ConHon entry I did for @ribbitsplace at AkiCon this sunday! Sorry, if I was acting weird, I was just super caught off guard.
This made me flip through my old ConHon once I was back home and – wow, it really is time to bring that tradition back.
So, @emsawards just went and took the two things I obsess about the most at the moment and put them together into one, thrilling, amazing fanfiction. I couldn’t be more happy!
(For the designs, I picked a little from the manga, a little from the movie, the paladin armor, their normal outfits, Keith’s space pirate outfit and of course a good part of @v-0-3 artwork of Shiro that started it all. Though I changed Shiro’s haircolour to white in the end, because I love the contrast to Keith.)
The Black Paladins.
(He deserved at least a hug… I’ll miss him.)
Shiro choosing Keith to be a cadet over Griffin is the equivalent of being shown the most well-behaved dog in the pet store but still choosing the one that’s been chewing on your shoe the whole time.
While we can agree the Voltron fandom is currently a crash site of vicious disagreements and ship wars, one thing that has risen above the ranks is the sheer amount of ao3 author support. A lot of people are frustrated with the newest season, particularly if (like me) you’re a member of the LGBT+ community who has come face-to-face with the “Bury your gays” trope yet again, or even if you’re someone who has issues with how the plot or characterisation has been done. Everyone’s frustrations are valid because everyone has their own opinion (and I’ll slip in here that while these emotions are yours to express please don’t abuse the creators of Voltron, they deserve respect like any human), but I am LIVING for the sheer amount of genius fix-it fics that have been boosted on this website. While discourse will continue, please be respectful of the fic writers who put their effort into improving the plot how they see fit, and enjoy the works that they lovingly give to the fandom. A lot of reblogs of fics are appearing in the tags so keep up the support for our fandom in these tough times and channel your shipping frustrations into supporting your favourite authors!! Stay positive through these dark times and respect one another!!
Me: I’m tired of Keith being the main character in every season when the rest of the characters desperately need more character development!!
Season 6: What if we gave you soft moments with Keith’s gorgeous mum, including tender flashbacks that show Keith’s tragic background and how much his parents truly loved him.
Me: ....that’s cool but still-
Season 6: How about fully explaining Keith’s relationship with Shiro and using the most breathtaking animation and devastating lines to really make you feel the love and pain between them.
Me, sniffling slightly: No, uh, that’s totally cool but-
Season 6: There’s flashbacks to tiny Keith looking up to Shiro, the only person who believed he was a good kid with a bright future, he just needed someone to not give up on him.
Me, discreetly wiping a tear: T-that’s definitely something I wanted, but you can’t deny-
Season 6: Alrighty then, how about we show how much Keith has grown by displaying his desperation and fear of losing the team and not being to do anything, accompanied with contrasting close-ups of his friends scared faces and Keith’s cracking frantic voice as he called out for these people that have now become his family. We’ll even throw in the culmination of his development to becoming the team leader by showing how he listens to everyone’s opinions/plans but they all listen to him without question to execute each move perfectly, creating a more powerful Voltron because their love for each other is so strong.
Me, all out sobbing: I’m so proud of my boy and who he’s become!!!!!

Post everything, and they finally have a moment to talk, a second to confess, a minute to themselves to process everything…

“I’ve loved you from the beginning,” Keith tells him, ignoring the heat blooming on his face in favor of grazing his thumbs against Shiro’s cheeks.
Shiro hums, tilts his head as he shifts his hips, pressing inward, just to hear the exhale of Keith’s breath. “H—How’d you learn to be so cheesy, Keith?”

Everything is as it should be. Keith has Shiro back. The anger and pain that has been circulating in his brain is gone, replaced with relief and happiness. They’re safe and they’re finally going home.
But nothing is ever simple because it’s only now that Keith realizes he’s in love with Shiro.

CONGRATS SHIRO AND KEITH ON YOUR ENGAGEMENT 😭🙏❤️🖤 IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU TWO!!! Cheers to more happy and loving memories to come! 🥂
Have some more stuff for Jotakorium’s Galra AU. You can tell me whatever you want, but Shiro is definitely a Disaster Gay™ in every universe xD. Maybe signing up for some sparring sessions with the newest member of the Blades wasn’t the best idea… Or was it?
Part one of the au! Keith is with Shiro in the Kerberos mission. Guess what? There’ll be a part 2! A time skip though. It’ll hopefully be finished by next week. Stay tuned!
sorry it took pretty long.. I just got back to school from my break so I have lesser time to work on pieces.
Follow me on Instagram too! @ cosmic_guava for more of my work!
