    Summary

    I [24F] call my best friend [23F] every pet name under the sun, and she’s only called me “darling” once when we were having makeup sex on her couch after this huge fight because she insisted on climbing to the top of this fucked up lighthouse and nearly broke her ass on a stair. Anyway, I’ve been trying to get her to say it again via sexual favours, chivalry, cooking, being generally hot and charming etc etc but none of it is working. (To be clear, the sex and cooking with her make me happy. It’s not like I’m just doing it so she calls me names.) Any advice appreciated. Thanks!

    -

    (Unsolved AU Gideon and Harrow get up to some shenanigans.)

    (Or: Brief “who ya gonna call” scenes that fit together in some capacity. Consider the loose main premise to be Gideon’s mission to get Harrow to call her “darling” again. Consider also that the author is unhinged, and that the stronger thread that binds these chapters together is Yearning and vague plot.)

    Summary

    Two idiots and one mildly criminal New Year’s Eve operation.

    (In which Harrow Nonagesimus has a score to settle, and Gideon comes along to make sure she doesn’t get her tiny ass stuck in an even tinier window. It’s definitely not because she likes her.)

    (OR: the “who ya gonna call?” art school prequel, but just the part where they put a tilapia in John’s office.)

    Summary

    “Fret not, honeybun.” Gideon shook her red hair out of her eyes, belligerent. “I’m not totally sold on your whole skepticism thing.”
    “Well,” Harrow said, ignoring the nickname. She turned to the rest of the room, clearing her throat politely before addressing the empty air. “Ghosts, if you’re real, give us a sign. Make a noise. Move something. Send a shiver down our backs. Whisper softly into Nav’s left ear—”
    “I seriously fucking hate you.”

    (Casual sex and paranormal investigation. Not necessarily in that order.)

    (or: the Buzzfeed Unsolved AU in which Gideon is ready to fight a ghost, and Harrow just wants to be haunted.)

    Summary

    "You’re a virgin,” Gideon said, testing it out. "Huh."

    Harrow didn’t like the sound of that huh. She knew Gideon’s noises, and that was a thoughtful, sinister huh. That was the same huh she’d made before putting canned tuna in Crux’s work boots.

    Her eyes narrowed. “What.”

    Gideon cocked her head to the side. “Is there a reason you’re waiting?” There was no judgement in the question— only genuine curiosity.

    Perhaps it was this that made Harrow more inclined to answer. “I don’t have the time to look for someone new,” She shrugged. “And my available pool is… somewhat limited.”

    “Well,” Gideon said, with just a hint of conspiracy in those glittering golden eyes. “If you ever want to change that, you have my number.”

    What? What?

    Harrow blinked. “What?”

    Or: the five times Gideon and Harrow successfully bone, and the one time they don't.

    Summary

    “Gideon,” said Palamedes with the patience of a saint, “the rules are the rules. It wouldn’t be fair if I changed them just for you. In a well ordered society—

    “It’s not a well ordered society.” Gideon knew where that was going, and she certainly didn’t have the time. She slapped a slip of paper onto the counter and said, “It’s secret santa.”

    And there lay the source of all of her problems: handwritten in a script so neat and precise it could have been printed, Harrowhark Nonagesimus. And everyone knew that Gideon and Harrow hated each other.

    So what if they had started taking smoke breaks together? So what if Harrow had helped her fold shirts just last week, in a store she didn’t even work in? So what if Harrow had laughed as the two of them did Jagerbombs at Palamedes’ Halloween party, the glint of her fake fangs flashing invitingly in the orange party lights? They hated each other. The two of them would both work in the mall until one of them inevitably strangled the other with her bare hands, and Gideon wouldn’t have it any other way.

    Except that lately, Gideon had started to like Harrow.

    Which made that slip of paper a fucking problem.
