Saying Sorry Will Never Be Enough

Feeling a bit angsty so I had this idea.

Danny is dating one of the Bats/Birds, and everything is going great, amazing even! They know each other secrets (from powers to everything etc), they have a wonderful place to live (even if its in Gotham), Danny is in college on the way to becoming a space engineer (and he does side jobs for unrestful ghosts), he's actually getting sleep again since leaving Amity Park, gets along with their friends and family (those who Danny or his partner still talk to, up to the writer), there is even talk about marriage and perhaps adoption/kids in the future between Danny and the Bat/Bird he's dating!

Everything is setting up for a good life in his future, something Danny didn't think could have after his accident. He was happy finally, and currently packing up his old apartment because he's moving in with his partner in a few days.

So he felt like his core was being pulled out of him when he opens his apartment door one day receiving a knock to find his parents, who had hadn't seen since they kicked him out of the house after coming clean about being Phantom (their words of anger and denial that their son was 'dead' and now a monster, still hurt)

Sure they didn't attack him or proclaim he's dead but still their last words and anger HURT.

Danny didn't give them a chance to open their mouths, both looking nervous and guilty, before he slams the door close and turns invisible, grabs his phone, and fly's out of his apartment to his partner's place in a panic attack.

His partner, isn't happy.

"She leaned in and kissed me.

There are no words to describe the pain. My face erupted in boiling agony as I felt my skin start to crack and peel, and the heat washed over me, erasing all thoughts in blistering white.

[...]

I don’t know if I would have had it in me to resist. I just couldn’t avoid being drawn in, like a moth to the flame."

Jack Barnabas can't resist the hot hot woman who happens to be the destined avatar of The Desolation, who can blame him?

ROVING JACK, THE PIRATE HUNTER

Love the dual imagery of the old woman. How she represents both the previous generations that dealt with Mad Jack the first time, and the current generation worrying what their future will be. Will the older version of me look on me kindly? Is that even the older version of me, does that person even survive? Or is it only the past, silently watching us walk into destruction?

The old woman appeared after the the circle was broken, yes, but also after Ruby became aware of her own mortality due to the Doctor’s slip of the tongue.

As a representation of the previous generations, the woman is distant and offputting. Not even the oldest folks in the pub are worried about Mad Jack anymore, and when Ruby tries to bring other people in, tries to let those now-dead generations speak, Ruby becomes the problem.

She’s left to embark on this (in retrospect) decades-long mission virtually alone, getting involved in politics, taking calls, holding coats, pulling every strategic lever available to her even if it means working for this terrible man. She has to, because she’s one of the few people who fully recognize the danger he poses.

And both the past and herself-from-the-future are watching.

SPRING-HEELED JACK by XPHAIEA

First witnessed in the early 19th century, Spring Heeled-Jack was a menacing spectral fiend, who delighted in terrorising London especially frightening young women whose clothing he would tear and personages he would maul at, as well as jumping in the pathway of coaches and causing dreadful accidents.

Jack was popularly imagined to be a tall, thin figure in a long black cloak, with clawed hands and fearsome eyes that "resemble red balls of fire" whilst also also commonly depicted as breathing blue or white flame and emitting a maniacal devilish laugh.

This urban prankster was often depicted in Penny Dreadfuls and other sensation fiction of the Victorian period.

I will try to formulate this better at some later point in time, but:

One of the things I love about Artful Dodger is that they could've very easily looked at the character concept and made Jack Dawkins into a Dr. Asshole a la Gregory House* but they just ... didn't.

The first surgery scene already subverts it.

He may be a snarky, cynical not-so-former thief and an adrenaline junkie, but he's never a jerk to his actual patients (with the brief exception of Sneed after the duel) and is in fact protective of them.

If anything he reminds me more of Dr.McCoy.

And I love it all the more because of his contrast with Belle. Belle who while very well-meaning has a tendency to forget about the patient as a person vs. a steppingstone in the advancement of medical science (which in a way includes herself as well). See their respective reactions to Rotty's surgery or Charlie's infection.

Jack is compassionate and pragmatic and has a greater appreciation for the preciousness of life I think but also has a tendency to settle for less because of this and his past life experiences, whereas Belle is innovative and has excellent theoretical knowledge but has a tendency to rush things in the name of progress.And I think this urgency and ambition and need for distance is also a byproduct of her growing awareness of her own condition and the limited time she has left.
