Summary
Edwin Payne was the best necromancer the Fifth House had ever produced. Death had touched his hands and his mouth and his eyes, had cradled his skull and marked him as its favourite son. He had plumbed depths of Fifth House history that had slumbered untouched for centuries, mining long-forgotten seams of knowledge. He had bled for it, starved for it, broken himself open and hollowed himself out. He had made a home of himself for spirit magic, his legs its foundations and his ribcage its vaulted ceiling. He had spoken with the dead, and he had walked the River.
Which was why it was so embarrassing that he was about to be murdered in his bed by some two-bit thug.
Seventy-three years after he was pushed into the River, a liminal place filled with hungry ghosts, Edwin Payne has finally succeeded in clawing his way out. All he wants is to be left alone with his research, but to his dismay, the head of his House insists he take a cavalier to protect him – and to make sure he’s behaving himself. But not everyone is happy to hear that Edwin’s back, and when an attempt on his life by the very man who pushed him into the River all those years ago almost ends in tragedy, it’s time to get even.

Summary
More then a thousand years before the sorrow of Harrowhark Nonagesimus: before the call for new Lyctors, before the razing of Canaan House, before the opening of the Locked Tomb...
A solider of the Ninth returns from the Front with a red headed babe cradled in his arms. A solar wind blows across the planet's icy surface. Not the beginning. But a beginning.
The Dragon rides again on the winds of time.
Or,
Rand al'Thor might not have a Niner name, but he wishes for nothing more then to honor and serve his House, protect it from danger and elevate it's glory.
And then a boy with a sly fox like smile falls into his life and changes everything.

L didn’t know what the relief meant. He could only tilt his head, blinking eyelids whose blood vessels had only just started existing. “What did you do to me?”
The boy shook his head, though L didn’t know if it was for the sake of communication or just clearing his own head. “Drink this first.”

Summary
The Emperor has called for necromancers; the best of the best. Every good necromancer needs a swordsman. It's a shame not many of them survived the trip over—but sometimes you've got to make do with what you've got.
Walking the path to immortality isn't an easy process. Uncovering the identity of a shadowy murderer isn't much better. The basement is full of ghosts, hands are crawling from the walls, and terrible secrets are hiding in each and every room.
...Thomas really should have gone to that wedding while he still had the chance.

Summary
Thedas is being terrorized by an old, familiar threat: The Resurrection Dragons.
Unlike ordinary dragons, they cannot be killed by mortals. The only people who can kill these 'Castrum Draconis' are Nevarran Lyctor-Saints, led by the Undying King. As the South continues to fight Corypheus, the Undying King has called for another Lyctor Trails, after the last one ended nearly a decade prior with no explanation.
Emmrich Volkarin finds himself chosen as the first 'Commoner' Lyctor-Heir, but instead of Agnes Gallatus becoming his Cavalier, Ishtar Ingellvar is picked for him. Through a small and nearly forgotten ruling, Agnes Gallatus is allowed to accompany Emmrich as he and his new Cavalier undergo the trails.
"… But should we learn of Ms Gallatus intervention in the trials, be it to help or hinder, Mr Volkarin will be stripped of rank, life, and burial rites.”
— On behalf of the Undying King, His Royal Majesty and Living Blade in service to the Maker, his Bride, and the nation of Nevarra, King Markus Calogera Sacrimoni Phillipe Pentaghast -

Summary
“Say, slug,” Dazai said, looking up from his book. “What do you think about medical necromancy?”
Chuuya wrinkled his nose. He’d been busy polishing his knives in their free time, and had not expected such an asinine question.
“Seems like a pretty big contradiction, if you ask me,” he said. Then, he squinted at the boy in front of him. “Is this about Odasaku?”
The Duke of Rhodes was named Oda Sakunosuke, and he was the kindest person Dazai had ever had the fortune of interacting with. He was also, like all Seventh House heirs, dying. Slowly, of hereditary blood cancer. Beautifully, if the House was to be believed, because there was no necromancer at the height of their power like one who was actively dying.
OR: a locked tomb au wherein a a necro/cav pair exchange letters with dying man who haunts the narrative.

Summary
When the bombs dropped, the resulting devastation created such a huge thanergic spike that all life was irrevocably changed. Certain individuals are able to harness that thanergic energy to perform necromantic theorems, aided by loyal cavaliers who function as soul-battery and catalyst.
There's no reason a necromancer from a free-wheeling community of ghouls, synths, mutants and reprobates should have anything in common with a cavalier unwillingly exiled from a fascist military organization.
Unfortunately, they have perfect synergy.

Summary
“Xin'er,” Xie Lian was still sobbing, pleading, begging. “Please, don't go, don't leave me — Xin'er, do you hear me? I can't lose you! Didn’t you say you would never leave me? Xin'er, you swore to me that you would never leave me! You promised!”
Each and every one of Xie Lian's words, her sobs, her screams, pierced Feng Xin like the sharpest and most cruel of bone blades.
Feng Xin's hands shook. Her vision was blurring now, her own eyes wet. She blinked and it spilled onto her cheeks, an endless sea of sorrow, an endless ocean of grief, Xie Lian's and hers both, and it tore at her, ripped her into bloody fucking shreds.
But there was no other choice.(The Locked Tomb AU for Fenglian Week 2025 Day 2: Magic/Scifi)

“Lord,” Amanda whispers, “What have you done?”
“I have done many things. All necessary things for our survival. All to lead us out of the desert.”
“Lord,” she whispers again, and her voice is hoarse underneath the whisper. “I’ve…I’ve seen Lawrence, where he lies. He still hasn’t woken. I saw the design of his experiment, the safeguards. I’ve seen Mark, who won’t say a word about the outcome. But I haven’t…My lord, where is Adam?”

Summary
When John raised them all from the ashes and dirt and toppled office buildings, he did not make them equal. His most loyal followers had been given a gift. Lawrence had earned a fraction of the same abilities John uses now, to raise walls of bone and speak to the dead.
Adam can’t do jack shit in terms of necro-bullshit. All his skills, like driving a stick shift and developing darkroom photographs, are obsolete in this new world.

Summary
Wei Wuxian is a servant of Lotus Hold, in the Ninth House, the smallest and most backwater planet of the Nine Houses. His life is pretty bleak (largely due to the Reverend Mother Lady Yu), although he usually keeps up his cheerful disposition. Then he meets Lan Wangji, and eventually, his life gets a lot better. But before it gets better, there will be an unimpressed Lan Qiren, homoerotic dueling, mutual pining, a really gross monster, clandestine vows, and skeletons — so many skeletons, both the kind made out of bones and the kind made out of secrets.
💀
Lan Wangji took a deep breath. "Wei Ying. I have come to pledge myself to you as your cavalier, if you will have me." His gaze bored into Wei Wuxian's soul (metaphorically, but it felt surprisingly similar to the one time he had accidentally undergone soul siphoning), and then Lan Wangji clenched his right hand into a fist and pressed it to his chest. "One flesh, one end."
"Oh, fuck," whispered Wei Wuxian.
