I was thinking about a Girl Genius October Daye au because honestly, what else do you expect from me at this point,

• Tarvek is Daoine Sidhe, definitely a noble (although Anevka would inherit, probably, since it’s implied that Faerie practices absolute primogenitor). His magic probably smells like silver and netted irises.
• Zantabraxus is Tualtha de Dannan and may or may not be the High Queen of the Westlands. I REALLY want Klaus to be a changeling but can’t figure out what he could be–I’m leaning towards Cait Sidhe but I’m not sure about it, since they can’t and don’t meddle with divided court politics.
• Gil and Zeetha grew up together until they got sent into blind fosterages (which is how Gil met Tarvek and Zeetha met Agatha). Gil’s magic smells like water mint and bluebells, and Zeetha’s smells like wood rot and clovers. 
• The Heterodynes are Dochas Sidhe (because eventually everything comes back to the blood) and Lucrezia is Tylwth Teg. After everybody gets elfshot, their lands and the knowe get entrusted to Klaus while Agatha is in hiding.
• Agatha gets raised by Adam and Lilith, Coblynau and Hob changelings, respectively. She’s aware of faerie but doesn’t know she’s nobility until she comes of age. Her magic smells like fernleaf yarrow and bronze.
