#dannymay day 20

[jamiethebeeart]

After Danny has calmed down enough to not attack on sight they visit the Nasty Burger

[five-rivers]

A drabble for the original pitch AU. :)

.

“Dude,” said Tucker in tones of disbelief and betrayal, “why did you get the tofu burger?”

“It turns out that mind-melding with someone you barely know has side effects.”  Danny poked sadly at his patty.

“Why would eating tofu be a side effect of telepathy you can barely use?”

“Did- Do you not know that Manson's a vegetarian?  Eating meat makes me feel nauseous.”

“Wow, as soon as I think she can't get any worse…”  Tucker shook his head.  “How's Spooky holding up?”

Danny snorted.  “I'm not going to put an owl on a vegetarian diet.  I'm not a moron.”

DANNYMAY DAY 20: Pact

Day 19 • Day 21

⟢ Dude, for REAL. I struggled SO MUCH with this piece. The day I sketched it, I couldn’t draw. So messed up. I don’t really like how it turned out, but it’s fineeee. I don’t like the background either. (More under the cut)

Context: Danny asks Val for a deal, a pact—a truce. Because he’s tired of being hunted by the girl he likes. And Val is just like… “huh?”

Dannymay Days 9 & 20: Underground/Pact

decided to combine two prompts this time and do a corpse au type thing. basically danny splits into fun and super in canon typical shenanigans, and fun ends up dying in a ghost attack, leaving super alone to try and figure out how to bring danny back whole. i imagine this taking place in like the summer before danny planned to leave for uni, just when things seemed to be going well for him.

EDIT: continuation here

DannyMay 2025 Day 20: Pact

Drew Wulf making a pact with Danny. Danny has the bestest boy’s protection for the rest of his after life!

[invis-o-william]

Dannymay 2025 - Day 20: Pact

It was a sunny Saturday afternoon when William Lancer's doorbell rang, its cheerful melody echoing throughout the house. The balding teacher looked up from his spot in the kitchen at the wall-mounted clock. 

‘3:30, perfectly on time,’ he thought as he placed the tray of finger sandwiches he was holding on the counter and hurried to the door, forgetting to remove his apron in the process. 

Swinging open the door revealed a man cloaked in an unseasonably long coat, the collar turned up to hide the man's identity. This didn't do him much good though, considering the strange grey color of the man's skin paired with his glowing ghostly aura. He looked a little ridiculous, all things considered. 

Lancer leaned outside and took a quick glance up and down the sidewalk, sighing with relief when he spotted no one nearby.

“Glad to see you made it, Ghost Writer. Did you bring what was promised?” The teacher asked.

The ghost scoffed, “Of course. I would never go back on my end of the bargain.” He lifted the corner of his coat revealing a satchel hidden by his side. “Now are you going to let me in, or should I continue to try my luck evading those distasteful governmental goons?”

Lancer stepped back, gesturing the ghost across the threshold and closing the door behind him. Ghost Writer looked Lancer up and down. 

“Nice apron.” he commented with a smirk. Blushing, Lancer hurriedly pulled the offending article off, balling it up so the text ‘Kiss the Cook’ was no longer visible and throwing it at his shoe rack.

“Why were you wearing a disguise? couldn't you have just turned invisible and flown here?” he said in an act to divert the ghost’s attention.

Ghost Writer froze in the act of shrugging off his coat and groaned, his one free hand reaching up and dragging across the ghost’s tired face. 

“Ancients, this is why I don't leave my library,” he complained, and slipped off the rest of his bulky coat before hanging it on the nearby hook. “Now, do you have a proper place where we can get on with business, William?”

“Yes of course, my sitting room is right over here.” Lancer gestured and led the ghost across the entry hall. Ghost Writer quickly took a seat in a worn, overstuffed chair before rummaging through his bag and producing a document and pen. Lancer raised an eyebrow questioningly at the sight.

“Really? You wrote it out and everything?” he asked. The ghostly author nodded.

“Of course. Ultimately I need some sort of guarantee of my safety in this manner. Not that I don’t trust your word, William.”

Lancer took the document and scanned it over, checking the language of the contract before nodding and looking over at the ghost once more.

“You’re sure you don’t wish to ask for anything more out of our bargain? It doesn’t seem like you’re getting a lot out of this?” He gestured to the contract in hand.

“Trust me, my benefit is just the same as yours. You would be appalled at the lack of intelligent minds in the Infinite Realms.” he sniffed. 

With a musing nod, Lancer signed his name on the paper before watching it disappear with a snap of the ghost’s fingers. 

“Well, now that that’s been sorted, may I see our next month’s endeavor?”

Ghost Writer smiled and produced two leather bound books from his bag. “As promised, William Shakespeare’s lost work, The History of Cardenio. First editions too, I might add.”

Lancer stared at the book he was handed with wide eyes, holding it almost reverently as he traced the lettering on the cover. 

“The Quest of the Holy Grail!” he cradled the book almost reverently. “Never in all my years did I think I’d be able to read a lost work of Shakespeare’s.” He looked back up at Ghost Writer with a grin. “When shall we have it read by?”

The ghost chuckled as he leaned back in his chair. “How about a month from now? That should give you enough time to pour over the Bard’s words a time or two, yes?”

Lancer gleefully nodded before carefully setting the book down on his coffee table and sitting across from his ghostly guest. “Now, I believe we were to discuss our first book, Northanger Abbey?”

“Of course, that is what this Literature Society is for, is it not?” Ghost Writer said, before launching into his thoughts on Catherine Morland’s inability to detach her fantasies from reality.

.   .   .

Danny was walking down the street when his ghost sense went off unexpectedly. Looking around, he realized that something in the house in front of him was causing it. Walking up to the door, he was able to hear animated conversation emanating from inside.

“...exactly! Austen’s criticisms of romanticizing gothic fiction are so poignant!  I’m so glad you agree, Ghost Writer.”

“It’s truly incredible that she can effectively relay her thoughts into a satire, while still showing the impacts in a way that speaks to the reader. And please William, call me Charles…”

Danny was bewildered. How did Ghost Writer manage to befriend his English teacher? What the heck were they discussing? Backing up off the porch, Danny decided that whatever Mr. Lancer and Ghost Writer were up to, it was probably best to leave it alone.

DannyMay 2025 #20 Pact

Master Post

Toddler-Danny grows up.

When Danny learned about pinky promises, he made them with everyone. He made his sister promise to tie his shoes. He made Tucker promise to be his friend. He made his stuffed astronaut promise to play with him.

But when his parents made a promise to him, they didn’t keep it.

“Mommy, Daddy?” Danny asked, carefully climbing down the stairs to the lab.

“Danno,” Daddy said, “you’re not supposed to be down here!”

“How did you get the door open?” Mommy asked.

“Jazzy,” Danny said. “Will you pinky promise me?”

Mommy stopped her work to pick him up. “What do you want to pinky promise?”

“Will you take care of me and Jazzy?” Danny asked, his blue eyes looking intently at his mother. “You work too much.”

“Oh, sweetie,” Mommy said, holding out her pinky, “of course we will. We love you so much!”

Danny shook her pinky firmly. “Daddy, you too.”

Daddy came over and sealed the pact with a smile.

Mommy put Danny down and said, “Now, run along. We have to finish our work.”

“But you pinky promised!” Danny whined, holding onto her leg.

“Yes, after we’re done,” Daddy said. “We’ll take care of you, Danno. Don’t you worry.”

Satisfied, Danny made his way up the stairs. He was so excited for them to keep their promise. He waited in the kitchen all day.

But it was Jazzy who made dinner that night, and Jazzy who tucked him in.

“Mommy and Daddy pinky promised,” Danny said on the point of tears. “Why aren’t they taking care of us?”

“I’m so sorry, Danny,” was all Jazzy could say. She read him a bedtime story to help him sleep.

That was the last time he made a pinky promise.

A/N: Awww, poor Danny!

DannyMay Day 20: Pact

A bit late, but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to throw in some more of my crossover AU.

Some context, Aaron is one of my own characters from an original story. The basis of the plot involves some bad people overthrowing him because he's the Witch King. In order to keep him out of their way for good, they bind his soul to an object called the Void Obsidian, but it doesn’t quite do as they thought it would. Instead of pulling him into the Endless Void, Aaron begins to get dragged through various other dimensions for countless years.

The crossover AU was an idea that involved Aaron getting dragged into the Ghost Zone and Danny, the Ghost King in this au, trying to help him unbind his soul from the Obsidian.

DannyMerMay 2024

Day 1: Insect/Anchor

The return of Little Baby Moth! (From last year DannyMay)

Something happened since last time the two of them met, so LBMo is reasonably surprised to see Little Baby Man Mer's new form... or is this just an alternative dimension iteration of LBM (by @tourettesdog)? 🤔

(Keep reading to find the answer!)

@pikakaistudios Little Baby Mer inspired me in doing my own, so Kudos and credits where are due!

More fanarts and lore under the cut because it was getting long...

(^～^;)ゞ

Prompt for DannyMay by @dannymayevent and MerMay by @vladdyissues.

〜(꒪꒳꒪)〜

Since I'm a serial procrastinator and I wanted to be sure the art pieces were at least decent/accurate, I was almost late (but thank CW that I did, because some of them had the wrong orca-pattern and I would have brought disgrace upon myself if I published anything not done right since orcas are one of my favorite animals).

That being said, let's continue the DannyMerMay journey!

Day 12: Time Travel/Seafood

My poor Mer-boy got yoinked temporalily into the past when he was still Danny (so even before the "normal" LBM-fication) and he's feeling reeeaaally distressed at the act of practically cannibalism that his past-self is committing...

(≧∇≦)

Day 2+4+29: Wish/Starfish + Wander/Night + Fireworks/Bioluminescence

Wandering in the night, some interesting encounters are bound to happen...

I wonder what would happen if you wish upon a(n alien) star(fish)...

(≧∇≦)

Day 19+20: Iron/Pearl + Pitch AU/Abyss

LBMer found a his rightful Crown (of Fire) sunk into the depths of the ocean!

But since it was rusty and forgotten, what better way to restore it than ghostly mother pearl?

(Works like ghostly ice, but it's an exclusive power of LBMer.)

(The Crown got bigger than canon, but he smol!)

Day 26: Shoes/Camouflage

They say that imitation is one of the best form of flattery, but when you don't want to get caught by a certain dimensional hopper (and be mistaken for one of his foes), it's the best way to blend in!

(Octopi can camouflage in ways that make you think that magic is real...)

ฅ^≧ﻌ≦^ฅ

(Little Baby Terror unfortunately got caught in the same "accident" that LBM did, so they generally prefer to stick together-ish in case they need help.)

Day 16+22: Glowing Veins/Courtship + Song Lyrics/Songs

I couldn't help myself and sneaked in some Everlasting Trio for the soul.

After all, LBM (and therefore LBMer) is still Danny, even if he has new form(s) and instincts.

They do incarnate the "Would you still love me if I was a worm?", don't they?

(◡̀_◡́)

Song: A Sky Full of Stars by Coldplay

(It feels such a Danny song to use, plus I checked how orcas court and while there's some posturing, they also sing! It felt only natural from there... >:3c)

Day 11: Mutation/Shell(s)

And finally: the answer!

LBM found this weird shell on the beach while they were on vacation, but when he checked it (read: nibbed it), it reacted and tooted a magical cloud that mutated our Little Baby Man into a Mer!

(The same fate happened to Dani/Little Baby Menace and Dan/Little Baby Terror, changing them into a Seahorse Mer and Octopus Mer respectively.

I've got a lineart done of them for another prompt, but I didn't manage in time to clean and color it yet, along with a couple of others... ( ≧Д≦) )

This has two versions because I couldn't decide which was better. @teacupsandstarlight suggested the first because of the transforming smoke around our boi, but since I saved both, I told myself: why not upload both?

For now, that's all! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

I still have some linearts to finish/digitalize/color, but at least I contributed to these two fantastic events, hope y'all enjoyed them and my works!

Hope to type ya soon! ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ

Psychic Link

Sharing a psychic link allows Sam plenty of opportunities to have visions of Danny's many embarrassing moments.

Dannymay Day 20: Pitch AU

Repost, because tumblr tags system is crazy again.

Jack -- 45 - Danny's dad - isn't much help. Test pilot, engineer, ex-spy… you name it, he's done it. He was one big, gigantic risk taker until he finally took the biggest risk of all and settled down with Madison.

I kinda like this version of Jack more, you can say he is the Jack of all trades (Ha!).

Imagine he stayed that way, it could bring an interesting dynamic with the fenton parents ghost hunting activities. Maddie is more the traditional fighter who would fight ghosts (and Danny) with more textbook methods and Jack always comes with unpredictable methods which could keep Danny on his toes. Well, they kinda did this aspect in the show with his weird inventions but it just could be more, even crazier stuff with the knowledge he would have gained in the differents jobs. It could also explain Danny's adaptibilty in fights, he inherited from Jack.

DANNYMAY DAY 19: Enemy

Day 18 • Day 20

⟢ Well, this was a quick one! The ultimate enemy is still Dan, Dark Danny. YES. (Process video under the cut)

[burntsora-deactivated20203]

dannymay 2025 again ! prompt 11 this time to make up for missed days. I'm slowly but surely catching up :')

DAY 11 -- Prompt: Thermis

author: burntsora

length: 698 words

ao3 link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/65566201

only registered users can read it on ao3

Danny glanced at the Thermos as it shook where it was on its belt. It wasn’t doing so often, but it was worrying him a bit. He’d been busy today and had caught far more ghosts than he normally would, and he was currently worrying over whether or not the thermos could handle that many ghosts.

He had texted Tucker and Sam to meet him at the lab 10 minutes ago and was currently flying there himself. Best case scenario, they’d just find something wrong with the thermos and tweak it a bit. Worst case scenario, they’d have to re-make the thermos.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The three of them were currently discussing plans to build a new thermos. The old one was just that—old. It couldn’t hold too many ghosts as they’d recently found out, and there were a few ideas the three had drawn up on a whiteboard while they brainstormed.

“I mean, the gauge light is a good idea, but how are you going to build that in?” Asked Sam, leaning against a wall as she asked Tucker.

“We could just make a scale that shows, like, ‘20+’ or something,” suggested Danny, shrugging. Tucker shrugged as well and wrote it on the board under the idea.

“It’s good, but we still need to figure out how to build the rest of the thermos. Danny, do you parents have their blueprints or notes around here somewhere?” Tucker moved from the board to a table full of papers haphazardly thrown onto it.

Danny and Sam walked over, moving to help search. “Yeah, they should be somewhere in there. Maybe check the drawers? It’s a bit of an old invention, so I don’t think it’d be up here.”

After a couple minutes of searching (and accumulating a good pile of papers where they sat), Same shot up, a grin on her face as she held a paper in her hand. “Found it!”

The other two stood up and gathered around, moving papers aside as needed as they looked through the paper.

The messy, crumpled paper with more hand scribbles and corrections than actual information. Danny sighed.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Danny’s pretty sure whatever was left of his brain had slipped out somewhere and gone on a nice walk. Maybe through the park, with ice cream afterwards. A nice movie. He wouldn’t know, because he’d been cooped up in this room for hours and there wasn’t a single thought left in his head anymore.

He’s pretty sure Sam’s half asleep, mostly just nodding along to whatever was being said, but Tucker’s still going strong.

“So, the thermos works by acting as a combination of a vacuum and an ectoplasmic storage, with the inside having some sort of ectophylic substance woven into it to attract the ectoplasm. There are magnetic components somewhere, which suggest some sort of polarity but I’m not sure where that even comes in, but I guess we could just copy the same design of it-”

“Tucker. It has been literal hours since we started. I think we should take a break. Call it a day.”

Danny nodded at Sam’s words, starting to nod off as well. “Yeah, I agree. You can take the blueprints with you, if you want. But I’m so, so tired.”

Tucker just shrugged and took a picture of the whiteboard before erasing it, grabbing the blueprints, and dragging the mostly asleep Sam out of the lab. “Sounds good enough. Seems like I’m the only one working on this, too.”

Danny just nodded before yawning and closing his eyes, resting on the head of his seat. He vaguely heard Tucker say something about text updates.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Danny awoke, it was to the sound of his parents messing around in the lab. He heard his dad walk up to him.

“Fell asleep workin’ eh, Danno? Just like your mother and I!”

Dany grumbled and slowly awoke before he pulled out his phone, feeling a vibration from it. He saw 128 unread messages from the groupchat, all from Tucker, with the most recent one reading ‘omw to Danny’s house with the finished thermos!’

Danny just sighed and ran a hand down his face. He loved his friends, really, but come on!
