Common Tropes and Fanon

  • Crossovers are fairly popular, the top five are: Teen Titans, Harry Potter, Supernatural, Young Justice, and Fairly OddParents.
  • Bad Boy/Dark!Danny, this includes the Danny Masters trope where Vlad is Danny's father. The other characters, namely Sam and Tucker, evil versions are also used in fanworks.
  • Character Deaths
  • Revelations of Danny's secret to various characters before it was canonized in the series finale Phantom Planet.
  • Genderswap, where Danny and Tucker are girls and Sam is the boy.
  • Character/Power swap, where someone, for example Sam, is the one with the ghost powers instead of Danny.
  • Darkfic in various forms, often where Danny gets experimented on or left a body behind when he first became a ghost.
  • Ghost King AUs, where after defeating the Ghost King in episode 24, Danny is considered the King of the Ghost Zone, whether he knows it or not.
  • No Phantom Planet AUs are also common and often go unlabelled, since some fans consider the final episode of the show, Phantom Planet, to be non-canon.

Other pairings that have appeared in the fandom are: Danny P./Danny F., Danny/Dash, Danny/Valerie, Tucker/Jazz, Danny/Desiree, Jazz/Tucker, Danny/Tucker, Sam/Tucker, Danny/Dan, and Tucker/Valerie.
