In Addition To Being A Latchkey Kid, I Was The Official Babysitter For My Younger Sibling And My Cousins.

In addition to being a latchkey kid, I was the official babysitter for my younger sibling and my cousins. Starting from age 10 or so. Ever played dodgeball with apples? Do not recommend. My cousins thought it was a great idea though.

Title: The Rites of Courtship

Pairing/Characters: Keith/Thace

Rating Explicit | E

Warnings/Tags: Graphic Violence, Non-con/Rape

(Past) attempted/threatened rape, imprisonment, mildly dubious consent(only at beginning of relationship), canon Galra-bigotry,

Additional tags: AU. Alien biology/genitalia for Keith, Keith believes he's intersex, alien culture/courtship rituals, alien gender/sexuality, alien sex, possible/eventual mpreg (that is totally normal by alien standards), Keith and Shiro are adopted siblings, Allura's Galra-related traumas get aggravated but the Paladins and Coran help her through them, Keith has three parents, quad-sexed ovoviviparous marsupial Galra, Thace is a very devoted and loving consort/husband.

Summary: During the raid on the Galactic Hub, Keith is captured alongside Allura. Trapped amid a multitude of Galra who think Keith smells like sex and have every intention of forcibly taking what they want, Keith has to rely on the one Galra soldier who seems to want to help him. Choosing a consort through an ancient Galran rite is much better than the alternative, but it still means sex with a virtual stranger that Keith isn't sure he can trust. This is just a temporary thing until his friends can arrive to help him escape; Keith can do this. (He's really not sure he can do this.)

Additional spoilerific tldr summary: Keith gets captured, not knowing he's a Galra-hybrid that is currently fertile. Enemy Galra can smell it, and a bunch of the worst assholes in the bunch are all for raping the enemy they just captured. Thace desperately searches for a way to save Keith without blowing his cover as a spy, and hits upon the idea of an ancient Galra courtship/marriage rite(s) that will make sure Keith is protected until complete, thus stalling for time until Voltron can rescue him.

Except, Voltron doesn't show up when Thace was hoping. Keith asks Thace to be involved in the rites because Thace is at least trying to help. They end up completing the rites, becoming consorts, and even after more stalling for time Voltron hasn't shown up. Faced with worse than death, they discuss things together and decide to consummate, partly because they've already started to catch feelings for each other.

Voltron is still MIA, and Keith stumbles on Thace being a rebel spy, so while navigating Keith's new situation in the Galra fleet as Thace's consort they start planning Keith's and Allura's (and Thace's, because Keith isn't leaving without him damn it!) eventual escape.

On the eve of said escape, Voltron shows up, of course, and so begins Keith and Thace trying to figure out how to fit in with Voltron as Paladin and Consort, (and Galra rebel-spy and Galra-hybrid,) and with Allura having been traumatized by her time in captivity, to help her heal. Oh, and they still have to make allies and save the universe from a very angry Zarkon (and deliver a very final 'fuck you' to a would-have-been rapist), while navigating a new relationship, meeting new (and old) family, and team bonding. Oh and face a potential pregnancy somewhere in there too.

Behold her magnificence! Look at her grace! Sharks are so awesome.

As someone who uses a cane myself, I must reblog because All This. 

Also I want to contribute that my sister and grandfather have canes made out of repurposed vintage farm equipment and horseshoes. 

And once I saw a woman at a concert who had a cane that was molded to look like a femur. CANE GOALS. 

i think more characters should have canes actually. theyre cool. theyre sexy. they can have swords in them. they come in any color u want.

So, I know this is probably not gonna make the cut as it's not your current blorbs. All good. But I gotta shoot my shot. I'll request Kisame and Gai outfit swap please 🥺

No Kisame, your butt does not look big in this outfit.
