I think doing April 12th could be pretty fun

April 12th: Historical First Kiss

hmmm i’m feelin’ historical fantasy.... knights and magic kinda thing

Shiro is a sword-for-hire. He was once a knight, but his country was torn apart by war and gobbled up by the victors. So, now he sells his skills to survive. While in the country Daibazaal, he finds out that the King has offered a massive bounty for whoever can slay the dragon that had attacked their country. Apparently, many have tried and all have died in the process. After seeing the destruction the dragon had wrought, Shiro can’t stand by and do nothing.

He tracks the dragon down to a small island just off the coast, but what he discovers is surprising. While observing the dragon, the sun started to rise and Shiro watched as the dragon turned into a man. It turned out that the king’s missing son Lotor--who many thought was dead--had actually been cursed into becoming a dragon every night. Unable to control the shift and often losing all sense of himself while a dragon, Lotor ended up destroying an entire village, killing many of the villagers. Horrified, he self-exiled himself, hoping that if he hid away, then he wouldn’t hurt anyone else. However, every time he transformed he would lose himself, and when the dragon went hunting and was attacked by humans, he would end up hurting and killing more people.

Shiro knows instantly that he can’t kill Lotor, so instead he tries to help him. Eventually, Shiro is able to get Lotor’s dragon side to trust him and he’s even able to help Lotor gain some control over his dragon form. They, of course, fall in love in the process.

Excerpt: They landed as the sky began to lighten. Rock’s skittered across the ground as Lotor shifted and bent to allow Shiro to dismount. 

Shiro was breathless from the exhilaration of flying, throat a little sore from all the excited yelling he’d done. He moved to stand in front of Lotor, who lowered his head to be level with Shiro.

“Thank you,” Shiro said, looking into the dragon’s large, golden eyes. “That was amazing.”

Lotor made a rumbling sound and moved closer to Shiro. Shiro reached out and laid his hand against the side of Lotor’s head. Shiro’s heart was still racing, but it wasn’t entirely from the flight anymore.

Lotor turned slightly to look at the horizon, just as the first rays of the sun appeared. Slowly, Lotor started to shift and transform, and Shiro watched in wonder as dragon became man.

Lotor stumbled when the transformation finished, but Shiro was there to catch him before he fell.

“You’re amazing,” Shiro whispered, almost to himself.

Lotor’s eyes widened before softening. He reached one hand up, brushing his fingertips down Shiro’s cheek to his chin, not quite touching his lips.

“And you are extraordinary.”

Shiro’s breath hitched as he and Lotor stared into each other’s eyes, faces moving closer as though drawn in by an invisible force.

When their lips were but a hair’s breadth away from each other, they stopped.

“Is this truly what you want?” Lotor asked with quiet sort of anguish.

“Yes,” Shiro breathed out before pushing forward and finally, finally, bridging the space between them.

Of their own accord, Shiro’s hands wrapped around Lotor, one grabbing his waist and the other smoothing up his bare back. Lotor’s hands cupped Shiro’s head, keeping his face tilted up slightly so he could kiss him deeply.

When they finally broke apart, Lotor pressed his forehead against Shiro’s as they both tried to slow their breathing. When they finally pulled apart far enough to look at each other, Lotor was smiling mischievously.

“Would you like to know a secret?”

Shiro couldn’t help but return his smile. “What?”

Lotor leaned forward until his lips were brushing against Shiro’s ear.

“That was my first kiss,” he whispered.

Shiro jerked back to get a look at Lotor’s face.

“Really?”

Lotor nodded, still smiling.

“Would you like to be my second, as well?” he asked.

Instead of answering, Shiro pulled Lotor forward into another kiss.

And another. And another. And another.

send me a date and i’ll tell you what i’d write/write an excerpt!

[sleepyhunk]

i'd love to hear more about that hogwarts au 👀 i've never even seen harry starwars

asdkfn “harry starwars” what

anyways, it’s based on a request from @bosstoaster for my 1k follower celebration (no, i haven’t forgotten i still have to write those, i know it’s been months.......) but anyways, she wanted a shunk hogwarts au:D both hunk and shiro are in hufflepuff, and it takes place during the triwizard tournament (allura is hogwart’s champion). it includes some side lotor/allura, matt/keith, and pidge/lance ;) oh, and coran as the charms professor:D

the working title is: take my heart (and please don’t break it)

here’s an excerpt:

Allura had just arrived in the Great Hall, radiant as she ever was, and walking side-by-side with none other than Shiro, the object of all Hunk’s affections (and daydreams and at least 35% of his current anxieties). They had their heads bent together and looked to be discussing something rather serious from the looks on their faces. Yet, when Shiro glanced up and happened to catch Hunk’s eye, he smiled—bright and sweet as a summer day—and waved at him with his flesh hand.

Hunk raised his hand and gave what felt like a very awkward wave back, his own face splitting helplessly into a grin, before quickly turning back towards his table, feeling distinctly flushed. He spent several long seconds staring at his plate as he pushed his eggs around. Eventually, he noticed the distinct lack of arguing going on around him and looked up to find both Pidge and Lance giving him a look.

“What?”

Pidge and Lance shared a look before turning back to him in unison, matching smirks on their faces.

“L is for the way you look at me~,” Pidge sang quietly.

Hunk groaned and hid his face in his hands. “Please don’t.”

“O is for the only one I see,” Lance sang, gaining volume as he went.

“V is very, very extraordinary,” Pidge sang, putting one hand to her chest and holding the other out towards Lance dramatically.

Lance grabbed her hand as they finished together, loud enough that the Durmstrang students at the end of the table turned to look at them. “E is even more than anyone that you adore can!”

Hunk glared at them from between his fingers. “I hate both of you.”

Lance and Pidge burst into giggles, belatedly letting go of each other’s hands. This wasn’t the first time they’d done this, but they still, apparently, found it hilarious.

Pidge nudged Hunk in theside with her elbow. “Come on, Hunk, you know we’re just teasing.”

Hunk sighed and shrugged.“Doesn’t matter, it’s not like it’s ever gonna happen, anyways.”

“Why the hell not?” Lanceasked.

Hunk gave him a look.“You said it yourself. Shiro is wayout of my league.”

“What are you talkingabout? You two are friends, aren’t you? You, like, study together and hang outand stuff,” Pidge said, taking a bite of her toast and continuing to talk with her mouth full. “And he’s gay, isn’t he?Sounds like you’ve got a solid chance to me.”

Hunk sighed. “Justbecause we’re friends doesn’t mean he’s not out of my league. And why would hewant to date me when Keith, his gorgeous and super talented part-veela bestfriend, is right there?”

“Ugh, Keith is not that great. Talented and gorgeous? Psh,”Lance muttered, Pidge and Hunk ignoring him with ease of practice.

“You don’t know ifthey’re even like that, or if Keith is even into guys. Far as I can tell, he’sonly into quidditch and dragons,” Pidge argued.

“And Shiro,” Hunk said.“They obviously really care for each other.”

5 Headcanons- a super hero AU

*eye emojis* i love superheroes lol

Allura is definitely still an alien princess, but more like… a combo of Starfire and Thor. I feel like she’d somehow accidentally end up on Earth, either crash landing or somehow hoping through dimensions or something. And humans are just… so weak and frail and breakable and then there’s, like, an alien invasion or something and she helps defeat the invaders and she’s just like “yeah, i’m gonna protect these little humans” cause her dad is still alive and ruling Altea, and she has a super long lifespan and so she can spend a hundred years or so hangin with the humans before she has to go be Queen.

Pidge would so be from a superhero family. Only, I see Sam and Matt both having, like, superspeed, but Pidge getting a different power, like the ability to control things that run on electricity or something. Like, it’d take her a longer time to figure out how she could be a hero, and it’d be harder for her, but she’d def get there. I imagine her having, like, electrical whips and a bunch of different gadgets, and cause she can control things that run on electricity, she can talk to computers and basically hack anyone.

Hunk… he’s definitely got powers like Violet from The Incredibles. Her entire character arc with her powers just goes so well with Hunk’s character, too. Hunk with the ability to turn invisible and create force fields? BIG LOVE

I feel like Lance would have elastic powers. Those are pretty dang versatile and can be useful in a lot of situations. And while he won’t be the heavy hitter or the super flashy hero, he’d still be a really important member of a team and good hero on his own.

Keith would def still be a half alien and not know it. He’d get his superpowers from his mom’s side, but he wouldn’t know that since his dad died when he was so young. I imagine him having powers like Todoroki from bnha, both fire and ice, and his abilities are closely linked to his emotions so he has to try really hard to stay in control of them. I imagine when he finally meets his mom (I’m thinking, like, still an alien resistance fighter who was drawing the enemy away from Earth to protect Keith and Dad Kogane), she helps him gain a lot of control over his abilities and he learns to do a lot more with them.

Shiro I see having a power that’s, like, passed down through the generations of his family. Shiro’s grandfather would pass the powers down to Shiro. He’d have, like, super strength and enhanced senses and the ability to fly. As his superhero persona, he’d also be VERY popular, lol. Everyone would love him, he’d have so many fans.

Kolivan is totally Nick Fury, I’m just sayin.

EDIT: I FORGOT LOTOR how could i, honestly... Anyway, Lotor is 100% Tony Stark, just outwardly less of a dick cause he’s far more manipulative. He has the armor, and Acxa is his company’s CEO, Zethrid is his bodyguard/chauffeur, Ezor is his old college friend/military liason, and Narti is his lawyer (yes, she’s still blind; Kova is her service dog). (Lotor has made suits for all of them, in case of emergency. Ezor and Zethrid use their’s the most.)

send me an au and i’ll write 5+ headcanons for it!

[sleepyhunk]

lotura?? <3

thank you! i was kinda hoping someone would ask for lotura, lol

Who accidentally pushes a door instead of pulling/vice versa:Lotor. He grew up in space with doors that either automatically open before you go through them or that had key pads, so he sometimes forgets how manual doors works. Allura tries not to laugh, but sometimes it’s.... so hard.... when her boyfriend is just walking and then BAM right into a door. and his face... he always looks like someone insulted him aslkdnf

Who doodles little hearts all over the desk with their initials inside them:Neither. However, Lotor loves holding Allura’s hands, like, all the time, and he gets into a habit of writing messages on her palms with his finger tips over and over until she figures them out (they’re usually either really sweet or making fun of someone).

Who starts the tickle fights:Neither, Alteans aren’t ticklish so there’s no point. (Half Alteans are also not ticklish.) 

Who starts the pillow fights:Allura. The paladins taught her about pillow fights, and the first time she tried it with Lotor, he was so confused??? and a little upset, cause wtf did he do to piss her off enough to hit him?? (tho, admittedly, with something soft) HOWEVER, after she explains what pillow fights are all about, he enjoys them, too. Especially if it’s a big pillow fight and he and Allura get to team up and take everyone else DOWN. (They get very competitive about it.)

Who falls asleep last, watching the other with a small affectionate smile:Lotor. He has trouble falling asleep most nights and is an extremely light sleeper, but watching Allura sleep peacefully is very calming to him. Sometimes he’ll count her breaths to try and help himself fall back to sleep.

Who mistakes salt for sugar:Both of them, all the time, and neither seems to care??? Both taste good to them somehow, and it’s very distressing to the humans.

Who lets the microwave play the loud beeping sound at 1am in the morning:Both, because the only time they’ll use the microwave at 1am is if they’re both awake and eating a midnight snack. Otherwise, they’re too considerate of the other or just plain aren’t awake at that time. 

Who comes up with cheesy pick up lines:Allura picks up a ton from Lance, even ones she doesn’t really understand. (Half of them reference things she knows nothing about because she knows very little about Earth culture.) Lotor is constantly confused, but extremely charmed either way. (Lotor doesn’t use cheesy pick up lines, he’s either smooth as butter on a warm summer morning or as awkward as a baby deer taking its first steps, there is NO inbetween for his flirting skills)

Who rearranges the bookshelf in alphabetical order:Neither, their bookshelf was always in alphabetical order.

Who licks the spoon when they’re baking brownies:Allura. BUT only because she likes to pull him into kisses afterwards cause she knows he has a sweet tooth he won’t admit to. (Plus, they just, like, really love kissing each other.)

Who buys candles for dinners even though there’s no special occasion:Psssh, they’re ROYALTY they have candlelit dinners all the time. Romantic dinners for them are when they pack a dinner and sneak away in a pod to the nearest (safe) planet and eat under the stars with only the moonlight to see by.

Who draws little tattoos on the other with a pen:It isn’t really a Thing for them, but they see some of the paladins doing it and so they doodle a matching little design on each other’s hand. It’s extremely cute.

Who comes home with a new souvenir magnet every time they go on vacation:LOTOR. However, it’s not a magnet or anything like that. And they doesn’t really go on vacations like how most ppl would think vacation. They like to go exploring and visit other cultures. Lotor has a special soft spot for ancient ruins and really old cultures, and he’ll keep things of special importance, or things for research purposes, or gifts given to him/Allura by the people they meet.

Who convinces the other to fill out those couple surveys in the back of magazines:Lotor hates them because they never give them the answers he wants, and yet.... he keeps..... doing them........ Allura is kind of confused about their purpose, and either get’s super excited when they give her an answer she likes OR get’s super annoyed at them when they give her an answer she doesn’t like.

Urban fantasy AU?

heck yeah

Keith is a witch, but like, a Seamus Finnigan witch, aka he accidentally sets things on fire a lot. He grew up outside of the magical world with his non-magic dad, so the world of magic is new to him and he has less control.

Allura is a mage, which is different from a witch, thank you very much. Mages and witches have a very long history of Not Getting Along (despite the rest of the magical world Not Giving A Shit that there is a difference between mage magic and witch magic).

Allura and Keith end up studying at the same magic school (like college, but magic), though, and they actually end up becoming friends, despite past prejudices. Now they both work in the same magics and potions shop that’s owned by Coran, but he’s always off traveling the world looking for weird/obscure ingredients or magical objects, so they basically run it by themselves.

Shiro is Keith’s ghost roommate. Shiro was a human who was murdered, but due to the magic embedded into the building he was murdered in (and also due to how he died/who killed him), Shiro’s spirit can’t pass over. It sucks a lot, but Keith helps:)

(Keith is secretly looking for Shiro’s murderer, as well as trying to find a way to either tether Shiro to the living world again, or help him finally pass on (though he’d preferred if Shiro could stick around for a while.)

Pidge is a vampire and comes from a family of vampires (vampires can reproduce just fine and aren’t “undead”. just cold-blooded lol). She’s not particularly well-known in the magic world, but she’s very well-known in the human world as one of those YouTube gamers. 

Hunk is a werewolf and comes from a family of werewolves (a hungry bunch, lemme tell ya!). He became friends with Pidge through YouTube, since he runs a food vlog, and they bond over their experiences walking the line between the human and magical worlds, as well as both of them being more “night time creatures” lol. Also over science:D Hunk is currently working in his aunt’s pastry shop.

Lance is an Atlantian who studied abroad at the same magical school as Keith and Allura. He’s not a “mermaid” Atlantian, so he can get around fine on dry land, but he still prefers being in water. Lance is currently working as a swim coach for magical kiddos:D

send me an au and i’ll give you 5+ headcanons about it!

[sleepyhunk]

Voltron vampire au?

nice nice... 

so we can’t talk vampires without talking about Lotor, obviously. Lotor is definitely, like, the son of Dracula-equivalent (which Zarkon would def be). He’s not a dhampir, though, but also not 100% a regular vampire cause his mother, Honerva, was a witch, so he’s like a special magic vampire. anyways, I imagine he’d be obsessed with finding a way to be a dhampir because dhampir’s can walk in daylight and aren’t confined to darkness. he’d also be that SUPER OLD vampire, like 1,000 years old or some shit.

Keith would definitely be a dhampir. He can walk around in daylight and he figured out a way he can survive without drinking human blood: he just has to drink the blood of another omnivore. Namely, pigs. He’ll eat a rat if he’s, like, really desperate, but otherwise he sticks with pigs.

(Regular vampires don’t have that option, they have to drink human blood. Keith only has that option cause he’s half human)

Shiro is just a regular guy who happens to be Keith’s next door neighbor. And then Keith’s best friend. And is eventually dragged into the wild wild world of vampires and magic :O or... is he? Shiro is actually ex-military, and went MIA for 3 months during a mission. When they finally found him, he was missing an arm, had a scar on his face and white patch of hair, and zero memory of what happened during those 3 months. Turns out, Shiro was kidnapped by some of Haggar’s evil coven and experimented on (they were trying to find a way to make regular vampires into dhampirs so they can take over the world and rule over humans). And the more Shiro sees of Keith’s world, the more he starts to remember.....

Allura is totally from an ancient family of vampire hunters who have been hunting vampires for the past, like, 15 centuries or some wild shit. She probably tries to kill Keith when she first meets him. She comes to learn, eventually, that vampires aren’t just evil blood-sucking monsters, but like... people with emotions and life goals and families. Like, yeah, some of them are terrible and awful and want to enslave mankind (*cough*Zarkon*cough*), but not all vampires are like that. She’d probably also have some magical abilities? Or at least some basic knowledge of magic.

Speaking of Zarkon, I imagine something similar in canon happening to him and Honerva. Like, Honerva is trying to find a way for Zarkon and other vampires to be able to walk in daylight and stuff, maybe even to not have to drink human blood, but she’s using, like, demonic magic to do so, and she and Zarkon end up possessed/corrupted by demonic spirits, which is why they want to enslave the human race now? And, like, Allura’s great-great-however many great’s grandfather was Zarkon’s good friend, but saw what he became and so tried to stop Zarkon and Honerva by killing them. Zarkon, feeling betrayed, vows to become a plague on the human race and to eventually enslave them to vampire kind.

I imagine Pidge, Hunk, and Lance getting involved for a pretty wacky reason. Pidge is convinced that her dad and brother were kidnapped by aliens or cryptids or something (she’s not wrong, it was just Honerva’s evil coven). Pidge left home to go looking for them, but couldn’t afford her apartment on her own, so she put in a want ad for roommates. Hunk and Lance (already best friends) answered the ad. Anyways, I imagine that, in some attempt to get to know their roommate, Hunk and Lance tag along with Pidge on one of her stakeouts or something, and they all end up running into Shiro, Keith, and Allura.

[sleepyhunk]

You got any hidge headcanons? My fave is that Pidge can’t cook to save her life and she feels so blessed she’s dating a dude who loves to cook cuz otherwise it would be microwave dinners every night for her

oh, love that. isn’t that the dream, really? a partner who actually likes cooking and you just get to enjoy the fruits of their labor. truly, the dream

I like the idea that Pidge doesn’t really like being the little spoon, makes her feel caged in and she likes to have the option to move around in her sleep. HOWEVER, she loves jetpacking on Hunk and sleeping on his chest, her two favorite sleeping positions in the world. Pidge drools a little in her sleep, but Hunk kinda just thinks it’s cute, lol

[sleepyhunk]

Heith and family

Do they plan on having children/or have children?

yes (what would be the fun of these questions if i said no???). they would adopt, tho, not have a surrogate.

If so, how many children do they want/have?

I feel like they’d both want a big family, though probably not more than 5 kids.

Who is the favorite parent?

depends on the kid? some personalities click more with hunk than keith, and vice versa

Who is the authoritative parent?

keith, 100%. hunk can be so bad about saying no, sometimes. hunk can put his foot down, but he just doesn’t do it as often.

Who is more likely to allow the children to have a day off school?

keith. education is important, but keith will definitely give his kids a day off if they need it. hunk is more likely to stress the importance of school than keith.

Who lets the children indulge in sweets and junk food when the other isn’t around?

keith, again. sometimes he feels guilty always being the authoritative one, so he overcompensates

Who turns up to extra curricular activities to support their children?

BOTH, they are very supportive of their kids. (it’s very important to keith for his kids to know that he supports them)

Who goes to parent teacher interviews?

oh, they have to draw straws for it, cause they’re both so bad at those. keith can lose his temper, while hunk will get really passive aggressive (and isn’t above making his children’s teachers feel like tiny idiots). some teachers are nice, though, depends on the year.

Who changes the diapers?

..b-both? parents should share that duty, imo, but maybe that’s just cause it grosses me out lol

Who gets up in the middle of the night to feed the baby?

they take turns

Who spends the most time with the children?

they spend pretty equal amounts, when they’re both planet-side, but occasionally Keith will have to deal with some intergalactic disputes or Hunk will have to go out and fix some equipment in space.

Who packs their lunch boxes?

hunk, always, he insists on it.

Who gives their children ‘the talk’?

Lance, and Hunk will never forgive him for it.

Who cleans up after the kids?

When they’re too little to do it themselves, they both do, but they teach their kids to do chores and take care of their own things and messes.

Who worries the most?

they both worry, but Hunk has anxiety, so...

Who are the children more likely to learn their first swear word from? 

Shiro.

send me a category + a ship!
