Summary
They used to tell each other everything: from what they had for dinner (in the rare cases they dined apart) to their most private thoughts. But Camilla hid many things from the Warden these days, like the way her heart ached with every reminder of him.
A vignette exploring how Camilla and Palamedes deal with their new reality in Nona the Ninth.

New Tamsyn Muir Short Story Coming October 6, 2026!!!
A brand new Tamsyn Muir original short story "The Well of the Martian Queens" will be featured in the upcoming anthology The Book of the Dead, edited by Jonathan Strahan. It will be out on October 6th. It's about a tomb (ha!) on Mars. It's unrelated to The Locked Tomb, but new content nonetheless!
thinking about how harrow called gideon “the greatest cavalier the ninth has ever produced” and like…. that just sounds like a topic of debate for harrow and ortus to bicker over. like i can just imagine harrow writing a 200 page overly personal counterargument to the noniad. gideon vs nonius is their messi vs ronaldo

harrow the ninth Book Of All Time actually. gaslights the audience immediately. doesn’t answer any of the questions from the last book until like 300 pages in. complete perspective shift. complete tonal shift. god is making poe references and meme references in the same breath. blink and you’ll miss it lore drops that are actually critical to understanding what’s going on. so so much grief. Book Of All Time.
the idea gets kicked around a lot in the locked tomb of a “perfect” or “ideal” cavalier, and i think you could make an argument that each cavalier primary we meet in gideon the ninth IS the ideal cavalier for their respective houses - including magnus, who is not an incredible swordsman but who knows how to run point socially so his wife can do her research, very much the priority of the fifth. however i do also think that there is one Perfect Cavalier and it is marta dyas
efficient. professional. precise and practiced swordswoman. keeps her opinions to herself. not related to or in love with her necromancer. knows how to set and keep boundaries when her necromancer falls in love with her. dies for her cause. deeply funny. would that we could all be marta dyas
folks i have something to confess to all of you. i have shipped gideon and naberius ever since i read the first book. it's just the perfect setup for an enemies to lovers arc and that swordfight was crackling with sexual tensi'm sorry i can't type that april fools.
One could write a very funny (and potentially heartbreaking) fic in which due to a series of misunderstandings Naberius reads the room atrociously and he becomes convinced he's living a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers, while Gideon thinks they've ended up getting into an oddly intense nemesis vibe (which is entertaining enough for her), which only makes Naberius sure they're going to hatefuck eventually, and Gideon is completely oblivious because why would she ever even think about that?
It all collapses catastrophically when Naberius realizes she's not itching to beat his ass out of sublimated sexual desire but just because she finds him irritating and wants to beat him up period. Bonus points if Naberius has never been into a woman before but somehow the butchness and rough swordfighting might have awoken something for him and he's now questioning his whole sense of self. Just two people who don't get each other at all, growing even further apart because one's deluded and the other barely thinks about him.
(Ianthe sees what's happening immediately and is too entertained to stop it. She in fact intentionally creates half the misunderstandings, like a trickster god.)
Do y'all see my vision.
… I should go to sleep.
i feel like if you stabbed an angel the blood trail would look like this
THIS IS SO FUN.
Bunch of tlt charms…real and going to be produced this time I PROMISE
Ok I read all the books and this is my contribution to the fandom. I’m sorry.
remembered this gem just now
Harrow the Ninth is in second person because it's a eulogy. Hear me out.
In the tangihanga, speech is addressed to the tūpāpaku (the body of the deceased). Songs, rituals, speeches, they're all addressed in second person, to the dead. The narration in Harrow the Ninth—the sharp, funny, angry, second-person narration studded with moments of aching tenderness—that's Gideon. Gideon addressing Harrow from the last moments of the book, when she's afraid that Harrow is dead and she has been left behind with her body.
it is my personal opinion that you simply don't survive reading the locked tomb books unless you are relatively media literate and also somewhat crazy insane. this is why discourse in this fandom has fuckall to do with ship wars or who deserves redemption or not and instead can be mostly boiled down to "does the chussy have teeth"
@nonasbirthday you don't just get to make me speedrun these war flashbacks cherished memories and keep it in the tags !
It's great how every character in the locked tomb is, from their pov, in a different genre of story.
Like Gideon is in a dark YA lesbian romance / horror story and Harrow is in The Count of Monte Cristo and Ianthe is in The Count of Monte Cristo and Pal is in The Count of Monte Cristo and Mercymorn is in The Count of Monte Cristo and Augustine is in The Count of Monte Cristo and John is in Homestuck and Nona is in The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
