Phic Recs
Alright so my turn for the reveal phic recs thing *cracks knuckles* Reveal fics are my bread and butter (besides angst of course) so it was really hard to narrow it down. So I decided on phics that don’t get as much attention as others, given that they’re new or just not really paid any attention. Also I included five instead of three because that’s just extra
All It Takes Is A Sack of Flour by Sonic Squid
Summary: Casper High has its first ever all-boys lock in where Dash and Kwan decide to pull a little prank on Danny (no PP, One-Shot)
Why I Like It: In just a thousand words, this oneshot tells everything it needs to in the funniest way possible with good dialogue execution. Additionally, it’s not ridden with angst like most reveal phics are, and is generally lighthearted and silly - which is often scarce with these types of fics.
Shivers by JadeNoRyuu
Summary: When the Fenton parents went to investigate a strange phenomenon, unforeseen consequences began to stir a chain reaction that would lead to injuries, an odd medical issue (impossible for human standards) and the discovery of weird facts. Above all they're unable to call for help. What will they do?
Why I Like It: First off, the world-building and pacing in this phic is honestly just phenomenal. The plot slowly builds toward the reveal, as the Fenton parents gradually discover more and more information, leaving you anticipating every next moment. What I personally enjoy about this one is how it delves into the aftermath of the reveal, while most fics usually conclude after the reveal.
Summer Reveal by WritingDreamGirl
Summary: All was right in Danny's world. With Summer Vacation coming up, he and his friend's were finally going to get that vacation they so desperately deserved. But things take a slight detour when his mom tells him they can't afford the airfare. Her solution however, is the thing that really shocks him.
Why I Like It: Another short oneshot, this story leaves you wanting more yet is somehow still satisfying? This one really stands out to me since reveal fics are generally focused on drama while this oneshot does the opposite by presenting a casual scenario with just enough suspense to keep you hooked.
Third Time’s the Charm by Shadow Kat-Lyn
Summary: Danny knows he needs to tell his parents about Phantom, but he always backs out at the last second. A Danny/Maddie bonding fiction in four parts.
Why I Like It: Each part of this series just feels so natural whenever I reread it. It establishes the complicated tension in Danny and Maddie’s relationship in the first chapter, realistically straining it until everything eventually comes to light. Really wholesome read that you should check out if you’re a sucker for Danny/Maddie bonding, like me.
Unearthed by DarkNympha
Summary: In the stress of the events that followed the Accident, as Danny struggled to control his new-found ghost powers and as ghosts started attacking Amity Park, the trio completely forgot about the body that they had buried in the woods. Until someone found it.
Why I Like It: Alright, before I read this phic I was writing something very similar last Ectober, but this fic pulls it off much better than I would have. Suspenseful. Angsty. And a few awkward moments in between that at least made me laugh. It’s premise alone stands apart from most reveal fics, and the author’s fluid style contributes even more appeal.
Also, I don’t usually self promote but I thought I’d add a few of my own reveal(ish) oneshots: Tapes / Green / Power Surge / Their Possession / Colors Underneath / Under My Skin / Witching Hour
