Title: Scorpio
Fandom: Original fic
'Verse/Series: Kat (High Queen)
Type: Graphic and explanatory text
Prompt: For the [community profile] origfic_bingo prompt "honor"
Summary/notes: Honor is a Scorpio
Index Page for this series: DW/ LJ

A while ago I was pondering personality types for the major characters, identifying their Myers-Briggs types, Tarot Card correspondences, and astrological signs. I was on the fence about Honor (ISTJ but either Libra or Scorpio), but I've come to the conclusion he's a Scorpio. This graphics highlights some of the correspondences and traits, both positive and negative, associated with Scorpio, and which I feel strongly match Honor's personality.




Scorpians are the most intense, profound, powerful characters in the zodiac. Even when they appear self-controlled and calm there is a seething intensity of emotional energy under the placid exterior…In their everyday behavior they give the appearance of being withdrawn from the center of activity, yet those who know them will recognize the watchfulness that is part of their character. source

That site does mention that "Scorpians are passionate lovers, the most sensually energetic of all the signs" which implies sexual prowess but doesn't necessarily match with Honor's distate for shallow relationships. However it also says that "For them union with the beloved is a sacrament" and this is perfect; for Honor, sex is sacred, not to be taken lightly.

I'm going to finish this despite the lack of interest. Aura too when I get around it. I actually found it quite helpful when I did it for the novella, so there's that.

Introduction

These three fics follow on from each other, though they are also meant to stand alone. The second of the three, Elyse, is for the dark bingo mini challenge, hence the splitting up of the narrative, and the moment of recap at the start and very dark last line which I might have dialled back on if it were not for that challenge.
Please be aware that the prompt for that challenge is 'suicide' and while there's on 'on-screen' suicide or major character death, there is past minor character death and discussion of suicide throughout.
If you have issues with Kat's decisions in the first part, I'd urge you to at least read the third part, Choices, which gives some background to her personal circumstances and gives another point of view to contrast with Tark, Honor, and Cal. Additionally, there's a fourth part to come in which Zayn gives his backstory, which may help illuminate things further. (And, obviously, there will be a piece before this where Kat arrives in Vellesca)
Additionally, there are further author notes at the end of the fic, including examples that might make you rethink your opinions on how our supposedly enlightened society differs – or not- from those depicted within this series.
Special thanks to my beta reader, [livejournal.com profile] dorothydeath for working through this contentious issue with me, and for all her thoughts and nitpicking.
