Summary
Usually that look of distrust, of distaste, is rooted in the Galra blood. In the near-expectation people have that one day he’s going to lose himself to it.
But he’s never had them look at him like this because of his father, before. Because he dares to call himself human, because he dared to survive.
It’s worse. Somehow, this is so much worse.

(OR: hurt people hurt people, and after the war, there is plenty of hurt to go around. Keith's burden was set in stone the moment Krolia crashed down to Earth.)

Summary
Captured by the Galra, Keith is given two choices- either lose himself to Haggar's experimentation, or take what might be his only chance at freedom- joining the Galra prince, Lotor. While he might not trust the prince, he'd rather take his chances with him than the witch- even if that means publicly betraying Voltron. It's not like he can go back anyways, after what Haggar did to him.
At least this way, he can keep a close eye on the Galra Prince- or at least, that's the plan. Actually carrying it out proves to be far more difficult than he could have expected, leading him to realize that the real threat might never have been Zarkon.

Summary
Takashi Shirogane is raised in a noble lineage of monster hunters, tasked with protecting humanity from things that would prey on them. He’s always believed in upholding justice, and protecting the innocent. But after a chance encounter with one of the creatures he hunts, he realizes many of those so-called ‘monsters’ are innocent too, and the cause he serves isn’t as noble as he’d been led to believe.
So he runs. And he hides. And slowly but surely, he comes to learn more about the cryptid world, and finds another family of his own making. He protects those who need it, and he earns his own redemption.
And all the while, something dark lurks in the city he calls home, whispered of in shadows, threatening the people he’s sworn to protect. Something called Galra.

Summary
Five years after Allura's sacrifice fixed the universe but broke those closest to her, the former Paladins return to New Altea for their annual reunion.
However, the universe is far from at peace. War rages between the Coalition and a vengeful remnant of the Galra Empire; “The Fragment”.
Keith believes they’re building something or plotting revenge, but before he can persuade his old friends to join him in investigating, a former ally attacks New Altea, forcing the Paladins on a dangerous journey into the Uncharted Regions.
My take on what happened after Season 8, with some world-building, callbacks, and a lot of action. Mostly Lance and Keith centric, but everyone gets their moments to shine.
