20 Questions (for fanfic writers)
I got tagged by the absolutely lovely @sarah-sandwich Thank you!!
1. how many works do you have on ao3?
17 :)
2. what's your total ao3 word count?
157,867 (2/3 of that is SMH hahaha)
3. what fandoms do you write for?
atm all my WIPs and upcoming fic ideas are Spidey related, but I used to write a lot for MLB and OL:BA (and A:TLA back on ffn in hs but we don't talk about the dark ages hahaha)
4. top five fics by kudos:
Under The Moonlight - OL:BA smutty oneshot of what should have happened after the charity ball scene 😳
Crushtomer - MLB coffee shop AU one-shot with Barista!Adrien and Overworked Uni Student!Marinette (heavily inspired by my barista days in College, when I was writing this) ☕
King Agreste - a MLB AU oneshot inspired by the Grimm fairy tale Allerleirauh "all-kinds-of-fur" 🏰
You Said You Loved Me - an MLB kwami swap identity reveal wip i never finished and probably never will sorry 😬
Spider-Man: Homesickness - My take on what the MCU Spidey's life could be like 5 years post: No Way Home and his journey into letting people back into his life and not being so alone (My CURRENT BABY and WIP that I'm ALMOST DONE WITH - it's so fucking long alskdhasasjdkhksdjhfkfh my hope is that it ends up in the no. 1 spot someday when it's complete) 🕸️
5. do you respond to comments?
So I didn't always, but nowadays I try really hard to respond to every comment thread at least, even if I don't always have the last comment on the thread. I really REALLY appreciate each and every comment and I actually often re-read them when I'm feeling insecure in my writing (is that cringe? maybe lol but it's true)
6. what is the fic your wrote with the angstiest ending?
Definitely The Beauty of Green. 268-word OL: BA drabble that smacks you out of nowhere in the last two sentences. I never write things that short anymore but it just worked
7. what's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
A lot of my one-shots back when I was writing for MLB like 5 years ago have happy endings. I prefer more *complicated* endings now, but a genuinely happy ending can be nice too. May I present Drops in a Pond for consideration though? Not traditionally fluffy or sweet, but I like to think it's a soft and hopeful kind of ending.
8. do you get hate on fics?
I haven't yet. I think I'm too small of a creator to get hate lol
9. do you write smut?
I've posted one smut fic before, Under the Moonlight, listed above. It's my top-rated fic so I guess I know a little of what I'm doing. OH and my side-wip I'm working on when SMH is too angsty for me is all fluff and kinky Parkner smut and I'm so excited to post that someday when SMH is fully out and done.
10. craziest crossover:
I haven't written any crossovers, unless you count pulling from marvel canon across different adaptations to make SMH (it's got Gwen and Harry and Miles even though they're not in the MCU 19999 as of now). But I used to write a lot of aus
11. have you ever had a fic stolen?
I don't think so
12. have you ever had a fic translated?
No, but I would be so honored if someone did! I once had a full conversation in the comments with someone in another language by using Google Translate and that was fun!
13. have you ever co-written a fic before?
I think my writing process would be a little too unconventional to co-write with someone unless we were trading chapters and perspectives. I go back and edit my drafts a lot as I move forward and I would be too tempted to edit their writing too, which feels mean...
14. all time favorite ship?
I LITERALLY CAN NOT PICK DO NOT DO THIS TO ME!!!!! I will be a multi-shipper until the day I die, in basically every fandom.
15. what's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
I have an idea for a series of long fics making an MCU HS AU inspired by Degrassi, but I think it would be just too many hours and too many words that I won't ever commit to. I love a good HS AU every now and again, but I feel like a lot of people (across fandoms with hs aus tbh) write the characters as if they already have a lot of the canon quirks the characters have as adults. I would want to write them truly as their HS selves, acting like real teenagers and all the dumb shit teens do, as the reader follows along on the journey of their growing up.
16. what are your writing strengths?
I think I really like detail and trying to portray a level of reality with the characters, even in more fantastical settings. I want the character's choices and motivations to be both complex and clear to the reader, even when they're making choices that the reader disagrees with. I also think this is a skill that is more and more prevalent in my recent writing, so my earlier MLB stuff doesn't have as much of it. My OLBA stuff and now my Spidey stuff though? Yeah.
17. what are your writing weaknesses?
Staying motivated to finish WIPS. (This is something I've improved a lot on though and at this point, barring some kind of life-or-death calamity in my life, I will absolutely be finishing SMH. I'm literally 120k of a predicted 150k words deep and going strong sooo).
OH ALSO comedy! I'm so bad at writing funny characters and making them actually say things that are both funny and make sense. Sucks when writing Spidey cause he can be such a little shit with his sarcastic comments and each dialogue point takes me 3-5 business weeks to come up with.
18. thoughts on dialogue in another language?
I do it very rarely and only when it feels 100% necessary. I had a small bit in Spanish in ch 6 of SMH because Jeff and Rio were literally talking about Peter right in front of him and he could hear the words they were saying, even if he didn't understand them. But it was very brief.
I did it because the POV character literally didn't understand it, so it made sense to have it written out. In fics where the POV character understands what's being said, I prefer it all be written in the fic's primary language, for reader ease.
19. first fandom you wrote in?
A:TLA, like I said. That was back in the dark ages of my Junior Year of HS on my old ffn account that will never see the light of day again hahaha
20. favorite fic you've written?
Every current WIP has always been my favorite because that is what I'm thinking about. So SMH is definitely my current fave. It's my baby and I've put literally hundreds of hours into it (I keep a spreadsheet lol, it's nearly 150 hours of sheer writing, not including the early days of brainstorming and outlining.)
HOWEVER, back in the day, I was really proud of writing Answer Me and it's literally my lowest-rated fic, but I was such a fan of the genre and the Night Circus inspiration. Plus, I love Alya as a character and it was really fun to write from her perspective.
OH, and I'm still proud of Under the Moonlight because it taught me that my acespec ass can write smut and is also good at it, lol. I just have to write smut that's rooted in ~*~feelings~*~ and also has an element of humanism and imperfection. Which is the type of vibe I'm putting into my side-wip rn.
Thanks for tagging me, Sarah!
no pressure tagging: @seek--rest, @abcd-em, @missamyshay, @pbpsbff

Shizuke is NOT an Adrienette descendant but...
Tumblr media
This might explain why Adrien feels more at ease around him. Shizuke reminds him of someone. He is not their descendant but I am a believer of nurture over nature: his grandmother saw Adrienette as her mentors-slash-parental-figures and she picked up some of their mannerisms. And Shizuke is a grandma's boy so... These are some of his scenes for my fanfic No Two Cats are the Same at Ao3 and FFN.
Shizuke took a little longer than Blair to draw because this guy can run through five expressions per scene if he's feeling particularly emotional, so choosing an expression took me a while. Most of those expressions included exaggerated hand movements. He inherited Marinette's rubber face and flailing arms alongside her Miraculous. Pretty sure the public are looking at their generation's Ladybug, believing he is totally related to history's legendary bug heroine but he swears he isn't. Personality-wise, he's got more in common with Adrien, hence the lack of speculation if he's related to Chat Noir.

Tease a cat a little too much and you might get more than you asked for...
AO3 / FFN
Pairing - All sides of the square
Prompt - ‘Tease’
Summary -
If he had his kitten ears right now, they would have been plastered against his hair out of pure embarrassment and perhaps be just as red as his real ears.
"Shall we get back to work?" His voice came out low and raw, clearly affected by the proximity and tension and the knowing twinkle in her eyes did not help matters at all. Tilting her head ever so slightly to the side, Marinette's smile grew and the warmth in her face increased by ten folds as if she was seeing all of him without an obstacle in her way.
"Whenever you're ready."
Little did he know how much effort it took for her tongue to keep down the 'mon Chaton' from slipping out...
(Or, Ladybug figures out Chat Noir’s identity because she constantly stares at his and Adrien’s lips and becomes a little cheeky about it.)
~(x)~ . . . It took Chat Noir everything for his voice to not raise higher and higher in pitch as he tried his utmost best to continue the conversation, going on about his day without clueing in his civilian identity all whilst his Lady continued to watch him intently, her pretty sky blues rooted to his mouth wordlessly. Like he was a piece of a jigsaw puzzle or a lucky charm she needed to figure out as if her life and the rest of the world depended on it. The feline boy self-consciously licked his lips, internally praying to all the gods out there (that were at least an ounce more reliant than Plagg the camembert glutton) to help him keep his cool. Hopefully, his lips weren't too chapped or bruised from all the anxious lip-biting he did this morning at school from worrying over Marinette for the umpteenth time (she tripped at least thirty-six times today no thanks to her sleep deprivation! Thirty-six times!!! How many bones would she have broken if he weren't there to catch her every single time!?). Regardless of that, he always took good care of himself on a daily basis, especially his lips! And his wonderful Lady was still staring at him as if she was in some sort of a deep trance... "Is...is there something on my face?" He finally asked timidly, his tan skin taking on a flustered strawberry-pink hue when he noticed just how small the gap was between them and how he could feel the magnetising heat of her body just mere inches away from his. Ladybug was quick to snap out of what ever stupor she was in, her face taking on the same embarrassed kissed rose colour as her partner's and her pupils constricting from panic. "N-No! Nope! Zilch! Nada! Hahaha!" She took a couple of steps back, ignoring the arm he raised towards her as if he was silently wishing for her to come back to him (his kitten ears adorably plastered against his golden hair and his belt tail drooping against la Tour Eiffel's beam). "I just got lost in my thoughts, sorry, mon Chaton," Ladybug composed herself quickly but her complexion still held that pretty pink glow and it took everything for her Minou to not pepper her rosy cheeks with butterfly kisses to express all the love he holds for her. He quietly sighed in relief, glad that his Lady was relatively back to normal (to some extent). He smiled charmingly and raised an amused brow under his mask, emerald greens twinkling with his standard mischief. "Oh? What could have captivated my sweet Lady's mind as I was talking about my miaw-vellous day~?" He placed the tip of his baton onto the surface and leaned against the weapon as if he was a curious little schoolgirl, batting his long lashes and his faux tail swirling behind him with feline inquisitiveness. The pleasant grin he wore was quick to drop to a frown the second his Lady went beet red instantaneously, her watery blues refocusing on his lips anew and a kettle-like high-pitched squeal escaping her tight-lipped mouth. He wouldn't have been surprised if steam started to seep out of her ears too. And this mannerism was practically identical to his Princesse- "It's nothing! Nothing you need to know- hahahaah! Well! Look at the time! Oh no- I totally should sleep right now- hahaha! See you, Chaton!" The flustered heroine didn't even get a chance to yo-yo away, her partner quickly clasping her hand with desperation (and she could have sworn that she heard a soft kitten-like mewl of protest leave his throat). Peering back over her shoulder slowly, audibly swallowing and trying her best to remain as calm as possible, her blues met her Chat Noir's greens. "My Lady? Did...did I do something wrong? Or say something wrong? I'm sorry if I did...please don't go," He tightened his protective grip slightly over her tiny but hardworking hand but she was much more than capable of escaping his clutches with ease and darting away. The fact that she stayed and listened warmed up his pounding heart and the way her expression beautifully softened turned his entire being to goo. His Lady then smiled tenderly, turning her body back around to face him properly and placing their joint hands against her chest, all whilst her skin remained a brilliant sakura hue. "Mon Chaton, don't worry. You didn't do anything wrong at all. I promise," She squeezed her fingers around his, her heart beating so fast against his gloved hand in a rhythm that matched his so wonderfully. "I just...it's just civilian stuff. I'll get over it. Don't ever think it's your fault, silly Chaton," And then, unexpectedly, she brought their joint hands to her plump, sugary lips, his knuckles grazing the supple flesh and she softly kissed the appendage. Chat Noir felt his entire body go from a flickering flame to a wild inferno immediately, his whole face and neck blooming with a red so prominent, it gave the heroine's suit a run for its money. His heart somersaulted inside his chest at high speeds and all the words on his tongue melted into nothing but a discombobulated, quiet whine. "I'll stay just a little longer. After all, aren't you the one who's always on my case to go to sleep on time? Wouldn't want to let my partner down, would I?" She has virtually destroyed him. He was utterly wrecked. So, so wrecked. And all he could do was nod dumbly, a lopsided and dreamy smile resting on his lips that oozed with lovesickness and adoration without pulling any punches. The very same lips that his Lady proceeded to glance at once again, only to smirk in a manner that would match his mischievous kwami's nature and not give him a single clue of what was going on through her mysterious yet spectacular mind. 'Oh, my Lady~!!!!!!' ~(x)~ Marinette was staring at him. At him!!! Adrien tried his best not to fidget too much on his seat, keeping himself occupied by finishing off his indistinguishable notes on his sheet of paper all whilst his heart soared blissfully. The person he absolutely adores and doubtlessly admires so, so much (shining under the same starlight that glitters over his Lady) was watching him! The very same girl he's always, always wanted to be closer with and bask in her presence was studying him rather than averting eye contact and keeping her distance like she usually does! He wasn't surprised with the way the heat rushed to the apples of his cheeks and the second he bit his bottom lip, he could have sworn that he heard a light, airy sigh leave Marinette's pretty pink lips. By instinct, he finally looked up towards her on the opposite side of the small (so, so small) table they were seated on in the library, his curious sight capturing the wonderfully content and dreamy expression that his Princesse wore. One hard-working hand resting on the side of her head, supported by her elbow. Her skin blooming with a beautiful shade of sakura and rose. Her baby blue eyes glittering under her dark fringe and resting their gaze on his frame. Her sweet, kissable lips shaped in a ghost of a smile. Was it...was it because of him? Someone as shy and quiet and awkward as...him...? . "Marinette?" Her name left his mouth before he could think, the boy quick to curse himself as she automatically snapped out of her enchanted state and jumped in her seat like his alter ego's namesake. He hoped, hoped, hoped to death that she wouldn't run off with a silly excuse and leave him behind in her dust. That she wouldn't run away somewhere so far away that he could never find her again. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you," He gently leaned in closer, their knees brushing under the table and his pleading hands resting on one of hers upon the surface. Thankfully, for once, luck was on his side and she relaxed just a smidge under his warmth, averting eye contact from his brilliant greens and finding the chair near them more interesting. The sweet red on the apples of her cheeks remained and he felt her pulse thrumming under his touch, the boy wondering just why it was so fast. "It's not your fault, Adrien. I-I-I shouldn't have zoned off." She wore a sheepish smile now, eyes closed and a cute chime of giggles leaving her enticing throat. "I bet you're wishing that Madame. Bustier chose someone else as your partner instead of me for this project," The blond had to push aside his momentary feeling of euphoria from the sounds of her laughs and use his singular working brain cell. He squeezed her hand with what he hoped was a comforting gesture. "No way! I'm so happy that you're mine- I mean! Mine-my- my partner!" He leaned in even closer, his perfect teeth nibbling his bottom lip and his golden skin kissed with a lovely pink hue. "You have no idea how happy I was when we got paired together. I've always wanted to work with you and create something together..." Adrien confessed quietly, pleading his heart to calm down and praying to anything and everything that he wouldn't spook Marinette with his feelings. "Any time you zone off...I'm...more than happy to bring you back to the world, Marinette." He lowered his gaze, eyeing the way he rubbed circles on the back of Marinette's petite hand with his thumbs and then his greens met her blues once again. "Oh," Her response wasn't anything louder than a delighted gasp but it was more than enough to keep the boy absolutely thrilled. Before he could say anything else, Adrien noted that she was eyeing his mouth in a manner that was practically identical to his Lady's scrutinising yesterday night. Forbidden truths and theories and hopes sewed themselves back together in his brain for the millionth time and- "I'm glad," She snapped him out of his thoughts anew by mustering the courage to press her forehead against his gently, pretty blue eyes flickering from his peach pink lips to his curious greens and back. His heart was a hummingbird vibrating in his chest and hot flames coursed through his veins as the intensity within her eyes grew with an emotion that seemed to just suck him in and beckon him to give in to one of his many temptations. She was only a breath away... Maybe... Just maybe...if he just leaned a little closer... Much to his screaming silent dismay, the smart girl pulled away and took all the delicious warmth with her, an iconic and very familiar grin dancing on her face as she peered back at his lips one more time. Adrien was almost so sure that she knew for definite that he was currently a hot, flustered mess and she was eating it all up. If he had his kitten ears right now, they would have been plastered against his hair out of pure embarrassment and perhaps be just as red as his real ears. "Shall we get back to work?" His voice came out low and raw, clearly affected by the proximity and tension and the knowing twinkle in her eyes did not help matters at all. Tilting her head ever so slightly to the side, Marinette's smile grew and the warmth in her face increased by ten folds as if she was seeing all of him without an obstacle in her way. "Whenever you're ready." Little did he know how much effort it took for her tongue to keep down the 'mon Chaton' from slipping out... ~(x)~ "M-M-Marinette!?" The way his voice left his throat as an embarrassing squeak had the feline hero's complexion redden to the point of no return, stray strands of his golden hair sticking up straight like an arrow and his heart beating a million miles per hour. Despite his inner (and outer) turmoil, Marinette acted as if he was just talking about the weather, smearing the residue of the sweet balm on her thumb after she swiped the digit against his lips without any warning. "Oh, did I startle you?" She smiled almost too innocently, her sky blues burning with something mischievous and hungry, her pretty face gracefully tilted to the side in question. "I'm sorry, I thought there was something on your lips. I just didn't expect it to be...fruit-flavoured lip balm," There was something very knowing and very cheeky in her voice and it was driving Chat Noir absolutely crazy. "Strawberry too...my favourite." His lips wobbled and his heart was a jackhammer and despite their huge height difference, Marinette's presence alone felt like it was looming over him like a mountain! "I-I-I-" He swallowed audibly, trying everything to regain back his composure and cleared his throat, coughing once, twice (maybe thrice) into his fist. "The cold air was making my lips a little chapped..." He lightly fibbed, averting eye contact but still able to see her laughing blues peering at his mouth through his peripheral vision and he couldn't help the petty scowl that plastered itself on his face, reminiscent of the odd grumpy cat or two. "So what?" "Chat Noir," The heroine in disguise roamed closer towards the blushing catboy, her hands now behind her back and her rosy lips grinning like his namesake. "Are you ly-iiiiiiing~?" They were now nose to nose and the boy found himself backed up against a brick wall, faux ears now lowered against his golden tresses as the feel of her deliciously sweet and warm breath against his mouth made his lips ache with the intense need to capture her lips. However, instead of blindly following his urges like his heart begged him to, Chat Noir let out an awkward mewl that sounded like a tiny kitten trapped inside a box, making the girl try her utmost best to hold in her endeared snickers. Oh, that little mouse! He absolutely refused to be teased like that! "You know what? Yes, you're right!" This time, he leaned forward with determination, forehead pressing against hers in a manner that matched the moment they shared in the school library when he was guised as his shy, civilian self. His heart fluttered victoriously from the sight of the sweet bloom of pink on her soft cheeks and despite his desperate need to cradle her soft face within his hands, his claws remained rooted within the bricks of the wall behind him. He childishly narrowed his eyes, not thinking through his words properly and then spoke. "Maybe I was just keeping myself prepared in advance in case my Lady needs to or wants to kiss me again. Hmmph!" Though his voice cracked midway through his (truthful) declaration, the way Marinette's eyes glimmered with pure wonder and raw desire had the cogs turning within his one brain-celled mind anew and he was now one hundred and ten percent sure that his cunning Princesse was also his incredible La- "Just your Lady?" The way Marinette batted her long lashes at him and pressed her fist against her lips was just so illegally cute, it consequently destroyed what ever working thought processes he had running through his shaken mind, causing him to finally slide down the wall and sink to his bum with a pitiful 'miau' escaping his lips. . He was so screwed and she KNEW it. But did she care? Non! As if it wasn't enough that he was now a useless pile of patheticness with a window's error screen blasting in his brain, Marinette bent down to his level and sat on her haunches all whilst watching him with those devilish blue eyes of hers. She trailed a dainty finger from his cheek, down his jaw until the tip of it was tilting his chin towards her smug face so that they were merely a kiss apart. "What if I want a kiss too, mon Chaton~?" . K. O. . "Chaton??? Chat Noir??? Oh no...how am I supposed to fight the akuma with you passed out like this- don't look at me like that Tikki! It's not my fault that he can only dish but can't take! Ugh...silly Chaton..." ~(x)~ "You know, after saving you from that akuma, I was expecting anything but that face from you, Adrien," Ladybug giggled as she swung them both away from Le Papillon's latest puppet villain from rooftop to rooftop. It took everything for the heroine to not burst out into mad cackles from the way her good friend pouted childishly in her arms with his cheeks puffed up like a hamster and his spring green eyes twinkling with slight irritation. She got a low warning hum from him as a response as he furrowed his brows even further and continued to glower like a kitten who was refused its very well-deserved treat. With a few more powerful leaps and impressive swings, Ladybug managed to get herself and Adrien to a secluded alleyway in a quiet area that was currently vacant of any civilians for the time being. Getting them both to their knees and crouching over the blond teen, Ladybug kept them hidden in the shadows so that the rampaging akuma couldn't get a glimpse of them as it ran by in pursuit of petty revenge (which in her opinion was quite justified since there was no need for Chloé Bourgeois to have poured rotten milk all over their head in the first place). . It was only after a few seconds of waiting silently did Ladybug finally notice the hot, hot gaze that rested on her face, emeralds flickering from her own blues to her cold, rosy lips and back. The heroine clad in red then registered the suggestive position they were in with her strong arms caging Adrien against the wall, her hips a hair away from straddling his to the ground and the gap between their mouths just barely there. She couldn't help but freeze at the moment, mesmerised by the intensity of his eyes and the way that every breath that left his parted lips was a frosty condensation that felt hotter than the blood that roared in her veins every time it hit her sensitive skin. It took her everything to not jump out of her suit the second his sharp nose gently grazed her softer one all whilst he watched her under his long, dark lashes. "A-Adrien...?" Although the whisper of his name was audible, all that Ladybug could hear was her heart ricocheting inside her chest as if it was on fire. Her guised partner stayed silent as one of his hands made its way towards her face so that his piano fingers could tenderly cup her jaw and rub his thumb against her cheekbone. This time, Ladybug couldn't stop the way she physically trembled from his loving touch which started off as icy cold and softly grew warmer and warmer. A muted gasp was next to escape her mouth when his other hand firmly rested on the small of her back (making it arch oh so deliciously) and before she knew it- He was leaning in closer... And closer... And closer... . . . "Why are you just sitting still like that? I thought you wanted a kiss, Marinette." The second that Ladybug comprehended his stupidly smug and very victorious tone, Adrien gingerly squished her face with the hand that was cradling her jaw so that her lips were automatically pursed and pressed a hot, searing kiss with his own lips. The taste of his sweet, sweet strawberry lip balm was more than enough to make her eyes flutter closed and grip the lapels of his winter jacket as she enthusiastically kissed back with as much passion and fervour as she could possibly muster. It was messy. It was clumsy. But she loved every fucking second of it. Her Chaton was absolutely merciless, nipping her bottom lip with the sharp of his teeth just so he can slip his tongue in as his fingers clawed on her back almost possessively. A small, tiny part of her mind had a feeling that maybe, just maybe, the kiss would have been a lot more gentle and perhaps shorter if it weren't for some of her shameless teasings lately. Especially when he was decked up as his alter-ego not too long ago. Not that she was complaining. The second Adrien tilted his face to a slight angle, Ladybug lost every single comprehensive thought within her brain and all that she could think about was him. His name, his face, his eyes, his lips, his everything. Him. Her Chaton, her Minou, her Chat Noir, her Adrien, her Prince, him. The softness and silkiness of his lips, the scorching feel of his fingers running through her hair as he tore off the ribbons, the delighted and pleased sighs of her name. Oh, how she loves, loves, loves him. . "And you thought that I can only dish it," Adrien chuckled against her beet-red throat, delivering the sweet butterfly kisses he's always wanted to shower the love of his life with and holding her close against his frame. When he pulled back to meet her gaze, the feline within him couldn't help but be unconditionally pleased with the flustered, thoroughly-kissed state his beloved partner was in. He didn't bother fighting off the delighted purr that rumbled through his chest like a happy kitten. 'I did that. I turned my smug, perfect Lady into a blushy mess. Hah! Take that, ma Buguinette!' "I-I-I...you!" Ladybug finally snapped out of her enchanted stupor, the cogs in her brain now having the energy to move and piece together what just happened in the last five minutes or so. "You said my name! How- when- I mean!?" Unfortunately, words decided to abandon her once again so all that Ladybug could do was flop her head against her snickering partner's chest with a defeated and very, very embarrassed groan. "Who knew that little ol' me can turn the amazing Ladybug as red as her suit~?" Adrien earned a well-deserved (and light) jab against his shoulder but it did nothing to affect the shit-eating grin that was virtually tattooed on his face. "Alright, alright. Unlike you, I can hold off the teasing for a little while~" When Adrien stood them back up and sweetly moved her hands from her face, all whilst watching her with his beautiful, affectionate gaze with a smile full of devotion, Ladybug felt her heart rev back up to high speeds once again. . Until his tender smile switched to a devilish, insufferable grin. "Told ya you'd fall for me one day~" "WHAT!? I! I! YOU-UUUUUUUUUUUUU! We have an akuma to fight! Hurry up and transform you, idiot!" "This idiot got you undone in one kiss alone~" "CHAT NOIR!!?!?" "Actually, right now I'm Adrien-" "I'LL HANG YOU UPSIDE-DOWN ON THE TOWER EITHER WAY!" "No you wouldn't~ because you love me~" "UGHHHHHHH!" . . . ~(x)~

Latest Story: Tell Me You Want Me When You’re Sober
I- was NOT expecting to write something today! Hooray for random shocks from my Muse!
Actually, for this story, I'd like to thank @ceejles​. Some minor spoilers for the story, but ceejles’s SpyxFamily fanart inspired this piece. I just kept thinking about these three opening panels to her one fancomic, and picturing Loid as Adult Adrien and Yor as Adult Marinette. Add in the song "Siren" by April Fooze*, and you get this story. (Boy, it's fun to actually KNOW where inspiration came from!)
*April Fooze is the streamer Fuslie’s GTA NoPixel character.
Summary: While at Alya and Nino's house-warming party, Marinette wandered off to take a breather. Noticing her vanishing act, Adrien went to look for her. Hidden away in the guest bedroom being used as a coat-check room, the two take a moment to themselves. The fun little intimate moment between friends becomes more intimate than either of them anticipated.

Tell Me You Want Me When You’re Sober
“Adrien! Dance with me!” Marinette downed the last of her tequila sunrise before slamming the highball glass onto the guest bedroom dresser and pulling Adrien to his feet.
Adrien chuckled. “There isn't any music playing.”
Pouting at him, Marinette fumbled for her phone, and brought up some slinky, sultry club music. She slammed her phone on the dresser beside her glass and then gestured towards it.
“How am I supposed to dance to this?” Adrien laughed again and placed his hands on his hips.
“Oh, like you can't slink around?” Marinette stuck out her tongue. Her hips and head swayed with the music. Her hands slid up her sides, along her jawline, and then met above her head. As her hands traveled, her eyes closed. A smirk crossed her lips just before she gently bit her lower one. Her humming along with the song was what finally hooked her prey.
Adrien's hands wrapped around Marinette's waist, feeling it sway. Her shirt slid up a touch, and his ring and middle fingers brushed against her skin.
“Marinette, maybe we should go back to the party,” Adrien suggested in a hushed tone.
“Mm-mm.” She shook her head and pivoted in Adrien's hands so her back was towards him. She gathered her hair up and off her neck. “I like it in here.”
“Alya and Nino are going to wonder where we've vanished.”
“They have other guests. They won't notice.”
Adrien leaned into Marinette's ear. “I think they might.”
“Mmmm. I wanna dance. There's no place to dance out there.”
“We're in their spare bedroom. There's no place to dance in here either.”
“There's plenty of space.” Marinette slid out of Adrien's hands, kicked off her shoes, and climbed up onto the bed piled with coats.
“That's not a very sturdy dance stage.”
Trying to prove otherwise, Marinette planted her feet and started dipping low as she continued to sway with the music. Her hands traveled across her body before stretching out and beckoning for Adrien to join her.
He shook his head no and curled a finger to beckon her to him instead.
Stubbornly, Marinette twirled on the bed. Her foot caught on one of the coats, throwing her off balance.
“Marinette!” Adrien rushed forward as Marinette tumbled sideways off the bed. He easily caught her in a bridal carry. “You okay?”
She nodded, and he placed her back onto her feet, his hands still firmly on her sides to help steady her.
“I told you that wasn't a good place to dance. Come on, let's get back to the party.”
Eyebrows stitched together in mild frustration, Marinette grabbed either side of Adrien's shirt collar. With a tug she pulled Adrien the few inches down she needed to reach him while on her tiptoes. Their lips collided with a satisfied moan rolling from Marinette's chest.
Eyes wide with a start, Adrien kept a millisecond to register what just happened. As the heat from Marinette's lips reached his brain he leaned into the kiss, slamming her gently into the wall a few inches behind her. Their bodies pressed against each other; her hands still tugging hungrily on his shirt. A low growl rumbled through Adrien's throat. Marinette's tongue pressed against his lips, asking for entry.
With a quick inhale, Adrien pulled away; the spell of the music, low lighting, and muffled sounds of the party around them broken. The faint tang of orange clung to his lips; transferred there from Marinette's tongue.
“Adrien?” Marinette was still pinned against the wall. Her hair was matted around her head like a sloppy halo. Her eyes were half lidded and luring. Her lips were barely parted and a deep red from their brief encounter. The rose in her cheeks had bled to her ears, and Adrien wasn't sure if it was from the booze, the dancing, or the kiss.
“You're drunk,” he whispered.
“I am.” Her right hand followed the trim of his collar to the back of his neck. She gently pulled on it; instructing him to lean back into her.
Adrien rested his forehead against hers; his eyes closed. “You don't know what you want.”
“No,” she whispered back. “Being drunk means I know exactly what I want. But now I'm not going to stop myself from getting it.” Her right hand continued to press on the back of his neck as her left skirted around to his back.
Adrien's breath hitched. He stood frozen with his forehead against hers as she hungrily pulled on him to bring him back to her mouth. The song transitioned to another; this one a bit more upbeat with some rap. Neither of them noticed the music anymore.
Adrien nuzzled against the side of Marinette's face and whispered in her ear. “Marinette. Listen to me. Listen carefully, okay?”
She hummed acknowledgment and tilted her head away; opening her collarbone up to him.
“Marinette, I want you.”
“I want you too, Adrien.” She kissed his jawline. “So, this works out well, doesn't it?” Her hands slid down his body and caught on the waistband of his pants.
“No.” He took a step away from her, catching her hands in his. With an intensity that Marinette didn't recall seeing before, Adrien repeated himself. “I want you. I don't know exactly how drunk you are, so, I'm hoping it's not black-out drunk. I need you to hear this and remember it.” Dropping one of her hands, Adrien cradled her chin instead. “If I'm truly what you want – who you want – know that I want you too.”
“I'm right here, Adrien. I am right here. We're alone. There's a bed-”
Adrien covered her mouth. “Stop! Stop this! Marinette, I know this isn't how you want to do this. This wasn't how you wanted to tell me. This isn't how you pictured us getting together. You don't want it to be while you're drunk and we're hidden away during our best friends' house-warming party. If you truly want it at all.”
Marinette batted his hand off her and ripped her other hand out of his. “Don't! Don't you dare tell me what I do and don't want. You don't know. You're not in my head. You don't know how I feel. You don't know how hard it is for me to not do this every second we're in a room together. Just let me have this! Let me be free! Let me finally get out of my own way! This isn't about Alya or Nino. This is about me and you and us!”
“Then do it right.” Adrien was calm and gentle, almost pleading.
Marinette shook her head in confusion, “I- I don't-”
“Get out of your own way when you're sober! Marinette. I. Want. To be. With. You! I didn't want to tell you that while you're drunk, though. I don't want us getting together to be something you might not remember - or worse - regret.”
“Adrien.”
“I want this to be true. God! For years I've wanted for this-” he gestured towards Marinette and the bed, “-to all be true. Now that it looks like it is?” He heaved a sigh. “Call me tomorrow. When you're sober. We can pick this up again then. If you still want to.”
She stared at him, her eyes frantically scanning his face. His gaze drifted to her still parted lips. With a subtle shudder, he turned towards the dresser. Closing the music app, he scooped up her phone and handed it to her.
“Come on. Let's get you some water and get back to the party before anyone misses us.”
“Adrien?”
“Hmm?”
“You want me?”
“I mean, yeah?”
“Why didn't you tell me?”
“Why didn't you tell me?”
Marinette folded into herself. “That's kind of apples and oranges, isn't it? I mean. I'm me and you're- you.”
“Exactly. I'm surprised you're so shocked that I'd be too nervous to say anything before.”
“Nervous? But, I'm-”
“One of my first friends? Someone who basically has her pick of guys to choose from? The most amazing and kind person I've ever met? Absolutely gorgeous? Yeah, no. What do I have to be nervous about?”
“Adrien. You were a literal model who lived in a mansion.”
“Point?” He smirked.
“Call me tomorrow? If I forget to? If I get in my own way again?”
He nodded and held out his hooked arm for her. She threaded her arm through his and he escorted her to the kitchen for some water.
.
The next day, she made the phone call they had both been waiting on for years.

"When Adrien finds the cave underneath the mansion, discovering Monarch's identity isn't the worst shock he has that day—learning not even to be human is. With his Lady’s identity in danger and Lila putting her hands on the Peacock, Adrien must make a difficult choice and trust his cousin, of all people, to ensure his sacrifice isn't in vain. Left dealing with the consequences of such a choice, will Marinette resist the urge to forget the void in her heart he left behind? Will she use the Wish to bring him back? Or maybe there’s a different solution?" (Season 5 spoiler)
My work for the Miraculous Big Bang 2022 is finally up!

20 Questions for Fic Writers
Tagged by @ghostcat3000!
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
268
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
1,092,965
3. What fandoms do you write for?
I don't have a regular fandom right now, I mostly just write for exchanges, and usually one-offs. But AO3 lists Superman Returns (2006), Smallville, Community (TV), Forever (TV 2014) and Arrow (TV 2012) at the top of my dashboard - fandoms I was active in during the first 10 years of fic writing.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?*
Heart-Shaped Bruise (Amazing Spider-Man movie, Peter/Flash, 17K words)
Mona Lisa Smile (Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Jake/Holt, 2k words)
Exclusive (The Story of the Century Remix) (Superman/Batman crossover, Clark/Bruce, 356 words)
Hero at Heart (Amazing Spider-Man movie, Peter/Flash, sequel to Heart-Shaped Bruise, 37k words)
Transform (Miraculous Ladybug, Adrien/Ladybug, 43k words)
*If FFN showed kudos or AO3 existed when I started, then Deja Vu (Superman Returns) would be in this list as well.
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Yes. Pretty much within 1-2 days, though spammy comments get a pass.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Um, wow, not sure. Maybe Hero at Heart? The reactions to it are pretty mixed and strong. It was meant to be bittersweet, but I definitely didn't thread the needle between the two as well as I'd hoped.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
99.9% of the rest! Couldn't choose, honestly.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Hero at Heart doesn't really get hate, but yeah. Once I got a Goodreads-style review of Deja Vu on FFN that picked apart every choice they disagreed with.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Sometimes. It's not my go to, but in longer fics I will often add it near the end. Just a few fics are devoted to it.
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
I have - about 11, according to my crossover tag. I think the craziest/most fun one is #AngelAss, a B99/Daredevil crossover.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
As far as I know, no.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
I've had a few fics translated to Russian, but I didn't tag them so I can't remember which ones!
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Yes, I co-wrote a few for Superman Returns and the Raimi Spider-Man films.
14. What’s your all-time favorite ship?
Clark/Lois wins for highest number of words devoted to them. I've written 31 fics in 5 different media adaptations.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
The only WIP I have now is for Yuletide. The other semi-WIPs are abandoned, and tagged that way.
16. What are your writing strengths?
People say that my dialogue is very in-character!
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Descriptions. I tend to move the plot and dialogue along and spend little time setting a scene.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
I have not written any dialogue in another language.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
The Raimi Spider-Man films, specifically post-Spider-Man 2.
20. Favorite fic you’ve written?
Ugh, I could never choose!

And You Thought Your Parents Were Strict... (Miraculous Crack, One-Shot)
The problem with starting a relationship with a (former) teen supermodel is that when his father's secretary catches the two of you kissing on his sofa -- and, rest assured, she will -- a chain of events gets set into motion. Suddenly, you are a variable in Gabriel Agreste's extended business model... one that needs to be examined, tested, probed, classified, legally sanctioned and/or commodified.
On Gabriel's instructions, Nathalie leads Marinette to a gauntlet of obstacles to be cleared before she can return to Adrien's embrace. It's just good business, after all. Surely, Marinette can agree to such trifling demands upon her time and her privacy... right?
One-shot, complete. Crack.
And You Thought Your Parents Were Strict... on FFN / AO3
A teaser...
"All right. I'll leave you here," Nathalie stated. "I will meet you again when you get to room three."
"There are multiple parts to this? Whatever... this is?"
"Oh, yes."
Nathalie took a deep breath, reentering emotionless professional mode...
"Room one, in front of you, is where you will sign the standard non-disclosure agreements," she began. "You will be expected to engage in the utmost discretion regarding your activities with Adrien. You will not disclose to your parents, your friends, or especially the press any information about Adrien's physical features, any peculiarities that you may note about his anatomy..."
"What peculiarities?" interrupted Marinette. "What would be there for me to find?"
"I would not know," shrugged Nathalie. "But neither will the remainder of the Western world. There will be no... gossip about his... strengths or weaknesses, shall we say?"
"I wouldn't know, either," Marinette mumbled, feeling her cheeks reddening.
"There will be no articles on the gossip sites or in the newspapers about what you and Adrien do in private. There will certainly be none about what you do in public, as you will not be doing that sort of thing in public. This includes places that you think are private; an alleyway, the back of a deserted library, an otherwise-unoccupied movie theater... because paparazzi are like cockroaches. They will pop up with cameras flashing in spaces where you couldn't imagine they could ever reach."
"Okay..."
"Any hickeys, bite marks or other blemishes left upon Adrien's visible body may leave you in a very actionable legal position," Nathalie intoned. "I am required to inform you of this according to section three, subclauses five through nine of the standard contract."
"Yikes," gasped Marinette. "Kagami never told me that she had to go through any of this."
"That is because Kagami signed and honored the proper non-disclosure agreements," chuckled Nathalie. "These are not negotiable."
"...Fine."
"Once those have been signed and notarized, you will move to room two, where your medical examination will take place."
"W-what?"

As someone who hasn't engaged much with the Tumblr Side of the miraculous fandom for a long time can you explain to me this place's reputation for salt fics? Every social media platform seems to hate certain characters more than others and I'm aware of Tumblr's preference for certain characters over others. It seems the salt fics and authors have died down since the heights it had in season 3, I try not to pay attention to that stuff cause it seems really dumb. If you could perhaps explain it to someone that's not familiar I'd appreciate it.
The Tumblr crowd tends to be heavily associated with AO3, so there's a lot of similarities between what's popular on AO3 and what's popular on tumblr. The salt fics and authors have massively died down on say, FFN, where they've mostly died out, but they're still going strong on AO3. The saltdom is more quarantined (especially compared to season 3, when it was pretty much unavoidable while still participating in the fandom at all), but it's still pretty strong in the places where it's still around.
Tvtropes has a decent run-down of some of the common Saltfic plots on its Fandom Specific Plots page, so if you want more information, that's a good start.
Basically, the idea is that the author projects onto Marinette, and doesn't really care about most of the other characters, and the other (canonically good) characters tend to be made into horrible people for not being sufficiently loyal to her, in order to justify giving her new friends who worship the ground she walks in and will freely hurt anyone who "mistreated" Marinette.
Luka's often used as her new Love Interest since Adrien's declared to be a sexual harasser and lazy and useless as Chat Noir, and to be a spineless useless doormat for not teaming up with Marinette to try to expose Lila in Chameleon (his later efforts to help Marinette in Ladybug, once he knows that Lila's actually malicious, is usually ignored). Luka basically just revolved around Marinette and never pushed her or seemed to have any desires or baggage of his own in seasons 2 and 3, so he was often used as a partially blank slate who could be altered to be whatever the author thought Marinette's ideal boyfriend should be like, who would care about Marinette's point of view and wellbeing, and ONLY that, with no consideration for anyone else's perspective or feelings, making him the perfect defender for her.
Chloe's particularly popular with the saltdom, especially post-season 3, since a lot of fans feel like she got a raw deal. Though she was popular among the saltdom even back when Chameleon aired, and... honestly for pretty fair reasons? A lot of the earliest Chameleon fics ran with the idea of Lila making good on the threats she'd made, turning Marinette's friends against her. Since Alya and the class in general had shown a susceptibility to Lila's manipulation and lies, it was often assumed that Lila could sufficiently lie and manufacture evidence to fool them into thinking that Marinette wasn't a good person, while Lila wouldn't put in that effort to trick Chloe, who wasn't Marinette's friend, and who also wasn't doing much of anything in Chameleon, so it was unknown whether she was fooled by Lila's lies.
Problem was, that somewhat reasonable plotline kept on being flanderized into making Chloe into being the one person who cared about Marinette and could tell she wouldn't do the things she was accused of, and Alya and the class in general kept on being warped into being horrific bullies who'd physically hurt Marinette, destroy her property, and suicide bait her. And even when that plotline was both thoroughly exhausted AND was proven wrong by canon with "Ladybug" acting as "Chameleon's" follow-up, they still kept going.
A lot of people really like "the main character is horribly mistreated by the people who should always have their back no matter what, so the people who supposedly should be their enemies recognize how horribly they've been mistreated and team up with them instead, inflicting horrific vengeance and punishment on those who didn't treat them the way they deserved" plotlines. You see it commonly in Harry Potter, Pokemon, and more recently, Encanto fics, for example. (the "teaming up with enemies" part is optional. Sometimes the other party is just considered "better" because they're more unquestioningly loyal to the main character).
Anyway, I'm not totally sure if this explanation was what you were looking for, but I tried my best.

Writer Spotlight: JuliaFC!
This month, we are shining the writer spotlight on…JuliaFC!
Tumblr media
JuliaFC has written many Miraculous fanfictions and participated in many fandom events and zines. Her stories are available on AO3, FFN, and Wattpad. We've interviewed her about hier writing, history, advice, and thoughts about the show! Her responses are located below the cut!
Graphics by Kimo
Tumblr media
1-How long have you been creating in general?
Oh, I have been creating on and off almost all my life. I’m a mature writer, so that means many, many years. I think I wrote my first “novel” when I was 15! That was sometime in the past century ^^; so yes, many years of experience here. I started writing fanfictions when I first discovered InuYasha and Harry Potter in the early 2000s. Then I moved to the UK in 2004 and had a few years of hiatus trying to get back on my feet; I had a family and kids and got back to it when the lockdown hit in 2020.
Tumblr media
2-How long have you been creating for the fandom, and what’s your favorite part of the process?
I started creating for the Miraculous fandom in March 2020, when the lockdown first hit. I love the thrill of a new idea when something in the show makes you think, “What if this and this would happen? How would the characters react?” | call it the “Plot Bunny” because it feels as if it pops out of your head like a bunny and then starts hopping around, causing havoc until you begin writing it. I also love discussing my ideas with my selected group of 6 friends I met through Miraculous. We call ourselves the “Evil Bunnies Landmark” because we bounce ideas at each other and discuss them and get them in the best shape. We exchange Christmas and birthday presents and support each other even for real-life problems.
Tumblr media
3-Has there been anything in particular that influences your style?
Read a lot, especially when I was younger.
Authors like J.M. Auel, Orson Scott Card, Stephen King, and Marion Zimmer Bradley have influenced my writing massively: I’ve read plenty of manuals about creative writing and have taken a degree in English Language With Creative Writing module, so there have been plenty of factors to influence me. I just love writing too much ^_^
Tumblr media
4-Do you have any advice you’d like to give to other creators?
Read read read, write, write, write. Read some more; write some more. Keep going. Find a beta reader to bounce ideas off and correct your writing before it gets published.
Tumblr media
5-How do you think the identity reveal is going to go? Feel free to write something quick if you want to! 
I've written so many identities reveal fics! But in canon…? To be honest, although I hope it will happen this season, I don’t think it will. Because Gabriel Agreste being HawkMoth is the main reason why each time they had revealed, they’d had to forget. I want them to remember the next time they reveal, and the only way to do that is after Gabriel’s dealt with it. Emilie will be much more respectful of Adrien’s privacy and she won’t be HawkMoth! <3
Interested in reading some stories written by JuliaFC? Her works can be found on AO3, FFN, and Wattpad.

Profile Masterpost
Hi. WilyGryphon here. How is everyone doing?
What you can expect from me: I write fanfiction and I draw, and I will reflect and provide commentary/reblog commentary and gags that I particularly like on fandoms that I am involved in.
My Works:
Kingdom Hearts - Destiny Vault
My first fanfic. Ongoing. Tells an all new, all different adventure that diverges from canon after KHII. Upon learning that Maleficent and a new foe have gathered an assortment of villains to seek a great power that would change the balance of power—and will cause untold destruction in order to get it—the heroes unite and go on a quest to thwart them. Along the way, they learn of and work to solve the problems faced by friends old and new.
Fic: FFN AO3 Tags: X
Heart of Steel
Fusion Fic Crossover Saga between Kingdom Hearts and the Arrowverse (will ultimately expand into greater Disney and DC Comics lore). Sora and Kara Zor-El are adopted siblings, and they journey together with Donald and Goofy to save the worlds from the forces of Darkness.
Fic: FFN AO3 Tags: X
Non-Penned AUs
Miraculous Ladybug Rewrite
How I would redo the story of Miraculous Ladybug if I were to do so. Notable details would be: Chloé gets a redemption that sticks; Gabriel is more consistent in terms of his standards and what he is willing to do for his goal; Season 3 finale identity reveal; and Adrigaminette endgame. Here
Gryphonverse
A massive multimedia multi-fandom Crossover which I am currently outlining. Includes several different works that take place in the same world (and some that are in different worlds but tie in with the others; they all share the same continuity). Here
The Key to the Miraculous (KH + ML Crossover)
Sora winds up in the Miraculous Ladybug universe after the events of KH3, and he ends up befriending the cast and joining forces with Ladybug and Chat Noir. Here
Unforgotten - ML Oblivio AU
Ladybug and Chat Noir do not lose their memories between getting hit by Oblivio and the Miraculous Cure, so they remember learning each other's identities and falling in love. How things deviate from canon with them knowing each other and dating from that point. Here
Lacewing and Blue Peacock
The Black Cat and Ladybug Miraculouses are in the hands of two separate villains—Gabriel Agreste and Martina Rossi—who go at each other's throats trying to claim the other's Miraculous. To combat this, Master Fu gives the Butterfly Miraculous to Marinette and the Peacock Miraculous to Adrien. As Lacewing and Blue Peacock, the young Holders empower civilians as Champions and grant support Sentimonsters to help them with their problems and to prevent Shadow Panther and Coccinella from destroying the city in their conflict. Here
Double Bug (Miraculous Ladybug AU)
Marinette successfully passes the Ladybug earrings to Alya, who becomes Scarabella, but Alya learns what happens and convinces Marinette to tag-team the role of Ladybug hero. Here
Deadlybug
Ladybug and Chat Noir confront Monarch, but Monarch sends out a Megakuma to Akumatize Chat Noir. Fearing a Chat Blanc repeat, Ladybug intercepts the Akuma, becoming Akumatized in the process. Here
Ladybug of Light, Cat of Darkness
Kingdom Hearts/Miraculous Ladybug Fusion. Childhood friends Marinette, Adrien and Chloé are separated when their island homeworld is consumed by the Heartless and Akumas. As Ladybug and Chat Noir, Marinette and Adrien meet up in Traverse Town, but they do not know who the other really is, even as they journey together with Donald and Goofy to fight the forces of Darkness and search for Chloé. Here
Ragnarok de Dies Irae
Post-KH3 Epic where recent crises have destabilized barriers in space-time, resulting in sealed gods returning to threaten the worlds. The Guardians of Light work to stop these entities and restore order to the worlds. Meanwhile, Sora works to protect the stability from a different plane of existence while searching for a way back home. Here

Lifetime of love
AO3 / FFN
Pairing - Adrinette + Ladynoir
Prompt - ‘Generational Knowledge’
Summary - 
"How...how did you open this up? The technique has been lost for thousands and thousands of years! Only passed by to one another by generation to generation!" He demanded enthusiastically, hands on her shoulders and shaking her tiny body. "This can't be done by pure luck alone! I refuse to believe it! O-Or are you one of those super smart middle schoolers I see on Internet articles who can do anything they set their minds to-"
"M-M-Monsieur! I can assure you that I was just playing around. You're making me a little dizzy," Thankfully, before the curator could rattle what was left of her working brain cells, a very firm pair of hands gripped his wrists and then tugged him off the girl. The man was met with sharp emerald greens which he met by having to look up a bit since the teen was much taller than him in comparison (unfairly so too because dammit, he's in his mid-twenties and this boy is probably fifteen at best!)
"Shake her up any further and she'll turn into a dizzy, babbling mess," Adrien teased, gently pushing Marinette's face into his chest and holding her securely and protectively. As if they're longtime, inseparable soulmate lovers.
(Or, wielding the miraculous of creation and destruction enables the users to inherit their predecessors’ knowledge and information and all sorts of things)
~(x)~ . . . She was all instinct and muscle memory, her mind not clearly registering with what her body was doing when she picked up the ancient artefact that the curator introduced to her class during their trip to le musée. Her ears were deaf to his inquisitive and wary questionings which soon then turned into bewildered gasps of awe and utter delight as she brought the fragile contraption to life. What was once a seemingly dull and forgotten machine was now something so much more and just absolutely magical. The curator was gobsmacked. As if all she did was look at it, Marinette nonchalantly placed the item back in its original place, only for the curator to pick it back up with unadulterated shock and hands trembling with awed bewilderment. "How...how did you open this up? The technique has been lost for thousands and thousands of years! Only passed by to one another by generation to generation!" He demanded enthusiastically, hands on her shoulders and shaking her tiny body. "This can't be done by pure luck alone! I refuse to believe it! O-Or are you one of those super smart middle schoolers I see on Internet articles who can do anything they set their minds to-" "M-M-Monsieur! I can assure you that I was just playing around. You're making me a little dizzy," Thankfully, before the curator could rattle what was left of her working brain cells, a very firm pair of hands gripped his wrists and then tugged him off the girl. The man was met with sharp emerald greens which he met by having to look up a bit since the teen was much taller than him in comparison (unfairly so too because dammit, he's in his mid-twenties and this boy is probably fifteen at best!) "Shake her up any further and she'll turn into a dizzy, babbling mess," Adrien teased, gently pushing Marinette's face into his chest and holding her securely and protectively. As if they're longtime, inseparable soulmate lovers. "Humans are known to lose and discover skills and techniques time and time again. And Marinette in particular is especially smart. Very, very smart. It's no wonder she worked that thing out so easily," "Oh, I do apologise for being so desperate and silly. I just...wow...she's a literal miracle worker. I'd love for you to have a look at the other stuff we have, Mademoiselle. Marinette? We have so many interesting artefacts and your tinkering and curiosity would be a great assistance for us all," The curator pleaded, hands clasped together and eyes shining like a golden retriever. Much to his confusion and Adrien's endearment, Marinette barely slurred out an answer and still swayed on her feet. "Oh no, Monsieur. I think you broke her," Adrien giggled, the curator on the other hand immediately panicked on the spot animatedly and sprinted away to fetch her some water with apologies being repeated over and over again. "And there he goes~" He brought themselves to a bench nearby, the blond glad that the rest of their class was still distracted by the exhibition and were too far away to have noticed the little commotion. He had her all to himself now, his inner kitten purring with shameless delight. "Adrien? Ermm..." Marinette gained back her bearings, her face cutely timid and her baby blues like sparkling glitter under her dark lashes and midnight hair. "Hehe...I guess I just got in the zone and just had to figure that contraption out," A beautiful pink bloomed in her cheeks when Adrien squeezed her hands tenderly, placing one of his own on her soft face to cradle it sweetly and his eyes just full of warmth and adoration. She didn't know what to make of this soul-searching expression, as if he knew every single bit of her and that he undeniably loved what he saw. "You really are amazing, Marinette," The 'My Lady' went unspoken under his tongue but the way he breathed out her name was full of absolute love and reverence. This time, her face erupted in red and all that she could do was hide her face in his chest, making him laugh in return and hold her tight. His Lady was just too cute. ~(x)~ Chat Noir knew that his Lady was spying on him as he scribbled away translations of a lost piece of writing from thousands of years ago (which he photographed from the exhibition they visited not too long ago as civilians), his lips resting in a playful smirk as he felt her pretty eyes bore into his frame whilst hiding behind a chimney a good distance away. It was frankly just too cute and the feline within him was practically begging to pounce on her and kiss her face all over. "Come on out, Marinette~! I know you're over there," He finally spoke after finishing with the translations, faux ears flicking from the sound of her surprised "Eeep!". The hero then turned around as she finally showed herself, her walk awkward and her face plastered with fake confusion. "Mari-who? It's just me, Chat Noir," The maniacal laugh that left her pretty pink lips said otherwise and he couldn't help but hopelessly sigh with endearment and love. Placing his hands on hers and bringing them to his mouth for a tender, traditional kiss, he kept his emerald greens on her. "Your Chaton is feeling a little hurt that you think he's that dumb," He batted his long lashes, eating up the adorable redness that crept up on the apples of her cheeks and turned her complexion into a beautiful bloom of sakura and plum blossoms. "Ma-ri-nette~" This time, he nudged his nose with hers, grin widening when her body relaxed at his touch and a kissable pout remained on her dewy lips. Sweet, sugary, rosy lips that begged to be kissed over and over again until all she could rasp is his name- "Chat Noir...how? Comment tu sais? Do you realise how much time and effort I put in to keep you off my trail? All the plans I had to come up with?" She lightly scolded, allowing herself to be embraced in his willing arms whilst he laughed in the crook of her neck, more than delighted. "Because I'm your smart Chaton. Yours. All yours~" He purred, both of them sinking to their knees on the rooftop and holding each other tight. "And time and effort my foot! You always invite me over to your balcony whenever you see me. You're practically saying 'Oh it's me! Your Lady! Can't you tell as I kick your ass in UMS?'" His false falsetto earned him another playful slap on the chest which he simply laughed off merrily. "Maybe I just wanted to spend time with my partner- and I do not sound like that. Hmmph!" She muttered, pushing him away by pressing a finger against his nose and then her eyes landed on the translations he was working on. Her baby blues widened when the understanding clicked in. "Oh- you...you too, huh?" He turned back slightly to pick up his work, placing them in his Lady's hands who looked at the pieces with wonderment. "One of my predecessors wrote this," Chat Noir sighed happily, tail curling around his Lady's waist as her face reddened even further the more she digested the information, virtually blending in with her iconic super-suit. The boy was merely a pinch away from trying to make her even redder with his lips alone. "It's...it's a love letter...a very passionate one...oh..." She couldn't help the squeak that left her, now hiding her face in her hands as she came across the more intimate and amorous parts of the writing, the girl was far too embarrassed to keep reading and the air was suddenly too hot. Way too hot. "Mmhmm, for his Ladybug," The softness in her partner's voice had Ladybug watch him again, their eyes meeting and trapping one another under their gaze. "She was his wife. They had a family...and they grew old together. It's...it's nice to see," He then became despondent, his grip on her hands tightening and his belt tail becoming flack around her torso. She realised why. "He's one of the few ones to have had a happy ending, right?" Ladybug smoothed her fingers through his golden hair, letting him rest his forehead on hers. "I'm sorry," "Why are you apologising? It's not your fault," "I know...but most of my predecessors survived because of yours sacrificing themselves to save them..." "Because all of us love all of you. One way or another. Be it family, friendship, rivalry...and..." His plush lips were now brushing hers, their fingers entwined and their hearts beating in tandem. "The way I love you, Marinette," From the soft feathers of his warm lips upon hers, Ladybug was no longer able to hold back. "Adrien..." And then the rest of her words were swallowed by his loving kisses. . . . ~(x)~

Latest Story: Never Take This for Granted
Who’s ready for probably the shortest ficlet I’ve written for this fandom?
Well, I woke up this morning with (more-or-less) these exact thoughts in my own head, and something told me that Adrien would probably have them too. Maybe it's because I see myself in him a little bit. Maybe because I think he'd learn the same lessons I did with regards to losing a parent. I lost my dad roughly the same age that Adrien lost Emile. While my mom did not end up neglectful, abusive, manipulative, nor a terrorist, much like Gabriel, my mom did make it well known how hurt she was to have lost her spouse. I felt the pain of her realizing she lost the love of her life too early in life (she wasn't even 40) and after far too few years together. I praise my mom for the strength she has shown through the years and how – unlike Gabriel – her love for my dad made her stronger and helped carry her forward.
I know from experience that loves cannot last forever, and may very well be ripped from you too soon. Which is probably why I had these thoughts (ones I frequently have, if I'm honest) when I awoke, and why I feel Adrien might have them too. So, enjoy my morning thoughts, as told by Adrien.
(If you want that extra ambiance, I had the song "Ceilings" by Lizzy McAlpine stuck in my head while I was writing this)
Summary: Adrien awakes overwhelmed with gratitude to be married to Marinette.
Rating: General Audience
Word Count: 420
Status: completed one-shot

Never Take This for Granted
Adrien awoke before their alarm. The gentle sunlight through their curtains was enough to stir him. The laundry list of things that needed to be done raced through his mind, and he debated taking advantage of the early start to the day.
Then Marinette softly snored beside him.
With a smile, he knew his place was in bed. At least, for a little while longer. He shifted so he could spoon his wife; careful not to move her or wake her. He rested his hand on her hip, and closed his eyes to the world so he could soak her in with his other senses.
They had been together for twenty years, but it still felt like not enough time. He knew that twenty years was both an amazing gift and just a drop in a hat. The duality of it being exceptionally long and tragically short. He needed another twenty years. Forty. Sixty. Eighty! No matter how long they had, it would always be too short.
“Please,” he silently prayed. He wasn't sure to whom, but to any and every Greater Power there might be. He wordlessly screamed his plea to the cosmos. “Please, never let me take this for granted. Have me always be comforted by her body heat against me. Let me always find her quiet breathing soothing. Let my hand always feel at home on her hip. Let her smell always lull me. Let the fact that I wake up with her beside me always amaze me a little bit. Let me feel lucky that I have her in my life; always. Forever. Please, please. Don't ever let me take her for granted. Let me memorize every morning I have beside her.”
He wanted to squeeze her. Hold her closer. Never let her go. Prove to himself that she was there and real and not going anywhere.
But he couldn't chance waking her. He couldn't chance ruining this moment. Clinging tight to her would never improve what he had in that instance.
So, he comforted himself with his legs tucked within the nook of hers, and his hand on her hip. That was enough. That grounded him. That was the proof he needed that she was there and he'd be alright for another day.
The sun flooded the room in a golden glow. Adrien didn't see it though. He kept his eyes closed, focused on the warmth of his wife beside him, and fell back asleep until the alarm rudely interrupted their quiet slice of paradise.
