@taralunaapple - thank you! For both the comment and taking the time to share it with me! :D I try to make sure the Purest Cinnamon Roll in The Universe™ gets portrayed properly.

It’s hard not to reduce characters to a single trait, but I think if you had to do that with Hunk, it shouldn’t be his stomach but his (mighty) heart. He’s such a sweetie. I do try not to make him one note and flat regardless, but when I’m not quite sure what to do when writing Hunk, I fall back to the Mighty Heart motif.

I’m also going to take this opportunity to shamelessly self-promote my other fics, especially the Connection series. ^_^ (the Connection-verse was all written pre-season 2 though, just to be aware...) Since this is a post about our Hunk-a Hunk-a Burnin’ Love, here’s a Hunk-centric snippet...

           “I’m trying to get this panel open, but I can’t figure out how,” Pidge told him. “Assuming it is a panel, which I’m mostly sure it is, but I can’t…”

          Hunk came over and banged hard on the panel on the inside of Shiro’s arm, just below the elbow, earning a “HEY!” from pretty much everyone. But the panel popped open as Hunk sipped victoriously from his packet.

          “Hey!” Pidge repeated, much more enthused this time. “Good work, Hunk!” She held her hand up for a high-five – a request Hunk was glad to fulfill – as she peered inside.

           “I am afraid to ask how you do maintenance on your lion,” Allura muttered.

           “Eh, Goldie’s not Galra tech. I wouldn’t do that to her.”

           “Goldie?” Allura asked.

          “Well, y’know, Lance calls his lion ‘Blue’ and Keith calls his ‘Red’, and, those are just colors, not really names. Plus ‘Yellow’ is a bit of a mouthful. I thought ‘Goldie’ sounded cute.” He beamed. “I think it’s really helped us bond, too.”

           Allura smiled. “Hunk, that’s so sweet!”

           “And it’s a lot better than the names Pidge calls her lion whenever she’s working on it.”

           “HEY! I do not call my lion those things! I’m frustrated at the parts or the software, not at my lion.”
