Summary
"Alright, so like... what should we do? How do we like... investigate a murder?"
"Considering this is my first time getting murdered, I say... research."
Steve needs a new car and stumbles upon a beautiful, cherry red 1967 Chevy Impala. The dealer says it's not for sale, but Steve uses some of that signature Harrington charm to talk him into it. Sweet new ride, what could go wrong?
Then the lights start flickering. The radio comes on by itself, playing God-awful music even with the volume turned down. When the car starts speaking to him, Steve worries he's going crazy.
With help from his friends, Steve begins to investigate what, or who, is possessing his car and find out the truth about what happened.
Robin wants to hold a séance; the voice wants revenge.
Steve just wants a car that isn't going to talk back.

Summary
“You’re dead. Are you an idiot? Go back to being dead.”
“Huh,” Optimus Prime – who is very much not dead – looks at Megatron like he’s the one being unreasonable. As if Megatron is the one who’s supposed to be dead and who's supposed to stay dead instead of haunting him like some…like a–
“Ghost,” Not Dead Prime says. “I think I’m a ghost.”
.
.
or: Optimus Prime played hero too hard and died saving Cybertron, trusting Megatron to pick up the pieces of their struggling people and lead them all into the future. Megatron thinks it'd be Pits of a lot easier without said Idiot Prime walking through his walls and knocking shit off his desk and asking, "hey, being dead is boring, mind saving the world and bringing me back to life?" -

Summary
The sky and earth peel away from one another like torn paper. The world splits open before him, and for the first time, he sees the space between things, the raw seam where existence frays.
A chasm yawns wide and trembling. The two halves of reality hover inches apart: a breath here, a lifetime there.
He skids to the edge, arms windmilling, gravity pulling him toward that impossible gap. He stares down into it and feels the world tilt.
Then, movement.
Blue.
OR
Only Lance can see Keith. That’s fine, until it isn’t.
A fight, a breath, a heartbeat between worlds. Keith lingers where he shouldn’t, and Lance is the only one who can reach him. Neither of them knows how to fix it… or if they even want to.

Summary
Tucker awoke on New Year’s Day with Geoff’s name heavy on his tongue, the blond boy’s face burned into his memory, the cold of the other boy’s lips against his still lingering. He lay in bed long after the sun rose, staring at the cracked ceiling of his apartment, trying to make sense of everything that happened the previous night. He’d kissed Geoff, and, for just a second, it felt like something new, something bright, something right.
But then he was gone.
Which only made Tucker more determined than ever to find out where and why.
---------
From the moment their eyes meet, on a late October night in a basement show in New Brunswick, Geoff and Tucker can feel the connect burning between them. But Geoff's not sharing everything. And, suddenly, Tucker finds himself unable to sleep or think as the web continues to weave around him.

Summary
Dean Winchester is a ghost.
He doesn't like to think about how he became a ghost (in fact, he can't really remember it beyond blood-soaked flashes of horror) but he has his friends to keep his mind off of things. Too bad that all his friends are ghosts, but they live in relative peace in an abandoned mansion in Maine. But their hard-won peace comes to an end when their house is sold and Castiel Novak, along with his niece Claire, move in.
Dean tries to navigate his attraction to Castiel--attraction made all the worse because he can't even touch Castiel. But further investigation reveals that Castiel is hiding secrets--dangerous secrets. He and Claire are hunted, and danger constantly presses in around them from all sides. Being a ghost is no guarantee of safety in this world, and when Claire and Castiel's past finally catches up with them, it will bring them all face to face with the greatest evil of all--and one that might even be linked to Dean's own past. -

Summary
Your ghost is a man, all sharp angles, hollow‑eyed, gaunt in the way you’d expect a corpse to be. A scientist, by the look of the white lab coat fastened all the way up. He studies you the way someone would examine a specimen: with a curiosity so intent it feels invasive. Then he blinks, and all that interest evanesces, leaving only a cold, almost bureaucratic shrewdness in his vacant eyes.
[...]
A ghost who wants to be alive. A human who wants nothing. Between them, a house that remembers too much.

Summary
Jinx Lane is happy to have a house of her own.
Sure, her sister's girlfriend who she hates and is convinced has replaced her in Vi's life bought it for her. But hey, this was the chance for Jinx to make a new start and escape Vi's shadow. Jinx was trying to make the best out of her situation. But that was before she begins seeing a blonde girl appear and disappear around her house. She talks and acts strange, she even dresses different. And every time Jinx is around her, her entire body feels cold. Maybe Jinx is losing her mind but being with this girl, Lux Crownguard, makes her feel happier than she has in a long time. Even after finding out that she was dead and had been for centuries.
Jinx is determined to figure out what happened to Lux and to learn more about the beautiful and alluring ghost girl. But curiosity gives way to obsession and Jinx is determined to do whatever it takes for her and Lux to be together forever. Little does she know, that's exactly what Lux wants. For so long, Lux had been alone and waiting for someone to see her. Now that she had Jinx in her grasp, Lux didn't plan on letting her go.Series

Summary
“Wait! Why are you calling the police?! I didn’t do anything!” he claims, then looks at her spooked face. “I swear I’m not— uh— dangerous?”
“Are you unsure?!” she squealed. “What the— Holy shit,” she babbled. “You’re a ghost!”
He winces.
“Technically, yes. But like… a very polite one,” the figure continued. “There’s no need to call the police!"
Rumi blinks. Once. Twice. Then she throws the poster tube, and it goes right through him, hits the wall, and bounces off. For some goddamn reason, he flinches anyway.
“Okay! Ow!— well, not ow, but— hey! Unnecessary!”
or,
Rumi’s new apartment came with more than peeling paint and broken lights — it came with a ghost who apologizes when he startles her and flinches when she throws things through him.
Jinu swears he’s harmless. Dead, sure, but polite about it. And as the nights stretch on and the music starts playing again, Rumi begins to wonder if maybe he’s not haunting her at all — maybe he’s what’s been missing.

Summary
The stained glass is lit up by the first light, bright and vivid, casting hues all over the decaying interior like some giant kaleidoscope. It's strange how the stained windows are not destroyed at all. There are some cracks but nothing is smashed. Sykkuno is glad, it's super pretty. He gasps and sighs at the sight, eyes rowing over all the different color spots skating over the broken pews and cold walls. “‘S beautiful. Makes this decaying beast look alive again.” He murmurs softly, melting a little at the beams of colorful light reflecting through the dustmotes flying in the air.
“My favorite sight.” The stranger quietly agrees.
