#keith listening to hunk and romelle sing 'my boyfriend is a pilot': huh. I wonder who that's about

[discordiansamba]

Keith dropped out of the flight academy around the same time as a big placement test, which means the staff had to select someone else to take it in his place.

They picked Lance instead, who was not ready for it and wiped out pretty catastrophically. Feeling that he blew his big chance, he proceeded to burn out and ended up as a simple cargo pilot.

(He blames Keith for this.)

(But don't worry. He'll get his big moment at some point.)

Keith does not remember Lance at all, but Lance sure remembers him! What do you *mean* he's best friends with only his favorite musical duo in the whole galaxy? That doesn't seem fair!

can't do a Macross-inspired AU without thinking about this song specifically. go get seikan hikou stuck in your head.

you also have to think about this song as well.

Despite being the people they're in charge of escorting, the Atlas crew keep finding Hunk and Romelle in their kitchen, making them food. They also find Hunk hanging around engineering, like, all the time whenever he and Romelle aren't practicing.

Keith isn't a member of the Blade of Marmora but Krolia has been training him ever since he could hold a knife.

Yes, the Atlas can still transform into a giant robot. Of course it can.

In fact, so can the MFE fighters and Keith's personal fighter. It's that kind of AU.

me, minding my own business:

my brain: idol duo Hunk and Romelle. and Keith is their bodyguard.

me: sure I'll rotate that for the rest of the evening
