#Palafam

“…and I lived with an old lady who didn’t give a shit,” finished Keith.

“Language,” chided Shiro.

Lance gasped dramatically. “You swear as much as any of us, Shiro!”

“You taught us how to swear,” added Pidge. “Because Lance kept mixing up jackass and asshole, and you said it made us look bad.”

“Long live the jackhole,” intoned Hunk.

“Are you guys never going to let that go?!”

“Nope,” said Keith with a smirk.

Lance collapsed backwards across the couch, flopping against Shiro. “You guys are so meeaaaaan.”

Shiro patted Lance’s head. “That’s rough buddy.”

Silence. And then—

“Don’t MEME me, Shiro!”

There was one joke I couldn’t include in  this fic, so I’m posting here. Have some childhood friends/adopted siblings paladins.

[brewredacted]

On the phone with my Cousin

*Silence*

Me: Did I mention I love South Park?

Her: I THOUGHT you were going to say “Did I mention I love you”

*Continuous laughter*

[obsessionoverflow]

My favorite thing:

When you glorious vld fic writers refer to something/a situation as "utterly and unapologetically Lance" my heart soars anytime I see that line in a fic. I just love my boy so much

[bigstepsforasmallperson]

I should be asleep, but then this popped into my head.

Let's have some angsty Keith. This probably makes no sense but it made me feel all warm and fuzzy at the end because aww the palafam are so cute. Patience. Patience Shiro had said. But Keith was tired. He wanted things to be right, he wanted things to be good. But they weren't. In fact, they seemed to be getting worse. He was tired of watching those that got close get hurt. Once he had been stunned and secretly glad to stumble upon friends. Actual friends. But not now, because now they were getting hurt in front of him just like everyone before. Patience. What good had patience done for him? He wanted to give up so many times. But something had always pushed him forward. Seeing his friends look so devastated admist a brewing war had broken him. Patience. Sorry Shiro, I tried. Keith stares at his paladin suit before turning his back on it. He felt the gentle tug of his lion, but ignored it. He just wanted to go back to his little house in the middle of nowhere. Alone where everyone could be safe. But as he left his dorm, silhouettes followed him. From the corner of his eye he recognised the shapes of his friends "Leaving so soon?" Lance pouted. Keith didn't say a word "It's okay to not be okay y'know" Shiro smiled "We know you've been out of sorts lately" Hunk walked over and patted Keith on the shoulder "We all share our burdens now, we're not alone" Pidge shrugged. Keith stared at them. His friends. His family. He was about to walk out on the only thing that kept him living. And then it all clicked. Patience had won over. He had finally found a home.

by WinterAndLittleBrunettes

The pala-fam goes out for drinks at a karaoke bar at Hunk's suggestion, and they judge the awful singers there. But the entire time, Keith has trouble keeping his eyes off of Lance, who's arm seems to be perpetually wrapped around Allura's shoulders.

So Pidge signs Keith up to sing to give him an excuse to get away from Lance, and he's not sure if he should take it. What would he even sing?

Stars From Me

Ch 1: Keith | Ch 2: Pidge | Ch 3: Lance | Ch 4: Hunk | Ch 5: Allura | Ch 6: Shiro: part I | Shiro: part II

Summary: Shiro is just looking to escape the ever-expanding Galra empire and maybe his memories, too. If that means wrangling giant space lizards for a living, so be it. He definitely doesn’t intend to adopt a lost teen. Or four.

AKA: Five times Shiro gives someone a second chance and one time they join together to prove he deserves one, too.

Chapter 7 is up!

Excerpt:

Shiro shoves himself to his feet, swaying slightly, but he finds his balance again. There’s nothing damaged about his body, not really, something about Altean healing. Noting Keith, but unable to focus on him, Shiro walks past him, to the door, where he finally gets out and—

Sunlight.

Wind.

Prick of sand against his skin.

Faint smell of soap.

It hits him all again. It’s all new—again. He’s been taken, torn apart, returned to this planet to start over all over again, and has nothing changed? How many times does he have to do this? How many times is he going to be stripped down, disassembled, and forced to try to put it back together with pieces he no longer recognizes? Why does he have to do this all again?

Chapter 6 is up!

Excerpt:

A hand, thin and terribly strong, stops his motion. Ice cuts through the metal into his nerves, and Shiro screams.

“None of that, Champion.”

Haggar’s yellow eyes glow above him (when did he crash to the ground?). She’s too dark and solid—this is real.

“We put a lot of work into you, Champion. You won’t be throwing that away.”

The grip on his arm hurts, and Shiro wasn’t even aware his arm could feel pain.

“You’ll stay with us, Champion,” Haggar croons. “Because this is where you belong.”

“No.” Shiro gnashes his teeth. He realizes now the voices must have been a hallucination, and that gives him just enough strength. “I’ll never join you.”

Chapter 5 is up!

Excerpt:

“Guys, that’s a cliff!” yells Hunk. “We’re headed for the cliff!”

Lance tries to reach the handles, but he fell forward when Shiro jumped off, face in Keith’s hip, Pidge collapsed against his back, and there’s no way. Only one person can save them right now, and he won’t stop trying to leap off.

“KIETH I-DON’T-KNOW-IF-YOU-EVEN-HAVE-A-LAST-NAME!” bellows Lance into his squirming stomach. “WE ARE GOING TO DIE IF YOU DON’T FLY THE DAMN HOVER!”

“CLIFF!” yells Hunk.

“ROCK!” adds Pidge.

Oh shit, they are flying beyond top steed straight toward a gigantic boulder. Lance is too young to die like this.

Chapter 4 is up!

Excerpt:

After three intensely emotional conversations with his teenagers in one week, Shiro doesn’t trust things to just “work themselves out.” So he calls them all together at breakfast the morning after his hike with Lance.

“Is this some sort of family council?” says Pidge, arranging her laptop so she won’t spill milk on it as she scrolls and eats her cereal at the same time.

“Could we please not have your laptop open for this discussion?” asks Shiro.

“What’s a family council?” says Keith wandering in, hair still dripping from his shower after early morning sparring with Shiro.

“We’re having a family council? What’s wrong? What happened!” Lance comes skidding into the kitchen after Keith.

“Something’s wrong?!” says Keith alarmed.

“Family councils only happen when there’s something super serious going on, like if someone died or we have to pick up and leave or—”

“GUYS!”

[mckinlily]

More headcanons about the foster care au

Keith punched his first crush

He was ten and overwhelmed with ~feelings~. When the boy tried to talk to him, Keith freaked out and punched him.

The others still haven’t let him live it down

Pidge’s first “hacking” experience was sneaking onto Zarkon’s computer at age eight

She ended up finding a folder of *adult* content and was subsequently horrified.

Eleven-year-old Shiro was the one who had to try to explain.

“Um...so sometimes when adults, uh, like really like each other...”

“BUT WHY ARE THEY NAKED!?!”

Keith actually knows more Spanish than Lance simply because he actually paid attention in Spanish class. Lances hates this.

Lance’s first language was actually Spanish, but because he’s been in foster care since he was six, he has largely forgotten it.

Keith has offered to help Lance with Spanish, but so far neither of them have the attention span to make real progress yet.

Secretly (and seriously, DON’T TELL KEITH), Lance really appreciates that Keith tries.

Hunk’s bio parents were abusive. CPS got involved because Hunk told his teacher that his parents couldn’t come to kindergarten because “sometimes they hit, and that’s against the rules.” Among other things, his mom used to make him (at FIVE!!) diet and shame him for being “fat.”

In some ways, the Zarkon house almost helped because there food was a necessity that wasn’t always around. Which can also lead to disordered eating, but at least food wasn’t something to be ashamed of.

But more than that, Hunk just likes food.

To this day, every time Hunk makes a meal he enjoys or puts a lot of thought into flavor profiles or texture composition, it’s a little bit of a screw you to his bio mom. 

This is something Hunk enjoys, and that other people enjoy with him, and Hunk refuses to let the nasty voices in his head take that away from him.

He hasn’t really told the others about this, but that’s okay. This form of rebellion is just for Hunk.

And finally...

Shiro got the nickname “Shiro” from the other paladins (of course he did)

Lance had a stutter as a kid, and “Takashi” with the harsh t and k was particularly hard for him to say.

Keith was just somehow convinced that Shiro’s name was “Shiro” and to this day, no one knows how or why (least of all Keith)

Shiro went with “Shiro” to make it easier on Lance and because convincing Keith that that wasn’t his name just wasn’t going to happen.

Hunk and Pidge almost immediately joined in

Shiro hasn’t exactly let go of “Takashi,” but it’s become the name of his very most private self, one very few people have access to. 

Besides, “Shiro” is name of the big brother of Keith, Pidge, Lance, and Hunk, and that’s someone Shiro is proud to be.

He carries a little bit of that with him every time he introduces himself, “Just call me, Shiro. Everyone does.”

Chapter 3 is up!

Excerpt:

Shiro is so focused on staring down the retreating cowards, he almost forgets about the boy they left behind until said boy grabs him around the arm, and it takes every bit of self-mastery Shiro has not to throw him too.

“Dude!” cries the boy. Instead of looking nervous or shaken, his blue eyes are bright with excitement. “That was AWESOME! You were just all like—” The boy’s voice drops “Don’t mess with me—and then you freaking threw him like he was nothing! Where’d you learn to do that? Are you actually human? Wait, no. Are you the Terminator?”

Shiro blinks against the sudden onslaught of words. “Um. I’m Shiro,” he manages. “Who are you?”

[mckinlily]

Give Me a Guide; Give Me a Home

Shiro is just your typical college freshmen, worried about completing his homework, keeping his scholarship...

...and raising his four teenaged siblings he has custody of. It's fine. He's fine. Absolutely nothing is wrong here.

Excerpt:

How Pidge, who had been coding since she was eight, managed to end up in typing class Shiro would never understand, but Pidge had fought him when he tried to move her out of the class, claiming she needed the dedicated “bonding time” with the computers, and Shiro made it a point not to fight battles with her that he wouldn’t win. In any case, he wasn’t surprised Pidge had managed to download whatever messaging app she wanted until the pretense of “typing.”

From: Big Brother Knows All

Tell pidge tough luck. Education is important

Or the high school diploma is at least

Anything I should know about keith before I track him down?

From: Hunk

…I don’t think so? Sometimes school just gets to him

Pidge says “tell shiro to stop being a dad”

But she’s staying in class

apparently she “has plans”

From: Big Brother Knows All

well that’s not ominous

Shiro put Pidge out of his mind. She was always planning something and only fifty percent of the time was it illegal. Keith was currently doing something illegal. Shiro briefly mourned his completed physics homework and ran to the bus station.
