I have been going nuts looking for a specific fic, and I cannot find it.

I think it was written before Harrow the Ninth came out, because there's no mention of the lobotomy or Gideon's parentage. Harrow is a lyctor, Gideon is dead, and Alecto has been released. Harrow replaced her in the Tomb with Gideon, and has returned to the Ninth with Ianthe intending to seal herself inside with Gideon's corpse.

It has a sort of of Hozier "In a Week" vibe, and I think the summery is something along the lines of "She had given a lifetime to Ianthe, more time than most people ever had together, but she has an eternity to give to Gideon." Or if that's not the summery, a similar line appears in the fic.

I've been looking for it for ages, and I'm a little afraid the author might have deleted it because canon went in such a different direction.

Does anyone know where this fic is? Or at least remember it too, so I know I didn't just dream it?

#the locked tomb #harrow nonagesimus #gideon nav #it's sort of background harrianthe #in the sense that Harrow and Ianthe were romantically involved for deacades #both with the full acknowlegement that Harrow never got over Gideon #Gideon's body was being preserved by some kind of necromantic field?#she was dead but perfectly preserved #the fic ends with Harrow releasing the stasis field and curling up in her arms intending to rot there together
