After the defeat of Hawkmoth and the retirement of Suhan, Marinette’s life is just getting crazier. She doesn’t know how a soulmate could ever fit into her life, and sometimes she thinks the two letters on her wrist are just the universe’s joke to her, but she knows better than to bank on it.

Summary
Marinette had always known that Tom Dupain was never her biological father. And yet, he loved her like she was his and even let her have his last name. So, Marinette never felt the need to ask either of her parents who her biological father was. She just never felt the need.
But some good things can never last, not when the author of her life decided that she would be doing a biology project for science.
And now she knew Bruce Wayne was her father.
And what was that? She was going to Gotham for a field trip? Huh.
Maybe some things can last. At least now she has lots of loving siblings!
Jason really ought to stop calling himself Red Hood when it was a helmet, though. And Jon needed stronger magic for his glasses if he wanted his secret identity to stay a secret.

Perfect Sense by PurpleBooks58

Summary
Normally, a trip to Gotham wouldn’t be so bad (excluding the whole 'crime capital' part, of course). Unfortunately, Marinette has a father who doesn't know she exists in the form of an enigmatic billionaire and particularly nosy brothers who seemed to be incapable of letting her be.
Marinette had always known that Tom Dupain wasn’t her biological father. She’d never been told just who her real father was, but that had never really mattered to her. Tom had always been there for her, loving her as if he were his own. Marinette would later learn that Tom physically couldn’t have children, so perhaps that was why he’d been so willing to parent Sabine’s toddler when given the option.
“Maman…” Her mouth was dry as she swallowed. “What’s… what’s his name?”
“Oh,” Sabine smiled. “Bruce Wayne. We met… what was it? Sixteen years ago? Bit of a whirlwind romance, to be honest. This was a few years after he adopted his first son, mind you. But it was─… Marinette?"
Bruce Wayne... is her father.

A Welcoming Change by Brinxiethebear

Summary
Damian Wayne always saw himself in a certain light. He was calculating and cold and he always took his work seriously. He was what others would call the Ice Prince. He was a loner and by choice. The only people he ever really tolerated talking to was his family and his only friend, Jon. Mainly he just spent time with his pets.
So can you guess what happens when a new girl ends up coming to his school? It's certainly not what he was expecting. He finds that its a welcoming change nonetheless, no matter what surprises may come his way.

Summary
It starts with an offhand comment on Tim’s birthday.
Damian blinks. “It looked like what?”
“Lit,” Richard repeats. “Isn’t that what you kids call it, with the music and dancing…?”
“I don’t follow. The video had rather dim lighting, if you asked me.”
Richard pauses for a moment, his eyes wide as he scans to see if Damian is joking. When he realizes that there’s only confusion, Richard deeply sighs and pats him across the shoulder.
“You definitely need more friends your age.”
