Like, Right now i only really have Vibes for Aetius and Serapis instead of anything approaching a story.

Aetius is a hyper, bouncy, constantly moving Cat™ guy who causes problems on purpose without any thought for the consequences and then is very upset when those consequences (big or small) come for him.

Serapis is a slow and deliberate maze beast. A classic minotaur guarding his maze and taking great pleasure in the constant battles he finds himself in. He's very cool and level headed. A bit brusque but kind to the other monsters within his maze.

Their energies work well together but neither of them really work on their own, Aetius is annoying without Serapis, and Serapis is boring without Aetius, so splitting them up at any point within the story is a no.

Which is a problem because Serapis doesn't have any desire to leave the maze and Aetius is too scared of what might be beyond the wall to have much interest in leaving either. So neither would intentionally quest to see the outside world and there's no quests to be had within the walls other than their long established routines of guarding their dens and killing any who come too near.

Which makes me think that instead of having them quest to leave, they should be trying to return home to the maze. Maybe they're captured for one reason or another. A minotaur to guard and a sphinx to keep around as yard decor or something. They escape before Aetius can be slaughtered for his pure gold pelt and are now in the typical "long way from home" plot. Only with the added risk that comes with being a big bull monster and a guy who is very visibly actual gold.

And idk. That's just Boring to me for some reason. Maybe it's because I see them as being already established as a couple by then, but if they weren't I doubt either would have stopped to help the other as a stranger or passing acquaintance when their own skin was on the line.

They could be forced to leave by some curse or disease. Off to go find a cure for themselves or the maze. but that feels bleh.

I'm going to sleep on it, but i think the issue I'm having is neither of them want more than they have because neither of them Know there is more to be had.

okay so, just some polite musing on necromancer au 

I’m thinking that, after all the time Hunk and Shiro spend together, they get very close. Lots of intamite moments with Hunk soothing over Shiro’s stitches with lotions he invented just for Shiro. Talking about his powers and working together to figure things out. And Hunk learning how to make shiro laugh and listening more than anyone does. And Shiro learns about the things not even lance knows about Hunk. maybe I just like this ship whoops

Shiro won’t date anybody during his half life state. And even though Keith does have feelings for him (working closely with shiro for the past year when he had nobody else in his life to have any sort of friendly relationship? hard not to develop a crush on such a great guy tbh) nothing comes of it between them. Afterwards though? 

later keith lets his feelings for shiro go as he becomes more capable of handling his own feelings and talking to people. Also he can’t stop thinking about what a giant nerd lance and shit when did he get attractive

Keith getting some tattoos homies. Just think about keith getting some bitchin’ tattoos. Sigils to prevent possession and sigils that help him influence spirits and keep himself awake for days when he needs to (shiro protests these greatly). That can be removed but usually only by keith himself. But he also has actual tattoos.

Keith has a ruby pendant in the shape of a lion that holds a powerful demon he’s still trying to get rid of, but eventually they make a deal and she helps him in return for being able to be let out of the damn thing once in a while. Ends up saving his sorry reckless butt several times.

Lance totally almost got drowned by the people of the Mer and almost swallows a tiny little mercat. Coughs up the little wriggle puss and feels really bad about it and hunk helps nurse her back to health. Despite being a fish, getting fed a good diet of some Fae magic gives her the ability to drag herself around on land- though Lance prefers to carry her around. She chews on his hair- though she gets too big to carry around pretty fast.

Shiro rescues a powerful spirit- a black sphinx- from Zarkon at some point. She’s the Queen and she’s very hard to handle. Eats Shiro’s clothes, tears up pidge’s machines and chases lance around and treats keith like a helpless kit. Hunk she allows to brush her and tend to her wings but eventually Shiro takes a more active role in caring for her too. 

Pidge builds a lion body for a powerful spirit that wants a more corporal form. It insists on armor, green armor.

Hunk was just looking for some food to show Allura that any kind of algae- magic or not- was not good for human consumption but he found the tiiiiiiiniest itsy bisty little ball of yellow floof that could fit easily in pidge’s hand at the market place. It was stuck under something that looked liked tree bark and it got very attached to him very quickly. Turns out The ancient stone lion spirit needed a good heart to attach itself too.

Each of the lion spirits bring something to the fight for the throne and Allura is very grateful to them as well. She gives each of them means to walk freely between this ethereal world and the human world to see their humans freely- yes even red.

Red totally ships lance and keith and conspires with the other lions to get these losers together. Black acts indifferent but she she very very very interested in screwing with them all and blue and yellow just want their goofy hairless kittens to be happy. green is also quite happy to help because she and red just like causing mischief.
