The Locked Tomb series (Gideon the Ninth, Harrow the Ninth, Nona the Ninth, and others) by Tamsyn Muir

The Emperor needs necromancers.

The Ninth Necromancer needs a swordswoman.

Gideon has a sword, some dirty magazines, and no more time for undead bullshit.

Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse. She packs up her sword, her shoes, and her dirty magazines, and prepares to launch her daring escape. But her childhood nemesis won't set her free without a service.

Harrowhark Nonagesimus, Reverend Daughter of the Ninth House and bone witch extraordinaire, has been summoned into action. The Emperor has invited the heirs to each of his loyal Houses to a deadly trial of wits and skill. If Harrowhark succeeds she will become an immortal, all-powerful servant of the Resurrection, but no necromancer can ascend without their cavalier.

Without Gideon's sword, Harrow will fail, and the Ninth House will die. Of course, some things are better left dead.

The Rain Wild Chronicles (Dragon Keeper, Dragon Haven, City of Dragons, Blood of Dragons, and other stories) by Robin Hobb

Too much time has passed since the powerful dragon Tintaglia helped the people of the Trader cities stave off an invasion of their enemies. The Traders have forgotten their promises, weary of the labor and expense of tending earthbound dragons who were hatched weak and deformed by a river turned toxic. If neglected, the creatures will rampage—or die—so it is decreed that they must move farther upriver toward Kelsingra, the mythical homeland whose location is locked deep within the dragons' uncertain ancestral memories.

Thymara, an unschooled forest girl, and Alise, wife of an unloving and wealthy Trader, are among the disparate group entrusted with escorting the dragons to their new home. And on an extraordinary odyssey with no promise of return, many lessons will be learned—as dragons and tenders alike experience hardships, betrayals . . . and joys beyond their wildest imaginings.

"You see that Skelly? The deckhand with the long black braid down her back? Well, she may look like a girl but she's not. She's my deckhand and my niece. And that means that, to you, she's not a girl."

Davvie looked properly daunted, but Carson just shook his head, a smile twitching the corner of his mouth. "I guarantee you, Leftrin, there will be no problems with Davvie in that department," he said as the lad ducked his head and blushed.

i think carson is a love interest for sedric but is he implying that davvie is also a homosexual?

"And aren't you going to introduce me and explain what a fresh flower like this is doing on your stinking old barge?"

It seemed impossible but he had briefly forgotten that Alise was standing there behind him. He glanced at her, then grinned as he confronted Carson. "Stinking barge? Not until you came on board, Carson. Alise Finbok, I'm afraid I have to introduce you to an old friend of mine. Carson Lupskip. Hunter, braggart, and drunk, not necessarily in that order. Carson, this is Alise. She's aboard as our expert on dragons and Elderlings…”

he has so much confidence in her abilities and he’s very proud to show her off. lover boy leftrin you will always be famous. to me.

The hunter stopped speaking abruptly, staring past Leftrin. The captain turned to find Sedric awkwardly climbing over the rail of the barge. He gripped his supply case to his chest with one arm while he struggled. "What do we have here?" Carson asked quietly. A slow smile spread across his face.

"Oh, him." Leftrin fought for neutrality in his voice. He spoke to Carson alone, saying, "He goes where Alise does. Supposed to look after her."

"That must be inconvenient," Carson muttered quietly.

"Just shut up," Leftrin replied with feeling.

straight out of a rom-com! god i hope carson is nice and normal. please please please can he get a decent love interest

He took a deep breath, and she was suddenly aware of how close she was standing to him. It was almost an embrace. She could smell him, the spicy scent he wore, the soap he used. She was surprised that she recognized those scents. They brought Hest sharply to mind, and she stepped back. She suddenly wondered if the two men used the same perfumed oils. She frowned, thinking about that.

hest wasn’t lying when he said he bought that stuff for sedric lollll

[aytmadashis]

carson's so funny getting mad at davvie for sneaking away with lector because "he should've tended to his responsibilities first". brother just a few days ago i seem to recall you fucking your own boyfriend in a row boat when you were supposed to be on the hunt for a fugitive
