You keep what you kill Pt.2
I know these comics are super random, but... ever since drawing dark!verse and riddick!au’s ugly love child here I couldn’t stop thinking about this AU.
So, here are some of my HCs (I know some of you already had some ideas of their own, but I just wanted to throw in some more angsty shit into the pot :D)
After killing Lotor Keith became the new Emperor (following the “you keep what you kill”-rule Galran society is built on in this AU). The original plan was to dissolve the Empire
however that plan failed when Keith realized that there was something wrong with Shiro. (At this point it’s still unclear whether Shiro’s a clone, a sleeper agent or finally broke under the stress and pressure of infiltrating the Empire and fighting their last battle against Lotor... you decide :))
Shiro fell back into the mindset of the Champion, who is loyal to the Galra Empire and its Emperor, keeping Keith from announcing the end of the tyranny.
In order to buy some time and maybe find a way to get his Shiro back, Keith takes his place as the Emperor for now. That makes him and Shiro the enemies of the Altean Coalition as well as team Voltron, their friends and only family. (oh I’m so gonna draw a heartwrenching comic about this... You’re so gonna hate me guys.)
