Friendly Neighborhood Cryptid by ZombieMerlin for The_Lord_of_Chaos, Bubblegumbeech
Fandoms: Danny Phantom
05 Aug 2021

Summary
Mr. Leggans is partially turned away from her. She doesn't want to interrupt his phone conversation— too many irrational thoughts about him getting explosively angry at her for trying— so she stares at him, willing him to turn back around so she can make eye contact and gesture at the red number on her monitor.
"—the little dude's eyes were just bright green. I'm talking like, the green of those glow-in-the-dark plastic stars that Dean had in his room when we were kids, yannow? And they were glowing."
Robin freezes. That sounds suspiciously like the kid from last week. Robin had long since dismissed him as a bad trip from a laced cigarette. How else was she supposed to explain the moving smoke and his freaky eyes and the glowing thermos? There's no way all those things actually happened.
___A series of semi-connected oneshots in which Amity Park discovers ghosts, featuring a slightly creepier take on our spectral friends. Featuring: A sentient puddle! Wet footsteps! Poorly timed lair redecoration! And— an ocean of milk? Not necessarily in that order.
(a.k.a. In which Danny is the Amity Park's friendly neighborhood cryptid instead of a ghostly superhero. For Phic Phight 2021.)

Summary
Beecher doesn't like hurting children, but he also doesn't like when they get on his nerves.
He finally snaps when Fenton giggles. "Is this funny to you?"
"Yeah, it's pretty funny," the little brat says, frustratingly candid.
Don't react. Don't react. If you react, he will find it funny. "How did you get out of the handcuffs?"
"Ten percent luck."
"What—"
"Twenty percent skill."
"Are you serious—"
"Fifteen percent concentrated power of will."

Summary
"Shh!"
In Lancer's peripheral vision, he sees Justine glancing around before her gaze rests on Lancer himself. He'd been staring at the legal pad in front of him unseeingly as he'd listened. He quickly writes out some gibberish on the pad, realizing his pen had stilled. Their voices drop down to whispers after that.
Hmm. Daniel makes videos of some sort? They're available for his classmates to see, and he talks to ghosts in them. Lancer never would have imagined the latter, considering how the boy is always one of the first to leave the scene of a ghost attack. Oh, well. At the very least, Lancer is glad his student has a hobby.
---
In which the entire student body of Casper High knows Danny's secret and has collectively agreed to keep it for him, and Lancer is baffled at Danny's sudden rise in popularity. Lancer slowly comes to realize there's a lot he doesn't know about Daniel Fenton... and then, eventually, it all makes sense. Sort of.Featuring Confused!Mr.Lancer and NotADick!Mr.Lancer in 25-ish short chapters. Inadvertently goes through a bit of a tone shift, but ends on a happy note.

An Official Ghost-Tour Honeymoon by ZombieMerlin for bibliophilea
Fandoms: Danny Phantom
03 Apr 2020
Tags
Summary
"A ghost! That means there's a ghost!" he asks, his still-undetermined accent somehow managing to put more emphasis on the 'h' in 'ghost' than it normally does. He has this reaction every time the radar dings, without fail. The radar has gone off no less than six times today.
Santana Rodriguez-Gustav looks equally ecstatic, her hand a vice as she shakes Maddie's arm excitedly. Maddie has to remind herself that this is worth it. The money is worth this. Today is these two's last day here. She just has to weather the storm. Funding for research doesn't come easy, so she can't blow this. If this couple wants to waste their money on their so-called "official ghost tour honeymoon," that's fine. She just wishes they were easier to deal with.

Summary
"Baby brother? You okay?"
"MMmmmMmMmMMMMm," Danny says in response. Jazz and Maddie exchange glances.
"I'm... not sure what that means," Jazz admits. Then, her eyes light up in understanding. A sympathetic frown pulls down her lips. She hesitates, glancing at Maddie, before turning back to her brother's door.
"Is it related to the thing?"
"Yes," Danny says immediately.
Jazz exhales heavily. Maddie stares.
Her children are hiding something from her.

Vlad's Journal and Descent into Madness by sidena
Fandoms: Danny Phantom, DCU, DCU (Comics), Batman - All Media Types
19 May 2026
Tags
Summary
Vlad has kept many, many, many journals over the years. Each one dedicated to a subject of his choice; ghosts, power, death, Madeline... and then, inevitably, Daniel.
It’s only recently that Journal 73 began. Dedicated solely to documenting every instance Daniel comes to him willingly, it started as a private indulgence. A soft sort of obsession. A record of victories, however small.
He never did expect what would happen.

Soon, he’ll go back to being a counselor, with dinnertime encroaching and lights out not long after, but right now he’s Ryan and nothing else, and the only thing he knows is dog-eared pages covered in drawings.
