Hey TLT Community, I apologize for any weird posts. I signal-boosted a similar event happening this year, and since then everything I attempted to reblog to my personal account was accidentally reblogged to this one. The posts from the past few days do not reflect the collective opinion of the TLTBB mod group, just me. Sorry about that! Mod Hazel

#whoopsie daisy guys ive been reblogging to this one by accident for days #it got stuck like that on my laptop... T-T

TLT Big Resurrection Event - Rules & Timeline

What is The Locked Tomb Big Resurrection Event?

TLT BRE is an event where authors, artists, and cosplayers come together to create wonderful creations. It starts with authors coming up with the synopses of the fics they will be writing. Cosplayers and Artists will be able to claim a fic they’d like to make art for. Each pair will work together and be able to hype each other up. At the end, they’ll be assigned a posting date where their fic and art will go live. Sign ups will be done via Google Forms and communication after that will take place in the official Discord server (an invite link will be sent after you sign up)

Authors:

Fics are to be a minimum of 10,000 words.

All ratings and topics are allowed, but we request that they be properly tagged in both the synopsis you submit and later on Ao3 when they are posted.

Works must be a part of The Locked Tomb fandom. Settings from other media are allowed, but characters are not.

Fics are to be posted in their completion. Multiple chapters are fine, but they need to be posted at the same time on the date assigned.

Artists: 

The minimum is at least one piece of art made to go along with the fic you claimed.

While color is not necessary, we do require that the art be finished and clean.

Art can be digital, hand-drawn, or hand-painted. Whichever materials you use (when choosing for traditional rather than digital) is completely up to you.

AI art is absolutely prohibited!

Cosplayers:

Cosplays of all levels are welcome, as long as they’re recognizable as the characters.

There should be at least one photo or video.

While cosplayers can claim an E-rated fic, they cannot cosplay anything explicit. This means: No nudity or sexual acts.

Additional rules:

While there is no age limit for participating, anyone under 18 may not write an E-rated work or create art for an E-rated work

Public progress updates or shout outs to your partner are totally allowed! It doesn’t need to be a secret that you’re participating in the TLT BRE, but finished text and art should be saved until your posting date.

We aren’t going to have sign ups for beta readers. If you need a beta reader, the mods may be able to point you in a good direction, but they will not be assigned.

Any harassment or bullying will result in being banned from TLT BRE; they will be removed from the server and their work will not be included in the Ao3 collection or listed on any of our social media accounts.

Gideon stands in the center. She has brown skin, short cropped red hair, and golden eyes. She wears a black cloak, robes, and bone jewelry. A gold halo glows behind her head. She holds the hands of a pilgrim, who bows their head in deference. Harrow stands looking at her feet to the far right. A tear slips down her cheek. She has shaven black hair, brown skin, and black eyes. She wears a sleeveless turtleneck, black cloak, bone rosary, and belt. She holds a chain in one hand. A rapier is belted at her hip. Crux walks on in front of her. He wears armor and a black cloak. He is hunched over and uses a walking stick. A crowd of penitents wearing black robes, hoods, veils, and bone jewelry pass by.

There is an arm that isn’t supposed to be attached. There is a soul that is supposed to be attached but isn’t. The House appears to be in its usual degree of decay. Ianthe looks over at the other bed, and there she is: Corona, sleeping soundly. If Ianthe focuses really hard, she can hear Babs’ snoring in the room over too. An arm that shouldn’t be there. A soul that should. A house not demolished. A twin safe and sound. For lack of being able to think anything else, Ianthe whispers aloud, “What the fuck is going on?” (Or, alternatively: Ianthe figures out the true secrets of Lyctorhood while stuck in a time loop at Canaan House.)

Chapters: 1/7 Fandom: The Locked Tomb Trilogy | Gideon the Ninth Series - Tamsyn Muir Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Gideon Nav/Harrowhark Nonagesimus Characters: Gideon Nav, Harrowhark Nonagesimus, Camilla Hect, Palamedes Sextus Additional Tags: TLT Big Bang 2021, Tattoo AU, Content Warning: Ianthe Tridentarius, Enemies to Lovers, Canon-Typical Meme Reference, Autistic!Harrow, ADHD!Gideon Summary:

Gideon is getting her first tattoo from the world-renowned shop her buddies Cam and Pal work at. But the artist is none too friendly. Harrow’s newest client is an overgrown, red-haired puppy whose exuberance overstimulates her too easily. So they hate each other, obviously, but the rules of tattoo etiquette say that another artist won’t finish what Harrow has started. So they’re stuck together until the ink is dry. Sure would be annoying if they were to fall in love along the way…

I have always wanted to write an epic poem. The Locked Tomb Big Bang of 2021 seemed as good an opportunity as any to try my hand at that. So here it is. The first chapter of The Noviad, a Harrow Nova AU fic told in poem form. It’ll be 24 chapters altogether and it updates every week from now until it is finished. Thank you hayan and hornedthornz for your art on this project. This is the first time I’ve seen my writing put into art, and it’s been an experience. Thank you as well for the comments you’ve had on the fic. They’ve been helpful in writing! I wish to thank the mods as well for running the event. This is the first Big Bang I’ve ever participated in and you helped make that an understandable and fun time. Now for the technical stuff… Rating: T Archive Warning: Major Character Death Category: F/F Relationships: Harrow Nova/necro!Gideon Nav Additional Tags: Poetry Collections: The Locked Tomb Big Bang 2021 Summary: The Reverend Father and Mother needed a necromantic heir. They gave up the lives of two hundred children to gain that heir. What they received, instead, was a child who couldn’t raise a single bone. This child they took the name and title from, giving them to an undying child who could work thanergy. This child refused to stay complacent and dishonored. It’s been years since she was shamed by Gideohark Navinus, and Harrow Nova insists that she can still win back her pride. But to win that pride back she’ll have to learn to fight for the woman that stole it from her in the first place.

marvelous and dangerous: a locked tomb fic

as written for @tltbb

thank you to @margaret-rhee for her excellent beta-ing and to @melli4uhbees and @cornedbeefyness for their amazing art!

rating: teen

relationship: gideon nav/harrowhark nonagesimus

word count: ~31,000

summary:

Fifteen years after the death of John Gaius, the Blood of Eden controls his former empire, Commander Wake at its head. The Houses survived Domincus’ implosion, with one exception: the Ninth, which refused all evacuation efforts and died with its planet. But Gideon Una, Wake’s daughter and heir to Eden’s throne, thinks her childhood best friend Harrowhark Nonagesimus may still live, and she wants her back.

And she’s not above dressing a random chick in bone jewelry if she has to.

@melli4uhbees was another artist for this fic so go check them out!

Follow my twitter for more tlt art

[ID: A comic of Harrow and Gideon from The Locked Tomb trilogy. Gideon has brown skin, short red hair, and golden eyes. She wears a white button up shirt. She wipes blood from Harrow’s cheek with a cloth. Harrow has light brown skin, chin length black hair, and black eyes. She says, “Who wipes blood off of your face?” Gideon pauses before saying, “What?” Harrow says, “Gideon, who wipes blood off of your face?” Gideon looks confused and says, “There isn’t any blood on my face…”

Harrow says, “But if there was. Who would wipe it off?” Exclamation points appear next to Gideon’s face as she realizes. She laughs and says, “I’ll tell you what, if I ever get blood on my face, you can be the one to wipe it off. Okay?”

Harrow looks at her intensely and says, “Not just blood… Anything.” Gideon’s eyes go wide. Harrow continues, “Anything gets on your face, I get to wipe it off.” End ID]

"How do you become someone you've forgotten you ever were?"

Drawn for "marvelous and dangerous" by @eviefrie for TLT Big Bang 2021

[Animated Gif ID: The first image is of Harrowhark Nonagesimus. She stands beside a large window on a spaceship, the edge of a red planet is visible in the bottom of the window. Harrowhark is a nervous looking young woman, wearing an oversized tan colored coat, and is fidgeting with her hands. The text above her says “How do you become someone…” The screen glitches in multi-colors and black and white bars to reveal Harrowhark now in full black and white skull face paint, wearing a high necked black dress top with bone accents and sheer flowing sleeves. She has the same nervous expression. The background is of a golden ballroom partially obscured by red curtains. The text now says “you’ve forgotten you ever were?” Her eyes flick to the viewer before the screen glitches back to the original image.]

[image ID: Ianthe, a pale-skinned young woman with dirty blonde hair in a haphazardly tied ponytail is reading a piece of paper in her left hand. She is shown from a low angle so that the bland and bare ceiling and lamp of the 4th House’s room can be seen. Her eyes are slightly red from her recent episode and there are faint dried tear tracks across her cheeks. The contents of the paper in her hand are obscured but through her terminally bored expression a glimmer of concern is visible. end ID]

She wears a tunic, pants, belts, and a sword scabbard on her back. Three large skeleton monsters with one horn on each of their heads surround her. Gideon frowns.

This is my #zygomatic piece for The Locked Tomb Big Bang for the fic Throw Yourself into the Unknown with Pace and a Fury Defiant by @authortrash (advanced_fanatic on ao3). Our other artist was @totsacat.

[begin ID: a digital, coloured drawing with a slight fish-eye lens effect, featuring from left to right; Harrow, Gideon, Palamedes, and Camilla as they walk triumphantly through a large, marble archway. Harrow, who is Maori, with golden eyes, is wearing a nun outfit with a transparent black veil over her skeletally painted face. The corset of her nun outfit has a ribcage made of bone encasing it. She has a grim but determined expression, her forward hand in a fist. Gideon, who is also Maori, has red hair, black eyes, and more crudely painted skull paint. She's wearing a dark green shirt, black pants and cloak, with black shoes. She has a confident grin on her face and is gesturing to someone off-screen.

Palamedes, who is mixed middle-eastern, has short, light brown hair, a five o'clock shadow, brown eyes, and is wearing a white, long-sleeved shirt with frills on the cuffs, grey pants, grey-and-white shoes, and a grey patterned cloak with high, fitted, button-down collar. He has turned his head toward the person Gideon is greeting. Finally Camilla, who is also mixed middle-eastern, has chin-length, light-brown hair and light grey eyes. She's wearing a long, dark grey double-breasted cloak with open sleeves, grey leggings, and grey boots. She has her hands folded in front of her with a serene expression. end ID]
