    Summary

    Dorothea laughs. “Oh, Byleth. You always know exactly what to say.”

    “Do I?” It always feels like she never knows what she’s saying.

    “Yes. I can see why you’re our Emperor’s favourite.”

    “Am I?” Byleth asks, surprised.

    That earns her another melodic laugh out of the songstress. “You are,” she affirms with a smile.

    “Do you think she’s happy?” Byleth murmurs, more to herself than anyone else. She glances over at her wife, who’s also smiling broadly at Petra. She has never looked so light and free before. Edelgard must sense her gaze because she looks up and her smile grows wider when their eyes meet.

    Byleth smiles back.

    Smiling feels good.

    “I think she would be happy no matter where she is as long as she’s with you.”

    Summary

    Each morning, Harrow fiddles with bone, to keep her hands busy while she waits for Gideon to wake up. So far, she’s made a miniature fish, a miniature snake, a few miniature trees, and approximately 573 wedding rings.

    Summary

    Although she was a beloved Daughter and a talented necromancer, Gideon's greatest vice was that she dearly loved to fuck around and find out. Knowing this, perhaps it shouldn't have been as shocking when she lifted one of Nova's hands, flipped it over, and kissed her palm.

    Summary

    Failing numerous times to escape the Ninth, Gideon gave up the ghost and settled into her forced servitude. The Emperor made no request for the Houses to attempt the Lyctor Trials. Gideon’s miserable life went on in the Ninth House, plateauing into a tedious rinse and repeat cycle of waiting for the seemingly unattainable sweet release of death. The monotony is broken when someone makes it their mission to murder the Ninth House scion. Somehow this becomes Gideon’s problem.

    As if it was a universal rule, Gideon’s pitiful life gets worse in the drill shaft. (Get it? The Ninth is a pit and it sucks- whatever).

    AU- Gideon becomes the Ninth's cav and tries to keep Harrow alive, without it killing her first.

    Summary

    “Gideon. What was it, what happened?”
    At that name, that goddamn name, Kiriona Gaia met Harrow’s eyes, for the first time since Canaan house, since they were just the Reverend Daughter Harrowhark Nonagesimus and Gideon the Ninth.
    “She kissed me,” Kiriona said, quietly. “She kissed me and I knew right then she wasn’t you.”

    ***
    Post-Nona, post-Griddlehark-reunion. Harrow can’t understand why Gideon is being cold to her. Kiriona just wants to be out of this room.

    Byleth dreams of dungeons and surgeries. Of being cut open and shivering with her siblings.

    She doesn't realize it's not just a dream until she wakes up with a cut on her face that wasn't there when she went to sleep and a journal that she didn't have before.

    Summary

    When you meet your soulmate, you grow wings. Both are useless to Gideon. Her soulmate has been dead for so long she can't remember them at all, and her keepers on the Ninth insist on clipping her wings to stop her causing trouble.

    But the Emperor's summons could change all that. By acting as cavalier to the Reverend Daughter, Gideon might finally get the chance to fly—and to learn the truth about her soulmate.

    Summary

    “You’re the new bartender?” Ianthe asks, glancing at Gideon with something resembling distaste. “Come back at tomorrow at four pm. Harry’s going to show you the ropes.” 

    “Don’t call me that,” Harrow says automatically. Then, as the rest of Ianthe’s sentence sinks in: “Wait, I’m what?” 

    “You’re training her,” Ianthe says. She’s smiling pleasantly, but Harrow catches the demonic flash of schadenfreude behind it. “Try not to kill each other, will you?”

    Summary

    It'd been two years since Gideon Nav gathered her wine key and her gaming license and escaped The Locked Tomb, a speakeasy-style cocktail bar managed by the hateful Harrowhark Nonagesimus. Now, dealing tables at The Mithraeum Hotel & Casino, things were really looking up. So when Gideon scored a date with the most beautiful showgirl in the Gilded Halls of Ida, the last thing she expected was to wake up married to her old nemesis and former coworker.

    The story starts the night of Gideon's date and alternates between the events leading up to the wedding and the weeks that follow as Gideon tries to navigate life married to someone who claims to want nothing more than to forget she exists.

    Summary

    Her face is wet when the others find her.

    “What happened?” Camila asks, eyes darting from the puddle of blood that was once Michael, to the puddle of blood that was once Adriel, to the puddle of blood that was Ava before Beatrice pushed her through the Arc.

    “She did it,” Beatrice says, soft and bitter, “Adriel is dead.”

    Camila’s eyes dart from the blood to the tears on Beatrice’s face. “And Ava?”

    Beatrice closes her eyes. Swallows the grief. Chokes on the sob. Tries to remember how to breathe. Tries to remember how to live.

    “Gone. She’s gone.”

    Or: Beatrice, in the aftermath.

    Summary

    “So… you’re not mad?” The alcohol was already settling, warm in her stomach, and the words were out before she could stop them.

    “Mad?” Ava asked. “Why would I be mad?”

    “I’m…not entirely sure.” Beatrice had run through this conversation a thousand times in her head. Sometimes, the scenario ended with Ava telling her they couldn’t be friends anymore. Sometimes, it ended in a way that would make Beatrice blush to think about. Either way, she never pictured it being this casual.

    “It’s cool.”

    “It’s – it’s ‘cool?’”

    Ava shrugged. “Yeah. I mean, I used to have a ridiculous crush on you too, so I guess we’re even, right?”

    /

    Camila accidentally spills the beans to Ava about Beatrice’s feelings. They deal with it like idiots. College AU.

    Summary

    Home, to Ava, is flannel-backed chairs and worn quilts and lacy placemats and a rocking chair they find abandoned on the side of the road.

    Home, to Beatrice, is Ava’s hand in her own as she drags Beatrice through the kitschy home store four towns over and Ava’s shout of triumph when she finds a matching set of salt and pepper shakers and Ava’s waggling eyebrows when they buy the bed that she (again) calls ours.

    (Six days in Switzerland, and then a few more afterwards.)

    Ten years ago, the Adrestian Empire struck down the Church of Seiros and ushered in a new era. Emperor Edelgard took the hand of her beloved, and they swore to always be there for one another.

    Then shortly thereafter, Byleth vanished from the Empire.

    In Remire, Eisner works hard to help build the small village and escape her past. Though she's no longer haunted by the specters of her regret, she's never quite found the courage to return back to her old life and the people she left behind. That is, until one day a very different ghost appears on her doorstep.

    Summary

    Home economics. Gideon had, rather wrongfully, determined that this might be one of the few classes that might actually teach her something useful about the world. Taxes, resumes, the kind of boring things that might eventually carry her into that mythical realm of adulthood that her teachers were constantly on her case about. So far, she had learned how to gouge her finger up trying to sew a button onto a coat, and she had learned that if you fucked up really badly, a cute girl might band-aid it up for you.

    Home ec taught Gideon another vital life rule, just minutes later: life isn’t fair.

    Because Harrowhark Nonagesimus was holding a baby.

    __________________________________________________________________________

    In which Gideon Nav — high school junior, lady-killer, rugby star extraordinaire — finds herself raising a (creepy, possibly haunted) baby doll with her greatest enemy, Harrowhark Nonagesimus. Between trying not to fail the class, kill one another, or inflict lasting childhood trauma on a robot, the two might just end up closer than either of them had ever imagined.

    Summary

    Sometimes Harrow imagines Gideon as a gallant prince, kissing her hand instead of punching her in the face. But that image is nauseating, and the punching has its own appeal. It's something Harrow knows how to respond to. She finds herself hungry for it in a way she can't imagine being hungry for gallantry. She deserves to be punched and Gideon deserves whatever horrible web Harrow can weave in return.
