#even odds the Eighth died fighting Ianthe again or Silas got to promise Colum no more siphoning ever

What you think would have happened at the end if Cytherea hadn't showed up to kill everyone and the house heirs had worked out the formula, and noticed the same thing Palamedes noticed in canon, that it's not finished? What happens when they phone up the Emperor and he realises that left unsupervised they collectively pulled an Anastasia? Now he's got to find some way to spin one new Lyctor Classique (Ianthe), a small handful of Perfect Lyctor sets, and one pair of sulking human teens because "Abigail and Magnus say we have to wait until we're finished growing >:("

#gideon the ninth #harrow the ninth #the locked tomb #gtn #htn #tlt #gtn spoilers #htn spoilers #imagine gideon and harrow having the conversation about perfect lyctorhood in a Canaan House setting #it would be the siphoning scene times a million #harrow asking gideon for her permission to bind their immortal souls together lmao #her brain would melt out her ears #gideon.exe not responding #she'd probably try to define it as Harrow hooking herself up to an infinite generator anyway #but it would be harder to do that with the Fifth treating it like a vow renewal and the Sixth being perfect morons over eachother #even odds the Eighth died fighting Ianthe again or Silas got to promise Colum no more siphoning ever #who knows about Judith and Marta they might not even go through with it they had no interest in being lyctors #I think if Dulcie survived until they figured it out she and Pro would do it #unless she was so sick it was Too Late but I much prefer the scenario where she lives #shout out to Pal he helped figure out how to save his lady love
