    Summary

    "One of the many drawbacks of living in a haunted house was the inability to shit in peace."

    This is a story of what would happen if Betelgeuse decided to haunt Lydia once again, despite her being a middle-aged widow with a moody stepson. And her late husband possibly came to watch. Movieverse, sorta cartoonverse if it was gory, we don't talk about the musical.

    It is set in 2012 and to paraphrase Hitchcock, starts with a pointless death and is followed by rising tension. It explores a plethora of themes focused on patchwork families, loss, toxic relationships, mental health issues, and personal responsibility vs. responsibility for others. We're not only grieving after people, but also after lost chances and choices that cannot be undone.

    Romance angle/love triangle/rectangle, beetlebabes angst longfic with a semi-happy ending (depending on your interpretation). More serious than straight-out dark. TW inside - hope you'll enjoy.

    Summary

    While attending university, Lydia gets a chance of a lifetime, but an inconvenient 18-wheeler on a rainy day strands her between life and death, with no apparent escape from her predicament. Could a blast from the past be the key to her salvation, or is the price too high a cost? Join Lydia in this post-film journey with playful nods to the cartoon, as the story undergoes a transformative rewrite, delving deeper into the realms of the afterlife.

    Summary

    It's been 35 years in the living world since Betelgeuse tried to marry Lydia Deetz, and he's only just clawed his way back to his old status. Saskia Weathers, twenty-two years old and almost totally alone, has pretty much abandoned living since she found out her Stage 4 cancer is too far gone and she’s just killing time until she dies.
    But when a flyer comes offering guidance to the other side and Saskia reads the three-time name out loud, it turns out it’s not the joke she thought it was. Betelgeuse soon recognizes that they have a goal in common – being alive. Well, there is a way. Betelgeuse offers Saskia a proposal - one that will make him more alive and allow her to live longer.

    But having a ghost around is one thing. Being married to a part-ghost, still powerful in spite of living? Saskia does not know what she's agreed to.

    Summary

    What if Lydia grew up and changer her name to Joyce after she got divorced, wouldn't that be neat. And what if, hypothetically, something were to happen to her son and she needed some sort of paranormal help? If only there was someone she could call...

    Beetlejuice would absolutely love to be in Stranger Things so I set this up to put him there. Also I love Winona Ryder.
