all our nights taste like gold by igneousbitch
Fandoms: The Locked Tomb Series | Gideon the Ninth Series - Tamsyn Muir
21 Feb 2022

Summary
I [24F] call my best friend [23F] every pet name under the sun, and she’s only called me “darling” once when we were having makeup sex on her couch after this huge fight because she insisted on climbing to the top of this fucked up lighthouse and nearly broke her ass on a stair. Anyway, I’ve been trying to get her to say it again via sexual favours, chivalry, cooking, being generally hot and charming etc etc but none of it is working. (To be clear, the sex and cooking with her make me happy. It’s not like I’m just doing it so she calls me names.) Any advice appreciated. Thanks!
-
(Unsolved AU Gideon and Harrow get up to some shenanigans.)
(Or: Brief “who ya gonna call” scenes that fit together in some capacity. Consider the loose main premise to be Gideon’s mission to get Harrow to call her “darling” again. Consider also that the author is unhinged, and that the stronger thread that binds these chapters together is Yearning and vague plot.)

Summary
Two idiots and one mildly criminal New Year’s Eve operation.
(In which Harrow Nonagesimus has a score to settle, and Gideon comes along to make sure she doesn’t get her tiny ass stuck in an even tinier window. It’s definitely not because she likes her.)
(OR: the “who ya gonna call?” art school prequel, but just the part where they put a tilapia in John’s office.)

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.)

Summary
"You’re a virgin,” Gideon said, testing it out. "Huh."
Harrow didn’t like the sound of that huh. She knew Gideon’s noises, and that was a thoughtful, sinister huh. That was the same huh she’d made before putting canned tuna in Crux’s work boots.
Her eyes narrowed. “What.”
Gideon cocked her head to the side. “Is there a reason you’re waiting?” There was no judgement in the question— only genuine curiosity.
Perhaps it was this that made Harrow more inclined to answer. “I don’t have the time to look for someone new,” She shrugged. “And my available pool is… somewhat limited.”
“Well,” Gideon said, with just a hint of conspiracy in those glittering golden eyes. “If you ever want to change that, you have my number.”
What? What?
Harrow blinked. “What?”
Or: the five times Gideon and Harrow successfully bone, and the one time they don't.

...and a partridge in a pear tree by strangehunger
Fandoms: Gideon the Ninth - Tamsyn Muir
04 Feb 2020

Summary
“Gideon,” said Palamedes with the patience of a saint, “the rules are the rules. It wouldn’t be fair if I changed them just for you. In a well ordered society—
“It’s not a well ordered society.” Gideon knew where that was going, and she certainly didn’t have the time. She slapped a slip of paper onto the counter and said, “It’s secret santa.”
And there lay the source of all of her problems: handwritten in a script so neat and precise it could have been printed, Harrowhark Nonagesimus. And everyone knew that Gideon and Harrow hated each other.
So what if they had started taking smoke breaks together? So what if Harrow had helped her fold shirts just last week, in a store she didn’t even work in? So what if Harrow had laughed as the two of them did Jagerbombs at Palamedes’ Halloween party, the glint of her fake fangs flashing invitingly in the orange party lights? They hated each other. The two of them would both work in the mall until one of them inevitably strangled the other with her bare hands, and Gideon wouldn’t have it any other way.
Except that lately, Gideon had started to like Harrow.
Which made that slip of paper a fucking problem.

Summary
Harrowhark Nonagesimus is very much not afraid of thunder, which she tells Gideon when they're both up in the night of a bad storm. Gideon, however, is pretty familiar with speaking Harrow, and knows that she's full of shit.
Cuddling, predictably, ensues.

Summary
The cabin the four of them find themselves in is - fine. It's sturdy, it's dry, it has everything they need to keep them alive and safe. But the only option for bathing is the big porcelain tub, and for Harrow, that's a problem.
[Or: I invent a scenario that causes Gideon and Harrow to bathe together and work through trauma, and also their stupid gay feelings]

Summary
“Satoru. Have you ever had a massage before?”
The way his name melts off of Suguru’s tongue is dizzying, dazzling, so it’s too bad when the question after it hits him like a splash of cold water in the face.
“Tch. I mean, sure I have.” Be cool. “Of course. Obviously.”
Suguru’s mild smile doesn’t budge. It wears him down to nothing in two seconds flat.
“Not exactly, no.”
“That’s perfectly alright, you know,” Suguru assures. “There has to be a first time for everything.”
Satoru cannot allow himself to think about all the first times he would give to this man.
Satoru has never had a massage before. Unbelievable, now that he knows what (who) he’s been missing.

Fandoms: One Piece (Anime & Manga)

Summary
She barely has a moment to catch her breath when a flash of red collides with her and a pair of rubbery arms wraps around her, looping wildly.
“Yes! Vivi’s gonna be a pirate with us!”
“It’s great to have you, Vivi!” shouts Usopp. “Also, the Navy is shooting at us!”
“Oh, shit!”
They scramble into position, pulling the sails and moving the cannon, Vivi falling into the familiar pattern alongside the rest of them. There is no time for celebration, no time for regrets – There are cannonballs flying, screaming wind and the shouts of the crew, and no time to mourn a now-dead girl. By the time she has a chance to look back, Alabasta is gone from the horizon, and maybe it’s better this way.
Or: Nefertari Vivi makes the selfish choice.

Slowly, carefully, as though she was made of glass, Vivi half-guided and half-carried Nami to her bed, arms wrapped delicately around her waist. Nami, always the stubborn one, always independent to a fault, let herself be helped without complaint.
--
"Don't die on me. You have to get me to Alabasta," Vivi insisted.
"I know."
"And you will. You– you will, right?"
Nami was silent for a moment too long.

Summary
Gojo had accepted what his relationship with Geto was. They were 'Satoru and Suguru, platonic life partners.'
Sure, sometimes he still wondered how all that thick black hair would feel slipping through his fingers. Sometimes he dreamt about what it would be like to press into the space between them and get a taste of what he really wanted.
But what they had was fine. Definitely, completely fine.
***
Geto had to stop this ridiculous pining.Satoru was his best friend. His everything, really. They would die for each other, and Geto knew that.
But Satoru would never be his boyfriend. If Geto’s stupid heart hadn’t realized that by now, then he’d just have to take a more proactive approach to get over his crush.
***
(At 20 years old - sharing an apartment and joint Jujutsu missions - Geto and Gojo are inseparable. But it takes Geto going on a first date for them to start to figure out their feelings.)- Language:

If you're doing it right you'll break their ribs by almostnectarine for Trialia
Fandoms: The Locked Tomb Trilogy | Gideon the Ninth Series - Tamsyn Muir
17 Dec 2020
Tags
Summary
"How do you know Nonagesimus has gone somewhere dangerous?" asked Isaac. "Have you wired some kind of alert system?"
"It's, uh. It's on the schedule," said Gideon. "I just... forgot. Because of the bread."
Nobody was convinced by this, least of all Gideon.
"It's a Ninth House thing," Gideon went on, backing away with increasing desperation. This was a slightly more plausible explanation, if only because nobody wanted to look too closely at what fell under the awful skeletal-ribbed and rotting umbrella of Ninth House things. "Gotta go—!" And she was out the door, gone.
But it wasn't a Ninth House thing, except inasmuch as it was happening to the only two representatives of the noble and decrepit Ninth House on this quite literally godforsaken rock. Gideon knew Harrow had gone somewhere dangerous—knew that Harrow was back in the lab where they had only just completed a horrible trial—because she could see it, clear as day: an awful overlay on her vision of that terrible dangerous room and a pair of terrible dangerous hands drawing some kind of ward next to the plinth.
The hands were definitely Harrow's.
This was definitely a problem.

GHAZAL WHERE I'M BEGGING YOU TO TOUCH ME by igneousbitch

Summary
You had your body and I had mine, and it was a miracle. Your hands against my face were a miracle. The rest of your meat attached to your hands was a prayer answered and a promise broken, but we were flush and gasping and alive, and Harrow—I really thought you might’ve kissed me then.
But I felt it happen. The way your breath suddenly stilled, and your body locked up beneath mine, remembering. How with splintering gentleness, you pushed me away.
“I’m so sorry,” was the second thing you said upon waking.
The first thing had been my name.
Stranded in a safehouse on an Edenite moon, Gideon and Harrow try to put themselves back together.

Summary
Harrow huffed in irritation. “Defend yourself with a staff then!” With a triumphant flourish, she pulled a doe’s rib-bone out of a sheath at her belt.
“That’s…not a quarterstaff. That’s not even a quarter of a quarterstaff," said the stranger.
Harrow felt a smile pull at her lips. “Oh yes, but…in my hands, it grows.”
“Thus quoth the maiden.”
“Yes?” said Harrow, confused. “I said in my hands it—” She felt her face heat, doubtless all too visible below the jawless bottom of her mask. “You—you are puerile!”
“That’s a very fancy way to say that I’m funnier than you.”
***
The bold outlaws Nova Hawk and Gideon meet for the first time on a narrow log-bridge. But is it really their first meeting?
Or: what if Robin Hood and Little John were both lesbians?
