Fics like domestic

With a house so big, it seems like a waste to not use all of it. Which is why she starts deliberately making an effort to spend time in the parts of it she and Joel don’t use often. The linen closet, the dining room, the two spare bedrooms, what Joel says used to be an office, even the attic, nothing gets untouched on her quest to make sure no inch of the house goes unappreciated. She always does it when Joel is out of the house, knowing that it’s a little strange, but she gets a thrill from it, the ability to think something like, “I’m in the spare bedroom of my house right now” and know that it’s not just a fantasy anymore. And if it would likely set her up to have Joel call her a weird kid again, this new little hobby of hers, well. What Joel doesn’t know won’t get her roasted. (ellie settles into having a house) (and then into having a home)
