the Princess and the King

[catmaraudersfan]

Fun idea I got while thinking of a few prompts on here:

Danny winds up in the DC universe. This universe speaks a different language than his and even All Speak isn't helping. Not to mention it's been a long time since he fully died and he hasn't been around the living much.

He manages to get across that, while yes, he's not human, he means no harm. Luckily the other group portrays the same intent. One of them (John Constantine) seems to be lecturing some of the members (JL) about something. (Be polite because he may LOOK like a kid {he returned to looking the age he half-died at after he fully died} but John can sense, backed up by other JLD members, that he's MUCH older than he looks. Not to mention the Ghost King thing.)

Over time, Danny begins to learn this universe's language.

One day, Danny is ranting about the Observants and how they keep screwing with Clockwork.

Cyborg speaks up and asks who Clockwork is and that Danny slipped into Ghost Speak halfway through his rant. Danny takes a moment to translate the name and gives the name Kronos.

Poor Danny is confused at the sudden silence and tense atmosphere.

Wonder Woman frantically asks what Kronos did now and how he got free.

A confused Danny says he's NOT free and that THIS is the problem.

Everyone else goes from relief to learn he's still trapped to shocked, confused, and more than a little horrified to learn their friend wants to FREE Kronos?!

Seeing the horrified and bordering on betrayed looks, Danny starts explaining about the Observants and how they've been acting up.

What everyone else HEARS?

'THERE'S ONES *WORSE* THAN FUCKING *KRONOS*?!'

'What have these psychos done to make KRONOS look SANE to this guy?!'

They get their answer when seeing he hasn't quit sold them on freeing Clockwork, more like he seems to have driven them against the Observants, which, he's not complaining, but that's not the PROBLEM.

Danny then tells them about Dan and how the Observants wanted to kill him to prevent it and how Clockwork not ONLY saved him, but found a safer, non-bloody, way to stop that timeline from happening. He DOES assure them that Dan has long since healed emotionally and mentally.

The group is shocked at Kronos' KINDNESS, wonders if death calmed him, and if his madness somehow slipped into these Observant psychos.

So I haven’t seen many dpxdc fics or prompts about the teen titans which I feel is a huge missed opportunity, I’ve seen a few with raven like “she’s his niece” or something like that but what about one where he has to do a double take?

Danny has been king for a long time and due to his half dead kingly status hasn’t visibly aged a day since his death, it’s been decades maybe even a century since the last person he grew up with passed: Jazz had given his hand one more squeeze and a sad smile before passing on to her afterlife, Tucker had told him a dumb joke then proceeded to laugh about it till he passed, Sam, oh Sam went kicking and screaming: unlike the other two who avoided looking in his eyes she looked at him and saw the loneliness and sadness in his eyes, his eyes that hadn’t aged a day as she laid on her deathbed of old age, despite her anger at leaving him alone she too did not leave a ghost behind. Danny still had Dani but her obsession of freedom kept her out and about more often than not exploring different worlds, dimensions, and planes of existence leaving Danny alone save for the full ghosts.

Danny for some reason is summoned whether by the titans themselves or by someone else and the titans just happen to be there is irrelevant but they are there and Danny sees them. He knows they aren’t them, he knows they barely even look or seem even partially like them but when he sees Starfire, Cyborg, and Raven for a split second he sees Jazz, Tucker, and Sam

I like the idea of a story like this where Danny sees people who are practically nothing like his long dead friends and sister but are just enough like them to make him do a double take and make his eyes that have likely hardened or filled with loneliness soften even if only briefly

The Justice League got letters from someone they didn't know. Supplies, artefacts, evidence, grimoires… None of the things they got where things anyone should have been able to come by, and especially not with enough time to give it to them as they needed it.

Batman didn't like it. None of them did. But in the end, the resources and information send to them were helpful and sometimes even indispensable. At the end of the day, no matter how mixed their feelings towards that mail was, it had saved them on multiple occasions.

“There hasn’t been a Wild Hunt in centuries” Clockwork muses. 

Danny looked up from his paperwork. Accidentally befriending the latest generations of Observants had the best of unintended consequences. Instead of a bunch of naggy, bureaucratic, homicidal alarmists, always ready to bring about Danny’s immediate End. He now had a cohort that scouted the infinite dimensions and then told him the interesting things they’d observed. They were interdimensional news reporters, always ready to bring back the latest from all over the realms. His reports now read like gossip tabloids or snarky info-dumping blog posts. People got up to the wildest shit in all the dimensions, and Observants were spilling all the tea. His next objective was seeing if they would be willing to give reports in comic book form.

Upon hearing Clockwork, Danny squinted.

“Ok, what’s that got to do with me?” Clockwork doesn’t make random announcements. Danny could feel this in his core, this was gonna lead to shenanigans. 

“You are the newly crowned High King of the Infinite Realms are you not? You of all spirits have enough power and authority to lead a Wild Hunt”.

“But why can’t you do it? You’ve got power and authority. You’re literally the God of Time!” Danny protests. Clockwork shifts into his decrepit Father Time shape.

“But it wouldn’t be fitting for an old creaking ghost like me to be leading the Wild Hunt. The Wild Hunt is an event better suited for youngins”

Danny stares at Clockwork utterly unimpressed. “Clockwork you were literally a baby just seconds ago”

Clockwork scoffs, “To you maybe. My seconds last longer than yours, however. I experience Eternity in a Hour,”

“That’s not, no they don’t. I know that’s not how that works. Why are you even? Wait, hang on, was that last bit a quote from somewhere? You know what fine, fine,” Danny sighs in resignation, “What even is the Wild Hunt?”

“A H̛̤̰̲͙͈̘̺́u҉̯n̂̑͗̆҉̪̪̲͇̙͔t̬͊͌” ::chase-thrill-pursuit-procession:: (nostalgia-of- fierce-fury-and-rampant-joy)

“A H̛̤̰̲͙͈̘̺́u҉̯n̂̑͗̆҉̪̪̲͇̙͔t̬͊͌. ::chase-thrill-pursuit-procession:: (unimpressed-incomprehension) Danny repeated in a different tone. "Wow, supremely helpful CW. Anything more you want to add to that?”

Clockwork shrunk down to his baby form.

“No”

Then shifted through his adult form and back up into his old man Father Time form.

Danny face-palms. “You know for a ghost who wants me to lead the Wild Hunt, you’re not being very persuasive in getting me to lead the Wild Hunt.”

“That’s fine I don’t need to persuade you”.

“What?”

Suddenly the stack of paper that Danny had been reading from glowed green. A new report had come in. Eyeing Clockwork suspiciously, who smiled benignly back in his adult form, he picked up the report and gave it a glance over.

Then he read it again to make sure he was understanding this right.

“Clockwork, this guy has bargained his soul like five times over and now a bunch of Demonic Sovereigns want me to mediate because I am quote-unquote "a neutral party”.”

“Ahh yes, the quadruply damned soul belonging to the Hellblazer, one John Constantine.”

“This petition was submitted by… The Third of the Fallen? Well that name's pretentious.”

“They are all Fallen, arrogance and pretentiousness is a tiresome given” Clockwork sighed. “Also the Heavenly Host has reportedly made endeavours to ensure that John’s soul doesn’t end up into the hands of Hell. Specifically that the Presence, their God figure, is incentivised to prevent John’s transformation into a powerful demonic threat. So Heaven technically wants John’s soul too even if it’s just to keep it out of Hell’s grasp.” 

“This guy has Heaven and Hell fighting over his soul when he dies. John’s soul better be the prettiest in all the realms because even Helen of Troy didn’t kick off this much warfare.” Danny stared hard at the report. “What do they even want me to do about this?”

“No parties want to relinquish their claim on Constantine’s soul, or to be more precise, no party wants any of the other parties to claim it.”

“If I can’t have it, then no will,” Danny said wryly.

“That is the current status quo," Clockwork affirmed. "But Constantine is mortal, that man will die one day sooner or later. But no party wants to have a full on war over Constantine’s soul either.”

“Which is why they come to me, an outside party, to arbitrate the matter”

“They hope that you will judge the matter and decide who gets his soul upon his mortal demise”

“That sounds like a whole lot of bother, absolutely no fun, and like I’ll get a bunch of powerful demons, angels, and whatever else pissed off at me.”

“If a Trial and Judgement is not to your liking you could just provide an alternative to War”

“What like a,” the dots start to connect in Danny’s head, “Like a Wild Hunt, to the victor go the spoils i.e. John Constantine’s soul”.

Clockwork smirks.

DpxMarvel idea:

Frostbite is Laufey and the rest of the Far Frozen is the ghosts of the Jotun.

Danny meets the Avengers (Loki is long since redeemed and works with them), sees Loki, and remembers a message from his Doctor and friend.

"Hey, uh, my Ghost Doctor wanted me to tell you something," Danny told Loki awkwardly.

"Yes?" Loki responds, raising an eyebrow.

"He's no longer angry. He understands why you did what you did," Danny repeats. Then, seeing the confused faces and remembering something else, he adds, "Oh, and he gave me permission to use his old, living name. He said his name was Laufey. Anyway, he says if you ever wish to talk things out, to ask me and I'll take you to him."

"Does he treat you well as a healer?" Thor asks on behalf of his shook brother.

"Oh, yeah! We're actually really good friends," Danny assures, beaming. ".... My ghost half has even started looking more like him and the others."

Loki's eyes widen. "Show me ..... Please."

Danny does so, hoping this will ease the tension.

His new form has blue-black skin, constellations on his skin *Danny explains the space stuff is one of his Obsessions shining through*, and ice growing from his head in almost a crown shape, the ACTUAL Ghost King crown on his head with the Ring of Rage on his finger.

Loki is trying to catch his breath. This child looks almost similar to Laufey, PROVING the child's claim that Laufey has calmed is true.

You know that one tumblr post that’s like “a king takes on a bunch of really competent people as his ‘concubines’ so that he has a justification for bringing them into meetings as advisors”? (edit: found it)

Imagine combining that sort of idea with the DPxDC “people mistakenly assume that Danny was forcibly wed to the ghost king” trope thing (e.g. from here and here).

People notice that there’s clearly some sort of connection between the Ghost King Phantom and the human Danny Fenton, and they jump to the incorrect conclusion that Phantom took Danny as a concubine/spouse/etc.

And like Danny obviously wants to make sure the heroes don’t bust down his palace door and start a war about that, so he needs to explain to them that everything is fine. The simplest solution would of course just be to tell them the actual truth, but he doesn’t want to give up his secret identity.

So instead, he claims that yeah he’s technically Phantom’s concubine on paper, but actually that’s just a legal excuse to allow Phantom to keep him around for help with… whatever political reason Danny could plausibly be helpful for (knowledge about his parents’ tech, maybe?)

And then of course to back up the ruse he decides he has to commit to the bit and bring on a number of other people in similar supposedly-concubine-but-actually-advisor roles.

*John Constantine, who was visiting and who knows EXACTLY who Danny is (Ghost King AU):*

*To the shocked Justice League*

And THIS is why you idiots don't assume by appearances.

*Barry:*

Bbbbbut he-

*John:*

What you think the dead AGE?

I need a Misunderstanding trope where Phantom is put with one of the ‘kid’ groups because everyone assumes he’s a teen, but Phantom (he’s, like, 28) thinks he’s just like… co-managing/supervising the group with another Justice League member.

Asked if he’s in school thinking high school? He says yes, thinking of college where he’s going for his graduate degree. His grumbles over homework and time management skills cements it.

ICE contact? Frostbite. Yeah, that’s really his name. (Jazz talked him out of putting her because if it’s an emergency then they likely need medical history and support.) Here’s a device to actually reach him. His parents? Uhhh, nah, I would put my sister second.

It just goes on.

The guy snarks, puns, and throws jokes, clearly up-to-date with internet culture. He’s a casual dude, loves video games, burgers, and space. He’s kinda short and a little lanky, but he’s stupid strong (like he both forgets he is strong and doesn’t know his strength at times).

Phantom’s checking all the boxes as a teen hero both visually and on vibes with the League so they put him there. Danny’s touched that they think he’s responsible enough to put him in charge of the kids, so he does his best.

(Batman finds out about the appointment after it’s approved, but before he says anything he sees how much the teens open up around Phantom and… well… if they didn’t do their homework to see that the Phantom persona has been active for 14 years with pop-ups through history then that’s not really his problem, is it? He might miss that Phantom doesn’t realise this for a while…whoops.)

Poll

so I made Danny actually have a few lovers before Jason and decided on having a Martian lover when he was younger..what species should his other relationship be before Jason??

[stars-obsession-pit]

When the Justice League set up a meeting with the new Ghost King, they had expected him to be a powerful, imposing figure. So when they entered and saw a gangly teenager wearing the crown, they assumed that he must have been chosen to be an easily manipulated puppet figurehead while things were actually being run by others.

And, to be fair, Danny is relying a lot on the advice of the other ghosts. He’s still very much young and inexperienced, especially compared to the older ghosts. But he’s definitely not their puppet, nor is he by any means weak.

Which means that the JL’s assumption can lead to some rather significant misinterpretations of things down the line…
