Evanesco
formerly Evanescence, is a Danny Phantom and Harry Potter crossover where Harry is adopted by the Fentons.
- Adaptational Angst Upgrade:
- Initially Inverted with Harry, who is much happier with the Fentons than he was canonically with the Dursleys. Unfortunately, this makes Danny keeping his half-ghost status from him in his second year (both because of Danny's own angst and Harry already dealing with the Chamber of Secrets issues) hurt even worse.
- Danny's angst about being half-ghost is even worse than in canon, and having to rescue ghosts from the lab where his parents are subjecting them to horrible experiments doesn't help. He gets so worried that that he'll become evil that he actually goes to Skulker, who was trying to hunt him, for answers and reassurance. Later, his relationship with Harry starts to become strained, and he deals with Dan much earlier than in canon, with the angst about what happened being explored more.
- Age Lift: Danny gets his powers at age 11, when Harry is dealing with the Chamber of Secrets, where in canon he got them at 14.
- Animals Hate Him: After Danny becomes half-ghost, animals are more skittish around him. Even Hedwig, who's known him for over a year at this point, is rather spooked by him when she sees him for the first time after the accident.
- Gilligan Cut: Harry hopes that Danny is having a better time than he is. Cut to Danny fresh after the portal accident.
- Happily Adopted: Harry is adopted by the Fentons, and is much happier than canon as a result.
- Innocently Insensitive: Harry writes in a letter that Danny is dead (due to McGonagall being mad at him for sending Harry ecto-infected meatstuffs again, with Harry trying to warn him that she might send Danny a Howler) not long after he's become half-ghost.
- Sure, Let's Go with That: After Harry sees that Danny's shiner is gone, he assumes that he used concealer during his bathroom break. It's actually because his Healing Factor fixed it, but Danny goes with it.
- Taking the Heat: Danny takes the blame for Dobby breaking the ecto filtration prototype so that Harry won't get blamed for it.
