Summary: Jack and Maddie have finally managed to catch Phantom, and they can't help but take notice how similar his outfit is to their own.
Comments: Jack and Maddie catch Phantom with the expectation to catalog him and release to avoid the wrath of Amity, and while Danny is pretty much high their categorization starts to make them uncomfortable even before they realize he's wearing Fenton gear.
I love the slow realization of it, how its through science they realize Phantom is Danny's ghost, how it's while doing an observational study they start to reevaluate and question things. They originally come to the wrong conclusion, but the result is the same - the Fentons vowing to do right by Phantom.
This truly had the chance to turn into a solid whump fic, but instead morphed into warm hearted family feels and I love that.
