Title: Tangled Up In You
Characters/Pairings: Original Alien Character/Shiro
Summary: While on a diplomatic mission, Shiro receives an offer for a more intimate cultural liaison than he was expecting. But he's not complaining.
Notes: Written for the xeno zine Discovery last year, well before canon had decided where it was going with the whole Shiro situation. Not canon compliant, adult for smut of the enthusiastic consentacles variety, 3906 words.
( When Shiro hears the door chime, his first impulse is to ignore it—maybe pass it off in the morning by saying he'd already fallen asleep and hadn't heard it. Then he dismisses the impulse for the stupid idea it is. He's a paladin of Voltron, heading up a diplomatic mission. Not only would ignoring the summons at his door be the height of rudeness if the being on the other side is one of their Eltorian hosts, this is a Voltron mission. It's not a question of whether things will go wrong, it's a matter of when, how badly, and how many Galra capital ships will be involved when it does. )
