Starting to plot out my @shirosaveskeith​ fic because May isn't that far off. It'll be for the Day 5 theme and a multichapter sequel to "Symbiosis". If I can come up with little one-shots for the other days, I will.

Day 5 of @shirosaveskeith Week: Certain Death VLD / sheith / Rated E / 12.5k / Complete

https://archiveofourown.org/works/56294848

When Keith goes missing on an undercover mission to spy on a mysterious new enemy plaguing the Coalition, Krolia, Shiro and the other paladins gather together in a rush to find him. Along the way, Shiro is forced to come to terms with the feelings he's been hiding from his best friend. It's long past time he finally comes clean about how he really feels about Keith. But first, he has to find Keith and bring him home.

I really wanted to contribute to the week, so! Black paladin Shiro saving Keith at the end of the Trials of Marmora 🖤💗 @shirosaveskeith

[johaerys-writes]

Fandom: Voltron Legendary Defender

Pairing: Keith/Shiro

Summary:

It’s been a long while since Keith got in a fight. Long enough to make it an unlikely occurrence.

The last time he did, Shiro had really thought it would be the last. 

My entry for Day 6: Nursing & Ministering of @shirosaveskeith week is up! Where Keith gets in a fight, and Shiro is there to help and comfort him :)

Read on AO3

The day is already old by the time Shiro walks out of the Garrison. The gates buzz open when he shows his key card, and the guard smiles at him. 

“Done for the day, Shirogane?” 

“I should hope so,” Shiro says, returning the smile. “You’re off soon too, right?”

“Yeah, just a couple hours left until Stan comes along to replace me.” 

“Give him my regards. And enjoy your day off, Ray, you’ve earned it.” 

“Will do. See you around. And don’t work yourself to the ground just yet, eh.”

Shiro laughs politely and waves over his shoulder as he walks away. He’s been having more or less the same conversation with the man for the last three years, ever since he started working this post. The Garrison is Shiro’s home; no, it’s more than that. It’s a small world, all by itself, and Shiro has been part of it for nearly as long as he can remember himself. 

He makes his way through the front lawn, then walks across the parking lot to his car. It’s Sunday and almost everyone has the day off, so it’s empty save for his own car and a couple others. Most of the cadets have been given they day off, too; those who stay in the Garrison are only ever allowed outside once a month or so, and they’re never meant to stray too far. Shiro sometimes sees them at the arcade or the pool bar in the city, laughing and roughhousing. Keith is rarely amongst them, but then again, he’s always been a bit of a loner. 

Shiro hasn’t seen Keith since Friday. He wonders how he’s doing, whether he’s out, too. Shiro should probably send him a text as soon as he gets home. 

The car engine hums when Shiro slips the key in the ignition, then he’s driving down the long, straight road across the desert to the city. He turns on the radio and rolls down the windows, letting the warm and humid late summer air blow through.

An old song comes on, and before long Shiro is singing along under his breath.

The boy with the thorn in his side

Behind the hatred there lies

A murderous desire for love

The sky is painted in shades of gold, amber and red as the sun dips beneath the western mountain range in the distance. It occurs to him that he hasn’t gone hoverbiking with Keith in a while. He’s been so busy with work, and all the preparations for the Kerberos mission, that he hasn’t had much time for him. 

A thread of guilt laces the thought. He really should make more time for Keith. The mission is still months away, but he won’t be seeing him again for a while after he leaves. He wants to spend as much time with him as he can now, to make up for some of what he’ll lose. 

How can they look into my eyes

And still they don’t believe me?

How can they hear me say those words

Still they don’t believe me?

The traffic lights ahead turn orange, then red. Shiro pulls the car to a stop and drums his fingers against the side of the car, in time with the music. He should make a playlist for Keith, when he has the time. All of his favourite songs in one place. It’s as cheesy a gesture as it gets, but Shiro’s always liked making them, and he’s going to make one for himself anyway for the long months he’ll spend on the way to Kerberos, so why not share it with Keith? Their tastes in music don’t exactly match, but it can’t hurt to show him some new songs. Besides, he’ll have something to listen to while Shiro is away. 

The thought warms him. Shiro smiles, waiting for the light to turn green. 

How can they see the love in our eyes

And still they don’t believe us?

And if they don’t believe us now

Will they ever believe us?

The light ahead changes, and the cars before him start rolling forward. Shiro prepares to follow, when a strange sound from outside catches his attention. 

It sounds like the pattering of feet, coming down the lane. It is a hot and lazy evening, and the streets are quiet, so Shiro hears it clearly. A few shouts and grunts, and then a sharp, pained sound. A punch, Shiro thinks, or a kick; a hard one, too. More shouts and swears follow it, and as soon as Shiro turns the corner in his car, he sees it.

“After they captured him, the Galra tried to extract information from him. About the Blades, and about Voltron," Kolivan says, each word intoned by the healing pod's steady beeping; Keith's heartbeat. "He never spoke, as far as the other prisoners I interrogated could tell. On the last day, they said, before he lost consciousness, he only called out one word.” 

Kolivan pauses, hesitates. Shiro’s heart squeezes into something small and tight. “What was the word?” he asks quietly, somehow already dreading the answer.

“It was your name, Shirogane.”

After one of Keith's Blades of Marmora missions goes wrong, Kolivan contacts Voltron for help. Shiro rushes to the rescue, determined to get Keith back to safety at all costs — and in the process, they come closer, and further apart, than they ever have.

This does not include my HP story, "The Perils of Innocence", which I also update on FF-Net. I have no plans to pull my works from AO3, but I will be watching as they continue to navigate AI-generated text as it invades spaces for fandom creatives.
