#matt holt voltron fanfic

[kidgeygirl]

It's been many, many years since I've written anything for Voltron, but here I am. Despite many complaints, my heart has always been stuck on our favorite red and green duo. Lately, I've been back in the fandom, and now that I've matured into early adulthood, I've decided to try and find the perfect way to write them post war, but realistically (or at least, semi-realistically).

I honestly don't know how many people are still in this fandom, but I will regret not sharing my thoughts (internal storyline that has slowly been building up since forever.) so here I am. :)

Anyways, if anyone reading this is interested, here are some things to know.

I'm a slow updater, and I very much hate most of the stuff I write. So please bear with me as I navigate this story to how I envision it.

This is not my main account, this is strictly a Voltron/Kidge account, so I'm not expecting a lot of traction— however, at times this might cause a hit at my confidence, despite knowing that fact. So again, bear with me.

I'm a compliment girlie. If you read this story once it's out and like it, please let me know. It will help me in the long run and encourage me to keep this going.

I don't remember everything about Voltron as I haven't watched it fully in years, so I'm going to rewatch all of it before writing. (Don't worry, I don't have too much of a busy life right now besides babysitting.) So this story won't be right away, but I will be writing down scenes/passages while writing. I might even create a few one shots, behind the scenes stuff you won't see in the story, to give you some extra Kidge.

SOME THINGS ABOUT THE STORY—

Shadows of Azar ~ When Keith and the Blades, a group of elite warriors, reach out to Katie for assistance on a critical mission, they discover that their past bond is far from forgotten. As they face danger, betrayal, and the weight of the universe, their connection reignites into something even more profound. Secrets unravel, alliances shift, and the line between duty and personal loyalty blurs. Amidst the chaos of battle, Keith and Katie find themselves drawn together, their shared history woven into every decision they make.

But this isn't just about saving the universe; it's about saving each other. As they navigate treacherous terrain, they confront their own vulnerabilities, fears, and desires. Keith, haunted by his past, seeks redemption. Katie, brilliant and determined, grapples with the sacrifices she's made for her family. Together, they forge a new path—one that transcends duty and becomes a testament to resilience, trust, and love.

As the Blades' mission unfolds, Keith and Katie must confront not only external threats but also the complexities of their emotions.

After the battle is won, will they embrace this newfound connection and ignite a brilliant flame together, or will it consume them—reducing everything they’ve cherished to ashes?

————

Ages— Keith 25, Katie (Pidge) 21

————

Here, we find that Pidge goes more by 'Katie'. Only the ones closest to her call her Pidge. (Family, Paladins.)

———

Allura is alive!!

———

Ships— Kidge. Allurance. Hunk&Shay. Shiro and Curtis. Matt and V.

———

This is a slow burn!! (In a way). It's not a large storyline, as I'm not planning to be a whole book. Kind of more of a mini series. (I haven't decided how many chapters, so maybe it'll change.)

This is told in Third POV, but you can tell when it switches its focus from Katie and Keith.

Heyy can I get a Matt Holt x Shiros sister reader who’s like best friends with Pidge?? Thank you!!

This is such a specific request, plz IM OBSESSED PLZ this is too cute I can’t. Thank you again anon! I’m feeling so confident in my writing with all these requests I’ve been getting. AH Thank you all sm for being patient with meeeee 🥹❤️‍🔥 love y’all so much fr

I’m doin headcanons, hope that’s chill 🤷🏻

Ps: THIS IS SO LONG IM SORRYYYYY

Y’all for sure met through Shiro. Shiro introduced you to Matt and the rest of the Holt family long before they even knew they’d be going to Kerberos together.

Instantly, you and Pidge clicked, besties for the resties. You weren’t necessarily as smart as she was but you were always so curious and interested in what she was in to.

You and Pidge became really close considering you were only two years older than her. And because Matt and Pidge were always very close, y’all became the three amigos real fast.

Matt always enjoyed your company, he thought you were funny and kind and open minded. He liked you but he always felt like you were more of Pidge’s friend than his friend.

Only a couple months after meeting the Holts, Shiro noticed they were all you’d ever talk about. He also noticed how differently you spoke about each of the siblings.

When you talked about Pidge, it was like you were talking about a super hero, some cool cosmic thing that’s almost too hard to even explain.

But when you’d talk about Matt, big bro Shiro could tell you had a crush from the get go. When talking about him, you’d say his name a lot and you couldn’t even look at Shiro, a smile would poke at the corners of your lips and you’d look down at your lap awkwardly. And Shiro’s like 😏

Because of your close friendship with Pidge, you tried very hard to push your feelings down and just look at Matt as a friend. I mean he is your friend after all. Let’s just keep it that way.

When Shiro got the news of the Kerberos mission approval, you were the first person he told, just before he told Adam. And of course you were excited!!! Your big brother is going TO SPACE OMFGGGG

You def cried…a lot. And hugged him…a lot.

I have to mention…being Shiro’s sibling means being Keith’s sibling. You two are Keith’s chosen family for sure. So you were a big comfort to Keith upon hearing that Shiro would be gone for a while.

The next time you saw Matt, you were sure to congratulate him with an excited smile and a big hug. This was your first time hugging him and it was so nice, it was soft and innocent and warm. You couldn’t wait to do it again.

Matt, Sam and Shiro had many Kerberos meetings at the Holt family home and Shiro would always bring you along. The next several months before the mission were spent with Pidge as you both sneak around to eavesdrop and peak in on the Kerberos mission plans.

The day they left, you cried and hugged Shiro and Matt A LOT. You were a mess, an excited and proud mess tho.

Before he left, Matt told you to take care of his sister while he was gone and you promised him you’d look after her. He told you he was very relieved to know that you would keep Pidge company while he was away. And he knew Pidge would be good company to you while Shiro was gone.

When news of the failed mission came to you, you broke down, you were a mess. You were worried about your brother and your best friend’s brother. Poor Pidge has lost two family members. You couldn’t even imagine how Keith felt…and he disappeared soon after. You had lost both of your brothers in the same instance.

From that moment on, you followed Pidge everywhere and were her biggest supporter and protector. You had to keep your word to Matt to protect his sister and you also wanted to help Pidge in hopes of getting your own brother back.

When Pidge got into the garrison, you began visiting her almost every night. You’d slip through a broken part of the fence or carefully climb over the barbed wire at the top and meet her on the rooftop. You two had spent too many hours to count up there searching for a sign of Matt, Sam and Shiro.

Eventually, you found yourself watching Shiro crash land to Earth and you caught a glimpse of Keith running to save him. You couldn’t help but run in to help as well. Shiro would probably scold you two about putting yourselves in danger later but saving him was just too important.

It felt like you had closed your eyes for mere seconds and when you opened them again, you found yourself in the castle of lions with your brothers, best friend and a couple other garrison cadets. It all happened so fast, one moment you were helping bring Shiro back to Keith’s little hide away and the next you were watching everyone become paladins of voltron.

You didn’t even get the chance to cry or enjoy Shiro’s return, you were thrown straight into a galactic war.

Being the one person who wasn’t a Paladin, you found yourself helping Coran around the castle a lot and training to protect yourself in case you were ever thrown into battle. If you weren’t with Coran or in the training room with Keith, you were always by Pidge’s side. She was your best friend after all.

Often times, you went to Shiro for advice and to vent about your fears and worries and stress. He is so good to you, he always offers you the warmest hugs and gentle pats on the back and when you’re really upset, he’ll kiss your cheek and give you a big smile.

Other than that, you and Shiro often did your own things. You hung out with Pidge way more than you did with Shiro and he didn’t mind it. He was happy you had a best friend as wise and kind as Pidge. Lord knows you don’t have many other friends.

And there’s Matt…he was always a good friend to you. A fantastic friend even. And so in addition to always siding with Pidge and protecting her, you often ran off on your own to look for Matt and their father, Sam.

After many days of holding Pidge as she cried and crying along with her and staying up late to run tests on new tech and ruining mission plans just to go looking for Matt and Sam, Pidge had finally found her brother.

Once the siblings got back to the castle, you were the last to greet Matt. You sort of just stood behind everyone else to stare at him while he hugged Shiro and introduced himself to the others.

When he finally saw you, he looked shocked and excited all at the same time. “(Y/N)?” He said it as if he wasn’t sure if that was really you. You’d both changed a lot since you last saw each other.

Finally, you couldn’t hold back anymore. You ran to him, nearly pushing Shiro out of the way as you hugged him tightly. All he could do was laugh as he hugged you back.

“You look different.” “Yeah, ditto.” You can decide who said what.

Y’all are just so taken aback by seeing each other again under these strange circumstances and now things feel…different. You spent so long, tried so hard to help Pidge find him and now that he’s here, it feels like you know him inside and out. You’ve been picturing him in your mind for so long, wondering if he’s even alive and you’d cry at night thinking about him and you start to panic as you realize you’re still very much in love with him…you still have the same crush on him that you did years ago, when he wore glasses and had braces.

Although you’re happy and relieved to have Matt back, you give the Holt siblings some space for the first few days after his return. You know how close they are and it was very emotional for you when you and Keith rescued Shiro, you just want to give them some private sibling bonding time.

Immediately, they put a stop to that. They both so badly want you to be a part of everything they do. Pidge feels that she will forever be in debt to you for helping her, and Matt is also secretly in love with you is incredibly impressed that you made it all the way up here with the rest of the team and really appreciates that you stuck by his sibling this whole time. You kept your promise and that makes his heart explode ❤️‍🔥

After just a few weeks with Matt around, EVERYONE could begin to feel the tense vibes between you two. Like…y’all are really comfortable around each other and you are decent at pretending to be ‘just friends’ but there are certain times when Matt is just very obviously pining for you and the team can’t NOT notice, he’s just too dramatic for it to go unseen.

Pidge notices first and she’s like “Yep. I saw that one coming from a mile away.” Then she starts to whisper to the rest of the team about it and point it out more often just to embarrass Matt.

She’s terrible, she’ll literally blackmail Matt with threats of telling you how he really feels about you. And he’s like 😥 “Katie, please, no.”

After a couple days of blackmailing to get piggy back rides and get served food and drinks while she works, Pidge begins to actually talk to Matt about it more. She starts to become his little wingman, giving him tips about how to woo you and things she’s learned about you since he’s been gone.

One day, Matt decides to confess his feelings to your brother first. It was a bit awkward at first as Matt stuttered and blushed, but it quickly became a very comfortable and deep talk about how much they both admire you.

Suddenly, he gets a surge of confidence and asks Shiro’s permission to ask you to be his partner, considering that Shiro is one of his closest friends and also his hero. Of course Shiro approved. Y’all are too cute for him to say no. He ships it so hard already.

Matt comes barging into the lions’ hangar where you are assisting Pidge in adding some cool, new invention to her lion. He charges straight up to you with a very concerning look on his face. He’s bright red and breathing quickly and won’t look you in the eye which is very unlike him.

“Matt? What is it? You okay?” And he’s looking nervously back and forth between you and Pidge.

“Spit it out already, Romeo! We have work to do.” Pidge is lowkey grossed out rn. Y’all are cute but you’re her best friend and he’s her brother and she doesn’t want to see it up close like this.

“(Y/N), I think I love you…I-I uh…I’m sorry.” Matt’s so red and scared and stressed rn, omg plz tell this boy how you feel already.

“I love you too, Matt.” And instantly, he’s looking at you and he’s smiling.

He asks you very softly to be his partner and how can you refuse? You’ve been dreaming of this day for so long.

Because y’all are already close friends, the transition into a relationship is super easy. You still geek out together with Pidge and you still talk to each other the same, you just get to do cute couples shit too like cuddle in bed under the blankets and hold hands as you walk together and share quick kisses right in front of Pidge just to gross her out. It’s honestly hilarious.

“Sir, Commander Sendak wants to contact us,” the blue-haired girl reported. “Put him through.” Lotor nodded. A full-length hologram of Sendak appeared in front of Lotor. “Lotor, where's the Lion?” “Well, hello, Sendak.” Lotor leaned back in his chair boredly. “The Emperor will be furious. There's already a bounty on your head.” “Oh, that paternal concern.” Lotor stroked his chin lazily. “Sendak, that's very sweet, but I don't understand what you're talking about.” Sendak lost his temper. “Listen you, bright star in our Galra firmament! Regulus! Leo's alpha! Where's my Lion, alpha?” “What? What's he talking about?” The boy with the human appearance stood behind the Prince. “Yeah, you didn't send that sassy girl. Passport is very funny when I don't know what keeps me off my own ship. Then the boy, the youngster… Let's humiliate Sendak with a weird fight. It'll be hilarious if he loses. To a half-blood, right, Lotor? And the apotheosis of this show is no Lion. Where's the Lion, Lotor?” Sendak's feline ears twitched nervously. Lotor froze in bewilderment. But only for a second. “Are you suggesting that I stole it?” he purred. “Would you like to see my ship, Commander? Oh.” The Prince picked up the black cat as he passed by. “Isn't that him by any chance? Oh, he's not red.” “You declared war on me, Lotor,” Sendak exhaled. The screen went out. “Don't mind him, Kova. You're better than a Lion.” The Prince stroked the cat. “What does he want?” The blue-haired girl turned away from the console. “What kind of game is Sendak playing? Why is he making it up?” The boy leaned toward Lotor. “That's not his style, Matt.” Lotor stood up. The cat moved onto the Prince's shoulder. “Besides, the boy really was there. Looks like we'll be seeing Voltron soon.” He turned to the girl. “Acxa, find Zethrid and Ezor. It's time to go.”

— Сэр, коммандер Сендак хочет связаться с нами, — отрапортовала синеволосая девушка. — Соедини, — Лотор кивнул. Голограмма Сендака в полный рост возникла перед Лотором. — Лотор, где лев? — Ну, здравствуй, Сендак, — Лотор скучающе откинулся на спинку кресла. — Император будет в ярости. За твою голову и так назначена награда. — Ох, эта отцовская забота, — Лотор лениво поглаживал свой подбородок. — Сендак, это очень мило, но я не понимаю, о чём ты. Сендак потерял самообладание: — Слышь ты, яркая звезда на нашем галра небосводе, Регулус значит — альфа льва! Ну и где мой лев, альфа? — Что? Интересно, о чём это он? — парень с внешностью землянина встал позади принца. — Ну да, ну да. Это же не ты подослал эту дерзкую девчонку. Паспорт — это очень смешно, когда непонятно-что не пускает меня на мой собственный корабль. Следом мальчишка, юнец… Давайте унизим Сендака странным боем. Вот будет ржака, если проиграет. Полукровке, да, Лотор? И апофеоз этого шоу — льва нет. Где лев, Лотор? — кошачьи уши Сендака нервно задёргались. Лотор замер в недоумении. Но лишь на секунду. — Ты полагаешь, что я его украл? — промурлыкал он. — Хочешь осмотреть мой корабль, коммандер? Оу, — принц подхватил на руки проходящего мимо чёрного кота. — А это случайно не он? А, он же не красный. — Ты объявил мне войну, Лотор, — выдохнул Сендак. Экран погас. — Не обращай внимания, Кова. Ты лучше льва, — принц погладил кота. — Чего он хочет? — синеволосая отвернулась от консоли. — Что за игру ведёт Сендак? Зачем он это выдумал? — парень наклонился к Лотору. — Это не его стиль, Мэтт, — Лотор встал. Кот перебрался на плечо принца. — К тому же, мальчишка действительно был. Похоже, скоро мы увидим Вольтрона, — он повернулся к девушке. — Акша, отыщи Зетрид и Эзор. Пора улетать.

After being lost in the foster system for years, Keith is finally reunited with his father's half-brother, Shiro. This is how one feral desert child learns to be part of a family again before it all falls apart.

Chapter 111 excerpt:

Matt woke up. The first thing he realized was that he wasn't in his room. The second was that he was nestled between two people. The third was that those two people were Adam and Shiro. His waking, logical, smart brain remembered their conversation and how much they loved and weren't angry with him. But that part of his brain wasn't in charge right now. He tried to get out of bed as gracefully as possible, but he ended up losing his balance, falling on top of Adam before landing flat on his back on the floor with an 'oof.' That was graceless. And humiliating. And kind of painful. He'd just flipped out for no reason in a weird half-awake state and was now on the floor with the breath knocked out of him trying to make his panic stop existing.

[maplesyrupptarmigan]

Summary:

Katie wanted to be excited. A part of her was. Hang out with her friends, eat food made with love—fun stuff. So what if she had woken up with a nine out of ten on the chronic pain scale? She'd been through worse.

She rubbed her eyes and tried to stretch. I have got to get a stretching routine, she thought. The thought was, thankfully, interrupted by a car pulling up and a person hopping out.

"You good?" Lance asked.

"No, I feel like shit. But otherwise, yeah. I'm fine."

- - -

something different. decided to infodump in the actual notes than in here, although do have things to say about it here.

i think my writing is too dialogue-heavy, and i need to work on actually writing scenes and settings instead of characters and conversations. i enjoy it, and i love writing the way people speak, but it makes the writing feel sparse in my opinion. it works for the kind of really short microfiction stuff that got me back into writing, but i think for more long-form stuff its suffering. a lot of times i want these stories to be longer, but my writing style lends itself more to short forms (this was a slight problem for signals and messages, which were both downsized significantly when i realized i couldn't write as much as i wanted to—strangely, the interludes always seem to end up larger than i anticipated). i'd like my writing to be more dense, which i am trying to work on. anyways

this went for a long time without a proper name. i originally called it microcosms, which is fine, i guess (i'm saving that for something else, now). the lyric title was more of an addition after the fact, but i would like to do more lyric title fics. there are some good lyrics out there.

thanks

Nothing Ever Truly Goes Extinct - New Chapter

Wielding a thick tree branch with her limber trunk, Maha launched at several enemies, simply wiping them off the rink before they could engage their rifles.

  “H—how do you…” Matt screeched, realizing he was at the mercy of the elephant.   

  “You just have to trust your elephant!” another villager passed him, riding a smaller beast. “Bond with her!”

  “How do I do that?…” Matt held on to dear life, feeling the wrath of the creature into his shaking bones.

  “Matt, can you hear me?” Chip chirped into his earpiece.

  “Not now, Chip!! I’m k-kinda’ busy!”

  “Sorry to interrupt, but it’s urgent.”

  “Jeez, Chip! Dogged like my little sister, aren’t you?” --------------- Fandom: Voltron: Legendary Defender Chapter 43 Entire Work Rating: Teen and up Main tags: Lotura, Sheith, Plance ------------------

They're endgame fr

They always looked guilty when they were together. He could see on their faces when they would cuddle while he was cooking. He didn't understand why, it was simple cuddling. Couples do it all the time, so why did they always have that guilty look on their faces? A guilty look matched with whispered apologies when they think he's asleep. Did they think they upset him?

He didn't understand why they would think that. Was it because he kept pulling away from them? He was never big on physical affection, it wasn't something he enjoyed. Maybe they would stop looking so guilty if he simply cuddled with them a bit more. It might help them realize he isn't mad at them, he could also find a way to tell them that he doesn't like physical affection. A way that would let them know he isn't mad at them and never was. He was hoping it would get rid of their guilty looks.

__________________________

__________________________

Cuddling with them didn't help. It only made them look even more guilty. He was confused, at a loss as to what he could even do. So he stood at the counter, cutting up onions. Maybe they would tell him over some food. They mentioned they wanted tacos sometime this week so he was making it. It would show them that he listened to them and might get them to tell him why they always seem guilty. Those looks kept eating at him, it was making him worried.

Maybe they didn't think he was mad at them, maybe it was something more.

__________________________

It was silent, the only noise came from the TV and metal meeting metal as he put the taco meat on the wrap. They sat at the table, he could feel them staring. He knew that they both had a guilty look on their faces. “Would you guys like anything on your tacos?” He kept his voice quiet, their constant guilty looks were making him crazy. His plan was to try and pry over dinner but it would only ruin the night if it ended up in an argument. It was tiring as well, he was just about to give up. He might as well give up. “No.” They spoke at the same time. He only hummed, walking over to the table to set their plates down in front of them.

He only walked back to the counter to prepare his own food. “I'm not mad at either of you.” He walked back to the table, sitting down across from them. He likes seeing them during mealtimes, he liked seeing them enjoy their food. It was like seeing them realize how much he truly loves them. “We know.” One spoke, taco in hand as he only received a look of confusion.

“Then why do you both always look so guilty Takashi?” The guilty looks were getting on his nerves. Especially since those looks reappeared, he wanted to slap them so the looks would be gone. “It's hard to explain Adam.” Takashi stayed silent as the man next to him spoke. He only frowned, his eyes focused on his food. He only stood up, he didn't feel hungry anymore. He didn't understand why his hunger disappeared but he did and he just wanted to go to bed.

“Where are you going?” He only picked up his plate as he walked to the trash and dumped his food into it. “To bed Matthew.” He didn't mean for his words to come off as cold but he was irritated. He wanted answers and they wouldn't even bother to give one. He didn't care if it was something stupid like they forgot his birthday or something along those lines. He just wanted the looks to go away, he wanted them to go back to normal.

He was just tired, tired of the looks.

__________________________

__________________________

He only laid in bed on his side. His eyes focused on the wall in front of him, the lower half of his face covered by the blanket. He could hear movement in the other room. He couldn't fall asleep. Why didn't he just stay quiet? Why did he have to ruin their night by getting upset? The main question on his mind though, he doubts he'll ever get an answer for. Why won't they just tell him why they look so guilty when they're together? Did they fall out of love with him?

That thought made his heart ache, he only gripped the sheets tightly. He shouldn't go down that rabbit hole, it would do more damage than good. He was thankful that the door to the bedroom opened, it helped break his train of thought. He could hear a set of footsteps walk close to the bed before feeling someone sit down close to his legs. “Adam? We know you aren't asleep.” He could feel the mattress dip slightly behind him as Takashi had a hand resting near his lower back. The man was hovering over him, he didn't get why. He wanted them to leave him alone for the night unless they decided to tell him why they kept giving him guilty looks. “What do you want?” His voice was slightly muffled by the blanket.

He heard another set of footsteps walk closer before Matthew was in his line of sight. A careful hand moved the blanket away from the lower half of his face. “Can we talk?” He only moved his eyes to the wall behind Matthews head. He didn't feel like talking at the moment, he wanted to be left alone. He was sick and tired of their guilty looks, he wanted to be far away from them until those looks stopped appearing. “I'm tired, can it wait until tomorrow?” He could feel Matthews hand near his face, fingers playing with the hair that was always styled in front of his face.

“No.” Takashi’s voice was soft, it made his heart swell slightly. “We have to tell you, we realized we're being pretty shitty for not telling you.” Matthew’s voice was just as soft. His heart only swelled up even more. He only hummed at their words, they weren't being shitty, just really irritating.

“Just say it please, I want to go to bed.” He was tired, he truly was. He was hoping their explanation was short and simple. “Adam, I love you, I love you more than words can describe but I also love Matt.” Takashi spoke slowly, like he didn't know how to put his thoughts into words. But he didn't care, they were just wasting his time. “If you two are just going to waste my time then I don't want to talk.” He pushed Matthew and Takashi away from him. He was tired, he wanted an explanation but it was clear he wasn't going to get one, at least not tonight.

“Adam, we're not wasting your time. We're trying to talk to you.” Takashi sounded hurt. Why is he hurt? He should be the one who is hurt, they were trying to tell him something he already knows as a flimsy excuse for their stupid guilty looks. “You're telling me something that I knew about for a while now. Just leave me alone, I don't want to talk to either of you.” He knew he wasn't being fair, he knew he was being an asshole. They didn't deserve to deal with him being a jerk just because he was upset, he was going to apologize to them both tomorrow.

“Adam please, we just want to talk.” Matthew tried to put a hand on his face, he only pulled away from the other man. “Just go away.” He was getting annoyed, he wanted to go to bed and he wanted to be alone. “Go in the other room or something, I don't want to see or talk to either of you. I just want to go to bed.” He turned his back to Matthew as he sat up a bit, moving away from him and Takashi.

“Ok.” Takashi's voice was soft, understanding. “We'll give you space, we can talk when you're ready.” He could feel as Takashi got up from the bed before hearing two sets of footsteps leaving the room. “We love you.” Matthew's voice was the last thing he heard before the door closed and he closed his eyes.

__________________________

__________________________

He woke up to see Matthew laying close to him. He glanced behind him at Takashi to see him lying close to him as well. He only hummed before pulling Matthew closer to himself and grabbing one of Takashi's arms and letting it rest on his waist. His actions only caused the two to move closer. He liked this, he liked being close to them. He hummed as his hands moved to play with Matthew's hair.

He glanced at the alarm clock. It was early, he should go back to bed. Yet he couldn't bring himself to, he got mad at them over nothing. He had to figure out how to apologize. “I'm sorry.” His voice was quiet, why was he saying it now? They're both asleep. “Don't be, you have the right to be upset.” Takashi's voice was laced with sleep. He only hummed as he felt Takashi hug him slightly tighter.

“We should've explained things to you earlier, we should be the ones apologizing.” Matthew spoke up, voice muffled due to his face being pressed against his shoulder. He only hummed, fingers twirling Matthew's hair. “I got mad at you both for no reason. You simply wanted to talk.” He could feel as Takashi gripped him tighter.

It was silent after that. The only noise was their breathing. “What did you mean earlier, when you said you already know?” Matthew broke the silence. He only pulled Matthew closer, he wanted to be close to both of them. The conversation they had before he ended up pushing them away and falling asleep. “Are you asking how I already know you two are in love?” He was confused.

Why wouldn't he know? Takashi and Matthew were dating before he met them. They simply added him to their relationship. Did they think he didn't know? Is that why they always seemed so guilty? “Why wouldn't I know?” He didn't understand why they would be guilty about it. He wasn't mad about them not outwardly saying they were dating but it was obvious. “Because we didn't even know until a few months ago.” Takashi sounded confused and Matthew moved his face from his shoulder just to give him a look of confusion.

“No, that's not true because you two were dating long before I met either of you.” He moved so he could see them both with ease. This caused them to look at him confused. Takashi only shook his head with a confused laugh. “No, Matt and I never dated before meeting you Adam.” Takashi was now propped up on his elbow.

He only frowned as Matthew mimicked Takashi’s position. “Then you two got together after I met you. All I know is you two are dating and were already together before I joined.” He was confused and it was frustrating. The two were dating and he simply joined. That's how it went, that's how he remembers it.

“Wait, you thought we were all dating?” Matthew had an over excited smile on his face. He only stared, he could hear as Takashi tried to stifle his laughter. He felt embarrassed for some reason, like he couldn't figure out why a joke was funny until it was too late. “Are we not?” His voice was quiet, small. Did he misunderstand everything?

“Only we were Adam, Matt wasn't part of it.”

“Until now!”

Their words caused his ears to heat up. He moved his focus away from them, refusing to let his eyes look at them. He misunderstood the entire thing. How embarrassing. “Is that why you always looked guilty?” He only received hums in response. “Yeah, we didn't know how to tell you.” Takashi moved closer, trying to get his eyes on him.

“But I suppose we really didn't have to since you already thought we were all together.” Matthew's voice was teasing and he moved closer, an attempt at trying to cuddle with him. He only let out a groan. How could he misunderstand something so badly? “You both suck and I hate you.” A lie, a bold faced lie. They both knew it as well because they only moved closer to him. Arms wrapping around his middle.

“You love us.” Matthew's voice was low, soft and full of love. He only hummed as he felt lips moving against his neck and jaw, soft kisses that told him how much they both loved him. It made his heart swell.

Fic Roundup: October 30 - November 19

A compilation of all of my most recently updated fanfictions. Enjoy ♥

Worth(less), Chapter One

Summary: On their journey to Earth, Voltron makes a stop at a planet for supplies and are pleasantly surprised to find that its inhabitants are not only incredibly generous but incredibly powerful and they would make strong allies for their upcoming fight against Sendak. In order to secure the alliance, the king assigns a member of his high council to observe each Paladin and judge their worth of character.

Lance is delighted to find out his evaluator is the king’s own son, Prince Barin, who is a formidable fighter, pilot, and obviously someone of high importance and he’s determined to prove himself worthy and make Voltron proud, especially following the horrible game show experience with Bob.

Except the prince isn’t interested in evaluating Lance’s worth as a Paladin. His only interest is in Lance’s body and what it can offer him. And for the sake of the alliance, for the sake of the universe… Lance knows what his answer has to be.

Missing, Chapter One

Summary: Lance isn’t sure he’s ever felt this tired before. It’s not just from the lack of sleep (even though he’s getting plenty of it every night). It’s not just because of the near endless list of chores he does because everyone else has far more important things to do and he should try to pull his weight where he can. And it’s not entirely from the heavy disappointment that seems to emanate from Shiro every time he looks at Lance and has to be reminded of how much Lance doesn’t measure up to Keith when he was the Red Paladin while he struggles to be a Paladin worthy of the title. But all of those things together (although is he missing one? He’s so tired, it’s hard to focus)? They’re heavy and exhausting and Lance is so tired.

So, so tired.

Not a Joking Matter, Chapter Six

Summary: [Sequel to A Mind of His Own] Matt’s plans to hang out with Katie at the Castle of the Lions is interrupted by an urgent, but quick, Rebel mission. The mission, to Matt’s relief, goes exactly as planned.

But the being abducted and strapped down on a table for medical experimentation part? Not so much.

The Deadliest of Sins, Chapter Six

Summary: (Police/Detective AU) There’s a serial killer haunting the streets of Garrison City. Detective Lance Esposito is assigned the case, trying to solve the killer’s motive and identity before another victim shows up in a week. He can tell there’s something very personal to the killer about these crime scenes and kills. But even Lance had no idea how personal this case is about to become.

Found, Chapter Eight

Summary: Lance is alive. He’s been alive this whole time as not just a prisoner of the Galra Empire… but as their assassin. Shiro’s head aches with his own press of memories as to what Lance must have suffered, how he’d been tortured, to become a cold-blooded killer that goes against every value Lance held dear. But while there’s nothing they can do to change the past they have a way to change the future and now it’s time to find Lance and bring him home.

—

Sniper is confused. He shouldn’t know those people, he doesn’t know those people and yet… yet there’s a whisper of familiarity that makes his chest ache and his hand pause on the trigger. But Mistress’ whispers are even louder and his screams as she forces him to forget them and replace them with only the faces and feelings of enemies are the loudest of them all.

Sword and Shield, Chapter Seven [FINAL]

Summary: The Blade mission is dangerous but Keith is confident that between himself and Lance, who along with the Red Lion is integral to the success of it, they’ll be fine. However, as the mission progresses Keith is finding it harder and harder to ignore the fact that Lance keeps making himself a human shield and sacrificing his own safety for Keith’s and it's reminding him far too much of his own decision on Naxzela and what he almost did to keep the others safe.

But now that horrific pattern of self-sacrifice has come to a head as Lance is injured protecting Keith. And it's not just a terrible wound: Lance is poisoned and slowly, painfully dying before Keith's eyes. Unlike Naxzela where he could at least do something (even if it would have cost him everything) there's nothing he can do to save Lance. Except... this time Keith isn't alone. And help is coming.. if he can keep Lance alive that long.

Watching Voltron: Legendary Defender for the first time and recording my thoughts

S1-2 | S3 | S4 | you are here! | S6 | S7 | S8 |

_________________________________________

This one is not as long because I literally finished it like two days ago as I write this so the thoughts are still simmering down but I need to remember them before I watch s6

Pre-S5 thoughts

-> I hope we get Keith back, his near sacrifice really scared me at the end of S4. I want my son back.

-> pLEASE let that poor girl get her father back. Oh my lord. Give him back. Pls. I can’t wait anymore. Will the real Sam Holt please stand up? Please stand up?

-> FRICK Lotor I know they’re probably gonna give him some backstory or whatever on him being a good guy but I DOOOOONNNNNNT CAAAAARRRREEEEEEEEE. I do NOT like him and they can never make me. he is EVIL and you cannot tell me otherwise.

->^“but laura-” idc. I don’t trust him. His voice is too American-Psyco-y. He is a little scheming cunty little elf. He’s onto something. He wants something out of this.

->^I will miss his team of lesbians tho. They ate.

->There seems to be a lot of hints towards allurance! I hope they get a good arc. They are very sweet!

-> I hope we see more of Matt! It’s like that one quote from Brooklyn 99. “I’ve only had [Matt] for [an episode and a half] but if anything were to happen to him, I’d kill everyone in this room, and then myself”

—~—~—~—~—~—///////|||||\\\\\\\—~—~—~—~—~—

Post-S5 Thoughts

-> my suspicions of Shiro grew bigger and bigger as this season progressed. I think I have it figured out by now. 🔍🧐☕️

->^Lotor low key ate her up with this

->^i think that’s her main arc: she needs to let go of the thought that all galra are evil (which she has fair reason to do so), as it is a war, and things aren’t all black and white. As much as I hate to admit it, I feel like having Lotor around this season will help her character development.

->^I wrote that at the beginning of s5, I was right, it did help a little (though then they brought up the fact that Lotor was half altean so maybe she just thinks he’s good because of that—let’s hope not)

->They did not, in fact, bring Keith back. Very upsetting.

->WE GOT SAM HOLT BACK!! THE HOLTS ARE BACK!!! THEY HAVE FOUND THEIR FATHER!!!!

->^That was an emotional episode for me. I cried when they didn’t find him in the “prison” thing and I cried again when Pidge ran into the hologram thing. They make me feel so weak. I was so happy when they got him back fr.

-> And then I cried again at the end of episode 3 cus he was like “I decided im leaving, good luck out there, kids”. Bawling.

->Speaking of episode 3… 🔍🧐

->^and episode 4…and episode 6… 🧐🧐🧐🧐

->^🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐

->^me rn vs. you guys probably.

->^He’s 1) been listening to everything Lotor says, ignoring the team and going behind their back/without consulting them. And 2) Being uncharacteristically hostile to everyone. I swear I felt like I was reading a really OOC fanfic nearly the whole season.

->^Yes, Shiro is leader-y, but he also (s1-2) tended to listen to his team and have unserious moments. I feel like he’s lost all of that. And I think that last picture is all I need to know.

->(moving on)There seems to be a big focus on Lance this season (yay!) I really hope it’s not for the usual reasons characters get extra screen time (because I would die). I feel like they have been leading him to be the black paladin with how leader-y he has been this season but even if that’s not the case I do still feel they are going to do something really important with him for the next season and I am so excited to see what they are going to do with him! 😊

-> if Keith doesn’t leave the Backyard of Malnutrition next season im going to make myself go inside the show and personally take him out

->/j/j/j…or is it? ☕️�� (someone needs to take this emoji away from me it’s made me too powerful)

->WE GOT KEITHS MOM!!!!

->^I was so shocked I literally slammed my computer shut (not that hard, im not a psycho dw)

->^HE GOT HIS MOM BACK!!! I cried after that episode because can you imagine? He just got her back and he thought she was dead/abandoned him for like his entire life. And now he has her back and oh my god I need to open ao3 where are those “first time calling <someone> mom/dad” one shots.

->^AND KROLIA. SHE JUST GOT HER BABY BACK!! Stop im fr crying as i type this. guys. Fuck. I genuinely can’t handle family-related stuff in shows like I will cry so hard. It doesn’t even have to happen on screen my brain just makes the scenarios for me and I obey and bawl my eyes out.

->They are trying to make me like Lotor and Allura together…it is almost working. Almost. I still don’t trust him. And I like allurance better.

->^i just KNOW she was internally kicking her feet and giggling at this. “Then you’re…🤔😯 Half altean 🤭🤭😍😍😍”

->^speaking of that ep, I was sooooo happy for Allura because she finally found a way to still be connected with her dad/culture after having to lose him in s1 and not being able to pilot red in s3, absolutely overjoyed for my best girl!! 🤍🩷🤍

->I absolutely LOVED episode five’s subplots. We have: A-plot) Keith+ his mom going on a mission together, B) Lotor +Allura finding altean stuff in Haggar’s lair, and C) my personal favorite, The garrison trio getting up to shenanigans with a galra robot thing.

->^Later Pala-dudes is my hero, too, lance

->^^Look at those dorks. I love them so much.

->^See this is proof that Lotor is actually Evil™️ and Not Good™️ because he immediately went to violence and trying to fight to greedily get what he wanted while Allura saw the right path and allowed the secrets to be shared with her willingly in this essay I will-

->When is Lotor gonna find out his mom is haggar?? Hopefully s6 cus I can’t take this anymore. the evidence is RIGHT THERE, bucko. Figure it out already.

->If they want me to like Lotor they better work extra hard next season. I’m beginning, BEGINNING, to actually, kinda-sorta-maybe actually like him. BEGINNING! And it is a rough start at that. But im defrosting my built-up dislike for him. It’s a burn slower than 300k words but it’s getting there. They’re gonna hold hands any chapter now.

These are thoughts I’ve been compiling for a while. I will continue to post my thoughts on the tag “laura’s first vld”

I finished Season 5 on 07/13/24. I have not yet started season 6. Stay tuned!

Chapter 113 excerpt:

When Shiro made it back inside after finishing his workout, he saw a half eaten orange on the kitchen floor and looked at it with bemusement. It looked like someone had taken a bite from it like an apple, rind and all.  His gaze turned to Matt on the couch. Instead of throwing the orange away, he cleaned the floor and set it on the counter to confront Matt with later.

New oneshot fic - The Prisoner

Summary: On their way to deliver Lotor to Zarkon in exchange for Commander Holt, a few blunt discussions happen among the people in the shuttle, which in turn stir up recent memories.

Pidge, distrustful of Lotor, and eager to get her dad back, reflects on their previous convos, while Shiro is pondering on his risky decision to give Lotor the Black Bayard.

Matt and Lotor have some silent eye to eye moments that reveal a bit about each of them.

This is a character study, as well as a "what if" short story in regards to Lotor's ability to handle the Black Bayard.

Read the fic here.

Rating: Teen and up.

Most relevant tags: Angst, Grief/Mourning, Teen Pidge, POV Shiro, POV Pidge.

—————

Hey friends, my muse made me do it, so I birthed a short fic that sprouted in my author mind, unannounced.

No ships, just ‘What ifs’, exploring what went on in Shiro’s mind when he decided to give Lotor his Bayard, and the inner dialogues of teen Pidge, who still has things to learn from life, but she’s feisty and ready to burn the universe to get her family back. Also, some Matt interactions with Lotor while doing a bit of character study on him as well.

A little surprise at the end - again, a ‘What if’ exploration regarding Lotor’s potential.

Thank you for reading! Comments and kudos are always welcome! 🙏
