    Summary

    “Tell you what Princess, I will make you a deal. If you ask him out and he rejects you, like you seem to think he will, I will never drop by for any unscheduled visits that don’t involve purple butterflies again. However, if I am right and he says yes, then not only do I reserve the right to continue basking in your presence whenever I so choose, but you will also provide me with free croissants every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for the next two months.”

    “You don’t want to make this bet kitty.”

    “Oh, I am pretty sure I do.”

    Summary

    “Inmate #8024 of Gotham Asylum Institution. State your name.”

    “Marinette Dupain-Cheng.”

    How had she come to this, you might wonder? Well... It wasn't as long of a story as you would think.

    Summary

    There is an unspoken rule, kept by any outsider who's ever set foot in Gotham, that you should only ever visit the city once. (For some, even once is far too much.)

    The most dangerous city on earth isn't kind to its residents—much less strangers who don't know how to watch their pockets or keep off the streets after dark. It's gotten better, perhaps, in recent years since the Bat started lurking on rooftops, but that doesn't mean the city is good.

    Normal people stay as far from Gotham as they can get.

    Marinette, (un)luckily, is far from normal.

    ***

    The story of Marinette stumbling upon the illustrious Wayne family over and over again, as well as the more infamous Bats, over the course of her many visits to Gotham. She, of course, charms the whole lot of them and finds that the same is true in the reverse.
