In the shadows of Gotham, trust is a luxury-and love is even deadlier.
Marisol "Mari" Vargas walks the razor's edge between survival and vengeance. A bartender by day and thief by night, she's clawing through the city's underbelly in search of a missing friend-uncovering corruption that runs deeper than she feared. But when her path crosses with the city's masked vigilante, their shared thirst for justice threatens to consume them both.
He's vengeance. She's a ghost with claws.
And in Gotham, nothing stays buried for long.

The Man of Vengeance// BATMAN
After the chaos of the Joker's rampage, Bruce Wayne retreats deeper into the shadows, haunted by the ghosts of his past and a city still clinging to broken hope. But when Selina Kyle returns, every scar he thought he'd hidden starts to ache again. She's unpredictable. Alluring. And dangerous. When a series of strange deaths ripple through Gotham's criminal underworld, Batman and Catwoman find themselves tangled in a mystery no one else dares to touch-one that leads to secrets buried beneath Wayne legacy itself. But trust comes slow, and Selina's secrets may be as deadly as the ones Bruce swore to bury. And in the shadows, something darker stirs. A new enemy is rising. One who doesn't want to kill the Bat- he wants to break him. Body. Mind. And soul. When Gotham falls into chaos once again, Bruce will be forced to face the cost of wearing the mask and what's left of him without it. But this time, he's not alone. Love cuts as deep as vengeance. And in the end, it might be the only thing that saves him. Warning: This story contains mature themes, including violence, death, depression, and suicide

Hearts Collide Where Masks Divide
She fled the City of Light, heartbroken and hunted. He rules the City of Shadows with a blade and a scowl. When Marinette Dupain-Cheng is forced to leave Paris after a betrayal that shatters everything she's fought for, she seeks refuge in Gotham - the one place chaos still makes sense. There, she crosses paths with Damian Wayne: cold, brilliant, and completely infuriating. As civilians, they grow closer. Against all odds, maybe even... fall for each other. But in the dark streets of Gotham, no one is truly who they seem. By day, they share coffees, glances, and growing affection. By night, they clash under masks - as two rival vigilantes on opposite sides of a war they don't even realize they're both in. What happens when love blooms between two enemies? When secrets unravel and identities collide? When the greatest threat isn't the villain in the shadows - but the person behind the mask? This is my first damianette story, please give me feed back :) I do NOT own the characters or the art unless said otherwise I only own the story line Cover art is mine I do really like updating daily but do to some personal issues I will most likely be going to once or twice weekly. I will still try to do it daily #1 mlbxdc (12/20/25) #1 damianette (01/11/26) #1 gothamcity (01/15/26)
Outlaw | 18+
READ TRIGGER WARNINGS! In a world where power is the ultimate weapon and betrayal is currency, the line between hero and villain doesn't just blur... it shatters. She's the woman you're warned about. She's selfish and deadly, you don't see her until you feel the knife in your back. He's the man everyone fears. He's cold-blooded and dark, the embodiment of vengeance in an expensive suit. They should have destroyed each other. But instead, they made a deal. She's playing a game with no rules. He's rewriting them as he goes. Together, they're a storm no one can outrun. Loyalties are broken, alliances burned, and blood spills in their wake. But when the smoke clears, only one thing remains certain, trusting the devil doesn't make you safe... It makes you just like him. She's the sinner. He's the executioner. And in their obsession, no one gets out alive. Some stories don't have heroes. Some don't need them. This is theirs. Outlaw - where survival isn't enough, and obsession is the only law.

Cloaked Intentions.
Title: Shadows and Secrets Blurb: Gotham City doesn't forgive and it doesn't forget-and neither does the man watching over it from the rooftops. As a forensic psychologist brought in to help the GCPD profile Gotham's most dangerous criminals, you've always relied on logic and evidence to make sense of the chaos. But when your cases begin crossing paths with the city's infamous vigilante, Batman, your world gets darker-and more dangerous-than you ever imagined. He's infuriating, secretive, and impossibly brilliant. And he's got a knack for showing up when you least expect it. As you dive deeper into Gotham's twisted underworld, the line between ally and adversary begins to blur. When a new threat emerges, one that ties your past to his present, the stakes become terrifyingly personal. In a city where trust is a weakness and love can be a weapon, the question isn't whether you'll survive Gotham-it's whether you'll survive him. Because in Gotham, secrets don't stay in the shadows-they burn.

Takes place in the Justice League: War/Son of Batman movieverse, post the Justice League vs. Teen Titans, and pre-Justice League Dark. Selina Kyle (Catwoman), disappeared from Gotham City and Bruce Wayne's life 11 years ago. Unbeknownst to him, she gave birth to his daughter, Helena (Huntress), who is now a 10 year old superhero with abilities making her borderline metahuman. But now, someone is after Helena, and they know their identities as Catwoman and Huntress. With nowhere else to turn, Selina returns to Gotham to seek aid from Batman, and introduce him to the daughter he never knew he had. Bruce's son, Damian (Robin), is not happy about Selina's return to his father's life, or that he now has a half-sister. And while Helena is eager to get to know him and her father, Damian wants nothing to do with her. Will these two siblings ever get along? Will Bruce and Selina reconcile their relationship? And who is behind these abduction attempts on Helena? Adventure/Drama/Crime/Angst/Family/Friendship/Mystery/Romance/Supernatural. Pairings: Bruce/Batman and Selina/Catwoman, Damian/Robin and Raven (implied), Dick/Nightwing and Starfire. Rated for fight scenes and some language.
