    Summary

    The operation to the Ninth House has been a failure to all involved. Commander Wake failed to deliver her bomb, and Gideon the First failed to kill her.

    He did succeed, however, in stranding her broken shuttle.

    Alone, drifting without thrust or communications in deep space, Wake has dwindling options. There’s a limited supply of oxygen and food. There’s no way to tell if rescue is coming.

    And the cryochamber housing her undetonated bomb had to go and fucking break.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    An actually believable and good story of how a person that was perfectly okay with detonating a newborn ends up tolerating it.

    Summary

    She feels like he’s peeling every layer of her being, one by one by one. And when he gets to her bones, he’ll find something she’ll never be able to run away from.

    “…you,” the stranger says, his hands flexing into fists. Unclenching again. “You are…”

    Gideon holds her breath. She doesn’t know why she thinks so, but it seems to her that Harrow does as well.

    The corner of the man’s lips twitches up in a smile.

    “You’re the spitting image of your mother.”

    Or: what if Pyrrha rescued Gideon from the Ninth as a child?

    Summary

    The children will learn here, as much reading and mathematics as she can cram into their heads. But more than anything, she wants this school to be a place that feels like a home. Joli thinks that as long as she can help any of the children feel safer in this strange world they’ve inherited, she’ll have done her job.

    She’s never going to feel ready, but this is probably as good as it’s going to get. Now all she needs are some students.
