In a very different Nine Houses, the Necrolord Prime has founded a city in the river for the billions of souls under his protection. However, the River is a dangerous place, and in order to protect His perfect afterlife each of the houses must provide pilots to move giant Jaeger called Saints to fight the monsters that besiege paradise.
And now He has put out a summons; each house must bring their Saint to Canaan Dome on the first House in order to defend against a threat even He has not foreseen.
Harrowhark Nonagesmius, the Reverend Daughter, is forced to bring a cavalier as a co-pilot (for the holy machines require a necromancer for moving and a cavalier for combat). And without Ortus, she is forced to bring her House's sole indentured slave to the muster. Surely time in the Drift can't possibly have an effect on their relationship, especially with the threat looming on their doorstep...

It's the time of year for Coronabeth's annual Halloween party. With a theme as interesting as "dress as your sexual awakening", Gideon cannot resist the chance to be a fucking problem.

Set loosely in the same universe as my fic "A rush of blood is not enough," but it can be read as a standalone modern AU. I quarantined the smut to chapter 2.

"Now that you mention it, though, there is something you could do for me.” He can feel the heat of her eyes through the screen, xenon blue and twinkling with mischief. She’s nibbling at her lower lip with one sharp white canine tooth. He scratches absently at the side of his neck and tries to recall how long it’s been since he last sported a bruise in the shape of her mouth.

“Oh?” he asks. The tips of his ears feel warm. “And what might that be? Surely nothing that’ll catch you a public indecency charge, I hope.”

“Please,” she scoffs, turning her head so he can see she's got her earbuds in. “As if. They just came by for last rounds, no one’s due in here ‘til morning. The door’s shut, I’m being quiet. They’re understaffed tonight, and they keep calling code grays for the poor guy three doors down. They’ve got their hands full.”

“Good lord,” he says mildly. “Have I told you lately that you’re insane?”

“You have,” she says, sweetly undeterred. Then, batting her lashes as if she hadn’t won already: “Please, kitten?"

“Fuck it,” he says, cheeks hot. "Deal me in."
