In-Progress

(Still writing the story; not on hiatus)

📖 “Switch” by @reallydumbdannyphantomaus || [AO3 Link]

Rated: T | Summary: Kwan doesn't really want to deal with Fenton's new ghost-powers problem, but he wants his mom to find out that he'd dared another kid to do something dangerous and irresponsible even less. So he strikes a deal with the runt: don't tell his parents, and Kwan will keep Dash off his back for three months and help him figure out how to stop falling through the floors. For his part, Danny just wants to get back to normal and Kwan is the only one who even knows what the problem is, so he doesn't have much of a choice in who to turn to. Still, they're both just looking forward to when things can go back to normal. Then other ghosts start coming through the portal and everything gets real complicated, real quick. | Warnings: there is some occasional violence and referenced child abuse.

📖 “To Shatter Like a Jar of Glass” by Eucerei (@schwoopsiedoodles ) || [AO3 Link]

Rated: T | Summary: [Miraculous Ladybug Crossover] Danny Fenton is a sixteen year old kid running from an accident. He has found himself in Europe, with a weight on his back and a secret- sleeping in alleyways and metro stations when the security officers don’t force him out. But on a rainy day under the Eiffel Tower, he meets a young man who shows him the first kindness he’s seen in months, and a friendship is born. And when Danny witnesses the real danger that Paris today can bring, he feels the duty to help however he can, at any cost.

📖 “Learning to Live, Learning to Die” by @galaxyghostart || [AO3 Link]

Rated: T | Summary: Ghosts aren't real. That, at least, is what Danny Fenton tries to tell himself. You'd think it'd be an easy belief to keep, but it gets harder to hold onto once you start seeing the dead wherever you go.

📖 “Phantom Pain Series” by Andtheny || [FFN Link] [AO3 Link]

Rated: T | Summary: Phantom pain is pain that feels like it's coming from a body part that's no longer there. Doctors once believed this post-amputation phenomenon was a psychological problem, but experts now recognize that these real sensations originate in the spinal cord and brain ... but a ghost doesn't HAVE a spinal cord, let alone a brain ... right?

Blood ran down the front of his white t-shirt as he clutched at his front with both arms. A morbid shadow of a hug. The teen raised his head, raven black locks fell back to reveal his eyes. His eyes were blue. They reflected the light like a cat's eye. He wasn't human. Bobby raised his shotgun and took a steady aim. The creature with the face of a kid flinched backwards.
