I’ve been thinking about this for a long time and I finally finished it!!!

Question: In the fic “Better Terms”, how does Agatha end up pretending to be Madame Olga when her dad and uncle are kind of emperors?
She’s ‘investigating the Empire’. The Heterodyne Boys are letting her pretend to have her teenage rebellion/adventuring stage, with a pack of Jägers following her around.
She’s incognito because her dad and uncle are emperors. She’s pretending not to know about the Jägers, and so is everyone else.
So, I gather that in the Better Terms ‘verse, Gil grows up knowing whose son he is? Are he and Agatha raised together? How many people think that they’ve been betrothed to each other since early childhood?
Gil and Agatha are raised together in the school aboard the Boys’ airship administrative center.
Gil… grows up knowing he belongs to the Heterodynes, he’s the son of a Heterodyne ally.
Once he finds out which one everyone assumes he and Agatha are betrothed, yeah, – including them, briefly.
Then they decide to get married anyway, and never mind that their father and uncle are being idiots about it.
The Heterodyne’s Muses and Van Rijn’s Sins
So I got back into Girl Genius recently and as my mind does I got to thinking.
What if it was the Heterodynes that made the Muses and Van Rijn who made the Deadly Sins clanks.
Like say to celebrate the union between Euphrosynia and Andronicus, one of the Heterodynes makes a set of nine clanks as a betrothal gift to the new Storm King. They’re called The Muses.
This being the Heterodynes, these clanks are not the delicate, mysterious and subtle beings we know in cannon. The Heterodynes could not resist the urge to add in built in death-rays, concealed blades, and other nasty surprises. Add in the Heterodynes own direct nature, their taste in aesthetics, and what things inspire them, you get a very different set of legendary clanks running around. For example, Moxana has a map table in front of her instead of a card table, complete with everything you need to map out a battle. Not to mention a massive concealed death-ray within her chair.
Instead of these ethereal, graceful clanks standing behind Andronicus in the pictures, the Storm King is flanked an honor guard of armored horrors with fanged grins and a large assortment of weaponry.
However appearances are deceptive, and despite their appearance the Muses are advisors, and they advised the Storm King. Andronicus, finding himself more and more surrounded by sycophants and intrigue, comes to value The Muse’s direct manner, straightforward advice and blunt opinions. Much to the worry of the rest of the court, who fear the Storm King is falling more and more under the sway of the Heterodynes.
When Andronicus’s empire collapses, many try to destroy the muses as Heterodyne abominations, dismantle them to see how they work, or seize them for themselves. Not only is it quickly discovered that not only had the Heterodynes given the Muses free will, but it is also forgotten that nothing made by a Heterodyne will just stand passively by while someone tries to take it apart. Those that try are quickly reminded. From there on the Muses drift where fortune takes them, they split, reunite, and split again. They serve many different rulers, and even disintegrate a few when said rulers don’t react well to assessments they don’t want to hear.
Eventually we get to the present where Otilia is serving Klaus, looking after the education and well-being of the future rulers of Europa; a long-lost Heterodyne heir has been found; Tarvek proclaims his right to the Lightning crown before Tinka and is tested in a way many Heterodynes would find very familiar; and everyone discovers the Muses also share the Heterodyne’s opinions on Monogamy. (Especially when it comes to uniting three powerful political factions.)
Now on the other side of the board. During his life Van Rijn made seven clanks for Andronicus who danced for him, played music, ran messages, and acted as his personal servants. They faded into the background, rarely noticed or remarked upon as anything other than as another curiosity made by Van Rijn.
Van Rijn called them the Deadly Sins. They were supposed to keep Andronicus’s hands clean, by doing his sinning for him. They were assassins and killers, designed to protect the Storm King and eliminate his enemies. They were made to blend in, to avoid notice, and to kill with the greatest subtlety and secrecy. They could pose as servants, delivering poison to where it was least expected. They could turn allies against each other and play on people’s desires and emotions to get them to do the killing for them. They were silent knives in the midst of a crowd, and brutal murders in places people thought they were safe.
They did not fare so well. Their own mandate of secrecy prevented them from revealing their true purpose, even to protect their existence from those that went after them trying to learn the secrets of Van Rijn. Those that survived the collapse of the empire slipped into the shadows of anonymity. With no clear candidate as Storm King, and thus no master to serve, they scattered across Europa killing as whim and circumstance warranted, watching, searching, waiting.
Now the candidates have narrowed. Aaronev Tarvek Sturmvoraus and Martellus von Blitzengaard are the two best candidates to become the Sins’ new master. The games of the Fifty Families become even more deadly as the Sins work to protect their two potential kings. As to who they will ultimately serve, the Sins agree. Whichever boy survives, will be the one worthy enough to wear the Lightning Crown.
A Heterodyne-made Otilia would not get Von Pinned so easily.
At this point, how many Sins do you think are left? And how long does it take for Tarvek and Tweedle to notice their deadly guardians?
homestuck au where everything is the same except all the beta kids were raised as siblings by johns dad because jade didnt deserve to be alone, rose didnt deserve to be ignored and dave didnt deserve to get his ass beat on a regular basis. bro is in jail
they get in the game and find out theyre actually two sets of legitimate siblings and instead of being like “why were these two people were not related two raised as our siblings” (because dad is clearly john’s bio father) john and jade are just like. “awwww WE wanna be related to dave and rose too. this isnt fair”
they meet the alpha kids and rose turns to the derse kids and is like “im rose. i think im your daughter? this is my brother dave, my brother john, and my sister jade. what are your names” and dirk actually literally has a fucking stroke
john and jade have lived together their ENTIRE lives as siblings even though theyre technically second cousins? but dave and rose came later. john and dave had been internet friends and one year when theyre in like fifth grade dave comes to visit and when dad sees all these fuckin bruises all over him hes like “what the FUCK” and when dave goes “oh yeah bro and i were fighting. hes training me for something i guess its no big deal rly. the swords are p badass” dad is like JOHN….JADE……SLEEPING BAGS ARE DOWNSTAIRS and later when daves supposed to go back home john and jade go with him and dads like “im taking your kid because youre incompetent and a monster” and bros like “fair.” and then they call the police on him
roses mom and johns dad were dating for a while like two years later and they were all INTIMATELY aware of the fact that she had no idea whatsoever about how to take care of a kid. one day she was like “hey can you babysit rosey for a few hours i gotta do something” and dad went “yeah” and then mom like. never picked up rose. she just kind of skipped town. so dads here with his two Actual children plus johns internet friend whos brother beat him up and this goth eleven-year-old with a negligent mom and hes just. “guess i need a bigger car”
oh also john and jade are on the meteor during the game. thats a thing. the trolls are all like “???????moirails?????” but thats just kind of how the kids have always acted with each other and they see zero reason to stop now. theyd always been super close for siblings (rose thinks its because theyre all roughly the same age) but for some reason they never grew apart like some kids do and just. stayed really close. they love each other dammit
john and jade legitimately do forget that they arent really related to dave and rose btw. like they straight up are like “remember when this thing happened when we were five” and dave is like “i didnt live with you until i was like 9 dude” and john and jade are like “what really”
also like. since jade was raised around people (including john) theyre both EXTREMELY touchy and even though theyd NEVER say it out loud dave and rose are extremely hungry for like. healthy physical contact that didnt involve fighting ESPECIALLY dave so they have movie nights and shit and they all fall asleep in one big pile??? jade’s got her arms around rose who’s holding hands with john whose legs are tangled up with dave who’s got his face in jade’s hair and despite the logistical speed bumps its literally the most comfortable any of them have ever been as some dumb movie plays on the television and they dream
john’s a prep jade’s a jock dave’s a nerd and rose’s a goth. they all go to public school and have no friends aside from each other for almost two years because since the strilondes dont look like theyre related to the harleyberts people assume that john/rose and jade/ dave are couples and therefore Do Not Interact
one day jades like “blah blah blah my brother dave” and whoever shes talking to is like…..”dave strider? i thought he was your boyfriend” and jade says without skipping a beat “his name is dave egbert and no offense but i would actually rather die”
dave and rose have simultaneous identity crises in sixth grade. “oh jesus oh fuck were not legitimate harleybert siblings what if john and jade dont think were valid” so they sneak out one night to the 24-hour drugstore, pool their allowances to buy enough black hair dye to make rapunzel a goth, and spend two hours together silently destroying their hair as they soak it in cheap dye long enough to literally make it black almost permanently. john gets up to get a glass of water at 2 am and opens the bathroom door to see dave wearing a shower cap and rose frantically scrubbing off the dye stains on the sink and walks right back out again. jade wakes up the next morning and sees two dark-haired people she doesnt recognize asleep next to her and almost has a fucking heart attack
