Title: from the threshold of the year to come

Author: Sol1056

Fandom: Voltron: Legendary Defender

Rating: NC-17

Pairing: Shiro/Keith, Lance/Pidge, Allura/Lotor

Warnings: explicit sex (gay), PTSD, discussion of power imbalances, brief discussion of alcoholism, sad drunk people, background parental death, physical disability,

Other notes: office affair, canon disabled character, adoptive family, impostor syndrome, slow burn, misunderstandings, delayed relationship

Length: 60k

Summary:

A new prosthesis, a new job, a new team... Shiro might've found a place he belongs, where he can settle down and get his life together. Too bad that's exactly when he meets the one person who'll turn it all upside-down again.

"This is Dr Shirogane," Allura tells the gathered teams. "He teaches physics at the university."

Shiro can feel his ears getting hot. He's wearing jeans and biker boots, for christ's sake. It's his day off. At least she keeps the introduction simple. If she goes into a recitation of his speciality, he's ready to diffuse the confusion with a joke about studying rocket science. It's one of the only benefits after so many sleepless nights writing his dissertation.

Sometimes, only sometimes, when Sherlock is very far away and absolutely guaranteed not to return for at least three hours, John sits on the sofa and lets the tea make itself.

Title: Kanaar

Warnings: alcohol and drunkenness, background character death, grieving, angst

Other notes: alcohol, family, alien culture

Summary: There were so few he could share any part of his life with now. If he were honest with himself, there had never been many, and with the death of Tain, another huge chunk of his life had been cut away. No more opportunities. At least when he had been alive, the future had not held such irrevocable loneliness. He had been allowed his father for just a few brief minutes, now all he had left was the line of bottles.

Summary: He had been following Xavier’s career for years. He had read and reread and reread again everything the man had written. He had tried, on more occasions than he could count, to recruit Xavier into the Brotherhood, but each request for a meeting had been denied. Aside from his work, no one knew anything about Xavier. Not what he looked like, not the full extent of his power–though from what little they did know, he was by far the most powerful telepath in existence–and not what his intentions were.

The man was a recluse. As far as Magneto knew, Xavier had never once stepped foot outside his impenetrable Westchester manor. And now he was scheduled as the keynote speaker for the largest pro-mutant conference in the world.
