#danny's asks

[goldenlikedayl1ght]

hey gorgeous! just wanted to drop by and compliment you on your amazing writing + elite music taste (seriously, are you me, we listen to the exact same artists). I love love love your matt stuff so much, I've been checking your blog every day for the fics in the dd:ba countdown series. Just wondering what you think he'd be like with a reader who's a model? just very ironic in my opinion even though we all know he can magically detect hot girls. anyway, it could be as spicy or sfw as you want, i just want to know your thoughts!

(ps: if you're winding what song to put with it, let me humbly suggest either mirrorball by ts or young & beautiful by ldr)

oh hi!! i love getting asks they make me giddy, so thanks for reaching out!! im so happy youre enjoying the countdown series and my matthew, since i love love love writing for him. i've never really considered him with a model, but i have now! and were gonna try a new format with this ask. im very sorry if this is inaccurate i know NOTHING about being a model also just a general trigger warning for body issues, insecurity and body dysmorphia!! and a little nsfw at the end

young & beautiful - lana del rey

for years and years, everyone has always noticed how gorgeous you are first-- it's part of the job, you tell yourself, your whole career is your looks.

but that doesn't stop the insecurities from growing, the anxiety from poking you or the body dysmorphia from washing over you.

you also have bad luck with dating. everyone you start to date people cannot see past your career-- if they don't only date you for your looks, theres a 99% chance they'll become overwhelmed with jealousy soon enough.

so when you start dating matt, you take it slow.

but it's immediately different with him; he's blind, not stupid, he knows how beautiful you are (something something gorgeous person, matt murdock finding them, foggy nelson suffering)

it's just that.. matt's first impression of you isn't your looks or your career. instead, he notices the way you laugh, the details you notice, and the way you always, always start humming when you think nobody's paying attention.

it becomes something of a game for matt. when he goes to your shows, he listens closely from the audience when you hum as you get your hair done.

he's noticed you hum everything-- from lullabies to rock songs, from taylor swift to my chemical romance, from folk music to michael jackson. it's one of his favorite things about you.

something else he loves about dating you is how often you get your nails done. he loves running his fingers over the various shapes and textures, and he loves the sensation of your nails scratching his skin.

one time, you even convince him to go with you to get them done. you two chat as matt gets used to the sensations that come with getting a manicure (he hates the sensation of the nail file but enjoys the lotion bit)

and of course, when you get any sort of designer clothes, a semi frequent perk of the job, you let matt run his fingers over the fabric, testing it.

his favorite is when you get jobs modeling lingerie. and sure, there's moments of fleeting jealousy that photos of you in this stuff will be plastered everywhere..

but matt's the only one who gets to fuck you after ripping the lingerie off of you. he's the one you come home to, and he's the one that gets to feel you clenched around him while he kisses you, lingerie still on.

and slowly, your body issues get better-- they don't go away, but the voice in your head telling you you're not good enough slowly becomes drowned out by the other voice telling you that you should invite matt to a photoshoot, maybe he'd like to experience it with you.

maybe he'd like to makeout with you in your dressing room between outfits. maybe he'd like to do more than just makeout.

The Realm's Greatest Actor

Danny didn't mean to lie. He really didn't. Or, well, he did. But he didn't want to! He had no choice.

He wasn't great at lying, but he was amazing at acting.

So that's what he did. He acted, playing the part of a thousand-year-old king stuck as a kid. It was easy because it wasn't fully an act.

Danny had died. When he died, he was fourteen. His ghost stayed fourteen forever. His human half stopped noticeably aging at 18 or 19-ish. He has been a ghost for... 240 years? 245? Maybe a little more. And he has been the Ghost King for 235.

So, he acted the part. When he was summoned, he pulled out the theatrics. Chill the room, frost the floor and walls, maybe a little of the ceiling. Fancy cape, fancy crown, fancy fantasy king clothes. Presentation of what most expect.

But he was forever fourteen, so he needed a little... something more, if you will. Floating around, randomly appearing behind people, the occasional echoing giggle. A fae-like trickster, if you will.

So was his act. He would get summoned, decide whether to do the thing or not, maybe have a mostly harmless twist. Like making people make him food, or he turning the big bad into a squirrel, or whatever. A childish trickster, with the powers of a god.

He set up some rules for himself he didn't actually have to follow.

Don't go into a room before invited, but after even the slightest invitation, he could go whenever he pleased for the rest of eternity.

Shake hands to 'seal a deal' or, if they're really gross, snap. And when you shake, do way too much; fast and eager.

Whenever someone asks him to do something, ask for something in return. If they say no to what he asked, just huff and do the thing they asked anyway.

Laugh at random comments, and make random comments that make no sense. i.e, "Wow. The walls are so hungry here! You should probably paint them blue.

Sprinkle a little ice on random things, and anything he eats or drinks. Don't explain it, and maybe do it for some people he likes.

Randomly stare at things, and tap/poke a door knob before opening the door.

There were a few smaller things, but that was the gist of it. Random rules to throw people off his scent. Leave them wondering and curious.

So, when Danny is summoned to help with a world-ending threat by a bunch of heroes that remind him of when he was a kid watching cartoons, he helps. And he stays. But how long can he keep up this charade?

(Prompt- you're here!) (part 1)

F*ck Forgiveness. I Want Vengeance.

Hmmmm

Another DeadTired idea. And Ghost King Danny with Consort Tim.

Tim dies a bitter ended death with the Batfam (Maybe during his RR run and isn't caught by Dick when he is kicked out of WE window? Or its in the future where his relationship between the bats is bad.)

So yeah Tim dies. And wakes in the Infinite Realms and learns to unlive in that Realm and gained a wonderful afterlife.

And somehow manages to gain the attention of the Ghost King, King Phantom and somehow manages to become his Consort after some adorable ghost courting.

Despite the fact he's been dead for like a few months in his original Realms timeline, time in the Infinite Realms is more ocean like than riverish, Tim has been happily married to his husband for what feels like eons.

So Tim was not, very very not happy when his ghost is suddenly pulled away from his anniversary dinner and stuffed back into his body.

He hears yelling and fighting, wakes to see the Bats fighting League Assassins while Batman is fighting Ra's in rage.

And Tim.

He isn't happy at all.

He already figured it out, connected the dots.

Oh Ra's was going to regret bringing him back. The Bats, and he KNOWS they should had respected his last wishes to be fucking cremated, ashes scattered in space, so THIS wouldn't had happened.

Cause Tim wasn't playing around anymore.

DPxDC Put on A Show

TW: suicide attempts but for fun

After a few years of doing the whole vigilante thing, Danny gets bored of his quick and simple transformation act. He gets bored of doing the memes along with it as well — the 'I guess I'll die' was funny at first, but there's really only so many times it works.

The solution? He starts staging his own deaths. Throwing a toaster in the bathtub, comically falling down on a knife, slipping on a banana peal and hitting his head, all that jazz. He has his own list of preferred suicides, ranking from the quickest to slowest and from the least to most painful, and another one that goes from the least inconvenient method to most troublesome one. The first one on the latter is getting shot at. The last is getting suffocated in a swarm of bees so far.

His friends are long used to it — they are all Amity kids, honestly, their idea of humor is really twisted. They laugh their asses off when Danny attempts to strangle himself with one of those sour candy strips. They laugh even harder when he succeeds.

But then Danny moves for college and realizes that most people outside Amity Park don't think performed suicide is funny.

And, well.

Sucks to be them because Danny does not plan on stopping any time soon!

The absolute culmination of it comes one dark November evening, when the Fenton luck strikes again and Danny finds himself being a hostage in Joker's old as time performance: making Batman choose between saving Robin or saving a helpless civilian, both of them hanging over the tanks full of acid.

Only, midway through the madman's pathetic speech, they all get to see said civilian wake up, look around to realize what kind of situation he ended up in, and then excitedly say, "Sick, a jacuzzi!"

And happily, eagerly wiggle his way out of the ropes to fall in, screaming, "Cannonball!"

(I am ~buzzing~ with ideas…. Allow me to release some)

Once Danny was an adult, he decided to join Ellie in her ‘permanent world tour’. It’s better than staying in Amity where the opinion of Phantom hasn’t gotten much better. Besides, the portal caused the veil to get weaker, allow ghost to wreak havoc where ever they want.

He’s met a lot new ghost cause of this too. Old as Mycenaean Greece to non humans who came to Earth and died there. Danny’s learnt so much from them that he’s basically a walking in Encyclopaedia.

So, Danny’s decided “fuck it.” and has it became a part-time history teacher. It’s fun! He knows the details by heart and is able to make it more fun than just droning on about the same old wars and whatever. He enjoys it, the kids enjoy it and the ghosts having their stories told!

Of course, this does cause some problems when people try to correct him. Danny’s argument? “I got them correct sources.”

And when anyone asks him how knows his sources are correct? “My source was there when it happened.”

Cue the dc world thinking that Danny’s just some immortal guy whose decided to use his immortality for good(TM)

[cursedbycrossovers]

Help Wanted ≠ Send Sacrifices

Danny gripped his bangs in his fist, staring down at the paperwork before him with endless frustration and not a lick of comprehension.

Why was there so much paperwork, anyway? Pariah Dark hadn't exactly seemed like the type to keep records. Had he done this on purpose? As punishment to whomever wound up taking the throne from him? Danny had to admit, that sounded like a really devious plan. Unless the next ruler had been, like, The Secretary Ghost or something.

… that gave Danny an idea.

Clockwork had told him about this "Kingly Connection" thing he had yet to try out. Supposedly, it made it so that the king could address his subjects all at once, no matter where they may be. In case of an urgent announcement or Realms-threatening danger, or something.

To Danny, it sounded like a really efficient way to send out a 'Help Wanted' ad. Everyone would be able to hear it, and anyone who for some reason didn't could learn about it through word of mouth. Those who felt they were qualified could come see him at the Keep, and those who didn't could just continue on with whatever they'd been doing. It was the perfect plan.

Danny flopped back in his seat, relieved for the reprieve as he shut his tired eyes. He followed the pull, down, down, into his core… and then even further, til the light behind his eyes got brighter, til he reached the power of the KING.

Hey, everyone. This is your King speaking. I need like, a secretary or something. Someone who can help me handle literal millennia of paperwork. So, if y'all could come on down to the Keep, or pass the offer on to the smartest person you know, that'd be dope.

Danny felt as the power pulsed within his chest, sending his message out along the millions of tiny strings tying all Undead souls back to his. He sighed and slouched in his chair, exhaustion finally catching up to him. All he had to do now was wait. A little nap in the meantime couldn't hurt, could it?

— — —

Jason felt simultaneously floaty and more grounded than he had since his mysterious resurrection. All his anger and uncertainty was just gone, replaced by pure drive and direction. He wasn't thinking very deeply, but he knew what he was doing. It was like laying on the surface of a sunlit lake, letting the gentle waves take him wherever they wished.

The Red Hood finished the chalk circle in the middle of the wide, empty warehouse floor and stepped back. The lines and starbursts that decorated it were drawn immaculately, without a single smudge. Now, all he needed was…

… the smartest person you know…

… Where was Tim?

DcxDp preschool teacher au

Danny sometimes slips into teacher mode around the league. Sometimes he'll clap and go "1 2 3 eyes on me" when he gets to speak in meetings. The league immediately settles down and listens. When it happens again he clarifies that he's a preschool teacher and was still in teacher mode. The league is now picturing Danny's class as eldritch beings. Danny is a little embarrassed that the clap trick actually worked on the other members of the league

Danny: *on instinct* Alright, everyone, say ‘bye bye’ to Bruce!

Everyone: *also on instinct* Bye bye, Bruce

Diana and J’onn: *looking at each other in confusion bc they didn’t have a human preschool education* ??

Batman as he’s leaving the JL tower: *expressionlessly waving back* Bye bye.

[goldenlikedayl1ght]

omg ok a bit of a ramble but i’ve been thinking about your matt x elektra x reader fic for daysss bc i just started this guard/educator job at a museum and we had a private business-y event. i couldn’t stop thinking about your matt and elektra walking in and immediately clocking the reader taking a not-so professional interest in them because like elektra looks Gorgeous obv and matt is just Like That, and they look Like That Together. and maybe they decide they’re gonna have some fun.

maybe they casually walk up to the artwork you’re standing next to and elektra asks you to tell them more about the pretty thing in front of them. and you start talking about the art, but she cuts you off with a “darling, i meant you.“ while matt just smirks as your brain reboots, heart rate soaring. elektra doesn’t give you a second, though, “now they’re blushing the most lovely pink, matthew. what ever should we do about that?” and matt, smug, always willing to play along, to push, goes “seems like you knocked all the thoughts out of their pretty head. so flustered over a little comment, huh, isn’t that right, sweetheart?” and you just nod, dumbfounded, disbelieving, locking eyes with an expectant elektra and you somehow know they’re both waiting for the shaky, “yea… yes” you manage to get out. matt hums in approval while elektra smiles, catlike, satisfied, “see? like i said. Lovely. we’ll let you get back to work now, darling.”

maybe that’s it and they don’t talk to you the rest of the night, just love the way they know you’re still staring after them. maybe they do that anyways, then sweep back past you arm-in-arm as the event ends and with a light brush on your arm and a whisper in your ear, elektra tells you they’ll be a car out front in ten minutes for you if you’d like to join them for the night. you slide into that car exactly ten minutes later and they’re waiting for you in the back seat.

but like omggggg love love love your dom!elektra and switch!matt, also of course some comment about pinning the reader to the wall like the art they are because i don’t think elektra or matt could resist

oh hi!! waking up to this ask made me so happy because guilty as sin is one of the best fics ive ever written so.

ANYWAYS.

the idea of them picking you out of a crowd to mess with you while on your shift.. especially if it's a long shift where the two of them, sometimes alone, sometimes together, will come and say something teasing to you...

this ask was a treasure to wake up to. i hope you have a lovely day anon i love you.

How about Danny is working at the last Waffle house in Gotham and just vibing with Rogues and hero's

“No you can’t have chocolate chips in your hashbrowns, please stop asking.”

“I didn’t even say my order yet!”

Poor Danny having to wrangle 3 AM hash brown orders from Nightwing.

The worst jobs ever lead to 0 Student debt

Have you ever been so broke that you've resorted to gigs that normally would make you seem like a minor villains goon?

Danny has.

Being practically broke, drowning in constant student debt, college student has led to some of the weirdest side gigs Danny has ever done. He can at the very least confirm that as he continues his degree in Astrophysics at MIT.

But in all honesty, he's not very picky or upset about how weird they are. Danny would rather do something strange once, then continue drowning in debt the way he was currently.

Student debt was not a joke.

And even if it were, it wasn't a very funny one, considering he himself was just scraping by on his two front teeth due to them.

Either way, the point was Danny's done practically everything in Gotham possible just to make some small bits of cash here and there. Danny only ever goes to Gotham for the sake of an extra ectoplasm boost on top of the fact it has the most jobs out of any city possible due to the crime rate.

He's been a temporary goon and a guard to several different warehouses throughout Gotham & New York City (most times there isn't even anyone or anything in them but a jobs a job). He's been in charge of covering a front temporarily for what looks like fake companies (nothing to do with drug dealing or the mob for some reason, he usually tries to stay clear of those offers).

He also was a tester for some of Mr. Nygma's traps being hired for the sheer fact that he couldn't really die and therefore could test several of Mr.Nygma's traps at once.

He took a temp job to help feed Dr.Quinzel's pet hyenas when she was in Arkham for awhile as well as pet sit. That one was his favorite honestly, Lou and Bud were sweethearts despite the carnage thing.

He recently had even been a personal insta-cart driver for a certain Penguin mob-boss strangely enough (until the guy got sent back to Arkham that is).

Danny really isn't picky when it comes to jobs unless it was just something mostly immoral and just insane, like drug dealing and/or murder & world or several life ending situations or just involved with someone like the Joker.

It's gotten to a point that the average Gotham goon usually recognizes him when he passes by during a job visit. They tended to recommend him a new job when they saw him, knowing he was just as eager as they were in this economy.

Which is how he ended up here, sitting in an empty warehouse yet again for possibly another hour before he could leave and get paid. Danny was sat on the floor doing his advanced calc homework and trying not to scream about it as he sat there.

It was something he did when the nights were slower honestly. The night was ruined quickly after that though when the glass shattered above him and scattered all over his homework and the rest of the ground.

Danny only sighed and mourned the possible money he'd be losing to that mess before shaking the glass off of him and his papers. He didn't bother looking up at his possible attacker.

"You have got to be fuckin kidding me. Not again, Kid."

Only then does Danny look up to see who broke the window. Red Hood sounds exasperated despite the mask covering all of his real voice with a mechanical voice changer. Besides him was Nightwing who seemed just as disappointed as his partner was while putting his escrima sticks behind his back.

"Can I help you Red Pill, Blue Pill?"

That made Red Hood snort while Nightwing just sighed into his hands and dragged them down his face before responding.

"Kid, what are you doing in he- Is that homework???"

Nightwing walked closer almost sounding offended as he looked down at the mess of Danny's math that he was going to have to redo before turning in tomorrow. The thought of recopying everything made him feel angry all over again.

"The one you guys wrecked by getting glass all over it? Yes," Danny leaned back into his plastic chair provided by the Goonion. "Thanks for that by the way, I'm going to have to recopy everything before class tomorrow."

"That wouldn't be a problem if you just got a normal part-time job like a normal young adult." Red Hood snorted as Nightwings slight lecture and it made Danny roll his eyes at the both of them as he sat up.

As if he hadn't tried that route already. In between his space museum internship during the day and his thousands of classes every week, he didn't exactly fit a lot of younger adult jobs schedule.

"Do you know any nearby normal adult jobs that are hiring a current university student with millions in debt and a internship schedule that only allows them to work at night?" Danny snapped back which made Red Hood start to snort and laugh again at Nightwings expression.

"Well..." Nightwing at the very least had the decency to look sheepish as if he had thought about it genuinely and couldn't think of a thing.

"Thought so." Danny slumped against the chair again, before shutting his eyes. He waved them away as he sat back, already mentally preparing himself for another all nighter for the sake of recopying his papers.

"If thats all, I'll see you next time I get a fake listing or bad job that you guys have a tendency to break into. Go away."

Nightwing only sighed again before Danny heard his grappling hook sound off back through the broken window into the night. Red Hood only chuckled one last time before ruffling his hair.

"See you, Kid. Make sure you try to sleep before class"

Danny just huffed at him and waved him off again as Red Hood shot his grappling hook off into the night and joined Nightwing. With a sigh, Danny sat up again and grabbed his nearby backpack filled with scrap paper.

Time to restart the equation all over again.

______________________________________________________________

Basically Danny needs money to keep going to MIT so he continuously decides to take up jobs for hire in Gotham (and other places but mostly Gotham), which lead to him breaking a lot of laws for another cash grab.

Meanwhile, the Batfam is very concerned that they keep meeting this meta young adult (who doesn't even live in Gotham!!) who seems to continuously be running through villain placed ad offers like water to get cash.

How desperate for cash is this guy????

[dcxdpdabbles]

Sam: I just realized something

Tucker: What?

Sam: If ghosts are real....wouldn't that mean vampires, are real too?

Danny: Hey, now, don't go causing uncontrollable dread in me. I have a Spanish test tomorrow that am not prepared for and thus can not afford more dread.

Tucker: Beside, if there were vampires, wouldn't we have seen some by now?

Sam: I suppose you're right. Wait- what's that in Danny second floor window!?

Tucker: Nice try Sam. We won't fall for such a obvious-

Sam: No seriously- WHAT IS THAT!?

Batman: I have some questions for you kids.

Danny/Sam/Tucker:

Batman: Stop screaming. This is a very serious matter. What do you three know about the murder of Johnny Gray and Kitty O'Malley from Gotham, 1979?

Tucker: Oh no, it's a DETECTIVE vampire! Even if we run, he'll do a clue montage and find us!
