History Fanfic / Harmless

After the events of WesternAnimation/PhantomPlanet, things have certainly changed for everyone. [[WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom Danny's]] secret is out, Vlad is MIA in space, Dani is wandering the world and no longer about to dissolve into goo, Tucker is mayor of Amity Park, Sam finally ended up with Danny, and things are for the most part pretty good for our heroes.

* TheWorfEffect: Ammit destroys Fright Knight seconds after waking up.

* EveryoneCanSeeIt: Everyone knew Danny and Sam would end up together. Apparently the ghosts started a betting pool for when they would figure it out.

* OfficialCouple: Danny and Sam, as established at the end of ''WesternAnimation/PhantomPlanet.'' Skulker and Ember are also still dating, though their [[VollyingInsults relationship is less stable]].

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[spoiler:Vlad's]] behavior when he first arrived at Danny's house threw the teenager off balance and made him really frustrated until he remembered when he last saw [[spoiler:Vlad]] act like that: [[spoiler:the BadFuture from WesternAnimation/TheUltimateEnemy. ]]

* CrushBlush: Sydney Poindexter does this in regards to Princess Dora

** Just like Word Of God for the show, Ember was based on a teenage girl who was stood up for a date and died in a fire she was too exhausted to notice. This is one of the reason's her relationship with Skulker is so rocky: she believes LoveHurts.

* BreakTheHaughty: The events of WesternAnimation/PhantomPlanet served as this for [[spoiler:Vlad]] and forced him to confront the [[HoistByHisOwnPetard truth about what he'd done]].

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: After decades of [[NeverMyFault blaming everyone else]], [[spoiler:Vlad]] finally accepts he has no one else to blame for his current situation but himself.

* ThrowTheDogABone: Klemper now has Cujo, giving the lonely ghost at last.

Which means it is time for things to GoHorriblyWrong. [[WesternAnimation/ReignStorm Vlad's deal with the Fright Knight]] finally comes into focus, but unfortunately [[SealedEvilInACan awakens something ancient and powerful]]. Something that makes Pariah Dark pale in comparison and utterly terrifies every single ghost in existence, from the Observers to the Box Ghost. Those that don't hide [[EnemyMine immediately seek out Danny]], [[GenreSavvy knowing that he would do his best to stop the newly-unleased horror and that he has the best chance at success]].

* EnemyMine: Danny, his friends, and family are teaming up with ghosts ranging from Frostbite and his Yeti ghosts to Poindexter and Dora to Skulker and Technus to [[spoiler:Vlad]].

* SadlyMythaken: Ammit is portayed as a powerful male ghost when in EgyptianMythology she was a female demon who devoured the hearts of the unworthy dead. This is {{Lampshaded}} when they look up the name, but it is stated the Egyptians based their stories upon the ghost and simply got some details wrong.

* ThereAreNoTherapists: Jazz is doing her best to avert this.

** [[Vlad being gone]] when Danny's secret is revealed, thus not knowing that it is public knowledge now, is brought up.
