Something that I think is important about Wyatt as a character is how he highlights the stupidity of the district system. I know that the human love of sorting ourselves into categories meant that every YA series for a while had a bunch of different groups with associated traits that tweens could take uquizzes about, but The Hunger Games isn't like Divergent or Harry Potter where young adults get grouped based on their personalities. Sure, the districts all have industries they're known for and the tributes are clearly shaped by wherever they grew up, but being born into District Four doesn't actually mean that you'll like fish. Wyatt is brilliant when it comes to numbers, but in District Twelve he can only channel that into gambling. Imagine if he'd been born into District Three with a father like Beetee, what he could have done with his mathematical talents. There's mention of it with Maysilee too, how she doesn't want to run the candy store but her options are that or the mines.

I guess what I'm saying is that the district system is great for keeping people oppressed because they see their fellows as "other," which is why it is a tool of fascism and not a practical way to run a society. It doesn't matter who is in what group, it matters that they internalize their group identity to the point that they ignore the similarities between them.

Danny is, slowly but surely, learning how to own and operate a farm. He's learning it from his adopted grandfather in the Ghost Zone.

To be fair, it had started out as him getting the shit kicked out of him courtesy of Vlad and his bullshit, and it had ended with the ghost of a farmer effectively kicking Vlad's ass.

That ghost took Danny into his Lair; it was an island, with fields of wheat, acres of space, and a little farmhouse with more rooms on the inside than seemed possible. He patched Danny up, made sure he would be okay, and then said;

"Son, did anyone ever teach you how to throw a punch?"

From there, he learned the farmer's name was Jon, and Jon (Pa, as he preferred) took it upon himself to grandparent the heck out of Danny.

As time passed, and his parents house got increasingly dangerous, Danny started spending more and more time on Pa's farm, and somewhere between learning valuable, useful, life lessons, he also started getting taught how to do farm work.

A year or so later, Pa pulls Danny aside.

"Listen, you still need some pointers occasionally, and that's perfectly fine, but my wife is still alive, and she's gonna need help with the harvest this year. Can you find the time to go make sure she's got it all covered?"

Danny agrees, of course.

Pa gives him a note to give to his wife ("She's gonna want you to call her Ma, if she likes you enough. You're a good kid though, so I think she'll insist."), a note to give to his son ("That boy shoulders far too many responsibilities, my death doesn't need to be one of them."), and a note to give to his grandson ("I just want him to know I'm proud to have him carry on my name."), an address for Danny to go to, and instructions on the general layout of the farm.

~~~~~~

Martha is doing morning chores, waiting for Clark and Jon to turn up so she can rope them into helping her with the harvest, when a white haired meta hero appears on her doorstep.

He's got a note from Jon, her Jon, and instructions to help her out on the farm for the harvest.

But Martha can read between the lines.

Jon would know she's got the boys. That, at a moments notice, she could rope in at least two more Supers and maybe a few Bats with the promise of pie. Jon would know that she wouldn't need an extra hand.

He, and it is him, she knows from the letter and the little references in it, sent this boy to her so he would have a safe place.

She just needs to find out if this kid needs a safe place permanently, or just as a backup plan.

Happy Danniversery

This is awesome!! : |]

Expanding on the below concepts from a dream I had last September

Ig I’m headed towards a haunted/manifestation of guilt idea hmm

i legitimately cant go to sleep until i get this au out of my head, shoves this into the world so i can rest

extra notes: -gabriel pulled a swap because Emelie was getting increasingly unwell after her pregnancy/birth, so he traded his sickly kid out for a healthy changeling in an attempt to sway her mental health in a positive direction ("look honey your son isn't dying") in the hopes it would make her recovery physically -it didn't work and Felix grew up among weird magical people who made him acutely aware that he wasn't like them -Marinette is not immune to magical charms and magical persuasion but her clumsiness offsets the power they have on her, so as long as she's awkward she's virtually unaffected -once Adrien finds out about Felix he just instantly sees Felix as a brother even tho Felix is actively trying to do him a murder (he will not succeed. victorian ass sickly boy trying to kill a magical being lol lmao even)
