Here’s the cover page to an AU that I’ve been working on, Friends & Foes! 
After the events of The Collector, Marinette is forced to come to terms with the idea that Adrien is most likely Papillon. Now that she knows the face behind the mask, she’s more determined than ever to befriend Adrien and convince him to join the side of good...
The only problem being Adrien is most definitely not the Papillon.
Unfortunately, the only person who could have cleared up this misunderstanding, the Guardian of the Miraculous, has once again gone into hiding, leaving room for misunderstandings to bloom- amongst other things.

AN: I saw this video and then I felt the urge to write this… I’m sorry
Rating: General Audiences
Relationship: Adrienette :)
What to expect: Angst, Major Character Death, Hurt no Comfort, I’m sorry guys…
Summary: In some timelines, everything works out. They get married, have a few kids, and grow old together. In other timelines, every thing that can go wrong, does go wrong. The world ends, one of them dies, one of them is on the wrong side of things, or something else. Sometimes it’s all of the above.
But there was one thing that always stayed the same… “You’re gonna love her until the day you die,” Alix tells him.
“Well,” he says with a grin, “I guess that’s all I need to know then, right?”
———— Or: Adrien asks Alix if him and Marinette will grow old together. Neither of them knew that this was going to happen.
(Continuing reading under the cut or on AO3)
“Hey, Alix,” Adrien starts, and she has a feeling he‘s going to ask something she can’t really tell him about, “I wanted to ask, do Marinette and I grow old together?”
Alix rolls her eyes, of course she was right. He’s always been so curious about his future with Marinette. In so many timelines he’s asked about their relationship, whether it be as Chat Noir asking about his relationship with Ladybug, or as Adrien asking about his relationship with Marinette. And how is she supposed to answer?

But there was one thing that always stayed the same… “You’re gonna love her until the day you die,” Alix tells him. 
“Well,” he says with a grin, “I guess that’s all I need to know then, right?”
She tries to smile back, but it doesn’t feel very genuine. She doesn’t know what’s going to happen in this timeline. There are so many things that can change the outcome. She just hopes it’s nothing too bad. 
————
Marinette was in danger. That’s the only thing that registers in his mind before Adrien leaps into action, shoving her out of harms way. He feels the impact of the car hitting his side. Pain crackles through his body as he crashed onto the ground. He groans, vision white from the pain.
The car leaves the scene as quickly as it entered it. Marinette rushes back to his side as soon as it’s gone, tears in her eyes. His vision is blurry, but from what he can tell, she’s unharmed. The relief makes him smile.
Marinette frowns at him, brows furrowed as her shaking hands hover over his body, like she’s not sure where to touch him. Like she’s not sure if she can. “How can you be smiling at a time like this? You’re— oh god, you—“ She breaks off with a sob and it hurts his heart to see her cry. Vaguely, Adrien thinks there’s a crowd forming, but he’s not too sure.
“Marinette,” he murmurs, trying to respond to her question, and why does it hurt so much to speak? “I’m glad you’re ok.” And, oh, he thinks he might be crying as well. (Or maybe the warm liquid sliding down his face is blood. He doesn’t want to think about that.)
Marinette shakes her head, her voice unsteady, “But what about you, you stupid cat?” She’s holding his face now, her eyes scanning all over it. In the distance, he faintly hears sirens.
He slowly reaches up with his slightly less injured arm to hold her forearm, trying to reassure her that everything was going to be ok. But he knows that it won’t be. He can feel himself growing weaker, and his eyelids have never felt so heavy before.
“I love you,” Adrien whispers.
Marinette’s eyes widen with fear as she replies, “I love you, too, but please, don’t say it like that. Don’t say it like you’re leaving me.” She presses a kiss to his forehead. “Please don’t leave me,” she whispers. He hates how broken she sounds, how panicked she seems, but he’s glad he’s the one that took the hit instead of her.
As Adrien feels himself fade away, the only thing he can find himself thinking about is that Alix was right. He really would love Marinette until the day he died. He just didn’t think the day would come so soon.

So I calculated the exact screen time of all the love square ships in season 1
Yeah, it's exactly what it says. With 99% accuracy I went through all the episodes of season 1, calculated the exact screen time of ever love square ship in every episode, added them all up and made charts to compare them.
But first of all, where did I get the idea to do this? Well, I was looking through Tumblr and I so a post by someone called purrincess-chat answering an ask about Adrienette in Season 5 and in her reply she mentioned how Ladynoir and Adrien have around the same screen time in seasons 1-4 with Ladynoir having slightly more and that is simply reversed in season 5 with some Maricat and Ladrien sprinkled here and there. So that made me wonder: how much really is the distribution of screen time between the love square ships? So I did this, starting with season 1. But before we get into the results...
Some Ground Rules
What does and doesn't count as screen time for a particular ship? Here are the rules I laid out:
Both characters of the ship must be present in the scene for it to count. That's means no scenes of Marinette fawning over ads and pictures of Adrien or Adrien swooning over the fact that the love letter he found in "Dark Cupid" might be from Ladybug.
At least one of characters of the ship must be reacting to the presence of the other character for it to count or at least doing something together. We can't have Maribug and Adricat both just doing their own separate thing acting like background characters and call that shipping content.
If one or both of the characters believe that there are speaking with the alter ego of the other character, then it counts as screen time for that ship. Meaning when Ladybug goes to check on Adrien in "Volpina" and Cat Noir pretends to be his civilian self taking a shower, it counts as Ladrien screen time, not Ladynoir.
Now that that's dealt with let's get into the distribution.
Screen Time Distribution
To the surprise of absolutely no one, Ladynoir dominated season 1, having 76% of the total love square screen time. Makes sense, right? There's an akuma every episode so there's Ladynoir ever episode and since this is season 1, it's more focused on the strict formula rather than some actual development between the other ships.
Coming in a definitely-not-close second is Adrienette with 18.5% of the total love square screen time. No surprises here. Adrienette along with Ladynoir are the main 2 ships while Maricat and Ladrien are simply the side ships. Plus, it's not often for just one of them to be transformed.
Speaking of which, Maricat and Ladrien come in 3rd and 4th with 3% and 2.5% of the total love square screen time respectively and pretty close to each other, Maricat having a slight edge over Ladrien.
Tumblr media
Now let's see the trend across the episodes.
Screen Time Trend
For the most part, Ladynoir is on a completely different level than the other ships, only temporarily being dethroned for one episode- that episode being "Gamer"- by Adrienette which was the episode they both practiced for the Ultimate Mecha Strike Tournament and we got some Adrienette bonding with Marinette giving Adrien her lucky charm bracelet. Other than that, it's been on top the whole time, with there even being episodes with solely Ladynoir screen time and having an average of 4 min 22 sec of screen time per episode, with most screen time being in "Animan" (8 min 28 sec) and least being in "Pixelator" (1 min 3 sec) a.k.a the episode where Adrien was stuck in the titular villain's prison dimension for most of the episode. It mellowed down a little towards the end of the season due to there being more plot relevant stuff in those episodes than akuma battle but picked itself right back up for the finale.
Adrienette stayed fairly low in screen time and having screen time in most episodes having a huge spike in the episodes "Kung Food" to "Animan", even temporarily dethroning Ladynoir like I mentioned before with 6 min 28 sec of screen time.
Finally, Maricat and Ladrien had a few small to moderate spikes here and there with some even being two episodes in a row and Ladrien having most of it's screen time towards the end of season 1.
Tumblr media
Conclusion
Yeah, so that's it. I'm going to be doing these after I complete every season so keep a look out.

Im so sorry the ML fandom has been treating you so badly, you deserve much better
Thank you
It was weird though, because out of nowhere my ML art started getting notes and some asshole started spamming my inbox with "draw hugo, emma and louis with Marinette" over and over as it i was some kind of slave???
My blog has never EVER been one fandom only. My first post here was about HTTYD, then i have been jumping over and over
I don't know what kind of entitlement the ML fandom has about artists that think they can demand art from us and if it's not a 10 long page comic with a funny joke by the end of it, you dont get traction either way.
And i have never said anything about the asks demanding me to read Lady Scarlet or Buggachat's comics. I have respect for the artists but i got tired of those ask as well, and i had some instance in someone tagging my art as it if was Bugga's. You know how hurt i was that moment? And no, i dont blame Bugga, but the fans that put artists in a pedestal thinking any fan thingy is better than the original show, something even Bugga has said they dont like at all.
But the fandom doesnt listen, they just want their joke, their shitpost being made, instead of being a community. We used to be, i remember the days when we waited patiently for fans to translate every Sunday all the episode in french, we made chain posts with characters in our style, the drawing pile of Adrienette sleeping, the Break Dance AU that was such a hit!!
But now? It's just fans wanting their fanservice, how much they can complain and how much they can spoil stuff. And it has tired me. And im... pissed and sad that the new fans wont ever get to enjoy that.
I want to come back, but not like this. I don't want to be bitter because i still love the show. And until the fandom gets better im going to stay away.

Thoughts on conformation and recreation
Going to put heavy spoilers and theory stuff under a cut but just starting off saying I liked it. I do feel negative about certain aspects but I’m 90% certain that was intended. We’re supposed to be going ‘wait a minute’ about this ending.
The action was amazing and the animation gorgeous in parts. I really like BugNoire’s design.
Overall it didn’t disappoint me which I feel is the only thing and ending shouldn’t do. You can happy, mad, sad etc. about an ending but those emotions are most of the time intentional. But if it comes with disappointment then something has gone wrong. (Excluding minor stuff)
Anyway time to get specific
I love the mystery we still have with all that happened. I think it’s concluded what needed to end and left us with questions to answer in the following two seasons.
Are we supposed to think this was a ‘good/happy’ ending?
What’s up with Gimmi?
Will Marinette tell Adrien/ will Adrien find out and how will it impact both of them?
Is it Emilie or Amelie?
Who the heck visited Lila at the end?
What’s going to happen next?
Those are the questions I see people asking and trying to answer. None of those questions feel unanswerable and it’s plenty of fodder for speculation and fics in the coming year as we wait for season 6. I do want to know whether the special is pre or post season 5 because that will definitely affect things. I can’t see the reveal happening in a special but it’s certainly something to think about.
I think what made the finale special is the many layers it has, things that at first viewing you might miss. For example I saw someone in the last hour point out Marinette quite literally had a nightmare about what would happen if she reacted harshly (aka killed that motherfucker gabe) towards Monarch. Even though Marinette is shown to be an empathetic character and would probably try to talk it out anyway if she saw victory through it, that nightmare definitely pushed her to be more trusting.
In a way it worked. I believe that Gabriel’s wish was to trade his life for Nathalie’s and be able to join Emile. Marinette’s passion sort of proved to him that there were people who cared about Adrien still around even though he’d run out of time by the time he’d realised that neither Emile or Adrien wanted this.
He’s still a villain, he died a villain but that minor change of heart (as he said to Gimmi for his desire to simply read his heart) ensured Adrien would have Nathalie as a parental figure, maybe even bringing Amelie over to take more active care in her nephew and the freedom to be with Marinette, a girl who proved in Gabriel’s last moments that she would love Adrien no matter what. He’s still a villain in that his narcism demanded Marinette not to reveal the truth, remade the world to praise him for his sacrifice and probably a whole bunch of other issues that will unravel in season 6.
(In terms of him and Emile ascending, I don’t believe Gabriel got to go to ‘heaven’ or dragged Emile down to ‘hell’. He just got to be with her and got to have a peaceful death where they can be buried side by side. He isn’t getting an eternal reward for this.)
((If turns out to be Emile alive we’ll just have to see))
Whatever happened, there is obviously something wrong with this new world. It goes against all the motifs set up in previous episodes. I agree with the consensus that we are not supposed to feel entirely good about this ending. Uneasy for the future, nervous for Adrienette, curious about how it’ll unfold.
My feelings about the finale will probably change with season 6 coming out.
(Istg if when Lila-moth is taken down it’s not both Adrien and Marinette I will scream. Let them defeat her together. I get why they couldn’t be together for Gabriel, Adrien would still freak (especially with the nightmares) and he’s still under Gabriel’s control. I’d hoped they’d make it work but I think all the previous reveals/endings proved they couldn’t both take him down. Adrien would be made too fragile and Gabriel is difficult to reason with. I think the only thing that made him a little bit more able to listen to reason was because he was dying so the wish would have had to fix that too etc.)

Questions for Princess Bee au, since you said you were following but soft rewriting events in S4 and S5, if these are things that you've thought of:
How does Lila's whole 'three mom scam + lair in the catacombs' thing work? Are you ignoring it bc of how nonsensical it is? Bc like, the only way I personally can think to make that plot work at all, au or cannon, is by using that 'Lila has been a Senti the whole time who was made a long time ago with the purpose of stirring up shit and antagonizing Miraculous users and that how she's pulling everything off' idea that someone brought up a while ago.
Is the Derision prank being ignored or rewritten? I know you hate it and the episode, and Chloe being Heather Chandler levels of cruel and feared pre-Origins is not gonna be a thing in this, but the prank itself doesn't seem much worse than some of the stuff Chloe did in S1, at least to me, so im curious what you're gonna do with that
((is Kim still gonna be dumber than two turnips in a rain barrel?))
What happened with Gabriel? Are you keeping him going full bastard post-Miracle Queen, or going to go the HC route with him? If you're settled on the Wish being used by Adrienette to stop him, I'm assuming he soundly lost, no statue or being remembered as a hero for him. Is he in jail?
((Also, is Natalie just dead if Gabriel didn't get the Wish?))
If you're keeping Feligami but making it a bit healthier, are you working with them and Adrien being Sentimonsters, or is that being thrown out?
Okay so! Lotta things!
Lila may be put on a slight backburner for now. I will scrap the three moms plot, because that's just??? How the fuck does she pull that off?? As far as Canon, she was still a teen who was going down a dark path and in this AU she unfortunately didn't get help and has continued said dark path. How much she's done in the meantime is up in the air, but having her still as a con artist is probably on the table. That said, I need to hammer out her motivations and what she plans to do should she get the Miraculous because like. As petty as she is I'm not going to say she's still miffed about Marinette calling her on her shit.
Derision is.... kinda both? I have a rewrite for this anyway but short version: yes Chloé was a bully and pulled pranks. This was another prank. No, not everyone was scared of her it's still the Origins-level and the prank wasn't quite as cruel because no feelings were involved(also maybe fake spiders instead of real ones). I'm saving Kim's character by 1.) having him semi-unaware of the prank? LIke Chloé tells him they're pulling a prank and he's on board but he doesn't know what's in the box and also 2.) afterward he's like 'yeah no that one was mean' instead of 'it's just a prank bro!'. Mari was hurt by it but not Super Extremely Traumatized™, and it has nothing to do with her stalking Adrien(that was just her being a bit lovesick and she addresses it in a much healthier way another time)
Gabriel is.... a bit up in the air. I am going with his Season 4-5 self so I'm not redeeming him. I can't /quite/ figure out a way he'd win that would have Mari and Adrien resort to using the Wish to stop him without having him use the Wish first and they reverse it. So either they reverse his Wish, or Gabriel's Wish in the first place included blocking all of the other Miraculous Users from being able to use the Miraculous so they can't undo his Wish. I'll debate on what to do with this one, and we also debate on Emilie and Nathalie's fates. If they reverse the Wish then Gabriel's probably alive but in jail and the Team would spend time finding how to fix Emilie and Nathalie(probably gonna be nice and fix them). If it's just Gabe gets the Wish and blocks them from fixing it, then he's dead but Nathalie and Emilie are fixed. Sill have to debate on /how/ he manages to get the Wish because I don't want Marinette to be a fucking moron but ya know.
I am working with the Sentikids plot! But I'm adjusting a few things!!
1.) Adrien, Felix and Kagami are Special and the other Sentis aren't Sapient Beings, so there's no moral issue over how many Mari killed or Felix making tool ones like Red Moon and OUAT. With this also comes the option to free them from their Amok's control.
2.) I'm having Tomoe be a lot better. She loves Kagami, though she did have her business deals with Gabriel. She's not as much a part of the supervillain thing past 'Gabriel has the Peacock and he can snap my daughter out of existence so I will do what he asks'. She's far from perfect, but her hands are tied for a while. And even when Felix gets the Peacock, not only is she unsure of if Felix is a threat to Kagami or not, but she's also in too deep and if Gabriel goes down so does she
3.) I'm bringing Felix's whole thing down a LOT of notches. He doesn't hate all of Humanity, he just hates the few in specific who treat him and the others like tools. So in Emotion, he only kills Gabriel and Tomoe, knowing Gabriel is like Colt and assuming Tomoe is as well when he finds out Kagami is a Senti. He does realize he's wrong later when he's eavesdropping and trying to find ways to get Kagami out of her situation and sees that her mother loves her. Their romance is also more slowburn instead of immediately hooking up.
Also an overall change: Adrien knows about what's going on and we have a proper reveal goddamn it!!

I truly believe that the only way Adrienette could break up this next season, (or like any other seasons) is if Marinette is the one to break with him, because she feels guilty about lying to him.
Listen I don't think a reveal is that near to the point of Adrien breaking up with her because she lied to him, at least for this season (although I don't actually believe he would break up with her, he would be pissed yes, but I don't think to the point of breaking up), and like for him to find out she lied about it there has to be a reveal, I think that there are countless of ways in which he could find out the truth about his father, without Marinette, or Ladybug, in a non reveal context, telling him anything, in that case there would be a major him being pissed at Ladybug, but that's not the point of the post.
I'm pretty sure that if they wanna go the breakup route, which who knows, miraculous is pretty good at doing stuff you would never expect, they first would show us a honey moon kind of phase in the first few episodes, then show us Marinette's crushing guilt about lying to him and all that stuff, and only then I think it could be a reason for them to break up, although very briefly, because let's be honest, Adrien truly loves her and would never let her sabotage herself like that in their relationship, although it could bring up some types of acknowledgement from Marinette that there's something being hidden between them, how they would fix it, who knows, but that's how I think a probable break up would have to go for it to make some sort of sense.

I saw a post before(lost track of it), that mentioned some cute stuff about Adrienette now that we're actually here, and it got me thinking... I wrote a scenario in a fanfic that Adrien, as a loving boyfriend/husband, gifted Marinette random plushies over the years—most of them black cats causeofcoursetheyare. So I imagine the pre-reveal, Adrienette cuteness as follows:
Adrien adores her and just wants to gift her with plushies cause she looked in one's general direction once and said it was cute.
They're all black cats because he's also a goofy butthead and he knows Marinette super-liked his own alter-ego enough to kiss him.
And o'course, Marinette being the smart cookie that she is, eventually catches on and becomes suspicious.
Marinette: *staring down her pile of black cats* Adrien, is there something you're trying to tell me?
Adrien: Oh, I probably did not think this one through.
Marinette: Are you—
Adrien: Oh geeze—
Marinette: In love with Chat Noir?
Adrien: ...
Adrien: Yup, you got me.
(bonus ending)
Marinette: I'm only forgiving you because I understand how wonderful and lovable Chat Noir is.
Adrien: Marry me.

This is my obligatory movie review post.
And it was fine! I enjoyed watching it, the visuals were stunning, I liked most of the songs... my time wasn't wasted. But it wasn't... great.
Let's get the good stuff out of the way first.
I like Gabriel's arc in this movie. He's clearly not an abusive asshole like he is in the show, and it's pretty clear he's distant from Adrien because of his grief, not because he's an abusive controlling jackass. It really hammers in that he's deeply regretful about what he's doing once he finds out it's his son, unlike show Gabe who beat his own son up after finding out he was Chat Noir.
Marinette was really great in this movie. I like her character here and how she's finding out who she is and what she wants to do, and is learning to be more confident in herself. It works well without the large plot points in the show.
I like the songs. This seems to be a controversial opinion for some reason. But I like them. Gabe's villain song is the best song fight me.
Again, the visuals? Beautiful. Everything looked amazing and everyone was so pretty.
The villains were entertaining.
The scenes with Marinette being embarrassed by her dad were fun. It didn't really go anywhere as a plot point, and they should have done more with it, but I liked the idea.
I like how the movie gave Tikki some more character. Her excitement about adventure and her desire for danger? Love it. She's an adrenaline junkie and I'm here for it.
Master Fu works so much better as a cryptic, mysterious old man who just pops up out of nowhere to be funny and weird than as the shitty mentor he was in the show who we were supposed to take seriously. I actually enjoy his character here.
It was nice of them to show Luka going to the same school as everyone else lol.
I love movie Nino so much you guys.
LADYNOIR
But seriously, that Ladynoir song? Love it. I'm going to rewatch it over and over. Ladynoir won this movie.
But that being said, there are plenty of flaws too.
It was so rushed. Like, super rushed. Everyone just went from 0 to 180 real quick. It started out at a nice pace, but then it all just felt like they were crossing out bullet points on their notepads without taking the time to flesh things out.
The rules for the Miraculous are so inconsistent and vague. I don't actually mind this that much, but it's still kind of annoying.
Adrien doesn't have much going for him in this movie. It's still better than the show in that he actually got to confront Gabriel and take part in the final battle, but other than that, he didn't have much of an arc. It could have been better if they showed more interactions between him and Ladybug, but he went straight from being annoyed by her to being in love with her, and a montage isn't really enough for development. His arc had a good start and a good end but very little in between, so it didn't work all that well. It's not even clear why he was chosen for the Miraculous. We also didn't actually get that much between him and Gabe, so the ending moment between them kind of fell flat for me. But it was still pretty emotional.
This is also the case for Adrienette. The way Marinette met him wasn't as impactful as in the show, and there was little to no development between them. It would have felt more realistic for Marinette to like him if we had gotten to see them interact more. They could have showed him telling her about his mother in an actual scene rather than shoving it into a montage. As it is, it feels like she just likes him for his pretty face.
They should have let Christina Vee sing the songs. The person who sings for Marinette has a lovely voice and I do think her voice works well in the songs, but it's so jarring to go from Christina's voice to hers. They aren't similar in the slightest. It was better for Adrien.
The final battle was pretty anticlimactic ngl. Part of it is because of the rushed character arcs, and that made the payoff less impactful. But other than, it was still kind of low key. I enjoyed the battle in that Carnival better.
No iconic Miraculous Ladybug! No Lucky Charm.
Plagg. Plagg. PLAGG. PLAGG. They massacred my boy. His only personality is cheese and farting. Like, he's farting constantly. His bond with Adrien was non-existent. This is easily the worst part of the movie. I hate it. I hate it so much.
They ruined Plagg.
They ruined Plagg.
...Watermelon??
They ruined Plagg.
And yeah, that's about it!
All in all, it's a good experience. It's fun and enjoyable, the characters are nice. They are pretty different from their show versions. Especially Adrien, who's more about not getting close to anyone because he lost his mom in the movie, when his show version was about breaking free from his isolation and wanting to connect with others. But obviously, this is a different canon on its own and wants to show a different interpretation of the characters. It's alright.
It definitely has a lot of flaws, but also a lot of good points. Just like the show. I wouldn't say I like the movie more than the show. It's good for what it is, but I still prefer the characters and dynamics as they were in the series. Which is not to say that no one else should like the movie better, it's just not for me. I don't think they are really comparable anyway, because a movie is very different from a series.
For me, the thing is, I really love the show. And that's why Season 5 pissed me off so much. Because I love the show and it disappointed me. I wouldn't waste my energy on it so much if I didn't like it. And I did like the movie, but it didn't really have that spark for me that brought me into the show. Even if I despise many of the writing choices that the show has made over the years, I still like a lot about it. So my preference will always be for the show. But that doesn't mean the movie is bad, and I still did enjoy it.
Also, I like show Gabe (before the Season 5 finale) as an antagonist better than movie Gabe. He's a piece of trash and a waste of oxygen but he was a pretty well written antagonist when he was allowed to do stuff. Movie Gabe suffers from the same problem of his arc being underdeveloped and rushed, even if his personality is an improvement from show Gabe.
Anyway, movie was good. The last scene with Nathalie and Emilie looks like its hinting to a sequel, but that won't be coming out anytime soon, so we'll see.

AN: This work is for @maridotnet! I was your @mlsecretsanta :) I hope you enjoy this fluffy Adrienette fic! I really enjoyed working on it. Summary: Marinette, Adrien, Alya, and Nino have a sleepover at Marinette’s house. Will Marinette and Adrien finally confess their feelings? Title: I loved you then and I love you now
Adrien stared into his reflection in his bathroom mirror, determined. He was having a friendly sleepover with Nino, Alya, and Marinette. He was going to have a nice time and when Alya and Nino fell asleep, he’d confess his feelings to Marinette. Maybe. Hopefully.
His previous attempts hadn’t been so great. After waiting for a couple months to see if Marinette had ever confessed to buttercup and gotten a boyfriend, he’d realized that he was paying attention because he didn’t want her to get with the mysterious boy. Of course he wanted Marinette to be happy— she was one of his closest friends— but he wanted her to be happy with him.
Then, the reveal happened. They’d both rushed into an alley to transform and hadn’t noticed each other until bright green and pink lights illuminated the small space and they’d almost been blinded. They hadn’t had time to talk about it at the moment because an akuma was wreaking havoc in the city, and they hadn’t really had time in the past few weeks.
Of course, he’d tried to talk to her. He’d wanted to talk about the reveal and confess his feelings for her. But every time he got to the point where he’d say he really cared about her, she’d say something like, “Right! Because we’re very good friends!” then laugh nervously and run away with an excuse.
But tonight would be different. Possibly.
He smacked his cheeks lightly, trying to psyche himself up. He could do this! He’d just correct her before she could run away. And where would she even run? The sleepover was at her house. It would be after the bakery closed. If she made an excuse this time, then maybe she just wasn’t comfortable being near him. He frowned. He thought they’d gotten past this. 
Adrien shook the thoughts away as he checked the time. “Plagg?” The kwami appeared beside him, popping a triangle of camembert into his mouth and swallowing it whole. “It’s time to go. Don’t you think you have too much cheese for one night?”
The kwami looked at the bag he’d filled with seven camembert wheels. “No? Why would this be too much?”
Adrien rolled his eyes. “Whatever.” He’d just make sure the bag was sealed completely so Marinette’s room wouldn’t stink.
A knock came from his door. “Adrien,” Nathalie called, “your driver is ready.”
“Coming!” He grabbed his overnight bag as Plagg hid in his shirt pocket.
He could do this, he reminded himself as he stepped out of his room. Tonight he’d confess his love for Marinette and, hopefully, everything would be fine. 
————
“I can’t do this!” Marinette exclaimed, hands pulling at her hair. She was pacing in her room as Alya watched her from the chaise lounge she reclined on. “Why did I think this was a good idea? A sleepover? At my house? In my room? With Adrien?” The girl whirled around to face her best friend, “Why didn’t you talk me out of it?”
Alya laughed, “Relax, girl. I’ll be here and so will Nino. If you need anything, we’ll be here for you. There’s nothing you need to worry about.”
Marinette frowned. That was easy for Alya to say. Somehow she always managed to be calm, cool, and confident. And Marinette was cool and confident, too! …Just not so much around Adrien. And definitely not calm. If she was Ladybug, then yeah, she could be calm. Sometimes.
Which Adrien knew. Because he was Chat Noir. Her partner, her best friend, and her kitty. Marinette blushed, she still couldn’t believe they were the same person. Silly, flirty, easy going Chat Noir that she could always be herself around was the same boy she could barely hold a normal conversation with. It also meant that it was Adrien who kissed her hand and winked at her and called her his lady. Oh god. She was not going to survive the night with that knowledge.
Marinette groaned, pulling her hands down her face as she sat down next to Alya. Alya put an arm around her shoulders, rubbing one in a comforting manner. Marinette placed her head on her friend’s shoulder. “I don’t know if I can confess tonight. I’ve never been able to, so why’s tonight any different?”
Alya gently nudged Marinette off her shoulder and placed both her hands on Marinette’s shoulders. “Hey, look at me.” Marinette slowly looked up at her. “You don’t have to if you’re not ready. But I know you can do this! If you just can’t get the words out, then have fun tonight. It’s a sleepover with your best friends! We were able to get Garba— I mean, Gabriel Agreste to let his son leave the house. That’s something to celebrate! Right?”
Marinette smiled. She was so lucky to have such great friends. “Okay…thanks, Alya.”
Alya grinned, hugging her. “Anytime.”
“Marinette?” Her mother called. “Can you get the door please?”
Marinette pulled away from Alya, nervousness creeping back into her. Alya patted her shoulder reassuringly. Marinette nodded, taking a deep breath. She could do this. She was going to survive the sleepover.
As she walked down the stairs, Marinette hyped herself up. It was just one night. Just a normal sleepover with her friends.
(And the love of her life. But if she thought about that, then she wouldn’t survive the night. And she couldn’t let Adrien have a bad sleepover experience. And if she died at a sleepover, then what would her tombstone say? “Died from being too close to Sunshine Child who also happened to be Charming, Flirty Kitty”? And—)
She was at the door. Ok, Marinette, she told herself, just open the door. You can do it.
Her hand closed on the handle. She turned the knob, then—
“Hey, dude!” Nino smiled as he waved at Marinette.
Oh, it was just Nino. Marinette breathed a sigh of relief. She could deal with Nino. “Hi! Come on in,” she grinned. As Nino walked in, Marinette caught sight of blond hair. Oh no.
“Hi, Marinette,” Adrien said, his smile dreamy as ever. Marinette’s heart picked up speed and she felt her cheeks heat up. Did she really just call his smile dreamy?
“Heeeyyy, Adrien,” she replied.
Two seconds. Two seconds was all it took for her to be a jumbled mess around him. How was that even possible? Did he put some sort of spell on her? No, he wouldn’t do that. Adrien was too nice.
Marinette stepped aside to let him in her house. “You guys can go upstairs,” she told the boys, “Alya’s already there.” She closed the door as they headed up to her room.
Her mom smiled at her as Marinette reached for the tray of snacks she’d prepared for them. “Good luck,” she said.
Marinette’s face burned with embarrassment. “Thanks,” she muttered. But, really, she did need the good luck wishes. She needed all the luck in the world if she was going to survive the night. 
Marinette stopped at the bottom of the stairs, staring up at them. They’d never seemed like much of a challenge, but in that moment, they seemed like the longest hike. 
Marinette shook her head to clear her thoughts. She was Ladybug! She could handle a sleepover with her crush and her best friends! It wasn’t the end of the world. Right?
————
Adrien didn’t think he’d ever had so much fun, or sugar, in his life. (Which was kind of sad, but he wasn’t going to think about it.)
Marinette and her parents had a steady supply of delicious pasteries that seemed to never end. Alya and Nino had also brought soda, chips, and candy. They’d played truth or dare, they’d taken random online quizzes, they’d challenged each other to eat sour candies without making faces — which had been hilarious — they’d had a pillow fight, then they’d built a pillow fort. (Adrien didn’t think he’d ever made a pillow fort before.)
Now, in the comfort of their small pillow fort and some warm blankets, they watched a movie on Marinette’s computer. But Adrien couldn’t really pay attention to it. Not when Marinette’s hand was centimeters away from his. They’d had to squeeze in close to all fit in the pillow fort, and of course Alya and Nino wanted to be next to each other. Naturally, Marinette sat beside Alya, which had left just enough room for Adrien to squeeze in next to her.
He wanted to hold her hand. So badly. He wanted to so much that he was actively holding himself back from closing the tiny distance between their hands. They’d held hands before, of course, but that was when they were running away from danger or his fans. He wanted to hold her hand in a romantic sense, like when they were cuddled in a pillow fort and enjoying small moments or walking along the Seine at the end of a wonderful date. And he really, really wanted to hold her hand in that very moment.
Instead, he moved his attention to Alya and Nino who’d fallen asleep. It was the perfect chance to get Marinette alone and tell her his feelings. He glanced at Marinette as she idly chewed on the popcorn they’d made for the movie.
Gosh, she looked so pretty. Her hair had come undone from the usual pigtails in the pillow fight and she’d just left it like that. Did she know what it did to him? Did she know that it only strengthened the yearning to play with her hair as she falls asleep? (Maybe one day he’d get the chance.)
Marinette’s eyes caught his and he quickly looked away, face burning. She’d caught him staring. Oh, no. What if she thought he was weird for staring? No, no, he just had to play it cool. Yeah. He could do that.
He cleared his throat and looked at her again. She looked back at him and — oh, why was he so nervous? He’d confessed so many times to her before, so why did he suddenly feel so anxious?
Adrien then realized he hadn’t said anything for a while after clearing his throat. “Uh.” Wow, what a great start, a voice that sounded a lot like Plagg said in his head. Maybe he was spending too much time around the sarcastic little guy. He tried again. “Do you…wanna get some fresh air outside?”
Marinette smiled and his heart stuttered. She was so pretty, and for what? To kill him? Probably. “Sure.”
Quietly, they tiptoed across Marinette’s room and out to her balcony. It was somewhat chilly, and Marinette was smart enough to grab a blanket on her way out. Adrien was grateful for his warm pajamas.
They stood side by side, leaning on her balcony railing and watching the streets below. It was late, but it was also the weekend, so people were still out and about. Adrien watched as a couple laughed, swinging their joined hands with much enthusiasm. Their wildly swinging hands came back to a normal swing as their laughing subsided. Adrien wished he could do that with Marinette. Maybe he would if he’d just confess.
Adrien looked at Marinette, grasping her blanket in one hand to keep it in place around her shoulders. She was smiling serenely as she watched the street below them. Her twinkling balcony lights cast a golden glow over her face. She looked breathtaking.
Ok, he told himself, you can do this! You’ve done it before and she looked just as gorgeous then. You can do this!
“Marinette,” he murmured, stepping in a little closer, “for a while now, I’ve been wanting to tell you this. You know you’re very important to me—“
“Right! Because we’re very close friends!” Marinette interrupted loudly, a nervous laugh escaping her. She turned on her heel to leave, but he couldn’t let her go yet again.
Gently, he grasped her hand, sighing, “Yes, we arevery close friends, but…” He looked her in the eye, mesmerized by the sea of blue that met him. “I want to be more than that. I love you, Marinette. I always have, whether I realized it or not, and knowing that you were the girl under the mask only made my feelings stronger.” It felt good to get it off his chest. “It’s ok if you don’t feel the sa—“
“I love you too!” Marinette blurted, her words leaving her so fast it took him a moment to register what she’d said.
“You…love me, too?” She nodded, tears in her eyes. Adrien laughed, picking her up at spinning her around in his arms. “You love me, too!” He exclaimed as Marinette giggled, cheeks flushed from joy.
He paused, his heart beat thundering in his ears. He wanted to kiss her so badly. But would it be too soon? They stared at each other, love in their eyes.
Then, Marinette blushed and whispered, “Can I kiss you?”
Adrien grinned, leaning in and meeting her half way. Her lips were soft and warm, and her lipgloss tasted like passion fruit. When they pulled apart, he asked, “Did you wear that lipgloss on purpose?”
Her cheeks got even more red. “Maybe.” They giggled as he twirled her around again. “I’m so happy,” Marinette murmured.
“Me, too, Marinette, me too,” he replied softly, leaning in for another kiss.
————
Alya opened her eyes and grinned up at Nino. Nino grinned back. The two of them knew their friends were having trouble getting together so they made yet another plan. They’d encourage the two to confess as they always did, but also give them the opportunity to do so.
Obviously, Adrien and Marinette weren’t going to confess with her and Nino being right there, even though they both knew they liked each other. It was understandable that they’d want to be alone for that. The best way for them to be alone was if they thought she and Nino were asleep.
So, Nino suggested they watch a movie, then the two of them pretended to fall asleep within the first twenty minutes. It was hard not to smile when Adrien asked Marinette if she wanted to get some fresh air. Now, they just had to hope they finally confessed.
“Do you think it worked?” Nino whispered.
“I don’t know why it wouldn’t,” Alya replied. But then again, that’s what they’d thought about other attempts. “I’ll go check.”
Alya crept up the ladder to Marinette’s bed loft and carefully opened the trapdoor just enough to see Adrien’s feet on the ground, and Marinette’s in the air. He was twirling her around. Then Alya heard her giggle and say, “I’m so happy.” With a giant grin, Alya quietly closed the trapdoor and hurried over to Nino.
“They did it!” She whisper-yelled as she hugged him tightly.
“Finally!” When they pulled away, he kissed her cheek, softly. “Now, we can go on double dates without them complaining about being the third wheels.”
“But you know they’re going to be insufferable in their first month or so of dating.” The honeymoon period for those two would be as if honey was poured on cotton candy — sickeningly sweet.
Nino shrugged, “I think it’ll be better than hearing them pine over each other.”
“Good point.” The trapdoor opened. Alya and Nino tried to be casual as they turned to watch Adrien and Marinette move back to the pillow fort. “There you guys are.”
“Needed some fresh air?” Nino asked.
Marinette and Adrien looked at each other. “Yeah.” Adrien lightly swung their joined hands.
“Oh, and what’s this?” Alya asked as though she didn’t already know what was going on.
Adrien smiled softly at Marinette. “We’ve decided to start dating.”
“That’s great! I’m so happy for you guys!” Nino nodded in agreement.
The two squeezed back into the pillow fort. “So,” Nino clapped his hands together, “who wants to try some more sour candies?”
The others cheered. Soon, they abandoned their movie and continued with their sleepover shenanigans. As Alya looked at the happy new couple, she grinned. This was surely a night to remember.

Sorry for the salty Miraculous post. I should really just completely ignore canon. Mostly, at this point, I do. I’m having more fun with AUs, and a ship that is definitely never going to be canon. But I said a long time ago that I would hate it if Adrienette were to date pre-reveal. This was even back when I was obsessed with the lovesquare. (There’s a reason I only drew them together post-reveal or for DTIYS stuff. Adrienette does not appeal to me without a reveal first. At. All.) This is a show, with a lovesquare, where superhero identities are involved. But for some reason, they decide to have these characters start dating as... civilians? Not both of them as a heroes who know the other’s burdens, not one of them as a hero, but just civilians. (It is so boring to me, along with all of my other issues with it.) Also, bonus, they are both completely fine with abandoning their partner and Paris, in the toughest stage of their fight against evil. Their commitment to each other as superhero partners? Nah, that is not important. Just give up on that and don’t tell the other one! Who cares?! Obviously, what is important is that Adrien and Marinette can date.
I guess we’re supposed to like that because “omigosh the lovesquare is finally happening!” or something... but honestly, they are both being awful to their partner and whoever is suddenly having to jump in and protect Paris without any of the experiences that Ladybug and Chat Noir have had that have made them stronger and better suited for the job.  There are so many amazing ways for the lovesquare to happen. It’s such a good concept. That’s why there are literally THOUSANDS of amazing reveal fics of this ship where they finally realize they are in love with each other. It is NOT HARD to write this well. They’ve had the set up for it going since season 1. But I guess the show will throw every other side of the lovesquare, even as partners and friends, under the bus to make Adrienette happen. To be completely honest, I can’t help but wonder if they have written it this way to try to “not be like the fanfics” and not do it the way people might expect. After a 7+ year wait, it’s just such a disappointment. The way things are happening doesn’t even feel in character for them. I get that this is a romance centered show at the end of the day, but it’s been such a long wait for.. this? I know they are going to take their Miraculous back and realize some things at least. But it’s still Adrienette without a reveal, they still abandoned each other. I still hate it.  With that, I’m going to dive back into fanfics, AUs, and ships that will never happen in canon. It’s much more fun over here.
