Well, this certainly was a story which existed. I am surprised, only that Norman neither died nor became the Green Goblin full-time permanently again, and the "sins" of the Goblin are somehow "destroyed" even though by the end they were a free-floating possession entity capable of passing between the two hosts with a simple head bonk or hand wave.
Which, truth be told, is much less interesting than "Norman is a genuinely mentally ill person with a long history of succumbing to his illness" because while turning the Goblin into a separate entity capable of transferring itself into other hosts is very comics, it's also an easy out for "Peter defeated it with the power of his innate 'being Spider-Man' and it died in midair" as a handwavy solution.
Especially since we know it will never stick permanently. Somehow, at some point, the Goblin will return. At least when it was just part of Norman's illness, it was unpredictably under the surface...
