    Summary

    She couldn’t stop thinking about Harrow. Gideon had been helpless under Harrow’s touch, had been completely undone by her in a way that Gideon had never been before.
    “And here I thought I had some pride left,” Gideon said, and pressed the heels of her palms into her eyes until she saw stars. Was Gideon so horrifically down bad that she was just going to ignore the several thousand red flags that seemed to make up most of Harrow’s elemental composition?
    Yes. The answer was a resounding yes. Gideon would not lie to herself. She knew that if Harrow called her right now and asked Gideon to strip naked and bark like a dog for her, she’d do it.

    Gideon and Harrow are coworkers with an already strained relationship. A misunderstanding sends them hurtling from more-than-coworkers, less-than-friends into the fiery depths of a tumultuous situationship. Camilla and Palamedes have one question as they watch the workplace drama unfold: how long will they be able to keep this up?

    Summary

    It’s a wet, hot, Canadian summer, and our heroes are about to face their biggest challenge yet – wrangling a summer camp full of children. Harrow and Gideon eagerly approach life post-high school, Camilla and Palamedes savour their last summer working together at Camp New Rho, and Corona, oh, well she’s doing really great. She’s already got a good base tan going, and her new butterfly tattoo has healed nicely, eh?

    Except Harrow isn’t actually sure she’ll be able to afford university, and Gideon has no idea what she’s going to do next year. Camilla and Palamedes have their futures locked into place, and their first year of grad school well under their belt – but have begun to wonder where that leaves them as… friends? Roommates? Oh, and Judith keeps saying no to rubbing sunscreen on Corona’s back and it’s causing a lot of tension, so she should probably just do it, right??

    Summary

    Harrow turns 30. She doesn't take it great.

    South Brooklyn Thirtysomething Gay Soap Opera AU. Come for the trauma, stay for the drama.

    Gideon's a successful Tik-Tok trainer, South Brooklyn's greatest fuckboy, and Harrow's long-term live-in dog. Harrow is a burned out gifted and talented kid trying to get her shit together while exploring another side of herself after years as a total dom. Ianthe's a tech trans Twitter doll trying to start over after pissing everybody off her entire 20s with mixed results. Paul's definitely solved all of their problems now that they've transitioned.

    Watch people torment themselves and their loved ones trying to live up to themselves and make bad life choices as they give polyamory a bad name. There's a lot of kinky queer sex in this, but most of it is about people getting their feelings hurt.

    Summary

    Making a home for the Locked Tomb theories I've written about elsewhere! Mostly focused on the Third and Sixth Houses

    Including:
    The Nona-to-Corona Connection: how Nona's entire household might have been our queer-affirming foil to the Third
    How Gideon Maybe, Personally, Totally Ruined Everything for the Third, and Other Notes on Tern and the Tridentarii
    The Harrow and Naberius Friendship Power Hour (A completely serious proposal concerning Dante's Inferno)
    The Matthias Nonius Fan Convention Needs Cosplayers and Naberius Tern’s Body is Ready (continuously updated, too many implications to deal with)
    unhinged theory about the Hot Sauce Gang and their art (massive series spoilers)
    Immaculate vibes: Close reading of the Third's first scene in GtN (Babs gives Corona the silent treatment?)

    Just added: Civil Unrest and Fan Culture in the Third House (Naberius Tern, accidental people's hero?)

    Summary

    Prince Ianthe Naberius loses her self, soul, and sanity—not that anyone has time for that.

    Also, Paul got a little more touched by permeability of the soul than intended and might be thinking about the Tridentarii too much. (They blame their predecessors.)

    Summary

    Gideon Nav and Harrowhark Nonagesimus have hated each other since they were young children. Much to their disappointment, they've ended up at the same college. Even worse, they are in the same major and are in the same group for a project worth 60% of their grade. Will they be able to put their hatred aside for the sake of their grades? Or will something even more unexpected happen when they are forced to work together?

    Summary

    Harrow’s a forensic anthropologist. Ianthe’s a pathologist. They share a lab. It’s fine.

    Until Ianthe leaves her a body—something skinned and posed and clearly meant for her—and calls it a love letter.

    Now, Harrow’s trying to figure out what to do with a woman who is definitely a serial killer, her "therapist" twin sister, deranged childhood friend, and why the only thing she can think is:
    Shit, I think I love her back.

    Oh and of course, solve crime.

    Summary

    “I know there is no reason for you to trust me. You are my only hope, however, that any of this will survive what is coming next. I’m sorry if it is not to your taste. Please don’t leave it behind,” Naberius Tern said. He set a wrapped parcel on the table, turned, and said, “And tell Ortus that we are still friends, if you can, Ninth. At least one of you in that miserable pit—” before he sighed, and left.

    It was the last time we ever saw him alive.

    Inside the parcel were three books— the entire Noniad, rendered into three heavy volumes, bound with black leather and ornate gilding and glittering gemstones. One through eighteen, in the first and largest book; twenty-one through twenty-six, in the next largest book. The last, the twenty seventh volume, was barely more than a quarto— nine pages, nine verses, each of nine lines.

    And it is said that Paul decoded it, read it, laughed, and wept.

    Summary

    Gideon watched as a deep scowl formed on her face, one that only Harrow could make; ugly and vengeful. Immediately, both of them recognized their childhood whipping-girl. The faces they had bruised their own knuckles against, the bodies they had dragged through the mud.

    “Nonagesimus.”

    “Nav,” Harrow snarled.

    Gideon smacked a calloused hand over her eyes, dragging it down her face as she grumbled, “You have GOT to be fucking kidding me.”

    ———

    After a few years’ time since graduation from Drearburh Boy’s Catholic School, Gideon and Harrow meet again at Canaan University. Except, there’s a major difference — both of them are girls.

    Summary

    Another look into the dreams we all know and love, this time coming at you in the form of Beauty and the Beast! Our intrepid protagonist is a lonely girl with no prospects but her gigantic muscles and willingness to love and serve, and the object of her affections (eventually)? A beast, hidden away from the world in the dark, with powers beyond compare that, unfortunately, can never make her accept herself. Or give her the drive to change, for in this form is reflected who she truly is. This is what she deserves.
    Or is it? We readers know the answer without even opening the first page, and yet we find joy in watching them come to the same conclusion in their own way, again and again and again, along a path predetermined.

    Summary

    Canaan House was a small town nestled amongst the woods and hills of the Pacific Northwest. It had everything you would imagine such a town would be endowed with: a few diners, lumber mills and the like. It also, as these places are wont to do, had a sheriff.

    When Harrow investigates the sudden death of one of the residents, she will have to uncover hidden depths about the victim, the townsfolk and the mysterious research laboratory on the edge of town. A search for answers threatening to uncover truths that some would have preferred to remain buried is never easy and Harrow might just find herself in need of a familiar face.

    Summary

    “Tell me or kiss me, those are your options if you want in.” Ianthe had a hand on either side of the doorway, blocking it, as she smiled down at Harrow.

    “These terms are absurd. I cannot tell you my reasoning and I will not kiss you,” Harrow said.

    “Then you will never know the secrets to Lyctorhood and beyond, Ninth,” Ianthe said. Harrow turned as if she might walk away. “Oh come on, Harry, tell me you’re not afraid of a little tongue on tongue?”

    The mistress of the tomb stopped still, head bowed, and fists clenched. Then she abruptly came toward Ianthe.

    Summary

    On the night of the anniversary dinner, the Third and Sixth Houses end up working together—kind of, almost—with nearly good intentions to prove that neither of them were responsible for the deaths of Abigail Pent and Magnus Quinn.

    Or, Gideon Nav was not paying attention and did not notice the complex, Empire-shaking, absolutely stupid political drama unfolding around her the night of the murder investigation.

    Summary

    Gideon would have held her breath and paused if by some miracle she managed to scrape together a do-over. Harrow probably would have, too, just to avoid having to say anything. Lapsed into a comfortable silence again with their fingers entwined the two of them could sit and stare and wait and wait and wait, witness their entire lives stretched elastic before them: St. Samael’s and the horror of the last week-and-a-half fading distantly into the horizon behind.

    The stars currently floating above the elevator shaft were bright white and so sugary sweet they hurt Gideon’s teeth. No Southern Cross though— which sucked balls. She couldn’t really turn, either, to see if even a glimpse of it was visible from her second- (more likely third-) to-last resting place.

    Okay, fine, pedantics: the place where Gideon Nav was most definitely going to die.
