Summary
Making a home for the Locked Tomb theories I've written about elsewhere! Mostly focused on the Third and Sixth Houses
Including:
The Nona-to-Corona Connection: how Nona's entire household might have been our queer-affirming foil to the Third
How Gideon Maybe, Personally, Totally Ruined Everything for the Third, and Other Notes on Tern and the Tridentarii
The Harrow and Naberius Friendship Power Hour (A completely serious proposal concerning Dante's Inferno)
The Matthias Nonius Fan Convention Needs Cosplayers and Naberius Tern’s Body is Ready (continuously updated, too many implications to deal with)
unhinged theory about the Hot Sauce Gang and their art (massive series spoilers)
Immaculate vibes: Close reading of the Third's first scene in GtN (Babs gives Corona the silent treatment?)Just added: Civil Unrest and Fan Culture in the Third House (Naberius Tern, accidental people's hero?)

Summary
First, the Holy Mothers didn't want Anastasia to answer the Emperor's summons at all. (They were still upset about the miracle. The Disciplinarian who shaved her had called it “ostentatious, blasphemous and vulgar”. The summons was strong supporting evidence for the first third of the Disciplinarian’s point.) Theologies and legalities were consulted and debated. Anastasia knew better than to take her own part. The Mothers might bow to law or God, but they would never concede to Anastasia. She said nothing.

A Pyrrha and Alecto slash fiction with a lot of other relationships as well. For those who want to spend time with the first house before the stakes got so high for them.
