Summary
Okay, so, Matt definitely did not expect Keith and Lance to be friends.
Much less to be in love with each other?
Much much less for no one else on Team Voltron to notice this?
What the hell is going on here?

Summary
A series of short fics that I ramble out about these poor, unfortunate VLD souls.
Final Fic:(80) Follow You Home: Voltron is heading home. Except, for Keith, the destination of Earth isn’t his home. There’s no one waiting for him there. And, he tries to tell himself, that it’s not like the space family he'd made up here with Voltron would abandon him as they go seek out their own loved ones on Earth. But he’s so used to being left behind so why should this time be any different? Fortunately, Pidge is right there to remind Keith just how much he belongs with all of them.
Some Author Favorites:
(11) Crimson Promises: There's blood everywhere except where it should be, which is inside Lance. All Hunk can do is hold him as he shivers, respond to his confused, pained breathless words and pray that help arrives soon.
(26) Cave-In: Shiro and Lance are trapped in a cave-in. It’s really nothing bad, no one was hurt and help is already on the way, even if they’ll be in this dark, cramped space for a few hours more. Something though is wrong with Lance. And Shiro thinks he knows what might be the cause.- Language:

Summary
[Sequel to Not a Joking Matter] When Matt volunteered to go undercover alongside Keith to help break up a slave trade ring, he knew there was the possibility the experience might bring up some bad memories of his own time as a slave. But what he did not expect was to wind up back at the exact same slave camp. And he definitely didn’t expect that the memories of his recent abduction for medical experimentation to make such a violent comeback either.

Summary
Matt imagines that he feels warm. That he has a normal pair of pajamas on. That neither of them are stuck in this little technological hermit cave and are back at the garrison or the Castle of Lions Lance described to him or a fucking hotel room on Earth, just not here doing this. Whatever this is. He pretends that they’re two, normal, alive people, just cuddling together for- because-
Oh. Oh.
Oh, that’s not fucking funny. That is so not funny.
Because he whispers into Lance’s hair, tell me about your family, and Lance starts talking again, and he feels that boulder of utter anguish trying to kill him. And maybe Lance doesn’t notice or does but doesn’t mention it or Matt has gotten really good at this pretending thing all of a sudden, but while Lance talks about something his older brother did, Matt mourns the loss of his life again. It doesn’t help when he realizes they’ve technically never met, Matt’s just met his ghost. How did he manage to fall in love with a ghost?
What kind of sick fucking joke is this, you know?

Captured by the Galra Empire, Matt Holt endures agonizing experiments that push him to his limits and beyond. When something strange and unnatural emerges from his back, he’s forced to confront a horrifying truth: his body has been reshaped, his humanity twisted into something unrecognizable.

Summary
It started with quintessence—the boiling heat, the numbing cold, the strange power coursing through his veins.
After Shiro’s desperate act to protect him leaves him wounded, Matt becomes the focus of Zarkon’s witch, who sees him as a contingency plan for her Champion’s potential failure. To her, anyone can be made into a warrior.
But Matt has no intention of being anyone’s pawn. Armed with newfound abilities that could rival Death itself, he’s not planning to roll over and die. Instead, he’ll use his power to turn the game on its head and get the hell out of dodge—before the Galra can twist him into something unrecognizable.
Survival isn’t just about running. For Matt, it’s about making sure they never see him coming.
Or, Matt unlocks some seriously creepy, Death Note-style powers and uses them to nope right out of there like his life depends on it—because it does.

Summary
Matt Holt recently found out his sister is up in space.
Now he's found out his pseudo-younger brother is up here too. But he's not with Voltron and Shiro. No. He's with the Blade of Marmora who would abandon him (and Matt) without a backwards glance if it meant completing their mission objective.
Matt may have found out about all this while he was strapped down and interrogated, but somehow he's the one walking away with answers. There are still so many to find though and he's not stopping until he has the full story.
Because Keith deserves to be safe and loved and have a team that'll watch his back. And Matt is never going to let his younger brother be left behind again.

Summary
When Shiro saves Matt’s life by sacrificing his own, Matt has a feeling that being forced to work until he died as a quarry slave wasn’t the future Shiro had envisioned. Matt sure didn’t either. So he needs to do something to change his fate. But now that he’s attracted the attention of a Druid who wants to use his mind for her own and will take any means necessary… he wonders if it would have been better to just die in the arena. But Holts aren’t quitters. And somehow, some way, he’s going to make it out of here.
Or; Canon compliant take on what happened to Matt following the arena and how he joined the Rebels with (more than) a little whump along the way.

Summary
Matt Holt may seem perfectly fine, but define "fine." It’s been a good few years since he was last on Earth. In those passing years, he’s been kidnapped by aliens, promptly been rescued, joined an intergalactic war, been taught to fight and defend himself, and lost people in the process. How "fine" could he actually be?
A post-season-7 fan fiction dedicated to a more serious version of Matt Holt. Don’t get me wrong, I love the whole goofy, loving older brother who lets nothing bother him, but I beg to differ. Would anyone really be perfectly "fine" after going through what he likely went through? Some people’s psyches aren’t as "normal" as you’d like to think, and I’d like to explore that side of Matt.
Because this began before the release of season 8, there will be no regards to the plot of the final season as this all will have taken place before it and have verged from the canon storyline.

Summary
Matt's bad leg starts acting up. This is the perfect time to talk about how much he can take care of himself. And who better to tell than the first person walking by, also known as the man that put him in that position to begin with. Yikes.

“I know right?” Matt’s not sure where he’s going with the story, he flexes his biceps as much as he can without moving the two of them too much, “And now I’m super buff and strong.”
