And you can sleep in a coffin, but the past ain't through with you Cause we are all a bunch of liars, tell me, baby, who do you wanna be?
So... about Kiriona and why she's Like That, and what's been happening these past six months.
She hasn't just been living her worst monkey's paw life as Ianthe's chew toy and bored prince, acting as emotional support for her new dad in his dismyriad crisis. Which would all be bad enough on its own. At least half that time she's also been actively deployed. Like, in the military, in a combat zone. Probably in a command position with very little experience and exactly zero training.
From the scattered mentions we've seen of Antioch, Kiriona was most likely deployed there to quell a rebellion. No doubt a terrible experience that would have expected her to do horrible things. Then these thingsโthe devilsโturned up.
Anyone who was infected by the devils, she had to dismember them and burn the corpses. Edenites, House, and civilians. That means regular old people who had nothing to do with the fighting, and people under her command. Either they became shambling zombies with mouths for eyes, or they were mercy-killed and burned before they could be taken.
How many people did she see die? How many people did she kill, and how many of them did she consider herself responsible for?
So if we're counting the reasons Gideon might seem a little off, we might want to take into account how she took a detour though a fucking zombie apocalypse while we weren't looking. Shit.
Ianthe and โKirionaโ were really trying to pretend they were over Harrow and not still totally whipped for herโฆpulling out dramatic villain monologuesโฆplaying games about ooh Iโm so evil look sheโs laying tied up at my feet Iโm so sadisticโฆ
The SECOND homegirl started violently hemorrhaging both her princes were on their knees by her side performing homebrew necromantic surgery and asking her to stay with them smhโฆbluff called! No-ass Nonagesimus has them in a CHOKEHOLD!
Do u ever think about how Gideon's last words were ,,, WEDDING VOWS. And then do u think about how they're the first thing Harrow says when she finally remembers in htn .... AND THEN do u think about how Gideon/Kiriona acknowledges the fact that yeah they were wedding vows in ntn ... BECAUSE I DO. I FUCKING DO.
Gideon the Ninth, chapter 37.
Harrow the Ninth, chapter 43.
Nona the Ninth, chapter 25.
Mmmm, some griddlehark for the soul.

Prince Kiriona Gaia the First, Her Divine Highness. Heir to the Emperor Divine, first of the Tower Princes.
And she's mega dead.
griddlehark band au anyone???
expectations: intimidating dark vestal who took a vow of silence
reality: himbo with a dirty mouth
I cannot conceive a universe without you in it
Not me getting emotional over people saying that Harrow doesn't care about Gideon, like. How do y'all even read books ๐ญ๐ญ
Anyway here's a completely factual list of things Harrow does throughout GtN and HtN (no Nona because she's barely in Nona) that show Harrow may be incredibly bad at expressing her emotions but she cares very deeply, indeed:
GtN:
- Harrow is the first to pay Gideon a compliment
- Harrow leaves bread for Gideon even though she herself is overwhelmed by food and doesn't eat breakfast
- Harrow thinks someone is dangerous and immediately decides to take them on herself instead of putting Gideon in danger (she thinks she is giving Gideon the safe/easy task)
- Harrow refuses lyctorhood when she finds out the price , even though it's all she's wanted and it's the only thing that will save her house (and she knows she NEEDS to save her house and continue Anastasia's line)
- Harrow begs Gideon not to die
- Harrow says she "cannot conceive a world without [Gideon]"
- Upon becoming a lyctor the first thing she does is beg the Emperor for Gideon's life
- And when he says no, sorry impossible, she says "how can you ask me to live with it?"
HtN:
- Upon becoming a lyctor, Harrow, genuius extraordinaire, decides that if she lobotomizes herself to forget Gideon and override her name, it MIGHT save her soul (she isn't even sure if it will work! It's the only thing she has to try) even though she knows this risks her own life (not to mention her brain, which is like the one thing she is incredibly proud of)
- She spends the next few weeks puking and being mad generally having a pretty bad time of lyctorhood
- she dies even Gideon's name on her lips even though! She doesn't even know! Who Gideon is!
- her mind reconstructs several AUs of her relationship with Gideon
- she repeats their wedding vows from GtN
- Upon remembering Gideon, she is extremely happy that her scheme worked
- She threatens to hurt anyone who says Gideon killed herself and insists Gideon was murdered
- Upon learning that Gideon's soul is in control of her body she decides to take a nap in the tomb/(pocket dimension?) Instead of reclaiming her body and destroying Gideon once and for all.
And this is just like. Completely factual information, i haven't included any of the meta or allusions or parallels to other relationships that are drown. This is just. A list.
