Danny x ra's but their a fresh from a nasty breakup and danny is just going through the breakup motions watch your favourites eat ice cream cry all that jazz but in gotham why?
Because i want the bat's to come across this guy crying on a roof eat ice cream and comforing him trying to get him off the roof and when they ask what his boyfriends name is he juat says ra's fucking al ghul
"It's not fair" he whines "why are tge hot ones always the leaders of some murder cult"
I just want the bat's trying to wrap their head around the fact that this twink was sumhow dating ra's and presumably dumped him because he was the head of a murder cult and HOW IS HE STILL ALIVE
I don't know how to explain it but some characters just have insane bi-guy energy to the point where I can physcially see a pink, purple and blue aura outline them sometimes.
What would you do if you encountered an eldritch horror?
Well obviously you would- EH! WRONG!
The only obvious answer is to suduce it and make sure it likes you enough to spare you from the brunt of madness. If it works out you may even get some cool powers in the end.
I don't know about you all but give me a stamina potion and we'd be going all night.
Returning to my old roots of being the CEO of Duke/Danny
Honestly surprised there's not much fics pulling from the Ultimate Enemy Timeline, and I'm talking Abt post semi redeemed Dan, or Danny's friends and fam die but he doesn't go evil just traumatically runs away, id like to see an in the middle concept. Like post him becoming full ghost but pre him becoming Dan.
Now being a full ghost and a powerful one at that, Danny's chaotic destructive ass makes a beeline straight for Gotham due to its raw supernatural energy that he's heard rumors about from peeps in the Ghost zone. And his ass goes there to chomp on weaker/blob ghosts (idk if it was said how Dan got powerful like that so I'm making shit up)
Like usually some people who see him do this are like "omgee, new hero/protector!!" And he just hisses and vanishes, bro has reached cryptid poltergeist status. he doesn't care about saving people cause that's LAME, and he DOESN'T DO THAT ANYMORE, cause it's LAME, but he doesn't admit that deep, deep, DEEP down, there's a flicker of humanity that buzzes with warmth at being recognized as a protector again
Batfam is obviously suspicious of this deeply suspicious and mistrusting ghost guy but Duke has a bit more of an open minded thinking bro is going through a metahuman crisis and wants to help because there's not a lot of open metahumans in Gotham (that aren't evil) and wants to offer some sort of guidance before the intricate web of evil catches him.
So Duke is investigating Danny on his own, trying to learn more about ghosty dude and how he can find him or help him, eventually learning about the GIW and their attempt to enact anti-ecto laws which by association would allow them to experiment ghost/specter powered metahumans. As well as wanting to take them down, he also wants to find out if they have anything about the Ghost boy he's investigating.
While casually breaking into one of their facilities in Gotham, he finds a group of scientists in the middle of beginning some type of ghost dissection on Danny while hes still awake and thrashing, so as one does, Duke proceeds to jump everyone. In the scuffle, Danny gets freed and is about to escape but actually sticks around to start beating everyone's ass with Duke.
Duke guides Danny out of the building and before he can even say anything, Danny hisses and vanishes. Duke sighs at the loss of his investigations victim but finds himself being almost stalked by the ghost. Dried ectoplasm smeared above doorways which only he can see because of his perception of light, electronics being finicky around him, being surrounded by a cold air, and a whole bunch of semi threatening gestures
Unknown to Duke, this is Danny trying to befriend him aggressively due to kinda forgetting how to do it normally
Does ao3 have a plan for when 2025 makes adult materials illegal? Like are they going to move to another country or just shut down
--
I haven't been part of OTW since 2014, so I have no idea what the internal discussions are.
But 1. no, obviously, they wouldn't just shut down, and 2. let's wait and see what happens instead of assuming it's a done deal.
Fanfiction crossovers are so interesting to me because of how much you can do with it.
I'm terrible at explaining things so please bear with me for a few seconds.
Often with a universe set in media there are specific sets of rules to how that universe works and how it shapes the stories writers tell going forward. But, fanfiction doesn't have to follow those rules if they don't want to, they can bend and even disregard them to fit their own ideal story and most of the time it works.
For example say that a person from one universe is an adult and another from a different one is a child, each telling their own seperate stories with different outcomes from one another that are most often than not set in stone. Then you add fanfiction and suddenly the little boy from that other universe is actually the grown man's dad who died and got reincarnated.
Fanfiction opens so much more possibilities for a story whose tale has already been told to continue with something new and even exciting. For this I would like to use the DP x DC fandom as an example. Normally a crossover with these two pieces of media at first glance doesn't seem all that strange, they both tell the story of people becoming superheroes to deal with threats and the struggles that come with such a thing. However with the addition of fanfiction everything can take a drastic turn.
In some DP x DC fanfics Phantom and a certain superheroes/villians could be family who form a safe haven for each other, in another they could be lovers who are intertwined by fate to be eternally happy with the other's prescenes and in another they could be enemies who do everything in their power to stop the other.
Someone made a post mentioning how Danny/Phantom is like Barbie for the DC x DP fandom and I couldn't agree more, he could be molded and shaped into any image you desire and it wouldn't feel too weird, from a regular ghostly dude who throws med kits at the bats when he passes them to a very powerful eldritch being destined to wear a crown and sit on a throne of stars and ice.
It's so crazy to me how far fanfiction has come and I really appreciate that.
what if you were GAY and your girlfriend was the personification of DEATH and then your SON died and she had to reap his SOUL or whatever because it was her JOB and then you never forgave her but she still LOVED you and then you projected your GRIEF onto a random teenager while battling through DEATH trials with PATTI LUPONE
Something something Kamakura spent some time with Makoto disguised as a guard before rehabilitation, enjoyed it a lot, and now when Hajime comes out of the programme he now also views Makoto as a being deserving of the best protection (him).
It starts off small like Makoto running into Fuyuhiko while out of Hope's Peak only to escalate to him being grabbed and held hostage by the Kuzuruyu Clan because he was mistaken as their target. It keeps happening and becomes a running theme where everyone expects Makoto to show up captured sooner or later.
"Just so you know, this could've gone much easier if you— WHAT THE F*CK ARE YOU DOING HERE?" Lifting the bag off the face, expecting to see the bastard.
"Heyyyy senpai..." Makoto's voice coming out more nervous than afraid, "Nice suit by the way."
"DON'T TRY TO EASE YOUR WAY OUT OF THIS YOU LITTLE SHIT."
