Hey :) I absolutely LOVE your art style and all your work!!! I was wondering for the art meme if u would do a Voltron character (any one u like) under their sexuality flag :)
More Time Travel AU (also this): Keith and Lance hang out with themselves.

Drabble under the cut:
Future Chat
Current Keith is in his room, getting ready for the night. He needs to be battle ready for the morning. Though he doesn't know how he is going to sleep.
Just this morning he was thinking they were going to need two Voltrons to destroy Lotor's latest creation. Little did he know, his future self and those of the other paladins were going to show up to help do just that.
Current Keith is about to take off his boots when he hears a knock on the door. He opens it and finds himself face to face with Future Keith.
“Oh great,” he thinks to himself. Today was weird enough, spending it going over a battle plan with an older version of myself and friends, who all ready to know exactly what is going to happen. He wasn't sure he wanted alone time with himself.
“Can I come in?” Future Keith asks.
“I guess,” Keith replies.
The two spend a moment sizing each other up in silence, before Future Keith breaks it, “Hey, Keith?”
“Ya?”
“Do you mind if I give you the some advice I gave me when I was your age?” Future Keith asks, his head askew as he remembers how odd that sounds.
“Apparently not, or you wouldn't have it to give.” Keith crosses his arms in disbelief that he was about to get a lecture from himself.
Future Keith put his hand on Keith's shoulder and begin to speak softly, “Look, man, I know, well, I remember, how you are feeling right now. I know you're hurting. You've gotten the shitty deal most of your life, you're not sure about Shiro, and you've had a lot of responsibility thrust upon you. No one should have to bear the weight of saving the universe, but here we are. You have and you're gonna make some difficult choices, some that will haunt you for the rest of our lives, But, know you're not the lone wolf you think you are. You are not alone, you have great friends and a great team of people who care about you. Let your walls down a little, and have some fun when you can. It gets better. You'll be happy one day. I promise.”
“Did you practice that?” Keith replied a little more scathing than necessary.
Future Keith chuckled.
“I did in fact, but you'd know that. Lance is the one with the words.”
Keith blushed at how fond future him looked when he said Lance's name and wondered if he ever looked the same when he said Lance's name now. He hoped not.
“I have a question.”
“Here it comes.”
“I don't want to know the how or the when, but out of all the people in this entire universe, why Lance?”
Future Keith swallows before answering, “You will discover, that sometimes the person we are meant to be with, is not the person we put on a pedestal or wish we could be, but the person who is just enough our opposite they complete you, whose presence in your life makes you a better person, who isn't afraid to tell you you fucked up and help you fix it. Plus, he has a good heart and he makes things fun.”
“Hmm,” Keith grunts
“You're allowed to have fun you know? Here, I'll just get that chip off your shoulder,” Future Keith grins as he brushes Keith's shoulder.
“Please, no,” Keith mutters under his breath, “Was that like a dad joke? I'm so lame.”
“But happy,” Future Keith chuckles, “Seriously though, chin up. We got this.”
Keith is left with the weight of Future Keith's words, yet they some how make him feel lighter.

Sitting in the lounge off the deck, Lance stares at his future self. His future self stares back.
“I know what you are looking at, and no, I am not going to brush my hair back,” Future Lance responds.
“Oh come on. I need to know. How far back does it go?”
“You don't need to know. It's fine. You look fine. You'll find out eventually.”
“You are trying to save me from vanity crushing depression aren't you?”
“Ha!” Future Lance laughs at his younger self.
“Ok, honestly, I was expecting the hair, but the beard. What is with the beard? It looks good. Don't get me wrong. I just didn't peg us for a beard guy.”
“Keith keeps trying to grow one, so I grew this to spite him and kept it as a visual reminder of my bread growing dominance.”
“Nice! So we never stop trolling Keith?”
“Ha ha, no way! I vowed to troll him for the rest of my life. Don't worry, he can dish it as much as he gets it.”
Current Lance flushes at the thought of Keith and him together then shakes its off.
“So did you have anything else you want to ask me?” Future Lance smirks, knowing what is coming.
“Is it weird that I kind of want to arm wrestle you?”
“Nah, but I'm gonna kick your ass.”
“Do you know that or are you just saying that cause that is something you'd say, but then I kick your ass?”
“Bring up the table. Let's find out.”
Current Lance presses a button behind the seats and made a small table appear from the floor between them.
“You ready, little man?” Future Lance poses and eggs himself on.
“You know it,” Current Lance says as he takes his elder half's hand.
The two struggle against the other's strength, trashing talking the whole time.
“You struggling, Old Man?” Lance grunts.
“Old man? We're not even 30 yet. I'm just holding you here until you tire yourself out. Then it'll be 'Bam'!”
“Not if, I bam you first.”
“Still waiting for you to bring it.”
“Just you wait, Comb Over.”
“Oh my land, do you ever stop talking?”
“You tell me.”
Future Lance chuckles. He could win so easy, but he doesn't know if he should. Which would be worse, for his younger self? Winning or loosing to your older self in an arm wrestle?
A huge grin grows across his face as he remembers, exactly how this plays out. He nods towards the empty doorway.
“Hey, Lance, look it's Keith!” Future Lance says, breaking Current Lance's attention enough to bring his arm down on the table with a slam.
Current Lance looks down at his arm in contempt, “You b**tch!”
Later:
Future Keith and Lance are watching their younger selves go over the battle strategy one last time, when Keith cocks an eye brow and gives Lance a shit eating grin.
“Did you have fun playing with yourself today?”
“I'm always a good time. Wait a minute, playing with myself, Hardy har har! Hey, Keith? Did you have fun traumatizing yourself with bad jokes?”
Future Keith crosses his arms.
“You know that joke has haunted me for years and now that I have seen my face when I delivered it, ugh. Why did I do it? 'Let me get that chip of your shoulder?' Gawd! And I get to relive it, over and over, stuck in the infinite loop of time, for eternity.”
“Ha! M'kay, Emo. If it makes you feel better, I totally kicked my ass today.”
I still can't believe Lance is introduced with Hunk's line, "Lance, can you keep this thing straight?" And his answer is, "Relax," the threading the needle analogy (which is sometimes associated with innuendo), and the scene illustrating the answer is indeed, "no."
Ask me again who I think is getting the LGBTQ arc.
