(this is still a WIP but for now... this will do!)
Been obsessed with the idea of a lost episode (post-Shiro’s-death) of team Voltron landing down on a planet that has these reverse siren-esque creatures where, instead of luring people to their death using people’s desires, they instead threaten the loss of those they hold most dear.
So, we have a situation where team Voltron is surround by these creatures, and one-by-one everyone is getting lost in their own heads. It hits Pidge first when she calls out for Matt and her dad, and she starts running after them. Lance doesn’t catch a glimpse of them, but he sees this creepy looking thing in the direction she is running that is most definitely *not* Pidge’s family. He catches her and hauls her back. He’s trying to explain that they’ll go after her family together, trying to talk sense into her about the beast that’s in the way as she gets more hysterical (flash to her POV where she is seeing her family being knelt down in front of a Galra firing squad), when Lance hears “Lancito!” called out. He freezes, “Mami,” escaping him on a breath, before whipping around to find his own mother bound and being dragged away by Galra.
Meanwhile, Hunk and Allura are caught up in their own living nightmares (Allura losing Coran, Hunk losing his folks).
Now, these sirens aren’t working on Keith because all the people he cares about most are already right there with him. So, Keith is left sweating in the middle, piecing together what is happening, and trying desperately to figure out what to do to save his friends. Their families can’t all possibly be here on a random planet in the middle of a galaxy halfway across the universe, right? He hasn’t heard or seen any of the people they’re all crying out for.
Enter a scene where Keith is desperately fighting to keep the ones he holds most dear from running to their real, actual deaths and uhgggg I’m just gutted by the idea of Keith being confronted in the worst way possible that: “You all are my everything. You guys are all I have left to lose. Fuck this, I’m tired of losing everyone. Y’all are not dying.”
Keith kicks ass, breaking the illusion for Allura first by killing her monster. So, now you’ve got the orphan black paladin and the princess of a dead civilization with tears streaming down her face teaming up to save the only people they have left.
“Let’s go save our family.”
Each of the paladins join the fight one at a time, Keith calling out what’s going on over the chaos, tears fresh and emotions raw on everyone, as each new creature is bought down.
They end the encounter with chests heaving. They hail the castle to update Coran on the false distress signal trap, and Coran fills them in on what creatures they must have encountered based on their description. The team is curious as to who broke out of the siren’s call first, and Allura says it was Keith.
They all want to know how he broke free. His answer is simple: “I was never under it. I guess it’s because you guys are who I’m most scared of los-“
He doesn’t even get to finish before Hunk is yanking him into a hug and everyone else is joining in.
This AU takes place after the events of episode 7, where the main cast overthrow Caine and return Kinger to (dubious) sapience with full administrative privileges. Afterwards, Kinger guides Caine and they work together to make the circus a more livable place for the humans by developing new worlds, open 24/7, for them to explore however and whenever they wish. Some of them decide to stay in their own personalized worlds (ex.: Ragatha gets a ranch, Gangle gets a studio), but are still welcome to stay in the circus if they want. There is no escape from the circus, but over time it is built into something like a home.

ADDITIONAL INFO AND FAQ:
In addition to the Open World system, other updates take place to make the circus more hospitable:
The ability to change clothes at will as well as undress with certain exceptions (Pomni's hat is load-bearing). They are also able to alter their forms to a small extent (More "human" proportions, adding a fifth finger- small stuff).
Weather cycles and seasons for the grounds.
The cast has some ability to change environments on a permanent basis without it resetting via conjuring. Some use this for things like farming, building- think simple sandbox games- while some use it to worldcraft.
Holidays! Some classic ones, some entirely made up.
No more censorship.
Zooble get their wish.
Over time the circus turns into something like a small city, with the tent serving as a town square. It is populated with little shops, restaurants, and minigames/sidequests for those interested. Every day NPCs show up randomly in the town square (similar to Animal Crossing: City Folk)
NPCs no longer have their memory wiped and can be visited in their home worlds, however they cannot enter other worlds without special permission.
Abstraction still cannot be reversed and remains a possibility. Kinger and Caine are working on some way to relieve the suffering of the people in the cellar.
FAQ:
Is there a main fanfic for this AU? There is currently no fanfic for this AU, but there is a possibility I will write one in the future.
Can I write a fanfic/make fanart for this AU? YES a thousand times yes. Please tag me in it so I can see it! For fanfics just be aware that although I don't have a main fic now, I may choose to write one in the future. But don't let that deter you!
Are OC's allowed? Yes, totally!
Is _______ ship canon in your AU? While the comics I make will heavily involve funnybunny (and some abstragedy), anyone is free to explore their favorite ships in the AU as they please.
Here's the third comic in the Open World AU. I decided it would be more interesting if the cast also had some limited ability to conjure and worldcraft, so I wanted to explore that. This comic is both the longest I've done yet and is the most involved painting-wise. I hope it was worth the wait!
after caine makes new pajama skins for the cast, jax and pomni have a sleepover and it's awkward...
part 1 of the sleepover comic is finally here! there's about 48 pages in total so 4 more parts. this has been a months-long project so I'm super excited to share it!
