This isn't going to make a whole lot of sense but here's a little storyboarded part of what happens between Present day MK and co. leaving in Legacy, and Galacta Knight going off to break into one of Nightmare's bases
Hey there, how are you doing? I have a request. Can we use your fanart for the Starliner/Legacy Au that has "emotions will only change part of the eye colour..." written on it, as an illustration for our TVTropes page "LivingMoodRing"? We'll credit you of course.
I've been on a Starfield bent lately and listened to this song collab imagine dragons did and honestly I couldn't help think of legacy and starliner. Here's the link for inspiration.

It also brought this little premise for a story in mind that I may work on. MK finally gets the halberd (2.0) rebuilt thanks to the help of the generals. In return he, jecra and garlude decide to take supplies to an outpost 400ly away. But a certain baby ends up stowing away followed by his two adopted siblings.
oh my gosh this song is amazing! I'm so honoured it made you think of my AU omg!
MK would needs one of those Baby on Board signs that folks have in their car haha!
there would be so much chaos on the Halberd with those three onboard poor MK!
Would you compare Meta and Galacta's relationship (after their first encounter of course) similar to Kirby and Meta's relationship? Like does Meta look up to Galacta like Kirby looks up to Meta?
Oh, nice question!
In this AU not at all haha
Those two, particularly at the beginning, are like two angry cats trying to pass by each other on a fence
Meta Knight was much older than Kirby when he met Galacta, not in the best circumstances, and even though Meta Knight was fighting to die in that first fight, he still hates losing.
For the first few years they keep running into each other, it's hissed insults and taunts and jests and brawling until they grow irritated enough one of them leaves. MK wasn't a part of the GSA, but their mutual hatred of Nightmare was enough to keep them more on the same side than not.
Eventually it turns into reluctant respect for each other, more fights, more taunts, more fights, into oops crap that idiot is going to get himself killed and that's my job now I have to save his ass.
It takes a long long time, but they go from I will stab you in the face if you so much as look at my funny, to I will only let you fight next to me because everyone else is a backstabbing moron.
That last changes as MK joins the GSA and Jecra and Garlude and general proximity to nicer folk turn the puffball softer.
They end up as I will die for you pals, but in like an I will complain about you every second about how stupid you are kind of way. They are not the same as Jecra, Garlude, and MK's friendship with each other, it's harsher. But it's no less deep or important to either of them.
Ha it's hard to explain. They are good friends that also occasionally beat each other black and blue. But like. For fun.
