My Favorite DPxDC Posts On Tumblr (as I Find Them)

The Forbidden Pool

HEAR YE, HEAR YE,

After not shutting up about it back in 2022, I finally got to post the first chapter of my rewritten Ghost Boy.

Summary: If friends could prosper through thick and thin, how would they hold up if one is half-dead and the other is trying to prove it at every turn?

How would it especially hold up if the latter has a crush on the halfa?

Note: first few chapters are pre-Danny-death

Jason*tells to a new friend how he wants to kill the Joker*.

Danny*takes a sip then gives him the thermos*: Chill, dude. Just eat him.

Jason:..What have you got in your thermos, Danny?

Danny: Do not ask the question if you already know the answer. But it’s something with an ecto signature.

Jason:

Danny: Don’t be shy. I already had breakfast today.

Batman: Suspiciously, no sign of the Joker.

Batman: What are you drinking, Hood?

Red Hood: Em..Soda?

Batman: Which flavor is it?

Red Hood *who can’t keep his mouth shut*: Sweet revenge.

Amity Parkers moving to Gotham for college. Sam and Paulina pooling their trust funds together to buy an abandoned hotel and fitting it as apartments for everybody. They all train together in the courtyard to keep their skills up and just because it's fun. Suddenly an influx of super competent self-trained (or maybe ghost-trained) young adults.

Everybody having their little niches and suddenly they all have more free time that's not being taken up by ghost attacks so many of them started different YouTube channels with info they found out from the ghostly residents of Amity. Star and Paulina running a history of beauty channel going over makeup, hair styles and fashion, special guest Sam when going over alt fashions. Dash and Kwan running one on the history of sports. Wes and Mikey running a conspiracy theory podcast. Valerie running a martial arts channel. Danny just info-dumping about space and spacecraft in videos that range from 45 minutes to four hours. Tucker running a how-to channel for fixing tech and coding. Sam running a combination true crime and witchy channel. The Trio running a Let's Play channel.

Ghostly things happening in all of the videos and everybody guesting on everybody else's channels leads to everybody thinking it's all an elaborate ARG. Danny just floating through the walls half-asleep with a glowing shaker bottle in the background. Some of them when they're in the middle of a rant seem to forget to take a breath or their eyes or freckles start glowing. On a livestream Paulina snaps at somebody off screen and her eyes are suddenly glowing green. Danielle pops in during a charity livestream that the Trio are running and calls Danny-Daddy, Sam-Mom, and Tucker-Dad and is just floating on the back of the couch. Danny doing a stream to watch a rocket take off and suddenly a robe and crown flash and he disappears in a flash of green and the stream is just dead space until the rocket's about to take off and Danny comes running in and jumps over the back of his chair to watch it and cheer.

Reblog for later when it's not 4 in the morning.

dere you go

The Bats tend to have favorite civilians, paramedics, cops, that they love to mess with or claim. It gets even worse when multiple Bats favor the same person and try to call dibs.

Danny ends up as one of these people.

It starts when he gets off of work late and finds Red Hood and Red Robin sitting on the curb eating pizza. He hadn't eaten anything all day, and it smelled delicious, and so what few braincells Danny had left scattered and he asks, "Can I have a slice?"

Both vigilantes turn to look at him, then each other, and shrug. They let him take a slice.

It was only the beginning.

Spoiler gets a tired "thanks" saving Danny from a mugging.

Black Bat practically buzzes with glee when she learns Danny knows sign language and helps her speak with a child witness.

Signal gets a more energetic Danny, though also a cautious distance after Signal once smacked into Danny and spilled his coffee all over the poor man.

Nightwing gets the brunt of one of his bad days when Danny decides he's done being held hostage and slips out of the bindings to chuck his shoe at the Riddler. Nightwing hi-fives him later for managing to hit Riddler in the face.

Even Robin has moments with Danny, after catching him taking care of some stray animals amd chasing off idiots who were looking for dogs to put into a recent (and very quickly shut down) dog fighting ring.

When everyone actually figures out Danny is the SAME Danny they all have been seeing around, Bruce has to fight the instinctive headache at the incoming fights. And resist the urge of looking up what seemed to be just a random Gothamite.

Danny at this point just wants a nap. And for these weird undead beings that didn't do well with his ice to stop coming for him. He had student debts to pay.

Yes.

I have the dumbest idea. Fully grown up adult Danny ends up having a fling with Constantine when he comes through Amity to study ghosts. It's kinda hot and heavy, but also casual. John leaves and goes on.

A year later something happens where something he's hunting has severely pissed off the Ghost King. At first, John's like "oh shit, Pariah Dark is awake?" And only finds out when this tall, buff stud shows up that King Pariah Dark is out, King Phantom is in, and also, the new King finds John as hot as John finds him.

A year after that, John gets called to a JL HQ to greet a new hero who's joining the Justice League because he also does paranormal stuff and Supes wants all the magic heroes to meet or something. So he shows up and there's Danny Fenton, being all tall broad shoulders and goofy smiles. John doesn't even question why he's there. He does sneak off with Danny to make out in a coat closet until Batman finds them.

Danny's super sheepish and John kinda feels bad enough to not make smartass comments as they walk back to the group. He stands out with the others while Supes makes the introduction. John's suddenly wondering *why* Danny is there and *where* the new guy is.

Then this happens.

Superman: I'm honored to introduce the Justice League's newest member, Phantom.

Danny transforms into Phantom, who doesn't have the glowing crown, and who doesn't glow so much, but he doesn have those sexy sharp teeth, and is clearly King Phantom.

John Constantine, realizing what's happened: oh, fuck me!

Danny, with that big shit eating grin of his: I'm pretty sure I've already done that about a dozen times, love. But I wouldn't mind another go.

John might love him a little bit.

I just love the "they're more scared of you than you are of them" thing because, yeah, Earth is a Deathworld filled with very dangerous beings, but also everyone in it is scared and would rather not interact with each other unless necessary

Alien: This is a very dangerous animal!

Human: Don't worry, we'll just walk away.

Alien: But it's watching us!

Human: It's hoping we leave already, so we're leaving.

Alien: It... It is?

Human: Yeah, it is more scared of us than we are of it. Let's go before the fight instinct kicks in because then it'll become a dangerous animal

Alien:...
