Fake Cryptids, Real Ghosts
Ok, so dp x dc/batfam because this AU has me by the throat but what if it's the fake cryptid batfamily AU who never joined the JL.
Just...imagine it. The Batfamily has been protecting Gotham quietly but fiercely by scaring the daylights out of criminals as creatures that go bump in the night. A bit of stage magic, frightening method acting, contortion, a whole language comprised of chirps, growls, and body language, and the best tech possible and you've got a recipe for striking fear into the hearts of everyone.
They've got shrines on the rooftops, vaguely on the JL radar (Cause really, who's gonna believe that Gotham, one of the worst cities has a demon problem? Constantine? Homeboy took one look at Gotham and went Nope.) and they're protected cause any self respecting Gothamite wouldn't go spilling the beans to Outsiders. The Bats keep them safe. Who would believe them anyways?
Enter half dead, half alive Danny Fenton.
Danny Fenton who has a best friend's named Tucker and Sam who find out about the Gotham Cryptids, and go absolutely ham on research because here lies something,a bunch of someone's who are Other. Maybe they're creepy but they're cool and they're Heroes and they help people.
Sure, at first it was an attempt from Sam and Tucker to help their best friend feel less alone in the face of other, more 'normal' heroes and people out there in the world. Maybe they try to further bury the Bats online cause if anyone understands keeping on the down low, it would be Amity Parker's. For awhile, Danny Fenton, sometimes Phantom is simply happy to know he's not alone.
Then he's outed and his sister who's long since been ecto-contaiminated is put at risk there's nowhere that seems safer. Gotham is a chaotic city, even without the Bats factoring in. After all Gotham has (Demons-Spirits-Creatures?) The Bats already. Who would care if a halfa and his sister hide out there? As long as they're respectful of their territory, it'll be fine right? Besides, they've got to warn the Bats anyways about the GIW and government. They're coming after ghosts, who knows if they'll be next? Spooky things have to look out for each other after all.
Cue shenanigans as Phantom who stops hiding all of his creepier traits as a ghost walks up to the Totally Human but Faking it Batman with really thoughtful gifts for all of their shrines (And one fruitcake), no heartbeat and an earnest plea for a safe haven in their Haunt because the Ancients taught him manners and the importance of respecting another entities territory.

Drew @themeeplord’s cryptid sun/moon interpretations, or variations thereof :D
Originally based on @naffeclipse’s Cryptid Sightings ^^
Meep, I know I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again: I really love your designs, they’re so skrunkly!! <3
I’ve also discovered they’re super fun to draw and though I took a few creative liberties here and there (especially with the 2nd one), I still hope I did them justice :3

this was supposed to just be a little doodle to test a brush... and because I liked @sapphicseasapphire 's criptid designs, but I a) got carried away and b) lost the reference during lineart phase </3
I was gonna draw legend but I never give hyrule any art attention

I've always had a very firm image of @naffeclipse's cryptid boys in my head! And finally I have been inspired to draw them!
I absolutely adore your cryptid boy(s) Naff! I grasped onto every little detail provided to us, I have craved to know more about their appearance the entire time I've read! And the more revealed the more I bounce in my seat at them matching how I view them in my head <3 I adore them so much! Thank you for the amazing story and your stunning way of description! I am floored by your ability with every new chapter! <3

sooo, I just got back from camping, and I saw this weird deer in the woods? she had this perfectly quaffed hairdo... wasn't acting weird or anything, but there was no other people within 10 miles... it kinda smelled like incense and manic panic....
