tales of the passerine - danny fenton being bruce wayne's first kid

okay okay. so this is like a continuation/elaboration of my oneshot/prompt i wrote about the idea that Danny was the first batkid. We have a lot of aus where he joins the family after the rest of the bats do, right? So hey! Lets shake things up a bit. Danny is the first to be adopted by Bruce Wayne.

Danny's parents and unfortunately Jazz die shortly after the events of TUE -- how so? I was gonna say an ecto-filter explosion, that would call back to the TUE explosion and trauma behind that. But lets do something new! Carbon-monoxide poisoning.

It's not too unexpected for something to break in the Fenton house, especially with the Fenton parents' questionable understanding of proper weapon handling and lab safety. The water heater broke from a stray shot by one of the weapons, and was promptly MacGyver'd incorrectly. Danny went to stay with Tucker for a guys' night, and came back to a dead silent house.

(Danny's neighbors got a very unfortunate shock when he ran to the next house over in hysterics.)

There was a lot of shuffling around with CPS, the police. People had to be called in to handle the equipment in the lab, and the GIW was rumoring to show up in aid to clearing the scene. When Danny heard of that, he immediately went and dismantled the ghost portal to the best of his abilities. He burned the physical blueprints of all his parents' inventions, their blueprints on the ghost portal, and their most dangerous weapons were destroyed beyond recognition. Anything to prevent the GIW from getting their hands on his parents' tech.

It opened up another investigation, but he was not under the list of suspects. He was placed in the care of Vlad Masters, where they then went back to the rebuilt castle mansion in Wisconsin. Danny, terrified of the future that has once passed and may do so again, shuts down in his grief. Inadvertently, he ends up somewhat repressing his ghost half. Something Vlad, who is grieving Madeline but relishing in Jack's demise and his custody of Daniel, is not very happy with.

Vlad's... gone into a bit of a mental health spiral. He's becoming increasingly possessive over Daniel, the final remnants of his friends and a liminal being like him. He doesn't like that Danny's repressing his ghost half -- both out of genuine concern as a ghost, but also because of his desire to control Danny and groom him into the perfect son. If you ever had a phase where you read Dark SBI found family fics, first off; me too bro, and second off; those are the vibes I'm thinking of.

Danny's mentally shut down from grief! And fear. He's dropped into a bad depressive state -- paralyzed with grief and the terror of the inevitable. Clockwork saved his parents because he believes in second chances, but what's the point of that when his family ended up dead anyways? Danny doesn't wanna believe that he's destined to become evil, and he's holding out onto that hope, but it's a thin line, and he feels utterly hopeless and trapped. He hasn't used his powers or ghost form since he trashed the lab, and Vlad has alarms set up to prevent him from trying to escape.

He's also unintentionally cut off Sam and Tucker -- both of whom are so scared and concerned for Danny too, and are trying their damndest to reach out to him. He keeps ignoring their texts. Danny basically haunts Vlad's manor. He goes out to eat if he has to, attends parties Vlad drags him to, and stays in his room all day if he can.

At parties, Vlad doesn't allow Danny to leave his side, or really talk to anyone -- not that Danny wants to. A product of Vlad's increasing possessiveness. Well, he almost doesn't let Danny leave his side. Danny has a habit of slipping off to hide somewhere for the parties whenever he can, and Vlad reluctantly allows it so long as he stays alone.

This becomes an advantage when eventually, Bruce Wayne returns to Gotham after missing for years, and holds a bright charity ball to celebrate the return. Vlad has been chomping at the bits to get his hands on Wayne Industries, and with the return of its owner there is no better opportunity to wipe out his rival. He goes, and he as normal, brings Daniel with him.

Vlad thinks Wayne will bleed his little heart out for Daniel's poor orphan sob story -- he's a fellow orphan himself, after all. He's not wrong; Wayne's little heart will bleed, just not in the way that benefits him.

Bruce sees Vlad and Danny approaching before they're even close enough to introduce themselves - and like with many of the children he will soon come to care for, it's like someone set a mirror into the past right in front of him.

Danny Fenton's suit is tailor-made for him, and despite the fact that it's his perfect size, the sag in his shoulders, the ducked down head, and the way he hunches into himself all pictures the image of a child in shoes too big for him. There's a far away, glazed over look in his eyes and grief marble-cut into the lines of his face. There's not enough makeup in the world that will hide the dark circles under his eyes.

("My nephew, Daniel Fenton." Vlad's hands are possessive on Danny's shoulders. Bruce immediately notices the way the boy tenses under his touch. "His parents passed recently, and as his godfather I was designated his guardian.") ("I'm so sorry, the loss must've been terrible.") ("Yes, carbon-monoxide poisoning caused it. Daniel was out with friends, when he came home... they had already passed.") (Bruce immediately dislikes that Vlad shared the details of their death unprompted -- he likes it even less when Danny flinches at the reminder and hunches into himself.)

Danny runs off at some point earlier into the charity. At this point, parties are still being held at Wayne Manor (because iirc google search mentioned that was a thing at first before it was changed), so he disappears and hides in one of the empty rooms nearby. It just so happens to be the same room Bruce Wayne hides in when he needs a break from all of the socialization.

Thus begins a long, long process of trust. Bruce can't reveal his hand as being smarter than he looks, but he can be compassionate. Kindness needs no measure of intelligence. He keeps Danny company for as long as he can before he runs the risk of being found.

Rinse and repeat. Vlad insistently wants Wayne Industries, and he'll go to as many Wayne parties as he can to get his hooks into the man. The problem is that Bruce Wayne is never alone, and getting him alone is impossible. Finding him too. It's like the man never stops moving. Always talking to someone, always circling somewhere. He orbits around the room as if he isn't the sun of the Gotham Elite's solar system.

Danny's had such repetitive behavior that Vlad never thinks to believe that Bruce Wayne is disappearing to go talk to him. That "Vlad's" son is even interacting with him at all. Danny never gives him a reason to think so, and neither does Bruce.

Danny doesn't actually acknowledge Bruce until a handful of parties in, where he hands Bruce a small slip of paper he smuggled in that says; "don't trust Vlad". Danny's face stays carefully blank, but he's so tense that his hands are trembling, and he's purposely looking away from him. Bruce plasters a smile onto his face, slips the paper into his pocket, and tells him "okay".

(he's been busy with his own goals with the mafia, but he sets aside time to investigate Vlad Masters. He was holding off. Until now.)

Danny does eventually start speaking to Bruce, he's starting to really like the guy. He's starting to see a little hope, even as Vlad is starting to get more and more agitated with him the more he refuses to use his powers.

He reaches out to Sam and Tucker again, and starts trying to reconnect with them. Vlad has spyware on his phone, and he limits the amount of times he can talk to them. A weird parental control lock of some sort that leaves a time limit on how long he can talk to them for. 30 minutes. Danny doesn't tell them anything about Mr. Wayne.

Danny, slowly, wants out of here, and he's slowly gathering the motivation to do it. Vlad is genuinely scaring him -- and Danny wonders just how truthful the past-future Vlad was when he told him that Danny wanted his ghost half separate. He starts trying to come up with an escape plan.

Vlad has anti-ghost wards everywhere around the mansion, and while they're always on, they boost to full power at sunset. The doors and windows are always locked, all main exits have alarms set on them. The only reason it's not super extensive is because Danny hasn't tried leaving at all yet, so Vlad hasn't had to tighten anything.

At night, Vlad locks the door to his room and puts up an anti-ghost ward around the room. The mansion is on the outside westward side of Madison, more entrenched in rural Wisconsin. The closest town is a four-way stop sign with one house on three corners, and an open bar on the fourth. Not much to go.

He refuses to go to Sam and Tucker; Vlad would look there first. It's too dangerous. Vlad would sound alarm bells and have a manhunt looking for him, Danny can't risk going just anywhere. Too much risk of being found, sold out, or caught. There's really nowhere for him to hide.

Until there is. Bruce is telling Danny about the history of Wayne Manor, and says, as casually as saying the weather; "The manor has dozens of empty rooms, I'm sure Alfred wouldn't mind filling another one if he could." And quietly, hesitantly, Bruce places a careful hand on Danny's shoulder, unrestrictive and gentle; "He wouldn't mind getting one ready for you if you need one."

And there it is. There's his out.

Danny, just as quietly, replies; "I'll keep that in mind."

The ball starts rolling.

Now I've been trying to summarize this au as much as possible for length convenience, but Vlad has been steadily growing more and more controlling. More emotionally manipulative. More agitated at Danny for not using his powers.

He wants Wayne Industries under his thumb but he's been steadily growing more and more concerned with Danny. He's started grabbing him, yanking him around, shaking him; trying to goad him into using his powers. He gets angry when Danny doesn't react, or tells him he doesn't want to use his powers. He hasn't outright attacked him, but he's getting there. This has been happening over the time it takes for Bruce to indirectly offer Danny sanctuary at his home.

It all comes to a head when Vlad stops going to parties at all -- something Danny has to pretend he isn't upset about -- because Vlad doesn't want him around other people anymore. Vlad rarely goes now without him, and only leaves to go to a Wayne function or to handle something at VladCo.

Danny can't wait for Vlad to leave long enough to escape. So he leaves during the night of a big storm. Vlad's locked him in his room, but Danny doesn't bother trying to go for it; he goes to the alarmed window instead. Danny's been repressing his ghost half so long that he can't access his powers immediately anymore -- he can feel it, he knows its there, but he can't quite reach it.

He breaks the lock by hand.

Immediately the alarm goes off through the entire castle, filling the room with red, and he scrambles for the rope the Wisconsin Ghost left for him a few months back. Danny's already out and climbing down the side of the castle before Vlad even reaches his door -- the only good thing about the entire room being ghost-proof is that Vlad can't get in that way.

The rope ends before it reaches the bottom, and he's still twenty feet in the air. It won't kill him if he lands it right. Danny takes his chances, and drops. He breaks his ankle, but he survives.

And he fucking books it to the back garden. He hears Vlad shrieking over the thunder and rain.

I'll save the full experience for a future oneshot, but Danny makes it out into the nearby woods and forcibly experiences what it's like to be in a horror game, trying to hide from the thing that's hunting you. There's only one thing going through his mind; "i'm going to die"

I have this mental image for this scene. Very stereotypical horror imo. Where Danny is hiding behind a tree, with a hand over his mouth, and Vlad is a few feet away from him, glowing ominously red through the trees, trying to search for him.

Danny doesn't get away from this unscathed, but he does get away alive. That's all he could ask for. He gets away by getting his ghost half awakened long enough to transform into Phantom and fly to Gotham.

But he gets to Wayne Manor, he gets to Bruce. Or, at least, Alfred answers the door from his insistent pounding. Danny's just in tears and Alfred gets him in the living room, wrapped in a towel, with ice on his swollen leg before he has to step out and alert Bruce.

Bruce already breaks multiple traffic laws on a nightly basis. And that's just with the sheer existence of the batmobile itself, not including the speeding and military artillery attached. He breaks double the amount trying to speed back to the cave and get out of the suit.

Right off the bat: Bruce will know, at least before Dick enters the picture, about danny's powers. He'll figure out something considering the fact that Danny traveled from Wisconsin to New York in a single night. That'll be a bit of complicated affair, but I've already got something in mind.

Actually it'll probably be very soon after Danny joins the family, because Bruce tries to offer to fight for custody for Danny - the state Danny was in at arrival is clear enough evidence for a trial. But Danny immediately shuts it down, says it's not going to work and then Vlad will know Danny's with him and he won't be safe. He tells him that Vlad cannot know Danny was with Bruce.

Danny's biggest regret was not telling his parents he was a halfa, and while he doesn't want to tell mister wayne (yet), he does tell him about Vlad being one. He needs to know why Danny can't be seen with Bruce. So he tells him, and Danny's current plan is to just hide out from Vlad until he turns 18. That way, he has no more legal jurisdiction over him. After that? He's not sure.

And to wrap this up, since this has already gotten very long and I can make more posts about this au later; I've thought about it, and I'm going to say that Danny does become a vigilante before Dick enters the scene. He goes by, as you probably guessed; Nightingale. "Gale" for short.

Actually now I am going to ask because I need to know more about why the old au sanses and papyruses want to stop toxin

What messed up things did Toxin do to their AUs respectively?

Ooooo.

Warning: Famine, death, etc.

My Old Undertale AU: Toxin found the AU and decided it was far too peaceful, so he decided to send machines that, at first, seemed harmless, but then they started killing and deconstructing. Rain and Conroy lost all of their loved ones because of him and Conroy lost his family because of Toxin. He wants to stop the pain Toxin causes to other AUs.

My Old Underswap AU: A moderately peaceful AU before Toxin messed with the code enough that the Chara of the AU became murderous and killed the people in the AU over and over before Toxin sent his machines to help make it even more painful. This caused a constant cycle of resets and deaths that Honeycomb managed to escape before he could escape with Aquamarine. He knew the AU was messed with and he wanted to make Toxin pay for making his loved ones suffer the way he did.

My Old Underfell AU: The AU dealt with genuine unrest, but Toxin took on a more hands-on approach by manipulating people into fighting before he added his robots into the mix and, unlike Horrortale, he did not erase Frisk's ability to reset so every time they died, they'd relive the damage he caused every time. Passerine and Heath escape but they remember what Toxin did, they remember all the loved ones they lost, and they want to stop him.

My Old Swapfell AU: They had a moderately peaceful AU, albeit with a lot of subtle unrest because of humans. However, Toxin took advantage of it and, like Underfell, caused unrest, manipulating circumstances to his advantage, adding the disastrous robots he created into the mix, and thus, the world was stuck in a similar situation to Underfell. Finn and Zirconium escape and they're intent on stopping Toxin like how Passerine and Heath are, to avenge those they've lost and they want to stop him.

My Old Fellswap AU: Like Swapfell, it was a moderately peaceful AU with subtle unrest because of humans. Toxin came in, decided to fuck around in it, mess up the code, cause a war, send his mechanical creatures... Killed their loved ones and they die over and over again as the world resets and everyone dies again and again without mercy hoping to break their wills, but they hold on to hope. Noir and Bear want revenge and they want Toxin to pay for what he did.

My Old Horrortale AU: They were like the Tale AU at the beginning, peaceful, unsuspecting, and prime for targeting. The difference being he had taken away the ability of reset from the Frisk of the AU and killed them very early into the war. They were put into a famine and they lost countless loved ones because of it. Eventually, Storm and Carollan escaped and they started to fight against Toxin.

questions! (a bit late, but still): 1) so you like epic? What's your favorite song (and/or fan animatic) ? And why? 2) do you read fic? If so, what are your fave, like, five fics? (if possible across several different fandoms to minimize the chance I don't know it) Why? 3) you're studying englit? What's your favorite thing about that / your favorite... text? (and how long till you're finished, if you don't mind answering)

thank you and not at all! questions are always welcome

1.Fav song and or fan animatic from Epic

My Goodbye!! oh my god this song. The leitmotifs, the callbacks to Warrior of the Mind, the pure raw emotion in their voices. I love how Odysseus and Athena embody what the other loathes. Odysseus and his heart, Athena and her violence. I love the contrast between mortal and god. I love everything about it. And my favourite animatics in the fandom come from WolfytheWitch who not only perfectly conveys the themes of the songs through their art, but truly enhance them.

2.Do you read fic + your favs

I do read fic! I love fic so much, its the distilled product of the love for a piece of media/its characters and the way authors so thoroughly delve into the minds of the characters they write for, or further the themes of the story, etc is so extremely cool. Also, writing is hard (I try but i'm far too slow and far too much of a perfectionist).

Here are some of my favourites:

- beautiful and vulnerable (and power and success) by koiketto (Arcane; character study focused on Caitlyn's childhood)

- emptiness to music by spookyscaryskeletons (buttons15) (Adventure Time; study on marceline and bubblegum)

-Passerine by Blujamas, thcscus (MCYT au; about kingdoms, mortality, and found family. Disclaimer: i'm no longer in the fandom and I cannot stand dream - he's not the focus of this anyway so its easy to ignore - but this is genuinely written as well as some of my favourite novels. I'd recommend it even if you know nothing of the people because it's an au anyway and no context is needed. there's even a really good audio version on spotify)

-Uneasy Lies the Head by Hiiraeth (V_eritas) (Naruto; post-canon, Kakashi is Hokage and oh shit someone poisoned him and wants him dead. genuinely reads like part of canon.)

- Opera Posthuma by pipstrelle (The Locked Tomb; Palamedes AUs. I picked one of their fics because although I haven't read all of them yet, I've loved every one.)

I also see that you're into Marvel so you should check out my writer friend @jinxquickfoot 's stuff! I don't really go there anymore but they are really awesome and write great words 3. Fav thing about Englit, fav text i've studied, and when will I finish I love stories! I love the passion that goes into making them and I like to reciprocate and understand as much as I can. I love the study of the human condition, of how texts display how the author views society and how this in turn impacts the person reading it. I love the sprinkles of history and politics and sociology and linguistics that I get to explore when I read and study. I love how broad and applicable and fulfilling it is. Those are a lot of favourite things but I believe they're all rather interconnected. My favourite text (in my syllabus at least) might be shakespeare's much ado about nothing because of how utterly amusing it is and how much it surprised me as I read it again and again and watched the play. I didn't like it at first but shakespeare grows on you. I also really enjoyed The Handmaid's Tale because discourse surrounding the patriarchy is *very* cathartic and interesting to discuss in length, and to unravel in essays. Right now, I'm on an Emily Dickinson kick because some of her poems hit me where it hurts

I finish in 2026! I'm only starting my degree in september and I'm currently doing something that's equivalent in rank to a foundation programme, but a lot more intense

Meet The Mods

We're Happy To Have You~

This is an extension of our introduction post for Unminecrafts Your Fic that goes over the mods helping to run this blog as well as a couple details you might find interesting about this blog.

First and foremost, we'll usually be avoiding "first page fics". What this means is that usually we'll be avoiding fics with the most kudos are their tags since those fics already get a lot of attention and we'd like to share some of that attention with smaller and newer fics. We will make exceptions for fics that are requested though! I.e. we'd usually avoid fics like Shells In The Foam or Passerine unless requested.

Secondly, this blog is centered around positivity. While we will be "reviewing" fics as mentioned in our pinned post we won't be rating them. Reviews are just extended recommendations. They'll often include spoilers and our personal thoughts about the fics, but the primary aim is to provide positivity and compliments for these authors.

Third, we don't review unfinished fics. We will recommend them happily and talk about them as in progress pieces, but fics that are in progress will be clearly noted as such considering we can't talk about them as a finished work. Works that become boundary breaking will have their recommendation immediately removed the moment the mods become aware of it. Discontinued fics fall under the same category as unfinished and will be noted with the tag #UYFdiscontinuedorinprogress.

Now, on with the Mods

Mod Tommy Pronouns: Any Neo's Tag Specialization: discduo, bitterduo, awesamfam, rocketduo, souptrio, superhero aus, space aus, and will handle the fics with dark/serious/or potentially triggering topics most of the time, About: Hey! Mod Tommy here. I'll focus on anything with hefty amounts of angst! I'll probably tend to keep any reviews short and sweet, but if you need something to read that makes you go "Woah, that was fucked up" I'm your guy!

Mod Ranboo Pronouns: she/her Tag Specialization: crimebois, angelduo, octopusduo, dadbur, mer aus, fairy tale aus, kristin content, About: Hello hello! It's Mod Ranboo :D I'm really excited to help give writers the positive attention they all deserve! I plan on using my English degree to the fullest extent to point out all the amazing things people create! I'll be focusing on anything angst with a happy ending, and especially things like mer aus and fairy tale retellings! Side note UNFRIDGE THINE MUMZA!

Mod Tubbo Pronouns: Genderfluid, stick to She/They/He Tag Specialization: bedrock bros, alliumduo, benchtrio, winged tommy, familiar tommy, grian content, fae aus, foster aus, About: Your friendly Mod Tubbo here! As is indicative of my name I'm here to help inspire chaos, but also action. A lot of longer form rec and review posts are going to be mine. I adore requests so if you have a specific fic you'd like me to take a look at feel free to send it in as an ask! I love bullying Tommy, love turning him into nonhuman species, and the more unhinged your plot ideas the better.

Mod Purpled Pronouns: They/Them Tag Specialization: Paranormal and ghost aus, mystery fics, werewolf aus About: Hello, mod Purpled here o7 I adore fics centered around a mystery waiting to be solved, especially if it's paranormal or supernatural related. Small town horror or magic with a sense of dread or longing? Sign me up. I want to share what makes fics so enjoyable, and help uncover some absolute bangers that are often overlooked.

The Secrets That We Sold Were Never Known Part II: Clockwork

In which BDubs struggles to find himself again in the aftermath of Dream's deadly game, while doing his best to maintain the timestream and resist foes both ancient and current, and finds that it's a bit like trying to roll a boulder up a cliff: in the end, you always seem to end up back where you started.

(Or: in which Expo’s Last Life-exacerbated BDubs feels and eternal Terminal Tales Brainrot collide, and the result is the longest chapter I’ve written for the Kaleidoscope AU to date.)

[go-learn-esperanto]

i really want to get into mcyt-related (dsmp, hermitcraft, last/third life, osmp, afterlife, etc.) fanfics but i dont even know where to start. do you happen to have any fic recommendations?

Well, this all depends on what you want.

I think most of the classics are very good way to start, although most are a bit long.

The only one of the most known fics that I think might not be a the best way to start is TommyInnit's Unbeatable Method of Avoiding Sudden Death because it's a fic notorious for being difficult to begin. A lot of people start reading it, stop, and then might repeat the process until they manage to keep reading more than like 3 chapters and once they do that they start being obsessed and read it til the end almost in one go. Then they won't recover for the rest of their lives but beginning is difficult. Worth it but difficult.

I am a very big fan of angsty fics so a lot of the ones I like the most are always a bit sad.

For fic recs:

Passerine - Written by Thcscus. Classic, my favourite fic of all time. It has seven chapters and it's a rollercoaster of emotions that goes up then goes down drastically. One of the most beautiful things I've ever read and with a godd message. If I had to give it my summary it would be

Technoblade arrives at his long Friend Philza's — also known as the Angel of Death — castle, after this one had abandoned Techno without a word. There King Philza makes Techno promiss to help his oldest son, Wilbur, with voices that both Techno and Wilbur hear. What Techno will realise is that the promiss will extend to being more than Wilbur's tutor, and that Techno won't be the only one having to deal with Philza abandoning the ones he loves. Wilbur becomes king at 16.

Technoblade and Philza are immortal, Wilbur and Tommy... Are not.

Or maybe read the author's summary which is always poetic and beautiful.

For something way shorter but still very good, from the same author;

When Wilbur Met Sally - shorter fic about, well, Sally and Wilbur meeting. This one happens in the canon storyline of the Dream SMP so you already have a bit of an idea of how this is going to end. This is a fic I could spoil but that wouldn't really matter since it's the feelings and relationship between the characters that matter. I think it's a good introduction to mcyt fics. I also think the summary made by the author is perfect:

When asked, years down the line, she will begin the story with a tight smile and a “Once upon a time” with a voice that sounds like a double-edged sword. Like she is telling an inside joke that even she cannot laugh at. She will repeat the words, more somber, until they are no longer words but a mere collection of sounds, beautiful but indistinguishable, incoherent—birdsong, or a ballad from some lovesick boy’s guitar.

Once upon a time, as if they were a fairy tale.

As if they had a happily ever after.

Denouement - Written by @/isa-grapes How I wish Wilbur and Tommy's conversation to go. Follows canon. Also short. Very sweet but not in a fluff way, more in a hurt comfort way. Characterisation is on point. If Wilbur's talk with Tommy in canon isn't as good as this one I'm gonna be disappointed and accept this one as canon instead.

It's an one-shot!

TommyInnit's Clinic For Supervillains - Written by @/bonesandthebees Do you want to read a Super Hero AU fic but TommyInnit's Unbeatable Method of Avoiding Sudden Death seems to be difficult in catching your interest immediately? This one's for you! The fic where Tommy, just a guy working at a café, saves supervillain Siren from dying. Things escalate. Also Tommy becomes best friends with this guy Wilbur who starts going to the café regularly. I wonder how that's related 🧐

Anywway, this has one of the funniest scenarios I've seen in a fic. Supervillain Siren in full gothic attire and Tommy dressed in normal cheap clothes trying to order at a McDonald's. "Yeah, it's totally a kidnapping believe us. Tommy what do you want? Chicken nuggets? Yeah, chicken nuggets for my hostage. He also wants sauce to go with that."

This fic is also a discussion about morality and family. It might go where you don't expect it to go.

This is About a Stuffed Bird - Written by @/theminecraftbee. It's a zombie apocalypse fic from the pov of Mumbo who has decided he's gonna stop hiding and do everything in his power to find Grian (Before the apocalypse started Mumbo promised Grian to give him a talking parrot robot with some simple AI). Mumbo is not confident at all so the story really has him overcome small things that you'd expect a typical zombie apocalypse protagonist to be good at.

Ah, and by the way, the monsters aren't exactly zombies. They're worse. Will give me nightmares for the rest of my life.

I recommend you check the writter's blog since they have a bunch of smaller fics in post format so you can have a small dose and see the style of the author.

Covet - Written by @/digitalta. Another horror one! A fic about boatem who has a distinct lack of Grian but definitely has a boatemhole monster. Scout my beloved.

It's a fic where the hermits are trying to deal with a problem (the boatemhole monster) in the best way they can. Some of them are terrified, others are Scar who doesn't know the definition of danger... Others are trying to understand and sympathize with Scout... They're doing their best. When you get over the initial horror you actually might start feeling a bit sad for the boatemhole monster.

I have a recommendation: Passerine Podcast. It's a YouTube channel who's reading Dream SMP fanfiction and the quality is very good. They have read Passerine from beginning to end so you can listen to it. They've also read Bones in the Ocean by @/bunfloras & @/wolfythewitch, which is a pirate fic centred on Emerald duo (very good too) and have begun reading TommyInnit's Clinic For Supervillains!

Foolish and Punz find themselves deadlocked in a bid for godhood. It should be easy to beat someone like Punz, except he's perhaps the most distracting thing Foolish has ever known in his life and he doesn't know why. Until he does.

B, L, O

B: a pairing you didn’t initially consider but someone changed your mind 

hmmmmmm probably intrulogical! i don’t remember who specifically changed my mind about it (i think it miiiiiight have been @not-so-innocent-bi-sander but don’t quote me on that) but like. the vibes. good

L: say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves

patton really is out here trying his best. did he do some bad shit? yeah. but he’s working to grow past it into a different, better person, and like, that’s all you can ask for. we all have skeletons in our closet. the measure of a man is not his skeletons, but what he chooses to do with them. make them into fertilizer and flourish. 

O: choose a song at random. which character or ship does it remind you of?

spotify has graced me with the song passerine by the oh hellos and that song also reminds me of a very specific patton - this time, the laoft!patton from the amazing beautiful perfect talented show-stopping @tulipscomeinallsortsofcolors‘s love and other fairy tales au

[starry-bi-sky]

potential 'tales of the passerine' au idea that might make it into the au after I sleep it over. Essentially it goes as follows: Danny uses music as a way to 'filter' his food.

Now let me explain.

It stems from the idea that ghosts can feed on the living's emotions. Like how Spectra feeds on teen misery and Ember feeds on fan adoration. For the average ghost its not required, but they can do it.

Gotham, despite having a high population of people, is low on ectoplasm. That is due to the overwhelming amount of emotional energy being poured into the city. To put it simply, the Bad Vibes are smothering the place. There's enough ectoplasm that it's not going to unbalance anything, but it does mean ghosts forming in Gotham are rare. Not enough ectoplasm to bond to.

Anyways, moving on; Danny feeds on ectoplasm naturally. Even when he's repressing his ghost half, he's feeding on it. Maybe not as much as he should, but he's still doing it. It's like eating food or breathing air. It keeps his body healthy in the basic bodily maintenance care way. Since Gotham doesn't have a ton of ectoplasm, he turns to feeding on its Bad Vibes instead to keep himself sustained. It's a win-win!

However, much like the human body processes food, his ghost half has to process those Bad Vibes and filter it out into energy. Otherwise those bad vibes are going to start affecting him, similar to how food can effect your health but from an emotional and behavioral stand point.

That filter is like the ghostly metabolic rate equivalent, and it can only filter out so much stuff at a set time when at rest. Danny's consuming a lot of bad vibes, his metabolism can't keep up on it's own. Danny can then turn and aid his filter by finding more outlets to help burn that excess energy and filter through it faster.

One of these being... *drumroll* music! It doesn't have to be music specifically, it can be any activity that burns human energy as well. But I chose music because i like to make danny a musician, it can be something he used to be interested in when he was younger, forgot about, and only rediscovered after he moved in with bruce.

i haven't decided yet if its something i'm going to actually put into passerine because I haven't fully developed everything else yet. But I thought it was a cool idea and wanted to share.

#dp x dc #dpxdc #danny fenton is not the ghost king #tales of the passerine au #dpxdc crossover #i need to sleep this idea over first before anything else. i just love the idea of danny being really into music

catch me looking up nightingale symbolisms for tales of the passerine. if danny's using the name of a songbird for a hero name, regardless of familial connections, i will utilize the symbolism tied to the bird. Anyways general gist of the nightingale symbolism i've seen, other than what wikipedia told me, is that nightingales were frequently symbolisms of spring renewal, loss/death, love, etc. catch me about to incorporate music into Danny's character

#dpxdc #danny fenton is not the ghost king #tales of the passerine au #musician danny ftw. as someone who loves music i am more than happy to make this boy a frequent singer. this au is still baby #i can squeeze singer/musician danny in pr easily. #some favorite lines i saw while looking for symbolisms is that nightingales in roman culture were associated with venus and were also said #to provide comfort in the hours of darkness. eh eh? i saw a summary that in chinese folklore they were seen as symbols of hope #it didn't specify which dynasty but it did say it was a famous tale. cite also mentioned that in John Keats' “Ode to a Nightingale” #the bird’s enchanting song transports the poet to a world of transcendent beauty providing a temporary escape from the suffering and imperm #anyways looks like nightingales in gist symbolize comfort in dark times among other things #while robins in gist symbolize renewal. celebration of life. good luck. rebirth. #nightingale's color scheme in my mind is very much a dark purple-blue and black. maybe some gray too. #he'll probably try and ditch the black and white just out of paranoia. argh i need to come up with a suit design nooooo. superhero suit #design is my weakkkest design skill. have to balance between practical and a unique silhouette thats in line with their character. #esp since danny's not using his ghost half to be nightingale -- way too risky. also not using his powers/using them very little. #maybe i can work in an ocarina batman reference lmaoo. i can lean into comic/cartoon realism and have fun with that. as a treat

[starry-bi-sky]

tales of the passerine retcon -- did i say danny broke his ankle from the fall? I mean his leg. He broke his leg. And injured his shoulder. probably bruised a few ribs.

#danny fenton is not the ghost king #dont wana overdo it but. yeah. just updating his injures #mmm trying to decide if he phased through the wayne entry gates before transforming back to human #or if i want to go press it further and have him transform away from the gates. go the last few yards up the driveway and #then climbs over the fence or wall. before dragging himself to the door #either way danny's having a bad bad time #tales of the passerine au

[starry-bi-sky]

a half-ghost--? no- no wait, that's a changeling. that's even worse.

so i'd like to preface this by saying this stems from me going entirely off the rails thinking about tales of the passerine-- which is frankly quite on brand for me to think of one au, and then develop it so far left ways that it makes another au entirely.

bUT. Context! Danny's ancestors sometime before they immigrated to America had a fae marry into the family. This had its Side Effects. Naturally. The Fentonnightengale responsible for this charmed a fae thanks to their swagless nature and awkward demeanor, so instead of getting eaten the fae thought it was cute instead. The fae marrying into the family had an affinity for music, but that kinda repressed itself by accident -- blame the salem witch trials.

By the time Danny is born, the fae blood has become so latent that it really doesn't show up anymore other than the Fentons Eccentricity and obsession with the supernatural (a latent desire to return home to the fae realm - aka infinite realms). There's an unnatural charm surrounding the fenton that really only creeps almost every human within a visual radius, and Danny is no exception.

hoWEVEr. the accident that turned danny into a halfa in one timeline did no such thing in this one -- it just reactivated his latent fae blood, and reactivated it with a fervor. Effectively turning Danny from a human into a changeling.

Danny just thinks at first that he's a half-ghost -- only to realize later on from Clockwork that he's not one at all. He's very much fae -- which is a wild discovery for Danny to make. It also means his rogues are quite a bit more intimidated by him. Fae are above ghosts in the Infinite Realm Creature Hierarchy, no matter how powerful they are. A fae can still Steal the name of a ghost, so Danny's rogues are rather skittish/unsure around Danny until they realize he doesn't know he's a changeling -- after that, many of them vow to try and keep it secret amongst themselves.

Danny's 'ghost' form is rather birdlike, and in human form his appearance warps to match his comfortability. When he's alone with his friends he starts taking on unnatural features. -- his blue-green eyes brighten and his pupils elongate, his teeth sharpen, and his ears grow longer and animal-like. His hair softens to be more feathery, his nails sharpen. In general he takes on more 'bird-ish' features. At school, around his parents, and when he's stressed, tense, or scared, he looks completely human -- an instinctual survival mechanism.

As a ghost, he has large, pretty wings that gradient from black to dark purple-blue, with a shimmer across the feathers that resembles the aurora borealis. His limbs elongate, his legs becoming bird-like and his talons grow on both his feet and nails. His ears vaguely resemble a rabbit's, although they don't flop down like one. All his teeth sharpen. Razor sharp chompers, capable of biting through bone. His eyes take on a greenish-hue, but otherwise remain the same color, albeit his sclera becomes blue-ish and his pupils become diamond-shaped and white. Rings of seafoam blue circle around his iris, creating a reflective sheen. He makes chirping, creaking noises, and when he speaks there's a faint overlap that is very enchanting.

Overall he's rather beautiful in a terrifyingly inhuman way, its hard to take your eyes off him. He has a lot of feathers. He's very drawn to singing and music in general, and gets into music sometime after his accident. He likes flutes/ocarinas/woodwinds the most, followed shortly after by strings, and then piano. He also slowly loses the ability to lie -- which is really annoying and also terrifying until he learns how to reword himself and become a better wordsmith.

SInce this stemmed from an older brother dpdc au, its gonna stay an older brother dpdc au alsfh. i'll just get to the dpxdc part in another post since i wanted to get this off my chest first

Kaleidoscope AU Masterpost

What is the Kaleidoscope AU? Kaleidoscope started as self-indulgent cringe fanfiction-of-fanfiction with my longfic WIP Color Wheel back in June of 2021, born of my intense Passerine and Tales From the SMP-related brainrot.  It quickly absorbed several other flavors of brainrot and has since expanded into a massive multi-author and artist collaborative effort that is still growing to this day.

The Kaleidoscope AU is a Passerine expansion AU that incorporates characters and story arcs from across the MCYT Cinematic Universe.  All credit and much love, as ever, to the inimitable Kyle Thcscus, whose worldbuilding skills left me mired in brainrot that I will never recover from, and to my co-writers and artists @lunarblazes, @exactlymypoint, @solar-cactus, @mikartisa, @sirbilliamiii, @argonaughtkeene, @zombiepal, @mangop1e, @redwinterroses, and @cocoabats, who made this series into something incredibly special to me, and so much more than I could ever have achieved on my own. 

Works in the Kaleidoscope AU Fanfiction Color Wheel by ExpositionFairy (aka me): In the immediate aftermath of Passerine, the heroes and their friends struggle to come to terms with the fallout, while sinister entities both new and very, very old jockey for control in the power vaccuum the Green God left behind.

Three, by ExpositionFairy: In which an odd remote island full of eccentrics both mortal and immortal gets a visit from the Green God and his friends, campfire tales are told, and Grian learns too late that no one can fly under the radar forever. (A prequel taking place approximately 350 years before the events of Passerine/Color Wheel.)

give me back my heart, you wingless thing by lunarblazes: Twelve gods and their mortal companions fight to remember themselves in the midst of Dream’s deadly game.

To Stars and Void He Will Return by @exactlymypoint and Supernova by @solar-cactus: The God of the Stars does the only thing he can think of to do in order to save his doomed mortal lover from the Green God’s machinations.

Hurricane by ExpositionFairy: In the wake of the events of Three and Wingless, the devastated Hermits struggle to pick up the pieces, as their world continues to entangle itself with that of their Dream SMP counterparts until a world-shaking event changes everything forever.  (Bridges the time period between Three and Passerine/Color Wheel)

as days go by (the night’s on fire) by ExpositionFairy: The storm is over, the nightmare banished to the dark...but dawn brings troubles of its own.  (Set directly following Hurricane leading up to Color Wheel)

balance of the scales/these stones take no comfort under foreigners’ footsteps by midge1: Doc, Keeper of the Scales of Balance, and Iskall, God of Stone and Mountain, encounter the terrifying fallout of Dream’s actions and fight to defend their afflicted friends.

Voices by ExpositionFairy  and when I’m far too tired to fall asleep by @lunarblazes: Twenty years after the events of Three, the Hermits and their friends find themselves back in horrifyingly familiar circumstances...only this time the rules have changed, and the unwilling players discover that they’ve changed along with them. screaming at the sun you throw into by @lunarblazes: At his lowest moment, Grian reaches out for help in facing his worst fears and hits on a novel (if rather scuffed) way to come to terms with who and what he’s become. (takes place between Voices/when I’m far to tired to fall asleep and the final chapters of Hurricane) Judge of Souls by @exactlymypoint: Wels, psychopomp and Guardian of the Gates of Hell, reflects on life and death, friends and foes. take my hand (take my whole life too) by @buildmarts: Niki and Puffy finally find peace in the next world.

Promises, Promises by ExpositionFairy (Tumblr exclusive): Punz receives an offer too tempting to refuse.  the saying goes ‘ashes to ashes,’ doesn’t it? by @lunarblazes: Tales from the early days of Boatem, and how four immortal misfits and one oddball human became a family. The Manic Mockingbird and Death’s Last Protege by @lunarblazes: History becomes legend, legend becomes myth. so you feel entitled to a sense of control by @bananasofthorns: On their way to Boatem Village, the Green God and his companions come across an odd little market in the middle of nowhere.  (Takes place immediately prior to Three)

stretching the truth out of shape by @bananasofthorns: Hypno and XB, and the origins of an unlikely friendship.

you’re a smart kid, tough kid (but you’re still a kid) by @mangop1e: A tale of two brothers, and a desperate deal (takes place directly after Chapters 11 and 12 of Color Wheel)

Fanart Color Wheel cover art by @redwinterroses PearlescentMoon from Chapter 14 of Color Wheel by @mikartisa False, Iskall, and Wels from Chapter 1 of Hurricane by @zombiepal Grian Sunstealer by @lunarblazes “I love you” and “I’m sorry”: Sam and Ponk from Chapter 15 of Color Wheel by @mikartisa The Phoenix from Chapter 5 of Hurricane  by @cocoabats (Updated 07/15/22!)
