Dead people in ATLA either reincarnate or stay as ghosts until they’re ready to do so. There is no afterlife just as there are no gods. The closest thing to gods ATLA has is spirits but if the Spirit World was the afterlife, I think there would be a lot more humans around when Avatars visit. Iroh’s only there because he went in before he died.
Zuko knows why his mother left because Grandfather Azulon is still there as a ghost to tell him Ursa poisoned him to save Zuko’s life. He was going to haunt Ursa until he realized Zuko could see him and haunted him instead. Surprise, surprise, the guy who ordered the death of his grandson is a dick.
There are many servants dead by Ozai’s wrath in the palace. Their ghosts teach Zuko to stay quiet and fade into the background where it’s safe.
When Lu Ten dies, he regrets that he wasn’t able to save his young cousins from Ozai. Lu Ten stays a ghost and mentors Zuko in combat, bending, and strategy.
When the 41st Division die despite Zuko’s protests, and Zuko himself is burned and banished, the 41st Division find out Zuko defended them and stay ghosts to teach him all they can.
Zuko’s able to escape before the pirates hired by Zhao blow up his ship because the ghosts haunting the pirates warn him. This doesn’t change the plot, but it does save Zuko some pain.
Aang is followed/haunted by Monk Gyatso while Sokka & Katara are followed/haunted by Kya.
Hello I'm finally back sorry to bother you I have no idea it's horror
All protective or city spirits have secondary forms they use to seem more scary and terrifying to protect their haunts or people
Danny's form has like two faces one that looks like his normal human face with blue eyes but little dots are green in it and the secondary part of his face looks like it's covered in green scales as his white hair look like it's wet but it's also covered in like snow he's on his back and has like six arms that help him crawl around and has clothing that's made out of stars
When you first meet him he looks like his normal Phantom form just a tiny bit threatening and docile but if you considers you to be a threat he will turn into the other form I just described
Anywho the Au is a ghost like Ember or GhostWriter end up getting found by the Justice League who considers this to be a way to actually see if ghosts are actually a threat that need to be taken out.
And they end up taking them to Amity Park where the Giw has gotten so bad that Danny has had to take extreme measures to his protect people
Ember or GhostWriter that are introducing them to Danny I like oh yeah you have to wait to make sure Phantom evaluates or not if you're like a threat to the town he's going to look a little scary though why he does it
JL: A Threat To The Town also how scary can one ghost can be
Zatanna ,Constantine , and Dr.Fate in the background knowing being well how scary they can be cuz they fZatannaall accidentally before pissed off a city ghost is to evaluate or not if they were a threat
The entire Justice League is met by Danny's other scarier form cuz they haven't been answering the city's calls and because of that he had no idea or not if they were Friend or foe
Also I headcannon that Danny doesn't like Dr Fate because of the body possessing thing and pretends to rip him out of Disney and his father's body in front of everybody and then let them into the city just imagining Dr.Fate getting the daylight beat out of him and Zatanna's Dad just doesn't have a scratch on him
There's also lots of other beings inside of like Amity Park that are considered to be liminal or neverborns that are staying there for their own protection like Klarion it's like an entire camp half blood situation or like liminals and young never borns are just all in everybody Park chilling
I'm happy to see that you're writing again don't mean that meanly
ᕙ(@°▽°@)ᕗ
Thanks! I'm glad to be getting back into writing. I kinda hit a writer's block pretty hard so I'll probably be writing less than usual really.
I do like your idea tho. City spirits having multiple faces as they need them to protect what/who is most precious to them is an excellent idea and definitely something that would be interesting to cover. I might do something about it later but right now I can't think of anything specific.
I do love the backwards spider crawl idea just to spook people on purpose. XD That seems like fun. But Danny trying to scare trouble makers away before fighting them makes me imagine the townspeople also trying to scare the crap out of Outsiders either for funzies or wariness after the GIW issue they had. Just everyone deciding "Fuck it, we're Halloween Town now."
I made something traditional for once. ^^
Don't steal or repost, please.

Fic Rec master post!
This is the fourth time damian brought the college student over.
Damian, despite being 14, has been accepted to a gifted school as he had already been taught in the most subjects one usually learns at a slower pace.
(He still gets a headache over the fact his son won't get a normal childhood.)
Which is how he befriended the 17 year old Daniel, an overworked and sleepdeprived college student, getting dragged along and following with no complaint.
Bruce is, even if he wanted damian to befriend someone more around his own age, very welcoming of the student.
Alfred made sure the boy took enough food with him home, always leaving the mansion at point 4 pm.
It really shouldn't have been surprising when Bruce Wayne, yes, THE Brucie Wayne, summoned him to his office.
Danny entered the room fidgeting, giving a nervous smile to the man behind the desk and questioning what he did wrong to offend the patriarch of the family.
(Lies and slander, we, the readers, are fully aware that Alfred is the patriarch.)
"Uh— hi, Mr. Wayne." He sat when gestured to the chair, shitting bricks with how nervous he's.
The man nods in greeting, smiling. "Hello Danny–"
"Please don't kill me!" The teen in question blurts out, flushing in embarrassment once registered.
Taken aback and startled, Bruce snorts, stifling laughter by putting a hand against his mouth.
Shit.
"I don't know what I did! Very sorry if I offended someone!" He rambles, panicking and waving his hands around.
"Danny—"
"I must have done something! Why else would you call me? Oh god– I'm gonna be murdered by THE Brucie Wayne!"
At this point, the rich guy in front of him is barely restraining himself from laughing, trying his best to stay professional.
"Danny–! I- I won't murder you." He reassured, eyes crinkling from smiling.
"But–" he sniffs, both embarrassed and teary.
"I'm not gonna— danny." Bruce sighs, which sounds a lot like a choke, really. "Look, I just wanted a 1-on-1 talk with you about your friendship with damian and some concerns."
"Oh."
"Yes, oh."
Danny sighs in relief at this. "I can do some good old interrogation–" "it's not an interrogation–" "totally interrogation."
He huffs lightly, getting comfortable in his chair and preparing himself mentally.
"Alright Mr. Wayne! Shoot me!"
(Was that a pun? A joke to murder? Really?)
The man clears his throat, straightens his back and looks serious as he was before the accusations of murder.
"What are your intentions with damian and why become friends in the first place?"
Blinking, the teen brightens. "Oh, that's easy! Damian needs a friend. We just kinda clicked after I scared away a few pesky bullies."
Then he shrugs. "Besides, it's great training."
"Training?" Bruce asks, curious, tone light in the way that shows he's very interested.
"Yes. Despite his badly hidden murderous tendencies, love for knives, and slight lack of slang language and knowledge, he's still a kid." He nods.
"A young teen that goes through teen stuff that I barely remember going through and now get to relearn will be handy once Ellie becomes a teenager herself."
Batman was filing the information away, but Bruce kept going.
"Ellie?" He questions.
"My daughter– has damian not mentioned her? We always leave around 4 to get her from my sister. Sometimes, dami stays over for a few hours!"
Ah. Well. Seems like Alfred will have to make more food for the teen now.
"Would you like to stay for dinner today?" He asks, "Bring your daughter too. We won't mind you joining us." smiling and already planning for the new adjustments to make.
"On another note, what are your and your daughters preferences? Any allergies?"
Danny didn't even agree yet, not that he was gonna— mind you.
"No allergies, soft foods only, easy to eat." He answers, listing the stuff from the top of his head.
In a whirlwind of– of planning dinner?? Danny is out of the door and wide eyed.
"What just happened?"
(On the other side, Bruce face-palms, having forgotten to ask what age Ellie is. Damn in Bruce.)
—
On the fifth visit, Danny stayed for dinner.
Damian must know the age, for there are bowls with freshly cut fruits, yoghurt, and rice mixed with veggies and chicken.
On that note, where is damian?
Dick meets his eyes, asking the same quetsion with a look.
Just as Bruce was gonna ask, the door opened, and the cutest picture to ever exist was created.
(Dick RIPPED his phone out of his pocket, swiping a picture of the scene as fast as possible.)
Steph can't hold back the coos at the sight of Damian walking with a toddler into the dining room, her tiny feet propped up on his and in hand together.
She's wearing a Robin onesie and he is wearing his (stolen) Nightwing hoodie.
"Sorry, hope we aren't late!" Danny waves with a grin from behind the pair.
"You aren't, just perfect, in fact." Bruce reassures, waving the teens over to the free seats.
Damian leads the two to his seat, making sure they're next to him.
The conversation during dinner is one spoken fondly, Cass likes to make Ellie laugh with silly faces, Duke and Steph "secretly" feed her tiny pieces of strawberry and Dick is in a rather passionate discussion with both Tim and Danny.
Damian, once he makes sure no one is watching him, wipes the mess from Ellies face.
(Bruce was watching, looking away once damians face snapped to him. He wasn't aware his youngest had such a soft spot for toddlers.)
(It takes a while, but Danny and Ellie become family like every other person, while having not slept over yet, Alfred already has prepared a room for the two in the Family wing.)
(It's barely a week after that everyone bought and gifted him onesie's of their hero personas, with the excuse of them being the gotham vigilantes when questioned. After all, the Robin can't be a one man team.)
—
The Nightwing and his Robin.
Danny Fenton is reborn as Danyal al Ghul, Damian's older brother. He dies young and returns with memories of his past life in tact, which leads him on a long journey away from one home and to another. Damian, meanwhile, is searching for his long lost brother while trying to care for Ellie, the niece left to him by Danyal before his second disappearance, and the rest of the family is struggling to hold things together.
all parts will be linked on this post! please don't ask to be tagged, just check here occasionally for new updates
the beginning - danny
the lost brother - damian
title from this excerpt of Ada Limón's "To the Busted Among Us"
“You could always ask Jason to pay her a visit,” Dick said from where he was lounging, mostly upside down, on the couch in Bruce’s study.
Bruce frowned at him. “I am not going to have Jason kill Vickie Vale.”
“Hey, you’re the one who said kill!” Dick held his hands up or, rather, given his position, down. “I just meant puts some fear into her. Maybe kidnap her for a few days so that she can’t write any more libel.”
Bruce found himself smiling, slightly and against his better judgment. It faded away when he looked back at his laptop. “At least in this case, it wouldn’t do much good. The stories is already out there and unfortunately, Vale’s take on it has captured the public’s attention.”
“Tim knows… and Babs.”
“Undoubtedly.”
“And if those two know, Steph knows. If Steph knows, she’s ranted to Cass.”
“Yes.” This family was impossible to keep things secret in.
“Welp,” Dick said and swung himself to be sitting up normally— or as normally as Dick ever sat. “Then I guess we better tell the others. How do you want to divide this?”
Bruce was grateful that Dick was willing to be his partner in this. “You would be best to take Jason. I’ll speak with Damian. Either of us can catch Duke when he returns from his patrol.”
Dick nodded. “And Thomas?”
“I think perhaps it would be best to have as much of the family in the manor as possible,” Bruce said after a moment. “If he destabilizes, I want him to know that we are around and that he is still safe.”
“Alright.” Dick slapped his knees once and stood. “I’ll drag Jason back then. You know he’ll come if it’s for Tom.”
“Make sure he reads the article before he comes over.”
Dick grimaced. “Yeah. Yeah, that would be best. I’m going to bring some food too. Good luck convincing Dami that he can’t go and stab Vickie Vale.”
Bruce pinched the bridge of his nose. “Right. Thank you.”
“You’re welcome,” Dick chirped as he left for his task.
Bruce dropped his hand.
‘Gotham’s Pale Prince’ stared back at him from the screen.

AN: I'm actually surprised this one won the poll! But here we are. I don't expect this will be long.
For those who haven't read 'Shadow of a Bat' well, 1- do, I think it's my best fic. 2- Danny = Thomas and he's more ghostly than not.
Stay delightful darlings!

Idea: Mostly just the idea of Jazz, Dan, Danny, and de-aged Dani moving into Gotham together for Jazz to go to college. Dani got de-aged somehow and rather than take chances with his parents figuring out the whole half ghost thing he opted to move with Jazz; his parents didn't even question it, just thought it was cute he was so clingy with his sister and worried about her.
Dan just got annoyed with being a teenage human again and Vlad being so overbearing and opted to move out there with them and pretend to be Danny's twin brother. He was pretty curious about baby Dani as well given his timeline never had her existing. They ended up doing online homeschooling rather than go to the local public school so it sort of gives the impression that Danny and Dan dropped out of school to take care of Danny's daughter Dani.
Dan probably gets an under the table job as a mechanic just to have something to do with his days. Danny probably just full on dives into Parenting. He's worried about turning into his parents since he already has trouble managing his hyperfixations and his Obsession with both Helping and Space.
Now onto the original thought I had that prompted my speculating. When the siblings all move out to Gotham to live in their own apartment, (Vlad funded, he's trying he's just A Lot), they give off some Unsettling vibes. Like Uncanny, Oh God That's Not Right vibes. For all intents and purposes they look perfectly Normal, if not insanely beautiful. Just...unsettlingly Normal. Like those Perfect Family parodies/examples you see on TV or in movies. Nothing about their situation should register as "Ah yes, the perfect/ideal wholesome American family dynamic.
Jazz is perfectly friendly and welcoming, always a kind and listening ear offering thoughtful compassion and motivation to do what needs done. She's always elegant and put together, always calm and reasonable, but she is also passionate and outspoken. She could never allow an injustice to stand! One would think this would get her in trouble or hurt somehow but she's taller than most people and has the strength of a hundred bears. Most don't come away from a physical spat with her without a few broken bones.
Danny found online schooling infinitely easier than public schooling and breezed through it so quickly that he usually ended up with an insane amount of time on his hands. With all that extra time he decided he would learn to be the Best Parent. So he learned how to manage a household, how to cook, how to properly clean without spreading ectoplasm everywhere, how to manage the bills, and all their budgeting. Danny was the one to socialize with the neighborhood, always offering a helping hand and a kind if goofy smile and lighthearted and pun based humor. The death jokes were a bit much but nothing about him was ever hostile or malicious.
Dan was the only one that could be considered properly shady really, the other two like Perfect Wholesomeness while Dan was more rough, hostile, and outwardly off-putting. He practically radiated disdain for the world at large and only softened for his siblings and little niece. He was gentle and almost kind with children but would tolerate other teens or adults with the bare minimum of politeness. Despite being near identical to Danny, just with longer hair and red eyes there was an air about him that he was one bad day from mass homicide.
Dani was a precocious and adventurous baby/toddler, always exploring her surroundings and powers to try and escape her Papa, Aunt, and Uncle to explore the world and go on adventures! Alas! Danny always knows where she is and chases her down in minutes if not seconds. Though sometimes she allows her to waddle off on her little 'adventures' just watching over her and making sure she doesn't get hurt or into actual trouble. Worried as he is he never wants to stifle her adventurous spirit.
Given Dani's young age she has trouble controlling her powers, especially because they're mostly emotion controlled. But Danny and Dan are teaching her as well as they can. To keep her from showing any powers outside of their home Danny made a bracelet for her to hide her powers until it was off again. He made sure that it didn't hurt her and she was perfectly healthy apart from being upset when she tried to access a power and it didn't respond.
I'm not really sure what kind of story would be happening here honestly. Just them being Too Wholesome, It's Creepy for Gotham and people being nice to them because they're scared this is a family of serial killers or something. Obviously they're not and we know that but they're so Uncanny Valley/Fae Vibes that most people are On Alert until they properly get to know them and can form an actual opinion on them.
<><><just dialogue I thought of><><>
"Her father named her cause he's an obsessive creep." Danny said flatly. "Hopefully when she's older she'll pick her own name or at least let me rename her."
-----
"I'm in anger management." Dan told them through gritted teeth, clearly struggling not to go to his first response.
-----
"Mine!" Dani yelled pushing at Tim's chest hard enough to leave him breathless and clinging tightly to Danny's neck.
"Ah, sorry Tim, she's at that phase." Danny chuckled a bit embarrassed as he hugged his toddler and tried to sooth her, rubbing her back while she glared at Tim.
"It's fine, it's fine." Tim laughed a little ruefully.
----
"Hm, I don't like your attitude Sir. Even my niece knows basic manners and she's only two. What is your excuse for this repulsive display?" Jazz pinned him with a glare that would peel the skin off a warlord.
