  Summary

  After their parents perish in a terrible fire (which means were killed), the Quagmire triplets are sent to live with the deplorable Count Olaf, who will stop at nothing to make their lives a misery and steal their sapphire fortune. Meanwhile, Klaus Baudelaire struggles to accept the death of his parents and older sister, while also having to raise his infant sister Sunny and deal with living in a miserable school.

  It will be the start of a very long, very depressing and very difficult journey for these young children, and I suggest you look away. I wish I could.

  !!!IMPORTANT PSA!!!
  For enrichment of the author purposes, this doesn't directly follow either book or tv canon, but some Frankenstein of the two. A lot (not all) of the major plot points and characters will be from the tv show, but a lot of setting and timeline details will be from the books. Basically I just picked and chose my favourites from each. To my knowledge, though, everything makes sense. Feel free to ask if it doesn't, though !!

  Summary

  Having left the entire Village of Fowl Devotees, including Count Olaf and Esmé Squalor, stranded on a dock in flames, the Quagmires could do nothing but drive forwards into the night. As long as the Baudelaires were safe - and they finally were - the triplets were able to press on. However, treachery lurked around every road bend...especially the one leading them to Heimlich Hospital.
  ***
  Part two of the Baudelaire/Quagmire swap (wherein Quigley survived his fire and Violet didn't). I would HIGHLY recommend or just command that you read Little Paper Stars (part one) before reading this, otherwise it will contain some Very Flummoxing Discoveries
