The Ancients won't let me - DC X DP Prompt

More specifically Young Justice

Jack and Maddie forget about their kids often. Most of their interactions, the quick greetings, the brief questions about school, feel more like habit than care. When they do remember, it’s either overwhelming affection that lasts a few hours or days, or harsh disappointment they make impossible to ignore. The emotional instability is not great.

Jazz gets the really proud parents more often, being the genius straight A child. Danny… Danny has felt for a long time that he sees the disappointed side way more often than the loving side. Even the rare loving moments are filled with rants about protecting him from Phantom, and all the ways they’re going to hurt Phantom… Yeah, Danny is a bit more than a little desperate for adult love and approval.

So it really isn’t a surprise that he quickly grows attached to the Ancients when they start giving him consistent attention. He’s known most of them for less than three months, but they’re attention is constant, and maybe there’s not much of “I love you” but there are a lot of “good jobs” and “I’m proud” and “you did well,” which is what Danny craves.

So yeah, maybe he accepted a little too quickly when they offered to claim him as their charge. Who cares, he needed a ghost guardian either way, and he got six in one go.

The thing is the ancients are not exactly the coddling kind. They make their expectations and wishes clear from the start and expect them to be followed. They wouldn’t punish him for failing, but Danny can’t bear the idea of disappointing them. Not when his parents are already disappointed in him all the time, not when they’re the only ones that see something of worth in Danny.

So Danny is a pretty obedient ghostling.

When they tell him not to seek outside help as the GIW causes more damage, or to help Technus hide Amity’s problems from the world, he doesn’t question it. No one ever came to help before, so why would it matter?

When he meets a group of teen heroes and helps them, he refuses their offer to join the moment the Ancients disapprove. But he keeps crossing paths with them every time he leaves amity because his rogues are expanding their range (like seriously, every single time, at this point it almost feels like Clockwork is trolling him).

The thing is he enjoys spending time with them. He enjoys when he gets to fight beside them, the shared banter, and the chatter he allows himself before he bolts back to amity. So despite fear of disapproval he begs the ancients for permission, and eventually, they agree. With Conditions: Keeping the halfa part hidden, and amity as a whole, as well of a long list of ghost info. He easily promised he would.

Everytime there were things he couldn’t talk about he directly told the team the ancients wouldn’t let him talk about it. At the beginning young justice thinks the ancients are ghost gods (not exactly wrong), and that Danny is deeply religious. Later they find they're more like Danny's parents, and Danny is just really well behaved. They don't push much, because it seems Danny would really bolt if they did.

For a long time it all works well. Danny gets along with his team, they think he’s a full ghost that lives in the infinite realm and things are going well. Until the GIW starts attacking outside Amity too.

The team uncovers non-digital information from the GIW about the town and turns to Danny for answers. All he can offer is the same excuse, that the Ancients won’t let him talk. But this time they keep pushing because they're worried. And Danny isn't really paying much attention because he's panicking, because all the uncovered information was his to hide, and now he's sure he's disappointed the ancients.

ong we're not understanding this story

[sapphicallyaccurateangel]

there’s nothing like the undying trope of optimistic blonde lesbian with comphet getting destroyed (in order: emotionally, physically, mentally) by the storyline and her deeply misunderstood villainized RIDICULOUSLY traumatized puppy eyed brunette wife that stole their boyfriend
