INCONVENIENCE
"What?! You think ghosts are just supposed to be scaring people for no good reason until they die and then drag their victim to hell or somethin?! What nonsense!"

Also this story is extremely short as i do not have the motivation to write long stories :sob: And im still an amateur at writing so there's that. Credits: @icebridgedaddy for writing the prologue and epilogue.Complete
Human!Betelgeuse (Beetlejuice) x Reader
First year of college! Your major is undecided and you're mostly focusing on your core classes right now. Now this isn't going to be your classic "love at first sight" spiel. In fact it may just be the opposite. A/N: I'm excited to write this story! This is my first time writing fan fiction in three years so I hope I'm not too rusty. Please feel free to leave suggestions in the comments. I plan on making this a decently long story and I'll try to write as frequently as I can but I am busy a lot with school and working on finding a job. IMPORTANT NOTICE: There may be a few triggers and I will be sure to put them at the top of the chapter every time. Please do not ignore these. Please don't read the chapter anyways because you like the story. Your mental health is so much more important than some stupid xReader. Take care of yourself. I love all of you. Also I won't make any super dramatic changes unless a lot of people want them (i.e. killing off a character, breaking up couples, etc.)Complete

Haunted
The dead typically want one of two things. Ghosts crave conversation. Spirits seek pain. My name is Bria, and I've been able to interact with the dead for as long as I can remember. Communicating with the deceased might sound like a cool gift, but let me assure you, it's not. Ghosts don't shut up, and not all specters are friendly. In fact, most of them are dangerous. Pretending the paranormal doesn't exist is far easier than talking to the shadows, so I've been avoiding the dead for years. Past experiences have led me to avoid the living too. And for a long time, I've successfully kept my distance. Until a single ghost encounter in the library ruins everything. Now a couple of my classmates know my secret. But as it turns out, they have a deadly secret of their own. Time to talk to the shadows again. _______________ This story contains profanity and violence. [ONC 2021 Shortlister]Complete
