Laura Survives AU
An Alternate Universe where Laura survived the island and made it to the point of meeting up with Team B, suggested by Baconcopter!
I suppose in this version of events while sailing back, instead of dealing with Laura's death the drama was over who Keith would choose. But then they realized there was a third option, and things just somehow managed to work out agreeably for all three. XD

Who wouldn’t want Natani as an alpha?
My heart wants this
An AU I didn't knew I wanted untill someone suggested it.
As feelgood as this pic is, I have to live up to my username and point out that Team B was still dealing with Carver and taking Zen hostage, which led to Natani's brief coma on the ship; Keith responded by slugging Trace in frustration and then seeking a medic(?) once on the mainland. So in this AU, how would Laura's presence have changed Keith's reaction? How would Laura have reacted to seeing Nat drop cold in the middle of sparring with Keith? Was she told about his soul-link with Zen before it happened, or did Keith have to try and explain what the problem was while trying to care for Natani? Am I overthinking this? Did I really just ask that? What day is it? Ow.
doesn't the situation portrayed naturally imply that laura's survival isn't the only point of divergence in this AU though? :P saying "what's the minimal explanation for what is presented" is still nitpicking, just turned around on building up cause rather than brushing away effect; why not turn nitpicking powers on determining why we see what we do than why we shouldn't see what we do? :D
I greatly approve
As a poly person myself, this sketch hits right in the feels <3
Agreed! I very much want to see more good polyam in fiction. Or any ... I probably need someone to point to me to some good media for that
It seems like Keith just has a talent for attracting beautiful canine Keidren to himself without trying.
This is funny to me as an Australian, as I automatically see AU as Australia. When I read the title I had this scene of her surviving the Australian outback. Complete with all the deadly things that live here. This is better however :)
Great pack to be in
Having two beautiful ladies? Yeah I’d be okay to be in Keiths shoes right now.....or I guess in his ankle rappings? You get my point.
Well now I'm just thinking of potential anime tie ins, like Ranka from Seton Academy asking these three to join her pack. Or Laura meeting Reni for the first time and having a Kemono Friends "Please don't eat me!" reaction :)
There's a joke there.. but not going too. And this is amazing. the way laura looks, amazing
I hope someone writes a fanfic for this AU sometime. I kinda wanna see how Zen would/wouldn't work into this.
Nice to see Laura's hair strands return :P
I approve of this solution.
They make such a cute thruple!
So now we know Natani likes older women....
I'm happy yet also confused🤨
Happy and confused is exactly how Mistress Laura likes 'em.
All three of them are lucky
This is really good. I've been wanting to suggest an AU where Laura, Keith, and Natani are in a poly relationship but I didnt think anyone would vote for that. Maybe now I'll have to change it to Laura domming both Keith and Natani at the same time
poly here and would 100% vote it if i was backing the higher tiers haha
Natani: "Honestly, when you think about it, Laura is more my, eh... type than Keith, anyway. Though Keith is still-" Laura: "Relentlessly sexy regardless of gender preference?" Keith: "Laura!?" Trace, from the background: "She's not wrong, ya know! Can confirm!" *Thumbs up.* Flora: "No one asked you! (...Even if you are right.)" Keith: *Blushes.*
ooh i like this a lot.
Sorry I was so vague with my suggestion, I seen comments saying I should have been more specific. Anyway, I really love how this came out and I appreciate the thought you put into it Tom, thank you!
Eh, it wasn't too crazy unspecific, and it seems to have left Tom open to build the character interaction the way he wanted. Definitely good results! 😁
This is the good stuff.
WAIT!!! Stop everything! Roll it all back! This is canon now. KeiTanAura is and always shall be the tru-tru ship. Rough shall captain a poly fleet consisting of this and SyMarAine. And all shall be right with the world. The end. (BTW, is Nat taking applications for the pack? 0w0 )
Okay get them tranquilizers ready the bear needs to be put down they've had too much excitement
We need to see a similar version of this with Keith, Natani, and Kathrin. She did seem to have some mild feelings for Nat, but I don't think he's had time to process that or follow-up on it since they got to town and the estate.
Heck, why not just add her to the existing pack? I could see this AU's Laura noticing Kat's shy interest first, thinking about it for a little while, then bringing it up with a surprised Keith and Natani... and after much discussion (during which Keith never stops blushing) they give Kathrin a gentle invitation. Keith would insist that they make it clear there will be no hard feelings if she refuses, and Laura would add that there's no pressure on Kat to make a decision right away, they understand this is a lot to think about...
I suppose this puts a different sound on 'Pack howl"
I wouldn't mind seeing more of this.
It would be very interesting to see her alive throughout the comic.
The look on Laura’s face says it all
I'd actually like to see more art with "mature" Laura. Silver foxes, mmm
All this drama and Princess Remi is just casually strolling around in the field behind them xD
*wiggly eyebrows*
Very cute. Also, stuff like this is a fun reminder of how tall wolves are.
Was going to say, this just emphasizes how much of an absolute unit Natani is.
