Icy’s 30 Days of Thanks Day #15: In- Progress Fics
It’s important to show appreciation for all things both big and small. As part of the giving season for the month of November I wanted to extend some shoutouts to 30 fanfictions that I’ve read and loved ♥
I would like to thank them for the joy they’ve brought me, the laughs, the tears, the curses, the stomach curdles, the winces, the flinches, the “yessss,” the squeaks, the squeals, the arm flailing and of course the time, effort and love they have given these stories and for sharing them with us all.
All shoutouts are tagged as Icy30DaysofThanks (cough, if Tumblr would be so kind to actually work >>) for you to peruse. Please be sure to give these authors the love and thanks they deserve with a comment, a follow, a rec, a reblog… thank you ♥
And now we’re halfway through this thing and so I’d like to give a shoutout to the fics I follow that aren’t finished (might not be halfway yet either) but I greatly enjoy them all (and am just as eagerly as all of you waiting for the next update).
Blue Lips, Pink Oceans by @pokimoko
Summary: During a mission on a pink ocean planet, Lance gets separated from the other Paladins and experiences a serious head injury at the hands of an unseen monster. Days later, he awakes in a pod, healed up from his recent incident. The others think he’s okay, despite the fresh scars that litter his body and the absent-minded looks that flicker across his face when his sentences go unfinished.
Lance is not as okay as they think.
Time Heals Some Wounds by @tresspaceace
Summary: “An emergency healing?” Lance felt a fresh wave of anxiety wash over and settle on top of his already mounting fears. There was no way he could perform the level of healing any emergency would call for. Not so soon after a healing session like the one he’d just had. “But I…” he smothered the protest at a withering look from Iverson.
“Do I need to do it myself?” Iverson asked meaningfully, pressing a finger to an intricate, twisting tattoo on the back of his left hand. Lance felt an answering twist in his gut at the gesture, his breath gone from his lungs. He clenched his own gloved left hand hard enough to bruise.Then shook his head mutely.
Iverson returned his right hand to his side. “Good.” He said, satisfied. And Lance set to work.
Or// An AU where Lance is a healer enslaved by the state for past crimes against humanity and under the care of Iverson. Then enter the Paladins, who formed Voltron without him.
Clipped Wings by @lilacpessimism
Summary: The supply run for the Blade was never supposed to be anything more than a quick in-and-out mission. However, Keith quickly finds himself with more than he bargained for as an alien species known as the “Collectors” take an interest in his half-Galran, half-human heritage.
Lance never expected for anything to happen on his first solo diplomatic mission for the team. Instead, he finds himself facing an impossible choice and the truth of how unfair the universe can truly be.
After the Bombs Subside by Evilkitten3
(this is a BNHA fic, not VLD, but so so good. And dark. Prequel is finished but this one is all the comfort I crave ♥)
Summary: Losing a classmate is hard. Finding out that he’s still alive is harder. Dealing with what’s left might be damn near impossible.
Flicker by @discordiansamba
Summary: Keith Kogane has always known that his luck was bad. He didn’t need anyone to tell him that. But getting mixed up in an alien invasion? Yeah, that was a little worse than he’d anticipated.
(or, Keith never becomes a paladin and is around for Sendak’s invasion of Earth)
