Dark Shadows: The Lunatic Yarn by Susan Rains/Carey Kasdot
Fandom: Dark Shadows
Pairings/Characters: Barnabas Collins, Julia Hoffman, Elliot Stokes, David Collins, Elizabeth Collins, Roger Collins, Angelique Bouchard Collins, Harry Johnson, Willie Loomis, Maggie Evans
Rating: T
Length: 37,304
Creator Links: archiveofourown.org/users/SusanRains/pseuds/Carey%20Kasdot
Theme: Uncommon settings
Summary: A dumbwaiter system found in the house unleashes a baffling illness which turns pleasant friends into infatuated screwballs. Meanwhile, games with the dumbwaiter bring Hallie and David nights of terror. With the addition of an afghan that roams the house at will and a houseguest no one wants, Collinwood hits the height of mayhem.
Reccer's Notes: You'd be pretty hard put to discover a stranger, more unsettling setting than a dumbwaiter in which an intrepid soul or two ventures to travel. Add to this Halloween rec the inimitable spookiness of the great estate of Collinwood and you've discovered a delightful read with stellar characterizations and the usual undercurrent of Things Unseen in the fandom.

Haunted (Amnesty): Mario & Luigi (series): fanart: sufficient imitation
Title: sufficient imitation
Fandom: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga / Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (somewhat implied in the latter case)
Rating: PG
Content notes: References Cackletta's death from Superstar Saga and that Fawful was there for it, that's.. kinda it, really. Based on an AU where Fawful was a kid during the events of Superstar Saga and Bowser's Inside Story.
Artist notes: After some agonizing over the last couple days of how to go about this theme and characters, I opted not for writing but for art to really get what I feel across.
...Anyhow, this is for the theme of Haunted for the current ongoing Amnesty.
Summary: Fawful and the spirit of Cackletta unknowingly embrace - whilst Fawful wonders if his imitation of Cackletta's cloak will do, in a state of grief.

Summary: Wei Wuxian can see the dead. Weird happenings ensue.
Author’s Notes: I really struggled with putting this back up again (sorry I know I'm a flake) I have a love/hate relationship with it. But here it is.
This is a repost (it's all over the internet in various formats and languages) but it is mine.
I wrote this a looong time ago, before I really had a GREAT understanding of the naming conventions used in the untamed. Some of it might be incorrect.
Reccer's Notes:: Although November’s Mystery & Suspense theme would apply, I’m using Uncommon Settings to shoehorn in this beloved modern-with-magic paranoir fic in time for Halloween; the intrigue-haunted waterfront city of Lotus, patterned after Venice, is very much a character in its own right. (Note that, despite the geographical inspiration, nobody seems to have been whitewashed.)
medium blues has a history as cryptic and elusive as its subject matter: for various reasons (including having been targeted in the fandom’s 2020 cyberbullying scandal) the author—along with this fic—has periodically vanished and resurfaced under a succession of pseudonyms.
