Title: five possibilities + one certainty
Fandom: IDW Ghostbusters, and five others in this order: Minecraft (The Aether mod + popular Origins mod), Splatoon, Sonic the Hedgehog, IF (2024) and The Fall Guy (2024).

Rating: PG for the second segment, PG-13 for everything else (see sprawling content notes).

Length: 7887 words

Content notes: Brief description for burn injuries, light body horror (Segment I), possession (Segment III), drunkenness, hinted suicidal thoughts (Segment IV), brief violence (Segment II + V), spoilers for IDW Publishing's Crossing Over and Interdimensional Cross-Rip comic maxi-series, for the Ghostbusters 35th Anniversary mini-series first comic, in addition to tangential spoilers for Splatoon, Sonic Unleashed, IF and The Fall Guy - as well as for a personal AU in Segment VI. Oh, and there's swearing peppered throughout.

Author notes: This can be considered a sort of denouement for an AU I'm writing another thing for during Amnesty 78 here - and a sort of celebration of my autumnal / summer writings I did off-site when I first got struck with the Ghostbusters brainrot.

Also, I really didn't mean to write almost 8000 words for this, good lord. I hope it's not too much trouble to read.. I did my absolute best to keep stuff coherent between segments.

(Patch notes: Changed title slightly to show the main two challenges used. Sorry about that, mods.)

Written for: Five Things + Variation (all segments), Anywhere but Here + Travel (Segment I), Voice + Influences (Segment II), Shadow + Coincidence (Segment III), Breakdown + Confession (Segment IV), Teamwork + Fight (Segment V), Looking Back (Segment VI). All are for Amnesty 78.

Summary: Five things other Egon Spenglers have done across the multiverse, and one Egon Spengler too painfully aware of them all.
