Many years ago I had a half-baked AU where Vlad was close with the Fentons until Danny got his powers, but they reacted really badly when his accident happened (I think I basically had TUE happen but without Danny's ghost half being evil), and Vlad ended up going to Clockwork and getting the timeline reset so that the canon show events would be almost entirely Vlad trying to make Danny stronger/happier behind the scenes. Never fully fleshed it out, but I think about that 'verse sometimes.
I would read the shit out of the story ngl
