Voltron Legendary Defender: Sensate AU (CP Warning: Sheith)
Ø Settings based on the Netflix show Sense 8 (Please check it out if u haven’t seen it, it’s the most beautiful show I ever saw) Ø For the friends who haven’t seen it: its about 8 people, who do not know each other at all and live across the world, suddenly linked by mind
Ø There are sensates (a species that is different from us, homo sapiens) live among us. They are generally like us, except they can mentally linked to their kind once they meet eye to eye. This kind of link called “visit”. Ø “visit” is like visitors exist right beside the visitee, except others can not see the visitors.They can communicate, share emotion and feelings “face to face”. Note that visitor and visitee can be more than 2 people and can switch position anytime. Ø Sensates can also give birth (not in biological meaning). Give birth is a mental process, it will link 8 (-ish) other sensates into a cluster.Ø The members in cluster don’t need to meet irl to link and “visit”. And only members within clusters can share knowledge, skills, language among them. Hence to be able to do the “remote control” thingings (kinda like possess)Ø In the show, the cluster members are all born at the same time (biologically). I prefer to keep the age differences so I decide to not follow this settings. And also the number of a cluster. Ø Other settings will disclose if I come up with more story

Shiro, Keith, Allura, Lance, Hank & Pidge was sensate-ly born. At first they visits others by random, and trying to figure out what is happening. The visits help members to face the obstacles in their lives and build a family bonded by mind. When their bond becomes stronger, and with Allura’s guidance, they automatically join Voltron to help fight against Galra.
After seeing so many cruel crime committed by Galra, and also the capture of Allura, they all finally meet up and plan out a rescue.
It is a really interesting setting. At early stage, the random visits can present interesting dynamics between them .People with so many differences come together to help each member figure out their life problems, no matter it life threatening crisis or annoyance in peaceful life.
like, lance ,pidge and hank immediately become friends. Keith barely ask anything from the cluster at the beginnings.
