Ok proper AU idea/thoughts on my idea of Danny being a reborn version of Pariah and Clockworks kid. (Link here)
No one knows that Danny is a reborn version of their kid (At least except the Observants who don’t want to tell anyone and were freaking the fuck out with TUE thing because OH this kid’s gonna be Pariah 2.0 AND WE DON’T HAVE ANOTHER SARCOPHAGUS! FUCKKK!GET CLOCKWORK TO CONTROL HIS KID) Clockwork and Pariah’s kid was young when they got killed/died and so they had no idea what he’d look like.
Clockwork is fond of Danny doesn’t know exactly why…maybe because he reminds him or a younger Pariah, but he’s protective over him. Pariah of course had zero idea with everything.
It’s actually due to Vlad that everyone finds out. Vlad finds out that ghosts and their children have bonds and he goes ‘ah well if I cause Daniel’s core to activate it will bond with me as only other half ghost’ and so finds a way to activate Danny’s core…only it doesn’t link to him, it links to Clockwork who drops his staff and is suddenly realising everything that his kid is alive… and it links to a closed Sarcophagus that suddenly starts shaking.
Danny’s not sure what Vlad was trying to do but guess he failed he doesn’t feel anything really…
He has no idea that the ghost zone is in chaos…and the Observants are trying to run away to a different plan of existence before anyone figures out they knew.
Victoria and Riley picked people (mostly teenagers) that nobody would miss for their army. They all had been dealt a shitty hand in life. Is it me or is that extremely out of character for the Cullens to brutally murder a bunch of brainwashed kids? And the Volturi’s actions didn’t make any sense either.
Also, we’re never given an exact number but from what I counted on the wiki eighteen newborns were named in The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner so I just added another eighteen.
so…thirty-six bouncing baby vampires!
So here’s what I propose:
The Cullens don’t kill the newborns. They incapacitate them. Yes, there is still the epic battle and the newborns have been ripped apart (which is traumatic and the Cullens feel bad but it was necessary) but they’re not burned.
They don’t dismember Bree
She’ll be used as a witness
The Volturi swoop in and the Cullens present the bodies of Victoria and Riley
Jane interrogates/tortures Bree to get information
Learns that none of them knew anything about the laws
The fact that the newborns are in pieces and not ashes aren’t lost on the Volturi
Jane makes the comment about the Volturi not giving second chances
Which is bullshit because the newborns never even got their first chance
Jane agrees to allow the newborns to live. The caveat being that for one year starting on that battlefield the Cullens are responsible for the newborns
Meaning that if any one of them step one toe out of line they’ll rain down hell upon their heads
Jane didn’t do this out of the goodness of her own heart
She had orders
With Carlisle not only generally well-liked amongst vampires (he has quite a few powerful friends), he also has one of the most powerful vampires in existence in his coven
He was a threat but they couldn’t take him out directly
They half hoped the newborns would do it for them. It’s why they didn’t squash the newborns earlier
But they also knew that skilled vampires with experience will win against the newborns any day
They also, to some degree, know Carlisle and his bleeding heart
So they send Jane along with orders
If the Cullens killed all of the newborns, great! Their job has been done for them
If they spared - kill the spares.
It’ll send a message
If they spare more than five newborns, allow the spared ones to live. With the ultimatum of the Cullens being responsible for them as if they created them
Why?
Well it kills some birds with one stone
If the Cullens fail to control the newborns properly (which the Volturi are sure they will) then the decimation of the Cullens would look justified
They could also say that the Cullens knew what they were agreeing to and accepted the potential consequences
They could get rid of the threat and wouldn’t have to deal with the political implications and backlash of the Volturi killing the Cullens for either no legal reason or a flimsy one
The fact the Cullens spared all the newborns was both unexpected and delightful
Aro also wanted to see how it all played out
So he allows it
Breaking Dawn is the Cullens trying to wrangle the thirty-six feral newborns
Edward gives in and Bella is changed and joins the rest of the newborns in training
The Cullens move to the most remote place you can think of
but they still have a hard time controlling all of them (duh)
So they call their vampy friends and ask them to help them out with their pack of feral vampires
Jacob’s pack - Jacob, Seth, Leah, Embry, and Quil - are there too.
Cue vampire-werewolf solidarity
-Insert hundreds of headcanons about The Year of everyone trying to house train thirty-six buck wild baby vampires but this is already too long-
And The Year draws to an end and they did the impossible.
now where the f u c k do the fully grown and matured vampires go now
Some newborns are adopted into covens that helped “raise” them
Others go off by themselves and become solitary nomads
Others form covens among themselves and leave
Some take up the vegetarian diet
others don’t
During the year Bree Tanner and Diego (he’s alive), and Dean grow close to Rosalie and Emmet
the five create an entirely new coven
With Rosalie as the mother figure and Emmet as the father
Renesmee’s name is instead Carlie (a nod towards the canonical name but less gross) and she’s a newborn that develops a close relationship with Edward
They also adopt another newborn, Mason
Essentially Bella, Edward, Mason, and Carlie form a coven of their own and leave to start a new life
Alice and Jasper also adopted a newborn, Heather, and go off on their own
Don’t feel too bad for Carlisle and Esme, having to say goodbye to their adopted children
They adopted four newborns
Warren, Logan, Daniella, and May
Plus their older children visit quite often
Sometimes separately
Sometimes it’s a huge family reunion
Bella’s and Edward’s wedding happens at the very end when they’re all fairly certain she won’t massacre the human guests. Her supernatural beauty is passed off as god tier makeup and contacts
Oh, and Jacob doesn’t imprint on a baby!
Or on this version of her either
And they all lived happily ever after
Yes.

Au where Instead of Batman adopting Danny it’s Aquaman being a feral parent.
Like Arthur Curry would 100% see this dead child in line for the infinite realms throne and be like “that is mine thanks I’ll mentor him well” to “the government is treating your kind like how they treated my kind and I know just how to solve the problem.”
Cue the entire Justice League tackling Arthur so he can’t go murder the president while Batman explains to the media and government officials that if someone doesn’t get rid of the anti-ecto acts then they are going to be at war with the Antlantian People and the Justice League won’t be able to help them because the anti-ecto acts are a direct violation of what the Justice League stands for.
Danny would just be so confused but also just very content that the GIW are gone and that the ghost hunters who show up just get arrested immediately. He’d be completely oblivious of the fact that the nice hero he met that one time has practically decided that he is his child and would just have no clue about the amount of damage control the Justice League has to do so that Aquaman doesn’t outright start murdering people.
How did Phantom meet Aquaman?
Topo the Ectopus.
That’s how they met. For those of you who haven’t read the comics Topo was Aquaman’s sidekick.
His Octopus sidekick.
Topo was also a down right menace and I have no doubt that Topo would lead Danny on a merry chase all the way to Atlantis if that is what it took to get Danny and Arthur in the same room.
I find so much joy in the fact that this undead octopus would take one look at this undead child and be like “you need a parent don’t worry I know just the right guy for the job”.
So Aquaman’s bestie who he believed he’d never see again just shows up and is like I brought you a child, he is a good child :) .
Arthur would straight up break down and simultaneously swear on his life that he’s going to be the most loving parent to ever parent so his friend doesn’t have to worry. Danny would be confused cause “oh i guess he was your friend and wanted to come see you my bad I’ll go now nice to meet you underwater dude” and just have no context as to why this Atlantian is suddenly giving him advice and letting him know that he’ll come visit and that if he ever needs a place to go that he could come to Atlantis (Danny appreciates it cause honestly he’s had a really rough go at things lately and it’s very nice to just have someone just be really kind for once).
Thus starts the relationship of:
Phantom: this is my adult emotional-support-hero. He is my friend and role model
Aquaman: if you even look at my child I’ll drown you and no one will find your body
Their dynamic would be amazing and fit so well together. Way better then any of the other heroes just in terms of behaviour, situation, power-set, and experience.
ALRIGHT! 👏🏽 A prompt. (Or, well. A premise.) I’m schtealing a lot of worldbuilding from @mediumsizedpidegon‘s post here so bear with me please.
The Bats, however they catch wind of Amity, catch wind of Amity Park. Of course they do. Amity Park has a very distinct presence— Or, well, a lack of a presence. It may have an abundance of documented weirdness online, from folk stories to abandoned livestreams to concerning details in expats’ online blogs.
But there is no online evidence of Amity Park that leaves Amity Park.
So. What is a family of detectives to do when confronted with the need to gather physical evidence? Road Trip, baby!🏄🏽♂️🚗🚞🚡
Everyone hops in the car/Batplane and makes their way to Amity Park; they make hotel reservations, ring up the only reasonably rich enough people to even touch their social circle (the Manson family, and Vlad Masters, apparently), make an itinerary for all the documented tourist stops to hit up while in town off the town website, and prepare themselves for whatever dimensional weirdness is causing a complete tech blackout on the town and an inability to be found by satellite.
They get about ten feet into Amity proper when they meet the first local.
His name is Danny. He’s nice! Affable. He looks a lot like any other Wayne sibling, actually, if a little on the younger side. He notices it’s their first time in town. Do they need any help getting around?
Keep reading
Batman meets Danny a few times and is like "oh yes a new child" only for Danny to be the most slippery fucker known to man
It gets so bad, comms and new patrols for everyone, everything taken super serious, they would ask Superman as well but they don't wanna scare him off to hard
Even Alfred gets highly invested
Eventually the batkids start going after him out of costume as well, just full sprint at him
It all comes to a head when Bruce, mid Brucie interview, sees him across the street and proceeds to vault across the table and start sprinting after him, waving adoption papers
(I got some ideas how each kid got invested if y'all r interested)
Ever since Penguin had found that street rat and offered him a job his life had been on easy street.
The young man had been wearing a bandana over the bottom half of his face while cleaning the floors of one of his establishments when the bats came crashing in through a skylight, showering both of them in glass.
The fight began quickly after that, the man in his confusion threw one of the bats away from him, which turned out to be a mistake. They now saw him as a goon and began attacking him too.
Panicking, Danny didn't want to lose his job. He didn't want to go back to living on the streets...so he made a decision. He used his intangibility to run through one of the bats and grabbed penguin who was already handcuffed and subdued.
Then they were gone.
The bats checked their thermals, checked for energy readings, everything, but the two were gone.
Penguins new goon was a meta who could teleport. Worse. He may have just become the Penguins private bodyguard.
They were right of course. Penguin took care of his own and Danny adored being cared for. Cobblepot gave him whatever he wanted and the ghost felt he was in to deep to tell his boss no when it came to most jobs. He always did have a problem with giving his loyalty to people who didn't deserve it. His own parents were a testament to that...to think his death hadn't actually been an accident...
This continues with the bats trying to stop Penguins plots and trying to find a way to stop or investigate this new meta and coming up with nothing cause "Ghost" isn't even from thier multiverse.
This all changes though when Catwoman informs them that Phantom has a massive crush on Red Hood.
Everyone looks to Jason who refuses to play around with some guys heart. He's done a lot of messed up things but hes not that scummy. The others protest saying that's not what they wanted and Hood does eventually agree to meeting with the guy and is caught off guard by how excited the guy is to meet him.
He treats him like an actual hero. He insists that he is one. Danny then drops some of his own tragic backstory about his insane mad scientists parents who experimented on him and his sister thier whole lives with this green glowing death water and how it didn't do much until they murdered him and led him to believe it was an accident.
They thought he survived.
He didn't. Its one of the things he liked about Red Hood. He wasn't actually revived either.
Jason demanded to know what he meant, but Danny only responded, "You're one of us." Before vanishing again.
Jason is more than a little freaked out.
When Dan was released from his prison, he was ready to go toe to toe in a rematch with his past self. Instead he was handed a baby and guided to two toddlers by Clockwork. The Ancient of Time explained to him that his parents accidentally created a machine that de-aged ghosts. Now Danny and Ellie, as well as Jazz who was just liminal enough to be affected are all tiny tots without a place to go.
That's about all the explanation Dan gets before he's pushed through a portal and into an alley. Before Clockwork closes the portal he tells Dan "Single fatherhood may be tough but do not lose hope!"
Wait..... Single fatherhood!?
