#danger days fun ghoul party poison fic

[tw1nkd3ath]

i am bored and have had A Long Day so have some party poison headcanons:

•they/them (obviously). their gender is simultaneously every gender and no gender at the same time

•they have borderline personality disorder. this caused them to be extra medicated back in the city. now, they’re finally off of any and all pills, and they’re learning how to actually live with their disorder. loves reading books about mental health, and trying to figure out how to take care of themself.

•speaking of drugs, poison quit the city pills before they escaped the city. they quickly fell into other pills and drugs in the zones though. it was familiar, and it made their brain shut up for once. they have very bad PTSD, more than anyone in the zones. they don’t know just how bad it actually is, and they’ll never speak of it, but the other three know just by the way poison is. they got clean after moving into the diner. they felt safe for once, and the other three were so supportive in keeping them off of drugs. it’s hard to deal with flashbacks and all of that; every day has to be taken one step at a time with them, but they’re making it through.

•loves dancing. more than anything, really. get them drunk and on a dance floor, and their smile is wider than you’ll ever see it. they love parties and clubs, until they don’t and they’re ready to go home. they’ll dance for hours, and all of a sudden they’ll go over to one of the other three and poke them on the shoulder and that’s when they all know they’re getting overstimulated and want to go home and crash.

•yknow how i said they love dancing more than anything? well i lied. the one thing they love more than dancing is singing. they’ll take the AM and go on drives where they sing for miles and miles to whatever’s on the radio. ghoul and kobra make them tapes of their favorite songs, and sometimes the four of them will have carpool karaoke.

•goes for drives to clear their head. they’re normally not allowed to go alone, unless one of the others approves it (poison once wrecked an old car of theirs while angry driving, they don’t wanna talk about it). normally ghoul will go with them, riding shotgun with poison’s hand in theirs. poison drives until they can’t remember what was bothering them when they first turned the key.

•surprisingly a very good cook. them and jet love to cook for the others when they have the ingredients to. poison’s favorite is what they call ‘slutty pasta,’ it’s pasta with a shitload of cheese melted into the sauce. yes, it does make them sick. yes, they will eat it anyway.

•loves looking cute all of the time. even their pajamas are somehow cute and coordinated.

•cannot own un-modified clothes. they have to personalize everything, and they’ve got a whole booth in the diner reserved for whatever patches they’re painting or skirt they’re making or jacket they’re embroidering. dr. death gives the fab four almost all of the art supplies he gets; between poison and kobra they blow through paints and glues and threads and things.

•sketchbooks sketchbooks sketchbooks. they’ve got two right now that they’re working on. they’ll glue/tape little things to the pages, so it’s sort of like a scrapbook with art and writing in it. they will tape literal garbage in it, though. they’ve got the butt of their first cigarette out of the city, a list someone gave them of thrift shops out in the zones, a piece of paper bag ghoul used to scoop weed grounds one time, and so on. the others poke fun of them for this, but they really love how sentimental poison is. show pony has a polaroid camera, and loves to take pictures of their friends and give them the little prints. poison glues them all into their sketchbooks, and looks through them when they’re having a bad day.

•in eating disorder recovery, killjoy style. they hardly ate when jet and ghoul found them and kobra, and they’re trying so hard to help them recover. if poison is struggling to eat a meal in front of them, ghoul will go “hey poison. you’re a pussy if you don’t eat that mac and cheese.” or “you’re not a real killjoy if you don’t eat all those chicken nuggets,” all while sporting a shit-eating grin. poison and kobra have gotten themselves both to a healthy weights finally, and everyone couldn’t be happier.

•cigarettes are their one true love. they first started smoking when they were fourteen. they dislike vaping (even though it’s become quite the fad in the zones, ever since people started smuggling them out of the city), they vaped for around a year and it killed their lungs. cigarettes only for poison, and they’d have it no other way.

•yknow how i said they decorate their clothes? well they also decorate the diner. they’ll hang up art made by them or kobra all over the walls of the diner, and they let kobra paint straight onto the walls.

•loves science for some reason? dr. death gives them all sorts of books on biology and animals and ecosystems and such, and they absolutely love it. they wanna be a biologist in another life. they love teaching the others about shit they read, like animal facts and such. kobra will listen to poison infodump for hours.

that is all for now thank you

out here in the desert, your shadow lives on without you (otherwise known as grief, in five acts)

[ID: a digital drawing of the girl from a high angle —her head is tilted, eyes tearing up angrily. large, shadow-like figures of the fabulous four stretch out behind her, each of them faceless and pictured in the position of their death. party poison’s chin is tilted upwards, jet star is outstretched, limbs askew, fun ghoul raises his arm, aiming their ray gun, and kobra kid falls backward, arm limply falling to his side and head turned away./end ID] 

inspired by @graffitibible / @omegalomania’s incredible fic i’m not a messiah (just a mess)

[chaoticbuggybitchboy]

Party “I’m scared” Poison + Fun “you can do it scared and I’m right here to hold you if it all becomes too much” Ghoul and also Fun “it hurts so bad to be a person” Ghoul + Party “I’ll hold you close until the pain goes away” Poison.

i need to be put down

[jetstargf]

long time no fic, so a secret third installment of jetpoison dads universe is up!

here is a kobra kid pov oneshot called watch it grow as the tear stain dries (2.1k), previously titled kobra kid in suffer city. hope u enjoy!

summary: Somewhere along the way, between Fun Ghoul joining them and when the Girl showed up, Kobra found himself at the bottom of Party’s list. (or, kobra kid has mixed feelings about adopting a six year old.)

[hum--hallelujah]

a list of Fab Four thoughts:

Jet is the oldest but Party is the most charismatic. Party is the official leader of the crew and occasionally defensive over that role but generally the two of them co-lead

Kobra calls people "babe" or "baby" or "darlin'," but ONLY under extreme stress or if the other person is distressed. it doesn't matter who it is. it just happens

(no one even realizes that he picked it up from Party, who uses terms of endearment VERY liberally)

Ghoul would absolutely set something on fire just to watch it burn. in fact he HAS

Ghoul's facial scar is his own doing (AO3)

the Trans Am was originally just Jet's. he was a Zonerunner before meeting Party and Kobra and the 'Am was his vehicle of choice

Jet lost his eye as a result of chemical burning following a car accident — he opened the hood to check the damage and took a blast of pressurized, superheated chemicals to the face. he's lucky he only lost one eye

Ghoul was Zone-born and raised in a crew that took each other as extended family. he had a sister.

Party realized he and Kobra had to get out of the city after he watched their mother die and be replaced by a BL/ind bio-bot

Kobra and Ghoul use physically fighting as a love language

one of the Four's primary talents is saving people being trafficked across the Zones. Zonerunners aren't all good, altruistic smugglers like the one who got Jet out of the City. some of them deal in bodies, but in the bad way. when Jet was a 'Runner, he had a penchant for taking those runs and freeing the captives. now all four of them do it

Kobra's motorbike is named Mirage

Ghoul is the only other person allowed to work on it

Kobra and Ghoul share a room ever since The Incident

(The Incident is only ever referred to as The Incident. this is both collectively for the bit and also because nobody actually likes to talk about those events.)

Party's first weapon after getting out of Battery City was an oversized baseball bat studded with nails. Kobra's was his feet and then, later, his fists

(he kicked Dr. D in the shins once in a fit of reckless anger. Dr. D showed him how to hold his hand, thumb outside the fist, to really hit someone and make it count.)

Ghoul watched his entire family die.

(he imprinted on Party when they first met because of this. like recognizes like. it takes one to know one. kids who have seen their parents die recognize that in each other.)

Kobra repeats himself a lot. not quite a stutter, but also not quite not. sometimes he just gets stuck.

Jet is the most openly physically affectionate. Ghoul is the most clingy. there's a difference.

when they first formed their crew, their ages were, from youngest to oldest, 13 (Ghoul), 14 and a half (Kobra), 16 (Party), and 18 (Jet).

they would all, and this is not even a question, not even a headcanon, it just makes sense as a conclusion: they would all kill or die for each other. but it depends on the day and the time and how hungry they are if they'd ever admit it.

party poison coming home from some party out in the zones a little too drunk. they stumble in the door and everyone immediately wakes up, they’re crashing into walls and knocking things over and jet runs to help steady them. they sit them down at a booth and they fall over and shut their eyes :( ghoul and kobra are squished by their side trying to wake them up and get them water, while jet’s in the kitchen heating up whatever leftovers they’ve got. ghoul and kobra eventually wake them up, as jet sits across from them. poison sits upright slumped over the table, making a little too much eye contact with jet. their eyes are trying so hard to roll back and close but they’re trying so so hard to stay awake as jet spoon feeds them and ghoul occasionally holds a straw with water to their lips.

‘you gotta cut back honey’ ghoul says into their ears. ‘it’s every night now you’re comin’ home wasted’

‘iknowiknowiknow’ poison slurs and ghoul just wraps his his arms around them. ‘’m soberin’ up n’ i don’t wanna’

jet looked at poison with just a twinge of hurt in her eyes. ‘too bad, you need to sober up. you can’t walk in a straight line let alone do anything else. keep drinking water and please eat another bite or two for me’ she says as she strokes poison’s hand gently.

they hated being sober. but with jet and ghoul and kobra? being sober all of a sudden didn’t seem too scary anymore.

as we’re all alone tonight wraps up, what would you guys most be interested in reading next?

I’d like to write most of these at some point, I probably will just pick whatever I want but I’m still interested in yalls answer

[blood-injections]

Venom siblings that got separated when they were young teens. They each search for the other but never find each other and don't meet again until years later as killjoys and they don't recognize each other because they're both full grown and also they both transed their genders. It isn't until they've been in the fab four together for several months and they're all having a bff bonding session and talking about how they became killjoys and stuff that they put the pieces together and realize they're each other's long lost sibling.

Kobra: yeah when I was like twelve I got separated from my brother and I was never able to find him

Poison: that's so weird I lost my sibling when I was young too I was never able to find her either

Kobra: wow what a coincidence we're both missing siblings the ages line up too. too bad our genders are off or we could totally be each other's long lost sibling

Jet: ...

Ghoul: ...

Kobra and Poison: wait-

poison’s very good danger days fic list after aprox. 1 yr in the fandom. (and only spending 4m of that time reading anything bc it’s got the attention span of a bumblebee.) (all on ao3, i dont have the spoons to link them all rn) (i think several of these are really popular but theyre also good so we should be celebrating)

Angels From The Neon, by The9thDoctor

The first Danger Days fic i read on a whim, did not read the word count and got completely caught up in it and had to read it twice again the first time i read it. Singlehanded fucked over my interpretations of Party Poison for the rest of my life. Also fucked up my brain chemistry. I don’t remember much that happens for Reason + i havent read it in forever. 

One shot, but 44 thousand words

Understanding a Car Crash, by Magazine_Immortals

Emotions like a car crash. Short and to the point. I think about this specific fic at least twice a week at this point. 

One shot

doesn’t all have to be destruction, by spellingbee

My favorite danger days multichap fic. I love this fic so much. I cannot stand nor put into words how much i love this fic. Party Poison x Jet Star and theres superpowers. I will say nothing else except that this fic has better plot and characters than big films with multimillion dollar budgets. 

Multichap fic, long novel length

The Science of Sleep, by chimneythunder

This one!! Oh my god this ones neat, its got like a trope/plot thats been used loads but it does not feel tired in this and doesnt lower the stakes. Very solid as a story. Frank is the main character, and it starts before the Great Fires of 2012. 

Multichap fic, novel length

We Stole the Fire and its Burning Bright, by demondogs

Party Poison in the zones with a supernatural twist (the magnus archives [the fear entities]). This also fucked how i think of poison, i cant untangle them from this fic for this life of me. So many different feelings poured into a 7,967 length fic. If i can never write something that makes someone feel the way this made me feel there js no point in existing. 

One shot

I Believe We’re the Enemy, by Test_subject_306

Uhh probably the most angsty one on this list (possibly rivaled by doesnt all have to be destruction, but that one has balance) follows frank and is pretty funpoison centric. Angst. I thijk ill cry if i think abt it for too long. 

Multichap, long novel

A Spark Set to Flame, by turps

The vibes in this one are phenomenal. Im pretty sure its their origins/coming into their own as killjoys. Pretty tense & great dynamics

One shot, fairly long

Ones either in the process of getting to or have downloaded to read: (which i think are all multichap but im not sure)

don’t tell me to rest in peace while you’re still picking the bones of my memory, by omegalomania

Draculoids Will Never Hurt You, by sassbandit_were_duck

In Sand Dunes You Are Walking, by Alenoriana

the rise and fall of party poison, by KilltheDJ

Playground Eyes, by spellingbee

We’re All Just Born To Descend, by cedarbranch

And everything else by spellingbee and cedarbranch (unless by some evil twist of fate i wind up disliking we’re all just born to descend)

*also dont forget to read tags if you need to, several of these also have tws per chapter. Im sensitive to about 1 rare thing so i do not pay attention.
