“Mom, why do you think ghosts are intrinsically evil?”
“It’s what the science says, of course!”
“No, I mean like, what were the studies? What did they actually observe”
“Ohh, I get what you mean, Danny! Well across all reputable reports of encounters with the ghosts strong enough to matter, they’ve always attacked first and never responded to attempts at communication! There’s no reason for them to do that if they’re not evil!”
“Huh…”
…
Danny, learning about Ghost Speak and how humans can’t understand it: hmm.
Danny, learning that ghosts greet each other and bond by fighting: hmmm.

So Danny has an ice core. But i don’t think that Dani had an elemental core that was mentioned in the show.
So in this prompt, Dani has an earth core. She’s getting used to using it, practicing almost daily when she’s alone.
Until one day, someone sees her.
Ra’s comes across a girl with incredible earth magic and kidnaps her, forcing her to teach his grandson Damian her magic.
Damian was only 4 to her 12, but he was liminal enough so that he could develop a core. A shadow core.
If Dani was honest, she didn’t hate her years with the LOA. Ra’s was a creep, but Talia treated and referee to her as a daughter. She knew the Leuage was bad news, but they gave her a home.
Damian was young, he didn’t understand blood relations in family. So when he saw his mother treat Dani like a daughter, he just assumed her was her sister and just never end mentioned his thoughts. After all, Mother never mentioned she before, so Damian thought he shouldn’t either.
Meeting his father only solidified his theory. Dani and Bruce look similar enough. He also never mentions another sister other than Cass.
It was only a couple years later that Damian’s magic is found out and her goes
Damian: I don’t know why you’re so surprised, your other daughter also has magic. Mother never has any so it must come from you
Everyone looks at Bruce: … your other WHAT??
Bruce: …🤨😟😣😩
Even better if Danny has already joined the JLD and meets Damian and Damian is like
Damian: 🤨🤨

Danny’s standing next to a newly cleared lot, staring at the shining glass, when someone joins him.
“Find something good?” The voice is soft and smooth and the air smells of jasmine.
Danny glances over to see who can only be Poison Ivy. Her hair flows around her face and vines coil up her legs and across her body. Others wave gently around her, like tentacles.
Not that he’s one to talk. He’s in ghost form, hovering a few feet off the ground so he doesn’t cut his feet.
“Just a lot of broken glass,” he says, answering her earlier question. “I’m trying to come up with a way to clean it up safely. If I use ice, the glass will just turn brittle and break.”
Ivy tilts her head at him, brow furrowing. “You are…helping?”
“Sure. No one deserves glass in their feet.”
There’s something about the rogue that’s…familiar, somehow. The way she quirks her brow, maybe. He’s certainly never met someone who smells so much like jasmine, though.
Poison Ivy gestures and vines rush forward below Danny’s feet. He floats up a little higher–hopefully out of easy grabbing distance–and watches them snake into the rubble. From there they grow. And grow.
It’s a lot like the weed he helped Pam with at the warehouse, actually. No thorns and prickles, though. Instead, the weight of the vines presses the smooth skin into the ground–and glass. Ivy hisses slightly, then gestures and pulls the vines back. They tower up into the air, riddled with glass shards. The ground is clean.
Danny claps, throwing the rogue a delighted grin. “That’s amazing! I wish I could do that!”
Ivy stares at him, like she’s never come across such an odd specimen before. Danny ignores it; he’s used to people staring for one reason or another. Danny don’t do that; Danny that might explode; Danny that’s an untested hypothesis you can’t base an experiment on a hunch–!
“Would you…” the rogue chews over the words before finally letting them go. “Would you take the vines somewhere to dispose of?”
“Sure!” Danny’s easy acquiescence seems to catch her by surprise. “I’ve got just the empty lot for it.” He floats up to the towering vine, reaching out to turn it intangible. Then he hesitates because that’s…a pretty distinctive power.
Ivy watches him, making no move to attack or run away. Plants coil around her feet. Well, if anyone’s going to see his power, she doesn’t seem like someone who can judge. Or hopefully report him.
Praying he’s not doing something stupid, Danny grabs the vines, turns them intangible, and shoots off in an arc to the Bowery.

DP x DC prompt
Danny the new (unintentional) Gotham Rogue
Because of college, university or maybe a job offer, Danny is moving to Gotham. What he hadn't thought of at the time, is the high levels of air pollution and smog that block the view of the sky at all hours of the day. But he needs to see the night sky to satisfy his space obsession and he doesn't always have time to leave the city and with all the bats and birds around, he can't just fly above the smog blanket, without risking being discovered.
So he goes to Sam. She knows a thing or two about activism and can give him tips.
And Danny begins small.
But nothing changes.
So he goes a little bigger. Not much. Just a little to get noticed.
But this is Gotham. Who cares about a little smog? It's been like this for as long as they remember and they really have bigger problems don't they?
And so Danny goes bigger and bigger and at some point he crosses the thin line between normal activism and what is considered a Rogue in the eyes of the Gothamites.
For Danny this is normal activism still. Amity Park is a little weird, a little extreme for outsiders. Being liminal or half ghost screws with your sense of normal and hey, Danny just wants to bring attention to the smog problem.
At some point he meets Pamela Isley. Someone who is all for less smog in Gotham. Especially since some plants really need more sunlight and she just wants to make the world a little greener, you know?
So yeah. Danny has no idea that what he sees as normal is borderline Rogue behaviour in Gotham, even though he would just like to see the stars on a regular basis. Please and thank you.

Demon Twins HC
Damian and Danny have this thing they like to do when they really want to get out of something. it's turned into a bit of a game for them ever since they reunited.
They would start off by playing games, silly, harmless games that didn't really mean much. Things like, who could jump the furthest? Who could throw a knife harder? each time one of the twins one upped the other, it was a point in their favor. These points would later equate to something very important.
Ways to cash in a favor with one another.
Danny: remember last week how I managed to capture Killer Croc before you?
Damian: what do you want, Danyal?
Danny: I have an exam in English today and I didn't study for it, can you be me?
or
Damian: remember when you told me that you could hold your breath for thirty minutes and passed out at twenty nine?
Danny: you'll never let me live it down. What do you want?
Damian: father has asked that I attend a JLA meeting.
Danny: I'll get on the Robin suit.
No one ever notices. Years go by and the twins are never found out. No matter how crazy or weird the situation is, no matter how obvious it is to them, no one in the family can actually seem to tell them apart.
Not when Damian and Danny have an endless supply of colored contacts, not when the two were nearly identical twins who knew one another like the back of their hands. The twins simply switch places whenever they need, and no one has to know.

Guys
Reincarnated Danny as Barbara
Danny whose family had long since passed, never forming into ghosts as they had no trauma that kept them seen into the living realm or even in the Infinite Realms.
Danny who missed his family but was slowly loosing the memory of them no matter how much he tried to remember, picking up pencils, and paints just to keep their memory.
Danny who wanted the chance just to feel again without the pain of their loss, and allowed himself to reincarnate back into the world with the promise of his return to the Infinite Realms and Clockwork.
Danny who made his form, who chose red hair and blue eyes that shone teal underneath the suns light. Danny who chose to grow up as a girl with a face so familiar and yet didn’t sit right with him.
The nose too off, the lips not the right shape, but it was close enough to feel comfort even in the uncomfortable.
Danny Barbara who didn’t like long hair but always felt a deep curling hesitation in her stomach when she would bring scissors to her hair.
Barbara whose skin itched when she was called a girl, and yet couldn’t dare say that she wasn’t because this is the face of a girl, with red hair, and blue eyes and it’s right.
Barbara who didn’t like Barbara, but it was the only name she had ever known.

I think Jazz would have such a fun time dealing as a child therapist for teenage heroes.
Black Canary has her hands full with the adult JL members and so they went through a very thorough hiring process to recruit another therapist.
Jazz is perfect. She’s knowledgeable in her field, she was a sidekick for a small town hero, and she has good chemistry working with kids and likes to work with kids.

college is supposed to be a new start for danny: one in which his “work” life and personal life stay strictly separate. but when danny moves into his new gotham university dorm for the upcoming semester, his hopes are dashed. gotham is overflowing with lost souls, and they won’t leave him alone long enough for him to finish his damn physics homework.
when mr. and mrs. wayne offer him refuge in their old study, danny thinks he’d be stupid not to take it. he wasn’t expecting their house to still be inhabited, but whatever. he can blend into the background. he’ll do anything for some peace and quiet.
now if only he can convince martha to stop trying to out him to the rest of the family.

The World Contains…
Crack prompt (Inspiered by a screenshot I saw on Pinterest)
Streamer!Danny AU where Danny is giving some form of scientific lesson in a video.
Danny: The world contains protons, neutrons, electrons-
A severely sleep deprived Red Robin crashes through Danny’s window in the background, landing on the floor and immediately passing out.
Danny, looking back to the camera with a deadpan expression: …and morons.

Streamer Danny AU, but he’s a really minor streamer. Like, he does it mainly just for his own fun and only has a few intermittent viewers.
But somehow Jason finds his channel anyway, and something about his voice is captivating. The pit rage quiets down in his presence. So he starts tuning in to basically every stream, or just putting on the VODs in the background to fall asleep to.
And on the other side, Danny takes note of this new subscriber who’s quite possibly his first truly dedicated viewer. So he starts interacting with him on stream sometimes - greeting him when he shows up in the chat, specifically asking/answering questions, etc
Needless to say, this did not help Jason’s growing semi-parasocial crush in the slightest…

I was reading a dpxdc summoning prompt and got an idea...
What if Danny, Dan, and Dani/Elle summon each other for fun?
I'm imagining like big, burly, (reformed) Dan doing some complex summoning ritual in Gotham when the bats drop in.
They fight, but the ritual goes through... only for a like smaller, less burly version of Dan to appear. The bats are rightfully confused. Danny is laughing at Dan for getting caught. Dan is enjoying getting to punch heros again.

What Binds Us
There are a lot of places Danny could go for help. Tucker’s, until Danny’s parents think to call the house. Sam’s, for at least 24 hours until her parent’s notice. Vlad's for a full week if he resigns himself to some blackmail. Jazz, if she wasn’t on a semester-long study abroad for college halfway around the world.
There are also a lot of places Danny shouldn’t go. Metropolis with Superman and Supergirl, believing the law will always be just. Washington DC with its tiny population and resident Wonder Woman. Gotham City with Batman, a low tolerance for metahumans, and a high crime rate.
Danny picked Gotham City–specifically Crime Alley.
The multiple vigilantes in the city shouldn’t pose a problem; they are normal humans. No superpowers to contend with when he’s trying to hide. As long as Danny lays low and doesn’t rob a bank, no one should notice him. Most importantly, the Ghost Investigation Ward has no base in the city, unlike Metropolis or DC.
As a half-ghost and teen hero, Danny’s not too worried about staying safe in Crime Alley. By the Ancients, he defeated Pariah Dark and went toe-to-toe with Mayor Vlad. He’s ready for anything the street can throw at him.
It’s this attitude that landed him in his current situation, sitting in a free clinic with a bleeding bullet wound to the arm.
Maybe he underestimated Gotham City.
Read the rest here!

Batboy Reflects
First | Previous | Next
Danny sat on the roof staring at the starless sky. It had been a long night.
He had considered leaving this dimension. Not because he hated it here but the way he saw it he didn't hate it yet.
It had its ups and downs but its starting to feel too familiar. He had new friends, new family, and people who are far to concerned with what he was.
Something Danny didn't know how to answer. He knew deep down Dick was concerned and that he had so many questions. Questions Danny did not want to answer.
He didn't want to think about his role or title. He didn't want to think about his past. He didn't want to talk about how lonely he felt.
No one understood what this was like. How malleable this body was. How a single thought or feeling can make it shift uncontrollably. Shifting isn't painless or easy. Imagine trying to rewrite how your brain works along with your body. It is draining.
Danny did what Clockwork taught him and stuck to limited shifts, only doing 2 to 3 forms. Still, it feels like he's getting nowhere. And now he knows he did it wrong. But these damn wings won't change!
Danny hates it. He hates himself. Why can't he get anything right?! What's wrong with him?!
WHY CAN'T EVERYTHING JUST WORK?!
Can't it just be simple?
can't it just...stop?
"Dan?" It was Dick's voice, "Are you trying to..."
Danny felt like something was stabbing through him at that name. His head hurt. His eyes burned. He looked at Dick who looked so shocked and horrified. Like he saw a monster.
Danny looked at his hands, scarred and burned. Just like before.
Tears streamed down his face as he moved to cover it from view.
"DONT LOOK AT ME!" Danny screamed.
All he could think of was Jazz's face the last time he saw her. The way she sobbed and screamed as she held him. The pain he felt when he felt her emotions radiating off her.
Danny panicked. His heart thundered in his chest so hard it banged against his stomach making him feel sick.
He disappeared.

Silly prompt idea for dead on main (that's the ship name for Danny and Jason, right?):
Justice league is hosting a charity Halloween party, so they have people in the league, and associates of league members fill out surveys on things to include and what scary things might get added to the haunted house portion. One of the questions is a generic "what is something that scares you?" Some answers are normal things you would expect from league members, like kryptonite or a particularly unnerving villain
Until you get to the bat family. Everyone other than Batman and Red Hood has put "Red Hood's boyfriend" and when asked why the responses are along the lines of
"he can CONSISTENTLY sneak up on me" -Damian and Cassandra
"he can mess up my tech with just a slip in his control of his powers" -Tim
"everyone else was doing it, so I thought it was a bit" -Dick, Duke, and Barbara
Oh that's gonna make Danny's day when he found out. Y'all think I'm spooky?! 🤯 I'm so flattered! Death goal of a ghost tbh, become the worst fear of the bats (that they'll publicly admit).
Then Batman and Red Hood put down 'Jack', and people are like, who's this a rogue? A new supervillain? While both of them are having in-laws flashbacks and shuddering, saying 'someone you don't wanna meet', and people are Concerned™
Also it could go two ways when people finally met Danny. Either they met him as Phantom and, oh he's the sweetest boy ever what do you mean the bats fears him? Or they met Danny Fenton and oh gods that boy sure is hitting every uncanny valley there is, no wonder.
Also also Danny's fear would definitely be 'siblings', and the bat clan all nods along like no explanation needed valid fear.

DP x DC Ring of rage
Why is it I don’t see much about the effects of the ring of rage?
Chiefly the fact it has an angry and wrathful influence on the wearer
You see plenty of ghost king au Dannys but it totally ignores the rage aspect of an item that makes up half the pair of items that give pariah the mega power boost
It just wouldn’t make sense for it to not affect Danny
Danny has his petty moments, he’s impulsive and with Vlad he definitely has a vindictive streak. He’s also not immune to emotional manipulation as shown in Fanning the Flames. It makes sense that the anger that comes with the ring would be something he struggles with
The canon effect of this item is the same as Jason’s “pit rage”(which is fanon) so in a situation those two are in together Danny is the one that’s going to go off if he has the ring
