prompt: doll for originalfic100
rating: r. ish.
word count: 1118
a/n and kind of a warning: the r is for murdering. the ish is for that murder being non-explicit. honestly, i'm not very good at rating things to begin with, so i'm not 100% sure about this one.

( What Jamison would always remember was the steeple of the church submerged in the lake and the ghosts of a congregation long passed. )

I'm such a sucker for a good prompt table. So when I found originalfic100 (and how, how did I not know about this community before), it was inevitable that I was going to sign up for something. And I did! The House of Yellow Roses, or, more shortly, the Yellow Roses 'verse, which is a 'verse in which an immortal boy and his angelic sister collect ghosts in their little, unnamed town, by giving them the one thing they most desire. The main character is one of these ghosts, only he keeps leaving the town to start new lives/die again/journey across space and time with the help of the immortal boy's magical house/hall of doorways to everywhere. It is strange! What am I saying everything I write is strange, that was a given. It is probably on par with Lalo though, and Lalo is pretty strange.

Is it uncouth to post something like this before the moderator of the community has even seen your sign-up post? I think it is, a little. BUT I AM DOING IT ANYWAYS.

This is the table I will be working from:
