DP x DC: The Most Dangerous Card Game
Ok so Danny has essentially claimed earth as his. And he is fully aware that there are constant threats to the planet. Now he can’t stop a threat that originates on earth (that’s something he’ll leave to the Justice league) but he can do something about outside threats. Doing some research on ancient spells, rituals, and artifacts, he cast a world wide barrier on the planet to protect it from hostile threats so they cannot enter. This will prevent another Pariah Dark incident. However, barriers like this come at a price. You see, there are two ways to make a barrier. Either make one powered up by your own energy and power (which would be constantly draining) or set up a barrier with rules. The way magic works is that nothing can be absolutely indestructible. It must have a weakness. The most powerful barriers weren’t the ones reinforced with layer after layer of protective charms and buffed up with power. Those could eventually be destroyed either by being overpowered, wearing them down, or by cutting off the original power source. No, the most powerful barriers were the ones with a deliberate weakness. A barrier indestructible except for one spot. A cage that can only be opened from the outside. Or that can only be passed with a key or by solving a riddle. So Danny chooses this type of barrier and does the necessary ritual and pours in enough power to make it. And he adds his condition for anyone to enter.
Now the Justice league? Find out about the barrier when Trigon attempts to attack, they were preparing after he threatened what he would do once he got to earth. How he would destroy them. The Justice league tried to take the fight to him first but were utterly destroyed, so they retreated home to tend to their injuries, and fortify earth for one. Last. Stand. Only when Trigon makes his big entrance…he’s stopped.
The Justice league watch in awe as this thin see-through barrier with beautiful green swirls and speckled white lights like stars apears blocking Trigon and his army’s advance. The barrier looks so thin and fragile yet no matter how hard the warlord hits, none of his attacks can get through and neither can he damage said barrier. That’s when Constantine and Zatanna recognizes what this barrier is. Something only a powerful entity could create. For a moment, the league is filled with hope that Trigon can’t get through yet Constantine also explains that it’s not impenetrable. And clearly Trigon knows this too for he calls out a challenge.
And that’s when, in a flash of light, a tiny glowing teenager appears. He looked absolutly minuscule compared to Trigon and yet practically glowed with power (this isn’t a King Danny AU though).
And that is when the conditions for passing the barrier are revealed. And the Justice realize that the only thing stopping Trigon and his army from decimating earth. The only way he can get through….is by beating this glowing teenager in a card game.
Not just any card game though. The most convoluted game Sam, Danny, and Tucker invented themselves. It’s like the infinite realms version of magic the gathering, combined with Pokémon, and chess. And Danny is the master. So sit down Trigon and let’s play.
(The most intense card game of the Justice league’s life).
After Danny wins, this happens a few more times with outer word beings and possibly even demons attempting to invade earth, yet none have been able to beat the mysterious teenager in a card game. Constantine might even take a crack at it and try to figure out how to play. He’s really bad though. Every time this happens, the Justice league worry that this might be the time the teenager looses. Yet every time, he wins (even if only barely).
Meanwhile, Danny, Sam, and Tucker have gotten addicted to the game and play it almost daily. Some teachers might seem them playing the game are are like ‘awww how cute’ not realizing this game is literally saving the world. Jazz is just happy they aren’t spending as much time on their screens playing Doomed.

thinkin about pacific rim soapghost, but they're not drift partners
Ghost has been in love with and dating Roach since they were teenagers. They join the Jaeger Program together and everything on Roach’s suggestion.
One day, Roach dies. Ghost is distraught. Ruined. But not more than Roach’s drift partner, John MacTavish.
See, Roach and Ghost were never copilots. Going through the program, Roach ended up paired with Soap of all people. And Ghost hated him for it because it was always supposed to be him and Roach. And now that Roach is gone, Ghost has all the more reason to detest Soap’s entire existence. Meanwhile Soap is stuck with his own dilemma.
He's caught between the hell of having felt his drift partner die whilst also struggling to determine if the feelings he has for Ghost are purely his own, or an after effect of drifting with Roach.
Eventually, Soap is paired with Ghost, something neither of them are all that pleased by, but the program basically controls their lives and neither of them have a choice unless that choice is to leave the Jaeger Program all together. It is rough. Their test drift is delayed for months, mostly because Soap makes excuses of not being ready yet, that Roach's death is still too fresh in his head, something that only further irritates Ghost. How dare he? How dare he talk about the love of his life like Roach meant anything to him? Ghost is blinded by his grief, and it finally culminates in a fight the night before their compatibility test.
- - -
"You don't know shit-!"
"I know more than you! I know everything about him, Riley! I was in his fucking head!"
Ghost freezes. His expression is caught between surprise and burning anger, but Soap doesn't give a shit. He's been holding back this entire time, taking the abuse because he *knows* it's different for Ghost. Knows that he lost the love of his life and has no other way to fucking grieve. But he's tired of this shit.
"I know how much he loved you. How much he wanted to spend the rest of his life with you. Fuck, it was so strong. Fucked me up in the head, if I'm being honest. 'Cause I liked you too. Kept my mouth shut about it, even if he knew anyway. It was like a mutually agreed upon decision. I didn't bring up his feelings for me and he didn't bring up my feelings for you. We just ignored it. And then he died in the middle of everything, and the only fucking thing in his head was *you*. You you *you*. Fuck, can't even tell what parts are me and what parts are still him. He haunts me like a fucking *ghost*, and I hate it, but I miss him at the same time so I just fucking cling to any part of him that I can. And the strongest part is his love."
Finally, Ghost breaks his silence. He ignores the part about Roach's feelings for Soap like he never mentioned it at all. "How can you love me when you don't even know anything about me?"
"I do, though. I know that you hate sweets, but you loved kissing Gary and tasting the sugar on his lips. I know you love this program, despite what it's taken from you. You've always struggled to belong, and outside of Gary, piloting feels like your purpose in life. It's why you haven't left, right? I know everything about you that he's ever known."
Soap doesn't sound happy about that. Doesn't sound upset either. Just...resigned. The red finally fades from Ghosts vision, and for the first time, he looks at Soap. Really look at him, and sees just how *broken* he is. Takes a moment for the connection to form in his mind, for him to realize why. Ghost had lost the love of his life, yes. But Soap had been the one to feel it. To be there. It had felt like he was dying too. And here Ghost is, *blaming him*.
"I-"
"It's whatever, Riley. I'm leaving. Don't think I'm cut out for this anymore, it's all just one big fucking headache. I'm tired."
Ghost watches Soap walk away. And he doesn't follow, because what can he even say?

Natori Shuuichi had had many opportunities to come up with a plan, and he hadn't taken any of them. He was beginning to regret that now.
As the nurse looked him over skeptically, he considered the pros and cons of turning on the sparkles. He did tend to get what he wanted when he did that, but it would come at the cost of his anonymity. His manager would kill him if this showed up in tomorrow's headlines.
On the other hand, he'd come this far, and the frantic fear that had pushed him to drop everything and hurry here without taking the time to consider what he'd do upon arrival was still thrumming unhappily under his skin.
Plus, damage control was a thing. Publicists existed, and probably they would all go hungry if he didn't give them something to do. Really he would be doing everyone a favor.
"It's after hours, sir. Family only," the nurse was saying.
Well, he might not be family, but he was an actor. Professionally. He could pretend.
"This is strictly confidential," he told the nurse, leaning forward and lowering his voice conspiratorially. "Can I trust you to keep this between us?" Taking off his glasses, he gazed right into her eyes for the first time. Experience had taught him that was a surefire way to throw people off.
It seemed to be working. She was quickly turning an alarming shade of red and seemed, for a few seconds, to have lost the faculty of speech. "Of- of course, sir. Confidentiality is…very important. I wouldn't - I won't tell anyone."
"Thank you, I appreciate it," he told her as seriously as he could manage. "The truth is, I'm…"
He paused, not just for effect. It was kind of hard to say. This was going to have…consequences.
Breath in. Release.
"I'm his husband."
In for a penny, in for a pound.

Do you feel lonely? Do you ship Stacey and Neil and wish there was more community for this niche little rarepair?
WELL YOU’VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE!!!!!
Hi I’m @emily-mooon, the current Tumblr CEO of this rarepair. I’ve noticed that their tag is dead and I want to change that so I made this!
This blog will only have posts about them and nothing else. Do not expect anything else cause you won’t get it
Will you get them daily? No you won’t cause that will only last a week or so cause they don’t have many panels together. You will get reblogs of any stuff that is made for them (ie. fanart, text posts, fics when they exist, etc.). Like in the title card thingy, this is more of an archive blog if anything
The ask box is open for headcanon submissions and questions about this ship. It will always be open unless I say I have to close it for whatever reason
Also here’s the playlist I made for them! It has my taste, but I mostly focused on the genres they would like (along with songs and bands)
[As of the creation of this intro post, Nordegrim week will be starting on May 1st and end on May 7th of this year. Please @ this blog so I can see the posts and I’ll reblog them here]
Hope you all enjoy your stay here and I’ll do my best to keep this blog active!!!!
Btw this blog is also a safespace like my main. I will not condone any homophobia, transphobia, racism, sexism, antisemitism, islamophobia, or anything of the sort here. I figure this was important to mention here :]

i have a hard time killing my darlings, i want them alive, so i can make them suffer through the horrors and come out alive and survive them. i struggle because i don’t want to kill off my favorites even though the story needs a death to raise the stakes.
but then this part of me wakes up and goes, you know if you kill (blank) everyone will cry, and it will incredibly impactful for the reader and the story itself because they’re beloved both in the fandom and by the characters alike
