    Summary

    The letter from the Lord of Varenne was rather curt.

    “I’d like to contract your services for the purpose of finding my son a wife. If the proposed terms are acceptable, respond accordingly.”

    Well. He could have slipped a please or maybe a thank you in there, but Ancel supposed the enclosed sum more than made up for it.

    (Or: Ancel helps Berenger find a wife)

    Summary

    In less than a week, Gideon would be surrounded at any moment by goggling children and fawning women, and their interactions would consist of Gideon winking at Harrow from over the heads of her entourage as she took endless selfies. It was excruciating to watch, but at the moment, felt preferable to watching Gideon awkwardly scratch her head and ask “How’s stall set-up going?” as if it would ever be possible for the two of them to have a normal conversation.

    ****

    It’s Harrow’s last year selling bone jewelry at the Dominicus Renaissance Faire before she finishes her PhD. Which means one last summer putting up with Sir Gideon, the obnoxious knight that’s been a thorn in Harrow’s side for the past three years. Except, Harrow made out with her at last year’s end of season party, and things have only gotten more complicated since then.

    Summary

    "I do have a suggestion," John said, coming to take a seat beside her. She sat up and squared her shoulders. When John wanted to sit beside her, it usually meant the conversation coming next would leave her agitated and tired. "I think you need to produce an heir of your own."

    Kiriona stared. Seconds of silence passed by with only her wide eyes and John's impassive glance. Finally, she burst into raucous laughter, going so far as to slap her knee.

    or

    Gideon Nav's 57th escape attempt works, but she stumbles right into God. Divinity kind of sucks. At least John lets her pick her own wife.

    Harrowhark doesn't get a choice.

    Summary

    Four months of Gideon Nav's life in which she sees Harrow once and thinks about her a lot, sees Ianthe a lot and punches her once, breaks up with her girlfriend, experiences the complete and total agony of being in love, survives being in a bridal party, wears some silly outfits, and deals with some punk rock parental issues. Probably not in that order.

    (And one month where everything is mostly wonderful.)

    Summary

    Griddle,

    While only a fool would claim absolute comprehension of life and death (and He is now, as you say, ‘space dust,’), I can assert with confidence that you, Gideon Nav, are not dead.

    I have provided a short bibliography of relevant works on post-mortuary thanergy should you wish to self-study on the topic, but given that the number of ‘titties’ in those works is negligible (but perhaps interestingly, not ‘none’), my assumption is that you’ll bin it immediately.

     

    Know this, then. I would know in the farthest reaches of my soul if you were dead.

    Harrowhark Nonagesimus

     

    -----
    A post-Harrow the Ninth AU. Gideon and Harrow find themselves splitting a timeshare in Harrow’s body, and like so many fools before them, trying to work out their feelings in the mail.
