Vlad dies. He isn’t gone written for day 26 of ectober month 2021: autopsy / pumpkin more parts of this series: 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 (links fixed)
“Daniel. Daniel, listen to me.”
Plasmius floated behind him, reaching out to grab Danny’s shoulder. Danny kept walking, accelerating his pace so that he was just out of Vlad’s reach.
He had to get to class. Vlad’s nonsense could wait until after he failed his physics exam.
“You can’t let them do this to me! You of all people should understand what will happen.”
Danny scoffed, not bothering to look behind him. “Maybe you should’ve thought of that before you got yourself killed. I mean, really. One of your little projects was bound to blow up in your face sooner or later. Don’t expect me to feel sorry for you.” Especially since said project had been human experimentation, vivisection. It hurt enough that the subjects had been Danny’s clones, but all things considered, at least Vlad had paid the price.
Jazz didn’t quite see it that way, and it was hell to see his parents so devastated over their dear friend’s untimely death. But Valerie knew. She’d been the one to tell him the details of what happened, of how she’d found Vlad elbows-deep in a boy that resembled Danny Fenton. Of how she’d panicked and shot an ectoblast that just grazed Vlad’s shoulder, which hit one of the cloning tanks and detonated a chain explosion. How the poor clone on the table had reacted with a final ghostly wail, decimating everything in a ten-foot radius and slamming an unsuspecting Vlad against the ceiling. Which then caved in.
Valerie’s suit was the only thing that saved her from being buried alive in the lab.
Vlad, on the other hand, was dead even before the mansion collapsed.

anyway, here are some of my favorite fics and some phandom classics ;)
Phantom of Truth by HaiJu
a classic among fans. if you are looking for some really heavy angst, this is the fic for you.
A Snapping Sound by Represent
this is a horror/murder mystery au of the show. also pretty popular among fans.
Things I Can(not) Do in Amity Park by ReadHeadsRock1010
pretty funny fic where danny is a senior and doesn’t care about his secret identity anymore, so he tests the limit of Amity Park’s ignorance.
Speak To Me by Miss_Nihilist
reveal fic where danny is stuck speaking ghost speak.
Everything Was White by @lexosaurus
you want more modern angst? don’t worry i got you. in this fic, danny is exposed to the public and is taken by the GIW and now he has to deal with the aftermath. (lexx has some awesome fics. you should definitely check em out)
Mortified by @five-rivers
pretty long gen fic for you to binge. if you like clockwork being a dad to danny, this is the fic for you. (marsalias is also an amazing writer. please check her fics, they’re always putting new stuff. another good fic by them is Flower/Moon/Corruption/Gloves)
What Means the Most by @feralhalfghost
a twist on kindred spirits. one of my favorite identity reveals out there.
Double Standard by @mystyrust
valerie centric fic! valerie is left with a lot of questions after the events of d-stabilized and the only person that could probably answer them is phantom (mysty has some hilarious social media fics too)
Threads of Time by ZombieRed
maddie centric reveal fic. maddie is trapped on a time loop and has to figure out the way get out of it
Easy Target by gallavichsecurity
dash centric fic! dash knows something weird is going on with fenton and tries to get to the bottom of it.
Magnetized by @imekitty
maddie wants to experiment on her son. just your good ol dissection fic (they have amazing fics! another well know fic by them is Planned. you should definitely give their stuff a look)
Mortality Salience by Alexa_Piper
danny and valerie get stuck together
@realghostboy by @dotsz
hilarious social media fic. perfect if you want some good laughs.
Unveiled by @darks-ink
jack centric! jack finds himself in vlad’s secret lab and discovers a lot of things while looking around (DarkNymfa is an amazing writer and has a lot of dp fics for you to check. some other fics i like from them are Glow Sticks and Grounded)
Danny Phantom’s House of Horror by Browa123
danny convinces his parents to let him open a haunted house for halloween and they make him promise no real ghost would be involved. halfas aren’t exactly real ghost though. (another fic i like from the same author is Self-Defense)
A Little Off Point by @wastefulreverie
maddie and jack mistakenly jump to conclusion that their son is a vampire after noticing the oddities that surround him. (rev has some really good dp fics that you should definitely check out. one that i like a lot is Speak to Me)
The Curious Case of Danny Fenton by @ladylynse
you like wes weston? then you are in luck, because here’s a really good wes centric fic (i feel like i’m repeating myself, but please go check the rest of their work. one of my favorites is Complications)
was this an excuse to shoutout my favorite writers? yes
So I love these kinds of crossovers, and they vary just because of the different kind of series and canons that exist. And I have very basic knowledge regarding a lot of DC related topics and characters but we all know Batman and usually that’s enough. There’s good Justice League intervening and finding a small ghost child somehow keeping godly creatures of chaos in order with a mere glare, there’s teen titans and Danny interactions, there’s a lot of Danny’s friends and family dying and him getting adopted into these groups, basically you can find so much content.
One of my FAVOURITE concepts is the whole ‘Danny is Batman’s son’, which my favourite execution of it is The Phantom and the Knight by savya398 on Archive of our Own! Why is this my favourite? Why not a ‘Danny is Richard Graysons twin/lost brother? Because Dick is a nice dude, maybe getting serious from time to time but generally? He’s a good bro, makes me think of Jazz and Danny’s relationship.
Now Danny as Batman’s son? Well this has many implications. And my favourite is this makes DAMIEN Danny’s brother. Literal demon spawn finds out he has a brother and it’s DANNY. This child of pure chaos would not be impressed at all with this scrawny, c student mess. How dare this sorry excuse of a teen even be considered in being related to him! Or the great Batman!! The pure feral sibling bonds are to die for.
Even better is that this fic DOESN’T kill everyone off. Which I enjoy very greatly!! So yeah, if you like crossovers between Danny Phantom and Justice league where they don’t kill everyone Danny knows off, this is a good fic!! And while I’m at it, I’m gonna recommend some other really great Danny Phantom/DC fics!
The Meddling Jerkwad League by StrawberryCamel
A series that has the Justice League accidentally medaling while Danny and Tucker slowly finds less reasons not to strangle them all. It’s funny and entertaining!
Ghost Kings and Gotham Bats by BlueGhostCardinal
This is a good one. Phantom gets caught up in Gotham stuff, Danny gets mistaken as Damien, Bruce wants to adopt him naturally, everyone thinks he’s a clone or lost twin or something, and while we are at it, there’s a lot of established ghost lore!! King Danny heck yeah!! As well as the classic batfamily banter!
And so it Ghost by Evandarya
This one has Vlad as Danny’s guardian and Danny looks into getting into collage in Gotham! Of course it goes wrong and attracts the attention of the Batfam as they try to figure out what is going on with this kid that knew a little too much about the villain that attacked.
Operation I’m Totally 300 by I_Am_Toast
This one. Is hilarious I love this fic. It’s just Danny trying to convince the young justice league that he’s an old wise ghost based on the recorded appearances he has of himself in the past. We all know Danny just sucks at improv and so shenanigans are ensued.
Dressed for Death by Nohvarrs
Another great one, Danny ends up in John Constantine’s house and then he can’t seem to stop showing up wherever he goes. Danny’s problems only get more annoying when the Justice League tries to find out who he was before his death.
So yeah! Superheroes and Danny Phantom! I’m a big sucker for Danny Phantom crossovers. Especially since this child is ridiculously OP. He’s like an invasive species. He is a basic teen hero in Amity because he faces people and enemies that have very specialized weapons that can affect him. You drop him anywhere else? Almost nothing can touch him and he’s basically One Punch Man. Amazing.

Secrets, secrets and advice (this teacher’s vice) by AppleScented Lazers on FFN This week’s writings:
I got Out of Time’s 17th chapter up. Just waiting on 18 to be looked over and sent back for one last edit before posting. I’m both nervous and excited for that chapter. It’s been in the works for AGES. Otherwise - I worked on assignments this week… that counts as writing right?
Are you in the mood to perhaps compile fics with that specific dadzawa & dadmic situation? ♡
:O!! YES ALWAYS??? OMG OKAY
For anyone who hasn’t seen it this ask is in reference to this comic I made about one of my favorite types of bnha fanfic: Aizawa and Yamada having already adopted Shinsou and Eri, realize Bakugou might also need some help.
It’s not entirely clear in my comic lmao but I feel like if you know, you know. Anyway here are some of my favorites!
note: because of the subject matter, most if not all of these contain themes of physical/emotional abuse and neglect. Check the tags for details
pump the break by stolenbythewestwind
this one is first because this fic. oh this fic eviscerates me. I really like Shinsou's characterization here, and the attention given to how he adjusts to Bakugou's presence. Also it can be so hard to write Mitsuki in a way that feels real in a situation like this, I swear to god this fic this fic is the blueprint. If I ever shut up about pump the break I am dead and gone from this earth.
this family of ours by ghostoutofhisgrave
A one-shot from Mic's pov about how they got all their kids. This one also includes Todoroki and is so fucking sweet. I love how Eri is so happy to have new brothers and they immediately roll with it.
It's Called: Freefall by poddunkk
This one is like good parenting slowburn because Bakugou doesn't move in until deep into the fic but god I love this one. The way Bakugou and Shinsou go from awkward, annoyed, mutuals to brothers is fantastic. There's mention of Eri being introduced soon!
Okay moving away from my comic just a bit! Here some of my favs where their family is generally already established, but still feature Bakugou, Shinsou, and dadzawa/dadmic:
Our House, Our Lives. (Part four of Homemade Families) by Heroesloverofbooks
This is a short series of fics! Including Todoroki, but no Eri in these ones. I picked part four because this one is my favorite; I like the silly sibling banter and Bakugou's dramatic ass.
Silent Treatement (Part two of Learning to Juggle) by SmartiMart
Another fantastic series, it's different from most other I've read because this time it's Shinsou, Bakugou, and Midoriya in the house (No Eri). The situations that get Bakugou and Midoriya into the erasermic fam are also unique, it's not usually what I go for with them, but the characterization has me by the throat.
Special Note: I HIGHLY suggested reading part two first. The plot of Silent Treatement is Bakugou and Midoriya have a fight and no one else can figure out why. I won't spoil it, but there's this scene where Bakugou admits something and Aizawa has this oh shit moment that hits so much harder without the context from part one.
now by theghoulinyourattic
A one-shot that's on the shorter end but I adore the characterization here. He would fucking do that omfg.
Lavender Tears (Series) by dreamsoflovingness
Another series, fourteen parts and complete! Once more featuring Todoroki but not Eri. I love this one so much I can't pick a favorite. My favorite part of this series is seeing the boy's relationships develop over the course of it. Especially how the author writes Bakugou suddenly being someone's brother.
a mix of six (Series) by Argentina
I'm obsessed with this authors mind. Y'all not only is this series twenty-seven parts, it includes Todoroki and Eri! I love the episodic style of these and OUGH there is just something about these kids developing the instinct to protect one another that gets me. There's one where Eri puts glitter in their hair and the next day at school the three of them are bragging about how cool their little sister is and I fucking can't. I love it.
Bonus Round: Some fics that don't technically fit the prompt but I hold so dear to my heart.
baby steps. by nitroglycerin_and_paraffin
Included because it involves Aizawa getting Bakugou out of his house. I fucking love this one. The way the author slowly gives you more information about why Aizawa acts the way he does and the way he finds out about little tidbits of Class-A's relationship dynamics I'm soooo normal about it. Also I LOVE the back-and-forth dialogue I'm eating that shit up.
Best Jeanist Acquires A Son (Series) by Sif
OH THESE ONES. Bakugou gets out of his house but it's Jeanist that takes him in! I love how the author developed Bakugou and Jeanist and don't even get me started on the quirk meta they did for Bakugou it's the coolest shit ever.
That's my list, thank you so much for the ask :)
So let’s say you’re in the same boat I am (this is a running theme, have you noticed?) and you’ve just got, like, SO MUCH STUFF that HAS to get done YESTERDAY or you will DIE (or fail/get fired/mope). Everything needs to be done yesterday, you’re sick, and for whatever reason you are focusing on the least important stuff first. What to do!
Take a deep breath, because this is a boot camp in prioritization.
Make a 3 by 4 grid. Make it pretty big. The line above your top row goes like this: Due YESTERDAY - due TOMORROW - due LATER. Along the side, write: Takes 5 min - Takes 30 min - Takes hours - Takes DAYS.
Divide ALL your tasks into one of these squares, based on how much work you still have to do. A thank you note for a present you received two weeks ago? That takes 5 minutes and was due YESTERDAY. Put it in that square. A five page paper that’s due tomorrow? That takes an hour/hours, place it appropriately. Tomorrow’s speech you just need to rehearse? Half an hour, due TOMORROW. Do the same for ALL of your tasks
Your priority goes like this:
5 minutes due YESTERDAY
5 minutes due TOMORROW
Half-hour due YESTERDAY
Half-hour due TOMORROW
Hours due YESTERDAY
Hours due TOMORROW
5 minutes due LATER
Half-hour due LATER
Hours due LATER
DAYS due YESTERDAY
DAYS due TOMORROW
DAYS due LATER
At this point you just go down the list in each section. If something feels especially urgent, for whatever reason - a certain professor is hounding you, you’re especially worried about that speech, whatever - you can bump that up to the top of the entire list. However, going through the list like this is what I find most efficient.
Some people do like to save the 5 minute tasks for kind of a break between longer-running tasks. If that’s what you want to try, go for it! You’re the one studying here.
So that’s how to prioritize. Now, how to actually do shit? That’s where the 20/10 method comes in. It’s simple: do stuff like a stuff-doing FIEND for 20 minutes, then take a ten minute break and do whatever you want. Repeat ad infinitum. It’s how I’ve gotten through my to do list, concussed and everything.
You’ve got this. Get a drink and start - we can do our stuff together!

There’s been donation posts for neo-nazi groups going around so I figured I would share a link specifically for Jewish support. Stay safe y’all
