Red Headed Cousin and Black Jewels are getting separate posts because I got specific questions about them, but –

The Pretender I’ve actually written. Check out the link.

Jägerson is a collaboration with @scribeprotra on Discord. Lucrezia decided to give Tarvek Jagerish qualities when she was designing him. Probably she wanted him to be inclined to obey her when she had her lovely new body. He’s got the nose, so he can smell Jägers. They smell like friendship to him.

Generally an imitation Jäger gets killed instantly, but this kid obviously had no control of what happened to him, so the Jägers aboard Castle Wulfenbach take him under their wings and treat him (and Gil) like little brothers.

Anyway, Tarvek’s still Tarvek shaped, but he can punch through things like steel doors without much issue, and he likes to roll around play-fighting with anyone he doesn’t have to be careful not to break. He once absent-mindedly elbowed Martellus across a room, so… he has to be careful not to break basically everyone. (And he’s tired of it.)

Kings of Clay: The twins are the results of Zanta’s second pregnancy, so Klaus gets back later, and Gil is younger. Klaus tracks down Adam and Lilith and persuade them to raise Gil with Agatha – Barry wasn’t paranoid about Klaus when he left Agatha with them because he still thought Klaus was dead.

Anyway, in order to disguise the fact that there’s a Heterodyne child aboard Castle Wulfenbach, the Jägers show an interest in the entire school. Tarvek notices that Gil and Agatha are there because their parents are personal friends of the Baron, so he decides being friends with them would be useful …

There comes a point where most people think of Tarvek, Gil, and Agatha as a unit. Then Aaronev Wilhelm demands him back.

Better Terms: Sturmhalten is the last holdout (in that region) against a joint Heterodyne-Wulfenbach Empire. Tarvek gets to go to Paris, where he makes friends with Gil Hölzfaller and tries to pretend that he’s doesn’t have a sword of Damocles hanging over his head. Then he has to go home because of what happened to Anevka.

He holds out for a couple of years, trying to mitigate the damage his father is causing, but also not willing to kill his father. That restraint breaks when Agatha shows up (as Madame Olga) and A.W. decides to bring back the Other. 

hehehehehehe

But they think the Heterodynes smell nice, and if he hadn’t been raised by Jägers, Tarvek wouldn’t have known why, and just thought he’d fallen in love, and it was Fate or some shit.

Lucrezia thinks she’s special.

I love that AU!

In the version @scribeprotra and I are (theoretically, we got distracted) working on, the Jägers make sure Gil apologizes to Tarvek and they stay in touch, but they don’t actually kidnap him and take him to secret Mechanicsburg places. He’s a Sturmhalter, the future Prince of Sturmhalten.

Letting him have access there requires Heterodyne consent.
