GriddleHark | Gideon the Ninth (The Locked Tomb Series| “One Flesh, One End, bitch”

Bone magic, swords in space and a ship that reaches beyond death. Join us today for a dive into Tamsyn Muir’s unfinished Locked Tomb series (Gideon the Ninth and sequels), a sci-fi/fantasy horror murder-mystery with meme-heavy humor and a final book still unreleased. We explore the relationship betwwen Gideon Nav and Harrowhark ("GriddleHark"), lifelong enemies from the dying, cultish Ninth House who become necromancer and cavalier in Canaan House’s lethal “escape room” trials to become Lyctors. They build trust, share trauma, and ultimately Gideon sacrifices herself so Harrow can survive, triggering later soul/memory twists across books two and three. They cite key quotes, discuss fandom art/fic, introduce a new segment with a song that describes the couple, and give our OTP scores.Follow along and complete your own OTP score!This week's art is by Lyric and Faun.
