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:

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.
