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.

If there is one thing that Damian is afraid of, it's his mother and grandfather going after Danny.

Danny is one of the few normal people Damian has ever met that he actually likes to spend time with. And one of the only ones that can stand to spend time with him.

They've only been dating for a few months but already Damian knows that he loves Danny. He just hasn't gotten up the courage to explain the whole... Former assassin thing. Or the son of Batman thing. Or being Robin. Or that he maybe doesn't want to be Robin anymore...

He has talked to him about med school though. Damian thinks he deserves some points for that.

Needless to say, Damian knows that he's hiding a huge part of his life from Danny. And the longer he goes without telling him, the more likely it is to blow up in his face.

So one night Damian asks Danny to come over to the Manor and have dinner with him. He asked Alfred to help him make dinner for Danny as a way of hopefully smoothing over what he was about to tell him.

But Danny never shows. And he doesn't answer his phone when Damian tries to call him.

Immediately Damian is panicking. Even when they fight they never go no contact. Gotham is a dangerous city, they promised each other that they would always respond to a text or call no matter how angry they were with each other.

Instantly Damian suspects the al Ghuls.

And he's correct. Talia wasn't sure exactly what to make of Damian's paramour. He's quite handsome, with ice blue eyes and unruly black hair. His fashion choices could use a bit of work, but she can see why her son might be drawn to the young man.

But what perplexes her is that she has very theatrically kidnapped him... And he seems completely unbothered by this fact.

They are sitting together at a small table with tea and biscuits surrounded by league assassins and the boy is happily munching away on the biscuits without a care in the world. His innocent eyes taking in the people around them and giving them a kind smile.

"So, you're Damian's mom, right?" The boy asks.

"I am his mother, yes..."

"Yeah, I can tell. He looks just like you. Pretty and dangerous." The boy smiles at her.

Talia can admit that she's a bit flattered. Usually people go on and on about how her son resembles his father. It's nice to know that at least someone sees her in his features.

"You are Daniel Fenton." Not a question.

"Yup! Although I prefer Danny if you don't mind. Only people who want to kill me call me Daniel."

Talia smiled darkly, "and what makes you think I don't want to kill you."

The boy, Danny, just blinks at her and cocks his head in consideration. "Just a feeling," he says.

Before Talia can say more her son bursts into the room adorned in his Robin gear.

"Mother!" He cries frantically. "Release Danny at once!"

Before Talia can respond Danny laughs. "Oh, come on, Angel. Your mom is just looking out for you. We're all friends here."

Danny then takes a sip of the tea. Oh dear, Talia perhaps should have thought twice about brewing poison tea. It's one thing to poison her son's paramour when they are alone. Doing it with Damian in the room will likely result in her son not talking to her for a very long time.

But nothing happens. Well, nothing except for the wide smile that Danny makes when he looks over at Talia and exclaims " Oh my Ancients, I LOVE Belladonna tea! How did you know?"

So, Scarecrow attacks Gotham Academy for some reason. All the kids are scared and Damian is angry and frustrated that he can't do anything to help without risking his identity.

As the chaos is unfolding, in stumbles a half asleep Danny (new kid at school) with a coffee in his hand and no spacial awareness. He just strolls right into the middle of what's happening without even opening his eyes. Just trying to make it to class before the bell rings.

Scarecrow, obviously annoyed, grabs Danny and tries to get him to stop.

Danny grabs the guy's arm so hard you can hear his bones creak and judo slams him into the ground, eyes still closed and coffee still in hand. He tilts his head back in a giant and excessively loud yawn and looks down to squint at Scarecrow.

"Dude, Halloween isn't for another six months. What's with the costume?"

Everyone looks on him horrified fascination as Danny decides not to wait for an answer to his question, and instead lumbers off. Still half asleep and trying to get to a class that is most definitely canceled.

An AU DPxDC concept where a cult summons attempts to summon the Ghost King; Pariah Dark. Only to be met with Danny in his human form.

Now, revealing that the new Ghost King is a halfa to a bunch of weirdos in robes is a bad idea. So when they inevitably ask who the hell he is, he comes up with a lie.

"Oh, I'm his intern. I think? Maybe secretary is a better word? You know what, it doesn't matter." His lie is unsure at first, but then he puts on his best customer service voice and tries again.

"Hello, I'm Danny and I'll be the one taking your call. Now before we start, can you give me your name and reason for summoning?"

Dick threw himself on the couch next to Danyal. Damian was out of the house with Bruce for the next 2-4 hours after Danyal implied Damian would love to go with the zoo with his "dad".

The family of Bats couldn't help but notice their newest pair of members acted different when apart from each other.

He nudged Danyal, ignoring the feeling of a concealed weapon in his baggy pants.

Danyal looked over, raising his eyebrows, "Huh?"

"I've been curious, Danny why are you so..."

"Normal--- While Damian is a brat?" Danyal flipped through a couple channels as he spoke, still unable to make a choice on a show.

"I wouldn't put it like that, but yeah."

"er... so as the second heir, Mother decided to focus my education on, like, blending in to any environment for infiltration purposes. She even sent me to live with a few foster families so I would get an idea of how American families think an act." He stopped channel surfing so he could list them off on his fingers, "It was two weeks with the Burns, like, a day with the Mortons, and six months with the Fentons."

"Six months?" Dick questioned, alarmed. That was a long time for an infiltration mission for someone his age. How was he not attached?

Tim, who had taken up residency out of stabbing range for this conversation, set up with his lap top and a case file spoke up, "So, you're just masking all the time?"

"Affirmative." Danyal answered in the exact same way Damian did.

"Then why is Damian so..." Tim followed up, referencing his and Damian's contemptuous relationship.

Cujo the Ghost Service Dog!

This is a part of my wheelchair/cane user Danny AU, and while I first had plans to draw Vlad and Dani in this AU- I just had to try my hand at drawing Cujo.

Cujo is a mobility assistant dog, he provides Danny with an additional level of balance support when Danny walks. He also has other tasks like item retrieval and "opening" doors.

He's also a trained diabetic alert dog! May as well put those heightened ghost dog senses to work.

More design explanation and little "rambles" under the cut, as always!
