Summary
August gets really hot in the summer. Its days, its nights, it all gets hot. Summer’s rotting into Autumn, fruits ripe on the branch have fallen to the ground and are feeding the worms. The air ferments, from sweet to sickly.
Summer reaches the pinnacle of its life in July. Things begin dying in August. Not noticeably, of course, but it’s a downward spiral from there. It’s the last breath before Fall.
Things die in the heat of August.
Danny Fenton is eleven years old when his parents built a very strange machine

Summary
Danny is eleven years old when he first meets Vlad Masters.
He’s also been dead for three months.
But that’s— uh, that’s up for debate. He thinks. Not important.
In any case—Danny James Fenton is eleven years old when Vlad Masters comes into his life and makes the executive decision to stay in it, regardless of Danny's feelings on the matter. Their first meeting is— something he doubts he'll ever forget.
It went a little bit like...

Summary
Not all deaths are created equal.
Sometimes, they are beautiful and sensitive. The passing on of a life when it was time for them to go. An easy, restful slumber for them to sink into.
Sometimes, they are abrupt and cruel. The theft of a life before their time. Their string cut short like a puppet. A robbed existence with no chance of goodbye.
But... most times, they are just unremarkable. Unexpected. Clumsy.
All it takes is just one night. One hour. One moment. One mistake. And a life can quickly be turned upside down, can become quickly unrecognizable and unsaved. Just one night. Just one moment. And things will never be the same.
Danny Fenton is just thirteen when the water heater breaks inside his house, and nobody knows but his father.

Summary
Stumbling blindly through Gotham's night was not how Danny expected his evening to go -- but to be fair, Vlad injecting him with blood blossom extract was also NOT how he was expecting his evening to go. So it's a night of new surprises, and really Danny just wants to get away from his godfather as soon as possible before the man catches up to him, or before the blood blossom currently coursing through his veins and eating him raw killed him.
Vlad is a man that likes to hide in the dark, it's unfortunate for him that Danny's learned to be a thing that hides in there too. From the corner of his unfocused eye he spots a man with horns dripping in shadows, hiding in an alleyway. Danny knows a kindred spirit when he sees one.

Summary
Finally Bruce looks at him, one hand slaps the space button on the keyboard, and the video pauses. His expression doesn't shift, but there's a weight in the lines of his face that reminds Danny of a set of weights sagging.
He looks quite like he's grieving something.
Bruce opens his mouth, his voice comes out terribly soft and heartbroken: "He looks like you."
Which is— a terrifying sentence in and of itself. One that makes Danny's legs shake and ignite his ragged, poison-chewed nerves alight with the need to run. An instinctive urge to deny, deny, deny.
How could he? He could say, that's a ghost, Bruce. I'm not a ghost. He could crack a joke, and ask, 'do I look dead to you?' or say something about how he knows that his parents studied ghosts, but that didn't make him one.
He could say that, and he could say it knowing full well that Bruce would see right through it. He'd probably let Danny too.
