#you just see how both easy it would be for her to let them be a team again and so hard to do that at the exact same time now in season 4???

not feeling well mentally rn and my brain went zooming towards adrien having several trauma responses to illness. 

i don’t mean falling ill himself, but watching other people fall ill or them being injured. he’s had to go through the torture of watching his mother get sicker and sicker until one day when he woke up and she wasn’t there anymore

him flinching every time nathalie coughs or even clears her throat, she’s accustomed to sending him a small smile to let him know she’s alright, but when her legs give way and she’s about to faint again he’s the first to catch her before she falls, he’s always bringing her her food tray whenever he’s at home and not at school or at a million other extracurriculars, he memorises every pill and syup the doctor prescribes and always makes sure they’re at her bedside. nathalie hides the unopened packages of medicines whenever adrien walks into the room because he doesn’t know her illness is because of magical causes, and she wants him to think she’s taking her meds.

he gets a huge scolding and gets grounded for a week for taking a detour from school to nino’s house but adrien can’t bring himself to care. nino had broken his leg while climbing down the stairs, and imagine his shock when adrien came barging into his room and shaking him and checking him all over like he was on his deathbed. adrien didn’t leave until nino promised to text him everyday about his improvement.

he knows what its like to see the people you love fall ill and be terrified about them never getting discharged from the doctor’s care. that’s why he quietly steals glances at rose and juleka whenever he can. he never makes it obvious, because neither of them like the attention, but he can tell whenever they’re having a conversation about rose’s sickness, because juleka always sends adrien a particularly sad look. 

he didn’t think of all the people he loved, plagg would fall sick. one morning he woke up to find plagg howling from a tummy ache and refusing to touch his cheese and adrien went nuts. he couldn’t contact master fu, master su han didn’t know who he was, and the only one with the actual solution to heal his kwami was ladybug, who didn’t know his identity either. his only choice was to let plagg find his way to ladybug by himself, even though he looked terribly ill. adrien locked himself in the bathroom to pretend he was having a shower before fencing class, because he couldn’t stand the thought of leaving the house and plagg coming back to him not being there. not even an hour later, plagg came back with a sheepish yet shameless grin - ladybug had healed his stomach ache and only warned him not to eat too much cheese in one day. 

adrien went into a silent convulsion when he saw marinette’s prescription for constipation on that train. he had to tell himself to calm down. constipation wasn’t a serious matter. people didn’t die from it. but they were in a lot of pain and discomfort and he couldn’t stand the thought of marinette like that. he spent the entire weekend walking around london on foot, arguing and pleading with english pharmacists who didn’t store a french brand of constipation medicine. 

he knows ladybug doesn’t like it when he’s hurt, and he does try his best to not get erased or brainwashed or injured while battling akumas, but he can’t not jump in front of her when she’s in danger. better him than her. one time an akuma threw her headfirst into a building, and she couldn’t open her eyes for a full minute. she awoke to her head on chat’s lap and a knocked out villain.

My #1 post of 2022

notice how when everyone else had fallen adrien was still fighting

this boy is a hero inside and out and like this is not even out of the blue. in origins he was the catalyst for ladybug becoming the hero she is. in heroes day he was the one telling ladybug that they will never lose as long as they're together. in miraculer he kept fighting with broken ribs and saved the bee miraculous while he was at it. and now he keeps on throwing himself at strike back, even when he gets knocked out and thrown on his behind. his love for ladybug never wavered even when he was angry with her. he keeps telling her and everyone else that they can keep on going. adrien agreste is at his most feminine coded when he keeps on being a symbol for hope, despite having the most reasons of any character in this entire show to not have any.

MIRACULOUS FIC RECOMENDATIONS!! (Part 2)

You can find part 1 here.

The first one was really popular! So I decided to make a second part.

The rules are the same:

All of the fics will be rated Teen and up audiences or lower. Also if I don’t put the author’s tumblr is because they didn’t put it in the fic or/and I couldn’t find it.

The only thing that changes is that I would be putting the pairing in the description of the fic.

Without further ado...

Written in the Stars by Boogum (@botherkupo here on tumblr!)

Pairing: Marichat and Adrienette.

He was the god of destruction. She was a princess whose kingdom had been prophesied to fall. To save her people, she became his wife. To save him, she would have to do the impossible. The castle has secrets, the gods are watching, and time is running out.

Chapters: 37/37

TW for mild violence.

Arrange marriage, God AU. While I'm making this list, I still haven't finished the fic, but I had to recommend it because is THAT good. The way I gasped out loud while reading some of the plot twists. The worldbuilding is so good, and even if you aren't into AUs that deviate a lot from cannon like me, I 100% reccomend it.

Need a Lift? again by Boogum.

Pairing: DJWifi

Getting stranded on a foreign planet sucked. Luckily for Nino, his rival was willing to give him a lift home. Unluckily for Nino, she was beautiful and funny and he might just be in love with her.

Chapters: 1/1

Space Bounty Hunter AU! Really sweet and funny. If you are into flustered!Nino then this fic is for you.

hey, you by peachcitt (@peachcitt here on tumblr!)

Pairing: Adrienette

“Have you ever had a dream about someone that changes the way you think of them?”

or Adrien has a dream about Marinette.

Chapters: 1/1

Okay so, peachcitt is one of my favorite ml writers. Everything that they write is sooo good y'all, and i'm already a sucker for adrienette, so I cannot recommend this fic (or any of theirs) enough.

double dare again by peachcitt (I told ya!)

Pairing: Ladrien (with lots of sided ladynoir)

“Don’t ever do that again,” Marinette says, maybe a little too emphatically, and Adrien looks at her, his expression quiet. His cheeks, Marinette notices, are a little red.

“But I wanted to save you,” he says.

or Ladybug and Adrien can't seem to stop running into each other. (whether that is on accident or on purpose is nobody's business but their own, of course).

Chapters: 30/30

This was a ladrien june fic! Every chapter corresponds to the day's prompts but it also continues a story. If that doesn't make you want to read it then I don't know what it will. I fear fanfic writers, they're insane.

(not) so much by therentyoupay (@therentyoupayfanfiction here on tumblr!)

Pairing: Marichat and adrienette

(The claws are sharp, but the host of Destruction—for all of his loudmouth chaos and lack of reserve—is paradoxically careful.)

Chapters: 1/1

In which Chat Noir pays a visit not long after Marinette has made a pretty difficult decision, and they accidentally make a routine.

Prompt: Marinette gives Chat a hickey. Adrien has a suspiciously similar looking hickey the next day at school...

Gotta be honest with y'all, I did not expect this fic to be as good as it is. The adrienette has everything a stablished!Marichat should have. Marinette conflicted with her feelings? Check. Adrien being a hot mess bc That's My Girlfriend But She Doesn't Know That? Check. Them being absolute idiots? Check. It's good!

Doctor, Doctor, Give Me The News (Your Lips Is The Only Cure I Could Use) by BreG21.

Pairing: Adrienette

Rainwater sloshed up from the pools they had made on the sidewalk and coated his jean pants with every step he took. He couldn't bring himself to care.

He sniffed away some of the water that dribbled down his matted head. "Yeah?"

He paused as if to consider his words while Adrien stared down at him, so lost. "You weren't wrong when you thought you knew. A part of you wanted it to be her, but it was too perfect, you let the illusion fool you because how would you get that lucky. But trust me, Adrien. You weren't wrong."

He wasn't wrong? What was he not wrong about?

You weren't wrong. You want it to be her.

And it finally clicked as a small gasp wisped past his lips. He wasn't wrong.

In which, Plagg falls ill, and with Fu gone and Ladybug being the guardian now, has to go find her civilian self-even with the knowledge that she might not like that-is shocked to realize that even with having the kwami that was supposed to embodied the very being of bad luck, Adrien could conclude the very opposite of what he had thought for so long.

He was so very lucky.

Chapters: 1/1

I screamed so hard while reading this fic. It's just one of those who gets the characters right. Do you like a good reveal? Go read this now.

Operation Mega Sleepover by InTheWild (@smellerbeee here on tumblr!)

Pairing: Adrienette

When Alya and Nino drop out of their long awaited mega-sleepover at the last minute, it leaves Marinette and Adrien alone together for the night. An Adrinette one-shot with lots of fluff and sleepover shenanigans.

Chapters: 1/1

I just,,, I love adrienette fluff so much,,, I love them,,,

You, Me & A Little Bit Of The Future by joonapeach.

Pairing: this is a fortunate case of all lovesquare shenanigans™

Marinette expects some disaster on her first outing alone with Adrien.

She just doesn't expect that disaster to be her future self passing off a baby for her to take care of with Adrien.

(Alternatively... two idiots obliviously in love cooing over their daughter while acting like they have no idea whose kid this is.)

Chapters: 1/1

I think the description says anything that it needs to be said. It's really sweet and funny and I love how they just change their minds so quickly and get emo for literally nothing. Peak shakesperean dumbasery.

The entire Marry That Girl series by Miraculous_Max (Maximilian_Alexander).

Pairing: Adrienette

Let’s say Marinette has a special sketchbook. This sketchbook is filled with drawings of their future house, of Adrien as an adult in multiple occupational settings, of Marinette and Adrien’s wedding, and most importantly, their future children.

Let's say Adrien found this sketchbook.

Works: 8 (All are 1/1 chapters)

Just realized how this list exposes me as number 1 adrienette sucker... oh well. I love how Adrien doesn't feel weirded out by the intensity of Marinette's crush. He likes it! He's as weird and romantic as her! That's one of the reasons I love the lovesquare so much and it makes me happy to see that everyone is in the same boat with me.

Strenght by 11JJ11.

Pairing: Adrienette

Marinette knew she was much stronger than she looked thanks to being a hero. So when her class had an arm wrestling contest she knew that she could beat all of them with ease, but she wasn't expecting anyone else to come close.

Chapters: 1/1

Good ol' accidental reveal feat. the entire class shenanigans. I, once again, screamed for an adrienette fic. Who could've thought.

Super Fan by Taliax.

Pairing: Ladrien

It was a good thing Alya was holding the phone and not her, because it would have slipped from her fingers and shattered. How had she not noticed? She had been there, and somehow she’d missed her crush looking at her like she was an angel sent from heaven.

Forget the perfume ad. This picture was going to be her new desktop.

(In which Marinette realizes that she and Adrien might both be obsessive fans.)

Chapters: 1/1

Canon divergent from after Gorizilla. They're so dumb. That's my opinion on this fic.

How to Kiss Your Crush in Five Minutes or Less also by Taliax.

Pairing: Ladrien

He just needed to know if Ladybug needed Chat Noir. He didn't expect to learn just how much she wanted Adrien.

This would be the best five minutes of his life, if he didn't expect her to forget it.

Chapters: 1/1

CW for making out.

Set during Desperada. I promise there's a happy ending. Also Luka is there for some reason, felt really bad for him.

Laying Down the Rules: The Gabriel Agreste Clauses by LadyKae

Gen

Adrien leaves the manor on a dark and stormy night and seeks sanctuary at the only place he feels safe: The Home of the Dupain-Cheng Family. When Sabine learns why her dear boy is fleeing to her home in the middle of the night, she makes a personal visit to one Gabriel Agreste.

There's more rules in play, but not for Adrien and Marinette.

Chapters: 1/1

This is just Sabine going to beat the fuck out of Gabriel and it's really satifying ngl

4am. by hannieks

Pairing: post-reveal lovesquare

In which Adrien has the cat tendency to wake up their owners at stupid o'clock, and Marinette just wants to sleep. Cuteness ensues.

Chapters: 1/1

Really short but really sweet. If you like Adrien acting like a cat then you would like this.

Can I Date You(r Character)? by midnightstarlightwrites (@midnightstarlightwrites here on tumblr!)

Pairing: Adrienette

Adrien turned to her, something unreadable in his gaze. “Are you ok with this?” he asked.

And what a loaded question that was. Was she ok with it? Was she ok with the one guy she couldn’t seem to get over in real life kissing her in a game of Dungeons and Dragons? When she put it like that, it seemed a bit silly to get so worked up.

It was just a game...right?

She was ok with it, right?

“Sure,” she lied. “I’m ok with it.”

When Adrien's character falls in love with Marinette's, they decided to date in-game. What could go wrong?

Chapters: 7/?

THIS ONE IS SO CUTE. You want to scream??? Read this.

two idiots and a hamster by Boogum (again) and carpisuns (@carpisuns here on tumblr)

Pairing: Adrienette

How do you hide your superhero identity from your roommate? (spoiler alert: badly)

Chapters: 5/?

Once @anna-scribbles described this fic as "is literally the closest i’ve ever seen a fic come to matching the energy of canon", and I couldn't have described it better.

And that's all for now! Next time I will probably make an only DJWifi list since I've been treating them so dirty lol.

'ello, currently in a bit of a predicament. im running out of fics in my queue and im desperate for any lovesquare fluff i can get my hands on. id want it a little bit on the longer side maybe but ill honestly just take anything you can give me. any recs please???

Oh shit, you and me in the same boat dude

Uuuhhh, anything by @rosekasa (goes by maketea on ao3) is good, she's got like 100 fics or so now and if you haven't read all of them there's probably one of two you'd enjoy (they're also short and sweet if you're looking for drabbles) she's got this one shot series (ways to say I love you I think) that I'm subscribed to, its got a bunch of little oneshots from all sides and variations of the lovesquare and it's super cute and I love reading them, they make yah feel warm and fluffy inside, like hot chocolate or smth

Reiaji on ao3 is like the best writer ever (very specific to my tastes yum) and they have 5 works there. They've got the classic who's woods these are (I think I know.) That you may have heard boatloads about and if you haven't read it, READ IT. It's a completed 25 chapter fic (105,000 words.) It's a cinderella story but marinette is the princess and it's main ship is ladrien (reiaji really likes ladrien) but there is some adrinette, marichat, and ladynoir in there. They've also got some other finished 1 - 2 chapter fics and stuff, honestly you should read all of it.

Graine de Toi is a body swap fic where adrien doesn't go to public school and has never met marinette (though he is chat noir and does meet ladybug) that is beautifully written, it's 5/11 chapters so far and I'm not sure if it will continue updating (I hope it will!) but what's there so far is super cute and I love it a lot definitely a must of you don't have a vendetta against unfinished fics

If you haven't read anything by @e-milieeee then you're missing out lmao, her ao3 is emilieee (if you held me at gunpoint and asked me the number of e's she has in her different usernames i wouldn't be able to tell you.) She's got a multi chapter fic Come Roses, Come Thorns that is to die for aaahhh, it's 13/? and updates decently regularly (em if you're looking please don't feel pressured if anyone should feel pressured it's me cause I haven't even thought about those bender au drawings in a month lmao luv u 💞✌️) it's a beauty and the beast story, marichat and adrinette, it's got magic, and lore that makes me wanna bust out a corkboard and red string. Yeah, read it if you haven't. She also is just, like, a good writer so read any of her other stuff and you'll be satisfied.

Those Benevolent Stars is a super cute ladrien soulmate au in an alternate universe (idk the era but it's not too important really) it's 3/3 chapters (23696 words) and I love it a lot. It's beautiful and sweet, makes my heart warm

Black Cats and Curtain Calls is a no powers theatre au fic (there's a series for it but the first one will always be my fav) based off of @caprette's theatre au from like, 2016 or smth. It makes me feel some things, (adrien reciting fucking poetry on the roof of a fucking denny's I can't) makes me feel nostalgic for a time that never was honestly,

This is all in like the first page of my bookwarks so there's definitely more that I missed out on. If you need some more recs, you can check my "ml fanfic rec" or "fav mlb fanfic" tag, theres bound to be some there that are good. Also just my bookmarks on ao3 is a compilation of every fic I've read and appreciated lmao

If anyone else has any recs feel absolutely encouraged to leave them in the reblogs or replies, I will happily gobble this shit up thank you very much,,

#ill probably add more later #stay tuned i guess? #miraculous ladybug #fav mlb fanfic #ml fanfic rec #uuuhhhh #yeah #ask

[selenityshiroiml]

So...I’ve seen somewhere that, at some point, Chat Noir will not be a part of the show for a bit. And I started to think of a scenario where it would work, but I’m not a massive fic writer and all my ideas are building up into a huge plot but with no major desire to write it. So...massive post-Gabriel/Hawkmoth story idea under the cut

So, I had the idea that the miraculous crew (all reunited for the big event) would find out Gabriel was Hawkmoth and quickly work to take him out. And, yeah, Chat Noir was a bit off during the take down but at least they all stopped Gabriel and got him and Nathalie arrested and they got back the Peacock Miraculous (but the Butterfly got knocked off and is still missing because Butterfly User Lila).

And the crew are all ‘oh shit...what about poor Adrien (who none of us know personally of course) he wasn’t here at the mansion when we ruined his life so we should all split up and go look for him’

(Nino finds him crying on his doorstep)

But then the next day Adrien kind of closes off and goes off radar for a bit because comatose Emilie was found and he’s now splitting time between the hospital and trying to make sure Agreste Fashion doesn’t tank and take all it’s innocent employees with it and a hotel because he is not going back to that mansion. And all his friends are giving him space because they love him and know he’s gone through a lot with his dad and psudo-stepmom being magical terrorists. And maybe they also don’t want to push because they also feel a little guilty for slapping the cuffs on.

In the meantime Chat Noir and Ladybug are still looking for the missing Butterfly but Chat is still off and he asks Ladybug if he can take some time for personal reasons. And Ladybug is all ‘what??? is something wrong?’ and he tells her that a family member is has been ill for a long time and they might need to be transferred for specialist medical treatment. But he’s being sufficiently vague enough that Ladybug assumes he’s been taking care of a family member with cancer or something and ‘OMG how long has he been struggling, was this happening before Hawkmoth??? Did he put off telling her or asking to take time off because he was worried about leaving her alone to deal with the akumas and everything???’

So she’s all ‘of course you can take some time you are my friend and partner and I care about you and I know you’ll be back as soon as you can and I hope everything goes well in your real life’

But what’s really happening is that the Guardian Temple has been in contact with Adrien and are all ‘we can help heal your mother...come to Tibet’ and Adrien is all ‘well...I can’t take the Black Cat Miraculous to Tibet with me because Ladybug might need it to protect her’ so he sends Plagg off with the ring and tells him to take it back to the Guardian (he isn’t truly renouncing it, he’s just being a selfless moron).

Of course, Marinette gets home from school and finds Plagg hissing and spitting at all the Kwami in her room and she realises Plagg is there with the ring and they are both so angry and upset at Chat Noir because ‘how fucking dare he’ and she refuses to put the ring away and no way in HELL is anyone else wearing it. She puts it on a cord around her neck and keeps it under her shirt at all times.

And then a few days later Adrien (who has slowly started messaging his friends back and thanking them for their support) shows up at school to say goodbye for a bit because he’s taking his mother to a specialist in China and everyone is all sad face but hopes everything goes well. (and obviously no one thinks twice about the fact that Adrien is leaving Paris not long after Chat Noir stopped appearing) And Tikki is shoving cheese scones into Plagg’s mouth whilst they hide in Marinette’s bag because she’s afraid he’s gonna shout out for his kitten before he drives off.

But then he’s gone and Marinette misses Chat Noir like anything and she misses Adrien and Alya is all ‘sooooo...can we borrow the ring?’ and Marinette and Plagg are both ‘OVER MY DEAD BODY’.

And then at some point a weird Miraculous user turns up with another strange user acting as a Mandarin-French interpreter and they ask Ladybug for the Peacock to heal Emilie Agreste. And she is all ‘wt actual fuck???’ and is all ‘let me think about it’ because Plagg is hidden in her hair whispering ‘you can trust them...especially the young one’ and she says to come back the next night and she’ll give her answer.

So she does the only thing she can think of to get answers as to why the Peacock might help Emilie. She sneaks into jail and asks Gabriel. And Gabriel, who has had time to think about his defeat and add 2 and 2 together to make 4 has realised that she is Marinette (he’s also worked out that Chat Noir is his son but he’s keeping quiet) and is open with her about how Emilie fell into a coma because of the Peacock and that, yes, it might be used to help her recover but he has no idea how. He also asks pointed questions about Sentimonsters and how she treated the Ladybug Sentimonster as a living being because maybe there might be a repercussion you aren’t willing to be responsible for.

Ladybug agrees to give the Peacock Miraculous to the Guardian Temple representatives on the promise that it is returned to her via Adrien and Emilie Agreste when they return, safe and well, to Paris.

In the meantime the Adrien-less plot ticks away with new Akuma victims showing up (showing that some asshole really DOES have the butterfly) but the motives seem to be less ‘bring me their miraculous’ and more ‘fuck everyone in Paris because i’m angry and upset because no one believes in me or gives me the attention i want’ because fucking Lila.

And at one point Nino, Alya and Marinette go and check out apartments on behalf of Adrien who has shortlisted places from China but wants his friends to check them out physically for him because he trusts them (and they are all ‘oh shit...this is an apartment but it’s like three times the size of all our places combined why is our friend so rich...) because I think that would be cute.

Until one day the news breaks out that Nathalie has disappeared in jail and all that is left is a feather, mostly white but with tints of blue at the edges. Marinette is all ‘shit...that’s an amok thing’ and manages to convince the police to give Ladybug the feather. She purifies the feather and on the otherside of the planet Emilie Agreste wakes up.

(Because Nathalie was a sentimonster that critically ill Emilie made and was filled with her desire to look after her husband and son and the reason why Gabriel didn’t try to destroy Nathalie to help Emilie is because by the time he realised what Nathalie was she was already a real person in his eyes, like the Ladybug Sentimonster, and also she was a part of Emilie and he didn’t want to risk destroying her if it wouldn’t help because she was all he had of his wife and he’s actually sad that Nathalie might be gone, even if it means Emilie wakes)

And then Adrien comes home and Emilie is still weak but hey at least she is there and she pays attention to her son which is more than Gabriel ever did (and it’s kind of weird that she seems to know things that only Nathalie knew...it’s like she saw her son grow up as if watching a movie).

And then Adrien sneaks up on Ladybug whilst she’s out and about (because he knows all her normal patrol spots) in order to return the Peacock. And Ladybug has spent the last while swearing to Plagg that when Chat comes back she is going to say fuck it to the hidden identities because she is going to shove the ring back on his damned finger herself and never let him take it off again. So Plagg has no qualms about zooming out of Ladybug’s hair and smooshing straight into Adrien’s face screaming ‘IF YOU EVER LEAVE ME AGAIN I WILL COUGH UP A CAMEMBERT FLAVOURED HAIRBALL DIRECTLY INTO YOUR MOUTH YOU RAT BASTARD’

And that isn’t how Marinette or Adrien expected the reveal to go but whatever.

(alternatively they could hold out on the reveal and just have a cute Ladrien scene of Adrien thanking Ladybug for helping his mother heal whilst she is all awkwardly all ‘sorry I got your father arrested’ and then when Marinette gets home Plagg is all ‘wow...will you look at the time, I think Chat Noir might be mysteriously ready for me to take my ring back to him’ and then he flies off and two days later Ladybug finds Chat Noir on top of the Montparnasse Tower and she tackle hugs him off the side of the building and they have to quickly stop each other from falling to their deaths via yoyo and staff and they end up tangled together whilst ugly crying because they missed each other SOOOOOO MUCH)

#ml speculation #ladynoir #i have actually written certain scenes of this #but i know it would take me so long to write the whole thing that the show would joss it before i completed it #but i genuinely believe something must be up with emilie and nathalie #and also that there was a reason we saw a sentimonster being treated like a real person worth having their own existance #mostly i want marinette and plagg mourning adrien being gone together #marinette alternating between 'i miss the love of my life' and 'i miss my kitty' and in a sadness spiral #sobbing into their icecream whilst tikki and alya are all 'there there' #and no one (other than tikki plagg and gabriel) realising that chat and adrien are the SAME PERSON #even though they mysteriously left at the same time

Ladrien/Marichat: Drunk Ladybug on My Balcony? Yeah. This is Fine.: Chapter Thirteen

Read it on AO3: Drunk Ladybug on My Balcony? Yeah. This is Fine.: Chapter Thirteen: The Revelation

“Here we are. Safe and sound,” Ladybug announced with forced chipperness as she set Adrien back down in his room.

Reluctantly, he removed his arms from around her and stepped back, doing his best to put on his own fake smile.

“Today was really fun,” he remarked with a lightness he didn’t feel.

“Yeah,” she agreed enthusiastically, but the joviality didn’t make it to her eyes. “I had fun too. I’m so glad you enjoyed it.”

“I did,” he affirmed earnestly. “It was really great, and I seriously appreciate you going to the trouble of organizing all that for me. I’m never going to forget today.”

“Me either,” she whispered, a bit of the false cheer wearing off, revealing the bittersweet melancholy hiding below the surface. “I had such a good time getting to know you better.”

“Me too.” He braced for impact as he added, “We should do it again sometime.”

She winced, averting her eyes. “Adrien… I’d love to, but we can’t. It was madness for me to even think of dating you as Ladybug in the first place.” She looked back to him with pleading, desperate eyes. “This is too dangerous. Like I said before, I don’t know what all Papillon is willing to do to get to me, but…I would never forgive myself if my selfishness and carelessness got you hurt. We’re lucky no one recognized us today and posted pictures where Papillon could see and start targeting you.”

“I know,” he sighed, gaze dropping to their shoes. “I don’t care about the risk for myself, but…I would never want to bring that kind of guilt on you if something did happen…. This wasn’t a good idea.”

“No,” she agreed softly, stepping in closer and taking his cheeks in her hands, making him look at her. “But today was the best mistake of my life, Adrien Agreste, and I can’t bring myself to regret it.”

“Yeah?” he breathed, letting himself get entranced by her swirling, sea-like eyes.

“Yeah,” she confirmed, smile infused with light and warmth and love.

“Well,” he chuckled, taking heart in looking on the bright side. “At least you can still ask me out as a civilian. This doesn’t have to be the end.”

Her smile flickered and faded as her brow pulled into a conflicted frown. “Adrien…I don’t think that’s possible now.”

Her words were like a cold shower, sending a jolt through his system.

“Wait. What? Why not?” he demanded, a whine creeping into his voice.

She gazed at him sadly, shaking her head. “What are you going to think the next time some black-haired girl comes up to you and asks you out for coffee? You’ll know it’s me right away, and that can’t happen. I have to keep my identity secret at all costs, not just for myself and my own safety but for the safety of all of Paris and the Miraculouses and kwamis in my keeping. I have to think about the bigger picture,” she informed him ruefully, feeling the weight of her yoke of duty then more than ever. “I can’t just think about myself…so this has to be the end of this. I’m sorry, Adrien.”

It occurred to him that he could simply ask Marinette out, but the unfairness of the entire situation agitated him.

“If you’re not allowed to think about yourself, who’s going to?” he challenged. “This isn’t right. It’s not fair that you have to bear such a heavy burden alone. I know what it’s like to have to keep secrets from everyone, Ladybug. It’s exhausting and isolating, and, after a while, it makes you feel like a bad person because you feel like you’re always lying to everybody in your life. I don’t want that for you.”

He eyed her pleadingly, willing her to relax her guard and let him in, let him be there to help support her.

“I don’t really want that for me either,” she admitted with a tired sigh, tears beginning to build at the corners of her eyes. “…Sometimes it just can’t be helped, though. I’m sorry, Adrien, but I can’t do this. Please don’t make this harder than it already is,” she begged, just barely managing to resist the temptation he offered.

He could see her on the edge of breaking, but pressing her further felt wrong and manipulative. He didn’t want to push her into something she would later regret, so he backed off with a soft, “Okay. Sorry.”

“Me too,” she whispered, her hands dropping to take his and give them a squeeze. “…Maybe the stars will align and we’ll get to date someday.”

“Maybe I’ll find you and ask you out first,” he hummed impishly.

“Please don’t try to find me,” she entreated, feeling sick with worry. “You can’t know who I am.”

He bit his tongue, knowing that it would only scare her off to tell her he already knew.

“Kiss me,” Adrien pleaded.

Ladybug blinked, startled by the urgency in his voice. “What?”

“If this really has to be the end of things between us, can’t you at least kiss me? You said that you wanted to earlier. If we can’t be together, can’t we at least have this much?” he reasoned. “Give me a kiss to remember you by.”

She worried at her bottom lip as she studied him carefully, weighing her options.

“Please, Nelle?” he whimpered, and his yearning gaze nearly did her in.

Reasoning that one kiss couldn’t hurt, she stepped in, taking his face gently in her hands and bringing it down to hers.

She’d intended the kiss to be brief and sweet like cherry blossom petals floating on a river, but she did not anticipate the spark she felt inside of her when her lips met his.

It was like an electric zap radiating through her body from the tips of her toes to the ends of her hair, and, judging by the way he gasped into the kiss, Adrien felt it too.

What Ladybug had intended to be a chaste brush of lips quickly devolved into a sloppy, hungry crush of lips and tongues and teeth and hands.

Before she could really think through what she was doing, she’d pushed Adrien back and down onto his couch and was on top of him, seeing what kind of noises he made when she bit, licked, or sucked on different parts of his neck and throat. She quickly found out that he purred when she massaged his scalp, and the sound only encouraged her.

“Wait,” Adrien gasped, getting a hold of himself several minutes later.

She lifted her head and blinked blearily down at him, mind hazy with hormones. “What happened? What’s wrong?”

“I can’t lie to you anymore,” he groaned. “I’m sorry. I know this isn’t what you want, but things have gone too far and gotten out of control. I can’t keep secrets from you anymore, My Lady.”

She opened her mouth to seek clarification, but he alleviated the need by calling, “Plagg, transform me.”

In a green flash of light, it was Chat Noir beneath her on the couch in place of Adrien.

“I’m so sorry,” he repeated, eyes begging for her forgiveness. “I shouldn’t have agreed to go on a date with you right after we’d just talked about waiting to start a romantic relationship until it was safe, but…when you showed up to ask me out, I figured that Adrien must have been your mystery boy all along, and it was just a dream come true, so…I should have said no, but I didn’t. I’m sorry. You know I think with my heart far more often than with my head.”

Ladybug did not respond right away. She was too busy gaping at her partner with her mouth hanging wide open as her mind bluescreened.

“Please say something,” he pleaded through a grimace, starting to feel ill. “I can tell you’re not taking this well, but—”

She cut him off with a guttural curse.

He blinked at her for a moment, and then a sly grin slowly curled up the corners of his lips. “On a first date? I’m sorry, but I’m a little old fashioned. You’ll have to marry me first.”

“Oh my God,” she groaned, covering her face with her hands as she had a mental meltdown.

He winced. “Sorry. I really am sorry. …On a completely serious note, are you okay?”

A muffled, “No,” leaked out through her fingers along with very Marinette-like sounds of despair.

“Sorry,” he repeated. “I didn’t mean for this to happen. I just…I really did understand earlier when you were talking about it being unfair to Adrien, him not knowing your identity. I felt guilty for keeping this from you this whole time, but I knew you didn’t want to know, so…” He shook his head. “But I couldn’t keep lying to you. …Sorry for messing things up,” he summarized dejectedly, ears drooping.

“…Do you hate me?” he whispered, half afraid to learn the answer.

She dropped her hands down to her sides and looked at him with eyes full of sorrow, compassion, regret, and love. “Chaton, I could never hate you. Ever,” she stressed, reaching out to stroke his cheek. “In fact, I think I love you now more than ever before.”

“O-Oh,” he choked, so happy it was hard to breathe.

“And you didn’t mess anything up,” she assured with a cloudy smile. “I did.”

She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. “Detransformation.”

In a swirl of pink, Marinette appeared, wearing the same blue dress as she had their last movie night.

A broad grin stretched across Chat’s lips as he sat up, taking her face in his hands.

She hesitantly peeked one eye open and was surprised to find him beaming at her like she had arranged the stars in the night sky. She blinked, noting, “You don’t look surprised. Or angry.”

“Because I’m neither, Princess,” he chuckled, running a hand down the side of her face, neck, and shoulder. “What better outcome could I hope for than for the two girls I’m crazy about to be the same person?”

“And, let me guess,” she snickered. “You’re not surprised because you were able to see Ladybug in your ‘Everyday Ladybug’?”

He bit his lip. “Actually…it was more like suddenly seeing Marinette in Ladybug earlier today when we were browsing in the Place du Tertre.”

The grin dropped off her face. “What?! Wait. What?! You figured out my identity?!”

He made a half-hearted, wobbling gesture with one hand. “I mean…sort of? I didn’t know for sure until just now, but…”

“Oh my gosh. All those questions you were asking!” she gasped as she mentally reviewed their day from that point.

He winced. “Yeah, well…I mean…”

She slapped his arm, and not in a fun, playful, joking away. “I can’t believe you! You were purposely trying to figure out my identity!”

“To be fair, I had already figured out your identity,” he reasoned, hoping she magically accepted this loophole and decided not to be mad at him. “I was merely seeking confirmation.”

She smacked his arm a second time, clearly not amused at his semantics.

“Hey, you’ve been in love with me for years and never said anything,” he whined, trying to shift the focus off of himself. “To Adrien or Chat Noir. If anyone has the right to be upset, it’s me.”

“I had my reasons,” she spluttered indignantly, hoping he wouldn’t ask for the receipts. “It’s not like you told Marinette you had a big, ridiculous crush on her either!”

“I’m sorry,” he snorted. “I just thought it was painfully obvious to anyone who listened to me rant regularly about how amazing and talented you are. If you’d shown interest in return, I would have gladly confessed to my gigantic crush on you, but, unfortunately, someone has been lying to my face the past seven years about how they’re not interested in me, they’re just a fan of my father’s work,” he returned with a sour pout.

“You are literally a model,” she whined in her own defence. “I thought you’d laugh in my face.”

“Princess,” he cooed, reaching up to stroke her face. “Who could say no to you?”

He leaned in to give her hair a reassuring nuzzle. “Marinette, you are the most awe-inspiring woman I know. You’re kind and brave and funny and gorgeous, and I would have to be a bigger fool than I already am not to fall deliriously in love with you.”

She wrapped her arms around him, holding him tight as she whispered, “I’m so sorry, Minou.”

“Shhh,” he comforted, pulling her in closer. “I’m sorry too. Maybe…can we try to accept that we both screwed things up and attempt to move beyond this?”

“…Yeah,” she decided, giving a little nod. “What’s done is done, so let’s just try to do our best going forward.”

“Sounds good,” he agreed, savoring the warmth of her body pressed to his, her sweet scent.

Earlier, he’d catalogued them in sorrow as she carried him back home, wondering if he’d ever get to experience them again. Now, he took stock in joy, planning to appreciate these sensations for years and years to come.

Suddenly, Marinette pulled back with a gasp and stared at him wide-eyed. “What are we going to do about akuma fights?! We just talked last week about how every second counts and how romantic feelings could cloud our judgment and get in the way in battle. What are we going to do now?!”

He grimaced, beginning to massage her shoulders in hopes that it would help her calm down. “My Love, I’ve had feelings for you for years now, and you just told me the other night that you’d loved me for almost as long. We’re going to have feelings that could potentially get in the way no matter what. We’ve had those feelings all this time, and I think it’s been pretty okay. I mean, I know I’ve sacrificed myself more times than you’re comfortable with, but the point is that we’ve managed all this time, haven’t we?”

“I guess you’re right,” she reluctantly agreed, slowly coming to see that what he said was true.

“Yes, we could have a fight or, God forbid, break up, but I’d like to think that our friendship and our partnership is strong enough to see us through, so…we’ve gone years suffering through trying to suppress our feelings, I, for one, would like to try making a romantic relationship work,” he suggested timidly, mentally crossing his fingers. “Who knows? Maybe when we stop holding ourselves back, we’ll be a better team than ever before. Want to give it a try?”

She didn’t need to think about it. “Yes. Definitely. Yes.”

“Really?” he laughed in joy and relief as his wildest dreams came true before his very eyes.

She nodded enthusiastically, joining in his laughter. “Yes. Really, really.”

He surged forward, capturing her lips once more in an exuberant kiss of celebration.

This one was more playful, less heated, but still full of fireworks and emotion.

Several minutes in, Marinette pulled back and glared at Chat Noir. “Heeeey. You sneak into my bedroom. Adrien Agreste sneaks into my bedroom.”

He quirked an eyebrow, wondering at the relevance of this revelation. “Technically, you invite me in. I always knock, even when the skylight is open.”

“Adrien Agreste has seen the inside of my bedroom,” she groaned in embarrassment, covering her face with her hands and letting out a moan of misery. “You’ve seen me in my laundry day sweatpants!”

He rolled his eyes fondly, gingerly taking her hands in his own and prying them away from her face. “Princess, look at me.”

She did so, her cheeks stained red as realization after realization informed her of all the unflattering sides of her he had seen.

“It’s just me,” he soothed. “Just your big, stupid cat, and I think the world of you.”

She pursed her lips, considering this for a moment. “…Yeah. You are, aren’t you?”

He nodded encouragingly. “Remember that time I got my tongue stuck to that lamppost?”

She burst out laughing, accidentally spraying him with spit which he gracefully wiped off, not minding in the least.

“Oh my gosh,” she giggle-snorted. “You did. You’re such a dork!”

“Your dork,” he confirmed.

“My dork,” she hummed and went back to kissing him.

They didn’t make it ten minutes before the next outburst.

“I tried to give you the Snake Miraculous!” she gasped.

Chat’s ears flattened. “We’re going to be having moments like this for years to come, aren’t we?”

“What the hell were you thinking?!” she demanded.

He shrugged. “You said you needed Adrien. I’m stupid in love with you. Emphasis on the stupid.”

She frowned, debating on her reaction. His reasons weren’t exactly good, but they were flattering, so maybe she could forgive him.

He took the liberty of kissing the crinkles from her brow. “Later, you’ll have to tell me how you pulled Multimouse off because I’m dying to know, but, for now, could we maybe kiss and snuggle? Maybe watch some movies?”

She instantly perked up. “Can we have a Disney singalong? I’m sort of in love with your voice.”

“Just the voice?” he asked again with a teasing eyebrow waggle.

“All of you,” she informed softly, leaning in to press a butterfly kiss to his lips. “…But your voice in particular.”

“I can live with that,” he cackled, pulling her back down onto the couch with him.

 Alya and Nino were lounging on her bed watching X-Men: Apocalypse when her phone buzzed.

“Why are you grinning like you just got the biggest scoop ever?” Nino inquired cautiously, lifting a suspicious eyebrow.

“My ship has sailed!” Alya cheered, nearly jumping for joy. “Adrien and Marinette are dating! Aaaaaahhhh!!! This is the best day ever!”

Nino frowned, pausing the movie. “Wait. Adrien’s dating Marinette or Ladybug? They should still be at the Eiffel Tower, right? Did she tell him her identity? Did he tell her his?”

Alya’s mood immediately plummeted. “Hold on. Let me figure this out.”

She shot quick texts to Marinette and Adrien, asking if they’d revealed their respective identities and who was dating whom.

“Okay. Full identity reveal. Everybody is dating everybody,” Alya reported with a contented sigh, sinking back down onto the bed. “These two are exhausting.”

“Tell me about it,” Nino snorted. “Why do they have to be so complicated?”

Alya shook her head. “Thank God Marinette locked us in the panther cage, right?”

“We never really thanked her for that, did we?” Nino snickered.

Alya shrugged. “Meh. I’ll work it into my maid of honor speech at her wedding. I consider my debt paid in full after all the identity shenanigans I’ve had to put up with getting her and Adrien together. I single-handedly defeated the Love Quadrilateral. My job here is done.”

“Awesome work, Al,” Nino chuckled, leaning in to give her temple a light peck.

Phantasmagoria and Late to the Jabberwocky by Mikauzoran                       ( @mikauzoran )

Out of the Rain by ominousunflower ( @ominousunflower​ )

(Rated T)

This one gives me big owies, it hurts like no tomorrow, but I’m hooked on this. This made me tear up because it just hurts that much.

Things get worse when he finds himself with a new responsibility he’s not sure he can handle. The author puts warnings at the beginning of each chapter, because it’s pretty heavy.

Truth and Consequences by siderealSandman( @siderealscribblings ​)

(Rated M)

Pairings: Lovesquare, Lukagami, Nino/Alya/Chloé, Mentions of Lukanette and Adrigami

Marinette discovers Hawkmoth’s identity and she makes a deal with him. Chaos ensues. This really dives into the shows dynamics and almost dissects the lovesquare.

You Don’t Know Me by Ferisae ( @ferisae ​ )

(Rated T)

(Rated T)

Pairings: Adrienette

The Two of Us by AnabielVriskaMars

(Rated T)

Pairings: Adrienette

Because this list needs more fluff! They’re in college and Marinette is struggling financially, Adrien offers to marry her until she’s stable again. Totally not romantic or anything… unless??? (Complete)

There’s definitely more, but for now these are all the ones I can name that I really really love. Happy reading!! ♡

[da-tasuky]

Ok, guys let’s get this straight! What about me and my projects now?

Some of you know that things are getting easier for me. Slowly but surely! First of all: Thanks to everyone who has been worried, cheered me up and texted me. Honestly, you are golden! Now that things are more or less settled into something resembling normalcy, I am taking things back into action.

Regarding Art/Commissions: I haven’t been able to do much. During all this time I couldn’t carry around my drawing tablet and well, that happened. Just yesterday I was able to try a sketch of Ladybug from my A Feral Lady fic and I’M SO SLOPPY! Suddenly my desk feels so uncomfortable and hard to draw in. Just give me some time to get used to it again and I’ll finish pending commissions along with art I feel I owe myself and to you all, dear wonderful people who still follow me for my art and I haven’t posted much *sobs*

Zines and other collaborative projects: Luckily some were on hiatus or during process that didn’t need me so they weren’t hindered much if not at all by my absence. Anyway, I’ll join again during the next days and share whatever I’m allowed to about them in due time. I’m very grateful of my friends from those projects for being so understanding over my situation and I’m very sorry for my absence, I’ll return... with weapons!

Regarding Fics and AUs: NOW THIS IS FUN! While I couldn’t take my huge drawing tablet, I certainly was able to take my laptop with me! And you see, I did a lot. I’m not a fast writer at all. And I try to get everything betaed now since I don’t completely trust I’m translating my ideas from my mother language correctly to English but I do what I can to be able to share it with yall ♥ Let me name them, give a summary of it and then tell you what I have in store for it!

Princess Scoop: Pairing: Marichat “A new superhero joined the party. Rena Rouge is a passionate ally with scary reporter and fox tendencies. She was starting to get used to her newfound lifestyle when she discovered something incredible called Marichat.”

Now, let me remind you this was written before Rena Rouge was introduced so it has a non-canon origin to Rena. I honestly have a lot written about this but the third chapter was a huge challenge and ended up split into three parts. And yeah, that’s why it’s been eons and I haven’t posted it yet. But soon, guys, soon. All that writing won’t go to waste. Besides, when I started it I had too specific expectations and I kind of messed up, but now I’m working it in a more relaxed way.

I know you better than that: Pairing: Daminette “Years ago, Marinette started exchanging emails with Damian as a favor for her uncle Alfred. Her first impression of the kid? Annoying and cold. Today, she wouldn't change him for anything. His friendship helped to keep her afloat during hard times especially after becoming Ladybug. Now, Marinette and Alya prepare for a flight to Gotham to meet the frowny bird.”

Chapter 3 is ready and soon to be posted! I have a lot of ideas for it and actually made a huge and wonderful document to plan the story so I’m pretty pumped up! Little secrets from the document along with future sketches will be shared in my Patreon!

A Feral Lady: Pairing: Ladrien “Mister Adrien Agreste has moved to his father abandoned estate in front of a gorgeous forest in the hopes to make new friends, connections, good business and hopefully meet a lovely woman to marry. He never expected this to be the start of close encounters with grievous dangers, witchcraft and fantasy stories becoming real. Who is this mysterious disappeared Miss Marinette he keeps hearing about? And most importantly, does the Werecat that lives in the forest mean him ill will?”

The first chapter is- finally- ready! Actually, it’s been for a long time but I was just very unsure of it, I did some minor adjustments and I think I just should go with it. The second chapter is half-written and I have several original songs for it written too. So what is this fic about? A Feral Lady is basically Beauty and the beast with Jane Austen's influence BUT taking everything from Beauty and The Beast and kind of inverting it. Like I mentioned above, I am doing art for this and will be posted in Patreon before being released here along with the first chapter.

Akumapocalypse: Pairing: Lovesquare Since this AU is kinda huge and I want every single miraculous active, I decided to wait for more info about the characters on S3 to dive into it. Now that there are few miraculous we don’t know about, I was able to easily readapt what I had done with the new info and I can get creative with the others (unless we get leaks while I work in this!) Basically, this AU is pretty much what the name implies, the end of the world at the hands of Akumas. I’ll keep everything else as a surprise!

Oneshots/Other multi chapters: I miiight have mentioned some but honestly, I’m not big into those as much as the others mentioned above. Still, I might finish some one-shots soon and post them between the others, between those there is an akumanette idea, one about Master Fu, another cool and weird one idk how to describe but is basically about Marinette in a hard position and having to create an awful web to protect her identity (?) And I got one very cool multichapter Marichat! But before these, I want to prioritize the others first. Still, if anyone is hungry for the Marichat one, I might be swayed to jump from my headcanon document to a full first chapter. As a very loose way to put that one, I think I’ll call it “Chains” And it will be about an Akuma called The Chainer actually “winning”. Paris is severely damaged and people try to live the aftermath of the Akuma permanent magic. One of the big consequences is that Adrien “disappeared” leaving only Chat Noir and he is forced to live a new life as Chat 24/7. 

Well, that’s about it!

Which one catches your interest the most? My ask is open if anyone wants to know a bit more about my stuff too ♥

Ladrien June 17: Aspik

This is my entry for prompt 17 of @ladrienjune​ I was really motivated for this! I got out a good bit of plot, so I’m glad for what it is. Adrien was awoken in the middle of the night by what sounded like a violently sick cat. “Plagg?” He looked around for his kwami, to see him floating miserably above one of Adrien’s pillows. “Plagg, are you ok?” Adrien glanced at the clock. It was 4:30 in the morning. Plagg definietly wasn’t ok, he never woke up before 6:00, and that as only for long enough to move into Adrien’s overshirt. He didn’t actually ake up until 10:00, unless there was an early morning akuma, in which case he would go back to sleep until at least noon. So, to put it shortly, Plgg being up this early was troubling.

“I’m sick,” Plagg said, a sneeze sending him flying backwards, “You need to call Fu.” Plagg floated downwards, towards Adrien, curling up on his chest as Adrien reached for his phone. Adrien rested a hand gently on Plagg, uing the other to unlock his phone and scroll through his contacts. He came to “Chinee Tutor” quickly and dialed, hoping Master Fu would be awake. It was really early, after all.

“Adrien?” came a groggy voice from the other end of the phone, “Is something wrong?”

“Plagg,” Adrien worried out loud, “he says he’s sick, and he looks terrible!” There was a sound from Plagg, probably a witty comment, but Adrien couldn’t make it out well. “I’m really worried.”

“I will come over immediately,” Fu said, and Adrien could hear motion through the phone, “I will send Wayzz to get Plagg, and inform Ladybug that Chat may be out of commission today.” As soon as Adrien opened his mouth to question what would happen if there was an Akuma, Fu already had an answer, “If there is an Akuma, I trust Ladybug can pick a temporary partner.” Right, Fu had told her he had been looking at Adrien as an occasional wielder, hadn’t he? It was only thirty minutes later, thirty minutes filled with Plagg’s sick groans, when Wayzz floated through Adrien’s window. “I am here to bring Plagg to Master Fu,” the turtle kwami greeted as he floated towards Adrien. Adrien gently lifted the ill kwami towards Wayzz, who let Plagg be partially draped over him.

“Please make sure he’s alright,” Adrien pleaded, clearly worried about his friend.

“I will,” Wayzz nodded, floating through the window once again, with Plagg in tow. Plagg let out a small retch outside of the window, and Adrien watched as they disappeared from view. He made his way back to his bed, laying down and trying to go back to sleep. 

“You’re not sick,” Fu tells Plagg once they reach the safety of his apartment.

“Thanks,” Plagg responded, “I’ve really been taking care of myself. I’ve been eating only the best camembert.”

“Why did you lie to Adrien?” Fu demanded.

Plagg sighed, “Right. Well, the kid and Ladybug were having a date, and she had made this little mask so she wouldn’t have to stay transformed,” Fu politely coughed, and Plagg continued, “Anyway, I was hanging out with Tikki, when we heard Nooroo under the table.

“Plagg, are you suggesting that Hawkmoth is-” Fu tried to ask, but was cut off.

“Not just suggesting,” Plagg confirmed, “Saying it without doubt. He’s the only person who’s been Akumatized that we HAVEN’T seen Hawkmoth talk to.”

“I will look into it,” Fu promised, “Now if you don’t mind, I have to call Ladybug and tell her you’re sick, so Adrien doesn’t suspect anything.”

Several hours later, it wa nearing the end of the school day. Which is why an Akuma simply HAD to strike. Adrien was hiding in the locker room, cursing his luck, when he heard someone land beside him. He turned to see Ladybug, and smiled, “Ladybug!” He moved forward to embrace her, but was stopped when she held out a box for a Miraculous.

“Adrien Agreste, I want you to be the wielder of the Snake miraculous.”

Latest Story: Acting Weird

You can find the story on AO3, on FFN, or on DA. 

I have been in a writing slump for the better part of a month, but I had promised myself I'd have a new piece of fiction completed each month. We’ll ignore that it’s after midnight my time. I had the story written and edited by 11pm... it just kept me a while to format and publish on the above sites.

Now, while trying to figure out what to write about, one of my friends suggested some Ladrien fanfiction, because there isn't nearly enough Ladrien in the world. Another one of my friends suggested Lukanette, since that ship is my jam right now. In the end, I decided to go with my old stand-by: mess with poor Adrien's head.

You can either go to any of the above sites to read my newest story, or you could read it below. It’s a fairly direct sequel to my birthday gift to @thetauruspixie: I Was Thinking Of You. 

~ Acting Weird ~

Summary: Everyone has been acting weird all week, and when Adrien finds out why, he starts acting weird too. It can't all be about Marinette's new beau, could it?

Rating: General Audiences

Word Count: 2605

Status: Completed one-shot

People had been acting weird around Adrien all week, and he couldn't quite pinpoint why. Even when it was practically spelled out for him, he still didn't comprehend why he was being treated differently.

"Oh, sorry, dude. I can't tonight." Nino rubbed the back of his head, bumping his hat and pushing it over his eyes a touch. He gave Adrien an apologetic smile as he shrugged. "Alya and the girls had this whole group date thing figured out since last Saturday. We're hitting up some rom-com the girls picked out, and then an arcade to play some skee-ball. I'd invite you along, but it's sort of this couples-only sort of thing."

Adrien's heart sank. So many of his classmates were paired up, and he was still running solo. If only he could win Ladybug over. If only they could know who each other was. Maybe then he could finally be with his lady, and they could join in with Nino, Alya, and everyone else. Then again, it might be weird for Adrien to explain where he met his mystery lady.

"Hey! What about that Kagami girl?" Nino snapped as the thought came to him. Instantly his posture changed to upright and hopeful. "I'm sure if you two wanted to come, everyone would love for you to join us."

"Thanks, but Kagami and I aren't really a couple, and I don't want her thinking I want us to be."

"What are you talking about? I thought Marinette said you were majorly crushing on Kagami. Even went on an ice skating date, and to a royal wedding, and the Ladybug movie premiere together."

"Nah, I- uh..." He couldn't very well tell Nino that he actually liked someone else without answering a dozen questions about who it was. If he caved and admitted it was Ladybug he'd have a hundred more to answer. "I thought I had feelings for Kagami, and she really is a great girl, but I just don't think of her the same way she thinks of me. I don't want to lead her on."

"Fair enough. Sorry, dude, I would have really liked for you to have come with. We'll have to hit up the movies and arcade ourselves. Bro-night."

"Bro-night." Adrien plastered on a fake smile, and held up his fist for Nino to bump.

"Hey, boys!" Alya called out to Nino and Adrien, waving them down from the top of the school's main entrance.

"Hey, babe." Nino held out his hand for Alya to take as she descended the stairs to them. Marinette followed a few steps behind.

"Hey, Marinette." Adrien smiled. She had always been a great friend to him. She had offered to go with him on his date with Kagami so he wouldn't feel so nervous. Maybe she'd go with him that night, as friends, so that they wouldn't be left out, simply because they were single.

"Hey, Adrien." She smiled back, and Adrien had the same weird sensation he had all week. There was something different about her. Yet it felt familiar somehow. "Do you have any plans this weekend, or is your father keeping you home again?"

It kept Adrien a second to register the question. He was focused on Marinette's stance; her speech patterns; her smile. Something was off, but not necessarily in a bad way.

"Well, I was trying to see if Nino wanted to come over to check out my latest fighter game, but he and Alya have this date night thing."

Alya and Nino turned to each other with uneasy looks on their faces. The same looks people had around Adrien all week. Marinette kept eye contact with Adrien, but her smile also faded slightly. He again wondered what it was he was missing.

"You like fighter games too, right, Marinette?" he continued, trying to be undeterred by the strange heaviness that instantly filled the air around them.

"Y-yes. I do." She started shifting her weight back and forth.

Instantly, Marinette seemed so much more recognizable to Adrien. That was what had been off. She hadn't stuttered or misspoke around him all week. She hadn't tripped, aside from a few stumbles she quickly recovered from. She had an aura of confidence radiating from her. It was very Ladybug-like, and it suited her well.

But now she was back to her old self: awkward and stammering around him; all confidence evaporated. While the abrupt change was a bit alarming, Adrien had gotten used to this version of Marinette. He was comfortable around her.

"Well, while these guys are out enjoying Paris, did you want to come over to play? Or maybe they'll let us invade, even if we're just going as friends?"

"Uh, A-Adrien?" Marinette rubbed her arm and played with the strap of her purse. Her eyes darted to Alya in a silent plea for help that could easily be heard, even without words.

"Ya see," Alya's voice cracked as she turned from Marinette to Adrien, "Marinette, well, she's kinda coming with us tonight."

Adrien blinked a few times and took a step backwards down the stairs. He wasn't expecting Marinette to be joining them on a couples night. He didn't even know she was dating anyone.

"You are?"

"Y-yeah. I'm- Well, Luka and I-" Marinette began to blush, and she couldn't keep eye contact with Adrien.

Luka. Of course it was Luka. Adrien should have already known that. To avoid being the third wheel on Adrien and Kagami's date, Marinette had asked Luka to join her at the ice rink. They had looked so comfortable together as they skated. Marinette was even perfectly trusting of Luka as he did some lifts and spins with her in his arms.

They had looked like a couple already. Adrien couldn't figure out why the news of Marinette and Luka dating somehow surprised him.

"Oh." Adrien cleared his throat and tried again. "Sorry, I didn't realize you two made it official after that ice skating double date. Congratulations."

Marinette blushed and dug the toes of her right foot into the step. Nino gawked as he whipped his head between Adrien and Marinette.

"Thank you, but we, uh-" Marinette shook her head, but refused to look at Adrien. "Luka and I- We didn't- we weren't dating after we skated together."

"So, after the two weeks you spent making Kitty Section's costumes then? Either way, I'm happy for you."

"Actually, we didn't start dating until this past Saturday." Marinette sounded sheepish, almost embarrassed to admit when she started dating Luka. "Wait a minute!" She perked up, bouncing on her toes a second as she whipped her body to face Alya and Nino. "Have we really looked like a couple this whole time?"

Both Nino and Alya laughed, nodded, and muttered a list of other reasons why it was 'so obvious' that Marinette and Luka liked each other.

Adrien didn't chime in. Instead he rested against the cement banister lining the large entrance steps to his school. He glanced down to the street, and was relieved to see his bodyguard pulling up to the sidewalk; a free space finally opening up.

"That's my ride. I gotta go." Adrien focused on making his voice as even and cheerful as possible. "Have fun on your group date tonight. I'll have to catch you all later."

"Did you want me to cancel so you're not alone?" Marinette took a step towards him, but Adrien put his hand up to stop her.

"Girl, are you kidding?" Alya barked. "The whole reason we're going out tonight is to celebrate you and Luka. You can't bail!"

Adrien gulped, and prayed no one saw his Adam's Apple bob. Taking another step towards the sidewalk, he shooed Marinette back up to their friends. "No, no. You go. Have fun. Enjoy spending time with your new boyfriend. Congratulations, again. Luka's a great guy. You two look good together."

"Oh. Uh, th-thank you, Adrien." Marinette froze on the steps. Behind her, Nino wrapped his arm around Alya's shoulders, and pulled her into his side so he could whisper in her ear. She responded with a shrug and a soft shake of her head.

There it was again. People acting weird around Adrien. Without another word, Adrien turned and jogged the rest of the way to the waiting town car. Despite being healthy, and his endurance at its peak outside of his superhero costume, Adrien's heart was racing as he rode home. His skin was clammy, and a chill ran down his arms.

"I think I'm getting a cold," Adrien informed Nathalie as she greeted him at the door of his father's mansion. "I'm going to go rest up before it becomes anything serious."

"Alright, Adrien. Let me know if you need anything."

"I will, thank you." Adrien then jogged up the stairs, and dashed into his bedroom. His heart wasn't beating quite as fast that time, and his skin didn't feel clammy. He still had a slight chill in his arms, and he still felt ill, but it wasn't as bad as when he had left his friends.

"You okay?" Plagg drifted out from behind Adrien's cover shirt. He didn't wait for an answer before phasing through the cupboard Adrien kept the Camembert in. A second later the door unlatched, and Plagg floated out with a wheel of cheese balancing on his bulbous head.

"I don't know." Adrien sat on the foot of his bed and stared at his hands. They were shaking slightly. Not enough to really be noticeable, but enough that he could feel them quake.

"Tough break about that date night thing. I could have gone for some popcorn." Plagg rested his snack on Adrien's desk, and then quickly chomped into it.

Adrien clenched his fists closed, hoping to stop the small tremors. His heart picked up pace a couple of beats as Plagg commented on the date night. Adrien wondered what was wrong with him, but figured talking about his friends could be the distraction he needed from his symptoms as he tried to drift off to sleep. He'd talk to Nathalie if he was still shaking after he awoke for dinner.

He kicked his shoes off and scooted back on his bed.

"Yeah. If only I could have gone with Ladybug."

Plagg cocked an eyebrow. "Yup. Quite the shame." He then took another bite of Camembert.

"I know, I know. You're not a fan of listening to me pine after Ladybug, and she doesn't like me pressing to know her identity. Still, it would have been nice to go on a date with her, especially with all of my friends. Although, I don't know how I would have kept a straight face knowing Alya was hanging out with Ladybug all night without realizing it."

Plagg snorted.

"Exactly." Adrien lied down. He stared at the ceiling for a couple of seconds before rolling onto his side and curling into a ball. "I don't know how welcome I'd be tonight anyway, even if I did have a date."

"That Nino kid seemed to want you there, and Marinette as well."

"Yeah, but they were also acting weird. Everyone has been so weird lately."

It had started on Monday. Mylène had greeted Marinette with a playful punch in the arm, and Ivan followed up by scooping her into a hug. He then told Mylène "called it," which granted him a placating pat on his back before the two squeezed hands and parted ways to take their seats. Alya's greeting for Marinette was fairly similar, with an elbowing of Marinette's arm, and a quick side-hug. At the back of the room, Rose and Juleka kept watching Marinette and whispering back and forth. Adrien felt concerned for Marinette at first, afraid that Lila had started something up again, but his friend seemed to be happy about all the attention, so Adrien left it be.

After morning roll-call though, everyone started acting weird around Adrien. Nino and Alya whispered around him. Marinette was more withdrawn from him than usual, as if she had felt guilty about something. Mylène kept checking in that he was alright. Alix kept laughing at how 'slow' Adrien was. He had just assumed she was trying to egg him into racing her like Kim had, but it came out of nowhere, and she never once actually tried to challenge him.

Tuesday things got weirder. Marinette never seemed so happy, practically floating throughout school. It was the first day Adrien saw her so consistently confident, and the first time the two of them held any sort of lengthy conversation without Marinette tripping – either physically or over her own tongue. Lila had pulled back from Adrien a bit, barely talking to him all week, but constantly studying him, as if she were appraising him. Chloé, on the other hand, was more clingy than usual. She kept telling him how perfect he was, and that any woman who would want any man other than him must be insane.

The whole week, people were treating him with kid gloves, like a major secret they all shared could break him. Just remembering how odd everyone had been acting gave Adrien another chill, so he tucked himself into bed, pulling the sheets tight around him.

Actually, we didn't start dating until this past Saturday. Marinette's voice popped into Adrien's head. His skin started feeling clammy again.

"Was that the big secret? Was that why everyone was acting differently around me all of a sudden?"

"Huh?" Plagg finished his cheese, and floated over to Adrien's bed.

"Marinette starting to date Luka. The first people to act weird were either members of Luka's band Kitty Section, or Marinette's closest friends like Alya and Alix. Alya even said today that the big group date thing was to celebrate Marinette and Luka finally dating. That has to be what everyone was talking about all week, right?" Adrien couldn't stop shivering, despite how tightly he wrapped the sheets around himself.

"Why act weird around me, though? Why didn't anyone want to tell me? Even today, Marinette didn't seem like she wanted to tell me. I know she likes Luka a lot-" Adrien ignored his heart beating hard enough that he could feel it. "She looked so happy all week, and it was probably because she's finally with the guy she likes. Why wouldn't she be more excited about telling me about it? If I could actually be with Ladybug I know I wouldn't want to shut up about it."

"I dunno." Plagg drifted to the pillow on the other side of Adrien's head, snuggling himself into the down. His voice was sleepy and disinterested. "Maybe they were worried about how you'd react."

"I'm Marinette's friend. I'm Luka's friend. Why wouldn't I be happy for them?"

"'Cuz they think you like Marinette?" Plagg yawned.

Adrien's eyes shot open wide. He couldn't believe that was the reason. There was no way! How could anyone think Adrien had a crush on Marinette? Just that afternoon Nino thought Adrien liked Kagami. Clearly Marinette was just a friend. A friend he would have been happy for, as long as she was in a good place. And she was with Luka. They were good together. Luka was a great guy. He'd treat Marinette well, like she deserved.

Adrien couldn't understand why anyone would think he'd be heartbroken to find out that Marinette was dating someone. It wasn't like he wanted to date her. It was silly that his friends seemed to think he did.

Totally insane.

She was a friend.

Just a friend.

He didn't have a crush on her.

Did he?

Well, Adrien, do you!? Huh!? :3 Why do I enjoy doing this to my poor son? 

As wonderful and fluffy as my conclusion to I Was Thinking Of You was, I wondered how Adrien would react to Marinette giving up on him, even if he didn't quite realize that was what was going on. The girls - Alya, Juleka, Rose, Mylene, and Alix - all knew about Marinette's love for Adrien, and, based on their pow-wow in Frozer, they seemed to believe Adrien liked Marinette back, at least at some level. So I thought they would be the main ones trying to "protect" Adrien from the news of Marinette and Luka finally getting together. By extension, while I don't think Ivan ever found out about Marinette's crush, I do suspect Mylene did let him know about the chaos surrounding Marinette's unrequited love, so I'm sure Ivan is happy Mari doesn't have to deal with that mess anymore.

I am a strong believer that Lila doesn't truly have romantic feelings for Adrien. She just finds him attractive, and wants to date him for the status symbol of it: something everyone would envy her for; something to make people jealous with. After finding out that Marinette, someone almost obsessively in love with Adrien, was dating someone else, and was incredibly happy about it, probably messed a bit with Lila's head as well. She probably wondered if Adrien wasn't as much of the "most eligible bachelor" as she thought. Maybe he isn't worth pursuing after all, which is why she spent the week studying him.

Chloe, on the other hand, got super defensive when she discovered Marinette's relationship. She may have been one of the last people to discover Marinette's crush, but after doing so, Chloe was just as shocked as Lila to find out that Marinette had moved on and was happy with someone other than Adrien. Clearly Marinette Dupain-Cheng was insane, and Chloe was going to make sure Adrien knew he was still worthy of love.

And Plagg, poor, sweet, exhausted Plagg. It killed him to not just burst out with "YOU COULD HAVE GONE ON A DATE WITH LADYBUG IF YOU HAD EVER ACTUALLY ASKED MARINETTE OUT, YOU DING-DONG!"

Anyway, thank you so much for reading. It means so much to me that you'd spend some of your time with my stories.

Ladrien June Day 17- Aspik

@ladrienjune

The battle was intense, yet another Akuma was after Adrian (Ladybug swore the boy cured as many Akumas as Chloe) If Ladybug wasn’t secretly Marinette, she may not have known what caused this poor girl’s heartbreak but sadly, she witnessed it first hand.

A girl in the grade below, Caitlyn, had asked Adrian out on a date, in front of everyone. The poor boy was at a lost for words, he clearly didn’t know this girl, let alone have feelings for her but he also didn’t want to hurt her. He stumbled over his words, trying to come up with the nicest rejection he could think of but unfortunately, Chloe bet him too it.

She was harsh with her words, not on,y telling the girl that Adrian didn’t even know her but that she was that much of a nobody that she’ll never meet the one and be alone forever. It was harsh to say the least. To add insult to injury, Adrian didn’t stop Chloe or defend the poor girl, Marinette had been furious with him. Caitlyn had run of crying, Marinette wanted to go after her but luckily she spotted a group of who she assumed were her friends, chasing after her instead.

She focused her energy on the pair of blonde teenagers instead.

She stormed up to Chloe first, sticking her finger in the girls face as she yelled.

“What the hell was that about?” Marinette would believe her ears when the girl just laughed, smirking down at her.

“The truth.” She replied, turning in her heel and skipping off, not giving Marinette a chance to even talking to her. She twitched in irritation until she remembered Adrien by her side. She spun to face him this time, a look of shock crossed his features at her sudden, aggressive movements.

“ and you!” He flinched. “Why did you do anything? Say something? You could have stopped her or denied what she was saying- “

A loud bang, interrupted her, she froze in sudden fear and worry, was that an Akuma? Loud scream could suddenly be heard around her as another bang went of even closer, defiantly an Akuma. Marinette’s blue eyes flickered back up to Adrien’s green once, looks like he came to the same conclusion as her, Caitlyn got akumatised...

That lead her to now, she had been transformed for around 15 minutes now and she hadn’t had the chance to even fight, sorrow, Caitlyn’s newly akumatised form. The Akuma was powerful and only wanted to spread misery and capture Adrien. So she had been running all around Paris, Carrying Adrien, hiding from her.

They had rested on a rooftop, Adrien pacing nervously while Ladybug tried to contact Chatnoir,who had been MIA this entire fight.

“Come on, Chat, where are you?” She bite her lip as she tried to call him again.

“Uh, Ladybug, w-what if Chat doesn’t come?” He awkwardly stuttered out. Ladybug whipped around to face him, a slightly glint of a challenge in her eye.

“Are you implying that he isn’t reliable?” She snapped, Why was she in such a bad mood? This was Adrien! Love of her life Adrien and here she was being a bitch to him. An image flashed into her mind of Caitlyns face, how heartbroken and crushed she was, in a flash it wasn’t Caitlyn anymore but her, Marinette stood before Adrien, tears in her eyes and Chloe belittled her, she silently begged Adrien to help her but he just turned away, not daring to speak up agaisnt Chloe, even at her own expense. Ladybug shook her head, getting rid of the image that was threading her blue eyes to water up.

“Look, Sorrow is strong, she’s after you and I don’t have any back up, Im stressed. “ it wasn’t an apology but it was hopefully enough to give Adrien some piece of mind about her ill tempter towards him.

It was silent between them for a few seconds as Ladybug tried to figure out a plan.

“Maybe, I could help somehow?” Adrien winced, he hated that he could transform and help his Lady out. Perhaps if he offered a really good place to hide, she’d leave him alone long enough to transform.

“No offence Adrien but-“ she paused as her eyes widen. “That’s a perfect idea!”

“Wait, what?” He was beyond confused, her tone was slightly aggressive yet, she complimented him? “I need you to hide for me.”

Adrien tried to hide a smirk, finally now he can transform and-

“I’m going to go and get you a Miraculous.” His face paled, that isn’t what he meant, he wanted to be Chatnoir, not someone else.

“Wait, Ladybug- I-I don’t think I’ll make a goo-“ ladybug cut him off my wrapping an arm around his waist and jumping off the building.

“Please. If Chatnoir can be trusted with a Miraculous, then I’m sure your fine” she laughed. She threw her yo-yo out and hooked it on a nearby structure, swinging them through the city.

Adrien held onto her tighter, a scrowl present on his features as he grumbling over her rude comment. He looked around his surroundings and notice they were almost at Master Fu’s neighbourhood. Surely she wouldn’t take him into Master Fu’s apartment, for all Ladybug knew, Adrian was just a civilian and revealing the secrets of the Miracle box to a civilian was irresponsible and risky.

His worry’s were soon addressed as she landed in a nearby alleyway, letting go off him and checking around the street attracted to it.

“Stay here, I’ll be back!” She whispered, her face all serious. Adrian felt himself smile, he really did love this women. He nodded back at her and crouched behind a dumpster, he listened for the familiar sound of her Yo-Yo disapearing a few street’s down (where he knew Master Fu lived.) he felt movement in his jacket pocket before Plagg flew up into his line of sight.

“This is going to be interesting.” The Kwami snicker, he looked genuine amused. Adrien sighed in relief, he was worried that Plagg would be upset with him for wielding another Miraculous.

“What do I do, Plagg?” He asked, his face presenting the true stress he was feeling over this.

“Just trust, Ladybug, kid.” Plagg smiled, “she knows what she’s doing.”

Adrien nodded firmly, Plagg was right, he needed more faith in his Ladybug. With or without the Black Cat Miraculous He was still Chatnoir and he was still going to be fighting by Ladybugs side.

After a few seconds they heard the familiar sound of Ladybugs yo-yo in the distance. Plagg quickly hide under the dumpster, Adrien sent him a questioning look.

“What do you think would happen to me if you used another Miraculous while I was in your pocket?” He deadpanned. Adrien hadn’t thought about that actually, he grimaced as he realised all his possessions dispersed when he was transformed.

“I’ll come back for you, sit tight.”

“I’m not going anywhere.” The tiny kitten curled up on the ground, ready for a nap.

Adrien sat up straight as he heard the sound of Ladybug land at the mouth of th alleyway. She took purposeful strides towards the dumpster, until she was standing directly above him.

“Adrien Agreste, Here is the miraculous of the snake, which grants the power of hypnosis.” Adrien grabbed the small jewellery box from her hands and opened it. A bright green like glowed from within the box, it slowly raised itself up into a sphere in front of Adrien’s face. The light dimmed, revealing a small Snake Kwami. “You will use it for the greater good. Once the jobs done, you will return the Miraculous to me, can I trust you?”

Adrien nodded to her in confirmation, a determined look across his features. He grabbed the bangle bracket from the box and slipped it onto his wrist, it first him perfectly just like the ring had. His stomach fluttered with excitement and a weird sense of déjà vu.

“I’m Sass, young master.” The Kwami greeted, bowing at Adrien. He was very different from Plagg, he was very polite for starters. Adrien felt a small twang in his heart as he thought about his poor Kwami hiding under dumpster. He shook the bad thoughts away, Plagg wasn’t upset with him.

“I’m Adrien, thank you for this honer.” He smiled politely. Sass preened at that, giving Ladybug an approving nod, as if to say he agreed with her choice.

“The words of transformation are, Sass,...” The Kwami trailed off as a look of disbelief showed on his features. Adrien furrowed his eyes brows in confusion, what was wrong? With cold blooded horror Adrien realised he was looking beside him, at the dumpster. Adrien, himself, turned his attention towards the dumpster, only to see Plagg giving the poor Kwami a death stare. Sass gulped as Plagg pretended to zip his mouth closed, before pretending to slit his throat. Adrien didn’t know if Kwami could sweat but he was sure that Sass was sweating bullets right now.

“Everything okay?” Ladybug asked, curiously.

“Yes, everything is fine.” Sass awkwardly announced far too loudly for it to be natural. “Anyway, Young Master Adrien. If you will?”

Adrien took a deep breath and closed his eyes. “Sass, Slither on.” He called upon his transformation. He felt a tingly sensation envelop his whole body, it was odd, he expected the transformation to feel like his as Chatnoir but this sensation was..familiar but different.

A few seconds later and the sensation stopped. He opened his eyes to see Ladybug smirking at him.

“How does it feel?” She asked, Adrien furrowed his brow for a second, really thinking about how it felt.

“Different.” He replied. She probably meant what was it like to be a hero but she couldn’t have known that he was in fact one already,so he told her his truth instead. It felt different being a hero still but in a different skin. She nodded her head in unsterstanding before taking her yo-yo from her side, swinging it around.

“Ready to go snake?” She laughed, she sounded amused.

“Yes.” He nodded, determination taking over his features. He looked back at Plagg and mouth ‘I’ll be back’ before turning back to her. “But please, call me Aspik.”

Cold Front - Sick Day

A follow up to Warming up kitty for @ao3bronte. More Ladrien, bit of sick/comfort, fever dreams and snot.

And yes. There will be more. I won’t leave it like this, don’t worry.

Start - Previous - Next

He woke up miserable. His head was pounding, nose running, eyes were blurry, and he was pretty sure he was going to cough up a lung soon. He lay in bed, too tired and shivery to even think about getting up, and he must look as bad as he felt because Plagg had taken one look at him and closed his mouth, patting his hair gently instead of demanding cheese. But even feeling his hair move hurt.

Father and Nathalie were home, but he knew they’d be too busy to look after him, and wouldn’t want to get close in case he was contagious, and he didn’t really want to alert them to his condition in case they started to ask questions. He wasn’t needed today anyway, so they probably wouldn’t even notice he was ill at home if he was lucky.

He whined, and closed his eyes again, regretting jumping in the river, only not because shower with Ladybug, but yes because this suuuuuucked.

Half an hour later he forced himself to get up, and wrapped his blanket around himself as he shuffled to the kitchen, only bumping against the walls twice, and Plagg helped him look for medicine and something easy to eat. Despite there being plenty of food in the house, there wasn’t really much that he could prepare or eat in his current condition. He eventually found medicine and Plagg grabbed a bottle of water for him from the fridge, and they slowly returned to his room. Plagg darted up as he was about to open the door, and he frowned after him until he heard movement from inside, and then the door was pulled open and Ladybug was there.

“’ady’ug? Wha’?”

“Adrien hi! Oh no, you’re sick. I came to check on you and talk about last night but wow you look bad. No, wait, not bad, you look guh. I mean, you don’t look well and Adrien?!”

She caught him as he tipped forward, and his nose hit her shoulder. Ow. Then she’d scooped him up just like she had last night and was carrying him over to his bed.

“’ouch p’eas,” he croaked.

She made her way there instead, and gently set him down in the corner, taking the water and medicine from him before arranging the blanket to tuck him in. She sat on the edge of the couch as she opened the drink and popped the tablets out, and helped him take them, then started to brush his hair away from his face. Warm blue eyes filled his vision, filled with kindness and something he hadn’t seen in a long time that he didn’t want to name.

“How’re you feeling now? Is there anything you need? Anything I can get for you? I… I can’t stay long I’m afraid, I was only planning a quick stop. Do you want me to call one of your friends so they can come sit with you? Or Nathalie maybe?”

He blinked slowly at her. She really was amazing. So kind and generous. So thoughtful and gentle and oh yes cold hand on his forehead that’s the good stuff right there.

“Hey hey, it’s ok, you’re ok. You’re really burning up huh. Oooh, what to do. Wait, you were planning a study day, weren’t you? I wonder if Nino will come over early to look after you. Urgh, how to do this….”

He whined as she pulled her hand away, stopping when she just placed her other hand against his forehead instead, and moved her first down to cup his cheek.

“Adrien? Adrien look at me? I’m going to go for a bit, ok? I’m going to go and talk to Nino and get him to look after you because I have somewhere I have to be. I’ll come back tonight to check on you, but you’re going to be ok. Oh don’t look at me like that.”

He huffed at her through his pouted lips as her hands pulled away and let his eyes fall shut. Of course she couldn’t stay. She must be incredibly busy. It was amazing that she’d come to see him at all.

Softness and a warm puff of air brushed his cheek, and then she was gone.

He slept again, maybe, because he was pretty sure he was having weird fever dreams. Father was dancing ballet while wearing nothing but a rainbow tutu and a Japanese swan potty on his head as Nathalie danced the robot in an inflatable snowman suit. Plagg grew a villain moustache which he kept stroking and twirling as he laughed over a seven foot round wheel of cheese. Chloe was skating on his ramp, in a punk rock outfit the really suited her, with Sabrina following her sporting a Mohawk and eight inch platforms, but then she walked over to him and morphed in to Nino, who looked really worried. Then Alya was there, and Marinette, and he felt himself being moved, and then he wasn’t sweaty anymore, and gentle fingers were in his hair and someone was helping him drink and then nothing.

When he finally woke up, it was dark. Slowly cracking an eye open he found it was night. His main lights were off and his bathroom door was just barely cracked enough to let a slither of light through. He coughed, then gasped. His nose was so bunged up he could feel it in his ears. Gentle fingers moved in his hair. He rolled his head and came face to hip with Ladybug. He tipped his head back, so he could see her face. She was smiling gently, blue eyes soft and kind and full of something he couldn’t place.

“Hey there. How’re you feeling now?”

He coughed and groaned, thumping his head in to her side. She chuckled, and kept her fingers moving.

“I came to check on you earlier, and you were really out of it. So I let your friends know, and they looked after you all day. Do you remember them being here?”

He tried to think before grunting. Maybe?

“That’s ok. They were really worried about you. They wanted to stay with you, but then your father…” she trailed off, and he could imagine the sour expression on her face from the tone shift.

“Anyway. They had to go home. But I wanted to check on you again.”

She was talking so softly, and her fingers were moving just right, it was hard to stay awake. He thought he should be bothered by the way her fingers moved. It was so familiar, the way they danced around where his ears should be. It meant something, but he couldn’t think what.

“Adrien?”

He hummed, then rolled so he was draped over her legs and was snuggling his face in to her stomach. This was more comfortable. And soft. And warm. And was even better when she relaxed (why did she tense up?) and leaned back so he had even more stomach to rub against.

“S’ay,” he mumbled. She snorted a laugh, and he felt her other hand rub at his shoulders.

“I was going to. But this isn’t exactly comfortable for me. Let go so I can get comfy, hmm?”

He frowned, considering this. If he let go, he couldn’t snuggle her belly. But she said get comfy, which possibly meant laying down, so maybe if he let go, he could snuggle some other bit of her?

He slowly loosened his arms and had started to roll back when he suddenly sneezed. Then again. And again. And then he couldn’t seem to stop and he was already short on air and was this how he was going to die? Death by sneezing caused by a cold wind? Really, universe?

When he finally stopped and was gasping for breath he felt something scratchy wipe at his face. He groaned and tried to turn away but a soft hand held his cheek still and oh, she was wiping up his snot. By all the shiny things he did not deserve her. At all. He forced his eyes open to see her leaning over him, smiling fondly.

“Feel any better for that?” she teased, eyes dancing.

He pouted. Then coughed a chuckle and nodded. He could actually breathe for the moment. It felt glorious.

“Good. Then sleep. I’ll be right back.”

He heard her get up and walk across the room, a door click, and then water running. He was trying to settle in to his pillow, searching for a spot that wasn’t damp when he heard cackling.

He glared at Plagg, who was floating above his head in his line of sight.

“I swear kid, your luck is something else. I had nothing to do with that, I promise. That was entirely on you.”

He was confused. What was on him?

“You sneezed all over her. She’s covered in snot. Oh sweet cheese, Tikki is not going to be happy about this.”

His eyes widened and he gasped. He’d done WHAT NOW?!

The water stopped, and he heard quiet voices, and he started to panic. Was her kwami going to come out here and yell at him? She knew who he was, so she’d know he was Chat and she’d want to know why he was so strange last night and how he’d ended up in the river and she was going to kill him. Cold boobs really were going to cause his death.

The door clicked, and she was suddenly beside him.

“Adrien?! What’s wrong? Shuush shush, breathe slower, calm down, you’re ok. Everything’s ok. You’re fine. Breathe. That’s it, you’re ok. Shuuuuuush. Come on, back under the covers. There, now go to sleep. I’ll stay till you are, ok. Just go to sleep.”

His traitorous eyelids lowered despite his efforts. He wanted to be awake when Tikki killed him after all. He turned his head to push it harder against the hand she was carding through his hair and she chuckled, scratching at that one spot she always got when he was Chat.

“There’s a good kitty. Go to sleep now.”

Wait. What.

[adrienaline-rushed-art]

AU where everything is the same except instead of Adrien and Marinette’s hero identities being their opposites - though I’d argue that Ladybug and Chat Noir aren’t their opposites, but that’s another post - they switch to basically acting like each other. 

They are already basically each other’s opposites, it’s part of their appeal. Opposite physical appearance: Hair color, clothing, opposite powers, opposite lives... 

and in a few ways, their personalities are opposite. I mean they’re both very kind and brave and smart... but Marinette is clumsy and shy, Adrien is coordinated and social. Marinette can be jumpy and maybe even hyper, Adrien is usually laid back and calm in nature. 

If you think about it, it would make sense for them to switch when they transform. We have reason to believe their powers actually give them a burst of courage, or at least that they can feel the power, because in Sandboy Ladybug immediately becomes nervous before realizing her powers are gone. So the powers should put her anxiety at ease to say the least, she’ll finally feel like she has control over something. And seeing her new confidence, people might approach her in ways that make it easier for her to socialize. She can still have a crush on Adrien and could have an easier time flirting with him. Imagine the marichat something like the scene from Evillustrator but with Ladrien :0 

She’d still be fond of Chat and could play around with flirting, maybe as practice or just for fun... either way she feels great in the suit! It’s so nice to not feel antsy all the time.

Now with the way Adrien thinks, he might take the flirting seriously, which could definitely lead to real feelings for her, aside from how amazing she is to begin with. Also, Ladybug could be the one who comforts Chat Noir in Origins. She gives him a pep talk and then turns to Hawkmoth and does her thing. 

This could work as a way to even self reflect, ‘take your own advice’ and all that. And it’s advice Adrien never really gets because he always looks like he’s doing fine.  I don’t want this to imply that Adrien is fake, a lot of the time an anxious person can genuinely believe they’re doing fine until they’re alone with their thoughts. But it is true that he is - essentially - not allowed to show weakness for the sake of his father’s brand. He’s not allowed to mess up. It’s a lot of pressure, but it’s also in his comfort zone. 

Being Chat Noir will bring him more confidence too, but it will be such a jump from the attention and responsibilities he’s used to. As opposed to empty fans who praise him for being pretty, he’s actually depended on for something. He has a purpose. This is very exciting to him, but I imagine he would feel ill-prepared. He’s never flirted with a girl he really likes, and even with his anime heroes teaching him the way, he trips over his words and stutters for the first time. It’d be such a rush to be Chat he might mess up a lot in battles too. He might drop things, fall over, be rash... he doesn’t really have his father looming over anymore and there’s a sense of freedom and power he doesn’t know what to do with. He might feel undeserving at first, which is why he would be the one being consoled in Origins. Who else would react so negatively to criticism but the son of Gabriel Agreste? 

But he’ll learn that he’s actually exceeding his father’s expectations and that Gabriel can’t touch him. Slowly his confidence will build in more ways than the strength the suit gives him so that he doesn’t have to depend on it to feel he has worth. 

anyone can add on to this if they want!

[words-writ-in-starlight]

for the spotify meme, what about... mmmm, either 42 or 93 for ladynoir (or adrinette or ladrien or marichat), whichever one works best?

I actually gave a plot rundown of this AU in this epic post of Tam Lin AU’s, so here is a scene instead.

93: Long and Lost - Florence + The Machine

all those bridges (now old stone)

Marinette prides herself on being a hard worker, on being someone who can be relied on and trusted, on getting things done.

However.

It’s the last gasp of summer, the sky blue barely edged with grey clouds promising rain, and her embroidery isn’t holding her attention nearly as well as it usually does.  She’s finishing a dress for the lady of the castle, the very first one she’s made entirely on her own, and she’s hoping to have the paneled skirt and the delicate red coils done in enough time to do a final check of the sizing before Alya’s birthday.  It takes some doing, keeping a secret hidden from the nobility that commands Marinette’s home, but she has eighteen days left and her best friend remains oblivious--despite the twins’ best efforts to get it out of her.

The fourth time Marinette catches herself holding the needle halfway through a stitch, staring out the window instead of focusing, she huffs in disgust and tosses the whole affair down, needle and all.  Her window is open, to bring in the sweet smell of ripening crops and the first edge of fall, but right now, as she leans out the edge, all she can smell is the heavy perfume of the roses on Carterhaugh.

The flowers bloom twice a year, once at the start of summer in June, and once just as summer dies and the leaves start to turn, in late September.  The field would be perfect for real crops--so close to the castle that it would make an ideal vegetable garden, broad and sweeping, but no one touches the roses.  Marinette doesn’t remember how old she was the first time she was told not to go to Carterhaugh, not ever, because it presses up against the trees on its far side and the Folk might creep out and steal away pretty girls and boys for their revels.  Marinette is not, entirely, convinced that she believes in the Folk, but roses have thorns and she’s never felt the need to try her luck.

Today, though--today the sky is clear and the sun is warm for what will probably be the last time all year, the air buzzing gently with the rising activity of the harvest, and the scent of the roses makes her feel restless, as if her skin is suddenly ill-fitted around her bones.  Marinette wants to do something new.

Carterhaugh is new.

She tucks away Alya’s gift before she can think better of it, pins her kirtle up to keep it from catching too much on the roses, and walks in her sturdy boots all the way out to Carterhaugh.

It’s delicate business, picking her way through the rose shrubs without walking into them.  They’re just barely shorter than she is in some places, mostly hovering around her shoulder, their handsome red heads nodding to themselves in her wake.  She’s caught her kirtle on three thorny shoots already, little scratches on her legs and arms where they’ve caught her skin, but she’s not bleeding, and when she takes a deep breath, the taste of sun-warmed earth and roses in full bloom is so heady and thick she feels like she did when she snuck some mulled wine (and then some more) last winter.

It stills the restlessness in her blood, somehow, wandering through the roses, and when the sun begins to decline, finally, when Marinette has wasted the whole day on a whim--the idea of it makes her feel guilty and delighted in equal measure--she reaches out to snap off a bloom, thinking to take it home with her.  A gift for her mother after a long day of arranging the finer points of a castle’s functioning, perhaps, or maybe just to dry in her window as a tiny sample of calm from the last days of summer.

The thorns bite her properly, this time, but not badly, slipping through the skin of her palm where the muscle curves down to her wrist so cleanly it barely even stings.  She tucks the rose into the pocket formed by pinning her kirtle to her hip and puts her mouth idly on the puncture, to keep the blood from spilling down her wrist.

This is how Marinette will always remember the moment that her life changed, with a rose at her hip and blood on her lips, on the last day of summer with the sun setting over the castle.

“I believe that’s mine,” the voice behind her says, and it sounds more amused than anything else.  

Marinette whips around, eyes wide, and feels her heart stop.

He is--not quite right, she’ll say that much.  Not quite a human being, more like a sculpture made by a master craftsman working from a careful description of what a human being should look like.  His eyes are too wide and too angled, his cheekbones and wrist bones so sharp they look imminently about to press through his skin.  The hand she can see is so long-fingered as to appear spider-like, the tilt of his stance just a touch too loose.  The gold of his hair is richer than ripe wheat or a king’s crown, and when he smiles, the teeth that flash behind perfect pink lips are as even and white as a lady’s matched string of pearls.

He is dressed in a doublet and hose and cloak, all in black, and Marinette, a seamstress at heart, can’t help but note that the fabric’s movement doesn’t match what she can see of the make--the cloak looks like thick, warm wool, she would stake her apprenticeship on it, but it ripples and falls as sweetly as fine linen.  Somehow it is this that unnerves her the most.

Any boy can be too handsome to seem quite right.  But fabric is real, something she understands and handles every day, and to see it ignore the rules she understands--she doesn’t like that much.

“These--these roses aren’t yours,” she finally manages to stammer out, when she’s collected herself enough.  “The roses belong to Lord Cesaire, and after he dies they will belong to his daughter, and they have been in their family ever since the first rose bush was planted here, and,” she adds, warming to her theme, “I think it’s fairly arrogant of you to wander out of wherever you wandered out of to spook girls and lay claim to whatever suits you!”

The stranger in black watches her rant with a look of fascination, still smiling at her, and when she stops, his smile widens and he takes a step forward.  His eyes are--very green, at close range.

“You can call me--ah,” he pauses and gives a breathless little chuckle.  “Black Cat.  It’s my pleasure to meet you.”

“Marinette,” she says, and automatically offers him a tidy curtsy, because it seems like the thing to do.  The gesture makes her sharply aware of how much like a child she must look, her kirtle tied up above her knee and tugged ragged by the thorns.  But when she rises, he’s still smiling at her, looking very much like one of the castle cats watching an interesting ladybug, and he gives her a very proper bow in return, like she’s a lady of status.  “And,” she blurts as he straightens up, “I am taking this rose.”

This time, he laughs properly, and it rolls out through the roses like a living thing as he bends over, bracing his hands on his knees as his hair tumbles loose around his eyes.  Marinette hopes very much that she has not just signed her own execution orders with this stranger, as she has an excellent view of the inhuman points of his ears at this angle.

When Black Cat finally collects himself--and it does take a moment--he reaches out and closes his hand around the stem of another rose, careless of the thorns, and breaks it off.  He offers it to her with another one of those smiles.

“I will offer you a bargain,” he says.  “You wandered into Carterhaugh and argued with a stranger, so I assume no one ever told you not to make bargains with one.”

“You assume incorrectly, but go on.”  Something wild is humming through Marinette’s chest, like the air before a lightning strike, the same restlessness that drove her out to Carterhaugh in the first place, and when he looks a bit taken aback at her rudeness, she grins fiercely at him.

“You take your rose,” he says.  “You made me laugh--that’s payment enough to be going on with.  And you can have this one, too.”

“What’s the price?”

He twirls the rose between his fingers and smiles angelically at her.  “Come back tomorrow.”

Feeling reckless and daring and very much alive, Marinette snatches the rose out of his hands and earns a matching puncture on her other hand, this time near the base of her ring finger.

“Done,” she says, and tucks the rose next to its mate in her kirtle.
