– I was re-reading HaaH and when I got to the end of chapter eight I had a blast messing with ideas of how the kiddos ending up piled in Keith’s room while he was healing, especially with how hard fought Dulsara’s semi-trust has been. As the author, I was wondering if you had any thoughts tucked away on that unseen time. Hope you’re able to get some good rest in between grading, between this and your work you’ve earned all the naps in the world ^^

Ha ha, yes, I did walk through what would have happened in that time, although it’s not super complicated…All of the children retreated immediately to their original room and avoided any and all direct contact with the other paladins. It was basically a big step back in terms of their willingness to interact with Team …

I think Home and a Half attracts people who enjoy dissecting and over-analyzing things (me being one of them) if the asks you receive are anything to go by. Reading through your world building and in-depth character analyses never fails to make my day, even if I’ve read them twenty times before. They’re just that good! Would you mind if I come up with and send a list of world building questions?

“Would I mind?” Anon asks. Would I mind? Of course I would be overjoyed to have a list of world-building questions to answer!The fact that anyone is interested enough in the story and its setting to have questions and take the time to come ask me is still one of those things I barely know …

Hi, I just finish Home and a Half ( it awesome by the way) and the bio for Xerci. The way you describe Xerci it sounds like him and Lance are close , so I need to know do they have epic spa days together ? PS : The face that you are an English professor has me horribly paranoid about my grammar. So sorry about my grammar.

I don’t want to spoil too much, but since I think most of this pertains to stuff that would come after the story ends–yes, Lance and Xerci become very close and bond over many similarities shared between them. Although sometimes they’re almost too similar, to the point where they see through each other’s fronts and …

What is Galra hygiene like? Are the kids’ needs being met in this department?

I love fun asks like this~! Worldbuilding is my fav; maybe I should just skip plot and just write a history textbook for the Galra Empire as my fanfic instead. XDIn any case, Galra are fastidious creatures who run tight ships–uncleaniness or slovenliness is not tolerated anywhere in the Empire. As a matter of principle …

Hi! So I just had a random thought—does Keith in HAAH remember when his birthday is? Idk why this popped in my head, but I realized with the dicey memories and being raised by scientists probs weren’t big on bdays(?) it was a possibility that he forgot. Feel free to ignore if spoilers, but tbh thinking about Keith’s childhood makes me wanna cry. Especially the “all the stars” line, I feel like that’s one of those lines that’s gonna stick with me for awhile bc its so good and so heartbreaking❤️❤️

I had an answer to this written months ago and lost it before I could finish writing the answer; I’m so sorry anon!In any case, this is an interesting ask because you’re correct: Keith does not remember his actual birthday–in fact, he never knew what it was in the first place!In HaaH’s universe, the Galra …

Also, you talked about Keith having a disassociation from his body that was exacerbated due to the Garrison, and I was curious if that also has anything to do with Keith being in the ‘wrong’ body? Based on some of his descriptions, it seems like his human form is the ‘disguise’ (idk how else to word that 😂) feel free to totally ignore if it’s spoilers and thanks for sharing your wonderful story and have a nice day!!! ❤️ (2/2)

This is getting into spoiler territory, so I’ll keep the answer super short and let you make of it what you will: Keith’s current human form is not the form he was born with. The impact this has on him–and the impact it might have on the story’s plot–is going to stay my secret… for …

Hi! So I have a couple questions but first of all—I love Home and a Half so much! It’s honestly one of, if not my fav Voltron fics, I read it all the way back in December and I still can’t stop thinking about it 😂❤️ so me being me and needing to know every detail possible, I read through some of your answers on ao3 and you mentioned that Hunk’s memories are the rarest to experience in the bond, and only he knows why so I was wondering if that’s gonna come up in the fic at all? (1/2)

I’m so glad to hear you’re enjoying the story, and I’m really sorry about the long wait!A question that’s not about Keith, oh my god, what do I do–I’m actually super glad someone asked about this. I’m not sure it’s going to come up in the fic, just because I love Hunk to bits and …

I’ve been rereading haah, and I just love this line during Keith’s name flashback: “It’s lucid dreaming; he knew it wasn’t real, not anymore…” I think it reflects how results oriented he is, like the past isn’t real if it doesn’t aid him in any easily understandable way. How do you juggle his moments of self awareness (like putting lances comment about ‘not all galra’ in a folder) with his unwillingness to self-reflect, esp in 1st person? Or do you think I’m mischaracterizing?

It’s been so long I genuinely can’t remember if I answered this ask or not–in either case I apologize. If I haven’t answered it, I’m so sorry I made you wait, and if I have… I apologize in advance if my answer now doesn’t match my answer in the past! It’s only been like a …
