[shameboree]

Could you tell us more about your bad vives AU? I love your art btw <3

okay id like to preface with a lot of it is VIBES which means if smth doesnt make sense i need everyone to suspend the FUCK out of their disbelief dont question me we are here for a GOOD TIME and a GOOD TIME ONLY. here are some bullet points largely summing up things ive already drawn!!!! pls note my fav kind of Time Stuff is bullshit miserable groundhog day style time loops

-chat blanc gets the bunny miraculous we dont ask questions about this

-he SLINKS ARND IN THE SHADOWS of paris for a while and it builds up marinettes paranoia bc shes TOTALLY 100% SEEN CHAT NOIR and knows that absolutely he isnt akumatized so she gaslights herself into thinking she hasnt caught random glimpses of chat blanc BUT ALSO spirals into a state of FULL BLOWN constant fight or flight response and wont sleep so that shes not vulnerable

-blah blah chat blanc drops in on her while adrien is arnd entirely bc i really wanted to draw that thing of adrien doing the Mom Arm when the car stops too fast bc this whole sitch is just a violent messy WRECK. anyway chat blancs whole attitude is like hewwo my love <:3c im here to give us a super romantic ending <:3c and marinettes response to everything is just like. okay cool, i am going to puke now!! meanwhile adriens just like what the FUCK is happening here

-anyway. more cat n mouse games. ANYWAY. at some point its lb vs cb but chat blanc is just having a great week and WINNING so gets her earrings or smth who cares and successfully romeo and juliets himself n marinette yandere style. a VERY ROMANTIC ENDING bc nothing was ever gonna fix things OBVI so ofc they have to just die in each others arms 💖

-YES adrien experiences massive manpain NO i dont care anyones opinion on it bc i love to see the kids cry. OBVI he is catastropically devastated and NO there is no identity reveal hes just deeply and viciously torn tf UP over marinette getting dead and also feeling completely helpless AND ALSO ALSO like hes the one to blame <:3

-everyone is so catatonic in the wake of No More Marinette that even adrien doesnt notice ladybug hasnt been arnd since

-idk. timeloop shit. adriens stuck in a cycle of the night before (V HARD TO GET A HEAD START IN SUCH A SHORT TIMEFRAME!!) day of, n day after (so no matter what he always has to reexperience the aftermath hehe). i am actually not a huge fan of when longer timespan loops get past mid teens (ESP when it gets to TRIPLE DIGITS???!) bc it feels like it cheapens the experience and also acute stress is sexier than chronic SO ANYWAY. eventually he will obviously succeed in brking the loop and keeping marinette frm dying. good for him.

-every loop is a little different bc every loop marinette CANT PUT HER FINGER ON IT but she knows something is Not Right, which chat blanc is ALSO feelin, so every time they react or do smth diff which means adrien is constantly having to deal w CHANGING VARIABLES !! hes having a bad time. marinette is having a bad time. chat blanc is having a very good time

-final actual confrontation or whatever is pure marichat (DOUBLETEAM. MARI IS AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT EVEN AS A CIVILIAN. YOU GO BABY!!). ive only drawn adrinette moment but the whole thing is very marichat bc im PREDICTABLE!! anyway no lb bc marinette freaks out cb is gonna take her earrings or cataclysm them so she just straight up swallows em. good job baby.

-THE END BABY!! epilogue reveal EVENTUALLY but for quite some time after they are both quietly carrying the weight of their secret traumas alone w neither of them having a full picture of the situation but not knowing it. what a good time :)

i think this looks v adrien focused but they are all having their separate little stories here and its largely marinette feeling isolated and small for all her mistakes, and chat blanc feels like the worst possible one she has or could ever make so she cant consider asking anyone, let alone CHAT NOIR HIMSELF!! to help her, which just makes everything 100000x harder. by the end of the STORY PROPER she accepts she can trust herself in chat noirs hands but shes still too scared to put her full weight on him bc she doesnt wanna FUCK UP. meanwhile adrien wont say shit to her abt it bc he doesnt wanna burden her w his SECRETS also hes drownin in guilt. also eventual identity reveal changes nothing for him in terms of grief bc he already felt like he died every time marinette did except worse bc he had to just keep living anyway :) but now also hes afraid of an identity reveal for probably obvious reasons. and then beloved CHAT BLANC man of the HOUR switched gears frm wanting to Fix things to wanting to destroy things bc hes a fucking yandere wifeguy OKAY. he knows he is forever RUINED for love of marinette and since he cant have her future is instead entirely focused on making sure he has all of her end <:3c

dw the kids are gonna be OKAY. they are insane and the power of LOVE will help pull them thru, theyre just going to be incredibly clingy for the rest of their LIVES

i love to draw very cutesy w soft and warm palettes and then have the Content be batshit miserable badtimes. i also like to draw a lot of goofy moments btwn and during the Traumas bc i love to be a dumbass

THIS ENDED UP SO LONG SORRY EVERYONE!!! please enjoy my unhinged misery porn 😊💖

Forgotten (part 2)

It was the next day. Adrien sat at his desk. He had bags under his eyes. He was so tired. He had no sleep last night. But he wouldn't miss school. He'd been fighting so long for this little bit of freedom, he didn't want to miss a single minute from it. He rested his head on the desk.

Marinette walked in. Late, as always. Miss Bustier nodded and Marinette went to her seat. While doing so, she saw Adrien. He looked exhausted. She sat down. "Alya, what's wrong with Adrien?" She wispered. Alya wispered back: "I don't know, he just said he stayed up late at night." Marinette looked worried at Adrien, who was almost sleeping.

"Adrien! No sleeping!" Adrien shot up. "S-Sorry miss Bustier." He said fast.

In the middle of a lesson, an akuma attack happened. Adrien sighed. He had to show up. But he didn't want to. The class went to save places as class was dismissed. Adrien transformed. He left to help Ladybug.

Ladybug was already there. Were is that cat? Is he mad? I have to make it up to him! She jumped away when the villian almost hit her. Great, it was an ice villian, if he hit you with a piece of ice, you'll freeze.

There he was, Chat Noir. He landed next to Ladybug. Before they could say anything, the villian jumped infront of them. "So ThE cAt ShOwEd Up!?" He said. He had a weird voice. "Yes!" Chat yelled to him. "I'm here to defeat you!" The villian rolled with his eyes and attacked.

The fight was not easy. Chat got almost hit, but he dodged just in time. The move however, was really painfull. He had to jump of a roof he was standing on. He hadn't had his stick, it was freezed by the villian. But Ladybug was beneat him, he thought she'd catch him. But no, she wasn't paying attention. He smacked to the ground. He was sure he felt something break.

Ladybug jumped. "Chat! Oh no why didn't you tell me you would jump!?" Chat tried to get up, but fell down, holding his chest. One of his ribs were broken. The villian noticed and was ready to attack Chat at his lowest point.

Did you enjoy? Then pls like. Comment 'Strawberry' if you want a shoutout! Oh and shoutout to @stargazer-luna

OMG YOU UPDATED ODNLB AND I'M DYING OVER HERE

LIKE, the little Adrienette?? Baby boy cares so much for his friends and seems willing to risk it all just to spend time with them.

ALSO THAT LITTLE MARIWALKER???? That's just so heartbreaking because he already told ladybug that he has no choice and this settled that on her mind as a fact???? SHE KNOWS THEY KNOW EACH OTHER OUT OF THE MASKS BUT THEY DON'T KNOW HOW GORGEOUSLY COMPLICATED THAT IS

This is a "we hate Lila's guts" account and i will not take any criticism on it. BTW I NEED ME SOME CHLOÉ REDEMPTION ARC, SHE DOES SEEM LIKE SHE'S CHANGED AND HAS GROWN AHHHHHHHHH

Let me lie down and cry for a bit because your fic is so beautiful and angsty and my brains keep theorizing about what will you write for next chapters while also imagining what to draw about it (I'm not that good at it but it's a great hobby)

In other news: I have midterms less than 10 hours from now (it's 5am here) BUT YOU UPDATED AND I NOTICED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AFTER PULLING MY STUDY ALMOST ALL NIGHTER, please wish me some luck for my Literary Theory & Analysis exam

omg I hope you did good on your midterm 😭 pls get sleep next time lol I promise the chapter will still be there when you're done with your test and have a nap lol

i support your lila hate account 100%. she's a sociopath or something idk, but she fell into the unredeemable villain role so easily! i always have 1 villain in my writing who's completely crazy but the others get (mostly) humanized with tragic backstories or redemption arcs...well i guess if i ever publish some non fanfic stuff, you'll see.

the mariwalker scene has been such a long time coming! it's one of the scenes that i first visualized for this fic; that cw would save marinette, she'd yell at him, and then the peacock mask would appear over his face & shut her up. i'm rather pleased with how it came out in the fic haha, just the right balance of quirk and angst.

honestly i'm just glad to hear you liked it! i treasure every comment & fanart i've gotten. still feels unreal to know my fic can inspire you to make your own fanart! like wow, my heart ❤️ thank you i love hearing your comments but pls go to sleep lol

Bruce:

you’re either a millenial or you’re into dilfs

you think you’re the therapist friend

you think you’d be the “cool mom” when you get kids

But you’re the wine aunt

or you said you liked bruce unironically but now you actually like him

Dick

touch starved

you’ve never met a “nice guy” who was actually nice and you want that in a relationship

you’re sad right now i can feel it

I dont think you like reading

Jason

you see your first mistake was having a crush on someone with a j name-

please lower your voice 

To sum it up people who crush on jason remind me of this ex friend named Sophia who gave me trauma

no i will not elaborate

You like to focus on the fact that people say jason likes poetry not the part where he kills people often

Tim

you’ve never met a guy who is equal/ greater than you in terms of intelligence and wasnt a dick about it

hopeless romantic but has never had a boyfriend

you probably also like timothee chalamet or other white boys of the month

You might need to see a therapist idk

Damian

How are your grades?

you probably are a daminette enthusiast because you project onto marinette LMAO 

Why do you fall for guys who don’t care about you

get off of minecraft and get your life together

enfp

Duke

Im cutting you guys some slack bc there’s NO duke content ever

[chatonnoir]

ladybug being soft for chat and Adrien being soft for Marinette headcanons pls if u don't mind

thank u so much for this very important ask

Ladybug w/ Chat Noir

We know she's canonically touchy/physically affectionate and I already have the proof that she will find any excuse to have her hands on Chat Noir so I imagine she's used to just being casually physically affectionate w/ him without even thinking about it. She’ll affectionately nudge the side of his face when she’s teasing him while they’re off duty. She’ll sometimes hold on to his arm while they’re walking together in the park. She’ll let her hand linger on his elbow or his arm or his back or his shoulder because it just feels right. She’ll unconsciously play with his fingers in her hands while she's thinking or just talking about everything and nothing. She’ll rub his arm comfortingly if he got knocked around a lot in a particularly difficult fight. She’ll reach up and start fixing his hair when it gets really tousled like it’s the most normal thing in the world.

She sometimes ends up taking naps while leaning against him after patrols because of her terrible habit of taking on too many obligations and missing hours of sleep because of it. It wasn’t intentional at first - the first few times she just fell asleep unintentionally but soon it became a routine thing. She falls asleep more easily in these moments than she usually does at home because she never feels more at ease than when she’s with him. (The purring also helps.)

She absolutely has a weakness for his big ol kitty eyes. If he proposes that they take a detour to go get some crepes or asks her to hangout on patrol just a little longer or what have you she absolutely can’t say no to those eyes. It’s made even worse by the way he smiles and lights up when she agrees. (And his smile is infectious)

She keeps a mental list of all his favorite sweet treats for when she brings goodies from the bakery on patrols. She also keeps a mental list of funny things she sees throughout each day that she knows he'd love so that she can tell him about them on their next patrol and see him laugh.

In situations where he's not right next to her, she often thinks about what Chat Noir would say about it if he was - what joke he might make, the inflection of his voice, how he might throw a smile at her when he does.

All the flowers she’s ever accepted from him are pressed in the pages of her diary.

She thinks of him and smiles whenever she sees the sun setting.

Adrien w/ Marinette

One time Marinette had one of her nonsensical babbling episodes in front of Adrien and then she was all exasperated with herself like "I'm so sorry I'm babbling I probably don't even make any sense," and with that Soft Look(tm) on his face Adrien just so easily replied "I could listen to you babble for hours.” Marinette flatlined.

He perfectly remembers basically every interaction with her bc of how much he cherishes their time together. Rip to Marinette because this means he doesn’t forget all her embarrassing mistakes but he’s only ever charmed by it, even if he has no idea what she meant to say. Marinette will offhandedly remember something like “oh, remember that time when…” and Adrien will smile fondly and be like, “yeah, you bumped into me and said [word for word quote]” and she’s half mortified and half stunned.

While she was talking, Adrien once randomly brushed some of her hair out of her face without really thinking about it. She froze and stared at him in flustered silence for a minute after that. He wants to do it again. He absolutely will do it again.

Alya teased Adrien with the photo of them asleep together on the train. He asked her to send him the photo. He printed it out and now keeps it in his wallet.

He thinks of her and smiles every time it rains.

[ellienettie]

okay but imagine if Gabriel and Audrey both wanted to mentor Marinette

Like they’re both just fighting for her. Gabriel’s like “No one’s better than me!” And Audrey’s like “I made you!” and then Gabriel (since he’s focusing on how to get Marinette to let him be her boss) doesn’t do his work as hawkmoth. 

And at first Gabriel is like “I guess I’ll be your mentor, since obviously no one’s better than me, and you need to reach your potential” and Audrey just steals Marinette from him like “I made him, I can make you. I’ll make you bigger than him. I’ll be your mentor” and gradually it went from discrete to literally fighting over her while grabbing her arms.

Audrey: *showing off a scarf Marinette made her on twitter* would be such a shame if someone just mentored her!

Gabriel: *tweeting* I’ll literally adopt her. Don’t try me.

Marinette: please don’t, I have parents.

Audrey: ridiculous how you think that’ll stop me

Marinette: I HAVE PARENTS

Gabriel: AND WE HAVE EXPERIENCE. LET US MENTOR YOU.

Marinette: I WOULD IF YOU STOPPED TRYING TO ADOPT ME

Jagged: NETTIE! YOU’LL LET THEM ADOPT YOU BUT NOT ME?

*a random fan*: MDC leave some parents for us please

Marinette: take all of them.

_________________

And they’re both overprotective of her. Gabriel makes sure that no akuma is near her or harms her and Audrey sends bodyguards. Then Gabriel found out about Lila. 

Lila: I’m just trying to make sure your son is safe, M. Gabriel! Marinette is a bad influence on him!

Gabriel with an *I ship Adrinette, you can pry that ship off my cold dead hands* shirt in the car: ...say sike right now

Lila: *not seeing the shirt* She’s so mean, and she’s a bully too! 

Gabriel, holding a cup that says “Marinette is the best”: ...I ain’t having this.

*cue him spilling the tea on lila with Audrey and her going “ridiculous! I’ll ruin her!”

And then Marinette starts dating Adrien and Gabriel’s just “... SUCK IT” 

Like: 

Gabriel: ...I see... Nathalie, open my twitter account. Nathalie: *opens twitter* Gabriel: *tweeting out* SUCK IT AUDREY I'LL BE HER DAD IN LAW. MY SON WILL BE HER HUSBAND. Audrey: *Responding to tweet* I CAN STILL BE HER MENTOR Gabriel: *responds* THAT'S NOW RESERVED FOR ME. SUCK IT.

and it just blows up on the internet (Stuff like #MDCunderGabriel or smth) 

And imagine if Gabriel’s like, working late at night then suddenly thinks “holy fuck I have Marinette by my side LADYBUG DOESN’T HAVE A CHANCE” and him telling Marinette and Adrien that he’s hawkmoth.

Marinette: ...but...why

Adrien: *internal panic* Oh so that’s why you ignore me-

Gabriel: My wife is in a coma cause of a broken miraculous. I need a wish to wake her up.

Marinette: *the guardian* ...no. You know what- we’re talking about your punishment later. Come on kitty we’re reviving your mom

Adrien: *midlife crisis* ...mom?

Cue Gabriel with a suprised pikachu face

(He sulked for a week after her realized that the punishment was Marinette would let Audrey mentor her for a month. Audrey had this smug look on her face all the time when she was near Gabriel with Marinette and Emilie’s like: ...That’s not my kid why are you acting like Adrien betrayed you? *cue Gabriel dramatically looking out the window despite there being no window* “You don’t understand... I loved her like a daughter” Adrien: *patting his back* It’ll only be for a month father)

...also imagine [especially since they never announced it that hawkmoth was defeated] if everyone in the family uses akumas to get out of meetings now. (mostly Gabriel and Adrien but Marinette needs the sleep sometimes)

Like imagine if Gabriel and Adrien are stuck in a boring meeting

Adrien in a boring business meeting: *texting Gabriel* dad pls make an akuma this is so boring Gabriel: *also in the meeting* I can't I'm literally with you in the meeting Adrien: well who's at home? Gabriel: Nathalie, Emilie and Marinette Adrien: ...well we need a ladybug... Gabriel: ask your mother Adrien: *after a few minutes* she said no Gabriel: ask your wife Adrien: *after a few minutes* she also said no Gabriel: I know Nathalie will say no. We're doomed Adrien: hold on I'll use my charm Gabriel: atta boy *an akuma appears to trap them in the meeting* Gabriel: who did you ask                                                                                Adrien: mom                                                                                                Gabriel: never ask her again.

*cue Gabriel dramatically reacting over how his wife betrayed him*

Gabriel: *draping himself over the couch* My heart! Oh! My own wife!

Marinette: *sipping on some coffee* I would’ve done the same

Adrien: *gasping while dramatically draping himself on the curtains* My own partner!

Emilie: Sometimes I wish I didn’t wake up

Marinette: and sometimes I wish I chose Audrey

Gabriel: *falling on the floor with his hand over his forehead and chest* Betrayal!!

All the kwamis: ....is he always like this?

Nooroo: there’s usually a speech to go along with it.

Dusuu: the hand movements are always there

My opinions cuz I’m bored

I like marigami better than any of the love square ships right now

Jo March is ace. And she is either a trans man or a lesbian.

Star Butterfly would love Luz and I wish I was in a cartoon.

I accept Chair slander but Dair also sucks ass. Blair should’ve married me, obviously.

Serena and Dan suck. Jenny is awesome and if u dislike her cuz of sleeping with chuck, I am assuming ur misogynistic.

Thomas Astruc is the worst. I’m divorcing him from his work. He got JK Rowling’d

I feel yucky watching fatws cuz of the military propaganda.

B99 is cop propaganda. The only good cop show (that I know of) is Murdoch Mysteries. It’s hella leftist IMO

I hope Damon Salvatore is burning in hell. No idc if he’s not dead.

Stopping hating kagami for no reason. This misogynistic “don’t steal my man, even tho we aren’t dating” bullshit has been going on for years. Plus, kagami is helping mari realize her wrongs, which (I’m pretty sure) adrien hasn’t done cuz they aren’t THAT good of friends.

I only ship bellarke to piss of racists and biphobes

Bravenlarke is where it’s at.

Adrien x kagami x Marinette is perfection. I will write a one shot for it.

Wonderbat supremacy

Bucky Barnes is hella bland tbh. I do not stan seb

I’m shipping queer shit cuz people are fucking queer is fuck, Harold. Get over yourself.

I liked cruella. It’s a banger

The devil wears Prada was not good

Women and feminine aligned people. Chances are, ur standards are not high. Sometimes they’re very fucking low. Pls know you’re worth so much. Same with everyone else obviously. It just happens more to feminine aligned people. It’s a weird societal thing

I will do this again. This was fun. Have a good day.

Move to Safety

After Adrien just happens to spy Nooroo in his father's office, he's sent into an panic. His father is Hawkmoth, which means that Adrien is in serious danger.

Thankfully the Dupain-Chengs are more than willing to step up to the plate and lend a helping hand.

links in the reblog

Adrien didn't know what he was going to do. He paced, he grabbed at his hair, he made a couple stabs at making plans to run away but found big, gaping holes in his plans almost immediately when he actually managed to take a half-step back and look at them again.

His father was Hawkmoth, and Adrien Was Not Dealing.

"I can't sleep here, what if he finds out about me?" Adrien asked frantically for the twenty-fifth time, carding his fingers through his hair. "Or what if he already knows? What if he suspects something and decides to put up a camera on my window? What if-"

"Okay, first of all, I do check for things like cameras and hidden microphones all the time," Plagg said loudly, cutting through Adrien's panicked fog for the first time in- well, for the first time in however many minutes it had been that Adrien had been freaking out. "There aren't any over here or any even pointed in this direction, which is a bit odd considering how often you sneak out but maybe it's because people can't really sneak in this way. Second of all- can't you move out? You were planning on doing that when you went to university anyway, right?"

Adrien nodded, then shook his head. "I'm too young to move out yet, I still have a few months before I'll even be able to sign a lease. And if I move out right away- then he'll know that something is up. It's better not to arouse any suspicions, but I don't want to be close enough for him to get any suspicions about me."

"He's had years to get suspicious about you, though," Plagg countered. "It's not like you just started being Chat Noir."

"Yeah, well, I've had years to get suspicious about him, too, and look at where we are now!"

Plagg looked. His usually picture-perfect Chosen was a frazzled mess in the middle of his room, hair sticking up oddly from him pulling at it so much. He could see where Adrien had been pacing in the carpet, the little loops scuffed more than the ones around them. Scattered pages of notes from his half-baked plans covered the top of the desk, some things circled and others crossed out (and some circled and then crossed out).

It was a somewhat unsettling picture.

"Okay, so first of all, don't let on that anything is different," Plagg said, because apparently he had to be the cool-headed thinker between the two of them now. "If you do, your father will investigate. Second of all, you have locks on your doors, right? Lock them at night."

Adrien shook his head. "It won't make a difference. Father has the keys to all of the rooms. At best, I could set an alarm so that I would wake up if someone came in, but that would be hard to do without anyone noticing. What if I set it at night, had to go out for a morning akuma attack and forgot about it, and one of the maids tried to come in? Then the alarm would go off and Father would be so confused and annoyed and would investigate and-"

Plagg watched, unimpressed. "I think pigtails is wearing off on you with the over-the-top unrealistic panic scenarios."

"They aren't unrealistic! You've seen what Father is like. Paranoid and controlling and- he's a supervillain, Plagg, it's not unrealistic for him to notice something off in the room and wonder about it and then he would try to lock me down even more while he tries to figure out what's going on and why I have an alarm system set up on the interior doors of my room."

...his Chosen had a good point. So Plagg sighed, floated down to desk level, and actually gave it some more thought.

Tikki would be so proud of him right now.

"Okay, so you'll definitely have to tell Ladybug sooner rather than later," Plagg started, because while the discovery was earth-shattering for Adrien, he still had to think like a superhero. "And then, uh..."

Yeah, so maybe he was coming up a little blank.

"Yeah, that was about as far as I got, too," Adrien said moodily, flopping down in his desk chair and spinning around. "I mean, once I turn eighteen and can rent a place, I could just escape at night and run over there to sleep. As long as I set an alarm every night, I should be able to get back here before anyone notices that I'm gone. And I would only need to buy a mattress to keep over there, at least until I move out for good. And at least I can afford it," he added. "All of the money from my modeling and commercials and all the other stuff that I've done- that's in my account, and no one can take it from me. I made sure that the account was entirely in my name last year, when I started thinking about moving out. Neither Father nor Nathalie can touch the money in there, I made sure of that."

That still left several months between now and then which- well, again, not ideal. Maybe they would defeat his father before then, since they knew where to find him now, but if they didn't...

"Lots of sleepovers with friends, maybe?" Plagg suggested weakly. Adrien laughed, then sighed.

"Yeah, I wish. I think Nino might start to wonder if I showed up at his house every night for three and a half months, though. And his parents might call Father, and I don't want that." Adrien slumped in his chair again, then straightened with a yelp when he caught sight of the time. "Oh! Crud, I'm meant to be going over to Marinette's house today so we can all hang out today. I don't want to be late for that. C'mon, Plagg, let's go!"

  Adrien was undeniably, irrefutably, most definitely feeling off. And it was showing. He had lost the last three games of Mecha Strike to Nino, of all people- and he had lost badly. Thankfully his friends seemed willing enough to write it off to exhaustion from too many photoshoots instead of interrogating him on his distraction, and so Adrien got off scot-free.

That wasn't good if he was so obviously distracted, though. Nathalie would see through his squirrely behavior in an instant. She knew that he didn't have an overly loaded schedule- well, no more loaded than it usually was, at least- and she would be more likely to ask question.

He wondered if she knew about his father. She had to, right? There was no way that she could miss it when she was working in the same room as him day in and day out-

-she was Mayura, wasn't she. The thought hit Adrien like a brick wall, and he swallowed hard, feeling a little ill. His father was his family and Nathalie had been like family and they were the supervillains terrorizing Paris, the ones that he had to fight against almost every other day.

He was going to be sick.

How Adrien made it through the rest of his get-together with his friends, he didn't know. It seemed like time flashed by in an instant and then Nino and Alya were leaving, headed out the door together arm-in-arm and without a care in the world. Adrien was about to follow them- now that he was nearly eighteen, he was actually allowed to walk between Marinette's house and his own instead of having the Gorilla drive him for the few short blocks- when a slender hand slid around his wrist, stopping him before he could get more than a couple steps. Confused, Adrien blinked and turned around to see Marinette staring up at him, concern written across her face.

"Something is bothering you, isn't it?" Marinette asked, tugging Adrien gently away from the door and letting it close. "You've been off the entire time that you've been here."

Adrien tried for a smile. "It's nothing, just photoshoots-"

"You haven't had a photoshoot in three days, and you were just fine after the last one," Marinette shot back, and belatedly Adrien remembered that oh, right, Marinette had an open invitation to all of his photoshoots and knew when they were. "And if you were tired, you would have passed out on the couch while we were playing games. Instead, you were almost fidgeting out of your skin. And you suddenly got more distracted partway through- you looked like you were about to be sick."

"Start-of-summer cold?" Adrien offered up weakly. Marinette looked even less convinced, brow furrowed with concern as she gazed up at him. All of a sudden, Adrien couldn't do it anymore.

"My father is Hawkmoth," Adrien confessed in a rush, practically collapsing in on himself. "I was passing by his office today and I saw him talking to Noor- to his kwami, and it was a butterfly, and then he pulled off his necktie and was rubbing this brooch underneath it and why would he hide any jewelry if it weren't the Miraculous? And Nathalie knows, she has to, she's in the same office all day and she has to be Mayura and I'm living in the same house as two supervillains and I can't move out for a year without them getting suspicious and what am I meant to do?"

Marinette looked rather as though she had been hit by a truck, she was so surprised. Adrien winced.

...he definitely could have broken the news better. Maybe she wouldn't want to be near him now, because it would be dangerous to be near the son of a supervillain even though he wasn't a supervillain, he was a superhero, and wasn't that ironic? He had to fight against his own father.

That was really, really messed up.

Marinette's expression shifted from startled to confused, and Adrien heard her mumble "But how does he know what-?" before her grip suddenly tightened around his wrist and she turned his hand, just enough to see his ring glinting in the sun. She let a tiny oh, and suddenly Adrien knew without question that somehow she had just figured out his secret identity.

A soft thud behind them caught Adrien's attention next, and both he and Marinette swung around in time to see Mr. Dupain startle, righting his tray before another loaf of bread could fall off. His gaze returned to Adrien as soon as he had ensured that all of the bread was safe, and- okay, apparently Marinette's dad had overheard him.

He hadn't planned on letting people know, let alone this many. Marinette's family was perfectly normal and completely functional and he shouldn't be burdening them with his family's problems. But now Mr. Dupain was setting down his tray to come over and wrap Adrien up in a hug, and when had Marinette started hugging him? Adrien couldn't help but stiffen up in surprise at first, before practically collapsing into the hug.

Adrien hadn't been hugged like this for so long. Two sets of arms wrapped around him, and Marinette's hands were rubbing up and down his back. It was absolute unquestioning acceptance, and Adrien couldn't even manage to be embarrassed about the tears that he could definitely feel starting to leak down his cheeks. Marinette's cheek was pressed against his, and she clearly had no reservations about holding him close.

"Does your father know that you found out about him?" Mr. Dupain asked, pulling back but only enough so that he could see Adrien. "Or doesn't he know?"

"He doesn't know," Adrien said at once. After all, he hadn't lingered much in the atrium once he saw the kwami- Nooroo, Plagg had called him- before making a hasty (and quiet) escape to his room. In fact, he wouldn't be 100% sure of what he had seen if it weren't for the fact that Plagg had seen it, too, and had even zipped back to try to eavesdrop for a bit. "I left right away, and he wasn't facing the door. But I just- I can't believe that I've been sleeping under the same roof as a supervillain. Two supervillains, if you count Nathalie."

"You don't feel safe sleeping there anymore, do you?" Mr. Dupain asked at once. He was frowning. "I know that I wouldn't."

Adrien nodded, burying his face in Marinette's hair and trying not to sound like he was about to cry. He was pretty certain that he wasn't succeeding. Also, he was definitely getting snot all over her hair, and he would have to apologize for that later. "Yeah. I was planning on moving out once I started university, and of course I can get an apartment once I reach my birthday and then just sneak out to sleep there, but I would have to wait for that."

"And it's very possible that your landlord would still reach out to your father," Mr. Dupain said, and Adrien's head flew up in alarm to stare at him in alarm. He had only done a little research on apartments, enough to figure out that he had to legally be an adult to rent without a guardian's signature, but he had a source of income and a savings account of his own and surely that would be enough, right?

Marinette was frowning, too. "But surely if he asked the landlord not to say anything, they wouldn't?"

Her dad shook his head. "Not necessarily. I assume that you would pick something small and relatively cheap, at least for the time being," he said to Adrien, and Adrien nodded in confirmation. He didn't want to spend too much money right away, after all. "Right. Some of those landlords- well, they're not the best, to say the least. They would know that you come from money and they might try to exploit that. It's not legal, and all you would have to do to get them to back off if they were trying to push for more than what's in the lease is report it, but if something like that happens or you forget to pay on time they might go to your father, and once is all you need for him to find out."

Adrien nodded, his heart sinking.

"And frankly- Adrien, you're still a teenager. You're still a kid. You shouldn't have to be spending your money on essentials yet, and I'm not comfortable with letting you do that." Mr. Dupain glanced towards the bakery, where Mrs. Cheng was still working the front counter. "I'd have to discuss it with Sabine, of course, but- Adrien, we do have a guest room that rarely ever gets used."

Adrien's jaw was practically on the floor at the implied offer as soon as it sunk in. "I- I mean, that would be- are you sure?"

Mr. Dupain smiled, clapping Adrien on the shoulder. "You're a kind young man, Adrien. If you don't feel safe at home, we'd be more than happy to help. I will have to tell Sabine about your father, though, to convince her that we're actually helping and not just trying to steal you away from your family. Not that she would be entirely opposed to that, of course."

If it would get him a place to stay at night, that was fine. He would just have to trust that the Dupain-Chengs wouldn't get akumatized before he and Ladybug could take Hawkmoth down. "Of course."

"Good, good." Mr. Dupain gave Adrien's shoulder a squeeze before stepping back and picking up his tray of bread again. "Why don't you two head back upstairs then? If you can stay for dinner, Adrien, then maybe we can discuss how this is all going to work out?"

Adrien nodded obediently, glancing back towards Marinette. He certainly wouldn't mind staying longer- the Dupain-Cheng home was so warm and friendly, so very unlike his own- and he also had a few things that he needed to discuss with Marinette. Namely, the fact that she had figured out that he was Chat Noir.

Somehow.

Adrien's mind was racing as he and Marinette headed back upstairs. He was trying to figure out where to start. Should he try to deny her discovery? Would she even believe him if he tried? Something told him no.

"We're going to have to figure out how to time things so that your father doesn't catch on," Marinette said as she ushered Adrien back upstairs towards their living room. She sent him a sharp look. "Though I suppose that you being able to just slip in and out from your window makes things easier."

...yeah, he wasn't even going to try to deny his secret identity. Marinette hadn't phrased it as a question. She knew.

Adrien sighed, his shoulders slumping in defeat. Ladybug wasn't going to be happy about someone finding out his secret identity, but at least- well, at least they knew Hawkmoth's identity, too, so an end to this whole fight was in sight. Hopefully. "Yeah, it makes things a lot easier. But speaking of that..."

Marinette glanced up at him. "Yes?"

"We really need to talk."

Miraculous Revenge Chapter 1 (Rewrite)

So if you are reading this then you are reading the rewrite of this chapter. I decided to remake the first 13, or as much as I thought needed improving, because well why else would I? I think it is much better than the original. Some stuff has changed but the core is the same! And thanks to @can-i-leave-pls for being the first person to read it. She is an amazing mutual who deserves all the love!

Mentally Marinette felt like a million euros, and she couldn't wait for school today. Physically she was exhausted and needed even more sleep. She groaned as she laid in her bed, face planted in her pillow and rear end in the air. Tikki decided to climb up her legs and slide down her back, landing in a mess of tangled black hair.

"Tikki, you can't just pull a Flintstones on my back every time I lay like this." The girl said through subtle laughs. The feeling sent a tickling sensation through her body.

"Sorry Marinette, I can't help it. It is too much fun." The Kwami giggled as she crawled through the hair and sat on top of her head. Before Tikki could speak she caught sight of a peanut butter cookie still in its container sitting on Marinette's desk. Ignoring everything, the creature flew to her delicious prize.

Tikki was one of the best friends Marinette could ever ask for. All the sound and wise advice the small goddess had given her was invaluable. The only person who could compare was her partner Cat Noir. One of four people who could bring a smile to her face whenever she was down.

Marinette sat up in her bed and placed a hand on her chin. "I really need to do something as thanks for the Cat. Our hero anniversary is coming up faster than I would like and I need to do something special for him. That cute cat is always doing something for me." She jumped down the steps of her bed and began walking to her dresser, grabbing her hairbrush. She began to hum a tune while brushing when she froze.

Marinette shook her head and slapped her cheeks gently. She had to get the thought of him being cute, although he was, out of her head and all the other ones that came with it. To get her thoughts on track she rushed over to her computer and looked at the custom background of Adrien, staring lovingly at his beach photo. His hair being blown by the wind, the sun beaming down on his gorgeous face. This one picture was a big reminder of the love she felt for him. Not just the fact he was handsome, but the kindest soul she had ever known.

"Marinette you really need to control your dreams," Tikki said as she sat on top of the monitor. Little bits of cookie crumbs dotted her face. "Last night you woke me up when you kept saying Adrien's name and something about needing more grapes and moving a fan faster. Honestly, you need to keep your Adrien harem under wraps, or you mi-"

"ALRIGHT TIKKI, THAT'S ENOUGH!" Marinette pushed her finger to the mouth of the small god. Her face was completely red. To say that she was embarrassed was an understatement. Tikki talking about her "Adrien Dreams" was not something she was fond of. She lucid dreams about Adrien, so what?

"Marinette, are you ok up there?" Sabine called from the bottom of the stairs leading to the trapdoor of her room.

"Um- everything is just peachy mom! Just… talking to my… purse!" She paused for a second, knowing it was clear when she could hear her mom muttering and walking away. She let out a sigh of relief as the Kwami laughed. Marinette groaned as she went to her closet and grabbed a chic, light blue blouse with white pants. She decided on a pair of gray flats to complete the ensemble. Her hair stayed in their signature ponytails.

"Speaking of Adrien, today is finally the day. Today I am going to confess to him how I feel. We have gotten so close to each other this last year. From spending a lot of time at his house, him spending time here, to the way I have been oh so successfully flirting with him without embarrassing myself, mostly. I feel a special connection to him, which unsurprisingly, was the key to this confession. Plus, being able to fake that confidence when I do flirt has done wonders for me."

Marinette ran down to the bathroom, Tikki at her side as she locked the door behind her.

"Plus a certain fencer may have found something with a certain guitar player." Marinette chuckled at her own plan, ignoring the hard stare she received from Tikki.

"You mean when you locked them in a random room at school and had them talk to each other?" Tikki retorted as she flew in front of the girl.

Marinette internally cringed as she grabbed her toothbrush and began to brush her teeth. It wasn't her finest moment, but she didn't regret it. More than once she had caught Luka gazing at Kagami, giving her the same eyes he once gave Marinette. She couldn't be angry at him. They tried to date before. It just didn't feel right. She loved Luka, but couldn't see herself IN LOVE with him. Kagami on the other hand was a beautiful and amazing person. More than once did she catch Kagami taking a peek at the blue-haired boy when she thought no one was looking. She had seen the interactions between the two and how they instantly clicked. When Kagami had shown the tiniest bit of interest in him she jumped at the chance to get them together.

"Ok, that was super dumb of me. And I let jealousy grip me at that moment. But in my defense, she and Adrien decided to stay only friends which means Kagami was single. I was just...being a wing-woman. Yeah. That's it."

"That's not much better Marinette." Tikki crossed her arms, her eyes conveying the disbelief in them.

"Well, they decided to have a date recently so I call that a win for Kagami."

Marinette rinsed her mouth out with water and quickly checked her face for blemishes. Satisfied with her looks she raced out to her room, eyeing the envelope sitting square in the middle. She picked it up, giving the heart-shaped sticker a big kiss before putting it in her book bag. When she made sure everything was in order she headed to the kitchen, intent on packing an emergency snack for her best friend. As she grabbed a few cereal bars from the cabinet her phone began to ring, the background photo showing Alya and Nino taking a selfie, Nino having a big blush on his face.

"Hello, my best friend~," Marinette said in a singsong tone as she answered the phone.

"Oh, you are awake! That means that you are about to leave from your front door and get to school before the bell rings!" Alya's tone was teasing, and Marinette could tell she was tapping her foot impatiently.

Marinette looked at the time on her phone. 8:50 AM. "Damn it I didn't realize! I'll be there soon!" Marinette hung up the phone and grabbed her purse. She ushered Tikki into the bag and dashed downstairs.

Marinette ran past the bakery counter, yelling a quick goodbye as she left the building. She crossed the street, noticing Alya at the entrance of the school, looking at her phone with a small smile. She wore a Missord frill trim, layered hem, cami dress. Her hair was long and wavy as it reached her lower back, covering most of the skin exposed on her back. True to Alya she wore a white peak of sneakers, though the laces were missing. Marinette approached her best friend, lightly panting as she placed a hand on her shoulder.

"You literally live 2 minutes from the school. You can't always be late." Alya looked up from her phone, pushing her glasses up. "But never mind that now. Adrien is right there~" Alya turned the designer around and made her look at the tall, blonde teenager.

Adrien Agreste, the absolute love of her life. He stood there talking to Chloe and Alix, hair gently being blown by the wind. The God Rays shining on him like an angel. Even his outfit, which was a simple gray t-shirt with black stripes and blue jeans. Even his super casual look was enchanting.

"So you going to go talk to him or do I have to do all the work like always?" Alya asked with a small laugh. She nudged her shoulder against Marienette's, breaking the girl from her trance.

"Actually," The designer suddenly interjected with a smug look on her face. "Yes. Yes, I am. I spent a lot of my free time last night constructing the perfect letter to let Adrien know my true feelings toward him. Signed with my name this time.” Marinette crossed her arms, her smile showing just how confident she felt in this moment.

Alya looked at Marinette, eyes wide and filled to the brim with surprise and pride. This was the exact look that Marinette was hoping for.

Alya shook her head and grabbed her friend by the shoulders and shook her, yelling louder than she should have. "OH MY GOSH, YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG WE HAVE BEEN WAITING!"

Marinette had an inquisitive look on her face as she blinked a few times. "Um, who exactly is we?"

"Oh, you know. Nino, Rose, Kim, literally everyone in this school! I have told you for years to go and talk to him and you never have. I mean there was that time at the wax museum but we don't talk about that." Both girls shuddered at the thought of that embarrassing moment. Vowing to bring it up as little as possible.

“Don't exaggerate Alya. Sure the girls have been rooting for me. But not everyone has been wanting this. Right?" She tilted her head as she said this, raising an eyebrow at the question.

"You are kidding me, right? The guys, your parents, my sisters, my parents, and just about anyone who knows you two.” Alya explained all this while counting with her fingers the number of people invested in this.

Marinette could feel her face go red. Were this many people wanting Adrien and her to be together? Why did they care so much? Marinette didn’t mind seeing people as cute together and wanting them to date if they were compatible, but this seemed a little excessive.

“Alya, you aren’t making some kind of game out of my dating life, are you? You know I love you and I would honestly destroy the moon and flood the Earth for you, but this seems kinda…. creepy.”

Alya rolled her eyes, shaking her head gently before nudging her friend. "Look, you have to go approach him soon before." The warning bell rang and some students began to hurry inside. “That. come one. Let’s get inside.”

Nino was waiting at the stairs leading to the second floor, headphones on and playing with his phone. Missing his signature hat for once and wearing his eye-conic, shirt and cargo shorts. Marinette mentally groaned at the pun she made. Cat Noir would even hate that one, probably.

Nino glanced up from his phones and spotted the girls. He pocketed the device and lowered his headphones around his neck. He leaned in, giving his girlfriend a quick kiss before turning to the shorter girl.

“Sup dudette. You’re looking pretty happy right now. Got some good news or something?” Nino wrapped his arm around Alya’s shoulder, slightly leaning against her.

"Little Miss Confidence here is gonna confess to lover boy over there." Alya pointed to Adrien, who was still engaged in conversation with Chloe.

"About time you did it. The dude won't shut up about you. Swear he has it bad for you girl."

“Wait, Adrien talks about me? In….in what context?” Marinette’s interest was particularly piqued now. She had lost count of the number of times she had talked to Alya about Adrien, but to hear about him talking about her? This was a reality she had never perceived.

“In like every context imaginable. ‘Marinette is so reliable.’ ‘Marinette and I did this.’ ‘This reminds me of this one time Marinette…’ I know you two have become, like, super close but from the way he speaks it sounds like he is in love with you.

Those last words hit Marinette harder than the couple in front of her could think. Her mind went into overdrive of Adrien talking about her, saying sweet things about her behavior and quirks. She stifled back a squeal. Now was not the time to go into freak-out mode. She needed to focus.

Marinette took a deep breath. She needed to do this before class started. She either did this now, with all the confidence she built up for the week, or she wouldn’t do it all. She reached into her bag and grabbed the letter. She clutched the envelope to her chest, her heart beating at a rapid pace. She walked over to Adrien, her eyes never leaving him as she advanced toward him. Adrien then turned around, looking to where Chloe was pointing.

This caused Marinette to have a fleeting moment of panic. Chloe was very unpredictable nowadays. They had buried the hatchet last fall, a moment she never thought would happen. Chloe was now nicer, but still kinda bitchy at times.

Chloe had walked away, giving some half-baked excuse before heading to the locker room. Marinette looked at Adrien, his smiling face making her knees a little weak. But this wasn’t the time to be swooned by his looks. This was the time to get the man of her dreams.

"Adrien, I have something..."

"Marinette, I have something..."

The ground began to shake violently as they spoke at the same time. Some people began to scream and run away from the area. Someone had bumped into Adrien, causing him to fall on Marinette and take her to the ground with him. All her confidence was washed away and had turned into embarrassment. Marinette had opened her eyes, seeing the model hover on top of her. She could feel her face get flushed for a moment, then she saw his hand on her chest. Her face got an even darker shade of red as Adrien unintentionally squeezed as he lifted himself.

Adrien looked down at her, and she wished at that moment she could just disappear. Adrien looked down at his hand, jumping backward and scrambling away from her, his face just as red as hers.

"I'm so sorry Marinette! I didn't mean to do that!” Adrien’s voice cracked as he pleaded with her, his tone nothing but apologetic. He got to his feet, helping the girl to stand.

“It’s ok Adrien. It was an accident. I know that..”

"LADYBUG AND CAT NOIR! SHOW YOURSELVES!" A loud and scratchy voice yelled out. It could have only been one thing.

Marinette looked at Adrien, a stern look on her face.“If you really want forgiveness, then you’ll get somewhere safe and stay there!”

Marinette didn’t wait for Adrien’s response before she dashed out of his sight. She found an empty classroom and shut herself inside. She made sure the close was clear before grabbing her purse.

"That….that was awkward, to say the least." Tikki giggled as she floated in front of Marinette's face.

"Tikki. Adrien touched my… my….you know!"

"It's called a boob."

"I know what it’s called!” Marinette yelled out, slightly flustered.

"Well, at least you didn't slap him and call him a pervert for a complete accident he had no control over." Tikki winked at her chosen who just scoffed and looked down.

"Oh cheer up Marinette. It could be a lot worse. Adrien could have fallen face first!" Tikki couldn't contain her laughter as she wrapped her small arms around her stomach.

"GAH! TIKKI I SAID NO TAINTING YOU." Marinette shook her head rapidly and looked at her. She heard the same yell once more, this time a bit further away. "Tikki we have an Akuma to stop. Now if you would be so kind. Spots on!"

HC that tim and damians sibling relationship is more like death threats to deciding what to eat for dinner in the span of one conversation.

"I hate you so much i hope you die in your sleep"

"Well at least when I'm dead i don't have to see your ugly face"

"ugh I'm kinda hungry tho"

"hey theres this pizza place that just opened up"

"sounds good we should go"

Bruce:

you’re either a millenial or you’re into dilfs

But you’re the wine aunt

To sum it up people who crush on jason remind me of this ex friend named Sophia who gave me trauma

You like to focus on the fact that people say jason likes poetry not the part where he kills people often

Tim

you’ve never met a guy who is equal/ greater than you in terms of intelligence and wasnt a dick about it

hopeless romantic but has never had a boyfriend

you probably also like timothee chalamet or other white boys of the month

You might need to see a therapist idk

Damian

[botherkupo]

This is based on @beebeebombam ‘s body swap au. I took a few liberties so I could keep this as a one-shot, but I recommend checking out all the art that goes with this! (also, i’m sorry I took forever to write this)

Also, a huge thank you to @chatnoirinette for beta-reading. You are wonderful!

So That Just Happened

"Ladybug, look out!"

Chat Noir crashes into her, cradling her close as they hit the ground and roll to a stop. Too bad the misty, blue light still envelopes them.

Her heart lurches, skipping and jumping to her throat. Oh no. Any second she's going to be forced to swap bodies with Chat Noir, just like what happened to all of Switcher's other victims. Sure, it's better that it's him than anyone else since they're in the middle of an akuma battle, but still. This is a disaster!

His green eyes are wide and stare into her own. "Ladybu—"

But it's too late. Liquid ice rushes through her body and everything goes black.

oOo

"Marinette." Something taps her face. "Marinette, wake up."

She groans and slowly opens her eyes. Her own face is peering down at her. Her own giant face.

A shriek escapes her, and she throws her hands up as if to ward the face off, scuttling backwards like a panicked crab. Or at least she tries. Everything feels off, and the big hands holding her up stop her from going anywhere.

"Marinette, please calm down," the giant that has stolen her face says. "It's just me."

"Calm down? How am I supposed to calm down when—" She breaks off, startled by the familiar high-pitched tone of her voice. "Wait …"

She stares at her hands, which are tiny and red. So are her feet. Something twitches on her head, and her heart quickens like the fluttering wings of a hummingbird. Those are antennae. She has antennae and a red body, and she's tiny, and there's a giant Marinette holding her.

"T-Tikki?" she says.

The giant Marinette nods.

Her chest tightens. "Then we really …"

Another nod.

Oh no. Oh no, no, no. She cannot be stuck in her kwami's body. The akuma is probably still out there, which means Tikki has to become Ladybug, but Marinette is the kwami right now, and she doesn't know how to become a magical suit, and—

"Marinette," Tikki says in a soothing tone, "it's okay. There's no need to panic. We'll figure this out."

"But Switcher—"

"Has been defeated."

Marinette blinks. "What?"

"Plagg and I stopped the akuma. I purified it as well."

Two more blinks. "Plagg?"

Tikki grimaces, glancing off to the side. "That's the other thing. See—"

"Sugarcube!"

Adrien walks over.

Adrien.

And he's holding the black cat kwami in his hands.

Marinette's eyes bulge so wide it feels like they're going to pop out. Her jaw drops. The antennae shoot up on her head like exclamation points. "A-A-A—"

"Oh dear," Tikki says. "I was afraid of this."

The sound that escapes Marinette is like a dying wheeze mixed with a screech. It's the air rushing out of a deflating balloon, the ungraceful honk-hiss of a flailing bird. If she'd been standing, she would have slumped to her knees. As it is, she can only open and close her mouth, pointing at Adrien with one tiny red paw.

Adrien. Adrien is Chat Noir.

She has rejected Chat Noir multiple times, because she loves Adrien, who is Chat Noir, who is—

"I think the kid's face broke her," Adrien says with a little cackle.

Marinette makes the wheezing screech again.

Tikki rounds on him. "I thought I told you to wait for my signal."

"I did wait, but we don't have time for you to gently break it to baker girl that her crush is—"

"Adrien," Marinette manages to get out.

His beautiful green eyes fix on her, except the expression in them is all wrong. Not the right softness, not the right sweetness. These eyes hold chaos and secret smiles and far too much amusement.

"You," she says, her hand trembling. "You're not Adrien."

His teeth flash in a grin. "What gave it away? My superior sense of taste? My—"

Tikki elbows him. "Plagg, now is not the time."

Marinette swallows and shifts her gaze to the sleeping kwami cradled in Plagg's hands. "Th-then that means Adrien is …"

"Uh huh," Plagg says. "So now you see our predicament. The akuma has been defeated, the cure used, and we're still stuck in the wrong bodies."

Adrien chooses this moment to wake, sitting up with his little cat ears flicking this way and that. He yawns, baring tiny fangs.

That's Adrien. That tiny cat is Adrien, who is Chat Noir, who is Adrien, who—

"I think she broke again," Plagg observes.

"Stop teasing her. Of course this is going to be a shock."

Adrien blinks, glances up at Plagg, then over to Tikki, then down to Marinette. She's stiff like a statue, but she can almost see the pieces connecting in his head as to why his classmate and friend is holding Ladybug's kwami. His brow wrinkles, his eyes widen, and then a delighted grin splits his face.

"Not just an every-day Ladybug, huh?"

The wheeze-screech once more escapes her lips. This is too much.

oOo

"Okay," Marinette mutters, hidden inside the purse with a few cookies and other necessities. "This is fine, this is fine, this is fine. It's just a dream. It has to be a dream. Any moment I'm gonna wake up and realise how silly this all is."

She forces a laugh, just to see if it'll make her feel better. It doesn't. Instead, the purse swings a bit too far and a cookie hits her in the face. Her nose scrunches. She pats the cookie away, cringing at the sticky touch of melted chocolate. Is this what Tikki has to put up with all the time?

"Stop wriggling," Plagg says from somewhere outside the purse.

"It's your cheese's fault," Adrien grumbles. "It stinks."

"Stinks like heaven, you mean."

"Well, your heaven is trying to kill me."

"Shh." That one is definitely Tikki. "People will notice if you keep talking to your pocket. Here, I'll put Adrien with Marinette."

Marinette stiffens and makes a little meep sound. The purse gets opened and Adrien gets deposited inside without ceremony. Then the clasps click shut, sealing the two of them in together.

Her heart thumps and thumps and thumps.

"So," he says, rubbing the base of his neck, "guess this cat is in the bag."

Wait.

Did he just …

Laughter bubbles free of her lips. "I can't believe you." You dork, she almost adds. Of all the things to say.

His smile is shy but pleased. "Still made you laugh, didn't it?"

"It barely makes sense."

"But you still got it, and—" He breaks off, pressing his lips together with an oops expression, like he knows he almost blurted something he shouldn't.

She tilts her head. "What?"

"It's just … I'm happy to see you laugh."

Her heart skips and stutters. "Oh."

"Because you seemed kind of uncomfortable before." He shoots her a shy glance. "And I just hope it's not because I'm, well, me."

"Oh, Adrien, no. I could never be upset that you're Chat Noir."

His ears perk up. "You're not?"

"No. Not at all. I'm just—"

Madly in love with you. Still struggling to comprehend the fact I've kissed you twice, not to mention rejected you for you.

Also, did I mention I'm super crazily in love with you?

"—I'm just trying to process it all, I guess," she says. "This isn't how I expected our reveal to go."

He leans forward, wiggling his eyebrows. "So you did imagine it?"

Heat explodes on her cheeks. "Wh-what? No. I—no!"

He laughs, which does nothing to cool the blush spreading all over her face. But then his expression turns more pensive. He fidgets with his tail, lowering his gaze.

"I did," he says softly.

"Huh?"

"Imagine it. What it would be like to see each other without the masks."

The drumming beat in her chest gets louder and louder. "Y-you did?"

His gaze flickers to hers, so soft and so very Adrien, even if he is in his kwami's body. "Yeah. I thought about it a lot."

She licks her dry lips. "Wh-what did you imagine?"

"Well, first, we were actually in our own bodies."

She laughs, shy and hushed. He laughs too, which makes her cheeks warm all over again. How is it that he can have this effect on her even when he looks like a tiny cat with whiskers?

His gaze slides back to his hands. "I always wondered who you might be under the mask: whether you were a stranger to me in my civilian life, whether you were closer than I realised." A faint blush blooms on his face. "I … I hoped it would be the latter."

"That part worked out at least."

"Y-yeah," he says with an unsteady laugh. "It did."

The silence that settles is charged with an energy that makes her blood hum and her skin prickle as if touched by an invisible caress.

"What else did you imagine?" she whispers.

"Telling you."

His voice is just as soft, like something fragile might shatter if either of them speak any louder.

"Telling me what?"

Their eyes meet, and her pulse thrums in her ears as he holds her gaze.

"Telling you for real, no mask and no secrets, that I—"

The purse is opened.

"We're here," Tikki announces, gesturing to the bakery.

Marinette tries not to groan in frustration. Just when they were getting to the good part.

oOo

They shut themselves in Marinette's room and, with the help of all the kwamis under her protection, try to figure out a way to undo this mess. Now that she is the guardian, the pressure is on her. The problem is that she has no idea why only the four of them have remained body swapped. Neither do the kwamis. There is much discussion about side effects and kwami magic interference, but it's all so convoluted and technical that it gives her a headache. Trying to decipher the information she received from Master Fu will take forever as well. The whole thing seems hopeless.

"What if we're stuck like this forever?" Marinette wails, resisting the urge to bash her head against the floor. "I can't stay as a kwami. Plus, my parents will never believe that Tikki is me. We'll be exposed in a day!"

Tikki frowns, sitting primly on her knees. "I thought I did quite well at pretending to be you."

"Oh, sure, sure." Marinette forces a smile. "It's just, um … you also kind of …"

"Kind of what?"

"You sounded like you were from the wrong decade, sugarcube," Plagg says, leaning back on his palms and grinning. "Didn't you see her parents giving you odd looks?"

Tikki folds her arms. "I suppose you think you did better job?"

"Naturally."

Adrien purses his lips. "You asked them what cheese-flavoured things they had and bought five of every kind."

Plagg shrugs. "Everyone loves cheese."

"I don't."

"Well, I guess you do now."

Adrien's expression sours even more. "If you eat all that while you're in my body, I will throw your special camembert stash into the Seine."

"Not the special camembert!"

"Don't think I won't do it."

Tikki holds up her hands in an appeasing gesture. "Okay, okay. I think we can safely say that none of us are very good at being each other, so let's just focus on fixing this."

"But none of us know how," Marinette sighs, antennae drooping like sad flower stems. "We're trapped like this."

There's an awkward pause as everyone reflects on the truth of this statement.

"Actually …" Adrien sits up straighter, his brow creased. "There may be one thing we can try."

"What?" Marinette asks. Any suggestions are welcome at this point.

His cheeks darken. "Well, um, you remember that time I was under Dark Cupid's control? You were able to break the magic without using the cure, right?"

Heat crawls up her face. Oh. He's talking about that.

She scratches her cheek, looking off to the side. "Are you suggesting that we k-kiss?"

"I mean it worked then, so it's worth a try, right?"

Her face burns, spreading to the tips of her antennae. Adrien wants to kiss her. Adrien, who is Chat Noir, wants to kiss her.

Okay, she can do this. Just speak like a normal person. Play it cool, play it cool, play it cool. Do not let the reek of desperately and crazily in love and "yes, let's kiss right now" seep through.

"I guess," she says.

Success. Cool points have increased by one.

Adrien shoots her a shy glance. "Then should we …?"

"Yes!"

Damn. That was way too eager. Back to being a dorkasaurus.

Adrien does not seem to mind her explosive eagerness. His blush darkens and he shuffles over on his little kitty paws.

Paws.

That's when it hits her: they are stuck in their kwamis' bodies. This will not be the kiss she has dreamed of, because Adrien looks like a cat thing with whiskers, and she looks like a mousebug, and everyone is staring, and—

"Are they gonna kiss or not?" one the kwamis murmurs.

"Shh. You'll ruin the moment."

"It's already ruined."

"Shh!"

Adrien and Marinette blush, avoiding each other's gaze. This is so awkward.

"Um," he says, glancing at the others. "Could you maybe … turn away?"

Plagg grins and gives an unsubtle wink. "Sure thing, kid."

"Thanks."

Tikki smiles at Marinette and then ushers the other kwamis to give them some privacy.

Okay, that's kind of better. Now Marinette just has to kiss this tiny cat version of Adrien. Not weird at all.

He bites his lip and leans in, pausing when they're an inch apart to check if she's still okay with this. She closes her eyes, puckers up her lips. Gets a whiff of stinky cheese and cat breath.

This is fine, she tells herself. He's still Adrien. Still the boy I love. This is fine.

"Two carrots that they can't do it," Kaalki's voice drifts to them.

"You're on," Fluff says.

A chorus of groans.

"You ruined it again," Pollen complains.

"Just let them have their moment," Wayzz says, clenching his fist like one who has had their greatest treasure snatched from them. "My ship is almost sailing."

Adrien steps back and presses his paws to his face. "They're totally staring at us, aren't they?"

"Yep," Marinette says. "Not even attempting to look away."

They both laugh awkwardly.

He shuffles on his feet, looks down at the floor. "We don't have to do this if you don't want to. I'm sure—"

"Adrien."

"Yeah?"

She steps forward and kisses him on the lips. It's the barest touch, just a little peck, but the warmth humming through her face tells her she'd be redder than an overripe strawberry had she still been in her human body. Good thing Tikki is already red.

He blinks at her slowly, his mouth forming a small O.

Seconds pass.

"Nothing's happening," Kaalki says flatly.

Fluff nudges the horse kwami. "But they still kissed. You owe me two carrots."

A sigh. "Very well."

"Wait!" Pollen says, clapping their hands together. "What if Tikki and Plagg have to kiss as well?"

Tikki and Plagg share a startled glance.

"What?" Tikki says, going bright pink. "M-me and stinky sock? You want us to kiss?"

Wayzz's mouth twitches like he's trying very hard not to smile. "It is worth a try."

"B-but—"

"C'mere, sugarcube."

Plagg grabs Tikki's face, smooshing her cheeks slightly, and plants a kiss right on her lips, complete with a big, wet smooching sound. Marinette's eyes bulge. Adrien holds a paw to his mouth, all wide-eyed and shocked like some sheltered Victorian lady who has seen the forbidden.

"Quick, someone grab a camera!" one of the kwamis says.

Then liquid ice surges through Marinette's body and the world once more goes black.

oOo

"Marinette." Something taps her face. "Marinette, wake up."

She opens her eyes slowly and is greeted by warm green. Adrien's eyes. To the left are Tikki and Plagg, both in their kwami forms and smiling. Behind them are the rest of the kwamis, all peering at her in a mixture of curiosity and amusement.

"It worked?" she asked. "This isn't a dream?"

Adrien takes her hand and helps her to sit up. "It's not a dream."

"Oh, thank goodness!"

She crashes into his chest, hugging him tight. He melts into her without hesitation. It's warm and wonderful, and she is happy to stay like this forever. Then her brain catches up and starts what Alya fondly calls the Marinette Flailfluster Internal Scream, because this is Adrien Agreste, and right now they're in full hug contact, and—

And he's her partner. Her kitty. He's a total goof and makes the silliest puns.

Her shoulders relax. A soft smile curves her lips and she snuggles more into him. Tikki and Plagg soon join in, nuzzling up against their cheeks and laughing. It feels so good to be back to normal.

"Thanks, kitty," Marinette murmurs, pulling back to meet his gaze. "You really saved us."

His smile makes her warm all the way to her toes. "I'm just glad it worked."

Fluttering wings stir in her stomach. Yeah, she is still hopelessly and crazily in love with this boy.

oOo

It's much later when she and Adrien are able to get some privacy on her balcony. The sky is slate grey and has that heavy quality that promises rain, but that doesn't matter. What matters is this quiet moment: the hush that settles, the little shuffle of their feet like a shy tiptoe around each other, the way his arm bumps hers as he leans next to her on the railing. Warm and innocent.

"So …" she says.

"So …"

The corner of her mouth curves. He mirrors the expression, his eyes crinkling.

"I never got a chance to say it earlier," he says, "but I'm happy."

"About what?"

His hand comes to rest over hers. "That it's you. That it's always been you."

Her heart thumps faster.

Something shifts in his gaze and he leans closer, his voice softening as if he's about to share a secret. "Marinette …"

"Yes?"

"I love you."

It's like every bone in her body turns to jelly. She wants to melt, wants to scream, wants to jump up and down in unrestrained joy because this is finally, finally happening. But somehow she manages the restraint to smile and interlace their fingers. "I love you too, Adrien."
