New Fic: Sleep Well, My Son
I needed something fluffy today (it’s been a long week and yes, I know it’s only Tuesday (morning at that)). So have some fluff thanks to a prompt from one of my Patreons requesting a kid!fic with Lance and Coran (with a nod to Coran's backstory from As Color Fades Away). And if you’re feeling kind please leave a comment on the fic with what you enjoyed about the fic. I really appreciate it ♥
Summary: A tiny accident becomes literal when Lance is turned into a child with no recollection from his older self. Coran has hopes the effects will be relatively short-term, but in the meantime he has a scared child that needs both reassurance and care. And while Coran might not have had the chance to be a father… he feels like one now.
Story snippet:
“¿D-dónde estoy?” came a higher pitched, tear-filled question in a language Coran knew was one Lance spoke but not one he himself knew.
“L--”
He tried to speak the boy’s name but Lance cut him off again, words rapidfire and growing in pitch. “¿D-dónde estoy? ¿Dónde está Mamá? ¿Quién eres tú?” He stumbled backwards, tripping over his jeans and sneakers and landed with a thump on his backend.
The dark head swiveled right and left, the boy’s distress only growing as unfamiliar settings looked back and as the gaze refocused on Coran the man felt his heart twist as tears began to trickle over.
This was not what he had wanted.
Coran very slowly bent at the knee to bring himself more to the child’s height and the boy scuttled backwards, bare feet squeaking on the floor, until he hit the kitchen counter.
The sob of fear wrenched Coran’s heart further.
He had to fix this.
