    Summary

    It's hard, being the dead daughter of the Necrolord, the King Undying, Emperor of the 9 Houses. Its hard, and then Ianthe comes along, and it gets even harder.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    “Ianthe,” Gideon’s voice gurgled out of her throat as if she held rocks under her tongue, grating and mean. “Shut the fuck up.”

    Ianthe inspected her nails lazily, her body preternaturally still. A predator posed, engaged, stimulated. Her pupils contracted, and another high, red blush stained her sickly cheeks. “And if I don’t? What will you do? Cry some more?"

    Summary

    Harrowhark didn’t want her name in lights. She didn’t want to step alongside you, further into lyctorhood, into glory. She didn’t want to share the experience, to look upon you with the eyes of her cavalier and see someone as great as her. Someone else who’d been able to ascend, to grace the presence of the Emperor Undying. She’d rather fall apart at the seams for her supposed meat shield than acknowledge you.

    Side. Piece.

    Not even that. You’re an uneasy ally, your lobotomy was essentially a booty call, a desperate plea to preserve the one she actually gives a rat’s ass about. You have to know that you’re below a dead meathead on the Harrowhark priority rankings.

    Ouch.

    Maybe that’s why you elect, after a period of awkward silence, to leave her in a pile of tepid water and her own blood, wheezing softly.

     

    OR, Ianthe comes upon Harrowhark at the end of Ch. 24 of HtN, in the aftermath of the Saint of Duty's bath-ambush.

    Summary

    The mere idea of Naberius Tern being an inextricable part of you makes you sick to your stomach.

     

    OR, Ianthe has to grapple with the consequences of ascending to godhood by munching on the nearest available soul, and that soul, unfortunately, being Naberius Tern's.

    Summary

    She watches Camilla lose herself for a juddery moment, a single thrust against Gideon’s thighs, a slip of the mask. It's so unlike Camilla that Gideon snaps out of it for a moment, slides her hands up to Camilla’s neck and asks, “You good?”

    Camilla huffs, nose still pressed against Gideon’s neck. It feels like she’s losing the game they’re playing. “I’d be better if you had touched me a week ago.”

    Summary

    If the Ninth’s honor is at stake – I believe I could take Quinn or Dyas.”

    Don’t,” says Harrow immediately. “It will not be.”

    Of course not,” Aiglamene agrees. “But if it were, I would not hesitate to try. Any of them would have me at to the touch, but to the floor? The mercy? The death? You should understand, my lady, the cards you hold, and the most advantageous time to play them.”

    --

    Harrow takes Aiglamene to the First House as her cavalier.

    Summary

    “Ianthe, no!” Kiriona ground out. She was immobilized everywhere except for her face. As Ianthe said, she wanted her to be able to ‘give her opinion’. Kiriona was fully aware that Ianthe didn’t give two shits about her opinion, so this was clearly yet another tramped up Tridentarius sadist moment. Something something, “Oh but you’re so pretty when you whine, Gonad!”

    “Calm down, it’s just a hair ribbon.” Ianthe petted the back of Kiriona’s stupidly coiffed mullet.

     

    Ianthe has full control over Kiriona's body, and she's bored. Why not patronize your local mega dead butch?

    Summary

    It’s rare that Ianthe meets someone who recognizes her power. Very rare. By design, Corona is a glorious smokescreen. People want to believe in Corona, and look past the gaunt twin. Wouldn’t one rather have a small, clean-cut diamond rather than a lump of unrealized coal. Nevermind that the coal houses potential for a diamond five-times the size of the little, carved one on display.

    Harrowhark Nonagesiumus, necromancer of the Ninth House and Priestess to All Things Drab, does seem partial to the color black. Makes sense she’d know to look at the lump of coal rather than the shiny, distracting diamond. Harrowhark knew power.

    She knew Ianthe. From the moment they met, Harrowhark’s furtive, paranoid glances landed on Ianthe. Those dark, beady eyes looked her over with a knowingness that set Ianthe on fire.

    What a fascinating, fascinating woman. Ianthe wants to eat her alive and savor the taste of her bones.

     

    OR, Ianthe makes eyes at Harrowhark at the anniversary dinner of Magnus and Abigail and pines in the most Ianthe-way possible.

    Pining with a side of some Ianthe character study.

    Summary

    Harrowhark Nonagesimus and Palamedes Sextus get into an argument about the nature of attraction and its function in sexual gratification. They decide to solve the issue through experimentation, like the science buddies they are. It just so happens that the experiment in question is, well...sex.

    Or, Palamedes Sextus has sex with a pal. For Science!

    Summary

    John asks Kiriona if she would like to be his cavalier.
    ----
    He brings it up casually, on one of the many occasions he invited you to have tea with him (he said it’s important to spend time with your children, that he is making up for the years he didn’t know about you). John Gaius says: "What do you think about being my cav? Wouldn't it be neat for you, my kid, my heir, to be my sword?" He looks at you and smiles kindly, the way you always imagined your mother smiling at you as you told her all about your life on the Ninth.

    Summary

    The girl they corner is just a little mouse of a thing. Violet strobes. Bodies flailing to the ear-shredding techno. Ianthe and Kiriona crowd in, pressing the tiny girl into the wall using just the angle of their silver-clad chests.

    “My friend thinks you’re cute,” Ianthe drawls.

    This girl is really not into me, Kiriona thinks, and starts kissing the girl anyway.

    The Tower Princes go clubbing!

    Summary

    “Doesn’t this make you feel so alive? Our power: us, here, together?” Ianthe breathes. Harrow glances over at her. Ianthe is looking into the far distance, eyes bright with a hungry fervor, pinpricks of blood-red excitement high on her cheeks. This system’s star has a rosy hue, burning colder late in its life cycle, and the daylight offsets Ianthe’s usual sickly pallor. The Eighth Saint glows in her dirty white robes, looking warm and alive here on this planet in a way she never does in the icy illumination of their shared shuttle.

    Harrow hates her.

    (From the request: ‘dark universe Harrianthe Lyctors, cruelty and fucked up dynamics,’ a story in which Ianthe gets what she wants, but Ianthe doesn’t tend to want things that are all that good for her.)

    Summary

    Cytherea takes Gideon after Canaan House

    Ch 1: gideon gets knocked down. but she gets up again. (bad)

    Ch 2: *record scratch* *freeze frame* *gideon nav voice* so, yep, that’s me. you’re probably wondering how I got in this situation.

    Ch 3: "average person loses all hope 3x a year" factoid is statistical error. average person loses hope 0 times a year. gideon nav, who lives in cytherea's torture dungeon and loses hope 10,000x a day is an outlier adn should not have been counted
