Plain Sight part 4
@sir-ghost-the-green @blankliferain @catthestampede @elliesalien @wanderwithwings @bianca-hooks123
P1 p2 p3
Tim has a kid
He has a kid
Tim was sitting on the couch trying to process every thing that Jason just said. There is a kid one room over that he had a hand in creating. A little girl named Elle that he had no idea about.
Tim can tell that Jason's expecting him to tell him that she's part of some sort of genetic experiment or a one-night stand but honestly the second he heard that she was four he knew exactly who the mom was. She was made from stupid teen love and the feeling of being on top of the world.
Tim remembers Danny quite well. 
He had no idea that they were involved in any of this and honestly Tim's a little scared that it's their fault. He knows that Danny had a mad scientist parents but Danny was never into that sort of thing. Tim remembers the scars that Danny had said were from malfunctioning weapons and hates himself a little bit for the fact that he left him alone.
The news that Danny's related to Damien is entirely another thing. Danny might not just be his fault and he should probably stop throwing himself into self-deprecation. Tim knows Danny had no idea. Danny was adopted; he told himself.
“ Are you okay there, replacement?”  Jason asks in a softer tone that he usually uses. probably being able to tell that Tim's on the edge of a breakdown.
“You just told me that I have a kid, we have no idea where the mom is and that we have no idea what could be after them.” Tim takes a few deep breaths knowing it isn't Jason's fault.
“you got any idea who the mom might be or is this a Superboy situation”
“this is more of a Damien situation”
“oh was not expecting that out of you” Jason seemed to pause for a moment clearly not expecting that answer.
 “yeah”  Tim really didn't know what to say. this had not been how he expected the night to go. “I didn't expect it either”
“You know who Dahlia is or at least whoever the hell her name is because I can tell from her file that's definitely not their real name.” Jason said, obviously trying to change the subject from feelings to something with an actual answer.
“ Danny”  Tim takes a deep breath before saying the rest having not heard their name even out of their own mouth in years.”Danny Fenton” 
 “this a nightlife situation?” Tim can tell Jason is trying to be nice about everything's going on but the bat need to know everything is certainly strong and all of them.
 “no”  Tim remembers meeting Danny with a weird amount of clarity that he probably shouldn't. “Actually surprisingly enough, I met a cute boy at a Wayne Enterprises sponsored party and got his number.”
 “you didn't stay in touch?” Jason said obviously thinking there was more to the story. He would be correct. 
“ I certainly stayed in touch for the next year until Bruce was gone and a relationship was not something I was able to do.” the answer would get out eventually especially if they did the math. Danny and Tim did not part on the best terms but Tim likes to think if they met again there wouldn't be too much bad blood.
“ oh that would certainly be a reason“
They sit there in silence for a while before Jason speaks up again.
“you going to meet her” Jason gets up from his chair and makes a move to pick up their cups. 
“What”
“you going to stay till you wake up or am I going to have to schedule a meeting in your CEO schedule” Jason said, trying to make it clear he was ok with ether option.
 “no” Tim thinks for a moment. On one hand being able to plan it out would be great, on the other he can't bring himself to move. “I'm going to stay here”
“then that settles it” Jason makes a move towards the kitchen with both their cups in hand. “want more tea?”
 “you sound like Alfred,” Tim says, giggling a little bit thinking about how absurd the situation is.
 “Well, I certainly didn't learn hospitality from the old man.”
  “sure I'll take more tea”

hey i get as writes, sometimes we tend to write things that inspire us. sometimes, that means trends take over our collective trains of thoughts, and you get a big boom in a certain kind of trope. that’s just how supply/demand/fandom has always worked. all fandoms. even Danny Phantom (ei. dissection/vissection fics)
while there’s nothing wrong with this, it’s short sighted to look at any fandom and say they only write one type of fic. in fact, it’s rather rude and devaluing of creators hard work, hence why this post and the replies are getting such avid push back.
(side note: while this is very fair and valid reaction of us to be upset, op has apologized and i personally understand someone just throwing something online and not expecting people to take it badly. please don’t respond to my reply with negativity, i just want to take the moment to spread some information for people genuinely confused/curious.)
but in the case that someone genuinely doesn’t know about fics outside of the beloved adoption trope, here are some that are unique in concept and execution!!!
(links are in blue text 🤗)
Recognized
a Young Justice Cartoon crossover from long before the time dpxdc got popular. it’s witty and fun and has a twist a literally every corner. it’s a work of genius that is so unique in concept and execution. by @agentianlegend
Our Love Will Last Us
a tragic romance between Danielle and Mar’i Grayson, there’s character death so read the tags!! by @precarious-hermit
If You Give a Bat a Burger
a mystery that’ll have you on the edge of your seat with amazing characterizations, and just overall amazing writing. by @noir-renard
Life Goals
an older series that was written before dpxdc got big!!! it’s just some one shots but they’re written really well and have a really fun premise of dc superheroes ending up in amity. by RandomFlyer on ao3
Raising Phantom
a de-aged Danny fic where Jazz is raising him in gotham. It’s so much fun to read and the characterization of Jazz is so good. by @impyssadobsessions
{if i could put time} in a bottle
an angst filled one-shot that deals with time loops and death. it’s written so well, and the combination of main characters is very unique. by @stars-burn
The Rebirth of Tim Drake
a Danny/Tim story where Tim becomes a halfa! It’s equal parts fun and heartbreaking. by @bewitched-forest
Cold hands, sharpe smiles
a series that centers around a newly turned Vampire Dick Grayson trying to navigate being undead and his crush on his friend Danny, the half ghost. it’s suck an underrated fic that’s absolutely gut wreaking and heartwarming. do be sure to read that tags as it deals with serious themes!!! by @half-dead-ham
Lance through a Kryptonian Heart
a one-shot done for ship week with the pairing Mr. Lancer/Clark Kent. i know it sounds crazy but just trust me, it’s amazing. by @gremlin-bot
Can’t help falling in love (with you)
An adorable accidental marriage fic that feature a queer platonic Jazz/Jason as they’re both aroace!!! it’s so cute and really great representation. by @gilbirda
Him & I
a series about Jazz becoming a mercenary after the death of her brother at the hands of her parents. it’s a wonderful exploration of grief and healing, as well as having a different take on Jazz Fenton/Jason Todd. by @gilbirda
Weltschmerz
a fic im helping co write that is so different than anything i’ve ever done, or even seen. it’s got urban fantasy, mystery, fun ships, and off the walls world building. by @gremlin-bot, @half-dead-ham, @bewitched-forest, and myself, @spite-sapphic-starlight
Life or Death you’re in my world, and it’s Life or Death to be my girl
an NSFW fic also written by me that is very different from most things about there. it’s Kara Zor-El/Dan and it’s based on the song Final Girl by Graveyardguy ft. Slayyyter/the inherit sexual tension of the final girl trope. for the love of all things, PLEASE READ THE TAGS. by myself, @spite-sapphic-starlight
is there somewhere i can find cool new fics?
yes!!! please check out this Ao3 Parent Collection that hosts ALL BATPHAM SERVER EVENT AO3 COLLECTIONS. there you can easily find fun new fics that probably flew under your radar
happy reading!!! 🥰💕💗
Not to like. Dig at the Phans or anything. But can we please start making content not related to DC? Like it was fun at first, but honestly I care more about the canon Danny Phantom characters than any DC character like. Ever. And it’s in everything, so like I’ll be reading a post and think it’s funny then BOOM! Nightwing/Robbin/anyone in the bat fam (a term I have learned against my will) and instantly I don’t care anymore. Believe me, I’ve tried to avoid it, and tried to find other content not related to it. But I mean it when I say it’s in literally everything.
Yes, this is a me problem, but it sure is a problem for me.

OP I think you accidentally singlehandedly summoned most of the DP fans with your two posts, which is both amazing yet also understandably overwhelming. How are you taking this? What's your favorite fic that you've read so far?
Thank you for asking! I've been kind of overwhelmed, but in a good way? I have never had a post take off like that before. This is like the most crazy supportive fandom I've ever seen.
And I have read so many dang fics it's hard to choose one. My very favorites tend to be small semi-demi-hemi AUs where someone just puts a little one-page wild idea out there, like "What if a ghost thought Tucker was Phantom?" or "What if there was a ghost alien?" People get crazy creative with those.
My favorite longer fic I've read so far is the "Something's Wrong With Danny Fenton" series, because I'm in love with horror stories and I think it's adorable when the kids all have cute teen crushes on each other.
(Before anyone asks, I have A Snapping Sound, Phantom of Truth, and Mortified on my to-read list but I haven't read them yet. I, uh...I'm slightly terrified by the size of some of these.)
My favorite fic/comic series is @artistfingers's Undercover Phantom AU! That's actually kind of what started my Phandom deep dive. Well, that and @the-stove-is-on-fire's Danny Phantom/Spiderman/Deadpool comics. They just kept on popping up on my dash over and over until I was like "okay, interest reawakened, my next thing is Danny Phantom now I guess"

Just watched Jordan Peele's Nope.
Nope is about exploitation.
Nope is about how Hollywood chews up everyone involved in it.
Nope is about racism.
Nope is about UFOs.
Nope is not about UFOs.
Nope is about why you don't work with chimpanzee co-stars.
Nope is about being eaten alive figuratively, by your passions, by your history, by trying to reclaim lost glory, by an audience that only ever wants more and is never satisfied.
Nope is about being eaten alive literally, really slowly, and you're awake and screaming the whole time.
Nope is about how you can never really tame a wild animal.
Nope is about how you can absolutely tame a wild animal.
(No you can't) (But you sort of can)
Nope is about the world's most stupidly dramatic recitation of "Flying Purple People Eater," but you suddenly realize that it's scaring you.
Nope is about why you don't let your heavily autistic-coded brother do the public speaking.
Nope is about why you don't let your sister have the aux.
Nope is about being forcibly adopted by a young adult conspiracy theorist who just got out of a four-year relationship and really needs you guys right now, okay? He hacked your cameras, please don't be mad. Wanna play video games?
Most importantly, Nope is about scaring me so fucking bad that I didn't even realize until the movie was over that I had turned my popcorn bucket into this:

My #1 post of 2022
Okay so it turns out that Danny Phantom was the worst possible old show to get a sudden and inexplicable hyperfixation on, because apparently the fandom's been going full tilt since 2004.
Usually when I get a hyperfixation outta nowhere for a completed series, I spend a week, maybe two going through old fanfiction and fanart, and then I burn through what's left, and then I'm done.
Danny Phantom has a pile of fanfiction and fanart that's been growing steadily since, and I cannot emphasize this enough, 2004, and there are still people putting out multiple things every single day. I'm already like 20 AUs in and I've been up till 2:00am every single night this week because I've found a new enormous fascinating fanfic that was so good I could not physically make myself sleep until I finished it.
Help?

Stars Aligned Chapter 2
Here’s the thing.  Danny knew this was a dumb decision.  At least as dumb as stepping into the ghost portal (but at least he’d gotten some nifty powers out of that, hey?).  Whatever reason his bio-dad had for chucking him out the door within days of his birth couldn’t be good.  Putting himself within reach of the man…  Yeah.  Not his brightest thought.  
(Not to mention the wizards.  And witches.  That was so weird, how they had two different names for essentially the same thing. Then again… actor, actress…  Why were people so weird?)
On the other hand, twin brother.  Twin brother who had to live with aforementioned baby-abandoning bio-dad.  Twin brother who wasn’t allowed to visit America.  Or, Danny suspected, a family of squibs.  
Yeah.  
Yeah.  
So, here he was.  Getting everything in order for a wizard passport and wizard international travel, because bio-family refused to even look at an airport.  
Danny had a suspicion that, based on how they spelled the word and a few other comments in that particular letter, that they weren’t entirely clear on what an airport was.  
Fun.  
On the other hand, in comparison to the actual, normal, legal passport he’d gotten, just in case bio-family left him somewhere, wizard passports were much, much easier to get.  The wait times were practically nonexistent.  He could, in theory, get the passport on the same day he traveled.  All that was needed was proof he was a wizard and his adoption papers.  
Of course, ‘proof he was a wizard’ actually meant ‘wand.’  Wands being something they used as personal ID, despite the fact that they were a) sticks, and b) didn’t actually carry any personally identifiable information.  Sure, Jack said that they were somehow connected to their owners, but unless there were, like, giant books of details about everyone’s wands at every place that would, conceivably, need ID, and had people trained to identify all those tiny little characteristics…  Danny just couldn’t see how it would work.
Danny’s current theory was that all wizards were just insane, which meant that his twin would most likely fit right in with the rest of Danny’s family, right as soon as Danny figured out how to legally kidnap him.
(No, Danny didn’t have a ghostly Obsession, and it definitely wasn’t family related.  He was only half-ghost, after all.  Why do you ask?)
Anyway.  Wizard passport.  Wizard ID. Wizard sticks.  
Wands.  
Wands meant a nerve-wracking trip to the nearest wizarding town with Jack.  Evidently, he’d lived there a couple of years after his parents sent him away from Britain when he was around fourteen because of ‘the war.’
Abruptly, many of Jack’s stories about his childhood made more sense.
(It had always been something of a joke between Jazz and Danny to try and figure out what ‘the war’ was supposed to be, and if Jack’s parents had just… Conned him into thinking he’d eaten horse meat.  For some reason.  Even if the Fentons hadn’t seemed like that kind of people, no matter how eccentric.)
(Also, evidently Jazz and Danny had never met Jack’s biological parents, who were not named Fenton, although his adopted mother was also a witch.)
(Why was everything so complicated?)
 The “wizarding community” was a small town accessible only by a train line invisible to ‘no-majs.’  And also flying brooms.  Which wizards used.  Danny had seen the train before, not realizing that he wasn’t supposed to. Several times.  Usually while flying to Wisconsin to deal with whatever Vlad had done that week.  
If Danny was a wizard, was Vlad?  Was being half-ghost somehow tied up in being magical? What did that mean for Dani?
(Hey, maybe this whole affair could be used to bring Dani into the family safely.  Who was to say that he didn’t have a secret twin sister?)
Danny could admit that the town itself, which had almost a Ghost Zone vibe with how all the architecture seemed to be from fifty plus to a hundred years ago and also the physics breaking magic, was sort of cool. It was… cute, he guessed.  He didn’t really like how everyone was staring at Jack, their clothes were just as weird, but it wasn’t a new thing.  People always stared at Jack.  
That’s what happened when you wore hazard-orange jumpsuits twenty-four seven.  
The shops all had names out of a fantasy novel, and at one point they got turned around and wound up on a residential street where they had to ask for directions, but eventually they made it to ‘Willoughby’s Wand Emporium.’
The interior of Willoughby’s Wand Emporium reminded Danny strongly of a shoe store.  The shelves were all lined with boxes of approximately that size, and the employees all carried measuring tape.  It also smelled like a shoe store: musty and dry, with a hint of polish.  Or maybe it was wood varnish?  Or some kind of paint.  
A young woman bounced up.  “Hi, how can we help you today?  Replacement wand?”
“First time, actually,” said Jack.  
“Oh, I’m sorry,” said the woman.  “You’re just so tall for your age.”
“I’m fourteen,” said Danny.  
The woman began to turn red.
“He was missed,” said Jack.  “It happens.”  He smiled, but it looked far more strained than usual.  
“Oh,” said the woman.  “Ahem.  Well, if you’ll come right this way, I can start taking measurements, and start trying out wands.  The wand chooses the wizard, they say!”
“Okay,” said Danny, shrugging.  That was… interesting.  Were the wands sentient?  Did that somehow make them acceptable IDs?
Seemed really weird to keep sentient things stored in boxes.
… Said the kid who stored sentient beings in a soup thermos.
A really high-tech soup thermos.
Didn’t make it better.  
Except he didn’t keep them in the thermos indefinitely.  Except for Dan.  
Danny didn’t know if the wizards kept the wands in boxes indefinitely, either.  Maybe he should stop assuming things.  That had gotten him in trouble with ghosts more than once.
The woman took her measuring tape from where it hung around her shoulders, held it out in front of herself, and promptly dropped it. It did not fall.  
As basic as levitation was for ghosts, it was really weird to see a human do it.  (Especially when it always took so much concentration for him to levitate things other than himself—Hence why he never really used the ability in battle.)
The measuring tape flitted around Danny’s head, shoulders, arms, and body, taking measurements.  He had to sit on his reflexes hard to prevent himself from trying to catch it or knock it out of the air.  
He was so nervous.  Was it normal to be nervous?
The measuring tape snaked back through the air to the woman, who smiled.  “Alright,” she said, “we can start with that.  Uh, to explain the process, we usually start out with wands in the appropriate size range and try and zero in on the ones that respond best to you from there.”  She flicked her own wand, and several thin boxes slid themselves off the shelves.  “We use a wide variety of wand woods from a variety of wandmakers.  Just about any tree that grows in North America is probably represented here.” She paused.  “Except for palm trees.”
“That makes sense,” said Danny.  Palm trees were quite different from other trees.  
“Alright.  Let’s start with pine.  The core of this one is dragon heartstring—Harvested humanely, of course!”
“Core?” said Danny, latching on to the familiar word even as he regarded the wand itself dubiously.  
“Yes.  As with our woods, we also stock a wide range of wand cores.  Each wand has a core made of a small part of a magical creature.  Dragon heartstring, unicorn hair, and phoenix feather are the standard ones…  But that standardization is rather British.  We have a few others available.  Thunderbird tail feather—Only taken during molt.  Wampus cat hair.  Dittany. Rougarou hair.  Jackalope antler…  Those are the more common ones, though we do have others.  Even some kneazle whisker, although most people don’t want those.”
“Why not?”
“Ah, they tend not to be very strong.  But sheer power isn’t everything.  Some prefer control, need lower power output…  or are worried about accidents while they’re learning.  We do see some adult learners every now and then.”
That actually sounded sort of appealing to Danny, but he supposed he’d better go about this normally.  At least at first.  
He picked up the pine wand and immediately dropped it.  
“Ow,” he said.  
“Ow?” repeated the woman.  “Oh,” she said, catching sight of the burn on his hand.  “That’s… not supposed to happen.”
“Y’know,” said Danny, conversationally, “I’ve only held, like, two magical things in my life, and both of them have damaged my hands. Is this, like, a common thing, or am I just ridiculously unlucky.”
“Second one, I think,” said the woman.  “Cynthia’s good at minor healing charms.  I’m going to go get her.  Okay?  Okay.”
Shortly thereafter, phoenix feather wands were also eliminated as a possibility, not because they burned Danny, but because they seemed intent on burning everything else around him.  Pine wands were also a definite no-go (“Don’t worry about the lifespan thing,” said the woman, “that’s a myth.”).  As was everything but elder, apple, pear, hornbeam, thorn, and yew (this list got another mention of myths from the shop assistant).  
At this point, the shop owner, Mrs. Willoughby, was drawn out from the back room to observe the mess Danny was making.  
“My,” she said, “I haven’t seen anyone have this much trouble in a while.  Heather, why don’t you go get some of the specialty cores.”
“I thought the unicorn was working well,” protested the woman who’d been helping Danny so far.  She winced as Danny picked up a new wand and exploded a light.  “Comparatively.”
“Yes, we could probably eventually find a unicorn hair wand that would work for him, but all things considered…  I feel like we should explore other avenues.”  She sniffed.  “Nothing associated with fire.  Perhaps kelpie mane?”
“I’ll check,” said Heather.  
.
Kelpie mane, it turned out, did the same sort of thing as phoenix tail feather when it came to Danny.  Only with a lot more water involved.  
“I didn’t think that would work, anyway,” said Mrs. Willoughby.
“Then why,” said Danny, wringing water out of his shirt, “did you have me try it?”
“Oh, cases like you greatly improve our understanding of wandlore,” said Mrs. Willoughby.  “You’re not likely to have noticed this yet, but the population of wizards and witches is so small compared to the no-maj population that everyone who gets very far in a profession has to be a bit of an innovator.  I’m recording this for future reference, and I’ll be looking forward to seeing what you do in life.  If anything.  It would be very helpful to me if you became famous.”
“Hard pass on that,” said Danny.  
“Or at least come back at some point.”
“I’ll consider it,” said Danny.  “But, like, we were really hoping to do other things today, so maybe…”  He made a circular motion with his hand.  “Or at least, ugh, I don’t know.  I feel like everything you give me is trying to kill me.”
It was a very familiar feeling, and a very unwelcome one, nonetheless.  
“We really aren’t,” said Mrs. Willoughby.  “But perhaps… from now on, we’ll limit to the woods to the Rosaceaes.  The others tend to be called unlucky.  Well, except for the hornbeam.  Is there anything you’re singularly passionate about?”
Singularly passionate?  “Not really,” said Danny, who did not think about ghosts or helping people or space. He shifted, uncomfortable, and squelched.  
Screw it.  He was supposedly a wizard, now, right?
He phased the water off himself.  
“Oh my god!” shouted Heather.  “Did you do that on purpose?”
“Uh,” said Danny.  “No?”
“Calm down, Heather.  Don’t act like you’ve never seen accidental magic before.”
“Not with a teenager doing it!”
They were now attracting a crowd.  Yay.  
“He’s not trained, yet,” said Mrs. Willoughby, unconcerned.  “Don’t be rude.”
“Yeah, can we get back on track, here?”
After a few more tries, Mrs. Willoughby had determined that the wood that reacted the least badly to Danny was hawthorn.  Then she sent Heather into the storage room to fetch more.  
“I don’t know why we even have these,” said Heather, under her breath, carrying several boxes marked with stamps that read ‘THESTRAL.’
“Because some people have trauma, Heather.”
“He’s a teenager.  I seriously doubt he has deep personal experiences with death.”
“Wow, way to assume, Heather,” said another shop assistant, who was passing by with a far-too-curious customer.  
“Here,” said Mrs. Willoughby, handing Danny a box.  “Try this one.  It’s hawthorn.”
With some suspicion, Danny slid the cover off the box and gingerly picked up the wand inside.  
It didn’t do anything like what the other wands had. Instead, the slender length of wood gave him a faint echo of the feeling he got when he was on an emotional high and engaging in either extreme mischief or obsession-adjacent activities (because he did not have a real, ghostly, capital-O Obsession).
Danny declined to hold it with all five fingers, lest he be overcome with mania.
Yes, he was paranoid.  But when touching things can go as badly for you as they did for Danny, paranoia was justified.  
“Oh, it looks like you’ve found your match,” said Mrs. Willoughby, clapping.  
With the ease of practice, Danny did not let any trace of horror or unease show on his face.  He ignored the surge of glee from the wand, and carefully placed it back in the box.  
Yeah.  He needed a wand for passport purposes, but there was no way he was going to use that.  He’d just fake magic with ghost powers.  It had been working out okay so far.  
What was the worst that could happen?
A rather relieved Jack paid for the wand, and they made their way, slowly, to the government building.  
“So,” said Jack.  “You want to save getting those beginner magic manuals for another day?”
“Absolutely,” said Danny.  He wondered if his twin had gone through anything even remotely like this and if it was really worth all this trouble to meet a person he would have basically nothing in common with other than blood.  
Blood that likely meant less than usual, considering that his was diluted with ectoplasm.  A fact he would have to hide.  With no allies or back up.  In England.
(Again, this whole endeavor was not his greatest idea.)
.
Draco supervised the house-elves as they cleaned out the room next to his own, feeling rather blank.  He had campaigned vigorously for his twin to come, but now that he was…
The boy, for all that he was as much a Malfoy as Draco, was an American for all intents and purposes.  What did Americans even like?  What did they call their bastardized version of Quidditch?  Would Deneb even know about wizard games?  According to the woman from the agency, he’d been raised as a muggle by those squibs he’d been placed with.  
Slowly but surely, Draco’s heart sank.  He had no idea what his twin would be like.  Deneb, despite being his brother, would essentially be a stranger.  
He was beginning to understand why his mother was so angry at his father.

Here’s a few in my list:
Throwdown Therapy by gamma_radio
Ghostly instincts and pit rage drive Jason to fight Danny whenever he’s around. He has no idea why, or who Danny is, but they become fighting buddies. I love how utterly chaotic Danny is here. 
The Health and Wellbeing of Hybrid Entities by Faeriekit
Danny is hurt so badly that he’s little more than shadows around a core. He is found by the Justice League and mistaken for an alien, and taken to the moon base for care. Only, he has just recently escaped from the GIW and does not like being in a sanitary medical environment. Huge warnings for body horror, as Danny is literally regrowing his body, but the writing is lovely.
A Broken Sort of Normal by @clockwayswrites
Soft and melancholic story about Danny becoming friends and then boyfriends with Wally West, after being cursed so he can never reveal his powers or he’ll die.
Unearthed, Reborn by QueenoftheQuill
Danny runs into a newly-formed amnesiac halfa in the Ghost Zone and promptly adopts him. Unfortunately, Jay’s past life keeps creeping up on him.
Cryptid Crash Course by AshesGleamandGlow
Really cute story where Danny goes to Gotham and finds that all the vigilantes are non-human but don’t know it. He’s forced to give them tutoring in how to deal with the magical community and their own abilities.
uhhh who hasn’t been tagged here yet. @die-erlkonigin6083, @gremlin-bot, @akela-nakamura​?
Spread the Love Fic Recs <3
There's been a bunch of negativity lately and I think that means we as a fandom need to spread some love around. If you get tagged please add some fics that you think deserve more love, only request is that they aren't insanely popular fics (think like fics with less than 50k hits) this way we can get some other fics out there for others to read and enjoy!!
1.) Premeditation by Chromatographic (Lia)
The problem is that so few people are even able to see what the problem really is. The problem is that things that manage to find the balance on the knife’s edge of life are so, so hard to kill. The problem, Jasmine Fenton realizes, two weeks after she moves into Gotham, is one that almost no one, in any dimension or realm, is able to solve. The problem is simply put, though, even if it’s almost impossible. The problem is this: The Joker is a Halfa.
this fic has the hardcover ship (Jazz/Jason) and everlasting trio (danny/sam/tucker) it's beautifully written and keeps you on the edge of your seat as you watch the story progress. Absolutely amazing. The writing is just amazing, Chroma sucks you in with beautiful storyline that just blows my mind. And the ending is just absolutely perfect!
2.) Halves by TourettesDog
Jason wasn't sure why Dick thought it was a good idea to drag him along with Tim to Amity Park. His brother seemed to think the strange case would offer a decent opportunity to bond-- without Gotham (and Bruce) close at hand, perhaps it wasn't the worst idea he'd ever had. Unfortunately, Amity Park is far stranger than Dick anticipated, and Jason hasn't quite been himself since they arrived. Going to FentonWorks for answers was their first big mistake.
honestly one of my favorite fics atm, I just love Gothamites going to Amity Park, i'm just such a sucker for the idea and we just don't see it enough so this fic is just my dream come true!
3.) Pitch-Dark Shades by SummersSixEcho
Danny Fenton is trying to build a new life in Gotham after closing up the connections to the Ghost Zone. Not that all connections are entirely broken, still being able to perceive shades and give them strength when he connects to one of their prized objects. Tim Drake is trying to find his own place in the world, focusing on becoming a better detective by solving cold cases in his spare time. When Tim and Danny meet, a new (begrudging) partnership starts to bloom to solve even the hardest of cases. Or it would if only they told each other the truth.
I truly just love Danny and Tim together in literally any kind of capacity. They just cause so much chaos together and it's amazing. This fic is just absolutely lovely and the prose is amazing. Summers fics are truly enrapturing and just pull you in so easily.
4.) Beneath A Different Light by AKelaNakamura, SummersSixEcho, TourettesDog
When a convergent event hits unexpectedly, Damian and Danny find themselves in the last place they’d expected: In the body of the twin they’d thought long dead. With the after effects still coursing through them and danger lurking in both cities, the brothers must figure out who they can trust—all while slowly learning about the life their twin has led without them. Or, none of these bastards can catch a break.
Demon twins. Just--just Demon Twins my beloved. This fic is two chapters in and i'm just so utterly in love with it. Summers, Akela, and Dog are just a match made in heaven when it comes to cowriting a fic. The fic just yanks you in so easily and you find yourself thinking about it even after reading the fic. Just a wonderful fic!
5.) Come Little Children by Die_Erlkonigin6083
American Chestnuts were once one of the most important trees along the East Coast. The blight destroyed most of them, but not all of them. There was one chestnut tree, one that entranced a child, and then, what it wrought, enchanted an entire city or two
YALL when i tell you that the storytelling in this is absolutely breathtaking I'm serious. This fic has brought a tear to my eye because of just how beautifully it's written. It's got cool fantasy aspects to it, it's based off of an old fairy tale, it's just so amazing and it's one of my favorite fics to reread if i'm having a bad day. Just truly a lovely fic.
Now, I would like to see @halfagone @spite-sapphic-starlight @noir-renard and @midnightenigma recommend some of their favorite fics if they're willing <3333 let's spread some more love in this fandom!
also even if you aren't tagged--please feel free to recommend any fics you enjoy!!

Dad Fluff: Bad Day
CW: Chronic pain, referenced past torture, Mina is sickeningly cute, and all of the things she does in here are things I have personally witnessed a four year old doing. (I was actually the four year old who did one of the things in this piece - guess which one!)
Danny is busy pitying himself when he hears Mina wake up down the hall. He’d had this idea of what parenting would be like, and lying in bed with agonizing pain ripping up and down his back isn’t it.
Instead, as he’d waited and waited for them to be matched with a birthmom, Danny had pictured waking his daughter (or son - they hadn’t known which the baby would be, yet) with homemade breakfast.
He’d seen himself as being already on his second cup of coffee, settling down at the kitchen table to watch tiny legs swing on chairs too tall. 
Danny had pictured asking his child what they had dreamed about the night before, and lying about his own nightmares with ease by then. Never letting on that when his baby needed a nightlight, he still did, too.
Some days - most days, even, he tries to be honest with at least himself - he is exactly the father he wanted to be. But then there are days like today, where his four year old daughter starts singing to herself in her room down the hall and Danny can’t get up to greet her.
“Hosanna, hey-sanna, sanna superstar,” Mina sings brightly in the joyful off-key caterwauling of very young children, and Danny finds a smile. It’s faint and faded and it doesn’t last, as a new spike of pain rips up the right side of his back where a knife once broke off inside him, but he decides to count that one single smile as his first victory for the day.
He should have told Nate to call off class, he really should have, but… the thing was, Nate’s been working on this lecture he’s really excited about - something something World War I and horror in popular culture, there’s a book, something something there’s always a book - forever and his students are all hyped up for it and Danny having a bad back doesn’t seem like a reason to ruin everyone else’s day, too.
It felt like doing the right thing then - pretending to be peacefully asleep while Nate quietly got ready and let himself out the front door after putting Toto out in the fenced-in yard - but in the moment it means Danny lying in bed, in the dark he tells himself he no longer fears because he’s in too much pain to turn on the light, waiting for his daughter to give up waiting on him to come to her room and come looking for him herself.
“Hey-sanna, hosanna, sanna superstar,” Mina sings, and then there’s a pause. Danny closes his eyes against the angry tears, tries to tell himself to stand, but when he moves his legs his back screams at him to stay still and he gives up, letting out a soft, half-broken sob.
“Daddy?” Mina calls. He can hear the sound of her turning the doorknob, the soft sound of the door opening up. “Daddy? Do you hear me singing?”
“Yes, baby,” He manages, his deep voice hoarse and a little cracked. “I’m… I’m in my room, Mina, honey. Can�� can you, um, come here?”
Silence, and then the padding of tiny footsteps down the hall, until his own bedroom door slowly opens. He can close his eyes and picture her going up on her toes to turn on the light, and the sudden brightness soothes something that is always jagged in Danny in the dark.
Grown man, afraid of the dark, Abraham whispers in the back of his mind, never quite gone, the ghost that left a parting gift of pain. My fingers never leave your mind.
Around the side of the little dresser his daughter peeps at him and Abraham’s voice is gone as quickly as it came. Mina chases all his ghosts away. 
She’s wearing her matching unicorn pajamas that are probably too small by now, but he can’t bear to make her give them up. Her hair is a halo of textured black curls around her head - Danny is supposed to give her back her braids, today, the ladies down at the salon they go to showed Danny and Nate how to take care of hair so very different than their own
He can’t braid her hair if he can’t fucking sit up.
Mina takes him in with wide brown eyes, the largest feature in her tiny round face. She’s starting to lose the toddler babyfat but only just, and the resemblance to his own younger brother in the first days Danny was adopted is… uncanny, sometimes.
Like now, when Mina looks at him and knows what she is looking at.
“You didn’t turn on the light,” She says, softly. “You don’t have your light on the wall. Are you sick?”
“I’m… I’ll be okay, honey. I just have, um, my back hurts… pretty bad today. I thought I’d handle it, but…” He groans without meaning to, it feels like so much energy just to talk. “I’m so sorry, honey. I’m not… not gonna be much of a daddy today.”
Mina frowns at him, her big brown eyes locked on his.
It isn’t supposed to be like this.
Abraham found a way to leave him one last goddamn gift, a present he never unwrapped or asked for and would do anything to give back. 
“I’ll get your phone,” Mina says seriously, and comes further in, dragging RiffRaff behind her, the stuffed giraffe with a neck long enough to approach pure absurdity. A gift from Ryan, one among many. 
She moves quickly across the floor with her little bare feet padding, a flash of brown stomach showing as her too-small shirt rides up. She has to stretch up again to pull Danny’s cell phone down from the bookshelf, and he watches her, thinking, by next year you won’t have to go on your toes, by two years you won’t want me to be the first thing you see any longer, by thirteen you’ll be slamming doors in my face, will I still be lying here with my back refusing to let me be the parent I wanted to be for you?
“Sad Daddy face,” Mina says, slapping the cell phone down next to him. “Dad would poke your nose.”
“He would,” Danny says, and manages a small smile. “Honey, I’m trying, but I think we have to call Dad back home from work. I can’t… I can’t get out of the bed. I’m sorry, Mina, but it’s not… it’s not gonna work today.”
“Yes it can,” Mina says, with a stubborn set to her jaw she gets from Nate, not that Nate has ever noticed he does it. Danny finds a small smile, at the sight. Adopted or not, Mina is Nate Vandrum’s daughter through and through - already reading some words, already curling up with a book to turn the pages and make up stories about the pictures she sees on the page. Already a serious little girl, a tiny adult.
“I don’t see how,” Danny replies, shifting minutely in the bed, just trying to move onto his side, hissing when his back protests once again.
“We do like when I get sick,” Mina says, softly. “I can open the fridge all by myself and my stuffies and my loveys can sit with us and we can do like when I’m sick.” She considers, and he sees a sudden gleam of mischief in her. “I can have my screen?” She asks, sidling a little closer to the bed.
Danny swallows, and looks down at his cell phone. It’s 7:30 in the morning. The lecture Nate has been planning for happens for his 10 AM class, and he can move his office hours maybe if Danny gives him enough notice to put up a sign…
Hey Nate, he texts, keeping his eyes on Mina, who watches his texting with interest and a clearly increasing certainty that she is going to get exactly what she wants out of this. Bad back day. Fine rn but cn you come home after lecture plz?
“Gonna get to watch princesses,” Mina says, with evident delight. “And eat Lunchables.”
“Sssshhhh,” Danny says, but he can’t quite hold back his own smile in response to his daughter’s. “Daddy being sick isn’t supposed to be something you look forward to, baby.”
His phone vibrates in his hand and he glances down.
Danny, please use full words, that drives me up the wall when you type like that.
“I can’t believe you took the time to write that out,” Danny mutters to himself, but his smile widens even more. He can feel the stretch of scar tissue along his nose and jaw, even this long after Abraham’s death the marks are there, fading but never gone. “Mina, only your Dad uses correct punctuation in his f-... his text messages.”
“Writing is important,” Mina recites in her best impersonation of Nate, pitching her voice hilariously low. Danny laughs out loud despite the way the motion seems to stab whole new little daggers up and down his spine. He’ll be damned if he’ll let a little agony stop him from appreciating his daughter.
Another message comes in and he glances down.
I’ll be home by 12:30. Bringing ramen from the place you like and gyoza for Mina. Do you want me to just cancel and come home now?
No, fine. Just after lunch is good.
Whether Nate believes him or not, he doesn’t know, but he drops back to lay his head down on the pillow, watching Mina watch him right back. “Okay, honey. Dad will be home after lunch. So we just have to… to make this work for a few hours, okay?”
“Okay, Daddy. I’ll be right back.” With that, Mina throws RiffRaff onto the bed next to Danny and goes running back out. All he can do is lay there, feeling spectacularly useless, while he listens and hopes that she isn’t taking this moment to color on all the walls or break a bunch of things or learn how to set the house on fire.
When she finally returns, she is dragging her small travel suitcase - the one with some kind of cartoon character whose name he can’t remember - behind her like an overworked flight attendant at the end of a long day. “Okay… Daddy…” Mina says, comically out of breath. “I brought… everything.”
He realizes she never actually zipped the suitcase when she simply overturns the whole thing and Danny stares, trapped on the bed, as it opens up and dumps a chaotic mixture of toys and food and her favorite blankets onto his bedroom floor.
“Jesus Christ, Mina,” Danny whispers, eyes wide.
“Jesus Christ, Superstar,” Mina sings happily in response. Not a single note is on key, and Danny thinks maybe adoption doesn’t matter and Mina is his child too. “Do you think you’re what they say you are? Okay, Daddy, I got… I got us stuff for sick. Can I get up on the bed with you?”
Danny looks at the roughly mound-shaped pile of things on the floor, then slowly up at his daughter. “Can we… can we do something about all your stuff first?”
“It’s your stuff, too. Look!” Mina digs into the pile with enthusiasm, and the first thing she pulls out is Danny’s bottle of pain medication.
Hi, I’m Daniel Michaelson, and my baby brings me my fucking pain meds. Pin the medal on the father of the fucking year.
“Oh my God,” Danny whispers. Someone is going to psychically know this happened and he’ll lose her, and he can’t lose her, not because of his stupid back, not because of goddamn Abraham fucking Denner-
“I pushed a chair up to the counter and climbed up and got in the special cupboard,” Mina says seriously, giving him the bottle. He takes it with shaking fingers, his heart so gripped with guilt it’s like it has to work harder to beat. “Where you keep medicine. I can open the lock now and I put my feet in the sink!”
Danny is going to hell for being a bad father, he knows it. He knows it, and he knows your four-year-old stood in your sink to dig out your fucking pills, you fucking whiner is going to be the first thing the Devil says to him.
Maybe he’ll get to suffer right next to Abraham.
Maybe Abraham’s the demon set to make him sorry for everything all over again.
“Daddy, stop,” Mina says, looking a little nervous at the look on Danny’s face. “Dad always gets you medicine when your back is bad. Am I in time-out?”
“Um. Uh… no, honey. Just… just don’t do that, um, again. And don’t ever, ever tell Dad you know how to get into the medicine cabinet. Okay?”
“Okay.” Mina drops back down to the pile, and brings up a small bottle of the cold brew they buy in a pack of six at the store. She hands that to Danny, too, taking to her work with perfect seriousness. All he can do is watch her as he swallows two pills dry and then washes them down with the coffee.
There. 
An hour, and he’ll be able to move around in the bed, at least, even if he’ll still hurt too badly to get all the way up. His back is like that - on bad days you can’t get rid of the pain, only make it a little less debilitating. Most bad days he can keep himself moving through sheer momentum, and everyone tells him he must be feeling better and he doesn’t know how to tell them that his baseline changed, back when Abraham first held him captive - he and Nate in the woods in Canada.
Long before the blade broke off in his back, there were days of bruises, battering, and beating. He starved and never slept and hurt like hell.
People think pain ebbs and flows, but the tide is never fully out for Danny. There is always a whisper of oceanwater promising a later tsunami.
While he lays there watching her, Mina picks out her stuffies and loveys, one by one, and begins to lay them throughout the bed. In the backyard, distantly, Danny hears Toto barking - the high-pitched bark that means he’s treed something again. At least somebody is having fun, Danny thinks.
“Okay, Daddy,” Mina says, laying a series of stuffed animals carefully around his head and lightly against his shoulders as he forces himself to shift onto his back on the bed, closing his eyes against the way the pain drains all the blood from his face and his fingers, leaving everything cold and numb as it’s his spine where the nerves light up in fire. “You can have RiffRaff today, and Mister Bones, and Zombie Monkey, and She-Ra, and Ugly, and Bo. I’m going to keep the rest.”
Danny takes a deep breath. “Honey, did you leave any of your animals in your room?”
“No,” Mina answers with a shrug. She clambers back down and comes back with her tablet, which she smacks down a little too hard on Danny’s stomach. He winces and hisses, and her eyes go wide. “Oh, your tummy is sick? I’m sorry, Daddy.”
“N-No, baby, it’s okay. It’s… yikes. I’ll pull a, um, a movie up for you, okay?”
“Princess movie!”
“Can we… watch literally anything else, baby?”
Mina juts her lower lip out and sets her jaw. “Princess movie, Daddy.” She says, stubbornly. When Danny responds with silence and a raised eyebrow, she lets the pout go and gives him a disarming, charming smile instead. “I mean, Daddy-can-I-please-watch-princesses?” She asks, batting her eyelashes and everything, the words all run together the way she always does when she has to ask nicely.
Danny sighs, but it’s with a smile on his face. “Yeah, okay, honey. What else do you have on the floor?”
“Um, some toys, and… this!” Mina holds up two matching Lunchables in the air like she’s declaring victory.
Honestly, she probably is.
“Lunchables for breakfast, huh?” Well, there are worse things in the world, Danny thinks to himself. At least it’s not drugs, right? Yeah, there’s a good bar for good parenting, whether or not your four year old prefers Lunchables or… cocaine or something.
“I need these fucking pills to kick in,” Danny mutters, not realizing he’s speaking out loud until Mina turns to look at him, wide-eyed.
“Daddy,” She says, sounding absolutely scandalized. “You’re not supposed to say that word anymore, Dad said-”
“I know what Dad said,” Danny says, gesturing carefully with one arm, moving as few of his back muscles as possible to do it. “Climb on up here, honey. Let’s do Lunchables. I’ll put a dollar in the jar when I can stand up, okay?”
She nods and climbs up with him. Danny carefully opens the Lunchables for her with his teeth gritted. There’s another thing they didn’t tell him, before it was his life - that sometimes even doing tiny things like tearing the perforated opening off the side of a cardboard Lunchables box could hurt so badly. People think they know what a backache is.
They don’t know.
But then Mina takes the Capri Sun and puts it aside and makes herself a tiny ham-and-cheese sandwich using the little cracker in the box, and some of Danny’s stubborn self-pity starts to slide away, eroded by her cheerful smile. “Elsa with the water horse?” She asks. “Can we do that princess movie?”
“Frozen 2,” Danny corrects absently, scanning through the Disney movies on the tablet with casual swipes of his finger. She never asks for the new princess movies, only the ones from before she was born. Once the movie starts, the sound small and tinny coming from the tablet, Danny settles himself back against the pillows and hands her the screen. She pulls out his arm - he holds back the sounds of pain at the stretch of muscle - and then snuggles in against his side, pulling RiffRaff back into her own lap, her fuzzy black hair brushing softly against the roughened scar tissue on Danny’s neck.
He manages to turn his head and kiss her, on the top of her head. “Just a few hours until Dad gets home,” Danny whispers. “I’m so sorry, baby. I’ll be a better Daddy tomorrow.”
He hopes.
Mina is watching the opening previews and doesn’t look at him or even seem to hear what he said.
By ten, Danny’s been able to get up and use the bathroom, at least, and brush his teeth. That’s his second victory, he decides, in a day where they don’t come easy. 
Around eleven, right in the middle of Nate giving the lecture he’s been working so hard on, Danny and Mina fall asleep listening to The Princess and the Frog, a firefly singing to the evening star.
Nate comes home at half past noon with the ramen in hand. He sets it down on the kitchen table and lets Toto back in, the scruffy shelter dog all wagging tails and half-wild jumps. Nate gets him slowly calmed down, and listens. “D-Danny? You around?”
Nothing.
“Mina? Baby? Where are you and D-Daddy?”
Still nothing. Nate frowns - Danny hadn’t answered his text asking what kind of ramen he wanted, and he’d thought maybe Danny was playing with Mina in the toyroom and hadn’t heard - but when he checks, they aren’t in there either.
Finally, he heads upstairs, and halfway up he realizes he can hear the tinny sounds of music coming from their bedroom. He stops in the doorway to stare down at a small, scattered pile of plastic horses, a tiny baby doll, dollhouse furniture, and at least one Pegasus next to his daughter’s suitcase for when they travel to see Danny’s parents.
There’s a soft exhalation, and he turns to look at his husband and daughter asleep on the bed.
The tablet has been discarded, off to the empty side of the king-sized bed. It’s still playing the menu for one of the Disney movies, although Nate can’t remember which one this menu screen is for.
Danny is on his side, with his knees curled, some of the age fallen off of his face His hair is a mess of bright red with hints of silver over his eyes - he’s had silvery strands in his hair since Alberta, the first time Abraham held him - and spread out across the pillows. His hands aren’t up to cover his head - he hasn’t done that in a few years now. 
Instead, he has one hand curled up against himself, and the other arm flung over his sleeping daughter. Mina has her head under his chin, on her side as well, and her face is buried against his neck and his collarbone. The two of them breathe nearly in unison, and they are absolutely suffocating in Mina’s favorite stuffed animals and the remains of empty Lunchables packages.
Next to the bed, on the side table, is a half-drunk bottle of iced coffee and Danny’s pain medication. Nate swallows - Danny never takes pills until it’s so bad he can’t move or Nate forces him to. Too afraid, even now, that taking a few pills would lead him right back to relying on fuzzying up his mind to shake away the memories that still threaten when the room is dark.
Nate considers just closing the door and heading back downstairs to eat alone, but Toto comes barreling past his legs and runs into the room, taking a bodily leap onto the bed, all forty pounds of him trying to wriggle between Danny and Mina to try and lick both their faces at once.
Danny jerks awake, eyes fluttering and blinking rapidly, pushing instinctively back Mina groans and rolls over, scooting away, trying to slip right back to sleep the way kids sometimes do.
“H-Hey, Toto,” Danny slurs, getting his hands on the excited dog and gently moving him back. “Hey, bud, how did you get inside…”
“I let him in,” Nate says softly, and Danny turns to look at him. His face is pale and drawn, but the smile when he greets Nate is real.
“Oh, hey,” Danny says, pushing himself up onto his elbows. “Sorry to call you home early, I just-... it’s just not a good day for my back. Mina and I decided to… to just take a break in here-”
“Danny, you’ve been in here all day, haven’t you?” Nate sighs. “Don’t l-lie to me.”
“It’s fine,” Danny says, shaking his head. Mina groans again, but her eyes are open now, and she rolls back over. “It’s fine, I’ll do better tomorrow, I’ll… I’ll try harder-”
“Danny,” Nate says, firmly, and it’s only then that Danny seems to realize what he just said. His face pales a little more, making the healing muzzle scars stand out in a ring around his face. “You don’t h-have to. I don’t m-m-mind coming home.”
“Hello, Dad,” Mina says blearily, scooting back to Danny now that Toto is safely sitting far enough back to give her spot back to her, snuggling right back into him. “Did you bring food?”
“I d-did, honey. Have you and Daddy had fun this morning?”
Danny winces, guilt written clearly across his face. “I’ll be better tomorrow, I’ll do better, I can... can try harder-”
“Danny, stop it,” Nate says, a little more edged this time. 
“We had so much fun, Dad,” Mina says cheerfully, and Danny turns to look at her, surprised. “We ate Lunchables for breakfast. I always want to and you never let me! And Daddy said a bad word so he has to put money in the jar again-”
“Hey, you said you wouldn’t tell,” Danny says with fake anger, and Mina makes a face at him until he smiles.
“And I got to have all my friends in your bed even though I’m not supposed to and we watched princess movies and I got to pick the movies and Daddy played Stuffy Fight with me!”
“So you d-did have fun,” Nate says gently, and Mina nods.
Danny sits back, closing his eyes briefly, and Nate watches the way his face stills, and knows he’s holding back emotion that wants to write itself there that he doesn’t want to show. Nate sits down, lightly resting on the side of the bed, and slides a hand behind Danny’s head, leaning in to give him a kiss.
“Don’t s-sell yourself short,” Nate says gently. “You’re a g-g-good dad, Daniel Michaelson. Even on b-bad days. But… call me n-next time. Listen to me. You’re a good dad.”
There’s a pause.
Then Mina leans slowly over and says, “I got Daddy’s pills down from the cabinet for him.”
Nate turns to look at her, blinking, as Danny groans and puts his hands up over his eyes. “Oh my God, Mina, I did not ask you and you promised not to tell-”
“Okay,” Nate says, with exaggerated patience. “I am going to pr-pretend I did not h-h-hear either of the things either of y-you just said, and go g-g-get the trays and our r-r-ramen and gyoza. Please n-n-never explain it to me. Ever.”
Danny nods without taking his hands down.
Nate gets all the way downstairs, gets the food settled on the TV trays, and Danny has slurped up his first bite of noodles when Nate finally sighs and says, “You know wh-what, I lied - I need to know exactly how you explain-”
“I didn’t tell Daddy until after I did it,” Mina says brightly, picking up the little fried dumpling with her fingers.
“... and there it is. Let’s eat b-b-before I panic, at l-least.”
“I know how to open the special lock! I can open under the sink now, too!”
“... okay, too l-late, I’m panicking now.”

IM SORRY IM JUST BLOWN AWAY I HAVE FUCKING RUCLIPSE FANS
PLEASE UNDERSTAND THE SHEER SHOCK THIS GIVES ME AND DELIGHT
dgfisjkgfjdskg
Speaking of Ruclipse month I’m makign a proper “banner” with teh prompts this is the WIp image
Tumblr media
As for Aus!!
this is gonna get long---
Ummmm The lsit wasn’t full full cuz like I have some AUs tied into others and some I’ve made since then... Like i have a number of Aus I don’t talk about since they are mostly JUST RuClipse focus like I have a Kelpie AU in which Arulius is a Kelpie who’s been trying to eat Eclipse since she was a child but winds up falling for her when she’s older because she’s facinating and eventually starts staying with her because humans age too fast. I also have a Red Riding Hood AU that’s cute fluff. Plus my Fairy Cinderella one.
IDK an exact number tbh I’d have to like. Sit and count.  I just like to write them cuz it’s relaxing and I really need that (like man i need relaxing... i had a break down at my day job and my manager had to drive me home by force cuz I wanted to keep working----but that’s because im a severe workaholic with some trauma involved with perfectionism)
Which are my focus/most lore
Right now it’s @eclipseofthehat that’s a big one!!! I’ve been working a lot on the comic scripts and figuring that plot out since I consider that AU kinda my “hub” Au in which everything else is the AU of if that makes sense?
Other than that I’m slightly obsessed with the Nutcracker AU and the Triassic Planet AU but I’m not the main writer on those so I can’t do much lore there.
Well I’m making a shit ton of angst in the Triassic Planet AU but that’s cuz Gin  is as angst fueled as I am.
The thing with me is I get inspired off pretty much anything and can come up with a full damn lore plot in a matter of hours.
Sometimes I go ham on them and they become full-fledged things (like the Lamia AU i have was based off of the simple fact of I was watching Anime, a lamia showed up and I went ‘hey what if’ and now I wrote about 7 short chapters i need to finish) or I just do a snippet (the phantom of the opera au. Like i do have the full plot figured. but I really just wanted to write a small snippet)
I have a lot of like partially written things I just worked on while I was bored, sometimes I sketch things randomly and run off.
I get stressed out pretty easily and over whelmed with day to day stuff so I use this as my escape.
anyhow here’s a smallish list of AUs i have rn I think are new from that list im too lazy to look up:
Under a read more CUZ IT GOT LONGER THAN I THOUGHT
Lawbound (Hattie summoned poor law student Prynce Arulius Law who is dead by his fiancee’s hand and trying to solve his own murder. Chapter one is written to post Im doing the cover. chapter 2 is started. Epilogue is also already written)
Red is the Wolf (Red riding hood au, Eclipse is a young woman who’s slowly become a wolf forest spirit due to being born with too much magic. If she interacts with humans she’ll remains human. however she has a terrible fear of people. Her life gets thrown when she accidentally encounters the Prince in the woods and discovers he’s similar to her but his curse is more damaging. She winds up trying to break his curse while slowly falls for her)
The Snake prince (based off my favorite fable from childhood ‘the enchanted snake’ in which Arulius is a Prince who was turned into a snake for the sin of signing the order to execute the forest guardians. his fiance was unable to bear his snakeness and had him trapped in her basement where he escaped injured. he was found by folklorist Eclipse who is a witch and the lone survivor of the massacre. they have no idea of the other’s identity but this is the one AU he’s pretty open about his feelings and while she’s trying to break his curse they end up in love and eventually she has to do the kings trials and Ru semi breaks his curse and the two flee his father who wants her dead. I actually drew a really cute picture of right after eclipse properly breaks his curse. it’s a super fluffy au tbh)
Sunken Ship (new au from the past week. Eclipse is a sea witch who loves ship wrecks. she met the ghost of Arulius Law, a law student who passed away when his fiance shoved him off the sinking ship. She took his skull back to New york with her so he can try to move on. Bittersweet story of them growing close but he’s dead... but mermaids live a long time. and im a slut for reincarnation)
Whipped Water Horse (this is the kelpie au i talked about above. Arulius is a Kelpie who’s been threatened with a whip by Amaris Nightingale since she was a small child and she doesn’t fear the fae. ends up falling in love with her and saving her several times from her human suitors under the guise of “youre my target so no one can have you” has some major angst and some not so fun stuff nearly happen)
The contractor’s wish (Snatcher is a demon who has to grant the whims of those who form contracts by writing in the book he’s bound to. Eclipse found the book while cleaning her attic out and ends up freeing him without question. he sticks around and slowly recalls being human and how he wound up in his situation while trying to figure what his actual wish is)
Cute Barista (a coffee shop au with a cinderella twist. Amaris is a graphic design student who works at her brother’s cafe “the horizon” and attracted the attention of a law student named Arulius law who visits daily. Her brother tried to get him to piss off but sadly the two actually enjoy chatting with each other. As a peck you to her brother they start going on dates. She’s very down on herself and he’s secretly the reclusive prince who’s been in hiding because he’s afraid of peoples reactions after he was scarred by an accident in his youth. he’s trying to find the best way to tell her the truth but also doesn’t want to scare her away. He’s a single father in this having adopted Harriet while doing volunteer work)
the Art Student’s muse (this one is fully written i just haven’t posted it. Basically, Arulius is an art student who became obsessed with this one nude model they had. Like not persay in a creepy way she just captivated him. he gets a lot of shit from his best friend Vanessa but winds up keeping the model in mind despite not seeing her. In his senior year they cross paths again and she has a break down but they wind up together.)
Swapped (a short one shot chapter in which TLC eclispe wakes up as Moon guardian Eclipse and gets very confused emotions when snatcher kissed her)
Darkrai’s Wish (a pokemon au Ive posted one chapter of already in which Arulius is a darkrai but used to be human and doesnt remember this. he has to deal with being human again thanks to a little jirachi and dealing with the fact he loves Eclipse who has issues cuz he used to be a pokemon)
Wolf bite (Prince Arulius was cursed as a werewolf in his youth. as an adult when he got out one full moon he bit a village girl giving her the curse as well. She winds up nearly being burned at the stake for witch craft and he has her saved and brought to the castle. he’s trying to make it up to her but she’s understandably pissed off. It’s a lot of him trying to get her to be not angry but also they start liking each other and she helps teach him a lot about how the world works because he’s naive and sheltered)
Familiar (Amaris lives in a world magic exists. many people have famialars to help do day to day tasks and the more impressive your family the better. Most meet their famialar when they are children, however, Amaris didn’t. But one day her past returns and she is taking care of a small chubby dragon who to everyone else looks like a deformed ferret and has to learn her magic may not be as limited as thought as well as the truth behind her familiar and the strange young man who keeps stopping by her work with flowers for her)
The Prince’s Pet Snake (this is the lamia au. Eclipse is a dangerous lamia with venom to take down an army. Arulius is a naive prince who thought of her as an animal and came to realize she’s far more human than he thought and being dumb to the fact he loves her despite he’s engaged. Has a sad ending)
Tangled Adventure (tangled au: Arulius law was cursed by his wife and is now trying to find the horizon and the daughter of the moon to break it. he picks up a changling child along the way who’s also searching for the horizon to find out where she came from. they meet the daughter of the moon but it seems to break the curse isnt as simple as they think and after making a deal with her to show her the outside they get into trouble when the queen comes looking for her lost prince)
Going Ghost (a danny phantom au idk if i’ve mentioned at all lol. hat and bow are twins and friends of arulius and they are inspecting a weird floor at his girlfriend's house. he winds up getting stuck when they trigger a gate to the horizon and becomes the snatcher. thankfully MJ and Eclipse where there and can somewhat help him calm down but it’s nuts)
Princess and the Rogue (a fantasy Au in which Eclipse is a runaway princess who became a fighter and teamed up with the rogue Snatcher who was cursed after wooing a noble woman. the two have been traveling for a few years and have one of those totally love each other but wont say it but also the search for the princess is getting intense and his curse is getting worse.)
Undergrounded (this is just my undertale au. )
Skates on Point (an ice skating au. Arulius is part of a famous olypic duo, Amaris is a selective mute woman who teaches at her daoptive father’s rink and an ex-ballet dancer. her brotehr was the gold medalist in the olympics but had to quit when he lost the use of his legs in a car wreck.

Wes Plays Match Maker - Phic Phight
Prompt Creator: @deredereart Prompt: After meeting Dani and finding out Vlad is a ghost, Wes’ theories about Phantom seem less absurd to Valerie than before. Summary: Valerie steals Wes's binder and has some questions
Warning: mentions of the violence Dan did
Danny Fenton is minding his own business when someone slams an overfilled stripped black and white binder with notes, pictures and papers sticking out of it at odd ends; onto the table. Danny blinks at it a bit before putting down his milkshake and lifting his head up. “Uh, hey Val? What’s with the binder? That’s a little disorganised for you”, Danny can’t help but smile at her. Valerie gives him a soft but silly smile as she sits down. She jabs a finger on the cover of the binder and says, “Phantom, you damn moron”.
Danny coughs a little bit before composing himself, “um what? Either somehow Phantom turned himself into a kind of sad looking binder or I’m really confused”. Valerie laughs while shaking her head, putting a hand over her face “you are scary good at making up shit in the spot, you know that?”. Then after lowering her hand as Danny chuckles a little, “so I was sitting in class today and that Wes kid is going off with his conspiracy again. But you know what, Danny?”. Danny can’t help but groan and shuffle his feet nervously, “that kid is quite the loony handful isn’t he? And what?”. Valerie smirks, “yeah his theories were pretty crazy and him screaming like a madman doesn’t help. He had a giant bell today to draw attention to himself”. By the time Valerie’s done speaking Danny’s head is on the table and he’s laughing his ass off. Functionally killing his nerves. “I could live with that if he stopped trying to dump white paint and flour on me, he’s wrecked almost half my shirts at this point”, Danny is muffled by the table top.
Valerie nods, “yeah that’s pretty extreme, plus it’s kind of a dick move to be trying to out you like that anyways”. Danny chuckles, “yeah tell me about- wait, what?”. Danny lifts his head up off the table and gives her a puzzled look, just barely concealing his worry. Valerie taps on the binder, “I lifted this off Wes, with all this shit I think the only reason no ones realised is because no one thinks it’s possible”.
“Uh”, is all Danny can think of saying at the moment, he really has no clue what in all Wes has on him. Valerie chuckles lightly and leans her face down to Danny’s, which is only a little bit off the table, facing her. “After meeting Dani I saw Vlad do his whole transformation bit. And you know what?”
“Uh, what?”, Danny makes a point to sound completely confused. Valerie rolls her eyes at his fake confusion, “well half ghosts are real, Dani looks like and is the cousin of Phantom. So...”. Danny tried to look even more confused and is completely panicked at this point, “pretty sure Phantom doesn’t have a cousin”. Is all he gives as a response hoping that by not lying he’ll seem more believable. Valerie leans back and shakes her head at him while smiling, “pretty sure you both said you’re cousins and you know you could have just told me you moron. You were right, there’s no way I could fight or kill something that’s even part human. You included”.
Danny sits up right and rubs his neck, “well alright then...”. Valerie laughs loudly, “seriously? How was I supposed to not put it together. Danny, the minute I found out half ghost were a thing it was pretty hard not to wonder about Phantom. And then with Vlad? Who doesn’t bother changing his first name? Come on Danny?”. Danny throws his hands up dramatically but whispers, “I was 14, never claimed to be creative”. Valerie rolls her eyes, “so...”.
Danny smack his head as he clues in that she’s trying to get him to admit to it, “I’m not much of one for secret telling, Val. But yeah, ok, I’m Phantom”. Valerie smiles softly as Danny rubs his neck looking away from her, “finally, and Danny? Fenton, Phantom? Those sound so similar, at least Masters and Plasmius sound wildly different”. Danny shrugs, “I’m a punny man, I couldn’t resist. But you’re not mad?”.
Valerie rolls her eyes, “I’m not happy but no I’m not mad. I wish you had told me on your own, in the beginning I get you lying cause we weren’t friends in any way. But then we dated and the whole truce with Phantom happened, so why?”. Danny shrugs, sipping his drink a bit before responding, “like I said I’m not much of a secret teller, hell I’ve never actually told anyone. All the people who know either knew from the start or stumbled on it on their own”. Valerie looks a little shocked at this but she understands it, “well I would have trusted you once I knew but I do need to know why you attacked my suit. Did you know I wasn’t in there?”. Danny nods at her, “yeah, Technus was.  I knew it wasn’t you Val. I would never fight you full force like that”. Valerie smirks, “good and honestly, I could tell you were never fully trying. I used to take that as an insult”. Danny blinks a couple times before looking sheepish.
Valerie thinks for a second and furrows her brows, “you said from the beginning, earlier, there’s no way you’ve always been half ghost so, like, what the hell Danny?”. Danny raises an eyebrow and laughs, “you’re asking for my superhero origin story?”. Valerie sighs and facepalms, “you can be so awful but yes, yes I am. And I guess you really are, aren’t you?”. Danny shrugs, “well powers, I fight crime, save the city, even the world once or twice. So yeah I’d say superhero fits. Jazz even likes to say I have a hero complex”. Danny shakes his head and chuckles before continuing, “but to put it really simply my parents built a ghost portal, it didn’t work. I went inside it, accidentally turned it on, got half killed. Sam and Tuck where there, lots of screaming”. Valerie looks shocked and a bit disturbed, “that, that was incredibly dumb of you. Also, that sounds horribly painful”. Danny nods frowning, “well the entirety of the ghost zone basically electrocuted me, so yeah. It hurt. I was Phantom when I fell out of the portal, we all thought I was flat out dead till I changed back. And at least I thought the thing didn’t and couldn’t work. Vlad thought the college mini portal would work and yet he still shoved his head in it just as it was turned on”. Valerie facepalms again while grimacing, “ok yeah that’s even more stupid. But that must have been terrifying Danny”.
Danny nods, “once we figured out I wasn’t actually dead, it was sorta ok. More worried about my parents at that point. Now them trying to kill me or dissect me all the time has just become the butt of a joke!” Danny laughs pretty loudly while Valerie looks horrified.
“Danny what! That is so very stupid. I’d say you should tell them but unlike me, I don’t think they’ve ever cooperated with any ghost or half ghost”, Valerie shakes her head as Danny laughs a bit more. Danny sighing, “they’ve cooperated with Phantom once or twice. But even though I know they’ll accept me, I’d rather not deal with them going all scientist on me or trying to “fix me” either”. Valerie nods, totally getting it, “yeah I wouldn’t want my dad trying to change me so I guess I get it. That’s why I was so mad when you revealed me that time, not cool by the way”.
Danny rubs his neck, “yeah, I didn’t really have time to waste and I couldn’t let you take the battle suit. I’m pretty much the only person who could use that thing without dying. Well fully dying”. Valerie responds with an eyebrow raised, “was it really that bad?”.
“Yes, it nearly fully killed me as it was. Any normal human would have died and failed to seal Pairah away again”. Valerie slugs him in the shoulder, “so you almost killed yourself? Christ Danny you dumbass. But I guess there really wasn’t any other way”. Shaking her head, “you’re not all powerful, so maybe ask for help next time?”. Valerie is kind of surprised when Danny starts laughing so hard that he tears up a little, “Val, um you’re kind of wrong on that. If I had wanted to 14 year old me could have destroyed the entire world in the span of 10 years. Hell, that actually happened until I fucked around with the time stream. And that timelines me is actually weaker than I am now, he didn’t even have ice powers”. Valerie is gapping like a fish, “what? You were supposed to destroy the world? What the fuck?”. Danny rubs his neck, “yeah if you want the rundown, because I’m pretty much over the trauma of it at this point. All my family and friends died in an explosion, Vlad adopted me, ripped out my humanity and the ghost me ripped out Vlad’s humanity, the ghost me fused with Vlad’s ghost, murdered human me and then spent the next 10 years mass killing every human and ghost. As well as destroying all the buildings, he threw tanks at people while laughing”. Valerie looks completely freaked out, “what the fuck Danny, that-that is completely awful”. Danny nods looking a little uncomfortable, “yeah and it was a pretty big mind fuck going to that future just as he was trying to destroy Amity. You were there and called young me or me from the past, cute after I saved you from being killed by the evil me. Who’s called Dan by the way”. Valerie shakes her head, “well you are still cute Danny but how the hell did you even stop this future from happening?”. Danny laughs a little, “well Dan came to my, at the time, present and pretended to be me so he could basically murder my friends and family to make sure I became him. But I went and fist fought him, I totally lost but this time ghost saved them and reversed time. He basically pushed restart and thus made it so that I could avoid everyone dying. Dan still exists though, just outside of time having a time out in a thermos”. Valerie shakes her head, “that is ridiculous, well don’t ever go evil”. Danny laughs, “I don’t intend to”.
Valerie shakes herself off, “on a lighter note, you really should look”. Valerie shoves the binder at Danny. While Danny flips through the pages he can’t help but shake his head, “I think Sam and Tuck need costumes or something. At least he’s never caught me mid-transformation”. Valerie chuckles as Danny closes the book, “I know most of it is easy to dismiss but you really should be more careful, you dumbass. Also yeah, costumes is a good idea”. While Valerie’s been talking Danny has gotten an idea, “hey Val? Does he know you have this?”. As Valerie shakes her head Danny grins, sticking his hand in the binder he ectoblasts the contents to smithereens. Valerie jumps a little and glares at him before laughing, “I’m not sure whether that’s smart or just petty Danny”.
After Danny finishes his shake the two go for a walk, “so Danny, now that I know my lifestyle isn’t a danger to you and that you’re being honest. Want to try the whole us thing again?”. Danny grins widely, “absolutely”. Then smirking to himself, “Paulina would totally be jealous”. Valerie shakes her head, “I’m not telling her I’m dating Phantom you moron”. Danny smacks her playfully, “Val think. Valerie and Danny date, Red and Phantom date”. Valerie starts laughing and Danny joins in, Valerie says through her laughter, “Wes is going to have a heart attack”.
“Good!”
End.

Friday, February 22nd : Crossover
Last week! I hope y’all have been left with a ton of reading you didn’t even know existed to begin devouring now! I’ll try to organize the crossover list by crossed over phandom
Marvel
A New Home by ilovepuppies125 | Sequel: Sweet 16
This one?? It's a GREAT crossover imo that I feel goes unnoticed in terms of Marvel themed and DP crossovers. It's about Tony Stark adopting Danielle, first to improve his image.
Why I love it? It's just a fantastic premise and it's well written. It's got a bit of a cheese to it, but it's a very charming cheese. Vlad is involved, and the entire way it's handled is just great. I love Dad!Tony, and seeing him with a Danielle who just really needs a family is adorable.
To Be A Hero by liketolaugh
Director Fury learns of Danny existing.
Why I love it? Honestly? The ending gets me. The ending just...I don't know how to describe it without spoiling it. But the ending, in my personal opinion, is the best out of all the Marvel “Danny gets recruited” style phics I've seen because it's just perfect.
Along Came A Spider by Lisa-24-7
Danny goes to New York with his friends on a class trip. Spiderman crossover based on the original Toby McGuire movies (don’t worry, Spiderman 3 didn’t even exist yet when this happened so we’re avoiding that nonsense)
Why I love it? Cute, unique idea! Some of the characters are a bit OOC, but the concepts and mesh of ideas and villains and Spiderman-Danny Phantom team up style story was just so good. It’s one of those nostalgia things for me, since it’s one of the first DP crossover fics I’ve ever read. It still holds up imo, despite some of the cheese that I now notice.
Fairly Odd Parents
A Visit to Amity Park by Anomaly25
This story. Is so old, and such a throwback that half of the series wasn't even canon or aired when this was written. So you'll have to forgive some of the “oddness” of it. It still really holds up though! It's about Timmy going with Vicky's family as they go to visit family in Amity Park.
Why I love it? Simply put, it's the first really, really good DP/FOP phic I've ever read. It's got great ideas, good pacing, FANTASTIC HUMOR. It's just? So good. I'm so sad that it's old, because I feel like due to it's age, people forgot about it, but it's still my main go-to DP/FOP crossover rec. It holds up so well, despite lots of canon events not even happening yet. It's funny too, and it feels like it could be a real crossover.
My Fairly Odd Parents by Youngbountygirl
Another go to recommendation for DP/FOP crossovers! It's about the idea that Cosmo and Wanda were Danny's fairly odd parents and he gets to be reunited with them.
Why I love it? It gave birth to one of my favorite lowkey headcanons that Danny had fairly odd parents, but lost them. It's just such an amazing way to tie two of Hartman's series together, and it's just such a cute little fic. Amazing ideas.
NCIS
Murder Most Spectral by CynthiaW
NCIS and DP crossover! Danny stumbled upon a crime scene while his parents are installing ghost shields in Virginia.
Why I love it? BEST DP/NCIS PHIC I'VE EVER READ, CHANGE MY MIND. It's SO FUCKING well done! There's lots of NCIS crossovers, and they're so good. This one really, really focuses and puts a lot of thought and energy into creating and writing, in depth, about a fake case. It reads and feels like a real NCIS episode. The characterization is flawless in both NCIS and DP. It's so good, pham.
House MD
The Paranormal Case by prophetofgreed
Danny goes into the hospital. House's hospital (House MD/DP crossover).
Why I love it? Holy shit. Holy shit, holy shit I don't want to spoil anything. I cannot rave about why I love this so much without spoiling EVERYTHING. Just read it. Pham, please. Just trust me and read it. Have faith in me, guys.
Delusional by Charmed-And-More
Danny is trapped in the hospital while his hometown is being taken over.
Why I love it? This has such a beautiful and accurate portrayal of House. It really feels like a potential crossover episode. I love Danny and House’s interactions and the main overarching story that landed Danny in the hospital to begin with. I really enjoy that it’s not just a Danny gets into the hospital, but that there’s more to the story. The ending kinda gets a bit cheese imo, but it’s still incredibly solid and the entire thing is a well paced, beautiful read.
Phineas and Ferb
Just a crazy day in Psychology by Deborahpflover
Phineas and Ferb and DP crossover where Jazz interviews Candace during a therapy session.
Why I love it? It's so well written. It's a fantastic little insight into the mind of Candace and helps explore why Jazz has such a great psychologist mind.
Teen Titans
Earthbound Spirit by TheTragicHero
Danny and Starfire bonding after Danny is betrayed by his friends to the GIW
Why I love it? Honestly, Tucker and Sam are OOC. But I'll accept it because it's rarely shown and it sets up such a fucking fantastic, angsty and beautiful plot. So well paced, fantastically written. It explores a friendship between Starfire and Danny as Starfire joins the Teen Titans and Danny as he struggles with whether or not he wants to continue being a hero post-being betrayed. Out of all the TT/DP crossovers, this one? This one sticks out in my mind. This one just hits me where it hurts and has taken residence in my heart as something truly special.
Gravity Falls
Specters and Swindlers by D3athrav3n92
Danny accidentally got hit into another dimension and basically hangs out with Stan from his being in prison up and into the events of Gravity Falls. Hnn breaking rules again because it's not done but fight me.
Why I love it? Guys. I know, I know, I know it sounds so weird. The premise is so odd and so unusual for what most people write for a GF/DP crossover. But Pham. Pham, it works so well. It's so fucking well written and captures an absolutely beautiful friendship between Danny and Stan. It eventually gets to him being such a protective and great caregiver to the twins. I love it. It's so good. I'm breaking all my rules today, fuck it. I love these fanfics man.
Harry Potter
Spellbound by Iymea
It's popular but I just NEED to talk about it??? It's so good. It's a FANTASTIC Harry Potter/DP crossover. It's about Danny getting into wizard legal magic trouble and being stuck at Hogwarts.
Why I love it? It just works into and builds upon the HP and DP worlds so well. It's so good, so well written, fantastically paced, great characterization and just...it's so good. Please read this. I beg you.
The Fenton Family Smirk by MechaYourOwn
GREAT ONESHOT CROSSOVER between HP/DP!! SO GOOD! It's about Danny being Harry's long lost twin brother.
Why I love it? It follows Danny going to Hogwarts following the death of his parents, and honestly? He reacts how I feel he'd realistically would about the whole thing. The entire beautiful charm in this is in that Danny is just so??? Snarky and anger in this, which fits him so well. Heavily recommend.
DC
Puppet by Pandemi
Oneshot where the Joker takes control of Danny using Freakshow style mind control.
Why I love it? The charm! It's got this great, well written aspect to it, combined with the great portrayals of Batman, Danny, the Joker, everything. It's an amazing oneshot!

Okay AAAAARGH when will this deadly illness end, srsly I REALLY want to play some goddamn games! At least I'm not in as much of a full on migraine meltdown as I was yesterday tho.. Or was it the day before yesterday...god I've just been trying to get whatever sleep I can. Thank you superior bed for healing me, AAAA So now I just have a lot of regular headaches and a bit of dizzyness and feeling feverish n stuff. Taking a lot of aspirins and trying yo finally get something to eat, and all. But also BEING SUPER IMPATIENT TO PLAY A GAMES!!! So, have some rambling ideas about my dumb Fabulous Dad OC! Okay, so his name is Iggy and he's Super Sweetheart, and I'm trying to pin down a Dad Theme for him, like we have the sporty one and the goth one and etc. I was thinking maybe he could be nerdy videogames dad? Or perhaps veterinarian dad, but apparently one of the dads works in a pet shop or something so that's kinda already taken... Also for NO REAL REASON I was thinking maybe he could be GHOST DAD Just cos I've been rewatching Danny Phantom and getting into the phandom again and thinking about all the wasted potential and stuff. Different ways the ghost worldbuilding could have worked, and I really like the idea of what if it was about helping the villain ghosts move on instead of just fighting them. A more slice of lifey emotion-focused version! And I was thinking about maybe a plot where Iggy came back as a ghost to protect his daughter, but he doesn't remember that he died, so its still kinda a similar 'half ghost half human' plotline but also with more ghost? COS I LIKE GHOST Also I like ANGST and HUGS ANYWAY, regardless of my random ideas for an original story to stick him in after I finish this game, I'm still super excited to play him in this game!!! Iggy will romance all the dads! Iggy will be dad to all the children's!! Iggy may or may not be a wraith from the underworld who wears cute kitty shirts!!! Oh man seriously imagine him dating Robert and its like 'let's go hunt for cryptids' *giant arrow pointing at Iggy right behind him* Or Iggy failing horribly at being goth compared to Damien, holy shit XD I love Iggy already, Iggy is my new best friend I HAVE TO FIND A STORY FOR THIS OC Oh oh oh and I know the game kinda doesn't have an option for this, but I was thinking maybe the protagonist's mysterious dead spouse could actually be Iggy's ex-wife? I started thinking up a whole backstory for him! His marriage with her was a short and failed one, but they remained bffs after the divorce and she was like the ultimate wingman trying to help him find a new love. And she was like an aunt to the family, even though she was Amanda's biological mother. She was still an important part of her daughter's life even though they didn't live together anymore, and Iggy still mourns her just as much as any of the other protagonists do. I just feel like it'd be even more sad in the intro this way. All we know about mystery deceased spouse is that story of how when Amanda was born/adopted, protagonist was freaking out thinking a car accident was a bad omen and they held his hand and told him everyone would be okay. And it was. I kinda think that'd be even more meaningful if they did end up breaking up afterwards, but things still WERE alright. They survived that 'disaster', they survived realizing they weren't made for each other, they still remained important people in each other's lives. That memory wasn't tainted by what happened, it was just recontextualized, kinda. So even though it feels impossible to live without her, Iggy and Amanda can survive this too. I'm sure that's what she'd want to say! Also, I just think we need to see more positive portrayals of ex-boyfriends and girlfriends in fiction. Its better to admit that things aren't working out, rather than stay in a loveless relationship. And it doesn't always have to be the end, it doesnt always have to be violent and horrible, you don't have to stop caring about each other as friends! And joint custody can totally work out, and doesn't have to be a horrible child support argument using your poor kid as some sort of betting chip... (Sigh.. My mum and dad..) SO YEAH! THATS MY THOUGHTS! And I think I wanna keep this ex-wife character even if I rewrite Iggy into his own story! Not sure about how to write a kid more endearing than Amanda, tho!

Random ass headcanons and AUs
(for @zimmerdouche who says they need some cheering up)
-Danny phantom AU where Bitty is Danny and Lardo and Chowder as his best friends and the rest of the SMH team are a group of chill Ghosts and maybe Bad Bob was the baddest of all (but now is a retired softy and everyone expects Jack to take up his shoes. But he doesn’t want to and Kent does it and maybe Shitty is like a human and Ghosts getting along activist and like idk it sounds cool in my head) -just imagine all of the soft pictures of Bitty that Jack takes constantly (in various states of undress) -The Void under the Haus is real. That’s all I’m saying. -I love every single rendition of Bitty going onto a cooking show and wiping out the competition who didn’t expect him to be as vicious as he actually is -Bitty’s MooMaw is Not Straight™ (pick up sexuality) and when Bitty brings Jack down (but is only out to his parents - which I will get to in a sec) MooMaw is immediately like “Dicky that’s a handsome boy you’ve got there, you better keep him.” and Bitty is shook and overwhelmingly happy because she means so much to him and knowing she doesn’t hate him is like literally the best -Suzanne is Bi and dated Alicia Zimmermann before Alicia dated Bob. Coach knew about it and didn’t care. They love Bitty so much -Going with that, imagine the first time the Zimmermanns and Bittles meet like, Alicia and Suzanne like it’s a good reunion cause they parted on a good note and they talk about all the crazy shit they did in college -Bad Bob has a book of bad jokes (gifted to him by Shitty) and he uses them all of the time -home videos of Jack and Bitty as kids. No. The whole smh team. They have a day where they just agree to be nostalgic and bring it all out (maybe at a reunion?) -The SMH Team has random sleepover reunions at Jack and Bitty’s house after they’ve all graduated. -Once Bitty moves in with Jack, he gets a couple pet bunnies -also when they’re out, Bitty’s snapchat story is 75% Jack and he gains so many followers so fast -Jack in Bitty’s vlogs. All of the boyfriend challenges ever. Like Jack is Bitty’s hands in one, voice over videos, Omfg imagine the couples yoga shit cause Jack is buff and Bitty is flexxxibleee (xxx on purpose). -I love the idea of Lardo moving in with Ransom and Holster in Boston after college and Shitty comes over a lot and anytime Jack plays in Boston they all hang out and like it’s a really good time. Imagine all the shit they get up to. They totally adopt a pet from a shelter. -Everyone on the SMH team has a painting from Lardo in their house somewhere -Bitty and Jack commission Lardo to paint a huge wedding picture for them -The SMH team always goes to the plays that Ford is apart of, usually multiple times, but they’re better with their voices now (but she gets soooooooo many flowers and baked goods) -the SMH team at the zoo or the petting zoo or any animal event. Jack donates so much money to local shelters. -Ford is trained under Lardo in the art of beer pong. She reigns Supreme and is like second best (cause Lardo is best best) -the SMH team love Ford so much and anytime she needs them like they are thereee, need hugs? There. Don’t have time to grab food one day but starving? There. feeling unsafe on campus one night? THERE! -I also have so accepted the Ransom and Holster doing safety walks with anyone who just would rather walk home with a strong guy by their side (cause honestly sometimes u just feel safer and it sucks but they understand and want to help) -Nursey and Dex going to see Chowder during the summer and Nursey pays for a lot despite Dex’s stubbornness cause Nursey is like “Chill it’s fine” (and they’re also dating at this point) -the smh team at Pride having an amazing time -Bitty and Jack being out and at Pride and Bitty is on Jack’s shoulders holding a pride flag up and Jack is wearing a Bi pride flag like a Cape and Bitty leans over to kiss Jack and it’s a series of pics in a row that Lardo caught of the sun on them just right and them smiling and laughing. -Chowder buys a stuffed pride shark. -Bitty on Ellen with Jack -Jack proposes on stage at a Beyonce concert. -Chowder and Farmer hanging out during the summer and being super cute -Chowder and Shitty are both very understanding during their SOs time of the month. They give lots of whatever they need including chocolates and massages and just like a shoulder to lean on. -Ransom and Holster finally realize their feelings for each other during their time living together in Boston. -during finals week, each team member takes turns like making sure everyone else is doing well and they all have a movie night and just a fun skate day to relax and go take walks and do arts and crafts and it’s good
