All the fic I wrote for DannyMay '21! ✨ (link to entire ao3 series)
Linked in order, with the day, most relevant tags, and a brief summary of each.
(Originally spread across 5 posts, posted from: 9-13 June 2021)
Day 1: Memory — Blank Spaces — Dark Ages, Memory Loss, Angst
He doesn't remember who he used to be, but he has snippets of who he'll become and that will have to be enough. Surely the future has to be better then whatever past led him to here: injured and chained and with a man he's quite certain contributed to his injuries as his only companion.
The only thing he knows for sure, is that he won't cooperate -- he'll ensure all his captor's efforts are wasted, they won't control him even if he doesn't know why he initially refused.
Day 2: Home — Where the Heart Is — Dark Ages, Domestic Fluff, Sleep
Sometimes, home is your stubborn lover that never goes to sleep on time.
Day 3: Portal — Masters Portal — Lost Time, excerpt from my Invisobang fic (Danny grows up in GZ au)
There's a blocked off portal in the Zone, and Danny finally decides to visit it.
Day 4: Stars — The Brightest Burns — Dark Ages, Human au, Rockstar au, Angst
Pariah has been Cassius's manager since before they became Clockwork and has been in love with them just as long, but nothing will ever come of it. They burn too brightly to stick with something long enough to make it last.
Day 5: Doorway — More Than Bargained For — Outside Perspective, Corpse au
Officer Roald is not having a good day. Instead of chilling and writing traffic tickets like usual, he's out searching for the town's ghostly vigilante. At least he has Kite, the force's dog, to keep him company.
Day 6: Core — Second Chances — Dark Ages, Royal Family, Obsessions
Pariah doesn't know what his purpose is meant to be, now that he's gotten a second chance — but he knows what he'll make it.
Day 7: Illusion — Never to Be — Dark Ages, Time, Angst
The worst illusions are the ones you know to be real.
Day 8: Gravity — Stargazing — Royal Family, Constellations, Light Angst, Moving On
Sometimes, the most important part of something isn't the view itself, but the ones you're seeing it with -- and the night sky is even more special, when Danny knows he won't see it again for some time.
Day 9: — Candlelight — Dark Ages, Royal Family, Danny meddling, Romcom themes
Clockwork is avoiding Pariah. Danny decides to do something about it.
Day 10: Shadow — One Another — Lost Time, Slight Horror, Eldritch, Ghosts aren't ghosts
The Zone holds more than just ghosts, and Clockwork can't wait to see what Danny will become.
Day 11: Midnight — Past, Present, Future — Lost Time, Midnight, Time
Humans cannot affect time in the ways they hope to, and even if someone was to succeed one day… they would no longer be human by the end of it.
Day 12: Scars — You, Yours — Dark Ages, Scars, Possessive Behavior
Pariah has many scars, while Clockwork has just one. It takes a lot to scar a ghost.
Day 13: Daydream — Of You — Dark Ages, Daydreaming, Kissing
Some dreams are better than reality.
Day 14: Neon — Ceiling Stars — Royal Family, Post-Identity Reveal, Jack and Maddie Suck, Hurt/Comfort
Sometimes, a blank slate isn't the start of something new: it's just blank... but even then, those that care about you can help make it a little less empty.
Day 15: Nature — Of Trees and Teas — Kitsune Danny au, Yokai au
Adjusting to life as a fox spirit isn't easy, but Danny's getting the hang of it. Now if only the closest thing he has to a mentor would actually answer his questions, instead of sending him out to do tasks with no explanation.
Day 16: Glow — Next To You — Dark Ages, Human au, Rockstar au, Angst
If you love someone, let them go.
Day 17: Freedom — Caged — Dark Ages, Kissing, Implied Sexual Content
Pariah stares at Clockwork's blush and knows exactly what it means.
Day 18: Frozen — On Ice — Royal Family, Fluff, Pariah's a dumbass rip
Famous last words: “Boy, I’m a fire-core. There is very little chance of you freezing me.”
Day 19: Wings — Feathers and Freedoms — Dark Ages, implied Royal Family, Wing au, Hurt/Comfort
Everyone has wings, ghosts included. A ghost's wings are connected directly to their core, and can tell you a lot about the ghost.
Pariah isn't very happy with how Clockwork has been treating their own wings.
Day 26: Luck — Luck, or the Lack Thereof — Dark!Danny, Captivity, Hurt no Comfort, Arena/Coliseum au
When they first caught him, he tried keeping track of time. When that failed, he kept track of fights. After the hundredth fight, he stopped caring. Phantom doesn't know how long he's been held here and forced to fight, but he knows exactly what he's going to do when he gets out. If they're lucky, they won't even have time to regret catching him.
Day 27: Rain — Rainy Days — Veggie Burger, Past Everlasting Trio, Heartbreak, Angst
Danny is happy for them — really, he is — he just... would have liked to be part of it, too. Would have liked for it to still be an "us" instead of a "them".
'Till death do us part' doesn't really work for him though, so he probably should've been prepared for this.
