Summary
Mike knows it’s probably stupid — sneaking out without his mom’s permission just to walk his friends home. But there are things he simply can’t do, and letting them go alone when half the neighborhood has lost power is one of them. And when Will smiles at him — brighter than before — Mike just knows: even if his mom yells at him later, he won’t regret this decision for a second.
And he doesn’t. Not even when some creature knocks them off the road, clearly intent on taking them. Because at least this way, they’re together.
// Or: Mike ends up in the Upside Down with Will. And somehow — that changes everything.

Summary
Keith has tried to confess his feelings to Lance thirty times. Seriously. Thirty.
And every single time, something went wrong — food allergies, wilting flowers, malfunctioning doors, even a Galra attack. (Well, of course. Wouldn’t be Voltron without them.)
Eventually, Keith’s nerves gave out, and he turned to the last resort: asking the team for help. Who knew their ideas would be even worse than his?
Meanwhile, Lance accidentally overhears a conversation. Only part of it. And now he’s convinced Keith is in love with someone. Someone who isn’t him. (Right?)

Summary
Lance had spent the last month in pain, limping through space with a spine that felt like it had been reassembled by someone who lost the manual. So when Coran finally calibrates the cryopods for full human scans, Lance expects a little discomfort and a lot of embarrassment. What he doesn’t expect is Keith stepping out of his scan with Galra DNA.
The room explodes. Allura’s furious. Coran’s diplomatic. Keith’s having an identity crisis. And Lance? Lance is too tired for this.
But even as his back screams and the room tilts, he stands up—for Keith, for the team, and for the undeniable right to mock Keith forever for being part alien and still shorter than him.

Scientific Study: "How to Tell If You Are a Disney Princess". Author: Keith Kogane by Garden_Secret
Fandoms: Voltron: Legendary Defender
12 Jul 2025

Summary
Keith admits he only started this whole thing out of boredom, or maybe just to prove to Shiro that he does have a hobby beyond constantly training. He still insists it's an experiment, a theory that simply needs to be tested.
Lance, with his tendency to sing, befriend cute animals, and dive into battles with a smile, fits the Disney Princess criteria alarmingly well.
Keith just hasn’t decided exactly which princess yet.
Somewhere along the way, the theory started to crack. Keith doesn’t know when he first caught himself thinking that maybe, just maybe, he didn’t need to prove anything.
Maybe he just didn’t want to admit that he wouldn’t mind being either the prince... or the princess.

Summary
They say time heals all wounds.
Lance calls it bullshit.
Three months without Keith makes him rough, desperate, and ready to shoot at shadows. And then a shadow walks in — with Keith's face, Keith's voice, Keith's stupid hair. Without an ounce of regret.
For that, Lance has a bayard, a list of questions, and zero patience for impostors.

Summary
"What can one person change?" Someone would say — nothing. Because the world is big. The universe is endless. And one person is only a particle in all that infinity.
Mike Wheeler is the first to show them just how wrong they are. And he won’t be the last.
Or rather: On the night of November 6th, 1983, two children disappear — Will Byers and Mike Wheeler. Somehow, this single shift changes the course of everything.

Summary
Every serious army eventually develops protocols. A protocol is a clear command. “Defend” means defend. “Attack” means attack. It’s all simple, logical, and usually so well-established that even the enemy knows what each code leads to.
Team Voltron is not a serious army. In fact, they’re barely an army at all. So, naturally, their protocols turned out… a bit different.
Ever since the formation of the Alliance, there have been rumors of a certain book — an electronic archive of every Voltron protocol ever created. A book full of bizarre acronyms, weird shorthand, and inside jokes that make the paladins either blush or burst out laughing at the mere mention of it.
No one has ever seen it.
But everyone hopes to find it someday.

okay so are the curtains blue for a reason or what (this is a metaphor) by sunflower_J

Summary
Now, someone walked into the room. A boy, awkwardly standing at the side of his bed, looking over him worriedly. His hair was brown and scruffy, and he had big baby doe eyes and a yellow-and-blue horizontally-striped shirt like a cartoon character. The window was lighting him up like he was important to Mike’s narrative. The curtains are blue, thought Mike, this boy is light. I love metaphors. Maybe he was high on the pain meds. Upon seeing him, Mike felt a great affection, a great peace. Plus, he had long eyelashes. Mike almost giggled to himself. He was definitely a little high.
“Hi.” breathed Mike.
“Hi.” he said, hesitating.
“We’re friends?” Mike asked hopefully.
Or: During the Party's final battle with Vecna, Mike is gravely injured and loses his memories. He wakes up in a hospital only remembering a handful of inconsequential little things, like how much he loves a boy who seems like light.

D&D: Do-overs and Destiny by Charlie Rose (Night_Owl6)

Summary
The future wasn't the happy ever after they had all hoped for after all. Instead it was a world where the creatures of the Upside Down ran rampant destroying everything in their path. It was death of their friends and loved ones, and the crippling knowledge that Vecna was minutes away from winning once and for all.
Or so they thought.
It was nothing short of a miracle when the answer to their problems came in the form of a hastily made plan that yet again defied everything they thought they knew. Time travel. With the very fate of the world resting on his shoulders, Mike Wheeler is sent back with only one mission in mind. Stop Vecna and save his friends or die trying.

Summary
In 1983, Mike Wheeler jumps off the Quarry and survives.
In 1987, Mike is in the Upside Down, caught in the thrall of Vecna's torment, and he falls again, this time, without Eleven to catch him, and with his friends and family too late to save him.
Will jumps after him, wraps him in his arms, and makes peace with his death if it means he dies with the boy he loves. The Quarry, barren of water in this realm, is just rocks and dirt, and as the floor rises up to crush them, the world goes black.
They open their eyes in 1985.

“No, no, no, NO! I just got you back! Please, please, Will, please–I can’t lose you, not again! WILL–”

Now, here he was, the summer it all started going too wrong to right.
~~~
After Will sacrifices himself to defeat Vecna, Mike is sent back in time to the beginning of season 3 to prevent any more tragedy
Now, he'll do whatever it takes

Summary
Suddenly, Mike is twelve, teetering on the edge of the quarry. Maybe tomorrow the paramedics will pull him from the same exact place they found Will's body. It’s a comforting thought, morbidly enough. To die for his friends. To be with Will again.
or: Mike Wheeler has no good, horrible, very bad evening.
