Danny joins Young Justice (how idk but I would guess chaos) and due to being in constant excessive danger due to all the ghosts, hunters, and his previous home security, tends not to notice things below a certain danger level.

Example:

Danny: *walks over a trip wire, around a pressure plate, ducks under a laser, and continues on completely oblivious*

YJ member behind him: *trips on the wire, causes a cascade of activated traps and barely makes it out* phantom! Why didn’t you tell me about the trip wire?!

Phantom: There was a trip wire???? *genuine confusion*

M’gann: I can tell you are genuinely confused but how did you miss the wire? *baffled*

“Wait—how do you know Lambert?” Geralt asked, the question slipping out sharp as a drawn blade, caught somewhere between suspicion and disbelief.

Jaskier blinked at him, entirely unbothered. “Oh, that? He’s my godfather,” he said, as casually as one might remark on the weather.

Geralt stared. Truly stared. His eyes widened until it seemed a wonder they did not tumble free and roll across the floor. “How,” he said slowly, “is that even remotely possible?”

“Well,” Jaskier began, with the air of someone about to recount a perfectly ordinary tale, “it all started when I was a baby, and a fae tried to curse me.”

Geralt’s brow furrowed. “A fae cursed you?”

“Tried,” Jaskier corrected, lifting a finger as though this distinction were sacred law. “Important difference. You see, the fae was hopelessly in love with my mother—tragic, really—who, inconveniently, was in love with my father. Then along came me, which did not improve matters. Jealousy, curses, the usual sort of thing.”

Geralt said nothing. He simply looked at him, face carved from stone, as Jaskier carried on, bright as birdsong.

“Anyway, it’s my first name-day, everyone’s celebrating, and this fae decides it’s the perfect moment for revenge. But—fortunate twist—Lettenhove had been dealing with drowners at the time, so my father had already hired a witcher.”

Geralt exhaled through his nose, the pieces clicking into place despite himself. “Lambert.”

Words cannot describe how much I love this fic, so maybe three months worth of drawings can!

Fic: I May Be Invisible, but I Still Look Good by @dandylovesturtles

It has been alittle over a year since Danny was chased out of Amity after a bad reveal with his parents. They tried to convince everyone that he died but far too many people saw him running away from their shots. They were avoided before but now they were dispised. Tucker moved away not long after that, his parents didn't think the town was safe with the Fentons. Jazz went off to college.

They keep in contact, still trying to look for Danny. Trying to avoid Vlad, the GIW, and the Fentons.

Now Sam is here, at a gala, with her parents trying to introduce her to older, richer families and their children. Like the Wayne's, with their trillions of dollars, and many single kids.

That's when she sees him, with the Wayne's, their newest adoptee Is Danny.

Thinking quick she says something she never thought she'd say. 'Hey mom, I'm gonna go flirt with one of the Wayne's.'

Her mom stared, wide eyed. Then handed her something and said 'The Wayne's are trillionares. Go be a rebellious teenager and have some fun.'

It was a condom. Her mother just handed her a condom. She didn't even ask which Wayne! From the 12 year old Damien to the 29 year old Richard! Just "be rebellious and have fun"!

Can he create it in an enclosed space and can that enclosed space be another human body?

You know when people say "There were signs...."? This is one of those moments.

I jest, I jest.

But Danny has done something like that before, though he used it on plants. If someone or something is touching him, he can cover it with ice. I think if he had enough time to practice, he would have learned how to make the ice go through a solid- likely with a touch of intangibility- and then freeze whatever is on the other side of that solid.

That could include the human body's interior. I personally love morally grey characters more than dark characters, so if I were to have Danny do this, it would likely be on someone who really deserved to be ended.

Joker, Scarecrow, and Pyg are the villains I personally hate and make Danny kill on the spot, so if he were to freeze anyone's insides, it would be them. He might even do it without letting the ice show on the outside. Like they would be in the middle of a villain monologue, and Danny, as casually as can be, walks by, taps them, or bumps into them for a brief second, and freezes them from that tiny contact. They fall to the ground dead, and no one would see the crystallized ice until thier autopsies.

This would, of course, convince the heroes that someone who killed so easily was at large. Out there was someone who had ice powers with deadly accuracy, and obviously had no quarrels with murder. The Bats would be on the hunt while Danny would just be another face in the crowd, blending in because he doesn't show any outside hint of his powers.

No meta gene to track. No record of past crime. No ecto-tech that's reliable. Not even signs of being a genius, since it seems his parents gave all the smarts to his elder sister.

In his human form, after years of practice, he can suppress every part of Phantom. He is a fully average, plain human when he dons his Fenton half.

But he's also someone tired of the crazy people hurting regular joes like him. He believes in second chances, not twenty chances. He's jarred, exhausted, slightly cynical, and has a permanent solution. Danny won't go out of his way to kill every supervillian, nor does he go out and play hero- he's got bills to pay and his mouth to feed. He has an employed adult - but if he happens to encounter something?

Don’t worry! He isn’t hurting anyone who doesn’t deserve it already… 😌 He’s a little messed up…

Tim: You need my help? Me?

Damian: Yes. Unfortunately, Richard decided that for me to complete the list of tasks he assigned me, I needed to partner with you. It will be painful, but I believe we can co-exist until the completion of this assignment.

Tim: Just don't do them

Damian: I will do them, and I will do them with perfection. You will collaborate with me, or there will be consequences

Tim: Oh, I'm so scared. What are you gonna do? Cut my line again?

Damian: Worse

Tim: *Scoff*

Damian: I will send Superboy all the poetry you wrote about his arms and buttocks

Tim's blood draining from his face: What?

Damian: Every last one. Even the Haiku.

Tim: Not the Haiku!!!

Damian: Yes. He will learn what you wish he would do to you in a 5-7-5 syllable format, you dirty little harlot.

Tim: No! NO! Okay, I'll help, just don't release my poems.

Damian: Excellent, I'm glad we see eye to eye. Now, our assignment is a list of tasks with varying time limits. I organize them into two categories: Most achievable and most pressing. The ones that overlap will be our top priority.

Tim: Okay. What's our first one?

Damian: Convince Daniel Fenton to marry Richard. We must make haste, for Fenton is currently engaged to the hero Phantom, but they are not yet wed.

Tim shock: We are NOT breaking up a marriage!

Damian: They are not married yet so marriage will not be broken. We are simply, enlightening, Fenton of a better option. To the Batmobile!

Tim: Wait we're doing this as ROBIN AND RED ROBIN!?

Damian: Make Haste!

Dick two floors above them chatting with Jason over a cup of tea: So I gave Damian some tasks to complete because the parenting books said he needed a chorse list to teach responsibility and create stimulation.

Jason: Damian doing chores? I find that hard to believe

Dick: He did reject doing "servant work," so I got creative. I made a bunch of fake tasks like "visit the local museum and write a security report". By the time he finishes, Damian will be well-rounded.

Jason: Brilliant. What else was on there?

Dick: Let me pull it up. I sent it through email-OH NO

Jason: What?

Dick: I SENT THE WRONG ONE. I SENT THE BUCKET LIST FROM WHEN I WAS FIFTEEN!

Jason: I'm sure Damian will realize that its the wrong list

Cass walking by: He didn't. He's on his way now to stop Daniel Fenton from getting married

Dick: I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT GUY SINCE HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION! WE HAVE TO STOP DAMIAN

Duke poking his head in: Are you sure? Cause he got Tim to help him. This is the first time I've seen them bond

Jason: How did that happen?

Dick:....number 5 on my list was to "Get along with my lame brother"

Jason touched: I made the bucket list?

Steph opening the window she lowkey used to break in: Ugh guys not to alarm anyone but Tim just texted me that he is going to stop a wedding to the Ghost King and he needed me to wipe his computer data. I think he's gone off the deep end again. Anyone want to help me hold him down for his needle and grippy socks?

Dick horrified: Danny is getting married to the GHOST KING?!

Bruce at the doorway carrying multiple pizza boxes: Hey kids I brought pizza who wants to-

Dick: OUT OF THE WAY OLD MAN. I HAVE TO SAVE HUMANITY

Not to worry, Danny can be the shortie, with dark curls, who is the most intimidating man in all of o Gotham, even more than all the rogues combined. Well, he's about 5' 7'' since he inherited Maddie's height, not Jack's, but compared to Ian, who is 6' 3'', he seems short.

Ian is disarming on purpose. He survived being the son of a struggling single mother from Crime Alley, not by being tough, but by using his innocent, pretty face to manipulate his way through life. Nothing too bad, but just enough that he can wrap the right people around his fingers to get a leg up in life. Maybe he smiles a little more cheerfully at the bodega lady when she offers to show him her new grandbaby photos, stays for hours upon hours to hear about the baby's milestones, and he walks out with an extra bag of meat and a forever promise that he pays less because he's "family now."

He stops to listen to a crying man's story of his girlfriend leaving him, and helps him home from the bar when Ian thinks he's had enough, then three days later, when the cop pulls him over for speeding, Ian is on his way without a ticket and an invitation to join the same man for drinks. He makes friends with the cop's friends, and when he walks in Gotham, he doesn't have to worry about the police like most residents of Crime Alley do. How would he? They're all drinking buddies. He waves and sometimes buys them a coffee.

He goes around selling candy bars to the local kids right outside the school, not breaking the rules on selling on school grounds by staying just 5 feet outside the bounds, and using the money to buy all the teachers a gift for Teacher's Appreciation Day. He breezes through school because all the teachers know he's a sweet boy, and sometimes sweet boys need extra time with late assignments.

Ian is kind, don't get me wrong, but his kindness is calculated. It's how he survived Gotham, and some may call him manipulating, but he doesn't think it applies to him. Because he never sets out to manipulate anyone or tries to convince them of anything, he simply sees the opportunity they can give him when they meet and makes sure to take it.

Kindness always finds a way to repay those who spread it, and people tend to be kinder to those they consider attractive, so Ian makes sure to use those tools for his own good.

Danny knows this. Noticed it the first day they spoke and respect him for it. Ian is a kind man with a good heart. Still, he won't allow anyone to hurt him, so he's aware of his social surroundings and carefully guides interactions like a conductor guiding separate instruments. Danny thinks it's an impressive ability since he just straight-up hates everyone. and can't stand the idea of putting that much work into getting everything in his favor.

But you know I like the idea of the round glasses. I can see him wearing contacts and doing everything in his power to hide the fact. Then one day his last pair rips- He has to switch them out monthly-, and since he's blind as a bat, he takes his glasses.

He's super embarrassed about how thick his lenses are, even with the thin metal frames masking them a little. He was made fun of in school, and those taunts about his glasses stuck with him into his adulthood. That is, until Danny sees him, pauses, considers his face, and then casually says, "You should wear those more often. You look like Adonis got an office job with them."

Ian is walking on cloud nine for hours, especially since he now notices people are still sending him appreciative looks, if not more, with his glasses. They do make him more attractive, because now his face isn't round with baby fat, and he's grown into a man.

He chooses to wear them only around Danny, in late afternoons when the two have coffee breaks in Danny's office, and the only source of light is Danny's various candles placed around the room, so he can "rest his eyes after staring at screens all day". Mostly because whenever he swaps his contacts for glasses, Danny stares a little as if mesmerized, then his boss's face softens behind his coffee mug.

Jason: They make you say that?

Danny tired: Yes, they make me say that. What do you want to order?

Jason: I don't know. What has the least soul?

Danny: ....You're one of those guys mad that we built over the old chili hot dog vendor's spot, aren't you?

Jason: IT WAS THE BEST FOOD IN GOTHAM AND YOUR COMPANY RAN HIM OUT.I'VE BEEN EATING THESE DOGS SINCE I WAS SIX

Danny: Sir. I don't own this place. I'm just a minimum wage worker. I did not make the corporate decision to screw over a fellow lower-middle-class man.

Jason: Right. Right. Sorry. I....I love those hot dogs. And now he's gone. Run out by a big company that sells the same thing with no taste.

Danny: He's not gone. He just two street away. I bought my lunch from him.

Jason: what?

Danny: Yeah, I liked his food too. So I helped him get a permanent spot with the city. Here is his card.

Jason: I love you

Danny: Yeah a lot of his clients tell me the same.

Jason leaning over the counter to stare into Danny soul: No. I love you.

Danny inches from Jason's face: Ugh. Okay?

Jason: If you need anything. You tell me. And if anyone bothers you, I will kill them for you. I will send Red Hood after them. You just say the word.

Danny: I...I rather not.

Jason: Okay. I'm leaving my phone number for you just in case.

Danny: Yup.

The poor minimum wage fella: ... Am I hallucinating?

Bruce: I would be very mad

Tim: Yeah, but how much is that? Say, from a scale of 1 to 10?

Bruce: Depends on what the rule was.

Tim: Right. Thats fair information to ask for. Okay, so I broke the rules-

Bruce: Was that a s at the end of the rule? As in plural?

Tim: *sigh* I cloned myself, and the other parent knows I'm Red Robin.

Bruce: ....what

Tim: But! But you're a grandpa! Meet Thomas Drake-Wayne, Tommy for short. I was named after his great-grandfather. *Holds up baby*

Tommy: *Toothless smile of a three-month-old*

Bruce crying: He's beautiful! Hello Tommy. Hello darling. I'm your grandpa!

Tim: So from 1 to 10 you're at a-?

Bruce: Who's the other parent? *cradling the baby*

Tim:....Phantom

Bruce: I'm at a 20.

Tim: But-! You're holding the baby! How can you be mad while holding the cutest baby in the world!

Bruce: This is the cutest baby in the world, and he's in the clear, but you? You broke two of the most important rules in this household, and with Phantom of all people?

Tim: He's a nice guy!

Bruce: He's a delinquent!

Tim: So are we! We break the law every night!

Bruce: I would disown you if it didn't mean losing Tommy. Your branch hasn't been sawn off from the family tree because of this little guy. Remember that.

Tim: I named him after your father.

Bruce: In a pathetic attempt to distract me from you cloning yourself with that delinquent. I bet you told him who you were when you two were kissing on the gargoyle over by Old Gotham. I'm even more horrified to say you might have gone further than that.

Tim: ....how did you guess that?

Bruce: I have a camera there. I had to throw the monitor and processor into the bath when I saw you two.

Tim: What?!

Bruce: *points* Whore. Now if you excuse me, I have to go buy a entire baby store for this little guy. Yes. I do yes I do!

Tommy: *Baby babbles*

Bruce: Yes.

Danny floating through the front door: You didn't give me the signal. What happened?

Tim: The sucking up didn't work.

Unearthed, Reborn by QueenOfTheQuill

Quill writes the best dialogue. The words just flow so organically, and they have such a nice balance of humor and sincerity. Cannot stress enough how funny their character interactions are. I'm also a sucker for Everlasting Trio, and they write it so well.

We're Longing for Daylight by AKelaNakamura

Akela has such a masterful grasp on writing emotion and tone. I love how she describes emotion so much, and weaves it into lore with ectoplasm and ghosts. She has several other DPxDC and DP fics to enjoy, all of it slaps.

Shovel Talk by SummersSixEcho

This is a dead tired (Danny/Tim) fic and I love how Summers crafted their relationship for it. The fic is so funny, with lots of fun puns. It's just two boyfriends being goofy and going through awkward situations and I love it dearly. I love all of Summers' DPxDC works, and she has great DP only ones too!

Recognized by AgentIanLegend

This is one of the first completed fics I read for the crossover, and it still lives in my head rent free. It's complete, very well written, and the story is interesting throughout with a bunch of twists and turns.

Premeditation by Chromatographic

Super interesting fic with neat lore throughout. I love the dynamic between Danny and his friends and Jazz in it, with the roles they've carved out. The general plotting nature of the story is very neat.

Noise and Light by TheWritingOwl

I'm so soft for this fic, it's SO sweet. Deaged fics have a special place in my heart, and I love the emotions throughout this fic. It's ripe with family feels and Owl describes it all beautifully.

Family Friction by Halfagone

Halfa has SUCH a prolific library of DPxDC fics and all of it is quality. I need to read more of them. Tis oneshot in particular has a special place in my heart. The premise is just so fun and goofy and I love how it's executed.

Build-A-Boyfriend by NightShiftShenanigans

I spent my entire time reading this fic with a goofy smile because it is just insanely fun and cute, with great dialogue throughout. I love it.

A Halloween in Amity by spite_sapphic_starlight

I love this poly ship, I love the scenario, I love the dynamics and the dialogue and-- it's just a good time. Just the occult shop alone is enough reason to love this.

Knight of the Boyking by Milaley

I love the angst in this one and the general setup from the beginning. The start of it has such a hook and it's just great throughout from there.

The Curious Case of D. Grayson by brothebro

I LOVE the Everlasting Trio dynamic in this fic and the shenanigans throughout. God, there's so many shenanigans and they're all great. Just a thousand misunderstandings and the domino effect of each lol. I love it.

Afterimage by TorScrawls

The descriptions in this one are just plain wicked. It still really stands out to me, as just being such a neat way to describe how mortals perceive Danny and his powers.

Close Enough to be Whole Again by hailsatanacab

Literally the twin fic that inspired me to write my own. The fic has insanely good descriptions and carries emotion so well. I love Hail's writing style a lot.

Vacation Crashers by Imp_y

I love everything about this one from the premise to how the story unfolds to the conclusion. This was another one of the first finished long DPxDC fics I read and I still love it dearly.

Voices That They Left by catmiint

This one has such an intriguing build up, with a lot of concerning things boiling beneath the surface. I'm not caught up on it atm, but I need to fix that soon because the story is really neat.

Liminal Familiarity by isitcowboytimes

This fic goes heavy on the angst and is wonderful written. There's this like really melancholic, liminal feel throughout the fic and it really sticks out to me.

To Join the Whispers by ayamari_no_goshi

Another one of the first completed long fics I read for the crossover (I think the actual first, based on bookmark date). I feel like this fic was the first one for a lot of people, and I definitely think it set the bar for Jason and ectoplasm shenanigans.

Ghosts Don't Go to Highschool by Evandarya

This is the first DPxDC fic in my bookmark history and I love it. I love the premise, the underlying story, the building relationship between Danny and Tim. I've had the pleasure of betaing for the most recent chapters and it's been a blast also!

Have You Heard of Danny Wayne? by FortunateCookie

This one has fantastic dialogue and I love the building shenanigans in it. All around a fun read, especially the chatfic portion.

Memories Lost in Time by MidnightsFury

The building lore and story in this one is so neat, I can't wait to see where it goes. The fact that it's a twin fic too has me vibrating with excitement, just waiting for the shenanigans to really settle in. I don't care how long it takes these nerds to find each other, I'm here for the shenanigans.

I just found out that Tumblr only allows 100 links per post, so my second DC x DP master post is HERE, where I will have my WIPs
