A/N: I was imagining this scenario last night but it’s too short to turn into a full fic, so here’s a drabble.

Danny was having a meeting with Pandora and Fright Knight over the state of things in the Realms. And he was getting antsy; Pandora and Fright kept giving each other a look that Danny knew spelled trouble for him.

Finally, Fright Knight spoke, “My King…”

“Yeah, what’s up?” Danny said warily.

“Now that your kingdom is firmly established, we Ancients are of the mind that you should really consider who you desire to take as your consort.”

“My what? A consort? Why do I have to do that?!”

“It is tradition that all High Rulers take a consort,” Pandora said.

“Why?”

“Many reasons: stability, support, companionship, potential to produce an heir should they be ended before their time,” Fright Knight said.

“Surely Clockwork, as your guardian, has gone over this at some point?” Pandora said, raising an eyebrow.

“No, they never mentioned it. And you say it’s traditional, but Pariah Dark didn’t have a consort, so why do I have to take one?”

Fright Knight and Pandora shared a deadpan look that had Danny rubbing the back of his neck nervously. Clockwork had definitely neglected to tell him something important again.

Pandora rose from her seat and started drawing her sword. “I’m gonna end them.”

Fright Knight put a gloved hand on her hand that was drawing the sword. “Let’s not be hasty. Put yourself in their situation—I’m sure you can imagine how embarrassing that matter would be to explain to your ward.”

“What are you guys talking about? What did they not tell me?” Danny asked, dread pooling the pit of his stomach.

“Clockwork was King Dark’s consort,” Fright Knight said, expression slightly pained.

“What?!” Danny shrieked.

this is a brilliant description on it's own, but @madamescarlette 's tags??????? they have slayed me??????

#faith has just dragged her hands across her face and gotten up off the bathroom floor#charity has just taken deep breaths after sending something serious but necessary#hope has had her face on the steering wheel of her parked car for the past ten minutes#and finally stands up to go in even though it's hard

Mr Lancer: I need your mother or father to sign this.

Danny: You're gonna have to be specific, I have like 8 of each.

Mr Lancer: ...

Danny: Either I'm collecting them or they're collecting me. Either way depending on what you want signed it could be any of them you need.

Mr Lancer: It's ... For an excursion?

Danny: Do you know how little that narrows it down?

Mr Lancer: To the Greek exhibition in the natural history museum.

Danny: Ah, Pandora or Clockwork then, gotchya.

And that day Mr Lancer learnt that several ghosts are legally down as Danny's guardians alongside his parents and Jack and Maddie seem blissfully unaware. Jazz is also listed as a guardian in case of emergency.

Actually Johnny is for skipping because he'll act like he's gonna tell Danny off but then they just go get ice-cream.

Clockwork is for late assignments and missing out on events often rearranging time just for Danny's sake.

Frostbite is the one to contact if Danny needs emotional support because he's the one who is able to handle it without crying or trying to alter a timeline.

Wulf is more like an older brother but he is like a big fuzzy body guard and can be asked to chaperone. No one is ever late when he carpools and no one ends up lost in time like that one time they asked Clockwork... Poor Kevin...

Skulker does get called in for fights about two to three times before teachers realise he isn't the best person to contact. Rather than discouraging violence Skulker just tells Danny how he could have done it better. They call him about camping trips now.

Walker becomes the one they call for fights because Walker discourages violence. But Unbeknownst to teachers he just teaches Danny how to use the law to his advantage and that ... Might not be better?

Boxy just makes sure everything Danny needs is always available. He leaves boxes of supplies with the front office.

Pandora deals in history assignments, emotional support if Danny needs to rampage and generally just Mom stuff like bake sales if the cakes shouldn't come to life.

Kitty and Ember tag team handle anything to do with bullying because those girls can tear down a mean kid to the core in seconds. Ember also is the one to show up for music related events. Kitty just sorta makes sure Danny doesn't make any major fashion blunders like his crocs and socks fiasco that one time none of the ghosts will acknowledge, not even Danny.

Dorathea mostly acts as moral support, a second chaperone and she signs anything to do with balls or parties, making sure Danny is allowed to go. These are the events she likes to chaperone but usually Danny just convinces everyone to just have Dorathea be part of the event. She's won Queen of the Dance at multiple events.

Lunch Lady handles catering and Danny's lunch, though she treats Danny more like a grandchild than a direct child.

Desiree loves getting involved in theatre and often designs the outfits for plays to be historically accurate, with some help from Clockwork. The theatre kids love Danny even though he doesn't often participate, because Desiree always sets them up with awesome clothes and props.

Okay but where's the fic??

oh jeez, oh no, uhhh, I can't possibly take on a second long for wip

Okay okay CONSIDER: this all occurs like. Immediately post reveal, which is why no one really questions why Danny's entire rouges gallery has adopted him.

Illegally smol Pandora

Pieces of Time

Chapter one

Prompt fill for @sylph-feather:

Maybe Danny tries to investigate a ghost character’s previous life… what does he find? Who is it? Why is he doing it? These aren’t questions i personally have answers to buuut have fun

Danny sighed and dropped his pencil on top of his admittedly large and unfortunately unfinished pile of history homework. 

He looked around, Clockwork’s tower was as dangerous and steampunk looking as he remembered it. The gears that littered the walls and floors all seemed to groan and grind as they moved in sync to the sound of ticking clocks that echoed around them. 

It was oddly comforting, the loud but unobtrusive sounds helped Danny to concentrate more often than not, and if he got too restless, Clockwork always had something interesting he could look at or some random errand he could try and help complete. 

Like right now, “Clockwork,” Danny called out, the static in his head irritating and making it impossible to think, “I can’t do this anymore.”
