I have a simple fascination and joy in the thought that, for the Ghost King AU, most of the time Danny is literally so normal compared to other ghosts.
Like, he’s a kid. He looks like a kid. Going by canon appearances, he is the most human looking ghost we see (aside from Ellie). Even Plasmius is more inhuman, which is where all the vampire jokes come from. Every single one of this enemies is off even in a human disguise. They’re not human, and people don’t expect them to be.
So aside from the implications of Danny looking like a child ghost, I wonder what other characters would think if they summon the Ghost King, expecting this huge monstrosity worse than anything they’ve ever seen, and getting a totally normal human-looking kid.
I’d be terrified. Because if horror movies have taught us anything, it’s that the most innocent and normal looking people are the worst monsters you’ve ever seen.
Like, what is he hiding??

Kaeya had always been an efficient and hard-working individual (he had to be to support Diluc in the background as his brother rose thru the ranks after all).
He has so much free time because he completes all his work way ahead of schedule. And if he still has enough time, he adds more to the workload in secret.
And once all of that was done and over with, he makes time for everyone. He has to. He feels as if every moment has to be given to someone else.
No one knows how he does it. No one has to know.
Every mission has a dozen strategies in line, and every battle plan is made with efficiency in mind. His perfect record will not be tarnished. He can't risk it (even if it baffles others that he would willingly activate a ruin guard just to prevent a failed mission. Jean disagrees with his methods, but Kaeya can say that the results say otherwise)
He needs to be quick.
Efficient.
Perfect.
And so he comes and goes like the wind.
Kaeya values time because he knew every second counted. He can't just stand there as if he were frozen. Time could run out in an instant.
Kaeya had only been late once his entire life.
He'd rather he never be late ever again.
It took one day of being of being imperfect for everything to fall apart. On that tragic day...had he gotten there on time... then maybe...
.
.
.
" Come on, let's get moving, traveler. We're not frozen in place after all. " Kaeya teasingly says. He stiffles a giggle at the traveler's exhasperated sigh.
"Yeah yeah, we've heard enough of you calling us a slacker. Can't you be a bit more patient?" Paimon whines at him.
Kaeya snorts, but acquiesces, hiding the shaking of his hands at the thought of being idle.
He imagines hearing a clock ticking.
Kaeya knows that that is his own problem. He tries his hardest to relax as he waits for the traveler to finish whatever they're making on the alchemy table because, seriously, it is supposed to be a relaxing day. There's nothing major going on, and his schedule is once again empty as intended. What's the hurry?
Kaeya taps his foot on the ground as he waits. He wishes he could take his own damn advice when he tells others to relax.

bakugou must be so high-strung and on edge when he comes back from a long term underground mission 🥺
doesn't sleep well in his own bed for the first week or two, doesn't eat as much as he typically does. probably has lost some weight, even. if you speak too loudly, it has him gritting his jaw on instinct, and he's so jumpy about you touching him, even though he's more aware of you than he ever is. he's quiet typically, but all your attempts at conversation are met with little grunts or one word answers.
it's rough for you both and he knows he's being less than pleasant, but it just takes time to melt back into the comfort of being home 🥺

DP x MCU crossover
Sometime after Howard and Maria Stark’s death, Hydra decides to try and make a clone of Tony Stark, that’s infused with Super Soldier serum. They were hoping to get a super smart super soldier that they could control.
And thus Danny was born.
At some point when he’s like 2 or 3 one of the Hydra agents whose been his handler since he was born grows a conscious after witnessing the most recent experiment the other scientists in the lab put Danny through. They take Danny and run away from the lab. They don’t get away clean tho, they had to fight their way out of the lab and they were injured in the process. They wind up in Amity Park with baby Danny and come across the Fenton Parents. They hand Danny over to them and tell them to protect and look after the kid. And then they die.
The Fenton parents adopt Danny and raise him as their own. Danny grows up not knowing he’s adopted or that he’s a clone and a super soldier. The ghost portal accident happens when he’s 14 like cannon. The reason he survived and only half died is because of the super soldier serum in his blood.
Eventually, after the whole events of the Danny Phantom series has passed (minus Phantom Planet because fuck that horrible ending to the series). Danny, after defeating Pariah Dark, is now the king of the ghost zone. He still doesn’t realize he’s a clone of Tony Stark. Despite the fact that he looks exactly like a 17 year old version of the man!!!
And then New York happens. A portal opens up in the skies above New York, and aliens come pouring out of it! You bet your ass Danny hightailed it over to New York to help out the group of heroes that were trying to stop the aliens. He’s super hyped to fight aliens!!! He’s just having a blast zooming through the skies of New York, around skyscrapers, throwing punches and ecto-blasts at aliens, helping out the other heroes.
Meanwhile every time he helps one of the Avengers they all double take when they finally get a look at his face. Cause like yes this floating glowing child has glowing green eyes and Snow White hair, but the rest of his face looks like a very young Tony Stark. After each encounter with the boy the different Avengers call Tony over the coms to ask his status and to reassure themselves that Tony hadn’t been de-aged and given super powers mid battle.
Tony is the last one of them that meets Danny. He’s super annoyed at the fact everyone keeps calling him over the coms to ask his status. Like yeah he’s not a super soldier and doesn’t have powers, but neither does Romanoff or Barton!!! And unlike them he has his own super suit to protect him. So why is everyone calling in to check on him?!!!
And then finally Danny comes zooming around a building chasing after Loki’s chariot, shouting sarcastic quips at the god, while firing green blasts from his fists. And Tony just kind of blue screens for a minute. Jarvis has to take over piloting the suit for a minute while Tony reboots. He’s def got the surprised Pikachu face going on. Finally he reboots but Danny’s already flown off to deal with something else.
The battle comes to an end, the portal closes, the world is safe, and all the Avengers all head towards Stark tower. Danny sees them and where they’re headed and decides to meet them there. He’s been the only super hero around for a while and he wants to actually properly interact with these new hero’s!
Imagine his shock when he actually finally comes face to face with Tony Stark and finally realizes how much he looks like the man. He starts panicking thinking his mom had an affair with the man 17 years ago and just passed him off as Jack Fenton’s son.
Absolute chaos ensues as assumptions are made. DNA tests happen. They realize that no he is not Tony’s kid, he’s Tony’s clone. More assumptions are made. No body is having a good time.

18. family
It is night, the starlight outside streams onto the walls and ceiling in shimmering showers and Elain is tucked in her bed. Outside in the streets, people are watching the stars, and Feyre is teaching her son how to fly and Elain is thinking of her grandmother.
It is a thought trickling in from the aftermath of a conversation reminiscing Rhysand’s mother, sharing cherished memories of her over dinner as Morrigan and the three males told Nyx of his grandmother. Elain’s nephew grasped her hand after dinner, and told her he’d have liked to meet her one day. Elain is a little sorry for him, for being robbed of the experience to bask in the love grandmothers had for their grandchildren.
At first, it doesn’t occur to Elain to tell him about his other grandmother—see, it often escapes her that their human lives, though ended, are part of who they are still and that even if they’ve abandoned them, then they have not. It is part of who Elain is; her memories of childhood are her grandmother’s doting attention and mother’s soft hands cupping her cheeks. She is a mosaic of their love, of everyone who ever has.
So she lies there in her bed, recalling a stray hand fixing a ribbon in her hair and a deep voice greeting her good-morning. The smell of sea on Father’s coat and the scent of jasmine oil that her grandmother would rub on her wrists. Mother walking with her in the gardens, listening to Elain talk about all the flowers in there.
Granted, Elain’s experiences with her guardians have been somewhat superficial, and no-where near the visceral closeness that Rhys’s family holds each other to but Elain remembers their affections, holds it near and dear to her heart even if she has been doted upon like a pretty doll because none of them are left to dote on her anymore, and Elain’s only surviving family are her two sisters and nephew.
Outside, Nyx laughs. He’s grown so much; a proud young boy who dotes on his aunts every waking moment and seeks his uncles whenever he has the time—Elain’s never imagined before that she’d ever hold any of her sisters’ children so close to her heart: she used to think they’d be limited to tea-time, and fond exchange of letters and invitations to balls and social functions. She hadn’t imagined that anytime in her future she’d be giving her nephew baths, helping him walk and talk and eat his first meals, or that Nyx would come running through the house at the end of the day to throw his long arms around her and crush her body against his tall and quickly-growing frame. Soon, Elain suspects he’ll surpass their height, and he’ll be carrying her around like feather-weight for the sake of it.
Elain often laments losing everything she’s ever known, being thrown in the Cauldron and handed all the burdens she’s been. Eternity is a terrifying prospect. But finding this love more than makes up for it, in her simple regard.
