Maribat Ships and My Vibe Explanations

These are based on the most popular tropes and scenarios I've seen particularly for a specific ship, but some are my own vision:) Moodboards I made for each ship, which are partially inspired by the below thoughts, are linked in the ship name.

Brucinette:

Boss x Secretary trope or Socialite meets Other Socialite and Both Discover each other is Less Shallow than they Thought

Alternatively,

Hero x Villain Love story.

Look, we all know Bruce has a bad track record with his Rogues and also Love in general

Black Cat Mari is the most popular, probably, but I think we should see more Villain/ Morally Grey Mari with other Miraculi

Not my favourite ship but it can be fun

Particularly when we add Dad Bruce and Mari gets to adopt the Batkids and be a Cool MomTM.

Dickinette:

Often a Villain x Hero romance, usually Black Cat Marinette and Nightwing.

A good trope to be sure, but I think we should spice it up more.

Vampire Dick Truthers (you know who you are) have a point with their Vampire Dick and Mari fics. Why not make Dick the villain in Mari's Rogue Gallery???

Overall a great trope, especially if you really delve into their characters: both are 'sunshine' characters who fight everyday to be the nice, kind heroes everyone thinks they are and expects them to be, even though it's the hardest route to take.

Jasonette:

(I'm biased as it's my #1 Maribat ship, but I'll try not to go on too long >.<)

Villain x Hero? Hero x Hero? Amazing, outstanding. What about Villain x Villain? I myself would love to see more Rogue Jason and Rogue Mari fics.

Any AU is amazing. I admit to having a fondness for Mob Boss Jason, partly because he is one in canon, at least for a while, and because I'm addicted to dark/mafia romance novels. Lieutenant Mari? Yes, please. Rival Mob Boss Mari? Heck yeah! Bat-affiliate Mari? Gimme. Please.

The amount of character exploration you could do if you wrote a romance where they actually stayed together, looking at you, DC is intriguing. Would Jason change for someone he loved? Would he give up crime lording? Would Mari accept him anyways but then they'd have to deal with one half running from the law/vigilantes and the other half being on the vigilantes' side?

Also, soft Jason. Nerding out over books and music and fashion and appreciating the fine things in life and meeting this cute fashion designer with a penchant to listen to Jagged Stone-

So many AU opportunities!! Bakery AU! Mafia AU! Coffee Shop AU! Meetcute at the Museum AU!...

Okay I'll move on now:(

Timari:

LISTEN

This ship IS THE DEFINITION OF THE CEO X SECRETARY TROPE!

I need more, I don't care if it's overused

Also, rival hackers or geniuses.

OR COFFEE SHOP AU

They're both coffee monsters, it's perfect

No I don't care that there are two dozen coffee shop Timari AUs, give me more.

Daminette:

ACADEMIC RIVALS TO LOVERS

Or just rivals to lovers is fine too

YOU REALLY THINK THESE TWO 'MUST BE THE TOP IN CLASS' WOULDN'T BE FIGHTING OVER GRADES AND THEN PAIRED UP ON AN ASSIGNMENT BECAUSE THEY'RE TOO INTENSE TO WORK WITH ANYONE ELSE AND THEN THEY HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER AT ALL TIMES LEST THE OTHER SABOTAGE THEIR PROJECT AND THEN THEY FALL IN LOVE-

anyways

I'm not even into HP but I want a Hogwarts AU with these two-

or any dark academia rivals to lovers au

Roynette:

Enemies or Rivals to Lovers

It's just a simple misunderstanding, as all large rifts start off with.

There's a translation issue or an eavesdropping that is taken out of context

(they're both idiots your honour)

But then something happens and they have to work together or they're made to talk and they realize it's all just a misunderstanding

And then they're like... " while we're clearing the air...so uh, I kinda have a crush on you'

"no way, me too!!"

And Mari meets Lian (or maybe that's what starts this, Jason and Mari are hanging out babysitting Lian and Roy comes to pick Lian up and they start talking and and and-)

And Mari loves Lian immediately of course, who wouldn't?

And so Roy likes her more because she likes Lian so automatically she's not as bad as he thought, and Lian really likes her too

And then they fall in love and Jason and Lian are the master matchmakers behind the scenes

You can pry OTP Jason & Lian setting up Roynette out of my cold dead hands

Konette:

I haven't seen or read a ton of Konette, but they usually meet at the Titans

Friends to Lovers 100%

They're both quiet and new and feeling out the dynamics

so they're often pushed together on purpose or by accident because the others are just so loud and chaotic

And then they become BFFs and are less inclined to join the others' chaos and so spend more time together, and so the cycle continues

And then one day something happens

Kon is Kryptonian and Mari had the Miraculous, they're usually the least-damaged members, but something happens, there's Kryptonite or magic or Something and one or both gets hurt.

The other jumps in front of them to take the blow because they can't let the other get hurt

"Why did you do that?!"

"I couldn't let you get hurt. You need to save our teammates."

Then the hurt one faints or passes out and the other confesses and thinks they can't hear them

They get back to the Tower safely and get treated and wake up and then they see the other

"Did you say you loved me, when I was passed out?"

"You heard that? Uh...yeah, I love you."

"I love you too!"

I haven't read much of any of the other ships to get a good feel on them, so I'm stopping here:)

Tag Team Tournament 2022

Are you ready to tag into Maribat?

This summer, from July 31 – August 6th, the Maribat Discord Server will be hosting our first ever Tag Team Tournament event!

Eight teams will be competing to post as much new content as possible during the event: all to find out which ship is truly the most popular in our fun little corner of the fandom!

Our teams this summer, in no particular order:

Spandex Flex - Dickinette Book Design - Jasonette Art Couple - Daminette Java Junkies - Timari Lucky Shot - Roynette Sunshine Children - Marijon 3's Company - Poly Ships Rare Flair - Any Ship Without a Team

Who's on the teams? Well, anyone who wants to be! And since this is the Tag Team Tournament, creators can tag in and tag out of teams as they please, creating as much or as little as they’d like to support each ship — multishippers rejoice! We'll be releasing logos for each team as we get closer to the event, so keep an eye out in the weeks to come!

How do you participate? Our full Event Guide Document explains everything you need to know, including the rules, submission guidelines, scoring guidelines, and more! You’ll also find the submission form — only content submitted through this form will be scored for your team, so make sure you read the whole document and fill it out.

If you're posting on AO3, we have an Event Collection for your fics. If you're posting on Tumblr, make sure to tag your creation with #TTT2022 so we can see it and reblog it here!

If you’d like to keep an eye on the scores for each team (and maybe tag into a team to help bump them up), our Event Guide Document offers a publicly accessible tracker, complete with live-updating team totals!

In the mean time, we hope you'll join us in the Maribat Discord Server as we prepare for the event!

Welcome to the Timari Servers first Live Event

Shutterbug Station

There are two teams, Angst v. Fluff, and only you all can decide who shall be the true victor.

On each day a prompt will be revealed that corresponds with either Angst or Fluff depending on the day. Your goal is to create something that fulfills the prompt!

Trauma Train Tuesdays are dedicated to Angst prompts while Fluff Freight Fridays are for Fluff with some bonus prompts sprinkled in!

We’re aware full calendars can be daunting and too much for people so this gives people a chance at a break while also keeping them on their feet when the day arrives for their prompt to be revealed and gives them time to complete their prompts.

Choose which team you wish to support (you are allowed to join both), make content for them, and post! If you post it on the day their prompt is revealed, you’ll get an additional 5 points.

Guidelines:

• You do not have to sign up to join

• To be counted, all works must be submitted with links in the provided form X

• You do not need to be in the server to participate! Just tag correctly, add fics to the ao3 collection, and be sure to submit the link in the form for it to be counted

• While we are a Timari Server and would love more Timari content, we are aware of the constraints of that and absolutely support other pairing submissions

• Any creative works are accepted

• Label your works correctly

• Follow the prompts, but each person is given 10 free cards (10 things can be submitted that do not use the prompts)

• You can join at any time!

Rules, Guidelines, and Scoring can be found here (X)

Ao3 Collection can be found here (X)

Live Tracker can be found here (X)

Submission Form can be found here (X)

Server Link can be found here (X)

Songfic ideas (Updated 11/4/2023)

May be miraculous, Batman, or maribat NSFW and potential NSFW under the cut Note: I definitely have others, but it's midnight and I'll have to continue building the list later.

A-Team by Ed Sheeran - Adrien, Marinette, Tim, or Jason

She Used To Be Mine from Waitress The Musical - Marinette

Fashion is my Kryptonite from Shake it Up! - MariDamiJon (link to expanded idea)

If I'm Being Honest by Anna Clendening - Marinette or one of the Batboys

Come On Out from Zombies 3 - crackfic on the stupidest way Adrien outed himself: singing the song

Good Girls by 5SOS - Marinette or Kagami

Strip by Little Mix - Take your pick, but my thoughts would be it probably involves at least Alya and Marinette, maybe Kagami and/or Chloe and/or Juleka and/or Mylene... Literally, any of the girls in Miraculous would fit this.

This is My Idea from The Swan Princess - Daminette (link to original idea post)

Animal I Have Become by Three Days Grace - Jason Todd post-pit or Tim Drake post-JJ arc

Turning Page by Sleeping At Last - Could be anyone, but as I'm writing this, makes me think either Felix or Adrien (or Kagami, if that's your preference), just because of the last line (if you subscribe to SentiTheory)

Humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa from High School Musical 2 - Why Plagg Sunk Atlantis (link to expanded idea)

Insane by Black Gryph0n - Marinette as akuma, Marinette post-pit revival, Jason post-pit revival

Light My Candle from Rent - Amnesiac post-guardian pit-revived Marinette with Jason (link to expanded idea)

I Wanna Be Your Slave by Måneskin - Jasonette or Felinette, though Adrinette could probably work, too. Other ships, even. But those would be my initial thoughts.

Fuck Away the Pain by Divide the Day - Jasonette or Felinette

Porn Star Dancing by My Darkest Days, Ludacris, and Zakk Wylde (this version) - I don't actually have a specific idea for this, I just think it would be a fun fic.

God is a Woman by Ariana Grande - original thought is Jasonette, but it could really Timinette/Timari or Dickinette, too. (link to expanded idea)

Ok but what if Marinette is Tim's half-sibling? And Tim did not know she existed until she showed up as a hero, working closely with his team.

Like as if Jack Drake would not cheat and maybe he was on a business trip to Paris and Janet was pregnant and staying in Gotham and Jack, feeling lonely, hitched up with this young woman.

He meant for it to be a one-time thing but nearly a year later, there was a letter for him from a Sabine Cheng, telling him that he might just have a daughter in another continent. That brought his past dalliance in Paris to mind but seeing as it was a daughter and she was an ocean away, Jack wrote a short reply telling them that he wanted no relationship with them.

Janet, having been suspicious of her husband's reaction as well as the letter from a stranger, snooped around and found out just before he could burn the letter. It drove a wedge between them - one that they tried to fix by spending time with their little boy but failed miserably after a night-out at Haly's Circus.

Jack never wanted to acknowledge the daughter he supposedly had and Janet died before she could tell Tim about his father's mistake and the half-sister who was an ocean away.

Tim only found out on a mission together with the team of heroes from Paris when Ladybug was down and in need of a blood transfusion.

#maribat #yeah tiny timmy snatched a sample and analyzed it since he was very interested in how magic works for the parisian team #surprise surprise tiny timmy has a sister #surprisingly while tim has a massive pile of daddy issues marinette does not #thats because tom is a good dad #timinette #timari #shutterbug #man i nearly tagged shutterbug as shitterbug shutterjug and shitterbig #*scandalized gasps*

Tag Team Tournament - Most Valuable Players

We had a lot of players and submissions, and of course every submission made a difference in the scores, down to the very last point, but some of you made some pretty big impacts for the teams, and we want to acknowledge that! Our team MVPs are the players who earned the most points for each specific team.

Spandex Flex MVP - @boldlyanxious Art Couple MVP - @ktreereads Book Design MVP - @serenescribbles Java Junkies MVP - @the-coffee-fandom Lucky Shot MVP - @mochegato Sunshine Children MVP - @ive-tumbled-down-a-rabbit-hole Rare Flair MVP - @boldlyanxious 3's Company MVP - @ive-tumbled-down-a-rabbit-hole

Now, a lot of you chose one team to support and stuck with them, but we had several players who really took advantage of our Tag Team system. There were even two players who each tagged in to six of our eight teams this week!

Nice work @boldlyanxious and @ive-tumbled-down-a-rabbit-hole, your shipping diversity was a breath of fresh air!

We've got more awards to give out yet, but this post is getting long, so stay tuned!

Family/Friends

Marinette was tired! She had been up all night doing commissions, homework, and working on the Hawkmoth problem. She needed coffee, and she needed it now. Curse Tim for infecting her with his insomniac lifestyle. She could hear the jerk laughing at her from an ocean away. As she sipped at the concoction she called, “Resurrection” and she could actually see clearly she realized that the laughing was not in her head, nor was it an ocean away, it was a few feet away from her laying casually on her couch.

She stared at her brother while still sipping her coffee waiting for her brain to log back on.

“Going to offer me any?”

He finally asked with a smirk. The cheeky ahole.

“No.”

She said blankly.

“Please Bean?”

She placed a finger to her chin and pretended to consider before repeating,

“No.”

He rolled his eyes and stood up taking quick steps to reach and hug her. She rolled her eyes and held the coffee over her head.

“I’m not letting you steal it either!”

He grumbled and pulled away.

“Now, where are the others and why are you here. I have to be somewhere soon.”

“We can’t just visit our baby sister.”

She raised an unamused brow making him sigh and roll his eyes.

“Fine, B took away the WiFi and Babs helped so I can’t hack it. So….”

“So, you thought you could mooch off mine? In Paris?”

“Well, since we understand the importance of finishing work I thought you’d understand?”

She paused and blinked at him, taking a slow sip of her coffee before sighing.

“Yea fine, just as long as you don’t do anything stupid and keep your emotions in check.”

“Thanks Bean.”

He said going in for another hug, and she quickly— it was graceful, she did not trip or stumble— ducked away.

“Nope, I know your tricks.”

She said as she hugged her mug to her chest and glared at the pouting man before he trudged back to the couch and laptop.

“Do the others know you're here?”

She asked as she finished off her mug and rinsed it in the sink.

“They shouldn’t.”

Marinette hummed and went upstairs to get ready for her group hangout.

_________

Marinette laughed at the joke Nino made. She felt so happy being surrounded by her friends, that was until she spotted someone. Quickly she excused herself and calmly and walked up to the man.

“Whatcha doin’ here Dicky?”

Marinette asked innocently.

“Oh you know, seeing the attractions, eating the food, looking for a sleep deprived Tim.”

“Tim?”

She asked, “confused”.

“What’s he doing here?”

“Bruce cut off his internet and I assumed he would come to you.”

Dick asked scanning we face for anything. But she had been trained by Tim, Jason, and Damian to hide all traces of anything from both her dad and brother. She learned the puppy eyes from Dick though, and they were very effective.

“I haven’t seen him. Maybe he was just smart and went somewhere else.”

“Hmm, I guess that could be true. Well, let’s go meet your friends.”

“Wait what, no-“

It was too late, he was already moving towards them and she knew this was her punishment for lying to her brother.

“Hey Marinette’s friends!”

Marinette rushed towards them and looked around anxiously as a few of her friend’s mouths dropped and some just glanced at him not knowing who he was.

“Oh my gosh, y-you’re-“

Alya turned to look at Marinette with wide eyes.

“You didn’t tell me you knew the Wayne’s!”

“W-well…I- th-they commissioned me! I didn’t expect them to come all this way though. See his fitting wasn’t for another few hours.”

Marinette covered. No one knew about who her real family was except her host family who let her take their name so she could go to school in peace.

“Yea, guess I just got excited. Me and my family are just huge fans of your work.”

Marinette subtly rolled her eyes but brought a blush to her cheeks so she didn’t seem suspicious.

“Oh-well, thank you. I-um…thanks.”

Her friends snickered and she shot them a non-threatening glare. How was she supposed to warn Tim without Dick noticing? He was obviously going to come to the bakery now.

_________

It was late at night when she saw a shadow move on the building she was on. She had just finished her patrol route and her team would be meeting her for reports soon.

“Dad, Robin.”

She greeted without looking back at them.

“Tt.”

“Ladybug.”

As she opened her mouth she heard the sound of her teammates coming to the roof.

“Hey LB, how are-holy….i-it’s Batman!”

Chat whispered in awe. Immediately after his statement Ryuko, Honey Bee, Rena Rouge, Carapace, and Viperion landed on the roof. Only Chloe Kagami, and Luka were able to hide their shock and awe, one with indifference, another with stoicism, and the last being his normal serine self.

Ladybug sighed and rubbed her forehead in exhaustion. It’s a family reunion she guessed, all she needed now was Red Hood and the girls. Then again the girls were the only tolerable ones, besides Alfred. It was going to be a long week at least.

“Guys, this is my dad, Batman and brother Robin.”

“DAD AND BROTHER?!”

Everyone, excluding Luka and Ryuko, basically shouted.

“Yes, and they were just leaving.”

She almost growled as she glared at her family.

“No we aren’t. We are here to-“

“As the older sibling, and as this is my terf, I get the last say.”

Damian glared back at her and opened his mouth but closed it when Batman placed a hand on his shoulder. His frown deepened and he refused to look at her as she smirked in victory.

“We’ll talk later then.”

“I guess we will.”

“Wait!”

Rena shouted getting out of her styler and pranced towards him like an overly eager fox.

“Could I get a picture with you, or maybe even an interview? I won’t show anybody, but it would be so amazing!”

Her eyes were basically glowing as she asked. Marinette glared at him and nodded. If he did something stupid like this he deserved the punishment of her over eager friend and inner fan girl. He sighed and stoically stood beside her.

“Wait, everyone needs to be in it!”

She said pulling everyone and arranging them into place. She tried to touch Robin, but quickly thought better of it as he grabbed the hilt of his sword. Ladybug had to hold back her snort. It took about ten minutes, but they finally got the picture and her father and little brother finally left.

Reports went by quickly after that, but seemed tedious after the event that had just transpired. Quickly she swung home and face planted onto her bed. She could feel eyes on her and looked up to see her dad staring fondly at her. She rolled her eyes before face planting back into her pillow with her middle finger raised in his direction. She was too tired to put up with anything right now.

~~~~~~~~~

Never thought this would happen, but I have a tag list now, which is really cool. If anyone wants to be part of it please comment and tell me. ThNk you for all the support! @trippingovermyfeet @liquid-luck-00

Cryptid Hunting

Meet Cute Monday 30 (on a Tuesday)

Timari January Prompt: Proposal

I had half another idea written when I got inspired by some Tumblr posts (linked at bottom due to 'spoilers'). Stupid evil brain going off on tangents and this was created instead. I may one day finish the other one… maybe…

Also sorry this is late, last week was busy with work and courses as well as feeling blurgh so sleep became priority.

NW: swearing due to Jason

Masterlist

MCM Masterlist

…………………………………………

The batfam stared at Tim.

Tim stared back at them.

Everything they needed to know about his proposal was in the briefing packs in front of them. He'd presented his findings with well thought out arguments and with thoroughly researched evidence in a PowerPoint. His proposal was completely sound and should be compelling. But they were just staring at him.

The awkward glances amongst them were starting to annoy him as well.

"Baby bird, don't take this the wrong way," as soon as that statement left Dicks mouth, Tim knew he was going to take it the wrong way just to spite his eldest brother, "when was the last time you slept."

Yup, Tim knew he was right, he was definitely taking that statement the wrong way. Dick yet again wasn't believing him and thinking he's lost it. It was getting repetitively frustrating with the lack of trust in his analysis and blaming everything on his state of mind. He narrowed his eyes and his adoptive father's son.

"What's that got anything to do with this? You've seen the photos. It's something that we really need to investigate. That isn't photoshop."

"Quality is pretty shit Pretender."

"That WHY we need to look into this more!!! The sightings are focused around a set area. We NEED to add a loop to a patrol route to investigate. It's in your claimed territory Jason. Haven't you heard anything about it?"

"Baby bird, please… when did you last rest?"

"Shut it Goldie, Timber is right that there have been whispers near the narrows but there's always whispers. 'Mothman' hasn't done anything to anyone…"

"Yet! Jason Mothman exists. He's HERE in Gotham and he hasn't hurt anyone YET! I've given you all the evidence!! If we got a proper photo and better yet, caught him. We'd have proof!!"

Duke cautiously raised his hand, eyes darting between the trio, unsure of what was actually happening.

"Uhhh are we actually saying that we have the start of evidence that a cryptic actually exists?"

"Yes!!"

Tim exclaims, exasperatedly. Finally someone was getting the point. Duke got it, potentially, he was still having a bemused look upon his face but he was taking the information in correctly.

"All right, why the heck not. I'm in Timbo. But I'm not going hunting mythical beasts when you look more zombie than me. You nap! Then we plan and get our hunting fame on!"

In the background Cass and Duke nodded in agreement to the proposal.

"What?! Guys!! You can't be serious. Tim, baby bird, nap but you don't need to do this."

"Whatever Goldie. I'm gonna win this week's best sibling award so screw you."

Jason dug in his pockets and pulled out his Red Good stylised stickers and gentle(ish) gave one to Duke and Cass before placing one on Tim's forehead.

Tim yet again narrowed his eyes and twisted his mouth in distaste at his other elder sibling removing the sticker from his forehead before he pouted at him.

"Really Jay!"

"Yup, I'm an arsehole, remember. Just a nicer one who gives out stickers than Goldie."

"Hey!! Wait!! That's cheating Little Wing! That's bribery. You can't win with stickers."

Tim nodded to Jason, Cass and Duke packing his presentation away. He had his team, even if they wanted him to nap. He ignored the squabbling of his eldest notional siblings and slipped away. His proposal was a success.

…………..

Red Robin had set up sensors and cameras around the area. Signal was in position on the next roof along, Black Bat a few blocks away and Red Hood was patrolling the area and speaking to his shadow contacts in case they knew anything to help them.

He was monitoring the situation when he heard Red Hood start swearing through the Comms.

"Arghfff! Holy Guns and Shits!! Hey Replacement, you were fucking right!! Definitely not crazy. Get to my location ASAP! I'm on the border of your mapped section. Tracking Mothman now!"

"Told you my proposal was serious!"

"Whatever little Red. Just get your ass here like 5 minutes ago."

Red Robin sighed exasperatedly before quickly tiding the equipment away and grabbing his camera. There was no way he was going to miss this. With a quick final check of the rooftop he shot out his grapple and headed in Red Hood direction.

Signal, Black Bat were with Red Hood by the time Red Robin arrived. They were all transfixed on the roof adjacent to them. Red Robin slowly and silently crept up to them, his camera in hand itching to take photos.

Across from them with bioluminescence spots and glowing red eyes was the original Mothman. It was hauntingly beautiful as the iridescent wings fluttered in the evening light. The creature seemed to be dancing across the roof in flowy steps and billowing wings. Giving into temptation, Red Robin snapped photos like he used when stalking his heros of the past. This really wasn't what he expected when he proposed going hunting for Mothman in Gotham.

"So, ummm, What's the next step in the plan now Red? We got photo proof that you ain't mad and Mothman is real?"

Red Robin blinked at Signal as yes, he knew that his evidence was real, it was just he hadn't planned the next steps properly. Normally with this sort of thing, something would be screwed up or a civilian would be in trouble so they'd just have to interact and boom! full evidence in a fight of some kind. Silently watching never really happened other than for recon.

"Ya do have plans right Replacement? B ain't gonna let Mothy stay ya realise."

Red Robin swallowed, using the time to process his racing thoughts. Signal and Hood were right that they'd hunted, too easily, Mothman, so what now...

"We catch it, take it back to the cave as proof then… release him?"

"Why's release it a question?"

"As B is likely to take over. It's not harming anyone. There's no reports of Mothman attacks, just sightings"

"Fuck it! Let's catch it, take it back to the cave. If B interferes we steal it and release it without him knowing. Basic ex-Robin protocol."

With a nod between the vigilantes they set to work. Black bat stealthy melding into the shadows tracking the creature in it's strange dance. Signal and Red Robin setting up nets and Red Hood with tranquilliser and a van he'd "acquired".

A quick scuffle later a sleeping Moth creature was being transported back to the cave.

…………..

Tim was preening as his disbelievers watched as those who'd trusted him helped unload the creature into a holding cell. He couldn't help the smug feeling that he'd yet again proved his evidence and theory (if a tad out there) were correct.

Watching Mothman through the perspect glass, Tim gained a slight unease. In the dark and distant the creature looked real, but under the dimmed lights of the cave, there was something off about the creature. Tim couldn't place what though.

His siblings gathered around as Tim nibbled his lip trying to work out what he was missing as the tranq wore off and a groaning noise was made by Mothman.

"[Owwww… my head!]"

"Di'ja know Mothy was French?"

"No???"

The siblings all exchange looks, this was not what they were expecting from a cryptic creature. Suddenly, the creatures started to move and… hands appeared out of the wings. With precision they darted about and it started to peel its body away. Like the reverse of a moth emerging from a cocoon, a pale skinned, dark haired person appears.

They slowly blinked bright blue eyes, taken in the situation.

"This is not the roof I was on… ummm… where am I?"

Tim could feel his siblings eyes bore into him and feel heat rising to his cheeks.

"Bady Bird, were you aware that you 'French' Mothman was a Mothwoman. And actually a meta who could peel off their skin?!'

Nightwing was looking panicked as well as frustrated.

"Tt, failure as normal."

"Well, at least Little Red was right. Not all the way, but still right."

"Not helping Little Wing!! We have a meta cryptic in the holding cells?!!!"

"Ummm, not a meta, or a cryptic… just a designer…"

Six pairs of eyes all turn to the 'creature'.

"What?"

"Err, I'm a designer. This is a costume I was testing out for a show. My hotel room isn't big enough to make sure the movements are right. I thought using the roofs would be quiet and give me space to see how it all moved for the dancing."

"Truth Little Brother."

Cass came up and rested her hands on Dick and Tim.

"She speaks truth. Not a meta."

With that reveal the tense atmosphere lightened.

"So, umm guys, we've just kidnapped a civilian designer off a roof and put them in a cell for no reason?"

Cass nodded at Duke.

"Tt, this is your fault Red Robin! Father will not be pleased."

With that Damian stalked off. Dick looked nervously between his two baby siblings before bounding off after the youngest, in hopes of doing some sort of damage control.

"Whelp! I'm out of here Red. Nice knowing you and all, but I'm not staying to watch the fireworks with B. He'll make it my fault somehow."

"Hood!!!!"

Tim turned to see Jason saunter off to his bike and zoom off out of the cave. He turns around hoping to see Cass and Duke but in his distraction they'd slunk off.

Sighing running a hand down his face, Tim looks at the woman before him. She now had taken off a lot of the additional layers and was now clearly wearing a black full body leotard with black ballet shoes. Her lithe body fully on show.

"Would it be possible sir, if you could umm... maybe err... let me go? I'm not planning to cause issues. I just wanted to finish the design before the tour show starts next week. It was my last costume set for the backing dancers."

Tim could feel his blush growing as he took this all in. His embarrassment at the whole situation as well as knowing his siblings would tease him mercilessly later.

"I… errr … I'm sorry for the unintentional kidnap. I thought you were Mothman."

At that the designer's eyes seem to shimmer.

"Really?!"

Slightly confused Tim nods while willing his blush to fade.

"[Excellent! Fantastic!!] That's amazing news. It's what I was after. That you thought it was believable is amazing!!! Uncle J is going to be thrilled."

"Uncle J?"

"Jagged. Uncle Jagged. His whole performance and tour is about Cryptid Hunting, like his album."

"Jagged as in Jagged Stone!!??!!"

"Oh shoot!! Umm, yes, no, ignore that [Sugar! Baguettes!!!] Please ignore that. If you do that, I'll ignore that I was kidnapped by a hero!"

Relief fills Tim as Uncle J was not the Joker and the context made sense that Gotham was his starting place for his tour with the vigilantes being Cryptids themselves. Disturbing the quiet that had settled between Tim and the Designer was loud noises of his siblings arguing with B. He quickly instructed the designer to pick up her costume as he set about releasing her from the cell.

Grabbing her hand, Tim led her to his bike and handed her his spare helmet to put on

"We need to go quickly before the others are back as you *WILL* be interrogated otherwise. Sorry for mucking up your plans."

She turned and stood on tiptoes and placed a soft kiss upon his cheek sending yet another blush to grow.

"No, no, I should have thought more about it being Gotham. But your feedback that it looks real was perfect. Thank you!! Can we go back to where you picked me up. I will hopefully be able to make it back to my hotel room from there."

"Which hotel and I'll just drop you off there, Miss?"

"Marinette, Hotel Gotham please Sir."

"Red Robin."

Marinette sent him a dazzling smile as she slipped her helmet over her head as he placed the costume remains into the bike's travel compartment.

Tim turned his bike on just as Robin, Nightwing and Batman made it down the stairs.

"Hold on tight!" Tim said through the helmet's Comms as he sped away, leaving the drama he will have to eventually deal with behind.

His focus currently was more on the warm lithe muscles of his kidnapped designer as he rushed back towards Gotham, and the internal plans to meet her again.

See @boldlyanxious slight kiss 😜😘❤️

What Marinette looks like.

Concept came from this.

Picture Perfect

AYO! its me back with more content for the second time this week while i ignore my other wips again. this is a lil gift for @queen-o-leen who i promised wholesome content for! I hope you like it!

Timinette/Timari Oneshot 1.9K words (not related to my other timari oneshots)

Summary:

“Tim spends a nice day in a park in Paris and takes a picture of a pretty girl.

He somehow gets an almost date out of it.”

no warnings this time. completely family-friendly. I know i surprise myself with this one too.

without further ado

He would be the last to admit that Jason was right and that time away was what he needed at this point in life but it can’t be ignored that, for the first time in possibly three years, Tim was having a wonderful day. He was having a wonderful week actually. After one too many unsuccessful cold cases and the simmering anxiety of off-world missions, his family, primarily Jason, for some reason, demanded that he take some time off and away from his unusual brand of normal. How that meant being sent across the Atlantic Ocean to Paris of all places, he wasn’t entirely sure. Alfred probably had a hand in that decision given that, as part of his forced vacation, Tim was not allowed to actually plan any of it. Him. Timothy Jackson Drake. The guy who stalked and manoeuvred his way into Batman’s house and team. The guy who tracked and found said man when the universe thought he was dead but was actually drifting through time. Yeah, Tim was not pleased about being led blind on his vacation.

At least Paris was a nice city. And he brought his camera. He figured he could use this time to get back into old hobbies and what better hobby to start up again in the city of love than photography? He’s taken pictures of every tourist attraction worth visiting by his second day and began to take candid shots of people and animals. Would Damian like the animal pictures? Maybe, if they came from someone who wasn’t Tim. Is he going to try and give them to him anyways? Absolutely not. He liked his liver where it is, thank you very much. They would serve as great bribing material however. But that’s a thought for another day.

Right now he was working on capturing what could possibly be described as the stereotypical outing with friends. He’s sitting along some bushes near the entrance of a park and staring at a group of teens his own age hanging around. He spots a brunette with thick curls of hair animatedly speaking with a guy in a vibrant cap. She’s waving a camera herself, and he appreciates her taste in equipment. Her eyes spark with fox-like mischief while the cap guy has a peaceful aura about him; like an old turtle. Next he sees a blonde, her hair is in a ridiculously high ponytail and she’s in a deep conversation with a red head off to the side of the whole group; her words are rushing out of her and she’s a buzzing bee with excitement. Another blond is in the area, but he sits in a broad patch of sun possibly napping with an open book on his chest. Very cat-like Tim supposes. He barely pays them more than a second of thought however. No.

His focus is on the quaint beauty directly in his line of sight. She’s poised up against the giant tree trunk with a sketchbook in her lap and pencils surrounding her. Her hair hangs by her shoulders in twintails and it’s a colour so dark it seems to absorb the shade of the tree. She’s scribbling furiously on the page before her and her tongue is slightly peaking out to the side. Her forehead is creased with stress lines and her shoulders hunch slightly over her frame. She’s the vision of deep concentration and dedication and Tim would be a fool not to capture her. He’s gotten wide shots of her companions but now he wants to focus on her.

Looking through the lens of his camera he zooms in on her profile. When his camera focuses, he spots a constellation of freckles across her cheeks, barely there, almost blending in with her complexion but Tim is nothing if not hypervigilant. He goes to take another photo when a bug flies into view. It’s a ladybug. It lands precariously on the tip of her nose and it’s just the thing that breaks her out of her work-induced trance. Tim is watching her now, long forgetting to click the shutter. Her eyes cross as she stares intently at the black-spotted creature and its presence seems to amuse her. She’s giggling to herself, as if sharing an inside joke with the bug and reaches a slim finger to swipe the insect gently from her nose. She inspects it and smiles a smile so soft that not even a feather could compare. He feels like an intruder. More so than one who takes pictures of cute strangers in public.

Coming back to his senses, he takes another picture, the final picture, and lowers the camera from his face. He looks back at his temporary muse and finds that she is already looking at him. Her head tilts in confusion. Apprehension. Possibly a bit of fear. Which is valid given that Tim was pointing a camera at her from across the public park. What should he do though to quell her fears?

He felt his face lift into a grin; he didn’t need to look at himself to know it was awkward and forced. A shrug of his shoulders and a flimsy wave of the camera in his hand was the only thing he did. Before he could begin to stumble over himself in apology, however, she surprised him. With a cautious hunch, her shoulders brought up to her ears, and an embarrassed smile to match his own, she slowly flips her sketchbook around and he comes face to face with, well, his face. It was a portrait of him. She had drawn a portrait of him. And she was showing him. Feeling embolden, he flips his camera to show her the screen but she’s too far away. He gets up on unsteady legs, cramped from his uncomfortable position, and begins a slow stride towards her. She meets him in the middle.

“Hi.” He barely speaks those words. They’re more like an exhale or a sigh of relief that he hadn’t scared her off.

“Hi, I hope you don’t mind the drawing.” Her voice is high and light. Like a spring breeze. She’s daintily waving at him and he sees that her fingers are rough, and calloused. Unexpected but he finds it rather charming. Before he could get another word in, she’s off like an engine. “I just saw you there, and you had your camera so I figured you were taking pictures of us and thought that if you were then you wouldn’t mind me sketching you in kind but I should have asked and I’m sorry for breaching your privacy—”

“Wait, slow down.” He fears that if he hadn’t interrupted her when he did she would run out of oxygen. Did she even breathe during her spiel? A voice in his head, that sounds like Cass, utters a soft ‘pot, kettle’ and okay, he sees a lot of himself in her mile-a-minute style of speaking.

“No need to apologize. I’m flattered, truly. You were right, I was taking pictures of you. And your friends!” he hastily adds that last part. He turns his camera so the display screen faces her and he feels himself hold his breath in anticipation.

A blush rises to her cheeks, red like the ladybug that interrupted her. He quite likes that colour on her. His eyes drift to the sketch and he’s further impressed by her skill. She has an eye for detail. He notices a bird in the background. It’s a robin. That piques his interest and lights a flicker of fear within him.

“May I ask,” he begins slowly, unsure of what that little addition could mean. Did she know? How could she? Was his identity compromised?

“Why did you draw a robin in the background? It’s lovely but I’m curious,” he finishes. He’s going to play dumb until he has more information. She seems taken off guard by the question and raises her shoulders to her ears again in an embarrassed hunch.

“Well,” she starts, but she seems unsure and the words die on her tongue. She tries again.

“I just saw it fly by and then it landed behind you. So I thought ‘why not?’ and drew it. It seemed fitting.” She wasn’t looking him in the eye and now he felt kind of felt like a jerk for baselessly accusing some random girl. Of course it was just a coincidence. This bat-paranoia was going to be the end of him one day. It’s by sheer miracles and luck why it hasn’t already.

“Oh, no worries. It just surprised me because it’s my favourite bird.” Right. Lie to the pretty French girl. But what else could he do? Tell her the truth?

“Then it’s a cool coincidence, huh?” She seems encouraged by that tidbit of information.

“Yeah, pure luck on your part.”

“What?” She seems more startled at that than Tim thinks she should be but before he can think deeper into it she speaks again and he would be a fool to not give her his undivided attention.

“Why did you take a picture of me with the ladybug? If you don’t mind me asking.” That stumps him because, to be honest, he does not know why himself. It just felt right. So he tells her as such.

“Well that would be another coincidence because ladybugs are my favourite insects.” She gives him a full smile alongside that statement and the brilliance of it almost blinds him. He wants to capture that smile for eternity.

The thought strikes him. He doesn’t want this moment to end. He knows by the Friday of next week he’ll be flying back to Gotham where it’s business as usual and Red Robin won’t have time for commitments and puppy love. But right now? Right now Tim Drake is on vacation with a week and half left and all the time in the world to entertain the idea of a spring romance. Making the decision, he goes for it and takes the chance.

“I was getting a bit hungry. Do you know anywhere that’s good to eat at?” It’s an offer, open to interpretation. If she just lists some place, he knows where her interests lay. If she offers to escort him somewhere, then she’s taken the bait for exactly what it is, an invitation for more; whatever more is. He hopes she takes the bait.

“Yes I do actually! My parents own a bakery just outside the park.” Her enthusiasm is uplifting and the offer of a place so personal is a good sign in Tim’s book. “Let me show the way, and I could join you if you would like.”

“Perfect. That’s wonderful. It will be my treat since you’re going out of your way on my account.”

“Nonsense. Like I said, it’s my parents’ bakery. They’ll be more than happy to give some complimentary snacks.” She loops her arm around his and begins to drag him to the park gate. She’s strong and her grip is firm and Tim feels lightheaded at the ease with which she pulls him. He can’t help but be swept up in the tides that is this girl.

“I’m Tim, by the way. Tim Drake.” He offers his name, something he should have done at the beginning.

She looks back at him over her shoulder and he’s caught up in the oceans of her eyes. They’re alight with joy.

“Nice to meet you, Tim. I’m Marinette Dupain-Cheng.”

“Nice to meet you too.”

They’re almost by the bakery now, he can smell the fresh baked goods from here, and he can’t wait to sit down and get to know this girl better. Maybe get her number by the end of their lunch.

Yeah. Tim was having a wonderful day.
