"I lost everything. What's left?" "Time. You still have time."
happy phandom truce to @pennerjones ! one of the prompts was for danny to be adopted by clockwork, so i went with that one. i figured it could happen after a disastrous identity reveal where danny has to flee to the ghost zone because the human world isn't safe anymore. this would move pretty nicely into a clockwork's apprentice au. in this scene, i was thinking that since time and space are kind of two sides of the same coin, maybe that could contribute to clockwork being a comforting presence for danny in a time where he desperately needs some sort of familiarity. hope you like!
