    Summary

    The sandworm was about two seconds too late, and Lydia is now Beetlejuice's dearly unbeloved wife. Though Juno could only hold him for so long, Lydia didn't account for ten years of peace turning into ten years of whatever comes next. This is what things could have looked like if Beetlejuice had not only successfully married Lydia, but also how they cohabitate, make friends, and eventually trust each other.

    Summary

    I've waited hours for this / I've made myself so sick
    I wish I'd stayed / Asleep today
    I never thought this day would end
    I never thought tonight could ever be / This close to me

    Summary

    It's been a year since Anna Dutton left Vietnam after the explosion that eliminated Edward Hayes' criminal empire and killed her surrogate father, Moody. And a year since the face-off with her enemy and one-time lover, Rembrandt. Settled into a new life, she's deep in denial about a small, lingering hope. Today, that hope is answered.

    Summary

    It’s like he got five moves ahead of her while she was out cold. Five moves he’s probably welcome to, given that he could’ve killed her, could’ve left her, instead of doing what she can only imagine as foolhardy heroics. Moody would say that kind of weakness isn’t getting ahead, it’s forfeiting the entire game.

    Anna and Rembrandt do much better trying to save each other than they ever did trying to kill each other.

    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.
