New River fics posted this week. Thank you for kudos + comments! 🙇

▸ three beats, one quarter note 

Keith/Lotor; Rated T. Gift fic for TereziMakara in the @lionswap exchange. Authors are revealed, so I can claim the blame this one now. You don’t know how much I agonized trying to stay chill about this fic after S4 just... happened to this ship. :’)

On AO3: It’s a dance, more than a fight.

▸ An Intermission

Keith/Shiro; Rated G. A little fluff for @opaldelight​ for reasons, and also because space phones exist and if you think Keith wouldn’t call Shiro from the other side of the universe as soon as he possibly could to make fun of Voltron On Ice, idk what to tell you. 

Though things may look very dark Your dream is not in vain For when do you find the rainbow? Only after rain

Danse and Rose, art commissioned from @opaldelight

I’ve had this scene in mind for almost two years now, this quiet, two-left-feet little dance of theirs -since at least the original an axiom of reducibility ficlet post. Opal helped me conceptualize what I was seeing there, and her lovely art made it look better than I’d ever imagined it. I can’t thank you enough for how sweet this came out. ❤

also: everyone has that one irrelevant minor character with two and a half lines who they will go to war for, and if u think I wouldn’t die for this asshole

Just because he didn’t go through what Shiro did doesn’t mean he doesn’t deserve a rest. I am…concerned.

Yeah this is where I sort of wobble between one concept and the other, because... even if he is a clone, this Shiro did go through everything Shiro has, right? He has Shiro’s memories (from the flashbacks when he’s dying in the pod) and Shiro’s emotional connections and traumas, so we get to that “measure of a man” dilemma - even if all his memories are planted, they are still part of who he is and what shapes him, so is he not a person too?
