Idk why but dp and bb crossovers are so funny to me like imagine just being a ghost kid trying to do your job and this smug demon won't leave you alone because he knows you aren't completely human and just wants to reveal your secret for fun

Danny and Seb lowkey get into a competition to out inhuman the other as an intimidation tactic until they're complete monsters at this point and Ciel is in the middle just so goddamn exhausted. He just wants to find the people who murdered his family and die in peace.

I've gotten enough asks that I now have a plan for this au haha: Danny accidentally goes through a time portal in the Zone into BB Victorian London and can't get back through it before it closes. He's trying to find a portal when he runs into some other supernatural beings in London which also leads him to Ciel and Seb. They initially peg him as a reaper but he's pretty obviously Something Else. So they do the same thing they do when they find a talented, powerful, stupid and lost being capable of causing massive harm; they take him back to the manor and give him a job.

Danny doesn't really get a choice in this, Ciel basically strong arms him with a deal: he will use his abilities (of which Danny doesnt really tell them what he can and can't do, he doesn't trust them as he shouldn't) to help Ciel's mission and Ciel will provide Danny with sanctuary as well as search for a way home for him. It's a stalemate but get the following delightful situations.

- Danny has to admit he's from the far future and, to excuse his powers, pretends everyone in the future has supernatural abilities. The things he tries to bullshit are hilarious.

- The servants a d o r e him, he's barely older than their young master but has also bene through some shit while also remaining a sweetie. They would die for him even though he could probably take them all, except Finny, out. Danny has no idea he just got new uncles and an aunt. They try and teach him Victorian England stuff, Danny is working on teaching Finny to skateboard. It's great fun.

- Danny finds himself strangely relaxed in this foreign land and time to be more of himself? Especially around Seb, like yeah he's devious and evil and manipulative but that's just Vlad only more polite. When the humans aren't around they let out their more inhuman traits until even Ciel is getting disturbed. The servants are desensitized by now and think it's great fun.

- Danny actually running into reapers and being like 'hi what the FUCK are you doing with a 21st century lawnmower/chainsaw' and they're like 'hi what the FUCK is a ghost hybrid from 200 years from now doing here?' everyone is confused and there's lots of yelling.

- They get so much sneaky shit done with Danny around who is very much stressed out. He is 14 and committing actual treason in another country in the past and he's upset. His parents won't be born for centuries and he just knows they'll find out somehow.

- Danny is given the role as a page boy because he's too young to be anything else and it's hilarious. Ciel delights in giving him menial assignments and Danny delights in being a contrary pain in the ass. They're both snarky, depressed, overwhelmed with their black, bleak outlook and sense of humor. They get on very well actually. Sometimes, he asks Danny very quietly when Seb is far away what it's like to die.

- Speaking of which, if Danny gets a whiff of the contract btw Ciel and Seb he is going after that demon with his claws bared. That is his LITTLE BROTHER that he just adopted just now and you are not going to purposely make him miserable only to eat his soul. It is fucking on.

- This is a very fun, ridiculous yet strangely heartwarming au about finding comfort in shared oddness in different circumstances. London proper doesn't even know what to make of the newest Phantomhive servant because that house is weird af.

I don't know much about Black Butler, but now I really want to see how a meeting between Sebastian and Vlad would go.

Sebastian would eviscerate Vlad like the little bitch that he is. Vlad calls himself a villain? He is nothing compared to true evil, to the powers of hell. Danny, while nice and sweet, has a taste of an inner darkness in him that makes him more intriguing to Sebastian.

I kind of want Danny to eventually find a portal back only to accidently drag the rest of the BB crew in (or maybe on purpose the place its in could be burning down around them or something idk). Now they have the new task of getting them back to where they chronologically should be either by the power of clockwork or the infi-map (neither of which is easy to get to from the spot their at).

Oh Danny is absolutely planning on kidnapping Ciel when he finds a portal and taking him back to the future (ha) and away from Seb. He's hoping the separation across time and space can sever the contract but even if not, it'll give Ciel some breathing space. But what is a one eyed Victorian English pre-teen Earl going to do in 21st century American Midwest Gothic? Who knows

Please reapers being confused by danny is so funny like your supposed to be dead

Will, furiously flipping through his notebook on the verge of a panic attack: You're dead, you're very clearly a spirit but your name isn't in my book until several hundred years into the future also there's a lot of things scratched out and question marks? What the hell ARE you??

Danny, ignoring him and trying to impress Ronald: Pretty please can I borrow your lawn mower? My one eyed short bitch of an employer has this enormous estate and he makes me cut the lawn but it'll go so much faster with that bad boy

Ronald, amused but also super confused: this isn't for grass? It's for souls??

Danny, nodding: Yeah yeah I think I have one of those. Please just let me have it a few hours.

Ben looked up at the significantly taller man in what looked like a butler's suit. The sixteen year old gave him a smile, "Can I help you?" He asked.
