Huepril is the het ship between Huey Duck and April Duck from the Mickey Mouse and Friends fandom.
Canon[]
Huey was introduced in 1937 (in comics) and 1938 (in animation) alongside his triplet brothers Dewey and Louie as the nephews of Donald Duck. April was introduced in 1953 (in comics) alongside her triplet sisters May and June as the nieces of Donald's girlfriend, Daisy Duck. The three sets of ducklings have a long-standing relationship that has been both friendly and antagonistic, and at times bordered on affectionate. On occasion members of each sibling set have paired off with one another, and the girls have been known to sport clothes in the same colors as the nephews on occasion. Exactly which sister pairs off with each brother is never explicitly stated, but it seems probable that they follow their respective naming orders; as such, Huey is paired with April.
Much like their respective uncle and aunt, the relationship between the three nephews and three nieces is at times contentious. Huey and his brothers are known for their strong wills, and April and her sisters are equally formidable. Various materials have, however, indicated that the sibling trios share similar interests despite their occasional quarrels and friction. Both trios are part of scouting organizations in the various Disney comics. The House of Mouse animated series has also indicated that all six ducklings are also musically inclined, with each sibling set forming a band. Interestingly, two of the girls also play the same or similar instruments to the three boys, with only one opting for drums instead of a variant of guitar.
Fanon[]
Huey and April's relationship has not received a great deal of attention in fan made material. This is likely due to the fact that April was for several decades exclusive to Disney comics, and more popular overseas that in the United States. When April finally did make her way into animation, neither House of Mouse or Legend of the Three Caballeros featured her interacting with Huey. April was also excluded-more or less-from the 2017 DuckTales series. However, that hasn't stopped fans from producing works in which she does appear in that universe, and as a possible girlfriend for Huey.
There is 1 work tagged for the pairing on AO3. It is the only het pairing tagged for April on the site. By contrast, Huey has several other het pairings on the site, most if not all stemming from DuckTales 2017. These include pairing him with Lena Sabrewing (see Huelena), Violet Sabrewing (see Huelet), and with Gosalyn Mallard (see Huelyn).
