DeadSerious Soulmate Prompt:

The DC Universes soulmates are ones that feel each other's pain. Damian's soulmate is clumsy, as he sometimes gets the occasional bruises and scratches out of nowhere. He strives to be the best at combat as to not hurt his soulmate, but being raised by assassin's proves to be difficult.

The DP Universes soulmates can write words on their skin that'll appear on their soulmate. Danny has written and written to his soulmate many times, and has only gotten a little over a handful of responses back. He knows his soulmate is a boy, his name is Damian and that he likes art and animals.

Neither are aware that their soulmate is from another universe.

Ohhhhhhhhh the misunderstandings! Danny thinking his soulmate doesn’t want him while Damian is panicking after Danny’s lab accident because what the fuck? Why is he suddenly being electrocuted, stabbed and burned every single day? Damian assumes that his soulmate is being tortured.

Damian can directly assume that his soul mate was captured by his grandfather who tortures him so that Damian breaks his bond with him and "loses his weak point".

Ra's could have already pushed Talia to break her own soul bond in the past

hooo Don't forget either that Damian died several times! Danny must be so confused too

Short DPXDC Prompts #933

Danny is a sort of Disney princess with animals. Not alive ones though, they hate him. The ghost animals of Gotham City absolutely adore him. Harley Quinn watches from her window as a teenager with a glowing raccoon on one shoulder, a tiny scraggly kitten on the other, and a half dozen glowing green rats trailing behind him, just walks past her apartment.

Oh, ho-ho! Damian will be after him in a flash!

First: How dare he exploit these poor animals!?

Second (after actually assessing the situation): He loves these strange meta-animals and they clearly love him! Maybe I COULD have a younger sibling...

Too late Damian. Harley and Ivy have already adopted him. You'll have to marry him if you want him in the family.

Meanwhile Danny? Has been causing chaos with his new Moms. He's having the best time! He got to make a villain persona? With a costume and everything? Nice! New moms let Danny cause problems??? Hell yeah!

Damian takes that in stride. If father can have relations with different rogues(looking at you Talia, Selina, and Harvey), then so can he.

He starts looking into Danny to try and find the best way to woo him.

Probably leaves him like, really high quality telescope or storage pictures and maybe even managed to get him a moon rock from a mission there.

Just trying his best.

He liked it so he wants to put a ring on it, as the song Tim listens to says.

When Bruce heard that Harley had a new side kick he did not know what to expect.

One thing he certainly didn’t expect was a teenager wearing a dog ear headband going by “Hyena” who commanded an army of random glowing green animals.

He was also not expecting for Damian to declare Hyena his beloved.

One thing he did expect was for his other children to blame him for Damian’s taste in partners.

Damian: We shall have a spring wedding!!

Tim: Ah... B did you have to give him your taste in partners?

Dick:... Down to the leather outfit and animal ears...

What if Danny responded to Robin's (very good) gift with a new mad science gadget?

Dick: little D, where did you find this?

Damian: I didn't find it

Tim: Damian let me at least take a look, it might be dangerous

Damian, it's dangerous, but not for me

Bruce: …

Damian: ….

staring contest in progress

Jason: old man I - sees the exchange of intense looks - I'm going to ask the replacement that

Steph who “understood”: it’s cute~

Cass, who is the one who really understood and told Steph: nods and hands over the popcorn

Later that night they get to see what Damian meant by dangerpus, but not for him. The tiny, seriously tiny, spheres were thrown after a fleeing gang member. And unfolded into an electrified net. That apparently only Damian himself could turn off....

Tim: How?!?!?? There's no way these wires should be able to do that!

Damian: Tt. Just because you cannot make such a tool does not disqualify others from doing so!

Jason: Holy shit! Can you get me in touch with your supplier? I am willing to pay for a set of those!

Damian: I shall ask them. This set was a gift after all. Made for me specifically. They may have other ideas for you.

-------

Harley: You made me a proper hammer space!!!! You absolute mad lad! How much can I got in this????

Pam: Hmm. I enjoy the way you created a full set of clean energy generators. And the new hydroponics system dear.

Danny: No problem! And! It can fit anything up to 4 square metres!

YES, ALL OF THE YES!

Damian- I'll only ask them once you admit my beloved is better

Batfam- your beloved 🫨

Damian- yes this was a courting gift they have accepted my pursuit of them and have responded in kind

After much badgering Damian finally allows his siblings to meet Danny in costume. Danny of course is happy to meet them. He knows how much his Starlight cares for them. As oddly as he may show it! So they all meet in a safe house. Danny is already there, in full costume. Yes he even has the muzzle on. Shaped like a hyena snout. His shirt while heavily protective? Still has a pattern on it. 'Careful, I bite' (Danny finds it funny. Harley can't disagree.) It's usually hidden under the reinforced leather jacket. This is the first time the batsibs have seen him without it. Dick and Steph? Are about to cry from laughing. Danny just sits cuddled up to Damian radiating smug glee.

Danny: So! Starlight says you want my designs? As well as, presumably to do the whole shovel talk thing?

Jason: Nah. Only Big Wing cares about that second part. I want mad science gadgets. And I'm willin to pay.

Tim: I need to know how they work! Robin won't let me touch them!

Damian: It was a courting gift from my beloved! Which I have no guarantee you can put back together correctly! I will not allow you to damage it!

Danny cuddled Damian more. While running a hand through his hair. Damian is just say there basking in the affection. Much to the surprise of his siblings. Holy shit. Hyena must be the one.

Danny: I will always make more for you Starlight! But I understand why you won't let your brother touch them. Sure. I'm happy to set up a meeting to discuss the design and price! Mama Harls set me up with a workshop! Plant Momma helps me scavenge the local area for useable parts. Recycling yay!

Steph: So! How'd they find you anyway?

Danny: Oh you know. Had to run away from home for my own safety. Mama Harls saw me with my friends. She was curious and brought out her best boys for a playdate. It just kinda went from there!

Jason: How's that going? I know the clown can be.... An issue for them.

Danny: Oh. You guys don't know yet! Starlight! You didn't tell them?

Damian:.... No beloved, I did not.

Jason: Explain.

Danny: I broke all his bones. He's currently in a body cast? And I made sure to break em bad enough they'll never heal right!

Jason: I approve demon brat. He makes great toys. And he ducked up the clown.

Steph: Wait..... Is that the John Doe in the hospital? How did they not know it's him?

Danny:.... Might have shaved all his hair off. And his face IS one big bruise. I'm sure they'll figure it out once they run his prints or whatever.

Tim: ..... No one tells B. Also, Can I please visit your workshop and swap tips?!?!?!

Danny: Sure. May as well get to know my future in laws!

Cass: Sparring?

Danny has a muzzle?! I need a moment where hes fighting with the bats, maybe in a more remote area, and has to use his wail.

Just like, they all get cornered.

His moms' or Damian give a nod of permission or "go ahead"

Danny steps forward, slides off the muzzle, and unleashes his devastating wail.

Shocked and or awed Batfam

Even better if it's made clear that was a WEAK wail. And

Pam: Level 1 sapling!

Danny *massive concussive force, pushes all the enemies back/knocks them out*

Harley: Great control baby! Yer doing much better!

Btman:... Level 1?

Damian: If my beloved used that ability to its fullest potential.... Well, the next few kilometres would be subject to damage.

Damian: if you ever need to change the geography call danny

Batman is silently having conniptions. Their new rogue is dangerous Damian! Very dangerous! Why him? Did you choose him to torment me? Is that what this is? His sonic attack is stronger than Black Canarys! He needs a sit down. A break. A night where none of his kids give him a damn heart attack!!!!

Hood.... Hood what are you holding? Tell me you didn't get Hyena to make you that. RR... Where are you going? What do you mean it's science time? We have perfectly good workshops at home! Why do all his kids like Hyena so much!!! (He fully understands. If Hyena had been around when he first started? He likely would have befriended him.)

But his baby! His youngest! Is saying he wants to marry him!!! No! Absolutely not! Not any time soon anyway! And Harley is no help. She keep encouraging the boys! She's a menace! Oh no.... Harley is going to be his in law.... Selina will be delighted.

It’s then that Bruce remembers Jon

It was no secret that Jon had a crush on Damian. At least not after Clark publicly blamed him for his little boy growing up, something about Damian inheriting Bruce’s bat like charms.

All Bruce had to do was inject Jon into the paradigm and hope that he disrupts their relationship enough for the two of them to break up.

The worst thing that could happen is that Bruce ends up being Clark’s in law….

Well it’s better than being Harley’s in law.

the only positive point is that harley has certain medical ethics and as a family member can no longer apply as their therapist, not that she won't continue to tell them that he should consult someone

lmao this is very sweet but all i can see is

Danny: *displays justice AND violence*

Damian: he is  w o r t h y

After returning home Damian had considered the incident closely. And the feelings it had inspired. It did not take long to realise that he may have developed a level of infatuation.... Now he had to consider how to proceed. He briefly considered asking is siblings for advice. The idea was quickly discarded however. They would be insufferable. His Father would likely become overly concerned. And Alfred would counsel him to speak to Richard. Which was a terrible idea for many reasons.

That left Jon. Who had never engaged in a romantic pursuit. And seemed entirely unaffected by romantic affairs. Which led to his current situation. Hoping that the internet may have a good idea And hoping that Oracle wasn't checking his browser history. Why did he have to live in a family of nosy detectives?

I want to see Damian read shojo and imitate the tactics lut and give marks to the different work according to the feasibility of the plans and if it works or not (because if there are misses, it's the fault from the book, not him of course)

The idea of Damian sneaking around to buy shoujo manga to get ideas from is great. Especially as if his siblings find the books? They will likely think he is embarrassed to be reading something so cute. And therefore will be thrown off the scent of the truth.

I can only picture Damian trying to kabedon Danny and leaving both of them a blushy mess. As Damian is trying hard to find the words to request a date. And Danny? His brain goes offline entirely. As the very cute guy in his class is way too close! Oh fuck he can smell his hair! Ahhh!!! He is too bi for this!!!

that or trying to trip over him at a turn in the school hallways, apparently that's almost always the prelude to a cute scene. He hesitates for a long time to take a toast to put in his mouth, does it come up so often that it seems significant?

Danny had no idea what a meta was, but appearently he had something called a meta-gene. One would think a mutation that can cause people to manifest superpowers from lab accidents would explain his disastrous career as a superhero, but they would be wrong. Dannys meta gene was never activated and the whole ghost fiasco was just eldrich shenanigans at its finest.

No, Danny's meta gene activated just two weeks ago on his fifteenth birthday where he was celebrating at Sam's place with Tucker. They had gotten into one of thier usual fights about food and Danny just did not want to deal with it and went into another room.

Sams cat didn't love him per say but it usually didn't hate him either. Today was not his lucky day. The kitty scratched him and wouldn't you know? His meta gene wasn't activated by an interdimentional portal opening up on top of him, it wasn't activated by the numerous energy blasts he had been hit with nor the various electric shocks.

No, it was activated by a freaking cat scratch.

He stared at himself in the mirror, glowing green eyes with slit pupils stared back at him. His kitty ears were folded back to show his shock and displeasure over the situation but it was still rather obvious what they were. The tail wagging slowly behind him was the same snowy white as his hair and ears.

He looked like Phantom. He looked like Phanton as Fenton. Ancients. There was no way he was going to be able to hide this. Transforming brought about no change other than the hazmat suit. He was so screwed. He couldn't go home like this.

Breathing heavily and on the verge of a panic attack he called Jazz once, twice, three times, but she didn't pick up. Danny knew he couldn't stay in the human world, it was too dangerous.

But if he wasn't there to protect the ghosts than it would be too dangerous for them to stay too. He knew for a fact Dani was staying with Dora while she taught her how to read and write so he had pretty much no qualms about destroying the portals and outing Vlad through a pre-made video of him transforming and boasting about his crimes to Phantom, courtesy of Tucker and him filming it all.

He felt bad about ditching his friends one last time, and at his own birthday party no less! But he knew if he tried to say goodbye they would guilt him into staying and it would end horribly so he left a note explaining what happened and bounced.

Destroying the portals hadn't taken much time or effort nor did destroying over 20 years of research between the three. It was exploring the Ghost Zone that was giving him problems. He was always warned by Wulf not to open portals in the Ghost Zone unless you were very experienced cause if you screw up theres no telling when or where you will land. He thought back to Wulfs lessons and tried to conjure the image of lush wildlife and abundant food.

The place he ended up portaling to had neither of those things. In fact if felt like the opposite when he landed in a grimey alleyway in the dark of night.

A spotlight was pointed toward the sky, painting the clouds above in a yellow light holding a stylized image of a bat in the center. Danny wondered what that was about for only a minute before he heard the tell tale whoosh sound of someone landing in the alley behind him.

Dannys new instincts reacted before the logical part of his brain took hold causing him to whirl around with his ears flattened to his head and he hissed so furiously that the man with the red helmet (mask?) back up several paces while cursing furiously. The man also mentioned something about a "Pit" but Danny wasn't paying attention, he was scared out of his mind and bolted down the alleyways and out of sight before phasing into a dilapidated building and hiding under some rubble.

Later, Red Hood told Nightwing about the Lazarus Pit catboy demon and described it as nightmarish as possible before adding that it was kinda twinkish. He also added "for the love of God dickwing, don't let demon brat adopt that thing"

In Damians defence, he found Danny asleep next to Alfred the cat in Batcows barn and just decided he was thier new cat. In other news hes far more concerned with hiding Danny From Catwoman than from father.

Danny's hair has gotten considerably wilder since his ears popped up. He doesn't know what to do with it. Maybe Damian can help him cut it?

Hello, I would like to preface this by saying, 1- I’m not a writer, and 2- I don’t really know how to use Tumblr, but here we go anyways-

..

Damian Wayne walked along the path to the barn that was located on the Wayne Estate. Morning barn chores were a part of his daily responsibilities, and a condition of him keeping BatCow. It was an average Tuesday morning in early fall, a bit chilly, the leaves of the trees around Wayne manor would soon hit their peak of bright colors. Patrol the night before had been uneventful, it seemed only petty thieves and muggers wanted to commit crimes on a Monday night.

So if there was one thing Damian wasn’t expecting, it was to find a cat-boy curled up with Alfred the cat in the loft of the barn. 

Nestled in between the stacks of bales, was a boy that couldn’t have been younger than 14. He had fluffy white hair that stuck up in odd ways, likely due to the pair of tufted white cat ears that poked through the mess of hair.  A long and *very* fluffy white tail wrapped around his body and covered his hands, likely for warmth. He was wearing an absolutely filthy hoodie, covered in stains that definitely weren’t just barn dirt. Listening closely, Damian could hear purring, though he wasn’t sure if it was coming from Alfred, or the boy.

Despite the fact that Damian was moving near-silently as he cautiously approached, the boy’s ears twitched in his direction. Damian froze as the cat-boy abruptly woke up- snapping his head up and meeting Damian’s eyes.  The boy’s eyes were wide with fear they were bright yellow-green with slitted pupils. He scrambled up to his feet and away from Damian, displacing Alfred the cat in the process. 

Damian took another step forward and the cat boy hissed in warning, showing off sharp teeth, and taking a defensive stance.

Stepping back again, Damian raised his empty hands and spoke,

 “I am here to care for the animals, I will not harm you.”

The cat boy didn’t move, still very much on-guard, His very fluffy tail twitched behind him. It was honestly quite adorable.

“My name is Damian, do you have a name?” He asked, deciding to try to stepping forward again. 

The boy didn’t hiss this time, but he didn’t relax either. 

After a few moments where he seemed to have an internal debate, he finally spoke “Danny”

“Well Daniel, I have chores to do and cannot delay any longer. I will allow you to stay here provided you do not get in the way of my tasks.” Damian stated, motioning for Danny to get out of the way of the hay bales.

Danny made a face when Damian didn’t use his nickname, but did nod and stepped aside. 

Damian went about his barn chores as normal, albeit with an extra pair of eyes watching. When he had finished he addressed Danny again. 

“Have you eaten?”

Danny flinched a bit at his words, but shook his head no.

“Then I will return with something for you to eat.” 

With that, he returned to the Manor where Alfred had breakfast waiting. Only Duke was there eating already, since he also had to go to school. After quickly eating his meal, he crept into the kitchen to grab some food for Danny. Alfred wasn’t there, but the food he had prepared for the rest of the family was. He scooped some eggs and sausage into a container, hoping Danny would eat it. Cats were carnivores right? Even though Daniel was human, he probably isn’t vegetarian, Damian reasoned with himself. 

He had almost made it back out of the Manor when Damian ran into Alfred. 

“Master Damian, where are you going?” Alfred asked, eyeing the container Damian hastily attempted to conceal.

“Pennyworth. I simply left my cell phone behind in the barn. I am going to retrieve it,” Damian lied. He pushed past Alfred and out the door.

When he reached the barn again, he was surprised to find Danny in the open, gently petting BatCow, with Alfred the cat on his shoulder. 

“Here” Damian huffed and shoved the container of food into Danny’s hands. 

Danny took the container, opening it and inspecting the food inside and Damian turned away to leave.

“I must leave for school. None of my family should come by the barn today.”

“Damian wait,” Danny called out before Damian could close the door to the barn. Damian turned back and made eye contact with him.

“Thank you..” Danny said earnestly.

Damian just turned away and left, hoping Danny hadn’t caught the way his cheeks flushed.

if i can add 2-3 idea

let's multiply the alternate forms of Danny: a fully normal cat form, a ghost cat, a cat boy form, a ghost cat boy form, a ghost Wolf form and a variant of everything I said in royal.

The idea of a crowned cat floating behind Robin smiling impossibly (a la Alice) would be quite disturbing I think.

Cat Danny could totally follow Damian to school to get his dose of hugs (and take the opportunity to make pointdexter proud on occasion)

now there are rumors that purrs can be heard out of nowhere in some sunny empty classrooms (or heard around Damian the rare times he lets someone near)

When Danny hears about Bruce's compulsion to adopt, he'll share his concerns with Damian (and maybe Alfred as well). Their plan to counter this? Damian adopts Danny but as a cat so he can't be re-adopted into the family haha! it's already there! The guy is not impressed ...

Danny totally encourages Damian's little brother type behaviors. And between a phantom catboy and an ex-assassin... let's say the next prank war falls into a new category (although Danny prevents it from getting too damaging, he prefers a lot of easily reversible little things than a big hit like most bats)

When Damian hears Danny called himself an idiot for the first time, he won't think about it, but the second time... he's unhappy! Who put such words about his Danny in his skull! This can't last! where Damian gives Danny remedial lessons while giving him praise bass therapy. That Danny purrs is a nice side effect and he's not gonna use Danny's love for compliments in other areas at all noooo

Now a small mental image: Danny, sitting cross-legged in Ghost forms with Alfred the cat lodged on his legs. sitting on Damian's head as he does his morning chores in the barn. (a totally valid use of ectoplasmic weightlessness) That's how Tim first sees Danny, totally forgets what he meant to say to Damian, looks at his betrayed coffee and returns to the mansion without a word.

When Dany comes to ask for hugs and caresses but Damian is already busy with an animal on him. Danny phased in to sit on top. The first times the animals were surprised but they got used to it.

Now...all the outfits of all the super villains seeing all the villains covered in black and white cat hair (to be sure to mess up the black and white clothes equally) No explanation, no one knows why. Only catwoman is spared and she's not really happy about it

If the Ghost King is Damian's pet, what does that make him? And wait for the Al ghul to find out...

or how Dammian won immortality for some egg and sausages ? maybe
