It has come to my attention that it's Period Drama Appreciation Week 2023. I love period dramas and grew up watching them. They have been a formative part of my life and I'm now too disabled to watch video. Even gifs are too difficult for my brain to process. It is also Bi Visibility Week and I'm posting this on Bisexual Visibility Day. Since I can't safely post a pile of gifs, here is a list celebrating actors/characters/moments from period dramas that have been significant to my bisexuality. [Yes, this is a big list. I am missing out on watching and re-watching A Lot of awesome period dramas and I hate it. This list is helping me reclaim a bit of joy. Also I've probably forgotten some favourites and may update this.]

Gotta love Kitty’s reaction here. Like she’s finally figuring out maybe GalPal isn’t the right way to describe her and Ilyana.

Also: I made it to Excalibur! My poor baby Kurt was in a coma for so long 😭. What if I told I couldn’t keep the smile off my face when I saw him up and swashbuckling again.

Jen Tortures Herself With Every Dreamworks Animated Movie Ever: Puss in Boots

So I remember seeing this movie in theaters, but I remembered fuck all about it until now. Of course, this is a weird case where the sequel in a side series is even more popular and beloved than the first one, and yet... the first Puss in Boots is actually pretty damn solid in its own right!

We focus on the titular Puss here, as he teams up with his estranged old friend Humpty Dumpty, and the alluring thief Kitty Softpaws, to steal the magic beans from Jack and Jill. All this is in the hopes that Puss can set a wrong right in the town he grew up in and clear his name by giving the town golden eggs from the golden goose.

A pretty simple setup, but it works well in the action/adventury tone this movie has. There's a lot of really fun action sequences, sword fights, chase scenes, so on and so forth, and they're all really well paced and flow really well. The plot is also pretty solid on emotions too, with some pretty poignant moments thrown in, especially between Puss and Humpty as we learn about their shared backstory and how things fell apart between them.

The characters are a lot of fun of course. Puss is great here, as usual, and works really well as a main character, with his confident, swashbuckling charm shining through. Kitty Softpaws is a delightful leading lady, spunky and whitty enough to prove a perfect romantic match for Puss. Humpty is also really fun, at first set up as a comic relief before being revealed as the twist villain, and I gotta admit, he's a twist villain done right. The movie actually foreshadows his turn really well and his motivation makes sense. He also ends up ultimately redeeming himself in a satisfying, if not bittersweet sort of way.

The animation is great here too. Maybe not as beautiful or stylish as its sequel is, but it's still very solid in its own right. I love how the world here has a spanish flair to it, something that shines through in the really solid score as well! It helps to set this franchise apart from the rest of the world of Shrek, making it feel like own thing while still paying homage to the fairy tales that world was built upon in the first place.

So yeah, the original Puss in Boots may not be as memorable or as much of a feast to the eyes as The Last Wish is, but I still think it's pretty good! I thoroughly enjoyed it all the way through, and I think, while it's not that connected to its sequel, it still feels like a really great way to establish Puss as a main character in his own subseries (the first Dreamworks subseries, surprised it took us this long to get to one). Check it out, if you haven't! It's pretty dang good!

Overall Rating: 7/10

Verdict: Get stalked by Humpty Alexander Dumpty for the rest of your life

Not sure if you've mentioned it before, but your recent asks got me thinking: do you hc any of your SM/OW faves having tattoos?

Yes!

In my SM universe, Minako definitely does, a set of garter belts on her thighs, with stocking "backseam" with a few little hearts in a line. She's very classy, and it was a bit the moment of a sexy impulse.

Haruka is not QUITE what I would call a lesbian fuckboy, but she certainly has fuckboi qualities, and so I know, in my heart of hearts, she would have tattoos. She's actually my most inked character. I think I can count on one hand the number of butches I know who DON'T honestly. So she has a common masculine AND I AM TREADING EXTREMELY LIGHTLY HERE tattoo on her forearm, so common I'm not even one hundred percent sure what it is: It says "Basic bro tattoo" in my notes *grits teeth*

So your short of single ijnked in band, or tribal, or a nautical star, or chevrons, or...I mean, you know exactly what I'm talking about, you've seen it on at least one butch lesbian in her life, and it was DEFINITELY done when she just got old enough because she wanted to look cool and tough. She laughs about it in her old age. Maybe even does something neat with it.

But also, she has a tattoo of the great wave off kanagawa on her left shoulder like this:

Which is for Michiru, and Michiru waits until they are like, 50, to tell Haruka that a tattoo was never something she necessarily wanted Haruka to do for her, and indeed only gave her parents other thing to criticize (Haruka knows this at this point) but also if one WERE to get a tattoo of the furious sea, she is more a WInslow or Aivazovsky type., Rembrandt if we long for low hanging fruit. ANd Haruka just laughs.

Going my full AU, once she gets hurt, and gets on with it, she decides that if people are going to stare at her scars she's going to give them something to stare at, with something that sort of plays with the appearance of her scars rather than trying to hide them--if it's a formal event she'll be wearing pants anyway, so who cares?--and it's a swashbuckling feather and flower and sword situation.

In OW land, Lena has the RAF insignia on her left shoulder with an banner that says "Oxton" underneath, the exact same one her father had, and her aunt, and her cousin Parvati also has. Pretty much any OXton who graduates from fast-jet training.

She also has the hello kitty bow on her buttcheek.

Fareeha has, of course, her canon tattoo, the eye of Horus under her eye and then also a hello kitty bow on her buttcheek.

Hana never got a tattoo while she was in the South Korean limelight trying to be the darling of Busan and soldier--she would have had to cover it up anyhow--and one of her first acts when she takes over as Commander of Overwatch is, impulsively and a bit stupidly, a flash sparrow on her on her upper chest, near her collarbone. It's silly and stupid, sure, but it was the first time in her life, that she can remember, where her body and her presentation felt purely her own, and if she wanted a stupid flash sparrow by god she was going to GET ONE. Later one she changes it a bit so it can mean a little something, but even before then she never hates it because of what it symbolizes.

So, uh.

Yoshi, i'm sorry, but the guy that was fulfilling your order.

He somehow confused the P in PEZ dispenser with an F, so uhm.

In stead of little candies, you have a bunch of hats instead.

"My order finally came in full of PEZ dispensers cause why the hell wouldn't I order a bunch of them?!"

"What the fuck are these? Who in gods name gave me a bunch of fezs...fezie's? fezi..., and why...why...are they so beautiful?!"

"Everyone, come get a fez!! There are so many different types!"

"Brief, you get the pirate Fez!! Here you go, you swashbuckler~!"

"Uh, okay, thanks? Arrr?"

"Stocking, you get this constipated looking kitty Fez!! Isn't it cute?"

"I hate being here so much..."

"Marin! You get the one that totally isn't cursed or going to end up killing you while you sleep!"

"Wait, what did you just say, Yoshi?"

"What about my Fez?! You haven't even put me on the muse list yet!!"

"Kaito...please shut the hell up and go back to the basement until you are told to come upstairs..."

"Please! I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK DOWN THERE....NOOOOOOOOO!"

For the whole history of KATHERINE ‘KATE’ PRYDE, please click here.

← ONCE THERE WAS AN IDEA TO BRING TOGETHER →

The swashbuckling, bad ass Red Queen that Kate’s become is certainly different than the bright eyed mutant she once was. That’s not a bad thing, either. Kate really likes who she’s become. She didn’t love getting murdered by Shaw, but otherwise it’s been grand. For the first time, she feels like herself. There’s no pressure to be Kitty Pryde, the one that everyone looks up to. She can get drunk and make out with her tattoo artist now, or save the world with the Marauders. There’s responsibility still, of course. In addition to leading the Marauders, Kate is the Red Queen of the Hellfire Trading Company and also sits on the Quiet Council. She can do all of that while also enjoying herself and helping her people. There’s still the fact that she can’t use the gates, but Kitty has secretly gone to Reed Richards for help. It took a long time for Kate to arrive at this point and shed her Kitty self, but she’s really glad that she did.

←  A GROUP OF REMARKABLE PEOPLE TO SEE IF THEY →

✗ EMMA FROST (616) tried to recruit Kate originally, but she went with Charles instead. Now, Emma’s made Kate her protégée. She brought her into the Hellfire Trading Company and also vouches for Kate and her abilities. It means a lot to have Emma believe in her, and somewhere along the line she learned how to love her. The two are incredibly close and while it’s a plot twist that Kate didn’t see coming, it’s a welcome one.

✗ LUCAS BISHOP (616) has become Kate’s right hand man and the Red Bishop in the Hellfire Trading Company. He may not have been an obvious choice at first, but the two compliment each other well and Lucas is loyal to a fault. If you’re in a fight, he’s someone you want to have on your side.

← COULD BECOME SOMETHING MORE  →

✗ THE MARAUDERS → Leading a team isn’t new to Kate, but the Marauders aren’t like the teams that she used to lead. They’re currently on their second round of members, and the new team is doing well getting their legs underneath them. After their stint in space with the Shi’ar, they’re back on the sea where they belong. It feels good to be home on the Marauder.

✗ OTHER AFFILIATIONS -- hellfire trading company. quiet council of krakoa.

← & IF WE CAN’T SAVE THE WORLD, WE’LL AVENGE IT →

✗ AGE → 25-30 ✗ MULTIVERSE ORIGIN → 616 ✗ SPECIES → mutant ✗ ETHNICITY → up to player / jewish ✗ SECRET IDENTITY → public ✗ RELATIONSHIP STATUS → open ✗ FACECLAIM → emily rudd ✗ AVAILABILITY → taken

“I don’t know how to use a gun” (With Kurt Waggoner, any Kitty)

N/A: So, since Kitty does not seem to exist in the Waggoner dimension I took the liberty to create one.

@djinmer4

Kitty Pryde: A fourteen years old girl who inserts herself in the punk life, or at least in the aesthetic by having some of her locks dye in a soft pink shade. Maybe the new look is a way to imitate her idol and caretaker Miss.Monroe.

The girl, while enjoying fashion and cute dresses is not ashamed of admitting she likes ‘boy stuff’ as well, like for example, being a swordfighter and have watched several movies and browse a plethora of books with the theme.

People always have this expectation that Kitty should know about computers and nothing else, and while computers are important, Kitty Pryde has no problem in break those expectations.

“Kitty, we have a mission for you” Miss. Monroe spoke warmly gaining Kitty´s attention “we need you to defend Kurt Waggoner for the time being”

Kurt Waggoner? Oh, right? that super genius kid, Professor X is going on and on about him and his intelligence, which considering Professor X is now a floating head that must mean something.

Kitty, living with Storm for all her life never meet kids of her age, not that she minds terrible, she got to meet wonderful persons like Betsy(Kitty have the suspicion that Storm and Betsy may be more than friends, but any confirmation has been made yet) Jean, Scott and even Hercules and Wolverine…but never someone on her own age.

“I accept the mission, and my sword is his sword”

“I was wondering when you would quote Lord of the rings today”

She was succinctly about Nightcrawler, he lived with Wolverine and Hercules, is a super genius and is German(there´s not much to work with this but Kitty likes a challenge) all the images she is fabricating of him are inconsistent with the next one.

Finally, Kitty meets Kurt Waggoner, the super genius is nothing like the image she was crafting in her mind, Kurt is extremely shy, blue and seems frightened of her.

Is the sword? Oh, must be the sword.

“Hi, my name is Kitty Pryde, the X-men send me here to protect you” for a tiny moment she thought Kurt would have a problem with a girl protecting him, however, this has quickly vanished.

“ Oh, hello, my name is Kurt Waggoner, thank you for protecting me and I´m sorry”

“For what?”

“Your job will not be easy”

Kurt Waggoner: Is a very intelligent, no doubt about this fact, but, Kurt also is extremely shy and doesn´t understand how to communicate with the people of his age, well, to be fair, there are several issues preventing him to have a social life.

One of them is the fact he is blue and looks like the devil weight more than him being super smart.

Of course, the idea of bringing Kitty here is not so much to deal with protecting and more with interaction, Wolverine is worried about Kurt and while the blue boy is touched by the gesture, he does not think the coming of this girl will make any change.

Well, maybe I was wrong.

Kitty sits next to him and talks about her day and asks about his, she doesn´t show disgust or fear for his appearance(she confess, once after a month here, she was afraid of his accent “it is silly now” “why my accent?” “…I´m Jewish”) prompting the genius to know more about Kitty´s life to make sure she is alright here.

Kurt is label as monster, demon, mad genius and amongst others things that aren´t worth mention or think about it, however, Kitty may be the first to call him the fuzzy elf.

“Fuzzy Elf, we are under attack, stay close to me” Kitty commands drawing her sword fiercely.

“I never use a weapon before” Kurt respond sincerely.

“Is ok, I´m here to protect you, Kurt, well, Wolverine is here to protect us all ” she jokes “ but, fear not Elf, I´ll not let the bad guys catch you”

Kurt Waggoner saw many swashbuckling movies and understand that this is the part where the pretty damsel in distress melt in admiration and love for the hero, Kurt never in his many calculations thought he would be the pretty damsel in distress.

Not objecting.

#kurtty #kurt waggoner #kitty pryde #au of au I guess #yes I love Ororo/Betsy and they are a cute ship #wolverine and Hercules is a nice ship too #kurt is a genius but I was thinking in making him a crazy genius if this become an series of au #Kurt is in love #and no math or science can help #wolverine #hercules #Betsy Braddock #kitty is the swashbuckling here #kurt likes it #punk!kitty #Sure why not?

Silver Siren

Happy New Year!!! This is not a New Years story, but it is a story that I am using New Years as an excuse to post it. LOL

*****

Luka Couffaine was often described as the most relaxed and chill guy that anyone could ever meet. Often seen with his guitar on hand, playing what he would call a person's heart song. He was also described as a protective older brother to his sister, Juleka. Especially when it came to her friends.

The only ones that Luka really knew were Rose, Ivan, and Mylene as they were the ones that came over the most often. This was the first time that the entire class was on the Liberty. And if Luka was being honest with himself, he was most intrigued by Marinette, Lyon, and Adrien.

While he had not met Adrien personally yet, the things he had heard from the class made him curious about the model. Marinette also seemed really sweet and the type of person that could brighten a room just by walking into it. And Lyon seemed similar to himself, calm and easily just as observant.

Lyon and his sister had seemed almost like him and Juleka. They liked to be off to the side and observe. They also spoke of animals and plants like they spoke of music, that it relates to everything and everyone. Luka was amazed by their heart songs. So full of life, harmony, and with a slight sense of mysteriousness.

But most of Luka's cool, calm, and collected personality was thrown out the window when his mother got akumatized into Captain Hardrock.

"A treasure in return for freedom," Anarka says. "Ho, ho, ho then I shall be your pirate Hawkmoth."

Black and purple smoke covers the ship.

"Oh no," Luka hears Marinette gasp.

Captain Hardrock rose up. Captain Hardrock has long red hair that is spiked upwards and golden eyes. The upper half of her face is covered with a black mark edged with dark red and she wears a black bandana with a white spiky-haired skull on the front, along with gold circular earrings.

She wears a bodysuit that is red from the collar to the chest and black from the chest, the color separation looking like flames. Her suit includes three yellow buttons vertically on her lower body, three golden spikes horizontally over each knee, and a golden patch above each hip. She has two black belts, one going around the body diagonally and the other wrapped around the waist, that have golden buckles. Over her suit, she wears a black captain jacket with golden inner lining, golden spikes on the shoulders, golden edges, and golden buckles on the sides. Black fingerless gloves with golden edges around the upper holes cover her arms up to her elbows. Her knee-high boots that end below the knees are black and red in a flame-like pattern with black soles, golden heels, black inner lining, and black stripes with golden spikes above the ankles.

"Raise the mainsail, me deck hands let's get swashbuckling around here," his akumatized mom orders.

"Mom," Juleka asks, shocked and scared.

"What's going on," Luka asked, concerned.

"Your mom has weighed anchor, me lad," the akuma says. "I'm Captain Hardrock and today Paris's timbers are about to be shivered by my cannons."

The captain looks through a telescope. Luka took that second to make a quick headcount. He realized that the Greek twins were not on board the Liberty anymore. Remembering that the two were close to the gangplank when all this started, he figured that they had most likely had gone and went to get help.

"Westward ho, Liberty next stop," she orders. "Jagged Stone at the Eiffel Tower. Soon, there will only be one concert in Paris only one Music Festival. We will destroy all the others. Now, get to your instruments and rock those decibels!"

"Mom please, you can't ruin the Music Festival," Luka calmly pleaded.

"You can't force people to listen to your music," Marinette tells the villain.

"No way we're playing like this," Ivan yells.

"Mutiny," Captain Hardrock sounded offended. "On my ship! Liberty, seize these scallywags and throw them down into the hold!"

Chains shot out from different places on the ship. But before any of the teens could react, arrows started flying over their heads and hit the chains. Every chain that an arrow hit instantly froze into ice. Then the next thing that they knew, another weapon flew past them and shattered all the ice chains.

Floating near the ship, above the water, was Beautifly with her shield-sized razor blade flower. And looking over, back on land, was White Wolf. His bow was still at the ready. Luka was amazed that the two got there so quickly and figured that it was because of Lyon and Vallia. He had seen the two newest heroes of Paris on the news and the Ladyblog, but this was the first time in person.

"If I was Cat Noir, I would probably make a very bad ice pun right about now," Wolf smirked. "But I'll stick to freezing things with my arrows."

"And I am happy you are," Beautifly giggles. "I mean, Cat is a great hero and all, but I am very close to slapping him over those cat puns."

"Creatures of the land and air are not welcome on my ship," Captain Hardrock shouts, pointing her sword at the butterfly girl.

"Do I look like I'm on your ship," Beautifly floated around. "If you haven't noticed, I'm not even touching the ground let alone your ship."

"Lock this fly in the brig, Liberty," Captain Hardrock ordered.

Chains, once again, shot out from different parts of the ship. They headed right for the butterfly hero. But unlike Ladybug, Cat Noir, and even her own partner White Wolf, Beautifly is able to fly. But that is obvious at this point. It did give her an advantage over most akumas. The way that she was currently flying around to avoid the chains was one very good example of these advantages.

"I'm a butterfly, thank you very much," Beautifly put her hands on her hips.

She made a quick dive back toward the water, flying barely a foot above it. The chains would hit the water instead as she gracefully dodged them. But she soon made a quick shot upwards as she got close to where her partner had been standing. That allowed him to fire a volley of arrows at the chains following her. Each one of them was soon frozen into ice. She quickly shattered them with her razor flower.

"Nice try, Jackie Sparrow," Wolf smirked.

Beautifly facepalmed. "What you lack in puns, you sure make up for in pop culture references."

"What can I say," Wolf shrugged. "I love American movies."

The kids still onboard the Liberty, meanwhile, seemed to finally get out of shock over the heroes showing up so quickly.

"We need to get off this ship," Alya quickly says.

"How," Ivan asked. "Do you want us to jump into the seine?"

"Would you rather be chained up on this ship," Alya countered.

"All ashore that's going to shore," Ivan headed right for the edge of the boat.

"Never thought I'd have to walk the plank of my own house," Juleka says, surprisingly still as calm as she was during the Horrificator incident.

"Why is everyone in the Couffaine family so shockingly calm," Marinette whispered to Alya.

"Your guess is as good as mine, girl," Alya whispered back. "But they can't all be that calm. Captain Crazy, over there, is one example."

"I am suddenly very grateful for my normal mother," Marinette says. "Yet, I am also intrigued by everyday life in the Couffaine household."

"I hope my crew isn't planning on jumping ship," they were caught in the act by the akuma.

"Shoot," Nino swore.

With a slash of her sword in the air, Captain Hardrock sent another round of chains toward them. Only this time, White Wolf was not fast enough with his bow. He tried, but people need to remember that nobody's perfect. The group of teenagers was soon all grabbed by the chains and pulled below deck.

"Oh, Hades," Beautifly swore. "Now we're going to need a rescue mission. Where are that cat and bug?"

"Don't ask me," Wolf said, freezing another chain.

Meanwhile, Adrien had been in his room. He was watching the news broadcast about the music festival. His father had not allowed him to go to the Liberty and play the keyboard for Kitty Section. He was pretty salty about that. (AN: An ocean pun inspired by Captain Hardrock. hehe.)

"Breaking News," Nadja Chamack interrupted the fun stuff.

"Huh," Adrien knew what this most likely meant.

"Another akuma attack is in progress along the seine," Nadja reported. "This akuma's goal seems to be to take over the music festival with its rock music by taking out all the other musical acts in the city."

"Some people just don't appreciate good music when they hear it," Plagg says, munching on some of his cheese.

"Plagg, claws out," Adrien did not have time for his sarcasm since he knew his friends were at the same river.

His friends may not currently be in much danger, but they were being held prisoner.

While the room wasn't really a brig, but the teens were still trapped in it. Ivan and Mylene were chained together, as were Nino and Alya. Rose and Juleka were both alone in their chains while Luka and Marinette were also chained together.

"You don't seem very worried, Marinette," Luka noticed.

"I am, but this isn't really my first time being held captive by an akuma," Marinette says. "Even if the Evillustrator considered that situation a date."

"Alright," Luka accepted that.

"Alya, remind to apologize to Nathaniel later for bringing that up," Marinette said.

"Girl, I am pretty sure that he wouldn't mind," Alya says. "Nath is almost as forgiving as you. And that says something considering that you could forgive anyone for anything."

"Not anything," Marinette protested. "If anyone insults my parent's bakery, I'll open up a can of butt-kick of fighting techniques that my mother taught me."

The way that she said that so sweetly was enough to send shivers down most of their spines.

Marinette then looked down. She saw Tikki waving at her, having come out of her purse to silently aid her. The kwami phased into the lock on her and Luka's chain, taking a little bit before the lock opened with a quiet SNAP.

"Wow, how'd you do that," Luka asked her.

"Uhh, I, Uhm..." Marinette had to think fast. "With this."

She holds up a guitar pick.

"You're amazing," Luka praised her. "A real magician, Marinette."

"You think so," Marinette asks, going all nervous like how she does around Adrien. "Oh, it was nothing, uh, amazing, really?"

"Excuse me, but some of us are still chained up here you know," Alya says, rolling her eyes.

Before either of the freed teens could do anything, they heard Captain Hardrock walk downstairs and laughing.

"Marinette, she's coming," Nino warned them.

"We'll come back, I promise," Marinette says as she and Luka leave the room quickly.

The two ended up locking themselves in Luka's own bedroom. They had to work quickly as Captain Hardrock soon broke in.

"Run, Marinette quick," Luka yelled out the window.

"Seize him," Captain Hardrock some more chains to catch her son.

It all happened faster than Luka could blink. Chains shot through the open door in order to trap him again. But at the same time, a trio of arrows flew through the open window/porthole and froze all of the incoming chains.

Luka turned around and saw that White Wolf was hanging from an icy-looking rope outside the window.

"My outfit is bright white, how do people miss me," he joked.

"Uh..." Luka had no idea how to respond to that.

"Whatever," Wolf shrugged. "Move that fine-looking butt, handsome, you're getting off this Black Pearl wannabe."

Luka blushed, even if he hid it very well. He didn't have much time to really try and think of anything as his mother was currently breaking through the frozen chains on her way to capture him again.

Taking White Wolf's hand, he was just barely able to get through the porthole.

"Time to leave," Beautifly tells them, seen fighting more chains with the newly arrived Cat Noir.

Luka had to immediately tighten his grip around White Wolf's waist as the icy hero fired another ice rope arrow. The two swung away on the rope, landing on the shore of the seine.

"My sister and friends are still in there," Luka immediately tells him.

"I know," Wolf says. "We will try to get as many of them off of the boat as possible. But we might need to also rely on Ladybug's Miraculous Cure if we can not."

"I understand," Luka said.

"Stay safe, Mr.Couffaine," Wolf tells him, running back into the battle.

Luka couldn't help but get lost as he caught a glimpse of the hero's beautiful eyes.

"Flirt later, Wolf," Beautifly calls.

"Yeah, that's my job," Cat Noir jokes. "OW!"

Beautifly had hit him on the back of the head.

"Sorry, I'm late," Ladybug apologizes, swinging into the fray.

"All heroes are allowed to be late every once in a while," Beautifly stated, blocking a chain with her razor flower. "May I remind you of Cat Noir's late arrival to the fight with Riposte."

"He also told me you were quite late during an akuma attack by someone called the Evilistrator," Wolf said. "That name, by the way, is horrid."

Captain Hardrock, unfortunately, then made her reappearance on deck. She was already angry over her son escaping the Liberty and seeing the four heroes together did not help her mood. She raised her sword.

"Capture those pests, Liberty," she ordered.

The heroes started flipping, jumping, and flying in Beautifly's case to avoid the flying chains. White Wolf aimed another of his arrows at the chain, but Captain Hardrock was having it this time.

"Liberty, fire," she ordered her ship.

One of the cannons aimed at the icy teen. But instead of a cannonball coming out, the cannon fired a soundwave of rock music. It was almost like the soundwave effect that Black Canary causes with her canary cry. It washed over the Greek hero.

White Wolf covered his wolf ears on the top of his head, yelling in pain. The sound was loud and horrible, actually causing pain with his enhanced wolf hearing. When Captain Hardrock sent more of her chains his way, Ladybug quickly threw her yo-yo around his waist and pulled him away from them and the sound blast.

"Leave it to me to face an akuma with sound powers when I have enhanced hearing," he shook his head like he had swimmer's ear.

"Just be happy that you and Beautifly weren't here when we were fighting Guitar Villain," Ladybug said.

"There was seriously a villain with that as a name," Wolf raised an eyebrow. "Does Hawkmoth have no creativity at all?"

"That remains to be seen," Cat Noir comments. "His villain names range from weird, to good, to not very original at all."

"Jagged Stone ahead, Liberty fire," Captain Hardrock ordered.

The ship fired its sound cannons again, only this time entire speakers were shot out. The speakers landed and attached themselves all around Jagged Stone's music area at the Itfil Tower. The music was so loud that it caused cracks to spider all around where the speakers landed.

"Where's a pair of earplugs when you need them," Beautifly remarked.

"Are you the one with sensitive ears, I don't think so," Wolf commented. "My ears are still ringing from that earlier blast."

"What do you think her akumatized object is," Beautifly asked.

"It has to be something on the ship, otherwise she wouldn't be able to control it the way she does," Ladybug theorizes.

"I could Cataclysm the entire ship," Cat Noir offered, raising the hand that he uses to destroy things.

"No," Ladybug instantly shut that idea down.

"There are hostages on the ship, Cat," Wolf informs the hero. "If you sink the ship, they might drown."

"Myself and White Wolf only managed to get one of them off the ship before you two showed up," Beautifly says. "The rest of them are still trapped somewhere on there."

"I think he is Anarka Couffaine's son Luka," Wolf said. "He might know why was hit by the akuma. I'll ask him."

"Fire at XY," Captain Hardrock commanded, the Liberty shooting more of its speakers at the Justin Beiber wannabe.

"Well, do it fast," Ladybug told him, then swung away toward the ship.

"She knows that we're not her sidekicks and she doesn't have to order us around like that, right," Wolf crossed his arms.

"We can tell her off later, let's go, Cat," Beautifly ordered, flying toward the ship.

"We are around some seriously bossy ladies," Cat Noir commented, before using his staff to get to the ship himself.

"I am surrounded by weirdos," Wolf shook his head.

He took his bow in hand, notching another arrow. He aimed it to freeze one of the cannons closed when the akuma saw what he was doing.

"Fire," she ordered.

Another sound blast came right at him. He covered his wolf ears as the sound really hurt with his magical hearing. His bow and arrow fell to the ground. He could hardly tell when another person ran up and picked up his bow. Said person aimed it at the cannon, fighting the headache that the sound was causing. The arrow froze the shooting cannon, stopping the sound.

"I never liked rock music before, and I am most certainly not going to start now," Wolf says, getting up.

"Are you okay," asked the person that fired the arrow.

White Wolf looked and saw that it was Luka that had picked up his bow.

"I'm good now, Mr.Couffaine," Wolf says. "Thanks for the assistance."

"You can call me Luka, White Wolf," Luka tells him.

"Alright, then, Luka," nobody can say that superheroes aren't great actors. "It was very brave of you to use my bow. Very telling as well."

"Telling," Luka was confused.

"Most civilians would be afraid of turning to ice by touching one of my arrows," Wolf explains. "It shows that in maybe another life, you would have made an excellent fit for the wolf miraculous."

"Wow," Luka was still as cool as they come.

"Anyway, did you see what object the akuma landed on," Wolf asked the blue and black-haired boy. "Destroying it is the only way for Ladybug to de-evilize your mom."

"I didn't see exactly, but it is most likely her compass," Luka says. "She has always said that a compass is a sailor's most prized possession."

As someone that grew up near the water, White Wolf actually understood that. He wondered how much easier Odysseus would have gotten home if he had just used a map and compass instead of the stars and a lot of faith. As much as he believed in the gods, common sense is also a thing to believe in.

White Wolf noticed the ice on the cannon starting to crack. He quickly scooped Luka into his arms and ran away just in time as the ice shattered and the sound blast started up again. The two barely got away in time. The sound waves just missed them. White Wolf put Luka down a little way more away from the akumatized ship.

"Stay here, Luka," Wolf directed.

"I have to help," Luka tells the hero. "White Wolf, there has to be a way for me to help."

White Wolf looked at the blue-haired teen. He had shown great bravery when he picked up his bow. Not many people, let alone teenagers, would do such a thing. An image of a silver box flashed into his head, giving him an idea.

"Wait right here, Luka," Wolf instructed. "If any of the others ask, tell them that I went to get help. Beautifly will understand what I mean."

Luka nodded as White Wolf got out his bow again. Using an icy rope, the Greek hero swung away from the Seine. He had no idea what the wolf hero was up to.

The holder of the wolf miraculous landed in an alley on the other side of the street from a beautiful jungle-like flower/garden shop. He de-transformed and out of the alley walked Lyon Garden. The dubbed Ice Prince made his way to the flower shop, greeting his father on the way in. He quickly made his way up to his room, which from what his sister, Vallia, had told him was almost like Marinette's bedroom but made for him instead of her.

Lyon went over to the bookshelf he keeps in his room. He pulled back the one book on the shelf that did not have a title on the spine. In a bit of a cliche turn of events, the bookshelf slid tp the side to reveal a hidden compartment. From the compartment, he pulled out a secure but elegant silver box. It was in the shape of a large jewelry box with bright blue markings that looked like a cross between ice and vines. Silver roses also were dotted around the box.

Lyon opened the box lid, revealing several other pieces of jewelry inside of it. On a raised area of the box was a place for hour pieces of jewelry. The ones marked for the wolf and butterfly miraculous were empty. But there was a bluebird necklace in the space for the miraculous of the songbird and a stag brooch in the place for the stag miraculous. The other miraculouses at the top of the box were around the raised area. A deer head pendant for the deer miraculous, a black snake armband for the python miraculous, a black panther pendant for the panther miraculous, a brown bear cuff bracelet for the grizzly bear miraculous, a feather hair clip for the falcon miraculous, and a white bird hair comb for the dove miraculous.

"I know the perfect choice for this akuma," Lyon talks to himself.

He picked up a necklace before quickly sealing the box back in its hiding place and leaving.

Back at the battle with Captain Hardrock, the remaining trio was having a bit of trouble with fighting off the chains as well as trying to search for her akumatized object.

"I have never seen Pirates of the Caribbean, and this is not making me want to," Cat Noir comments, jumping out of the way of more chains.

"There is a reason why pirates have never been very recorded in Greek history," Beautifly says. "Because there weren't any."

"Seriously," Ladybug raised her eyebrow at that.

"I'm pretty sure," Beautifly shrugs. "I'm a butterfly hero, you really think I know much about pirates at all?"

"I agree with her, only replace butterfly with black cat for me," Cat Noir says. "Cats and water do not mix, in any form."

There was a reason why being surrounded by frost and ice weakened him so much when Lady Wifi locked him in that freezer. Cats and water have never mixed.

"Heads up," Beautifly warned, darting around in the sky to avoid the chains coming her way.

"Fire at Nightingale," Captain Hardrock commanded.

The Liberty shot out more speakers at the energetic pop star.

"Beautifly, where is White Wolf," Ladybug practically demanded.

"I don't know, but I do have a pretty good idea," Beautifly tells her.

"He just abandoned us in the middle of a fight," Ladybug snapped, using her yo-yo to fight off chains.

"Need I remind you that we are not your sidekicks," Beautifly snapped back, blocking chains with her razor flower. "We don't have to inform you of everything we do. I trust that White Wolf has a plan. I do not immediately go for such negative thoughts."

"If he has a plan, he should have told us," Ladybug did not back down. "Maybe he would have if he didn't stop with those ridiculous pop culture references every other sentence."

"Not all heroes have to be stern and serious to be good heroes, Bug," Beautifly did not take any crap if someone insults her brother. "Have you ever seen videos of the Flash? He never seems all that serious, but succeeds every time in his fights."

"I've seen news of his battles, and Beautifly does have a point," Cat Noir said.

But before the other female hero could try to find a comeback, one of the chains managed to hook itself to Cat Noir's left wrist.

"Oh crud," Beautifly swore.

Cat Noir was pulled up to the crow's nest and his hands were pulled to either side of him as he was chained down by his wrists.

"Cataclysm," Cat Noir shouted.

His right hand bubbled with black energy, signaling his power of destruction. With a twist of his hand, he was able to free himself from the chain holding him to the crow's nest.

"Great, because you had to act all high and mighty with trying to boss us all around, Cat Noir now only had five minutes," Beautifly snaps at the red and black hero.

"He should have been paying more attention to what was going on around him," Ladybug countered. "He was probably too busy trying to think up another joke or another lame pick-up line to focus on the fight."

"Or maybe you distracted him by treating us all like sidekicks," Beautifly did not back down.

"These two fight more than most would think me and White Wolf would," Cat Noir thinks. "The whole cats and dogs hate each other stereotype and all that."

That was when the icy hero finally made it back to the fight. He landed not too far from where Luka was trying to keep up with the ship.

"Are those two seriously at it again," he asked the teen in blue.

"It is quite ironic," Luka says. "But their music has no way to harmonize. It is too different and can barely even be in the same song."

"It's funny that you mention harmonizing," Wolf smirked.

"Pardon," Luka faced the hero.

White Wolf pulled out a small silver box from under his cloak. It was like a mini version of the Miracle Box in his room, only square-shaped.

"Luka Couffaine, this is the miraculous of the songbird, symbolized by the gift of heart," Wolf held the box out to him. "You will use it for good in this time of need. After the battle is finished, I shall return to retrieve it should you choose to accept it."

"I...I do," Luka was actually showing shock. "I accept the miraculous, White Wolf."

Luka opened the box, and a ball of light came out. It soon turned into a kwami, but this one was a cute bluebird one.

"Geia, young holder," the kwami greeted. "My name if Meloetta and I am your kwami."

"My kwami," Luka was confused.

"Kwami's are what give me and the other heroes our powers," Wolf explained. "They are also generally good friends and guides of sorts for us."

"Wow," Luka says.

He took the necklace out of the box, putting it around his neck. The color blended quite well into his natural style choice as well as the fact that he was a musician wearing a songbird around his neck. Part of him wanted to ask the wolf hero if that was part of why he had chosen this particular miraculous for him. But he shrugged it off as a coincidence.

"All you have to say is 'Meloetta, let's rock,' and you will transform," the kwami explained. "To de-transform, you say 'concert's over.' Your special power is activated by saying 'Harmonize."

Luka nodded at the kwami.

"You ready to be a hero," Wolf asked.

"I'd do anything for my friends and family," Luka says. "Meloetta, let's rock."

"At least my weapon isn't a children's toy," Beautifly shot at Ladybug.

"Yours is nothing more than an oversized daisy," Ladybug countered.

The two of them were back-to-back fighting off the chains while constantly trading insults back and forth. It also seemed that because of the two's constant fighting with each other, Captain Hardrock had basically forgotten about Cat Noir altogether. He was just watching from the crow's nest and also scanning the ship with his eyes to see where the akumatized object could be.

White Wolf soon landed next to him.

"And Ladybug calls the two of us annoying," he raised his eyebrow at the cat hero.

"I don't even pretend to know anything about girls," Cat Noir put his hands up in defeat.

"Good, because I know a few girls back home that would skin you alive if you tried to ever say that you were a girl expert," Wolf chuckled.

"Even with that little bit of information now permanently etched into my brain, I still would want to visit Greece someday," Cat Noir snickers.

"Not like we'd ever deny the help against the myth spirits," Wolf commented.

"So, was Beautifly right when she guessed that you were getting help," Cat Noir asked.

"When is she ever wrong," Wolf smirked.

Another flying hero then came out of nowhere, even if White Wolf did know where he came from. Moving so fast that he was basically a blur, he used his weapon to slice his way through all the chains until there were none left.

"What in the world," Ladybug was shocked.

"I should have known that Wolf was going to chose that miraculous," Beautifly grinned.

"What," Ladybug gasped.

The new hero finally stopped, and everyone was able to get a good look at him. He was in a silver jean vest with matching jeans. He was now also had a turquoise t-shirt with darker silver boots. On his hands were turquoise fingerless gloves. His hair was the same black with blue streaks. And to the shock of Ladybug and Cat Noir, he also had angel-like bird wings that were also silver. The bluebird necklace was still around his neck, matching the bird's eye-like mask over his eyes.

In his hand was an ax-like weapon that also resembled a hybrid of a guitar and a lyre.

"Hope I am not late to the party," the new hero comments.

"You're right on time," Wolf smirks.

"Who are you," Ladybug did not like another miraculous being out and about, as when she recruited Alya to be Rena Rouge was risky enough.

"You can call me... Silver Siren," the newly named hero smiled softly.

"Finally, another hero with wings," Beautifly giggles. "I was getting lonely up in the air all by myself."

"Happy to be of assistance to you, Beautifly," Silver Siren smiles at her.

"Guys, we may need to speed this up," Cat Noir shows his ring as it blinked to show he had three minutes left.

"Gottcha," Beautifly gives him a thumbs up.

"Luka said that the akuma is most likely in the compass," Wolf says.

"Once you freeze it, Beautifly and I can destroy it," Cat Noir said.

For once, Ladybug had to play catch-up as the other four heroes went back to battle Captian Hardrock. The akuma did not look happy that another hero had joined the fight.

"Another pest in the sky," she snarled. "Get them, Liberty."

Chains shot at the team from all angles.

"Nature's Heart," Beautifly called upon her power, throwing her flower up.

The gem on her razor flower released a blossom that came down with the weapon.

"Amaryllis," Wolf immediately figured out. "I always thought that was a beautiful flower."

"I know exactly what this flower does," Beautifly said.

Holding up the flower, it released a number of petal missiles. Each petal exploded on contact with the chains, destroying them. The move almost looked like a combo of the draco meteor and pin missile moves from Pokemon.

"My chains too easy for you," Captain Hardrock yelled. "Then I think it is time for you land-loving pests to face the music."

"Land-loving," Cat Noir raised an eyebrow. "She does know that two of us don't even touch the ground, right?"

"Akumas, big on destruction and not so much on logic," Beautifly says.

The ship rumbled as its sound cannons aimed at the five of them. White Wolf, in particular, did not want to have to hear that loud music again.

"Hit it, Silver Siren," he called out to the new hero.

"I'm on it," he responded. "Harmonize."

He strung his guitar ax, blue energy flowing from the strings to his throat. His eyes glowed as he started to open his mouth.

"Cover your ears," Wolf warned everyone.

Just as the heroes covered their ears, Silver Siren let out a loud scream as the akumatized ship sent out its own sonic blasts. Silver Sirens scream came out as powerful sonic waves similar to the Black Canary's canary cry. Only his seemed slightly more powerful and the sound waves were a bright blue color.

The two sound attacks met in the air, a loud BOOM resulting from the collision. It blew their hair and loose pieces of clothing back a little at the wind blast that also resulted from the collision.

White Wolf and Beautifly uncovered their ears as both sides died down their attacks. They had to move quickly.

"Winter's Touch," Wolf quickly called.

His hands started to pour out an icy mist with a slight blueish color to it. The wolf hero then jumped to where he was sure that the compass was on the ship.

"Stay away from my compass," Captain Hardrock yelled.

But with one touch, the piece of equipment was frozen into ice. With a quick jump back, he let Beautifly throw her razor flower at the compass. The weapon smashed right through the frozen compass as easily as it would be to shatter glass.

"Gotta love this thing," Beautifly smiles at her weapon.

A black butterfly soon flapped its way out of the rubble. That was when Ladybug stepped forward.

"No more evil-doing for you, little akuma," she said, opening her yo-yo. "Time to de-evilize."

She caught the corrupted insect.

"Bye, bye, little butterfly," Ladybug released the now white insect.

"That thing is definitely a moth," Beautifly comments.

Cat Noir snickered at the comment while White Wolf simply rolls his eyes playfully. Silver Siren smiled but Ladybug looked annoyed.

"She does seem like the perfect person to know a butterfly from a moth," Cat Noir joined in Beautifly's fun.

"You two give me headaches," Wolf said.

"You know you love us," Cat Noir winks in a flirty way.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Wolf waved him off, making him and Beautifly snicker. "You did great out there, Silver Siren."

"You think so," the new hero asks. "I was a bit worried about using my power against those cannons."

"If I didn't think you could help, I wouldn't have given you the miraculous," Wolf smiles at him.

All of the heroes but Ladybug all started to beep as their miraculouses flashed. Cat Noir had a minute left as his ring lost another piece of the paw. One of the wings on Beautifly's bracelet went black. A feather on Silver Siren's bird necklace went from blue to white. One of the wolf's teeth on White Wolf's medallion went black.

"You can handle the clean-up, Bug," Beautifly says. "We all have to go. Secret identities and all that jazz."

"No one likes smooth jazz, Fly," Wolf said, but then all of them separated.

Kitty’s Key, set 9

<Previous  Next>

25. Puss and Boots

He shouldn’t let the words of others get to him. He really shouldn’t. But here he was, letting those nasty words and haunting thoughts get under his skin.

“Princess,” he said, looking up at her from his position on his stomach on her chaise. “I’m your knight in shining armor, aren’t I?”

She scoffed, not looking up from her project. “More like a Puss in Boots.”

He frowned but immediately covered it up with a smile. “Ouch, princess. That one stings.”

Apparently, he couldn’t keep the hurt from his voice, though, because Marinette put down her project and looked at him. “What’s the matter, Chat?”

He sighed, letting his chin fall on top his hands. “I’m just being stupid. That’s all.”

“How are you being more stupid than normal?” she asked, setting the project completely aside.

“I’m believing the people that say I’m not helpful to Ladybug.”

She scoffed, then stood from her seat to walk over to him. “You’re right. You are being stupid.”

He felt her weight on his back as she laid over top of him, her arms wrapping around his neck best she could as she propped her chin on his shoulder. “You know you’re the most important thing to me, right? As both my partner I can’t live without and my boyfriend that I love and adore.” Her hand then moved, slowly slipping beneath him so that her hand rested over his where his heart would be. “You are valuable to me. And anyone who suspects otherwise is an idiot.”

He smiled, feeling the warmth radiate from her palm on his chest. He reached up to cradle her cheek, holding her there long enough for him to be able to nuzzle against her head.

“I’m not kidding when I called you my Puss in Boots, though,” she said. “Some brave, fearless, swashbuckling, flirty cat. Yeah. That sounds about right. He was pretty cute, too.”

He chuckled. “Thank you, ma princesse.”

She blushed whenever he called her that. “Stop it, you stupid cat.”

He’d believe she meant that when she wasn’t cuddling him or hiding her face in his hair.

 26. Fencing + 27. Protecting You

No normal girl should get this excited over a knock at her skylight.

But Marinette supposed she was no normal girl.

“Chat,” she said, looking up at the young man in black leather sitting cross-legged by her skylight in wait.

“Hey, bugaboo,” he returned with a grin. “I actually can’t stay long, but I kinda couldn’t wait to ask you.”

“Ask me what?”

“If you were free Saturday.”

She grinned at the prospect of a date. Even if she wasn’t, she’d rearrange her schedule for it. But then she recalled that she and Alya and Nino had made plans already and she couldn’t back out. “Like, Saturday night?” she asked hopefully.

“All day.”

She frowned. “No, I’m not. Why?”

His ears and smile fell, life draining from his eyes. “Oh. I… I wanted to invite you somewhere. That’s all.”

She groaned. “I’m so sorry, kitty. But Alya, Nino, and I already made plans last week to go watch Adrien at his fencing tournament since it’s a thousand percent likely that his dad is going to back out and he’s always really upset that no one is there to support him.”

Chat blinked a few times, his ears perking right back up. “Fencing tournament?”

She nodded. “I’m sorry, kitty, but I can’t back out on this one. Not when I have other people counting on me.”

“No!” he cried. “No, it’s not… not that. It’s that… I actually wanted to invite you to that fencing tournament.”

She blinked a few times. “What?”

He nodded. “Yeah. I’ll… I’ll be fencing in it, too.”

“You fence?” The moment those words left her mouth, she realized she shouldn’t be surprised. She’d watched his fighting style for years and knew enough about the sport to know that he did often look like he was wielding a sword.

He nodded. “Yeah. But… You’ll already be at the tournament, it seems.”

She nodded. “I will be. I will be rooting for Adrien, but…” She reached out to grab Chat’s hand. “But now, I’ll be rooting for you, too.”

His smile widened. With his free hand, he cupped the back of Marinette’s head, pulling her closer so that she was touching his forehead. She hummed happily.

“So,” he began in a whisper. “Does this mean you’ll finally let me tell you who I am?”

She froze, realizing that she really didn’t have any more excuses to keep Chat from revealing himself to her. This was it. This was the moment that all remaining secrets were dropped.

At her lack of answer, he pulled away. “What’s the matter, princess?”

She forced a smile and shrugged. “I don’t know,” she admitted. “I really… I don’t know. There’s no reason to withhold it anymore yet… this is going to sound stupid, but I’m nervous.”

He cocked his head, his lip twitching up in amusement. “What’s there to be scared of?”

She shrugged. “I don’t know. I just am.”

When he smiled, it was a gentle, loving grin. He unzipped his pocket and pulled out something. “For you,” he said, opening his hand to reveal a key on a necklace. He grabbed the chain and dropped it over her head. “This is the key to my heart, okay? Wear it to the tournament, under your shirt so no one else will comment on it. Come early so I can find you, okay? And you’ll know it’s me because I’ll be the one to comment, okay? That way you’ll know just who to root for.”

She looked down at the key in her hands, one that was on a chain around her neck. “This is the key that you wore for the Adrien contest, isn’t it?”

He shrugged. “What does it matter. It’s the key to my heart, now. I know you’ll protect it, just like you know I protect the key to yours.”

Her cheeks lit on fire. “I do know.”

With a grin that was unabashedly happy, Chat took her hands in his, curling her fingers around the key before pressing a kiss to her hand. “I trust you more than anyone, Marinette,” he said, whispering her name so reverently that she felt like she just might faint. “I trust you to protect that for me.”

With that, he stood. “But for now, I have another commitment. I’ll see you soon.”

She grinned, feeling warm to the core. “I’ll see you soon, mon chaton.”

One last salute, and he was gone, vaulting over the city to who-knew-where. Leaving one very happy princess with a key on a chain that landed right beside her heart. She’d protect her kitty’s heart, and she’d happily spend the rest of life proving that to him.

 28. Secrets

Marinette stood nervously in one of the hallways of the tournament building. The occasional contestant was passing her on their way to get to the lockers. Two people asked if she was lost, at which point she just smiled and said she was waiting for someone.

Who, though, was the question.

Not for the first time, her nerves spiked, ruining the semblance of calmness she was holding onto. It took a good moment to talk herself down from the cliff each time.

“My lady.”

Marinette froze, not daring to turn around and face the voice behind her.

“Marinette,” Chat said again.

She could feel him right behind her. And then, she could see him when he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close.

Her eyes closed automatically, though she did see his white fencing uniform over his arms. Next thing she knew, her back was flush against his chest, his chin resting on top of her head.

He was tall enough to do that, stupid cat.

“You came,” he said.

“I did,” she said.

“And…” He took his chin off her head. “I see the chain on your neck.”

“Of course,” she said.

“So,” he said, stepping away from her. “Why are your eyes still closed?”

She blushed, her lips pursing in embarrassment.

She gasped at the sudden feeling of his fingers brushing her collarbone. Only to grab the necklace, she eventually realized, pulling the key from its spot hidden under her shirt. “Don’t you want to see the man who hold the key to your heart?”

She did. She knew she did. That was why she came early. She came to see him. To learn who the man who knew about that key was. She only had to open her eyes.

After a steadying breath, she cracked one eye open, only for her other to fly open and her jaw to drop.

Because standing there with a smile, holding the golden key…

Was Adrien Agreste.

“Hey,” he said.

“H-hey,” she responded, her voice barely strong enough to be heard.

He was quiet for a few seconds before asking, “Are you okay… knowing it’s me?”

No. No, she wasn’t. She was going to die on the spot because here was her kitty: the boy she’d fallen in love with years ago and forced herself to give up for the man who was now standing before her.

She was so confused.

And considering his expression fell, her inner turmoil must have been obvious. “Marinette?”

That snapped her from her thoughts. “Huh?”

“Are you okay?”

“No,” she blurted. “No. I’m freaking out.”

He gave a pained half smile. “I’m sorry. Is it too much?”

“Yes!” she squeaked. “My head is going to explode because I just…” She took a breath. “It’s you. You’re my Chat. You made me give up you for you. You were an idiot and put the key around your own neck for that stupid contest, which now makes me realize, you’re a total cheater. How dare you. I can’t—”

Adrien was suddenly laughing. “Oh, Marinette,” he said, scooping her up in his arms and holding her against his chest. “I tried to tell you.”

He did, she realized. Many times. She buried her head into his shoulder and let loose a groan. “I’m such an idiot!”

He chuckled again. “No, you’re not. You’re just My Marinette with all her weird quirks.”

With that, he pulled back enough to be able to press a kiss to her forehead. “You know I love all those little quirks, right?”

She just groaned.

He pulled her in again, holding her tight. “As much as I want to stay right here,” he said. “I should be with my team right now. Sorry to leave you.”

Reluctantly, she forced herself out of her hiding spot against him. “I understand. Go be with your team.”

“Thank you for coming today,” he said. “You and Alya and Nino.”

She grimaced. “I can’t believe I ruined the surprise.”

“Honestly,” he said. “Knowing that you three, particularly you, would be here in the stands today has already pumped me up more than you can imagine. Thank you, all three of you, for coming. It means the world. If I win today, it’s all because of you.”

She felt a new burst of warmth shoot through her. “Then go win for us, okay?”

“I’ll do my best. But there might be one thing that makes me do better.”

Her brow furrowed. “And what’s that?”

“A kiss?” he asked, tapping his cheek. “Right here.”

Marinette watched as someone passed by, waiting for them to disappear down the other end of the hallway before conceding. “All right,” she said, reaching up to cradle his jaw and press a kiss to his cheek.

“And if you win the tournament,” she said, somehow finding the courage to tap his lips. “I’ll give you all the kisses you want.”

Slowly, that signature, lopsided Chat Noir grin spread across his face. “Then I look forward to it, my lady.”

Late 1972

London, England

...

"Hold still!" The Bunny Mother instructed as she did her best to help her new charge into a black suit. The suit was new in a sense, and similarly, so was the bunny. 18 and a new recruit. She had just come from Los Angeles with a rather unusual name. Yuridia. Yuridia Garcia. Her full name was impossibly long as she herself had admitted. Hearing it once made Joan's head spin & her jaw drop in shock. It was like one of those names straight out of a Spanish drama or swashbuckler. Thankfully Yuridia wasn't offended. She just laughed it off.

She had been sent over for a short while to pad out the holiday shift & to allow Yuridia a chance to show her full potential as opposed to having her options limited in terms of hours & places in the club she was allowed to work as she would otherwise have faced at home due to her young age.

At first Joan didn't understand why they didn't just tell the shy, soft-spoken child with the admittedly terribly sweet, soft accent to come back in three years when they could use her to her best advantage in the LA club...

Save her the trip...

Pick someone else...

And then she met her...

And dressed her...

"Won't need these..." Joan teased as she removed the stuffing & padding from the cups of the suit. A lot of bunnies secretly padded. It was no big deal. A big secret kept from the public...

But no big deal...

The bunny bodice held and hid a multitude of sins...

Not that Miss Garcia had much to atone for at the ripe old age of barely 18...

Still...

You'd be surprised what a suit like the bunny suit could do for a girl's figure...

Across all sorts of body types...

Like it was made out of magic & fairy dust instead of just satin & stays...

Joan had seen it herself firsthand...

And right now even without the padding - admittedly unnecessary on Yuridia - the suit was still working it's insane, inconceivable magic...

Emphasizing every last one of her curves & her mile long legs to full effect!

It was doing her all kinds of favors whether she needed it or not!

Every. Last. Favor. On. Earth!

As Joan fastened the suit around her newest charge, who would be known as "Bunny Yuri" to the patrons of the London club, Yuridia herself fixed her cuffs. She made sure that the Playboy Bunny logos on the cufflinks faced each other when she put her wrists together as was the rule. Made sure the bunnies kissed" as was the rule. "Kissing Bunny cufflinks" was just one of many little details that had to be filled out just so. And she knew failure to do so would result in warnings, admonishments & demerits. Another such detail was daintily perched ears which seemed to "quirk" just so. This was the next thing Yuridia handled as Joan handled yet another detail. Fluffing her bunny tail. Yuridia cast a shy smile in the mirror at Joan, nodding a polite. "Thanks..."

"Any time, luv. It's my job..." Came the reply based in soft laughter.

This shy little thing. What kind of a bunny would she make out there?

Yuridia then gazed in the mirror to inspect her reflection as suddenly another bunny burst through the room.

"Yuri! You're working the VIP room with me and Diana right?" It was Bunny Kitty, panting in breathless excitement for God knows what reason.

"Yes, of course. Although I have a short shift tonight. I worked a split today. Why? Is anything the matter? Any problems? Anything wrong, Kitty? Any changes?" Yuridia gazed at her breathless friend curiously.

"No... Nothing's the matter... Nothing's wrong... No changes..." Kitty sighed after a drink of water, finally calming down. "It's just that we got some very, VERY important people that are being put into your section right now. VVIP... VVVIP!..."

"Oh? Anyone I oughta know, luv?" Joan asked as she made the last few adjustments to "Yuri's" suit.

"Or me? Even though I'm new here and not from around. Or are they more locally known & famous?" Yuridia asked.

"Oh no! No! No! No, they're definitely well known... Internationally known... Internationally famous... Or infamous..." Kitty giggled. "And you DEFINITELY should have heard of them by now!..." I'm not sure if I oughta tell you or just let you go out & find out yourself..."

"Not sure if I should even ask... I'm a little scared now with how you've talked of them..." Yuridia laughed before asking. "Can I at least ask this? How many are there?"

"Four..." Kitty replied in an awed hush, fighting back a squeal as she clenched her fists.

"Well by that reaction, Kit, I have to ask... Is it the Beatles? Have they decided to reform?" She teased.

"Noooo... But you're on the right track... Not the worst guess you could have made.

"Oh wow... That big?... That famous?... That popular?..."

"Just about..." Kitty smiled.

"Mmmm... I see..." Yuridia hesitated, nerves starting to get the better of her momentarily, prompting her to come up with a proposition. "Are you gonna shadow me then? Make sure I don't mess up? Or do you just want to take my table? I take yours? Who knows? They might like you better..." She teased hoping that she could play her nerves off well enough.

"I'd love to! But I can't... The floor manager would have my neck!" She laughed, rubbing the back of her neck for emphasis.

"Did you greet them for me? Tell them I'll be right with them? After I finish getting dressed I mean..." Yuridia laughed nervously.

Kitty nodded. "I did. Though I didn't exactly go into specifics of course." She grinned, motioning to Yuridia in her suit. "Not that I think that they'd have minded of course! But of course that would be against policy so... Your secret is safe with me." She laughed.

"Ohhh... Kitty..." Yuridia gave Kitty a playful shove as she began to blush slightly.

Kitty laughed again. "Why on earth are you so shy? How on earth were you hired if you blush at the drop of a hat?"

Joan swatted at Kitty playfully. "Don't scold her! She can't help it! Besides... You know the boys out there might actually like that... They might get a kick out of it!..."

Yuridia turned to glance at Joan as best as she could without disrupting her work adjusting her suit again. "I assume you have experience... With them?"

Kitty leant in to whisper something to Joan, making her gasp. Yuridia swore she heard a "it's..." or "they're...". Spilling the beans on the mystery patrons' identity apparently as Joan & Kitty both nodded in reply.

"You bet, honey. And they have plenty experience with us. And others!" Kitty grinned.

"Well then, you two!" Joan cut in after giving Yuridia's suit one last tug upwards & her tail one last fluff. "Why don't you be off then! So Kitty you can SHOW our little miss "Bunny Yuri" her patrons for the evening! Now be off you two! Shoo, shoo, shoo!" She laughed.

The laughter was echoed by Kitty who took Yuridia by hand as she thanked Joan one last time & lead her out of the dressing room & through the long corridor to the main floor.

"Kitty..." Yuridia hushed.

"Mmmm?" Came the response.

"Can't I get one last clue? Please? Just one little one?" Yuridia pleaded.

"Can't wait till we get out on the floor & to our section?" Kitty asked with a playful smile.

"Mmm-mm..." Yuridia shook her head.

Kitty just laughed. "Alright then... Here... Shine your light on these..." She paused just a few steps from the entrance to the main hall & presented her cuffed wrists, "kissing bunny cufflinks" and all. But the kissing bunnies weren't meant to be the focal point...

Nor were they...

For as Yuridia shone her little mini flashlight down on Kitty's cuffs she noticed something for the first time...

Kitty's cuffs were no longer pure white...

They were marred...

Marked...

Scribbled on...

Written on...

Yuridia was just barely able to make out four distinct signatures...

But she didn't trust what she saw...

Or what she thought she saw...

"Kitty..." She hushed.

"Uh-huh..." Came the slyly smiling reply.

"Kitty...

Kitty...

Kitty, these are...

These are...

These are...

Am...

Am...

Am...

Am I reading this right?...

Like am I seeing things correctly?..."

"What do you see, "Yuri"?" Kitty teased.

"I dunno...

I almost don't trust myself to read this right..."

Kitty just laughed & pointed across the room to their section. There... Tucked away in a booth... Signing the cuffs for a gaggle of other giddy bunnies were four men... Not just any men... This Yuridia knew as her eyes fell on each member & the accompanying matching scrawled signature flashed in her head in time...

For there...

Tucked away in the comfy dark confines of a booth...

In her section were...

John Paul Jones...

John Bonham...

Robert Plant...

Jimmy Page...

All four internationally popular, famous - and yes Kitty was right, INFAMOUS - members of one of one of the biggest groups on the scene at the time...

LED ZEPPELIN!!!!!

"Oh my God..."

Kurt Waggoner yandere au part 2

N/A: this idea came to me as djinmer4 give some ideas, oh Kitty you adorable naive thing, Kurt Waggoner is a force to be reckoned in his own way. No one dies here and the porn is ...up to your imagination.

@djinmer4

Everything changes, nothing remains without change.– Buddha

Kitty Pryde was a girl that used to have a normal life, but that quickly changes with the sentinels and transform the once normal girl into a fugitive. And along the ride, Kitty turns to fugitive to a Jewish swashbuckling, when asked why the reply is often why not.

But once the war is over, once all the robots are, by all accounts, destroyed things should return to the normal, instead, things change once again. Some staff members of the school are happy to see Kitty, an ugly reminder that the war was no illusion, no bad Sci-fi movie and some members can´t help by being passive aggressive with Kitty.

It was a lonely experience that Kitty was enduring until...

"Katzchen," Kurt Waggoner said kindly " let´s eat together" he offers kindly and she takes his hand, Kurt Waggoner is just too shy(and cute) and doesn´t see a problem in hold hands with a girl who carries a sword.

"Does Jubilee and the others will join us?" she asked joyfully and Kurt, with his golden eyes, gaze into her brown eyes.

"Nein, Jubilee and the others are in detention," he said using his tail to scratch his head " they went into a fight with other students and well, zero tolerance means everyone gets detention" then he adds " we can go see them after, knowing them havoc won´t stop so soon"

Kitty quite like Jubilee, she is funny and takes no one shits.

"That is a plan, my dear genius fuzzy elf," she said smiling and Kurt beam at this.

"I know, thanks swashbuckling Katzchen" and they finally found a spot to eat, the conversation is soothing("Wanna see what I have in my spiderman box?" "that is quite an honour, not sure if I´m ready such commitment" "ok, then I´ll wait until you are ready" "what? no, I´m curious" "moving on, Katzchen")

They giggles, learn a little more about the other(this relationship only begin has 3 weeks but feels like a lifetime) and eat. Well, an awkward moment finally install for Kitty, in an anime fashion she forget the lanch, once again(how Kitty is so distracted? Is the second time this happen)

"Katzchen, you silly Katzchne is the second time you forget your lunch," he said with his tail flipping around in a happy cat motion " want to share the Butternocken?"

"Oh, German food," she said happily, "yes, German food is the best one" and Kitty is forever thankful for Kurt´s kindness. She could buy lunch, but, sharing is caring(she vows to be extra careful with her lunch next time, Ororo did the food with love and care)

They are sharing the food and Kurt couldn´t be pleased. Katzchen does like German food(Hercules is a good cooker, better than Logan) and everything is at peace, until...

"Hey, Pryde" a boy approaches them. The boy is a built blonde boy with blue eyes that is sitting way too close of Kitty for Kurt´s liking. " Do you want to leave the nerd for a moment and sit with us?" the flirty attitude didn´t go well for Kurt in the slightest.

"First off, his name is Kurt Waggoner, second, please don´t take this in the wrong way but you scream 'I´m a douchbag' and if you insist I have a sword and I know how to use and if you try to do anything else...I´ll call an X-men to deal with this, right Nightcrawler?" she said looking into his golden eyes and Kurt smiles(is too ambiguous) and analyse the blue eyes, blonde American boy.  Duncan Smith, human and a name Kurt won´t forget.

"Yes, I´m an X-men, " the boy looks affronted and narrow his eyes at the blue boy and reluctantly steps away, the body language clearly says he wants to fight but too many witnesses (and fear, an X-men is still an X-men) tells it is a bad idea and the boy walks away before saying.

"Pryde, when you get tired, there´s always a table for you," the boy said and walks away to sit with his friends. Now, laughing and talking charmingly with his friends and sending looks to Kitty Pryde.

Kurt´s golden eyes are focused on the boy for a moment until Kitty snapped him back to reality. Her sweet and kind words are enough to soothe him(for now) and prompt they back to the German food.

"Kurt, don´t mind him, he is a jerk," she said eating a bit more of the said German food(she pronounced wrong but Kurt didn´t hold that against her) "He is trying to ask me out, he did but I said no, I don't like arrogant jerks, so, let´s go back to eat the Butternocken and forget about Duncan"

"You are right," he said and the conversation and the mood are comfortable as always. Forget about Duncan is the right idea.

Soon the Butternocken is over, and they did go to visit the others friends, or how people call them, the X-friends, funny Kitty is not an X-men (yet) as Kitty and Jubilee talk about the fight, no Kurt wasn´t in the classroom when the fight begins, the girls said.

"Hey, she is alright, can´t believe Kurt shyness Waggoner introduced us," Jubilee said scratching the band-aid in her face. the adds "I found your lunch, you should be more attentive with this"

"Oh, thank you," she said thankfully and adds tenderly "Kurt is like that, a good person and a hero and a cute nerd," she said to make the others chuckle at that, Kurt doesn´t mind being called nerd if is only by Kitty.

Eventually, the class is over and everyone is going home. When Kurt arrives home, Logan and Hercules, as excited parents, ask questions about his day.

"Dad, father, my day was really good" there´s a lazy smile on his face" things are looking better and better each day"

" Someone is in love?"Logan asked amused and Hercules chuckles and giggles at that already promising to not embarrassed Kurt too much in front of his crush.

"I going to do my homework," Kurt said hearing the two men laughing at his embarrassing tone. Kurt is not good at hiding(sometimes) and goes to his laptop and search for Duncan Smith´s name.

A common name, but, fitting for a common boy.

Hacking into Duncan´s browser and see what he posted is not a surprise for Kurt Waggoner in the slightest, porn, more and more porn(questionable porn) but that will suffice for now.

Hacking is as easy as breathing for Kurt and he manages to post all Duncan´s questionable porn into the community page of the school and even manage to write(in Duncan´s URL) nasty things. The plan was a success as in minus of 2 minutes the page was an overload of nasty comments about Duncan´s porn and even the principal appeared in the page, clearly horrified with what the boy posted.

A vindicate smile graces his lips as he closes the tabs and any link that could point to him, is not the first or last time Kurt has done this and everyone left none the wiser.

On the next day, Duncan Smith received a nasty encounter with the principal about what he posted and his mother was horrified to see the porn her little boy is into.

"Duncan, what is this? I thought I raised you better than that" the mother is not being silent and the show beings. The other students can´t help to hear the conversation(even if they didn´t want, the show was too loud) and everyone is horrified.

"I never knew he was a pervert," Kitty said horrified.

"Yeah, is always who you never thought, Katzchen," Kurt said and did his best to look shocked. The X-friends are gossiping about this all day, how stupid Duncan can be? Why he did that?

"He thought it would be funny, well, it isn´t funny" Kurt overs an explanation for Duncan´s reason of joke, Kitty nods and in agreement.

Ah, only I found this hilarious.

At the end of the day, Duncan was suspended for 3 days and their food exchange was never interrupted again. Duncan still can´t explain what happened and his computer was confiscated for the time being.
