Made for Out Of The Auditary 2025 podfic fest :D

Thank you to finemeal for writing this fic and having a blanket permission for podfics <3

Nebula - cause they can glow green.

Or Wreath after the wreath nebula (or I guess Bernard would work as well in that case - I like wreath better, but Bernard would be a fun non-ghost name for it if could change like danny)

I missed Danny Cowboy, so I brought him back. He's pretty creepy. Why a skeleton horse? Because, why not?

Frequent readers of this blog will know that I've long held that "gen" fics are often considered an afterthought in fandom, and that it's assumed that anyone reading a fic is reading it for the romance. So I thought, what do we do on Tumblr when we feel something needs more attention in fandom? We do a challenge!

My thought is we do a "Gen Fics Week", where people will either write or recommend seven gen fics for seven themes. My thought for having recommendations being acceptable submissions is that one, it will open the participation up to non-writers, and two, it will allow writers to recommend fics they already wrote that didn't get enough attention. But, of course, this would all be pointless if I were the only one doing this, so here's a poll to gauge interest.

Podfic of Double Discovery is now finished!

All ten chapters of Double Discovery by @dp-marvel94 are now available to listen!

Fandom: Danny Phantom

Total Length: 3h 47min

Summary: After accidentally shooting Phantom with an anti-possession gun, Maddie finds she has a lot to learn about both Danny Phantom and Danny Fenton. Eventual Reveal Story.

Biggest thanks to dp-marvel94 for letting me do this <3 I loved every second of making this podfic ^^

Danny now has 2 secret identities.

First is Phantom - he cannot just vanish right after his death - that would be too suspicious. He is not sure if he wants to use his 'civilian' ghost to fight. Maybe he should become his own sidekick to fight off ghost attacks on school? It would save him from coming up with new excuses to slip out of class. 'I need to go to the bathroom' is earning him some odd stares and uncomfortable questions about ghost biology.

The other one is his still-alive body. He now has to pretend to be dead (the irony), but he still has human needs like hunger or sleep. Besides, he would like to use his body sometimes, since he still has one! He is considering telling his parents about his human needs - they already consider him a bit of an anomaly because he is sentient/sane, but he was kinda hoping to change their view on all the ghosts, so he doesn't want to make himself even more of an outlier.

The GIW use a device to forcibly transform Danny into Phantom in an attempt to unmask him to the public.

But thanks to some quick thinking and ghostly shapeshifting, Danny manages to make himself not look like Phantom.

Thus, everyone who isn’t already in the know assumes that the GIW just blatantly murdered some random kid because they thought he was a ghost (which doesn’t even make sense??).

So yeah now everyone is very strongly anti-GIW because What The Fuck, Guys. The Fentons are especially furious about this - just because Danny came back as a ghost and is somehow still sentient/sane (they’ll have to revisit that ghost research later…) doesn’t change that those bastards killed their son!!

A slightly angsty Merthur fic idea/ mini fic where a magic reveal goes slightly wrong, and Merlin and Arthur are captured by bandits. Things are still raw between both of them—think of their interactions in Diamond of the Day—but they’re stuck together anyway. They’ll have to depend on each other to escape (they will, but angst first).

The bandits know that Merlin has magic and give him cold iron shackles so he can’t use it. Worse, their leader is bragging how much coin they’ll get if they hand over their new sorcerer (Merlin) to Cenred.

Merlin’s fate seems to be uncertain: even if he escapes with Arthur, Arthur could still have him arrested for magic. Or he could end up being forced to fight for Cenred. (I think it’s headcanon that known sorcerers are forced to serve Cenred in Essetir and that’s partially why Merlin had gone to Camelot in the first place.)

So, as soon as they’re alone (in a cell or tied to trees away from the bandit camp), Merlin asks Arthur to kill him. (He would rather die than serve Cenred, and he knows execution probably awaits him in Camelot anyway.)

Arthur is obviously horrified that Merlin would ask him to do that. He asks why.

Merlin doesn’t bring up that he doesn’t really see a way out of this for himself. But he answers honestly: he doesn’t want his magic to be used as a weapon. (Merlin feels no loyalty to Uther, but he has no wish to harm Camelot or anyone else. *cue Nobody’s Soldier by Hozier*)

His answer is what brings Arthur to look at him fully again—stranger and friend, sorcerer and servant. (Basically Arthur goes from not recognizing the Merlin he thought he knew, to realizing he’s the same fool he’s always known.)

They escape later, and there’s much for Arthur to relearn about his friend, but they work together to bring magic back
