RATING/WARNING(S): G
WIP?/WORD COUNT: Complete | 5302
MAIN CHARACTERS: Pidge, ensemble

FIC SUMMARY: Pidge starts a garden on the Castle of Lions.
Or: seven conversations Pidge has while standing next to a tree.

RECCER'S NOTES:

This is one of those things you really wish was a missing scene or episode from canon. It's such a cute idea, and it's executed particularly well here. Everyone is so in character as they visit Pidge's garden to talk or think things over, and the descriptions of the garden building and growing are very satisfying.

RATING/WARNING(S): Teen | Violence/Injury
WIP?/WORD COUNT: Complete | 50777
MAIN CHARACTERS: Shiro, Hunk, Lance, Pidge, Keith, Allura, Coran

FIC SUMMARY: Being an amputee with a prosthetic limb is difficult enough. Having a solid metal alien prosthetic forced on you by another species entirely is even worse.

OR:

Five times Shiro’s Galra arm caused him trouble in some way and another member of the team helped him out with it, and the one time the same arm is the only reason any of them survive.

RECCER'S NOTES:

This fic is incredible. Amazing character voices, a huge, huge amount of hurt/comfort, and incredible tension and emotion. Shiro learning to deal with his Galra arm, not just physically, but emotionally, and all the Paladins + Allura + Coran helping him as best they can (even when he's doing his best to ensure he battles on alone, goddamn it Shiro). I mean seriously, this fic is incredible.

RATING/WARNING(S): Teen | Violence
WIP?/WORD COUNT: Complete | 12844
MAIN CHARACTERS: Shiro, Hunk, Keith, Lance, Pidge, Allura

FIC SUMMARY: The only way to save this planet, and his friends, is to fight. It's not the same; it's close enough. Shiro doesn't have a choice.

RECCER'S NOTES:

Fantastic voices in this fic, and fantastic Shiro. This fic really plays with the possibilities of different plants and cultures and what the Galra's reach can do, and the canon reality of planets other than Earth and what might be possible there.

RATING/WARNING(S): G
WIP?/WORD COUNT: Complete | 40,020
MAIN CHARACTERS: Shiro, Lance, Pidge, Hunk, Keith, Allura, Coran

FIC SUMMARY: After a Galra attack splits Voltron, the blue lion is damaged and falls toward the jungle planet below. Shiro follows, and now he and Lance are stranded in hostile territory, fighting to survive. Lance is injured, Shiro is having flashbacks, and help is far away. And the Galra just...keep coming.

RECCER'S NOTES:

One of the most hurty/comforty hurt/comfort fics I've ever read. So much admiration and nurturing and cuddling in this and I love it so much. I think the relationship between Shiro and Lance is captured really well and the voices are great.

RATING/WARNING(S): M | violence (above canon-typical)
WIP?/WORD COUNT: Completed | 12073
MAIN CHARACTERS: Shiro, Pidge, Hunk, Lance, Keith, Allura, Coran

FIC SUMMARY: Five times that no one was thinking of Shiro as a dad.

RECCER'S NOTES:

This fic has a mix of everything. It's the first in a series but it's complete within itself and it's like a rollercoaster of all of my favourite things - found family, angst, fluffy feels, hurt/comfort, and there's a great sense of humour all woven through it as well.
