Well, since this IS a Beetlejuice inspired AU, and I said I’d take nods from the cartoon, let’s see a little of what Molly and Scratch get up to on certain days.
Ok, THIS is the final chapter of the fic.
I want to thank you all for reading the story, which was something I had never done, but it was fun to do something a bit more on the romantic side. I know some of you especially enjoyed this fic. It’s been quite a journey, and now it’s time to see how it all resolves.
In order to avoid overwhelming the reader, I have to split the last chapter into two parts because it was going longer than I was ready for (which means the second half isn’t ready yet, but it’ll be coming pretty fast). Basically, it's like that one time when I wrote 'Her First Fovever Friend' and realized that I had to split a crucial chapter in half since there was too much stuff happening (especially when it came to the emotional stuff).
So… yeah, because of what I did, this actually ISN’T the final chapter. That will be the next one. I promise the wait will be worth it.
I acknowledge that this is weirdly the second time I’ve had Scratch end up in a hospital in a TGAMM fan fic. It was not something I was expecting to do. Also, I kind of wish it could rain where I am right now, given that its summertime.
Also... if anyone reblogs this and comments via the tags... you will need to be careful with possible spoilers for this chapter.
Some stuff was written out ahead of time–I thought some things would end up being part of both the previous and the next chapter, but then I thought, ‘nah, let’s just add it into this one.' The end result is that this is one of the longer chapters that ended up coming out a bit early.
Won’t spoil anything. Just expect some cute stuff and angst. (Also, I feel like I’m going to need to go back and correct the spelling of one thing that I kept messing up).
There’s a lot of cute stuff in this chapter that I enjoyed ^_^ (Like I know there's some Scratch fans that will love this one). Also, Molly being a bit of a wing-girl.
You guys are in luck–chapters 7 and 8 are posted together, so there are two updates!
I was eager to get to this part in the fic and you will find out why because a LOT happens.
At long last–the chapter that I’m sure many will like. Now with more romantic fluff.
Even if this is intended to be a Scratch x reader fic, the friendship between the show’s main duo is still important to me, regardless of whatever TGAMM fic I am doing. So there’s not much romantic stuff in this chapter.
I'll also need to give myself a brief break for a bit. I've been going too fast on these chapters, for one thing.
Also, certain spoiler details from the ending of TGAMM will be used from this point onward.
I know this one came pretty soon, but a chunk of it was already done, so you are getting this chapter early.
Updated the Scratch/reader fic again! There was some stuff I enjoyed writting in this one, though it'll still be awhile until I get to the chapters I especially want to get to.
I'M BACK! Thanks for the wait! Here's chapter 2 of the Scratch x Reader fic!
You don’t want anything to do with the rude ghost with memory loss and questionable eating habits. His only clue to his former life ties into hearing the voice of a girl, and you have to help him find her and discover the connection between them whether you like it or not. A Scratch/reader story that takes heavy inspiration from Just Like Heaven.
This is my first time trying a fictional character/reader fic and I admit I wanted to try a Just Like Heaven AU since the original story is pretty similar to TGAMM. I tried to keep the reader character gender neutral, partly because I don’t know how many people have a crush on Scratch, but also because I did a vote on Tumblr for it.
I also wanted to try something that I haven’t seen other fics do. There will be certain choices in the story the reader can take that reflects them specifically, and then certain small moments will play out differently depending on what kind of person they are. You’ll see what I mean as you read on.
Side note–I also started writing the little story collection from the First Forever Friend fan fic 'verse. They can also be found on Archive of our own.
