I love your au! It's so precious! I was wondering how you imagine Dan fits into it?
so like, i don’t have a Dan design yet cause I haven’t thought that far ahead yet, I really want to have a solid footing before i tackle the big guy
but basically, the origin story is different. instead of his family/friends dying, danny’s secret comes out to his parents. and they don’t handle it well at all. they jump to conclusions, stay in denial and freak out, causing danny to run away. he Nopes out of there before they can come to any understanding.
sam and tuck try to comfort him, but they end up saying the wrong things because it’s a stressful situation and they don’t know how to handle it (hell, adults wouldn’t know how to handle this, how can 14 year olds?) i think jazz offers the best help but ultimately let’s danny move in w/ vlad because of financial issues.
vlad is both overjoyed to take in danny, but... knowing how maddie and jack turned their back on their son stings, and his forlorn love breaks and he’s heartbroken and betrayed on danny’s behalf. it’s a mix of “she could never love me as what i am” and “ok so she’s actually not that cool of a person to abandon her son like that so actually Yikes” (again, danny left before they could properly talk things out)
anyway, idk how exactly it builds up to Dan, but it does, and It Sucks For Everyone.
