For those curious about what the GolBaby would look like, I have been dropping some lovely hints here and there, but to confirm one thing.
Each au is a genetic roulette.
And yes, I will use my dnd dice to determine how human or eldritch creature of worldly destruction the GolBaby will be.
Natural 1 | 100% Human
Natural 20 | That world is sooo dunzo as the golbaby could possibly destroy it if it felt like it.
Let's start with other AUs before we get to vanilla old man Simon.
| First, Simone from Fionna's universe. |
Tumblr media
| Next, Winter king from the... loose swap universe? |
Tumblr media
| Next, Ice King from a universe where Simon wasn't cured from the crown. (Or the identity crisis au, your pick) |
Tumblr media
| Next, Ice Prince AND Freezer Simon because WHY TF NOT! (Ice Dice is IP and dark galaxy dice is FS) |
Tumblr media
| Next is apocalypses Simon because silver fox needs a baby too. |
Tumblr media
| Next is Ice President because whydoyouguyswanthimpreggers!? |
Tumblr media
| And last, Vanilla Simon. |

Answering both of these asks by @latvian-spider and @crazysaru99 cus they're both on the same topic: "How does Bai He feel about her baby sister Yuebei being the reincarnation of the Lady Bone Demon that possessed her?"
Tumblr media Tumblr media
2nd ask translated via google:
"How will Bai He react to Yuebei? Would Yuebei have self-esteem issues with LBD vestiges? The family will have a long way to go to tell her that it is not Ella..."
Bai He was initally excited to be having a new little sister. Depending on the au; Yuebei and the Lunar Node Twins are either the first baby siblings Bai He has, or they come after the Eclipse Twins like in the current plan for "The Monkey King and the Infant" au.
But when it became clear that Yuebei could be the reincarnation of the horrid ice/bone demon that possessed Bai He for multiple months and nearly destroyed the whole world/her family?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bai He doesn't take it well.
She already felt so weak and useless before from LBD's machinations. Now she has to live with a tiny version of her? >:P
She focuses her attention on her two baby brothers (Jidu and Luohou) instead. They're not reincarnated demons after all (she hopes). Bai He feels her resentment grow each time Yuebei cries for their parents. And even begins to hate her baby sister when she begins developing an affinity for ice and bone magic.
Macaque and Wukong are understanding of course, like with MK, they don't expect Bai He to just forget what happened with the Lady Bone Demon. But, Bai He is having her own crisis of power/identity after learning of her true origins (spoilers sshh!).
Eventually the drama from Bai He's crisis, and a manipulative villain, spill over until Bai He is left with an optimal chance to *get rid* of this intruder from her life.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But like the example above: Bai He simply cannot do it. Yuebei is a baby. She doesn't have the capacity for malice that a thousands-year old demoness would. Once the danger has passed, Bai He runs back to her family, Yuebei clutched firmly in her arms.
Later when the family are all back relaxing on Flower Fruit Mountain: Shadowpeach are holding the little ones while, Yuebei in Wukong's arms starts spouting small wisps of frost from her hands in a clapping motion.
Bai He: *watching Yuebei quietly* Wukong, holding Yuebei: "She gets that from you, you know." Bai He: "Huh?" Wukong: "Clap your hands when you want to use your powers. You've done it since you were six. You saw a superhero do it on tv and wanted to be like them. She also pounces on her toys like a kitten does." Bai He: "..." Macaque, holding the Lunar Node twins, is aware of the earlier drama: "Yuebei might not understand a lot of things just yet, but she knows that she has a pretty great family - and a really cool big sister. One that she looks up too and knows for sure will never hurt her." Bai He: "...I love her so much." (´༎ຶ ͜ʖ ༎ຶ )♡ *covers Yuebei's face in kisses* Yuebei: *delighted babbling* Wukong & Macaque: *are both delighted too*
Bai He starts taking Yuebei with her to kitten therapy sessions with Uncle Sandy, so that they can catch up on lost bonding time.
It's angsty and sappy I know. :')

Timekeeper's assistants AU
Alright y'all! This is gonna be my info dump post for the Timekeepers assistant Au- buckle up cause it's gonna be a long one!
Inspired by @queendibz post here
The entire purpose of the assistant squad is to keep all the time lines running smoothly- this can range from stopping a world ending event to making sure things misplaced by natural ghost portals get put back into the right time and place.
So First up on the crew list,
Dan:
-Dan definitely isn't a homicidal maniac anymore but he's not 100 percent "redeemed" either.
-I mean he's probably still a bit of sadist but he tries not to be?
-The best description I can give is that he's in recovery, basically.
-So, Clockwork knew that Dan would eventually bust out of the thermos just because it wasn't built to hold a ghost of his power level for a prolonged period of time. But beyond that?? He has no idea about anything in regards to Dan. Since Dan's creation was averted, his timeline doesn't exist anymore. He's a paradox that exists outside of time, and unfortunately, that means he's the one entity in the multiverse that exists in Clockwork's blindspot. There's no way for him to know what Dan's going to do next.
-Anyway, Dan eventually breaks out of the thermos fully intending to Fuck Shit Up, And Clockwork makes a point of informing him that if he leaves the clock tower he will cease to exist. (Like Dan, the tower exists outside of time, so he's safe there.)
-Dan is the first member of the assistant squad. Granted, it took a while for him to come around to the idea of helping Clockwork but he got there eventually.
-Dan is an entity that was born out of the rage and grief of two very broken people and he has so much shit he's working through as a result
-One of the first things he had to do was recognize and accept that he's an entity that's completely separate from Vlad and Danny. He might have all their memories and the weight of their mistakes on his shoulders, and on top of that, the atrocities he himself committed because of them. The first step is realizing that he doesn't have to be defined by the people that made him.
-It's a really fucking difficult thing to do tho and he's got a lot of weird emotions in regards to Vlad, Danny and the Fentons as a result. A near constant identity crisis, self loathing, daddy issues, something that could arguably be called an Oedipus complex, (FUCKING THANKS, VLAD)
-Cannot stand the smell of fast food, it makes him nauseous and the sight of Nasty Burger sauce alone is enough to make him vomit Ectoplasm.
-He's just a hot mess all around y'all
-He tries to keep his interactions with the Danny's as minimal as possible at first bc of this. The first time he meets them in person he shape shifts into Danny like he did in TUE and just pretends to be one of them. Some of them have had interactions with their respective Dan's already and would be super wary of him and probably pretty freaked out otherwise.
-Dan is eventually allowed to leave the clocktower for supervised "Field missions" with the aid of a time medallion to keep him from poofing out of existence, but it takes a while for clockwork to build up that level of trust.
-Dan's shapeshifting ability Actually comes into play a bit on a lot of those missions, since he can Mimic Danny it also makes sense that he'd be able to impersonate Vlad in the same way. Granted he's not incredibly comfortable taking on either of their appearances but it does help him hone his shapeshifting ability to the point where he's able to pick and choose features from both Vlad and Danny and sorta make his own human disguise.
-Most of the time he acts as the eye in the sky from the tower, monitoring for timeline anomalies and then notifying the appropriate member of the assistant squad.
-He has a room under the clock tower that he operates from. I kinda like the idea of there being like, catacombs down there? Anyway he's got all kinds of monitors and view screens and he very rarely leaves. It also doubles as his "living space." He doesn't need to sleep but he's got a big mess of a pillow fort that he crashes in regardless bc sometimes you just NEED to be unconscious for a while. The catacombs are also absolutely full of those little blob ghosts that wander around the zone bc They're attracted to the ecto energy the tower gives off. He's really annoyed by them at first but they grow on him after a while and now he just dotes on them.
-There's a specific throw pillow sized one that likes to hang out in Dan's room a lot and he ended up getting a little over attached to the stupid thing. His name is Dorian. Bc he's a gift.
-SIR THATS MY EMOTIONAL SUPPORT BLOB
-Dan's appearance has changed slightly. He wears his hair loose now and it's kinda just this big fiery mane when it's not contained. His cape is more of a cloak now, it has a hood and he wears it sorta pinned together at the shoulder so the DP logo is covered.
-Dan's relationship with the rest of the Danny's is kinda weird, and a little strained. He has a hard time being around them for very long because, well, he used to sort of be them? Except not really? He does care about them tho, and the last thing he'd want is for one of them to end up like him.
-His relationship with clockwork definitely starts out pretty familial, after he becomes his assistant, anyway. There's room for that to develop into meddling minutes but I'm not entirely sure if I'm gonna go that route yet.
-The Danny's only ever hear his voice for a while before he finally let's them meet him for real, so they end up calling him Charlie for a while as a joke. Cause Ya know. Charlie's angels. Even after Charlie still ends up being his designated name on missions.
Mer! Danny:
-Was recruited bc a lot of the shit that gets sucked through natural portals ends up in a body of water somewhere and when that happens he's on call to retrieve it.
-Is Actually not at all ghostly! Mer Danny's situation is basically the plot of H2O (just add water), or if you haven't seen that, Aquamarine. And by that I mean he's only a merfolk in water.
-He's an electric eel
-His Jack and Maddie are marine biologists, with a particular interest in marine cryptids
-We're taking sea monsters baby!!!
-Not entirely sure how this Danny ended up half mer yet but I'll figure it out, lmao.
-14 years old
-His nickname/ designation is "Moray"
Crown Prince! Danny:
-Nickname/designation is Prince / Princey
-16 years old
-Not allowed to go anywhere in the zone without the Fright knight bc of some ancient ghost law bullshit, so he has a constant babysitter.
-He's next in line bc he sealed away Pariah, but can't take the throne until he is both, A) at least 18 years and B) Completely deceased
-Vlad is his Regent bc he did have a part in the whole sealing the previous king thing, but he's also not completely dead so his power is super limited there.
-As Prince Danny has the crown of fire in his ghost form, although now the name is kinda ironic seeing as it's completely frozen over. It's blue now and it smokes like dry ice.
-As Regent, Vlad has the ring of rage for "safe keeping"
-Vlad and Danny are pretty much constantly at each other's throats, fright knights probably had to shut down more than a few of Vlad's attempts to usurp the crown from Danny through combat.
-Princey deals with the timeline issues that involve the ghost zones' internal / political affairs, and he's gotten very well versed with dealing with the Observants.
Winged! Danny :
-15 years old
-Mallard duck wings
-His Vlad is a swan
-Comes from a family of waterfowl, Jack is a goose, and Maddie is a white swan. Both he and jazz are ducks bc of their grandparents.
-As Fenton his wings are white, like jazz, and as phantom they turn black with a green iridescent sheen.
-He's trans
-Nickname/ designation is inviso Bill. Bc ducks have bills haha get it-
-Ghostly wail?? Nah son he's gotta killer QUACK
-Absolute besties with Mer!Danny/ Moray, sometimes they go swimming together after a mission.
Clone! Danny:
-Physically he's a 12-year-old, but he's only been alive for a few months.
-Alt universe where Vlad manages to stabilize the perfect clone with his own DNA.
-Dani still exists, and the original danny from his time line also rescued the other problematic clones.
-Doesnt like the fact that he's a clone, and very much wants them all DEAD. Bc them running around is a reminder that he's not the real danny.
-Human half looks the same aside from the widows peak and the mallen streak. His ghost half takes after plasmius. Blue skin, and the Hazmat kept it's original white colors.
-Probably has fangs and a forked tounge.
-Not so much a member of the squad as he is someone that they need to be keeping an eye on.
-Does NOT get along with them.
-Dan enjoys making him uncomfortable.
-Designation is Masters / the brat (not to his face tho)
Family Breakfast AU! Danny:
-A BABY
-The boy is a fucking overpowered todler okay. He's an 8 year old.
-The biological son of his Vlad, was born a Halfa. Jack, Vlad and Maddie got their shit together and are in a healthy poly relationship.
-Got separated from Vlad one time in the zone and inadvertently adopted by the assistant squad and clockwork.
-His Vlad is aware of the squad and just. Dad's the crap out of the Danny's as a result. It makes for some..... interesting interactions.
-I can't think of a nickname so I'm just gonna be lazy and say he gets to be the one Tru Danny bc cute little kind privileges lmao.
Full ghost! Danny:
-15 years old, will always look 14.
-Nickname/designation is Toast
-Died in the portal accident and got fucking FRIED.
-He always smells like somethings burning.
-He's really bright and sorta sparks a bit, you can see his bones glowing through the hazmat.
-He still leave the zone to protect his version of amity, but lives with clockwork full time.
Canon Danny (NOT PHANTOM PLANET COMPLIANT) :
-Basically show Danny, except phantom planet never happened fuck you
-Joined the crew after the events of de stabilized
-Also he's trans fuck butch
-Franken! Danny
-Yall remember that Headless Danny Au? This is my take.
-Is Actually 20 years old, but physically stuck at age 14. Bc he's a walking corpse :)
-Came from a timeline that was directly parallel to Full ghost! Danny. He dies in the portal accident, but jack and Maddie are in the lab when it happens and manage to sort of bring him back using a combination of science and freaky ghost junk.
-So he's basically possessing/ stuck inside of his own dead body. Which, is thankfully not rotting or going into rigor mortis bc Ectoplasm is rather similar to formaldehyde, but he's not the most durable thing and bits and pieces fall off from time to time.
-Like his head. For example.
-He's pretty desensitized to it at this point and if he loses a leg after a ghost fight he doesn't see anything wrong with sitting down on the curb of a main street to stich it back on. His being dead isn't exactly a secret.
-Don't ever ask him to "give you a hand" bc he can and will not hesitate to pop one off and Chuck it at you.
-Said hand and any other body part will continue to function just fine even if it isn't attached to anything, btw.
-Nickname/ designation is Adam. Bc. Ya know. that's the name Frankenstein's monster gave itself.
Post Phantom Planet! Danny:
-A very jaded 22 year old who is driven only by spite and enough caffeine to kill a horse
-Very, very tired of the hero thing.
-Being a global celebrity isn't all it's cracked up to be.
-Decided to follow Vlads lead and fuck off to space for a while. Partially to get away from everyone and also partially bc he kinda feels responsible for the fact that the only other person like him and probably floating DEAD in the void somewhere? And yeah Vlad fucked up all on his own but what if he'd tried harder to get through to him things could have been different-
-Joins the crew after a natural portal opens up in space and decides to help out and use clockworks resources to try and track down his Vlad.
-Nickname/ Designation is Polaris, aka the north star.

……….alright I can’t take it what’s I Am Macaque about I need answers Knox
OKAY, so this one jttw and is actually based off of the idea of Macaque being a part of Wukong or whatever, so just platonic in this au skmdafew (if dis ain't your speed, that's totally okay skip right on over ksdmofawe <3)
So! Uh, this is a canon divergence thing so that instead of straight up bashing Macaque's head in the moment he gets the chance, Sun Wukong actually just snatches him and zooms away and gives him a chance to just... become his own person.
Macaque, who just found out he is not, in fact, the real Sun Wukong is having several identity crisis (cause when I read it, it seemed like he was genuinely confused when he found out he wasn't Monkey King lol, so I'm leaning into that) and to find out he's everything bad about the person in front of him? Yeah okay, he wants him to just get rid of him because he should hate all the bad parts of himself, right? Except I guess in this AU Wukong's a little more emotionally mature and doesn't hate him. Or himself and even invites him to come on the journey.
Macaque declines cause one Sun Wukong is already one too many and goes off to do his own thing while Wukong goes back on the journey telling him to come find him and if he causes any trouble he'll be back. Which yeah aight, makes sense.
Anyway, away from Sun Wukong Macaque starts to become his own person and then there's this whole other thing that happens and klsdmfa;oef
It's not very well thought through and has the theme of loving yourself and becoming someone good even if everything about yourself seems stacked against you.
At some point the JTTW crew comes to find Macaque cause some demon snatched Sun Wukong and Macaque gets the chance offered by said demon to replace Sun Wukong and take his life back. And that's a great scene lol ksdmfoaefw
It's so hard not to give the whole mcfreaking fic of this one because this entire scene freaking SLAPS but here's a large bit klmsdfowe
“You could take his place,” they whispered in his ear.
Macaque’s eyes widened abruptly and he froze. He stared at Wukong’s face--his face.
“No one would even notice the difference,” they whispered liltingly. “They didn’t the first time.”
He couldn’t tear his eyes away and for a moment he couldn’t tell where his reflection ended and Wukong’s face began.
“You could walk out of here and tell them all about the Six-Eared Macaque’s sacrifice. Go on the journey that you should be on, with the people you should be with and no one would be any the wiser.
“I would keep Sun Wukong here, and we would both get what we want.”
His eyes focused on his own reflection, and he saw little differences. He had darker circles under his eyes. His eyes seemed to be a slightly different colour and the edges of his fur had gotten darker.
He didn’t have anything, or anyone. But he had himself. He wasn’t just a carbon copy of everything bad in someone else. He was becoming someone, becoming himself. He didn’t need a life that had never belonged to him. He closed his eyes.
“You know,” he said, opening them again, and giving his reflection a grimacing smile. “I think I’m good.”
He slammed his fist into his reflection.
The demon screamed.
Cracks spiderwebbed all around him, and he looked back to see Wukong’s eyes blown open wide, staring at him through the cracked ice.
Then the wall holding him shattered.

Do you have any fic recs... you seem like a good connoisseur of like, that particular brand of thought-provoking gorgeous writing style holy crap I can’t believe someone wrote this intricate, delicate piece of fiction for free stuff. I don’t even care if it’s like about Pixar Cars I trust your taste fully on this. Asking for a friend.
Boy do I totally have exactly what you asked for. Below are recs largely from fandoms where I have had either zero or minimal engagement with the source material but whose authors I’d trust with my life. In no particular order: 
1. In the spirit of your Pixar Cars joke, this Transformers fic by the peerless astolat that will leave you stunned the robot cars didn’t bone when they are so clearly in love. If you like that one you should read the Victory Condition, same fandom and author; someone correctly commented that its the next Great American Novel and only we on this site will ever know
2. One of my absolute favourite written works ever which I will never stop recommending is The Book of Secrets by Are; Downton Abbey, prickly gay evil butler with a heart of gold, vain handsome footman undergoing a deep crisis of identity. Are introduces psychological complexity and richness to the fairly bland Jimmy character, and as tumblr user maiden once remarked, making good fanfiction for bad tv shows IS the noblest of women’s works, this generation’s Bayeux tapestry. If you like that you should definitely read Hauntsverse (the Enchanted Life of Thomas Barrow has the kind of pacing & action & thematically + narratively satisfying conclusion in its last third that Christopher Nolan dreams of)
3. Also still really like this Rave footballer RPF fic of Christiano Ronaldo and Kaka where Ronaldo is a half-demon and Kaka is a priest. Love a good crisis of faith story. I do not follow football and have no dog in the RPF discourse war but Rave is just a lush brilliant humorous writer 
4. User Fahye literally held the real estate deeds to my ass for the longest time, they’re prolific and have done some excellent work in the Untamed and Yuri on Ice fandoms in particular, but two niche works that deserve to be mentioned: Single Use Weapon, a fealty fic set in a tiny modern day kingdom. Monarch is in love with the childhood friend turned mercenary who must protect his king. And then this enjolras / grantaire fic that I’ve probably outgrown since I don’t have the tolerance for prolonged angst anymore, but when I did, this was the one I kept returning to   
5. Syllic sent me down an entire Merlin/Arthur phase with Three Tasks (if you like this you should check out the rest of their works + astolat’s entire Merlin body of work, Crown of the Summer Court is widely regarded as one of the best fanworks ever ever ever)
6. Some anon very long ago recommended An Ever Fixed Mark, which is a soulmates AU of Pride and Prejudice. The author AMarguerite does some beautiful well-researched world-building here and completely transports you to the regency era, I learned all about the Ton. But importantly this series is juicy and funny and full of heart. It’s also choose your own adventure -- what if Lizzie had ended up with Colonel Fitzwilliam? Or the literal actual Duke of Wellington? Staunch supporters of Mr. Darcy may rest easy seeing as there is a 100K+ story dedicated to Darcy/Lizzie but there’s also two separate what-ifs; the one where Lizzie shacks up with the Duke of Wellington is, for my money, the best 
7. Passion & Profession starring Marcus Aquila of The Eagle (2011) and YES Jamie Bell EXCEPT as St John Rivers from Jane Eyre. Follows St John’s adventures after he sets for Calcutta -- and lives, because he has his big gay awakening with a buff handsome crippled soldier. Beautiful story, St John is a drama queen, really liked the portrayal of British Raj era West Bengal here. As I said, I love a good crisis of faith fic, and the conversation St John has with a cheerful gay reverend near the climax of the fic is one of the favourite back and forths on religion and gay love ever 
8. This fix-it Snowpiercer fic where Yona and Timmy survive and find an underground society....sci-fi levels of intricate and bold world-building  
9. Another fix-it because I’ve recently been obsessed with Avatar where Neytiri is the one chosen by the elder tree to become Toruk Makto and save her people; same author has written a 34K slow burn between Trudy and Grace that I’m dying to read 
10. Some original works that have recently been on my mind: 
For King & Country, I’m following Part 2 of this masterful series with bated breath; insecure mage hates his handsomer more charismatic more talented rival, unaware said rival has been in love with him for aaages. 
This weird short lovely thing where a thief rides across a desert nearly dies and is saved by the mute solar deity whose temple he is about to rob. Love an unexpected story that makes me re-read looking for clues and subtext and details I may have missed 
This horror fic about how a group of people on an online forum for analyzing a Tolkein-like children’s series meet up IRL to discuss the author’s alleged descent into madness and unlock the mystery behind his last seemingly nonsensical book. As you say I cannot believe people write this stuff for free
Hollycomb is a legend and my heart pangs with every re-read of this paranormal coming of age fic....wistful & lovely 
And my bookmarks for further reference. If you end up reading anything from this list let me know!!!!!

I introduce to you to my "Ice King regains all his memories of being Simon but doesn't stop being Ice King, leading to a major identity crisis" AU.
Detailed AU premise below:
I haven't been able to stop thinking about this AU for weeks now, so here it goes.
AU where Betty learns about Prismo, and goes to the time room so she can wish Simon/Ice King to remember everything.
But uh-oh! She wasn't specific enough, leading to a monkey's paw situation where Simon/Ice King does regain all his memories but is still Ice King.
All the magic, madness and sadness is still there, only now he can remember his past. Meaning he now understands exactly where all his misery comes from and why he's the way he is.
He's no longer completely oblivious to why his life is so messed up, and the worst part is- he can't just make peace with it. He's not the person he was as Simon, but he also vividly remembers being Simon and knows everybody wants him to be just like Simon again. But how?? He doesn't posses Simon's intellect or kindness or maturity. He doesn't enjoy almost anything Simon does, and now things that brought him comfort and happiness as Ice King are permanently tainted. Ice King likes to write fanfictions? Well Simon published actual books. You get the gist.
It's very angsty and idk how it would go really I just like making myself sad. If anyone wants to write a fic about this you have my blessing.

Chapter 16: Identity Crisis
“Just stop running!” Jazz growled, underlining the statement with a shot of golden ectoplasm. The ghost they were chasing, deer-like but with dangerously curled antlers, bounded over the blast. It didn’t slow.
“We just need to pin it!” Danny focused on the cold of his core, freezing the asphalt in front of the ghost.
It unfurled a pair of feathered wings and leapt over the ice altogether. How had he missed those before?
“Urgh!” Jazz put on a bit more speed, and Danny matched her. They’d been chasing this one ghost for forever. It wasn’t particularly dangerous, but that didn’t mean it could run free in Amity!
Something hit him in the back of the head, and hard. He swore, immediately coming to a dead stop, and grabbed the offending object.
Silver and green, sleek, the shape undeniably like a boomerang. Well, not just a boomerang. The Booo-merang.
But the Fentons hadn’t invented it in this dimension, had they? So then where had this one come from…?
“Danny!”
A pair of arms—warm and heavy—wrapped around his neck, dragging him down to the street the rest of the way. He spluttered as another pair joined the first, the Booo-merang clattering on the floor.
“Sam?” he asked, blinking at his friends. “Tucker?”
“Who else?” Tucker asked, laughing. There were tears in his eyes. “We’re not alone, anyway.”
Danny barely got a moment to consider that before a third pair of arms joined the embrace. A head pressed down on his shoulder, long hair itchy in his neck. “Hey little brother. We missed you.”
“I… I missed you too.” He twisted his head just far enough to see Jazz. His Jazz. His core hummed loud in his chest, so powerful he was sure everyone else could feel it rumbling. His eyes felt wet. “I missed all of you so much. I was—” His breath caught in his throat, but he pushed through. “I was so afraid that I would never see you guys again.”
“Like we’d ever give up on you,” Sam muttered into his collarbone. “Come on, Fenton, you know better than that.”
“It’s just… It’s been so long.” He sniffled, surreptitiously. “I was just… scared. That you couldn’t find me.”
“Sooner or later, we would’ve found you.” Jazz ruffled his hair, and Danny couldn’t even be annoyed about it. Not really. “We’re your family, Danny. We wouldn’t give up on you like that.”
He knew that. He’d known that all along. But not giving up on him and actually being able to find him were two very different things. “How’d you guys get here, anyway?” he asked, caught somewhere between laughter and tears. “I didn’t think you’d be able to come here.”
The sound of a throat clearing. Danny looked up, and saw… white fur, an arm of ice and bones, the cool glow of the ice ghosts that had trained him. In the unfrozen arm, the ghost held a rather familiar map.
“Frostbite,” he greeted, and now he fell over the edge into laughter, even if his tears didn’t quite stop. “Of course. That makes sense!”
He flapped his mostly-free arm, and when Frostbite hesitated, gestured even more impatiently. “This wouldn’t have been possible without you, Frostbite. Come on!”
“Well, if you insist, Great One.” The ghost landed, soundlessly, and shuffled closer. When he seemed uncertain how to approach the group hug, Sam and Tucker reached out and dragged him the rest of the way.
Frostbite was big enough to wrap his arms around all four of them, one arm soft and the other hard, but neither of them as freezing cold as one might’ve expected.
“Thank you,” Danny said, and he wasn’t sure which of them he was talking to. All of them, maybe. “I don’t know what I would’ve done without all of you.”
“You wouldn’t have had to,” Jazz assured him, quietly. “We would’ve found you, no matter what.”
His core rumbled louder. Danny was sure they could all hear it, could all feel it, now. “I was—” Scared. “I was worried,” he settled for instead. “That you’d never find me. It’s been a while.”
“Yeah.” Tucker clapped him on the back without unwrapping his arms. “Your parents were worried, dude.”
Oh god, his parents. How was he going to explain this to them?
“Danny?” Jazz asked, except— it didn’t come from next to him.
He jerked, remembering— Whoops. Looked up, right at Specter’s frowning golden eyes.
“Jazz.” He grinned, sheepishly, ignoring the way everyone’s arms tightened around him. “Uh. My family dropped by?”
“I noticed. But maybe you guys should continue this conversation somewhere out of everyone’s sight?” She shook the Thermos in her hand. “I got the ghost, by the way, no thanks to you.”
“I helped tire it out, that counts.” He patted Frostbite’s furry arm. “Can you carry Sam and Tucker for me?”
The ghost nodded, uncurling his arms from around them. “It would be my pleasure. Lady Sam, Sir Tucker?”
“I don’t know how I feel about those titles,” Tucker grumbled, lightheartedly, as he pulled away from the hug pile as well. “I think I finally understand your dislike of Sir Phantom.”
“Same.” Sam stepped away as well, wrapping her hand around Frostbite’s offered arm instead.
Jazz sighed, stepping up next to him. “I can’t believe I’ve been replaced by a little half-ghost version of myself.”
“If it helps, she’s taught me about the pains of being the oldest sibling.” He wrapped an arm around her waist, lifting her up carefully. “Jazz—Specter—lead the way?”
“Just a rooftop?” She nodded, rising up higher, and pointed at a nearby building. “We’ll be out of sight right up there.”
All of them flew up, Specter in the lead, with Frostbite and Danny right behind her. The moment they touched down, Sam and Tucker let go of Frostbite, and Danny put Jazz down again.
“So… they found you?” Specter guessed, eyes wandering over the gathered crowd.
“They found me,” Danny confirmed, grinning once again. “Jazz, you already know Sam and Tucker, and this is my Jazz.” He gestured at them as he spoke. “And that is Frostbite, he helped them get here.”
He turned to face the rest of them, waving at the little Jazz he’d been staying with. “And this is Jazz Specter, this universe’s half-ghost. I’ve been helping her figure stuff out.”
“He’s been helping me train and stuff,” she affirmed, nodding. “Figure out all the half-ghost stuff.”
“Must’ve been a busy two weeks.” Tucker nodded at Jazz—Specter. “You look well-trained, anyhow. How long did you have your powers before you met Danny?”
“Uh…” She blinked at him, clearly caught off-guard. Trying to process the same thing that Danny was. “Little over a month, close to two months, I guess. He’s been training me for the past four months.”
“Time between the worlds is uneven,” Frostbite realized.
“It’s barely been two weeks for us,” Sam tagged on, eyes wide. “But you’ve been here for four months, Danny?”
“Close to it, I think.” He shrugged. “The timelines don’t match exactly, I think. I feel like I had my powers for more than a year before I fought Pariah, right?”
Specter hummed thoughtfully. “But the events and the order is the same, right? That’s how you were helping me change stuff.”
“Well, not everything played out the same, obviously.” He reached over to ruffle her purple hair. “And it’ll be a lot better for you from here on out, without Vlad on your heels.”
“You should just do the same to your Vlad.” She nudged him. “He can’t possibly be that much worse than mine.”
“Yeah, I never told you about Danielle, did I?” He shook his head. “Trust me, Jazz, I know what I’m about.”
“Like how you never told your parents about being half-ghost?” She shot him an unimpressed stare.
He rolled his eyes. “Yeah, yeah, I get it. I make bad life decisions. This, I will definitely not miss.”
“I can’t believe you’ve been here for four months,” his own Jazz commented. “No wonder that you were worried we wouldn’t get to you.”
“At least you weren’t alone.” Tucker gestured over at Specter by Danny’s side. “And it sounds like you’ve been able to rely on your parents, too.”
“Not… for that long,” Jazz admitted, slowly. “I only told them recently. But Danny—mine—he knew for a while longer, so he and his own Sam and Tucker have been helping too. You have taken up their offers of a bed and food, right?”
Danny made a face.
“Danny.”
Thankfully, he was saved from having to explain himself by the roar of engines.
Valerie slowed to hover over the roof, her posture stiff. “Phantom, Specter… assorted other people.”
“Hey Val,” he said, before turning to his friends and sister. “Frostbite, this is Valerie, ghost hunter. The rest of you already know her, obviously.”
She grumbled, her hoverboard disengaging. “Phantom, you can’t just throw out my name like that.”
“Why not? These guys are from my universe, not yours.” He shrugged. “And they already knew, anyway. Besides Frostbite, but that’s just because he didn’t know you at all.”
“Who is he, anyway?” Specter squinted at the massive ghost that lingered behind Danny’s human friends. “You didn’t bring him to the fight with Pariah.”
“Frostbite is a friend who I didn’t meet until way later.” Danny floated closer to his friends, gesturing at the ghost. “He’s the leader of a group of yeti-like ghosts. They like me because I fought Pariah Dark.”
“Like you?” Tucker repeated with a snort. “Danny, buddy, they practically worship you.”
“It is true,” Frostbite chimed in, like a traitor. “The Great One is much beloved among my people for defeating the Ghost King.”
Specter shot him a look he couldn’t quite decipher, eyes narrowed and mouth thin. “Is that so?”
“That explains the strong ecto-signature that suddenly appeared on my radars, at least.” Valerie shook her head, disengaging her weaponry entirely. “I was worried that you guys had gotten ambushed somehow, but I guess that that’s not the case.”
“An ambush of love, maybe.” His Jazz reached out to ruffle his hair. “Right, Danny?”
“Ugh.” He turned himself intangible so Jazz could no longer touch him. “Anyway, to get back to the original point. I’m gonna go home, so you guys will have to take up the slack again. Jack and Maddie will help, of course, but you two are the only ones who can chase ghosts down in the sky.”
“We’ll take care of it,” Valerie assured him, voice sturdy and determined. “Don’t worry about it, Danny.”
“Do all these guys know your secret?” Sam asked, suddenly leaning on his shoulder. “Did you fall out of the habit of secret-keeping, Danny?”
He huffed, rolling his eyes. “No. Well, a bunch of them know, yeah, but it’s a long story.”
Tucker suddenly appeared on his other shoulder. “Are you sure you can trust Tiny to keep the city safe?”
“Hey!” Valerie snapped back. “Are you really underestimating me because I’m two years younger than you?”
“She has a point, Tuck.” Sam flicked him in the nose. “Valerie could destroy you, age difference or not.” She paused, narrowing her eyes at Valerie. “Even if she is smaller than I remember.”
“Alright, alright, that’s enough.” Danny shoved both of his friends off of his shoulders. “Yes, I’m sure that Valerie, Jazz, and the Fentons can take care of Amity. The three of us managed alright, too, and Jazz has even less enemies to worry about.”
“Yeah, have some trust in us!” Specter puffed herself up, her glow brightening in response. “You guys could take care of it when you were fourteen, so why can’t we?”
“It’s not about whether you can, it’s about whether you should,” Jazz said, crossing her arms. “But I suppose there isn’t much we can do about it. Do we need to drop by FentonWorks as well?”
Danny hummed. “I have kind of been living there, these last two weeks or so, so… Yeah, I think that that’s a good idea.”
“Well, have fun with all that.” Valerie summoned her hoverboard again, floating up a little. “I’ll finish up patrol for you guys, then.”
“Thanks, Val.” Jazz smiled at her. “I’ll see you at school tomorrow.”
“Mh. Bye, Phantom, Phantom’s friends and sister.” Valerie waved, a short motion similar to a salute. “Nice meeting you folks, I guess.”
“Bye, Valerie.” He watched her go, then sighed. “Alright, FentonWorks. How are we getting there?”
“I can carry your friends, Great One,” Frostbite offered. “As we did just now.”
He made a face. “But that’s not exactly comfortable, with them having off of your arms.”
“I can carry someone, too,” Specter protested. “I’m strong enough in my ghost form!”
“I can go with Specter,” Jazz offered, stepping forward. “Danny can take Sam, and Frostbite can carry Tucker.”
Specter nodded, closing the rest of the distance between her and Danny’s own Jazz. “I just need to… uh, figure out how to lift you.”
“Here, just like this.” Danny gestured at Sam, who rolled her eyes but let him pick her up. “See, Jazz?”
She nodded, replicating it with Jazz. It wasn’t quite as easy—Specter wasn’t nearly as strong as him, and Jazz a little too tall for her—but it worked well enough. “Got it. We ready?”
Danny turned to look at Frostbite, who had easily picked up Tucker. “Yeah, looks like it. I’ll go up front. We’ll have to stay high so no one sees us, though.”
Everyone made various noises of assent, the two half-ghosts and one full ghost taking off, their human passengers clinging on. They didn’t speak much during the flight to FentonWorks, high enough that the clouds prevented people from seeing them—if they looked up at all.
Before long they arrived, all flickering invisible for the dive downwards. In the living room, Phantom became visible, soon followed by Specter and finally Frostbite.
“Um.” Human Danny blinked at the sudden crowd. “What’s going on here?”
“My entourage has arrived.” Danny dropped Sam, carefully. “Aka my friends and sister have arrived from my own universe to come bring me home.”
“Oh, that’s good news!” Maddie appeared in the doorway to the kitchen, suddenly. “We haven’t been having much luck with finding ways to make portals into another dimension. How did you kids manage it?”
“We didn’t.” Tucker patted Frostbite on the arm, the ghost looking a little unsure. “Frostbite has a ghost artifact which can track down portals in the Ghost Zone to wherever you want. We used the Booo-merang to track down Danny, and then asked the artifact to bring us wherever that was.”
Danny felt his core stutter. “Oh, shit. The Booo-merang— Did someone remember to grab it?”
“Yeah.” Tucker held up the Booo-merang, which he… apparently had had all the time? Man, all these emotions made it easy to miss stuff, huh? “Come on, man, do you really think that I would abandon a piece of technology just like that?”
Maddie stepped out of the doorway to enter the room properly, Jack right behind her. “Well, I’m glad you managed it, at least. I assume you’ve come to say goodbye, Phantom?”
“Yeah, I… yeah.” He shrugged, a little uneasy. What were you supposed to say to alternate universe versions of your parents who you would never see again? “Um. Thanks for letting me stay here, and stuff.”
“Of course, kiddo.” Jack managed to make his way over to Danny, wrapping a heavy arm around him. “We’ve said it before, but you’re our son, even if you’re not from this universe. Of course we’d take care of you.”
“And your own parents must miss you terribly.” Maddie joined the two of them, ruffling Danny’s hair. “It has been so long… I can’t imagine it happening to us.”
“Apparently it’s barely been two weeks for them.” Danny looked at Sam and Tucker, who nodded in confirmation. “But, yeah. I missed them a lot too… No offense to you guys, of course!”
Maddie hummed, stepping away again—and taking Jack with her. “Well, no matter how unfortunate the circumstances… I’m glad that you were here to help Jazz, at least. Thank you for that.”
“Yeah, of course.” He shrugged, trying for casual and probably missing by a mile. “Family, right?”
“You’d better tell your own parents when you get back, though.” Maddie’s expression grew stern. “I don’t know how you planned on explaining your two week absence, but I want you to tell them. Okay, Danny?”
He nodded. “Yeah, I… Yeah.” He swallowed, his eyes feeling watery all of a sudden. “I learned my lesson. I should’ve told them ages ago.”
“Good.” Jack looked around, his eyes settling on Danny’s own Jazz—she was standing near this universe’s Danny, for some reason. “Jazz, sweetie, can you make sure that Danno keeps his promise?”
“Of course. I’ve been hoping for him to tell our parents, but no pressure, right? Speaking of promises, however…” She nudged other Danny. “I promise you that you’d better treat your little sister right, or I’ll come for you, you hear me?”
The other Danny rolled his eyes, grumbling wordlessly.
“Don’t underestimate her, dude,” Tucker piped up, quirking an eyebrow. “She’s been doing martial arts training for years. Seasoned ghost hunter, right there.”
“Yeah, yeah, I got it.” He huffed, shaking his head. “Just trying to get over the fact that my little sister gets to be older than me.”
“Welcome to my life!” Danny laughed, quickly wiping a hand past his eyes to make sure no tears had formed. “I’ve been living the reverse for the past four months, remember?”
“Can’t imagine.” Human Danny shook his head, then stepped past Jazz to offer his hand to Danny. “Either way, thank you for taking care of my little sister. And, y’know. For the wake-up call, back then.”
“And for not kicking your ass in the process?” Danny grinned, taking the offered hand. “Of course, dude, you would’ve done the same for me.”
Human Danny let go, sticking a thumb up at Frostbite. “Maybe, but I don’t have allies like that guy hanging around.”
“Who is he, anyway?” Maddie cocked her head, staring at the massive ghost. “I don’t remember you mentioning him before?”
“Yes, because I talk about my ghostly allies so much.” Danny rolled his eyes. “That’s Frostbite, he’s the leader of the Far Frozen.”
“And he had an artifact that allowed you to travel here, right?” Jack narrowed his eyes, crossed his arms. “How does that work? Is it limited use, or…”
“It can be used as much as desired.” Frostbite unrolled the Infimap to show it off. “You simply ask it to bring you somewhere, and it will, tracking down natural portals if it must.”
“So could he use that more often?” Specter asked, leaning in closer to look at the map. “To come visit?”
Frostbite blinked at her, seemingly surprised. “Yes… I suppose he could. But it is a valuable artifact… I’m not too sure about letting him borrow it so often.”
“It doesn’t have to be often,” Specter insisted, turning big golden eyes on Frostbite. “Please?”
“Come on, Frostbite, they’ve been taking care of him for four months.” Sam crossed her arms, staring down the ghost. “Let them have this.”
“I’ll be careful,” Danny promised. “I learned my lesson from last time.”
Frostbite’s mouth thinned, the ghost’s eyes wandering over to Tucker.
“We already lost him to the Zone once. I would honestly feel safer if he had a magical map which can always bring him home.” Tucker shrugged, ignoring Danny’s glare.
“And he’s always welcome here,” Jack pitched in. “He has done so much for us, and we’ve barely had a chance to pay him back for it.”
“It would be pretty cruel to separate him from Jazz after they’ve gotten so close,” the other Danny added on, a flat expression on his face. “And now that we know it exists, we might just go looking for it in this dimension, and I can’t imagine that our Frostbite would like that very much.”
Maddie nodded along. “At the very least, let us have a look at the Infimap. Maybe we can put together an invention that works similarly, and then you won’t have to worry about it anymore.”
“Well… I suppose that I cannot argue with such sound logic.” Frostbite shook his head, but he didn’t sound all that disgruntled. “But, Great One, you must promise you will be careful with it.”
“Yeah, of course.” He took the map when Frostbite handed it to him, then promptly handed it back. “Which is why I want you to hold onto it. I’ll drop by the Far Frozen when I want to visit this place.”
“Very well.” Frostbite grinned down at him, then looked around the room. “Were these all the goodbyes you had to make?”
“One last thing…” Specter tackled Danny in a hug, dragging him close enough to Jack and Maddie for them to hug him as well.
The three released him, other Danny nodding at him as well.
“I think that that was all.” Danny nodded at Frostbite, floating closer to put his hand on the map. Sam, Tucker, and Jazz grabbed it as well. “Thank you all so much. Goodbye!”
“Bye!” they all shouted back, as Frostbite told the map to take them back home.
The world around them disappeared into a blur of motion, alternating blue and green skies, until they suddenly stood in snow to their ankles.
“Here we are.” Frostbite shook their hands off, rolling up the map. “Great One, you are welcome to visit whenever you want, yes?”
“Yeah, I know.” Danny patted Frostbite’s arm. “Thanks. For everything.”
“It was my pleasure.” Frostbite reached out, almost hesitantly, then ruffled Danny’s hair. “You four had better return home.”
Danny looked around them, spotting the Specter Speeder resting nearby. “Yeah, I guess so. Let’s go, guys.”
They entered the Speeder, Sam settling in behind the wheel. “Oh my god, please tell me these instruments are wrong.”
“Nope, looks like we spent the better part of the evening on this.” Tucker groaned as he dropped down in the co-pilot seat. “Hope you guys are ready to crash into bed when we get home.”
“I sure am.” Danny sat down in one of the extra seats, Jazz taking the one next to him. “I know I promised to tell my parents, but that wait until the morning, right?”
“Right.” Jazz sighed, a soft smile on her face. “I’m proud of you, little brother.”
“Don’t rub it in,” he grumbled back, without heat. “I just spent four months as the older sibling, remember?”
“Oh, I know.” She grinned down at him.
It was strange, but in the past four months, he’d almost forgotten how much taller than him she was.
They spent the flight back through the Ghost Zone mostly silent, after that. Occasional small talk, but nothing major.
Finally, the Speeder touched down in the lab, Jazz stumbling out first. She stopped so abruptly that Danny walked into her back, peering around her.
“Uh, hey,” he said, sheepishly, to the stunned faces of his parents. “So, um. It’s a very long story, and I promise I’ll tell you guys everything, but in the morning, okay? I really need some sleep.”
He stepped past Jazz, allowing Sam and Tucker to climb out of the Speeder as well. Danny paused, turning back to his parents. “And prepare yourselves, because it’s complicated.”

III.38
Jon's identity crisis before the attack. 
Night King/Jon (GoT AU)
Sam's words were like another knife in the gut from a brother.
At first he couldn't even comprehend what had happened and then, as his mind caught up to what Sam was saying, his whole world seemed to shatter around him.
He was not Ned Stark's son. No matter how untrue that felt, it couldn't have been to his uncle. Jon hadn't been set apart, hadn't been sent ignorant to the Wall because he was a bastard. It was because he wasn't his son and he must have never forgotten. Must have never forgiven Jon's parents for the war.
Jon pushed Sam away, ignored everyone else trying to grab his attention. He didn't, couldn't care about the war, couldn't care about the Others, he needed somewhere he could be alone.
Rhaegal obliged him, making Jon laugh to himself, hysteria edging every noise. It wasn't at all because Daenerys loved him. It had never been that.
They stopped in a clearing nearby, far enough to be out of sight of Winterfell, close enough to get back quickly. He was a lie, a mummer's Stark, but he still had a duty.
He paced deeper into the treeline, ignoring Rhaegal's projected displeasure with him. Even a dragon was more than he wanted to deal with.
What he got, though, was so much worse. He was so numb he didn't notice how much colder it was getting, so distracted he didn't notice he was not alone, until he turned to go back in the direction he'd come and his path was blocked.
By the Night King.
Their eyes met--Jon couldn't look away. He was back at Hardholme, standing on a rocking boat. Back on the mission beyond the Wall, eyes drawn over and over again to the waiting figures on horseback.
The Night King stepped closer but still Jon felt trapped. Like prey.
When the touch came it was cold, so cold it burned, and Jon thought that itself would kill him. So distracted by those thoughts, he didn't register what else was happening until that burning was on his lips, the Night King kissing him with passion a creature of ice and death shouldn't have.
Deep down, lower even than the broken pieces of Jon's identity, stirred something that wanted this, craved it. He was kissing back, lips parting, tongue, and teeth, and gums aflame with the cold.
He didn't remember why he'd been upset. But he also didn't remember why he felt like he shouldn't want this.
His clothes were stripped from him, his flesh turning blue from the cold. The Night King touched him everywhere, took him, claimed him.
Vaguely Jon heard Rhaegal screaming and crashing into trees beyond--death throes, he somehow knew. The Night King's lieutenants had murdered his dragon to add to the army.
Jon, he didn't feel cold or hot anymore, just needy. Wanton. Nothing had ever made him feel as good as this, all cares forgotten, all thoughts of duty and honor abandoned.
He was free.
His body lay still, frozen, where the Night King left it for a full night. Rhaegal was raised and along with Viserion and the wight army, Winterfell was destroyed, its living mindless drones in the army of the dead.
Only then did the Night King return, taking great care in bringing Jon back from the limbo he'd been left in. He was no rotted corpse, no mindless slave. He was a child of ice, his flame extinguished.
And Jon found, once he could feel anything, that he didn't even mind.
