Contents

Plot

  • Wednesday Addams is walking in the woods near Nevermore Academy when she encounters a statue of an angel with its head in its hands. When she walks away from it, the statue moves. Wednesday backs into a tree, causing her to blink and the statue moves again, its hands reaching toward her. Suddenly frightened, Wednesday is at a loss as to how to escape the angel when she hears her teacher Ms. Thornhill approaching. Wednesday warns her away, only to discover that the angel has vanished. She later sneaks into the Nightshades' library and reads about the creature she encountered: a Weeping Angel.

Worldbuilding

Wednesday Addams

  • Wednesday is a student at Nevermore Academy. She likes talking long walks in the woods to get away from the drama of her life. She rarely blinks. She is working on a novel about a protagonist named Viper.

Other

  • Ms. Thornhill is one of Wednesday's teachers and wears red boots.
  • A Weeping Angel kills its victims by sending them into the past and feeding on the energy of the life they would have lived in the present. It cannot move when observed by a living being.

Continuity

  • Wednesday feels as if she is losing her mind again.
  • She knows how to access the Nightshades' library.
  • She mentions Joseph Crackstone.

Behind the scenes

  • The story was inspired by the fact that Jenna Ortega's Wednesday rarely blinks. It is set in between episodes 3 and 4 of the first season of Wednesday.
  • The author struggled to come up with a resolution before settling on the irony of Wednesday being saved by Thornhill, who was ultimately revealed as the villain of the series.
