Home again, home again

We are home from visiting my parents for the holidays! It was a good visit, but I am so glad to be home.

I got a most fantastic gift for Yuletide:

Hereafter
Haunting of Hill House

A very in-character look at what Theo does in the immediate aftermath of Eleanor's suicide. I absolutely adore that the hand Theo is holding at the end of this story is real and of someone who loves her, not the ghostly hand that Nell was holding (or Nell holding her own hand as I have seen some literary critics argue). I realized I had gone out to pinch hit a few days before the collection went live, and I am doubly impressed that my author wrote something so fine and beautiful for me in such a short amount of time. Everyone, go give this story some love.

I haven't been able to read much yet, but have some recs in other fandoms.
