How my love for Warrior Nun ended up getting me a published novel

So like many of us, i am a huge fan of Warrior Nun. Like a somewhat smaller number of us, I am a big Doctor Superion shipper. Can't be helped. Mature ladies getting it together is my jam. I have written fic about them and of course a lot of Avatrice and Lilshotgun.

Anyway, I saw this picture of Thekla Reuten and

I thought "oooo, detective!"

Not long after, I encountered this photo of Sylvia Defanti:

And I thought, "ooo, detective wife! Wait no! DETECTIVE EX-WIFE!"

And then I thought, what if ART Detectives?? Picture them chasing an art thief around Europe while bickering and lowkey sniping at each other and falling back in love despite themselves and their whole opposites-attract yin/yang thing?

Plus, you know, Europe:

The more I thought about the idea, though, the more I realized I needed to change the characters too much for it to work as a fic. So because I was writing a lot of screenplays at the time, I wrote it as a screenplay. Let me tell you about these women...

Fleur van Beekhof

So yeah, you can see the shades of Jillian, obviously: cool, pragmatic, strategic and unflappable on the outside. Inside, a total disaster: heartbroken, career stagnating, struggling with a gambling addiction and still not over her ex-wife,

Renata Cellini

Renata quit the bureau after their divorce and went to manage a friend's art gallery in Bologna. She's passionate, sometimes harsh, wears everything out on her sleeve and is 100% in it for the drama, leaping into danger and looking annoyingly hot while doing so. She's Fleur's sole choice for all 3 options of "f*ck marry kill."

The only thing that could bring her back to the bureau is the "Fabulous Gustave," the one thief who got away from them, whose escape precipitated Fleur's gambling problem and the unraveling of their marriage.

What's more, he stole a painting by her favorite painter, the one she did her Master's thesis on: "Susanna and the Elders," by Artemisia Gentileschi.

(Artemisia btw was a badass, a baroque master not fully recognized in her day. She painted women like nobody else... with fury and agency. "Yo check out the head of the Assyrian general who was creeping on me, I just saved my people, you're welcome."

Anyway, ahem.)

So I had this movie written. The thing about movies, is they take forever to get made, if they do at all. And I adore these women and this story too much, so I adapted it into a novel, and on a hail-mary pass, sent it to one of the bigger sapphic publishers I knew of.

THEY SAID YES.

Look! In all its pre-orderable glory!

The women of Warrior Nun have been and continue to be an inexhaustible fountain of inspiration.

And also, if you feel like it, please support my novel.

Warrior Nun truly is the most fucked up fucking show in the whole fucking world isn't it

Thecla (Ancient Greek: Θέκλα, Thékla; Greek: Θέκλα; Turkish: Tekla) was a saint of the early Christian Church, and a reported follower of Paul the Apostle. The earliest record of her life comes from the ancient apocryphal Acts of Paul and Thecla.

In one scene, female beasts, particularly lionesses, protected her against her male aggressors.

It is also said that Thecla spent the rest of her life in Maaloula, a village in Syria. There, she became a healer and performed many miracles...

...but remained constantly persecuted.

In one instance, as her persecutors were about to get to her, she called out to God, a new passage was opened in the cave she was in, and the stones closed behind her.

Around AD 280, Thecla features as one of the characters in Methodius of Olympus' Symposium, in which she displays considerable knowledge of profane philosophy, various branches of literature, and eloquent yet modest discourse. Methodius states that she received her instruction in divine and evangelical knowledge from Paul, and was eminent for her skill in sacred science ("Logos 8").

According to some scholars, Thecla's story inspired many later stories of women saints who dressed as men

All of these women were empowered by Thecla, a woman who did things that not many women would ever dare to do

In Spanish-speaking countries, she is also facetiously counted as the patron saint of computers and Internet, from the homophony with the Spanish and Catalan word tecla ("key").[citation needed]

it's hilarious watching s1 now and Ava telling Jillian that after they're done with the experiments Jillian has to leave her alone forever. As if in s2 Jillian's private home doesn't become the personal rotating door for the OCS.

Hi Jillian. I know it's the middle of the night, but i could really use your help figuring out this demon shit. Oh hi Jillian. we just robbed a museum, stole a van, are fleeing from the cops and also your dead son is here???

Oh, Jillian. You don't mind us planning to kill an angel and dismantling a worldwide cult in your basement do you? great. there's reinforcement on the way btw could you be a doll and let them in. also if you could spare any of your technology that'd be great. thanks Jill, you're the best.

like. if only Jillian knew how much these little shits would come and disrupt her sleep, day, life, she would've asked Ava the same in return lmao.

wish you would've built a time machine instead of a quantum portal now, huh?

Thekla Reuten showed so much range as Jillian Salvius, the boss-babe genius scientist of S1 who gave way to the desperate, grieving mother of S2. I always wished we'd gotten more of her interacting with Beatrice. What must S1 Jillian have made of this brilliant young woman who could be doing almost anything, but was serving the Church? Well, I wrote this right here.

Sacrilege and Math

You’re much too sharp for that dull gray habit.

A mind as keen as yours should be slashing at the edges on the forefronts of technology, biology, genetics.

You belong breaking boundaries, being lauded, loved and feared. Perhaps a diplomat? I could picture that. Quiet but effective and revered.

Sister, who convinced you that your life was only meant for humble cloth? That the best use of your body was a weapon for your god? That the fullness of humanity would never be for you?

I know it’s not my business. I just hate to see a waste of brilliance.

I could lead you by the elbow down the corridors of power into rooms of opportunity. Imagine how together we could elevate humanity?

I could show you where the liminal connects with the transcendent. We could decipher it together. It would be splendid.

You could even keep your crucifix if you insisted, keep praying to your angel whose number is unlisted. God could be the place we stored the science that we couldn’t yet explain. But I know that’s not your path, all this sacrilege and math. And I won’t try to convince you. It’s just a shame.
