"If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream-and not make dreams your master;
If you can think-and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings-nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And-which is more-you'll be a Man, my son!"
-"If", by Rudyard Kipling. December 30, 1865 - January 18, 1936
Tbh doesn't have much to do with the story, but read through it because ... Please?
Its basically a Voltron AU from a "Different Perspective" Now, this title would have gone well if the story was Voltron and from the Galran perspective, but I wanna do this so there's no stopping me, until I get bored. Then I stop. Yeah. Enjoy I guess.
The war may be over, but other realities are confirmed... The paladins have crossed over... What's to stop others from visiting our own? What's to stop them from trying to take over? Follow the journals of the paladins through a world of survival and war. There's more to a person than meets the eye-- we've compiled pages from their personal journals to piece together what really happened in the fight for freedom once again. With their parents being who they are, the pressure is on. How can these kids live up to their names? What can a team of teenagers do to save the universe? From tragic backstories to close-call cases, full detail battles to lesbian romance, these journals somehow covered it all. They deserve more than a passing glance.
'course I don't own Voltron, and I don't own any of the art I don't claim.
K there are obviously going to be spoilers, if u haven't finished the series (first of all, shame) wait to read this. Or I'll put warnings in there, but if you want to make 100% sure you get no spoilers, go renew your Netflix subscription :)
Lastly, just enjoy this! So far, I'm having fun writing it. My friend (check out her own Voltron fanfic in her profile, American Popsicle. it's an oc story, and it's really good, trust me) is editing for me and I;m editing for her. I love y'all, and as they say on Potterless, Wizard On!
