Speed dating [AdrienxDamian]

Adrien Agreste was tired of the same old dating scene in Paris. He wanted to try something new, something that might actually help him find someone special. So, he decided to attend a speed dating event at a local café.

Adrien arrived at the event and saw that there were several tables set up. He took a deep breath and sat down at the first table.

Damian arrived a few minutes later and sat across from Adrien. He didn't say anything, just nodded in greeting.

Adrien smiled nervously. "Hi, I'm Adrien. What's your name?"

"Damian," he replied, his voice deep and serious.

Adrien fidgeted with his hands. "So, have you done this before?"

"No," Damian answered curtly.

Adrien's heart sank. "Oh, well, me neither. This is my first time trying something like this."

Damian raised an eyebrow. "Why are you here?"

Adrien hesitated before answering. "I just got out of a relationship and I thought this might be a good way to meet new people. What about you?"

Damian shrugged. "I'm here because my father suggested I try it."

Adrien chuckled. "I guess we're both here for the same reason, then."

They chatted for a few more minutes before the bell rang, signaling the end of their time together. Adrien felt a pang of disappointment that their conversation had to end so soon.

As Damian got up to move to the next table, he turned to Adrien. "Perhaps we will see each other again," he said, before walking away.

Adrien felt a warmth spread through his chest at the thought of seeing Damian again. Maybe this speed dating thing wasn't so bad after all.

********************************

Damian sat nervously at his table, wondering why he had agreed to participate in this speed dating event. He had always thought that finding a romantic partner was a task that required patience and time, not the pressure of a timed conversation. But with the constant prodding from his brothers and his father, he had given in and decided to give it a try.

As he sat there, he couldn't help but notice the man who had just sat down across from him. He was handsome, with blond hair and striking green eyes, and Damian felt his heart skip a beat. He quickly composed himself and tried to focus on the task at hand.

"Hi, I'm Adrien,What's your name?" the man said with a smile, holding out his hand.

Damian shook it and replied, "Damian."

"So, have you done this before?" Adrien asked.

To be honest, Damian didn't really know what to say. He decided that a clear and concise answer was the best option.

"No," Damian answered curtly.

Adrien's heart sank. "Oh, well, me neither. This is my first time trying something like this."

Damian raised an eyebrow. He had to admit that he was surprised to see someone with Adrien's look at this kind of event.

"Why are you here?"

"I just got out of a relationship and I thought this might be a good way to meet new people. What about you?"

This seemed to be a plausible explanation. Someone so...charming...must have been in a relationship. He had no idea who this blonde's former partner was, but they had let a gem go.

"I'm here because my father suggested I try it."

Adrien chuckled. Damian decided he liked the sound.

"I guess we're both here for the same reason, then."

As the two continued to talk, Damian found himself becoming more and more drawn to Adrien. He was witty, intelligent, and had a kind heart. Damian couldn't believe how easy it was to talk to him, and before he knew it, their time was up.

Damian felt a pang of disappointment. He had enjoyed their conversation and wanted to get to know him better. He quickly made a decision and called out to Adrien.

"Perhaps we will see each other again," Damian said.

"Can I get your number? I would like to continue our conversation."

Adrien smiled and handed him a slip of paper with his number on it. "I would like that," he said. "I'll be waiting for your call."

As Damian walk away, he couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement. He had never felt this way before, and he knew that he wanted to explore these feelings further. He couldn't wait to see where this new connection would take him.

[askastillyquestion]

Does anyone else think that as the crossover fandom of DC x Miraculous (MLB) has expanded the name of the fandom should actually be Mirabat?

I understand that the fandom started as a Marinette ship (Daminette) and then expanded to other Marinette ships, however, as the fandom stands now, more characters are getting a focus in the crossover universe instead of Marinette.

Dedication to Adrien focused fics in DC x MLB has adopted the name Adribat and honestly has a different tone than Maribat tends to have.

Would it be weird to call the collective fandom Mirabat and allow there to be the subsections of Maribat and Adribat in it, seeing as Adribat feels as though it is going to pick up momentum?

I'd love to hear thoughts that those in the Maribat and Adribat spheres have on this. (P.S. I'm not saying rename the fandom cause it's been established for so long. Just curious of the what-if)

A New Wave of Maribat

So, there has been talk for some time about how Maribat as a fandom is dying, or at least, people within the fandom can feel that it is not as lively as it could be.

Pondering the question, what if, a rather peculiar idea arrived. There are plenty of places on Tumblr with blogs dedicated to Maribat. Ao3 is a rather popular for content as well. However, is there not another place that people frequent quite often that could give the fandom new attention?

The answer is simple. Instagram

Now, you might be saying, "seriously? Instagram? No one goes on Instagram for Maribat."

That is exactly the point. Tumblr takeovers can be effective and gain attention, that's for sure, but why not try a different route? Instagram is a place where people share irl things yet within it is an incredible world of artists and storytellers.

Instagram could provide what the Maribat needs. A new light. People could discover this fandom for the first time in a place no one would expect.

Below is going to be information about this page for those that are intrigued by this idea, it will also allow those who do not wish to hear more the ability to continue on their scrolling.

There are a couple ways to bring Maribat to Instagram and Maribat Media is here to help with it.

Creators can either make their own Instagrams or use their existing ones to post content. Any sort of Maribat content is amazing. Get it out there for the world to see.

Understandably, not everyone is going to want to make an account or post on Instagram. Why go through the effort if you don't use the platform. Valid.

Maribat Media is here to help. We encourage people to help promote others' works across platform to get them the attention they deserve. Any piece of artwork, writing or art form, takes a lot of time and energy. @ this account in the replies of a piece shared here on tumblr and we will get in shared, only under the following conditions.

This needs to be made absurdly clear. Maribat Media will not cross post a piece of content solely by being tagged. When tagged, the creator of the post will be reached out to see if they would like their piece to be shown off on the Instagram. No means no and the creator will not be pressured to allow their piece to be published. That is rude and the exact opposite of what the admin hope to accomplish.

The best thing to do if you want a post to be placed on the Instagram is ask the creator themselves within a reply to their piece about if Maribat Media can post it. It saves all parties time, and you can easily @ this account when the creator's written permission is present.

That also goes for creators themselves! If you have a post you want to have put on Instagram but do not have an account yourself, @ Maribat Media with a request to and the admin will gladly see to it!

Events can also be requested for sharing! It is highly encouraged to have event runners who want their events to be seen to either @ or leave a request. Events are an amazing way to gain traction.

Any and All sorts of content that have been given permission to post with have proper crediting. Within the top of the description and in an extra slide of the post (unless there is not a slide available).

Ask Me Anything is always open for any questions surrounding this whole Instagram thing as well the comments to this very post. You can leave requests for content sharing in the AMA (the process will be the same as if @'d in a reply).

Finally, this is all one big attempt at trying something new. There is no knowing if this will work at all. However, there is no harm in trying. Perhaps we can give this fandom new light together.

Sincerely, Maribat Media Admin

Ship(s): John Constantine/Jagged Stone

Rating: Teen Warning: None Category: M/M Media Type: Fic Word Count: 2220 Additional Tags: Parent John Constantine, Adrien Constantine, Guardian & Butterfly Constantine, Peacock Raven, Ladybug Garth, Black Cat Koriand'r, Fox Adrien, Mouse Marinette, Luka as Viperion, Juleka as Purple Tigress, Minor Marave, Minor Character Death at the end, Mystery Ending

Summary: John is visted by Raven and a couple of her Titan friends. It turns out there is a problem dealing with Klarion. A problem that can only be solved by dusting off the miraculous from retirement. What the problem is... that is something they are only bound to get more questions than answers from solving. (And the Riddler is nowhere to be seen in the fic to be blamed this time)

Or

The author screws up two tumblr ideas, squishes them together, throws in some of their favorite rare pairs, hints at potential other pairings, and pulls a plot twist that leaves it open for sequel potential.

Note: Yeah... I screwed up the original ideas so @psychokatrixxxy there will be a Jasonette w/ John apprentice Mari for you and @kermdoeswriting & @everything163 there will be a fic in coming of true Marave with John getting stuck with all the kids. This fic is a weird mashup of both ideas unintentionally....

Ao3 Link: Questions Left Unanswered

Ping Requested: @anjuschiffer

Chapter 1/2:

John was never ready to be a parent. It really was his fault for not only dating a man with twins but having a biological son from a past lover. That makes you have to be ready to be a parent.

He would never trade it for the world. Before the twins or coming back into his son’s life, he had two other kids that he would never admit to as being his own but he sure as hell would curse you if anything happened to them.

The daughter of the Demon Lord Trigon and the kid gifted the powers of the wizard Shazam. It was a recipe for disaster. It was also amazing to see how much chaos they would get into.

He really missed the days when both of them would visit the House of Mystery. Now, it was occupied by his kids. A new sense of energy hit the walls of the place.

“Hey Dad, were you expecting someone?”

Adrien’s voice gets John out of his reminiscing. As far as he could recall, they were not supposed to have visitors today. Unless his husband had invited someone.

John joins his son at the door. It opens for the visitors to show that it was none other than Raven with a couple of her teammates from the Titans.

“Oh, what a surprise. Come in.” 

John takes his time to look over the crew. Raven, Starfire, and Garth. What an interesting group. He had heard her talk multiple times about a Starfire, and Tempest came up as a mention of all the members.

John’s quick glance over the group failed to notice another girl. One that Adrien caught instead. He extended a hand of friendship before helping her in, shutting the door behind her.

“I hope it is alright that I brought two additional friends along for an impromptu visit.”

“It is always alright to bring your friends along, dear. Though, two additional? Where is the other?”

Adrien’s laughter as he catches up to his father signals him to the other. A blue-eyed, black-haired girl. There was a certain quota she was filling that John could not place his mind on.

Raven bringing multiple magic related friends along with her raised a suspicion in John’s mind. There was something that she needed help with. Why come to him though if Billy is available? 

John shakes his head. Surely, he was just overthinking. Billy must have been busy in his city, or he would be around. He focuses back on the group.

“You must be a new member of the Titans. The name is John Constantine, master of the dark arts. You already met my son, Adrien. My other children are around somewhere.”

Raven sends John a confused look. His eyebrows raise as realization hits him. Raven had not talked to him since he got quietly married and Adrien’s mother passed. 

“Father, have you seen Adrien? Juleka and I wanted to-” Luka stops mid-sentence as he walks in the room to see the crowd of people. “That can wait. Why are a portion of the Titans here?”

“There is a slight problem. A chaos problem.”

John facepalms. Chaos usually meant one person. Klarion.

“Hey Jules, I’m going to need a sharp hand dealing with the cat kid!”

Luka’s sentence takes the unfamiliar girl by surprise along with everyone else in the group beside Raven. 

John smiles as Juleka comes in the room with a set of earrings, a ring, and bracelet. She gives Adrien the ring, Luka his bracelet and John gets the earrings. Juleka gladly sports her panjas bracelet.

“Tell us where Klarion is. Does he have any friends?”

John works at getting the earrings in. Raven’s eyebrow raises as a small smile climbs on her face. 

“He is on his own as far as we can tell. However, I think he has set the field to where only miraculous can get through. How you knew that already is weird.”

“Anomalies run in the multiverse genes. After as much time as I have been in the game, you get bloody good at knowing how the menaces work.”

Raven eyes the unfamiliar girl before looking back to John. He sends her a knowing look. He taps the earrings, and a little ladybug flies out.

“Hey Tikki, how has retirement been?”

“John! It has been so long my friend. Oh, you have children now. I am happy to come out to help you. Who are these other young mortals? Well half-demon, tamarian, atlantean, and kryptonian/amazon.”

John’s eyes go wide. There was no way that the big blue and Wonders had a child together. There had to have been influence from someone. 

“Woah, Atlantean? I have always wanted to visit Atlantis.” Adrien’s eyes light up as he looks at Garth.

“Well kid, make sure you go when you aren’t wearing my miraculous or Arthur will throw a fit.”

Adrien rolls his eyes at the black cat. Garth’s stare narrows. There was no way that a floating tiny cat is the same creature in the myths of the sinking of Atlantis he had heard so many times before.

John and Tikki share a similar sigh toward the duo. She takes charge of what is needed of her. She looks amongst the group before returning to John, whispering in his ear. 

The group look on as he transforms in front of their eyes. His outfit was nearly the same however his trench coat was now a nice scarlet while his button down and pants were black. The tie was exchanged for a nice crimson bowtie with a black knot. 

Adrien gives a little cheer at the transformation. He had been told stories of his dad’s time with the miraculous but had yet to see him in action.

John pulls out his yoyo. The cap flips open like a mirror. He reaches in gently, revealing a brooch and coin-pendant necklace.

John approaches Raven, offering her the two pieces. She nods softly. She knew the unspoken request by John. He continues on to Garth and Starfire.

“You both gave Tikki a bit of trouble. Ultimately, she decided to give you both the rooster and goat miraculous. The two work nicely together. Typically, she would have Garth wield hers and Koriand’r wield Plagg’s but they are already being used.”

“Well Dad, I can always switch up mine. I have experience with other miraculous. Trixx and I are quite the team.”

Before John can say anything, Adrien gives the miraculous to Plagg and he flies over to Kori. His father sighs as he gets the necklace out, handing it to him. He thinks for a moment before grabbing the locket brooch.

He calls upon Tikki to detransform. He then hands the earrings to Garth and greets the young butterfly, Nooroo.

“Oh, hello guardian. How can I help?” Nooroo nervously fidgets his arms around. 

“We have a miraculous situation to deal with. Tikki has a new holder for this occasion. I figured you may want to spread your wings.”

Nooroo’s nerves go away. He perks up. John breathes a sigh of relief. The butterfly is the newest miraculous of the bunch. It left the kwami to be quite hesitant to any sort of contact. 

The only user Nooroo had before John rescued them was the worst yet best introduction to mankind. Luckily, that user is no longer a problem. However, it has left Nooroo scarred.

John does his best to describe the situation to the kwami. They nod along as they settle into the role. It would be nice to have a positive connection. 

With Nooroo all settled in, and all of the group having met their kwami, John gets the location from Raven, and they set off to face Klarion.

Chapter 2/2:

“You have to be joking. Who gave children bloody miraculous?” John keeps himself from swearing.

Klarion was not by himself. He had an unfamiliar set of people with him. They were children by the size of them. There was a strange aura coming from them.

The children were a little too familiar once John got a better look. They had to be Robin, and Superboy. The aura did not originate from them. There had to be another source.

‘John, there is an aura coming from behind Klarion.’ Raven’s telepathy links the two.

The dark magician keeps a firm hand on his cane. He did not like the idea of children being used. Especially not the sons of two of the Trinity. 

This situation was going to be harder to approach then they initially thought. Facing children who were already a force to be reckoned with now were armed with miraculous. This had to be a hidden covert operation.

“Hey stabby, let’s dance.” Scarlet Billows waves on the young bird. 

“If you want to take the robin, I shall gladly take the bull.” Supernova pulls out her baton.

The Ladybug and Black Cat were strong fighters. Both wielders had experience as heroes. However, miraculous were a different playing field.

Robin’s speed catches Scarlet Billows off guard. He pulls out his yo-yo, which hooks onto the bird’s feet. Instead of tripping Robin, it flips the Ladybug on his head. 

Supernova, on the other hand, does relatively well matching against the super bull. It is a match of strength and power. However, the full focus on Supernova is unbroken. She cannot get an opening.

John examines the field. He does not have to utter a word before Multimouse hops in to help Supernova and Raven sends an amok to fight alongside Scarlet Billows. There was still a mystery to solve and Klarion to face.

Raven immediately joins into the fight when a sudden flash of sickening green overtakes the children. Robin now had a bigger sword and Superbull’s heat vision was chilling. They had also switched partners.

Raven was now alongside Scarlet Billows and Multimouse while Supernova was facing Robin with the senti-tiger. John was left to tackle Klarion himself. 

John summons a butterfly. The chaos of the fight was enough cover to get it through without them noticing. Or so he thought.

The butterfly makes it right to Klarion’s face before it is sliced from the sky. While it did not do what John was hoping, it did reveal a worrying scene. Klarion’s eyes were the same green color that overtook the kids. They also screamed for help.

Wait… 

That scream from the field. 

In front of John’s eyes, Raven falls to her knees. A way of her energy shoots out removing all the surrounding magic. Klarion falls to the ground and the boys shake off the aura. It shows a hidden scene that was playing out.

The mystery figure had been approaching Multimouse in the dark. They went to stab Multi and the image that played out was them being victorious. However, Raven’s cries made it fade.

There was nothing but a hardlight structure. It was an illusion of none other than Adrien. The figure was left stunned that they were played. It was the perfect opportunity for the Purple Tigress to strike. 

She slayed the figure’s ankles. It leaves the figure immobilized. Another player had entered through the hidden veil. Jagged Stone. He holds the figure’s arms behind their back so they cannot run.

Multimouse runs to Raven, throwing her in her arms. The peacock wielder’s tears start to slow. The two stay in a tight hug. John is left dumbfounded.

“What happened?” Klarion’s weak voice echoes in the rather quiet field. “Did you stop the harlot?”

Viperion helps the chaos incarnate stand. The group turns their attention to the figure tightly in the hands of Jagged. They start laughing.

“This is just the beginning. You have no idea what is coming for you. He will find you. I guarantee it.”

John has had enough of the secrets. He summons a butterfly, sends it to the figure, and it sticks. A bright orange wing mask appears on their face. It was time for him to get answers.

‘Who are you? How did you have control of Klarion and the Super sons?’ John says through the shared mindspace.

‘My name is Lila,’ the inner voice wavers, struggling to resist. ‘I had control of them through a miraculous he gave me. I cannot not answer you. What are you doing to me?’

‘I am getting answers. Who is he?’

The mindspace breaks before an answer is given. John has to blink out of it to realize what had happened. Jagged looks at Lila terrified.

The miraculous had completely surged through their body. The same bright green from before trails all the way through their veins. The miraculous itself was a ring on her ring finger. 

“That has to be purposeful. Who could have this sort of power with the miraculous, John?”

Raven had gathered her emotions enough to join the headspace. She was the only other one to hear the words of Lila. There was a force out there strong enough to affect Klarion through a miraculous.

Scarlet Billows walks over to Jagged. He reaches to the finger of the body, pulling the ring from it. It returns to its original state. 

“Constantine… I think we have a timestream problem.” Scarlet Billows shines the face of the ring toward him. 

A lightning bolt. 

“Bullocks. What did you do, Barry Allen…”

End Notes: Hmm what did you do to the timeline this time Barry? Or are they too quick to assume speedsters.

I said it earlier, but I will be making two more pieces to make up for the mistake on my end. There is another request that will be out next though of Constantine & Chloe adoptive shenanigans to look out for.

I could say this is an early Maribat Bio-Parent Month fic but nah. Shameless plug for that though! Go check that out on their blog here.

What are your opinions on a potential Edward Nygma/Adrien Agreste

I ask, because I know both characters are very dear to you and I wonder if you've ever thought about it (if you have, what are your headcanons, and if you haven't, what are your thoughts that this gives you? - Percy

Ooo great question!

Okay, so Edward and Adrien are so absolutely near and dear to my heart. Gotham’s version of the Riddler captured me. That’s the version that I write based off of whenever I write the character.

As for the two characters being shipped, I’d be willing to try writing it. It’d take a bit to wrap my brain around but I think there’s potential.

The relationship I like to do between Adrien and Edward is actually Adoptive Parent Ed. It’s my version of ���Marinette gets it in the care of Harley, Ivy and/Selina’. I feel like Edward would be so fascinated with the miraculous and would want to help Adrien out (cause Oswald would make him).

I also really like the idea of Adrien/Edward being the ultimate duo to rival Batman/Catwoman. There’s just something about it. (Perfect set up for a Cat fight)

Request: Roynette, Hurt/Comfort, Playing with Fire

WC: 0.4k

CW: A couple mildly suggestive lines

A/N: I included a couple other prompts from this E2L list: "We can’t help who we fall in love with” “I don’t care what others think. They don’t know you like I do” “You can’t keep holding my past against me". Roynette are (past) enemies to lovers to (current) enemies to lovers!

Request Masterlist | Masterlist | Ao3

Noire hissed as if she were a real cat, her dangerously sharp claws already shredding through the netting catching her. Arsenal rushed forward as she stood from the trap and pinned her to the wall with his body, her eyes glowing like a wraith promising vengeance.

“Let me go!” she growled, pushing his shoulders away till they were face to face in the dim light.

“No.”

“No?” Her voice had a teasing, incredulous quality, one that Roy was intimately aware spelled danger for whomever was on the receiving end.

“No,” he repeated stubbornly. “Why did you leave?”

Her slitted green eyes narrowed at him. “Why did you leave?” she mocked. “You can’t keep holding my past against me, Arsenal,” she spat. “‘We can’t help who we fall in love with’? Really? And then you agreed to turn me in! I thought we were past that, Roy. Was it because of Lian?”

Roy’s heart broke at hearing her sound so sad and defeated, slumping in his grasp, her previous fire gone as the hurt took over the rage.

He pulled her cautiously into a hug, hooking his chin over her shoulder. “I agreed to turn you in because I knew if I didn’t they’d take me and Lian, too, and there would be no time for us to leave. I was never actually planning to turn you in for a second, Mari; please believe me.” He pulled back to search her eyes.

“I’m sorry. I should have trusted you, i just- that call-”

“It’s okay, Mari. I don’t blame you for your response. It would be stupid to ask someone if they were planning on arresting you when they just admitted to someone that they would, without knowing you were there.”

“Love is stupid,” she murmured into his hair, tightening her arms around his waist.

“Maybe,” he agreed. “I don’t care what others think, though. They don’t know you like I do, and if they don’t trust me and my judgement, then I’m done. I called one of my old friends, and he’s on his way to pick us three up. I guess you’re ready to go?”

“I’m always ready to go when you’re around, mister,” she purred, nudging her leg between his.

“Careful, Mari, you’re playing with fire.” His grip tightened on her.

She smirked. “It reminds me of you and your hair.” With a wrench, she was out of his grip and dancing away, her sparkling eyes the only colour he saw in the dark. “We have a rendezvous to make. Allez!”

[askastillyquestion]

So you like rare pairs? What're your hot takes on Maribat Rare Pairs? - Percy

Okay, I'm not sure how hot these takes are but here are a couple.

Marinette Does Not Need to be featured in Every Rare Pair Fic

Marinette does not need to be featured in every single fic when the ship does not include her. Where there is still heavy focus on Mari (in let's say a Jaydrien fic), the Jaydrien begins to feel like a side ship despite it being the main focus.

Maribat Rare Pairs should not be discouraged or treated like they are "not rare pairs" for including a traditional 'main pairing' as the side pairing

There are so many cool ships that complement Mari ships that deserve their own full light instead of being the 'side piece' in fics. It can be really disheartening as a writer to have a fic, especially one you're proud of, dragged down because you included a 'main ship' (Daminette, Timari, Jasonette) as the side pair. Rare pairs should be celebrated when they try to show what they can be instead of shunned into the darkness.

There should be more DC characters aged down for fics

With the rare pair ship Brucinette, for example, there tends to be a lot of aging the Miraculous characters up. Why not explore the ships by aging them down? The Gotham tv show gives an idea of younger Bruce Wayne and maybe it would be cool to see younger Clark figuring out his powers and Marinette comes across him while visiting her parents' old friends Jonathan and Martha Kent.

Maribat Media Poll Sunday: #0

This is the official start of a new standard for this blog. Weekly polls!

These polls will be just about anything you can think of.

They will be centered around Maribat, if that was not already clear, but feel free to leave some polls you would like to see either in the replies, reblog, or an ask!

Note: If you leave it in an ask, please specify that it is a poll request.

Here's a 'mini' poll to start us off! (check below line)

If you have any pairing that is a rare pair, poly ship or bio parent that got you into the fandom, shoot that relationship out! Do so however you feel comfortable (in tags or reblog)

Extra Special Challenge: If you happen to remember the exact piece (fic, artwork, drabble, incorrect quote) or the author/creator of the piece, give them a shootout in a reblog of this!

Alternative to Special Challenge: If you can't remember who/what you got you into the fandom, shootout the creators or friends that have helped instead!
