Thinking abt a lrb lives au/void gremlin dh1 emily au.

So emily KNOWS corvo's get executed and this ten year old is determined to get her dad back. So she escapes the cat on her first try and finds a shrine and because emily is ten, takes the rune, winds up marked, and has the same exact powers as dh2 emily. She runs into lrb, and recognizes the mark. Emily manages to work with lrb to unite a gang of street urchins. Emily starts planning and realizes one fatal flaw in her plans: they need an actual adult to help them.

Problem: they dont know any adults that could help, because most of the urchins that survive to adulthood/late teens end up joining gangs. One of the urchins steps up and says that they have an older sibling that's in the bottle street gang, another says they have a sister who joined the whalers as their cook.

Some kids with quick yet sticky fingers manage to pickpocket nobles leaving the cat. One of the older kids, they're about 13? manages to get into the information market. Soon this rat tag group of urchins and the princess of the empire manages to make a name for themselves.

Info gal delivers an anonymous message "Princess Emily Leila Drexel Kaldwin and the children of Clavering Blvd request that Former Lord Royal Protector Corvo Attano.", signed the children of clavering blvd to the bottle street offering a deal: mention this at the next gang leader meeting™ and we'll sell you information.

Meanwhile at whaler hq, daud is being all "i killed the empress now im sad™" and the outsider is like look if you want to get a sliver of a chance of redemption, pay close attention to bottle street.
