    Summary

    Here at the Life and Hearts facility, we take in patients whose minds and souls have been severely damaged by unparallel forces in the universe. It is the job of our dedicated staff to decide the best care and treatment for them, so they are emotionally supported and can be eventually released back into the world.
    We care.

    Maybe Pearl cared too much. It wasn't as if Gem could even remember.
    Gem couldn't remember her own name, sometimes.
    She couldn't remember the damage she had done. None of them could.

    Maybe that was for the best.

    Summary

    A Life Series inspired collection of related fics, the universe premise of which is essentially "what if Life Series characters were all powerful individuals with gangs or mafia-like groups who liked to play poker in their spare time and barter their lives?". An unnecessary amount of world-building, angst, drama, and polyamory just for the fun of it! Set in a modern magical universe.

    Arranged chronologically with the universe's timeline.

    Summary

    “Aw,” the druid coos, “So much fire. So much rage in that trembling heart of yours. It’d be a shame if I simply quashed it, wouldn’t it?”
    Keith stares straight at the druid. He bores his eyes into the shine of its face and looks his reflection dead in the eye. “Fuck—you.”
    The druid tips its head all the way back till its face is far out of sight and it laughs. It shrills and twitches and ticks and shakes. “So much fire!” It shrieks. “So much fire and it’s—”
    The druid reaches forward and wraps its long fingers around Keith’s face. They’re like icicles searing his skin with blinding cold. It might’ve drawn blood. He doesn’t know.
    “—all gone.” The druid faces him again. “All gone.”
    Keith shivers under the touch. He doesn’t understand. “What?”

    -

    A Blade mission goes astray when Keith has an unfortunate run-in with a druid. He falls sick soon after, and is handed into Voltron’s care until he recovers. While he’s there, he contemplates his place in the universe, the depth of his illness and its mysterious connection to Lance, and why he’s not getting better.
