hello im pretty new to the fandom and ship.. do you know any fics where keith gets with shiro's clone? no matter the story, whether bcs its s8 compliant, or original shiro is dead, or something else. I've been looking thru ao3 looking for fics like that that isnt just smut or kuron as a temporary placeholder (nothing wrong with that!!! i enjoyed them i just need a different flavor) but came up empty, but i do admit my tag filtering game is bad
Here's a few:

Twelve years ago, Shiro woke up on an unknown planet, cold and alone and so very far from Earth. By the time Keith arrives to bring him home, so much has changed. Shiro realizes that there's a lot about Keith that he doesn't know anymore. And, as it turns out, there's a lot about himself that he didn't know, either.

The safest thing to do, perhaps, is to let the clone die. Destroy the pod, if possible. They can't be sure what they'll wake up. But Keith is here. That changed everything. Keith had cared about Shiro - well, who he thought was Shiro, even after. Keith had cared about the clone back then, even knowing what he was, even knowing what he tried to do to their team, their family. Keith had told that clone that he- It’s doesn’t matter, right now. Keith is here, and Shiro's not going to make Keith watch him die another time. So he says, "Wake him up."
Or: Shiro watches Keith and his clone Kuro together, and sees a glimpse of what could've been if he had made different choices.
someone else's name - museaway
22k. (Mature).
Still reeling from the emotional blow of Shiro’s marriage, Keith returns to the place where he discovered the clones, hoping to find closure. What he finds instead is a single surviving clone, Ryou, who is determined to be a part of Keith's life. But growing closer to him forces Keith to face his lingering feelings for Shiro, especially when things turn intimate and Ryou tries to reclaim his identity.
