this is such a random idea but imagine: 11 year old Damien seeing 15 year old Marinette transform into Ladybug. Or detransform. This girl who took his moody ass preteen agnst with a smile and offered him cookies and fenced with him and was actually almost decent. This girl who, upon the class/school being kidnapped by X Rogue Gallery Villain (Probably the Riddler. Or Penguin. Someone low-key not going to murder her. but that’s not the point.) Sacrificing herself up to deal with whatever weird mind-games they had in store, giving Damien time to contact Bruce. This girl who then kicked ass and took names and reversed the damage but still checked on everybody else.
Damien thinks about the Hero Rules his father has tried to instill in him. Thinks about Marinette. Ignores her frantic freaking out and trying to explain and just. Takes her hand. Takes her back to Wayne Manor.
“We have a sister now.”
“holy shit its fucking GENETIC. BRUCE. BRUUUCE! THE DEMON SPAWN KIDNAPPED A GIRL!”
“he wHAT?!”
And Bruce is like. Damien. Son. You can’t just kidnap girls, no matter how much you like them. Or how heroic you think they are. He’s sure her family, the family she’ll be going back to in a few weeks, the family in PARIS, will miss her.
And somehow Damien weasels in visits? Back and forth? And Marinette coos over him bc he didn’t really spill her secret like she asked and she’s very grateful and Damien is adorable. She likes her new baby brother.
Jason wonders what the hell kind of powers Mari has to reign in the Demon Spawn into something vaguely resembling a real human child.
Tim is looking between Damien, Bruce, and Marinette, and wondering if it is, in fact, genetic. This is just kinda suspect.
Dick is cackling like HELL YEAH NEW SISTER! BABY BRO AND BABY SIS HE’S SO READY! LETS BOND!
Alfred just sighs but takes it in stride. Mentally starts picking out Mari’s new room and costume. Though apparently she designs? Perhaps she’ll convince the family to have a costume revamp. (She absolutely does. Their costumes offend her delicate sensibilities.)
Also Damien just shows up and commends Tom and Sabine on raising Mari and they’re? Confused? But okay.
They have a son now. They feed him all the things.
Damien also gets the Rooster Miraculous when he’s in Paris so he can run around with Ladybug. And kicks Chat in the shin. Often. That’s HIS sister, don’t flirt with his sister! This is completely unprofessional. Robin would make a much better Chat Noir. Replace him.
Mari is just long suffering. Bundles up her baby brother and gives him lots of snuggles while he pouts and protests. He is a mighty assassin! He does not need sisterly affection! … Though science shows that hugs are proven to increase serotonin levels so he SUPPOSES she can continue. He needs all the good feelings he can in Paris.
Chat wonders where the hell this little bundle of feathers came from and if his Lady will be mad if he tosses him off the side of the Eiffel Tower.
Living in a city with superheroes
Can you imagine how it would be if Damian time travelled back into his 9 year old body? Free of the brainwashing and social conditioning and SALTY as hell.
“fucked up a perfectly good child is what you did, mother. look at me. i have bloodlust”
A Beauty and the Beast AU where Belle realizing she loves Beast isn’t at some dramatic climactic event but during some randome everyday moment. Like, she’s filing her nails and just kinda glances up at him and he’s like doing something just as dull and it just kinda dawns on her that she loves him but she doesn’t voice it cause she isn’t exactly ready to confront thoes emotions and what they mean so she goes back to filing her nails but then is starts raining glitter and Beast is defying gravity in a glowing ball of light and the castle is changing back and everyone becomes human again. Then everyone is left in silent moment of shock and confusion and Belle, being completely unaware of what it takes to break the curse, is just staring around in horror while everyone freshly humanized comes running into whatever room she and Beast were in (probably the library) expecting to see something other than human Beast in a heap on the ground and Belle across the room in a chair frozen in shock and confusion and everyone just kinda looks at each other for a couple of seconds not realy sure what to say cause nobody is entirely sure what happened other than the curse was broken. Then Beast finaly gets up and looks around and realizes what this means and looks at Belle and is just like “you love me?” And Belle is just like “wat?”
So I know I've said multiple times to feel free to write any of the ideas in this book as long as you tell me when you publish it along with giving me credit. I also know many of you want to see these ides being written so I would like to draw your attention to other works inspired by this one!
On Wattpad we have "Maribat one shots" by ravenfrey, "The cat family of Paris/Gotham" by HiyafolksUvU and "Maribat One-Shots" by justnxncy.

Pairing: Platonic Daminette -- Word: Hilarious -- Object: Paper
“Do you think I could adopt you?” Marinette mused out loud.
“What,” Damian said, a bit shocked by the seemingly random topic.
They had been lazing around drawing when she had asked this.
However it is Marinette, so while a topic looks or sounds random it could have easily been an idea that has been on her mind for a while.
“Can I adopt you?” Marinette repeated, this time actually asking him.
“Why? I have both legal and biological guardians.” Damian states a bit confused by where this train of thought was leading to.
“I know you do,” Marinette claimed, waving a hand dismissively. “But imagine all the chaos.” She states with a grin, knowing her little cub will take the bait.
Damian turned his full attention to her.
“Five good reasons you should adopt me and I'll let you,” Damian said with a smirk.
“I could pull you out of school as your legal guardian instead of kidnapping you. I could pick you up from the manor whenever you don’t feel like dealing with your family, and again, it won’t be kidnapping. The chaos of a random person the Waynes don’t know somehow having a legal claim over you. Being able to take you to the other side of the country or world and no one questions it. Confusing the public about, is there another Wayne or is this just a family friend.” Marinette lists off the top of her head.
Damian was slightly impressed.
“People assume you get kidnapped a lot when in reality I’m just taking you to a place to chill or hang out.” Marinette realized, her tone full of amusement as she said this out loud.
“Your reasons make enough sense,” Damian said with a shrug. “You can adopt me.”
“Cool.” Marinette cheered as she began typing on her laptop.
Damian watched Marinette easily hack into his files.
“How should I present myself as your guardian?” Marinette questioned.
“Tch. You’re my older sister by blood on mother’s side and a legal adult that should be enough.” Damian states.
“True, but the public knows that your relationship with our mother’s side is bad, to say the least. To randomly have your sister from that side of the family take a claim to you might seem suspicious.” Marinette informed him.
Damian shrugged. “You’re a well-known figure in the fashion world, food world, and the world of charity funds. Plus it’s a commonly known fact that you are emancipated. I don’t see the problem.”
Marinette nods her head. “I’ll have Max get all the legal papers printed and sent to myself before the next time I kidnap you.” She claimed with a smirk.
“If that ‘kidnaping’ could be from school it would be appreciated,” Damian said going back to drawing.
“Sure thing house cat.” Marinette cheered, earning her an eraser smack to the forehead.

Marinette walked into Gotham Academy, heading to the front office.
She was aware of the people watching her walk in, after all, it must be fairly strange for the CEO of Miracles Corporation to be at a high school without anyone knowing in advance. Marinette could feel the chaos radiate off the students who had most likely taken out their phones to take pictures and post about her seemingly random appearance at the school.
Walking into the office, Marinette left the door open as she began to talk with the receptionist.
“Hello, I’m here to pull my little brother out of school for the day, although it might turn into a week,” Marinette claimed with a smile and a shrug
The receptionist blinked owlishly a few times before seeming to come to her senses.
“Of course, Uhm, who will you be picking up, and what’s the reason?” The receptionist asked.
“Damian Al-Ghul Wayne. I’m his older half-sister, Marie Anette Al-Ghul, so I should be on his file as one of his legal guardians.” Marinette explains.
“Uhhh, I’ll check Mr. Way-... Al-Ghul Wayne’s file.” The receptionist claimed, typing away on her keyboard.
“Ah, here it is. There’s a note saying you would bring in a physical copy of all of the official paperwork when you stopped by the school in person.” The receptionist states.
“Yup! Here you go.” Marinette said with a cheer, handing over the documents.
“Alright, looks like all the papers are in order. I’ll just need the reason for his absence and the length of time we should expect him to be gone for.” The receptionist claimed before calling Damian up to the office.
“Damian Al-Ghul Wayne, Please come to the office for dismissal. Damian Al-Ghul Wayne, Please come to the office for dismissal.” Was announced over the loudspeakers.
“I’ll be in Gotham for the next few months and want to spend time with my little brother. I will only be taking Damian out of school for a week though, not the entire length of my visit. He will be back in school for next Friday’s classes.” Marinette informed the receptionist.
There was a knock on the office door, the movement pushing the door open. You could tell that Damian had been about to say something but instead, he launched forward pulling Marinette into a hug.
Marinette pulled away from Damian to ruffle his hair.
“Ready to go Dames?” She questioned. Receiving an enthusiastic nod.
With a quick thanks to the receptionist, Marinette left the school campus with Damian, driving off in her sleek black car.
The Al-Ghule siblings later laughed as Damian’s phone was blown up by the Waynes asking questions about his sister they had never been told about.
They found it hilarious, especially with the trending video that one of the students took, recording Marinette’s whole interaction with the receptionist.
Tabloids had already started putting out articles about them. Marinette’s personal favorite is the one where they speculated her being a Wayne even though Marinette had said her full legal name on the video. All they really had to do was look up the name ‘Marie Anette Al-Ghul’ and they could find anything they wanted about her, but instead, they only speculated.
Who knew that signing a few papers would create this much chaos?
HOLY SHIT ????????
Guys I don’t normally post petitions, but if you can please sign. This is cruel. They are people to and deserve to be able to get the help they need.
The US has come up with a guideline that would deny people with learning disabilities and severe cognitive delays the right to critical care if they get the coronavirus.
This is a nightmare because this is how Hitler once began euthanizing the mentally ill in hospitals. This is how eugenics started. Please, please do one of the following to stop this guideline from continuing:
- Start a petition to the appropriate officials
- Talk with your local officials & share your concerns
- Share this post everywhere & make your friends & family aware of the issue. This is important.

HEY IF YOURE IN THE US. CONGRESS IS TRYING TO END ENCRYPTION SO THEY CAN POSSIBLY LIMIT OUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH UNDER “FOR THE CHILDREN” ITS BEEN AT THE START OF THE PANDEMIC AND NOW AT THE SENATE, CALL YR REPS AND TELL THEM YOUR AGAINST THE EARN IT BILL. TELL THEM ITS THE END OF FREE SPEECH.
PLEASE PLEASE SIGN THIS AND REBLOG! IF YR NOT IN THE US AND WANNA TRY* AND HELP. REBLOG THIS AND LET OTHER US CITIZENS KNOW. edit; i didn’t realize apparently signing if your not a us citizen invalidates it, so please DON’T sign it if youre not in the us. please reblog this version if you can. also the thing about this bill is it fucks over digital security in general as in you can get hacked easily, or hackers can gain access to things without encryption.
Summary: The Dupain-Chengs have had enough of Paris, they’re tired of their daughter being bullied by those she once called her friends. In an effort to escape the pain of Paris they move to the most crime ridden city in the world for a spice of something new.
Note: I changed the year things happened if you couldn’t tell. Instead of becoming Ladybug at thirteen it happened at the age of twelve. This part is Marinette explaining to the Bats (minus Barbara) about her past, what happened in Paris, and why she should help them.

•••
Marinette had given both Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson, otherwise known as Batman and Robin respectively, when she jumped off a building the first time only to have a yoyo appear at her side and used as a grappling hook. When they met on a roof a bit away she just laughed at their stunned faces, taking a bit of pride in it. The girl missed free running but Gotham wasn’t her territory and she wasn’t going back to Paris unless the Akumas come back. She seriously was having withdrawls when it came to the lack of a superhero identity.
