The Galra Empire is stronger than ever, especially now that Voltron is no longer a threat and Keith is overwhelmed with his duty of being the Black Paladin. The only one who notices Keith's struggle is his right hand man. Lance is doing everything in his power to protect Keith from the harshness of the universe and his own demons, all the while trying to overcome his own insecurities. This fanfiction takes place between season 3 and derails afterwards, with a lot more Klance. I own nothing of the beautiful creation, except this idea.
