Ulrik Munther - "Before" is such a fitting song for any Keith ship after what happened in season 8

Great song overall, I recomend listening to it

[dchan87]

(Note: Let’s just assume for a moment that a//urance and k/acxa are endgame, which sadly, seems like a very real possibility. Sadly, I’m all too familiar with my ships losing, so here’s some Kallurangst)

Allura loves Lance, but back in her mind, she knows that he’s the wrong one. Not Wrong, but just... wrong. She tries to put on a happy face as he introduces her to his family. But she can barely even be happy for him. They shower her with love and affection, which she appreciates. But she’s afraid to pursue her own dreams, because she knows that it’ll break Lance’s heart, and so she stays quiet for now. And at night, it’s not long walks on the beach with him that she dreams about, but sailing the stars with someone else, in red. There’s a connection that was missed somewhere.

Keith loves Acxa, but he barely knows her. She just popped into his life a few times, and although they had a connection, he wonders if he’s making the right choice with her. They both have Galra heritage and a warrior’s respect. But he has the latter with Shiro and the rest of the team. Why is she any different? He tries to be happy as he introduces her to Krolia, but he can see that she’s putting on a similar, fake-happy face for him, making him doubt if he’s making the right choice. Even Acxa can see it. And when he dreams, it’s of pink. What in the world was going on?

And when Keith and Allura look at each other, they feel something pulling them towards each other, so they avoid eye contact. It’s not a force that’s... forcing... them together, but simply nudging them, from another reality. It’s like they can feel the people they’re with aren’t whom they’re meant to be with. But they deny it, because they fear what might happen. But they know each other, trust each other, and respect each other more than they do their current SOs.

So they’re frightened when they think of each other while making love to someone else. They’re frightened when they think of each other in times of stress. They’re frightened when they wonder what it’d be like to spend the rest of their lives with each other. So they tell themselves that they’re happy with what they got.

So why?

Why does it hurt to love someone else? Why can’t they love someone else? 

It’s because they made a terrible mistake.

Kallura

i.e. team “My dad is dead and I chose to leave behind the hologram version of him so that i can save the universe”

[dchan87]

In a few months, we’ll find out if Kallura comes from behind to win a la the 2004 Boston Red Sox, or we make super-heavy Kallurangst headcanons about “the one that got away” or “they loved each other but didn’t know they were meant to be” and such, just like Naruto and Sakura, Tai and Sora, and Harry and Hermione.

Writing some Kallurangst and making myself cry. Soon you’ll be joining me in my misery.

New prompt after sacrificing the castle of Lions to seal the rift the Paladins find an escape pod with the diamond and inside are Keith and Allura's kids from another reality that was destroyed by a huge mech simply passing through. They end up taking the young children in and Allura and Keith have to take over raising them where there other selves could not since the pods had a message from the mentioned other Keith and Allura and it's the right thing to do. Can you handle this?😎

A/N: YEET! Okay, so I'm so hyped because I finally wrote about my Kallura children/OC's 😄 I've had these three babes planned put since before s8 and, oof, I love them to bits. I took this request as an excuse to write about them tbh :)). So...angst ahead...whoops

Allura pushed the Lions controls as fast as she could, urging Blue to fly farther and farther from her last memory of home. In a second, a yellow light invaded the Lion’s cockpit and she knew the job was done. The Castle of Lions was gone. If there could be sound in space, she would have guessed there was a loud explosion behind her.

Allura sighed, already knowing that if she turned around, there would be no castle there anymore and that she no longer had anything to remind her of her childhood in Altea. She felt two hands on her shoulder and looked up to see Coran and Romelle looking down at her emphatically. She grabbed their hands in thanks and the three mourned the destruction of the last authentic Altean relic.

“That’s weird,” Pidge’s voice interrupted their mourning and Allura saw a chart before her and she read what seemed to be some quintessence sensors. “It seems like there was a sudden spike in quintessence levels right before the castle exploded. It’s the opposite of what should have happened. The castle was supposed to cancel out the immense quintessence and close all the transreality portals. However, according to my charts, quintessence levels rose right before the castle exploded.”

“And that’s weird because...,” Lance said.

“To simplify things a bit, something from another reality came in through a portal right before the castle destroyed them all.”

“Do you think it’s Lotor?” Keith asked, all ready for action in case of a worst case scenario.

“No, the quintessence signature is different from Lotor’s ship. It’s similar to the one from the Altean pods, though.”

“An Altean pod?” Coran asked, “But those were all in the castle while it was destroyed.”

“It isn’t one of ours per se. It’s different and more pure than ours, actually. It seems to be partly made up of the ore of a transreality comet.”

“Whoa, guys, check it out,” Hunk exclaimed, “It’s a crazy awesome Altean pod.”

Sure enough, behind them was a ship reminiscent of those the castle held. It had a sleek design similar to the Altean ones, though this one was much bigger and more simplistic. It was simply floating in the space where the castle exploded without power, otherwise seemingly untouched by the powerful hit.

“What could be in there?” Allura asked, her curiosity spiking once she immediately noticed the similarities.

“We’re about to find out. Let’s investigate team,” Keith flew Black closer to the pod, the other lions closing in.

The five Paladins stood in front of the pod’s hatch, Krolia, Coran and Romelle watching over them in case of an emergency, Shiro still unconscious and in a pod in the Black Lion. “Shields up,” Keith ordered to his team, all of them activating their shields simultaneously. With a metallic ring, Keith’s blade was unsheathed and transformed into a sword, successfully cutting through the hatch and creating an opening, the hatch door now floating freely through space.

Lance called for his gun and jumped into the middle of the hatch’s opening, his Bayard aimed at whatever was inside. What he didn’t expect, however, was frantically dodging a flying, purple boomerang aimed for his face. He screamed in surprise and flailed around trying to dodge the boomerang’s continuous throws before Pidge pulled him back in.

He took a breather on the sidelines and both Allura and Keith decided to jump into the fray, readying their weapons to fire. They were ready to see a horrible creature, a soldier from an alternate reality, maybe even an Altean from the reality they visited last time. They weren’t ready to see three kids though.

There was a little boy holding a sharp boomerang in his hand, a look of fury and confusion in his eyes. A girl sat behind him, an older girl, holding a sleeping baby in her arms; she was wearing the same look as the little boy in front of her.

She stood on her feet, no taller than Keith’s mid-thigh, and she took the little boy’s hand. Looking at the two Paladins with confusion and she analyzed their faces. She activated her small tiny jetpack to fly closer to Keith and Allura, flying into better lighting to let them both see her silver white hair, deep blue Altean marks, and indigo eyes peering up at them and letting them see the little boy’s silver white hair, magenta Altean marks and blue eyes and the little baby’s black hair, a noticeable absence of Altean marks and ears were evident.

The little girl only stopped when she floated right before them and she whispered in disbelief, “Mommy? Daddy?”

Allura blinked in surprise, her head immediately turning to face Keith, finding him already looking at her and her jaw dropped at the implications of the child. Keith then pulled away from her gaze bent down on one knee and putting on the softest face she has ever seen, “Hey, kid. I don’t know who you’re talking about. Are you lost?”

The little girl, clearly struggling for holding the baby for so long, had her arms trembling and tears pooled in her eyes and she cried, “Daddy!”

Allura’s heart broke when she saw the two older kids wrap their arms around Keith, completely taking him by surprise. They seemed exhausted, tired, and scared and they couldn’t be older than five deca-phoebs. The little boy peered up at Allura with his beautiful blue eyes and her heart melted. He extended his small hand and Allura offered her finger, the little boy wrapping his hand around it entirely and pulling her towards their group hug.

The kids were crying in their arms, sobbing in fact, and Keith and Allura didn’t have the heart to correct them. If they reminded them of their missing parents, then they’ll play along for now. They came to a silent agreement after sharing a glance.

“Whoa, uh, did you two forget to tell us something?”

At Lance’s voice, the two kids ears perked up, both of them pointed like Allura’s and their eyes sparkled beneath their tears. The little boy gasped, “Unk Lance!” and he jumped from Keith’s embrace and into Lance’s arms, the Latino struggling to catch the boy in a safe position after being caught off guard. The little girl’s eyes widened at seeing Hunk and she jumped from Keith’s arms too and into Hunk’s arms, “Uncle Hunk!”

She squealed when she saw Pidge and she pointed at the petite genius, “Aunt Pidge!”

Hunk and Lance wasted no time in distracting the kids, noticing that serious must have happened once they noticed the kids’ body shaking. Keith was left kneeling on the floor with a baby in his arms, the small boy snoozing as if nothing was going on.

The little girl suddenly gasped and the five Paladins turned to look at her immediately, all of them worried that something was happening to her. She scrambled out of Hunk’s grasp and she flew into the pod again, Keith and Allura following her once she beckoned them to follow. She pressed her hand on a panel inside the ship and, suddenly, a blue holographic screen lit up the dark pod.

On the screen were older versions of both Keith and Allura with worried, panicked looks on their face. Allura was wearing a regal blue dress, a more mature twist on her blue dress she would were from time to time now, she looked exactly the same only much more older. She wore a beautiful crown on her head.

Keith wore a purple tunic accented with gold, his face still donning the scar on his right cheek, and his hair pulled into a low ponytail. He wore a crown on his head that matched Allura’s. Keith was holding her hand tightly and still held an air of confidence and authority even in his panicked state.

“Hello,” the alternate reality Keith spoke on the screen, “We are Emperor Keith and Empress Allura of Daibaltea, a planet from an alternate reality currently crumbling into nothingness.”

Keith and Allura felt a heavy weight on their stomach as they saw the scenery behind the two alternate versions of themselves vaporize into black.

“This is the work of an evil Altean alchemist, Honerva, who is supposedly looking for the perfect reality. She has supposedly been jumping from reality to reality, each one disappearing once she leaves it. She already left ours and brought an inevitable end,” Alternate Keith explained.

“We are sending our only hope,” Alternate Allura spoke up, “We are sending our children, Lukeia who is five deca-phoebs, Kallur who is three deca-phoebs, and Keilu who is six phoebs old, over to your reality. For them to escape. We still aren’t capable of transreality transportation and we could only send this one pod.”

Alternate Allura’s eyes teared up and she turned around, watching the black nothingness get closer and closer to her, “We don’t have much time,” she urged Keith.

“We beg you,” Alternate Keith pleaded, “Please take care of them like your own. If we survive this purge, I promise we’ll find some way to get them back. But we need to fight for our universe and we will stop at nothing to protect our kids.”

“Keith, Allura! We need to go now if we have a chance!” A voice similar to that of Lance’s cut the pleading short and Allura and Keith could see ships resembling bears flying around in the background, shooting a laser at a huge mecha.

“Please, take care of them!” Alternate Allura begged at the camera, a tear slipping down her cheek and she ran off, her “paladin” armor with an “m” instead of a “v” materializing on her form before she disappeared in the distance. Alternate Keith pressed a button, though it seemed to not perform correctly because the screen continued playing the message as he ran off to battle, his armor materializing on him as well.

Allura and Keith watched with surprise as five bears formed a huge mecha, one resembling Voltron but quite different, and they aimed a bow and arrow at the evil mecha. Their efforts were in vain and they were attacked, the quintessence literally sucked out of their mecha and they lost, the falling mecha falling into the raging fire beneath it. Soon enough black nothingness enveloped them.

The small girl, Lukeia they assumed, pressed a hand to the black screen and a single tear poured down her cheek and she whispered, “Mommy...Daddy…”

“Whoa,” Lance mumbled.

The pod was now full of silence in the mourning of the fallen universe. The baby, Keilu, in Keith’s arms rustled around in its blanket and his eyes opened, blue eyes and pink irises looking up at Keith. Eyes that were exactly like Allura’s.

“So what do we do now?” Hunk asked, picking up Lukeia in his arms and holding her as she cried, now having understood what happened to her real parents. Lance bounced Kallur in his arms, hoping that the small boy still wouldn’t understand the fate of his parents.

Keith turned around and looked at Allura questioningly. She placed an arm on his bicep and she nodded, “We will take care of them and avenge their parents. We will beat Honerva!”

Allura turned to look at Kallur and Lukeia and took them in her arms, both kids hugging her tight and her heart warming at their affection. A small tear travelled down her cheek and she smiled, “And these will be our kids.”

Keith looked down at them from beside Allura, finding a smile forming on his own face and he nodded and cooed at the baby in his arms, “Yeah.”

[roggling]

Your still taking request can you do a angst kallura please !

A/N: LET'S GO MY HEART IS FULL OF ANGST AFTER THE ENDING (s8 spoilers)

As Allura made her way down the line up of Paladins, Keith found himself breathless. The Princess, his Princess, was leaving.

In reality, he should be prepared for this. Losimg a comrade in war happens all the time. They are sacrifices needed to be made to save everyone. He understood that.

But...why her? The single most important person in the war effort, the heart of Voltron, has to be sacrificed.

Keith watches as she moves on to Pidge.

She has already suffered so much. She doesn't need to be sacrificed. She still has a life to live. His eyes widened and turned to look at Lance at his right side. He looked broken and, Keith lamented. And he was broken too. Allura deserved to live happily. Even if it wasn't with him. More than anyone else here.

Allura moved on to Shiro.

It's almost his turn and he doesn't know what to say. What do you say to someone who has turned your life upside down just with their mere presence? What do you say to someone who pushed you to become the best version of you? What do you say to the girl you love when she's about to sacrifice herself for all realities?

Are you supposed to stop them? No. Allura won't listen to anyone once she's made up her mind. If she thought that there was another way, she would do it.

Are you supposed to cry? No. He doesn't want Allura to feel guilty in her last moments. He should stay strong, no matter how much he wants to cry.

It's his turn. He breathes in, "Allura," he breathed, hoping his voice wasn't as shaky as he was inside, "when you accepted me, I learned to accept myself. Thank you."

When Allura wrapped her arms around him, he struggled to not cry in her shoulder right there. He wasn't a man of tears, years of solitude made him strong, but this was a moment where he had to bite back his tears before he started sobbing on her shoulder.

He also had to resist the urge to squish her against him out of respect to her and Lance, but, God, was it hard. Her words were fuzzy in his ears, he was trying to memorize the feel of her against him, the feel of what could have been.

When she pulled away, she placed a hand on his cheek and whispered, "I know, I wish I could have known sooner."

She left his side with one final pitying look and his heart felt empty as she walked towards Lance. He found himself having to look away from her and Lance. As he did, he saw Shiro's pitying face looking down on him and he turned again, surprised to see Pidge looking away as well and he wondered if she felt the same pain he did. He looked up again only when Allura pulled away and he felt a stray tear travel down his cheek and he immediately wiped it away before anyone saw.

When he saw her by Honerva's side and a bright light from behind them, he almost fell to his knees. Behind there, he sees her father waiting for her. She will be reunited with her parents. That was her biggest wish and she's getting it. Who was he to stop her?

So with a heart squeeze, he sees her cross to the other side and a bright light flashes in his eyes.

The next second, he's back in his lion and everything is back to normal. Everything, except for a missing pilot in the Blue Lion. He hoped that there was the off chance that she was still alive, but he didn't feel her energt with them anymore. She was gone.

And in his Lion, he doubled over and mourned the death of his Princess, silent tears pouring down his cheeks. She was their savior but she didn't deserve to die. Once his team called for him in concern, he lifted his head and urged Voltron to move with a newfound determination.

He was going to make sure his universe knew the Princess's sacrifice. He was going to tell her story till his dying breath. He was going to honor her memory the most he could. She deserved so much more than any of this, but it's all he could do and it's all he will do.

[burr-ell]

hey so there’s a distinct possibility that alteans have longer life spans than humans because coran talks about his grandfather building the castle of lions 600 years before the war began, and it may also be the case that the galra have similar life spans

so please do not consider the possibility of allura and keith getting married and having kids and leading the effort to stabilize the universe and then having to watch lance, hunk, and pidge all die of old age before they do :)
