Hi, I was doing some thinking (and we all know that's a dangerous thing). Just random thinking. It ventured vaguely into DP territory and Brainy said "HOLD UP BITCH LEMME AU THIS" so here we go:
Sam Fenton AU.
Ok, that's not an accurate name because in this AU it would also be Danny Manson.
And Brainy also said "Valerie Foley/Tucker Gray" but didn't elaborate, so lemme elaborate on the first part before I figure that out.
Ok, so Sam is Phantom in this AU, she's Jack and Maddie's younger child instead of Danno. She's still her activist, vegan, goth self; except it has a little less "why can't my parents accept me for who I am" and a little more "screw society", because here she would've been, like Danny was in canon, basically a social pariah without having done anything to deserve it.
She, like Jazz, takes this one thing about her (being goth/alt) and maximizes it so that people will stop thinking of her as the "Fentons' child" and start thinking of her as her own person (even if her own person is viewed as "the freaky goth").
Unlike Danny, Sam joins Jazz in taking a stand against Jack and Maddie because "why can't you be normal parents".
Her relationship with Jazz would be a little different from Danny's. In this situation, Jazz wouldn't be as overprotective as she was with Danny because I can see Sam learning how to take care of herself and how to handle things in a way more similar to Jazz. The part about Jazz being overbearing, though? Not different. Jazz and Sam would bicker a lot too, there would be a lot of Jazz talking about Sam's "phase" and Sam complaining that Jazz tries to adequate herself to society's standards.
Danny in this AU is fun (as in, fun for me :))) ), his parents (Mr & Mrs Manson) had him study in private school in middle school but he convinced them to let him go to Casper High for High school. I pictured him having a sorta Lane Kim (Gilmore Girls) relationship with his parents, in that he pretends to be a good little boy who gets good grades, but in reality he hunts ghosts with Sam and Valerie and listens to rock (on Control Freaks he literally brings Sam a cd of his from a bad called Morbid Antisocial Youth, so that part is canon). I can imagine some scene like one from GG where Lane had a band shirt and when she took it off there was another one underneath written "Trust God", so someone asks "is that a band" and she answers "no, my life".
Valerie in this AU is supposed to be to Sam what Tucker is to Danny in canon, but also what Tucker is to Sam. She's not a social outcast tho. She used to be an A-lister but left/was kicked out when -- hold -- Tucker got into the A-listers. She's still very much that no-nonsense 8th degree belt (or 9th, idk the term) badass and, man, does she rock some guns/Fenton creep stick.
Our beloved Tucker is Valerie in this AU. He is an A-lister and uses some of his talent for technology to be the school blogger -- so even after the Cujo event, he's not completely demoted from the social ladder. But, boy, is he every bit as furious as Valerie was after the Cujo incident. He becomes the Red Hunter (Maybe I'll switch the color to Yellow or Green), yada-yada.
I was thinking about the whole GrayGhost romance, and like... Sam and Tucker would never date in this AU because Tucker is an A-lister, even if he's the one who doesn't beat anyone up. Valerie is also unlikely because, well, he's the reason she's not an A-lister anymore. But you know who doesn't have many objections towards Tucker? Danny-boy. I picture that they start talking via Doom and things go up from there.
Anyway, this is my crazy take on the Sam Switch AU (not the best name, but whatever), have a bad edit:
