Summary: Set after Season One, Episode 11: Shiro and Keith are hunted on an abandoned desert planet by the Galra Empire, and when the Druid who fought Keith on the infamous “space base” joins the attack, he gives Shiro the greatest gift - or the greatest curse - his memories from his time as a prisoner.

Shiro couldn’t deny the feeling of déjà vu that swept over him the moment he stepped onto the “tongue” of the Blue Lion. The sound of scampering footsteps, the subsequent clapping of paws upon his shoulders, and then a sudden warmth upon Shiro’s cheeks, like a cat licked him –thankfully, he was the last person to enter. No one saw him stumble and then stare, flabbergasted at nothing before him – though Shiro saw in his mind a rambunctious blue lion, all friendly and excited, dancing around his boots before dashing after Lance. Finally – Finally, her paladin was here, and her pride would be together again – because of Shiro.

When he found Blue again in the cockpit, Shiro closed his eyes and imagined digging his fingers into Blue’s fur, scratching behind her ears and hearing her purr.

After Green broke free of her vine constraints, Shiro felt a furry warmth brush against his hip with a trilling purr of appreciation, and when Yellow entered her hanger, a tuff of golden fur caressed Shiro’s jaw and cradled his cheek.

For some reason, as Shiro watched “Kitty Rose” soar out of the ship, he let out a relieved sigh. He hadn’t feared for the other lions’ safety like he had Red’s, and he went with Pidge to find her father and brother in part because he wasn’t sure Red would want to see him, like he unconsciously remembered why she was upon Sendak’s ship.

But then she was in flight, and in his mind, she snarled, still furious at him, but Shiro brought her paladin to her, for which she would always be grateful. So she once more embraced him, wrapping her tail about his waist and holding him close.
