#Danny's gotta do some research - stat

[uniasus]

Date nights were sacred. Tim and Danny made sure they had hero coverage, so they could ignore patrol and just share a cappuccino bubble tea or whatever, thank you very much. Date nights were for them.

It was not for little siblings to crash. Especially not their two year anniversary.

Danny shared a panicked look with Tim, who simply shrugged, and continued to watch Damian and Dani. Damian's scowl had the maître d' step aside, and Dani dragged Damian through the fancy Italian place. They were at their table in seconds, uncaring of all the eyes of Gotham's elite on the four of them.

To Danny's horror, both Dani and Damian were glaring daggers at him. Danny swallowed, while Tim leaned back in his seat, curious and willing to let his boyfriend take the heat. At least Dani and Damian weren't hurt, just mad.

"Hey," Danny said. "I'm enjoying a nice dinner with Tim. Can this wait?"

"You've been lying to my brother," Damian snapped, crossing his arms over his chest.

Tim sat up straight and Danny's eyes went wide.

"And you've lied to me," Dani added, hands on her hips.

Danny flicked his gaze toward Tim, who had wiped his face of all emotion. Danny was lying to Tim - by omission - but he'd plan to come clean tonight. It certainly wasn't something to reveal in a restaurant full of people.

But Danny could read the surprise and hurt in Dani's aura. Whatever happened bothered her so much she couldn't delay this confrontation.

"You gave me freedom, Danny. Or at least, I thought you did." She sniffed. "My life, my rules. You wouldn't ask me to do anything I didn't want to. Gave me no expectations or responsibility to the Realms."

"And I meant that-"

"Did you? Because if so, explain this!" She thrust her hand into his face, and it took Danny a moment to recognize what he was seeing. A green band sat on her right hand, solid ecto. A contract symbol, faintly radiating his own ecto signature.

"What's that?"

"An engagement ring! Because you solid me off like a fairy tale princess and now I have to marry him!" Dani screeched as she pointed at Damian, who looked both put off and pleased.

"Excuse me?!" Tim sputtered.

"That lie?" Damian offered. "He's royalty, and an ally of Ra's."

Tim grit his teeth and stood, face cold.

Danny flipped his gaze between the three of them. "Babe, okay. So there's some things I haven't told you. But I sure as hell don't know any Ra's, and Dani, I promise you I didn't-"

She waved her hand in Danny's face, wiggling her ring finger, but Danny ignored it to watch Tim peer at a matching ring on Damian's hand.

"I got fucking summoned, Danny," Dani hissed. "This ring won't come off. You've got three days to fix it."

She spun on her heel and marched out, fluid enough Danny knew she used intangibility to make the route easier. Damian and Tim followed.

"Sooo," a voice drawled and Danny turned around to see Vicki Vale learn her chair back from a table on the other side of the room. Danny flipped her off and went to find the waiter. Dinner on him, tonight.

Double Edged Sword prompt

Dani x Damian

Ra’s Al Ghul had set up a contract that promised his heir to the heir of the Infinite Realms as a way to keep his access to the Lazarus Pits.

However, the contract didn’t activate for his children. In fact, it only activated after his grandson turned twelve. Apparently a new king had taken over, and he had an heir.

Damian was not expecting his grandfather to have kidnapped him to meet his fiancé. Nor did he expect his fiancé, the heir of the Infinite Realms, to be Danielle Fenton, the younger sister of Drake’s boyfriend.

Dani is just wondering why the fruitloop summoned her and how Damian got involved.

Fic Writer Review

I’m so sorry, I hadn’t seen this in my mentions until now months after the fact- Thank you to @flutteringdreams-matw for tagging me and apologies for being super late rip 

1) How many works do you have on AO3?

Sixteen, surprisingly. Quarantine got me writing more than I have in years lol

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

138,410....V happy about that cause writer’s block had me on such a chokehold

3. How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

Hmm, published is one fandom, Danny Phantom. And unpublished is stuff I had written for Percy Jackson. So two proper ones. 

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

We pulling up the stats again~

1. Family Reunion

2. A Green Thumb

3. Vibe Check

4. Ghost Smarts!

5. #Stitch

5. Which of your fics do you want more attention for?

I don’t think I have a preference currently? Any fic interaction is greatly appreciated, thanks to anyone checking them out 💖

6. Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

Confession time: I am really shit at responding to comments. Part of it was because I had this weird thought that I would get really annoying bombarding everyone with replies 💀💀 Really dumb considering I love getting responses. I’ll try to get better now, prepare for spam 💃

7. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

Probably I Love You to Pieces - pretty hastily written fic, a bit messy. But you know, it fits the bill with that rather Slap Chop commercial of an ending. 

8. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

Not yet but definitely have some prompts for some stored up in my notes app! So far got some crossovers planned with Avatar, Spiderman, Young Justice, Ben 10, The Flash, Percy Jackson, Gotham, etc.

The most random shit mixed with DP 🔥

9. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Constructive criticism only really, wouldn’t consider it hate. Fingers crossed we stay that way lol

10. Do you write smut? if so what kind?

Nope~ 

Funny cause I’ve mentioned offhandedly that I like to write fics to people who don’t regularly read them and they often assume that’s what I write. It’s when I realized the term fanfiction is often seen as synonymous with smut when that's not entirely the case lol

11. Have you ever had a fic translated?

I have not~

12. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Nope~

13. What’s your all time favorite ship?

Well, in the phandom I enjoy Grey Ghost, but I don’t primarily read ship fics for DP. Here for the lore bb 👻👻

14. What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

“I never will” is a strong phrase. Maybe just, “won’t for a long time.” With the Brewing of a Storm is in the backburner rn, and although I had some continuations planned for Things That Lurk in the Dark, those will have to wait

15. What are your writing strengths?

Well, I have fun writing dialogue and I’m pretty good at coming up with ideas as I write. Improvisation and the fact that I actually really really enjoy doing it.

16. What are your writing weaknesses?

Many. so many. Biggest ones are probably actually forcing myself to sit down and write, I’m bad at action sequences, and I can be inconsistent. Recently realized I break POV a lot. It's okay though, room for improvement ~

17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

Uh, I would need to do a lot of research. Gotta be careful with it. Closest I could attempt somewhat okay is dialogue in Spanish, porque es mi segundo idioma. Pero definitivamente no soy hablante nativa entonces....I'll limit it to this answer lol

18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Percy Jackson, and those crappy fics will not see the light of day. To the ghost zone 👉🏼👻

19. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

Tough cause I enjoy them all in their own way. But I got super into Comfortably Numb and then let out a good chuckle at the end of Family Reunion (which I do plan to continue someday lol)

20. What fic are you most proud of?

Comfortably Numb since I’m actually committing to a longfic with this one, which is quite a challenge for me. The response in the comments is also super, super cool. I love everyone’s insight so much. The predictions, the analysis, all really awesome. Thank you for making writing it so much more fun!

Tagging: Hopefully I’m not double tagging here, but @summerssixecho @ave-aria @echoghost1

FILL THE HALLS WITH BOUGHS OF BANTER

I left this photoshop looking like this cause Rowan here looks like a FIFA99 render....or the render of fans in FIFA13 when they were added....hahahaha

I know what you’re thinking...ye of little faith...you really thought it wasn’t going to happen. But here it is, the main event, what you’ve all been waiting for. It’s the Bush League, Merry Bushmas Christmas Update 2017 2018!

As we head into the holiday bumper period, the Bush is at it’s most competitive and funnest yet. Through Logan ‘Champ squared’ McIndoe stands ahead of the pack with a dominant 7 point lead, the spots below in the top 8 are all to play for. Looking at the table above the point differentials and the wins are tasty as fuck to say the least. With regular suspects Logan, George and (on the odd occasion Harry), The top 8 has some interesting new contenders. Let’s all get up and sing for the man of the hour Guy Ethell who now sits in the top 8 (through at least 10 games) for the first time in two seasons. From the strong Wooden Spoon magnet to now a championship contender, what else is more empowering, inspiring, than a rise to glory in the Bush from someone who has been known as a serial power bottom dweller.

We must mention that at this point of the season, after some research and painstaking folder diving, that I have concluded that at this stage of the season, this is the highest average scoring season we have had in recorded Bush history. With three managers in the top 50,000 users of fantasy premier league, and a majority (top 16) of the league in the top 30% of fantasy users in the world...we’ve all really gotta give each other some credit. We’ve come a long way and we’re proud to be apart of the Bush. Well done lads...except you blokes at the bottom...you’re making us all look better but making the league suck....like Sunderland when they were in the Prem. 

But, back to our honourable mentions. We gotta say that two lads who are up and at em are the Tally Tiger Cornerstones Alex “ST/CAM/RW” Horne and and Danny “Ghost Coach” Cotton who each are climbing to staggering heights. Unfortunately, at this stage nose bleeds are all too common and the top 8 sit very close to the next 8 players who are all 6 points or less behind and the next 8 only 9 points or less out of the top 8... CRAZY STUFF.

Down the bottom of the league sits David O’Carroll, now resident bottom bitch after the last two seasons. He used to be a huge force as MVFC, but now, in the Bush’s twisting mess, he has succumbed to casting couch bitch as pillow necklace FC....fitting name really? Let us also not forget our 26th place superstar...former champion...serial passworder...and now resident in the worst photoshop in bush History...the main article photo is not my proudest moment :’(. Rowan “Underage” Flanagan has hit his lowest point. Sitting more than 4 wins off the top 8 and seemingly unable to catch a break. To be honest, if this reporter had his way, he would be on the receiving end of a lot more banter for it. He’s lost 4 in a row, with his most recent defeat being an absolute thrashing by Brock “ashamed Arsenal supporter” Lamont by 83-41. Jeez. Let’s all point and laugh...at least he’s got a good pornstar moustache.

Also Shoutouts are due to Mr Madde “Mr Manager” Bowshire for what can only be described as the most topsy turvy season I’ve watched in a while. One has to wonder if he’s left the Premier League Fantasy app behind as he’s been up, then down, then up and now back down in the bellows of the Bush where he’s made his home for the past Bush Seasons. We reach to him now for comment, tell us all what the plan is, what went wrong and where to now Bowshire? WE WANT YOU TO SUCCEED. WHY WON’T YOU JUST FUCKING DO IT?!

We’re in for a rocky ride this festive season as the fixtures come thick and fast, including some double game weeks right around the corner. AND WILDCARD 2.0 available from the 1st of January!!! In the words of number 1 influential rap recording artist.... LETSKEETTTTIIIIITTT

EASTER EGG TOPIC: RANK MANC VS ABRAMOVIC’S FAVE BUM BUDDY

Bit of a weird headline I know but hey, It’s difficult to sum up the Man City vs Chelsea rift brewing in the league. Harry “Hazard’s Dick Would Be My Lollipop” Kennedy and Riley “I Am The Whiney Misso” Guest have been going head to head. Much to Max “Box On” Haggarty’s delight, the two have been debating the plight of Hazard vs De Bruyne to no end with hilarious results. To stoke the flames the Bush Times asks all of you to weigh in, in the comments of this article, about this fight, about the stats, and to egg on these two to actually “boxing on”. Here’s the stats:
