#Trugg Lives

[galraluver]

Can I get a fluffy scenario where Trugg survives her encounter with the anti-Galra chimera and is receiving treatment (and comfort!) from medic!reader? Bonus if she has nightmares and a bit of an animal phobia 👉👈

Sure 😊

________________________________________

The steady beating of a heart monitor was the only sound in the infirmary aside from the occasional sound of quiet footsteps or the sink running while (Y/n) cleaned up a little. She had only one patient in the infirmary room of the ship she worked on, one who was very lucky to be alive; Trugg had been recovered from Ranveig's base and judging by her injuries she'd been attacked by some kind of beast. Whatever it was, it was long gone by the time (Y/n) and her crew had shown up. Trugg had been the only survivor of whatever attacked her and her crew; those who were dead were sent back to their home colonies for proper burials or cremation. (Y/n) had always admired Trugg and it was a huge honor to have been able to save her, although she hoped that she would survive.

Unfortunately the only healing pod had been malfunctioning lately and (Y/n) had to put Trugg on life support, thankfully she'd been taught by her mentor how to heal people the old fashioned way. A couple of days had passed since Trugg was brought to the infirmary and it wouldn't be very long before she woke up, or at least (Y/n) hoped it wouldn't be very long. While (Y/n) cleaned up a few things her ears twitched backwards when she thought that she heard something, but when the young galra woman turned around she saw that Trugg was still asleep. She sighed, then she promptly went back to cleaning some of her medical tools and the counters. Until Trugg woke up (Y/n) had plenty of time to think about how she would greet the commander, what all she would say and how she would explain what happened and how to tell Trugg how she ended up in the infirmary.

When the beast Ranveig had been experimenting on had attacked Trugg, she thought she was as good as dead, especially since it had attacked her first. However, before it could finish her off it saw her crew and went after them, killing each person until it left the base in search of more victims. The first thing Trugg registered was a steady faint beeping sound that seemed to get louder as she regained consciousness, it didn't occur to her that she was in an infirmary until she opened her left eye only to close it again because the lights were too bright; she tried opening her right eye, but it had to be removed due to how damaged it was after the anti-galra chimera attacked her. (Y/n) promptly turned around again when she heard a slight groan, quickly realizing Trugg was finally waking up. She rushed to the bed the commander laid on and patiently waited to see if she could talk; (Y/n) dimmed the lights so Trugg could open her left eye and not get blinded by the lights.

“Commander Trugg; you're awake. Are you able to speak?” (Y/n) spoke calmly so as not to frighten her patient, even though on the inside she was extremely happy that Trugg finally woke up.

“Where am I; how did I get here? And who are you?” Trugg questioned, her throat feeling incredibly dry and scratchy when she spoke.

“You're aboard The Untouchable Bandit, Ma'am; my crew found you laying almost dead in Ranveig's base. My name is (Y/n), I'm a doctor.” (Y/n) answered before she introduced herself to Trugg, the only thing she left out was that she was a part of a crew of neutral galra.

“I can't feel my left leg or my right eye.” Trugg said as she began to feel the rest of her body, except for her missing eye and leg, thinking that they must have still been numb.

“Your left leg was mangled and I had to remove it and your right eye, they couldn't be saved; I'm sorry.” (Y/n) informed her; she understood that it could be hard for someone to lose parts of their body, luckily with time she would be able to replace Trugg's eye and leg with prosthetics.

Trugg just laid there, processing the information she'd been given; she'd already guessed that she no longer had her right eye, but she wasn't expecting to no longer have her left leg. (Y/n) took the opportunity to get a hydration pack out of one of the cupboards along with some of her medical tools so she could give the female commander a quick checkup. Trugg accepted the hydration pack and drank the entire thing quickly, desperately needing its nutrients and to wet her dry throat. She still had a concussion that needed more time to heal and she would most definitely have some ptsd, as well as a possible fear of animals, although (Y/n) planned on taking care of Trugg throughout her entire recovery. After (Y/n) gave Trugg a checkup and told her the diagnosis she accepted the doctor's help; that, and she thought (Y/n) was cute in a way she'd never seen with other galra.

“Thank you.” Trugg muttered when she averted her gaze slightly; she wasn't used to expressing her gratitude for others, but even though she felt awkward to be doing so she wanted to thank (Y/n) for taking care of her.

(Y/n) beamed a smile at Trugg and assured her that she didn't mind helping her throughout her recovery; (Y/n) had a secret crush on the female commander, but she refused to let it get any farther than a little crush because she needed to keep things professional. She went to another cupboard, but instead of grabbing a nutrition bar she got a package of her favorite jerky for Trugg to eat, not wanting her patient to eat something so bland. Trugg thanked her for the snack and ate it without hesitation, her stomach growling in hunger as soon as she smelled the dry meaty scent. Her recovery would be long and she wouldn't be able to walk until her prosthetic leg was finished being made and then attached to the short stump that was left after her real leg had been amputated. Trugg was glad that (Y/n) would be the one who helped her recover, even though she wasn't used to anyone taking care of her.

__________

(Y/n's) original plan was to simply help Trugg recover and then send her on her way after she got used to her prosthetic eye and leg, but during Trugg's recovery time they became close and eventually caught feelings for each other. (Y/n) would have never guessed that Trugg could ever have romantic tendencies towards her until she began courting her after the prosthetics arrived and were installed. Being courted by her favorite commander was (Y/n's) biggest dream, and after they became a couple she was living out her dream. Recovering took a long time and so did getting used to having a prosthetic eye and leg, Trugg was glad that (Y/n) was there for her every step of the way. In the end, she developed a fear of large animals after the incident at Ranveig's base, which was to be expected considering that she'd almost been killed by one; she was fine around small animals, but big ones terrified her.

Panic attacks, flashbacks and nightmares were normal for Trugg; as time went on they didn't happen quite as often, nevertheless when they did happen (Y/n) was there to comfort her. During one night in particular Trugg was having a mixture of a nightmare and a flashback, one that had her paralyzed in her sleep. The nightmare was terrifying, to say the least, and even though Trugg wanted to wake up she wasn't able to. The sight of the chimera in her nightmare was so realistic and so was the memory of its roar, she wasn't aware that she began crying in her sleep. In her nightmare, when the beast charged straight towards her with open jaws Trugg bolted upright and screamed, her eye shooting open while the other one onlined; she startled (Y/n) who had been completely unaware that she'd had a nightmare, and when (Y/n) heard her significant other scream she immediately woke up.

“I'm here, everything's okay.” (Y/n) whispered soothingly when she realized why Trugg had woken up with a scream; she wrapped her arms around her midsection and began purring, hoping to help her calm down.

Trugg took a few deep breaths as she processed where she was and what was going on; the nightmare seemed so real given that it was also a flashback, it took a few minutes for her to get her breathing under control. (Y/n) just sat there, tightly hugging Trugg whilst promising her that she was alright and that she wasn't in danger anymore. The retired commander eventually processed that (Y/n) was hugging her, and that in itself helped her feel better.

“I- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.” Trugg mumbled with a horrified tone, feeling terrible for waking her lover up, and even though a lot of time had passed she still felt guilty for getting her entire crew killed.

“I know, and I'm here for you. Nothing's here to hurt you, and even if it was I would cut it down before it could harm a single hair on your head.” (Y/n) crooned, pressing herself closer to Trugg to comfort her.

Trugg glanced down at her significant other and began to feel a little better, although she was still too frightened to say anything. A few moments later (Y/n) let go of Trugg so they could lay down, only when they did she spooned Trugg from behind so she could continue comforting her. Right before Trugg fell asleep she whispered her gratitude for the comfort, she would always be grateful to have such an understanding lover. (Y/n) wished that there was some way for her to permanently heal her significant other's mind because she disliked having to see her suffer from her trauma, alas all she could do was comfort her when she panicked. Trugg felt safe with (Y/n) spooning her from behind, with her petite girlfriend there to protect her she would always be safe.

Ozar stood to his fully height and held a scowl in Truggs way. His tail snapped out as he stared the commander down. But he did throw Flow a concerned glance. "Are you alright?" He kept a defensive stance infront of her.

Trugg turned and glared at the arrival. Furious that she was caught off-guard like that. And by the looks of it...

"So the lieutenant lives." Renveig stepped forward. "And so do I. How's that scar of yours coming along?" The commander held an amused tone, and a malicious smile.

The time with the Freedom Fighters have proven useful. Allowing then to create a bridge for connections and upperhandfor defense against the occasional galra attack, even if small.

Now things had seemed to settle down, enough so they could begin creating a temporary refuge for their friends, families, those who've lost homes and planets to the empire. As well build more firepower among themselves and their members.

LOTOR AND THE ALTEANS: A SEASON SIX META

[YARRR THERE BE SPOILERS AHEAD!!! YE HAVE BEEN WARNED]

I WISH NETFLIX WOULD LET ME TAKE SCREENSHOTS!!! So I apologize for the lousy quality because all my pictures I had to either find elsewhere or take with my phone. 

Basically I think there’s a lot more to Lotor’s story, and we may find that everything is different than what we are lead to believe. If interested, delve into the madness below the cut. (there’s also a tl;dr at the end)

Let’s start at the beginning - Krolia’s mission.

Kolivan: This base was, until recently, run by a Galra commander named Ranveig, who was developing a super weapon of some sort. We’re not sure of the weapon’s specs, but we do know that it is incredibly powerful. 

Keith: How did we learn all this?

Kolivan: We have a spy in Ranveig’s camp who’s managed to acquire high-level security clearance. Since Ranveig’s departure, it’s possible she assumed control of the base, but we can’t be sure.

Keith: Why not?

Kolivan: We’re not the only ones who know of the weapon. Two Galra factions, led by Commanders Trugg and Ladnok, are at war over the territory. Since their fighting began, all communication has been cut off. We need you to infiltrate the base, extract our spy, and destroy Ranveig’s weapon.

Krolia explains further:

Keith: What is the weapon exactly?

Krolia: Warlord Ranveig intercepted an undocumented shipment of quintessence traveling through his territory. He took it for his own and began experimenting with it. It’s more powerful than any quintessence we’ve received from the empire, and it has some very unexpected effects.

Krolia: We’re going after the enriched quintessence that created Ranveig’s super weapon. I was with Ranveig when an unmarked cargo ship passed into his region. When we checked it out there was no crew aboard. The ship had been nearly torn to pieces, but inside, a single vat of quintessence remained. It was unlike any other quintessence we’ve seen. 

I’m guessing this was a ship of Alteans who were trying to escape or one of Lotor’s crews that helped with the Altean project (there were other Galra present, at least in Romelle’s recount). I believe the void tore the ship apart, and probably destroyed whoever was on board due to the stretching of space time. This ship could have been from thousands of years ago, or just from a week ago when Krolia discovered it. It’s impossible to tell.

The Altean colony is sketch from the get-go. It’s a synthetic environment (terribly similar looking to Allura’s simulation room where she would speak with her father - who was not real, it was a projection of his memories) within a dusty, abandoned-looking station. If Lotor came to this colony frequently, wouldn’t the station be in better shape? Wouldn’t he have some Galra soldiers stationed there? In Romelle’s flashbacks it shows other Galra assisting Lotor in moving Alteans to the other colony, so we know he didn’t work alone.

Keith also immediately says “What is this place??” When they first enter. 

They walk for a little ways (or maybe a good distance? It’s hard to tell) when Keith stops and says he hears something, and it’s Romelle humming. A convenient way to draw them towards her since she wasn’t sitting right next to the door.

The first we see of Romelle she’s cleaning clothes in the river - something that seems very routine and normal in a real environment. But if this is a synthetic environment like it appears to be, Romelle being there is a major red herring. The ONE Altean who doubted Lotor and the ONE Altean who knew the truth (part of the truth?) happened to be the ONE and ONLY Altean that Keith and Krolia see? 

Either the writers wanted to get to the point and keep the story concise, or Romelle is a conveniently placed trap.

Also convenient that NO ONE was around the hangar where they took the Altean pod? And again, no one was on the moon colony either. Keith and Krolia make moves to stealthily enter as if they’re expecting guards or alarms or something, but it seems abandoned.

Lance: Once they reach the quintessence field, then what? The last time anyone got in there, it turned Zarkon evil.

Shiro: Zarkon fell prey to his own evil instincts. The quintesence field didn’t create them, it revealed them. 

This is important to remember that the first time Lotor went into the quintessence field he didn’t turn evil. He seemed like the normal Lotor we know both when he was in the field and when he returned with Allura. Lotor didn’t snap until his second time in the quintessence field AFTER everyone called him a monster and wouldn’t even pause for one second to hear his side of the story. 

In fact, Allura even mentions how quintessence can’t fall into the wrong hands for evil intentions, and Lotor agrees with her.

Lotor: Readings are beyond anything I could’ve imagined. What we do here today will change the course of the universe forever.

Allura: In the hands of the wrong person, this power could easily corrupt.

Lotor: Together, we’ll see that it never does, and continue the work your father started so long ago.

If the quintessence field is supposed to reveal one’s evil intentions, all it did was reveal Lotor’s good intentions. He also brings this back to Altean Alchemy (mentioning Alfor), which I’ll talk about in a bit.

Let’s hear Romelle’s side of the story:

I come from a planet where there are thousands of Alteans. We have lived there since the war with Zarkon began. ... Every Altean child knows the story of how Lotor saved us from destruction. When Zarkon attacked, many were off-planet on trading expeditions. When news spread about the destruction of our home, those of us who remained went into hiding for deca-phoebs. But Lotor, with his deep knowledge of Altean culture, managed to track some of them down. ... To keep the Alteans secure, Lotor hid them on a remote planet beyond the quantum abyss. ... And over time, the Alteans came to worship Lotor as their savior. Generations ago, in an effort to increase our odds of survival, Lotor announced that he was creating another colony far from our own. But in order to do so, he needed to assess which Alteans were viable candidates to survive the journey. One by one, every Altean in the colony was given a series of tests. Those who were deemed fit for the journey were loaded onto a cargo ship and taken to the second colony. It was considered the highest honor. Any communication between the colonies was strictly prohibited for fear it would compromise the other’s location. This was the world I was born into, one of unquestioning devotion to a supposed messiah. My brother Bandor was always faithful, but I had questions. ... Eventually, Bandor grew old enough to be assessed for the journey to the other colony, and he was selected to leave mmediately. ... My brother was dead. I knew the truth, or at least part of it. But I also knew that no one would believe me without proof.

Let’s hear Bandor’s side of the story:

Bandor: Romelle, you were right. Lotor... the other colony... it’s all a lie...

The only thing we can rule out for Bandor’s statement is that the Alteans on the second colony weren’t there/doing things as Lotor explained. What exactly happened with the colony is still a mystery.

Let’s hear Lotor’s side of the story:

Romelle: Lotor is a monster and has been harvesting Altean quintessence for generations!

Allura: An Altean!

Romelle: [Lotor] killed my brother and thousands of others!

Pidge: Lotor has been lying to us the whole time. He’s a murderer, just like his father!

Lotor: You know nothing about what you speak.

Allura: What are they talking about?

Lotor: Allura, listen to me. I’ve dedicated my life to preserving Altean culture. Now that we have unlocked the quintessence field, all of your people, who would have been hunted down long ago had it not been for my intervention, can live in peace. Were some lives lost in the process? Yes. But they were martyrs to a noble cause. I sacrificed a few to preserve the future for millions. Allura, do not let this ruin everything we’ve worked for. Think of what we experienced in the quintessence field.

Lotor doesn’t deny Romelle’s accusations. He admits that lives were lost, but he emphasizes that it was for preserving Altean culture, and preserving the future for millions. It’s also interesting that he says “I sacrificed a few” as opposed to “a few Alteans died” as a result of failed experimentation or whatever. I think if you were trying to preserve a species and ran tests on them and a few died from random variables, I don’t think you would use the word sacrifice.

When Lotor first sees Romelle, it’s a strange look:

He looks more confused than he does shocked. Even a tad fearful. Keith and Krolia didn’t see any other Alteans besides Romelle. The place where they found her looked abandoned, the inside world looked like a simulation. There might not be any living Alteans left, only the ones left in the cryo-tubes that started to resemble Honerva. If this is the case, Lotor would be wondering who the heck Romelle is supposed to be.

Apparently in the 80s version, Haggar disguised herself as Romelle:

And Romelle may not be like Kuron, a puppet so to speak. She could simply be an Altean from this colony as she so claims, but Haggar could have given her false memories the way she did with clone Shiro. Or she might have been preserved via cryotube from back when there WERE Alteans living in the colony, and was just woken up now that the only Alteans left are the ones on the moon in their weakened near-dead state. She could be telling the complete truth as she knows it, but from what we’ve seen I would say there are no Alteans living at the colony. (I’ll address this more further down)

Also interesting that IMMEDIATELY after Romelle confronts Lotor, there is an alert that his generals (who are now working for Haggar) are attacking and then Shiro gets taken over by none other than Haggar.

Again, either the writers wanted to keep the story concise, or somehow Romelle was used to time the attack perfectly.

Honerva: You’ve continued the work I started all that time ago and have indeed seen it to heights I could have only imagined.

Is she referring to his search for knowledge on quintessence, or did she have something to do with the Altean colony as well? This statement is so vague that it opens many possibilities regarding Honerva’s involvement. The conversation that continues is also interesting:

Lotor: My mother ceased to exist when Honerva drew her last breath. Do not believe for a moment that I would ever accept you as kin. You are an abomination. A twisted perversion of what was once so pure and beautiful. The end is near, witch. I know you can sense it. If you beg for your life now, maybe I will take pity on you when the time comes.

Is Lotor being poetic, or did Honerva actually die? What if she was in the same ill-state as Bandor and all the other Alteans and died, and became the “witch” as she is called - and Lotor started or picked up the project of the Altean colony as a way to figure out why Honerva became the way she is? Maybe even as a way to figure out how to return her back to being Altean?

Allura: Then you’re... half Altean?

Lotor: Yes. It was something the Galra considered a weakness, but I consider it a strength. The union between Zarkon and Honerva sparked a technological revolution within the empire. Even back then, Altean culture was remarkably advanced. The kinds of experiments she was conducting she advanced science by eons. 

Allura: How did Haggar get her hands on this?

Lotor: She was constantly seeking Altean magical knowledge that she could pervert for her own power. There must have been things that she was unable to access.

I think it’s safe to say that it’s possible Honerva started the Altean colony. Perhaps Lotor was trying to right her wrongs. Allura even asks how she got her hands on scientific knowledge, and I think it may be more than simply she was once Altean 10k years ago. She probably learned more from the Altean colony.

I think the Altean colony somehow ties back to Honerva, in one shape or another. Whether she started it or Lotor started it because of what happened to her. I think we’re going to learn more about her and how she ties into all of this, since they focused greatly on her trip to Oriande and how she’s reverting back to her Altean form (I don’t think they would have focused on this unless it was important - course it could just be symbolic that Honerva is gaining more power).

I think this all ties back to Altean Alchemy. 

Lotor: I know you have the power within.

Allura: What if I don’t? ... Coran doesn’t have it, Honerva didn’t have it... The truth is, I may not have his abilities either. 

Lotor: You must. There must be a way to carry on the tradition of Altean alchemy.

Allura: That tradition died along with my planet 10,000 years ago. I’ll never be the alchemist my father was.

Why is Lotor so desperate to have Altean Alchemy? I think it ties into the Altean colony, whether he needs the alchemy to save the Alteans or if he needs the alchemy to further his goal, whatever it may be. At the moment it seems Allura is the only hope for there being Altean Alchemy. 

Back to the quintessence Krolia discovered.

What if the quintessence Krolia describes as “more powerful than any quintessence we’ve received from the empire [with] some very unexpected effects” is somehow a form of Altean Alchemy? Sounds kind of like Voltron when Alfor created it - Voltron was more powerful than anything in the universe, and it had the unexpected side effects of the Lions each having their own life force of sorts. 

What if Lotor figured out how to turn Altean Alchemy into pure quintessence?

He picked out Alteans on the colony based on “certain requirements” - I’m betting it was based on whether the individual had the potential for alchemy. As we’ve seen with Allura and Coran, some Alteans have it while others don’t. Whatever Lotor did with the second colony is still uncertain, but whatever it involved it caused them to have this “Altean sickness” (what I shall call the near-dead state with the elongated markings). I think all the Alteans on the moon colony are still alive, however, merely being preserved.

Romelle is a victim.

I suspect that she doesn’t have the whole story but everything she knows - albeit limited - is truth. I think Honerva is using her to further her agenda. Honerva could have even sought Romelle out, seeing that she had doubts about Lotor and thus would be the perfect one to turn Voltron against Lotor.

I’m speculating that Romelle is the last living Altean from the colony (without the Altean sickness) and that she either:

Was kept in cryosleep and recently woken and placed in the colony for Keith and Krolia to find (Honerva could have tabs on Krolia because she was technically working in the empire).

Is a clone of the original Romelle.

Knowing that Honerva was the one who started project Kuron in the first place, it’s not too much of a stretch to say she cloned Romelle as well.

Considering this was a thing that Voltron deleted shortly after, it may be a hint towards this theory. The binary translated to “Kuron.” Some speculated that this might mean that clone Shiro might come back, or that Lotor might even be cloned (apparently he was in the original), but I think it might relate to Romelle.

TL;DR

In summation, I think that:

The Altean colony is dead (possibly has been for many years now), save for the ones preserved on the moon colony.

There is more to Lotor’s story.

Honerva is tied to all of this.

The quintessence has something to do with Altean alchemy, and both have ties to both Lotor and Honerva’s goals.

Romelle is not a spy, but a victim of Honerva (and possibly a clone).

is it okay to write a fic/drabble based on your Cinderella au?? and also, do you have any headcanons for that au? I'm in LOVE!

omg buddy i am so in for that. please go ahead

headcanons you say? well, I am no writer but I may have a few that not exactly follow the original “Cinderella” storyline (just because I can’t see it in myself to kill off Lance’s whole family):

- Lance, when little, came with his dad to a small seaside town, placed near the snow-covered mountains and surrounded by green forests

- his mom died when he was 6, and having 2 brothers and 2 sisters, also being the youngest in the family, he was stood in front of a choice

- the rest of his family stayed behind in Cuba, Lance’s abuelita from his mom’s side not wanting to have anything to do with his father, since she blaimed him for his mother’s death. But Lance’s father was a merchant, and he often traveled to far away lands and countries to obtain unique and exotic things that he could sell right after. Not being wanted there he decided to seek a new life in a new place, one where he always wanted to travel to but didn’t have courage it being so far away

- Lance’s grandparents took in his siblings, and Lance had a choice - to stay with them or to travel with his father

- so he joined him and after a few weeks time they arrived at the small but picturesque seaside town

- Lance’s father found a job in the town and was given a small room for him and his 6, almost 7 year old son to live in, just above the shop

- the boss of the shop was wealthy, being a supplier of exotic textiles, but he got sick and died, leaving behind his wife Honerva and her two teenage daughters - Ladnok and Trugg

- Honerva saw the talent of being a good merchant in Lance’s father and her opportunity to not get in ruin, so she offered him to take on the role his husband lead, and after some time decided to marry him

- Lance never got along with his step-sisters, them being mean and laughing of his a little darker skin and weird accent. Also he was 2 years younger - being a  good to bully and torment when the occassion came

-  His dad never saw that since now being a main merchant he was really busy with his travels. Lance stayed at the store, helping and learning so he couldn’t just join his father as he always wanted to

- When Lance was 18, he got a letter that his father got sick at the journey and passed away not being able to come back alive to his son

- Honerva sent away all the service from the house and the mentally tormented and orphaned boy slowly became a servant to his stepmother and his two step sisters

- he was devastated but the chores made him busy and that’s what he wanted at the moment

- crushed by his “family’s” cruelty, Lance rides off into the woods, where he meets Keith - a palace apprentice, having his hair tied up with a maroon ribbon, dressed in a fancy red jacket and with a kind smile

that’s all I have for now! I hope you’ll find it useful anon 💕

[ganymedesclock]

With the episode that introduced Krolia, I’ve become more interested in the theory that Kolivan is Keith’s grandfather than ever before, because the more that Kolivan talks about emotions, as a character, the more convinced I am that Kolivan is not an unemotional being.

Rather, Kolivan feels very much like he is an emotional person who some of those emotions are regrets. Things he did, things he believed in, things he wanted, that ended very badly.

Before sending Keith after Krolia, Kolivan specifically says that Keith can’t allow his feelings to cloud his judgment, and “Emotions are a luxury we cannot afford.”

That’s suspicious in an obvious way- Kolivan knows that this mission specifically is gonna tug heartstrings for Keith, because he’s sending Keith to rescue Krolia and is aware of that connection.

But it also seems to imply things about Krolia herself, in hindsight- because she’s the one to make an emotional decision (but not necessarily a bad one) for the mission.

And Kolivan also includes himself in this statement. They could have put other Blade members in the scene, even in the background, but they made a clear point of this is something Kolivan discusses with Keith alone.

So what exactly is the emotion here Kolivan feels like he can’t afford? We know that he worries after members of the Blade- he’s the one who panics and assumes the worst when Thace doesn’t check in. He grieves Antok, he bodily tries to drag Keith to safety in s4e1 and when it doesn’t seem like that works, he visibly mourns Keith, as well.

Every cold thing Kolivan says about moving on in the face of others’ sacrifice is him trying to steel himself for losses that hurt him anyway. And when he sends Keith after Krolia, he makes it clear that the area is in civil war, communications are down. Krolia herself calls the situation a risk.

But I feel like there’s something more here. Kolivan pressing his personal philosophy about emotions being dangerous things to let run loose here specifically because this is going to inevitably be an emotionally-charged experience for Keith, reuniting with his absent mother, but Kolivan seems to be suggesting there’s something he can’t afford to let himself feel about Krolia.

A parent’s concern for their child, perhaps- which is shown in the episode itself to be a big issue since Trugg is able to get the weapon codes by taking Keith as a hostage. Krolia had leverage on Ranveig’s base and enough inside knowledge to get Trugg killed 

The scene with Kolivan talking to Keith is put directly after the whole team having a heartfelt goodbye to Sam Holt and the vast majority of them talking about family- Lance, Hunk, Pidge and Matt- Shiro just talks about Iverson which raises some questions if he has living relatives (and where Iverson is in his esteem, since his message for Sam to give to Iverson was awfully playful and informal for Shiro, and we know Iverson calls him “Shiro” rather than something less personal like “Takashi” or “Shirogane”)

And then it cuts directly to Kolivan alone with Keith.

And then with the mission itself they show us Keith’s blade mask a lot...

the mask that specifically has a lot of the same marks and shapes on it as Kolivan’s.

If Kolivan is Keith’s grandfather, Krolia’s father- it makes some really interesting implications about his relationships with both of them. Especially because Kolivan had no idea who Keith was until Krolia’s blade awakened in his hands and the first conclusion Kolivan makes is what this means about Keith’s bloodline. He says that Keith has to have galra blood... but given whose sword that is, that Krolia’s able to recognize her own weapon at a glance, it’s pretty sure Kolivan was thinking a lot more specifically about whose blood that is.

And this business about Kolivan and emotions is a handy explanation of why he’d stay quiet on this so long, and why he’d send Keith to Krolia now.

Because Kolivan is an emotional being. He also thinks they’re dangerous.

If he tells Keith about Krolia- Krolia’s spying under the nose of one of the most dangerous people in the empire. She can’t be extracted. But if Keith knows his mother is out there, in danger... he’s not going to rest easily. If there’s one thing Kolivan can observe from Keith, watching his trial and the suit’s mindscape, it’s that Keith is desperate for connections.

And Krolia herself? Given that she got Trugg and Trugg’s lieutenant ripped to pieces by a monster with seemingly little remorse because of their threatening Keith, she’s not exactly going to be the levelheaded senior agent knowing her son is out there in harm’s way. 

In Kolivan’s mind, the only possible way to keep Keith and Krolia focused is to hold that information until it’s necessary. Don’t give them something else keeping them worried and distracted in this situation.

Because if you’re a spy- having anything or anyone that your enemies can use against you as leverage is dangerous. And Kolivan leads the Blade. What does that mean if Krolia or Keith is on the line and he has to make that call to surrender their cause or important objectives or lose them?

It’s not right of Kolivan to stay closemouthed about Krolia, and, if he’s Krolia’s father, his own connection with Keith- but it makes perfect sense to his own worldview, especially because Kolivan is unsubtly conflicted in this regard. No matter how distant he tries to hold himself, he cares about Keith, he cares about Krolia, and it’s very obvious he worries about them both.

I really doubt Kolivan sticks so closely to every new Blade on their missions the way he tends to with Keith. And we know that so far no other Blade we’ve seen has the exact same diamond shape on the center of the nose except Kolivan and Keith. (and if Krolia’s mask has it as well... let’s say I’m gonna be really suspicious)

But also, it raises some big questions. Did Krolia tell Kolivan about her kid (or, kids, if we factor in Acxa here)? It’s possible since Kolivan didn’t know Keith was a galra at first he assumed that Keith might have stolen the blade from whoever Krolia really left it with, but, considering how much Keith and Krolia resemble each other, you’d expect Kolivan to be at least a little suspicious before the blade confirms it.

Scales and Feathers

How will the team react when they find out Lance may not be as human as they thought he was?

(Read it below or on AO3 here!)

Lance’s mother had always told him and his siblings of the Haepuyx people. These were the aliens who forced their family off their home planet. They were the reason Lance has lived on Earth for most of his live. She described them as very tall, lanky beings with four arms and pale skin colors of green, blue, and purple. Lance’s family were of the Vypsalae people, who are kind of like a mix between humans, fish, and birds. They have scales scattered across their cheeks, arms, legs, and back. In the center of their back lies a pair of wings to match their hair color, and their ears are longer and more pointed than those of a human.

As soon as a day after arriving on Earth, he was warned to shapeshift his body to look like all the others on this strange new planet. When he asked why he wasn’t allowed to look like himself, he was told that “humans just wouldn’t understand.” This seemed to be the answer to all of his questions about their new home.

Lance was only ten when he was forced to leave his home and friends of Vypsalae. He was so frightened that day, and all he could remember was the fire, explosions, and yelling. There was so much noise.

The only thing his mother would tell him of that day was that his father didn’t make it.

Lance’s mother and siblings wanted to forget about it all and start a new life for themselves on Earth, but he thought of that as giving up and letting those monsters win. He couldn’t let that happen. So he decided to join the Garrison because he thought if he was able to go into space, get closer to the stars, then maybe he would have a chance to get revenge on those who harmed his family and took away his home.

That was where he met Hunk, his first human friend. Because he wasn’t very fond of humans at first, Lance was always very secluded at school and never talked to many people. But Hunk was different. He was kind, never judgmental, and always tried to include Lance.

---

Lance was very excited when the five of them found the blue lion and headed off into space. He knew humans were very far behind in space travel, so he thought he’d never get a chance to get his revenge. He was also surprised when he realized that Voltron actually existed. He always thought it was a legend, a fairytale. That’s what everyone on Vypsalae seemed to think.

Lance was also sure that the Alteans had all been killed off by the Galra under Zarkon’s rule. But he gained an idea of what really happened to them when Allura said they were in cryo-sleep for ten thousand years.

When Sendak invaded the castle and Lance was hurt by the explosion, he was absolutely terrified during his few moments of consciousness. It brought back the painful memories of the day he left his home planet. There were so many loud explosions that day, and he thought he was back there.

When lance woke up from the healing pod, he was surprised to find that the team didn’t find out he wasn’t human. He had healing pods on his home planet and had an idea of how they worked. He thought they would find out he was in a shapeshifted form, but none of them seemed to notice. Even Coran, who had set up the healing pod, appeared clueless to what lance really was. Well, his mother did mention that their shapeshifting abilities were very strong. He guesses this is what she meant.

Lance began to work with the team to save other aliens from Zarkon’s rule. His own planet couldn’t be saved, it was too late. But that didn’t mean it was too late to help those who could be. He would’ve wanted a team like Voltron to help him all those years ago, so that’s what he did.

He decided not to tell the team what he really was, he was just scared of what their reactions might be. He had no idea what the Alteans thought of Vypsalae. Maybe they didn’t even know anything of his planet. He couldn’t bring himself to tell any of them, though.

Not even after they all found out Keith was part Galra.

He felt so pathetic and weak for not being able to tell them even after all their time together. They became more than just his team. He grew to love them as a family.

---

After the team discovered that the Shiro they found in a small rebel spacecraft was a clone, it didn’t take much time at all for Lance to save the real Shiro from the Galra once again. Pidge checked the information in his arm that time to make sure it was really him. When it was confirmed that he was, they all warmly welcomed him back. Shiro personally thanked Lance for going back to the astral plane to investigate after his clone said he didn’t remember saying anything to Lance there. If Lance didn’t go back there, they probably never would have found the real Shiro.

The two of them grew closer after that, even closer than the rest of the team. They started dating only weeks after Shiro was rescued, when he gave Lance a “thank-you” kiss.

And that leads us to our current situation.

After a particularly rough battle with Trugg’s forces, Allura decided they needed to find a place to repair the castle. They found a planet nearby, one that the Allura was not familiar with. Coran recognized it and explained how he once visited it as a child with his father. “The inhabitants here are the most generous beings I have ever met!” he explained. Lance thought nothing of it until they landed and saw the people up close.

They were all very tall and had four arms.

Wait.

Wait.

They’re on Haepuyx.

These were the aliens who had attacked Lance’s planet, his family. The whole reason why he joined the garrison. The whole reason why he lived on Earth. And they were only six feet away. Coran said the people of this planet were nice.

They must have been completely different ten thousand years ago.

“I apologize for our sudden intrusion, but this was the closest planet we could find. You see, we are the paladins of Voltron. I’m not sure if you’ve heard of us, but we are in need of a place to stay and make repairs for a few quintants.” Allura spoke in a calm, diplomatic voice. “I’d also like to discuss forming an alliance with you.”

“Yes, we have heard of Voltron. It’s a pleasure to meet you and it would be an honor to discuss an alliance.” The Haepuyxian who greeted them had pale green skin and stands stiffly with his hands folded behind his back.

Lance was starting to get nervous. What if they find out who he really is?

Hunk leans in towards Lance and asks in a hushed voice, “You okay, dude?”

“Yeah. The last battle was just really tiring. I’m fine.” He gives Hunk a reassuring grin. It’s not a complete lie. None of them had much of a chance to sleep between escaping Trugg’s forces and arriving here. Hunk seems to believe him and continues to listen to the discussion between Allura and the Haepuyxian.

“I will notify the king of your arrival. Princess Allura, please accompany me to the royal palace. Any of you are welcome to join us, but I’m afraid we will not be able to begin our discussion with the king for another varga or so.”

Keith steps protectively towards Allura. “I’ll go with you.”

The alien nods, “The rest of you may feel free to tour our lovely home. He can show you around.” He gestures to a blue alien who looks way too excited about showing them the city. He then began walking off towards the center of the city, where the royal palace is, with Allura and Keith.

Coran began to explain what he remembered of the planet to the remaining paladins, which was basically only Lance and Shiro since Hunk and Pidge were busy fawning over some high-tech hovering car. “My favorite part of my stay here was the beautiful gardens! If I remember correctly, some of the herbs grown here can actually be used for-”

He was cut off by the enthusiastic blue Haepuyxian. “Now then, who would like to join me on a tour of our beautiful city?” he asked in an overexcited tone. He then noticed Hunk and Pidge and approached them. “Ah, it seems that you two have good taste in machinery! I can show you around the city in here, if you’d like?”

Lance is pretty sure that Pidge and Hunk literally got sparkles in their eyes at the question. “Yes!” they answer in unison. The alien pulled the two of them by their arms and into the car before Lance could even comprehend what was happening, leaving him, Coran, and Shiro behind.

Lance contemplated the situation for a minute. He came out here in the first place to get revenge. But now that he was here, he had no idea how to do that. Even if he did, he couldn’t because they needed to have the paladins’ trust so they could stay for repairs.

But maybe the people here changed.

It’s been about eight years since they attacked his planet. That didn’t seem like enough time for a species to change their ways.

Nope, it’s definitely not enough time.

But there was still a chance that could be the case. Besides, he doesn’t need to worry right now. They probably wouldn’t find out he’s a Vypsalae at all if they hadn’t by now.

Lance was then brought back to the present. He recalled that blue alien interrupting Coran and felt bad for the man “Fine!” he yells in the direction of where the hovering car had gone, “I didn’t want to go on that dumb boring tour anyway!” and Shiro chuckles at that.

Coran’s eyes light up. “Would you like to go on the limited-time Coran tour instead?”

“Of course! I bet it’ll be way better!”

“Excellent! And you, Shiro?” he turns to the man in question.

“Sure, it sounds fun. Thanks, Coran.” Shiro smiles as Coran orders them to follow him, taking Lance’s hand in his.

---

About an hour later, Allura sends a message to Coran’s and the paladins’ communicators stating that they should all head for the palace in the center of the city.

“There’s actually a barrier around the royal palace that stops all magic while inside! It’s to make sure there are no disguised spies or any other dangerous magic, to keep the royal Haepuyxians safe.” Coran explained. “While inside, Allura and I will not be able to use our magic and none of your bayards can be transformed.”

Shit.

Lance’s shapeshifting ability relies on his magic.

“Coran, isn’t that dangerous for us? What if we need them?” Shiro asks.

“Oh, there will be no problem! These people are very peaceful and we should have nothing to worry about.”

As they get closer, they notice that the rest of the team is already waiting outside for them along with the green Haepuyxian who had greeted them and one who has purple skin, who Lance assumes is the king because he dresses much more elegantly than anyone else there. The barrier around the palace is light blue.

Great. Lance really needs an excuse to get out of there.

But it’s too late, they’ve reached the barrier and he stops walking right in front of it. Shiro, who was still holding Lance’s hand, stops and turns to him. “What’s wrong?”

“I’m not feeling well!” he blurts out too loudly. Everyone is looking at him now. “Uh.. I’d really rather go back to the castle.” It’s true, he feels sick to his stomach because he’s so close to being found out.

“Lance.” Allura approaches him, “Can you please try to wait until the end of the meeting? This is important, and it shouldn’t last too long anyways. You do not have to stay afterwards for the socializing.”

“I-I really think I need to go back to the castle now.” He repeats.

Shiro looks at him suspiciously. He looks at the barrier and then back to Lance. “…Is there something you’re not telling us?”

He’s caught on.

He didn’t want them to find out, especially like this.

Shiro lets go of his hand and stands in front of him. “Is there a reason you don’t want to pass through the barrier?”

He looks down to the ground and stares at his feet. He gives a stiff nod. He’s getting tears in his eyes now. Why is he so pathetic?

Allura speaks up again, “Lance, if you are not really… human, then that’s alright. We will not be angry. We are only surprised and a bit hurt that you did not tell us.”

“Yeah! You’re my best buddy. I could never be mad at you for this.” Hunk chimes in.

“I just…” Pidge speaks up, “I wish you wouldn’t have hid who you really were, especially after the whole thing with Shiro’s clone.”

Keith steps closer. "If this is really true, then I'm not mad. When I first started thinking that I was Galra, I didn't tell anyone. If Shiro wasn't there when it was confirmed by the Blade, I never would have told you guys." He reaches out and puts a hand on Lance’s shoulder. "Our situations are different since I knew that Allura, Coran, and Shiro had a bad past with the Galra. But I can still understand why you wouldn't tell us.” Lance looks up at him and Keith gives him a small smile, which Lance returns.

“Thanks, Mullet.”

Keith’s smile disappears at that and he hits Lance on the shoulder. “Bonding moment over.”

Lance lets out a little laugh, and then it’s quiet. There’s a tense silence until Shiro speaks again. “I kid of understand what Keith is saying, but I’m upset that you didn’t tell us something this big. Do you not trust us? Do you not trust me?”

Lance looks into his eyes. “Of course not! I do trust you, all of you. I just didn’t know what Alteans thought of my planet. I didn’t want them to be mad at me.”

“Well now you know that they won’t be mad.” Shiro looks to Allura and Coran and they nod. “Come on, we’ve wasted too much time out here now.” He takes Lance by the wrist and starts walking to the barrier. Lance tries to pull away but Shiro’s grip is too strong.

“Wait, Shiro! You don’t understand! I can’t-” It’s too late. They’ve passed the barrier now and a white light surround him. Shiro steps back and watches as Lance’s body transforms.

Blue scales appear on his face, his ears stretch longer. The rest is covered by is paladin armor, but The Haepuyxians can tell what he is by just looking at his face. The green alien yells something, but Lance can’t make out hat the words are over his panic.

Two guards are suddenly on either side of him and holding his arms. Lance sees a group of more guards pushing Shiro and the rest of the team outside of the barrier, and suddenly it’s solid. They all knock as hard as they can trying to break the it open, but it doesn’t work.

The king is in front of him now and talks in a low, angry voice. “You dirty Vypsalae are not welcome here.” It’s all he says before he’s walking behind Lance and pulling his top paladin armor off. Lance feels as his flight suit is torn, and without any warning, the king begins to pull his back scales out, causing him to cry out in pain. Lance feels blood pour from where each scale was, and the pain is unbearable.

He tries to attack them by harshly flapping his brown wings, trying anything he can to get away because the pain is just too much.

He can hear his team scream and cry for them to stop hurting him, please!

A loud roar is heard from the skies and Lance looks up to see Blue is there directing her sonic canon to the barrier. He doesn’t think it will work at first since Coran said that magic was useless inside of it, but then it’s shattered and the team is rushing towards him with their bayards at the ready.

It isn’t until Shiro kneels in front of him that he realizes the guards are gone and the king is no longer pulling his scales out of his back. Shiro is talking to him and looks worried, but Lance can’t hear him over the blood rushing to his ears. He feels too weak now, and falls to the ground.

He hears someone shouting his name, probably Shiro, and then he’s being lifted into warm arms. The last thing he hears before he loses consciousness is Shiro yelling for Coran to follow them him back to the castle.

---

Lance wakes up with a pained groan. He opens his eyes and notices that he’s back in the castle medical bay and laying on a cot.

“Oh, he’s awake!” is the first thing he hears, and then he sees Hunk rush to his side from the opposite side of the room where he was talking with Coran and Shiro in hushed voices. He sits on a stool at the left of Lance. “How are you feeling?”

“In pain.” He responds, but then realizes something. He’s still in an agonizing amount of pain even though he’s in the med bay. Shouldn’t they have healed him? Do they not want to because he lied about what he was?

Coran walks over with a sad smile on his face and stands next to Hunk. “I’m sorry about that, my boy. We can’t put you in a pod at the moment because our repairs still aren’t complete. We have to heal you the old-fashioned way for now.”

“Oh… where is everyone?”

“Allura, Keith, and Pidge are still at the palace.” Shiro answers as he walks towards the cot. “Everything settled down and Allura is having an argument with the king.” He stands on Lance’s right and takes his hand in his, giving it a gentle squeeze.

It’s quiet for a minute until Lance starts to tear up. “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I should’ve told you all sooner. I just-”

“Hey, it’s okay. It’s okay.” Shiro says in a quiet, soothing voice. He rubs his thumb across the back of Lance’s hand. “We aren’t mad.”

Hunk grabs ahold of his other hand. “Yeah, not at you. We are mad at those other aliens though.”

“…Besides,” Shiro says with a growing smirk on his face. “You’re really pretty like this. Your scales are beautiful. And your wings!”

Lance feels his cheeks heat up at the compliment and it causes Shiro to laugh.

“Can you fly?” Hunk asks in an excited, child-like tone.

Lance looks at him with a straight face and says, “No. These are just for decoration.”

Hunk huffs. “Oh, shut up."

what are some of your personal favorite keith fics?

Oooh, so, okay, a while back I got this same question, and I answered it here, so you can find a handful of awesome Keith fics in that post. And it seems now it’s time for Round Two. So, some fantastic Keith fics you should check out:

Pressure Points by prettyshiroic (AnalystProductions)

This is just a very bittersweet sort of bonding moment between Keith and Hunk while Keith is off with the Blade. They get a quiet heart-to-heart that really drives home how difficult it is for Keith to be away from his family team.

Remember Me by justheretobreakthings

This one’s a WIP, so I don’t know how things are going to ultimately play out or whether it’s gonna have a happy ending or anything, but I’ve been keeping a close eye on this one. It is just a gigantic pile of Keith angst with a big supernatural mystery going on in the background and it’s beautiful.

Your Extraction Mission Became Mine by Callaeidae3

So this fic is a what-happened-instead story for Bloodlines in Season 5. Here, when Trugg’s got Keith at gunpoint and strikes a deal with Krolia, it ends up going very, very badly. Lots of suspense and action and everybody fretting over my son. Love it.

Packs And Dens And Mother Hens by WritingWren

This is the first of a series of stories in the ‘Dads of Marmora’ category of VLD fics, where the members of the Blade (who are not dead thank you very much) act as surrogate parents and family to Keith. It’s just a very cute dynamic and this writer does an excellent job with it.

Connect by Bandity

So what we have here is a Keith sickfic, in which Keith becomes gravely ill after going to a quarantined area to help care for sick aliens. I really enjoy seeing Keith selflessness put in the spotlight like this, and his self-sacrificing ways just make me want to give him all the hugs in the universe.

Out of the Desert by rosemaryandtime

Another WIP, so you’ll get to follow along reading the new updates as I do. This is a pre-canon fic about Shiro meeting Keith when assigned to be his mentor at the Garrison, and how their bond grows. The dynamic between these two is so sweet, and, as a bonus, the Holt family features prominently and is fantastic.

Elementary by LittleWhiteTie

We’re all aware that Keith and Allura aren’t exactly close in canon, and we don’t get to see many real good moments between them. This fic helps to fill that gap in our lives. Allura has to be the one to comfort and protect a sick and hurting Keith, and it’s honestly kinda heartwarming.

Where the Wild Things Lurk by BlackFriar

Horror is one of those genres that is so tricky to get right, and so every time I come across a horror story that strikes genuine fear for me, it becomes a favorite of mine. This story succeeds magnificently, and gives me some extremely intense action and suspense that gets my adrenaline pumping.

by museaway

When Matt and Sam Holt crash-land a year after the failed Kerberos mission, they return without their pilot.

Shiro is declared dead, but Keith, newly minted paladin of the Black Lion, refuses to believe it. After months with no leads, his reckless attitude has compromised the struggling team, and Keith is ready to accept his failure as a leader—until he spots what he thinks is a photo of Shiro on a Galra ship that ultimately leads him to the Blade of Marmora.

(As Slav might say, this is the universe where Keith and Shiro meet a little earlier, fall in love a little differently, and Ulaz lives.)

Have an active discord account. This is so we can communicate easier. If you don’t know what discord is, go make one. It’s free.

Knows your Galra. Knows the name of obscure / background Galra. Yeah, we’ll be quizzing you.

_________________________________________

~ Trugg ~

~ Trugg doesn't mind that you're a higher rank that she is

~ It makes following orders easier because she knows that it makes you happy when she does

~ With you being in a higher rank, you have access to better quarters and better food; which makes it better because you can have her live and eat with you

~ You might be in a higher rank, but Trugg is still the dominant one in the relationship

~ Sendak ~

~ Sendak is a little bothered that you have a higher rank than him, but he still loves you

~ He gets a tiny bit annoyed when he has to follow orders from you, but he still follows through

~ Sometimes you give him easy orders like giving you hugs when you really want a hug and he's not in a hugging mood

~ Even though you have a higher rank Sendak still doms you in the bedroom

~ Lahn ~

~ Lahn doesn't like it that you're a rank higher than he is, but he still loves you and is supportive

~ He believes that you should be living in a colony on an Empire owned planet where it's safe

~ He gets slightly embarrassed whenever he has to follow orders, but he does so anyway

~ Despite you being in a higher rank, he's still the dominant one in the relationship
