Question for the Ghosts (US) Fandom:
What the hell happens to Crash after 2x19?
I'm re-watching S2 right now and he just sort of pops up after being missing since the pilot (apart from his headless body just walking by in an episode) and isn't in the rest of S2, nor is he in S3.
Where did he vanish off to?

Can someone make some x reader/oc fics about him? I've looked and I'm honestly waiting to see a virtual tumbleweed roll across the screen because of how little Rayner content there is

New Possible Fic Idea
I'm thinking of writing a CSI fic based on the 3 teachers (2 of which I had as teachers, but the 3rd was arrested before I had his class) that were arrested while I was in middle school and junior high (3 teachers arrested for similar crimes in the span of 3 years...)

Ghostbusters: Soul Resurgence
Tumblr media
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Chapter 3
Chapter 4! The long awaited return of Louis Tully! And unfortunately...Walter Peck. The return of Mayor Dickless can only make matters worse for the Ghostbusters. As always, hope you enjoy and a big thank you to @phantomoftheparadise0002 for beta-reading this!
Summary: When the spirit of Sumerian sorceress Ahassunu, daughter of Vigo, possesses Alexis, the Ghostbusters must band together to determine the fate of the world
TW: Some language
“Mr. Mayor!” The reporter’s voices seemed to blend together as they all tried to get his attention.
“Yes, you.” Walter Peck relented, pointing to a random man in the second row. 
“What can you say about the tragedy that befell New York yesterday evening?”
Peck sighed. “For the past 41 years, I've been trying, albeit unsuccessfully, to shut down an organization that has fed off the hysteria that they themselves have caused the great city of New York. For years, they've plagued this city with faux spirits and used them as justification for their destruction of this city. Now they have killed more than 100 of our citizens. Good, innocent men, women, and children slaughtered in the streets of the city they called home. To this, I say, no more!” He looked directly at the camera. “I, Mayor Walter Peck, vow that today…is the beginning of the end for the Ghostbusters.”
Not a sound came from the Firehouse as the Ghostbusters sat at the table in the break room.
Ray's breathing was still labored as tears continued to stream down his face. First Egon, now Venkman. 2 of his dearest friends had died doing something he'd dragged them into. 
As if sensing his thoughts, Winston placed a hand on Ray’s shoulder. “It wasn't your fault, Ray.” He said, trying to comfort his friend. 
Shrugging his hand off with a scoff, he gave Winston a look as if to say “don't”. 
“Yes. It is.” He grumbled, standing up. “I brought Venkman and Spengler into this. They're both dead because of me.”
The rest of the group watched as Winston stood up, following Ray. 
“Ray!” Winston shouted, continuing after his friend.
Stopping on the landing of the ground floor, Ray turned back to face Winston. 
“What do you want me to say, Z?” He asked, furious. “That I played no part in what happened to Spengler and Venkman? Because I did! I'm the one who got us all interested in the paranormal! I'm the reason they're dead! If we hadn't created the Ghostbusters, they would still be here and Alex-” 
He stopped as a fresh wave of guilt and tears washed over him.
Taking a deep breath, he began to speak again. “I'm the reason we lost Spengler and Venkman. And I could very well be the reason we lose Alex too.”
Just as Winston was about to speak, a knock echoed through the Firehouse. 
Opening the door, Ray was met with a man in a suit, holding a piece of paper. 
“Dr. Raymond Stantz?” He asked. 
Ray nodded. “Yes.”
The man handed him the paper and turned back to his car. 
“What was that?” Phoebe asked, coming down the stairs, followed by the rest of the team. 
As Ray read over the document, he felt a red-hot anger build up within him. Looking back up at the group, he scoffed. “Dickless is suing us.”
Ray rubbed his temples as the lawyer for the persecution continued to ramble on. As he finished, the judge turned to Ray. 
"Dr. Raymond Stantz, do you have anything to say in your defense?"
Ray sighed. "Don't talk to me. Talk to my attorney." 
Standing up, Louis stated proudly, "And that's me!" Taking a breath, he questioned, "Your honor, may I address the court?" The judge nodded. 
Clearing his throat, he began to speak, pacing about the room.
"Your honor, in this lawsuit, Mayor Peck has accused my clients of creating faux spirits for the past 41 years. How would they have done so? To even be able to purchase the firehouse they use as a headquarters, Dr. Stantz had to take out a 3rd mortgage on his family home, which was seized by the bank when he couldn't repay his loan. How could they possibly have come up with enough money to obtain the supplies they would use to create these "faux spirits" Mayor Peck references? Also, how could they have created the spirit reported in the New York Library before the Ghostbusters had even been formed?"
As Louis went on, Ray and Winston kept a trained eye on the jury, who seemed to be hanging on his every word.
Some time later, it was time for the jury to give their decision. 
"Will the foreman of the jury please rise." The judge ordered. 
A young woman stood up, looking slightly nervous. 
"And what is your verdict, Ms. Foreman?"
"Based on the evidence presented here today, we the jury have found the defendants not guilty." 
"Good job in there today, Louis." Ray congratulated.
"Thanks." Louis said, his signature goofy smile appearing. "I was sorry to hear about what happened to Venkman." His smile dropped as Ray nodded solemnly. "So," he started hesitantly, "what's gonna happen with Alex? I mean, you guys said she was possessed right?" 
Ray nodded again as Winston came to stand next to Ray, acknowledging Louis with a nod. 
"Well, you could try that mood slime stuff again. Worked like a charm on that Vigo guy." Louis suggested.
Just then, a light bulb went off in Ray's head. As he ran towards his bike, he yelled to Winston over his shoulder, "Call Lars and tell him I'll meet him at the Paranormal Research Center in 20 minutes!"

Ghostbusters: Soul Resurgence
Tumblr media
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Chapter 3! This chapter's gonna be a bit more exciting than the last 2. We're also getting a new character! Once again, hope you guys enjoy and as always, a big thank you to @phantomoftheparadise0002 for beta-reading this!
Summary: When the spirit of Sumerian sorceress Ahassunu, daughter of Vigo, possesses Alexis, the Ghostbusters must band together to determine the fate of the world
TW: Some language, paranormal violence, major character death (don't hate me)
Translation for Sumerian:
Ma me nekel, ma su petu inu sessu kunkkum, ma annitu, rabum girabum. Ma inu utu emu salmu kima labasu, ma ina nanna emu kima saleme. Ma inu tamtu samsum isatum ma inu elenu maqatu:
And I looked, and he opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake. And the sun became as black as sack cloth, and the moon became as blood.
Ina nabu sina basu daku…dayyanum suluppu:
The prophecy to be fulfilled...judgment day
Alka:
Come
Taking another sip from his drink, Elis sighed, pulling out his phone. Jumping as it began to ring, he quickly answered.
“Hey, Ray.” He sighed again. “I was just about to call you. Do you have any idea where Alex is? I've called her five times already.” He froze, hearing Ray inform him about what had been going on. Quickly paying his tab, Elis raced to his car.
Arriving at the Firehouse, Elis immediately went inside, causing everyone to stop mid-movement. “What the hell happened?!” He shouted. “One minute I'm sitting in a bar, thinking my girlfriend of 3 years somehow forgot our anniversary, and the next I'm being told she's been possessed by some ghost and is going around blowing up buildings around New York.”
“Dr. Cristiano,” Ray said in an attempt to calm Elis’ nerves, “we have everything under control.” He sent him a reassuring smile.
“Under control? What do you mean?” Elis could feel his heart beginning to race.
Heaving his pack into the Ecto-1, Ray explained, “We’ll restrain her using our packs while Phoebe and Lars fire up the PSD-”
“PSD?” Elis asked, feeling lost.
“Portable Separation Device. All admit, it's not a very snappy name but-”
“Separation device?!” Elis nearly screamed. “What the hell are you going to do to her?!”
Ray sighed, putting a hand on the young man’s shoulder in an attempt to calm his ever increasing anxiety. “To even have a chance at saving Alex, we would need to separate the spirit from her.”
Elis nodded. “So, it’s safe, right? You’ve used this thing before?”
The look on Ray’s face was enough to cause Elis’ anxiety to return three-fold.
"My God, you haven’t even tested it, have you?!” His eyes were wide with fear.
“Well, no-” Ray began, not wanting to lie to him.
Quickly pulling his shoulder from the older man’s grasp, Elis’ hands flew to his hair, frantically running through the short strands. Blinking tears from his eyes, he asked, “So, so you have no idea if this thing will end up killing her?” He whimpered.
“No.” Ray admitted, no longer able to maintain eye contact.
The pained whimper that left Elis shattered the hearts of the team as they stood, stock still, only Janine going to comfort him.
“We’re gonna get her back.” She soothed, running a hand up and down his back as his tears dampened her jumpsuit. Turning back to the rest of the Ghostbusters, her gaze switching from one to another until it landed on Ray, who’s eyes now glistened with fresh, unshed tears. “Fight like hell and bring her back.” She commanded, voice faltering slightly.
Ray nodded, heading towards his bike as the rest headed to the Ecto.
The street had become complete chaos. People had abandoned their cars in the middle of the street and had begun to run in an effort to survive.
“Alka.” Alex commanded, her voice echoing in their heads.
The commotion ceased as the crowd turned and followed the order they’d been given. Slowly lowering herself to the ground, she began to speak.
“Ma me nekel, ma su petu inu sessu kunkkum, ma annitu, rabum girabum. Ma ina utu emu salmu kima labasu, ma ina nanna emu kima saleme. Ma ina tamtu samsum isatum ma ina elenu maqatu.” Looking out at the crowd, she smirked, enjoying that she had 100s under her control. “Ina nabu sina basu daku…dayyanum suluppu.”
“Dayyanum suluppu.” The crowd repeated.
With a raise of he hands, the souls of the crowd fled their bodies, transferring their life-force to Alex. Just as the ritual had finished, the siren of the Ecto-1 could be heard approaching fast. Watching as the car screeched to a stop a few blocks away, Alex became intrigued.
Firing up their packs, they created a barrier between Alex and the Ecto, where Phoebe and Lars continued to work on the PSD.
Stepping to the front of the group, Ray began to speak.
“Alexis!” He commanded.
Her sneer turned to him, slowly morphing to a smirk.
“In the name of the city, county, and state of New York, I command you under the National Invasive Species Act to depart this world immediately and return to your place of origin or to the nearest parallel dimension.”
This time, there were no snide remarks from Peter. No jokes. Each member of the Ghostbusters knew the severity of the situation. The power that this spirit had was unlike anything they’d seen before. Not in Garraka. Not in Vigo. Not even in Gozer.
Alex’s smirk grew as she began to levitate.
“Light ‘em up on 3! 1! 2!”
Before Ray had even finished the countdown, Peter had fired his pack.
The group stared in shock as, with a wave of her hand, Alex froze the proton stream in place.
The world went silent, seemingly moving in slow motion as she curled the stream back towards Peter.
Before anyone could react, a strangled noise left him as the white-hot energy stream ran through his chest.
“Venkman!” Ray shouted, catching him in his arms as Winston shut off the stream. Applying pressure to the wound in a vain attempt to save his friend, he watched through tear clouded eyes as Alex watched with a malicious glint in her eyes before flying off.

Ghostbusters: Soul Resurgence
Tumblr media
Chapter 2! I hope you guys are liking this story! If you haven't read it already, chapter 1 can be found here. As always, a big thank you to @phantomoftheparadise0002 for beta-reading this!
Summary: When the spirit of Sumerian sorceress Ahassunu, daughter of Vigo, possesses Alexis, the Ghostbusters must band together to determine the fate of the world
TW: Some language
Ray let out a deep sigh, blinking the tears from his eyes as the group around him continued to talk. 
“Maybe her phone died! I don't know!” Gary's frantic voice arose from the crowd. 
“Just stop with the dumb ideas, alright.” Peter said, holding up a hand to silence Gary. 
“He's just trying to be helpful.” Callie stated calmly, trying to diffuse the tension in the room. 
“Yeah, well, he's not.” Peter retorted. 
Letting out a groan, Winston decided to put an end to this. “Alright, that's enough!” He shouted. “We can't be at each other's throat right now when Alex is out there somewhere.” Seeing Ray's reaction to his words, he added, “And we will find her and bring her home.”
As he finished, there was a knock at the firehouse door. 
Pushing past everyone, Ray headed for the door, Peter not far behind. Opening the door, the group was met with the solemn face of the chief of police.
“Evening, Dr. Stantz. Dr. Venkman.” He nodded.
Nodding back and putting on a brave face, Ray responded, “Evening, officer. Any word on Alex?”
“You see, Dr. Stantz, that’s what I wanted to speak with you about.”
His words spread over the group like the first frozen wind of winter. The only noise in the Firehouse was the pained cry that left Janine, which was quickly silenced by Winston pulling her to him. 
Ray took a deep breath, preparing himself for the worst. Over his shoulder, he saw Peter’s face quickly turn expressionless. 
“If I wasn’t talking to a former Ghostbuster, I wouldn’t be too sure how to explain.”
“Well,” Peter encouraged, a strained fake smile on his face, “do your best.”
Letting out a breath, the officer began, “Well, there have been some reports regarding Alex. But they aren’t what we usually receive regarding a missing person.”
“What the hell’s that supposed to mean?” Winston asked, becoming angry at the officer’s stalling. 
“If I may?” The officer asked, holding up a thumb drive and motioning to the computer that sat on Janine’s desk. 
Janine nodded, wiping her tear-stained cheeks as she went to the computer and logged in.
Pulling up the files, the officer stood back as he clicked on the first.
Crowding around the computer, the team watched in confusion and horror as they saw a being obliterate buildings with a single blast from their hand, gasping when a face came into view.
“Tha, b, b, that’s-” Janine stuttered.
“Alex.” Ray finished, his tone exuding nothing but seriousness.
The group turned to him in shock.
“But how?” Gary asked. “It’s physically impossible for a human being to do something like that with their bare hands.”
“Possession, Mr. Grooberson. Plain and simple.” Ray stated matter of factly. “Just before she disappeared, Alex was contacted by Janine, who informed her of a ghost that needed to be taken care of. It’s safe to assume that the ghost she was going to capture is the one who possessed her.”
“And who would that be?” Peter asked sardonically.
Ray looked down. “I don’t know, Peter.”
Giving him a look, Peter walked away from the group.
“Thank you, officer.” Winston said, shaking the man’s hand. “If it’s at all possible, could you leave these recordings with us?”
The officer nodded.
As he left, Peter ran a hand over his face.
“Possession! That’s the first thing that comes out of your mouth!” He screamed, walking towards a sullen Ray. “Oh, we’re the Ghostbusters so the only plausible explanation for anything is possession.” His tone became mocking.
“Peter.” Dana pleaded as Ray avoided eye contact.
“No! We need an explanation that’s more plausible than possession!”
“And what would that be?” Winston asked, angered, causing Peter to end his assault on Ray. “Psychokinetic slime under the city?! Or how ‘bout a god with her dog henchman who has the power to summon anything we think of to destroy the city?!” He sighed. “Face it, Peter, nothing like this has a plausible explanation.”
Peter made a face, letting out a snort of derision.
“Winston’s right, Peter. And you know it.” Dana placed a hand on Peter’s shoulder.
“This just needs to be something we can fix.” He huffed. “We have no experience in possession.”
“I have an idea.” Phoebe chimed in.
The group turned to face the younger Spengler.
“The machine at the Paranormal Research Center. The one you guys use to separate the ghosts from the objects they're possessing.”
Winston's eyes went wide.
“It was able to separate my spirit from me. It's worth a shot.”
“Absolutely not!” Winston shouted. “Phoebe, that machine nearly killed you.”
“Zedd.”
Winston turned to where Ray had shrunk away to.
“It's the only idea we have.”
“And how do you suppose we do that, Ray? Whatever's got Alex in its grasp just blew up a New York High Rise with a wave of its hand. I doubt it'll volunteer to step into a machine that'll separate it from her.”
“We'll use our proton packs.” Ray said, becoming hopeful.
“We've only used those on apparitions, never on people who've been possessed.” Winston retorted.
“It's worth a shot.” Peter sighed, feeling a bit hopeful himself.
The team looked at one another, waiting for another possible suggestion. When none came, they split off to put on their jumpsuits and grab their gear.

FIC UP NOW! It's titled Ghostbusters: Soul Resurgence!
Might post my first fic here...
I'm pretty on the fence about it but I might work up the courage to post it. It's a Ghostbusters sequel set a few years after Frozen Empire. The MC is an OC I created for Afterlife and Frozen Empire. Her name's Alexis Venkman (Peter's daughter).
Here's a description:
"When the spirit of Sumerian sorceress Ahassunu, daughter of Vigo, possesses Alexis, the Ghostbusters must band together to determine the fate of the world"
Anyway, I might post it, I might chicken out and it'll never see the light of day.
Who knows...

The cast of Frozen Empire was interviewed on CBS Mornings, and this exchange (starting around 6:20) had me cracking up:

Paul Rudd: Dan Aykroyd!
Dan: That's being transferred today! He's giving that to me now, and I'm gonna take that mantle and move on with it.
Interviewer: Own it, Mr. Aykroyd!
