OH MY GOD THIS IS IN KOA AND WHEN I FIRST READ IT I MADE A NOTE THAT SAID "VELARIS?" BUT NOW I REALIZE THIS IS CRESCENT CITY AND I'M CRYING

Aelin: *sacrifices herself and is finally ready for it to be over*

Aelin: *seals the wyrdgate once and for all*

Aelin: *Falls through the multiverse as an incorporeal essence, desperate to find her home and her mate*

Aelin: *Sees Rhysand*

no cook only eat. no chef only death

lotor and coran are the judges because they both graduated from culinary school at the same time

lotor: “this is my fellow judge corny sorry i mean coran” 

coran: “this is my friend lotor!!! but i call him lots-of-moisture”

the cooking team pairs are like: hunk/lance, allura/keith, pidge/shiro, rolo/nyma, ezor/acxa, hagrid/zarkon

allura: “hi we’re allura and keith. coworkers, mortal enemies, and he pissed in my sink one time. say hi keef” keith mumbling something incoherent:

zarkon: “braaaiiiiins. braaiiiiiiinnnns” haggar: “the next contestant to talk to me gets a steak knife in the gut” 

coran laughing nervously:

lotor swiping everyone’s jewellery: “can i interest you in an online pyramid scheme of mine?” everyone: “lotor no scamming!” 

lotor smiling: “this is my 5th false identity”

obviously pidge and shiro can’t cook so he takes his shirt off and flexes in front of the diners while pidge microwaves some hot pockets

lance: “hi we’re lance and hunk. models and ex boyfriends” hunk: “lance we never dated” lance: “true but you wish you could get it”

allura whispering: “so what do you think of the models” keith, staring at lance for the 56th minute straight without blinking: “hnnngh pretty” 

allura smiling: “wow keef you are so eloquent”

acxa: “do you accept bribes” coran: “ahaha no little girl!” acxa: “fuck you dinosaur”

nyma: “stop hurting him!!!” rolo fistfighting a producer:

lotor: “your dish. it fuckin sucks” shiro: “aw. no hate just love directioner family 5ever xoxo” lotor: “what the fuck”

haggar and zarkon lighting an oil fire under the stove and ripping the sink out of the wall:

hunk: “we have to find out what the other teams are cooking so we can win” lance: “i got this”

lance: “hey handsome~” keith giggling and flushing, pulling out his wallet and car keys: “take whatever you want”

acxa: “did i learn from this experience? no. but did i make new friends along the way?”

He struggles with knowing what to call her. Mom? Mother? Blade Co-owner? 

Krolia, deadpan: “Just call me Special K.” 

Keith, turning around and walking away immediately: “No. I’m not doing this. Goodbye.” 

Long silences that aren’t awkward. Just two broody broods walking the halls. 

They both have terrible insomnia. Krolia tries to give Keith medication for it but it’s some Galra stuff that just makes him KO for 14 hours like a deadman and is thus entirely ineffective. 

“Keith fix your shirt.” “I didn’t come here to be lecTURE-”

Krolia: *arrives anywhere after Keith does* Keith, with that shit-eating smirk: “You’re late.”

 They both like quiet places like Olkarion. When she goes there for the first time, she remarks that she loves it. Keith tells her that it’s one of his top 5 planets he’s been to. She asks him what the other 4 are, and gets several lovely hours of listening to her son talk about his special interest. She gives him a soft look the entire time, not sure how to convey how grateful she is that they found one another again. 

After the war is done, Keith actually gets to go back to Earth as his home, since he’s found not only his mother, but also gained a family of his own. 

Krolia, seeing Keith’s shack: “Bitch you live like this?”

Krolia notices Keith’s little crush on Lance like, instantly. 

At first she doesn’t say anything. 

At first. 

*After a conversation with Lance leaves Keith blushing softly with a wistful smile: “So!” “No.” 

“Your Dad reeled me in with his jokes as well, it’s okay.” 

“Keith this is getting embarrassing.” “Yeah well, guess I’ll keep doing it until I die.” “…No?” 

She tells him all the stories she has of his childhood. Keith learns how to cry over someone coming back, instead of leaving him behind. 

Krolia constantly wonders if she’s being a bad mother to Keith. She knows she has a lot of work to do; that Keith being closed off isn’t annoying, it’s natural considering what happened. The beginning of their relationship features a lot of misunderstandings and unanswerable questions. 

They work it out. Eventually. 

The first time Keith calls Krolia “Mom”, it’s after her ship goes down during a battle. He’s the first one there, prying open the hatch. She hears his voice call down through the dark, and wants to tell him she’s fine. 

“MOM? MOM, are you alright?!” 

She cries. 

Krolia? Oh, she gets him the FUCK out of the Blade when she learns her son has almost died not ONCE, but TWICE over the course of his service.

Krolia, bursting into his room: “Pack your bag. Now.” Keith: “You can’t tell me what to-” “Did I stutter, Keith?”

 5 minutes later: “I thought I told you to pack your bag.” Keith: *holding up his jacket, pants, shirt, and go-go boots and nothing else* “I did…?” Krolia, trying not to cry: “This is fucking ridiculous. We’re going to the mall. Fucking cannot BELIEVE you have NOTHI-”  

“Hey, Mom?” “Yes?” “How did you tell Dad…how you felt?” Krolia, hiding the fact that she waited until he said something first: “W…with courage…”
