fifth-absorbs-the-ninth!au from abigail's perspective as she slowly realises that a) the ninth is being run by half a dozen pensioners and a traumatised preteen; b) the only other preteen on the planet is apparently both their indentured servant (bad) and the first preteen's emotional support chew toy (bad??); c) the cavalier primary is a great poet and a terrible cavalier (sidenote: abigail would fucking LOVE ortus did you sEE her husband??!?!); d) this place is haunted as FUCK including by a vengeful milf; and e) these children need a parent ASAP
cut to abi and magnus trying to surreptitiously adopt the two most feral children they've ever seen without spooking them and also ortus

a buried and a burning flame. Coronabeth fucks Gideon's corpse. Rated E.
For all intents and purposes the corpse of the Ninth’s cavalier is a bad lay. That’s all fine, though.

Only Lyctors were meant to leave the First House alive. Ianthe insists on bringing Coronabeth; Judith dies of her injuries. Camilla is stranded alone at Canaan House — alone, except for the persistent hallucinations of her necromancer.

I (20F) told my dad (45?M) that I wanted a cool birthday party, but he threw me a terrible birthday party instead. Am I really the asshole for telling him I didn't like it?

motherhood. Mercymorn uses flesh magic on Wake. Hate sex ensues. Body horror, motherhood as violence, canon compliant. Rated E.
“I will kill you,” you say, with all the placid fervor of a religious convert. When you’re on the edge of real violence, you lose that tense little furrow in your brow—it’s beautiful, really. “Please give me a reason.”

“Warden,” she said patiently, “you want me so badly it’s making you stupid."
RISKING OUR LIVES FOR UNIVERSITY HOLE???? 🤯😳 University AU, Team 69. The hole is a basement to be clear! Rated T.
The difficult part of visiting the local haunted house for a feature in the university magazine is not actually the visiting; it’s the writing about it afterwards.
So Messed Up. Ianthe/Coronabeth. Puppy play, collars & leashes, tail plug. Rated E.
Ianthe using her flesh magic to give Corona a big cock for petplay because she loves the idea of her sister being a big dicked bimbo puppy girl who just wants to rut into her.
The Great Gamete Gambit. Camilla & Palamedes, Pre-canon, worldbuilding, sixth house reproductive practices. Rated G.
Palamedes and Camilla have an important package to send, but there's been a heist in the gamete repository! Can the 15-year-old Master Warden and his cavalier crack the case?
The Sextus Scandal. Camilla/Palamedes, Epistolary, Pre-Canon Divergence. Rated E.
Transcripts and documents relating to the disciplinary hearing and subsequent resignation of Master Warden Palamedes Sextus.
Ways to Be Perfect. Babs/Colum Asht, GtN era, Rated M.

Griddlehark historical au idea: Princ(ess) Kiriona Gaia wants to escape an arranged marriage, joins a convent and gets baptized under the name Gideon Nav, by the abbess of the convent, Reverend Daughter Harrowhark Nonagesimus. Nunly hijinks ensue.
Is this anything? I don’t know enough about like, historical catholisism to write it with confidence, but it feels like it could be a thing.

One of my favorite TLT fanon details is that Gideon likes to cook. There’s this consensus among the modern aus that she’s good cook and I support it.

i.
For almost ten thousand years Alecto dreams in her tomb.
Underwater she dreams of the moment when the sky fell and she fell with it as death approached in the raiments of love. Pale horse, child, lover, devourer, whose hunger she had unknowingly ignited and who had eaten her half and sepulchred her half, made her monstrous grotesque meat.
A cage she had despised for she knew not its language or its comforts. She dreams of the day when she will see him again, she kens that even eternity cannot part them and what are ten thousand years to the four billion since her accretion? The tomb will open. No slumber lasts forever.
As long as he lives, so will she and with each passing minute in the myriad, her anticipation grows. She murmurs in her frozen slumber:
What have you done to me and mine?
and
I still love you
and
You have not seen what rage I carry.
Not yet.
ii.
Godhood is ravenous. From the very moment of conception when he first moved the bodies to the orgiastic death of the nine planets he devoured, John Gaius knows.
What could compare to such gluttony? What could sate him but more, until he has made his way from planet to planet, until he has eaten the whole universe? Would the blackness of space hold him in his hunger? Would—after he has meted out punishment at last and destroyed the progeny of those first traitors—would he sit surfeited in the dark of his creation? Or would even then the appetite come back to him?
He feeds himself on prayer and cares not to answer them. But what god ever has?
He knows it like a man feeding a forest fire.
Hunger is eternal.

1/5+1
Words had never been Camilla's main wield. She started walking at just shy of 8 months old and talking some time after she had passed age 3, by which point her sweating dads had long memorized every developmental timeline that Genetics had to offer for toddlers. Her sense of balance was, they joked nervously, just that exceptional - one milestone in the first percentile and one in the 99th in dramatic symmetry.
(This joke was, maybe, also her first and most formative encounter with standard deviations and long-term data collection.)
Palamedes, it turned out, was almost the equal and exact opposite – talking just about immediately and toddling just about nowhere, though having a captive audience suited his mother well enough until he absorbed enough for his return volleys to start vexing her; his father, fortunately, had patience enough for all three – and thus they were in this regard, too, a matched set.
Which made her current state of imbalance all the more intractable and all the more intolerable – she, the photo negative of a god-killing star, fumbling in an endlessly empty gravity well too deep for light to escape.
Or sound, for that matter – so while she figured out (because she had to) how to cross the horizon of an event she still couldn't think about, everything else met silence.
It wasn't, as she later told her dads, that she couldn't speak. They were understandably concerned that her head tilts and restless feet might belie limitations in cognitive development, other metrics for the Sixth to mark down, other disambiguations in her life path before she reached the fork that led to someone who could tell that those, too, were communication.
It wasn't, as she vaguely registered a nameless Blood of Eden medic shining a penlight into her eyes, that she couldn't reply when asked "how many fingers am I holding up?" – it's that some stars were still too bright to look at directly, and beyond that, sight didn't matter yet. Nothing else mattered yet, words least of all.
It's that she needed a reason to want to be deeply and urgently understood –
Her first words came in a complete sentence, spoken in the newly-encountered presence of one Palamedes Sextus and to the eternal surprise of their collective fathers.
Her last words to him were –
She couldn't remember.
"I said, how many fingers – ugh, this is pointless."
She didn't have the reason, and neither did any of them.

Would it be possible to hear more of your thoughts about the 5th absorbs the ninth au?
oh my god YES
i'm so deep in my tlt bre fic or i would already be writing this because i LOVE this au and will soon be reading EVERY fic with this concept (some of which are linked in the notes of the original post)
so i imagine this taking place a short while after harrow opens the tomb, a year or two at most
harrow is equal parts devastated w grief and fanatic with adoration for the body in the tomb
she is also NOT in the mood for the ninth to be absorbed by the fifth and is ready to fuckin throw down
of course by throw down, harrow means "glare at them until they go away and also bones" bc she's twelve and that's really all she can do
fifth's first trip to the ninth:
abigail: hel- those people are dead
harrow, currently manipulating the corpses of her parents: (drops from the ceiling like batman) begone, invaders, you are not- griddle!
gideon, who Should Not be there but saw a sword and thought "fuck it": (walks up to magnus) fight me old man
magnus and abigail immediately decide to adopt these children
magnus starts sparring with gideon and getting his ass handed to him, much to aiglamene's delight
abigail begins the daunting task of Earning Harrowhark Nonagesimus' Trust
she explains she doesn't actually want to take over the ninth and harrow can have it once she's eighteen
this inadvertently offends harrow and sets them back a month
the fifth quickly pick up that ortus is Not Into this whole cav business and make the pretty obvious connection that gideon should be harrow's cav and the equally obvious connection that both girls would Rather Die
cut to quinn and pent's epic quest to trick two preteens into accepting the fifth as their caregivers and becoming cav and necromancer
they also become the world's most awkward wingmen
magnus, during a sparring session: say, the reverend daughter looked very regal this morning, didn't she?
gideon, who has already adopted this man as a father figure: what the fuck mags how could you betray me like this
ortus is either besties with the fifth or actually fucking them like abigail pent would one hundred percent take one look at this chubby eloquent caring inept motherfucker and be like I Want That Bear Obliterated
at some point they get it into their heads that the girls need peer engagement so they bring jeanne and isaac to visit
harrowhark nonagesimus, who has never met a person younger than her, watching a nine-year-old jeannemary chatur vibrate with excitement: what the FUCK is That
gideon nav, whose only experience with people younger than her is harrow: what the FUCK is That

Sexy EVIL COUGAR MINDFUCKS handsome YOUNG VIRGIN butch through the power of ROMANCE NOVELS.
Or: Gideon gets to kiss Dulcinea Septimus, and then some. And then she kind of wishes she hadn't.
Rated E, 4k, Cytherea-typical manipulation and dubcon galore
Cytherea/Gideon, Cytherea-as-Dulcinea
Tagged: Praise Kink, Manipulation, Coercion, Pussy Spanking, Object Penetration, Dubious Consent Due To Identity Issues, Cytherea's Romance Novels, GtN Era
“Are all Ninth House girls like you? Strong, silent… chivalrous.” Dulcinea dimpled and shifted on the cushions that Gideon had arranged for her. She grinned, bright and breathless. “So devout.”
(written for consent issues exchange 2023 for the one and only @augustmourn)

Harrowhark Nonagesimus is getting a PhD and a divorce.
Against her better judgment, she goes out to the bar to celebrate and meets an incorrigible, absolutely ripped salt-and-paprika butch who takes her home and gives it to her good. To her horror, it's the best night of her life, and she sneaks home with her tail between her legs.
Harrow has more important things to worry about - like raising her daughter and building the next stages of her career. But when her daughter's favorite teacher, someone named Griddle, turns about to be the Gideon she met at the bar, she's forced to contend with allowing herself (and her daughter) to find the happy ending she never thought they'd have.
Featuring MILF!Harrow, Teacher!Gideon, and a very amused Camilla Hect.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind
So this post by @thing-with-wings gave me fic inspo and I banged this out in one (1) hour! I might post this on ao3 tomorrow but I have to got to bed now :) Title is from A Midsummer Night’s Dream :)
When Palamedes talks about his old body, it takes everything Pyrrha has to keep herself from asking what he used to look like.
She’s always judged by appearances. It’s a particularly ironic fault of hers, now that she looks like someone she so pointedly isn’t. It’s even more ironic, now that she thinks about it, how Gideon was always the one to remind her of it. He was good at it, too. He knew that his faith, once placed, was blind and unwavering, so he made sure to place it in the right people.
And Gideon’s faith never came back to bite him in the ass, of course.
Palamedes is like that. He has so much faith. He says he’s a realist, but that boy’s optimism is incurable. Maybe it comes from growing up on the Nine Houses, but it’s incredible to Pyrrha how he believes, after everything, that it’ll all turn out. His faith isn’t in a person, like Gideon’s was. It’s in fate.
Why shouldn’t it be? He blew himself into pieces, most of which are apparently in a coffin on the First House, and he’s walking around on New Rho a year later. As far as Palamedes should be concerned, he’s invincible.
It’s all Camilla’s doing. The only reason he’s walking around on New Rho is because she allows him. She’s letting him live rent-free in her soul.
Does Palamedes know? Can he know the full extent of what that girl has done for him? Does he give her credit for carrying him through a universe of death and pain and uncertainty, or for the prerequisite of devotion that that comes with? Or does he thank fate, like he does for everything else?
Or maybe he thanks fate for giving him Cam. He loves her so much, there’s no way for him to ignore her entirely.
Lucky boy. Lucky girl. It’s nice to wholeheartedly believe in someone that wholeheartedly believes in you.
She knows he used to wear glasses. Nobody who didn’t wear glasses would incessantly push nothing up their nose, or reach for nothing to cover when it rained. She knows he was taller than Cam, because he instinctively ducks when going through doorways that Camilla’s body fits through. And he was a necromancer. He’s a necromancer, but he used to have the body of one.
Tall and skinny, gaunt and bespectacled, and maybe twenty. College-age.
God, Pyrrha thinks, he must’ve been such a dork in school.
It might be bad, but she can’t help but picture Palamedes as Camilla, only with those modifications. Her face is boyish, and it’s so easy to imagine her with glasses. In her mind, they’re teenagers, running in the halls of the Sixth, books in hand. Late to class.
Camilla’s beautiful. She’s got a face like Nigella had, only not quite as dark. John would say she looks Middle Eastern, and he’d laugh when someone asked the middle of the East of what House, Lord?
Palamedes can’t have had that same face, that face that looks as if it were cut from paper. But Pyrrha doesn’t trust herself to come up with something right, so she relies on Camilla’s face to be his face as well.
Camilla’s easy to rely on. She never goes halfway, and if she loves you she’ll always be in your corner. Her faith is more like Gideon’s. She’d do anything in the name of devotion, but she covers her bases while doing it. She makes sure that everything will work out.
Maybe that’s why she and Palamedes fit so well. He trusts her with everything he has, and she loves him the same way. She’s his lifeline, and he’s her touchstone. A planet and its moon.
Pyrrha’s so fucking jealous. She’d kill to have something like that, but it’s out of the question. She’s no good at loving, and she’s worse at trusting. She was the cavalier, so those should’ve been her specialty, but Gideon took care of both.
She can manage just fine on her own. It’s another fault of hers.

Nav is a niner name, and not exactly a princely one. John is no stranger to coming up with new names for his loved ones.
(AKA Gideon gets a new name!)

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: The Locked Tomb Trilogy | Gideon the Ninth Series - Tamsyn Muir Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Gideon Nav/Harrowhark Nonagesimus, Gideon Nav & Harrowhark Nonagesimus Characters: Gideon Nav, Harrowhark Nonagesimus, Aiglamene (Locked Tomb Trilogy) Additional Tags: Chef AU, Humor, future relationship, Crack Treated Seriously, Banter, Alternate Universe - Modern Setting Summary:
Gideon Nav only wanted one thing: to escape The Locked Tomb and become a chef on her own. Well... perhaps she wanted two things but neither were within her reach. But maybe, just maybe, she could put away her distaste for Harrowhark Nonagesimus and win the Lyctorhood side by side with her.
It’s almost a Cooking Show AU
