Smol Damien Maribat Au

this is such a random idea but imagine: 11 year old Damien seeing 15 year old Marinette transform into Ladybug. Or detransform. This girl who took his moody ass preteen agnst with a smile and offered him cookies and fenced with him and was actually almost decent. This girl who, upon the class/school being kidnapped by X Rogue Gallery Villain (Probably the Riddler. Or Penguin. Someone low-key not going to murder her. but that’s not the point.) Sacrificing herself up to deal with whatever weird mind-games they had in store, giving Damien time to contact Bruce. This girl who then kicked ass and took names and reversed the damage but still checked on everybody else. 

Damien thinks about the Hero Rules his father has tried to instill in him. Thinks about Marinette. Ignores her frantic freaking out and trying to explain and just. Takes her hand. Takes her back to Wayne Manor. 

“We have a sister now.”

“holy shit its fucking GENETIC. BRUCE. BRUUUCE! THE DEMON SPAWN KIDNAPPED A GIRL!”

“he wHAT?!” 

And Bruce is like. Damien. Son. You can’t just kidnap girls, no matter how much you like them. Or how heroic you think they are. He’s sure her family, the family she’ll be going back to in a few weeks, the family in PARIS, will miss her. 

And somehow Damien weasels in visits? Back and forth? And Marinette coos over him bc he didn’t really spill her secret like she asked and she’s very grateful and Damien is adorable. She likes her new baby brother. 

Jason wonders what the hell kind of powers Mari has to reign in the Demon Spawn into something vaguely resembling a real human child. 

Tim is looking between Damien, Bruce, and Marinette, and wondering if it is, in fact, genetic. This is just kinda suspect. 

Dick is cackling like HELL YEAH NEW SISTER! BABY BRO AND BABY SIS HE’S SO READY! LETS BOND!

Alfred just sighs but takes it in stride. Mentally starts picking out Mari’s new room and costume. Though apparently she designs? Perhaps she’ll convince the family to have a costume revamp. (She absolutely does. Their costumes offend her delicate sensibilities.) 

Also Damien just shows up and commends Tom and Sabine on raising Mari and they’re? Confused? But okay. 

They have a son now. They feed him all the things. 

Damien also gets the Rooster Miraculous when he’s in Paris so he can run around with Ladybug. And kicks Chat in the shin. Often. That’s HIS sister, don’t flirt with his sister! This is completely unprofessional. Robin would make a much better Chat Noir. Replace him. 

Mari is just long suffering. Bundles up her baby brother and gives him lots of snuggles while he pouts and protests. He is a mighty assassin! He does not need sisterly affection! … Though science shows that hugs are proven to increase serotonin levels so he SUPPOSES she can continue. He needs all the good feelings he can in Paris. 

Chat wonders where the hell this little bundle of feathers came from and if his Lady will be mad if he tosses him off the side of the Eiffel Tower. 

Local Bookstores Have A New Weapon In The Fight With Amazon

In the book industry, Amazon is Goliath, the giant who overshadows everyone else. But there’s a new David on the scene, Bookshop.org.

It doesn’t expect to topple the giant, but it has launched a weapon that could make Amazon’s shadow a little smaller, and help local bookstores fight back.

Bookshop.org, a website that went live at the end of January and is still in beta mode, is designed to be an alternative to Amazon, and to generate income for independent bookstores. And, perhaps more importantly, it seeks to give book reviewers, bloggers and publications who rely on affiliate income from “Buy now” links to Amazon a different option.

Profit from books sold through Bookshop will be split three ways, with 10% of the sale price going into a pool that will be divided among participating bookstores, 10% going to the publication that triggered the sale by linking to Bookshop.org, and 10% going to Bookshop.org to support its operations.

T'challa: your life of crime is OVER, Carl, give it up. Even your gods can't help you now. Any last words as a free man?

Shuri: I'm busy go away

T'challa: no listen I told today's villain to speak his last words as a free man and he wasted it on "You were great on Cats" so is that some kind of new-age white people phrase or some-

I’m not saying I have an issue with Marinette being adopted by a DC character...

I’m just saying I think it would be a fun twist and perhaps healthier for all involved to see what would happen if she was the one doing the adopting.

____________________________

Marinette: Wait…you’re saying you died how many times now?

Dick: Just the once…twice? No wait…I think that was just before the retcon…do alternate realities count?

Marinette: (Eye twitching)

Dick: I’m fine! Really!

(Ten seconds later)

(Dick is now rolled up in a blanket burrito and having mother hen-Mari feeding him hot chocolate and pastries.)

Dick: …this is nice, actually…

Jason: So this is my mom now, apparently.

Marinette: Hi!

Roy: But…isn’t she younger than you?

Jason: She chased me down to the middle of a gang fight to make sure I had a coat and extra armor. She’s mom.

Tim: You did WHAT?

Marinette: I took your stash. All of them. You’re now on a coffee ban.

Tim: WHY?!

Marinette: Because you’ve been awake for 3 days straight and it’s not healthy!

Tim: You—you can’t just BAN me from coffee!

Marinette: WATCH ME.

Marinette: GO TO YOUR ROOM!

Damien: You’re not my mother! You can’t tell me what to do!

Marinette: (GLARE O DOOM)

(Ten seconds later)

Damien: (Now in his room, hiding in his bed) The League did not prepare me for this…

Bruce: (Fishing for another Wayne kid) How do you feel about adoption?

Marinette: It’s great! I have four sons now!

Bruce: …What?

(Five minutes later)

Bruce: (Now wearing a hand-made sweater) ….wait, what just happened?

Alfred: You now have family in Paris, sir. And they are expecting you to come for dinner this weekend.
