MIRACULOUS / DC HERO FANFIC Everyone knows that Damian Wayne doesn't have any friends; he pushes away anyone who wants to get close to him, denies those close to him the knowledge that he cares, vehemently refuses to be in the presence of wanna-be suitors. He simply isn't social. Marinette Dupain-Cheng changed that, changed the way he views friendship- -though he'd still deny that he's friends with anyone- -and it's not long before their friendship, that grew when she arrived at Gotham Academy, turns into romance, which turns into shared promises and midnight kisses. Once again everything would change when Marinette was brought back to France by her parents, them declaring that it's been long enough for her to be okay finishing her senior year at 'home'. Only, Paris wasn't home to her, not anymore. Senior year started just as she expected: Immediately bombarded by her old peers and Lila, questioning her, begging for answers, picking apart the differences in how they remember her and how she is now. She hated it. It was only when Marinette heard Lila's lies of being the girlfriend to the heir of Wayne Enterprises himself that she decides to end it all. She had to stop the lies, and Marinette knew how. // Also available on AO3, under the same name and profile name "whoscountinganyway" This is the first book.

Marinette is the Star of the Order of the Miraculous, the still-in-training head, as well as the True Ladybug leading the Court of Miracles. After years at Hawkmoth's mercy, Marinette has decided that enough is enough and is reaching out to Batman, the detective of detectives to help her track down the villian's true identity. What better way to do this than a field trip to Gotham? Damian, the bloodson and heir to both the Cowl and the Demon's Head, wants nothing to do with the French Class who has won the Wayne Enterprises Summer Internship, yet his father insists he needs better interpersonal skills. He supposes it won't kill him to try to work with this supposedly skilled class president if it means that everyone will get off his back for being 'aggressively asocial' (although he will still keep NDAs on standby). A seal of fate, a blood right, and a hidden prophecy lead Marinette and Damian on a rollercoaster of emotions, humourous misunderstandings, and comeuppance -- and marriage?! ___ Basically my attempt at a soulmate AU, full of just about every Damianette cliche and trope I can think of. And some original lore to make it work. Updating Monthly (at the minimum) Crossposted on Ao3 @otome_wandering (main updates are there) Maribat Awards 2024 winner

Eris Vanserra x Myrra (Rhys and Feyre's Daughter) - SPICY 18+! Fate works in mysterious ways when the Lady of Autumn's memories are stolen, and Myrra is summoned to the foreign Court to help. As a Specialist Healer with the rare ability to Dream Walk into the subconscious, she guides others through buried traumas and forgotten memories. When Helion comes and asks her to help his former love, she volunteers without hesitation - her quick decision having absolutely nothing to do with the red headed male she met on the battlefield the year before... (or so she tells herself.) Stepping into the Autumn Court means Myrra is stepping into Eris Vanserra's world - a world of secrets, scars, and amber eyes that ignite more than just her fire magic. As Myrra delves deeper into the Lady of Autumn's mind, she uncovers more than just lost memories, but an understanding of the male who's been plaguing her thoughts. This is the story where Eris gets the redemption he deserves, revealing the layers beneath his mask and the reasons behind his seemingly-heartless choices. Trigger warnings: ✧This is a spicy story so things will become 18+ as the story progresses ✧References child abuse and spousal abuse (Beron is an absolutely horrible person in this story) ✧A little bit of gore (mentions of some blood or burning people to ash, nothing too graphic though) I do not own any of these characters and this is a fanfic made for the fun of writing and my undying love of red headed fictional men!

In seventeen-year-old Mia's world, Greek Gods have certainly made their presence known. That's right. Zeus, Hera, Poseideon. They were all real. Even more, people have actually seen them, met them, and sometimes, fell in love with them. They were hailed as supernatural beings, ones that were to be worshiped until the end. But to Mia, it was quite the opposite. For starters, she doesn't even think that they're even that powerful. Yeah, sure, there's thousands of stories about them conquering giant beasts and saving cities from devastating monsters, but those could all be made up. So when these gods come after Mia for a prophecy regarding one of the strongest--and most chaotic--of Olympians, you can certainly bet that she was more than shocked. - - - "You will either be his saving grace or his downfall." - - - Highest rankings (2/27/21): ares - #1 apollo - #9 gods - #1 zeus - #1 hades - #2 athena - #2 greece - #1 greekmythology - #1 Oracle - #2

"In Basgiath, survival is a battle. But when dragons dictate the bonds of fate, some battles are already lost." Lydia Evermore has spent her life fighting to survive-first in a home that sought to break her, and now in the deadly halls of Basgiath War College. She didn't come here to win glory. She came for one reason: to live long enough to never go back. But Basgiath doesn't reward survival. It devours the weak. The Parapet, the Gauntlet, the dragons-they're all designed to cull the unworthy. And somehow, she endures. When a fierce green daggertail chooses her, Lydia thinks she might finally have a chance to carve out a future for herself. Until she realizes her dragon is bonded to Chradh, the mate of a second-year's powerful scorpiontail-binding her to Garrick Tavis, a soldier as unreadable as he is dangerous. Their connection is an accident. A risk. A mistake that should never have happened. Because when Lydia's signet finally manifests, it's something rare. Something forbidden. 𝐀 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐬. She can shield herself. She can shield others. But most terrifyingly...she can shield HIM.
