“Should I be doubting you?” Hestia shook her head, the laugh indication enough that she wasn’t going to bother doubting him or question him for that matter. It was simple as that. A nod, to follow along his other words. “I am nothing if not that, aren’t I?” The Hufflepuff was indeed committed. Some might even claim overly so. Perhaps there was some truth to the fact that Hestia, at times, could hardly say no to work. It was something she had in common with a few of those she considered her friends. Workaholics among each other, or something along the lines.

She glanced at her bag for a moment, deciding against the usual habit of continuing work outside of work. “I’ll keep my files wrapped up. Consider it my treat. And the next round,” the witch pointed at the drinks. “Is on me. I feel I owe you that much.” - @gideonscprewett

"Are you doubting me?" He shakes his head, a smirk on his lips as he not actually offended but playing it up for the bit. Outside of work he could joke around and have a good time with his friends and coworkers, but he took his job seriously. "

"You are the picture book definition of committed, I'll admit." That's what made him respect Hestia so much, her dedication and commitment to the auror department. There were few in her department he trusted as fully as he did her. With Hestia on a case he knew the solve rate went up signifcantly.

part of the reason the locked tomb characters are so memorable and complex is because they are very, very weird in the way only writers who understand that every human being is a little freak in their own way. harrow is the standout example of this—she is unnerringly pious to the rites of her religion in a way that to others comes across as zealotry but once we get into her point of view is revealed to be both, yes, because she is a zealot and also because the rituals and safety of painting her face, praying, etc calm her down. she eats penitently because she actually hates strong tastes. she is both schizophrenic and quite literally haunted, facts that recontextualize her behavior in gtn in an important way.

gideon is a butch and this universe’s version of a jock, and the first thing we see her do is try to escape harrow and the ninth and join the army (something that’s forgotten a little too often when people talk about her being “out of character” in ntn) because she wants to have a purpose, but we also come to learn that despite being raised in the literal dreariest place in the solar system she’s funny, sometimes even on purpose. she doesn’t know what a salad is. she reads sleazy porn magazines. she’s a talented swordswoman but is head over heels for every pretty woman she meets, to her own detriment at times.

every character is like this! they feel so real and complex because they have contradictions and weaknesses and opinions and incorrect beliefs and correct ones that are hard to tell the difference between.

Elfie's Locked Tomb Review

Preamble

I don't really know what I'm doing here formatting wise. So bear with me. My plan is to review each chapter as I read them, and then sort of compile a larger conclusion as we go.

This is going to be loaded up to the fucking gills with spoilers, so if you haven't finished the series please do so first. I'm going to be spoiling everything pretty much from the word go .

I've never done anything like this before, but I hope that I can improve my writing by doing this and I hope that you all get some entertainment out of witnessing the madness of my brain.

Okay, time to get reading. Gideon the Ninth. Chapter 1. Let's do it.

It wasn't the first night that Gideon had found sleep an elusive creature; just one of many since that first night he'd coaxed his best friend's darling little daughter into letting him cum in her pretty little cunt. A part of him had known what the outcome would be; all good things inevitably became an addiction to him. Still, he'd at least played at being a decent fellow since then. He hadn't called her phone; he hadn't tracked her down or used his sweet words to cajole her into his lap again. Perhaps it would have been better for them both if he had — because ruminating had only made the hunger worse.

When fucking his newest wife, Dove was all he could think of. Her pretty blonde hair, those wide doe eyes. The memory of her generous tits and the feel of her wrapped around his cock like a vice made a mockery of the woman he'd married, a cold and pencil-thin shrew. Truth be told, the thrill of the conquest of having Christine had faded even before he'd fucked the younger girl, now there was nothing left of the marriage bed but cinders and ash. Divorce number four was already in the works and his dear friend was stupid enough to think that Gideon was grieving over it while he stayed in their home.

"Dovey —" His voice, though pleasant, was thick with hunger and the burn of liquor once the object of his many fantasies waltzed into the dimly lit kitchen. Her father had already called it a night hours ago, leaving the man with a fine bottle of scotch and his many sordid thoughts. "Can't sleep, darling?" Gideon was already pouring himself another glass. "You know, I didn't get the opportunity to say how glad I am that your father convinced you to stay."

gideon couldn't believe he'd let this stranger talk him into getting in the car with him. not that he figured he had much of a choice. doctor pederson didn't seem to take no for an answer and as SHAKEN as gideon was all by of this. deep down, he couldn't help but be a little impressed. not that he was trying to show it. "i think you could fit my old house in the space you have just to park your cars." this place was insane and he couldn't believe that the other was going to let him stay here. there was going to be a catch. right? like he was going to have to sleep outside in the shed or -- or something because this was far to good to be true. perhaps there had been a STRUGGLE to get him in the car and the entire car trip had been made in complete silence. honestly, he'd been too scared to make a single sound after how difficult he'd made this be. gideon finally braved a glance up at the man upon getting himself out of the car. "... what happens now?" @lcvenderhcze

Thinking about the locked tomb and how there is a story underneath the story. About how john and the lyctors technically fill the role of villain and supporting characters—at most, considering half of them are dead the whole time—and yet somehow when I’m learning about them it never feels like backstory but rather just another story, another part of this story. There’s a story underneath the story, and to we have to unearth it in order to come to any sort of conclusion for either. This story is ten thousand-odd years long.

Every day I think about the one guy who posted to r/fantasy saying they didn't want to continue the locked tomb series because they thought gideon dying at the end was a 'waste of potential' and didn't see a reason to continue without her in it.

As X had expected, the day of his father's funeral was an endurance test in the uncomfortable and whether or not he could handle existing within it. It's less a choice than a last obligation he had to the now deceased man, to get through and to get through it as best as he could. With the church and the cemetery in the rearview, he only had to face the reception of family and friends at his father's before he could lay the day to rest with him.

He's lost count of how many hands he's shook while they offered condolences or how many cheek kisses he's received while hearing the same and he's not sure he can manage another until he sees a familiar face among all the Texans, the sight of him making him feel a rise of emotions once again that he swallowed down.

There was no other way to greet Gideon than with an embrace, despite the fact they traditionally had never been the hugging sort.

"I told you y'didn't have to come," He says, unable to say as easily how grateful that he was that he had.
