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

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.

Summary
Gideon Nav is the defensewoman New York needed, although she prefers defensebutch, thanks. Six feet of absolute dynamite on the ice, with a weapons-grade slapper and smothering shutdown play. And she's finally free, a year ahead of you-know-who in the draft. Her sophomore season is everything she could have asked for.
Then they play the new expansion team in Denver, and who else but four-foot-nothing Harrowhark Nonagesimus lays the highlight reel hit of the year on her at the blue line.
Gideon wants payback, and soon.

When I come out of the water, she tells me I am Wrong.
“Wrong, how?” I ask. “Wrong, bad? Wrong, ugly?”
“Different,” Cam says. “Just different.” But she is kind. I know I took the thing that was inside.

Summary
Nodding absently, Corona bites her lip. “Do you do everything together?”
“No, we’re not—” Gideon’s eyes catch on the dent that Corona’s teeth leave on her plush, kissable lips. Oh. In the question of ‘doing everything,’ Corona is ‘everything.’
Gideon and Camilla aren’t like that. In fact, they’re so not like that, Camilla’s more likely to suffocate Gideon with a pillow in her bunk than join her in it.
*
Warped Tour 1999. Gideon and Camilla are Vans-sponsored skateboarders, skating vert demos as a pair around the country. Things change when they realize their chemistry is good for more than just the halfpipe.

Summary
There’s something flickering and humming about the edges of their irises now, something changing, a carousel of her-him-her-him. Pyrrha pushes against their shoulders and they sink back against the concrete with Hect’s grace and blink up at her with Sextus’ owlishness.
‘You idiots,’ Pyrrha mutters, hovering on her elbows above them. ‘You idiots.’
They grin - a great, foolish, happy grin – and it’s that happiness that does it, the ease of it, the truth. Pyrrha laughs, longer and freer than she has in a long time, kisses first the tip of their nose and then their mouth again. They hum, grin wider, those happy young fools.

Summary
"Harrow," Gideon said carefully, desperate to avoid the something but seeing no recourse but to address this development. "Harrow, are you... jealous of Dulcinea?"
Even through the gloom Gideon could see Harrow's scraggly stick-like figure stiffen with indignation. She could practically feel the heat from the dark embers of the Reverend Daughter's eyes, a boiling, seething, reasonless rage. Crow-talon fingers clutched the blankets around her in a death grip.
"Of course I'm jealous of Dulcinea, you yellow-eyed imbecile," hissed Harrowhark.

Summary
Gideon remembers the first time they stuck Harrow on the ice, in her matching puffy pants and coat and her sombre black helmet, like shoving a cranky baby rook out of the nest. She fell down immediately, and when none of the adults seemed about to step in and right her, Gideon did it herself. She could skate backward by then, so she took Harrow’s mittened hands and tugged her along in slow, endless circles. She remembers—or thinks she remembers, maybe it’s just her mind filling in from later examples—Harrow’s furrowed, pinched expression of furious concentration. She always hated needing help. More than she hated Gideon, maybe. But that day, for the few hours it took her to get her blades under her, she scowlingly accepted both.
Or, the figure skating AU that happens when I binge watch too much Grand Prix coverage.

“Have you been with many women?” Dulcinea blinked, her tone conversational and even.
“Oh yeah,” Gideon said, eyes not moving off Dulcinea’s shoulder. “Tons. Loads. Thou- Hundreds.”
---
Instead of returning Gideon to her room, Dulcinea volunteers to keep watch as she recovers.
You can imagine how well Harrow takes to this idea (see in chapter 2).

Summary
If Harrow did command her, Gideon would obey without question; give Harrow everything, as many times as she wanted. But Harrow doesn’t actually want it to be easy. She wants a challenge, a fight, she wants to assert her power like she always has. And Gideon knows exactly how to ruin her.

Summary
Pyrrha has too much to worry about with her shitty apartment, her shitty job, and her supposed partner who's never even home, to care about John Gaius anymore. She's done owing him, and being owned by him; as soon as Gideon finishes this job they're both done and she'll be free forever.
And then John drops his daughter off on her doorstep.

Summary
Slightly wobbly in her high-heeled shoes, Harrow walks over the wet gravel in an ungainly line, and puts out her cigarette in the muddy earth of John Gaius’ fresh-dug grave.
Gideon stares at her.
‘Come on,’ Harrow says, and brushes off her hands as she straightens back up. ‘Let’s get a drink.’

Summary
“I have been,” says Palamedes crisply, the minute Camilla enters the apartment, “a very bad boy.”
Cam spares him a side-glance, a flick of brown eyes toward him as she sets down her bag on the kitchen chair. She looks unimpressed. Her bangs are glued to her forehead with sweat; her tank top clings to her skin, soaked through the back. The line of her sports bra is clearly visible through the fabric. “All right,” she says.

Summary
The best thing about Cam-being-hot is that she knows she is: after the second time they’d slept together, Gideon had sat under Cam’s blankets and leaned against her headboard, and said she was very sorry but she had to go on vacation for a week with her stepmom-not-really-stepmom, don’t ask, and she’d miss Camilla horribly, but maybe they could text? Or call? and Cam had shown her the pictures.
Cam's other girlfriend, a hobbyist photographer, enjoys taking erotic photos of her when she gets the chance. Gideon wants in.

"Why is Harrow on Tinder? How is Harrow on Tinder? I thought humans were the only demographic allowed, not eldritch horrors. What do I do? Like, do I swipe right?"
"Do you like her?" Camilla asks.
"Uh, no," Gideon says like it's the most obvious thing in the world.
"Then don't swipe right."
A moment of silence. And then, "I'm gonna swipe right."
OR the “you’re my enemy and you popped up while I was swiping around on a dating app so I swiped right just to screw with you and we matched wtF is going on” AU I posted about on Tumblr one time, but it's more angsty and found-family-ish than I had intended. As usual.

Summary
“Gideon,” replied Harrow, thoroughly bored of this interaction already and taking no pains to hide it. “There’s been a noise complaint about your social gathering, and as it is…” – she made a great show of checking the watch she didn’t own and therefore wasn’t wearing – “…ass and balls o’clock in the morning, I’m here to tell you to break it up and go to sleep like good little children.” She made sure to infuse ‘social gathering’ with the exact same tone of withering condescension she’d use to say, like, ‘debauched orgy’ or ‘World War II LARP session’ or ‘tea party with Ronald and Nancy Reagan.’
Predictably, Gideon ignored her. Instead, she slouched even harder and more bonelessly against the doorframe and held her hand to her face in an upsettingly decent imitation of the thinking emoji. “Ortus again?” she asked eventually, her tone carefully pruned of all discernible emotion.
“I take my role as senior resident of these halls of accommodation very seriously, as you well know, and it is my duty to investigate all complaints promptly and vigorously while protecting the anonymity of the complainant,” said Harrow officiously. “But yes, it was Ortus, because he is a big girl’s blouse.”
