A little incorrect quote set after the courtroom bust. Ray is very much the Boyle to Egon and Cathleen's Peraltiago.

For reference, Cathleen is 34 weeks pregnant with Marie.

Thank you again to @lilysketchingsth for this beautiful work of art! Forever grateful that I came across your blog.

What We May Yet Spend

Fandom: Ghostbusters Pairings: Egon Spengler/Cathleen Paige Spengler, Phoebe Spengler/Melody

"You were falling in love with her... weren't you?"

Phoebe looked back up at her grandmother. Though she tried her best to hide it, she couldn't hide both her confusion towards her grandmother's question and her trepidation of how the older woman would react if she answered "Yes."

So, instead, Phoebe responded with another question. "Why do you ask?"

Cathleen smiled at her.

"The look on your face..." she sat back down on the couch next to Phoebe. "That's the same look that your grandfather would have every time he looked at me."

The storyteller and the mad scientist sharing a flirty moment before they have to get up. Set a little before the events of the first movie. I might write a little drabble based on this picture.

What Else is There to Do When You're Sick on Valentine's Day?

Word Count: 598

Warnings: Sinus infection, sick character

Fandom: Ghostbusters

Pairings: Egon Spengler x Cathleen Paige Spengler

Did I write this while dealing with a sinus infection of my own? Yes.

Did I write the end bit because I want to imagine what it would be like to meet Jim Henson? Yes.

Enjoy!

————————

Valentine's Day 1988

Cathleen coughed into her elbow, wincing at the feeling deep in her throat. She reached for her glass of water and took a sip; the cold water helped a bit, but not by much. And it still hurt to swallow.

Yesterday, she had hoped that her sinuses would clear up and her throat would stop hurting. But, then again, she had only started her antibiotic two days before, and she had woken up with a sore throat on Wednesday.

She grabbed another tissue to blow her nose as she saw Egon coming in from the kitchen with her dinner-- a bowl of her favorite stew with a plate of saltines on the side. She tightly wrapped her blanket around her as she tried to adjust herself to a sitting position. She considered taking another bath, even if she had taken one earlier that morning.

"Here you go-- careful," Egon advised as he handed the tray to her.

"Thank you," she rasped out.

Immediately, Cathleen took a saltine and dipped it into the stew. The heat soothing on her throat, and she needed her voice to recover as soon as possible.

Egon brushed a few locks of her hair out of her eyes; her hair had become a complete rat's nest in the last couple of days. And the dark circles under her eyes didn't need to confirm to him the rough time that she had getting to sleep. She had to take two Benadryl along with her night dose of antibiotic to knock herself out at night. Her nose was red and irritated, even though he had picked up the tissues with lotion in them. He hated seeing her so miserable.

Cathleen sighed as much as she could with her stuffed-up nose. Egon had sent Callie to stay with Ray because she had been so excited to spend the night at his place while her parents enjoyed Valentine's Day. Besides, Cathleen definitely deserved a kid-free night.

She was a bit relieved when Egon was so insistent that they cancel their Valentine's Day plans and stayed home that night. She felt too woozy and feverish to put on makeup and play dress-up (as much as she loved that). Staying out past midnight did not sound very appealing when she only seemed to be getting three hours of sleep.

Her stomach let out a growl that sounded as pathetic as she felt as she scooped up more of her stew with a cracker. "Egon, I'm sorry that we couldn't go out tonight."

"I don't mind," he assured her. "Even if you weren't sick, I would've been happy to just stay in. I'm just sorry that you're not feeling well."

"Not as sorry as me," Cathleen told him. "I feel like shit."

She held up a finger before grabbing another tissue and sneezing loudly into it, then blowing her nose again. She took another sip of water. She sneezed two more times before looking blearily at her husband.

"You can't possibly find me attractive right now," she said.

"Of course I do," Egon told her. "Cath, you're beautiful, even when you're covered in our daughter's vomit."

She smiled. "That's sweet to hear-- but, also, a little gross."

After Cathleen finished her dinner and Egon washed the dishes, the two of them snuggled on the couch, watching Muppets Take Manhattan.

"Wasn't it nice of Jim Henson to send us this advance copy after we ran into him filming that summer?" Cathleen asked.

Egon smiled. "Cath, we didn't just run into him-- you actively sought out where they were filming."

Egon and Dana Friendship Headcanons

Okay, I’m so happy to see that my post offering Egon and Dana friendship headcanons gained enough interest, so... enjoy! It’s all under the cut.

The gang lets Dana (and Louis) crash at the firehouse when the Gozer incident leads to the subsequent demolition of the building on Central Park West.

Dana suffers a lot from night terrors, and not wanting to bother Peter, leaves the room to clear her head and sees Egon working in the lab late one night.

Egon and Dana get to talking, and he ends up opening up to her about the loss of his wife, as well as the custody of his daughter Callie.

Dana continues to struggle with the trauma of her experience, and Egon offers to let her and Peter spend a few days at his and Cathleen’s old lake house upstate.

When Dana and Peter’s relationship begins to fall apart, Egon makes it very clear that he will not be their “go-between,” which Dana is able to accept.

About a year after Dana and Peter break up, she begins dating Andre Wallance.

Even if he’s rubbed the wrong way by Andre, Egon is supportive of Dana’s new relationship-- she’s even able to convince Andre to let Egon be one of his groomsmen.

About halfway through Dana’s pregnancy, Andre auditioned for a traveling orchestra and was accepted.

As Andre wasn’t there for Oscar’s birth, Egon ended up being Dana’s Lamaze partner.

When Oscar was only a few weeks old, Andre returned from the tour, but told Dana that he was scouted by the manager of an orchestra in London.

Not wanting to uproot her life after just having a baby, on top of the other issues that they were facing, Dana filed for divorce.

She dealt with some pretty rough postpartum depression, but Egon always came through to help her.

It was rough for him, as Callie’s mother, Cathleen, also struggled with postpartum depression after Callie’s birth.

After defeating Vigo, Egon tries to call Callie, but his mother-in-law lies to him and says that Callie doesn’t want to talk to him, and Dana comforts him.

When Egon begins claiming that Gozer will return, it leads to Dana having a panic attack, which Peter verbally castrates him over.

The night before Egon leaves for Summerville, Dana visits him and he apologizes like he had never apologized before.

She forgives him and expresses concern for his increasingly erratic behavior.

He again apologizes and says goodbye to her.

Years later, in 2021, Dana is surprised when Janine Melnitz shows up at her and Peter’s door.

Janine tells her that Egon died, and that he was right all along about Gozer returning.

The two are able to convince the three remaining Ghostbusters to go to Summerville (though Ray needs a little more push), but Dana remains in New York.

A week in between the end of the film and the mid-credits scene of her and Peter, Dana and Oscar go to Summerville together.

Egon’s ghost shows up and they both tell them about all that he missed in the past thirty years.

Egon shares one final hug with his surrogate sister and nephew before he returns to his place in the afterlife.

I just got an idea for an OUAT AU.

Egon and Cathleen as Charming and Snow, Callie as Emma, Trevor and Phoebe sharing the role of Henry, and Roberta (an OC of mine and Peck's daughter) as Regina.

I just need to figure out if it's a straightfoward AU of the show (i.e. fairytale characters displaced in the real world) or if I mix it with Ghostbusters lore.

And I need to actually write it... after I write all the shit that I'm supposed to write.

I'm impatient, so does anyone want to hear any Egon and Cathleen during her pregnancies headcanons?

*no one raises their hands* Okay, here we go... It's all under the cut.

As I've brought up before, Egon and Cathleen struggled to conceive, and Cathleen suffered a second-trimester miscarriage.

After some time to heal and take a break (as well as Cathleen's struggles with alcoholism), Cathleen becomes pregnant with Callie.

They're living in Cambridge at the time, as Egon is studying at MIT, so Cathleen rushes to the campus to tell Egon as soon as her doctor confirms it.

Egon is just... so happy. But he's also very scared, as he's afraid what a second miscarriage or a stillbirth would do to Cathleen, as well as losing another baby.

Cathleen deals with a lot of morning sickness during the first trimester and well into her fourth month. Egon tries various cures that he's either read about or learned from his mother and his sister-in-law, but the most that Cathleen can keep down are water and saltines.

Doctors' appointments are always a source of anxiety for the both of them, but they're always relieved when they hear their baby's heartbeat.

Cathleen steals a lot of Egon's clothes as she gets bigger. By her ninth month, she's usually curled up in bed with a pillow between her legs and swimming in his MIT sweatshirt.

They both KNOW that the baby's a girl, but they still refer to the baby in a gender neutral way throughout the pregnancy.

You KNOW that Egon goes deep into researching everything there is to know about pregnancy. He also keeps logs of Cathleen's symptoms and the size of her growing belly.

He reads about bonding with the baby while they're still in the womb, and talks to the belly before he leaves for the day and when he comes home. He reads aloud to the baby, and Cathleen plays music.

Cathleen mostly craves sweets during her pregnancy, with her favorite being her mother-in-law's recipe for brownies.

Cathleen is a week or two overdue when she finally goes into labor. As she and Egon are leaving for the hospital, her water breaks in the car. Labor is long and grueling, but it's all worth it in the end when Callie Violet Spengler is born.

Cathleen deals with some pretty rough postpartum depression for the first few months of Callie's life. She's convinced that Callie hates her, that Callie loves Egon more than her, and that she's a terrible mother. Thankfully, she has a good support system (especially since she went no contact with her side of the family) and is able to develop healthier coping mechanisms.

In the Cathleen Lives AU, Marie is a bit of a surprise.

Cathleen is 44, not to mention Callie was the only child that she had carried to term up to that point, so she and Egon assumed that their childbearing days were behind them.

So imagine how shocked Cathleen is when her doctor tells that it's not early menopause, she's pregnant.

It takes about a day for her to let it sink in before she tells Egon.

While Egon is just as shocked as her, he is very happy.

Callie, who is nearing her ninth birthday, is excited about the idea of a little brother or sister, which relieves her parents.

Surprisingly, despite being an older mother, this pregnancy seems to go off without a hitch. I mean, she still has awful morning sickness, but there's no dire health concerns.

During the events of Ghostbusters II, Cathleen is very close to her due date.

Egon is pretty concerned with her being out in the field, but she insists that she can take care of herself.

Eventually, the stress of being wrongfully committed and learning that Callie followed Dana to the museum is a factor in sending her into labor, and she has contractions throughout the night.

After Vigo's defeat, her water breaks and she confesses to Egon that she tried to hide that she was in labor.

While Egon is upset that she didn't tell him, that is quickly swept away by excitement and happiness.

An ambulance is waiting outside to take Cathleen to the hospital, and by the time they arrive, she's fully dilated.

Marie Rae Spengler is born half-past midnight on New Year's Day.

I'm mostly a Janegon fan, but your OC ideas are sweet, I specially like the fact that Cathleen is a storyteller.

Have you watched the series The Nanny?

There is an episode where Mr Maxwell Chefield (Charles Shaugnessy) is about to marry the titular Nanny, Mrs Fran Fine (Fran Drescher), and there is a sweet scene where he talks to the spirit of his deceased wife and she blesses his new marriage, saying that, from the afterlife, she sent Fran to his life to bring joy for him and the kids.

In the series, is also shown that while married to Maxwell and having adopted his children, Fran never asks them to forget his first wife their birth mom. When the children miss the original Mrs Sheffield, Fran watches a video tape recording of her with them, and also dedicates jewish prayers to her memory.

In an AU where Egon keeps custody of Callie and happily marries Janine after proccessing the grief for the death of Cathleen, could you envision a similar dinamic between them?

(Sorry that this took me so long to answer)

Thank you so much! I like Janegon, too, but I'll admit that I've kinda grown attached to Cathleen, so I've gotten focused on my AU where Cathleen lives. But I did make a Janegon playlist that you can listen to here.

I got the idea of Egon falling in love with a storyteller from the musical, Twisted: The Untold Story of a Royal Vizier. That musical in general made me just love with the idea of a STEM geek and a literature geek finding love together.

Oh, I love The Nanny! I have a lot of memories of watching reruns of it on TV Land on Saturday mornings back in second and third grade, and then watching my recording of the episode about Maggie's wedding when I was home sick one day. I was recently able to get the complete series boxset from a Half-Price Books store during a vacation earlier this month.

This ask actually helped me create this AU, as I always have considered what my take on "Egon keeps custody of Callie and ends up with Janine" would be.

(Not-so-brief summary under the cut)

As Cathleen died when Callie was only a year old, Callie can't remember her mother. She knows her from photos, home movies, and stories that her father and her uncles tell her, though. Callie is a few months away from her fourth birthday when the Ghostbusters team is first formed and Janine is hired to work as their receptionist. One of the things that attracts Janine to Egon is seeing how, underneath his reserved and stoic exterior, he's a devoted father to Callie. Janine connects with Callie, who immediately imprints on Janine like a baby duck.

Egon slowly opens up to her about how he struggled adjusting to life as a single parent after Cathleen's death, and the tense custody battle between him and Cathleen's parents. Their friendship builds into a romantic relationship, and they end up marrying in 1986.

The only time that Callie ever felt insecure regarding Janine's love for her was after the birth of her half-sister, Lily Esther Spengler, in 1987. She began to feel now that Janine had a child that was biologically hers, then she wouldn't be as loved as she was before. Janine took her aside and reassured her that she loved Callie. Three years later, Janine and Egon welcomed a third daughter, Vanessa Ruth.

After the move to Summerville, as in my Cathleen Lives 'verse, Callie's main grudge with her father is that he uprooted her life over something that may or may not happen, and burned every bridge he had when no one but Janine believed him. Callie ran off to her maternal grandparents' new home in Chicago and refused to return home. She cuts off contact with her father and half-sisters, but only occasionally speaks with Janine over the phone.

Following the defeat of Gozer (I haven't decided whether it's Callie, Lily, or Vanessa who gets possessed by Zuul in this 'verse), the surviving members of the Spengler family reconcile.
