Jazz x Jason Ghost Zone Wedding- DP x DC Worlds Collide Fan Zine Contribution
My piece for the @dpxdc-worldscollide zine!
This was thee most challenging piece I've worked on for the year (2024) but it was worth it! This was my first time participating in a fandom zine and I'm excited to be a part of it!
-------
Please check out all of the amazing art and fiction from the other artists and writers. There's so much passion and skill in this fandom!
Oh but Imagine Where this could Go!! Picture this:
For Some Reason, Danny is in Gotham (Maybe his Parents Dragged him and Jazz to a Ghost/Tech Convention, Maybe Jazz Started Attending Gotham Uni/Working at Arkham, Maybe he’s there to Help the Spirit of Gotham Regain some Energy, Maybe he’s there to Fix/Get Rid of the Lazarus Pit Beneath Gotham (that’s a thing right?), Maybe he’s just on Vacation, whatever) and he Runs into Jason.
They do the Spiderman Pointing meme cause “Hey you’re Dead!” And for Jason the Pit has Calmed down to the point of almost being Gone and it’s the Best he’s felt in Years while for Danny it’s like hearing a Baby Crying cause Jason’s Core is So Young/Unfinished/Deformed/Corrupted.
So they go to one of Jason’s Safehouses, and Danny opens a Portal and Calls on one of his New Kryptonian Guards, let’s call him Qyv-Ral (pulled from this Generator), and Asks him to Escort Jason to Frostbite in the Far Frozen for Healing. He Also Tells him that he can Contact Danny to come back here and Open the Portal for their Return once Jason is Healed (how exactly is Writers Choice idk atm). Danny would have Gone With them but he has Something to do in Gotham. All Parties agree, the Portal is Opened, Jason and Qyv-Ral Go Through, Danny Closes the Portal, and the Goes about his Day. Bonus Points for if they Never Refer to Danny by Any Name, except for the Very End where Qyv-Ral says something along the lines of “Farewell my King”. Bonus Bonus Points for Danny sounding very Menacing out of context.
Meanwhile Superman, who has been Listening in since he heard the name of the Kryptonian Guard, is Very Stressed because Who is Letting The Worst of the Worst Kryptonian Criminals Loose on Earth? He Immediately Calls Batman because this is Happening in Gotham of all places and The Bat is Immediately on Red Alert. He contacts All the Birds. Cue Panic when Red Hood Doesn’t Respond, no matter who calls (he usually at least responds to Babs or Dick Sometimes). The Bats come to The Only Possibel Conclusion: Jason has been Kidnapped by this new “King” of the Criminal Kryptonians (they are Wrong. In his Excitement to be Rid of the Pit Madness once and For All, Jason just didn’t think to Tell Anyone what was going on, adding to the Belief that he’s been Kidnapped by a Rouge Kryptonian haha oops)
That’s all I’ve got. I could see this being Either Anger Management (Jazz/Jason) Or Reddead (Danny/Jason) depending on how it gets written out if someone chooses to do so. Speaking of Which, Feel Free to Continue this!!! Just Tag me when you do cause I wanna see how this goes!! Especially if you take it to AO3!

Right, let's see... So, King Danny gets some housing complaints, some ghosts really are just spamming claims over non-ghost beings bothering them near their homes. So as the peacemaker he is, Danny simply goes there, a weird region of the Ghost zone really, they even named it differently because it wasn't green (among other odd quirks). He did find fun in the irony of it being called the "Phantom Zone". Anywho, the non-ghost beings there are obviously all the dangers the Justice League just doesn't deal with and dumps in that dimension. Staying in the Phantom zone for long enough (I'd say maybe a week) is sufficient enough for these beings to be considered "Infinite Realms" subjects despite not being dead. Like immigration or whatever. Dany, empathic enough due to the whole "stand out" and "odd ones out" mentality, takes all of them under his wing and in short adds them to his royal guard or other similar posts regarding their strengths.
So in short, you could say Danny was wrapped and gifted a bunch of Kryptonian soldiers for his already overpowered army.
May I add that the mentally deteriorating effects of the Phantom Region (as I'm calling it now) would probably affect the Kryptonians enough to view Danny as a divine savior after he pulled them out of madness and gave them purpose again? So they're probably very intense about their new positions and don't want to disappoint their king and grace in the slightest.
This becomes even more ridiculous if you want to ship Dan with Dick
DP x DC Soulmate au: “Cupid marks” are on people who lack their own soulmate mark, but this allows them to see the marks of others (even if hidden) and unite the unknowing pair.
Danny had a Cupid mark, it came about when everyone normally received their very own soulmate mark or for even more folks, got “nothing” aka invisible marks. Jazz was under the impression that she lacked a soulmate mark… Danny could tell that wasn’t the case but his science minded sister preferred it this way. And because Jazz deemed soulmate marks baseless fantasy, she never really tried to get Danny to reveal his own. She figured if he wanted to share it, he would’ve.
Danny isn’t a natural match maker per se, but that’s because he prefers the platonic route. The long con. Get em together, make em friendly and then only when sparks begin to fly tell them the truth. Hes still waiting for Sam and Tucker to realize and hit stage three. Hes pretty sure thats what makes them the best couple (and also his best friends).
But Danny moves off for college and suddenly it’s a big talk of every party he goes to that he’s a Cupid. He’d been trying to not get discovered for being a half a but honestly… maybe that would have been preferred. Now he can’t show up on campus with out couples showing up and demanding he tell them if they’re actually soulmates.
Getting a job and getting out of town helped but Danny’s a friendly enough guy, and his smarts get him pretty far in the industry alone… he never really loses his reputation as a Cupid but as he gets older a lot of people stop asking. (They’re afraid to be wrong, They stopped believing, etc…) Next thing he knows, he’s at a corporate event trying to get a free cocktail with his little mini rich person snacks (sam taught him enough French to pronounce them correctly at these things but he’ll if he’s gunna)- and his boss’s boss’s boss’s boss’s bodyguard comes flying through the window stopping a plot to assassinate his bos- CEO. The guy is huge and glass goes flying everywhere but Danny can’t help but notice a familiar shape on him. One Danny saw pretty much daily until he was 16 and his sister moved away for college.
Danny eventually gets his drink order called out but the CEO walks right over and takes it. He takes a big gulp and Danny thinks it’s like the guy is pretending to act scared- but Danny tries to put the weird acting choices out of his mind.
The CEO is the same age as him, Danny thinks, and next thing Tim Drake says is “sorry, I guess I owe you a drink.”
“Any chance your body guard wants to be the one to deliver it?” Danny doesn’t care about the implications but then the bodyguard is letting out a groan as the CEO snickers.
“I told you that the fit was Bi-conic Jayce”
“Oh wait, sorry, I just wanted to say that your soulmate mark-“ Danny starts and the two suddenly look at him with all mirth drained away from their very hawk like eyes.
“I don’t have one.”
“Uh here’s the thing, you do. And uh I know who it matches.” Danny throws it back in his face with an eye roll, why did his brother in law have to be an asshole?
“What does it look like?” The CEO asks, more curious now than alarmed. Something in his tired eyes still looks a little unhinged though.
“Like the front cover for a Vintage Frankenstein novel, his other half is a scientist and what- have you like died or something or is that just your sense of humor?” Danny tries to make light of it, but it really is a very bleak soulmate mark.
“Fuck you.” Is all the big guy says before walking away.
“Look why don’t we exchange information and try this again after-“ Tim tries to amend.
“Nope. No dice. He can fuck right off and never meet her, he’s totally not worthy.”
“Dude. Just tell me, I can find her and see the mark myself and then maybe-“
“Dude, No. not happening.”
And then, Danny leaves the party. He can tell he’s being trailed but… a little invisibility helps that.
Eventually he can’t go anywhere without hiding or using his powers but honestly, fuck those rich assholes. He can tell that they’ve caught on to him having powers because they’re getting better and better at trailing him. Tim Drake keeps sending fruit baskets and other novelties to his house to try and win him over (and honestly the well thought out notes are cute even if they’re for the wrong cause), but the problem starts once Jazz comes into town for a visit.
See, Tim Drake is also a Cupid, and the second he sees her leaving Danny’s apartment, a new game is on because of course he’s going to recognize it. And Danny might suspect this about Tim but right now he’s on damage control as basically a family with unlimited wealth has realized who Jazz is to this guy.
Here’s the thing- Jazz is in town to hang with Danny and, er, well, maybe make a deal with the Red Hood. She has good intentions for research but then suddenly they hit it off and…
Danny is trying to keep his identity as Phantom secret (and failing), trying to keep his sister from working with a criminal with “fascinating research data to contribute” or meet her supposed “soulmate” (if the universe could be trusted), trying not to uncover the Bats identities (they keep showing up dammit), and trying not to fall in love with Tim Drake.
It’s enough slices.
