    Summary

    We know that Nick and Charlie would find each other in any universe.

    In this one they're more or less the same Nick and Charlie we know from canon, except they don't meet until their mid 20s. Then they do meet, in a tiny valley town in rural North Carolina.

    And then, well... you know the drill.

    Summary

    With a very calculated and deliberate gesture, Harrow threw her finger forward and dug it between two of Gideon’s ribs. The taller woman’s jaw flew open and her body bent over on its own, to which she hugged herself without a sound, every inch of her too focused on the pain she was feeling to react in any other way.

    “Every second I spend in your company is a knife buried in my chest."

    Gideon looked up, eyes half closed in a grimace, to find Harrow’s face to be at the same height as hers now that she was folded in over herself, courtesy of those infernal sticks she called fingers.

    “Every second I am forced to converse with you ( - who the fuck talks like that, painfully interceded Gideon, dizzy with pain - ) I feel my IQ being slowly dragged down by your pathetic attempts at communication. Did you know? I actually kind of admire your ability to ignore the ancient purpose of words for information sharing, and instead use them to somehow worsen the preexisting silence. Yet my admiration is nowhere near grand enough for me to want to stand your company for even one second more than necessary.”

    Gideon found her breath again and shakily replied with a grunt. “Cool. I’ll see you at five then.”

    Summary

    “What’s with the sword theme?” She asks.
    “Aiglamene likes swords.” The walls of Scabbards are leaden with them, replicas of swords, pictures of swords, a suit of armor off in a corner holding–you guessed it–a sword.
    “So why not call the bar ‘Swords’?”
    “Well,” Gideon is only a little delighted that she’s asked this. “Imagine a sword is a dick, then a scabbard must be a–”
    “Ah.”
    “‘Pussys’ would be too on the nose for a lesbian bar, so Scabbards it is.” Gideon leans forward, hands on the counter and a conspiratorial tone in her voice. “You do know you’re in a lesbian bar, right?”
    “Yes, Griddle. I have eyes and critical thinking skills.” Harrow takes another too-big drink.
    “I didn’t know nuns went to lesbian bars.” Gideon says, to be a shit.

    Or: I was just gonna write a fun little thing about Gideon being a bartender and a drummer because I find both of those things attractive, and then 2k of tragic catholic guilt attached itself to Harrow like a revenant, so shit got angsty.
    There'll be porn in later chapters, I promise.

    Summary

    -
    Here’s the thing, she tells Pal: she’s fairly sure Gideon fucks, like, a lot, but the thing is Gideon never does it in their apartment. And she never stays the night. She just comes back home late, one a.m., three a.m., smelling like odd flowery lotion and sex.
     
     
     

     ----
    It’s laundry day, and it’s Saturday, and Gideon is out.

    or,
    Harrow, bent over the dryer, straddling the corner. Face in Gideon's old shirt.

    Summary

    Failing numerous times to escape the Ninth, Gideon gave up the ghost and settled into her forced servitude. The Emperor made no request for the Houses to attempt the Lyctor Trials. Gideon’s miserable life went on in the Ninth House, plateauing into a tedious rinse and repeat cycle of waiting for the seemingly unattainable sweet release of death. The monotony is broken when someone makes it their mission to murder the Ninth House scion. Somehow this becomes Gideon’s problem.

    As if it was a universal rule, Gideon’s pitiful life gets worse in the drill shaft. (Get it? The Ninth is a pit and it sucks- whatever).

    AU- Gideon becomes the Ninth's cav and tries to keep Harrow alive, without it killing her first.
