Summary
“Do you know how many mistakes your “report” contains?” Dutch is too busy rolling her eyes at Turin’s use of air quotes to reply.
D’av, on the other hand, laughs, “seriously? You rang us up because my report had typos? Man, must be a slow day at the office!” D’av’s voice is light, superficially, but there’s an undertone there, like he’s gearing up for a fight.
“206,” Turin says, “I counted.”
“Oh, that’s just sad,” D’av says. Johnny snorts into his coffee.
“Shut up!” Turin yells, “This. Is. Not. A. Joke! Now I get that brains are not really your department here, but if you’re really too stupid to write a coherent report, well. Maybe the RAC made a mistake with you!”
There’s a beat before she realises that D’av’s not replying, he’s staring, tight lipped at the screen, his face carefully blank.
Have you ever sat down and thought to yourself "what if D'avin Jaqobis was dyslexic?"
No? Well, I did, and this is the resulting fic.

Summary
In the month since Shiro dropped into blue base, Wash hasn’t really known what to make of him. The young stranger with enough scars to give Wash a run for his money. With a prosthetic arm that made Sarge drool when he first saw it in action. With his surprising severity and sly humor and did Wash forget to mention his stupidly pretty face?
Yeah, okay, Wash knew exactly what he wanted to make of Shiro—and all the surfaces and positions he’d like to visit along the way—but he was also acutely aware that Shiro’s stranded farther from home than he could ever imagine. That for all his charm, half the time Shiro stares into space watching something else play out behind his eyes, flinching at loud noises and sudden movements before retreating to his room. Yeah, Wash knows when he should leave well enough alone. At least he’s had these last few weeks to look his fill as they’ve tried to figure out a way to send Shiro back home.

Summary
AU inspired by Hercules where ‘Greece’ is occupied by aliens and humans alike, the Paladins are gods and goddesses, and Keith is forced out of retirement by some handsome musclehead who claims to be burdened with a quest to become a god.“His name is Yorak,” the glowing statue says. With a name like that, Shiro imagines a towering, mean looking man with tattoos and a mace.
“He is the former trainer of many champions in the Galran Coliseum — the best there is. He lives on an island in the Dalterion Sea. Something of a hermit these days.” Alright, a towering Galran with tattoos, a mace, and a sour attitude. Later, he would find only one aspect of his mental image to be correct. “Under his tutelage you will undoubtedly prove yourself a true hero. Then, you can reclaim your place with us on Mount Voltron. You can come home, my dear Shiro.”

Five times they danced around their feelings and one time they didn't.

Catherine groans when Leonie’s boisterous laugh drifts up to where they’re sitting, just out of sight in the branches of a big old oak tree. She shifts, pulling Shamir closer in the cradle of her body, and shakes her head.
“We were never that dumb and oblivious,” Catherine asserts, and Shamir can hear the smile in her voice.
Shamir shrugs slightly, knowing the corners of her own mouth are pulling upwards and glad Catherine can’t see. “You were.”
