Lance is fed up. In all his years, he has only known life inside the Castle of Lions. As he described it, a prison cell disguised as an extravagant home for the royal. He longs to get away, but his newly crowned sister, Allura, won't have it. So, against her younger brother's wishes, she hires a bodyguard to keep him 'safe' inside the castle. But, the new guard turns out to be... odd. Not quite Altean, not quite Galran. Compared to Lance and the rest of the empire, one could say Keith has many strange differences.

"So..." Allura continued, clearing her throat. Her neck likely aced from looking up for so long. "I know you're not going to like this news, but... It's for the kingdom's best... It's for your best. If something ever happens to me-"

"Yeah, yeah. I'll have to step up as king." Lance mumbled. He just wanted to be done with this conversation. Whatever bad news Allura was about to tell him, he didn't even care. His life sucked. How could she possibly make it suck any more?

"I've hired a bodyguard."

Lance nearly tipped off the wall. He was wrong before. There was a way to make Lance's life suck more! "W-what!" He spat, throwing his arms out to his sides to keep balance. "You did what now?"

I'm Not Leaving You (Keith Kogane x Reader) by _sarahp87021_
15 parts Complete
(Y/N) was just a simple 17 year old girl who had lost her parents when she was young. All she had left was her brother, and after he disappeared, she didn't really know what to do. She eventually got kicked out of the Galaxy Garrison and was all alone. That is, until she met him. She didn't think she'd fall for Keith, and she especially didn't think he'd fall for her. He was her best friend, and her brother's best friend at that. She never thought her life would be filled with such sadness, loneliness, happiness, love, friendship, or aliens. Especially not aliens. And definitely not giant robotic lions. Preview: It's been a year. One year exactly since he disappeared on the Kerberos mission. Takashi was the only family I had left. Mom and dad were gone so it was either he takes care of me or he sticks me in a home somewhere. He chose to take care of me, and I couldn't have asked for a better brother. (Y/N) Your name Hey! This is my first story so sorry if it's a bit cheesy etc, but I just wanted to thank you for even giving it a shot! This is a Voltron Legendary Defender fanfiction where you and Keith get to hit it off. (I'll try to keep it as close to the actual story line of the show as possible, and I'm sorry that the chapters are a bit long. Trust me though, they're worth the read.) Enjoy! I don't own Voltron or any of the characters, pictures, and most of the dialogue. Credit goes to Dreamworks, Voltron Legendary Defender, and the fans who created the amazing fan art. #1 for Paladin (6/18/21) #35 for Takashishirogane (8/20/21) #4 for Blacklion (8/20/21)

"Thank you. But that was not my father. The real King Alfor was a great man and a great father. He may not be here with us anymore, but his dream lives on through all of us, and his legacy is Voltron," Allura told the Paladins. A small smile formed on my face. I was proud of her. She then started to walk toward me. "Olesya" "Allura" I grunted when she ran towards me and collided with my body. Arms wrapped around me and I stood still. It had been so long since I'd been this close to someone. I slowly warmed up to the hug and wrapped my arms around her. "It's been way too long," I mumbled in her ear. "I agree, my friend," She said, pulling away from the hug. She grasped my hand and brought me closer to the Paladins. "Paladins, this is an old friend of mine. Her name is Olesya Elrod." ------------------------------ Meet Olesya Elrod, an Altean and Galra half-blood. Join her on her latest mission for the Blade of Marmora. A mission to sneak into the Castle of Lions and gather information on the Paladins. Also, did I fail to mention she's Zarkon's forgotten adopted daughter? AN: I'm not good at writing book descriptions, so I'm sorry. I've started other books but have never finished them. However, I'm really determined to finish this one. I'm sorry if this book sucks. Unfortunately, school takes up most of my free time, so this book will have slow updates. **Slow Burn** *Slow Updates* Cover artwork doesn't belong to me All artwork comes from Google or Pinterest! All the credits go to the original owners of Voltron Legendary Defenders. I only own Olesya (Keith Kogane X OC) Started March 2022 Ended ........

"S-Stay, p-please," Keith mumbled, hiding his face in his pillow. Lance nodded climbing beside the small boy. Keith turned to face him, his face flushed as he looked at Lance, "T-Thanks." "For what?" Lance whispered, his breath close enough for Keith to touch. "B-Being by my side," Keith moved closer to Lance, closing the small distance between them, "I-I thought y-you'd all hate me." "Why would you think that?" "Ha," Keith let out a bitter laugh, "I'm half Galra. I share half of my DNA with a race who has killed countless civilizations, not to mention they kidnapped Shiro and Katie's family, and they-" "Exactly, "they". You didn't help them do any of that, right?" Lance touched Keith's forehead with his own, drinking in the feel of his soft skin. "N-No but-" "No "buts", you didn't choose to be born part Galra, and you have more than proved you're a paladin." "Allura and Coran hate me," Keith mumbled, trying to find some way to prove that they did indeed hate him. "No they don't, just give them some time to adjust," Keith turned around, pulling Lance's arm around him, "They have to get used to you. None of us hate you, not the smallest bit." Lance waited for Keith to argue but the boy had already fallen asleep. Lance hugged the boy tighter as he copied his steady breaths. "I could never hate you." ------------------------------------------------- Keith gets kidnapped during a simple mission of the paladins. He's tortured and abused for three days, leaving him a damaged mess. The paladins finally find him and bring him home, but Keith is acting strange, stranger than usual. I obviously don't own Voltron. If you thought that, you're not all there when it comes to brains, thanks for the laugh though. Just got #1 in galra - 11/2/18 Thank you, you wonderful people!
Voltron: Descendants (fanfiction) by CometsTales0328
17 parts Complete
It's been years since the universe had seen the great Paladins of Voltron in battle. Years since those paladins have seen the lions. The universe was saved, so the lions left. Until now. The paladins are older now, and each have their own families. Hunk and Shay decided to settle down, and had a son named Erik. He looked a lot like Hunk, but was very Bulmeran. Shiro met an alien named Hel while on a special mission. The two fell in love and had a baby boy named Kade. Kade had black messy hair, and dark skin like Hel. Pidge didn't end up having any kids, but Matt on the other hand had a daughter named Evelyn. Evelyn was a lot like the siblings, with the same Gunderson charm. Lance settled down with Allura, and had a daughter named Isla. Isla looked very much like Allura, but with Lances brown hair and a strange condition with her skin tone. She ended up with a very light skin tone, due to a strange Altean occurrence. When no Altean father is present, the child takes the skin tone of the closest Altean male. Since that was Coran, Isla ended up with lighter skin, but Lance and Allura had no problems with it. Some time after Allura had passed away, Lance and Keith realized they had feelings for each other. They soon adopted a daughter named Abbey. Abbey had been through a lot regarding families, so she wasn't fond of siblings. Soon enough though, her and Isla became great friends. Even though Pidge had no children, all the kids thought of her as the cool aunt. They were all friends, and hung out quite often. This is the story of the Voltron Descendants. (This is a story me and my friends are writing. The new characters are OC's of ours, and we wanted to do something with them. In this universe, Allura made it past the final battle, but passed away when Isla was young. All of the kids are fairly smart since Pidge educated them, but a few are more impulsive than others.)
