Shadows & Spools 📍Gotham AU | Marinette x Damian Wayne | Maribat Social Media AU
After the lies, the rumors, and the betrayal that left her heartbroken and humiliated in Paris, Marinette Dupain-Cheng is done pretending everything's fine. Needing a fresh start and a little space to breathe, she transfers to Gotham Academy - new city, new school, new identity... and definitely no more superheroes.
Well, that was the plan.
Enter Damian Wayne: cold, broody, brilliant, and completely impossible to work with. When they're paired for a class project, sparks fly - the bad kind, at first. But secrets don't stay hidden in Gotham for long. And when Ladybug crosses paths with Robin during a late-night patrol, their double lives start to unravel, thread by thread.
Through Instagram posts, chaotic group chats, texting wars, and rare heart-to-hearts in real life, Marinette and Damian discover that sometimes the person you least expect might just be the one who stitches you back together.
📸 Enemies to reluctant allies to something way more complicated.
🖤 DC x Miraculous crossover.
🧵 Slow-burn, soft moments, and savage comebacks.

The Emotional Turmoil of Damian Wayne | Damianette (Maribat)
Damian always assumed that the discomforting emotions he felt in Marinette's presence were because he couldn't stand the woman. However after an unlikely encounter in a darkened alley, Damian comes to the harrowing realisation that he has actually been in love with her the entire time. What's worse? Marinette is under the assumption that Damian hates her. Damian needs to fix this, if he can only figure out how to talk to her without dissolving into an emotional mess. Prompt: Imagine a world where we didn't hate each other. That would be so (fill in the blank) --- This is literally watching Damian turn into goo around Marinette after realizing he loves her. (This was originally a one-shot on Ao3 but I separated it into chapters here because a 28k one-shot is excessive. It only ended up that way because it was originally part of a Maribat writing contest and couldn't be a chapter fic. (Spoiler: I am the MGI 2024 Maribat Secret Writers champion! This was my round 3 submission.))Complete

And on top of that, Mari is broken, thanks to her parents and Lila.

Jason wasn't expecting to end up with bubbly, sweet class body president as his ruthless, bloodthirsty Clash Of Villains partner and he certainly didn't expect the instant attraction between them to become something more. Together in Paris, the city of love, Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Jason Todd live together in her warm bakery practicing their online fighting skills when they're not fighting crime in real life. Distracted by heroism, school, work and play, the two barely have time to fall in love. Yet, spectacularly, they manage. They fall together, as civilians, as partners, as heroes and even as trauma survivors. After all they've been through...they could survive anything -can't they? Yet the more time they spend getting to know their Clash of Villains partner, the more information they have, the more suspicious they come and they start to pull away from one another. Lies push people apart. Secrets destroy others. Do they learn to accept each other despite their pasts, their secrets and their uncertain futures, or will they accept the loneliness as a permanent part of their lives...?Complete
