Locket’s hold more than Secrets

Inky tears streamed down her face, lips cracking as they broke into a shaky smile. Cool stone knuckles brushed her lips as she looked as her mother’s face for the first time in twenty years. 

She seemed to be in telling a story, a good one if this picture was anything to go by. Her fingers traced the violet streaks streaking her otherwise auburn hair as it sloped gently against her right temple. You would think it would clash, but it somehow didn’t. 

Something was tugging at the back of her mind as she held the locket close. 

There was something familiar to her face, and not simply in the sense of old memories. 

Staring at her mother’s eyes as they crinkled in laughter, they were a near perfect match to her own, excluding the color. 

Even now, as the moonstone thrummed quietly in her chest, her eyes were still muted compared to her mothers. 

She hadn’t seen eyes that blue since...

No...

-/Explanation.../-

The Blue Lady (Zhan Tiri) helped Cass find an old storage locker of her mother’s, which included a locket of her and Cass. It is here that she discovers on of her diaries and many the twists in her family tree.

Cass is Varian’s sister in the D-Crew AU and she’s just starting to clue in on it. Yes it makes sense- No, neither Ulla or Quirin are a*******. I’ll get to it.

The Moondrop does strange things to the host, even when it’s just a piece. Blue tint to the hair and eyes. A resistance to magic. Erratic rates of healing, dependent on the moon cycle. . 

With the larger portion Cass has, it’s also affecting her internally. Her body is constantly in an in between of deterioration and restoration- hence the pitch like body fluids, such as tears.

Her arm had nearly completely rotted and had long since required amputation by the time she’d went to grab the Moonstone. Acquiring a new one- as clunky as it is, was the most time consuming task. Eventually she resulted in simply having to steal one and bully a doctor into installing a nerve port, covering the cybernetics in black rock where she could. 

She’s... getting used to it. 

We stand Immortal Dimension Jumper Ulla in this house- but that’s another post.

Varian giggled, reaching out to feel the fascinating scratchy-smooth texture of his dad’s stubble. 

However, Ulla held him securely her lap, staring at the back of the floofy hair with mild worry. 

“You sure you’re not worried about the... you know.” Twirling the little blue highlight, returned to its former glory, he tilted his head back to look at her briefly before returning to reach for Quirin’s chin.

“He’s feeling like himself.” Quirin smiled, eyes flicking back between his wife and his son, content. “That’s what I care about.”

The thoughts and headcannons I have around Ulla and Quirin and they live in my head rent free.

D-Crew AU Tangled Timeline: Eugene and Lance were almost adopted by Quirin and Ulla when they were around 14-15. 

Details below Cut

Ulla (picture above) found them hiding out in one of the barn when getting Admiral (their trail horse). Eugene and Lance were on the run from a successful mark when Lance ran over an old, rusted out trap. 

This may or may not have been where Varian got his hemophobia, because when Eugene finally managed to get that thing off there was blood EVERY where. 

The Ritter’s got Lance to the hospital, but between the mangled state of his leg and how long he’d had the thing stuck around it, he had to get it removed. 

Between Quirin, Eugene, and Ulla’s magic touch he healed pretty quickly. 

Ulla was surprisingly knowledgeable on the innerworkings of prosthetics and nerve ports, but Quirin simply raised a brow and let her do her thing.

After a couple of months, Ulla suggests an idea to her husband when their making dinner. Since it seems Varian has already gotten attatched to the boys and that they’ve been doing so great with Quirin, that maybe it’d be a good idea to start looking at some adoption papers. 

Quirin, knowing what it’s like to be on the streets at 15, and was trying to firgure out a way to broach this to his wife, agrees, much to Varian’s delight (and the eaves dropping teens) delight. 

Ulla goes missing three days later. 

Corona police are convinced Quirin had something to do with it, despite every person in Old Corona vouching that he didn’t. Because of this, the adoption is denied despite Quirin’s efforts (as that’s what Ulla would’ve wanted). 

At some point the Corona police connect the Thefts from a few months ago to the teens staying at the Ritter’s Farm, and Eugene and Lance flee the scene. 

Eugene and Lance are welcomed at the Ritter’s place any time; it serves as a kind of safe haven. They never stay for more than a few weeks at a time, but it’s the closest thing the two have to a definition of Home. 

Varian always gets excited at their visits, wanting to hear their stories or show off his latest inventions. They teach him theiving tips and trick (borrowing phones, running along fence railings, going around unseen) Occasionally Varian can be seen making adjustments to Lance’s leg, though with how Ulla built it, it seems to be growing with him. (He and Eugene realized pretty quickly that this thing is well beyond the current technology, Varian confirming)

Quirin does what he can for the two, having no idea that Eugene’s his old boss’s son. 

Varian and Quirin are the only ones allowed to call Flynn and Lance Eugene and Arnwaldo, but they tend to respect that they what they want to be called.

Part of why Eugene stole the Crown was to help pay for Varian’s SFIT Tuition, because a) there was no way in heck he wasn’t going to make it in and b) SFIT’s expensive with out a bunch of scholarships. 

So IMAGINE with me, Eugene’s flat out offense that CASSANDRA was the one to introduce Varian to Rapunzel, as some sort of evil mad scientist. 

(The people of Old Corona seems to see him more as an oddity than a menace, so I believe it’s just New Corona that has a problem with Varian even before the whole rock thing)

Some soft.... Hey do these guys have a ship name? 

Seriously need more fanart of these two

“Relax Robert,” Patting his shoulder, Ulla reassured him, her other hand continuing to type on her laptop. “As long as I’m here, nothing’s gonna happen to Abigail in those portals.”

Callaghan shot back a small smile at her confidence. Granted, with the Portal’s stability monitored under her hawk eyes, there was little that could go wrong.

Too bad Ulla went missing. Context beneath the cut. 

Ulla worked on the Silent Sparrow project with Dr. Callaghan up until a few weeks before the project was presented to the General. 

Her job was to monitor the magnetic fields and counteract the irregularities to ensure the portals stability. This would normally be a whole team’s job that she was able to do one her own (with greater efficiency she was very quick to point out)

However, Ulla kept her professional life and private life VERY separate. They only knew she was married when she took off her gloves and there was a ring there. Robert only found out she had a kid when she asked him to grab her ringing phone; Quirin’s contact photo was a picture of him and Varian on the later’s 3rd birthday.

It was at that point Robert realized that he didn’t know his friend as well as he thought he had, but did not press.

Than she disappeared. No one could find so much as a trace. 

Krei, under a lot of pressure for the Silent Sparrow, continued on, just assigning her interns to do her job. 

Abigail gets stuck in the second dimension, three years pass, and than events of the movie. 

So when some kid wearing her old goggles with that same blue stripe asks him questions on the SIlent Sparrow project, it took him a few moments to realize that Varian had to be Ulla’s kid.

It was very weird, considering Varian took a very similar path that Callaghan did.
