SoonâŚ
Phantom Rivals is a fic Iâve wanted to write since the idea hit me one morning at work- what if Danny had a proper antihero rival and who better to fill that roll than another half ghost?! Specifically the son of Vlad Masters- Marcus Masters aka Alucard Plasmius.
The fic is meant to be a retelling of the first 2 seasons with the addition of Marc/Aluc and his family and how they- as a family of half ghosts- interact with Danny. Iâm still in the outline phase- cherry-picking episodes that either have Vlad in them or would be entertaining if Marc was there to cause problems as well as devising new âepisodesâ just for the two of them. There will be an overarching plot centered on Vlad as the final BBEG.
If you have questions or episode suggestions please drop them in the comments or my ask box!

So the world is full of problems and being a naive 12 yo, Dani thinks she can fix those problems.
So she follows the best example.
Red hood
And she becomes a crime boss.
And sheâs far better than anyone would think. Discreetly taking over various mafias around the world.
Eventually, the anti ecto acts are put in place worldwide.
So Dani (17) and Jazz (21)move to the only place that has citizens that would willingly lie to the government. Danny is in the ghost zone, attempting to evacuate all ghosts on earth dnd then get to work trying to dismantle the AEA. A process that could take over a year or so.
So Dani moves most of her forces to Gotham.
In my mind, Daniâs mobster name is Fantasma btw and her henchmen/loyal workers are called the Draugur.
But Gotham is cursed and over run with violent ghosts, and because Jazz has collage (transferred from Central Collage) and has to keep a job she canât handle the ghosts.
So Dani is now moonlighting as the vigilante Wraith.
And Jazz is making her go to school during the day (Gotham academy)
While sheâs in Gotham, Fantasma catches the attention of the bats because theyâre not going to miss what is obviously a big player with a reputation coming into Gotham.
So they send a bat to go undercover
Damian
Damian is like 17 and has just transitioned out of Robin (you can decide whos Robin in his place) and is now (what we vigilante you what him to be, but Iâm using Nocturne in this post)
For his first solo mission, he goes undercover as a henchman in the Draugurs. (He wears a mask so he doesnât get discovered at a Wayne/bat). The only information the bats have is that Fantasma is around his age.
Unsurprisingly, heâs really good at undercover work.
He (undercover name is Crow) quickly makes his way up the ranks.
And he eventually meets the boss Fantasma and becomes her right hand.
And eventually begins to fall for her.
At the same time, heâs trying to catch the new antihero Wraith, who is a very flirty pain in the butt. Heâs also been assigned to be the partner of a new student in his class, Danielle, who is incredibly ditzy and clumsy. But sheâs not stupid, Damian knows better than to assume that. Especially when she scores highly than him on their geography test.
Basically an entire love hexagon AU including
- henchmen x boss
- vigilante x vigilante/antihero
- academic rivals AU
Relationship guide
Fantasma x Crow- boss that trust her second hand with her life despite not know in his real name. Henchman that is slowly catching feelings and becoming very guilty for lying to her
Nocturne x Wraith- vigilante is getting increasingly irritated by the new Antihero, who thinks the vigilante is hot and flirts with him the entire time theyâre together
Dani x Damian- klutzy, clumsy, and popular student ends up having a rivalry with perfect, cold, and outcast over grades and tests. They hate each other.
I love this prompt, and thereâs so much I could add to this.
Any thoughts? Would love to hear them!! :))

okay so i was thinking of a joke earlier about how in DPDC Amity Park's slogan "a great place to live" is not only city propaganda but also the city lording it over the rest of America for being normal. But then I remembered that, despite how many DCU Cities with heroes in it there are, the amount of cities in America without heroes still far outnumber the amount of cities in America WITH heroes.
So I did a little digging so the joke would still land. Something most heroes have in common is that they operate in major cities. What makes a major city? I found that the general consensus is that the population is roughly over or around a million. THEN I looked up the populations of cities in the DCU that I thought of off the top of my head. So Gotham, Metropolis, Starling City, Central City, Jump City. All of them ranked up to millions in population (most of them were in the tens of millions).
Amity Park's wikipedia describes it as being similar to specifically Philadelphia, Chicago, and San Francisco.
Philadelphia's Population: 1.576 million as of 2021 Chicago's Population: 2.697 million as of 2021 San Francisco: 815,201 as of 2021
Whiiich means that Amity Park if we take that from canon, is probably a major city. There are approximately 19,000 cities in America with probably less than a hundred that are major cities. Adding the DCU major cities wouldn't skew the data too much.
Which MEANS that I can make the joke that Amity Park's "great place to live" is not only just typical city propaganda, but also its Amity Park lording it over the other major cities for being one of the only major cities that doesn't have problems bad enough to warrant a superhero or a vigilante. Cue stage left the Fentons and Phantom :)
Amity Parkers were probably SO proud that they didn't need a superhero. They didn't have to worry about things like 'world ending threats' and 'super-powered individuals' and 'staggering property damage'. And then enter Fentons.
It also could be used as an excuse for why nobody took notice to Amity Park getting ghosts if folks like me aren't huge fans of the notion of a media blackout via Tucker, Technus, or the US Government. Or if you want to keep Amity Park as its urban city self. Amity Park's news on ghosts gets drowned out in a week because there's news on more popular, well-known cities going on every other day. The shit going on in Amity Park is every other major city's regular Tuesday and it gets filtered as such.
#dp x dc#dp x dc crossover#dpxdc#dpdc#plus amity suddenly going 'we have ghosts' could be seen as a case of city-wide FOMO finally hitting so nobody believes them#and thats if the belief of ghosts not being real is as strong as it is in dp canon#the media blackout could also be /city-induced/ too#where amity parkers are so proud of being 'normal' and 'not having superheros' that many of them try and deny the existence of Phantom#and the mayor and news sources themselves just. stubbornly refuse to let news of ghosts get out to the other cities#do you know how much shit they'll get?? they'll be a laughingstock!#gothamites would never leave them alone. neither would central city or the metropolitans or starling city or--#the other big cities will make fun of them :(#my new favorite hc that stemmed from this is that every major city in the dcu is rivaling with each other#there's a lot you can experiment with this idea imo lmao#this whole post sums up my writing and thinking process pr well tbh#this stemmed because im making a childhood friends au short story doc and wanted to avoid the typical tropes about how AP went undetected#from the rest of the US. bc. im not a fan of the media blackout idea via tucker/technus/gov and i wanted to keep AP an urban city#so i had to come up with something else#hence me looking into DCU cities and how many there are and realizing that there is a decent amount of other cities other than the main#popular ones and being DELIGHTED because then i could use that as an excuse for why amity went overlooked. bc there are many cities with#heroes in it. so its not surprising if another city gets a hero TOO. plus the news also focusing on more popular heroes and cities so again#the news of amity getting a hero gets drowned out by whatever new thing the JL or someone from the JL did that week

Dp x dc
Bruce x Danny
Enemies to rivals to friend to lovers!
Batman meets Phantom. Phantom meets Batman.
They dont like each other.
Phantom despises that furry wannabe hero that couldn't deal with his own rougues, let so many people die and have contingency plans not just for him but for all his friends, family and acquaintances.
Batman despises the ghost that is too stubborn to accept help and end causing too much property damage and who his plans could be never be sure that they'll work.
Batman paranoia vs phantom paranoia
They both agree in see each other just the necesary.
The problem: they didnt count in that their kids/family would become curious.
The batkids look for this phantom guy just to annoy bruce. They end adopted by Danny in less than a day, now they have one new dad, two uncles and one sister. They dont complain.
Meanwhile, Danielle in playing pranks on the new billionaire enemy of her dad, Bruce obviously finds it out and Danielle bond with the dark knight, the bat kids and Alfred (but not before a fight, she is a phantom, she won't trust a furry vigilante billionaire with adoption problems easily)
The kids begin to go house to house until Danny and Bruce notice it. Which took an embarrassing amount of time.
Both confront each other about stealing their kid(s), and after a long discusion, they end in a co-parenting agreement, realizing that both have too many resposabilities and some issues and that for it their kid(s) end looking other adult to pass time and help them.
Slowly their burning hate become in heated rivalry about who their kids like more, the kids are in heaven.
Now, how their rivalry morphed into a friendship with afternoons drinking chocolate while they exchange anecdotes of their kids shenenigans, struggles and likes, and then end with them kissing in the throne room in front of the council. They don't know.
And for their kids shocked faces they don't know either.
While this was happening Alfred took the money that a very surprised Tucker gave him
He knew it since the start.
#danny phantom#dp x dc#ghost king au#bruce wayne#damian wayne#jason todd#batfam#danielle#tim drake#dick grayson#bruce x danny#enemies to rivals to friend to lovers#co parenting#found family#alfred knew since the start#bruce has a type#his kids will tease him for it#after they recover from the shock

More thoughts on a DP/DC thing with the Viking OC:
Revenants are people who came back screaming because of their deaths. Who died in pain and came back a little bit wrong. Who exist in a half awake state for a few years before going feral and rampaging. They have Ghost cores but they arenât like regular ones. Half formed and leaking in them, they need ectoplasm to survive. They can draw it in from their surroundings but most Revenants canât get enough unless theyâre around places with a lot or unless a ghost takes pity. Thatâs what happened to Viking.
Viking (Viv now as I need a name) is old as fuck and decided to retire for a bit. She went to Gotham where the grumpy woman isnât that weird, even if sheâs built tall and strong and has sharp teeth. Sheâs been there for five years when the baby Revenant known as Red Hood shows up. Viv fucks with him because 1) territory issues. 2) why not? 3) she isnât interested in dealing with a rampaging baby Revenant.
Now, the Lazarus Pits are corrupted ectoplasm and are dangerous. All ecto-beings know to stay the fuck away. Sure it gives you epic powers⌠but at what cost?!? Your well being, sanity and just in general yourself.
Viv canât sense Red Hoodâs being but she does see him bleed and sees the flecks of Ecto. Ecto thatâs wrong. It clicks.
And sheâs mad. You see: Viv HATES the LOA because she was killed by Raâs, and despite murdering him multiple times he keeps coming back due to the contaminated Ecto in his veins. She loathes him so much. (Because she canât die until he does and sheâs forever stuck on the mortal plane because of him.) So seeing a Revenant walk around FULL of that shit pisses her off. So she straps on her armour (she commissioned it cause heroes are a thing and she was BORED) and goes to confront the Red Hood. Full on tackles him while heâs doing some villain shit and punches him.
âWhat THE FUCK IS A LEAUGE BITCH DOING HERE YOU PUSS RIDDLED BITCH FUCK?!â Sheâs safe from her ectoplasm being taken because one side effect of the Pit is that Jason can make his own ecto itâs just contaminated.
âWHAT THE FUCK?!â Jason shouts back and itâs this massive fight where Jason begins freaking out because uhh⌠whatâs going on?! Why is he not being hurt to bad?! WhatâŚ
Viv suddenly sees his freaking out and pauses. Cause like: she honestly thought he knew. Like she thought he KNEW he was a Revenant and willingly jumped into the Pit butâŚ
â⌠youâre aware youâre a Revenant right?!â
âWhat?!?â
â⌠ohâŚâ
And out spills the explanation to him. Which is⌠interesting. More interesting is one dumbasss live-streaming it. So like these two powerful beings are spilling info.
âSo like who murked you anyway brat?â Viv asks.
âJoker.â
âOh shit. How?â
And that spirals into him spilling he was Robin and his plots andâŚ
â⌠okay you know what? Iâm taking you to the Amity Park. I gotta get you to the Infiinte Realms. Thatâs nutcase talk meaning the contamination is FUCKED. Yetis can heal you. Maybe.â And Viv, being powerful and older, just kidnaps Jason. Points at a random henchman. âYou. Youâre in charge for now. The whole crimelord thing will help with the rampaging instincts he has right now so heâll keep it.â
What are morals to an immortal viking anyway?
Viv goes to Amity where she meets Danny and passes Jason over. Danny is very confused but saw the livestream so he knows what to do there. But he is surprised that there are more people kinda like him.
Viv goes back to Gotham where Batman is waiting for her. Meanwhile Jason gets taken to be healed and shit. Except itâs not a one and done thing, itâs going to be a chronic thing. Like FOREVER heâs gotta deal with contaminated ecto filling him up cause the Pit made him not draw in ecto but produce his own yet itâs always going to be contaminated. Fun.
(More so since they canât let him just kill the Joker and then die. They would if they could. But the issue is that Jason is full of corrupt material that could damage a lot of the realm and killing him as a ghost is not an option due to how much corruption it would cause.)
Danny and Jason get close while Viv is stuck explaining things and running the empire Jason made until heâs back.
Now: imagine Bruce and the others learning all of this.

Back on my bullshit but now I'm actually adding shit to the au
Everyone say hi to my opera magical girl shadowpeach au
Set in lmk verse
- new opera troupe in megapolis(? Or troupe gets a new manager, havent decided yet)
- the manager is baigujing LMFAO
- she brings her own opera ppl to the megapolis troupe, which includes mayor, macaque, spiders
- mayor doesn't really do opera I think he'd be more like admin. But hed fit some kind of wusheng, considering his past, and he could be like. Last minute understudy idk
- spider queen as a wu dan, but I also think she has the personality for a jing. Yea jing are men but everyone is gnc so. The spider henchmen are chou.
- macaque as a sheng + huashan dan
Wukong joins the troupe undercover to scope out baigujing/the "enemy." He plays sheng roles but is super bad at it HELP. He did try his best to audition for dan but. Macaque ate him up
The magical girl au part is when wukong is out of disguise and is the monkey king. In this au I'm kinda altering it to be like where sun wukong as his name isn't known, but the monkey king is known, so it's like magical girl hero persona vibes
Macaque also has a magical girl form where he has the ice armor and can turn huge like in the show. Cue sailor moon/phantom thief jeanne where ur rival is actually ur crush irl tralala
Design notes for the monkey king form
- the back of each flag has an insignia representing each of the pilgrims
- the front of the flags depicts stages of his life (birth, huaguo shan, havoc in heaven, journey to the west)
Closeups! Will probably work on designs for magical opera monkey macaque
#opera magical girl au#thats the tag now help#art#artists on tumblr#fanart#digital art#character art#character design#concept art#beijing opera#opera#kunqu opera#亏ĺ§#ćć˛#lego monkey kid#shadowpeach#lmk#lmk fanart#sun wukong#six eared macaque

"Stillborn? No, no, still born." -- DPXDC AU
Based off a comment I saw where Bruce knew about Talia's pregnancy in the earlier comivs, and was ecstatic to be a father. So much so that Talia feared he'd give up being Batman for it, so when she gave birth she put the baby (Damian) on a doorstep and (seemingly) told Bruce that the baby was stillborn.
Instead of Damian, that baby was Danny! Meet Daniel Brown, the 14 year old foster kid whose been living with the Fenton family for the last two years. He's about two years older than Damian.
His last name, "Brown", was a generic surname given to him because the note he came with didn't have one on it. It just had the name "Danyal" on it, but albeit 'Daniel' was the one that had been put into the system for, I'll be totally frank here, racism reasons.
(I looked it up to make sure, and it's generally not permissible for foster parents to change the names of their foster kids even if it's a permanent residency, and for that reason Danny doesn't have the last name "Fenton".)
Danny's got â¨~issues!~⨠He's been through a handful of homes growing up, most of them terrible for a variety of reasons. Which has, as a result, left lasting scars. He's generally a very sweet kid, just very distrustful and jumpy. He's got the signs of a kid suffering from PTSD, and a handful of other issues including attachment and insomnia. His inferiority complex could rival Damian's, and that's going to make for an interesting mutual hatred for when they finally meet.
(something I'll get into later)
He still has the blanket he was found in. It's made of a very high quality material and is a beautiful emerald green with little golden thread accents, it's high quality as a result has Danny clinging onto a desperate hope that his bio family might be out there, and the only reason they gave him up was because of some outside factor. It's been taken a few times in old foster homes, and he's flipped out each time.
While he still calls Jack and Maddie by their names, he likes them well enough. The bar isn't that high though, and while they're some of the better foster parents he's had, "better" doesn't equal "safest". Their laboratory malpractice. Basically, C- Fenton Parents. They're negligent by virtue of being engrossed in their work, but they do care equally about Jazz and Danny. So he doesn't hold it against them that much.
He kinda prefers it that way, their loud affection is overwhelming and Danny doesn't know what to do with their attention, even if he craves it. It's a bit of a complicated situation.
They took in Danny because they genuinely wanted another child, but didn't want a big age gap between them and Jazz. It was actually Jack's idea to foster, and they discussed it with Jazz beforehand. She was all for the idea. Thus, a handful of weeks later, a ton of paperwork, and inspection later, and Daniel Brown entered their household with a trash bag in one hand and eyes like shards of stained glass.
His relationship with Jazz is kinda strained, but that's by virtue of her constant psychoanalyzing and helicoptering. Like with the parents, Danny's overwhelmed by the attention and also just, straight up doesn't like the fact that she's telling him that there's something wrong with him. He knows that, thank you. He pushes her away when she does this.
Other than that though? When Jazz isn't smothering him and is acting like an actual sibling and not a third parent, they're pretty close, and Danny really likes her. They've hung out a few times on their own volition, and Jazz showed him how to take better care of his long hair.
His school situation,, pretty similar to canon with the bullying, albeit with a few more instances of him blowing a fuse and lashing out against his attackers. He's a rather angry kid, but it's quiet. It builds up, piles on top of itself, until eventually, like a volcano, it erupts and burns everyone within radius.
Danny's got a fire core, not an ice core. Phantom's hair is made of white magma; thick and heavy, setting itself on fire when his anger runs hot. When he gets angry, his skin begins to char and split open to reveal pulsating lava underneath, and he crackles and pops like a raging forest fire.
I haven't decided yet on how he meets the batfam -- i've got two ideas but they're both in opposition to each other, and drastically alter how the rest of the plot goes. But I do know that him and Damian hate each other in the beginning. And it has nothing to do with inheritance or "being the blood son" -- although their blood relation absolutely plays the major role in their disdain for each other.
Simply put, they're jealous of each other for the same thing: thinking that the other was wanted.
Damian hates Danny because, unlike Damian, Bruce knew about Danny since conception and wanted him from the moment he heard about him. He had a whole nursery set up, and still does. He never took it down -- just locked the door. Damian was thrust upon Bruce without warning, and he feels like he forced himself into the family. And while on some level Damian knows and understands that Bruce wants him and loves him as much as his other children, that doubt and feeling of inferiority still remains. He looks at Danny and sees him with what Damian always feels he needs reaffirmed.
Meanwhile, Danny hates Damian because he looks at him and sees him with everything Danny's ever wanted. He hates him because Damian grew up knowing both of their parents, with one of them for most of his life, and then moved over to the other. There was never a moment where Damian was (seemingly) left to doubt his place within the family. Damian was raised with the very same woman who left Danny on a doorstep, with no clue to his identity beyond a little green blanket and a note with only a first name. Damian was wanted everywhere, and Danny was wanted nowhere. Damian is Danny's replacement in his eyes.
(It's the little revelation that Damian grew up with their mother that elevates Danny from being quietly envious of Damian to downright despising him. What did Damian do, that Danny didn't? He could live with Damian living with Bruce -- Bruce didn't know Danny was even alive. But him living with their mom? Are you fucking kidding him?)
Damian never outright attacks Danny physically, but it's not like he hides that he didn't like Danny. Meanwhile, Danny, in all his repressive anger, quietly despised him from a distance until finally one wrong snide side-comment has him blowing up and it becomes a screaming match. They're both just enough similar to each other that when they look at each other they really just see a mirror.
They'll work it out together, eventually. But it'll be ugly and cruel and explosive, and they'll start mending the bridge to become brothers in more than just blood relation in the end.
But yeah, stillborn Danny has... a lot going for him.

Dp x Dc AU: Tucker gets hired by the JL to work on the Watchtowerâs cybersecurity... He might have a few friends visit.Â
Batman looked over the application for visitors presented to him by Dr. Foley, who was nervously wringing his hands but seemed excited to talk about his two close associates, and it appeared that everything was in order for the pair to be allotted a short visitation time slot.Â
The paperwork was established by Batman himself after all, needing a way to permit non-members (His Children) to visit him at his office in the watchtower. Looking over Dr. Foleyâs application, the invites to Dr. D. Fenton and Dr. S. Manson seemed to be somewhat warranted.
Dr. Fenton is a well known astrophysicist and Dr. Foley had been upping the security to reflect more complex physics models as the âlockâ mechanism for access to Watchtower servers. Dr. Manson was a more controversial figure in social justice but a biochemist to rival Dr. Pamela Isley, not to mention she was someone Bruce Wayne had met a number of times and not completely hated (though he was sure she hated him and everyone else in the gala). She was a fan favorite guest by his children and a great advocate for animal and human rights.Â
Batman approves the application, allowing their visitation for a few hours at a time once a week until the completion of Dr. Foleyâs project.Â
He doesnât hear much from it, nor from Dr. Foley, but things start to come down the rumor grapevine that the two guests were more than they seemed. Red Robin was the first to comment on it to him, and as practical and efficient Tim could be, there was a look of chaos in his smile as he discussed the two additional PhDs. He was stingy on details and that always meant something bad for Bruceâs mental health. A few others asked a few questions as to who exactly the pair were visiting, and Cyborg commented that they werenât really doing too much to assist Dr. Foley.Â
Batman decides to intervene and meet these two for himself when he hears Constantine complain (not that the man wasnât always complaining about something) about the two new magic users being way too OP for normal humans.Â
This is how the JL gets to become allied with Ghost King Phantom and Thorn (not Poison Ivy pt.2 as Robin insisted). Turns out they werenât sure if the JL could be trusted with interdimensional politics, so Tucker spent the last two years gaining their trust to let Danny and Sam up here to âcheck the place outâ before they committed to becoming members.Â
Batman doesnât even get to raise alarms at the espionage of it all because Red Robin has already programed their new badges and welcomed them on with open arms and a project to take down the LOAâs Lazarus Pits âsafelyâ.
