Why this must be read:
Real Ghostbusters fandom allows a skilled author to play with many themes. And in this fast-paced story, play with themes Singe certainly does. She somehow manages to mix religion, faith, superstition, the team bond (including Janine), romance, horror, and humor all into one incredible adventure.
Singe's own warning states: "This fic contains violent religious imagery but nothing gratuitous. PG-13 for violence, language, and some sexuality." Do pay attention if you are likely to be squicked and/or offended by "violent religious imagery" as she's not kidding.

Rolling his eyes and raising his voice for the benefit of the mob and the press, (a battle of good versus evil in a church being a big deal for a slow news week) Peter addressed them, "Listen up! Let me tell you all exactly what's going on. Inside your church is a Class Seven entity. Class Sevens are paranormal parasites that feed off human energy and emotions. Sometimes human flesh.” The crowd winced. “A demon, basically. We've labeled this sort of situation a Theo-siege. A demon storms into a church or temple or other place of worship and holds the sacred building hostage. This creates a lot of attention, a lot of spiritual turmoil, which is a hell of a strong vintage for a demon, and it feeds on the people's fear and rage until it's driven away or the building is burned down or abandoned."
Frank looked at his historic church in terror.
Peter went on. "I mean why go hunting when you can just look ugly and have hundreds of the pious faithful come to you and be destroyed trying to exorcise you? Good eatin'."
"FoRNIcATOR!!"
"Me or the Zedd-man here?!" Peter shouted back, pointing at a mortified Winston.
"ThOU SInFUL LuSTFul FreaKFREakFREAK! DESpisED By aLL HOLY CREAtureS!!"
"Oh, he means Egon. Sorry, Winston."
***
In the interest of fair disclosure, I beta'ed this story, way-back-when, and still find it one of the best in the fandom. Is it any surprise that Singe is now attempting a professional writing career?
Go. Now. Read. Enjoy. And don't forget to feed the author!

And Singe's dialogue/banter was great.
