Summary
Gideon Nav fucked up her last gig playing in a wedding band, and is broke.
Palamedes needs a bassist for his experimental goth band after the band's two founders have a falling out.
-or-
Every summer her friends tour with The Daughters of The Ninth. But she had only seen photos and videos of dark venues and Palamedes front and center next to a limp looking blonde. Not Gideon’s aesthetic, but a little more eyeshadow than usual wasn’t going to keep her from an opportunity to work with her friends. After playing ABBA song after ABBA song, along with some other white people dance songs interspersed between, she felt relieved to play something for the joy of it alone.
But Gideon Nav had noticed a problem with Palamedes and Camilla’s other bandmates: She wasn’t sure they were real. Not until the small titty goth girl of her dreams sweeps onto the stage last minute.
Unfortunately, she's also the pinched face of her childhood nightmares.

Summary
The fate of Drearburh lies on the shoulders of its Duchess, Harrowhark Nonagesimus. With debts piling up and a castle in disrepair, Drearburh can only survive if Harrow manages to find a wealthy spouse who will pull her out of financial ruin. Harrow would do anything to preserve her family name - even if it means giving up on her feelings for Gideon Nav, the stableboy she's been hopelessly in love with since childhood.
Gideon Nav has been at Harrow's mercy ever since Drearburh took her in as a baby. When Harrow offers to release Gideon from her service in exchange for escorting her through the social season, Gideon finally sees a way out. But, as she begins to see through the cracks in Harrow's facade, Gideon realizes that helping Harrow get married might be more complicated than she thought. And why has King Gaius taken such an interest in her?

Summary
It was like watching a puppeteer pull all of Harrow’s strings simultaneously, Gideon thought; the little hagette stood straighter, though not taller- she was still five foot nothing, more furious purse dog than shaking purse dog- but she nodded firmly, once, before turning to Cam.
"Very well,” she said. “Marry me, Camilla.”
A vicious spit-take on Gideon’s part translated to one exceptionally high eyebrow in Cam, but nothing more.
“Like I said,” Cam began carefully, “I’m married to Dulcie, and unfortunately, polyamory is not recognized under the UCMJ. I can’t marry you without her losing her benefits.”
Then, because Cam was the absolute worst, she shrugged and said, offhandedly,
“Why don’t you marry Gideon?”- or -
Harrow needs health insurance, and Gideon needs Harrow (to not be a dick.) What better way to provide for them both than a little light fraud between frenemies?
