I've always thought Vlad and Danny's relationship was a bit more complicated than "enemies" or "Creepy vampire Ghost wants Child" so this is my take on what Danny thinks of Vlad and what Vlad thinks of Danny.

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN DANNY PHANTOM


DANNY'S POV:

I have an arch enemy. It wasn't hard to believe seen as how I wanted to protect the town I lived in. There were many ghosts that I fought against on a daily basis but there was only one who could come up with complicated plots. Vlad Plasmius was the ghostly counterpart of the mayor of Amity Park, Vlad Masters. He used to be odd to me. His goal in life, or half-life, was to kill my dad, marry my mom, and have me as the perfect half ghost son. At first I had hated him but it was different now. After he tried to clone me (a few times actually) Danielle came into my life. I loved her like a daughter and for the first time I understood that fruit loop, but unlike him I was able to let Danielle live her own life and so far it was the hardest thing I've ever done. Every day I worry that she might be okay and have to rationalize with myself that she's fine. I may not agree with Vlad on a lot of things, but I know what it's like to love someone and let them go. Someday I hope Vlad can let mom go. I do understand that he'll never stop pursuing me though, and I'm okay with that.

VLAD'S POV:

I would never admit this to Daniel, but I'm very lonely. Even with my vast riches I can't buy happiness. I've only ever wanted one thing: acceptance by loved ones. My own siblings rejected me, my parents dead ( though they might have done the same thing), all I had in life was my cat Maddie. I was, all this time, jealous of Daniel. He had friends who accepted him and his sister and albeit he is afraid of his parents though I'm sure they would accept him. It just wasn't fair I had even noticed how close he was with his clone Danielle, he had friends family and acceptance. All I had was a cat named after the love of my life who is married to another man with two children. I truly felt that Daniel should view me as a father figure but I was a failure Danielle had once looked to me as a father and I let it slip away equating her to trash, and had hunted the father of one of the only two beings who could understand me. Were my siblings right all those years ago? Am I a monster?

3RD PERSON:

Whatever may be between young Daniel Fenton and Vladimir Masters they have something in common beyond being halfas, beyond fear of denial. They share the need for acceptance. A Child's acceptance of their love.


This just sort of came to me and I actually rewrote Vlad's views a couple times before I settled on his seemingly depressed state. This would translate into anger in the show though which explains his aggression towards Danny's friends. Don't forget to review and leave your thoughts on this. good? bad? too OOC?
