Summary
"The hard shine of it and the suppressed agony of triumph in the back of Gideon's head made her eyes water, and she was filled with a weird pride that was all her own. Holy shit. Perpetual bone. Harrow had actually cracked it.
She was too busy admiring her necromancer to catch the thick rope of vertebrae that looped around her waist and cinched tight."
Gideon is proud of Harrowhark. She's too busy fighting off a 10,000 year old murderous bone wizard to realize that Harrowhark is proud of her, too.
A retelling of chapter 36 of Gideon the Ninth, from Harrow's point of view.

Summary
After the death of her father, Clarke Griffin had lost everyone that she had cared about and all she had left was the sport that made her feel most connected to him. So with nothing left to keep her home, the college freshman left for her first year of school with a hope of replacing all that she`d lost. But when her new soccer captain, Lexa Woods, turns out to be more of a dictator than a teammate will Clarke find that she's in over her head? Or will she find herself ready to take the plunge when love strikes?
Waiting for Love to Strike is a modern day college AU that is rated mature mostly for later chapters. The central mold of the story takes place among a college soccer team but will focus less on soccer and more on the girls involved.

Summary
'Before you,' he said, 'you can see more women than warriors. Cowardly, unarmed, they will give up the moment they see the weapons and bravery of their conquerors who have given them such a drubbing so many times before.' (Tacitus, Annals XIV.36)
The first time Clarke sees the Head Girl she’s sitting on a throne, presiding over her dominion with a piercing stare and a crown of braids in her hair. Her warriors are spread at her feet, a multitude of them, all long-haired and wild and clad in identical brown regalia. There’s something of the sacred about her, like the crimson cloak draped across her shoulders and her divinity are one and the same.
Or at least it feels that way.
British girls' boarding school AU. Obviously.

Summary
Harrowhark Nonagesimus is a prodigy in the world of Forensic Anthropology, her publications focused especially on the rituals surrounding death and grieving around the world. But when the FBI needs help solving a cold case, the last thing she expected was for a ghost from her past to be leading the team.
Gideon Nav got out of Drearburh and never looked back when she joined the Army, where she proved herself with distinction over the next six years before being recruited to the FBI when her last tour was up. She's happy with her life, and with ignoring everything that came before boot camp. Until she has to face it again in the dark eyes of Doctor Nonagesimus.
It's a Bones AU y'all, and I have no idea where I'm going with it. But I hope you all enjoy the ride.

Sherlock Holmes, schoolboy. Yeah, that basically sums it up.
