Crows

After some long months and at least three appeals, my account was finally given back to me! OH THIS IS SO GOOD.

here’s the official fbi memo about it! you can view the whole document here

Receptionist: *talking to head nurse* Danny Fenton just called in. He says he's going to drop by in a few minutes.

Nurse: *freezes * Danny Fenton as in Danny Phantom?

Receptionist: Yeah. Why?

Nurse: Did he mention that his sister was forcing him to come?

Receptionist: No, but he did sound kinda winded and tired.

My immediate thought when you said my Constantine one was: “Which one?” I gotta assume your talking about the most recent one I did for crossover week and then immediately fell off the edge for lol.

PS: If you wanna see the other one, it’s on AO3 under EyesOfCrows. Name is Beach Day Demons :)

My whole schtick in this phandom has always been crossovers my guy. Slowed down recently but it’s always cooler go back and see people enjoying my work. If I had half the drive I had back when I was like 14 (I’d written 2 full Danny Phantom stories, albeit horribly) then I would share much more of what I have, but I am content with what I present now: oneshots and xover ideas.

And thanks for looking into my other DP x DC fics too! I think about the ones I did during Dannymay last year because those are my most popular. There’s more scattered on my page but I reblog so much that they’re lost even to me until some poor souls manages to reblog it, show it up in my notifications, and remind me I did such a thing. The only thing that’s somewhat put together is that Dannymay one.

To be honest, I think of your SCP x DP thing going on is 1000x more interesting because of how unique it is! I’ve seen my fair share of DP x DC and barely any thing relating to my favorite fictional document website. You’ve got some very interesting thoughts going on in there other than: “What if this DC hero/villain met the utter power baby that is Danny? I think it’d be funny.” (Admittedly, it is funny to me. I write so much for a reason lmao.)

To be honest I'm not the one to make the dp x scp crossover idea. I got inspiration from @poopypoop65 with their amazing art! It was so good it got be back into my scp fixation abzbsjsbdb

I also have a few DC x dp crossovers sitting in my drafts so there is absolutely no shame in the idea!! You've managed to do it very well and your Constantine fic was very unique from the others I've read. I read a lot ;-;

I've got so many more DP x Marvel sitting my drafts too 😅

Will I ever finish a project

Also beware of the fics that I wrote when I was like 12. *shudders* yikes.

And I know it’s because of the popular idea that the Lazarus Pit is just one giant pool of ectoplasm but what if it really is just the stench of death?

Cuz if that’s the care then, oh boy, will he be plugging his nose going into Wayne Manor.

Bruce? Almost always on the brink of death. Reapers even said he kept escaping them. In Batman Endgame (spoilers for those who haven’t read) he dies in the end but due to comic book logic he is completed healed, albeit at the cost of his memories.

Damian died during Batman Incorporated! Luckily revived by a Chaos Shard from Darkseid. (Of course, not without a road trip of his body continuously getting stolen and a small crossover with Frankenstein.)

Dick “died” twice but one just made his heart stop for a minute and the other got his memories taken. (I don’t what tell you but a bullet to the head from KGBeast should’ve done him in.) There is also an Injustice death and some Elseworlds (which are just non canon) but that doesn’t count.

Tim’s hasn’t died per say but he has had two faked deaths and two Elseworld deaths. Said fake deaths were just because he got kidnapped. Man for the third Robin, you’d think he’d be at the lower end of the kidnapped chart.

If anything, (and if my information is correct) Tim’s probably got the least deaths that involve physical injury or repercussions.

So that brings me to the AU where Danny is in Gotham Academy and inexplicably makes friends with Tim!

danny, who has binge watched hannibal with sam: i - id have to ask my parents. they're, um. strict! always notice the moment im gone hahaha

bruce, acting lighthearted but very concerned by the tells he's reading on this kid: we love having guests over bud, plenty of spare rooms. you could stay forever and it wouldn't be a bother! *gleaming white magazine smile* i insist, anything for one of tim's friends

danny, even MORE terrified, smiling politely as he breathes through the punk guy's acidic-burning-citrus aura of death: o-oh...well if you insist that's - that's so kind of you!!

Hmmm, vague enough that I don’t know the direction your heading but interesting that I would want to think of how this would go.

There’s definitely ghosts in GU. Low level but this ordinary student (let’s call her Apple for Amity Park Local) know they’re there. Just small imprints. Apple’s respectful, by all means, and avoids them. She also thinks Batman is their protector, just as Phantom was, and there are traditions to uphold.

Of course she doesn’t want to cast away Phantom, so she keeps a shrine to remember him. It’s only a metal box, constantly open, with an emblem engraved into the lid and a newspaper cutout of Phantom. There’s some trinkets too, with string lights and candles and dried flowers. Her roommates think of it as strange but as long as she doesn’t go supervillain in Gotham, they don’t mind what she does.

There isn’t a single rebellious bone in Apple’s body. There’s regulations to follow if she wants to stay alive. Never go at dark. Always carry on gas mask. Pay attention to when the temperature shifts. Never say wish. Always follow evacuations.

Again, her friends find it weird, even for Gotham. They’re used to having their lives thrown about. They sneak out to go the clubs and drag their feet at evacuations.

“The Riddler? Again? Do we really need to cancel Movie Night for this?”

(But they only had encounters once a week or so. Apple had to do this everyday for years. Apple had to survived things that she shouldn’t have survived in.)

When Jazz comes around, Apple’s friends notice the same patterns. The same bracelet. The same weird walking.

And when Apple sees Jazz she looks happier than ever. She actually looks close to crying. She throws herself for a hug and says the things she only ever whispered beneath her breath aloud.

“There’s ghosts here too, Jazz. And they’re so sad. Can you help them?”

Jazz pats her back consolidating. “Of course. I’ll clean up the entire school. I’m going to study here, after all.” And they almost thought that she was playing into Apple’s delusions if there wasn’t such a serious and honest face on Jazz.

Within a week the University feels lighter. Like something finally released their grip around the air itself. Apple no longer swerves around weird spots in the hallway or goes the long way to class to avoid specific buildings. They have no reason to think it was because of Apple’s talk but they can’t help but connect to it.

They follow her and Jazz’s actions more closely. Apple never lit the candle in the box, even during a blackout. They don’t know if Jazz has the same box too. But there’s the same alertness of preparation and rulekeeping. And they both leave things at the Batman shrine (the one put up as a joke but kept because it felt awful to tear down) and kept it maintained.

They don’t know why. They don’t ask why. You don’t ask why in Gotham. They’d all be insane if they did.

Someone is all “kid is there anywhere specific you want to be dropped off at?”

“Nah, my curfew’s at 10:30,” he says. He floats by a nearby window. “Hey! I think that’s Vega over there! It’s typically attached to the Lyra constellation but from that glow and our current orbit-“

“It’s been three hours, kid,” they plea, “You must have a life to get back to!”

Danny stops midair and snorts. “Can’t have a life if I’m already dead.”

“…what?”

“Not even in the self-deprecating way. I’m dead as a doorknob.” He turns to them and witnesses their shocked faces. “I thought y’all knew? The glowing, floating, echoey voice, and ghostly tail didn’t give it away?”

“We thought you were a meta,” one of them chokes out.

#danny phantom #srs this would be wonderful #i love JL confrontations #they are very entertaining #bonus if Danny rattles on about his traumas #as if talking about breakfast #crossover #dc x dp #xover

Not saying that ghosts with scars don’t exist, but that they will those marks on their body into existence. It’s a part of them so it leaves a sort of “physical representation.” Other than that, they don’t scar.

Not a mark is left because, after all, ectoplasm is energy.

How would Danny feel about that? Like every time he is injured it doesn’t leave a mark behind. There is no proof on his body that anything happened. Poof!

His skin is smooth and flawless, like he hadn’t spent last night bloodied and bruised. It is like nothing happened at all. Sometimes he imagines, after waking up and staring at his reflection, it was a dream. He couldn’t have fought tirelessly against beings beyond understanding, he’s perfectly fine.

Sure, he can will the scars onto him, remember the sinking claws of a specter wolf and create a mountain range of raised tissue or the discoloration of an ecto-weapon’s blast, but it isn’t real. Wounds happens so often that it might as well be a greeting. Eventually, they fade without focus.
