Iâve been imagining this story prompt for a week now and am finally writing it down
Danny and Tim are in the same class (college or high school idc) and Tim has a raging fever from some infection he got tumbling around Gotham rooftops and alleys. Itâs a filthy city, infections are gonna happen (does he have a spleen? dealers choice).
Danny, Tim, and another classmate are put on a team project for the duration of the class, and the other notices Tim is flushed and sweaty and calls him out for it like âHey dude I think youâre super sick you should go to the nurseâ and puts a hand against Timâs forehead to test for fever. Timâs too exhausted to protest. Heâs legit almost passing out but good at hiding it.
âNah I can never tell,â Danny says. âI run cold so checking temp isnât something Iâm good at.â
âWell maybe thatâll help him wake up a little,â and the other classmate grabs Dannyâs hand and puts it against Timâs cheek.
Tim sighs and presses his face into Dannyâs hand like a cat. Danny blushes. Other Classmate laughs and shoves Danny closer to Tim, who absolutely buries his face against Dannyâs neck and drags him into a vice-grip-hug.
Danny is sputtering and blushing tomato red.
The teacher finally notices and walks over. Whole class is watching, laughing, whispering. Other Classmate explains to teacher that Tim is super feverish and teacher tells Danny to take Tim to the nurse.
Danny tries to move away but Tim holds on tighter and Danny eventually just sighs and lifts Tim into a princess carry (making more classmates giggle or whistle) before walking out of the room to go find the nurseâs office on campus.
Story extras -
Tim is given some basic meds and the nurse calls his emergency contact to pick him up with orders to visit their family doctor. (Bruce or Dick or anyone else, whichever fits your timeline.)
Tim becomes lucid enough to ask Danny why heâs so cold (he hasnât let go yet) and Danny says, âWell not every meta can fly or throw laser beams. Some of us are just chilly. And it comes with the perk of not needing a winter jacket.â â in this story Danny isnât shy about being meta, itâs a good cover to deflect any ghostliness, and being naturally cold is an easy answer alongside being something thatâs obvious to anyone who touches him by accident. He plays it off nonchalantly. Maybe he goes on a rant about metahuman rights and how just because some people got a funky gene it doesnât always result in superheroes and villains, some people are just accountants who hiccup bubbles.
Tim is severely touch starved and enjoys holding Danny for that reason. No other. Nope. Thatâs all, just the touch starvation. Itâs really nice to have a prolonged hug and be held by a really cute cold boy.
Danny tries to pass Tim off to whoever comes to pick him up. Itâs embarrassing trying to pry Tim off him and Danny canât seem to make the blushing go away. âIâm so sorry. Wow this is so awkward. No this has never happened to me before and Iâve never talked to Tim before today weâre only in a couple classes together no we arenât secretly dating why would you think that?! No he didnât âfall asleep in my armsâ he literally passed out from fever please get him to the hospital asap he needs an iv for fluids and meds!!â
Danny eventually gets back to class, which is nearly over. Other Classmate joined a different group and the teacher gives Danny a printout of the assignment that he can complete with Tim within the week. Great⌠now Danny has to see the cute clingy boy again. He canât let Jazz know about today or sheâll read way too much into this.

So Iâm rewatching the Superman animated series and suddenly hear Danny Fentonâs voice. I look up to see... the Westonâs cousin.
Jimmy Olsen was also voiced by David Kaufman, and looks just like Kyle and Wes.
...just a little shorter.
But now that Jimmyâs pics of Superman are on the front page of the Daily Planet twice a week Kyle has proof aliens exist that he can keep tossing in Wesâ face.
Kneading bread dough is the most grounding thing for me. So I decided to make some rolls to relieve some stress and make something nice.
@stealingyourbones has made some delightful food abominations, which taught me I can replace the water in bread with almost any liquid.
So I tried Miso.
The yeast loved it and frothed up super fast. Mixing miso broth with the egg and oil smelled funky. The dough didnât rise any fluffier than usual but the texture feels good. Then I decided to roll in some black garlic and green onion. Iâd add nori crumbled up but I ran out.
So lemme see if Iâve got this right. This weekend weâve got:
Purim - holiday about a community avoiding slaughter, celebrated by dressing up in silly costumes to mock uppity politicians, and eating hamentaschen (triangle shaped jam filled cookies)
A total lunar eclipse - also called a blood moon due to the red color
Pi Day - eating pie to celebrate a never ending number
Ides of March - death of a dictator by those he thought he was safe from
SoooooooooâŚâŚâŚ
I should make a hamentaschen shaped pie and eat it while gazing at the blood moon dressed as Luigi Mangione
I want something big to happen this weekend so bad. I donât even know what I want that thing to be, I just see the dominos lining up. Somethingâs gotta give somethingâs gotta give.

Danny quickly discovers he canât move a certain distance away from his bones.
Heâs freaking out about never being able to leave Amity Park ever again and certainly never be an astronaut when Tucker shrugs and says âso always take one with you? Like, itâd be easy to have a small one in your pocket.â
And then Sam has a Goth Epiphany and smiles real big and creepy and just says,
âBone jewelry.â
If you wanna get creepy or graphic about it you can have the kids work out how to clean the rotting flesh off the bones.
Vlad would know this weakness and exploit it, whether to keep Danny close or to keep him away from certain places or projects.
If you wanna be silly you can have Danny wear different bones for different moods - like how it was popular for a while to wear a wishbone for good luck.
Danny could gift bones to loved ones.
Maybe Paulina steals a necklace or ring she thinks is pretty and learns something about Danny and/or Phantom.
DC crossovers very welcome - have a hero, villain, or side character figure out this is a weakness of Dannyâs. Like if Lex Luthor has Dannyâs bones and Jimmy Olsen is the one to rescue them. Or maybe to be silly Danny can ask Green Lantern to put him and his bones in an air bubble to carry them to the moon for a day trip.
I like to take cookies to work, especially when Iâm experimenting with new flavors (last week was strawberry rose cookies).
When one of my coworkers has a birthday I ask if they have a request.
This one kid has the strangest flavor ideas because he has no understanding of baking, just things he likes. I love that his requests make me have to sit down and think how would I do that?
This yearâs birthday request is:
Root Beer Cookies
So Iâm making a molasses cookie base and put root beer flavored drink mix powder in with the flour. Iâm also crushing up root beer barrel hard candies to see if they melt and re-harden like toffee (the hard Werthers are great for this) or maybe I can roll the cookie in the hard candy powder after I crunch them up - like a sugar coating.
So far the dough tastes⌠good? Unexpectedly good. I legit did not expect it to taste so much like root beer. My tongue is confused because this root beer is solid not liquid.
