Tell me about your young justice skulduggery pleasant au!
ok so basically it's the skulduggery pleasant world but like with dc characters, so it's not following the events of books just the lore and universe of it, though the war did happen, and theres still like the sanctuary and council of elders and faceless ones, ancients, etc. its just adapted for my wants because this is my au.
the justice league were all present for the war and they all fought in it and stuff, they're all like super powerful and stuff
the council of elders is comprised of Wonder Woman, Superman, and Batman
idk who the grand mage is quite yet
for like specifically young justice stuff I've only really figured out their like magic and a bit of their backstory
Tim like saw Batman and Dick doing magic and stuff and then kind of stalked them before jumping into battle to help Batman one time, and has been working for him since
Tim and like the entire bat family are all elementals
Bart kinda grew up with this magic stuff because it runs in the family and stuff
he's an adept and his ability obviously is speed
Cassie also like forced herself into magic like Tim did, but shes more connected with her civilian life than he is
she's also an adept, which gives her her like wonder powers and shit
Kon I don't quite know his full back story but I'm thinking a sort of magic clone of Superman or something
he's an adept and has his TTK
he definitely lords the fact that hes an adept and isnt just "element stuff" over Tim
his whole no aging thing also works because using magic rejuvenates the body and slows the aging
Cissie was trained into this by her mom so she never had the chance to live a normal life without magic
she's an adept because of her mother
Greta is a Skulduggery situation, except she's a ghost instead
she's an elemental
secret identity stuff is gonna be like super (heh) interesting with the whole three name stuff. their given name is their secret identity name, the ones they got at birth (though for superboy, he was given the name Kon by Supes so that's his given name) and their chosen name is something along the lines of or their hero name, though I'll probably change them to fit the naming scheme in the books, especially with legacy characters.
also I'm moving the sanctuary and book of names and all the artifacts to america instead of Ireland because that's where yj is set

DPxDC Glass Coffin
Weirder shit has happened in DC universe, but hear me out, Young Justice finds a glass coffin with Danny sleeping inside it. Maybe it's in some ancient tomb and hidden away for centuries, maybe it's in some villain's private collection of artifacts, maybe it's in some museum in plain sight.
And then Kon hears a heartbeat from it.
(I'm going with the version of YJ that is Kon, Tim, Cassie, and Bart here, fyi)
Assuming they didn't come to wherever they found the coffin just for the sake of it, they, as the responsible teenagers they are, finish their business first and take it to Mount Justice later to figure out what the fuck. Meanwhile, Danny is sleeping peacefully like a princess, all up in his King garb, with the Crown of stars, cape of night sky, and whatever else pretty stuff you want him to have. Point is, he looks majestic.
Tim looks up the records for the coffin. The files say it's hundreds of years old, and no one has been able to open it yet. The boy inside is stated to be either a statue or some kind of really well-preserved corpse - no amount of scanning registered any signs of life, so it was treated like a piece of art for the most part.
Yet, Con is absolutely positive he heard a heartbeat inside. What's more, he can still hear it now. It's impossibly slow but still recognizable.
Cassie finds a whole lot of legends about it, most of them speaking of 'only those from the other side can open the casket', and there are no clarifications to what kind of other side they are all talking about.
Of course, they all try. Because this is some kind of Snow White or Sleeping Beauty shit, and besides, none of them even think they would be able to open it anyway. And, sure, as soon as they are done having fun with it, they will report to the JL about their finding. Maybe the magic users will know something about the weird Sleeping Prince. They even go as far as to reason with the casket, loudly proclaiming where they are from, because they all come from very different 'sides'.
Bart goes first, explaining how he is from the future. The casket doesn't budge. Cassie goes next, stating herself as Themyskirian, but to no avail. Kon is next, with his half-Kryptonian heritage, but the glass coffin doesn't accept him as worthy either.
And then it's Tim's turn. And somehow, he flips the glass lid open with no effort at all.
A moment of silence follows, all the YJ members frozen in place, waiting for anything to happen, but the boy inside keeps just laying there, unmoving and with his eyes closed. Then Cassie makes a joke about kissing the princess to wake her up, and all of them start arguing on ethics and stuff because why is Robin the one that has to do the kissing, do you have any idea where that boy has been? Fuck off, you kiss him if you want it, and also, do you really want him to wake up, what if he is some kind of villain or an evil spirit, or-
"Which one of you assholes is dead enough to wake me up from my nap?"
And that's as far as I got with this idea. Maybe Danny was put into some magic sleep, maybe it was Clockwork's time shenanigans, maybe someone locked him inside and he decided to sleep it off, maybe he is there on his own volition, taking a vacation from Kingly duties.
I'm just having this vision of eternally beautiful Danny in a glass (oh, maybe it's not glass, maybe it's ice) coffin, and the YJ arguing over it. There's also Dead Tired potential here, because I love them, yes.
