If Danny is locked in a deflector, wouldn't that be constantly shocking him?

Perhaps so far removed from his emotions, he simply can't express that pain. But the physical signs would still be there. Erratic heartbeat, shortness of breath, signs of sleeplessness, a constant full body tremble.

If someone touches him, does the current carry over? Have the Fenton's done something to keep him physically isolated? Put him in a bubble or something. Clearly they've done something to silence him so he can't tell anyone what they're really doing to him.

That, or Danny sees no point in trying to tell anyone. Perhaps he believes no one he tells ever could or even would do anything. They'll either believe his parents as the experts, so no point in wasting his breath. Or they'll report him to the GIW, who would be so much worse. Best to just keep his mouth shut and figure his own way out of this, or hope that it'll at least be over soon. The constant reminder of his death is really starting to unravel him.

Danny has been captured by parents who thought that they could 'fix' him. They thought he was possessed.

Their fix? Capping all emotions. It wasn't a lobotomy per se, but it was quite close to it. The Fenton's know this isn't a long-term fix, they are looking for something more permanent. Which is what led them to a Wayne Charity Gala in the first place. The Drs. Fenton are seeking funds to make a mirical cure for their obviously sick son. No, they can't tell you more about it (not here at least). If you want to find out more you can donate and come to their next seminar.

Danny is sickly and devoid of all emotions, this sets off some red flags for the bats, regardless of what the boys parents are saying.

They try to rehome him again, this time into Selina's place while she's out. He sticks around long enough for her to see him then bolts. He leads her on a long chase around Gotham until he finds Robin, climbing his shoulder as Catwoman comes to a stop on the same rooftop.

Damian is furious that Selina attempted to steal his cat, until Selina explains that he was simply in her apartment along with an open carrier when she got home. She was simply trying to catch him to ensure he made it safely back to the manor. Damian takes Snitches' calm demeanor as Catwoman offers him a couple of scritches and compliments as his verifying her story. Of course, that begs the question of how he ended up at Kyle's place to begin with. Snitches' "hiding" and hissing when one of his siblings lands on the rooftop seems a decent clue.

I am not immune to magical animal transformation fics. Also, my cat!Danny agenda. So, like, Damian finding a magically transformed Danny, mistaking him for a regular cat, then sneaking him into the manor obviously tickles my fancy. But also, Cat!Danny winning Alfred over by being a complete narc every time one of the bats try to do something stupid while injured is just... *chef's kiss*

Bruce- *trying to sneak down to the batcave while injured* Danny- *looking for mischief, sees injured Bruce swaying in hallway* Mrow? Bruce- Shh. Danny- *slightly louder* Mrep?! Bruce- I will give you all the tuna in the world if you- Danny- *air raid level yowling*

Totally ignoring that Dan just called them losers, is very grumpled about being there, and has been trying to leave the whole time.

Danny is highly amused by this. A bit baffled about how they thought Dan was him, but amused nonetheless.

Dan gets mistaken as Danny by his teammates. He tries to explain he's not Danny but they don't believe him. Instead they jump to the conclusion that he's Danny who's somehow being brainwashed. Because that makes more sense of course.

[ailithnight]

When Danny gets back

Danny: Dan? What are you doing here?

Dan: Oh thank fuck. Tell your losers I'm not you so they'll let me go.

The team: 2 Danny's? Twins? And they didn't tell us? Le GASP!

The team's Bat, who knew Dan wasn't Danny but wanted to keep an eye on him in case he was a clone or something: Hmm.

Dan gets mistaken as Danny by his teammates. He tries to explain he's not Danny but they don't believe him. Instead they jump to the conclusion that he's Danny who's somehow being brainwashed. Because that makes more sense of course.

Danny also has a copy of the photo. Of course, he couldn't buy the original; so he just ghosted, "borrowed" the negatives (or whatever the digital equivalent is), and made his own copy.

One thing the nice photograph doesn't catch because it's focused on Bruce and Jazz, but various lesser recordings of the event did, is the big grin on little Danny's face staring at his sister while Bruce stumbles over at the kick.

Of course Bruce is gonna forgive Jazz. It's not even a question. He might make a statement then and there trying to get ahead of Gotham's public opinion turning on the poor young lady for attacking their "air-headed, big-hearted Prince of Gotham, Brucie Wayne." Ultimately, this was just a young woman reacting to a strange man talking to her lost baby brother.

At most, he might ask how the young boy ended up lost at Gotham University. When Jazz doesn't seem to know herself and Danny just says he, "came to find Jazzy cause Mommy and Daddy's latest invention did something weird to him;" well, it couldn't hurt for Batman to do a little digging, could it?

Danny gets deaged and heads to Gotham to find jazz at collage there's only one problem he knows where the collage is just now where jazz's class is

Enter one bruce wayne who genuinely just so happened to be there (he's pulling a brucie wayme stunt) seeing a small kid looking around worried so what does the serial adopter do? Well he goes up to the kid of course crouching down to ask if he's ok whats his name wheres his parents or siblings?

Now jazz, jazz all but raised danny she protected him from a young age and helped him with anything he needed and durimg her time at collage she had worried for him, with the amount of bull her parents spouted she wouldn't be surprised if danny up and left

So imagine her surprise when she spotted her baby brother de aged talking to some stranger and at that moment every instinct flared and she remembered every warning she read or heard about Gotham and she acted

Danny was just looking for his sister when some guy crouched down to talk with him after asking some questions danny heard a sound he was familiar with jazz running

Bruce really wasn't expecting to be kicked for trying to help a kid

Love that Duke asked Danny if he had a less mind-breaking form and, instead of choosing one of his original 2 perfectly humanoid forms, Fenton or Phantom; he chose Little Baby Man.

That had to have been a deliberate choice. Duke is not getting out of the getting fucked with just cause he's helping Danny fuck with the others and they are also maybe dating. Duke is getting hit differently, but just as hard.

Ooh! Y'know what would be a fun one to mix with this? That one 'Phantom works at Batburger' post. The one where it is specifically Phantom, not Fenton. And Nightwing expresses confusion over the obvious meta (/maybe hero? That could definitely be a hero suit under the OG Robin costume) working at Batburger. To which Danny responds "Would you rather I joined a gang?" and it becomes a whole meme.

Then, all 3 of Danny's ghost forms could be being used to fuck withvarious Bats.

Maybe also throw in a 'The Bats are trying to track down this blue eyed black haired meta kid very obviously on the run from something bad enough that Gotham seemed the better option.'

Since Duke told them, they do know that the Space Eldritch and the Mischievous Noodle are the same being. But they have no idea he's also Batburger Meta and Adoption Bait. Three separate cases and files on the BatComputer, one Danny very pleased to be a menace in every way possible.

OOOOoooo!!!

Like eldritchy horrifying? More horror vibe horrifying? The ghosts themselves twisted by the curses of the city that took their lives until they're so distorted they hardly register as anything that used to be human

Either way - Danny is gonna be so beat! (Both in a tired sense and a 'made it by the skin of his teeth' kind of way)

....wonder if all those ghosts would have an effect on the ppl. Like, maybe that's why the villains are so much worse in Gotham than anywhere else - they're a whole new type of liminal

Fun idea to explore! Thank you!

The way I see it, it's more like

Ghosts are ectoplasm, of which the Zone is entirely comprised, influenced - given form and function by the sentience which inhabits it. More powerful ghosts, those with stronger sentience, can influence more ectoplasm. Hence why stronger ghosts tend to be bigger, more complex, and often more humanoid.

Particularly strong ghosts can influence lots of ectoplasm. Instead of shaping all of that ectoplasm into bigger and more complex forms, they may choose to will that ectoplasm into the shape of their perfect home. This is a Lair.

Lair's are always within the Zone.

Since a Lair is essentially an extension of the ghost which shaped it, that ghost is always completely and irrevocably sovereign within their Lair. It is fundamentally impossible to challenge a ghost's possession of their own Lair in the same way it is impossible to claim physical ownership of another human's body.

(Side note, many times,groups of likee-minded ghosts will band together to pool their spare ectoplasm into bigger, communal lairs. Ie, the Far Frozen. In these places, the strongest ghost/the ghost which provided the most ectoplasm will naturally assume a leadership role, but each individual which contributed to the ectoplasm pool will have some share of sovereignty.)

A Haunt is a portion of territory where a ghost may live or count it's own, but it is not an extension of that ghost. Haunts can exist on either side of the veil; but even if a ghost claims the Haunt as their territory, there is no sense of sovereignty.

Ghosts may even have Haunts within another ghost's Lair, if the Lair owner permits it. In these situations, the Haunting ghosts are considered citizens or subjects of the Lair, depending on the Lair owner's preference for hierarchical terminology. A ghost that settles a Haunt within another's Lair will find themselves influenced by the Lair owner to better fit into their perception of home. (Think Walker's prison/Pandora's acropolis.)

Outside of another's Lair, a ghost's claim to a Haunt is only limited to how much of that claim the ghost can defend. It is possible for a ghost to have both a Lair and a further Haunt beyond their Lair. Territorial clashes over Haunt-space is common. Haunt-space is only ever shared with fraid-mates. If a Lair is akin to an extension of a person's body, a Haunt is akin to their house. Private, personal, possessed in so much as that space is not beholden to the sovereignty of a Lair-Owner.

Finally, a Nest is exactly as one might guess. The deepest, most personal part of a ghost's Lair or Haunt. The bed and bedroom of wherever a ghost calls home.

Danny Phantom Fandom, what’s the different between a haunt, a lair, and a nest?

Because form what I’ve gathered, a haunt is like, a ghosts territory, what they dictate/protect depending on their obsessions (like Amity for Danny or the prison for Walker)

And a nest is what it sounds like, like your personal space, your house, your bed almost.

And I’ve seen lair been used as both of these descriptions??

*Danny and a Batfam member having a friendly chat at a cafe. They've known each other for a few months now*

Batfam member: "You know, you actually kinda look like B with a few minor differences. Prime adoption bait. Hope you're not another secret love child of his." *laughs*

Danny: *Starts sweating bullets because he is in fact, Bruce's kid but from a different dimension where instead of being a himbo billionaire, he's a himbo ghost hunter named Jack who almost killed him before he got here .* "Haha, you don't say?"

Batfam member: *Clocks in on sudden shift in mood* "Please tell me you're not."

Danny: "So do you want the short and funny story, or the long and sad one? Yes, there's a right answer."

Batfam member: *crying because they can never have a normal sibling*

Danny: Also, do you believe in ghosts?

Batfam member: *cries even more*

It's supposed to be each other's bodies. Now this whole situation is awkward on several accounts.

A husband and wife unexpectedly meet in the same spot, both trying to bury a body

[ailithnight]

So, does Dick mellow out faster since Bruce is doing so much better and there's therefore less tension between them? Or does he spend lomger in his angsty rebellious phase since he's not getting as much Eldest Daughter from picking up Bruce's slack? Do the forces just kind of even out making Dick's character development about the same, if slightly to the left?

Also, does Danny ever figure out the story is reasserting itself? How does that make him feel? Better that he can't fuck anything irrevocably up? Worse that he can't make any truly significant changes to the course of events his family favorite people will have to endure? Nor even his own fate? But Jason is alive! So he can make some pretty meaningful adaptations. He can spare them some suffering, albeit not all.

Does he ever think back to that night at the circus and wonder? Does he ever regret?

Does he ever tell Dick?

Danny Fenton is so damn sick of rich fruit loops. It’s worse now, since he’s one of them.

It’s not Vlad that he’s with, thank the Ancients, but Danny isn’t sure that this is better.

Because he’s Timothy Drake, a baby, and he’s been reincarnated after the Ancient of Reincarnation accidentally drank too much wine.

He’s going to kick their ass so hard when he gets back.

Danny huffs. He rolls over, ignoring the silent manor. Sure, he’s read the comics. Sure, he laughed and imagined being adopted by Batman- come on, Danny had black hair and blue eyes even back then, he was totally adoption bait- when his parents gave him reason to lose trust in their love. But that’s it, that’s all he thought it was. A day dream, a wish for a universe that didn’t exist.

Danny hadn’t understood the reality of the whole Infinite Realms thing, a place he was now the King of. Batman? Real. Danny? Reincarnated. Hotel? Trivago.

Like, this wasn’t what he meant, dammit.

And now he’s stuck as Timothy Drake, and Ancients, he was starting to see parallels.

——

Danny tried photography. He really did. He wanted to at least stick to the source material. But that’s not who he is. Even with the shiny new brain that memorized, catalogued, and put together clues at the snap of his fingers, but Danny’s never been one to take photos. It’s a respectable art, for sure, but Danny preferred to live in the moment instead of capturing it to remember forever. It’s just-

He watched the Graysons fall. He watched Dick Grayson turn into Robin. And Danny can’t and won’t ever betray his Obsession like that, ever again. He can’t let Jason die for his “story” to begin. That’s not how Danny works.

He’s there to protect.

Danny hasn’t ever been just Tim. Danny was also Tim and the Ghost King without a haunt. But now? Gotham is his haunt. He, in lieu of an actual city spirit, is Gotham. He’s also a Drake. And Drakes were meant to hoard.

Batman and Robin? They are his.

He claimed them, as a Drake. But that claim is weak. So he claimed them as their city, and that is a claim that will never be able to be challenged.

Danny’ll be damned before he allows some lanky starved clown beat the life out of one of his Robins. So, for the first time in his nine years on this planet, Tim-Danny goes ghost and flies.

“Who- who. Are you?” Robin slurred from his place in Danny’s hold. He is broken, yes. But not dead. Danny infuses some of his vitality, his ecto, into Jason’s injuries to help them heal.

“Gotham.” Danny replied, layering his ghostly voice with those of the city.

“Goth’m?”

“Gotham. Sleep, little bird. Your city has got you.”

When Robin, Jason, settled with a sense of trust that tugs at Danny’s core, Danny carried him to Batman, whose eyes were wild and manic. He glared menacingly at the green and white ghost in front of him, who was holding his broken and beaten son-

Well, it’d be menacing if Danny hadn’t watched him eat bricks and mortar, crashing into a building while using his grappling gun.

“You-”

“I am Gotham.” Danny cut him off. Despite his wary nature and natural paranoia, Batman settled at his city’s gaze rested on him. Danny knew that Batman recognized his city. Batman’s head bowed, but his eyes stayed on Robin. “You were supposed to take care of Robin.”

“I- I know.” And that voice was all Bruce Wayne the Dad instead of Batman the Vigilante. Danny gently placed Robin in Batman’s arms, taking in the tremors as he held his son close.

“Go back, Bruce. And make sure Jason knows how much you love him.”

He laughed as Bruce whipped his head upwards. “I am your city. You are mine as much as I am yours. I’ve known of you before you were born.”

Technically? Not untrue. But Bruce will chalk it up to weird magic shit. It’s not like it’s a secret that Gotham’s kind of curse. Besides, this way, Danny will be able to help out more often. And Bruce won’t be able to connect Tim Drake to the “Spirit of Gotham.”

“Return, my knight. This is not your city. I can not protect you as well as I can in Gotham.”

“Thank you… Gotham.”

Danny sighed. He wondered when he’ll have to field questions from a John Constantine. He’s pretty sure Bruce will call in magical help, even if it was his own city he was investigating.

Batman’s lucky Danny liked him enough to allow it.

Damian: I... may have stalked my favorite Youtuber...

Most of the Batfam: Damian, wtf?

Tim, nodding: Reasonable.

Most of the Batfam: Tim, wtf?

Tim: I stalked both previous Robins.

Damian, aghast: I have something in common with Drake. Slay me where I stand, this is unacceptable.

Damian has a favorite Youtuber, her channel name is 'Sam's Cooking Now STFU', and she specializes in Vegan Recipes.

He loves all her dishes, and Alfred is very happy to create them alongside Damian.

But Damian starts to notice concerning things.

A bruise on her wrist. A brace on one ankle. One time a straight up split lip. Eyes nervously darting to the side, looking out the window.

The hallmarks of someone imprisoned.

Damian is already trying to find her location, already had to ask Tim and Barbara for help because of the insane firewalls, when he sees something.

The camera angle is a little bit different, showing off the window as Sam cooks.

There's a hero outside the window.

Just a flash, but that's definitely a hero suit and a logo.

Heroes generally have one main city they stick with. If he can find that hero, he can find Sam's city.

[ailithnight]

Y'know those tropes where Danny will spontaneously develop new powers because he's a baby ghost and his core is still developing so he can just randomly get whatever powers his core thinks he needs?

Yeh, so Danny explains he only gets to choose his shape-shift once and that's exactly the power that develops. Or perhaps it didn't develop, but is instead an expansion of the form changing ability Danny already has to swap between Phantom and Fenton.

Like, the first time he shifts into a new form, he develops this mental image of how that new form should look. But after that first time, the new form is "set". He can still change in and out of it, he just can't change the appearance any more.

Now, obviously this doesn't actually affect his human form since that form was set before this. But when Danny meets his first alien and gets really excited, his baby core in his toddler body responds to a subconscious desire to 'be like them' and would you look at that! Apparently mostly-kryptonian clones are different enough from humans to trigger the choice again. Hopefully Superman doesn't get too weirded out by yet another kid running around with his face.

The Jokes of the Ghost:

While de-aged, Danny stumbles into the Joker's hideout. Nothing special; it's a Clown. Well, Danny can prank him! The spirits around him all told him what they wanted to do to this clown. But no death, they don't want his ghost near Gotham, but very far away.

So Danny was causing harm with playful ghostly antics that turned the Joker's plans into comedy. Danny played pranks on the poor Joker for already one month. The Joker can't even leave the room without getting a bowling ball in his balls or a stumple to fall on his face. The money he stole is gone, the food he eats is rotten, or worse, his car is frozen solid, or his weapons are fake guns.

Much to the amusement of Gotham.

Then, one day, an angry joker and the police see who gave him all the problems. It was a meta! Dressed in a Bat Onesie.

[ailithnight]

Danny refuses to become Dan. He won't. He can't. He promised. He will never let himself break that way.

But there are plenty of other ways to break. Safer ways to break.

Because the breaking is inevitable. Being denied his Obsession like this, either his mind or his core is going to fracture. John- his Owner doesn't want him dead. Doesn't want his core to shatter. So it won't. Because his Owner doesn't will that.

And doesn't that just burn? Knowing that, despite this bind, John does care. He just... thinks Danny needs to be controlled. Collared, leashed, subdued, tamed. His Owner is not like his parents or the GIW. He doesn't think all ghosts should be destroyed. Apparently doesn't even think all ghosts need to be... handled... like this. If he was worried about all ghosts, he would have done more. No, for some reason just Phantom needed to be collared.

Danny doesn't understand why; but somehow, despite the heavy weight around his throat, Danny still trusts John- his Owner. Maybe it's the spell? Does it matter if it's the spell? No, not really. It's not like Danny has a choice anyway. Phantom is Owned now.

Phantom is Owned now.

So what use is Danny anymore?

None. Danny doesn't need to be here. Danny doesn't want to be here. His Owner will handle Phantom. Danny can let his mind just, slip away. That happened before, he thinks. In the hazy red memories. It protected him then, when the Ringmaster demanded things that grated on Danny's Obsession like this. The red haze back then made it stop hurting. It protected him. This haze is golden, but hopefully it will protect him too.

Somewhere, deep in his splintering psyche is a voice that sounds like Jazz telling him that this is wrong. This is Breaking. But it feels like a safe kind of Breaking. The kind where no one else needs to hurt.

It feels like peace.

It feels like slipping into dreams after a hard fight, pain bleeding away as a gentle darkness swallows him.

Danny is going to Break anyway. So why not like this?

Danny embraces the golden haze and let's his mind drift away.

.

John knows the moment it changes. He knows he's fucked it all up again when the spell binding Phantom to him, a light loop of magic twisted around his wrist, suddenly freezes and settles into an icy strap. Everything in him wants to abandon the fight to go check on his the kid. But his teammates need him. And something tells him it won't make a difference now. It's too late. His The kid Submitted.

The Justice League Dark is under some...misinformation. Now John feels like a berk.

JLD had been operating under the assumption that Phantom was an Ancient, a being very close to being a god. When they heard that Amity had been straight up dragged into the Infinite Realms, and that Phantom had defeated Pariah Dark, to them that meant that Phantom had allowed it to happen in the first place for an excuse to attack Pariah.

Because Realm's Ghosts are notoriously territorial, and always itching for a fight.

So John Constantine agreed to summon the little tosser, and put a caveat into the summoning circle that bound Phantom to his will.

John had already pissed off multiple demons, why not add a Realm's Ancient to the list?

Then they summon Danny, in human form.

John very, very quickly realizes that this kid is Phantom. He also very, very quickly realizes that this is a actual teenager, and not an Ancient. A teenager who is so scared he's shaking, and paler than his Ghost form.

And he just enslaved said scared teen, who has no idea who John is or what is happening. From the looks of it, the kid didn't even realize he could be summoned.

John mentally scrambles. Old plan bad, need new one now.

"Just realized you don't have a mentor, kid," he hears himself say, and wants to stop talking immediately but can't because he's gotta make it up to the kid somehow. "Figured I'd take that spot. Bond I just slapped on ya means that if you're in trouble, I'll know. If I'm in trouble, you'll know. That way the whole 'Pariah Dark' thing doesn't happen again, yeah?"

The kid seems to buy it, and Zatanna is staring at him in disbelief.

But it's fine; if she keeps her mouth shut and doesn't say anything, the kid'll never know, because John has zero intention to use the binding the way he wrote it down.

[ailithnight]

Danny hearing the Joker is causing problems again: ΦwΦ Bestie Klarion! How would you like a one day pass into Gotham?

He broke through to the surface, taking large desperate gasps of air before getting sucked back beneath by the current. Danny fought against the water as hard as his little paws would allow.

Just when he felt all hope was lost and he was sinking, a large hand enveloped his entire body and hefted him back into the open air. Shivering and coughing out water he didn't catch whatever the man had said. He continued shivering violently as the guy wrung out Dannys fur.

The mans hands were warm despite the brown leather gloves covering them. They made Danny feel comforted and energized almost as if the man had...oh gods! He did! The man had ecto inside of him! Thank the ancients! Now he just had to stick with glove guy and he could recharge! It would be slow but still!

"Here we are little guy." The man said and Danny noticed all at once that the man had been walking the whole time Danny had been stuck in his head. He looked around and noticed the Animal Shelter sign in front of them.

No. No! Danny needed to stick to this guy if he ever hoped to become a human again. But despite how he dug his claws into the flesh of the mans exposed arm and yowled the man in the red mask managed to get him lose and left him in the care of an animal social worker.

Danny was checked out and placed in the tiny jail cell alongside other kittens and cats, many who were scared, miserable or just desperate for love and attention. This of course meant he needed to plot a jail break. Fortunately, he could still used most of his powers but without any ecto around he would have no way to recharge them outside of food or indulging in his obsession.

Needless to say Jason was a little startled when he woke up the next day to not one, but five little kittens meowing at him for food. He swears the one sitting smugly on his chest is the same one he dropped off at the animal shelter yesterday, but that couldn't be right...

One call confirmed it. All of thier animals had escaped last night and there was a suspiciously animal sized arch taken out of the wall with an unknown tool. Demon brat would be delighted at the news.

Unfortunately for Hood the smug little black cat he rescued yesterday had decided that his shoulder was the perfect perch and stayed there more often than not. Little guy got into food often but refused to eat kibble and any attempt to get the kitten away from the mashed potatoes resulted in violence or density shifting to get back to the food.

At this point danny almost didn't care if he returned to being human so long as he got to eat more of his humans cooking. He swears Jason is magical because everything he makes tastes amazing

[ailithnight]

I mean, I just didn't know it was supposed to be 'a' at first. I had always seen the name spelled Damien (like, IRL, before fandom), so I just assumed that was the correct spelling and moved on.

I was the same way with Shawn/Sean. I knew a Sean before I knew a Shawn and didn't know until near adulthood that Sean was the less common spelling.

I'm genuinely curious why do people spell Damian Wayne as Damien Wayne?

[ailithnight]

I love each of the bats individually learning the truth about Mischief and each one deciding "Nah, I don't need to tell any of the others about this."

I think it's even better if it's not even really intentional. They are just that bad at communicating. Plus, their lives are so weird already, they just kind of shrug it off. It's barely a footnote's footnote in everything else they've got going on.
