In the aftermath of the Fall, the honorless realizes what her sister meant. Caught in a silent, seemingly endless war against the traitor and the madwoman, she searches for a miracle.
The marthuzitok comet that comes to be known as the Voltron Comet crashes into Daibazaal, creating a portal through another universe and changing the course of history in this one forever.
Apocalypse 1992 is The Fall, detailed in Through Apocalypse Skies, while the other two are background that weave through both The Fall and everything else
The Lions of Voltron are scattered across the universe in a desperate attempt to keep them away from Zarkon and the Empire of the Stars. The Paladins fall one by one protecting them, leaving them dormant, sleeping, waiting.
The Truth Beneath the Rose is a bit of a background fic, but also a singular moment at the very end of Through Apocalypse Skies. It is from the perspective of our last (and first) Blade
Raise Your Banner is guerrilla tactics used by the Last Blade of Marmora to gather together data and like-minded allies against the Empire
Silver Moonlight is both the Last Blade of Marmora's thoughts on the team's efforts, and the desperate search for the one thing that can defeat the Empire of the Stars
Endless War, Holy Ground and I'd Rather Burn (the fic named Holy Ground for the moment) are the finale of the Blade of Marmora's origin
Empty Eyes is the only hint as to the final fate of the Last Blade of Marmora
Dark Matter: In one universe, five Humans from Earth find a sentient magical spaceship Lion. In another, that Lion never makes it to Earth. In a third, they dont make it off. And in this one, they just might save all the universes. Dystopian Fiction: Earth: an insignificant little blue-green planet. And yet, between eco-terrorists and the Empire of the Stars closing in, the Sol Federation Galaxy Garrison is slowly realizing how dystopian fiction becomes reality.
You Keep What You Kill is another 'background' song. It summarizes the experiences of the universe under the Empire of the Stars before Voltron shows back up.
The most devastating war in human history broke out from a combination of resource scarcity and religious fundamentalism. It ended with the dropping of a dozen nukes on the same city. In the aftermath, the Sol Federation was created to make sure that nothing of its scale ever happened again.
The Seven Sisters is a 'background' song, about Keith's relationship with his birth parents after his dad's death. (I primarily associate it with him post-A Former Shade of Blue, pre-meeting Shiro, but it pops back up after he discovers he's part alien and comes to fruition in MGHM)
The Human Condition is the Éskhayklos manifesto. A warning of the end times. The condemnation of the parasites. The reveal of the only cure. The final extinction cycle.
The Eskhayklos take the plunge straight into terrorism at Cascade's order.
Starlight is one of the 'background' songs, this one about Shiro's feelings and relationship with Adam when he's stuck in space.
The Starchaser's semi-permanent home of Karuta is attacked before the Blade can launch the Anomaly, sending the Dark Whispers on something a little more than a prison ship run.
Abyss is the experiences of the Lions of Voltron as they wake up to new Paladins, detailed in Awakenings
Who Will Save You Know in the first part (First Contact) is the Paladins' first attempt to communicate to Earth that they are still alive.
Team Voltron battle Zarkon and the Empire. They defeat Zarkon, leaving him in a quintessence coma on his destroyed worldship, but at a large cost: Shiro is nowhere to be found.
The End of the Beginning (detailed in the story of the same name) is the events directly after the Battle of the Sarnan Nebula, culminating in The Lion Switch [This is also part 2 of the Closure fics]
A Simple Plan (of the fic of the same name) is about Voltron's struggles to keep their head afloat without a Black Paladin who actually feels up to the position, along with their fights with Lotor during that time.
With Shiro back, Keith resolves what should happen with six Paladins and five Lions.
The Voltron Coalition successfully gains control of almost a third of the known universe by breaking the military line around Naxzela. Lotor saves Voltron itself from certain death by attacking Haggar's flagship. Matt Holt convinces Kolivan to make a few changes in the Blade.
Memories of a Girl I Haven't Met is (with the fic of the same name) about the Dark Whispers' mission to the Baaria Shipyards and the sharp turn it takes.
After losing contact with the Dark Whispers, Kolivan asks Team Voltron to investigate their last known location: Kusyke, a scientific base at the edge of the Quantum Abyss. They then proceed to run into the Whispers as they're attempting to not release the superweapon held in the place, and, well, guess what happens next. Oh yeah, and the Paladins discover that not only is Keith's mom alive, but she also has a mullet.
TRIALS, Dark on Me, String Theory and I am the One together are the fic String Theory, where things go to Hela in a handbasket
House on Fire is all the problems both the Coalition and Team Voltron run into in the aftermath of String Theory
The framing story for Through Apocalypse Skies is in the aftermath of String Theory
Belgrade (the fic Let Me Be the Fool) is nominally about the Battle of the Belgrade system. Really, it's about everyone's favorite idiots finally doing something about their mutual pining
Here to Save You (somewhat hilariously, the actual name of the fic, Rescue Ride, is a completely different Cyhra song) is the Mission to Stain, a sorely needed boon for the Coalition in the aftermath of String Theory
Who Will Save You Know in the second part (titular, this time) is Sam Holt landing on Earth, and the Garrison's attempts to be that savior
Adam, Veronica, Sam, and Colleen tell the world what SFGG has been hiding from them all
Iron is about another rescue, this time of a high-profile Altean prisoner. And then, well, Marzin makes an appearance. [This is also probably part three of the Closure fics]
The three remaining Marmorait pose a challenge on behalf of the Voltron Coalition
Monarch, Birthright, and Firewall are the Battle of Feyiv, in the story Birthright
Here Comes the Reign isn't quite a background song, as it weaves in and out of other fics, discussing the eventual rise of Haggar's faction to supremacy in the aftermath of Birthright
Codebreaker is mostly a background song, but it also refers to ESAU's realization of the Eskhayklos's final target.
Cross the Line is the Eskhyklos, well, crossing the line.
The Day the Earth Collapsed is exactly what it says on the tin
Dystopian Fiction (in conjunction with World on Fire, by the end) is SFGG's attempts to brave the Siege and save who they can
Supersonic is the descent of 'peace talks' into the Battle of Ulrion
On a diplomatic mission gone wrong, the Red and Blue Paladins of Voltron uncover a literally buried government conspiracy, a rebel cell, and nearly die. A normal day's work for the two of them. But they’ve really gotta stop having relationship milestones in the middle of a warzone.
Closure is placed at the fourth of its associated fics: Tonight We Dance.
Soulbound (fic is the same name rn) is about the Mission to Thoxae and just who exactly Team Voltron and the Whispers that accompany them run into
The lasts of the Vessels wakes
My Darkest Hour and Faster Than Light (together probably one of the lines about dying suns they both have) are sort-of revenge for Soulbound, which is The Fall of Morakiluide, and leads directly (and I mean DIRECTLY) into....
Cosmic Vertigo and Other Worlds Than These (together, Cosmic Vertigo) are the second of two revelations in what, exactly, is REDACTED
Godhunter is mostly a 'background' song, detailing the hunt for Haggar after her disappearance post OWTD, along with her seconds Marzin and Galraasa
Trophy Hunter, Ember, and Redemption are all about The Mission to Iko, probably named (Witches to Ember as They) Burn
The Reckoning, This is A Call, World on Fire, The Wind that Shapes the Land, and Louder Than Words are all parts of the same whole (The Reckoning is the name for the majority) that culminate in one last battle.
Carry Me Home is the fic of the same name about Shiro building a life free from war
Problem elements in the Coalition are making themselves known while the fabric of spacetime is slowly unraveling. The solution may mean undoing a mistake woven into the very filaments of the universe.
Prognosis (might be the name of the fic? I've yet to figure out the specifics of when this stuff is actually figured out by Team Voltron) is the third revelation on what, exactly, is REDACTED
The Paladins get stuck in a groundhog day situation. Hilarity ensues. (But there is, of course, something else going on beyond the scenes...)
The Art of War is the fic For Greater Tomorrow, where the Sol Federation continues not having a good time, and the Paladins are barely in time to stop it getting worse
Centigrade, The Future is Now and A Theater of Dimensions are. Well.
