Warnings: None
Summary: After the Baron’s stasis bomb seals Agatha in Mechanicsburg, KB is forced to escape from the Empire and take control of what little of the Heterodyne’s resources he has under his command. He’s not very excited about that.
When Uncle Barry reappears after eleven years, he’s not very excited about that either.
AN: Very largely inspired by Mixed Feelings and a conversation with @destiny919. Originally I had this written for the twins au (which is still going to be a thing! Enjoy the previews of that) but decided I didn’t like the direction it was going, so I had to scrap it. Still, I enjoyed writing it too much to actually throw it out, so have this fic of Barry being yelled at by his very (and justifiably) angry nephew.
The first week spent in the caverns outside of Mechanicsburg was confusing at best and a disaster at worst. As they struggled to determine exactly who had been inside the city when it was cut off, it became increasingly clear just how much they’d lost: the jaeger generals, the minions, the administrators, even the Lady Heterodyne. Things were looking grim. But even though the Heterodyne was trapped in Mechanicsburg, there was still another one outside the walls.
KB threw himself into organizing their forces with the fervor of a spark and the precision of an ex-Secretary. He set up in the infirmary and took reports while he treated the wounded. Most of his papers ended up covered in blood and bile, but by the end of the first two days they had a comprehensive list of their manpower, supplies, and rations. That was around the time the refugees started arriving.

Everyone destined to fall in loyalty with a Spark is born with that Spark’s sigil on their skin.
The scattering of trilobites among children born after the Heterodyne Boys vanish is taken throughout Europa as evidence that they’ll come back.
In Mechanicsburg all the children are still born with trilobites and that’s taken as hope of a different kind.
The scattering of winged castles throughout Europa is considered with puzzlement during the days when Wulfenbach is a small barony (which doesn’t even have an airforce!) and Klaus is mostly known as the Heterodyne Boys’ sidekick. Maybe it’s going to be someone else’s sigil?
Bang hides hers. She’s a pirate queen, the last thing she needs is to follow a Spark around. When she finds herself doing just that she hides the tattoo anyway. Gil would be smug and Klaus would be unsurprised.
Boris regards his with annoyance, he doesn’t want to belong to any Spark, and then with hope, it’s not the sigil of the Spark that experimented on him, he won’t belong to them forever, and finally with acceptance.
Moloch’s trilobite baffles him when he’s younger. If the Heterodyne Boys return it certainly won’t involve him. When he’s sent to Castle Heterodyne and sees the same mark on the other prisoners he thinks that’s it, the Castle owns them now and was obviously destined to. The truth, when he’s faced with it, scares him even worse.
Violetta’s trilobite nearly gets her killed. A sign of disloyalty in the making, written on her skin. Tarvek pulls strings to keep her alive and hopes it means a real Heterodyne (because the alternative is Lucrezia inhabiting the body of one and he will not see his stubborn, loving cousin in loyalty with her.)
In the vein of those Din and Luke meet on Tatooine before they live the Star Wars?
I propose that Din is the ~sweetheart from back home story Luke tells people if they ask about that kind of thing, you know?
Nineteen year-old Luke who gets tossed into the deep end whe he joins the Rebellion, right?
Farm boy from Tatooine in a starfighter squadron filled with people like Wedge and Janson.
And all the hurry up and wait that happens, and a card game that springs up between missions. Some late night somewhere - Hoth, maybe - and it was just a little too much to toss and turn all night in the bunks, maybe tale a stroll through base. Stop by the hangar because someone’s always there - weather lie this you can bet someone’s fixing something or adapting it to make it work in these conditons, and anyway, anyway.
Hell of a lot better than being stuck with your own thoughts you know backwards and front.

So um, yes, I have heard that this is the place to ask for an invite to the Girl Genius Discord? I've tried some of the other links you're posted but it said that they were all expired. I just reread the entire comic in...3-4 days I need help and/or others to go crazy with.
here you go: https://discord.gg/nAvEa7w - NOW PERMANENT!
@gigglinggoggles and @trust-me-i-dare-you as well. Welcome to the madness place!
(Or: Revali gave Link the paraglider, change my mind)
About five seconds into BotW, I got inordinately attached to the paraglider (and wrote fic about it). Link’s paraglider appears to be the only one in existence and I am seeing surprisingly little speculation about its origin. So allow me to posit a theory: Link received the paraglider from Revali.

You know that shattering noise of the Master Sword running out of energy? 😂 I got thinking about that...
Link: shit shit shit did I just break the millenia old legendary holy sword?????
Of course the sword does go back to normal on its own after some time but it keeps happening over and over & he has no idea how or why and he's just ??????? is this a sign i'm doing something wrong or????
I just love the idea of pre-calamity Zelink bonding over their shared struggle with their destined roles 🥹
Links dad loves all of his son, even the goth dumb one
