Miraculous Ladybug Rewrite, anyone?

I feel like I may as well go through with it. Canon is absolute trash nowadays and there are certainly lots of things that need to be reworked/fixed.

I will be reworking the plot, but here are some things you should expect to get out of it:

First: It is no surprise that my heart belongs to Lukanette, so they will be the main ship here. Meaning, obviously, it should go without saying that if you hate ship, this won't be the rewrite for you. So block the tag.

Second: Chloe will get better treatment here! Whatever development she undergoes will be consistent. We will dive a little deeper into Chloe & Sabrina’s friendship & her past with Adrien & Felix. I will also share headcanons on how she deals with her parents and why she acts the way she does. (I don’t like Zoe, so she will NOT exist in this rewrite.)

Third: Expect salt and consequences for characters that get none. Adrien & Lila will primarily get the worst salt treatment. They're horrible human beings. Alya & the rest of the girl group (minus Juleka) are likely to get some salt too, for trying to force Mari to get with Adrien, but they will give up on that goal inevitably.

Fourth: No Lila & Kagami BFF storyline. Kagami is Mari's best friend, from the start, so she will always take Mari's side.

Fifth: In case you're wondering why there won't be Juleka salt, it's because she does set sail for Lukanette before any of the other girls come around to it. She wants her brother and close friend to be happy, and realizes earlier on that Mari feels more at ease with Luka. She will be supportive of that.

Sixth: The Ladybug & Chat Noir holders will change in time. With Mari having taken over the Guardian position, and her responsibilities becoming too much to bear alone, she takes both miraculouses and hand them over to the two people she trusts the most: Luka (LB) and Kagami (CN).

Ships?: Like stated before, Lukanette is the main/primary ship.

For side ships that will be involved: JuleRose, Chlogami, Feloe, Adrigami, Lilya, Ivan/Mylene, Kim/Ondine, Nathaniel/Marc.

Anti-ships: LS (salt, just salt), LilAdrien, FeLila.

This is all I will be disclosing right now. I will go more in depth later on, but these are some of the things you should expect. I am laying stuff on this post so you get to decide whether or not you want to follow along.

I make no promises for when you can expect a proper layout, so don't ask me.

Tagged as: BMX3's ML Rewrite. Block the tag, if this doesn't interest you.

#BMX3's ML Rewrite #Lukanette AU #Lukanette gets a happy ending.

Happy holiday season @mari-onberry !!! I’m your Secret Santa this year! Please accept this very special Lukanette fic! All the best in 2023!

An enormous thank you to all of the @mlsecretsanta team for organizing this wonderful event!!!

Many thanks to @goblin-alchemist for betareading this!

The Siren Song

Summary: The siren song is a beautiful and treacherous thing, they say. But Prince Luka never listened to old tales; he always listened to his heart instead. So when his heart fell for the divine melodies sung by the full moon over the boundless ocean, he knew the myths were wrong. For whoever sang that song, must have had a beautiful soul and a pure heart. The raven hair and ocean-blue eyes were a nice bonus. Too bad he was a bit too preoccupied with drowning to properly appreciate them.

Also on AO3

Chapter 1. If you sing to the mermaids

If you sing to the mermaids, they come when you're drowning — Tori Amos

The evening was particularly calm at the sea. The Liberty was being gently lulled to sleep over the sluggish waves. There was a storm brewing far on the horizon, its tall clouds made even darker courtesy of the full moon. But if Prince Luka averted his eyes from the boiling bulks of lightning, he could pretend it was a tranquil evening, just like the one a month ago.

He found it hard to believe that four whole weeks had passed since the Liberty had set sails to take him to faraway lands in search for a suitable match. Despite his mother’s objections, his father, King Jagged, had been unusually insistent on finding Luka a bride worthy of the crown prince. And Luka, ever the obedient and good-natured son, met princess after princess, heiress after heiress, some daughters of noblemen in the mix as well. Some had been stunningly beautiful, others - as he’d been told - unimaginably rich. Some had talent for embroidery, flower-arranging, cricket or other skills considered useful in high society. Some had shown interest in music, either in singing or playing instruments, yet Luka found each performance lacking the essence and passion he so desired in a soulmate.

Juleka, his sister, mocked him for being picky. The truth was much simpler. His heart had already been taken, only he couldn’t say so out loud.

How could he, when he hadn’t even laid eyes on the one he’d fallen for? When he wasn’t even sure she existed, that he hadn’t dreamed of her that night of the full moon a month ago?

Such thoughts ran through his head, as Luka stood on the prow gazing on the dark, oily waves, straining his ears, searching for the notes of the song that had captured his heart. The melody had seemed out of this world, sung in a bizarre language, in a scale he’d never encountered despite his thorough musical education. Yet in some unfathomable way it had reached right into his soul and imprinted itself in his memory forever.

Wind picked up, ruffling Luka’s hair and filling his lungs with salty air. The prince pulled out his guitar, he strummed the strings, listening to the wind whispering in the instrument’s belly. He felt the world holding its breath and he found himself waiting, wound tightly just below the breaking point.

Then came the song.

Vibrant notes carried over the ocean, pulling at his heartstrings like no melody had ever done before. Luring him in, making him want more, making him wish it’d never end. Luka gasped, realizing this was his moment of truth, that he hadn’t been imagining things or slowly going crazy. He had been right the whole time.

For a few moments he let himself be submerged in the music. When it filled him to the brim he took a deep breath. He raised his guitar and joined the song in an impossible duet, just like that first time one month ago.

The voice, searching and wistful at first, turned joyful, excited even, as if the guitar was a long missing friend. It greeted the new addition with enthusiasm, relishing the new harmonies, new possibilities that came from combining the vocal and the instrument. Unified the voice and the guitar transformed the song into something greater than its parts.

It flew over the water. It echoed in the ship’s hull. It filled the sails.

Enchanting.

Mesmerizing.

Spellbinding.

Luka was lost in the music, in the feeling of finally being complete. He reached deeper to the underlying rhythm and discovered it synchronized with his own pulse, a perfect harmony of two heartbeats. The heartsong he’d been looking for, the one he’d been drawn to, the one he’d been destined to join. His soulmate, he realized, opening his eyes.

And then the storm hit.

***

It wasn’t unusual for Marinette to sing in the evenings nor was it uncommon for her to dream of the adventures in faraway lands, above the sea, among the two-legged people she frequently spotted on the beaches and on those wooden sea beasts called ships. Yet, she never dared to sing above the surface, allowing her voice to be heard by ears other than those belonging to the merfolk. At least not until that last full moon, when she had succumbed to the strange desire that had awakened in her, urging the little mermaid to swim up to the surface and let her song flow freely over the waves.

Something told her that was where she was supposed to be, and that was what she was supposed to be doing. She never expected to be answered back. She never would have guessed her performance wouldn’t be a solo, but instead a duet out of this world.

The boy had been standing in the moonlight, high over the water. His dark hair had been tinted blue at the tips, as if he’d dipped them in the ocean. His eyes reflected the moonlight, glowing unnaturally bright, while he stared out into the darkness with a faraway expression upon his handsome face. She’d wondered what he was dreaming about at that moment. At first she had thought he’d been singing, but then she noticed the instrument he’d been wielding, a brown box with strings. The melody had been divine, soft and tender, reaching out, searching. It found her song and entwined itself with it, creating a new harmony, filling the pauses, completing the rhythm, until the song became a perfect amalgam of water and land, of above and below, of human and mer.

It had left Marinette wanting to follow the ship, to never separate from the boy. And she might have just gone for it if it wasn’t for Tikki. Her crab chaperon had caught up with her at the last moment. She pinched Marinette’s tail, quite painfully, snapping the girl out of her reverie. The ship had disappeared from sight long before Tikki finished scolding Marinette for her unauthorized evening swim.

Since then the little mermaid anxiously awaited news of ships passing over their kingdom, but none of them sported the characteristic eyes and whale-like smile of the boy’s vessel. She almost lost hope she’d ever see him again. Her heart ached at the thought, as if that stranger, who hadn’t even seen her, took a part of her with him and she’d never be complete again without it.

Tikki must have had a word with Alya, because her guppy childhood friend kept a close eye on Marinette for the whole month and asked a lot of pointed human-related questions. Finally Marinette was able to coax Nino, the googly-eyed turtle, to ask Alya out, freeing herself of her orange-tailed friend’s company.

As luck had it, this was the night of the full moon. Marinette feigned going to bed early to get King Tom and Queen Sabine off her scales. Then, she set out to find if she was indeed as lucky as she’d been dubbed by the royal court.

Anxiously, Marinette swam to the surface and began her siren song. She sang of all the hopes and dreams, the feelings that came to her that fateful night, the heartache that followed. She felt the world falling silent around her, bewitched and enthralled by this new song. The wind carried it into the night, but only the moon listened.

She almost gave up, but then she heard the soft and sweet sounds of the instrument - guitar, as she’d learned - calling out to her.

She saw him standing on the prow, eyes closed, fingers dancing over the strings. His whole being seemed to be consumed by music, her music. Marinette would be a liar if she said she didn’t like the thought. But just as he seemed to be spellbound by the melody, she felt similarly smitten. She hadn’t even locked eyes with him, yet she felt the connection between them, a bond stronger than anything she’d experienced in her life.

At the next flash of lightning, he opened his eyes and looked straight at her. Marinette froze, hypnotized by his gaze, unable to look away. Her voice died in her throat, just like the guitar grew silent.

A beat of silence. Two heartbeats. Three - and then came the hurricane drowning everything in rain and wind.

Marinette found it difficult to stay above the water, the waves tossing her any way they liked. She tried her best to stay close to the ship, because each time she resurfaced she saw him standing right there, despite the gusts and the rain, looking for her. As if he cared for no one else in the entire world. As if the storm, the ocean’s wrath didn’t matter to him at all.

As if he had eyes only for her.

Another lightning bolt struck dangerously close and she dove below the surface for cover. When she reemerged, several other humans had appeared up on the deck, scurrying about with a chaotic, frantic energy. Her eyes darted around, seeking out her musician, but she couldn’t spot him anywhere among the men. A round object bobbed on the water, tethered to the ship with a thick rope, while the crew kept shouting and pointing towards it.

Marinette’s stomach clenched. Chills descended down her spine, shaking the fin of her tail. Something was wrong. She dove to where the crew were pointing. At the next flash of lightning she saw her musician frantically fighting the currents, kicking and waving his hands. Despite his efforts he kept sinking further and further down, pulled back by a maelstrom he’d gotten caught in.

Never in her life had Marinette raced so fast. In a blink, she was at his side, wrestling with the vortex, pulling him away from its clutches. She wrapped him in a tight embrace, shielding him from the currents, but stopped her finning when he looked at her in astonishment.

‘Hi,’ she uttered shyly, suddenly extremely aware of their closeness.

He opened his mouth to reply but only a few bubbles of air came out. Then, he passed out in her arms.

Right, humans needed air from above the water to breathe. Marinette rushed back to the surface.

so how do we feel about Luka

i don't think about him much outside of the occasional silencer rewatch but i don't hate him either. for what it's worth he served his purpose as a love rival, i liked lukanette and wishmaker was better than i remembered ? and while i disagree with it i get why people say he's bland and boring, bc unlike kagami i'm just not as interested in analazying him and NOT because he has nothing going on.

let's get the elephant out of the room - "luka is going to brazil to learn mirakung fu" is the most ridiculous sentence i have ever read in relation to this show . the wishmaker reveal never fazed me bc luka is the last character who could've used that information (or ANY information at all for that matter) and it was for no one's but his own benefit, to pretend he played a part in things outside of saying cryptic shit while strumming an unplugged electric guitar . unlike kagami who would've ALWAYS served a purpose in the story after her breakup w/adrien through her affiliation with the cult, they could've written luka out after crocoduel and no one would've batted an eye. they even fumbled the jagged stone dad reveal and left no room for conflicts bc this show has a boner for deadbeat parents & when you write yourself into a corner like that i guess Plan B is to bring back another equally useless character and send both of them on an offscreen journey of learning in brazil . it's certainly a path to say the least !

it's unfair to say luka is useless - if anything the couffaine family, jagged stone, bob roth and xy's recurring storylines r fun and make miraculous' universe feel lived in! so up until wishmaker, he was fine. the bible leaves out many elements from the episodes, so here's to hoping he does something before sailing his boat (to brazil) (in case you forgot) . luka is a solid character i don't mind seeing at all and i can see more of an attempt at making him nuanced than in ½ of the miracuclass .

#or z*e . boy do i hate z*e

The Truth will Out- ROA Update!!

Ok guys so now that I’m done ranting, it’s time to get serious so first things first. This will contain spoilers for Rise of Anatis but given the huge hurt we have also just suffered, I feel it is necessary to give you guys an update about my plans for the Truth Episode within the ROA universe. Given when this chapter is going to be written, I can’t fix the mess that is ML straight away so this is the best I could do. Anyway, keeping reading below the cut if you wish to know more. Also I haven’t given away everything in the full chapter but just enough for you guys to know that I will be fixing it.

So firstly, the Jagged Stone reveal won’t be happening in this chapter as it already happened in the story so Luka is fully aware that Jagged is his father. However, he will still be targeting Jagged in this as he is going to be a raging mess. The truth he’ll want to know in this form is why Jagged left him in the first place and why he wasn’t good enough for him to be around. Now Luka does know that Bob Roth had a hand in Jagged and Anarka’s split and that he didn’t know Luka was his son until recently but that doesn’t mean Luka won’t feel these things.

The Lukanette dates will be happening in this and a few of them will be interrupted. At this point in the story, Hawkmoth is actively trying to akumatize Luka frequently and Luka has been either resisting them or transforming and capturing them before he can even be akumatized. However, unlike the end of the canon-verse episode, Marinette and Luka will not be breaking up. If anything this whole thing will make them stronger. There will be none of this calling Luka by Adrien’s name bullshit or forgetting about dates either.

Luka will be getting akumatized into Truth. There is no other akuma like in the silencer inspired chapter where Blackout turns up. As to why Luka gets akumatized in this. Well for one he’s constantly be targeted by HM so naturally he’s gonna be stressed about it. Two Lila is constantly spreading shit and three he is second guessing him because he wants to tell Marinette that he is Anatis but knows that he can’t because it will put her in danger.

Bunnyx will be returning and will be playing a huge role in this chapter.

There will be a reveal. Yes, Luka is going to be telling someone he is Anatis. Not saying who though.

There will be a lukanette kiss. So as my readers know, I’m playing the long game with the whole Lukanette thing in this story but I want Truth to mark the beginning of the two blueberries finally accepting love from each other so yes they will kiss at some point in this chapter.

Truth will be Chapter 80, making it my ‘season finale’ of my season four. For those who don’t know, my ‘season four’ doesn’t correspond to the miraculous season 4 due to the fact that only a few of the episodes will be out. I am going to be using some of the previous seasons villains to make up the episodes but also some OC villains as part of this. However, Season 4 will be adapted into my story but it will be season 5. I hope you guys are ready for a long ass story cause we’re gonna be looking at 100 + chapters.

Lila will be fully exposed and permanently in this chapter as a pathological liar and HM supporter. I will be editing the NY special tho so she hasn’t be exposed in it yet. My OG plan was to have her exposed in Miracle Queen but this is too good a chapter not to expose her in plus it builds up her crime and connection to HM.

And finally.... Luka will be using Magic outside of the miraculous! This links into the Lila exposed thing. Lila will be trying to claim that she was ‘forced’ to say things and didn’t mean it but having been done with her bs, Luka will be making a truth curse and placing it on her, effectively taking away her ability to lie permanently.

Never Needed the Mask

Holy shit it got hella angsty!

Chat is so concerned with finding out who Ladybug is underneath her mask, but he should have been paying closer attention. 1Kish MLB One Shot

Enjoy?

Ladybug dropped him off on the closest balcony, just trying to get him somewhere safe so she wouldn’t have to worry when she got back to the battle. I was too distracted and he almost got hurt. If anything had happened to him… it would have been my fault.

“Stay here, you’ll be safe.” Turning around so that she wouldn’t have to look at him and continue fighting the urge to stay any longer, Ladybug readied her yo-yo.

“Wait….” She looked down as she felt a pressure on her arm and saw that he had grabbed ahold of her hand and was pulling her back towards him.

“I have to get back to the fight and cleanse the akuma.”

Though he responded with a quiet “I know,” he didn’t let go.

“Luka, I can’t stay.”

He sighed and squeezed her hand tighter. “I just… you now I’m not very good with words, but I don’t have my guitar here with me and this… this just wasn’t how I wanted this to happen, but I guess now is as good of a moment as any.” He looked up, staring straight into her bluebell eyes and smiled. “Marinette, thank you for saving me back there.”

Ladybug jerked backwards, nearly tripping, but Luka’s firm hold kept her upright. “Ma-ma-Marinette? Who, me? Phst… no. What? Uhm…” she meekly tilted her head back as he took a step closer. She hadn’t realized just how much taller Luka was than her until now. “How did you know?”

He chuckled, the sound deep and comforting as he tucked a stray strand of hair back behind her ears. “I’ve known that Ladybug was you since the day we met. There was no way that she could be anybody but you, Marinette. No one else is this amazing, brave, kind, or beautiful.”

“Why didn’t you tell me?” His palm rested on her cheek and she felt herself slowly melting into his warm touch as he rubbed the skin below her mask with his calloused fingers.

“You guys keep your identities secret for a reason. I wasn’t trying to hide it from you. I’ve actually written a dozen songs where I try to tell you in a way that won’t make you hate me forever, but I guess being saved by you tonight just brought back all of the memories of these last few months and I couldn’t not tell you. I’m sorry for keeping it a secret for so long.”

Ladybug opened her mouth to respond, but was interrupted when her compact began to beep. She deftly slid it open and clicked on the beeping Chat Noir icon on the screen.

“Where are you? It’s getting a bit hairy over here without you.”

“I’m on my way, Kitty.” She closed the device and looked back up at Luka. There was just too much to say and not enough time right now.

“It’s okay Marinette. Go do your thing. I’ll still be here, waiting, when you come back… if that’s what you want?” She looked around as he gestured and realized that she had unintentionally dropped him off outside of her bedroom above the bakery.

“Stay! I mean… yes, stay, please. I’ll be back soon.” His smile shone brighter than the Eiffel Tower as he nodded and watched her leap away, heading back into battle without fear.

“My amazing Marinette.”

“Pound it!” Chat Noir excitedly threw his fist out to the side for Ladybug to tap, only to turn and realize that his partner was already sprinting away since the akuma had been handled. She still has a few minutes left before she transformed back so she shouldn’t have run so fast. It was the first time she had ever left without celebrating or even saying goodbye. Though he knew it was wrong and that he should stay to comfort the victim who was looking around in fear, Chat couldn’t shake the feeling that something was up and he needed to follow her. I’m coming, my lady.

Ladybug landed on her balcony with a soft thud. Luka was nowhere to be seen in the small space. She felt her heart sink until she noticed that her pink curtains had been pulled back. She didn’t even think as she walked inside, heading towards the bed where Luka sat, eyes closed, meditating. She kept her gaze locked on him as he opened his eyes and watched as she dropped her transformation mid stride. Without hesitation, Marinette straddles his hips and wrapped her arms around his neck.

“I could never hate the one I love.” She brought her lips down to his, slowly at first… their first. That gentleness did not last long as Luka groaned and leaned back on the bed, pulling Marinette down snugly against his body as their lips collided again and again. They had been dancing around each other for months, each one feeling the pull, but doing nothing about it. After accepting each other’s feelings now, it felt like they couldn’t separate.

“I love you too, Marinette,” he whispered between kisses.

They were so lost within one another that they didn’t catch the glow of green eyes and black leather as Chat Noir watched everything from the balcony’s ledge. He felt warmth fall down his cheeks as his heart filled with love and excitement from finally, finally, figuring out who Ladybug was, only to have it torn to shreds as he watched her kiss another man. The one she loves.

He was silent as he launched himself into the too-quiet streets of a akuma recovering midnight Paris.

Okay but like the Lukanette story in season 4 is so much more interesting than the Ladynoir story (in both platonic and romantic context). Like one is "two people wanting to date each other but it doesn't work bc one of them is a superhero, both are heart broken but eventually go back to becoming friends, until he finds out about her double life and falls in love even more but hasn't told her yet" and the other is just Chat being like "Ladybug give me attention pls:(" can I get an Amen

literally!!! (also sorry for taking so long to answer this :miss piggy in jail:).

like, you get people complaining about sappy, healthy, smoothly sailing relationships a lot on the bounds that "there's not any conflict" (and i will admit to enjoying the odd dumpster-fire of a relationship now and then, unhealthy ships can be fun) but in most cases, and especially in Lukanette, that's really ignoring quite a few pretty significant factors.

Like you said, the identity shenanigans (which honestly just make me think of Spiderman and Mary-Jane in all the best ways.) are the most obvious conflict, not to mention the conflict of Luka wanting Marinette to be happy and not sure if she’d be happier with him or with Adrien, torn between pursuing Marinette properly and letting her make her own moves for once.

There’s trying to balance out their two different personalities and creative types because Marinette, as much as I love her, is without a doubt an extrovert. She loves people she has to be around them, she feels energised being around her friends. Marinette is loud and bright and sunny. Luka...is not. He meditates and communicates with his guitar and fades into the background. He’s quiet and cool and calming. Trying to find a balance between these two is conflict enough lol, even as friends.

and like, Ladyno!r/ adr!nette hasn’t felt like anything but endgame in a long time. it’s not a question of if but a question of when and that just. it. like it totally nerfs the tension of the romantic plot. like lukanette and Adrigami were never treated by the show as valid threats to the love square shenanigans. Like it was never “oh Luka and Marinette are in such deep ~love~ and have been dating for a season will Adriboo ever win his dearest babysitter girlfriend back?” It’s always been “will Marinette ever stop being stupid and lame and be good enough for Adriboo already?? Jeez!”. The show has always steered the characters away from good alternatives, less by a gentle hand on the rudder and more by lassoing them and running back to the main path.

It doesn’t feel natural or make sense for this to be the narrative’s end, Adr!nette is so forced and clumsy by the writers constantly trying to stuff the ~love~ down our throats. They keep contriving circumstances for ~drama~ like Chat Blanc and Ephemreal to try and keep the attention on the square but it just. It sucks I don’t know how else to put it.

Pls tell me more of the luxy agenda

ok u literally asked for this!! lol

so this moment is where it all starts. it’s so gay. look at that.

but if u wanna know my in-depth reasons for liking this ship, read on under the cut lol

for me the core of luxy is twofold:

1. Some characters need a conflicting personality to make a really interesting ship dynamic.

2. Some characters are garbage and need someone really insightful and patient to help them get better.

Personally I feel like Luka’s potential as a character is best served when he is met with opposition. That brings out a side of him we don’t get to see often and provides a challenge he can grow into as a character. Like in Silencer! He’s a very chill dude but when you piss him off, he hisses lol. And I think that is interesting and I want to see more of what Luka is like when he is challenged. Because of this, ships like Lukanette and Lukadrien aren’t really my cup of tea personally (no salt if that is your thing tho!), but ships like Lukloe and Lukagami and Luxy intrigue me because of the personality clash. Luka’s generally very understanding, compassionate, and intuitive, so he can have a softening effect in a ship that could really benefit someone who is a little more emotionally stiff/closed off than he is. And on the other hand, someone with a strong opposing personality could have a fortifying/stretching effect on him, inspiring him to be a little more direct and active and state his needs and wants clearly.

So Luka and XY are already perfect counterparts for this kind of opposites-attract ship. And they also have some key similarities that make them potentially able to relate to each other while also still driving that central conflict. For example, they’re both musicians, but they go about it in opposite ways—creating original, organic-sounding stuff vs digital remixing (and also straight-up ripping off lol). They also both have crappy dads, but Luka's was AWOL his whole life whereas XY's basically controls his life.

Ofc for Luxy to work as a ship, XY has to have redemptive potential, which is very easy for me to invent for him based on this one moment lol:

XY is clearly a terrible person in canon lol but this 1.3-second clip provides just enough to fill in the rest with headcanons that could make Luxy sail 😌 Here are my personal favs:

XY actually is a surprisingly talented musician/DJ in his own right, but his dad discourages him from making his own stuff because he wants to stick with the formula he knows will sell. XY is basically just a face to make money off of, and deep down he is dissatisfied with his father's creative control. He wants to stop stealing and make original music instead, but because of his dad's snide comments, he's afraid he's actually no good anyway.

XY is in the closet but struggles with internalized homophobia because of his homophobic dad. Whenever he tries to talk with his dad about it, Bob shuts him down, makes disparaging remarks, and implies that XY's career and life will be destroyed if he comes out.

XY's fame grants him a wide but shallow social pool. He has lots of fans and a group/posse his dad keeps around him for influence, but he has no close friends and no one he can be honest with about his feelings. Underneath his gaudy bling and scientifically impossible hair, he is just a lonely, scared little boy 😔

So when you mix this all together, what do you get? A enemies-to-lovers slowburn that inspires character development on both sides (and a whole redemption for XY), with plenty of room both for crack/clownery and angst and hurt/comfort. And there is also some great symbolism involved, with Luka being the hero of second chances. Very tasty, in my humble opinion 🤠

Lukanette Minific October: Ship

The Liberty being made into a Halloween party ship was a sight to behold. The boat was nearly overcapacity, but Anarka insisted the more the better. And every party member on deck was partying hard at Kitty Section playing a cover of "This is Halloween."

Marinette and Luka were worried there would be a few bouts of seasickness from the audience. But so far everything was going decent as the boat continued to sail and people all around Paris watched them as they went by.

Marinette was absolutely enamored at Luka's Jack Skellington outfit. He looked spooky and adorable as the tall handsome pumpkin king. While Luka played his guitar, he couldn't help but lock eyes with Marinette, who smiled at him from the energetic crowd. She looked adorable in her Sally cosplay.

They realized they should've cosplayed as Jack and Sally a long time ago. It made them feel they were truly meant to be. Even Anarka and the members of Kitty Section felt the couple were the best at wearing matching outfits.

When the song ended Luka held out his hand for Marinette.

Everyone on deck cheered for the adorable Jack and Sally cosplayers on stage.

I just hate that people are hating Marinette for not choosing Luka/Adrien to tell her secret.

Like the girl is literally having a mental BREAKDOWN, is now really the time to be scolding her for not letting their ship sail??

Both Lovesquare and Lukanette shippers are doing this, marinette really doesnt need to focus on romance right now, she just needs help and support. They're calling her a traitor for seeking it out from Alya

Yeah that’s not cool.

Saying that Chat may be upset and hurt, and rightfully so, given that it would feel like another case of Ladybug trusting someone else more than him, making it feel like the identity rule is personal rather than a necessity? That’s fine.

But Marinette NEEDED Alya. She was breaking down RIGHT THEN, and there was little to stop the kind of disaster that unfolded in Gang of Secrets from happening again in the future, next time Marinette needed some sort of support in her civilian life, next time her superhero life collided with her civilian life and caused issues there.

Now, Chat could actually provide SOME support on that front, since he’s Adrien and is in her civilian life as well, but it’s not like she knows that, and he couldn’t provide as much as Alya can since Adrien doesn’t have the same level of freedom that she does as a civilian. Plus there’s the whole “love life” issues and... yeah it wasn’t gonna work.

Oh, and Chat Blanc was a thing that is gonna color any decisions to let Adrien or Chat Noir know her identity, so there’s that as well.

Basically if Chat’s upset about Ladybug sharing her identity with someone else before sharing it with him, especially with her being the one who’s most insistent on the rule, that’s fair.

But Marinette’s feelings ALSO matter and frankly, she needed to tell Alya here. And it’s not like it was planned, it was spur-of-the-moment.

Both Adrien’s and Marinette’s feelings are important. Sometimes they can come into conflict with each other with BOTH being valid. Sometimes circumstances just suck, but neither of them are in the wrong.
