How about, because Danny ends up Isekai'd together with Dani.
That did lead to an error. And we got no Villainess Vs Heroine for the OG Male Lead.
But the same story, but childcare.
Ellie wanted a cool story. And up in a childcare with Danny.
And Danny seems to enjoys this a bit too much. Dani looks adorable and tiny.
Well
For the OG!FL, who was too a Isekai. (I did think of a White Lotus or Green Tea) Who wanted to ruin her rival for her love story before it started!
And see the very tiny Villainess. Well, she did go hardcore anti OG!ML after that. Like super disgusted at the OG!ML, and started to think, how does the OG FL even have a rivalry with that tiny girl?
“Jaskier…” Gerald’s voice was filled with… a lack of emotion. But there was definitely a hint of concerned disappointment.
The Bard was starting at him in confusion, quite indifferent to the creature curled over his shoulders and staring at Geralt with unnaturally green eyes that seemed to glow even in midday light. It resembled a human child, if a human child could glow, had hair that was whiter than freshly fallen snow, floated, and had some sort of spectral tail instead of legs. Said tail was lazily wrapping around Jaskier’s left arm, the other half barely peeking over his right shoulder, little white clawed fingers gently curled over the shoulder.
The only reason he hadn’t drawn his sword was fear that the creature could slice off the Bard’s head before he could even touch his weapon. Jaskier didn’t seem to realize the danger he was in. That was some sort of specter, he wasn’t sure if it could be a wraith or a banshee, though banshees were thought to be only female spirits, either ghost was extremely dangerous.
“Come on, he has to be related to you! Look at his hair! And freaky eyes!” Those ‘freaky eyes’ were still staring at Geralt, wide and filled with some sort of emotion… not anger… curiosity? “You and Ciri have white hair! And weird eyes… oh wait this may actually be Ciri’s kid…” Jaskier trailed off, probably remembering the woman’s green eyes. “But no… this kid is too old and she’s what? 20? 25?”
“Jaskier!” Geralt snapped, causing the Ghost to flinch down behind Jaskiers shoulder, instead opting to stare at him from under Jaskier’s stretched out arm.
“Look, this is a kid with…” he glanced at the ghost, “weird… everything! I thought maybe you would at least know what to do!”
“We send it back to the grave is what we do.”
The ghost’s eyes went even wider and it pulled back fully to hide almost entirely behind Jaskier, the only indication that it was still there being it’s tail still being wrapped around Jaskier’s arm, which the Bard continued to throw around. “Oh for fucks sake-!” The bard swore, twisting to look at the Spector behind him, “you made him cry! Damnit Geralt, I know you aren’t a gentle bloke but he’s only 14! You know what!! Fuck you! I don’t need your help!!” Jaskier threw up his arms, spinning away from Geralt and exposing the ghost for a split second, before the ghost realized this and quickly scrambled to hide from Geralt’s view behind Jaskier again.
That split second was enough for Geralt to take in more information. He wore some sort of leather armour, dyed pitch black, his clawed fingers also appeared to be covered with white dyed leather gloves, and he had a white dyed leather belt around his waist with various pouches hanging off of it. Then there was the fact that the Spector wasn’t transparent. In fact, it was completely solid. That thing wasn’t a ghost. Not completely.
“Come on, kid. We don’t need the big scary Witcher!”
“That’s a Witcher?”
If Geralt hadn’t faced monsters and death on a daily basis, he would have jumped at the small voice that echoed from the creature, the noise not natural in any aspect and lingered on the ears. “Jaskier, that thing will kill you!”
Jaskier angrily spun around again, causing the creature scramble to hide again as the Bard pointed an angry finger at him, “this ‘thing’ has saved me way more than you ever have! And! And he was way more gentle about it! Do you know how much it hurts when you get saved and your saviour tells you it’s because you were acting stupid? Of course not because all you do is stare and grunt and give those looks- that look! That look right there!” Geralt was tempted to roll his eyes. “Danny, here, he saved me and then he asked if I was okay after! You never ask me if I’m okay! Just grab me and toss me then disappear like you always do!” This caused Geralt to pause.
“He… saved you?” He carefully asked.
Jaskier paused mid rant, “uh, yeah! Something about a burning building, the details aren’t important but basically he flew in, picked me up, flew me through a wall and saved me from burning alive. Everyone else in town chased him out after he saved their asses and I went looking for him. Introduced myself, shared a little tune I made for him while I was looking for him, and he hasn’t left my side since.”
“Ghosts don’t do that.”
“This one does! And Danny is the best companion I ever had! This kid can knock a bear out with a punch! So I would rather you not kill my brand new favourite person.”
“You can’t kill a ghost, they are already dead,” Geralt deadpanned.
“Danny isn’t a ghost,” Jaskier sneered.
Geralt sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose, “then what is he, expert of monsters and beasts?”
“That’s why we came to find you! Danny doesn’t know, and I don’t know, so we thought you would know! But if I knew you were going to bloody threaten him, I would have asked someone else!”
Geralt paused again, “… he doesn’t know what he is?”
“No!” Jaskier exclaimed, then glancing behind him to the ghost- whatever it was, still clinging to his back. The Bard seemed to listen to the whispered voice of the not ghost, then looked up at Geralt. “He says to throw all your weapons in the bush. And your belts of creature hurting objects.” The not ghost was peeking over Jaskier’s shoulder again, still hiding. If this thing could knock out a bear, why was he so scared of Geralt? It sounded like he had the potential to kill a Witcher.
Geralt didn’t ask why. He just grunted. This thing had been docile so far, and if anything got messy… he still had a bit of magic up his sleeve.
He did as the not ghost asked and dumped all his weapons and tools out of reach, holding up his hands to show he was unarmed.
The kid slowly uncurled from Jaskier, slipping off his shoulder and still hiding behind the bard. He peeked out from behind Jaskier’s waist, before slowly stepping fully out from behind him.
His tail was gone, replaced with legs.
Then there was a flash of light, causing Geralt to blink rapidly and look away. When he looked back, the not ghost was gone. And so was the strong aura of death, only hints still lingering around the child that stood where the not ghost had been.
Raven hair, eyes an ethereal pale blue, and inverted armour to that of what the not ghost had been wearing.
Despite it all Geralt could smell the one thing that confused him more than anything he had encountered yet.
Danny goes on vacation but instead of gotham he goes to Coast City. Notorious ghost city with higher ectoplasm levels than Amity Park. its basically one of the few peaceful ghost-human settlements in the dc universe
Questions for werewolf AU: Are all the kids the same age and are they all bio siblings? (Wondering since I loved the post about wolves being v pro-fostering) How did Clarke and Lexa get together? Do they know any other werewolf families?
they’re all around four years old and all but madi and lily are adopted. Aden is the oldest at 5 (nearly six) and technically their first, his birthday is in december. Danny and Jack were born in the same month (july) and adopted together but aren’t related. they’re four. Lily is 3 and was born in march, and then madi was born late april, she’s one (18 months at the start of the fic in october)
Most of them were taken in while Lexa and clarke still lived far out in werewolf territory. Real rural, but close enough to their own families. they enjoyed the freedom. the openness and nature. Lexa comes from a relatively long line of werewolves and works as a ‘for hire’ detective alongside Anya (not related. from like a sister pack, and while she has werewolf blood, anya can’t transform. She’s a part of a human-werewolf pact/program/organization thing where there’s this mutual… help each other out kind of thing. ie using werewolf senses for detective purposes. She gets lexa her work) to help find criminals who escape into the woods. Clarke is from a more recent line of werewolves, and they meet thanks to mutual acquaintances (?). Clarke’s mother specializes in werewolf anatomy and health and both her mother and father currently work (slowly) to breach the cultural gap between werewolves and humans.
Besides Anya tho, i want to say there’s like a side family of werewolves run by gustus. he helped raise lexa when she was young.
they’re together for about two years before finding Aden kind of like abandoned out in the middle of nowhere. he’s one year old at the time and it’s not a common thing?? to find werewolf children just left to themselves. so they’re confused and concerned and they take him in to keep an eye on him while they try to find his family but they never do and by that point they wouldnt want to give him up anyway.
Lily is born two years later. For awhile they have this little family out in the woods and its them trying to like figure out parenthood for the first time because lily is something completely new and its hectic but they love it.
Jack’s parents and Danny’s parents were hunted (their parents were close friends). They’re two when they arrive at Abby’s hospital late at night and their almost immediately taken under clarke and lexa’s wing.
Madi is born the next year and when she turns one Lexa and clarke talk about moving. i n the beginning of october they pack all their things and with the help of anya, they move out to the suburbs.
