Chapter Text
I’m done. We’re kicking them all out of here, even Larmina. I don’t care if she’s related to Allura, we’re kicking them all out, starting with Daniel. I growl under my breath as I stomp along the castle halls to where I know the kids are at. I take a left and go over to the hangers where I know they are practicing their pilot skills with Keith.
Once I'm in front of the hangers’ door, I take a deep breath to calm myself before I walk through, finding exactly who I wanted, alongside the entire Voltron Force.
“... throttle in the blue zone-”
“Cadets!” I shout, interrupting Keith.
Every head turns toward me and their reactions would have been priceless if not for the cause of it. The cadets had their jaws on the floor like they were shocked. The rest of the force were trying to conceal their laughter. Hunk and Pidge failed miserably as they were already doubling over. At least Allura and Keith were nice enough to not be laughing, but I can tell that Allura was cracking the more she stared. I glared at all of them, even Keith because I can see the smallest twitch on his face that told me he was trying to not laugh.
After a second, I hear a giggle. I turn my glare to the cadets, and that’s when the dam burst and they too started to laugh, with the princess joining them. I just growl as I cross my arms in front of my chest.
“Lance...” That was all the princess could say through her wheezing.
I hear Keith clear his throat and I turn my glare to him, seeing him smiling, “Nice hair,” is all he says.
“Yeah, yeah, laugh it up, but afterward, we’re kicking out Daniel, Vince, and Larmina,” and that’s when Vince’s laughter stopped except for a smile.
“Wait wait wait, you think we did this?” he pointed at himself and the other cadets.
“Who else would dye my hair pink!” I take a step toward them and pointed at my pink hair.
“You might have just thought to put red dye on it and it was pink instead, happens to the best of us,” Keith added as he put a hand on my shoulder.
“No Keith, someone swapped my shampoo for pink hair dye.” I growl out and shake off his hand, “I did not, why would I do that?” and then I looked up at him and saw the glint in eyes that always appeared when we were younger that he did something mischievous. “You.” is all I said before I launched myself at him.
He somehow was able to sidestep before he started to run, laughing now, “No...” he wheezed hard when he saw me chasing him, “It was the mice, I promise you I did not do it.”
I just growl as I start to gain on him, “But you knew, so now I hurt you,” I throw myself at him and tackle him to the ground.
He’s still laughing by the time I get him in a head lock. “Yield.” Is all I say to him.
A tap on my arm makes me release him as I stand up, not bothering to help him up.
“You will pay, I don’t care if I'll have to bite my own arm off, you will pay...” is all I say before I turn back to the others as they’re still laughing.
I just growl before I walk out, mumbling about mice and pink hair.

Chapter 2: Trembling Hands
Summary:
Trembling Hands for the DotU Voltron
Notes:
Anonymous said: Hey. I saw a post that was labeled "Send me a number and I’ll write a micro story using the word or phrase" and I was wondering if you could do number 15 for Kallura? If not fine it's fine.
Number 15 was trembling hands.
Chapter Text
I looked down at the cot that my wife was on as she held a small sleeping child in her arms. I had to blink several times to keep the tears of joy that wanted to escape. Allura looked up at me with a tired smile as she started to nudge the infant toward me.
“Come on Commander, she’s your daughter. You don’t have to be scared of her,“ and she lifted the baby girl toward me.
With my trembling hands, I grabbed my daughter, like I was taught just seconds ago, and held her close. She had my dark hair, but she seemed to have her mother’s face structure. She hasn’t opened her eyes yet, but whatever color they belong to, I know they will be beautiful on her. I let my tears fall.
Chapter 3: Juniberry Tea
Summary:
Juniberry Tea for the VLD Fandom (Kallura)
Notes:
Prompt (OTP): Person B gets into a heated argument with someone. Person B begins threatening them, so Person A, picks up Person B and carries/drags them out of the room before anyone gets hurt.
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)
Chapter Text
“I asked for an unsweet juniberry tea, a simple beverage that I need so my daughter will calm down her kicking. An unsweet juniberry tea, and this is what I get!” Allura was pissed off. She was so mad that she was seeing red. It must be her mood swings but she could care less what it was, she was livid.
“And that is what you got ma’am,” the person at the counter said.
I shake my head as I clench my fists, “This is not an unsweet juniberry tea, this is sweet, and I’m pretty sure it was the bottom of the tea maker,” I growl.
The person just shakes their head, “I’m sorry miss, but we clearly have a no refund policy, and that involves you getting another drink for free,”
“So you want me to pay an additional 5 gac for another drink that I ordered that you guys didn’t give to me correctly!” I growl through clench teeth.
“Yes ma'am,”
“How about you let me talk to your manager,” I demand.
“I am the manager and you will pay for another drink, I am sorry that your original drink was not to your liking but you being picky-“
“Picky!” I shout as I put a hand on my growing bump, “I show you picky on which hand I use for your face,” and I pull back my arm, about to throw my first in the man's face when I feel a hand grab my arm.
I look back, about to snarl something nasty at the accuser when I see purple eyes look at me before he looks back at the person at the counter who looks a little pale.
“I’m sorry about this, but I will take my wife now. Next time get the right tea and make sure it is not the bottom of the maker,” he speaks with a smile as I start to protest.
“No! I want what I ordered and I-“ but before I could demand the drink I payed for, I feel strong arms wrap around my waist and pick me up and tossed over Keith’s shoulder in what I remember being called the firefighter carry.
“Have a great rest of your day,” and with that last comment, Keith carries me out of the shop and back to our transportation to go back home.

Chapter 4: Don't Leave
Summary:
Don't Leave for VLD
Notes:
From Anonymous on Tumblr: Send me a number and I’ll write a micro story using the word or phrase: Could you do number 1 for VLD???
#1 was Don't Leave, and it was a list of prompts that was supposed to be in less than 10 sentences.
Chapter Text
“Don’t leave!“
I turn back around before I see someone jump at me, arms around my waist that holds me in place. I drop my bag onto the ground as my arms immediately wrap around the smaller person.
“Don’t go, please, I can’t lose another brother to space.“
I can feel her trembling, but all I could do was let my arms tighten around her. We stay like that for a couple of minutes (dobashes, I need to make sure I say dobashes) before I speak.
“Pidge, you won’t lose me, I’ll makes sure to call, but I can’t just do nothing, I’m not needed.“
Her arms just tighten around my waist in response.
Chapter 5: Alchemic Strength
Summary:
Alchemic Strength for VLD Voltron
Notes:
VLD-PROMPTS (Tumblr) -- Allura overexerts her alchemic strength while trying desperately to save Keith.
Chapter Text
Quiznack! No, this was not part of the plan. He shouldn't even be here! I look at the witch as she smirked with a crackle before she disappeared behind her purple smoke of haze. I stand there for a full minute before I snap myself out of my daze and sprint over to Keith, his black Bayard a few feet away from his hand.
His eyes are closed, but I can hear his wheezing breathing. I have lived with humans long enough, even visited Earth when we saved the planet, and I know that can't be good. I check his heart and feel it speeding up, but it's still faint. That's not good.
He looks awful. He has a dislocated shoulder from the fight with the huge Galran soldier that I know was in front of the door, a few blast wounds from the sentries that was lucky, and seems to have a messed up wrist from the fall if I remember his shout of the descend, but those are not the wounds that the witch inflicted.
It was supposed to be an easy mission, so easy that I was supposed to go in myself why the others stayed out and made sure not to mess with the structure because it was so unstable. Then we realized this was where all the druids were staying, where the witch was hiding when she wasn't with the other Alteans. I must have screamed out during the attack because the worry voices of my teammates rang out through the coms, and I know they sent a paladin to come help, and of course it had to be Keith. He was the better fighter out of all of them since his time with the blades, but he payed the price with the pain I know he his feeling.
The witch found him before he could really fully set foot into the room. She left the fight we were currently in, and disappeared to the other side of the room where the black paladin was at. I couldn't help, druids coming to attack as their leader probably commanded them to.
I didn't see exactly what happened, just the scream of pain before I was able to get a view, she had a knife and apparently stabbed him through the chest, though I am surprised that he was able to bring up his sword in an attempt to slash the witch, but she was prepared before she spun around him, ripping out the knife as she was behind him. He was too slow to do much before she used her power on him, electrocuted him. His screams echoed along the walls.
He fell onto his back and gasping for breath. I tried to call his name, to let him know that I was going to help him survive, but the druids seemed to double their efforts to kill me because they were everywhere, and I couldn't get to him. I caught glimpses of what was happening, the witch taunting him as she leered over him. I was trying to get to him, to help him, but I was surrounded.
I heard another scream, and turned to see her stepping on his knife wound, twisting her foot as she did it before kneeling down him, still stepping on him, and whisper something in his ear that I did not hear, but from the glimpse I got before I killed another druid, his eyes widen as he tried to stab her with the blade he got from his mother.
The witch just caught his wrist and twisted it, already injuring the broken wrist that he got from the fight he took to get down here, making him drop the blade and just smirk. Before she could do anything else, I let out a viscous yell and let all the quintessence that was in this room explode, causing all druids close to me to explode, turning into ash.
And that's when the witch disappeared, and here I am trying to keep alive a dying man. I hear shouts in my ear piece, but I shut them out, not wanting to tell them that Keith may die.
I'm tired, I know I need to recharge, at least that's what Lance says when I get like this, but I can't not try to save him. He coughs and blood dribble out his mouth.
"A-A-Allur'" he coughs again and I just rub his head.
"You need to keep your s-strength," I stutter as tears start slipping down my cheeks.
He just shakes his head before he sucks in a wheezing breath. I know he's in pain, I know he's starting to fade, I can see his eyes lose that light, but I need him to just stay alive a little bit longer.
"I-I'm going to s-save you, s-so just hold on, got it?" he just closes his eyes, but his chest takes in another shuddering breath.
I bite my lip as I put my hand over the wound, and start gathering up quintessence, no matter how much it burns me. It hurts, it feels like it's burning me from the inside out, but I continue, feeling myself drift off. I don't know how long I'm there, converting quintessence, feeling the burning numb my body, hearing Keith's breath get more raspy before they start to clear, the background noise of my teammates. I don't know how long I'm there, but when I'm done, I collapse on top of Keith, glad that I don't feel the hole that was in his chest.
I close my eyes as I start having feeling come back to me, feeling his body warmth instead of the inferno that I felt from the quintessence. I feel drained, but I'm glad I got to save Keith, the man I love. I let the darkness draw me in as I feel a hand on me...
Chapter 6: Pop
Summary:
Pop for the VLD Voltron
Notes:
VLD-PROMPTS (Tumblr): Keith talks about his father with Allura
Chapter Text
I look at the different picture frames that litter the walls of Keith's cabin. We're out here to see if anything is savable before we go back to space. His mom had to leave so she isn't here to help him put away stuff, so I decided to offer since I have nothing better to do.
The pictures seem to consist of a younger Keith, and another man who I can see the resemblance between Keith, though I think he got most of his shape outline from his mother. I hear footsteps come closer as a hand come on my shoulder, knowing instantly it's Keith.
"That's pop," he says as he grabs a picture.
I look down at it to see him and his father eating cake, Keith's a brown looking one, and his dad a red colored cake. They both are smiling toward the camera, a selfie is what I think the term of the picture is called, with presents on the table.
I hear Keith chuckle lightly, "My father and I share the same birthday, so he will always get us a small cake for each of us separately. I always loved chocolate, and he always loved red velvet, so that's what we got every year." I look up to see him smiling sadly at the photo, "That was the birthday he gave me my mother's blade, and the last birthday we got to share."
I small tear slips down his cheek. I quickly wipe it away with my thumb as I lay my head on his shoulder. We just stare there for a couple of dobashes, minutes, until he shakes his head and started to collect the photos, only mumbling that his mother might want some, and I helped him, glad I knew a little of Keith's father.
Chapter 7: BoM Kosmo
Summary:
BoM Kosmo is for Voltron Legendary Defender
Notes:
VLD-PROMPTS (Tumblr): Kosmo dressed in a BoM uniform, to match Keith and Krolia, of course.
Chapter Text
I don't know how or where Kosmo got a BoM uniform that actually fits him, doesn't bother him, and actually be useful, but he did and he's wearing one now as Krolia and myself are about to go in a meeting. It's kind of funny to see him like this though. The uniform is normal except it has handles on it so Blades could hold onto him, and it's suited for him alone.
I just lightly laugh before we enter the meeting, already coming up with a mental list on who would want to dress up my cosmic wolf in a BoM uniform so he could match Krolia and myself.
Chapter 8: The Red Lion
Summary:
The Red Lion for Voltron Legendary Defender
Notes:
VLD-PROMPTS(Tumblr): An AU where the humans find Red Lion instead of Blue in the cave.
Chapter Text
Ow.
I would not recommend falling down a water slide into a cavern from a cave that had red lion markings all over the walls. Will not recommend, nope, 0 stars out of 5 in experience, but once we got a good view on what was down here, it was amazing.
Behind a barrier, was a very big, mechanical, red lion on it's back legs just sitting there proudly. Then there was a whoosh and suddenly there was images of lions, red, black, green, yellow, and green, flying in streaks of color before combining to make a huge, awesome robot, that I think is called Voltron.
Then the flashes stop and I'm still staring up at the red mechanical lion, one of five, and see the golden eyes following me. I try to walk side to side to see if maybe the I'm just going crazy, but the eyes are definitely staring at me. Creepy, very creepy.
"Does anybody feel like the eyes are following them?"
I just get negative responses, but it's definitely following me. Weird. Maybe my brain got bruised during that fall...
Chapter 9: Hidden Snuggles
Summary:
Hidden Snuggles for VLD Voltron
Notes:
VLD-PROMPTS(Tumblr): Keith goes looking for Kosmo, only to realize that he and Allura are sleeping on the couch.
Chapter Text
Where is he? I know he left when I made him go because I was in a meeting, but now I can't find him anywhere. I hope he isn't too mad. For some reason, space wolves can hold a grudge over you forever until they forgive. I sigh as I go back to my room, hoping I could bribe him into forgiving me.
I let out a yawn as I walk to my room. Once I'm there, I walk in and grab his dog bowl and about to pour food into it when I see him there on the couch, but he isn't alone. Allura is there, laying on top of the cosmic wolf, her upper half on Kosmo, and her lower half folded on the couch. Huh. So this is where he goes when I abandon him, at least I think that's how he feels when I tell him to go.
I see that the mice are there too, nestled into Kosmo's fur and some of Allura's hair. I let a small smile start to spread on my face as I realize that the princess actually does like the wolf. I take out my phone that I got from Pidge, and snapped a couple of pictures of proof. I chuckle quietly to myself as I go and retrieve a blanket from my closet, and gently drape it over her and the animals. She just snuggles into the wolf more.
I guess she does like Kosmo.
Chapter 10: Blanket Hog
Summary:
Blanket Hog for DotU
Notes:
Prompt: Person A and Person B sleeping in the same bed and Person A keeps waking up cold because Person B has pulled all the blankets off of them.
Chapter Text
It was cold. Again. It has been a normal occurrence of me waking up cold and I look at the culprit, Allura. Who knew that the princess could be such a blanket hog? I look over to her and see her snuggle deeper into her burrito of a blanket. I sigh as I roll over and poke her shoulder.
“Allura,” I whisper, not trying to startle her, but just wake her. “Allura,” I shift her golden hair while shifting her shoulder.
“Hmm…” she grounds and pushes her head deeper into her pillow, “Is it practice?”
I stifle a huff of amusement, “No, but I am cold and you have all the blanket,” I smirk as her eyes widen in recognition before, she blushed and smile sleepily.
“Sorry,” she mourners before she unwraps herself and gives me half the blanket.
Once I put it on, feeling how warm it was and how it was shielding me from the cold, I opened my arms a little as an invitation for the princess to come snuggle up.
She didn’t hesitate before she dived into my arms and pushed her head against my chest as she lets out a content sigh. I wrap my arms around her, feeling how warm she was, and drifted off by running my fingers through her golden locks.
Chapter 11: Head Scratches
Summary:
Head Scratches for VLD Voltron
Notes:
Prompt: Person A loving when Person B strokes their hair. Literally loving it.
Chapter Text
The easiest way to make sure Keith doesn’t get too stressed is to just rub his head, or play with his hair. He loves it, absolutely loves it. He will stop whatever he is doing and just relax and makes an almost purring sound like the blue lion. And that is my plan now as I see Keith working on reports for the blades.
“Keith, I think it’s time to go to bed,” I say as I sit down next to him and rest my head on his tense shoulder as I glance at the many reports that are written in small text.
“I’m almost done sweetie,” he responds before he mutters something under his breath and writes down notes on the paper.
I sigh as I roll my eyes and lift my hand until it’s at the base of his skull and I start to lightly scratch him. The reaction is almost immediate. He starts his almost purring sound and his head leans down in top of my own as he goes lax. The papers and pen slip out of his hand and land on the coffee table he was using as a desk.
“That’s cheating,” he slurs a little as I move my hand higher on his head. I just hum to him in answer as he starts to doze off, leaning farther back to the couch as his head stayed on top of mine, making me follow him to the sofa as well.
I turn my head a little to give his shoulder a kiss, “I love you,” and I follow him into slumber.
Chapter 12: Warlord vs. Princess
Summary:
Warlord vs. Princess is for VLD Voltron
Notes:
VLD-PROMPTS(Tumblr): Allura—continuing her father’s war—finds herself on the business end of the blade of a man she’d left heartbroken, now fighting for Zarkon: Warlord Keith.
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)
Chapter Text
I can't believe it. Oh my gosh. I can't- This can't be happening. It doesn't make sense. This should not be happening. It can't be true.
But it is, and I can't do anything about it. I'm at the end of the sword of my ex-lover, Keith, who is working for Zarkon, and he's a warlord. A warlord! He hated the Galra and now he fights with them? It doesn't make sense... but then it does...
He's Galran. Zarkon is a Galran. Galrans are monsters who just love destruction and war. This is why I left Keith. I left him because he was a monster, an enemy. That's why I left him, but I couldn't kill him. I gave him a 24 varga head start before I would find him and kill him myself. I thought he was gone, hidden on some planet that isn't advance enough to fly in the stars, yet here he is, about to kill me.
"I knew you were a monster," I snarl.
I am on my knees, Keith above me with a sword aimed at my neck, pressing into my skin and leaving little beads of blood to fall and slide down my skin, I can feel it. I look up at him to see some changes. When I left him a deca-phoeb ago, he was all but a boy, a boy that had barely any muscle to him, and looked like he needed some goo. Now he's a man who is lean, but clearly has muscle, a new wave of confidence and determination behind him, making others want to follow his orders, no matter what ideals they follow. His eyes are cold, no emotion being shown, a scar lining from a couple inches below his eyes, down his cheek and hiding in his armor. His armor isn't bulky like other warlords, seems to be more useful for agility than actually protecting you from hits.
"I'm not someone who leaves others for no reason," he hisses between clenched teeth, eyes glaring deep into my soul.
"I knew you join their side eventually, and you did that as soon as I left," I respond, glaring right back at him.
He just clench his jaw, like he wants to say something but decides not to, looking around the area to see others watching. He looks back at me, his eyes glowing in the darkening setting as he leans foreword and say something into my ear.
"I didn't join their side, and I definitely didn't do whatever I did to get here as soon as you walked out of that room with a threat and guards dragging me away."
I snapped my head toward him, minding the sword that was still being pressed into my neck, as I looked into his almost black eyes, showing a very dark purple color. From this distance between us, I can see the different emotions swirling in those orbs. Drawing me in, and I can't fight my way out. For a tick, so fast I could have missed it, I saw the old Keith, the Keith I left, looking at me with love and adoration, something I reflected when I looked back at him. But that was before the war, before he turned into a killing beast that loved war, blood, and killing. He's almost as bad as Zarkon, except this time, it's personal.
"Well," I snarl as he pulls away, turning back to the warlord that commands presence amongst everybody with a rank, "You're obviously used those vargas I gave you graciously didn't you, almost as a high ranking as Sendak, maybe even better than him, Yorak," I smirked at him, "You're known as one of the most successful warlords out there, for just a halfbreed."
I shake my head as I feel the sword dig into my neck more.
"I don't turn my backs on my men, I make sure everybody survives, and then I am respected, and up I go in ranks," Keith - no, Yorak, that's all he is now - says with a shrug.
"One of Zarkon's best because of that I assume. You might even be apart of the scavenger for the black lion, since that's the only lion missing that the Galran took, and I know he doesn't have it." I snarl.
All he does is just glare at me. For a tick there's silence before he speaks, voice calm and almost lazy like.
"What if he does have the lion? What if he's just preparing for a war he knows you can't win without the defender of the universe?" and that makes me pale, "You see, Princess Allura, you don't really know what's going on throughout the empire. You just know the empire is winning and you are losing, about to lose your planet. If only you had some help," he hummed with a tilt of his head.
That get's me thinking, but in a tick, he lunges, removes the blade from my neck, and I feel a pain erupt on the back of my head before darkness takes over my vision and swallows me, leaving me to see eyes of someone I once knew...
Notes:
This will be a sneak peek of what I will write for another story, either a very long one-shot, or a multichapter fic

Chapter 13: Couch Naps
Summary:
Couch Naps for any Voltron iteration
Notes:
Prompt: Allura falling asleep on Keith’s shoulder/chest/lap and Keith really needs to get up to go do something but doesn’t want to wake Allura.
Chapter Text
Great. Just great. Allura has fallen asleep on my lap while we were watching t.v. and now it’s time for my meeting, but one look at her peaceful face, I know that I won’t be able to. She has been more stressed recently, I don’t know why, she just is for some reason, and hasn’t been able to get a good night rest without waking up in the middle of the night, resulting in waking me up.
This movie was so that she could relax before I left for my meeting, not so she could have fallen asleep on my lap, though I don’t usually mind, but I do have an important meeting with some ambassadors. I sigh as I look back down at her peaceful face. She's facing toward me, snuggling into my stomach as her hair splays out over my lap.
She has her two arms wrapped around my midsection, and every time I try to mover from under, she will tighten her hold and snuggle deeper into my stomach. What am I going to do? I look at my watch to see that the meeting will start in ten minutes, and I know I won’t be able to escape Allura and be able to get there in time, the walk itself taking ten minutes.
I guess I won’t be able to go today. That's okay though, I'm sure Lance would love to go in my place, besides, that’s what right arms do. I reach for my phone, lucky it’s not too far from me, and send a quick text before I put my phone on silent and lean further back into the couch, starting to run my hand through her long hair. She lets out a content sigh that brings a smile to my face as I drift off to sleep, joining Allura into the dream world.
Chapter Text
It was just for one night; it should be okay right? One night and I could go back like it was before, I should be fine. One night won’t make a difference, right? It wouldn’t matter, it’s for one night only. I sneak out my room, go down the stairs, and quickly toward the kitchen. I know what my guardian has said about doing what I’m about to, but I’ve been doing what she told me to do for a month, and I really need just one night to do it so I can continue. It won’t become a routine, it’s only for one night.
I go toward the freezer, take a deep breath, and open it up. I have to go to the back of the freezer to find what I want, but I want it for one night so I don’t give up. One night only, I remind myself. I grab my target, quietly close the freezer, making sure it could not be heard from upstairs, and walk over to the draw where a bunch of silverware laid. I grab the big spoon, open up the ice-cream tub, and happily scoop some out before I eat it. It was delicious.
One month of this diet and I have been craving for this. One night. Just one night. I have to remember that, my guardian will have my head I didn’t go by the diet rules and all that. It's my cheat day, I should have one once a month, and tonight was that night. A simple cheat day, cheat night technically, for the long nights and days I will have to do once the sun rises.
Chapter 15: Car Naps
Summary:
Car Naps for Voltron Legendary Defender
Notes:
Prompt: Person A falling asleep during the car ride home and Person B carrying them into the house.
Chapter Text
I park the car and look over to the passenger seat to see Allura has fallen asleep. We were taking a break from this whole ‘saving Earth’ and I decided to go on a drive, and Allura joined. So, we drove around the desert and saw some camps, but other than that nothing. We stopped nearby a cliff and watched the sunset and saw the stars. They were really bright out tonight. Once it got too cold for both of us to stay out here without freezing, we decided to go back to Garrison.
Apparently, the drive had lulled Allura to sleep. I look around the hangar to see that it’s empty, and it should be at eleven at night. I look back at the sleeping princess, actually looking like her age. I sigh as I step out of the vehicle and go over to her side, happy that she isn’t leaning into the door. I open it, and quickly unbuckle her, allowing her head to roll onto my shoulder.
I gently pick her up from her seat, and closed the door quietly and started the trek to her room. She wasn’t heavy, so it was much easier to walk down the halls of the Garrison. Lucky enough to not have run into any Garrison personal. Her room is pretty close to the hangers, so after a few minutes of walking, we end up at her room. I grab her key card from her pocket and her door slides open.
It's a small room so I don’t take long to find her bed. I place her on her bed, and cover her with the blanket. She snuggles into the bed, wrapping the blanket closer to her body and letting out a sigh. I move a strand of hair away from her face, before I leave her room and go back to my own room, heading to bed myself.
Chapter 16: Brother's Reunited
Summary:
Brother's Reunited for VLD
Chapter Text
Nobody told me what I would fall when I realized my brother was not dead, but instead just taken by aliens. Nobody told me how I would feel when I see my brother contained with a metal arm and a white poof of hair just in front of his eyes that goes along with a scar on the bridge of his nose. Nobody told me how it would feel to have my brother back. I’m not used to losing someone and getting them back, it just doesn’t happen.
So when I saw Shiro when I was getting into the camp, I was surprised to say the least. He looked different, but he was still my brother, and he was back, not dead in cold space. Now that I'm back in my shack, and everything seems calm, I get a look at the situation. It's easy really.
I just got my brother back from space, the garrison lied to me, I stole from Garrison by taking Shiro, I have three cadets in the living room who are very loud, and I am sure I would go to jail for a while because of all my crimes. Great. Just another day in my life. I look over at Shiro and see he’s in whatever type of clothing he’s wearing, a black jumpsuit and a faint purple ripped shirt that is kind of loose on him. I go over to my closet and look for some clothes that’ll fit him, which turns out my father's clothes.
I hear a groan behind me once I found the right outfit for my older brother, making me turn around so fast I'm surprised I don’t have whiplashed.
“Shiro?” I murmur as I go over to him slowly, making sure I don’t scare him as the last time he was awake, he was in Garrison's clutches.
He seems disorientated, probably from the drug still in his system. His eyes go all over the place before his eyes land on me. He squints, only for a second, before his eyes widen in surprise.
“Keith?”
“Yeah, that’s me,” I like my suddenly dry lips as I make sure to hold out my hands so he can see what I’m doing, knowing this usually helps when you come out of something like that.
“Is it really you?” he stands, a little wobblier than I like, but I know that any fast movement could scare him, so I just wince quietly.
I walk closer to him, and once I'm close enough, I open my arms for a hug, just like he did for me when I was younger. He hesitates for a quick second, like he can’t believe I’m here, but he collapses into me and squeezes me, like I’m a phantom of his imagination and I could leave at any time, but I don’t. I wrap my arms around him, a little out of my comfort zone and squeeze back as I hug him back, feeling his warmth and knowing that he isn’t freezing out in space like the Garrison wanted us to believe.
It feels so good to be reunited with my brother.

Chapter 18: Hold Me
Summary:
Hold Me for VLD
Notes:
Prompt: Keith holding a sobbing Allura. Allura cries herself to sleep with their face buried into Keith.
Chapter Text
He’s gone, actually gone. I don’t know how he could be gone, but he just is. I bury my face into my arms that are laying on my knees, I can’t help it. He's gone and won’t come back and I can’t do anything. I cry, hard. I scream into my arms. I don’t care if anybody hears my cries of pain, I don’t care. They can go and quiznack themselves. He's gone and I can’t do anything.
I hear my door slide open, letting in a sliver of light before the door closes, but I can sense the person still here. I don’t want whoever it is in here.
“Go away,” I growl, burying my head more into my arms.
“Allura, it’s me,” and my head snaps up to see Keith.
“He’s gone, and I couldn’t do anything,” I whisper as he walks over to me.
I start to shake as another round of tears start to build up behind my eyes and spill over my cheeks and onto my arms. Keith sits on the bed, the bed dipping under his weight. I feel his hand on my shoulder as he pulls me onto himself. I'm leaning onto him, my head being cradled into his chest with one hand rubbing my head, his other hand rubbing my back in circles.
“It’s my fault,” I hate how my voice cracks with emotion, but I can’t do anything about it, “It’s my fault he’s gone. He warned me, but I didn’t listen and now he’s gone and I could have stopped him but I didn’t and now he’s-”
“Shh” Keith responds as he starts rocking me, “It’s not your fault, you didn’t know what was going to happen. Nobody did. If anything, it was my fault. I am the leader, I should have said something, I should have reacted quicker, but I didn’t-”
I shake my head in disagreement, “It’s not your fault, you no choice over those acts.”
“Then it isn’t your fault. He would have wanted us to save the planet with thousands of families on it then let his life stay in the way, that’s why he’s gone, for the sake of those families, and he had to stay to flip the switch to stop the magnetic currents from destroying everything. He had a plan, we went along, and he gave up his life. We can’t do anything because now it’s in the past.”
Just like him. I won’t be able to see his smile or hear him try to ressure me, he’s gone. In the past. Just a memory. Just another body lost in this war and it’s my fault. No. Zarkon. Him and his empire. They killed him. I will kill him and every last Galran on his side. For him.
I nod my head into his chest and continue to cry. I listen to his heartbeat, a constant rhythm that doesn’t falter. Something that helps me stay here in the present than go back in memory. I listen to it and his breathing as my tears quiet, and soon, my breathing slows, and I start drifting off, feeling Keith’s arms hold me, and his firm chest with his heart beat beating a constant thump thump thump under my head. And then nothing, just blackness that swallows me whole and I happily let it consume me.
Chapter 19: Nerves
Summary:
Nerves for DotU
Notes:
Prompt: Allura touching Keith as a show of affection/reassurance.
Chapter Text
I can’t do this. What if he hates me? What if he declines? I can’t risk it. I'm just going to go back to my reports and not think about. Right, good plan. I gulp as I try to race in my room for the door before Allura comes in.
“Hey princess, what are you doing here?” I gulp as I ask a stupid question with my voice the wrong octave.
She just quirks her eyebrow at me with a smile, “Since when do you call me by my title? And I'm here to make sure you actually come meet him then run off,” she giggles at me.
“Hey, you are my princess, so I should be able to say that, and why would I be doing reports?” I put my hands in my pocket as I look up at her.
“Come on Keith, I know you are the fearless commander and all, but whenever I try to let you meet someone close, you get really nervous, but you try to either hide it or just avoid it, you did that with my uncle,” she sighs as she shakes her head.
“Yeah, but I should be scared, they are your family, and this is your dad we’re about to meet up, and I have to ask him to make sure I can even date you.” I grumble.
She tilts her head before she narrows her eyes at me, “What makes you say that you have to ask him?”
“I read on your Arusian history,” I shrug my shoulders.
“For fun or because you wanting to court me?”
“I will not answer that question.”
“You did it for fun then,” she shakes her head before she walks over to me and takes my hand and squeezes it, “You don’t need to be nervous around my father, you’re already met, and he approved you to fly the black lion and lead Voltron.”
“Yeah, but most fathers would say their children, in his case only daughter, be their best creation.”
She just sighs as she wraps her arms around my neck, allowing me to move her golden hair behind her ear before I place my hands on her waist. She rubs my neck in comfort, allowing me to sigh.
“He’s going to love you, how many times have you saved me from Lotor? Protect me from the evils around the universe? Enough times that he will know you truly love me and that’s all he wants for me, someone I truly love. You do fine.”
I sigh and nod my head as she lets go and pull me to the crypt where her father lays. What she doesn’t know is that it’s not so much of meeting her father as someone who is courting his daughter, but someone who wants to purpose to his only daughter. And if he says no, then I will have to wait until he lets us, because as the moon rises and reflects on her fair skin, I know I won’t be able to not love her forever.
Chapter 20: Eyes
Summary:
Eyes for Voltron Force (2011)
Notes:
Prompt: Allura - You know, I really like your eyes, Keith.
Chapter Text
I felt so nice and warm, that I didn’t want to wake up, so I didn’t open my eyes for another five minutes until the sun was too bright to ignore. With a sigh, I open my eyes and quickly roll over, closer to the arms of my lover. I look up to see the commander still sleeping. Ha! I woke up before him. That never happened before, and especially after his ten years on the run, he’s always awake before me.
So, I just stare at me. I know, being creepy is weird, but I haven't seen him for ten years, and he only came back just a month ago, so I never really got to just stare at him, and the changes on his face. He looks more peaceful when he’s asleep than awake. I just stare and try to take a mental snapshot, at least that’s what humans would say, and try to take in all his facial details.
He has a very small scar on his chin, not noticeable unless you are right up close to him like I am, but still there. He has another near his eyebrow, hiding along the small hairs above his eye, the right one. There're some bags under his eyes, showing the long nights and early hours of the days weighing him down. I place my hand on his head and feel the soft hair, and hear him sigh as I start giving him head scratches, remembering how much he loves them.
I do that for a few minutes before he starts to awake, his eyes opening up, showing me the cool blue eyes that he got, different than the almost brown eyes he had. Once his eyes land on me, I see him smile, lighting up his eyes. I smile back at him as I lean in for a morning kiss, which he happily returns.
“Good morning,” he whispers, voice still groggy from sleep.
“Good morning,” I look more at him as I take in his eyes, “You know, I really like your eyes.”
He just quirks his eyebrow in question by my random comment, making me laugh.
“No, no, I really do. They reflect on your emotions, darkening when your mood isn’t good, and brightening when your mood is good, very funny to watch.”
He just smiles as he looks me in the eye, “Well, I really like your eyes. They always seem to be shining, no matter what mood you’re in.”
And I just laugh at his observation. We are quiet for a moment, just staring at each other with easy smiles on our faces.
“We should really go wake the cadets,” he points out and I just groan as he smiles at my pain.

Sendak's Pet Peeve for VLD

VLD PROMPTS (Tumblr): Of all the unique characteristics of humans - weak, strong, charming, repulsive - there’s one in particular that catches Sendak by surprise.
Chapter Text
Talking. A simple thing that most species due on a regular basis, but for some reason, humans can talk and talk and never grow tired. They talk so much, sometimes even in their sleep, I mean, you would think that they were get tired, but no, they just continue to talk. They talk about a bunch of nonsense most of the time, and when they do talk about something serious they still somehow weasel in nonsense in there.
I remember having to listen to them talk when I was captured by them, and even when they were talking about my memories, they were talking about nonsense. It's annoying.
It's not like I can silence them, I tried that, but they just try to talk through the barrier, and just continue on like nothing happened. We need them to talk though, need the information they have, but they won't talk about what I want them to do, just nonsense.
They are annoying with their jumbled up words, sometimes even changing the language into to something I never have heard of before, and that's even worse because now I don't know the nonsense they're talking about, knowing if what they say are something I need to know.
The one in blue talks about absolutely nothing, saying words in a whole new language that I haven't heard the others speak. The yellow one just rambles nervously, always twitching a limb and it is really annoying. The green insults us, calling us names that I have no idea what they mean. The red one just growls and grunts, I like that one the best, he's the most quiet, and so much fun to break. The black is doesn't talk much, but when the others go at it, he joins in and it's just annoying, always giving me a headache that seems to last for ages.
Talking. I just wish those damn humans who just shut the-
Chapter 22: Workaholic
Summary:
Workaholic for VLD
Notes:
VLD Prompts(Tumblr): As the Paladins break formation to retire after a long day of training, Allura and Keith both stay behind to keep working.
Chapter Text
"Alright team, disband!" and Voltron disbands into five lions, "Good practice team, I think we deserve a break for the next few days before take off."
The other paladins all whoop and holler on their way down to the Garrison hangers where the lions are stationed. I quickly fly there and run out the lion's mouth, and race toward my room, quickly changing out of my armor and into my appropriate garrison clothing and race to the meeting room. I stop right in front of the door and quickly snap on my watch, seeing I only have five minutes until the meeting begins.
I quickly fix my hair and make sure my uniform is straightened, catching my breath before I open the door, but I hear quick measured footsteps my way. I turn and see the princess speed walking down the hall while trying to fix one of her earrings. I wait for her to catch up before I open the door and allow her to go in before I follow her in, sitting in the seat beside her near the front of the table.
"Thank you Keith, and Princess," Shiro acknowledges before he begins the meeting.
The meeting is too long, only an hour and a half, but it's boring and basically just review since I'm the one who has given the information myself, even have helped out with the events we were discussing today. Once the meeting is done, both Allura and I quickly walk over to the next meeting we have on our agenda with the rebels and blades, having to know if they will help with the battle against Honerva or not. The meeting only lasts for an hour, but puts us an hour after dinner was served.
I look over the princess and see her sigh, "Want to come with me to the cafeteria in an hour for late dinner? I have some reports I need to finish," I ask as I rub the back of my neck, massaging at the tense muscle.
"I would love to, I need to check in with the Altean anyway so I should be ready by then," I smile at her and we go our separate ways, with her to the med bay and myself to my 'Office', which is really just a room adjacent to my dorm and a lot smaller. I look at the piles of reports and just sigh as I go and finish the pile up.
Once I'm done, finally, only 55 minutes have passed, so I quickly walk over to Allura's room and knock, getting an immediate response by the door opening and Allura coming out.
"Shall we?" and I lift my arm up for her to take and we continue our trek down to the cafeteria.
Chapter 23: Stupid Abyss
Summary:
Stupid Abyss for VLD
Notes:
Kallura Week 2021 Prompt: Angst (A piece of a work I didn't finish)
Chapter Text
The quantum abyss doesn’t just show the past, but the future as well. Sometimes the flashes are just images or full-on scenes from the past, or the future. Just last week there was only flashes of the future, apparently, I'm going to have to fight Shiro, but beside the point, the quantum abyss shows many things. But sometimes I think the abyss also shows different realities because if it could look at the past and future of somebody’s life, why not accidently see other realities’ future? That has to be the reason of the most recent flash.
It just has to be because that it is the only reasoning of this series of flashes of the future. It feels like it’s teasing me though, showing me glimpses of a life I want so badly, but I know I won’t be able to have. A family. That's what I want. Something I didn’t have for most of my life. I want a family that won’t leave me like so many have done in the past. It's all I want, but the universe must either hates my guts, or it just loves making me miserable.
Once I come back from the flashes, I quickly wipe my eyes that are definitely not wet, and I walk out of the cave with the wolf pup following me out. Krolia doesn’t try to call out to me, which I am grateful for, as I go take a walk to clear my head to get rid of those images of a family that I won’t have. I walk to the water fall and sit down at the edge of it, watching the water move as some water droplets hits me, feeling small pinpricks on my skin. Normally that would have been nice, exactly what I needed, but the sensation was too close to what the flashes were.
I shake my head, trying to scatter the thoughts, and put my hands together to cup some water to splash on my face. It helps me feel a little refreshed, loose those images of a life I just can’t have. I do that a couple of times before I stand. I shake my head to get most of the water out of my hair. I look over to the wolf and see him lying there, watching me. I walk over to him and pet him for a minute before I start looking for some wood, making sure I forget about the glimpses of a life that I want, of a life that some alternate version of me will have.
I start thinking about the training that Krolia has put me in so that I could be ready for the vision of the future that we had last week, if it’s even this reality, I start thinking about how the training with Kosmo is coming along, I start thinking of those lucky bastards in the other uni-
NO! None of that! I’m supposed to not be thinking about that. I’m not supposed to be thinking of someone who has white fluffy hair by my side, I'm not supposed to be thinking about people who look like a mix of me, and my true love, I’m not supposed to think about a happy ending after the war. I just can’t be thinking about it. It's a life in another universe where I'm not some misfit, a lone wolf, a nobody who the universe loves to just laugh at.
I just can’t.
And then there’s that familiar feeling again that always happen right before a vision is shown. I groan internally as I squeeze my eyes shut as I wait for the flashes of either the future, the past, or the better me in another universe.
Chapter 24: Let me save you
Summary:
Let me save you is for VLD
Notes:
Discord Prompt: "Please. Let me save you."
Chapter Text
"Please. Let me save you," my tears fall onto his pale face.
He tries to shake his head but he just gasps and scrunches his face in pain. I let out a sob at the feel of blood under my hands. The knife went in deep and the only reason why he's not bleeding out is because of said knife still buried in him.
"Keith," I lower my head so our foreheads are touching, "I can't lose anyone else. I can't lose you. I need you."
He takes a shaky inhale and a whine escapes him, "N-no. Y-You co-could get killed. Just g-go," but I'm already shaking my head as I grit my teeth at his stubborn personality.
"I'm n-not leaving you nor I-I'm letting y-you die."
"J-just go a-and save y-yourself. Th-the others need you," he coughs up a glob of blood as tears fall from his own eyes at the pain.
"No! We all need you... I need you!"
“Just go A-Allura!”
“No!”

Chapter 26: Hogwarts Houses
Summary:
Hogwarts Houses for VLD
Notes:
VLD-PROMPTS(Tumblr): Hogwarts!AU - the Paladins get Sorted.
Chapter Text
"Hmmmm..." The sorting hat hums with a twist of it's face before it speaks, "Slytherin."
Pidge smiles wide before the hat is taken off her head and bounces over to her brother. Hunk is called up and walks up slowly as he fiddles with his fingers and sits on the chair. The hat is placed on his head and the hat takes only a second before it sorts him.
"Hufflepuff."
Hunk smiles wide and walks to his house, retrieving a pat on the back from Lance. Lance's name echoes in the room and he walks up before he plops on the chair with an aura of confidence. The sorting hat is placed on his head and the face twists after a second.
"Decisions decisions decisions," and Lance's confident façade falters for a second, "Gryffindor."
Lance sighs in relief before he too bounces over to his house and his family comes to congratulate him. Allura gets called up and walks over to the chair. The hat is placed on her neatly braided hair and the hat almost seems to be happy.
"If it isn't the great daughter of Alfor," and Allura blushes before she smiles a little, "You should continue his legend in Gryffindor."
The small smile on her face explodes in happiness before she joins Lance and his family. I hear my name get called and I feel my heartbeat race. I take a shaky step forward before I look over to Shiro who is standing with his Ravens and giving me a reassuring smile before I start to walk confidently toward the chair that would decide my fate here in Hogwarts. The hat falls on my head and I could feel it wiggle for a second, almost ticklish with the way my hair skims my neck. It shifts downward as if it could look me in my eyes but from it's position I think it could only see my legs.
"Ahhh... A tricky one you will be," and I gulp at what the hat said.
It takes another few seconds before it speaks.
"You're harder than your mother. Your personality belongs in another house while your heart and mind belong to a completely different."
My brain halts at the thought of my mother sitting in the same position as I am, wearing the same hat on her head as I do tonight. I clench my fists as I wait for my fate.
"This is certainly a hard one," my heart is pounding and I try to be as patient as I can with the anticipation, "Gryffindor."
And I release a breath of relief.
"You have a strong heart," and the hat is taken off my head.
It leaves me shocked for a moment before the roar from my house and friends calls me back to the moment and I smile at the future I have here.
Chapter 27: Everything Hurts
Summary:
Everything Hurts for VLD
Notes:
Kallura Week 2021 Prompt: Angst (A piece of a work I didn't finish. Part 1 is Ch.23 Stupid Abyss)
Chapter Text
Pain. I feel it everywhere. I haven’t gotten checked yet, knowing I will have to be away from my brotherly figure, but it hurts. It's not all physical pain either, some of its mental, or well I think it will be if you have a pounding headache that just won’t go away, and I have some emotionally. Shiro’s body may reject his spirit, but that’s not all that hurts. It's the feeling I have with Allura. I’ve been hurting for a long time, and I can’t just let go of it.
I want to believe that she loves me too, that she feels the same way I do to her. It's not all hopeless wishing, maybe it is, but I've seen her look at me when I'm not. I want to say she’s here to just be here while the others ran off. I want to think that maybe the visions are true, just enough, for her to feel something with me. I want to believe.
I just... can’t. Because I know that I will get no happy ending, it’s not written out that way. I’m supposed to live alone amongst others, pretending to be happy when really, I'm just slowing dying inside. I lived like that for a while now, and no amount of time can just get rid of that feeling.
Chapter 28: Space Pizza
Summary:
Space Pizza for VLD
Notes:
VLD Prompts(Tumblr): Hunk makes an improvised pizza with space ingredients.
Chapter Text
"Bon Appetit!" I announce as I put down plates of space pizza.
"Hopefully it smells as good as it tastes," Shiro comments and I just nod my head with enthusiasm.
They all seem to look down at the same time. There is a second of hesitation before Lance looks up with a confusion written all over his face.
"Hunk, buddy, my pal, what is this?" I almost laugh at his face because it was the same one I had when I first made this weeks ago.
"Pizza!"
"Is it now..." Pidge mutters before she starts poking her food.
"Trust me. I have never given you food that wasn't safe first. I first made this weeks ago and perfected it. It is totally safe to eat. Besides, who doesn't love bacon flavored pizza?"
There's silence before I hear Keith sigh and take a hesitant bite. This is it. Keith's taste buds could make the others not want to try space pizza or convince them I know what I'm doing with these space ingredients.
Everyone is staring at the current red paladin as he chews slowly. Each tick that goes by my heart beats loudly with anticipation. It takes about a dobash before his eyes widens in pleasure and quickly takes another bite. I sigh in relief at the reaction and watch the others as they take a bite and happily consume the space pizza.
Chapter 29: Love...

VLD-PROMPTS(tumblr): Hunk and Shay write love letters.
Notes:
Love... for VLD
Chapter Text
Dear Shay,
I’ve never tried writing letters to someone, especially to a cool rock lady before, but there’s a first for everything, am I right? How are the Balmeran doing? How’s your family? We’re doing pretty good out here, already in the process of making a plan to put a stop the Galran empire with these cool galran space ninjas. Um, I don’t really know what to say on this, maybe if you write back I might be able to come up with something else… Oh! I found this cool herb that kind of like a chili? A spicy type of plant from Earth, but maybe the next time I visit, hopefully soon, I can show you my mother’s famous chili that’s a family secret that I may share with you while watching the sunrise? Any who, cannot wait to see you again.
Love Hunk
7 days (quintants) later
Dear Hunk,
I have never needed to write a letter to someone before, always being able to talk to others through the Balmeran, but it was fun learning how to write in your language to reply, thanks to the princess on her visit here. The Balmeran is doing great and it is healthy, though I think it misses your scratches. My family is doing well, my grandmother got sick a few quintants ago, but she’s fine now. I heard only parts of your plan from the princess on her last visit, though I have hoped you would have come and visited so we could have watched the sunset, though I make sure to think of you on every dawn. I think you would like the soft yellows and blue that rise with big star that shines on our home. I would feel honored to eat your chili, and learn how to make your family’s chili, it sounds delicious. I only know some Balmeran cultural foods, but I would love for you to teach me some of your Earthen foods. Cannot wait for my course in cooking from the yellow paladin.
Love Shay.

VLD-PROMPTS(tumblr): Keith secretly takes drawing lessons after the Game Show fiasco.
Notes:
Drawing Lessons for VLD
Chapter Text
I’m bored, like really bored. This whole traveling to Earth thing is boring. I have already done my workout routine, but I could only do so much with limited space. We switched recently, and I have Romelle and Kosmo in the cargo of the Black lion. I’m tired, exhausted really, but too wind up to rest. I stifle a yawn before I go grab a water pouch, passing the Altean, and the cosmic wolf. I grab an opened packet, take a gulp, before I return to the pilot seat… until I catch what Romelle is doing.
She’s drawing. It seems like a person… an Altean to be exact with orange hair it seems.
“Who’s that?” I ask her.
She startles as she looks up at me with wide eyes and a huff of laughter, “You scared me.”
“Sorry,” I smile at her before I nod at her drawing, “Who’s that. It looks really good.”
“Oh, this is my brother, Bandor.”
“Oh.” I turn my head a little to get a better look at the picture.
“Can you draw?”
An innocent question that instantly brings me flashbacks of the interaction with Bob and the gameshow fiasco. I burst out laughter at the question as I shake my head.
“No, I am awful at drawing, I made myself a fool in front of Bob with my drawings.”
He eyes widen as she smirks, “The Keith Kogane cannot draw?”
I groan at her tone, “You’ve been spending too much time with Lance.” and she just giggles at me.
“Maybe,” she shrugs as she looks at her drawing, “My mother taught me how to draw, and I taught my brother how to draw…” she takes a deep breathe before she continues, “But he never finished his lessons.”
I see a tear escape her eyes as she quickly wipes it away. I knew her and her brother were close, like super close. I knew he died because of Lotor’s experiments, making her heartbroken, but I didn’t know that she didn’t get to finish teaching him things. Romelle has become like a little sister to me, and I hate it when she seems to get stuck in the past, so I sigh and sit down next to her as I open my arms, offering her a hug if she wants one.
She seems startled by the action, but once she gets her senses, she collapses into my arms. She doesn’t cry, only a few tears fall because she already cried, and now it’s like an empty feeling left that can’t go away. I rub her back and we stay there for five minutes before she lets go and rubs her eyes.
“Do you want to teach me?” I ask her hesitantly, knowing how much she loves to share what she did on the colony with others.
She perks up instantly, her face brightening, “Sure!” and she gets up to retrieve whatever she needs.
“Just don’t tell the others!” I shout at her, knowing how Lance had picked on me about my drawing abilities.
It’s not my fault that I rather be swinging a sword at a person then a pencil on a paper. It’s not. I’m the victim here.
A few minutes later she returns with a lot of paper and pencils, and what looks like paint with Kosmo in tow holding pens that I have to write notes in the cockpit.
“Okay! Now, I want you to draw a person, I need to see what you can and can’t do.”
I take a paper and a pencil before I draw a person…
Which turned out to be a stick person…
“Keith, is that really what you call a person?”
“Romelle,” I sigh as I look up at her and the stick person before I look at her in the eye, “This is the best stick person I have made, the lines are straight without a ruler or something, and even the eyes and smile is perfect, this is the best I can do.”
She just groans as she rubs her temples, “This is going to take a while, at least Bandor had a bit more of a head start.”
I just groan as I put down my pencil and cross my arms as I try to make sure I focus on what she does. Kosmo seems to huff at my drawing too. I thought he was on my side. Traitor. I remember this the next time-
“Now I want you to put your artist cap on, and let’s begin,” she says with a smile like Coran’s, and she teaches me how to draw…

"What is this!?"
My head shoots up at the shout and I see Pidge staring at a container that I know is not her own and I quickly jump over a chair before I snatch it out of her hands, "Mine."
She stares at me as I walk around the counter, "What is that?"
I roll my eyes at her question. I thought she was the genius here.
"Ice cream."
"That is not ice cream. Ice cream doesn't have glitter in its recipe."
"This one does. I created it last night and it tastes amazing. Everything is balanced and I got it all from space and it represents me all in one container. Each flavor is like a little piece of me."
She makes a disguisted look at the thought and I just grin at her before I get a spoon and take a bite. I sigh in contentment, best ice cream flavor.
"What flavor is it?"
I smirk at her question, "Razzle Dazzle, taste the sparkle."

Notes:
Family Secrets for VLD
Chapter Text
"Now remember son, this meal is a family recipe. You can't just give this to whoever you want. It has to be a family member who you trust with your life to never share the secrets of our family. My father taught me and gave me the same speech like his father, and his father before him. Do you understand?"
I look down at my own son as he smiles up at me with a missing tooth and wide eyes that match my own. I can see him trying to look over the pot but he's only so tall and can barely see past the rim. I pick him up and place him on my hip as he grabs my neck and leans over the pot to look down at the contents in the small pot.
He looks back at me with a tilt of his head and points at the pot, "What is that, Daddy?"
I move some of his hair out of his eyes before I answer him, "A family tradition that must be kept a secret from everybody, including all your uncles and aunts... And mommy."
Chapter 34: Last Stand
Summary:
Discord Prompt: "If this is our last stand... then we better give it everything we got"
Notes:
Last Stand is for VLD
Chapter Text
"If this is our last stand... then we better give it everything we got."
I look around at us as we stand before the defender of the universe. With my helmet under my arm I sigh as I try to breathe through the aching feeling in my chest. They're too young. We're too young. We shouldn't be in this war to begin with. We shouldn't be fighting witches and mislead alteans. We shouldn't have to let an evil entity take over one of our own body so we can defeat the evil that wants to destroy all universes. Our lives barely just started, we are barely adults. We were kids when we started and hear we are where we might die.
All of us has a family we need to get back to. Hunk with his parents and cousins and older sister. Pidge with her parents and brother and dog. Lance with his whole army of a family. Allura with Coran and the alteans and her mice. They all have family and most of them just reunited with them. It's too soon to be pulled away from them, too early to have to say goodbye and be grieved all over again. I'm too young to be feeling this tired and worn out. I just want a break, we all need one.
This could be our last battle and we did it at a too young of age. If we were grown up could we be father ahead in this war? Could it have been finished so much sooner? Would we be betrayed over and over again until we don't who to trust anymore? Would we be able to avoid the nightmares and fears we have obtained over this mission? Would things be different? Would it?
I look around at my too tired team and pray that at least they can go home with their families and be able to live the rest of their days in happiness. I want that too but the visions of the future doesn't lie and if one of us has to make the sacrifice than I would gladly do it in hopes that they can come back and be happy and have the ability to grow up. They have become my family and if one of them gets hurt then there would be bloodshed. I don't say none of this though.
"See you on the other side."
Chapter 35: Christmas Kiss
Summary:
Prompt from Discord: "Kiss?"
Chapter Text
"Kiss?"
I look up to see the mistletoe we are under and remember what the humans said about the plant during Christmas time. I look away from the bright red petals or whatever it was and look into Keith's eyes as I push back some of my white hair behind my ear.
"Kiss," and that's what we did while everyone hollered in the background.
Notes:
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
Chapter 36: First Snow
Summary:
VLD-PROMPTS(Tumblr): Allura is introduced to snow for the first time.
Chapter Text
I see Allura shiver as she clutches her arms in a sad attempt to stay warm. I walk closer to her until our arms are grazing each other.
"Are you cold?"
She shivers again before she answers, "Just a little."
I nod my head before I start taking off my father's jacket and placing it on her shoulders. I see her shiver again before she looks like she melted into the jacket. She closes her eyes in content before she snaps them open and look up at me.
"Won't you be cold?"
I shake my head, "Nah, my galra blood runs hotter than most. The weather doesn't feel too bad."
She hums as she puts her arms through the too long sleeve and wraps her up in the big jacket, "Thank you."
I smile at her as I shrug my shoulders, "No problem princess," and we continue to watch the first snow fall on Christmas.

"How much did you drink today?" He just shakes his head and I sigh, "How much have you ate?" Another shake of his head and I groan as he just continues to work away at whatever code he is deep into right now. "How much have you slept?"
There's a pause in his typing before he shrugs his shoulders, "About four and a half hours this week," and he misses my widen eyes.
I set down the plate on one of his metal tables, avoid DUM-E's claw, and grab his shoulder as I wave at his screen to save and lock it before I call out to JARVIS, "Activate protocol Take A Break," and everything shuts down leaving just the two of us in the barely lit room as Tony just grumbles under his breath.
"I can't Pep, I have to upgrade SHEILD's firewalls since they were destroyed from their last attack, need to iron out the few kinks in the new SI products, write up my note cards for the conference, fix Natasha's bites-" and I cover his mouth with my hand as I lean down to kiss his head before I squeeze his shoulder.
"Fury will understand the meaning of sleep, the SI products won't need to be ready until at least another month, the note cards can be done on the way there with my help, Natasha will understand and can use her backups and everything else can wait-"
I see him about to protest and I just lean in to give him a kiss on the lips which he just leans into more before I pull back and lean my forehead against his.
"And I miss you. Please come to bed with me so we can rest."
And I give him the face I know he can't resist before he just groans and nods his head before he stands and I make sure to grab the plate on our way out of the lab as it darkens the rest of the way.

I look at the dance floor before I turn my head to look at Keith, "Dance with me."
He shakes his head as he crosses his arms and looks at me, "Sorry princess, but I'm not really prepared to dance and I don't want to accidently step on your toes."
I lift my hand up to him anyways with a small smile growing on my face, "I've seen you fight before, your footwork is great. And I do know it was you who taught Pidge how to dance, and look at her. She's doing really good out there."
We both turn our head to the green paladin to see her dancing with Lance, both sharing a smile. I hear Keith sigh before he takes my hand and leads me out to the dance floor.
"I told her not to tell anyone," I hear him mumble as we start swaying to the music, finding the tempo before we start twirling around the room.
"And she didn't tell anyone. The mice are very sneaky and are great at investigating things that seem to be of interest to me."
He grumbles about the mice being rodents but he does continue dancing. We don't stop when the song changes the first time... Nor the second or the third or the fourth until we danced the rest of the night away, both of us smiling. Not once did he step on me.

Notes:
Hot Springs & Moose Track Cake for VLD
Chapter Text
"Come on, I want to show you something," and with that Shay quickly grabs my wrist and pulls me away with her.
I don't try to stop her, only match her pace as I make sure to keep a handle of the food in my hand. We go deeper into the caves, deeper into the planet. It gets hotter the further down we go and I know it just has to be the core heating everything up. I wonder how far down we are but before I could ask any questions she stops me with her hand before she moves to the side. I almost follow her but my eyes widen at the sight before me.
There was steam everywhere and in the middle of the white mist there was a pool of water that was emitting the steam. The water was a light blue and somewhere a light was reflecting off of it and it showed the different shades of blue. It wasn't too hot that I felt like my face was going to melt off, just the tension that has been building up since the end of Voltron.
"Do you like it?" I hear Shay ask, "It was formed after you saved us. It's a great honor to have such luxuries on our planet and it's all because of you."
I turn toward her and smile at her, "It's gorgeous, Shay, just like you," and I don't know how she did it but she blushed as she shyly smiled. I offer her the food I brought here for with a tilt of my head and a little nausea fluttering in my stomach, "Want to share my famous Moose Track cake?"
She eagerly nods and we quietly sit down near the hot springs as we eat our dessert quickly so it doesn't melt. It was the best thing since Voltron disbanded.

I glare at Jenine as she just stares at me with her cold eyes. They are analyzing me, taking in every detail and it's unsettling. She hums to herself before she writes something on her clipboard.
"I guess I don't," I respond after a minute of silence from her question.
She hums before she starts walking around me like a shark. I'm strapped in this chair and she's enjoying it. A Dauntless like me doesn't like to be confined to someone like her. She touches my shoulder from behind and gently squeezes shoulder like we're old friends. I shrug her off and she just laughs.
"You'll be fun to break."
Chapter 43: Secretly Holding Hands
Summary:
kallura-challenges (Tumblr): Sneaking Holding hands in a sign of comfort.
Notes:
Sneaking Holding Hands for VLD
Chapter Text
These people just don’t understand the need for these relationships between Altea and Kyix. They just don’t. They can have Voltron, the legendary defender, be at their beck and call in their time in need and all we ask is for help in military defenses and food. Altea is still a new planet where the people of Altea had to go in hiding or were held captive. Daibazaal is still in the stage of rebuilding but they people are still powerful and Kyix can have them on their side. Why can’t these diplomats see this.
“Please, if you look at what you will be gaining-”
The man just shakes his head firmly once before he goes back to his monologue on why he doesn’t want to be associated with the Galran (and the way he spat their name and glared at Keith made my blood boil) and how he doesn’t want to waste materials on Altea. It’s giving me a headache and I don’t know what to do about it. I never thought leading a whole new planet into the universe will be so tiring but here I am, ready to take a nap.
I almost jump at the feeling of something touching my hand but years of practice of keep my facial reactions under control help me show nothing to the other aliens. I realize a second later that it’s Keith’s hand skimming my knuckles that are clenched around my dress. From the corner of my eye I see him staring at the speaking diplomat and noddding his head in agreement to whatever he is rambling about.
I release my dress and turn my hand over so our palms are touching each other. He grasps my hand and I close my fingers around his and all of a sudden I feel like I could breathe clearly again, some of the tension leaving my shoulders. I clench it for a second and he copies the movement before he speaks to the alien. We make sure to keep our hands hidden from prying eyes but he doesn’t let go and I don’t let go of his for the rest of the meeting.

And all he does is twirl his moustache with smirk, "Of course it is, I can show you the Altean dictionary if you want."
Lance crossed his arms as he stares at Pidge, "You better win. This bet might just cost me."
"It might cost me too so shut it and let me think," and she shifts her glasses so they gleam in the light.
It's quiet then. Everyone is watching with bated breath. The bet is simple, winner gets to choose who gets to cook for the rest of the week and the loser can't complain about. Coran VS. Pidge in the Scrabble battle is getting heated though and no one can truly predict the outcome...

"Kiss your innocence goodbye. This is war."
"Look, I'm sorry, okay? This isn't fair, I don't even have innocence to kiss goodbye, so really, you should just let me live until I find it again," I nod along as I slowly take a step back.
"No," and he cracks his knuckles and rolls his shoulders, "You stole it and broke it-"
"-It was an honest mistake!"
"And now-"
"It could have happened to anyone."
"I'm going to steal your soul and you are going to watch me break it."
"No! Come on, I didn't know I was that powerful, okay? It's not my fault it was so fragile. If anything, it was your fault for leaving it out," I cross my arms and shake my head in triumph before I realized what I insinuated and one look at the angry man was enough for me to stumble over my words, "Well-"
"What?"
"I didn't mean it was your fault exactly, it was just an additional factor-”
"What!?"
"It's definitely all on me, though I vote we blame-"
"WHAT!?" And the man jumps over the coach and lunges for me with pure rage shaking his fame.
I don't yelp nor scream out when I barely move three steps away before I'm tackled to the ground. I didn't. If I'm going to get my soul snatched, I'm taking it like a man. I fall in slow motion and I just think if it was worth breaking the glass for only a couple of chocolate chip cookies...

"Stay put."
"No, I'm going with you," I watch her take a step toward me and I want to let her come with me, I know it will make me feel so much better but I can't allow it.
"No, you will be staying here," I stretch out my arm to make her stop.
She does stop for a second before she's right beside me and about to go further but I put my hand on her should and turn her toward me. She glares at me and I gulp in fear of what she might do.
"I'm not staying here; I am coming with you."
"Princess-"
"Is that what this is about? You don't think-"
I quickly shake my head to stop her train of thought, "Of course not Allura. I have seen you kicked butt before and know what you are capable of, but this mission you cannot come along. You will stay here and wait until I return."
"I'm not leaving you to go on a suicidal mission by yourself."
"And you think I would want you by my side on this suicidal mission?"
"It will even the odds, make everything fair and give us a better chance of surviving," but I'm already shaking my head.
"Allura, please listen to me. I-"
"Why won't you let me come with you Keith?"
"I-"
"You know I'm helpful on any battlefield, why are you reluctant on letting me come along and help you?"
"You-"
"I want an answer Keith-"
"BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO WATCH YOU DIE AGAIN!" I finally shout, my voice echoing around the region we are in.
She finally stops talking and pales slightly before tilting her head in confusion. It's a normal reaction but I wish she could just read my mind at this moment so she could see everything I want to tell her without me actually telling her. I mean how can I say that I have been living this day at least 238 times? How can I say that each time I've been stuck with her on this mission that could save the universe? How can I say that every time we go any further than where we are now one of us dies? And each time she dies I watch it all in slow motion? How can I tell her that?
"What's going on Keith? You’re worrying me."
How can I tell her that I have fallen in love with her during our "road trips" in hopes that one of these times we can both survive and the day won't restart.
"Just stay put-"
"Why-"
"Please Allura, I'm begging you, stay put. When I survive, I'll explain everything to you, I promise."
She stares at me but she does nod her head and walks back to her original position. I stare at her and she stares at me, her hands over her chest and I have to keep myself from running back to her and running away from this place, we already tried that and it didn't work; She just died in my arms.
"I love you... and I'm sorry," and I turn away from her and enter the region where we just can’t survive to stop this apocalypse. I pray that I do come back and get the chance to explain everything to her and finally say something that she won't forget about. Here goes nothing.

Chapter Text
I help lay the blanket on the grassy hill before Keith and I finally sit. I lean onto his side and he places his arm over my shoulder albeit hesitantly. I don’t point it out, only snuggle closer to his warmth as a cool breeze passes by. Keith seems to notice my goosebumps because he grabs a thermos and passes it to me, the warmth from the metal seeping to my bones and I can’t help the sigh of relief from the small bit of warmth it lends.
“So, this is tradition?”
Keith hums as he squeezes me lightly, “Me and my dad used to come out here and watch the meteor showers. Everything is so much brighter out here and we didn’t need to have any other light source but the stars in the sky.”
I take a sip of the coffee from the thermos and feel myself huddle closer to Keith’s warmth. The hand that isn’t wrapped around my shoulder grabs my hand that wasn’t holding the thermos and brings it lightly to his lips, barely kissing but the warmth from his breath left goosebumps running up my arm. We sit there for maybe half an hour when it finally began. It was beautiful and I couldn’t help but look over to Keith to see him already staring at me with small smile that held so much love I didn’t know what to do with it. I can see the stars reflecting in his eyes and I couldn’t hold it back any longer when I surged upward to kiss him fully on the lips.
It was warm and I'm sure he tasted the coffee from my lips but it was worth it and I loved the moment. His harms wrapped around me as he lied down on the grass and just held me as we continued to watch the stars, slowly trading kisses. Maybe this could become our tradition.

"When are you coming back to me...?"
He kisses her head and when he moves his head away from her, he lightly wipes away a tear that fallen. He keeps his thumb rubbing under her eye as he sadly smiles at her with glassy eyes.
"As soon as this mission is over," he promises.
She leans into the hand on her face before turning her head to lightly kiss the palm before turning to look back at him, "You promise you will come back? Don't lie to me."
This time when he leans down, he kisses her on the lips and it's a slow, lingering kiss. He pulls back though their noses still touch as they both shakily breathe the same shared air. He licks his lips before he speaks, "I promise I will come back."
She stares into his eyes before she falls forward and wraps her arms around his neck as she hides her face into his neck. He holds her just as tight. She whispers softly, "Just come back to me, that's all I ask."
He nods his head before he takes a deep breath and takes a step away from her. She holds onto his hand for as long as she can until he’s too far and their hands drop to their sides. He clears his throat before he spreads his arms and the armor that was only standing quietly starts to surround him, locking away the love of my life. I have to pray that that armor saves my husband’s life and doesn’t become his coffin.
“I will come back pep, I promise,” and his face plate closes and he turns before he walks out the room and like that they were no more until he came back to the shadows, back to her. She drops to her knees as tears finally fall freely, hidden in the shadows just like their love.

Braiding Hair for VLD
Chapter Text
"Lotor, so help me in Bob's name, if you do not stop-"
"But why should I? It's only my arm, my legs can move perfectly fine," He huffs as I once again push him back on the couch.
"Because," I sit next to him with a huff, "You broke your dominant arm in two places plus burned your shoulder and your torso has extensive bruising which might lead to cracked ribs if you are not careful."
"I can be careful," he pouts and I have to sigh at the bliant lie of his statement and the look of innocence on his face.
"Oh, you're full of shit. You are too reckless to be moving around in your condition."
"But if I don't start planning-"
"Nothing is going to change. Most of the universe has forgotten about you so we will have time to plan. That last mission injured you pretty badly. You need to rest and heal."
"Our plan could be ruined and we could die by the most common way, our inability to move through pain."
He tried so hard on that excuse as he gives me his begging eyes, "I doubt that's the number one way of death."
"How would you know?"
I sigh as I pray for strength, "Because the number one way of death in the universe is gas leakage."
"Number two?"
"Explosions because of gas leakage," I smugly respond.
He sighs as he finally leans his head back and crosses his arms over his chest without the usual force behind his movements. He's been like this all day and I don't know what to say to the prince to make him see reason and understand that he must rest unless he will never heal properly. Sometimes he could be so thick headed.
I hear him grumble something under his breath and I withhold the sigh that wants to escape but I allow myself to roll my eyes. I finally turn my body so I'm facing him as I cross my legs on the cushion.
"Turn around," Lotor raises his head and quirks an eyebrow at me, "Your back toward me."
I keep staring at him until he finally turns with a resigned look on his face. I shorten the distance between us and once we are both comfortable, I start combing my fingers through his hair. He startles at first but similar to Kova, he leans back toward my hands. Since we were first introduced when we were kids, this was the most common way to calm him whenever he got too antsy or when he wanted to reinjure himself because he wouldn't sit still.
Once I get most of the tangles out, I separate his hair into three sections. I then start slowly intertwining his hair together to make a braid. His hair is long enough for a decent length braid and if I go slow enough, he would start falling asleep.
Once I finish the braid with only a thumb's length of hair remaining, I grab a hair band from my wrist that I have to carry for his majesty and tie it to keep his hair together. Once I scoot back and touch Lotor's shoulder, he tilts toward the back of the couch and just sleeps.
I smile at the success of the mission. He pushes himself too hard, always looking for approval and doesn't quite understand that he has enough approval from the small family he has here among Zethrid, Ezor, Narti, Kova and myself. I grab a blanket and gently place it on his still form before I quietly walk out of the room and lock it up so nobody disturbs him.

Notes:
Best Day Of My Life for VLD
Chapter Text
My whole mind blanked. I looked up at her face that was full of tears and looked down at her stomach that wasn't even showing yet but still held the unborn child. My unborn child. I quickly stand up from my seat on the couch where I was just reading a book without knowing I was going to be a father and practically leapt to her. My hands framed her face and her tears finally fell as she smiled so big up at me, her face brightening up the whole room and if I wasn't so excited myself her smile would be the reason I'm feeling so giddy.
"We-we're going to be parents?" I whisper despite already knowing the answer but still wanting the confirmation.
She nodded and I couldn't help but let my thumb wipe away her the happy tears, "Yeah Keith, we are going to be parents."
I couldn't help myself as I lifted my wife, and my unborn child, up into my arms and spun around. Allura giggled into my shoulder and I couldn't wait for this child to be born despite not even knowing they were alive ten minutes ago. I put her down and leaned into her and we met in the middle in kiss that showed the love and joy between us. This was the best day of my life so far. Our family was growing and I couldn’t be happier.

Not Mean To Be Together for VLD
Chapter Text
"We were meant to be together."
I rip my hands away from his grasp. How can a monster believe such a lie? I bring back my shoulders as I snarl in his face, my voice low, "We were never meant to be together."
"What are you talking about Allura-" He takes a step forward and tries to grab me again but I take two steps back and make sure he can't reach me.
"Lotor, you stay away from me," I feel tears prickle my eyes but I quickly blink them away.
"But Allura-"
"No! You wanted me because of my status. You made this all up! You don’t look at me the same way used to! Your kindness was fake! Your gestures were fake! Your love for me wasn’t real! I'm walking away and there is nothing you can do about it. We are never ever getting back to each other."
I hear sound come from him but I don't try to understand it. I turn and walk away from him. I quickly reach the door and open it but before I leave this stale apartment, I turn my head to get one last lousy look of the man I thought I loved. I don't feel sorry for him, only disappointed that I wasted so much time with him hoping and believing that he loved me like I loved him but it was all fake and not real; just a fantasy that had to eventually end. He mouths my name but no sound is coming out. I can't tell if the tears he’s shedding is real or fake but I ignore them just like he did to my own over and over. I feel a tear fall but I don't wipe it, just allow it to run down my face and onto the floor.
"Goodbye, Lotor," and I turn away from him and the make-believe life we had together and just walk out of it all. The last thing I see his arm stretched out toward.
It's like a fresh breath of air once I leave the building and I don't think about returning to the monster of a man. I walk away with my head held high and it’s the best feeling I felt in a while.
