Icy’s 30 Days of Thanks Day #8: The Drifter by Bandity
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 ♥
Day #8
The Drifter by @banditywrites (Bandity)
Summary: The team needs to figure out what's wrong with Lance, before it's too late.
My notes: I’ve reced quite a few of Bandity’s works before and it’s no wonder because her stuff is amazing. This was the first one I read of hers and its stuck with me since then.
The summary is pretty simple but the fic is not. Lance accidentally (through some angsty ish means hehe) attaches himself to a rather malevolent and revenge-seeking spirit that blames Lance and company for his death and wants to make him pay by physically hurting Lance and manipulating his thoughts in attempt to kill him. The best part? Lance doesn’t realize at first the thoughts are not his own and the team is horrified by some of the things he’s saying and alluding to.
There’s a generous helping of platonic Hance, which is my favorite relationship in the series, and plenty of other team feels (shoutout to Shiro, huge shoutout really as his character is perfectly done and honestly one of the fics that made me start loving on him a bit more myself ♥) and the ending is both angsty and beautiful and heartwarming.
