Chloe sipped her champagne as she looked around the Waynes' Gala. She spotted many people that were clients of her mother and some that promoted Gabriel. She noticed a few other designers, but the rest of the people…..well, they at least dressed the part. Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted a girl who she could have sworn was Marinette Dupain-Cheng. The girl had darker skin and green eyes, but her face, her eye shape!
Chloe sauntered over and shoved the champagne flute in front of her face.
"Go on." she demanded, "Get me another drink."
The girl looked her up and down.
"You still wear Gabriel?" she questioned, "Ew."
Chloe gasped, "He is an amazing designer!"
"He's an asshole." the girl retorted.
"You better shut your mouth, you Twerp!" Chloe bristled.
"Or what?" the girl commented, "You're gonna tell my mommy about your horrible fashion choices?"
"How dare you!" the Bourgeois heiress cried.
"No. How dare you show up to the Wayne Gala in something that is four seasons old!" the girl claimed.
"I am a Princess and-" Chloe began.
"No." the girl interrupted, "You are the daughter of a hotel owner, who didn't even wear clothes designed by her mother. You decided to wear trash."
Chloe was fuming. She had never been spoken to this way and the face of the girl wasn't helping.
'Her face is irritating! She looks just like Baker Girl when she started pushing back!'
"I am a princess and-" Chloe spoke again.
"I'm a princess." the girl declared, "Technically, after Great-Grandfather and Grandma passed way, Daddy became King. I'm a princess; you're playing dress up."
Chloe scowled, "You little-"
"Princess Amaya Wayne, lovely to see you again." a voice called out.
"King Ali of Achu." Amaya curtsied, focusing her attention on him.
Chloe closed her mouth and focused on the interaction in front of her.
'The Waynes have royalty in their blood and this….brat is actually a princess?'
"I'm very sorry, Ms. Bourgeois, but I must get going. My family will be summoning me soon." Amaya smiled, "King Ali, why don't you accompany me? I'm sure Father would love to discuss the next fundraiser for the children's hospital."
"Of course." the king answered.
The hotel owner fumed as they walked away. She lost sight of them in the crowd; Ali had never forgiven her for that fish-smell fiasco when they were younger. Chloe had to see for herself if the girl who humilated her was actually a Wayne. She followed them from a distance and tried to blend in with other girls nearby. She was too focused on Amaya to notice the judged looks thrown her way, as she tried to incorporate herself into their circle talks.
Sure enough, King Ali walked Amaya up to Bruce Wayne and someone else. Chloe couldn't make out who the guy was, but she heard the King of Achu refer to him as Damian. Amaya hugged Bruce and call him 'Grandfather', before he was asked to answer some questions for the Daily Planet.
'She's actually a Wayne!'
Bruce excused himself and the hotel owner was able to get a clearer view of the guy. He looked exactly like Bruce, but his complexion was similar to the kings' and he had green eyes.
"Why don't we continue this conversation tomorrow, Your Highness?" Damian spoke, "There are some things I want to go over without prying eyes or ears."
The King nodded and walked off.
"Have you seen your mother, Amaya?" Damian questioned.
"I believe she is with Uncle and people watching, as usual." she smiled, "She does love to look at everyone's outfits."
Out of the corner of her eye, Chloe spotted a familiar head of blonde hair. As Adrien walked out of the crown, Chloe scowled as she noticed his companion: Marinette Dupain-Cheng. Chloe dropped her glass as Marinette Dupain-Cheng walked over and kissed Damian Wayne.
"Mother." Amaya smiled, before hugging Marinette.
'Baker Girl; she married into the Wayne family! How did she manage to weasel her was into a family with royal blood?'
Chloe stomped and politely shoved her way through the crowd towards the stage. She couldn't believe that she saw that brat was hugging her Adrikins, after she disgraced the Gabriel name!
"You look lovely as always, Amaya." Adrien complimented, "You definetly get your beauty from your mother."
Amaya smiled, "Thank you, Uncle Adrien."
"Don't act high and mighty!" Chloe demanded, "You were just trash talking his father a few minutes ago!"
"Chloe." Marinette spoke.
"Baker Girl." the hotel owner sneered back.
Adrien and Damian were quick to push the girls behind them.
"So what?" Adrien asked, "Who cares if my niece talks shit about Gabriel?"
Chloe looked at him in shock, "But you-"
"Left his place and company when I was eighteen and I never looked back." Adrien declared, "I hated being a model and everything that came with it. The rules, the photoshoots, the diet, the loneliness, that stupid schedule pack dictating when I woke up, went to bed! I couldn't even hang out with my frineds!"
"But we're suppose to run an empire together!" Chloe shouted back.
"Is this some bullshit my father told you?" the former model questioned, "The last time I saw him was twelve years ago and the last time I spoke to him on the phone, was eight. I don't know what he told you, but I never wanted to own Gabriel. I can't draw to save my life; I never want to model again. I don't know what you would do, but it's certainly not draw."
"I can draw!" the hotel owner shouted.
Adrien smiled, "Really? Anytime there was a competition, you tried to steal Marinette's sketches and frame her. You have never put in any effort to practice drawing. I never even saw you take fashion classes. You just decided since your mommy was a fashion designer, you would be too. Audrey probably des more in a day, then you do in a week!"
Chloe could feel the promises she was fed start to crumble. Gabriel had told her that once Adrien was done with his vacation, they would run the company. Adrien was telling her that was never going to happen. She had been waiting for the da when she didn't need to watch over the hotle anymore. It was annoying having to serve others and make sure their needs were met. What about her needs? She wanted a trip to Cancun! She wanted to sail the Caribbean! She wanted to sleep past six am!
She snarled, "What about Baker Girl, huh? You seriously expect-"
Damian was quick to get in her face, "Call my wife that again and you'll be thrown out on the street."
"She is-" Chloe faltered
"My wife is a fashion designer." Damian stated proudly, "Number one in the country and number three internationally."
"Hah!" Chloe smiled, thinking she had caught them in a lie, "Zahr is-"
"My wife." Damian replied, wrapping his arm around Marinette's waist, "She makes all designs and has total control of her own design company. It's not even associated with Wayne Enterprise."
Amaya laughed "She's just sore that her gown is horrible."
"Amaya!" scolded Marinette.
"It's true." Amaya declared, "She tries to act big, but that spray painted gold just screams 'Look At Me; I Deserve Attention'!"
Adrien began to laugh since Chloe had been wearing the same color scheme since they were toddlers. Her attitude certainly hadn't changed. Damian just smirked at his daughter's decleration.
"And what is with that horrible blue eyeshadow?" the Wayne heiress continued, "No one wears eyeshadow that blue; it's outdated. It doesn't even match your dress or skin tone. If anything it makes you look a bloated fish. Why on Earth would you wear a nude lip shade of color? Even in the 50's, when they did use that shade, at least they had red lips."
Chloe's jaw dropped. Never had she imagined a child would tell her off for how she dressed. Out of the corner of her eye, she could see Marinette biting her lip and could see Adrien laughing himself to tears.
"Yep." Adrien cried, "Tha-That's definetly your kid, Damian."
Mari sighed, "Is Yami and Malik gonna be the same way?"
"You do love honesty, Habibiti." Damian pointed out.
His wife groaned, "I'm gonna get so many phone calls when the twins go to school."
Chloe scowled and began to stomp away. She couldn't believe that someone who was related to bakers talked to her like that. The trash that came out of that girl's mouth left her fuming!
"Good." Amaya called out, enough for Chloe to hear, "Grandma is leaving. My eyes were starting to hurt, just from looking at her. Thankfully, the galas are at night. If we had it during the day, we'd have a disco ball on the floor with all that metallic strips sewn in."
Chloe could hear the baker's daughter snort, before laughing along side her Adrien.
"Amaya, you know how much your grandfather cares about appearances at these." Damian stated, causing his daughter to sigh, "Grounded for a week."
"Yes, Baba." Amaya spoke, "I only did it to get back at her for being a bully to Maman, when she was my age."
Mari kissed her daughter's head, "As long as you're not like this at school."
"Never, Maman." their daughter answered.
"Come along, Amiriti (Princess)." Damian spoke, "Let's go find your grandfather."
Chloe looked back to see the baker's daughter on her husband's arm. Adrien and her bratty daughter were right behind them, talking and laughing. Chloe had never felt so humiliated before.
'Ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous!'
Nothing was like how it was before when they were all in Francois Dupont College. She was no longer the Mayor's Daughter. Her father had moved to NYC with her mother, after high school. She had taken over as the owner of the hotel. Chloe had tried to use the same control she had in school to dictate the hotel's conditions and staff, but it failed miserably. People started to leave bad reviews of the hotel; some of the staff quit. When her father had heard about it, he offered to come back for a few months to show her how to run it properly; she had hung up on him.
Chloe Bourgeois couldn't believe that promises she had overheard as a child were over. She was suppose to marry Adrien Agreste; he was her Adrikins!
'I never should have helped him runaway from home to get into school!'
Chloe knew that was the moment everything changed in their realtionship. Everyone had turned him against her! He started speaking up more, defending others from her, and calling her a bad friend. She had hoped that one he finished 'exploring' that his new habit would be broken and they would get married after university. She had never even looked at another guy so when she found out that he had quit modeling, she thought he was getting ready to take over the company and propose. The proposal never came and Adrien had left Paris, without a word.
'It was all Baker Girl's fault! She ruined my Adrikins! Her Adrikins never behaved like this 'til he met her!'
She continued to glare at Marinette. She hated how Marinette was now rich, even richer than her. Marinette always got what she never had; a loving home, parents who cared about her, and now a husband and family. Chloe refused to believe she was jealous.
'I deserve more! I deserve my happily ever after with My Prince!'
Chloe turned her gaze to Adrien and she felt her heart stop. Adrien was on his tip-toes, kissing some guy taller than him. To add insult to injury, he looked just like Marinette. He had dark hair and blue eyes. Adrien Agreste had always been her dream Prince Charming, but she wasn't his Princess. Apparently, Adrien Agreste was the princess.
Chloe walked away as she heard Amaya ask if Uncle Adrien and Uncle Jon were excited for their wedding next month.
The Bombshell Dupain-Cheng plot that shouldn't exist. But I have no chill, so...
Long post!
Marinette appears totally different in Paris, after 3 months gone and everyone is shocked.
We have seen all of this in the one-shot/prequel (HERE), so we’re understood so far.
But what happens to make this drastic change in Marinette's look?
Well, let's go back to when Fu makes Mari a guardian for good and loses the memories of the miraculous, in addition to finally meeting his love.
And here the canon dies. RIP
(Going to the current plot.)
Mari is losing her shit, having lost the only adult person who supported her in heroin life and who helped (poorly) in the most complicated situations.
So here it is: Marinette Dupain-Cheng, 13, collège student, part-time heroine, aspiring designer, class representative and now guardian of very powerful magical jewels.
AH! And a nanny. We can't forget that!
The poor girl doesn't have a minute's peace in this house.
She won't even talk about ugh, Lila, because at that moment the Italian was just a fly on the pile of garbage she had to deal with.
So, she turns to the only possible person in this situation, even though she is afraid of previous behavior.
Chat Noir. Yeee
And she's like, "chat, we need to talk." And he: “omg she will confess”
In the end Ladybug tears up Chat Noir and manages to make the hero understand her side, promising to help.
Marinette spends a few months testing the cat, to see if he slips, but to her relief (because she loved that kitty, even if she didn't say it) he remains steadfast.
They reveal the identities and awkward moment omg
Adrien may have screamed a little like a fan with his idol
Mari may have passed out.
(not that any of them will confess that)
They have a heart for a heart.
Mari no longer in love with Adrien and Adrien trying to overcome Ladybug at that point.
When hawkbeetch decides to attack harder, the two agree that they needed help permanently.
Alya was cut off as soon as the idea was put on the table.
The first ones chosen are Alix, Luka and Kagami
Over time Max and Kim also came back
There was uncertainty in choosing who had been chosen before, but magic was able to supply the uncertainties, since when transformed they were no longer the unmasked heroes
The situation with Lila and because of Alya, Nino is also cut.
So, Chloe makes a 160, apologizes to Marinette looking really sorry and wanting to change
Félix also returns to study at Dupont, after Adrien complains to him about Gabriel forcing Lila into the teenager
With that, the team closes on 9 permanent heroes, but that not all of them always appeared in the fights.
They manage to deal with akumas-hawkdude for a while, but when mayura appears more and more in fights things get worse
It was Max's idea to contact JL for help and so they get batfamily's attention
Batman sends Robin and Red Robin to help closely, while the rest were helping from Gotham
There were some disagreements between Ladybug and Robin, since the vigilante was very... annoying. Not to say worse, she had no patience to put up with the boy's arrogant ass.
As for Red Robin, everyone loved him.
(Max may have had some personal discoveries after meeting the guy)
Time passed, Robin became Reynard
And even with the help of the batboys, finding out who the mothman was became increasingly frustrating.
Everyone came to the conclusion that the magic was much greater in camouflage than they thought before
In that they reach half of the Lycée without any advantage over the villain
Alix and Chloe dating since 14
Marinette and Luka started dating when the girl turned 15, Damian joining the relationship a few months later after pining (of the three)
Félix and Kagami only started to see themselves as something more than friends after they turned 16
Kim and Max being the youngest to start dating, at 13
Adrien only met Jon after identities were shared between the team, he was 16 years old
The identities being shared were entirely accidental. All of them having used their powers and without time to hide from each other, the transformations fell
Finding out who the batfamily was, was easy after that.
Things continued at an impasse until Marinette found Diana Prince on one of the galas in Gotham.
And worlds were opened for the little guardian.
"Oh." The woman murmured; her eyes fixed on Marinette.
Bruce had introduced them both after Diana showed curiosity about the two people with Damian.
"Guardian."
Marinette released the woman's hand as if she had been shocked. Panic running through her veins. Damian and Luka stood up alert.
"What- No. My name is Marinette." She replied nervously.
Diana noticed the girl's behavior, as well as that of the other two boys, and relaxed her posture in a more friendly one.
“My apologies, Marinette. I didn't mean to scare you like that.” The woman took the girl's hand again in hers. A kind smile on her face. "I could feel the power in you since my mother was the former bearer of the goddess Tikki."
The three teenagers gasped in surprise.
"Rreally?" Marinette sighed; her eyes wide.
Diana laughed softly, finding the girl cute. "Yes." But the smile gave way to a confused expression. "But you shouldn't be surprised, since you're the guardian."
"Ah..." Marinette was suddenly shy. The eyes across the room, except for the woman. “I didn't get to finish my training. Master F- the former guardian was obliged to pass on his duty before training me.”
Diana's face contorted in regret before her eyes lit up with an idea. A wonderful one.
"Marinette, I believe I have the perfect solution for this."
And the girl felt her heart race with hope.
With that, Diana offered training to her and the other miraculous heroines in Themyscira and Mari accepted after talking to her friends.
Arthur Curry, at Diana's request, also appeared offering training for the boys and a plan was formed.
They just needed a little more luck... or money.
Bruce, managed to put Dupont as a priority on the Parisian government's reform list
And with more help, Zatanna agreed to stay in Paris to stop Hawkmoth from attacking.
I'm not going to explain this part much here because I'm writing a fanfiction about it. So let's go to some headcanons about this plot.
In this AU I will be working with the hypothesis that the miraculous have limitations, because the heroes have not yet matured. Whether in age or mentality. They are still "children".
That wielding jewelry has side effects like: slow aging. Too slow. Which ends up affecting teenagers, since most were children/pre-teens when they became heroes.
Kwamis are, in fact, the first gods in the world. They are the origin of the universe.
Each miraculous has a true owner in each generation.
Jewelry, kwami and suits can change forms according to the holder. For example: if Plagg wants to, he can take the form of a normal black cat.
In the case of jewelry, I had this idea because of the monkey's miraculous. It is impossible to use without drawing attention, so here the jewels can change shape at any time. If the holder wants to.
As soon as a true holder wields the jewel, when they are in their majority, the miraculous mark is "tattooed" on the person's skin. (Between the shoulder blades, being more specific). I did a shitty editing on my cell phone. HERE.
If a person who is not a rightful holder should use the miraculous, magic corrupts the person as a form of protection.
Alya, Nathalie, Gabriel and Emilie are examples of this.
There is only one exception to this rule: if the Guardian allows use.
Speaking of Guardian, here, they (Mari) have powers over the box and jewelry.
If I were to write a highly self-indulgent, multi-chapter, multi-POV Maribat fic would anyone be interested in reading it? It includes:
- lila salt
- British!Dupain!reader (Mari's cousin)
- Jason Todd x reader x Cassandra Cain love triangle
- Daminette
- Queer Adrien (and hints of future Jondrien)
- Lesbian!Chloé having a positive wlw role model
- Stephanie Brown x Tim Drake (bc they in love)
- Stephanie Brown vs Tim Drake (ship wars ftw)
- Barbara Gordon x Dick Grayson
- fake social media posts (with fancasts because I don't want to have a mix of animation styles and it's easier to find generic photos)
- Steph, Cassie and reader stealing the batmobile
Because if nobody cares then I'll just pretend I haven't written a bunch of pages and full backstory for it
I know im not the BEST artist but i decided to do a little drawing for each prompt.
Btw i will be hiding a ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) in all of my drawings so see if you can find them heheh.
Can you guess who the red speech bubble is?
@superchat-september2k20
~~~~~~
Adrien was having a bad day.
Actually, it's more of a bad month.
Not to mention that he was also so incredibly TIRED.
He's been doing a ton of late night photoshoots lately as well as eating less
Aka just really living up to that vampire esthetic
as there was a fashion show coming up and his father needed him to be as skinny as possible in order to fit into the tiny clothes.
That bitch.
Couldn't he just make the clothes bigger???
He's literally the designer.
Oh well.
Earlier that morning his father's slave
I mean Natalie
informed him that he was going to an interview later and that his father wanted him to look his best to represent the Gabriel brand.
Ya
Hard to do that when youre looking like a skeleton that hasnt slept in 45 years but okay.
Adrien was in his limo trying to get as much shut eye as he could while being driven over to the studio where the interview would take place when all of a sudden the ground shook.
All he could think about at the moment was 'Fudge you Hawky'
--------
Jon was taking in his surroundings with wonder.
He was with his mom in Paris in order to interview some big designers son or something like that later but right now he was enjoying exploring the city of love.
'Heh i wonder if I'll find my *true love* here'
He was about to go into this nice cozy bakery and try some of their amazing smelling pastries when all of a sudden the ground shook.
'I guess these treats will be a ground breaking discovery for me haha, no bad Jon! Time to focus on the possible danger.'
As he looked around for a place to change into his suit he noticed that everyone else wasn't really bothered with what was happening and either calmly went inside the builings to hide or just straight up didn't care and continued to do what they were doing .
He was gonna ask short asian woman at the counter what was happening when he saw some bright yellows beams of light coming from the Eiffle tower.
'Action now, questions later i guess' he thought in his head.
Jon asked to use the bathroom, changed, and headed over to the tower.
'What the heck is going on??'
-------
Chat Noir was falling.
In his defense he wasnt exactly at his 100% at the moment and this is all his father's fault.
He was fighting off the akuma and trying to avoid getting hit by their lasers on like 2 hours of sleep.
Not falling off the eiffle tower wasn't one of his priorities at the moment but it seems like that was a mistake.
As he was falling he heard Ladybug yell but all he could focus on was his empty stomache and the sound of it growling
And his screams of terror since he was falling of the fucking eiffle tower of course.
'Maybe it's about time for me to sue my father for child neglect.
I wouldn't even need any proof.
The authorities would just take one look at me and they would understand.
Of course, that's if i dont go splat on the pavement right about now.'
As Chat noir was preparing to finally get some sleep in the form of being dead he landed on something.
Well, it wasn't the pavement considering that it wasnt cold and painful.
Oh poo
He was looking forward to finding out what sound he would make when he hit the ground.
'Would it be more of a splat or more of a crunch?'
Welp, it looks like he hit the sleep deprieved random thoughts stage.
Chat opened his eyes only to be welcomed with the sight of eyes bluer than anything he has ever seen before.
Even bluer that that one cookie monster balloon that he had when he was like 6 that his father popped because he claimed that our family was above playing with rubbery bags of air.
When his savior smiled
Oh gosh his adorable smile that just made his stomache do flips,
That's when Adrien decided that maybe today wasn't going to be too bad after all.
So, me and @ladysblackcat have been discussing the topic of this more thoroughly and we finally came to a conclusion! Daminette December for next year is still going to be like normal, for a month, fyi.
We needed as many people as possible to reblog this. spread the word. Make this happen. Make it big!
@maribat-2k20 < official Tumblr account
So each month there will be a special week for each ship stated on the list!!
If u guys have any problems with this, don't be shy to message me and we'll try and resolve it as positively as possible.
So, we're in the works of making a calendar and stuff and would really appreciate if u guys have any suggestions for prompts!!
CHECK NOTES FOR MORE INFO, I've reblogged this, like 2 times now cuz I keep forgetting to put in more info, oops sorry
Anyways tagging these acc's based on who I remember off of memory. So sorry! if I forgot anyone. I'm tagging these off of memory. Also so sorry! for bothering the ones that I tagged. Really truly sorry 😟.
Hi yes, I KNOW this isn’t one of my OTHER projects, but this song gives me major Damian and Adrien vibes. I like to think Adrien and Damian could bond over shitty parents, Damian about his mom, and Adrien about his dad. Managed to get this typed up between breaks on ALiG; chapter 6 is making steady progress finally lol This would be a Daminette/Jondrien fic, with Damian and Adrien Bros.
It won’t let me post the whole song on tumblr for some reason?? So here’s a proper link.
More below the cut about the particular AU this spawned, as well as the lyrics.
(also this whole album/band kicks ass, I highly recommend)
((ALSO ALSO this is actually a Brucelie -BruceXEmilie-fic too))
tw for casual weed smoking mention I guess? and abuse themes definitely
I am your son, you are my mother
I'm on my own, you're not my lover
Don't tell me how to live
I am your son, you are my father
You led us like lambs on our way to the slaughter
Who do you think you are?
One, two, three
I know you lied to me
I can see
Now that I'm free
It's me and the black roses X6
I am your son, she's not my mother
You think she's perfect, to me, just another
Do you think it's okay?
But I am your son, for worse or for better
Despite the fact that you a homewrecker
I guess that's who you are
One, two, three
I know you lied to me
I can see
Now that I'm free
It's me and the black roses X18
SO the idea here is this.
Obviously the parts in the beginning about the mother are from Damian’s point of view, and about the oppression he dealt with while in her care. Talia for those who aren’t as into DC is just, WOW levels of awful. She’s controlling, and very much trying to map out all of Damian’s life; and when Damian’s young, he’s fine with this. It’s kind of a classic case of ‘mother knows best’, but at its absolute worst. This starts to change once Damian goes to stay with his father in canon of course. Age Range for Damian: 10 to 12 or so?
The next three lines of lyrics are more from Adrien’s/Chat’s perspective; the ‘lambs led to slaughter’ are Adrien and the rest of the Miraculous team, and it really is about how angry Adrien is at his father for what’s he’s done to his family, and his friends. I imagine in the background during this part Adrien realizing his father is Hawkmoth during the final altercation; Gabriel will try to Akumatize him, and before Ladybug can step in, Chat cataclysms the butterfly, and just starts. BEATING THE HELL OUT OF HIS FATHER. They’re like 18 at this point, and his transformation wears off as he goes to take the Miraculous, and once it does, Gabriel kicks him off. The fight gets ugly, but Ladybug had managed to before this fight, fix the peafowl miraculous. And when she heals Emilie while Chat’s fighting, the woman wakes up in time to see her son go flying. She beats his ass with the assistance of Ladybug. It’s gonna get sappy after that. Ages for this Adrien/Mari: 18; they’ll leave paris 4 years later, to Gotham.
Following that, the next four lines I generally see being from both boys; Damian, once he’s embraced living with his father and brothers, and becoming Robin, reflecting on how his mother was wrong; and Adrien, once his father is in prison and he moves to the states with Marinette, Chloe, and his mother and begins to find peace without the overbearing nature of his father. Maybe there will also be some true Felix and Adrien bonding?? Amelie will definitely show up cause like, holy shit, hr sister is back???! Once again, here’s ages: Mari/Adrien: 22, Damian: 23, Jon: 21
The ‘Black Roses’, for me, can be interpreted in a couple different ways. One, both boys hail from wealth; Adrien as a model, and Damian as both an Al Ghul, and the Wayne heir. Canonically, we know Bruce cultivates roses, and I’d imagine they’re grown in grief; much the same for Adrien, as his father didn’t much care for any flowers until his mother ‘died’. Two, it could just symbolize both boys breaking away from, and grieving, what they never really had; albeit, a bit angrily given the tone of the song.
And following the first chorus, we dive a little into how Damian feels about Selina, initially. He doesn’t trust her, doesn’t want her around his family, and certainly not around his father, who is, disturbingly, the more stable parent (we all know how fucked up Brucie really is, poor man) the boy’s had. And he maybe resents Bruce a little bit, cause like, why couldn’t he have loved Talia? Why this woman? When Selina and Bruce break up, he’s even more angry because he’d been starting to like Selina and seeing them both hurting is annoying for him. It does pass of course, like things usually do. He’s shocked when Bruce introduces Emilie. It’s hard not to like her though. Selina and Bruce break up when he’s 15, and he meets Emilie when he’s 23.
The next Few lines are once again more Adrien focused, his own reflecting on how he’s his father’s son. By this point in the lyrics, he’s met Jon, and he’s terrified of hurting him how his father hurt Emilie; he doesn’t want to be anything like Gabriel, but the media has done a bit of a number on him the last few years. This is where he and Damian also start to find they have a bit more in common than they thought.
I like to imagine the last bit of the song is these 2 blessed boys bonding over trauma slowly but surely, feat. Adrien teasing Damian over Mari (because she’s literally everyone’s crush!!), and Damian hissing half threats back to tell Jon about the hearts in Adrien’s notebook. With a guest appearance from!! Overprotective Bros Damian and Adrien with a Visiting Nino, who’s really just happy to have a Third Bro, and So Stoked to be Here. Chloe and Marinette are wondering where they went wrong. Damian teaches Adrien how to deal with trauma in a Better Way, and Adrien teaches Damian how to Be Silly.
(Three Older Robins are S C A R E D )
AND THIS ISN’T EVEN THE PROPER OUTLINE.
Ages by the end are all about 23 or so, one moment, math time....
Ok, yeah, 23 or so. As fun as it is writing teenagers again, I love writing them as adults because it opens up the door for deeper character introspection, and i am A SLUT for that shit! Plus that means Jason and Tim can smoke weed and no one can tell me otherwise. OOH AND I’M SO EXCITED FOR EMILIE AND ALFRED BONDING!!! THEY’RE BOTH PEACOCKS! I do NOT need another story to write but wow this idea is really growing on me I tell you what.
And this doesn’t even hardly TOUCH on what Marinette and the girls have been up to in the background because holy shit. A team made of Mari, Chloe, and Emilie with Alya as back up when she shows up, plus Amelie; add in the Wayne girls and it’s CHAOS.
And Bruce, well.
He can’t remember a time when the manor was so lively; and he surprisingly wouldn’t trade it for anything.
I might put together a proper outline at some point but who knows lol It’s taken me ages to get the will to type this out; I’ve had this in my head since like October of 2019 I think?? so a few months
also I totally blame the inclusion of Brucilie on @kandoesfanfics-writes or littlekittykanny over on Ao3; I’ve absolutely fallen in love with the way they write Bruce and Emilie and it found its way in there! Thank you for introducing me to this beautiful ship!! <3
see you guys soon hopefully! <3
small tag list cause I think you guys might like this idea :3
