The Paladins of Voltron are joined by Princess Allura on a mission to retrieve an artifact on a planet that reminds the Paladins of Earth. The planet is full of traps, the biggest one being that the water, if touched, would put you into a sleep-like trance and give you vivid dreams of your truest desires. But Keith doesn't know what his truest desires are, and when he is forced to go into the water, he has a dream that he might not awake from. Can Lance get him to come back to reality and face the fact that they both are in love with one another? DISCLAIMER: This was written way before Allura was revealed to be a "teenager." As such, the discourse has discouraged me from liking Shallura, even though part of me doesn't believe Allura is a teen since she looks and acts older than Keith, Lance, and Hunk (who are 16/17). I prefer ShiroxMatt now anyways.

Highest rank: #1 in #klance !!! cover by the amazing, talented, and generous @hamilfriend Lance and Keith are on a mission together when they get caught in a trap. Claustrophobic Keith panics while Lance tries to find a way out. After realizing it would take way longer than expected, they decide to try to kill time. They end up talking and they learn more about each other than they ever expected. (Excerpt:) "So," Lance hummed. "What now..?" "I-I don't know," Keith was shaking and sweating. "Hey man, are you okay?" "I'm fine." "Keith you don't look fine, look at me." Keith looked up and locked his eyes with Lance's.
