vldtropesfestTitle: For a Second Chance
Trope Showcased: Zarkon/Galra Wins
Author: her-paintstrokes
Rating: T (for language)
Pairing: Shiro/Keith
Content: Presumed dead. Unexpected reunion. First kiss. Enslaved Paladins. Clone theory. Future-fic. Canon divergent. Feelings. Galra!Keith.
Warnings: none
Disclaimer: All recognizable characters belong to Dreamworks, Netflix, the creators of Voltron, and associates. No copyright infringement intended.
Summary: Experience has taught Shiro to expect the worst, but sometimes it felt like the universe delighted in taking that to the absolute limit. To wake up after battle in a Galra stasis chamber, with the ship decaying around him and being torn apart by scavengers was bad enough. Learning that Zarkon had won, and that his ambition had opened a rift that blighted part of the galaxy was devastating. Hearing that Voltron was reviled as a cause of that destruction was heartbreaking, and knowing that the Lions had sacrificed themselves to hold the universes apart crushed yet another part of him. Shiro didn't trust for one moment that the new Emperor was keeping Paladins as "beloved guests" out of a sense of fairness. Then there were the dreams. And that was before he was captured by bounty hunters.
But then again sometimes, just sometimes, in all the mess there's a glimmer of hope.
A reunion may be a chance at finding some happiness in a dark future.
Notes: Huge thanks to the VLD Tropes Mods for organizing this event!
