Daminette December Day 21- Green

@maribat-calendar-events

Part 2 to Daminette December Day 7- Red

“I think you’re all missing a big part of the equation.” Marinette looked at the batfamily over her cup of hot cocoa. “You seem to have forgotten that shades of color exist.”

They paused their arguments to stare at her. “I don’t get your point.” Tim said.

“If Damian is going to paint his room a color he can just pick a lighter shade of green. There are more kinds of green than forest green.”

“Forest green?” Tim murmured as if the concept alluded him, which Marinette really couldn’t understand. 

“Green is green and red is red, no reason to make it complicated Pixie.” Jason fell into one of the lounge chairs and took out a flask. “Besides, Demon Spawn said red so case settled. Dickie-bird’s just being dramatic.”

“Screw you Jason,” a muffled sob came from where dick was hiding his face in his hands.

“Damian doesn’t know the first thing about design. I honestly can’t believe none of you came to me first.” Marinette set her cup down then gestured to herself. “The designer? Hello?” In one corner of the room, Damian was just leaning his head against the wall, regretting every second he decided to stay in this house. “Anyways, red would be an awful color for Damian.”

Dick’s head shot up at her words, the nonexistent tears drying up fast. “Yes!” He jumped up from his seat. “Marinette agrees with me!” Jason rolled his eyes in exasperation, while Marinette just sighed at their antics, nothing could prepare you for the Waynes.

“A nice shamrock green would brighten up the space.” As soon as she made the suggestion everyone’s face scrunched up in disgust. “Yeah, no. Too riddler-esque. And too bright for Damian.”

Even after several minutes, Marinette still couldn’t think of a shade that was both light enough to brighten up the space but dark enough to suit Damian’s sense of style. It’s just who he was, he was dark forest green. Like the night, but a bit more gentle, a bit more mysterious. From where she sat next to Marinette, Cass gestured something to the pigtailed girl and everything clicked into place.

“You’re a genius Cass!” she hugged the girl, only so long as Cass felt comfortable. “ Accents! That will brighten up the room and we don’t have to redo everything.” her brain was firing off a million thoughts a minute. “Light brown furniture, white accents for the floor board and windows. Oh but, the furniture can’t be white since you guys would just bleed all over it and stain it. We’ll have to go shopping!” Standing up , she walked over to where Damian was still standing in a corner and then pulled him by his arm towards the exit. “Let’s go. The quicker we do this the faster it gets done.”

Damian shot daggers at Cass as he was dragged by Marinette, retribution and revenge in his gaze. Meanwhile Dick followed after them, dragging Tim along. “This will be a great family outing. Tim, you need to change your room too. You’ve got nothing but black everywhere, it’s like the batcave 2.0.”

“It’s easier to hide blood stains on black and easier to see the computer screen.”

“Which is why we’re changing. You need sleep, not more time on your computer.” Tim tried to struggle out of Dick’s grip but gave up just as fast. It was too much work fighting against the inevitable.

Daminette December 2023: 7-In a League of their Own (SUB)

Damian sat in his apartment trying to empty his mind. His girlfriend, Marinette Dupain-Cheng, was the most amazing person he ever met. He was still shocked she agreed to date him. Today was one of those days when he thought he was just holding her back from greatness.

'Marinette deserves better than me. She's smart, tactical, and crafty. You would think Mother or Father trained her.'

'Not only is she smart, but she can cook and bake. I'm still learning. I'm sure there's day she wishes she could have a home cooked meal. I can only take her out to resturants or make her breakfast. She makes the most amazing dinners! Everything she makes tastes delicious. Anyone would be lucky to eat her food everyday.'

'She's an amazing business woman. Marinette is practically running her own company and I don't even have full control of Wayne Enterprise! She isn't afraid to tell people off. Mother would have loved her commanding presence. Everyone, including Father, is scared of me.'

'Maybe I should break up with her.'

Damian's thoughts were broken when he doorbell went of continuously.

'Who could that be? Must be Grayson.'

Damian opened the door to see his girlfriend standing there in tears.

'What the fuck?'

Marinette lunged into his arms.

"Who-" he began to demand.

"It's been a really bad day." Marinette cried into his arms, "Can I just stay with you? I always feel better when I'm with you."

Damian took a deep breath and pushed his anger down, for another time.

"Of course." he spoke.

Damian picked her up and set her down on the couch. As she wiped her tears away, he began to take off her shoes and her coat. He went into the kitchen and grabbed her a glass of water to rehydrate and ordered some of her favorite take out, along with her favorite ice cream.

"So, what happened?" he questioned, handing her the water.

Marinette had went on to explain how there had been mix up with a few orders. A person she had fired had put in the orders and when they hadn't come in on time, she called the company only to find out that person had cancelled the orders. Once she told them that person had been fired months ago, they quickly put in motion to send the fabric and other items needed. Unfortunately for her, one of the clients pulled out of her services because of that claiming she was incompetent at her job. That had only been the morning. She had worked through her lunch to tackle anything her ex-employee had touched and caleld companies to ensure that the previous person didn't dictate her orders and informed them of any changes or wrong-doings the person had done. After that, she had to get her lawyers involved as the person was order fabrics under her name and Marinette had never received them. With all the invoices from the companies, her lawyer was sure it would be a clean sweep.

A knock at the door drew their attention away from each other.

"I'll get it." Damian offered.

When he checked the peep hole, he saw the delivery driver holding up the bag of food. He unlocked the door and took the bag. When he turned around, he could see she was surprised to see him holding up food. Marinette just looked at him with tears in her eyes and smiled. Damian quickly set the food down and rushed to her side.

"Is everything okay?" he asked.

Marinette kissed him, leaving him stunned.

"You are the most amazing boyfriend ever." Mari declared, "I'm sure anyone else would be jealous to know my boyfriend is in a league all of his own."

Damian kissed her back, "You may think so, but you Angel are in a league above me."

Marinette cuddled into his arms.

'We can eat the food he got in a few moments.'

Daminette December-- So Close (And Yet So Far), Chapter Seven “Dancer AU”

(The song they're dancing to is 'Teeth' by Five Seconds of Summer. I'd recommend listening to it while reading to get the mood.)

(Also, I really wish I was a professional choreographer or something because I can picture this routine in perfect detail but I am terrier at instructing people and also I can't dance to save my life so for now and forever this masterpiece is stuck in my brain)

———————————————————————————————————–

“Please?” Marinette begged.

“No. Not a chance,” Damian replied.

There was silence for a moment, and Damian almost wondered if Marinette had hung up on him. He would never admit it, but when she spoke again he was a little startled.

“If you don’t help me, I’m destroying the jacket you commissioned me to make,” she told him. Normally, she wouldn’t resort to blackmail, but she was desperate. Her partner was MIA, and nobody else was around to take their place for practice. Felix had a chemistry exam that afternoon, Claude was off campus, Allan was at a track and field meet, and Allegra was working on her own project for the same class.

Damian groaned. “Seriously? All this for one dance?”

“It’s my midterm dance!” she told him. He was sure if she was standing in front of him, her face would be all red and she’d be staring up at him angrily, acting like she was actually intimidating (she was to others, of course, but not to him). 

“Fine, fine,” he conceded. “But I’m not going to be happy about it.”

---------

When Damian arrived at the dance studio, Marinette was already at the barre, doing stretches and hyping herself up. The dance was an intricate one that required a lot of energy and confidence, and she needed time to prep.

"You know I'm not familiar with the routine, right?" Damian asked as he entered the studio. Marinette jumped in surprise but was quickly able to steady herself again.

"Don't worry, I learn best by teaching," she told him. "Now come on, we have to stretch." She neck Ned for him to join her at the barre, and for the next twenty minutes they stretched and Marinette once again apologized for the last-minute request.

"If Thomas was able to be here, he would," Marinette told her interim partner. "But to be honest with you, I don't know if he's as invested in the piece as I wish he was. It requires a lot of emotion and storytelling without saying a word. But basically, just so you have an idea, the plot is a fighting couple, where the guy--that's you-- is trying to repair the relationship, while the girl--me-- is not as innocent as she seems and isn't exactly a good influence on her partner. It ends poorly.

And I'm not expecting you to be perfect at it, but I need someone here to work off of, if that makes sense." Damian nodded in understanding before she continued. "Okay, good. You ready?"

"Why not?" Damian asked.

Marinette laughed and grabbed a remote off the ground by her bag in the corner, and the song they were dancing to started playing. She slipped the remote into her pocket for safekeeping.

"I'm just going to show you my part first, then I'll show you yours, then I'll help you when we put them together," she said over the booming music.

/Some days you're the only thing I know/Only thing that's burning when the nights grow cold/Can't look away, can't look away/Beg you to stay, beg you to stay, yeah/

Marinette performed the first few moves with grace and poise. She looked like she'd been dancing her whole life. Her expression changed, and her normal smile was replaced with a calculating smirk as she started to tell her story with the music.

After the first few bars were over, she grabbed the remote and paused the music. "Okay, now here's your part."

She wasn't as proficient with the guy's part as her own, which made sense, but Damian knew that someone who didn't understand dance wouldn't see a single thing wrong with her performance.

"Do you think you can do that?"

"I won't be as good as you, but I can try." He could have sworn he saw a blush on Marinette's face for a minute, but that might've been a trick of the light or from her dancing.

Marinette started the music again and the two danced together this time. Damian had greatly underestimated his own capabilities, it seemed, as he was easily able to recreate and execute Marinette's steps, even adding a little flair of his own in the fly. Marinette was undoubtedly impressed, and in her head she thanked fate for making everyone else unavailable that day so she could dance with Damian.

"Wow, that was fantastic!" she told him. "Ready for the next part?"

"Yes, I think I am."

The music started again from the beginning. Marinette did the first steps again, but this time she kept going and added in the next few steps.

/Sometimes you're a stranger in my bed/Don't know if you love me or you want me dead/Push me away, push me away/Then beg me to stay, beg me to stay, yeah/

They repeated the same routine as before, Marinette beautifully executing the steps she choreographed (Damian was surprised to learn that she made the routine on her own, and that her partner was unable to help her due to what Damian believed was utter incompetence but Marinette called 'personal reasons' and the fact that he had never danced before this class), Damian surprising Marinette with his ability to catch on to and individualize the routine.

It was at the bridge of the song when things changed.

/Blood on my shirt, rose in my hand/You're looking at me like you don't know who I am/Blood on my shirt, heart in my hand, still beating/

"So with this part, you're going to get down on one knee and hold out a rose to me," Marinette said, demonstrating. "Allegra promised that she'll sit in the front so she can throw the rose to Thomas when this part of the song starts because neither of his can hold it during the rest of the song, and then he'll throw it back to him or backwards on the stage, whichever feels right in the moment. That part isn't as relevant. Meanwhile, I'll be doing a pirouette, and when I stop I'll hold my hand out to you. You won't grab it the first time, but you will the second time. So it's," she stopped to demonstrate.

"'Blood on my shirt,'" she said, putting an accent on shirt as she stopped spinning. "You stay on the ground, then for the 'You're looking at me' part, you're going to get up quickly and do this." She demonstrated the action, pretending she was him and he was her. "Then you'll get back on your knee for the second 'Blood' part, and for 'Still beating' You'll grab my hand after the pirouette and I'll pull you up."

/Fight so dirty but your love so sweet/Talk so pretty but your heart got teeth/Late night devil put your hands on me/And never, never, never, ever let go/

"This part is going to be different than before too," she told him. "There's less movement, but there is needs to be sharp and powerful. After 'Beating' we're going to stay in that position until 'Sweet', when we're going to move like this, away from each other," she said. "Then, on 'teeth,' we move again. Then we wait until 'me,' and this is where we come back together," she added, demonstrating the move by putting her hand on his chest and grabbing one of his hands with the other. She stared up into his eyes before asking, "Got it?"

"Yeah," he muttered, staring right back at her for a moment before remembering who he was, who she was, what they were doing, where he was. "Uh, yes. Yes, I've got it," he stammered, acting very unlike himself. "Got it down. What's next?"

Marinette gave him a playful and reassuring smile. "Then we do the chorus moves again, but we end with me letting go of your hand and turning away while you falling to the ground in despair. It's super depressing, I know, but I felt that it was the best ending for the story."

"I agree," Damian said. "Maybe we should just start again from the top if the rest is all the same as we've done before?"

"Sounds good to me!" Marinette said, and the music began from the beginning.

BONUS:

The duo was unstoppable. If anyone had walked in during this run of the routine, they would have undoubtedly assumed at least one, if not all, of the following things:

1) Damian and Marinette were both professional dancers. No doubt about it.

2) They had fantastic chemistry.

3) They were dating. Or at least hopelessly and secretly in love with each other.

4) Whatever they were dancing for, they would blow everyone else out of the water.

All of those things were correct. Or at least, they soon would be.

———————————————————————————————————–

And it’s back! Chapter seven, after all this time!

I’m going to try to post at least two more chapters before New Year’s Eve. Day 8 is currently in production, but I also have some other stuff going on (on Tumblr and irl) so I’m trying to balance. Thanks for being patient.

Lmk if you want to be added to the tags. Also, all chapters are now up on Ao3! :)

COMING UP NEXT: Chapter 8 “Robin Hood AU”

[daminettes]

Dancer AU

Day Seven : Dancer AU

@daminette-december2019

One would describe Marinette Dupain-Cheng as a silly, clumsy, and dumb baker girl. But she was quite the opposite on stage with her Damian. She was elegant, graceful, extremely confident, and utterly gorgeous. She was amazing.

The same goes with Damian Wayne. Damian was seen as the ice prince of Gotham. He was cold, no dangerously cold. He wasn’t nice. Nice wasn’t his thing. But as soon as he met his new dance partner Marinette, his world flipped right upside down.

Dancing with her, made him so happy. He felt like he was floating on cloud 9. Dance competitions to dancing at clubs. He cherishes those moments with his Angel. The pair were perfect for eachother. They were unstoppable.

“Dami! Look at what I found!” Marinette said while jumping in his lap.

“What is it love,” Damian whispered before pulling Marinette closer to his chest.

“It’s our photo album! Look! All of our dance competitions and nights out are here!” Marinette chirped while flipping through it.

“Look Dami! It’s our first competition that we won together! Do you remember?” Marinette asked.

“How could I forget? That’s when I realized I was in love with you Angel.”

Beginning of Flashback

It was a cold and damp morning in Paris. Yet it was still so gorgeous. Even after a nasty storm, the birds were still chirping. I wish it was always this quiet. Damian thought to himself before being interrupted by Marinette charging into his room.

“Jesus Marinette! Are you trying to give me a heart attack!” Damian joked.

“Sorry Damian! But we have to get ready! We can’t be late. Here you go! I got you some coffee and a cookie! Eat up we have to be down by the theater in an hour! I left your costume on the chair. I’ll see you soon!” Marinette chirped.

“Oh and Damian?” Marinette questioned.

“Yes Marinette?”

“Good morning.” Marinette smiled before rushing out the door.

Gosh she’s adorable. Wait what.

“Dami! Over here!” Marinette yelled from backstage.

Damian quickly turned around and was left in shock.  She was gorgeous. She was wearing a flowy dress that stopped right past her knees. It was light pink. Her favorite color. Her hair was down in lovely curls that suited her face perfectly. God she looked perfect.

Damian practically ran up to her. “You look gorgeous Angel.” Damian said.

“A-Angel?” Marinette choked.

“I-I uh Yes! You look like an angel in that outfit of yours ...Ahah” Damian stuttered. What the heck is wrong with me .

“Oh! Thank you! You look amazing as well… Just one thing.” Marinette said while stepping up to him and fixing his tie. “Now you’re good, Have you warmed up?” Marinette questioned.

“I-I Warm up! Yes yes of course!” Why the heck am I stuttering. Damian thought to himself but was knocked out of his thoughts when a warm hand landed on his shoulder.

“Dami? Are you alright?” Marinette questioned staring up at her .

Blue… So Blue…

“Hello? Earth to Damian? Is anyone there?” Marinette said while waving a hand in front of his face.

“Huh? Oh! S-sorry! I’m just a bit nervous?” Damian said.

“Oh it’s ok! Don’t worry we got this!” Marinette yelped.

“Yes of course.”

Ladies and Gentlemen, Please welcome Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Damian Wayne to the stage.

“You alright Dami?” Marinette asked while offering her hand.

“I have never been better Angel.” Damian whispered before intertwining their hands together.

Every move they made were in sync. Everything was perfect. They were on beat. They were one.

We would like to welcome back the following pairs back to the stage…. Amelie Rose and Francis John, Dottie White and Jay Smith ... and Finally Marinette Dupain-cheng and Damian Wayne.

“We did it! We made it to the top three!” Marinette cheered before pulling Damian in for a bone crushing hug.

“We sure did Angel, Now let’s go. We have a trophy to claim.”

Ladies and Gentlemen… The winners of this competition is ….. Marinette Dupain-cheng and Damian Wayne! Congratulations you too!

“W-we did it!” Marinette said right before jumping into his arms. She couldn’t have asked for a better partner.

End of flashback

“That was a fun day.” Marinette said before placing the scrapbook to the side and snuggling closer to her husband.

“Dami?”

“Mhm?”

“I love you, I couldn’t have asked for a better partner.”

“I love you more Angel.”

[normal-piece-of-shit]

Dancer AU

“And Ladybug wrecks another dancer with her crazy awesome moves !” Nino screamed into the microphone. The crowd roared with approval. “There is no winning against the ladybug! Who else would dare to come forward and try?”

The crowd fell silent, waiting for someone to speak up.

“I'll do it.”

Heads turned around to search for the brave voice. Soon, the crowd had parted to let the boy through. His face and outfit remained hidden in the black cloak he wore.

He walked past everyone confidently, carrying an air that warned anyone from coming closer to him. Ladybug merely rose a brow at him.

“Well, this looks promising!” Carapace speculated. “What do we call you, dude?”

“Call me Robin.” The hood fell back to reveal his vivid green eyes and a domino mask. Gasps and murmurs broke out in the crowd. None could believe the luck they had. They were being blessed with a battle between the miraculous Ladybug and the Robin!

Who would miss an opportunity like that?

“But,” Robin began, “I want to make this more interesting.”

“And how do you plan on that?” Ladybug asked, genuinely curious. The crowd waited with bated breath.

“When you lose, you have to unmask yourself.”

The audience stared at Robin. Some stared in rage while others stared in awe and excitement.

“Why, you little-” Chat Noir stepped forward, filled with fury, before an arm was put in front of him, effortlessly stopping him in his tracks.

“You said 'when'. ” She sounded amused. “I'll let you know it's not going to be that easy. I take my secret identity seriously.”

“I never said it was going to be easy.”

“You implied it. Anyway, If you lose, you're going to have to unmask yourself too.” Some smirked at that.

“I doubt I'd lose.”

“Nino, put the music on random! I want to see what fate has in store for us.” Robin shrugged, indicating he was fine with it.

Ladybug moved gracefully, never once faltering. When she moved she was the fire that attacked huge forests mercilessly. But she was also the warmth that soothed everyone during the coldest of nights.

Robin, however, was the opposite of Ladybug. His moves could be described as the harsh wind during a cool winter night. Not giving a single second of recovery before swooping and destroying anything in sight.

Both of them were enchanting and hard to look away from. They would taken over the world if given a chance. Their styles clashed together, mesmerizing anyone who dared to look.

“Not bad, birdy.” She complimented.

“Can't say the same for you, though.” He retorted.

“Well, someone need helps with their ego.”

“That someone's already got an angel for help.” Ladybug looked at him questioningly, briefly remembering the times Damian had called her that, before going back to the small conversation.

“That angel hasn't done much of a good job.”

“Excuse you? ” He looked scandalized. “I'll have you know that I only respect those who have proved themselves.”

“You remind me of someone.”

“And you need to stop getting off-track.”

She stayed silent after that. Anyone paying close attention would see her letting more of her determination to wreck him show in her moves.

The battle came to an end quickly. The judges, who Robin insisted that he contact, looked to be deep in thought.

Clara Nightingale (Ladybug wasn't about to let Robin choose all of the judges) kept turning to both of them with furrowed brows.

Richard Grayson (God knows how Robin contacted him. Well, maybe ladybug did know how.) still hadn't snapped out of his awed state.

Jagged Stone (They both had agreed on that one.) kept sending secretive smiles to both.

When the results were declared, all hell broke loose. Robin...lost. He lost. And that meant he had to unmask himself. Fuck.

The crowd watched eagerly as Robin reached to his face. Robin removed the mask to reveal a scowling...Damian Wayne?!

“There,” He said, “Are you happy now?”

“I knew it!” Ladybug yelled. “Chat, you owe me 20 euros!”

Damian stared at her. “....What do you mean you knew it?”

Ladybug grinned before reaching to her face and removing her mask to reveal...

“Marinette ?!”

“I thought I'd make it even!”

“What the fuck are you doing here?!” He yelled. “You're supposed to be catching onto your sleep!”

The crowd suddenly felt like they were being rude by third-wheeling.

“I did sleep! Before I woke up ten minutes later because I couldn't sleep?”

“I am not giving you my notes when you fall asleep at class.”

“Well, shit.”

-----------

I'd always wanted to write a breakdancing AU for these two. Too bad I didn't realize how much research and re writing that would take. This reminded me that I had no idea how to write dance scenes.

Daminette December - Day 7 : Dancer AU

@daminette-december2019

Enjoy!!

~~

Ever since she was little, she had been taught that mistakes were not an option. Failure was not and option. It stressed her out to her very core, but, she could not stand the dissapointed looks her parents would give her. So she worked harder, strived for perfection.

Marinette Dupain-Cheng was the best out of the best students in The New York Academy of Dramatic Arts. She was top at almost all of her classes. From contemporary dances to singing. She excelled in all.

So when it was announced that a transfer student would be joining them, she hasn't thought much of it.

When the day of their arrival came however, she found herself not quite believing her eyes.

That- that couldn't be him, right?

It had been years since they last saw each other and they had fallen slowly but surely out of touch.

This couldn't have just been a coincidence.

"Dami?"

~

Damian was anxious.

He hadn't wanted to go A.W.O.L on her. He had actually liked her. Probably as more than a friend, but he wasn't going to admit to that.

It's just, after he died, he went through the pit madness and hadn't wanted to hurt her. So he had cut ties. Even if to this day he regretted it, he knew it was the right choice to protect her from him, at the time.

Now though, years later, he had recovered fully and had tracked her down, hoping to mend the connection between them. He only hoped Marinette didn't hate him.

~

When he got to the academy, he had went straight to his first class. Not expecting to see her there. To see her dancing.

He stood there, bewildered. Amazed. Astonished.

She was the definition of grace. Her movements flowed so easily to the beat of the music. He had missed watching this, watching her. It was so entrancing.

She was so entrancing.

He didn't even realize when the music stopped and she turned to face him. His face broke into a blinding smile, so unlike him and yet, her face was beautiful. Like an Angel's, for that was what he had nicknamed her. Angel.

"Dami?" Her voice was barely a whisper, too shocked to project it.

"Hello Angel. Long time no see." And like his voice had pulled her out of a trance, she immediately rushed to him.

And with that they were both in tears, whilst hugging each other. Content silence filling their thoughts, happy to have met again.

~~

Guyssss I know I'm lateeeee, but I skipped day 8 cuz I'm not that comfortable with writing it. In truth, I don't have any ideas 🙃🙃. Forgive me. 🥺🥺

Daminette December Day 7

@daminette-december2019-2020

((Note: If you’re a confused little muffin who saw our ship in the top 100 list and you want to know what in the ever loving fuck we are, feel free to dm me or mention me in a post or even to send an ask. do be warned tho that if u send me hate i will block and report u (and not just to tumblr, to everyone I know who is part of this fandom). our little sub fandom is not a toxic space and no one is allowed to make it one or there will be a fucking war))

And we’re back to our anxiety induced in denial Damian. I love this kid. Tho I do wanna make him slightly more… how do I say this… like cold? I dunno maybe I can bring that in with other people and his interactions. I just wanna write him with his proper grammar and what not and like lbh this boi is already a simp for Mari. But I don’t wanna let things happen too quickly, y’know?

Anyway, maybe I should make the theme of this chapter the fact that he has absolutely no chill. Lmao, I think that’s hilarious ngl. Also I’m just gonna pretend certain things existed back then for the sake of my sanity I can’t keep coming up with words that make sense for explaining what a thing is without saying the actual word because it didn’t exist yet. The hologram in that one chapter was hard enough bruh

Ok here we go, thanks for reading! I hope u enjoy it

Princes and Pedestals

Chapter 7 – Chill

Previous

Next

Damian rolled the ring between his fingers as the morning light filtered through his windows. She’d put the choice in his hands, it was a kind thing to do, smart too. It made sense, if this role was as important as she made it sound it needed someone who could commit to it.

The miraculous was the kind of black that seemed to stretch on forever. It had a bright green paw print on it. He hadn’t put it on yet but from what he could gather it’s kwami would appear as soon as he put it on.

He'd be one of the leaders of an entire Order. He had no idea how big it was. His mother had raised him to lead but that was an entirely different organization. How would Marinette react to that? Could he handle the responsibility?

These thoughts had been plaguing him from the moment he picked up the ring.

But that wasn’t what got to him the most. She was just so… good. She had even agreed to move her entire court to Gotham for his sake. To uproot her entire life and move everyone involved just so that he could stay with his family.

There had to be a catch.

There always is.

He sighed, overthinking everything wasn’t going to help him make this decision.

There was only one thing he could do.

He put on the ring and a bright light caught him off guard. A small floating cat like being appeared in front of him.

“Kid?” he kept his eyes closed as though he didn’t want to see who was in front of him, his voice breaking slightly.

Slowly, the kwami – Plagg if he remembered correctly - opened his eyes. Damian stared at him as disappointment flitted across the creature’s face.

He lifted his brow and asked, “Hope to see someone else, Plagg?”

He chuckled slightly, sadness lacing the sound, “My previous holder, thought maybe I'd get the chance to say goodbye this time,”

Damian frowned, “What do you mean?”

Plagg frowned, “You don’t know about my previous holder? Who gave you my miraculous?”

“Marinette did,” he said, simply, “She actually just gave me the chance to consider the offer of the position, I have the rest of the day to get to know you and make my decision,”

Plagg seemed to consider what he said, he then sat down on the bed in front of Damian. He explained the basics of the miraculous to him, the phrases he needed to use as well as what those phrases would do. The things he’d need as well as what behaviors he might pick up.

“Purring?” Damian said in a disbelieving voice, “You’re telling me I might start purring in my civilian form?”

Plagg cackled, “Yeah, don’t worry it’s not that bad,”

“Tt, what exactly is the purpose of it? In fact what exactly is my purpose? It seems like she has the leadership thing under control,”

Plagg seemed to sober up at the question, he flew up right in front of Damian’s face and looked him in the eyes, “Her job is to lead and look after her court,” his look sharpened and he narrowed his eyes, “Your job is to look after her, your job is to protect her, your job is to see her. Your purpose is to make hers as easy as possible. Don’t get me wrong, you’ll have other official responsibilities and you will rule alongside her, but your real job? Your purpose? You have to help her remember that she’s only human and that that’s okay,”

Damian stared at Plagg, the kwami stared back. It couldn’t be that simple, could it? There had to be something. Some kind of catch.

Before he could grill the kwami, Dick burst into his room.

Damian could see his brother’s clear panic and immediately stood. Dick’s eyes found his, “She’s gone,”

Damian felt himself spiral, memories flew through his mind. All the times he or any of his siblings had been taken. Cass didn’t speak for a month after the last incident. Jason’s “secret" panic attacks had increased tremendously. Tim stayed up for nights on end, only sleeping when he passed out. Damian sparred for hours and hours, hating the feeling of being useless. 

His father and Dick weren’t in Gotham at the time and Selina was helping Harley with one of her ‘projects’.

When they got Steph back after a week, she was so shook up that she kept waking up screaming from nightmares for months.

They all blamed themselves.

“Her kwami showed us a letter she left but someone could’ve faked it to buy time, they’re searching the village,” Jason said, coming into his room, holding a piece of parchment.

Damian barely registered the way Plagg seemed to study his reactions. They needed to find her, it was already afternoon, who knows how far gone she could be?

They spent hours scouring the castle. Before he knew it the moon was rising and they were all gathered in the living room, going over possibilities.

“I’m going to go get Alfred and Bruce, this has been going on long enough, it’s time to call in back up. It’s already passed nightfall and she’s not back yet,” Dick walked out of the room, barely two seconds passed before he shouted something to them, “Guys I found her!”

They were out quicker than a lightning bolt. He ignored his siblings as they all flocked around her. He took her in.

She was wearing a cloak, which Jason quickly took and gave to a passing maid. She wore one of her black dresses. Her hair was in a braid.

But the cloak was dirty, the dress had tears and the braid was messy.

But it was her eyes that got him. The blue irises looked like someone had taken every drop of sadness in the world and left it in them. They were red rimmed and puffy and there were black bags under them.

She’d been crying and she hadn’t slept. It didn’t take a genius to figure it out.

Somewhere along the line, they moved back into the living room. Cass was sitting next to Marinette on the couch and the others were arguing.

Damian couldn’t take his eyes off of her. She was here. She was safe. She wasn’t taken.

Cass tapped his arm, he turned to look at her and she started signing. (a/n ok yeah I know that sign language might not have existed but do I really care?)

Get her out of here, she’s tired, Cass signed.

Damian nodded and after asking her permission and scolding his siblings, he escorted her to her room.

Plagg whispered something to her that he couldn’t hear. 

Then she apologized for scaring him and he explained his thought process. She explained that he would’ve been able to know via their miraculous whether she was in trouble or not. He made a mental note to ask Plagg more about that.

When they got to her room he opened her door. She was about to go in but he grabbed her hand, stopping her. She looked at him expectantly. He searched her gaze, he had so much he wanted to ask her, why she’d been crying was at the top of that list.

But she looked so tired, and Damian just couldn’t get himself to form the words. Instead he bid her goodnight and went back to the living room where his siblings were waiting.

All eyes turned to him when he entered. He didn’t know what to say. Instead of thinking his words through he blurted out the first thing he thought.

“She didn’t flinch when our eyes met,” he said. They all stared at him for a few seconds. Usually they would’ve laughed at his bluntness, Damian is certain, but there was something about the haunted look on her face that sapped all humor out of the situation.

Jason was crouched in front of the fire. Stephanie sat on one of the chairs while Dick leaned against its armrest. Damian was next to Cassandra on the couch and the five of them sat in silence.

Millions of questions danced through the air, the answers all just out of reach.

Little did they know that they weren’t the only ones with questions.

Outside, three pairs of eyes were watching the oblivious siblings closely.

Damian felt a chill go down his spine and turned towards the window. He walked over and stared out into the forest, he didn’t see anyone but the uneasy feeling wouldn’t leave him.

He closed the curtains.

The smallest of the three chuckled slightly, “She got herself a paranoid one, huh?”

“We need to head back,” the only guy out of the three said to the others.

They nodded and followed him deeper into the forest.

Day 7: Chill

day 7 oop... im not too motivated so it’s really short thanks mama @boldlyanxious for the idea

Daminette December: Master List

The Master: Master List

---------------------------

Marinette and Damian probably should have thought through pulling pranks on Damian’s siblings, espicaily Jason. He had just woken up from a long night.

They had been running from a pissed Jason. When they were faced with the decision, be cornered by Jason or climb out the window. Marinette looked at Damian and opened the window. Damian climbs up on the balcony above the window. When he’s able to stand he helps Marinette get up.

Jason sticks out his head, just to get snow dropped on his head.

“I think you need to chill out,” Marinette says, pulling Damian into the house. They then look themselves in his room. They did not want to deal with Jason. They decided to take a nap and let Jason chill out before they would go out there again.

Damianette December Day 7- Chill

This is one of those days where I take the prompt very liberally. Also, this is another one of those days were I just don’t have any inspiration of ideas of what to do, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ @daminette-december2019-2020

They couldn’t have picked a better day to visit the zoo. The sky was clear except for a few stray clouds, the temperature was pleasantly brisk, enough for a light jacket but nothing more. And most importantly, the Paris Zoological Park was holding a special event in honor of the miraculouses, exhibits set up to explore the Chinese zodiac plus the seven special miraculouses that are not part of the zodiac. 

When Alya had told them of the event, the whole Batfamily, including Marinette, planned a trip. Well… it was mostly Dick and Marinette who had planned it all, though no one complained about this trip, which was a miracle all things considered.

So, when everyone quickly split up and went their separate ways, it wasn’t a surprise, nor did Dick get upset that they wouldn’t be having a proper ‘family outing’, he was just happy that they all managed to make it to the zoo together.

Stephanie dragged Tim along to go look at sloths, she didn’t have any special interest in the event the zoo was hosting. Jason wandered off, he threw some comment about looking at the Komodo dragons that were standing in for the Chinese zodiac of the dragon. Tactfully, Dick and Barbara had left Damian and Marinette alone and went to see the foxes.

Left alone, the atmosphere became awkward between the two. It wasn’t like they hadn’t been on dates before, except, they really hadn’t. Even though they had been going out for a while, most of their time spent together was either because of their superhero work or at school. Whenever they had spent time together outside of those times, it was usually at the bakery or Wayne Manor when they were in Gotham.

Neither was interested in frequently being put in the public eye, so spending the day at the zoo together, it was basically their first date, and neither knew how to act.

“Um… what would like to see Damian?” it seemed like the first thing that should be established, a destination. She didn’t have any specific preference so, if Damian wanted to go somewhere it seemed like that would be their first stop.

“Anywhere would be fine, we can go where ever you like first,” he responded. Which meant know Marinette had to decide on where to go. They could go visit the Komodo dragons first, since dragons were his Chinese zodiac and it might be interesting to see what the zoo had set up but, she knew Jason would be there at the moment and it would probably irritate Damian to run into him. “How about we look at the snakes first and then make our way to the Komodo dragon enclosure next?” They should be able to avoid running into Jason that way. 

He readily agreed and they made their way over to the far left side of the zoo. As they continued forward, it became more crowded and without hesitation, Marinette grabbed ahold of Damian’s and so they would be less likely to get separated. Unlike most manga’s would suggest, it wasn’t a heart-pounding scene, it was natural, and neither really noticed anything different when it happened.

When they finally made it to their destination, they saw cobras, kingsnakes, and even an eastern hognose snake, which one of the zookeepers let slither on her shoulders for a bit. After they read the sign set up that explained the year of the snake, they finally made their way to the Komodo dragons.

It was fairly close by but, if the area around the snakes had been crowded then this area was like those overstuffed metro trains in Japan, where people had to be shoved into the cars. So, it was only unavoidable that she was eventually pushed into him by accident.

He managed to catch her easily, having great reflexes. “Sorry, there’s just so many people here that it’s difficult to move.” Marinette looked up when she was done apologizing only to realize how close Damian was, which was the exact moment he realized how close she was.

Their faces were only a few centimeters away, and while it was a bit awkward both of them became super aware of how close they were to kissing. At that moment, time seemed to stop for them, they stared at each other far longer than necessary.

Damian moved a bit closer, Marinette followed suit, and they almost kissed before a bucket of shaved ice was dumped onto Damian.

Jason stood next to them holding an empty cup, smirking at the two of them as he brought them back to the real world, the crowd still moving around them. “Before the two of you set your faces on fire, you might want to chill out for a bit.”

Damian once again forgot where they were and lunged at Jason, starting a fight with him but, at least Jason had enough common sense of the situation to just block all f Damian’s throws and to not actually retaliate,

This exact situation was what Marinette hoped to avoid, she shook her head in exasperation as the two continued their ‘fight’.

Ethel’s Christmas Calendar (that is hopefully going to last until the 31st of December)

So! I’m not joining Daminette December this year (I might have sort of fallen out of the ship at some point, still obviously respect all the people who do like it, and I’m just as much a Maribat fan still!) but I am writing Constagami/DamiGami December with @pl-panda. He wants to counter my angst with DamiGami fluff so let’s see what’s going to happen.

...Yes, I have actual fluff coming up too. I promise. I’m not a complete monster.

Anyhow! Here I will keep updating the prompts filled every day, so look forward to them! You can always open stories only up to that day, but no worries, they’ll all end up here. You can also find them in my Ao3, so that’s another place to look!

4. Choice

5. Breaking Point

6. “I always win.”

7. Make You Cry

8. “Do you ever get tired of being the voice of reason around here?”

14. Long Time No See

23. Time Travel

24. Golden Lies with Silver Lining

25. “I liked it better when you didn’t know how to be sarcastic with me.”

26. “Stop spreading chaos, I can’t keep up with it anymore.”

27. “I don’t do things half-way.”

28. Dating My Mortal Enemy

29. Chloé the Shipper

30. “If you don’t get him, I will.”

31. “Get a room! You’re ruining my sunlight!”

Daminette December - Day 9 : Soulmate AU

@daminette-december2019

Enjoy!!

~~

There is a bond that exists between all living beings. May it be between human and human or human and animal. May it be platonic, romantic or familial. However, not all beings have these said bonds, much less two or more.

At least, that's what Marinette thought before she found out she had a lot.

There was the platonic bonds between her and Luka, and Adrien, and Kagami.

There was the bonds between her and her parents, and don't forget Jagged Stone and Penny.

And there was also her bond with Tikki. A special bond only miraculous holders will ever experience and know of.

But there was also her romantic soulmate bond. Which she hasn't met yet, much to her sadness. She wanted to spend all the time she could with all her soulmates.

Platonic and Familial bonds are built with trust and time. That's what makes it rather easier to have. Once you trust that certain person with your life, the bond will form with a burst of light surrounding you and said person.

However, what makes romantic bonds extremely rare and special is the fact that, they were chosen for you by the fates themselves. You had to be really really special to have this kind of bond.

And because Marinette had one, all around her, people envied her, made enemies of her.

At one point of her life, someone had even manipulated her classmates into thinking she was faking the fact of having a soulmate, faking it for attention.

That was not the best moment of her life to say the least.

So when she had a chance to study abroad in America , with a full scholarship, she took it. If only to escape the people that knew of her bonds.

~

Damian was not someone to mess with. Especially on this very day. The day he died. The day he lost the one thing he treasured most. The day he had lost his soulmate bond. Well, at least that's what he assumed.

See, when a person dies, their soulmate bond dies with them. For, what good was there to have a soul mate bond if one or the other had passed?

How cruel, the fates were.

Up till this day, he hadn't found out who his soulmate was. If they were still alive. If they had moved on.

So as he was on his way to class, he hasn't expected this to happen.

~

Okay, so to be fair it wasn't her fault. She wasn't running late exactly. For she had already arrived at school.

It's just, while she headed to her first class, her phone had chimed.

Kwamii's forbid! She cursed through the link. Why now, of all the times...

Don't worry Marinette, Tikki had replied back, I'm sure it won't take long!

And long it had taken.

Approximately thirty minutes. Not the longest of times she had taken to defeat an akuma, but it was up there.

And she was ten minutes late to her first class. Great.

She was sprinting down the hall, about to turn a corner, when she literally crashed into a wall of muscle. Ouchh.

Before she could say anything, her mind scape erupted with emotions.

No way. It... It can't be. I thought they were dead.

The expression on the young man's face she saw when she looked up, was mirroring hers. Shocked. Disbelief. Bewilderment. Wonder.

And not just that, she could feel, no hear, his emotions in her mind.

As if they were both snapped out of a trance, they said at the same time,

"Marinette."

"Damian."
