    Summary

    He’s not starting on pole, and you can tell that makes him nervous. You help him into his underwear, first the leggings and then the skin-tight shirt, and where the way it makes the end of his braid frizz momentarily would normally elicit a pinched frown, now he scowls.
    “Colum, we should have used a different product today. This feels like an ill omen.”

    (Colum helps Silas get ready for a race.)

    Summary

    Silas is all of seven years old, when the previous Master Templar is forced to retire. It’s early, based on what the geneticists and physicians had calculated—the plan is generally for a neat handover at the age of eleven or twelve, but one cannot account for several Shepherd planets rebelling at the same time, requiring the Master Templar’s presence and expertise.
    One cannot account fully for how a cavalier might break, if their faith is weak or their genome is faulty or their personality is unsuitable.

    (Colum bears witness to the death of the previous Master Templar's cavalier primary. He hides Silas from seeing it.)

    Summary

    She had noticed through careful observation that the majority of necromancers behaved weirdly at dinner events. Particularly necromancers of Ianthe's calibre - or of whatever, significantly lower calibre the rest of the Canaan House hopefuls were. Few of them had a normal relationship with food. It was only the very insufferable ones who thought they were special about it.

    (Ianthe + food. Set pre-canon and during the events of Gideon the Ninth)

    Summary

    Colum Asht had known, the moment the Ninth cavalier had been in the dining hall when they arrived, that today would be a difficult one to get his young uncle to eat properly. Silas Octakiseron sat on the other side of the table, staring at the food they’d been given by the skeleton servants as though it was poisoned, sin-filled, or both.

    (Colum tastes Silas's food to reassure his necromancer it hasn't been tampered with.)

    Summary

    Prince Kiriona doesn't quite know why her Father decided she needed to get married, nor does she know why He invited all Nine houses to stay on her personal station, The Prince's Throne, while she chose a bride. Or groom, technically, but it was only ever gonna be a bride.
    Still, with the heirs of eight Houses to choose from there's got to be somebody she can fall in love with!
    And~
    Love is the farthest thing from Harrowhark Nonagesimus's mind. She's here to save her ailing House, however she can. If only she can catch the eye of The Most Divine Heir, Prince Kiriona, she might yet pull the Ninth back from the brink... not that she knows the first thing about catching a prince's eye...

    Summary

    It’s the start of Year 6 at Hogwarts, and Harrow is a Slytherin prefect, top student, and all around bad bitch.

    The only thorn in her side is her antagonist since childhood, Gideon Nav.
    If that annoying Quidditch star himbo would just leave her alone, everything would be lovely.

     

    Or: The enemies to lovers one where Harrow and Ianthe are toxic besties, Gideon likes to run her mouth, and both Harrow and Gideon are bad with feelings.

    Summary

    The trip should not be long; you are not taking a ship with a stele, because your House does not care to pay the Fifth more than their due, but the journey to the First House should not be long regardless. It will seem long to Silas, who has never been further than the moons belonging to the Eighth House proper, but not to you, because you have traveled alongside the Cohort before.

    A week. You have the provisions for it, and then the both of you will be in the care of the First House until such a time as the King Undying sees fit to either accept your head of House to serve him in even greater capacity or to reject him and send you both back to your House in shame.

    (Colum helps Silas with his very first experience of deep space aptitude dyspraxia.)

    Silas will search even unto hell for his cavalier and do whatever it takes for his forgiveness, but he is still pushed to the limit by hell's true nature.

    Summary

    Gideon managed to escape the Ninth House when she was fifteen years old. Chance dropped her on the Third House, where she's managed to make a decent - if not entirely legal - living for herself as a hired gun. The past is the past, until it isn't, and an unprecedented act of diplomacy threatens to pull it closer than ever.

    Canon Divergence where one thing happened differently. Okay, maybe two.

    Summary

    When he wakes, it’s to a cold, crisp white room, with you at his side.

    It takes him almost three hours, and though you know logically that this is not a cause for worry, you do worry. That knot inside of you untangles a little more when his eyelashes flutter open, and the fog slowly clears from his eyes.

    “Col-” He coughs, and winces, and you glance over with a frown at the half full cup of water the nurse had brought an hour before, regretful that he’d told you Silas wasn’t to eat for a day or drink for another few hours, “Colum…” Silas manages weakly, but manages nonetheless, and he certainly sounds as though he’d been stabbed through the neck. The cool depths of his voice are shallow and scratchy and hoarse - hoarser than even yours - but you are just grateful that he is even still alive to speak.

    Colum and Silas wake up in separate rooms of the hospital wing of the Erebos, a few hours apart. They finally make real progress on resolving their issues, and more.

    Summary

    The heirs to the Houses have been summoned to compete for the hand of God's only daughter, with the promise of Lyctorhood thrown in the mix. Harrow's only goal is to preserve her House, which she plans to do with or without Gideon Ptolemaia's hand in marriage. But the Princess — and the other postulants — aren't what she expected.

    AKA: Harrow competes in a contest to marry Gideon, but mostly makes friends she doesn't want, patches her relationship with her brother cavalier Ortus, and tries to figure out why looking at Gideon gives her migraines.

    Summary

    Silas wakes, and his first thought is that he is not alive.

    He can’t be. The last things he can recall are the abject horror and grief and a sharp pain in his neck, looking up into the face of something that was no longer his cavalier - his nephew, his Colum - as the world faded to nothing.

    He had died.

    He is fairly certain he had died.

    His second thought is that the afterlife is like a dream.

    He opens his eyes as a rhythmic, wet sound shifts into his awareness, turning his head head at the soft, low noise that accompanies it a moment later. The soft vocalization is familiar. It sounds like Colum.

    It sounds like Colum in pain.

    When he finishes turning his head - no stretch or pull at any wound that he swears upon his God he should have - he sees that Colum is very much not expressing pain.

    Silas wakes up after dying to his God pleasuring his cavalier. Surely it's all some post-consciousness dream?

    Summary

    You are a tool, and you believe this is a good life.

    You are nearing the end of your fourth decade in this wide universe, and all of it has been spent in service of one man, and through him your god. He was not a man when you were born. He did not even exist when you were born, years away from conception, only an idea in your mind and the minds of your brothers as the three of you trained and fought and sweated and bled together to forge yourselves and one another into the tools that would serve him once he came to be.

    When he was born, you despaired at the fact that you had not been chosen.

    It grated, for years. You had worked the hardest. You had prayed the hardest and most earnestly. You had wanted it the most, and yet you were only designated the boy’s cavalier secondary, relegated to a lesser fate by a single drop of blood pricked from a newborn babe’s heel.

    You tell and tell yourself for years that you are simply lucky to even be your young uncle’s cavalier secondary, until it becomes true to you.

    In another universe, Silas Octakiseron becomes a Lyctor.

    Summary

    Harrowhark Nonagesimus, the one and only surviving child of the Duke of Drearburh, played the part of heiress quite well. In any appearance she made in public (although there were not very many), she was as proper as they come, a true testament to the excellence of the Nonagesimus lineage, a credit to her family line. It is what she must be, and therefore, it is what she was. A perfect daughter, and soon to be a perfect bride.

    Though, if we’re being completely transparent, bride is not at all what Harrowhark wished to be.

    Summary

    When you’d asked him for permission about a year after Canaan House to participate in inter-House ranked tournaments, he had simply said, “When and where must we go, Brother Asht? I will make the necessary arrangements.”

    You had filled out the forms, and he had spoken to the relevant people, and you’ve been participating regularly ever since. You always travel together. It’s the only time the two of you leave the Eighth for anything but official House business or social invitations it would be undiplomatic to decline, and it’s been a good experience for you both, you think.

    But that’s not the only thing that’s changed between the two of you in the years since Canaan House.

    You hear the door creak open, hear a heavy lock ‘thunk’ into place, and you don’t bother to open your eyes or move from under the hot spray until there is bare skin against yours and soft lips pressed firm and demanding to your own.

    Silas never wastes any time in coming to see Colum after his tournament duels.
