in this post i will list the henry danger fics i've written that i really like because i like having them all in one place and if people like what i have to say about hd they might like reading these fics too. i tend to develop my interpretations of characters through writing so these fics really are a very important part of my thought process and i'd like to have them easily findable
first up is the fic that basically caused my entrance into the hd fandom, it was your heart on the line. it's set shortly after henry is found on mount swellview after the blimp crash and i tried to depict how everyone is feeling about that and i think i wrote henry and ray's relationship particularly strongly here. months later i wrote a fic that's kind of a sequel to this (and that i put in the same series) in which henry is struggling with what he's going to do now and jasper and charlotte try to help, the stinging light of dawn. my most recent fic set after the blimp crash is all the king's horses and all the king's men in which i tried to explore henry's psyche through the eyes of all his friends, i'm pretty proud of it!
another fic where i tried to kind of explore henry's psyche and have another character offer him comfort is i will soften every edge, in which ray realises the implications of henry saying he's nothing in hour of power and does his best to fix it. it's kind of cheesy but i still really quite like it
every time you smile there's a crack and i can understand is the first hd fic i ever posted! this one is about ray and jasper, ray is confronted with how the way he treats jasper hurts him and they talk about it. putting this one here because it's the only ray & jasper fic i have and i'd like to put as many different relationship and characters as possible in this list
S-O-R-R-Y (terrible title, i know) does something similar - henry is made to realise that he doesn't always treat charlotte very well after she gets mad at him when he sidelines her concerns about ray entering the spelling bee in spelling bee hard. i like this one because it's one of my few fics featuring charlotte's pov and some really important parts of how i view henry's character are described here. and then there's another fic about how charlotte is treated, loyalty. in this one she realises just how much she's given up for henry and what does she get for it? and jasper is there for her as she begins to work through her feelings about this
okay i've got two more fics featuring charlotte and then i'll move on. and i get caught up in all of my thoughts again is one of my less popular fics but also one of my favourites - basically jasper takes charlotte from the man cave in the fate of danger and charlotte struggles with not having been able to save henry this time. it's a really early glimpse into her character (it is in fact the 3rd hd fic i ever posted) but i still really like it. and the other one is from superpower to nacho tower, it's not super amazing or anything but i still like it because it deals with the emotional implications of henry being forced to undergo that procedure for his hypermotility by one of his best friends (ie charlotte)
next is a piper & henry fic! i should really write more about them, they're so great. anyway the fic is growing sideways, after the events of captain mom piper asks henry why she can't just fight crime and henry snaps and for the first time ever admits that maybe he shouldn't have taken his job and piper gets a glimpse of all his inner turmoil. i really like this fic tbh. another fic about them is sister twister: the aftermath. the title is pretty self-explanatory, basically they talk and piper tries to reconcile her image of kid danger with her image of henry and begins to get to know a new side of her brother. i like this one too. i just like henry and piper's relationship
i also have a few henry/jasper fics i'd like to put here but first, a henry-centric s1 fic: henry needs a hug. this one isn't super crucial to my whole interpretation of him i guess but i still really like it. it's a little exploration of henry's relationship to touch in season 1 - he starts flinching away from people all the time as a result of getting used to being hit by bad guys, everyone worries and jasper helps
i think when the current gets strong is also worth a mention because it's about what i consider to be a turning point in henry's whole development - his break down in danger games. basically he's just super stressed and jasper and charlotte do their best to comfort him
and now the henry/jasper! i have a few not serious fics about them that i don't really care much about but i do also have fics that genuinely show how i think of them pretty well. you're here, that's the thing is probably a good one to bridge the gap between henry character work and henry/jasper fic - this is both really. henry takes care of jasper after he gets sick and feels uncomfortable being tender and soft for kid danger reasons but in the end all that matters is how deeply they care for each other <3 another one where henry struggles with displaying affection and softness (but he gets to have it anyway) is your hands are at the ready to take me home again, where henry is craving another hug like the one in back to the danger but he feels stupid asking for it but jasper notices something's up and henry gets his hug anyway. i really really like this one
then there's one that's really quite small but still significant to me, these little words, somehow they're changing us. i think that in s1-2 jasper felt really insecure in his friendship with henry and charlotte and that only really lessened after i know your secret so this fic deals a little bit with that insecurity and henry assures jasper that he and charlotte still like him. this is fairly important for my view of their relationship and jasper's character so i think it's worth a mention
another one that's really important for the way i think of their relationship is this makes my heart flutter in my chest - a really short 5+1 where henry takes care of jasper after green fingers and jasper realises he's in love with him. and in my mental timeline of their relationship this is really when jasper realised that so yeah this is an important fic for that
the last type of fic i want to highlight is where s5 henry is sleepy and lets himself be affectionate with jasper for once and jasper happily receives the affection. i just love sleepy fluff and i think it works particularly well for this pairing - the gentleness in their relationship is so important for me so these fics are really important to me as well. plus they're cute. fics with this theme are let's just say we're inches apart and even closer at heart, i've given it all away (but some things are mine), the whole world, it is sleeping (but my world is you) and blijf nog even (despite the dutch title this is in fact written in english). what can i say, i really like fluff
so yeah. those are all my fics that are important to my interpretation of henry danger in some way and that i really like. this is about as complete as a picture of my hd fics (and thereby my interpretation of the show) you're going to get so yeah. there's more of them than i thought so that's neat. and i will probably add things to this later on if i post something i really like. for now though i am going to bed
