Hey can anyone help me win (or lose) a bet?

Me and @erodiumsmnemic are trying to figure out which fandom has the most horrific fanworks between MLP and Danny Phantom

Anything goes body horror, psychological horror, etc

I know DP has a lot of dissection fics and human expirimentation. I normally avoid those stories but now I need them to win a bet. (Or lose it is MLP is worse/more horrific)

Wes ruins everything

Wes had finally done it, he had finally realized why nobody ever belived him about Fenton and Phantom! It made so much sense now, he had been looking for an answer for years, thinking he was going crazy because everybody refused to see the Obvious!

He was Cursed!

He literally had an Ancestoral Curse on his Bloodline that made it so that all those born with the gift of Prophecy would be ignored! A Gift of Prophecy that he apparently had.

It was Cassandra's Curse, the one from Greek Myths. Apparently she was his Great×1000 Grandmother and passed down the Gift (and Curse) of Prophecy to him. And he knew how to break it!

All he needed to do was gather the right resources, chant the correct incantations, make sure not to accidentally summon a Demon in the process, and he could just foist the Curse onto some other poor schmuck. Sure it would suck for them, and he would loose his Gift of Prophecy, but Wes had been ignored for Years at this point, he needed validation!

So he did the Ritual, and he didn't mess it up, and he managed to get rid of the Curse.

Now all he had to do was convince everybody that he was right for the first time in his life! This was going to be great!

...

Cass didn't know what was going on.

A while ago, she had started getting these...gut feelings that she couldn't explain.

She would look over the details of a Case her Family was working on, and see a patern that the others were seemingly ignoring. Like when she realized that The Penguin was about to raid the Docks on the East Side, but the others were convinced it was going to be on the West.

But when she had tried to tell them, they had brushed her off. "We've already concluded that he will begin the Raid on the West side, no need to go to the East."

She had gone anyways, and low and behold she had been right. But nobody even acknowledged that she had been right at all, they had just wondered how they had missed the signs, not even questioning how she had known.

It wasn't limited to Cases either. Even small things, like telling her brother's where the TV remote was were brushed off, and hours later they would still be looking, never even having checked where she told them.

It seemed that no matter what, nobody cared about her point of view anymore. They kept brushing her off, telling her she was wrong, actively ignoring her ideas.

And it was getting worse. They were starting to ignore her more and more, forgetting she was in the room, not calling her down for Dinner, even forgetting to check in on her during Patrol.

She knew that there must be something going on, Magical or otherwise, but when she tried bringing it up with her Dad or JLD, they would also Brush her off.

Her Family was forgetting her. And they didn't even realize it.

...

Danny was not okay at the moment.

When he had gone to school a few weeks ago and noticed everybody staring at him, he didn't give it much thought. Maybe Dash or Paulina had spread another Rumor about him again, not too out of the ordinary.

When his name had been called over the Intercom, he hadn't thought much of that either. His grades were falling even more than usual, so he assumed his Guidance Counselor wanted to have another talk with him.

When he walked into the Principals Office to see both of his Parents and some GIW Agents, that's when he realized something big must have happened.

He didn't have much of a chance to react when the Shields went up, but he did react when the first Ecto-Blast scorched the wall behind him. His Parents began to scream at him as they fired their Blasters, something about replacing somebody? He didn't know, he was pretty preoccupied at the moment.

It took more effort than he cared to admit to escape the Room, but a stray shot to the hidden Shield Projector under the Principals Desk proved to be his saving grace. Unfortunately the moment he escaped the Office, he was met with a veritable Army of GIW Agents, all armed to the Teeth with Weapons he had never even seen before.

He managed to get away for a moment, hiding in the Bathroom as the Agents chasing him passed it by. That's when he met Wes.

He obviously hadn't been expecting him, but the moment he saw him Wes put on a smug look. "Oh hi Fenton, trying to get away from the other students?"

Danny had replied with confusion, "What the hell are you talking about?!"

"I finally managed to convince everybody about you, now everyone knows that you're Phantom! I'll bet you're hiding from all of the other Students hounding you for questions right?"

"...it was you?"

"Yeah, so? I finally get to be right!"

"...You absolute MORON-"

That was the last Danny got to say to Wes before an Ecto-Blast launched him through a Wall, seeing his face morph into a look of Shock just before the dust cloud covered it up.

Since that day, Danny had been on the Run. Nowhere was safe anymore now that the GIW knew both his Human and Ghost's faces, but he had to keep running. He crossed state Lines already, and was on his way to the next Ecto-Rich City he could sense, somewhere in New Jersey.

He cursed his Fenton Luck every day. Why had everybody believed Wes this time?! Nobody had ever belived him before, nobody even seemed to acknowledge his existence after a while! What had changed?

Danny just wanted to rest already.

...

Cass had taken to Patrolling alone recently. She had taken to doing a lot of things alone, actually.

After the first month, it seemed that nobody could remember that she was in the room with them, even if she was within their eyeline, she just faded into the background. By the 2 Month Mark they had stopped talking to her entirely, although occasionally she would get a Text or two from her dad. By the 3 month Mark she was completely invisible, and By the 5th she had been forced to get used to it.

She didn't know what was going on, was it a Meta Ability? Magic? Alien Tech? She had no idea.

She had begun to cook for herself after the first time Alfred forgot to set her Plate at the Table. The same with Washing her own Clothes, Cleaning her Room, and Paying her Phone Bills. At the very least the Automated Allowance Payments to her Account had kept up, or she wouldn't have been able to go to her favorite Cafe anymore.

It was bittersweet for her. She used to go to that Cafe every week with Alfred, but he didn't even come on his own anymore. Had he only come for her? Did she really mean that much to them? It hurt, she finally had a family that cared for her and suddenly she didn't exist to them.

She sat alone at a Table, ignored by everyone in the Cafe as usual, when a new face walked in. He looked about her age, a little roughed up, walking with a sort of cautious gaint, as if he was scared of something. His Body Language seemed to agree with her assessment, as his body practically screamed "Worry" in its movements.

Cass stopped watching at that point. Just another Gotham Teen, probably worried over something like getting not having enough money or getting mugged on the way home. It was a Common sight in Gotham.

She attention was pricked again for a moment when she heard a voice speak up. "Uh, can I sit here?"

She ignored it, he wasn't talking to her.

"Um, excuse me? Miss? Could I sit here?" He repeated.

She ignored him again, he wasn't talking to her. Nobody talked to her.

"Hello? Do you have Earbuds in?" He said, and he waved his hand in front of her face.

Her face. He waved his hand. In front of Her Face.

He was talking to her.

She looked up at him sharply, seeming to startle him for a moment before he asked, "So, is that a no?"

"You can see me?" She asked.

He looked a bit bewildered, but replied "Uh, yeah? Why would I not? Are you...a Ghost?". That last part sounded a bit suspicious.

"No. Not a Ghost. But nobody sees me. Ever. Nobody remembers me." She replied. She had never spoken this much to anybody outside of her Family, but in the past few weeks she had been starved for interaction.

He seemed slightly interested, and sat down at her table. He looked her in the eyes, and said "Do you...talk about it?"

She smiled. He could see her.

Phantom Guardian

I feel like there's a huge missed opportunity for Danny Phantom to cross over with Rise of the Guardians. Jack Frost and Danny Phantom could be twins separated by centuries (so I guess Jack would be Danny's ancestor). Ghost King Danny could easily be able to see Jack (he is kinda a ghost) and obviously Jack would stick around the one town where he's actually noticed.

There's so much room for interactions; Danny hates Christmas, Pariah Dark and Pitch Black wombo combo, North's yeti vs Far Frozen yeti... I'm just saying the connection is strong.

Imagine the Guardian's try to kidnap Jack at the start of the film, but instead they pick up a different white haired teen with flight and ice powers...

[eternal-watcher]

If it’s a good parents Fenton AU then they would be willing to pseudo adopt Bruce as well. Like obviously not replacing Thomas or Martha (or Alfred) but in the same way Bruce pseudo adopted Babs and Steph.

Actually Bruce probably wouldn’t be very receptive if they tried to be parental to him but they probably at least have a friendly enough relationship. But Jack and Maddie would probably treat the bat kids like their grandkids though

Switched at birth uncle! AU

So Bruce had a little brother, but because of corruption or incompetence at the hospital he was swapped with a baby that had the SIDS or something. The family is distraught and Bruce doesn’t bring it up.

Years later when Jazz is in Gotham interviewing to become the new head of Arkham asylum she runs into a young Damian Wayne. She can’t stop staring at the young copy of her brother (if not for the clear middle eastern roots).

Damian is suspicious of the Psychological that won’t stop staring at him, certain she was another harley in the making he starts researching the Fenton family.

Alfred finds him in the bat cave and nearly has a heart attack at a picture of someone who looks remarkably like a young Thomas Wayne. Together the two investigate.

Cue gala shenanigans where both Damian alfred try to steal some dna from Danny.

They get the results that are corrupted by ectoplasm but show a definite genetic match.

This is what Bruce walks in on.

Meanwhile Batman and phantom have worked together many times and while Danny knows Bruce Wayne is Batman, Batman does not know that Phantom is Danny Fenton because who would expect the dead guy to have a secret identity.

So Danny is actively avoiding the Wayne family while Bruce tries to reconnect with his baby brother.

Short DPXDC Prompts #505

Damian had some new imported tea that Alfred ordered. It was a very lovely herbal tea. Or at least as lovely as it could be with blood pouring from his mouth.

Damian falls to the ground, knocking over his teacup to the floor in the process. He clutches his throat while he coughs and gags. It feels like he just poured acid down his lungs. His entire body was burning.

The color of the tea and his blood melded perfectly on the manor floor.

A Thousand Year Murder

Danny joins the Justice league and at some point, accidentally gives the impression he was murdered by letting it slip that ‘no one knew he died’. The Justice league are also under the impression Phantom is thousands of years old. Now they are trying to solve a thousand year old murder mystery to give their friend closure.

DP x DC Prompt: Eternal Teen Phantom Meets Eternal Child Baby Doll

"Mary Louise Dahl, also known as Baby Doll, is an actress born with systemic hypoplasia, a rare condition which kept her from ever growing, meaning that she spent all of her life looking like an adorable little girl." -Batman The Animated Series wiki

Danny, frustrated with how he hasn't aged past 14 despite being in his 20's, leaves Amity Park behind. His lack of aging wasn't a problem for his friends and family, but a man can only be laughed out of so many job interviews. Eventually, his wandering brings him to Gotham.

Mary, still reeling from her disastrous attempt at happiness and newly incarcerated in Arkham, doesn't resist when reporters make her their latest show pony - what a novelty, a washed up actress who hides a Tommy gun in her dolly and looks like a toddler! Her sad mug is plastered across every paper in town for a week, in her jumpsuit and ringlet curls.

Danny sees the papers, and finds in them someone he can relate to. He may have been a hero, and she a villain, but they were both driven to it by circumstance, right?

He writes her a letter. Mary writes one back. They become pen pals. Tentative friends, even.

And then there's a breakout at Arkham. Mary isn't answering Danny's texts, and there are reports of fatalities. Chaos fills the streets.

Phantom goes looking for Baby Doll.

Dc x Dp prompt #1

Danny open a YouTube channel teaching how to cook.

Bonus point : During the live, the food came to life. And he had to fight the food while chats were watching him.

Ellie: wow cool!! So we’re really related?

Bruce: yup. I’m your father.

Ellie: cool!

DP x DC Prompt #13

When Danny decided to move to Central City, he wasn't sure what he was expecting. He just knew he wanted to move somewhere he could be useful.

He had been a vigilante for so long, he wanted to help people a different way. Working at the morgue was a way he could help souls find rest.

Plus, the forensic scientist (chemist?) he got to interact with sometimes was a nice benefit. Now, if he can just figure a way to ask him out and eventually tell him he's technically dead, he'd be set.

[eternal-watcher]

You're just like me.

Mary sat in the visitor center of Gotham, puzzled on the a fact someone wanted to met her.

She knew it wasn't a reporter as they were clearly banned from talking to her after her last meltdown. Twiddling her finger a bit as she hear the buzzing sound of a door opening.

It was a 14 year old preteen wearing casual yet sharp clothes, his long black hair in a low ponytail, freckled scattered on his face like stars and a nervous smile, but his eyes.

His blue dull sleep deprived eyes looked much older than they were, and it made her froze in recognition.

Before she could speak a bit.

"I was told you and I had a similar situation in being young looking." His voice sounded young, yet soft as if testing an inside joke.

"I'm Danny, Danny Fenton, I'm 36 years old, but in appearance to everyone else, I'm just an arkward, just turned 14 year old boy to others." Danny said softly, scratching his cheek with a soft smile.

Mary louise dahl felt a smile bloom back as she introduced herself.

Maybe being born different isn't all so bad afterall.

Danny as a spooky/potentially eldritch Sam Reich is not what I was expecting to see today but I’m all for it.

“I’ve been here the whole time is gonna come across a LOT creepier from a ghost”

Also:

“So Danny where are you from?”

(Loosely inspired by this post and my tired brain wildly misinterpreting the title)

Danny has been the acting king of the infinite realms for about a year, and while he should complain about the sheer number of evil people trying to get him to wipe out humanity, he’s honestly just… so fucking bored. It’s so repetitive, he’s practically following a script. He can’t even be that mad anymore because at a certain point he just expects to be asked for something unbelievably evil, or stupidly mundane, like “kill this superhero” (which he’s not doing) or “make me a god” (which he can’t). All he wants is for a little change to the script— and, one night, he finds inspiration through the form of a YouTube video.

It was easier to set up than he expected. Turns out, Phantom’s Castle— formerly Pariah’s Keep— has a ton of large, empty rooms, perfect for repurposing into a studio. Plus, all of the skeletons were eager for a new task, and took to setting up a tv studio like a ghost fish to ectoplasm. Reworking his summoning spell to have his summoners brought to him instead was a bit trickier, but a few borrowed books on the topic from Ghost Writer (as well as a few promised favors in exchange) made the process pretty painless. He even made sure that none of his summoners would be able to leave the studio, just in case they got a little too curious about the ghost zone. Plus, Danny would be the show’s host. No one in their right mind would try to escape under the watchful eye of the king.

The show was simple: three people who attempted to summon Danny from three different points in time would compete for the chance to make a request of him. The game always changes, so even if a summoner came on the show a second time, they wouldn’t have any advantage over the other contestants. In just a few short months, Ghost Changer became the most popular show in the Infinite Realms.

Hey guys. DCxDP where Danny is tormenting Damian on social media for literally no reason because it’s funny

Danny, Sam and Tucker are scrolling through Bruce Wayne’s Twitter account for whatever reason (trying to find an announcement from the company, trying to find a stupid tweet, etc) and accidentally find a picture of Damian.

Cue everyone freaking out, because they look almost (aside from Damian being a bit darker than Danny) identical.

Even better, Danny is wearing a (much cheaper) near identical version of the outfit that Damian is wearing in the picture.

The group stages a quick picture in the same poses as Damian’s (Tucker, playing Bruce, is on a step stool) and post it in a reply.

They think nothing of it, find whatever they were looking for, and move on.

Except… Danny continues doing it. For months. People start following him on Twitter. The GiW have visited his house twice now because he keeps breaking through the media blackout to post (before being turned away due to lack of warrant).

Damian is not amused (Jon absolutely is, but this isn’t about him). He’s in deep Twitter beef with this random scrawny white boy for responding to every single photo of him with his own poorly done copy. He doesn’t even have an account, but he’s still finding ways to argue with Danny. He’s gone viral for blinking threats to Danny in Morse code during an interview.

The worst part is, this can’t possibly be a clone, so Damian isn’t allowed to attack him physically. Danny is fifteen, three years older than Damian. He’s not related in any way to Ra’s Al Ghul, or anyone who might have cloned Damian before. They just look remarkably alike.

Danny goes viral when, after a clip of Damian fleeing a rogue is posted to twitter, he responds with his own clip of him fleeing a ghost (probably Vlad). It’s clearly a genuine emergency, but Danny still put in the effort to move in the exact same pattern that Damian did (aside from a few quick dodges to avoid ecto blasts).

Damian is enraged.

He’s got to put an end to this somehow.

And so, he steals one of B’s private jets, and takes a quick flight to bumfuck nowhere, Illinois.

Heehoo what if: Green Lantern Corps centric fic; 5+1 themed. 5 times a member finds Danny being a nuisance or causing scenes in their sector/missions vs the time they’re grateful the halfa is there to help them save the day

[eternal-watcher]

I just had the adorable mental image of Danny trying to leave Gotham, but Gotham doesn't want him to leave so she twists him around to face the city again. He turns to try again and gets turned back a second time, it keeps happening and Danny can't stop giggling every time she does it. He really does have to go but the spirit of the city loves him so much its hard to be upset at her

This is the cutest thing I've ever read 🥺💖

Wait does that make Danny the personification of Amity Park in this AU?

Cause if so how crazy would it be if the two cities started folding in on each other because they spend too much time together.

Like an office building from Gotham is now in the middle of amity park's gardens and the Fentons are now suddenly neighbors with the Waynes 🤣💖
