Origins/Storyline | Mothership AU
- The rest are up to interpretation by the reader
Colleen is originally married to Sam
Matt is 2-3 months old when Sam dies on a mission to Neptune’s moon, Triton
Colleen, in her grieving, flees to the house in the desert
About a month later is when Krolia crashes
Colleen finds her (taking the role of Texas)
Krolia has some Big Alien Dick EnergyTM and somehow gets Colleen pregnant
Keith is born a year after Matt was (they’re half-brothers in this AU)
Similar thing happens with Pidge about 3 years down the line
Yes, Pidge is half-galra now
Her design changes so she’s wearing tights under her shorts now due to her body having Galran markings
Her hair also mimics Krolia’s by being two-toned (brown on top and pink under) but she frequently dyes it to be all brown
She’s able to interact with Galra technology, etc.
Putting Matt at 4, Keith at 3, and Pidge at about a month old when Krolia leaves
Keith ends up idolising Matt as his older brother, deciding that when Matt goes to the Garrison, he would too a year later
Colleen returns to the Garrison as well as an engineer (mostly bc she needs an income for 3 kids)
At the Garrison, as Keith’s teacher, Shiro becomes a role model for Keith (developing a connection we see in the show)
He pays extra attention to discipline issues, helping him out, etc
The Kerberos mission is Shiro, Matt, and Colleen this time
Pidge is accepted a little early in so she’ll be taken care of per conditions for Colleen being able to leave to space
Kerberos mission fails - Keith flunks out, going to the desert
Pidge stays around a couple more months until she’s caught hacking into the systems too many times and is kicked out
They both end up living in the desert together, working on the blue lion conspiracy
Adam ends up becoming their ‘guardian’ until Keith is 18
Pidge does go back as ‘Pidge’ to keep trying to find anything out she can
Plot of Voltron ensues, but with the following changes:
Keith joins Pidge in looking for their mother and brother, but is more focused on the mission than Pidge is
When Pidge tries to leave, Keith has an outburst along the lines of “You’re going to leave just like everyone else in our family did!”
Lance does have a moment where its like wait Keith and Pidge are related?
Colleen doesn’t take the place of Sam, she ends up escaping the Galra and joining up with a rag-tag team of rebels (space pirates) as their engineer
They end up meeting with her when the pirates end up responding to a distress call at the same time Voltron does
During the scene where Lotor and Zarkon fight, it’s due to Zarkon getting a hold on one of the lions and by extension members of Voltron (It’s Lance because I do what I WANT)
When Keith finds Krolia and introduces her to the team, Krolia runs up to Pidge hugging her and just being like “MY CHILD YOU’VE GROWN SO MUCH YOU BOTH HAVE WHERES MATT”
Pidge didn’t remember Krolia at all (see notes 1 about why) so learning she has two momsTM is an experience, but it’s cut short by needing to deal with Lotor
During the battle with Lotor (aka the three year time skip) Colleen and Matt support each other through the mysteries of Voltron disappearing and the fight
Colleen establishes contact with Earth in this time (she was given the plans like Sam was in case she returned to Earth before anyone else)
Atlas is still in the works of being built bc Colleen is like “I’m literally broadcasting from space what do you think?”
Krolia and Colleen reunite when they’ve found Kolivan
Colleen picks up on the signal and goes to it thinking it might be Krolia
She ends up helping Keith in the fight
They leave together to work on rallying forces for the BOM
When Sanda starts being a Little BitchTM Colleen splits off from Krolia and Kolivan to go manage things on Earth
Because of this, Colleen is able to save a LOT of people (including Adam)
Adam becomes head of the MFE’s and is able to reunite with Shiro
They don’t pick things up right away, Shiro apologises for a lot and Adam doesn’t forgive him, but he is willing to start a new and possibly rebuild things between them
