Aged-up Stories

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

Chloe stood at her boudoir applying makeup. She didn't notice the tiny insect approaching in the reflection until after it had crawled up her collar and onto the chain of her necklace. It tickled her throat, which drew her eye to the speck of red. She shrieked. She swatted. The monster disappeared; squashed or escaped, she didn't know. But it left something. The feeling was very brief, cool and tenderly warm at the same time, all across her body - probably her imagination. But for just a moment, Chloe would have sworn her necklace glowed red. Something purple flashed in the corner of her eye. When she caught her breath and looked around, the colors in the room gleamed brighter; her mind felt clearer. She stared at her mascara pen, sourceless feelings of sadness and confusion washing through her. Afterward, everything was different. Published on AO3 as "After the Ladybug" by Minythil.

This still continue part 1 of the love story where tragedy sends Adrien Agreste racing back to Paris to run his father's fashion house, Marinette doesn't expect much from her very new, very rich boss. At least not until she is set up on a blind date with a very familiar face. Much to her surprise, Adrien Agreste was hiding far more secrets behind his stoic business-like mask of temporary CEO. Maybe as many secrets as she had been trying to hide for years. As they grow closer, Marinette fears her mask isn't nearly as foolproof.

I included my username on the paper, too, so you can add me once you're done." Her partner skimmed through the words on the paper and nodded his head. "Brilliant as always, M'lady. I'm surprised we didn't figure this out sooner within our superhero careers." "Yeah, it would've been nice to have this before, but hey, better late than never. Make sure not to have your phone screen on the messages if you're going to leave it somewhere. We don't want anyone reading our texts. Also, this is for emergencies only. No jokes or puns. I can only deal with you for so long." "I don't know if I can agree to that last one," he said.
