DeadSerius Au Idea (dpxdc)
Am I over this perticular crossover? No. Never. Danny Phantom was my Batman before Batman. The fact that this crossover became so popular in the last few years is awesome.
Ahem. Anyways, here is the pitch:
~~~
Damian and Danny grow up in the League of Assassins together but not as siblings, but rather as fiancés.
Ra's al Ghul raises Danielle (Danny will always be trans to me. I will die on this HC) for whatever reason in the compound with Damian and has her trained to be Damian's future wife. She is trained as a fighter as well has how to be a proper 'lady'.
She and Damian are best friends, only really registering their future marriage as something that means they get to be best friends forever. But Ra's of course sees how close they are and decides that Danielle will simply be a distraction for Damian and needs to go. So he stages an assassination attempt on Damian, knowing Danielle has been trained to give her life for her future husband if need be, and sure enough Danielle takes the hit meant for Damian and dies.
Now Thalia has been the one primarily in charge of Danielle's training, as she is Damian's mother and wants only the best wife for her son. Because of this she has grown very fond of Danielle. Even thinking of her as a sort of daughter, when she allowes herself to feel sentimental.
So Danielle's death hits her pretty hard. Herd enough that she attempts to save Danielle by throwing her in the Lazerus Pit.
It works, and Danielle is brought back. But she can't stay at the compound with Ra's wanting her dead. So Thalia aranges for Danielle to be taken away and put somewhere safe. Somewhere even Thalia does not know about.
She doesn't tell Damian that Danielle is alive. She can't. Her son is skilled in many areas, but lying is not one of them. So he goes on greiving the death of his best friend.
And only a few months later is dropped off at his father's house with know idea how to cope with that grief. So he lashes out, hurts people, and tries to keep his walls of anger up so that he doesn't have to think of the pain.
And even as the years go by with his family and he learns how to love them and except their love in return, he never mentions Danielle. He can't bring himself to think of how much happier they could have been together if they had bean raised by Bruce instead of at the compound.
Meanwhile Danielle ends up in foster care in Illinois and is adopted by the Fentons. Its awkward at first. Danielle is too stiff and formal, and has some weird ideas about gender rolls... But overtime she too finds her place with the Fentons and comes to love them as much as she loved Damian and Thalia.
And with that love, exceptance and deprograming, she figures out that she is not Danielle and is in fact: Daniel. Or Danny, as Dami always called him growing up.
Danny tries his best to be the most boring teenager to every exsist. He doesn't keep up his training, he plays videogames with his friends, he wears baggy clothes and eats junkfood. He tries to be the exact opposite of what he was always taught in the League and is determined to be the least ladylike human in exsistance.
But he misses Damian. That is the only part of his old life he wishes he could have back. And he tries not to think of how much happier he and Damian could have been if they had been allowed to be normal kids from the start. And he tries not to think of how much happier he probably was compaired to Damian, who will likely never escape the League.
But of course it all goes wrong. The accident happens, the ghosts happen, and Pariah Dark happens. And so does becoming the Ghost King.
Anyways, years go by. Damian and Danny live their lives until their late teens, when Ra's decided that he needs to use his grandson as a pawn again.
Ra's kidnapps Damain and tries to marry him off to the Ghost King in exchange for the serets to eternal life. The Ghost King however has a final that is due and so he sends his Regent, Clockwork, to his summoning instead.
Clockwork informs Ra's that a marrige between the Ghost King and his Grandson is not possible, as Damian is already engaged. In order for Damian to be married to another, his current fiancé must either die or agree to annul the engagment.
Ra's of course is shocked, as is Damian and the rest of the Batfamily (who showed up to save him) for various reasons. Ra's obviously chooses to just have Danny found and killed, so the Batfamily scramble to find Danny first so they can provent that.
They finally find Danny, He and Damian have a huge emotional reunion, and they manage to convince Danny to come back with them to Gothem for his protection while they figure out how to stop Ra's.
Danny and Damian rekindle their friendship as if they hed never been apart. And Damain apologizes to Danny for not being able to offer him the kingdom and power that was promised to him from their marrige when they were children.
Danny just laughs it off and says being together at all is good enough for him.
Ra's of course manages to kidnap Danny and Damian and to make things super angsty and dramatic, plans to use Danny as a human sacrifice to the Ghost King on top of giving him Damian's hand in marriage.
The Batfam again showes up right before the dramatic summoning, and see the eerie green glow of the summoning cirle and they begin to panic. But nothing happens. No ghost appears, king or otherise.
And Danny begins to laugh.
He smiles at Ra's. "Damn. Trying to engage me to your grandson twice? Why are you so obsessed with me?"
The dramatic Danny = Ghost KIng reveal happens. Danny makes Ra's look like an idiot, other dramatic shit happens, and Danny is a badass.
Danny the turns to Damian. "Maybe you can't give me a kingdom to rule over, but I could give you one. Wanna be MY queen?"
Damian obviously says yes and they live happily ever after.
And Clockwork smirks into his little cristal ball like in every dpxdc fic. "All things in their own time"
The End~

Can you tell I just wanted to post to be done with by the end? Lol. This is why I'm not a writer.
Also I cut it out cause I was too lazy to go into it, but I was thinking for this AU Danny is the youngest child of Slade Wilson. You know. For ~Drama~.
