Daminette December-- So Close (And Yet So Far), Chapter Eight “Robin Hood AU”
———————————————————————————————————–
"What on God's good Earth are you wearing?" Felix asked Marinette as she walked up to him and Damian in the dining hall.
Marinette looked down at her Robin Hood costume that she had designed, complete with almost-accurate period boots and a 'money bag' instead of her normal backpack. "It's my Halloween costume! Duh! Why aren't either of you dressed up?"
"I refuse to dress up for such an idiotic pagan holiday," Damian stated, and Allegra (who had just walked up in a Maid Marian costume, also designed by Marinette) snorted.
"Of course you would say that, Wayne," she told him. "But if you change your mind, we have a Little John costume that would look fantastic on you."
"I would rather die." Again, he added in his head. "But thank you for the offer."
"Aw, are you sure? We'd be partners in crime," Marinette teased as she and Allegra sat down across from the boys.
"You know I prefer the vigilantes to petty thieves."
"Heroes," Marinette corrected.
"Vigilantes," her three friends replied in unison.
"I still think they're heroes," Marinette muttered. More than certain ones from a certain European country, anyway.
"Anyway, how was your dance class?" Felix asked the girls.
Allegra beamed. "It was so cool! My routine, not to brag--" Felix chuckled and was given a death glare before she continued, "was stunning, but Marinette was the best I've ever seen in any of my dance classes! I can't believe she isn't professionally taught."
"I guess I just have a knack for dancing," Marinette said, blushing. She really was bad at taking compliments. "I did take gymnastics as a kid, though, so maybe that has something to do with it."
"No, it has to be raw talent. Gymnastics may account for the flexibility, but the ability to dance the way you do is something else entirely," Damian said. The blank stares he got from his friends made him pause. Had he said something wrong? "What?"
"I don't think I've ever heard you give anyone a genuine compliment like that," Allegra told him.
"Nope," Marinette added, and Felix nodded.
Damian scoffed. "I can give compliments. I'm a great complimenter. The fact is that most of the time, you people don't deserve them."
"Sure, Dames," Allegra said, and Damian frowned at the nickname. He hated it, but it was impossible to change Allegra's mind after she chose a nickname.
"Back to Halloween," Marinette said, the tension now forming at the table making her nervous, "I would assume of you all hate the holiday so much, you wouldn't be interested in coming over to our room tonight and having a little Halloween party?"
"It'll be really fun!" Allegra added. "We can watch some movies, play games, trash talk professors and annoying classmates."
"That last option actually does sound intriguing," Felix admitted. "But I refuse to wear a costume."
"Fine," Marinette said. "As long as you come. We were thinking starting around eight, then staying up until whenever we feel like it?"
"Ah, I love when Halloween falls on a Friday," Allegra said. "No consequences the next day."
"There are always consequences," Damian told her. "Even when you don't think there are. You shouldn't be so lax about these sorts of things, especially in a city like this."
"You really think so little of me, Dames? Of course I'm careful and think about consequences in the real world, I just don't think it's necessary to work yourself up about staying up a few hours later than usual."
Before Damian could respond, Marinette put her hands up. "Eight o'clock. Yes or no?" She asked him. When Damian sighed and let out a defeated "Fine," Marinette smiled, proud of her triumph. "Good. We'll see you then. In the meantime, I’ve been sitting here so long that I haven't gotten any food, and I'm starving." When she got up and walked away, all sets of eyes at the table followed her, for three very different reasons.

Sorry this one’s kinda short. I had a lot of trouble writing, and I’m kinda losing the inspirational streak I’ve been feeling for the last few weeks. Updates will be sporadic, but I want to finish this fic in its entirety, no matter how long it takes.

Daminette Boy Band AU
(has anyone done this? Idk but here's my take:)
Okay, so I was listening to 'Video Girl' by the Jonas Brothers and suddenly thought the girl was kinda like Lila
And then that morphed into WHAT IF THE WAYNE BOYS WERE IN A BOY BAND (name currently unknown, maybe The Robins or something like that?)
(No powers au, no league of assassins, the batboys are all closer in age than canon-- Dick is the oldest at 23, Jason is 21, Tim is 20, Damian is 18-- Marinette and the class are 17/18 respectively)
So obviously, Lila is lying about being Damian's girlfriend, but Marinette knows better
She tells Damian what's up, he tells the boys, they write 'Video Girl'
They get Marinette to get a recording of Lila saying she's dating A Robin to use for the first part of the song (they figure out a way to use it that isn't illegal of course, they're getting revenge but they're gonna do it right)
When the song comes out, it goes viral, and everyone wants to know who the song is about/whose voice is being used
Lila tries to spin it when it's revealed that her voice was used, but just a few hours later Damian and Marinette go on their first public date and tell everyone Everything
They're all over magazine covers that week telling their story
Lila is destroyed, the class is on thin ice
Mari and Damian are finally free from Lila and live happily, making music and staying away from all the drama
BONUS: Marinette also follows her boyfriend and friends Jagged Stone and Clara Nightingale and starts a musical career and does a collab album with the boys, it's a big hit
Love this 🔮💜🔮💜

The vines that bind us - Chapter 7
Chapter 1 || Previous || Next
———–
After double-checking with security, it turned out that Tim Drake did not show to work. She sighed. Looks like more work for her… Just like Nathalie said.
She started by greeting the two plants in Mr. Drake’s office. Both were incredibly satisfied with themselves that they earned bigger pots. They were also even happier to see her. Next, she took care of her new plants. The two on her desk she quickly took a liking to. They were cute. Only the large plant that now stood in the corner next to the vent was snarky and dared to make an inappropriate comment about one of the office plants. The hole in that leaf was caused by a bullet thank you very much. Mari quickly and clearly explained where it made mistakes.
With that done, she got to the paperwork that was left on her desk. There were many things to be done before the lunch break.
———-
Chloe was giddy the whole day. She got a green light to deal with the Liar in any way she wished. So many plans. So many possible revenge options. So many lawsuits to be filled. But as she was walking to the cafeteria, a new, even more devious, plan formed in her head. She would need the help of a certain stuck-up brat, but if she got him to help, it would not only destroy Lila but utterly ruin her. She already had several ideas from her other schemes that could be adjusted. Oh, this would be glorious if only she found… there!
Damian Wayne was not having a good day. He was in fact having a really, really bad day. His father had forbidden him from bringing another sword to work until his previous one is returned. Given how efficient the GCPD is, he would be lucky to get it before thirty. He was the only one of his brothers to arrive at WE before lunch, which led to more irritation. He definitely hated the corporate gossip about one Marinette Dupain-Cheng. How she was awesome, how she was a ‘bamf’ (whatever that meant), or how much they adored her kind-but-still-no-nonsense attitude. She took his sword!
“Wayne.” An irritating voice came from behind. Damian was of course aware that someone was behind him but dismissed it as an employee doing something unrelated to him.
“Bourgeoise. What the heck do you want from me?” He spat
“To show you something.” She pulled her phone from the pocket of her jacket. He quietly admired how she found female clothing with pockets that deep. At the same time, he kept frowning at her.
“I swear, if it’s…” He didn’t finish, because she pressed ‘play’ and the video started. The whole thing laster about seven minutes. With each passing moment, his frown deepened and by the end, Chloe wondered how can he see anything when his eyes narrowed to two tiny slits.
“I. want. her. dead.” He seethed through the clenched teeth.
“Good. But we can’t kill her. Mari forbid it and I know your father isn’t exactly fond of killing.”
“Tt. What. do. you. want?” He pronounced each word clearly.
“Simple. Destroy her with her own words.” She pointed to the group where she was clutching to Adrien’s arm for her dear life. “Mari-bear is too moral to play with her lies like that. Us? We play to win.”
“Fine. But I want my sword back.”
“Clever boy. I knew you could break into an evidence room.” Chloe smiled. “They returned it cleaned of blood the same afternoon. Guess you were too late.”
“Tt.”
“Fine. I will get your precious sword. But if you try to mess with Mari…”
“I got enough of it from my father.” He scowled.
“Good. Now, onto the plan.”
———
Mari didn’t come to eat lunch with Chloe. She was perfectly aware that the girl would start one of their plans and wanted to have an alibi. Instead, she dived into the paperwork that had to be done as soon as possible. It was going on good and if she dealt with it before the day’s ended, she would have time to try searching for her mother in the evening. She even inquired with the City Hall about the ownership of their old apartment and the answer should be coming any moment now.
She was broken out of her concentration by a scream of rage and frustration.
——–
A few moments earlier
Damian stalked toward the group of teens that were relaxing from their intern duties. He could clearly see the Liar clutching to Agreste boy like a leech. Perfect for their plan.
The boy had to agree that what Blonde concocted was both deviously brilliant and brilliantly devious. A perfect opening play. He made sure that he looked flawless before suddenly ‘appearing’ behind Lila and Adrien.
“How could you?” He asked in an emotionless voice. His face was showing only traces of sadness. Just like he would look if it was for real.
“Who are you?” She asked dismissively.
“Really Lila?” He asked, allowing a small amount of water to appear in his eyes. It was not like him to cry at all, but his mother taught him all useful ways of emotional manipulations and tears were all the way on top of that list. “After all these years, our relationship meant so little to you? I specifically got this trip so we could reunite and you are just… hanging off of some french model?”
“Listen here you…” She was interrupted when Chloe stormed, her heels clicking loudly around the cafeteria. Conveniently, everyone removed themselves when they saw Damian stalking toward intern-bitch. Speaking to police two days in a row is not a pleasant experience.
“Wayne. What’s the mess here.”
“Tt. You were right. She is a harlot.”
“Wayne?” Alya asked with wide eyes.
“Yes. You have the questionable experience of meeting a pissed Damian Wayne. My poor cake…” She moaned.
“Would you let that go, woman!?” He asked. This time he had no need to play his emotions. Bourgeoise never forgave him and Drake that Cake incident and it grated on his nerves. He paid her back.
“It was my birthday!” She raised her hands up. “And you are all idiots. Lila kept telling you how great her relationship with Damian was. And yet she is hanging off of Adrien, sinking her claws into his arm. I think the English expression was… I swear I read a book about it. Something with red A…” She pressed a finger to her lips, acting like she was trying to remember. “Ah! Scarlet Woman.” She grinned. “That’s what you are, Lie-la. A scarlet woman using men to get what you want.” That was vicious even for Chloe. Adrien took the opportunity to push the fuming girl away and get back. He could admire the chaos that was about to happen very soon.
To their surprise, Lila calmed herself and giggled.
“ah! Silly Dami-boo! I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings. I thought we were always just friends. It must’ve been one big misunderstanding”
The people around started to nod their heads, accepting what she said as plausible. Damian Wayne wouldn’t be the first to get the wrong idea. At least until their phones buzzed. Chloe was smirking.
“Misunderstanding? This declarations of love say something different though. I seem to remember there was even some talk about a ring.”
Lila checked her phone and her eyes went wide. There were messages that looked like from her. That witch even replicated her speech pattern. It was much better forgery than what she did with Maribrat.
“Lila?” Nino stared at her in disbelief.
“I’m disappointed. After all this time together.” Damian shook his head. He pulled a small bracelet off and tossed it at her. “Consider this a break-up.”
Chloe smiled. “So you are free now.” She asked him. Damian saw the predatory grin and felt a sudden need to run. But he knew that the witch was not yet destroyed.
“Yes…”
“What say I concede that the cake incident was entirely Drake’s fault. If you take me for a coffee after work?”
Damian gave a distraught Lila a look of hatred. Then, he turned back to Chloe.
“I would like that. Does 4:30 pm works for you?”
“I should be free by then.” She smiled. “It’s a date.”
With that, she left with Damian toward the elevator. Lila had enough of it and stormed to the bathroom. Soon after that, a shriek of frustration filled the building. Since it sounded like the bratty intern, nobody cared enough. The class was not allowed to leave their posts, not that too many of them wanted to be near Lila at the moment. They had many things to think about.
Damian and Chloe sat in the Law department, both having a satisfied grin. It was totally worth it.
“Just to be clear. I still hate you.” He said to her.
“Same here.”
“To the Liar’s fall.” They raised a cookie each and bit in. Most people that saw them had to check again because the Ice Prince was actually hanging around someone his age.
——–
Mari managed to record the shriek and now used it as Lila’s ringtone. It was a nice mid-day surprise that brightened her day. It lasted all beautiful hour until Marleen White, the head of PR, started knocking on the elevator, demanding to see her. Given her state and that she didn’t even call, it was something urgent. Mari quickly let her in.
“We have a huge problem.” She tossed a folder full of pictures on her desk. There were prints of chat screens with various dates. The content was most troubling.
“I assume someone leaked it to the press?” She shrugged.
“How can you be calm? It’s a disaster!”
“They are fake.” Mari shrugged again.
“Fake?”
“A. That’s not Lila’s number on any of her four mobile phones. B. I have no idea who made it, but they have no idea how Damian Wayne acts. It’s straight up the same bullshit she will be facing a lawsuit for once the Law Department gets through the tons of paperwork. And C. This is an American number. Lila had no way of getting it three years ago. Plus the timing is too perfect. She gets punishment from the company and then the scandal with her dating youngest Wayne gets out. Whoever made it settled on fast, not precise.” Mari circled things on the prints.
“So it’s all fake?”
“I suspect she wanted revenge on the company for the extra work I had her be assigned.” Mari grinned at the memory of the shriek. “Or, someone’s doing it in her name.” For a moment her thoughts wandered to Chloe. She would have to speak to her soon.
“We will deny it and post all of the details you highlighted. The tabloids might still latch on it.”
“To be honest, I think it will be better than being dragged through the mud for the deaths. Especially since there was no story attached. Personally, I can’t care less about celebrity romance.” She dismissed the concern. It pained her a bit to speak about the dead in such a dismissive manner, but through the day she slowly absorbed that it was not her fault. She couldn’t blame herself. That’s what Marinette would do. Marinette was left in Paris by the irritating classmates and had her luggage (full of Adrien’s cheese-stinking socks) sent to India or somewhere.
“That’s… quite a good idea. I assume you will want this forwarded to the Law department to add to the lawsuit.”
“No point. It’s fake and we have no proof who leaked it. I’m plenty certain we have nothing or that person would already be sitting in HR.”
“The IT is looking into it, but they have little hopes. It went through an external server that we can’t get access to legally. Whoever leaked it was smart enough to avoid easy detection.”
“Good. By the way, what about that statement?”
“I sent it to your email.”
“I see it. I will read it and send you eventual suggestions.”
“Sure. It’s nice to have someone competent in place.”
“I thought Mr. Drake was quite a good CEO. He got this company from the hole back to the top?” She tried to remember what she knew about Wayne Enterprises and Wayne Tech
“Yeah, but he is… eccentric. And can disappear at weird times for hours only to then work through three days without sleep”
“Oh. And Sarah was unhelpful?” Mari winced, remembering her own runs when the deadlines approached and she realized she spent the whole week constantly fighting Akumas.
“She was good with people, but…”
“I get it.” Mari smiled. “Luckily, I have experience with babysitting.”
Both women cackled at that.
————
Once Marleen was gone, Mari quickly called Chloe’s phone. The girl picked up almost immediately. She was speaking to someone.
“I hope I’m not interrupting your work?”
“Don’t worry Mari-bear. I was just speaking with my newest side-kick.”
“Tt. I’m not a sidekick!” A voice came from next to her. Mari tried to resist the urge to facepalm. Chloe tilted the phone to show a pouting Damian Wayne.
“Shut up Sidekick. I’m the mastermind behind our plans.”
“And I pay for them with my image and sanity.” He replied.
“Hush you! I will let you know that some people would kill for the opportunity.”
“Tt. Right now I want to kill someone.”
“Har har. So funny, are you?”
“As much as I enjoy watching you two flirt… Get a room.” Marigold joked, watching both of them blush red. Before either had a chance to attack her for implying anything, she continued. “Chloe. Did you per any chance fabricated and published texts between Damian and the Liar?”
“Wait! That bitch actually published it?”
Mari facepalmed. She could feel the headache coming. In the hindsight, maybe it would’ve been better to just fire Lila’s sorry ass, together with the rest of the bunch. She could easily have Adrien and Chloe hired on some less permanent deal. They could both do without school for a while.
“Tt. Now I will really need my blade. Please tell me that nobody believed it?” Damian asked, frowning.
“You’re in luck. Madame White caught the wind of it quick enough. She will be making a swift statement that this is an attack on your person and the image of Waynes as a whole. Plus publishing a detailed analysis of why it couldn’t have been you.” Bluenette reassured him that his precious reputation would not take any great hits. Or not too great of a hit at least.
“Good. Jon wouldn’t let me live it down.” He sighed in relief.
“Now, Chlo. You know I love and support your deviousness, but please try and limit the civilian casualties of your future plans.”
“Fine. I can’t promise Lila’s retaliation to follow the same rules.” She huffed.
“Good. You’ve got any plans for the afternoon?”
“She is already otherwise occupied.” Damian quickly interceeded. He might not like the blonde much, but his honor demanded that if he actually invited her for a date, he did his best.
“I will leave you to your scheming then. Or whatever else you are doing” Mari quickly hanged up on the couple before they could scream at her. She saw a bit of blush enter both of their faces so she counted it as a win.
———
The rest of the day passed relatively quickly. Tim Drake did not show for work, so she had to handle the paperwork herself. She never imagined how much work went into organizing one press conference. Sarah did absolutely nothing about it before she quit. Her biggest problem was that she needed to have it happen outside of WE since several journalists expressed their concerns about security. Now she was being hard-pressed to find a separate convention center. Except that things were expensive and Finances were definitely not being helpful. She posted the task to one of their employees. He would send her the offers before the day was up, but there was a slight delay and she would have to wait until four. Mari decided that she can wait and have it done that day.
She informed Chloe and their teacher that she had to stay in the office after hours and get it done so they wouldn’t worry. Then, she dived into making what felt like dozens of phone calls. Out of four serious offers, three would actually pass the standards set by Mr. Drake in the email he oh so graciously sent her in response to a question about the situation. It was six when she actually got done with the negotiations, but the satisfaction was immense. The final price was ten percent lower than what she initially aimed for, so she had more funds for other things. The guest list was also reviewed in the meantime and already sent back, so that was one more thing crossed out of the list.
After being done, she bid farewell to the receptionist near the entrance and went to the Taxi she called before leaving. It was already waiting, which was a nice boon for the end of the day. Her next stop was not the hotel though. She gave the address in the seedier part of town. Her old address to be precise.
———-
“Are you sure Ma’am?” The taxi driver asked unconvinced. “I mean it’s not the safest part of town.”
“Don’t worry. I can take care of myself. Besides, my mother used to live here.” She gave him a bright smile.
“If you say so…” He shrugged and stopped before a rundown building. Moss and ivy had already overgrown this place a long time ago, but the plants seemed… unhealthy. Like they were left to fend on their own for too long. It was not a good sign.
Hesitating for a moment, Mari entered the building. She was hesitant, even though technically her mother was the owner. The ground floor was empty if one ignored several dozen wild plants in various states of growth. Some were dried and dead, while some others were lush and domineering. It used to be well-kept and ordered inside the garden that she and her mother tended to. She would fix that after she found her mother.
The second floor was not much better. The dust everywhere was indication enough that Pamela Isley moved out long ago. Probably even years. Mari walked around, reminiscing about her childhood. It was not what one would call ordinary, but she would never settle for it anyway. She loved learning about plants with her mother. The martial arts lessons with uncle Wilson when he had time. Science with uncle Victor or her mother. Even the math with uncle Floyd. And Allegra and Claude were there to keep her company.
Slowly, she trailed to her mother’s room. She hoped to find something useful there. She definitely did not expect to have to block a giant mallet with blue and red stripes. Ducking under it, she delivered a quick kick before running to the stairs. Mari dashed downstairs and burst onto the street. The Taxi driver actually waited for her. He was a godsend at this moment. She quickly jumped inside and ordered him to go.
“So? Unwelcome guests?” he asked a bit more cheeky than she would’ve liked.
“Yes. But apparently my mom didn’t live there is some time.” Mari answered in a bitter tone.
“Shame. Hope you have better luck, next time lass.” They rode in silence for a moment. “Name’s Chas by the way. Chas Chandler.”
“Marinette.” She smiled at the man. “Thank you for waiting. I would’ve probably been in a worse situation if not for you.” Mari did not add that the worse situation was ordering the wild plants to defend her. She worked with the wild plants maybe twice before and they didn’t listen that well to orders.
“Where to now?”
Mari gave him the name of the hotel. When they arrived, she paid him and gave him a rather generous tip for the work. It was already dark, but apparently Chloe was not yet here. The class was supposed to be visiting some local museum or whatever. It’s not like she cared.
When Marigold entered her room, there was a large book sitting on her bed. Tikki immediately zoomed out of her pocket and toward it. she hovered over for a moment before she huffed.
“Of course he would do that. He is an idiot though. I would be a much better teacher.”
“Who are you talking about?” Mari asked the small goddess.
“No one!” Kwami said quickly and in a bit higher tone. The bluenette could’ve sworn she saw Tikki get even redder than before.
“Okay… And what’s that? Nothing dangerous I hope?”
“It’s… it’s a spellbook.” Tikki said after hesitating a bit.
“Like magic?”
“Yeah.”
“Who would leave me a spellbook without as much as a note?” Mari asked. She could see Tikki was conflicted.
“I can’t say.” She finally let go of air. “I made a promise that I would keep the secret.”
“Fine. You’re sure it’s safe?”
“Yeah, but Magic is dangerous. You should only do it with some supervision.” Tikki warned her.
“Good thing I have you then.” Marigold grinned.
“Mari! You know I can’t exactly just…” Tikki paused. “You know what, it’s actually not a bad idea. I can teach you some simple stuff for the starters.”
“Huh? I actually expected you to be against it.”
“I trust you to act responsibly. And as a Guardian, you probably should start learning magic anyway.”
“Let’s get started then. Please tell me I can curse Lie-la!”
Not mine,but it’s good

So here’s the thing… fight choreography is HARD. I’m really sorry this took long too but on a brighter note!
Thank you so much for 450 followers!!!
———————————————————
Richard ‘Dick’ Grayson volunteered to be the guide for the Parisian school field trip because he thought it would be fun and easy. He never expected this - or anything even remotely like this - to happen. He could honestly say that this was not fun nor easy. A hot mess is what this was. A flaming dumpster full of toxic chemicals and explosives is what this was. Well, he had actually dealt with something fitting that description and it wasn’t as much of a mess as this was so maybe that was an inaccurate way to describe his current situation but he really couldn’t think of any other way to phrase this.
First off, they left two goddamn students behind at the hotel, which from his understanding was right NEXT TO CRIME ALLEY! -WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? THEY WERE OUT OF TOWNERS, THEY DON’T KNOW HOW DANGEROUS GOTHAM CAN BE!!! - and they didn’t even notice that they were missing!
First off, Dick would like to commend Ms.Mendeleiev, who looked like she would pass out any second, but not before breaking down into tears in the middle of a sentence - not unlike Tim on most days, if he was being perfectly honest but that was neither here nor there. She seemed genuinely concerned for the two missing students while the other one, Ms.Bustier, didn’t notice anything and seemed unconcerned that they had left two students behind. Second, Dick, as soon as he saw the two missing students drag his semi-conscious brother into the building, had an intense feeling of relief and gratitude wash over him. Tim had pulled another all nighter and disappeared by the morning and they had all been worried. At least this solved that.
When he had tried to approach the two teens about what had happened, the bluenette quickly rambled off some excuses while the blonde watched impatiently. It wasn’t long before the blonde got fed up and dragged the other girl away, though to where he didn’t have time to wonder because the elevator chimed and Bruce stepped into the lobby.
The older man quickly made his way over to his eldest, concern clear in his eyes for all those who knew him well enough to see, “What happened to Tim?”
“Oh, you know, the usual.” Dick crossed his arms, voice nonchalant but posture rigid, “Pulled three all nighters in a row and went out for coffee, nearly passed out in public and got dragged here by two teenage girls.”
Bruce raised an eyebrow, and opened his mouth, ready to inquire about that last part when the Parisian class let out a loud cheer. Glancing at them, the two Gothamites raised their eyebrows and turned around to approach them. Peeking over the huddled students’ shoulders they watched as a purple haired reporter on screen narrate what was happening behind her in French. Bruce understood what was being said and was astounded by what he heard.
“Ladybug and Queen Bee just appeared on the scene of Paris’s latest akuma, The Director.” Nadja Chamack, the screen read, “A villain who takes control of anything and anyone caught in his beam. Citizens are advised to stay away from windows for the duration of this attack and to stay indoors until Ladybug has given us the all clear.”
So there was an official protocol involved in this, Bruce noted. He noticed that there were no people on the scene other than Nadja, the camertuer, the heroes, the ‘akuma’ and the already controlled people as soon as the broadcast started and this explained why.
/*/*/*/*/*/*/
“What do we know?” Ladybug asked as she deflected another beam of light with her yoyo, eyes trained on their akuma while she waited for either Ryuko or Viperon to fill her and Queen Bee in on the details of what was happening.
Ryuko was the one to respond, slipping behind Ladybug so she was protected too, “He calls himself The Director. He can control anyone he hits with his beam. Presumably an unjustly fired director for a popular TV show. Akuma in his megaphone gun.” Ryuko leapt away from Ladybug to tackle Viperon out of the way of a beam shot by the stereotypical French movie director looking Akuma.
Ladybug nodded determinedly as she drew her yo-yo back and backflipped out of the way of another beam, landing
“Maneuver 24, stinger style.” She called to her teammates, looking to Viperon for confirmation. The snake themed hero nodded to her, prompting her to give the signal for the rest of them to begin their plan.
Ryuko raised her sword, calling out, “water dragon!” The Director turned towards her just as her body turned into liquid and splashed in his face and reform next to him. She struck out with her sword, temporarily engaging him in combat before leaping out of his reach.
Ladybug took advantage of his temporary distraction and wrapped her yo-yo around the arm not holding the Akumatized megaphone and pulled with all her strength, drawing his attention to herself. He tried to free his arm, pulling with all his might but Ladybug held fast, not allowing her yo-yo to slip from her fingers and free him. The Akuma let out a frustrated shout, his controlled army beginning to descend on the spotted heroine at his command.
Viperon stepped up next, throwing his harp at Director the same time that Queen Bee appeared be behind him, her magically charged spinning top in hand. The harp knocked the megaphone right out of the akuma’s hands and straight into Ladybug’s waiting hands. Before The Director could even move to recapture his akumatized item, Queen Bee had used her Venom to paralyze him on the spot, leaving the four of them free to deakumatize the victim and clear up any messes.
Ryuko approached Ladybug, her sword sheathed and arms held out in anticipation of the other bluenette handing over the megaphone. Ladybug did so, summoning her lucky charm as soon as it was out of her hands. A small slip of paper fluttered into her hands a message scrawled on it in elegant script. A smile overcame the young Ladybug’s lips as she read the ‘well done’ in what she assumed was meant to be Tikki’s handwriting.
“Ryuko.” That was all the dragon heroine needed, as she dropped the megaphone on the ground and stomped down on it, effectively snapping it in half and releasing the Akuma within.
“Gotcha!” Ladybug cried, her yo-yo opened with a swipe of her hand and flying through the air with a flick of her wrist. The little black and purple butterfly was immediately caught in her healing light.
For lips twisted into a small smiles as the Akuma flew away. Today was one of the easier and less dangerous days. Now to hope that no one was seriously traumatized. All the therapists they had asked to take care of Akuma victims were booked full for months and no one outside of Paris believed them enough to come and help out. Kwami, the situation was getting worse and worse by the day and they were running out of resources.
“Miraculous Ladybug!” The spotted heroine tossed the piece of red and black paper into the air, where it burst into millions of glowing ladybugs that soared through the city, righting all the wrongs done by the Akuma. The people around them who had been controlled by The Director were now looking around calmly, trying to understand where they are and how they could get back to where they were supposed to be. It saddened Ladybug to see the civilians so calm in a situation that just three years ago might have caused mass panic. Her resolve to defeat Hawkmoth was fueled with every attack, every blow, every hit, ever alert but this… this was why she wanted to get Hawkmoth out in the open as soon as possible. So the citizens of her city no longer had to be so disconnected form reality, so they could be allowed to feel.
Ever since the Akuma’s became more violent, the citizens of Paris had really clamped down on their emotions, isolating them and shoving them away. Anything negative was kept under lock and key, shoved in a box that got too small far too quickly and burst at the slightest touch. Akumas were much more powerful now, not just because Mayura was helping Hawkmoth too but because there was so much negativity for the akumas fed off of, to utilize because once someone reached their tipping point, they plummeted down a well of emotion that drowned them and there was no hope of escaping it. It filled your lungs, heart, and mind, corrupting you until no one could recognize what you’ve become. Hawkmoth preyed on those who were at their weakest, who have been torn down and ripped to pieces, those who had no reason to fight because they were already drowning with no way out. The walls were closing in on them and their air was running out. It was easier to give up at that point, easier to let defeat take over than fight and prolong your suffering. Everyone surrendered now days.
“Ladybug.” Queen Bee placed a gloved hand on Ladybug’s shoulder as their miraculous beeped. “We have to go.”
The spotted heroine nodded and the two of them unspooled their yo-yo and spinning top respectively, heading off to detransform and return to Gotham with Kaakli’s help.

Maribat Prompt by @blueisasome
“I’m sorry, how many phones have you stolen?” Dick asked her.
Worst Ways to Die: Murder by Insulted Seamstress by @casual-darkness
The Waynes were fairly roughed up. Some moderately deep cuts and scrapes. Early signs of bruising and swelling. Even what looked like some broken bones! (Dick definitely had a broken nose - she silently prayed it was set right, afterwards).
But that is not what set her off.
They were wearing her suits.
And they were DESTROYED.
Maribat Oneshot by @soulmate-game
That’s when she abandoned her weapon and her tires, darting to try and escape only for Batman to drop down and block her escape. Though really, it was the grin Batman had that scared the girl most of all, apparently, making her slowly back away from him.
“Please stop smiling,” she begged with a faint French accent to her words. “It is not natural.”
From Thrift to Designer by @mysnis
“You spent 550 dollars of someone else’s money on clothes for me to wear?!” Marinette’s eyes bugged. She did not want to put that much on Steph to return.
“Uh. No? That would offend Dick. I spent 550 million as the two limits combined gave me the right to. It’s totally fine.” Marinette turned white, and the bag Steph had was opened to reveal the biggest wardrobe Marinette had ever seen shoved into a bag.
The Life of a Hero by @snow-leopard-7772point0
Damian’s eyes sparkled. He lowered his voice to what he thought was a whisper, leaning close to his mother. “'Um, can she be my ’ukht?”
Talia stared at her son, once again taken by surprise. “Would you really like me to adopt her?”
Damian nodded feverishly. “She is the first person I have met to prove even slightly knowledgeable. She is worthy to be family.”

SIT!!! Meme by @mochinek0
While everyone cowered under her outspoken voice, Damian stood tall. Bruce couldn't help but notice his son's ear tips glowing red.
'She's an Angel.'
"I have been up for seventy-two hours with no sleep. I'm not afraid to hurt anyone at this point. Now, we have a new student joining us today. Be nice and if you wake me the fuck up, I will break something or someone." Mari concluded, before taking her seat and resting her head on her desk.
Bitter about Magic by @mysnis
“I saw the pair of you out together. The other night.” Marinette blinked.
“No, that can’t be right, are you sure?”
“As sure as I can be.”
“Batman…she…doesn’t know that part.” She whipped around to look at him.
“You. You figured me out?”
Nice people deserve forgiveness by @mysnis
“Oh, yeah, I’ve had relationships and romances, who do you have a crush on?”
“It’s not a crush!” Damian snapped. Dick raised an eyebrow.
“Well it’s not going to be refusing a girl’s advances you are asking about. All of Gotham knows you need no help in saying no.” Damian scowled more. Dick decided to wait it out.
“..Dupain-Cheng,”
Dirty Mind by@mochinek0
“I know for a fact that Mari didn’t threaten you last night.” he continued.
“Really and how do you know that?” growled out Alix.
“Seeing as how she was in my bed, all last night, I think I would have noticed her leave. Don’t you?” the Wayne heir smirked, “I dropped her off at the bakery, ten minutes ago, for her to change.”
He is mine, bitches by @bitch-its-me-alv
You can’t touch what’s mine, bitch
Marin was nearing the end of his patience. If damian was still so nice to him and didn’t kiss him, Marin could hit something or kiss him until his soul was taken out.
With his attractive face in a constant frown, his jade eyes always fulminant, his olive skin so shiny and smooth. His always so neat black hair and his expensive cologne… Damn Damian why don’t you just kiss Marin already?

Pop Proposal by @nightlychaotic
“What’s your name?” he asked.
“Marinette.”
“Dick. Nice to meet you, have a good day,” he told her, shaking her hand before starting to walk away. She lunged forward catching his wrist, pulling him back.
“Hold on a second. You do not just get to propose and ditch like that.”
Plausible Deniability by @jumpingjoy82
Completely based on Mari Vs Joker… Again by @intercoursefluids
Taking a deep breath, Marinette focused back on everyone, “Joker tripped out of the window, right?”
Receiving a few different confirmations, it took her everything she had to hold on to the straight face Marinette had on when she heard Adrien say, “Tripped over his big ass clown shoes he wishes he could pull off.” But even then, it brought a few smiles among the rest of the crowd.
Surface Pressure by @timinette-is-best
“I am Damian’s sword, I am his armor, and I am his shield. Nothing you do, no sword, no whip, no torture, and no Lazarus Pit will ever change that.”
Ra’s laughed at her, but Marinette only continued to glare at the man. Even as the grip around her neck grew tighter, she would never again cower away from him or anyone.
“You may have found some strength, but you forget. You are the property of The League of Assassins, and that means you will always be mine.”
Losing a Spleen Isn't All Bad by @astrynyx
“My soulmate . . .” Marinette whispers, staring at the tattoo in awe. She was now even more glad that she decided to learn English. “I—”
“SHE’S GONE!” Both Marinette and her soulmate tense, sharing a look. “THE GRAND GUARDIAN HAS ESCAPED!”
“That’s my cue to leave,” Marinette said, scanning the room for an exit.
Zoom Call Fail by @sadpotatoondrugs
Among the many faces she saw in the zoom call, she only paid mind to her teacher. She didn’t bother to watch her own, since she saw no reason to do so.
She should’ve at least checked once in a while.
She might’ve noticed the group of people enter her room if she did.

Lady Noire In Gotham by @unmaskedagain
It was from Tim. “Who… are you?”
“Marinette,” She said as she took a bite of her pancakes.
“She’s our new sister,” Damian declared. Marinette giggled. She had come to Gotham for the chance to train with an actual superhero. Her parents thought she was at camp. “She is a Parisian hero named Lady Noire. Get used to it.”
Jason Todd: Professional Trophy Husband by @bunathebunny & @weirdo-with-no-beardo
"And now that you're out more, what do you do to support your wife?"
Jason clenched his teeth. What did he do to support his wife?
What the fucking hell.
Marinette did everything. She owned her own company, one she built with no help and no support (they hadn't met until years after). And she continued to make millions, and still giving most to charity.
Not My Type by @mochinek0
“It won’t matter if you color your hair or get contacts, I know it’s not the real you.” he spoke, as if reading her thoughts, “They all have a look, but I also look at their personality. They’re kind, giving, strong, helpful, smart, determined.”
“Hey, Lila is all those things!” Mylene shouted.
“But can she kick ass?” Adrien questioned.
“What?” everyone asked.
Bargain by @timinette-is-best
Fulfilled
“Well, what if we make a little bargain?”
A raised brow.
“If I can’t heal you, I will do whatever you want and I will pay for everything that your family may need.”
A pause.
“If I can indeed heal you, all I ask is that I get one dessert made by you.”
Throughout Time, You’ll Always Find Me by @multifandomscribette
“Excuse me,” Marinette said in English, clad in her customary red hoodie and black leggings with matching running shoes - there could be a surprising amount of running involved with time and dimension travel-, “Could you tell me where I am? And what exactly today’s date it is?”
The red clad teen stared at her for a long moment then took another sip of his alarmingly sized travel mug, “Holy Batarangs, I’m hallucinating a cryptid.”]

FRIENDLY REMINDER TO ALL IN THE MARIBAT FANDOM
edit (22.03.09): thanks @izanae for mentioning that this ALSO APPLIES TO AO3
please, when tagging your creations and works, do not use #(insert first name) wayne, #marinette dupain cheng, #miraculous ladybug #dc comics/universe #(insert dc/miraculous ladybug character) solely without the implication of a crossover because this is what gets maribat onto feed recommendations of antis and we don’t want fighting. here is a list of acceptable tags to use, examples of such, and some implications of these. my tags are going to feature some of the acceptable tags to use
# maribat(insert character name)
# maribatdamian wayne
# maribatmarinettedupaincheng
# maribatjasontodd
# maribatlukacouffaine
edit: thanks @legends-live-in-memories for the tip and heads up! so updated version because tumblr has shitty search engines and tagging stuff, it’s better for any mention of characters to have no space because if they have spaces, it includes keywords instead of solely the tag so yeah. this also applies with character x character, do it like characterxcharacter

*note the word crossover in this statement. any other word or phrase that is in italics also applies this note. while you are still using the correct ship names and pairings, the whole point of using these specific tags is to avoid and have decent respect for people who genuinely do not enjoy this ship (which they are entitled to). when you are mentioning ships that are only related to one specific fandom (e.g. adrienette, djwifi, damijon, nightfire), either add ‘maribat’ before or after the ship name

# (insert ramble about maribat or your concept/idea/ff/drabble/hc)
# who the hell asked for timari # actually no one did i just really wanted to write about it # y'all can fight me meet me in the mosh pit # platonic daminette isn’t written about nearly enough without them being siblings # daminette can be platonic too stfu
to be honest, i just inserted this because i love looking at the tags some people write underneath their actual fic
# (insert vague tag in relation to this fic)
# romance
# coffee
# soulmate au
# salt
ok look now i know i said that the point was to stay out of the way of the antis and everything by using specific tags to not bother them but this one is public property. if they try to imply that we maribat content creators and fandom cannot use these types of tags without saying maribat then i guess they’ll have to take it up with every. single. fucking. fandom. there. fucking. is.
hope this was helpful and please for the love of all things fandom follow this because i don’t want another tumblr bloodbath
if you are a person in the maribat community, please spread this. if you are an anti, please spread this (look, mr/ms/mx anti, if you spread this post, people who follow you and are in the maribat fandom will hopefully stop posting this stuff on your feed so win for you, win for us). if you are a person in the dc universe fandom or the mlb universe fandom who just doesn’t give a damn, please spread this. tag the people you know who are even remotely related to any of the topics i have just raised. get the word out so that we don’t step on each other’s toes.
also:
So I've finally found this fic. I asked for help in Ao3 and got scolded, now I know I can't post "can you help find a fic?" works in there. Turns out this fic is part of ricebullet's deleted works so no wonder I had such a hard time finding it. You can't actually read it without downloading it first, so take not of that. This fic is a Maribat fic where it portrays Marinette as the daughter of Robin. There's one for Dick, Jason, Tim and Damian. I actually found the downloadable fic from @miraculousdeletedfics Check it out the other fics in this post, it might interest you.

Searching for a Batman Fic. Help?
The fic I'm looking for is a Parent Jason Todd Ao3 Fic. The beginnings of the fic are hazy for me but I do remember Jason giving up Red Hood because he acquired baby Damian. He moves to Metropolis because it was safer. There he met Kon and adopted him too. Along the way, he adopted 2 more babies, both girls (both oc's). The rest of the Batfam gets suspicious after Red Hood disappears and decides to investigate his whereabouts. They found out about Jason and the babies and decided to spy on him instead of confronting him about it. Jason noticed, because of the numerous baby diapers sent to him, and wondered how far the Bats would go through for the babies, the Bats sent a truckload of toys before Jason haad enough. I rememebered Jason went back to school in this fic
I don't remember if the Batfam was aware of Red Hood being Jason before the investigation or not. But that's it.

Searching for a Maribat Fic (2). Help?
I actually just red this recently but I wasn't able to finish it cause of wifi problems and I couldn't find it again. This is a tumblr fic btw. Marinette is actually an Al Ghul and she ran away around 5 and some years ago because smth bad was gonna happen to her. Talia didn't know why and thought it might've been because she was a girl and thought her father as a hypocrite. After her father died she started searching for her with the League (cause they weren't hypocrites) and found her in Paris, she was gonna give Mari a chance to be a heiress or not and if she didn't want to then she was fine to stay in Paris. She entered Paris with the League and noticed the Miraculi magic, she and the others didn't mind because all they were here for was her daughter not knowing they were gonna come across a war. They came across the Miraculous Team fighting Hawkmoth, throwing his staff at Ladybug, that was turned into a sword.
That's pretty much where I ended before I accidentally lost it. Pls help me, the fic was interesting as far as I red and I want to finish it.

An Email Away by LovelyLore
Chapters: 17/?
Marinette had been startled to find out that her school and a school in America were collaborating to do a pen pal assignment. To be fair, the assignment was suppose to help the students with the grammar of the language they were learning. Marinette pulled a random name out of the box. She hoped Damian wrote good French and that she could write well enough English.
How A Demon Commissions An Angel by AlixAnonymous
Chapters: 19/25
Damian Wayne really needs to get his brothers good Christmas presents or else he may be sent off to the Teen Titans because apparently his people skills "leave much to be desired". Succeeding where his brothers failed, he manages to find out the true identity of their favorite French fashion designer, MDC. Getting her to make their gifts would certainly cement his ability to say. The only problem? Those nonexistent people skills might prove detrimental as his email makes himself an enemy that's quite near her breaking point.
Marinette Dupain-Cheng has had a hard two years to put it lightly. There are no more good days for her, just ones that aren't as bad. The email threatening to expose her, potentially making her already awful situation even more unbearable, comes on one of the worst. Could her reply be the first hint in years of the fire that has been nearly snuffed by her classmates? They both might be surprised to find how much life can change with some well constructed sentences and a couple terribly made aliases.
Today will be a good day by mysweetvillain

“A-Are you sure darling? The boys tend to be a bit, on the destructive side. They might actually destroy half the mansion in less then five minutes, trust me, I’ve seen and been there first hand.” Marinette placed her hands on her hips and gave a confident smile.
“I‘ve babysat before, and trust me, I KNOW how bad they can get, but with enough experience under my belt, I assure you that I can handle it, though if I’m going to do this, I’m going to need to know who I’m to babysit and what do they like?” And with a simple nod, Selina told Alfred the plan. The butler reluctantly agreed.

“Mr. Way-” someone began, but he silenced them by putting his hand up.
“I would like an explanation as to why you all have decided to accuse my wife of having an affair and accosting us, as we were headed out for lunch. Everyone will stay silent unless I call on you. Understood?” he demanded. The reporters nodded.
With a sigh, he pointed to the gentleman in a teal button up shirt.
“There is an article circulating online, saying that Marinette is carrying the Agreste heir.” the reporter stated.

MLB Bio!Dad Constantine Recommendations
Con Man’s Daughter by @arty-shadow-morningstar
(Part 2) (Part 3) (Part 4) (Part 5) (Part 6) (Part 7) (Part 7.5)
Batman is surprised to find out that Constantine has a daughter who is also involved in magic like her Father but an apparently more specialised kind called the Miraculous. He is a little miffed that he didn’t know about John having a daughter. He did consider it weird at first that she had a slight french accent unlike her father’s Liverpool accent although she pronounced some words like he does.
He also connected some dots that she is also the Parisian heroine, Lady Rouge who Wonder Woman introduced to the League a while back and had declined to join the Young Justice or Teen Titans until everything in Paris was resolved.
Curiosity Killed the Exorcist by @soulmate-game
“If those timelines are now-deleted, then I obviously don’t remember what’s so bad about telling me why you’re acting like I’m some hated family member you’re avoiding!”
Silence.
Pure. Fucking. Silence. As they all watch with front row seats as Marinette flinches at the word ‘family’.
Pure silence as Constantine’s shoulders drop at the sight of her flinch, realization slapping itself on his face.
“No.”
Locked Emotions by @musicfeedsmysoul12
This doesn’t actually have a title
So Marinette is angry and bitter and full of magic. She also does something super risky. Like John locking up his childhood innocence and such, she locks up her rage and anger and her knowledge of the truth. She doesn’t want to hurt anyone.
Becoming Ladybug is easy. She’s good at what she does and uses her own magic to help. John hears about what’s going on in Paris and goes looking. He sees Ladybug using magic and… that’s his family magic… oh.
Bio!Dad John Constantine by @multifandomscribette
(Part 2) (Part 3) (Part 4) (Part 5) (Part 6)
They never developed a father-daughter relationship - neither particularly wanted one - but the mentor-mentee one worked out very well for them, and it did help both of them improve as people and ‘professionals’.
Marinette gave John a ladybug charm that she made, endowed with a lot of luck, since she know he has a dangerous job, though she never told him about what it can actually do. He doesn’t know about her being Ladybug and she likes it like that.
