    Summary

    Now in their mid-twenties, Marinette returns home to their shared apartment to find Adrien cheating. Devastated, she immediately joins a mission in America for the Justice League.

    Once the goons are all down, Robin, her long-time coworker (and even though he doesn't realize it yet, admirer) notices something off about Ladybug. He offers her a place to stay while she heals from her heartbreak, and his favor as a very kind Co-worker does not go without hijinks. Identity shenanigans ensue, healthy healing while also grieving the loss of the relationship, and conversations about the future. Feelings also occur between them but... Damian wants to be more than just a rebound.

    Side plots include: Tim losing his mind over Damian coming into the office dressing fashionably in MDC and Jason is losing his mind trying to track down the random pixie woman who healed his pit madness.

    TL:DR: Marinette crashes on Damian's couch while healing a broken heart. Mutual respect and appreciation thrive here. Sad for a second but gets happier as it goes.

    Summary

    Princess Marinette has issued a challenge; the one to retrieve the key tied around the monster's neck will have her hand in marriage.

    It really should have been simple for the various lords, knights, and peasants alike to achieve.

     

    Spoiler; it wasn't.

    Summary

    Based in part on ggomos-maribat's tumblr post about Damian and Marinette being casual about being married.

    Ladybug and her team join the Justice League, and honestly, she should have expected that this level of organization would require a ton of meetings. Frazzled but surviving it, Ladybug gets to her meeting way too early after her computer fails to update time zones. Robin, who considers 15 minutes early to mean punctual, shows up in a good mood after some big life news and they get to talking.

    Unfortunately, the second their fingers touch they become soul bonded.

    TL;DR: Ladybug and Robin navigate suddenly being spiritually married, the whole watchtower somehow finds out and wouldn't you know it, they make a great pair. Power couple bullshit, Secret identity shenanigans, and lots of calling each other husband and wife. But like, casually.

    Summary

    When his brothers get it in their head that Damian Wayne needs more friends his own age (and species), he is unwittingly signed up for a Pen Pal website. He is matched with a girl in Paris who manages to worm her way into his heart, whether he likes it or not.

    Even though Marinette Dupain-Cheng has little time already, she decides that the best way to improve her English-speaking skills before going off to university is to sign up for a Pen Pal website. With all the hype she has heard from Alya, she is excited to make a new friend while expanding her resume. What she doesn't expect is to be matched with a gruff boy who wants nothing to do with her.

    Through pain, comfort, growth, and villains, they learn to rely on those that love them, and fall in love with each other in the process.

    Summary

    Damian looks at his notebook, scanning his research.

    Combining what info the internet has provided on good romantic partners, along with some of his own preferences, she’s statistically the best option.

    “Hm. Yes, you will do.”

    “Oh! Uhh… what?...”

    Damian’s family are pestering him to be more of a normal teenager. He doesn’t want to be more of a normal teenager. The average teens he observes at school are brainless savages. But his family is getting so annoying about it he’d do almost anything to get them to shut up.

    Then Marinette Dupain-Cheng transfers to his school. She’s intelligent, quiet, respectful of his boundaries— generally acceptable.

    His family want normal teen behavior? Fine. He’ll bring a girlfriend home.

    “Will you be my girlfriend?”

    Marinette blinks. Ya know what? This might as well happen.

    “Sure.”

     

    Daminette as told through equally socially unaware messes, general misunderstandings of each other's skill and experience, and a total lack of awareness as to how many flowers are too many flowers.
