my piece for the @dpxdcbigbang for @raaorqtpbpdy's amazing fic Harrowing Holidays! they're so good at fleshing out the characters and their emotions--defo go give it a read if you're a fan of dead on main ^^
After a few months of dating, Danny invites Jason to Amity Park for Fenton Thanksgiving—both Danny & Jason have convinced themselves, despite all evidence to the contrary, that the other is their normal civilian boyfriend, and don't want to mess things up by revealing their secrets.
Rewatched Ultimate Enemy and really delved deep into the idea of Vlad doing his best to comfort Danny after he moved in, but despite all his efforts, Danny still begs him to rip out his humanity. In the end, Vlad is left to grieve the loss of Maddy and Jack, and has to live with the memory of watching Danny’s human half die because of his mistake.
It didn’t matter if he was Fenton or Phantom, Danny’s pain was always the same, and there was no real remedy that Vlad could provide. They were both desperate and foolish.
AHHHH!!!! Thank you so much!!! This is absolutely phenomenal and I can't begin to express how happy I am that you're enjoying cetbwa 🥰❤️ thank you, it is absolutely gorgeous!!!

Suddenly Bubbling Posthumous
All of these are gold but the first one is so fucking juicy, the mouth-feel of it is so delectable and I am incapable of choosing anything else, so here we go!
Danny Phantom, No One Knows AU, Sam's POV (tw blood) --- Here's what I'm thinking...
Danny's dead.
Everyone at school knows it. No one says anything, of course—or, at least, not where he can hear it.
People go quiet when he passes (hah), watching, staring, waiting for him to turn the corner before they erupt into furious whispers.
Danny's dead. Killed in his parent's lab. It was an accident, they say, he's lucky to be alive.
No one really believes it. They all know the truth.
That is, until a month or so into the semester when actual ghosts start attacking and people realise there's no way normal, average, so-scared-of-ghosts-he-disappears-at-the-mere-mention-of-an-attack Daniel Fenton can be anything like them. So they all move on (double hah) with their lives.
It becomes one of those school yard urban legends, you know the ones - the old principal was fired for hitting a student, Lancer rides a motorbike, the quiet guy in the back of class is a ghost. A joke that no one really believes.
But as she's always said, people are idiots—and while Sam may be a lot of things, she likes to think an idiot isn’t one of them. There's just too many things off with Fenton and yeah, ghosts might be mainstream now, but a living dead boy that has skin that burns like ice and a heartbeat that's far too slow to be normal has to be the most goth thing she can think of.
She measured it once you know, gritting her teeth against the cold bite of his skin.
They were partners that day. Tetslaff had them all record their heart rates before and after exercise and she got chewed out for not taking it seriously when she... politely expressed her concern over Danny’s readings. She took it right, she knows she did. Sure, she might have been swearing about it, but she maintains the detention was unwarranted.
Danny said nothing throughout the whole thing. Just shrugged his shoulders and rubbed the back of his neck in that nervous way he always does when people look too closely at him.
So she does the reasonable thing and decides to set up a trap.
Tucker tries to stop her, of course he does, but you can't stop Sam Manson when she's made up her mind. It's probably the one thing she's glad she inherited from her parents—but so help her, she will throw hands with anyone that says it.
Proving Danny Fenton is a ghost is easier said than done.
The summoning she pulls off the Internet is a dud and Tucker tries his best to convince her it's because Danny isn't dead and there's nothing to summon, but really, how could they expect the first thing they find off of a wannabe witch's ten year-old blog post to be legit? The animated crows should have given it away, really. She blames herself.
