DP X DC WRITING PROMPT #4
Just a Shade
Vlad blasts Phantom with a new invention of his without any warning. What it does is it siphons away his ectoplasm and weakens Phantom to the point it reverses his powers, but not in the way you think. Instead of needing to concentrate to be intangible/invisible, he has to concentrate to stay tangible/visible and trying exhaustes him to a dangerous amount. Like, almost passing out and fading away entirely kind of dangerous. Like this, he's like ghosts you see in some movies, he can't touch or move objects more than an inch, plus add in he can't speak other than some ominous noises. In other words, he's stuck. For who knows how long.
The Justice League haven't heard from Phantom for a while, but they just think he's probably more busy on his home terf and can't spare any time. That's fine. Everyone keeps going about their business as usual. Even more time passes and the Justice League are getting suspicious over Phantom's absence and are worried.
They go looking for him and come to find out that they've been receiving multiple messages and calls from Team Phantom that were blocked/jammed, asking if they've seen the missing ghost and that he never came home however long ago. JL asks Team Phantom when was they heard from him and what was he doing at the time. They tell JL that he was last seen fighting one of his rogues, Plasmius, but that they haven't seen the evil ghost for a while either and that the other rogues were acting strangely.
The JL go to Amity Park with the proper precautions, and find a hoard of angry ghosts swarming the mayor's home, but they're being blocked from entering by a ghost shield. The JL cautiously asked some of the ghosts what was going on and they reply that the man hiding behind the ghost shield has harmed and stolen their Prince. The JL decide to pass through and break down the door to the house.
The house is eerily quiet as they search for the resident. They find Vlad curled up on the floor in one of the corners of the lab absolutely beside himself. His face is splotchy red, bags under bloodshot eyes, and hair in disarray. His usually well kept suit is dirty and torn. He rocks back and forth mumbling, "I didn't mean to. Never wanted to end him. Never. Never." Vlad thinks he killed Danny all the way dead, so his mental state is in shambles.
He's terrified once he sees the JL there. He went through all the trouble of jamming any correspondence between them and Amity Park in fear of them taking retribution for offing one of their members, unintentional or not. The JL are furious and grief stricken for the loss of the young ghost. That is until Superman picks up on the faint sound of something clicking and a sound similar to harsh wind hitting bare branches. He brings it to the other's attention and they start searching for the noise when Batman recognizes the clicks as code.
They find a pen on the table next to a messy handwritten note, the words rushed and staggered as if the writer kept being interrupted. The note read:
"Help. Trapped. Need portal. Far Frozen. To weak to open myself."
The JL are confused until they see Phantom's form flicker in and out of focus like a film reel. He looks terribly gaunt and exhausted to the point of almost collapsing. The JL get to work opening the portal with the help of a frantic Vlad, securing a ghost net to carry Phantom in like a stretcher, and booting up a map of the Ghost Zone to get to the Far Frozen. The JL decide to send the three leaders, Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. With Phantom secured in the net and all three ready to go, they step into the portal.
I'm kinda reminded of that fic where Danny is stuck in-between dimensions because of his parents so he decides to haunt the Watchtower to get the Justice League's help. Not trying to copy anything I swear. I woke up with this idea on the brain.

Unhealthy Obsession.
Okay wait actually, remembering how it took a while for Pariah Dark to get sealed off just means that they were some bending in his sworn oath, right?
Okay another angst prompt, consider; softly insane! Danny.
(Tw: Dark!Danny, morally ambiguous? No one's having a great time tbh but like it's poetically soft imo. Also our boy's officially lost it :∆ his words are cryptic.)
Final warning: This is depressingly sad for Danny's part, sure. But he's also unjustified so I'll classify this as [Dead Dove: Do not eat]
Danny's adopted by the Waynes just like, a bit little short time before his coronation (also he's around 16-18 years old because I'm dragging the desperate for validation because he never felt seen unless someone praises him trope). At that time span he's this very rarely seen brother that's absolutely trying his best between juggling his very impromptu 'how to be a proper monarch' lessons (read: the ancients drilling manors, rules, oaths, etc to his poor head because they don't want a repeat Pariah Dark) and being a present family members because he genuinely loves them. (They know about the vigilante stuff and the Waynes understandably backed away from convincing him, seeing how Danny already has shit ton on his plate.)
Until one day something big happens that almost ended the world, and Bruce dies. It was just him and his dad there, with no other bird or bat in sight. No one knew yet— no one needs to know. Kronos' carefully crafted human, no— prince finally shatters after all the pressure, and all he thinks is how unfair the world has been to him.
It's a very, very slow descent to insanity, what he had been through.
He lost so much, he won't lose anything again. And amidst the eerie scenery of a prince cradling the body of his father, was the sight of himself stitching him back together— giving him a new life. He whispered apologies after apologies to the unconscious man; and for a second Kronos would've pitied him.
Except he didn't. He knew he can't.
After all the chaos they finally had each other again, and Danny stood contently as he watched Alfred personally tend to his family's wounds, big or small. He also watched as his family bicker with each other after all they've been through, and realized something; all of this will die.
Alfred, Bruce, his brothers, Cass and Steph— they're all painfully mortal. He'll outlive his family, and in the end he'll be alone. He doesn't want to be left alone.
And what is to do when you realize your family is painfully, awfully mortal?
...you either curse them with immortality, or place a generational curse on them so you'll all meet in every life, of course! (Oh, did I mention about cursing your family so they'll all get reincarnated everytime they die to make them find each other by everytime?)
... except these curses are incredibly forbidden, because they go against the nature of life and death.
Which leads to the sight of Danny being cuffed from his neck, his arms, his wrists, and his legs. His expression is deadly calm, he smiles softly contrast to the Waynes that are watching in horror. He watches as his family's face contorts to something unreadable when his captors reads over his charges, and he couldn't bring himself to feel remorse.
"By the name of the Infinite realms, Prince Phantom is sentence to imprisonment, for the charges of tempering with the cycle of life and breaking the Royal oath."
"He will be serving until the day of his coronation by the terms of the infinite realms, under the watchful gaze of the ghost of time. The guilty may be there farewells before they are sent to their sentence."
Danny smiles at them; soft but undeniably cruel. He bows at them, like how he would bow on days where his father would teach him how to ballroom dance.
"this is not a goodbye, it is merely a see you later." He starts, voice full of merit. "May we meet again, and may the circumstances of our next meeting a better one."
His smile turns sharper then, the contrast between it and his soft eyes sends an unpleasant shiver. "For our destiny are tied, and our Fates will overlap with each other."
"You cannot change our destiny. For the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb, and our bond has tied us together."
"None of you will run from me— none of you can run from me."
"Because I will chase you down and hunt you until our family is complete."

DPxAtLA AU
This is just another DP crossover idea. AtLA & ALoK, starting with AtLA first. If nothing else, I feel like bending would either be effective against ghosts, at least to a degree, because it's fueled by chi which, I believe, is a spiritual energy despite being channeled through bodily movement. However, if I’m wrong & chi is actually a physical energy, then just like ki, it wouldn’t be effective at all due to the nature of ghosts.
At the same time, if it is spiritual, then it'd also depend on which element is being bend & the core elements & weaknesses of the Ghost themselves. So, in Danny's case, water, air, & possibly fire would be least effective against him, but lightningbending would hurt like hell!
The majority of Danny Phantom team would be 17-18 upon appearing in this world, with Jazz being 20 & Ellie being, like, 3-10 with the brain of a 12 year old. (I don’t care what the show or phandom says, Elle looks 8 in the cartoon. Also, this is after the Disasteroid & Elle being rebuilt with Sam’s DNA to stabilize her. Doing so regressed her to her actual age, which would’ve been, like, 2 at the time.)
Danny would definitely be able to learn waterbending, but he'd be limited to the manipulation of ice & unable to manipulate water beyond turning it to ice. I also think he'd be an airbender, which would come as a surprise to everyone there, especially the Gaang, & get him mistaken for the Avatar quite often. In reality, he's just aligned with ice as his main & wind as his secondary. I can see him creating his own style that has influence from both the waterbending & airbending styles. I suppose some might begin to call him a 'frostbender' or 'blizzardbender.'
If it were a twin au, Dina would just be straight waterbender, but like Katara, would be a healer too.
I feel like Danny, at least, would have the airbender ability of being able to travel to the Spirit World (via meditating like Aang), if not all the Halfas (by overshadowing Aang when he goes there & therefore piggybacking off him), though in the case of it just being Danny, Aang would have to teach him how through meditation. In my mind, the Spirit World is basically the Spiritual Plane of the Avatar universe & it has a connection to the Infinite Realms. The problem would be if the whole team is there because, obviously, no one but Danny, & possibly the other Halfas, can go to the Spirit World until ALoK. So, that'd at least delay them all returning home for a while.
One passes through the Spirit World first before going to the GZ.
The Halfas would definitely be able to see spirits in the Elemental Nations even when they are invisible. Not to mention, their ghost powers would be very effective against them.
Anyway, while in the Elemental Nations, Danny would learn how to fight formally (he'd have the most to learn) & Dina would get more effective training on how to merge water & ice with fighting. Meanwhile, spirits would recognize them as the "Spirit Prince & Princess."
If the rest of the team is involved, I don't see Jazz as being very bender-esque. Sam, I see as a 50/50 chance. Either she can't or she can & she's swamp sage-type & bends the water in plants. I dunno. If not, I do think that Sam would absolutely be into the idea of being a Kiyoshi Warrior. I can see Vlad & Valerie as firebenders, either both are able to lightningbend or just Vlad, who quickly gets to the point where his fire burns blue like Azula’s (if Valerie isn't a firebender, then she'd also be very into the Kiyoshi Warrior thing) & Tucker as an earthbender with a specialty in sandbending, before eventually becoming a metalbender after Toph teaches him how. Ellie would be either a waterbender that bends the water in plants like Sam or an earthbender. As for Vlad, either he learns a Fire Nation style of swordsmanship that utilizes firebending or he creates his own based on his own personal style of swordsmanship.
What also makes the Halfas odd is that their cores provide them with a certain amount of resistance. For instance, Danny is immune to cold & ice, while Dina & Ellie are merely resistant to it. However, Danny & Dina are both weak to lightning. Vlad is immune to fire & heat, as well as resistant to lightning.
If we go with Sam & Tucker eventually becoming Halfas themselves, Sam would be weak to both extreme heat & extreme cold as well as fire & ice. Meanwhile, Tucker would be resistant to fire, but immune to heat & lightning.
Sam would probably get onto Sokka for being as carnivorous as Tucker & praise Aang for being vegetarian until she realizes that the Water Tribes sorta have to eat meat not only because of their locations, but also because of the time they live in. It's just not feasible for the Water Tribe to turn vegetarian because they live at the poles where it's near impossible to farm produce. Such a major change in diet would either require abandoning their ancestral homes or intensive trading deals that just wouldn't be possible, especially for the Southern Water Tribe until after the war was over.
I also feel like Tucker & Sokka would get along great.
Maybe I’ll make it so the Halfas can only be ghosts in the Spirit World so that they aren’t so op all-the-time. However, in doing so, it’d make them all able to go there, but only via meditation. At the same time, I might make it so in order to reclaim the use of their ghost powers in the Elemental Nations, they have to die again & be revived.
Also, Danny is still able to create Ghost Ice outside of ghost form, which is nearly indestructible & at some point, he’d begin to make weapons from it. However, it takes a lot of training to be able to form it in human form. As humans, they have access to a couple ghost powers, but it's only to the level of ecto-liminal. Meaning that when they walk, they're silent, they are able to slow their falls & turn invisible for a short period of time in areas of high spiritual energy, can see in absolute darkness, can heal very quickly, are naturally stronger, faster, & more flexible than most humans (though, not superhumanly so), Danny, Dina, & Ellie being even more so due to being of a dhampiric bloodline, & able to affect spirits the way that Korra could. Also due to their dhampiric bloodline, they are still able to sense supernatural beings such as spirits. Dina, specifically, manages to keep her sirenic singing & ability to understand water-dwelling mammals & control other water-dwelling creatures to a degree.
I think that I’ll also make Danny, Dina, & Ellie ‘lightbenders.’ (It’s actually photomancy, but you know.)
I can also see Vlad teaming up with the Fire Nation, specifically Zuko, Iroh, Azula, & Ozai, giving them a limited amount of information on the new pieces in the war. However, he’d do so on the condition that Dina & Danny be turned over to him, Dina unharmed & treated with respect due to their friendship. He’d also refuse to do anything to Ellie due to his promise to Dina. He’d first show up with Azula right after the invasion of the North Pole.
He actually sees a lot of his own family’s dynamic in the Fire Lord’s family. Vlad sees a lot of his own father in Ozai, a lot of his Uncle Demetri in Iroh, & a lot of himself in both Zuko & Azula. He recognizes Zuko as being a lot like how he’d been when under his father’s thumb & Azula as being how he could’ve been if he’d never met Dina. He even bets that he’d also see a lot of his mother in Ursa had he met her & he’d be right. It actually strikes him seeing how they interact with each other & how similar their relationships are to his own family’s dynamics. His stomach sinking as he sees more, wondering which of the 2 Fire Heirs he’d have ended up like more had his own father, Manfred, continued to live & sent his mother off.
As such, he sympathizes with the prince & princess quite a bit. He actually tries to help them both to reconcile because he would’ve wanted someone to do so for he & his sibling had his mother not miscarried. He often wonders if said sibling lived, if their relationship would’ve been like Zuko & Azula’s.
Vlad actually becomes very important to both Zuko & Azula, almost taking the place of Iroh without really taking his place during the 3rd season. He gives them both advice during this time. He often wishes that his uncle hadn’t died so early in his life so that he could’ve been as much of a guide to him as Iroh has been to Zuko. Or, at least that his uncle had returned to Earth quicker as Vlad had been an adult & long into his career by the time the Dairy King had shown up at his mansion in Wisconsin. He’s honestly somewhat jealous of Zuko in that respects. I think that he’d get along rather well with Iroh once it was all said & done.
FYI, I’m debating making Azula have a bit of a crush on Danny. However, he can just smell the crazy on her & is like, “nope.” Also, even if she wasn’t completely off her rocker, he’s with Sam, so no anyway.
At the same time, it could make for an interesting dynamic as she tries over & over to lure him to her side with promises of making him her husband when she becomes Fire Lady & how they’ll rule the world with an iron fist. (I’m thinking how she behaved on Ember Island.) It kinda freaks Danny out because it’s reminding him of when Vlad was still after his mom which makes him sick to his stomach.
Anyway, while at the North Pole, Dina would feel a strange connection to both Tui & La, as well as Yue. She’d feel a sort of kinship with them & they with her. The same could be said of Danny & Ellie, but to a far lesser extent than Dina. She’d also be able to sense it when the moon spirit was in danger much like how Aang & Yue could. During the actual invasion, Dina is able to continue waterbending even while the moon was dead because she technically counts as her own moon. When the moon goes dark, Dina begins to shine brightly despite not being in ghost form & this is the first instance of ‘lightbending’ that takes place. Her light acts as a substitute for moonlight, so all waterbenders near her are still able to bend. In fact, even after this, her proximity regularly gives waterbenders a boost as if it were a full moon. Oddly, Danny can still bend, but that’s because his bending is fueled by starlight rather than moonlight.
Either Yue realizes that Dina has a connection to the moon as well & together, they are able to restore the moon spirit without Yue having to die. Or, Dina is with the waterbenders, helping them with her light & Yue has to die. If she’s there when Iroh mentions Yue having been touched by the moon, after saving both the moon & Yue, Yue becomes sickly. She still has a bit of the moon in her, but not enough to keep her healthy like before. Dina is fine because of her Halfa status. She only used enough of her energy to save the moon spirit. As for Sokka & Yue, she has to stand her ground about her duty & they don’t get together. It’s bittersweet.
At the same time, I feel like Vlad never really learned how to utilize his core element, rather he just continued to suppress it the way Danny tried to suppress his in Urban Jungle: at least, until it all burst out, at which point it would start over again. So, being in the Elemental Nations would give him a means to learn how to control his elements: fire as his main & lightning as his secondary.
I figure that when the Halfas bend, their cores light up, shining from within their body through their skin. Their cores also make their bending more powerful than most other benders. However, that can also make their bending more difficult to control at the beginning. As such, they have to work harder to get it under control.
I definitely think that Sam, & maybe even Ellie, would feel a certain connection to the Swamp & would absolutely be with Katara & Aang about not harming the Swamp. She’d be able to feel the life circulating through it. If she’s able to bend, it’d be here that she’d learn to control plants.
There's this idea I've seen where there is a tribe of waterbenders living out in the ocean & they've lost contact with the rest of the world. They're called the Ocean Water Tribe, they live on islands in the middle of the ocean, & they have a culture similar to the Polynesians, being wayfarers. They'd have an entirely different sort of bending style compared to either the North, South, or even the Swamp styles. I wanna put that in & have Dina learn both the Northern & Ocean styles.
I think that Sam would also see a lot of herself in Toph & her relationship with her parents.
It wouldn’t be until the Desert that Tucker would show signs of bending. The sand would react to him & later, he’d be able to turn earth to sand & bend that.
I believe that with Danny there, he could convince the Gaang to not betray Wan Shi Tong's trust because, with his expertise in astronomy, strong connection to the stars, an innate & well-trained understanding of how the stars & planets move, & the ability to tell time & never get lost based on the position of the stars, he could figure out everything that the Planetary Calendar Room would show on his own with enough time & research. Especially considering that, by then, he’d have a good enough handle on this new world’s star calendar. It’d be one of the first things he’d get under his belt while in the Elemental Nations because I don’t think that he’d handle not knowing those things very well. I can see him creating a star map of his own & specifically making a copy of Earth’s star map for Wan Shi Tong as his bit of knowledge.
This would prevent the loss of the library, at least, for the foreseeable future.
At the same time, even though the library doesn’t sink & so Toph has her full attention on Appa & the sandbenders, I still don’t think she’d be able to save him. Simply because of just how outside her element she is in the Desert. Not only is her seismic sense not working as it should, she’s also not used to bending sand yet, & she’s also outnumbered.
At the end of the Ba Sing Se invasion, Vlad kidnaps Dina & brings her to the Fire Nation with him as an honored guest/prisoner. That way, part of the Gaang & Team Phantom’s goal is to rescue Dina. By that point, Vlad would find his feelings for her changing. Their relationship as warden & prisoner would evolve & develop, Vlad realizing that he cares about her far more than he does power or fame or money.
Azula often taunts them by calling Dina Vlad’s “little pet,” which angers Vlad more than Dina because he respects the female Halfa too much to ever consider her a pet. When rumors begin to circulate about Dina being his whore/sex slave, he gets frustrated & angry because he’d never make her do such things even if he is attracted to her. She is his best friend first & foremost.
During the Day of Dark Sun, Dina is killed by Azula & Vlad damn near loses his mind. In an effort to save her, he uses CPR to restart her heart with tears in his eyes, at which point she’s revived & goes ghost humanside for the first time since they all got to the Elemental Nations. Vlad lets Dina go with Zuko to save her while he stays behind to misdirect the Fire Nation from locating Team Phantom & the Gaang.
Sometime between now & the final episode, the other Halfas also die & are revived.
Vlad eventually betrays Ozai by requesting that Iroh kill him then restart his heart with lightningbending during the war. The only reason it works is because he’s resistant to lightning anyway. Afterwards, he confronts either Ozai or Azula as Plasmius & helps in the fight.

Timekeeper's assistants AU
Alright y'all! This is gonna be my info dump post for the Timekeepers assistant Au- buckle up cause it's gonna be a long one!
Inspired by @queendibz post here
The entire purpose of the assistant squad is to keep all the time lines running smoothly- this can range from stopping a world ending event to making sure things misplaced by natural ghost portals get put back into the right time and place.
So First up on the crew list,
Dan:
-Dan definitely isn't a homicidal maniac anymore but he's not 100 percent "redeemed" either.
-I mean he's probably still a bit of sadist but he tries not to be?
-The best description I can give is that he's in recovery, basically.
-So, Clockwork knew that Dan would eventually bust out of the thermos just because it wasn't built to hold a ghost of his power level for a prolonged period of time. But beyond that?? He has no idea about anything in regards to Dan. Since Dan's creation was averted, his timeline doesn't exist anymore. He's a paradox that exists outside of time, and unfortunately, that means he's the one entity in the multiverse that exists in Clockwork's blindspot. There's no way for him to know what Dan's going to do next.
-Anyway, Dan eventually breaks out of the thermos fully intending to Fuck Shit Up, And Clockwork makes a point of informing him that if he leaves the clock tower he will cease to exist. (Like Dan, the tower exists outside of time, so he's safe there.)
-Dan is the first member of the assistant squad. Granted, it took a while for him to come around to the idea of helping Clockwork but he got there eventually.
-Dan is an entity that was born out of the rage and grief of two very broken people and he has so much shit he's working through as a result
-One of the first things he had to do was recognize and accept that he's an entity that's completely separate from Vlad and Danny. He might have all their memories and the weight of their mistakes on his shoulders, and on top of that, the atrocities he himself committed because of them. The first step is realizing that he doesn't have to be defined by the people that made him.
-It's a really fucking difficult thing to do tho and he's got a lot of weird emotions in regards to Vlad, Danny and the Fentons as a result. A near constant identity crisis, self loathing, daddy issues, something that could arguably be called an Oedipus complex, (FUCKING THANKS, VLAD)
-Cannot stand the smell of fast food, it makes him nauseous and the sight of Nasty Burger sauce alone is enough to make him vomit Ectoplasm.
-He's just a hot mess all around y'all
-He tries to keep his interactions with the Danny's as minimal as possible at first bc of this. The first time he meets them in person he shape shifts into Danny like he did in TUE and just pretends to be one of them. Some of them have had interactions with their respective Dan's already and would be super wary of him and probably pretty freaked out otherwise.
-Dan is eventually allowed to leave the clocktower for supervised "Field missions" with the aid of a time medallion to keep him from poofing out of existence, but it takes a while for clockwork to build up that level of trust.
-Dan's shapeshifting ability Actually comes into play a bit on a lot of those missions, since he can Mimic Danny it also makes sense that he'd be able to impersonate Vlad in the same way. Granted he's not incredibly comfortable taking on either of their appearances but it does help him hone his shapeshifting ability to the point where he's able to pick and choose features from both Vlad and Danny and sorta make his own human disguise.
-Most of the time he acts as the eye in the sky from the tower, monitoring for timeline anomalies and then notifying the appropriate member of the assistant squad.
-He has a room under the clock tower that he operates from. I kinda like the idea of there being like, catacombs down there? Anyway he's got all kinds of monitors and view screens and he very rarely leaves. It also doubles as his "living space." He doesn't need to sleep but he's got a big mess of a pillow fort that he crashes in regardless bc sometimes you just NEED to be unconscious for a while. The catacombs are also absolutely full of those little blob ghosts that wander around the zone bc They're attracted to the ecto energy the tower gives off. He's really annoyed by them at first but they grow on him after a while and now he just dotes on them.
-There's a specific throw pillow sized one that likes to hang out in Dan's room a lot and he ended up getting a little over attached to the stupid thing. His name is Dorian. Bc he's a gift.
-SIR THATS MY EMOTIONAL SUPPORT BLOB
-Dan's appearance has changed slightly. He wears his hair loose now and it's kinda just this big fiery mane when it's not contained. His cape is more of a cloak now, it has a hood and he wears it sorta pinned together at the shoulder so the DP logo is covered.
-Dan's relationship with the rest of the Danny's is kinda weird, and a little strained. He has a hard time being around them for very long because, well, he used to sort of be them? Except not really? He does care about them tho, and the last thing he'd want is for one of them to end up like him.
-His relationship with clockwork definitely starts out pretty familial, after he becomes his assistant, anyway. There's room for that to develop into meddling minutes but I'm not entirely sure if I'm gonna go that route yet.
-The Danny's only ever hear his voice for a while before he finally let's them meet him for real, so they end up calling him Charlie for a while as a joke. Cause Ya know. Charlie's angels. Even after Charlie still ends up being his designated name on missions.
Mer! Danny:
-Was recruited bc a lot of the shit that gets sucked through natural portals ends up in a body of water somewhere and when that happens he's on call to retrieve it.
-Is Actually not at all ghostly! Mer Danny's situation is basically the plot of H2O (just add water), or if you haven't seen that, Aquamarine. And by that I mean he's only a merfolk in water.
-He's an electric eel
-His Jack and Maddie are marine biologists, with a particular interest in marine cryptids
-We're taking sea monsters baby!!!
-Not entirely sure how this Danny ended up half mer yet but I'll figure it out, lmao.
-14 years old
-His nickname/ designation is "Moray"
Crown Prince! Danny:
-Nickname/designation is Prince / Princey
-16 years old
-Not allowed to go anywhere in the zone without the Fright knight bc of some ancient ghost law bullshit, so he has a constant babysitter.
-He's next in line bc he sealed away Pariah, but can't take the throne until he is both, A) at least 18 years and B) Completely deceased
-Vlad is his Regent bc he did have a part in the whole sealing the previous king thing, but he's also not completely dead so his power is super limited there.
-As Prince Danny has the crown of fire in his ghost form, although now the name is kinda ironic seeing as it's completely frozen over. It's blue now and it smokes like dry ice.
-As Regent, Vlad has the ring of rage for "safe keeping"
-Vlad and Danny are pretty much constantly at each other's throats, fright knights probably had to shut down more than a few of Vlad's attempts to usurp the crown from Danny through combat.
-Princey deals with the timeline issues that involve the ghost zones' internal / political affairs, and he's gotten very well versed with dealing with the Observants.
Winged! Danny :
-15 years old
-Mallard duck wings
-His Vlad is a swan
-Comes from a family of waterfowl, Jack is a goose, and Maddie is a white swan. Both he and jazz are ducks bc of their grandparents.
-As Fenton his wings are white, like jazz, and as phantom they turn black with a green iridescent sheen.
-He's trans
-Nickname/ designation is inviso Bill. Bc ducks have bills haha get it-
-Ghostly wail?? Nah son he's gotta killer QUACK
-Absolute besties with Mer!Danny/ Moray, sometimes they go swimming together after a mission.
Clone! Danny:
-Physically he's a 12-year-old, but he's only been alive for a few months.
-Alt universe where Vlad manages to stabilize the perfect clone with his own DNA.
-Dani still exists, and the original danny from his time line also rescued the other problematic clones.
-Doesnt like the fact that he's a clone, and very much wants them all DEAD. Bc them running around is a reminder that he's not the real danny.
-Human half looks the same aside from the widows peak and the mallen streak. His ghost half takes after plasmius. Blue skin, and the Hazmat kept it's original white colors.
-Probably has fangs and a forked tounge.
-Not so much a member of the squad as he is someone that they need to be keeping an eye on.
-Does NOT get along with them.
-Dan enjoys making him uncomfortable.
-Designation is Masters / the brat (not to his face tho)
Family Breakfast AU! Danny:
-A BABY
-The boy is a fucking overpowered todler okay. He's an 8 year old.
-The biological son of his Vlad, was born a Halfa. Jack, Vlad and Maddie got their shit together and are in a healthy poly relationship.
-Got separated from Vlad one time in the zone and inadvertently adopted by the assistant squad and clockwork.
-His Vlad is aware of the squad and just. Dad's the crap out of the Danny's as a result. It makes for some..... interesting interactions.
-I can't think of a nickname so I'm just gonna be lazy and say he gets to be the one Tru Danny bc cute little kind privileges lmao.
Full ghost! Danny:
-15 years old, will always look 14.
-Nickname/designation is Toast
-Died in the portal accident and got fucking FRIED.
-He always smells like somethings burning.
-He's really bright and sorta sparks a bit, you can see his bones glowing through the hazmat.
-He still leave the zone to protect his version of amity, but lives with clockwork full time.
Canon Danny (NOT PHANTOM PLANET COMPLIANT) :
-Basically show Danny, except phantom planet never happened fuck you
-Joined the crew after the events of de stabilized
-Also he's trans fuck butch
-Franken! Danny
-Yall remember that Headless Danny Au? This is my take.
-Is Actually 20 years old, but physically stuck at age 14. Bc he's a walking corpse :)
-Came from a timeline that was directly parallel to Full ghost! Danny. He dies in the portal accident, but jack and Maddie are in the lab when it happens and manage to sort of bring him back using a combination of science and freaky ghost junk.
-So he's basically possessing/ stuck inside of his own dead body. Which, is thankfully not rotting or going into rigor mortis bc Ectoplasm is rather similar to formaldehyde, but he's not the most durable thing and bits and pieces fall off from time to time.
-Like his head. For example.
-He's pretty desensitized to it at this point and if he loses a leg after a ghost fight he doesn't see anything wrong with sitting down on the curb of a main street to stich it back on. His being dead isn't exactly a secret.
-Don't ever ask him to "give you a hand" bc he can and will not hesitate to pop one off and Chuck it at you.
-Said hand and any other body part will continue to function just fine even if it isn't attached to anything, btw.
-Nickname/ designation is Adam. Bc. Ya know. that's the name Frankenstein's monster gave itself.
Post Phantom Planet! Danny:
-A very jaded 22 year old who is driven only by spite and enough caffeine to kill a horse
-Very, very tired of the hero thing.
-Being a global celebrity isn't all it's cracked up to be.
-Decided to follow Vlads lead and fuck off to space for a while. Partially to get away from everyone and also partially bc he kinda feels responsible for the fact that the only other person like him and probably floating DEAD in the void somewhere? And yeah Vlad fucked up all on his own but what if he'd tried harder to get through to him things could have been different-
-Joins the crew after a natural portal opens up in space and decides to help out and use clockworks resources to try and track down his Vlad.
-Nickname/ Designation is Polaris, aka the north star.

34 with Red Danny? for the writing prompts?
CW: Beating someone with a handgun, implied noncon references, murder, forced to watch, intimate/sadistic whumper, whumper pov, Bram is a bad man
Bram keeps the hazards flashing on the little car, parked off the side of the road, waiting. Nate he sends into the woods to hide, knowing his black-haired prince will do exactly as he's told, now that he's come back to bring him to a new home, forgiven him for Ashley's death.
Bram will always forgive his true love anything.
The new puppy, though, he still has locked in the trunk. Can't take chances, even if the puppy's bloodied and beaten and hasn't eaten in two days.
The trees around them are tall, blocking out the early morning sun painting the sky with deep reds against the underside of clouds rolling in. It'll rain, Bram thinks, pretty soon.
As if answering the thought, a car with its headlights on becomes visible, and Bram waves his arms, his hair slightly long. He knows he doesn't look as strong as he is.
It helps to make him seem harmless.
The man driving the car slows down, puts on his own hazards, pulls over. The gun Bram has tucked into his waistband under his shirt shifts against his lower back as he smiles and steps forwards, friendly as can be.
There's a muffled thump inside the trunk of the car, but really it's just fine if the puppy wakes up. He wants him to see this, anyway.
The man steps out of the car once he comes to a stop, giving a wave in return. "Havin' some car trouble?" He has an accent, and Bram tries to commit it to memory. If that's how they speak here, well, he'll have to match it. He'll need to sound the same to slide under the radar.
"Just a bit. Engine issues." He gives a shrug. "I don't suppose you have jumper cables?"
"Sure do. I'll move my car up some, help you out." The man's eyes move and he pauses, caught by something. Bram looks over his shoulder and realizes there's a bloodied handprint on the back windshield he'd completely forgotten to wash.
The new puppy had nearly twisted himself free, just once, and Bram had pulled his arm back down but a few seconds to late. Shit, he'd meant to stop by a store and get some paper towels for that.
Oh, well.
He moves faster than the man does, but only just.
He's nearly made it back into his car when the butt of Bram's gun slams down onto his head, crumpling him to the ground, and Bram laughs, high-pitched hyena barking, hitting him again and again and again.
There's so much blood.
Ashley would love this.
He's still breathing when Bram drags him by one arm off the gravel that lines the side of the road, into the patchy grass, deeper, nearly to the trees. Breathing, and making funny little moaning sounds, trying to form words.
He leaves him there, wondering if he'll try to crawl, how far he'll get. Popping the trunk to the car, he drags the new puppy out, cursing and spitting at him through his own t-shirt tied around his head to form a crude gag. His hands are taped together, and he stumbles more than walks, grunting at the pain he must feel in his hips, deep up into his back.
Bram grins when the new puppy sees the second car and his eyes widen, surprise and fear and fury dancing over what can be seen of his expression. He tries to jerk himself free again, and all of it is beautiful, and flickers of misery and horror trace Bram's skin.
A banquet. A fucking feast.
All his for the eating.
When they make it to where he left the bleeding man, who has managed to crawl only about a foot towards the woods, Bram pushes the new puppy to his knees, rakes a finger back through wavy red hair crusted with blood, enjoys the way pushing on the wounds makes the puppy whimper and whine.
"I need a new car," Bram says, casually, as though they're strolling a used car lot and not staring at a bleeding, barely-breathing stranger on the ground.
The new puppy makes a sound of dismay and tries to push himself back to his feet, but Bram sweeps them out from under him, sending him crashing back onto his knees, pushing hard with one hand to hold him right where he is.
Nate appears out of the trees like a ghost, standing there, only staring down. His expression is blank, perfectly empty, beautifully devoid of anything but resigned acceptance.
"We have a long way to go," Bram says, almost cheerfully, rubbing at the new puppy's bony shoulder with one thumb, feeling him shudder in disgust underneath his hand. "And now we have a new car to go there with."
Nate swallows, and nods. He looks back towards the road, and not at the new puppy or the man on the ground.
Bram levels the handgun - he stole that from a body, too, at some point, though he can't remember which one or quite when it happened - and fires.
The man on the ground jerks once and goes still. The new puppy lets out a breathy scream behind his gag, tears running down to soak into the soft heathered fabric, blue eyes wide and terrified, looking to Nate.
Nate doesn't look. He doesn't jump. He won't meet the new puppy's eyes.
He just turns and walks back up the slight rise to the cars, leaning in and picking up the bags of supplies Bram keeps, moving them from one car back to the new one, without saying a single word.
"You're going to be so good for me," Bram murmurs, and the new puppy whines, lets out muffled sobs, and slumps forwards, tears falling to soak into the dirt.
Bram keeps him on his knees next to the body until Nate returns to tell them the car is loaded, and it's time to go.

In the long run it was a good result. They found quite a bit of child pornography in his little hovel of a bedroom. My parents knew I did it but couldn’t quite figure out how until the Hogwarts letter came. They were both horrified & relieved. But to make a long story short. Once I met Severus Snape & we put our interest in the Dark Arts together... I got WORSE. & it felt good.

I respect that victory &even though I miss them.. My children don’t need me. I wasn’t good to them when they did. I doubt they’re aware I came back and I’ll keep it that way for all our sakes. There’s no point in asking me how exactly I returned to life. I don’t know and I don’t particularly care. Maybe Hell just can’t handle me yet.

off the rack #1302
Monday, February 24, 2020
 Jee-Riz will be busy the next couple of weekends. We will be at the Jim Durrell Arena for the Capital Trade Show on Sunday, March 1. Stop by our tables for some comic books at bargain basement prices. Then we'll set up at the Delta Hotel for the Capital Comic Book Con on Sunday, March 8. This is where we'll have our premiere selection of back issues for sale. I hope the old bod can handle all that lifting.
 Runaways #30 - Rainbow Rowell (writer) Andre Genolet (art) Dee Cunniffe (colours) VC's Joe Caramagna (letters). The Runaways' stint as the J-Team seems to be winding down with the revelation that their leader and benefactor is nothing more than an old glory hound. Unfortunately, one of them might be paying the ultimate price. Talk about a cliffhanger ending.
 Legion of Super-Heroes #4 - Brian Michael Bendis (writer) Ryan Sook & Mikel Janin (pencils) Wade von Grawbadger & Mikel Janin (inks) Jordie Bellaire (colours) Dave Sharpe (letters). We interrupt this origin story of the Legion of Super-Heroes for a very important message about Aquaman's trident. I want to know who has it.
 The Red Mother #3 - Jeremy Haun (writer) Danny Luckert (art) Ed Dukeshire (letters). Man, I love this fantasy/mystery. The art is gorgeous. The main character Daisy is intelligent. I want to help her figure out what's going on with the red visions. This is a comic book that I think more people should be buying.
 Conan the Barbarian #13 - Jim Zub (writer) Roge Antonio (art) Israel Silva (colours)
VC's Travis Lanham (letters). Part one of "Into the Crucible" finds Conan trapped in a maze with other warriors. There are death traps at every turn. The surprise on the last page was a shock and it made me want to read the next issue as soon as possible.
 Archie #711 - Mariko Tamaki & Kevin Panetta (writers) Laura Braga (art) Matt Herms (colours) Jack Morelli (letters). I don't watch the CW TV shows but I do like the comic books. The teenage angst and drama makes me cringe sometimes but the art right now is what's keeping me coming back for more each issue.
 The Old Guard: Force Multiplied #3 - Greg Rucka (writer) Leandro Fernandez (art) Daniela Miwa (colours) Jodi Wynne (letters). This is another comic book that I think more people should be buying. Andromache (Andy for short) and her immortal pals are ambushed by someone from her past. We're talking way past. Centuries. If you can't find these on the racks right now, wait and buy the trade. You won't be disappointed.
 Daredevil #18 - Chip Zdarsky (writer) Jorge Fornes (art) Nolan Woodard (colours) VC's Clayton Cowles (letters). I like the leaner, meaner Owl that wants to be kingpin of Hell's Kitchen. He's going to have a hard time taking control with the hired muscle that the Stromwyns have hitting the streets. I'm calling them Marvel's Fatal Five.
 Batman #89 - James Tynion IV (writer) Carlo Pagulayan, Guillem March & Danny Miki (art) Tomeu Morey (colours) Clayton Cowles (letters). Speculators are all drooling because this issue features the first appearance of the Joker's newest main squeeze. She appears in two panels in extreme close-up so we don't know what she looks like or who she is. Harley's here too but she's a good guy now. I'm more curious to find out who the Designer is and how he's connected to Catwoman.
 Fantastic Four #19 - Dan Slott (writer) Sean Izaakse (art) Marcio Menyz & Erick Arciniega (colours) VC's Joe Caramagna (letters). The conclusion of "Point of Origin" starts off with a prelude to the next adventure for the team back on Earth. Meanwhile 44 light years away, Reed and the Overseer of Spyre engage in fisticuffs but then have a Kumbaya moment that made me roll my eyes. All is well that ends well for their space adventure and so it's homeward bound with an extra passenger, Johnny's soul mate Sky from Spyre. The next story has some classic FF characters that we haven't seen in a while. I'm looking forward to it.
 Valkyrie #8 - Jason Aaron & Torunn Gronbekk (writers) Cafu (art) Jesus Aburtov (colours) VC's Joe Sabino (letters). A new story starts here featuring All-Father Thor. A darkness deep within the earth threatens to overwhelm the planet. Val and Thor dig deep to find it and uh-oh. Resistance is futile. The Anti-Life is a new Norse myth that we haven't seen yet. I want to know who set it off. No, it's not Darkseid.
 Wolverine #1 - Fans have been clamouring for the mutant runt to get his own book again and here it is. The big $7.99 US number one has two complete stories. One is a mystery and the other is Wolverine doing what he does best.
 "The Flower Cartel" by Benjamin Percy (writer) Adam Kubert (art) Frank Martin (colours) and VC's Cory Petit (letters) has Wolverine and X-Force tracking down stolen shipments of Krakoan drugs. The trail leads to Alaska and someone named The Pale Girl.
 "Catacombs" by Benjamin Percy (writer) Viktor Bogdanovic (art) Matthew Wilson (colours) and VC's Cory Petit (letters) sends Wolverine to Paris where he meets vampire killer Louise that sets up a confrontation with Dracula. Hordes of vampires are dispatched.
 The Pale Girl intrigues me more than Dracula but I don't know which story will continue in #2. The stories don't seem to be related so we'll have to wait and see.
 DCeased: Unkillables #1- Tom Taylor (writer) Karl Mostert (pencils) Trevor Scott, Neil Edwards & John Livesay (inks) Rex Lokus (colours) Saida Temofonte (letters). This 3-issue mini has a DCU infested with the Anti-Life Virus. It's DC heroes and villains fighting zombies featuring the uninfected Jason Todd/ Red Hood and Cassandra Cain/Batgirl for the good guys and Deathstroke and Vandal Savage for the bad guys. The art is very nice and I'm a fan of Tom's writing so I'm going to keep reading.
 Plunge #1 - Joe Hill (writer) Stuart Immonen (art) Dave Stewart (colours) Deron Bennett (letters). I wasn't going to read this new DC Black Label book until I saw Stuart Immonen's name in the credits. I love his art. This is a story about a marine disaster way up near the Arctic Circle. There's a ghost ship, scientists and seas creatures. The marine biologist in me is curious.
 Guardians of the Galaxy #2 - Al Ewing (writer) Juann Cabal (art) Federico Blee (colours) VC's Cory Petit (letters). Well that didn't take long. The team's mission to save the galaxy from dark Zeus and save Hercules ends with the threat neutralised and a surprise sacrifice. Tears are shed. I'm not worried though. Rocket didn't die on the last mission.
 Marauders #8 - Gerry Duggan (writer) Stefano Caselli (art) Edgar Delgado (colours) VC's Cory Petit (letters). Bishop retrieves the dead mutant from last issue with the help of Iceman, who takes some revenge on the humans. Storm takes the death hard as well but to me it's just empty theatrics because every mutant can be brought back to life. I'm just wondering if there will be changes to this hero when they're resurrected.
 Joker: Killer Smile #3 - Jeff Lemire (writer) Andrea Sorrentino (art) Jordie Bellaire (colours) Steve Wands (letters). The good Doctor Ben succumbs to the Joker's mind games and helps the clown prince of crime escape from Arkham Asylum. There was one part of the story that bugged me even though I understood the urgency of Batman going to save the doctor's family. Other than that, this was a good psychological thriller.

The Rescue, Part 3
I finally got the final part of the Rescue edited and ready to post! This is the third and final part of the series on how Danny and Nate got out of the cabin in Canada. Please read The Rescue, Part One and The Rescue, Part Two for context and to maybe have a refresh! 
CW: STRONG dissociation (it’s a main theme of this piece and is vividly described), references to noncon and torture. Muzzling. 
@whump-it, @finder-of-rings, @bleeding-demon-teeth, @spiffythespook, @burtlederp, @whumpywhumper, @18-toe-beans, @pumpkinthefangirl, @special-spicy-chicken, @whale-whumps, @swordkallya
The Rescue Part One || The Rescue Part Two
Nate Vandrum had a plan, but it took him most of a month after the day he was allowed to bring Danny back up from the dog kennel in the cellar to figure out where Bram hid the drugs.
Once he found them - in a small wooden box under a loose floorboard in the back of the bedroom closet, a place Nate and Danny never went because it was where Bram kept all his things that caused pain or worse - he began to pinch, just a little at a time, from each little bottle or bag.
Ketamine, ecstasy, rohypnol - this and that, the things Bram used sometimes when he wanted Danny to be fucked up and foggy for days, or affectionate and touchy, or just to knock him out. He didn’t use them any longer - Danny with the thing on his face day in and day out was obedient and blank-faced, an empty body that breathed and ate and moved in the bed, did as it was told and nothing more.
Danny was someone else, twenty-four hours a day, and Nate had waited too long trying to find the courage to save him but he wasn’t going to wait much longer. It was already becoming clearer every day that he was running out of time entirely before Danny was gone and didn’t come back.
By mid-November, the leaves had long since changed and fallen off the trees - the ground already hard and frozen - and he had all of it he would need. A mix of powder and crushed-up pills, every fucking drug Bram kept here. Not enough missing from any one stash that it would be obvious, but hopefully enough to buy Nate some time.
He has a plan. He would wait until mid-December, and he had one month to have everything ready.
He had his own hiding places, spots Bram didn’t know about because Nate had never had anything really worthwhile to hide. Danny never spoke any longer so he couldn’t tell on him - and Bram couldn’t see everything, could he?
Sometimes, Nate thought he could read minds. This time, Bram never showed a single sign that he knew Nate was up to anything at all.
After midnight, Nate would sneak out, put on a movie like in the days before. He moved Danny onto the couch where he would stare, blank-eyed, at a screen he didn't ever seem to really see. Sometimes he sat with him, rubbing at the places where the thing hurt the most, trying to calm the pain in his jaw for as long as he could.
Every time he touched along the edge of the muzzle, Danny would lean hard into the touch, using the pressure of Nate’s thumbs to soothe himself, all with those empty eyes, with all the core of Danny absent and only the body left behind. This Danny did not feel pain or fear unless he was actively being hurt. This Danny only sat where he was placed, cooked meals, made drinks - all of it with nothing behind his eyes.
With each passing week, that initial burst of rage on Danny's behalf cooled in Nate, set and hardened into a hatred that overrode every ounce of love Bram had forced him to feel. 
What had been a forest fire became coal. What had been coal became a diamond
Bram could not see it.
Nate wanted Danny back, and watching him drift like a ghost doing whatever he was told had eaten away at him, day by day, until all that was left was the determination to get him the fuck out of here.
The mix of drugs, a handwritten note with all the directions he could remember Bram turning when he drive into town (left, straight for a long time - counted to 200 at least three times, turn right, more straight, turn left after counting to 75, left again after count to 50), a match here and there - Nate squirreled it all away, bit by bit, in the bookshelf behind his collection of leather bound Tolkein - a gift from Bram after one supply run, one of the most wonderful things the monster had ever given him. He didn’t dare to hollow anything out - he loved these books, that felt like sacrilege - but he slid little things here and there behind them, his black-handled knife with the silver stag engraving down into the loosening spine of the Silmarillion, and if he was careful, no one saw him but Danny.
Danny, still trapped in silence inside his own head, didn’t even seem to notice, not even when he was staring directly at him as he did it. He knelt on his mat, quiet and dazed, his eyes following Nate’s movements with a total absence of comprehension.
It was the eyes that drove Nate on, those empty fucking eyes. Bram never took the fucking thing off, and Danny - funny and sarcastic and kind of sweet Danny, who he'd taught four kinds of dance by now and who could do all the lines to Casablanca and who sometimes hummed music he remembered while he scrubbed the floors - never came back.
Even Red, nervous and eager-to-please and always trying harder, trying to be so good, didn’t come back. Watching a muzzled Danny move was like witnessing a walking corpse searching for a grave to fall into, simply waiting for permission to decay.
In October and November the leaves went bright and brilliant and then fell just as rapidly, the nights cooled and then shifted to icy winter, and Bram spent his days outside preparing for the snows that would all but shut them in here until spring. He knew something was different, he had to, but Nate smiled and stuttered said I love you and was everything he wanted in bed and did everything just right to hide the chorus of I'm going to save him, you fucking bastard that sang inside his head.
Nate took his chances when he had them, and he was careful. He asked for a book he remembered, and Bram brought it back to him and never even looked through it.
Which was good, since it was a book with a very detailed description on how to hotwire a car.
Although in the end he didn't expect to need that, Nate wanted a backup plan. You always had to have a backup plan. Bram had said it all the time -and Nate had learned every lesson either Bram or Ashley had to teach.
He knew how to steal, and kill, and bury the bodies, and he knew how to be a fucking monster, too, now.
Once he had everything, he waited until Abraham needed to use some old machinery and came back from a supply run with an extra four full canisters of gasoline more than he usually kept on-hand for trips to town.
He only needed one to fill the tank for the truck, just to get them to the nearest town with a police station.
The other three…
Well.
Nate settled in to wait. He was the perfect black-haired prince, Abraham Denner’s true love. He was everything Bram could ever have wanted him to be. And while he was all of those things, he watched the actual man he loved kneel, empty and broken, on the floor and eat scraps from Bram’s hands... and he planned a murder.
***
“I came back awake when he was ready to go,” Danny told Ryan, one night when he couldn't sleep. They were sitting at the kitchen table - Ryan had asked him to sit in a chair - and Danny let his fingertips trace a pattern in the woodgrain, little squiggly symbols that could have meant anything, or nothing, or everything.
Nate was still asleep, and part of Danny wanted to curl up on the floor and be there with him, maybe ask to earn the bed so he could sleep right next to Nate, but he didn't have to do that anymore - and when he asked to earn the bed, the sadness in Nate’s eyes hurt to see.
I'll sleep on the couch, Nate said almost every night, and every night Danny said, no, stay with me.
Nate stayed.
“What do you mean?” Ryan tilted his head, watching him with the soft honey eyes Danny had never forgotten, never stopped dreaming about. Here, and real now, and Danny always smiled a little bit every morning when he got to see Ryan again.
“When Nate got me into the truck, he took, uh, he took it off,” Danny said, rubbing at the bridge of his nose absently, soothing a phantom pain there. “He took it off my face. The first thing I remember is turning to look and he was throwing it into the cabin and the cabin was on fire.”
“On fire? The cabin was on fire when you woke up?” Ryan's eyes were wide.
“Yes. Before that, I was, um… I was gone, still.”
Someone else had been in the body for months. It wasn’t Danny - it was some distant thing that moved his limbs and ate the food it was given, but it wasn’t Danny in there. It wasn’t Danny in control the night that Nate set a fire.
No, someone else had knelt like a good dog with its head in Abraham’s lap, took scraps of food straight from his fingers with the muzzle off just long enough for dinner - not quite long enough for Danny to try and come back. Someone else had taken the constant movement of cold hands with grateful whines and whimpers for the affection.
Someone else stayed kneeling, not noticing its feet going steadily numb, as the two voices that made up its entire world chatted and talked. There were sounds, in the bedroom, while someone else sat on the mat and thought about nothing at all.
Then there was, for a while, silence.
Someone else heard the sounds of scraping and rustling and thumping and ignored them. Sounds meant nothing to dead bodies and that's all it was, now. A dead body that still, inexplicably, kept breathing and eating and hurting on command.
This other person, wearing Danny’s face behind the muzzle, stayed still as one of the others walked back and forth, pulling things from bookshelves and talking to himself. Someone else was very, very good and had been told to go to the mat, and so someone else stayed there.
Someone else tried very, very hard, and was very, very good and did not notice the heavy scrape of a sleeping body dragged outside, the thunk of the cellar doors pulled open. The time that passed as someone else sat alone in the cabin.
Danny Michaelson was far, far away, letting the other person live uncomplainingly without a voice while within himself, he never stopped screaming.
Someone else registered, as though through a distant fog, a voice that told them it was almost time to go. That someone else stared dumbly down at their ankle as hands unlocked the chain that tied the body to the wall - the body was chained again, because otherwise someone else would get up and walk around sometimes at night and it bothered Abraham to see it - and someone else thought, I will be ordered into the bed now.
That person raised hands to touch the hips of the one who would hurt them, only to have their hands gently pushed down and away, cupped their face around the muzzle, pressed it just a little at the jaw where it felt so good, it felt so soothing, and someone else closed their eyes and whined, deep in their throat.
"H-Hate that sound. We'll g-g-g-get the last b-bit off later," A deep voice said.
Someone else knew the voice, and moved towards its sound instinctively. The deep voice came with soothing touch, gentle words, no pain. Someone else wanted more of that voice. "We n-n-n-need help to g, to get the ankle cuff off. Th-the cops will help, I'm s-sure. Good th-th-thing it's been raining all month so the forest w-w-won't burn, too.”
Someone else did not care about the forest, but only about the hands attached to the soft voice, the good voice, the voice that did not hurt. The warm forehead that pressed lightly to its own. The thing that wore Danny’s face tried to put their hands up to the metal grid still locked in place and stopped, an inch away. Never touch the fucking muzzle, Red.
Someone else made a pleading sound, someone else begged without words in an animal's whine, take it off, I'll be good now, please take it off.
"Ssshhhhh, once we get out of there," The good deep voice said, and it didn't stammer at all. "The k-key to the lock on the b-b-back is in his truck. I've g-got you now, just trust me, okay?" The voice wasn't afraid, and it seemed like a good voice. It was his favorite voice.
Someone else relaxed.
It trusted the voice.
***
“I don't understand what any of that means,” Ryan frowned, putting his hands up over his face, as Danny tried to talk his way through it. “You were there, the someone else was you. Why do you keep saying it like that?”
He only shook his head. “Dr. Rosa calls it dissociation,” he said. “It's normal. She says it's normal, that- that I'm not… I'm not broken because of it, and it could take a long time to stop-”
“It's okay,” Ryan said, and reached out to grab his hand. Danny's skin still crawled at any touch he hadn't asked for, but he didn’t pull away. It seemed to make Ryan feel better, anyway. It made Danny feel disgusting, like a thing anyone could touch whenever they wanted. You can make my body do whatever you want. “You're okay. I'm sorry, I pushed when I didn't mean to. Keep talking. I want to know everything.”
Danny nodded, slowly, and took a deep breath.
***
Someone else had taken the offered hand and stood, walked with a slow, stumbling gait through the kitchen and out the door. Someone else shivered in the frigid air, until the owner of the voice slid a heavy woolen coat over their shoulders, clad only in a thin, torn-up T-shirt and even thinner pajama pants.
“S-Sorry, I forgot to g-grab a sweater, and it’s k-k-kind too late, now.”
Someone else wrinkled their nose at the smell of gasoline, overpowering and heavy, that filled the air and floated around, settled deep in their lungs. Someone else was led to Abraham's truck and put inside. Someone else listened to sounds they did not recognize. Someone else smelled the smoke.
Red hair, already long and shaggy because it was winter and Abraham liked his hair better long in winter, fell over empty blue eyes as someone else curled up against the early shivers that came with the frigid cold, pulled the wool coat more tightly around themselves, buried their body in it as best they could.
Someone else heard the driver side door open and close.
Green eyes met theirs, and someone else blinked, and for one moment Danny looked up at Nate and the strange, stricken expression on his face. Eyes wide, and his hair was mussed-up and messy, and he was wearing his sweater inside-out. He smelled like gasoline, too. Then Danny tried to speak, and felt the harsh bite of the muzzle cutting deeply into his jaw, and Danny slipped back away.
Someone else thought, puppies aren’t allowed in the truck. Puppies don’t go to town.
"I d-d-did it," Nate said softly, his voice shaking.
Did what?
Someone else had been dimly aware of a hand sliding around behind their head, the click of the key in the lock and the thump as the little lock dropped onto the floorboards.
Danny’s heart jumped at the sound of the lock falling. Someone else felt less, as Danny felt more.
Warm, loving hands were undoing the buckle that was always too tight. He felt the sudden lift of the pressure and pain that had become all he ever felt anymore, winced at the sting of fresh air against skin, the trickle of fresh blood as removing the muzzle pulled wounds back open that had been trying like hell to heal around it.
He watched - Danny watched - as Nate got back out of the truck, holding the muzzle by the straps in his good hand, his jaw set in a grim line.
The cabin was on fire.
Flames licked orange somewhere inside the living room, and Danny could see straight through the kitchen door to where the fire was racing along the lines of gasoline that had been splashed around. Smoke poured upwards into the sky, the opposite of the rainstorms Danny had been locked out in so many times. The big doors to the cellar were flung open, and Danny looked carefully away from the darkness there and back at the brightly shifting, dancing light that lit the clearing with a sickly glow.
He watched Nate walk with purpose close enough that he must feel the heat trying to push him back and throw the metal and leather muzzle as hard as he could through the open kitchen door, where it thumped to the ground and then skidded along to a spot where the flames lit the inside of the cabin so brightly Danny’s eyes couldn’t bear to look.
The muzzle was gone.
Danny went away again. He didn’t know for how long. He came back to someone shaking him. He heard Nate’s voice, low and worried, soft against his ear. He was whispering, "Pl-please, please, I wasn’t too late, I w-w-wasn’t, please, please come b-back to me, D-Danny, please…”
He remembered shaking his head, still far away, because it had hurt to come back, he didn't want to any longer. His jaw throbbed, his nose ached, there were spots across his body that lit up with new pains when Danny stepped back up to feel them. Then Nate's hand slid up around his jaw, cool fingers over the cuts that burned hot, and Nate's mouth was on his, and Danny… felt.
Warm, and soft and desperate, tasting lightly of the whiskey they’d been drinking, he and Abraham. Danny opened his mouth for Nate, because that was what you did - but it wasn't like before, this was different, and he closed his eyes, hesitantly kissing back.
"Oh th-th-thank Christ. W-Wake up," Nate begged, in a voice ragged and hoarse and half-gone from breathing in the smoke. "Pl-please, please wake up, there h-has to be something l-left of you to s-s-save, Red, please, please t-t-tell me I wasn’t too late, pl-please..."
"W-we're not allowed in the truck without Abraham," Danny said hoarsely, his disused voice like gravel in a sore throat. Freed from the metal grid, his skin ached. Burned and bled in the cold air. "You'll get in trouble."
Nate laughed, a half-crazed sound of relief, and turned with wide, white-rimmed green eyes to start up the truck. "F-fuck trouble, Danny.  I got you out, I did it, we did it."
"You're not allowed to touch the keys," Danny said, almost plaintively, but it was sinking in, and his eyes were starting to widen. "Wh-where's Abraham? He's, Nate- he's going to be so mad when he finds us in the truck-"
"He w-w-won't care about th-that now," Nate said, voice firm and steady. "He d-d-doesn't give a shit about anything right now, Red. I hope he fucking chokes on his g-g-goddamn lying t-t-tongue.”
Nate shifted gears, and the truck roared to life as they jerked forwards and began to move down the gravel-lined dirt tracks through the woods.
“I'm getting us the f-f-fuck out of h, here."
***
“Where was Abraham? What happened?” Ryan had let go of his hand but Danny still felt the touch like spiderlegs and he pulled his hand back to himself, looking down at the tracks of scars along his veins, swallowing against the panic that threatened around the edges of his mind when people touched him.
“Nate gave him ketamine,” Danny said, and felt himself starting, slowly, to smile at the thought. “And some, um, some other stuff. “Got him too high to move and chained him to a bar Abraham had in the ceiling for-... for me, and left him to, um… to die.”
“Chained him…?”
“Handcuff Year.” Ryan winced, the memory of that conversation its own special torture. That first Christmas, Nate staring with an awful, resigned look of familiarity at the leather and metal cuffs in the box Danny had opened. “Nate found them and he… he tied Abraham up in the cellar with them to die.”
“But he didn't die. He's, he's on trial.”
“No, he didn’t. He was still… still alive when they found him, not even burned. Just smoke inhalation.”
Ryan whistled. “Lucky son of a bitch.”
“Blessed,” Danny corrected nervously, and watched Ryan's answering blank stare with a spike of guilt for not being better already. “His, um, he served a, a god, he said. We were blessed he loved us.”
“He was a fucking lunatic if he told you that bullshit. He didn't love you.”
“No.” Danny frowned down at the table. “You're right. Not me. He loved Nate.” And Nate had loved him back, right up until he didn't any longer.
Right up until he had to choose between them.
***
Danny and Nate drove away in the truck, and Danny saw the woods around him for the first time in months.
Had they always been so pretty? All the leaves were gone by now, bare branches everywhere reaching fingerlike towards them across the dirt path to the real road. There had been snow, but it had mostly melted with some sunny days while someone else sat outside in the thin, weak sunlight soaking up whatever it had to give, muzzled face tilted up to catch the warmth.
"Do you, um, know where we're going?" He asked, and hissed as his face hurt, his jaw too long held shut to keep speaking so easily again. His voice still sounded so weird, like he wasn’t meant to have one, and he barely managed to speak above a whisper.
"No," Nate said, and shrugged. "Other than we t-turn left and then there are s-s-signs. We'll find c-cops when we get to town."
He drove with one hand and reached the other out. Danny took it, and it was something solid, and real, something that anchored him to this side of his head and not the side that just went away.
Behind them, the cabin burned, a pretty orange glow against the pitch-black night sky.
When they made it to the road, Nate sat for a second, letting the truck's engine rumble as he and Danny looked at real, honest to God pavement.
Danny hadn't seen a road in four years.
"Red."
He turned, and Nate was looking at him, intensity in his face. Danny shrank away from it - expressions like that never boded well. "What?"
"N-No one's g-g-going to do th-that to you eh, ever again. Ever. Again. G-Got it?"
Danny nodded, slowly, but he wasn't sure he believed it yet. Not until Nate smiled, slow and a little shy, the way he used to smile before Abraham brought them here, and kissed one of the scars on the back of his hand.
"H-Here we go," Nate said, and turned the truck onto the road, the two of them driving away from the burning cabin to find a town, a police station, and hope.
***
“So by the time we got to town and the cops went back, everything burned down, but they found Abraham in the cellar, still alive. They found, uh, a lot of the… the things he used on us, too. They found the… for my face.” Danny shuddered, a little, phantom aches breaking out like a line of fire along the scars. “The leather burned a little but the metal part…”
“You don't have to talk about that. What about the bird?”
Danny blinked at Ryan's question.
“The bird?”
“The, the raven thing up on the wall. That you threw the beer bottle at. What happened to it? Did it burn?”
“No. Yes. Maybe.” Danny's heart skipped, just thinking of its pink eyes and empty dead glare, the way it seemed like it was always staring at him from its perch above the doorframe. “Nate said it wasn't in the house. The cops s-said they never found any sign of it, either.”
Sometimes he was sure he'd look out his window and see it staring back in at him, with that look in its eyes, waiting for him to go somewhere - anywhere - alone. Which was why Danny never did. He stayed with Ryan, or Nate, and he never, ever was alone.
On the worst Red days, Danny tried to come up with a plan for what he would do if Abraham came for him - even though Nate and Ryan told him nobody walks out of a maximum security prison.
It didn’t really matter.
Abraham would come back for him, eventually, and even if Danny didn’t want to think about it, Red knew.
Danny kept a notebook in the closet, and he wrote down everything he could think of, and he tried to make a plan for just in case, because he had been someone else for nearly half a year and he never, ever wanted to be someone else again.
When he was scared, at night, he curled into a ball next to Nate in the bed and he closed his eyes and dreamed about the rumble of the truck, Nate’s warm hand grasped so tightly onto his - the softness and ferocity in the kiss that brought him back to life…
And he dreamed of a cabin on fire.
