Wondermom
Danny is 15
Diana was not the first person to meet Danny upon his arrival to her earth, in fact she wasn’t even the first themysciran to meet him. Hippolyta was enjoying a walk through the gardens when a massive portal appeared in front of her. She was immediately on guard and ready to strike when a 4 armed giant breached the portal in one of her arms there appeared to be a child. She said “it has been many years since we crossed swords sister, however now is not the time” Hippolyta kneeled before the ancient warrior. “I have come to ask for the aid of your aid and that of your daughter” it’s then that Pandora sets the bleeding child, a young Boy in front of the queen.
“You would bring a man here?!”
“I bring a CHILD here, for healing and guidance. This child has sacrificed everything he had for his people and they BETRAYED HIM!! This child is under MY protection. All I ask from you is his wounds to be healed and that you call upon your daughter, I will make my request of her directly.” The queen reluctantly agreed and called for her guard to take the boy to be treated by magic purple healing ray (real thing). Upon further inspection what appear to be defensive wounds coating his body, burns, bruises, slashes. As if the boy just took the beating. There were no wounds that indicated he fought back.
Diana came to Themyscira 2 days later, when she arrived she was greeted by her mother and lead to the gardens. She asked her mother what was the reason for such an urgent visit. She simply replied that all would soon be explained. When they arrived Diana was greeted by the form of a giant. When she recognized her she kneeled and greeted the warrior.
“There is no need for such formalities, especially consider the favor I have come to ask.” Diana rose and it was then she noticed the young boy sleeping in the giantess’ arms, she smiled and said
“This child goes by the name Daniel and he is a child of life and death, a perfect balance, and he fought hard to protect his mortal home. He sacrificed everything he had to help them and successfully managed to bring peace between his realms. Or so he thought, young Daniel was betrayed by his mortal parents. It has been some time since I began to see him as my own, however he is a child of BOTH realms and he needs a living mother that can help him meet his needs.” Pandora looked down at him with a sad look
“He needs to live his life just as he has accepted his death, this is the favor I ask of you Diana, daughter of Hippolyta, princess of Themiscyra, that you help guide Daniel in this world, where I cannot.”
Diana says that she has many responsibilities in the world of man, and many more enemies. Pandora smiled, “you’ll find that Daniel is more than capable of defending himself. He would often join me for training when he could the time. I’m sure he would enjoy sparing with you if you would like.”
Diana smiled “I am honored you would consider me for this task and I would be honored.”
Pandora gave a wide smile “there are some things you should know, while I will allow him to inform you of his abilities at his own disclosure, I would ask that you not pressure him to join you in you duties as a member of the justice league, he has fought hard for peace and the decision to rejoin that fight is up to him and him alone. Along with this you should know that this child has many powerful ally’s so if he mentions anyone… concerning, just be aware that ALL of his friends only have the best intentions for him.” At this Pandora gave an almost nervous grin “and finally I should warn you he is quite…. Mischievous. Be careful leaving him unattended he seems to attract chaos”
At this she turned to the young boy, Daniel, and woke him from his sleep, “Daniel, it’s time to wake up, there’s someone I want you to meet.” The boy woke as he was set on the ground, now that he was standing it appeared he was older than she originally thought, but no matter she made a promise. “This is the person I was telling you about, this is Diana, known to the world of men as Wonder Woman, she will be taking care of you from now on.”
“I’ve told you before, please just call me Danny. Cant I just stay with you? I can help in the labyrinth, making sure no one can steal your box.” Pandora smiled sadly “there is nothing I would like more, but you need the living just as much as you need the dead.” 
Danny sighed “will I at least be able to visit you and dad?” Pandora give a sweet smile and says “practice your portals and you can visit me anytime you like”
Danny smiled and hugged Pandora one last time before turning to Diana with a sheepish look on his face “looks like your stuck with me for now, I’ll try not to get in you’re way” Diana smiled back at him the two of them headed to the invisible jet and with one last wave goodbye they took off to the world of men.
When they finally arrived, Diana showed him around the apartment and told him that they’d take a tour around the city later if he felt up to it. Danny seemed out of it the whole time. When they were done eating Diana asked Danny to wait a minute before he went to bed. She sat him down and talked to him about how she understood some of what he was going through, leaving home going to what felt like a whole new world, losing friends along the way. That if he ever needed to talk she was there.
The first week living with Diana was rough, they bought new clothes and other things for Danny, when they went to have Danny’s papers done they discovered everything was already taken care of, so they went school searching and managed to find a nice school near the museum Diana worked at (pretty sure this is canon not positive) things settled for a bit.
It was after Diana was fighting some villains that were using advanced weaponry and wore white costumes that she found Danny curled up in a corner having a panic attack. It took almost an hour for him to fully calm down enough to explain what was wrong. And before he knew it he had told her everything, about the GIW, about his parents, about how they cornered him, and hit him with SOMETHING that forced him to change back and how when he did… they didn’t believe him. He was in tears by the end of it and Diana held him tight, she was enraged at what happened to him but she refused to make him afraid of her as well.
After their heart to heart the two of them grew closer and every now and they would spar and Danny would slip and call Diana mom, eventually just giving in. He had flourished in his time with her, he picked up engineering at school and seemed to have a talent for it so much so that he was offered him a scholarship. Her heart filled with joy seeing how much he was flourishing. Danny started to ask questions about her work as a hero, though never asking to join, he seemed invested in her fights and even came up with pretty good strategic advise. It was about this time that a certain team of protégés broke into Cadmus labs and freed the clone of Superman.
Diana saw an opportunity with the team and after speaking with the rest of the league, she asked Danny if he would like to join. Danny was reluctant as he didn’t want to get back into the hero business, but Diana suggested that instead of a position on the front lines he could provide support from the sides. Providing intel and strategies. Reluctantly he agreed and he was introduced to the team.
The team is weary of him and honestly he creeps M’gann out in the beginning, he just kept staring when he thought no one was looking. She brought it up with the team and they were going to confront him. Before they got the chance however he confronted HER, and by confront I mean he nervously approached her asking I he could ask her a question she said yes. What happened next none of them predicted. The quiet loner who kept to himself asked her about mars and after she answered the question they kept coming question after question, they talked for almost 2 hrs just about mars. M’gann tells the rest of the team that it’s all fine it was all just a misunderstanding and the two of them start hanging out, this leads to another misunderstanding. See now the team thought the 2 were dating. Conner was not okay with this arrangement but didn’t say anything. Surprisingly enough Kaldur got stricter with the two as well. Enough so that Danny and Kaldur started to butt heads during down time.
It annoys the hell out of Danny and he complains to his mom saying that “it’s not fair that someone so cute can be so aggravating” Diana laughs at his plight and questions why he doesn’t just ask Kaldur out to which Danny scoffs and says something along the lines of he’s so out of my league he might as well be on mars. At some point Danny leaves for about a week to visit his time dad and tall mom along with all his other friends. When he comes back Conner and M’gann have started dating, but haven’t told anyone. He still hangs out with M’gann but now Conner hangs out with him too. Absolutely no one, Diana was expecting the bombshell when he casually mentioned he had a clone too her name was Dani with an “I” honestly not everyone believed him. Kaldur stands up for him and says that Danny is many things but he is not a liar, making Danny blush green. This did not go unnoticed be Diana.
(To everyone’s surprise and shock Dani shows up a week later raids the fridge and disappears, Danny just laughs and says yeah she does that sometimes)
Eventually things come to a head when Kaldur and Danny get into a loud argument in a side room after a mission. Wally starts taking bets on wether or not they are gonna kill each other when they hear Kaldur start shouting in Atlantean, there is a full 45 secs of silence before Danny yells back in fluent Atlantean. There is silence for a good five minutes before they ask M’gann to check on them, so ,worried, she agrees pokes her head through and comes right back. She is blushing like crazy and refuses to explain, only stating that they stopped fighting and that they should leave NOW.
Diana couldn’t be prouder though she wasn’t sure whether she was happy or disappointed she didn’t have to resort to the lasso.

Anyone wanna hear about the DPxDC AU that's been spinning in my head for the last couple days? (It has a lot to do with the version of Paulina that exists in my head, which is very different from canon and from how most people seem to think of her. It also has to do with the Young Justice cartoon and Cold Current.)

"what are you doing," eddie mumbles in confusion, hair fanned out on steve's pillow, the moonlight streaming in giving him a hazy halo.
there's a hand on the side of his face and it's cupping his cheek, thumb stroking over his skin. it's soft, so soft, too soft. another hand is trapping his against the mattress, fingers trailing over his forearm before tangling into his own and squeezing tight. it's gentle, so gentle, too gentle.
eddie isn't soft, eddie isn't gentle. eddie isn't making love in a full size bed with wallpaper that matches the drapes. he isn't fluttering kisses in time with fluttering heartbeats and the fluttering wings of butterflies trapped in his stomach like the most lovely cage.
eddie is fucking at 2am when there's enough intoxication to make him look like he's worth it. he's rough and wild, quick and easy. a means to a barely wanted end because he's there and willing and with long enough hair to let people imagine he's someone else.
he should be caged instead of the damn butterflies. he bares his teeth and thrashes his limbs just to fight and see what he can get away with. he laughs loud and brash in the face of sweetness just to see anger, just to see hurt.
he has half a mind to think he's a feral animal that's hardly been trained, performing in some fucked up circus that charges two bucks to see him snarl and hurl insults at anyone who passes by. he bites at the hands that try to touch, try to feed, proving to the onlookers that he's only worth the pocket change they pay to see him.
but steve. he's holding his face like he wants to, holding his hand like it's the most important thing in the world. he's pressing kisses along eddie's jaw without any hurry, without any rush, kissing just to kiss. feeling just to feel. he's like a ray of goddamn sunshine even in the darkness that midnight provides, warming eddie from the inside out.
eddie wants to run. he wants to scream. he wants to feel like he's allowed steve's soft and gentle but he's-
"is this not okay?" and now steve's looking at him with all of whatever he's trying to give him lacing into his face, his eyes and spit slick lips sparkling in the moonlight like a shiny new toy. "do you not like it?"
concern and care are different sides of the same steve shaped coin and if eddie looks hard enough, he can see them blurring together in his frustratingly beautiful sparkling eyes and those damn butterflies start to come back.
"no, it's-" he let's out a sigh, relaxing his tight muscles and sinking into the bed, sinking into whatever steve is willing to give him. "just different, is all. good different, i think."
steve smiles and eddie shakily mirrors it back, before he's ducking his head again and slotting their lips together, fingers still holding tight to eddie's, still cupping his face like it's something precious.
eddie's come to terms with the taste of the metal bars of his cage, teeth wearing down as he tries to bite his way to freedom. maybe this time he'll let himself get used to the taste of soft and gentle smiles if it means loving steve.
#under a read more solely for length!#this post is brought to you by me avoiding my work and feeling emotions about steve canonically holding hands when he has sex!#my writing#steddie#steve harrington#eddie munson#steddie drabble#steddie fic#steddie hurt/comfort#for some reason i'm currently obsessed with dog imagry and you can pry it from my cold dead hands

Aquadad
Based off @phand0mfic s idea of Aquaman adopting Danny
So the big reveal has just happened and it did no GO WELL. Danny ends up on a table with his chest open and the only reason he is able to escape is because Jazz manages to distract their parents. Danny is literally holding himself closed as he dives into the ghost zone, normally this would be the end of it. The zone start mending the wound immediately as he’s slowly flying making his way to the far frozen when he here’s the sound of the specter speeder hot on his trail. He starts flying as fast as he can but he’s getting weak. The zone can sense that he’s in impending danger and opens a portal near him, he dives in transforming as he falls through.
He lands in the Atlantean throne room, human, Vulnerable and scared. He can barely see so when a large Orange blob approaches him Danny freaks out begging him to stop, that he’s sorry, please just don’t hurt him before passing out
King Orin was in a meeting with several council members when the teen appeared at first they were worried it was an attack until they realizes it was a kid. Aquaman approaches the kid who then has a full blown panic attack, begging him not to hurt him and not hearing as he tries to calm him down. He sends everyone out of the room. And cautiously approaches the kids. Who’s pleading with him. Orin nearly stops breathing when he says, “please don’t hurt me, I’m still your son I swear, dad please” seconds later the child is unconscious. Orin goes to see where he is hurt, he removes the white bloodstained shirt and sees RED when he recognizes the barely sealed y shape incision. He rushes the kid to the medical wing, king or not they refuse to let him stay and he demands that they alert him the moment he is out of surgery.
King Orin goes to his wife and explains what happened. She looks him dead in the eye and says what ever you decide I am at your side no matter what. Orin decides there is no way he’s sending this kid back to the monsters that did this to him, that should the child agree he will name him his son. Mera fully agrees, they both understand that Atlantis would not agree with a surface dweller as an heir. So Mera give Orin a LOOK and says well then I’ll e should probably get to work making him a sibling.
The next day Danny wakes up with King Orin at his bedside, he asks if he knows where he is, how he’s doing, what’s his name, Danny introduces himself explains he does not know where he is and lies that he doesn’t know how he got here. Orin eventually breaches the topic of him adopting Danny and he’s in shock, like why me I’m nothing special. Orins like you don’t need to be. Danny accepts.
Danny doesn’t tell anyone about being a half ghost, aquaman just thinks that his new son is a meta with ice powers, because he sneaks away to practice. Neither parent brings it up, worried that this might be why his other parents attacked him. Mera just puts books on Atlantean magic in his room so he can practice with magic with actual guidance, and waits for him to come to her. Mera also does a spell that alters Danny’s lungs so he can breathe underwater and withstand the water pressure. Danny does not like Orm. He doesn’t directly say anything but he gives him serious Vlad vibes so he tries to avoid him.
Danny is actually not in Atlantis when the ocean master attacks, he was in another city hanging out with a friend when he heard about the attack. He rushed home only to find the fight was over. He tackles his parents the moment they are “alone” (Kaldur and Garth are there) and says that he doesn’t know what he’d do if anything happened to them. And if his eyes looked green when he said that it was probably just a trick of the light. He thanks Kaldur and Garth for helping his dad (who is now tearing up because he just called him dad) both of whom say it was an honor. Aquaman gives them the options of continuing their studying or training under him. They each choose. And things are normal except Danny and Kaldur hang out anytime he’s not training, Danny has a crush on Kaldur and Kaldur is absolutely smitten. Aquaman isn’t sure if he wants to encourage the two or (murder) scare Kaldur away from Danny. The dad instinct is strong in this one. Kaldur joins the young justice team and Danny is all for it. Just like in the series kaldur returns to Atlantis but this time it’s to confess to Danny and he states his intentions to his king. Never before has Kaldur has so fear his kind as when he told him what would happen if anything happened to his son. Mera just smiled…it was terrifying. Mera announces her pregnancy and Danny absolutely glows (definitely a trick of the light, totally) and talks about how excited he is. When the attack occurs Danny refuses to leave meras side and to everyone’s surprise he viciously took down a manta goon that got too close with (ghost) Atlantean magic Mera just smiles and says you’ve improved very proudly.
This is getting really long but Kaldur confesses to Danny who tells Kaldur I’m not who you think I am I have a lot of secrets that I’m not ready to share and Kaldur takes his hand and holds his face and says then you do not need to, you can tell me whenever you’re ready . They kiss and have a moment. Kaldur tells Danny his plans to stay in Atlantis so he could be closer to him and Danny vetos that and says he is more than capable of visiting him on the surface, thank you very much. Fast forward ocean master attacks and nearly causes Mera and to lose the baby and this is not okay. Danny follow when Mera was taken because he may or may not have marked her with his ectosigneture to make sure his could protect her. When he sees the ocean master sucking the life force out of his mom and unborn brother he sees GREEN he transforms and tear the area apart, the only reason ocean master escaped with his life is because Danny was worried about the baby and his mom. He meets up with the young justice team and leaves Mera in their care before fleeing to the ghost zone Terrified of their reaction. Eventually danny returns in his human form to find his worried parents who hold him and listen as he explains everything and they just ACCEPT it and danny is overjoyed. He also casually asks his dad if he could get some help learning diplomacy because apparently he’s the new ghost king. Aquaman laughs and says of course you are and they arrange for him to have tutors. Aqualad still goes undercover but Danny knows what’s up and uses that time to study..
Okay I’m gonna stop here or else I won’t stop enjoy!!

I am conflicted.
I already have a Danny and Damian twins fic on ao3 that I don't have enough time to work on because of school, but I really want to write a Danny/Kaldur'ahm fic because I love that ship. Preferably a fic I'm confident in enough to post it. @thebubblesareevil is carrying that entire ship on their shoulders and I've been thinking about that ship months longer than they've been posting about it, which means I need to contribute more! But I don't even have time to write because of school and other things I need to do and I already have a fic that people are waiting for the next chapter of!

Clone^2 - graveyard shift
The dinging of the door alerts Sarah of someone walking in, and she barely glances up from her phone to see who it is. It's past midnight and somehow her coworker John managed to convince her to take over his graveyard shift at their convenience store. He owes her one, because she's been standing here for an hour and nobody's come in.
Not a surprise to her - nobody likes to stay out past sundown in Amity Park, even after nearly three years of ghosts appearing all over the place.
But still, it happens sometimes. So she doesn't look up. The dinging bell just lets her know that it's not a ghost, and that's really all she can ask for. The last time she worked late and a ghost came in, she was cleaning the shelves from some weird goo for an hour.
However, the lack of footsteps in the store after a few seconds worries her enough that she forces her head to lift. And a frown weaves its way onto her face when she sees no one at the door, nor anyone in the closet aisles.
...Shit, was there really a ghost here? Can they ring door when they come in? Normally she sees them just phase right through. And normally they glow, bright and jarring that leaves a migraine building behind Sarah's eyes.
Her eyes quickly scan the shelves again, looking for anything out of place -- anyone with too many heads, or too many teeth, or snakes for hair. She's pretty sure a coworker saw that once when they were working graveyard.
But she still sees no one. Apprehension raises the hair on the back of her neck, and she straightens up from her lean against the counter. Fuuuck. Was this one of those... marshmallow ghosts? An animal ghost?
Sarah really does not want to have to fight off a three-eyed raccoon looking-thing with eagle feet. She's heard the horror stories. And there was no way to contact the Phantom or the Red Huntress to come pick it up -- and she wasn't gonna try her luck with the Drs. Fentons.
Her fingers itch for the broom hanging on the wall behind her. It probably won't do much against a mutant raccoon-ghost-monster, but it'll make her feel better.
There's a rustle and crinkle in the candy aisle, and Sarah's hands are curled around the broom before she could blink. Her heart beating in her chest. She walks out from the counter, the bristled end raised like a bat in the air as she creeps apprehensively towards the noise.
There's nothing there when she peers around the side, and the aisle shelves are tall enough that she can't see over them.
She raises the broom higher. Sarah was in softball. She could take out a raccoon-eagle-hybrid.. thing.... easily. She just... needs to pretend its a golf ball. Except golf isn't softball so that's a terrible comparison.
Oh god she was gonna get her face ripped off, wasn't she.
John so owes her one. So much.
Creeping down the aisle, she keeps her ears perked for any new sounds. But all she can really hear is the soft pop music playing on the store speakers -- chosen by yours truly from her own personal playlist -- and the hum of the freezers. Ugh. This was not good for her paranoia. Like, at all.
Sarah's down at the end of the aisle when she feels a quick set of taps on her shoulder. Her nerves are already shot, so she shrieks and whirls around on her foot, swinging the broom blindly.
Only to be met with sudden and blunt resistance. Blinking rapidly, Sarah stares up and sees a black gloved hand gripping the broom handle tightly, small white bandages peeking over the side around five fingers. Following the hand down connects it with an arm, and then a chest, and suddenly she's staring at a black hoodie and black jacket.
When she tilts her head up, Sarah comes face to face with the bone-white mask and the terrifying, unearthly green eyes of their local vigilante, the Phantom.
...Holy fuck. It was the Phantom.
He was taller than she initially thought. Was her jaw on the ground? Probably. It was flapping like a fish out of water. "I- uh, you-- buh--"
Slowly, the Phantom raised his free hand and wrapped it around the handle of the broom. Sarah watches, wide eyed still and stammering as he firmly plucked the broom out of her hands and turned to lean it against the shelves.
Something about him doing that must've kicked her brain back into gear, because the first thing that comes out of her mouth is; "Your eyes are really green."
And she was going to lock herself in the freezer in the back for that one. She feels her face grow hot with embarrassment, and the Phantom only looks at her blankly. Her eyes shift nervously. "Well, it's true."
It was! The green eyes of the Phantom was his most defining feature other than that unsettling mask he wore. Especially considering they were the same color as some of the ghosts. It was one of the many, many creepy things about the guy.
Looking at it gave her the same, faint headache as when she stared at a ghost for too long. So Sarah drops her gaze a little to avoid it.
The Phantom remains silent, but he raises his hands and signs something to her that she doesn't understand. Fuck, that's right. He didn't speak - and Sarah doesn't know any ASL.
Sarah cringes. "Sorry, I don't know ASL."
She can feel his burning green eyes boring into her, and he remains as silent as the grave as he reaches into his back pocket and pulls out a phone in a plain black case. She watches him turn it on -- or at least she assumes he does, there's a privacy protector covering the screen -- and type something into.
He holds it up to her face when he's done, and she squints at the screen. In the notes app, a small text reads; 'We're ready to pay.'
..Oh. This wasn't Sarah's night. Embarrassment flashes hot through her and she forces out a laugh in order to try and quell it, Phantom shoves the phone back into his pocket. "Oh! Oh, right! I'm sorry, I'll uh- get up to the front--" She stops in her tracks.
Wait. Did that message say 'we?'
She smiles nervously, tilting her head up at the Phantom as her brows thread together. "Um," she swallows dryly, "we?" Didn't... didn't the Phantom work alone?
As if startled, the Phantom jerks. And for the first time since he showed up, he blinks and turns around. Which personally, doesn't bode that well as the Phantom swivels his head from side to side like he's looking for someone.
Sarah thinks, after the Phantom stalks up to the end of the aisle and looks around, she hears him sigh. And when he walks back, he snatches the broom with an elegant twist and knocks it against the shelves.
Thud, thud, thud!
There's very, very quiet shuffling that Sarah would have missed if she hadn't been looking for it, and then silence for a few seconds, before suddenly there's a small child pushing past her side and over to the Phantom.
And in the process, scaring the shit out of Sarah.
She squeaks and jumps, nearly tripping over her own feet as the child makes a spot next to the Phantom's side. "Where did you come from?!" She says, her heart pounding against her ribcage.
The child says nothing, just stares at her through a creepy bone-white mask reminiscent of the Phantom's. Although unlike the Phantom, he was wearing some... kind of... dark red ninja outfit?
Sarah really wasn't quite sure. It was partially covered by a jacket that clearly belonged to the Phantom and with the sleeves rolled up multiple times to his elbows. The jacket alone nearly obscured the sword attached to his hip.
...Why the hell did the child have a sword.
She looks between Phantom and the child, at a loss for words. Why-- why did the Phantom have a kid with him, why was the kid wearing a mask like his.
"You have a child with you." Sarah says bluntly, her voice flat. It betrays how shocked she feels. The Phantom doesn't say anything, as she should have expected, but he does nod shortly.
The child bristles slightly, but says nothing. Part of his mouth was uncovered, and she watched it twist downward into a scowl at her. Unlike the Phantom, his eyes were not green. She couldn't see his eyes at all, actually. They were shadowed by the mask.
There's the sound of paper thwipping, and like a magician pulling out a card, the Phantom holds out a note card to her. He stares, expectantly, and Sarah reluctantly takes it.
Written in neat writing and bold sharpie are the words; "This is Wraith."
...And that's it. Sarah glances up at Phantom. Then at the supposed 'Wraith'. Then back at Phantom. "You're bringing a child with you to ghost hunt?" She asks, and okay, maybe she's not able to hide all of the judgement leaking into her voice. "And you gave him a sword?"
The Phantom stares at her blankly, or well, probably blankly. All of his expressions are unreadable with the mask he wears. But the kid, Wraith, bristles again like a stray cat. His scowl deepens, he puffs up, and he opens his mouth like he's about to say something.
...Only for the Phantom to immediately snap his hand out and cover his mouth. Wraith makes an angry sound, and Phantom drags the boy into his side, seemingly nonplussed as he twists his wrist and pulls another note card out of nowhere.
"He is perfectly capable of handling himself." The card reads, and then continues; "I would not have been able to stop him anyways. Wraith would have followed me regardless."
Did he have these prepared?
Best not to question it, Sarah decides. The Phantom has always been strange. So she just nods mutely and stuffs the two notecards into her back pocket. "Okay," she says, and moves around the Phantom. "I'll check you out up front."
