'THE 8TH WHEEL'

Because Prince Lotor's fate in season 6 still haunts me in my dreams, I'm going to make this lil fic that follows Lotor's horribly handled struggle to fit in with the Galaxy Garrison

Lotor has always been a true champion at using his words to get what he wants, when he wants. He always had a plan, even for the most obscure of contingencies.  'Yes, Acxa, I do plan for when our ship accidentally gets stuck in a weblum's mouth!' He was always ready, always calculating, and always correct.

But after suffering a massive exposure to Quintessence that completely skews his entire life's 10,000 years of planning, Lotor finds himself treading water to keep up with everyone.

The Galaxy Garrison was not at all where Lotor pictured himself after accessing the rift but here he was, worrying more about where he was supposed to sit for lunch rather than Zarkon breathing down his neck with a knife pressed to his back.

And, in all honesty, Lotor is still unsure of whether he preferred the knife to this drama.

Basically if you want some silly and wholesome lotor content, here you go

(Starts out kinda angsty cuz still gotta get that boy outta the rift, then transitions to more goofy setting for the poor purple boy)

(WARNING FOR YALL HARDCORE SHIPPERS OUT THERE! - - I'm a Lotura fan -those two space elves are just so precious and I LIVE for the aesthetic- so Lotura may turn out to be subplot, plus KLANCE IS GOLD so if you get klance vibes from this fic you're right on the money)

Toumia by Allie_Luthel
8 parts Complete
After barely fighting off a fleet of Galra ships, Voltron lands on the planet Toumia that is surrounded by three suns, humbly expecting thanks, gratitude, and food. Not necessarily in that order. However, as soon as they land on the ground, the leader of the Ibhe Htua, Pedagogue Tuaste, tells them that they did a good job, but there's a lot to learn before they even have a hope of defeating Zarkon and his evil empire. Grudgingly, they accept her offer to train them. However, a new threat to the universe arises soon after they land on Toumia, one that is completely unrelated to Zarkon and the Galra Empire. One of the many societies on the planet with purple grass has developed a way to help the universe, but the Voltron Team knows that this will do anything but help the universe, and that they must stop it at all costs. Together, the five Paladins make up Voltron, Defender of the Universe. And what do defenders of the universe do? They defend it. * * * The timeline for this fanfiction within seasons 1-2 of VLD are unknown, for reasons that will be clear by the end of this particular fanfiction. As such, the characters will know how to do certain things, and not know other things. Because of this, there will be spoilers for some things but not others, and seeing as this happens somewhere within the spacetime between the episodes of seasons 1 and 2. It's weird. Hang with me, it'll all make sense by chapter sixteen. Maybe fifteen. I haven't written that far out yet. And just as a forewarning: in this, I will be doing several play-on-word jokes that may seem offensive. THEY ARE NOT. Google the meanings of said words, and you'll see why I made them, if you're that mad. They're funny, mostly because of the reactions of the characters. Also, don't take this too seriously. There is literally no forth wall in this, which is really fun to write. Good luck, and may the Force be with you.
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)
Shattered Pieces (Book 1) by Pidgeholtgunderson
16 parts Complete
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!
A Beauty Like You | (Lance x Lotor) by athenamaddox
32 parts Complete Mature
The Galra turns his chin up again. "Why do you laugh, paladin of Voltron? Can you not see the odds have fallen undoubtedly in my favor?" As Lance wiped the blood from his mouth, a weak smirk settled on his lips. "It's not so unfortunate-if this is how I die, I'm at least lucky enough to have a beauty like you in my sights, right?" • Lance McClain is losing everything. First the Blue Lion, then Red-and now, the trust of his team. He's always been willing to do what it takes to defeat Zarkon, even if it separates him from the people he cares about. But as the Voltron team begins to lose faith in Lance, he finds himself carving out a new path-one that he is confident will end with Zarkon's defeat. The only problem? This new strategy belongs to Prince Lotor, his enemies' son. Balancing his loyalty to Voltron and his drive to defeat the evil that has plagued the universe for too long, Lance will have to decide who he trusts-and how much he's willing to sacrifice for the greater good. • At some point during some stars' lifespans, similarly to Earth's sun, the star reaches a point where fusion ceases, and it runs out of helium at its core-and when the core begins to burn, that's when everything rips away from itself, clouds of stardust taking over the space surrounding and forming a stunning nebula. Lance felt the burning at his core. And then, like a starburst-he felt the stardust rush from his core to the tips of his fingers and beyond-he was dripping in it, the stardust, the quintessence-and knew in that moment that whatever he needed to happen, would happen. The would be nothing he could not do. Nothing he could not be. • Cover art by iaclos on Fiverr • (This will be a Voltron AU - it is not set after any specific episode or season, but it can certainly be read as an alternative to Season 8. This will also feature some deserved #Adashi and some #Klance conflict ;D )
