Summary
By the tender and vicious age of four years old, Jeannemary Chatur had internalized three fundamental facts about her life:
She was destined to ship out with the Cohort and bring glory to the Emperor and her House;
She represented a long line of Cavaliers and was fiercely proud of her name and her role; and
Her necromancer sucked.Technically, he wasn't her necromancer yet. Technically there was a ceremony and an oath and Jeannemary would have to prove herself in order to be sworn in partnership to the then-three-and-a-half year old scion of the Fourth House, but: come on, everyone knew where this was going.
or, How Jeannemary Chatur Learned to Like Her Necromancer.

“Jeanne?” Isaac asked. He was standing in front of her, head tilted at the expression on her face, and he was-- fine. He was fine. “What’s wrong with you?”

Summary
"Are you certain, my lady?" Raimond's fingers tap against his sword hilt. A minor habit of his. He only ever does it when he's thinking of his son. "I hate to put you to such trouble. It is not your place, or the place of your House, to clean up my House's shameful....indiscretions."
Something hot and bright snaps through Aranessa's bones. It feels like a static shock, like ruffling someone's hair after a long run or standing right below a lightning strike. She swallows it smoothly, and does not let her face shift at all.
"Your House is my House, General," she says. It is the kinder option. The other option would be to remind him that he does not determine what is fitting for her place, at any time. It is, and always will be, the other way around. But words get sharp and tongues get loose at this hour of the evening, and she is an adult. She can keep a proper hold on hers. "It is no trouble. It is already done. Go to sleep. Keep the guard rotations as they are. Julien will be well in hand by tomorrow."
***
To sidestep further drama in House Davinos, Aranessa goes to fetch Julien from his latest night of fun.
It proves...challenging. In more ways than one.

Summary
In the fractious and academic Sixth, parenting is often a question of definitions – and Archivist Juno Zeta doesn’t know how to be a parent without being first a teacher and archivist: observing and guiding young Palamedes Sextus as a baby and toddler, discovering power; as a child making his first friend; as a boy falling in love; as a young man seizing the House. She stores it all away in the archive of her soul, as each fades from view.
Palamedes changes everything he touches – the House, the Universe, and perhaps most of all, himself. Juno Zeta was never the type to wander blind – not metaphorically, at least, but in the wake of voting for her home to change forever, and suffering the consequences, she’s in the dark about their new future - and about that new person, to whom she does not know if she’s parent, or teacher, or archivist. Paul hopes to shed a little light for them both.
Written for The Locked Tomb Big Resurrection Event 2023.

Not Quite Shining by senseoftheday

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
Nona’s not in the habit of pointing fingers—Pyrrha says that “blame is unproductive,” and Nona agrees with basically everything Pyrrha says—but if she were feeling particularly accusatory, she might have to say the whole entire thing was Noodle’s fault.
(or: Nona catches a fever, and learns something about love.)
