One idea could be that Batman and Catwoman kiss during a moment of truce while they are teaming up to take down a greater threat in Gotham.

Their kiss could be a moment of surrender in the face of these complex emotions, which would draw the reader in.
One scenario in the fanfiction could be that Batman gets jealous when he sees Catwoman flirting with a rich businessman during one of her heists. He might start to question her motives and their relationship. This jealousy could cause him to act out of character, perhaps being more aggressive or possessive towards Catwoman than he normally would be. And Catwoman, being the independent character she is, would not take kindly to this sudden change in Batman's behavior, leading to a rift between them that would be interesting to explore in the story.
A way to develop their relationship in this type of fanfiction is through joint parenting. They might have different approaches to raising their kids.

Also, they could face external threats to their family which forces them to rely on each other more, strengthening their bond.
