#Danny probably also has to get the baby speech fro Jazz

[fairy-lights-and-blobs]

Idea:

The Phandom really likes giving Danny a lot of titles.

Chief among them being The Balance, and The Bridge Between Life and Death.

Danny can see the unseen.

Tiny blob Ghosts that can't yet get strong enough to be visible flock to the ecto in his aura. So al along the day Casper High see Danny start giggling at random times, for no reason. They think he's finally gone mad.

Until, just as Lancer is considering calling him out on it, right in front of the whole class, the little blobs finally charge enough to vibe visible, and suddenly Danny is absolutely COVERED in tiny blob ghosts, chirping and wiggling against his neck and in his hair, and trying to crawl under his shirt because they're curious about how clothes work.

A collective "Ah, that would explain it" moment for everyone in that classroom.

Small ghostly rodents and birds chase each other around his ankles and head. One particularly brave starling nestles in his hair for a bit, until a small natural portal opens up and it flies away after it's companions.

He comes across a pregnant lady in the store, and while her husband helps get that baby carrier they've been eyeing down from the upper rack, she sees this twig of a kid with green glowing eyes waving at her. So naturally she waves back, but he's not looking at her. He looks at her baby, kicking away like the energetic ball of sunshine they are, and whispers a blessing at her before leaving

"Was that the Fenton kid?"

"Uh...yeah...? I think he just blessed us or something? I think he was waving at the baby?"

"You think he can see them?"

At school, hes the only one who's allowed to go anywhere near the group of trees the local crowd have taken over as their nesting grounds, and he keeps feeding them, and praising their hatchlings...while they're still in the egg.

I think Danny should get to see the dead that joined his people in the Realms, and those about to be born, especially those that are former ghosts but being reincarnated into another life.

Can you imagine being the couple that is set to raise Ember's next life?

Or better yet, Pariah Dark?

You go to sleep in the arms of your dear Beloved, and in your dreams you see the Personification of Sleep and Dreams that took the whole city under their spell once.

No biggie, you and everyone e else has seen Nocturne in a dream before, and woke up just fine the next day.

Except this time he's joined by...you assume it's Phantom, but he looks made of stardust, and galaxies, and there's twin quasars that swirl contemplatively. He's barely anything-shaped, and looks more like he'd fit in somewhere like Bloodborne, or on the cover an H.P. Lovecraft book.

Wings unfurl and peacock feathers stare at you with eyes that glimmer like gemstones, and the galaxies rotate, singing in conjunction between Sleep and Space.

And they come with a message.

"Pariah Dark, former Ghost King, has been dethroned, as you know."

Yeah, who could forget the time when the whole city got pulled into the Ghosts' dimension?

Nocturne picks up where Phantom stops.

"The Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep has proven...ineffective at dealing with the problem permanently. Therefore the Ancients have gathered, to find alternatives."

Ok, making sense so far. If it don't work, try a new option.

"Phantom, among others, has put forth the option of attempting to rehabilitate Pariah, and rebirth has the potential for the best results. Therefore, parents must be chosen. And, at Phantom's behest, you have been considered and found to be ideal."

Wait, what? Phantom said what?! Confusion abounds, and you have no fucking clue WHY the local hero would consider you a good mother to a dead Tyrant!!!!

"I don't know if you remember this, but...I remember when I'd just started out, and had no idea what was going on or what I could even do." Space curls in on itself, and Phantom solidifies in front of you...scratching at his neck like an anxious kid. "The reason why I mentioned you, among our options, as the best candidate, is because I remember when you found me...and I was mid-breakdown after a really rough fight. You didn't hesitate. You saw a kid needing help, and you set aside all the anti-ghost stuff, and hugged me until I was ok."

And oh, yeah, now you remember that. It had seemed like the natural thing to do at the time. If there's a kid having an panic attack, you do your best to help them through it. You did it before for one of your little cousins. Evidently, it meant so much more to this kid.

"You seem like a genuinely good person. Not because you're perfect every day. But because you naturally choose kindness whenever you can. And that's rare. Very rare, and you don't have to accept. I know it's a big responsibility, to raise the former Ghost King's reincarnation. But I just had to as least ask, right? Nothing ventured, nothing gained, or whatever?"

Phantom's starting to ramble, so you cut him off by resting your hand on his head and scratching like he's a small cat.

"Count me in, kiddo."

"You're accepting?"

"I mean, we've been trying for a kid, so this comes at the right time. But if the baby stars glowing or making me float, I'm borrowing Skulker's tech and hunting you down for sport until you help me get all the ghost stuff under control."

where's my Danny that can see the ghosts no one else can see.

where's my Danny constantly watching all the spirits of little rodents and roadkill roaming the town, the ones that aren't strong enough to manifest to the point to be seen by humans, but can definitely be seen by a fellow ghost.

where's my Danny being able to see and smell the auras of all the humans around him to the point where he can pinpoint someone's exact emotion without even speaking to them.

where's my Danny that can hear all the otherworldly sounds human ears fall deaf to.

where's my Danny that people give funny looks to bc they see him bending down and talking to thin air.

where's my Danny who's the only one able to perceive these things and see beyond the veil?
