    Summary

    Lydia should have known better than to make deals with strange men on bridges, but when he's offering a way into the Netherworld to find Dead Mom, all sense went out the window. Now though, she finds herself trapped in a world of the strange and unusual with no way home, while also navigating being tied to a temperamental demon who cant even say his own name.

    Beetlejuice had never had interest in owning a human, "Never Trust the Living" were worlds to live by. But there's something about the dark haired girl that changes his mind, now he just has to figure put how to get her to break his curse.

    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.
