If you are like me and don’t particularly like the story where Hephaestus attempts to assault Athena which then leads to the birth of Ericthonius, there’s another version where Hephaestus has the child with an Athenian princess named Atthis. Which tbh could be very narratively compelling since Erichthonius retakes the throne that was taken from his grandfather Cranaus.

According to Wikipedia Atthis “dies a virgin” tho it doesn’t provide a source (if you know the actual source for that pls let me know), my hc is that Hephaestus and Atthis had a brief affair, then after a while she passed away, she’s buried without anyone knowing she’s pregnant and so Gaia carries the baby to term, when he’s born she gives the baby to Athena bc hey, it’s the son of an Athenian princess so maybe Athena would want to take him in.

Listen about this fic Idea I have...

So when Ganga takes Devavrat with her away from Shantanu, ahe takes him to Kailash with her

And everyone gets a hell of a time babysitting da Baby...

And I headcanon Ganga, Vasuki and Chandradev to have this chaotic trio kinda friendship... So they can be this disaster uncles.. 👀

Also we already know about all the custody fights related to Ganga... So imagine everyone fighting over who's the grandpa..

And then Devavrat meets Limnaie (Ganges's daughter and a nymph) and they become besties.

After her son Atthis gets killed by Perseus Dev consoles her and becomes her emotional support. Meanwhile Limnaie comes to find out about his aroaceness (my hc) and she's like wooo congratss and he's like yeah this is why my brother can become the king so he can continue the lineage :3

Also we all know they become besties with Ganesh and Kartik as well :3
