Hi! I sent this in about a week ago but I think Tumblr may have eaten it. So, in your Beagle Family Values AU, how does Huey find out that he was kidnapped at birth, his family didn't abandon him, and he's the grand-nephew to Scrooge McDuck? And how does he and everyone else react to this news once it gets out?

Huey finds out seperately from Dewey and Louie. His brothers find out normally, as in canon, with their venture in Castle McDuck; Webby is actually with them because I believe she wouldn’t pass up the opportunity to explore the catacombs/underground tunnels of Castle McDuck - especially the deathtraps! - joy overload be damned. it’s also exploring the tomb of Donald Duck, her hero & that’s a once in a lifetime opportunity - no way Webby’s passing that up

Nope the thing is, Huey - or Red or Cap (he’s not called Huey in this AU) - does not have it easy in this AU. He finds he’s of McDuck heritage when he successfully breaks into the mansion to prove a point  and he’s caught by Beakley; but not before he’s able to slip something into his pocket.

it’s a magic thing and of course it houses the spirit of Duckworth. The Ghost Butler. 

And of course Duckworth is surprised that he is not serving Mr. McDuck in the afterlife, but is instead dealing with one of nephews. He voices this out loud. Huey promptly bursts out laughing, but he sounds a little hysterical and now that he thinks about it -

- He doesn’t want to think about it. So he doesn’t. And now Red has a ghost butler who won’t really listen to him & vice versa and they’re both very sarcastic and Red secretly enjoys this ghost’s company but he won’t admit it – not even under death threat

Ghost Duckworth comes very much in handy later on, but for now, he’s Huey’s solid rock in his twisted world with the Beagles. Huey calls him ghostman at first (lol)

Duckworth doesn’t mention it in the beginning, but when he first appeared before Huey, he thought he was Donald - a very scrappy, unkempt, long haired, and unfed version of Donald - Huey is his spitting image.
