Sweet Poison by Eastofthemoon

Sweet Poison by Eastofthemoon Words: 3,046 Author’s Summary: If there was one thing Hunk almost felt was worth becoming a paladin for, it was the kitchen in the castle. My Comments: Sequel to a previously recced fic, and this one is just as lovely. It's wonderful to see the team coming together and Hunk settling into his new role and finding acceptance and pleasure in his new accommodations. Lance was particularly lovely, too.

Of Tremors, of Quake, of Rushing Landslides, of Broken Vale by twilighteve

Of Tremors, of Quake, of Rushing Landslides, of Broken Vale by twilighteve Words: 12,268 Author’s Summary: Lance’s eyes widened. “Oh man. You’re like our own Toph from Avatar.” Hunk blinked, because that was actually a pretty accurate description of what he was feeling. “I’m like Toph,” he echoed, a smile on his face. Hunk discovers his powers and beats a bunch of giant alien insects with the team. Also, he cusses alien badgers a storm. My Comments: Part of a series in which the paladins discover they have elemental powers. I love to see Hunk coming into his own in this. The worldbuilding is great and the action and adventure aspects are super fun, and protective Hunk is fantastic. Just a really, really fun read.

Through Adversity to the Stars by Sylindara

Through Adversity to the Stars by Sylindara Words: 8,225 Author’s Summary: Hunk bonds with his teammates and learns to fly. My Comments: This is soooo good, and feels so very canon. In fact I’m just gonna take it as canon. Something like this absolutely happened in between the scenes in the first season. I loved Hunk bonding with everyone, especially in the lessons with Shiro. Wonderful fic.

Tastes Like Coffee by itsthevoid

Tastes Like Coffee by itsthevoid Words: 2,213 Author’s Summary: All Hunk has ever wanted was to live a normal life. Being a technopath who works at the most supernatural café in the word, that is all but impossible. At least Lance is still normal, even if he drinks Pumpkin Spice Lattes a bit too often. Or: AU where everyone is supernatural and works at an even more supernatural café, and neither Lance nor his coffee is what Hunk thinks it is. My Comments: The worldbuilding in this AU is fantastic, and the Hunk and Lance interaction is wonderful. I would happily read something much, much longer in this setting.

For Want of Yeast by squirenonny

For Want of Yeast by squirenonny Words: 2,676 Author’s Summary: It figured when he finally found real, genuine, eat-it-with-butter bread, it would be at Vrepit Sal’s. Or, Hunk just wants to make everyone's favorite comfort foods, but they all seem to involve bread, and there's no yeast in outer space--except at Sal's. My Comments: I adore Hunk as a culinary expert, and he deserves all the fans in the universe. Sal is so genuinely delighted to see him and learn from him again. It really did my heart good.

Both chapters are lovely and heartwarming, first with Lance and then with Pidge. I’m subscribed and looking forward to more.

Connections by Eastofthemoon

Connections by Eastofthemoon Words: 1,456 Author's Summary: What do you say to a man you’ve never met? Heck, his A.I.-ghost-memory-thing had tried to kill them all. On that note, Hunk wasn’t quite sure how he ended up meeting King Alfor in a middle of a flower field in the first place. My Comments: I love this interaction. Hunk and Alfor have a lot in common.
