So, I couldnāt find who posted about there being a DP ballerina AU and how they couldnāt find the og post, and this may not be the post, but i was inspired. Now onto the AU.
(Click on it for better quality, the @ is my TikTok acc!)
When Danny was young, his sister, Jazz, was just beginning to get into psychology, and read how exercise helps the brain and clear up peopleās thoughts and yada yada. So, wanting to test this theory out, she asked her little brother, Danny, to help her. She tried many times to get him into the little league try outs for all, I mean all of the sport. But Danny, poor poor sweet Danny, was being bullied out of all the sports. So, in one last ditch effort, Jazz signed him up for one of the most grueling sports she could think of that none of those boys would touch with a ten foot poll.
And so the spark of passion was lit, and the flame kept growing inside of Danny. Of corse, he hid that flame at school. Already he was consider an outcast, and least they knew his most favorite activity. As time went on he finally had some friends, Sam and Tucker. Once they learned one of his passions, they demanded to see him preform. So they worked out a time and date, and went home for the night, and unfortunately for themā¦
And when that day came, and they had set up, tucker hit play and Danny started dancing. It was like watching the cosmos slowly spin around them, taking their breathes away until the were gasping at every little movement.
Until the others showed up, and suddenly those were gasp from pain. The A-listers of Amity had decided to ruin the little performance. Destroying the make shift stage, the speaker, and even dumping black paint all over Danny and his ballet shoes, painting them black. And as soon as it started, it ended, and the only thing left still intact was the flowers Sam had brought for him. After all, dont you give flowers as a sign of congratulations?
And so with tears streaking down his face and eyes full of rage, eyes that had been full of pure euphoria before, he stomped on home. His friends trailing behind him worryingly. And when he slammed the front door open?
His parents were still in that damn lab
His anger and anguish soon took over and he stomped down into that stupid lab to get his parents. After all, ballet shoes were expensive and needed to be replaced. The stairs creaked and he walked down them, and creaked even more with his friends rushing after him.
His parents werenāt there
Letting a frustrated scream, he looked over at their desk to see if they left any sort of indication as to where they went. It soon became to clear that they were mourning for the giant metal death trap built into the wall. It hadnāt worked so in their disappointment, they went to get something to cheer them up.
Whipping his head up, he could hear the murmuring from his friends get even louder, but Danny didnāt care, and so he marched into the death trap and looked for what went wrong. Suddenly the wet paint finally decided to act as a wet liquid does, and Danny started to fall. He barely caught himself on a little box inside of the death trap, and his foot landed on on something that gave slightly. He only registered a click before
When Danny finally awoke, its was to a white ceiling with Jazz over him.
Sobbing, why was she sobbing?
āIām sorry Danny, Iām so, so sorry.ā She kept repeating the mantra between tears. His mouth felt as if aunt Alicia had stuffed raw rhubarb down his throat agin. Everything hurt.
Everything besides his legs, why couldnāt he feel his legs?
Tears slowly started to fall down his face, the fire withered to nothing but a little ember burning his insides. He knew, Danny knew what that meant, and he knew what that would end in. Slowly the world goes fuzzy, and everything goes silent, only the blinding light above burned into his eyes. Looking away, he watched to what could almost be a silent movie of his sister yelling furiously at his parents, most likely going on about how they ruined his life.
The warmth started to spread from his toes, slowly wrapping around his legs, hugging his torso and delicately grasping his arms. When he looked at them, they were pitch black, absorbing the light around them. The vine like thing was pulsing almost like a comforting lullaby. And slowly, he started to get up, he could feel the vines on his legs, they were shifting and joining, breaking apart and repeating.
The shocked faces of the adults and children alike stared at him like he was a miracle. Like he just defied death and the punishment it gave for defying it. He took slow steps over to where his parents are. The numbness never went away, and he seemed to be the only one to see the inky tendrils.
His foot falls were like gun shots across the room. His slow walk ended a few feet in front of his parents. He could see the bottom of his mothers face and his fathers sternum. Looking up through his bangs, he said words that would kill almost any parent.
āI hate you so much that it hurts.ā
The cries of out rage from his parents were like buzzing bees as he breaks into a sprint down the hall. The doctors and nurses and parents and patients alike couldnāt even seem to snag the back of his gown. He briefly registered that a cop car pulled up before sprinting down an alley way.
And then, when he heard the foot falls of the security and police?
And with a blinding light, stood a predator in sheepās clothing. And the police and security ran back to the building and cars respectively. The āchildā wasnāt a child, not to them at least, after all,
āāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāā
In this AU Danny is more of an eldritch horror then cute little ghost boy.
His sister new the second she saw the monster responsible for the entire hospitals shut down that, that was her little brother.
Danny was later found at home humming happily to himself, coloring in his nasa sketch book and swinging his legs.
As time goes on Danny keeps getting bigger and bigger, almost twenty ft tall in his ghost form, and 6ā7 in his human form.
His parents know something is up, and that the monster, because that thing could never have been a ghost, not once, is connected to this, but they just donāt know how
Danny still does ballet, but this time with more vigor, keeping up and making sure he is on par with the female dancers, because now he has power and he needs away to control it. And what better way then a form of art thats all about control?
Everything goes the same, except Danny isnāt even disliked, no heās feared and he doesnāt mind it, it helps him get fights over faster and lets him dance under the moon and stars.
If you wanted to you can do a crossover, but this post is already to long, and i might make another post for this Au for a cross over later.
Alternatively magical girl AU ā ļø
