FROM EDEN !
THE GOOD PLACE
⁺˚⋆｡°✩₊
AT LAST, BETH ARDON CAN RELAX — THE CATCH IS THAT SHE HAD TO DIE TO DO IT.
Informed by an elderly gentleman named Michael, she learns that she is indeed in her afterlife. Once she processes the shock of her untimely death, Beth finds that there is a lot to enjoy about this arrangement. She has her almost-perfect home, surrounded by compassionate and moral people, one of which is her dreamy, universe-approved soulmate. Jackpot! What's not to love?
It certainly beats her life on Earth. Beth does not miss the days of her small flat in a commuter town near London with noisy neighbours. Nor does she miss her dream-crushing job selling properties she can't afford to live in. Upon reflection, she could do without the occasional reunions with her brother who has his life completely together, not to mention the rest of her splintered family. She can't miss her car, because that broke down long ago, and there was certainly no soulmate-equivalent love of her life to hold her hand through the ups and downs... all this time, Beth has gotten by carrying it all on her own.
But not anymore. Because now, she is safe and sound in the Good Place. That should be a good thing... shouldn't it?
Then again, this is Beth Ardon — and things never run smoothly when it's her fate involved.

FOREWORD
I'm soooo excited for this fic! I have discovered that I actually really like writing fics for sitcoms, and The Good Place is one of my favourites, not only for being hilarious but also the subject matter it tackles. An incredible show from beginning to end. I just wish there were more fics on here for TGP, because I only found one a couple years ago and then it disappeared. This also might be my first fic (at the time of publishing) that features the main couple as an OCxOC pairing? Exciting stuff!
Prepare yourself for lots of chaos, crazy plot twists (had to be deliberately vague in the synopsis because of this) and maybe even some tears... this is going to be a wild ride. But for now, I hope you enjoy reading. Take it sleazy.
