Home Sweet Home

Summary:

Written for Three Sentence Ficathon 2025, for the prompt “Fallen London, any, noxious fumes”

There aren’t exactly fumes and they may not be quite technically noxious, but Bugsby’s Marshes don’t smell good by any stretch of the imagination… unless you’re some sort of mushroom-loving weirdo, of course.

Work Text:

The smell of mud and fungus and rotting plant life was overpowering - it clung to the air even inside the house and, if asked about it, Casper would simply wax poetic about the fragile beauty of nature and decay. Not that they were often asked about it; they rarely entertained guests, owing to their eccentric disposition and even more eccentric choice of living arrangements. That suited them fine. They had the mushrooms to keep them company.

They throw open the door and breathe in deep, filling their nose and their lungs with (probably harmless) spores with a smile.

Another wonderful day in the marshes.
