The Fallen Bug

After defeating Hawkmoth, Marinette needs a break. She makes the decision to leave Paris, away from the trauma that she has suffered, and to protect the miraculous. Applying for an exchange program, she moves to Gotham and begins the process of healing from broken trust and relationships. She makes the decision to keep up with hero work, unable to completely rid herself of what she had been for so long. Just as she finally begins to feel at peace, the vigilantes of Gotham find out about her, and her class begins to show up. After running from her past and finding a new place for herself, will Marinette have to fight to keep the peace that she's found?

Damien Wayne never understood how lonely he felt, until Marinette walks into his life. He is still fighting the Demons of his past, and in an overly boisterous and emotion filled family he's always felt out of place. Now both she and Luka have given him a sense of home. When danger strikes, and the past starts rearing his ugly head, he will do anything to keep what he's found.

*This is both a Marinette and Damien Healing story. Lots of fluff, smut, and love for the characters ensue. Polyamory acceptance, new friendships, and some angst thrown in.* this story not mines
