#this is so fluffy but i love dog dad keith

[autisticlancemcclain]

Keith had never believed people when they told him that dogs were not intelligent creatures. Growing up, he’d heard the same thing over and over again — dogs don’t have very big brain capacity, they could understand commands to a degree but not follow a conversation, et cetera, et cetera. Keith, stubborn as he was and is, remained steadfast in his belief that they were all wrong. Then he was 20, in space, part of Voltron, he found that he was right. Dogs are smart.

His dog, especially, is very intelligent.

Now, some people might assume that he has come to this conclusion because his dog is excellent at following commands. Or maybe because Kosmo was one of his only sources of company, on that space whale, so perhaps Keith believed they could converse. A more logical person might assume that Keith has observed Kosmo to be intelligent because, perhaps, he is an alien, and therefore not technically a dog.

They would all be incorrect. Keith knows his dog is intelligent because his dog is the most spiteful little shit he’s ever met.

Don’t get him wrong — Kosmo is the goodest boy in the universe. Keith now fully understands all those John Wick movies — if someone hurt Kosmo, Keith would go feral. He would go batshit insane. He’d kill some people. He loves his dog.

His dog is still a motherfucker.

Not once, in the two years they were on that space whale, did Kosmo follow even one of his commands. ‘Sit?’ No. ‘Stop jumping on people?’ Don’t kid yourself. ‘Please stop screaming at the moon in the dead of night when I’m trying to sleep?’ Forget it. ‘Fetch?’ In your fucking dreams. At first, Keith was like, okay. Whatever, you know? Maybe alien dogs don’t do commands. Maybe Kosmo doesn’t speak English. Krolia tried a few commands in Galran, to no effect. Eventually, he and Krolia gave up. It was fine. Kosmo was a pretty well behaved dog when he wanted to be, which was occasionally. He just didn’t follow commands — he can’t! He’s incapable.

And then Kosmo met Lance, and Keith knew his dog was a dirty liar.

———

“—as soon as they get back, we need to —”

Lance’s loud gasp cuts off what Keith is trying to say, so Keith turns towards him, a reprimand prepared on his tongue, only for words to fail him. Lance is staring at the space behind Keith, dark brown eyes wide and elated, beam so bright Keith feels the force of it settle heavily in his bone marrow.

“Is that a puppy?!”

Upon hearing the call, Kosmo perks right up, tail wagging so fast it blurs, and bounds right over to Lance.

All 200 pounds of him, full speed, straight towards Lance, who is scrawny as a string bean and maybe 120 pounds soaking wet.

Keith foresees some injuries.

“Wait, Kosmo, no jumping —”

Kosmo, of course, does not heed Keith’s command, and is far too fast for Krolia to grab hold of him. He continues to barrel towards the Cuban, and Keith feels time slow as Kosmo zooms forward. He squeezes his eyes shut, knowing poor Lance is going to go flying, and dammit he was going to be so mad at Keith —

“Down, boy.”

Keith blinks his eyes open only to see, right clearly in front of him, his traitor of a dog sitting, patiently, in front of Lance. Tail wagging and tongue lolling out in a big doggy grin.

Keith’s jaw drops. He hears Krolia mutter incredulously behind him.

“Oh, who’s a good, strong, well-behaved boy, huh?” Lance coos, dropping to his knees in front of Kosmo in order to adequately shower him in affection. “You are the sweetest, most wonderfullest dog in the universe, aren’t you?”

Kosmo howls.

“Aren’t you?”

Kosmo howls louder, batting his head forwards — gently! So fucking gently! Keith had never seen that little brat be gentle even once in his life! Once, Kosmo had tackled Keith right into a pile of rocks! He’d gotten a concussion! — in glee. Lance laughs, bright and loud, and Keith flushes in spite of his frustration.

“What’s your name, boy, huh?”

“Kosmo,” Keith answers weakly, because the dog can’t damn well do it himself (unless he has some other abilities he’s been hiding, the fucker).

“Kosmo, please know I love you more than anything ever,” Lance says, ignoring Hunk’s offended ‘hey!’ in the background.

Lance pays him no mind and continues to lavish Kosmo with love, and Kosmo eats it all up as if he’s been starved. As if Keith has not provided him with hourly smooches and cuddles since he was a literal baby.

Traitor.

After several minutes of Keith staring in incredulous (and, okay, perhaps affectionate) silence, Krolia clears her throat.

“Urgent business, Keith,” she reminds him.

“Oh, uh, right —”

Keith goes on to explain the crisis with Lotor, emphasizing the danger they’re all in, but he’s — distracted. Suddenly he wishes he hadn’t cut Lance off earlier, wishes he had given him the hug he asked for. Keith swallows, throat dry.

He’ll make it up to him.

———

He doesn’t really get to apologise to Lance, not in the way that he’d like. They’re just so busy, so chaotic, in between dealing with Lotor and losing the Castle and getting the real Shiro back — it’s just been a mess. Not that it’s an excuse, but it’s at least a reason.

Finally, though, a few weeks after the Lotor Incident, everyone is nicely settled on a planet, ready to camp for the night.

Keith, now starting to get comfortable again in his role as leader (with a lot of help from Lance, which shouldn’t make his heart pound and face light up with a pleased flush but does anyway because he’s a whipped loser, unfortunately), assigns everyone with a task, then sets about scouring the area to make sure they’ll be safe to sleep for the night.

When he comes back, area secured, he’s surprised to find himself alone at the campsite. The others must be taking their time, maybe doing chores together and chatting. That’s fine. They’ve got nowhere to be.

“Here, boy, you wanna try something new?”

Apparently not Lance, though. Keith jogs over to where he heard Lance’s voice, only to find him crouching in front of Kosmo, holding a decently sized stick from the pile of firewood he’s gathered behind him. Keith snorts. Lance may have more luck getting Kosmo to listen than the rest of them, but fetch is a lost cause.

“Don’t waste your breath, Lance,” Keith calls, startling the Cuban a little. “Kosmo doesn’t do fetch.”

Lance rolls his eyes, corners of his lips quirking up. “Animals tend to listen to me. I think I can do it.”

“I dunno. Kosmo is the stubbornest bitch I’ve ever met, next to you,” Keith teases.

Lance scoffs, but he’s grinning. “Oh, okay, Mr. I-Tried-To-Fight-Zarkon-With-My-Fists.”

Keith laughs. He’s missed this — their banter, the teasing, the poorly-covered affection. He’s missed Lance.

“Yeah, yeah, Cargo Pilot. Go ahead. Try it.”

Lance’s grin turns sharp, and Keith swallows. Somehow, someway, in his time away, he’d forgot how sexy Lance is when he’s being cocky.

“Watch and learn, Dropout.”

Without another beat he’s turning back towards Kosmo, who looks smugly (damn dog) at Keith before turning wide, falsely-innocent eyes towards his new best friend.

“Are you ready, sweet boy?” Lance coos, and Kosmo barks excitedly, hopping around.

“Okay, buddy! See this stuck here?”

He holds the stick out towards Kosmo, who sniffs it. Lance praises him heavily, reaching into his pocket and tossing him a treat.

“Yes, that’s right! Good boy!”

Kosmo yips, and Lance smiles, patting his head. “Now, here’s the next part — when I move the stick, you’re gonna follow it, okay?”

Lance slowly and gently moves the stick as far as he can to his left, keeping a hold on it, and Kosmo follows it dutifully.

Keith feels that earlier incredulousness bubbling back up. No fucking way.

“Excellent, Kosmo! Good job!” Lance gives him another treat, making Kosmo’s tail wag faster.

“Okay, buddy, last step: I’m gonna throw the stick, and then you’re gonna go bring it back for me, okay? And then you can have another treat. You ready?”

Kosmo honest-to-God nods, and Lance draws the stick back, before launching forward with a good amount of strength.

“Go fetch, Kosmo!”

Kosmo bounds after the stick immediately, howling loudly as he does. Keith’s jaw drops.

“No way!”

Lance smirks at him. “Yes way. Told ya.”

“Fuck off, it doesn’t count unless he bring it back, and he won’t.”

He fucking better not, the little asshole. Keith tried to teach him fetch for three goddamn months.

No sooner do the words leave his mouth does Kosmo come tearing across the field, stick clamped firmly in his jaws. He skids to a stop in front of Lance, dropping the stick at his feet, then sits, tongue lolling out expectantly.

“Oh, Kosmo, you’re so smart! Good, good boy!”

Lance gives him his treat, which Kosmo devours, and then the damn dog turns toward Keith, huffs, and prances off with his snout in the air. As if he’s the one who’s been offended.

Lance cackles. Keith sputters.

“Why — he just — that little turd!”

Keith’s indignance makes Lance laugh harder, hunching over and clutching his waist.

“Y — your face —”

Keith can’t bring himself to be truly mad, not in the direct presence of Lance’s musical laughter.

Doesn’t stop him from putting Lance in a headlock and fucking up his hair, though. Keith may be in love with him, but he has some dignity left, and he’s not gonna stand there, moony-eyes, as someone laughs at him. (Is he going to high dreamily about it later? …Possibly.)

———

Later, in his tent, Kosmo sprawled on top of him, Keith sighs, dragging a hand down his face. He keeps his other hand where is is, scratching Kosmo under the chin.

“Is this because I told you stories about mostly Lance on the space whale?” he whispers. “Is that why you listen to him?”

Kosmo turns his big round eyes towards Keith, blinking slowly. Obviously, he doesn’t answer.

“I think it is. I think I said the name Lance too often when you were a puppy, and it hardwired into your brain, or something.”

Kosmo leans over a licks a long, wet stripe up Keith’s face, making him laugh and shove him away. “Gross, you goober. Now I got slobber all over my face. Ugh.”

He still leans forward and plants a big kiss on his dumb dog’s forehead, even if that dog is a slobbery traitor who does not deserve Keith’s kisses. (Who is he kidding. Kosmo could body slam Keith off a cliff and he’d still give him as many kisses as he wants. Keith loves his dog.)

“Turncoat,” he mutters into think fur. “You’re supposed to be my best friend, but with all the simping you’re doing for Lance he’s gonna like you better than me, and then I don’t get a chance.”

He huffs a laugh, rolling his eyes at himself. “God, I need to go to sleep.”

He presses another kiss to Kosmo’s head before collapsing backwards, crossing his arms behind his head and closing his eyes.

He dreams of him and Lance and Kosmo, in a house of their own, overlooking the ocean.

Maybe someday.

Siblings Reunited

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Things to know before reading this! 1. Luz is the same age as hunter (16) so her and Lance year apart 2. Luz and Lance are Altean 3. Luz went to the garrison but was asleep during shiro rescue therfore was not there for voltron 4. Luz and Lance eyes are the same blue as Allura 5. Allura is Lance and Luz older sister 6. Lance & Luz were adopted and has younger siblings 7. Hunter hangs out regularly at the owl house and gives them information on Belos 8. The demon realm is a planet 9. I used Google translate for Spanish 10. I didn't go to the wiki to see all of lances family's names or how big it is so all names mention is made up, also sorry if there oc haven't binged watched the shows for awhile

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Voltron had just landed in a clearing near the owl house to get more supplies when Lance and Hunk heared a voice they recognized. Hunk turned to look at Lance who had teary eyes, started to run towards her voice leaving other members of Voltron confused and started to run after Lance, everyone but Hunk yelled "Lance wait!"

------------Owl house------------

Luz was teaching hunter Glyphs when she heard people yelling everyone hanging out at the owl house turned toward the sound When suddenly someone she recognized the person that was the reason for being a witch to find them. Twin bright blue eyes froze when met it was like time had stopped Eda confused with a quirked eyebrows her hand on her hip and a finger pointed towards Lance and the member of voltron "So uh you recognize those guys Luz they look human ears are round and everything"

After Eda broke the silence both Lance and Luz ran towards each other crying

"Hermano mayor!" "Hermanita" Lance picked up Luz in a hug twirling her around after a few moments he set her down "Hermanita What are you doing on this planet? Luz wiping her tears away glared at Lance weakly punching his chest "Learning Magic to find you ya big Jerk! Where were you! You know how devastated I was!"

"I know I know.. and I'm sorry Estrella fugaz" he paused for a moment before his eyes harden

"wait how did you get here?" Lance questions

Luz laughs nervously "wellll...I may or may not have gone through a magic door to get my book and..umm ... I decided to learn magic to help me find you.. I also may or may not have destroyed my only way home to save Eda...." King looks around and speaks up "So your Luz Brother?" Luz looking over and blushed embarrassed realizing it wasn't just her brother and Eda infront of the owl house looking at the many confused and curious faces "yeah king his my older brother and big guy in yellow is Hunk and I believe the guy in red is Keith?" Luz pauses thinks for moment. Wanting to take a little sibling revenge on Lance for making her worry and leaving without her that night takes the moment to embarrass her big bro "yeah I'm pretty sure that's Keith Lance wouldn't shut up about how pretty his eyes were or about his stupid mullet!" Both Keith and Lance's face turn to a brilliant shade of red, redder then Eda dress or Keith's lion. "What the hongos taki was that for! LUZ!" Lance screamed embarrassed Luz smiling a bright devilish smile "well that was for worrying me so much" Pidge looked over at Keith who was a frozen in place blushing red still shared look with Hunk a sole promise to tell Luz about the 'Bonding moment' that Lance swears up and down didn't happen and make her a member of the Klance shippers club they already had alot of memebers through out the galaxy not to mention everyone in Voltron Shipped it.

Meanwhile Eda shared a look at the owl house gang that says they just gained memebers of Lunter shippers club.

▪︎▪︎▪︎●●●▪︎▪︎le time skip▪︎▪︎●●●▪︎▪︎▪︎

Everyone at a campfire and trading stories about there the siblings childhood or what happen while they were gone and finished teasing each other Lance gained a serious look "Luz I have something to tell you.. you might get upser but you deserve to know" the owlhouse memebers gained a look of concern and Luz a look or worry with hunter rubbing encouraging circles on her back "soo what is it?" Lance nervous looks down breaths in looks up and rips the metaphorical bandaid off "were not human we were born Altean we're Princess Alluras little siblings our escape pods were lost in space for some time before it crash landed near mom an dad's old house due to natural instinct were shifted to a more human form" Lance who had shifted to his Altean form now sported Snow white Hair and Blue Altean Marks and eyes were a shade brighter and ears shifted to look like a witches ears but somewhat longer watching and freckles to take on a little glimmer to them. Lance Shifting caused her Natural ability to shift to trigger as well by the end of Lance sentence now looked similar to her brother hers ears now look exactly like her brothers Eyes gained the same shade as her brother's just turned to freckles glimmered a bit brighter then her brothers and Altean Marks were Pink not blue and Hair turned the same snow white as her brothers but hers grew down a little and Hair turned a more fluffy

All things considered was taking it quite well although not realizing she shifted and everyone looking at her amazed at just how much she looked like her brother Hunter who was still next to her was blushing bright red and couldn't help but think she look so much more beautiful in her Natural form not that he didn't think she wasn't beautiful before she just seem to look more comfortable and shine.

Luz who was looking down looked back up " I knew we were adopted but.. I didn't think we were... alien" Lance who was smiling fondly at his sisters Shifting into her Natural form without her noticing he noticed she already looked more comfortable his Mama would always comment how they never completely relaxed she would always try to get them to relax too spa days, movie nights the works it wasn't just they're Mama either it was the whole family that would try smiling at the thought if Mama and His Siblings were to see how they look now the twins Hugo and Hannah would probably grab onto there ears there older sister Cana would ruffle there hair jealous and amazed at how fluffy and soft it is his second oldest sister Marie would absolutely be inlove with how shiny there freckles are marveled at how they look like constellation in the sky like the astrologist she is there older brother Coco or Cole Much like Cana ruffle our hair and demand that we grow it out like his was Bonnie wouldn't care at all just demand they teach her stuff about space and the possible sea creatures they saw she was always giddy to learn new things from her older brothers and sisters Connie the youngest of all his siblings was just a baby probably out of the baby babble stage Hinata should be in his first year of High school he would just cling to us demand that we play a few rounds of volleyball with him on the beach I wonder if he made his high-school tean? I also wonder if the other set of twins in the family Derek and Danna got Captin and Co captain in there schools swim team or if there cousin they were closest too Marinette finally got her name in the fashion industry "your thinking about them aren't you?" Luz spoke with sense of knowing and understanding "yeah I was thinking on how they would react to our charming~ good looks!" Everyone smiles at that sentence "we should get to bed soon though I know how cranky you get Luz" Luz deadpan and looks at him "your the same exact way how many times did Coco get bruised by a pillow from you throwing it?" Lance's eye twitched "well I'm not the one that gave Marie the black eye with the soft dog toy" Hunter speakes up "How do you do that!?" Lance and Luz both look over at Hunter and talks in unison "each don't really know we always been a bit stronger then normal maybe it was from helping Auntie Sabine and Uncle Tom around the Bakery?"

With that the Siblings that could pass for twins went back to arguing ... few days later Both Hunter and Keith got Shovel talks by their crushes younger/older sibling

Luz had met Allura and loved just as much as she does the rest of her family while also demanding to know Altean Anatomy she doesn't want some kind of nasty surprise

Can I request poly leo x reader x nico?👀👉👈

Leo x reader x Nico

Sun and moon

Cat and dog

Crackhead and straight man

They both need a lot of love and a lot of reassurance 

Touch starved as hellllllll

Leo hugs you, you hug Nico

Leo’s a lot more open about his touchiness than Nico

Nico doesn’t really know how to express his affection so he ends up just like

Nudging and cuddling you like a cat

These boys need lots of cuddles

And  l o t s  of kisses

V similar but for v different reasons

Both night owls 

Nico for obvious reasons and Leo cause he’s probably hyperfixated on some project

Both touch starved

Both need a lot of attention

Both get bad mental health days because ~trauma~

Nico tends to isolate himself 

While Leo just gets like 

Really sad

Which he hates

If Nico needs alone time you'll give him one of your jackets or something to let him know you’re still with him

It means a lot to him

If Leo needs together time you'll be right next to him for as long as he needs

Leo somehow manages to drag Nico into a lot of stupid shit

He won't admit it but it helps him loosen up a little

I'm talking pillow fights, “is water wet” style debates, dance battles, pool noodle sword fights "to the death"

Nico has tried to explain you can’t fight to the death with pool noodles

Almost a Keith and Lance dynamic

They can never agree on music

Ever

Leo is a hard latin/pop fan and Nico would die for vintage jazz

"It walked so lofi could run"

It gets to the point where one of two things happens when yall wanna listen to music together 

Either you take one each of their bluetooth headphones and have Camila Cabello in one ear and Peggy Lee in the other 

Which is very chaotic 

Or everyone listens to one of your playlists

Your taste in music is the only genre they can agree on

If anyone messes with you 

Ohmygod they are terrifying

Nico goes for the whole chillingly stoic almost cryptid like energy

While Leo goes for the unhinged pyromaniac angle

A weirdly dynamic duo

Nico really loves "kidnapping" you in the middle of the night to do cute shit

Look at the stars, sit by a pretty body of water, sneak you into a gorgeous botanical garden 

The gardens are his favorite

He loves to watch your face while you look at the flowers 

Thinks you’re the prettiest flower

Fucking loves the way you look in the moonlight

He really cherishes those quiet moments with you 

He’ll sometimes sing to you really softly in italian and slow dance with you

It’s really just an excuse to hold you close

But you’re not complaining

Leo gets a lot of his one on one time with you when Nico sleeps during the day

The two of you really team up to make sure he's taking care of himself, which includes making sure he naps to compensate for the undoubtedly many hours he was awake the night before 

It's kind of like when a baby is sleeping, it's a good time to get some quiet housework done, or do a little self care

You've gotten into the habit of baking when Nico's asleep

You and Leo get to spend some time together, and Nico gets a treat when he's awake

Baking with Leo is a fluffy, truly vsco worthy, only slightly disastrous adventure 

And by vsco worthy I mean you actually had a sprinkle fight once

You have cute matching aprons with little bears or something on them

His favorites are those pillsbury cookies with the pictures and designs in them

Nico really likes it when you make muffins with extra icing and maybe just a little frosting

And sprinkles but just cause he knows you like them

Those are cupcakes Nico

He is always more than happy to caramelize anything

You call him your culinary flame thrower and he blushes 

If whatever you bake is cooled off by the time Nico wakes up, Leo will wrap it in tin foil and flame blast it for a few seconds

Nice and warm uwu

You've gotten so many cute pictures while baking it’s half of your camera roll

Everybody has sleep problems

Every fucking body 

So a lot of times yall will migrate into one bed throughout the night 

Or just set up a nest on the couch

They both like the smell of metal cause it makes them think of their dads places

Stygian iron and celestial bronze

You turn on some fairy lights and play a cartoon in the background 

It's so calming and comforting

Sleeping sammiched between them is nice for a lot of reasons

Mostly bc Leo's really warm and Nico's really cold so not only do they balance out your temperature 

You balance out theirs too

It's like a cuddly convection current

Advent Challenge Day 01 - Cinnamon

I didn't plan another Advent Challenge until last week but well, Corona happened, I'm still not working again, so here we are. This is something useful to do after all. This year it runs under the motto "domestic bliss". This year is crazy enough so let's make the end of it fluffy!

Day 01 - Cinnamon

The door to the flat opened and a surge of icy cold air followed the man and the large dog as they entered, glad to be out of the freezing air outside. The air smelled like the upcoming holidays, full of spices, among them was cinnamon the most prominent.

The dog trotted off to greet the other inhabitant of said flat as his owner took off his shoes, scarf and mittens. Only then he followed his pet into te kitchen.

"Keith! Your dog is cold!", the other man, tall, two-coloured hair, gorgeous, said accusingly and pointed at the dog who had laid down in front of the running oven.

"I didn't ask for this weather!", Keith replied while he let his still cool fingers glide to his partner's neck.

"KEITH! You are cold too! Stay away!"

Keith chuckled and started the water kettle to prepare himself a cup of tea.

"What are you baking, Shiro?", he asked curiously.

"Cinnamon rolls. The recipe looked simple enough."

"Hmmm!!! nice! I brought the wine, so we can have that later, too."

Shiro grinned. "That sounds like a perfect winter evening."

He stepped behind Keith to embrace him and place a kiss on the back of his neck.

At this moment the water boiled and Keith filled his mug. Only then he turned around to give his boyfriend a proper kiss. Shiro always tasted to good! And now some of the cinnamon power still dusted his lips and somehow the mixture of Shiro and cinnamon gave Keith a sense of peace of security! Something he had from his mother. At least she had told him that she also had loved it when his father had occupied himself with baking Christmas cookies and gingerbread plates he used to make artfully decorated houses!

Keith looked up. "Did you find the gingerbread recipe in the book?", he asked.

"Yes. Why?"

"Let's make a gingerbread house tomorrow! I brought everything we should need for that as well." Today was too late. He was supposed to prepare dinner after all. But tomorrow... There was still much time until Christmas and he wanted to make a gingerbread house with someone he loved again!

"You mean like you did with your dad?"

"So mom told you, too. Yes. Like I used to do with dad. And now I want it with the one who stole my heart!"

Shiro chuckled and kissed Keith again this time deeper. "As you wish," he said. Then he kissed him again.

They got the cinnamon rolls out of the oven only very few minutes before they got too dark to be edible.

Anyways the VLD fandom might be an absolute dumpster fire but I still made a whole lotta mediocre doodles to put in it:

More under cut:

Ive been playing a lot of AC:PC. :’0

Matts a little too happy to the beauty and splendor of Shiro and Allura.

Keith and Lance are unamused.

IDK... Keith gave him that shirt.

Calm the big girlfriend with brushies.

Dees girlfriends tho.

TEAM PUNK.

Shiro is Team!Mom and Dad at the same time. When I wont share with my asshole siblings my mum asks for whatever I have and I give it to her but then my asshole siblings end up getting it from her. Thats what inspired this.

Im Pidge.

Rolo likes that squish.

Bit janky but I want more Hunk/Shiro bonding in the show... :’T

Keith sure do love his big soft BF.

Pidge is p cool too in his books.

Keiths jacket looks short on him so...

NO.

Those tiddies are too powerful to contain.

I tend to work from the bottom up.... and I wanted long hair!Shiro.... and was like kinky long hair Sheith? ... No no soft cuddles. Soft touching.soft hugs. Because Shiro deserves to be treated with a tender hand after everything hes been through.

Messy doodles~~~ but theyre made of love~

Pallura? Is that what Pidge/Allura is? Allura is trying to... A~LLURE HER~ girlfriend with all her fluffy hair. Its working.

I forgot his scar. OH WELL. I forgot anatomy as well and were not complaining about that now are we?!

This small monochrome human is the Blades now.

Ship Shiro with all the kitties!

He doesnt know its an ugly sweater... dont tell him.

So many fragile little toes. Kolivan doesnt get it. Humans are weird. But his is the best human.

~( :-L >

Shiros scientific research of where the softest fuzz is on these purple kitties.

I drew these before Allura got over her Galra hang ups.

Sendak is the fluffiest of boys.

Sendak also enjoys Shiros fluff.

Head canon that Ulazs back is covered in spots and markings like his head. No one can take it away from me now.

THE FIRST SCRITCHY

CLAIMED FOR ULAZ:

Ulaz you dog.

(or cat)

Keith sends the best gifts.

-----

TIDDY DISCOURSE.

The top 3 softest

A: //concerned Shiros gonna get salmonella from eating cookie dough S: //LIVING ON THE EDGE H: //amused that his two helpers turned out to be useless dweebs in the kitchen

---------------

I was gonna make a little comic that involved Shiro finding and sneaking a bb Galra onto the ship.

Shiro doesnt know how to take care of a baby Galra but hes nervous about telling the rest of the gang...

But he does need to feed the bb...

So youre just goin full dad huh? Can you please help...

BB Ulaz doesnt appreciate being held by randos.

Hunk stealth collects info on bb Galra and sneaks supplies to Shiro while they figure out how to precede.  Its Always Sunny title card: SHIRO AND HUNK RAISE A BABY

Shiros a S-Rank multi-tasker. He can exercise, play with his bb, and make Hunk cry in one go!

2 sketchy.

---another comic idea doodle.

A: Shiro? Shiro? C: ...Easy Shiro... S: ugh... what happened...

P: A whole buncha weirdness happened.... L: Hey Shiro! S: !?!?!?!

S: Cute? ...

S: WHAT?! WHATS HAPPENING?!!? A: Please calm down!!! C: You just recovered Shiro... youre gonna hurt yourself!! S: WHY AM I PURPLE?!

A: Well.... You were attacked by some kind of magic user... and this sort of just happened... My guess is the spell turned you into the species of someone youve been close to... Hunk youre connection with Shay turned you into a Balmeran... H: //kinda ok with that

A: Lance and Pidge have Plaxum and Ryner....

A: And Shiro..... S: ....Ulaz? A: I think... L: WELL THATS SAD AND ALL BUT I GOTTA QUESTION!

L: WHY THE HECK WASNT KEITH EFFECTED?! K: Im already part Galra... This is how I look. A: ...Maybe... but I was thinking that you have a close relationship with a human... and since you are part Galra that technically makes the human an alien to you. K: .... oh so Shiro?

L: GROSS! Its bad enough youre Galra dont be cute about it! P: YEAH SHIRO ITS WEIRD! H: Aww let him wiggle his ears!!! K: ... >:///c

THE END cuz IDK where else to go with that...

who texts/rings to check how their day is going: if we’re apart, it’s probably lance. i try to remember, but i’m pretty forgetful so i end up forgetting to check up on him.

who’s the most creative when it comes to gifts: i try to be!!! i try to ask my way around lance & the others on what he likes the most, so i combine a couple ideas together and BOOM! gift! enjoy

who gets up first in the morning: probably me, but i stay in bed because lance is Incredibly Warm. so i just usually look at my phone or just. enjoy the warmth.

who cries at movies: to be honest, it’s both of us. we are really emotional people.

who gives unprompted massages: probably lance. my right shoulder often hurts whenever i draw (for some reason. i think it’s just my bad posture.

who fusses over the other when they’re sick: I DO THE MOST!! lance honestly cares for me a lot to fuss over me, but since i have motherly instincts™ i fuss over everyone a lot already, but when someone is sick, i don’t care if they are sick, i am still going to fuss over you!! i dont care if i get sick!! 

who gets jealous easiest: like i keep saying, lance. he’s insecure about our relationship and about himself, so he’s scared i’ll leave him (even though i reassure him everyday i won’t). but he seriously is pretty jealous, and if he is, he’s a lot more affectionate (surprisingly)

who has the most embarrassing taste in music: uh, i think lance would. he probably is into more feminine pop songs and when i find im like!! holy shit!!! this music is poppin’!!! you have such a good taste!! and i go onto ramble about how his taste is great and he just secretly thanks the lord above because i could’ve reacted badly but. nope. good songs!!

who collects something unusual: when we’re still in space, i liked to collect some samples of the dirt or rocks from a planet. but i like to collect nail polish, stress balls and random rocks from places i’ve visited!!

who takes the longest to get ready: lance. i just throw on some clothes, maybe brush my hair and i’m ready. i don’t like taking too long to get ready unless it’s for an important date.

who is the most tidy and organised: i would try to be, but it always ends up in a mess if i’m not careful.

who gets most excited about the holidays: i pretty much only get excited about christmas and my birthday, but lance gets super excited at any holiday, especially halloween or valentines day!!

who is the big spoon/little spoon: im pretty much always the big spoon (unless it’s something bad that happened) because i can’t fall asleep without cuddling something.

who gets most competitive when playing games and/or sports: I AM SUPER COMPETITIVE!! NEVER PLAY ANY VIDEO/BOARD GAMES WITH ME!!! however, when it comes to sports, i feel like lance would be the most competitive. 

who starts the most arguments: unfortunately, i would. i would keep the tempers low because i don’t want it to escalate. the only reason i would start an “argument” is because i’m worried/scared/etc for lance’s health/safety/etc.

who suggests that they buy a pet: me!!!!! i love dogs and we eventually end up adopting daisy, our pitbull mix!! i love her so much and start crying when we first adopt her (remember, adopt dont shop!!

what couple traditions they have: okay, this may sound weird, but i rope him into a game that me and my dad play when we’re out on the road. basically, whenever we see a motorcycle, we call out “poppi/popeye”. it’s a weird tradition that we’ve just had for a while, and i get so incredibly happy when lance (and eventually the other paladins) join in. also, whenever we visit different countries/states we take a picture in the most popular city and hang it on a map of that country. AND!!! whenever we hit a year anniversary, we adopt a dog. :3c

what tv shows they watch together: SUPERNATURAL! i still need to watch that show, but i know me and lance would watch it together. also! i drag lance into watching some documentaries or even “how it’s made” because they’re super cool! also watching aggrestsuko because.. me + lance crying: fucking superb you funky little red panda!!

what other couple they hang out with: hmmmm it’s probably going to be keith + audrey (@your-local-kogane)!! because, c’mon, lance totally wants to show me off and brag about me to keith.

how they spend time together as a couple: cuddling, reading together or watching movies/tv shows together are the first that come to me, but also exploring or taking care of stray animals!!

who made the first move: as in confessing, me. as in kissing, lance.

who brings flowers home: i love flowers tbh, so probably me. because who said you can’t be the one who brings home flowers for your boyf???

who is the best cook: lance. definitely him. the only thing i can cook is those microwavable mac + cheese things and pizza rolls.

Voltron fic recs!

The list that I promised @starlightsoftness, only a day late lol. Gonna go ahead and publish it in case anyone’s interested! All gen.

Don’t Forget to Call Home by isabeau25

Set during season 4. Cute fluffy scenes of Keith keeping in touch with his family while he’s with the Blade. Lots of love for my boy.

I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m fine(it’s not a problem) by AnaliseGrey

A handful of Shiro hurt/comfort scenes, heavy on the comfort.

A grass in the beginning by coyotesuspect

Pidge starts a garden, and as the rest of the team starts spending more time in there she learns to connect with them. Really sweet, and great character development for Pidge.

(Don’t) Stop Running by squirenonny

A bit more plot-heavy: Hunk and Pidge get sucked into the void, and when they come back out things are...bad. There are a couple devastating moments in here, but all in all things turn out okay. I really enjoyed this one.

Who the Fuck Wants to Die Alone by yet_intrepid

Set during Shiro’s year in prison, this is a fic about desperation, loneliness, power, and the loss of it. One of the finest pieces of writing I’ve ever encountered, but also one of the darkest, so be careful.

Collect Call by LittleWhiteTie

Set after season 5. Lance attempts to tell Keith that something is Up with Shiro. He isn’t really sure what do say, but by the end of it Keith’s like yeahhhhhhh I’m coming over. A scene that I’ve been wanting to see for a while, and it’s done very well. The author said they’re working on a sequel, too, which I’m looking forward to.

Parallel by Proxy (series) by VelkynKarma

The series begins after season 4 and branches off from there. All about Shiro’s clone staying on the team and coming into his own as not-Shiro. (The real Shiro is there too, which is wonderful.) VERY well-written. Start at the beginning and see if you like it!

Home is Where the Nonsense Is by yet_intrepid

The Holts are giant fucking dorks. Enough said.

King of Wishful Thinking by BossToaster(ChaoticReactions): Chapter 2: Old Dogs Senior Sanctuary AU

Shiro is a combat veteran with PTSD and a family friend of the Holts. Pidge tries to sneakily get him to adopt a dog. One thing leads to another and he ends up opening a senior dog sanctuary. Oh nooooo, how terrible.

Calls Me On and On by BossToaster(ChaoticReactions)

Something of a character study of Shiro, then and now. Well-written, lots of great moments, and ends on a high note.

Interlude by LittleWhiteTie

Missing scene of Shiro coming back in season 3 and Keith taking care of him. Very sweet and gentle, and it will hurt your heart.

I Hope You Dance by hufflepirate

Do you love Coran? Do you want to love him even more? This is a fic about the paladins learning to dance, and Coran and Allura reminiscing on their dance lessons when she was a very smol princess, and it’s Very Nice.

Promise Me by fandomtrashpanda

Because Momma Holt doesn’t get enough love. She tells Pidge about how she and her dad met, and then helps her hack her way into the Garrison because of course she does.

“Bring them home, Katie,” Colleen said, kissing her daughter’s head, “I know that if anyone can do it, you can.”

#voltron #if you read any of these and want to discuss them hit me up!

Voltron Wing au HCs

+ Lance +

(there will be cussing)

(imma tell u right now man, Even tho peacocks look gay af and i love it, the wing was hell to figure out... I now know things about peafowl that I wished i didn’t know)

He’s a peacock. Simple as that lol no Jk (favorite song ? Peacock by Katy Perry ofc) He used to be a Show Bird before going to the Garrison like a Pageant show but for birds now, He gets a lot of Shit from the kids at Garrison from it but he can tail Bitch-slap them so hard He takes no BS but he still a Flirt. HUGE flirt.

“Oh the World is ending?! Where’s the hot chicks” (GET IT)

He’s gone through A Lot of training for aesthetic purposes like controlling the movement of his “Train” and his wings, Singing classes (cus normal peacocks have really bad voices lol ), and dance classes (Flexible? Very much so). (Does he Twerk? Yeh he does)

“Hey guys Look how far i can bend my legs!” (Cue Sheith nosebleed)

Like how People have many varieties of Race Winged people do too, I HC that Lance’s mom is a Tody (Cuban), His dad is a Peacock (Indian) and his Other Mom (Peacocks are Poly) is a Northern Gannet (Northern Atlantic, Ireland). His family likes to swim a lot. He can swim but only with the help of Water Resistant Spray (Like stain sprays for clothes but now its safe to use to feathers) He’s a good swimmer but not as good as his Sisters who are Gannets. (he’s very protective of his Sisters, He would be the first to give potential boyfriends the shovel talk)

“If you ever hurt my sister, I’ll tear your balls off with my own nails, Feed them to fucking rabies infected Dogs so you can see them tear your Ego piece by piece then I’ll have my friend hack into all your SocMed accounts and post EVERY. SINGLE. Embarrassing photos you have of your tiny miniscule Dick so every other girl after my sister will know how much of a sad excuse of a man you are. anyways, Welcome to the Familia!”

Alteans have a solution for the lack of Water Resistant spray a sort of force field made to encase the feather of Voltron's wings, Like plastic but more sci fi. It just encases the wings in a holo like sparkle and keeps it dry, doesn’t mean they can use it to swim like Gannets can it just means the wings will stay dry and not drown them. The physics of the water still apply meaning the bigger & heavier the wings the slower they travel underwater.

“Sweet! i can finally be a irl Merman with a shiny beautiful au naturale Train for a tail”

The force field is activated by a bracelet they can choose to wear. (Lance wears it everyday)

Lance can groom and preen his tail and wings for HOURS (to make sure not a single feather is out of place) and he likes to do it for other people too (Pidge rarely cleans theirs. He makes the BEST nests, the fluff.

“LET ME CLEAN YOUR WINGS PIDGE!!! LOOK AT THAT GREASE I STFG!!” 

Lance isn’t perfect, like normal peafowl he can Fly just not very high or far he has very little stamina so he gets fatigued easily, He’s good at climbing tho and his feet make little to no noise so stealth missions are his Go to Solos. Don’t worry about his long train, he can keep it up and straight on his back for hours thanks to Show Bird training.

“I feel like I’m just the Seventh Wheel or Ya know, The Eye Candy Mascot Besides Mr.Dilf Shiro and Ultimate Deus Ex Machina Bad boy Keith”

Lance loves to show off his train, but not when he’s play flirting. You can tell if he’s serious or not by the spread of his tail, if he keeps it down he’s just joking with ya but he starts to dance around you with his train up (subconsciously) and beautifully reflecting the light He wants to marry ya and take you to see his mom. and yet. He can fake the train spread.

“ What do you mean my slut is showing  *Pidge points at spread Train* *looks at open train* Point.”

Lance gets easily shocked, and pidge loves to surprise him cus whenever he’s surprised his Train flares up and spreads into a fluffy mess.

#Petty. Very Petty. Turnabout is fair play cue Shock fest and fluffy Owls and Peacocks.

He keeps all his Shedded train feathers is a Huge Box so no one can take them (He’s spent too many hours taking care of them just to give them away god demmit) that’s why when Lance gives someone one of his Train Feathers its super special. He gave one to Pidge (They have 3), Hunk (He has more than 10 cus Hunk is #BestBro and #BestBoy) and Coran ( He has 2 ). (Keith and Shiro got one later on, and lance’s Ego is still a bit tender by all of allura’s rejections but she gets one After he stops being petty)

“This is a part of my eternal beauty, You do not in any circumstance give them to anyone else. This is my sign of my Ever Loyal and AMAZING friendship to you. DO NOT lose it. I love you. You are now part of my ever growing Familia “

Swimtron

Okay so I was at practice today, and a thought popped into my head, voltron but a swim team.

-Allura is the girl's team captain, and main butterflier. She is so graceful and powerful it's inhuman, and all the other teams either hate her or want to be her. 

-Shiro is the boy's team captain, and his specialty is breaststroke. He had to team a break when he lost his arm, but by the time he got back he was still better than everyone at breast because that stroke is impossible okay.

-pidge does backstroke, and is a tiny little for of lighting in the water. Everyone knew her as Katie but now she's Pidge because her favourite swim cap has a pidgeon on it. (My coach calls me jellybean for the same reason)

-Everyone thinks that Hunk would be a breaststroke guy, but no, he's the boy's butterfly and his skill at the hellstroke almost matches Allura's, and she's sure if will by the time he's her age.

-Keith is totally a /freestyle swimmer, but one time he got DQed because he weoponized the lane line when he recognized someone in his heat as for making fun of his brother Shiro's scars.

-Lance is backstroke, and he loves leading their team cheer. And although he's usually phenomenal with flipturns and knowing when to turn, he's not his head on the wall because a cute person walked past him while he was counting his strokes, and again because he was thinking about a really fluffy dog he was on his way to practice.

-Coran is their fantastic coach. He's hard on them, but makes sure they're doing okay, and is always ready to talk. In his day he was national champion, and could have gone Olympic, but decided to focus on raising Allura after her parents died in a car accident.

-the Galra are an opposing team with a bazillion members, the one that wins everything because theirs just so many freaking people.

-Lance ensures that they have one team bonding night per week, everyone secretly loves it.

-Pidge dropped her laptop in the pool once and dove in after it, fully clothed.

-Keith starts major splashfights

-Hunk can throw Pidge almost fifteen yards, and she does a perfect dive into the pool

-Shiro is Swim Dad

-Allura is Swim Mom

-Coran is Uncle Swim

-Drylands are not taken seriously.

-They literally just talk about memes while Coran

-even Shiro

-but during drylands he is only referred to as Larry the Lobster

[savetheblackpaladin]

i love ur blog and i also love pidge (she's literally me we're almost the exact same age i l o v e h e r )can i have some fluffy dating hc of the pidgeon

Welcome to my sin blog lol, time to balance this thing out with fluff!!! 

The pidgeon is the most awkward girl alive my god

when she first saw you pidge.exe stopped working 

she’s stuttering all over the place and keeps adjusting her glasses unnecessarily. once she missed and just smeared a finger on the glass and but was too nervous to clean them so she suffered with the smear until she was alone

later that night she found Lance and just went off about how cute you were and how much she wants to kiss your stupid face

She asked you out like three months later (she suffered every minute) by accidentally screaming, “Please date me!” when you tried to confront her about why she was constantly avoiding you and always acted like talking to you caused her physical pain.

you panicked and just said ok because she’s super cute and you’ve been trying to get to know her better because you have a crush on her

When out and about you two hold hands constantly, but she’s got sweaty hands lol

there’s a lot of wiping them off on her outfit because she is determined. to hold. that hand!

also walks super close to you, like her shoulder is always bumping into yours she’s so close

when you two or older she’ll shift to always keeping a hand in your back pocket or a finger hooked in it if she doesn’t have your hand

You two have a thing going on where one will just ramble on and on about whatever while the other nods along and offers support while not really knowing what the heck they’re talking about

Pidge will talk about science, the beautiful mechanics of Green and the castleship, and other neat-o things like biotechnology that sometimes are just a bit above your head. But hey! You’re a wonderful listener and keep picking up new things

“I just can’t figure out what’s wrong with this stupid panel! Why is it blinking!! AARRRGGghhhhh!!” 

“Weren’t you talking about Ockham’s Razor the other day? What if you just pop the sensors out and plug them back in? Like, maybe they were just misfiring?”

“Y/N, you’re amazing!”

“Naw, I just have an amazing girlfriend who likes to talk a lot.”

Cue the adorable kiss

Pidge also does her best to learn more about your interests because she wants to know everything about you and what makes you happy because honestly? If something makes you happy then it’s worth her time to understand it.

Has the worst sleep schedule so be prepared to have a sleeping Pidge snuggled nice and cozy into your side during slow afternoons

it’s like having a small animal on your lap: you can’t move or else you have no heart. The boys will happily bring you what you need to keep you entertained while Pidge dozes. 

sometimes you snooze with her and you usually end up on your back with Pidge on top, tucked under your chin while her arms are comfortably tucked under your shoulders. someone has put a blanket on you two

once a week you guys have a sleep over and it involves making an epic fort

it’s only once a week because any more than that and Shiro insists on ‘The Talk’ and frankly, that’s just an embarrassing thought. Like thanks for looking out for us Shiro, but please don’t. 

you three have an agreement that should you two last long enough and decide to move your relationship to the next level, Shiro’s the first to know so he can offer advice to his smol children.

also he’s not allowed in the fort because he’s a lame adult. Same for Allura. Coran is allowed. Keith, Hunk, and Lance must bring sacrifices (food) for entry

Quick little shy pecks on the lips! Bc Pidge is an embarrassed smol bean

kiss her on the cheek and she turns so red

forehead kisses are basically ‘Good Job!’ kisses and she loves them

she likes to kiss your cheeks and the tip of your nose because you have a good face!

Punches Lance when he makes fun of you two (i.e. kissy noises when you two walk by)

she must defend your honor

On your birthday she has Hunk help her make a cake for you but she has to do it all herself

space rides! for when the castle seems too boring and stuffy and you two just want to escape

you get a chance to pilot Green and you’re surprised about how she seems to move more with your thoughts than with the controls

Pidge is super proud of you and insists you join Paladin training because she’s pretty sure you’re her second

Protecting each other during combat

Pidge is a bad-ass on her own but with you mixed in you two are a tiny unstoppable force of pure evil team work

also enemies underestimate you two and you use it to your advantage

Sometimes Pidge gets a little snappy and self-absorbed when she’s working on a project and lashes out with unkind words when you bother her too much

she’s fairly selfish but she knows this and being with you makes her want to work on it.

she apologizes after she’s finished and taken a nap and will give you the space you need if you’re still mad at her.

You two do get in small little fights but they’re rarely anything serious. You’re both young teens fighting in an intergalactic war. Sometimes things are tense and it’s easy to take things out on each other

you always make up and just cuddle each other after

You two try to adopt any small creatures you come across

“Pidge, Y/N, what. Is that?” Shiro drags his hand across his face, hiding a very, very pained look.

“What does it look like Shiro? It’s a dog.” You shrug.

“Dogs don’t have three inch spikes down their spines.”

“Don’t talk about Skittles like that!” Pidge whispers, covering ‘Skittle’s’ ears, “He’s very sensitive about them.”

“No. Just, no. Put it back.”

You are the only one Pidge truly vents to

you know about how terrified she is of not being able to find her dad and Matt

you know how she is ready for this war to be over because if it keeps on for too long, statistically? she’s pretty sure she’s going to die. or you will. and she’s not too sure how to handle that.

you know that even though she acts like Lance is a big pain in her ass she loves him like a brother. Hunk, Keith, and Shiro too. They’re her brothers. Coran is her weird space uncle and Allura her weird space sister. she loves her weird space family

you’re the only person who knows how concerned she is for her mom and dog back on Earth

When you vent, Pidge tucks you under her arm and brushes a hand through your hair

Sometimes you guys color coordinate outfits

definitely have matching bracelets that you made for each other

making faces at each other from across a room while trying to avoid being caught

turns out if you wear Pidge’s glasses you can see everything in the distance super clear (she’s near-sighted) so sometimes you wear them when practicing with a long distance weapon

Pidge’s poor heart 

Sharing clothes? Big yes

Canonically, Pidge is a hoarder so every once in a while you make her toss out a box of stuff because seriously, her room is a fire hazard. how does she live in it?

If anyone insults you, they’re in a world of hurt. No one insults Pidge’s boo.

Probably not into cutesy nicknames but if you giver her one she’ll nearly die in embarrassment but she’s so touched

however she will find you and be like, “Hey, you cute loser, what are you up to?” and I’m not sure that counts as a pet-name but alright?

Can I request a prompt where red dies?... And how both shiro and Keith handles it?

Hello! So sorry that this was so late but I still hope you want to read it! So, I give you guys some super fluffy with the last ask with Dr. Keith and now we head straight into pain and angst. You know, this constant game between angst and fluff isn’t all that great for your poor mental states. I love it. Aw, this was so hard to write but thank you for sending in a prompt! I hope you enjoy!

x.V.x

              Keith liked to consider himself as a rational, logical man.

              He often prided himself in seeing the reason or logic in all situations, rather than thinking with too many overpowering emotions and consequentially making the situation worse than it needed to be. He’d gotten better over the years at allowing his emotions to dictate certain situations but he still was quite proud of his ability to see reason and logic to everything that happened.

              Unfortunately, when Keith was emotional he was extremely emotional. Even when he knew to think with a logical sense of mind.

              Which was why Keith should have felt that he should have been better prepared for this situation.

              He knew he should have been prepared. After all, it had been 16 years in the making. Keith had 16 years to prepare for this day. He had 16 years, which was much longer than anyone had anticipated. And yet it still hurt.

              It hurt so bad.

              He should have been prepared. He should have known. He shouldn’t be so emotional. Yet here he was, having destroyed his room in his apartment, with snot dripping out his nose and tears down his face.

              Red was dying.

              And that was one of the top 3 worst news that Keith could have ever received in his life. Keith knew that Red had lived well beyond the years expected of a golden retriever, living a long sixteen years of life. Becoming a major part of six-year-old Keith’s life all through twenty-two-year-old’s Keith’s life.

              But Red was dying and Keith had known the signs, yet he’d never wanted to admit them. Of course, he didn’t see her every day like he used to, especially after moving into Keith’s current apartment with his boyfriend. He and his dad had agreed that Red would be most comfortable staying in his dad’s house for her final years to keep her comfortable. She’d never officially retired from being Keith’s dog and despite her age, she still always got excited when Keith came back home. However, she’d been eating less and less especially in the past six months. Her energy levels had dropped until she only got off her bed or Shiro’s bed to use the bathroom outside. Her hair was graying all around her eyes and snout and she didn’t get up to greet Keith anymore.

              The signs were all there and Shiro and Keith had seen them, but neither of them had bothered to discuss Red’s future. Both were too hesitant to say anything on the matter, afraid of reality. Though, Shiro had started to bring up the subject of Red’s future by mentioning her health in phone calls or commenting on her lack of energy. Keith did his best to avoid this conversation even when he knew he shouldn’t. He knew he should talk to his dad and he knew that he needed to be prepared.

              But he didn’t want to face the fact that his dog – his dog - was going to die.

              That is until his dad had finally called him with grave news. Red had cancer.

              Red had cancer.

              Cancer.

              Cancer.

              Red was dying and this time Keith couldn’t do anything about it. He was a grown adult – twenty-two years of age – and he shouldn’t be as emotional as he was being. Shiro was heartbroken to tell his son the news of Red’s condition and as he heard Keith sniffling on the phone, he wanted to reach over and comfort his son as if he were a little boy again, suffering from nightmares.

              Keith’s boyfriend had offered to drive Keith to his dad’s house after Keith had practically destroyed all the pillows on their bed. It was unnerving how quiet Keith was during the whole car ride there. Luckily, he decided to head to work after dropping Keith off with a soft kiss. Keith responded numbly and slowly approached his dad’s house. This was the house of his childhood, full of love and warm memories. This was the house he grew up in, where his father gave him his dog tags; where he’d broken his arm. This was the house that filled Keith with so much love and hope for his future; where he’d learned of his adoption and of being autistic.

              This would always be Keith’s home and when it was supposed to be filled with hope and warmth, Keith couldn’t help but feel colder than he’d ever been as he stepped up to the front door. His mind was in a frenzy and running too fast for Keith to keep up, meaning that he hadn’t even realized that he had knocked on the front door until Shiro was directly in front of him.

              “Oh Keith,” Shiro whispered softly, pulling his taller son down into a hug. Keith blinked numbly, not able to move his arms and reciprocate the hug. Shiro merely held on tighter as if to make up for that fact. Carefully Shiro led Keith into the house, closing the door behind him. He worryingly bit his lip when Keith didn’t respond much other than responding with a quiet, “Hi.”

              Shiro knew that more often than not, Keith tried to rationalize every situation. He briefly wondered if Keith would do the same with Red, but that was quickly diminished when he remembered how much Keith loved Red. Red was a part of who Keith was and this was going to be a huge blow to Keith’s emotional state.

              For Shiro too.

              Shiro had dogs growing up amongst other pets. Kuro had even had his own pen of bunnies that he “found” when they were kids. Meaning Shiro was, unfortunately, used to the reality of a pet’s short lifespan. He figured that he was probably more prepared than Keith was, when Red was his first and only companion, but that didn’t mean that it still didn’t hurt.

              Red had wormed her way into Shiro’s heart and he would forever be grateful for that fateful encounter with Red, sixteen years ago. His heart was breaking and the pain in his chest was only worsening but he knew that this pain was barely anything compared to Keith’s.

              Red was Keith’s. Not Shiro’s. Not anyone else’s, and this loss would be devastating for his son.

              But Shiro would do whatever he could in order to soften the pain that Keith would feel. He knew that he could never fully take that pain away but he would do everything in his power to help.

              “Where is she?” Keith finally whispered and pulled away from his father. Shiro took no offense to the gesture and led Keith into his bedroom. Red was curled up in her bed, surrounded by pillows, looking much worse than he remembered. Upon seeing Keith enter the room before Shiro, Red didn’t lift her head up to greet her master, but Keith could hear her tail thumping weakly against the ground. Seeing her for the first time in weeks, and seeing her in such a state nearly brought Keith to his knees. He had to force himself to swallow past the lump growing in his throat as he took in the sight of Red.

              She looked bad.

              Her face was graying and her eyes were dull, barely flickering at Keith Her stomach looked even more bloated than usual and Keith almost choked, not wanting to think about what was causing that. Instead, he knelt down in front of Red and ran his hands over her coat. Her tail still thumped against the ground and Keith smiled.

              “Hey, girl.” He finally said and Shiro hung back. “Dad told me you haven’t been eating. I guess it’s getting hard, huh? But you shouldn’t be skipping meals and worrying dad. He’s going to be all gray soon enough because of you.” Keith’s hand shook as he continued to pet Red. Just petting her, he could feel that her breathing was labored and her energy was already spent.

              She was suffering. Was this how she was every day?

              Keith sniffled and bit back his tears.

              “Actually, if I’m going gray it’s because of you.” Shiro joked, causing a brief smile to grace Keith’s face. “Red’s the one who kept me sane every time you got hurt or lost or did something stupid.”

              Keith snorted, continuing to stroke Red’s fur when he heard his dad walking towards them. Slowly, Shiro took a seat beside Keith and he too began to pet Red’s fur. Red’s tail wagged once more before she closed her eyes and sighed happily.

              “Remember the day that you got her?” Shiro finally asked, surprising Keith. Keith felt a fond smile growing on his lips as the memory came to surface. Even after sixteen years that memory was clear as day. “She has so much energy but as soon as she met you, she was already sitting and listening to your every word. It was as if your souls were connected and she was just waiting for you to meet her.”

              “Yeah,” Keith laughed at the memory. “I remember feeling bad that I didn’t want to bring all the other dogs home, but then I met here and I was happy for waiting. She was the one.” Keith could feel a burning behind his eyes, and he quickly ducked away from his father but he continued to pet Red.

              “Remember the time that she got stuck in that rabbit hole?” Shiro said, and Keith’s shoulders shook with silent laughter. Shiro smiled to himself before continuing. “She was so determined to catch that ball for you that she didn’t even see it until she had fallen face first into it.”

              Keith laughed again. “I remember just seeing her poor back legs sticking out of the ground and then crying.”

              “You were pretty distraught. Daddy, Red’s stuck! She’s gonna fall down into Wonderland and never come home!” Shiro recited with a grin and Keith gasped. He looked up to face his dad and playfully shoved his shoulder.

              “Hey, I was like seven and that book was pretty weird!” Keith replied hotly but Shiro only continued to laugh. Keith pouted, momentarily forgetting his tears. “Well, what about the time she had to use the hose on you because you managed to dump a whole can of oil on yourself.”

              “Hey! Accidents happen when you’re working on cars and it was really hard to do it one-handed!” Shiro replied, without a hint of anger or annoyance. Instead, he was beaming at his son.

              “Yeah. That was your own fault for trying that.” Keith rolled his eyes, still grinning.

              “And how was I supposed to know that someone taught her how to use the house?” Shiro pointedly looked at Keith, who pretended to look away and not notice. “I swear she knew it was cold and purposely kept spraying me.” Keith laughed even harder this time, causing Shiro’s heart to flutter. Even Red had opened her eyes to look over at her master.

              “What about the time that she headbutted Blue into the pool by accident?” Keith asked with a smirk and Shiro chuckled.

              “Oh man, Blue was pissed,” Shiro recalled the memory fondly and Keith snickered. “So was Lance. I had never seen someone scold a dog before while cuddling a soaked cat.”

              “He was always so protective of Blue. Especially, after Red knocked a tooth out of his mouth when we were kids.” Keith rolled his eyes. His smile remained and he felt lighter than he had in weeks.

              “I remember that!” Shiro laughed loudly and leaned against Keith. “Didn’t she almost eat it too?”

              “Yeah! Lance screamed and she dropped it thankfully.” Keith replied, leaning against his dad with a smile. The two continued to smile as each of them pet Red, recalling all their memories with Red and realizing what kind of a life she had.

              “She’s in a lot of pain. Isn’t she?” Keith finally asked, smile gone and tears filling his eyes once more. Shiro’s shoulders sagged when the mood turned southward. Of course, he knew that there would still be a somber tone to the mood, but part of him had wished that Keith’s smile could have stayed. He swallowed thickly and knew that he would be unable to lie to his son. It wouldn’t be fair to lie to Keith; not with something like Red.

              “Yes. The vet’s surprised she can even move.”

              “This really is it? Isn’t it?” Keith croaked, sounding much younger and much more scared than before. Both of his hands were gripping Red’s fur in a gentle fist but his entire body was trembling. “I have to let her go? Don’t I?”

              Shiro couldn’t answer. Not without crying.

              “I knew it was coming up. God, I mean, we were lucky to have gotten so much time with her. So I should be ready for this. I should have prepared.” Keith whispered hoarsely. Shiro knew that if he spoke, he was going to start crying again. However, his son needed to be comforted right now and his own emotions were nothing compared to Keith.

              Quietly, Shiro pulled Keith into a hug and Keith buried his face into his dad’s chest. The scene was all too familiar and it was almost as if Keith were four-years-old again after a nightmare, and Shiro was twenty-nine.

              “I have to let her go. She’s suffering dad. She’s in so much pain and I’m keeping her in pain.” Keith cried, tears finally falling down her face. “I’m being selfish and I have to let her go. I should let her go! But I don’t want to let her go!”

              “Oh sweetheart,” Shiro said softly. It had been years since he had last called Keith any sort of nickname. “I know. I know. I don’t either and it’s okay to be upset and want her to stay. If I could take away her pain and keep her here forever for you, you know I would. But you’re right. We should let her go. That doesn’t mean she’ll be gone forever.”

              Keith cried even harder into Shiro and Shiro tightened his arms around Keith.

              “She’ll never be gone from our hearts or our memories. We’ll always be able to smile and laugh about how much she changed our lives – changed yours for the better. She’ll always be watching over you and you know, maybe one day you’ll see her again.”

              “I don’t want her to leave. I don’t want her to go.” Keith whispered brokenly and Shiro rubbed a hand up and down her back.

              “I know. Me too, sweetheart, me too.” Shiro murmured. “But like you said, you know she has to. It’s not fair if we continue to let her suffer anymore. I know it’s not fair that she’s leaving us and I wish – goddamn how I wish – that she could stay forever, but we can’t. We can just keep her company and help her in her final moments to make her as happy as she’s made up.”

              Keith sniffled and was silent for a few more moments before nodding. “She deserves only the best, after everything she’s done for me.” With that, Shiro and Keith waited at Red’s side and were with her until her final moments.

              Red died on Monday, September 8 at 4:01 in the morning with her masters and her best friends, Shiro and Keith, at her side.

              Keith had her cremated and kept her ashes in a tin can, with a clay mold of her paw print and a teeny handprint that was Keith’s when he was a child. Inside the paw print was a picture taken of Red, a few months ago when she could still walk around, laying in Keith’s arms upside down and tongue out. Both Keith and Red wore identical smiles, and Shiro had been the one to take the photo.

              Keith smiled, fingers tracing the photo before he added an old, worn-down dog tag to the pile.

              Red Shirogane.

              The only girl who could ever have stolen Keith’s heart.

Weekly Voltron Fic Recs #36

Rules: You can find past weekly rec lists here, and non-list recs in my general fic rec tag. Also follow @maychorianrecs for individually tagged posts, the easier to search and reblog. This is stuff I like, and I have a huge bias toward Lance, hurt/comfort, and general fluff, in that order. Gen unless otherwise noted. Please comment on the fics if you read and enjoy them!

The Hunter from the Hill by valkyriered Words: 5,741 (3/?) Author’s Summary: Post-series, the Holts welcome Shiro into their home. A series of ficlets crossposted from tumblr. Not necessarily in chronological order– posted in the order they were written. My Comments: Warning for heavy angst, depression, PTSD, and various anxiety responses to trauma. This is realistic and very well-written, but mind the tags. I love the idea of the Holts taking in Shiro post-series and caring for him, but everyone is having a very rough time. The fic is technically complete, as each chapter is its own story, but the author is leaving it open to add more in the future. I adore these aftermath stories. Exactly the kind of stuff I want to read.

Space Hell by firesfly Words: 5,008 Author’s Summary: “I wonder if there’s such thing as space-hell,” Lance mused. “Like, the higher you go into space, the closer you are to hell.“ or. The paladins find Space Hell and it’s just as bad as it sounds. My Comments: Really interesting episode-like fic with the paladins fighting a horrible environment, plus some monsters. It’s up to Keith to save them all, and it’s a rough road.

Cookies, candles and some care by SerenePhenix Words: 3,603 Author’s Summary: It had to come full circle. That was the way things worked. That’s what made the world go round. Shiro’s just glad that Lance is there to help. -OR: After Lance it’s now everybody else’s turn to get the sniffles. My Comments: A follow-up to that modern AU sickfic where deathly ill pizza boy Lance stumbles onto the other paladins, who instantly take him under their wing. This time everyone else is sick and Lance is the best nurse ever. So sweet.

Dear Little One by SunshineAndRainbows Words: 3,986 (2/3) Author’s Summary: The paladins hadn’t been expecting to find the baby. Allura hadn’t been expecting their reaction to it. My Comments: The paladins with kids or babies is always adorable, and this one is particularly so. Very interesting worldbuilding here, too, more plot-oriented than most kidfics. I’m interested to see how it will shake out.

Perdu by SerenePhenix Words: 7,130 (1/3) Author’s Summary: He did everything they’d asked of him. He had fought a war that had not been his to begin with because it was the right thing to do, because at the end of it all stood the promise of returning to his family. He was done. He wanted home. What he did not expect was for a man obviously just as lonely as him to join him on the journey. A man willing to listen, willing to understand.So many possible realities and so many ways that it could go wrong. Or maybe just right. My Comments: Really interesting fic with Lance leaving Team Voltron after Shiro’s loss makes them all a little crazy, then running into Lotor and traveling with him without realizing that they’re supposed to be enemies. I’m not sure what’s coming next, and I am both nervous and excited. Really well done and heartachey.

Black by Any Other Color by mckinlily Words: 4,430 Author’s Summary: Team Voltron is in shambles.

My Comments: I love Hunk as the heart of the team, chasing down hurting teammates and doing his best to bring them in and show them some love. Keith desperately needs support here. They all do.

Takashi Shirogane Takes the World by EdgarAllenPoet Words: 4,384 (2/?) Author’s Summary: Shiro has seen more foster homes than he has years on Earth, but he’s certain that this one is the last. He’s fiesty, angry, and thinks he can handle anything. That’s until he meets his new foster parents, with their never ending patience and understanding; his foster brother, with his bizarre habits; and the ghost of a boy who lives in his room, who turns into his best friend. He’s not ready for anything, but especially not a new family. My Comments: Family AU in which the Holts take in Shiro and Keith, based The Great Gilly Hopkins. I haven’t seen or read that one, but already this AU is tugging at my heartstrings and making me eager for more. Great stuff, very well-written.

Allura and the Paladins by rebornlover Words: 3,096 Author’s Summary: The Paladins learn abit more about their commander and Hunk holds an Altean celebration My Comments: Really sweet fic with Hunk and Lance making an effort to understand Allura better, and then attempting to ease her and Coran’s grief for the loss of their civilization.

My Comments: Warning for implications of past child abuse. This is heartbreaking, but so well done. I loved the way everyone got a moment to interact with Keith while he was in a fear-driven state and try to help, even if it wasn’t quite successful in the end. They all just care so much.

Hufflepirate writes very powerfully in a very small space. I think my favorite was the Coran one, but they’re all amazing.

Seventh Wheeling by Swump (Zelan) Words: 952 Author’s Summary:  So I see lots of fics where Lance refers to himself as a seventh wheel and I’m actually getting a bit tired of the phrase. So of course what better to do than write a prompt entirely centered around it.

Klance is included, but the focus is on the team.

Accidents Happen by Swump (Zelan) Words: 3,198 Author’s Summary: don’t go on tumblr too much or you’ll write i&i fic for a show you’ve never seen Real Summary: Keith gets something in his eye and then he gets something worse in his eye.

Treat by Eastofthemoon Words: 1,690 Author’s Summary: Keith takes Shiro grocery shopping. My Comments: This is from a really cute AU where pre-teen Keith ends up on the run through the universe with Shiro and the red lion. This installment is adorable, as usual.

It’s About You (it always has been) by Yellowtaffeta Words: 11,562 Author’s Summary: For thousands of turns the Prides have defended ARUS from the baleful eye of the dark star. It is now the ninth pass and the lion men have dwindled. Only Pride Garrison is left to face the coming sweep of the rouge planet. Not that anyone thinks the dark star more than a legend after such a long interval. But the Galra are coming. It is up to four newly impressed rookies and a Paladin with the wrong lion to face the coming disaster. Lions must fly when there’s Galra in the sky! My Comments: I’ve never read the series this AU is based on, but now I want to. The author does a good job of giving enough worldbuilding for the story to make sense, even while just throwing us straight into the middle of an extremely crazy and chaotic sceen. All of the paladins and their lions are very intriguing, and their interactions are well done. This feels like the start of a very epic adventure, and I would happily read more. The fic could definitely use a beta, though.

Quit Playing Games by BossToaster (ChaoticReactions) Words: 3,116 Author’s Summary: Lance makes a deck of Uno cards. It goes as well as expected. For Platonic Week 2.0 My Comments: This is one of the funniest fics I’ve read in the long time. The chaos and petty revenge of a Uno game is out in full force. It’s great to see the kids just having a good time together, for a certain value of good.

The Field of Blood by Genesister (papirini) Words: 4,607 (1/?) Author’s Summary: Takashi Shirogane is about to go on a journey to find himself. A journey where, supported by his friends, he learns a secret so shocking that it could potentially decide the fate of the universe - and, along the way, he comes to understand what it means to be a leader. What it means to be himself. Well. Provided the experience doesn’t kill him first. Or worse. The final part of the Helvicta Blues. My Comments: I’ve already recced the other stories in this series, but I would be remiss not to inform you of this one, too. The start is already so INTENSE, with all of the paladins captured by the Galra, under threat of death and torture, and then that first cliffhangar, hoo boy. I do recommend reading the other stories first, but this is so so good.

Bonding with the Princess by TheForeverGirl Words: 6,201 (3/?) Author’s Summary: Allura feels that she doesn’t know the Paladins as well as she should. Her solution? She bonds with each of the paladins My Comments: This fic could use a beta, but it’s really cute to see Allura deliberately taking the time to get to know her paladins one-on-one. Great characterization and lovely chats for each so far.

[chocmarss]

I just….like the idea of older sheith, like, way older when they’re probably in their 60’s, going on 70’s and both of them live in a house where they have numerous large dogs and prissy cats because Keith loves his little felines so much -“Keith, Mac and Cheese are sleeping on Eggsy again” “He’s fluffy let them be”- and Shiro’s this dude who probably saves drawings of him and his team from his little fans from all over the world inside albums because he has a lot and loves going through them when they don’t have to plant their garden during spring

And, and Keith has young and eager Galrans or half-Galrans who would always want to have a talk with him because he used to be the red paladin who had been inside a weblum and was the best pilot he’s awesome and Keith just, loves talking to them too but the grump he is, he tries not to be too obvious but they know, they know he’s just messing with them when they could see him smiling fondly at them

(Shiro teases him about it, Keith shoots back by saying he’s old let him have this)

Oh, they have children.

Four, to be exact. One Galran who took over Shiro’s place as the Leader of the New Age that helps puts the universe back together, another Galra who becomes part of the Force too and she’s much fiercer than her brother that Shiro used to prevent her from biting her brother when she’s still teething.

(Draco still isn’t impressed everytime it’s brought up, Astoria shrugs and tells him she could still beat him in anything)

When Shiro and Keith went back to earth for, they’ve adopted twins, two girls who have jet black hair and lovely brown eyes that some people would’ve say they’re identical. But they can be told apart by the little birthmark that’s the shape of a fox’s head located on their hands; one has it one her right while the other has it on her left.

Keith puts up the family photos on the wall of their Earth House, and when his son and daughter comes to visit, they coo at the sight of their tiny new sisters.

(thank god to Shiro’s ability to think far ahead, the two Galra doesn’t need to duck their heads when they visit as they get older, lest they’ll bumped their heads into the door frame)

Sometimes, Mei and Kim visits their siblings up there in their Space House and they’ll tell how their parents are doing if Shiro and Keith get too tired to travel, and how it’s going okay with both of them

(“oh, Papa’s riling up Dad again, I think he’s bored” “yeah, one time Dad almost threw his sponge at Pa because he couldn’t stop poking him when he’s doing dishes” “they have a dishwasher why would they wash by hands” “because they’re sentimental like that Draco you idiot”)

Also……grandchildren

I just, Astoria having a video chat with her dads when suddenly she goes all fidgety and of course, both of them notice and immediately went all suspicious that she blurts out she’s having babies that they just

Stare at her. Keith almost choked on his coffee and “Dad please don’t die yet” Shiro is crying and demanding that he’s going to visit them up there or so help him

Just………domestic sheith y'all

#also if you guys read my baby fics you'll see that i used two of their names lmao #like yes i've grown attached to them #sheith #voltron #vld #mine #marswrites

Kids & Cats chapter 2

Read on FF.net, AO3, or under the cut!

Voltron single dad AU

Shiro has his doubts when his youngest son begs him to take home a stray cat. However, a stray cat always finds its home, leading the Shirogane family to her owner.

Chapter 2 of 2 Complete 2194 words Family, humor

Dinner that evening took much longer than usual, but it was a welcome change. As it turns out, Coran is a very good cook and Shiro was more than happy to watch the kids munch away at something infinitely better than he felt he could put together himself. It was nice, though, not having to do everything by himself for once and getting to make conversation with grownups other than the boys’ teachers.

He learned that Allura was well on her way to become a successful business woman, speaking more languages than he could count on his hand and was familiar with etiquettes from all around the world. He also learned that Allura had been living with Coran since she was very young, but the sad look on her uncle’s face stopped him from pushing any further.

“So, what’s up with your cats anyway? Why don’t you just keep them inside?” Keith asked, looking up at Allura from his seat next to her.

“Well, how would you feel if your dad kept you inside at all times in fear of you getting lost?”

“Dad did that to Lance for a week once after he wandered off at the mall.”

“Yeah, that sucked!” Lance interjected, quickly followed by a stern ‘Lance.’ from Shiro.

“Only Blackie is a real inside cat.” She said with a smile on her face, shoving her chair away from the table to reveal a large, fat, black cat lounging under the table, meowing quietly as she nudged it with her foot. “She really hates going outside. Every time we go to the vet is an absolute nightmare.”

“Wait, hold up, aside from Blue and Blackie, how many cats do you have?” Shiro asked, shocked by the sheer amount of cats could be wandering around the house at maximum.

“Well, there’s Blue and Blackie, Verde, Red and Goldilocks.”

“You’ve got five kitties?!” Pidge piped up, looking at Allura with large, sparkling eyes. Allura could only chuckle and pat her head.

“Exactly. You already know Blue, she is very friendly and likes to meet new people. Verde is very smart and she loves nature. She’s been getting into trouble with Mr. Sendak for digging up his flower beds. Goldilocks is usually the gentle giant to Red’s arrogant loose cannon and, well, that leaves Blackie. She doesn’t have to step in much, but she’s usually the unifying factor in this band of misfits. If I’m completely honest, they remind me of the five of you. One wouldn’t expect them to work so well together, but they do.”

“Like us!” Pidge giggled.

Lance’s eyes suddenly lit up like a Christmas tree. “So you have a lot of cats, right?”

“Uh, right. That’s what I was talking about just now.”

“And there’s only two here, right?” he kept asking, starting to go somewhere.

“Exactly.” Allura nodded.

“Then we should go on an adventure! We could split up in groups and go look for the big, wild lions that escaped from the mothership!” Lance narrated, making big gestures as he always did. “By the way, I call dibs on Hunk.”

“Dibs on Shiro!” Pidge shouted, grabbing his hand.

“Whoa, back up there, young man. You and Hunk are not going outside at this time without someone to look after you.” Shiro intervened. Lance always came up with these wild ideas, getting everyone excited, but in the end Shiro was only one man and he could only be in one place. He turned around when he felt a hand on his shoulder.

“Your son has such a wild imagination, it would be a shame to see that go to waste. I’ll go with them, then you can go outside with your little girl.” Coran said enthusiastically.

“Um, thank you, but she’s not my—”

“What about me?” Came a small voice from behind Shiro. Keith was the only one who hadn’t been picked yet.

“Oh, I have an idea!” Coran crouched down to his level. “You could go with the princess when she finishes doing the dishes.”

“Coran, it was your turn—”

“Sorry, I can’t hear you over the responsibility of guiding these young paladins on their first intergalactic mission!”

---

The park was quiet and almost empty when Shiro wandered around, firmly holding on to Pidge’s hand. It had been about an hour since they left Allura’s place. On multiple occasions Shiro had done the suggestion to go home, but on each of those occasions the little girl shot them down. She was more than determined to bring this cat home. The sky was starting to turn orange, and he was about to suggest going home again when he felt a sharp elbow nudging his thigh.

“Shiro, did you hear that?” Pidge whispered loudly and Shiro shook his head. “Listen harder!” She hissed again and Shiro closed his eyes. If he focused really hard, he could hear the sound of a meowing cat, coming from a bush only thirty feet away from them.

Shiro ran over and moved the leaves aside, revealing a small cat with a bright green collar. “She’s here!” He said, calling over his small companion. “The branches are too tightly wound together. There’s no way I can reach her.”

“That’s what you’ve got me for!” Pidge piped up and she crawled on the dirt, into the bush and safely extracted the cat.

“Your mom is going to kill us both when I drop you off.”

“Uh, Lance? I’m not sure breaking in to a construction site would be a good idea.” Hunk said, nervously watching his youngest brother climbing over the fence.

“Exactly! We can just wait for her to come out!” Coran added.

Lance scoffed, “Why did I pick you bunch of weenies for this... There’s nobody here! Coran, you keep watch. Hunk, come with me.”

With a deep sigh, Hunk hooked his fingers into the mesh of the fence, kicked his feet between the wires and slowly and carefully scaled the fence, whereas Lance let himself drop to the ground halfway down.

The boys wandered around the construction site for a solid ten minutes before finding goldilocks in a tight corner behind the construction workers’ break room.

They heard barking. Two large Rottweilers came sprinting at them. Lance thought quickly and pushed Hunk into the narrow space behind the break room while bolting away himself, catching the attention of the dogs and keeping them away from his big brother.

“Meet me at the fence!” the youngest shouted, outrunning the guard dogs for now.

Hunk sighed, carefully lifting the heavy materials and putting them away, making enough space for him to squeeze between and carefully pick up the fluffy cat. He quickly made his way back to the fence, keeping his eyes trained on Lance and the guard dogs. He lifted the cat up to his shoulder and scaled the fence, handing Goldilocks to Coran before sitting down on the edge of the fence more balanced and leaning down, grabbing Lance by his collar and pulling him up, helping him climb more quickly.

When their feet touched the ground on Coran’s side of the fence, the boys leaned against it, exhausted, breathing heavily. Coran would have scolded them, but from the looks on their faces he could see the boys had already learned their lesson.

Keith stared up at the red cat halfway up the tree in Mr. Sendak’s back yard. The cat was staring back at him, with a smug look on her face. Keith was on his own now. Everyone was still out looking for the other cats and Allura was inside, doing the dishes.

He took a few steps back and ran at the wooden fence, giving him just enough momentum to successfully climb up. He quickly found his balance, standing on the thin beams. He took a few deep breaths before jumping up, grabbing the first branch and pulling himself onto it. From there, he slowly advanced towards the cat that was still staring at him, watching intently.

“Seriously, what do you want from me?” Keith asked, finally climbing onto the branch the cat was sitting on, slowly crawling towards her. “I’m a friend of your mom’s. You could be a little nicer. Just come closer.” When he reached for the cat she quickly jumped down to another branch. “Oh come on!”

Suddenly there was a loud cracking sound behind him. He didn’t notice he had bent the branch as much as he did, it was only a matter of time until it snapped.

Everything was black for a hot minute. His nerves exploded with pain, there was a loud ringing in his ears and… licking? On his face? With a groan, Keith sat up and opened his eyes to find the red cat sitting next to him, looking up at him. Less smugly, this time. Keith pulled the cat into his chest with a smile, lying back down until Shiro and Allura came running outside.

“Good kitty.”

---

“Keith? Keith!” Allura called for him running out of the house, finding the unmoving boy lying on the lawn. She knelt down by him, unsure whether or not to move him. Shiro was hot on her heels, crouching beside her. He reached out to check him over, but Red started hissing at him and batted his hand away as soon as he so much as pointed at Keith.

The sound must have woke him up. He opened his eyes to the blurry sight of Shiro and Allura leaning over him. As his world slowly became more in focus he could see the concern in their eyes and on their faces and oh no. Those were tears in their eyes. He is in so much trouble right now.

“It’s… It’s not as bad as it looks.” Keith managed to croak. “Look, Red listened to me.”

“I don’t care!” Shiro shouted, his voice cracking as the tears spilled from his eyes, rolling down his cheeks and dripping onto Keith’s surprised face. He’d never meant to make his dad this sad. “Do you have any idea how dangerous that was?! You could have broken an arm, a leg, your back, every bone in your entire body! You could have--”

“What your father is trying to say,” Allura cut him off before his mind and his mouth could wander to more unpleasant scenarios. “is that what you did was very reckless and we want you to not do it again.”

“Ever. Understood?”

“Yeah.” Keith groaned, only groaning louder when Shiro gently picked him up and carried him inside.

He hissed when Coran disinfected the cuts and scratches while Allura gently placed band aids on the cleaned wounds and Shiro gently stroked his still throbbing head while they waited for the aspirin to kick in.

Red was sitting right beside him, still not liking the look of other people touching him, but she seemed to understand it was for his own good.

“Well,”Allura smiled, “at least we finally found someone Red will listen to.”

Keith couldn’t help but grin triumphantly.

---

SAllura was surprised when the man with the white hair bowed to her.

“I’m so sorry about tonight. I know the kids can be a handful, but I’m grateful you made the time to help me out with them. I promise, we won’t trouble you again.”

“Please, there’s no reason to bow, Mr. Shirogane.” Allura smiled as she gently pulled him back in an upright position. “I had a lot of fun tonight. You know… if you’d like, you could come over more often. The children could play in the yard and Coran and I could take some of the workload off your back.”

With the way she was looking at him and the offer she was making, Shiro couldn’t help but stare at her. “I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can—”, he started before Hunk spoke up.

“We’ll gladly take your offer on behalf of our dad. He deserves friends like you and Coran to help him.” With that, Hunk turned to his father as if to scold him. “Dad, we love you and we respect you, but we also know you’re only human. Taking care of the four of us takes a lot out of you. So please, for once in your life, don’t be stubborn about being polite all the time and turning down any offer you get and just say yes.”

Shiro looked around, all of his sons, Katie and Allura were all looking at him expectantly. He knew Hunk was right. He knew doing everything by himself was exhausting him. He knew that when something was wrong with him, Hunk was always the one to make sure everything turned out okay.

And so, for the good of his children and himself, he took a deep breath and he said “Yes. I’d love that, thank you. And please, call me Shiro.”

Roar

Lance met them while surfing just off the coast of Cuba. Hunk met him while helping out at his mothers' restaurant. Pidge met her while solving puzzles with her brother. Shiro met him after leading his soccer team to victory. Keith... Well, Keith had always known her.

Which is why he was completely unsurprised to find out the cats were more than they seemed.

Part 1: Looking For Mew

High above the skies of earth, far into the stars that surrounded it, an empire celebrated as they conquered yet another planet. Meanwhile, deep in a cave on earth, hidden away in one of the planet’s deserts, four pairs of eyes opened. The yellow orbs met one another, then their owners darted off in different directions.

A short ways off the coast of Cuba, an eight-year-old boy laughed as he watched his cousin fall off her surfboard. He teased the girl before turning to catch his own wave.

He promptly jumped and toppled off his board.

“What the-” he sputtered as he breached the surface. The threw his arms over the board to help him stay up and stared at the cat perched on the nose. He looked around. “How… Where did you come from?”

As if to answer his question, the cat lifted its paw and licked a bit of water off its fur.

“¿Estás bien, primo?” the boy’s cousin asked as she paddled up to him. Her eyes widened when she saw the cat. “¡Es un gatito! Where from?”

“No lo sé. It just showed up.” He pulled himself back up and onto his board.

The cat’s tail twitched, but otherwise it didn't react as its perch rocked and dipped. With his new position, the boy could see that the animal was almost pure white except for the blue-black patches on the top of its head and tail.

It's golden eyes met his own and he found himself reaching towards it.

“¡Podría ser peligroso! ¡Ten cuidado, Lance!” his cousin warned, grabbing his arm.

Lance frowned, but when he looked back at the cat, he felt a warmth blossom through him. “No, it's fine.” He reached out his other hand and cupped the cat’s face. It immediately purred and nuzzled the hand. “See.”

His cousin was still frowning, but she let him go and pulled away.

Lance’s eyes darted up as he saw a wave coming towards them. “Well, I hope you can surf, Blue,” he chuckled as he began paddling.

When the two returned to Lance’s aunt’s house after surfing, he was carrying a sleeping Blue in his arms as his cousin carried the boards. She had done pretty well, though there might have been a few extra scratches on the nose.

“Mama, look!” Lance shouted, catching the attention of both the two women on the porch and the small herd of children in the yard.

Shouts of “Gatito” and “Kitty” sounded out as Lance’s younger siblings and cousins raced over. Blue was awake instantly, hopping down to bask in the children's attention. As Lance made sure the younger kids didn't pull on her fur, his older cousin went over to explain to the women.

“Can we keep her, Mama?” Lance asked and his mother and her cousin soon found themselves surrounded by puppy dog eyes.

The end of summer found Lance sitting on the porch, watching as his father packed their luggage into the car. He stroked Blue’s ears and sniffled. “Sorry you can't come with us, Blue. Mama said it'd be too difficult getting you into the States.”

“Mew.”

Lance pulled a blue scarf out of his pocket and tied it around her neck. “Sonia will take good care of you though, and I'll see you next summer, okay!”

“Mew.”

“Lance, time to go!”

Lance pressed a kiss to the top of the cat’s head. “Bye Blue.”

He ran off quickly, scrubbing at the tears on his cheeks.

A week later, the nine-year-old froze only a step into his backyard as he caught sight of a white and blue-black cat wearing a blue scarf sitting next to their pond, swatting casually at the fish inside.

“Blue?”

The cat’s ear twitched and she looked up at him.

Lance squealed and ran over to flop down next to her.

“Lance, what’s wrong?” his mother asked, peeking out of the house. Her eyes widened when Lance held up Blue.

“Mama, look who showed up!”

Honestly, considering his past, Lance wasn't as surprised as most would have been to open up his suitcase to find his cat napping amongst his clothes when she should have been thousands of miles away at home.

“Blue!” the fourteen-year-old groaned.

His eyes widened as he heard the door to his Garrison barrack opening and quickly dropped the lid to his suitcase and spun around.

“Hissss!”

At the sound of distress, the nine-year-old boy who had been carrying out the trash paused and looked around. He walked around the corner to see a pair of dogs growling at a crate. The boy could just see a pair of golden eyes peeking through the slats.

“Mewl.”

“Hey, leave them alone!” the boy shouted, waving the trash bag at the dogs. The bag clipped one of them on the snout when they turned to him and they took off.

He set down the bag and knelt down next to the crate. “Hey there, it's okay. You're safe now.” He lifted up the crate a little and peeked underneath. It was silent for a moment then a nose poked out.

The boy pulled back as the crate tipped over and a large cat shuffled forward. It shook the dust off its cream and gold fur and met his eyes.

“Hunk? Where are you?”

“Over here, mom,” Hunk called out, scratching the cat under its chin. He stood up and grabbed the bag. “You wanna come with me?”

The cat stepped forward and nuzzled his leg.

“Alright. Mom’s been wanting a cat. I bet she’ll love you.”

“Sh, Pua, hold still,” Hunk whispered. The fourteen-year-old sighed in relief when he finally reached his barrack. He pulled open the door, then froze when he spotted a Latino boy standing next to one of the two beds in the room.

“H-hey, roommate!” the Latino stuttered.

“Roommate? I thought we got separate rooms,” Hunk whimpered.

“No, you needed to put in a request for those rooms.”

Oh man, I messed up! I'm going to get kicked out before classes even start! Hunk thought. He scrambled for something to say, some way to get out of the situation.

“Um, are you okay, dude?” the other boy asked and Hunk realized Pua had begun squirming again. He could only imagine how weird that would look for the other boy.

“Purr.”

Hunk blushed as he felt something fluffy pop up through his collar and nuzzle his chin.

The Latino’s eyes widened, but before he could say anything a shuffling noise sounded behind him and a face poked around his hip.

“Mur.”

Hunk’s grip loosened in his surprise and Pua squirmed free enough to drop out the front of his shirt. He quickly slammed the door shut as his cat jumped up onto the other boy's bed.

The boys watched in stunned silence as the cats greeted each other.

“So… you snuck your cat in too?”

“More like he snuck himself in. He somehow got into my luggage.”

“Oh… Name’s Hunk.”

“Lance.”

A moment passed.

“I won't tell if you don't.”

“Deal.”

A seven-year-old girl giggled as she played with one of her brother’s puzzle games.

“How are you doing that, Katie?” her brother chuckled, the fifteen-year-old no longer stunned by his sister’s genius.

The girl just continued to laugh as she handed over the completed puzzle. “Again!”

“Okay, but don’t think I'll go easy on you!” he said, rearranging it and being sure to make it harder this time around.

Katie laughed at her brother, but paused when she felt something staring at her. She turned and spotted golden eyes hiding amongst the leaves of their tree. She peeked over at her brother, who was focused on the puzzle, then stood up and ran over to the tree. Slowly, she started climbing up.

“Katie? Oh my gosh! Katie, get down from there!”

The girl pushed past a group of branches and gasped when she caught sight of the eyes’ owner. She moved to get closer, but a hand wrapped around her ankle.

“Maaaatt! Let me gooooo!”

“Katie, stop. You could get hurt. Come down.”

“But there's a cat up here!”

“If there's a strange animal up there then that just means you need to get away even more.”

“It's not a strange animal. It's a cat!”

“If you don't know the cat, then that makes it a strange animal. And you don't know any cats!”

“But…” Katie looked up at the cat.

It stared down at her for a moment before standing. Gracefully, it bounded from branch to branch until it collided with the girl’s chest.

“Woah,” she huffed at she lost her balance and fell into her brother's waiting arms.

“Katie, are you okay?” Matt asked, but the girl just laughed and pet the cat in her arms. It was a shiny silver color with just the faintest tinge of green mixed into the darker coloration on its back.

“I'm naming you… Chip.”

“Ka-Katie! Don't name it!”

“We’re keeping her!” Katie hissed, glaring at her brother. “And her name is Chip.”

“I…” Matt sighed. “Whatever. Mom and dad can deal with you.”

“Dad. Matt.”

Chip purred, nuzzling her fourteen-year-old friend.

Katie -- no, not Katie, Pidge -- smiled down at the cat and scratched behind her ears. “Don't worry, we’ll find them.”

“Mrow.”

“Yeah, together. Since you somehow managed to sneak into my barrack,” she chuckled, turning back to her gear. “You're lucky I don't have a roommate.” When she didn't get a response, Pidge turned to see Chip’s tail disappearing into her pack.

Shrugging, the girl pulled her headphones back on and closed her eyes. She let herself get so focused on the sounds of alien chatter, she almost didn't notice when someone pulled one of the ear pads away from her ear.

“You come up here to rock out?”

“Bye, Shiro!”

“See you next weekend!”

“Yeah, see you, space man! We’re gonna kick those spoiled Jays butts!”

Shiro laughed and waved as his friends and teammates drove off.

I'm going to miss this, the seventeen-year-old thought as he adjusted the strap of his soccer bag on his shoulder and turned to head up the path to his house. Next year I'll be an official cadet. Won't have any time for summer soccer tournaments then. And then there’s Angel…

“Meow.”

Shiro turned at the sound to see a large cat perched on the short wall bordering the yard, it's silver fur and golden eyes seeming to glow in the moonlight as a sharp contrast to the pitch black stripes swirling across its body.

“Hey, you're the cat from the soccer field, aren't you?” the boy asked. Tonight had been the first time since the start of summer that Shiro hadn't spotted the cat lounging around near the field, watching the players. “What are you doing here?”

The cat didn't so much as twitch.

“Okay.” He turned back to his house again, but paused at a chirp.

He looked over to see the cat hopping down from the wall. It pranced over and wound itself around his legs.

“Well, hello to you too,” Shiro chuckled. He reached down to pet the cat.

It purred and nuzzled him for a moment before darting off into the bushes.

“Um… Bye?”

Shiro stretched as he stepped off the Garrison shuttle. He quickly got out of the way of the others exiting and headed over to grab his luggage.

“Mo-ow.”

Shiro chuckled and looked up to see Ryou lying atop the Garrison’s outer wall. “Hey, I see you made it here alright.”

The cat met his eyes for a second then turned and disappeared over the other side of the wall.

Shaking his head, he grabbed his bags. He wasn't at all surprised by Ryou’s behavior. Although he usually saw the cat at least once every other day, more often than not he only appeared long enough to check up on him or mess with Merla. His friends liked to tease that Ryou was “a mother cat checking up on her kitten.”

The twenty-three-year-old shouldered his bags and headed inside. After dropping off his luggage, he left towards the academy barracks.

Time to see how Keith's settling in.

Shiro tracked down the boy’s room -- a private barrack, he noted with a sigh -- and knocked on the partially open door.

“Am I interrupting something?”

“Mew.”

Shiro looked up at the noise and chuckled. “You know Ryou, one of these days I’m going to figure out how you sneak in here.

Giving a soft sad noise, the cat hopped up into his lap and slumped down.

“Hey, what’s wrong?”

He repeated the noise and nuzzled his leg.

“Aw, did you hear about the trip? Don’t worry, I won’t be gone long.”

The cat looked up at him with sad yellow eyes.

“You’ll see, I’ll be back from Kerberos before you know it.”

Slumping down again, Ryou dug his claws lightly into Shiro’s pants.

Keith sighed as he rested on the top of the shack. “Do you think Shiro’d be disappointed in me? I mean, he wasted all that time on me, and then I went and tossed everything away the moment he died. And now I’m running around the desert like a nutjob with a pair of cats as my only means of socialization.”

Ryou purred and nuzzled the fifteen-year-old’s hand.

“Thanks, though considering you’re part of the problem that really isn’t helpful.”

Crazy.

Merla gave a yawn and turned over in her sleep. Ryou hissed at her.

Suddenly, both cats jerked up into sitting positions, ears twitching and alert.

“What’s wrong?” Keith asked, sitting up.

The two turned, looking up in the sky and Keith followed their gaze. Something was heading towards the ground, too high to be a plane, too large to be an ordinary meteor.

“Showtime,” Keith said and the three got off the roof. “Stay here.”

What?

Merla gave a yowl, but Ryou shoved her until she followed him into the shack. Keith jumped onto his bike and took off in the direction the object was falling.
