So :eyes: is there any fic/masterpost for the BOE Harrow AU?

I kinda made one a while back but I've lost it and it also wasn't the greatest so fuck it just gonna make a new summary of the idea because heck it. Massive spoilers for if I ever end up writing this out as a fic. (For those not in the know this is basically a summary of the big ol idea in my head for a BoE Harrow AU I came up with with a friend and it has possessed me body and soul ever since) SPOILERS FROM THIS POINT ON - G1deon manages to catch Wake just a little earlier than he does in the regular timeline. He ends up discovering and taking baby Gideon before kicking Wake out the airlock to her death. So Gideon is Kiriona from the get go and raised by John from her baby years. Insufferable Crown Prince to the max. In addition, in this timeline Kiriona is a necromancer as in the Nova AU. - The Rev. Parents still try their 200 soul murder sex gambit. However in this timeline, as with the Nova AU, Harrow has absolutely ZERO ability as a necromancer. When she's about ten all hope is given up that she is just a 'late bloomer'. - The Rev. Parents summon the surviving Ninth and tell them all what they did. That they went all in on their gamble, that they killed the ninth, and that their (in their eyes) failure of a daughter wasn't even a success for all that sacrifice. The Ninth basically erupts into chaos after that with most of them killing each other before the Rev. Parents and their 'side' win. They decide the ninth ends here. The survivors all hang themselves, including child Harrow. - As the ninth chokes its last, one by one, all their constructs start falling apart. One, though - the one made from Wake's bones - is freed enough for her revenant to take over. She walks through the halls of the dying until she finds a choking Harrow near death. On the brink of passing out and utterly delirious, Wake saves Harrow and then slips into the back of her mind as Alecto did in the normal timeline. Biding her time there. - During the chaos of the ninth tearing itself to pieces a shuttle attempting to flee crashed into the prison higher up the shaft. Caused enough damage to give the prisoners there a chance to stage a breakout. - Most of the prisoners just flee, but a small amount (A BoE cell, specifically Ctesiphon Wing) realizes that with everyone on the planet dead and the ninth already being such a backwater that they can just take over and use the place as a secret base within the Dominicus system. Just send out reports now and then to convince the rest of the Empire that it is business as usual. - We Suffer finds Harrow, near death, having been saved from hanging. After having Harrow held in containment for a long while she is eventually released and adopted in all but name by We Suffer. - Harrow grows up under the BoE on the ninth just festering in rage and spite and hatred. For her parents, for the ninth, for the empire, for the emperor undying. Wake squatting in the back of her skull only makes matters worse. She ends up taking the BoE name of Cry Havoc and Let Slip the Dogs of War One True Pop to Lead you in the Summer to Join the Black Parade. Or just Havoc. - Because Harrow has massive sensory issues with having her face bare and nothing will convince me otherwise, but she also doesnt want to paint her face ninth style anymore, she digs through BoE's scattered archives of old earth and finds out about 'the ancient warrior poets - the Juggalos' and takes up their paint for herself.
