Fic rec! 28K Dp x Dc fic with Ghost King Danny.

Summary: Alfred is confronted by a stranger in his rooms with a copy of every single soul-binding contract he’s signed for the protection of his family. The new Ghost King wants to update his terms and conditions.

Comments: This is an Alfred centric-fic, which is a delight. Phantom's new terms of the deal give him a contingency plan if things go bad in Amity, and when they do and he shows up at the Manor, Alfred has to explain quite a few things. But so does Danny - because showing up as injured as he does means it'll be really hard for the Ghost King to hold up his side of the bargain right as the Bats need it.

There's DP normal levels of whump in here (graphic results of a vivisection), but also all the feels of famfiction because of course Alfred is going to give up his soul for his family. Of course he's going to take Danny under his wing.

From the Mobster AU:

Adam is very much a hit first, ask questions later guy. Or, well, a hit-first-and-then-ask-a-lot-of-questions-very-quickly-while-you keep-hitting-them guy.

;)

oh ok so this is the one ive been trying to write all week! (before that dang court twin au got to me <- affectionate)

basically it's me trying to reconcile what dannys childhood would have been like if he was raised in the league and how he would grow into the danny we know.

it's going to have parts of it showcase where he fit into the al ghuls, leading into him actually leaving the league (not his own choice).

it would then focus on him finding a place in civilian life and trying to cope with how he was raised and the mindset the league instilled in him (which is going to take a long while,,, danny doesn't really see the issue with his childhood rn)

i have so many moments planned for this! jazz is going to have so many times to shine lol. i can't wait for it to get out of planning stages!! it's my favorite right now haha

actually u know what im gonna share a bit of what i wrote:

talia says nothing the next morning when she finds her only (remaining) son with his back flush against the wall where danyal’s bed had once been. she says nothing of the tear tracks she sees. while small, it is the only comfort she can provide him.

That WIP is a DP x BNHA crossover that I've written (and mostly edited) 15K words for. It's the first DP fic I really dove into when my hyperfixation started, but then the DP x DC hole claimed me so I haven't touched it in awhile.

It involves portal isekai, dadzawa, and some GIW-related trauma

I might get back to it eventually (or at least chuck up what I have at some point), but...

1.) Do you daydream a lot before you write, or go for it as soon as the ideas strike? Whenever I write anything I have absolutely no clue what I'm going to write. I simply open a word doc or a voice memo app and just start with a character and write nonsense until something clicks. 8.) Post an out-of-context spoiler from a wip.

Oh man, which one to choose from... A lot of my WIPs are very elaborate prompts that are just very condensed plot points... Ooo I know, maybe a fic idea that has been stuck in WIP hell for the past month:

They continue on with their night. They exchange numbers and they meet up again and again. They hang out at Dash’s apartment to watch a Metropolis v Gotham game and jeer against the Metropolis team and fall asleep resting on each other. They go to Danny's favorite restaurant and Danny talks about what he’s working on in-depth as Dash is just enraptured by the joy and pride of this man who has grown so much since he first met him. They bond over Amity being strange and that Gotham isn’t quite Amity but it’s damn close.

29.) What’s something about your writing that you’re proud of?

omg am i actually gonna have to use my brain and think??? well i'll try!

3. what's your favorite line of dialogue you've ever written?

maaaannn this is hard. i really like my use of first person for the robot's sections in synthetic love because the development of his internal dialogue shows his sentience developing, but as for a single line?? i quite like this that i used in the summary of this is inevitable (i love us) - “I feel like I didn’t start living my life until I met you. Like I took a long hiatus somewhere in the middle.” the idea of taking a hiatus on life.

5. do you have a specific character you don't like writing at all?

not so far, i don't think!! i think there are some that would be difficult to write which would put me off from writing some fandoms, but i've not written anyone and not liked it i don't think!

7. do you plan ahead when you write or go with the flow?

11 - Dinner dates or brunch dates?

Actually agonised over this a bit; I think I prefer dinner dates as I think they're inherently more romantic, but brunch dates are a lot of fun in their chillness

24 - What makes you blush?

People remembering the little details and quirks about me, unexpected compliments, accidental hand touches

46 - Favourite liquor?
