Theme: Danny Fenton/Duke Thomas
So, somehow, despite not reading much DC x DP lately I have fallen into reading one uncommon ship enough to make a rec list. Danny Fenton/Duke Thomas fans, this one’s for you, have some fic recs, arranged in order of wordcount and all containing some kind of evil cult summoning gone wrong.
Accidental marriage! Evil cult summoning gone wrong! This one’s really cute! The screw up is genuinely fun and I love how Duke takes everything in stride once it becomes clear Danny’s not evil. This entire one shot is sweet and heartfelt.
In hindsight, maybe they should’ve asked if this mysterious boyfriend was human first. Duke dating someone and just forgetting to mention it brings me joy. I love the vibe of their relationship here, they’ve been dating for a while, they’ve long moved past any serious worries about eldritch traits or ghost king stuff. Duke also has some little shit energy going on, which I appreciate.
The Court of Owls had been targeting the Robins for a while now. This one takes on a slightly more serious tone than the other recs. I really like that both Danny and Duke seem to be in similar places emotionally here, they’re both alone and feel very much like they’re facing a world much bigger than they are. The quiet care they show each other is very sweet. I can really see the beginnings of a relationship between them.
