Summary
"This should have been gold," Allura murmurs as she fastens the collar around Shiro's throat. "Solid gold, warm to the touch. That's what you would have had, had you been my imperial consort."
Shiro and Allura both want things that they're not supposed to want. Shiro, surprisingly, is the one who's okay with that.

Summary
“So, what’re doing all the way out here?” Matt asks. “I’m flattered, but I’m not exactly a rebel asset anymore. Pidge has known where I am for a while and this is the first time you’ve visited; you haven’t been jumping at the chance to see me. Why now?”
“No, I haven’t,” Shiro admits. “I thought the past should stay in the past.”
“Wow, wouldn’t that be great,” Matt says. “The past in the past. Just imagine.”
“I’m here for a reason,” Shiro says.
Matt snorts. “Ah. So not just to see me again.”
“No,” Shiro says. “I’m here for a favor. A really big one.”
After a close call with Lotor’s forces, Shiro and Allura reach out to Matt for help. This might get more complicated than they expected.

Summary
“You are toast, Kogane,” Lance chants, aflush with impending victory, “you are toast, you are yesterday’s burned bread, I’m gonna kick your ass so hard you’ll have bruises for the next week, I am the fucking king of Rainbow Ro—”
“Do you want to have sex with me?” Keith blurts out.
Koopa Troopa goes zooming off the road, hurtling into total blank nonexistence, which is convenient, considering that’s where Lance’s higher reasoning just went too.
“...Okay, distracting your opponent into losing doesn’t count as winning,” Lance says. “I’m not putting that up on the tally board.”
Keith and Lance’s first time doesn’t go like either one of them planned. That’s definitely a good thing.

Summary
"It’s taken a lot of time, tears, and blood, but Princess Allura of the Altean Empire and the Paladins of Voltron are starting to be names that garner respect throughout the galaxy, as opposed to the old standard responses of fear, bitterness, aching messianic hope, and Lance’s personal favorite, where have you been all this time and what do you mean, you’re it, we thought you were coming to save us. You can’t eat respect, though, and you definitely can’t patch up your leaking HVAC pipes with it, so sooner or later, the Castle has to touch down to resupply and make repairs."
Things take a turn for the worse, and Lance confronts what it means to be a parent in wartime.

Summary
“Maze stays silent for a moment and then asks in a rush:
“Hunk also said that most human males don’t gestate infants, unless they’re like you. Are you a higher rank than everyone else? Did you get breeding privileges because you’re a paladin? Why didn’t Shiro get breeding privileges, too? Is it because he’s defective?”
After Shiro and Allura announce their baby plans, Lance and his daughter have the birds and the bees talk. And the gender talk. And the disability talk. And then the birds and the bees talk again.

Summary
"The trouble begins at breakfast, which means that it’s barely past six in the morning when the nonsense starts to go down, because it turns out that both Galra kits and whatever the hell Xio is have circadian rhythms exactingly tuned to ensuring that their parents never get any sleep at all."
Keith and Lance's family grows by one. Parenting is hard, siblings are harder, and sometimes love isn't enough.

Summary
It would be so easy, Fíli thinks. To gather up all his fear for Kíli and the Company, the shame of his ignoble death, the aches and pains and little disappointments of living, and let them all fall from his hands. To see his father again, now only a bright-haired laughing blur in his memory. Fíli is dead, and his family will cut their beards and ashen their brows, but Kíli will have run and Thorin will have fought and they will live on. Fíli is dead and this is where he belongs.
"And the other option?" he asks, softly.
i.e., Fíli brings his family home from the Underworld.

It was a story about Castiel, first and foremost, though Dean and Sam had cameo appearances in it as well.

Summary
Love is the natural oblivion for us, not death: / the finality of utter consumption, as planets / are eaten by their suns, a tongue transposed by fire / into a thousand-part harmony of gravity and rock.

It's the twelfth form of Quick Bird on Hot Sand all over again: bending her body to a shape impossible and strange, right over left hand, forcing her limbs to adhere to the pattern.

Summary
The thing is, he's pretty sure he existed, once; pretty sure he loved, and occasionally hated, and was more than this eternal game of cat-and-mouse, this cruel either/or, architecture or anatomy.
