Summary
It’s the middle of the castle’s night-cycle and Pidge finds herself walking towards Keith’s bedroom.
...
“Where are you looking, Lance?”
...
Hunk hums as he swirls around the food goo mixture that he made with the wooden spoon Keith whittled for him from the wood of a cool tree that they found on a planet while on a mission.
...
Shiro hasn’t been feeling fully focused recently.
...
Allura has not always seen eye-to-eye with Keith, she admits that.
...
Coran misses Keith.
And he knows the rest of the castle does.
Or;
Keith has been gone with the Blade of Marmora and the whole team realize that they all miss them. It's been so long since any of them have had contact with Keith and it's affecting them negatively. Except, the one time that they get to see Keith again, their injured and down on their luck.Series

You Werent' Supposed to See That (I 'fucked' your brother) by Crystalwolf125
Fandoms: Voltron: Legendary Defender
29 Jan 2023

Summary
Pidge was absolutely thrilled to have Matt back where she could go to him for comfort. Even weeks after their original reunion. It seems that Shiro is also excited to have him back, though he also seems dismayed at their lack of being able to find Sam, though that’s neither here nor there right now.
Simply because right now, Pidge is searching through Matt’s room like the little rat that she is in order to see if she can find any dirt on her brother that has built up over their years of separation; he’s stopped being affected by what she had on him before, something about him having more issues that are more pressing to him than petty blackmail she picked up on years before he was shot into space.
Or;
Pidge looks through Matt's things and finds something she thinks she can get some good blackmail on and at first, she's found a gold mine. But for what cost?Series

Summary
Keith sighs, and puts down their phone. Lance has just posted another video that includes Shiro and Curtis all over each other in the background, followed by a glimpse of Curtis bringing Shiro with him out of the door in another picture on the same post. They turn their phone so its screen is facing the couch that they’re currently nestled on, and take another quick drink of their tea.
Matt looks up from whatever thing he’s tinkering on in his lap, “You alright Kitty? Need a break from work or something?”
Or;
Keith is sad because they're living in the past and struggling to get over Curtis taking so much Shiro time from them, and they're sad about it. Matt is there to comfort Keith like the good boy he is.Series

Summary
One can sometimes hear Pidge’s tinkering coming from the green lion’s hangar or the clash of metal against metal in the training room as Keith puts all their energy into whatever training session they’re on right now.
And tonight is one of those nights, where Keith and Pidge are both awake working on their own things.
...
And before she can stop them, words that have been plaguing her mind for a while fall from her lips, “Did you know Matt?”
Keith cracks an eye open and tilts their head to look in the direction of Pidge, “Your brother?”
“Yeah, did you know him?” She cracks her knuckles and looks at where they rest in her lap. Maybe she shouldn’t have asked this, “I figured that… y’know since you both were friends with Shiro before the whole Kerberos thing…”
Keith hums and stays silent for a moment, “Nah, never heard of him in my life.”
Or;
Keith and Pidge are up late at night and Keith opens the door of some old stories between them and Matt to bring Pidge some comfort.Series

Summary
“You all said that you were able to join in on the Voltron presentation that we’re having at the Garrison initiation, right?” Shiro asks, walking into the room where the ex-paladins, Matt, Romelle, and Coran are sitting in with a manilla folder in his hands.
...
“Is-” Hunk starts after taking his packet from the older, “Is Keith going to be here?”
Or;
The team hasn't seen Keith in a year and they are putting on a presentation for the new cadets of the Garrison and Keith is invited alongside their mom and Acxa and the team learn that they've changed--or maybe not changed at all--a lot since the last time they saw them.Series

Summary
Keith began their life in the middle of the desert with their dad in a cabin in the middle of nowhere. They were taught how to hunt for food, how to set up a camp, how to skin game of any size, and how to handle dangerous animals like the snakes and scorpions that roamed the land around their isolated home.
...
So they really couldn’t understand why Pidge revered the outdoors as much as they did.
...
And it was almost comical, the difference between reactions when they first learned of the Olkari.
Or;
Keith loves nature and the planet of Olkarion is a dream, a dream that Ryner is all the more willing to let them indulge in.Series

Summary
Keith never talked about their family. Though Pidge seemed to have an idea on why, based on what Matt has said, and Hunk and Lance can guess; from James Griffin’s comments in their first year, to the way that they’re so defensive and struggle to call them all family.
...
But perhaps only Shiro realized how truly lonely they were on Earth until the team actually came back. Unlike Pidge and Lance who had family waiting for them with open arms, even unlike Hunk whose family had been taken, Keith and Shiro had no one waiting for them. And even then, Shiro had the Garrison staff waiting for him. Even the princess had family after all these years.
...
James, who has just finished with everything in his buggie and has finally climbed from it, meets their eyes and mutters ‘later’ when he notices Keith looking ready to approach.
Or;
Everyone in Voltron has family on Earth waiting for them, save the Alteans who have each other, with Keith being the only exception. However, that doesn't mean Keith is entirely alone. In fact, maybe they had an unexpected someone waiting for them on the other end.Series

Summary
“Who’re you talking to kiddo?” Lance asks, the door to Meisa’s room.
The young girl looks up at her dad with wide eyes, dolls in hand, “I was talking to the one with black hair!” She points at the empty space in front of her, only occupied with nothing more than a tea cup and a plate on the table in front of where she pointed, “I met them the other day! They’re super nice!”
Lance pushes the unease at his daughter’s statement down and gives her a smile, “Oh really?” He moves to kneel next to the girl, “Tell me about them.”
Meisa finally puts down the dolls in her hands and waves towards the empty space once again, “Can’t you see them? They’re smiling at you.”
...
“So if you can see what Meisa is seeing, it means that she’s seeing a ghost?”
Or;
Lance and Allura discover that their daughter, Meisa, is seeing ghosts but she won't say much about her 'new friend' other than they're watching over her and they somehow know the Voltron team. It's not until everyone is together for dinner do they learn just who Meisa is seeing.Series

Summary
“How was the mission love?” Keith asks, watching their boyfriend drape his jacket over the back of the reading chair. James hums and just wanders over to where Keith is sitting on the bed, sharpening his knife. “Love?”
James grumbles then pulls his face out of his lover’s stomach, “It was just tiring.”
...
The two of them jump apart, but clearly not fast enough because Shiro cuts himself off, “Hey Keith, Kolivan and Kro- wh- Keith?”
Keith rubs the back of their neck, face completely red--James can’t help but admire it, even if the situation is mad embarrassing, “Uh, hi Shiro. Wha-” they clear their throat, “What were you saying?”
Or;
Keith and James made up long before Keith was launched into space in Blue with the rest of the Voltron team but none of them know that and it just so happens that Shiro walks into their room.Series

Summary
“By the way,” Matt starts as he’s settling down to sit with Pidge, Hunk, and Lance and accepting the controller from them, “Keith is coming too, they’ll be here in a couple hours.”
...
A couple hours into their get-together Matt gets a call in which he pauses the game to answer, “Hello?”
A familiar, not-quite-monotone answers, calm and a bit raspy, “Hey, this is Keith.”
“What’s up Keith?” Matt asks.
“I’m just finishing up with mom and Acxa, I’m heading back to Earth right now. Give me like an hour to get back to the apartment, change, and head over. I need to feed Kosmo as well.”
...
“Why do you look like that?” Lance asks, much more obtuse than his friend.
“Why do I look like what?” They ask, “I don’t think I have any bruises or cuts or anything?”
Shiro, bless him, decides to take pity on them, “They’re talking about the way you’re dressed, Keith.”
Or;
Keith shows up to a hangout actually dressed emo, not what the group joked was their emo style, and it confuses the hell out of the group. Shiro's neutral, Matt's enjoying it, and Keith's only slightly confused.Series

Summary
There isn’t a lot that the team knows about Keith, and that’s how they want it. They’ve kept information from their companions, things that they don’t want or don’t care for the others to know, but there are also just things that haven’t come up in conversation or weren’t important enough to mention.
One of those things being Keith’s love for theater, specifically musical theater. They had a foster mom that absolutely adored musicals. She had all of her favourites on vinyl records that she’d play anytime she was doing something she could listen to music with. She wore all sorts of things and had sat Keith down and had them watch Phantom of the Opera and Rent when they told her they didn’t know anything about musicals.
Or;
The team has been hearing Keith say some incredibly weird things and when they finally get together and start talking about it, Shiro grows from confusion to amusement as he realizes just what his friend has been caught saying.Series

Summary
The crew has just gotten out of a meeting with everyone and as they’re walking out, Pidge and Hunk are talking about the next mechanical improvement they’ll make to the ships, Lance ranting to Allura about something, and Coran and Shiro walking side-by-side not talking.
That is, until they’re stopped by a police officer leaning against the wall near the door they’re exiting. She pushes herself off the wall the minute that she sees them, ceasing any conversation the group was having, “Is there a Takashi Shirogane here?”
Shiro nods and steps forward, “Yeah, that’s me. Is everything alright?”
“Does the name Keith Kogane sound familiar to you?”
Or;
Keith gets caught shoplifting and goes into the station. A police officer comes to Shiro about the situation in front of everyone and now Shiro and Matt have to avoid the questions about why Keith would be in prison while also figuring out the reason behind Keith's actions themselves.Series

Summary
“Shiro, do you know if Keith’s gonna be here?” Lance asks, sidling up to the older man where he’s talking with Curtis, Allura, and Reyner.
Shiro turns to look at him and shrugs, “I don’t know. I would imagine so.”
Matt waltzes up behind the two and informs them, “Yeah, they’re on their way. With Kolivan and Krolia.”
...
And a varga later, Lance watches as Keith walks in with Krolia, Kolivan, and Acxa. Their arm is linked with Acxa’s and they walk in front of Krolia and Kolivan. Keith turns around and says something to their mom and Kolivan after they step fully into the room. The two leaders nod and Keith and Acxa, arms still inked, head towards where Matt and Romelle are standing by the same column as earlier.
And Lance is incredibly grateful when he watches Keith slip their arm out of Acxa’s. Their lack of contact makes whatever anger or jealousy fade in his chest, though it immediately rears back up again when Keith instead walks over and clasps hands with Matt while Acxa moves to lean one shoulder against the column with a smile on her face as he talks to a blushing Romelle.
Or;
Lance is in love with Keith but learns the hard way that it's too late.Series

Summary
“You all will be going to investigate the planet Kriager. It’s a recently abandoned planet and we’re hoping to find out some information.”
“What kind of information?” Shiro asks.
“Before now, the Krions were private people. Very few knew how to get into their atmosphere and even fewer were actually let in. Krions rarely left their planet yet remained incredibly intelligent peoples. That the planet was abandoned is incredibly peculiar and we hope to find more information about what happened.”
...
And Keith is shocked out of a train of thought they didn’t know they were lost in when Shiro walks up to them and presses a hand to their shoulder, “You alright Keith? You look lost in thought.”
Keith shrugs, “It just doesn’t feel right. I mean, unless they were disturbed, why would such a developed and seemingly peaceful society just upturn everything and leave?” The ravenette sighs, “There didn’t seem to be any obvious disruptions in the image we were shown…”
Or;
Voltron goes on a mission to a seemingly abandoned planet and yet it feels so incredibly off to Keith. They figure out why upon learning that the planet wasn't abandoned... it was massacred.Series

Summary
“Does anyone know where Keith is?” Hunk asks, walking onto the bridge where Allura, Shiro, and Coran are all gathered. “They asked me to help them with a couple things on their ship.”
Pidge walks in shortly behind him, “You can’t find him either? They also wanted me to do my cloaking system on their ship before their mission.”
...
She gazes at Hunk, “Shall we go in?”
“I don’t know. I mean, isn’t it a breach of privacy?”
The girl rolls her eyes, “Keith signed away their privacy the moment they became a part of this team. Don’t you remember the whole mind-meld thing that Coran made us do?”
...
Pidge, after a couple seconds, manages to squeak out, “What are you two doing?”
“Not what we’re supposed to.” Matt laughs, though it’s airy and Hunk can hear his nerves.
“I can see that!” Pidge shouts, “Why are you two down here making out! Especially when Keith knew I was coming to help them with repairs!”
Or;
Keith asked Pidge and Hunk to do repairs on Black for them but neither of them can find the Blade. They discover that they're in the hangar bay, however they also discover the secret they've been keeping from the team.Series
