“It’s still my job to protect you.” Vlad said resolutely, raising her chin so she’d look him in the eye. “And I will do everything and anything to keep you and your brother safe, but I need your help.” His voice had an undertone of hesitance, but Jazz nodded quickly.

“I can help.” She promised, grabbing his big hand in hers. Her hand shook slightly, but his were shaking too so she hoped he wouldn’t notice. “I can help keep Danny and you safe, I can be big.”

Vlad grimaced, shaking his head. “You don’t need to protect me. Danny and yourself are your priorities, understood? And as soon as this is over, you don’t have to be big anymore.”

Jazz smiled to make him feel better, and nodded like she believed him.

Jazz Fenton had been taking care of her brother since he was little. She’d changed diapers and taught him how to potty, she’d helped him learn to talk, and she was the one who sang him to sleep. Danny was her brother, but he was also like her baby, and that meant it had always been her job to keep him safe.

Jazz hadn’t been little in a long time, and she knew that she’d never be little again.

But that was okay as long as Danny was safe. Mom and Dad had trusted her to protect him, it was her job, and now she had to keep Vlad safe too.

Vlad don’t play favorites challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

The problem I’ve encountered with the fic is that Vlad loves both his children equally, but I, the writer, fucking love Jazz, so she gets a lot more attention. I’m working on correcting that before the main fic drops.

(For those unaware the fic is ‘You can’t carry it with you if you want to survive’ (Aka: Gotham Rogue Vlad Masters) and isn’t out yet, but the prequel (which is also full of Vlad and his kiddos) is out! Life Is What Happens To You )

What Danny phantom characters would you like to see in my DCxDP fic ‘You can’t carry it with you if you want to survive’ AKA Gotham Rogue Vlad Masters

(For those uninitiated, this fic follows a 29 year old Vlad Masters who adopted a 6 year old Jazz and 4 year old Danny in the wake of the Fentons death, and is now running from the government in a place he believes on one would look: Gotham. Also huuuge spoiler but he may or may not become a rogue lol)

The original draft of this story had none of the ghosts, but I think that’s a little boring. I already plan to have a few of these characters, but want to see what the interest is.

Keep in mind this takes place 10 years before Danny Phantom canon, so the ghosts may be different

(This is a repost because I forgot to make the poll last longer)

So who do you want to see?

Gotham Rogue Vlad Masters (GRVM) is up! Now officially called You Can’t Carry It With You (If You Want To Survive)

This fic is a direct continuation of the prequel Life Is What Happens To You where Vlad adopts a young Jazz and Danny Fenton after the death of their parents in a portal accident. The children had finally settled in and felt safe, only for everything to fall apart.

Now they’re on the run. They’re hurt. They’re scared. And the only place Vlad can think of that they can truly disappear is Gotham City.

This story is going to be very long and updates are irregular, but I’m excited. Especially for the Gotham rogue part.

Summary:

Perhaps out of curiosity, perhaps out of hatred, Vlad looked up his old friends.

They had just gotten married. Maddie looked just as beautiful in her wedding dress as he’d known she would.

-

They had kids now.

-

It had almost been ten years.

For those curious about how I write Gotham Rogue Vlad Masters, it’s pretty simple.

My outline is huuuge, currently it’s 17 pages while being very low on detail and mostly bullet points about plots.

Big outlines stress me out, so like I did with the prequel I write scenes at a time and stitch them together when I’m done. I know certain scenes and vaguely where they go, but it isn’t until I’ve written all the puzzle pieces that I can start glueing things together and making it mesh.

That’s why you may have noticed that the story jumps around a bit in the prequel, that’s just how I write best on big projects or else I’ll spend 4000 words on a chapter where nothing happens.

I plan to make big headway on the main fic before any is posted, aside from possibly the first chapter to give people an idea.

This is just a tone test as I'm currently reworking my main guitar tone a bit. I wasn't playing as tight as I should have so there's some kind of piercing picking sounds in there. Sorry about that.

I would really appreciate any feedback anyone has on how I might further improve the sound (other than playing better). If it’ll help I’ll gladly go into detail about what exactly I’m using.
