Holy SHIT I Love This Au

Holy SHIT I love this au

Bird you’ve created a monster out of me (positive)

Imagine how sad and distressed Peter was when was thrown through the portal though- at least in some of my headcanons, Peter and Egon bonded and knew each other first (maybe in this version, since they’re not brothers like the Stan twins they’d be childhood friends who swore on researching and traveling the world together) so seeing him just… disappear like that has to hurt..

Hey Bird, it’s Sweater with another question Omg For Ghostfalls, would Peter and Egon argue as much as Stan and Ford did? And would the whole “Grammar, Stanley” situation (aka the fight at the Cipher Wheel) and the portal fight happen?

Idk, I’m just curious if it would be similar to the canon gravity falls, where a fight ended up with Egon thrown into another dimension… and Peter faking his death and switching identities…

GRAAAA I LOVE YOUR QUESTIONSSS

And I think yes! Now I know they don't exactly fight in the movies, but I can imagine them bickering. (I might be mixing up my memories but for some reason I have the memory of the "bought to kick this guys butt ill post later," and "nvm I got demolished" meme and it was Peter and Egon... am I thinking of the Reagan and Sans thing??)

Anyways...

Wow I never explained who the ghostbusters actually are in this au... okay okay so instead of eventually going into the business of ghostbusting, they are still at the college with their research lab, still young and college buddies. (I think this would include Winston too! I don't want him to be a later addition) Anyways, at some point Egon discovers something insane, a place with so much strange paranormal and werid energy. He goes to explore it before the others and when he actually discover all the stories of strange creatures are real he calls Ray over to do research with him and start building the portal, eventually Gozer starts to show themselves and then the portal incident happens, Ray leaves and... well you know what happened to McGucket... Egon almost finishes the portal but then discovers the truth about gozer, going almost crazy trying to get rid of all trace of the portal. I want to say he goes back to the college and takes all their equipment like in the movies.. but if he's wanting to get rid of the portal he wouldn't need tech? (it would give a good reason for Peter to be mad at him) Anyways Winston won't answer so he calls Peter, who is very confused because they haven't had contact in many years, he sees Egon looking terrible and almost crazy. Egon begs him to help get rid of the journals and trys to explain everything but it's just a bit too complicated for Peter to understand it all. Egon doesn't want to tell him exactly what happened and why he wants to close the portal exactly, only to keep him safe. Peter gets annoyed that he has no idea what's happening and trys to burn the journals because Egon said to get rid of them, but suddenly Egon trys to stop him from getting rid of his research. (I think that's how that happened in the show between Ford and stan) A fight breaks out and one thing to another, Egon stumbles and is thrown into the portal. Leaving Peter in the huge room alone, without the knowledge to get him back, and what he ment with the finals words about a world ending danger...

I don't think Peter would necessarily fake his death and change identitys because it wouldn't make such sense since they don't look alike. But he would definitely turn Egons "Dirt" house into the "Psychic Shack" with the ruse of a tourist attraction that actually supports him financially.

Well actually he might atleast steal his last name just so he can attempt to make the kids think he's their grandpa

Sorry I wrote alot hehe
