So I saw this TikTok of Danny when he became the ancient of space. Now he literally has to sew time and space, and like everyone else, it just looks like he's sewing, but he's like really, really stressed cause he's sewing freaking time and space. So I thought it would be funny if Danny, our resident ghost king and high king of the infinite realms and ancient over here, doesn't realize he's giving off waves of stress into the universe cause he's baby, and everyone and there mother in any way shape or form related to any pantheon or magic being can freaking feel it, i'm talking gods, demigods, titans, monsters, nymphs, satyrs/fauns, whatever you can think of they can feel it in so many waves it's like feeling a primordial wanting to crush your soul into fucking dust cause holy cow they're stressed. Now basically the fucking pantheons need to think of something fast there's a meeting involved demanding "ok who fucked up? which one of you motherfuckers pissed off a primordial? fucking bigtime?" yea that's basically the idea what do you think? oh I forgot to mention Danny is 20 here plus he takes dani as his daughter and this is a good reveal au
Bruce: Damian was battling the ghost. He lost a lot of blood, and the blasted thing got away. Prep the medic bay.
Alfred: Right away sir.
Bruce: Hang on son.
Barbara from the Bat- computer screen: Is he going to be alright?
Bruce: Yes, once we get him some blood.
Barbara: Do you think he can give a description of the ghost he was fighting? I can start tracking him down so the others can avenge Damian.
Bruce: Let me check. Dami? What did that ghost look like?
Damian in a slurring voice: Sexy. White hair. Green eyes. Sexy
Bruce: It's no good. He's delirious.
Barbara typing rapidly: No, no, no. That's a good description. According to Amity Park's Top 10 Sexy Ghosts, we might be looking for number 1: Danny Phantom.
Bruce: Why the hell does a list like that exist?
Barbara: You shouldn't be surprised by what's on the internet, Bruce. Show Damian this picture to see if that's the right one.
Bruce: Damian, who is this? *holds up tablet with blurry image of Phantom*
Damian points to it: ITS SEXY!
Barbara: Okay, we got our target. I'll start tracking him.
Damian slurring: We'll have a Autum wedding.
Bruce: Barbara I don't mean to rush you but I need this ghost to be killed as soon as possible.
Damian: I'm gonna be the father of his children
Bruce darkly: He needs to die before daybreak, Barbara.
(I have no idea what the hell this is, it just came to me, m'kay? Let's just all pretend it's not weird and stupid pls)
Grace doesn't know what had caused it, but one day the dome over their habitat just...cracks.
He and Simon had thankfully been next to each other, hanging out on the beach after Grace had finished teaching for the day. The sound of the xenonite breaking above them had been like the loudest thunder Grace had ever heard, and they'd both jumped and looked upward in shock. The moment Grace saw that hairline fracture growing and splintering across the panels above them, he'd felt his blood turn to ice, because he could see how quickly the cracks were growing, and he knew exactly what that meant.
His head jerks towards Simon, his eyes wide with terror.
"Simon ā !" he tries to shout, but that's all he has time to say. A second later, the dome splits open, and super-heated, poisonous air rushes towards them.
Grace screams in fear, scrambling back against the pebbled beach, but he knows it's futile. In moments, the pressure outside the dome will cause the rest of it to collapse, and they'll be crushed. There's nowhere to run, nowhere to escape. They're going to die here.
Simon's arm wraps around him and Grace turns and buries his face in Simon's chest. At least it will be quick, he thinks. At least he won't be alone. He squeezes his eyes shut, bracing himself as the impossibly hot air rushes towards them.
But then suddenly there's light.
And then they're abruptly collapsing onto the floor, like they've just dropped from a height. He lands on Simon, who took the brunt of the fall. The air reeks of ammonia. His skin is burning. But they are somehow, miraculously alive. Coughing and wheezing, Grace is desperately trying to clear his airways, but slowly it dawns on him that he can breathe. Each inhale burns like hell, but that's air. That's fresh air he's tasting. How is that possible? Even if the dome hadn't managed to crack, Erid's atmosphere should have filled up everything, making it impossible to survive!
And then he hears voices. Human voices.
He looks up in absolute shock to find that they're surrounded by humans. His eyes are burning too much from the ammonia exposure to see clearly, but those are definitely humans rushing towards them, shouting out in confusion and concern. Grace is completely gobsmacked. How is this even possible?
Before he knows what's happening, the people are helping them up, asking all sorts of questions. It's confusing and chaotic, even more so when he realizes that he recognizes some of these people. What the hell? These are some of the Hail Mary staff! They're all looking at him like they've seen a ghost, and even though he's still coughing and wheezing, they're just touching him, almost reverently.
They start trying to lead him away to get medical attention, but then Grace hears shouting, and he realizes that he and Simon have become separated. Simon, suddenly finding himself surrounded by strangers after somehow teleporting to Earth(?!?), is absolutely panicked, and on the verge of freaking out. The people surrounding him are all looking at Simon warily, as if they're not sure what to do with him.
"Wait!" Grace screams, fighting towards Simon. "Wait! He's with me! He's with me!"
Everyone freezes. Someone approaches, presumably the person in charge of whatever the hell place this is. He squints at Grace, and then over at Simon. "He's with you? Dr. Grace?"
"Yes, he's...he's with me," Grace quickly insists. His vision is starting to go spotty, his coughing fits growing weaker as he loses strength. "Please."
The man glances between them, but turns to face Simon. "What's your name, son?" he asks.
"Simon," Simon chokes out, his voice sounding just as ragged as Grace's. His eyes are bloodshot and streaming, and he keeps blinking them like he can't see clearly. He's not coughing as hard as Grace is, but Grace can hear the way he's wheezing.
"Simon what?" the man demands.
Simon just looks baffled. He doesn't understand what they're asking, but the moment is stretching, and the man is growing more suspicious.
"Simon what?" he repeats more firmly.
"Grace!" Grace quickly cuts in. His throat is raw, but he still shouts it loud enough that the entire room probably heard it. "His last name is Grace! Simon Grace! Simon...Simon Grace..."
That shout used up the last of his energy, and Grace feels his vision start to go dark around the edges. For a moment, he thinks he sees the group surrounding them glance between him and Simon in surprise, something assessing in their eyes, but he doesn't have time to really puzzle out what those expressions mean.
The last thing he hears before he passes out is Simon yelling his name.
"Ryland!"
(AKA The AU where Grace and Simon end up back on Earth and thanks to Grace's impulsiveness, all of humanity now thinks they're married.)
I mean, what's the more logical conclusion to jump to? That this random guy happens to be from an alternate universe where there are so few humans left that there's no point in having a last name anymore because you don't need to differentiate between individuals? Or that the guy who saved the whole planet married the random guy and gave him his last name?
Other worldbuilding notes:
Unbeknownst to Simon (and Grace), thanks to his exposure to the Light and the Eye and all those fun things, Simon now has the inherent ability to create wormholes. The problem is he doesn't really have any control over it, and he can only really do it in life-or-death situations. That's how he ended up in Grace's universe in the first place, after the Blood Eel tried to kill him, and how they've now arrived back on Earth once their biodome broke. Simon has no idea he can do this, however, and so everyone is very confused :)
The people of Earth are 100% convinced that Simon is an alien, and that his species is just able to perfectly mimic human appearance. Given he's still got some...enhancements from his exposure to the Blood Ocean in his DNA, their conclusion is kind of understandable lmao
The Blood Ocean tried to assimilate Simon, and started fusing to him, but wasn't able to actually complete the connection before he jumped universes. As a result, Simon pulled an Uno Reverse and actually assimilated the bits of the Blood Ocean that were still attached to him. So he's. Yeah. He def ain't 100% human anymore
Me, not know anything about the predator other than they hunt for sport and something else, and they also have the name yautja.
Me: okay but writing prompt ngl
Like
Imagine a humans are space orcs where the yautja actually existed. Now imagine that they are a species that do this frequently enough where they aren't actually allied with any other aliens other than ones that maybe do the same.
And when humans join the galactic union or whatever, they kinda just go like,
Human: oh so man hunt, but deadly?
Alien species 1: please don't say you hunt each other..
Human, who is suddenly very aware of all the different version of hunting we play and even teach our kids: nooooooooo?
The yautja who is very much now interested and leaning forward.
Alien species 2: *sweating nervously as they can tell someone's emotions through smell, and can tell the yautja and their allies are suddenly in 'Hunt Mode'
The Yautja who's now practically hanging of the table: explain, now
The human now kinda also kinda excited cause they don't feel so dumb anymore: so man hunt is a game that mostly kids play, it's like a mix of tag and hide n seek.
Alien species 1: what is tag, and what is hide and seek?
Human: tag is where one person is labeled 'it' and they have to chase someone and touch them to make them now be it, it's like a form of endurance training kind of
Human: and hide n seek is kind of similar but instead of chasing whoever is it has to find the people hiding after a bit of time as to allow them to find a spot to hide, some people play it where you can move after hiding but others require you to stay in one place the whole game. Either way it centers around camouflage.
Human: And so with man hunt being a mix of the too, being a mix of endurance and camouflage, what you do to play is just like with hide n seek, the seeker, or whoever is It, has to find the people hiding, but you also have to tag them, and they have the option of running away at all time. And it's most usually played in the complete dark outside.
The yautja, thinking of how good this would be for their children, but very sad at the lack of death and/or violence.
Alien species 2 feeling that something is still about to happen, looking nervously around to see where the other sho will drop.
Alien species 1: oh alright, while slightly worrying, it doesn't sound to bad, at least you don't actively hurt each other.
Alien species 2: *softly under breath* fuck
Human: nah that's saved for paintball and dodgeball lolz
The Yautja perking up, followed by alien species two putting an appendage to their face in lieu of doing a face palm.
Alien species 1: which is??
Human: oh right sorry, in doge ball we throw ball shaped projectiles at each other, and in paintball we shot reaching with paint that explodes on impact, but it's okay we only really get bruised and maybe just a little bit of blood ^.^
The yautja, already mentally thinking of a way to become allies..
One of the things I think would be hilarious in the AKOTSK show is Dunk doing casual displays of strength without thinking on it.
Obviously heās aware that heās a bigger guy and therefore possesses a certain amount of strength that others donāt. Also he tries to be gentle and unassuming due to his size though itās also his nature to be so.
However there are times when he doesnāt care to soften the rough edges of his body.
Like when heās standing before the Targaryens and company after theyāve decided on a Trial of Seven. In this version of the scene, Maekar hasnāt dragged Aerion away (yet).
So when Dunk asks āCan I go?ā And Baelor nods then gestures for the guards to move forward and undo the shackles binding his wrists.
Dunk shakes his head saying, āThereās no need for that, Your Grace.ā
Everyoneās confused until the creaking of metal fills the chamber before a snapping sound echoes throughout.
Dunk moves his newly freed arms, the cuffs of the shackles still dangling from his wrists. āAh, Iāll have to do these later.ā He mutters to himself before bowing to the table and taking his leave.
Baelor is too stunned to speak. Maekar on the other hand is horrified.
Itās a feeling he hasnāt felt since the RedGrass. āThat man would destroy my son. Thereād be nothing leftā He thinks wildly, fearing for the trial now. Maeker turns to look at Aerion expecting fear as any sane man would be.
What Maekar finds is Aerion biting at the wound on his lip, reopening it. A flush has risen to his cheeks and he staring at the spot where the hedge knight was just standing. Maekar has seen that look before, on men who look ready to pounce when they see a pretty whore.
āMy son WANTS to be destroyed!!ā
Itās then that Maekar drags him off, yelling āIDIOT!ā

Hereās a funny and cute idea for Aym and Baal taking care of a Baby Narinder after a resurrection goes wrong.
With the two having no contact with the outside world for decades, the idea of taking care of a kitten, much more their master, would be more than enough to make them panic š
I can see the twins being a horrible babysitter so they run to Forneus for help <//33
(They totally love cooing Kittyrinder though)
essek saying "bren" out loud, claiming a position on caleb's side as the mouthpiece of his regards to astrid, did something to me. i can't tell if it opened a wound or punched me or gave me a hug. all i know is that i am feeling so many emotions right now
more under the cut because i'm about to get rambly:
"bren aldric ermendrud" is a separate character from caleb widogast. he's a young boy learning how to make magic. he's a deeply traumatized and indoctrinated teenager. he's the boy who curled up with astrid and eadwulf in a freezing tower for warmth all night.
essek never met bren. he met caleb and he's never known him as anyone else. if i'm remembering correctly, caleb never even said the name "bren" to him during the campaign, and neither did any of the nein.
essek knows caleb widogast. he knows the man who held up the object of his worst crime and then kissed him in the bowels of a ship and made a floor of infinite stars for them to walk through together. he knows the person who healed over bren's woundsāthinly, but enough. he knows the man that the boy has become.
astrid knows bren. she barely knows who caleb is. she still calls him bren after hearing him referred to as caleb repeatedly. she can't know him as the man he is, she only knows the boy. there's some of bren in caleb, but there is no caleb in bren.
essek saying "bren sends his regards" is him gauging astrid's reaction, on one levelāif she freaks out, which she did, she's in opposition to caleb's cause and thus a threat. on another level, it's essek delivering a very different subtextual message from caleb: "the boy who loved you is giving you one final warning."
because essek is a threat to astrid. their last meaningful interaction was slinging spells at each other in the blooming grove. and that's funny in a "current boyfriend vs ex girlfriend exclusively fight each other" kind of way, but it's also deeply tied to caleb's recurring theme of transformation. "bren sends his regards" also means "i have healed enough to love enough for someone else to know this name and use it with my consent. and this someone else is your enemy. what does that make you think i've become?"
it also does a fantastic job of communicating subtle offscreen discussions that have happened over the years since the end of c2. we don't have the details of when or how caleb told essek his birth name, but we know that he did, and we know from all of c2 that the name bren occupies a place of immense emotional weight for caleb. it functions similarly to a deadname in terms of who uses it and for what purpose. trent exclusively calls caleb bren to wound him and place himself in a position of power. astrid calls him bren to remind both him and herself of who they used to beāsame with eadwulf, though obviously he's not here.
the first time we hear essek say "bren" is on caleb's behalf and confronting one of the narrative representations of caleb's trauma. it's four words that manage to communicate "i, your enemy on a hundred levels, can speak for both the man i love and the boy who loved you, because i know him in his entirety."
astrid knows bren and essek knows caleb, but only essek can speak for both. because at some point, caleb gave bren to essek. and we know this from four words. four IMPROVISED words.
Dead Serious Ship but with a twist(?) of a sort. And Good Parents Fenton's + Casper High Classmates knows Danny is Phantom.
ā¢ Damian and Danny were Teenage Sweethearts and Danny was in Gotham due to Amity Park Stuff with his parents still taking down the GIW, up until they turned 18 when Damian suddenly became distant. He started canceling plans, distancing himself from his beloved, even going as far as no longer calling Danny by their usual pet names.
From Lovers to Strangers.
ā¢ Danny is confused on why Damian is suddenly so distant, until Damian just disappeared, he never contacted Danny at all. Danny's mind is now cluttered with overthinking thoughts that range from negative to dreadful thoughts, at first it was worry that Damian died but he sees an article of Damian being alive and well.... and with someone. Danny feels his heart break into a million goddamn pieces and seeks refuge in his family's arms and moving back to Amity Park.
ā¢ Damian's reason of disappearance was apparently for Danny's safety as Ra's had taken particular interest in the boy that has Lazarus Running in their DNA as if it is their blood and for Danny's safety Damian decided to distance himself, a specific mission that required him a partner to take down a specific organization is where the article comes from(Writer can change the last part, either way angst is inevitable).
ā¢ 2-3 years later Danny comes back to Gotham because a Ghost of his had something from their grave stolen, and it was stored in the Gotham Museum. Although Danny hates it he stays as it is his duty as A Halfa (Or a Ghost King) to retrieve his people's items from the other side of the veil. Danny happened to attend a gala in one of these occasions and Damian spots him.
Damian and Danny Part :
ā¢ Danny feels dread and hatred whenever he sees Damian, Damian is desperate to get him back.
Damian becomes possessive and the Batfam finally tone him down after Danny slaps him, This is mostly angst of Damian being unable to have Danny back as Danny finally settles into the Ghost Zone and Amity Park.
Summary Danny holds a grudge after thinking Damian cheated on him and ghosted him, Danny is not fine and when he does come back to Gotham for Ghost King/Halfa Duties Damian tries to pursue him again which ends with a lot of Vigilante and Phantom shenanigans along with Robin and Phantom romance where they both don't know about each other's Civilian life and when they do more heartbreak and chaos ensue.
Damian wants Danny back so bad and regrets letting his Beloved Polaris go for a mission and for not trusting himself or his family to be able to protect Danny, Danny doesn't like Damian because Damian brings back memories of the last that he truly, really wants to forget because everytime he thinks about it he wants to cry himself to sleep.
My thought is bittersweet ending but that's on the writer's choice or inspiration of this, thanks for reading my crack. I'll see y'all later.
