Summary
“Aw,” the druid coos, “So much fire. So much rage in that trembling heart of yours. It’d be a shame if I simply quashed it, wouldn’t it?”
Keith stares straight at the druid. He bores his eyes into the shine of its face and looks his reflection dead in the eye. “Fuck—you.”
The druid tips its head all the way back till its face is far out of sight and it laughs. It shrills and twitches and ticks and shakes. “So much fire!” It shrieks. “So much fire and it’s—”
The druid reaches forward and wraps its long fingers around Keith’s face. They’re like icicles searing his skin with blinding cold. It might’ve drawn blood. He doesn’t know.
“—all gone.” The druid faces him again. “All gone.”
Keith shivers under the touch. He doesn’t understand. “What?”-
A Blade mission goes astray when Keith has an unfortunate run-in with a druid. He falls sick soon after, and is handed into Voltron’s care until he recovers. While he’s there, he contemplates his place in the universe, the depth of his illness and its mysterious connection to Lance, and why he’s not getting better.

Summary
He totally lied to Shiro. He doesn’t want to be alone. His failures aren’t gone—they simply settled to the bottom of him like sediment. But now the sediment rises, polluting the waterways as it lingers within him, thick and irremovable.
How sure are the doctors that they removed that parasite from his body? What if a piece is still in there, clinging to life within Keith’s muscle, feeding off the blood that pumps through his veins, waiting to strike? He's desperate to open his arms back up himself. To peer at his veins, to pick through his tendons; to ensure not a trace of that monster remains.
OR
Having escaped Bob's game show, the team is left to deal with the lasting repercussions.

Summary
“It has everything you need,” said the salesman. “And everything you want. And everything you just….” He squinted, pinching his fingers together as if trying to recall something. “Everything you forgot you needed.”
“Uh huh,” said Keith. “Sounds legit.”
-
A dubious trade for some machine parts leads Keith to making a deal with an shifty salesman, or more specifically, the magic box in his possession. But the trade comes at a price, and slowly but surely, Keith realizes that everyone and everything is beginning to forget him.

Summary
“You said you could switch us,” Keith points out. “Is this not what you meant?”
“It’s not that,” the queen says. She looks guilty. “It’s… There’s just…” She clears her throat. Sits up straighter. “Unfortunately,” she says clearly, “there’s only one paladin who can go.”
That weird look comes over her again. She’s staring right at Lance.

Or: When Voltron is granted a glimpse into an alternate reality, they learn that they're headed for the same terrible fate. In order to avoid it, they'll have to temporarily trade their Lance with the other — because he's the only paladin left.

Summary
Will tried to swallow down the last of his fear, but his throat felt like sandpaper.
“Take me.”
Those milky eyes fixed on him, and a warped brow lifted, as if asking him to repeat himself.
Even though the cold seeped into him, like he was drifting backwards into a freezer, Will didn’t take the way out.
“Take me,” he repeated, his voice still shaky, but he held Vecna’s gaze. “Take me instead of Holly. I’ll come to you. I won’t fight. Just finish it already.”
Vecna was silent for a long, agonizing moment, but then, a smile curled across his twisted face.
“Deal.”---
Will offers himself to Vecna in exchange for Holly’s safety.
Mike takes this about as well as can be expected.- Language:
