I might have missed this in another post... but what is Danny's motivation for becoming a ghost hunter in the gray ghost AU? Is it still his sense of responsibility? Or did Valerie and Cujo (or some other ghost) manage to mess something up for him? Did Maddie nudge him into it, somehow?
that was actually covered in my response to the ask that started this whole thing!
basically, he was stargazing up on a radio tower near the labs when the portal turned on, he saw the power surge and the ghost girl running from the building, finding out the next day that his parents were blamed for faulty equipment
his parents move all their work into the house and it constantly disrupts his daily life, his parents are also completely gutted about being fired and the whole thing is driving a wedge between his mum and his uncle Vlad, who still works at Axion but isn't able to convince them to rehire the Fentons
so his parents are short tempered all the time, the food in the fridge is constantly being contaminated by ectoplasm, his parents make a shit ton of noise at all hours of the day and night, and he barely gets to see his favourite uncle any more
and he knows it's all that ghost girl's fault
Maddie does find out that he's secretly ghost hunting, and subtly leaves weapons and equipment lying around for him to steal, considering that she plans to turn him into a halfa, she wants him to be comfortable flying around and shooting projectiles, it'll make it easier for him to adjust when he's able to do it naturally
the fact that it means he keeps Valerie busy is just a bonus
