DP: PT AU - A Wish for Youth
I have a story prompt here for anyone who wants it. This is a Phantom Twins AU where Danny has a monozygotic twin sister named Diana, also called Dina or Di by her friends & family.
She was with Danny when the portal turned on. She's the medic of the group who's eventually gonna be a doctor & her core element is water(main)/ice(secondary) while Danny's is ice(main)/wind(secondary). She's skilled with shields & has the power to heal lesser wounds & make worse wounds less serious. She has the same Obsession as Danny, but the way she executes it is slightly different in that he sees protecting people as simply fighting off foes so people don't get hurt in the first place, while Dina does that, as well as gets them out of harms way & heals them when they do get hurt.
She's naturally beautiful & fashionable, yet modest in public & could easily usurp Paulina's spot as queen bee & even do so by being a better person, but she's confident & self-assured enough that she doesn't feel the need to. She can be manipulative, petty, & mischievous in the right situations, is very good at lying despite not being comfortable with doing so unless necessary, & a better, more patient strategist than Vlad. All things considered, if she didn't care about the wellbeing of others as much as she does, she'd make for a more competent & effective villain than Vlad.
The scenario involves Danny & Vlad having an argument outside of Fenton Works over something or other. Dina, Sam, Tucker, & Jazz were there, watching.
The Fenton parents had just come out to see what the commotion was when Danny accidentally wished that Vlad understood how it felt to be his age.
At that moment, Desiree appeared & granted his wish, turning Vlad into a stunned 16 year old, silver-haired teen in too large clothes.
I'm thinking that the cover story is that he's Vladimir David Masters Jr., only son & heir to Vladimir David Masters Sr., who just got back from boarding school. This way, he gets to keep his name at least.
I wanna see the fruitloop being put back in school & struggling with puberty & hormones & being frustrated with having to go through it all over again, as well as trying to manage several businesses & an entire town while maintaining his school work. I wanna see him completely outta his element!
Meanwhile, it's a mixed bag for Danny. On the one hand, he's enjoying the bastard's suffering. On the other hand, he has to see Vlad's ugly mug every day at school now. Maybe his parents punish him for creating this problem in the first place by requesting that Vlad be placed in every one of Danny's classes & making him guide Vlad? Subsequently, that means that he's also in every one of Dina's classes too.
I can also see Vlad being brought into the A-Listers because he comes from money & Paulina likely tries to flirt with him, but because he's sapiosexual, an amazon chaser, & has a thing for competence, he literally has zero interest in her & finds her to be both dull, weak, & too much of a damsel for his tastes.
Maybe Danny & Vlad start a rivalry in school. Also, because Vlad is a teen again & no one knows him, he's able to put more effort into things like gym, so he has no issues with showing off his less-than-human advantages & taunting Danny overtly. I could see Danny getting so ticked that he gives up on not excelling at gym & everyone is shocked.
However, Dina never tried to overtly separate herself from her Phantom because in this AU, they actually wear black domino masks to hide their identity per her recommendation, so she already lets herself loose at gym whereas Danny was always overly paranoid about it.
I also see Danny holding off on helping to find Desiree until after the spell is permanent. Then, not starting his search until he notices that Vlad & Dina were getting too friendly.
Interesting thing, when Vlad, Danny, & Dina get into fights as ghosts, it quickly becomes very obvious that even just one of the twins is far stronger than him & that's primarily because they have to fight on a daily basis while Vlad never had to. It is in this moment that they learn that most of Vlad's advantages over the twins had to do with age rather than experience. This humiliates the man-turned-teen & it motivates him into actually training. At least as far as being beaten by Danny, learning that Dina can do the same causes a very different reaction in him. He always did have a thing for women who could kick his ass.
One final thing, they kept the uniforms from Eye for an Eye, only instead of red, white, & blue, they're the same but with mulberry purple sweater vests, black & royal blue plaid skirts/trousers, black socks & dress shirts, & royal blue ties.
Here's a picture of Dina in her uniform, both at age 14 & age 18:
You can do whatever you want with this story beyond these few stipulations so long as it ends with VladxDina & Vlad deciding to remain 16 to be with her.
Vlad is sapiosexual, gynephilic bisexual, & heteroromantic. He has a masters in engineering & ectoengineering, while Dina is a chemistry/biochemistry/ectochemistry, biology/marine biology/ectobiology, & medicine/pharmacology genius. Though, she'll eventually gain more experience as an engineer through the medium of biomedical engineering. They both enjoy debating & I'm looking for a moment when they're debating, circling each other, sizing each other up, then they realize that they've just found someone on their level.
For other pairs, it can be either Amethyst Ocean & Hunter Silly or Grey Ghost or Everlasting Trio or whatever you choose.
Vlad & Dina have several things in common. They both like literature (Dina prefers fiction, adventure, fantasy, & mystery while Vlad likes both fiction & nonfiction, horror, revenge, & mystery; they both enjoy classic literature), chess (Vlad is who taught her), debate (they are always civil & it never turns into an argument despite having a lot of very different views, but both Vlad & Dina enjoy Filibustering a bit), food & baking (Vlad's a foodie & used to bake with his mother so it has a soft spot for him, while Dina is one of the only 2 people in her house who can cook, she's interested in food history & researching unique & interesting recipes, as well as recipes that never should've gone out of style; they both have sweet tooths), plays & theater (Dina specifically enjoys musical theater), dancing (it's one of Vlad's old passions, he's teaching Dina), & music (Dina has eclectic tastes in music, enjoying country rock, classic rock, jazz, & classical; she saved up to buy a violin & she's pretty good at it, but isn't interested in being some prodigy, she just does it for fun, so her improvements are slow, while Vlad likes classical, rock, & punk, is an exceptional pianist & was the bassist for Skunk Punk).
For a better understanding of Dina as a person & her relationship with Vlad, go here:
An AU where Danny is born with a twin sister, Diana who prefers to be called Dina (die-nah), but her loved ones sometimes call her Di.

Careful, it's a very long post.
(Side-note: High-key, I feel like Dash is a complete bisexual mess for both the Fenton Twins & the Phantom Twins, though his crush on the Phantoms are more a celeb crush than anything. With the Fentons, he tries to cover up his crush on Danny by bullying him while he just hits on Dina like he does Jazz, but he's secretly crushed every time she shuts him down.)
