In a world, a long, long time ago, lived a crystal. The lands flourished and bloomed until the crystal cracked, the shard lost to time. There came two races with the crystal cracked, the Skeksis and the Mystics. With both races dying, only one could save them. His name was Keith, the last known living Gelfling. He was the chosen one. And he has no clue.
NOTE: This takes place in the Dark Crystal universe but still has my own twists to it. I'm basing this story solely off the movie and my own imagination. A few tidbits of knowledge that would make this story make a lil more since are:
-This one-shot is only based off the movie, not the comics nor the upcoming (as of 2019) show.
-All of the species named here (Gelfling, Skeksis, Mystics, Podlings) are all more humanoid than what is canon in the Dark Crystal movie but you can still image them as you wish.
-The Skeksis are the Galra. (The Mystics AREN'T the Alteans though.) Image the Skeksis as more Galra-like or more Skeksis-like, do what fits your imagination.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the Dark Crystal (nor do I own Voltron), which includes the cover art and many aspects of the story, nor do I own any characters used in this story. All I own is my inspiration.
(Please feel free to tell my if you see any grammatical errors.)

Shattered Pieces (Book 1)
Voltron and OC AU called Crystal Faith. Everything seems to be going just fine in Shiro's life. He's a senior officer at the Galaxy Garrison (Crystal Core) along with his fiancé Adam and his daughter just enrolled as a cadet. But he keeps having nightmares and it's starting to mess with him. There's a battle with the Galra on Earth that leaves everyone shaken, but leaves Shiro in worse conditions than before. (Voltron is not necessarily a part of this story.) None of the art is mine. I will alert you if any of the art is. (Shiro is a winged lion, Adam is human, Pidge is half Altean, and half Galren, Holly is a weird, human thing with wings, Iantha is a catfolk, Lance is human, Luna is a werewolf, Percy is human, Keith is half galra, Krolia is a full Galra and that's about it.) (Krolia is NOT Keith's mother in this AU, Pidge is Shiro's adopted daughter, Adam doesn't die, and Holly, Iantha, Percy and Luna are NOT my OCs. They belong to a very good friend of mine.) (There will be Adashi/Shadam and Klance. NO SMUT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, BECAUSE I CAN BARELY READ IT, LET ALONE WRITE ABOUT THAT.) Crystal Bearers are protecters of the universe and all that magical stuff. A crystal fuses itself to a person, giving them the powers of that crystal and the ability to fuse with other Crystal Bearers. (Cool right? My friend made this all up, none of this was my idea, so you can say a big thank you to her for making this happen.) So the spiral light at the center of the universe was shattered into 9 shards and the universe has been in chaos ever since. Because the spiral light shattered, the Crystal Core was formed, and the Galra have been invading peaceful planets to them more power for the empire, and all that stuff. So Crystal Bearers are sent out on missions, freeing captured planets, freeing prisoners, recruiting new Crystal Cadets, stopping space piracy and other junk like that. I don't want to spoil anything else, so you have to read the book to find out what happens!Complete
Deep Blue~ Klance Fanifiction, VLD ~
Trigger warning: Blood And really emotional ----------------------------------------------------------------- Being alone is one thing, suffering alone is another. Suffering in space all alone can kill you, why? Because its killing Lance McClain. Lance has been crumbling from the inside out. He wants to tell, he really does, but he was scared. So instead he tried to kill him self with poisons of all sorts. Keith saw him. He was late. Not by much, but just a little. They loved each other dearly, but scared to ask, Then they were pushed into a void by the black paladin Then Lotor came into their lives. Then they were forced to love each other, but it wasn't bad for them. They were gone for a year. Then it all Goes Down. Wish to continue? Yes/No . . . I do not own Voltron: legendary Defender nor the characters, I simply own the fanfiction and that is all. Started: April 14, 2018 Ended: April 1, 2019Complete
You're my home ~ Klance
[ COMPLETED ] "We're going home." ~~~ The team had defeated Lotor and left him amongst the quintessence, and were now returning to Earth. Many of them thought this was long waited and were very excited. Lance was going to see his siblings, and meet his nephew for the first time. Keith was going to show his Mum around, her not having seen the place in 18 years. Pidge's family was finally going to be reunited. Hunk was going to see his mother again! Shiro was hoping to help out the garrison with gathered information, and enjoy his time with the fellow paladins. Allura, Coran and Romelle were going to learn the culture of earthlings. They were all set for an adventure and fun time. What they were faced with was not the Earth the knew and love. ~~~ "My family. They're all gone. Keith. This is not Home." --------- Important Info bellow: ~ cover (and art on it) belongs to me [although is a redraw] ~ most artwork in the book, however, are not my own ~ disclaimer: I do not own Voltron or any of the (main) characters in this book ~ plot is mine ~ First few chapters are angst (Langst, Kangst, and Klangst) ~ Heaps of Klance fluff (slow start) ~ A bit of Langst/Klangst coz we need that shit ~ THIS IS NOT A SMUT FANFICTION ~ Set after season 6 Trigger warning? I guess. Mentions of death, depressing thoughts.Complete

Take Over
"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!Complete
Stardust (A Voltron Fanfic)
Before I tell you my story, you should probably know something. Everything that I'm about to tell you is real. This isn't some sappy story to get you to just think about what might be there; this is something that shows what is out there because this is my life. And I'm honestly not sure that it ends happy, but you'd have to listen to me to find out, wouldn't you? - Disclaimer: Unfortunately I can't take any credit for any of the paladins of Voltron but some characters such as the main character and a few others I can take credit for.
