“Well... all right. Dani Clayton had inexplicably just called her beautiful and was now offering to share a drink with her. Maybe Owen’s insistence she attend their five-year reunion was paying off, after all.
She'd spoken too soon.”
[or the high school reunion reunion]
These hearts adore (Everyone the other beats hardest for)
Damietober ficlets!
[updated as inspiration strikes]
At Your Service (in progress)
“Toolbox in hand, the woman steps around Dani as she stands frozen, processing.
She’d already felt awkward enough coming down here at five past six in the morning, but evidently her concerns about waking the woman had been unfounded. She had not thought to be concerned about being refused service, even if she’d still felt a bit guilty asking for it.
“I, umm, I’m sure you must be busy.”
She turns and watches as the woman saunters down the hall.
“But if you - just when you have - ”
The woman cuts her off with a knock on the wall right beside the elevator and doesn’t stop moving. Dani just gapes for a moment, dumbfounded. Maybe the woman was having a bad day. Dani certainly was.”
[or tenant Dani & superintendent Jamie]
Wishes come true, not free (complete)
Dani is running from her prince when she meets a stranger in the woods. A stranger who will change her life.
[or an Into The Woods-inspired fairytale]
Confetti (in progress)
“I’m not here for you.”
Maybe it’s harsh. No, it is. Categorically. But it’s also the truth. Anything less is harsher. No one ever seems to appreciate that.
Still, Theo hesitates. Rather distracted by the kid.
The kid in Trish’s arms, wearing a flannel hoodie — Trish’s flannel hoodie — and squirming so aggressively the hood falls back, revealing a tangle of brown curls equally disproportionate to her tiny frame.”
[When Theo comes home to surprise the twins on the eve of their Sweet Sixteen (and a grim anniversary), she gets a surprise of her own: cousins.]
Damie: A Vision (in progress)
WandaVision-inspired reinterpretation of Dani and Jamie scenes from The Haunting of Bly Manor as 90s-2010s TV comedies, including Friends, Derry Girls, Fleabag, general mockumentary-style and more to be added...
[Written in pseudo-screenplay-style. It will make more sense once you get into it... sort of.]
One-shot AUs:
If it’s not you (it’s not anyone)
“Sure, Jamie thinks it’s a bit weird. Dani’s idea for “getting in the spirit.” An idea she shares over dinner on a late November night, bright-eyed and pink-cheeked with all the nervous energy of someone pretending to think of something they clearly feel very strongly about off the top of their head.
But her roommate is a bit of a weirdo. And she loves her all the more for it… not that Dani would know. Dani doesn’t even know Jamie’s gay.”
[or the closeted Jamie discord prompt]
Third Time’s The Charm
1) Inviting Jamie to sleep over had been questionable.
2) Breaking into her mother’s wine supply had been ill-advised.
3) Kissing Jamie had been where it all went wrong.
[Or it's still 1987 but they're in high school and Jamie inadvertently reveals her deepest insecurity]
Canon-Compliant One-shots:
The Morning After
“Uh, Hannah’s with her now, so… breakfast?” Smiling, Dani nods toward the door. “Not sure what Owen’s making, but it’s always… ”
She stops smiling as she sees that Jamie isn’t. Jamie looks almost lost, in fact. Dani cups her right cheek.
“Jamie?”
[After getting Flora back to bed, Dani goes back to her room.]
Closure
“Did ya see her?”
Dani whips her head up. How could Jamie possibly know that? She didn’t even know what... oh, that her...
Dani shakes her head.
“Eddie- ” She sees Jamie’s eyes go wide. “Eddie’s mom. She’s here.”
[Shortly after celebrating her and Jamie's 10-year anniversary, Dani has an unexpected reunion.]
This is just for you
“Oh, I don’t mind. You have more clothes than I do, anyway. And those sweaters of yours take up a lot of room.”
Dani laughed.
“Thank you, but it’s - it’s not for clothes, Jamie.”
Jamie finally took her eyes off the chest, furrowing her brow as she turned to Dani, who took a deep breath.
“I thought - I thought this could be like your… your rucksack… but bigger.”
[Part One of Damie Birthdays.]
A Proper Date
“What?”
Her voice had jumped an octave, and Dani had to bite her lip to keep from laughing. It wasn’t that it was funny, really, but it kinda was. Jamie had gotten herself all stressed out trying to make Dani happy, while Dani had been trying to do the exact to make Jamie happy. They really were quite a pair.
[Jamie wants to take Dani on a proper date for their one-month anniversary, but it doesn't go as planned.]
Lost in Translation
“S’what’dyathin? Preecooinnit?!”
“Hmm.”
Dani couldn’t help smiling. Jamie was beaming, and it was infectious. But with Jamie looking at her expectantly, she was also buying time, grasping at straws, trying to process any of what Jamie had just said.”
[A 'fired up' Jamie takes Dani on a walkthrough of what will soon be The Leafling, but her accent gets so thick that Dani can't understand her.]
Earlier That Night
"She quite likes you, you know."
Jamie immediately chokes and puts the glass down, watching Hannah smile as she coughs. After a moment, Jamie wipes her mouth and hesitantly eyes Owen, who’s sitting across from her next to Hannah.
"Oh, don’t worry about me."
He nods toward Hannah.
"We talk about you two all the time."
[Hannah has a heart-to-heart with Jamie after noticing something's changed between her and Dani.]
Dr. Dani
“The back room was the only place left to check. She’d knocked but gotten no response. So now she was opening it for good measure. If Jamie wasn’t in here, it was then time to start panicking.
But, as it turned out, she was… and Dani immediately started panicking. Jamie was curled up on the floor, shaking, breathing heavily and alarmingly pale.
“Jamie?!”
[or the sickfic that helped a reader realize they have hypoglycemia IRL, Part 10 of Caretaker Dani]
Valentine’s Day 1988
“Jamie, it’s okay!”
Jamie was still panicking but turned back to look at her. Dani slowly rubbed her arms.
“Whatever your present is, I’ll love it.” Dani smiled softly. “Because it’s from you.”
Jamie started to calm down after a few moments, her lips turning up slightly, then looked down and cleared her throat.
“I just figured ya must’a gotten flowers… uh, before.”
[Part Two of Damie Holidays]
London Calling
“I know you, don’t I?”
Dani turned to find an undeniably attractive woman who looked mid-to-late-30s had joined them in the alley. She had a British accent, unsurprising considering they were in London, that was posher than Jamie’s.
And her eyes were fixed on Jamie, her face a mix of contemplation and amusement. As Dani watched, the woman lowered her gaze to Jamie’s lips.
“Oh my god! Jamie?”
[Before heading to America, Dani and Jamie run into an "acquaintance" of Jamie's in London, Part One of London Calling.]
Golden
“Why would you think that?”
“Ya didn’t answer the question.”
Already running various scenarios, it took her a moment to process Jamie’s response.
“I - Jamie, of course, you didn’t.”
“You sure?”
“Yes!”
Dani hadn’t meant to raise her voice and felt her heart clench as Jamie tensed.
[Already feeling off, Dani grows concerned when Jamie's own mood takes a strange turn.]

online numbers can really fuck you up when it comes to your creative work because you're sharing something you worked on with all your heart but it's very important to remember there's actual people behind those numbers. even if it's 1. that's one whole actual person. that's a human being who said "haha nice". that's a connection with a REAL person with a REAL life and REAL thoughts and feelings and experiences. like. damn. that should mean something

AITA for realizing that my best friend is actually a ghost and not telling him because i'm worried that if he realizes he's dead he'll finally be able to accept it and fully pass on and i won't be able to hang out with him anymore?
AITA if i've been dead for a while but haven't told my best friend yet because he doesn't seem to have realized i'm a ghost and if he does i'm worried that he'll finally be able to accept it and let me go and i can't bear the thought of losing him?
