![Story idea's up for adoption [prompts]](https://fanfictionbook.net/img/nofanfic.jpg)
I don't know what's going on
Someone, oc of your choice, wakes up as Vlad in Danny Phantom. It's Post accident, fresh outta the hospital, Vlad too.
They didn't have cable growing up so they know like...the most basic bits of the plot and what they learned from fanfiction. They have no interest in acting out Vlad's role either, Clockwork is surprisingly Okay with this...apparently it's better for the timeline.
They learn how to use their powers and decide to do one thing Canon Vlad did, steal money, mostly from the worst of the rich people. After that they set up a good business that builds tech (using 2024 knowledge since the world of the show is early 2000s) and works towards renewable energy.
They still buy the mansion in Wisconsin but it looks much better, no packers colors/obsession.
Since they aren't Vlad they could not care less about Maddie and Jack, though they do express concern for the safety of the kids (when they all show up to the reunion, which is still held at the mansion because a classmate got ahold of Vlad and asked)
Vlad get Danny alone and is very honest with him about being a halfa and asking how he's doing. Giving tips and offering their number in case he needs ghost power help. (Or a ghost attack that is VERY bad happens, they really don't want to get into the hero role thank you very much.)
Vlad still makes the clone machine but is using his own DNA to try and make a child to raise as their own, they're terrified of romantic relationships because of the whole ghost thing. They burry and name all the clones who couldn't survive outside the tube.
When Danny and friends come visit for ghost training Vlad is sad AF because he lost another one and tells them what he is trying to do because going the usual way (IVF with donor) didn't work for him for reasons up to you. Maybe they try and help him out, without him knowing because they corralled em to bed to get sleep, and the result is Ellie ( who you can decide if she is part Vlad part Danny because there needed to be another donor to make it stable or if they just cracked the genetic ghosty code to ensure she didn't melt into a pile of ooze)
(Vlad sobs over the living baby girl but still scolds them for experimenting without supervision. Also little Ellie has ghost powers that stress Vlad out because he wants his baby safe from the Fenton's and GIW)
Events that only happened because of Canon Vlad either don't happen or happen in a different way.
Someone else waking Dark Pariah
The explosion PLUS Vlad & Ellie getting caught and destroyed by the GIW causes Dan to exist in the future.
[Psst! If you want to mix in DC x DP into this feel free!]
This was just a random idea I had because I myself never got to watch more than 3 episode of Danny Phantom until I was already an adult. I read the fics because they were really interesting and loved Vlad's aesthetic (suit and vampire esk ghost form) and powers but would 100% beat his Canon personality with a nail covered bat.
Anyway have fun!
