New Dpxdc Fic!

new dpxdc fic!

it's time!! this is my entry for the @dpxdcbigbang Ghouls and Gangs 2024 DPxDC Bang! I started work on this, what, six months ago?? more than that??? it's been a while. it's also fought me every step of the way, and the idea behind this story actually spawned a couple other fics -- including heart ache (makes the soul grow) which I need to get back to and something I'm still working on that I'm calling finest vintage. but! this is the original, and oh boy has it taken a lot of work, so I hope you enjoy it!

also!!! I am still absolutely stoked that I got the amazing @paxopalotls as my artist!! soon, possibly by the time you see this, they'll have posted their art for this fic too which I haven't even seen complete yet and ahhh. it was literally pax's art I was thinking of when I was dreaming about what someone could create for this fic, so that's been absolutely amazing. please go give pax some love <3

finally, I do need to give a content warning for this one, though I'm not quite sure how to describe it. but, uh. Danny's experience in this is based on That Time My Drink Got Spiked At A Bar (though there's no bars or alcohol or spiking in the fic), so. please look after yourself if that might be triggering.

a different kind of ecto

That was the thing about Gotham — it stank. He'd first caught a whiff of it when they crossed the bridge, like a fruit salad made of oranges and rotten mango. He'd smelled it several times since, then he'd started to taste it, and then it didn't leave. Eventually his tongue started to feel fuzzy with it, his teeth feeling like he hadn't brushed them in a week, and that was the last straw. --- Danny braves the Gotham streets for a seemingly simple quest, only to discover he underestimated and completely misjudged the dangers. Jason just wants answers. He's about to get way more than he bargained for.
