AU where Shane and Ilya don't hook up or have a decades-long secret. They don't really know each other at all, except to play each other.
Shane comes out of the closet sometime after Scott does, and in some random, lighthearted interview, they ask him what he's looking for in a man. And Shane's just, off-hand like, "Well, he'd have to have at least one Stanley Cup. Obviously." And when he gets a good reaction from that, he keeps going, like "Needs to be amazing at hockey. Definitely needs to be at least an All-Star, if not a captain. Hot too. If he can't bench-press me, I'm not interested."
And it's all in fun, except two days after the interview prints, Ilya Rozanov shows up at his door like "knock, knock. I am here to apply for boyfriend position. Do you need resume? I brought my Stanley Cup ring, just in case."
Casper High started replacing "God" with "Phantom". It started because a teacher started screeching at them for "Taking the Lord's name in Vain" whenever they would say "Oh My God" or "Goddammit" or something similar, so instead they would say "Phantomdammit" or "Oh My Phantom". It kinda started as a joke, but as time went on it became second nature.
Heres the thing though: a lot of Spiritual Entities get their power through belief. By invoking Phantom's name in a way thats synonymous with a God's, Casper High inadvertently turned Phantom into a God/God like being.
So yeah, Danny is a God now, he low key hates it, and he blames Dash. Mostly out of spite.
Do you all remember that episode of Danny Phantom where he finds out the âlast maleâ purple gorilla is actually female and basically saves the entire species? (Yes, you do).
So. Consider this:
What if after that whole incident Danny realizes it wasnât a one-off. It wasnât just ghost empathy or a fluke. He actually understands animals. Likeâfull comprehension. Not vibes. Not guesswork. Actual body language processing.
At first he thinks itâs just ghost-adjacent nonsense. Some weird liminal side effect of being half-dead. But then he starts noticing patterns. Birds arguing about territory. Stray dogs giving eyewitness accounts. Rats with municipal-level gossip networks.
And once he severs ties with Amity Park (because letâs be honest, that town does not deserve him), he doesnât go full broody hermit. He does something smarter.
Sam absolutely clocks the ethical implications immediately.
âDanny, this isnât just a power. This is regulatory leverage.â
So with her pushing him (and probably handling the paperwork because you know he would not), he goes legit. Registers as a consultant. Animal behavioral analysis, ecological assessment, investigative audits. Zoos. Factory farms. Research facilities. Private estates.
âThe tigers would like to discuss your ventilation system.â
He becomes a little famous. Not flashy Justice League famous. More like whispered-in-elite-circles famous. The kind of person corporations get nervous about.
Which is how he ends up in Gotham.
Cut to:
Danny standing in front of Wayne Manor after speaking to one of the Wayne pets.
Heâs polite. Unbothered.
âHi. So. Your bats asked me to visit.â
And somewhere deep in the Batcave, several hundred bats are absolutely losing their minds because FINALLY someone is listening.
Bruce is suspicious. Obviously.
Danny is just there like, âSir, your microchiroptera community has notes. Mostly about the acoustics. Also one of them thinks youâre emotionally constipated.â
And honestly?
Thatâs how the Wayne family gets a consultant who doesnât need hacking skills to uncover secrets.
Damian opens a social media platform explaining medical stuff to people when he's in medical school. Thus ensue stupid questions.
"Does an autopsy hurt?"
Damian stares at the question for a moment, and then grins evilly. It's time to call in experts.
Damian: So. Yesterday I received a question asking if an autopsy was painful. I have never had one performed on me, so I cannot personally answer that question. Though I can say, I've had no patient complaints.
Damian: HOWEVER, to answer your question: I have called in a pair of experts.
Jason: I don't fucking know, I was unconscious?
Damian: Alright then, serves me right for considering Todd an expert in anything. Danny, does an autopsy hurt?
Danny(Having visible war flashbacks): Yes. Yes it does.
Still mad about how everyone treats Neal like he's a criminal and therefore a monster and a morally inferior human being who will always be less than
When he is actually one of the kindest, most generous people, who never steals for greed, who is more than happy to use his particular skills to help people he cares about and even people he barely knows, who abhors violence and guns, and who regularly puts himself at risk for the people he cares about. With his particular set of skills, courage, and drive, he could be running the world. He could be an evil fucking mastermind, with a criminal empire, except that he is unwilling to use violence or hurt truly vulnerable people and also he just doesn't want to. It's not in him. It's not who he is. He just wants to live his life.
Everybody be treating him like he's the worst criminal ever when he actively actually chooses not to be and if he did choose to be the worst criminal ever, well....you would deeply regret it. Like I don't think any of the characters realize how truly dangerous Neal could be if he wanted to be. Except he's never wanted to be.
synopsis: jack abbot has had a shit day. luckily, his beautiful OBGYN wife is there to save his day.
contains: night crew!!, trinity santos being a menace, depictions of birth, jack being a simp, bad bitch reader, no use of y/n
note: first 'the Pitt' fanfic.
Being the lead OBGYN in PTMC emergency department was no easy feat.Â
You constantly handled STIs, infected IUDs and the occasional birth, but it was otherwise pretty calm.Â
They called you Bear, due to your calm yet assertive approach to distressed women. Not to mention it referred to âMama Bearâ, what almost all the interns and new residents called you at the insistence of Robby.
Overall, you truly loved your job. You got to spend time with women, babies, and your best friends.
Also, your husband worked in the Emergency Department, and you two always made it a show to flaunt your marriage in front of the residents.Â
.

Jack was tired.
He got shot. No, wait. Shot at. Thereâs a difference. A clear difference that he would highlight in your eventual fight over it.Â
Whatever, he was irritated as fuck.Â
And now he had all the new gen residents bitching to him about going analogue.
He entered a trauma room, followed by Dr. Santos, Dr. Langdon, student doctors Ogilvie and Joy and senior resident Ellis.Â
âOkay, Ms. Richards, can you tell us what happened?â He asked, frowning as he gazed over her chart.Â
Right, a woman was currently crowning the ER. Not the best situation, but it is what it is.
The woman cleared her throat, sweaty and crying as she held her bump. âMyâŠmy water broke while I was taking a hike. I had to go all the way back down before calling 911. I passed out and here I am.â She wheezed out.Â
Jack nodded, looking around. âJoy, what are we looking for?â He called out, gloving and gowning up.
âUhm-â
âChorioamnionitis. Her uterus may be infected.â Ogilvie cut her, looking over at Jack for approval.
The older man paused, dumbfounded at the cause. Great, Robby assigned him a Gunner.
Santos snorted from where she was getting the epidural ready.Â
âWeâre looking for horses, not zebras.â
The familiar voice made Jackâs muscles relax.Â
The familiar pink scrubs appeared in the room.Â
Everybody paused, before Ellis chuckled.Â
âThank God Dr. Abbotâs here, no offence Jack.â She snorted, already walking over to you instinctively.Â
You breathed out a smile, pulling your hair off your face. âThanks, Doctor Ellis.âÂ
You walked over to Jackâs side, giving him a teasing smile. âDr. Abbot, whatâs up with the patient?â
He cleared his throat. God, heâs whipped when you use that authoritative tone.Â
âWell, sheâs two weeks premature, and was having strenuous activity before the birth so that is the most likely cause.â You nodded, turning over to Ogilvie.
âShe would be over 100 degrees if it were chorioamnionitis.â You explained dryly, checking the patientâs vitals.
âDr. Abbotâs the expert here, dear future doctors. She's the head of OBGYN down here. She could probably birth triplets with her eyes closed.â Jack stated, trying to maintain an air of professionalism in front of them.
âI have. Remember Snowmageddon?â You said, nudging his side with your hip.
Langdon and Ellis, already used to all of this, were moving in tandem, while Santos, Ogilvie and Joy were nothing but flabbergasted.Â
âOkay, Ms. Richards. Iâm afraid weâll have to give birth to your baby girl right here. You are much too fragile to go up to L&D.â With a sigh, you sat on the chair and rolled over between her legs, pushing your glasses up.
Santos, ever the chaotic good that she was, cleared her throat. âDoctor Abbot?â She called out.
Both you and Jack looked over to her, eyebrows raised. She paused, looking between the two.
âMama Bear, epiduralâs ready.â Langdon called out. You nodded, going over to ask the patient if she wanted an epidural.
She nodded, gripping the railing of the gurney.
âOkay, Dr. Santos, epidural.â You ordered, adjusting the ladyâs legs on the stirrups.
âAre you two married?â Joy finally blurted out, looking between you two.Â
You paused, turning over to Jack for his answer.
He paused before nodding, crossing his arms. âYeah, yeah we are. Sheâs senior here though. She has about two years on me experience wise. But, yeah, weâre both doctor Abbot-â
âHoney?â You cut off his nervous rambling, looking up at him with those deep eyes of yours.Â
He mumbled out a sorry, turning back to the patient as she pushed. âYou guys can just call me Bear. Thatâs the nickname around here.â You mumbled, busy checking the dilation.
10 centimeters. Time to go.
âUh, no. You guys call her Dr. Abbot. Just call me Jack.â Your husband protested, gulping at your cautious glance.Â
Santos raised her eyebrows, surprised at the attendingâs insistence on keeping your doctor title.Â
âThatâs some feminist shit.â She said under her breath, earning a âI know thatâs rightâ from Ellis.
âOne last push, Ms. Richards.â You assured, hands ready to catch the babe while everybody else gossiped.
Jack watched you, eyes observing reverently as you entered flow state.
Thatâs what he loved the most about you, how focused you were when you were working.Â
The contrast of his beautiful and serious colleague from his caring and passionate wife always made his heart do a little twirl.Â
At one point, Langdon and Santos started bickering before a sharp cry cut them off.
You cooed gently, wiping the babyâs eyes. âLangdon, 9:30.â You called out the time of birth, carefully cutting the umbilical birth while Ellis grabbed the baby, bringing her to her mama.
You turned to Jack, grinning. âThink we donât need you here, Dr. Abbot.â You teased, waiting for the placenta.
He smiled, walking over to your side. âYou sure, Dr. Abbot?â
âYes, go help Robby. Poor manâs last day is already as bad as it can get.â You ordered, pressing a chaste kiss to his lips.
He blushed, nodding. âYes maâam.â He said with a small salute, leaving.
Trinity snorted, looking down at your expert hands. âThat was so weird.â
âWhat? Youâve never seen Abbot act like a puppy?â Ellis snorted, holding the metal tray under the woman as her placenta spilled out.Â
You always loved seeing the residentsâ reaction to you and your husband. Nothing could replace the dumbfoundedness on their faces.Â
Trinity nodded.
You sighed, sitting up with a backstretch. âHe knows how to abandon authority when Iâm around.â
Joy held back a grin. âThatâs some Alpha/Beta shit, Doc.â She hummed, bursting out into laughter at Ogilvieâs reaction.
âI donât even know what that is.â He grimaced.Â
You shrugged, throwing your gloves out. âWhat can I say? A man who yearns is a man who earns, girls.â You said, walking out to go page L&D.
Trinity and Joy followed your figure, sighing.Â
âI donât know if I want to be with her or be her.â Joy frowned.
