Its Monday

reflagging this because its so freaking cute and adorable

anyone please ask your crush out like this

the ao3 lyric video strikes again

actually when I was in 8th grade and obsessed with twilight my master plan as a twilight vampire was to sit around in famous shipwrecks like the super deep ones where they can only send robots with cameras from their submarines and when they sent one down i’d be sitting there, pretending to drink out of an old tea cup you know for the drama of it all and the guys in the submarine would know what they saw and that it was real footage but who else would believe them? no one important.

but it didn’t stop there. at the next party they threw to celebrate one of their latest finds, some museum-y banquet idk I was 13, I was going to show up. I was going to show up and make eye contact with them one at a time from across the room and they were going to lose their goddamn minds and then before the volturi could catch wind i was gonna be back in the ocean. how could they find me?

the drama. the theatrics. i can’t believe i didn’t realize i was gay right then but that’s another story, also involving vampires,

Master List Previous

Damian had to wait until the end of his school day until he got an update from Marinette. He had seen the live stream, that was until they dropped the camera and ran for their life, seeing as they finally realized how dangerous it was to stay out.

At around two in his time, eight in hers, she had called him. Damian was in the library, scrolling through Marinette’s Instagram for what seemed like the hundredth time when he got it. With his earphones already in his ears, he just answered the call. “Mari?” Damian questioned.

“Oh hey.” Marinette called out, yawning afterwards. Marinette’s eyes weren’t fully opened, and she kept blinking, like she was trying to blink away her sleep. “Sorry for not calling you sooner. I had fallen asleep and just woke up five minutes ago.” Marinette told him. “Which reminds me, I need to go get my dinner. Be right back.” Marinette told him, before rushing off the screen.

Damian stared at where the girl was previously at. After hearing that she was just napping, he wondered what caused her to fall asleep after an akuma that could have, and may possibly have killed her. After looking at past livestreams, it wasn’t everyday that an akuma could have killed them.

Marinette came back on screen with a plate of food, setting it down off screen. “To put it shortly, there was an akuma that exploded everything in their way. Apparently, their science project blew up in their face, literally, and they exploded everything and anything.” Marinette explained. In between sentences, she would take a bit of food, feeding her upset stomach.

“Mari, how do you just sleep through something life threatening?” Damian asked. A rare sight of emotion, concern, appeared on the teen’s face, generally curious in what she would say to it.

“I don’t know. I was just burned out after school and fell asleep.” Marinette answered. Suddenly, her eyes shot wide. “I didn’t do my homework! Ms. Mendelev is gonna kill me!” Marinette got up from where she was sleeping, any signs of sleep were gone, and she was frantically searching her room for her backpack.

Damian, on his side of the phone, was silently chuckling at the sight of her quickly searching her room. “Found it.” Marinette called out. Seeing the backpack in front of her, she breathed out a sigh of relief. Taking a step forward, she forgot about her clumsiness and tripped over her own food, landing face first on the ground. Damian stopped his chuckling and looked at her.

“I’m alright.” Marinette’s muffled voice answered his unspoken question. Getting up like nothing happened, gracefully, she picked up the piece of paper and sat back down to where she was originally. “Do you know pre-calculus?” After getting a nod in return, she smiled brightly. “Can you help me? I don’t completely understand it?”

~One month ago~

Gotham; 8:00, Sunday

Damian knocked on his father’s door, a paper in hand. The paper was something from his school that needed (wanted) signed.

After hearing a gruff ‘come in’, he opened the door, closing it behind him. Sitting down in one of the arm chairs in the office, he gave his father the paper.

There was a moment of silence between the two, with his father reading the sheet of paper. But it was when he finished, he looked at his biological son as if to ask if he was joking.

“Are you aware of the reason why you were put into school?” Bruce asked the teenager. Damian nodded, knowing his father’s response. “Then why did you hand me this?”

“The school thinks I’m better off not wasting my time in the classroom, seeing as I don’t learn anything, and I agree with them for once.” His father gave his signature glare at him, his argument not convincing him. “I also have someone I talk to, seeing as my class assigned me to talk to them. It’s the only reason I’m still in my writing class.” Damian continued.

Bruce raised an eyebrow. “Really.”

“I have no reason to lie father.” Damian answered. “Plus, I find it enjoyable to talk to them.”

Bruce sighed, and pinched the bridge of his nose. “I’ll sign it, but I want to meet this friend of yours.”

Damian nodded. He stood up from the seat he was sitting on, and left the office, knowing he would get it back after patrol, signed.

********

His father’s words were repeating in his head. He knew that his father wanted to meet this friend of his, (was she even his friend?) but he didn’t know if Marinette would be up for it. And even if she was, how would she even meet his father? He knew that she was halfway across the world, so his father might be suspicious if he gave him a computer screen to chat with her.

Their call had just ended with him going home, and with her doing whatever she does after their calls. He knows he should have asked her the moment he saw her, but he was more concerned about how she was after the attack that happened. (What was this girl doing to him?)

He was so into his thoughts, that he didn’t notice that they had made it back to manor. When he realized, with Alfred calling his name and telling him, he went straight to his room. He didn’t realize that his brothers, even Todd and Grayson, who all had their own places and normally didn’t stay there, were out there in one of the many living rooms in the big house.

Making it into his room, he shut and locked his door. Damian set his stuff down where they belonged in his room, and sat on his bed. When he noticed that Titus was in the middle of his bed, he sighed and went towards the desk in his room. Turning on the computer, he realized that he didn’t have anything to do, but the only thing that was on his mind was to message or talk to Marinette.

Taking his phone out of his pocket, he went to instagram and went to see if there was anything there that would take his mind off of her, but that failed when it showed that she was online.

Knowing that this was going to be on his mind for the longest time, he decided to avoid the unavoidable and message her, though using his private account so that it was less likely for someone to see.

-----------

When the call ended because Damian had to go back home, Marinette realized that she wasn’t tired, because she had just taken a four hour long nap. The sun was already gone, the moon out and shining, so that eliminates any options to go out at night. Except patrol, but she wasn’t in the right mood for it.

After putting her dish away from her dinner, she went on her computer in her room and went through instagram. She saw the many notifications from her MDC account, so she went to that one and read the many comments she had gotten from it.

‘Did you see her following count go up!’

‘Her and the ice prince are mutuals?’

‘Why is she following Damian Wayne? She doesn’t follow anyone else really?’

Marinette giggled at those, and liked the ones that were related to the fact that her and Damian had followed one another.

‘It’s obvious that she only followed Damian Wayne because she likes him. But he’s already taken by Lila.’

Rolling her eyes, and deleting the comment, she noticed the notification coming from her personal account. Switching the account she was on, she noticed she had gotten a message from Damian. Did he forget to tell her something from the call they were previously on?

thebloodson: My father wishes to meet you.

me: ok

me: u do see the problem with that right

thebloodson: Yes, obviously. I informed you so that we can come up with a way to have my father meet you.

me: we could just video chat

me: or you could just say that i dont live in gotham

thebloodson: Perhaps

——————

Due to him texting Marinette, his brothers were soon off his mind. So he didn’t notice any of their shadows outside of his bedroom door.

“Anyone wanna bet he’s in love?” His eldest brother commented.

Do you have any group chat or social media fics

So I don't read a ton of group chat fics since it tends not to be my type of humour (I'm old lol) so I was surprised at how many fics I had for this rec list. But you expanded it to social media and I’ve expanded it to include emails and texts, and there’s some really awesome fics that you hopefully enjoy as much as I did!

Ping by meeble

Chat Noir wants to follow Marinette on Instagram.

What could go wrong?

[Slightly crack-ish, but mostly just funny social media shenanigans.]

Multi-chapter. Group chat/instagram fic. This fic is so freaking funny, omg I cracked up over and over again. You can tell the author was just having a blast with it, and I had a blast reading it too!

A Miraculous Reveal: Instagram by @kasienda

Upon viewing a certain Instagram Post involving a random floating sock, Marinette puts two and two together and gets four. She then resolves to go yell at Adrien as Ladybug for being careless with his identity.

One-shot within a series. (The other reveals are absolutely worth reading as well!!) Instagram fic. No one else is involved (well, I guess their kwamis), and this is shockingly not crack given the concept. The characterizations are amazing, especially with Marinette's crush being overpowered by her Ladybug sense of responsibility, and Adrien's need for love/validation contrasted with his Chat cheekiness.

the challenge which must not be named by @isadorator

Adrien decides to follow the latest TikTok trend since he is basic af and basically in love.

One-shot. TikTok fic. Adrien participates in the "walk in naked challenge" on Marinette (established relationship) because of course he does lol. This is only rated T, it's just funny and cute and it put a smile on my face.

tell me something i don’t know by @carpisuns​

Do you think it still means something? To love someone, even if the universe said you had to?

The odds of having a soulmate are about negative one billion (or something like that). But somehow, like they always have, Marinette and Chat Noir find themselves together. They’re ready to finally tell each other everything, but it turns out that even soulmates have to keep secrets, and they can only be together if they vow never to touch.

Multichapter. I'm hesitant to call it a messaging fic because it's so much more than that, but there are entire chapters that are devoted to messaging exchanges (between Marinette and Chat, and Ladybug and Chat, and Marinette and Adrien) and they're amaaaazinggggg. (Seriously some made me laugh, some made me cry, they're all fantastic.)

Motherfucking Superheroes by walkingonthestars

Alya Cesaire created the chat Miraculous Holders.

Alya Cesaire added Nino Lahiffe, Max Kante, Lê Chiên Kim, Luka Couffaine, and Kagami Tsurugi to the chat.

Alya: soooo, not sure how you guys are feeling about today's events, but I feel like we should talk about it

In which the exposed heroes have a group chat.

Takes place a few hours after the events of Miracle Queen. Rated Teen for language.

One-shot. If you’ve been searching for group chat fics, you’ve probably read this one already, but it’s super funny! And, shockingly, it has an actual plot, even though the entire fic is told through the chat. If by some chance you haven’t read it yet, you definitely should!

The following fic is amazing and absolutely worth reading, but does feature sexual content, so minors beware.

one night of moonlight by calloffyourethics

i'll always think of you inside of my private thoughts i can imagine you touching my private parts

2:13 ok im texting you now like i promised instead of drunktexting adrien and telling him how badly i want his cock tonight. arent you proud of me? 2:19 this is Adrien, hi.

Marinette's brain-to-mouth filter isn't great on the best of days. Add some beer and some misplaced texts, and things get a little more... interesting.

One-shot. Texting fic. Rated M. Maybe this isn't QUITE what you had in mind, but asdfghjkl this is one of my favourite fics of all time and I had to include it! This is so steamy and yet the UST burnnnnsssss and the mutual pining and I love it so much!!

Another DC TA Marinette Story

*So the other version is strictly a one-shot drabble post while this one might, and I repeat might have more than two parts. 

Part 1: Welcome to Gotham 

Part 1 (here) | Part 2 | 

Marinette’s having a bad day. It started with her waking up late, breaking her five-day streak of waking up early. She nearly fell on her way down the stairs, thankfully she remained unharmed. Then she was late coming to class, but that mainly due to poor time management decisions. Only for her to then realize that she’s no longer a student, but the teacher assistant for Mme. Bustier’s class.

Batfams Regrets - Chapter Four

Masterlist

Meanwhile, approximately 3,642 miles away, one very exasperated Bruce Wayne was having a conversation with one very jubilant Dick Grayson.

"Dick… could you please tell me what made you think choosing a class from Paris that you know nothing about was a good idea? We have a process regarding the whole thing. Something you didn't inquire about. There's a reason for these things."

Throughout his speech, Dick was looking more and more sheepish, thinking back on why he had chosen that particular class.

"Look Bruce, I'm sorry. I can take care of everything I skipped over but the Parisian class I chose really needs to be on this trip."

It wasn't a complete lie, but the reasons behind the why only concerned Dick and his entertainment. His interference was caused by nothing reasonable at all, but, thankfully, Bruce didn't ask.

"You've already given them the okay, the most you can do at this point is arrange everything with the teacher, as well as doing a standard background check. Since we already have the schedule and agenda set up, we only need the guides, but since you so graciously chose that class, it can be you."

Dick knew better than to argue, wisely keeping his mouth shut.

Dick was suddenly very, very glad that he had completed a background check, as it seemed that there were more than a few high profiled people in the mix, so they would need some protection, and if he was also playing matchmaker, then no one would have to know.
