Ghosts and the Supernatural

[mysid.livejournal.com]

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's ghost.
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. (Update: It's Just Like Heaven.)
And, I know there's one in which Justin died when he was bashed and now haunts Brian. Again, I can't remember the title. (Update: It's Better Now.)
Any other ghost recs?

Irish Folklore:
I know I've read a few QaF fics inspired by Brian's Irish heritage in the direction of Irish folklore. Brian Kinney and the..., for example, is a clever "Brian encounters a leprechaun" tale.
What else can you recommend?

Others:
I see there is a tag here for vampires, and one for zombies, so you don't have to rec anything found under those tags. But if you have anything else to rec, I'll gladly take it!

Update: Several recs are in the comments, but we have all month to make recs before Halloween! Thanks!

Fun request! I love Halloween, so will begin with a couple plain ol' Halloween fics: bigboobedcanuck's Tricks, Treats & Tops (http://bigboobedcanuck.livejournal.com/182593.html) and wren_kt7oz's A Pirate's Tale (http://wren-kt7oz.livejournal.com/26563.html) and her other Halloween fics (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=wren_kt7oz&keyword=Fic:+Halloween&filter=all).

This (http://qafhappy.livejournal.com/172056.html) 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 (http://www.randalls-fiction.com/fiction/forever.php) 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 Men (http://www.randalls-fiction.com/quietmen.php).

There'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 because of circumstances, but I can get through it and my angst-bar isn't set very high. ;) Problem with this one is I don't remember the title or the author. Maybe someone else will.

There's another one that is a Buffy x-over where she & Justin meet in a coffeeshop in NYC and some weird ghosty/vampire-y things happen. Don't remember the title or author of this one, either, but I'll keep thinking.

And the last one I don't remember, lol, is one where Vic's a ghost and he hangs out in the loft, gives Brian advice (maybe. I think) about Justin.

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 (http://wren-kt7oz.livejournal.com/26563.html)--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 (http://www.mags-nificent.com/MSW/Challenge/3A/3Ann6.htm), by SterlingDragonfly on the Moonshadow Tribe.
