He's An Occult Detective Not Just A Magician - Tumblr Posts

What if John Constantine moved to Derry, Maine to lay low for an extended period of time?

Hiding from creditors and debt collectors, not to mention whatever entity or new enemy he made, that small town that is perpetually in the 80s that just so happens to have a huge population of missing children.

Strange.

He notices it, and he would poke and prod people about it, but the townspeople aren't exactly warm to an Englishman that drinks, smokes, and swears like John does. He knows that something is fishy when he sees how children act like there is no consequences for their actions and violence is startlingly high amongst teens, something is feeding off of the fear and trauma this tiny town just seems to pump out daily.

IT sees John as a threat. And IT makes sure to leave little signs that IT knows what John is.

Bonus points if John has some adopted kid that sees IT and doesn't know how to express what they see to John. Make it his biological kid or some apprentice, its fair game. Just like how IT sees the kid as fair game, smelling the trauma from the kid that makes the kid an absolute once in a life time delicacy for merely being associated with the Hellblazer.

Possible x-over:

if Danny Phantom just so happens to be a kid that is lying low there and IT uses the definite miscommunication and makes John think Danny is making children disappear.

Any fic recs? I may write this.
