'Note to self' Tim thought as he stared up at the different shades of greens and black shifting sky above him as he ignored the aching his body was in from the rough landing he had to take 'Make sure to give Bart and Kon the slowest and mind-numbing missions for like a week once I get back.'

Tim often forgot his parents used to be accomplished archeologists before they died. (He really didnt, he just really didn't like acknowledging the fact they'd rather dig up buried things from ages ago over being in the same country as him for most of his life)

It wasn't until, as he and his old team ("Yeah! Young Just US together again. Time for a new insane adventure! Hey remember that one time with-" "Shh!!" "Ooohhh right... Forgot. What happens in YJ stays in YJ...") were assigned a new mission that he was reminded of this fact.

The mission was to locate a forgotten relic that apparently could open 'doorways' into different Realms, and one of them was a Realm of powerful undead that if controlled would be unstoppable. They were meant to find it before "insert 'creative name' cult of the week here please" Who planned on subjecting the world to its power.

Now knowing about the relic and finding it was two wholly different things. Tim and the others managed to uncover just enough about the artifact that Tim had manged to narrow down the last city it had been last recorded to be seen in.

And the city's old name was something that Tim thought sounded familiar.

It wasn't until they were digging into the countries archeologist permission records, meaning the people who were given the okay to dig in the historical site, that he found out why it sounded familiar, his parents names were some of the last to have been granted permission before their deaths, and it was then Bart had jokelying said

"Hey what are are the odds Robs parents stored the relic away ages ago! Would be a tiny bit funny if this all powerful item is just collecting dust in some warehouse."

And although it was meant to be a joke. Tim stared at the description of the relic and couldn't help but question perhaps there was some merit to it. Tim, for the first time in years, opened up his parents archeologist records and went to looking.

And low and behold they found out. Still sitting in a warehouse outside of Gotham, as if his parents were going to trust Gotham with important and priceless relics unless it was in their house to study later.

So in short, retrieving the relic should had been easy enough, get in and remove it from storage. Lock it away so the cult looking for the damn thing couldn't use it. Simple.

But trust Bart goofing around with Kon and accidently bumping into Tim when he was inspecting the relic and turning it on.

It apparently opened a glowing green portal... a portal that opened under Tim and dropped him into an entirely new dimension of the Undead... Great, just great.

"Ooo a visitor, we don't get breathing guests here all too often." A voice spoke out behind him, it held an echoing in its tone. He turned around and was meet with glowing eyes and snow white hair. "Although you should probably find a way home or else Walker will find you, knowing him he'll toss you in prison for just breathing, and I'm not joking."

The one who found him was Box Ghost, who immediately after saying that takes a glance at Red Robin's hands and sees the Square Shaped Artifact that brought him there.

"Oooh, a Box! And it's a Magical Box too! Oh, my wife gon a love this!"

He takes it from Tim, and suddenly another Portal opens. It Sucks the Box Ghost in and now Tim is left alone in the Realms, with his only way out having just been stolen by a Box Obsessed Ghost.

Tim trying to gather some information about this strange new dimension finds that islands weren't the only thing floating in this green abyss!

So he goes on trying to find a library thus meeting ghostwriter.

It was initially a little rocky, with Tim invading the ghost's lair and stealing his books

But Tim was able to leave with a copy of 'INFINATE REALMS:FOR LIVING 101 EDITION' , directions to a place called Amity Park, (" Its near the brat king's castle, you can't miss it.") and many papercuts.

Can I just say, the idea of Tim being a feral thing that sneaks into GW place to steal books and GW hitting him a broom is now stuck in my mind and need more hijinks of Tim bring a human meance (like his time during Robin) until he is finally caught by one of the Ghosts and brought to Danny while hissing "TAKE HIM"

And Tim starts the second greatest prison riot in Walkers prison.

EXACTLY!!!

Before being handed off to danny, Tim:

-Of course started a riot in Walker's prison, befriending Wulf along the way.

-Collaborated in a world dominating scheme with Technus, obviously it didn't actually succeed Tim's still a hero, but it caused the GIW lots of problems (dp & dc are separate universes here)

-Played the 'most dangerous game' with Shulker, first with Tim as the prey and then Shulker as the prey.

-Took an apprenticeship with the Far Frozen

-Started a cat-and-mouse game with the Ancient of Dreams

-Became an actual Drake

-Also ate at Red Robin's (the restaurant) when hopping through portals trying to find his dimension

Make it worse.

Tim steals Walker's hat before leaving the prison (and was so happy to help Wulf escape he forgot to ask the Ghost for a ride home before he left him)

Techus and Tim are now friendly enemies in the world of tech now (Techus brings up about the fact a human is stuck in the Realms when he goes to Tucker for their annual tech-off fight.

Tucker: "Wait... a unknown human is stuck somewhere in the Realms?!"

Techus:"I......I should had brought the chaotic monster with me huh..."

Team Phantom: "YES!")

Skulker thought Phantom and his techy friend were a menace, he was never ready for a guy who managed to outsmart an immortal assassin leader creep not once but twice. Tim totally hijacks his suit and rides it around for a while (think Link in TotK on the robot thing later in the game)

And is getting a brand new spleen after Frostbite offered to grow it since he's missing one!

Tim Vs Nocturne is a fight we need written out. Tim dodging sleep attacks and swearing to find a way to get rid of his need to sleep forever (their rivalry continues even after Tim goes home)

He stumbles on Aragon trying to usurp his sister, finds his talk about "putting her in her place" and "women can never be leaders" very bad (look he knows a LOT of badass ladies, he drinks his respect juice now that he isn't a dumb young teen anymore) steals his amulet and really enjoys being able to become an actual dragon, it feels right.

He takes a picture of himself with a Red Robin statue and in front of the sign dressed in his RR suit for laughs.

Ok so you know how Undergrowth has Sam and sometimes Clockwork has Danny right??? 👀👀👀👀👀👀

What if after some time, Nocturne decides that he wants to patron Tim

Congrats B, you're now co-parenting with the ghost king AND a primordial dream deity.

Nocturne: This one -holds Tim up like Simba- Tim: NEVER! I REFUSE TO SLEEP -hisses like a feral wet cat and tries to escape- Danny: He's like a rabid raccoon. He's perfect.

Nocturne negotiates with Tim: You won't have to sleep if you feed on other people's sleep~

You're a hero, right? If you steal a minute of sleep from someone, they won't notice. But if you do this to anyone in a heavily populated area YOU will see the difference for yourself. And even your protector gains, one or two minutes less sleep in exchange for a hero who is always well rested.

Everyone wins~

Oh shit :D ?

I just remembered! (Thank you, historical fantasy section!) But like? Serving and protecting The King, especially a HIGH KING, is quite literally not just an incredible honor... but it can sometimes be a person's Life Ambition?

Specificly a WORTHY king.

Perhaps they were denied in life. Perhaps they FAILED. And in their dying moments struggle with all they were to LIVE. To PROTECT. Perhaps the PREVIOUS king was a great and worthy ruler... but their heir is...

Unworthy.

Maybe they are born to an age without Rulers. Power shifting between hands in hidden halls. Unclear and murky. All they want is for their loyalty to MEAN something. For things to be SIMPLE.

The universe is large. The Infinite Realms? Unimaginably larger.

And Pariah Dark was a BASTARD.

Who would willingly swear to him? Fools! That's who! Every warrior soul worth ANYTHING gets as far AWAY from his Realm forsaken resting place as they can. Hides. Lest they be dragged in to his infernal, gods forsaken, cess pit of a so called "army"! *disgusted spitting noises*

But what does this mean? It means every trained FIGHTER... got the hell out of dodge. Oh, sure, a FEW refused. Like Pandora and her people. But most? The farthest side of NOWHERE, several layers down! Some still GOING! Better to be decried as cowards then have ANYTHING to do with THAT(said with loathing)!

It also means they weren't where Pariah could get to them when he woke. Couldn't help. Couldn't fight. Couldn't be commanded to kneel. Nothing. They removed themselves completely. Planned on CONTINUING to remove themselves. Preferably to the farthest reaches of forever, far beyond the bastard's gaze.

But! The whole REALM INFINITE felt it? When that... that hissing, acidic, malicious undertone? SLAMS back and away, like somebody's knocked a parasite from their backs. Replaced by coolness and starlight. Delicate balance and blood on your teeth. The pounding in your chest of HOPE.

It flutters so small across their backs, inside their chests. Washing away the old.

The King... feels tiny. Young.

.......what are they doing? Running like this. Hiding away like that will change anything. How long... when did...

There are so many of them now. A veritable army of souls, of all Ages and People's. Every armor and crest imaginable. They'd been so.. so REPULSED by Pariah... nothing else had mattered but to get AWAY. Where even ARE they? What YEAR is it? Does any of that matter?

The King.

Their Obsessions whisper. Loyalty. Service. Protection. Honor. You have left you post! Abandoned your DUTY! What are you DOING!?

They are AGHAST. They turn around at once. The King! How could they have ABANDONED the King!? Who is guarding him if they are all HERE?!

Himself!?

(Yes. Danny is fine. He is eating the "Thank You for keeping us all from dying to whatever the FUCK that was!" tamales Paulina's mom pushed into his arms on his way back home. He didn't even try arguing. He made eye contact and knew he would lose.)

(Why does he feel like something really, really bothersome is headed his way?)

It's UNACCEPTABLE. Unthinkable! The King? Unguarded? Where assassination attempts and nefarious PLOTS could occur?! What if someone tried to steal his eggs!? Or attacked him while his exoskeleton was molting!? They aren't entirely sure which species he is yet, but there are SO MANY NEFARIOUS PLOTS OUT THERE!!

*panicked honor guards*

Just? Imagine becoming king. And thinking "well, aside from the skeleton army I have to figure out, at least I don't have to manage anybody!" Only to *WABAM!* your ENTIRE GHOST COURT shows up like a week later. Turns out they were hiding from your predecessor.

You have a whole ass honor gaurd. Who REFUSE TO LEAVE YOUR SIDE. You have Chefs. Who WILL cry if you send them away. The Literal Best In The Multiverse are all following you around... YOU, a RANDOM TEENAGE, with Excited Shoujo Sparkles in their eyes... because you punched a jackass really, REALLY hard.

There is no way to make this stop. Your friends are laughing at you. The interior decorator wants you to look at swatches. What are swatches and why are you being harrased by them at 1am, you wonder? If you are Mean(tm) they throw themselves upon the floor and blame themselves for their Wicked, Evil, King-Upseting Ways and you can't even TELL if your being played here.

It's like being bullied by house elves. Or Miette.

Your parents are too excited by all the New Research (at least the reveal went well?) To SAVE THEIR SON, and your sister is HELPING THE ENEMY (Traitor!), so now you're being bullied into eating vegetables and studying more.

Then? THEN!! WHO SHOWS UP?! Like... five WEEKS late?! The Justice League. Gee! GREAT RESPONSE TIME, GUYS! Reeeal snappy! But ya, JUST missed the guy!

.......YES HES BEING SARCASTIC!!!

@hdgnj @stealingyourbones

The entire royal army of the infinite realms:

Danny just wants a nap. He probably grabs one of the sides and sits them down like. Between these hours. I am resting. Please keep everyone from waking me up. And they would get to royal guards around. This is the King's rest period. He is not to be disturbed unless there is an issue we cannot handle. They take their duty with pride! They guard the King's sleep!

This is an issue when the Justice League arrive at 3am. And the Guards? Say no. You !at not bother the King as he rests actually. He has had a few very trying weeks since ascending the throne.

So Danny wakes up to an increasinly tense stand off. As the heroes are here to question the King. How dare! You would come here! Late! And demand to wake the King from his slumber! The audacity! Angry rumbles all around!

While the Justice League? Increasingly worried. Are all these beings brainwashed? Why are they so insistent? What the hell? Wasn't Pariah Dark hated?

If any of the ghosts hear that? Shame on you! Shame! King Phantom rules now! He is just and kind! And very very young and in need of rest!

I feel like it’s dated a bit, but it would obviously take Aquaman and Wonder Woman to look at the situation (of the JL arriving at 3am to the horde of the honor guard) and just be like... 

“Oh. Things just got shaken up in a way that we kind of understand! Batman, Supes, other assorted idiots; let’s back up over here, say thank you to the nice eternal beings, and let them know we’ll be waiting at a neutral place not far away until it becomes a reasonable time for us to talk to the new King!” And the whole Honor Guard spends the next 6 hours essentially like one of those angry house cats with the hissing and the puffed up fur, only to immediately be even MORE protective of Danny when telling him about the literal Amazoness and the King of Atlantis (extra points if there’s someone in the mess of people there that recognizes crests or something on WW and Aquaman).

OMG, some of these regulars like Ember or Johnny and Kitty must have laughed at him and ate popcorn

And the poor ghost box had to be reprimanded and cried so much that it was Danny who broke down and calmed things down... at least the attacks at night and during school have become extremely rare.

Oh my god? Just "We've come to-!" "No. :) " and this legion of grizzled commando BAMFS all being like "we have been given the SACRED TASK of defending our Tiny, Infant, Wee Baby Lad of King's Nappy Time! And we will defend it it with our very SOULS! RAAAAH!"

Like... hey... Hey wait a minute. Something about that feels off...

Are you BABYING HIM?! "Whaaaat? No! NEVER, your majesty! Was Nap time enjoyable?"

Cause they are are mostly OLD AS DUST and he's like... three. AT BEST.

A BABY. Tiny, infant God Baby.

NO ONE is touching the star child. So HELP THEM, Ancients! He was apparently BORN for this role and NO ONE is fucking this up for them!

And Danny basicly IS running around shouting "no stabbing! Be NICE!" Like to them that's not the MOST Baby "let's all get along and be fwiends" mindset imaginable?

Were it not for the laws of this land(Danny) they would have stabbed you, colorful intruders. Be grateful.

And Danny is just? *Stress Intensifies* GREAT first impressions, guys! He's NEVER SLEEPING AGAIN ha ha T^T

Danny has to be the peaceful one and hates it. He'd rather fight like a rabid badger than have to have a de-escalation discussion. He's bad with those words! It's more the jazz thing, the speeches and the pedagogy! He feels he's going to crack but hopes it will be AFTER the Justice League leaves

God this is great cus just imagining all the different grizzled knights war vets guards and people who put their lives on the line just going No! It's nap time you will not disturb the king

And the justice league is being insistent on seeing the king mean while aquaman and wonder woman each see like 3 separate atlantants and amazonians and realising huh yeah why did we decide 3 am

Also just imagine the fist time his knights see him fight like Oh no the baby is in troub- nope that's uh thats kinda terrifying cus da little baby boy king has full on kached onto the suit of armour and is chewing he's ripping aoart the robot hunter and cackling maniacally

Considering their technology, fashion choices and obsessions most ghosts Danny fights got to be pretty young, by ghost standards. Like even Vlad half-died maybe less than 20 years ago. Youngblood could be older but he has a bit of a Peter Pan situation going on.

The first ghost attack Danny’s fresh new honor guard encounters is Youngblood coming over for their scheduled bi-weekly play date fight. Someone maybe Jazz or Sam explained to Danny’s somewhat over enthusiastic honor guard that this was a planned fight and that Danny is not in danger and that if they ruin this for him Danny is going to be sad.

(Danny would actually be mad and then break down crying from the stress of being king and having an honor guard, but that’s basically the same thing, right?)

So now Danny’s honor guard is under the impression that all of Danny’s roughs are actually his little friends coming over for play dates some older ghost set up.

(Considering Clockwork there might even be some truth in that)

The older ghost like Undergrowth or Pandora are considered babysitters and fighting instructors.

They only ever help if he asks them too. And he probably would sick the guard on Vlad. I can just imagine him going to one of them. Using I'm baby privilege and sucking them on Vlad.

Danny: I don't like him! He keeps bullying me! And he's weird and creepy and gross!!!!

And the guard are like. well. Clearly the other child needs a time out! The naughty halfa child will be taken to the other side of the Realms! And given to parents who will look after him properly! He clearly needs better guardians!

Ah! It is Jonny 13. On of the King's playmates! Just this way young man. Have fun you two!

The Justice League would find this incredibly weird. But also. The new Ghost King is a child! Poor baby! How can we help!

Okay but the Fenton's accidentally opening the Ghost Portal into, essentially, GZ Toddler Land is honestly hilarious to think about.

Like planets were forming potentially as long as 12 billion years ago - there could be ghosts from so many species and so old.

And his rogues gallery is: electric guitar woman, robot guy, robot guy 2, bicycle guy + punk gf, Osha violation man, etc. Even pandora would've only come into being like 28- or 29 hundred years ago.

And ofc if the king was locked away & every other member of government's obsessions had them keep running As Far Away As Possible Just In Case (TM) until Danny came along? No wonder so many "baby" ghosts were just. Wreaking havoc.

Imagine some 4 billion years old nobility ghost meeting Walker. It would either be "how cute he's trying to recreate the government" Or "He's not even a millennium old and he's trying to parent all these other baby ghosts because no one else was here to help them!!! 😭 No wonder the vampire one and a few others have had such poor manners."

Lol the shoved Pariah in the Toddler Room as punishment. Bad and Naughty dictators get the SCREAMY CHILDREN.

SUFFER.

And what's WORSE for Pariah? When he gets out? And they are legitimately and rightfully panicking because "OH GOD, WE PUT THE MONSTER IN THE NURSERY! He was SUPPOSED to be in a COMA! WHY IS HE AWAKE!?" And rushing to get their gear, preparing for carnage, this might be IT ya'll...

One of the BABIEST of the babies? Fuckin DECKS THE TYRANNICAL WAR GOD that was their king and takes his throne.

No... no REALLY. A literal zygote. So wittle he's basically just a cheep cheep baby bird eggy.

INFANT.

Holy SHIT, Pariah... :D You SUCK!

I mean, they'll totally TAKE it! Don't get them wrong, King Babiest of Adorable little feral, squirmy, bite children is THE cutest thing EVER. He's the new Zone Mascot and dearest beloved. Patriotism has never been higher. There are plushies and baby dolls.

Wook at his wittle faaaaaace~♡

He GRUMPY! A big royal BOY! Yes he IS!

If ANYTHING happens to their collective New Royal Son, they are killing everything and then themselves. Also Clockwork is a BITCH for hiding him from them.

He's so SASSY and curious and smol? And batshit feral! Like a hamster that disemboweled three gods and an eldritch being for a corn chip it didn't even want!

........they should bring him a little outfit. Oooo! Maybe a sword! Children like those, right?

Ok, then does that make Frostbite the school nurse??? Just... the one that wouldn't abandon the babies in the nursery/daycare bc *someone* needed to make sure the kids had someone to give them their shots and a colored bandaid and kiss their boo-boos and give them a hug when they feel overwhelmed

Pandora is the guard/protector of the playground so that all of the dangerous snakes and other nasty things were safely away XD

Oh god, Danny's section being a Ghost Nursery makes so much sense.

Undergrowth and Nocturne (forgor if this is the proper spelling) are in so much trouble with every other old ghost

All of this concluded in Danny's Universe being in one of many Ghost Nursery sections of ALL THE INFINITE REALMS

Ellie must be having the fun of her Neverborn Life of both having a Home to come back to and places to Explore.

And Danny being Spoiled ROTTEN and Loved by WHOLE INFINITE REALMS as Their Baby King. Finally having everything being taken care of

Aaaand Dan being punished standing in a Corner.

Undergrowth,he is the school gardener?

and Nocturne the manager and supervisor of the nap corner?

Prince Aragon and Princess Dorathea as a playground supervisor? too young an adult to really be considered an adult? look Aragon …. must have repeated too many times for a diploma and left the child zone and intimidated his "little" sister so that she did not ask for her diploma before him

it's vortex that would have problems. It would be this (young) adult who waits for the children at the end of school to racket them and humiliate them

Nocturne accidentally scaring the hell out of Danny but in reality just trying to get this one damn infant to sleep.  “maybe if his entire haunt is asleep he will go to bed”-Nocturne, certifiable dumbass who has been looking after the whole nap corner of the ghost nursery with no breaks for way too fucking long. Nocturne: he likes space right? maybe if I’m stars he’ll calm down for nap time Danny: *horrified screaming* Nocturne: Oh! He wants to play! I’m sure after this he’ll be ready to go to bed. Nocturne is taking a long break for his own mental health on the insistence of his superiors.

Nocturne tries in vain to get all the babies to sleep at the same time to finally be able to get some sleep. He couldn't sleep for so long :'(

Oh shit :D ?

And the guard are like. well. Clearly the other child needs a time out! The naughty halfa child will be taken to the other side of the Realms! And given to parents who will look after him properly! He clearly needs better guardians!

Ah! It is Jonny 13. On of the King's playmates! Just this way young man. Have fun you two!

The Justice League would find this incredibly weird. But also. The new Ghost King is a child! Poor baby! How can we help!

Okay but the Fenton's accidentally opening the Ghost Portal into, essentially, GZ Toddler Land is honestly hilarious to think about.

Like planets were forming potentially as long as 12 billion years ago - there could be ghosts from so many species and so old.

And his rogues gallery is: electric guitar woman, robot guy, robot guy 2, bicycle guy + punk gf, Osha violation man, etc. Even pandora would've only come into being like 28- or 29 hundred years ago.

And ofc if the king was locked away & every other member of government's obsessions had them keep running As Far Away As Possible Just In Case (TM) until Danny came along? No wonder so many "baby" ghosts were just. Wreaking havoc.

Imagine some 4 billion years old nobility ghost meeting Walker. It would either be "how cute he's trying to recreate the government" Or "He's not even a millennium old and he's trying to parent all these other baby ghosts because no one else was here to help them!!! 😭 No wonder the vampire one and a few others have had such poor manners."

Lol the shoved Pariah in the Toddler Room as punishment. Bad and Naughty dictators get the SCREAMY CHILDREN.

SUFFER.

And what's WORSE for Pariah? When he gets out? And they are legitimately and rightfully panicking because "OH GOD, WE PUT THE MONSTER IN THE NURSERY! He was SUPPOSED to be in a COMA! WHY IS HE AWAKE!?" And rushing to get their gear, preparing for carnage, this might be IT ya'll...

One of the BABIEST of the babies? Fuckin DECKS THE TYRANNICAL WAR GOD that was their king and takes his throne.

No... no REALLY. A literal zygote. So wittle he's basically just a cheep cheep baby bird eggy.

INFANT.

Holy SHIT, Pariah... :D You SUCK!

I mean, they'll totally TAKE it! Don't get them wrong, King Babiest of Adorable little feral, squirmy, bite children is THE cutest thing EVER. He's the new Zone Mascot and dearest beloved. Patriotism has never been higher. There are plushies and baby dolls.

Wook at his wittle faaaaaace~♡

He GRUMPY! A big royal BOY! Yes he IS!

If ANYTHING happens to their collective New Royal Son, they are killing everything and then themselves. Also Clockwork is a BITCH for hiding him from them.

He's so SASSY and curious and smol? And batshit feral! Like a hamster that disemboweled three gods and an eldritch being for a corn chip it didn't even want!

........they should bring him a little outfit. Oooo! Maybe a sword! Children like those, right?

Danny would like to know when ghosts are considered proper adults please. Because, he gets it. These guys are all older than ancient Egypt. But he isn't an actual infant. He is a teen. And would like to be treated as such please.

Finding out he has to hit 500 to be a real grownup? Oh, the possibilities! Hey, new caretaker and tutor. Did you know? He has a slightly bigger ghost kid who keeps bullying him. Plasmius keeps trying to beat him up. And he keeps being mean and cheating! He blocked his powers! He cloned him! Not that he doesn't love Ellie. But still! Clearly Plasmius needs a ghost parent to take him in hand!

Plasmius had to admit the little badger was cunning. Using his relative youth against him? Having him adopted off to stern 'parents' who will teach him better? Very clever. He will have his revenge one day. Once he finds a way to free himself from his accursed 'parents'!

And if there's any debate over who should adopt the baby king, clockwork will totally say he was the first! and HE didn't try to kill him (gives a look at nocturnal and in undergrowth among others) (in the undergrowth whispers that he prefers the girl anyway '3') AND goes despite the insistence of the observants!

The others sound like fair, ok we'll check with baby king but ok as long as we can spoil him rot like some kind of uncle and aunt keep away!

Then it landed. The observants knew! they tried to kill an infant! no, worse, they tried to require an elder to do it for them. Ok clockwork needs to be kind of watched because his power is just terrifying but there was a problem somewhere! In any case, the observants are accountable!

DP X DC WRITING PROMPT #1

(I don't know if someone has already written this idea yet. If someone has tho please give me the info/link so I can read it. 👀

This might be the only prompt I do, because my brain likes to keep my creativity behind bars a majority of the time. That and anxiety. I've never done a post like this before. Also, most of my knowledge is from DP not DC. Please forgive me if I get something wrong.)

(#) = Notes at the end of post

(*) = Just me building off of other ideas.

short prompt #1 →

short prompt #2 →

The House of Mystery is Danny's lair or vacation lair(1) and ever since he outlived his friends and family(2), he's been coming to the House of Mystery whenever he needs a break from his kingly duties. Since it's the Infinite Realms, the HoM exists in every universe, but due to it not always being in the form of a literal house and difficult for outsiders to enter, it's never found. At least until now.

I like to think that between ghost with a space aesthetic (Both are "secretly" space nerds) and the fact that Nocturne has NEVER attempted to harm a human just put them to sleep (and use technology to keep them asleep and more easily harvest the energy produced) the two have no real trouble making peace.
