At least once a month I threaten to sell everything and buy an abandoned cemetery and learn to grow lemon trees within it and just spend the rest of my days eating haunted lemons

in an interesting case of linguistic convergent evolution, the english words scale, scale, and scale are all false cognates of each other

me, logging into ao3 5 minutes before bedtime: WAITER! bring me your finest enemies to lovers!

ao3 tag search function: excellent choice, sir! how would you like it cooked?

me: explicit. with a side of hurt/comfort

ao3: lovely! and may i suggest a drizzle of mutual pining?

me: of course, and can you add a spritz of angst? make it a 100k slowburn for good measure

ao3: coming right up, sir

me: thank you. oh, and waiter?

ao3: yes, sir?

me: make it gay

TLT is full of interesting and genius details. One of these details has to do with Cytherea's infiltration of Canaan House and thanergy.

In HtN, we learn that Lyctors usually don't have a thanergic signature. So, when I re-read GtN I asked myself the whole time: why does no one of the other necromancers notice that Cytherea doesn't have a thanergic signature?

But that's why Cytherea actually has a thanergic signature. She's probably the only Lyctor who constantly has a thanergic signature.

Thanergy (also known as death-energy) is caused by death. Since Lyctors are immortal, they don't die. But Cytherea dies the whole time even if she's immortal. She says about her Lyctorhood:

Her cancer compenses the thanergic deficit. She can do what no other Lyctor can: infiltrate Canaan House without being betrayed by a missing thanergic signature.
