MY HEART IS A HAUNTED HOUSE: MASTERPOST
By Laur, Clementine, Art, Laura, Scadaz, Kit, Tama, ft. @lady-snow-flower, @gem-morey, @kingofdemxns, @elliot-morey, @wolf-innsheepsclothing, @bones-weary, @ahearts-a-heavyburden, @princess-ting-ting, and guest starring @labellerose-acheron and @trip-downtheriverstyx
Author's Note: On the surface, this plot does not have the site-wide stakes of previous big plots I have done - and yet, I think this is the most complex and rewarding plot I've ever embarked on! I owe so much to my Hauntley Crew and RP partners who were game for this, who were patient with me, who asked great questions, who pushed me to be a better plotter and project manager (lol), and who filled in my rough plot skeleton(s) with flesh, blood, and heart. I mean it when I say this plot wouldn't look the same without everyone contributing and that's my favorite part - how much it changed and expanded with everyone's input. And isn't that what RP is supposed to be?
Thus, here is the roadmap to My Heart Is A Haunted House. It is one of my proudest achievements. I really hope y'all enjoyed it, no matter if you read one para or all the paras. And thank you to my partners again!! Look what we did!! (Rough Estimate: This has to be at least 60k-70k words, which is a novel y'all. One day I'll make an effort to actually add it all up.)

Once Upon a December, Part Five: Dim as an Ember🔥[Snow Quartz]
In which Gem breaks into the Hauntley Inn... [takes place: June 15, just before midnight]
@lady-snow-flower
[cw -- none]
part one: across my memory
part two: things my heart used to know
part three: things it yearns to remember
part four: things i almost remember
if you want the full experience of this thread, please read this one first: The Unbecoming of the Hauntley Manor...(you absolutely do not have to...but it adds to the experience i promise.)
🔥🔥🔥.
GEM:
Gem was inside a memory. It was raining and he could hear his voice from the other room. (Nine! he called after Snow’s beloved cat. Why did that make him so sad? She was still alive here, in this memory.) The walls shook with rage, like the whole house was going to cave in on itself. Gem needed to get upstairs. He needed to find Snow.
He waded through the dark and then, he was in the upstairs hallway. Gem didn’t question this. It only meant that he was closer to his goal.
“I didn’t lie about how I felt, I was always honest with her. Just because we can’t—” The falter Gem heard in his own voice echoing down the hall made his heart pinch, “—it doesn’t mean I don’t care. You sound jealous as fuck.”
Where was Snow? He had to find her. She was waiting for him. Waiting to speak with him. Waiting for him to bring her back. To call her forth.
“If I had lost her, you wouldn’t be trying so hard to get rid of me.”
She wasn’t lost. Gem knew that. Any moment now, it would be Snow’s own voice again, saying his name so sweetly. He needed to find her. The hallway elongated. With every step, Gem passed the same windows, the same pattern on the rug that ran along the corridor.
“So where is she?”
Where is she?
“Where is Snow? Give her back. She’s not yours. She belongs here.”
With me.
“With me.”
With those words, Gem called Snow to him...

I woke up feeling like I was crying to sleep when I wasn't??? And my dream was about Mei from Turning Red riding a snow sleigh. Um There's nothing sad about that??? Lol
Anyway, the warm up sketches. The colors were added in Medibang. It was pretty fun, might do that technique some other time. My body still refused to recover from being bummed out throughout the day so I did house chores instead of commissions. 😅 Will try again tomorrow.

ah yes, my favorite media. a grand story about the horror and tragedy of war set featuring a massive space war that was a rebellion against an oppressive colonial empire hellbent on conquest (which also experiments on its subjects), a main cast of mostly female characters, a key romance between two women, and a clone army of female super soldiers.
my favorite character in this story is a woman named rose. though not physically present in the text, her absence echoes throughout the narrative in a way that makes those closest to her do great and terrible things. she comprises one half of the key romance (of which the other half is deeply devoted to her even after she is gone). she has done some deeply awful things in her past, but that doesn't stop me excusing her shitty actions <3
wait, am i talking about steven universe or once upon a time in space?
(meme redraw lol)

Man Overboard || Gem, Elli, Wolf
Summary: Takes place July 15th. Ting informs everyone that the Captain must possess a willing host to enter the time loop. Discussion - then pandemonium - ensures.
TW: drowning, violence, blood, self-harm
@gem-morey @elliot-morey @wolf-innsheepsclothing
***
GEM:
They needed the Captain.
Gem should’ve guessed this. It felt obvious now. With two people down and everyone else floundering (including Gem, not that he’d admit it to anyone)--the Captain would be the key. The Hauntley’s Lord, come to steer the ship home.
But Gem wasn’t a complete idiot. He knew possessions were no small thing. He’d grown up with a brother susceptible to them. He was watching, now, what was happening to Snow. They were ugly cruel things. Ghosts were ugly and cruel things; mockeries of life.
They stood in the yard of the Inn, in the shadow of the house. Ting-Ting had just gotten further than any of them. Snow had come through again, but she had been pulled back. Pulled back under the tow of the Captain’s storming ship. How much of this was that fucker’s fault to begin with?
“Can you summon him?” Gem asked Elliot softly, his eyes casting around the rest of the group who were all looking hungrily at his brother. Gem wasn’t sure his own expression didn’t match. Can you save her? Was what he was really asking.

Once Upon a December, Part One: Across My Memory 🔥[Snow Quartz]
In which Gem Morey and Snow Song meet for the first time...or wait...haven't they met before? [takes place: did it?]
@lady-snow-flower
[cw -- none]
if you want the full experience of this thread, please read this one first: Deck the Halls...(you absolutely do not have to...but it adds to the experience i promise.)

SNOW:
The Hauntley Inn was still not always her Hauntley Inn.
She wandered from room to room, from decade to decade. Most often, she saw the inn the way that Lady Miracle wanted her to see it: in its perfect splendor in the months after the Captain’s death. It was pristine, sparkling, brand new– and lonely for all of that untouched beauty. Yet every now and then, she opened a door and saw the Hauntleys themselves as they sat and sipped blood from wine glasses while reading an old edition of the Swynlake Squire. Or she would go upstairs and hear music from the ballroom, then find herself swept up in the celebrations of one Lord James Rackham II, son of Oliver Rackham’s eldest brother, new owner of the Inn, destined to die within the fortnight. But for that night, he reveled with rich friends and plotted his revenge.
Even more rarely, since Gem had broken in, Snow thought she heard the murmurs of her friends just beyond the doors, or down the hall, or up the stairs. When she heard these voices, she went running through the whole inn, throwing doors open carelessly. But the rooms were always empty. Those voices remained beyond her, in a different time that she didn’t have access to– as if her friends had clicked ‘play’ on a song a few seconds before she could and so she danced off-beat, misaligned.
She tried to cling to hope...

There is a rock in my bedroom, he has no face. I still consider him one of my friends. do you feel like this ever?
just because he doesn't have a face doesnt mean he isnt a friend. sometimes a rock struggles with who it is and thats okay!! give him some time. he'll form one on his own with some light encouragement!!
