The walk of shame for Tim. His siblings will never let him live it down.
Now every time Tim goes out, there’s the added stress because he knows—he knows—there’s a little kid out there following them all and Tim can’t! catch! him!
If Tim tries? He ends up covered in glitter, thrown eggs at, and one time is caught in a pillowcase like a discount ghost! All this, caused by a tiny, homeless six-year-old.
Tim is crying.
Please let him adopt you, Danny!
Totally inspired by that Red Robin being really photogenic and Danny being a photographer post.
But more focused on the irony. De-aged Danny ends up a street kid in Gotham. Decides taking and selling photos of the vigilantes is a good way to support himself. After all, a small child that can go invisible and fly ? Easy.
Basically, Baby stalker Danny.
Its Tim's turn to deal with a little gremlin photographer who won't stop following them into dangerous situations. Karma Tim, how's it feel on the other side of the fence.

Be Not Afraid
Danny's forms were pretty stable in the Infinite Realms, and well, his own dimension. The problem was when he had to run certain errands elsewhere (Clockwork's fault) and the universes didn't know where to put him.
Despite having two defined forms in his original dimension. The other dimensions seemed to decide that Danny didn't need that, and his humanity had to go, or something. The halfa couldn't understand it.
So of course, he ended up looking very amorphous and strange when he traveled to other dimensions. Sometimes with multiple eyes, at other times his body was made of pieces of ice, there were times when he was just a toxic green eye that glowed and blinded whoever saw it. The only thing that remained constant was that he didn't look human. Which made most of his tasks difficult. People feared the unknown after all.
When he arrived in the DC universe he didn't expect a welcoming committee. He even told them "Be not afraid" the moment he landed on a crowded street, but apparently that was counterproductive, since they classified him as some kind of avenging angel.
With a sigh, Danny kept exploring and the strangest things happened to him: Two glowing rings chased him everywhere (One was black and the other was white, but he had a feeling that taking them wouldn't be the smartest move, the ring and the crown were very jealous since he was crowned after all)
And a British magician... flirted with him? Danny was pretty sure the hellbazer was seeing him as eyes and ice floating but that didn't seem to stop him from trying. The halfa didn't know if he was flattered or worried.
Anyway, he couldn't find Dr. Fate, nor "Justice League Dark", whatever it was. But the wizard, Constantine, was willing to take him on a date. The rings continued to follow him while some people with green rings looked in the background (they looked strangely scared) and a new religion had been created for "The Great One" which reminded him of Frostbite.
Traveling was hard.

If Damian’s thinking time travel, what if Danny accidentally says the batcode for time travel in their first meeting?
Damian (and whoever would want to come with him) show up and have a conversation with Danny. They’re still in the building. There’s civilians around and something about what Danny is saying makes them think he’s speaking in code. So they stop paying attention to the literal meaning of Danny’s words.
And then, bam! A code—said in a roundabout way to still make sense with the conversation—and Damian (plus batfam later) think time travel.
And of course, if this is Damian’s future kid, Damian has a lot of questions. Is Danny already Robin? How is his training coming along? Did Danny time travel on purpose? Is there some future, world-ending issue that requires sending someone back???
That was it! Danny officially hated CPS! They were so annoying. How did they even keep finding him?! Hes in the rural area of Tennessee and they keep catching up to him. They had kept pace with him through the past three states (was this really cps?) and kept spouting nonsense about his powers being dangerous and needing to be taught how to use them before he hurts himself or others. Jokes on them, Dannys already dead!
Luckly they only seem to be able to track Phantom and not Fenton but after his spooky self got shot by one of these creeps he ducked into a free health clinic for teens and kids. The only problem is that he has to put down a valid Emergency contact. His parents and friends won't work since they don't exist in this dimension and he didn't know anyone else.
So he put down the name of a random Wayne family member because they are confirmed to be real and he doubted any of them would come if called.
He was wrong.
The only real question is which one did he put down

If Phantom doesn't have to breathe, he can just swim/fly underwater like he would in the Ghost Zone. He could visit so many ship ruins!
Would he even be affected by the pressure exerted by the depths?
Mr. Lancer, after witnesses the GIW start to devolve into committing literal war crimes, decides to kidnap his students to seek shelter in a different city.
He's not an idiot; he knows all of his students fall under the anti-ecto acts. He knows that the GIW have just been watching.
He knows that they're done waiting.
So he arranges a field trip, gets the class to Metropolis, and on the ferry ride over to Gotham?
He commandeers the ship.
He can't trust the American government, he knows that.
But there's another government fairly close by; one who's literal leader absolutely would not hesitate to jump in if he heard that children were being kidnapped and civilians were in danger.
He's taking the kids into Aquaman's waters, and hopefully the King of the Seas will be willing to grant Asylum.

Hurray the poll is over!!! 🎉
Okay, so first of all, the tag will now be “Detective Danny AU” for the idea of him being a Columbo-like detective in Gotham.
Second of all: This idea was originally inspired by this chain of nerdpoe's idea. - [Desktop link] - [Mobile] -
Third of all, background notes on this AU:
Danny, Tucker, and Sam are together and married. Living the domestic, gothic, poly married life of their dreams in Gotham.
They're about in their late 30s to early 40s. To REALLY get that scrunkly, himbo Danny vibes.
They have perhaps recently moved to Gotham. Initially the moved to Metropolis because Tucker got a job there, but unfortunately, there was an incident while he worked under Luthor soooo...
Sam loves Gotham much more anyways! Nothing to worry about, and Wayne industries offered to quadruple Tucker's pay even though Gotham has a lower cost of living. Everyone wins!
So obviously they're your perfectly normal poly couple moving in, hoping to lay low after crossing a supervillain. Not! Immediately they begin hatching a plan involving the GCPD. To reduce corruption, but mostly? Just to fuck with them.
Danny will apply to the recently opened (*cough*) position of Detective. Together, with someone on the inside and someone on the outside, they will out the corruption within the GCPD. In the most humiliating way possible. ACAB, bitch.
But of course, Danny being Danny, he gets really into the role of detective.

The trio get paid internships with the JL/JLD where they are there to help do studies, write papers, help (SAFELY) with experiments/tests under the guidance of an adult that can help or get help, and generally add their own experiences and observations of the supernatural.
Internships because they are underage still, but the Flash family are very insistent on the importance of this job. And it's not like Batman will disagree. While the Justice League might be wary of encouraging teenagers to be part in "experiments," the Flash fam and many other experts that are no doubt in the JL's paychecks can point out that there are plenty of roles that aren't dangerous. Like taking notes or helping write the actual papers.
And it's not like there isn't magic warding/protection magic that can fortify a room so there could be experiments inside, even more "innocent" ones like the one about plant growth.
And on that note: testing protective magics. Like "this one is best against explosives" and "the other one is better to place on buildings rather than humans" etc etc. and ranking them based on how good they are at protecting vs how long it takes to set up vs how many people need to be involved TO set it up.
The JLD being dragged kicking and screaming to write it all down legibly and in a way that makes sense. And if they try to pull the hand wavey "just trust me"? Danny, Sam, and Tucker are there to pip up about what they've seen in the past or in translating the bullshit.
And also? It turns out Batman has a lot of instances of the JLD doing magic on camera, so even some spells that are dangerous to reproduce "for science" can have material to observe.
This (new?) branch of the JLD gets a lot of funding toward improving cameras.
You know what would be HILARIOUS?
The Flash Family, know sceptics. Men and women of SCIENCE(~✨️!). Just?? Casually rolling up one day to work like "oh BTW, ghosts are a thing. Very cool."
Like? EXCUSE ME?! Shouts furious and outraged magic users. ALL of whom had tried to explain that fact and failed... just... just SO MANY TIMES.
And the Flash are like "What?! Of COURSE Ghosts are real! There is SCIENCE to back this up!"
And? JLA Dark might? Spit blood? They are incoherent with rage. You FUCKERS.
Where are the papers? WHERE ARE THE GOD DAMNED PAPERS!? What was it? What convinced you, that their FIVE HOUR LECTURE failed to do!?!?
And it's some NOBODY named Daniel Fenton. A rebuttal of his parents earlier works.
Mother fuckers. Are these idiots POKING AROUND THE REALMS!? They... they need to sit down. Oh sweet Jesus. They feel faint.
And frankly, Barry doesn't get why ya'll are being so DRAMATIC. Why could you just explain things like THIS? Not all that... hand wavey, smoke and mirrors nonsense. This makes WAY more sense.
See? His friend, Sam, did a study on how judicious use of magic can help the environment! If you just TOLD him the "ghosts" you were talking about were just inter-dimensional extentions of life, he would have understood you! Now the NEVERBORN! Those are cool.
You should really read the paper, guys.
Might learn something.

Prompt idea: Danny and Dani are legally adopted by John Constantine. The problem? Danny is the unknown biological kid of other hero.
Constantine can be like the black sheep in hero community, nobody likes to work with him (Except the magic users of course) and hates his guts.
The biological parent hero is butthurt
Main issue is that Jon Constantine isn't that good of a parent. Sure, he's trying his best, but that genuinely isn't much. Still Danny just sticks with Jon no matter what.
Danny's parent just can't wrap their head around why Danny chose a really drunk uncle figure over them. At the end of the day it's because Danny has more of an emotional connection with Jon but his parent just doesn't understand.

ok... after reading a fic about Danny being married to Damien. What if Danny was secretly married to John Constantine? for some reason someone summon Danny, but when our ghost boy see his husband there, he's like: :D beloved!!
God I searched for this for hours but I finally found it!
Gravity Falls Trash
Danny Fenton is married to John. John can detect magical beings and there is no way that Danny doesn’t give off any of those vibes. The explanation of ectocontamination keeps John sated and doesn’t try to dig further.
When he sees his husband standing in front of him in full Ghost King regalia, we’ll they have some deep trust and relationship discussions after this… Wait. does that mean that he’s also king?! Yea. They’re gonna have a talk later, but for now they need the Ghost King’s assistance.
(If John can show off his husband in the process of getting the Ghost King’s aid, well then that’s just perfect)

I have the dumbest idea. Fully grown up adult Danny ends up having a fling with Constantine when he comes through Amity to study ghosts. It's kinda hot and heavy, but also casual. John leaves and goes on.
A year later something happens where something he's hunting has severely pissed off the Ghost King. At first, John's like "oh shit, Pariah Dark is awake?" And only finds out when this tall, buff stud shows up that King Pariah Dark is out, King Phantom is in, and also, the new King finds John as hot as John finds him.
A year after that, John gets called to a JL HQ to greet a new hero who's joining the Justice League because he also does paranormal stuff and Supes wants all the magic heroes to meet or something. So he shows up and there's Danny Fenton, being all tall broad shoulders and goofy smiles. John doesn't even question why he's there. He does sneak off with Danny to make out in a coat closet until Batman finds them.
Danny's super sheepish and John kinda feels bad enough to not make smartass comments as they walk back to the group. He stands out with the others while Supes makes the introduction. John's suddenly wondering *why* Danny is there and *where* the new guy is.
Then this happens.
Superman: I'm honored to introduce the Justice League's newest member, Phantom.
Danny transforms into Phantom, who doesn't have the glowing crown, and who doesn't glow so much, but he doesn have those sexy sharp teeth, and is clearly King Phantom.
John Constantine, realizing what's happened: oh, fuck me!
Danny, with that big shit eating grin of his: I'm pretty sure I've already done that about a dozen times, love. But I wouldn't mind another go.
John might love him a little bit.

Wait before I continue talking about (and eventually post parts of the fic), what should I tag the "Detective Danny being like a Modern Columbo in Gotham" AU?

But wait. Imagine the first time Batman comes across Danny, the boy is helping some poor guy with a flat tire.
Danny (not knowing who Batman is, but seeing the guy being intimidated by Batman's presence) decides to try to distract Batman by having he hero focus his attention on Danny. So Danny just. Throws the wrench in his hand. At Batman.
Cue Batman getting an immediate flashback of how he met Jason, and it's how Batman initially comes to the conclusion that this is Jason.
Around the same time Jason died, a new hero started showing up. Bruce tries to think rationally but he can't. The boy has black hair and blue eyes. He's around the same age as Jason and even is just as reckless. Could his son really be back?
Danny found himself in not just another dimension, but a crime ridden city. So he did what he did best, he helped out. Evidently that was the wrong thing to do because he finds himself being pursued by a man claiming he's his son. Danny tries to explain to the hero that he isn't but unfortunately he's too blinded by his grief. Desperate, the boy reveals his half ghost status... only for that to further cement in the man's mind that he's his dead son given new life.

Honestly, both the batfam and the Fentons have such wacky lives that this is entirely in the realm of possibility for both of them. Like... time travel, dimension travel, you name it. And it makes perfect sense that they can easily gaslight themselves into being a family lmao
Imagine Maddie, Jack, and Bruce come together to compare notes and memories. Anything that doesn't quite line up will be scrutinized to hell and back. Anything that DOES line up will be taken in as potential evidence.
The fact that both families have experience with all kinds of supernatural entities and experiences? Both families will be wondering if those two separate experiences from each family was not in fact the combined history of their joint family in another dimension, or some such.
I bet you that Bruce will also bring up that Danny called him "dad" at the start of all this and the adults will theorize that Danny remembered something temporarily, or that Danny's ghost half has some kind of sixth sense about what "used to be."
Meanwhile, Danny will be standing off to the side like, "...I just wanted to get away from a stalker?"
I just thought of a funny DpxDC prompt.
Danny was at a convention in Gotham. He was also getting some unfavorable attention from someone that mistook him for a Wayne and get them to leave him alone when he spots Bruce Wayne. He immediately goes up to Bruce and goes “There you are dad! This guy won’t stop following!”
Bruce, barely paying attention, on cloud nine because one of his kids needs help, just helps Danny and threatens the other person to take them to court for stalking his son or something.
Danny says his thanks and leaves.
Bruce doesn’t realize Danny wasn’t one of his kids until later.

This, combined with all the titles he got from Dan, means Danny keeps gaining a longer and longer list of titles. Just like he gains new powers.
And in true Danny fashion, he forgets how many he has.
You know how in the ghost king aus they usually say "Danny inherited the throne by Right of Conquest" despite never killing, dethroning, or even actually defeating Pariah Dark?
Yeah, I'm combining the Right of Conquest with the Danny kills the Joker au
Danny is now the Clown Prince of Crime without actually being a clown

Tagging Guide for DPxDC
Hey guys, there has been a lot of confusion recently about tagging the crossover on Tumblr. We want to encourage people to enjoy DPxDC content without annoying people who aren’t keen on the crossover. This does NOT apply to tagging on AO3, since the AO3 tagging system is extremely robust and easy to filter.
Sailor Toni from the main DP fanfic server made this graphic on best tagging practices.
Tumblr media
[Image description: Image shows Nightwing and Robin talking to Bruce. Robin says “We have company.” Nightwing says “We need to talk. All of us.” Red Robin, Red Hood, and Batwoman are behind them, as well as a photoshopped Danny Phantom. At the bottom of the graphic, there is an image of Danny in a martial arts pose wielding a sword. The rest of the text follows.] 
Tagging Guide for DPxDC 
As the crossover grows more and more popular, we need to make sure the Danny Phantom, DC, and Batman tags on Tumblr is not taken over. 
- For crossover items please tag it as “DPxDC” with no spaces. 
- DO NOT tag the main fandoms   
(Ex. DP, Danny Phantom, DC, Batman, Batfam, etc.) 
- For ships like Tim X Danny, please use ship names like “Dead Tired ship” or remove all spaces (ex. TimXDanny)  
(The list of ship names can be found here: tinyurl.com/35f4s4sc)
We suggest you follow the guide in order to avoid both the Danny Phantom and DC fandom’s anger at them being unable to find non-crossover content. 
Huge thanks to everyone on Tumblr who has been working with us to keep things tagged and orderly. This is a big crossover fandom and we want to ensure that everyone can engage with it as much or as little as they want.

Gordon has a new detective, freshly transferred to his department, who Will Not Stop Making Death Puns
And he's about ready to commit murder.
The man is very, very good at his job. He seems to stumble across evidence without realizing what he's doing, and freaks out suspects at interrogation tables by bringing up crap his wife and husband do that perfectly mirrors the suspect's story, and then points out the inconsistencies.
He is quickly becoming the most hated man in the department, in terms of who criminals hate.
Great news, Gordon's 100% sure he isn't corrupted.
Bad news, Gordon's 100% sure of that because he keeps easily outing corrupted cops with an ease that makes Gordon feel like he's been wasting time all these years.
So when Batman pisses Gordon off just a little too much, goes over his head one too many times, Gordon decides "fuck it, he get's to deal with Detective Daniel Foley."
But as he's walking away, as Foley starts to hand over the files, he hears the most Dreaded Phrase that man can ever say.
"Ya know, my wife-"
Basically Danny is married to Sam and Tucker, both he and Sam took Tucker's last name, and Danny is a modern Columbo.
Only he speaks to ghosts for easy cheat codes to evidence.
