Prompt 245
Now Danny would openly admit, if only to himself, that he had a type when it came to relationships. If they were strong, if they were a threat to him, then chances were he would develop some sort of crush. It was how he had dated Sam and Valerie (And Johnny & Kitty) when he was a bit younger, and hell, Sam had technically succeeded in killing him, even if partly. 
Attraction towards smart people who could kill him was honestly par for the course for a Fenton or Nightingale anyway. 
And he’d also admit he enjoyed a bit of time travel, learning about times and culture long before his time, to the point that he could blend in in ancient times just as easily as the time he had been born in. That it was natural to mutter in a language lost to time. 
So color him surprise when another man perks up in the bar he had paused to get a drink in, vibrant green eyes gleaming in interest and responds in turn. And not just in the language, but able to keep up when he talks about things that once existed but haven’t been rediscovered yet. 
And one thing led to the other, and there might have been some assassins and some shenanigans that end with them both laughing together in an inn and then more and- Okay he has a type alright, and he’s ticking each box! How is that fair?

DC x DP: is Ra’s turning into a Halfa?
So you know how the Lazarus Pits have started losing their effect on Ra’s?
Well what if the reason the pits are losing there effect is because Ra’s is too liminal for it to work any more.
If we take the “Lazarus Water is contaminated ectoplasm” trope and combine it with “long term ectoplasm exposure causes liminalty” trope together, and suppose that a person can only be so liminal before becoming a halfa, then we could assume that Ra’s is close to hitting the liminality threshold that would take him from a liminal human into a halfa.
Thoughts?

Psy's masterpost
Like my writing? Came here for a prompt and wants more? (update: 01.04.24/
I HAVE AO3! PsycholoGeek feel free to look. (I love comments. Just saying 😜)
Writing Tags:
"my additions" (adding to others)
"my writing" (og/long adds)
"my poems" (poems)
Not all my writing is there, of course.
Fic Recs (personal favourites)
Grave Promises - Batman, 2,111 words
Witwat and the Jin - Batman, 2,245 words
Sing Me To Sleep - DP*DC 19k words. Tws in tags. Tim and healing (it gets worse before it gets better. But it gets better.)
Who am I (to disappear) - DC, Cass-centric, 22k words
A list of my fics (complete and WIPs) undercut:
Completed one-shot:
Grave Promises (Batman, 2,111 words) - very important to me. Life, recovery, and disability is not a tragedy. Barbara kill the Joker, but it isn't the focus.(Barbara Gordon focused.)
Do You Understand?  ( Encanto, 330 words).c
Just short of a fairy tale (I told myself that I wouldn't be scared) (Batman, 770 words) - urban fantasy. Jason Todd centric.
Witwat and the Jin (Batman, 2,245 words) - Dami-being-Dami and slowly understandings.
Sing Me To Sleep - DP*DC (19k words). After fired from Robin, Tim had enough. He's done with life. Clockwork said "not today, bitch" and got some good old ectoshot. Ft. Jazz Fenton as an older sister TM and the 3Ds as their usual chaotic selves. (I wrote the second half, chapters 2-6. A bit heavy, but I hope I did well with the subject.)
Hold Them Close -DP*DC (12k words). I wrote the first chapter+Fanart. Danny escaped Vlad and his experiments with bb!Ellie, and flew straight up-up-and above. In the watchtower, our heroes sees a monster and (what they think is) a child in distress. Misunderstandings and whump, with the last quarter of the fic as comfort and fluff :)
Main serieses:
Who am I (to disappear) - David Cain tried to create a weapon. Weapon forge themself into something new. (Many names, they\them Cass). Ft. Kid!Jason Todd, Mayan mythology, and sign language. (Stand alone, technically prequel to "Sweet Dreams", but no need to read.)
Sweet Dreams - (DC, 3 works, 1 complete. ~17k words). Reverse Robins + Badman verse (inspired by @byrambles fic). Batboy's younger brothers were taken by the Batman who defeated his father. Trying to protect them, he promise his loyalty to the newcomer. But even though he assure him he is perfectly trained, and can properly punish the kids to surrender, the man isn't impressed. In which there's Misunderstandings and sadness (first fic). The series deals with trauma and the ongoing issues it causes, and shows how it changes you. TW: Include suicidality+mention of kid's suicidality, flashbacks, mentioned past child sexual abuse, dissociations, Whump and angst with eventual comfort. I don't go in details about their past, but it's important to notice that the first 2 fics contains HEAVY (but non graphic) themes.
Liminal Skills for the Living Dead - also known as "therapy verse". DP x DC xover. AKA Anger Management! Fake dating for fun and profit. Enter family, friends, and Wikipedia explanations of some necessary skills as titles. Jazz is her autistic with anxiety self. Jason is a crime lord with anger management issues.
Or: in which THERE'S THERAPY!! (6 works - 4 are complete. ~30k words)
Lost and Found (if this wings could fly) - also known as "FF AU". DP x DC xover. Jazz and Jason as childhood mutuals. (4 complete works, ~10k in total. more to come)
(also some other things. Feel free to look, ask and comment!)

All Al Ghuls must Die:
Danny is related to the Bat family in a different way: He is Ra’s Al Ghul father or grandfather.(If you include or exclude Lord Deadman)
Danny during a job for Clockwork, Danny travels back in time and meets Ra’s Al Ghul’s mother or grandmother.
They start a relationship and a baby Ra’s is born. Danny during the time period he is in, actually creates a group to protect the Earth from destroying itself calling it the league of Shadows meant to protect humanity.
Danny is actually the protector of the pits as he was the first ones to discover them. He wrote about them in a journal. He knows that these pits are excess ectoplasm leaking through a rift in the Ghost Zone and know how many spirits would love to come back in the living world.
Basically, Danny forbids anyone who isn’t on the verge of death to use these pits as he know that these pits will twist someone’s mind up and give them liminality as well as slight healing and immortality. At some point Ras ‘ mother dies of old age or disappears and Danny has disappeared back into the timeline.
Ra’s discovers his father’s journal and decides to exploit his knowledge to insure he stays in power. He kills all of his father’s loyal followers and erases his father’s legacy from the LOS, rebranding that he created the league.
(Those loyal Followers of Danny’s follow him into the GZ and become his new guards once he is king.)
Years pass and dear old Ra’s has gone a little mad with power.
( Ra’s constant uses the pits, has contaminated it, and is willing to drive anyone to madness. Their treatment to keep the pits from shrinking or drying up is slowly not working anymore, and Ra's must face the eventually that he may die.)

An idea I'm currently playing around:
Basically, what if the GIW changed management and instead of being hindrances to Phantom and Amity Park, they decided to help around. Instead of capturing Liminal People, they train them to control the extra abilities that started appearing. Out of everyone else, the most liminal was Danny's Class who apparently have a lot of secrets.
Now enter the Batman Fandom.
What if the Class became Danny's Court and they're rather well known in school as "The Class that always have a messy field trip", then their class managed to win the Martha Wayne Foundation despite making a mess of it. The Head of the Foundation visited, and secrets unraveled.
Like for example:
Star is apparently Star Al Ghul, Ra's Favorite Grandchild (and by extension, Ra's gained many grandchildren much to his delight and Talia's exasperation)
Paulina is a Luthor
Tucker being related to Commissioner Gordon
Sam being Poison Ivy's little sister (half-sister)
Gotham won't ever be the same once the class is finished with their trip

Danny was immortal... Yeah a shocker right? Well here is the thing. Danny unlike Vlad walks the line between life and dead. He is a pure halfa and he gets the best of both worlds. For example ghosts are immune to human illnesses and humans are immune to ghost illnesses and as such Danny is immune to both ghost and human illnesses. His ghost half protects him from dangerous to his human half substances. His human half helps his ghost half form resistance to Blood Blossoms even if it takes a few good years. And so on and so on.
But most importantly he is immortal. No one walks the line between life and death and stays with regular human lifespan.
Danny had been a hero for over 10 years before he retired. He was simply no longer needed. And when new human villains popped up new heroes popped up as well before Danny had the chance to decide if he wanted to return from retirement.
Danny thought that he was the only in-between walker until he met him. Jason Todd-Wayne. He was young. Young enough to be Danny's grandson. But age didn't matter for in-between walkers. They were immortal after all. What really came as a surprise though was that Jason had no ghost half. He was more like a liminal ability wise yet he walked the very same line Danny does.
Also it came to Danny as no surprise that Jason and his fam are heroes. After all it takes a special kind of person (hero, villain, something in between) to to make someone an in-between walker.
What did catch him by surprise is that absolutely everyone connected to the Batfam thought that he was a civilian. A regular human. Despite the fact that he never actually hid even if he didn't use his abilities when he didn't need to. If he had to he would use them but otherwise no he won't.
Naturally the illusion was broken when he used his abilities. When Ra's Al Ghul thought that it would be funny to capture all of the bats and torture them. Of course Danny has to arrive in his entire Phantom glory. And he has had a century to polish the fighting style he cultivated while being a hero for 10 years.
Ra's never stood a chance. Not against a in-between walker, not against Phantom who has trained across the timelines because Clockwork decided to send him on extended missions. Yes, Ra's has lived for longer, experienced more than Danny will be able to imagine for a while but he has been defeated by Batman more than once, Batman who is a regular human and a child when compared to Ra's. Danny just like Batman is a child when compared to Ra's but he just like the caped detective easily defeats Ra's. But most importantly Danny's body holds more power than Superman's possibly ever could.
So naturally Danny almost literally wiped the floor with Ra's. And that alarmed the Bats and the Birds. An overpowered meta just moped the floor with Ra's when even Superman would be hard-pressed to do so. And the meta clearly did that effortlessly too.

part 15 - we’re all misunderstood
"Me and all my friends, we're all misunderstood. They say we stand for nothing and there's no way we ever could." -Waiting On The World To Change by John Mayer
Masterlist Part 14
Tumblr media
The Watchtower was a marvel of engineering and fortitude, constantly in orbit above Earth among the star-studded void of space.
Just a quick glance out of the meeting hall window had proved to the Regent that her little brother would love it here. He’d inherited the innovative side of Fentonworks more than she, so the combination of one of his obsessions and tech to fiddle with was a dream come true. 
(She’d inherited the ruthlessness of Maddie Fenton.) 
Batman, the Dark Knight her little brother had trusted and the father of her soulmate, tapped away at a tablet in hand before turning his focus to her at ease form, hands clasped behind her back. Wonder Woman stood at her side and Superman at the other. A flanking maneuver it seemed. 
The Regent would’ve been offended if they didn’t consider her a threat, despite her willingness to discuss war prevention between the Infinite Realms and the Living Realm. Her armor alone was meant to be intimidating at first appearance, but it was the woman sealed into it that gave off the vibes of ‘Approach with caution’. She was a Warrior, not a pacifist,and everything she presented about herself was meant to signify that. 
However, the Regent was trained by the Ancient of Peace and would demand a peaceful resolution to a crisis rather than conflict, even if the Liminal had no desire for a battle against the Justice League. 
Constantine was a familiar presence in the room. The Laughing Magician had a soft spot for her little brother, but she felt the claim she had of his soul. It was cracked and missing so many pieces, but it was still a good one. The Sad Trenchcoat Man might’ve been a career drunk and conman, but that didn’t mean he was unnecessarily bad. 
He wouldn’t be here if he was. 
The man in question spoke first, much to the obvious surprise of those present, “How’s Phantom?” 
Her helmet turned to face him down where he sat a few feet away, an unopened flask resting on his thigh, “He is fine. Would you like me to pass on a message?” 
Constantine seemed to relax for a moment before shaking his head, “Nah, the kid bugs me enough.” 
“Regent.” Batman interrupted. “We would appreciate it if you could answer some questions we have regarding some disturbing files we received from Phantom.” 
The Liminal nodded, “I suspected as much. I cannot speak much on behalf of the King or others not present, but I will answer what I can truthfully.” 
“Thank you, My Lady, for your willingness to discuss such things with us.” Wonder Woman offered with sincerity in her words. 
The Regent shook her helmeted head, “I’d rather peace than be across from one another on the battlefield, Princess.” 
“Wisely so.” 
The Knight tapped on his tablet again, a projection of one of the Ghost Files documents spreading across the wall behind the Bat, the man in question returning his attention to her. 
“Why does the King require a Regent?” 
Tumblr media
If Bruce was being honest, which he was, he’d rather be anywhere else than here in the Watchtower about to helm peace talks between the Infinite Realms and Earth. He’d rather be eating dinner with his children, questioning Phantom about Jason’s whereabouts, or even on patrol- anywhere but here. 
It wasn’t even the presence of the armored woman who’d answered in place of the King Constantine had been asked to summon, rather Bruce wanted nothing to do with the Death Energy he felt in lapses radiating from the Regent that felt… cleaner than that of what Ra’s Al Ghul or Talia had. 
Bruce wanted answers. 
But he also wanted to be anywhere but here. 
He supposed it was his self-preservation instincts trying to get him away from the being that’s been summoned, he had no choice but to stay though. 
“The King is too young.” The Regent replied evenly, hands clasped in front of her stomach, much like Diana would when trying to demonstrate that she’s prepared to draw her sword at a given moment. “There is still much for him to learn and experience before he is ready for the Crown.” 
Batman hummed, even though Constantine spluttered in shock- “A kid defeated Pariah Dark in single combat?” 
“Yes.” 
“There are some questions that we would like to have recorded for the record, would you be amenable to this?” Batman interrupts, “We would also discuss public use.” 
Regent nods, helmet tinting a darker green as the Watchtower lights slant across it for a brief moment. “I accept, though there are some answers that are not mine to give.” The woman takes a breath, “I cannot give the identity of the King without his permission, nor can I discuss how or when he died.”
“Is there a particular reason why?” Superman asks. “It is considered taboo to ask a ghost anything related to their death because it can cause them to relieve it.” A pause, “Ghosts, or Ecto-Entites, are a fighting-based culture. They are beings of varying intelligence, thoughts, and emotions- sentient and sapient, much like humans and aliens. Capable of great things, both good and evil.” 
Bruce processed those words, a pit of horror forming in his chest. How many times has this woman said those exact words, hoping for them to be heard? They were eloquent, with the formality that hinted at diplomatic training, but with so much hope that it almost physically hurt. 
Capable of great things, both good and evil. 
Wasn’t that the choice Bruce made every time he put on the cowl? Anytime one of his kids got hurt and he felt such rage in his bones? He made the choice every day to do good and while it may not be great in the broader scale of things, it was to somebody somewhere. That was what it meant to be alive, to have free will, to exist. 
Now he finally understood why Phantom gave him the Ghost Files. 
He needed this. This confrontation of what it means to exist outside of Bats and Birds, the cowl and the mask, as a being. Would Bruce have listened had he not seen the Files? If he hadn’t seen the inhumanity committed upon the inhuman? What evil would he have perpetuated had he refused to listen? 
(Tim might think he had been the only one to watch the video of Danny Fenton’s death.)
(He was wrong.)(What if he hadn’t heard the wail?)(What if he hadn’t seen the rebirth of Fenton to Phantom?) 
Tumblr media
With all the bloodshed the GIW had on their collective hands, they would not go quietly. 
The Regent had emphasized their zealot tendencies, hypocritical ideology perpetuated by the Drs. Fentons and somewhat lackluster training, but exceedingly advanced technology geared explicitly towards Ecto-Entities in her testimony to the Justice League in the hours that followed. Several examples from the Ghost Files were explained and expanded on, including the destruction of the Casper High Gym which resulted in the death of a faculty member and the maiming of a student. Evidence of the town roads being utterly demolished, what looks like the aftermath of war being the norm for the citizens as they try to go about their daily lives. 
She had prepared to discuss all the above, and gone through various questions she’d been expecting from the League, but she had steadfastly avoided thoughts of the GIW’s unethical experimentation. Naturally, the League began this particular section with the Files’ opened to what Danny, Tucker, and Sam had included, a warning issued to all present that what they were about to watch was grotesque and to leave the room if they felt unable to hold the contents of their stomachs. 
The Regent was an older sister, a daughter, a leader, and a warrior- but she was still only able to take so much. (She hadn’t known the Fentons recorded Danny’s Phantom’s vivisection.)
(She hadn’t known they called each other sweetie and fudge-kins while digging in his chest cavity.)
Fury was a familiar enemy and friend in equal breaths, existing in the space between her ribs and her heart, trapped by a cage of bone and will. 
Fury echoed by her mirror image that entered the camera frame, sword first and merciless as she gutted Jack Fenton. 
(Regret was nowhere to be found.)(Shame had no place here.)
“By Realms Law 2127 subsection 32f paragraph 3: liminals, mortals, all in between may be promptly judged and or executed on grounds of threat to End a protector spirit or child. May also be decreed as battlefield law when faced with a sufficiently armed opponent and or external force.” The Regent recited monotonously. “Drs. Fenton also could have been tried for Invasion by opening the portal, but Phantom was able to give them a pardon.” 
“On what grounds?” Wonder Woman questioned, “He is a protector spirit, yes?” 
“Yes, which allowed the previous Law to be enacted and legal. By him acting within Amity Park and using Fenton tech to catch Ghosts, he gave them a pardon by an unspoken alliance.” 
“An alliance they broke,” Batman this time was clearly angry too in his clenched fists were any indication, “when they vivisected Phantom.”
“Yes.” The Regent continued, “Make no mistake, I uphold the Realms Law to the best of my abilities and expect my subjects and my council to do the same. We are a people and people have societies, societies have structures and without that, we would be no better than what the GIW claims us to be.” 
“Well spoken, My Lady.” Wonder Woman complemented, clearly taken by the Regent’s speech. 
“This is all gory and horrifying, but we still haven’t talked about preventing a bloody war.” 
While he’d been quietly observing the meeting, minor mutterings here and there, Constantine remained the only Dark member present. The Regent was somewhat fond of the Sad Man, even without having ownership over his soul (or the majority of shards) he would remain a fond memory for the Nightingales. 
 “My Lady,” the Magician belatedly addressed her, clearly having recalled to whom exactly he was speaking. 
“Constantine,” Batman warned, “we’ll get to that.” 
“Indeed we shall. In fact,” the Regent twirled a hand in a graceful motion “the Anti-Acto Acts is the main point of contention on the docket and allows that,” now she thrust a pointed finger at the Files’ section on ‘experimentation’, “to be legal.” 
“It’s been discussed, previously, to bring these laws before the UN with a censored version of the Ghost Files.” 
The Regent nodded almost immediately, “If you can, yes, but I would recommend leaking some of the data for the public to judge.” 
“Amity Park, for instance?” Superman asked, “Let the public choose a side and put pressure on the UN.” 
“Perhaps.” WW nodded, “Though there is likely chance that blame will be shifted onto the Ghosts solely for the damage.” 
“We can show the footage of the attacks that caused them.” Batman interjected, “As well as the videos of Phantom protecting Amity’s citizens at risk to himself.” 
The Regent agreed, “There are also videos of teenagers practicing drills for Ghost and Ghost Hunter attacks.” 
“What about sitting for an interview for a newspaper?” Superman suggested, “I can get a reputable reporter to conduct it.” 
“That can be done.” 
The Regent felt a slight tug on her Proto-Core, a shiver down her spine to follow- her little brother was trying to summon her back to him. Nothing urgent, not with just a slight tug, not an emergency. 
It had been quite a while here anyway and she missed her boys. 
“I’m afraid I am being summoned for a council meeting.” The Regent announced, “If I am needed again-“ 
She took a breath before turning to Batman, “You May summon me, Dark Knight, through your Lady’s Claim.” 
A friendly handshake with Superman, “Have your reporter meet me in the Ridge next Friday during the Witching Hours.” 
A clasping of arms with Wonder Woman, Warrior to warrior, “When this is settled, I would ask for a spar, Princess.” 
And the Regent was gone in a torrent of icy green-tinted mist. 
Tumblr media
A/N:
Happy new year!
I can't believe it's 2024 already! Feels like I just got used to writing 2023.
As always, thanks to the wonderful beta @meditating-cat, who also let me who use them as a sounding board for ideas for the Regent earlier. I cannot wait to write those ideas, let me tell you.
As always, if you have any song suggestions please feel free to share and check out the masterlist for the rest of the series. It's always updated afterwards!
Thanks for reading!

Mother of the Year (DC x DP)
Here is the link to my DC x DP masterpost, and one of my last notfic I posted here was Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss, Godhood where Danny and Vlad try to manipulate and mansplain their way out of trouble with the JLA.
OK I know we do a lot of John Constantine's soul being owned by King Phantom in this fandom. And that makes sense because it's canon he sells his soul a lot,
but like, hear me out, Talia al Ghul has access to the Pits and has used them multiple times. She has reason to believe she may never die. So, what if in one of her many political manoeuvres she sells her soul for a boon. She doesn't know enough occult to do what John did (sell it to so many people that he can't die because a war would start over who actually got hold of it) but again, she thinks she might be functionally immortal.
But hey, we could even make it not one of her many political manoeuvres. I mean Damian Al Ghul was supposed to be his Grandfather's new body. Why would Ra's care if he got emotional fulfilment by moving to Gotham and training under his dad? Why would he want notorious family-man Bruce to even know about the boy and have him taken to a place Ra's may never be able to extract him from? (Yes in some canon he doesn't know, I am aware thanks).
So, she knows her father's body is failing and she's always been loyal to him (above and beyond what you could imagine FYI non-DC fans) but he'll never let Damian go and in this AU she loves her son more, and so she trades her soul. She trades her mortal soul to the King of Lazarus, the Ruler of Everything Beneath the Water in exchange for Damian's life, for his safe and unnoticed passage to Batman's side and beyond. If her father breaks free of the compulsion not to notice he will kill her without hesitation but if she has failed to secure Damian's safety and mind then she won't care.
Talia tracks down ancient texts held by the All Caste. She makes the trade late at night over her Father's biggest Pit in Nanda Parbat. She thinks the power of the Lazarus Pits will keep her safe but she didn't really read the fine print.
So about a year after Damian goes to meet his Dad, Talia gets Danny in her Assassin bedroom ready to whisk her off. Not to the afterlife, but to Illinois, America. She, as an indebted, quasi-immortal now owes this "'representative'" of the Throne of the Restless Dead near unlimited favours. And the representative's half-ghost clone has just hit a rather... radioactive puberty.
Danny figures that a liminal maternal figure will be invaluable for Dani who is struggling. Sure Sam and Jazz can help sometimes but this girl needs actual raising.
Damian, however, is not impressed that his mother is apparently raising his secret older sister in secrecy on the side when Talia seemingly sent him off to live without her.

I like the DC x DP AUs where the Justice League and Amity Park (and Elmerton by proxy) never noticed each other due to an information blackout. I also find it neat when the idea's taken a step further.
For example, what if the government built Amity Park on insanely haunted land on purpose? Let's say, years ago, the whole LoA and Ra's Al Ghul situation made the U.S government curious about Lazarus water. They wished to find it's source in order to harvest it themselves.
The U.S preferred to avoid Lazarus pools that already existed to prevent conflict with the LoA. Instead, they decided to seek out the perfect location to "dig a well" of their own.
GIW scientists established that Lazarus water, a heavily condensed version of ectoplasm, was linked to ghosts and other ectoplasmic entities. They also observed that these entities are highly attracted to human populated areas.
This gave them the idea to settle a whole population of people on a liminal hotspot to lure ecto entities into the human realm. With the Anti Ecto Acts in place, the GIW were be free to capture ghosts and other creatures for their ectoplasm. The end goal was for the Fenton portal to be used as a well to harvest mass quantities of ectoplasm directly from the Infinite Realms.
How might this work for Amity Park and it's place in the world?
The information blackout is heavier outside the Amity-Elmerton territory than inside. Amity residents are only cut off from info that could threaten the government project (EX: the existence of real life superheroes, the Meta Protection Acts, certain major events, etc.).
All devices that enter the Amity-Elmerton territory are unable to send or receive video/pics of the above "blocked" topics. In fact, it's difficult for social media users within that territory to connect with any posts or profiles from outside unless they look hard enough.
Amity residents are still allowed to travel, but airline ticket prices are jacked ridiculously high, especially for specific destinations (i.e: common superhero locations) to deter those residents from going there. GPS devices and maps bought in Amity or Elmerton are also set to misdirect users away from these same locations if they opt for a road trip.
Most Amity-Elmerton residents hardly bother leaving at all since there's a hefty fee for crossing beyond a set perimeter. They've all been lead to believe this is a normal part of traveling in the Midwest.
To everyone outside the Amity-Elmerton area, that area is virtually non-existent. It's not listed on any map, globe, or basically any public geolocation tool outside those provided in Amity (not even Google Maps). The only hints of it existing are in certain forms of documentation, such as birth certificates and tax forms. Even then, these people are hard to come by.
At most, Amity Park is a little known myth where people occasionally debate on it's existence.
In general, the government limiting Amity-Elmerton residents access to outside info while giving them just enough to stave off suspicion.

Prompt 170
Once again on my Ras & Danny being training rivals thanks to time travel bullshit. 
Look, Danny knows about the league of Assassins, but he almost dies of laughter when he realizes it’s the modern name of the league of Shadows. He’s an adult now, has been for a while, he’s allowed to find the situation he’s found himself in amusing. Hell, his sparring buddy who is somehow still alive is laughing too. 
And no one else knows what’s going on, okay? This random man walked into their secret base, completely ignored the many assassins trying to stop him, and called their illustrious leader a “Little Bitch Man” and they are now fighting?
The fighting is familiar, but why the fuck is Ras cackling and saying things like “Ayreh Feek” back. Practically saying “Fuck you,” while laughing and oh Pit, they’re Bantering this is terrifying, why has Ras not won yet, why has this man not died yet and- bodies aren’t supposed to bend like that what the fuck- 
Ras on the other hand, has One friend, who is immortal like him, actually remembers the shit he complains about, is also down for saving endangered animals, and actually knows how to spar! It’s not a proper spar unless someone loses at least a hand that has to be reattached! And honestly, people nowadays should know that the proper greeting to an old friend is to instantly try to kill the other.

FINALLY DREW SCAREBEAST (Well- a rough sketch anyways) XD
Tumblr media
I tried tbh but ye, this is how I imagined Scarebeast for my version of Jonathan! I Drew Jonny boy and Danny as a height ref (Though, I accidentally drew Danny shorter than he should be-)
Some quick note rambles.
Danny's gonna be the shortest in the family till he hits 18 where he gets a late growth spurt bringing him up to Jonny boy's height. Fentons have late growth spurts while the Keeny family tends to have their growth spurt early on.
For Jonathan, transforming into the Scarebeast had always been painful. But the longer he remains in contact with Danny especially, the transformation becomes painless due to the ambient ectoplasm the kid generates turning Jonny liminal (Not to the extent of any other Amity Parkers or Jazz (who has the highest liminal level-) but it would take a while- even with Danny being around. Jack and Maddie have grown immune to ambient ectoplasm- doesn't help they have Hazzmat suits on all the time which stopped them from being as exposed-)
Jonny in Scarebeast mode can release its own strain of Fear Toxin. A sort of mix between all the versions Jonathan made of the toxin over the years that he's been exposed to personally (which is all of them- part of the reason why he managed to develop Scarebeast by accident). Not particularly the strongest but its effects can last a lot longer and even when given the antidote, it lingers from a week to even a month.
Jonny cannot fly as Scarebeast. He does like being up in tall places and would climb there, though.
DO NOT LET SCAREBEAST MEET MAN-BAT, IT WILL NOT GO WELL FOR ANYONE. Same goes for Goliath the Dragon Bat or, some of the Clayfaces, and, unsurprisingly by all means, Joker. Get's hostile if Ra's Al Ghul is near but won't outright attack. Scarebeast does get along with Killer Croc though despite not being part of his murder. Scarebeast is rather wary of Bane, Ivy and Mr. Freeze, though.
Scarebeast is very affectionate to the members of its murder when it thinks there is no danger. Might as well be an overgrown cat with mothering tendencies even when it's a crow. Will play fight with Danny when he's in ghost form. This applies to Ellie as well. It will try to fight Jazz when especially bored but doesn't go too hard due to sensing her being human- even if she's liminal.
Likes to lay on top of its murder members, especially Edward. ["I love you Jon but GET OFF MY FACE!" "Krrrrrrrr" "... Guess this is my life now."] Will gift its fallen feathers to them as well.
Some of the hideouts and bases Jonathan has included a huge straw nest somewhere for when he's Scarebeast.

current update poll!
Disclaimer: for some of those, the next chapter isn't fully written/beta'd, so I may go with the second highest option for next week's update.
more about the fanfics/options:
Who Am I - Cass POV. From childhood with Cain, to living with a family, to losing everything and then gaining a family, once again, with the Waynes.
Some of Them - Reverse Robins, in which they were saved from abusive Bad!man by a good!batman. Unfortunately, Damian didn't get the memo (and even if he did - trauma tend to shape the way you see the works.
#2 in the "Sweet Dreams" series. Damian whump. In which the author remember, again, about reading "The Body Keeps the Score".
Lost and Found Verse:
Jazz Fenton and Jason Todd used to be mutuals, writing fanfics and commenting on eachother's, chatting about life, etc. It all ended when Jason disappeared mysteriously after running away. The first arc ("Lost") is finished: What came before and after. Life and recovery and friendship and losing yourself, but starting to find.
The second part "Found" would include 3 different AUs/ways it can go:
1.The Cyclist (temporary name): After his world tour, but before Red Hood, Jason ends up in a small town with a familiar name. Jazz, who struggle to balance school-2 jobs-and-parenting, meet a stranger in the library.
2. Lab Rat (temp. name)- When Jazz catch the Fentons vivisect Danny, ahe take him and run. Who could she turn for help?
3. Not Broken (temp.name) - Jazz got a scholarship to Gotham University. Now she's a single mom to 4 years old Dani, guardian to 16 yo Danny, and a... parol officer sister to Dan. It's August, and her stupid boss won't even let her take the day off to properly grieve. (It's the first August she can't get her old friend's birthday for herself, and she can't stop crying.)
Meg (side fic in "Liminal Skills" series)- "two undead diverge in a yellow wearhouse". In which there's a gunfire, some common sense, a smartass street kid, and bats.

I just realize that if Bruce is Sam’s descendant (from this link), then so is Damian. But Damian is a mix of decade old bloodlines that mutated like fine wine along with the al Ghul line that are far more recent and exposed daily to the Lazars pit.
So I’m a add that at age twelve (because, you know, he dies) Damian starts to gain the powers of a Halfa because of how strongly mutated his body is to being in sync with the ectoplasm in his body. It doesn’t help that Gotham is a city that radiant Death and that he trains and consumes the Lazaras Pit. That my friends are how Damian became the unstoppable force of natura that only Bruce can contain because he is of the same blood, hence, the same mutation (for now).
On another note, I find it funny that I made Constatine as a descendant as well, not because of his occupant but imagine this man thinking he screwed his human body up and down only to realizes he was never human in the first place and should have died a long time ago if he didn’t have the Ghost King’s protection seal on him. That was the only reason why he was given deals instead of killed outright by the many supernatural creatures out there.
I would find it funny once that Constatine finds out that he would try his best to stay out of trouble that bad enough for the Ghost King to interfere or would get reckless just to male over the protection seal he gotten which does not help Danny’s blood pressure.
I have no clue who I want Val’s descendant to be, but I would find it funny no matter who it is because Sam’s bloodline raising Val’s? Nightmare. Although I would like to think it is not Cass because that means Cass is that naturally gifted that she is able to trick the senses of a Liminal
Oh I know I said that Wes has like three main families, right? Well Barry is one of them so that would make Bart apart of that too. Maybe that's why they could go through the time stream because of uncle Clockwork. Yeah but any was I would defntly add Roy Harper being a part of the bloodline along with Lois Lane. Those are the Wes main bloodline families. 
oh..... OH. LIAN HARPER AND JON KENT! THIS JUST GETS BETTER AND BETTER!!!!! AHAHAHAHAHHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH GOSH, NO GENERATION OF HEROES ARE SAFE NOW!
Danny is the one person hoping that none of their children becomes heroes and then they all just flat out said nope and became heroes anyways. 
Everyone is proud of Dinah expect Danny. He wants to chuck something out from the plain of existence. 
Billy’s magic would defiantly be influenced by the mutation to be very strong, but the thing is that Billy’s magic is stronger when he is human then being Captain Marvel because of the mutation and Billy has no clue of this because he always uses bigger spells as Captain Marvel rather than as Billy. 
Oh! Two bloodlines that got hit by lighting and have lighting scars like Danny! How does it feel Danny? How does it feel for some of these descendants to have the same scar you have that was left after your death. Danny is just happy they are alive. 
(Funny idea, maybe the great grandparents want to make Danny’s life harder and made him do a banquet partly to see their many great grandchildren because how they all seem to become heroes and partly to annoy the shit out of Danny. 
Then we have the chaos of having the Justic League trying to figure out why an odd number of heroes and family members of those heroes were invited towards the Ghost King’s banquet. But because the invitation was so random to different heroes that don’t have a clear connection other than being a part of the Justic League in some way frys their brains.)

Fandom (dpxdc) Thought 2.5:
Context: Halfa!Jason Todd, ghosts communicate through emotions, liminals can do it to a lesser extent
Jason unknowingly keeps trying to push emotions to his family, not realizing he’s trying to communicate. With his family’s awkward outward reactions combined with the lack of response to his core, he feels isolated. Even thought it’s an accident on both ends, it has an effect on him.
To make it a bit worse, the batfam is liminal with all the death in the family and Lazarus exposure. They accidentally reject the emotional conversation from Jason’s core, so neither party knows why Jason is so on edge, but they don’t push for answers.
Danny (bad reveal, good reveal, literally Just Vibing in Gotham—whatever works) hears Damian’s core humming or trying to trill/chirp, and of course he has to help the sick liminal/baby-halfa core. With a LOT of bonding, Danny gets Damian to drink some healthy ectoplasm, and he feels a lot better. He even brings Jason over, knowing the connection to the Pit was stronger in his older brother and wanting to extend an olive branch after the… everything.
Once Jason starts feeling better and Frostbite is brought into the conversation, Damian realizes he can’t hide this from Bruce forever. And, with how many people in his family—hell, his contact list—had been exposed to the Lazarus pit, or gotten caught up in time shenanigans, or had been killed, it was best everyone knew. With Danny’s only request being “say I’m a meta instead of a ghost,” Damian goes to his father’s study.
(Forgive the ooc/awkwardness I don’t normally write fanfic lmao)
Damian entered Bruce’s study. “Father. I have something to inform you of. We have made a terrible mistake with Jason.”
Bruce’s train of thought pauses at hearing his youngest call Jason “Jason” instead of “Todd.” He looks up from his WE paperwork. “What is it, chum? Is he okay? Are you okay?”
“We are both well, Father. It is…” He grimaced and visibly tensed. “You have to promise to not be angry with me.”
Bruce raised an eyebrow at hearing his youngest say such a “childish” phrase. “I will do my best. I’ll at least let you finish talking first.”
He knew this was the right thing to say when Damian relaxed slightly. Therapy was a wonder.
“Um…”
Oh. Oh no. Damian Al-Ghul-Wayne was not one for uncertainty—especially not in a conversation he started.
“Go on, lad, I’m listening,” Bruce said in as gentle a tone as he could (without getting too patronizing for his proud little Robin).
“I met a meta of a ghostly nature. He assessed that there was Lazarus Water in my body, and when he replaced it—“
“He what.”
“You said you’d let me finish.”
Bruce pulled out a notepad, jotting down bullet points to return to.
[Pit in Damian?? REPLACED?? Unknown ghost meta]
“Once he replaced it with the healthy alternative, I found…” He swallowed. “I found that I could more easily accept and show love. My time in the League played a part, of course. However, the Lazarus Pit had an effect on me as well, latching onto my desire to be worthy of a place here. I essentially have a rudimentary organ that runs on and communicates via emotion. Jason does as well, and his is stronger than mine. We have unknowingly been rejecting this more emotional form of communication, making him feel unaccepted and misunderstood.”
[emotional organ??? Accidental rejection? Possible to learn emotion communication?]
Damian shifted his weight under his father’s intense and worried Interrogation Glare™️. “Now that we know the problem, and are attempting to rectify it, we feel much better. Due to everyone around us being exposed to death, the Pit, or time travel, Jason, the meta, and myself thought it best if everyone was made aware. Our meta friend has a doctor who has specialized in this organ and the culture surrounding it for decades. He can apparently better help us manage our health alongside a regular physician.”
[meta doctor. Contact… everyone]
Bruce set his pen down and didn’t move for a few moments. “Are you finished?”
Damian nodded. “Are you angry?”
Bruce let out a long breath, closing his eyes. “I can never tell. Fear and rage feel a lot alike when it comes to protecting my family and my city. You’ve gone against a lot of my training, which displeases me, but I still love you, and I always will. We’ll see what your punishment is when I get more details. I don’t want to punish you for good outcomes, but the methods are important, especially in our work and at your age—“
“You can stop now, Father. I understand now what Drake means when he says he doesn’t know how to respond to the sincerity therapy has given you. I’ll gather the family for a debrief.”
Bruce opened his eyes to see his youngest wincing a little at the emotional vulnerability, but something else caught his attention.
His son’s green eyes faded to blue.

Family is not an Important Thing. It's Everything
