Rating: Mature [R]
Word Count: 46,912
Summary: Gideon Sise, Cavalier Secondary to Palamedes Sextus, isn't sure about this 'extraordinary opportunity' to travel to the reclusive and secretive Ninth House on a good faith, research trip with her adept and fellow Cav. The Reverend Daughter is... well, Gideon wasn't sure what she was expecting, but it wasn't that.

Recommendation: Comment Hiatus ~ A partial hiatus in that I'll post a rec but I won't do the write up because I'm really behind and real life is getting in my way.

Title: Kiss Me, Idiot

Pairing: Gideon Nav/Harrowhark Nonagesimus
Rating: Teen [PG]
Word Count: 4,373
Summary: "Harrow," Gideon said carefully, desperate to avoid the something but seeing no recourse but to address this development. "Harrow, are you... jealous of Dulcinea?" Even through the gloom Gideon could see Harrow's scraggly stick-like figure stiffen with indignation. She could practically feel the heat from the dark embers of the Reverend Daughter's eyes, a boiling, seething, reasonless rage. Crow-talon fingers clutched the blankets around her in a death grip. "Of course I'm jealous of Dulcinea, you yellow-eyed imbecile," hissed Harrowhark.

Recommendation: Comment Hiatus ~ A partial hiatus in that I'll post a rec but I won't do the write up because I'm really behind and real life is getting in my way.

Title: Faster, Love, Than You And Me

Author: lighterdenial

Canon: The Locked Tomb

Pairing: Gideon Nav/Harrowhark Nonagesimus

Rating: Explicit [NC-17]

Word Count: 14,813

Summary: John Gaius never extended the invitations to Canaan House and never called for new Lyctors. Gideon Nav's ninetieth escape attempt was successful, and she enlisted in the Cohort and never heard from Harrowhark Nonagesimus again. Five years later, Captain Nav receives a distress call from the Ninth, and everything she's worked hard for is thrown into question.

Recommendation: Oh dear Jod, this was so good. And despite the presence of bones and necromancy it is surprisingly close to a Hallmark movie plot. Local girl returns successful to reunited with childhood sweetheart (enemy, frenemy?).

Rating: General [G]

Summary: A Pacific Rim au, because what are cavaliers and necromancers if not the ultimate drift compatible duo. Dedicated to the Gideon the Ninth discord, as this is their fault.

Recommendation: These two are of course drift compatible. I love the merged details from the Locked Tomb with Pacific Rim, very well done. And the ending. Oh man.

Title: Kiss Like Real People Do

Author: groundedsaucer

Canon: The Locked Tomb

Pairing: Gideon Nav/Harrowhark Nonagesimus

Rating: Explicit [NC-17]

Word Count: 5,759

Summary: “This was completely unnecessary,” Harrow says, the this in question being Gideon’s fist fight with a handful of Edenite recruits overheard making unsavory remarks about Harrow in a crowded corridor. Gideon hadn’t even started the fight, technically, but when she told the offending parties to shut their mouths, it turned physical, and she wasn’t complaining about the chance to show a few assholes what happens when they take a stab--verbal or otherwise--at her necromancer. --- Having undone the Lyctoral process, Gideon and Harrow find they have some things to work out.

Recommendation: I love that Gideon's actual instincts are all cav instincts despite it no longer being official. I love that Harrow is VERY interested in them being on equal footing. So much goodness.

Title: True Love's Kiss, or Something Equally Nauseating
Author: corpsesoldier
Canon: The Locked Tomb
Pairing: Gideon Nav/Harrowhark Nonagesimus
Rating: Teen [PG]
Word Count: 4,657
Summary: She was where she needed to be. She was going to pull her necro out of this godforsaken tomb, end the game of musical bodies they were playing, and then everything would be all right. Harrow would be alive. And Gideon was going to give her shit for approximately the next myriad for not just taking what she’d offered and saving them a whole lot of trouble.

Recommendation: Oh man, oh man, oh man, this BETTER be where we are heading, or thereabouts. I want everyone in their own body and Gideon and Harrow need to make with the smooches. Amen.

Title: One End
Author: jessalae
Canon: The Locked Tomb
Pairing: Gideon Nav/Harrowhark Nonagesimus
Rating: Explicit [NC-17]
Word Count: 4,019
Summary: “Harrow,” Gideon croaked, mouth dry. God, she looked so tiny. Petite. Like Gideon could pick her up with one arm. Why had Gideon never tried that before? Why was she actually considering trying it now? “I don’t think that’s rust on the door.”

Recommendation: Hot damn, the proverbial sex pollen trope. *chef's kiss* I do appreciate that they both establish that they'd be interested regardless so then it's all just hotness.

Summary: Had Harrow ever looked at Gideon and felt pride before? Surely not. It sat like a tumor in her chest, a cancerous lump that had grown where it did not belong. ~ Harrow stumbles upon Gideon's duel with the Third.

Recommendation: I love those fights being from Harrow's prospective, Gideon is just so badass when you can't hear what she is thinking. ;D

Summary: Her Divine Highness has dreamed for years of the Ninth, including its Lady. When her father arranges a ball for the House heirs she finally gets the opportunity to meet with her obsession face to face.

Recommendation: Ack, another they meet at a ball! But I could not resist. I love that literally all the members of all the other houses that talk with Gideon for two seconds know that she is gone over Harrow. This is only a surprise to the little bone-goblin princess, lol. I love Pyrrha. Really, I loved this one so much too.

Summary: Harrow has a decision to make.

Recommendation: Ah, an outcome that doesn't include body swapping, sign me up! I love Gideon just shacking off what would kill anyone else, that's very on brand for her. And I love the thought of all the surviving ladies banding together.

Summary: Gideon and Harrow go to Canaan House with a slightly healthier relationship, and almost nobody gets murdered. They still manage to find a lot of angst.

Recommendation: YASSSS! There is ~c o m m u n i c a t i o n~ and it is a glorious thing. They get through things SO much faster when they are on the same page because they work together so well, and that is just the best.

Rating: Teen [PG]
Word Count: 22,024
Summary: While taking a break (not hiding out) from the ball to find Her Divine Highness a spouse, Harrow meets a red-haired guard wearing sunglasses and slacking off from her duties. On the other hand, Gideon meets the Reverend Daughter of Drearbruh and suddenly has a reason to dance at the ball.

Recommendation: Oh my God (or Jod), this was so delightful! I love Harrow being her absolute bitchy best and Gideon being all, I need more of this bone gremlin pronto. I love Gideon pulling Harrow into her friend circle. And I love that they get to fulfill a little destiny without body-swapping to hell and back. That was fun, lol.

Summary: Two girls, newly emotional, in wet clothes? Gideon’s read a lot of pornography. There’s a way these things go.
And where the faint glimmer of maybe getting laid yet burns, there too goes Gideon Nav. ~ Pool Scene Redux.

Recommendation: I'm BACK! And ready for Femslash February having finally given in and read the perfection that is Gideon the Ninth. Ahh, childhood enemies to lovers, my beloved. Lol. If only the pool scene had gone this way. *eyebrow waggles*
