yes we do, but when the finished product is something that you are satisfied it, oh it is worth the sweat and tears.

So i draw plance, but i'm awful with poses so I looked for inspiration then i stumbled upon thesearchingastronaut's drawing series of the voltron paladin squad and that was a one way ticket to recreate her Pidge drawing. Check her out she is an amazing artist doing god's work with her creations.

Pls leave a note and repost if you liked! Feedback is much appreciated!
