    Summary

    Lydia wasn’t supposed to have brought him back. I mean, he was banished to the Netherworld! Surely saying his name three times wouldn’t bring him back, right?

    She was so wrong.

    Summary

    Lydia’s counsellor at school wanted her to start trying to keep a diary, so she did.

    Also may have some chapters/parts written in more of a story-based format and not being her diary entries. We'll see how long I can maintain the motivation to write this.

    Summary

    “This is something I *need* to learn to do, Beej. It’s a legacy of deliciousness. Dead Mom made the best homemade donuts. Every Halloween, she’d hand them out instead of candy, and we were the most popular house on the block. Even the biggest chickens would go through the haunted house section to get to them. If we’re going to win Halloween, we need these donuts.”
    Lydia decides to recreate an important part of the Deetz Halloween traditions.

    Summary

    Her flying attack hug almost knocked him into the door as she wrapped her arms around him and squeezed as hard as she could. “I missed you, you sick freak.”
    Apparently stunned by her reaction, it took him a few seconds to respond, but then he was hugging her back just as hard. “I missed you too, you twisted psycho.”

    After moving into a haunted house, spending three days of pranks with a demon, and going on a trip to the afterlife, regular living can be... rather boring. Lydia promised to look for the stranger than usual, but that's hard to find in the very mundane Winter Pines. Bored and lonely, she accidentally says a certain demon's name out loud. Turns out, she's not the only one bored and lonely. Shenanigans, arguments, and epic pranks ensue.

    Summary

    “So. Lydia,” he looked down at a paper he’d brought with him full of questions he was supposed to ask her.

    “When did you start experiencing these ‘visions’ of ‘past lives’?”

    God, she wanted to punch him. It was so clear he’d been assigned to her as a project for some dumb course he was probably taking because he thought it would be an easy A – which he was now actually failing.

    And here she was, being forced to indulge him by her latest set of parents.

    ------

    “One shall live forever. One shall be reborn. Two souls bound together, this curse endlessly borne, for both eternally mourn”.

    Summary

    A bright contrast to their office, this girl was filthy. Her body adorned in a rag that resembled what might've once been a dress, her feet bare. The girl’s hair was so dirty, Barbara was surprised it still had a golden hue around the pitch blackness of it. Maybe part of her inhumanness? Camilla did tell them they would be meeting all sorts of creatures around these parts, with all kinds of different appearances.

    Although, this girl looked human. Bare the pointed ears, tiny horns, and the tip of a tail they could see protruding out behind her. A bruised, hurt, and broken little girl.

    Summary

    An alternate universe where Lydia is a highly sensitive medium who's abilities awaken after Emily's death. Charles is extremely skeptical but plays along with it in the beginning when Lydia tells him about the 'ghosts' in the attic.
    But when she begins to speak of a demon tormenting her, experiences horrific night terrors each night, and falling into spontaneous dazes and panic attacks blaming them all on the demon, Charles becomes concerned and decides to find a therapist for her.
    Lydia of course is enraged by this, but as she learns to navigate a series of unhelpful therapists, she finds herself learning to reach out for her father for help. Simultaneously, Charles finds there may be more truth to Lydia's tales than he first believed, and works to become the father he wants to be and who Lydia needs so desparately.

    Summary

    In negotiations, you always start out asking for more than what you want. That’s why Beetlejuice asked for Charles’ firstborn - he didn’t really want the man’s teenage daughter, just the bargaining chip. But apparently he overvalued the kid.
