Summary
Prince Ianthe Naberius loses her self, soul, and sanity—not that anyone has time for that.
Also, Paul got a little more touched by permeability of the soul than intended and might be thinking about the Tridentarii too much. (They blame their predecessors.)

Summary
Ianthe's talent to wriggle into places she doesn't belong and take root there is not something Harrow is immune to. Weakened by her desperation for safety, she accepts the quirks and consequences that accompany choosing to trust Ianthe. That doesn't mean she's prepared for Ianthe to get *completely* comfortable in her bed, but it doesn't mean she wants to kick her out either.
TW: Ianthe <3

A Universal Constant by godlikeadog

30 Aug 2025
Tags
Summary
Harrowhark Nonagesimus knew two things: she knew she was the greatest necromancer of her generation, and she knew Gideon Nav.
"Gravity," her hands tensed around Gideon's wrists, "is a universal constant that is, in a literal and metaphorical sense, grounding. It is inescapable. Given enough time, it will flatten each and every one of us into grave dirt. It is a force created by a massive object pulling a smaller one into orbit and keeping it there; it holds us to the planet, the planets to Dominicus, Dominicus to space itself. I have even heard that gravity can undo physical realities and squeeze light out of existence."
//
Canon divergent AU in which Harrow beats Gideon to the punch on self-sacrifice and leaves Gideon to deal with the fall-out and feelings.

Summary
“Fine,” Harrow said, leaning back. “Now. The truth.”
Gideon blinked, confused. “I just gave it to you.”
“You gave me the easy part. The vague confession. That’s not the truth. That’s cowardice dressed up as honesty. In my church we name our desires with clarity and awareness.” Harrow looked at Gideon, expecting.
Gideon scowled. “You want a name?”
“I want your shame,” Harrow said, so simply that it knocked the breath out of Gideon’s chest. “You came here to give it. So give it, nothing less.”
OR
Gideon and harrow return after lyctorhood and live their normal lives with slight changes. Gideon seeks forgiveness although forced, Harrow is willing to forgive.
With a different way of penance of course.
The author lived in the deep southern small town majority of their life so I mean business but I haven’t followed the religious teachings of Christ in quite a few years and I don’t follow catholic teachings at all, forgive me if I’m inaccurate, correct me if I’m wrong. Plenty of smut to make up for it of course.

Summary
Gideon Nav is not a necromancer, even if she can technically raise a couple of skeletons. When Harrowhark sabotages her shuttle and forces her to pretend to be her cavalier, all Gideon wants is the chance to get off-planet. Between a vow of silence, secret notes between the original Lyctors, and something on the First hunting them down one by one, Gideon barely has the time to worry about hiding her necromantic aptitude.

Summary
“Tell me or kiss me, those are your options if you want in.” Ianthe had a hand on either side of the doorway, blocking it, as she smiled down at Harrow.
“These terms are absurd. I cannot tell you my reasoning and I will not kiss you,” Harrow said.
“Then you will never know the secrets to Lyctorhood and beyond, Ninth,” Ianthe said. Harrow turned as if she might walk away. “Oh come on, Harry, tell me you’re not afraid of a little tongue on tongue?”
The mistress of the tomb stopped still, head bowed, and fists clenched. Then she abruptly came toward Ianthe.

Summary
Thedas is being terrorized by an old, familiar threat: The Resurrection Dragons.
Unlike ordinary dragons, they cannot be killed by mortals. The only people who can kill these 'Castrum Draconis' are Nevarran Lyctor-Saints, led by the Undying King. As the South continues to fight Corypheus, the Undying King has called for another Lyctor Trails, after the last one ended nearly a decade prior with no explanation.
Emmrich Volkarin finds himself chosen as the first 'Commoner' Lyctor-Heir, but instead of Agnes Gallatus becoming his Cavalier, Ishtar Ingellvar is picked for him. Through a small and nearly forgotten ruling, Agnes Gallatus is allowed to accompany Emmrich as he and his new Cavalier undergo the trails.
"… But should we learn of Ms Gallatus intervention in the trials, be it to help or hinder, Mr Volkarin will be stripped of rank, life, and burial rites.”
— On behalf of the Undying King, His Royal Majesty and Living Blade in service to the Maker, his Bride, and the nation of Nevarra, King Markus Calogera Sacrimoni Phillipe Pentaghast -
Look Me in the Eye by MortonMurphy

Summary
You think about my last moments, from time to time. You think of the gasp that left my throat, of the wideness of the eyes that now rest in your sockets. You hear Corona’s screams, while tasting the tang of my blood in your mouth as you forced my soul down your throat–all while trying to drown out Corona’s sobs.
Is THIS why you can’t look at Augustine the First at all, as he drowns? Is this why you instead focus on shooting the breeze with the Necrolord Prime–as if your big brother lyctor isn't dying because of you at this very instant?
After dooming him, you can’t even do him the honor of looking him in the eyes.
...honestly, this is so on brand for you, Ianthe.
OR, Ianthe makes a decision on who to save, and the guy whose soul she ate judges her about it.

Summary
Once upon a time, there was a little girl, and she was very sad, because her parents had died.
No, wait, that’s not right. You can do better than that. Among your many terrible debts, you owe exacting honestly most of all. You simply cannot afford the luxury of self-deception.
Once, there was a little girl, and her parents were very dead, because she was sad.
(Or: Girls in coffins. Swords. Chest cavities. Unreality. Tea with biscuits. The ever-present stink of rotting roses. Harrowhark Nonagesimus has a terrible time at Ohtori Academy.)

Summary
Trapped in a sequence of dying realities—a hospital,a false Ninth, a pristine, impossible First House—necromancers and cavaliers are tested not for strength, but for bond.
The world wants them perfect.
Something else wants them undone.
And at the center of it all, Harrow and Gideon fall into a love so sharp and slow it might destroy them before salvation ever comes. -
Death First to Vultures and Scavengers by Roguelike
Fandoms: Arcane: League of Legends (Cartoon 2021), The Locked Tomb Series | Gideon the Ninth Series - Tamsyn Muir
05 Apr 2025
Tags
Summary
Across the Nine Houses, a summons is sent. More Lyctors are needed. For many necromancers, like Ambessa, Mel, and Silco, this is an opportunity for power. For others, like Jinx, a chance at redemption, reclamation. For Viktor and Dr. Reveck, a chance at life itself. No matter what, glory awaits the chosen few, their cavaliers by their side.
Or so everyone thinks. The reality is a lot less glamorous. Shifting allegiances, old enemies reunited, and the biggest shock of all: what it really costs to achieve Lyctorhood.
Do you like TLT? Do you like Arcane? Do you like angst? Do you like ridiculous plotlines and bizarre crossovers? Boy do I have the fic for you.

Side Piece by MortonMurphy

Summary
Harrowhark didn’t want her name in lights. She didn’t want to step alongside you, further into lyctorhood, into glory. She didn’t want to share the experience, to look upon you with the eyes of her cavalier and see someone as great as her. Someone else who’d been able to ascend, to grace the presence of the Emperor Undying. She’d rather fall apart at the seams for her supposed meat shield than acknowledge you.
Side. Piece.
Not even that. You’re an uneasy ally, your lobotomy was essentially a booty call, a desperate plea to preserve the one she actually gives a rat’s ass about. You have to know that you’re below a dead meathead on the Harrowhark priority rankings.
Ouch.
Maybe that’s why you elect, after a period of awkward silence, to leave her in a pile of tepid water and her own blood, wheezing softly.
OR, Ianthe comes upon Harrowhark at the end of Ch. 24 of HtN, in the aftermath of the Saint of Duty's bath-ambush.

Summary
“Oh, come on, Harry. This is just the natural progression of things. Have you never been to one too many sleepovers with a girl, and you get a little close—maybe one of you keeps getting attacked by some psycho with a spear, or whatever—and eventually someone just has to rip the bandage off and make a move or you both will be stuck in tortuous purgatory for the rest of your lives?”
“I did not have… sleepovers.”
