Here we go children! Be ready to read in which I waste my time (in an extremely productive way) watching and pausing episodes over and over again all while Audio Description is on for a little help. I figured that there simply weren't enough 'Watching The Show' in the Voltron fandom and decided to take upon myself the project of making a chapter for every episode. Even future ones that have yet to come out yet.
Thank you for having found this and even clicking! You cannot imagine how much that already means to me.
Hope you'll enjoy! The first episode is almost ready to be put up for you all.

In all honesty, watching the Voltron Paladins and two Alteans land in a giant pile of people was amusing. To Mel anyways.
Okay, fine, she made them all land in a specific way.
Little Pidge was cradled protectively into Shiro's arms as Hunk's burly form crushed them, fatherly instincts kicking in with the teenager at least 10 years younger than him. His elbows dug into Allura's stomach right under his back. Keith and Lance's legs were tangled in such way that Mel wondered for a second if it was too uncomfortable. Blush adorned both the boys' cheeks, Coran unfortunately draped over both their forms and Hunk's feet resting on the Altean's back.
"Lance - get off!" Keith shouted, squirming and hands repeatedly pushing up against the chest crushing him. Hunk allowed himself to roll off everyone, Coran slipping off Lance head first, making Coran do a weird flip that would create a bump on his head.
With Hunk off of him, Shiro allowed Pidge get out of his restrain. Unfortunately for him, the petite girl literally stood on his chest and jumped off. She dusted off her clothes and adjusted her glasses previously smashing her face and nose.
Allura pushed Shiro's arms off her body, wiggling out of her position and standing. Shiro stood in turn, no one neither over nor under him. He gazed at Keith and Lance struggling to detangle from each other's legs. Finally taking pity on the two boys, he went over and helped them.
"So," Keith started as he could finally stand on his own two feet and blush fading, "will someone tell me where the quiznak we are?"
"It appears to be the Earth equivalent of what is a cinema," Coran stated.
"That is true, thank you Coran." Mel finally spoke up, the sound of her heels resonating in the room as she walked closer for them to notice her. The seven whirled around to look at where the feminine voice came from. A slight lisp underlined her tone and accent.
What was surprising though, was the feathered wings attached to her back.
"Who are you?" Shiro slowly asked, as if weary of startling her. Mel rolled her differently tinted brown eyes.
"Where are we?" Allura snapped. Space parents; so protective.
"Well, it is a bit like a space pocket," she answered, looking around the room. "An alternate universe of some sorts. Whichever you prefer, but we're in the middle of different worlds."
Hunk opened his mouth to say something, eyes wide as they flew around the room. Sadly for him, poofs of smoke started appearing in various parts of the giant room, revealing humans when it faded away. Some landed in little piles like themselves, some standing and staggering on their feet, and others appearing in various positions in the chairs themselves. A few were in their pyjamas.
"Just some company of people I am sure you want to see again," Mel said to dismiss any fear, a genuine light smile playing on her lips.
"What do you me - Marco? MARCO?!" Lance exclaimed.
"POLO!" a voice shouted out. At that, Lance went barging into the room in search of his family members. Shouldn't be too hard; they made up half the amount of people there.
A moment later, Pidge was hugging her dog right before her mother saw her, and Hunk was receiving slaps in the back as tears streamed down his face and a messy hug by a flour-covered mother. Allura and Coran looked around the room with fond smiles and eyes.
"I don't like all of this," Keith mumbled, sticking to Shiro's side for the moment that his three other teammates embraced people into hugs. Hunk even hugged some members of Lance's family as the Cuban boy introduced him. Shiro only chuckled at the boy's obvious dislike of all the affection.
"Shirogane. Kogane." Said Paladins immediately tensed up at Iverson's voice calling their names out and stepping in front of them. Allura and Coran looked at them in curiousness as Mel wore an annoyed yet resigned expression. A distrusting feeling was filling the atmosphere around them.
Shiro opened his mouth to say something when a petite feminine figure stood came in front of them and immediately slapped the man. It was so loud conversations stopped short and wide eyes looked on at the scene. Iverson was as impassive as ever but the angry red mark on his cheek and the look in his eyes gave everything away.
"Do you not dare speak to my hermano's friends and my future brother in law!" She shouted, sun kissed skin two shades darker than Lance's, black hair tumbling in waves all around her face, and light blue eyes a sharp contrast to the rest of her physique. "They went and came back from space and I know you well enough through Lance to know that they do not need to deal with your sh-"
"Veronica!" Lance shouted from the other side of the room as he tried to get out of Hunk's hold, "don't take the joy of I myself doing that by going all protective sister on me!"
Mel sighed; time to do something. Dude needs to be alive for this and she knew from family and friends that angry hispanics from anywhere could kill. Especially for family.
She unfurled her wings and allowed them to stay a little higher in the air; no amount of heels could compensate for her stature compared to the people in this room. The only ones actually shorter to her actual height would actually be Pidge and Lance's sister.
"Will you all pay attention here please!" She shouted through the room, throat instantly drying. Damn soft voices, she thought. "Please go sit in your assigned seats and sofas! I let you all hug and kiss each other but now you need to listen to me!"

"So you're telling me that the only reason we are here," Pidge started with a raised eyebrow, "is for us to watch our past, present, and... and future?"
"Yep, though I may have a few personal reasons," came Mel's easy response as a little arrow clicked on a profile called 'Meli' under 'Who's Watching'. Netflix, a few vintage cultured ones recognised. She had a laptop on her crossed legs in a white part of the sofa with what seemed to be an apple shaped symbol on the back and golden rose colour in general. From the right corner sat a black cat's lithe body. Ahh, the perks of writing yourself and being able to own things you could most likely never afford. "Mostly for my own personal amusement. You know, ships to sail, bonding moments to come, realisations for everyone. The usual."
Pidge looked over her shoulder, "How is everything you do on the big screen? There's no cables and it's live? You also didn't transfer the images to the big screen so how are we seeing what you're doing?"
Mel sent her an incredulous look, "you mean you guys don't have bluetooth? Years later than my time, what my timeline and world would consider the future?"
"Heard of that name before," Pidge nodded, "but I read it was abandoned years ago by an old company called 'Apple'."
"You mean they sold blue toothed apples? My, you Earthlings are truly bizarre creatures!" Coran exclaimed, a twinkle in his eyes and twirling his mustache.
"Bloody universes," is what Mel muttered before turning back to the little computer. On the giant screen, the mouse clicked on an image with two glowing Galran eyes. She flew off for a second and came back a second later without the computer.
"Take a seat children, Paladins and Alteans with me around your respectable colours. Alteans are the very light blue part."
A few pairs of eyes flickered at the many empty seats still around them.

Please keep in mind that this fic will mostly be for my free time and to take a break of life and other writings/fanfics. It also takes much of my time to add and rewrite from the scripts you can find online as they only contain what the characters say. Then, of course, is the issue where you have to write the characters themselves.
Make sure to review if you enjoyed and add this book to your library if you're willing to see how this will go!
