We Need To Talk About Nona by peacockbutchboy
Fandoms: The Locked Tomb Series | Gideon the Ninth Series - Tamsyn Muir
11 Apr 2023
Tags
Summary
Joli is rapidly losing the ability to begin a conversation with her colleague in a way that doesn’t start with the words “I’m worried about…”. She knew what she was getting into when making it her life’s goal to give the kids in the city a better life than the half of her family that had survived their third resettlement had. She spends a lot of time fretting about things, it’s ostensibly what she’s best at, apart from speaking four languages reasonably well and doing the voices when reading from a story book. It’s no wonder then, that the first thing she says while she and Aim are fixing up the rumbling generator with duct tape and a prayer is “I’m worried about Nona.”
OR
Five times Nona and Joli were having two completely different conversations at the same time, and one time all the cards are laid on the table.

Summary
“Stop by the shop on the way home.”
Gideon raised an eyebrow. “What for?”As far as she was aware, the fridge was still pretty well stocked. Harrow had plenty to peck at for at least another week.
Harrowhark finally looked up again. There was a strange glint in her eye. Something glittered that portended a certifiable Nonagesimus kind of nasty that Gideon didn’t want to touch with a twelve foot pole.
“Porkchops,” she said at last. “Ground beef. Bratwurst. Red meats, ideally.”“Feeling carnivorous, are we?” Gideon joked. Harrow did not deign to dignify this with a response.
---
Less than a week ago, Gideon received a call stating her mother was dead.In an unrelated event, Harrowhark is suddenly asking for meat.

Summary
“Understand that once you do this, you can’t take it back. It’s better to die. There’s a power to dying clean … dying free. It’s not love, what you’re about to do. It’s not beautiful and it’s not powerful. It’s a mistake. We didn’t even do it right … we were children—playing with the reflections of stars in a pool of water … thinking it was space.”
The story of a mistake: neither beautiful nor powerful—dying dirty and together. A luckless night at a shitty bar, and the ascension of the Third Saint to serve the King Undying; how the woman that would become Pyrrha Dve met the man on fire.

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
“I still love you,” you say. I can feel your breaths, sharp, hot, hissing on my cheek. You taste of meat and not salt. I bite your cheek to make sure we’re both real, and you don’t even flinch. That’s devotion too. Not the kind John thinks he deserves. Something else. Mine.
Or:
Alecto knows what kind of story she's in.

Indeed, dearest. After a millennia, you will have regrets - maybe even moreso than the rest of us, because you had ten thousand years (and then some) to fuck it all up.

Summary
Gideon and Harrow are university students who end up, to their great disgust, cast in the same Shakespeare play.
When Dulcinea Septimus, aspiring director, asks Gideon Nav if she wants to audition for Hamlet - the play she’s directing - Gideon says yes with no hesitation. Unfortunately, Gideon’s rival since childhood, Harrowhark Nonagesimus has been cast as the titular character. This would have been fine, if Gideon hadn’t been cast as Horatio, Hamlet’s best friend.
Forced to get along until show week, or at least not kill each other in the rehearsal room, Gideon and Harrow must try to make amends. And in doing so, they realise that Dulcinea may have not made a bad decision in casting them together after all.

Summary
Gideon Nav carefully makes her way down the stairs, leaning her shoulder against the cold stone walls. She keeps her silence down the hallway - watches the cold fog of her breath trail away behind her- and shuffles to a stop by the side of the only occupied prison cell in the Ninth. The woman inside it is crumpled against the wall, breathing heavily. Her tangled red hair drapes over her face; Gideon has never seen it.
“Mom,” she whispers, “they hit me.”
The woman says nothing.
