Locked Tomb Fanfiction
Tamsyn Muir's lesbian-necromancers-in-space series, beginning with Gideon the Ninth, where memes, swordplay and soul-consumption coexist in a haunted empire. The fandom writes Gideon and Harrow's bone-deep codependency through every lens canon provides — death, lyctorhood, body-sharing, resurrection — plus John Gaius discourse, Sixth House academia comedy, and Camilla/Palamedes devotion that survives literal fusion. Tonally it is unique on AO3: shitpost humor and apocalyptic grief in the same fic, exactly like the source.
