2
3	These fanfics are a retelling of the Nickelodeon TV series, ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'', but with mikaela's OC, Dayla Fenton/Phantom, who is Danny's twin sister. There is also some slight canon divergence here as well.
4
5	Danny and Dayla Fenton are twin siblings who gain ghostly superpowers after an accident involving their parents' Ghost Portal, turning them into the half-ghost superheroes known as Danny and Dayla Phantom. Together with the help of their friends Sam Manson and Tucker Foley, the two protect their hometown of Amity Park from the attacks of ghosts while trying to deal with the struggles that come with being two teenagers in high school.

7	This series is notable for bringing closure to several arcs that were left unresolved after the show's untimely end[[note]]i.e. The return of [[spoiler: Dark Danny]], Vlad's pact with the Fright Knight, Danielle getting adopted by the Fentons, etc.[[/note]]. The fourth fanfic really feels like an actual season from the show, with each chapter having unique and interesting plots/arcs. And Dayla herself proves on several occasions that she's more than just Danny’s twin and has her own distinct character and personality. Links to the fanfics below:

17	!!This series includes examples of:
18
19	* EleventhHourSuperpower: Towards the end of ''Four Times the Trouble'', Dani and Dale unlock their Ghostly Wails to stop Auriana from draining their friends' life forces.
20	* AcademicAthlete: Dayla is a straight-A student at Casper High, and several chapters show that she's very fit and agile as well.
21	* ADayInTheLimelight: A few minor characters get some significant focus in certain chapters.
22	** ''Musical Mayhem'' centers around Paulina and her eventually becoming true friends with Team Phantom.
23	** Mr. Lancer gets focus alongside Danny and Dayla in ''The Trouble with Books''.
24	* AdaptationExpansion: The fourth season really delves into Vlad's alliance with the Fright Knight that was only briefly hinted at in ''Reign Storm'', as ''Saving Dayla'' reveals that after Pariah Dark's defeat, Vlad promised the Halloween spirit his freedom, and in return he would serve him loyally and lead his army against the Ghost Zone and Earth.
25	* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Mr. Lancer. While he's still a SternTeacher and favors the popular kids just like in canon, he has more notable PetTheDog moments in this fic, if some of his interactions with Dayla are anything to go by.
26	* AdaptedOut: ''The Fright Before Christmas'' is the only canon episode that that was never remade.
27	* AdaptationalLateAppearance: Due to the author skipping over the Christmas episode, Ghostwriter does not appear in season 2. Instead, he appears in the 4th season in ''The Trouble With Books''.
28	* AdaptationalVillainy: Ghostwriter in canon was just a regular ghost author who only became antagonistic towards Danny after the latter destroyed his Christmas novel and gloated about it and then trapped him within a story in order to teach him a lesson. In this fic, he traps the twins (and Mr. Lancer) within multiple stories while cancelling out their ghost powers just because they accidentally destroyed a shelf of books in the library during an unrelated ghost fight.
29	* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Just like her brother, Dayla is often the target of bullies, especially Dash and Paulina, the latter often calling her things like "freak", "loser" and ripping up her sketchbook every time she comes out of art class.
30	* AmuletOfConcentratedAwesome: The Amulets of Nova and Bergthora, which belonged to the eponymous Guardians of the Ghost Zone. [[spoiler: They are used to summon their spirits to revive Dayla after her DisneyDeath.]] Conversely...
31	** ArtifactOfDoom: The Amulet of Kyba belonged to a powerful ghost sorcerer who sought take control of the Ghost Zone and Earth.
32	* AngstySurvivingTwin: Danny, at the end of second ''Final Battle'' chapter. Fortunately, it's only temporary.
33	* ArtistsAreAttractive: Dayla is an aspiring young artist, and has been mentioned by a few to be quite good looking.
34	* AtrociousAlias: Like with her brother's (initial) alias of "Inviso-Bill", the public gives Dayla the nickname "Inviso-Jane".
35	* AwesomeButImpractical: In ''Driving Lessons'', a scientist from Axion Labs presents a prototype self-driving car. Lampshaded by Andrew when he asks what would be the point of learning to drive in the first place.
36	* BeautifulSingingVoice: Dayla reveals that she can sing in ''The Trouble with Books'', and a few characters have commented InUniverse on how amazing her voice is.
37	* BecomingTheMask:
38	** In ''Musical Mayhem'', Paulina initially only pretended to be friends with Dayla to keep her and Danny distracted so that Ember could use the school's antenna to broadcast her hypnotic music all over the world. However, she eventually comes to truly enjoy hanging out with her, and later proves instrumental in helping the twins take down Ember.
39	** ''Four Times the Trouble'' has Selena Adams, AKA [[spoiler: Auriana]], who planned to become Dani and Dale's adoptive mother so she could siphon away their energy. The fact that she ends up sparing them and giving back all of the energy she stole from her past victims despite knowing she will die without it proves that she had grown to love and care about them.
40	* BefriendingTheEnemy: Dayla does this with Poindexter, after clearing up the misunderstanding about Danny being a bully to Dash. She places his mirror portal in her locker, effectively giving him a second chance at dishing out retribution to those to truly deserve it.
41	* BetaCouple: Dayla and Andrew are this to Danny and Sam. They have far less sexual tension than the former two, and end up together in ''Flirting with Disaster''.
42	* BigBrotherInstinct: Despite being only 3 minutes older (as confirmed by the author), Danny is nonetheless shown to be very protective of Dayla, often getting pissed if she's harmed in any way. Dayla at one point has to remind him in ''Maternal Instincts'' that she can protect herself.
43	* BigGood: Nova and Bergthora, who were named the Guardians of the Ghost Zone and faced off against Kyba.
44	* BilingualBonus: Because of Dayla being added to the story, the Reality Gauntlet has a fifth gem, the Gem of Ĝemeloj, which has the power to duplicate objects, including the Gauntlet itself, but only if a pair of twins were to touch it. Three guesses as to what Ĝemeloj means in Esperanto.
45	* BreatherEpisode: ''Reflections'' is all about the group reflecting on the twins' origin story and other memories of the past, with no ghost battles whatsoever.
46	* BreadEggsBreadedEggs: When Paulina is talking about her quinceañera in ''Memory Blank''.
47	--> '''Danny:''' ''That's because you invited me, I thought you were joking.''\
48	'''Tucker:''' ''And that you forget to invite me.''\
49	'''Andrew:''' ''And remembered not to invite me.''\
50	'''Dayla:''' ''Especially me.''\
51	'''Sam:''' ''And especially remembered not to invite me.''
52	* BrokenPedestal: While it was established in canon that Danny begins to lose interest in Paulina in ''Memory Blank'', here he breaks off his crush on her at the end of ''Parental Bonding'' after finding out that she had been bullying his twin sister.
53	* BrotherSisterTeam: Danny and Dayla. Also, their clones, Danielle and Dale.
54	* BroughtDownToNormal: Vlad Plasmius, who ends up losing his ghost powers in the season four finale.
55	* BullyTurnedBuddy: After the twins reveal their secret to the world at the end of season 3, most of the A-listers become genuine friends with them. Paulina takes longer, but she too eventually comes around.
56	* TheBusCameBack: The series, especially the fourth season, brings back several characters.
57	** Danielle and Dale, who were last seen flying off WalkingTheEarth in ''D-Stabilized'', return in ''Four Times the Trouble'' and later are officially adopted by the Fentons.

59	** [[spoiler: Dan and Day Phantom]] come back in the ''Ultimate Return'' two-parter.

61	* CassandraTruth: In ''Four Times the Trouble'', Danny and Dayla try to warn Danielle and Dale about Selena being a ghost, but they don't believe them until they show them a photo of her in her true form stealing their energy.
62	* CharacterDevelopment: In ''Parental Bonding'', Dayla was easily reduced to tears by Paulina's bullying. After a pep talk from Sam, she later [[GrewASpine grows a spine]] in ''Shades of Gray'', standing up not just for herself, but for Valerie as well.
63	* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In ''Splitting Images'', Dayla was against using her powers to get back at bullies and chastised Danny when he did so with Dash, yet in ''Reign Storm'' she has no issue helping her brother pull pranks on the JerkJock.
64	* ClingyMacGuffin: In ''Beauty Marked'', when she is made Sam's lady-in-waiting, Dayla is forced to wear [[PowerNullifier a bracelet that cancels out her powers]], and she can't phase it off due to it being coated with ectoplasm. She does manage to cut it off, though.
65	* CoordinatedClothes: Danny and Dayla, being twins, more or less wear the same outfits throughout the first three seasons, with the only difference being their colors (red/blue for Danny, green/black for Dayla). Subverted in season four, when they get different outfits.
66	* CostumeEvolution: The main cast all get new outfits at the beginning of season 4.
67	* CreepyTwins: While Danny and Dayla generally avert this, they become this in ''Control Freaks'' when they are brainwashed by Freakshow.
68	** Played straight with [[spoiler: Dan and Day Phantom]].
69	* DarkIsNotEvil:
70	** Dayla in her ghost form has a black jumpsuit like her brother, and is firmly on the good side.
71	** Andrew's attire throughout the first three seasons is comprised of dark colors, but he's a NiceGuy.
72	* DeadpanSnarker: Dayla is just as quippy as her brother, and fond of exchanging witty banters during fights with ghosts.

75	* DisappearedDad: Andrew's father Arthur was a US naval officer who was killed in the line of duty when the former was 9 years old.
76	* TheDragon: The Fright Knight becomes this to Vlad in season 4.
77	* DrivingTest: In the aptly named chapter ''Driving Lessons'', Danny and Dayla prepare to take their tests to get their driver's licenses. Later on, a scenario involving Technus stealing the prototype for a self-driving car gives the two the practice they need to defeat him and pass their tests at the end of the chapter.
78	* EasterEgg: ''Driving Lessons'' has one in the form of a street called [[Creator/ButchHartman "Hartman Street"]].
79	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: A rather twisted example; despite [[spoiler:Dan and Day]] having no love or compassion for their former loved ones, they do seem to care about each other at the very least.
80	* FaceHeelTurn: According to legend, Kyba was once on the side of good with Nova and Bergthora, fighting alongside them to protect the Ghost Zone from evil. However, he began craving more power and sought to rule the Ghost Zone in his image.
81	* TheFarmerAndTheViper: Frostbite and his people found Blizzard wandering the Ghost Zone and took him in and helped him master his ice powers. Years later, he repaid them by trying to take over the Far Frozen and even attempting to steal the Infi-Map.
82	* FireIceDuo: The twins become this once they gain fire powers in ''Playing with Fire and Ice''. It's also stated that they are the very first ghosts (and half-ghosts) to possess two different elemental cores simultaneously. Also worth mentioning that they use both powers interchangeably rather than having one twin stick to a specific element.
83	* ForgotTheirOwnBirthday: The first chapter of season 4, ''A Bitter Return'' has the twins being thrown a surprise party for their 16th birthday, which they had forgotten about.
84	* ForTheEvulz: In ''Urban Jungle'', Andrew ends up being brainwashed along with Sam, with Undergrowth's reason being that "every father must have a son", implying that he only did it to make Dayla suffer.
85	* FromDressToDressing:
86	** After Dayla gets a large thorn embedded in her shoulder courtesy of a mind-controlled Andrew in ''Urban Jungle'', Danny uses one of his gloves as a makeshift bandage to patch up the wound until it can be healed at the Far Frozen.
87	** In ''The Trouble with Books'', Dayla uses a piece of Danny's shirt as a bandage for his arm after he is injured by a wolf creature while they and Mr. Lancer are trapped in the ''Hunger Games'' novel.
88	* GenderedOutfit: Dayla's jumpsuit when in ghost form is the same as Danny's, but with a miniskirt.
89	* TheGhost: Pun-intended. Sojourn, the ghost who wrote the journal pages detailing the location of the Amulet of Kyba, is mentioned several times but does not appear at all in the series.
90	* GoldenSuperMode: When Danny and Dayla receive the legendary amulets of [[spoiler: Nova]] and [[spoiler: Bergthora]], their bodies become surrounded by a gold aura.
91	* HalfIdenticalTwins: Danny and Dayla are twins of opposite genders who are identical in most respects--having the same eye/hair colors and styles, wearing similar outfits, sharing the same powers, and having largely interchangeable personalities.
92	* {{Hammerspace}}: In ''Mystery Meat'', when Tucker pulls out a fork and knife. Dayla actually lampshades this by asking where on Earth he got the utensils. Tucker merely shrugs.
93	* TheHermit: Zortheus is a ghost sorcerer who had hid himself away in his home after being deceived numerous times by ghosts who sought to use his potions for evil. Fortunately, Dayla is able to gain his trust by proving her sincerity in wanting to save her brother, and he later gifts her with a special bracelet to summon him with if she ever needs his help.
94	* HowWeGotHere: The beginning of ''Musical Mayhem'' has Paulina helping Danny and Dayla fight off Ember before going into a flashback seven weeks earlier and all the events leading up to said fight.

96	* LadyInWaiting: Dayla is forced into this role in ''Beauty Marked'' after she is kidnapped alongside Sam as part of Prince Aragon's plan to marry the latter.
97	* ILied: In ''Saving Dayla'', Vlad promises to give Danny the cure for Dayla's mutation under the condition that he bring him the long-lost and dangerous Amulet of Kyba. Danny of course, manages to complete his task, but instead of honoring his end of the deal, Vlad destroys the last vial of the cure and escapes with the amulet, dooming Dayla to her fate. [[spoiler: Fortunately, Dani and Dale save the day.]]
98	* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: A non-romantic example occurs at the climax of ''Four Times the Trouble''. After Selena Adams is exposed and revealed as Auriana the Weeping Mother, she attempts to drain Dani and Dale of their life forces, but at the last minute remembers all the good times they had together and chooses to spare them and return give back all of the energy she had stolen from her victims.
99	* LaserGuidedKarma: After four seasons of causing trouble for the Phantom Twins and their family, Vlad finally gets defeated, is stripped of his ghost powers, and carted off to prison for the rest of his life.

101	* MindRape: What Nocturne essentially does to Dayla in ''Frightmare'', unlike the happy, idyllic LotusEaterMachine dreams he gives to the others, instead making her have a horrific nightmare of Plasmius murdering all of her friends and family and her being ForcedToWatch.
102	* MistakenForCheating: The B-plot of ''Double Cross My Heart'' has Dayla suspect that Andrew is cheating on her after seeing him with another girl at the mall. It's later revealed that the girl in question was his cousin Tabitha, and she was helping him create a promise ring for Dayla.
103	* MissingMom: Valerie reveals in ''Time Trouble'' that when she was 10, her mother died in a car crash.
104	* MommasBoy: Andrew has shades of this. Due to having lost his father at a young age, he is very close with his mother.

108	* NotWorthKilling: In the ''Final Battle'' two-parter, Danny, devastated by [[spoiler: his sister's HeroicSacrifice]], dishes out a brutal NoHoldsBarredBeatdown to Vlad and is about to finish him off for good.

109	* TheOmniscient: Zortheus, the Ghost Sorcerer is able to know every little detail about a person just by looking at them.
110	* OnceMoreWithClarity:
111	** When the legend of the Amulet of Kyba is first told in ''A Bitter Return'', it describes Bergthora having sacrificed her life for her brother Nova who, in his despair defeated Kyba with a powerful blast. In part 1 of ''The Final Battle'', it is revealed that after she took the fatal hit, Bergthora used her last bit of strength to transfer all of her power to Nova, who then summoned every ounce of his energy to destroy Kyba for good, but at the cost of dying himself shortly afterwards due to over-expenditure of his life force.
112	** In ''The Ultimate Enemies'', Future!Vlad refused to tell exactly how [[spoiler: Dan and Day Phantom]] killed their human selves. ''The Ultimate Return'' reveals that they ''ripped their hearts out of their chests and '''''crushed''''' them with their bare hands!''
113	* OriginalCharacter: Dayla, Andrew Knight, [[spoiler: Day Phantom]] and Dale Fenton are characters all created by mikaela2015 for this series.

118	* PleaseDontLeaveMe: Said verbatim by Danny as [[spoiler: Dayla is dying from her chest wound]] in the season 4 finale.
119	* ProperlyParanoid: In ''Four Times the Trouble'', Danny and Dayla suspect there is something off about Dani and Dale's soon-to-be adoptive mother Selena Adams, as they feel a strange spectral aura whenever she's near them.

120	* APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil: Blizzard was once an apprentice of Frostbite, but then he went rogue and tried to take over the Far Frozen, only to be stopped by Phoenix.
121	* RaceAgainstTheClock: The ''Danny's Final Hour'' and ''Saving Dayla'' chapters both involve one of the twins trying to save the other before they succumb to their illnesses. They both succeed.
122	* RecycledScript: The plot of ''Playing with Fire and Ice'' is more or less the same as ''Urban Jungle'', with the twins getting a new ghost power, going to the Far Frozen to master it, and using it to defeat the MonsterOfTheWeek. The only differences are that Blizzard only wanted to take over Amity Park rather than the whole world and nobody gets brainwashed.

125	** Tucker and Valerie become a couple in season 4.

127	* SatelliteLoveInterest: Andrew doesn't really get much characterization aside from being a NiceGuy who is Dayla's crush. While there have been attempts to flesh him out, he's notably the only member of the team who doesn't get an episode/chapter focused on him.
128	* SecretSecretKeeper: Andrew ends up discovering that the twins are half-ghosts in ''The Million Dollar Ghosts'', much like Jazz in ''My Siblings' Keeper'', though he reveals his secret in the following chapter, whereas Jazz wouldn't reveal hers until ''Ultimate Enemies'' in season 2.
129	* SensitiveArtist: As stated above, Dayla loves art and she's generally described as kind and empathetic.
130	* SeriesContinuityError: In the flashback of ''Reflections'', the twins decide to become superheroes just hours after the portal accident, despite the fact that they don't figure out what their powers are for until ''Mystery Meat'', which takes places a month after said accident.
131	* ShipperOnDeck: Like many a character in canon, Dayla is well aware that her brother likes Sam, and vice-versa. She also seems to support Johnny 13 and Kitty to a lesser extent, as she gives them relationship advice when they have a spat in ''Girls' Night Out''.

134	** After nearly killing Vlad in revenge for [[spoiler: Dayla's death]], Danny decides instead to [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender take away his ghost powers.]]
135	** According to mikaela2015, the challenges that Danny faces in ''Saving Dayla'' were inspired by ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade'' and the book series ''Literature/DeltoraQuest''.

140	* SomewhereAnEntomologistIsCrying: While trapped in the ''Hunger Games'' novel, Danny, Dayla and Mr. Lancer get chased by a swarm of hornets (tracker-jackers), but are able to lose them by jumping into a stream. Anybody who's familiar with bees and wasps (even fictional genetically engineered ones) knows that jumping into water is one of the worst things do when being attacked by a swarm as they will wait for the victim to come up for air.
141	* SuperNotDrowningSkills: In ''Girls' Night Out'', Dayla is shown to be able to swim underwater without needing to breathe when in her ghost form.
142	* TakingTheBullet: Bergthora did this for Nova to save him from being by killed by Kyba. [[spoiler: Dayla later does the same thing for Danny during their final showdown with Vlad.]]

He of course, gives the correct answer to all of them.
144	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Dayla is the girly girl to Sam's tomboy.
145	* TransformationHorror: In ''Attack of the Mutant Ghosts'', Dayla becomes infected with mutant ghost animal DNA after getting scratched on her arm by feline-scorpion ghost. The DNA remains dormant in her system for a few chapters until ''The Return of the Guys in White'', to which she ends up transforming into a monstrous half-human/half-ghost animal hybrid, complete with feline and scorpion claws, a tail, fangs, etc.

150	* UnderstandingBoyfriend: Even before they became a couple, Andrew is nothing but patient with Dayla and accepting of her half-ghost status. He never gets mad at her, even when she wasn't very considerate towards him in ''Kindred Spirits''. When she temporarily gives up her powers in ''Phantom Planet'', he's ultimately more [[DisappointedInYou disappointed than angry]], but he doesn't invalidate her feelings of wanting to protect him and gently reminds her that her powers are a part of her.
151	* VillainsWantMercy: Vlad, after Danny destroys the Amulet of Kyba and subjects him to [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown the mother of all beatdowns]] in the season 4 finale. Danny's response pretty much sums it up:
