    Summary

    "Do you dance or do you just stare?" Vi asks, loud enough over the music. Direct. Topside here needs a little honesty. And, yeah, she is a damn enforcer, with that good posture and the surprise in her eyes, like she knows exactly why no one's approached her before, and she came here for that reason, getting a taste of the trenches without worrying about the trenchers. She can take off the uniform but they see it on her anyway—and who else but Vi to want to fuck danger?

    Summary

    Gideon doesn't strictly mean to speak out loud when she hears herself say, “you look good.”

    Harrow freezes, mid-drink and a pink flush spreads over her cheeks. She blinks a few times then bites on her lip.

    Gideon regrets it so quickly adds, “y’know, for the devil incarnate,” sticking to the approved script.

    Harrow takes another drink, pretending to be indifferent to this. “Is that your attempt at flirting?”

    / Or - two bitter exes, a set of twins, a scientist and a skeptic walk into a bar...

    Summary

    “Don’t have a tantrum,” Gideon rolls her eyes. “You’re only proving my point.”

    “And what exactly is your point?” Harrow growls through gritted teeth.

    “You seem a little bit… pent up, oh mistress of gloom,” Gideon teases.

    / In which living with Gideon Nav is sending Harrowhark slowly insane.

    Summary

    In honour of the coming of age of Her Most Serene Highness, Crown Prince Kiriona Gaia, the Emperor Undying extends an invitation to the most eligible women of his nine Houses for ten days of merriment and celebration, concluding with the marriage of the Crown Prince to whomever she deems fit.

    The celebrations will begin nine days before the summer solstice, such that the Crown Prince will be married upon the solstice day. We kindly request no more than five ladies be sent per House, to encourage more personal connections between the Prince and the suitors.

    OR: Kiriona is hosting a series of balls to find a wife, and Harrow is trying to save her dying House

    Summary

    Life with the Ravenclan is described by things Eivor is not. Not a bride. Not a daughter. Surely not a husband. She tries to be a sister, and even that cannot be called a success. What to do if there is nothing left to chose from?

    Some steam included (quite literally).

    Mostly canon-compliant minus the details of Kjotve’s demise. He died this way so the plot could thicken.
