    Summary

    How good is it, this lie? For he is no spirit of the forest. He is no soldier, wounded and lifted high by noble deeds and bravery in battle. His hands are a soldier’s hands–his feet, those that carried braver men to their deaths. But he is no soldier.

    (In which the Creature makes it back to the cabin before the wolves attack, saves his blind companion, and tentatively steps into a family.)

    Summary

    Light, slicing through the gap in his heavy curtains to shine down on the creature at the end of Victor's bed, new on his coltish legs. Herr Harlander is gone, and the creature is awake, but they won't be alone for long; carriage wheels crunch on the pebbled forecourt and Victor can hear Elizabeth's melodic voice tracing up the stairs from the atrium.

    A different take, in which William and Elizabeth come for Victor before he has a chance to lock up the creature. And Harlander has no syphilis, because I said so. Not canon compliant - too many people get to be happy.

    Summary

    Elizabeth convinces William that the imprisonment of the Creature is inhumane, and that they must take him and leave at once. William is not altogether sold on the idea of having a seven-foot-tall living corpse on his grounds, but has always found Elizabeth difficult to refuse. A brief examination over the first six months of the Creature's life as William's nephew: his first days, the discovery of his name, and Victor's sudden arrival to reclaim his creation.

    Summary

    Going broke was never something Hob Gadling had intended to do. In fact, with barely enough money in his account to pay for a hotel and a storage unit, he goes to have a pint with Johanna Constantine, who offers to put him up in the remote and mysterious Dream House, with a long and bloody history. And has been in the Constantine family for centuries, meaning that Johanna has the keys. Hob does not take much convincing. What could go wrong, really?

    ~

    What started out as a Haunting of Hill House AU has now spiraled into so much more, as Hob navigates love, loneliness and his own psyche as he realizes he might not be able to trust his reality.
