#jeannemary the fourth

[bugcowboyart]

Blades of the Cavalier Primaries Displayed for your Appreciation

In house order from top to bottom. I’d be happy to explain the choices if anyone is interested!

[automatonwithautonomy]

something something jeannemary chatur at five challenging an adult for her honour and colum 'i do not pick and choose my decencies' asht. the fourth cavalier raised as cannon fodder and the eighth as a battery. their siblings they would've had watch die. clinging to the necromancers that refuse to eat them. dying horribly and preventably in canaan house. the only things they have are honour and their swords and their scraps of bloody family.

[the-butter-churner]

something something ulysses and titania being two "dead kids" and how the fourth house was founded by them and are meant to supply the military with bodies corpses generate more corpses and more often than not those kids die young something something jeannemary and isaac expecting to get shipped out at thirteen dying at fourteen something something fidelity fidelity fidelity

Would it be possible to hear more of your thoughts about the 5th absorbs the ninth au?

oh my god YES

i'm so deep in my tlt bre fic or i would already be writing this because i LOVE this au and will soon be reading EVERY fic with this concept (some of which are linked in the notes of the original post)

so i imagine this taking place a short while after harrow opens the tomb, a year or two at most

harrow is equal parts devastated w grief and fanatic with adoration for the body in the tomb

she is also NOT in the mood for the ninth to be absorbed by the fifth and is ready to fuckin throw down

of course by throw down, harrow means "glare at them until they go away and also bones" bc she's twelve and that's really all she can do

fifth's first trip to the ninth:

abigail: hel- those people are dead

harrow, currently manipulating the corpses of her parents: (drops from the ceiling like batman) begone, invaders, you are not- griddle!

gideon, who Should Not be there but saw a sword and thought "fuck it": (walks up to magnus) fight me old man

magnus and abigail immediately decide to adopt these children

magnus starts sparring with gideon and getting his ass handed to him, much to aiglamene's delight

abigail begins the daunting task of Earning Harrowhark Nonagesimus' Trust

she explains she doesn't actually want to take over the ninth and harrow can have it once she's eighteen

this inadvertently offends harrow and sets them back a month

the fifth quickly pick up that ortus is Not Into this whole cav business and make the pretty obvious connection that gideon should be harrow's cav and the equally obvious connection that both girls would Rather Die

cut to quinn and pent's epic quest to trick two preteens into accepting the fifth as their caregivers and becoming cav and necromancer

they also become the world's most awkward wingmen

magnus, during a sparring session: say, the reverend daughter looked very regal this morning, didn't she?

gideon, who has already adopted this man as a father figure: what the fuck mags how could you betray me like this

ortus is either besties with the fifth or actually fucking them like abigail pent would one hundred percent take one look at this chubby eloquent caring inept motherfucker and be like I Want That Bear Obliterated

at some point they get it into their heads that the girls need peer engagement so they bring jeanne and isaac to visit

harrowhark nonagesimus, who has never met a person younger than her, watching a nine-year-old jeannemary chatur vibrate with excitement: what the FUCK is That

gideon nav, whose only experience with people younger than her is harrow: what the FUCK is That

Jeannemary Chatur, Cavalier of the Fourth House, and her necromancer, Baron Isaac Tettares

[fourohfourlifenotfound]

Are non-audiobook readers aware that the voices for the 4th house teens are like really close to the Charlie the Unicorn voices? Like do you know?

[summersofsalt]

Here's my art for the TLT big resurrection event! It's a shot of the Fourth at Canaan House from @trans-bashir-julian's Isaac and Jeannemary fic, "when that which is perfect is come"

Fourth is for fidelity, facing ahead.

not to be old, but fourteen looks younger and younger every day

ummmm anyway. how do we think jeannmary the fourth, jeannemary the half-orphan, jeannemary of five sisters, jeannemary the last-to-die, jeannemary the-left-behind felt when those bones speared her? do you think it was relief? it's very fourth to die; it's equally so to have to live. she didn't have to go on without magnus or abigail, she didn't have to live without her necromancer. she didn't have to face how terminally she failed.

"I want to die" she said afterward. "Tough luck." - Gideon the Ninth, chapter 25, page 284.

I’ve drawn Isaac with a bowl cut twice and then realized on my reread that he has “upswept” hair… sorry I deprived you of your punk ‘do, bud; this is my apology

(Also I don’t think people wear their house colours all the time in ‘real life’, but everyone at Canaan House was there as the heir/representative of their home planet, so there was definitely some posturing going on)

[mxd-mortells]

you either where secretly dead all along or you live not nearly long enough and become dead anyways

[6th-for-truth]

I really do love this moment for Gideon, though. Let the poor kid have a fangirl and a bit of dessert. Goodness knows she's earned a sliver of positivity smooshed between all the awful.
