Sunday Six on a Monday, 9/2

One of the things I've been doing on Tumblr is the Six Sentence Sunday from AO3 Comment Of The Day. From their description:
 
 
 

Six Sentence Sunday is a writing thing where, on Sunday, you post six sentences from an unfinished work. It can be a new fic, a new chapter of a WIP, or even something you’re not sure you’ll ever post.

Choose an excerpt from any section (and it doesn’t have to be six sentences) and post it, letting people know what it belongs to or indicating that it’s something you’re working on.

I'll be backdating and posting previous Six Sentence Sundays from Tumblr (though possibly not tonight because it's late), but I wanted to at least start posting them here too. That way I'll get back in the habit of posting here and keep up my writing! Everybody* wins!

(*It's me. I'm everybody.)

Six Sentence Sunday for this week is below the cut. Voltron Legendary Defender fandom, Shiro/Allura/Lance, nothing nsfw at the moment.


Shiro turns to walk away, and Lance readies to duck out of sight again - which he needs to do because he’s spying on them which is messed up and weird and he needs to stop right now - but Allura reaches out one graceful arm and catches him by the wrist. She pulls him back, effortless as tugging a kite string, and he offers no resistance as she wraps him up in her arms again.

When he stops moving Shiro has his back to her, so she can more easily lean over him. Her limbs climb his body like ivy. “Tomorrow, ” Lance hears her murmur. She has one arm around Shiro’s waist like before but her other hand’s wandering - up his arm, down his chest, slow but smooth and sure. “You promise?”

Aah, what an intriguing snippet! Lance's guilt while still watching feels so him, and I love this glimpse of the dynamic between Allura and Shiro. She's so strong and elegant at the same time! ♥

Congratulations on making progress towards finishing something! It's such a great feeling, and I know what it's like to go a long time without getting to experience it, so I'm really cheering for you!

You know, for some reason I was imagining that Lance's voice came naturally to you! Not just because he's your point of view character here; maybe because you do such a good job of showing a more complex thought process than he sometimes shows, but in a way that enriches his canon characterization instead of contradicting it?
