This year, as always, it will take place the week Saint Valentine's takes place, and that is from February 10th until February 16th!
For this year we have tried something new: Each day will be related to a movie — a romance movie, or a movie with relationship storylines — with a trope from that movie, and a long prompt inspired by the movie.
If you haven't seen the movie it's no problem! Use the general prompt and/or the writing prompt to inspire you.
Pick and choose whichever of the 3 you like to use: 1, 2 all 3 of them, or none!
As always: Any type of creation is welcome! Writing, art, moodboards, music, vibes, etc!

This year we thought a funny new concept to try out for Ship Week. Here's also everything you need to know about the event, rules and links.
Timeline
From February 10th to February 16th
How will prompts work?
This year we had the idea to make it movie themed. There are a lot of good movies with romantic storylines, and we thought it could be fun to use some as a base for the prompts for this year.
Each day will have:
A movie
A trope (from that movie)
A long prompt based on the movie
You don't have to use all for your creation. Pick and choose - just 1, 2, 3 or none! Completely up to you.

Q&A
What kind of works are allowed?
Any! Writing, art, gifset, edits, music, moodboards, etc. All are welcome.
Will there be a AO3 Collection?
Yes. We encourage you to post your creation in the collection, be it art, audio, writing or gifs. If it can be uploaded to AO3, it can be in the Collection.
Collection HERE
[Collection will be closed until the event begins]
Can I tag you when I post in Tumblr?
Yes! That way we can find your work faster.
Can I post out of order?
Yes, as long as you don't post for future prompts.
Can I make content that could fall into M (mature)/E (explicit) categories?
Yes. Tag properly if you do, or we won't reblog your work.
Can I use ace/aro/aspec characters and dynamics?
Yes! This event is about all representation of ships and dynamics, including the ones in the aroacespec. Headcanon and Canon aroacespec are welcomed and encouraged.
Can I write platonic relationships or is everything about romantic ships?
Ship week celebrates all kinds of bonds and relationships. Not all relationships have to be romantic in real life, and we wanted to reflect that in the prompts. This is a celebration of love in all forms.

Dead on Main, Danny/Jason
Part 2
Danny and Jason getting down dirty on the dancefloor in a ghost nightclub, the fic
CW: Long post, Mature/Explicit sexual content
Snippit: Danny is still rocking his intertwined thigh between Jason’s legs. Jason’s head spins. He’s dizzy with desire. Asphyxiating on disbelief. Drowning in joy.
A piano and violin duet was happily playing in the background. A waiter, this time one with a bird head but still wearing a blank mask, was clearing their table. Jason leaned back to get out of their way, accidentally leaning further into Danny's space.
The entire table tenses. “What the hell is that?” Jason barks out over the disruptive noise. The waiter continues to calmly clear their table.
“Ahh, that’s the siren to warn that R’n’P is about to transform. You might want to grab your drinks and stand up. The furniture is the first to change. See.”
The waiter points to an empty table. Before their eyes the tables suddenly disappears in a poof of smoke. All around them, seats and tables were disappearing into clouds of smoke, melting into the floor and walls, or shapeshifting into something else.
The once wooden floor transformed into nightclub flooring that glowed with psychedelic fever. The lighting went from a low-lit speak-easy ambiance to that of a dark and fervid nightclub. Strobe lights in green, red, and purple flashed down upon hem. Clouds of dry ice seeped in and furled around their feet. Thumping bass shook the air, as club music poured in.
Ghosts and spirits alike flooded onto the conjured dancefloor.
“I’m gonna go dance, see you dorks later” Sam yelled out before strutting over to the open dance floor. Ellie grins at the boys before bouncing off to join Sam. Danny makes eye contact with Tucker before gesturing to the dance floor. Tucker instead shakes his head, then gestures at a group of beautiful ladies standing next to the drinks bar.
“I'm gonna shoot my shot. How do I look?”
Danny purses his lips, fixes the slant of Tucker’s beret, before telling him to tie his shoelaces.
“Alright, me and Jason” Danny starts.
Jason pokes Danny, “Jason and I,” he corrects. Danny rolls his eyes before nodding.
“Right, Jason and I, we’ll be right here. Go get 'em tiger.” Danny slaps Tucker on the back who trots off after glaring back at them. The pair watch Tucker's approach.
“Think he’ll get lucky?” Jason asks, swirling his drink. He peers into the glass as if it'll explain why his stomach is suddenly filled with butterflies. Danny shrugs in answer.
“It’s not impossible. If he doesn’t creep her out, he might manage it”.
The two stood and watched Tucker flirt. Whatever Tucker said must’ve had a positive response because one of the girls giggles and then drags Tucker to the dance floor with her.
“Way to go Tucker,” Danny compliments. He takes a slurp from his drink as he cheers.
Jason meanwhile stared out at the sea of partying ghosts feeling very out-of-place. In contrast to how this kind of place was exactly targeted for Jason’s demographic. Jason should be one of them yet he felt nauseated at the thought of even stepping out onto the dance floor.
“Wow OK you look like you desperately need to let loose.”
“What!”
“Follow me” and Danny pulls him through the throng of otherworldly people.
When they come to a stop, Danny pulls Jason in close. The other's hand was lightly resting at the small of Jason's back. Jason had to suppress a shiver, even as all of his attention narrows in on the fingertips ghosting his back.
Danny leans over to Jason's ear to be heard over the loud music.
“C’mon, I've seen you fight. A guy like you definitely has some moves. I bet you dance better than me.”
Jason knows panic is threaded in his voice as he responds.
"Danny, I don't know what I'm doing!"
His arms are awkwardly hovering mid-air, unsure of where they should be positioned. Danny smiles down at Jason, fondness alit in his mesmerising eyes, even as he nudges Jason to rest one hand onto his shoulder.
"Unhelpful(n̵̛̬e̴̮̎rv̵̘͒o̸͉̎u̵̮̇s̴̼̉,̵̗̊ ë̸͈́m̶̟̅ba̴͉̎r̷̢͌r̷a̷͖̓s̵̬̍s̴̺͂ed̶̩̍,̴͙̚ sḥ̷͛ŷ̷̟)" Jason sharply snapped back.
Danny clasps Jason's free hand into his own. Jason's breath caught. His eyes stared in wonder at their joined hands.
Danny leaned down to whisper into Jason’s ear. "How about this," he murmured so closely Jason could feel Danny’s smile, "j̶ū̸͇s̴̩͂t̵͇̽ ̶̢̔f̷̗͛o̵̧͊ll̸͚̏ö̸̞w̷͕̃ ̵̥̎my̸͌ͅ ̸͎͊l̷͕̇ea̵̫̽d̵͎̋."
With a huge grin on his face, Jason belted the catchy lyrics at the top of his lungs, as he rolled his hips in time with the music. Danny was grinning back. His green eyes shining with delight and focused entirely on Jason. Jason preened under Danny’s attention. Danny delighted in Jason’s obvious joy. Sinuous, in tandem, their bodies moved as one
Back arched, Jason raised his arms into the air, crossing them behind his head, moving his legs to cheekily bracket Danny’s thigh. Danny’s hands home in on Jason’s back and tight ass, supporting his weight.
“Steady?” he asks with a wicked grin and a tight squeeze. Jason shivers, his heart beats aflutter. A grinning smile shyly blooms despite himself. Jason nods.
Danny’s firm hold, the sway of his hips, leads Jason’s rhythmic grinding on Danny’s thigh. Rolling little thrusts that leave Jason breathless at the tiny shocks of pleasure wracking his mind. That have Jason rolling his hips more, harder, faster. It’s exciting. It’s daring. It’s thrilling and Jason can’t quite believe he’s doing this, acting like this, with Danny. But he can’t stop.
Jason reaches out to place his hands around Danny’s neck but Danny catches them. Instead Danny makes Jason continue to hold his hands behind his head.
Jason’s stomach swoops.
Danny’s hands are like cuffs, an ice-burning branding.
Jason is teetering on a knife thin edge; his mouth dries.
Nervously, heart rate skittering, Jason looks up from underneath his eyelashes. He finds Danny’s focused gaze on him. Jason's breath hitches. Danny’s attention is piercing, stripping. Arresting. Jason can’t look away; he’s awed, bewitched.
Danny is still rocking his intertwined thigh between Jason’s legs. Jason’s head spins. He’s dizzy with desire. Asphyxiating on disbelief. Drowning in joy.
The club music drowns him too. Looking up, neck arched, all Jason can see is Danny and how big he is. Danny is still holding Jason’s arms stretched out behind and captive. Jason feels Danny’s shirt shift and stretch across his chest because of it.
His cock stirs.
Frissons of pleasure spark through Jason’s mind when Danny rubs his body like that against his own; with the solid strength of Danny’s thigh grinding with hypnotic, heated rhythm.
Jason's eyes flutter. Jason was losing his mind to the music, to Danny, to pleasure. Panting like he’s recklessly running; greedily demanding more air; heart rate thundering like he was barrelling past physical limits. He knew what this was building up to, but he couldn't stop. His hips mindlessly rocked back and forth riding Danny’s thigh like he wanted to ride his dick. Pleasure builds and builds. Jason spread his legs further and angled himself so that his trapped hard-on got the friction he so desperately craved. Pleasure builds and builds.
Then the beat drops.
Danny dips Jason and Jason’s heart stops.
Jason freezes, off balance, with halted breath.
Danny’s hand slides down Jason’s back (lingering on Jason’s arse) rumpling up the now untucked shirt. Jason’s underlying tank top abruptly feels like one layer too many.
Through the cloth thin barrier, Jason felt every inch of Danny’s hand. He wondered if Danny would pass through that sliver of distance. To have skin grace skin. To have the touch of Danny’s hand trail along Jason’s bare back. Grope his ass. Stroke his cock.
Danny could undress Jason and have him half-naked, right here right now, in front of everyone and Jason would could do nothing to stop him. Memories flashed of when Danny had done just so in a moonlit park. Jason bites his lip even as his cock leaks at the thought. Strobe lights flash all around them.
Danny leans in closer. Closing the distance. Mirth twinkles in mischievous green eyes. It’s bewitching. Jason can't believe this is happening.
The music builds up even as the lively tempo saunters down into a sensual lilt. Jason is dipped back even further. One leg rises to wrap fully around Danny’s waist. Jason’s back is now parallel to the floor. Fully trusting Danny for balance, Jason's fingers stretch towards the floor. Jason keeps rolling his hips, gyrating to the music, grinding in Danny’s lap. Puffs of air escape from behind Jason’s lips. He feels free. Euphoric. Floating on hedonistic pleasure.
Blood rushes to Jason’s head as Danny suddenly pulls Jason up, flush against him. Jason's fists squeeze the back of Danny’s sleeveless turtleneck. Jason's leg is wrapped tighter around Danny's hip. Jason’s thighs clench tight and the friction between them builds and quickens as the music picks up. Sensual stroking, quick, hypnotic rhythms. Still giving lip service to the concept of dancing even whilst Jason rubs up against Danny. With his leg is hooked round Danny’s waist and Danny’s hands gripping him by his thighs and ass. His confined cock throbs.
Pleasure sings in Jason's veins. Danny’s indolent thrusts are in tandem with Jason’s wanton own. It’s like Danny is lazily fucking him standing with all of his clothes on even whilst Jason is bursting at the seams with lustful need. Jason shivers. His giddy moans are trapped between his closed, bitten lips. His confined cock weeps.
Jason starts grinding down with abandon, meeting each of Danny's thrusts with desperate thrusts of his own. With a salacious grin, Jason chases after that high. Danny speeds up, mirroring the music. Jason moans hum along as the ride picks up in tempo. Bouncing up and down, the brink is careening closer and closer.
"Fuck!"
Jason pants as for the second time his pleasure is abruptly pulled back. Danny removed his leg, withholding physical contact. Is Danny edging him? Seriously?! The fucker. Jason blinks back the sudden well of bleary tears in his eyes.
Jason is vibrating out of his skin. The need to beg, to be allowed to come, claws up his throat. Only his strained dignity has him choking back his pleading. But he knows that if he looked into Danny’s eyes right now he’d unravel. He'd come completely undone. He'd pitch right off the cliff in an embarrassing, humiliating, disgraceful mess.
"Fuck," Jason repeats underbreath. He buries his face into Danny’s shoulder.
But Danny lifts Jason’s head.
Stroking the tresses of Jason’s hair, Danny pulls slightly on Jason’s hair to tilt his head back. To look Jason directly in the eyes. Jason barely manages to bite back a whimper. His hands squeeze tight for all he has to hold on.
“Enjoying yourself?” Danny smiles guilelessly. Innocently.
So innocently that Jason is horrorstruck. At once he realises that Danny may not know that Jason was literally seconds away from coming in his pants, untouched. Jason, sick to stomach, notes that between them only his dick is excited. Jason swallows the urge to laugh/cry hysterically.
He unglues his mouth.
“Mmm yeah lot’s of fun,” his voice was hoarse. Danny will likely blame it on all the earlier belting.
Jason fully pulls away. Danny easily let's him go.
“Let’s go get you a drink, you seem pretty thirsty,” Danny cluelessly comments as he leads Jason to the bar, draping an arm around Jason’s shoulder. Jason, lightheaded, follows Danny shakily; weak in the knees and unsteady on his feet.
Suddenly Jason finds the club lights are too piercing, and the music is too overwhelming. He is very hyper aware of the bare skin touching the back of his neck. The strength in Danny’s arm. The free hand brushing with careless teases against Jason’s chest. The heavy weight of Danny’s bare arm alongside the sudden halt of pressure on his weeping cock makes Jason want to crawl out of his skin. Or scream.
Ducking and weaving their way through the mass of gyrating ghosts was a stark reminder of how close Jason had been to publically blowing his load. Considering how wrapped up the other ghosts were with each other, Jason indulges in the fantasy of doing so anyway. Jason doubts they’d notice. Jason doubts Danny would notice - a thought that provokes a perverted thrill that's quickly soured.
When they reached the bar, Danny asked Jason what he wanted. Jason had to take several deep breaths before answering. He had to imagine the grossest of things in mental preparation all so that he could answer a normal fucking question like a normal fucking person who’s not about to commit some public indecency like some kind of pervert. Jason desperately tried to drag his mind out of the gutter. To stop himself from rutting up against Danny like a bitch in heat, or touching himself in front of Danny like a horny slutty camboy.
“Jason,” Danny leans over to speak directly into Jason’s ear, “what do you want?” he repeats in a louder voice.
‘I want you to fuck me senseless, right here, right now’ Jason thinks unprompted. Bend me over and rail me please. He stares unseeing at the stock of drinks on display behind the bar counter.
“Do they-” Jason freezes. Danny’s arm around his shoulder had dropped down to Jason’s waist. Danny had sidled closer to Jason to avoid the crowding ghosts on his other side. Danny's hand was resting on the countertop, caging Jason in, and pressing him up against the bar.
Danny leaned his head down to face Jason with his full attention. Jason turned his head slightly so that he could look back at Danny. The close proximity has Jason stuttering his words. Jason’s eyes flick down to the fullness of Danny’s mouth. His eyes flicked back up to meet intense green.
Jason had to reboot.
“Do they even have plain water here?” Jason manages restarts his question, He figures that it would be in his best interests to not drink something that would further compromise his thinking.
“Probably not,”
Fuck, thinks Jason.
“But there’s likely some kind of liquid ectoplasm you can drink for rehydration. But it won’t be water. See ectoplasm, despite preferring to exist in fluid and/or viscous states, rarely takes the form of still water. Part of it is because water is a very good medium and energy sink so it typically reflects it's environment in a pscyho-reactive manner but I think it has more to do with..."
Danny is standing so close that Jason is barely listening. Their intimate proximity makes the hairs on the back of Jason’s neck stand up.
"...how a calm state of water is diametrically opposed by ectoplasm preference to exist in polarised energy states of being for example fire, ice, electricity."
Jason flexes his hands on the countertop surface. He blankly gives mindless responses to Danny’s rambling.
"Exactly, meanwhile still water exhibits a sort of equilibrium that ectoplasm naturally rejects. Ectoplasm can be a lot of things but calm is not one of them; it wants to exist at extremely positive positive and negative entropy states -oh over here please could I get an electrolytic drink for him- right so as I was saying ectoplasm wants to exist at extreme entropy states which leads back to preferring to be a fluid and/or viscous and, ”
Jason barely noticed when a bartender (blank-masked, with scaly hands, no taller than 5’ 3”) comes and takes their order. Jason was laser focused on the inch of space between them. To how his legs, his hips fit up against Danny. To how Danny’s fingers are fiddling with the belts lounging slack on Jason’s hip whilst he's talking. When his beverage (energy drink, flavour: blue) arrives, Jason thirstily gulps it down.
But Danny has now stopped talking and is instead watching him intently as he drinks. There's something raptor-like about Danny's focus. A removed fascination. Jason feels on display. Like his every twitch is being closely observed but not necessarily understood. He’s overly aware of the bob of his adam’s apple as he chugs down his offered drink. He sees Danny watching him out of the corner of his eye. It feels borderline voyeuristic on Danny’s part. Jason’s cock meanwhile gives an exhibitionist twitch at Danny’s long look.
But Jason is unsure whether all the heat is just in his head. The urge to just rut, suck off or just do something has him squirming under Danny’s unrelenting gaze.
"Feeling better?" Danny asks, his voice seductively tender.
Jason prays that his flushed cheeks are unnoticable under the nightclub strobe lighting. He mumbles out an answer, his hand clenching the empty drink bottle, scrunching it slightly.
"Ready for round two?" Danny smiles up at him.
Jason internally screams. Why is Danny so attractive? Jason is now viscerally aware that he would do many, many horrific things in return for having that smile sent his way.
This is a nightmare. But Jason is so greedy for more. He's a filthy thief. He's stealing more from Danny's affections than the ghost is offering. But Jason was too weak.
"I was born ready," Jason declares smirking, hiding behind a thick mask of bravado.
Danny laughs before whisking Jason back onto the dance floor.
A/N: Re: Danny being an oblivious fuck. Yes Danny noticed Jason’s hard on whilst they were dancing. He just didn’t connect any dots and dismissed it.
Look, listen, listen. I can explain this.
It’s been 10 years since Danny has become a halfa. And I’m head cannoning that most of the time, ghosts are rockin Barbie/Ken Doll genitalia and only have working crotch parts when they choose to, which may not even happen during ghost sexy times. That’s because Ghost sex is 1000% more focused on emotional bonds and like, involves Ghost Cores, Mind Melds, Fusion, Ecto/Psychovore etc. Which wasn’t what was happening on the dance floor.(Instead there was friction and thrusting, and physically rubbing up against each other)
Plus Danny died aged 14. And like Danny doesn’t even need to breathe so inappropriate boners for him are just. Not A Thing. Like Danny does get horny, does experience sexual attraction (though I also headcanon Danny as biromantic demisexual) but if Danny doesn’t want to get a boner, is not even thinking about getting one, he’s not getting a boner. That’s been his normal for a whole-ass decade and counting.
In comparison, his best friend Tucker, a (at least physically) normal human cis-male, is so jealous and has bitched about this very thing when they have Bro Talk. Vents especially about the times when a stiff breeze will get little Tucker to pay attention in public when he’s not even horny. Then there’s Jason getting stiffies whenever things get intense with Jason’s ghost core. All of this just reinforces to Danny that boners are things that just happen sometimes, especially when there’s friction or excitement, and that they don’t necessarily mean anything.
Jason suffers.
Hi! I haven't uploaded my Fic to Ao3 yet for the event, but I was wondering how to add it to the collection when I do. Do I apply for it or do you find it and then add it for me?
Hi! Thank you for the question!
You can add it yourself when you post the fic!
In the "New Work" screen, scroll down to Associations and type "dpxdcshipweek2024" in the box next to "Post to Collections/Challenges" and it should show up!
Collection is Moderated, aka we will approve it before it shows up in the collection. This is because since the SFW and NSFW events share the collection we wanted to have a chance to check that works are properly tagged. Just in case.
We check the submissions every day so it shouldn't take long for your work to show up ✌✨
as usual, this was meant to be a short thing and now it's very much not.
anyway.
to hell and back
Jason had never put any stock in love at first sight. It was a mechanic for hurrying along romance plots, not something that happened in real life. But if this wasn't love, he didn't know what it was.
----
Jason doesn't have time for love. He's got a gang to run, an Alley to protect, and some new idiots to track down and put in their place. Right up until he meets Jazz -- beautiful, witty, brilliant Jazz -- and he suddenly changes his mind. But it'll be fine. He can totally manage dating on top of everything else. And there's definitely not anything off about Jazz or her history or his reaction to her. Nope, everything is definitely, absolutely fine.
(It's really not.)

Every day will have an assigned flower with an associated meaning, and the idea was to group the dynamic and prompt with that meaning. Does that mean you have to use the flower? Not at all! But seems fun and as an extra challenge for this year's event.
You could call it a flower arrangement, right? 😎✌
Here's the list of prompts for the DPxDC Ship Week 2024!

Image ID under the cut
Ship Week: After Dark ‘24
There is a flower, activity, short prompt, and long prompt!
Pick one, two, three, or all four!
Day 1: Yellow Rose
“Past and Present, Jealousy, Cheating, Friendship, Cherishing.”
Thigh Fucking | Situationship
Fucking their frustrations out was just supposed to be an alternative solution instead of the bi-weekly, building-breaking fights. Not an invitation for feelings.
Day 2: Red Orchid
“Bravery, Passion, and Creativity”
Using Toys | Love Potion
They didn't realize what it was until they'd already drank it.
Day 3: White Peony
“Bashfulness, Apologies, Love.”
Oral Sex | Make Up Sex
After a long night, something slips and changes the relationship
I'm super happy to hear the Ship Week will be hosted again this year! I am a little strapped on time and have a few too many concurrent writing projects, so I hope you don't mind me asking:
Will there be a collection for the event?
If so, if/when does the collection close?
Do you want us to tag the posts with anything specific? I know for DPxDC Week we did #dpxdcweek2023 or something like that.
(Sorry for all the questions, I am criminally unprepared this time around. 😅)
Thank you for any possible help. 🙏
I'm so glad you're looking forward to it!!! And don't feel bad, February really is a weird month.
Will there be a collection for the event? When does it close?
Yes, there will be a collection! We have also been criminally unprepared so it hasn't been made yet, we've got a few more things to work out behind the scenes.
The collection will close when we post the prompts for Ship Week 2025! We're giving everyone a lot of time because we know this time of year con be hectic.
Do you want us to tag the posts with anything specific? I know for DPxDC Week we did #dpxdcweek2023 or something like that.
Yes! The main tag for this event is #dpxdcshipweek2024. It's a bit long to type out, but it does the job.
Optional ones are the day you're posting it or the prompt you're using. Whatever helps your organization!
