 it's about the bones (Fanfic)
comment
A The Locked Tomb fanfic by oriflamme.Two hundred children of the Ninth House were murdered in an attempt to conceive the perfect necromancer who could lead the House back to glory. Instead, one of the children to be sacrificed, a foundling named Gideon, was awakened to her own necromantic power and became the greatest necromancer anyone had ever seen. The leaders of the House adopted her for their own and named her their heir.Their actual child, with no necromantic potential, was left out in the cold.Harrow Nova has spent her entire life learning the sword, because she never had the potential to be a necromancer. Despite her violent hatred of Gideon Nonagesimus, she will become her cavalier even if it kills both of them. She does indeed become her cavalier, even if largely by default after an assassination attempt, and goes with Gideon to Canaan House.Somehow, Gideon manages to make Harrow a Lyctor instead of herself. This confuses everyone greatly.Now, on an ancient space station and surrounded by even more ancient Lyctors, Harrow has to learn how to become cavalier and necromancer both. In this task, she is trained by Gideon the First, the Saint of Duty, who seems to have sudden bursts of personality shifts that often involve hugging Harrow.Honestly, everything would be perfect for Harrow if not for her dead necromancer constantly narrating her life.Can be found here.

Eye Color Change: Gideon's necromantic potential awakening as a baby was marked by her eyes turning from gold to black-in-white, like God's. Then when she made Harrow into a Lyctor, Harrow got those same eyes, which confused everyone to no end.

Master Swordsman: Harrow is a stick with no muscle and less weight, so she had to compensate by becoming the best with the sword.

The Quiet One: The Body never spoke to Gideon for years, and rarely spoke to Harrow except to give her very quick warnings. Gideon is rather surprised when she suddenly starts speaking full sentences.

comment
Parental Substitute: Gideon repeatedly lampshades that the Saint of Duty is giving Harrow more parental approval in two days than she previously got in her entire life. Pyrrha, in particular, loves Harrow, and takes possession of the body with increasing frequency to train with her.

comment
Belligerent Sexual Tension: In-universe. Ortus' poem about Matthias Nonius includes a lot of suggestive language between him and a Lyctor he's fighting, to Harrow's disgust. That Lyctor was in fact Gideon the First, and Ortus got a lot closer to the truth than anyone realized.

comment
Don't Think, Feel: Gideon absolutely refused to ever use a necromantic theorem, and only learned the terminology enough to keep Harrow's parents off her back. Instead, she just did everything by feel. This, it should be noted, is absolutely impossible, to the point that the only other person in ten thousand years who has done it is God.

comment
Foreshadowing: Pretty much everything to do with The Body. Harrow can produce saltwater on command. That's not actually a necromantic ability. Mercymorn calls Harrow a "cuckoo." Cuckoo birds steal into the nests of other birds and pretend to be something they're not. Yeah, she wasn't calling her crazy. Ianthe is repeatedly getting worn down by her incomplete Lyctor transformation. It turns out that, with Harrow being a success this time around, the Saint of Duty has been trying to kill her. Both Gideon and Harrow are horrified that they never realized it.

comment
Healing Factor: Harrow's healing actually works correctly this time around, because she's a perfect Lyctor despite having come at it from the wrong way around. Furthermore, it's implied that Gideon had her own when she was alive. When she gets her body back, she sees the giant hole in her chest and fixes it in a blink.

Red Baron: As usual, the Saints get titles. The irony of Mercymorn being the Saint of Joy gets brought up. The new Lyctors are too young to have titles yet. Harrow does think of a decent one, while in the one place that Gideon can't hear her thoughts.

Role Swap AU: "Harrow Nova" are the most common form of this in the fandom, since it was literally suggested in the text of Harrow the Ninth.

In Spite of a Nail: The events of Canaan House apparently went reasonably close to canon, including the part where Harrow became a Lyctor. Which shocked everyone because she's the cavalier, and that should absolutely not be possible.

Adaptational Context Change
 it's about the bones (Fanfic) / int_f33ff01c
comment
Adaptational Context Change: Harrow being a Lyctor is an entirely different context here, since she was the cavalier. God treats this as mildly mysterious, Mercymorn and Augustine treat it as horrifying, and the Saint of Duty stoically treats it as the greatest gift they've ever been given.

Easily Forgiven: Mercymorn tries to assassinate Harrow, and God only stops her at the last second. He then proceeds to do absolutely nothing to punish her. Harrow isn't exactly happy about this.

Death Seeker: Gideon, apparently, was even worse about this than in canon. When she was given the whole explanation of her power and the two hundred children, she immediately rolled away the Rock of the Tomb in an attempt to die.
