Excuse me, will you resume the loturaweek? Or will they join the new loturaweek that they are organizing? Or will they reactivate the loturaweek twitter account by chance?
hi! so the mods here have moved on but I will try to support the new @loturaweek2023 as much as I can. the twitter is up however itâs not officially going to be used for the event. I will run the idea by the loturaweek 2023 mod and see what she would like to do.

And Thatâs A Wrap On Lotura Week 2020!
We just want to take a moment to thank everyone who made this week what it was. As always, we are absolutely blown away by the dedication of this wonderful fandom. The works were lovely and it was so nice to see that there is still such a passion for this ship.
We are so thankful to those of you whoâve supported this week and helped us getting word out as well. This weekâs success would truly have not been without all of you. We hope that, though VLD has since ended, all of you continue to create and show your love for lotura. Once again, we thank you and hope that the next lotura week will be just as fun! đđ
- Mods Trisha, Saltwife, Kristina, and Nomadicism

Lotura Week Day 7 (Late)
@loturaweek Day 7! (I canât believe I made itâŠ)
Lotura Week Day 7: Juniberry- Home/Freedom
There were times when he would still wake up with a sense of dread, feeling like it was inevitable that he would be sucked back into having to fight just to survive.Â
Over time, these feelings started to melt away, growing less and less frequent. After all, countless days had shown him that his worries were unfounded.Â
He was surrounded by light and warmth and love, day in and day out. He had new friends, he had a wife he loved more than he could express, and two beautiful children who were quite in the same boat as their mother. His home life had become utterly perfect and there was a peace that seemed destined to last. He knew true freedom now, as did everyone else in the universe.Â
Who could possibly complain about that?Â
âLotor!â
Alluraâs cheerful call snaps Lotor from his thoughts. He grins as he moves to join her out on the balcony.Â
He lays his hand atop hers on the railing, the act second nature by now. Together, they watch their children and those of the paladins playing in the yard amongst the freshly bloomed Juniberry blossoms.Â
He leans over, placing a kiss on her cheek.Â
âWhat are our plans today, darling?â
She hums, pretending to think for a moment.Â
âI think more of this.â
He smiles.
âBrilliant as always.â

@loturaweek Day 5!
Lotura Week Day 5: Daffodil - Eternal Life/ New Beginnings
She knew he would be waiting for her.Â
Of course he would.
But she still wasnât prepared to see him again. He looked exactly as she remembered: strikingly handsome and equally serious despite the light smile on his lips.Â
âAllura, will you speak to me?â
She opened her mouth to do so, but was at a loss for words. What could she say after what happened?
âAllura, you neednât blame yourself. I donât. I canât say I would have made a different decision, were the situation reversed.â
Thi does seem to allow her to relax, but only a little. She shakes her head, finding her voice.
âWhy didnât you tell me? Why did I have to find out from someone else?â
âI abandoned the project long ago. It was a flawed decision that I wanted to forget. More so, though, I feared your reaction. I believe strained would be an understatement for the early part of the alliance. And when it shifted, it happened so smoothly and quickly⊠I thought perhaps the window of opportunity had come and gone. I couldnât risk destroying what was being built. So I thought it best to keep it to myself. Take it to my grave, as the saying goes. Rather appropriate, it seemsâŠâ
âIt would have been better if YOU were the one that told me.â
âPerhaps⊠Weâll never know for sure, but I think youâre most likely right.â
A silence falls between them, threatening to stretch forever. Lotor speaks once more.
âAllura, I am truly sorry. For what I did, but keeping it hidden from you. I never intended the loss of life my experiments caused, but I had thought it worth the sacrifice. I wanted to help⊠Clearly I didnât know howâŠâ
Allra steps forward, reaching out to gently take his hand in hers.Â
âIâm sorry too. I reacted so rashly. You tried to explain, but I wouldnât hear it. Thatâs a poor approach from someone wanting to foster peace. After the fight⊠After I settled down, the true weight of it all hit me. And I wept. I couldnât stop thinking about everything I had done wrong, and about everything I had cost us with my actions. We had so many pieces in place for victory, and I ruined it by letting my emotions cloud my thoughtsâŠâ
Lotor shifts his hand, entwining their fingers.Â
âI forgive you.â
She holds his gaze for a moment before releasing his hand and wrapping her arms around his waist. He relaxes, his arms settling around her shoulders.Â
Her voice is muffled against his chest, but it breaks any remaining tension between the pair.Â
âI forgive you too, Lotor.â
After what feels like a lifetime, they pull apart. Lotor extends a hand to Allura. She gives one final glance back to the empty white space where the paladins had once been before accepting it and following him into their next adventure.

Lotura Week Day 6 (Late)
@loturaweek Day 6! NSFW beneath the cut (I hope Iâve done it right)
Lotura Week Day 6: Tuberose - Forbidden/Pleasure
She shouldnât be doing this. After all, he was in no proper state to refuse her. It certainly isnât fair to him. It was one thing for her to try to make her feelings known to him. But to do so right at the onset of a Heat seems almost cruel.Â
Yet, despite thinking this, her feet continue to carry her forward towards his bedchamber. She knew exactly what she would find. Lotor had made a few odd but specific requests, insisting it would be for the best. None of the paladins argued. After all, if Lotor said it would be best for him to be restrained, who were they to disagree?
She pauses outside his door, adjusting her robe and taking a breath.Â
She enters the code to unlock his door. It slides to the side once the code is accepted.Â
The light in the room is low as she steps in, the door sealing behind her.Â
Lotor is sitting on his bed, his arms attached to the wall with short chained shackles. Theyâre rather old, but he had deemed them sufficient. Heâs wearing only his flight suit. He removed his armor in an attempt to cope with his increased body temperature.
He looks up as she enters the code to lock the door once more.
âAllura? What are you doing here?â
âI came to see you. I thought you might like the company.â
She moves closer, the scent of her perfume wafting over to him. His pupils blow wide in response before he shuts his eyes and shakes his head.
âAllura, you shouldnât be here⊠Not right now⊠Iâm not myself at the moment⊠I wantâŠâ
She continues forward, untying the sash of her robe.Â
âI know. I want that too, Lotor.â
She slips the garment off her shoulders, letting it fall to the floor. Beneath, sheâs wearing only a long, flowing lace top. It leaves nothing to the imagination.Â
She locks eyes with Lotor, reaching up to unpin her bun and let her curls fall loose.Â
âDo you like it?â
He nods, a low purr rumbling through his chest as he pulls against the restraints.Â
She smiles.Â
âOh! I had almost forgottenâŠâ

Lotura Week Day 4 (Late)
@loturaweek Day 4!
Lotura Week Day 4: Dianthus - Healing/Rebirth
Lotorâs eyes open slowly, his head swimming as he starts to come to.Â
Itâs bright and takes his eyes a moment to adjust. Nothing around him looks familiar. Heâs in a bed and the walls are painted in shades of off-white and orange.Â
He turns his head and sees a window that looks out onto an unfamiliar landscape.Â
He turns again when he hears movement and voices outside the door. He canât make out whatâs being said.Â
The door opens and Allura enters, wearing a strange orange uniform.Â
Her eyes widen when she sees that heâs awake and she rushes over to his bedside.Â
âLotor! Youâre awake! How do you feel? What do you remember?â
He shakes his head as he looks at her.Â
âWhere are we?â
âWeâre on Earth, Lotor. Youâve been unconscious for some timeâŠâ
As she says this, he remembers that moment on the bridge of the ship. When she threw him across the room. He doesnât remember anything after that, though.Â
âIâve been out that long? That shouldnât have been enoughâŠâ
She shakes her head, looking guilty.Â
âNo, it wasnât⊠It was the closest thing, so we put you into a healing pod as we tried to sort things out. While you were in there, though, the machine picked up some very strange anomalies⊠Lotor, how do you feel? Mentally? Emotionally? Physically?â
He shakes his head once more.Â
âIâm not sure⊠Light-headed⊠But also clear, in a way? In general, I feel lighterâŠâ
She nods.Â
âLotor⊠We discovered Creatures from the Rift living inside of you. Dozens of them, attached to you like parasites. It took quite a while, but we were able to extract them and get them contained. They seem to have taken quite a toll on you, mentally and emotionally more so than physically. They were mostly gathered around your heart and your headâŠâ
âWhat are you saying?â
âIâm saying⊠Iâm saying I donât believe some of the decisions youâve made in the past were entirely your own. Iâm saying⊠That Iâm sorry.â
He shakes his head, reaching out to cover her hand on the bed.
âYou neednât apologize. Whether it was my choice or not, I should have told you. The project has been abandoned for a very long time, but you still had a right to know. Iâm sorry, Allura.â
She raises her eyes to finally meet his, her own turning watery, she shakes her head, leaning in to wrap her arms around his shoulders as the tears start to spill over. His hands settle gently against her back.Â
All the while, the paladins remain in the hall, giving the pair the time and space they need to start to heal.

Lotura Week Day 3 (Late)
@loturaweek Submission for Day 3!
Lotura Week Day 3: Gypsophila - Enduring/Family
Lotor smiles, emerging into the sun. He carries a tray laden with lemonade and fresh cookies.Â
Allura smiles at him from the garden, tending to the plants with care.Â
âItâs hot today. Come take a break in the shade with me?â
She nods, standing and brushing herself off. She settles beside him on the deck, accepting the offered lemonade.Â
âThank you. So? What do you think so far?â
âI think the garden is going to be absolutely perfect.â
âAnd of Earth?â
âDifferent than I had anticipated, but I do think itâs starting to grow on me. â
She laughs lightly. Lotor had been quite perplexed when they first arrived here with the paladins. But heâs also been quite active in trying to help rebuild what was destroyed during the war.Â
âIâm glad. Not too dull for you?â
âAfter everything weâve been through, you wonât hear me complain about the quiet.â
She nods, settling her head against his shoulder as they listen to the dull drone of the insects and the faint trills of birdsong in the air.Â
She grins when she feels his hand gently cover her steadily growing belly.

Lotura Week Day 2 (Late)
@loturaweekHereâs my late submission for day 2!
Lotura Week Day 2: Petunia - Anger/Fantasy
King Alfor looks down at the Dark Elf kneeling on the floor before his throne.Â
Lotorâs eyes are cast to the ground as he speaks.Â
âYour majesty, I understand my mistake and I wish to make amends. Please accept my apology. I will do whatever you may ask to demonstrate my sincerity.â
Alfor nods, standing.Â
âWell, I will accept your apology. But my acceptance is not what will spare you. You will find her in her study.â
Lotor nods, swallowing a bit nervously as he gets to his feet.Â
âRightâŠâ
He makes his way to the chamber, taking a steadying breath before giving a light knock.Â
Alluraâs voice drifts through the door, but it holds much more bite than usual.Â
âEnter.â
He slowly opens the door, carefully peering in.Â
âAllura, my love-â
He ducks back behind the door as she throws a vase at him. He continues speaking from behind the large shield.Â
âDarling, Iâm sorry for what I said. How it came out is not how I intendedâŠâ
âWell I should certainly HOPE not! To compare me to that deranged, vicious, cold hearted hag!â
Lotor holds back the urge to argue, knowing it will do nothing to help him.
âYes, well⊠When I said you reminded me of my mother, I meant from BEFORE she changed⊠Back when she was gentle, intelligent, strong and radiated a beauty that would put even the sun, moon and stars to shame.â
There is silence in the room, so Lotor decides to try re-entering.Â
Allura is standing there, arms still crossed though her expression has softened. He smiles lightly, meeting her gaze.Â
âThough, I do seem to have been mistaken. For now Iâm sure you would surpass her in every aspect.â
She tries to hold the stern look, but it slowly melts away into a smile. She releases her arms, holding them out to her husband. He moves towards her, pausing to kiss at both hands before she pulls him into her arms.

Lotura Week Day One (Late)
@loturaweek Here is my late submission for day one. More on the way!
Lotura Week Day One: Camellia - Adoration/Longing
Allura was always so gentle in her speech and actions. It was one of the traits Lotor adored most about her.Â
Thatâs why it pains him so much to see her like this. To see her hurting so badly, to be grieving so hard. And all because of him. That fact stings most.Â
He was a fool to try to keep those secrets from her. He had wanted to wait for a more opportune time. Only now does he realize that time was never destined to come. It should have been made known to her from the beginning. At least it wouldnât have hurt her as much if she found out when she still viewed him as the enemy.Â
He watches as the blue paladin approaches her, offering comforting words and embraces.Â
He can feel the rift between himself and her tearing larger, helpless to do anything but wait for the day heâll see her again. Waiting for the day to do what heâs been longing to since Romelle first arrived on the ship: Explain.Â
He turns away from the vision.Â
âUntil that day comes, whatâs the sense in continuing to torture myself?â
He walks back into the bright light, the window into the world of the living fading away behind him.
