This is awesome.
It’s also worth spreading around that you do not have to take an oath on a Bible. If they’ll let her use this, then you can use pretty much any book, which might matter for atheists and people who’s religion lacks sacred texts.
Chapters: 1/? Fandom: Girl Genius (Webcomic) Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Characters: Teodora Vodenicharova, Agatha Heterodyne, Barry Heterodyne, Original Characters Additional Tags: Alternate Universe, Teodora Lives AU, as a witchy old woman in the woods Summary:
One day, Barry shows up on Teodora’s doorstep with a small child. And a child can do worse than being raised by her grandmother, who people may or may not assume is some kind of witch.
This idea occurred to me last night, and I’m still trying to work out how all the pieces would fit together, but I’m really enjoying what I’ve got so far.
At first I just thought ‘what if one of the boys was the Heterodyne heir instead, and Agatha was either the Storm Queen or the Princess of Skifander?’ but then I thought ‘no, what if Agatha was still the Heterodyne, but either the daughter of an ‘illegitimate’ emperor or the daughter of a well-established noble family?’
What if Barry, on getting back from killing Lucrezia, took one look at the mess Europa was in and lost his temper in the most epically Sparky way: ‘I spent my entire life cleaning up your damned messes, and this is what you do when we disappear for a few years?! No. If you can’t be trusted to keep Europa clean yourselves, I will make you, and you will like it! No more nice Heterodyne!’ so he goes back to Mechanicsburg with bb!Agatha, and he’s travelworn and weary and grieving and has a massive case of PTSD (…if it can really be Post Traumatic Stress Disorder when the stress hasn’t stopped yet), this little blonde toddler in breakthrough on his hip, and he goes straight to the Jagerhall, and they’re all stunned, and so relieved to see one of their boys home safe after so long, and to see himin their hall, when Bill and Barry always used to avoid the Jagers as much as they could…
And Barry just ‘Get everyone ready to march; we’re conquering Europa.’
