Contractual Obligations (28010 words) by hailsatanacab
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.
This is so good, I stayed in bed an extra hour to read it.
