    Summary

    There is an unspoken rule, kept by any outsider who's ever set foot in Gotham, that you should only ever visit the city once. (For some, even once is far too much.)

    The most dangerous city on earth isn't kind to its residents—much less strangers who don't know how to watch their pockets or keep off the streets after dark. It's gotten better, perhaps, in recent years since the Bat started lurking on rooftops, but that doesn't mean the city is good.

    Normal people stay as far from Gotham as they can get.

    Marinette, (un)luckily, is far from normal.

    ***

    The story of Marinette stumbling upon the illustrious Wayne family over and over again, as well as the more infamous Bats, over the course of her many visits to Gotham. She, of course, charms the whole lot of them and finds that the same is true in the reverse.

    Summary

    It is a truth universally acknowledged that two people, who have only had a single meeting, must evidently be associated somehow. Of course, this universally acknowledged truth is founded on the public's audacious and insatiable curiosity to know everything, except what is worth knowing. But, this still is, in fact, a universally acknowledged truth.

    (Or: The climactic, synthesized-pop soundtrack of Marinette's Class Trip to Gotham City, America — complete with the communal and online reaction.)

    Summary

    All Marinette wanted to do was buy some dishes and twinkle lights.

    Instead, she got wrapped up in an all-out game of hide-and-seek between four of the most well-trained vigilantes in the world. Involving Home Alone-esque traps, crushed forklifts, a surprising amount of shoplifting considering they're the good guys, and the beginnings of an epic bond with a smirking, laser wielding, maniac.

    Not that she knew that at the time. All she saw was a cute guy hiding behind a desk, and the rest was history.

    Summary

    Marianne is a common, bookish fairy with a taste for adventure, who learns that the veil between her world of sunlit fields and the deep mysterious dark forest becomes thin and passable for three nights once every hundred years. The time is almost upon her and she waits for the first rays of moonlight to strike the barrier, allowing her entry into a world she’s only heard rumors about. From everything she’s read, no one who has tried to cross has ever been seen again.
