Danny Phantom Fanfic Masterlist
I've been meaning to do this for a bit! Since I've been in the Phandom for 10+ years I've picked up a lot of good fanfics over the years and I think it'd be great to share them again in case people have forgotten/haven't encountered them!
I mostly used Fanfiction.net in my older days so a lot of them will be linked there. I'm also pretty picky when it comes to fics being completed, so expect the ones listed to be bingeable with an ending! And finally, I'm not huge on romance/smut so most of them probably won't involve those genres, I'll point out ones that do. (These are in no particular order).
👻 Happy Reading! 👻
👻 = Regular Fic
🟢 = Alternate Universe Fic
⚔️ = Crossover Fic
💙 = Would Recommend!
💙💙 = One of my Favorites!
💙⚔️💙 Mirrored by Lynse
"As a general rule, diving into unknown swirly vortexes in the Ghost Zone is a bad idea, but this was a time when Danny had no other real choice. Meanwhile, Jake thought he was through dealing with ghosts, but Rotwood, well, he's just getting started."
I posted about this one a few years ago and the author, @ladylynse , said it's also available on AO3. This is by far one of my f a v o r i t e fanfics that I read annually or so! If you're a sucker for American Dragon too, definitely check this one out <3 The characterization of both Jake and Danny, plus watching their friendship grow, always gets me in the feels.
💙👻 Phantom's Sketchbook by AkoyaMizuno
"Mr. Lancer finds himself in an unparalleled situation, he has access to something which can give him incredible insight into the personal workings of Amity Park's local ghost teen hero, Danny Phantom."
It's been a while since I've read this one, but I remember it having a lovely characterization of Lancer plus his mentor relationship with Danny. (I loved this one a great amount back in the day that I, uh, made fanart and turned it in for a school assignment. Which is lost to the ages now 😅)
👻 Darkness by Cordria
"Maddie and Phantom are trapped in the dark. Can they come to an agreement to work together before they both die at the full moon? Part 1 of Illuminations Saga."
I don't quite remember this one but I DO remember Cordria had some absolute bangers. You'll probably see their name a few more times on this list.
💙👻💙 Masks by Cordria
"Sometimes, people hide who they truly are behind masks. This is a short story about the day that Lancer decides enough is enough when it comes to Daniel Fenton. Sequel is 'Plunge'"
When I said Cordria had bangers, THIS is one of them! Another fic that I read annually, this one involves Lancer getting closer and closer to Danny's secret while he's stuck in detention for the weekend. I love love LOVE the characterization of Danny and Lancer in this, another at the top of the favorite list!
👻 Plunge by Cordria (sequel to Masks ^)
"Sequel to 'Masks'. Now that Lancer has learned the truth and has let Danny out of his office, Danny needs to face the next hurdle: his parents."
For some reason, I always forgot to put this on my favorite list so I often missed out on reading it with my annual read of Masks. I remember it being a decent sequel where the Fentons pick up the pieces of Danny's reveal.
👻 Pits by Cordria
"Danny has been captured and thrown into the Pits by Walker to fight for his life. Listen in as he tells his dark, twisted tale of surviving despite the odds. Warning: dark and depressing. Sequel is 'Final Exam'."
Another one I don't fully remember, but it had to be a solid read since it's on my favorites haha! I have a vague sense that it was a little angst/gore-y(?) as the description warns, so just heads up!
👻 Lab Rat by AnneriaWings
"The look on my parents' faces – eager, curious, somewhat hateful – wasn't exactly hard to give away their intentions. I knew what they were going to do to me even before Mom snapped on a pair of rubbery, white latex gloves."
*** This one is definitely a vivisection fanfic with graphic descriptions, so beware that content. Again, haven't read it in a long time but it had satisfied my angst itch back in the day.
👻 Wondering by Phantomrose96
"A continuation to Cordria's starshot #69 "Wondering". Danny's been captured and tortured by his parents, but he refuses to say a word until his psychiatrist starts connecting the dots. Can he risk keeping it a secret any longer?"
*** Another angst, lab experiment-esque fic. There are definite graphic scenes (as warned in the first chapter). I do remember this fic being huge in the 2010s (definitely a staple of the Phandom). The relationships and Danny recovering from his torture were great highlights.
👻 Connections by Lynse
"Maddie knows that the Booo-merang has keyed into Danny, for whatever reason, so what's she to think when she sees it collide with Phantom?"
Don't quite remember this one, but Lynse is amazing at writing, so it's bound to be a good read.
👻 Confessions by Lynse (Sequel to Connections ^)
"Follows Connections. Danny's secret's not as safe as he thinks, what with Maddie unable to ignore her wild suspicions any longer and piecing things together and Jack asking questions all on his own."
Same as above!
💙👻 Earthquake by Turkeyhead987
"Danny leaves with his bathroom excuse and leaves Dash curious. He follows Danny and ends up the the gym room with him. While they're in there, an earthquake occurs and leaves them trapped inside. Will any secrets be revealed? No DashxDanny! They're just the main characters!"
This one is another one that I've read multiple times over the years! From what I remember, it was a fun read involving Dash and Danny being trapped in the gym after an earthquake, and explores how Danny handles his secret around Dash while they wait for rescue.
💙👻 A Jock and a Hard Place by AnneriaWings
"Danny and Dash were silent, trying to wrap their mind around that stupid, simple fact – the door was locked. They were trapped. In a janitor's closet. Together. (Collab with Haiju)"
No romance in this one! Another story where Danny and Dash get trapped together. I've read this one several times, and remember enjoying the tension of Danny's secret being revealed. I also think they explored Danny and Dash's relationship in a fun way!
👻 An Unlikely Alliance by Represent
"Maddie wants her family back. In an attempt to understand her Danny's change in behavior, she unwittingly enlists the GIW to exorcize Phantom from her son."
Gonna be real with ya'll, I don't remember this one at all. But uhhh I'm gonna throw it on here just because I can. :)
👻 Flip Turn by dreamsweetmydear
"Danny's life the last couple of years has been chaotic and pretty scary, to say the least. However, one detention with Mr. Lancer opens a window of opportunity that promises to turn his life around in more ways than one. Revelation fic. Post-"Kindred Spirits.""
Yet again, I don't remember this fic. Sorry! But it's under 8000 words, so it's a little bit of a shorter read than some of the ones on this list!
👻 Journey of Secrets by WolfKael
"First Danny Phantom fic! DXS, TXV, but not super-heavy. Lancer's class is on a trip to the Ghost Zone, courtesy of the Fentons! (Takes a couple chapters to gain momentum, and I promise it isn't your average 'field trip' fic!) T because I'm paranoid, but it could probably be K ."
Also not a fic I remember. It's got about 50,000 words so thought I'd throw it in for anyone that likes a longer fic!
👻 Vulnerable by HaiJu
"A desperate moment leads to a difficult choice, and Danny must deal with the consequences. A collaboration between Anneriawings and Haiju."
Don't remember it, but HaiJu had/has some great fics! Seems to involve Danny and Maddie after skimming the first chapter.
👻 Little Fires by Represent
"My family's supposed to be geniuses, yet they've never figured it out. Now I know why. Because they already know I'm Phantom. They must know. The better questions are: Have they known this whole time? What's in that vial? What happened to Skulker? And what's in the locked drawer?"
You know what, if I remember it, I'll say something 😂
👻 Judge, Jury, Executioner by Cordria
"The Observants and the Ghost Council are sick of the Fentons creating half-ghost creatures that disobey the rules of the universe. It's time for them to step in before more are made. Can Danny save his parents and keep his secret intact? A three-part fic."
💙👻 A Phantom Marooned by LordPugsy
"No one but Danny was suspicious when his English class was awarded an all-expenses paid cruise trip by an anonymous benefactor. Everyone but Danny thought it was bad luck when they became ship-wrecked on an island in the middle of nowhere. No one but Danny fully understood the dangers lurking in the trees. No one but Danny knew how much danger they were all in so far from home."
This one involves Danny and his class getting out of Amity Park, so it's a little more oc-filled and explores a nontraditional setting for the trio. There might be a little SamxDanny in this one if I remember correctly, but overall I do remember having fun reading through this!
🟢 Candlelight by HappyLeif
"Sam's only friend is the ever-loyal Tucker, ever since Danny began slowly distancing himself from them after some accident freshman year. She wanted a friend, but she never thought she'd find the one she was looking for in the highly debated ghostly hero of Amity Park.
AU = Danny alone during the portal accident. Looks like there's some SamxDanny in this one! Don't remember it but heck I might have to reread it since the synopsis has me interested.
👻 Crashing and Burning by GriffinRose
"For two years, Maddie has put up with Danny's ridiculous lies and excuses. She's tried everything to get through to him, but the pattern just goes on. She's so tired of fighting him on this all the time. And so, after two years, she's done. She doesn't care what her son does anymore, because Danny doesn't seem to care that he's her son."
👻 I'll Be Here by HaiJu
"Some days you can't pick yourself up. Having family means you don't have to. Danny-centric, three oneshots. Completely shameless hurt/comfort. Bring tissues… and antiseptic."
👻 What Little Girls Are Made Of by HaiJu
"Phantom and his younger double save Amity Park from a monstrous ghost, nearly destroying themselves in the process. The Fentons have always hunted ghosts; now it's time to save one."
💙👻💙 You Should Be Dead by SaphireDragon11
"Dash and Kwan are horrified to discover they've accidentally killed their classmate, but perhaps even more so when he shows up at school the next day. With his secret on the line, Danny soon discovers Dash and Kwan are the least of his worries."
THIS story is definitely a favorite and fun read! The ending battle chapters always gets me excited to reread! ***Danny does get straight up shot by Dash at the beginning so be warned for that content. But I remember a post going around a year or so ago where someone had drabbled about Danny getting up after being shot by Dash. This story explores that concept with a longer plot!
💙👻💙 Roughing It by HaiJu
"Lost deep in the woods with an undead pack on their heels, Maddie and Phantom find themselves entangled in an awkward alliance. Can they cooperate long enough to get out of this mess?"
Another favorite! This one explores Maddie and Danny's relationship, kind of similar to how the show did in the Maternal Instincts episode. I adore how HaiJu explores Maddie's thought-process with dealing with Phantom in a situation where she kind of needs him and he won't leave her alone. Great mother-son fic!
👻 Phantom of Truth by Haiju
"Locked away in a secret government lab with Phantom as her subject, nothing stands between Maddie and the truth... except, perhaps, herself."
Haven't read this one in a loooooong time, but I remember being around for HaiJu updating this fic, posting about it on Tumblr, and the Phandom being generally hyped for it. Another staple for the Phandom! It's another torture fic, so heads up regarding that content!
💙👻 Shadow of a Doubt by Haiju (Sequel to Phantom of Truth ^)
"The truth was supposed to save Danny. Fix things. The lab, the experiments, the lies, those were all in the past. Weren't they? Sequel to Phantom of Truth."
And then BAM on top of finishing Phantom of Truth, HaiJu hit us all with a completed sequel! I was super excited whenever this fic got updated, felt like I was waiting for a new episode to air on TV every time! There's some OCs in this since it explores Danny running away from Amity, but I remember genuinely loving the OCs and loved reading about Danny mentally recovering from being experiment on.
👻 Just a Boy by Tay1019411
"Maddie and Jack finally have Phantom right where they always wanted him: in there lab, helpless, but everything is different now. Now, Maddie faces the truth about what Phantom really is."
🟢 Make It Go Away by DarkNymfa
"Not for the first time, Danny cursed himself for never telling anyone about his extra-curricular activities. And now, far more injured than he could fix himself, Danny desperately wished that he had told just one person."
No one knows AU
👻 Flicker by DarkNymfa
"It had taken just one moment, one split-second in which she had seen Phantom instead of Danny. Now she found herself on a path she didn't want to be on. One she couldn't leave, not anymore."
👻 The Scientific Method by ReconstructWriter
""After two years of failures you'd have better luck asking Phantom to be your lab-rat," Jazz said. The Fentons decide to try just that."
👻 Phantom Hitchhiker by ghostanimal
"Phic Phight Oneshot: While students get to leave early after a ghost attack, teachers have to stick around for boring meetings to discuss the attack. The ghost attack was now over, but it didn't mean all the ghosts were gone. Lancer finds himself driving a certain Phantom home while reflecting on how young the poor kid is."
👻 Returning After the Reveal by Illusn
"Phic Phight attack, using a prompt by Love-ly-ish. Danny returns to school after his secret was revealed in a ghost attack, having to deal with people suddenly treating him differently."
👻 Vantage Point by Lynse
"Phantom was young. Painfully young. Somehow, Lancer had never really noticed that before. One-shot, written for the 2019 Phic Phight."
👻 Oddities by Lynse
"Jack can't deny that their ghost hunting equipment malfunctions around Danny-consistently and exclusively around Danny-and decides to get to the bottom of it, once and for all. One-shot, written for the 2019 Phic Phight."
👻 To Be a Hero by cosette141
"Danny has always known the consequences should he be captured by the Guys In White, but now Tucker is going to learn firsthand just what the stakes are for his superhero friend and what it really means to be a hero. (not slash) hurt/comfort"
👻 Family Reunion by Dp-Marvel94
"For Phango. Prompts used- Setting: Family Reunion, Wes Weston, Aunt Alicia, Stuck in the thermos. And Identity Reveal…kinda (does it count if Wes had already worked out that Fenton was Phantom but hadn't seen him actually transform so wasn't completely sure?)"
Wes Fic!
👻 Stuck by SummersSixEcho
"[OneShot] After a prank from two of his ghostly acquaintances, Danny is stuck in ghost mode during one of the most important events of his young half-life. If only he didn't have to give a speech on top of it... [Phic Phight 2020 entry; prompt by Ghostanimal]"
👻 One-Eighty by SummersSixEcho
"[One Shot] After a grueling battle, two teenagers at a diner try to sort out a night of revelations. [DannyMay 2020, Day 28: Diner]"
👻 Threads of Time by ZombieRed
""I just want to know what's going on with you, Danny! I wish I could just, I don't know, spend the day figuring out what you've been hiding from me. Then maybe I could help you. But you being closed off from everyone is only hurting you. Can't you see that?" Or Maddie keeps on waking up to Thursday morning [No PP, pretty much ignores season 3 as a whole]"
👻 Invisible Stitches by Lynse
"Family bonding time might be less dangerous now that his parents know his secret, but that doesn't mean Danny is wild about being kept in the dark when it comes to his dad's plans for the weekend. One-shot."
Loved the concept of Danny having trouble being away from Amity Park!
👻 Whenever You're Ready by SummersSixEcho
"[OneShot] Jack and Maddie try to show their son they are very supportive of Phantom once they find out his secret. They want him to tell them on his terms, but everything ends up in bigger misunderstandings and more revelations they weren't prepared for. [Belated Phic Phight entry for Star G, Arioz, Bird, Dekalkomania, and Wife]"
Written in a Journal-Entry style! Interesting format if I remember correctly.
👻 An Attempt at Camping by Seasilver17
"They should have known that even when they were in the middle of nowhere camping. Something would have to go wrong. Curse his Fenton luck"
👻 Secrets Secrets and Advice (This Teacher's Vice) by AppleScentedLazers
"After a particularly grueling day Mr. Lancer just wants to go home, kick up his feet, and read some Shakespeare. But, when he runs into two of his students looking for their missing best friend, Lancer ends up with more questions than he has answers for. Such as, who is Phantom? And just what is Daniel Fenton hiding?"
👻🟢 Going Ghost by cosette141
"My take on the moment Danny turns on the ghost portal and becomes half-ghost… as well as an alternate way for Sam and Tucker to find out. Friendship Oneshot"

💙👻 In Case of Emergency by Unlucky Alis
"Lancer is grading papers when he gets the call. "I'm calling from Amity West. I have an underage patient here who has named you as their emergency contact." Lancer rushes over, of course, fretting all the while about what accident Danny Fenton has gotten himself into now, because it could only be him. Except, when he arrives, it's not the Danny he expected to find."
I remember enjoying the little twist on Lancer being the emergency contact for Phantom yet having no idea. Lancer handles it pretty well all things considered. (I think you guys can tell I just like Lancer fics at this point HA)
👻 Furthest from Myself by WastefulReverie
"An accident during a ghost invasion leaves nearly a hundred citizens with inexplicable ghost powers. Little did they know, this was only the catalyst for a series of revelations."
👻 Ghost Smarts! by Dekalkomania
"When it becomes clear the ghosts are here to stay, the Amity Park school district decides they need to teach proper safety precautions. In dire need of extra credit, Danny takes Mr. Lancer's offer to be the assistant in an assembly titled, "Ghost Smarts!"
Very unprepared for what he signed up for, Danny must deal with the eccentric detective J.J. Bittenbinder, all while not blowing his cover."

A lot of people don't know how gills work.
just sayin. it is apparently not widespread knowledge :(
It's not, like, an automatic thing. The water doesn't come IN the gills, and gills definitely don't just pull oxygen straight from the h2o. What really happens is the fishes or anthropomorphic beings with gills takes in water through their mouth. Then, they separate the oxygen to keep and use, and scrap the rest. THAT is what comes out of the gills. Gills are like a fancy lil method of secreting body excrement, in a way. kinda.
Now. Can fishes (or anthropomorphic beings with gills) breathe out of the water? A lot of fishes can't, but there are actually quite a few that can. (Google mudskipper, it's really cool i promise, they can walk.) Obviously, according the theory of evolution, there is a v e r y long history of fishes learning to breathe on land. Since they are still fishes, they can also breathe underwater. This means that the two are not mutually exclusive.
So TELL ME WHY movies and books always portray it like that????!!!!!
Anyways, I was reading a fanfiction with mermaids in it so i wrote this cuz they got it wrong in there. plus i just think it's interesting.
I am definitely NOT an expert so if someone is and you are offended by misinformation that's maybe accidentally in here pls correct me!
There was a surprising amount of mudskipper gifs available on tumblr.com so enjoy 🐟🐠🦈🐡
#fish#fishes#mudskipper#fanfiction#writing tips#????#ig? if ur writing about anthropomorphic beings with gills and wanna be accurate???#marine life#marine biology#honestly#h2o just add water#love that shit#what do you call a fish without an eye?#fshhhhhhhh#that is my favorite fucking joke

This is a well-known Palestinian user and vetter explaining that they are completely confident that the pornbotlike ask sent by an account with a verified fundraiser was a result of "embarrassing behavior/a mistake in online interactions."
This would be more plausible if it was a one time occurrence, but this blog sent the exact same ask to (at minimum) three separate accounts:
Link
Link
Link
These asks are all identical, to the letter - that's how I found them. This is, needless to say, very strange for any person to do on tumblr, least of all someone who is raising money to try and protect their family from a genocide. glitzyboo, for example, does not post images of themselves or reblog anything remotely close to NSFW, so it's very very odd behavior for someone to tell them they are "pretty enough" for anything. It is even more suspicious when you consider the very long history of porn bots sending sugar daddy scam asks on this site.
I don't know what is going wrong here - who is mistaken about what, what part of the process is breaking down, but the story told in the above post, that this was an embarrassing social faux pas that happened one time and was sent by a real person who was horny, does not hold up to scrutiny.

Danny puts up with a lot of stress, okay. His coping mechanism is....okay, it's a little weird, he's not gonna lie.
It is widely known that he has a human form and a ghost form; it is not widely known that his ghost form can do pretty much whatever he wants it to.
This includes making it smaller. Changing the ghost tail to a fish one. Making the suit be scales instead of a suit.
He does it so many times he now officially has three forms, and one of them is purely for himself and no one else.
His stress relief is to go to the aquarium, switch to the tiny merman form, and hide in the rocks of his favorite exhibit; the shark exhibit.
He stays in the back, away from the people visiting it's sight, and just vibes. He's even made a small cave the sharks can't fit into a tiny little nest.
No one would expect him there. No one would be looking for him there. He was free to just...take a moment.
Well, so he thought.
Because the humans visiting did see him. Multiple times.
They took pictures.
Now the Amity Park Aquarium is in some deep shit with Atlantis, because there's documented proof that they're keeping a literal baby mer in there as a spectacle.
#mer danny#baby mer danny#little baby man#sorry MER#little baby mer#you guys i love this#also the ART#in love

I was wondering, I know phoenix is a mythical creature but is it herbivore or a carnivore or perhaps an omnivore like if it's real what do you think it'll eat but if I look at the beak and claws it's similar to an eagle I think?
great news, phoenixes aren't actually mythical creatures at all!
in fact, here's one right now:
that's right, the myth of the phoenix was very likely started by this actual real bird, in Africa! right on the border of Tanzania and Kenya, actually.
riiight about... HERE.
this is Lake Natron.
Lake Natron is an alkaline salt lake of volcanic origin, where the water is as caustic as pure ammonia and can be hotter than a sauna at 140 F!
what lives here? not much. just the extremophile bacteria that gives the water and salt flats their pink tint, really.
oh, and these guys.
that's right, if you're a Lesser Flamingo, this volcanic hellscape is home sweet home! they live in the lake year-round, feeding on the bacteria that they painstakingly filter out of the near-boiling waters with their hooked beaks.
and at some point, some traveling humans presumably noticed a flock of giant pink birds taking flight from a poisonous and hard-to-reach bright-red hellscape, with billowing clouds of steam that might have looked like smoke from a distance, and took word to the nearest settlement. and from there the tale passed on through the old world, eventually growing into the legend of the bird that sets itself alight to be reborn that we know and love today!
so, yeah! phoenixes eat cyanobacteria.
surprise?

Big Brother Damian
dp x dc crossover
I need more Big Brother Damian. I’m not talking about your classic “Damian is the older twin” trope—which, don’t get me wrong, I still adore—but the unlimited potential of Damian realizing he’s no longer the baby of the family.
Prompt 1: Danny is adopted. I don’t care how it happens. Maybe he’s de-aged, maybe the portal accident happens sooner, anything that results in Danny being a kiddo. I see Damian, standing in front of this baby-faced six-year-old who looks up at him adoringly like that one shot of baby Gumball.
Damian’s very awkward, of course. Tense. He doesn’t do…children. Victims on patrol are different, easily passed on to the authorities, comforted with just the sight of his colors. No, this boy is looking at him the way Damian sees his brothers look at Dick when they don’t think Dick is looking. The way he probably looks at Dick. He can’t pass this one on to someone else. He’s the big brother now. What do big brothers do?
Damian hands Danny his sword, who joyfully squeals and declares Damian as his favorite. Ah, yes, Damian thinks as the rest of the family choruses “No!” in the background. This will do nicely.
Danny follows him around like a duckling, giggling at every teasing remark Dami makes at his siblings’ expense. Danny gets the Robin figurine in a Batburger kids meal, spends all morning in his bedroom (next door to Damian���s, obviously), and presents it to Dami the next day. Danny had taken the toy apart and rebuilt it with working parts, making an interactive Robin toy that walks on its own with the winding of a trigger on the back. Damian displays it proudly on his desk. Dick thinks the pair are the cutest.
Damian “trains” Danny—he calls it stealth training, but they all know it’s an excuse to play Hide and Seek (or perhaps help Danny stop relying on his powers). Despite Danny’s sweet, giggly manner, he is ruthless in their training games. Some might say it’s his ghostly instincts finally allowed to flourish in a safe, healthy, controlled environment.
When Danny is sick, Damian is by his side the entire time to soothe his fears of the medbay. When the rest of the family tries to drag him away at bedtime, he sneaks back into Danny’s room and reads him a bedtime story from a book of constellations. Danny, trusting his big brother with his life and soul, cuddles into Damian’s side. The fall asleep like that, staring at the stars on his ceiling.
The first time Damian gets mad at Danny is an oversight, which he immediately rectifies. When he got home from school, he found his door cracked open, which was the first sign of something being wrong. No one is allowed in Damian’s room without explicit permission. Then he’d entered and found several of his oil paints missing and one of his unfinished paintings splattered on the floor, drops of color dripping from a tube ruining his delicate work. Naturally, he’s furious, and doesn’t hesitate to track down every one of his older siblings to yell and accuse them of the malicious crime. Damian is unknowingly followed by an invisible little boy the entire time.
Plotting revenge after none of his siblings fess up, he stalks back to his bedroom, only to be greeting by a crying seven-year-old who just wanted to impress his big brother with a pretty painting. Damian’s upset at first, but he can’t stay mad now that he knows the truth. He sits Danny down and explains that sometimes it’s better to ask than take a risk that could end in a mess. Then he shows Danny how to use some less-expensive paints, buys him a personalized, engraved paintbrush of the highest quality, and some thick paper.
Danny makes a messy painting of the Milky Way, cute in the way of little kid drawings, and Damian bribes the Gotham Art Museum to hang it up in their wing founded by the Wayne Foundation.
Prompt 2: A reverse of the “Danny is biologically Damian’s older brother.” I’ve seen that one a few times (and enjoyed it), and even though I’ve seen the reverse trope maybe once or twice, it was usually a twin fic where Danny is de-aged or something similar with time shenanigans. I want to see Danny being biologically younger. Yes, I know that one is less commonly written because Bruce would have had to be with Talia several years after Damian’s conception, and he’d probably have some of his other children by then. Luckily, as writers, logic and reason are suggestions. Ignore the probability and embrace the artistic desire.
We can age Damian up so that Danny can be a fanonically preferred age (14-16) or keep Damian around 13 so that Danny can be a cute little kid. Imagine Damian being told when the boy is born that this child is his to mentor and look after as an older brother, only to get back from a mission one day to learn his baby brother is dead. Damian, freshly dumped on the Waynes, lashing out and refusing a relationship with the others because how can he look them in the eye and see what he never was? How can he be faced with how badly he failed as a big brother? How can he look Richard in the eyes and not remember everything he did wrong with Danny?
Maybe Damian had been mean to Danny back in the day, always knowing that Danyal was meant to be a replacement for Damian if he failed. Maybe he was harsh because he was taught love was a weakness or he didn’t want to get too close to the boy for fear of losing him. Or maybe (my personal preference), he is only ever gentle with his baby brother. In the sanctity of their bedroom, Damian allows himself to be soft and kind when holding those tiny baby hands or rubbing stolen cream over bruises. Danyal learns his compassion from his only role model in the League of Assassins, a compassion he carries with him to Amity Park and past his second death (depending on if you believe the first time was faked by Talia or himself). Damian doesn’t learn this for a very long time, always convinced that even the love he spared for his younger counterpart was not enough to save him from an assassin’s fate.
And then Danny’s back. A little worse for wear, but alive. Different than he remembers. Perhaps now Damian understands what Dick felt when Jason came back from the dead, presented with a second chance to do better. Perhaps he understands Tim a little more, suddenly no longer the baby of the family and faced with a baby brother he isn’t sure how to handle. It brings him closer to the rest of his family and warms his aching heart, finally reunited with all his loved ones in the same place.
What Damian and Danny related tropes do you want to see more of? Which dynamics are your favorites? I want to hear it all. Give me your brainrot.

“An average Gothamite is haunted three times a year" factoid actualy just a statistical error. An average Gothamite is haunted 0 times per year. Phantom Danny, who lives in crime alley & is haunted over 10,000 times each day, is an outlier and should not have been counted.

Hello!
A thing that I think a lot of people don't know about dead bodies is pertaining to rigor mortis.
Rigor mortis is a physical side effect of dying; it is part of the decomposition process! Rigor mortis refers to the stiffening and contracting of one's muscles after their death. This results in the body becoming stiff and often stuck in the position they died in.
Now, I think a lot of people know that. What I think many don't know is that it isn't permanent. Rigor begins to set in about 2-3 hours after death, starting in the neck and jaw. From there, it spreads around the body until the entire body is in rigor, about 12 hours after death. The body is in full rigor until about 24-36 hours after death, after which the body will begin to loosen up again as more of the cells in the tissues die.
These times aren't exact, as every body is different and so are outside conditions, and those factors can change a lot about decomposition, but that is pretty much the gist of it!
Anyway, that's just something interesting, and as an avid fic reader I spot some inaccuracies (especially in the Phandom). It's not a make or break, but I hope this is interesting to some of you!
