In the Eye of a Hurricane (BOTGD 2 Oneshot)
(Takes place right after My Little Grey)
Chief Grey and her mother, Ingrid Bergman walked together through the portal with their arms wrapped around each other with the council and the villagers behind them. Both the Chief and her mother watched as families reunited...couples reunited...sons reunited with their parents after 2 brutal weeks of separation, and Grey couldn't help but feel a mix of anger and sadness. Because she couldn't protect her island...because of Ai and her pirates, her people...her family experienced such pain. She wanted nothing more than to look Ai in the eye and find out why, but she couldn't worry about that right now. All she wanted tonight...was to be with her family.
She was suddenly jolted out of her thoughts when a hand landed on her shoulder. She turned only to see Hroar looking at her.
"Why don't you go find your family, kid?" Hroar said to her gently. "We can handle things here."
Grey was immediately thankful that Hroar immediately knew what she needed. As much as she wanted to help her people get settled back in, her heart ached to be with her husband and their children and her beloved dragon. She made a mental note to find Ander, Asha, and Warren later, but right now, she wanted to be with Brandt, Sven, Dagny, Kari, Shadow, and Ingrid. "Thank you, Hroar," she said, "but...please come find me if you need help."
"Of course," he said.
Grey and Ingrid nodded in thanks and walked over to her and Brandt's house to find Brandt and the kids. As they walked over, Grey looked over and saw that they were walking by the prison, and she was able to see Lila and a few other rebels leading the pirates into the cells. The anger burned inside her again as she glared at them. She wanted...
Ingrid quickly stepped in front of her placing her hand on Grey's cheek so that her daughter was looking at her. "Don't worry about them, my little Grey," she said. "They're in prison...locked up. They can't do anything to you or your family anymore."
Grey smiled at her mother and nodded. "You're right, Mom," she said. "Come on, your son-in-law and grandchildren are eager to see you."
Ingrid smiled, and mother and daughter continued on and soon enough arrived at Grey and Brandt's house. Sure enough, they found Brandt, Sven, Dagny, and Kari waiting outside with all four dragons, Shadow, Pyro, SkySinger, and Scoot.
Brandt looked up and smiled. “Hey, there you are,” he said as he walked over to his wife and mother-in-law.
“Brandt!” Ingrid said as she walked forward hugging her son-in-law close.
“It’s good to see you, Ingrid,” he said hugging her in return.
As Grey watched Ingrid and Brandt, she noticed her three children out of the corner of her eye, and she saw that they were looking up at the house. It was then that she saw it. She had seen it a few times whenever the pirates took her out to relieve herself and heard Ai working on it from when she was her prisoner. Sven, Dagny, and Kari’s bedroom window was turned into a balcony. The pirate Ai had the gall to take over their home…to imprison her, Brandt, and their man…to whip Brandt in front of her…to make her feel lower than dirt and to imprison her in her own home. Anger boiled inside of her again as she glared at the balcony and clenched her fists so hard that they were shaking.
"Mom...?"
Grey was jolted out of her thoughts when she saw her three children looking at her with concern etched on their faces.
"A-Are you okay?" Sven asked.
Grey could only smile as the anger inside her subsided...and her fists unclenched while she focused on three of her favorite people. She remembered what her mom told her about what they did during those two weeks, and pride and love swelled in her chest as she opened her arms to them bringing them in for a group hug. "Yes, sweetheart," she said, "I'm fine. I...just...don't like what happened to our house."
"Hey," Brandt said placing a hand on her shoulder, "we'll fix it."
"Absolutely," Ingrid said pulling her daughter in for a side hug. "Now, why don't I bring you all to my hut? I can check you over starting with Brandt, and then we will go to my house and have a nice family dinner with your cousins, Warren, Asha, and Ander."
"That sounds like a great idea, Mom," Grey said smiling.
——-
With that, Ingrid led her daughter, son-in-law, and three grandchildren to her small healer hut, and she wasted no time in making sure that Brandt was first to be checked over. Thankfully, Brandt was wearing his vest, so Sven, Dagny, and Kari didn't see the lashings on his back. Thankfully, Indigo didn't disclose any details to them about that.
"You kids should wait outside," Grey said gently as she and Ingrid walked Brandt into the hut. "We'll come get you when Dad is taken care of."
"What?" Sven asked with confusion in his voice. "Come on, Mom, we can handle a few cuts and bruises."
"Plus, we want to be there for Dad," Dagny added crossing her arms.
"Please?" Kari added sheepishly.
"Guys, I really appreciate it," Grey said trying to keep her frustration in check, "I do, but...it's not something you need to see. Dad..." she sighed, "Dad was hurt pretty bad, and we don't want you to see it, okay?"
The three teenagers looked at each other sighed in defeat. They managed to hide their increased worry when Grey explained that Brandt was hurt. "Alright, fine," Sven said, "we'll wait out here."
Grey sighed in relief hugging them all close. "We'll call you in once he's done," she said. Then she slowly released them and walked inside the hut closing the door behind them. She absolutely hated leaving them in the dark, but she and Brandt needed to figure out how exactly to disclose everything they went through in captivity to Sven, Dagny, and Kari. Seeing scars all over their father's back was not the way to do that especially when she herself was haunted by the scars that marred her husband’s back. She clenched the door handle tightly until her hand shook as the memory once again resurfaced...Brandt screaming...the whip cracking...her crying and begging for Ai to stop it...Ai's cold and uncaring demeanor.
"I'm so sorry this happened to you, dear," she heard her mother saying to Brandt behind her jolting her out of the memory.
She could hear Brandt sighing but didn't dare turn around not ready to see the scars. "I'm sorry that I couldn't hold out longer for Grey," he said sadly.
Guilt and shame swirled around each other in the Chief's chest as she rested her forehead on the door. Her husband was sorry for not withstanding the pain longer...but she was the one to blame...for not protecting him in the first place.
"You have nothing to be sorry for," Ingrid said gently.
The Chief steeled herself silently thanking the gods that her mother and husband clearly didn't hear her come in. She needed a moment to herself, but now, she needed to be with Brandt and her mother. She took a deep breath and turned around, and sure enough, there was Ingrid and Brandt. Brandt had his back to her leaving his scars in full view, and it was easy to see that they weren't as fresh as they were 16 days ago. But they were still there. Her mother had her back to her as well checking the scars to see if there was an infection.
"H-How bad is it, Mom?" Grey asked after a moment.
Ingrid turned to her daughter with a sad smile on her face. "Don't worry, sweetheart," she said. "He's going to be fine. It doesn't look like there's any signs of infection."
"Well, that's because your daughter did a great job cleaning them up," Brandt said looking over his shoulder smiling at his wife. However, his face fell when he saw the look of sadness and guilt on her face…and the absence of their three teenaged children. “Where are the kids?”
“I had them wait outside,” Grey said as she walked up to her husband and mother. “I thought it would be better if they didn’t see, you know? That we could talk to them about it…later?”
Brandt nodded agreeing with his wife. He then slowly held out his hand inviting Grey to sit next to him. “Hey, what did I tell you?” he said gently but firmly. “This isn’t your fault. It’s theirs.”
“But—” Grey tried to protest.
“Not your fault, Grey,” Brandt interjected, “and I will spend the rest of my life reminding you of that if I have to.”
Grey couldn’t help but chuckle lightly with a small smile. “Okay,” she said, “but if that’s the case, then I will remind you that you have nothing to be sorry for either. I don’t want you to feel guilty for not holding on. You’re human.”
Brandt smiled as he leaned over and kissed Grey on the lips. “Deal,” he mumbled against her lips. He was thrilled that he could kiss his beautiful wife again. For 16 days, they were robbed of holding each other…kissing each other…touching each other when Ai and her pirates cruelly separated them, but that was over. They were finally together again where they belonged, but he had to remember that they were in the presence of his mother-in-law with their teenaged children right outside. They would have plenty of time to be alone together later. He pulled away with that thought in his mind.
“Alright, let me get some oils on these scars,” Ingrid said, “and then I can put new bandages on. Then you’ll be good as new.”
“Mom?” Grey said.
“Yes, my little Grey?” Ingrid said.
“Will he…will Brandt…” she sighed, “will these scars…are they…are they permanent?” She already knew the answer, but she wanted to hear it from Ingrid.
Ingrid sighed sadly. “I’m afraid so, Grey,” she replied, “but don’t worry. Only the skin was broken, so it wouldn’t affect him long term.”
“Okay,” Grey said nodding taking Brandt’s hand into hers holding it tightly. She was glad that Brandt wouldn’t be affected by the whipping he received, but…that didn’t stop the anger and guilt that welled up inside her.
——
After Ingrid wrapped fresh bandages around the scars and checked the rest of the Felman family, they found Lila, Jari, Kettil, Deo, Warren, Asha, Ander, and their family and went to Ingrid’s house for dinner. The family shared a large hearty meal, and Grey was more than thrilled to share this night in celebration of the island being taken back and the Rebellion rescuing them from captivity. She had almost completely forgotten about the pirates…almost.
Later that night, the group dispersed, and they all went back to their respective homes to get some rest as well to clean up any damage the pirates had done. Ingrid and Brandt initially suggested that the Felman family could all stay in Ingrid’s house, but Grey insisted that it would be better if they all slept in their house. It wasn’t that she didn’t appreciate what her husband and mother were trying to do, but the Chief knew she couldn’t run from what happened. She needed to face it.
Thankfully, the house was ransacked, but it was nothing that couldn’t be replaced or fixed. The biggest thing Grey wanted to do was get rid of that stupid balcony, but that was a project for another day. Instead, the kids went up to their room while Grey and Brandt went into theirs while Shadow stayed outside clearly understanding that her sister needed to be alone with Brandt for the time being.
“You know it’s not too late to go and sleep at your mom’s house,” Brandt said watching his wife brush her beautiful brown hair from where he lay on the bed.
“I know,” Grey said as she put the brush down and sat down in bed next to her husband, “but…I wanted to come back to our house. I can’t…I can’t run from what happened forever.”
Brandt nodded and smiled opening his arms inviting his wife to join him.
Grey wasted no time in sinking into Brandt’s embrace holding him close and resting her head on his chest…right where his heart was. “I was starting to wonder if I would ever get to be in your arms again,” she said after a moment. “I wanted nothing more than to just wake up and have it all be a bad dream and you would be sleeping next to me.”
“I know,” Brandt said holding his wife just a little tighter. “I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel that way too, but it’s over, Grey. We’re together again. We’re back home. Our kids are upstairs. She’s locked up. She can’t hurt us anymore.”
Grey buried her face in Brandt’s chest inhaling his scent. “You’re right,” she said.
“Hey, we won’t be able to forget what happened,” Brandt said rubbing her shoulder, “but eventually, we’ll get to a point where it will be nothing but a distant memory. We’ll get through it. We’ve done it before. We can do it again.”
Grey smiled as she closed her eyes realizing that Brandt was right yet again. They’ve had their fair share of hardships over the years they had been together…Brandt realizing that he killed her father in battle…Greg dying in battle…Grey suffering the miscarriage and suddenly leaving to see Seasick…Haddock dying…Sven being kidnapped by Rhenco, and they always managed to find a way through it. They would certainly find a way through this…together. “You’re right…again,” she said. “And we will do it together…with our children.”
“Exactly,” Brandt said smiling as he gently lifted Grey’s face up placing his fingers under her chin so that she was looking at him. “But if it’s all the same with you…my dear Chief…” he brushed her hair behind her ear, “my beautiful Chief…I think we can start doing that with the kids…tomorrow. For now,” he kissed her slowly, “I want to just be with you.” He kissed her again.
Grey wasted no time in deepening the kiss wrapping her arms around Brandt’s neck. “Why, Sir Brandt, are you seducing your Chief?” she asked raising an eyebrow.
“Damn right I am,” Brandt said shifting them so that Grey was laying down on the pillow beneath him. "We were separated for 16 days. I didn't get to see you...didn't know where you were...didn't get to lay my eyes on your beautiful face," he caressed her face as she leaned into his touch, "didn't get to kiss you...didn't get to touch you all that time. And I want to make up for," he kissed her, "lost time."
Grey chuckled as Brandt kissed her again. "I do, too," she whispered against his lips. "I love you, Brandt."
"I love you, too, Grey." They resumed their kiss...until...there was a knock on their bedroom door causing them to pull away.
"Mom! Dad! Can you come out here for a second?" they heard Dagny say outside.
Brandt sighed putting his head down before they looked at each other smiling. They both knew that while they both wished to have their alone time together, they would never turn down their son or daughters when they needed their parents, and after being separated for so long, they didn't want to waste a single second being with them.
"Tomorrow night," Grey said simply.
"Tomorrow night," Brandt agreed.
They both got out of bed and walked out of the bedroom opening the door...only to find a very peculiar sight...Sven, Dagny, and Kari all sitting by the fire pit on some blankets with their pillows while Shadow was curled up nearby clearly asleep.
"Kids...what are you doing down here?" Grey asked with a raised eyebrow. "I thought you were going to bed."
"Well, we were," Sven said, "but..." he looked at his two younger sisters, "then we decided that...we wanted to be with you guys tonight."
Grey and Brandt softened as they looked at each other and then back at the kids.
“We originally wanted to come into your room and sleep with you guys there…like when we were little,” Kari said.
“But then…we realized your bed probably wouldn’t fit everyone,” Dagny added, “so we decided to sleep out here by the fire pit, if that’s okay.”
Grey couldn’t help but smile with tears in her eyes feeling a wave of nostalgia. She remembered all those times she and Brandt corralled Sven, Dagny, and Kari into their bed, and she told them stories about her adventures in the Grounded Dungeon Rebellion…watching them slowly fall asleep between her and Brandt. It was one of those moments that stopped occurring once Sven, Dagny, and Kari started getting older and definitely one that Grey most certainly missed. Now, there was a swell of warmth in her chest seeing that her kids wanted to be with her, but also a pang of sadness… Ai and the Crows of Crestwill left their mark on their family and on the island in more ways than one when they separated her and Brandt…and their entire family. However, like Brandt just said, they would move past it until it became nothing but a distant memory. She looked at Brandt, who looked at her with the same smile. As much as they would’ve loved to have some alone time together, they both knew that this was needed. They needed to be together with their children. They would definitely have some alone time together—just the two of them—tomorrow night.
“I think that’s a great idea, guys,” Brandt said wrapping an arm around Grey’s shoulders.
——
Brandt and Grey wasted no time in grabbing some extra blankets from their bedroom and adding to the blankets pile that their children put together and bringing one extra for them to share. Once that was done, Grey and Brandt wasted no time in settling in with Sven, Dagny, and Kari with Grey next to Dagny and Brandt on the opposite side with Sven while Kari remained in the middle.
“Alright, everyone all settled?” Brandt asked.
“I’m comfortable,” Grey replied.
“Me too,” Dagny and Kari said in unison.
“Same here,” Sven replied.
“This was really great, kids,” Grey said after a moment. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome, Mom,” they said in unison.
“We sure have amazing kids, Grey,” Brandt said ruffling Sven’s hair earning a chuckle from his son.
“We sure do,” Grey said smiling at the sight. “Grandma told me what you three did over the past 2 weeks.”
“Oh? What did they do?” Brandt asked raising an eyebrow. He knew that they obviously helped them all to escape to the evacuation island before they faced Ai to take back the island. Apparently there was more.
“Well, Brandt, our son,” she reached over ruffling Sven’s hair earning a chuckle from the Heir, “stepped up as acting Chief. He worked to put together plans to free us.” She then reached for Kari’s cheek. “And our baby girl…stood by her brother and kept an eye on the island helping to plan everything.” She noticed Kari blushing, which made her smile even wider. “And finally…our middle child…she flew all the way to the Jaw on SkySinger for two whole weeks to get help from the Rebellion.”
“What?” Brandt asked propping himself on his elbow looking at his children with astonishment. “Dags, you did that?” He stopped when he remembered something. “I thought a messenger was sent to the Jaw. Why did Dagny go?”
“The messenger was killed during the attack,” Dagny replied sadly, “so I volunteered.”
Brandt stared at them in absolute shock and astonishment. His three children…his and Grey’s beautiful, amazing children, not much older than 18…took over the tribe, planned to take back the island…and flew to the Jaw for two whole weeks alone on a dragon. Sven was 18 years old…Dagny was 17 years old…and Kari was 15 going on 16 years old. When he killed Grey’s father in battle that fateful day, he never once thought that he would meet a beautiful woman…a Chief, fall in love with her, marry her, and raise three amazing kids, and he did. He and Grey raised amazing three kids, and they accomplished so much more than he did when he was their ages. “I am so proud of all of you,” he said smiling.
“We both are,” Grey added.
“Well, we’re just glad to have you guys back,” Kari said smiling at them.
“W-What is going to happen to those pirates though?” Dagny asked after a moment.
“Don’t worry,” Grey said gently, “they’re going to be moved to the Jaw tomorrow. Lila will take care of it. Those pirates won’t come near us ever again.”
“If they do,” Sven said, “we fight them…together.”
Grey nodded. “That’s right, Sven,” she said. “Together, but for now…let’s try to get some sleep it’s been a long couple weeks.”
All three of the Felman siblings nodded before closing their eyes.
“Good night, Mom,” Sven said. “Good night, Dad.”
“Good night,” Dagny and Kari said in unison.
“Good night, my darlings,” Grey replied.
“Good night, kids,” Brandt said as they watched them drift off to sleep. He couldn’t help but just stare at them.
Just as she was about to rest her head on the pillow, Grey noticed this and raised an eyebrow looking at him. “What is it?” she asked.
Brandt sighed and looked at his wife. “I just…” he exhaled, “we have three amazing kids, Grey.”
Grey widened her smile as she looked at them as well. “Yeah, we do,” she said brushing a hand through Dagny’s hair.
“We’ve done a pretty good job raising them, I’d say,” Brandt said.
Grey smiled even wider. She might’ve been feeling guilty and ashamed over what happened with Ai taking over their island, but the one thing she knew for sure was that she and Brandt did a great job as parents and would continue to do so. “And we will continue doing so,” she said. “I love you all so much.”
“I love you all too,” Brandt said smiling. “You know I’d kiss you, but” he gestured to the three teenagers between them.
Grey chuckled. “I know,” she said, “but don’t worry, Sir Brandt. You and I will be doing plenty of kissing. Like you said, we need to make up for lost time.”
Brandt smirked wiggling his eyebrows earning a giggle from Grey.
“But I know one thing you can do,” Grey said as she rested her head on the pillow. She then reached out her hand to Brandt above the kids’ heads. “Hold my hand? I’m afraid that if this is all going to be a dream.”
Brandt smiled and rested his head on his pillow reaching for Grey’s hand holding it tightly. “Of course, my love,” he said. “It’s not a dream. I promise you, it’s very real.”
Grey smiled even wider. Brandt was right. It wasn’t a dream. It was all real. They were together again with their children, and their island…their home was taken back from the pirates. There were some scars, but with time, like Brandt said, it would become a distant memory. “I love you, Brandt,” she whispered as she fell asleep.
“I love you too, Grey,” Brandt replied.
With that, all the Felmans were fast asleep. Tomorrow was going to be a new day.

No okay but. I know this fight has already been analyzed a million times but. Okay
The way Katakuri says "even just falling on your back is shameful. why do you keep rising?"
And nothing is said but it's cuz Luffy's found family can and will pick him up again. They know, without any disillusions about it, that Luffy is not perfect. They know he fucks up a lot. They know he has major flaws and will never be perfect. But they love and support him and are going to be there when he becomes King. The strawhats have seen the nessy parts of Luffy and love him despite it, or maybe sven because of it.
Meanwhile Katakuri's blood family have projected this godlike image onto him. So perfect that he does not even lay down to sleep. They look up to him in such a way that Katakuri takes his breaks in solitude to prevent anyone seeing his guard down for even a second. He hides his face cuz it is an imperfection, something that makes him look like a monster rather than a god. And the family member i can see any argument for maybe actually caring about him is Burlee, but even that would be a stretch. The family doesn't seem to actually care about him as a person, as seen firsthand with Flampe.
Like the whole WCI saga is about acceptance but this fight just. it pitted 2 very different forms of family together and highlighted the differences between obligation and false feelings, and fighting for dreams and those you love and who actually love you back. And the winner, of course, was the latter.
And right before finally falling on his back??? Katakuri asks if Luffy will be back to beat Big Mom, to which he of course replies he will since he'll be pirate king. Katakuri doesn't call him naive or wrong or anything. He accepts it and just says "you're seeing very far into the future"
IDK something about that last interaction and the acceptance and the respect is just. It's too good.
And Luffy covering Katakuri's mouth before leaving, too, after seeing just brief snippets about it?
Yeah.

I love that Oda isn't even referencing Vicky anymore but downright gave everyone the clothes that Sven the terrible and his squad wear. Makes it pretty solid for me that Kaidos' race needs to be related to Elbaf AND be hated there (given that Sven kept attacking Vicky home village from what I remember). I can't wait to see if Elbaf will finally give Vicky and Ylvi based characters (aka coward mastermind male & chick that beats others up for him) PLUS calling it now Ylvi will have CoO like Aisa
ajiofjsijf i hadn’t even thought of that but it’s true, they really do look like vikings, don’t they?? 
for those who have no idea what’s being talked about here: “vicky the viking” is a seventies cartoon series that oda loves and that is basically the reason one piece exists, bc it inspired him to start liking pirates/sea adventures. 
i’ll admit to never having watched it myself so i don’t know alll that much about it but it definitely wouldn’t surprise me if oda eventually makes some characters based off it (since he loves to get inspo for characters from other media), and if they were gonna do it any arc, it’d be elbaf, since the giants are clearly influenced by vikings and nordic mythology.
i hadn’t made the connection between kaido/kaido’s crew and elbaf though! it’d be interesting if there was one. i also find it intriguing that king is a different species, and that his race and the giant race are apparently two of the only ones that big mom doesn’t have in her family/crew.....

Voltron NextGen Multi-Reality AU Basics (S8 UPDATE)
Voltron NextGen Multi-Reality AU
SPOILER WARNING FOR S8
 Or just Multi AU for short. As a multishipper I’ve suffered with all my ships and NextGen ideas for a long time now, until I came to the conclusion: Why make an AU for every single ship when I can make 1 BIG AU for all of them? I mean with Alternative Realities being a thing it’s basically a free-for-all!
That’s how I came up with the Multi-Reality NextGen AU, honestly I’m only calling it an „AU” as a formality…
 Basically, every ship is canon. EVERY SHIP. I may personally not like a couple of ships but that doesn’t mean I don’t want others to have fun. So yeah, fight me.
And of course with this being an inter-reality AU the crossovers are endless… honestly come to think of it, this whole AU is pure self-indulgence, nothing else.
 I just enjoy designing NextGen children for my ships with some very little story ideas here and there and some crossovers. That’s all this is.
 But since I’m putting this out there in the void I might as well write up some basics to make it easy.
 Also this is probably obvious, this being a NextGen, but there’s a general warning for MPreg for the whole thing.
 As for all Realities:
 -          I headcanon Galras to have both set of reproductive organs, so all females and males can impregnante and become pregnant all the same, though the dominance of each organ can change in cycles.
 -          Also miss me with that „Allura is a teenager” bullshit, I headcanon her to be around 23 years in human terms in S1.
 -          I also headcanon Pidge to be a Trans Girl.
 -          Also you can pry Half-Korean Keith from my cold dead hands.
 -          Also also I headcanon Keith and Axca to be siblings, so unless I state otherwise just assume they’re are siblings.
 -          Depending on Reality Adam is alive. Also miss me with Adam dying in the Canon Reality too, my guy just lost a leg and was saved by the resistence and was chilling in the desert the whole time, okay?
 -          Krolivan is totally a thing in all my realities.
 The main gang’s ages through the Canon in my interpretation:
Pre-Kerberos:
Shiro: 24
Keith: 17
Lance: 16
Hunk: 17
Pidge: 14
Allura: -
 Season 1-5:
Shiro: 25
Keith: 18
Lance: 17
Hunk: 18
Pidge: 15
Allura: „22”
 Season 6:
Shiro: 26
Keith: 21 (+2 years)
Lance: 18
Hunk: 19
Pidge: 16
Allura: „23”
 Season 7 (by the time they get back to Earth):
Shiro: 27
Keith: 22
Lance: 19
Hunk: 20
Pidge: 17
Allura: „24”
 Season 8 (by the end of S8):
Shiro: 28
Keith: 23
Lance: 20
Hunk: 21
Pidge: 18
Allura: „25”
 1 year later:
Shiro: 29
Keith: 24
Lance: 21
Hunk: 22
Pidge: 19
 Epilouge (5 years later):
Shiro: 34
Keith: 29
Lance: 26
Hunk: 27
Pidge: 24
 Most of the AU focuses on a couple of ships of my liking and their children, those being:
 Klance Reality:
Everything happens mostly according to canon, up until about S6. The key differences being:
-          Thace is Keith’s Uncle, being Krolia’s brother, he also survives in this AU.
-          The Castle doesn’t get destroyed.
-          The 3 years gap still happen.
-          On their way home they find a Shiro clone who managed to stay alive but never found his way back to Voltron, Shiro has a twin now (they decide to call him Ryou because I’m creative like that).
-          Shiro gets an Altean like arm.
-          Adam doesn’t die.
-          They go back to Earth and save it from Sendak, but Earth doesn’t become the center of the Voltron Coalition.
-          Allura doesn’t die.
-          Allurance happens at first but later they realise it’s not working, so they split sometime after S8.
-          Adashi, Thoran and Hunay happen.
-          No Altean Lance at all.
-          No Curto either.
-          Altea and Daibazaal aren’t reborn.
-          The Lions don’t leave.
 More stuff to know about the Klance Reality:
-          They eventually switch back the Lions with Allura going back to pilot the Castle and Ryou going to pilot Blue.
-          Allura will eventually become Queen Allura, and they’ll reform the Coalition with a more Altean center.
-          The Empire will be completley wiped out and they’ll work on clearing the universe from rogue warlords and pirate captains. Also re-habiliting and re-integrating galras into the universe.
-          Keith will have a more Galra like appearance after their third kid, because he got infected with a bio-chemical weapon virus and part of the procedure to save him was to amplify his Galra genes.
 Keith and Lance will have 8 children:
-          Rosalie „Rosa” and Thace „Ace” McClain-Kogane:
30 years old, the oldest of the children, twins, with Rosa being older out of the two of them. Rosa is named after Lance’s Mom, Ace is named after Thace, Keith’s Uncle. Rosa is a Field Commander and later she’ll become the Red Paladin. Ace is the Royal Commander and later the Black Paladin.
 -          Amelia „Amy” McClain-Kogane:
26 years old, smaller and sickly due to Keith’s sickness during the pregnancy. The future pilot/Captain of the Castle, she will pilot it with a pair of Altean gauntlets Allura made for her.
(She’s named after Amelia Earhart because I’m a history nerd.)
 -          Violet and Liliac McClain-Kogane:
21 years old, twins, with Violet being older. Both of them just freshly graduated, Violet is a diplomat, Liliac is a mechanic. Violet is the future Blue Paladin, Lilian is the future Green Paladin.
 -          Akira McClain-Kogane:
18 years old, going to graduate soon, possible future Black Paladin. He prefers to work with the Rebels, can’t quite find his place yet.
 -          Clarisse „Claire” McClaine-Kogane:
16 years old, the problem child of the family, possible future Red Paladin, nopes out to join the Blade of Marmora in secret.
 -          Charles „Chuck” McClaine-Kogane:
12 years old, youngest and last of the children, future Yellow Paladin, upcomming tech genius.
 As for the ages of everyone in the present of the Klance Reality:
 Shiro: 62
Keith: 57
Lance: 54
Hunk: 55
Pidge: 52
Allura: „59”
  Sheith Reality:
This reality follows canon the most closely, but there’s almost a slight „underage” warning, „underage” being Keith is 17 at the start.
 -          Shiro and Keith kind of „got together” just before the Kerberos mission, a good while after Shiro and Adam broke up, it wasn’t exactly official, they were supposed to figure it out after Shiro came back.
-          They had a one-night-stand before the Kerberos mission, Keith got pregnant, and since he wasn’t aware he’s half-galra, he was thought to be some kind of intersex.
-          Adam helped Keith, and helped him keep it a secret, and even helped him after he got expelled.
-          Adam was taking care of the kid when Shiro came back and they found the Blue Lion and kept taking care of her after their disappearance for 3 years until his „death.”
-          Curtis takes care of Hoshi after Adam’s death mostly. (haha)
-          Since Shiro didn’t bring up their Pre-Kerberos „relationship” neither did Keith, only until they were on their way back to Earth, that’s when he told him about the kid too.
-          Earth’s becomes the Center of the Coalition.
-          After the Universe is safe, Shiro and Keith „settle down” in the desert, Shiro keeps working as Admiral of the Garrison and Captain of the Atlas, Keith as Leader of Voltron keeping the universe safe.
-          Shiro had a twin brother called Ryou in this Reality but he also had Shiro’s disease and he already died from it.
-          Allura doesn’t die.
-          Altea and Daibazaal aren’t reborn.
-          Punk and Allurance happen.
-          Curto doesn’t happen.
-          The Lions don’t leave.
-          No Altean Lance at all.
  Shiro and Keith will have 3 children:
-          Hoshi Shirogane:
26 years old, mechanic and teacher at the Garrison, future Black Paladin.
 -          Ryou Shirogane:
16 years old, talented pilot, Cadet at the Garrison, the discipline case, named after Shiro’s twin brother.
 -          Sora Shirogane
11 years old, troublemaker with the face of an angel, she has very good strategic skills.
 Everyone’s ages in the Sheith Reality:
 Shiro: 50
Keith: 45
Lance: 42
Allura: „47”
Hunk: 43
Pidge: 40
  Shallura Reality:
This reality is pretty close to the Klance Reality, since originally they were in the same reality but I changed it later.
 -          Thace and Ulaz both survive.
-          The Castle doesn’t get destroyed.
-          Allurance doesn’t happen at all, Lance gives up on her and they form a strong sibling like friendship.
-          The 3 years gap still happen.
-          They go back to Earth and save it from Sendak, but there’s no Atlas and Earth doesn’t become the center of the Voltron Coalition.
-          They occasionally go back to Earth.
-          They eventually switch back the Lions with Allura going back to pilot the Castle, Shiro going back to Black, Keith to Red and Lance to Blue.
-          Allura doesn’t die.
-          Altea and Daibazaal are still reborn.
-          Allura will eventually become Queen Allura, (and King Shiro?) and they’ll reform the Coalition with New Altea at the center.
-          Keith becomes the new Galra Emperor of Daibazaal.
-          Shiro gets an Altean arm.
-          Hunay, Laxum and Thalaz happen.
-          Curto doesn’t happen.
-          The Lions don’t leave.
-          No Altean Lance at all.
  Shiro and Allura will have 3 children:
-          Prince Alfor (Jr.)
28 years old, future King, currently diplomat and Ship Commander. Named after King Alfor obviously. Has some alchemy abilities.
 -          Prince Leo
22 years old, new Captain of the Royal Guard. Doesn’t have alchemy abilities. (Yet?)
 -          Princess Hikari
17 years old, wannabe explorer, future diplomat, alchemist in training.
 Everyone’s ages for the Shallura Reality:
 Shiro: 63
Allura: „60”
Lance: 55
Keith: 58
Hunk: 56
Pidge: 53
  Svlav Reality:
Honestly this is just the Altean Empire Reality. Like I legit planned this to happen in the canon Altean Empire Reality but it can just as well be a variation of it. Everything is exactly the same except Sven and Slav having a daughter.
 Sven and Slav will have 1 kid:
-          Yume, 15 years old, member of the Guns of Gamara, her existence is considered an anomaly in all realities, this gives her a good amount of existential anxiety.
  Loturra Reality:
This also mostly follows canon, just with Lotor Redemption.
 -          Lotor doesn’t kill Narti.
-          Lotor also unlocks the secrets of Oriand.
-          (Lotor doesn’t lie to the alteans on the Colony, they can volunteer for the Quintessence extraction „experiment”.) I don’t know what to do with this part yet, bear with me.
-          Lotor DOES go kind of mad from the Quintessence exposure when they go in to the Quintessence Field with Allura.
-          Lotor and his Generals form Sincline and fight Voltron, but Voltron saves them in the end and Allura cures Lotor.
-          Sincline will fight beside Voltron.
-          Lotor doesn’t die.
-          The 3 years gap still happen.
-          They still go back to Earth and save it from Sendak together.
-          Shiro still becomes Captain of the Atlas.
-          Allura doesn’t die (duh).
-          Altea and Daibazaal aren’t reborn.
They’ll eventually unify the Galra Empire again this time on the right path and start to build New Altea with the Colony Alteans. Galrans and Altean unite on a new home.
-          Empress Allura and Emperor Lotor.
-          After Kolivan and Krolia retire, Keith becomes the new Leader of the Blade of Marmora together with Axca.
-          Allura becomes the Black Paladin.
-          I don’t know who’ll be the Blue Paladin yet.
-          Curto doesn’t happen.
-          The Lions don’t leave.
-          Kaxca and Shlav happens.
-          No Altean Lance at all.
 Lotor and Allura will have 2 children:
-          Prince Alfor the II. and Princess Honerva
23 years old, the royal twins, with Princess Honerva being older. Princess Honorva is a great warrior and future Empress. Prince Alfor is a talented alchemist and diplomat.
 Everyone’s ages for the Loturra Reality:
Allura: „59”
Lotor: „61”
Shiro: 62
Lance: 54
Keith: 57
Hunk: 55
Pidge: 52
  Shendak Reality:
Oh boy, here comes another hard one. This Reality is probably the most different of all and the least worked out. This is basically Sendak redemption with Sendak not being That Bad™.
 -          Sendak has a strong sense of honor.
-          After Voltron defeats Sendak, Zarkon denounce him a disgrace and „exiles” him from the Empire.
-          They eventually meet him again and he eventually joins them.
-          At first Sendak works with the Rebels later he joins the Blade of Marmora.
-          Allura doesn’t die.
-          Allurance happens.
-          Altean Lance happens.
-          Altea and Daibazaal are still reborn.
-          The Lions don’t leave.
  Shiro and Sendak will have 2 children:
-          Arashi and Urax
25 years old, twins, with Urax being older. Both of them are pretty problematic, but strong warriors.
 Uliro Reality:
This Reality is pretty much the same as canon, just with Ulaz surviving. That’s pretty much all that changes really.
 -          Ulaz survives the fight with the robobeast, he gets trapped in the pocket-dimension and they later free him with the help of Slav in the 3 years gap.
-          Ulaz will be amongst the surviving members of the Blade.
-          He meets with Shiro again no Earth after they defeat Sendak.
-          Probably Galtean Klance will happen at some point? I don’t have that many details on this reality yet.
 Ulaz and Shiro will have 1 son.
 Some other ships that don’t have their own reality but happen in already mentioned realities:
-          Thoran happens in the Klance Reality.
-          Hunay also happens in the Klance Reality, also the Shallura Reality:
Hunk and Shay will have 1 daughter, 14 years old, Koru.
-          Punk happens in the Sheith Reality.
-          Allurance also happens in the Sheith Reality and the Shendak Reality
Allura and Lance will have 2 children, a girl 19 years old, and a boy 14 years old. They boy will have alchemy abilities. They don’t have names yet sorry.
-          Laxum happens in the Shallura Reality.
Lance and Plaxum will have 2 children, 23 years old, twins a boy and a girl, they’ll both be amphibious, able to change between mermaid and human form.
-          Kaxca happens in the Loturra Reality.
Axca and Keith are not related at all, and they’ll have 2 kids, a girl 19 years old, member of the Blade of Marmora, and Yorak, 14 years old boy.
-          Thalaz happens in the Shallura Reality.
-          Shlav also happens in the Loturra Reality, they’ll have 1 daughter, 13 years old, (Yami) Yumi, she was genetically made by the Galra from Shiro and Slav’s DNA, to see what happens if they mix their strongest and smartest captive: the answer is anxiety and bad impulse control.
 Yeah, all the „Castle doesn’t get Destroyed” will be just solved by Allura pulling some Mary Sue magic thing, she does that often enough in canon.
 And the „Allura doesn’t die” is basically that, most of these will be wiped out for some time when Honerva destroys all realities except 1, so when canon Allura sacrifices herself to save all realities these AU realites just get restored and they just normally fight and defeat Honerva. (Tho this depends on reality since in some of them the story takes a whole different turn from her to begin with.)
 I’ll also add to this file as I go along and figure things out, but I think this is it for now!
OKAY THIS TOOK ME ALL NIGHT TO TYPE
Seriously I’m highkey proud of myself for finally sitting down and typing this up, even if it’s probably highkey cringey but fight me I’m still proud.

hey, which of these sound the most interesting?/what would you be most likely to click on?
short story summaries: 
Victory & Vexation: an Olympic star in track and field is pursued by Nike, the Goddess of victory, who will grant her a gold medal if she gives her her heart
Too bad she doesn’t want to cheat
Farther in and Further Out: zombie-esque AU where a zoologist and a doctor go deep into the American Northwest rainforest to look for a vaccine. They encounter ‘The Empty,’ angry moose, and a question of ethics 
this was an actually an ask someone sent me
Intercepted: Pirate AU where a racer is sent to make ‘First Contact’ with a new planet in a galactic contest, too bad a space pirate ship has other plans
The Bicycle: a bedridden young woman with tuberculosis sees a factory worker biking past her house every day, one morning she stops her and asks her how to ride
The Mirror Princess and Disgraced Knight: a knight comes upon a princess stuck in her own reflection, she tries to get her safely across the border
Call your Mother on Sundays: (tragedy/adult) A young woman is dealing with her dying mom while her mom’s nurse tells her to come visit, she feels guilty as she slowly falls for the nurse and her mother falls further and further away
Don’t go Chasing the Ocean: a water nymph is banished after falling for a mortal human, she’s banished to the deep oceans in response, her girlfriend commandeers a ship and goes searching for her against Poseidon 
Fallen: angel/demon AU (2 couples/storylines, multi-chaptered)
Leslie: a mortal angel, wants for the human Hazel Lee to be safe, even if the woman’s made a deal with a demon to save her daughter's life, Leslie falls to save her
Hazel Lee: a human, a firefighter/art curator, wants for buildings in Kansas City to stop lighting on fire, wants her daughter to get better- whatever it may cost her
Clark: a crossroads angel, wants nothing (he’s an angel), sent down to earth to save Leslie before she fully falls, at the very least would like Sven to leave
Sven: a mortal demon, sent to do just the opposite and drag Leslie fully down and earn his own way to full demon-hood, and maybe ruin Clarke’s day at least once
The Crappy apartment: across the way from the fire department, Leslie wishes everyone wouldn’t move into it, but sometimes you just make very bad roommates for no reason
Prompt: tba, send me a prompt!
I’m excited about a lot of these but I would like to focus it! You can either just reply to this post or answer here (something I made some time ago and revised)

📖 Kid Swap, Micheal Salt.
Mike Teavee’s face is a mask of disgust.
“It is pony,” Oleg Salt says.
“Why does it smell like that?” The boy demands to know.
“It smells like pony,” Oleg tells him, hopelessly.
“Grosssssssss,” Mike whines.
THIS IS NOT GOING TO OLEG’S PLAN.
It is American television show, from where he gets the idea.  ‘Wife Swap’.  Where the husband of the one family goes to see what it is like to be the husband of the other family?
Mrs. Television is full of complaints, always, when the four of them speak.  She thinks she has it the worst of all.  SHE DOES NOT.  Eugene is in agreement: Ethel does not know what it is to have a girl child.
“I wish!” The woman had laughed, once, and it was then that Oleg had thought to show her.
Mrs. Salt is not available, of course.  She has lately been in Morocco on vacation for the past seven years with her personal masseuse, Sven (Sven is: great guy).  And Mr. Television has been discarded (a wise choice).  But they can swap the children.  He can send her Veruca for one week, and show her how it is to have the whims of a teenage girl to deal with (Oleg cannot suppress a shudder at the memories).  And he will take her American son and show her how easily the boy can be mollified.
Because of course it will be easy.  Oleg was a boy once, himself.  He knows what a boy wants, and it is not a mother’s coddling.  He will ply the Mikhail with the electronics, and the video games, and the boy will fall immediately into line, and Mrs. Television will submit that he is the superior parent.
THIS IS NOT WHAT HAPPENS.  дайте ему силы.
The Television boy shows up innocently enough.  Oleg forces his face into a welcoming smile and shows the boy the room (out of the many hundreds of rooms the Salt mansion contains) where he will be staying.  The boy walks past him.  The boy shuts the door.
Uh.  Okay…
He does not appear at supper time.  One of the house staff reports that, on knocking, he had been instructed to ‘put an egg inside of his mouth’.  что?  
But the boy is just tired, maybe.  He has had a long journey.  Tomorrow will be a new day.
Oleg awakes at 4:13am with a shriek.  Something is poking him in the face.  He opens his eyes to find the Television boy standing over him, holding a sword.
WHERE DID HE GET A SWORD?
There is a fencing trophy in the ballroom, with fencing swords, but it is mounted far too high for the small American to reach, and also the swords are soldered into place.
“Yo.  Russian dude,” the boy drawls.  “I’m hungry now.  And I only want Gorton’s fish sticks.” 
“Where is Alexei?” Oleg asks, climbing out of his king sized bed and hurriedly tugging a robe over his silk pajamas.  He frantically searches the room for his ex-KGB personal body guard.  He finds the man, finally, unconscious in the hallways.
“I dunno what’s up with that guy,” Mike says, looking at the ceiling.
HE KNOWS.
It is the next day, when Oleg knows he is truly in trouble.
Government officials in dark suits and glasses stand in his office.  Oleg rubs his temples.
“Huuuuuuuuh?” the boy says, with exaggerated innocence.
“Did you.  Collude with somebody.  On the interwebs?” Oleg asks, slowly and painfully.
“I unno what you mean,” the boy replies.  “I’m just a kid.”
“Mikhail…”
“Who’s Mikhail?” 
“This is not game,” Oleg informs the boy, in a hushed whisper.
The boy just blinks his big, blue, American eyes and has no idea how much money Oleg has to shell out to keep him out of a Russian prison.  
And as for plying him with video games…
“I have that one.”
“I have that one.”
“I already pirated that one.  It’s like two months old,” he says, in response to everything Oleg tries to present him with.  And what child does not want a pony?  Mike Teavee, that is what child.  The only headway he makes is when he desperately offers:
“I will buy for you Large Hadron Super Collider!”
The boy had paused.
“Hmmm.  Control over the unsolved questions of physics.  I’ll think about it.”
Instead he manages to set the stair railing on fire.  Twice.
He sends the cooking staff on a strike with his very particular but infantile culinary requirements.  
He hacks Oleg’s companies’ webpages and changes every instance of the word ‘salt’ to ‘fart’.  
THE BOY IS MONSTER.
It is Thursday, and there is still one more day of dealing with him to do, and Oleg CANNOT.  Instead, he sobs openly in one of the less formal living rooms.  The boy watches him.  The boy rolls his eyes with his entire body.  The boy stomps over, dragging his feet the whole way.  He throws himself onto the couch beside Mr. Salt.
“I hate when adults cry,” he grouses.
He takes out his phone, opens a note taking app and announces.
“Ooooookay.  Doctor Mike is in session, I guess.  I bill by the minute.”
“This was not supposed to be like this!” Oleg cries.  The boy grimaces, but dutifully writes…something.
“Go on,” he says.
“I only wanted to show…  The teenage girls you see: they are not like us.  My Verushka: she is liking THE BOYS.  She wants to shop for the brassieres!  What is a father to do?”
“Whoa, too many deets, too many deets, too many deets,” Mike exclaims, clapping his hands over his ears. 
 “And you!” Oleg accuses.  “You are not teenage girl.”
“Uh, no duh?” the boy replies.
“And yet you are like this!”
Mike shrugs.
“You are impossible!” Oleg declares.
Mike beams.
“I…I do not know what you want!  My Verushka: she always tells me what she wants!” Oleg says, burying his face in his hands.
The boy blows out a breath and rolls his eyes again.
“Yeah, but do you ever ask why she wants?” He says.
Wha?
And: no.  No he does not.  He simply…gives to her.
He can see how the boy might have a point.
“To be parent,” Oleg says.  “It is hard.”
“Well yeah,” Mike agrees.  “Did you think it was gonna be easy?  Why?  Kids aren’t you, you know?  We’re our own people.”
Oleg looks him over.
“So what is one to do with you?” He asks.
“I dunno.  Maybe try talking to us.” Mike suggests, with a shrug.  “You know: like you’d talk to anybody else.”
THIS IS PREPOSTEROUS.  And yet.
“You are smart boy,” Oleg admits, earnestly, for the first time. 
“I go through an average of four therapists per year,” the boy tells him, proudly.
“So.  What is it that you want?” Oleg asks.
“Easy,” Mike tells him.  “I wanna go home.”
“And: why?” Oleg asks, carefully.
“’Cause I didn’t wanna come here in the first place,” Mike says.  “I’m not, like, something you can use to prove a point or win kudos.  That’s a total jerk move.
Oleg Salt, total jerk, nods.
“So.  You wish to go home,” he repeats.
“Yup,” Mike says.
“THIS I CAN DO,” Oleg tells him enthusiastically.  The boy cringes away.
In America, Mrs. Televsion opens the door.  She is blond now, wearing a pink dress and pink lipstick.  Her nails are pink.  Her glasses are pink.  She is sipping something out of a tea cup covered in images of kittens.  Veruca stands beside her, sipping from her own kittens.
Mike wrinkles his nose.
“You look weird, mom,” he says.  “I don’t like it.”
“Thank you, Michael,” Mrs. Television says, smoothly.  Her son walks past them.
“I’m going to my room, leave me alone!” He calls, before disappearing into the suburban house.
Well.
Veruca hugs the older woman.
“Good-bye, Mrs. Ethel,” she says.
“You travel safe, honey,” Mrs. Television instructs.
Well.
“We should,” Oleg says, “maybe not do this again.”
“Mmmhmm,” Ethel says.
He returns to Russia with the correct child.  And who has won?  The answer is obvious.
His Verushka, of course.

What’s the Plan? (BOTGD 2 Oneshot)
(Takes place on July 4, 1071…1 week after Rock Bottom and 5 days after When Will The Dawn Break?)
The Heir of Haligan Island sighed as he rubbed his hand over his face. It had been almost a week since the attack and since Dagny left to get help from the Rebellion, and he had been spending all that time trying to come up with a plan to save his parents, Shadow, and their men. So far, nothing was coming to him, and it only got more and more frustrating. Indigo Phantom popped out of nowhere about 2 days after the attack telling him that he spoke to Grey a few hours ago that day. He told him how his mother was imprisoned in their house...their own house, that his father was in the prison with the other soldiers, and that Shadow was trapped in the stables.
Indigo had also told him that the leader of the pirates interrogated his mother and used his father as leverage. She had his father whipped in front of Grey just to get her to talk, and fury raged inside of him and strengthened his determination to save his parents, their men, Shadow, and the island. They had to. There was no other option, and failure was not an option. That meant that they needed a solid plan before doing anything. Like Indigo told him Grey said, these pirates were capable of anything, and that meant that nothing was to be done until Lila and the Rebellion arrived with Dagny.
He hated that it was such a long trip and that his parents would have to wait so long before being rescued, but that only gave him more motivation to take back his home and stop these pirates from causing anymore harm. His parents wasted no time in rescuing him from Rhenco, and now, he had to do the same.
“Hey, big brother,” Kari said as she walked up to him causing the Heir to look at his youngest sister. He could see the bags under her eyes, and he knew she had been having a hard time sleeping just as he and Ingrid did. None of them would until Grey and Brandt were freed.
“Hey,” he said looking up from his notes and a map as she sat on the log next to him. “You find anything?”
“Nope, just the usual,” Kari said as she sat down next to him. “They bring Mom out when she needs to relieve herself, but that’s it. Dad and the others are still in the prison. They haven’t come out once. There’s still no sign of Shadow, either.”
Kari had been one of the look-outs trying to keep an eye on Haligan Island...to make sure no one would do anything to their parents. No matter how many times they all reminded themselves that they were captured by slavers and that the slavers would keep them alive, Kari still wanted to make sure. Plus, Sven suspected that it was because his baby sister simply wanted to keep busy and focus on their parents and not on missing them or Dagny, but he didn’t bring it up.
“I can’t decide if that’s a good thing or a bad thing,” Kari said after a moment.
“Shadow’s a Night Fury,” Sven said, “and as much as I hate thinking this, they will want to keep her alive because she’ll definitely get them some money.”
She nodded. “Did you come up with anything yet?”
Sven sighed as he ran a head through his head. “I have some ideas,” he said as he picked up his notes. “First, I thought that maybe we could recreate the Castaway Dungeon raid on a smaller scale, and once the Rebellion gets here, the Nixes can create three portals: one to the house, one to the prison, and one to the stables. Each group could go through and grab whoever they’re grabbing and come back here, where we can regroup and then attack.”
“That sounds like a great plan,” Kari said. “What’s the problem?”
“Well, Hroar told me that the pirates would notice very quickly and that could give them time to prepare for battle,” Sven replied.
“Ohhh...and we want to avoid that.”
“Yup, so that’s out, and Nixes can only only open portals to places they’ve been too. Other than Aunt Akkey, I can’t remember any other who’s been in our house or the prison or the stables.”
“Right...I forgot about that. Alright, well, what else did you think of?”
“Well, then, I thought of maybe just doing a full-on assault, but...that could give these guys time to retaliate and they could threaten Mom, Dad, or any of our men.”
“Yeah, we’ll want to avoid that too.”
“Yup.” He groaned as he placed his face in his hands. “This is the worst. Nothing I’m thinking of is working!”
“Hey, hey,” Kari said as she wrapped an arm around Sven, “it’s okay. If anything, it’s a good thing. You’re taking your time and thinking about every single possible outcome. That’s what a Chief does, Mom has said so herself.”
Sven sighed. “Yeah, but what if I can’t think of anything?” 
“You will. You’re my big brother, I know you too well. Who knows? Maybe the answer will come to you in your sleep.”
“Yeah, that would be a gift from Hel,” Sven said.
“Well...Hel’s a baby...so maybe Baldur?” Kari said.
Sven sighed and chuckled. For as long as he could remember, Dagny and Kari had always found a way to make him laugh. If he was ever in trouble with their parents as a kid, one of them would always sneak up to their room and jump on him and tickle him until he laughed. Then after Rhenco, they tried to distract him with dragon races around the island. Now, while one of them was traveling for a couple weeks, the other was there trying to encourage him.
“Yeah...maybe...” he said. The Heir looked at his notes again trying to find the answer. “Aunt Nala was able to project mental pictures and that allowed the Nixes to get to the Castaway Dungeon, so if she’s at the Jaw that could help.”
“Especially when they need to come here and not to Haligan.”
“Right...”
“What are you thinking?”
“The portals and all that is not the problem. It’s the matter of how to rescue the prisoners without giving the pirates retaliating.”
“We don’t want to give them that chance to act...to take them by surprise. That’s...how did Mom say the Rebellion broke out of the Dungeon again?”
“Aunt Seasick had the keys to the cells. She was able to break them out...” His eyes widened. “They attacked...from the inside.”
Kari’s hazel eyes widened. “You have an idea,” she said.
“Well, don’t get too excited yet,” Sven said as he began to write it in his journal. “I’ll need to talk to the council about it, but it’s a start. We could keep the plan where we open portals into the stables, our house, and the prisons, but instead of coming back here and giving them time...we could...”
“Attack from the inside!” Kari said excitedly. “We each hide in those spots, and once we have the signal we can attack. We would take them completely by surprise.”
“There’s the matter of Mom, Dad, and the men not having their weapons, but...Lila probably has extras. We can give them those when we get them out.”
“And...” she placed a hand on Sven’s hand, “how would we get the keys to free them?”
“Oh...right...” Sven said sighing.
“But it’s okay! It’s okay! This is a start. We can figure out what’s available to us, no problem.”
Sven sighed. “I hope you’re right, Kari,” he said. “I really hope you’re right.”

Take Back What’s Ours, Part 4
(Continued from this)
@hubwalker1 @akkeyagentofhelheim @tree-the-cat @furibotgd
All three portals opened on the evacuation island...The prisoners emerged from one portal one by one before Sven, Brandt, Nio, Iona and Deoiridh finally emerged...with Sven and Brandt wrapping their arms around each other’s shoulders. The dragons emerged from another portal one by one before Shadow, Kari, and Azul followed. Grey and Dagny emerged from the third portal...with Liam and Sav in tow.
------
Before Grey or Dagny could say anything, Sav pushed them through the portal forcing them back through, and within seconds, the Chief and her daughter found themselves on the evacuation island. Grey couldn’t help but let out a shaky breath as she looked around seeing the Rebellion...and then at Liam and Sav...and then at Dagny, who looked right back at her with her brown eyes.
Both mother and daughter felt the emotions overflow at the relief and joy of seeing each other and being together again...after 16 whole days. Grey smiled as tears flowed down her face and she let out a shaky exhale. After two whole weeks, she was finally free from captivity, and her daughter helped her to escape. “D-Dagny...” she whispered again as she lifted her hands toward Dagny’s face.
Dagny however was having none of that as she smiled shedding tears of her own and letting out her own shaky exhale. “M-Mommy...” she said before reaching forward again hugging her mother tightly.
Grey wasted no time in returning the gesture hugging Dagny with all her might...praying that this wasn’t some crazy dream...and that she wasn’t about to wake up back in the house chained to the wall with the pirate in her kids’ bedroom. “Oh...my baby girl...” she said sniffling.
“I missed you so much, Mom,” Dagny said in between her own sobs. After 2 weeks of traveling, all the tension, the fear, and the sadness poured out of them in tears as they held each other tightly.
“I missed you so much, too, Dagny,” Grey said as she ran a hand through her daughter’s hair. “You, your brother and sister, Dad, and Shadow...I missed all of you so much.”
------
As soon as Sven and Brandt emerged from the portal, they immediately tried to find the women of the Felman family, and it didn’t take the Felman men too long to see...Kari and Shadow looking around and finally stopping once they saw...Grey and Dagny clearly having just come through the portal around the same time and hugging each other tightly. Brandt stopped at the sight of his wife hugging their middle daughter. Grey’s back was to him, so she clearly didn’t see him as she shared a reunion with Dagny.
However, once he set his eyes on his mother and his sister, Sven wasted no time in running over. “Mom!” he shouted.
-------
Kari and Shadow emerged from the portal with Azul, and after Kari thanked Azul for her help, Shadow crooned as she looked at something a few feet from them...from this. Kari furrowed her eyebrows together as she followed Shadow’s line of vision, and finally she understood once she saw her mother and her older sister. Tears came to her eyes upon seeing her mother, and she just couldn’t contain herself anymore. Tears came into her eyes as she took off with Shadow behind her. “Mommy!” she shouted.
-------
Grey jolted out of her thoughts as she held onto Dagny as soon as she heard two other very familiar voices coming toward her and Dagny. They were coming from different directions, but she saw that it was Sven and Kari. As soon as she saw them coming toward her, the smile returned to her face tenfold, and while Dagny continued to hold onto her, she opened her arms to Sven and Kari.
“Hey, guys!” Grey said tearfully as Sven and Kari practically plowed into them joining in the group hug.
“Mom!” they shouted in unison.
“Oh my gods,” Grey said tearfully, “I can’t believe I get to hold you all in my arms again.”
“We missed you so much, Mom,” Sven said sniffling.
“I missed you so much, too, Sven,” Grey said leaning into him, “all three of you.” She pulled away while still holding on afraid that this would all disappear at any moment. “You three are okay right? Y-You weren’t hurt?”
“No, no, we’re okay,” Sven said sniffling. “We’re just glad to have you back.”
“Me too,” Grey said as she pulled them back into the hug.
“But we should be asking you that,” Sven said pulling away again slightly. “Are you okay?”
“I’m better now that you’re all here,” Grey said. This wasn’t the time to go into details. They needed to be with each other again...revel in how they were all together again...and cry and hug. Soon, they would need to take back the island, but that would come later. Right now, she just needed to be with her amazing children...and...
“You know, girls, I know you’re glad to see your mom, but what about me?” another voice asked.
They all looked only to see...
“Daddy!” Dagny and Kari shouted in unison as they ran from Grey to Brandt while Sven stayed with Grey. He already reunited with their father. It was his sisters’ turn, just as it was his turn to reunite with their mother.
“Hey, there are my girls!” Brandt said as he gather Dagny and Kari in his arms.
“We missed you so much, Daddy!” Kari shouted happily as she cried into Brandt’s shoulder feeling him lift them up off the ground.
“I missed you too, baby girl,” Brandt said as he held his daughters close as tears flowed down his cheeks. He then placed kisses on their cheeks.
Grey beamed from ear to ear as she watched the scene unfold between her husband and their daughters. She then noticed Sven still hugging her, and she wasted no time in hugging him tightly in return.
“My baby boy,” Grey said.
“Mom...” Sven said hugging her tightly, “I-I’m sorry you guys had to wait so long. I—”
“No, no, none of that,” Grey said as she pulled back to look her son in the eyes. “We’ll talk more later, but there’s no reason to be sorry, okay?”
Sven nodded before he pulled his mother into another hug.
The Chief was about to say something else when she heard a croon from behind her son. She looked up only to see Shadow looking at her, and Sven must’ve heard it too because he slowly moved out of the way to allow his mother to reunite with her dragon.
“Shadow...” Grey whispered. It was the first time they were seeing each other in 2 weeks, and while Grey knew that Shadow was okay, it was overjoying to see her beloved Night Fury right in front of her eyes again.
The Night Fury crooned happily almost as if she was about to cry herself, and both the Chief and the dragon were brought back to the last time they were separated almost 26 years ago. Grey smiled at her before practically leaping forward and hugging Shadow around her neck as Shadow mimicked it as best as she could with her head.
“Oh, girl, I missed you,” Grey said. “I’m so glad you’re okay.”
Shadow crooned and nuzzled Grey so grateful that she had her best friend close to her side again. The last time she saw Grey was when they were all captured and the pirates dragged her into the stables while Grey was taken to the Great Hall with the leader of their captors. She did not know what happened to Grey or Brandt after that, and she had been hoping that they would get to be reunited and fight back against the pirates.
“I’m so sorry, Shadow,” Grey finally said after a moment. She sniffled. “I’m so sorry this happened.”
The Night Fury crooned as if to say “no,” and she nuzzled Grey even more trying to convince her that it wasn’t her fault...that she didn’t do anything to cause it. The pirates did this. They made this choice.
Sven’s face fell hearing his mother apologize to Shadow blaming herself. “M-Mom...” he began to say before a hand landed on his shoulder.
He looked up only to see that it was his father silently telling to let him handle this. The Heir smiled and nodded. His parents didn’t have a chance to talk, so now was the perfect time to let that happen. Shadow clearly saw it as well because she gently pulled away from Grey so that they could look each other in the eye, and Grey placed her forehead against Shadow’s...both of them reveling in seeing each other again.
“Grey, what did I tell you?” Brandt said causing Grey to gasp and turned around to come face-to-face with her husband...her loving husband. “This is not your fault. It was the pirates’ choice. You did what you needed to do.”
Grey slowly turned to face her husband with widened eyes and a dropped jaw. After 16 days, she was finally face-to-face with her husband. She was looking at his hazel eyes once again, and they weren’t bounded by chains anymore and forced apart. Tears came to her eyes as she smiled. “Hi...” she breathed. 
“Hi...my love,” Brandt said as he placed a hand on Grey’s cheek as tears came into his own eyes. He had spent 16 days trapped in that cell wondering if he was ever going to see his wife and their children again, and now here they were...together again thanks to their children and the Rebellion. He couldn’t take it. He needed her in his arms. So he grabbed Grey’s hand to pull her into his embrace.
Grey however was one step ahead of him and leaped into his arms wrapping her legs around his middle and her arms around his neck. “Brandt...” she breathed as she sobbed into his shoulder.
He gladly returned the gesture holding her close as tears poured down his cheeks. “Grey...” he said. 
She pulled away to look him in the eye and placed her hands on his face pulling him in for a deep kiss. The last time they kissed...it was when they were about to be separated. It was a promise, a desperate plea to stay together for as long as possible, but now...it was a reunion, a promise to never be separated again. Both the Chief and her second-in-command silently promised they were never letting each other out of their sight again. 
It was a moment before they finally pulled away. Grey placed her forehead against his. “I love you,” she said. “I love you so much.”
“I love you too,” Brandt said before kissing her again. 
“Ewww...” three voices said in unison causing Brandt and Grey to pull away...only to see that it was their children staring at them. 
“‘Ew?’“ Brandt said raising an eyebrow and a smirk. “Excuse me, how do you think you three were made?”
“Ugh...Daddy,” Dagny said giggling. “That’s gross.”
“Gross?” Grey said as Brandt placed her back on the ground. “You have a boyfriend, young lady. Just you wait. You won’t think it’s so gross then.”
They all giggled, and as soon as Brandt and Grey opened their arms, the three Felman teenagers ran into their parents’ embrace joining in on the group hug. Shadow wasted no time in wrapping herself around the family nuzzling against them.
“Okay, I love you guys and I’m really glad we saved you,” Sven said as he pulled away after a moment, “but...is there any chance that after this is over...we can all stop being in peril for...five minutes?”
They all laughed at his question.
“I promise, guys,” Grey said as they returned to the group hug, “this will never...happen again. No matter what...this will never happen again.”
