Shiro’s Keith Vision

Come back, I will always wait for you

Tv tropes + sheith (9)

Star-Crossed Lovers

“Two lovers -often teenagers- doomed to be kept apart no matter how hard they struggle to be together. It may be Fate….or something as mundane as a few hundred miles separation, but something will always be in their way.”

First they were separated by the Kerberos Mission going wrong. For a whole year it was like this. (While Keith was alone he found those lion carvings that described some kind of arrival fated to happen that night…)

(With Keith not even expecting to find Shiro at the crash site.)

Then again in Across The Universe. Shiro and Keith fell onto that planet together, and at the last second their lions seemed to fling in opposite directions. (For some reason this one stands out to me for this trope. I mean, Hunk and Lance landed together, but why do these two always seem to be pulled apart?)

Shiro and Keith landed miles from each other. Then Keith ran to him and saved Shiro just in time, reuniting them once again.

Then in Blackout. After the fight against Zarkon Shiro doesn’t respond on the coms, his lion seems like it’s out of power. Keith is the first one there, running to Shiro…

But this time Shiro wasn’t there. Somehow disappearing. (In someway that hasn’t even been fully explained yet.) But then, because of the Black Lion sensing him (and Shiro being lucky enough to steal a ship), they finally find each other again.

Most of the things that keep them separated seems like really bad luck. It’s something that’s usually out of their control that keeps them apart. It happens again and again, and seems like it could keep happening.

(Note: Romeo and Juliet is a well known story with this trope. Very often Star-Crossed Lovers ends tragically with the Together in Death trope. I feel like it doesn’t always have to end that way though. (I’m just hoping for the best here.)  “Star-Crossed” meaning that the stars (destiny/fate) are against them. It certainly feels like something is always pulling these two apart.)

sleeping at last- “saturn”

Keith died, Shiro ran, but never far enough.

Credits by me: LIAH♡ Please do not steal♡

Keith is worrying over Shiro seeing his Galra form((halfway galra lolol))

OBVIOUSLY HE HAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT-

ohhhh my god

With the knowledge that Adam gave Shiro an ultimatum—him or the mission, this scene gets a whole new meaning to me. A way more painful one. Because as you may remember, the real Shiro was watching this

Shiro, who was forced to pick between his partner or the mission, would never make someone else pick between him or their family. Shiro knew how painful that was.

got commissioned by the wonderful @avidbeader to illustrate a scene from the painful and beautiful fic a disturbing lack of flora 💕

“Hang in there, buddy.”
