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
Cross-posted from Tumblr. A short(?) drabble of my OC Elias Graves teaching Lydia witchcraft, specifically a potion. And Beetlejuice is there for minor hijinx. Basically just lore and a tiny bit of humor (plus a little hints of Graves x Beej).

Summary
BeetleJuice’s life has taken a 180 since he returned to the Netherworld after the shenanigans at the Maitland’s house 15 years ago. The once feral Ghost with the Most has gone from a party animals with no filter to a tamed family man with an office job, a wife and kids. Not to mention the drastic physical changes that have taken place from years on a stressful job and his wife having a kink for fat guys.
Both his waistline and his heart have grown from Lydia’s love, but he’s perfectly ok with that. Life might be completely different for the former bio-exorcist, and he couldn’t be happier for it.
Domestic Fluff mixed with some feedist based NSFW content.

Summary
Beetlejuice has been back living with the Maitlands and the Deetz for a few months now, almost a year at this point. The adults of the house were still trying to figure out exactly Beetlejuice’s whole “deal”. They didn’t understand him, and they weren’t sure if they agreed with Lydia on this one.
or
Beetlejuice lives with everyone now, acts like a child, gets yelled at, meets Lydia's breather friend, and cries.
