My headcanon on how Theo and Trish got close in the end

Theo x Trish

- On that night when Trish was ready to leave after the booty call, asked her to stay. Trish stayed, though she’s not sure why Theo only stared at a corner blankly for the rest of the night.

- when they buried Nell Trish only stayed close to Theo and be with her. Theo didn’t say anything, but Trish just rubbed her back to comfort her. (she was actually surprised when Theo didn’t shy away).

- They didn’t talk until they were back at the funeral home, where Theo seemed lonely and refused to talk to her family. Trish cracked a joke about alcoholism, and that was the first time she saw Theo smile with affection.

- Theo thanked her for coming and apologized again for being hostile at the funeral.

- after the funeral Theo actually thought of asking Trish out, until Luke stole her car and the whole shenanigan with Hill House happened.

- after Hill House Theo surprised her by texting her to ask her out on a dinner date. Trish got so nervous she was almost late because she couldn’t decide what outfit to wear. (should she go for modest? what if she gets disinterested? Or the sexy one? But it’s supposed to be a date, not a booty call)

- she went for modest in the end. During the dinner they got to know each other. Trish loves Theo’s wit, and Theo likes how warm Trish feels when her bare fingers slid across Trish’s knuckles.

- In fact, Trish only realized Theo wasn’t wearing gloves when Theo took her home. They didn’t have sex that night, but it’s okay. Both knew they are starting something genuine and they are looking forward to it.

- After a few more successful dates, late night texting, sleepovers at each other’s houses, Theo decides it’s time for her to move out with Trish. Trish agrees without hesitation. Shirley is, of course, proud of her little sister (but will forever miss their late night talks and Theo’s never-ending stash of beer).

- After moving in together, Theo never wears the gloves anymore. Not when Trish is always there to hold her hand.

Steve and Shirl trying to revive a dying Luke while Theo is in the corner having a weird sex dream about how she got on Santa’s naughty list.

The Haunting of Hill House (2018) one-shot.

Summary: After her death, Nellie drifted between past and present, sometimes trapped in moments that are beautiful, some horrifying. Happens from the moment when Nellie dies until the Red Room scene in the final episode.

Notes: This one had been in my mind some weeks ago, and while it took a while I finally finished it. Excited to hear your thoughts on this piece!

Christmas with the Crains would have:

- Shirley insisting they don’t have to bring anything for the dinner (Leigh and Trish bring dessert anyway)

- Steve and Shirley bicker about something minor but shut up when Luke looks at them dejected.

- Theo and Trish probably having a quickie somewhere

- Jayden and Allie tries to teach the adults to play Among Us, Luke and Trish are familiar with the game, Theo doesn’t but quickly catches on, Shirley tries to but she’s a dinosaur

- All the adults got the kids presents, even for baby Eleanor

- Each sibling reveals a surprise during dinner: Luke gets a course in college as a concept artist, Steve is moving on from horror and his literary agent thinks his new work is promising, Theo and Trish are going to adopt a daughter and Shirley is willing to support Luke financially

- Steve also reveals he has kept Luke’s share of the royalty for The Haunting of Hill House, which he teased he could “get a fucking PhD like Theo did” (Theo laughed, Shirley glared at him mouthed ‘language’)

- Shirley had to hide most of her booze or else Theo would finish them in one go.

- The kids get curious with Trish’s tattoos, and Trish like the human sunshine she is, shares with them why she got each of them

- Luke also spends time with his niece and nephew, especially baby Eleanor, who is most quiet when Uncle Luke holds her.

- At the end of the day when the kids are taken to bed, the Crains just sit together in silence, 3 candles lit before them in remembrance of Nell and their parents. Their spouses sit with them silently, knowing this is important for them.

- Some of them might cry, usually Luke or Shirl. Theo just stares blankly, her hand holding Trish’s tightly. Steve just smiles and chooses to remember all the precious moments he spent with his dad when they were young
