#Steph is definitely a Swiftie

[arrowmaker15]

(Tim rounding the corner into Steph's room)

Tim: What are you listening to?

Steph, out of breath: I'm listening to music and dancing.

Tim: Why?

Steph: Well, I'll be 22 next week.

Tim: And?

Steph: I'm a Swiftie, Tim. Guess what that means.

Tim: What-

Tim:

Tim: No... Please not Taylor Swift for another-

Steph: Swiftie birthday week!

Jason, from another room: FUCK!

[dickseldestdaughtersyndrome]

What do we think is the batfamily’s reaction to vigilante shit?

[fuckkwithtwoks]

A few more things that are canon cause I say so:

Acrobatics teacher Dick

Mother hen Bruce

Non-verbal/more comfy with visual forms of communication Cass

Alt/skater Tim Drake (I know it's technically canon but I want him to dress like it too)

Swiftie Dick Grayson

Any super + any bat = -2 braincells

Got the hereditary adoption gene Jason

I just think he should look up one day with his several feral orphans and realize he's his dad

While we're at it: Loved and Supported Jason

Greek Mythology Nerd Tim (I just think he'd have excellent takes, especially about Achilles and Patroclus also baby bi Tim and his Percy Jackson phase)

Norse and Celtic Mythology Nerd Jason (he knows a lot of others but these were his faves)

Egyptian Mythology Nerd Steph (she had the shiny book)

Damian gets clingy when he's sick

Damian is still definitely a baby child he just can also kill you

The "A Good Soldier" plaque actually said "A Hero"

Bruce also considered something like "gone too soon" or "Always missed" but is too emotionally constipated for that

Pta mom Brucie

Ace is a trained psychiatric service dog

Dick is the kind of sibling that bursts into your room and demands you go to McDonald's or something with him

No he doesn't care that you're doing something

Jason is the kind of sibling who opens the door stands there for a few seconds and then leaves

Harley's favorite Robin was Jason (he was the perfect combination of caring and tough, he'd help anyone he could with a smile but he also swore until B gave up telling him to stop)

Mitski Stan Tim

I'm going to cap this here because I could go on for a long time.

Also it kills me a little bit to have to not elaborate

Thoughts on the Batfam’s Favorite Taylor Swift Albums

Feel free to contribute your own thoughts :)

Jason (who sparked this train of thought) - I feel like Jason’s favorite is either Folklore or Speak Now. I think he would appreciate the storytelling in Folklore but god does he scream Speak Now revenge era

Dick - Dick gives Fearless energy but I could also see him really enjoying Lover (Afterglow THE ARCHER?!!). He’s been through enough and he deserves to be happy

Tim - Tim, god bless him, would have Evermore and Midnights on repeat. Someone help him please

Damian - let’s be honest he would never admit it but he’s definitely a Reputation girlie. like he presents this hard persona but deep down the boy just needs to be loved. I also see him enjoying Folklore

Bruce - I support Bruce Wayne being a swiftie and his favorite album is probably Red or Evermore

Steph - all I can picture is Steph blasting 1989 and Midnights in her van through the streets of Gotham

Cass - honestly feel like cass would really enjoy Speak Now and Midnights (her and Steph just vibing to Karma) . I feel like she’d really like innocent

Duke - I have no explanation for this bet Debut. he’d vibe to a place in this world. He would also be a reputation girlie

It was a not-so-quiet Saturday morning

Part One - It was a quiet Saturday morning

Part two - A conversation on a Saturday morning

Unknowing of the chaos going on with the bats and birds, Marinette calmed herself down by talking aimlessly with Alfred. Their Quiche had been placed in the oven with more cheese than Alfred had anticipated (no wonder his tasted different!) and the two had almost finished cleaning the minimal mess they had made.

While cooking, the pair had been talking about everything and nothing, creating a tranquil atmosphere in the Wayne kitchen.

This was exactly what Mari needed. Alfred had always been a calming force which steered her in the right direction. While she could always go to Damian when she felt lonely, she knew her boyfriend never had the conventional upbringing. The combination of a strict mother and lack of social interaction had a large impact on him and while she never found out the severity of his lonesome childhood, she could only assume it was a large reason why he was never able to be fully open with her.

Was it irresponsible of her to stroll out of a portal in front of his entire family? Probably but it had been a long week and she had always been one for just a little bit of chaos. Through Damian’s minimal descriptions of the Wayne family she could gather that they would remain cautious and sceptical of her until they got a confident understanding of who she is, and honestly that was fair. If being Ladybug had taught her anything she should know that it takes a long time for people to build trust. If sitting through countless hours of questions and dubious looks could grant her the trust of Damian’s family it was definitely worth it. Just having Alfred trust her completely had taken a long time (and a lot of macaroons) so Marinette knew she had the patience.

She also knew that even after meeting his family she wouldn’t be able to spend as much time with Damian as she would want. The time differences were an easy obstacle to conquer with Marinette having access to teleportation and technology being available for spoken communication. Damian had found out her identity when they had met and while it had stressed 15 year old her into an oblivion, it had ended up alright.

The only real hindrance they faced was their equally busy schedules. Damian was sitting multiple AP exams in his junior year, writing his SAT and still had to focus on being a vigilant. While Marinette had no such large exams, the baccalauréat was only next year and le Ministère de l'Éducation nationale had installed coursework that she would have to complete along with the series of examinations. Both teenagers had a lot on their plate and while Damian can destress in training, Marinette’s only outlet was fashion design which was becoming a part time job.

She. Needed. A. Break. And honestly she’d been curious about what Damian’s family would be like.

Interrupting her train of thought, she spotted the Wayne’s walking into the kitchen through her peripheral vision and immediately knew she was about to be grilled. She could try to escape but at this point the motion was useless. They would not only be able to watch her leave but the at would only make them trust her less. She sighed deeply and she placed the last bowl on the drying rack and turned around ready. She is strong! She is confident! She is....

...They completely bamboozled her. Marinette, although stubborn, never stood a chance. Who knew that walking out of a portal and attacking asking for a hug from her boyfriend wouldn’t be presumed as normal by his family (Tikki knew. Tikki definitely knew).

“...and I kinda just felt lonely at home so I came here.” Marinette finished, looking around hesitantly at the other people in the room who all stared at her in silence. It was easy to say that they were all quite stunned that 17 year old, temperamental and despondent Damian Wayne had somehow managed to score a seemingly innocent and jovial Eurasian girl. While there was no evidence of what she was saying to be true, the testing looks Alfred had sent them had warded of any insulting suspicions they could have about Marinette as a person.

After a very tense moment of silence, Jason had come to the rescue.

“...Yeah she’s way too pure. Steph you owe me 50 bucks.”

“JASON!”

“IT’S TRUE!”

And that’s how Marinette introduced to the absurdity of the Wayne family. It took around a month for them to fully trust her (the manor should really have signs! The batcave was basically in plain sight!) but it was nice to finally meet the inhabitants of “the madhouse” as Damian had described.

While there were trials,

“Pixie have you seen my guns?”

“Yep! I confiscated them.”

“You WHAT????!!!”

And a couple tribulations,

“GRAYSON! RELINQUISH THOSE PHOTOGRAPHS AT ONCE!”

“Don’t worry! I’m saving them for the wedding!”

“GRAYSON!”

the Parisian super heroine fitted in like an amicable yet sleep deprived puzzle piece. While the Waynes could survive without another traumatised teenager in the family, that doesn’t mean they would want to now.

“... and this is my daughter Mar’i”

“Hi! It’s nice to-“

“Are you a fairy?”

“Huh?”

Thank Kwami for that not-so-quiet Saturday morning.

Hiya! Thank you so much for all of the support people have given me on the last two parts of this fic! I’ve tried to tag everyone who asked but if I ardently didn’t I am very sorry. I hope people enjoyed this update! Stay safe and (try to) stay happy!

Tim almost dropped his phone in his hurry to answer. He didn't expect his phone to make a sound again until he changed the settings back but the picture of Marinette flashed on the screen with her name at the incoming call. He was feeling a bit breathless after the excitement of trying to keep hold of his phone and also because she was calling him. He tried to keep his voice even when he answered anyway.

"Hello?" He waited for a response but she didn't respond. He assumed she had to bully herself into calling a bit so he kept his voice calm so she wouldn't hang up.

"Hello… are you there?" He waited again before softly saying, "Please talk to me Marinette."

That was his first clue that something was wrong. There was no response on the line but he could hear someone talking near the phone.

"Well isn't that something, Marinette? Clearly you are hiding something if you aren't even giving out the right name."

The sudden silence signaled that the call had ended. A feeling of cold horror tightened painfully in his stomach. He suspected things were going very bad for her and that he had just managed to make them far worse.

---

Barb was surprised to see Bruce in the cave when she entered. It was just as well though. They would need everyone for this. He didn't even notice her until she spoke. He looked like he had been there quite a while based on his posture and discarded plate and mug. She felt a bit bad that he felt the need to hide in his own house. She decided to just skip right over the awkward and get straight to the mission.

"Everyone is coming now to suit up," she said. "Looks like it might be a long night. Alfred is bringing tea and coffee."

He faltered for a moment. He was surprised she was talking to him. Especially after he had spent the last few hours reading all the information Tim had compiled about Rouge Gorge aside from their interactions with her. She hadn never gotten much news coverage because her saves were rather small in comparison to the Rogues or the organized crime that the bats usually dealt with.

Tim had talked to the criminals and the victims of hundreds of crimes where the response was always that she was dedicated and focused. She was friendly, efficient and never used unnecessary force. Some of the reports went back even further than when she had caught Red Robin on the rooftop and definitely before they knew anything about the new drug. He pulled away from the computer, not quite getting the folder closed before she saw it. She raised an eyebrow at him questioningly but he pretended not to notice.

"What do we know?" he asked, avoiding the awkwardness for now.

"It appears to be a coordinated attack on the drug ring. Reports indicate even more locations are being attacked than we have information on."

She pulled up a map to display as others started arriving. Bruce stepped away to suit up. Robin was already there and Black Bat. Dick and Steph came down but she said that Hood would join them out there along with Arsenal. No one had heard from Tim since Barb had left his place.

"Who is leading the attack? Who even had that kind of resources?" Dick asked.

"It seems to be mostly coming from Falcone, probably for revenge. They are being joined by other gangs to fight for the right for territory and distribution," Barb said.

"Splitting the distribution among several gangs could limit the spread of the drug. Especially if we can interrupt the process," Steph said.

"It's too early to know for sure, but I think Penguin is using the chaos to make a move. It looks like he is banding gangs together for greater force. Whether he is doing this with Falcone or as a counter move is unknown." Barb said.

"Let's see what we can find out tonight." Batman said, moving toward the exit.

---

She was surprised to be pushed down onto a cushioned surface before the cloth was removed from her eyes. The drive had been short and silent before they moved her in. She looked around the room from the old couch she was sitting on. She wasn't surprised at all to see the drug dealer from the party in front of her. Lt. Howard Branden, if she was remembering the information from the meeting she ran from before her disappearance a few months ago.

There was no sign of the other 2 he had been working with before but the group was exactly who Batman promised to turn her over to if she didn't give him more information. She knew that Batman sometimes worked with the police and Branden was, or maybe had been, a police officer with the SWAT team. She didn’t pretend to know how any of that could work but it did seem like a possible connection.

She was surprised to see the guy she had met at the party who had tried to use her for free drugs. He looked like he was currently on drugs but was seemingly willing enough to be there that he wasn't bound in any way. The leader was already looking through her phone and she could see another trying to get into her laptop. She basically had no information on her phone. It was as low tech as she could manage to find. She could see some device attached that would probably get past her 4 digit PIN. She knew it wasn't very secure but it was a burner phone with 3 saved numbers and no names. She tended to reset it frequently.

"Work, T and A. Sounds like you know what you want out of life. But look at that history. No calls in days."

Marinette shifted herself but didn't try to talk through the gag. She just watched him and hoped she could find a way out of this as he continued.

"You friend, Dustin, here told me all he knew about you but it doesn't seem like anyone knows very much. He couldn’t even get much from his friend who works with you. Apparently no one knows much about you.”

He removed the gag. But she said nothing.

"Who are you?"

"Meg," she said, offering only information he already had.

He stepped closer.

"Why is that the only information anyone knows about you, Meg?"

"I'm a private person."

"Hmm. So who is this ex in your phone. You don’t even have a name in there. I thought he had broken up with you but based on your messages you dumped him."

She looked away rather than answering.

"He wanted you to call back. Shall we try it?"

She tried to jump up and stop him when he pushed the call button but one of the henchmen blocked her. She could hear the ringing tone and then heard Tim answer. Her mouth was covered again so she couldn't call out to him but she could hear him still trying to get a response. His third try to get her to talk he gave the only clue the man before her needed.

"Well isn't that something? He called you Marinette. Clearly you are hiding something if you aren't even giving out the right name."

He hung up the phone and set it down while watching her. The man preventing her from talking removed his hand and pushed her so she fell back onto the couch.

"What does it matter to you?" she asked.

"He is like really into you," Dustin said. "He found me after that party and asked me to help him find out more about you."

"That's it. I'm interested to know all about you. Do you ever get dressed up and go out?"

"You had men kidnap me for a date?"

Marinette was fairly certain he meant something else by his question but she was certainly not going to just follow where he wanted to lead her. Batman may have told him who she was but he had nothing if she didn't confirm it and he couldn't prove anything. Even breaking into her electronics couldn't get him that information. Without finding the magical box they would have no evidence. All her non-magical equipment burned in the fire.

She was pulled out of her thoughts by movement from the henchmen. He went up to talk to the man. They spoke in low voices for a few minutes and she had a bad feeling about whatever was being discussed. After a few minutes all the others left the room. They took her phone and laptop and one of them guided a stumbling Dustin away with them. When he caught her gaze he walked closer to her. She fought to keep her breaths even but he sat directly in front of her refusing to look away.

Hey everyone, this is us. Steph and Em. 🙂 we both have been huge huge fans of Taylor since the beginning. we aren’t new fans, but are definitely new to the tumblr/fan page world. We can’t wait to show our support & love for Tay. ♥ We hope to make lots of swiftie friends through this page. Lots of love ♥️ -Steph

[nicollekidman]

Abby, you missed the Dusty Springfield × Taylor Swift parallels breakdown! But seriously the parallels between Dusty Springfield & Taylor Swift are insane! Steph lost it after an Anon let her know about the parallels & initiated a fandom wide breakdown last night, it was wild! Dusty Springfield's 13th album "Reputation" was recorded in 1989?! I mean can you believe? Dusty was GAAAAAAAAAAAY too Abby! Seriously we all lost it last night over Dusty Springfield, we really did have a breakdown Abby!

dkfjghjfkds don’t worry i was observing every now and then!! i love when swifties collectively discover something and have a joint breakdown. i’ve known dusty was a lesbian for a while but i never made the connection with taylor.... tbh i really just think it’s further evidence of taylor being very aware of her musical idols and her lgbt history; taylor has always had a mind for love stories and fairy tales and puts herself in other people’s shoes a lot, i definitely think she feels a deep connection with other singer-songwriters who have come before her, and we’ll keep discovering parallels as we go on. taylor is part of a long line of beautifully gifted artists who loved women and whose love was an intrinsic part of their work, dusty being the lastest that we’ve discovered but not the last. steph has an attention for detail and analysis im too sleepy for but emotionally, it’s very sweet (and bittersweet) that we’re always finding these details.

Overdue for a @abigail_lauren and @taylorswift photo. (Credit to the amazing Abigail for this fun photo!) And today is the perfect day to post one. We had dress shopping today so Steph could start her journey of saying yes to her dress! I think we made some great progress, there were definitely tears involved! ❤️ #taylorswift #taylornation #swifties #itsalovestory #babyshesaidyes #yestothedress #bestiesgettingmarried #holdontothememories https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpu1GE0nvWy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dgsbdg6exzbw

Remember when 16: Spotted

Marinette had gone over the plan in her head repeatedly. She considered doing nothing but she just couldn't manage to convince herself that was the right thing. Wrappers from the heliotrope drug could frequently be seen on the ground all around where she lived and worked. She suspected that this was the case over most of Gotham. She worried that the children of Gotham would take an interest in the novel new drug.

The fire that burned up the house where she was held by the drug dealers had destroyed her cape and the radio she used to listen into their comms channel. They frequently changed the channel they used but she and Tikki had always managed to find it easily.

She knew her best bet was to use Trixx to transform but she needed to do so without being seen. She chose to do the illusion on the rooftop where she had first captured Red Robin. That with a note should give them the information they need and hopefully let them know the information is legitimate.

---

Batman and Batgirl were the first to arrive at the site of the fake bat signal. As soon as they approached it to find out what was happening the light faded away as the magic dropped. Left was only a mug with the bat symbol. Inside was a wrapper from the heliotrope drug and a card with an address written on it.

They started a discussion about what it could mean on the comms. The general consensus was that it was left by Rouge Gorge even though they had believed she had left town. As for the address they couldn't be sure. Oracle told them it was a house. They thought that didn't seem like a meeting place that the hiding hero would choose but also it seemed like an unlikely residence for her.

Red Robin and Hood were nearest the address so they landed on buildings nearby to scope it out. Not much could be seen. The lights were on inside but the windows were carefully covered so not even shadows could be seen. Hood was moving closer so he could plant a listening device but before he made it to the roof Red Robin called him back. The person who had been walking nearby had turned back to the house and went around back. From his vantage point Red Robin could see the gun hidden in his very civilian looking clothes. He was a sentry.

Based on the new intel and the placement of the packaging for the drug, they assumed those inside were affiliated with the drug dealers. They tried to get Rouge Gorge to respond on the comms but she never did. They did wonder why she left a note instead of getting on their channel as she had in the past. They also wondered about the new magic they had seen tonight. The illusion wasn't something they had seen before from her.

---

Marinette was getting cold on the rooftop. She had created the illusion and let her transformation drop not long before it timed out. They had barely gotten there in the 5 minutes. Then after they hung around discussing what to do. Black Bat even landed on the rooftop where she was hiding. She thought she might have heard her but Nightwing landed right after so the sound was obscured.

They were talking about her. They didn't know what to make of the information. She didn't want to put too much about what the information was or how it was obtained to maintain her own cover. She remained silent while listening to their discussion. Their top 2 theories about it were that it was related to the drug ring or that she was wanting to meet with them. Apparently there was a brief suggestion that she was involved with them but from what she could hear Black Bat and Nightwing were not the only ones to deny the possibility that she was involved.

---

Jason was tired and just wanted to go to bed after spending the night staking out what they suspected was a depot for the drug ring. It has been 3 weeks and many long nights but they had connected 3 other locations for sure and had several other possibilities. Tim and Dick were enjoying this part. The hunt and the detective work. Jason thought it felt too much like doing nothing. Little clues that may or may not add up to something rather than punching someone until they had answers.

He joined Roy at a table that thankfully already had a coffee waiting for him. He would need it to get through the day. He had to meet with some contacts in a few hours and he expected he would not wake for it if he tried to sleep now. Roy laughed at him as he drained the hot black coffee before he even sat down.

"One of those days?" the waitress asked with the hint of laugh in her voice.

He looked up at her to respond and froze. She either didn't notice his gaze or was accustomed to being watched. She filled his coffee back up as his brain filled in the blanks to place her and her slight accent and he made a call to help confirm what he was seeing. He responded while waiting for the phone to be picked up on the other end.

"Didn't sleep much and I have a long day ahead. I might need a bigger mug," he responded with a smile.

Roy looked at him questioningly when he heard what Jason said on the call.

"You awake?... Good. I'm sending you an address… No, now. I'm buying you waffles… Just get here. There will be coffee and as many waffles as you can eat… Yes. Whatever toppings you want."

"You can't just have breakfast with me?" Roy asked in mock offense.

"I need to confirm something with Steph."

"You aren't just trying to get her to wingman you with the cute waitress?"

"I'm pretty sure that is Tim's girl. I just need to confirm."

"I did not know Tim had a girl."

"Well, he doesn't really. It's complicated. I'll fill you in later."

Even though she was clearly very busy, 'Meg' seemed to have the ability to always be right where she was needed. She always showed up right when plates were ready to be delivered to her tables. Every time Jason emptied his coffee mug she was right there filling it as soon as he set it back down. She made her way around and clearly has a lot of regulars that she remembered and asked about whatever they had talked about before while still managing to get food to the tables. He determined she had been working her for awhile.

Steph walked in as their food was being delivered. The waitress popped back over to grab the waffle that was just coming out covered with fruit and whipped cream. She returned with the plate and set it in front of Steph as she filled the mug with coffee. Steph looked up to say thank you as Marinette looked back at them. Both ladies froze for a moment as they placed the other face. Marinette's eyes went wide as she realized who she was.

She looked back at each man for a moment to see if she missed something. She hadn't. She was pretty sure they weren't any of the masked vigilantes but Hood would definitely not be recognizable without his helmet. She told them to enjoy their food before rushing away, wishing for escape.

"I'm calling Tim," Steph said.

"Is that the best idea?" Jason asked.

"Do you want to be the one to tell him we found her but then she disappeared again?"
