Betelgeuse flicked his cigarette away and she watched it sail through the air before it disappeared, blipping out of her room as if he'd aimed it at a tiny rift in the fabric of reality. "Whelp, it's not the job I ever thought you'd call me for, but it's not one I mind doin'. C'mere."

He was on her so quickly she couldn't swear she'd actually seen him move, his arms twining around her torso then back and over one another like twin boa constrictors. He buried his face in her neck, mumbling a torrent of c'mere, c'mere, c'mere, c'mere, lemme see what we're workin' with heres. Lydia screamed. Then she laughed. Then she couldn't stop laughing, which made her attempts to escape from the fifty feet of expanding arms snaking around her all the weaker and more ineffectual. They felt soft and bendable, like inflatable Halloween yard decorations. Pushing and pulling at them only made them deflate and collapse around her hands. Betelgeuse pressed himself against her and nuzzled into her neck as she struggled, and she could feel his hands -- at an impossible and increasingly ridiculous distance from his shoulders -- running along the length of her body, stroking every inch of her. It tickled, which only served to make her laugh more. It felt nice.

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

Lydia Deetz spends Halloween alone and suicidally depressed in her graduate housing apartment. Until she doesn't.

not weird! thank you for your interest!

i had four more fics outlined that would have been continuations of INTTCEBTCTM that followed through lydia and beetlejuice's established relationship after that night

the next two were just oneshot porn, the third was oneshot porn which introduced some tension to their relationship, and the fourth was cutesy sfw established relationship meet-the-parents fic with the maitlands

i would still really really like to write all of these because i think they're fun solid ideas, but i just haven't been in the headspace lately

if it helps to satisfy your curiosity, i could tell you that my Vision was definitely that INTTCEBTCTM was not a one-time thing, and lead to lydia and beetlejuice establishing a committed romantic relationship that bridges life and death

i'm happy to hear that you're curious about what happens next!! maybe i'll be more in the beetlebabes mood soon and i'll get back to these projects because they do mean a lot to me and i would really like to bring them properly to life and share them with others
