    With the Galra Empire finally destroyed and peace taking root throughout the stars, the Lions and Paladins of Voltron were no longer needed. The Lions disappeared among the stars, scattering once more, and their Paladins parted ways and grew old. Some made names for themselves outside of Voltron while others retreated to privacy and peace, but they could still feel, still hear, the faintest traces of their bonds to the Lions.

    And when they began to die, one by one, their Lions came for them, one last time.

    Summary

    Piltover’s Defender of Tomorrow dies on Wednesday evening. By Thursday, the announcement hits the morning gazette, and it won’t leave the news cycle until well past the Sunday edition.

    Zaun’s Machine Herald scoffs the first time he reads it, tossing the stained and torn paper that his apprentice brought down the conveyor behind his shoulder. He is rewiring his left arm again, trying to iron out why his sensors detect a microsecond’s delay between the synapses firing in his brain and the acknowledgement by his mechanical nerves.

    “Natural causes,” he scoffs. “He is what? Sixty years old? Men that rich do not die that young.”

    Summary

    For seven years, Jayce and V were partners at the agency—an unstoppable duo, completely oblivious to their mutually reciprocated feelings—until one day Jayce shows up to work and V is nowhere to be found, only to be told V no longer worked for the Men in Black.

    Two years later, and Jayce is still without answers. He hasn't been able to keep a new partner for very long ever since V's disappearance, and now he's being threatened with one last chance before he's benched from the field indefinitely. At this point, he wonders if it'd be better to just roll over and give up—until one day, on his way home, Jayce bumps into someone familiar. Someone he'd missed terribly.

    Now Jayce finds himself torn between getting to know this different side of V—of Viktor, neuralyzed, a blank slate—and trying, once and for all, to get to the bottom of why Viktor had left the agency in the first place.

    Summary

    Inexplicably, Steve's hand reaches out to touch the carved letters that don’t even spell out Eddie’s real name. “Fuck. Shitty first date. I mean, if you want it to be. Otherwise, it’s just a talk. Guess you’ll have to tell me sometime.” For a heartbeat, he breathes there, pretends, between inhales and exhales, that the scent of Eddie’s cheap cologne, something spicy and soothing, always mixed with earthy weed, twines into the crests of the wind.

    Murmurs after a fashion, “I think he just misses you. And I miss you, and I miss him. And if you were here, you could roll your eyes with me and say something dumb, and I’d huff, and he’d groan, and we’d laugh. It’s all just... It’s all just broken now."

    ---

    Summary

    “You’re—“ No, that’s not the way to say it, Jayce thinks; it’ll set him bristling. “I thought—“

    “Yes,” Viktor cuts in, bristling anyway, the ease in the soft tilt of his head undermined by the tension along his throat, the stiff set of his shoulders. “Will that be an issue?”

    Jayce’s jaw clicks. “Nah. No problem with that.”

    “Good.”

    Viktor says it like that’s it. Like that’s that. Like that’s the subject squared away and put to rest. Like Jayce isn’t going to be thinking about whatever the fuck is going on with that for the next five business days, because he can’t stand discovering something so terribly fascinating and not knowing how it works.



    Jayce, plagued by an uncharitable reputation that he doesn't work well with other alphas, finds out afterward that the enigmatic beta he meets on Progress Day is not, in fact, a beta. This certainly will not pose any issue whatsoever.



    A/B/O-flavored Vikjayce character study. On ownership and betrayal, on longing and belonging.
