Summary
In the aftermath of Sendak invading the Castle in s1 Shiro hides that he has electrical burns from Sendak's torture, has a sleepover with the younger paladins, secretly gets medical treatment at night, and overall has a lot of introspection about his role as leader of teenage paladins in s1. Shiro loves them very much but god they are just teenagers.
Lots of shiro introspection, platonic bed sharing, Coran and Shiro's strong bond as the Adults, and some of the fallout of the invasion of the castle.Series

Summary
Lance, surely, will die if the castle got taken away. Staying alive this long was a feat in itself. When she first saw him there amidst the debris, she thought he must be dead. It left her heart with a strange heaviness as she looked down at him. Lance was full of life, full of heart, and while he could stand to take things more seriously, he was the most heroic today.
Well, him and Pidge will share that title. Lance saved the life of Coran, and from what it sounded like, he didn’t even think about it. And Coran hadn’t bonded with any of the paladins, not really. And Pidge would go save the universe on her lonesome because they couldn’t get the coms to work.
---
The castle gets attacked, and the paladins reflect on what Lance means for the team.

Summary
After nearly dying from the explosion that destroyed the crystal and shut down the ship, Lance has been thinking- what if he had died then? He wouldn’t have been able to say goodbye, or give any last messages to his friends, any explanation or ‘I love you’s for his family.
So he decides to write a goodbye letter, just in case the worst-case scenario happens.
(This was going to be a series of letters he writes after any near-death experiences or right before big battles but I decided to leave it like this because the letters would get really repetitive really fast.
In the future I might add a letter for each season or something. The more time between the letters the more different they will be. I dunno. It won’t be anytime soon though if I do.)

Summary
Missing scene from "Fall of the Castle of Lions/Tears of the Balmera" in which Lance gets whumped and Shiro angsts and worries.
"Let him go," Shiro growled, fingers twitching behind him. The cold muzzle pressed harder against his head as purple sparks danced along his hand. "Now."
"I wonder how long someone like him would last in the games," Sendak mused, sick smile lighting up his face. "He'd be a delight to see slaughtered. Perhaps you, Champion, would have the honor of ending his pathetic life." -

Summary
Pidge runs toward them just as Allura is lifting her head with a small groan. She’s alive, thank God. Someone else shouts something about the Balmera being saved, that the princess gave enough quintessence to heal the giant creature. Shay helps Allura sit up on the ground, Coran placing a worried hand on her shoulder. She’s telling him she is fine, just as Pidge skids to a halt in front of them.
Pidge drops to her knees and throws her arms around her. “Don’t ever do something that risky again.” She tells her, her voice choked and thick with emotion.
Allura pauses for a moment, then her hands come up to hug Pidge back. “It had to be done.”
Pidge shakes her head, tears stinging at the corners of her eyes. “Don’t… don’t you dare sacrifice yourself like that. We need you, the universe needs you.” She takes a shuddering breath. “I… I need you.”
Allura goes still for a moment. Her hands leave Pidge’s back, and Pidge panics; had she gone too far?
(Written for Pidge Ship Week 2017, day 3: sacrifice)

Summary
After the events of "Tears of the Balmera," Pidge discovers that not all emotions can be successfully squashed away. Luckily, Shiro knows a thing or two about the emotional fallout of making decisions when all of your options are bad, and living with those decisions once you've made them.
Or: The one where Pidge throws up instead of dealing with her emotions, and Shiro shows off his scars to make a point even though he can't stand having his shirt off, and they both come out ok in the wash.
