#nova au

[lastflowerofyourhouse]

i love the mental image of the nova au btw. necromancer gideon getting into an argument with you and doing her boisterous annoying shit talking about how she could explode your spine out of your back with a snap of her fingers (doubtful), and you're just about to call her bluff when you notice that her little yappy dog of a cavalier is standing just behind her giving you the most intimidating look you have ever seen in your life. this five-foot-nothing coil of lean muscle with a sword is looking at you like she's trained her entire life to kill you specifically. she is looking at you like she's wondering what your jugular tastes like. she is looking at you like she's already bested the devil in single combat so just imagine how completely unconcerned she is about her ability to put so many new holes in you your soul is going to sink to the bottom of the river in minutes. her necromancer appears completely unaware that she's even in the room.

you politely end the conversation.

more reckless wizard Reverend Daughter Gideon thoughts are Gideon “a skull puking another, smaller skull, and other skulls flying all around but tasteful” Nav would be an absolute menace if she was a necromancer and like had the material and abilities to sculpt whatever she wanted whenever she wanted. her drip would be insane. she would have massive fuckoff earings of skulls puking other skulls, she would give herself huge and anatomically insensible shoulder spikes soley bc she thinks they make her look like a comic book hero. she would have teeth necklaces and bracelets that she necromance'd into being made of giant monster fangs. Nova would hate all of this very deeply and RD!Gideon would NOT listen to her. she makes Nova wear some sort of matching and equally ostentatious bone acutremont and then rocks up to canaan house being like "I'm so cool. Wow I'm sooooooo cool. The other Houses will be shaking in their boots. Might as well give me the Lyctor title right now."

and then she gets there and like. Abigail Pent takes one look at her, says OH! A Teenager!! and immediately proceeds to subject her & Nova to Fifth House Hedgemonic Pains

I found a way to split the difference between "Gideon sacrifices herself for Harrow in every universe" and "perspective switch in the second book because previous MC died" in the Harrow Nova AU.

At the end of the first book, Harrow would force Gideon's hand to absorb her soul, but it would be less about self-sacrifice than "this is the only way I'll ever reclaim my birthright as a necromancer." Same outcome, different motive.

However, in the second book, she wouldn't be dead. Only mostly dead. Her soul isn't in her body, but her body is still functioning fine. Better than fine, even. Her death-wounds healed themselves, and, despite being in a vegetative state, her muscles haven't atrophied one bit.

This is because Gideon is hemorrhaging thalergy, just like Anastasia was before they euthanized Samael. Gideon has made Jod promise not to do that and to explore other options, but in the meantime, she's slowly dying just to keep Harrow's corpse breathing. Gideon is still sacrificing herself, but by inches.

About Nova AU, what are you planning?

I know I want Shadow to almost die from overexerting his power and causing a supernova lmao, but Sonic saves him :3 bro it pisses Shadow off that Sonic saved him. It pisses him off so badly fr. Guy who lowk wouldn't mind dying and lives sheerly out of spite being saved by the person he hates outta envy. That is a recipe for ANGER. He got hurt because of his own flaws and the guy who he believes is the perfect version of him saved his life. He's so mad and humiliated.

Uhhh idk what's going on with most characters LOL. I might make Knuckles a moon type character. I've thought about making Amy similar to knuckles but idk how that'd work. Idk what to do with Tails LOL. I feel like there's a lot to play with so any thoughts are welcome :3

harrow nova would 1000% install herself at the foot of that bed. we’re all in agreement right

Nova is going to get a good grade in manipulation, something that is normal to want and possible to achieve @proudfreakmetarusonikku

I feel really strong need to write the nova au right now. Gideon only poses as quite perfect reverend daughter but she still loves her porn magazines and jock jokes. She still definitely hates face paint. The baby genocide didn’t happen bc they still have pilgrims. Harrow still hates her self but not bc of being walking grave but bc she isn’t necromancer, she isn’t what she was supposed to be. She feels useless. Her parents hate her and barely acknowledge her existence. That’s why she wants to be cavalier primary. She wants to have at least a look at what was supposed to be hers. She’s still insane. She sees body who looks weirdly at reverend daughter she has never seen up close….

Or maybe I’m just procrastinating and not writing my own stuff
