#quirks of being a halfa

[ririblogsss]

what if Danny give no fu-ks

Ok hear me out, Dannys obsession has never truest been confirmed by the show itself (that I remember) I've seen a lot of people say his obsession comes from wanting to help / protect people. But what if he feels as though that he is now doing more damage than good, after all there are a lot of people getting hurt as colateral damage from the chases he has to go on. Or simply when he has to run away from getting captured.

What if one night he was up late and saw a post about a tragedy that happened because he slipped up (it wasn't even his fault, but he still blames himself for everything). And then he starts looking at all the bad comments against him ignoring all the good ones saying how much Danny Phantom has helped Amity. Because Danny is still human and confirmation bias is real. Imagine how he felt the moment he realized that he was causing people to get hurt instead of keeping them save.

Image the desperation clawing at him with the realization that he has never been able to fully manage his obsession. it makes him sad, desperate, angry.

His entire self is filled with too many emotions at the sametime he isn't even able to identify them and catalogue them properly like Jazz taught him.

and then everything stops and he feels nothing.

Completely and utterly numb.

Like his whole reason to keep going suddenly disappears.

And it has.

He gave up on his obsession and now he has to make / get a new one.

But it's not that easy.

This drastic change could've ended any ghost as they run on (live off) emotions.

Luckily because he's a Halfa, so that has given him the upper hand. Unfortunately it makes it so that he is completely devoid of any emotion.

Months go by and people immediately notice changes, the more drastic one is that Phantom went missing, and eventually a lot of ghost that where coming in looking for him stop. Amity Park is no longer populated by ghosts, and slowly the GIW started to retreat from Amity going to another place following a lead that says there are more ghost activities up north.

But those changes aren't the only ones noticeable. Dannys classmates and teachers can vouch that Danny has changed. Most say he was always quite , and others say he looked down right depressed. Danny didn't do much in classes not that he paid attention before. Its just this time it seems that its not out of being sleepy or anxious about another ghost attacking the school instead Danny looks like he coundn't give less of a fu-k about anything.

He never smiles anymore not even when his favorite subjects (mechanics and space) are brought up. Not even a quirk of a smile. The school decided to contact his parents about Dannys new behaviors. That includes skipping classes, not handing in work, not doing the assigned work in class ect....

And its not like his parents havent noticed, they've had more time in their hands since they aren't using hours of the day/night going out hunting anymore. and they have witnessed their son become a shell of himself. They don't know what to do, and they don't want to worry Jazz about it because she's at collage and needs to focus on her studies.

So when the school contact them and told them that the behavior is the same in school they decided major changes needed to happen. Starting with a change of environment.

Maddie and Jack decided that Amity park was too big of a city with too many people. They could nearly see the stars at night because of the light pollution, hence they decided to move next door to Alicia, Maddie sister, home in SmallVille.

They decided it was the best choice, Danny would be surrounded by nature and he could do online classes that would go the pace he wanted. The move was immediate, the day off they packed everything sold the house and moved.

They only stopped to say goodbye to Danny's friends. A small bye and hug later they were on a 7 hour road trip to their new home.

When they got there the old resident handed them the keys of the home and told them to ignore the their neighbors 'The Kents' as they often made a lot of noice and had group gatherings every month.

The one thing Jack and Maddie forgot to double check was if the house was an actual house or a farm house. Sounds similar, but completely different as they now had 2 cows, 16 chickens, 1 rooster, and 3 pigs to take care off.

Danny was put on duty of taking care of the animals, such as feeding them on time and making sure they were healthy. Jack and Maddie made more of the heavy weight as to re building broken fences and fixing the questionable roof.

(The first thing Danny did when meeting all the animals was name them. After all this was about all the interaction he was going to do.)

Danny didn't have time to think about his lost obsession or his lack of emotions as he was now too busy making sure each animal was taken care off.

Marcy and linda (the cows) were danny's favorite they were very gentle and he felt that they could understand him when he spoke to them the stories of his vigilante past.

On the other hand The Chickens were a nightmare, Glinda was cool as she never chased him down. But Matilda and Bethany were a nightmarish duo spiteful too when he was seconds late to the finding time. Mark the rooster was chill he mainly acted as of he was part of the group that needed protection.

Marice, Betty, and Miss Piggy were the chillest of the bunch never gave Danny any trouble when feeding them and always made a point that they loved their new mudbath installation that Danny made for them on his first 2 days on the farm.

A month after arriving at the farm house Danny noticed that mark was missing. Danny looked everywhere around the property and saw him from afar, at the road. So Danny did the sensible thing anyone would do when spotting a run away pet, and that is call their name at the top of your lungs whilst running after them.

naturally Mark the escape artist run the opposite direction. By the time Danny caught up to him Danny didn't recognize the house he was infant off. So with Mark comfortably in his arms He swears he can see a smug look on marks face. Danny turned away from the house to start his walk back to the farm, but he was met with a kid his age looking at him with distrust.

"Ehhh look kid Im sorry to have crossed the properties border but Mark here" Danny made a point to acentuate Mark in his arms "Runaway from me this morning and I've been trying to catch him ever since, anyways I need to go feed the girls"

The kid starred at him for a second "OMG your from the new family in Mr.duncans farm right? in Aver ST.?" and wow the kid was like a ray of sunshine.

"Yea-" Danny could even finish his sentence before the kid cut him off by starting to talk a mile a minute about how he was so exited to meet people his age that lived near by and how farm chores were harder that normal house chores.

"Jon, give him time to respond. Im Damian this is Jon" Danny jumped he hadn't noticed the second kid at all

"Oh yeah... sorry about that what's your name?" The kid (Jon) slightly less enthusiasm, a bit embarrassed if his tone of voice was anything to get by.

"Danny, Im 15" he responded before he started walking away after all he did need to get in time to feed the chickens unless he wants to suffer their furry. Danny shuddered at the memory that popped up in his head.

"Wait!!! I just thought we could be friends cause we live close by u know" Jon said catching up with Dannys steps. Damian was following from behind.

"Sure kid I don't care" Dannys voice was monotone much like it had been for months.

"Hey were not kids for your information, Im 14 and Damians 16 soon to be 17, so if anything you night be the actual kid!" Danny chuckled slightly it was more similar to releasing air from his lips than a laugh.

Soon a quite and enjoyable science encompassed the group as they went to Dannys home.

"Hmm... you're hold on Mark is adequate and the your determination for getting home in time for feeding is acceptable" Damian spoke up after a while of the passive silence.

"yeah and what is It to you" Danny was slightly urked by Damians default setting speach. He told him as such.

Jon blanched before erupting into giggles that sent him to lay down on the grass uncontrollably laughing. Damians right eyebrow quirked up in what Danny assumed was amusement.

Thus a new friendship grew that day.

They often gathered at Dannys or Jons yard to have picnic in the weekends (as Damian and Jon has school in Metropolis on week days) and hangout with the animals. Danny found out that Damian was a vegetarian and that he had various animals at home. One time he brought his Great Dane Titus, who bodied Danny on sight to give him kisses.

Also Damian was Damian Wayne as in bruce Wayne, Batman sugar daddy. When he said that, Jons milk flew out of his nose and Damian choked on his cucumber wrap. Even Titus gave him a judgemental stare.

Slowly Danny started to smile more, laugh every so often. And things were feeling so much better after not being able to feel anything for a while.

Jazz, Aunt Alicia and especially Maddie and Jack felt so relived to see that Danny was slowly coming back to them.

Danny to this day backs the fact that Mark knew something and planned the whole thing.

Dcxdp prompt: where is my baby?

Dan and Dani are hurt badley, their cores are cracked/broken, Danny takes them to frostbite and offers to give them a piece of his own core so they could heal because he is their mother/original they can fully adapt to his core, with him being extremely powerful and a perfect halfa he would be able to recover eventualy.

Due to plot reasons after the surgery Danny and kids are attacked, danny is currently very weak and has an unstable space core, as a last resort he sends them to another dimension they end up transported to mha/dc, (Danny is not lucid through this )

Danny wakes up disoriented with memory loss not knowing how he got there(whether he forgets about the attack or not is up to you)and where his kids are, he is hysterical, heros think he is a villain but its just that his core is on the fritz and his distress is causing his powers to become uncontrollable

He gets calmed down and taken in by aizawa/martain manhunter(or any hero you think fits), they have lie detector detective/wonder woman’s lasso of truth to interrogate him, danny’s talking is incomprehensible he says the date and place is wrong, he dosent know where he is or where his kids are, he gets confused about his age (like is he 14 or 19),barley remembers his name and facts about his family except his kids,

(and maybe for plot reasons he vaguely has knowledge about mha like what quirks are/heros/villains/basic history/and the like or not up to you)

But what he does know is that he has 2 kids a girl and a boy, dan either has black hair grey eyes or white hair red eyes and dani either has black hair blue eyes or white hair green eyes, that they are hurt, they are missing and that he desperately wants/needs to find them.

so i hope you like this and decide to write something because i can’t write a proper fic and would really like to read your idea’s

Phantom of Gotham 10

Chapter 9

After breakfast, Tim, Damian and Danny went on the tour while Jason went to check out the library. It was Jason code for ‘I’ll be in the manor if you need me, but I’m avoiding Bruce’, and Tim appreciated that. It also gave him time to send Jason the files he’d uncovered about Danny. 

Unsurprisingly, Danny wasn’t from Gotham. Surprisingly, Danny had come to Gotham under a fake identity, one so well hidden even Tim wouldn’t have noticed if he wasn’t paying attention. The person who set Danny’s backstory was a great hacker, and Tim absently wondered if it had been Danny, despite the lack of computer coding classes in the boy’s schedule. He knew Danny was more proficient at chemistry and engineering. 

Nevertheless, Danny Folson was actually Daniel Fenton. He was from Amity Park Illinois, supposedly the most haunted place in the world. Just by reading that fun fact, Tim knew it wasn’t a coincidence that both Danny and Phantom had shown up around the same time, and berated himself for not noticing it sooner. He wasn’t exactly sure what their relationship was, or who was protecting who, but it was obvious Danny was a runaway. The only mystery now was what-or who- he was running from. 

Tim’s running theory is the parents, especially when he found the missing persons report filed by one Jack and Maddie Fenton, the town’s ghost hunters. Brushing off the creepiness of that, Tim dove deeper into the Fentons and found out they’d published a lot of papers about ghost portals, realms, ectoplasm, ghost biology, and worse, weapons. Based on their obviously biased research, Tim was not too surprised that they had invented more weapons and capture gear than anything else. It was worrisome, given that they had a rivalry with ghosts, yet their son was on the run with one. Or at least they were in contact with one another. 

Danny’s past was a big puzzle Tim was itching to put together, especially when they had more information on the GIW and Phantom because of it. Apparently, since Danny’s disappearance, the Fenton’s had partnered with the GIW. After all of Tim’s research on the GIW, he couldn’t help but be suspicious that so many people in Amity Park seemed to be aware of the ghosts, when no one else had any clue. Even the Justice League didn’t have any records on ghosts like Phantom, and Tim knew Bruce had gotten in contact with Constantine on the matter. 

Reading all of this in his phone, Jason grimaced. Danny had runaway from his weapon-obsessed ghost-hunting parents to Gotham a the same time an actual ghost showed up. Based on Tim’s reports, Danny running away had no catalyst, no big event for why. Jason could guess it had something to do with ghosts, but other than the GIW and his parents, the actual existence of ghosts were considered a hoax to everyone else in the world. 

The vigilante’s theory was that Danny ran after meeting Phantom, but still. Jason could tell something was off. Phantom had mentioned there were a few halfas in hiding, which, without knowing how they came to be or what their abilities are, it would be difficult to find them. Then again, Tim had thought Danny could possibly be one. It would explain running away from his parents who hated anything to do with ghosts. But Jason and Tim didn’t find any evidence of meta abilities besides a slower than usual heartbeat, possible resistance to cold, and lack of appetite. All of those could be just regular human quirks though. 

For now, they needed to talk to Phantom. If Danny turned out to be a halfa, they needed to find out how to help keep him safe and healthy. No doubt being homeless put a strain on his body, and given that there were only three halvas around, they could assume no one knew exactly how to treat them medically. Jason sighed running a hand through his hair. He didn’t want to think about what could have happened to turn Danny into a half-ghost. It hit a bit too close to home for him, and he wasn’t sure how he felt.

Messaging Tim, they confirmed that they’d keep an eye out for Phantom tonight. With Bruce and Dick off to who knows where to stop some sort of magical snowstorm responsible for all the snow in Gotham, it would just be the three of them out tonight. Alfred would keep an eye out for Danny while they were gone, and Jason knew no one would come take the kid at the manor. Not with the bats security system. 

Bruce and Dick had found out about the snowstorm the same day it happened, given that it was unusual for winter to start so early with so much at once. They hadn’t given out details but Jason was pretty sure it was a ploy from Dr. Freeze. If anything, they should be done by tonight, Jason suspected. Freeze was simple enough to handle. 

Jason skimmed through Danny’s files again, committing it to memory. It seemed the kid had pretty good grades up until two years ago. After that, it was mostly Cs and poor attendance. Possibly when the ghost thing started, or when Danny became a halfa. Jason did note that the kid hadn’t had any sort of checkup at a doctor since he was seven and had to go for a broken arm. Looking at his sibling, he could tell that she more or less took care of the kid when she could. Jasmine Fenton, currently attending college in Illinois, not too far from Amity Park. Considering her major in psychology, he could infer that she was not onboard with her parent’s ghostly obsessions. It was a strong possibility that she had helped Danny get out of Amity. For now though, they’d have to talk to Phantom first before interrogating the kid. 

A quick text from Tim had Jason putting his phone away and picking up the book he’d been reading, looking towards the door expectantly. He wasn’t surprised in the least to see that Damain and Danny had somehow turned the tour into a race. The two skidded to a stop in the middle of the library while Tim followed leisurely behind, a bit exasperated. 

“I win,”Damian claimed, puffing out his chest. Danny stood up straighter, adopting a thoughtful look. 

“I dunno, I feel like I might’ve won that time,” Danny said, stroking his non-existent beard. “Tim? Who do you think?”

“Drake was not even paying attention,”Damian grumbled, scowling at Danny. 

“Since I value my life, I’m gonna have to say Damian won,”Tim said, collapsing into a red beanbag chair. Damian nodded with a smirk, and Danny pouted. 

“Alright, but I’ll get you next time,”Danny vowed. He went to sit in a green beanbag chair, only for Jason to catch his attention. “Jason, right? Whatcha reading?” 

“Jane Austen,”Jason said, flipping the book to show Danny the cover. 

“Ah, Pride and Prejudice,”Danny nodded sagely. Jason perked up at the reaction whale Tim and Damian rolled their eyes. 

“You’ve read it?” Jason asked casually. Danny made a so-so movement with his hand. 

“I read the version that was retold as a guinea pig picture book,”Danny said, like that was normal. Jason and the others gave him a bewildered look. 

“What?”Damian asked incredulously, while Tim was typing on his phone, no doubt to search if such a thing existed. It did. Tim made a noise of vague interest, and sent it to Jason’s phone. 

“I think it’s called ‘A guinea pig pride and prejudice, but it might not be too different to the normal version,”Danny said, oblivious to the look on Jason’s face. “Anyway, Tim said you’d join us for videogames?”

“As soon as I burn whatever book you’re talking about, sure,”Jason shook his head, getting up. “Which games are we talking about?”

“Mario Kart,”Tim called from his beanbag. Danny stuck out a hand to help him up, and effortlessly picked Tim out of the beanbag, much to Tim’s surprise. “Whoa, you’re stronger than you look.”

“I’ll have you know that short people can also be strong,”Danny sniffed. “I just forget sometimes that people can’t handle my raw strength,”Danny said, gesturing to his frankly abysmal muscles. 

Damian snorted. “I would highly doubt anyone would be impressed by a fishbone such as yourself.”

“Yeah kiddo, you look like a light breeze could knock you over,”Jason joked. The three of them made their way down to the game room as they talked, Danny getting more exasperated. 

“I’m telling you, I’m stronger than I look, promise,” Danny laughed. “I bet I could even beat Tim in an arm wrestle.”

The three brothers snorted. “Bet,”Tim smirked. He knew he looked kind of scrawny from afar, but because of his night job, he had amassed a lot of muscle. 

“I can’t wait to see this,”Jason laughed. “If you beat Tim you can stay here as long as you want.”

“As much as I hate to agree with Drake,”Damian scoffed,”There’s no way you’ll beat him.”

“Oh I see, ye of little faith,”Danny hopped on his toes, grinning. “I think you’re just scared.”

Tim rolled his eyes. “Sure, I’m so scared of you and your noodle arms.”

Before Dnany could retort, they’d made it to the game room. “Woah, does this mansion have everything? Is that an arcade game?”

“Yep,”Jason said, grasping the teen’s shoulders and leading him to a table. “Now arm wrestle Timmy. You can’t make a claim like that without following through.”

Danny laughed, standing opposite to Tim at the table. “Alright alright, but don’t say I didn’t warn you.” He joked as they got into position. 

“Three, two, one,”Jason counted off, and the two arms gave a bit of a jolt before standing still in the middle. Tim looked baffled, while Danny had a grin. “Come on Timbo, are you even trying?”

“I.. am.. What the-” Tim gritted out, and stopped talking when their arms moved slowly in Danny’s winning side. Their hands briefly touched the table before they relaxed, and Jason broke out into a loud laugh. 

Meanwhile, Damian shook his head. “I knew you were weak, Drake, but now you’re just pitiful,”Damian scowled.

“Wha- No, he’s actually really strong! I’m not kidding, how the heck-”Tim sputtered.

“I told you,”Danny said smugly, crossing his arms. 

“Me next,”Jason grinned, and Danny nodded. 

“Okay, no offense, but I think you could lift my whole body with just one arm, so I don’t think this is very fair,”Danny said, choosing to ignore how Tim and Damian started arm wrestling at a different table to see who was srongest.  

“Why, you scared?” Jason teased as Danny gripped his hand. He startled a bit at how cold Danny’s hands felt. 

“Nah,”Danny said easily. He knew if he’d used more ghost strength it would look suspicious. ”I can at least give you a run for your money.”

The arm wrestle started and while Jason still won, he did so a lot slower than he would have against Tim or Damian. Jason laughed. “You’re pretty strong though, I’ll give you that.”

“Hey, as long as I beat Tim, my life goals have been met,”Danny laughed. “Now what’s Mario Kart? I’ve never played.”

Suffice to say, they were all cramped in the game room for hours until Alfred came to collect them for lunchtime. Despite the siblings previous reluctance to hang out together before, they found that they were pleasantly content to get along with Danny around. Jason brushed it off as everyone behaving for the new kid, but it felt nice to forget about all drama for a while. 

“Did you notice how cold his hands were?” Tim whispered to Jason once Damian and Danny were occupied with vegetarian sandwiches. Jason nodded, knowing Tim would add it to his ever-growing file. Looks like their halfa theory was becoming true.”And he’s strong, could be a meta ability.”

“You’re just a sore loser,”Jason whispered back, only to get a scowl back. He grinned, patting Tim on the back before joining the shorter two for sandwiches. 

“You’re vegetarian as well?” Damian was asking. 

“Yea,”Danny said between bites. Looking at his plate, Jason only saw half a sandwich and resolved to get the kid to eat another one by the time lunch was over. “My friend is an ultra-recylo-vegetarian, and she finally convinced me,”Danny explained. It definitely wasn’t because he regularly saw ghosts that resembled corpses, and that meat had started to remind him of that a little too much. “I don’t mind it, but I’d just prefer not to eat meat when I can.”

Damian nodded sagely, giving Tim and Jason a look. “I am glad at least one other person here is sensible.” 

Danny laughed,”My friend Tucker was horrified when I told him. Are you the only vegetarian at the manor?”

“I am,” Damian said. 

“Not for lack of trying,”Tim added under his breath. Then louder, he added,”You should try the cucumber sandwiches, Alfred makes them the best.” He said, grabbing one and putting it on Danny’s plate. 

“I don’t think I’m that hungry,”Danny joked, nervously. Jason patted him on the shoulder reassuringly. 

“You’re skin and bones, kid,”Jason lectured. “An extra sandwich won’t hurt ya.”

Danny gave him a confused look, but ate as much as he could anyway. He really didn’t feel hungry, but maybe he was acting too suspicious? Danny thought to himself. It just felt weird to eat when he didn’t feel hungry, and he wasn’t sure how his ghostly side was even affecting what he ate. Honestly he didn’t even know if he needed to eat anymore. Jazz would kill him if he tried to test that theory though, so he stuck to munching on the delicious sandwich while the siblings bickered. His core hummed quietly at the feeling of being included with the family. 

He’d miss them when he left.

Phic Phight - We’re The Type To Be Pit Ballin’

For: @purpleruletheomiverse 

Vlad loves balls. Danny loves balls. But most importantly, Maddie the cat loves balls.

Danny was always suspicious of Vlad, especially when Vlad gets a bunch of small boxes and one very large box. He didn’t pick up on any energy spikes in any of the guy's homes, so whatever it was it wasn’t electronic and didn’t use ectoplasm. Could it just be a new couch or bed? Sure. Danny wasn’t betting his half-life on that though.

Now if it was possible Danny would just waltz into the man’s house invisibly and check for anything; unfortunately, Vlad knew about his half-ghost ass and was also into anti-ghost tech. Meaning the house was protected from Danny abusing his powers like that, plus Vlad was a halfa himself and would thus sense Danny’s presence if he was in ghost form or using a decent amount of energy. So now here he is knocking on the door like a normal person (how boring) and being greeted by a slightly confused Vlad.

“Daniel?”, sticking his head out and looking around, “you’re here by yourself, so I doubt Jack made you come”, then frowning a little, “I will be very unhappy if you’re about to tell me there’s a major ghost issue”.

Danny shoves his way in, Vlad letting him with a quirked eyebrow as Danny looks around, “so what massive boxed thing did you buy”.

“You watching my mail like that could qualify as stalking behaviour, you know”.

“You put spy cameras in my house, you are not winning that argument”. Danny pausing in spot a few rooms over and just kind of staring, there’s a fucking ball pit and it’s actually filled with ball pit balls, not something weird or evilish. “Why… why do you have a ball pit”. It’s basically wall to wall, no wonder the box was goddamn huge.

Vlad walks in, crossing his arms, “Maddie was getting bored with most of her toys, so I thought I’d spice things up and splurge a little”.

Danny makes a few faces, “a ‘little’? You turned an entire room into a shallow ball pit for your cat. You have been too rich for too long”, wagging a finger in Vlad’s face, “you need to be homeless for a while, by the Ancients”. Looking back to the ball pit because come on! How much would something like this even cost? Even all the multi-coloured balls alone would be more than most peoples pay cheques. He means, sure he’s glad the guys actually pampering his cat like any halfway decent pet owner should but this might be overboard. “Your cat is spoiled”.

Vlad rolls his eyes, looking up to the ceiling, “I was also thinking of making steps for the walls and pathways up by the ceiling, little more space to run around and climb, you know”.

Danny looks up too, “Vlad… how fucking tall are your ceilings? What if she falls?”. Even if a cat fell into a shallow ball pit that would probably hurt.

Vlad pales a little, oh right, “you may have a point there”. This was a mansion after all. “Maybe just tunnels through the walls then”.

“Do you know what walls are load bearing? Do you want an upper floor to collapse down?”.

Vlad blinks, “since when did you know so much about architecture?”.

“It was one of the choices for side credits for that bachelor's degree I kinda wanna get”.

Vlad blinks and grins, “Oh, in biological science and engineering right? So you can get that master's to try getting into the Astronaut Candidate Program?”. At least his nephew-should-be-son-though was actually intelligent.

Danny grins right back, “yup, I’ve already got all my logged pilot-in-command hours”.

“I’d say congrats but I’m not sure Maddie and Jack’s jet counts”.

Danny points aggressively at him, “fuck that noise, I will make that count one way or another. Also, I have actually flown a real spaceship before even if I can’t actually prove that and it was trying to eat me beforehand”. And then Maddie the cat jumps up out of the ball pit and dives back in, popping her head up and meowing loudly at the two. Danny blinks, “was she sleeping in there?”.

Vlad looks incredibly smug, because he is smug, “indeed. I think it’s a winner”; then eyeing Danny watching the ball pit with a small little smile on his face.

Maddie the cat starts swimming around in the balls, the plunking and plinking the balls all make was rather adorable in Danny’s opinion, and what kind of loser doesn’t like a good ball pit. Ah, fuck it. “Fuck it”, Danny dives in; making Vlad jerk a little and reach out for him belatedly. Unfortunately, Danny sticks his head out of the pit with a, “I think I broke my neck actually”.

Vlad drops his hand and shakes his head, “for Gouda's sake, Daniel. Why didn’t you just step in?”.

“Oh where’s the fun in that?”. Eh, Danny thinks his neck’s healed enough, flipping over and starting to crawl around in the balls; occasionally flinging some in the air, which Maddie the cat frequently jumps out to catch or bat at.

Vlad sits down on the ball pit ledge, folding his hands together in his lap. He absolutely liked these sorts of little moments, where it felt like he could genuinely be family to Daniel. Watching Daniel bite a ball into his mouth and ‘popping’ it out. Maybe when the boy’s older and more mature…

Danny was very much in favour of this, it wasn’t evil, it didn’t involve his mom, and it was very fun. Ball pits were awesome… so long as no one pissed in it anyways. Vlad just rolls his eyes and leans out of the way when Danny throws a ball at him, but Maddie the cat absolutely losses her shit chasing after it like a bat outta hell and skidding around on the floor as she scammers her legs a bit faster than gravity is letting her actual move. The cat is smacking the runaway ball all over the floor and Danny can’t help laughing at that, Vlad watching his cat go fondly.

The cat comes back after a bit, panting, and lays on Vlad’s lap, him eyeing Danny as he pets her, “are you going to get out of there”.

Only half of Danny’s face is out as he hisses, “never”, and slowly sinks beneath the balls; time to slip away sneakily. Maybe Vlad will think he drowned in balls and panic. Heh.

Vlad eyes the balls and when Daniel doesn’t come back up and none of the balls move, “Daniel? Really?”.

A couple of seconds later the balls start moving again and Danny’s head slowly pokes up, looking petulant, “you added ghost shields underground?”.

Vlad smirks, “absolutely”.

Danny grumbles, actually standing up and walking out of the room making ‘I’m watching you’ gestures. Danny keeps glaring behind himself the entire way out of the mansion. Fuck… that was totally a family bonding moment, wasn’t it? Damn him. All his get a cat mocking was both working and backfiring. Ah well, it’s definitely still good he says; based on the sound of ball pit balls moving around it definitely was. There is nothing in this world that could convince Danny the Vlad didn’t just go into the ball pit. Nothing.

End

Prompt: Vlad goes to absurd lengths to spoil his cat.

[dragongarden98]

Sorry, for not posting as much as I should, I don't think I am going to use Tumblr as much as I thought I would. But here's my new plot bunnies. Hope you enjoy it at least. Never mind I might be using it a bit more than I thought, also I will be going through and editing my mistakes and bad grammar. It will take a while so I hope you can be patient with me.

1

Fandoms Danny phantom. Durarara!!

Title: lonely souls no longer lonely.

Plot Summary.

Danny has to leave home because it's no longer safe in Amity Park.

Danny was caught by the G I W and he was experimented on.

In this fanfic Danny was adopted by the Fenton's when he was a baby. He is actually the illegitimate son of Orihara Shirou and is Izaya's half brother, that he has no idea about and didn't even know existed in the first place.

The rest of this fic would be focusing on Danny just trying to survive in the Ikebukuro. But he keeps getting mistaken for izaya.

This will have Shizaya and Izaya and Shizuo adopting Danny. Shizaya is important to the story but it's not the main focus, instead it's a secondary one.

2

Title: X Marks The Spot.

Fandoms Danny Phantom. Teen Titans.

Plot Summary.

It isn't safe anymore for the Fenton siblings in their own universe, so they leave their home dimension and they go to the DC universe.

There were some complications leading to Danny and his clone Ellie (Dani, I'm calling her Ellie because it's easier) becoming babies in between the ages of 1 month and 6 months old.

It's mainly just BAMF Jazz, she's raising her kids, kicking ass, and stealing stuff from evil corporations and Rich assholes.

50/50 if it is Jazz X Dick, but we'll just have to see.

The story would pick up where the Teen Titans cartoon ended. Perhaps the black and white monster could have been a ghost. Maybe we learn why Tara came back. FYI I know that there's a Teen Titans comic called Teen Titans go, not the same as that cartoon, it's set in the original series. Point is I'm not following the comics I'm going to do my own thing.

Fandoms Durarara!! ark survival evolved.

I had an idea for a story, but I have gotten some of the lore of ark completely wrong so my original story idea is completely scrapped.

4

Title: Records of a Forgotten Hero.

Fandoms Danny phantom. MHA.

Plot Summary.

Midoriya, Bakugou and Todoroki are in an accident that gives them multiple quirks? And they are very confused on what's going on.

Danny leaves behind a video diary for the three new halfas. So they can understand what is going on, and why they have multiple quirks now.

I don't have much of a plot figured out for this one yet.

5

Title: The Runaway Babies.

Fandom Durarara!!.

Plot Summary.

Two young girls come to Ikebukuro to make a new life for themselves. They end up getting a bit more than what they bargained for, but a happy ending all the same.

Don't have very much for the story except the OCs end up adopting both Izaya and Shizuo instead of being adopted by them. The OCs are similar to izaya and shizuo.

It's a shizaya kid fic. Kids adopting their parents instead of the parents adopting the kids.

6

Title: a bond between two souls.

Fandoms My Hero Academia. Durarara!!

Plot Summary.

Bakugou and Deku wake up in the past and in the bodies of Izaya and Shizuo.

And they have no idea why, but now they have to figure out what happened to them and why they're here, and simultaneously deal with Izaya and Shizuo. Izaya and Shizuo are not happy that Bakugou and Deku are in their bodies.

I have no idea what I'm going to do with this fic, but I had so many ideas, but no real cohesive plot.

It's a reincarnation and soulmate AU. BakuDeku. Shizaya.

Bakugou is in Izaya's body and Deku is in Shizuo's.

7

Series title: Demons Of Gotham.

AKA, DOG. lol.

Fandoms Batman. Danny phantom.

Plot Summary.

Two demons have entered Gotham City and started attacking most of the rogues.

And at the same time Wayne Manor is being haunted by something or someone.

This is just going to be a series of one shots and maybe a few multi chapter fics. It's just meant to be a bunch of funny, wholesome, and horrifying (for the villains at least) stories about Thomas and Martha Wayne haunting Gotham (and kicking Joker's teeth out) for Jason, because he deserves better.

8

Series title: MHA Trip to DC.

Fandom MHA. DC animated universe. DC extended universe. Batman Wayne family adventures.

Plot Summary.

Just another series where MHA characters and DC characters. i don't have a story at the moment.

Just a bunch of ideas and scenes.

9

Title: The Missing Piece.

Fandom. Durarara!!

Plot Summary.

I don't really have much of a story right now. but it would be a Shizaya x OC.

10

Title: only fleas.

Fandom. Durarara!!

Plot Summary.

Shizuo has a onlyfans.

Izaya is a big fan of his.

Probably a one shot but could be multiple chapters. it's just meant to be some fun shizaya smut.

11

Fandom. Durarara!!

Plot Summary.

Post Ketsu.

3 years have passed since Izaya left Ikebukuro and Izaya ended up getting kidnapped by a serial killer.

Izaya manages to escape but it's being hunted by the serial killer.

So thinking this is his last chance he calls his sisters and his friend Shinra, he even calls Shizuo and apologizes to them.

But no one picks up for whatever reason, except Shizuo.

Was inspired by an episode of SVU.

12

Fandom. Durarara!!

Plot Summary.

Shizuo and Izaya wake up in a strange Lab. But they don't wake up together. Instead they wake up in different parts of the lab at different times.

They soon learn that the world has been overtaken by monsters. And they themselves are slowly turning into monsters as well.

13

Fandom. Durarara!!

Plot Summary.

Mermaid AU. Inspired by the movie Deep Blue sea.

Essentially it's the plot of the movie but replacing the sharks with mermaids and one of the mermaids Izaya. Maybe the other two mermaids or his sisters.

Shizuo is the shark handler guy. but instead of sharks it's mermaids.

Not the exact plot of the movie but definitely inspired.

14

Fandom. Durarara!!

Plot Summary.

Shizuo wake's up in bed with Izaya, and is mortified. He's not sure what happened. He's planning on leaving, but he wants answers (and he would feel a little scummy for just sleeping with someone and leaving them right after.)

During all of this Izaya is asleep.

one shot fic where mostly just shizuo unsure what to do.

15

Fandom. Durarara!!

Plot Summary.

This is the story with all the alternate versions of Shizuo and Izaya.

Shinra thought it would be a fun idea to clone them. that goes as well as you would think.

Now all the clones are loose, and Shizuo and Izaya don't know that they were cloned.

It is much chaos. In short the children have gotten loose and they're causing mayhem.

16

Fandom. Durarara!!

Plot Summary.

The story just has one alternate version of Shizuo.

Delic is Shizuo's cousin and Izaya doesn't know about him.

But Delic knows about Izaya and decides to mess with him.

Examples are, flirting, calling Izaya cute while he's flustered, etc etc.

And all while he's pretending to be Shizuo. It also helps that he has Shizuo's strength.

Now what does Shizuo think about this? Who knows, maybe they both start messing with Izaya. And Izaya is just frustrated with whatever the hell is going on.

17

Fandom. Durarara!!

Plot Summary.

Shizuo becomes an assassin and uses a cover named, Ruby No Yubiwa. Izaya became a manga artist by the pen name of Toudaimoto Kurashi.

I don't have that many ideas for the story.

Plus Toudaimoto Kurashi is kind of like an Izaya if he had never met Shinra.

18

Fandom. Durarara!!

Plot Summary

Izaya was sold to the Oriharas by his mom, or he was kidnapped by the Oriharas when he was a baby.

So he had no idea that he was kidnapped and/or adopted.

Depending on which version it's either his grandparents were still looking for him, or his parents and grandparents were looking for him. And as a last resort they go to the media. Another thing they can do in their desperation to find him is go to a certain informant and that's how they find out the truth.

inspired by another fanfic as well as an episode of SVU. I'm not sure where the story would go. I think it would be an interesting idea if Izaya had a family he never knew about. how would he deal with that?

19

Izaya has a secret child that no one knows about. Not even his family.

Unfortunately the mother of the child went missing, leaving Izaya to raise the child on his own. Another unfortunate thing is that Ikebukuro learns that Izaya has a kid, and Izaya decides to hire Shizuo as a bodyguard to keep his daughter safe.

I'm not sure what to do with this story. I just think it would be interesting if Izaya had a secret child.

Possible shizaya?

20

Izaya wakes up injured and in an apartment that he doesn't recognize. Turns out the apartment is Shizuo's.

Unsure how he got there, Izaya tries to figure out what's going on and how he ended up in Shizuo's apartment.

Meanwhile Shizuo is trying to take care of Izaya and keep him from getting out of the apartment.

Every time Izaya is close to getting out of the apartments. Shizuo freaks out and stops him from getting out.

It almost seems like Shizuo is scared of something.

21

Erika and Kyouhei have made a bet. The bet is who is right about the nature of Shizuo and Izaya's relationship. If Erika is right. Or Kyouhei?

If Kyouhei is right and those two aren't in a romantic relationship then Erika can't talk about them being in love for one month straight.

But if Erika's right... Who Knows! I haven't really decided on that one.

22

Shizuo and Izaya are trapped in The Sims. (It's totally Shenra's fault for that one.)

Shinra keeps the two of them separated. He gives them their own rooms and different parts of the house he made with them just until he figures out a way to get them out.

Shizuo has his own space far away from the "Flea" and Izaya is far away from the "Protozoan." Why aren't they put on separate lots because Shinra wants them to stay in the same place so it's easier to get them out. But unfortunately (though fortunate for the reader) this will backfire for all three of them.

Because somehow Erika gets a hold of the game; she has no idea that it's the actual Shizuo and Izaya and proceeds to live out her Shizaya fantasies.

This is going to be absolutely chaotic and I love it.

23

So have you ever seen the show "The amazing world of gumball?"

Well if you haven't you don't have to for this all you need to know is that there was an episode where an obsessive yandere ice cream girl (this show is very weird) gets a hold of a fanfiction note? What's the fanfiction note, think of Death Note but instead of killing people it instead brought fanfiction to life.

Now imagine if Erika got a hold of such a book and all the stuff that would happen.

So it's up to Shizuo and Izaya to stop her because yeah it's all fanfiction about them together as a couple.

But will they be able to stop her before it's too late?

24

It's Erika's birthday and she's had a Shity Month! (Again blame Shinra for what's about to happen.) Shinra wants to be a good friend and make her birthday special so he decides it's a good idea to get Shizuo and Izaya into a relationship with each other.

At least that's one version. I just want a fic where Shizuo and Izaya are forced to pretend that they are in a relationship.

25

Erika Was Right!

I just want a fic where Kyouhei has an existential crisis because "Holy Shit Erika Was Right!" What was she right about?

Well obviously she was right about Shizaya.

26

Post katsu.

Izaya had a one night stand before the events of post ketsu with Shizuo.

This resulted in Izaya getting Pregnant.

He gives the baby up for adoption after they're born, the birth happens eight or nine months after post-ketsu.

(Also the years have been altered slightly, instead of the events of the anime taking place in 2010 and 2015, instead it would be 2008 to 2009.)

The baby is all grown up and he's strong and ill-tempered just like his dear old dad Shizuo.

And now he wants to find out who his parents are? Will he ever get the answer? Who knows?

27

Eri compilation. Six villain stories and six hero stories.

Have some ideas for this.

28

The bat family ends up in the marvel universe. Will they get back home?

I don't have very many ideas for this.

29

The Bat family ended up in the 2004 The Batman series. Bat family minus Bruce and Alfred.

I have no idea for this one either. Well I have one idea but that's kind of it.

30

Jazz Fenton is female Tim Drake.

She left her home dimension because of some stuff that happened. The thing that ultimately gets her to leave is when Dick tries to have her put into Arkham.

She leaves to another dimension and she ends up getting turned back into a child. She finds a little baby boy that was abandoned in a dumpster and she would name him Danny, later gets adopted by the Fenton's.

31

Izaya is heartbroken after getting rejected by Shizuo, so he leaves Ikebukuro. Shizuo regrets what he said to Izaya. So now Shizuo is trying to find Izaya.

Will Shizuo be able to find Izaya, will he ever get the chance to apologize for the hurtful things he said to Izaya. Or will it be too late.

FYI the stuff that Shizuo said to Izaya was pretty damn hurtful. Like a really brutal rejection. Even people who hate Izaya or think that Shizuo was being way too mean towards Izaya.

32

Durarara crossover with Backrooms.

Izaya gets trapped in the Backrooms.

33

Crossover with Durarara and the SCP Foundation. Shizuo is some kind of entity that broke into site 19. Izaya is one of the agents and he fights Shizuo. Shizuo decides after their fight "this guy is really hot." And wants to make Izaya his husband.

34

Izaya is given a love potion.

35

Anri and Izaya are siblings. Similar to idea one they don't know their siblings.

Might combine this with idea 18.

Sayaka (Anri mom) had Izaya when she was a teenager and gave him up for adoption. The Orihara parents adopted and raised Izaya.

36

Izaya and Shiki are Father and son. Shiki knows that Izaya is his son. But Izaya doesn't know that Shiki is his dad.

This idea could also be combined with 18.

And could even be combined with the previous idea.

37

A crack fic.

A fusion of a few ideas, 1, 18, 35, 36, and Shiki now has a bunch of kids. And all three of them have issues. lol.

38

Secret relationship series.

A series of fanfictions about Izaya and Shizuo being in a secret relationship with each other.

39

Izaya and Shizuo are too horny for their own good.

They do it in Shinra and Celty's apartment. Don't worry they did clean up most of the condoms, but there were a few they missed.

And they do it in a dumpster and they get caught by Simon. Well at least they're no longer fighting.

I'm sure if this idea is Canon to 38

40

Danny phantom and Gargoyles crossover.

41

Durarara but everyone are cats.

42

Shiki and Shizuo have a talk.

It's a shovel talk.

Possibly Canon 38.

43

Izaya gets the aged and turns back into a small child. And now Shiki and Akabayashi are taking care of him.

44

Inspired by another fanfiction.

Shizuo has the ability to control Izaya thanks to the caller around Izaya's neck. But he ends up going too far, and hurts Izaya really badly.

Don't worry there is no SA stuff in this one.

45

MHA/RWBY.

Bakugou swaps bodies with yang.

crack one shot.

[dontbooatme]

DP x BNHA

I know I've only ever made posts about Danny spontaneously being shoved into the bnha universe. But what if Aizawa gets chucked into Amity Park? (Gotta be Aizawa. Or at least Aizawa in focus. He's.. kinda the reason I got into bnha in the first place. I love that man)

Just imagine how Aizawa Shouta would deal with that? With a quirk like Erasure.

And he shows up in this world where having powers isn't normal. But there IS a whole entourage of villains who have abilities anyway. Except Erasure doesn't work on them. Unbeknownst to him, because they don't have physical bodies. And isn't that tidbit of information news to him. He was operating on the fatal assumption "ghost" wasn't literal. Themed gang, maybe. Localized slang term for quirk users, at least. He figures it out eventually. Why his quirk hasn't been working on anyone in this world.

Except this one kid.

An entire world mostly devoid of quirks. Save for the "ghosts." Except this one kid. Supposedly a ghost too. But the only one his quirk actually works on. The first time he uses it, Danny just barely makes it out of sight as Fenton before Aizawa can catch up to where he'd downed Phantom. They had a very uncomfortable stare down nonetheless before Danny beat a hasty retreat after pointing the man in the wrong direction. The fact that Fenton and Phantom look so different definitely helps Danny here in the few moments Danny had out of Aizawa's line of sight.

And maybe it works on a corrupt billionaire too. If we involve him. Probably will. But that comes later.

I'm just imagining Aizawa showing up in Amity Park, taking one look at this dumpster fire that's protected solely by an overworked and undertrained vigilante teenager and deciding, fine, different world different rules, two can play that vigilante game.

And then there's just a whole new kind of rivalry between a disapproving dadzawa trying to stop this vigilante kid from getting involved and a VERY irked Danny who's extremely distrusting of any new ghost hunters entering his terf and he decides: fine, two can play the sabotage game.

Aizawa ends up very much haunted by an angry, invisible 14 year old who keeps trying to steal his scarf. And keeps writing "Get a cat, and a hobby" on the walls of his leased apartment.

As soon as he figures out how to get around the man's weird power without giving away his identity.

And on the other hand Danny has no idea what to make of this man who shows up out of the blue. He cant seem to fly. He cant make ectoblasts. But he's demonstrated that he does have at least one power. And Danny doesn't know what to think of that. His only experience with superpowered living people is Vlad. Another halfa. Maybe he even assumes this guy is just a new halfa that's only worked out how to use one.. admittedly devastating ability. One that would be more useful if the man actually cared to use it on the other ghosts. But damn, he really has it out for Danny specifically.

And, yeah, Aizawa has to get some upgrades to his gear before he can do anything really effective once his element of surprise wears off in battle. (Imagine he gets his scarf infused with ectoplasm. It ends up giving off a slight glow.)

Danny and co and the rest of Amity Park are suddenly suddenly faced with a whole new vigilante. A very batman-esque man...hobo, who is like.. the sole competent adult ghost hunter (he's not ghost hunter, damnit, he's a pro) in town.

Aizawa probably ends up becoming a freelance Japanese tutor or smth to help him get established in the dp world while he figures out a way back home. Or maybe he even becomes a self defence teacher which could be funny if Danny's parents decide he needs self defence training because of how often he comes home injured after ghost fights. It would be a chance to meet outside their alter egos. And maybe that's the thread that leads to an identity reveal for both of them.

Maybe Aizawa even starts believing he's in the pre-quirk era. At some point. Maybe before the identity reveal. Or maybe after. Danny's whole "glow in the dark" shtick is at least passably reminiscent of the stories of the "glowing baby" he grew up on. Even if this is.. not at all what he expected. He's not actually from a different world. (Because I'm attached to the thrown-in-a-different-universe trope) But that is the line of thinking he ends up stuck on.

And what is he supposed to think of that? After he's meddled so much in this kid's life already. How much has he already changed about the history of his world?

And he responds by suddenly drawing back, canceling Danny's mentoring, stops getting involved in vigilantism. Just trying to limit his influence in the life of who he thinks is an important historical figure in his time. But of course Vlad ends up getting involved and ruining everyone's day in a way that forces them to fix it and everything else.

TL:DR Aizawa gets thrown in a world where he gets a handicap. He makes the best of it anyway. But he does use his quirk on one very unlucky lottery winner. Danny has a new nemesis who apparently doesn't see him as a nemesis. And Vlad's just pissed he's been demoted to Common Rouge.

BNHA x DP crossover

Why do I feel like in every BNHA/DP crossover fic that I’ve read no one seems to be inclined to give Danny a believable cover story for his powers, when a really easy one popped into my head the first time I ever thought of it.

Quirk: Archetypal Ghost

This Quirk gives the individual the potential to develop any ability that is/was correlated to Ghosts in mythology, folklore, and pop culture (with in the human collective conscious).

Why can Danny produce ice? Because ghosts cause cold spots everyone knows that. Why can Danny affect radio waves and cause tech to glitch out? Because ghosts can affect radio waves and cause tech to glitch out. Why can Danny be invisible, intangible, and fly? Because ghosts do those things.

And just on and on for every single one of his powers.

There’s not a single one of of his innumerable abilities that doesn’t fall under the category of “It happened at one point in mythology/folklore/pop culture and has since been adopted as a Ghost thing by the collective conscious”.

Even his more unique and obscure powers like Ghostly Wail, Dream Walking, and Entering forms of media, fall under this explanation. Because Banshees, the idea of spirits of the dead communicating via dream, and the movie The Ring, are all ideas that have existed for more than 200 years by the time BNHA starts, and are firmly entrenched in the collective conscious by the time the story starts.

So yeah, don’t know if writers are intentionally going with “Danny doesn’t know how to explain how all of his many superpowers are just one highly versatile super power (even though the boy is the most generic ghost to ever ghost when it comes to powers)” on purpose. Or if they just don’t want to come up with a proper Quirk name and description for Danny’s halfa status.

Using this method you could even write a fully blown “Danny was Reincarnated into the BNHA world, and his Quirk ended up just being his powers from his previous life in the form of a Quirk” story. Instead of just, “Danny ends up in BNHA world due to Ghost Zone shenanigans and/or ghostly meddling of some sort, but ends up going back to his original world at the end” type of stories.

Danny would actually have to stay in BNHA world and deal with their form of crazy. Instead of just getting mentored for a while, getting to build a support structure of adults who somewhat understand what he’s going through, and then dip before the absolutely mental shit starts to happen.

Also in the Reincarnation stories, at least there’d be a reason as to why and how Quirk-effecting-Quirks would work on Danny’s ghost powers. Because it doesn’t make any sense at all in cross-dimension Danny stories for Aizawa’s Eraser Quirk, or Monoma’s Copy Quirk to work on Danny’s powers at all.

He doesn’t have a Quirk in those types of stories, so there shouldn’t be anything for Aizawa to erase, or for Monoma to copy. He’s half ghost in those stories. No Quirk/quirk factor for them to interface with.

Aizawa and Monoma (and AFO) being able to mess with Danny’s powers when he’s from another dimension and doesn’t have a Quirk, is like if Superman was dumped into BNHA and they were able to affect his powers. Really lazy writing.

And when fic writers make Aizawa/Monoma/AFO able to mess with Danny’s powers, they don’t even bother to try and make it make sense. They don’t make Quirks be caused by this entire dimension having a much higher concentration of ectoplasm and the result of extremely high numbers of human/animal liminality. Which would be an extremely easy way to make it make sense, and it’s right there.

Also in reincarnated Danny fics, you could actually just make Danny AFO’s literal son, instead of just being mistaken for his son by the people who know about AFO. Which would be hilarious. Because Danny’s got an entire past life of dunking on villains who think they have the right to be his father due to power set similarity.

[quirkless-accident]

Could you maybe do something with ghost king Danny attending ua, and with the dorm system they find out? I absolutely adore reveals, and I just think it would be hilarious to see how his classmates could find out, and their reactions! :)

It was supposed to be a normal night.

Everything in the day had gone perfectly. He aced his math test in Ectoplasm's class. Managed to stay awake in Cementoss' class. Absolutely kicked ass with Kirishima and Jirou during foundational heroics, and remembered to call his parents and tell them how school was doing. With enough time to spare for homework.

But just as he was getting settled in, there was a pull at his core.

His transformation came without his permission, and he realized with horror that he was in the outfit that he wore to Council meetings. Fuck-what was happening? Why was his whole body being covered with light? What the fuck was going on?

He tried to resist the pull, but all it did was make his chest ache like a motherfucker. He kept trying though, until he cried out in pain. The bright light enveloped him and in the blink of an eye he was...

In the common room?

He was floating above a sigil that had been painted on a large blanket of canvas, with candles surrounding him. Below him were his very confused classmates, and in the kitchen with a mug halfway to his face was a very wide-eyed homeroom teacher.

"Yo, what the fuck is going on?" Kaminari asked, breaking the tense silence.

"Uh...I think you guys just summoned me on accident?" He asked, stepping down to the ground. He was hyperaware of the crown of ice floating above his head, and the Cape of Constellations brushing his calves.

"We-I was trying to summon the King of Ghosts," Tokoyami stuttered out. "I didn't think it would actually-Danny, are you...The King of Ghosts?"

All of his classmate's eyes were on him. Even Bakugou had stopped whatever he was doing to look at him. In the kitchen, Aizawa's expression was expertly blank, which probably meant he was absolutely furious.

"Uh...I can explain?"

"Please do," Aizawa said as he grabbed his mug and walked to the common room. He stood behind a bewildered Tokoyami. "Please, tell me how my student is apparently the King of Ghosts."

"Well-er, you see," Danny rubbed the back of his neck nervously as he looked from one surprised face to the next. "Almost a year ago there was this big bad guy named Pariah Dark who was let out of his Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep and I helped beat him? And because I was the one that defeated him, by ghost law, I'm the one who has to run the Ghost Zone now."

"I think you misunderstand me," Aizawa says. His voice his horrifyingly calm considering the situation. "Let's rewind to the part where you're apparently a ghost."

"Oh, well, you guys all know about my parents, right? They're a little crazy when it comes to ghosts, and um-well, to make a long story short I got into a lab accident and I sort of...Died? But I'm still alive? It's-I don't really know how the science works, if I'm being honest. But. Yeah. They call me a halfa-half ghost, half human. Half alive, half...dead."

The class was stunned into silence. Danny was so nervous, he knows for a fact that the temperature dropping was his doing and not the AC being fucky again. He really hadn't wanted anybody to find out, let alone like this. And now they were going to think he was a freak. It was just like Spectra said. He's just a creepy little boy with creepy little powers and-"

"What was your quirk before you died?" Tsu asked. Because of course she was going to. She was one of the most observant kids in the class, and the was the one blunt enough to ask what everybody was now thinking. He could feel his face heat up with shame as he looked down, avoiding everybody's gazes.

"I was quirkless before my accident," he tells them. His voice his quiet, but the room is quieter. When he speaks, nobody has a problem being able to hear him.

He hates it. He hates this. He hates being the center of attention. He feels like an exposed nerve that they're all twanging, playing him until he finally snaps. He feels like there's ants under his skin and he can't help but shrink in on himself.

"Do your parents know?" Aizawa asks him. He knows about his parent's reputation as ghost hunters. For their son to be one, it certainly doesn't paint a pretty picture. But thankfully this is one question he doesn't have to worry about.

"Yeah, they do. I told them right before the entrance exam. They-they're helping me out. They've been really supportive. Honestly, I should have told them sooner."

"So do you have any other cool ghost friends?" Uraraka asks. It's enough to break the tension, and Aizawa is looking a little concerned, but not enough to keep pressing. His classmates however, bombard him with questions.

"Are you a ghost hunter too?"

"Is that why you have so many powers?"

"Do ghosts quirks transfer over to the afterlife or do they get a new power depending on how they died?"

"How do the constellations in your cape move like that?"

It's a lot of questions all at once, and Iida, thank time, forces everybody to raise their hands like their in class. But none of them...Care. They probably care that he died in the first place, but they don't care that he's a real ghost-or the Ghost King-and none of them care that he was quirkless. It's so much more than he could have ever asked for.

He looks over at Aizawa, who's back to watching from his spot in the kitchen. He's doesn't bother trying to hide his mischievous grin in his scarf like he usually does as revels in the chaos in front of him. Danny looks to Tokoyami, because it was he apparently who brought Danny downstairs. And, with a completely straight face, says some very off the wall, on brand-Tokoyami shit he's ever heard.

"What a mad banquet of darkness."

[eternal-watcher]

Wait… what if his quirk was being able to balance things perfectly… and that’s how he became a halfa! He is the perfect balance of life and death!

MHA danny phantom AU

Exept the phantom thing isn't his quirk. His quirk was actually something really inane like being able to hold his breath for an hour or a very weak teleconetic ability. Honestly, people weren't even sure what fentons quirk was since he never actually used it.

Nono, the phantom thing happens independent of that. The super hearing, the strength, the ectoblasts, those are ghostly abilitys, not a quirk. Quirk cancelling stuff dosn't work on him.

This leads to alot of hyjix where people try to steal phantoms quirk and just end up with the ability to perfectly ballance small things on there finger, everytime, or something.

Phic Phight - Sing-U-Lator

For: @thefalsefangirl @higgidigs @briarlovesu @bibliophilea @idiot-cheesehead-archenemy

Song inspiration: Addict - Vivziepop and Alastor’s Reprise - Vivziepop Vlad and Danny have a proper talk but it's not really a talk or proper

Danny roughs up his hair, frustrated, why did Lancer always have give such open-ended ‘up to your imagination’ projects? Sure Danny didn't lack creativity but his creativity wasn’t exactly… normal. Plus, how was he supposed to make a song prompt without ripping off Ember? Sometimes being friends with a singer was a major double edge sword.

He’s half tempted to just call Vlad, dude gave some solid advice… even if it sometimes seemed slightly sketchy. What would he know about this though? Maybe he writes poetry in his rich person free time?

Thumping his head on his desk a couple of times, fuck it. Flipping out his phone and leaning back, “hey yo, Vladdie”.

“Daniel? Is there an issue. I am rather… preoccupied at the moment”.

Danny snorts at that, “I’d say with what but you're still all mysterious half the time. Anyways, my homework isn’t home working. Know anything to do with music?”.

“… I’m beginning to believe that you have a very concerning sense of timing, my boy. I’ve rather recently… acquired a seemingly ectoplasm infused music generating bow tie”.

Danny blinks hard at that, not for the first time since meeting the man, Danny’s had the feeling Vlad had sticky fingers or something. Sure, Danny also stole stuff… and maybe did so more now than he used to -which now that he thinks about it, might be ever so slightly due to some Vlad-related encouragement. But that’s a thought for another day- but Vlad was way more sticky fingered. “Why? Though I guess that could just make my music prompt for me”.

Danny jumps at a sudden voice, “that could be quiet a good idea. You are rather bad at this”.

Danny whirls around, “eh yo, what the fuck?!?”.  It’s goddamn GhostWriter… Well at least it’s not Walker, or Boxy, or Skulker.

The GhostWriter seemingly ignores the teen, eyeing the paper instead, “you clearly have no love for the written word, as painful as that is, can’t have you embarrassing ghosts with your lack of lyrical diction”, summoning out his keyboard, fingers flying.

Danny groans loudly, “oh come on! Not this shit again”.

“Language, Daniel”.

The GhostWriter narrows his eyes at the phone, “and I would appreciate my artefact returned”.

And suddenly Danny gets hurtled out his window, half shrieking, “VLAAAAAAAD!”, angrily all the while. Granted… he couldn’t blame his -sometimes sketchy- mentor too much; Danny was usually the one who caused issues and Vlad certainly wasn’t immune to trouble making. Vlad yelping, “butter biscuits!”, on the other side of the line at least means this was probably going to be both of their problem(s).

The two halfas groan and push themselves up from the hard smooth ground.

So they weren’t outside on the dirt/grass. Good to know.

Danny grumbles, “I don’t know whether to blame you, blame GhostWriter, blame you, blame myself, blame you, or blame Lancer”.

Vlad giving a very dry reply, “funny, I was thinking something very similar”, then chuckling faintly, “perhaps halfas merely attract ill luck”, glancing around as he stands and brushes himself off, “we appear to be in some sort of cafe”.

“Ah fuck yes, tell me there’s coffee”.

“Language”, Vlad shakes his head, “you consume enough of that stuff to kill you a few times over”.

Danny snorts, “aw, you’d miss me”.

“But of course”. Vlad’s voice is genuinely fond, making Danny mutter, “I know it’s 🎶till death dooooo us part,  but we're already past that phase🎶”.

Both of them stop at that, Danny looks insanely confused and slightly pissed off; Vlad quirks a single eyebrow. Quirking another eyebrow at the bow tie, which is apparently tied around his wrist now, as it starts making music, a electronic piano beat, “I don’t think this is going to end well”.

Danny grumbling, “sounds like the story of my half life. Shit always so seems to be going south since the whole dyin’ while tryin’ to be helpful thing”.

Vlad eyes him, “but 🎶this could be a brand neeeew start🎶”, grimacing a little after because seriously?

Danny huffing, yeah sure the whole dying thing really legit could have effectively given him a new ‘lease on life’ as it were, but instead he’s just spending all of his time fighting and anxiously hiding his shit. Even if he legit honestly likes the way he is now, he had cool powers and stuff. Grumbling, “tell me about it. 🎶I think I deserve some praise for the way that I ammmmmmmm🎶”, gesturing around a bit ridiculously because he might as well just go along with this and no one else was actually here from the looks of It to witness this bullshit. Being a ghost was fucking great okay? Regardless of his parents anti-ghost ectophobia bullshit.

Vlad glances around and shrugs, he’s been involved in stranger, sitting down in a random chair, “🎶despite becoming a ghost, and ending up nearly comatose🎶”; Vlad was still baffled by how severe Danny’s portal-related accident was. The fact that his body survived getting blasted by an entire dimension worth of ectoplasm and being electrocuted by over four lightening bolts worth of electricity was impressive and a bit horrifying.

Danny rolls his eyes at that, flicking his wrist pointedly at Vlad as the bow tie adds in fucking finger snapping to its tune, “🎶I don’t give a daaaaaaaamnnnnnn🎶”, eyeing Vlad with a bit of a smirk, “what about you?”.

Vlad snorts and stands up, “🎶I let my emotions go, and fudge being a sober hoe🎶”. Danny looks a little scandalised by Vlad’s almost swearing but takes the offered flasks because at this point, fuck it.

The GhostWriter is one hundred percent manipulating this into a musical or some shit, and no one wants to deal with that shit fully sober.

The two taking steps, gesturing, and dancing a little while their hands are almost connected due to holding the flask. Singing together, “🎶this is the maaaantra, this is the liiiiife🎶”. Regardless of anything Danny liked the way he was and he damn well knew Vlad did too.

Separating and twirling, still singing together, “🎶we’re playing with our lives noooooow, till the end of every niiiiiiiight 🎶”.

Vlad eyeing his flask, “🎶eventually surrounded by fiiiire🎶”.

Danny laughing, “🎶my fighting passion igniiiights🎶”.

The two eyeing each other and grinning a little, “🎶a hit of the heaven and hell, a helluva hiiiiigh🎶”. At this point they were in this shit together, even if Danny had a feeling that Vlad was a less than stellar influence, and Vlad knew that Danny might one day force him to reconcile with his ‘old friends’.

Vlad turning away, “🎶I’m addddddicted to the madddddness🎶”, he knew damn well all the crime and less than legal stuff he did was something he got a massive rush from, and what did he care if he screwed a few people over for his own personal gain?

Danny turning away as well, “🎶this tooooown is my atlaaaaantis🎶”, this town, Amity Park, was his Everything and he was protective as Hell of it. It was nice that a lot of the town was starting to actually view him as their protector, made him feel like his purpose was actually being seen.

Vlad chuckles, eyeing Danny quickly, “you do a lot of rather illegal things to protect ‘this town’, you know”. Danny chuckling right back, “as if you don’t do the same to satisfy your possessiveness”.

Danny puts up a fist for a fist bump and Vlad rolls his eyes though supplies him with his requested fist bump, the two singing together again, “🎶we’re forever gonna have a fucking/fudging reason to sin🎶”.

Vlad glares at him a little over the swearing but everything help him if he didn't already know that Danny had a bit of a foul mouth and that it was kind of pointless to correct the boy. Besides, Danny’s ‘soul’ or whatever was a lot cleaner than his own, “🎶let me leaaaaaave my soul to burn🎶”,

Danny pointing at him agressively, “🎶I’ll be breathin’ it in🎶”, then making a face, “I mean that your mentorship is actually kinda good, not that I’m going to literally breath in your burnt ashes, what the fuck GhostWriter”, and glares at the ceiling; faint ghostly laughter could be heard.

Vlad can’t help grinning at that a little, “🎶and I’m addiiiicted to that feeeeeeling🎶”.

Danny gesturing up, “🎶then get hiiiiiigher than the ceiiiiiling🎶”.

Vlad nods curtly, because as not harmful as this was, it was still annoying.

The Ghostwriters voice comes down from the ceiling, “🎶and I’m neeeever gonna want this feeling to end, just conceeeeede and give in to you inner demons again🎶”.  Vlad fires a blast at the ceiling while the bow tie adds in a metallic drum beat for a bit before slowing to a more soft sound.

Danny eyes Vlad a little, “you know I know what you ‘inner demons’ are at this point, right? Your thing for mom?”, cringing and rubbing his neck, “and I mean sure,  🎶yeah, you fell in loooove. But-🎶”, gesturing at the flask, “🎶-you fell deeper in a piiit🎶”.

Vlad blinks, sure he knew Daniel would figure that out eventually but this was definitely not how he wanted that to come out. But what were ghosts if not their past regrets and obsessions? He couldn’t give up on her, not yet, maybe not ever. Throwing a hand out to the side and trying to hide that that comment hurt a little, “well 🎶Death didn’t get us aaabooove. So count your blessing because this is it🎶”, that came out more bitter than he really meant it.

Danny quirks an eyebrow at him and moving to get a bit in his face, “��sooooo you’re not letting goooOooOOOOoooOoo🎶?”.

Vlad shrugs, taking a swig from his flask and eyeing the musical bow tie with contempt, “🎶so what if I misbehave🎶”.

Danny huffing, crossing his arms, “🎶I guess it’s what everybody craves🎶”, then pointing at Vlad, “but, 🎶look around and you’ll already knooooOoOooOOOoow🎶”, pausing and rubbing his temples, “it ain’t gonna work out for you, you know”.

Vlad shrugs more vulnerably than he really means to, “I know, I really do. You think I can’t tell, Daniel? Meeting you and seeing them again makes that so clear. But-”, eyeing the boy, “-an apprentice changes a mentor as much as a mentor changes their apprentice”, holding out a hand, “🎶so, come if you’re feeling brave, and fancy yourself a mentor🎶”.  Bow tie beat picking back up again.

Danny chuckles, okay Vlad’s thing for mom was weird and would never work out but if Vlad was content to redirect himself towards mentoring Danny himself then who was Danny to argue against that? Heck! It was probably a really good thing, plus Vlad was -maybe? Possibly?- morally questionable enough that he wouldn’t take Danny’s shit but also wouldn’t question him about being socially unacceptable. “🎶you want it, I got it. See what you liiiikeeeeEEEeeEe🎶”.

Vlad nods, when he first met Danny and realised what he was, a fellow halfa, it was just a maze of endless possibilities. When he realised that Daniel not only formed as a ghost at a far higher ectoplasmic level but also had more room for growth, he was amazing. Daniel could beat Pariah some day, if he tried. Having that boy as his was far too tempting and far more enticing than any amount of money or Maddie. Daniel could take the world if he wanted, and Vlad could guide that, could stand beside him, “🎶we could have it allllllllll, by the end of any niiight🎶”. If Daniel tried he could probably take over the entire Infinite Realm today if he so desired.

Danny snorts, waving him off, “I can’t tell if you mean this world or the afterlife. But here it would be, 🎶your money and power🎶 and in the ghost zone it would definitely be, 🎶my sinful deliiiight🎶”, chuckling, “you know how much a lot of ghosts hate me at this point”. Him chuckling again, “🎶I’mma hit of that heaven and hell, a helluva hiiiiiigh🎶”.

Vlad can’t help chuckling himself at that, Daniel had managed to piss of an impressive amount of ghosts in a very short amount of time, “🎶it’s like you’re addiiiiicted to the maaaadeness🎶”.

Danny waving him off, “🎶this tooooown will always be my atlaaaaantis🎶”.

Vlad ruffles up his hair, “🎶we’re forever gonna have a fudging reason to sin🎶”.

Danny collapsing over a table dramatically, “🎶let me leave my soul to burn, I’ll be breathing it in🎶”; which Vlad rolls his eyes at.

Vlad pokes the boys forehead, “🎶you’re addiiiicted to the feeeeeeling🎶”, Daniel was more combative than Vlad would actually like. Obviously he didn’t really have to worry about Daniel getting hurt but it really was like he was addicted to getting into fist fights sometimes.

Danny bats his finger/hand off, “have you seen the amount of ghosts that show up to cause problems? It’s a perfect excuse to 🎶get hiiigheeer than the ceeeiliing, and I’m never gonna want that fucking feeling to end🎶”.

Vlad sticks his hands out to the side, “🎶so you’ll just concede and give into your feelings again🎶?”.

Danny glares at him and pushes himself up from laying down on the table, “oh like you don’t constantly, 🎶concede and give into your inner demons again🎶”.

The two stare at each other for a bit, definitely recognising that they were both a bit fucked up and their mentorship/apprenticeship thing was extremely all kinds of fucked up. But neither of them could deny that it was good, they bounced off of each other and called out each others shit. They were both better for it. Vlad’s Obsession over Maddie had dwindled some and Danny had an actual adult to turn to. It was good, they both needed this more than either one was willing to admit.

Then the GhostWriter decides to be an asshole again, piping up from the ceiling again, “🎶you should never want this feeling to end. Just concede and give into your inner ghosts again🎶”.

Danny and Vlad both glare at the ceiling, Vlad firing off a pink ecto-blast for the point of it, the bow tie giving a more mellow beat in response like it was mad at them.

Danny eyeing Vlad, “you really have a problem with my mom,  huh?”.

Vlad rubbing a hand down his face, “I used to think that if it wasn’t for my accident we would have wound up together but…”.

“Mom and dad love each other?”.

“Indeed. Though well, I am a ghost”, looking at Daniel, “you and I both know how hard letting go can be. It’s like 🎶I’m addiiiicted to the soooorrroooowww🎶”.

Danny nodding, leaning against one of the tables, “you'll get there, I think. But yeah, it’s like with all the fights I pick even, 🎶when the buzz ends by tomorrow🎶 and every fight after that, 🎶is another rush of poison flowing into my veins🎶”.

Vlad sighing, “giving both of us 🎶a dose of pleasure that resides by the pain🎶”, craning his neck, “🎶I’m addiiiicted🎶”.

Danny pushing himself up off the tables and gesturing agressively at the windows leading out to Amity Park, “🎶I’m deeepeendaaaant🎶”.

Vlad runs a hand through his hair, smiling a little, “🎶looking awwwwwwsome🎶”. While Daniel leans against the cafe/club window, “🎶feeling heeeelpleeess🎶”.  Vlad glancing back at the teen and not for the first time realising that Daniel, maybe, wasn’t really okay… and honestly? Neither was he. Vlad sighing and walking over to the boy, “🎶I knooooooow I’m raising cain by every highway in hell🎶”, he was thinking that maybe he could move and become the mayor here, “🎶maybe things won’t be so terrible inside this home town🎶”; it would be good for Daniel and maybe it was a change that Vlad himself needed.

Danny jerks while the bow tie tune picks up again in a more fancy dancing manner, “you’re thinking of moving here?”. Vlad nods, so Danny continues, “I think that would be good, honestly. 🎶’cause we’re both one of a kind🎶”, Danny making a mocking gesture at him, “and I’m sure I can 🎶give a burning fool a place to dwell🎶”.

Vlad grabbing his hand an twirling him around ridiculously, “🎶and your ideals are just laughable, but hey kid what the Hell. We’re both charming ghost beaux🎶”.

Danny laughing and going along with the twirling, “🎶’cause inside of both of us is just a lost cause🎶”.

Vlad chuckling right back, “🎶but we’ll dress us up for now with a smile🎶”.

The GhostWriter adding in, “🎶a wicked smile🎶”, with an eerie laugh.

Vlad nods to himself, officially making his decision. This town could not survive with just Daniel and was definitely going to need someone with deep pockets who could manipulate the government into giving them money for all the insane damages. “🎶I’ll show these simpletons some proper class and styyyyyyleee🎶”.

Danny snorting, “🎶and I’ll chlorinate your closets with some punny flair🎶”. That feels ominous in Vlad’s opinion.

They nod at each other, speaking in unison, “🎶here in this spooooooooky town, we’re sure our plan is sound🎶”, both of them pointing up, “🎶and our little annoyance will be fooooouuuuund🎶”, which promptly results in the GhostWriter falling through the ceiling due to the songs/GhostWriters keyboards manipulation of reality, and the two halfas outright pounce on him.

His shriek is very girly and their maniacal laughs are very… maniacal.

Danny stuffing the ghost in his thermos and ‘Vlad’s’ artefact too for good measure after yanking it off the other man’s wrist. “So you’re really going to just, try to become mayor here and move?”.

“There’s not much else for me to do with my time and someone needs to keep an eye on you”, Vlad sighing, “and maybe being more exposed to the way Maddie really is will help things”.

Danny chuckles, “good vampiric mentor”.

“I will decide you need a lesson in endurance”.

“Oh be still my fucking tits!”.

“Daniel!”.

Danny just pouts exaggeratedly at him as they try to sneak out of the restaurant/cafe/club without being noticed. That predictably doesn’t go as planned, with Valerie poking her head around, “I have a lot of questions about that opera bullshit”. Oh Ancients, she saw that shit.

Vlad puts up his hands, “now Valerie-”. But Danny cuts him off, dramatically putting a hand to his chest, “are you cheating on me”; this situation was beyond un-fucking-salavagable. Making both his mentor and his friend/fellow ghost hunter look at him like they both bit lemons. Danny rolling his eyes, “what? The only reason for Vladdie to not be super freaked out is if Valerie here already knew about him and no way he would tell anyone other than an apprentice or maybe close friend”.

Vlad shrugs very awkwardly, “I’m not one to put all my eggs in one basket”. Both Valerie and Danny glare a bit murderously, before punching him in the face. Vlad just sighs, “I suppose I deserved that”.

Both of them snapping, “you think?!?”.

Valerie looking at Danny, “who did you even think got me into this?”.

Danny shrugs, “I thought you were just following spontaneous murderous desire all on your lonesome”.

“You’re a fucking idiot”.

Vlad sighing, “yes, and a fool that should dispose of a certain someone before he causes us any more issues”. Danny rolls his eyes, “at least I got help with my project out of this… kinda”, then actually moves to meander off like he’s told, shouting behind himself, “still good for training tonight?!”.

Vlad eyes Valerie, who shrugs, so Vlad shouts back, “as always, though you’ll have a sparring partner this time and finish that project first! I don’t want you wasting this evenings absolute mess!”.  Danny holds up double thumbs up before tripping over his own feet and falling to the ground flat on his face.

Valerie facepalms, “what have I gotten myself into?”.

---

Mr. Lancer was later both very confused and impressed with the… odd direction of Daniel’s song prompt project. It was like one part theatrical musical, one part taking out some kind of issue(s) with song, and one part spite? It was creative though, which is what he asked for. Full marks and maybe a side note about seeing the school therapist.

End.

Prompts: Write a fic inspired from any song released in the last six years. and Danny has to go to Vlad for help and Lancer gives the class a project that Danny finds a very ghostly solution to. and Try as he might, Danny can’t think of a prompt for his creative writing homework. So Ghost Writer decides to step in, and do the writing for him. Shenanigans ensue. and AU where Vlad isn't blatantly evil in Bitter Reunions, and Danny initially sees no reason not to accept his mentorship and Vlad was starting to regret stealing his current artifact.

DPxMHA AU - PT AU - My Phantom Academia

DPxMHA au where the Fentons live in Mustafu because of some massive tragedy that happened there at some point over the last 200 years since quirks first appeared & it's said to be haunted. They're still ghost hunters, so they're still considered outcasts in society. Dina also exists in this au. Dina being Diana Selena Fenton, Danny's twin sister whom I made up.

Anyway, the Fentons have lived there since a little after Danny & Dina turned 4. Same with Tucker's family. Meanwhile, Sam had only just moved there from America in middle school.

Jack has a basic strength-enhancement quirk, Maddie has a basic intelligence quirk, & Jazz has a memory quirk.

Danny is quirkless, while Tucker has a basic metal-bending quirk & Dina has a sort of 'healing' quirk. I'll explain further in a little bit.

Sam has perfect dark vision, the ability to see people with invisibility quirks, & spirits, but she's actually considered quirkless due to her toe joint. She also has tapetum lucidum much like Danny & Dina after becoming hanyuu (halfas). She's also an advocate for the quirkless & people with quirks that are considered either weak or villainous.

I call Dina's quirk Injury Exchange. It's a stronger form of one of her grandmothers' quirks.

Her quirk would allow her to exchange someone else's injury for her healthy equivalent. So, if someone had a cut on their hand, she'd be able to take that cut from them, leaving unblemished skin behind.

This works no matter how severe the injury. Meaning that she can even exchange missing limbs & organs. This process works via the manipulation of cells into energy, exchanging the energy, then turning it back into cells, but the difference being that those cells, right down to their molecules, would be that of the recieving person's cells. So, there is no risk of the body denying the new part.

Now, Dina can also give someone else her own injuries, but she's very much against that sort of thing.

She can also divide the severity of the energy between herself & the other person, but only after years of practice.

She is unable to heal scars though.

However, it was quickly discovered that while this came with a slight healing factor (it's actually due to a mix of her Fenton-Nightingale dhampir qualities & full ecto-liminality), but she has no regeneration factor at this point to go along with it, so she was urged to only use it for non-severe injuries.

---

Since Jack has difficulty speaking most languages, including Japanese, the Fentons regularly speak English at home. This sorta bleeds into Danny's relationships with his friends & they generally talk to each other in English when they don't want others to understand what they're saying. As a result, Izuku quickly becomes fluent.

---

On the other hand, Bakugo goes outta his way to learn English just so he can understand them whenever they do & will be an asshole about them "thinking they're better than him" just for trying to have a private conversation.

Jazz has an entire dissertation written about that boy's many issues.

Either way, Izuku is part of their group & had been since a little after everyone learned he was quirkless. He'd been getting beat up by Bakugo when Danny, Dina, & Tucker came in to save him. They've been friends ever since. Then, in middle school, Sam moved there & their quartet became a quintet.

Because of this, Izuku is more confident in himself & no longer considers Bakugo his friend. He knows what friends are now & Bakugo isn't one. Thanks to his friends, he doesn't develop the pseudo-Stockholm Syndrome that we see in canon. So he doesn't call him Kacchan anymore & to be honest, the first time the greenette called Bakugo, Bakugo it stung them both. It still gets on the hot-headed boy's nerves but he can't react to it because people would get suspicious.

Tucker & Dina even suggested that Izuku could be the Analyst Hero because of all his note-taking. That he should try analyzing villains & using the information against them when he's a hero.

Either way, Aldera doesn't exist here. Casper Middle does in its place. The only teacher there that's worth a shit is Lancer as he doesn't allow discriminatory rhetoric, including anti-quirkless bullshit, in his class. He's a good, if flawed, teacher, but he's surrounded by horrible ones & he tries to be there for the kids targeted.

His quirk is the ability to remember every word of every book he's ever read. Very useful for an English lit teacher. Especially since he enjoys literature so much.

The A-listers are still a thing, but only in middle school. Bakugo's considered one of them, but he honestly hates the lot of them.

In this story, Danny & Dina's accident happens on the first day of their second-to-last year in middle school & Izuku was there for it. At first, they try to pretend that the accident just gave them quirks or something, which prompts Izuku to start writing about it since he'd never seen anyone with multiple quirks before Dina. However when these ghosts, real freaking ghosts with similar abilities to Danny & Dina, start coming out to terrorize people, they begin to get a sick feeling in their stomachs as to what that could mean for the twins.

---

This is the start of the Danny Phantom arc & it goes relatively the same as in the show, just plus Midoriya.

However, this also means that Reign Storm takes place.

Now that Dina & her brother became Phantoms, she's got super healing & regeneration.

From then on, she was able to take much more severe injuries with little-to-no issue. But it wasn't until after TUE & the development of her ability to heal others with her hands (she calls it her Lay On Hands) that she began to really experiment with the possibilities.

Even still, it wasn't until someone lay before her dying with a hole in their lung that she recklessly used it on them. At first Danny thought Dina would die, but it turns out that their cores act as an ectoplasmic memory bank containing blueprints for their body. Because of this, they are both able to regenerate almost any body part near-perfectly. Scars remain, but they do eventually fade. Though, not completely.

She can heal from things like broken arms & whatnot in a matter of hours. Sometime minutes if she regularly drinks bone broth & 3-bone tea. But missing organs can take a week to heal, but again, she can minimize that time with the right food intake.

However, when Dina uses her quirk, the more severe an injury, the less her ghostly self-healing factor works. It still heals, but at a slightly slower rate than other injuries.

She recommends that people consume appropriate foods for up to a week beforehand to help along the process as it puts less strain on her & her quirk. Things like drinking 3-bone tea when you have a broken arm.

Using her Lay On Hands at the same time can mitigate the adverse affects she receives even further.

Again, she has to have specified diets in these situations to help specific missing or injured body parts to heal.

At the same time, her quirk doesn't work on body parts that she doesn't have. So, if a guy lost his... you know... her quirk wouldn't work on him because she doesn't have one.

She also discovers that she has x-ray vision, but it's nowhere near the efficiency of Superman's version. Really, it acts more like an internal x-ray machine, all black & white & slightly fuzzy. Not to mention that she's unable to see through walls.

However, despite it's lack of efficiency, it majorly improves the efficiency of her healing of others by showing her exactly what she needs to heal, which allows her to guide the energy right where it needs to be.

---

At the same time, the appearance of these Ghosts (also called Hereafter Ghosts, Eku-Yuurei, & Zumu-Yuurei) will prompt the appearance of youkai & regular yuurei (Earthbound Spirits of Japanese descent) which is another issue entirely. While Danny & Dina can fight the hostile ones back, their ghost powers aren't especially effective against youkai that aren't yuurei as well. They still work, but not as well.

Not to mention that they can't really use the thermos on the Earthbound spirits or youkai because they aren't made purely of ectoplasm like the Eku-Yuurei are. So, they have to figure out other ways to fight & contain them, or in the regular yuurei's cases, help them move on, which will sometimes eventually involve the use of magic, as well as old school Shinto & Buddhist methods.

Magic for them specifically being Danny's cryomancy & asteromancy & Dina's hydromancy & lunamancy. But for the old school Japanese methods, they need someone with reiki. (To be determined.) Turns out that many of the more humanoid youkai had been hiding amongst humans as people with mutation & emitter quirks since quirks came into being & had been masquerading as regular humans before that since a little after the Sengoku period, around the Meiji era. Of course, no one knows this except the youkai themselves & the hanyou descendants of them, not to mention families of miko, kanushi, hoshi, & taijiya that actually follow the old traditions. It is kept a closely guarded secret by the Nippon Magical Division.

Halfa is the English term for half-ghosts, which means that it wouldn't be the word used too often for Danny, Dina, & Vlad here. Instead, the word used most often would be 'hanyuu' which literally translates to 'half' & 'apparition.'

Here, people are struggling with the idea that these things could be yuurei (spirits) & try to come up with other, quirk-based answers, but are unable.

For Bakugo's part, he had at least one encounter with an Eku-Yuurei & it sorta traumatizes him because his quirk does nothing at all. He may or may not be kinda, sorta... afraid of ghosts now because they can't be blasted away by his quirk & that scares him, but never in his life would he ever admit to it.

For a while, Shouto is the only one to really believe that the Ghosts (Eku/Zumu-Yuurei) are actual Ghosts.

Moving on, because of Izuku's influence, he's able to convince the rest of his friend group to take on hero personas to hide their identities & still help their friend fight ghosts. At first, they just use them when actively patrolling, but Danny (the one with the hands on experience & knack for engineering & science), Tucker (the hacker, coder, & programmer), & Midoriya (being the one to come up with a lot of ideas for support equiment & power usage) eventually work together to study Danny's ability to change clothes when he transforms to build rings that do something similar, but only with clothes, by using ectoplasm. (They don't realize that they basically just revolutionized herowork, because if Heroes don't need to take the time to change then they can get a lot more done. Especially, if they can just low-key it around town on their days off, then immediately be ready with this ring's help. It's even more useful to Underground Heroes.)

They don't really have names, but they opt for a uniform that resembles Danny & Dina's suits & masks. Sam's is a 2 piece with the top being a purple tunic with black racing stripes down the sides & where the neck part is triangular instead of circular. The gloves & boots also have triangular ends. Her bottoms are black & she wears combat boots with steel toes (shaped like a jawless skull). Her mask is black & bat-shaped much like Damian Wayne's mask.

Tucker's is white with orange accents with blue, camo cargo-like bottoms, a bulkier belt for more ghost tech & instead of a mask, he wears a blue visor to hide his features. (Eventually, it'll be more than just a visor, but for now it's just for aesthetics.) No beret, instead a little bit of dread action like when he went goth for a bit, & the tips of the fingers on his gloves & the toes & ankles on his boots are blue.

Izuku's is just basically Danny's, but it's the same color as Izuku's hero costume will be with a basic domino mask to match.

When the Fenton Phones are invented, they each have one as part of their suit before they're built into the masks themselves.

When the Ghost Gloves are made, they become a standard part of Izuku's suit along with the Boo Staff which is an anti-ecto bo staff. When he eventually realizes that he's better with his feet, the team build Ghost Boots for him too. (At some point, the gloves & boots are made more streamlined by Danny & Dina, creating gloves & combat boots with circuitry in the fabric, metal studs on the knuckles, & metal toes. At which point, they become standard for Sam & Tucker too because they're less bulky now. Though, Izuku's will become more bulky once the rest of the team forgives him for keeping OFA a secret from them in order to better withstand his new power.)

Sam is the best shot & is the one with the most anti-ecto guns as well as a Fenton Whiplash, which is just an anti-ecto whip.

Tucker has the most anti-ecto gadgets, in-general.

Tucker's visor links to his pda & has thermal imaging, infrared, night vision, & a Fenton ectographic lense that allows him to see an outline of ghosts even when they're invisible. It takes a good while to make the parts compacted enough to all be used in the others' masks. Years even. (Upon gaining access to nanobots, he & Danny manage to build a spectrometer so compact it actually fits in Tucker's visor. This allows him to see those with invisibility quirks.)

Vlad is an outright villain, one well-known in the criminal underground of America but is too slippery for the authorities. Plasmius, that is. No one knows that Plasmius is also Masters.

However, he is a businessman & was unable to build a full portal from the proto-portal on his own until the Fentons' portal was finished. As such, he only has personal experience with blob ghosts & Skulker. Most of his business in the Infinite Realms was done via a middleman until then. Typically, Skulker himself, as he was the only intelligent ghost able to fit through the proto-portal. As such, keep in mind, all his abilities either came with age or training at home. So, his irl experience in fights are very little & he prefers fights that he knows he will win at & his battle style is to overwhelm opponents with raw power. Occassionally, playing with his food. Not only that, he had no reason to be constantly fighting ghosts & his most basic powers already give him a leg up against quirked individuals. Put these things together & it seems like, though he'd be stronger than in canon, he likely isn't that powerful compaired to his actual potentional. As such, once Danny & Dina start going to U.A. Vlad's gonna realize that not only do they not need him specifically to train them, but that the younger half-ghosts will catch up to him quickly.

Vlad was also born quirkless, so that sorta just added to his overall bitterness in-general. Upon learning about the Twins, he began preparations to take up residence in his Tokyo home to better be able to pester Danny & Dina before setting up a new place of business for VladCo in Musutafu. Walter Weston & his sons moved there for his work.

Ember does eventually show up, but not until she goes on her Japan tour after taking America by storm. This, however, makes her a much more powerful opponent than in canon because she'd technically already accomplished her goal in Fanning the Flames without Danny there to stop her.

Spectra is a wraith & goes wherever there is misery to be had. It just so happens that Casper with all it's quirkist bs is the perfect place for her.

The other important events such as Fright Night, Shades of Grey & every other episode with Valerie, Kindred Spirits, Reign Storm, Ultimate Enemy, Frightmare, Urban Jungle, & D-Stabilize also occures. As well as several other episodes with characters introduced as a result of Vlad's meddling such as Vortex. Control Freaks also happens, but it's due to Freakshow being run out of America.

While Clockwork does appear here, he does so as Daikoku, but with Clockwork's middle age body type & coloration & he doesn't switch between ages here, just staying in his adult form because the age shifting is specifically a quality of his American form. He also goes by Daikoku here because despite Danny, Dina, Sam, & Tucker being originally American, they've lived in Japan for a good while. Not to mention that Izuku is just straight Japanese.

Danny & his sister still manages to find the Far Frozen & Frostbite. Though, I imagine that they originally find a different island of ice first where a tribe of dead yukionna live & they send the pair to the Far Frozen.

Izuku tells Danny & Dina that they should apply for the Hero Course at UA because he's convinced that they'd make for amazing Pro Heroes, but Danny has all kinds of anxiety over that, especially after the Ultimate Enemy. Besides, he still wants to be an astronaut. On the other hand, though Dina wants to be a marine biologist, she has also seen where things are going & has decided that she might as well go whole hog on this hero thing.

Eventually, the beginning of My Hero happens. Izuku had been a vigilante for 2 years, but he's excited to become a hero because he knows that if he can fight ghosts & youkai, he can sure as hell fight ordinary villains. He's even fancying being the first quirkless hero in Japan with a focus on analyzing villains. He had convinced Team Phantom to take up Mrs. Fenton's offer of teaching them karate. However, upon discovering his personal aptitude for kicking, he later takes up taekwondo or kickboxing as well & this allows him to come up with Shoot Style much sooner.

When Bakugo burns his book. Instead of being depressed, he gets angry. He tells his friends to go on because he wants to think. Once they're gone, the Slime Villain attacks. Izuku actually reacts quick enough to dodge out of the way, immediately analyzing him for weaknesses. The villain tries to grab the kid, but no luck. This is when All Might appears & once the villain is taken care of, Izuku has a moment of vulnerability & asks All Might the same question he does in the show.

All Might becomes Small Might & answers much like in the show. Izu becomes depressed at first, hurt by his hero, but then Izuku remembers his friends & becomes determined to prove even All Might wrong.

The event with the Slime Villain & Bakugo happens & Izuku handles it much the same, if more composed & with reflexes honed by ghost fighting & taijiya work, karate with Mrs. Fenton, & taekwondo/kickboxing. When the Pros get onto him, he's honestly offended & thinks to himself, 'at least I did something, you hypocrites.' He becomes angry, seeing Bakugo get praised for basically causing the problem by shooting off his quirk willynilly. Don't get me wrong, Izuku still feels guilty for being the one to accidentally let the Slime Villain go, but he can't help but judge the double standard here. It's part of why he appreciates Sam getting him to help her with advocating for quirkless & 'villainous/weak' quirks' rights. It helps him to better see & identify these wrongs in society & not just think that it's normal.

All Might asks him to be his successor, but then tells him that he can't tell anyone & this creates a problem for Izuku. While he's suspiciously okay with not telling his mom as he knew that she'd always secretly hoped that he'd give up his dream eventually despite how much she loved him (like, she's a good person & a good mother, but she can't help but want her baby safe), he was decidely not okay with keeping his friends in the dark. They'd supported his dream since the very beginning & he didn't want to betray their trust.

Then, summer comes & Reality Trip occurs. The locations they go to are, instead, Tanegashima, home of the Tanegashima Space Center, for Danny, the Churaumi Aquarium in the Okinawa Prefecture for Dina, Akihabara's just entirety for Tucker, & Tokyo for both Sam & Izuku because of the International Conference of Gothic Fashion & All Might Tower.

However, Izuku was unable to go on the road trip because of his training with All Might, but is unable to tell them that so he just makes up an excuse & feels especially guilty about it afterwards because of what happened. Upon learning that the twins' secret was out & that they & the team were on the run, Izuku left too but is captured by Freakshow.

His previous training & experience as a vigilante does lessen the amount of strain on his body & he's able to finish the beach much quicker than in the show. This allows him more time to acclimate to the power of OFA & he doesn't have to rely entirely on the 60 points he got in canon. But that's getting ahead of ourselves.

After that is over, not long after, Dina starts looking to apply to the Hero Course & she's struggling over whether to apply as Fenton or Phantom until she decides to play it safe as Fenton, but that means that she can't go ghost & has to rely on her quirk & her enhanced human capabilities as well as her mother's training. She can make it out to seem like her quirk mutated so that it allowed her to use her healing energy as kinetic energy & increase her physical attributes as well as woke up a dormant regenerative property. These things are at least related enough that she can get away with saying that they're all the same quirk. Even so, she does very well on villain points & racks up with hero points. So, she gets a really high score.

Tucker applies for the Support Course where he actually gets himself a girlfriend in Hatsume. Sam is in Gen Ed, but is determined to make it into the Hero Course through the Sports Festival just to prove she can.

Eventually, during the rest of summer Phantom's caught by Nezu, who'd been studying him ever since he first appeared, & offers him a full scholarship to U.A.'s Hero Course. The little creature knows who his civilian self is & promises not to tell anyone.

By this point, everyone is aware that the ghosts are real ghosts & heroes in Musutafu are required to have at least 1 piece of anti-ecto equipment made by the Fentons & to have basic hunter training (the sort of hero they are tends to determine what sort of anti-ecto weaponry they get; All Might gets Ghost Gloves, Snipe gets an anti-ecto gun, Midnight gets the Jack-o-Ninetails & Fenton Whiplash, that sort of thing; all have thermoses of their own), but even still Phantom & his team are far & above more effective than the Heroes at it & this causes further strain between Heroes & society. Part of why Nezu opted to try & enroll the other twin was to help smooth over this problem at least a little.

At the same time, most Heroes are unable to do much in regards to the regular yuurei & youkai. They can at least knock most youkai out with their quirks, as ones that don't directly affect the quirk factor work just fine, but trying to contain them without specialized equipment that is specifically made to do so, is a fool's errand.

Nezu eventually convinces Danny to attend partially. He gets his parents to let him take classes online, when he's also gonna be attending U.A. as Phantom because he doesn't want anyone to know he's Fenton. So, his regular classes are online & the ones that pertain to heroics & science are at U.A. This allows Danny to better maintain his grades & still be able to go out & fight ghosts.

Danny then informs Nezu of Izuku's analytical abilities & this immediately piques the principle's interest. He eventually takes Izuku on as a personal student, giving him private lessons to improve his analytics. He adores the boy!

Danny & Dina both pass the entrance exam, Danny with a higher score than Bakugo & this tickles the ghostly twins positively pink. They hate that asshole for all the grief he'd given Izuku as much as Danny hated Dash & Dina hated Paulina. Bakugo also picked on Danny & Dash would occasionally mess with Izuku, however it was well-known in Casper that while Danny was considered Dash's punching bag, Izuku's was Bakugo's. Anyway, Bakugo hates the ghost kid for one-upping him. He especially hates that he was hanging out with Deku.

During the exam, Izuku's battle-honed instincts cause him to react immediately when Mic says go & he uses his new quirk to destroy a few robots before saving Uraraka. This lands him third on the board, right behind Bakugo. This only further pisses the pissy little pomeranian off.

By this point, the Phantoms & their Team are famous & is a hot topic of debate & controversy amongst all walks of life, especially teens. Everyone knows that the twins are ghosts (but not that they're Danny & Dina) so they don't know if they should be held to the same standards as humans & be considered vigilantes or not. As the terms 'hero,' 'villain,' & 'vigilante' are all defined, in law, by the use of quirks in this day & age, but only Dina uses her quirk as Phantom & everyone just assumes that it's a ghost power as the Fentons have proven that ghosts can't have quirks because quirks are bound to the organic body.

The same could be said of the human members of Team Phantom. In fact, many of their fans insist that the humans don't seem to use any quirks & only use equipment. As such, they aren't breaking any laws since the law against vigilanteism has long since been redefined to refer to the illigal use of quirks to perform herowork.

As such, even when Team Phantom does involve themselves in herowork, they can't really be arrested because they haven't broken any laws as far as anyone knows. In all honesty, the ones who complain the loudest tend to be corrupt heroes & cops, people involved with the Commission (because they can't control them), the radical left, the media, the Fenton parents, & the GIW. So, basically no one else.

The Fentons are adamant that the Phantom Pair can't be judged by human standards & are simply menaces & pests, but there's much debate over this.

Danny takes Hagakure's place because they have, essentially, the same power, but Danny has even more. So, she ends up in Class 1-B instead.

Because of Izuku having better control of OFA than in canon, Aizawa doesn't feel the need to target him specifically & so Izu scores higher than Kirishima, but lower than Bakugo, who, again, scores lower than Danny.

During the quirk assessment test, it's discovered that, when Phantom put on the school's exercise uniform, that rings automatically appeared around his waist &, initially he panics thinking that he's turning back to a human in front of his classmates until they all realized that the blue in the uniform had just turned black. This puzzled him & Iida scolded him about the uniform policy, but Danny defended himself, saying that he didn't do it intentionally. He tried to make it turn back, but he couldn't before it was time to leave & meet their sensei outside.

Of course, Aizawa noticed immediately & told him to change back, but Danny informed him that it happened automatically upon putting on the gym uniform & he'd been trying to change it back since then. This interested most of the class, especially Izuku, who figured that they should look into this new aspect of Danny's powers later when they had time. He especially wondered why it didn't do the same when he put on the school uniform.

Upon experimenting with this, they discovered that the same happened with Dina & that it only happened when the outfit didn't conform with their ghost form's color scheme & that whatever was determining this must've thought that the school uniform was close enough that it only changed minor details like the color of the tie & the buttons.

This moved on to Team Phantom trying to figure out how to permanently change the twins' costumes for upgraded suits. It was eventually discovered that the Phantoms' suits were part of their ghostly auras. This aura connects the suit to the Phantoms themselves & not only gives the clothes regenerative properties, but even if they're cut off of them, should they transform back into Phantom later, the old suits will disappear & reappear back on them again, good as new.

Also, if they focused on it while holding their new suit, they can shift their aura from their old suit to their new one. This results in the old suits' colors reversing & becoming a normal hazmat again (though, the original suits become fried to a crisp & gives the Team momentary PTSD as they remembered what did that), while the new one takes on Phantom's color scheme & gains the old suits' ghostly properties. Izuku & Dina both find it very interesting.

Either way, Aizawa has to let the matter go. If Phantom can't control it then what can he do?

Anyway, during the USJ, Danny learns that Shigiraki's quirk only works between 25-50% as well on him in ghost form. The reason turns out to be because, in ghost form, a hanyuu's cells are constructed from ectoplasm which works as an alternative to matter. Shigiraki's quirk only works on matter.

So, while it's not as effective on halfas/hanyuu, Danny & Dina have to be careful because it eats away at their human halves while leaving their ghost half in-tact. For whatever reason, their ghostly healing doesn't work as well on areas affected by Shigi's quirk & they're forced to heal at a somewhat regular speed.

Later, the grape shit is transfered out of class for repeated sexual harassment offenses because Danny & Dina make a point to report every offense that they witness & after the Sports Festival, Sam is transferred in to take his place because she got farther than Shinso.

Sam & Shinso become good friends & they end up dating for a while before the Gregor thing. It doesn't last, but they enjoy themselves & it ends amiably between them.

Izuku takes Ochako's words from the beginning of the year to heart & uses "Dekiru" instead of Deku for his hero name.

Neither Danny nor Dina is there for the Stain events, because Danny is working with Ectoplasm to learn how to duplicate because it turns out that Ectoplasm's quirk actually works via ectoplasm, making him ecto-liminal. However, this means that Ectoplasm is practically the only Pro able to do anything about the Eku-Yuurei in the beginning.

As a result, Jack & Maddie are initially suspicious of him for it & demands that he submit to rigorous testing to prove that he really is just a human with an ectoplasm-based quirk rather than a Ghost impersonating a hero or being possessed by one. They also demand to be there for it to make sure there is no ghostly tomfoolery involved & as the people with the most knowledge of Ghosts, they are allowed.

At the same time, because Ectoplasm really is just a human with a ghostly quirk, all tests show this & while it took a while for Jack & Maddie to come to terms with the idea that there are instances where organic matter can interact with ectoplasm without the organic matter breaking down, this means that they aren't as skeptical of the kids having ghost powers once Doctor's Disorders comes around.

Jack is the one who comes around quickest, siting that it opens up so many new possibilities. However, they keep a wary eye on Ectoplasm as they aren't sure if this means that he'll eventually become an obsessive evil monster like other Ghosts. This also interests Izuku & Quirk Researchers as it suggests that quirks can interact with things previously considered myth.

It brings into question whether Ryukyu's transformation quirk is just turning her into something that merely looks like a dragon or if it turns her into an actual dragon. Which, if the former, would indicate that dragons are real!

It turns out that her actual quirk performed something like draconic atavisim on her, turning her into a draconid because she had a dragon ancestor. Learning this, she tries to learn more about this aspect of herself & learns that she has something like aerokinesis & her scales can reflect ectoplasm, giving her some form of defense against Eku-Yuurei.

Despite this, Ectoplasm actually works closely with the Fentons to learn as much as he can about his situation & how best to fight these Eku-Yuurei.

On the other hand, Dina is interning with Recovery Girl & is looking into becoming a Rescue Hero. Because she initially starts off hiding the fact that she's a Phantom, she has to rely on her quirk & physical abilities in order to help out.

Sam, Tucker, Jazz, & Izuku are all ecto-liminal to a degree, Jazz far & above more so than the others, but it doesn't start showing itself until later.

The class does eventually learn about Danny's identity, but not until, like, after they all move into the dorms. As soon as that happens, Dina reveals herself too. Bakugo has a bit of a fit over not only Deku hiding his quirk & mocking him behind his back all those years, but also the twins.

However, that sets both of them off. Dina informs the asshole that not only did they only get their powers a couple years ago, they weren't even a quirk. They're ghost powers that they only got when she & her brother died & were ripped back to life. Danny shows the jerk the massive lichtenberg scars that start from the palm of his hand, goes up his arm before finally ending over his heart. So, Bakugo could fuck the hell off!

A week after the USJ & before the Sports Festival, Dina begins dating Iida for a few years. Which means that Iida gets pretty stressed out when Dina just up & decides to use her quirk on people with particularly severe injuries.

After a very serious talk about this after a near fatal use of her quirk, Dina stops just using it on such severe cases & begins to go through a process where she uses her ghostly healing powers 1st until it's much less severe & has medical assistance on standby before she uses it. This helps to alleviate some of Iida's stress as he knows that he can't stop her from trying to help those in need. She's a hero-in-training afterall.

In case none of you know, this will also be DFO.

---

Instead of moving to Musutafu to become mayor, Vlad just moves there to set up a new branch of his business & uses that as an excuse to keep messing with his little badger & kitten, as well as their little friends.

While Danny is a fan of Thirteen, he isn't as big of one as Uraraka simply because Thirteen, despite being a space-themed Hero is just a Rescue Hero. As such, they don't actually work with JAXA. Like, they support the program, but aren't really trained as an astronaut or astrophysicist or aerospace engineer or anything like that.

If Danny has to be a Pro Hero, he's determined to instead actually work with the Space Program.

Danny, due to his experience helping his parents out around the lab, has a lot of experience with their tech & has quite a natural talent for engineering. This eventually comes to Power Loader's attention & he asks if the kid would be willing to transfer classes, but Danny turns him down. Despite the fact that doing so would give him a leg up on other applicants trying for the Space Program later, Danny feels like he has a responsibility to keep to heroics. Power Loader says that he can dual major later if he gets his grades up. Power Loader himself is a Support Hero after all. If nothing else, Danny should at least consider joining the Support Club as it will also give him credit towards engineering which can be applied to a space-oriented career. The teenage ghost boy said he'd think about it.

Dina, on the other hand, is a major fan of Gang Orca & Selkie.

Many of the teachers recommend several different types of hero work to Danny & Dina, from rescue to underground, because of just how versatile their powers are.

---

Dina actually goes through a series of extreme medical complications starting from the Stain incident & ending after the Overhaul arc.

While she wasn't there for the Stain arc, she was there just after. Seeing how much it hurt Iida to see his brother like that, she offered to try & heal him. While she didn't guarantee that it would work, she at least thought it was a good idea to try.

So excited was Iida that he entirely forgot about the other aspect of her Quirk. Specifically that it was Injury Exchange. It worked, but both Iidas were shocked & terrified when she couldn't get up from the seat she very specifically took before performing the process.

In the end, Iida is extremely grateful, but insanely worried for her health. Luckily, she reminds him that her quirk also has a regeneration aspect to it, which calms both Iidas down somewhat. Iida becomes flustered & lectures her about recklessness. To which Dina replies that recklessness implies that one didn't think things through. To the contrary, she thought quite a lot about the choice, weighing the pros & cons. It's simply that she came to the conclusion that it was worth more to help a hero back onto his feet when she, herself, would recover from those same injuries just fine with a little aid.

Needless to say, Iida was a little blindsided by this explanation & blushed, chastised.

After Kimino Ward, Dina uses her quirk on All Might, surprising & horrifying him as she falls to her knees coughing up blood.

She's rushed to the emergency room.

Toshinori is eternally grateful, but begs her to never do such a thing again. That she shouldn't have done so to begin with. To which, she responds by saying that he spent his whole life giving up everything for society. The least he deserves is to be able to live the rest of his life healthy.

To this, Toshinori is stunned.

As a result of this, she's out of commission for a while until she recovers from losing a lung & her stomach.

When she later hears about Nighteye, she stumbles to his room & does the same, nearly dying again right there, but saving his life.

This is the incident that leads to Iida & her having a serious talk & Dina taking more safe measures when using her quirk on severe injuries.

Day 6: Freeze/Burn

Mom, you killed me and you didn't even notice Mom, you've spent the past few years trying to kill me. Well, you half succeeded Mom, I have something to tell you. I'm dead. Ish. Mom, you know that thought experiment about Schrödinger and his cat? In this scenario, I'm the cat.

Read on Ao3

Masterpost/Burn cross-stitch

Mom,

Danny stared at the paper in front of him for a long, long moment.

Mom, there’s something I need to tell you 

Mom, I have to tell you something

He didn’t have to do this. 

Mom, you know the accident I had as a freshman?

He really, really had to do this.

Dear Mom,

Why do people even start letters with “dear” anyways?

Mine dearest mother

Mother,

Hey mom, I have a fun little secret to share.

You know how there’s a portal to hell in our basement? Well, hell on earth doesn’t tend to positively affect those around it

Clockwork said that this decision to tell her would make or break the timeline. Danny wasn’t sure why Clockwork would tell him that. Danny didn’t know which decision would break the timeline. He was too scared to ask. 

Mom, I died when I was fourteen and you didn’t notice

Madeline Fenton, you are cordially invited to

hey lol remember that time the town got pulled into another dimension? totally unrelated to what im abt to say lolz

The pen ink was bright green. Most everything in his lair was. Frostbite said it would change and grow as Danny does. 

Mom , did you know that ghosts aren’t unchanging blobs of ectoplasm? Dont ask how I know

Jazz was worried. She’s always worried, though, so that’s not any different. 

Dad, I was going to tell mom this but you're less likely to kill me about it

Mom, remember how you keep saying you want to rip Phantom molecule to molecule?

Mom, when I died I

Mom, great news! I didnt actually die. Dont ask. 

The paper was starting to wear thin under all the writing and erasing Danny was doing.

And then I faced god and backflipped into hell. I think that's how the quote went. Well, I wasn’t backflipping, and I’ve fought more than one “god”. The hell part is accurate though.

He could feel the crown calling to him. He didn’t particularly want to answer the call. Pandora said if he doesn’t don the crown then it would wear him whether he liked it or not. 

Hello Mom,

 I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to invite you to the coronation of

Danny looked up from the letter. Jupiter floated past him and crashed into Mercury. The Sun was in the corner and Pluto was missing. Again. 

As amazing as his lair’s solar system was, it was still bright green. An unfortunate quirk of being a (relatively) newly formed ghost.

Mom, I’m just going to rip the bandaid off. I’m a ghost. 

Mom, remember how you lost contact with your college friend because of a mysterious illness? Well, I speedran that illness. The illness is death, by the way. He’s not much of a friend. By the way.

This lair wouldn’t be his lair for much longer. The palace bends to the will of its king. Nobody needs their baby lair when they’re a king. He felt bad, abandoning it. 

Mom, I have a ectobiological discovery that’ll blow your mind. They call me a halfa. Half what? The important bit is I’m half alive. The other important bit is I’m half dead. 

Mom, fun fact. The ghost zone leadership operates by right of conquest. Remember what I was saying earlier about fighting gods?

Mom, fun fact. The ghost zone leadership operates by right of conquest. Another fun fact is that I've fought gods before, so really you don’t need to worry about this next bit

Hey, at least everything wouldn’t be neon green, then. 

Mom, God isn’t real. I think i’d’ve killed them by now. “Killed” in the loosest sense of the word. They probably would’ve killed me for real all the way, by now. 

The ceremony was a week from today. Today was the deadline to tell her. Clockwork didn’t look particularly surprised that Danny procrastinated until the last minute to start the letter. 

Mom, ghosts are way more intelligent than you give them

Mom, ghosts are way more intelligent than you give us credit for. They even have a governing system! Had. My bad. I’m working on fixing it. How? 

Mom, I failed my 10th grade Gov exam on the American Executive system. Sorry for not telling you before. You didn’t notice at the time. I’m telling you now because

Make or break the timeline, Danny. 

Mom, 

I’m writing this letter because I’ve been hiding something from you. I don’t know if you noticed. There's a lot of things you haven’t noticed. Remember the accident I had in the lab when I was fourteen? When I was hospitalized for a month? You and dad were so excited the portal finally turned on that you didn’t question how it happened. Or how I was doing. That’s fine, I didn’t really care, because Jazz was there for me. 

    I died, Mom. I died and I didn’t really die and I half-died. They call me a halfa. The other ghosts, that is. Half-dead, half-alive. I’m Phantom, mom. I fight the other ghosts to keep the town safe. They’re mostly cool now, though. Fighting each other for all eternity with no true winners or losers isn’t really appealing to them. Most of them. This isn’t the point.

    There’s one ghost I fought where winning or losing did matter. It mattered a lot, actually. His name was Phariah Dark, and he was the king of the Infinite Realms. Was, because I beat him. And now I’m the king of the Infinite Realms. I promise I didn’t do it on purpose. Become king, I mean. I did beat him on purpose. This also isn’t the point.

    My coronation is on Halloween. The ghosts think it's funny. And auspicious. And convenient. This is kind of short notice, but Clockwork didn’t really give me a ton of time to prepare to tell you. 

    I know we haven’t, you know, talked a lot recently. We’re not talking now. You’re in the lab back at home, and I’m in the Zone, writing a letter to you instead of talking to you face-to-face. But I still want to ask you to come. To the coronation. To my coronation. I’m being officially crowned the King of the Infinite Realms on Halloween, and I, Daniel Fenton, am inviting you, Madeline Fenton, to my coronation. There we go. I said it. 

I love,

Please dont kill,

Cordially,

Thanks,

Sincerely,

Danny Fenton

Make or break the timeline, Danny. 

Danny summoned the Crown of Fire into being. He held it in one hand, carefully, cautiously.

In the other hand he picked up the letter. 

It burned in a blaze of red-orange-yellow.

[feline-gal]

Danny blinks confusedly “How do you not know your own junior status?” he asks.

Johnny shrugs, wincing when the action irritates his new wounds “I formed in the 'Zone as a baby. Whatever life I had was cut real short.” he answers “Picked the name 'Johnny' for myself 'cuz I just kinda..” he gestures vaguely “vibed with it.”

“Oookay..” Danny drawls out, reaching out a blue glowing hand in a silent offer to ice over the injuries, which Johnny quietly accepts “So, you don't know why anyone would wanna kidnap you for being your dad's kid then?”

The question earns him a shake of the head from the unlucky ghost “Not a damn clue.”

“Great.” Danny states flatly “A mystery with no clues. Those are always fun. Nothing but a name and the knowledge that more assholes are gonna be coming after you at some point.” he finishes up his ice job and Kitty pokes her head into his view.

“Can I get some'a that?” she asks, pointing to her broken, roughly reset, and bleeding nose, the ectoplasmic blood looking more like glowing snot.

“Yeah, sure.” Danny obliges, setting his fingers against it for a moment.

“Thanks.” Kitty chirps once the Halfa removes his hand from the sturdy sheet of ice. She then looks over at her boyfriend and cocks her head at his contemplative staring off into the distance “Whatcha thinking, Johnny?” she prompts.

“If..” the biker ghost starts hesitantly “If this guy is popular enough that people are wanting to kidnap me for apparently being his kid, there might be something written about him.”

“You wanna see if Ghost Writer's got something in his library?” Kitty asks, earning a nod in response.

“Maybe he'll also have something about whatever that guy and his pets were.” Danny suggests “I'm not entirely convinced the Thermos not working on him was just 'cuz of the ecto-air, and everything about him just screamed 'demon'. Are demons a thing?”

The pair shrugs helplessly.

“Either way,” Kitty starts “creature identification is more Skulker's area of expertise.”

“Also mechanics.” Johnny points out, patting his beaten up bike like he's comforting an injured animal “Which I could use right now, so I say we go to him first.”

“You would.” Kitty rolls her eyes.

“Hey, if we know what they were, it might help us in looking up the old man.” Johnny reasons “Kill two birds with one stone.”

Kitty sounds out a sigh “Fine.”

“Sounds like a plan.” Danny concurs hesitantly “Guess you guys'll be going to do that, then?”

“You're not coming with?” Johnny asks, quirking a brow at the Halfa “Done helping out now that the fighting's done?”

“I'm still willing to make sure you don't get got.” Danny assures “I'd just rather not have to deal with the tin can trying to skin me, or discount Edgar Alan Poe writing me into another book if I can help it.”

“That's fair.” Johnny concedes “They'd probably wanna do that over helping us anyway.” he then slips his ring off his finger and hands it over to the half-ghost “Take my ring, I can call you if we run into any trouble.”

“Smart call.” Danny chirps, taking the jewelry piece “See 'ya around, then.”

With that, they head off in basically opposite directions, Danny back towards his home, and Johnny, Kitty & Shadow towards Skulker's Island, Kitty snatching the maybe-demon guy's dislodged tooth out of the air along the way.

. … . … . … .

Johnny lands his bike in front of the tooth gap that serves as Skulker's front doorway, wincing when it makes a noise that not even a ghost motorcycle should make.

He and Kitty hop off and step up to the door, through which they can hear the muffled sound of mechanical engineering.

The biker ghost knocks his fist against the wooden barrier hopefully loud enough to be heard over the noise, which does stop after a moment.

The door is shortly opened by the mech-suited hunter himself, who glowers down at the pair.

“Ember's not here.” he informs “Also, girl's night isn't for another week.”

“We came to talk with you, actually.” Kitty corrects, holding up the tooth for him to see “Some freaky-looking asshole and his pets attacked us and tried to drag Johnny into some other dimension.” she elaborates as Skulker takes the fang and begins examining it “We were hoping you could tell us what kinda things they were?”

“And also to maybe help fix up my bike.” Johnny adds, nodding at the battered vehicle. One of it's smaller headlights falls off and crashes to the ground, earning another wince from it's owner.

Skulker hums, looking from the tooth to the bike. He walks past the couple towards it to look over the claw marks gouged into it.

He gives a sniff and grunts “Brimstone.” he identifies, then turns to look at the pair “This was demons.”

“Shit.” Kitty curses, while Johnny grips his arms right under the ice patches “Was hoping those weren't an actual thing.”

“Yeah, well, they are.” the hunter states, crossing his arms “And just what did you do to piss one of them off?”

“Was born to the wrong guy.” Johnny answers, rubbing his thumbs against the ice “Apparently my.. dad - ancients, that's weird to say - is someone that a lot of demons are interested in 'staking a claim' on the son of.”

“Firstborn?” Skulker asks.

“Uh, yeah.” Johnny confirms, just barely remembering that little detail.

“Figures.” the mech-suited ghost huffs “Fuckers have a whole thing about those. Love getting people to sell them off or sacrifice 'em.”

Johnny's mouth presses into a thin line at that information.

“And, uh..” Kitty probes hesitantly “What do they usually do with those kids?”

“Nothing good.” Skulker replies grimly “Anything from ripping their souls to shreds and using the pieces as bits of currency..” Johnny shrinks in on himself, crossing his arms over his chest - his Core - protectively “To making them into mindlessly obedient slaves.”

The whole trio stares up at Skulker in horror, Kitty and Shadow each latched onto one of Johnny's arms.

Skulker sounds out a sigh “Come on.” he grunts, scooping the bike(and it's dislodged light) up into his arms “Let's see about getting this fixed up, and getting you two some demon protections.” with that, he marches past the three back into the stone skull that is his home and begins making his way towards his workshop.

They trail behind him, silently processing just what kind of deep shit they're in.

Kitty rests her head on Johnny's shoulder. Johnny leans his head against the top of hers. His Shadow nuzzles the other side of his head.

. … .

“There we go.” Skulker announces, shutting off the welding torch and stepping back to watch the glowing lines of the freshly-welded rune cool down “One decently demon-proofed motorcycle.”

“Great.” Johnny says, idly fiddling with the new piece of jewelry around his wrist.

“Sounds like we're about done here, then.” Kitty states, seeming ready to leave. She looks over at her boyfriend and notices him looking rather contemplative “..Unless there's something else you think we need.”

“Actually..” the unlucky ghost starts hesitantly, looking up at Skulker “Do you happen to have, like, some kinda blood relation tracker, or something?”

Kitty tilts her head incredulously “You wanna actually go looking for your dad?” she asks, earning a confirming nod and hum in response “The one who potentially sold-slash-sacrificed you to literal demons?!” she stresses.

“That's pretty unlikely,” Skulker informs “considering he ended up here instead of hell.”

“But not impossible.” Kitty points out.

“I guess?” the hunter ghost concedes uncertainly.

“Either way;” Johnny pipes up, drawing the pair's attention back to him “I'm going after him. If he did sell-slash-sacrifice me, I'll break his face. If he didn't, I'll see about wrangling some child support out of him.”

Kitty sounds out a dramatic sigh “Fine.” she yields, crossing her arms “Guess I'll come help.”

Johnny smiles appreciably “Thanks, love.” he acknowledges before shifting his gaze back to Skulker “So, you got anything?”

“I might have something I'm willing to part with..” the mech-suited ghost replies, theatrically examining his non-existent fingernails “For the right price.”

“Aw, c'mon.” Johnny whines “No more freebies?”

“My girlfriend and I may like you enough for me to lend a patch job and some annihilation preventative measures..” Skulker explains “But help with personal stuff is gonna cost you.”

The biker ghost sounds out an exasperated sigh “What do you want?” he asks.

“I noticed you traded your ring for some of the half-breed's ice.” Skulker hints with a quirked brow.

“Yeah, he's kind of agreed to play bodyguard for me right now.” Johnny informs “So I'd prefer him to keep his skin for the time being.”

“Fine, but then you're not getting the best tracker.” Skulker states “How about an eyeball?”

Johnny grimaces “Doubt he'd be willing to part with one of those.” he replies “I could probably knock out a tooth, though.”

Skulker grunts “It'll do.” he concedes.

“S'a deal, then.” Johnny declares, trotting over to and grabbing his bike “Be back with your payment later, mate.” with that he wheels the vehicle out of the skull-shaped dwelling, Kitty following close behind.

Once outside, they hop on and drive off through the ectoplasmic air, pointedly ignoring the sounds of several mechanical somethings spontaneously breaking apart.

“THIRTEEN!!!” Skulker's enraged voice shouts after them, much to the amusement of Johnny's Shadow.

. … . … . … .

The unlucky couple walks through the doors into the library manor and up to Ghost Writer's circular computer setup.

“Hey, G-Dubs.” Johnny greets at the same time Kitty gives a “Hi, 'Write.”

“Johnny. Kitty.” the librarian ghost addresses formally, not even glancing up from his screens.

“How goes the community service?” Johnny asks conversationally.

“It's.. going.” is the answer Ghost Writer settles on “I take it you're not here for your usual reading time?”

“Nope.” Kitty replies “We're looking for information on someone.”

“Bloke by the name of Johnathan Constantine.” the biker ghost elaborates “Has some sorta connection with demons.”

“Demons?!” Ghost Writer balks at the pair “Tell me you're not trying to get involved with those savages?!”

“We'd love to not be.” Kitty grumbles “But the bastards aren't giving us a choice; they've already tried kidnapping Johnny for apparently being this guy's son.”

Ghost Writer blinks in surprise and looks over at Johnny “You're a junior?” he asks.

“Shut up.” Johnny snips “Do you have any info or not?”

“Iii just might actually..” the librarian replies, beginning to type away at his keyboards “What book am I thinking of..?” he continues muttering to himself as he scans through the scrolling text on his screens, looking for something in particular “Ah! This one!” he eventually declares, tapping at a book title.

“Care to share with the class?” Johnny asks.

“There's a Constantine family line that's rather infamous in occult circles.” Ghost Writer informs.

A book flies in and hovers just over the keyboard between the unlucky couple and Ghost Writer, briefly allowing them to see that it's titled 'Notorious Magical Bloodlines' before the librarian opens it up. It's pages rapidly flip one after the other for a moment before a section of pages separates from the book and begin to float around in the air.

Several of the pages depict illustrations of various people who seem to be having a grand old time causing some kind of shenaniganery or another.

The chapter introductory page meanwhile is decorated with a tree behind the words 'Constantine - Lineage of the-'

“'Laughing Magicians'?” Johnny reads aloud incredulously “You tryna' tell me I come from a long line of bleedin' magic clowns or some shit?”

Ghost Writer snorts amusedly “Oh, wouldn't that be something?” he chuckles “But, no - they're called that because their favorite hobby seems to be rebuking and outsmarting various supernatural entities, from spirits to demons and even gods.”

Johnny glances back over at the assorted depictions of his maybe ancestors messing with men and monsters alike.

“Okay, maybe not the lamest inheritance.” he admits.

“They're also known to bring about misfortune wherever they go,” the librarian ghost adds on “and bad luck to whoever they interact with.”

“Ah.” the biker nods “I see why you'd suspect one of them to be our guy.”

“Which one specifically, though?” Kitty chimes in.

Ghost Writer picks out each page with the name 'Johnathan' on it, quickly notes the three dates marking their births, deaths, and Endings, and dismisses them, before coming to one page in particular.

“Seems like your best bet would be the currently living one.” he informs, shifting the illustration page for the pair to see.

Said page depicts a blonde man in a trench coat seemingly surrounded by flames that cast harsh shadows over much of his frontside, the only visible facial features being three crescent moon shapes representing his eyes and mouth in a cartoonishly jovial expression. In one hand, he holds a fanned out batch of playing cards, while the other is surrounded by swirling, burning, crackling colors, which the two can only assume to be a representation of magic.

Ghost Writer then 'ooh's at something on one of the more text-filled pages “And you'll be happy to hear that he also holds the title of 'Hellblazer'.” he reports.

“Went from a goofy title to a flippen' badass one.” Johnny remarks “So, any hints on where to find this guy?”

Ghost Writer drags out a hum as he scans through the pages “Says here he works as an occult detective..” he eventually answers “Aaand, that seems to be about it, I'm afraid. Which; not too surprising, considering all the powerful enemies he's made, he's likely had to take precautions against being easily found.”

“Bollocks.” Johnny curses disappointedly, setting his hands on his hips.

“It's better than nothing.” Kitty points out.

The biker ghost sounds out a sigh “I guess.” he concedes.

“I can keep looking, if you really want.” Ghost Writer offers.

“You could..” Johnny agrees hesitantly “Though, I'm not sure I'll be hanging around the area for much longer.”

The librarian ghost lets out another hum “Might I at least loan you some of the books on demons available?” he proposes, tapping at his keyboards again and bringing up a rather short list of said books “Granted, it's not a lot, but the more you know about what you're up against, the better.”

“Yeah, that'd probably be good.” Johnny replies.

Ghost Writer closes the Notorious Magical Bloodlines book, the floating pages slipping back into their places, then calls forth the handful of books from the list and goes through the process of signing them out to Johnny for the time being.

Once that's done with, he hands the ledgers over to the biker ghost, who tucks them all into the hammerspace of his jacket.

“Thanks, G-Dubs.” he chirps.

Ghost Writer nods “I'd bid you good luck, 13, but, well..” he trails off, glancing down at the unnaturally dark Shadow laying ever-so innocently on the ground.

“Appreciate the sentiment, bruv.” Johnny says, giving the librarian ghost a two-fingered salute as he turns and begins walking towards the door.

Kitty trails after him “Later, 'Write.” she bids with a wave, which Ghost Writer returns.

The library doors close behind the unlucky couple with a thunk and a click, followed by the sound of several bookshelves' worth of books crashing to the ground, which is then followed by Ghost Writer's voice loudly shouting “JOHNNY!!!”

The pair quickly jump onto Johnny's bike and zoom away, his Shadow roiling with something akin to laughter.

. … . … . … .

“Let me see if I've got this right;” Jazz starts incredulously, pointing at the male half of the unlucky couple “You want to take my little brother on an indeterminately long road trip to protect you from actual demons while you track down your dad?”

“That is pretty much what I just said, yes.” Johnny confirms.

“Yeah, that's kind of a tall order, dude.” Danny says, scratching at the side of his head “Even without the whole 'actual demons' thing; I can't exactly just up and leave town with a couple of ghosts. My parents would freak!”

“Well, I still need your help fighting off the bloody things.” Johnny argues, gesturing with an anti-demon charm decorated arm “The stuff mr. 'likes a challenging hunt' gave us can only do so much.”

Danny sighs and rubs at the bridge of his nose “Alright, I.. I'm gonna need some time to figure out a game plan.” he grumbles “In the meantime, and also after that time, for however long you two are gonna be hanging around me; you'd better not cause any trouble.”

“Fiiine.” the pair grouse out simultaneously.

“We won't go stirring up shit.” Kitty assures.

Jazz quirks a brow “I'm sensing a 'but'.” she says.

“Yeahhh,” Johnny drawls out, scratching at the back of his head sheepishly “I can't exactly promise nothing bad won't happen because of me, what with my whole thing being bad luck.”

As if to illustrate his point, a shelf cracks under the weight of its load, one side dropping down and sending the several objects atop it falling to the floor with a loud series of crashes.

The heap of freshly broken devices sparks and splutters and beeps. A ranged weapon of some sort fires off a shot straight at Danny, who barely has enough time to open his mouth for a startled scream before the projectile impacts his face, sending him crashing to the ground painfully.

“Danny!” Jazz exclaims, rushing to his aid.

The Halfa lets out a pained whine and curse.

“Sorry.” Johnny apologizes, his sympathetic gaze briefly flicking over to the bloody tooth on the floor nearby.

Danny groans as he slowly sits up with Jazz's help, rubbing at his sore face “I'm already regretting this.” he mutters.

. … . … . … .

“Worthless wretch.”

The demon whimpers as he's dragged across the ground by his wrists.

“Can't even catch one brat.”

He's roughly propped up against a block of stone that serves as a table.

“No matter..”

A crystal ball stand is set onto the table.

“He can't hide forever.”

The demon's wrists are grabbed again and the ectoplasmic blood is scraped off his fingers into the stand's bowl.

“He's only delayed the inevitable.”

The crystal ball is set into it's bloodied place and given a few taps, causing colorful smoke to form and begin swirling about within.

It's not the best of tracking spells, but it'll serve the bounty hunters well enough.

The arch demon sets his hands atop the stone table on either side of the crystal ball and stares down at it.

“Let the hunt begin.”

Vomit Pile #2

Fandom: Avengers (Ironman & Captain America), Danny Phantom

Danny couldn’t slip the grin from his face as he settled his seat on Cujo’s oversized form. The larger dog was munching away happily at a giant bone the halfa had pulled in through a portal. Danny, on the other hand, was excited to tear into the three burgers resting in a fast food bag.

It’s been almost four days since his last actual meal, and as much as being half dead made it easier to go without food, he still needed to eat at times. Being on the run like he was, quietly waiting for some sign his mother wasn’t going to come after him with another gun, was slowly taking a toll on his human side. 

His injuries weren’t healing as fast as they used to, even if his ghost side seemed to be ready for anything. With a sigh, the young halfa patted Cujo’s green fur before digging in.Shifting the thermos below his shoes for a reminder of its presence. Life wasn’t the easiest it’s ever been, and new surprises followed him around every corner, but oddly enough he found more relaxing and calming moments.

Blue eyes scanned the surrounding trees, keeping an eye out for any sign of life- or afterlife- as he quickly choked down two of the burgers. The crumpled wrappers laid on the soft woodland floor near his now empty cup of soda. He’d only just opened his last burger when the sound of a figure descending caught his attention. 

Danny only tensed ever-so-slightly, feeling a growl vibrate below him. His eyes instantly landed on a familiar red and gold suit of armor, pulses of blue energy expelling for the hands and feets until it came to a solid landing. 

“This isn’t something you see very often.” The voice spoke as gears whirled, the face plate sliding up to reveal none other than Tony Stark himself. Danny groaned, softly patting Cujo in reassurance, only stopping the motion when the dog settled to ignore the intruder and continue to munch on his own treat. 

“Look as much as I’m a big fan, I really could do without this right now.” Danny replied, taking a bite out of his burger. He watched one of the billionaire’s eyebrows quirk up in amusement. 

“Kid, you’re sitting on a giant green dog that I'm pretty sure is glowing.” Tony retorted, metal arms crossing over the glowing emblem. “There’s no other time to handle this.”

“Cujo’s harmless eighty-five percent of the time.” Danny shrugged, smirking when Cujo gave a small huff. “The other fifteen is when he's protecting.” 

“Cujo? Really?” Tony asked, motioning towards the red-eyes ghost. “Couldn’t be more on the nose, could you?”

“Hey, he came with his own name.” Danny replied through another mouthful, quickly crumpling up the last wrapper and dropping it with the rest. “Please tell me the rest of the dress-up squad isn’t with you?” The question was quickly answered when another hero broke through the surrounding bush. Danny’s gaze instantly fell on a red, white, and blue cladded Steve Rogers. 

“Welcome to the show, Star-Spangled.” Tony smirked, glancing towards the shock-stricken man. “Looks like I found Cujo, and his human pet.”

“Who said I’m human?” Danny  countered, letting his eyes flashing green for a split-second. Maybe taunting the world’s mightiest heroes was a bad idea, but it just seemed a little too easy of an opportunity to pass. Then both heroes instantly tensed, ready for a fight, Danny couldn’t help but laugh. “Wow, I don’t think I look that threatening.” Danny motioning one hand towards his appearance. He knew he was scrawny, and he knew he was short, pretty much everyone underestimated him. 

It didn’t help that the ripped black jeans and dirt-stained red hoodie were much too large for his size. He tilted the thermos under his shoes ever-so-slightly, letting it softly drop to the ground before hopping off of Cujo. 

He didn’t pay the two men any attention as he gathered his trash and belongings, dropping them all haphazardly into his over-used black school bag, clipping the thermos to his waistband.

“What are you?” The super soldier was the first to speak, Danny turned his gaze on him, shifting to the shield that was placed onto his back. 

“Why do you care?” Danny asked, meeting blue eyes. “It’s not like I’m bothering anyone.”

“For one, we can’t exactly have a teen running around the city with a giant demon dog.” Tony quipped, motioning towards Cujo as the ghost just finished off his bone. Danny laughed, shaking his head slightly. 

“Considering you just found me, I say we know how to hide pretty well.” Danny turned, slinging the bag over his shoulder and snapped his fingers. “Ŝrumpi.” Cujo jumped up, slowly shrinking down to the size of a puppy.

“Holy shit.” Danny heard from behind him, but he was focused on getting ready to leave. He shifted the bag, the largest pocket open and empty, leaning it towards his friend. 

“Kaŝi.” Cujo  gave a small, happy bark before hopping into the bag, letting Danny zip it with only the smallest opening on top. “See, nothing odd here.” Danny turned back to the men, smirking at the surprised look they brandished. 

“Kid, everything about you is odd.” Tony shook his head, eyes raking over the teen. Danny bit back a groan, he knows he looks like a mess, knows he looks like a homeless teen… Which he is, but that’s besides the point. 

He didn’t need extra attention right now, what he needed was to stay as out of the spotlight as possible. Maddie could be anywhere right now, and who knows if she got help from any other hunters she knows. God forbid she actually manipulated his dad into helping. 

“Look, I get you have this duty to keep the world safe, but I’m the least of your problems.” Danny slipped the other strap over his shoulder, the familiar weight of Cujo easing his anxiety just a little. “I don’t have the time, patience, or ability right now to deal with this.”

“Our duty is to also help the people of this world.” Steve spoke up, taking a small hesitant step towards the teen. Danny tensed, ready to pull his core forward if need be. He tried not to go full ghost as much as possible, or use any large abilities because he knew it could be tracked. “And from where I’m standing, it looks like you need it.” 

Danny barked a laugh, he couldn’t help it. Sure he liked the heroes, but he didn’t need help. Not from them, there wasn’t much they could do. So leave it to them to think he was able to be saved. He was damned the day he walked into that portal. 

“Not everyone needs help.” Danny shot back, he wasn’t sure why he was bothering entertaining them. Maybe because he hasn’t had an actual conversation with someone that wasn’t hate filled in so long. “I, for one, would rather-”

Danny’s words died in his throat when a familiar beeping came from his watch. A curse left him as he slid his sleeve up, glancing down at the face of the watch. Sixteen. Sixteen fucking feet away. He didn’t have time to really run. 

“What is that?” Danny glanced up, meeting the billionaire’s eyes. 

“Trouble.” Danny grumbled, quickly clicking the sound off. His eyes quickly surveyed the area before returning to the number. Twelve. Fuck. “Look I’ll answer all your questions, I’ll do whatever you want, but when she shows up, tell her you haven’t seen me.”

“Wait-”

“Please.” Danny swallowed, meeting their gaze. Steve was the first one to nod, pulling a sigh of relief from the teen. He pulled a small pocket knife from his pocket, ignoring the words behind him as he cut a small wound into the palm of his hand, he racked it over a few rocks nearby before turning towards them.

“I’m not going anywhere, you just won’t be able to see me.” Danny spoke, letting invisibility take over. Nine. He really hopes his blood will do the trick here. 

“Hey, wait!” Tony’s eyes scanned quickly over the area he was just at. Danny walked over to stand behind Tony, if anything he hoped the reading coming off the suit would throw off the tracker. 

“I’m still here.” Danny spoke from behind him. “Act natural, she’ll be here soon.” Five.

“Are we really?” Tony asked, motioning towards the clearing. 

“We’re here to help.” Steve reminded him, dropping the shield from his back. Danny shook his head even if the two men couldn’t see it, there wouldn’t need to be a fight if this worked. 

“Seriously Steve-” Tony stopped the moment a figure burst through the trees and bushes before them. A somewhat short woman, although not as short as the teen, stood before them. What was clearly a tracker in one hand, and a small sci-fi-esque pistol in the other. 

“Did you see him here? He looks like a teen boy.” Her words were quick and steady, eyes glancing from the tracker to the area around them.

“Who are you?” Tony asked, arms tensed and ready at his side. Danny on the other hand was trying to control the hammering in his chest. He hasn’t been this close to her in so long, the last times he’s seen her, she tried to capture him or end his life. He held his breath, trying to push down the growing fear inside.

“I’m a scientist and a hunter, there is a dangerous creature on the run.” Her posture was perfect, her words holding little place to argue. “He can manipulate and play on your emotions. I ask again, have you seen him?”

“I’m sorry ma’am.” Steve spoke before Tony could, eyes taking in the woman. He wasn’t sure who she was, or if what she said is true, but he does know the fear in that teen’s eyes was real. “We came out to investigate a weird energy reading, but nothing was found.”

“That can’t be right.” She spoke, glancing back down to her tracker, placing the pistol onto a hip holster. “He should be here… Maybe the readings from the suit…” Tony glanced between Steve and the woman, both Avengers were unsure how to get her to leave. Then he remembered the blood.

“The only thing we found was that.” Tony spoke, pointing towards the slightly red rocks. The woman’s head peaked up quickly, steps determined as she stepped towards it. The tracker was held before it, after a beat a soft beep sounded.

“Of course, this must be it… It’s still fresh.” She spoke more to herself than the other two. “It must have just left here, which means I’m on the right track.”

The smile that slid onto her face even made Steve uncomfortable, there was a twisted plan hidden behind it. The super soldier stopped himself from reacting when a cold hand gripped his forearm in a hold, in the corner of his eyes couldn’t see anyone, but he knew who it was. 

Danny couldn’t help it, ever since what happened, ever since he saw who his mother really was… It felt like he was a five year old boy again, and she was the biggest thing in the room. The strongest urge to flee screamed throughout him, but right now the two heroes were his only bet in getting out alive. 

“Thank you.” She turned to them, placing the tracker into her waist belt. “No need to worry about him, I’ll have him captured in no time.” 

Tony wanted to speak, ask her who she worked for, who she was, but his ears picked up a soft sound from behind him. The softest whine of a scared animal, instead he bit his tongue, watching the woman leave the clearing. 

“Friday, tell us when she’s out of range.” Tony orders, waiting until Friday deems it safe before turning to Steve, and the empty space between them. “What the hell was that about?”

Danny exhaled, releasing his grip on Steve’s arm and flickered back into view. He swallowed, appreciating the constant pulse of ectoplasm against his back. After a moment of collecting himself, he looked up and was met with two concerned eyes.

“That was… That’s my…” Danny swallowed against the lump in his throat, he hasn’t told anyone. Not even his best friends or his sister. 

“How about we get back to the tower, then talk?”

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

“Wait, you’re telling me that was your mom?” The words left Tony the moment Danny finally told them who that was in the clearing. 

“And she’s trying to… kill you?” Steve pushed out, tone trying to be steady but Danny picked up the underlying thrum of emotions. 

“More like to turn me into a lab rat.” Danny muttered, picking slightly at the table before him. Cujo whined softly in his lap, pushing his head under the teen’s chin. “It’s alright boy, she’s gone, vi estas sekura.” Danny reassured, running a hand along vibrant fur.

“Just because you're different?” Tony growled, glancing between Steve and Danny. “You’re shitting me right?”

“I wish.” Danny let out a harsh laugh, shaking his head. “I turned into the one thing she hated, it doesn’t matter anymore, not to her.”

“Do you have someplace safe to go?” Steve asked, voice soft and hesitant. “Anyone you can go to until things blow over.”

“If they blow over, but no. The only people I have are back in town and it’s way too much of a risk for them to try and hide me.” Danny exhaled, looking up at the two heroes. “You don’t have to worry about me, I appreciate what you did back there, but I’ll be fine.”

“Really kid, what happens the next time she shows up?”

A fic on a little quirk of halfa biology

[ectokelpeigh]

Danny Phantom x Dæmons

I don't have the time to write a proper fic with all this but the world always needs more dæmon headcanons so I'm dumping mine here.

I'll lay out my hc's for halfas here and put character profiles and misc. world-building under the cut.

Halfa Dæmons:

A Halfa still has a dæmon in ghost form. This helps to ease one's fears about being truly dead, but there are a lot of unsettling (hah!) quirks.

They're not the most... stable. I don't mean they're destabilized in the usual sense, more like they're all staticky to the human eye. Their silhouettes blur around the edges, and the way their eyes glow has a constant lens flare effect that doesn't make it any easier to make out the details.

This is actually super helpful for maintaining a secret identity. When a halfa goes ghost, their dæmon doesn't shapeshift any more than their person. You get some inverted colors and misc. ghostly features, but they don't become a whole new animal.

In their living form, a halfa is as connected to their dæmon as any other person.

Like a witch's dæmon in HDM, a halfa and their dæmon aren’t bound to any radius of physical proximity. Note (and HDM spoiler): Will and Lyra could do also this after entering the world of the dead, so this just makes sense if you look at the act of becoming a halfa as Intercision Lite™.

HDM canon is a bit spotty re: empathy, telepathy, and proprioception in human-dæmon pairs. I always hc'd both are more or less universal. But when a halfa goes ghost, they lose those connections to their dæmon. The dæmon is essentially their own entity at this point.

That loss of connection is incredibly disorienting and frightening. So even though they can leave each other's vicinity, it's 'in case of emergency' only because they have no way of knowing each other's location and well-being. In fact if this ever becomes a fic, Danny will find this out by accident and it’ll be Big Drama

Like seriously it would be a huge tactical advantage to be able to send your dæmon ahead to scout or spy or attack from another position but it's just TOO SPOOPY.

I'm not borrowing a whole lot from HDM but I do love Dust. In a few ways Dust:dæmons::ectoplasm:ghosts (at least ectoplasm in phanon) so I am COMBINING them and it looks like GLITTER GLUE and no one can stop me. Anyway a halfa's dæmon's eyes look like snowglobes with said glitter glue (no distinguishable sclera/iris/pupil).

If injured in their ghostly form, the halfa person will bleed this ectoDust/Dustplasm(?? GLITTER GLUE!!!!)

Gen. HCs:

Full ghosts do not have dæmons. Dæmon goes 'poof' when their person dies. Them's the rules. So sad. Alexa, play Despacito.

Something something "a ghost forms when the Dust that made up a person's dæmon imprints on ectoplasm" something

Asking a ghost about their dæmon is as big a no-no as any other aspect of their life, if not moreso. I'm undecided if the GZ is analogous to HDM's land of the dead in that anyone who enters the GZ loses the physical proximity rule. It would be a good excuse for Danny if he gets caught without her as Fenton (but he doesn’t know that because no one else has been to the Zone? Unless Vlad’s dæmon isn’t tethered either).

The GIW give me Gobblers vibes. Do with this what you will.

Dæmons: Cast

DANNY

Name: Synova (nickname is Nova ayyyyyy)

- Settled as a capuchin (astronaut vibes) when Danny was around 11 years old.

- After the accident she takes a new animal form, and boy if that doesn't add to the “I’m a freak” angst. Re-settling is unheard of. He shrugs it off like “guess she wasn’t actually settled the first time!” It’s a lame excuse because dæmons know when they’re done changing.

Here's my logic for Danny's dæmon changing: 1. It is true that dæmons forms are a representation of one's fundamental values and are faithful representations of their personality. Danny's got a lot of changes coming, and this has got to make him wonder if he's changed.

2. Personality is not the only determining factor for someone's dæmon form. Certain forms are prominent in different cultures, locales, etc. What doesn't get a lot of attention is how utility factors in. Here's a snippet from the HDM wiki:

There's a little bit of a chicken-egg problem of "does someone's circumstances shape their dæmon, or does their dæmon shape their lifestyle?" (because I'm sure there's a ton of dæmon discrimination in the candidate selection process in any given company/discipline. Dæmons settle when their people are so young!! Drastic career changes must be a nightmare!!)

...This means Danny's dæmon changing form not only calls his internal state into question, but it doubles as an omen of a drastic change in circumstances.

- After the accident she's a vulture:

Vultures are spooky misunderstood badass dorks. I could probably leave it at that but NOPE

Scavengers' digestive/immune systems of steel : Danny deals with a ton of trauma of all kinds and always gets back up

Scavengers in general : dealing with dead things in a much greater capacity than most

Himalayan vulture specifically because Himalayas…,,,,, ice… ice core…. Nice

Jk it's not just the ice thing. Himalayan vulture are non-migratory and build nests as high as 4,245 m (13,927 ft) : Danny has no choice in Amity Park's but it's appropriately ridiculous

Wingspan between 8 and 10 ft : Danny's got this larger-than-life side of his personality, and his it doesn't take him too long to become confident and even a little show-boaty as Phantom. But that big a bird with Danny Fenton makes him even more of a self-conscious mess.

-Dæmons rarely settle in a form they didn't already use frequently, so just the fact that Synova never took this form before is rather distressing. It also means he's not very familiar with the symbolism of vultures/what it says about him.

He asks Jazz about because she's smart and surely this is something psychologists are well-versed in but she goes on a rant about how studies show symbolic forensic dæmonology is flawed at best in practice and he shouldn't let this bias his sense of self

-In ghost form her colors are inverted so she’s mostly black. AND any black parts are a void-like window to space like Nocturne because I’m Cool and Fun and Original, you know

Synova being so big gets Danny teased because teenagers are terrible: Dash: “How did Fentoenail end up with something so cool, huh? Are you so desperate you let your freak parents experiment on your dæmon?”

- For a while the civilians assume Phantom doesn't have a dæmon. Why would they? Ghosts don’t have dæmons. But when it becomes obvious that Phantom has a little partner in crime, most people decide it's a similar situation to Youngblood & his 'assistant' or Spectra and Bertrand. Only those who pay enough attention to Phantom to notice how human-like he is in general notice how dæmon-like his little buddy is. This includes Jack and Maddie, who swear up and down that Phantom manifested a faux dæmon to trick everyone into sympathizing with him, lulling them into a false sense of familiarity.

- Synova gets a superhero name too!

Someone asks Synova her name while she's in ghost form at the same time Danny’s ghost sense goes off and he spots “Spectra!” in the distance Person: 'Spectra?' You have the same name as that ghost?? Synova: No, it’s… Specter. Specter Danny later: Really? You heard “Spectra”, changed two letters, and called it a day? Synova: ‘Fenton’. ‘Phantom’. Danny: What’s your point? Synova: [attacks the cheeky idiot]

She has the basic ghost powers (flight, intangibility, invisibility) and some bonus. I... haven't thought of them yet oops i'm tired

SAM - Hyena

Name: Mohrsom

Striped, Brown, or Spotted??

Striped: hyenas are very recognizable as hyenadae but less ~mainstream~ than the spotted.The unrivaled, uh… big dick energy of the species’ females is fitting. They’re extremely solitary though and Sam is selective but she’s TIGHT with her chosen friends

Brown: Hyena but make it even more goth-looking! Independent/self-reliant, compassionate, reserved, selective and cliquish, still value alone time. Not easily stressed, stubborn. But they’re not very confrontational like Sam

Spotted: ~mainstream~ for a hyena, but that’s not saying much. They live in very large packs but they’re still individualistic, not pushovers by any means.

She first started altering her diet before he settled, so her dæmon stopped shifting to hunters. Strictly herbivores and scavengers. She likes having a scavenger because it’s nature’s recycling crew

TUCKER - Silver-Haired Bat

- Name: Danunsi

- This cute little fuzzball hangs off his clothes (mostly his beret) and girls seems to swoon over her but still roll their eyes at Tucker’s pickup lines

- She talks a lot less than Tucker and generally pipes up just to apologize on his behalf

- Personality in a nutshell: [Running gag] Danunsi: “Tucker no” Tucker: “Tucker YES”

- Tucker gets teased for needing glasses and having a bat dæmon but you know what he loves her

- If I do a No One Knows AU it’s gonna get weird when Danny meets Tucker and Sam because Danunsi’s nickname is already Danny

JAZZ - New Caledonian Crow

Name: Rexmoor

- Corvids are SMART and incredibly popular in psychology research

- Dissimilar enough to common crows with their cute little beaks that you could maybe possibly pass it for a bird from another family (heh), but she still has this spooky black bird. She wants to be proud of it, what a corvid says about her intellect and emotional intelligence. But it’s a symbol reminiscent of the spooky shit that has so destabilized her family. The fact that he settled that way reflects how she doesn’t feel truly free of all the superstition.

JACK - Badger

Name: Suntrilis

European vs american ambiguous on purpose

Coyotes (Maddie!) and badgers work together. Jack’s smart and all but he really is a brute. He’s the “smash” to Maddie’s “grab” when they hunt.

Honey badger don’t give a fuck about the outside world, just does his thing.

Funny because Vlad calls Danny “badger” even though he hates Jack.

I'll update or reblog this another time with more characters and such another time, I think I just need to yeet this into the void for now.

Please feel free to reply/reblog/message with your own HCs/suggestions!

MADDIE - Coyote

Name: Heskel

Maddie isn’t much of a trickster but she’s smart, she’s underestimated, and she’s a pack personality. And they often cooperate with badgers to hunt!
