Fic: Haunted
Title: Haunted
Fandom: The Magnus Archives
Characters/pairings: Melanie
Wordcount: 100 words
Rating: Teen
POV: Third person
Summary: What happened to the old you when you became the new you?
Notes: Originally written as a giftfic for borderparasol on AO3.
Melanie wonders if there’s a ghost out there with her face.
She looks like a ghost, a little, with that smear of blood beneath one eye. She’s gaunter than she was, and it feels, when she makes herself think about it, like the woman that came back from the trainyard is almost her, but never quite.
Just as well, with monsters everywhere. She walked home slow tonight through darkened streets – not hunting, never that – and a crawling fungal figure with almost-human eyes tried to jump her on the way.
She wonders if there’s a ghost out there with its face.
