AO3 Link! Marinette Dupain-Cheng had a grand falling out with Adrien. He had learned the truth, that his father was Hawk Moth and his girlfriend had kept this secret.
Chrysalis was dead, but Marinette’s life was spiraling out of despair. Her Maman let her leave with her Uncle Wang, but not to Shanghai.
Hey, there is another restaurant opening in Gotham, and Uncle Wang needed a helper.
So here comes Marinette Dupain-Cheng.
Goodbye, City of Love, and welcome, Capital City of Crime.

Damian Wayne does not get “dumped”; he undergoes strategic personnel restructuring.
However, given the Wayne Gala is close and his brothers plan to make fun of his being alone, Damian needs a plan of action: a pretend girlfriend. The target? His best friend, Maps Mizoguchi.
Approaching the raven-haired under the Narra tree, he gives the order for a romantic alliance.
But when the girl turns around, it’s not Maps. It’s a confused French transfer student holding a croissant.
A lesser man would apologize for the mistake. Damian Wayne? He doubles down.
She has the right hair. She is breathing. She is a variable he can control.
“You,” he decides, refusing to admit error. “You are an acceptable substitute. Don’t be late.”
