Fic: Welcome Home
Title: Welcome Home
Fandom: The Haunting of Hill House (novel)
Major Characters/Pairings: Theo/Nell
Wordcount: 100 words
Rating: Teen
POV: Third person
Summary: Theo returns in daylight.
Hill House weighs down the world, but it is only a house, Theodora thinks, returning; poor Nell’s blue room is only a room, and holds no mysteries, only dust.
A room in moonlight is not the same as that room by day.
Theodora wakes to dark and silver, cold hands and kisses soft against her throat – to Nell, who belongs to this place now. A chill settles on her. Laughter cracks in the air like ice.
She’ll be Poor Theo, perhaps, come morning, and belong to the house and the hills, and to Nell, dear Nell, who only wanted sweetness.
