#dark danny

Danny Phantom au where he becomes the Ghost King, and then he has to choose his Knight (his personal guard, the one to protect him with their own life, yada yada yada) (the Fright Knight was Pariah Dark's knight and now he's going on a long ass vacation with his horse to the Ghost-Bahamas) (Ghosthamas one might say) and obviously Danny doesn't WANT a knight. he can protect himself. he's perfectly capable. but the Observants are getting on his ass about it. and Dani (his first choice, since she's awesome and he could send her on "knightly duties" out in the mortal world so she can still explore and do whatever she wants) isn't in town. so instead. Danny chooses the ghost that he KNOWS will piss off the Observants. his alternate-timeline-evil-future-self.

danny phantom au where Clockwork gets so annoyed with the Observants and their bullshit that he takes the thermos Dan is trapped in and gives it to Danny. Danny has no clue what to do. Dan decides not fucking up the world is better than being stuck in a thermos for eternity and appoints himself as Danny's weird uncle. He gives terrible advice and embarrasses Danny every chance he gets. Danny hates him but in a familial way. Jazz also hates him but in a "you tried to kill me get out of my house" kind of way. Maddie and Jack are just. so fucking confused. neither of them have a brother named Dan. Who is this guy.

IMAGINE if The Ultimate Enemy happened BEFORE Bitter Reunions. like. Danny has to go forward in time to fight his older self, which is half-him and half-some random billionaire he's never met. Dan (dark danny whatever the hell you wanna call him) still went to Vlad after his family died, only because the Fentons listed him in their will (i imagine they made one way back in uni when their portal stuff started getting dangerous, so Vlad was still listed as the one person that gets everything because they never updated it) (I know Maddie has a sister but maybe they went through a rough patch or something) and their life was okay at first (awkward, of course, because he has to live with a strange man) but then Dan found out that Vlad was a halfa, and maybe that sent him over the edge of hatred when he then asked Vlad to rip out his humanity, and then blah blah blah. so THEN. Danny. Poor little Danny. He defeats Dan and goes back to his own time. And now he knows this random Vlad Masters guy is a halfa like him. and he doesn't know what to do with that information. his parents have never even MENTIONED a Vlad before. And then. The invite comes. 21st uni reunion or something. and Danny meets Vlad FULLY knowing that this guy is the ONLY other halfa in existence. And he doesn't know what to do with that information.
