More headcanons because I honestly love this AU so much!!
The power to switch places with someone in your dreams is one that only Altean royalty possess, and is passed down from mother to daughter.
The first time Keith wakes up in Alluras body he fREAKS OUT of course cuz omfg he’s an alien but once he gets past the shock his nerdy conspiracy theorist ass is like OMFG IM AN ALIEN. ALIENS ARE REAL
Allura also freaks out when she first wakes up as Keith. The first thing she complains about is how hideous his ears are.
Keith is usually quiet and keeps to himself but when Allura is in Keiths body she acts more sociable and open, and the other students at Keith’s school are shocked by the change in demeanor.
Likewise, everyone in the castle is shocked by Allura’s change in behavior. Since Allura is a princess, I’m sure there were a lot of rules about manners and such involved in her life, which Keith knows nothing about. He knows basic manners of course, but all of the rules about table manners are lost on him, not to mention he doesn’t even know what he’s eating.
Pizza is the greatest thing Allura has ever tasted in her life she cried when she ate it.
KEITH GETS TO SEE VOLTRON AND HE GETS TO MEET ALL THE OLD PALADINS. HE’S IMMEDIATELY DRAWN TO THE RED LION AND HE GETS THE FEELING LIKE IT’S TRYING TO TALK TO HIM, LIKE IT KNOWS HE’S THERE
The old Red Paladin lets Keith see the inside of the lion (You’ve seen it like a million times, Allura, but alright) and Keith feels like he belongs there
Every time Keith wakes up as Allura, he hears more and more about the Galra and the war and all the terror they’re causing but he doesn’t know how to help
At the time this weird phenomena starts, Keith is living in an abusive household. The father takes all of his anger out on Keith and the mother is emotionally abusive. They only adopted Keith for the welfare checks. It hurts Allura that Keith has to go through this on a daily basis and she wishes she could do something to help.
One time she tries to stand up to the dad, because Keith won’t, and she gets Keith a black eye for it
Keith is angry at her for it at first, but later realizes that she only did it because she cared.
Throughout the time they switch, They support each other in what ever way they can, even if it’s just leaving an encouraging message in each others phones (or whatever Alteans use for communicaton)
Both of them don’t consider the possibility that they’re in two different timelines, and when the switching stops, Keith is afraid that Allura was hurt by the Galra. He doesn’t know that Altea was destroyed 10,000 years ago.
Keith tries everything to switch with Allura again, but nothing he tries works and he doesn’t know what else to do. After awhile, he doesn’t even remember what he was trying to do. Was he trying to find someone? Who was he trying to find? He gets upset when he can’t remember
The memories fade as time passes, and eventually Keith is left with nothing more than a feeling that he’s missing something.
When they finally meet each other three years (In Keiths time) later, they feel drawn to each other but can’t explain why.
That’s all I have for now! Feel free to add more!
