Follow Your Passion: A Seamless Tumblr Journey
Um so you mayhaps have any more recs for danny phantom fieldtrip fics? Or perhaps some more school revelation fics đđđ
A few? The issue with field trip fics is that its a super old trope so thereâs not many new ones, and a lot of them were abandoned years ago. The section in my reveal fics list kinda covered most of the ones I thought were good

A Field Trip To Remember by TheCastorbean
I love Phandom and phanfiction because yâall put greater emphasis on the ghostliness than the original show did.
I love when Batman and Spider-man are treated as the main identities, and Bruce and Peter are the alter egos. So likewise, I want Phantom to be the main identity and Danny to be the alter ego.
The TV series (as much as I love it) mostly focuses on Danny, and being Phantom gets in the way of real life. Like oops, Danny canât do this normal teen thing because he has to fight ghosts. Oh no. And my favorite episodes are ones that focus more on his ghostliness, like Public Enemies. But in so many fics, being Danny gets in the way of ghost activities, or they highlight how much he has to suppress ghostliness while in human form. I frikkin LOVE it.
Furthermore, apparently in Butchâs imagination ghosts arenât actually dead people, but basically just a kind of monster. Fanon is like no, heâs half dead. Letâs focus on how dead he is and his struggle with being both dead and alive. I LOVE it. Thatâs the angst I want. Thatâs the whump fodder I want.
Tldr I love the Danny Phantom series but fanon gives us a ghost-focused, half-dead angsty hero whose humanity gets in the way of his ghost life, and I love it.
There will never be enough "regular human unfamiliar with Amity Park's nonsense has the misfortune of doing crime around local cryptid Danny Fenton" content out there.

Are you tired of reading and re-reading the same fics? No? Me neither. BUT STILL Itâd be nice to know whatâs new in the realm of Danny Phantom fanfictions. (Long post)
â = particularly tasty read
Posted / updated 2020-2021 on AO3 (in no particular order):
â Maybe Weâll Find Each Other | DP_Marvel94 // worldbuilding, AU Full ghost to half ghost Danny, Fenton Family, parental support, ONESHOT (for now)
Phantom, the adoptive son of Clockwork, doesnât remember his life but wishes he did. Jack Fenton, ghost hunter, lost his only son at a young age. When the portal activates, a newly half-human Phantom stumbles into Jackâs lab, bearing a painfully familiar blue-eyed, black haired form.
ââ How to Mentor a Troubled Ghost Child | Ectopal (bodingly) // Vlad & Danny mentor fic, heartwarming, parental, great plot! multi-chapter, COMPLETE
He and Daniel arenât just accidents, arenât just freaks anymore. Theyâre a species, and Vlad doesnât want to spend the rest of their unnatural lives fighting over a mistake he made. Heâll find a way to make it work. Heâll earn Danielâs trust and heâll make it work. (read more)
â Identified | VampireBadger // Valerie & Danny & Dani, identity reveal, alternate ending to D-Stabilized, ONESHOT
Danny and Valerie decide that no, actually, letting a recently unmelted Dani fly off on her own is probably not a good idea.
(What Danny doesnât quite understand is how this comes to have such a dramatically bad effect on his ability to keep his secret identity a secret.
Keep reading
Maddie and Jack hurt Danny during a fight for the first time.
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9, Part 10, Part 11, Part 12
The idea for this part came from The Full Catastrophe on FFN. Thanks!

"Which way did he go?â shouted Maddie.
Jack looked at her. The orange lenses of her goggles hid her eyes from him, but her ruby lips underneath were puckered in a determined frown.
âHe couldnât have gotten far,â said Jack, scanning the streets for his sonâs familiar aura. He spoke again in a lower voice, âYouâre tracking him, right?â
âDonât break character, he could be nearby,â Maddie murmured harshly, her lips barely moving as she discreetly checked her tracking scanner.
âWell, is he?â whispered Jack with a bite of his own.
Maddie gave him a warning look before saying more loudly, âLetâs check over there.â
Jack followed Maddie as she started walking. She soundlessly held up a scanner in front of his face, and Jack could see that they were walking toward Dannyâs location.
âAre you sure you want to go this way?â Jack asked in a loud voice, trying to hint his confusion to Maddie. Why were they headed toward Danny? Wouldnât she rather let him get away from them without trouble?
âYes, Iâm sure,â said Maddie. âI thought I heard something coming from this direction.â
Maddie gave him a harsh look to stop questioning her and just follow her lead. Jack sighed and ran after her. This whole thing really was more her experiment than his anyway. Whatever she wanted to do, he just had to go along with it.
Although he couldnât deny that their findings so far had been exciting. And having a specimen living with them in their own home was certainly convenient.
One car drove by as they headed down the street along the sidewalk, but the area was otherwise quiet, illuminated by a few very yellow streetlamps.
Jack checked the time on his watch. âHe really just stopped caring about curfew after he became a ghost, didnât he?â
âHe chose to be a superhero that fights ghosts,â said Maddie. âGhosts are more active at night.â
Maddie stopped abruptly and silently pointed down an alley between two buildings. She pressed herself against the wall and peered around the corner. Jack stood close to her to get a good look as well.
Danny was squaring off against a tiger ghost covered in spiky fur charged with electrical ghostly energy. The tiger lunged at Danny, throwing him into the chain-link fence at the back of the alley. Danny was down on the ground for only a moment before springing back up and firing a ghost ray.
âAmazing that heâs not even scared,â said Jack. âAll fight.â
âHe gets that from me,â said Maddie. âPlus his fighting skills. He needs to tighten up that form, though.â Maddie sighed and shook her head as she continued watching him. âCome on, Danny. I paid good money for those martial arts classes.â
The tiger pinned Danny to the ground and raised a paw, claws out, fur bristling.
Jack fingered the trigger of his ecto-gun. âMaddie, maybe we shouldââ
Maddie held up a hand to quiet him. Jack promptly shut his mouth and relaxed his hold on his gun.
The tiger brought down its paw in a quick swipe, clawing open Dannyâs cheek. Ectoplasm oozed from the fresh wounds as Danny cried out.
Jack sucked his teeth. âMadsââ
âGive him a chance, Jack.â
The tiger raised its paw again. Danny lay beneath it, clutching his face and looking stunned.
âMaddie, come on,â said Jack, giving her a stern but pleading look.
Maddie sighed and aimed her gun, pulling the trigger and blasting the tiger with a bright green ray of ectoplasm. The tiger howled and sailed into the chain-link fence, rattling it.
âWhy didnât you want to do that before he got clawed?â asked Jack.
âIâm interested in seeing how quickly heâll heal from it.â Maddie cocked her head. âArenât you?â
Jack froze, unsure how to answer that. He only moved when Maddie led the way into the alley.
Danny was still on the ground, sitting up on his forearms and staring at the tiger dizzily rising to its feet next to the fence. He turned to face Jack and Maddie as they ran up to him.
âI thought I lost you,â he said, grunting as he pushed himself off the ground to stand.
âYou thought wrong,â said Maddie, charging her gun and aiming it right at him.
Danny raised his hands up by his head. âListen, Iâm notââ
The tiger roared and started lunging toward him. Jack grabbed his Thermos and sucked the ghost inside in a burst of light before it could lay another claw on Danny.
Maddie glared at him, her bottom lip pushing up in a disapproving pout. Jack glared back. She wasnât just expecting him to let their son be mauled, was she?
With his hands still up, Danny took a couple steps back. âOkay, threatâs gone, so Iâll just be on my way.â
âYouâre not going anywhere, ghost,â said Maddie, advancing toward him.
Jack held up the Thermos, shaking it. âYouâre coming with us.â
Danny retreated a couple more steps until his back hit the chain-link fence. âThanks for the invitation, but Iâm already out way past my curfew, soââ
Maddie fired a blast, which hit the fence right next to his head. He staggered a few steps to the side, staring at the patch of burnt metal the blast left behind.
âOkay, your objection is noted.â Dannyâs voice squeaked. âBut canât I have any say in this?â
Maddie fired again, this time hitting his knee. Danny yelled and dropped to the ground, clutching it.
Jack dropped his jaw and stared at Maddie. Her eyes were fixed on Danny.
âNow, Jack,â said Maddie. âDonât let our specimen get away.â
Jack looked down at his Thermos, then her again. She couldnât possibly want him to actually capture their son. She hadnât told him this part of her scheme for the evening.
Danny gasped and stood again, hopping on his uninjured leg until he was back against the fence again. This time, he phased through the fence.
Maddie ran up to the fence and linked her gloved fingers through the chain links. She gritted her teeth and scowled at him. âCoward.â
âI donât want to fight you,â said Danny, pleading.
Maddie pressed the barrel of her gun against the fence. Danny hopped another couple steps before launching into the air in a streak of light, vanishing himself. Jack and Maddie both stared up at the sky where they saw him last.
âIâm surprised he hung around that long,â said Maddie, shutting off her gun.
Jack turned to her, his tongue sputtering in his mouth as he tried to get his words out. âYou shot him!â
âI had to show him we were serious,â said Maddie with a shrug.
âBut you shot him! Like actually hurt him!â
âJust his leg, Jack. Heâll heal just fine. At worst, heâll have a limp.â
âBut youââ
âDanny knows how serious we are about our research. It wouldâve been suspicious if we went too easy on him. He has to believe that we have absolutely no idea who he really is.â
Jack exhaled loudly as tremors gripped his upper body.
âBut itâs interesting that he admitted to having a curfew,â said Maddie, looking up at the sky again. âNot sure if that was a slip or if he just figured we wouldnât possibly understand what that really meant.â
She pulled out her scanner, reading the display. Jack did not come closer to try to read it himself.
âLooks like heâs heading home,â said Maddie. âGood. He has that math test tomorrow; he really needs to get some sleep. I might have to hire a tutor if he fails again.â
Maddie began walking out of the alley. Jack stared after her.
âComing, Jack?â
Jack shook himself out of his trance and followed her.

Wow there were some really cool events and prompts this year. I tried to tag everything and everyone I could think of so credit can go where it's due. Let me know if I missed any because I'm low-key exhausted but I wanted to get it done quickly.
Under the cut is a list of everything I did in 2021 for the Danny Phandom. There are some Ao3 links that lead to cleaned up versions of my (favored) fics if you're into that so feel free to sub to Acesymmetricfool on Ao3 for more as I get them tidy or I'll just reblog them as I go anyway.
Here on tumblr, I have my main blog @another-shameless-fangirl and my writing sideblog or check the tags "#asf writes" or "#asf wrote a thing" for more.
Thanks for the support I've gotten from people here, it really does mean so much!
It's mostly angst and drama. How about I tag what isn't. Enjoy~
Trick (362) -Ectober @ectoberhaunt Danny's secret is out. This ghost has tricked everyone into thinking it's little Danny Fenton. Luckily his parents know better than to trust a monster.
Laugh- Ao3 link -Ectober
What do people actually think about Phantom? We'd like to think of him as a friend with a nice laugh.
Glitter - Ao3 link (731) -Ectober
Glittering snow appears wherever Phantom does. There was a beauty in the way Phantom felt pain.
Fairy Circle (1166) -Ectober -dramatic with classmates
Danny isn't interested in this nature hike, especially when his friends are back at camp with another group and he's stuck with Dash and some other people. When they find a fairy circle in a clearing, Danny knows the stories and to stay away. Dash doesn't believe him and maybe there is a price to pay.
Twilight (660) -Ectober -oh no what happened in Fairy Circle
Fenton better not be pulling a fast one about that fairy circle business. Dash rationalizes the events of Fairy Circle in what is basically chapter 2 and is awaiting a third chapter.
Swamp- Ao3 link (3225) -Ectober (Horror)
Fenton Works wasn't always a weapons manufacturer. The Fenton's were paranormal investigators. Field studies were done, measurements were taken, tests performed. It was a family business that searched for proof of ghosts. One night, they finally found it. If only their 6-year-old wasn't sleeping in the backseat.
Poison - Ao3 link (428) -Ectober
Danny Phantom was going to be the end of Amity Park as we knew it.
Mask- Ao3 link (640) -Ectober There wasnât a time after the accident that Danny felt he could be himself. He had a loving family, friends who adored him, a public whose opinion varied on his performance, but he couldnât bring himself to present all that he was to any of them. So Danny started to wear masks.
Condemned (420) -Ectober
Danny Phantom was a menace at best, at worst an upheaval of the natural order of things. Danny knew better than anyone this sentence was for the best.
Headstone (2434) -Ectober
Why did he have to be remembered? Why didnât they want him anymore? Did they all wish him a safe passing to the afterlife? What did he do wrong to make all them want him gone?
He was a hero for them wasnât he?
Insomnia- Ao3 link (1018) -Ectober
What was a little lost sleep if staying awake meant he could keep his city safe?
A Wish List for Danny- Ao3 link (763) -12 Days of Ficmas (Fluff) @12daysficmas
Danny's been so busy fighting ghosts, he forgot to make himself a Wish List before the holidays started and he just doesn't have it in him anymore. Good thing he has two best friends who love him.
With a Little Help- Ao3 Link (645)- 12 Days of Ficmas (Fluff)
Star Thunder has her life together school-wise. It isn't really her problem if Fenton's is falling apart. Lucky for him, Foley comes to plead mercy.
Call me Grandma Ida- Ao3 link (1541) 12 Days of Ficmas (Fluff)
âI donât eat. Iâm a ghost.â Ida Manson could have believed him if it werenât for his voice or his face or the way his hands moved. She smiled at the ghost boy. âYouâve got a mouth, don't ya?â
She Knew Those Eyes- Ao3 link (2788)- Truce gift for @faedemon / @moipale
Jazz didnât know as much about ghosts. She didnât have powers or experience but she was willing to learn and help any way she could. Danny might not want to tell her about every rough time, but the important thing was that he trusted her to be there on the really bad days.
When her brother's skittish clone introduced herself, Jazz braced herself for what could be a very bad night indeed.
A Real Connection- Ao3 link (822)(Cracky fluff) @floralflowerpower
When Danny Fenton is spotted being carried home by the friendly Phantom, the Citizens of Amity Park can't help but wonder what their connection is. The consensus, despite any objections from Fenton, is that it is so very real.
Electric Duet (669) A duet with @floralflowerpower, prompt by @coolclaytony
Maddie experiments with Phantom's aversion to electricity and makes a dire mistake.
This is Only the Beginning- Ao3 link (1581) @danphanwritingprompts
Danny learns the hard way what Vlad already knew. They were both immortal and every human they cared about would die.
You Were Supposed to Be Our Uncle Vlad (1348) @danphanwritingprompts
Clockwork has his reasons when he shows Danny another alternate future. A single second could have made all the difference. Uncle Vlad would have been family.
My Eyes Were Blue (1021)- prompt by @dannyphantompromptgenerator and @all-out-disney
Danny finds out what happened to Sidney Poindexter.
Checking up on the boy (311) Kinda related to My Eyes Were Blue Prompt by @danphanwritingprompts
âMaâam, you donât understand. Thereâs nobody named Sidney Poindexter currently attending this school.â
Conviction (2083)- prompt by @amabsis
This time, instead of making a weapon to hurt ghosts, the Fenton's make a weapon that allows them to âget their feelings backâ. Problem is they already have them, so what happens when you take an already emotional ghost teen and amplify it by 10?
Team Work Makes the Dream Work- (1424)- Cracky fun- prompt by @reallydumbdannyphantomaus
kwan: don't look now but we've shifted to another reality again
dash: fuck!!!!! shit!!!!! no!!!!!
kwan: i mean i know it sucks but it's happened before it'll be fine
dash: no idiot we've got an away game tonight how are we supposed to get to brantford from another reality??
kwan: đ±
kwan: we're gonna have to forfeit!
dash: not on my watch
Thanks so much!
One of my mutuals on my main asked me about DP and so I recced them some fics that I thought might help explain the main ideas of the fandom. SO here is that list (and also just some other fun fics I like because).Â
Under the cut because this is kinda long!

A prompt based off the bit in this post where Jason reacts to Danny's chirps and trills... Except I'm taking it to the extreme>:)
So! Going off the known crossover fanon of the Lazarus pits being stagnant/corrupted ectoplasm it would make sense that Jason would be a corrupted halfa since he was dunked in corrupted ectoplasm instead of being blasted by a portal.
I remember reading a crossover post about Lazarus water not being able to turn people fully ghost but also blocking off any ghostly traits that might form. (If someone can find that post please let me know)The idea was that basically Lazarus water kept the people it revived as human as possible by blocking off any ghostly traits that might of formed from the revival.
Usually the Lazarus water can stomp out any traits before they even start. Unfortunately Jason formed a shoddy core when he was dunked and the Lazarus water blocked of all his halfa instincts and physical traits. This leads to Jason's lasting pit madness because all those instincts that are blocked are building up and exploding out in one big fit of instinctual rage. He has no outlet for the instincts he doesn't even know he has because they've been blocked off! He can't even chirp without another halfa or ghost starting it!
So here comes Danny waltzing into Gotham after an identity reveal gone wrong. He's freshly traumatized, looking for somewhere to hide out and stumbles upon a run down looking house and decideds it the perfect place to hide. It's actually one of Jason's safe houses and when Danny sneaks in he comes face to face with Jason. Danny sensing Jason is also a halfa let's out a chirp as a greeting...
Jason melts like butter. He turns into an absolute mess of chirps, just fawning over the ghost baby (Danny) that just walked into his safe house.
(That's all I have for this prompt . I'm working on like three onshots from prompts and outlining a Subnautica au for later. I'm just a really slow writer)
