You're an aspiring actress who has been living in New York for a couple of years, when you hear of several ensemble members from Broadway's "Beetlejuice" leaving to join other shows, leaving gaps in the cast. Excited and nervous, you try out, and land a part. But things are weird. Props, particularly the sandworms, are treated as living creatures, the special effects are good, and I mean REALLY good, so good you wonder how they do it, and some of the main cast have been acting a bit weird. You go on a mission to find out why this is happening, and just how in the world you got roped into this mess. *Note* I started writing this before Sophia left, so for the sake of my story, I'm keeping Sophia as Lydia. Just wanted to clarify lol. Enjoy! 🤗

She was the wealthy daughter of an Italian dignitary who just wanted to choose for herself. He was a man from a broken home who just wanted to be seen. But what happens when their paths cross? And when one is cursed to dwell on for eternity while the other is cursed to death for eternity? *Author's Note* Hey, it's my first x reader. So be nice. Constructive criticism is welcome, but not unnecessary bashing. I understand I'm not perfect, thanks. Also, the first part of this story takes place in the early 1800's, while the latter part takes place in modern times (to find out why you should read it lol :p). Due to this, I have done extensive research to make the times as accurate as possible. With that having been said, the only inaccuracy that I can think of is the fact that the school of Juilliard (lol yup you heard that right ;p) wasn't founded until 1905. But for the sake of my timeline and laziness, we're gonna pretend it was around in 1810, okay? Okay thanks. The Beetlejuice in this fic is based on the one in the musical, not the movie or show. However, feel free to imagine him however you want. Thanks if you read this far. Um okay enjoy I guess. God I have no idea what I'm doing anymore lol someone plz shoot me hahahaaa 🙃
