Summary
'It was late, at least 11 o’clock on Thursday evening in the Deetz-Maitland household and Lydia was stumped. She’d been working since 9 o’clock trying to practice for her Spanish verbal exam the next day and she wasn’t doing a very good job of it.
Every word just sounded wrong on her tongue, her pronunciation sounding way off each time as she tried to replicate the words using google translate on her phone. She really shouldn’t have left this till the last minute.'

Summary
Agoraphobia: the fear of places that might cause panic, helplessness, or embarrassment. Anxiety disorder that develops after one or more panic attacks.
Symptoms: fear and avoidance of places that might cause (mentioned before).———————————————
The job of a guide is, as you can imagine, increasingly melancholic. You stand by and watch as a complete stranger has their final moments—perhaps reflect on your own, or a loved one's—and know you can't do anything about it. Then, you have to provide them with the correct sources to make it through their afterlife. They haven't a clue about anything and everything around them; they're scared, confused, and so, so utterly alone.
Of course, in Beetlejuice's case, he didn't need to die to feel that way about it.

Summary
When Beetlejuice senses the possibility of imminent death for one of the family, he gathers the rest of the Deetz/Maitlands to travel through the mirror in search of the one entity that can cure anything. However, the entity in question hates demons, is immune to magic, and has been known to skewer the unworthy. But that shouldn't be a problem for our heroes though, right?

Summary
Many months after the Very Strange Day, Beetlejuice had become a recurring visitor to the Maitland-Deetz household. The Deetz family decide to go on a family fishing trip to a small town in Maine for a little R&R (and so that Lydia can get acclimated with her new stepmom). But their family vacation winds up caught in the web of something dangerous and supernatural. Maybe even something beyond what the Ghost with the Most can handle.

Summary
A short story of (movie) Lydia being open to a 'marriage of inconvenience' if it'll let her stay with her only friend/crush forever and get her away from her 'normal' life
....
I had planned to write more chapters that established the characters in the movie to have a dynamic that was a little closer to ones in the cartoon, but I lost momentum and only finished a few chapters. Sorry if things seem nonsensical sometimes, It just felt like a loss to delete it, so I'll post it as is.

Summary
Just shy of her twenty-first birthday, Lydia Deetz is run over by a car. In her afterlife, she runs into a familiar face, and together, they learn to cope.
This wasn’t the way she had pictured it happening. She wanted a memorable, newspaper-worthy ending; the kind of romantic star-crossed tragedy that would make showgoers weep. Or, now that she had been on a streak of embracing life, maybe something that could be pushed right until the end. Incredibly elderly and in her sleep, or doing something fun, like being chucked off a roller coaster.
Set in the universe of the musical.

Summary
Beetlejuice was no stranger to getting his butt kicked—climbing the social ladder of the underworld had been a long and difficult process, but no failure had hurt quite like this one.
Join Beetlejuice and Lydia as they are quite literally forced back to together almost a decade after the original debacle.
————
This is a bit of a passion project for me—I’ve had this in the works for a long time now and I finally feel as if I have enough of a chapter buffer to share this with the world. Unlike my previous stories, I have everything exactly mapped out how I want it to be, so the posting schedule should be much more consistent. Unfortunately, with the chapters being so long, this means the posting schedule will most likely be once every month.
Note: some of Beetlejuice’s personality traits are pulled from the cartoon version, but it’s not super important that you watch the cartoon to understand. This is set in the movie universe, and it will stay in that general realm.

Summary
She straightened up, eyes widening a little. “So, we are going? I passed the tests?”
“Yup. You’re officially weird enough for the weirdest place off Earth. How’s tomorrow night sound to you?”After their previous adventure leaves Lydia and BJ grounded, a bored Lydia decides to exploit a loophole in their punishment to "not to leave the house or garden." If Beetlejuice opens a door through a mirror into an alternate dimension, that totally doesn't count as leaving, right? Loophole or not, maybe Lydia should've listened to her parents (dead and alive), and even to her demon BFFFF, because while this new world is amazing and strange as she could've hoped, it's also a lot more dangerous than she realized.
