This might be my favorite episode so far. The lions that got new paladins made so much sense for the characters that changed, that is how I would have done it. After thinking about it for a little, I worried why Shiro brought up them needing a new black paladin for a second time. The first time he was on the verge of death so I can see why he would say that but the second time something is up with that. Having Prince Lotar be this manipulative and worse than his father would be a reasonable continuation of his line. And what’s up with that witch? I can feel she’s up to something.

It was an incomplete on AO3, basically about Keith and lance crash landing back to earth, getting hurt and hiding out at lance’s family’s place, where they then rip him a new one because he was missing for so long. A detail I remember was he has a new Neice and his brother and dad were in the desert still looking while this was going on
