Summary
The year is 1870 and oil Baron John Gaius has his sights set on building the greatest city West of the Rio Grande. First things first, he needs people to populate it and to this end, he's going to move an entire wagon caravan's worth of people two thousand miles West, including undertaker Harrowhark Nonagesimus, who wants to leave behind the small town and the ever swirling rumors concerning her late husband's death.
To get it done, he's hiring old friend Pyrrha 'Deadshot' Dve, legendary gunfighter, and her two tag-alongs, both looking to buy their freedom from the unjust and long-arm of the law.

Summary
Harrow turns 30. She doesn't take it great.
South Brooklyn Thirtysomething Gay Soap Opera AU. Come for the trauma, stay for the drama.
Gideon's a successful Tik-Tok trainer, South Brooklyn's greatest fuckboy, and Harrow's long-term live-in dog. Harrow is a burned out gifted and talented kid trying to get her shit together while exploring another side of herself after years as a total dom. Ianthe's a tech trans Twitter doll trying to start over after pissing everybody off her entire 20s with mixed results. Paul's actually got their shit together. Now what?
The answer is scramble the ships and try to keep the drama coming, the jokes funny, and the characters poignant. Come watch people torment themselves and their loved ones trying to live up to themselves and make bad life choices as they hammer out their convoluted kink and poly dynamics.
I've gone back and forth on whether this is M or E a couple of times. I'll just say there's a lot of fairly explicit kinky queer sex in this, but most of the kink is pretty sloppy, and most of the sex is about people getting their feelings hurt, so your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for.

Summary
Harrowhark Nonagesimus knelt in the Ninth House library and recited the confessional for the sixth time in a row. Usually she recited it in groups of three, three times daily, for a total of nine, but she was about to commit a sin and figured she ought to recite it an extra nine times. Six recitations in, though, and she found the words meant so little to her that she wasn’t sure she should’ve bothered. She didn’t feel guilty about this sin, not really. Certainly not the way she felt guilty about everything else.

In which Harrow opens a locked door (no, not that one), processes what it means to be a product of mass death, and gets into a lot of arguments. -

Summary
Harrowhark Nonagesimus is your typical university student: drowning in work and stress, with only sheer will and an incredibly strong caffeine addiction keeping her from keeling over and giving up on everything. Life's normal enough, if rather hectic, but she's just like everyone else at Canaan University. She's just another normal human being, just trying to get her degree and get out.
Isn't she?
All it takes is a single encounter with a startlingly gorgeous stranger for her meticulously crafted jenga-tower of a life to come completely crashing down. -

Summary
Prince Kiriona doesn't quite know why her Father decided she needed to get married, nor does she know why He invited all Nine houses to stay on her personal station, The Prince's Throne, while she chose a bride. Or groom, technically, but it was only ever gonna be a bride.
Still, with the heirs of eight Houses to choose from there's got to be somebody she can fall in love with!
And~
Love is the farthest thing from Harrowhark Nonagesimus's mind. She's here to save her ailing House, however she can. If only she can catch the eye of The Most Divine Heir, Prince Kiriona, she might yet pull the Ninth back from the brink... not that she knows the first thing about catching a prince's eye... -

Summary
If you asked Gideon, foil was a crappy weapon and nothing could replace an épée. But Harrowhark is injured and somebody has to fill in for her at the tournament. Tern is a formidable opponent, but Harrowhark is adamant that Gideon has to win this bout.
Gideon stuck her tongue out at her, but Harrow couldn’t see that through the mask mesh and the painted skull.
“Parry, then riposte!” Ortus seemed to think this was helpful advice.
It would have been better if Ortus had given advice to Harrow to fix her lunge, before she sprained her ankle, and avoided Gideon having to take her place on the squad all together. Harrow loved this shit. Right of way, all of foils little rules and tricks and keeping track of each action. While Harrow had been studying for the referee qualifying exam, Gideon had been studying how to make a hard hit in a proper weapon. Epéeists had the good sense to understand that right of way was a stupid concept in the middle of an actual fight. You’re either hit, or you’re not, parries be damned.
