The Negative (song fic) One-Shot

Song (The Negative from Waitress the Musical)

Marinette Dupain-Cheng was panicking. She’d done something so incredibly stupid, she wasn’t sure how the universe hadn’t imploded. How could she do this? How- why did she think that it was a good idea? Tightening her grip on the plastic bag in her hand, she reaches up to knock on her friends’ door. She couldn’t be alone for this.

“Oooo, honey, you don’t look so good.” Harley says, frowning and immediately yanking the door wider to let her in. Marinette huffs.

“Thanks, Harls.” She says sarcastically, a small grin on her face.

“What did we do to have you grace our presence today, Mari?” Ivy asks, drying her hands off on a towel as she walks out of the kitchen. “Did you need to steal another magical piece of jewelry?” She asks. Marinette snorts at the memory.

“If it was that, I’d just get Selina. She’s much more focused.” She teases. Ivy rolls her eyes.

“It is not my fault that there were so many plants in that museum. They were angry and needed liberation.” Ivy says firmly. Marinette shakes her head.

“Yeah, yeah, I know. But when I need to steal jewelry, Selina’s my go to now.” She says, trying to ignore the way the plastic bag feels like it’s grown ten pounds.

“So uh, what’s in the bag?” Harley asks, eyeing it suspiciously. Marinette gulps.

“A pregnancy test.” She says. Harley and Ivy’s eyes both widen.

“What’re you gonna do?” Harley asks, glancing between Marinette’s flat stomach and the bag. Marinette shrugs, ignoring the tears pricking at her eyes.

“Avoid it?” She suggests. Harley snorts.

“Avoidin’ it ain’t gonna make it go away.” She says. Marinette drops her face into her hands, not even struggling as one of Ivy’s vines snakes over and yanks the bag away from her. She couldn’t do this. This wasn’t- she didn’t plan this. It was a stupid one night stand. He was her friend. This couldn’t be happening.

“Okay, M, time to pee on a stick.” Ivy says softly. Marinette groans, looking up at her friends with a frown.

“I- I don’t wanna know.” She says softly. Harley gently grabs her hand, drawing small circles on it as she tugs her towards the bathroom.

“C'mon sweetie, it's better to know. We’ll be right here with you.” Harley says.

“It’s no or it’s yes, but either way you’ve got to take the test.” Ivy adds.

“A squat and a squeeze, a prayer and a please, it’s nothin’.” Harley says, hopping up on the bathroom counter and pulling the test out of the bag. “A stick an’ a line-”

“Just one of ‘em- if I’m lucky.” Marinette whispers, wringing her hands together. Harley opens up the box, pulling out the test and the instructions. Marinette whimpers slightly. She might be in her thirties, but she wasn’t ready to be a mom. That hadn’t been the course her life was going for a while now. Not since she took over Guardianship of the Miracle Box and was forced to go across the world helping in magical crises and retrieve miraculous around the world.

“Read the instructions, Harley.” Ivy says, crossing her arms. Harley nods.

“Se puede saber la duración de la-” Harley starts. Marinette snorts, throwing her hand over her mouth as she tries to suppress her laughter. Harley grins and Ivy rolls her eyes, acting annoyed. Marinette knew it was just an act, because she could see the fondness in her friend’s eyes.

“English.” Ivy says exasperatedly.

“Do not insert the test stick into your vagina.” Harley says simply. Marinette shakes her head, the panic beginning to creep back up.

“Wow. Thank you Harls.” Ivy says, obviously suppressing a smile. Marinette takes the test from Ivy and gently pushes the other two out of the bathroom so that she could do the thing she’d been dreading. Faintly, she can hear her friends’ worried conversation on the other side of the door. Setting the test stick back on the box on the counter, Marinette washes her hands, groaning at her stupidity.

“How'd I ever get myself in this mess? One drunk night and that stupid red dress.” She rambles, shoving open the bathroom door.

“Aw, I love that red dress! The way it sparkles, it looks like an ice-skating outfit!” Harley says brightly. Marinette gives her a look and she pouts. “Maybe his machinery is broken somehow? What if his boys don't swim, I mean, wow! Miraculous luck!” She adds. Marinette groans at the pun. If she was in the mood for puns, she would have portalled to Paris.

“Yeah, miraculous! To get away with it unprotected fu-” Ivy starts, but Marinette cuts her off.

“Funny how one night can ruin your whole life.” She says.

“Don't go there yet, we don't know what the test says.” Ivy and Harley say in sync, raising their eyebrows at each other. Marinette shakes her head.

“I’m already panicked!” She yells.

“Just calm down, god damn it!” Ivy says firmly. Marinette nods, taking in a shaky breath. “Now, M, care to explain what happened?” Ivy asks. Marinette frowns and Harley gasps.

“It’s not the Bat’s kid, is it?” She asks with wide eyes. Marinette’s eyes widen slightly. She hadn’t been talking to the Bat- Bruce (he was, quite frankly, awful at keeping his identity a secret)- for very long. Maybe a month. In the panic of everything else, she’d completely forgotten about him. How would he react? Because it definitely wasn’t his.

“I haven’t slept with him.” Marinette admits. Ivy frowns, before her eyes widen.

“You don’t mean-” She starts, obviously remembering Marinette’s friends with benefits situation. She nods and Harley pouts.

“I thought you don’t sleep with him anymore.” She says. Marinette huffs, pushing her hair out of her face.

“Yeah, well- we were on a case and we got drunk. I do stupid things when I drink- like sleep with Constantine.” Marinette sighs. She’d been ‘friends’ with John Constantine for almost ten years. They’d had a tentative friends with benefits situation a year ago, but then they’d completely cut it off five months ago. Before going on another case together and getting drunk almost three months ago. She was so screwed.

“This will all be all right.” Ivy reassures her, patting her back.

“It was only one night.” Harley offers. The soft chirp of the alarm alerts them that it had been five minutes. Marinette looks at her friends with wide eyes.

“The test is ready.” She says, walking back into the bathroom. With shaking hands, she picks up the test and glances down at it. At the two clear lines.

“Shit.”

I love your Constantine x Marinette AU! Its definitely a rare pair I love! Could you please do a Constantine x Marinette, where JL know that Constantine is married but they don't know to whom, and they become super shocked at the fact that he's married to Marinette.

I had like five different versions of how I wanted this to go and I literally could not decide for the longest time which I liked more I am so sorry for the wait r i p

John isn’t what one would call a ‘good person’.

In fact, he’s sure there’s a whole dictionary of words to use before anyone ever arrived at ‘good’. Selfish, callous, rude, crass, a right bloody dick—the list goes on. So, the fact that he somehow found himself married (which is a miracle in itself, honestly) to the definition of ‘complete and utter sweetheart’, well… it’s bloody barmy is what it is.

It’s no wonder people are so damn surprised after finding out who the missus is.

Not that, mind you, John gives them a break for their admittedly valid reactions. He’s still an asshole, after all.

“What’s with all the slack jaws?” John drawls with false confusion. “It’s no secret I got hitched last year.”

“I- Well, yes,” Flash says, eyes practically popping out of his mask. “But you never said who it was to. And, I mean, I kinda figured you were lying or playing some sort of joke or something.”

John raises an amused eyebrow. “Sorry to disappoint then, speedy, but I really am off the market.”

“Are we just-” Lantern says a bit hysterically, “are we just ignoring that it was Menagerie who you apparently married? Menagerie. As in, Superman’s sister Menagerie.”

A thought seems to come to him—which John thinks must be a first—and Hal whips around to face Supes.

“Did you know about this?!” he accuses.

Superman blinks at him with that sort of country boy innocence that somehow skipped right over Marinette. “‘Course I knew. Who else was supposed to be the Maid of Honor?”

Lantern’s mouth opens and closes uselessly.

“And the dress looked fantastic on you, Supes,” John compliments, just to see if Lantern’s head will actually explode. “But not as great as it looked on Diana.”

“Diana knew too?” Flash asks, whirling on said amazonian.

“Menagerie is a beloved shield sister of mine. I was honored to support her during her handfasting.”

Flash groans. “Did everyone but me and Hal know?”

The other heroes all share a look before, as one, they answer, “yes.”

[marauderundercover]

Okay so y'all remember that one shot I posted about Marinette and Constantine? (fic here) Okay, okay, now that you're caught up- someone remind me to write a follow up with this prompt because omg that would be perfect

“And how many claws does Stewie have?” you ask your daughter as you consult the list your mother gave you. You need to figure out if your daughter’s invisible friend is a monster, demon, or fairy and if you have to kill it to save her.

[lady-literature]

I just wanna say I love your work. And for a prompt maybe "Wait, you guys are together?!" With your choice of a Maribat ship please?

thank you! 🧡 My choice of maribat ship is almost always jasonette but ya know what? Life is nothing without ~flavor~

(part of marinette kent au ofc)

She hadn’t been keeping it a secret exactly. She and Clark don’t have secrets anyway, not from each other.

(It’s impossible to keep them even if they wanted to anyway. When one sibling has super-hearing and the other an intuition on par with future sight most days, it doesn’t exactly foster an environment of secrecy.)

But that was just the problem, Marinette supposed. 

She wasn’t hiding anything, but she never outright said anything either because she’d mostly assumed Clark already knew.

A miscalculation, if the distressed shouting of, “Wait- you and Constantine are together?” from her little brother is anything to go by.

John, the bastard, looks some strange mixture of smug and offended while Marinette has her face in her hands, unsure if she should start laughing or crying.

(She might just do both, honestly. Both sounds really good about now.)

[lady-literature]

Happy Holidays, Constantine x Marinette???

takes place in my Marinette Kent au (also, I suppose, this could be in the same universe)

The first time she meets Constantine, he’s hustling three demons out of everything they have.

One thing out of that ‘everything’ happens to be a Miraculous, and he catches her with her hand already halfway out of his pocket, locket already in hand.

They stare at each other for a long moment, his eyebrow cocked with something like arrogance and curiosity, and her face twisted into a snarl.

“Well,” he drawls, “you could’ve at least bought me dinner first, pet.”

Marinette scoffs. “You’re not exactly my type.”

“I’ve got a hand down my trousers that says otherwise, love,” he quips, fast and sharp and she knows, quite plainly, that this won’t end well for her.

(Five years later, when she finds herself getting dragged into ridiculous feuds with demons because her boyfriend can’t keep his damn mouth shut, she can’t say she was wrong, even if she wasn’t quite right either.)

[lady-literature]

Ooh! Ooh! Trick or Treat!

Constantine×Marinette, please (think of the sass!), and the prompt "This time, you're explaining why we're late to Bruce!"

man i barely remember how Constantine acts

***

“It’ll be easy, he says. It will only take a second, he says. I promise we won’t be late again, he says.”

“Okay! I get it!” Constantine shouts, pressing his back more firmly to her own as he pushes back against his own hell beasts. (And seriously? Hell beasts? Can’t the demons Constantine pisses off ever get creative?) “I’m an asshole and a liar, tell us something new!”

Five minutes later, when they’re tired and out of breath and all the beasts are gone or in various bits across the floor, Constantine wraps both arms around her waist and pulls her close. Her arms go around his neck automatically but she dodges the kiss he tries to give her, glaring at him.

“I’m mad.”

He huffs, lip quirking upwards. “Yeah, luv. I know.”

When her expression doesn’t change he sighs, shoulder slumping and head thrown back like the drama queen he is. “Fine, fine! I’ll make it up to you. Promise.”

She stares at him for a whole two seconds before she pulls him down for a toe-curling kiss. “Fine,” she agrees magnanimously, “But you’re explaining to Bruce why we were late.”

[autisticrosewilson]

That's so cute! Marinette would be upset that she missed it if it was the toddlers first time doing anything magical. Personally I like Constanette or Maybe HellBug? Because he went by Hellblazer for a while there and I think it sounds bad ass

AU where Diana and Marinette are old friends or something. Hawkmoth has been defeated for years and her and luka or whoever have a nice life together and eventually have kids. The justice league knows of them but like, they don't interact much. Until one day Diana calls an emergency meeting and the JL walks in to find her panicking and they're like oh shit she's never scared what happened is the universe ending or something? No turns out she now has to babysit Mari's kids for a weekend. Everyone else is like well that's not so bad until the kids show up and they all have miraculous of their own (at least one has the fox because it wouldn't be chaotic enough without it, if you don't make her end up with chat maybe the black cat miraculous too for extra chaos) and the kids are just complete hellions. Shenanigans ensue. Bonus points if Mari gave them the the spell book to watch over because they don't want to leave it alone but they also can't risk taking it so the kids have access to a fuck ton of magic too.

[marauderundercover]

pieces fall right into place

Background here

“Mama! Monster!” Marinette immediately leaps off of the couch and rushes to her daughter’s room, heart pounding in her chest. Bursting into the dark room, Marinette immediately flips the overhead light on, scanning the room for any intruders. 

“Where’d the monster go, baby?” Marinette asks softly, scooping her daughter into her arms. Eléonore sniffles before pointing towards the closet. Now most people, when asking a two-year old about the monster they saw, would reassure the toddler that there was no monster. And that the closet was empty. But Marinette wasn’t stupid. She’d been friends with John Constantine for years, after all. Instead of going towards the closet, Marinette slowly backs out of the room. There was the chance, obviously, that there wasn’t actually a monster. That her daughter had merely had a bad dream because of all of the boxes that were stacked in her room. But Marinette wasn’t stupid. And she wasn’t going to take any chances. The second she’s out of the room, she rushes to the closet that John had warded for her when she first moved in almost five years ago. Ella cuddles closer as Marinette steps into the closet, crouching to avoid hitting her head on the shelves. Sitting with her back pressed against the back of the closet, Marinette takes a second to take in a shaky breath before pulling out her phone. 

“‘Ello.” The familiar voice says, and Marinette’s relieved that he actually sounds calm for once. There’d been several times in the past where she’d called and literally heard the wails of the damned in the background. 

“Eléonore saw a monster in her room.” Marinette says, skipping straight to the point. 

“What did it look like?” John asks, and Marinette scoffs. 

“I didn’t stick around to look, John. I was a little busy making sure our daughter was safe.” She points out. 

“Right. Can you ask Ella what color it was? She’s pretty good at colors.” John says. Marinette gently pushes the baby hairs out of her daughter’s face. 

“Hey bébé, dad has a question about the monster.” Marinette says softly. Ella immediately sits up, a huge grin spread across her face. Marinette smiles, despite the situation, and presses the speaker button. 

“Hi daddy!” Ella says. 

“Hello love, mama says you saw a monster.” John says, his voice immediately far softer than it had been when he was talking to Marinette. Ella nods. 

“Scary monster.” She affirms. 

“I know, sweetheart. Can you tell me what color it was? I’m on my way to help.” He says, and Marinette feels her shoulders slump in relief. When it came to magic or supernatural problems that came about, she was glad that she’d always been able to call John. Their friendship (and yes, despite their daughter it would only ever be platonic between them) had been one of her first outside of the original Miraculous team. Ever since stepping out of Paris and into the world as a whole, she’d had John to rely on. Even if he could be a complete ass at times. Marinette vaguely listens to Ella and John, only really focusing when John calls her name. Glancing down at their daughter, she realizes that she’d fallen asleep.

“Sorry, what?” Marinette asks. John huffs. 

“I’ve gotta get off the line, but I’m almost at your apartment. Call your fiance, would ya? No need to have him panic if Oracle spots me in the area. And tell him to stay clear til I’ve checked out the area.” He says. Marinette agrees and hangs up before quickly dialing Bruce. 

“Hello darling. Everything alright? I thought you said you were going to bed early tonight.” Bruce says, the worry obvious in his voice. 

“Ella saw a monster in her room. John’s on his way to check it out for us.” Marinette says with a sigh. 

“What? Are you both okay? Do I need to come over? I can be there in less than five minutes.” He rambles. 

“We’re fine. We’re in a safe place, mon amour, I promise. John said not to come over until he’s checked it out.” She says. Bruce grumbles lowly, and Marinette suppresses a snort. Bruce and John were definitely…reluctant to interact as much as they did. John was more okay with it, simply because of the fact that he knew it annoyed Bruce. But for Marinette, it was important to her that the three of them worked together and got along, for Eléonore. Even though they’d been working at it for two years, it was still hard at times. But they made it work. 

“Perhaps you should come stay here tonight.” Bruce offered, and Marinette couldn’t help but smile. 

“Trying to get us to move in quicker?” She teases. 

“I just- I worry about you. Both of you.” He says, his voice serious. 

“I know, love. I just- the wards on the closet-” She starts, but Bruce cuts her off. 

“About that-” He starts. “I actually asked Constantine to add some wards to the Manor.” He says. Marinette blinks in shock. Bruce, who was notorious for not accepting help, had reached out to someone he wasn’t a huge fan of. 

“What?” Marinette asks, her voice barely above a whisper. 

“He told me once that he has more enemies than I do. Enemies that aren’t deterred by the security I already have on the Manor. I thought…I needed to make sure that you and Ella would be safe. Constantine agreed, obviously.” He explains. Marinette feels warmth flood her chest. 

“I love you.” She says, grinning softly, and she’s almost able to tune out the sounds of the fight outside of the small closet. Obviously life wasn’t going to be easy. She’d known that from the moment she saw the two lines on the test. But she knew it would all work out in the end.

maybe one of my followers knows where there might be some more?

[autisticrosewilson]

Don't worry about it I get what you're trying to say! I'm like, 5 seconds from creating an entire cast of children for them tbh.

It's be so cool if you wrote this! But I totally understand where you're coming from, I have like 4 different one shots in my drafts and no motivation to write any of them.

Constanette it is! I also find Hellbug appealing.

Mari would probably have this teenage son/daughter with these little kids then go crazy with them. (using magic) (dunno how to explain this scenario in my mind)

Btw I kinda want to write this. I just don't know when since I'm kinda busy with stuff. (I still have an on going fanfic that I haven't posted yet)

Imagine all the kids have magic plus with the miraculouses. Then there is this one cute little toddler ,who can't hold a miraculous yet, who accidentally conjures magic. And the ship name? I dunno. I was thinking about Marintine?Constanette?
