Summary
A few years after the war, it felt like half the planets in the Coalition had made their own versions of the Voltron story. Movies and television series and plays and musicals spring up in their footsteps, greeting Keith on almost every world he sets foot on.
Keith never paid attention to any of it, when he could help it. He smiles when the refugee children sing their favorite Voltron songs for him, and grits his teeth when world leaders quote his life story at him, and does his best to just ignore all of it. He saves lives these days, tens of thousands of them all over the galaxy, where five years after the war’s end there are still so many planets just barely beginning to stumble back onto their feet. The humanitarian work they do with the Marmora is more important than Keith’s ego - and anyway, as Hunk says when he’s in a dark mood, shutting up and smiling is hardly the worst thing the Council ever asked them to do.
All of this is to explain why he’s blindsided when Shiro's call comes.
