My Second Contribution To The Binary Stars Zine.

my second contribution to the binary stars zine.

sadly the fic, WHICH IS RLY GOOD, never got posted [long story, not mine to tell ;u;] but this was a telepath!keith/blind!shiro AU. basically keith is a captured BoM, and is sent to the arena in chains to be executed by a beast, but then a blind galra is thrown in to the arena was well, with a weapon. keith is able to convince him they can work together and using his telepathic link, shiro is able to defeat the beast.

afterward, they are thrown together more often in the arena and over time keith learns shiro is actually a human who has been experimented on and altered heavily. he also ends up teaching him about galra culture and how to navigate some of the wierd shit galra go thru [since shiro is experiencing a lot of galra instincts lol].

meanwhile the BoM are working on freeing keith, but keith will not leave without shiro :')

so in this scene, we have keith tracing coordinates on shiro's back, in hopes that he will be able to use them to escape. i do hope viper posts this fic one day but if not, just know it was rly good and liek the perfect slowburn.

extras under the cut!

so as i keep saying this was a rly good fic. i had like 5 diff scenes i rly wanted to draw but i realized i was NOT going to be able to fit any of them into only 3 pages lol… that didn't stop me from TRYING more than once tho…

attempt #1, 3 pics:

this scene is them bathing [PLATONICALLY] after a round in the arena. keith is lamenting about shiro geting hurt due to keith's reckless fighitng style leaking into shiro thru the mind meld, and thinks about how shiro still moves like he has his human body too, which shiro picks up on thanks to the mind link [which is something of a habit at this point lol]. shiro is angsting about the fact he actually dosen't know the extent of what has been done to him thanks to the injury that blinded him, and after asking to see how he looked as a human, keith ends up reassuring him that he's still a cutie lol.

the page with the dialogue only is when i realized there was no way i was fitting that scene into 3 pages lol.

attempt #2:

this scene is basically near the start to the fic. keith is brought in to the arena and chained to a pylon. he hears a bunch of rly loud monster noises and pounding at the door across the arena and is like, wow i am actually fucked 8D then shiro is brought in and thrown to the ground, along with a weapon. keith watches him try to feel around for the weapon and realizes he's blind, then calls out to him. shiro immediately goes into attack mode but keith is able to convince him that they can be allies, and briefly explains he's a telepath before melding their minds so that shiro can see through his eyes, and after a bit of clumsiness they are able to beat the beast this way :D

my designs for the boys. i have unclothed versions too that show off all their markings and scars but i feel like that would get the post flagged so these will have to do lol. i did post them on twitter tho, if you wanna bother looking there. also yes, this design is rly similar to the other contribution i did for this zine, which is because i rly like the idea of keith having these specific markings LOL. this is p much my official go to glara!keith design.

just two lil chibi guys

i actually finished this with shading, but for the life of me cannot find it, so old phone pic it is. this is post-fic, after shiro joins the bom. [so uh not so shocking spoiler, they both survive and escape lol]

i know nothing about tcg

It's Keith's birthday and he's spending it with his family!! 🎉🎉🎉

Platonic Kallura

You know it’s bad when everyone thinks you’re dating

It started with just like Keith making sure she could fight hand-to-hand

But then they just started hanging out outside of the training room-

Making each other laugh at the most inopportune moments,

Keith accusing Allura of cheating at arm wrestling by using her chameleon ability to make her arms t h i c c

“What do you mean you don’t know? You’re human!” “Just because I’m human doesn’t mean I know what the hell Lance is talking about!”

Allura kissing Keith on the cheek when she gets particularly emotional

Neither can back down from a challenge, so like chaotic daring each other and then

They’re the same size, so naturally Allura has systematically stolen about 2/3 of his jackets

Allura showing Keith how to tie his hair in a bun

Allura giving Keith shit for liking sweet tea, “Your sugar leaf water is ready-“

Allura gives the pep talks.

When Allura gets angry, Keith lets her rant until she’s feeling kinda better. Then, he promises to kill anyone who was rude to her

In any modern AU, Keith would absolutely buy her pads and chocolate. Though he is the “what size is your vagina” variant

Allura feels bad that she stole every single one of his sweaters so she tries to make him a new one “If you don’t like it, you can throw it away” “It’s beautiful and it’s mine, back off-“

Pidge managed to get some old Earth movies, so like Keith and Allura, both never having seen the original Cinderella watched it for movie night- “Just quiznacking kick her buttocks!!”

Allura staying up all night in Coalition meetings, and falling asleep in her chair, Keith carrying her bridal style off to her room

just… Platonic Kallura-

Bonus: Lance being all jealous and Keith being like: im too gay to date a girl-

[Cyno sq2 spoilers ahead] A comic about Cyno and Haitham discussing what Cyno learned of himself in the Temple of Silence I originally started this after we met Cyno in Mondstadt for windblume LAST YEAR. The "he adopted me, educated me" line is a direct quote from when we meet Cyno and Lisa in the library during that event. Hope you enjoy!
