    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

    The blinding, unforgiving midday heat is enough to raise blisters on the skin. Looking out over a crowd of folks booing him, calling for his demise, probably should have had some kind of emotional impact. On the occasion of one’s death, after all, one does expect tears. Flowers, laid out in lace, dark veils and coal black clothes, a few muffled sobs from those further back in the funerary procession, unable to contain themselves. Instead he’s met with the dusty faces of former neighbors and strangers alike, all eagerly waiting to hear the exact tone and pitch that his neck will make when it snaps.

    Summary

    Beetlejuice was only afraid of one thing as a child. One may think, having only a singular fear would mean he was hardly ever afraid. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. Because Beetlejuice’s one fear was his own mother.

    Summary

    Delia has been very... different for the past couple of days. The house isn't as lively as it was before, it's almost unnerving.
    Turns out she misses a special someone - I wonder who that could be! And so does everyone else!

    Meanwhile, there's Beetlejuice and Barbara kidnapping (well, is it technically kidnapping if she's unconscious?) Miss Argentina and bringing her over to the Deetz-Maitland's lovely house for a little surprise.

    Summary

    Работа в Преисподней вредит психическому здоровью, и даже самую тихую милашку способна превратить в обезумевшего монстра. Особенно если есть предпосылки. Вас никогда не занимал вопрос, как именно Битлджус дошёл до жизни такой и почему зовётся не Бетельгейзе, как указано на могиле? Каким начальником была Джуно? За что именно призрака вышвырнули с должности ассистента и почему он проклят? Правда, в данном случае Битлджус - "она". Потому что автор болен на голову не менее, чем персонаж.

    Summary

    Born into a remote commune, Adam has always known that he was being treated slightly differently than the other kids. The adults constantly seem to be monitoring him, he’s barred from certain hobbies and activities, and he’d always been instructed never to look at or show anyone his right arm.

    Born as the daughter of the commune leader, one thing has always been made clear to Barbara: she is never allowed to leave. Especially as the black-and-white striped soulmate tattoo she has is said to be a sign that the upcoming demon apocalypse is near.

    Born of the Netherworld to a mother who hates him, Beetlejuice longs not to be alone. The stream of newly deads in the processing area are nice, but temporary. He does have one hope however: the soulmate tattoos on each of his arms

    Aka, Beetlelands soulmate au where the Maitlands were raised in an anti-demon cult.

    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 being sarcastic when he mentioned a possible sequel about finding his dad. Yet here he is once again with the Deetz and Maitlands in another Beetlejuice returns fics. Damn fanfic writers and their hunger for found family stories. What’s a demon supposed to do when life just keeps screwing him over?

    Summary

    Life is wonderful. Well, more like death. It's all I've ever known, all I will ever be. Let me restart. Hi! My name is Beatrice B Shoggoth! I'm a demon, well, child of a demon. But death might not be my case for very long.

    (Based off both the musical and cartoon show neither of which I own the rights to. I saw a lack of these stories and decided to make one. Updates will be slow. This also straight up might be terrible so sorry, there will also eventually be a sequel that with be a reader involved story, this one is to just give context)

    Summary

    The miniature Lydia had long black hair made of yarn that hung to the small of the doll's back— just like hers did. The fabric that made up its skin was just several shades shy of true porcelain— just like hers was. It wore a long-sleeved black sundress that mimicked the ones she often wore, fishnet stockings like the kind she sometimes paired with her shorter dresses, and a set of combat boots that were identical to her favorite pair. It even wore her ring.

    Summary

    He’s sitting there waiting, gnawing on the colored chalk, when Lydia comes into his room. She studies the crude door on his wall, three simple lines.
    “What are you doing?” she can’t help but ask. She’s sixteen, now, attitude everywhere, but they’re still best friends. They've been clinging to each other even harder than ever before, this past year.
    “You should go back to mom,” he says, not glancing back from the drawing, brow furrowed.

    “You’re trying to go there. The Netherworld. You're trying to leave us.”

     

    Thanks to everyone who's read through everything I've put out, so far. We have run out of cute high school nonsense and are now officially in pain territory. Good luck!

    Summary

    What do you do after death? Some explore, some haunt, some sit in the reception area, waiting for the netherworld. That’s exactly what he was doing. Well, until a strangely evil-looking, green man with spiky hair came to disrupt his waiting.
