Comic of Gideon as the Reverend Daughter in the Harrow Nova AU. She sits at a desk in her study, speaking aloud as a construct approaches her from behind. Panel 1: "Can you believe this shit? 'No retainers, attendants, or domestics.'" Panel 2: "It's pretty clear that I can only be accompanied by a cav. Besides, it would probably be embarrassing if I brought you." Panel 3: Gideon looks behind her and smiles. "I don't mean to say that I'm not proud of you!" Panel 4: Gideon slumps in her desk chair. "I'm just getting too old to drag my mom everywhere with me, y'know?" Panel 5: Gideon closes her eyes and smiles sadly as the construct pats her on the head. Panel 6: Gideon lowers her gaze, lost in thought. The construct can be seen standing behind her in the reflection of the cracked mirror over the desk. "Yeah. You know. Even cuckoos have to leave the nest at some point."ALT

Nova AU: Reverend Daughter Gideon

[I had a thought that rather than doing canon Harrow’s style of corpse puppeting, RD Gideon would get really into programming her constructs with complex instructions (like getting the skellys to dab every time Nova says the word “die”). Her mother’s skeleton is her ongoing pet project and she teaches it to mimic affection.]
