#haunt/hunt

[dwellordream]

Hey sorry for asking you something again but I’m currently reading your haunt/hunt fic and I really like the vibes of it. Did you had any books that gave you like ideas or something similar for the fic? (The gothic dark vibes?) or not :) or do you have some book recommendations that also have these gothic vibes?

& I am truly amazed by your talent!! I already know its gonna be one of my absolute favorite fanfics its so well written and thought out.

(Sorry If I spelled something wrong,english is not my first language)

Aesthetic and tone wise I think the fic itself was heavily inspired by the short stories of Angela Carter and Catheryne Valente’s book Deathless, as well as many gothic drama movies and shows.

Other books I would recommend:

Fitcher’s Brides by Gregory Frost

In the Dream House and Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado

Fingersmith by Sarah Waters

Mexican Gothic by Silva Moreno Garcia

The Last Tale of the Flower Bride by Roshani Chokshi

Jazz was, at her core, a pessimist.

Oh sure, she wanted the best outcomes and strived to always see the best in people. But listening to her parents talk about and share crime scene photos of someone who was brutally murdered and who may haunt the place they were headed to while true crime podcasts played instead of road trip tunes as they traveled to whatever graveyard had caught their interest had dulled young Jazz's faith in humanity.

Jazz still had memories of a young her standing in an abandoned insane asylum (or abandoned hospital, or old house, or graveyard, or whatever place they dragged her too) holding a small torch with shaky hands and begging to leave because she was terrified "Can we go? Please? this place is scaring me" only to be told "In a minute Jazzy, we down want the ghost getting away."

They had settled down after Danny was born, choosing to stay in one placed instead of traveling all over the country. She still expected them to unexpectedly announce that they were going on the road again, she had plans in case they did (saying she'd stay behind with the van to take care of Danny was better then both of them getting used as ghost bait) But surprisingly they didn't.

And Jazz was thrilled. Sure, she and Danny were known as the kids of the towns crazy ghosthunters, and sure, she basically had to raise her brother since her parents would rarely leave their lab let alone focus on something not ghost related, and yes, she did have to carefully plan out how to use the family's money so that none of them starved.

But no more sleeping in cheap hotels or their van, no more making friends at playgrounds that she'd never see the next day, no more countless hours spent in places where people died, no more English lessons while on the road. She went to school now, she had friends that she saw more than once, she had a home that wasn't filled with cockroaches and the sounds of a argument from the room next door. She had a semi-normal life.

In this time of normality, she relaxed, she let her guard down. Then Danny died and only came back halfway.

And Jazz was back to being that little girl who was scared of ghosts, only this time she was scared for a ghost.

Danny didn't tell her at first, and even though it hurt she understood, and so while she waited for him to tell her, she planned.

She took job after job, from mowing someone's lawn to working at a checkout. Money had been put aside in bags filled with clothes and a pair of new id that she had gotten from Tucker, ("Just in case our parents get classified as supervillains and we need to flee" She said not giving anyway that she knew of Danny's ghostly problem, Tucker had made the id anyway even if he thought she was joking and did not in fact have a plan should that situation happen) One of their neighbors was willing to let her buy their old car despite her family's driving history. A safe house (more like safe apartment) was bought in the only place that was willing to let a teen buy property, Gotham City.

Danny fought numerous enemies until the only enemy that was left was telling their ghost hunter parents that their son was half dead.

Compared to her, Danny was an optimist, seeing the best in everyone without even having to try like she did. Believing that the best would happen like if he didn't, he would break into a million pieces and not know how to put himself together again.

Even though he was scared Danny believed that their parents wouldn't react badly, Jazz hoped they wouldn't but was prepared if they did.

And finally, after many nights spent wide awake in case her parents tried to rip Danny apart molecule by molecule while she slept, the shoe dropped. Their parents loved them, but their work came first, it always came first. Jazz loved her parents, she truly did, but she loved Danny more. And in the end, that made her choice of driving all the way to Gotham with nothing but their go bags all the more easier.

And that was how Jazz and Danny ended up as the neighbors of one Jason Todd.

My favourite piece of TMA canon that no one ever discusses is the fact that Elias has canonically watched at least a little bit of ghost hunt YouTube. Even Martin can’t believe it.

A group of Gotham teens decide to hold a seance at Jason Todd's grave for Halloween. Jason finds out and decides to show up

Hello Miss dwell, I don’t know if you answered this and I missed it, or this didn’t go through the last time, but how does Dana from Haunt/Hunt look like? Ive been itching to draw her, but I don’t remember her ever being described…

“Dana is tall and gawky, all sharp cheekbones and a long neck and knobby arms and legs. Her hair is a thick mane of dark curls that puts Nell’s to shame.” (Chapter 3)

[jadedkneecaps]

Okay guys… I PROMISE this is the last Haunt/Hunt fanart (for now)

Mainly Nell +Robb (also some Dana and Lysara) for @dwellordream

“Why does Nell look so different now? Didn’t she have bangs before?” Uhhhh

Am I a feminist? Yes.

Would I get on my knees and remove Zade Meadow's belt if asked me to? Also, yes.
