Randy didn’t know what the big deal was. Really, it was just a head injury. They always look way worse than they actually are, you know! He’s the Ninja - it comes with the job. But then again, he supposed if he had a Ghostly Obsession like Protection (or if he was in charge of the entire Magical World in North America), he wouldn’t exactly listen to logic if his friend was hurt, either.
(Randy takes a not-so-friendly hit to the head during a battle. He learns the hard way what a Ghost’s Obsession and Dragon’s Possessiveness looks like as a result.)

Summary: Later, Danny would say it started with an itch right below his shoulder blades, an itch that never seemed to go away. But in truth… the first sign was the corvids.
Prompt by @zomb1e-teethteeth Ever since the portal incident, most animals have been incredibly wary around Danny due to his pseudo-undead nature. Except for corvids, which have taken to flocking around him at all hours of the day. (PR395)

“Fetch, Cujo!” Standing in front of the fountain, Danny threw the stick, smiling as the green puppy ran after it. His eyes followed the figure. Soon, it disappeared through the trees. Disappeared…
The boy blinked, brow furrowing. “Cujo?” He called.
No response. Danny frowned. Maybe the dog did disappear, literally. It was a ghost after all.
“Come here, boy!” He tried again.
A bark sounded, a panting form running out of the trees. The boy perked up. Except… shaggy brown fur, longer legs, floopier ears. This was a different, definitely not ghostly, dog. Still, the animal trotted forward excitedly, a stick in its mouth. It slowed to a stop, five feet from Danny.
The half ghost held his hand out, eyes flickering to the collar. “Hey, where’s your owner?” He took a step forward.
But the dog shrunk back, whining.
Danny froze, shoulders falling. “It’s okay.” He tried to soothe.
The dog dropped the stick, before turning tail and running away.
The boy sighed. “That keeps happening.”
Sam’s cat, every dog he sees at the park, the rabbits and guinea pigs at the pet store, even the cows and sheep when he and his friends went to the county fair last month…. Even since the accident, most animals have been warry, even incredibly fearful towards him. Something in Danny’s heart clenched, disappointed. This really shouldn’t bother him. He’s not an animal person, never really had been. He’d never been interested in working with animals. He didn’t live on a farm, like his mom had growing up or like his aunt did now. He’d never even had a pet. So it didn’t really matter. It wasn’t a big deal. And yet…
Danny flopped heavily down onto the stone border around the fountain, frowning deeply. From the trees, echoing barks sounded. Soon, a little green dog came running out of the woods. Cujo yipped happily, dropping his stick. Then the dog ran up to Danny. Hoping up on his back legs, Cujo planted his front legs in Danny’s lap and started licking the boy’s hand.
His lips slowly stretched into a smile. He scratched the dog’s head with his free hand. “At least you like me.”
Cujo yipped again, before jumping up to sit on Danny’s lap. The boy patted his dog for a long moment. Yeah, at least, ghostly animals didn’t have any problem with him, even their living counterparts always ran away or cowered in fear.
Or so Danny thought…
So lost in his thoughts, the boy didn’t notice the ruffle of feathers beside him. Then… there was a chirp. The half ghost turned his head and… there, not a foot from him, was a young raven, its black feathers glistening in the sun.
Danny held his breath, waiting for it to let out a distressed cry, to fly away in fear. But instead… shiny black eyes fixed on him. The raven tilted its head, almost curious.
The half ghost’s brow furrowed. He tensed as the bird hopped forward. What was it doing? Another hop and…the boy gasped, surprised. Smooth black feathers brushed up against his arm.
Danny looked down, gapping in surprise. The bird had sat down beside him. Beady eyes gazed up at him as well before blinking. The raven looked away, shifting slightly, as if to get more comfortable. One of its wings brushed his leg. A curious chirp, just like before, exited its throat.
With wide, confused eyes, the half ghost looked between the dog and the bird. Cujo wagged his tail, having only eyes for Danny as the boy patted him; he hadn’t even noticed the bird. The raven chirped a third time.
Danny’s brow furrowed. What did this bird want? It ruffled its feathers, instantly brushing up against him. And… the boy blinked. He had an idea…
Tentatively, so tentatively, he reached down. A finger touched the black feathers and… the bird instantly relaxed into the touch. It let out a low humming sound, eyes softly closing. It squeezed once, as Danny gently stroked its wings, before it kept humming.
Something in his core leapt. It sounded…. Happy, he thought. Danny continued petting the soft black, feathers. It looked like all living animals didn’t hate him after all.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The raven stayed by his side long after Cujo hopped off his lab and started chasing his tail. The bird stayed until the sun went down and Danny had to go home. But the next time he came to the park, it returned.
“Hey there.” Danny greeted as it swopped down, handing on his outstretched hand. He gently scratched its beak, eliciting a pleased thrum.
The raven hung around as he played with Cujo that day. Then, when he transformed, it flew with him back to his house, landing on the tree outside his window as he phased inside and turned back into a human. The bird stayed there all night, waking him up with loud caws in the morning. Danny glared out the window and… instead of one bird looking at him through the window, there were two.
That first raven had gained a friend, now a pair of birds that followed him on his flight to school. But soon, two birds became three, became five, became ten, became twenty. A whole flock. Soon, a whole flock of ravens and crows followed Danny wherever he flew. Whenever he flew. And sometimes… when he kept his feet firmly planted on the ground as well.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In class, Danny slumped in his seat, a bored expression on his face. The lecture went in one ear and out the other as his eyes drifted to the window. It was such a nice day outside, sunny but pleasantly cool. A crow flew by, letting out a caw before it landed on the tree, joining two more of its brethren on the highest branches.
The corner of Danny’s lip ticked up, watching the group. The newcomer flapped its wings, fluffing out the feathers. It titled his head, its cloudy unfocused eye now becoming visible to Danny. The bird lowered its beak to each feather as it started grooming. That bird preened for a bit before hopping over on the branch and investigating something near the tree trunk.
The movement disturbed one of the other birds, both of which had been sleeping with wings sheltering their heads from the light. One bird suddenly poked its head up, letting out an undignified squak. It hopped to its feet and started chittering unhappily at the bird that had disturbed it.
Danny slowly smiled at the antics. Man, those birds were something. Ever since they’d started hanging out around him, he’d started to notice little quirks of behavior. The bird that had just woken up, the one he’d dubbed Mango in his head, was very feisty when bothered. The cloudy eyed one, Cotton-eyed Joe, liked to bring him candy wrappers. And the last bird, the one who was still asleep… that was Vax. And Vax loved beak rubs.
The boy sighed fondly. Earlier, he’d thought he wasn’t much of an animal person but boy, did he love watching those birds. He loved discovering their personalities. He loved picking out silly names. Sure, being followed around when he was a human was stressful; at first he’d worried about his secret. But the birds never seemed to follow him into any building. Except, well…
A soft snore could barely be made out, coming from Danny’s bookbag. One bird had taken to following him much more closely. That first young raven to approach him, a juvenile he called Maggie, liked to snuggle up in his bag. Or on his shoulder. Or in his hair.
Danny glanced down at the bag, smirking. Yeah, having to hide said bird from his parents and teachers was annoying but… his laughter as the small beak picked through his hair, a fond smile as Maggie snuggled against his cheek. It was definitely worth it.
The boy looked out the window again. Yes, he really did love those birds. Not only was it nice to be around animals that weren’t terrified of him but… he watched as Vax poked its head up and with a caw, flew off the branch. Really, the best part was getting to fly with them.
Sure, it was annoying and stressful when they got in the way during a ghost fight, except… he held back a fond chuckle. Skulker had learned the hard way not to mess with his birds.
There were more caws as the other two birds lifted off the branches, flying away. Danny’s core twisted at the sight. It was such a nice day… he wished he was out there, flying with his birds. He wished he was soaring through the sky, surrounded by excited calls and fluttering black feathers, instead of land-bound, stuck in this classroom.
Danny glanced at the clock, just another hour. Then he could take a short flight before getting started on homework.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Hey, Danny? You wanna go to the Nasty Burger.” Tucker asked.
Well… he was gonna go for a flight. “Sure.” Danny shrugged. He’d just go later.
Sam joined the boys, the trio walking towards the doors. Danny’s backpack gently swayed with the movement. A chirp sounded from inside. The boy blinked, surprised for a moment. Then… oh, Maggie must have woken up.
Once the teens were on the steps, the half ghost took the bag off and gently placed it on the floor. Carefully, he reached inside and pulled out the bird.
“Hey there.” Danny murmured fondly, scratching the bird right below the beak.
Maggie hummed, pleased, before hopping onto its feet. With a flap, it moved to Danny’s shoulder, then his head. The half ghost chuckled at the action.
Careful to not dislodge the bird, he bent down to grab his bookbag. He swung the pack onto his back, addressing his friends. “Come on, guys.”
Sam and Tucker both glanced at the bird but didn’t comment, used to the new oddness. They did, however, yelp and duck when the trio were dive-bombed by a hurricane of feathers.
Danny just laughed, grinning at the onslaught. Suddenly, two birds landed on him, one of each shoulder. “Storm, Luna.” He addressed, recognizing them. Each bird bent down, gently grabbing his shirt. The bird on his left shoulder started flapping. “Not now, guys.” He chuckled.
Another bird fluttered in front of him, cawing insistently. “I can’t go flying with you right now.” Danny waved the birds off. “Later, Poe, okay?”
The bird seemed to understand, even if it let out a sad warble and sagged in the air. Poe flew up, the two birds on Danny’s shoulders following. The half ghost tilted his head up, watching the flock rising through the air. His shoulders fell. Despite the fact he’d told them to go… his core still clenched uncomfortably, wanting to fly with them.
“Man, they were really excited today.” Tucker commented with a chuckle.
“Yeah.” Danny said mildly.
Sam noticed the reaction, the wistful look in his eye. “What is it?”
The half ghost bit his lip, glancing at the retreating forms. “Oh umm.. It’s nothing.”
The goth raised a brow. “You sure? You’ve that look in your eye.”
Danny hesitated. Then… “I’ve just…. Been itching to fly since the beginning of last period.”
Tucker frowned, looking towards the cloud of black feathers. “Why didn’t you tell us? We can go to the Nasty Burger later.”
The other boy shook his head. “No, it’s fine.” He waved his hand, dismissing the concern. “I can alway go flying later.”
Even as he said the words, his core squeezed uncomfortably. The thought of staying grounded for the next few hours…. It made him suddenly feel almost unbearably heavy. He glanced towards the sky, one last time. He really did want to fly, just for a bit. A muscle in his back twitched oddly at the thought.
Danny shook his head, dismissing the feeling. “Come on.” He walked faster, the movement jostling Maggie who lifted off his head and followed after the rest of the flock. The half ghost tried not to frown at the action; the bird would be back. “I bet you guys are starving, I know I am.”
Later, there would be time to spread his metaphorical wings, for his head to get lost in the clouds. But for now… his friends were beside him, his feet planted firmly on the ground.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sadly, Danny didn’t get to fly anytime soon. Just as he was leaving the Nasty Burger, his parents called. They wanted him home asap; he needed to help his dad clean out the shed. After was family dinner. Then Jazz insisted on helping him study for his math test, refusing to leave him alone until he agreed. Before he knew it, it was time to get ready for bed.
Sighing disappointedly, Danny looked out the window. The clear, star filled sky. The wind, gently rustling the leaves on the trees. And…his birds. The corner of his lip sank down, as it almost always did these days, the tree in front of his window housed a large portion of the flock. Beady black eyes peered at him through the window.
And Danny’s core clenched, longingly. The day had been long, almost achingly so. His body felt too heavy, too earth-bounded. He wanted to be outside in the sky, flying.
“After Mom and Dad go to bed.” The boy whispered to himself.
He couldn’t afford to get caught missing if his parents checked on him after he was supposed to go to sleep. But… he couldn’t go another night stuck on the ground. He needed to stretch his muscles. He needed to fly.
Danny laid down on his bed, with the lights out and waiting. 11:30. 11:45. Midnight. The lights down stairs turned off, the sounds of his parents’ voices quieting. Another fifteen minutes and…
The half ghost grinned, almost leaping out of bed. His powers tried to boost him, in his excitement. His core strained to lift him off the ground but he barely lifted five inches. He was much too heavy for that as a human. So the half ghost transformed. With a burst of light, he was light as air. Effortlessly, he lifted off the ground and phased through the window.
Instantly, the birds on the other side noticed. They chattered excitedly in greeting. On another occasion, Danny would have shushed them, worried about the commotion waking his parents. But tonight, he beamed. This was going to be amazing.
“Come on!” The ghost boy took off, rocketing through the sky.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Flying was Danny’s favorite power, his favorite thing about being a ghost. It always had been, even since he drifted up through his ceiling a week after the accident and realized he couldn't just levitate, he could fly. He could fly. And it was… breath-taking, freeing, incredible.
Danny breathed deeply, awed as he took in the scene. His town, Amity Park, dimly lit and stretched out below him. The crystal stars hanging above him. It was awe-inspiring. Up here, so far away from the world, he felt free. Like he could go anywhere, do anything. For just a moment, his problems melted away, unable to touch him. He was free, just him and the sky.
The flutter of feathers pulled Danny out of his thoughts, his eyes drifting down from the stars to the air around him. The boy smiled softly. No, it wasn’t just him and the sky.
Danny’s eyes drank in the sight. The sparkle in the birds’ eyes. Their excited calls. The way their feathers glissen in the moonlight. The bird swirled around him, loving flight just as much as he did.
And yet it was so different from how he himself flew. As a ghost, flying was effortless. He was light as air, like an astronaut in space. He just thought about where he wanted to go and his body would move there. It was freeing, simple, completely natural. His ghostly body ignored gravity just as easily as his human body breathed.
But the birds… they have to fight against gravity. They pumped their wings, muscles straining, hearts beating wildly to lift them above the ground. They caught updrafts, moved with the wind to fly. The wind moved through their feathers, caressing their wings in a way it never did for him as a ghost.
Danny floated, stationary while the flock flowed around him. They swooped and dived in a complicated dance. Ordered, carefully controlled chaos. Not ignoring gravity but defying it.
His core sang at the sight. It was beautiful. So beautiful. And so different from how he flew. And yet, he got to share it with them, one of the few people who ever would. This freedom, this miracle, he got to share it with them, even if ghostly flight was different, a pale imitation even, of their flight. And yet….
The half ghost could almost imagine it, the sensation of feathers ruffled by the wind.
It was then, Danny’s back started to itch.
In your opinion, how long would team snakemouth + team Maki + team slacker + team mothiva last if they had to fight ghost, hornet, and hollow. How fast would the entire group get steamrolled?
Oo! Fun question that makes me think
They'd probably put up a pretty good fight! Especially team Maki and Slacker since both hit like trucks (so does Holly, but I'll get to that in a second) Team Mothiva would probably be the first to get picked off, considering you beat them twice in game, so I guess they'd be the weakest out of the four? And while Zasp is fast, idk if he's quite as fast as Hornet or fast enough for Holly's teleporting. And Mothiva is wet paper at hand to hand combat.
Kabbu's weapon being his horn is probably an issue, seeing as the siblings use metal weapons that are probably made to get through shell. And seeing as most bugs aren't wearing armor, and those that are in HK you typically beat the shit out of them until they reveal the fleshy parts (False Knight) or those with shields you have to move fast enough to get around the shield.
And Kabbu, my dear, your horn is not made of metal.
Leif has the slight advantage of using mainly magic so he can stay away from the worst of the fight (same with Mothiva, another magic user, and Yunna), but I'm not sure ice would deter the siblings too too much. (Especially if we're going with my long fic where Ghost shares a body with Radi) and idk how Vi would hold up. Probably not that great. To use her weapon she has to fling it, which means it can be broken or caught when she does so, and then she's out of a weapon.
Maki himself has the misfortune of using a piece of plastic as a sword, against three bugs all using metal weapons. Team Maki and Slacker im not gonna get that far into considering I've never beaten them.
Now to the siblings
I'm gonna go with my full grown Ghost for this.
So, the Ghost has the same fighting style I do, which is hit as fast and hard as you can, tank some hits if you have the masks. And if you get overwhelmed. Descending Dark everything.
Considering none of the Bugaria bugs have AOE spells (to the best of my memory) or at least not super strong ones, both Holly and Ghost each have one AOE spell. Hornets is smaller, but id imagine it'd still really hurt to get caught up in thread that's whipping around like crazy.
But with both Ghost and Holly being decently heavy magic users as well as melee combatants, and using both rather fluidly, it'd probably take a while to figure out the tells between a blade coming for your face or a spell. Especially if you're trying to focus on taking one of them down and the other either blindsides you or uses a spell. There's also the fact that both are tall and aside from maybe going for the fleshy part of their joints, most of their vulnerable points are above your head. Especially Holly with the missing arm.
There's also Ghost's nail arts, which if they're already really tall and probably wield a weapon taller than you, are terrifying to see, especially cyclone slash. So they could probably hop away from the fight for a moment for whatever reason, charge up an attack, and then suddenly they'd be in the middle of the fight and probably hitting sever bugs with one swipe.
Holly also has some generally large, sweeping swipes that would probably hit several bugs, as well as the ability to teleport. The teleporting and Ghost just generally being able to dash through attacks would probably throw you off pretty quick.
Hornet is the non magic user of the three, which isn't really too big of a deal cause all three are mainly melee fighters. She has the joy of setting up traps on the fly. And while Ghost can fly, she'd probably wind up being mostly airborne in this fight. With there being areas she can probably haul herself up off the ground, it probably wouldn't be too surprising for her to not be there one second, and suddenly someone is nearly speared the next second. But also it would be amusing if she could wrap her string around someone and use that to toss them, maybe to Ghost or Holly.
Both her and Holly will occasionally block and parry hits, the siblings mostly focus on trying to get hit as little as possible, and just having to deal with it when they do get hit.
(I would ramble on Hornet more but I've been largely avoiding SilkSong trailers cause I would like to go into it as blind as possible.)
Now the Bugaria bugs are probably tankier, seeing as dodging isn't an option in game and you just block hits. So the siblings would most likely have to hit, be blocked, and then move fast enough to get an actual hit in before their attacks can be blocked again. And the teams have the virtue of being, well, teams, and having stronger moves that rely on working with each other while the siblings tend to be loners and are probably more competitive with each other.
All that said, the Teams would put up a good fight! But they'd still get steamrolled faster than their normal fights. After all, this is ten against three.
But it's ten against two godlings, one with ages of protecting a dead kingdom against thieves and infected bugs that have no issue hitting as hard as possible. The other godling being born and raised and trained by the kingdoms best knights to contain an angry, bitter goddess, and even when infected, still had the strength to fight back against her.
And also against the young god of gods, who ascended when much smaller and weaker. And is also a certified gremlin.
This is all negated if someone breaks Ghost's mask and let's out the Lord of Shades. Then everyone has a whole nother problem.
Hey you want some angst? There's some really cool art done by hannahblock-art that has Danny in an "anti ecto casket" so please consider. Jason is just driving home from a mission or something and is passing through some woods about an hour outside Gothem when he suddenly feels something brush up against his mind, not unlike a Martian, and the voice is crying for help. Jason nearly crashes his bike when it happens and quickly turns around to figure out what the fuck just happened.
Jason follows the pull and quiet cries for help through the woods and into an old, old cemetery. After all, the Fenton parents couldn't bury what was left of their baby so close to the portal a spoon would surely get his body. Jason follows the pull until he is standing over a fresh grave with no headstone and he realizes the pull is coming from below him.
First of all, this is the art mentioned.
Second, this is so good and I have so many questions. First: did Danny die when the portal opened? Was it later in his life? If it was later, how did he die?
The idea that the portal would eventually consume his body is SUCH a good idea. The Fentons burying Danny in an unmarked grave? Even sadder. How long has Danny been in the coffin? The ground is freshly dug. I looked up how long it would take for dirt to settle and my results were very inconclusive. The main results said anywhere from 2-7 years. Years.
How long was Danny in the casket? In Gotham it’s almost always raining. The ground would at least be muddy and harder to move if it’s been less than a week. That’s just a week though. Danny is a halfa/ghost now. He’s ghosty enough to survive but weak enough that he’s unable to escape the anti ecto casket. Danny sits for…. Days? Months? Years? He was unable to tell how long he laid in the casket. It feels like it’s been weeks since he’s stopped crying. He can see from the reflective roof of the coffin that his tears glow a bright green. No matter how much he tries to scrub the tears away, the permanent green tear tracks that now mar his face continues to glow a dim unearthly green light.
When Jason finds him, what’s happened to this boy? How far does he have to dig? Is it a shallow or far deeper grave than normal? Does Jason get attacked by any anti ecto failsafe traps? What does he use to dig to Danny? How long does it take? Does the crying become more desperate and louder the closer Jason gets to the casket?
What does poor Danny hear when he’s in the casket? Is he saying words with the mind link or is it just general emotion/ideas? Has he given up speaking at this point and is it just cryingV Can he feel the mind link he sent Jason? Can he hear Jason sending back thoughts of help and the need to protect? Does he have a stable mental link that he talks back and forth and consoles and calms Danny as he’s doing his best to dig to Danny as fast as he can?
What happens when Danny gets out? This kid has been dead and is weak as hell from his attempts to escape. The lack of ectoplasm and human food has left him incredibly weak and possibly malnourished. Either way Jason scoops the boy into his arms and holds him tightly to his chest and mutters comforting words and sends “You’re Safe. It’s Ok. I’m Here. It’s Over Now. You’re Free.” as a mantra through the mind link. The boy who forever cries weeps into his shoulder as he hugs Jason much tighter than someone trapped without food or water for days should be able to. Jason isn’t worried that the boy is crying, the tears he sheds are no longer of hopelessness and grief, but one’s of relief and happiness.
Jason kisses the top of Danny’s head as he starts to drift off to sleep, wrapped in the arms of a stranger that made him feel the safest he’s felt in years. The man exudes warmth. God, Danny hasn’t felt this warm in… when’s the last time he’s felt warm? Cold seems to permanently seep itself into his bones now. In the coffin he could never escape the cold.
Jason continued to cradle Danny in his arms long after the boy went to sleep. The strange tears seemed to permanently scar and discolor tracks down his eyes and the tips of his fingers. Jason could see the green glow peeking through the cracks in his hand that covered the kids. Jason slowly got up from his kneeled position making sure to not jostle Danny.
Jason only had his bike. Thank god that Bruce designed this bike to have an near silent exhaust. Carefully maneuvering the sleeping kid onto the bike and using some grappling hook wire to ensure that the kid won’t fall off on the road, Jason gets on the bike himself and starts driving to his apartment.

Danny Phantom Fanfic Recs
Okay, these are all either multi-chapter fics, or series that contain multiple connected one-shots. A separate list for singular one-shots will go up sometime later. I’m not tagging anyone because I’m not sure if some authors even have a Tumblr.
Completed fics are marked with 👻, and in-progress fics are marked with ❌
Keep in mind that these are in no particular order of interest, just whichever ones I strongly recommend as I go back through my reading history. All of these are T at the most, and if there is an M somewhere it’s probably for violence or graphic-ness.
(we are) the fault line by iguessyouregonnamissthepantyraid 👻 - Slow burn found family with Vlad regretting past decisions and getting more depth than just “mwahaha I’m going to turn you into the perfect son!!!!” Also Danny speaks in like, two chapters toward the end, and I think that’s quite a bold move to have the quip-dealer so quiet.
Shivers by JadeNoRyuu 👻 - There’s follow-ups, but the main story is really interesting. I also don’t know if the writer’s first language is English, but that makes it even more commendable.
Epiphany by TorScrawls 👻 - Maddie and Jack get character development, and that makes Danny panic lol. There are separate epilogues.
Broken Ectoplasm by ghostanimal 👻 - Very nice story, more Parental Angst, and Danny is incapable of speech for almost all of it. Jack realizes how much of an ass Vlad is without Vlad knowing.
Bitter by thatgirl_youknowtheone ❌ - Vlad fucking poisons Jack at the man’s own b-day party. Jack does not realize he is dead, angst ensues when Danny tells him.
Temper Tantrums by attu 👻 - Lore for my girl Dorathea! Also Danny gets to be a dragon!
Mortified by Marsalias ❌ - Honestly if you haven’t read some of this one yet, go. Read it. Edit: It is very long chapter-wise (over 230), but the chapters are a bit short.
Three note chords (series) by Hazama_d20 👻 (series is marked as incomplete, but all uploaded fics are completed) - Ember wants to spend a day in Amity, Danny needs help with a talent show. ~Can I make it any more obvious~
Half Dead Phoenix by SilkNettle ❌ - Trelawney shenanigans. Danny is confused, but he’s not gonna complain about the people giving him a bed. Danny cannot use a wand.
Ghost Kings and Gotham Bats by BlueGhostCardinal ❌ - Ghost King Danny, obviously, but he finds out in an interesting way. Also has Bad Parents Jack/Maddie, so watch out for that.
Weirdward by DarkNymfa 👻 - The OotP needs help, and Muggle ghosts are very strange. Danny can use a wand.
Darcy and the Phantom (Link to first fic, but it is part of a series) by Honyasbookshelf 👻 (series is incomplete, this one is completed) - Danny is sleep-deprived and Darcy carries a taser. Jane is also Danny’s astrophysics hero.
Summoned King AU (series) by Enigmaris ❌ - HYDRA summonings, but he’s in human form every time. The Avengers help him out until Loki tags along and Knows immediately.
Ghost in the NYC (series) by ASharksReadingGlasses 👻 - While I love good parents Jack and Maddie, this one just has Good Dad Jack and Questionable Logic Maddie. Also Spidey and the OG DP, aka Deadpool, accidentally-on-purpose-kinda-sorta adopt him. NOW COMPLETE WITH BONUS EPISODES TO COME!!!
Icebound by Pandemi 👻 - Very neat Justice League fic, I love the premise of Flash fighting… well, just read it.
The Ghost of Heroes by Enigmaris 👻 - MCU crossover. This is in the same vein as Mortified for me. If you haven’t read it, GO READ IT.
Whirlwind, Reflections, and Mirrored by Lynse 👻👻👻 - All involve different parts of the Secret Trio (Danny Phantom, Jake Long, and Randy Cunningham), but Whirlwind throws Chat Noir in there for spice.
Legless on Maim by GothMoth 👻 - This one is mostly for the sake of “hey, that doctor in Venom is named Dan! Let’s have fun with that.” It’s also got ridiculously long chapters, but I don’t really mind so this is more a warning for anyone who frequently says, “Just one more chapter.” Honestly, you’re probably going to see a lot of GothMoth on the one-shot list. I love the memes.
Phantom City by inukagome15 👻 - Teen Titans crossover. I guess more light-hearted? Still dealing with Dan Trauma, but… someone helps. It’s great. :)
Family and Friends by lauraeb5 👻 - Ah, immortal Danny. Who makes friends with a much-loved winter spirit of fun! And angst happens later! >:3c
Recognized by AgentIanLegend 👻 - IDENTITY SHENANIGANS WITH ROBIN!! Seriously, I had to take breaks to be like, “okay who’s who? What happened? What’s happening?” And BAM (Bad Ass Mother) Maddie!!!!
Scenes from chapter 16 of my fanfic Vacation Crashers! This chapter was really fun. Now if I can keep it up! Vlad's hard to draw.. the jerk..
