I love dp x DC stories in which Ghost King Danny is summoned in his full Eldritch form and scaring the shit out of everyone. I also like it when it combines with aus of him talking in ghost speak and the translation gets wrangled, so he sounds a lot more threatening than he means to.
But in those stories ... his name doesn't really fit. What Eldritch God would be called Danny? Even Phantom isn't that scary.
Then I realized that if ghost speak gets translated wrongly and Danny said his name in ghost speak ... wouldn't it be translated wrong too?
And Daniel means God is my Judge in Hebrew while Phantom of course is a kind of ghost.
So,
The Justice League has summoned Danny and he doesn't realize that he's in his Eldritch form. His skin is black and filled with galaxies constantly being born and dying. His eyes are two endless black holes. His hair is the flash of the big bang. He's terrifying and awe-inspiring.
As he speaks, it sounds like millions of beings screaming in agony before breathing their last breath.
And then Danny says "Hi! My name is Danny Phantom, the Ghost King, how can I help you?"
But what the JL hears through the translation is: "I am the Judge of Gods and the restless Dead, Ruler of the Infinite, for what purpose hath thee summoned me?"
In Gotham University where Jason is studying literature, while Danny is studying engineering. Nobody knew how they even met, but they both showed up one day going out with each other.
Nobody knew why exactly Jason, who is an absolutely beefcake, built like a fridge, was with a guy that totally looks like a loser. He was tinier than Jason - a complete twink-, he often gets up to run to the bathroom citing stomach problems, once you set him off about something, he'll never stop yapping about it.
So, one brave student went up to Jason and asked the question. Why him?
Jason just smirked and tilted his head at Danny.
"Open your mouth."
Danny does so obligingly in confusion. What he didn't know nor did he realise was that once he did, his features started to distort, looking more...not human.
His teeth were sharp and jagged, his mouth was like a gaping abyss, so dark that the only thing that you see was more and more teeth. His eyes took more of a green hue, skin turned paler, and his freckles shone like the stars.
Danny then rolled out his tongue, which came out long and serpentine, flicking it a bit before rolling it back into his mouth, becoming normal once more.
Jason gave a lovesick lustful look at him.
The student immediately understood and simply said 'Have a nice day', because they get why. Teratophilia is a thing, people.

-------------------------------
The creature- boy bit his lip. Before suddenly just ripping his arm off and holding it out to Tim.
"Trade" the boy answered, still bleeding.
The living humans eyes widened. Does that mean they still like to study his body parts? Was he in shock, due to such a great offer? Oh no he did something wrong didn't he. The human didn't look happy or delighted. He looked horrified or was it fascination? Danny didn't know.
"Are you alright?" The human sounded distressed.
What a strange question to ask. Why wouldn't he be? It's just an arm. He could just regrow another one. So Danny tilted his head.
"Please don't ripped anymore limbs of your body" The human pleaded, still clutching the brush tightly.
Danny shrugged. If he doesn't want it, then what else could he offer the human for the brush? Danny questioned himself while putting his arm back on his shoulder. Well that was his plan at least, because it didn't heal immediately.
Raven was using an ancient forbidden ritual to Pariah King of the infinite realm to stop Trigon and Darkseid to stop them from taking over this universe. The proper gift in term in the book for the ritual to be accepted said to be her firstborn whenever she were to have one, and it seemed the ritual was accepted.
She expected some old man in dark ancient armor to come out of the summoning ritual portal, except it wasn't Pariah King who came out.
A aurora crown floated upwars, then a white blob emerged only to be white long hair that kept going upward, growing longer and longer tall silhouette nearly 12-14 feet tall.
Hundreds of thousands of tiny stars in the white hair swirling toward the face with pointed ears, forming into three glowing yet dull green eyes with darken specks of stars underneath the eyelids and cheeks, a blackish blue like breaking open like a tear to reveal sharp gleaming white teeths, a dark blue tongue.
The clothes that this entity form beneath that resemble 1980s hazmat clothes that flickered from and to a royal clothes with jewels of tiny planet yet unnerving as if it haven't decided which to be and out of place that nearly made Raven's eyes wanted to avoid looking at it.
She didn't falter nor didn't flinch as this being glanced at the ritual symbols, tilting his head as if interested before before the three eyes looked back at her that made her heart wanted to stop as the used to be dulled eyes sparkled a bit.
Then, the being grew smile that would've made the Joker cry, Much to Raven's inner horror and nearly every empticlones in nevermore screaming at her to run and hide.
"I, Phantom, Prince and Savior of the infinite realms from the Mad King, Defender of Pandora's box, Balancer of Time, accept your gift." The voice was barely a whisper that almost sounded rich smooth as velvet, yet loud enough to hear clearly to raven.
With a simple wave of his long, arachnodactyly fingers as if waving off an annoying fly before shrinking slowly with a gleam of white light evenly enveloping to reveal a 9'4 foot tall lanky bat adoption bat guy.
Black long-haired, put in a clumsy doubled braided with blue and red flowers, held polka dotted scrunchies, girly hair clips with unicorn themes, soft blue eyes that were redish in the corner and a soft delicate face that Raven definitely wasn't ogling in her nevermore mindscape.
"Thank you for accepting the courtship."
"Your welcome."
....
....
Raven's mind blanch a bit realizing what he just said.
"Wait, What?"
...
...
Danny was doing just fine, just fine indeed as he was sitting in Jazz’s house, his niece rebraiding his hair as he shoved another giant handful of Fudge brownies into his mouth.
Ellie was moving into her boyfriend six month ago, and there was nothing Danny could do seeing his little girl move on without him.
Empty nest syndrome Jazz and his parents told him. Sam suggested another online dating, but being a famous, well-known Savior of Earth after Disasteroid came a lot of girls and even boys who see danny as a hero or for his fame and fortune instead of Danny.
Not to mention the ghosts, the stupid eyeballs trying to present another candidate for him to Wed which he refused.
He has used raising ellie as the common excuse that turned into actually doting parenting, but now..
He couldn't go back to his haunt castle after she moved out without burying himself in her childhood room, holding her old worned out red beanie hat that she didn't wear anymore.
Kids grow up and move on from their parents, but they always come back when in need.
He did something out of impulse due to his empty nest syndrome, which was going a bit haywire by the day and Sam, Val and Tucker won't let him bring them over to hang out especially when they are busy.
He made a ritual with clockwork help that randomly appeared in any other dimensions, then his own to pick the right person to court at the right time.
