Where is my 20s Girl Genius AU with mob boss Agatha who has taken over the family business and is more than a little bit out of her depth versus rival detectives Gil and Tarvek who are having to (extremely reluctantly) (they have a History™) work together to track down the new criminal in town who is not actually doing anything that bad? But it’s the principle of the thing, and also their orders because Gil’s father is the chief of police and they’re both screwed if they don’t get this sorted.

(Tarvek’s father is a ridiculously important businessman who is constantly breaking laws that Klaus can’t get him for, and who is eternally angry at Tarvek’s decision to get the hell out of the family home ASAP.) (Anevka is the socialite who is a very good front for her father’s money laundering and is slowly plotting his downfall, so basically canon there.)

Gkika’s bar is the front for the Heterodyne crime empire, Agatha is a vaudeville actress there as her ‘day job’ since she can’t be manager like the previous Heterodynes were, alongside Zeetha (who is totally in on it) and a few others including Lars (who is very much not in on it).

Cue the antics including Gil and Tarvek simultaneously falling madly in love with Agatha ‘Clay’ while sneakily investigating Gkika’s. (Zeetha basically tells her to seduce them in order to get them off their backs and stop investigating them. It doesn’t work. Well, the seducing does – the leaving her alone bit definitely doesn’t.)

oh god i want this so badly D:

oh! oh oh oh! @constancecomment and I have a thoroughly-planned-but-mostly-unwritten-but-we-SWEAR-WE’RE-GONNA-DO-IT-SOMEDAY Prohibition AU set in Atlantic City where Agatha has just taken over/resurrected her family’s mob “business” and Tarvek is her business/political rival moving into town expanding the Tammany Hall outfit, and Gil is a police detective trying to deal with all of the above plus a string of mysterious disappearances! Klaus is Police Chief and Zeetha is part of Bang’s all-female smuggling gang.

coming eventually to an archive near you! 

I did not expect for someone to already have something in the works
