Sleepy King

The Justice League Dark caught wind of a cult trying to summon the Ghost King. A being with power so terrible and great, that all of the chaotic Infinite Realms feared him. A true tyrant. Long ago it took the effort of ghosts equal to gods to seal him away into a permeant slumber.

And now this cult wishes to wake him and bring him to the living realm. It was a race against the clock to find the ritual site and all members were called on board, magic or not. Even Constantine looked stressed.

They did find the site.

But it was too late, the ritual was completed. The entire inner circle of runes glowed before being swallowed in a column of green light. The air filled with static and a ringing that made Supergirl crumble to the ground.

The light dissipated, but there was no great figure or being of pure evil. Instead there was a boy, a teenager. He laid on the ground curled up in his sleep. He was a ghost no doubt, dressed in regal clothing.

Despite this when he stirred, everyone froze. It seemed the cold hard ground woke him up. He got up slowly and yawned, revealing his sharp fangs. Once sat up he opened his bleary eyes to look around. He looked confused and tired, really tired.

"Where am I?" He mumbled. "I was trying to get some sleep." Constantine internally screaming, latches onto that last sentence. He glances over to Batman. He caught that last part too. Batman approaches calmly and crouches down in front of the boy king. Hardening his resolve, Batman takes on a gentle tone.

"Hey kiddo, sorry we woke you. Lets get you back to bed yeah?" The boy nodded in agreement. He pulled himself to his feet before looking around in a circle. "Where did my blanket go?" He asked rather sadly. Batman is quick to shed his own cape and drape it over him. "You can borrow my cape until we get you a new one." He nodded again, pulling the black fabric around himself.

John quickly summoned a portal door, while Batman led the King through it. John threw looks around at everyone. Everyone could tell he was mouthing the words. 'Find me a fucking blanket now'

Running on the logic of getting the king away from Earth, away from graves and the undead, that could give him power. The portal led to the Watch Tower.

Batman took advantage of the King's bleary state to send a base wide alert for all noncritical members to evacuate immediately. With a priority that death adjacent members leave first. "The stars are pretty." Bruce looked at the boy staring out the window in wonder. He almost looked like a normal kid, almost.

"Yeah they are, it's pretty late so we should get you back to bed." He nodded, going along with Batman's gentle coaxing.

He takes the boy to an unused bedroom. Making sure the room isn't dusty and that lights are dimmed. He glances back to see about a dozen different leaguers all holding blankets, one thought to bring extra pillows. The bed was pretty barren with only a single pillow and a thin bedsheet. So Bruce took a thick duvet, one of the fluffier blankets and a second pillow from his team before shooing them away.

The boy ended up keeping his cape, mumbling how it was warm. He tucked the boy in, before quietly exiting the room and turning off the light. He was pretty sure the King fell back to sleep before he even reached the light switch.

After the door shut, he made direct eye contact with John. "Constantine." They needed to figure out what the hell was going on.

I’m instantly sold someone please find this

I could have sworn I read this fic summary but I can't fiiiind it, so I'm just putting this in the tags, if you know it please help me out 😭

It was a Danny Phantom x DCU crossover

Basically Danny as the ghost king was going through the contracts people had made with various entities and approving them. (There was a mention of how Constantine sold his soul multiple times and was gonna be a pain in the ass to sort out)

And he came across one with the request of "saving Bruce Wayne". (I think it specifcally said saving him from having fallen into a dimensional portal/other universe? maybe implied he was in the ghost zone?)

The request came from one of his kids, but I don't remeber who, just that it only showed real names not vigilante identities, so Danny was like "LMAO how did this Gotham playboy fall through a dimensional portal and who is selling their soul to get him back?" And he signed off on it

I thought I saw it on AO3 but I didn't click on it then and I feel like I've searched every word or phrase I remember and gone through so many tags and still can't find it 😭 I've looked on tumblr too but if it's here the search function is too useless to find it

I would also like to see this prompt.

Can someone help me find this prompt:

Danny goes to college in Gotham because other ones think he's cursed despite getting good marks and not causing trouble.

Danny has opened his eyes to the ghost zone like a new baby opening their eyes to the world.

Also, Constantine is following him, and Gotham people consider Danny their new Cryptid.

Well if you insist! :>

There was a loud knocking on the door, Ivy only knew one man that knocked that loudly. Jack was known to show up at random but he never came over unannounced during the night. Least of all at four in the morning. Maybe he had a new idea he wanted to share and was too excited to wait.

"Who's at the door?" Harley called out. "Probably Jack," Ivy said walking to the door. She looked through the peephole and sure enough Jack's tall stature filled most of the view. She didn't recognize that orange jacket though.

She opened the door expecting to see Jack's face radiating with excitement, ready to blab on about a new potential project. But... He was just standing with the most serious expression she's ever seen on him. It felt wrong. "Jack, what is it?" Ivy didn't bother to hide her concern.

That wasn't an orange jacket he was wearing, it was a full body suit. A hazmat suit. "Ivy I have a favor to ask of you." His kids were here, standing behind Jack nearly out of Ivy's view. Why were they here?

Why did they look so scared? The boy, Danny was pressed up against his older sister hugging her arm. Ivy nodded for Jack to continue. "My ex-wife managed to track us down. Can you watch my kids for me? I can't risk her getting near them." His ex... It's the first time Jack has mentioned her. Of course the Rouges found out he was once married. It was Harley who noticed the tan line on his ring finger, and the way he spoke left most inferring Jack's marriage didn't end well.

Most people don't move to Gotham for good or happy reasons.

"Of course, Harley and I will keep them safe." Ivy barely finished talking before getting pulled into a bone crushing hug. "Thank you." His voice was soft and Ivy was half convinced he would start crying.

He then hugged his kids with the same bone crushing strength before passing them over to Ivy. "Be good for Aunty Ivy and Harley, I'll call you when I can come get you." Ivy led them inside, but not before glancing back at Jack.

He looked grim with an underlying anger. But it was fueled by a look of pure determination. The same determination he had when debating theories, when he'd encourage Riddler to get back into game developing, when he helped Victor Fries build his lab equipment, when he'd wrestle ManBat down until he turned back so he wouldn't hurt anyone.

This time Jack was protecting his kids.

He pulled something out of his pocket as he walked away. An odd looking gun handle. A moment later the thing expanded, within it second turned into a giant bazooka. The likes of which you'd see in a sci-fi movie.

Harley looked up happy but confused when she saw Ivy return with Jack's kids but no Jack. "Jack asked us to watch his kids for a little." Ivy explained before turning back to them. "Hey why don't you go sit down, me and Harley will make you some hot cocoa."

Through the process, Ivy quietly told Harley what happened. "I'm going to call Babs." Harley nodded, "I'll keep the kiddos occupied."

While Harley carried the mugs walking over to them, Ivy went to their bedroom closing the door behind her.

"Oracle? Something is going down with Jack."

"He said his ex found them, he's planning on confronting her. He asked me to keep his kids safe."

Dp x DC Jack is single AU

I just want you to imagine a reveal where Jack takes it well and Maddie doesn’t, resulting in a divorce and Jack getting custody

Then the kids grow up. A couple years pass, Jazz visits on holidays, calls once a week to check in, Danny just went off to college

So what we have is Jack Fenton, divorced empty nester now with way to much time on his hands

So he starts going out to meet people

The problem? He ends up in a rogues bar in Gotham and is oblivious to the fact he’s meeting/flirting with supervillains

And Jack is happy as a clam! He’s meeting all these interesting people with PhDs! He has a PhD!

I magine if Danny had to show up to one family meeting/dinner a year and it’s pretty okay going.

Ra’s knows he went through some sort of accident because the boy’s hands were way too cold to be normal. But it seems fine and he doesn’t feel the need to probe further.

The Next year Danny shows up with Dani with absolutely no warning. Just “Hey so I got cloned, her name right now is Dani with an ‘i’ thought I’d introduce her to the family.” Everyone’s head twists over like what the hell Danny you were supposed to be the normal one!

Ra’s on the other hand is pissed who cloned his grandson! The audacity! “Danny, my grandson. Who cloned you?” He asks as calmly as he can while bending his fork in half. “This creep Vlad, he wanted to make a replacement for me since I wanted nothing to do with him. But he didn’t realize I was trans so Dani was the only one stable enough to survive.”

“I wish to learn more about this ‘Vlad’ later Danyal. But for now let us enjoy this dinner.” Ra’s glances at Damien tied up in one of the chairs. Talia kidnapped him solely for the family dinner. “Do you have any new siblings I should know about?”

Later: “So this Vlad masters has been bothering you and your adoptive family for a while.”

“It was mostly childish annoyances that I could handle myself. But recently he has been trying to insert himself into my life in whatever way he can as mayor and godfather.”

“I see I will see to it that he is taken care of grandson.”

“If I give you something that can kill him, do you promise to be discrete?”

“Of course! Who do you take me for?”

Dick: so you're Damian's other cousin, Mara's older brother, right?

Danny Fenton: yup, that's me.

Tim: not to be rude or anything but how come Damian's the heir and you're not? You're like a whole five years older than him.

Danny: kinda the same reason my father, Dasun, isn't the heir. I was born with a defect.

Dick: may we ask what defect?

Danny: oh I'm trans, grandfather immediately accepted that I'm a guy now, but he called it a defect that I was born in the wrong body so I'm not the heir.

Jason: that is oddly supportive of him, but still awful of him to say that you're defective of it.

Danny: yeah Grandfather is weird like that, he once said that me being in one of friends' band was foolish but still showed up to one of our bigger concerts.

Dick: why is he a more supportive grandfather to you than he ever was to your sister and Damian?

Danny: oh that's because when Aunt Taila was pregnant with Damian I decided I didn't want to be an assassin and because I'm the child of his least favorite kid I was allowed to go as long as I sent letters every now and then to show that I'm still alive.

[is-not-a-bell]

“John why didn’t you say anything? We could have helped you more.”

Wonder Woman nods in agreement.

John now has to figure out to to tell this demigodess about how he made a deal with her Grandpa who ate all her uncles and aunts. And how this kid absolutely related in some way to that dead titan.

And fuck does the kid look like him. Was that a consequence of carrying him? And it’s only going to make them assume he had a kid with the ghost of Kronos.

Needless to say he needs to find a babysitter since yesterday so he can go drink enough to kill a horse.

Not Batman though, he’d never get the kid back from the man.

Constantine makes a deal with the Spirit of Kronos.

In return for all contracts he has made regarding his soul being voided, and for Kronos himself to be John's Patron, he has to take a ghost core into himself and nurture it until it's independent.

Easy.

Infinite Realms beings are fiercely independent, and he estimates that one year of hosting and three months of looking after is nothing compared to the headache that he was going to have to go through to get those contracts voided.

The Spirit of Kronos assures him that this task will be on par, and that the payment for doing this is actually equal. He'll have to be sober, not a single drop of liquor or booze, not a single cigarette, for the entire duration.

Which. Okay, yeah, that sounds a little difficult.

So John accepts, expecting this to be kinda hard. But it's not.

The Core he houses is barely noticeable. Barely there. It takes a lot of magic, and eats a lot of ecto, and he's starting to realize that this core may have been severely damaged. This may be more than a year of hosting.

Then it starts to effect him.

He gets cravings, he's a little more emotional due to Realms Spirits being based on emotions, he sleeps more because of the little core leeching off of his magic reserves.

Other heroes start to notice.

He starts getting left out of missions, JLD and JL both checking in on him periodically. They don't know, but they know something is up.

Then he feels it one and a half years after accepting the deal; the tiny core is finally ready to come into the world. Soon, so soon, he'll be able to drink and smoke again, worry free.

The tiny ghost materializes in front of him - and John lunges forward to catch it before it falls to the floor.

Because that's not a ghost.

That's a human baby.

A green sticky note pops onto the kids forehead, and John realizes he may have just been bamboozled.

'His name is Daniel, and the deal stands until he is legally able to be independent per American Law. I look forward to our partnership.

CW'

continuation/aftermath of danny pulling nightwing out of a dumpster

don't let danny fool you with his innocent geek act. that's a working ectogun that he made to look like a phaser. he's absolutely a geek but he's not innocent

Great way to start the new year!

[is-not-a-bell]

This would go really well with snake Danny. After a few few or tries to pry Danny of Constantine, he goes snake mode and coils around him. Not to point of squeezing the life out of him but it makes it a whole lot harder for John to move. Danny hisses again at Hal when he takes a step towards them.

"Okay stop trying, you're making it worse!" John grumbled, looking absolutely done with the situation.

"Sorry... can you continue about the anti-ecto acts?" Superman said trying to steer back to the topic.

John continues on about the issue, sometimes the teen when mumble something to John. What he said made John look more and more tense as he adds the boy's tidbits to his rants. Which make the situation sound worse. After Constantine finished debriefing Danny -who had finally told them his name- pointed out a neon green sticky note one superman's back. When did that get there?

"It's from CW he gives me notes sometimes" He explained while John snatched up the note and scanned it. "CW- Do you mean Clockwork!? How do you know the ancient of time!" Danny shrugged "Bad timeline"

"What does the note say?" Diana asked after hearing ancient of time. John handed her the note and turned away. "I gotta go see something. Be right back"

Before anyone could argue John was already gone. A few leaguers huffed in annoyance while other read the note.

'The house of mystery will have a few helpful texts for your halfa: The Infinite Realms Beings, Ghostly Etiquette, and

And as a personal gift two books from the future: Halfa Existence vol. 1, Halfa Existence vol. 2 how to care for your half ghostling child

-ClockWork'

*hisssss* My comfort human!

Nightwing stared, he turned his head staring at Zatanna in a way that clearly spelled the question: Are you seeing what I am seeing?

Zatanna only gave him a shrug with a smile before focusing back on the meeting, leaving Nightwing to turn back and stare. He wasn't the only hero in the room with that reaction. There were a couple others too that reacted similarly. Only Batman appeared to be able to hold his pokerface.

Right before them was Constantine trying to explain to them all how their goverment basically fucked them over, while a 'ghost' teen was clinging to the man's shoulders glaring and hissing at them all. Worst of all Constantine was acting like the kid wasn't even there. Like there was no a white haired, black and white dressed teen hugging the man around his shoulders while glaring at them with glowing Lazarus green eyes.

"Uhm John? What's with the kid?" Green Lantern finally asked interrupting another one of the magicans rants about how screwed they were to which the Brite only glared at the hero.

"Ignore him."

"But..."

"IGNORE him."

"Maybe we should remove the child from this meeting before we continue?" Superman offered good naturally and Constantine looked pretty much done with them all, Nightwing noted. The blond waved with his hand as if telling them to 'go on try it'.

The heroes exchanged glances. Before Superman moved forward reaching out to remove the teen....

...and promptly got bitten. Nightwings eyes widened as he noticed the teen actually broke kryptonian skin!

The teen then proceeded to hiss at them while clutching onto Constantine protectively. The magican only let out a suffering sigh and muttered something about never touching a core again.

"My comfort human! Get your own!"

Lex told him what a dilf was. Moon-Moon was excited to share his newly gained knowledge

[Everyone disliked that]

Okay we always have Danny being a cryptid in Gotham...

But what if we have eldritch Danny being a cryptid in Metropolis? And everyone in Metropolis is normal about it, it's the out of towners who have trouble with their "little" jellyfish/dragon/bird/skeleton cryptid, that the locals have named Moon-Moon caue sometimes the darling means well..

But well Moon-Moon is a bit of an idiotic genius.

And when I say everyone in Metropolis is normal about their local Cryptid, I'm including the Super Family. Cause that adds and even more hilarious edge to it.

Puki will you leave tumblr because everyone’s acting like it’s dead now :(

oh yeah its SO dead.

1000 notes this post. Now

[is-not-a-bell]

Danny's mind was racing as he approached the hidden lab. He was so close and yet he found it hard to keep moving. When his legs were too rigid to walk he forced himself forward by floating. He- he was right outside the man's lab. His father The growing cold was freezing by now, it felt pure relief.

Danny let his feet touch the ground again and for his invisibility to wash away. He made sure his foot steps were loud enough to be heard. Mr. Freeze was already staring at him when he entered, freeze ray in hand. "Who are you? Why are you here." He demanded. Danny raised his hands in surrender. "My name is Danny Fenton, four... four years ago I was diagnosed with Huntingtons disease."

That gave the man pause, and a mount to inspect the boy. He seemed completely unaffected by the cold. Pale skin completely not flushed, no sign of frosted breath and he wasn't shaking from the cold at all. What was this boy, a meta?

The back of his mind screamed about a boy, still just a baby. When Victor's work and Nora's illness became too much and he sent Daniel to live with relatives as temporary guardians. It was better for him to live people who could care for him, as much as it pained Victor and Nora. Then things went downhill and temporary turned to permanent. Victor was in Arkham when he learned that Daniel was put into the foster system and he didn't hear anything else since.

Victor was brought back to the present when Danny spoke up. "I dug up old files about me being taken by cps. From relatives of your's who were my temporary guardians." He was shifting nervously, looking to the ground. "I- I was hoping you'd let me join you."

"I've been doing my own research and my friend's grandmother promised to help funding but she's not a billionaire." Victor started walking to Danny. "I'm pretty good with engineering too, I can help you make equipment you need." He trailed off his rambling as the man stopped in front of him. Victor pulled him into a hug. "I'm so sorry" He said and Danny's heart clenched at those words. With tears threatening to spill, Danny hugged him back. "You couldn't have known."

Danny is the son of Mr Freeze

So! Danny was adopted as a Kid.

It was never really that big of a thing to him, just a small footnote in his life. He never really cared about finding his Bio Family, or even looking into it at all. His new Family was enough for him, no need to complicate it all that much.

But then, the Accident happened.

After he got shocked by the Portal and passed out, his parents had rushed him to the hospital. Apparently his Heart had been pulsing irregularly, so they had decided to not take any chances.

While at the Hospital, the Doctors noticed a particularly strange result in his blood tests. So, a few months after he had been discharged (it took a while for the blood work to come back), they asked him to come back in for further testing.

At first, Danny was scared that they had found out about his Powers. But when he walked into the Room, they had other news.

He had been diagnosed with Huntingtons Disease, a rare neurological condition that apparently had no known cure. The only possible way to contract the Disease was to have inherited it from one of his parents.

They said it was in its early stages at the moment, but as time passed he would become weaker and weaker, and he would become more sickly. They diagnosed that he had just over 5 years left before he died, and there were no treatments or cures that could save him.

Danny got a second opinion with Frostbite, since he knew more about Ghost Biology and might know if it was truly a fatal Disease for a Halfa.

And yeah, it was. No matter how much of him is Ghostly, he is still half Human, and the Human Disease in his body can and will kill him. And there's no guarantee that he will become a full Ghost upon death. For all he knows it will just End him.

So, Danny had a time limit to find a way to cure himself. He didn't have much time to study, what with the constant Ghost Attacks, his School Work, and keeping his parents from attacking innocent Ghosts, but he managed where he could.

Speaking of his parents, they had been looking into the disease as well. But they seemed convinced that they could find a way to save him by simply dissecting a Ghost to study its biology. (It was as if this was just a convenient excuse to dive deeper into their obsession)

After a while, he mamaged to resolve the Ghost Attack stuff and got his grades under control, but he was still making little progress on finding a Cure.

So, he looked into other people who might be studying the same Disease, to see if he could look I to their research. But that search came up empty.

There was nobody who wanted to fund research into such a rare disease, so nobody was studying it. There was one man who was studying it, but he was a convicted Supervillain. Danny decided that he would be his backup plan, since he wasn't sure how Jazz would react if he teamed up with a known Villain.

He just kept on studying his condition.

...

It had been about 4 years since his initial diagnosis, and Danny was 18. And he needed help.

He had made no progress in developing a Cure, and his condition had worsened. He could barely walk without a limp anymore, and his limbs felt weaker by the day.

He did manage to get some luck when he found out that lowering his Body Temperature would slow the progress of the Disease. He was never more thankful for his Ice Powers than on the day he figured that out.

But he had hit a roadblock. He needed help, and unfortunately there was only one place he could go to get it. The Supervillain he had read about all that time ago, Mr Freeze.

Now he was headed to Gotham City to seek his help, even if it meant becoming a Villlain himself.
