#maybe if I write voltron-gundam crossovers it will finally be silenced

I really liked your post about the multi-fandom fanfic involving Voltron, Gundam Wing and some other fandoms. I would have loved to have known what it was about. Given the time frames of both series, it's not impossible that one series could be taking place at some point in the other series' future, or they could be alternate realities. GW has Newtypes who could be part alien, and Duo who looks like a genetic mashup of the VLD paladins and whose lineage has never been revealed in GW canon.
Look, when I say it was embarrassing and weird as FUCK, I mean it lol.
Duo and Lelouch faked being married in order to smuggle a baby out of the country and it only got worse from there.
It actually wasn't gay at all though, it was definitely NOT fake-to-real marriage or anything like that, Duo just had the longest hair so he got nominated to play the wife and didn't protest quickly enough.
The plot honestly only grew more ridiculous from there, to the point that if I actually DID end up writing a multi-crossover I'd probably completely redraw it from the ground up to be something a little less humiliating to release into the world :D
I feel like Keith would be both exasperated and really really confused with Duo's general Duo-ness. (in that fic idea, Keith, being a canonically AWFUL actor, could not be trusted with all the shenanigans from the much more plotty-sneaky characters around him. He did not appreciate this. At least until he realized what they were getting up to and decided that being as far away from the chaos as possible was a Good Thing. Tragically, he kept getting dragged into putting up with their bullshit catastrophic mess that was only PARTIALLY Lelouch's fault, honest)
(Dude was in the weird god-elevator with the power of human consciousness. That does NOT mean he was responsible and he won't be taking criticism)
(also a rather necessary piece of information, my introduction to Gundam Wing was by reading Vathara's Upon A Fiery Steed, and THEN checking out the anime)
(I keep wanting to check out the manga, since I've heard it's MUCH better than the anime, but reading manga online frustrates me and I just haven't had the money to buy em yet - I'm finishing my Fairy Tail collection first, I made it to volume 40!)
(...only 20 left to go)
(anyway! At this point completely-human Duo is just really strange, thanks to Vathara, and I have a couple different custom alien races I usually give him, at least in the AUs that don't have magic)
(Duo and Keith would bond over being half-alien if only Keith could exist in the same room as him without feeling the need to strangle Duo with his own braid)
(Duo's also Pidge's age. And canonically a decent mechanic)
(they'd get along like a house on FIRE and it'd be great)
(at least if you had both their canons moving at the same time, though in my original fic idea, Duo was actually a bit older than Keith due to the timeline shenanigans for that one)
I actually didn't know what Newtypes were until I googled it! I've actually only seen Gundam Wing, since like above, I watched the show SPECIFICALLY because of a fanfic I really liked, and it looks like those aren't a thing in Wing-verse!
But that is pretty cool that it's a canonical thing...
Hnnnn I could do stuff with this...
*must resist temptation*
Anon, please know that if I wake up tomorrow and end up writing any sort of space fic, I'm blaming you (affectionately)
SATURDAYS ARE WRITING DAYS AND YOU GIVE ME THIS ASK ON A FRIDAY AAAAAAA THIS IS A CONSPIRACY ISN'T IT?
