Ok, everyone here is adorable XD Wait... Does that mean... Their kids are half kinds?

it's so cute, but also I'm going to cry D:

Love it in a heartbreaking type way. Would be fun to see Keith somehow have a fox child that looked like Laura, which would also help irradiate the child bearing issues with Natani.

Like the "Therie & Daniels" and "Roselyn & Rose" (which I affectionately refer to as "Rose Red Rain") MiniKinds, here we have "Laura & Keith" MiniKinds in another what-if-scenario. Love it! Though personally, I would have preferred it if the daughter was the one in the Basitin cape, while the son seemed more Keidran.
DarthKeidran
Usually each Saturday.

Like discovering Natani’s missing some “junk”, and Alaric teasing him half to death.
DarthKeidran
Technically we don’t know for sure if Ephemural made it possible for all cross-species relations or not. As far as the context and info I have goes, Ephemural (Neutrality), being the “god/dess” over the Keidran, had selected Flora as the savior of the Keidran race, the one who would defeat Trace Legacy, who was the champion of the mask over the humans, Chaos. Knowing that chaos would continue to seek the keidran’s destruction, and since their bond was strong enough to defeat her, she allowed the pregnancy to occur, so that even if Trace relapsed, their child would survive, and, bearing Keidran blood, can allow the Keidran reborn even should the rest be destroyed. In my head-canon, yes, all Humans and Keidran, and hopefully Basitin and Keidran, can have children.

Keith misses out on so many sexy bath house shenanigans in this timeline.
DarthKeidran
They’ve got several traits from our sweet little vixen here.
DarthKeidran
Probs. Given that if my symbiosis theory doesn’t hold water she would pass far before Keith or their kids.
DarthKeidran
The only ones that won’t be allowed would be things that are presently or might be possible in the comic. Examples of children who can’t be sketched include any Human/Tiger hybrid (because Trace and Flora’s), Keith and Natani having a child (It can happen, but I didn’t say it will), Raine & Sythe’s (or red’s), Maren & Sythe (or red’s). Ones that should be allowed include any Non-Canon or impossible pairings, like Sythe and Fem-Red (fur or no), Evals and Fem-Mike, Kathrin and Eric, or Kathrin and Zen.

This is painful but beautiful at the same time😢😖😭

I only just saw this...YES!!!!!!! Oh thank you Tom I was having a bad day and you made me feel so much better
ToxxyFoxxy
*Continuously slams head into wall saying* "Why, why, why..." after a couple hours of slamming someone taps him on the shoulder and asks "Are you alrigh-" is interrupted by "WHY DOESN'T THIS EXIST"
that indeed happened
me 2
I am going on a three week holiday, if the next comic page doesn't come out tomorrow, I'll have not 2, but THREE PAGES of wonderful comics waiting for me. YAY. edit: (assuming that the average interval between page is about 10 days.)
AussieBartender
I will be very disappointed in all of you if this isn't voted in to be coloured.
Mingun
It would be nice if Tom make a comic about the first meet between Keith and Laura. Like “The Dragon Masquerade” do, only involving Keith and Laura. With Laura sister's playing as main villain :)
And we don't know if they have their feet covered, so we can presume they are not, and that's inappropriate too
And now I'm sad again.
CrRAR
...and Natani snuggled him up EXTRA close with dat assassin grip and put an end to all that pesky screaming.
Panther
Poor Laura ............. Trace thinks to Saria , time to time . But Keith has already forgotten his fiancee , it seems X_X
Steve Gloria
I was about to say that lol both of em look just like him
Deleted account
This needs to be marked as inappropriate cuz it shows that they had kids and that means they had sex and sex is inappropriate and needs to be hidden on Patreon.
Steve Gloria
I'm trying to figure out how the fuck this is possible until I remember Ephemeral broke the laws of nature. Gee thank god Tom included that line in the comic or else 90% of these side ships would NEVER work out as well as they look.
DNMZ
It's too sweet... I can't take it !!! Hearth overloading

Keidran age more similarly to animals than humans. Shorter lifespans, faster maturity, and they often have behavioral and biological characteristics that make them seem more animalistic than Basitins. Even though Basitins have fur and animal like ears, that is nearly the only similarity to animals they share. They age like humans, but that isn't to say they are simply humans with fur. They have a natural resistance to poison, live by a warrior type mentality, and are biologically incapable of using magic. Or at least they should be. It messes with their heads in a way that leaves them pretty much witless after long term exposure. I hope this answer is sufficient.
Sterling Rodd
What's the difference between Keidran and Basitins in the first place? I've never quite grasped the biological distinction, if there is one... Anybody?
Awwwww
ah.....
BobMcBurger
and the two children are basitin even though they were born from a mix species
BearFlipsTable
lmao was laura having the anime death hair intentional? i reckon so XD
Reseen Dalls
A beautiful dream. And a "if" who haunted Keith and Laura like a nightmare for years.
Randall Hendren
Some alternate universes seem much more pleasant than others, great image.
I would love to see this coloured. Probably ain't happening tho.
Dabyatta
I really like the trend of posting characters potential kids.
Dabyatta
I guess Keith grew out of looking cute. Not completely though, he'll always be adorable. Just like the kids!
Huh.... the seed is strong.

Laura no! Take your hair down before it's too late!!!

Awwwww! 8D 💕

The boy looks like his father but he has his mother's eyes.
Markius Fox
Now, could we have an alternate universe where Keith and Alaric? >///>
SilverKnights
My only question is how would the life spans work you know. Bastians live about as long as humans and keidrians live to be around 20ish.
SemiDemiGod
No. My shipping is conflicted!
DarthKeidran
Unfortunately not canon. But we can hope that, if not the way they are now (which I see as the most likely plausibility), with Natani and Keith being Genderbent (Maletani and FemKeith) we can see a hybrid.
frank dailey
This need to be colored.
frank dailey
I would guess they would live about the equivalent of half of their species lifespan added together via Fantasy hybrid lifespan logic.
SCD
Then Keith woke up and he realized it just a dream and screamed at the top of his lungs.
Gallactigher
THIS IS TOO FUCKING PRECIOUS HELP. Also: by the old canon wouldnt Keith not onlynoutlive Laura but also his children? How fucking depressing.
Kaiyashu
What a beautiful picture! I love the clean line work and the expressions on everyone! It's nice to see this alternate universe take on what could have been had Keith and Laura stayed together. I always did like her design. Hopefully in the future we can get more AU sketches or glimpses of things to come, it's always such a joy to see new artwork.

Supreme Leader Porg
Well I believe Kat is a mix between a Feline keidran and something else ( or something like that) and it’s the reason she is unable to have kids.
Supreme Leader Porg
I think so
DarthKeidran
“Don’t be sad. Get Glad!”
Disaster
YES
Ordithus
I adore this, so much <3 <br>The Basitin tail with fox markings is super cute! I also like what Laura's done with her hair.
FurrySunny
So Keidran and Basitin can reproduce together. They seem to be a happy Family. The kids got the ears from the father. But the smile definitifely is from the mother.
Kaija
cute .w.
Kirien Fost
Love how feisty their daughter looks here! Complete tomboy! :3
AngelandNoireDiaries
That could be interesting . One "what if" comic
Fennex
A world where nothing bad happened between Keith and Laura, and Keith has a reason to smile
Facade7733
Hey Tom im really curious now if your open to answering this question. As far as crossbreeding and so on what species in the twokinds universe can actually have offspring together?. And can all keidran regardless of the subtypes they are as we know there are a bunch also have offspring together resulting in very mixed children? canonically.
Wait... would that make their children the first keidran-basitin hybrid? Well recorded at least
TrichterNET
i have been infected with the sad's.
Thomas Fischbach
Yes indeed! I did have that drawing in mind when I sketched this one. I'd consider it essentially a sequel.
CrRAR
Reminds me of this timeline... <i>PLUS KIDS!</i> :D (<i>so adorable!</i>) <a href="https://www.deviantart.com/twokinds/art/It-Could-Have-Been-129780642" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.deviantart.com/twokinds/art/It-Could-Have-Been-129780642</a>
DarthKeidran
Theoretically either as long as a human, or somewhere midway. What I hope is the former. The reason… Fetuses have a symbiotic biology with the mother. For example if the mother suffers an injury, the fetus can adjust in a way that it provides the mother with cells that can help make repairs. This means that a mother can, and likely does, have cells from their children in their body, years down the road, if not for the remainder of their lives. My Head-Canon is that a Human/Basitin and Keidran Hybrid fetus might be able to rewire the aging process for the mother, extending her life. Good news for female Keidran in a relationship with a Human or Basitin, she lives longer, Bad news for the male Keidran, and females not in said relationship, no such symbiosis. But, if Legacy Life Extension Inc.® (in this AU) does some research involving the Mothers of Hybrid Lovechildren, I’m sure that they can discover the life extending agent and produce a hormone or other therapy to extend the life of all Keidran.
DarthKeidran
Welp, I’ll go find the crash cart and prime the AED. Don’t need you staying dead.
DarthKeidran
I bet it would be a decent amount different because foxes and wolves don’t look too similar. Also, unfortunately its a potential spoiler, because we never know if Natani will eventually want pups with Keith.
DarthKeidran
I thought you said “These <b>Kits</b> are adorable.” Which is funny because Fox and Rabbit (which the Basitin are slightly based on) babies are called Kits.
DarthKeidran
Their daughter certainly looks rambunctious.
DarthKeidran
<b>STORY-COMMENT™</b> Laura: <“Keith. Our kids are rather rambunctious.”> Keith: <“Yes Laura. With how Juliet roughhouses with Mickel it wouldn’t surprise me if she grows up to be our little warrior princess.”> Laura: <“Mickel doesn’t really fight back though. In fact he usually tries stopping it. I wonder if he’ll help unite our peoples when he grows up.”> Keith: *Hugs Laura, lovingly rubbing her belly* <“I guess we’ll find out eventually.”> *Kisses Laura on the head* Meanwhile, across the sea… Natani: {“Albion! Where’d our pup go! I can’t find her anywhere!”} Albion: {“Yes Natani! She’s gone over to tussle with Zen and Lillith’s daughter.”} Natani: {“That girl stresses me out.”} Albion: *Walks over to Natani and starts Rubbing her shoulders* {“At least, my King, she can’t just cross the ocean on some wild adventure with Lady Saria and Trace.”} Natani: *Making “Funny Noises”* {“Don’t…”} *Pants* {“…encourage her.”} Meanwhile, at the Vaughan Residence. Kathrin: “Roderick! Where’s my boy!?” Roderick: “Mrs. Vaughan, I am unaware of his present whereabouts” Kathrin: “Eric! Harold’s Up To No Good Again!” Eric (Who tinkers with things in this AU): *Runs into the room with an odd piece of equipment on his head.* “It’s a good thing I made this special helmet then! It can show where residual heat was so I can follow his trail.” Roderick: Ow! Mr. and Mrs. Vaughan, I believe I have found him.” *Moves arm forward, with the child Nomming on his sleeve.* “A habit I believe he picked up from the RiftWall East’s Tavernkeeper’s Daughter.” Eric: “Aaw! I didn’t get to test my invention.” Kathrin: “You want to hang out with that Maeve Girl don’t you?” Harold: *Nods* Kathrin: “Up to another trip to Edinmire Eric?” Eric: “I’ll see if I can get a Kruzin™ Lined up with Capt. Evals. Mike’s on his honeymoon right now. Apparently he fell in love with a dragoness.” Yes. I mean for this story comment to combine the “Raine Rose” AU, “Natani & Zen Adelaide” AU, and This “Laura &Keith Keiser” AU as one.
The Sexy Beast
Very cool. ❤️

Why not I mean...

Guys expect one with Natani....

Oh my god this is the cutest thing ever

Seems to be 2 very different ends of the gene pool
ArcadeDragon
Oh my God the kids are adorable
This is so precious omg
noxamillion
Would this alternate universe be the one where Keith and Laura never had the conflicts that separated them from getting married and they stayed together since?
VinSomnia
I wonder what Keith and Nat's kid's would look like.. maybe not as different, just less foxy.
Fennex
Fuck ;-;
Larnu
Keith looks like a very proud Father! :) I wonder how long a Basitin/Keidren lives for; considering the life span difference.
TheFDdriver
Keith looks very happy
FoxDren
We need names for the kids. I'd go with Alice and James because they seem to be the kind to go for 'normal' names
Thunderclap421
Hey guys, it's a miracle! I came back to...............Yep. dead again. TTTTTTTHANKS. =3
WereKeidran
The girl looks kinda like Maddie
Natani Wolf
Wow. This is adorable xD
FoxDren
Omg, that's adorable
So precious

So this is what fox-basitin hybrids look like. Pretty cute.
Colt-Lasky
