Summary
“You have an invasive parasite!” he called. “If you’ve been importing goods from Spain, they may have been contaminated! But it’s alright! I can help!”
“We are not helping!” Grax snarled. “We are invading!”Oroborus "Bob" Heterodyne is a bit of an embarrassment to Mechanicsburg, especially his father. Bob inherited the Heterodyne passion for science -- but for regular science. He doesn't even use his knowledge of insects to build giant, acid-spitting ant monsters.
But when Bob gets distracted in the middle of an invasion of a nearby kingdom, Mechanicsburg will learn that you don't have to be mad to be loved.

Summary
In which Klaus takes Zeetha from Skifander, instead of Gil. Both twins struggle to fit in roles that were not meant for them. History happens regardless, but the details change.
Note: not a complete rewrite of canon, just some scenes that I think would be fun to play with.

Summary
Agatha did not know she was the daughter of William Heterodyne and Lucrezia Mongfish. She thought she was the beloved ward of Lady Teodora Vodenicharova, and the unexpected but equally beloved companion of Lord Saturnus Heterodyne.
Agatha did not know that the debilitating headaches that earned her the scorn and (worse) the pity of her fellow Mechanicsburgers were caused by the locket her uncle gave her. She thought she was stupid, useless, and broken.
Now she knows she is Lady Agatha Heterodyne, rightful ruler of Mechanicsburg. Now she knows she is a Spark.
When she learns the truth, Agatha inadvertently kicks off a series of events that reopens old wounds, drags secrets into the light, and brings war to the doorstep of the all but defenseless Mechanicsburg. Saturnus struggles to crush his enemies with a town almost as broken as his body; Agatha, determined to undo the chaos she's unleashed, plunges into the depths of Castle Heterodyne.
Raised by a literal saint and the devil incarnate, Agatha - with an unleashed mind, a burning spark, and a band of very unexpected allies - will fight to do the unthinkable: be a good Heterodyne and a good person.

Relatively Speaking, This Will Probably Be Fine by bigasswritingmagnet (thekumquat)
Fandoms: Girl Genius (Webcomic)

Summary
A prequel to 'Helpful, in a Heterodyne Sort of Way'!
Everyone knows Agatha Sannikova can't be a Heterodyne, even if she did arrive mysteriously one night to live with Lady Teodora and Lord Saturnus. She's got those headaches, and she's not too bright - she's not even a Spark! Besides, Lady Teodora says she isn't; Agatha's just her ward. Lady Teodora is an honest woman, everyone knows that.
She does get along quite well with Lord Saturnus, which is a bit odd, but we're all just glad he's doing better - she's had a very good affect on his health. He's even talking again! Lady Teodora doesn't like the kind of, er, "life lessons" he's tried to teach her, but Agatha hasn't set anyone on fire or unleashed any terrifying monstrosities on the town.
And that's another reason we know she's no Heterodyne. If she was, chaos would follow in her wake, intentionally or not. And she's very normal. Boring even.
...what do you mean, tempting fate?

Summary
Hornet woke in the Black Egg Temple to the sight of her sibling's fractured mask. For the walk from the temple's central chamber to its exit, she thought herself truly alone in the world once more.
When Hollow followed her out, she realized that wasn't so. But now she has to try and take care of her older sibling as they recuperate and learn to live in a world where they do not have to be pure, figure out what to do about what Little Ghost left of a body, and try to piece together two kingdoms which fell long ago.
Life keeps throwing her surprises, too, which does not help.
(Post-Dream No More ending, though it's fudged and mixed with the Godseeker endings some. Characters and tags will be updated as more chapters are posted.)

Summary
"You are on a path in the woods. At the end of that path is a cabin. And in the basement of that cabin..."
So it begins, every time—not that the nameless voice has any idea how he knows that. This is the first time he's been here, and the only thing he remembers to boot. And yet he still knows, somehow, that there is a Princess in the basement of that cabin, that the other voices in his head are meant to be there, and that something has gone horribly wrong.
Or, an unexplained absence of both the Narrator and the Long Quiet leaves the voices—and their patchwork memories of their own paths—to do the Long Quiet's job for him. It's going just fine.
