You'll show us killing Danny at the drop of a hat?
You'll kill Danny, through dropping a hat?
You'll have a behatted lady kill Danny?
You'll prove us wrong by leaving him alone. Until we think he's fine?
You'll canon him and ignore him for the rest of the fic?
You'll kill Danny un-gruesomely?

What? What will you show us?!

Danny will be killed retroactively. All this time, the man that Taylor thought was her father was actually [insert unexpected name here].

I've thought of writing it, but I never got around to it. I'm not good at writing dark stuff. I work best with light hearted fluff.

Someone else already has, as a one-shot. After being pulled out of the locker, Taylor was healed by Panacea - then both of them fell into comas. Two and a half years later, they finally woke up with all the memories of their post-canon selves.

I don't remember the author or which thread it was in.

Turns out Danny also died in the car crash. Taylor's been imagining her father this whole time.

That's a great idea! *makes notes for the inevitable boarding of the crazy train*

Turns out Taylor died in the car crash. When the Phoenix Force adopted her form as an avatar, it mindraped the planet into believing that she had lived.

This, though, goes too far, I am afraid. I wasn't a fan of the retcon that it wasn't Jean at all nonsense. Jean was the host to Phoenix, sure. It affected her mindstate? Sure. Jean wasn't any part of that? Not true.

Was this the same as Madelyne Pryor?

No. Madelyne Pryor was flying charter/tourist flights up in Alaska, iirc.

That actually happened?

Yeah. That was how they got around Jean's death. It wasn't Jean at all. Just a flesh-clone inhabited by the Phoenix that thought it was Jean/had her memories.

And then later they had Jason Wyngarde apologize to Jean on his deathbed for what he did to her.... which should have had her going: Uh, whatever? You didn't do shit to me, bro.

ETA: I think Marvel's actually tried to forget about that entirely, so the retcon has likely been retconned.

Phobophobia is light and fluffy? Da fuq have you been smoking? Where do I go to get some of it?

What are you talking about, Phobophobia has one of the happiest Taylor's I've ever seen in a serious fic. It just so happens that her happiness comes at the expense of other people's happiness. And that her shard fucked with her head to make her that happy.

Chronologically, 4 takes place immediately after 1. It's a Worm xover with Berserk.

Well, now I look silly, because I've read that before just not remembered it.

Coil. This is why he isn't having Danny kidnapped
1. Hasn't kidnapped Danny.
2. Wants her in the Wards, not independent, so when he controls them he'll control her.
3. Some other reason.
4. Never seen in the same place at the same time.

It's obvious, when you think about it!

Who's Dio? Is this going to turn out to be some other thing I've read and forgotten?
