[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/9894662/chapters/22180274 Handbook of Demonology]] by [[http://archiveofourown.org/users/squirenonny/pseuds/squirenonny squirenonny]]
* Recommended by nebroadwe
* ''Status'': Ongoing
* ''Synopsis'': While searching for the truth behind their families' disappearance in a ritual apparently gone wrong, Keith and Pidge hire a pair of amateur witches, the "psychic" Lance the Lucid and his friend Hunk, a potion maker, to help them summon the demon Zarkon for answers. They accidentally summon Allura instead and become caught up in the war between Alteans and Galra.
* ''Comments'': Entertainingly plotted thus far, but the worldbuilding is what shines. The author acknowledges a debt to Brandon Sanderson and Jonathan Stroud, but makes the tropes of demonology and magic their own; canonical plot and character developments are given just the right twist to work in this new magitechnical environment. Characterization is also handled deftly; though practically everyone begins by working at cross-purposes, the sense of a team in the making keeps even the arguments interesting.

* Recommended by nebroadwe
* ''Pairing'': Shiro/Allura
* ''Status'': Complete
* ''Synopsis'': If Shiro isn't going to confess his feelings for Allura, then the Black Lion will take matters into her own ... paws.
* ''Comments'': Written from the point of view of the Black Lion, this story of a sentient magitechnical AI playing Cupid is both cute and a hoot. The Lion's perspective is appropriately and hilariously limited and its increasing frustration and bafflement with its human partner ("I swear by my delta rotors if you have been deliberately making things difficult this whole time … ") is entertainingly depicted. Well worth a look even if you aren't a fan of this 'ship.

* ''Synoposis'': The Paladins had never expected to see it so soon. Earth, home. All Lance and Hunk wanted was a little vacation and a chance to see their families again, some respite from the seemingly endless battles. What they found instead was a planet at war with the Galra, and a planet that considered Shiro humanity's enemy. How did a planned vacation go so wrong?

* Recommended by nebroadwe
* ''Status'': Complete
* ''Synopsis'': While the Castle of Lions is under repair after the events of "Crystal Venom" (S1), the Paladins split up to undertake two missions: Pidge and Keith to hack into a heavily-guarded Galra database, and Shiro, Lance and Hunk to steal some crystals from another Galra facility for the Castle's engines. But no plan survives first contact with the enemy ... or even with friends ...
* ''Comments'': It's a four-episode mini-arc with a two-part finale! All four authors are standout individual talents, but they display an extra level of mastery by weaving their tales together into a coherent and exciting whole. The alien OCs are as inventively imagined as the canon characters; the jeopardy sequences have great tension. If you want more of what makes this series so much fun to watch, you can't go wrong here.

* Recommended by nebroadwe
* One of the best, if not the best, genficcers working in this fandom. Velkyn Karma has the complete package: solid plots, compelling characterizations, and a fluid style. They are equally at home with episode-style action-adventure stories, like [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/10027004 In My Sights]], and character pieces, like [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/10044227 What's In a Name?]]. They can also pull off some stellar Hitchcockian horror — the kind that makes your mind rather than your skin crawl, as in [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/10019435 Pillar In the Dark]] or [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/10059878 Phantasmagoria]]. Also on [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/1331586/Velkyn-Karma FF.net]], but fewer of their Voltron 'fics are available there.

* Recommended by nebroadwe
* ''Crossover With'': [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon How to Train Your Dragon]] (film)
* ''Status'': Complete
* ''Synopsis'': The Galra tribe has been spreading like a plague across the archipelago, leaving destruction in their wake. Vikings alone can't stop them — but perhaps Viking and dragon together can. After over a century of warring between them, perhaps it's time for the age of riders to return.
* ''Comments'': This story places the characters of "Voltron" in the setting of "How to Train Your Dragon" with excellent results, reimagining the Lions as dragons and translating the Paladins' backstories, talents, tech and aims into Viking-age terms. Velkyn Karma also knows their way around an action sequence — the battles are edge-of-your-chair stuff, clearly laid out and compelling.

* Recommended by nebroadwe
* ''Status'': Complete
* ''Synopsis'': Shiro thinks that he's just tired, but as battle and training drain him of more than physical strength, the other Paladins become convinced that something more insidious is at work.
* ''Comments'': This one starts slowly, but once the nature of Shiro's "illness" is revealed, the drama never lets up. If you're a fan of [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind Battles in the Center of the Mind]], this is your 'fic. It's also both a fantastic team-as-family piece in which everyone gets a moment in the limelight and a terrifying take on the idea that Shiro's Galra arm was meant to control him rather than empower him. Well-written, excellently characterized, and truly creepy.

* Recommended by ilovehirohamada
* ''Status'': Ongoing series
* ''Synopsis'': The Paladins of Voltron have been lost. Allura and Coran will stop at nothing to get them back. But Haggar has other plans. (In this fic, Keith is confirmed to be part-Galra. This fact will feature in other stories by this author). Set immediately after S1 finale. First in the 'Lost Paladins' series.

* ''Status'': Complete
* ''Synopsis'': They were not ready. Caught by surprise when a Galra team infiltrates the Castle of Lions during a supply run, Shiro and Pidge must fight together to save Allura, Coran, and the other paladins. But Shiro's mind is working against him, and Pidge can't produce miracles.
* ''Comments'': This story feels like a real episode from the series, everyone is in-character, there is good flow of the action parts and the perfect amount of suspense to keep things interesting. Also if you are a fan of the friendship between Shiro and Pidge you probably would like this fic.
