the evolution of gideon describing harrow smiling in gideon the ninth: a comprehensive collection

Then Harrow cocked her head to the side like a quizzical bird and smiled a tiny, contemptuous smile. (Chapter 2)

The necromancer could not hide a triumphant smile. It stretched her mouth and made her split lips bleed. The sight was incomparably creepy. (Chapter 14)

Harrow’s lips curled. They showed her teeth, stained slightly pink with blood. She smiled again—slower than before, just as terrible, just as strange. (Chapter 14)

Harrowhark smiled. This smile was unusual too: it betokened conspiracy, which was normal, except that this one invited Gideon to be part of it. Her eyes glowed like coals with sheer collusion. Gideon didn’t know if she could handle all these new expressions on Harrow: she needed a lie down. (Chapter 16)

A small, astonished smile creased her mouth. The smile transformed her face into an affliction of beauty that Gideon had heretofore managed to ignore. (Chapter 32)

Gideon looked over her shoulder at her, and caught the Reverend Daughter’s smile. There was blood sweat coming out of her left ear, but her smile was long and sweet and beautiful. (Chapter 36)

The Reverend Daughter of the Ninth House smiled, tiny and triumphant. Then she keeled into Gideon’s arms. Gideon stumbled, sick with terror, kneeling them both down to the ground as Harrow lay like a broken rag doll. She forgot her sword, forgot everything as she cradled her used-up adept. She forgot the wrecked ligaments in her sword arm, her messed-up knee, the cups of blood she’d lost, everything but that tiny, smouldering, victorious smile. (Chapter 36)

hii no idea if you've gotten this already b/c i've been offline recently but: Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💗

Hello! Thanks for the ask! Let's see here...

like a phantom limb. If you've ever been reading a no-crash au and thought "this is nice, but what if it was Haunted?" then have I got a deranged little story for you. Featuring a metric ton of psychological horror and nightmare logic. I think this is probably my best work, and the only thing I'm (almost) completely satisfied with.

tally. A short and brutal fic featuring the girls getting weirdly competitive about murder. The Hunt is not a game, except that it is. No one's keeping score, except that they are. Inspired by the brilliant mind of my good friend @thunderon, Certified Taissa Turner Understander.

oneiros. A surreal Taissa/Taissa fic about trying and failing to be honest with yourself in a very literal fashion. I loved writing the imagery for this one, and the internal monologue was a joy to unspool from start to finish. Written for, well, you, @nataliewaitepdf! Incidentally, you are also a Certified Taissa Turner Understander and the one who opened my eyes to Taissa/Taissa, so thank you!

carrion choir. In a word: gross. In more words: a body-horror-laden exploration of Van's relationship with death as she hallucinates her own body slowly rotting away. The story Van tells near the end is one of my favorite pieces of writing I've ever done. Elements of this story were inspired by the excellent writer @yee-hawlw.

fire in my hands. In stark contrast to the rest of the entries on this list, this one's a nice, bittersweet love story (with graphic depictions of cannibalism. What a show!). Tai and Van taking care of one another before, during, and after the wilderness. Written for the fantastic artist @harundraws.

Thank you once again! This was fun :)

every day this website tests me

first base is martyrdom. second base is raising the other from the dead. third base is eye contact

#i laughed actually

[thunderon]

i was trying to figure out some code stuff and went to look at this guide on semaphores and absolutely nothing prepared me for the chapter intro:

#every time i do anything with locks im reminded of this

[thunderon]

at this horror i sank nearly to the lichened earth, transfixed with a dread not of this nor any world, but only of the mad spaces between the stars.

lottie + the festival

#‘there was nothing i could say because everything was wrong’ is a lottie quote. to me. #yellowjackets

[thunderon]

i love tumblr because people will just say anything in the tags of my posts and it gets put right in my notifications for me to look at like

#people be saying lots of stuff #and i be reading it #op
