CHAPTER 1

''Hey, little one, why don't you come with me?'' an older man offered his hand to a little girl who was slightly petrified by him but still took his hand.

The man pulled the little girl to one of the cars in her family's driveway.

''The lights'' the little girl whispered. The man looked at her, she had stars in her eyes watching the lights from the cars flicker from red to blue.

''Agent Rossi, the girl needs to be taken to the hospital to get checked out'' a person in a fancy suit said to the man. He looked down at the girl who looked back at him. He looked back up at the person and led the girl to an ambulance.

The man was gonna leave, but, the girl did not let go of his arm.

''Please, stay'' the little girl whimpered. The man went with her to the hospital.

The entire ride to the hospital, the girl clings to the man, who let her play with his watch.

When they got to the hospital, the man followed the nurses as they led the girl and himself to a bed.

A doctor came and did a bunch of tests and told them to wait for some time.

While waiting, the man sat with the little girl, keeping her occupied with her soft deer toy.

The doctor came back after a while and told the man that the girl was fine, she was just a little shaken. Social services were there to take the little girl away.

“What’s your name?” the little girl asked the man. “My name is David Rossi, what’s yours?”

“Asher Yung'' the little girl said smiling widely at Rossi. He smiled back at her.

''David, how have you been?'' a social worker asked him that just continued to hold Asher.

''I've been wonderful, look, I wanna ask for a favor?'' Rossi asked the worker that just gave him a confused look. ''Alright, what is it about?''

''Maybe you can pull a few strings to let me take care of Asher'' he said and the worker nodded. ''I think I might be able to do that''

A 2 months later, Asher stayed with Rossi in his huge house. She had gotten an entire room to herself. The room was huge and had all of her favorite things in it.

''Asher, can you come downstairs?'' Rossi shouted for the girl. ''Okay''

Asher ran down the stairs to be met by Rossi in the living room. She ran up to him and he grabbed her to hug her.

''I have a surprise for you'' he held Asher as he began to walk into his office. ''What is it?'' Asher said giving Rossi a toothy grin.

''Why don't you open that box and find out'' Rossi let Asher down and she immediately went to the box.

Asher jumped back when she saw that the box was moving. The box tipped over and something fell out.

It was a puppy. More specifically it was an English mastiff.

''Is it for me?'' Asher asked Rossi that nodded in response. She went forward to touch the puppy that brought its nose up to her hand, wondering if it liked Asher or not.

The puppy decided that it liked Asher and licked her hand. Asher sat down and the puppy went to sit in Asher's lap.

''What do you want to name him?'' Rossi asked. ''Ares''

''A wonderful name for such a brave dog'' Rossi said.

17 years later....

Asher and Spencer walked into a lecture hall where Gideon was giving a presentation on one of his old cases.

The class looked at them when they opened the door, as well as Gideon. Spencer pointed at the folder he was holding and Gideon nodded.

He excused himself from the lesson and followed Asher and Spencer out of the hall.

Spencer and Asher were bringing Gideon up speed. ''They're calling him the Seattle Strangler''

''Four victims in four months''

Birthday Boy

A very serendipitous commission for me. From @tracerfoxer​ for his buddy Jamezfox on FA.

I decided to do lighting like that one bit in Rock Dog and now it looks like Gideon spiked the cake.

[dabblingreturns]

Strong opinion: Gideon Nav is not a golden retriever!

Gideon is a husky. She's opinionated, strong, very self sufficent, tough as nails, and also a dramatic bitch!

To follow this up

Marta Dias: German Shepard, she shows up, ready to work, does her job as a professional and looks forward to her kibble at the end of the day.

Coronabeth Tridentarius: Standard Poodle. Under all that hair and good breeding is a frighteningly compitent hunting dog just waiting to show you that she is the best and exactly why you should love her.

Naberius Tern: sadly that boy is a toy poodle. And he's doing the best with what he has...its a pitty about the yapping.

Jeanmarie Chatur: a young English lab or pointer...she's going to be the best there ever was if only she can get the chance to grow up.

Magnus Quinn: is the actual Golden retriever. His kind have been breed for years to be a part of the family, he loves you and your kids...he's a goofball....he is perfect...

Camilla Hect: mid sized terrier. Yes, she looks cute with her big personality and messy coat, but she never lost the instincts that alowed her ancestors to run into Badger dens and fight the enemy on thier own ground. She is smart and visious and determined and she loves her person.

Protessalous: the mutt you had growing up who passed away when you were a teen. He isn't any clear breed....but somehow all other dogs are measured up to him and found a bit wanting...

Colum asht: mastiff....he's big, overbreed, designed for one use only (to put fear in the hearts of his enemies) and won't live as long as the other dogs. But he's doing his best.

Thinking some Thoughts about a daemon AU for the Locked Tomb folks (based on the incredibly detailed personality outlines over at daemonsandanalyses and the Daemon Forum index). 

Cam’s would settle as a peregrine falcon - every bit as keen - eyed and sharp as she is while also being incredibly loyal, protective, practical and straightforward. More often than not he’s perched at her shoulder, chirruping dry quips in her ear, but occasionally if Cam’s own efforts aren’t working he’ll light down on Palamedes’s desk and stare with the full force of his piercing yellow eyes until the necromancer agrees to go to bed.

Harrow’s daemon settled very early on as a cat - a scraggly little thing, his wiry fur the same mottled white and gray as powdered bone. When she was young, he would curl up and sleep on her desk while she studied or gently tap her with a paw to ground her when she wasn’t sure of what she was seeing. As the awful events of her childhood unfolded, he grew much colder and more distant, and was rarely ever seen with her outside of church services / official Ninth functions - unless she was especially angry. Then he was right there with her, puffed up and hissing with feral rage, lashing out as only a scared, hurting creature could. 

(When things start getting better - when they start to heal - he quietly takes it upon himself to voice the feelings she can’t express. He winds his way around Gideon’s ankles, purring like a thunderstorm, baps Pal gently with his tail, settles by Cam’s feet and slow blinks up at her before sending a silent message through his bond to Harrow: We’re keeping them. They’re good, and they’re ours, and we’ll work to deserve them one day.)

Gideon’s daemon has always been a canine of some kind, but her breed shifted and warped with the weather back on the Ninth - a wolf, a mastiff, a sleek, muscly Doberman pinscher or a stocky pit bull. Always tough and scrappy enough to help them both in the next bloody fight (or see them through their first battle on the front lines). Much, much later, after taking her oath in the pool beneath Canaan House, her daemon chooses the form of a russet brown husky - headstrong, opinionated, dramatic and reckless but unshakably loyal and true.

(She has a scarred - over scratch on her muzzle in the exact shape of sharpened cat claws. He has ragged chunks torn from his ear and tail by her teeth. They’ve always fought, tooth and claw and spit and snarl, but as their people reconcile, they rest side by side.)

[thunderon]

For your AU consideration: imagine Gideon's wolf form being a mastiff - sized beast with piercing golden eyes that is also the goofiest, sweetest creature in the world. She 100% embraces her "hug my friends" impulse on full moons and Will squash you flat under a mountain of fluff. She also has a deal with the Sixth duo to make sure that Harrow is NEVER home on a full moon because "I can't let her see me like that, Sex Pal, she'll know that I bark at my own reflection and never think I'm cool"

lmaoooo im imagining a convo like

harrow: how come i can’t be around during full moons? are you afraid you’ll attack me?

gideon: *thinking about how her stupid mutt self will probably try and cuddle with harrow like an overly affectionate lapdog*

gideon: yeah that’s it im too dangerous

[camarilla-intuition]

Locked Tomb Daemon AU concept notes.

I’m leaving old concepts in these notes but crossed out, since I considered a couple options for each character. Contains only spoilers for Gideon the ninth, not Harrow. that will be a seperate post some other time!

Gideon: Lion? Strawberry tiger? Eagle? Bearded vulture for its bone Eatin. Big, gold and red, wants sun and space and freedom, Feral ish. He/him. Settles sometime in the normal puberty range, never thinks about it to much, because what is there to think about. but his settling does relate to their internal decision that they gotta get out of the Ninth for the second. Just as vocal with other people as Gideon is, which is odd to other houses where sometimes daemons just don’t address other humans.

Harrow: Cotton mouth? Weasel? Horned sea snake, something that doesn’t know what the sun can do for it, salt water, venomous, slow on land, faster in the water which they don’t know, also wears bone paint. Weird intense eyes. She/her. Spends most of her time coiled around Harrows neck. I might draw a little comic about her settling later? idk but its serious spoilers. She for sure settled early

Ianthe: oriental mini kingfisher? Small, Colorful, easily hidden? Blue headed hummingbird? Grey or Pied Butcherbird, Duller colors, surprising violence, corvid, song bird, makes symbolic sense out of her stabbing Nabs through. She/her

Coronabeth: bird of paradise or golden pheasant, he/him, constantly strutting into room ahead of her, grooming hair and other twos feathers in private. 

Naberius: Peahen Demoiselle crane? She’s Spurred and capable of fighting. Viewed as a matching set to the girls, iridescent feathers on neck. Less attention grabbing. Than Coronabeth but still pretty n vain.

Palamedes: wears a moth pin deceptively, long tailed weasel, stoat? Something with clever hands. She/her

Camilla: fisher cat, otter? Monitor lizard or Frill necked lizard? Also wears a moth pin. He/him

Abigail: ram, he/him,  

Magnus: mastiff or leonberger dog

Jeannemary: unsettled, Likes being a mimic of others based on the admiration she feels in certain scenes. he/him

Isaac: unsettled for most of book, likes being a hooved animal like Abigails, lots of pack species associated with fourth house. He/him. Settles into something maybe after the murder? uncertain. maybe beagle?

Judith: pony or working horse?

Marta: German Shepard? Gold retriever? Lots of practical working animals in second house

Dulcinea: Orchid mantis

Protesilaus: small Copper butterfly

These are stereotypical for seventh house. Easily mimic-able by Cytherea(will detail in harrow spoiler separate post)

Silas: a leech or tick spider monkey, douc, mangabey, White washed or albino. Freely handles colum’s daemon during soul siphoning. Not vise versa till right at the end maybe?

Colum: lab rat, spaniel type smaller dog?

Ortus: a shy Bull

Aiglamene: one eyed Horned Owl

Crux: a Shaggy Wolf or Coyote

World difference notes:

I’m not following the daemon gender=the gender of your romantic inclinations thing, just going with the feel of the daemons character.

Teacher and other first house constructs just don’t have daemons

People don’t bother identifying their animal species much, there are still the obvious, dogs are dogs and they have meanings like loyalty and companionship, but to most houses the difference between a wolf, a hyena, or a husky seem mostly behavioral that’s relegated to the individuals personality.... the exception is the 6th house who maintain a general knowledge of animal species and symbology of pre resurrection humanity to some extent.

Pal and Cam’s moth pins are not meant to last to long as far as tricks go, but do double as a kind of poker face, giving them a chance to read into the others daemons before people can see theirs. Also pretty common on 6th, where it’s not inappropriate or anything, but also discouraged to blatantly flaunt your daemon.

Sometimes its rumored that if you please God, he’ll tell you all about what your daemon Means. (this is where most of the 6th accounts come from).

There are stereotypes of daemons for each house, second is the most diverse but you’d see a lot of working animals, big ones are less a problem to daily life here than in some of the houses colonies. Third is known for ostentatious, haughty forms to match haughty peoples. Fourth, a lot of pack/schooling/family group animals. Fifth a lot of domesticated types. 6th seems to stay small with less fur or feather, more scales or other. Seventh is bugs, pretty ones esp. Eighth idk but i keep picturing paler colors. Ninth known for big sturdy things or guard dog types from its Cavs, and creepy crawlies from its Necros.

Rumors are that each house has some way to control the types they’ll settle into but its largely false. Eighth and Sixth probably get the most of it.

Dust is not a term used here probably died with Earth or fell out of fashion. Thanergy and Thalergy still the working terms, Sin is less of a prevalent theme, I’m thinking maybe they see Settling as a small death process?

ϟ. bio .

his siblings were his best friends, no one could ever make him change his mind on that. gideon was always in the thick of things with his family, playing with his brother or his sisters. he loved helping his parents around the house but was also always getting into mischief.

gideon was a huge quidditch fan. his father took them to games and he collected player cards and memorabilia. being a beater for gryffindor was like a dream come true.

gideon knew from an early age he liked boys and girls and it was something he never felt he needed to hide. he told his family when he was thirteen during the holidays after his first crush on a boy and it was like a huge weight had been lifted. he always wanted to be able to be himself with his family.

gideon loves animals and used to bring strays home. their parents always had to turn them away or keep them until they could find someone else to take them.

gideon was really crafty and always a bit of a prankster. he loved having fun and buying joke gifts. anything to get a laugh.

gideon took school seriously even if it didn’t seem like it. he was always a class clown, but he also took in information like a sponge. gideon did very well when he wanted to and when it came to his career, he really took it seriously.

marlowe traveling after hogwarts hit him hard, because she truly was his best friend. but he loved to see her grow and take on what she wanted in this world.

he wasn’t sure when becoming a hit wizard became his dream, but once he set his sights on it, he couldn’t think of anything else. gideon wanted to make the world a better place and he was going to do whatever he could for that to happen.

gideon was very loyal. if you were his friend, he would be your friend to the bitter end, but if you crossed him or someone you loved, he’d drop you just as quickly.
