#... I just have all the other sick symtoms kicking my ass

[lotidge]

You know after Lotor was done dirty in canon. I started listening to My Past is Not Today from Equestria Girls on loop. The song fits Lotor in my opinion.

(forgive any spelling and grammar errors, Mod Hess wrote this while home VERY ill)

You could just do what i do and... Ignore the parts of canon you don't like. Also just listened to the song, it 100% fits how i would write Lotor in an ACTUAL redemption art.

Here's how I would write it:

Once he joins the Castle of Lion's crew he's 100% intending on betraying them eventually.

However, as time goes on he slowly becomes close to the Paladins and the crew on the castle.

Allura becomes like a sister to him (because this is a LOTIDGE account god damn it)

He and Hunk bond over helping each other cook, he helps Hunk identify what he's cooking with, and Hunk teaches Lotor how to make appetizing meals.

Shiro and Lotor bond over different leading methods and what works best on a small scale vs a large scale.

Lance, as soon as he realizes Lotor doesn't like Allura like that, becomes Lotor's wingman and one of his closest friends. Especially when he learns of his womanizing past. "Teach me your ways wise one." "Yeah no, you are not going to win Allura like that."

Coran becomes a father figure to Lotor like he is for Allura. and he teaches Lotor about Altean culture and Holidays.

Pidge and Lotor... Have an awkward relationship at first, because Lotor for 'some reason' can't speak a smart word around her. Once they start dating they are a power couple.

Keith and Lotor bond over having lost heritage their working on reconnecting with.

Matt... does not like Lotor for the simple fact he's dating Pidge.

Over time his bonds exceed his goal and one night he's sobbing confessing his plans to betray them to the group, but he realizes... He can't.

They've grown to mean so much for him. So he reveals all he knows of the quintessence field and they take his ships built from the 'Voltron Meteor' (how else do you describe that thing), and make a new lion to match the rest of the Voltron Lions.

So the 'more paladins then lions' issue is settled. And they make the Pink Lion of Voltron for Allura. Which works as a backup in case of the other lions out of commission, Voltron can still be formed.

Coran then trains Lotor how to fly the castle, so he can lead them to save the Alteans he's used as living batteries and make amends as well as save any that may still be alive.

Soon the Castle of Lions is no longer just 6-9 people any given day. It has a whole Altean crew being trained on how to work its facilities.

Alteans like Romelle have their issues with Lotor still, but they also see he is trying to make up for his misdeeds and is truly a new man.

And eventually when they go back to Earth with some Galra and the Castle of Lions for a Peace mission (and to allow the Paladins to see their familys again) Lotor apologizes for everything the Humans were put through because of the Galra. And to make up for it he will make sure that a human always has a say in the Empire's affairs.

Iverson: How will you work that out? Lotor: Oh! I have plans on marrying a human!

Iverson: Please say it's not Lance...

Lotor: He did pay me $10 to joke and say it was.

Iverson: ... Who is it

Pidge: Hey Legolass you done with your boring politics? I want to see if we can upgrade all ships with Green's Cloaking capabilities!

Lotor: *looking absolutely smitten* Just a second! *looks back to IVerson* I like my partners smart and feral.

Iverson: ... Earth is in good hands... But the Galaxy garrison has some formal Apologies to make toward...

Lotor: Her Full Title would be Empress Kathrine Pidge Holt-Gunderson, Green Paladin of Voltron, Protector of the Universe. Galra and Alteans do not have last names so I will likely be taking hers

Pidge: But Every can still just call me Pidge.

Taking care of him when he’s sick

Heeseung

You came home expecting your boyfriend to play video games as always. " Hee baby I am home" you shouted right after you opened the front door. Usually Heeseung would shout back or pause his game to come to you but not this time, even after you called him a second time you get no response. After searching for him nearly everywhere you ended up finding him asleep in bed which makes you frown since he barely sleeps outside of bedtime. You sat beside him on bed which makes him open his eyes slightly. " Ah Y/n you are already back" he mumbled in a hotter voice interrupted by a cough." Aigo Hee are you sick?" you asked him worriedly. " Nah no way!" he raised his voice a little and fastly sat up on bed. " Ouch" he fell imedialtly back in bed while holding his head. You just chuckled by his behaviour " Yeah sure your completely fine" you said sacrastically. "I am Y/n,  I just have to rest a bit" he denied. You just shock your head " Then just try to sleep a bit while I make you a healthy soup". He shocked his head " just make me some ramen Y/n" and another caugh he insisted to have ramen so you had no other chance.

Well he ended up trowing it up afterwards "Y/n, lets try your soup next time and give me this disgusting medicine, you were right I guess I am sick." he said in a baredly audible voice while crawling back to bed.

Jay

This man knows exactly what to do when someone is sick so he does when he felt the first symtoms of a cold rushing through his body. You just came home and find him standing by the kitchen counter. To suprise him You sneaked up from behind  and gave him a slap on his ass. Well maybe you were too impetuous because he spilled the medicine he had measured on a tablespoon. "Aishh... Y/n don't scare me from behind, look at the mess aish jinja" you looked at the spilled liquid at  the counter and laughed " Sorry not sorry" but then your eyes felt on the medicine bottle " Huh... Jay baby are you sick ?!!"  you asked worriedly " Don't know I just started to feel some symtoms" he answered after swallowing the refilled spoon of medizin.

Well he was right, the next morning he couldn't barely open his eyes. He just felt so weak. " Jay you have a high fever" you informed him as you checked on his temperature. You felt helpless at that moment not gonna lie " I will make you those ... eh..." you've forgot what it was called. " calf wrap. It is called calf wrap and don't forget to bring me the fever medicine " he mumbled. "YAH!!  Jay you should rest" you shook your head. "Even when he has a high fever he manages it to correct me. As if he was born to act like a mom pff " you thought as you searched for the medicine in the kitchen.

Jake

You knew immediately that something was wrong. You just sat on couch beside Jake normally you would cuddle up and talk about your day but not today. He stayed away from you and he barely spoke, his eyes were clued on the Tv and he constantly cleared this thought. After a few minutes of observing him you've had enough. "Jakey please tell me whats wrong I hate seeing us like this. Why are you ignoring me!!" his eyes sweapt to you "I guess I am sick" he finally announced in a hotter voice  " I just don't want to infect you, I am sorry I should have told you right away" after saying this he started to cought like crazy.

Well he ended up staying in bed with a high fever the next morning making you drop your work for the day to take care of your sick boyfriend. As soon he had told you about his sickness he kept complainig all day long. " Y/nie... my head hurts and my throat and my nose is running constantly please help me." you singed " Then take your medicine finally!!" " No ! That stuff is so disgusting" he whined. After hours of explainig him the importance to take his medicine he finally swalloed it. " Gosh... you're even worse than a kid" you mumbeled to yourself after leaving the room. He basically kicked you out to make sure you’ re not getting sick. " I've heard that Y/n!!" he tryed to yell after you but his voice cracked.

Sunghoon

Sunghoon felt sick but he just didn't want to stay in bed doing nothing so he took a bunch of pain killers to feel better to finish his work. As you came home from work you've found him sitting in front of his laptop with a lowered head masaging his temples and groaning in pain. Right beside him was the bin filled with a bunch of uses tissues you know that he was sick and you've told thim to take a day off to recover but he just ignored your advice which made you even more worried about him and his condition. "Sunghoon baby don't you think you should at least take a break" you asked while aproching him. He turned his head to look at you his nose was completely red from using tons of tissues "Y/nie I am totally *snezze* fine *snezze* " you signed and came closer to him putting your hands on this forehead and as already expected it was buring hot. "You're having a fever! You will go and take a rest now" his lips already parted to protest but before he could say a word you shut him down by puting your hand in front of his mouth. " GO ... NOW! you raised your voice and shutted the laptop closed.

Poor boy was so shocked by your sudden reaction but followed your command. The next day he felt a lot better " Well I guess I should listen to her more often" he said to himself while grinning.

Sunoo

The night before, Sunoo complained of a severe headache but the two of you did not think that it was the harbinger of a cold. Well, the next morning you couldn't get him out of bed. "Y/Nie I'm so cold and my neck is so sore," he complained in a barely audible voice. Your heart ached at the sight of him, because he is usually always cheerful and lively. "I'm going to make you a warm tea and then get you some medicine, okay?" you asked him, to which he just nodded.

Why don't you get some sleep? you asked after watching him stare at the ceiling for what felt like 20 minutes. "I can't and besides I'm still cold Y/n" he pouted. You stared at him in disbelief, because you had wrapped him in three blankets already. But then you had an idea, you grabbed the remote control and crawled to Sunoo under the many blankets. "Let's watch Disney movies together," you said with a big smile on your face. He snuggled closer to you and said "finally I've been waiting for this all morning".

Jungwon

Today was an important day for Jungwon, as the leader of Enhypen he had a meeting with the company management about the upcoming comeback. Unfortunately, he woke up with a sore throat and a headache but even after your insistent attempts to cancel the meeting he decided to go through with it.

The meeting went on for hours and Jungwon's condition got worse and worse he just made it to your apartment. When he opened the door and you looked him in the eye you got a shock, you could see in his lazy eyes that he was not at all well. "Omg Wonie," you said and hugged him. "Y/n...I feel so limp" he only barely audibly said before he slowly lost consciousness in your arms.

After you somehow managed to put him to bed you immediately called a doctor fortunately he found nothing wrong. Jungwon should have simply listened better to the signals of his body. After he finally regained consciousness, you gave him his medicine. "What happened...have you cried?" he asked in shock when he saw your red puffy eyes. You tried to smile and stroked his cheek. "I was so worried about you.... please promise me that this will never happen again."

Ni-ki

You got a call from the guys that Ni-ki was sick and the others had a busy schedule so they couldn't check on him. Without hesitation you set off for the boys' dorm. When you entered the apartment everything was quiet so you assumed that he was asleep but he was not in his room which made you wonder. You finally found him in the kitchen. "They really called you?" he asked in an incredulous and hotter voice as he saw you. "They must really think I'm a helpless little kid." He shook his head in disbelief and drank from his cup, but as soon as he swallowed he started coughing like crazy. You immediately ran to his side, "Orange juice...". Are you serious? Even a child knows that this is not good for your sore throat! Ah jinja" he just eyed you from the side while still struggling with coughing fits. "Go to bed, I'll make you some tea and then we'll take the medicine!" he just rolled his eyes but followed your command "as if I would die from it" he just mumbled.

Well as the day got older his condition got worse and he started to vomit you helped him to the toilet and back to bed. "Y/n I think I'm going to die!" "YAH!!! Don't say that, you're not going to die at least not when I'm with you" "Thank you Y/n" he mumbled before falling asleep from exhaustion.
