Summary
THIS STORY IS CURRENTLY ON HIATUS
“How could any of this possibly make sense? You can’t just--”
“I don’t give a fuck what you think! I don’t even know you! But rest assured, I’m completely fine,” he yelled, slamming his hands on the table. “Shiro isn’t, though, so let’s find him!”
Lance felt like he could explode, like he was a bomb and his fuse was nearly burned through. There were so many problems that they needed to focus on. Lotor had seen him in the alternate reality. He’d known what to say to fuck with him. Keith had kissed him and left. Shiro was being… mind-controlled or something. Lance had piloted the fucking Black Lion and now Red was gone, too.
And his friends were all staring at him like he was a monster.
***
Lance made it back to his own reality. He was home. Unfortunately, things don't go back to normal like he had hoped and he struggles to connect with team Voltron. Worse still, he finds himself at the center of a mysterious Galra conspiracy.

Summary
“Why can’t it be about Dick?” he rumbled after his laughter subsided. “You know I’m right about this and you just want to turn it around on me. I get it, I’m the family fuck-up, I’m a murderer, I should’ve stayed dead, yada yada yada. Believe me, I’ve heard all of that before,” he said, and almost laughed again when Tim had the audacity to flinch in guilt. “I’m here because Goldie has a hard on for self-flagellation and I’m done watching him stroke it. You need to be home, Tim. You can help him.”
In the aftermath of Bruce's death, the Batfamily falls apart. Jason tries to put it back together again, one Bat at a time.

Summary
Leandro's family went missing, leaving him alone in the Lower Sector of Terra. When dodgy deals and nicking weaponry from the Upper Sector dried up, he turned to racing as a way to earn enough money to find them.
Akira is a member of high society, a Galra living among the upper class. But his mother has disappeared under mysterious circumstances and the only way he can let off steam is by venturing downtown, into the dirty streets of lower Terra.
After a race gone wrong, their paths collide, sending them careening into a whirlwind of action, adventure, and drunken escapades. When their freshly hatched plan goes sideways, can they rely on each other to make it out alive?

Summary
He knew he was running out of time. The shadows had stopped moving, but he could still see flashes of metal arrowheads peppering the canopy, evidence that several archers had their weapons trained on him.
Heavy footsteps drew closer, the sound of leaves crunching and a cloying heat accompanying whoever was emerging from the dark of the forest. The rain continued to pound all around him and Sokka cursed once more.
Just like that, he was out of time.
***
Katara and Aang get sick. Sokka leaves to find help, but things don't go exactly to plan and he find himself captured by the Fire Nation. Luckily, his winning personality lands him a new friend and a shot at escape.

Summary
“Why don’t you tell them not to harm me?” Zatanna snarked back, but then Diana was casting her lariat, the shining loop settling perfectly around the animal's neck, and with a strong heave the Amazon yanked the tiger off of Zatanna. She stood, dusting off her coattails before immediately turning to face a new threat: a grizzly bear. “So what’d you do to piss Circe off this time?”
***
Date night turns into an evening of animal wrangling and poorly timed jokes, not that Zatanna or Diana particularly mind.

Summary
Keith Kogane finished Fuji Helexicon with an embarrassing DNF. He only had one chance left if he ever wanted to see the inside of the WRL Grand Prix Colosseum, and that meant competing in the Casa Cristo 5000 -- the cross-country rally race that had led to his surrogate brother Takashi Shirogane’s untimely demise.
If he wanted to survive the Crucible, he’d need a trustworthy mechanic, someone with a tactical eye in the sky, two racing partners, and some defensive modifications for the Red Lion, his hand tooled and custom molded T-180.
The odds are already stacked up against him, but it doesn’t help that Galra Industries is sending in their own three-man team led by family scion Lotor. If Keith wants to win this race, he’ll have to leave his past behind and be a team player.

Summary
Unfortunately for him, the rumbling only grew stronger, the ground beneath their feet grew unsteady, and before anyone could move or yell, there was a shower of boulders and dirt that had Lance squeezing his eyes shut and coughing up a storm.
“Hunk! Coran! Lance!”
When the dust settled, Lance could see that the entrance to the tunnel system was entirely blocked off by a thick wall of rocks. And Coran, Hunk, and he were stuck on the wrong side.
***
Every good science experiment needs a control group. The same can be said for any ragtag group of aliens tasked with defending the universe.

Summary
“Oh, so now you’re ready to do normal bonding things and talk about feelings? After we broke into the Fire Palace to steal your priceless family heirloom?”
Azula yanked her helmet off, shaking her short hair loose and wiping some sweat off of her brow. Sokka loosened the ties on his gauntlets, pulling them off.
“No time like the present. You’re marrying my brother, and since I’m planning on sticking around that’s the equivalent of marrying me.”
“Is it?”
Azula punched Sokka lightly in the shoulder, though her definition of light wasn’t unlike Toph’s. Sokka groaned.
***
Sokka and Azula go to great lengths to win a 'friendly' competition.

Summary
Jet seemed to notice Sokka’s unease and popped a fresh blade of grass into his mouth, lips curling up.
“Truth or dare, Sokka?”
Sokka could sense the challenge, knew that Jet wanted him to choose a dare for once. And he was helpless to it.
“Dare.”
***
Sokka's stakeout with Jet takes... a turn. For better or worse, he couldn't say.

Summary
If Lance hadn’t left, Keith would’ve been stuck as a cargo pilot. Which he wouldn’t have minded, necessarily. But when he moved up to fighter class, he had been able to be in a new squad with his old friend Katie. And despite his secretiveness, Hunk had been a good friend, too. Plus, Shiro had been thrilled by the news.
***
Shiro never went on the Kerberos mission, Keith and Allura are humans, Hunk's family is missing, Pidge is still a gremlin, and Lance can't remember his mysterious past. Welcome to the new Voltron.

Summary
Zuko beamed, the smile pulling at the scarred flesh on the left side of his face. He’d learned to appreciate the sensation -- it meant he was happy. And the more time he spent with Sokka, the more often it happened.
“Close your eyes,” he whispered, and like magic, Sokka’s eyes slipped shut.
***
Sokka has limited experience with rain. Zuko wants to change that.

Summary
As he cleared the tree line, he heard Keith yell one more time at his back.
“Don’t expect me to come running if you get in trouble!”
Oh, that asshole. Lance would show him.
“Kogane’s gonna come running like there’s a fire licking at his ass,” he muttered to himself as he made his way further into the thick forest.
***
Lance tries to play a prank. He gets somewhat mixed results.

Summary
His vision blurred from tears and sweat running together and making his eyes sting, and he heard his team screaming his name. They felt far away and he wanted to tell them not to worry, his eyes sluggishly attempting to convey what his clenched jaw couldn’t, but before he could do much of anything, Lance’s view of the desolation Voltron had wrought, of the new Galra fleet, of his fellow Voltron lions, of the giant druid ship with its offensively shaped canon, all faded to darkest black.
***
Voltron is falling apart. Keith has left, Shiro’s acting weird, and Red is shunning Lance. Just when he thought things couldn’t get worse, they did. Lance gets zapped far away to an alternate reality where he struggles to find his footing. He needs to find his way back to the team, fast, and maybe he’ll find himself along the way. Despite his aversion to cliches, he just can't seem to steer clear of them.

Summary
When Keith pulled open the door of the van and slid into the passenger seat half an hour of casual power walking later, he was met with the sight of Pidge switching between several different screens, looking mildly distressed.
Before Keith could ask, they spoke on the com.
“Uh, Pink, slight problem,” they squeaked, still frantically searching for something on the monitor.
“Green? Report,” Allura responded, voice stoic and void of any discernible emotion.
“It’s Blue. He’s gone dark.”
***
Keith is a member an elite task force with one goal: bring down the Galra Empire. In the middle of their most daring operation yet, one that could bring them closer to finally ending the war, they lose contact with a team member and are forced to improvise.
