[ T ] | [ 1/1 ] | [ 3k. ] | [ Complete ] | [ English ] The "What if they (the party and others) find out about the quarry situation" trope, i.e., when Mike jumped knowing he would likely die because he didn't know El was there to save him. With a little Byler bonus at the end.

[ T ] | [ 4/4 ] | [ 61k. ] | [ Complete ] | [ English ] Alternate post-s5 events where Mike struggles with amnesia (which turns out to be Vecna's curse), featuring pretty heavy internalized homophobia and themes of religious trauma. (Basically, one of the realities of being a queer kid in the 80s). Happy ending with Byler.

Voltron: Legendary Defender: total 8 works.

After the Omega Shield by brilliantbanshee

[ G ] | [ 3/3 ] | [ 12k. ] | [ Complete ] | [ English ] A series of two short fics about the events of s6. The first one is from Hunk's POV, the second is from Keith's. Basically the "what if the team found out he died" trope.

In Which Lance Isn't As Human As He Thinks by GemmaRose

Let's Do This (Again) by DairyFarmer

[ T ] | [ 16/16 ] | [ 94k. ] | [ Complete ] | [ English ] A sort of Time Travel Fix-it where an older Lance ends up in the past. He doesn't want to change too much, but still wants to save more lives than they originally could. (Plus, his desire to get together with Keith much earlier and smoother than the first time around).

life after death by taylortot

[ T ] | [ 13/14 ] | [ 90k. ] | [ In Progress ] | [ English ] What if, after the s6 Omega Shield, Lance woke up with total amnesia. The main focus is on that and Klance, which is pretty cute and a lot of angst.

Speak no evil. See no evil. Do no evil. Hear no evil.

Honerva gives the Paladins exactly what they think they want, but in turn it destroys them. There is a chuck load of symbolism here for my Galra AU and it is giving me Feelings(tm). I will delve into the meta of this under the cut.

LANCE

In canon we see that Lance wants glory - he wants to be important and recognized as a hero. He craves attention and he wants to be fawned over by the ladies. Honerva gives him exactly this when she gives him power. Through his poison immunity and rigorous training, Lance becomes one of the most intimidatingly powerful galra within the Empire. He becomes the “super soldier” and in turn gets the attention of all the ladies. 

In the end, he absolutely hates it. Probably likes it at first but he now feels trapped, constantly having to live up to this standard of the hero lest he disappoint everyone and stuck in this cycle of seeing girls he doesn't want to be with. Because of his poison he fears he can’t ever truly settle down with someone.

Speak no evil fits Lance for a number of reasons. His mouth is his most dangerous weapon due to his venom. He is the first to learn the truth and tell the other Paladins they were once human. Due to his many interactions courting women, he knows numerous secrets, even damning secrets of the Empire. And we all know Lance to be a talker...

PIDGE

A curious mind, Pidge has always wanted to know how things work. Especially at the young age of 10 where the story begins, she wants to learn and be as smart as her older brother and parents. When Honerva presents her with unlimited knowledge, of course she dives in with little doubt. But such knowledge comes with a price, and that price is the side effects of druidcraft. 

Pidge gets all the knowledge she could possibly want when she learns druidcraft and with her high status she's left to her own devices. But over time she realizes how it alienates her from everyone else, that no one can understand her or even like her because everyone fears her, and she starts to feel very lonely. Pidge yearns to be loved. But due to her delving in druidcraft, she knows she is only feared by everyone within the Empire, and the negative side effects have made her unsightly.

See no evil fits Pidge because Honerva helps her to literally see the future, but never the bits that would destroy the lies she’s woven together. With her seer abilities she will also be able to look into the past and confirm Lance’s revelation is true, at least the part where they were once human.  

HUNK

Hunk struggles with fear and anxiety and he doesn’t want to be a coward. He wants to be strong. Honerva promises him that with strength, he will have no need to be fearful anymore. Hunk cannot handle the carnage of war and becomes an engineer, designing ships for the Empire instead of fighting and conquering like the other Paladins.

But Hunk's strength comes in uniting people and supporting them and he doesn't get that when he's stuck in a lab all day. Like Pidge, he's lonely and feels very unfulfilled despite getting what he thought he wanted. Though he is physically strong, Hunk isn’t fighting any battles when he’s left alone tinkering on ships, and has no opportunities to grow. 

Do no evil fits Hunk because he is the one who cannot bring himself to pull the trigger. While the others are transformed in more than appearance to become killers, Hunk stays true to his desire to do no harm to others. Even after learning the truth he will have a hard time fighting against his Empire.

KEITH

An outsider, an orphan, an odd one at best, Keith has never felt like he belonged somewhere. Losing his parents at a young age, he doesn’t know the meaning of family and yearns to have a home and people who love him. When he’s abducted and learns he was actually half galra all along, he finally feels like he’s where he’s meant to be. Honerva gives him the family he never had, the family he’s always wanted.

And ironically enough, becoming fully galra and being with a galra family is still not meeting his needs. He feels like he's just a disposable pawn despite being a favored Paladin. He needs genuine bonds, and even though he feels that with Lance, Pidge, and Hunk, he needs them under Voltron instead of the guise of a fake family. He’s given what he wants, but in a way that doesn’t satisfy his needs.

Hear no evil fits Keith because he is the least objectionable to Honerva’s plans in the beginning. He believes they were meant to become galra, that all of this was meant to happen. He is the one who fights against Lance the hardest when they learn the truth. He is complacent to be galra and remain a soldier for the Empire, but he has to find it in himself to be the leader of Voltron and fight against that which he called home...

CH 11 :: Synapse Slipping

Rating: Mature

Fandom: Voltron Legendary Defender

Summary: Voltron has always been an elusive, inevitable threat to the Galra Empire, scattered across the universe and hiding for centuries for its fated paladins to rise to their destined calling. They found and captured the Red Lion but it was not enough to thwart the future. Honerva foresees years ahead, catching a glimpse of the five future paladins. She knows enough. She knows where their homeplanet lies (and all of them conveniently come from one place), she knows their names and faces, and she knows their respective Voltron Lions. In a desperate attempt to alter the future, Honerva sets out to capture the future paladins at a young age and ensure they will never pilot the Lions. By conditioning their minds and transforming their bodies, she trains and raises a team of perfect Galran soldiers. She strips them of everything they once were to ensure they can never rise up as the defenders of the universe they were meant to become. Despite the horrors of Honerva’s cunning plan, the Lions are adaptable to the dire circumstances and Lance still has a wild streak of luck in determining their roles in the universe.

Galra Lance

Lance is a galra, and Ex-Mamourian (He was kicked out because he was suicidal and kept getting attention to try to make Zarkon afraid which was the opposite of what mamoura wanted so Lance is a rebel doing his own thing, bounty hunting stealing, raiding and above all about to steal a red Lion on the ship hailed under Sendak and he’s going to get a boatloud of it. Then a cocky kid in a red suit slashes in claiming it’s his lion. Lance wonders if any of this was even worth it?

1 Flash to mind meld plus suspicion lances memories of him in water with mermaids and pre-galran.

2 Flash to “surprise, not a galra.” Lance is exposed and returned and nervous.

3 His father is Blatyz the previous blue Paladin and his other father the Galra whom Blatyz married. (Wait how were you born?) Pidge asked and Lance grinned his tail flickering back like a cats (I was a test tube baby)

4 Keiths initiation Lance returns to the Mamoura.

5 they take down Zarkon then realise his son appears and find out it was hagger when plot twist the whole family were puppets a chaotic energy anti quintescence gains a form and almost possesed the galra but some (Maourans) Resisted and the galra were so soft, so easily corruptable they fight that thing with Fusiontron. They save Honerva and Lotor and they find a planet and make it habitable and release everyone from enslavment but some planets are merged some want the Galra gone and some need their galra to remain so Allura and Lotor try to fix things. Lance goes to his planet which is hidden and Allura gasps to see Alteans, Mermainians and Galra there in hiding in a warped hole.

On a spacecraft floating on the edge of an arus solar system, an abandoned Galra named Lance, was taking a pit stop.

His ship consisted of junk, the pilot hanger cluttered making even hoarders feel disgusted open drinks and snack bars littered here and there and Lance had to squeeze in just to get to the pilots chair, the craft only had one room and a bathroom that stopped working. And his room was the only place that was clean it had an assortment of guns, rifles, snipers, you name it, along with a discarded blade that has seen no use in years with a strange symbol on the hilt.

Lance had music blasting from his speakers some album he bought from an alien shop, the album was called ‘Queen.’ And so far Lance was a fan.

He was flickering through a data pad as many reports scrolled past with anflick of his finger. Galra operations, cargo shipments, military vessels, open channels with radio chatter that Lance ignored. He was looking for something easy.

The life of a thief had its perks, steal medical supplies and weapons and give them to a rebellion and make a profit. Usually he sold to both sides just to live more dangerously. A recommendation opened up and Lance smirked behind his mask with the three circles on the front.

A vessel captioned by Sendek was hovering outside Arus, sliding the panel right and lots of data began to download at lighting speed , appeared and Lance’s smirk grew.

It had some precious cargo on it, a Lion of Voltron to be exact.

Lance was having the time of his life knocking out guards ninja style was just so easy, he had the red lion in his sights.

“Well hello gorgeous, mind dropping down that barrier and getting out of here?”

Suddenly he heard a nose and hid behind a pillar in the shadows, just as more galra guardsran into the hanger.

Lance turned and frowned to see a boy in red and white armour (like thats not inconspicuous) and took them down, Lance grew more suspicious this kid fought like a galra. But he didn’t wear mamorian armour or any rebel armour that he knew. Could be a threat.

Until the kid went to the barrier “Alright open up.”

…it did nothing, the boy growled in frustration “Ugh-we don’t have time for this! It’s me keith! You’re I AM YOUR PALADIN!”

Lance couldn’t help it he laughed, more like busted a gut.

The kid whipped around activating a weapon, a sword.

“Stay back!” Lance shook his head “No, wait,” he was still chuckling holding up his hands “I’m not-”

Suddenly more guards made themselves known and the two found themselves with their hands full.

Lance wasted no time shooting the Galra, even took care of the kids blindspots, this jlb was bigger than he thought maybe if he helped the kid out they can split the money fifty fifty.

That was until.

“You’re not getting this lion!”

Keith slammed his hand against the panel, and opened up the interlock, the vacum

Shot the galra forward and Keith was barely gripping onto the panel.

Lance cursed then used his grappling hooks to latch onto a structure beam.

Suddenly Keith’s slipped and he was pulled into space.

Lance acted on instinct he unlatched grapplings and shot out of space after the teen. He easily grabbed him stopping them both from slinning.

“Let go!”

“Shut up, I’m trying to save your life.” Until the kid screamed Lance turned in time to see big metal jaws clamp shut around them.

Both screamed as they tumbled along the inner corridors, Lance was usually could at improvising- but this was going so far out of left field!

He had no clue what was even going on anymore.

Both were on their hands and knees panting from the sudden death experience, until Lance heard a high pitched sound and turned his head slowly.

Keith held his red sword against his face. Lance could only stare- oh well, stare in his mask and ex-Mamourian armour as much as he could.

“Who are you?” Keith growled. Lance knew he could knock the kid out and take the lion. But he’d have no idea if it’ll even respond to him, and Keith is a fighter and wouldn’t let this thing go, heck heleaped out of an airlock for this thing.

A crash outside saved his interrogation. “A rebel, against the Galra,” he rushed out (which was sorta true)

“Honestly I would tell you more but we don't have time!”

….It turns out Lance got involved in something much bigger than him.

This...this was Voltron.

His childhood stories, the one his dad told him about. The universe’s last hope before Alfor hid them away.

They returned!

Kinda, with one blue lion shot, it just sat there with it’s barrier up. Useless. Not doing a thing….sounded like his type of girl. Chilling alone while the whole universe wasn’t in chaos.

But even with four lions they were able to take down a fighter craft, one with Sendek attached as it crashed onto the planet before him. Colour Lance impressed.

Keith wasn’t too bad either during the battle. He was an excellent pilot and a fighter, but he had a very bad habit.

“Green is wide open,” Lance said with a sigh as he watched how obvious it was that the green Lion had three fighters on their ass.

“Help them out.” Dumbass, he left unsaid.

Keith seemed to hear it.

“I know-” keith instantly covered them and Lance saw fighter ships approach from the main craft. “Your right-” Keith barely managed to dodge.

“Will you quit back seat driving!?”

Lance almost stopped until he saw the black paladin was in distress “The Black lion-”

Keith was moving before he even finished. Keith was good, just had to see the bigger picture.

Once they defended Arus and went planet side, Lance had already made a decision, as he left the red lion trailing behind Keith he saw the others landed beside them.

A woman appeared out of the castle looking relieved, until her eyes clocked his and Lance almost ran back up the mouth of the lion.

“Who is he?”

Allura demanded once all the pilots had landed.

Lance brightened behind his mask, his lilac tail flicking back and forth as he descended the mouth of the lion and held his hand out.

“Oh hello, I’m Lance.” He over exagirated his movements the more big and dumb he looked the more trusting, Allura took his hand tentively.

“You can’t tell with the mask, but I’m winking.”

Allura pulled her hand away still suspicious. “Keith!”

Keith glanced at him curiously. “He was with the red lion,”

With no warning, Lance felt Allura grab his arm and twist him around onto his knees, Lance yelped.

“Ow, ow ow- that hurts lady- ow!” His hand was trembling and clenching as Allura dug her palm into his shoulder.

“What were your intentions with the red lion?”

“I was planning on stealing it,”

Allura looked very alarmed, until Lance gasped on. “But now? wouldn’t dream of it!” Allura growled “Why should we trust you?”

“My dad told me about Voltron,” Lance wheezed god this lady was tough.

Allura let him go surprised and Lance fell over with a yelp just barely catching himself, he turned and pointed at her with a scowl (That she didn’t see)

“Look I know what this looks like but I know that, this,” he gestured at the lions as he stood up ”This isn’t some collectors item, this is VOLTRON! The people’s hope, if anyone found out I-” Here he slapped a hand to his chest “-was responsible for sabotaging Voltron I’ll be doing the Galra a favour, Which is the opposite of what I want to do.”

Allura and the others who looked defensive, straightened once Lance said his piece.

“Is there anyone out there fighting Zarkon?” She asked, Lance placed a hands on his hips “Still? Jeez Lady where have you been? There is no more fighting, Its just surviving at this point.” He flapped his hand lazily “I already gave up on that freedom pipedream long ago, but yes other rebels are trying. Chances are if you make a dent in Zarkons oppressive system the rebels will come flocking.” And if the Mamoura catched wind of Voltron Lance wanted to be out of there ASAP.

He waved at them taking a step back “Good luck to you,” He patted the barrier of the blue lion and continued to walk away, hoping he could get enough of a signal to his ship to get him as far away from this planet.

Until the barrier collapsed with a swish.

He stopped walking as the others gasped. No.

Lance turned to see the others gape at the lion (Now free) then their gazes turned towards him.

Coran came to himself before the others. “It seems we have found our blue paladin.”

Lance looked around then back at them, wait they meant him?

Oh Gaia, no.
