DCxDP idea: To Be Human Again
Danny had not been human for a long time. His home dimension had long since fallen. He lost his friends and family to old age, watched their descendants rise and fall in the same way, and witnessed his Earth come to an end.
When the cosmos erupted and took the solar system he knew and loved, Danny was oddly at peace with the end. He was no longer a Halfa but a full Spirit of the Stars. Solar flares ran through his veins rather than blood, stardust decorated his skin in gently kissed freckles, and his eyes held the swirling clouds of the cosmos.
Danny had not become a ghost. He had transformed into an Ancient, commanding the prophecies, fates, and endless opportunities that all living beings could experience in their lifetimes.
He flouted through his domain, witnessing battles between Lords of Choas and Order. Planets gain life and break apart. Endless time stretching from the graveities he weaves to flouting stones.
As time passes, his name begins to fade into legends and myths, and even the ghosts that once battled with him forget their time together. They, too, can age at a much slower rate, but change comes for them. He is present for Box Lunch's birth, but when he leaves to create light in the darkness, he misses her growing up. When he returns, Box Lunch does not know him, trembling in place as she bows low like her parents.
He stares at her, wondering what he found wrong with her, until he realizes she is a young adult. Were it not for his once evil timeline, he wouldn't have known her child form. He had missed it.
His gaze falls onto the much older pair of ghosts who call him by his new title. Neither Box Ghost nor Lunch Lady show any signs of remembering his name. They greet him with his title, and act as if though that is his identifier.
How many eons had it been since he last heard someone call him Phantom? Or even Danny?
"Lord Star Weaver?" Box Lunch stammers when the giant being only continues to stare. "Is something the matter?"
"Hmm," he considers her question, wondering if his realizations upset him. It's not that he was lonely or that he missed the sound of his name. But he has spent eons in a haze focusing on his work, and now it's almost as if he was waking from a dream.
Dreams....what did those feel like again?
"Tell me, Box Lunch, are there any portals to any living Earths?" His voice booms over the Realms, echoing as if they were a part of him. Maybe they were.
Danny had not sat on his throne since his elder sister breathed her last, but he still remembered the way the Infinite Realms changed on his whims. It's where he learned to weave stars. The young woman's ghost looked startled before she gestured vaguely to a path behind her.
"Yes, sir. I regularly use the anchored portal to visit the local Earth. It's where my father was born before his death."
Danny looks down at Box Ghost before leaning toward Box Lunch's height. She is no bigger than his pupils, and she seems frozen in terror as his eyes glow with hunger. "Show me," he says.
Her parents make strangling noises, but they wouldn't dare speak against the King and Ancient of creation. They send their daughter worried tight smiles but encourage her to lead the Star Waver to the portal.
She flights for a solid hour, his large form sending every ghost into hiding as he passes. Despite not having a living heart, he knows that it beats a mile a minute within her chest as her glow flickers in uncertainty.
They arrive at the portal, a swirling green pool resting in the open mouth of a mechanical jester. Danny thinks it looks like the building of an amusement park. He remember going to one once with Sam. This had been the Funhouse, filled to the brim with trick mirrors.
The memory causes him to smile.
Lunch Box nervously moves her hands one after another, bowing at the waist and stepping to the side so Danny can consider the portal. He is much larger than the building and doubts his foot would fit inside the portal.
He should change his form.
"Here it is, Lord Star Weaver, the portal to the human-AGHHHH!" Box Lunch's words fade into a scream as two bright rings of light form around the Ancient. Fearing she had offended the being and he was planning on retaliating, she flings herself to the ground before the portal, begging for her existence.
"I will do anything!" She cries, head pressing against the glowing green stone underneath her. "Mercy, please, Lord Star Weaver."
"Anything? Then you shall be my guide in the new Earth, " a human voice says. Shocked, she raises her head only to see that the Ancient has vanished and that a human teenager with soft fluffy hair, big baby blue eyes, and the most innocent demeanor is staring back at her.
Were it not for the soul she could feel carefully folded up inside him, she would have thought him a human who stumbled through the portal.
"My....Lord?" she dares to ask, and she's rewarded with a soft smile. Honestly, the human body the Star Weaver has chosen is an odd one. It looks like a strong gust of wind could knock him over.
"Yes. Where does this portal lead?"
"Gotham," She shutters out, "The city within the United States of Earth. This portal is in te middle of a human outlaw named Joker, but humans there aren't able to see us very well so he never bothers me."
"Gotham" Danny rolls the name on his human tongue, tasting it as the sound vibrates through his bones and his heart. It's been so long since he last felt this alive, and if that was what the name could do, who knows what the city could bring him. "What a wonderful place to get lost in, don't you agree, big sister?"
"Um...I beg your pardon?" Lunch Box blinks, but he shifts her fate with a snap of his fingers. Since she had never been alive, having been a Realms born, Danny has control of her guiding star. He moved it for one that belonged to a version of herself born in the human world.
Lunch Box's body shifts into flesh and blood. Her draw drops as she stares at her human hands. Danny grins. "I'm Danny Fenotn, moving to Gotham with my older sister. Adopted, of course. Who might you be?"
She looks at him with horror and heartbreak, but what leaves her mouth is only three words: "I'm Della Fenton."
"Della." He repeats the name, nodding his head and smiling. "It's lovely."
"It was my mother's Earth name before her death, " she says in a daze, and Danny smiles, striding into the portal without a second glance.
"Come on, Della, I want to see our new home."
He steps into the portal, while she can only look out over the Realms that no longer whisper and speak to her. How could it? She was no longer a ghost. She silently apologizes to her parents, who would likely be waiting at their haunt for her, and turns away from the only home she's ever known.
She can not afford to anger the Star Weaver. If he can breathe life into her with a mere snap of her fingers, she fears what he can do to take it away.
On the other side of the portal Della finds that her King has been caught by humans, who have tied him up to a chair and a snickering clown waved a knife in his face.
His gentle smile did not leave his face even as the Joker sliced two thin lines on his cheek.
"Della" Danny calls never taking his eyes off the clown. "Is this the outlaw you spoke of?"
Human goons swarm her. She is shocked to find that they can touch her as she is thrown on the ground, only to remember she is now human. The dull ache in her chin is her new reality.
"Yes. That's the Joker," She says after getting her wits about her. One of the goons presses the heel of his foot on top of her head, slamming her back to the ground and breaking her nose. A scatter of snickers echoes through the room as Joker loudly cackles.
"That's right, little boy. I'm the Joker, and this is my Fun House. What were you two doing sneaking about here uninvited?"
There are teeth in the Star Weaver's answer, and she shivers in place, wondering how she will survive him. "Oh, I just felt like star gazing. Say, did you know your guiding star is becoming dim?"

One of my new favourite Hazbin Hotel fic AUs is this weird crossover niche of "Alastor is/was a character from another fandom, before he snapped and became who he is today" AUs, eg. "Harry Potter becomes Alastor", and one random "Tim Drake becomes Alastor" fic I found on AO3. Because I find it interesting to try and figure out how to meld the other character's backstory, powers or personality with his.
And that inevitably led my traitorous brain to the idea of "Danny Fenton becomes Alastor" (because now DP and DC are forever associated in my lizard brain, curse you Phandom!).
Which is just...the weirdest thing ever, because they're just so different—like, how the fuck do you set up Danny to become Alastor, of all people?! It feels like the most unfitting character to do this with...
And that's exactly what my brain has decided to see it as a challenge.
Added caveat: this is an AU!Danny specifically from a generic angsty dissection fic scenario, where he's been traumatised by his parents and fucked over by the world (and he has no healthy way to cope)—then he's sent back in time, lost and completely alone
-Danny falls through a natural portal to 1900's Louisiana with no way back (something something, Clockwork's-out-of-the-picture, something something)
-Alastor being a mama's boy? Danny gets taken in by a loving mother figure after getting lost in time—a kind woman familiar with the supernatural who accepts his ghost half right off the bat. He sees her as his family. After a year or so, though, she dies. He spirals again. He dyes his hair brown and starts wearing glasses when he runs away to New Orleans to change himself and cover his tracks.
-Alastor feels like an interesting name for Danny to choose because it means "the avenger", and can also mean "defender of the people" (a meaning more apparent in the Scottish version "Alasdair/Alastair"), but could also have a negative connotation of "persecutor"; the character symbolism writes itself
-the normally tech-savvy Danny who finds old-timey stuff boring would be forced to find something to entertain himself in the 1900's. So he gravitates towards radio, with it being the closest thing he's got to modern tech. Give him several years or so to grow attached to it and enjoy the idea of working in it. He goes from fantasising of radio comms at NASA to a public radio host, playing with all the fancy knobs and dials.
-his ghost half is the reason Alastor's powers/magic in Hell is green
(also I heard someone say the typical human!Alastor design has the "Timmy Turner hairstyle", which I can't unsee now. And it's Danny's hairstyle too. Because we know how well Butch Hartman and originality mix. Male protagonist? There's only one hairstyle for that!)
-he becomes a serial killer because he's snapped over the years after all the shit that's happened to him; he's developed a bitter, cynical and self-aggrandised ego and thirst for justice and revenge, and he's all alone with no one to keep him out of the dark echo chamber leading to villainy
-a serial killer with ghost powers plays cat-and-mouse with cops, and never leaves a trace; before he starts killing, he's already made deals with and intimidated the ghosts that come to New Orleans through other natural portals (it's a portal hotspot) under a new ghostly persona. He has both sides of the city fearing or respecting his power. Every ghost who goes to New Orleans knows whose territory it is. They just never link the ghost and human together. He becomes like an even worse Plasmius. It sets him up for Overlord stuff in Hell from the getgo
-the cannibalism was a...happy accident. On a whim, he decided one guy's crime was too insufferable to die without torment, so he took the guy back and...tortured him the way his ol' folks knew best. He starts cutting people open as if trying to relive what his parents did to him, but from the other end—as the person with all the power. Taste-testing what he cut up came incidentally, but he decided he didn't mind it and made it a routine.
I can imagine a villain!Danny with more narcissistic tendencies, but my main trouble is where the overblown confidence and charming/manipulative skills come from. After all, Danny's pretty socially awkward. How exactly does he grow into that?

[DANIEL MENDOZA. 30. CIS MALE. HE/HIM] is here! They’ve lived in Asbury Park for [30 YEARS] and are originally from [ASBURY PARK, NEW JERSEY]. They are a [RECORD STORE OWNER/MANAGER AT GROOVY GRAVEYARD] and in their downtime love [WRITING SONGS FOR HIS D&D GROUP] and [FALLING ASLEEP TO PODCASTS]. They look a lot like [SEAN TEALE] and live in [SUNCREST]. The song that makes people think of them the most is [UNDER PRESSURE BY QUEEN].
FOLKS!! [clap] it is time for me to round out my promise and present idiot #2. strap in.
meet DANNY.
going to do this in bullet points because his story is a lot less linear than kacey's and also ??? i feel like it ??? ok
people know him as either daniel or danny, both is fine, he'll even respond to dan or "hey you guy" because honestly he Hates Confrontation
oldest child, was always used to bearing the brunt of responsibility. it was kind of like his siblings could do no wrong but any minor mistake he made was scrutinized
his family runs a restaurant and fully expected him to take it over. him and his siblings all worked there since they were teens, and when he saw the opportunity to break out in the form of buying his dream shop (groovy graveyard) he took it, along with his former best friend. they bought it together after the old owner with no next of kin passed on
his dad was very upset by this and no longer speaks to him, his mom tries to still keep in touch quietly without his dad knowing
his siblings, despite danny being the scapegoat, he loves very much and would do anything for them. in my head he's very close with his little sister. he used to be close to his younger brother but they've fallen out of touch a bit. his brother is the one that ended up taking the restaurant over and has taken on the role of "stepping up" so there's probably a bit of tension over that
danny generally assumes people have good intentions. this gets him into hot water more often than not, especially in the case of his business. probably the happiest moment of his life was acquiring his store, but he enlisted the help of his friend in order to do that. his friend, who, embezzled all of the funds for the business and disappeared for a year afterwards. the friend is no longer on the paperwork, but they still haven't paid danny back for the money they stole, either. the store nearly closed over it, and danny hasn't forgotten nor forgiven them for it.
in love he's very loyal, almost to a fault. he had the same girlfriend all through high school until she went away for college and cheated on him. since then his relationships have been a series of falling for someone very quickly, thinking the world of them, and the relationship turning out to not be what he thought. ok listen ill just say it, 500 days of summer-core
he's a huge dork. really into music and writes songs and stuff, so you would think he would be a Cool Guy. and I guess maybe he is and can seem that way, but hiding underneath that vintage leather jacket is like, an entire sleeve of Magic the Gathering cards and ideas for his 79th new D&D homebrew campaign.
also loves video games, board games, and weird shit. i think he had an ex at one point who was super into astrology (insert "someone cooked here" meme) and he actually learned a lot about it, he just likes learning about things in general. very open minded. will gladly talk to you about the denver airport if you ask
CONNECTION IDEAS;
the big one is obviously his ex friend who stole money and nearly ruined his business, i will probably offer that as a wc but in case anyone saw that and it fit into their bio i'm slapping it down here
siblings will also be a wc, but i'm open to other family! cousins, or that thing of like where you grow up around each other so you feel like family? the fake cousins at the neighborhood barbecue
all the exes, but especially his first love that broke his heart
friends!! all the friends. some ideas - regular customers at the groovy graveyard, a long time best friend who has stayed close with him and helped him through the mess with his other former best friend, his D&D group and other friends he games with (please i beg) and anything else you can think of
for rival/antagonistic connections, i'd love people who have been bad influences on his siblings in some way.
oh!! he is a cat dad so any other cat people RISE UP ok but no really maybe they debated the pros and cons of automatic feeders one time at the grocery store
ALSO I FORGOT TO ADD HE NEEDS ROOMMATES !!!!
that's all for now but im always open for plotting out other things!! sorry this is so messy i just really wanted to get this up so i could start writing ok ok

New Horizons
Tumblr media
Requested by the lovely @urmilfstep-mom
If you could make a danny brackett x reader from scream 6 that would be really nice id want it to be like them after scream 6 happened they are already dating yk and they live together like the rest you can imagine yourself but these are just some standards so yeah already thx and i love your works by the way
A/N: I totally love this idea and I’m gonna keep the same vibes of the show and keep the reader and Tara as sisters.
P.S. If you like my work please comment like and reblog it means a lot to see interactions on my work
Y/N Pov
A year had gone by since everything had happened. This time we decided to stay in New York. It was our home and Tara was in school. We were tired of running we just wanted to settle down.
Things felt like they were finally coming together. You and Danny were happy and you had even taken the step of moving in with each other. Learning to let go of Tara was hard but you were doing it.
She was moving on campus and the twins promised they would watch after her. I went back to therapy again. It was helping a little bit we were on a journey here.
After everything that happened you two moved far out of the city. You lived in a quiet litle town. There was this amazing cafe that the both you loved so much they saved you a pertmanet seat
You guys even got a dog together. Family walks were the best. Finding new places where you lived. You both loved walking though the park holding hands 
Every day was weird though it was like I was getting better. I was getting to the place I wanted to be
. But then It felt like I kept waiting for something to drop. I had to remind myself not to have a panic attack every time the phone rang.
Danny was incredible though. He was there for you and always re assured   he wasn’t some secret killer obsessed with your dad.  
Sense things were getting back to normal you decided how you wanted the rest of your life to look.
You spent so much time worrying about other people that you needed to take care of yourself. Since  Then? you decided to take some classes at the local community college. Just some general education classes.
You were thinking about becoming a trauma counselor. Being able to help others and know why they weren’t alone. To show people how strong they are.
Danny was doing well as well. He was still hella overprotective of you though. You were grateful to have someone in your life who cared so much about you .
The two of you were even talking a lot about your future together. A family and getting married. It was so crazy how in love with this man you were. Was it too cheesy to sa the completed you.
It always felt like something was missing and now you know why.  
A sense of family and belonging was something you always wanted. Danny and everyone gave you that. someone to come home to. To wake up in the morning and see someone laying down next to you.
You never really thought you were the type to want to settle down and have kids and wear a wedding dress and say sappy vows.
You considered yourself a lone wolf type of person. But being with Danny changed all that.
Havings kids and buying a big house and growing old with him was something you dreamed about. 
You never got tired of being with each other either. He would always drop you off to school or work. And you insisted with finding your own way home. 
He would even drop by for lunch just because he missed you. He would always bring flowers to the most amazing ones. 
Life at home was even better to. You were a terrible cook so he took care of that you did the dishes a true team. 
He always had his set of TV shows he loved to watch. He loved crime shows like FBI. You thought he looked like the guy Nestor but he didn’t see it. 
He made you sit with him and watch them all. He loved sharing his intrest with you. 
He also never wanted to go to bed by himself because was lonely. Which you thought was really sweet. 
The little things like that always meant so much. A simple normal life with the man you were in love with. 
New Horzions were on the way and you welcomed them with open arms

Almighty (Leo Valdez xFem!Oc)
A/N: Love it when characters go "No❤️" -Danny Words: 2,802 Series' Masterlist Previous Chapter // Next Chapter Listen to: 'Rewrite The Stars' -by James Arthur & Anne-Marie
Tumblr media
XXXIII: I Wanna Hold His Hand So Bad It Makes Me Look Stupid
They climb a service platform to take a break from waddling through freezing water. "Gather round, children," Leo manages to light himself on fire after his third try. "Nothing like a blazing-hot Leo to warm you up! Ara knows it better than anyone," he winks at her playfully.
Lester stutters an insult but scoots closer just like Meg. Ara stays put, getting enough warmth from where she's seated. Leo liked to joke that she wouldn't notice she was burning until it was too late because his kisses were simply that hot, but now she has the need to reach out and see what happens. Ara sinks her hand into the flames. One, two, three—
"Ow!" She pulls her steaming hand out and blows on it.
Leo shuts off the blazes. "Did you just stick your hand in?"
Ara blushes. "I was testing something."
"I know I call you bombón sometimes..." he teases her.
"Shut up," she rubs her hand.
"Hey, Apollo," Leo moves his attention from her, which proves he's a merciful soul. "That was nice work back there."
"Which part?" He scoffs. "The drowning? The screaming?"
"Nah, man—how you collapsed that brick wall. You should do that more often."
"That was Ara's idea," he mutters, pulling pieces of plastic from his coat. "And as an annoying demigod once told me, Gee, why didn't I think of that? I've explained before—I can't control those bursts of power. Somehow, in that moment, I found my godly voice. Perhaps Ara's power bounced off of me—"
"You saved me," Meg's voice quivers. "I was going to die. Maybe that's why you got your voice back."
"Yeah, I'm always at my best while trying to save the people I love," Ara smiles innocently, but she knows this is flustering Lester.
"Well, I'm glad you weren't crushed to death, Meg," he tries to play it cool. "Anything broken?"
"Nah. I'm good." She lightly pats her ribcage.
"Are you sure?" Ara insists gently. "That was some nasty hug you got, I've got ambrosia in my bag if you need it?"
"Well, fine, if it'll shut you up," Meg snaps, giving in way too easily.
Ara opens her plushie bag, pulling a small square of ambrosia. "Thank you."
"Why are you thanking me?" Meg huffs. "You're the one helping me."
"For letting her help you," Leo explains. "It's what makes her happy."
"It does," Ara agrees.
"Now, wouldn't you agree it'd be super cool if she could do it forever—?"
"That's enough of that," the girl reaches over and holds his chin affectionately, Leo leans in almost purring at her touch.
Meg looks at Ara, then at Leo, her gaze turning a little shy. "You guys are cute together."
Leo's smile falters for a millisecond, then he replaces it with the faux mirth he's so good at manufacturing. "Aphrodite herself chose me to be her man. That's just how cute we are, like matching salt and pepper shakers."
Ara smiles too, but it's thin. "She didn't choose him, she chose Paris for Helen—it's a long story, you don't wanna hear it."
"Got it," Meg eats the piece of ambrosia in a single bite.
"You two are handling Ara's situation quite bravely," Lester speaks. "Not many partners would react the way you're doing, Valdez."
"Er, how am I reacting, exactly?" Leo fidgets with scraps he's pulling from his tool belt.
"Well, you don't seem sad about the likely chance that you'll grow old and die while Ara stays the same. Good for you for deciding to enjoy her company for as long as it's not weird. Because it gets weird, believe me. There's a reason why young godlings stay away from mortals—"
"Thank you, Lester," Ara intervenes with a less affectionate tone. "That's enough of that."
Ara glances at Leo but the boy pretends to be focused on his tinkering, though she can see the steam rising from his ears.
Tumblr media
While Lester and Meg take the lead to hear what's being said in the throne room, Ara and Leo linger at the back. He leans in and nudges her shoulder. "Why didn't you tell them you broke up with me?"
"I didn't break up with you, I just said it was the wisest thing to do and that we should do it—but you said no, so now I don't know what we are," She mutters under her breath. "Now be quiet!"
Leo's expression takes a moment to shift from confusion, but when it does, the smile that he gives her makes her entire body tingle. "I think that means I'm still your boyfriend."
"Not if I stop calling you that."
"Ay, Hefesto dame fuerzas," Leo rolls his eyes. "Sunshine, you've got a vice grip on me, alright?" to bring his point home, he grabs her by the waist and tugs her closer. He lowers his voice to speak close to her ear. "We've played this game before and I'll never be above chasing you."
"...We know where the Waystation is now."
Ara and Leo freeze, the words hitting them like a slap across the face. 
"Yes, yes. Old Union Station," Commodus scoffs. "But Cleander searched that place several times before and found nothing."
"The Waystation is there," Lit's voice insists. "The tracking devices I planted on the griffins worked perfectly. The place must be protected by some sort of magic, but it won't stand up to a fleet of blemmyae bulldozers."
"Fine. Yes. But I want Apollo captured and brought to me in chains! The naming ceremony is tomorrow. Our dress rehearsal is, like, right now. When can you have the Waystation destroyed?"
"We need to scout the defenses. And gather our forces. Two days?"
"TWO DAYS? I'm not asking you to cross the Alps! I want it to happen now!"
"My gods, he's a huge baby," Ara grumbles. 
"Tomorrow, then, at the latest, sire," Lit decides. "Definitely by tomorrow."
"Hmph. I'm beginning to wonder about you, son of Midas. If you don't deliver—"
"Please say you'll kill him," Leo mutters, tightening his grip on her waist. "Please, be good for something at least once, Toilet man..."
"Leo, you're squeezing me," Ara protests. Though he's not really hurting her and it doesn't bother her at all.
The boy looks at her and smiles. "Yeah, I am," he leans in. "What did Lester say about enjoying you...?"
An alarm blasts off making them stumble away from each other. "Incursion at the front gates!" Lityerses calls out in anger. "I will deal with this, sire. Never fear. Guards, with me!"
Ara sneaks up to Lester and Meg. "You think Emmie and Jo got tired of waiting?"
"Unlikely—hush!" Lester pushes her back gently when Commodus speaks again.
"Alaric."
"Lord?"
"I think your time is approaching. I grow impatient with my prefect. How long has Lityerses had this job?"
"About a day, my lord."
"Seems like forever! As soon as he's dealt with this incursion, I want you to kill him."
"Yes, lord."
"I want you to wipe out the Waystation tomorrow morning at the latest. Can you do that?"
"Of course, lord."
"Good! We'll have the naming ceremony immediately afterward in the colosseum."
"Stadium, my lord."
"Same difference! And the Cave of Prophecy? Is it secure?"
"I have followed your orders, sire. The beasts are in place. The entrance is well guarded. None shall gain access."
"Lovely! Now let's go try on our racing outfits for the dress rehearsal, shall we? I can't wait to remake this city in my own image!"
"Gods, he's worse than Nico," Ara makes a face, listening to the heavy steps going farther away.
"Now," Lester pushes himself out of the sewer with the others following suit.
"Tomorrow morning?" Meg starts pacing, examining the throne room. "We gotta warn Jo and Emmie."
"Yeah," Leo scowls. "But we stick to the plan. First we find the captives. And that Throne of Whatever-It-Is—"
"Memory." Ara and Lester correct him.
"Yeah, that. Then we get out of here and warn Jo and Emmie."
"It may not help," Lester says anxiously. "I've seen how Commodus remakes a city. There will be chaos and spectacle, fire and wholesale slaughter, and lots and lots of pictures of Commodus everywhere. Add to that an army of blemmyae bulldozers—"
"Apollo," Leo made a time-out gesture, looking at Lester as if he were talking nonsense. "We're gonna use the Valdez method on this."
"What's the Valdez method?" Meg asks frowning.
"Don't overthink it," Leo explains. "It'll just make you depressed. In fact, try not to think at all." He looks at Ara, conveying a message just for her. "You get to enjoy life more. You can even handle your girlfriend's immortality far easier than most that way."
Meg looks between them once more, fully convinced by his logic. "'Kay."
Leo smirks at the young girl. "See? Easy! Now let's go blow some stuff up."
Lester and Meg move along. Ara speaks under her breath, visibly annoyed by the fact that she's blushing. "This won't work."
"That's what you think," The boy winks, immensely pleased with himself as he presses a hand on her lower back. "Move along, bombón."
Tumblr media
Meg uses chia seeds to navigate the place. They run into a cleaning lady and Lester uses his singing to make her turn back and leave. "Nice one, Apollo," Leo praises. Ara has noticed that Leo has been praising Lester more, and she can't help but suspect it has to do with her, though she can't connect why.
"It wasn't hard. That tune is wonderful for inducing short-term amnesia."
"Would've been kinder to hit her over the head," Meg taunts him.
"Oh, come now! You like my singing."
Meg replies by punching him in the stomach. "Come on."
"Ow." He responds, following obediently.
A blemmyae is there keeping guard in the next hallway. "I got this," Leo tells them. And just like that, he walks forward and waves at the creature with an ample smile. "Hello! Lovely day! How are you?"
The blemmyae stops and stares at him. "I'm fine. I don't think you're supposed to be here."
"Really?" Leo continues to walk, still smiling. "Thank you!"
Ara feels weirdly proud of his performance. "See that, Meg? Perfect use of fake it 'til you make it." Meg grumbles, but she also looks like she wants to smile.
"You're welcome," the guard continues. "Now if you'll please raise your hands."
"Like this?" Leo lifts his hands and throws white-hot flames at the blemmyae.
They don't cause much damage, and the guard is still able to talk through his earpiece. "Post twelve, I've got—"
Meg goes next and slices up the blemmyae like butter, leaving a golden layer of dust on the ground. "Post twelve, please repeat." Requests a tiny voice in the earpiece. Lester picks it up. "False alarm. Everything is hunky-dorky. Thank you."
"You're welcome. Daily passcode, please."
"Why, certainly! It's—" Lester tosses the earpiece to the ground and stomps on it.
"Smooth," Ara teases him.
"Hunky-dorky?" Meg makes a face.
"It sounded like something a blemmyae would say."
"That's not even the right expression. It's hunky-dory."
"A girl who says goddy is correcting my language."
"While those two fight, would you keep a lookout while I take care of this door, my love?" Leo asks sweetly at Ara, abusing the usage of pet names now more than ever just to press her. "There's gotta be something important in here."
Ara stands with her back turned and watches Meg plant seeds in the middle of the hallway. "Meg, what are you doing?" Lester tilts his head.
"Chia."
"I can see that, but..." He leaves the sentence unfinished, not understanding the girl's actions.
"They wouldn't last any longer in my hand," Meg explains. "Everything alive deserves a chance to grow."
Ara watches her intently, no longer having that chance. She could feel it in her bones, in the way her skin shredded to give way to a newer one that would not stretch or wrinkle. The girl decides then and there that if it's not in the cards for her to grow old, then she'll work hard so everyone around her finds a comfortable place where to do it for her.
"Yes!" Leo pushes the door open. "Who's the best?"
"Me?" Lester blurts out wistfully, then pouts. "You didn't mean me, did you?"
"It's never you, buddy," Ara nudges him forward.
They enter the room and find the prisoners, one of them she recognizes. "Kowalski!"
The girl gets up and presses her palms against the same spots where Ara placed hers on the enclosure's glass. Her expression is one of concern mixed with hope, and Ara sees her mouthing the words "General" and "Glad you're here".
"Madre de los dioses," Leo whispers in horror behind her, examining the room.
Ara spots the two rail-thin demigods huddled close to each other in a cell, and another boy at the far corner that for a moment confuses her because, for a split second, Ara thinks he's Beckendorf.
"Gods Almighty," Ara says dryly. "When I get my hands on Commodus..."
"Them first," Meg walks past her and cuts an almost perfect circle on the glass keeping the two demigods, then they try to move but they're too weak. Ara steps forward and follows Meg inside, pushing her Octopus off one shoulder and searching for her squares of ambrosia. 
"There we go..." she feeds them gently. "Eat slowly..."
Leo releases the hunter by melting the glass, and she jumps out grabbing the hammer Leo left behind while trying to figure out how to break into the cells. "More weapons, I need more weapons..."
"Um, I got a screwdriver, a hacksaw, and... I think this is a cheese cutter."
"What are you, a tinkerer?"
"One of the best you'll meet, Ko," Ara turns and smiles at the girl.
The girl gifts Ara with a huge smile. "General Jackson..." she swoops all the tools Leo is offering and then walks up to Ara, kneeling in greeting. "I knew you'd come. We've been expecting you for days."
"Stand up, soldier," Ara gets up too. "I'm here."
"I was told you are escorting Apollo," the girl looks back at the kids that came with her. "Is he here?"
"I'm Apollo," Lester says.
"Right," Kowalski eyes him a moment before turning her attention to Ara. "The rest of the Hunters should be on their way. I was the nearest to Indianapolis. I decided to play advance scout. Obviously, that didn't work out so well for me." She scans Ara from head to toe, her expression changing from concern to intrigue. "General, you look..."
"Yes, don't mention it," Ara brushes it off. "There were some intruders a few minutes ago by the gates, I think your sisters are here."
"We need to leave, then," the hunter turns to help Meg with the boys. "Quickly."
"Prisoners should never be treated this way," Lester says indignantly.
"Oh, they weren't denied food," Ara's friend explains. "They've been on a hunger strike. Courageous... for a couple of boys. I'm Hunter Kowalski, by the way."
"A Hunter named Hunter?" Lester raises a brow.
"Yeah, I have heard that a million times. Let's free the others."
The next in line is a dracaena. Ara hesitates to release her but Kowalski steps forward. "She's friendly. We shared a cell last night until the guards separated us. Her name's Sssssarah, with five s's."
"Of course," Ara turns to the creature. "Hi."
Up close, the guy Ara thought was Beckendorf looks way older than Beck and also better groomed. Even though he's wearing a loincloth only, he carries himself with the dignity Ara only sees in experienced demigods, and his eyes, dark and calculating, make her think of Nico.
"Not that one," the dracanae tries to stop her from releasing him. "Too dangerousssss."
"Lady, we need dangerous friends," Leo raises a brow.
"Yessss, but that one fought for money. He wassss employed by the emperor. He'sssss only here now because he did ssssomething to anger Commodussss."
"All the more reason to free him," Ara says, unable to tear her gaze away from the demigod. He's not Greek or Roman, but from a totally different world. She can feel it. "Leo?"
"On it, babe." Leo sets him free and Ara notices the way Lester's soul light is bright as he stares, practically gaping, at the stranger. 
The young man steps out, towering over all of them, and Lester hurries to speak. "Hello. I'm the immortal god Apollo. Who might you be?" 
When he speaks, his deep and imposing voice gives Ara a shiver. "I am Jimmy."
"A noble name," Lester says in awe, "worthy of kings."
"Apollo, get over here," Meg calls, having no interest in the stranger.
Ara offers to shake hands with the older boy. "It isn't of any relevance to you, I think, but my name is Arae and I'm the General of Olympus. I look after Greek and Roman demigods, but I can help you too."
Jimmy eyes her a moment before shaking her hand and testing her grip. "You're strong."
"And useful to you," she smiles. "So let's play nice, alright?"
"Ara," Lester calls. "Georgie's here."
The girl leaves Jimmy and approaches the last cell. She and Lester enter together carefully to avoid startling the young girl, who's the same height as Ara, which disorients her a bit.
"Apollo." The girl giggles, her hair is cut off in different chunks which doesn't help to make her seem less insane. "You and the dark. Some death, some death, some death." She looks at Ara and smiles. "Pantodýnamos. You don't get to choose."
"Right," Ara gulps. "Lead the way, Lester."

I've been thinking about Dahlia a lot recently, mainly her headcanon voice and overall surface-level personality, but a lot of it isn't set in stone as of right now. So, instead of just waiting until I come up with a definite idea, I'll post it here:
Dahlia's headcanon voice is one I can't really decide on terms of a specifics, but it's basically that "Stereotypical Goth Girl" voice kind you would find on a cartoon. The voices I've found are: Raven from Teen Titans...
Tumblr media
Thorn, lead singer of The Hex Girls, from Scooby Doo...
Tumblr media
Ember McClain from Danny Phantom...
Tumblr media
And Creepie from Growing Up Creepie.
Tumblr media
As for her personality, Dahlia is definitely the "Perky Goth" - a subversion of the "All Goths are Mopey" trope. She's right up there with Abby from NCIS and Death from The Sandman series.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I was also thinking about her relationship with Phantom, which is more like a "fan/celebrity" kind of deal without the power imbalance since both are adults and Dahlia is a director in the Space Opera Network.
She has had some romantic experiences before her arrival, most of which weren't so great. Long story short, Dahlia was basically neglected by her ex and was left behind because she was "scary." This led to her struggling with having feelings for Phantom due to her believing that she's too weird/creepy and that she isn't "supposed" to have such emotions.
Phantom, however, doesn't see that. Despite her appearance, her films, and her obsession with gore effects, he can see clearly that Dahlia is a genuine sweetheart and a visionary. This causes conflict within himself due to his massive ego, needing to be The Best out of literally everyone around him. His narcissistic tendencies begins to diminish once he's with her, realizing that she's a game he cannot win.
Both Dahlia and Phantom have worked together, usually with Dahlia being the director and Phantom as the main star of her films. They have both created numerous works, such as "Opening Night: Tales of Death", "Murder at Malaria Manor", "The Mad Lover", and "From Darkness He Sang".
Both are very romantic - Phantom is obvious but Dahlia can be described as a hopeless romantic of sorts. She fancies the more old-fashioned and rather morbid kind of romance. The kind where kisses are delicately placed on the hand (and fangs on necks), date nights inside cemeteries, and lovely handwritten poems are told underneath the full moon.

UGH I NEED TO TALK ABOUT THIS STUPID ORIGINAL STORY INSPIRED BY CHILCHUCK BUT I HAVE NO ONE TO LISTEN TO IM GOING TO TUMBLR
You can ignore this I just needa get it out somewhere
anyway it started out as a chil family au where Chilchuck and Meijack were knights serving a king and Meijack falling in love with a princess. But then I had an idea for an au about the whole family they were like in Ireland in the dark ages. Eventually I combined them together and took away the whole concept of it taking place in the dunmeshi universe. And instead put it in an original universe I already had and put them in an area that's based off Celtic mythology. So all the mythology was real so it was like Celtic fantasy kinda.
Then I realized I was changing the characters so much in appearance and personality (for Chilchuck and mickbell anyway) and that I was basically writing for scratch for Dandan, Meijack, Bellana (Chilwife), Puckpatti, and Flertom not to mention added a bunch of other original characters I thought "why am I limiting myself to it being an au" so I renamed and redesigned them all. They all still kinda look like their dunmeshi counterparts but that's ok.
I've already drafted out like 23 chapters so I just wanna vent about it cuz I'm never gonna like post it as a proper au fanfic or anything
Tumblr media
Dandan is the only one I've made a REAL redesign for. But as you can see it still looks like him if you squint lmao. And his name is Danny (for now cus I still liked the idea of him going Dan but I might change it again)
OK THE ACTUAL PLOT
The Celt inspired people have a "peace treaty" with another ground of people inspired by the French (stay with me). The French will import lots of goods their people on the islands need in return every 20 years they take 50 "young men" (when in reality it's boys ages 15-20) to serve as knights for their military for 20 years.
Well at 15 Chilchuck's character gets picked along with his older brother Keegan (original character) bc they're very big as it runs in the family so they stand out a lot.
Chilchuck does his time, Keegan died during that time. But his lover and woman he proposed to literally the day he was taken, Bellana was pregnant with Maelock. (Meijack yes Ik very different leave me alone.) Maelock gets around 16, when she decided to go over seas because she can't wait another 4 years to meet her father and becomes a knight too in a desperate attempt to know him. Well while she's there she gets appointed to protect the princess and they fall in love secret love affair yada. Also Chilchuck's character becomes the captain of the royal forces, so he used the power he had to take Maelock home with him 4 years later when he retired.
Tumblr media
(Which is what this drawing I did is about)
Anyway they come home. And Chilchuck is obviously very different. Not only as he went from 15 to 35 he's like severally traumatized bc yk war obviously. Because Maelock was more of a guard and wasn't there as long she's not as bad. She just seems very depressed bc she left the love of her life but no one knows that.
So most of the story is Chilchuck's character trying to become adjusted to "domestic life again." They have three more daughters. Bonnie (Flertom's counterpart), Paddy (Puckpatti), and Nessa (original). Which having young kids as he didn't get to see Maelock grow up is really hard for him and part of it is learning how to deal with it.
Tumblr media
(Not to mention having to reconnect with his family and himself like he is in these sorta)
While Chilchuck's character is tired and wants to never touch a sword (unless it's for defeating monsters cuz the islands and literally CRAWLING with crazy ass creatures. That's another part of it) ever again in his entire life. But Bellana's brother Danny (Dandan) on the other hand is angry. Bc he has to raise Maelock as a father figure. He has to take care of his pregnant sister at only 12 years old. He had to watch the families grief back at him for years and suffer because of their sons being taken to literally DIE. And it's very rare the boys come back. Only like 6 out of the 20 came back including Chilchuck's character I think.
Danny wants an uprising. He was to break that contract. And he believes that since Chilchuck's experience and position with the kingdom over seas will help them. That they possibly had a chance to win with him. But Chilchuck's character doesn't want to fight. He's tired. He doesn't want to see anyone else die under his command. Danny is angry with his in law but more at the people who took him.
Chilchuck's character kinda keeps this mindset especially since he had all girls so none of them would get taken. It's not until him and Danny find a beggar boy in the snow after getting publicly punished for stealing to eat and his husky (changed Kuro to a real dog but might change the type again). It's a cold night and he'll probably die out there. So they take him in. They make a deal that if he works they'll feed him and clothe him and let him stay with them. Only rules are not to steal and don't speak or touch his daughters. Or he'll "put his head on a spike and feed his body to wild boars" lol.
Tumblr media
(Them before I fully changed them. Mickbell and Chilchuck still need a proper redesign)
Well mickbells character (I CANNOT think of a new name for him.) is untrusting. Standoffish and his dislike for the family is very clear. But he is taken back by the kindness specially Bellana and Danny show him. Eventually he warms up to them and he sort of becomes part of the family. And he even falls for the second oldest daughter Bonnie (changed their ages so they're like the same age).
Well the date for when the kingdom comes back to take new boys is finally coming. And mickbells gotten pretty well built with the labor and being fed multiple times a day now. Chilchuck's character knows he'd definitely be chosen as he's only about 18, and it's pretty much pointless to hide him because the soldiers make sure no one can hide.
So finally Chilchuck's character decides alright I'll do something but it won't be war. (At least he hopes it won't cause one) so with his leadership the people of the village sunk the ship that came to collect them. Well this doesn't go well obviously, and the kingdom takes this as a broken treaty and they send battle ships.
They try to get as many people to the cliffs for safety as possibly. Because they literally cannot keep up with their technology (and they kingdom has use of magic while the Celtic people do not) so Chilchuck's character just tried to get everyone away with the rest of the family.
Accept for Maelock who knows for a fact that her life the Princess Willow (original) would have been crowned queen by now because she would've inherited the throne at 30 and she knew she was already way in her 30s. And it was costume for the leader or whatever. Maelock knew Willow enough to know she wouldn't do this on her own and it was probably the Queen 2 sessions before her (her grandma basically) pulling the strings as she had been for many years.
Maelock gets to the front of the battle finds Willow and tells her the truth behind everything. Willow and her parents were told by the grandmother that for years the men were coming willingly because they were paid very handsome sums for their work. And they were aloud to visit their families and etc etc just a bunch of lies.
Willow calls it off. As queen she issues a formal apology to the people and sets a new issue where they kingdom and island and trade partners and nothing more. With Willow and Maelock being together again they marry which also furthers a real peace between each country. Maelock does go live with Willow over seas but she tries to visit her family often.
I want Chilchuck's character to die. Either just from old age or he gets cursed. But I figured that wouldnt happen in the canon time line so I've just left
Anyways I know no one actually sat here and read this whole thing but IF YOU DID omg??? Thank you so much hope this wasn't a huge waist of your time Abe I love you sm 😭🙏
Tumblr media
(Bonus drawing cuz I didn't really have a talking point to fit it with lol. But the two of them have complete redesigns too I just haven't gotten to drawing then out yet.)

Alright! So, that fic about that disastrous first day of school when Erin’s eight got me thinking: If Peg’s quietly enduring all that shit from the other moms to try to get her a good education, maybe she isn’t the only parent doing that. It’s possible Erin’s not the only kid who’s singled out for being “different,” and any other kid in a similar boat would probably reach out and try to make friends.
I started thinking about some solidarity happening in the aftermath of that, and I came up with a concept that you can absolutely take or leave: A physically disabled girl—I’ve been picturing, like, a limp—in Erin’s class/grade reaching out to make friends the next day, and the solidarity being instantaneous.
Again, there’s no pressure, feel free to take it or leave it—this plot bunny just wouldn’t leave me alone until I dropped it in your askbox, and (at least in my case, growing up) I feel like physically disabled/NT solidarity is a pretty common thing.
(And also the mental image of Erin bringing this kid home for a play date—and said kid immediately imprinting upon Hawkeye because A: he’s a cool, funny adult, and B: he’s like Erin, which means all three of them have a little in common—is both hilarious and fluffy as hell. Just—I could totally see him slowly amassing a gaggle of adoptive kids with every new friend Erin makes.)
—MASH!Anon
Oh love that; it's actually very similar to a fic that I was trying to write that never got done - Erin making friends with a young gay boy in her class when they're in 4th/5th grade; if i ever wind up circling back to finish that one, it would be So great to integrate this idea in there as well, since all of the fics in this series have been split up into 3s so far!
as a bonus i'll put in an exerpt of that WIP that i've dug out of an old notebook :3 (bullying tw tho)
[Context: Erin saw this boy being knocked around by some classmates and told her teacher, who broke it up, but the classmates shoved her into the mud as retaliation for 'trying to get them in trouble']
"Do you need help?" someone asks, and Erin freezes because she does not know if they are only waiting to be mean or not. She stays silent, and they sigh. "You do. Come on, I can get the mud out."
She doesn't really want to go with them, but she knows that the bathroom is the right next step anyway, so she follows, tense with anticipation for what they might spring on her.
But the boy only checks that the bathroom is empty before pulling her inside, turning on the sink, and examining the stains on her sleeves critically.
"It'll be easier if you take it off," he says, but Erin shakes her head fast. The last time someone asked her to take off her sweater so that they "could take a look at it", they had run off and hid it. The teacher said that maybe it was good that she took a break from it for a while, and only made the other kids give it back when Erin started crying so hard she almost made herself sick.
The boy shrugs, and pulls Erin over to stick her whole arm under the running water, carefully scrubbing at the fabric with his fingers, and it reminds Erin of Hakweye - the way he washes her sweater and his robe together in the sink, as gentle as possible to keep the fabric from all wearing out.
"I have to wash the mud outta my pants all the time when they push me," the boy explains suddenly, startling Erin with the sound of his voice. "My mom would get so mad if I let them all stain."
That's when Erin recognizes him. "You are the boy they were kicking," she says.
He winces - "Sorry," he mumbles. "Does it bother you that a homo's the one washing your clothes?"
Erin thinks of Hawkeye. "No," she says, but doesn't elaborate. She understands her parents' secret even more now, and this boy might be kind, and he might even be the same, but Erin doesn't know him enough to trust him. "My name is Erin," she adds belatedly.
"I'm Danny."

Danny, being a 10 year old halfa and still managed to beat pariah, save amity park. Revealing to his parents that he was phantom gone great, and while being trained by all pandora, clockwork, and Fright Knight, which added to amount, he was still in school.
The boy had enough on his plate after finding his haunt door in the Ghost realm as a break time, which reminded him dearly of the little prince on the moon bedtime story jazz used to read him.
Sitting on a little planet like Pluto surrounded by space, the stars and planets, galaxies as far as his eyes can see.
The little ghost prince who wears an icy flamed crown far too big to sit on his neck, his ring far too big, and was remade to be a bracelet with Pluto as the design.
Knowing that he rules over everything because he was the high prince of the infinite realm that binds every multiverse together was a big awakening. After meeting the lower class subjects such as Demons, angels,(actually angelss!?!), ghostly aliens, mythical gods, creatures, and Faes who had a LOT to complain about.
Particular about some laughing magicians that scam them all over his soul, who fucking trade their own soul like this had to be insane?!? Haven't they seen Harry potter movies?
It wasn't the worst part after seeing that he wasn't aging as fast as everyone was when he was human. By the time he even reached Casper High, he was known as The Little Munchkin to everyone, and he mean everyone.
At least Dash doesn't bully him anymore like he used to in middle school and pretty much became his body guard alongside Sam and Tucker.
Being 46 inches tall was horrible, yet good advantages in some cases.
Frostbite did tell him that due to him being a halfa and being crowned prince by Conquest. It may have slowed his aging, but he doesn't know exactly how long it takes for him to grow since they never had a halfa so young before.
Ellie, his neverborn baby sister clone who dependant on him and jazz, likes to wander around with him or jazz like a koala, but like to be invisible a lot and likes to snatch his favorite nasty burger kid meal toy even though he got her extra kid meal.
She was his little neverborn princess of infinite realms, and frostbite kept her company as he went through meetings after meeting after meeting with the meanies again.
It was a good idea souping the eyeballs after they complained about ellie.
Pandora is one scary ghost after what she threatened Zeus with about him as they were discussing the broken bridge between mortal realms and them as Zeus slipped out about him being an elderitch freak of ghostling nature.
Danny was unaware of the official protection of the little prince cult he had started back then, but he loved the space related gifts, roses, and that limited editon fox plushy that was sold out months ago that kept appearing in a nice table floating around his little pluto planet in his haunt. (Kid doesn't know he got offerings on an altar for him)
Until one day, he received an odd gift that was a bunch of letters to danyal? He thought someone wrote his name wrong, but a lot of them?
He sat on his little planet as he opened each one and read what was inside.
As old memories of a past he didn't know click in his core..
DPXDC PROMPT: DEMON TWINS, BUT DANYAL NEVER REVIVED
Imagine Danyal never getting revived by the Pits after he had to battle Damian to the death. Ra's instantly destroys the body at the last breath that Danyal takes because he knows that his daughter will have a moment of weakness and he wasn't willing to let a weak one live. I'd like to put them around the ages of 5-6 ish.
Damian thought it was normal, and treated everything as fine because it was always expected of him. His twin was the weaker one after all. All emotional and soft despite the training. He has never called his brother "Akhi" bc he was weak and refused to acknowledge him as a brother
Meanwhile, Talia was grieving her son. Danyal who was just like his father where the people in League would call weak because he was reluctant to kill and was very soft at heart. That's when she made plans to remove her only remaining child from the League and overtake her father.
So Damian was sent off to his father.
Now, Danyal Al Ghul has been reincarnated into Daniel 'Danny' Fenton. He was born and raised in the Fenton's family and has no idea about his past life.
Now, I kind of want Danny to get turned into a ghost at a younger age. Maybe age 10 so Damian would be 16, so there would be an age gap of 5-6 years.
Damian has lived with the Waynes for years now. When he was younger, he didn’t and had never regretted killing his brother. After all, was it a surprise that the moment he entered the Manor, he tried killing Tim? He had already killed one brother, more over his own blood, so what is another, if not an inferior one due to having no relation to him at all?
But now, he regrets it so much. But it's been years, and he barely even remembers Danyal's face. He didn’t tell his family bc he didn't want them to grieve over a family that was long dead. That was practically destroyed the moment he died, so there was nothing left of him. He has no memories of his brother either, only his name, so how could he offer comfort to the other bats when he couldn’t even tell some stories about him either?
The bats are now tied up by a cult, and Damian was in the center of the sacrificial circle.
The cult was summoning someone of Damian's deceased family or something like plot convenience for a summoning. To use them to fight against the bats bc how sad it would be bc they would have to fight against a dead family member that was controlled by them. Damian was struggling bc it could be anyone from the League.
Then, to his horror, it was his brother who was summoned. He was suspended in the air in a fetal position asleep, but he appeared transparent with a tail.
"Danyal" He said, horrified. He appeared older for some reason, but the instant he was summoned, he knew it was him.
Batman, who was trying to reach for Damian, stared at the sleeping ghost. He appeared similar to Damian and his mind did the mental math. He didn’t know exactly when did the ghost died, but judging by his age, he looked to be about the age Damian came to the Manor. And judging by how anguished Damian looked, he came to the right conclusion that the ghost was Damian's brother, his son.
He mourned. This was simultaneously the oldest and the youngest he would have ever seen.
That is also what the rest of the bat thinks and comes to the conclusion of. They broke out of their restrains due to fury and stuff, and the circle is erased, the ghost gone before they had a chance to use him against them.
Meanwhile, (pre-Ghost King maybe) Danny just jolted in bed, confused about what happened bc he had a feeling he turned into a ghost. But he shrugged it off and went back to sleep.

“Do you see her with me?! No! No you don’t!” She pointed an accusatory finger at him from afar. “And that’s your fault! Watching your baby isn’t my job! Gods, Hiccup, just keep looking!”
“It’s also not the time to lose your one month old daughter! But here we are!”
She smacked Hiccup on the back of his head, after Astrid had Zephyr of course, and scoffed at him in a scolding manner. “Yeah, Hiccup, don’t hog Astrid’s baby from her, Gods, could you be any more insensitive?”
“Oh I’ve noticed.”
At Hiccups defense about his supposed grey hair, Danny tugged on the collar of her tunic, audibly saying the word ‘gulp.’ “Ooo… uh, I hate to break it to you man, but you don’t even look wise now, so I don’t think having old man features is going to help you out, at all…”
Danny burst out laughing. “Welp, now we know if Zephyr actually goes missing while you’re asleep, you won’t be too much help,” she teased. “At least she has her mom!”
Still laughing slightly, she sat back down in her chair, picking up the fur that had fallen to the ground and throwing it back over the chair neatly.
Looking at the couple in front of her, her lips curved downwards into a small frown. Astrid was back, so… should she leave? They would surely want to spend more time together with their daughter, right…?
“Soo… Should I uh, do you guys want me to go…? ‘Cause I totally can, I’m sure Eret could use some help.”
(Uh… is this on the way to getting a little angsty? perchance 🤷‍♀️ Also no worries!!)
"What do you think I'm doing?! Running around like a one-legged chicken for fun??"
"Ow!" Rubbing the back of his head where Danny smacked him, he glared at Danny. "Insensitive? Me? Oh, come on, you both know that's not true." Looking at Astrid, his jaw dropped when she avoided making eye contact, struggling not to laugh. "Wait, really?"
Stroking his chin, he thoughtfully said, "Then maybe I should grow a beard... maybe that will help..."
Expression serious, he nodded. "You're absolutely right, Danny." Turning to look at Astrid, his features softened. "Where would we be without Astrid? I know Zephyr and I are both lucky to have her."
Astrid laughed. "Oh, you turned that around real fast, didn't you?"
"Yeah, I did. Smooth, huh?"
"...Uh-huh. About as smooth as a Catastrophic Quaken being stealthy." Astrid laughed again.
"Wait, that's not a compliment!"
The two started laughing, and Zephyr was happy, too, despite having no idea what was happening.
At Danny's suggestion of leaving, the two of them both looked at her, their faces showing surprise.
Hiccup shook his head. "What? No, you don't have to go. We'd love for you to stay a little longer, if you're able."

Barry, Constantine, and the Kid
I was reading "I Just Wanna Talk" by foldingfacets and the way Barry interacts with Danny, and his whole misunderstanding just gave me a very very good fic idea.
Danny was Constantine's kid! But thanks to whatever ex had him, John had no idea who Danny was, nor that his kid had been put up for adoption. (I'm feeling a random one-night stand with some god-adjacent being so that Danny was already very much Other, compared to normal people). His not fully human blood had him survive the Fenton household, seeing as Jazz had radiation exposure since she was little basically so she'd survived thanks to that.
Danny kinda figured he was adopted. Sure his hair was black like Jack's and his blue eyes weren't anything abnormal, but his parents were both very very white. And he was much more tan, definitely Mideastern. Jazz actually confirmed it when he asked one time, but he still loved them all dearly. He tried to love them all, but it was hard when the only one he really remembers raising him is his sister. Until the accident happens and things just go south.
Like, Danny does his whole hero thing, and works things out with his ghosts because most of them were either messing around or didn't realize he was actually a baby ghost because he was so strong or smth, idk, they cooperate with him and just come to bug him and play fight when bored or needing to satisfy their core. All in all, he's King of the Infinite Realms now and he is not having a good time tm-
He's SEEN all the John Constantine things, but never bothered with tracking this guy down because hey! selling his soul to multiple entities to prevent ANYONE from getting it was really smart! Who was he to fault the guy.
It kind of all comes crashing down though when things go horribly ary with his adoptive parents. He overheard them talking, and even though they did love him, he learned that to them he wasn't just their kid. He was still the kid Jazz really wanted for a brother. After literally growing up in their house, he wasn't on the same level as Jazz. Simply because he was adopted, and neither had truly planned to adopt him.
And despite learning this, he tries so hard to still love and few them as his parents, because he's NOT their kid! They're right, but they still raised him no they didn't it was Jazz and he thought that they at least loved him more than that some part of him knew they never had. So when Jazz suggests they tell them, together for his own safety, he agrees for two reasons. 1, he loves and trusts Jazz and she really wanted to believe they were better than just ghost hunting. 2, he could finally know the truth, whether they would not believe him, hate him, or love him.
They don't.
Maddie and Jack both believe he died due to their creation. They don't doubt that for a moment. Jazz is thrilled at first, thinking that meant they would feel sorry, apologize, accept Danny, ANYTHING except harm him. But she was wrong as they tried to shoot him. She tried to stop them, and they told her even if he was Danny, that he was a ghost which meant it wasn't ever really going to be him again. And Jazz was horrified, asking how they could shoot their own son, ghost or not, and as if it was the simplest thing in the world, they say he wasn't their son.
And that was it.
Danny ran.
He hid in the ghost zone, and Jazz tried to come with. She ended up destroying the portal, outing Vlad, and running away with a voice recorder of their parents and the conversation they'd had. Sam and Tucker have to lay low, only messaging Danny to ask if he'd been hurt.
Danny didn't reply.
After a few months, his friends had gotten a reply a few days after, so had Jazz, saying he was fine and Fright Knight was watching over him, which was true but the Knight was more worried than anything, Pandora stopped by. She was kind of like an aunt, so she hated to see him sad. But she'd also realized something.
Halfa, as most VERY old ghosts and Ancients know, are rare to find. Vlad was an odd case, being Halfa-adjacent but not a true Halfa since it took 20 years for his powers to grow to what they were when it was normal for quick power growth like Danny. Not only does one need to die with a bunch of ectoplasm nearby, but they must have a few other requirements. Such as a bond with the supernatural, strong magic, etc. No mortal being without very strong and innate abilities would survive a full Halfa creation. So she'd always been curious as to how Danny survived when even heroes who'd been exposed to death would not near chance of being a Halfa.
Being a demi-god made it a lot easier. Even then, not all demi-gods would survive either, seeing as it would be rare for them to be within range of the ectoplasm needed to balance their god-like blood. Danny was an incredibly special case. Pandora had found out that Danny wasn't just a demi-god, but the human who was his parent was an incredibly strong magic user. So much so, that he'd tricked and tried his way through many many years of his life. Honestly, Pandora was amazed the human was alive.
Telling Danny of his father was not in her plan, though she did tell him of his demi-god blood. She also told him, that it may be safer with heroes.
So with a little time to heal, not really he was still bandaged up but at least he wasn't about to fall apart, Danny got Wulf and Cujo, the former opening a portal with a sad goodbye for the time being. (Really, Wulf would always know where Danny was.) Either way, Danny had planned to find this John Constantine, since seeing as he'd somehow avoided death all while dimension hoping, he was probably a good bet. Or at the very least could help him find a hero to help.
Falling through the portal with Cujo, he hadn't expected a giant room in what he could only guess was a secret base. There was a hero, he really should have looked up heroes, but most of his childhood hadn't really given him access to anything outside of his hometown, which was staring in shock at him.
And Flash meets Danny.
And instantly wants to adopt the kid. Sorry, Bruce! This one is his kid actually! But when he hears the boy's reason for being there, the poor kid looking utterly terrified and apologetic for barging in and trying to explain how Constantine's contact info had led him here, Barry is just crushed. He's keeping the kid entertained, panicking, and trying to contact John.
Wally ends up meeting him while they're waiting, and it instantly taking this kid as his own new brother. If his boyfriend gets a bunch of younger siblings so does he!
Either way, both speedsters are already filing adoption papers, not really as much as Barry wants to because he knows better than to take in an unknown even with how horrifying this child's accidental slips of his home-life was like.
So we have an MIA John, not like that's rare-, an unknown child who they really need to test DNA for but don't want to scare him, speedsters already mentally said kid's parent, and a whole lot of chaos. Danny had no IDEA that Constantine is his bio dad, Clockwork had Pandora hint him this way for a reason though...he got a dad one way or another and in some universes, he had 2. So. No loss situation to the Ancient.
They are not ready for this traumatized ass kid because he doesn't even realize he'd traumatized. Wait till he has a panic attack though, Danny, despite his apparent obliviousness to how fucked up he should be, will finally seem like the hurt kid he is.
And oh boy, wait till someone accidentally jostles a wound during that whole first meeting since Danny's hiding his wounds. Now that's a whole other bag of worms to open, like how'd he get them????

Ok hear me out!
So um I had a fic idea and the brain worms took over ima be posting it here and if all goes well to ao3 Chapter 1 of the fic is below
Summary: After an accident kills everyone the boy has ever known and injured the god of time, clockwork rushes to the only place he’s knows will take the now boy king. Gotham takes the now 6 year old Danny in to her arms, her child of the stars. And she’s going to ensure he gets the life he always deserved.
Mother of the storm and her star child
Chapter 1: In which a ward is gained
Clockwork clutches his side, the toxic green substance that makes up his being spilling on to his purple robes. As he flies over a city with a sky set dark over the horizon. Despite his very core feeling like it's about to split at the seams, he dare not falter. For in his arms is a bundle of blankets he holds his king. Much smaller than he was just an hour ago as his body rebuilds itself.
All he can do is pray that his old friend cand lend him a hand. That she’ll take in the only thing he has left to live for. The young boy has nowhere else to go and clock work has his own wounds to address. As he lands at last falling to his knees, wincing as his wound lets out another puff of its toxic excision. He sets the boy down in the alley and knows that she'll find him soon.
As thunder roles over the dark city, from the shadows a figure steps out into the dim light. Her skin is a dark purple, her hair seems to be made of the very storm that follows her wherever she gose. Her eyes a yellow like lighting breaking from the dark sky, dressed in black dress with a shawl made of stars. “ Gotham, you look well old friend,” CW manages to spit out threw pain with a weak smile on his face.
——————————————————
“Clockwork?” her voice booms as the thunder rolls, her eyes narrow at the bundle in his arms.
“Let me explain, Pleas old friend I need your help,” he begs weakly, his form shifting yet shaking. He takes his hand off his side to move the blanket, in his arms a child no older than six(6). He's skin and bones, he's so small, smaller than he has any right to be. His raven hair is messy and his clothes 5 sizes too big. “ Please old friend, he has nowhere left to go, no kin to return to,” clock work says as his form shifts to that of an old man sending another green stain against the pavement. “ I am all that remains yet i'm afraid I must lick my own wounds if I wish to live to see him threw”
Gothem eyes her old acquaintance barely holding himself together, then her eyes drift to the small boy that lay in his arms. Her expression softens, she leans down and takes the wad from the ghost. And then like a wave of ice that chills her to the bone she realizes what she is holding. “ The boy king? Who? WHY!” her eyes slit and the thunder grows stronger. The wind begins to wip as she eyes the small bae that lay in her arms.
“His parents they…… they found him,” he snarls, “ They Hurt him….. The lab is no more it…. It took everyone, all I could do was save him but” he takes a heaving breath,” I could only do so much.”
Gotham seemed to understand what he ment, she looked at the boy still asleep with sorrow in her eyes, “ Please dear friend” clockwork begged once more, “ give him the life he always deserved, I cant keep him, not like this.” His throat felt tight as his eye stung, he can't cry not now.
“With everything I am, the boy will be safe,” The thunder low and distant like a spring storm, “ go now heal and so you may return to him once more” She smiles as she sees a peak of the boy's eyes as he dreams, blue, a beautiful vibrant blue. “ I know someone who will love him as his own'' Clock work fades his form relaxing as he disappears into the night.
The sky begins to cry but not in sorrow but joy, the prince has a new home and Gotham will insure he’ll grow, to be the king that the realm deserves. As she turns him to shield him from the rain a ring of light washes over the boy, his hair is white as snow, freckles make the stars, and a crown rest upon his brow. “ Rest now, my child of the stars, here you'll find you belong.” With that they boy renters to his human state. Now she just has to figure out how to induce him to her other children.
If y’all like it I’ll keep going also thinking about sketching what I envision my version of Gotham looks like. I like the idea of her being a storm spirit and that’s why Gotham always rains.
I did it [part 2]

Note
Inspired by Teenage Mercenary, a DC × DP AU in which Danny plays the role on Ijin except instead of a foreign country Danny grew up in the Ghost Zone after an ill fated trip wherein Jack, Madeline and Danny entered the ghost zone in the prototype Specter Speeder but failed to return. Instead of growing up with her grandparents, Jazz is taken in by Vlad and then one day an older iteration of Danny emerges from Vlad's ghost zone portal. Jazz bearhugs Danny and Danny hugs her back, in steps Vlad who also hugs his godson adding to the dog pile.
Vlad uses Jazz's preexisting attendance to Gotham Academy to get Danny into the school as a new student and Danny is sorted into the same homeroom as one Tim Drake.
Sorry for the delay on this, Shroud, I wanted to be able to give you something good instead of whatever hot garbage my fevered brain churned out. I mean, it might still be hot garbage, but at least I tried, you know?
Anyway
I LOVE this idea an amount that you probably expected. Let's start with the immediate effects and then push out to when he returns!
Vlad
The objects of his obsession (Maddie and Jack) are gone. Dead. He even goes to the GZ to find them with no luck; just a wrecked Specter Speeder, parts and pieces of Maddie and Jack, and a blood-soaked baby seat.
Understandably, his mental status is completely rocked. If he didn't have the (once minor) obsessions with family and custody of Jazmine, his core would've shattered.
All that to say: this is a Vlad more like the future one in the apocalypse during TUE. He's broken, barely holding himself together for the sake of this broken-hearted little girl, and is forced to move on.
Jazmine
Despite being only 3 at the time of the accident, she has a lot of guilt. She thinks she should have faked being sick, thrown a tantrum, ANYTHING. It takes years of therapy (hence her goal of being a psychiatrist) for her to internalize it wasn't her fault. She was 3. She wasn't even at the house, she was at a sleepover. How was she supposed to stop them?
Despite her (unfair) guilt, she moves to calling Vlad 'dad' pretty quickly. Now, when she thinks of her dad, it's our favorite Green Bay Packers fan. When somebody presses about her bio dad, she has a few pictures, some stories, and a vague memory of a man in orange buckling up her older brother for the last ride he would ever take.
She misses Danny, and often wonders what he'd be like if he lived. Her hardest day, besides the immediate aftermath, was her 6th birthday because that meant she was older than Danny (who was 5 when he died) would ever be.
6 year old Jazz had a very hard time.
Now, at 14, her main concerns are having to move to Gotham and leave her friends Sam and Tucker (not to mention the town she grew up in) behind. She spent the last half year in Gotham, but she thought she was going back to Amity Park
Unfortunately (or fortunately) for her, business is booming, and Vlad signed a contract with Wayne Enterprises that's slowly putting a certain evil billionaire out of business, and he needs to be in city. And she's 14, so she is, obviously, going with him.
Side note, Vlad grew up rich and in boarding schools. He had a Very Bad Time in boarding schools, so that's a no go for him. Also, his existence low-key revolves around his daughter, so he starts going a little canon-level crazy when he can't see her for at least an hour or two a week. (Thank you, Skype! She can enjoy summer camp as long as she has a reliable internet connection!)
Also: Jazz knows this. But her abandonment issues have abandonment issues, so she's totally fine with this: she gets to reassure herself that her only living parent is still (half) alive and healthy.
Also also: thanks to an unexpected vulture visit, she's known Vlad is a half ghost since she was 4.
The Plot Beggineth
Is Beggineth a word? I like it, so it is now.
She sneaks off to say a final goodbye to Fentonworks the week before they're supposed to leave, but Sam and Tucker have a feeling she would do that and follow her.
Most of this chapter would be somber, I think. Jazz visiting the Ops center, the kitchen, and every room to say a final goodbye because, tbh, she doesn't plan on going back here again at this point. She's finally ready to move on.
She tests the lock on the lab as always, and it's locked, but the hinges have rusted and pretty much falls over. Despite knowing how dangerous a maintained ghost lab is, she decends. A last goodbye to the ghosts who never, despite all the wishes and prayers, came to haunt her.
There's the wrecked Speeder, just as her dad found it years ago. The weapons cabinet, the lab tables. All untouched bexause her dad couldn't stand to be here either. She's about to leave when she trips over a Fenton Thermos and lands in the portal.
Despite being very careful standing up, she trips on a wire, and the fact her dad never shut off the power really bites her because she bumps the on button, and boom! Halfa!Jazz.
By this time, Sam and Tucker are there to see her death, and Vlad's not far behind since his wards were tripped when she entered. They're all a little too late.
Not only does the portal activation kill Jazz! It also acts as a beacon to a certain ghost who doesn't remember much, but knows his obsession lies on the other side of the door he can't cross. Until now.
Danny
Immediately recognizes Jazz, though not Vlad.
They don't recognize him either. He's had a multitude of ghost parents, so 4 arms (Pandora), horns (Frostbite), star maps on his skin (Clockwork), and- well, he looks like a neverborn.
Until he switches back, and he's the spitting image of Jack at that age. He knows things only Danny would know. VERY secretive blood tests prove that's Jazz's long (un)dead brother.
Jazz and Vlad are beyond excited to have him back, and so is he! Matter of fact, Vlad's a little confused at how such a gentle, kind boy (admittedly with a lot of sass) has (half) survived the GZ.
All that changes when Luthor does weird mind control on Superman to get revenge (not against Plasmius- he isn't in the know- but against Vlad, who is driving him out of business) (overkill much, Lexy?), and Danny takes him down in like...20 seconds.
Super speed? Well how does your super hearing like that Ghostly Wail? Super strength? Boy, he wrestles with the ghost of the Nemean Lion on the regular.
Lazer eyes? Frost breath. Catch two arms? Jokes on you, he's got 2 more and now you're in range.
Yeah. It's quick. Batman and the bats have to slow down CCTV footage to 1 FPS and it's still faster than the camera could track.
He always went by Phantom in the GZ, so that's his hero name! Vlad still tries to teach him- and learns a few tricks himself. They both teach Jazz.
Tim
With summer over, classes start again!
Immediately, Tim knows something is off. The new kid, Danny, is WAY too nice for Gotham. Yeah, he's sassy, but he'll also make friends with anybody!
Tim tries to teach him the ropes. This causes Danny to believe they're BFFs now, which Tim was NOT aiming for, he just didn't want the cinnamon roll to be murdered.
Only then Danny steps in with a school bully who Tim has just had to deal with because he can't reveal his combat training, and absolutely shreds the guy to pieces. Then, super friendly, gives Tim his backpack back and wants to know if Tim knows any good burger joints in the area.
Detective mode: activated! Tim (thinks he) figures out that this is a Jason Situation. He resolves to keep an eye out on Danny to see if he has superpowers or nah.
Tim: I'll hang around him until I figure him out. Danny: new friend!
Danny starts showing up randomly. A fight breaks out while he's supposed to be in class? Nope, Danny's right beside him kicking ass, but his teacher says he never left the room, and the footage he (ahem) aquired confirms it.
Tim starts making a list of powers and panicking because a meta like this might be able to slow down even Superman! He'd be far more frightened if he knew half of the stuff Danny could really pull.
The Batfam thinks Tim has a crush. There's a lot of 'you can tell us anything!' speeches, Kate reminds him she's lesbian and it's ok with everyone else for some reason, even Jason gets to the point where he's just: Tim. Listen. Bruce is like the only straight person here, and frankly nobody knows about Alfred. It's cool if you want to bring him home.
"He's a meta."
"I'll make an exception unless he hurts you."
Tim thinks: ok, meta is fine. Turn him into a hero! Bruce thinks: ok, going to meet my son's boyfriend soon!
This is, by the way, the while thing. Everyone (but Tim & sweet cinnamon roll Danny) thinks they're dating. It gets to the point where Bruce and Vlad start inviting eachother over for family dinners in the hopes that their sons will just fess up, already!
Everyone (but Tim, Jazz, and Vlad) thinks Danny is either normal, or a meta with some speed and strength enhancements.
Tim tries to explain how dangerous he really is? YES, Tim, we GET IT, Danny is AWESOME and has great hair, JESUS CHRIST.
Hilariously, Tim and Danny keep getting kidnapped, and everyone from the Batfam thinks Tim keeps somehow overpowering metas to rescue them. Ghostfam thinks Tim is now In The Know.
"Hey Mr. Masters-"
"Tim, please, it's Vlad."
"Uh. Vlad? How did Danny get superpowers?"
"Oh, he died."
"WhAt?!"
Phantom and Robin keep teaming up to rescue Jazz, who is doing her best not to show powers so Lex doesn't have a reason to clone her.
Phantom/Robin becomes a thing. Danny/Tim is still not. When they find out, both families are FURIOUS.
"DANIEL JAMES FENTON-MASTERS, WHY ARE YOU CHEATING ON YOUR BOYFRIEND?!"
"TIMOTHY DRAKE, GET DOWN HERE AND TELL ME WHY RED ROBIN WAS SEEN KISSING PHANTOM?!"
Tim starts hanging around the Fenton-Masters more because NOBODY believes he and Danny aren't dating! Danny does the opposite- and both figure out eachother's secret identities.
This leads to further problems because: ok, he likes Red Robin, but he clearly isn't interested in Tim Drake. Ok, he likes Phantom, but Danny probably annoys him.
Tim gets Unmasked by Disposable Henchman #4, and (after getting rid of the others), Danny, to even the score, shows that Phantom and Danny are the same person too.
This leads to further drama. You'd think everything was solved, wouldn't you? Nah. "Dad, please stop yelling at me. Tim IS Red Robin." "Oh, that's a load of licorice, Danny, you're grounded."
"Bruce, everybody- I'm tired of this, so here: Danny IS Phantom." "So now you're lying to your BF AND to us?!"
Finally, they unmask in front of each other's families. Problem solved, right? Right! Except Jazz is kidnapped now, and there's this new scary blue meta looking for a ghost kid, and- shit's complicated.
But that's (realistically) where I'd go with it- romantic comedy/ crouching tiger hidden dumbass style.
All in all:
Danny? Genius when it comes to fighting, the GZ, and math. Dumbass for anything else.
Tim? Genius when it comes to detective work, fighting, and breaking and entering. Dumbass when it comes to human interaction.
Danny AND Tim? Bisexual Disaster Squad for the win!

The 4☆TOWN Fam
So I think I accidentally described all their childhood traumas instead of just talking about their family life😅 BUT! oh well, now you guys get to see a little more about why they all are they way they are
Robaire Jean-Baptiste
- Robaire was born on March 25, 1978 to David and Fabiola Jean-Baptiste in Toronto, Canada
- His older sister, Christine, was born in 1970 and she’s always done whatever she could to look out for him
- Growing up in a traditional Haitian household should have favored Robaire, but he fell in love with singing and performing at a very young age
- that was not an acceptable career choice😅 so his parents constantly pushed him to pick something better to study (i.e. lawyer, doctor, engineer, architect)
- On top of that, his family moved to California when he was in third grade so he was in a completely new place and he didn’t know anyone
- Despite having such a big personality, his schoolmates thought of him as an other and were less than friendly
- Ironically he didn’t feel lonely, like he wanted more friends to share his music and ideas with but his head was too stuck in the clouds to notice how alone he really was
- But we all know Robaire isn’t a quitter and Christine is really good at pep talks, so with her support he tried out for theater and choir and kept trying to make friends
- He always had his eyes on the prize, being on a stage doing what he loves and sharing his talents even if in real life he was cast as a side character without roles and skipped over for choir solos
- But another thing we know about Robaire is that he likes praise & he likes to make people proud of him, and seeing his parents commend Christine for starting her own family and helping at their business made him feel like a disappointment
- (as if his father repeatedly telling him “music is no work for a man” didn’t do that already)
- his original plan was to make his own music and pursue a solo career straight after highschool but fear of being a financial burden and a complete disappointment as a son to his parents persuaded him to lower his bar and set his sights on interning at a record company while studying music (while double majoring in law)
- But fortunately you can’t take the dream out of the dreamer so it was pretty fateful he found the flier that offered him a gateway to his dream (and I want y’all to keep all this in mind when we get to Act II👀)
Jesse O’Neill
- Jesse was born on June 2, 1976 to two parents who could really care less that they were now parents
- He could never explain it, but he didn’t ever feel quite like he was connecting with either of them
- He has two younger brothers, Sean (born 1981) and Daniel aka Danny (born 1985)
- Their mom paid attention but she always did the bare minimum
- Their dad barely noticed them, but it was obvious he had favorites
- Sean was his least favorite because there was something “off” about him that he couldn’t explain, Jesse was next because he had potential but he wasted it on art, and Danny was his favorite because he was a sweet kid that always did whatever Ronan (the dad) asked
- Up until he was 7 years old and their mom (Giovanna) admitted Danny’s real dad was actually her childhood friend who was just KIA overseas and Ronan just completely ignored Danny’s existence after that
- Whatever relationship Ronan had with his two other kids just vanished after that because nothing matters more to them than their brother
- About a year later, Ronan passed and the boys’ relationship with Giovanna went down the drain too (especially Jesse)
- She went in hard on Jesse for bringing a black girl home to the family, said a lot of really awful things to both of them
- As soon as he started college, Jesse left. He lived on campus for a while until he and Selina could scrape together enough money for an apartment
- He didn’t mean to leave his brothers behind with their now far more aggressive mother, but she cut off ties with him as much as she could and with how much he couldn’t stand her, he played right into it by staying away
- The rest I will leave up to the future scenes to tell you😉
Aaron Zhao
- (this is gonna be so much fun I wrote an entire spin-off about his parents🤭)
- Z is the second born child of Bo Zhao and Ciara Zhao-Williams, born August 8, 1978
- His mother, Ciara, can be a little uptight and a bit blind to what’s going on with him but she’s also the one who taught him how to cook and how to dance and all that quality time made them very close
- His dad, Bo, is calmer and quieter for the most part but he always checks in with his kids and he’s the type of parent that always knows what to say
- We’re all familiar with his little sister, Olivia (1988), ten years younger than Z and a total Daddy’s girl😝 but he looks out for her and she always has his back (even if she doesn’t always show it)
- His brother Elijah (1972) is six years his senior and always left big shoes to fill
- Honestly so did their parents because both of them were top students in school, graduated with the highest honors, and his mom (with only one semester of formal college education due to getting pregnant) studied herself into a career as phlebotomist while raising Elijah
- And Elijah was just as good as them, picking up Mandarin better than his brother and getting great grades across the board
- Z was an average student, not great but not bad. His parents always tried to encourage him by saying he’d do better next time, but it didn’t really help because he wasn’t getting any better
- Elijah wasn’t the type of older brother to be a show-off either, he and Z were always close because he looked out for him and wanted to help him (but Z grew increasingly distant as they got older because he felt like Elijah’s shadow)
- Eventually Z found basketball and he got really good at it and his whole family was excited that he finally found his thing & his relationship with Elijah (briefly) improved because he no longer felt like he was living in his shadow
- And then it fell apart all over again when Elijah brought home the perfect girlfriend from college and (even though he didn’t know why yet) Z felt like no matter what he did he could never live up to the precedent his brother had set for him
- BUT we will soon see how the rest of their relationship unfolds😁
Aaron Mendez
- T was born in October 1979 to a very nervous but also excited 18 year old mother
- His biological father is some guy Catalina had a fling with that lived out of town (near her grandparents) and she never told him but she gave her son all the love in the world so he never felt like he was missing out
- Catalina gave up her dream of studying music and being on Broadway to be a mom but music was still something they shared
- Even with only two of them there was never a quiet moment, there was always games to be played and songs to be sung
- Catalina actually learned to cook as she was raising T and she would always include him because he liked to be helpful (except she got better at cooking and he got worse)
- Even though he loved having his mom as his best friend (and the extra love he got from his grandparents and great-grandparents) he didn’t have many friends because he was a brainiac (plus he was really young when he figured out he was gay so he felt a little isolated from everyone else)
- And since his mom was a single parent money was usually tight, but she would always take extra shifts to pay for his school tuition (he went to private school because he was really smart and she wanted to make sure he was appropriately challenged)
- He spent so many nights with his grandparents, no cousins or friends, just two old people (whom he loved dearly) but no one to play with
- All his time being on his own made him very self-reliant so he hardly ever needed to lean on anyone, except that makes it hard for him to ask anyone for help even when he needs it
- Catalina was very aware of this and she knew he needed kids his own age to be around so she sent him to summer camp in 1991 so he could be super active and have lots of opportunities to find things in common with other kids outside of a school setting
- And what he found he liked doing most was being a big brother to some poor, lonely kid he found in the woods (yes it’s Taeyoung, i know you all remember)
- Having Taeyoung was very good for him of course because he finally had another kid to be around but it also made his self-reliance issue worse because he knew he needed to be there for Tae so he developed a habit of hiding and discounting his own struggles to maintain his strong older brother persona (someone get this kid some therapy)
- A little funny how out of the 5 members some might say he had the least (a single mom, no siblings, not a lot of money) but he still had the most fulfilling childhood🫶🏾 (still needs therapy though)
Na Taeyoung
- sigh
- Taeyoung’s life has been complicated since the day he was born
- He mostly tells people it’s ironic that he was born on Valentine’s Day (1983) because he’s aroace, but sometimes his birthday can feel like a curse
- His parents have always had a very healthy, loving relationship but that left less room for Taeyoung in their world
- Dasom dotes on him and cares for him to the point where sometimes Taeyoung forgets how she can be, but even as a child she wouldn’t hesitate to drop everything, including him, to be with her husband
- Taeyoung and Jihun are practically strangers, no matter how hard Taeyoung tries to get his father’s attention he never can
- Being an only child to parents with demanding jobs who pay more attention to each other than to him turned Taeyoung into a very isolated kid
- He didn’t know how to talk or play with other children and since he’s first generation American some kids couldn’t look past the differences in their culture
- Back then, the his only friends were animals, especially the birds that sat near his bedroom window. He knew the names and faces of every neighborhood dog, alley cat, and bird that came by, he even knew the park ducks and swans by name
- His parents sent him to camp in 1991 pretty much to get rid of him so they could be a childless couple again and that was the first time Taeyoung connected with other kids
- He initially tried to be friends with his cabin mates but he was smaller and slower than everyone else so they often left him behind, but of course that’s how he met T and gained a little light in his lonely world
- Taeyoung grew into a totally different kid after they met, he was talkative, playful, mischievous, charming and with a little guidance from his new brother it wasn’t so hard to make friends anymore
- so behind his innocent looking face is the evil grin of a menace, but behind even that is the same sad lonely kid afraid of losing everything he gained since he met T

Okay so I just got this random fic idea and I’m literally obsessed with it tbh.
So imagine, after whatever happens in season five, the Fruity Four moves in together. Okay? Idk where they’ll like.. go or anything, but I do know that they move in together. Eddie, Robin, Nancy, and Steve.
It’s a decent sized apartment, four tiny bedrooms, one bathroom that they all fight over on a daily basis, and they’re all doing something with their lives. All four of them got into college, so there’s that. And to be able to pay rent n shit, and pay for student loans or whatever, all of them are working when they aren’t doing school.
So that’s just the basics of what their lives are like now that they’re all living together. But here’s the important part.
Steve, mister I definitely like girls has this crisis, where he thinks he’s developing a crush on Eddie, so, now at the age of 21, he hits the bars. He wakes up the next morning in this girl’s apartment, only catches one single glimpse of her face, and then runs right out of there.
Things for the Fruity Four are normal for a few months, until this same girl shows up at their doorstep with a baby carrier. Steve recognizes this girl from a few months back, when he ran out of her apartment. Her name’s Linda, and she explains that she was a virgin until that night, being her 21st birthday, the night she had always planned on losing her virginity. It wasn’t until about two days after that she found out she was pregnant. Turns out, her parents won’t pay for her college tuition if she keeps the baby, so she needs to figure out what to do with it. What better thing to do than leave it with the father, right?
It takes some convincing, but Steve takes the baby and decides he’s going to try and juggle school and his parenting duties. How hard could it be? He had enough experience with children in the past (The Party).
It is the most difficult thing he has ever had to do, literally. This baby makes things so incredibly difficult, that none of the people in the apartment can get any normal amount of sleep ever. The others told Steve that they’d help him, but the baby was still his responsibility and he was the parent. Don’t get them wrong, though, this little demon grows on them and they love it with all their hearts after like a week. Steve does too, don’t worry.
After realizing that it’s very difficult being a single parent, Eddie decides he’s gonna step in and help his friend. Be a co-parent.
Through helping each other take care of this tiny human being, Steve and Eddie’s friendship develops into something much more. It starts a little after Steve finds Eddie singing the baby to sleep a few times.
His favorite song to sing it to sleep is Danny’s Song by Loggins and Messina.
Eddie starts to slowly consider this baby as his own after Steve confirms it okay with him. And when I say that Munson is a little too excited when he hears that Steve thinks of him as the baby’s other parent, I’m not over exaggerating.
It takes like a year before they really become official. But by then, it was obvious that they’d get together sooner or later. It took Ronance less time to become a thing.
The Party immediately begins to accept the baby as like, a little sibling, or a niece/nephew. By the time it’s old enough to understand the English language, every one of the Party Members are trying to teach her/him different things.
Whatever Mike says goes in one ear and comes out the other. Mostly because Max always taught them not to listen to whatever Mike had to say. Whether it was something good or bad, this kid just doesn’t listen to Mike. Ever.
Will makes sure that they’re accepted no matter what. It doesn’t matter to him what they wanna be, who they wanna love, or what they wanna do, he just makes sure that as long as they aren’t killing people or committing crimes, that they know he’s there for them.
Dustin, along with Eddie, start teaching them how to play D&D at the ripe age of two years old. But it doesn’t matter what age they are, they always love to show up to Hellfire campaigns and watch in curiosity.
Lucas tells them some of the best stories. They enjoy them, and thankfully never question any of the logic behind his stories. Most of them are based off of what happened in Hawkins, but since everything was fixed and nobody died, it’s as if none of it happened.
The kid is always asking El to show them more of her powers, absolutely mesmerized by it every single time. El finds it adorable and can never say no to them.
I literally live for this idea and can’t get enough of it, like ugh, Steddie going from co-parents to being together as parents is adorable. The Party loving this child with every inch in their bodies also makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. I love this so much but I don’t have the energy to make a fic 😭 please someone turn it into one.

You will remember my name
      Part 2 of Ember
A/N: Hello everyone! I’m so stoked y’all liked my first fic! I really appreciate all the love and support you guys have no idea. (This might have to stretch to three chapters lol)
Tony Stark X daughter!reader
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tonys pov
A tense silence filled the halls of the Avengers tower. It’s been a week since Y/N left the tower in tears. It’s been two days since anyone has seen the girl to think of it.  The first few days it was thought the girl was just staying with a friend while she cooled off. But after the third day, a bad feeling settled in the stomachs of the heros. By the fourth day, they asked some of Y/Ns closest friends. 
No one has seen her.
Pepper called her aunt, Pamela Isely, but the women said that the last time she spoke to her god daughter was a week before this whole mess happened. 
By the time the week was over, it was concluded that Y/N Stark was missing. 
Tony Stark was not a perfect father. He knew that, of course he knew. I mean, he didn’t exactly have the positive male role models growing up other than Jarvis. He knew he wasn’t going to be a perfect father. He just never thought he’d screw up this badly.
He found out he had a daughter four months after the Battle of New York. He had gotten the news that an old fling of his had died during the attack. leaving behind a daughter. Feeling bad for the kid, he began to set up a college fund for her, as he knew what it was like to lose someone in a tragic way. At first he thought nothing of it, just simply seeing it as a good deed. But then one night, during one of his restless nights, he began doing the math and figured out that the age of the girl was just about nine months off from when he had...met her mother. Needless to say Pepper was shocked when she woke up to Tony passing out.
After a few minutes of being yelled at by Pepper and another hour of coming to terms with this discovery, Tony made plans to find the girl.

Y/n pov
After explaining your situation with your father to the boy, you realize that you still didn’t know his name. Turning to him you ask for it. 
“Oh, my name is Daniel, Daniel Winston.”  You snort as you realize the irony of this ghost boys name. 
“You mean to tell me that your name is Daniel, and you’re a ghost with white hair??” He glares at you for a second then a small smile creeps on his face, “Well, despite the circumstances, it is kinda funny.”  You hum in agreement and let a comfortable silence take over as you try and figure out where you are and if you’re even in New York.
“Hey Danny?” You ask, “Where are you from?”  
“Bludhaven, I was walking home from school when I was taken. Why do you ask?” 
“Because” You reply,” I was taken from New York.” A heavy silence falls over you both as you realize that you’re both unfamiliar with your surroundings. There weren’t any markings to indicate where you were. The base was nestled in a corner of abandoned buildings that looked like factories. The sky was dark and you couldn’t see any stars. There was a strange scent in the air that you chalked up to air pollution. You both continue walking when you see a building with its lights on. 
“Danny, that’s the only building so far that has any lights, we should go check it out.” He looked hesitant, and he wasn’t wrong to be. The building was an old shoe factory, it was dark and looked as if a sneeze could take the whole thing down. Whoever was in there probably wasn’t good company.
“ Are you sure you want to go in there?’ Danny's voice full of doubt, “Maybe we should keep going till we actually get into town.” While his idea was the more logical one, you were starting to get tired, blowing up a building with freaky ghost powers takes a lot out a a young girl.
“I think we should go, I need to rest up and we don’t know how far the town will be. We don’t even know what town this is.” And with that, you start to make your way to the building, a hesitant ghost trailing behind you.

Tony's POV
Tony realizes locking himself up in his lab really isn’t going to help find his missing daughter. He just can’t believe he screwed up this badly. His own child, thought she wasn’t loved. He did that to her. A rage filled his body as he angrily swept everything off his work table. The clatter of wrenches and pens filled his ears as he stared at the wall.
The sound of the door opening caught his attention. He turned to see Steve Rogers walking in with a box of chinese food and a stern face. Quietly, the blond man took a look at the state of the lab, shook his head and placed the food on the table.
“We picked straws to decide which one of us had to come convince you to come out.” Steve said breaking the silence between the two men. Tony said nothing as he continued to look at the wall.
“You know, you have some nerve to lock yourself away.” Tony jerked his head over and stared at the man . “ What did you just say?” 
“You damn well heard what I said.’ Steve shot back. “ Your daughter is missing. She disappeared into thin air. And you’re in here doing what? Throwing your tools around?” 
“Are you going to lecture me?” Tony said in a bored voice.” Because of you are, i want to take notes” 
“You know this is your problem. You don’t care.” Steve said angrily. “ You don’t care that your daughter is missing. You don’t care that for eight years, the longest conversation you’ve had with her was when you were introducing her to this team.” Steve stood up from the table and walked back to the door before Tony could say anything. “It’s been a week Tony. She’s been missing for a week.  We need to find her.” He walked out without another word.
And again, Tony was alone. Alone with his thoughts, and alone with his regrets. Then he realizes, if he wants a chance to make up all those years, he’s going to need to find you first.  
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Y/n POV:
Getting into the factory wasn’t too hard, considering you can just walk through walls now. The real hard part finding someone to help, as there was no one in the building. In fact, the only living thing in the factory was the surprising amount of vines and greenery over taking the space. 
“hey, Y/n.. maybe we shouldn’t be here...” Danny whispered, ‘” this place is creeping me out.” 
“D, you don’t have to whisper, I’m the only one who can hear you.”
 You answer as you look around, the room you were in seemed like an office of some sort. Then you noticed something.
“Danny, those vines...they lead out of the room” 
And with that you start walking towards the door, but before you can make it you hear loud voices, two women from what you can tell. 
“....mmy you can’t keep doing this to yourself....”
“i....never let her go with him....”
You can’t hear what they’re saying, you take a step forward and accidently step on a vine. 
“wait...there's someone here.” 
Oh shit. You look at Danny in surprise as there was no way these people would have known you were here.
Then suddenly, the room of plants came to life. Vines started thrashing around, searching for the intruder. 
“WHAT THE FUCK” Danny yelled as a vine goes through is body. “Y/N lets get out of here!” In your panic, you forget you can literally turn into a ghost, so you look for a window to get out of. Before you can climb, a vine suddenly wraps around your leg and pulls you out of the room.
“Y/N!!” 
You thrash as you are pulled down the hallway, around corners, and painfully down stairs. You scratch at the floor, desperate to find something to cut the vines.  Then your eyes start glowing. Your skin melting to a pale blue. You blast through the plant as you start floating upwards. You shoot the plants around you with a blue mist like energy.
“What is that?” “Aye whatta you doing here?”  Wait. You know that voice.
Looking up, you get distracted and a vine wraps around your body, restricting your movement. You struggle for a while till you hear it. 
“Y/N?” You stop and look up. You change back to your normal appearance, shocked.
“Aunt Pam?!”
`````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
TONY’S POV
After Steves not lecture, Tony got to work. He had FRIDAY look for anything suspicious in and near New York. By doing that, he found out that there has been an influx of missing people ranging from ages twenty to fifteen. They were going missing from three specific cities: Bludhaven, Gotham, and...New York. Seeing this had Tony's heart sink. He ran into the conference room where the rest of the team was conducting their own investigation. But before he entered, he stopped to listen to the teams conversation.
“How can she just...disappear into thin air..” Sam said in a sad voice. The rest of the team sat in silence. 
“Maybe we missed something. There has to be something there.” Natasha said with a desperation no on has heard from her. “It’s been a week Steve, she wouldn’t just leave like that.” And that when Tony decided to make his presence known.
“Maybe she didn’t” He said making everyone jump, “There has been an increase in missing person cases in the cities of Gotham, Bludhaven, and New York. All around the same age as Y/N.”
“So,you’ve decided to step up” Clint said sarcastically. “Where have you been this past week Stark?”
“ Look I know I haven’t been the best parent” Tony said.
“that’s an understatement”, grumbled Clint.
“I love my daughter. I hate the thought of her not knowing that.” Tony finished looking around the room to see the disapproval of the team.
“Fighting isn’t going to find her.” Wanda said quietly. “We need to work together.”
“Wandas right.” Steve said, “FRIDAY ,can you find any abnormal activity in any of the cities?”
“I did a widespread search specifically in the Gotham bludhaven and New York areas. A building in the indrustrial area in Gotham spontaneously collapsed. When authorities searched through the rubble, they found bodies of thirty out of the ninety reported missing people.”
“Was there anyone matching Y/N description,” asked Natasha anxiously.
“FRIDAY bring up the missing kids files”
A long minute went by, and all the files uploaded. The Avengers were all on edge as they flipped through the thirty files. They were relieved when they realized that Y/n was not part of those thirty kids.
