InvisoBang art I worked on with @amaxeart for @thatoctokittenclutchinganotebook 's fic, Portal Safety.

amaxe did the lineart, and I did the coloring. It gave me a lot of trouble, but I think it looks really cool! More art to come, but since they're farther on in the fic, they'll be a little hidden for spoilers.

They stood behind her, watching curiously from a safe distance while she leaned down to look right into his eyes. "I don't think I've seen you around before," said the only girl in the group. "What's your name, kid?" "I'm... I don't really know." "You're new, huh?" she said with a thoughtful tilt of her head. From seemingly nowhere, familiar music began to play,...

Another art for the bang! This time a one page comic^^

Hunting ghosts can get a bit messy~

So ...been a while

 Vlad floated upwards as he shifted to Plasmius, until he was towering over Danny. He leaned down, his face close to Danny’s ear and spoke in a taunting whisper. “You heard what your mother said about me. Do you want her to say those things about you?” Danny’s fists were trembling and his eyes were wide and glowing.  No. No, she wouldn’t.

My partner was AsthmaticBookwyrm, and they wrote this fantastic part for their story for @invisobang You can read it here at the link below!

Not Everything Is As It Seems

by @akela-nakamura

“What do you hope to find?” The ghost asks, its voice almost flat. “You know, when you cut me open?” It gestures—well, just barely manages to move its head towards the tools, several knives shining in the clinical light.  Jack, for his part, can’t seem to move.

wooo this was so exciting!!! my first time with invisobang and being an artist for a big bang!!

i had such a good time drawing for this fic, everyone needs to make sure they give it a read!!! such a great story <3

Not Everything Is As It Seems by @akela-nakamura

“ The year Danny Fenton turns fourteen everything changes.

It’s more than the strange machine his parents built, more than the ghosts that start coming through, more than his own changed DNA. The town changes. The people change.

His parents change. “

Danny Phantom Fanfiction.Net Fic Recs

We’ve been getting lots of new phans joining the phandom or not knowing where to start their search for curated phandom content. There’s a lot of content out there and we have stories and comics shared on sites like FanFiction, DeviantArt, Archive of our Own, Tumblr, and so many others.

So, while this is not a comprehensive list, these are some of the works I’ve loved over the years and I highly recommend from Fanfiction.Net (which I know is hard to explore). Hope you enjoy!

If you're having trouble reading with all the ads on the site, consider downloading the official Fanfiction.Net app, downloading it on FicHub, or using an ad blocker.

Please don’t take this era classification as official or anything lol I chose these dates as a way to understand changes in the phandom (when the show aired, when Tumblr's phandom began to grow, when there was a resurgence of interest in Tumblr according to Fandometrics, etc). This won't go on to 2020 since most works I bookmarked were also posted on AO3

In the list below the break, consider that this 🔹 marks unfinished fics (...so far) that are really good

2004-2007: The Canon Discovery Era (aka when the show still aired)

📖🔹 “A Secret Uncovered” by @darthfrodophantom || Danny’s transformation is caught on tape, revelation chaos ensues. (Currently being cross-posted on AO3). Also, Darth is back in the phandom and has even joined different phandom events and really cool projects, like the DP AU Zine. She also wrote another awesome story, one of the first dissec-adjacent stories, “Tortured Truth”.

📖 “Unmasked” by WingsOfMorphius || Valerie & Phantom get stranded, learn more about each other. One of the first Val-centric stories I remember. WoM was an icon back in the day and has many awesome stories (but consider a few of them will remain incomplete, such as 🔹"Moments of Clarity" or 🔹"Gender Confusion").

📖 “Estrelas” by Shimegami-chan || Sam finds a ghost in her grandma’s attic. One of the first stories to expand on Danny's immortality.

📖 “Running Blind” by Dejah Thoris of Mars || A CSI crossover, featuring a runaway Danny Fenton. It's a long one-shot that doesn't necessarily require you to know the CSI characters to enjoy it.

📖 “Like Son, Like Father” by Erratta || As Jack's trying to understand his son’s problems, he turns into a half-ghost. One of the few halfa-Jack stories I can recall.

📖 “A Thermos for Valerie” by Bluemoonalto || Danny (as Fenton) tells Valerie he knows about her being a ghost hunter. One of the best Val reveals I've read.

📖 “Playground Philosophy” by Epona Harper || Maddie and Phantom bonding at the playground. It also has a sequel (“Fuzzy Logic”)

📖 “Complications” by HiddenAuthor || Lots of worldbuilding as Danny’s powers increase. It also has excellent sequels! “Exceptions”, “Hopes”, and 🔹 “It’s in the Genes” (the last one is the only one incomplete).

📖 “Anathema” by Firefury Amahira || Dan’s POV for the events in the TUE timeline. Companion pieces: “Jeremiad” and “Benediction”, which are all written exquisitely.

📖 “Phantom’s Sketchbook” by AkoyaMizuno || One of the phandom early classics. Mr. Lancer finding Phantom’s abandoned sketchbook and learning more about the ghost.

📖 “Do Superheroes Exist?” by Golden Lunar Eclipse || Danny’s secret revealed to the world and the aftermath after it gains media attention.

📖 “Heartbeat” by Evilevergreen || Danny never realized until now that his heart stopped beating when he turned ghost. A heartbreaking Danny/Valerie fic (with a darker sequel, too).

📖 “Unexpected Revelation” by TallieCat || Maddie waits in Danny's empty room until he crawled back through the window in the middle of the night. This one started like a one-shot was then continued years later!

📖 “Ghostly Emotions” by Invader Johnny || TUE alternate ending where Danny loses his memories and Ember tries to take advantage of that. A Danny/Ember fic.

📖 🔹 “The Ultimate Hero” by moonymonster || Alternate TUE ending in which Clockwork doesn't interfere and Danny (spoiler) becomes full ghost.

📖 🔹 “Anathema's Abode” by Twisted Creampuff || AU that takes place in a secret war, where Sam meets a ghost hybrid who could help them win the war.

2008-2012: The 100% Post-Canon Era (aka dissec and fix-its)

📖 “Lab Rat” by AnneriaWings || Danny under his parents’ scrutiny on the lab table. For many this fic marks a before and after in terms of dissec fics.

📖 “Infinite Potential” by MyAibou || Post-canon exploration (including PP). MyAibou’s stories are amazing. Check out “Ghosts in the Closet” as well.

📖 “Masks” by @cordria || A story examining Danny’s relationship to the human race. Cordria’s stories are so varied and all so wonderful to explore.

📖 “Karate, Judo, KungFu, What was That?” by Artgirl4 || Maddie trying to figure Danny out after she sees he has more fighting skills than she thought.

📖 “A Note From the Resident” by The Light’s Refrain || Danny wakes up one day to a clean room and a disturbing note. This is such an eerie take on his ghost half, I love it.

📖 “The Scrapbook” by Dragon Elexus || Maddie finds Jazz’s scrapbook about Phantom and stumbles upon some secrets.

📖 “The Truth Game” by Paradise-Whispers || Val and Danny are stranded after a field trip and play a truth game.

📖 “The Social Game” by Chaos Dragon || The A-listers discover Danny’s secret. Decide to do something about it.

📖 “Going Up” by Danny Phantom SG-1 || Danny has to help a fellow ghost move on, but it's not just any ghost. It's family. Really beautiful but heartbreaking one-shot.

📖 “Ten Minutes to the End” by @phantomtwitch || Suspenseful one-shot. Time is running out and the key to everyone's survival literally rests in Jazz's hands... This author is also currently writing a wonderful hazmat au / no one knows au named "Echoes"

📖 “A Batch of Cookies” by jadedbluerose || Maddie bakes a batch of cookies with a secret ingredient.

📖 “Complications” by @ladylynse || Valerie's trying to come to terms with the realization that Vlad Masters is Vlad Plasmius. An amazing Val-centric fic.

📖 “Family Adjustments” by dpluver || A collection of post-PP drabbles focusing on Fenton family bonding. This is another amazing example of how people tried to handle stories taking Phantom Planet into consideration.

2013-2019: The Fanon Explosion Era (aka enter Tumblr and the phandom lore era) - Note: Most new stories moved to AO3 but some were crossposted here.

📖 “Doorbell” by @sapphireswimming || She kept waiting for him to walk through the front door... A hurt & comfort story. Sapphireswimming has so many wonderful stories and micro-stories to check out as well.

📖 “The Janitor” by @currentlylurking || Casper High's janitor finds Phantom bandaging himself up in the janitor's closet. A lovely look at one of many minor characters in the show.

📖 “Nexus” by HappyLeif || When Danny is injured and desperate and backed into a corner, Clockwork passes him the reins. This author is one of my all time favorites and this story has such exquisite Donnie Darko vibes. Please check out all their other stories if you can.

📖 “Captive Audience” by LunarMothim (aka thickerthanectoplasm) || Phantom finds himself trapped with Jack and Maddie during a ghost hunting retreat. One of the stories that began to apply the ghost speak lore.

📖 “A Jock and a Hard Place” by AnneriaWings & Haiju || Danny & Dash are trapped in a janitor's closet during a ghost attack while they're alone at school. Things don't look good for Danny. A brilliant one-shot.

📖 “Phantom of Truth” by Haiju || Maddie works with the GIW to study Phantom. Also with a sequel "Shadow of a Doubt". An angsty phandom classic in the dissec genre.

📖 🔹 “Of Field Trips and Phantoms” by Ironinkpen || Fieldtrip to the Ghost Zone with lots of delicious shenanigans.

📖 “Shift” by CaptainOzone || AU in which Danny's secret is revealed to the world before he ever steps foot in Amity Park. A wonderful "everyone knows" story.

📖 “Karma has a Sense of Humor” by Vitaliciouscreations || A oneshot featuring Danny, Mikey, Nathan, and Lester and the way karma has a funny way of working.

📖 🔹 “Possession” by Hybridkylin || The state of being controlled by a demon or spirit. In this case, what happens if Phantom possessed Danny.

📖 “A Snapping Sound” by @leda-x || AU where Sam finds ghost stories and mysteries to reveal in Amity Park. A really exquisite horror story and a beloved phandom classic as well (I still cry that I couldn't buy it in print).

📖 🔹 “Experience is Everything” by Anne Camp aka Obi-quiet || A 29-year-old Danny is sent to the past in his 14-year-old body after he first gained his powers, where he tries to do things differently.

[ectopal]

Believe it or not, being beaten up by a 14 year old and his friends can get pretty tiring. So Vlad packed up his bags and moved to Gotham. It was there that he hoped to start anew and unimpeded considering their no meta rule. His plan worked marvelously. So well in fact that he was approached by a group calling themselves the Court of Owls.
