I'M SO SCARED FOR APRIL 8th

The final chapter of “The Ghost King” is now up! The story is complete. The series has one more story left to tell, however…

Series Link: “The Captain and the King”

Chapter 3 Summary: After the big reveal, John and Danny share a meal. Life moves on.

“So tell me, how did you find Billy in the first place?”

Danny thoughtfully looked out into the courtyard, before turning back to face John. “I was on my way back to Sam’s place from classes, and I happened to see him transform in an alley. I was shocked, so I invisibly followed him home. When I saw that he was living alone in an abandoned apartment, it broke my heart. I watched him that night as he ate a pitiful bit of leftover food from somewhere, and carefully stashed the rest in a hidey-hole. Then he climbed on his bare mattress and covered up with a threadbare blanket to sleep. It reminded me so much of the days before my high school graduation, when I lived like that; I just couldn’t let it go. I couldn’t bear to see another child hero suffer like that. He just reminded me so much of myself.

After my parents found out that I had died, and that I was the ‘hero’ protecting the town from their mistakes, they kicked me out of the house. I lived on the streets for almost two months and didn’t tell anyone because I was so ashamed, and I was afraid my secret would get outed. I’m sure Billy feels the same.”

“Damn, kid. That sounds rough. Now I can see why you took to the boy. You said you were a child hero before your parents discovered your secret. If you don’t mind me asking, how long were you were a ghost before they noticed?”

Danny’s face clouded. “Three and a half years.”

“How did they miss that their kid was dead for three and a half years?!?”

“They cared more about their work than they cared about me and my sister. It was that way my whole life. My sister was the one who practically raised me. It doesn’t matter anymore…” Something told John that it did, but he wasn’t about to call out the Ghost King on personal matters.

“….Besides, I have the ability to pass as a human when I want to. It’s how I finished high school and got into college.”

“I thought you went to some kind of ghostly college.”

“No way, dude! Didn’t you read ‘Harry Potter’?? Dead teachers are the worst. They are soooo boring. That’s one of the few things the books got right.” A polite cough sounded from the side of the room. “Uh, ghostly mentors, on the other hand, are fantastic! It’s just…ghostly learning institutions that I don’t care for.” Danny’s hand went to the back of his neck and started rubbing it sheepishly. Now he looked more like the ghost that John had met in the park.

I can't believe this game isn't a fanfic

Brucie Wayne dancing naked while being screamed at by the Penguin sure is something

a DIRECT rip from chapter 5 of "straight on 'til morning" by @mamawasatesttube aka one of my most beloved favorite Kon fics of all time <3 ID in alt text!

The history of corporate propaganda.

'Nobody wants to work' fails to mention the poverty wages and horrible workplaces.

Reframe the narrative: Capitalists refuse to pay thriving wages.

DC x DP Fic idea: The Bakery is a Front!...right?

Danny Fenton starts his own business in Gotham. He knows that moving to Gotham is dangerous in a way, but it is the only other place with enough natural ectoplasm that can sustain him.

He wanted to move away from Amity Park to start on a clean slate. His parents now knew the truth, and to show their support, they were turning their research into a more sociological base instead of biological- I.E. ripped ghosts apart. Jaz got accepted into her dream college- Oxbridge. She moved overseas and is doing well in her advanced physiological courses. They told their parents of Dani, who promptly adopted her and signed her up for a traveling club under the condition she returned home for school.

The ghosts stopped challenging him after he explained Amity was his haunt and that it was bad manners to spar inside a haunt. He is open game in the ghost zone, but Danny got to choose when to go in there- his obsession requires him to defend something, so defending weaker ghosts in the Zone was a good option.

Danny always wanted to be an astronaut, but his teenage vigilante lifestyle ruined his chances- it isn't even his grades. It's a fact Danny's heart is so slow due to his ghost side it is mistaken as a heart condition. No space program would ever send him up with that. Danny decided that he would instead go with his second joy- baking. He opened Phantom Bakes in his second week in Gotham using funds from his Ghost King vault.

He served everyone and asked no questions. He was mostly sure half of his customers were gang members, but he didn't start anything and didn't allow any fights in his bakery. He became a sort of haven for everyone. He even began preparing packs for people experiencing homelessness, and bought the building next door to put some heating systems for anyone to sleep In during the winter.

Despite his obsession with protection, his human side made it possible for him to ignore it. He decided that his teenage years were spent too much giving in to his obsession and that in his twenties, he would retire. He did nothing while the various Bats threw themselves into battle, he turned a blind eye to petty crimes and basically tried not to bring any attention to himself.

He managed about six months until he accidentally walked through a cloud of fear gas while texting Sam and Tucker. His friends were tying the knot- the fact they all were best friends and exes was only slightly strange- and he was so focused on helping them plan the wedding as their Best Man he didn't hear the gasps, and horrified yells until he ran into Scarecrow.

He apologized for not looking where he was going and got a needle shoved unto his arm as a response. Danny's reflex to that was to punch the man a foot away from him.

The Bats quickly locked up the villain, and Danny decided he needed to be gone as fast as possible. He tried to return to his everyday life, but the next day, some of Scarecrow's goons showed up at his bakery asking him for work....so he hired them and taught them to make pastries. Then those goons brought over some friends who needed work but were recovering addicts and couldn't find employment.

He added coffee to his menu and threw them into that. Then some street kids asked if he would buy some stuff from them. Danny told them that he wasn't interested in car parts, but he was interested in furniture for the building next door. He had kids bringing in broken bookshelves, bed frames, and much more, paying them far more than the shady garages would.

Then some shady groups of men kept coming to his bakery asking for money for protection but Danny can protect himself just fine and proved it every single time a group made trouble.

He started having the streey kids make deliveries hoping to get them out of life of crime.

He made natural ectoplasm which, after much testing and research done by his parents, proved to clean out dangerous substances from the body. He made unique pastries that could help overcome addiction and heal withdraw.

He saw the light slowly return to the eyes of a drug-ridden community, and it brought him so much joy he barely charged for them.

Unknown to Danny, he has set himself as a up and coming villain. Rumors of his Fear Gas immunity attracted the attention of the Joker- who was found with all limbs broken, beaten black and blue after the clown tried to take a swing at Danny's employees. The baker had taken his broken body back to Arkharm, dragging the bleeding man through the streets uncaring of the line of red he left or the various people recording him in awed fear.

The rest of Gotham waited to see his true colors as he carefully built a front and gathered people. Some want to take him out as soon as possible.

Red Hood, most of all, after he heard that Danny had kids run special deliveries to know addicts. The only reason he hadn't blown his brains out was because Danny hadn't set himself up in crime alley.

The Bats had even talked him into joining an undercover mission to learn more about Danny. They didn't know what drugs he was moving or if he had a hand in other crimes, and needed more information that Oracle was unable to find.

She couldn't pull anything on Danny, driving her insane. (Techus erased Danny from the internet as a prank once and forgot to undo it.)

That led to Jason and Tim entering Phantom Bakes, acting like street kids who ran away from a homophobic father looking for a job.

Danny had them decorate cupcakes within the hour, letting them know he didn't expect them to crunch out masterpieces. They knew it would be a while to see Danny's real business so they bite thier tongues and got to work.

Tim just hopes they finish this mission before Jason snaps and shoots their main suspect....or before Danny romances the entire of Gotham because, goddammit, he has as much game as Brucie pretends to have. It's getting frustrating to see so many people throwing themselves at him, only for Danny to pretend not to notice. His good looks, charming personality, and carefully manipulated cover, drag good people into his schemes. He didn't want another Harley Quinn.

(He will ignore that his heart skips a beat whenever Danny gets too close. Thank you very much. It's just a crush; people get those all the time.)
