3. favorite line/scene you wrote this year:This is a excerpt from Ch.3 of LW:
Everything was floating, drifting, out of reach.Lance groaned as he started to feel the pain that was pounding in the back of his head. Pain was everywhere in his body, and yet all he wondered was:
“How long had I been out for?”
Red’s warning alarms blared loudly, making it near impossible for Lance to fall back into a pain-induced sleep.
“Argh…"He scrunched his nose up at the pain, before slowly opening his eyes to see what the damage was exactly.
He immediately wished he hadn’t.
yeet
Theory of Relativity!! also...you seem to be a "feelings" writer (regarding that other ask meme-type thing)
Ooh thanks!
ToR is going to be the death of me tbh. I’ve already written up 7k+ words for the second chapter (looking at a very real possibility of splitting it up into two) and I’m like nowhere near done. What I can say now is that they won’t be on Earth for much longer, Lance sees some things he’d really rather not and meets someone interesting, Pidge being left alone to her thoughts and also some Allura and Pidge bonding because I crave it in canon! Here’s a (out-of-context) snippet!
~
“Dark quintessence?” Allura folded her arms and frowned, her eyes distant as she considered the unfamiliar concept.
Coran rubbed his chin thoughtfully, examining the panels as the machines scanned both paladins’ bodies. His voice filtered through the radio into the sealed examination room.
“It’s a crude description, Princess. The planet is emitting energy signatures that are highly similar to quintessence, but with an opposing charge.It was why the Atlas’ sensors could not detect it at first, it was not designed to. Keith felt something was off and we had to re-program the analysis models.”
“Something like anti-matter?” Pidge offered, lifting her arms as the lasers scanned her body.
“Similar concept, yes. However, the effects on the body are similar to that of radiation. Which is why it’s critical that your bodies are not exposed to them. Least of all, you, Princess. It has only been theorized by alchemists, but it’s said that should the two interact, it results in the destruction of both. It’s far too risky to experiment with. Honerva has attempted to many times before, but your father often intervened.”
Katie frowned at the explanation. If that theory were true, then the tiny meadow of quintessence on planet Medosia shouldn’t be possible.
An urgent beep filled the room and Katie watched as Coran’s forehead wrinkled. A Garrison analyst by the Altean man’s side paled and ran off to fetch, presumably, her father.
“Pidge…it appears your body has been exposed to it.”

Lance learns something about his sniper rifle with the help of someone
~2.1k words
It was another day in the Castle, the members of the team doing their own things. Hunk was doing inspections of the Lions, Coran doing maintenance on the Castle, Shiro and Allura were talking to other coalition members for the next move. Lance in the shooting range, further honing his skill as the sharpshooter of the team. Pidge in the lab, scanning through various radio messages picked up by the Castle to see if there was anything interesting.
When Pidge nonchalantly called Lance the Sharpshooter one time during a mission, something inside Lance sensed something, something different. He somehow felt more complete, making him more confident being a Paladin. Yeah, Shiro acknowledge him before when they freed Slav from the Warden’s hands during their escape from Beta Traz, but when Pidge said it, it had a different meaning to it. It made Lance push further when it comes in training, even making his own routine rather than use one of the presets stored in the computer. Whatever it was, Lance was glad it was happening to him.
Pidge took a break, she left computer running the sorting algorithm automatically but set it to notify her if something of attention came up. When Lance and Pidge got the game console from the Space Mall, she noticed that by not spending so much time in the lab, she had more energy throughout the day instead of crashing down suddenly when night came. After that, she had scheduled breaks. Pidge usually went to Lance’s room to play the videogame, sometimes Lance would be there to play with her but sometimes, he’s not there so she plays on her own. Pidge typed the password to his room, but to only see it empty. She wanted to play with Lance, maybe he was somewhere. He went to the lounge then to kitchen, but he still wasn’t around.
Pidge thought about the shooting range, she did notice Lance spending more time going there after she called him Sharpshooter. Lance’s skill became more apparent after she called him the name one time. It amazed her and made her admire his skill, but she didn’t want to admit it out loud that he ended up being right about his name for him. Probably to avoid the teasing from Lance, she thought his head might get to big and he might not let it go. Though she thought she was a bit harsh on him when she doubted the use of the name. She wished she could do something to make it up to him. Lance was happy with his skill, but she felt she still needed to do something about that incident — or that was what she keeps referring to.
Lance moved cover to cover, engaging the targets along the way. His goal for training? Practicing fast transitions between targets to shoot them down as fast as possible. His reaction was something he wanted to work on after Sven almost tackled him down back in the alternate reality. Though nothing bad came out of it, he did not want that to happen again, especially if it would be someone else’s life. He was practicing against target plates rather than sentries, he added a shot timer to measure his reaction time. He had a goal set up of only having a maximum of 1.5 second reaction per target, from the target popup, to aiming his rifle then to shooting it. However, he would still give himself some allowance depending on the context of the target. Lance moved forward to shoot, until he heard a target popping up behind him. He thought it would be too slow to do a 180-degree turn and engage the target, so he spun around but decided to fall on his back. The move was intended to surprise the supposed enemy and might cause the shot fired at him to miss by suddenly presenting a lower profile. Lance fired two shots to the target when he hit the floor, then quickly stood up to scan for more targets.
“What’s the reaction time for the last shot?” Lance asked the shooting range AI.
The AI replied, “1.9 seconds.”
“That’s—” Lance was about to comment but then cutoff by someone.
“Not bad, impressive.” Pidge was standing on the doorway of the shooting range.
“Oh, yeah, I guess so.” Lance said.
Pidge gave Lance a small smile, “I see you’re spending more time here.”
“Well, it doesn’t hurt to train.” Lance winked at her. “By the way, what are you doing here? I thought you’re doing something in the lab?” Lance rarely saw her in the shooting range, he wondered why she was there.
Pidge gave out a heavy sigh, “I decided to take a break, it gets quite boring there really.”
“Wow, Pidge and taking a break? What a weird combination.” Lance joked.
Pidge got back at him, “Hey! I find it really good for me, plus playing KBP is more fun.” She almost forgot what she came here for, “I was actually about to invite you to play Killbot, but then I saw you’re busy… Next time?”
“How about later? You know, being the Sharpshooter here and working on something.”
Pidge smiled at him, “Yeah sure.” Then she remembered the incident back in Beta Traz, and talking about being the Sharpshooter, she asked him, “You wanna see something?” As Pidge went to the console to open a preset scenario.
“What is it?” Lance was curious.
The shooting environment switched to a long-range scenario and a small structure appeared with target sentries and a ‘friendly sentry’ inside.
Pidge instructed Lance, “Change your Bayard into a sniper rifle.”
“Okay, I see where this is going but how am I going to see the targets? They’re clearly obstructed.” Lance exclaimed.
“Just aim through your scope.” She told him.
“Is there something supposed to happen?”
“Hold on,” Pidge entered a command into the console, “There.”
The targets appeared in Lance’s scope, “Woah,” he was amazed that he could. Lance moved his scope around the building, checking the scan coverage of his scope. He wondered how it operated, “So how does this work? My scope seeing through the walls?”
Pidge explained, “Your scope is actually indirectly seeing the targets. The scope is not emitting anything but is receiving something over there.” Pidge pointed at the small structure.
Lance looked up to where she was pointing, “Really?”
Pidge continued, “Yep. There’s one sentry inside that’s ‘friendly’, it’s sending out a sonar signal that bounces around the room or obstacles to determine whatever is behind. When the signal returns, the suit forms the ‘map’ of the surrounding and it sends it to your scope. Remember how bats use sound to see in the dark or move around?”
“Yeah.”
“It’s pretty much the same principle but on a more refined scale.”
“You said the friendly sentry is sending out the sonar, does that mean you need to hack an enemy sentry to let me see through walls?” Lance questioned her.
“No, there’s no need to. I just simulated the capability in the sentry because our Paladin suits has it. The entire suit is a sonar array itself, capable of sending out an omnidirectional signal for proper 360-degree coverage. The suit actually has a phased array sonar to be specific.”
“What does the last part mean?”
“Phased array means that instead of having a single transceiver module to send out a signal, the system is composed of smaller modules that work together to send out the signal. Doing that increases image resolution, scan range and improves scan time. Also, kinda like an incandescent bulb versus an LED light, the latter one being better in general.”
“Wow, that sounds cool.” Lance sounded amazed from what he was hearing.
“Also, since the suit is sending out the signal, it’s able to ‘tag’ the contacts found by the suit to determine if it’s friendly or a bad guy. There’s already a tag information database in the suit of known contacts, but there’s still an option to add one if there are friendlies nearby. I’m still not sure about the specifics of the frequency used by our suits, but it’s high enough that the so called ‘image resolution’ would produce a good map. A high image resolution means that we or the system can distinguish contacts clearly. Like being able to determine that an enemy sentry is actually an enemy sentry instead of something like a support column. Whatever material the sonar would hit would produce a particular sonar signature that can be unique from one another, an algorithm is used to sort out that stuff. It’s a very useful thing.”
“If I’m getting these things correctly, the suit ‘maps’ out the surrounding area to see if there are contacts then the processed map goes to my scope? So, I’m able to see because of the suits?”
“Yeah, you got it.” Pidge added another detail, “By the way, the suit has around 20 feet of mapping distance. Any more than that, then you lose image resolution and the map wouldn’t be as good.”
Lance sounded astonished, “That’s a lot of things, I didn’t know it was that complicated.”
“There’s still the data link for the suit-scope communication which is a neat thing itse—” Pidge was cut off by a notification from her lab computer, “Oh, I have to go. Sorry for cutting this.” Pidge sounded a bit disappointed.
Lance replied, “Hey, don’t worry, I know I’m not good with those things, but I’m glad you still took your time to explain those things to me. I did my best to understand them and so far, I did get them all.”
Pidge placed her hand on his shoulder to help reassure him, “Don’t say things like that, Lance. You’re smart in your own way, don’t let anyone else say otherwise. And sorry for when I was being harsh to you when you just want to learn new things, I’m still getting used to making things explained simpler.”
“It’s alright Pidge, I know I sometimes get annoying.”
Pidge just gave him a hug, she wrapped her arms around her waist and pressed her face on his chest. She suddenly thought of doing it, maybe it was the right thing to do.
Lance was surprised when she did, but slowly dropped his arms and wrapped them around her. The hug gave him a slight blush on his face, but thankfully for him, they were facing away each other.
They stayed for a few seconds before pulling back.
“I didn’t know I needed that hug, thank you again.”
“Later, Lance?”
“Yeah, later, I’m waitin’ for you.” Lance gave her a smile.
With that, Pidge went back to the lab and Lance continued with his training.
Their interaction just made Lance more pumped up, suddenly feeling alive and ready for the challenges set.
~~
Lance, Veronica and Kinkade were in an overwatch position on top of an abandoned building. They’re providing sniper support for the ground team who are about to infiltrate a Galra stronghold.
Keith asked for the support team’s cover, “Lance, you ready to cover us when we get inside?”
Lance confirmed, “Ready to go.”
Pidge and Keith teleported inside the stronghold using Kosmo.
Pidge said, “We need to find a port where I can hack in. A control panel or a substation.”
“Got it.” Keith replied. Then two ran through the hallways.
Lance saw the two moving inside, “Got you, Keith. Scanning for hostiles,” Lance cautioned them, “Sentries on the other side of the east wall.”
Pidge and Keith teleported away from the hostiles.
Keith asked, “Lance?”
“You’re clear.” Lance replied.
Pidge and Keith stopped by the column where the tunnels were splitting in two directions.
Lance instructed them, “You guys are gonna have to take the right tunnel. But wait,” he warned, “There are sentries approaching both tunnels. Hold position.” Lance counted down, “Coming up to you in three, two, one.”
Pidge and Keith teleported behind the sentries then they moved towards their objective.
Back in the abandoned building, Kinkade asked how Lance was able to see through the walls.
“That thing pick up heat signatures?” Kinkade asked.
Lance explained, “It actually locks on to their suits’ sonar imaging and renders a 3D map within a 20-foot perimeter. It’s cool Paladin stuff.”
Even though there weren’t much stuff described, Kinkade was still amazed by it, “Must be pretty neat with all the advanced tech you have out there.”
Lance smirked, “Yeah, it is. Especially when someone teaches you about it. It’s amazing.”
Tfw you have to dig out the meta you have written because you forgot the explanation 😅
Here’s a more detailed explanation for how the Lance’s sniper scope works.
Sharpshooter
“Shoot when ready.”
Pidge experiences Lance’s skill firsthand.
W: Implied torture and mentions of blood
Pidge decided to go out on a solo mission to look for clues about her brother though it didn’t go as planned. The Bounty Hunter managed to track down Pidge and he has taken her captive. Pidge managed to send out a distress signal to the team, but Keith was able to get first since he’s in nearby planet.
Unfortunately, Keith was lured into a trap as the Bounty Hunter saw Pidge sending out the signal. It was a lucky day for him, two Paladins under his hand. Instead of just giving them to Zarkon, he thought he could use them as a bargaining tool to lure out the other Paladins.
After a video of the demands by the Bounty Hunter was sent to the Castle, the remaining Paladins quickly formed a plan to rescue the two. However, he was prepared. He chose a location where the surrounding area was open ground to avoid any surprises, or that was what he thought.
A ray of light casts through the window of the basement and into the face of Pidge and Keith causing them to be awake. A new day came for the two captives, they were holed up in a basement for three days, barely getting food and water.
The Bounty Hunter gave them some roughing up, but Keith insisted to go him instead rather than Pidge. The Bounty Hunter gladly obliged to offer as much as Pidge told Keith that it was a stupid idea. Keith was injured with the beating, and Pidge was only slightly.
Pidge noticed something inconsistently glinting out in the hills, it mustn’t be the sunrise. It seemed like it was a Morse code.
“They’re here, Keith. They’re here.”
“Finally.”
The sound of a creaking door and heavy footsteps entered the room.
“I feel like your friend here seems tired. How about I switch prisoners today?”
Pidge and Keith looked up to the Bounty Hunter from where they were tied to a chair.
“No, don’t do that.” Keith muttered.
The Bounty Hunter gave Keith an evil smile, “Why? You don’t have a say in this situation.”
“Lance wouldn’t like whatever you’re planning for her.”
Pidge’s eyes widened, getting the attention of the Bounty Hunter. She wondered why Keith said that specifically.
“The Red Paladin, huh? Why is that?” The Bounty Hunter faced Pidge, “There must be something interesting from how you reacted.”
“Just trust me! Don’t do it.” Keith said.
The Bounty Hunter punched him in the stomach, “Silence! I’m not interested with you today.”
Lance and Hunk were lying prone in a hill a great distance away from the target building and being aligned with the sunrise, it helped conceal their position better. They had a perfect view of the window of the basement.
“I should have insisted to go with Pidge, I felt something off before she left.” Lance told Hunk.
Lance was feeling uneasy with the entire mission to rescue Pidge and Keith and his nerves were shaken when he saw her condition. Lance hoped that their injuries wouldn’t be bad nor there would be more, though he was more concerned with Pidge.
“Why didn’t you say so?” Hunk pondered.
“I just don’t want her to think I’m being so nosy with her. I mean, when I’m in the lab, she seems annoyed by me.”
Hunk gave him a small chuckle.
“What?”
“It’s just funny that Pidge mentions you a lot whenever we’re working, talking about your visits in the lab.”
“I guess I do really annoy her,” Lance felt dejected.
“From what I can tell, not really. She seems to enjoy the time with you specially when you two are playing the game. Though I think she’s annoyed by something else.”
“What do you mean by that?” Lance got intrigued.
Hunk cut him off to avoid answering the question, “There they are, they’re in position.”
A few meters away from the building was a ditch where Shiro and Allura were positioned to swoop inside. The ditch lead to an underground waterway which the two used to sneakily approach the building.
“Status?” Shiro asked.
“Outside seems clear, there’s only one on the second floor of the building and the other one in the basement.” Hunk reported.
“Copy that, Hunk,” Shiro replied.
“We’re ready when you are,” Allura added.
The comms were cutoff leaving Lance and Hunk in silence.
Lanced noticed their assigned roles in the mission, “Hunk, why are you here up with me? Or why am I not down there to make just to make sure?”
“Because you’re using the railgun rifle Pidge and I built. Plus, you have the most important part, you’re going to protect the two from further harm."
“Couldn’t just the ballistics computer tell me about things I should need?”
“The rifle is new; the ballistics computer is still not finished. Only basic stuff like wind compensation, gravity detection and projectile drop compensation are implemented.”
“That’s a lot of things.”
“But that’s why you’re here, you’re the shot.” As Hunk tapped Lance’s shoulder.
“Why not just my Bayard anyway?”
“From what we have gathered, the Bounty Hunter has a special glass installed on the windows, it will refract the laser shot and might cause you to miss. Things might get messy if that happens even if Shiro and Allura could get in quickly.”
“But this gun will deal with that?”
“It’s currently loaded with the APDS round, it should have enough energy to punch through the glass. Though it uses a special dart to tranquilize the target for a good while rather than the usual penetrator. The dart might go through him, but he would still be injected.”
“The what now?”
Hunk explained, “Armor-piercing discarding sabot. There’s a thing holding the actual penetrator inside — well the dart — and it comes off when it exits the barrel, so the projectile can have the maximum exit velocity. Also, you might only have one shot, the capacitor might not charge fast enough for a follow-up shot.”
“Don’t worry, that’s all I need.”
“I believe you.”
Hunk suddenly saw the Bounty Hunter behind the window, “Lance, you see him?”
“Yeah, I got eyes on him.” Lanced confirmed.
Hunk instructed Lance to dial in the adjustments needed, “Range, 1856 meters. Elevation, 200 meters. Wind, temperature and humidity not changed. Atmospheric composition is same with Earth, ballistic profile is loaded in the scope. We’re higher than the target so aim an eighth of an inch lower than the compensation reticle. The Coriolis effect would be present at this distance even if the projectile travels half a second to the target but aim an eighth to the right. Got it?”
Lance adjusted his aim and the dials on the scope, “Yeah, got it.”
“Shoot when ready.”
The Bounty Hunter slapped Pidge hard, making the side of her face bleed. He was done with his patience after three days of interrogating the two Paladins, he wants answer now.
“We told you everything you need to know about us! I keep telling you that I’m the tech genius, Keith is a member of the Blades, Lance is the sharpshooter, Hunk is the engineer, Allura’s new in Blue and Shiro’s back in Black. What’s there to know more?”
“Where are they right now?!” The Bounty Hunter demanded.
“I don’t know! They could be anywhere right now!” Pidge answered back.
“You said a couple of days ago they were in Olkarion!”
Trusting her instinct and Lance, Pidge nodded her head in a silent agreement with him to give out the signal, “I did say that, but didn’t you just hear what I also said? I said Lance is the sharpshooter!”
He raised his arm, readying to slap her again, “I said where are they, you litt—”
The sound of the broken glass, then the crack from the sonic boom of the projectile which rapidly followed entered the room. The Bounty Hunter slowly lost his balance and control of his body before he fell down. Five seconds later, the sound of the gunshot was heard.
The two gave out a slight chuckled at what just happened.
Keith asked Pidge about her condition, “You alright?”
“Yeah, I’m good. I can manage.” Pidge assured him.
Keith then teased her, “I guess you’re using Sharpshooter now, huh?”
Pidge just smiled, “Since when he started to call himself one. I believed him.”
Back in the hill, Lance sent the order, “Move!”
QUESTION FOR U
Should i post my fics on here, wattpad or ao3?
Or maybe all three???
