Summary
Gideon Nav likes college. She’s got a full-ride sports scholarship that lifted her out of the foster care system and into the arms of the D1 elite. She has her friends, a full belly, and a fairly easy work study job…that puts her in unfortunate proximity to her worst nightmare, Harrowhark Nonagesimus.
Harrow is the product of a classical music legacy rife with scandal and secrecy. She came to Canaan University with a plan to keep her head down and compose a piece of music so great that it could raise her and her family from the ashes. As they navigate the social labyrinth of a liberal arts college filled to the cranium with cliques, Harrow and Gideon will have to put their differences aside and work together if either of them has any chance of making it out of this school alive.

The World Is Crumbling, But Tonight I Will Make Dinner by Robbies_Restroom

Summary
But Gideon can’t fix her. Can’t bring her mother back. Can’t make her father come home. Can’t make her worthy enough to even ask for it. She can’t make the Lord forgive her.
Except she doesn’t say any of that. It’s too hopeless. Too pathetic.
Instead, it’s a weak plea that does escape her. But how could she ever understand? What is God to an atheist? What connection do the two of them have when it’s her whole world?
“Has anybody ever died for you?” Harrow whispers, “Would anyone ever? People are selfish. They’re cruel. We hurt eachother, we take from eachother—and that’s why. That’s why I believe. Even if it makes me a fool in your eyes, I have to.”
-
In a rural, hyper-religious country town in central Australia, Harrow and Gideon grow up sharing a wall. Deeply, reverently, irrevocably in love, but violently steeped in enough religious shame to hide it, they fail to learn the difference between love and worship, want, and lust.

a little bit masochistic, a tentative ellipsis by amidnightsurgery

Summary
Harrow sometimes felt like she was losing the plot of her own life.
She didn’t do casual hook-ups, she never had. But with Gideon Nav, she couldn’t seem to stay away. Never mind that they only seemed able to get along when Gideon was getting Harrow off. And Gideon was willing to get Harrow off in empty rooms at house parties, in bar bathrooms, and one particularly memorable time in Gideon’s own bedroom while a MarioKart tournament was happening one room over.
All Harrow had to do was keep ignoring the pit in her stomach that seemed to get bigger every time Gideon left her alone after sex that seemed to suggest that maybe Harrow wasn’t actually having fun anymore. That maybe she wanted something more.

Summary
“So you want to shake off Ianthe and I want to make Corona see me as a legit romantic prospect. I have the perfect plan,” Gideon said, her eyes glowing in the way that told Harrow she was much drunker than she’d been letting on.
“That’s not a comforting statement coming from you,” Harrow replied, knowing she was definitely not drunk enough for whatever Gideon was about to say.
“We should pretend to date each other."
“No,” Harrow said. “Absolutely not.”
---
Harrow agrees to fake-date Gideon and it goes completely smoothly and according to plan.Just kidding, it's an absolute disaster of pining and repressed feelings.

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.Series
