Summary
Step Two: find the shape of infinity.
Meet your own eyes in a mirror. Play back a recording of your own voice, and mimic it again, and again, and again. Feel the ground under you; your shadow feels it, too.

(He avoids doorways, during the wandering; he isn’t sure why. It’s an instinct, backed by something unnameable, not quite fear. Preservation, maybe - like flinching away from something hot enough to burn. He avoids doorways, and simply floats through the walls instead. And if he can’t bear to think of the portal - if the thought of that singular, ultimate threshold makes him choke on air that he doesn’t really need - well, that’s his business, isn’t it?)

Summary
[ Danny looks over the surrounding buildings; in this part of town, at this time of night, most of them are either only half-there, or halfway more there than usual. A cat’s potential lays on a roof down the way, the suggestion of its tail swaying, its body the barest whisper of an animal, seen only by the witch-light backing its silhouette - a faint, ephemeral halo. ]

…The human body does not, after all, account for its processes being done consciously - the brain is fully capable of controlling these things with little input from conscious, deliberate thoughts. This is simultaneously where the case of the haunted house differs from the body, and where it remains the same: it may have the unique ability to observe its insides, and may even have enough self-control to alter them, but it does not - cannot - control those living within. The human residents of a haunting are as vital to it as the walls, and as unknowable to a house as a human’s brain chemistry is to the waking mind…

Summary
An eclipsing binary consists of two close stars moving in an orbit so placed in space in relation to Earth that the light of one can at times be hidden behind the other. Binary star systems are very important in astrophysics because calculations of their orbits allow the masses of their component stars to be directly determined, which in turn allows other stellar parameters, such as radius and density, to be indirectly estimated.
(or: Danny is not quite a ghost in much the same way as he is not quite a human; it follows that the pretenses of one would be just as hard to keep up as those of the other.)

Summary
“Th͢ąt̡’̢l̢l b̷e̷ £1̛0͜.͡9́9,” says the towering, eldritch creature behind the till.
Mechanically, the customer brings out her purse. She doesn’t realise she’s left her groceries until she’s already halfway across the parking lot.
In the store, the creature called Sam is managing to look very much like a kicked puppy. Turning to his co-worker (Jo, says her name tag), he tilts his head, and asks in a very upset voice, “Wa͘s ́i̴t sơm͜et̕h̷i͜ng I s̀aid͢?̨”͝
Jo reaches over and pats the part of his shoulder not covered by gold-blue fur in consolation.

Danny phantom fics that may or may not be connected in some way by SnippySchnapps

Summary
For now, these fics aren’t explicitly connected, but could be if I actually bothered to make the continuity flow better. As-is, this is just where I’m gonna keep all my DP fics that take place in roughly the same universe.

Summary
When Eva Stratt called an unexpected meeting, nobody expected it to be about a message from off-planet, from an alien species who wished to share knowledge.
Especially when the voice translating the message was Ryland Grace's.

Summary
Every screen in the room blazed with the same breaking news feed. An alien voice had just asked for him by name on live television.
“Mr. Grace?” little Jamal whispered from the front row, eyes huge behind his glasses. “Is that really you they’re talking about? Like, you you?”
Ryland’s mouth opened, but nothing came out. His heart slammed against his ribs like it wanted to escape and hide under the desk with the class hamster. He was just Mr. Grace. The guy who drew cartoon planets on the board, who stayed late helping kids glue together messy dioramas of the solar system, who once spent an entire lunch period comforting a sobbing girl because her goldfish had “gone to the great fishbowl in the sky.” He graded spelling tests on vocabulary words like photosynthesis and asteroid. Aliens did not know his name. Aliens did not ask for science teachers.
The marker slipped from his fingers and clattered to the floor.

Summary
It's been years since Doctor Ryland Grace saved Erid and Earth. He is content with his life, happy just to teach the next generation of Eridians and have the occasional game night with Rocky and Adrian in his dome. For the most part, nothing changes.
And that's the problem. Shouldn't Grace, y'know...age? When Rocky indicates that he should be sixty human years old by now, Grace can't reconcile the young face in the mirror with the time that his friend has religiously kept.
Things get more complicated when another undoubtedly human ship shows up at the edge of the 40 Eridani system. Suddenly Grace is playing ambassador between the two species, and tensions are rising between them. Will this be a successful second contact, or is the peaceful life Grace just wants to live too much to ask for?
