Written for Going Angst Week, Day 1: Birth/Creation
Summary: His first memories are of glass and darkness. His second memories are of screaming. He doesn't know who or what he is, but he does know that the lab and the man that put them there are bad news. Sadly, it seems unlikely any of them will make it out.

20 Q's for Fic Writers
Thanks for tagging me, @agentianlegend !
1. How many works do you have on Ao3? 
62! I can't believe I have that many fics posted.
2. What's your total Ao3 word count?
918,405
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Almost exclusively Danny Phantom. I have one Gravity Falls Crossover and one DPxDC crossover as well.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos? 
Summoning: When Jack and Maddie Fenton tried to summon the King of All Ghosts, the last thing they expected was the sudden appearance of a very familiar, very human boy wearing spaceship pajamas and with a toothbrush halfway to his mouth.
Double Discovery: After accidentally shooting Phantom with an anti-possession gun, Maddie finds she has a lot to learn about both Danny Phantom and Danny Fenton. Eventual Revelation Story.
Borrower Danny: A teeny tiny Danny starts living in Wayne Manor
4. Fangs or No Fangs: For Phic Phight 2021. Jack and Maddie know that Danny is Phantom. They saw him transform and they knew they should talk about it with him. But…even after two weeks, that conversation feels impossible. And so Jack and Maddie have a plan: a trip to the planetarium to cheer Danny up, to finally see him smile again, and to pave the way for the truth.
5. Below the Greenhouse: For the Phic Phight. Prompt by Avearia: Maddie discovers the depths of Vlad's obsessions when she stumbles upon his secret lab. Despite the shock, part of her almost isn't surprised by the stolen Fenton Tech, the ripoff ghost portal, or the eerie Holo-Maddie—but the clone she finds floating in the pod at the back of the room? That's another matter entirely.
5. Do you respond to comments?
I generally try to! I love hearing what readers have to say and will happily answer questions, as long as I'm not giving out spoilers. XD
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Well, my second long fic, Hope Can Be a Heavy Thing to Hold, ends with the main character dying so....
Seriously though, I do have a sequel to this story planned as my next major project. Maybe we'll all find out things aren't what they seem. 😜
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
I love angst with a happy ending so a lot of my fics end happily. I don't think I can pick which one is happiest. This one has a special place in my heart though.
Offspring of my ectoplasm. My child.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
I have before but not very often. I normally just delete mean comments without replying.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Nope.
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
I have written a two before. I think Borrower Danny is the craziest one.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Luckily I haven't as far as I know.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Kinda? One of my fics, The Danny Program, was based on an au which @thesoulspulse came up with. Later, Soul wrote a longer version of that au which followed a lot of the same stories beats as my fic and I beta'd.
14. What's your all-time favourite ship?
I'm not a huge shipper. Dark Gray (Dan Phantom and Valerie Gray) is something of a guilty pleasure though.
15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
My series, Life and Death is all Perspective, has been a bit of a struggle. I get close to thinking it's done and it keeps growing. 😂
16. What are your writing strengths?
I'm very good at writing emotions and dialogue.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Fights scenes are definitely a struggle since I have trouble visualizing them in my head.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
I only speak English fluently so I probably wouldn't write dialogue in another language.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
I feel like I've told this story before but the first fic I wrote was a Doctor Who fic for a school assignment in high school. It was for one of those warm-up exercises in English and my teacher loved it. XD
20. Favourite fic you've written?
Tagging @mymadmedleyw @five-rivers @assorted-candy @tathartiel @tachvintlogic and anyone else who wants to participate!

20 Qs for Fic Writers
Thanks for the tag, @summerssixecho!
1. How many works do you have on Ao3?
Thirty-six as of now! Most of them are still from events (I put all the filled prompts in one work per event, don’t @ me), but when I really like one of these I post it as a stand-alone :) and I have a few fics outside events too! Woo!
2. What's your total Ao3 word count?
132,746 as of right now, but I’ll still finish Ectober so that’ll change quickly. (and as I said before, some fics I post "twice", in the event's work, and as a stand-alone)
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Danny Phantom almost exclusively, the exception are the CrossOvers :p
I love The Sandman and Supernatural ones. I’m into DPxDC as well.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Seven Ways to Summon the Ghost King (1,187 kudos): Seven different ways in which a tired, stressed and sleep-deprived King of Ghosts can be summoned!
Results may vary.
Holiday Gift 2022 (439 kudos): ALL ghosts need to honour the truce. Including those who don't know they're considered part ghost.
Poison Blood and Weighted Crowns (408 kudos): The Justice League asked for help to the Ghost King.
The King demanded Jason Todd in exchange.
Jokingly, Robin accepted.
King Plasmius had the deal be honoured.
Ectober Week 2021 (365 kudos)
DannyMay 2021 (243 kudos)
5. Do you respond to comments?
YUP. Sometimes I forget and only see it years later tho. But I do like answering comments so I try my best! If I don’t answer is ‘cause I can’t think of anything else to say but I still try! (I don’t really answer in FFN anymore tho, because I forget if I’ve already answered and I don’t remember how to check that, and I don’t want to accidentally answer twice lmao)
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Uhh… not a big fan of angst, and even though I tried my hand at it in the past don’t remember where I put it anymore
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Dragon :') Danny gets dental! (lol ok, I can’t really tell, idk)
8. Do you get hate on fics?
My fics ain’t popular enough to get hate I believe lol.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
LOL. I WROTE LEMON ONCE. YEARS AND YEARS AGO (almost ten year now. I was fourteen). After that, I haven’t, but I have an idea for a fic and if I actually get to write it I know it would be explicit.
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
asdfghjjklñ I fucking love CrossOvers so much. I’ve written some "niche" ones but I believe the craziest/crackiest was Doors :))
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
None that I know of. (Again, not popular enough lol)
12. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Other than ramble with the discord buddies, nope I haven’t.
13. What's your all-time favourite ship?
None tbh, I do like some ships but I’m aro and I don’t really have an OTP.
14. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Not much in the way of WIPs but I do have several plot bunnies I entertain before discarding.
On DPxDC I had a demon twin AU where Damian killed Danny as a kid with pressure from Ra’s al Ghul, and they met again after many years, with Damian as Robin and Danny as the Ghost King… and Danny didn’t forgive Damian. I had a lot planned and wanted to include a lot of worldbuilding, but ultimately I decided I couldn’t give Damian’s character justice as I was projecting heavily on my broken relationship with my abusive brother, and Damian deserved better than to be compared to my brother.
Also DPxDC, the aforementioned explicit work, which would be Danny/Valerie/Jason, with them dealing with being ecto-entities with the ecto-acts in place, Danny dealing with being King and trying to be an astronaut, Valerie coping with her feelings on her nature and her Wayne scholarship, and Jason being a crime lord with a family of vigilantes, and their broken yet existing relationships. As they navigated the complex ensuing dynamics, they dismantled the GIW and took down the Ecto-Acts.
I would also like to do more for Dragon, but I really don’t feel like it rn
16. What are your writing strengths?
Instrospection and mindscapes, if I can say so.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Anything that isn’t introspection and mindscapes.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Naruto :)
20. Favourite fic you've written?
aughdabdsufsda, I don’t really know, I love several of them for different reasons, but maybe Father and Sons? I love Clockwork and I love my Sandman crossovers, so I liked mixing both.
I’m not tagging anyone, but I encourage anyone to try! It was really fun!

20 Qs for Fic Writers
Thank you so much for the tag, @disillusioneddanny !
1. How many works do you have on Ao3?
Just like the answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything = 42 (but I have at least 5 more works on FFN that are not posted here)
2. What's your total Ao3 word count?
316,835 since 2020 (217k this year alone...)
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Danny Phantom mainly but now a lot that goes for the DPxDC crossover.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
They're all DPxDC now lol I'll cheat a bit if you don't mind to add my top DP one:
A Ghost in The Family (a series of five-ish DPxDC one-shots, alternate TUE ending, Danny ends up with the Waynes but doesn't want to keep being a hero to avoid his evil future; 4 out of my Top 5 fics are here)
Shovel Talk (#2 on the list; another DPxDC one for Shipweek, featuring secret identity shenanigans when lovebirds Tim and Danny go to Amity Park to meet the Fentons... and other peculiar friends)
Cool Kids (#6 on the list but top DP-only fic by kudos. Featuring suspicious A-listers and wary Valerie Gray as they notice odd things from one creepy Danny Fenton.
5. Do you respond to comments?
I try to, I really do, but then life happens, I get very busy with work, and a long time passes after receiving a comment, so I feel bad for taking so long to reply. I'll still try to reply to comments anyone has left this year.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Hmmm... I'm not entirely sure. I have a few candidates, but I would have to say Home, a short DP one-shot featuring what seems to be a haunted house of sorts.
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
I have several candidates as well... Shovel Talk is one of them (and it's particularly happy because I was happy I managed to finish a multi-chapter fic for the first time in over 16 years...)
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Not really. And I hate that this does happen to others out there. No one deserves hate on fics. No reader should make an author feel terrible over something they can just close and leave behind. If you're an author getting hate, all my love and support to you.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
No, but I think that if I ever tried it would be awkward lol
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
My only crossovers have been with DC characters (Batfam mostly). But the craziest might be a Tim/Danny Little Baby Man fic (Sleep-Deprived).
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Yeah, some of my old FFNet works got reposted. Fortunately, not crediting anyone else so maybe half-stolen?
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
I have now! I've loved partnering up with Akela and Susi to write Beneath A Different Light, a DPxDC demon twin AU story. They're both geniuses and I'm always in awe with their plotting process and all the lore they can yes-and behind the scenes.
14. What's your all-time favourite ship?
Gray Ghost (Danny/Valerie). I always felt it had lots of potential to grow in canon and there are amazing ideas out there with tons of angst potential and identity shenanigans.
My new favorite one for crossovers is Danny/Tim, though. Probably because I spent so much writing those two together lol
15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Are you afraid of the campfire, which I started for Ectoberhaunt 2021, using all the prompts (each week in one chapter). Now that I don't have to adhere to those prompts, my mind is trying to shift everything into a new place and it's stuck trying to fit prompts instead of just letting it flow. So, I'm letting it go.
16. What are your writing strengths?
I'm not sure what I'd call a strength, but I find it easy to write short stories and planning a plot twist ahead.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Fighting scenes, my beloathed. But also tend to be too wordy when I should simplify things and that makes my sentences clunky at times.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Buffy, but I never published it so I always say Danny Phantom.
20. Favourite fic you've written?
Several of the fics above I loved writing and are in my heart's top 5. However, there's one that I love due to all the planning, the shenanigans that are yet to come and the dynamic I've established so far: Pitch-Dark Shades, a DPxDC ongoing multi-chaptered case fic, featuring a Medium!Danny and Detective!Tim dynamic. Inspired by Pushing Daisies too.
This was long and fun! So let me try tagging some friends who might have yet to find this challenge (totally optional to participate, of course!): @agentianlegend @darthfrodophantom @ghostly-penumbra

Wait! Im a cartoon over here!?!
read it on AO3 at https://ift.tt/TOBGosf by R00sterCat A new vigilante group had been working the rounds. Every rogue or villain they came across for the past week got defeated in seconds. Bruce has been aging like a fly due to the stress of trying to catch them. Everyone else wishes to meet and get their autographs. While Damian and Dick can’t figure out why this group's actions, tools, and abilities feel so familiar. That is until Damian gets saved by a teen with snow-white hair and glowing green eyes. Damian just got saved by a cartoon character Dick and he watches regularly. Meanwhile, Danny and the gang got dumped into the DC Universe. They are familiar with the comics, shows, and movies, they know what’s up, and they can survive! They plan not to draw too much attention. Maybe help a person here or there? get an autograph or ten? But, definitely find a way back home. That plan fails immediately, and now, they’re a vigilante group with a dumb name. But, as long as they stay in the shadows, they should be fine! That all changes when Danny saves Robin and learns something very important yet terrifying. “Wait!

I was never a fan of valerie’s friends just ditching her after she lost all her money (that was just rude), instead I propose that valerie isolated herself from her friends because she didn’t want to put them in danger with her ghost hunting

Headstone
It was a sweet thought. Danny tried to smile when people talked about it. It was all anyone in school had talked about for days. It was moving and sweet and a cause that brought the town together. Even his parents thought it was a good idea. The mayor made the announcement on Monday and everyone had been working hard to get everything ready for the big event.
Saturday morning, 9:30am at the Hallowgate Cemetery, a service was being held for Danny Phantom.
It made sense. If there was a restless spirit in Amity Park, it was Phantom. The cemetery had offered some time ago to offer a spot for ghosts to rest. It had been almost a year since and reportedly, it had been working. Many had been put to rest by the gesture though obviously no body was ever buried.
There was a mausoleum there in the oldest part of the cemetery. The crypt was empty and surrounded by graves dating back hundreds of years. The modest structure was the newest addition there and held the empty tombs of the nameless dead. Where each stone placard inside might have held the name of a beloved family member, there was instead a wish or a prayer of peace for the soul.
Danny had seen the mausoleum once before, had seen ghost activity there on his patrol and stopped by to investigate. What he found was a ghost, a girl maybe 19. She reminded him of Kitty with longer hair and taller but with a ghoulish wound raked down the side of her body ruining the flow of her white gown. He was silent as he watched, withdrew from the scene as she cried in front of a marker that read not her name, but a prayer that she had claimed for herself.
Let those who seek the earth find it comforting and let your final sleep come unto you at last.
That was the first time Danny had seen her and he didn't see her again after that.
It felt invasive to patrol the cemetery at night after that.
The scene, though imagined for everyone else, must have been the inspiration of the upcoming event. Ghosts were slowly becoming less a part of every day life in the town and were hardly ever aggressive. There weren't any more ghost attacks and Phantom was the only ghost regularly seen. Fliers were handed out, the memorial service was talked about every night on the news as if anyone could forget that they talked about it during the day.
Danny had to get up and leave the cafeteria as every conversation he could tune into was about honoring their fallen hero. They were romanticizing it. The idea that Phantom was a tortured and wandering soul and needed them to put him to rest so he can finally be at peace. Phantom's job was done. He was safe they just needed to make him see. The idea was rampant and Danny had no clue how to stop it.
Paulina had cried all week but it never stopped her from openly supporting the event. So many people took her fliers and offered her condolences on losing her ghost boy but Danny could count on one hand how many of them knew his name.
The ones who did had opinions.
Phantom deserves to rest after all he's done for us. It's so sad he's been lost for so long.
Maybe Saturday Danny Phantom can finally rest in peace.
Yeah, as long as Fenton doesn't show up.
Why would he come? His family hates ghosts.
Exactly. He'd probably ruin the whole thing.
It doesn't matter. As long as Phantom finally gets to rest.
He laughed at first. It hurt but he had to laugh or it would hurt more. He could hardly find time to sleep. His work was never done and they wanted him to rest and move on? To where? He wasn't actually dead, only part of him.
Half.
Half of him was dead.
It was so stupid. He was still half alive, that was something right? The living half just happened to be the one that was worth less. He laughed at the idea of honoring his death.
It became harder after a while.
Everyone was so genuine about it. Everyone in school had stories about Phantom. People were interviewed on the local news every night during some kind of countdown special and the overall opinion was that the teen was a hero and he should be remembered.
Why did he have to be remembered? He was active now. People felt happy and peaceful in Amity Park enough to feel safe planning a funeral for ghosts and that was thanks to Phantom who was here and why did they want him to leave? Why didn't they want him anymore?
Every night, Jazz tried to knock on his door asking to talk. Every night, Danny would pretend to be asleep or was already out on patrol. He wasn't avoiding Jazz. He was simply making sure that every night went peacefully. He didn't acknowledge that every night in Amity Park had been peaceful for almost six months. He didn't want to entertain that maybe Amity Park didn't need Danny Phantom anymore after all.
Lancer had taken the chance on Friday to talk about closure. Danny rolled his eyes and doodled on the margins of his notebook but it was so quiet in class, so somber.
Did they really want him to be gone? Remembered in a big ceremony so they could forget him again after? Did Amity Park not want him anymore? For the rest of 5th period he imagined what it would be like to move on. It scared him.
As he patrolled the city the night before his funeral Danny stayed invisible. Thoughts about the afterlife were his only company until he saw the gathering. A vigil was being done for him. There were dozens and dozens of people lighting candles and holding blurry pictures of him. Stuffed animals and flowers all littered the stairs of City Hall in his honor. Camera crews recorded people crying and holding their candles in silence and burning incense that they hoped would appease him.
Danny didn't really have any stuffed animals. He was too old for them. He liked video games and music and horror but there was none of that at the vigil. Why would there be? This could have been honoring anyone.
He didn't know if it was better or worse that he didn't show himself but he barely slept that night, the smell of strange incense burned into his nose.
Breakfast Saturday morning was odd. Jazz kept looking at him, not able to get him alone to talk about the damage that his psyche must be taking or whatever.
His parents kept sniping at each other about whether it was a waste of time or if this might be what finally put Phantom to rest. The question of whether Phantom would react violently to the gesture was brought up by mom and immediately crushed by Jazz and they made sure to dress up anyway. Shockingly, they even wore dress clothes without the jumpsuits, probably predicting the backlash they would receive showing up to a ghost's funeral in ghost hunting gear. He was pretty sure the tasteful gloves on his mother's hands were giving off an ectosignature, but it was still overall a nice thought.
They drove the Fenton RV to the cemetery and, probably for the best, weren't able to park close to the event. Cars lined the street leading to the old graveyard in either direction. They walked for about ten minutes around the iron fence that surrounded Hallowgate but Danny was pretty sure that his parents could jump the fence and make it back to the assault vehicle in two if necessary. It probably gave them peace of mind.
As they passed hundreds of people, many from the vigil last night, Danny couldn't help parrot back the idea that this was in fact a waste of time. Danny Phantom wasn't going to stop roaming the city because the people tried to put him to rest. Phantom might even resent the idea. What happened to a soul after roaming the earth as a ghost for so long? Was Danny's soul the same quality as it was when he was supposed to die? He had done terrible things to this town. If he did move on would he end up in heaven or-
He lowered his gaze and followed his family to his funeral.
It wasn't until they reached the site that Danny's heart skipped a beat. Ghosts had mingled with the crowd, from what he could tell, completely unseen. Dozens of them, most he didn't recognize but others he did.
All of them looked at him as he approached.
He swallowed tightly as the dense group of citizens and the lost alike surrounded one area but it wasn't centered around the white building.
His name wasn't being interred in the ghost mausoleum. The crowd was gathered around a lone headstone set apart from the graves of Amity citizens past and the looming crypt for the nameless.
He was literally set between the living and the dead.
He couldn't see the front of the stone yet, but from the smooth reverse side he could tell it was marble. That was expensive. Why would the cemetery shell out so much money for someone who wasn't even going to be buried? Couldn't be buried?
As they made their way closer, muscling through the crowd that mostly gave way for them with varying degrees of shock, Danny's blood chilled at the smell first. It was the scent of fresh, damp dirt. An empty coffin was prepared in a rig over the open grave. His mouth dried instantly and he took a step back into Jazz who took his arm and squeezed gently.
He wanted to leave, to fly away or sink into the ground-no, not the ground, not when there was his own grave so close as if he could get sucked into it and be trapped inside. Jazz pulled him into her side and wrapped her arm around him in a casual but meaningful hug.
"We'll talk about this as much as you want when we get home." she promised in his ear. He nodded a tiny motion but relaxed just a little as she let go and stayed close.
At 9:30 on the dot, a priest approached the small clearing in front of the grave and began a speech.
It was about what Danny had expected though the language was changed to accommodate the diseased but it felt wrong. He had been to funerals before but being at his own set his teeth on edge. His eyes kept darting around to the people around him but the living and the dead in attendance were so oddly still and subdued with their eyes lowered to the ground or fixed on his grave.
The funeral spiel was quick and generic. There were no friends or family of Phantom to come up and say a few words, no one knew his favorite songs or poems and it didn't feel appropriate to tell stories of his battles. No one knew Phantom as a person, but they knew of him. Why was the idea of him enough to honor Phantom? Why was everyone so sad for something this bland?
The closing remarks started and Danny breathed a little easier knowing it was almost over. The priest looked over the crowd.
"Misguided youth, well-meaning martyr, or something else entirely. The Phantom has proven himself a hero. Now and forever we know this in our hearts. We love you, Phantom. Each and every person here wants you to know that you are important. We may not have known you in life, but we are honored to know of you in death. Whether we have our own stories of your heroics firsthand or simply know of your trials, we honor you today and wish you peace. Whatever that means to you, we, the people of Amity Park, hope you find it."
The crowd murmured an amen after him and as if on cue, two women in black started making their way through the crowd handing out flowers. There were hundreds of them, hydrangeas and roses and lavender, so many types that Danny couldn't keep track and in so many different colors. He wished he knew more about flowers and what they meant but even so they seemed to be given out randomly. It didn't matter what they meant but the gesture was nice.
After the coffin was lowered, the crowd formed a bunched line overseen by the priest. The man ushered them along one at a time and let each person have up to twenty seconds to say their own private prayer before offering them a blessing and a hand wave gesturing them toward the path back to the paved road to take their leave.
Some people stayed only long enough to toss their flower onto the casket while others burst into tears and took their entire twenty seconds to say goodbye.
Some people mumbled sacred words under their breaths and the hair on the back of Danny's neck pricked like he should have heard it, should have swooped in close to take the wishes and prayers but that felt wrong.
Did they all wish him a safe passing to the afterlife? What did he do wrong to make all them want him gone?
He was a hero for them wasn't he?
He bit his cheek and Jazz gently guided him into position behind her.
His parents threw in their flowers, twin daisies and looked at each other before respectfully walking away. Jazz dropped in an orchid and looked over her shoulder at him before turning back, nodding to the priest, and walking away to join her parents.
It was his turn already and he couldn't do anything. Here he was standing numbly at the foot of his own open grave and he didn't have a joke, a prayer, or anything in between for his own memory. What was he supposed to say? You're welcome? Thank you?
He finally read the carved words on the headstone and his mind stood still. Something swelled in his chest, something cold and blinding hot and unwelcome and as the lone white carnation fell from his cold fingers he burst into tears.
A hero is someone who willingly walks into the unknown
Danny Phantom
Gone but not forgotten

Wait! Im a cartoon over here!?!
by R00sterCat A new vigilante group had been working the rounds. Every rogue or villain they came across for the past week got defeated in seconds. Bruce has been aging like a fly due to the stress of trying to catch them. Everyone else wishes to meet and get their autographs. While Damian and Dick can’t figure out why this group's actions, tools, and abilities feel so familiar. That is until Damian gets saved by a teen with snow-white hair and glowing green eyes. Damian just got saved by a cartoon character Dick and he watches regularly. Meanwhile, Danny and the gang got dumped into the DC Universe. They are familiar with the comics, shows, and movies, they know what’s up, and they can survive! They plan not to draw too much attention. Maybe help a person here or there? get an autograph or ten? But, definitely find a way back home. That plan fails immediately, and now, they’re a vigilante group with a dumb name. But, as long as they stay in the shadows, they should be fine! That all changes when Danny saves Robin and learns something very important yet terrifying. “Wait!
