The bats are a breakaway sect of the royal family of a new rebel nation. The revolution was a long time coming: the country had been full of corrupt leaders, bribery and theft, crumbling with rot from the inside out. It was ruined to the highest levels and there was simply no hope for reform.
So the rebelled with everything they had. And they won.
They won, and now they're the new kings. And by God they're not going to let it go to waste.
They have their hands full, too. Between securing their independence, reconstruction, trade agreements, and creating policy to navigate their growing power on the international stage, they're almost always busy.
But it's still slow coming.
In some ways, really slow.
The only thing they're lacking is... well, actual recognition. As far as they've come, as much change as they've made, the older countries still won't see them as anything more than a child's rebellion. A mistake to be fixed in time.
It makes everything else harder. No one wants to trade with a rebel group, or recognize their borders, or ally with them, or allow inter-country civilian travel. Everything gets put in slow motion because of that one little lacking piece: legitimacy.
It's annoying. It's irritating. it's demeaning and belittling and downright incorrect. But it still does so, so much damage and there's no much they can do but work with it.
Except, when a faraway, powerful nation offers a trade agreement in exchange for one of the children's hand in marriage. A rich warrior nation with a relatively new king was looking for a trade foothold and a bride.
(This is a misunderstanding. They thought that the bats would demand it to help their legitimacy, and the bats thought they were demanding it to have a true-blooded royal marry into their warrior nation's family.) (Which is basically both of them thinking the other wants to marry them for recognition reasons which is funny but anyway lol)
And Bruce opposes it. Oh, he tries to tear up the official letter more than once, especially after his kids start to really consider it. It was ridiculous!
But it was true, that they worked so hard for this. Their people trusted them and counted on them. This trade would stabilize their economy and the marriage would give them power and legitimacy, everything they wanted.
It was all in the palm of their hand. Everything. Everything.
All they had to do was... well.
Put on a ring.
This can be made better if the batfam didn't know tim was dating anyone and he decided to tell them at the same time he tell Bruce that he's going o be grandfather the entire family was to stunned to speck
Danny's life is pretty good right now. His parents have accepted him as Phantom. Vlad remains a Thorn in his side that won't go away. The Justice League had tried to put him on one of their young hero teams after his parents flagged them down about the GIW and the Anti Ecto Acts. He refused them because he's petty that they ignored the calls he and his friends made whenever they thought they needed help on something that looked out of their control. He's accepted to just being a person that they call on for help whenever they need it.
He's only in Gotham now, after he graduated high school and the whole business of the Justice League trying to get him to be part of their little group, because it has the only university that's crazy enough to enroll a Fenton.
He's found a balance between his university life, his Ghost King duties, and the Justice League needing his aid on a few occasions. He had to deal with a few unexpected instances where he was mistaken for a Wayne, but those were handled when he was, reluctantly, saved by the Batfam (he's still got the pettiness in him from being ignored for most of his high school years).
That might have been where his life started to change, as he soon found himself in a secret relationship with one of the Wayne boys, who even accepted him when he told them that he's Trans.
Near the end of his scholarship at Gotham University is when he learns of something that will definitely be a turning point in his life.
He's in the Far Frozen, having Frostbite check up on him because he's been feeling pretty weird the past couple of days. And it's here where he's told that he is pregnant.
I have come to the end of the list I had pre-written of dcxcp Tim / Danny prompts so let's go I might write more later I've been kind of busy I am using speak to text because I am trying to multitask
Okay, so Tim, because of his kind of obsessive personality and looking half dead because he's always so tired and everything like that is actually very attractive to ghosts. He runs into Denny somehow I don't know on this one you can go to the classics you could create something new I don't know but he runs into Danny and Danny's just like his finds this car crash of a guy very attractive he doesn't know the personality thing yet. They somehow start to get to know each other and everything, and Danny realizes Tim is obsessive on certain things, and that just makes him more attractive than Danny's eyes.
Because Danny lets Tim obsessively plan and protect him and doesn't get weirded out because of it and actually finds it enduring that Tim Falls further in love with him because Danny's not asking him to change so they can date and be happy then he's accepting him for who he is it doesn't help Danny is 6 ft 4 in and is strong enough to bench press Jason( is the height from his dad and everything follow the normal)
Tim gets to rub it in the bat family's face that he found somebody who does not ask him to change loves him for him and he doesn't have to hide who he is around him knowing that Danny's not going to leave him just because he might get a little obsessive on some things or he might not sleep does Danny want him to sleep and be healthy yes. But he'll still love him even if he doesn't sleep even if he hasn't slept in days Danny doesn't care if he gets obsessive about certain things or Danny he doesn't care to Danny and his culture that is the biggest confession of love of admiration and he gets to return it to Tim showing him how protective he is that he wants him to be safe happy and healthy that he can be just a possessive of protecting him and making sure he's safe as Tim can be of him
The Batman is very concerned about these two because this is not normal no matter how much to say they're fine with it. Danny, being his dramatic self, goes because the culture differences because my culture does not fit your is the reason that you don't like us dating or you have a problem with this causing the entire bat family minus Tim to backpedal
That's what I got for now. If I think I'm more, I'll definitely post more, and yes, I know it's rambly, and yes, I know it makes little to no sense
Okay back to dpxdc
This kind of a play on another few i saw just my take on it if you see others like this give them some love
So Damian was reading a magazine that had a paper on the purple back gorilla. How this kid who was just trying to get more credit for one of his classes discovered that it was female. Turn ing what they thought upside down and how he gets to study at the zoo while working with animals(let say Danny got to work the other animals at the zoo and made a few more discoveries. He's good with animals). The gorilla is coming to Gotham zoo for an exhibit for a few months and because Danny works with her he comes along with the zoo keeper that is going with to make it easier on the gorilla (I don't know this type of thing works but fiction so let's go with it) Damian want to go see it and ask some questions he has. On the weekend that he has tickets for the only one available to take is Tim. Tim decides that he'll take him because he saw how excited his little brother was he didn't have the heart to tell him no. They go to the zoo and have a good time. The time for they comes around they are in the crowd to see it. Damian gets to see the gorilla, and Tim sees the most enchanting person he has ever seen. Dawin with the tickets he got has an opportunity to ask questions after the exhibition he is alittle upset that he can get up closer with the gorilla but he understands that it's a safety problem after all no matter how many people and how much she is worked with she is still a gorilla. He's asking Danny his questions and Tim is just staring with blush on his face.
I can't think of any more at to moment if I do ill edit or repost with more. Feel free to add
Late night ramble is like 1:00 a.m. for me I am tired but I can't get this off my mind
Of course it is dcxdp what else is new I'm still on that kick just during a bit more bat family in there lately but I'm still on that kick just kind of swapping between several other ones haven't touched really any other fandom as of lately so hyper fixation for the win man I guess anyway this one's kind of a play on one of the other ones I already posted the one about soulmates but this isn't a soulmate AU it's just kind of I want something sad I had a long day at work and I've been reading quite a bit of a sad bat family fix lately but like I said this one's quick so let's go
Okay so I kind of want it where Maybe Sam and Tucker aren't quite agreeing with how Danny is handling everything becoming ghost King and all that they're stressed about it I'm kind of blaming all their problems on Danny and he's at this point trying to like help them( once again I don't think they would actually do this but I kind of just want it) where I don't like a lot of teenagers do blame others it's never their fault type deal but this gets out of hand and they're just blaming Danny for absolutely every problem they have in their life while Danny is just trying to be a supportive friend even though they're not being supportive back eventually Danny has enough and let's say maybe in the last years of high school plus being ghost King he had more free time to get his grades up so he graduates early from high school just like a semester early thank you he worked his butt off for that jazz this is just so supportive of her baby brother well their parents don't even realize Danny even lives at home anymore and when they do they're not great if you know what I mean with jazz being gone for college in Gotham there's no buffer and Danny should get like a brunt of horribleness and once again I just want glad to be a creepy guy (don't get me wrong I do like those few fix that he actually gets Redemption Ark this just ain't one of them) so with him graduating early he actually just goes to Gotham to be with his sister and get away from his s*** life in Amity and he decides to apply for Gotham University he does get in but not until the fall semester so he and Jazz have an apartment and got them together jazz is more than happy to welcome her baby brother in her apartment
Let's say over the summer he decides to get a job at I know this is a cliche and a thing that happens a lot in this fandom but a cafe where I'm going to let you guys shoes like I said before in previous posts I hop between Tim X Danny and Danny X Jason you can choose or really any other pairing you really want glorious thing about fandom and fix you can read whatever you want but he meets one of the bad boys I'm going to go with Tim cuz I'm still kind of a on a kick of that one and they hit it off because they both have Unholy amount of caffeine in their drinks
And let's say they start dating pretty quickly not too seriously you know but by the time it's fall they're a little bit more serious and didn't actually starts going to college as well and let's say it's actually because of Bruce Jason Jazz and Danny all convinced him to go yes I'm going to have Jason starting on like online classes he doesn't feel quite comfortable enough yet to go in person so he's going to slowly like make his way up there Bruce is just happy to if his sons are going to college and actually Tim actually deciding to go encourages Jason a bit more as well I know Jason is like a really independent guy but I think he would be nervous after being Resurrected going back to school Bruce already helped him get his GED or full on diploma you can choose I like both
Let's say maybe Tucker and Sam who haven't spoken to Danny for like 8 months at this point if not more go to Gotham University to study whatever field you want maybe you can go with the certain kick that Amity Parker's need more ambient Ecto so they have to go to cities that have more of that and Gotham has a decent amount so good portion of Amity Parkers go to Gotham for college
They run into Danny maybe he's walking to a on-campus Cafe with Tim to get some in between Class coffee and getting to see each other and talk and just or just be in each other's presents cuz they're both quite busy Sam and Tucker try to go talk to him like nothing happened between them Danny is mad at them he is not forgiving him that easy he forget forgiving him for a while there but they kept hurting him and him being with jazz she actually helps him talk through it and make him realize that yeah we shouldn't be around each other at least for a while if ever again
So a few months go by and Sam and Tucker are getting fed up with Danny ignoring them walking away whenever he sees them and Tim glaring at them to eventually it comes to a head where they actually start arguing Tim's there unless they actually Jason and Jazz are there as well you could even have dick and Damien there if you want like maybe they were picking up their brothers or you maybe have dick dating jazz maybe if you want to do it that way that's how Tim and Danny meet whatever but they just come in hot at Denny just pissed off and Danny just snapped at them and goes I was there for you and all of your darkest times when you couldn't be there for me I would have lost my mind without my sister and they just get into a full on argument I want to say that jazz got Danny into some therapy with the help of the Wayne's Lake maybe Jazz was talking to dick or Tim that or even Jason that Danny needs more help than she can offer but they can't afford it so the bat boys go and talk to Bruce and Bruce was more than willing to help because let's say maybe he read the files of his mom being in Arkham( I think that's right I don't quite remember I can't remember if she's actually ever been in Arkham I thought she was locked up at some point and like an institution but I could be misremembering or just straight up fan on) but he helps them and gets them help so Danny starting to heal from the horrible life he had before well Sam and Tucker are just yelling Danny's actually keeping a pretty even tone you can tell he's getting worked up and he's getting upset but he's not yelling Jazz can't be more proud of him eventually Tim and Jason step in Danny is their friend and boyfriend respectively and defend them against these people eventually they walk away
Okay this was a lot longer than I thought it was going to be like I said though I am quite tired but I had to get this off my brain cuz it's been gnawing at me and so horrible grammar and pretty much zero punctuation but like I said it's 1:00 a.m. when I am doing this and I'll be honest I am using speech to text and I know this is real rambly and kind of all over the place I did warn you at top should not be new anyway feel free to add on if you wish
Dcxdp tim/danny scary dog danny
I have been busy but here we go. So this one is another play on another post i saw and loved the idea it was Tucker is a streamer and Danny makes appearances on the stream one day some one brok into tuckers apparment and Danny leaves the room only to come back with a baseball bat with blood on it and himself he smiles a wicked smile. I have reposted the inspiration, so scroll down on my page and give the original poster some love credits to them.
Okay, so Danny is the most scary thing most people have ever seen. Dick and Damian like watching the streams. Maybe one day they are watching it at the manor and Tim walks be stopping when he hear a scream then some one saying oh quite screaming it's not that bad (danny) will the dick laughs at to commentary and Damian agrees with Danny's comment that the scream was not necessary. Tim looks at the screen, and his heart picks up the pace when he sees Danny. He gets talking to the other 2 to get more information
Tim starts his stalker traits to find Danny. Danny knows, and one day leads tim down some side roads, then corners him they get talking. Tim asks him out, and he agrees. They start dating. Tim doesn't tell his family. Danny tells his friends and family. Tim meets Danny's family, and they welcome him with open arms. One day someone trys to hurt Tim with danny there and Danny knows Tim can defend (maybe they know each other's identity ls) but his a protective spirit and he beats the snot out the person and doesn't stop till Tim tells him to(he is whipped)
I can't think of more at the moment if I do ill edit the post. But feel to add
Once again here we go with a dcxdp Tim / Danny as I have said before I have a list I'm working down it and things get added when I think of one I might start doing danny/jason as well but I say I don't know that I mean dead on Main is pretty thriving
This one is where maybe team Phantom( which for this consists Valerie Sam Tucker Wes and Danny and sometimes jazz) decide to take like a gap year or do online schooling and just travel around the world and different dimensions and planets Danny's ghost King as long as he has a place to do his paperwork once in awhile he's good and between Sam's wealth and Danny's riches and let's be honest some blackmailing Vlad they don't really have to worry about money all that much
We all know jazz went to Ivy League so on her breaks when she doesn't have extra stuff to do she travels with them
Let's say maybe jazz is doing a internship at Arkham so while she's there team Phantom decide to visit her and I'll be there for a while.
Somewhere along the way they get mixed up with the Wayne's maybe Sam's parents and Vlad bribed them to go for them in their Stead and they're just pure chaos there that kids just love it and find them funny Tim and Danny hit it off let's say maybe dick and Jazz hit it off as well( I know it's usually Jazz and Jason but I kind of like dick and Jazz a little bit more then read and or write what you want)
Maybe Sam convinced is the rest of Team Phantom to participate in a protest feel like every animal rights or the plants somebody Poison Ivy and or Damien are there and they're just pure chaos there's some of the loudest voices there cuz if they're going to fight for something they're going to fight for it hard and loud
Tim ends up finding out that they travel around all around the world if they are doing schools usually online or they're just having fun being young adults cuz sadly let's face it they had to grow up pretty quickly
Maybe at some point one of team Phantom is captured by a rogue in Gotham and Danny loses his absolute s*** because they are his people him and Valerie pretty much take this person down before the bats get there and maybe was something with like ectoplasm has tainted them and they have like an Ecto signature or maybe you could go the route of Lady Gotham claiming them as her nights and Danny just knows
Anyway it gets out that Valerie and Danny were both once vigilantes Sam and Tucker helped Danny Jazz knew and Wes figured it out they pretty much tell the bats they know who their civilian identities are and they found it by the giw and everything like that maybe team Phantoms already dealt with giw completely or they haven't I'll let you decide
Eventually team Phantom is going to carry on go about their business and eventually they're going to leave Gotham maybe Tim wants to be like a young adult like his other peers and travel and I kind of want good bat family and so Tim proposes the idea to travel with them he's pretty much head over heels for Danny already then it's just the same the bat family supports him they can still get in contact him over calms and get his ideas and he can go over cases out in line especially since he doesn't have to hide out from these people anyway they know what it's like it's already a team Phantom is Chill about it like yeah come travel with us see the world without having to be on a mission or there are for publicity
Now I know at the end it's a little rushed and this is kind of jumbled this is my after a long day at work thoughts so I'm tired so it's a little rambly and I know it's a bit out of character for Tim but I kind of like that feel free to add on
This is just a quick one it is a epic the musical AU for dcxdp tim/danny
So like usual Tim is Odysseus Danny is Penelope The Reincarnation and everything they kind of pick up where they left off all those years ago the bat family is concerned cuz it's out of character for Tim but are happy to see that he's happy and support him Denny's friends and family no of reincarnation so they are just okay with it cuz they know who those two are
This part's a little different where I want kind of want to see like maybe the JL to call in Phantom for something like maybe they're having like a threat that they don't know how to deal with it Supernatural or it's just too powerful and everyone's kind of there including Young JL and because Danny is Ghost King he has two of his most trusted people there which are fright knight and Pandora. Pandora knew that Danny was Reincarnation of Penelope. She had an idea that he found his Odysseus but didn't know for sure until she sees Danny and Tim interacting and she knows and she is extremely happy for them. Let's say maybe she goes like aw or something she does something to get the attention of everyone else in the room and they ask what is going on and she's like and she's looking at Tim and Danny and goes I love that strong when he comes once in a millennia the other members are confused ask her what she means and she explains that those two are reincarnated of people who were 2,000 years ago and their love Still Remains and still a strong if not stronger that is a thousand years old love
And that's how the bat family find out Tim's reincarnated of Odysseus and he found his Penelope that's why they moved so fast and they're still 100% supportive
I kind of want one of Tim's best friends to be a Reincarnation of Eumaeus,or Polites
Feel free to add and go on I'm obsessed with Epic and dcxp right now epic for a longer time I've been a huge fan since I found it and I think I started watch listening to it when it was at the Cyclops Saga so been there for a good portion of time
This is going to be another late night ramble with no punctuation or proper spacing but it is going to be dcxdp Tim / Danny of course I'm still on a kick of that and I'm probably going to be on there for a while I tend to hyper fixate on things this one is about if Jason and Danny were friends and Tim met Danny threw Jason
Okay so Danny moves to Gotham maybe he need a fresh start maybe he's going to college maybe he had to run from the giw take a pic and he lives Crime Alley maybe some low level thugs try to pick on Danny because he was new and they didn't think you look like you could do much Jason sees a kid who is close to one of his younger brothers ages about to get into a street fight and looks like he would lose jokes on them Danny does not lose he absolutely clobbers these guys when's it with relatively ease even though he is holding back on strength though Jason doesn't know that
Over time they get closer and become pretty good friends what was a real turning point in their friendship was one day Jason was kind of in a pit rage or borderline and he runs into Danny Danny recognizes Ecto and they have a brawl to calm down Jason's pit so then after Jason calms down and wonders what the hell was that Danny asked him if he knows he is a liminal( I don't think Jason will be a full-blown hafla if anything he might be like a revenant)( and yes I know this could be used as a dead on Main as well which if you want go for it) Jason obviously doesn't know that he's one of these creatures so Danny explains it to him and it's like you're real sick like your Ecto is corrupted I couldn't get a good read on it until this fight he ends up taking Jason to the far Frozen to get checked out and I start the healing Journey
Let's say at one point Red Robin or Tim it can be like a school work type deal as well cuz let's face it Jason is a theater and literature nerd which Fair my guy and let's say Danny is like visiting Jason hanging out his house or maybe Danny's dropping something off for Jason when Tim is there and that's how they meet and Tim and Danny start hanging out on their own and eventually start dating and Jason likes to brag to like dick about how he knew about his little baby bird dating because he introduced them and he likes to rub it in his face
I don't know how to continue this any further to be honest this is why I'm not a writer I suck at it a bit as you all can see but same Rodeo was before feel free to add on
Next here we go still on a dpxdc and tim/Danny kick at the moment.
This one is pretty simple tim and Danny have been together for at least a year when the bats have no clue. They live together and they know of each other's identitys. You can go in many ways for this. I'm just going to say a few that have come to mind.
Tim had a falling out with the rest of the Gotham vigilantes. He doesn't see himself as part of the family. But he's not as upset as he once was because he has Danny, his friends, Danny's friends, and Danny's family. The fentons welcomed him with open arms. Maybe after Bruce comes back from the time stream, he starts to try to be more connected to his kids. He starts to spend more time with them to get to know them better, like he takes some time off or cut down on hours. He makes up with Jason it's still rock, but it's getting better. There was a lot of yelling and bruce tell jason that he regrets how he handled the joker. He apologized to dick for putting so much pressure on him, and he is everything Bruce couldn't be. He got to learn that Damian loves animals and art they go to museums and zoos. Him and Cass bond.(I'll be honest. I can't think of a way they bond at the moment. I don't know Cass that well. He just plainly gets to know Duke. But he can never get Tim alone he never stays long after Patrol. So Bruce tries to be open and asks his other kids to help him talk to Tim. They can't give him answers. It makes them pause and think when was the last time Tim stayed at the manor or just came around for a meal. Even Jason is around now more times than not. They realized that they had no clue about tim, they don't know him like they once did if they ever did. All feel horrible about it, Tim brought back their dad, and they didn't even try to get to know him better. So dick goes to Tim's apartment to see him. He's waiting in the lobby as the front desk person calls up to buzz him in. When Danny walks in with groceries and waves to the front desk to go up. When he is stopped, he asks if Tim is home. Danny hums said he's not sure, and he'll check. Dick thinks that maybe he lives on the floor below Tim as time lives in the pent house. After five minutes Tim calls down to the front desk and says they can send up dick. Dick beams at them as he gos to the elevator. He makes it up to Tim's place. Tim greats him saying that he was in the shower. Dick waves him off. Tim guides him to the kitchen where he see the guy from the lobby putting things away. He turns to Tim to ask but is cut off when Tim give the guy a quick kiss saying thanks after he hands Tim what looks like a little snack tray. Dick follows Tim out of the kitchen to the living room. Tim see the look and says he's my boyfriend he lives here. Questions are fired off fast, where dick learned the guys name is Danny, they have been dating for almost 2 years and living together for 10 months, and last but not least Tim does not see him self as part of the family. He takes what he learns back to the bats. Everyone feels horrible for this. They all try to include Tim more.
This scenario Tim takes Danny to a gala as his dateable. That's how he introduced his over a year boyfriend to his family. Just kinda a crack fic with a bit of angst. Like maybe Bruce wglhile he is happy for tim and wants to have a family dinner with Danny over to properly meet him he is emotionally constipated and worried for the secret identities.
Next scenario is simple. Dick, Jason and Damian run into tim while he and Danny are out for their weekly dat or as often as they can. That's how they find out their brother has a long term relationship. Danny is just laughing in the background.
Feel free add on these are just a few thoights of the same idea that tim and Danny have been together for a while, but the bats somehow don't know. I know there are fics out there with something like these. I love them.
Okay, so this one is playing with the world from another poster. The world where Danny's aparment is weird he has stuff from all over time and space. He listens to music and podcasts from all different times and space and watches moies from other dementions. When he is asked where he got it, he just says the market and his actsent cant be pin pointed. I cant find the original post, but if you know it, please tag them they get the credit for coming up with this idea that Danny gos to this market, and all his stuff is from there.
Let's say tim and Danny are in college. They get partnered up for a project. They usually work at the library, but for some reason, it's close for some time, let's say, a rogue attack. Tim didn't want this essential to be a stranger at his apartment and the manor. So they go to Danny's because, well, they need to get this.
Eventually they just start to hang out. One night when maybe they are hanging out maybe getting high as I kite Danny kisses tim. Tim freezes Danny think he messed up and starts apologies. Tim Eventually shuts that down.
At some point Tim start to bring the wierd stuulff back to the manor.( This can before or after they started dating.) The batfam see this at first they didn't think of thinking that maybe Tim just found a small or indie brands that he likes. Till one day Jason steals some of the snack claiming big brother tax. He really liked them and wanted to buy some for his safe house but he couldn't find them online. He ends up asking Tim where he got them. Tim's replied my boyfriend's place. Jason asked where does said boyfriend get them then ( I want this next part kinda out of charter for Tim maybe they know about each other) time just shrugged saying the market then walks away not helping Jason at all.
This next part doesn't have to happen i just think it would be a funny way for the family to meet Danny. Tim gets hurt when out as red Robin alike, maybe a brocken leg, so bed rest. Tim is sad about it. He wants his boyfriend and the weird snacks. So he asks Alfred if his boyfriend can come over with snacks and to see him. Alfred thought that it would be a great way to raise his spirits, so agreed. Tim calls Danny to tell him that he is hurt but fine and would like to visit and bring snacks. Danny does just that. Shenanigans happen as the family meets him. And Jason finally gets the snacks he has been l craving.
Feel free to add on.
Next idea for today I don't know if I'm going to post one of the other ones that I have I have a list we'll see
This one is a play on another fake that I read a bit ago I don't remember what it's called but it's a soulmate AU that one of the ones where the writing will appear on the other one like you can write on your arm and it will appear on the you're so much arm. It was kind of already angsty but I want a little bit more angst.
Okay so Tim and Danny are soul mates. And Danny for the longest time was always writing or drawing things to Tim. Eventually Tim was like having a really bad day let's say it's kind of around the time he started being Robin so it would be around that time Danny was an active vigilante. And Tim got fed up with Danny writing on him all the time by the way they don't know each other's names yet and pretty much says that he will eventually renounce him as a his soulmate which in this world you can't do until like you're 20 or something like that you have to be like illegal adult for a few years.
And Danny just kind of shuts down afterwards because Denny's already kind of going through a lot at home. Like bad parents and let's say maybe Jazz got hurt if not killed kind of let you play off that a little bit I'm not sure which one I want better I just want Danny to be hurting. Let's say for some odd reason with the whole Phantom thing he actually has a falling out with Sam and Tucker( now I don't think this would actually happen but like I said I just want angst) so the one Comfort he had to write his soulmate was pretty much gone because the soulmate told him that he didn't want Danny talking to him and as soon as he can he's renouncing him he just kind of plummets.
Eventually Danny has to run away from home for whatever reason maybe he got vivisected and he was on the Run or whatever he ends up and Gotham and he's living on the streets in Crime Alley. He actually runs into Jason because Jason sees this scrawny kid living on the streets through the best he can and he wants to help but Danny has been hurt so many times that he does not trust that Jason.
Maybe how Tim and Danny actually meet is like at a library like that's where Danny can do his online schooling and Tim's like either visiting like Barbara or maybe doing a little bit of research for whatever reason he's using Library. And they hit it off and they start hanging out and Danny's starting to think that maybe he can actually start trusting someone again and all that sort of stuff at this point he kind of already trust Jason a little bit enough where he knows Jason's not going to hurt him but he's still not willing like to go it's like a safe house with him.
Somehow other hanging out one of them gets a writing on their arm like maybe they accidentally drew a pan across their arm or the other person was reaching across the table with the pen in their hand and I should just wrote on their arm okay. And they see it appear on the other person's arm they both freeze and just stare. Well Tim is thinking that he actually found his soulmate at this point he doesn't quite remember what he said to Danny before they knew each other but Danny bolts he leaves. He's no longer picking up Tim's calls or anything no longer answering texts. Tim's freaking out Danny is asking himself why did he think he could ever be happy.
Eventually like Tim and Jason are in the Batcave Tim's trying to find Danny still and he's kind of freaking out and Jason's like what is wrong with you and so Tim explains that he found his soulmate but his soulmate bolted and he had to look of fear and absolute Terror in his eyes and sorrow.
This is all I can think about for this one right now I can't think of anymore feel free to add more sorry that it's a run-on and not many punctuations I mean they using these just to get like my ideas down hoping maybe a wonderful writer can find them or anyone who just wants to write it that's good too or maybe just to give somebody something to play around in like meladaptive daydreaming like I do
I got a couple more dcxdp that are tim/Danny but in the end read what you like. They're each going to be their own post
Okay first one of today. Dan and Dani got deaged to a toddler and baby respectly. (I have seen many of this with danny/Jason they are good but I want to see one with tim) Danny take his kids and move to Gotham for a fresh start. He meets tim some how. And pretty quickly Tim like Falls real fast for him and he loves Danny's kids as well.
I want the bat family besides like one or two people are completely against Tim and Danny being together simply because Danny is a teenage parent according to them. You can choose who is okay with them I was kind of like leaning towards Jason cuz I think I'll be like a really awesome like bonding moment between Jason and Tim. And maybe at one point they meet Danny but not the kids and they're just they do not hide their distaste for him.
At one point Tim and Danny have like a real heart to heart like hey my kids are always going to come first I understand if you don't want to be with somebody who is who already has kids but Tim's like I love those brats those little buggers.
I think it would be really awesome if team Phantom all move to Gotham to support Danny and the kids so he had like a system there already everyone is just thriving there Valerie Wes Sam Tucker jazz.
And I want this to be like good Fenton parents because I think they would just spoil their grandkids and I'm just proud of their son of stepping up and like they know how those kids came about.
Feel free to add would love to see this if somebody is a good writer I am not that person
Hey! So I found this promt and just had to write something with it!

Prompt
-Danny is transported into a novel/game where he is the villainess fiancé of the male lead.
Knowing that only death awaits him at the end, Danny tries to end the engagement (who knows if death will stick this time - Danny is not gonna risk finding out)
Meanwhile, Jason finds himself as the male lead of a novel/game he never read/played
The system in his head is telling him that the only way to get back home is to have a happy ending with his fiancé
So we have Danny who is desperately trying to end his engagement and a Jason who is trying to woo his fiancé (and cursing the original male lead - because the guy must have done something horrible for his cute and nice fiancé to be desperate to break up with him)-
Story
Danny was so over this. He thought this would have been easy, maybe not on his parents part god knows they don't give up without a fight, but his fiance has shown nothing but disdain for him his whole life (even if he wasn't here for 90% of that life) He thought he'd only have to tell his fiance that he didn't want to marry him, his fiance would be ecstatic and run into the sun with Ophelia and he'd get the weight off his shoulders and wouldn't have to worry about dying anymore and yet...
"No."
Danny just looked at him with horror "What do you mean no?" He practically yelled.
"No, I won't break off the engagement."
"Why not!? You hate me! You've hated me since the moment we met! I know you want to be with ophelia!"
Jason looked like he was trying to read his face which makes no sense, if anyone should be trying to read the other's face it should be him!
Danny grabbed Jason's shoulders and shook them, he knew he wasn't acting like a proper gentleman, but his life was on the line! "Have you lost your goddamn mind? What in the world is wrong with you?" He paused, took a breath and let go of the teshis shoulders. He was sure this had something or the other to do with politics, he just couldn't wrap his mind around it at all. He took another step back, he had to appease Jason somehow. "Look, neither of us wanted to get married and neither of us really knew what we were getting into when our parents signed the agreement and had us agree to this, my parents won't back down but from what I know of your parents they'll let you back out of this no problem. My parents will be pissed but that's neither here nor there. There is really no reasonable excuse for why we shouldn’t break off our engagement." Danny said smugly, crossing his arms over his chest. There was no way Jason could deny all of that.
-
How could Jason deny all of that?! He was acting completely out of character, which was funny because he hardly knew what his character was like at all besides from second hand accounts. When he was told he just had to get a happy ending with his fiance he had thought this would be a piece of cake, he had brushed everything else off and took this as a really weird miny vacation, how hard could it really be to marry your fiance? Everything was already set up, it couldn't fail.
Except for the fact that apparently he was a dick and hated his fiance and she was done with all that, which he would have cheered on the fiance any day, get rid of that dick 100%. But now he was here in that dick's place and having to deal with his stupid problems and his fiance wanted to divorce him! How was he ever going to get a happy ending out of this? He did eventually want to get home no matter how annoying Bruce could be at times.
His fiance huffed drawing his eyes to him, he really was very pretty, he had no idea why Damian seemingly hated him. Sure he was being annoying as hell right now but really that was all Damian's fault.
"look i don't know why you seem to be fighting for this, it seriously seems like you just forgot everything!"
Jason froze, should he go with that? It really would be rather convincing seeing as he really didn't know Damian at all.
Danial paused, his eyes widening as he fixed on Jason's hesitance, seemingly picking apart all that he was and assessing him not adequate.
"You really don't act like Damian at all..."
He froze again, was that a good thing? Was this gonna be what gave him away?
"Did you hit your head or something? Temporary amnesia?"
"Y-yes!" Was he messing this up, would Danial believe that?
"Then why are you fighting so hard to keep the engagement? You don't know me at all."
Shit. shit what did he say? How did he convince Danial to keep the engagement if his other self hated him and this self didn't know him?
"I-I heard how wonderful you were from my parents and- and fell in love!"
Danial backed up with a distured look on his face, fuck he shouldn't have said that. "Love? After just hearing about me? That’s… kind of creepy."
“I just want to get to know you!”
Danial looked at him, his shoulders slumped and he looked resigned as he said "fine we'll keep up the engagement for now.” yes! “But when you get your memories back, we're breaking it off.”
Not great, but at least he knew that wasn’t going to happen.
He turned around to leave, oh wait. "I haven't told anyone else I've lost my memories so could you keep that one to yourself?" He asked, turning back around.
Danial looked at him suspiciously. "Why haven't you told anyone else? Not even your family?"
Fuck again! Why couldn't he just get this right? "Of course my family knows!" He really hoped Danial never met them because they absolutely did not. "but no one at this school does, i don't want them to treat me like i'm made of glass like my parents." Not completely off base, they've been tiptoeing around him all summer, probably because he was acting so weird.
"that makes sense." Danial sighed, he looked suddenly like the whole weight of the world was upon his shoulders.
Jason screwed up his face, he had definitely been the one to place it there. He wanted to go over to him and tell him that they could break off the engagement after all but he really couldn't do that. "I'm sorry." He settled for instead.
Danial looked surprised. "You’re apologizing?"
"Yeah, I've made this so much harder for you than it really had to be. And you don't really know me anymore and I really don't know you."
Danial looked at him with something akin to empathy. "It's hard being thrust into a world that's unfamiliar to you isn't it? No one you trust or know around you and having to be something your not."
Jason looked at him in genuine shock. "H-how?"
Danial looked panicked for a second before he gave a light laugh. "I may not have amnesia but I do have expectations from everyone around me." He rubbed his arm. "Everyone says you're way out of my league and that I'm lucky to have you." This time his laugh was bitter.
"If anything you said about the old me was true it was really the opposite."
Danial gave a snort that Jason couldn't help feeling was the prettiest thing he's ever heard. "oh believe me i down played it."
Jason looked at him aghast. "Downplayed it!? Just how bad was I??"
Daniel gave him a sympathetic pat on the shoulder and a smirk, "Now that, my friend is a talk for another time. Danial moved past him brushing his shoulder, what felt like a shock passed through him and he went stiff. When he finally came to his senses he was all by himself, What had just happened?
So I was reading "The Misadventures Of Cosplay Man" by Shynnohwen(really recommend it), and I though "What if Danny was cosplaying after villains?".After that I was unstoppable.
Okay, it will get more angsty or if you want more comedic degree feel free to change it at your liking.
I want it to get in more dark turn?Yeah, something like that.
*Danny's life went to shit.Nasty Burger exploded as if he didn't tried to get ride of this turn of events.But this is where everything goes worse.To this horrific scene comes GIW, but less to help and more to capture Danny(you can come up with a reason of how they connected that Phantom is Danny).
There comes months of experiments and eventually, they tried to damage his core, to pull away his core for later examination, but Danny's body, core reacts and he Wails.Something that he wasn't able to do because of cuffs and collar that would suppress his powers.With that he tooks off flying.
But Clockwork was waiting for opportunity like this and opens a portel to his Tower and Frostbite patches their little king up.Then Clockwork sends him to a new universe, telling him that he would be safe there.
And with that Danny ends up in Gotham(you could choose other cities, it's just in my head it's more dp x batman than anything, but as I said you can change it at your liking).
Danny's core was damaged, not in Dan's like destructive but his obsession was twisted(you can come up with explanation).Now his core wants to spread pain and despair to everyone and Danny can't refuse to it.So what he does?Spreads his destruction towards villains that deserves it while cosplaying as them.
So 1.villains would though Danny is a follower and would let their guard down.And 2.he didn't cosplay as heroes bc he doesn't want their reputation to go down.And most importantly 3.to left his identity unclear.
With it he starts his adventures.
* While in the heroes side everyone goes nuts.
Batfamily finds new criminal activity in their city and starts investigating.But they're surprised to find a literal kid fight off villains while cosplaying as them.So they're trying to find more information about this villain? vigilante?anti-hero?
They get to see his battle against (insert villain) and saw his disturbing amount of skills and experience he has.They wasn't able to talk to him because he took off running.
After this they get to encounter more and more and they grew attached to this kid and they were sure this kid also was growing attached to them.
Batfamily was sure this was some very sick kid that has to fight against villains for personal reasons or for someone else.
After the most destructive villains have been reduced to a state of complete inability to do anything bad, he disappears.
Batfamily is worried but then they hear story from (insert JL memb) that there were someone who was cosplaying as their enemy and took them in the fight with ease.Batman shares his encounters with him(I need to seriously come up with a name to Danny) and everyone in JL keeps an eye on him.
Every superhero is worried abt this sick kid fighting against evil without help and villains is scared abt being his next target while Danny is oblivious to all of this.
After moving to Gotham and having to deal with a stressful job, Danny has started taking walks around the city as a way to destress.
Since he knows that he could get mugged, he just becomes intangible and invisible while listening to some loud music on his phone.
Unfortunately for him, his control on his Invisibility keeps slipping when he gets lost in his music, and the people of Gotham keep seeing a semi-translucent ghost man walking around at night aimlessly.
Some thugs think it’s just a meta with invisibility and try to mug him, but pass right through and he disappears completely. This convinces them that he is a ghost, since having both invisibility, and intangibility would be too big a coincidence. Not to mention he never reacts to them whatsoever.
The Bat’s get word that a Ghost has been stalking the streets of Gotham, and he looks scarily like Bruce Wayne from the little they have been able to see from him. Now Batman thinks his dad may have come back as a ghost.
Danny is oblivious to all of this. He just likes his nightly strolls.
Author's notes: My boss was out of town today and things at the office were kinda slow so I took the oportunity and finished this chapter! Please enjoy and Happy Holidays guys!
masterpost part 15
“You all should be ashamed.” Alfred sternly tells to his young – and not so young – wards as all of them are kneeling on the floor, the elderly man quickly understanding what the group was doing as soon as he actually looked at the scene. “Master Dick, you are the eldest, married even, same for you master Jason and miss Cassandra, you are to be your older brother’s sense when his fails so gravely, I cannot believe that you would still partake on this type of behavior.” Aldred sighs in annoyance. “Master Damian trusted you all to behave during this dinner and you all have stepped on that trust, shame on all of you.”
Now that makes everybody flinch and groan, Cass even makes a little puppy whine.
“What is happening here?” Bruce makes himself known as he approaches alongside Selina and Woodlock to the room.
“I think they were busted while spying on the pup and the kitten, love.” Selina purrs with contained laughter.
“They wouldn’t do that.” Brucie says as he looks at his children like a scandalized old money lady, but Bruce knows very well that his children, especially Dick, Cass and Jay, would do it because they adore love stories the most.
“Oh, Daniel confessed?” Woodlock says with some surprise impregnating his voice.
“Wait, he reciprocates?!” Jason exclaims with wide open eyes but the glare Alfred directed his way makes him hide behind Dick.
Woodlock giggles at what he sees. “Well, he does reciprocate the romantic feelings but my boy is a bit slow reading his own heart and hasn’t realized that he is attracted to young Damian.”
“So, his heart knows but his head doesn’t.” Duke reasons aloud.
“Exactly.” Woodlock agrees as he nods his head once. “But if young Damian has already confessed then there is a good chance that Daniel will realize how he truly feels… but then again, there is also the possibility that Daniel panics, punches Damian on the face and runs away to never talk to Damian again, he is dramatic like that.”
“Dude.” Tim mumbles as he squints his eyes at Woodlock.
“I hope it’s the first one.” Dick says. “I don’t think Dami could handle well being rejected by Danny.”
“Yeah, I’ve never seen him behave like this before.” Steph adds. It’s just how Bruce behaves with Selina. She thinks.
“Then I guess all we can do is hope for the best.” Alfred wisely says. “And all of you are banned from cookies and pastries until I say otherwise.” The elderly man states as he pointedly looks to his young – and not so young – wards.
The siblings collectedly groan, which makes Selina and Woodlock giggle while Bruce fondly sighs.
***
“I like you… romantically I mean. I… would you go on a date with me?”
Damian’s heart is pounding so loud he feels like he is in a concert, right in front of the speakers as the merciless beat of the bass makes him feel like there is an earthquake happening inside of him. He feels himself turning colder as the seconds – eternal seconds – slowly go by.
Danny on the other hand feels how his heart cannot decide between completely stopping beating or stuttering like the wings of a hummingbird.
I just realized that I like-like him! I’m not ready to answer that yet!! Danny inwardly panics. And then Danny locks his eyes with Damian vibrant green ones, Damian is making the sweetest puppy dog eyes as his elegant eyebrows scrunch. Oh, no, I’m weak! Danny cries inwardly. You know what, fuck it. And with a swift movement Danny grabs Damian by the shoulders and kisses him on the lips.
Damian certainly wasn’t expecting that. First his eyes open wide in surprise and then he feels Danny soft, cold lips over his as his hands instinctually land on Danny´s waist as Danny moves his hands from Damian’s shoulders to Damian’s face.
The kiss is quick but grounding, nervous but strangely reassuring.
When Danny pulls away Damian still has his lips slightly pucked out, eyes wide and heart beating so fast Damian fears he might become a speedster right there and then.
“I-Is that a yes?” Damian stutters without blinking, the cold feeling of Danny’s lips on his own spreading all over his face leaving a trace of warmth.
“Yeah.” Danny answers and then bites his bottom lip. Damian puts all of his attention on Danny’s mouth at the act and a beehive goes crazy in his chest and stomach. “I-I also like you… for a very long time I thought I only admired you but I-I think that I’ve always have had a crush on you.” Danny says as he realizes that he indeed has been pinning after his friend for a very long time.
Damian’s forehead gently lands on top of Danny’s and both boys lock their gazes, Damian holds Danny’s cheek and sweetly pushes him into another kiss.
Dan being forced to go to Gotham Academy after he starts living with Vlad. Dan comes back for winter break talking about Gotham Academy and accidentally convinces the Fenton parents to send Danny there as well. this ends up with Danny going to Gotham Academy with a vendetta against Dan.
Dan looks a lot like Danny and has mentioned that they are technically family making people think that they are twins. They do the thing where they group twins together so when Dan does something like decide that a space is his or that he doesn't like a person everyone treats it like Danny doesn't either.
Due to everyone being afraid of Dan, no one really wants to talk to Danny. Danny tries not to let it go to his head that people are afraid of him; he does get a little catty when people try to get to Dan through him.
Dani ends up catching wind of what's going on and starts going to Gotham Academy too. It takes about one school year to get everything settled but in the end all three of them become basically the Mean Girls of Gotham Academy.
The next year after all of the Danny shenanigans Damian Wayne is transferred to Gotham Academy.
What if Danny Fenton and Billy Batson become fast friends. Danny is annoyed at cultists trying to send "brides" to the Ghost King. Billy is weirded out when adults try to flirt with Captain Marvel. Danny hits upon the idea that they should be each other's beards. If the Ghost King and the Champion of Magic are very publicly dating, that should keep unwanted suitors off their backs, right?
Of course they are both absolute Chaos Gremlins about it.
Cultist: We offer you this sacrifice, oh great king!
Danny: One moment please *whips out fenton phone* Hey honey, guess what? Some idiots are trying to tempt me away from you again. You got my coordinates?
Billy: *Kool Aid man entrance* Who dares?!
Cultists: Run awaaaaay!
***********
Captain Marvel takes a hit while fighting a villain. Phantom out of nowhere with a steel chair!
Danny: Nobody hurts my schnookums!
Everyone: ???
************
Captain Marvel brings Phantom to the next JL potluck as his plus one, with Danny in full creepy ghost mode.
Billy: Oh yes, we've been on again, off again for the last thousand years or so. We have our differences, but nobody gets me quite like he does! *exaggarated dreamy sigh*
Hal: That's nice...
Meanwhile Danny is shoving an entire burger in his mouth, displaying multiple rows of sharp teeth.
Danny: Man, I love the 21st century! Food sure has changed a lot since I died. And the technology!
Ollie: Oh? When did you die?
Danny: *glares* It's incredibly rude to ask a ghost about their death
Nearby Leaguers are edging away, nervous about being on the menu next.
Flash: Hotdogs! Who wants hotdogs?!
Danny: Oh, me! As long as they don't fight back
Everyone: wtf is going on here
Vlad Masters is....a pain. Not in the usual elite way Lex is used to. Not the empty-headedness of wealthy men like Bruce Wayne or annoyingly humanitarian like Oliver Queen.
Masters was annoying in the confusing kind. He was new money who danced around Lex's manipulations as if they were mere flies. He never gives Lex a reason to take him out but always leaves the bald man feeling weary.
Unsettled. Unsure.
The effect Masters had on him was irritating. Lex Luthor doesn't get unsure.
Luthor's family money came from his father, but it was Lex who turned the moderate company into one of the biggest powerhouses in the world. He was ruthless, always three steps ahead of his peers, using his clever mind to his every advantage.
Lex prides himself in being the danger in plain sight. He charmed kings and politicians alike, carefully placing a controlling hand on the back of their necks with each casual joke or helpful investment. Wherever Lex went, it wouldn't be long before he gained control of the floor and moved his pieces on the board to his liking.
That was if Vlad Masters wasn't in attendance.
Masters rarely join in high-class events- why should he? He was wealthy, of course, but nowhere near Lex's level. He just didn't run in the same circles- but whenever he did, it was like a rock being thrown in Lex's clam river. No matter where he was, Lex found his eyes tracing the underwhelming cut of Masters's suit (Easily one of the cheapest ones there) or catching the man's gaze that hid barely concealed amusement.
That was another thing. All social rules and etiquette indicated that Masters should be chasing after Lex's attention and approval or, at the very least, feel nervous in his presence. Masters acted like Lex was a part of the background, never impolite but never dazed or impressed.
Equals in a way that made Lex's stomach lurch in anxiety.
He has met some people who thought themselves better than Lex through arrogance, but none have taken one look at him and deemed him unimportant. It was as if Lex were just another man walking down the street who was only worthy of getting a passing greeting.
As if the man had a presence at all. Lex was often the man of the hour, and Masters was the guy nursing a drink by the wall, watching the crowd with a calm, nearly detached expression.
Masters was known for being a rather dull wealthy man, only seemingly interested in conversations if it was about his precious football team or random scientific discoveries. Seeing as he made his wealth through scientific discoveries, it was understandable that he knew an awful lot about them.
However, besides being a fantastic investor and stock buyer, Masters didn't have a single social bone in his body.
Lex had witnessed him flout through galas, parties, art galleries, and political rallies without a hint of displeasure or pleasure. Always engaged in conversations, but only if someone approached him first. He would often be seen admiring the decor, as though he was visiting a museum rather than networking or losing himself in a vice-like alcohol or bed partners.
It was almost as if these grand events that others killed to get an invitation were mere walks in a lovely garden for him. A break from whatever hectic life he lived.
Except that after having his people look into it, Masters didn't have a hectic life. He barely had one. No matter how much Lex dug into his background, besides that one accident that landed him in a hospital in college, Masters's life had been a pretty average rise from rags to riches through his hard work and intelligent mind.
A wealth that would likely only be passed down two generations with no hints of wanting to raise it like Lex had. No hints of ambition for something greater. No hints of nefarious schemes or back-alley deals. No hints of any sort of crime.
Just a man who wasn't amazed by Lex's world of wealth.
Lex hated how utterly boring he found the man and yet, how his eyes always followed him through the room, fascinated by how Masters didn't make any sesne. It was irritating how Masters didn't even have to do anything to grab Lex's attention; just walking by had him nearly tripping over his own two feet to watch him.
He didn't even know why he wanted to watch Masters. He wasn't even that handsome! His long silvery hair tied in a perfect tail, his slightly dry-looking skin, the dark circles under his eyes, and that teeth-gritting accent of his.
He didn't even know why Masters sounded like an upper-class British man. He was born in Wisconsin!
What did he take voice acting lessons to craft an accent? (Lex's checked. He didn't. Masters is just like that. It made his heart beat like Superman was about to burst into his office. He called his doctor to check if he's developed a heart condition)
The worst part was the way Master lingered in his mind, sitting at the back of it with inane questions like: What was he doing? Does he like chocolate or vanilla more? Why has he tried to buy the Parkers from Green Bay ninety-five times?
It made him look like a fool. No one made Lex Luthor look like a fool.
In a fit of madness, Lex had ordered Mercy to blacklist Masters from any parties they would host. He could not stand to have that man throw him off his game a second longer.
It worked for about three months, and Lex did not have to suffer from stomach twisting or heart hurting due to the sudden increase in heart rate. Then he ran into Masters at a Wayne Gala of all places where the man was dressed like an idiot with his pure black-on-black outfit only to throw on a Packer's scarf.
It looked so stupid that Lex had to hide in the men's bathroom for an hour after spotting the man chatting quietly with Wayne's butler. He could not describe why that stupid green and gold scarf had nearly brought him to his knees.
According to Mercy, who had eavesdropped, Masters' mother was from England, which explains his odd accent. She didn't quite judge him openly, but Lex could read the subtext of her stare as she reported everything Masters did at the gala.
He danced to one song with Bruce Wayne. Lex had nearly broken his hand when he punched the way to the bathroom.
The night after Waynes' gala, Lex lifted Masters' ban because he missed the rather dull man's presence. This gala had been the season's highlight, and compared to the other various parties, Lex had found himself feeling something besides boredom or contempt.
The next time Lex saw Masters was at a charity five months later. Once again, Masters was wearing his black suit, but this time, he had a silver undershirt and a ridiculous red bowtie. Lex had spent five hours changing outfit after outfit, trying to find the most flattering one, and Masters had the audacity to wear a red bowtie.
"He looks good," Lena says, eyes drinking in Masters, leaning on a wall with a blue drink in hand and gazing over the dancers. Lex felt like hurling up when Masters' lips twitch up into a grin as a man stumbles by with his unimpressed dance partner. "You should ask him to dance."
"No," Lex bites out, feeling sick. "Why would you even say?"
Lena shares a look with Mercy before muttering, " It's almost pathetic how he doesn't know how to handle his feelings."
"What was that?"
"You're pathetic," She says with an eye roll. She grabs Mercy's hand and drags her to the dance floor, though his bodyguard sends him a look, asking for permission. He waves his hand, knowing his sister would bite his head off if he stopped her from dancing with her girlfriend, even if she was currently on the clock.
" I'm not pathetic. I can make a living clone with my own DNA." He grouches, glaring at her as she twirls under Mercy's arm.
"You can?" The familiar accent has Lex jumping a foot in the air. He spins around only to look down into Master's blue eyes. Lex had always noticed that he was a head taller than the other man, but it was one thing to know on paper and another to see in person.
He felt like Masters' blue gaze had grabbed him by the throat. "What?"
"You make clones?" Masters repeat, eyes alight with delight. "I've dabbled in that technology myself. I have a daughter, thanks to it."
Lex stares, feeling off-footed. "You're married?"
"Oh no, no." Masters laughs, though Lex can pick up a hint of anger from the curve of his jaw. "I'm a single father. My daughter happens to have some characteristics of her DNA donors, but she's mine entirely."
"I see." Lex suddenly feels like every social skill he's ever developed has evaporated. Or, at the very least, all of his brain cells because why else would he have blurted out, "I have a son. He's my clone with another man."
"Oh, congratulations. You and your husband-"
"No! I'm single. I mean, I'm not married. I was never married. In fact, it's been a long time since I've been in a relationship. So long I think I forgot how they are supposed to go." Lex cuts in, nearly spilling his drink as he shakes his hand. Masters' fae clouds with amusement, and Lex realizes he's been talking for too long.
"Well, it's hard to date while being a single parent." Masters hums before smiling, and Lex feels like Superman has just punched him through a wall without wearing his power suit. "Science is a wonderful thing, isn't it? To allow us to have our children."
"I suppose"
Masters ponders something before he holds out a card. "My daughter has always wanted to meet others like her. Would you and your son care to join us for dinner if it's not too much trouble?"
Lex thinks he makes a sound of confirmation, and just as he appears, Masters vanishes. He walks into the crowd, disappearing from sight, taking his mind-numbing, amused eyes and his stupid bow tie.
It takes him a moment to realize the card has Masters' phone number. Lex stares at the seven digits, feeling like he's freefalling and he's seconds away from being sick. He stumbles to a chair, falling into it without his usual grace.
Mercy is at his side in seconds, eyeing him wearily as Lena touches his shoulder. "Lex? You okay?"
"I have...to make a call." He hears himself say, stumbling for his phone. With shaking hands, he taps on a contact, bringing the device to his ear and listening to it ring. It takes five rings before it's picked up, and a voice bites out.
"What?"
"Conner." He starts, hands still shaking slightly. "Are you free this Friday?"
AHHHHH MY HEART THIS AMAZING
OH MU GOD THEM THIS IS SOOO CUTE
Talia screaming into her pillow at the end, the two of them being so awkward, the NICKNAMES
*slams head on desk*
*muffled* oh my gooooddddd
Their so adorkable and I love it
PREV/NEXT MASTERPOST
The ride back to the manor has been spend in tense silence so far. Jason has crossed his arms over his chest as he looked out of the car’s window while Talia, who is sitting on the back, is glaring unblinking daggers to her second oldest brother.
“Those are some lovely flowers, miss Talia.” Alfred casually comments during the third red light.
The young girl finally blinks and looks at Alfred with a calmer gaze. “Daniel gave them to me. Do you think that if I plant them in the garden they would stick?”
“We can try.”
“Thank you, Pennyworth.”
“And what about you, master Jason? Do you not have anything to say to your sister?”
“In my defense, Dick told me to do it.” Jason, faster than any speedster, throws his older brother under the bus.
“Tt, and now you listen to Richard’s every word.” Talia growls.
Alfred sighs in disappointment. “It seems I’ll have to talk to master Richard too.”
“Don’t you think she is too young to have dates?” Jason asks Alfred.
“I’m fourteen!” Talia exclaims.
“I think that by far miss Talia has shown great emotional development, she also told me exactly where she was going to be and with who, never trying to mislead me in her endeavor, unlike some other fourteen years old that have been under my care.” Alfred answers Jason as he directs a significant stare to the younger male in the car.
“Urgh, fine. My bad, sorry Talia.”
“You are not forgiven and you and Richard better be prepared for my vengeance.” Talia answers him and then twists her face away from him like the brat she is.
When they arrive to the manor Talia walked off right to her room, not before slamming the car’s door that is, the small bouquet Danny had given her secure in her grasp.
Alfred and Jason stay behind. “Very well, master Jason, I hope you have not forgotten what follows?”
“Oh, come on! Don’t you think I’m little too old to kneel with my arms raised up?”
“Do you prefer to be in hand stand until patrol time, then?”
“I’ll go kneel at my usual spot, thank-you-very-much.” Jason starts walking up the stair when he suddenly stops and turns to look at Alfred. “Do I still have cookie rights?”
“Not until miss Talia forgives you.” Alfred says as he walks pass Jason on the stairs.
“Damn it!”

“Hey lover boy~.” Elle (previously known as Danielle) greets her now nephew as he walks into the apartment with rosy cheeks, blown wide pupils, wobbly smile and core purring like a content cat. “How was your date with, *sigh*, Talia~.” She mockingly does a dreamily sigh and bats her eyelashes at Danny.
Danny goes from happy purring kitten to grumpy old cat as soon as he locks gazes with Elle, the older female moving her eyebrows up and down, waiting for the details as a Cheshire cat smile blooms on her face.
“It was good… she was gorgeous as always.” Danny sighs in love. “But then one of her older brothers pop out from thin air and decided to join us.”
“What?!” Elle exclaims scandalized. She even planned to take the Saturday shift at work to leave Danny and his date on their own!
“Yeah, it was the second oldest, the one that died.” Danny tells her as he walks further into the apartment and takes away his hoodie. “I know I’m not supposed to judge revenants, but he is probably the one that smells the worst out of all the revenants I’ve met.”
“Pfff, you have only met Grundy, baby boo, and I guess now this other one.” Elle says as she rolls her eyes in amusement. “But you know why that is, right? It’s because of the negative emotions that feed the ecto that brings them back.” Elle says as she flops back on the couch. “As he heals and his core settles the smell should go away little by little.”
“I’m glad he’s healing, but did he had to crash on my date with Talia?”
“Like you’re any better; do I have to remind you my last date?”
“I know.” Danny acknowledges his bad habit of turning into an overprotective gremlin whenever someone tries to date his mom or his aunt. “That’s why I get it and didn’t mind it that much. In the end we had a lot of fun though and I got our improvised chaperon to take some pictures for us. Wanna see them?”
“You know I do.” Ellie straightens and sits up, patting the now free space next to her on the couch so Danny could sit with her.
“Op, wait, Talia is calling me. Will have to be later.”
“Yeah, yeah, go to your girlfriend. We’ll talk later.”
“Thanks Elle!”
And just like that Danny is off to his room.
______________________________________________________________
Right after Talia closed the door of her room, she takes her cellphone from her bag while she walked to her desk and, as she clicks over Danny’s number to make the call, she puts both her bag and flowers over the desk.
“Hey, Talia. You home already?” Danny asks as he answers the call.
“Yes, we arrived minutes ago, actually. It’s just-Daniel I’m truly sorry for what happened.” Tt, so embarrassing!
“And I already told you that it’s ok, Talia. Actually, I think it was karma biting my ass back.” Danny says. “Whenever my mom and my aunt Elle have a date my uncle Dan and I get pretty intense, we also follow them and try to intimidate their dates.”
“So, are you the jealous type?” Talia questions with teasing voice as she sits on her bed.
“I like to think that I’m the protector type.” Danny defends his case.
Talia smiles as she allows her back to land on the soft mattres of her bed. “Would you protect me then, oh mighty warrior?”
“Yes.”
And there is a confidence in his words, such certainty in his voice, not doubt, no fear; Talia feels her heart skip a beat.
“W-well, maybe I am the one that will protect you.” She tries to fight back. She is The Robin, gods damn it, Blood of the Bat, The Demon Head’s Heir, a master assassin since the age of six! Pull yourself together woman! She thinks.
“We can protect each other then. Be the ultimate team. How does that sound?”
“Perfect.” Talia softly says as she hugs a pillow to her chest.
“Perfect.” Danny sweetly echoes and Talia melts a little.
“I-I was thinking.” Talia speaks again. “Since my brother disturbed our date I’ll make it to you, so I’ll be the one to plan and take you someplace for our next one.”
“Talia, you don’t have anything to make up to me.”
“I insist. For our second date it is my duty as your girlfriend to also take you to nice places.”
“Oh… a-are we… I mean-am I-boyfriend?” Danny stutters and it is then that Talia realizes what she just said.
“W-well…” Talia’s face is so red she might actually turn into a tomato. “Yes!” To hell with it. “We are boyfriend and girlfriend; it is only natural.”
“I-yes, r-right!” On his side of the phone call Danny literally floating over his bed and glowing like a rave green glowstick.
“Then I’ll call you later, azizi.”
“Y-yes, take care, starlight.”
And as soon as Danny finished talking Talia ended the call, she took a pillow and smothered her gleeful scream against it.
This is actually so cute and I need more of this, how would Talia’s family react? How would Bruce react since he’s known about Danny and his family situation for years? Literately have a scenario in my head where Talia brings Danny home with her brothers still there after a date,
*Talia holding Danny’s hand as they walk into the manner with drinks*
*Tim suspicious and confused* “uh- what do you have there Talia?” 🤨
*Talia sips drink still holding Danny’s hand* “a smoothie”
*Talia walks away with Danny to a separate room*
*Tim still confused* “…since when did Talia have a boyfriend?”
I discovered that there is a canon female version of Damian Wayne, whose name is Talia Kane… and so I was hit by another Dead Serious idea. For this I’ll take a lot of creative liberties, so be warned, there will be some ooc-ness.
First of all, from the batfamily everyone stays the same except for Talia (fem!Damian), and I guess Laurel (canon female Jon) will also be here. And second, Danny will still be male too.
Now, the story; here is where things get a bit messy.
Danny, Jazz, Dan and Ellie come from another dimension. Danny was de aged in the last battle against the G.I.W. now with Jack and Maddie included, before this Dan had already been rehabilitated and with Ellie for some time had been living in Amity Park as distant relatives of Jack’s (Ellie was supposed to be Dan’s daughter). When shit hits the fan Dan and Ellie are the ones protecting Jazz and the now baby Danny, while Sam, Val and Tucker run away from the city along side the few survivors of the military attack that the government launched against Amity Park. Now there is only one way out of the city and is the portal in Fenton Works basement. Jazz, Dan, Ellie and baby Danny jump into it and from the inside Dan manages to destroy it, none of them knowing the destruction that blowing up the portal caused to Amity Park.
Dan takes his sisters and baby to Clockwork who explains to them that what happened to Danny cannot be reverted and that from now on they will have to rise him from scratch.
After checking which timeline was best for baby Danny to grow up, Clockwork finds out about an earth where ectoplasm in abundant despite its slightly cursed state, but nothing a healthy core cannot clean, so the ancient of time sends the four Fentons to Gotham city, the place with most ambient ecto in that world. Before sending them to that world, Clockwork gave them money from the royal vaults, so when Jazz, Dan, Ellie and baby Danny arrived to Gotham they could forge good quality fake papers and buy a small apartment in Old Gotham. They are now Jasmine Nightingale, her brother Dante, her little sister Elle and Jazz’s baby son, Danny (they might have used some ghost magic too). Constantine and Zatanna feel when they come into the realm and fearing an attack from the Infinite Realms they appear before the wounded family… Jazz tells them what happened and that please let them stay since they don’t have nowhere else to go, Batman of course appears right then and allows them to stay as long as they don’t cause any trouble and Constantine and Zatanna monitor them, Dan is not happy but after thinking about the safety of his family he accepts.
Danny grows up protected by the Metahuman Safety Acts, knowing that he is a half-a-ghost and in contact with the supernatural, been Frostbite his family doctor and primary medical caregiver, but his mom, uncle Dan, aunt Ellie, Connie and Zatanna always tell him to not tell anyone the specific kind of meta he is, for many do not believe in ghost or evil magic users could try to kidnap him and use him as a weapon. Danny doesn’t know he technically is the High King of the Infinite Realms, but he does know that he has ghost powers and Zatanna sometimes teaches him some magic. Jazz manages to finish college and becomes a Doctor at Arkham. Dan has a small bar in the corner between the City’s Hall District, Diamont District and Fashion District, nothing big or fancy but with good ambiance, descent food and really nice drinks. And Ellie, is an art student at Gotham U, she is on her third year and also works part time job at a cafeteria near campus. They also work as informants and consultants for the JLD, all of this without Danny knowing.
Many years go by and Danny meets Talia (fem!Damian) at Gotham Academy, everything is very shoujo manga like:
In the hole of one of the many trees that surround the campus a fourteen years old Talia Wayne finds a female cat that had recently given birth a to a batch of four kittens. Since she had already taken a family of possums to the manor that week, she couldn’t risk take the family of felines there in fear of both getting scolded by Alfred and been benched by her father, so she had taken to care for the felines until the kitties grown up a bit to be moved to a shelter, it would only be a couple more days until she found the perfect shelter for the animals. Two days pass and the third day of Talia taking some food to the feline family a voice from above her says:
“Huh, so it was you who has been giving them food.”
Talia reacts by throwing sharp pencils to the stranger on the branches, how come she didn’t realize someone was there already?
“Ancients woman, chill!” Exclaims the black-haired boy who has successfully dodged Talia’s improvised projectiles.
“Who are you?” Talia coldly questions.
“Easy there, I come in peace.” He says and then jumps down the tree branches. “I’m Danny Nightingale, from the science program. You’re Talia Wayne, right? You’re quite infamous in the whole school.”
“You better not be trying to harm these defenseless creatures, Nightingale.” Talia seethes.
“What?! No! I would never! Also, defenseless? I can show the scratches on my arm if you want.” He jokes. “I was just about to move them away. Yesterday I asked my mom if I could take them home and she said yes, so I was gonna take them and hide them in my locker for a bit until it was time to go.”
“Was it you who gave them the hoodie?” Talia inquires as she remembers the Martian Manhunter hoodie she found with the family not so long ago.
“Yeah.” He smiles, Talia manages to catch a glimpse of fangs.
“And does your home cover the necessities of the family?”
“Oh, yes. Yesterday my aunt and I went to buy all we would need for them; we even asked a vet and everything.”
“I see.” Talia says a little sad, she really wanted to take the cats herself, but if Nightingale already had everything necessary…
“Uhm… would you like to help me move them to my locker? And I can show you pictures of what I got and you could tell me if I’m missing something?” Danny suggests her, she clearly did not want to part from the cats.
“That sounds adequate.”
And that is how Danny and Talia met each other. Later that same day they exchanged phone numbers.
At first Danny only send pictures of the cats (he named the mom Asteria, and the four kittens were Orion, Andromeda, Cosmos and Nebula) and Talia send pictures of her own pets and other animal rescues. Soon Danny joined her in volunteering at shelters and rescuing animals from the streets. Talia learned that Danny was quite the activist and had a whole ecological program for the future of Gotham, it was actually this project that got him not only the scholarship into the school but also the attention of both Lucius Fox and Timothy (Tim doesn’t know what Bruce knows about Danny… yet). Talia learns of Danny’s love for space and his hopes of one day work at the JL’s Watchtower in space, the more she learns about him the more she falls for him.
Danny also falls for Talia. He falls for her love for animals, for her fierce demeanor and no-nonsense attitude, for her rightful and just nature, at school they call her the Ice Queen but Danny learns that Talia has a warm smile, a warmer heart and the sweetest of souls, so one day he arms himself with all the bravery he could muster and asks her out.
“You… you’re asking me… on a date?” Talia cannot believe her ears.
“I mean… if you want… you can say no! I just… I think you’re pretty and cool and I thought that maybe…”
“You think I’m pretty?” And Talia hates the incredulity she is feeling. She knows she is pretty, she is the blood daughter of both Talia Al Ghul and Bruce Wayne, of course she is pretty, beautiful even. Many have told her so, but when Danny says it, she cannot help the giddiness her heart feels.
“I-Yeah.” Danny admits, his cheeks tomato red and his eye-blue eyes looking at the floor. “You are the prettiest person I’ve ever met.”
Talia’s smile is shy as she too looks at the floor too.
“So, do you w-wanna?” Danny asks her again, the boy all nerves and uncertainty. He is risking a lot in here, who knows if Talia still would want to be his friend after this!
But then! Then Talia takes his hand and with the sweetest smile she tells him. “Yes, Daniel. I do want to go on a date with you.”
I did it. Jarro and Danny chilling I. The stars ✨
Ok, so Danny has a space obsession and a protection obsession (I headcanon that as a halfa, Danny has two obsessions like all Halfas do which makes them unique to other ghosts.) and so while he can get his fill protecting people in Amity, he struggles with his space obsession. Sure, he can look up everything he can about space and the stars on the internet. He can stay up until 2 am looking at the stars (who needs sleep? He’s a ghost, he can go days, or even weeks without sleep if he wants, same with a lack of air or food.) but it’s just not enough. He craves to learn more, see more. Just as Dani gets that itch to travel, Danny wonders. What would it be like to see the stars up close? Are they really as hot as a dragons fire breath? Hotter!? Or maybe they are so hot they are cold. What does it look like to see plasma dancing across the surface, or touch the gasses of Jupiter? Does Pluto have ice caves like the far frozen? How many planets are actually out there? What about Mars. There’s a whole species living there with a language and culture Danny can’t even fathom! Oh what he wouldn’t give to talk with martian manhunter or Superman.
And what’s stopping him from exploring this? He can fly. He doesn’t need air. He can go intangible if it gets too hot and he’s practically immune to the cold. He wants to touch a space rock! See if they are smooth because there is no wind or earth to rub against them and erode the surface. He wants to see what planets they come from. What minerals they might have. He wants to know if there are currents in space. All of these things are right there just above the atmosphere. Surely it couldn’t hurt to take a quick peek. So he does. During a particularly bad day Danny flies as fast as he can until the earth’s gravity looses its effects. Until his hair is floating as of it’s in water even more than normal. Until he can feel when breathing no longer became a choice (still not necessary though). And it…was beautiful. To be surrounded by space. To see the earth like this. Pictures just didn’t do it Justice. He flew across the solar system and as he passed planets, he longed to fly through them. To search every crevice and learn their secrets. But he had a bigger prize in mind at the moment. The crown jewel of their universe. The closest star he could find. The sun.
Danny was mesmerized. The plasma really did dance across the surface. Like a never ending performance of science and beauty. There were sparks that few in arcs. Danny flew down and played in them, making a game to see how many he could fly under. His ghost core purred in delight. His obsession had never been more satisfied. He spent hours out there. Just exploring what his solar system had to offer. So when he returned? He couldn’t just forget. Pictures and online science theories had nothing on the real thing. He wanted to explore some more. So he did. Every night he would go out and explore the cosmos. Flying from planet to planet. (Either the Martians were still around and Danny made friends with them, even learning their language, or he just looks at their ruins to learn as much as he can). And with both obsessions now being filled, Danny is more settled. More confident. And he can focus better. Everyone notices the change, even his teachers. They just think that he’s paying more attention to his education now. He’s even better during his ghost fights.
But Danny can fly awfully fast. And he soaks up information even faster. Soon his trips take longer and longer as he flies further out. Sometimes he can barely make it back in time for school. And he can't go every night. Sometimes the ghosts won’t wait for daytime so he has to make sure the town will be safe in his absence. Although he’s been able to take more trips ever since Valerie joined the vigilante ranks. But still, he’s getting farther and farther from earth each night. Until one day he’s visited every planet, every star, every comet or debris in their solar system. Which would be fine. He could deal with that if that was all there was. But it wasn’t. Danny saw the stars just out of reach. He saw places the Milky Way was leaning towards. He saw just the barest hints of new solar systems with new planets and stars. And he knew of legends from lanterns that they had posted online. Heard tales from some scientists that have made better telescopes. And his core itches. It aches to know more. See more. Yet he can't go further. And this puts him in a sort of depression. Suddenly he’s back to his old self. Lagging behind. Distracted. Zoning out. Crashing into a few more buildings during ghost attacks. Yet he tries so hard to be satisfied with what he has. He can still fulfill his obsession…it’s just more like chewing on a granola bar rather than eating a decent meal. He’s almost becoming lethargic.
So one day he goes to Frostbite to see if there’s anything he can do to lessen the effects. But the yeti just takes one look at him and gives him the infimap. And suddenly Danny is in a whole new universe in seconds. The planets are purple. The stars are blue. He’s pretty sure there are furry blob-like creatures living on one of those planets. And suddenly he gets that itch, but holding the infimap, he knows he had time, so he lets himself go.
And for a while it’s good. great even. Since he can’t keep asking the yetis for the infimap, he goes over to Wulf to see if he’s up for an adventure. Most of the time he is and they go exploring the galaxies together. And then Wulf had the genius idea of teaching Danny how to make portals. It took a long time but soon, he could concentrate the surrounding ectoplasm enough to weaken it and pull. It took a while since Danny didn’t have ecto claws and would have to use his pure will. But this would allow him to follow his obsession anytime, anywhere. So it was only a matter of time. And once he figured it out? It was like something was unlocked. Danny had never before understood how Ellie could travel so much. But now he did. That feeling when you discover something new. When you add to your reservoir of knowledge. When the patterns in the universe just click. There is nothing Danny could compare it to. And to explore that whenever he wanted? It was so freeing. While Wulf sometimes still joined Danny’s adventures, Danny did most of his explorations by himself.
He meets various planets and aliens. So many different cultures. He learns thousands of languages. Tries all kinds of foods (and it’s a good thing his ghost self has an iron stomach and he’s basically poison resistant.) even found a whole comet where blood blossoms grew. (Which he most definitely avoided). And wasn’t that fascinating? To find out they were from space.
And then during his travels one day he met a space alien starfish.
It was actually a funny story. A meteor shower was about to attack a planet of talking blue monkey creatures with 4 arms. Danny immediately started diverting them and was soon joined by some lantern corps (which his inner fanboy wanted to talk to so bad.). And a tiny starfish in a…Robin uniform? Oh and the starfish could apparently do martial arts which was interesting to watch him karate chop a meteor. He could also talk directly into Danny’s head which the halfa found more interesting. So they got to talking and apparently his name was Jarro. He seemed to be helping the lantern corps as a ‘proxy from earth’ to make better use of his skills.
Danny would run into Jarro a few more times. Sometimes he was with Lanterns and sometimes he would just be exploring the galaxies. They started forming a pretty strong friendship and Danny would start seeking out the starfish alien to travel with him. He knew all kinds of space facts. Apparently he had an eidetic memory. When they explored, sometimes Jarro would just stick to part of Danny. Wrapped around his arm, his waist, sometimes just sticking to his back like a strange backpack. But they always had fun.
So Danny was happy. He could fulfill both obsessions and got a space pal. Everything was great!
Until the GIW caught him.
It would probably be the worst day of his life. There was an explosion in the lab. Something set up by them after they realized Danny frequented that place often. So they set a trap and blew it up. Thankfully, Jazz was at college during this but both his parents were home. When the explosion went off, Danny had tried putting a Barrier around them all. It took everything he had to maintain it. That’s how they found out he was phantom. Danny had a few moments where his parents said they accepted him but he couldn’t hold the barrier for long. His parents said that they loved him and then everything went green. He woke up in a lab, tired and injured. His only saving grace being that he remained in phantom form. And he was determined to remain so.
Danny’s time at the GIW was a haze but eventually, he managed to escape. Bleeding, and tired, and still recovering from the burns in the explosion, Danny made a portal straight to Amity. Only when he got there, it was a ghost town. Streets were empty, buildings were boarded up. Even the Nasty Burger was deserted. As for his house, there was nothing but a crater left and some scattered debris. Danny looked everywhere but there was no one. No Jazz. No Sam. No Tucker. No one. and he was tired. And everything hurt, and he needed a friend. Someone he could trust. So in a daze he made a portal and tried to just project safe. Safe safe safe. Somewhere he knew he would be protected. And so Jarro got a surprise when his space buddy suddenly popped out of a green portal, bleeding green and clearly passed out. He didn't know what to do. He didn’t know how to help him. But Jarro knew someone who would.
So with a speed never before seen from a tiny starfish, he flew to earth. Bringing his friend straight to his father. Because surely batman could help!
And with his appearance, the green blood, the knowledge of space facts. The lack of wanting to talk about where he came from (and the nightmares crying out for his parents). This is how the bats became convinced that Jarro brought them an injured alien.
Danny, after his parents turned from Ghost hunting to being the first official Ghost Anthropologists, decided to repurpose some of their weapons.
And, well, there was a contest being run by Wayne Enterprises; whoever can design a robot that will help the environment got prize money and a grant.
Danny, in all his mechanical engineering prowess, was bored. So he designed a thing. Repurposed the Fenton Guns into a cute robotic tortoise that would clean the beach.
It spiraled from there, and now Fenton Works is the leading name in green technology that's cleaning up the Earth bit by bit. Sea Dragon robots that clean oil and trash from the ocean; beach tortoises that clean the sand and beach and deposit their hoard of trash into designated receptacles that Danny uses as material to make more robots; Cryptid "stalker" robots with long legs that delicately patrol forests to perform "fuel management" and clear out the underbrush to help manage wildfires; moving gargoyle robots that sit on top of skyscrapers to help clean the air with huge sail-like wings, etc.
Basically, Danny pulls a Doctor Elisabet Sobeck, but with less world ending and more actually helping. (Not that the world ending was Elisabet's fault, of course, but different franchise)
And due to the number of times aliens try to attack and rogues send their own robots to attack people, naturally Danny installed self-defense protocols, along with one single golden rule written into the very OS of every single robot; Save Humans Whatever the Cost.
Problem is, Batman has never seen robots like this not be used for evil purposes, and he knows that their power source (a closely guarded Fenton Works secret) is some sort of liquid that glows green.
He really only knows of one liquid that glows green.
So he's determined to find everything he can about Fenton Works, because there's no way that Daniel Fenton isn't actually a villain in the making.
Danny's just thrilled for the chance to work with Wayne Enterprises.
Based on the idea that the bots become sentient and return as ghosts, we have this scenario
An old couple who lost their family befriending a rabbit teddy bot, with your usual sweet grandma and “grandpa with the pet he didn’t want”. The bot, who they named Willow is their unofficial grandchild. The bot would always visit them, assisting the couple with whatever they were doing when it was there. Grandpa named the bot Willow because willows are the first tree the bot planted in the garden with him.
After the invasion, Willow was quite literally smashed to bits, having fought to the end to protect grandma and grandpa. They only knew it was Willow because of the accessories grandma gave it. The couple grieved for the little one, but eventually sent what’s left of Willow back to Fenton Works, hoping that whatever they recycle out from the parts, it will bring others happiness like Willow did.
On the other hand, Willow, now a ghost is desperately trying to interact with the couple, unaware of the fact that they can’t see it. It has so many questions, only if grandpa would answer them like how he would always tell it info.

Hey, where are my DC x DP people at?
What if Jason came back wrong because the GIW had his little ghost self captured for 6 months?
Imagine it. The warehouse in Ethiopia happens to be on some powerful crossing leylines and a GIW agent is stationed to keep an eye on the area. She sees the Joker and his men. She sees Robin enter the building. Maybe the place is bugged and she even knows what's happening and she realizes... This is their chance. The GIW could get data on a ghost as it forms! This is unprecedented!
So, she waits and watches and records data.
And when the warehouse explodes, when the Batman has come and gone, when the response team has put out the fire... She searches. She finds Robin's ghost as it begins to form. She captures it, the scientific find of the century.
And six months of inhumane, dehumanizing experiments later, the ghost of Robin seems to shred itself as it's ripped violently through all the anti-ecto restraints and containments.
Maybe there's a perfect sphere left behind and Jason doesn't realize that he's missing his core. Maybe the recorded experiment logs are out there, waiting for the right hacker to release them. Maybe Team Phantom rescued the core and are searching for the being it belongs to.
Just some thoughts~
"Why do like that crossover? Those are so different, why would you even think to cross them over? What's the point of it?"
Shit, y'all, it just sparks joy? It's fun to read? Fics get super cute and some get deep into the concept of family trauma and recovery from long-term abuse? It inspires really good art?
DC doesn't have a proper equivalent for Danny Phantom, so go ahead and squish him in there. Give the bats a new buddy, call it enrichment.
The Battle Falcon Arc continues
Can u tell my love for masked character designs. Be it pull-overs or gas masks or helmets or the classic plague doctor mask, one can express so much with just two little squinty eyes
Spreading more Duke and Danny friendship/romantic relationship/what-have-you in this cold cold world. Not enough Danny&Duke content out there so I'm breaking out the mixing bowl to bake some myself
I just like these two hanging out together, they have such good chemistry :D
--------
p.s. the idea of Danny’s mask being a plague doc's mask comes from @void-of-unparalled-chaos
ppp.ssss. the inspo of this comic also comes from @transsunmoonwizzard ‘s tags on the original falcon post. big thanks to you both, hot choco for everyone <3
Heyoo, my batfam and bart connoisseurs!
Interested in an upstarting multifandom server?Come join me and our new friends!
Hang out, kick up your feet. Talk fics, fanart, prompts, headcanons from all sorts of fan bases! DC, Danny Phantom, Dr Who, Good Omens, Marvel, crossovers!
Come over and let’s chat!
if you've wanted a discord server that isn't limited to a single fandom, but instead has any fandom you want to chat in, good news!
there is one!
it's pretty much brand new, so there aren't many people, but as it grows I'll be adding different fandoms, so if there's something you're interested in and it doesn't have its own channels, just let me know.
there are currently channels for Danny Phantom, DC, the DPxDC crossover (because lets face it dpxdc is it's own fandom at this point), Marvel, Doctor Who and Good Omens
I hope to see you all in there!
I ended up doing little sketches cause I'm having fun with this. It looks much better in person I swear. I tried to do some neck crown but I don't know if you can really tell. Also I don't know what a NASA hoodie would look like, forgive me. Too lazy to find a reference.
We don't mention the one on bottom, okay? Okay.
Okay okay okay long post but,
I need to say this cause it's nearly midnight and this idea is keeping me awake! Please tell me if you like the sound of the idea or if you think it's a bit of a stretch lol
So I started thinking about this today and cannot stop but y'know those Danny Phantom AU where Danny has a space obsession but everyone assumes it's actually a protection obsession?? I had an idea where, what if they're not assuming and Danny's pretending to have a protection obsession because he doesn't want his rouges to feel guilty about keeping him from his obsession?
Here me out! What if Danny feels like pretending to have a protection obsession is necessary to keeping his rouges happy and content while fulfilling their obsessions? He wants them to be happy because it means they'll be more satisfied and will come around less (he hopes). His rouges are more than happy to attack because they feel like they're helping Danny fulfill HIS obsession!
Eventually Danny starts to think of it like he's performing for those around him, like he's the star of the show he didn't realize he was in- He finds himself watching plays and operas and broadway shows and he enjoys them?? Which he didn't expect! Soon he becomes a bit obsessed with putting on the perfect performance for others, but obviously that has side effects on his mental health.
Maybe we can bring in some Ghost King Phantom? Like he becomes the Ghost King once he's graduated university or something and to his surprise, Frostbite tells him that he has a new Performance Obsession and of course this can give an opportunity for angsty spirals... Also if I'm being completely honest, the design and personality I have in my head for him is reminiscent of Furina from Genshin Impact, which I'm pretty sure was an accident, especially because I finished the newest quest yesterday... But whatever... I'll worry about it later.
If enough people like the idea I'll probably put a story and designs together, might even throw some dpxdc into the ring who knows, I sure don't! Anyway, my first time actually putting thought into an AU idea and I'm having a lot of fun with it. Let me know what you think!
Okay okay okay long post but,
I need to say this cause it's nearly midnight and this idea is keeping me awake! Please tell me if you like the sound of the idea or if you think it's a bit of a stretch lol
So I started thinking about this today and cannot stop but y'know those Danny Phantom AU where Danny has a space obsession but everyone assumes it's actually a protection obsession?? I had an idea where, what if they're not assuming and Danny's pretending to have a protection obsession because he doesn't want his rouges to feel guilty about keeping him from his obsession?
Here me out! What if Danny feels like pretending to have a protection obsession is necessary to keeping his rouges happy and content while fulfilling their obsessions? He wants them to be happy because it means they'll be more satisfied and will come around less (he hopes). His rouges are more than happy to attack because they feel like they're helping Danny fulfill HIS obsession!
