    Summary

    Lydia has a long list of problems and isn't keen to add more to it, but when Betelgeuse starts appearing more frequently warning her of his vengeful ex-wife, well...clearly she needs to do some thinking about the company she keeps. Lydia is taken down a dangerous path as she tries to reconnect with her daughter in the midst of a mad woman's schemes, a teenage psychopath, and man she can't put in a box in the back of her mind anymore.

     

    Basically a rewrite of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice but there's less plot holes and the bad guys are actually fulfilling their potential.
    * Also disclaimer, any attraction between our two main characters is when Lydia is an ADULT. Same for Betelgeuse, he just wanted his green card and went about it in the worst way possible, it's just weird and gross to ship kid Lydia with him, or imply he's been in love with her since she was a child. Not in this fic, thank you.

    Summary

    Clara Roland never really talked to anyone, at school at least. She had tea with her neighbor Mrs. Duphry ever so often, and she had her parents. Plus who needs friends when you need to study everyday to get into your dream school, but everything changes when she crashes (literally) into a new face. He's not like that other kids at school and gets her, maybe they'll become friends...or more.

     

    Or...she kool aid mans into a boy's backyard and he may or may not be a ghost.

    (I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!) Arthur Conti is my new crush I love him so much, he's what made me love the new Beetlejuice movie. PLEASE WATCH IF YOU HAVEN'T! You don't need to but my story is basically the same plot.

    Summary

    Alternatively: I THREW A BUNCH OF FANDOMS INTO A FIC SO THIS IS A CROSSOVER SOUP NOW. Also there's a common theme between these as seeing ghosts, monsters, supernatural things that the normal people ignore. And creepy small towns.

    I'm not sure where i'm going with this, but i have some ideas that i need to get rid of by writing this fic.

    Read the tags, i can try to put tw's but there's an overall theme of abuse and cultish things.

    Summary

    Astrid fidgeted with the decorative rings dotting her fingers on both hands. "Yeah, well, I like remembering my dad. Oh also, speaking of the dead, you should've seen the play mom took me to last Halloween at the Van Dort Playhouse in NYC. The story was about a guy who accidentally marries a corpse."
    Jeremy startled. "Oh?" His shoulders bunched.
    "Yeah, but it was so overdramatic." Leaning down to the attic floor, she retrieved her plastic cup of red-violet grape soda. "With this hand, I will lift your sorrows," she quoted.

     

    ***
    A fanfic brave enough to ask the real questions: (1) What if the plot twist that Jeremy was actually a two-timing murderer never happened? and (2) What if Jeremy and Astrid had a meetcute similar to Emily and Victor Van Dort?

    Summary

    Beetlejuice Beetlejuice didn’t quite live up to my expectations. I was disappointed by some of the creative choices, particularly in how certain characters were portrayed and the story direction. This fic is my re-imagining of the movie, reflecting how I feel the characters and story could have been better developed.
    WARNING: The NOTES section has some spoilers if you've never seen the movie.

    Summary

    Beetlejuice didn't break deals. You could say a lot about him – he was a crude, manipulative conman that smelled like a rotting corpse that had been left out in the sun – but a deal was a deal as far as he was concerned. And Lydia Deetz had made a deal to marrying him. He had kept his end of it and rescued that saltine cracker of a couple the Maitlands from becoming lost souls. She would keep hers, even if he did have to wait a couple of decades for his chance. It was fine. He was dead. It wasn't like he didn't have the time.

    There was only one deal Beetlejuice had ever broken, and to be fair, he hadn't known what he was agreeing to when it happened. It was in the past, though, and when he finally married Lydia, it wouldn't matter anymore.

    Too bad he forgot he wasn't the only one who only had time on their hands.

    Or

    My own alternate version of Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice.

    Summary

    This is a story of dead boy meets living girl. Asking, what if Jeremy had simply been a sad, lonely ghost with sociopathic tendencies who met a girl who was tired of life.

    He took in the smattering of freckles on Astrid’s nose, her cheeks, the petulant way her mouth set into a frown, did he want to leave? Because for twenty-three years, five months, and four days, he had. And suddenly, he could wait a little while?
