    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

    Turned human and back in the living world, Betelgeuse, having been a demon for almost his entire afterlife, not entirely and fully used to being alive, has to now rely on the Maitlands and the Deetzes to help him if he’s going to figure this whole living thing out.

    He thinks learning to be alive is easy. He just didn’t expect it to be harder than it seemed.

    Summary

    It’s the anniversary of the death of Lydia’s mom.

    All four of Lydia’s parents have noticed that she’s been down, the only ones Lydia seems to be wanting to spend time with being her dad and Betelgeuse. When he and Betelgeuse start to notice she’s spending more time with them and less time with Delia and the Maitlands, he and Betelgeuse strive to get her to at least spend time with them. But will she?

    When Lydia and Betelgeuse start going out more often to go and look for lost ghosts, Lydia ends a day getting grounded by all four of her parents.

    And when Lydia loses the ability to see the Maitlands, her dad, Delia, and Betelgeuse must do everything they can to help her be able to see them again.

Alas, he stumbles upon ___, a newly moved in non-binary person, a quite reclused and strange individual who shall not take any crap from anybody, especially from him. What shall these two be up to?

    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.
