Summary
Keith had been alone for years now, his Dad gone, his Mother nonexistent. The only company he had was the occasional pop in by his Pops, and his older siblings Astaroth, and Amaimon. They could never stay though, and Keith would prefer he didn’t end up on the radar of the True Cross Order.
Red had been alone for 10,000 years, wandering in search of home before eventually locking herself away in a cave on a no name planet where she’d later be found by the Galra Empire.
When both their flames are about to go out, with only embers remaining they find each other to keep their flames alight.

Metanoia by call7ps0 for My daughter's name is attached to this

Summary
Facing my own mother while she went ballistic with a kitchen knife in her hand was not my objective as an 11 year old, and living through a bunch of world-changing events leading to something beyond repair wasn't on the bingo card a year later either.
Time and fate were intertwined and cruel, life had no mercy if you didn't sneak into liking of those who sat above. The Council whose hands barely worked during their lives were supposed to be graceful and a sign of purity, knowledge. Their minds tainted power as they were made of quintessence. It made them sick to the stomach to see children be brought into the mortal world, children whose fate was sealed long before those from the above came.
For there are things not even they could control, they rather set on a treason and kill their own than see the world they know change. Change, it didn't listen to fate. Fate may try and point a different direction but in the end it's the change that's going to make a difference.
The winds of change embarked, their lungs screaming of a metanoia.

Summary
Adam stared across the cafeteria table jaw slightly agape as he heard the words repeating through his brain “I’m going on the mission.” His fiancé, his incredibly ill has literally got a pacemaker at the age of 20, fiancé was going off planet on a mission scheduled only a month after a major experimental, Reread that please 'EXPERIMENTAL', surgery.
“Takashi.” He began nervously and then saw the strength of his fiancé’s gaze he couldn’t help but snap “Takashi you can’t be serious!?” he hissed trying to meet his gaze trying to scan for some kind of lie in his words, but he found none, he pulled back slightly staring around the room trying to ground himself trying to stop himself from saying something fucking stupid.
“I’m serious Adam. I’m going.”
Fuck it. When the love of your life does something dumb you match that energy.

Or to sum it up. A Voltron rewrite following the concept that Keith never lived on earth and Adam didn't react to Shiro's disappearance by saying "Okay time to become the most background of background characters and die before I ever see or hear from him again!"Series

Summary
"In order to serve my people, I have to return. To live."
***
It's been over twenty years since Princess Allura's great sacrifice. On the new Altea, she is remembered as a hero--a shining light to look up to. And while most people on Altea live in peace, with noble aspirations, there is a great evil that grips their government--something that has begun to ruthlessly opress magical Alteans.
Yaeko, a young Altean, lives a simple life. Unfortunately, however, it is an aimless one, and she yearns for something more. But when she confronts an old enemy, she realizes the weight of all worlds is on her shoulders--and the only people she can turn to are the ones she least trusts.Series

Summary
"Minion," Keith says, "Do some research for the Altea maps, I want those gems." He turns, "And while you're at it, clean my desk, I can't conquer the world with a dirty desk now, can I?" He walks away with a subtle laugh, a laugh that has Lance's knees weakening.
"Yes, sir." Lance weakly says knowing Keith probably didn't hear him since he was already out of the room.
Or; The infamous Keith is planning to take over the world and his assistant, Lance, is obsessed with him.

Summary
Keith has never been so nervous--not while fighting the Galra, and certainly not while flying a massive metal lion--than he is to meet Lance's family. It's stupid, he thinks, being afraid of a room full of people his boyfriend adores, but he's better suited for fighting, which is why he's glad he's only staying two weeks.
Lance is wrong three times: he thought returning home would be easy, he thought Keith had the same plans as him, and he thought he was done with the war.
Or: when Allura dies, they don't get to say goodbye. Grief, Altean marks, and all that follows.
NOTE: This fic was originally posted under a different username. This is still the same author!

Summary
After being seperated and captured during a Galran attack on a rebel base, team voltron and the crew of the Atlas had been on their last legs trying to bring him back. But the war doesn't stop for one person, even a paladin, and the attrocities of Honerva's new empire certainly doesn't. So when, sleep deprived and on their last legs, Voltron is called upon to stop a series of attacks from a new Robeast in the shape of a lion, it's hard not to take it personally.
Harder still, once Allura finds out who's inside.
They've failed Lance more than once, but they will not fail him again.

Summary
“I’m scared,” Shiro breathed, against Keith’s lips. “That you would do anything for me.”
Shiro slid her flesh hand onto Keith’s shoulder, gently pushing her away.
Keith felt the balls of her feet touch the ground again, feeling like there were suddenly lightyears of space between them. Her eyes burned with tears.
“Is that so bad?” Keith asked.
or, Keith learns, slowly and painstakingly, how to love and let herself be loved in return in this awful world of ours.

Summary
After restoring all realities, Allura ascended into a higher realm of Connected Consciousness. A mysterious quartz wall separates her from an unknown entity emanating a purple light, and she must follow a dark path to discover its secret. An unexpected visit from another dimension will come to her aid.
*A Lotura, Plance & Sheith post-Season 8 Fix-it, where I take the pieces we were left with and slowly rebuild the VLD story, with the help of an old show, called Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs (also owned by the IP holder of Voltron DotU).
If you’re scared of crossfics (I am too), the story takes place mostly in the VLD reality, the Star Sheriffs are supporting characters meant to assist the VLD story and the SRatSS backstories are properly introduced in the first few chapters.
* You might find some illustrations in here, when inspo hits me. -

Summary
Keith didn’t know how long he stayed there, the only living thing among a hoard of corpses, but he had no drive to leave. After all, Lance was dead. So why was he still alive?
“Such a tragedy.” A foreign voice sliced through the silence.
“Do you want to die too?” Keith asked, his voice no more than a hoarse whisper.
“Death is inevitable,” the stranger responded, “made all the more tragic when one’s time comes before it was meant to.”
“I don’t care for cryptic bull shit right now"
“Hm,” the stranger hummed. “I’ve seen soul mates grieve less than you do for your brother. Your bond must be great, indeed. So I will offer you a deal.”
“A deal?”
“If you help me and become my apprentice, I will return your brother’s life to you.”

They share a class. Lance hates it.
But when the two are forced to meet outside of class in the worst of ways, they make a choice that sends them unraveling a web of lies and deceit, and no one is safe. Can they survive this together, or will they destroy each other along the way?
