Medieval/Fantasy AU Having your dreams and your hopes and basically every feeling crushed down as a child, you're emotionless once you're of age. A blade becomes your closest friend, your armor your only clothes. Becoming a Knight for the largest, strongest kingdom was your goal. That was as far as you were ever going to get before getting booted down to dessert bum. Then the Red lion chose you. You of all people she could have chosen from. Of all the knights. You became one of the knights of Voltron. You are of the highest order, thrown into adventures and fights and emotions. The other knights are suddenly your friends. You're comfortable. And there's a boy. A beautiful boy... With bright blue eyes, dark skin... Warm hands and gentle lips... ~ I do not own Voltron or any of the main characters.

Mostly Keith's P.O.V. Voltron is a game the gang plays. Keith, Hunk, Lance, and Pidge are all pretty fresh outta college. Allura, and Shiro, graduated a couple years prior, and Coran is the owner of a Cafe where they hang regularly. Keith won't admit to anyone that he's in love with Lance, his "rival". Why Lance believes that they are rivals is lost on Keith, but that had been decided freshman year of college. All Keith wants is to understand Lance. It's been years since meeting everyone, Lance, Hunk, Pidge, Allura, and Coran. He's known Shiro forever though, they're like brothers. Over the years Keith has grown close with them all, though college had been stressful as all hell, he's glad he stuck with it, after all that's how he met his close knit group of friends, and they mean everything to him. One night Keith and the gang are playing VLD, a tabletop game they'd come up with Keith's freshman year, they'd decided to play with raised stakes. Keith knew it wasn't smart, but he'd been out voted, so raised stakes it was. They played in small teams of two, Keith and Lance, Pidge with Hunk, and Allura with Shiro (as usual), these teams competed heavily to reach the end battle. When Pidge and Hunk win the game, Lance and Keith, who came in last due to constant arguing, must face the penalty. Language warning! I don't own any of these characters! I do not own Voltron Legendary Defender! Cover art by ikimaru on Tumblr and insta.

The McClain family circus is beyond famous, but they're most famous for only having one son, Lance, who just happens to be the star of the show. Now everyone plays a part and Lances part is the contortionist, he has always been flexible and he loves performing so it fits him well. Keith and his adoptive parents just moved to the hometown of the McClain family circus. Which Keith is forced to go to the first show. ~~~ Probably going to suck, but I'll do my best (I am aware of another book with the same cover and a similar title no I did not copy them I had the idea a while ago and am just doing it now) ~~~ Mature content; Homosexual relationship, lgbtqia mentions, suicidal mentions, trigger warnings for self-harm, hate speech, strong language ~~~ Oh and another thing Pidge uses she/her pronouns in this story :) #1 - legendary defender 10/18/18 (Lol) #34- Voltron 11/30/18
