Ghosts and the Supernatural

[mysid]

It's almost October, boys and girls, and that means Halloween. What are your favorite QaF stories with supernatural elements? And no, I don't "Supernatural" the series--just your ordinary ghosts, goblins, and other things that go bump in the night.

Ghosts:
I already love Never Have, Never Will, a story in which Brian's loft is haunted by Michael

There is this one (or two maybe...) story where Justin dies in New York and he return to the loft as a spirit. It's really good.

I don't remember by whom it was but I think there's two parts to it; one of it begins really slow and it kinda of with Justin's "ashes" somehow appearing at Brian's door. And the other one is where Brina goes on with his life and everyone wonders why he's not all distraught. But when he comes home Justin is there talking to him and everything, but no one else can see him.

OH and there this other one where Justin is dead and he comes back to Brian and apparently Gus is sick or something and he draws what's happening and alerts Brian. So then Brian calls Mel and Gus is fine.....

:( I remember these stories but I don't remember where they're from D: !!!!! SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!! Hopefully someone will remember some of them :( ....

I think the Justin's ghost alerts Brian to Gus being sick one is the awesome Better Now by suzvoy? :)

Thanks. This is the "Justin died when he was bashed and now haunts Brian" story I was looking for.

Oh good :) It's the only fic I've ever read where one of them's dead but it managed to make me happy anyway, lol.

I know you made it clear, not the series Supernatural... but there are a handful of fics that combine both shows and a haunting/creature, etc.
Some better than others.... but still, some what on theme, given the ghost/scary aspect.

Most are based on the premise that some supernatural entity is bothering Brian or Justin and the pretty boys from Supernatural come to take care of it.

Thanks. I don't watch Supernatural, but I'm not opposed to reading good crossovers.

Fun request! I love Halloween, so will begin with a couple plain ol' Halloween fics: bigboobedcanuck's Tricks, Treats & Tops and wren_kt7oz's A Pirate's Tale and her other Halloween fics.

This is a list of holiday fics by holiday, so a good list to keep handy. There are a number of Halloween fics here, but I don't know if the links are still good or not. But there's always the Wayback Machine! ;)

Randall wrote some holiday stuff. Lemme look. Forever Also, he wrote a 33-chapter permanently abandoned WIP that is good from what I remember, but should be read with that caveat firmly in mind. Very disappointing it wasn't finished. Brian is taken to the underworld to become some something, I forget... Good and evil ensue. The Quiet MenThere's one that I read where Justin had died years ago and he comes to talk to Brian every now and then at Britin. He's talking to Brian during a Christmas party in this fic; Gus is grown & married with kids and Brian talks about the grandkids and later he gives transfers ownership of Kinnetik to Gus. It's kinda angsty

I'm pretty sure the Buffy crossover you're thinking of is Thin Ice by Valerie Z. Love it!

Thanks! I'm especially fond of A Pirate's Tale--in all it's anti-Mikey glory. ;D

Another very late comment, but I just happened across this fic recently and it's one I mentioned in my comment above about ghost!Justin visiting Brian at a Kinnetic Halloween party at Britin. And the Rain Falls, by SterlingDragonfly on the Moonshadow Tribe.

I also loved a story in which Justin rents the loft only to meet ghost-Brian. Brian is in a coma, not dead, but I can't remember the title.

That's Just Like Heaven (like the movie!) by CuJo. Love that fic :)

Thanks! I'm not familiar with the movie--and that's undoubtedly the reason I didn't remember the title.

[wouldbedorothy]

I don't know if you'll like it as much without BJ, but the movie stars Reese Witherspoon (technically, she's the Brian, lol, 'cause she's the one in the coma) and Mark Ruffalo and is really wonderful :)

I've got a Halloween fic that doesn't have any ghost or goblins or any other supernatural things, but it's a horror story that takes place in a haunted house. It's called 96 (aka Psycho Fic) by Layla V (laylafic). The gang goes to an innocent haunted house for halloween, but things aren't always as they seem as they get trapped in the haunted house by a psycho guy. It's an amazing fic that keeps you on your toes! :)

[mysid]

Mwahaha! I'll save that one for reading on a dark and stormy night.

I believe some people were saying that they had to read the story with the lights on because they were getting scared. I read it with the lights off and yes it's totally creepy. Hope you like it and happy reading!! :)
