In County Meath, Ireland there is a tomb like no other. Older than Stonehenge and larger than a football field, it has taught us how the ancients not just buried but also communicated with the dead.

People have been making pilgrimages in person (and, since 2020, online) to witness this on the Winter solstice for many thousands of years, so you will become part of a long chain of human wonder reaching back into the past.

Tomb Crawlers - wip introduction

Hey everyone! Today's post is going to be a basic introduction to my most recent wip, Tomb Crawlers. I'm hoping to pack some history into this wip as the passage tomb it takes place in is genuinely super cool and I was lucky enough to get to visit it myself! (This wip is based around the passage tombs created by neolithic people and takes place inside/around the newgrange tomb in Ireland.)

Tomb Crawlers - Synopsis

Being banished to the Irish countryside with their estranged aunt Belinda was bad enough for cousins Issac, Kelly, and Wright. Being dragged around to look at old piles of dirt is worse. The trio are convinced that spending an entire day learning during what is supposed to be their summer break can be nothing shy of completely uneventful - until they fall into one of the tombs themselves and learn that its ancient inhabitants aren't so dead after all.

Characters

Issac D'arcy ✧ he/they ✧ 14 ↬ Doesn't care for the approval of his family and would much rather spend time with his friends. They got sent away because their parents thought they needed to interact with new people.

Kelly Hempton ✧ she/her ✧ 15 ↬ A determined rule-follower & a very pragmatic person that most people find annoying. She got sent away because her parents thought she needed to take a break.

Wright D'arcy ✧ he/him ✧ 17 ↬ Is fiercely loyal to his family & friends but tries to hide it. He wants to protect those around him as best he can. He got sent away because his parents believed his boyfriend was a bad influence.

The story

The main plot is, of course, the three cousins running from a bunch of undead and weirdly violent neolithic people, but it's also about reconnecting with your family. As it usually goes, the characters become closer/friends through their shared traumatic experiences. In this case, running away from their attackers brings the three closer together and reveals how much they care about one another.

Genres/themes

Thriller, fantasy, family, friendships

That's all for now! This story is super new and therefore still being developed, but since I've been focusing on it bc of how new it is I thought I'd introduce it anyways.

“You saw your probable future clearly. You had not until that point understood the danger.

If Ianthe Tridentarius knelt beside you then, no matter with what sugary contempt or filigreed Third condescension, you would press your diminished bloody terror into her; you would creep naked into her lap, shamelessly, and weep. You would crawl like a worm to whatever clinging scrap of solace she would give you. All your slithering, degraded desperation for condolence you would give to your sister Lyctor with a brazen thirst that you would never come back from. She would be your end, as surely as the hammer to the oxygen-sealant machine of your childhood. You would have reached for her with the mindless desire of an infectious disease. You would have whored yourself to her as necrosis to a wound.”

i realized something about this passage a while ago that i'm surprised i didn't realize earlier.

when i first read it thought it was out of place tbh. i found it oddly romantic and a weird time for harrow to fawning over gideon considering the circumstances (for reference this passage occurs when abigail and magnus are trying to convince her to go back to her body and live).

but i realized the romantic qualities of it are just a consequence of harrow's voice. it's just how she thinks and speaks. harrow is verbose in a way that definitely allows you read more into what she's saying especially when she doesn't intend it (specifically, i'm thinking about the "suckle at your boot-heel" scene with ianthe).

anyways, i then recalled the end of gideon the ninth and this scene finally made sense to me.

harrow isn't fawning over gideon. she's recalling the moment just before gideon dies.

gideon rolling up her sleeves. gideon dappled in the shadow of the bone shield harrow created. gideon breaking her promise to go back to the Ninth by killing herself and forcing harrow to become a lyctor.

#kinda embarrassed it took me so long to realize what that was about #it felt so out of place to me so i kept going back to it again and again because it felt like i was missing something and yeah #i absolutely was missing something #only decided to post about this because i've definitely seen other people read this passage similarly to how i did #though i don't think other people found it as out of place as i did #the locked tomb #harrowhark nonagesimus #gideon nav #harrow the ninth #gideon the ninth

#i was reading about this place will become your tomb and how they used a whale fall as the design for fall for me #and that instantly reminded me about from here to eternity #that book made me realize i want a natural burial #like just wrap me in a cloth and bury me in a hole in the ground and let nature consume me until there’s nothing left #and later that same day i rewatched episode 4 of midnight mass which has that amazing riley monologue about what happens after we die #AND THEN it got me thinking about this passage from his dark materials #that was probably the first time i came into contact with the idea of our atoms going back to the world when we die #little old 13 years old me read that and still thinks about it today #anyway #the whole idea of our bodies having a purpose in death #love that #sleep token has me constantly receiving psychic damage since i started listening to them about a month ago #sleep token #caitlin doughty #from here to eternity #midnight mass #his dark materials
