Ghost King AU: Queen
So ghost king au. The ancients are, well, ancient and language constantly is evolving. So what if, certain titles and terms related to being the Ghost King are more modern interpretations of old titles, where we’re just seeing the closest English approximation. And like any translation of an ancient language, certain nuances are lost, and might not be entirely accurate.
What if, in the language of the ancients, titles are not gender specific and describe the function of the role. So anyone can have the title of the Ghost King, male or female, regardless of gender, because it describes the lynchpin of the Infinite Realms. 
So if Ghost Queen is defined as “partner of the Ghost King” someone attempting to summon the Ghost Queen would be in for a surprise...
Just imagine, cultists chanting, summoning the ghost queen, only to have [insert clearly not a ghost and/or not female character]
“Well we clearly fucked something up.”
or if they’re in a poly relationship, summoning the ghost queen results in multiple people showing up, leaving everyone confused. 
if we wanted to make it DC crossover, Summoning the Ghost Queen, expecting a ghostly woman of some sort to show up, and just an angry Red Hood pops into the circle, fully costume, body armor and guns galore. Maybe he doesn’t even know why that just happened, but he’s certainly not happy about it
or Superbraindead:
“Uh guys? Why did Tim Drake and Superboy just appear?”
Kon ready to tussle and just Tim, about to actually sleep for once just stares into the camera like he’s on the Office.
Bonus if Danny never mentioned the Ghost King thing or even being half ghost at all and they’re left scrambling to figure out why this just happened
