    Summary

    At the end of Gideon the Ninth Gideon and Harrow achieve perfect lyctorhood which sets them on a crash course right into the events of Harrow the Ninth. Something’s weird with the Sixth house, there’s infighting on the Mith aplenty, Gideon goes from no parents to too many parents, Gideon can’t tell if Harrow wants to kiss or not and unfortunately Ianthe is still here.

    Summary

    The resurrection of the dead of Canaan House, as carried out by newly minted and unwilling Lyctor Harrowhark Nonagesimus.

    (The Second learn there are some things you can't - and shouldn't - shut out and soldier your way through. The Fourth gain a handful of new role models, for better or for worse. The Fifth learn that perspective is a sword with two edges, and the clarity of understanding can bring with it a great deal of pain, but also a map through which to chart the way forward. The Sixth find the strength to hold everything together except for themselves. The Eighth tumble into the free-fall that comes after a crisis of faith slashes every string holding the world together and hit the ground hard. And the Ninth?

    Well. The Ninth House never did care much for the rules of what is, isn't, or should be 'possible.')

    Summary

    She feels like he’s peeling every layer of her being, one by one by one. And when he gets to her bones, he’ll find something she’ll never be able to run away from.

    “…you,” the stranger says, his hands flexing into fists. Unclenching again. “You are…”

    Gideon holds her breath. She doesn’t know why she thinks so, but it seems to her that Harrow does as well.

    The corner of the man’s lips twitches up in a smile.

    “You’re the spitting image of your mother.”

    Or: what if Pyrrha rescued Gideon from the Ninth as a child?

    Summary

    “Fret not, honeybun.” Gideon shook her red hair out of her eyes, belligerent. “I’m not totally sold on your whole skepticism thing.”
    “Well,” Harrow said, ignoring the nickname. She turned to the rest of the room, clearing her throat politely before addressing the empty air. “Ghosts, if you’re real, give us a sign. Make a noise. Move something. Send a shiver down our backs. Whisper softly into Nav’s left ear—”
    “I seriously fucking hate you.”

    (Casual sex and paranormal investigation. Not necessarily in that order.)

    (or: the Buzzfeed Unsolved AU in which Gideon is ready to fight a ghost, and Harrow just wants to be haunted.)
