AU where Ray is a cop instead of a superhero

+ Henry who's constantly getting into trouble

Thinking back to when Drex called Ray Henry's boyfriend. Like yeah, he probably only did it because he knew it would annoy Henry, but I wonder if there is genuine Captain Man and Kid Danger shippers in-universe. They have a whole ass fanclub; you're telling me there isn't one insane person in there drawing them making out?? I love secret relationships but I think I love people suspecting a secret relationship between 2 characters even more.

Back to the fan club, I'm imaging a small circle forming between some of the members who ship CM and KD, which inevitably makes it's way back to Ray and Henry. And they're super confused because they're used to people liking them together and never thought that there would be some who would like them together. And it probably gets stuck in their heads, because 'wow, imagine thinking us, just a pair of guys, are in love. Ha!' They get to talking about it with Charlotte, Jasper, and Schowz one night and the other three are like, 'Are you in anyway surprised people got to this conclusion.' None of them actually think Henry and Ray are together (or would ever be) but they've seen enough of their interactions to know that from an outsiders perspective the two kind of sort of look like they have something going on. Which starts a whole debacle from Henry and Ray that no, they don't act like that (as they act like that), and it's just a weird misconception between a bunch of tween girls that they'll shut down next time their out.

Except it's Henry and Ray so obviously their attempts to discredit any romantic relations ends up making the situation worse. There so focused on being 'normal' they keep making slips up that just ignite the flames. Like during an interview after a fight Henry attempts to say "I couldn't have done it without my friend" except he can't actually decide if friend is the best word, maybe buddy? Or pal? Are those too affectionate? In the end, Henry stumbles over the sentence, unable to finish it which to everyone watching it looked like he was going to say boyfriend and caught himself. Or they have to go patrolling through a park to look for a lost dog. They can't tell anybody this, because the dog's owners husband accidentally let the pup out and if the wife finds out she'll kill him. So they got be discreet. But again, this is Henry and Ray so of course they're spotted and approached by some fans who want to know what they're doing out and about. And since they can't mention the lost dog they have to make up an excuse but neither of them can agree on one, so the fans start spreading the rumor that they were actually on a date and just didn't want to admit it.

And then it just snowballs from there. Swellview is a crazy town, the news channel probably debates the logistics of CM and KD dating. Any photo of them is immediately recontextualized to be romantic. People start trying to set up little events to show that they support the two 'dating'. Villains try to use them 'dating' to torment them further, like creating more romantic themed traps for them to deal with, apologizing for ruining their 'date' nights 𐔌՞ ܸ.ˬ.ܸ ՞𐦯 They both probably lose mad ladies because all the women in swellview don't want to come between them 😭 Piper is a massive shipper of them, only because I like to torment Henry since now he has to deal with it at home. (This is before she knows he's kid danger)

But my favorite thing behind the whole mess is just these two getting into their heads about the whole ordeal. It's one thing if one person thinks they're together, but when it's a whole city?? Even their friends said it was no shock people got to that conclusion. What does that say about them? All their interactions, their hangouts, their friendship? It makes them have to confront everything they've done, and look at it through a different lens. Was their a genuine spark of romance during relationship? Was there a semblance of truth to any of the rumors? Forcing themselves to have to acknowledge any repressed feelings 🙂‍↕️ Eventually getting to a point where both realize "hey I might genuinely be feeling something for the other", but since they have the emotional capacity of a goldfish neither are saying a damn word, which starts to fester into fear that they're messing with the other's head and fucking up the relationship.

Charlotte, Jasper, and Schowz are still here btw, and exasperated. They try to help quell the rumors in the beginning, before having to shift gears into damage control when Henry and Ray start acting all weird. None of them are remotely paid enough to act as therapists to thing 1 and thing 2. They eventually get Henry and Ray to admit why they're acting so odd (separately, of course) and Charlotte plus Jasper can only revaluate their job working in the man Cave. Since the whole thing is starting to affect how the two fight crime they obviously have to step in and fix it.

first of all, i'm an adult and very much capable of separating fiction from reality, but if you're uncomfortable with anything you may see here you are free to block me 🩷

i don't condone this kind of relationship irl, with real people (unless they're both consenting adults) and don't like any type of incest (you do you tho) but i do enjoy ridiculously big age gap ships in fiction!

all younger characters are aged up, or use their oldest in-canon age, even when immortal (i'm not a fan of the "immortal but stuck in a 15 year old body" trope)

most ships have considerable age gaps and a slightly emotionally immature partner (whether that's the younger or older person in the relationship)

many have a bit of a "previously seen as father/brother figure turned to potential romantic interest" and few go into explicit nsfw territory, i do like it though, just not all the time

onto the ships !! ⊹*.★

• eggsy unwin/harry hart: hartwin (kingsman) both adults, big age gap (22 yo/40 yo)

• danny fenton/vlad masters: pompous pep (danny phantom) very big age gap, years post show or aged up danny, immortals (anything between 21-25 yo/40 yo)

• henry hart/ray manchester: henray (henry danger/force) big age gap, post henry leaving for dystopia or aged up henry au (anything between 21-25 yo/38-40 yo)

• anakin skywalker/obi-wan kenobi: obikin (star wars) age gap, older anakin (23 yo/38 yo)

• clark kent/lex luthor: clex (smallville verse) age gap, sometimes older clark, don't rly mind this one as clark does not look 15 at all lmao (around 18 yo/21 yo)

• bill cipher/dipper pines: billdip (gravity falls) age gap, post canon or aged up dipper au (anything between early 20s/late 30s)

• roy mustang/edward elric: royed (fullmetal alchemist: brotherhood) big age gap, post canon or aged up ed au (18 yo/30yo)

• usami akihiko/takahashi misaki: usamisa (junjou romantica) big age gap, canon ages (18 yo/28 yo)

• akira nikaido/shirogane: shiroaki (monochrome factor) age gap (kind of, as shirogane is immortal) post canon/anime or aged up akira au (around 18-21 yo/25 yo)

• zuko/aang: zukaang (atla) not really an age gap ship but people do get weird about them, canon ages though i prefer post canon aus (13 yo/16 yo)

Pretty sure there's a connection that can be made about all of this though I'm not sure it should be made. Bottom line they're very weird

The whole team has a thing for a guy, so Bose and Miles both have a fluid sexuality?

And also they confirmed that Ray has a crush on Henry? They can’t play the same song talking about like liking someone and having Ray drool over seeing Henry the same exact way the 4 kids did seeing their crush and expect me to believe he’s just excited to see his friend again.

Leading into 8 “Return of the Kid”

Do y’all think Henry was a little jealous of the fact that Ray is obviously more carful with the kids than he was with Him? I mean Ray’s still reckless but Henry was almost shocked by the low stakes missions Mika was telling him about and Henry was fight with bombs on his first day as Kid danger. (More carful with them when Henry’s not around because obviously Ray wasn’t joking about burning everything to the ground to go back to dystopia with him)

“I love this” “I love you” “WHAT?” “I said get ready for round two” and then they tango into the night. That’s some fanfic bullshit and I won’t change my mind.

Canonically Mika died. that’s it. Canonically one of the kids died and they never brought it up again.
