#ml x batfamily

[the-glass-is-actually-full]

Marinette: You're my partner, my best friend, and the love of my life. I hope you know I would do anything for you. Absolutely anything. Damian: I want you to get a full 10 hours of sleep. Marinette, conjuring up the sweetest smile and a glare that could throw anyone six-feet under: Absolutely and positively no.

Drawings I’ve done for my newest Fanfic. Which is a Miraculous Ladybug/Danny Phantom/DC crossover. It is called Rebirth of the Waynes. I will be posting it tomorrow. The characters I have above are as follows Danny, Marinette, Adrien, Ellie (Danielle), Jordan (Dan), Jazz, and Chloe. More art to follow. The names are their new vigilante names except Danny he still goes by Phantom.

Rebirth of the Waynes coming soon…

Hello!

I don't know if it's still okay to ask for recommendations. I have recently been into daminette story (and I have been in love with this couple). Do you have good recommendations where Ladybug and Robin swap their body multiple times? I read one fanfic, where they have a similar theme, and I have been obsessed!

Thank you! With LOVE!

I'm sorry but I don't know any stories where they swap bodies. Here's a recommendation of Daminette anyways. Some of these are filled with fluff and some Lila salt so enjoy!

Daminette AO3 Fanfic Recommendations 2

Tolerance by @superpsychonutcase

Chapters: 2/2

Lila is up to her old tricks. Thankfully, Tim and the employees of Wayne Enterprises are not as dimwitted as Bustier and her class.

Warmth by FridayFirefly

Chapters: 2/2

When Damian wakes up with a stranger in his bed, he knows that there is only one possible explanation: that stranger is his Soulmate.

#SunshineOfGotham by sixtyeightdays

Chapters: 14/14

All of Gotham knows Marinette, the Sunshine who's made her way into everyone's hearts.

But so what if all of Gotham knows Marinette? Does her class know that they know Marinette?

Of course not, why would they! But, well, let's see how they find out.

A Welcoming Change by Brinxiethebear

Chapters: 43/43

Damian Wayne always saw himself in a certain light. He was calculating and cold and he always took his work seriously. He was what others would call the Ice Prince. He was a loner and by choice. The only people he ever really tolerated talking to was his family and his only friend, Jon. Mainly he just spent time with his pets.

So can you guess what happens when a new girl ends up coming to his school? It's certainly not what he was expecting. He finds that its a welcoming change nonetheless, no matter what surprises may come his way.

Gotham's (Fashion) Disasters by FaithWarrior

Chapters: 22/?

Marinette and her parents are dragged along to the Rock wedding of the year by none other than the groom himself Jagged Stone. To complicate matters the wedding is in Gotham city America. By the grace of her Ladybug luck Marinette has everything prepared for the trip. But her skills are needed in Gotham, and she might find something while she's there.

Part 1

Remember some chapters are longer than others (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*.✧

Step into the Light - Chapter 7

[raisedonjesusandliterature]

Okay, so I have fallen headfirst into the fandom of the BatFamily (no regrets, I love all my children so very much!!!), and I just realized something because I am also a part of the Miraculous fandom… there was that period where there were DC x ML crossover fanfics, right? And I just need to know… Damian? Of all the batboys, we chose a serious, assassin-raised child for sweet, clumsy, adoring Marinette. Don’t get me wrong, I love my angsty boy very much, I am just slightly confused.

[beehiveofblorbos]

I might have just discovered a new class of fandoms

so you see I’m in the Miraculous Ladybug fandom still somewhat (more in it than Uncle Iroh is dead in Korra anyway) + also in the PJO fandom somewhat. Both have healthy and significant crossovers with Marvel and IN PARTICULAR, Spider-Man + Batman

I’ve seen a Spider-Man movie like once and the last time I saw a Batman movie I fell asleep and my roommate had to wake me up halfway thru to go back to our room, so. Let us say I do not have a good history with this media. Batman in specific I had a grudge against for awhile even in fandom bc of how so often ML X Batman crossovers just hate (puppy dog ML) Adrien and want to replace him with Damian.

However recently I managed to get into Maribatfam aus pretty much on the premise that Marinette is Batman’s long lost child somehow OR Batman adopts her for some reason. (Sorry Tom Dupain)

Now I’m beginning to read Spider-Man and Batfamily aus (+ branching into Marvel crossovers and maybe even later on Marvel overall).

To get a frame of reference on how much I know about Marvel, I recently discovered Wandavision is probably a ship name + Wanda and Vision are separate people. I also don’t know who Bucky Barnes is or why Steve is old now (though I do know that they’re shipped together a LOT). I know the names of the decathlon members on Peter’s team and I’ve kinda pieced together his tragic backstory with help from pop culture general knowledge? I’m still not sure if he can physically shoot the web stuff or if he made that in a lab though.

I wouldn’t call this fandom blind/media blind. What is this??? Does anyone else do this??? Which fandoms, and what’s your story?

[inter-fandom-beef-polls]

Which fandom crossover do you think is the most annoying?

ohohoHO ok so

see my thing is that I've been fairly deep in the ML, DP, and BNHA fandoms

i enjoy the batman cartoon tv shows just fine and the few live action movies i've seen, plus my mutuals who love the DC universe dearly have shared so many cool things about the universe that they love

i hold a very deep affection or respect for all of these fandoms

but the crossovers in general just seem to be "x teen superhero gets adompted by the batfamily because their family/friends/world doesn't love them anymore 🥺🥺🥺" and like,,,, it just looks woobifying and OOC and it's deadass every other POST in the tags nowadays for DP.

i'll admit in terms of BNHA i've seen much more of it on AO3 rather than on Tumblr so it may confuse some of y'all to see it here, but I've seen enough to put it on the list

this is all a very long-winded way of saying DPxDC ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY DPxDC

to begin with and to make it fair, the miraculous ladybug stuff has also died down more from the rampantness of like 3-6 years ago while the danny phantom stuff (and the BNHA stuff to a lesser degree) is active and well and driving me up the fucking wall

but also like, the miraculous crossovers were mainly just disgruntled ML fans trying to play with new romance tropes, and DC fans seemed to look at them like "well you don't really know what you're talking about, but we're just gonna let you have that corner of the sandbox to yourself and leave you alone". It was annoying, but isolated

DPxDC is a fucking endemic that was corrupt from the beginning as the DC side I've noticed tends to be from a very specific section of the fandom who also has not really read or engaged with any canon source material beyond the one webcomic where they're a big happy family and various uwu found family tiktoks and fanfics and tumblr posts that portray the same tropes. they're already notorious for trying to create their own canon out of completely made up fanon that they've consumed through other fans so they have no idea it's fake, but they're convincing themselves it's real

now it's like, they found DP, which they've ALSO rarely actually watched beyond a few episodes and decided to stick to the tumblr fandom for all their "facts" (which to be fair the actual show is kinda bad lmao but like, they're still missing out on VITAL INFORMATION), and they decided they were gonna like deadass just pick up danny out of the DC fandom (and his sister, they're obsessed with jazz too) and just plop them in the DC universe and act like they belong there, like it's not a crossover, like it's all part of their extended fanon-turned-canon

like, deadass putting in their fic notes that *they have not consumed either source material*, this shit!!!!!

so yeah, that's my answer

Book Rec Ask Meme (Part 3 of 7)

18. your least favorite book ever

One of the effects of being a shameless DNF-er is how I don't really have least favorite books. Because they can't be my least fave if I drop them halfway through and go and happily read something else instead. Least favorite book (singular) ever is even worse- why on earth would I read a book I loathe that much? The only answer is "Buddy Reads" and even for that I have drawn lines I will Not Cross. And even if those lines were crossed, I feel uncomfortable rating that book as "the worst" because making me read something I don't like makes me very, very mad and that naturally spills over to my feelings about the actual book.

So I skimmed through Goodreads and randomly picked a book that made me mad enough that I remembered being mad to this day. This actually means the book had potential, because I tend to forget books which had no redeeming features whatsoever. But this is also the third draft of this answer so it's what you're getting. (There is actually book I dislike more than this one, but that's getting saved for the un-recommend question.)

Tangled by Emma Chase is an office romcom. And it would probably be pretty entertaining (my tastes they are so low) if (a) the author did not decide that swearing was an inherently funny action and used it to indicate idk- something positive about the male lead, (b) it weren't for the unquestioned gender essentialism - you know the thing, men are like this women are like that and god forbid anyone deviates even slightly from the norm, and (c) I didn't keep getting smacked in the face with constant workplace sexual harassment.

The harassment was bad enough to have my oblivious self feel mildly uncomfortable when I first read it. When I skimmed through it again to remember why I hated it so much it almost made me want to puke. If any guy thought about me the way the ML thought about the FL I would knee him in the balls. Also, I HATE it when romances end with a "grand gesture" that magically solves everything. Especially in this case. FL, you were so fucking bland that I don't remember a goddamned thing about you but you should have kneed him in the balls. For fuck's sake.

QUOTE: (slime. slime all over my face and my arms.)

Doe Eyes may be telling me no…but her body? Her body’s screaming, Yes, yes, fuck me on the bar. In the span of three minutes, she’s told me why she’s here, what she does for a living, and allowed me to fondle her hand. Those are not the actions of a woman who is not interested—those are the actions of a woman who does not want to be interested. And I can definitely work with that.

wheeeee~

okay so there's are enough of these questions that I'm gonna answer this in parts because otherwise (a) I'll never finish and (b) tumblr WILL end up earing my drafts and I wince just thinking about that. So here we go-

1. a book that is close to your heart

The Beginning by K.A. Applegate. Anyone who's spent some time on my tumblr knows about my obsession with this series. It drilled into my ear and took over all higher life form function way back when I was an impressionable pre-teen. And then after sometime, when I thought I'd found other things to obsess about, I found copies of the final arc and it decided to permanently take up residence in my brain.

The Beginning is the final installment of the Animorphs series, which famously feature kids turning into animals to fight brain stealing alien puppeteers. It's not a climax- it's a extended denouement, because the books have always been about how children people are affected by war as much as as it was about the actual war. Animorphs also ended on a very bittersweet note, something unthinkable to baby me who had never seen a story end this way before. It was a learning experience.

Quote:

"Jake, you can't . . ." She took a deep breath. "You can't equate the victim and the perpetrator."

"So as long as you're playing defense it's not possible to commit a war crime?" I asked. "That's pretty close to just saying that the winner makes the rules because it's the winner who writes the history."

She grabbed my arm and searched for my eyes, forcing me to look at her. "No, Jake, it isn't. There are a lot of close calls in history, lots of wars where the blame is evenly split between the sides. This isn't one of them. Before they came to Earth no human ever attacked a Yeerk. No human ever harmed a Yeerk. This one is clear: We are the victims. They made war on us."

"That's good," I said softly. "All of that is good. We have justification. We're the good guys."

Marco said, "That's right, Big Jake, we are."

I nodded. "That's good for the big picture. See, my problem is a little more personal."

Ax asked.

"Well, Ax-man, you're right, you did call my attention to the possibilities on the Pool ship. And when you did that I guess I should have thought, Well, Jake, it's a harsh, terrible thing to do, but you're justified because, after all, you're the victim here. But that's not what I thought. You know what I thought?"

Cassie released her grip on me. But Marco just took a step up close, right in my face.

"I know what you thought, Jake. You thought Die, you filthy worms. Feel the fear, Yeerks. Feel the pain. Feel the helplessness. You wanted them to suffer and the idea of them suffering and dying made you happy. You were thrilled. You were high."

Cassie winced. She looked away.

I said, "Yeah, Marco. That was about it: word for word."

Book Rec Ask Meme (Part 2 of 7)

13. your favorite romance novel

You should know by now that I don't actually have favorites. I have a list of things I like and how much I like them varies with time, emotions, circumstances, and also maybe the phases of the moon. But The Duke in Disguise by Cat Sabastian was the first book I thought of when I saw this question, so it's the answer by default.

A Duke in Disguise is a standalone (technically it's part of a series, but books in romance novels series are often functionally standalones with cameos) romance story about two childhood friends- a prickly left-leaning publisher trying to keep her business afloat and an illustrator (engraver, to be precise) who turns out to be the long-lost heir to a dukedom. It's filled with class rage and ideas about what independence means and wonderful friend and family characters. The heroine is bi and filled with rage goes to her ex-girlfriend when she wants to yell about stuff. It's great.

QUOTE:

How one was meant to feed all these people on a couple of mutton chops Verity did not know. Supper was supposed to serve four: herself, Nate, Ash, and Charlie. But Nate had come home with three friends he met at the pub, which would have been bad enough even if he hadn’t evidently also invited Amelia Allenby, the half-grown daughter of Verity’s friend. At half past seven, a carriage pulled up in front of the house and disgorged a girl in pearl earbobs and a white muslin frock, dressed as if she were going to dine with the great and good of the land, rather than pick at too few mutton chops and be an eyewitness to sedition. Amelia was seventeen and looked upon Nate with a degree of hero worship that nobody who brought three hungry radicals home to dinner deserved.

1. a book that is close to your heart

The Curse of Chalion by Lois McMaster Bujold. I mean, I love almost everything this author writes but I'd only read her space opera series before this, and space opera was (at least back then) not as much my genre as Fantasy is.

It was also a very different type of fantasy from what I'd experienced. I'd mostly read grand sweeping fantasy epics before CoC, with a dash of Tamora Pierce to even things out. But I think this was the first time I'd seen adult fantasy which was less about world domination and more about people just trying to get by in the face of curses and life in general etc. Caz is a wonderful protagonist because he's so tired and so traumatized and he juxtaposes beautifully with Iselle (who is the /thematic/ protagonist) who's vibrant and a beacon of hope. The divinity-based magic system is wonderful. The way of breaking the curse is wonderfully clever. This book made me actually weep more than once. I just- //flails

It also made me be more active about searching for adult fantasy I was actually interested in, because till that point I really thought all we could have were chosen one quest narratives.

Quote:

“Any man can be kind when he is comfortable. I'd always thought kindness a trivial virtue, therefore. But when we were hungry, thirsty, sick, frightened, with our deaths shouting at us, in the heart of horror, you were still as unfailingly courteous as a gentleman at ease before his own hearth.”

My #1 post of 2022

It just struck me how the MCU is milking the hell out of a nearly manufactured out of whole cloth mentor-mentee/dad-son relationship between a billionaire superhero and a socially disadvantaged kid superhero while the dc cinematic universe, which has multiple canon relationships like that, ignored them COMPLETELY in favor of more serial killer showcases.

[ellienettie]

Imagine if Jack and Janet bring Tim to a Wayne gala and Adrien and Marinette are there too and Adrien sees a sad lonely neglected child and he just turns to Marinette like;

Adrien: look, our child

Marinette: that's not ours?

Adrien: not yet.

And of course they end up adopting Tim

Tim learns about the miracle crew, he ends up wearing the cat miraculous and somehow idk he runs into the batfam and he doesn't wanna expose himself so he just goes "Behold, catwoman's and batman's love child" and *disappears* into a blue portal that just opens behind him

Wear Your Heart On Your Wrist And Together, We’ll Soar To The Sky

Yo so here's chapter five! I had a hard time ending this for some reason because on one hand I wanted to end it on the last part before the line break, on the other, I wanted to include the one on the last part after the line break. My brain is very fried right now ngl

Btw so curse words are now filtered. I mean as much as I like cursing (please don't tell my parents, I don't want to die ㅠㅠ), I really think it's not ideal for it to be seen in my works (only in the fanfics). I'm still going to write warnings tho but like the actual curse words are just censored...

Anywho, hope you enjoy!

Warning: Swearing and cuss words may be present. Please read with caution, thank you!

Chapter Five – I’m Sorry

Juleka had decided to wait for Marinette in their room right after their dinner and has been waiting for her for about a half-hour or so, give or take. And she’s okay with it. It was perfectly understandable for Marinette to stall for time before they talk about their feelings—which, she has to admit, is something they both don’t like to dwell much on—because it was her who asked to talk to the girl, not the other way around.

Shaking her head, she vaguely hears the ravenette talking to her friends outside. She hears soft murmurs and giggling just outside the door and, for some reason, the sound forms a knot in her stomach. Maybe it was because she missed being near that laughter, basking in the light that everyone knows (well, maybe some people in their class don’t) is Marinette.

Slapping her hands to her face to wake herself up, she wiggles on the bed to sit properly and at least keep her nerves at bay. It’s not that she’s nervous that Marinette would lash out on her or push her away—it’s perfectly understandable, though, if she were to do that since she did it to her first—it’s more like, she’s afraid that this “talk” they’re going to have will eventually hurt her.

You see, Juleka didn’t actually just started researching about Lila a few weeks ago. No, she had been researching for years (a good two to three years to be exact). And no, she did not have that hard of a time in scavenging the internet for answers to the Italian’s tales, so her lies weren’t really the main reason why she took a long time before talking to Marinette (except Lila had grown a bit better with her lies over time and had weird “proofs” and sometimes talked about people not from their generation (one of which was a weird artist she didn’t know about and couldn’t have bothered to remember the name of and she distinctly remembers having to stay up late and use her computer for hours on end, only to find that one article that said that they hated politics, which lead to the inevitable conclusion of how could Lila’s parents—who are supposedly involved in that division—be involved with that person?). So, yes, she definitely now has a hacker as a part-time job because Wikipedia can easily be edited by anyone so using that was a bust and just made her work a tad bit harder).

There was also the issue of how many lies the brunette tells every day. Seriously, she was like a rattling gun, spewing out bullsh■■ after bullsh■■ that Juleka can’t even count and determine which is real or fake in her plethora of words anymore!

But what really, really made her delay the restoration of hers and Marinette’s friendship is Lila herself. The teen was confused about her reasons for lying. She can’t say that she’s doing it because she wants to make friends, no, if that were the case, then if she’d already talked to Marinette, she’d know that the ravenette would accept her for who she is even without all her “glam”. But that’s not only the case. Juleka is also confused about the looks Lila kept giving Marinette.

Being an emotionally stunted teenager, the younger Couffaine isn’t one for chatting so she just opted for watching people’s body language. She has done so for years to the point that she can proudly say that she was almost an expert at it. So, imagine her utter shock and slight horror whenever she sees Lila staring at Marinette.

It wasn’t the normal I-hate-you-and-wish-for-your-death stare that you give to your mortal enemy, no, it was more crazed and unnerving. It made Juleka uncomfortable to even stand near the brunette. Something about her stare just screamed... something... something she can’t quite explain and she knows for sure that that something is fuelled with not-so-good intentions.

Shaking her head, the teen focuses on the sounds outside the door. Or more like, lack thereof... suffice to say, she briefly panics.

The brunette fumbles around the room before promptly sitting down on the bed, back ramrod straight with her hands clasped together atop her thighs. Sweat drips from her forehead and down her chin as she hears the doorknob rattle (was it just her or was it extra loud in her ears?) a few seconds before the door opens painfully slow.

Holding her breath, Juleka watches the raven-haired girl she’s been waiting for look around the room and sigh before going rigid when she finally catches sight of her.

“Marinette!” She abruptly stands up before remembering that what she’s doing is, in fact, embarrassing so she sits down again. “We–Welcome back.” She shrinks in on herself and busies her hands with fiddling with her sleeves.

“...yeah, I’m back,” the ravenette says while gently shutting the door with her hands behind her back.

. . .

What now??????????

Pointedly trying not to look at each other in the eye, uncomfortable silence blankets the whole room. Gosh, should she start? Oh, who is she kidding, of course, she should start! She was the one who wanted to talk to Marinette in the first place!

“I– um,” she stutters and swallows the rising lump in her throat. Gosh, was it just her or was it getting hot in here?

She dabs the sweat on her cheek with the edge of her sleeves and chances a peek at the blue-eyed beauty.

Ever since she had met her, Juleka had always been mesmerized by the girl’s beauty. Thick eyelashes that seemed to be an inch long; big, doe eyes that looked at the world with so much purity and compassion that Juleka has never wanted to protect anyone so much more than at that moment. Eyebrows that look so cleanly brushed you’d think she got it made, and pink lips that hid smiles brighter than the stars.

She’s got Mme. Cheng’s petite looks and strong physique, and M. Dupain’s big heart and safe arms.

The younger Couffaine could clearly remember how, even as a child, the Eurasian girl had always been the subject of almost all of their schoolmates’ affections. Even until now, women, men, and children alike still turn their heads whenever she walks near.

She recalls that even she—before she met Rose—had had her heart stolen by the girl at one point.

Briefly shaking herself out of her stupor, Juleka gnaws at her lip and tugs at the loose thread she conveniently found on the hem of her shirt.

Back to the matter at hand, how can she start their conversation? Should she apologize first? Or maybe talk about what she found out about Lila? Ah, seriously, this is why she should've listened to her brother’s nagging about needing to socialize with more people her age. Damn social interaction for being so gross.

“Juleka?”

She snaps out of her reverie and raises her head to the voice. Marinette looks at her with a confused glint in her eyes while her lips are curled with worry. Ah, did she take too long to answer?

She clenches her fist to somewhat ground herself and furrows her eyebrows. Her eyes shake with fury (for the Italian) and fear (of being rejected by the ravenette) and her sight seemed to go dark and bleary. “Lila, she—!”

“What about her?”

The ravenette’s interruption makes her head snap into attention that she almost felt whiplash. She stares at the girl’s apathetic face with confusion and opens her mouth. “She—!” she cuts herself off as she sees Marinette raise an eyebrow and sigh.

“Come, sit down”—she pulls at Juleka’s arm and sits her down on her bed— “and talk. You don’t have to look at me, you don’t have to try to placate me or whatever, just speak. You called me here to talk, but all you’ve been doing is pausing and looking up at me every five seconds instead of talking.”

The Eurasian girl’s voice sounded steeled but as the goth meets her eyes, she sees her gaze slightly wavering. Finding a hint of anxiety and fear lie just beneath her bluebell eyes and a small tug downwards on the corner of her lips gave Juleka all the more courage to communicate with the girl. Because her bundle of nerves could never be compared to what Marinette must be feeling right now.

“I know Lila lied,” she starts. “I–I’ve known for a while now and the reason why I didn’t… didn’t say anything yet was because I wanted to be sure.” She pauses and looks to the side, placing her frustrations on the edges of her sleeves.

“I mean, at first, the reason why I–I didn’t hang out with you as much as before was because you didn’t like Li–Lila that much so I thought you’d like some space,” she explains and tries to gulp down the lump in her throat before continuing. “But when I found out why exactly, I wanted to have more proof before talking”—she looks down at the floor and traces the lines with her eyes— “so… so that when they try to put down my–my–my voice, like they did to… to you, I can persuade them.” She feels Marinette’s eyes on her but, strangely enough, it wasn’t as piercing as she thought it’d be.

Grasping at thin straws of her courage, she arranges her bangs to hide more part of her face and continues, “I–I know I shouldn’t have waited too long to say any–anything but—” she cuts herself off and hunches her shoulders to hug herself. “—I was scared.”

She shuts her eyes and the image of Lila’s creepy gaze—the one she’d always direct to Marinette—appears in her head. “Not only because… because I may also be pushed away by them, I mean, I–I already knew that I will be if… if I said anything, but also because of… of Lila.”

She snaps her eyes open and looks at the ravenette in the eye. “There’s something there. Something in her gazes, her touches; something… something I can’t explain and… and it scares me.” She feels her hand lightly shake and her heart pounds heavily in her chest. “You have to stay away from her, Marinette.”

She looks down at her lap and wrings her hands, anxiety creeps inside her heart and her breathing grows heavy. The very thought of having one of her oldest friends—ever since école maternelle—be targeted by someone quite possibly dangerous scares her.

She hears a sigh and suddenly, warmth covers her shoulders. She looks up and—oh. Oh, Marinette’s hugging her. Marinette’s hugging her.

She shakily clutches the girl’s back and lays her head on Marinette’s shoulder. Even though the Eurasian was physically smaller than her, she seemed to always have such a big figure.

“I know.” She hears Marinette’s soft voice and a shaky sigh slips out from her lips. “I know that there’s something up with Lila. I know that… that it could be dangerous and that’s precisely why I never liked her, why I always kept my distance whenever she’s near.”

True to her words, Juleka had always remembered Marinette frowning whenever she hears Lila’s voice, leaving whenever Lila joins in on their conversations.

With one last squeeze, the brunette feels the Eurasian break free from the hug but leaves her hands on her shoulders. “Thank you for looking out for me,” she says. “Thank you for telling me all this even though I know that it must’ve been hard for you.” With a soft curve of her lips, she places their foreheads against each other. “Thank you, Juleka.”

Tears prick at the edge of her vermillion orbs and she tries to blink them away, only to have them spilling down her cheeks.

She chokes back a cry and shakes her head. “I’m sorry,” she sobs. Tears continue to flow down the brunette’s face but she makes no effort in wiping them away, opting to just wrap her arms around Marinette like a lifeline. “I’m sorry for pushing you away, for not listening to your words, for… for everything. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry.”

She cries and screams like a child. She apologizes for everything; she berates herself for ever doubting her friend. And for once, she doesn’t worry about being controlled by a megalomaniac who dresses up with a deflated balloon over his face.

She shouts and wails and cries like there’s no tomorrow. And if the vigilantes of Gotham take in the displeasure of hearing her, then, she hopes that they’ll just leave her be and pretend to not hear anything.

–––––––––––––––––

Waking up to the sound of her ringtone and a slight running of water, Juleka opens her eyes. Only to find it hard to do so. Ah, sh■■, okay, her eyes are hella puffy and are hella squinting. She really hopes that their swelling will go down before they have to meet up with the rest of the class in the lobby.

Groaning, she sits upright and stretches her arms above her head before the sound of a door opening catches her attention.

“Oh, you’re awake,” the familiar voice of Marinette reaches her ears. She sees the said girl bring her an ice pack for her eyes and thanks her.

After minutes of preparation, they leave for the lobby and Juleka is praying to the gods that their classmates won’t notice that she cried the night before. Marinette said that her eyes didn't swell anymore and are just a little reddish and not that noticeable but she’s still anxious.

It’s been two days and Juleka spent it all crying and reconciling with Marinette so she didn’t have time to rest properly. Not like she’s the only one, though, because Marinette also didn’t have time to rest in favor of her dramatic display of apologizing.

Although, there were times when the Eurasian’s friends would visit her in the middle of another one of Juleka’s repenting rituals. And it was so awkward because, just as Juleka and Marinette became not so close after Lila’s arrival, she and Marinette’s group also became distanced. And even if she had already apologized to the ravenette for two days straight, she knows that such bridges won’t be that fast to rebuild.

“Jules!” A familiar voice snaps her out of her reverie and she smiles at the small, blue-eyed blonde running towards her.

“Hey, Rose,” she greets the pixie-like girl with a pat on her head. She lets Rose hug the life out of her for a few minutes before letting go and joining their classmates.

She waits as Mmes. Bustier and Mendeleiev take their roll call while silently observing a certain Italian. Her eyes follow the girl’s every movement, from her little hand gestures whenever she’s boasting about her “achievements” to the way her eyes always seem to trace Marinette’s figure from time to time.

There she goes again, she thought, staring at Marinette like a predator to its prey.

Juleka distinctly remembers in her two-day repentance to Marinette about their talks of Lila’s actions. How, whenever people’s attention seems to turn away from her, she’d always make an incident to grab it again. How she’d always target Marinette for some reason, like that time when she was almost expelled—which Juleka now knows was another one of Lila’s ploys to bring down Marinette’s reputation—and a certain incident inside the bathroom (that she heard from Adrien in one of their visits).

Seriously, so Marinette already tried to reason with Lila! She just decided to not only ignore her but also threaten her! That little f■■■er!

Frowning at the reminder, Juleka thanks the gods for making Lila be on the down-low after the almost-Scarlet Moth incident. Although, she still can’t help but be suspicious of her inactivity.

By the gods, if this girl starts again and gets them killed or in danger—in any way form—she’ll start a riot, not even Gotham’s ruthless villains can save them!

She watches as Marinette walks past Lila—who’s chatting with Alya about something with gusto—pointedly ignoring her odd stare and not noticing the puddle right by her feet!

“Marine—!” she cuts herself off when Lila suddenly wraps her hands around Marinette’s arm and jerks her away from the small pool of dirty water.

“Right, Marinette?” Lila chirps sweetly—making Marinette promptly join in on their conversation—while further coiling her arms around Marinette’s own, etching a deep scowl on the ravenette’s pretty face.

Marinette roughly shakes her arms off of Lila’s vice grip and fixes her sleeve. “Sure,” she answers short and fast before rushing over to her friends without looking back.

“Aw, how nice! Lila helped Marinette avoid that puddle!” Mylène gushes beside her and chats up with Ivan about more of Lila’s “good deeds”. All the while, Juleka is left staring at the brunette looking strangely proud with herself as she continues in conversing with Alya.

“Right...” she mumbles, even more confused than she already was when she first saw Lila’s unnerving gazes at Marinette.

What the f■■■ just happened?

Oof, now Juleka's confused. Are you also confused? Because I sure as hell am! I wonder what Lila's deal is tho?

Btw, I headcanon the Couffaine family to be just ride or die, fuck the police, type of people because Juleka literally suggested kidnapping as "cool" and Anarka just straight up yelled at an officer because he won't let her children scream like there's no tomorrow (lol) so yeah Juleka swears in this one ://

Anyways so like I know it's been like what a month? yeah a month, but actually I've been writing an original and I'm actually currently trying to put more focus on that hahaha well like at least until I gain like a lot of chapters in advance so that when the time of posting it comes, I'll just be sitting back and waiting until my supplies of chapters run out lol

So yeah, didn't see that coming didya? (I'm sorry I just don't know what to say ㅠㅠ)

Btw, I just looked at my followers count (and I just did so because I'm using my computer and it's right there!) and wowie I've long passed 500????????

When Harley Quinn asks the BatClan for help, they listen. Because if she’s going to them, of all people, it’s because she doesn’t need help with something illegal, or with taking someone down, or teaching anyone a lesson. The only reason Harley would ask them for help is if someone, or something, that Harley considered important needed protecting.

Or if the Joker was involved.

Luckily (that was sarcasm) for all of Gotham, this particular story involves both of those prerequisites being met at the same time. Her daughter, who she has kept secret for years, is coming to Gotham and the last thing Harley wants is for the Joker to find out about her.

But her daughter isn’t walking into the lion’s den for nothing. She has her own mission in mind, one that she also needs the help of the Bats for.

So, all in all, it’s the usual Gotham chaos.

[Familia/Family:(Step)Mother & Son]

Marinette: "I cannot Believe You snuck out Again & didn't alert Dick or Bruce this time! Alfred & I were worried sick about you! *Sighs* Just because you're the Blood son of Batman, you don't go out & look for trouble. We all care for you Damian. Even if your father doesn't show it."
