So... I finally watched Voltron season 5, and it was stellar!!!!
I frickin love Lotor!!! (And I ship Lotura, but I’m not talking about that right now).
However, when I then went to try and find fanfiction about him, I was severely disappointed. I was expecting tons of, sad!Lotor, maybe dealing with the fact that Haggar is his mom, or having to tell one of the paladins about what Zarkon was like as a father, or Lotor risking his life for the other paladins, or even Lotor grieving Narti’s death.
I found (almost) nothing.
Most of it was evil!Lotor, and the stuff that wasn’t was Lotor/Lance or Lotor/Keith, that was written pre-season 5, and Lotor is either abusive or happy-go lucky.
I found one, only one, fanfiction that had Lotor finding out that Haggar was his mother. And that one had some serious Lotor/Lance undertones, that I really wasn’t onboard with.
I found one, and again only one, fanfiction of Lotor comforting Allura (and it was actually really sweet, and not at all creepy).
*Sigh* I guess I’ll have to be the one to write Lotor angst/hurt/comfort fics.
