supernatural vld au is now tentatively named what's hidden next to you (will soon be seen)! I’ve been working on trying to finalize the characters in this AU, so right now we have:
Takashi “Shiro” Shirogane: history teacher at Garrison High, popular with both students and staff alike. went missing at the same time as Samuel Holt, the science teacher and his son, only to mysteriously turn up five days later missing his right arm. gets involved in the world of the supernatural after one of Lotor’s generals attempts to kill him under the belief that he’s been sent by the rift creatures to further their designs, now under the protection of Allura
Allura Altea: an arctic dragon whose father disappeared under mysterious circumstances related to the rift. can assume human form and manipulate ice. she’s determined to protect Shiro because she believes he’s the only link she has to her missing father, but why the fuck does he live in the desert.
Coran Hieronymus Wimbleton Smythe: a fire dragon in the service of the Altea family, namely Allura’s father. her caretaker ever since her father’s disappearance as a young girl. am I shamelessly ripping off his dragon design from the monsters and mana episode? absolutely.
Lance McClain: allura’s childhood friend, an arctic merman. insisted on going with her after she heard about a lead about her father. he can use water-based magic and works well in tandem with Allura’s magic. This is his first time out among humans so he’s very excited. quickly befriends hunk and just as quickly is ready to fight keith. some things never change.
Hunk Garrett: a mage, specializing in earth magic, who comes from a long line of earth mages. he’s also taught himself kitchen magic, and his a top notch engineer if he does say so himself. local befriender of transfer students and semi-professional keith wrangler.
Keith Kogane: a student of shiro’s that he’s particularly worried about bc he expects his living situation is not the best. foster kid, good friend of Hunk and Romelle, cryptid lover, urban explorer, and local enigma. presumably human. emphasis on the presumably part.
Katie Holt: Sam’s half-vampire daughter, takes more after her vampire mother so she’s homeschooled, as opposed to her brother Matt. she’s searching for information about her missing family and zeroes in on Shiro as being suspicious before she clears him. she does think he’s her closest lead, however.
Adam Warner: physics teacher and Shiro’s ex-boyfriend who panicked when he realized how serious they were getting on account of the fact that he’s a werewolf. now both he and Shiro are trying to hide their supernatural-related secrets from each other. just kiss already, you dumbasses.
Romelle Pollux: transfer student from “overseas”, but it is unclear where and she changes her story every time. self taught witch, provider of charms and potions to the local student population. keith just thinks she’s really into crystals and you know what? he respects that. dresses like she’s straight out of an 80s/90s teen movie.
Lotor: half-dragon, half-vampire. was once Allura’s childhood friend before their differences in opinion on how to deal with their parents’ disappearances split them apart. now they’re full fledged enemies, as Lotor seeks to eliminate Shiro before he can become a threat.
Acxa: Lotor’s loyal right hand woman. half-dragon, half-mermaid. she agrees that the rift creatures need to be stopped, though she doesn’t always agree with Lotor’s methods.
Ezor: half-naga, half-human, all girlfriend. more devoted to zethrid than she is lotor, but she’s still pretty devoted to lotor.
Zethrid: half-werewolf, half-demon. will crush your skull if you look at either ezor or lotor wrong.
Narti: a mysterious woman with strange abilities who serves Lotor. rumored to be the result of experimentation with magic.

Kacxa Week Extended Day 14 - Life on the Atlas
I passed right out after work so I didn’t get a chance to post this last night. It was a little harder to do write but I am happy with it. I wanted to show their life on the Atlas as close to them being in character when not on duty, but they get a pleasant surprise when Garrison brass comes up with a Wargame.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Keep Reading~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It had been a year since the Atlas officially launched to take the fight to Honerva. A solid year since the Galaxy Garrison became part of a more significant force. Yet to typical Human fashion, they set themselves up as the head force. Something that rubbed their many newfound allies the wrong way. There were Olkari, Unilu, Tjaujer, Arusians, Blade of Marmorans, Balmerians, and many others all living on the ship.
As the Atlas droned through the vast nothingness of Space, it was es by an escort fleet of Rebels and a Galra ship with the Marmora emblem on it. They would all run drills to keep themselves ready. Well, the Blades were in charge of such exercises… well more like Krolia. She was an expert in all the BoM Galra to know how humans would react and create counters for their reactions. But today there was no drill; the tension was high on the Atlas in which the crew got a deserved break.
Two of those were Galra on the Atlas; her Son - Keith and his Jhuk’ un’ dak Acxa. After spending some time on a hostile planet in which they became close, they started being with each other more and more. He had gotten into many altercations with crewmates of the Atlas over her being Galra. Most were broken up by fellow crewmembers and Paladins, others resulting in physical fights.
Today started as usual for the lovebirds. They met on the training deck at 0400 when no one was up except the secondary crew. They did their typical warm-ups before running the equivalent of 5 miles in simulated gravity four times greater than Earth’s gravity.
They rest for ten minutes before they started sparring. They start with traditional sparring before selecting replicas of weapons from Earth's history - Keith the bokken - Acxa the saber. Not wanting to be disturbed, they lock the training deck. Acxa takes her Garrison tee off revealing her human sports bra. Keith, in return, takes his standard black tee-shirt off, revealing his chest and abs along with scars he acquired since becoming a Paladin.
They meet in the center circle. The two of them gave the standard proclamations in traditional Galra before she attacked. Both aggressively sparred and flirted with one another while sparring. Keith was the better blade wielder, and he always found it cute she'd get flustered and upset when he managed to lock their weapons and kiss her on the nose or cheek good morning. But she was also starting to figure out how to eventually surprise him.
By 0700, their sparring match was over, and both had to clean up and report for duty. Acxa had to report in to the senior tactical officer under Shiro for planning an attack on Galra installations, and Keith had to report in for the morning briefing. It was with Shiro, some of the other Garrison Bass, Allura, Blade of Marmora, and the heads of the Voltron Alliance.
Today he found out that Blade Intel has discovered that Honerva had recovered Lotor’s Sincline ship and was trying to figure out how to activate, duplicate it, or incorporate it with more of those Komar-Mechs. Something that shocked not just Allura but Acxa. So it was decided that with each of the Sincline ship schematics were retrieved, the Garrison would run drills with reconstructed versions of the ship.
Keith suggested that Acxa should pilot one of them, that she did have the most experience with each ship. Which the Paladins even Shiro agreed, and the MFE pilots, namely Griffin, protested against it. Shiro ordered wargame Scenarios to commence the following day with debriefing immediately after
Acxa was looking over the first ship, which was the 3rd part when Allura and Lotor collaborated. She was impressed that the human engineers with little help recreated the ship she and Keith had their first intimate dance. She walked around it as Olkari engineers who helped filled her in on the added abilities they added.
She looked at the doors as the Paladins walked in. Allura and that loud, obnoxious one… what was his name again walked in first, she took notice that they were smitten with each other. Making them easy targets. She saw Pidge walk in half dead and hair to prove it. She made a note that she would be easy to eliminate during the simulation. The yellow one walked in eating something. She smirked because eating before a G-Inducing fight….. well, things end up messy.
Then the MFE pilots walked in. Like her, they were doing visual checks of their fighters. Acxa was sizing them up; the blonde was too analytical, so she deemed her a threat to take care of right away. The tall, dark one was too much of a sniper, so thinking fast during combat was not his strong-suit he would be taken care of after the blonde. Then came the sassy one and Griffin, the one Keith had warned her on. They were the best pilots of this group, so taking them down will be challenging. But seeing how cocky they also were, Griffin the obvious, she was going to have fun playing with them. Like a cat plays with a prey animal.
Griffin looked over and saw her looking over to them and the Paladins. She gave him a smirk that seemed to get under his skin. He saw her move her head slightly as the door opened. It was Keith and Shiro walking into the hanger bay.
Shiro was talking to him about something as he walked in, clutching a PADD in his right hand and his helmet in his left hand. He handed the PADD back to Shiro in which Shiro walked back to the observation lounge to watch the launching of everything. Keith put his helmet on and started walking towards the location of his lion.
Griffin: I hope you can keep your half-breed girlfriend in line or take her out with your “superior flying.”
For once, when he was having such a good day until it had just been ruined none the less. But too many eyes were on him to physically reprimand him.
Keith: And why would I do that?
Griffin: So she doesn’t learn our strengths and weaknesses.
Keith: Oh, don’t worry, she already knows.
Keith slapped him on the arm.
Keith: Besides, WE, are the last defense.
Griffin: What?
Keith: The Voltron lions are going to be the last line of defense for the Atlas. Your… fighters will be the first line, and the rebel ships will be the vanguard.  
Griffin: But…
Keith: You guys fought SO well against Sendak’s fleet, so you will have to fight Sincline-A, Blade of Marmora fighters, and cruisers during this wargame.
Griffin: WHAT?!
Keith: What? Can’t be all THAT hard for the Garrison’s best pilot?
He walked away with a smirk on his face as Griffin seethed, glaring at Keith as he continued to walk to his lion. He winked at Acxa, who even-sized him up and winked back at him. She walked up to him, giving him the typical Galra greeting, which he returned well aware Griffin was watching.
Keith: You are going to go easy on me?
Acxa: Not a chance.
Keith: Just the way I like it.
Acxa: You, me?
Keith: Nope.
Acxa: Atta boy.
Shiro over the intercom: Pilots prepare to launch!
Acxa entered her fighter first. The MFE-Pilots in theirs. Keith briefed the Paladins on their role as he entered the Black Lion and was seconds later in the controls. The lions all roared to life. Shiro’s voice came over the comms, “LAUNCH!” Acxa took Sincline-A and rendezvous with the Blade of Marmora wargame fleet. The MFE-Fighters launched and met up with the rebel ships. The lions launch from Atlas last.
As to her plan, Acxa made short work of the MFE-Pilots, which everyone on the bridge could hear their protests and Griffin screaming obscenities in his cockpit. She went a little easy on the Rebels and left most of them to the Marmora ships. They were brothers and sisters in arms, after all. She played with Pidge, who was too tired to keep up and Hunk, who was struggling to keep his lunch down.
Having helped Lotor create the original version of this ship, Allura knew what to expect and quickly got the upper hand on Acxa when tag-teaming with Lance. But Lover-boy, who was in the second-best lion to keep up with her, got distracted when he got shot down by Krolia’s cruiser. Allura was taken down seconds later by Marmoran fighters, her scream “quiznak,” along with some obscenities she learned on Earth had the bridge crew laughing.
Keith was in the process of “destroying” the Marmoran fighters that the simulation called for their withdrawal. Leaving him… and her. Black Lion and Sincline-A. It was as if they were sizing each other up. They were waiting for those disqualified to return to their bases of operation.
Keith: Shall we finish our dance, my dear.
Acxa: We SHALL!
As ships became disqualified, they were ordered to return to base. Inside Atlas for the Lions and Fighters. Besides Atlas for the rebel ships that joined the exercise. For the Marmoran fighters, they had to return to their home cruisers. As long as there remained fighters, the wargame went on.
In the lounge, Romelle greeted the Paladins and the MFE-Pilots, who grumpily flopped down on the couches looking at the monitor. She offered refreshments and snacks for the main event. Even smacking Griffin for bitterly commenting, “Gee what a surprise, the half-breeds are the last ones standing.”
Then without warning, the Black-Lion and Sincline-A engaged each other like they did nearly four and a half years ago. Weaving and bobbing out of each other’s blasts, trying to get the better on the other as they did those years ago back when she was still loyal to Lotor. But now, this was fun with her Grek’ un’ dah.
They would continue at it for nearly an hour. It was apparent to the crew of the Atlas that they were having to much fun. The Paladins grew bored, making the declaration “no wonder he likes her…” The MFE pilots went on to do their other duties.  Romelle stayed watching her brother-friend and his future mate play-fight, eating the snacks and drinking the refreshments no one wanted because they were all made to look like fools.
Even Shiro was sitting in a “Captain’s Chair,” supporting his head up with a fist and wrapping the fingers of his other arm on the chair. Making a mental note “not to pit Acxa and Keith against each other again.”
But on the flip side, both Galra-hybrids had a new thing in which they could use to challenge each other. Something to add to their daily routines to keep themselves sharp.

cliche “what I would do differently in season 8″ post
Warning:  contains plance and some kallura bias
Disclaimer:  my memory on the season (especially some details and the order of certain events) is already rather hazy, and this is more focused on characters and relationships than on plot, with which i was mostly pleased (and it’s probably crap besides)
all right here we go:
first of all when Hunk gives Lance the run-down of the Voltron tv show and mentions that it hints at romance between Keith and Allura, Lance doesn’t react except to maybe look uncomfortable. Hunk is surprised he doesn’t have anything else to say about it and wonders why he’s unusually subdued, and Lance admits Veronica (not Hunk, who’s more aware of the dynamics within the team) is encouraging him to ask Allura out. Hunk wonders what’s stopping him and Lance, still a little cagey about it, says he doesn’t know but decides he’s gonna...so he does and Allura accepts reluctantly with Romelle’s encouragement as portrayed
Pidge still agrees to go shopping with Allura but when it comes to bartering for the dress the Unilu fixates on her glasses as a “Voltron collectible”. she’s reluctant for a good second before admitting she never needed them anyway (implied they were an emotional crutch while her family was missing more than anything else) and handing them over
Coran still puts Lance through his paces but in a less humorous and more uncomfortable fashion that implies he might be a little out of his depth
after the mall Pidge, not wanting to return to her “imprisonment” on the eve of leaving Earth again, goes off to watch the sunset. Lance finds her, and at first she’s a little stiff until he teases her about her “appreciation” for something so mundane (to her). Pidge muses it’s not so mundane if it could be the last time she ever sees it, then wonders what he’s doing with her when he should be getting ready for his date, but before he answers Keith interrupts. Pidge takes the opportunity to leave (she’s still grounded and Romelle and/or Rizavi have probably suffered for covering for her). Lance properly apologizes to Keith for his antagonism
the date isn’t awkward, Lance’s family still likes Allura and she appreciates their warmth, but something is still wrong and, when they’re off alone. Allura looks like she’s on the brink of saying something (after the tree healing incident) when Lance confesses he’d liked her for a long time and had a good time with her that night but that he realizes they’re better as friends. Allura breathes a sigh of relief that she didn’t have to break his heart because she agrees and doesn’t really have time to dabble in a romance anyway and they share an amiable hug
Krolia (because i missed her) is in “Battle Scars” and makes the realization that they’re dealing with Ranveig’s monster and communicates a warning seconds before Keith does
in the Olkarion episode Pidge’s grief bonds her more strongly to the Green Lion, which is how she connects with the planet enough to view its last moments. Lance and Hunk show a bit more concern for her and both comfort her (Allura’s still with her most of the time and insists she’ll be safe with her when they go with Keith to deter the weblum). also the Olkari refugees contact the Coalition after the fact and Pidge (and the Holts) greets them and they all mourn Ryner and the rest that didn’t survive their planet’s destruction. Pidge carries the anger with her for most of the rest of the season (so she now has another personal stake in seeing Honerva defeated)
the team splits as Lance/Pidge and Allura/Hunk. Ezor is actually dead and Acxa made the whole thing up to get Zethrid to surrender, but the Olkari guy does repent after Pidge and Keith “chat” with him about his choices (i.e. survivor’s guilt when he learns Olkarion was destroyed) so he still saves the ATLAS’ crew’s butts later
Honerva doesn’t drain the Guardian but rather takes it hostage to siphon off its quintessence. she still retrieves Lotor’s body and Sincline and they’re still on the verge of slicing the Red Lion (i.e. Lance) - made more meaningful since they’re explicitly friends and not romantically entangled - when Allura’s about to spear Honerva
rather than Lance, Keith gives Allura reassurance (and there’s no “romantic” mush but Kinkade still rebukes Rizavi for spying on a private conversation). also Krolia is interviewed alongside Kolivan, ostensibly to remind him of things he might’ve forgotten. she’s also shown reacting to Coran’s...excessiveness; there’s a brief glimpse of Pidge and Lance playing the new game while Rizavi observes they’re at it again and wonders if they’ll let her play seeing as she helped Pidge procure it, right in time for Hunk to interrupt and ask if they’ll taste something for him
Allura says that, after some rest, she’ll remove the “entities” from the other Altean colonists (she never does because...the one she removed from Tova ends up in her). all of them (especially Coran) are reluctant to leave her for the Clear Day carnival but she insists they go (Keith maybe gives her one last look before agreeing). alongside Lotor she hallucinates versions of Keith (who says he senses no hostile intent from it and that Lotor did have good intentions so maybe she should trust him), Shiro (who reminds her that he once had a direct link to Haggar’s mind, but if she knows about it she can use it to her advantage), and Coran (who tells her she’d be honoring her father’s memory experimenting with something he once did) in turn. Allura, despite her skepticism because she knows this isn’t real, sees no recourse and promises them that she’ll give it up as soon as they no longer need it
meanwhile at the carnival Hunk and Keith still get stuck on the ride (it was a Highlight). callback to “Space Mall”, Lance and Pidge go off together. when she doesn’t get enough tickets to earn the “best” prize, Lance cheers her up by challenging her to a pricey and rigged carnival game that he almost wins...which is when Pidge suffers the family portrait for more tokens. they retry, Lance wins and relinquishes his prize to Pidge, who may or may not blush only to observe he might be a good sharpshooter after all
(Pidge and Hunk both question how Shiro won at arm-wrestling without an elbow)
Coran is the most adamant about Allura not using the entity, though the others are still doubtful. Keith confronts her properly about it after the meeting, but Allura shuts his protests down by saying they need to defeat Honerva even at the cost of one of their lives (possibly alludes to his near-sacrifice at Naxzela)
Lance has a “wtf” moment when his bayard turns into the sword. he and Alfor only talk briefly about his appreciation for Allura before telling him he really should train in using that thing
Alfor to Allura about Keith:  why is the red one in the Black Lion??
(possibly he also comments on his quintessence-sense...because someone should)
Trigel lowkey chides Pidge for neglecting her connections with people outside her family while also commenting on her kinda adoption of the Olkari
when Alfor is incredulous about Allura’s use of the entity (even Zarkon reminds her of the damage it caused) she insists it was the only way (Keith, internally:  i told her so); the Paladins, horrified, stop her from tormenting a younger Zarkon with the memories of what his older/possessed self did, and she has a moment where she’s incredulous about what she’s doing/what she’s become; she promises that she’ll happily destroy the entity once they reach the end of the line
Allura admits to Coran that she saw her father while in Honerva’s mindscape. Coran begs her one last time to release the entity only for her to admit she’ll need someone else’s help
and when she’s recovering (when was that in the season?? can’t remember) everyone visits her, but it’s Lance reassuring Keith that Allura will be all right rather than the other way around...and he admits to remembering the “bonding moment”, Keith is like i knew it and rubs it in Lance’s face while still seeming troubled
Pidge still assists Slav and Sam but Trigel’s (and Slav’s hehe) reprimand sort of sticks with her and before they do battle she tells her teammates how much they all mean to her (maybe prefaces it with “i’m not good with people but you guys taught me how to be better”). there’s a group hug, but Lance lingers and they hug properly while she tells him that he’ll do great and he says that he knows (and he means it)
Battle proceeds. Maybe a little trimmed down so Lance, at some point, can “properly” bond with the Red Lion
Allura shows Honerva her work and tells her they can fix it if only she releases the Guardian. Honerva agrees, but it’s not enough and Allura reluctantly admits a life must be given too (and that the entity must be destroyed), at which point her teammates (Keith’s loudest, again bringing up his near-sacrifice at Naxzela as the wrong answer) protest...and Honerva offers something, that she started this and that she’ll finish it too and that Allura should live the life she never got to. she even uses the last of her power to take back the entity
“one year later”, Allura is shown mourning the person Honerva (and Zarkon) was by erecting a memorial to Alfor and to the Alteans that perished when Zarkon destroyed the planet and when Lotor harvested the colonists’ quintessence. she mentions to a few former colonists that they should never forget the mistakes of the past but learn from them, and she’s shown with Romelle and Coran, who begins briefing her on what Keith’s been up to with the Galra...
Pidge is with Matt, finishing up Chip (eh might as well keep it). he teases her about being late to her “date”, but Pidge insists it’s not a date (because all her other ex-teammates will be there)
the seven of them reminisce
Pidge works with her family but she’s also an ambassador spreading science ideas around the universe. Lance is an instructor at the Garrison (he basically has Iverson’s old job probably), and they’re implied to be happily in a relationship. Keith’s fate is pretty much the same but it’s mentioned he gets inspiration from Allura and her memories of old Altea. ditto Hunk
the show ends with Allura’s coronation as queen rather than Shiro’s wedding (though it can be implied he, attending wearing his black Garrison uniform, met Someone at the celebration afterward), and the Lions flying their separate ways, ostensibly to return when the universe needs Voltron again

voltron :eyes:
VOLTRON I am not surprised in the slightest, and I actually had so many ideas
- right so I had one that I liked so much I went and shook the characters up and they're all OCs now but basically it was:
Lance could always see ghosts, but it's not like anyone ever believed him, except for his best friend. Until one day a girl sat down, looked into his eyes and bluntly told him "I want you to find my brother." And, well, maybe he could see ghosts, but he never tried actually finding one before. Not like it can hurt to try, though. (And hey, there's a ghost who has taken a bit of a suspicious interest in him.)
or: a weird high school AU set 20 minutes into the future where Lance has been told to find Pidge's brother, and it lands them all in the middle of a military conspiracy, a millennia-old love story, and other people's relationship problems. Featuring Allura as a Really Pretty Ghost Girl, Lotor as a Rich Asshole, and Keith as Lance's personal nemesis (who is probably in love with his best friend who's just been declared missing).
*
- another one: so i was going to write this cool story that would've been basically a look into the background of Acxa, Narti, Ezor, and Zethrid, and how they came to follow Lotor but. uhh. for some reason i never wrote it? it was basically just me doing the worldbuilding the show never intended to. and Lotor just going around space nabbing unappreciated half-Galra and earning their loyalty. (and then, of course, fucking it up later.) yeah. i came up with it while listening to Immortals by Fall Out Boy if that says anything
*
- ANOTHER one: "hehe wouldn't it be fun if Lotor ended up in that alternate universe where Altea is evil and met Empress Allura" i said to myself. that's it that's the fic. Includes: underground Galra revolution, copious amounts of Romelle, Keith being named Yorak.
*
- aaaand last one:
A girl, kicked out of school for trying to establish contact with aliens without permission. A prince discovering his true heritage and the responsibilities that come with it. And four ghosts who just really want to get to the other side.
or: the one where Pidge gets four ghost tagalongs on her quest to find her brother, Lotor chases myths, and Allura is a very busy woman who doesn't have time for all this.
this is a.... very loose AU of a musical I like a lot, literally just because "being kicked out of school for illegally trying to establish contact with aliens" was a backstory that SCREAMED Pidge to me. So the story is that the rest of Team Voltron are ghosts who somehow came to reside in Pidge's attic, and have been waiting for someone to come and take them to the afterlife. Which is a physical location in the universe. Called Oriande. And it was the job of Alteans to guide souls to their final resting place, except that most Alteans are quite dead, and the remaining few are just swamped with work. But the prince of the Galra Empire has just discovered he's half Altean. You see where this is going, don't you?
Look, I swear the weird parts are actually in the musical, okay, I even tried to make it less weird
*
there were a few more i don't really remember anymore, like that Zarkon/Hunk AU i completely seriously made up a whole AU backstory for because people on tumblr & discord asked me to (it was... less cracky than you'd think. i think it was an evil altea au, or maybe a no war at all au, but there were alternate universes acknowledged in the story), or that one short story about how Keith fell in love with Shiro that got kinda jossed, so i wrote my soulmate au instead lmao
Anyway thank you for asking!!!!!! 💜💜💜 (And wow these sure have a lot of Lotor. Literally not a single person is surprised.)

Klance Euphoria AU
Okay hear me out. This is a mad idea I got after finishing Euphoria last night
Rue: Keith – absolutely destroyed child because his dad died when he was a little child, this still haunts him until now. He is bipolar, he always was but he sunk into drugs as soon as his dad died and started wearing his fingerless gloves because they reminded him of his dad. Krolia is trying to do her best between her work, Keith's brother and all the problems Keith always had; she is a good mom but everything became complicated since her husband died. Keith started doing drugs at a really young age, first medicines then real drugs. He was once best friend with Ina, but it was all before his major fall. And when he overdosed, he understood that maybe, maybe, he wanted to try it again.
Jules: Lance – a wild one. He is trans and lives in a huge family, well he used to. He lives with his sister Veronica, because his parents always thought that he was crazy, he went to therapy with other girls when he was younger and they tried to “convert” him – which was the worst idea ever. Veronica, who's ten years older, when she saw her brother looking like he lost every ounce of his personality after coming back, proposed to her parents to take him to her place which her parents accepted since he was really a burden, always fighting with them. Lance had only one loving sister, and it was Veronica. Since he lives with her, he's fully himself, he goes to parties, he fucks a lot and maybe too much but who cares and lives his best life.
Nate: Shiro – the poor child. His father destroyed him, the reputation destroyed him, he had anger issues which were never cured. He's the jock type his father always encouraged him to be, the jock type that had some principles, some ideas about life and he knew what he exactly wanted since a young age. He wanted a wife, but not like his own mother on who his father was cheating with boys, no, he wanted a strong wife who would follow him, and do what he wanted her to do. And he found Allura, and he was filled with rage, almost as much as her. There were fights, violences, breakups, trying to make the other jealous, fucking around while not together... But ultimately, they loved each other in a toxic way.
Maddy: Allura – the bomb cheerleader. She wanted a guy who would do anything for her, this was why she played it dumb with Shiro, she wanted to be his sheep and this was how she got whatever she wanted from him. She loved him, maybe a bit too much. She hated when he was violent, but she loved him anyway.
Cassie: Romelle – the blondie one. She was nice, she was kind and she did whatever boys wanted her to do. Because she was pretty, because she was a sweetheart. This is how she lost her heart, so many times. Too many times. But Griffin was the right one, right?
McKay: James – intellectual. He never really wanted to be a football player, but here he was, friends with Shiro, trying his best while going to college. He fell for Romelle, he fell for her pretty face, for her soft smiles and her hugs, even if he knew videos she did, even if he knew she could be easily distracted. He loved her, until a problem showed....
Kat: Acxa – the liberated one. She was friends with Allura, Romelle and Ina, but she was the shy type friend. A girl with a Tumblr addiction we would say, she was a famous fanfiction writer in many fandoms, nobody knew how famous she was, she was just the weird girl for all of them. But, after a party on which she went wild, she started to do everything she once refused to herself, she became a sexually liberated woman. Maybe a bit too much...
Ethan: Lotor – the newbie. When you're new, it's never easy to make friend, even if you're from a rich family. And he fell for Acxa when he saw her. He's smart, he's awkward, he's cute.
Lexi: Ina – the smart girl. She's Romelle's sister, she's smart and used to be Keith's best friend. She missed the old Keith, the one who was smiling and not always high.
Fez & bro: Matt &Pidge – the siblings duo. Matt is a drug dealer, Pidge is his sibling who helps him in his business. Matt is friends with Keith, and regrets selling him drugs, mostly after his overdosis. But he has to earn money, for their father lying in the hospital bed.

Shadows Critique
Continuing the “the definitive nitpick post” critiques from Voltron Legendary Defender Season 8, here we are go - 
Tumblr media
Honerva looks sad in the very first scene, after she just told Lotor she had no maternal instincts whatsoever. So...why is she sad that Lotor didn’t embrace her? Or is she sad because she bonded with Acxa off screen and Acxa just betrayed her? Well, it is so hard to get good help these days. 
Well, now Honerva can focus on what Kuron is doing and see if maybe she can use him to...oh, wait. She totally doesn’t care about him anymore. Never mind. 
Tumblr media
Okay, so no material instincts but Honerva crosses the universe in search of her son. #OppositeDay
Look at the eyes. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pretty sure Kova is Keith when Keith goes full-Galra. Or Kova is Keith from the future or Keith from another reality. #YoureWelcome
Both Haggar and Zarkon say, “Depart my presence” in this episode. Geez. Harsh family. 
“I must find [Lotor].” Haggar, Lotor and his peeps were on your ship before you jumped to another one. They talked about where they were going. Check the recording. It’s not a big mystery.  
Why does Zarkon remember who he is, but Haggar doesn’t remember who she is? Because she was more poisoned than him? But they both died...? And she didn’t seem to lose her memory before she died. She was just overwhelmed. 
Tumblr media
“...emperor WHO pierced the veil.” The empress should have good grammar, guys. 
Why did Honerva go to the Kral Zera anyway? Just to stop someone else from lighting the flame? Let’s forget for a second that you don’t have maternal instincts -  there was no plot reason to go. Honerva didn’t end the empire by killing the Archivist and a few Galra soldiers. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Dayak, you lost a bit of weigh and got a boob lift in the last twenty seconds.That’s impressive. The Galra medical plan was be amazing. Bet it has full dental. 
Oh, so Honerva used to the flame to see Lotor’s memories. How does that work? Why didn’t anyone use Zarkon’s flame before distinguishing it to see his memories? He was the longest-ruling emperor. Seems like an opportunity gone to waste. Also, if Lotor had seen Zarkon’s memories, he would have seen pre-zombie/BP Zarkon. 
Season 8 Episode 2 -
Tumblr media
Season 2 Episode 12 -
Tumblr media
Voltron and the Galra will pay...? But when did you find out Voltron lived, Honerva? You saw Sincline, but you didn’t see Voltron - so you assumed Voltron lived? But maybe the flame-thingie didn’t show you Voltron because it was attached to Lotor. Just saying - you really don’t know what happened to Voltron, Honerva. 
Merla is a sacred Altean, too? I missed her glowy marks. And hey - are all the Alteans from the Colony sacred Alteans? Then Romelle should be one, too. 
Tumblr media
Death Star, is that you? You also are in pieces...but this is before Voltron took you apart. So you’re being built? Why would Zarkon take you on a road trip before you’re done? What if you break down? You’ll call Space AAA? Also - does Central Command always move? Then there isn’t a Central Command System like Coran said in “The Black Paladin.” (I had just assumed in S2 that Zarkon took you on the road after Voltron.)
Sendak: Should I capture [the lions] for you, High Priestess?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sendak: All right. I’ll capture them for you. 
Honerva can wormhole Luca to Earth, but nah. Why do that? Instead, let Luca commute. It’ll only take her a few hours to go from Oriande to Earth. After all, the Lions are captured, the Atlas launches, the Lions are freed, Sendak is defeated - all within a course of two episodes - and then Luca arrives. Wow. She made good time, and she didn’t even have to use two bayards to make incredibly ugly wings to do so.

Ya’ll sleeping on the epic gay disaster romance that is the Shiro/Kogane and McClain siblings!!!
(Look i don’t know or give a fuck if Acxa is or isn’t Keith’s sister or if Adam and Lance aren’t related because the ball just started rolling and I went along with it)
Okay, so in a world where Voltron DIDN’T fuck us over and Adam is alive and missing his boyfriend and little brother who got ejected up into space, he enlists the help of his sister Veronica to take over and collectively kick the entire Galaxy Garison’s ass.
Meanwhile, up in space Keith finds out Acxa is his older half sister from Krolia’s first family who she thought were all dead! Acxa explains that she was the only one that survived and she’s been looking for her ever since. When she saw that Keith had her mother’s blade she began to keep tabs on him, desperately trying to find the connection between them. It’s a big happy family reunion with all the feels and Keith then introducing them to his adoptive brother Shiro who Krolia thanks immensely for watching over Keith and Acxa wants to fight for the title of alpha sibling.
She wins obviously, which naturally makes Keith want to fight her next.
The whole ordeal reminds Lance all too much of his own siblings and makes him miss is family even more.
Keith comforts him, promising that he will get them all back home no matter what.
Of course Shiro tells Acxa about Keith’s big GAY crush on Lance because he finally has a sibling to gossip with and tease their little brother.
Narrator voice: It was then Keith wished he was an only child again.
Anyway, they get back to Earth where Dr. Holt, with the help of Adam and Veronica have successfully whipped the Garison into shape for the up coming Galra attack.
Veronica and Adam are also the first ones to see Lance and tackle him into a crying heaping mess. Then the rest of the family comes in and it starts all over again and we cry even more.
Lance: Wait, so that “special guy” you were gunna introduce us to was Shiro! And you were engaged!
Adam: Well, we kind of sort of still are...I think?
Veronica: Jesus Christ, Adam what the fuck?!
Adam: I don’t know! It was all emotional and now it’s all weird and confusing and it doesn’t help that he’s even hotter now!
Veronica: Speaking of hotties, who’s the girl he’s with?
Lance: That’s Allura, you know-
Veronica: No, no, no, the other one, blueish purple skin and hair.
Lance: Oh, that’s his sister Acxa, well technically Keith sister which makes her is sister by adoption? Idk really...
Veronica & Adam: ????
Keith: Are you gunna go talk to him or just keep staring at him like a freak?
Shiro: I don’t know Keith, how would you go about talking to your kind of sort of ex-fiance after going up into space when he specifically told you not to then coming back after a few years with one less arm, white hair, and a team of teenagers in giant mecha lions?
Keith: Jesus, fine! But when were you at least going to tell me you were dating Lance is brother?
Shiro: I didn’t even know I was dating Lance is brother! I went missing before I could even meet the family!
Acxa: And I’m assuming the girl with them is their sister, right?
Keith: Yeah, Veronica, I think.
Shiro: Why?
Acxa: Is his whole family all genetically enhanced to be good looking? Or is it just a luck thing?
Keith: My theory is both. Knowing Lance and Adam, they have to be extra like that.
Shiro: (sighs) Yeah.
Adam: (smug) I didn’t know the Keith you had a crush on was the same Keith I knew.
Lance: Say one word and I’ll show Shiro all the pictures from your 14th birthday!
Veronica: (giggling as she scrolls through her phone) Not if we show Keith your baby pictures first!
Narrator voice: It was then Lance regretted leaving space.
Nothing gets shown because they keep threatening to expose each other and end up in a stalemate.
Acxa and Veronica start getting to know each other better when they’re assigned to help upgrade and fix damaged ships.
They gossip about engineering, their dorky brothers, and just life in general.
It eventually leads Acxa to open up about Lotor and her ex-crew and for Veronica to talk about how her and Adam were desperately trying to find Lance and the others.
Acxa: You know, after all the bullshit with Lotor and the rest it’s nice to have friends again. Especially someone female. I mean, Allura and Romelle are cool and all but I’m not much into “girly” things too much and Pidge is a bit too young.
Veronica: (smirking) Well I’m glad to be of sufficient entertainment for you.
Acxa: (a soft chuckle with fondness in her eyes) Truly, I don’t think I could ever get bored of you.
Veronica: Veronica.exe has stopped working...
Later Veronica barges into her temporary living quarter she shares with Lance and Adam, flops in between them on the couch, and screams into a throw pillow.
They understand immediately because same!
Meanwhile Acxa’s freaking out with Shiro and Keith because “that was a stupid thing to say and super cheesy and she probably thinks I’m super lame!”
And again, they too can relate because same!
The Shiro/Kogane siblings are all gay and awkward as fuck while the McClain siblings are all dramatic bisexuals
Everyone else thinks it’s both fucking hilarious and painful to watch. Because it was bad enough having to deal with Lance and Keith sexual tension but now THERE’S THREE OF THEM!!!

Votes should be open for the first week of july, I think. I'll edit here when they close.
---
1- Pride
What Shiro felt when Keith came back looking so grown up and strong and confident should have been pride, shouldn’t it? Pride that the young cadet he had taken under his wing earlier had grown to his full potential, not only an amazing pilot, but also a strong leader. You just needed to look at how the team was eagerly listening to his explanations and discussing his plans to see it. And Shiro was proud, of course he was.
What he hadn’t expected was to stumble on his words like an idiot because he found his best friend so hot.
2- Meet again
Keith would have hugged Shiro if the situation wasn’t so dire. But they have to stop Lotor first. No time to get emotional. Even if he has missed Shiro immensely.
It seems to be always like that with Shiro and him. They keep being torn apart, but they always find each other again. He remembers saving Shiro after his disappearance in the Kerberos mission; and their reunion when he had been missing after the fight against Zarkon. And now, after Keith was stuck in the Quantum Abyss.
He knows he will always find Shiro. As many times as it takes.
3- Long hair Shiro
When Keith helped him out of the galra ship, Shiro felt weirdly self-conscious. His hair was too long and greasy; he would have needed a shave; his skin was sticky and his own stench made him uncomfortable. That didn’t seem to bother Keith as much as it should have; he didn’t shy away from holding Shiro close.
“Don’t look at me...” he muttered, his parched tongue making the words indistinct. Keith said something, and the rest of the team cleared the room. Coran left last, after insisting that Shiro was too starved for the pods. Only Keith stayed with him.
4- Distance
3 billion miles. The current distance between the Earth and Kerberos. Keith thought about that number often, while watching the stars in the clear sky of the desert. He wished this was a distance he could cover with his hoverbike. He knew Shiro was out there, possibly in danger. He refused to believe he was dead.
After being kicked out of the Garrison, his last chance to go to space seemed to have vanished. Sometimes he thought of stealing a spacecraft from the Garrison; he knew that even if he managed to pull it off, he wouldn’t go far alone.
5- Sunset / sunrises
Shiro was clutching his side, which was both burning and feeling numb, a strange sensation. He felt his consciousness slip away, and he knew he wouldn’t survive for long on that desert planet; not hurt like he was. He could only hope Keith would outlive him long enough for the rest of the team to rescue him. The young paladin was resourceful and resilient, so Shiro trusted him to survive. He would be a great leader, and Shiro’s only regret was to not being able to witness it.
It seemed like a fitting end, watching the sunset alone with Keith.
6- Monsters & Mana
“Thanks for saving me again”, said Jiro.
“Always”, answered Thunderstorm Darkness. “You have done the same for me.”
“Of course I did.” answered Jiro, softly. They shared a long hug.
“Pleaaase stop flirting with your characters.” complained Pidge.
“Wha… what? They’re not flirting!” protested Keith.
“They’re just friends.” added Shiro nervously. “They help each other.”
“Sure, like you and Keith are just friends, I guess” replied Pidge, the sarcasm in her voice thick enough to cut with a knife.
“Well, yeah.” replied Keith, tone deaf as always for that kind of things.
Hunk grunted. Coran let out a long sigh.
7- Drunk dialing / wrong number
“I missed you, Shiro. I’m glad to be back.” admitted Keith.
“Keith, please don’t use the Atlas’ general hailing frequency for personal communication.”
It was Veronica, not Shiro, on the screen. Despite her formal tone, he could see her grin. Behind her, Acxa was rolling her eyes, Curtis was blushing, and Iverson was looking purposefully away.
“Good to have you back, Keith” answered Shiro warmly, undisturbed by his crew.
Keith didn’t get it either. What he had said wasn’t that bad, after all.
“It’s not what you say, it’s the way you say it”, Hunk had once tried to explain.
8- Battle / fight
Seeing Keith getting beaten up during the first part of the trials had been hard enough. Shiro had ground his teeth and held back for Keith's sake. This was Keith's choice, and Shiro didn't want to stand in his way. It still felt like dying inside watching his friend get hurt.
Seeing Keith unconscious on the ground while Shiro's image was used against him had been too far. Now they were using Keith's trauma about his parents, and that was unacceptable. Even Red was furious. Shiro would fight the entire Blade of Marmora to get Keith out of their claws.
9-Pining / Mutual pining
“I think... I always loved him. From the beginning,“ admitted Keith, thoughtfully. “At the time, I didn't really understand it, but...” He trailed off.
“Maybe you should tell him?” suggested Romelle.
Keith let out a breathless laugh. “No. He doesn't see me like that.”
“Hu. Are you sure?” replied Romelle, dubiously.
---
“I know I shouldn't see him that way”, Shiro tried to explain to Matt. “To him, I'm some kind of big brother, he trusts me. If he knew what I feel for him, it would ruin our friendship.”
“Are you serious?!” growled Matt, slamming his beer on the bar.
10-Denial
“Sooo… how was your date?” Pidge's carefully casual tone was a trap.
Shiro realized he was still holding Keith's hand and swiftly let it go. “P...Pidge! It wasn't a date.”
“Yeeaaah, right. So what were you doing?” It was going to be difficult to get out of this discussion if Hunk paired up with Pidge. It didn't help that Keith was leaving all the defense to Shiro, arms crossed and expression sulky.
“We. Were looking for resources.”
“Did you find any?” Hunk retorted.
“Not really.”
“Maybe you'd find more in daylight.” insinuated Pidge. “But I'm sure the stars were pretty.”
11- Cooking
One night, at the Garrison, Keith noticed a burning smell in the air. He hurried down the corridor. Dark clouds of smoke were crowding under the ceiling, and Keith’s heart jumped in his throat.
He teared a fire extinguisher off the wall and sprinted in direction of the kitchen, where the smoke was coming from.
Inside, the smoke was so dense you could hardly see; his eyes were watering and he started to cough.
“I’m so sorry!” exclaimed Shiro as he opened a window. “I was trying to make mac-and-cheese”.  In the sink, a blackened plate was all that remained.
12- Confessions
Seeing Keith in his hospital bed was jarring. He was uncharacteristically quiet in his sleep. On his pale cheek, the scar stood out blatantly.
Keith suddenly became agitated. Shiro was starting to worry, but Keith opened his eyes, saw him, and calmed instantly.
“Shiro...”
“Keith… I’m sorry.”
Keith blinked, confused. “For what?”
Shiro hesitated. He brushed Keith’s scar. “For hurting you.”
“It wasn’t your fault.” Keith frowned. “You remember what I told you?”
“That I was your brother.”
Keith scoffed. “That I love you. Not really...as a brother.”
“I love you too.” replied Shiro, before realizing what he was saying.
13- Astral Plane
Time didn’t really exist, on the astral plane. Shiro didn’t know how long he had been there. Both dead, and existing here, in this strange place. Sometimes, he felt himself dissolve in the lion’s consciousness, aside from when he was in contact with the team. When the team formed Voltron, or when they had called out to him, he felt more solid. He felt the most like he was existing when Keith was piloting Black, of course. He tried so many times to reach out to Keith.
When Keith finally joined him on the astral plane, Shiro felt alive again.
14- Soulmates
Black was the only one to know Shiro and Keith had held hands in the astral plane. The only one, because they had not realized it. And they had no idea of the implications, either. Of two souls touching, directly. Not in a fight, but out of love. The way Keith had so easily reached the astral plane through his connection with Shiro. The way Shiro had been able to materialize enough to put his hand on his shoulder. How they had held hands afterward. Black already knew they were soulmates. But how could they still be unaware of it?
15- Festivities
When the war ended, there were festivities for weeks all through the universe. Keith could understand this. But in big cities, it implied lots of excited people in the streets. Too bad that, for diplomatic reasons, they often ended up in big cities. And the team always wanted to enjoy the festivities once the formalities were over.
And now, he had lost Shiro. They were walking together, and suddenly, he wasn’t there anymore.
Shiro came back, holding two pastries. Keith let out a relieved sigh. “I hate crowds.” he grumbled.
“Should we go home?”
“No. It’s fine if you’re here.”
16- Overworked
“I thought that meeting would never end,” confessed Shiro.
Keith sighed. “Yeah. And I still have paperwork due tomorrow...”
“I know, me too...” Shiro checked Matt’s last message on his phone. “You know what? The team is chilling in the rec. room, we could join them and work there.”
“We won’t get any work done.”
“We could give it a try!”
“Fine”
“Told you we wouldn’t work!”
“Well, it’s late, but let’s try to get it done now!”
“Are… Are those the Captain of the Atlas and the Leader of Voltron cuddling on the couch?”
“Shhh. Don’t wake them up.”
17- Waking up together
When waking up, Shiro was startled to find arms around him; he was lost for a moment, before recognizing Keith. He remembered his nightmares, and how Keith had heard his panic from his  room -the Castle’s walls were not exactly soundproof. Keith had come and helped Shiro calm down. They must have fallen asleep together.
Keith was still sleeping, snoring softly. Shiro brushed his dark hair away from his forehead. Keith moved slightly, but didn’t wake up. Shiro smiled. He still marveled that, after all that happened, he had Keith at his side again, even so far away from home.
18- Folklore, myths & legends
Do you know the legend of Voltron?
Of course you do. The Robot that freed the Universe.
But, do you know about it’s pilots? No? Let me tell you of two of them, then. Let me tell the tale of the Black Paladins, who both piloted the Black Lion, head of Voltron. Let me tell you about their love, that was stronger than death itself. Let me tell you about how fate tried over and over to separate them, and how they always found each other again. Let me tell you how their love saved us. Gather around, and listen.
19- Fist dates / blind dates
It was the early hours of the morning, and most of the wedding guests had gone. Only their closest friends remained – the paladins, Matt, Romelle… They were watching the sunrise together, quietly sipping the fresh juices a waiter had brought them. Keith was a little hungover, but the headache didn’t matter: he was greeting the morning with his husband.
“What I always wondered was… when did you two start dating?” asked Lance.
“After the war” said Keith.
“No, we already dated on Clear Day, remember?” replied Shiro.
“That was a date?”
“I’m pretty sure you were dating before” stated Allura.
20- Shenanigans with Kosmo
Kosmo was was really good at guessing Keith’s moods. And he had his own ways of helping him out when his spirits were not so high. Frequently, it involved Shiro.
“Hi Keith!” said Shiro when a grumpy, half asleep Keith was teleported in the training room.
“Hi Keith!” said Shiro when an exhausted, sweaty Keith in training gear was teleported in the middle of a Garrison meeting.
“Hi Keith” said Shiro when a brooding Keith was teleported beside him on the couch.
“Goodnight, Keith”, whispered Shiro when a fast asleep Keith still in his uniform was teleported into their bed.
21- fix-it
“Be with the ones you love”, Shiro had advised. And Keith had panicked. He had hugged his mom, and had hidden in the desert. Well, if you can “hide” on top of a giant mechanical lion.
Shiro was busy with Garrison business, and Keith didn’t want to bother him. They still hadn’t  talked about what had happened at the clone facility, and he wasn’t sure if Shiro had understood what Keith really meant- or even if he remembered.
Keith’s heart jumped when he heard a hoverbike approaching.
“You’re here”, he whispered when Shiro joined him.
“Of course” answered Shiro softly.
22-seasonal
“What's that?”
“Takoyaki. Just try it.”
Shiro scoffed when Keith's eyes widened in surprise while tasting the food; he hastily went for more. It didn't help that he looked ridiculously cute in a yukata; Shiro was glad he had convinced him to wear one. “I knew you'd like this.”
They walked in silence for a moment.
“Did you… enjoy these summer festivals when you lived here?” wondered Keith.
“Yes, I loved them! My Granddad always took me. Good memories.” Keith nodded. Shiro continued. “Thank you for coming. It's good to make new memories with you.”
“Thank you for inviting me.”
23- canon alternate reality
When Sven opened his eyes, he recognized the space hospital. Slav was curled up, asleep on a nearby chair. In the other chair was…
“Sven!” exclaimed Akira. His desperate tone as well as the worried curve of his brow made guilt  tighten Sven’s throat. “I came as soon as I heard!”
“I’m sorry. I’m fine!” Sven exclaimed.
“No, you’re not! You’ve been shot!”
“I had to protect Lance!”
Akira blinked, and looked even more concerned. “Lance wasn’t with you.”
“Not this Lance.” He chuckled at Akira’s puzzled expression. “You wouldn’t believe what happened to us.”
“Well, you’d better tell me.”
24-Monsters
Waking up after a transformation was always painful and scary; even more so for Keith when he found himself lying on dry leaves in the forest rather than in the basement where he usually secured himself for the full moon. But Shiro being there too… that had to be the worst ever.
Despite the horror of Shiro knowing the truth about him, Keith’s first reflex was to hide as much as he could in the cover he was rolled in -before realizing that Shiro had to be the one who wrapped his naked body in it in the first place.
25-Rockband AU
The group had been less than enthusiastic about taking Keith in as a second guitarist, but Shiro was convinced of Keith’s talent, and he had been right. The young punk was a diamond in the raw, and since he joined the group, their popularity was off the charts.
He didn’t get along that well with the others, but they could work on that. Lance might complain about Keith being a show-off, but the public did love his solos. And Allura could keep accusing Shiro of being biased towards Keith… they still had found the new sound they were searching for.

 ‘When I was boy my Pop Pop Wimbleton told me the story of how he and Avatar Ozar ended the great war between the Nations and Spirits. Together they repurposed the desolate grounds of the final battle into The Untied Nations. A society where benders and non benders from across the world could live in peace. While Pop Pop Wimbleton would help established the capital known as Republic city and help fix the relations between the Nations, Avatar Ozar would travel the world to calm the spirits and fix the relationship between humans and spirits. Until one day he vanished within the spirit wilds. No one knew what happened to Ozar not even Pop Pop Wimbleton.’
“UM, Coran, Great Grandfather was seen a few times thirty years ago. Traveling between the North and South; Helping both Father and Auntie Honerva after their Ascension to chief hood. 
“Well, Yes Princess but-”
“And he was present twenty years ago when Allura and I we’re born and stayed until we we’re about three.”
“That's true Prince Lotor but-”
“Why are we even in class right now? All the other teachers canceled classes for armistice month.”  Lance Yawned as he stretched in his spot. This seemed annoyed the eccentric history professor.
“All right Everyone! I was trying to set the mood for today’s lesson!” 
Coran’s out burst caused Hunk to flinch a bit as he watched a grumbling Coran head over to a table covered with random items.
“Since we’ve began the Armistice Celebration, I’ve decided to replicate the process which each nation use to find the Avatar. Once found they wait till their sixteen birthday to announce their the Avatar.”
“By using a bunch of garbage?”  Hunk heard Pidge scoff beside him.
“Now, Every one you will have four squares on your designated areas. Each representing one of the four nations. You will take each item and palce it in the correct square where that test belong.”
Gesturing to the four tables he continued.
“Table one is filled with toys, you will take four, each one from a different nation. Table two has tea pots, cups and leaves. You will pick a tea set and a tea box and brew it. Table Three will have Jewelry, you will pick two pieces. And Finally Table four has multiple boxes, you will pick one box and take one item from it. Please be carful some of these items are antiques and are on loan from their owners. Now all you off you go and have fun but not to much er just don break anything.” 
Everyone gets up to begin to do the task. Hunk hears a lot of grumbling and moaning as they went to the tables. Hunk was nervous and rubbing his hands together. Repeating the mantra don't break any thing in his head. 
At Table one Hunk takes a clay turtle, a pull string propeller, a wooden hog monkey and a wooden hand drum. He felt a strange when he picked the toys. He just shrugged it off and placed them on the Air symbol.
At Table two Hunk begins to fiddle at his fingers. He see’s so many tea set and unmarked tea boxes he gets a little overwhelmed. The pots and cups range from plain to extremely detailed and is nervous to pick one. He doesn't even no which tea leaf to pick. Eventually he recognized a tea set. 
Its a gray tea pot and cup with beige swirls on the pot and cups. He takes it and random box. Opening the box he sees a flower, tea leaves and instructions on how to brew. After brewing the tea he places the hot pot and empty cups on the fire symbol. Hopeing it came out decent. Brewing tea in the traditional way is not his strong suite. 
At table three he picked up two necklaces one with a blue stone with what looked like carved bone surrounding it. He thinks its called a chocker. The second one was made of wood and had two red tassels with a big circle pendant that the air symbol on it.  Picking them up he felt a great wave of sadness and tears up a bit. One of the students Ryan Kinkade he thinks, was part of one of the Princes's group looked at him with some concern. Quickly wiping his face he carefully takes them and place the items on the water symbol.
Finally Table four, Hunk looked at all the boxes. Like the teapots they ranged from simple to ornate. It took him awhile to make his desicion, sweating from his own nervousness and the fact that everyone was waiting on him. He finally settled on a box that was made of a black rock. Obsidian if he would have to guess.  It had simple carving of  vines and leaves on the edges. Reaching in he took out a head piece. It had two prongs that looked like the fire nation symbol and a pin that went with it.
Turing around he heard gasps.  Prince James looked applaud and while prince Lotor was glaring at Coran.
Coran ignored them stroking his mustache and reminded them that ‘all the items we’re on loan’.
Hunk scurried over to his area at the end of the line. Ignoring the great weight that the head piece had as he carried it and placed on the earth symbol.
“Well so much of any easy A.” Lance huffed. 
“This entire lesson was pointless.” Pidge grumbled.
“Well I thought it was fun and its a great insight what other nations used to find the Avatar.”
“Come on, Hunk. Do you really think the Avatar is still around?” 
Hunk was shocked at what Lance had implied.
 “What do you mean? If they die, their reborn into the next life.”
“Hunk, he means that the Avatar doesn't even exist anymore. The current Avatar would have to be almost two hundred years old by now and even if he did died there no sign of a new one.”
“S-So?”
Pidge let out a sigh before she continued.
“So the world may no longer need an Avatar.”
Hunk didn't know how to respond he just sat their and listen to Pidge and Lance Bicker over something. Eventually Coran began to make his way towards his end.
Noticing how Coran was drinking each student tea he began to pour it. Listing to some of his comments on everyone's tea.
‘Wonderful, Allura!’ 
‘You've improved on your tea skills Romelle!’ 
‘Exquisite Blend Matt!’ 
‘Oooh, Your Water seems to be a little too hot Nadia.’ 
‘Ryan and Ina just the right amount of tea leaves.’ 
‘Axca your tea is little strong but that may be your personal preference.’
‘Ezor and Zethrid  I may have provided bad leaves for the both of you but I wont count that against you.’
‘James, Lotor stop glaring at me I already told you it was a approved loan!’
‘Narti a little too cold’
‘Keith Interesting blend.’
“Of course Mullet has an interesting Blend.” Lance grumbled at Coran’s compliment.
Hunk was slightly panicking as Coran approach. Hearing ‘Too strong, Pidge’ and ‘This taste just like my mother made it Lance.’ Lance noticing Hunk’s slightly panicked state he began to brag to distract Coran so Hunk can calm down a bit.
Taking a swig of his tea Hunk felt instantly calm and felt safe and light. Coran stepped in front of Hunk’s station. Before Coran could have a sip, Professor Wren came in.
“Professor Symthe, why are these students still here? Your Class ended twenty minutes ago.”
“Oh sorry Adam my boy we lost track of time. Everyone grab your things, Your all dismiss.”
Professor Wren just shook his head and called out to Keith head towards their HoltMobile. Hunk and his room mates grabbed their things and bolted towards their dorm so they can rest before tonight's celebrations. 
Coran watched as everyone leaved before checking his clip board.
Allura 4/4
Romelle 4/4
Matt 4/4
Nadia 4/4
Ina 4/4
Ryan 4/4
James 4/4
Lotor 4/4
Ezor 4/4
Acxa 4/4
Zethrid 4/4
Narti 4/4
Keith 4/4
Pidge 4/4
Lance 4/4
Hunk 
Coran looks up at hunks station and is surprised by what he sees. He only saw Hunk when he had the Head Piece but not the other items.
“How peculiar?” He reached down for the tea and poor himself a cup.
“MMMM, Jasmine. Very peculiar indeed.”
Hunk 4/4 A?-

thinking about that heith area 51 au I’m planning again... the sheer cheesy sci-fi romance novel energy it has. Hunk IS the small town baker looking for romance and Keith IS the mysterious new stranger in town and it WILL be absolutely delightful.
also featuring:
small child lotor
romelle/allura
acxa/veronica
technically this qualifies as a coffee shop au (even though it’s a bakery) but like. co-worker coffee shop romance so none of the weird being hit on while at work vibe
yes hunk does in fact hire keith
a very suspicious lance (look, he just wants someone who will do right by his BFF and he’s read enough romance novels to know that the mysterious leather-clad biker is usually bad news!)
lance voice: what the fuck hunk, you can’t just hire random men who show up at your shop
hunk voice: i can and I did. now do you want your sugary coffee concoction from hell or what
lance voice: yes please
cryptid enthusiasts matt and pidge!
WHY are there so many aliens in this town
mayor iverson
keith trying to figure out how living in a society works after being imprisoned since his childhood. he’s doing great!
(he is not, actually, doing great.)
hey why haven’t I mentioned Shiro yet. how weird. :)

Kacxa Week 2019: Day 3 - Life on Earth
Here I wanted to get a true to character for Acxa and Keith being Warriors in a Post-Combat time on Earth. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Galra side of his blood was boiling, ITCHING for action, but because he was still recovering, he was cleared for Active-Duty but placed on the Garrison's NO-FLY list. Instead, while the rest of the Paladins and MFE-Pilots were out doing drills or patrolling the Universe, he was stuck in boring briefings with Galaxy Garrison Brass, Coran, Resistance Brass, and the Blade of Marmora representative … his mother. And well, she was quite fearsome when it came to his well being. So she ordered a few recruits to stand watch over Black and his hanger.
Today's briefing was on Engineering, newer, more advanced weapons for the upcoming fight with the remnants of the Empire. Zarkon was dead, Lotor - dead, Sendak was killed. All that remained was Honerva. But Commander Holt, Slav, Coran, and some Olkarion Chief engineers were droning away at the sheer physics of some of their proposed weapons. "God, these things are boring," he thought to himself as the Matt, and now even an ensign tech-prodigy by the name of Vincent or something joined briefing. 
He looked around the table. Romelle, bless her heart, fell asleep; his mother tried following the techno-jargon, but even it was too much at times, and she helped Ranveig develop a Super Weapon as not to blow her cover. The Olkari were following intently even Resistance Engineers were keenly following. But when he saw her, she was just as bored as he was. When she noticed he was looking at her, she got a little flustered and sat at attention. He refocused on the briefing.
The briefing went on for another hour before disbanding for the return of the other Paladins and MFE-Pilots. He was going to get up but got informed he had to stay for the Paladins and MFE debriefing. Groaning internally he sat down, He looked to her, which she gave him a "catch you later flyboy" look and winked before leaving the briefing room. Even dear ole mom couldn't help him out of this, nor would she. 
Two hours pass, and he had FINALLY dismissed. So he went looking for Acxa. He found her sitting on his hoverbike in the pilot seat. After a quick exchange, he climbed onto the bike and let her take it to the spot where Blue had been found. They found a rocky ledge in which they could sit and watch the sun as it set and the stars as they started their dance across the night sky.
Acxa: Can I tell you something?
Keith: You can tell me anything you like.
Acxa: I don't want to sound ungrateful, but I don't like it here.
Keith: We could find another spot, its no biggie.
Acxa: No its not that, I don't like it here. On Earth.
Keith, a little hurt: Oh.
Acxa: Don't take it the wrong way. I enjoy being with you, every moment I spend with you I cherish dearly. 
Keith: But…?
Acxa: Earth-life is so dull. I am a warrior… We are warriors. We should be up there. 
She said as she looked up at the stars.
Acxa: Our Galra blood doesn't like to go stagnant; it thrives off of danger and conflict. I don't feel like myself or useful unless I am in combat or on a mission. Not some advisor
Keith let her pour her heart out. Her frustrations of being on Earth as well as the perks of it. But he understood what she was coming from. As she came down from her rant, he grabbed her hand. She looked down at him, intertwining his human fingers with her clawed fingers she took it as a "don't leave me" gesture. She looked away a little.
Keith: I understand all too well.
Acxa: You do?
Keith: You're right; we are warriors. You're a beautiful Galra former general turned Resistance Fighter, and I am a Paladin and Blade of Marmora member. I thought coming back to Earth would be great, since it's my homeworld, but since our return, we have been under Garrison Chain of Command. Rather than do things as we had before, we wait until ordered to do so, and when we return, we have to debrief and file reports. Debriefs are alright, but the waiting to go into action and paperwork sucks.
A blushing Acxa turned to look at Keith, who was glowing ever so softly in the moonlight. He did notice she was looking at him because he was watching some of the Perseids enter the atmosphere. Or what he assumed were perseids.
Keith: Being under their jurisdiction is even more frustrating. After my trials where I nearly had my arm cut off, there was no "No-Fly" list. I didn't have to recover in the Cryo-tube or paperwork. 
Acxa: How much longer do they have you on this No-Fly list?
Keith: Until I can prove I am "up to" the task of flying. So It could be next week or a few months from now. But if you want to get back up there…
Acxa: No, no. I can wait. Besides, after arriving and sitting with you while you recovered, it made me realize there is no other place I want to be than by your side. 
Keith: Or I with you. 
Acxa: Even if we are bored out of our skulls...
She looked up and saw hundreds of shooting stars along with the moon and a patch of clouds in the distance spitting out some heat lightning bolts. She had to admit, even though the planet was boring for her warrior spirit, it was beautiful. She leaned up against Keith as they continued to watch the beautiful wonders unfold in the night sky.
Acxa: ... on this beautiful planet of yours.

As the Ice Breaks
A Lotura Titanic AU! My (late) secret santa gift to @shehungthemoon @voltronsecretsanta2k18 here it is! 
When the ship hits the iceberg, Allura was not in bed when she should have been. Not like the lady Zarkon desired as a future wife to his adopted son, Sendak. She was not gossiping to her maid, Romelle, about the wedding set in place upon the Titanic’s destination. She was not staring at her blasted engagement ring, which she saw more as a shackle than a beloved promise. In fact, she had stripped away the ring and shoved it in a random jewelry container, resenting the jewel with every fiber of her beating heart. And she certainly was not visiting Sendak in hist quarters, breaking every rule of etiquette she was taught from the tender age of six from a nanny who dotted on her, but society did not.
No, she was dancing in the small quarters of the third class, ring missing from her finger and a bright smile stretched across her naked, pink lips. Her hands were clasped by a different male; a man with white hair and dark, starking blue irises. Kicked out on the streets by Zarkon, deemed the failure of the family and disowned, Lotor made his way on the ship for a new life, not aware of the woman he would meet and cross paths with his former family.
He was penniless, but provided an understanding of Allura; an offer of equality and unconditional love in their short time of knowing each other. He had stumbled upon her weeping on the deck of the ship late at night, wishing she did not have to marry a horrible man, praying her parents were still alive and she didn’t have to marry for money and status. To not leave behind her friends and dear nanny, who was declared too problematic to remain in Allura’s life by her new caretakers. She does not dare dignify them with a name, for they are nothing her and only provided a roof and high standards, not respect and love as her late parents did. Sendak was all about money and reputation; marrying her out of obligation than love. For marriage was seen as a form of upgrade in terms of financial capabilities and social status, not a reunion of pure adoration and fairy tale happily ever afters.
Marriage was a prison for Allura. But at the moment, she was free. She was barefoot in the lower class quarters, her sakura pink nightgown flowing with ease as Lotor spun her into his arms, the two laughing out of giddiness and the makeshift music his friends, Ezor and Zethrid, were making for the couple. Acxa, Lotor’s best friend, was looking on the sight with content, whispering to the dark haired fellow about how happy she is to see Lotor shining so bright with Allura.
She was ice around Sendak. But around Lotor, she is fire. She is raging, free from the cold depths of solitude and duty. Her light, forced to be shriveled to nothing but the size of a candle flame, was bolstering from its confines and turning every piece of ice into mist. She eradicated the burdens laid on her chest, screaming against those gagging her spirit and chaining it to a man who knew nothing of compassion; of white hot passion and sweet endearment.
Sendak was a prison. But Lotor gave her the key out.
And it is that reason why she is surprised by the sudden interruption of the ship swaying; metal creaking from the impact and screams of delight turned to screams of terror.
She lost her footing, close to colliding with the decks of the ship until Lotor caught her, concern morphing his features. His brows creased as he looked towards where the noise could have come from, the small crowd in the dining area quiet. As they waited for something  catastrophic--for someone to come yelling down from above to describe what occurred, slowly water began to seep past the cracks of the wood.
“The hell?” one of the passengers yell. It was a young latino boy with blue eyes, the soles of his shoes drenched in the salty liquid. The other passengers began to talk, the silence breaking into harsh whispers and some running up the stairs to see what had happened. The dark haired boy, who Lotor said is named Keith, ran out with a taller, muscular man with tufts of white bangs shadowing his eyes. Allura glances down at her own feet, instantly regretting she ran down with nothing but a nightgown and no shoes.
“Something must have happened with the ship,” Allura said, worriedly turning to Lotor. His face is pinched; his lips pursed and tight.
“Yes,” Lotor said in agreement. “Something tells me we shouldn’t remain here.”
Allura nods, motioning with her arm for the small band of misfits to follow along. All except one: Acxa.
Allura stopped in her tracks, allowing the crowd to go before her. Her hand remained in Lotor’s, the man stopping with her.
“Acxa, aren’t you coming?” Allura asked.
“I’ll be up there in a bit. The shift and water is a concern, but most of the people are asleep. I’m going to wake them up.”
Allura opens her mouth to push for Acxa to come with them, but stopped. The potential crash was big enough to awaken anyone on the bottom of the ship, the upper class less likely to notice. Yet Allura had a feeling Acxa is not wrong in checking in on the rest of the third class. They could be deep sleepers, or 100% believe the ship was unable to be destroyed and knocked the shift as a minor setback.
Whether it is a mild problem or not, it is better safe than sorry.
“I’ll join you.” said Allura, letting go of Lotor’s hand to follow the other woman. But as her hand slacken to release him for the upstairs and find out what’s going on, his grip tightened.
Allura glances at him. “Lotor, you should go. Me and Acxa will be right behind you as soon as we wake up the others.”
“No, I’ll come with. Where my friend and you go, I follow.” Lotor states. “There are enough people heading to the deck that we will have our answers soon. For now, let us retrieve the others.”
Noticing her worry, Lotor gives Allura a gentle smile and squeezed her hand, calm in the face of danger.
“We are in this together.” He whispers. And that is enough for Allura, for the next thing she knows is they are dashing up and down the third class level, the water moving from their ankles to their knees in a matter of minutes. But they paid it no mind, too busy banging on doors with their fists and explaining to families and single units of people of the crash. Most did not need convincing, not with the water rising at a rapid pace. So fast that Allura wonders if the ship will be evacuated; if there are enough lifeboats for the thousands of people who had boarded the termed “unsinkable ship”.
Sure enough, one of the people from upstairs came charging back, the dark haired boy named Keith alerting Lotor, Allura, Acxa, and whatever passengers that remained in earshot of the ship’s status.
They had hit an iceberg. And while the crew is playing up a calm facade by stating everything will be fixed and for people to go back to their rooms, their mask was cracking. Their faces were slack, but their eyes screamed terror. That they do not have everything under control--not as they wish they did.
What’s worse, Keith noted while running back down that some hallways were being locked off, preventing from passengers in certain areas unable to retreat to the above ground.
They were sinking, and they were sacrificing the third class to prevent a current of panicking people from overriding the staff.
Allura’s normally bright eyes darken, predicting who exactly they will be evacuating first if the sinking is confirmed. First class will gain the luxury of being placed in the safety boats.
Judging by her previous intake of the deck and how many boats she counted as she was meandering with her horrible fiance one early afternoon, there was a problem with the ship’s evacuation system.
The amount of boats did not equate to the number of people on the ship. At max they can save maybe 300 to 400 people. But the boat itself comprised of over a thousand civilians, the most filled being the third class. The first class is undoubtedly safe from a cold, slow death. But the rest, even the second class, is under an ambiguous, unjust fate.
“What gates aren’t closed off?” Lotor asked Keith, no doubt coming to the same realization as Allura.
“There are some left open towards the end,” Keith replied, out of breath from running up and down the stairs and shoving past a mass of people, losing Shiro in the process. Though Allura can tell he is not bothered by that fact--as long as shiro remained on the surface and safe Keith remained collected. “But we have to hurry. Most of the staff is closing gates on people and refusing to open them back up. They are even threatening passengers with guns.”
“They’ve gone mad,” Lotor comments with a grimace. “There are families--children down here.”
“Which is why we have to hurry. I’ll try to keep them from locking us out.”
“Will you be alright?” Lotor asked, concerned. “They may harm you.”
“I grew up on the streets. Nothing I haven’t experienced before.” Keith started to back away, heading to the nearest openings. “Just make sure to lead them to the right exits.”
“Wait, Keith!” Allura piped up, letting go of Lotor’s hand. “I may be of use with the staff. I know some of them personally, so hearing from a familiar face may help.”
Keith looks to Lotor, as if to ask if he was alright with the separation. The stakes were high; the situation dire. Keith isn’t a hundred percent sure he will make it back in one piece. When survival instincts go into effect, it tends to override a sense of morality; a conscience of sorts. It can make even the most noble of people to commit a dastardly deed. If Keith isn’t sure of his return, he cannot ensure Allura’s either. No matter her status, she is human. She is not immune to a bullet or a hard blow to the head anymore than Keith is.
Allura is aware of this as well, but knows Lotor cannot stand in her way. Not like Sendak, who would most likely seize Allura by the wrist and shove her to where he wanted to retreat, leaving behind those who could be saved.
Lotor is aware of Allura’s fighting spirit, and knows he cannot stop the separation. For her heart is in the greater good, not in survival of the fittest.
She faces Lotor head on, his gaze shifting from steel determination to a withering melancholy. He didn’t want her to leave. He did not want her to retreat into the unknown, placing her life at risk and leaving fate up for the decision of whether they would see each other again.
But as the water grew to their thighs and urgency of the matter slammed onto their shoulders, he knew he had no choice in the matter. In the end, he will not tell her what to do, even if he wants to be selfish. Even if he wants her safety to be confirmed. A part of him wished he could tell her Allura to just head to the deck and jump in one of the lifeboats, knowing they will be boarding women and children in the first class as priority.
But he also knew if he suggested such a thing, it would be an insult to her character; a slap in the face to who she is and moral compass.
Her loyalty is not with her class. It is with the innocent lives at stake.
So with a heavy heart, he took a step back, ready to follow Keith’s instructions, ready to possibly never see the woman he loved again.
“Go, love,” He whispers. “If destiny is kind to us, we will meet again.”
Allura’s heart swells, her love for the man before her brought tears to her eyes. He didn’t want to let go, but he does because it is what she wants. Because he has to, and if you love someone enough you are more willing to release them from your grip than restrain. Oh how she wanted to remain by his side in the darkest hour, but it isn’t in her soul. It isn’t her nature, but she prays to whatever deity that exists for her to meet up with her love one more time.
Which is what prompts her to step closer to him and, without a moment of hesitation, kissed him. She cupped her hands on his face, pushing her body against his as she laid a passionate, deep, maybe last kiss with him. And he, taken aback by the onslaught, quickly circles his arms around her and returns the passion.
“We will reunite, I swear it.” Allura said when they separate. Lotor nodded, and as they step away from each other, as they walk different paths, their gaze never faltered. Not until they were out of sight, Allura up the stairs and Lotor down with Acxa, leading the people to temporary safety.
Yes, they would reunite. Allura would make sure of it. Not the staff, not Sendak, and not even death can strip away her desires.

Theories I Have So Far:
There are probably others I theorized about and forgot. There are probably going to be more that pop into my head. There are some here I don’t agree with anymore and directly contradict others. I just wanted to get this out before we get anything for S8. 
Also, keep in mind that theories are just that: theories. I’m not saying anything is GOING to happen. Very little is based on interviews, mostly coming from my interpretation of events in the show, the character’s personalities, and writing patterns I see. They’re fun to think about, so it doesn’t matter if they’re right or wrong or if you disagree.
Rift creatures are the true 'main villain’ (addition: they’re actually the enemies of the entities that are the lions, as opposed to an enemy of their pilots). 
Honerva is the one that has the Alteans and they’re working for her willingly. 
Honerva is trying to open the rift to get Lotor back. It seems that she’s not possessed by the rift creatures anymore, so she probably thinks that she can ‘cure’ him of his ‘madness’. 
Lotor is going to come back. 
Acxa is working with Honerva, also to try and help Lotor.
Acxa is part Altean, one of her parents having come from the colony. 
Krolia is part Altean, one of her parents having come from the colony. (The only way these two theories work at the same time is if they’re related, but if one is confirmed the other likely will not be). 
We’re never going to get confirmation on what other kind of alien Acxa or Krolia are.
We see Kova, Honerva’s cat again.
Haggar created Narti, and that was why Kova was her ‘seeing eye cat’. Maybe we see a new Narti.
On the flip side, Narti was actually a humanoid vessel for Kova to use, just because.
The Paladins want to stay on Earth, but Allura and Keith both want to go back into space for different reasons. This leads to a little bit of a rift between them.
Allura and Lance are going to be together at the beginning of S8, but they’re going to break up (it’ll be a mutual, non-hurtful break up where they know they’re not meant to be together but that’s okay).
Keith and Lance are going to end up in some kind of verbal argument or fight before everything else goes to hell.
People want Keith to take up the title of Galra Emperor (based on the fact that he was the one that killed Sendak, is part Galra, the coalition could get behind it, he’s the Black Paladin, etc). 
Keith is not going to want any part of the above plan but may go along with it for a little bit. 
Krolia or Kolivan become the Emperor.
Acxa is on their side, and she becomes the new Galra leader.
The idea of a Galra Empire is completely dissolved by whoever ends up in power. 
Keith is confirmed to have an extremely high amount of quintessence in him, or at least an odd connection to it.
Honerva wants Keith for his quintessence. 
Perhaps to experiment. Perhaps as a puppet. Perhaps to get Lotor back.
Keith gets kidnapped and taken to Honerva. 
Possibly by Acxa. Maybe the Altean on Earth escapes and does it. Maybe it’s someone else all together. 
The lions are destroyed in the process. Or, at the very least, they’re defeated, because they desperately need some kind of upgrade to fight Honerva’s weapons. 
Lance pilots Black in order to save Keith. 
If all the lions are still working, instead of a complete lion switch again, Coran or possibly Romelle step in to pilot Red temporarily. 
Keith may end up being controlled and becoming Honerva’s ‘puppet’ for a while. She may try instilling him as an ‘Emperor’ to basically hold the seat for Lotor. 
She does something to corrupt him and he goes ‘feral’. 
In order to save himself, Keith follows Shiro’s lead and goes into the Astral Plain.
Lance, having a connection to Black now, goes in after him. Keith is corrupted, or feral, or he thinks Lance is an enemy, and they fight. Lance gets through to him by talking to him though.
Allura and Honerva face off against one another. 
With Romelle’s help, Allura manages to get the Alteans back on her side. 
Allura and Lotor face off in some form. Allura manages to do what no one else could do and save him from control of the rift creatures.
We go back to mermaid-world at some point (LM loved this world), because that side adventure Lance and Hunk had won’t be a side adventure since the Baku will turn out to be a rift creature (that maybe they thought was defeated but might still be alive). 
Keith offers to step aside as Black Paladin for Lance. Lance rejects this offer, not confident with himself and where he belongs with being the Red Paladin to Keith’s Black. 
Shiro and Lance are going to have some sort of talk, likely about Lance having a second chance and not to waist it or let someone he cares about slip away from him. 
Allura’s story is going to end up being about her not just letting go of this idolized image of her father, but surpassing her father. She may not end up being the princess of the Alteans anymore, but she, Coran, and Romelle will end up saving them.
Allura somehow figures out a way to fix/make their lions stronger, and they end up getting physical upgrades because of that because magic. 
Alternatively, the Paladins have to help her with each one connecting with their individual lion in a way like never before. 
Earth, the Galaxy Garrison, becomes kind of the HQ/home base of the coalition.
The Atlas is not the new version of the castle ship. Atlas is this iteration of Vehicle Voltron and will stay on Earth, along with the MFE fighters, to protect everything there since Earth will become a major galactic hub of sorts.
We actually get a new ship to take place of the castleship (it may not be in the shape of a castle though). Perhaps it could literally be named Castle or something.
We’re going to see a klance hug framed the same way as the Allura-Keith and Allura-Lance hugs.
We’ve already seen the ‘end’ of Hunk and Pidge’s personal stories (Shiro’s is weird and unlike any other traditional hero’s journey), but they’ll be important in a group sense and to other stories. We’re going to see the end of Allura, Keith, and Lance’s stories. 
Lance’s most in-your-face character arc had to wait until the end because it’s about romantic love and you don’t bring that in too early unless you want useless melodrama. 
Also, Lance led us into the story, so he’s going to be the one to guide us out of it too.
Lance and Keith are going to end up together in the end (not right away, because there needs to be a bit of breathing room after the end of a\\urance). 
Keith finally gets the Voltron chant right.
We end the show with our five current Paladins, and maybe some others, going back into space to help the universe as Voltron (it’s their job now and they can always come back to Earth later).
