⌛️ Speed PAINT: Here | More about VLD Fix it AU: Here

After the war, the Atlas had to stay in Earth for around a year and a half. The planet was healing after the Galra invasion and it wasn’t wise to send the ship in a mission when the Earth was still a mess.

In that time, the Holts and Krolia adopted Shiro. Matt loved teasing him, saying that he was the big brother because Shiro was only 6 years-old. If Shiro wasn’t with the Holts, he was with Keith and his mom or helping where the needs call.

Even with the calm and homely environment, the nightmares were still there. He didn’t want to go to the psychologist until Lance made him talk. They talked about Kuron, about his nightmares and his headaches. He cried and he didn’t scream, but he was frustrated. So he accepted the help. It took him time to get better, but he had his family support.

When the Atlas was ready for its first mission after the hiatus, Shiro was ready too. He loved space more than anything, and the PTSD wasn’t going to stop him. Especially if the mission was too appealing for him.

“To explore new worlds, seek out new civilizations and motivated other planets to join the Galactic Coalition.”

During his time at the Atlas, Shiro and Hunk’s duet worked better than expected. Their teamwork attracted many planets to join the Coalition and helped to open new doors for the Earth.

He found a new passion for writing. With each new planet he visited, he created a whole new world with letters. And when Hunk became Earth’s Ambassador, Shiro steps down of the Atlas and pursued his new love.

The first manuscript he finished, he sent it to Allura and Coran. He wrote about Altea and Daibazaal, about the first Paladins and their heroic deeds. He wrote what the Black Lion couldn’t say but feel.

There were tears and a lot of “thank you” and “I’m sorry”. After that, the book was sent to the other Paladins and to the editorial with the Alteans approval. And the last page said:

Dedicated to my family, to Voltron, and Kuron, a victim of the war.

Extras:

The black cat is Princess Sirius (yes, Shiro named her Princess lol) for the brightest star in the night sky. Because she has only one white spot in her black fur. (Name by little_cosmic_doodles from IG).
A year later after the war, Keith found the white cat inside the Black Lion. Nobody knew where had come or how he gets in Black. Shiro adopted him without thinking twice. Pidge named him Commander Pawkins because she wasn’t going to let Shiro use a boring name again. - (Thanks to @breadstickcat for the name!).
And about Shiro’s love life… I’m leaving it open for you guys .

And thanks to: @naramyon @whitepolaris @rubymoon-snape @answrs and @jude-blakes-adventures for suggestions! It was a hard decision because they were really good names >u<
