Word Count: 4,015
Rating/Warnings: Recommended for general audiences who enjoy spooky-wooky fluff.
Disclaimer: These character's belong to Dan Harmon, etc., etc. I simply enjoy manipulating them.
Author's Note: A heartfelt thanks to my beta, bethanyactually, who helped turn this story into something sweet; she certainly is a treat! (Please forgive me.) I also must thank pepperf for prompting me!
The title of this fic comes from a passage from the novel Attachments by Rainbow Rowell. It's all indulgent, Halloween-themed fluff from here, folks. Enjoy!
