Here’s a relatively simple prompt, Danny meets Adrien and Marinette while he’s visiting Paris, and they see him easily resist akumatization. Naturally, shenanigans ends. What do you think?
Now that would be funny!! The angsty route is always well and good and all but the idea that Danny just doesn't have time or can't be bothered with Hawkmoth's (or Shadowmoth's. Or Monarch's [Dang, for a fashion designer you are not the most creative guy out there are you, Gabriel?]) akumatization attempts on him so he just swats the butterflies away. Oh~ Now there's an idea:
---
Marinette had seen many tourists come and go. Her family patisserie had slowly grown in fame over the years, and having Jagged Stone himself come over on live television had certainly helped with profits. (Although she could have gone without the man in her room and showing off all her Adrien pictures.) She was well aware that the shop was now on some travel agency websites and a number of foodie digest lists, so an influx of tourists were to be expected.
She had, however, been pleasantly surprised to meet a visiting American family. Marinette swore her father could have been related to the other man, if only for the sheer size and body structure. The auburn hair had suited the mother more, a Mrs. Dr. Fenton, and it had given them all a good laugh to see how well the two married couples mirrored each other.
Unlike Marinette's family, there were two children, a older girl that always treated Marinette kindly- often trying to speak in butchered French but hey, she could appreciate the effort. The younger boy, who was around Marinette's age actually, easily could have been Marinette's brother. There were some notable differences, obviously, but if you didn't look hard enough they could have been twins. The boy, Danny, had taken great amusement to this.
And so had Adrien.
That part had Marinette a little anxious. She hadn't been expecting Adrien to come over today, now of all times! She had been so sure he was busy with another photo shoot, but as it turned out Lila had made a big fuss and Adrien was free to roam, using it as an excuse to flee the scene. Marinette had worried he would get in trouble for it, but then he'd smiled at her in that way he always did and oh alright, Marinette was a goner.
Adrien and Danny got along well. Almost too well, in Marinette's opinion. She didn't mind that Adrien had other friends; honestly, he deserved all the friends and love in the world! But the moment those two started punning at each other, mixing in physics facts just because they could, Marinette began to regret some life choices.
But even despite her exasperation, she'd enjoyed herself! After some debate she had taken the two boys up into her room with some treats to snack on while they hung out. It wasn't often that Marinette brought relative strangers to her room, her private space and her haven, but her parents had been sharing awfully personal information with the Fenton parents as well, so she figured it would be alright.
Danny was nice and clever, a tricky teen with a silver tongue, and a heart of gold. Marinette would have invited Jazz- Danny's sister- to join them had she not caught the eye of an older boy Marinette had seen around sometimes. She seemed busy with that, so Marinette let her be.
Everything had been going well, beautifully even, until there was a sudden shout of "Ghost!" from downstairs and Danny flinched. Marinette had startled at the sight of it. She'd been more frightened by Danny's reaction than the sudden shout, actually. That would have been fine, a passing thought even, had it not been for the butterfly flapping through the window at the exact moment.
She and Adrien were instantly to their feet, jumping back and away from the innocent-but-cruel butterfly. Danny didn't seem to notice it at all, and just when she and Adrien went to say something- Danny turned his head, stared the akuma head-on, and waved it away. She watched, dumbfounded, as Danny veered his head from side to side, looking annoyed of all things as the akuma persisted after him.
"I am busy right now, begone!" Danny remarked, half-joking by the sound of it. She gaped at him in confusion for a while, her hunches lowering when she realized the akuma wasn't doing anything? It was clearly attracted to Danny's negative emotions, so why couldn't it possess an object? "How do I get rid of this thing?"
"Usually you need to release your negative emotions," Adrien commented with a frown, looking just as lost despite his reply. "But I've only seen that happen after the akuma has settled."
"Wow, so all those pamphlets hadn't been kidding, huh?" Danny remarked ruefully. He gave the butterfly a rude side-eye. "Well, if that's what it takes-" Danny reached out a hand, letting the akuma catch onto his watch and possess it.
"NO!" She and Adrien shouted at once, horrified.
But Danny continued to surprise them both by commenting, "Woah, you talk too much. And that's saying something from blabbermouth extraordinaire over here." The butterfly mask over Danny's eyes flashed a little brighter, much to their surprise. "Excuse moi ? That's awfully rude and I- Okay, but what if I don't care about Ladybug and Chat Noir? This sounds a lot like free child labor and I'm on vacation here. So what do I care about special powers, they're temporary? Oh, big deal! You can threaten me once you've showed your ugly ass to my face. Yeah, that's what I thought."
The akuma lifted from Danny's watch and innocently fluttered away. Marinette would have to catch that before someone else got akumatized. And yet she could do nothing more than stare at Danny in complete shock and confusion.
Danny stared back at them, before snatching some pain du chocolat from the plate. "So you were saying?"

"I mean," Danny stepped past a glimmer of light in the air, nearly falling off the sidewalk. "There's just a weird amount of ambient energy in the air. It's messing with my ghost sensing. That or the fact that the ghost's been messed with by your bad guy's powers."
"You have a ghost sense? I wish I had an akuma sense, sure would make this easier."
"You do have an akuma sense." Adrien countered. "It's when someone fucks up the Eiffel Tower."
Marinette sighed. "That is true, but I'd rather have something more personal than city wide property damage when someone who has a bad day decides to take it out on a national landmark. As for your senses- it's because of the catacombs right? Too much-" She waved a hand at everything. "Dead."
"There's catacombs? Where?" And how had he not realized that yet? There should be ecto energy coating anything and everything if that were the case, but Europe was old, so maybe it was sunk into the ground already and only fragments?
"Everywhere- below the city." Adrien ducked between them, voice lilted in curiosity. "Did you not know that?"
Danny knew about the catacombs. To an extent. Because he, Sam, and Tuck had watched As Above, So Below one night during a sleepover and had been scared shitless afterwards. But like, he didn't think that they were real.
A God-Like being attacks Gotham City first. People are panicking not knowing what to do. All but one restaurant, filled with people, are not running away. Paris, Metropolis, Amity Park, and Fawcett City are all visiting Gotham at that time.
Paris is there because of the friendship agreement. Metropolis thought “why not visit our sister city”. Amity Park wanted to see Gothams agriculture. Fawcett City is there because why not.
They all, unconsciously, collectively agreed that this one restaurant would be a great place to have lunch.
So said ‘God-Like’ being attacked, it was like a normal Tuesday afternoon for the four places. When a normal tourist, who wasn’t able to run away and excepted dead, asked the burning question that the other people were thinking of why they didn’t get away.
Their answer was quite simple and very cryptic.
Amity Parker’s: “So don’t be freaked”
Metropolis: “Stay in your seats”
Paris: “We do this bullsh*t like 8 times a week”
Fawcett City: “So just relax you’ll be fine, drink your 50 dollar wine and take a breath 🙄”
Don’t get the Spirit of Gotham wrong, they love their city and people but even they need to take a break every now and again. So when the Spirit of Amity Park offered to watch over Gotham City for a few days so that they could rest they were weary.
But when the Spirit of Amity showed their capability to watch over Gotham without them. The Spirit of Gotham left for their vacation.
Soon it almost became traditional for the Spirit of Gotham to have the Spirit of Amity Park watch over their people when the bat drama is gone or an arc is done or when ALL of Batman’s rouges are all back.
It also became traditional for the Spirit of Gotham to visit Amity Park at the beginning and end of their break. Unless something happened in Gotham that only Gotham can fix then the Spirit of Paris is the one that informs the Spirit of Gotham.
This break, however, is a short visit to one Jazz Fenton.
Jazz is building her own motorcycle when Gotham had her sing along with them to her music.
Gotham Spirit: “Jazz Jazz Jazzzz!!!”
Jazz, still building her own motorcycle, knows that something must be wronging Gotham for this kind of visit: *smiles at them and goes back to working*
Gotham Spirit: “🎶🎶 Shut your mouth, baby, stand and deliver 🎶🎶”
Jazz has a feeling that she is right but doesn’t show it and smiles while working on her bike: “🎶🎶 Holy hands, will they make me a sinner? 🎶🎶”
Jazz & the Spirit of Gotham beginning to vibe: “🎶🎶 Like a river, like a river 🎶🎶”
Jazz & the Spirit of Gotham vibing: “🎶🎶 Shut your mouth and-🎶🎶”
Gotham Spirit: “🎶🎶 RUN ME LIKE A RIVER!!!🎶🎶” *disappears back to Gotham*
Jazz thought smiling: “I hope they found what they were looking for.”
I really like your mlb x dp mentor au, And I was wondering how Marinette and Adrian would react if Danny brought any past ghost miraculous users to help teach them.
(Continuation of this prompt. Use the tag "dp x mlb" on that post for more of this AU)
That's a very good point! I believe Miraculous Ladybug even had a moment where Joan of Arc (which was a previous user of the Ladybug Miraculous in this universe) briefly appeared, so theoretically this would make even more sense.
I'd have to think some more about who other possible Ladybug and Black Cat holders could be, but it would be super interesting to explore past holders who not only could help them grow as heroes but as people underneath the mask.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves here. I can imagine it going a little something like this:
---
"You can do that?" Chat Noir gasped as he leaned forward, looking like his eyes might pop out of his skull. "You can just call any ghost to you any time you want?"
"Well not really? I'd have to ask if they're even willing to teach you guys, but otherwise just ringing them up works for me," Danny explained with a casual shrug.
"Can all ghosts do that?" Ladybug asked with an inquisitive tilt of her head.
"Not all of us, no," Danny shook his head. "I'm a more... special case, I guess? I have a very complicated relationship with death, so it comes with some... perks, if you will."
"What do you mean by compli-" Chat Noir began to ask, but he's thankfully interrupted by Ladybug, who asked, "Do all Miraculous Holders come back as ghosts when they die?"
Wow. Talk about being stuck between a rock and a hard place. Answer Chat Noir's question and Danny could reveal a potentially devastating secret. Answer Ladybug's question and he would give these kids nightmares for days. Lovely...
Her question, however, was a little unexpected. Danny wondered what fears might rest on her mind to ask something so- loaded.
"That's complicated too," Danny admitted with a sigh, rubbing the back of his head. "For the most part it depends on how they died, but otherwise..." How could Danny say this in a way that would scar them the least? "Sometimes only the memory of a person will remain."
The two stared at him with obvious confusion. Maybe Danny shouldn't have been so cryptic. You'd think he'd have learned that from all of Clockwork's visits.
"I mean, you're public figures," Danny began, "your face is plastered everywhere! Even if you died peacefully, without any regrets or unfinished business, your name could live on far longer than you do. And that creates spirits of their own."
"It won't be you," Danny tacked on. "It will never be you. Just what people perceived you as. And sometimes that's worse than whatever afterlife death could have given you."
Ladybug looked frightened, pensive with this news. Danny could already imagine her mind firing at a million miles per hour, trying to find a way to work around this. She had always been the type to over-plan these things where and when she could.
Danny risked a glance at Chat Noir. If Ladybug had looked scared, then Chat Noir looked downright terrified. He looked paler than a sheet ghost, eyes vacant as he stared down at the streets below.

“He hugged me! He never does that, I literally have to schedule dinner with him weeks in advance.”
“Oh shit yeah, he’s definitely possessed.” Danny agreed as he stuck a hand into his thigh, pulling out the spare thermos he’d stored there. The cap was a bit dented but otherwise fine, meaning he could probably still use it. “Happens to the worst of them unfortunately. But at least ya got a haunt and ecto-expert here.”
Adrien’s face fell, shoulders slumping. “Is it too much to hope it was a belated change of heart?”
“Absolutely.”
“Bummer.” The teenage model said. “I was going to ask if I could maybe eat lunch with him tomorrow instead of in a month and a half.”
Wow. Danny was tempted to ask Adrien if he could switch Mr Agreste out for Vlad. Vlad would love actually having a kid who wanted his attention and mediocre parenting skills. He voiced none of this however, having enough tact to not stuff his foot in his mouth yet.
“Hella bummer. On the plus side, wanna trap your daddy dearest in a thermos with me?”
“Uh huh, whatever, I’ll follow the rules. No wandering off, rub elbows with rich boring adults, ignore my undead nemesis possessing a world famous French fashion designer so that said nemesis can skew some business deal in his favor—”
“I might not have to possess him.”
“Vlad, and I say this in the kindest way possible; when have you not possessed one of your business partners?” Danny loosened his tie, glaring back when the older man shot him a disappointed look.
“Daniel.”
“Vlad.”
“Just, do try to make a friend, the majority of potential partners here brought their own heirs along. There’ll be plenty of opportunities for you to start fostering your own contracts and connections.”
“I’m not going to possess anyone.” Danny chirped. “Unlike you.”
“For the last tim—”
“Oh look, we’re here. I’m getting out of the car.”
Can you please send me the links to yours Danny Phantom x Miraculous crossover? The one from the Anon asking about Chat Noir and Ladybug finding out Danny is dead
I can't find it
Yeah, sometimes that tagging system just does not work very well huh?
Here is a list, it should be in chronological order but sometimes Tumblr hates me too, so here we go:
