Synopsis

The TARDIS brings the Doctor and Lucie to a vast house on the planet known as Horton's Orb. The only house on Horton's Orb, in fact. Outside its outsized windows there's nothing. No land. No sea. No sky. No life. Just an endless expanse of static.

Inside the house, there's an upstairs and a downstairs – servants below, gentlefolk from the finest of the house's families above. Alas, there are altogether too few eligible ladies on the upper floors these days. Meaning there's a vacancy for Miss Lucie Miller, single and unattached...

Outside the house, the static howls on. Except now, the static wants to get in.

The setting of the titular House was my favourite thing about this story – I love weird, constructed little societies like this. It's quite a satisfying mystery, with setup and payoff neatly intertwined. Also, if I had a nickel for each time a Doctor Who story takes place in a massive creepy house made out of the flesh and bone and enamel of a single person I'd have two nickels, which isn't much but it's weird it happened twice etc...

I surprised myself by how much I liked the character of Frances. I love that weird, anxious, upper-class lesbian. And who wouldn't fall in love with Lucie Miller?

help the title is taking up all of my character limit*
Fun little setting here. The story isn't particularly deep, but I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it.

loved this one, very bridgerton in space sort of vibes, the plot itself was actually quite dark at points with the house reveal. really good solid story!
