MIRACULOUS FIC RECOMENDATIONS!! (Part 2)

You can find part 1 here.

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

The rules are the same:

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

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

Without further ado...

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

Pairing: Marichat and Adrienette.

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

Chapters: 37/37

TW for mild violence.

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

Need a Lift? again by Boogum.

Pairing: DJWifi

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

Chapters: 1/1

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

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

Pairing: Adrienette

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

or Adrien has a dream about Marinette.

Chapters: 1/1

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

double dare again by peachcitt (I told ya!)

Pairing: Ladrien (with lots of sided ladynoir)

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

“But I wanted to save you,” he says.

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

Chapters: 30/30

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

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

Pairing: Marichat and adrienette

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

Chapters: 1/1

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

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

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

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

Pairing: Adrienette

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

He was so very lucky.

Chapters: 1/1

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

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

Pairing: Adrienette

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

Chapters: 1/1

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

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

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

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

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

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

Chapters: 1/1

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

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

Pairing: Adrienette

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

Let's say Adrien found this sketchbook.

Works: 8 (All are 1/1 chapters)

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

Strenght by 11JJ11.

Pairing: Adrienette

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

Chapters: 1/1

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

Super Fan by Taliax.

Pairing: Ladrien

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

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

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

Chapters: 1/1

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

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

Pairing: Ladrien

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

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

Chapters: 1/1

CW for making out.

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

Laying Down the Rules: The Gabriel Agreste Clauses by LadyKae

Gen

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

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

Chapters: 1/1

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

4am. by hannieks

Pairing: post-reveal lovesquare

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

Chapters: 1/1

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

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

Pairing: Adrienette

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

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

It was just a game...right?

She was ok with it, right?

“Sure,” she lied. “I’m ok with it.”

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

Chapters: 7/?

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

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

Pairing: Adrienette

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

Chapters: 5/?

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

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

im sure you've been asked this before but what are ur top 5 episodes

My top 5 favorite episodes?

Well I did do a top 10 list a bit after season 3 hit. But I think I can update that list now.

This isn't rated on objective goodness, but overall personal enjoyment.

5. Evillustrator

At one point this was my favorite episode of all time. And I still do think it is one of the best episodes of season 1.

But comparing it with other episodes that come out, and that I am viewing objectively, it needed to get bumped down a bit.

I still think this is peak Akuma design. It also has one of the more creative battles on the list. And of course, the Marichat is top tier.

Evillustrator was the first akuma that really demonstrated complexity (and is still one of the most fascinating akumas in the series.

The problem is that they never build on it and Nathaniel’s characterization goes from interesting to non-existent to Jerk to Pandering.

I still go to this episode to cheer me up and remind me of the good times

4. DarkOwl

Having revisited this episode. I can't help but just love it more. It is the best written episode of season 2. It takes someone that was considered a joke and made him the closest akuma to taking down the two heroes. (thats right.) Truth is, I didn't even watch this when it first came out, I had taken a break from the fandom. When I came back and was trying to catch up did I actually SEE this episode. And honestly, if I had seen THIS episode after Captain Hardrock. It might have brought me back into ML earlier.

The set up for the akuma is also pretty fun to watch, especially when it wasn't even malicious. Ladybug and Chat noir wanted to help Mr.Damocles be a hero so he would stop getting hurt.

Of course the internet got involved and mocked him VICIOUSLY. Like I felt legitimately bad for this principal. You can't even really be mad for him WANTING to do good. Its a cliché premise but its executed better then most.

Dark Owl’s design is not as cool or scary as I would like, but it is still pretty good, and when he almost gets the Ladybug miraculous a SECOND TIME. Its interesting.

3. Gang of Secrets

(Spoilers for Season 4 episode 3)

I expected not to like this episode. It has so many things I am not crazy about. Rehashed akumas, Misunderstandings, the cliché friend break up/ make up, and the weight of the world on one’s shoulder’s bit.

I was wrong. The Gang of secrets (the 5 akuma group) were amazingly done. They were coordinated, they had a solid reason for akumatization, they also had such solid chemistry that it made their antics amazing. I Loved watching the fight against them.

Ladybug’s manic state was not played too corny or too subdued. It really made the viewer understand her emotions. Her emotional moment at the theater was something else. This was one of the few times the writers showed just as much as they told. Even without the rant, we could feel Ladybug’s state of mind. We want her to have something to help her ease into things.

This episode also did a lot to correct the issues with season 3 Alya, and I am glad to see it. This was the Alya from Sapotis that Ladybug trusted. Alya breaking free from akumatization (while being akumatized) was so RAW, it was such a good scene and I loved it.

Alya finding out Marinette is Ladybug.

A LOT of people are not fans of that. And I get it. I do.

Some of you wanted Chat noir to find out first. (which I understand because I did as well. Because ‘Us Against the world’. Totally understand. And also Lovesquare stans and shipping goggles)

Some of you wanted Luka to find out first. (It made no canon sense however ya want to twist it. but hey, shipping goggles am I right? Cant say I blame ya.)

Some of you even wanted present Alix (Which I actually was surprised to hear, but it made a lot of sense considering future alix)

I can understand some of the criticism lobbed at this episode. But honestly, watching the series as a whole makes this whole bit make more sense. We do forget that Alya knew marinette longer then Chat noir and Luka.) Alya had helped Marinette in so many ways. Even as the ladyblogger, Alya is someone Marinette trusts and I think thats important. This ALSO causes a lot of potential drama down the road which I will look forward to seeing.

2. Oblivio

It shows Adrien and Marinette at their core, they fall in love in like 10 minutes, and their banter is adorable.

It was a high stakes episode, the only drab thing was the akuma’s design was boring. But it still did a LOT.

Yes, I am shipping trash. But season 4 actually helped me appreciate this episode even more. Its the episode that helped me stick season 3 out till the end. It reminded me WHY I loved the love square so much.

If you need a reminder of WHY Adrien and Marinette are wonderful together. I highly recommend it.

Agent H’s ML Rewatch

Evillustrator (1x02)

Overall Thoughts:

-Okay, was anyone gonna tell me that this was the second episode or was I supposed to just find that out for myself?

-Ooh, the opening scene’s so much fun! But like it has Lady Wifi in it, so...thanks ML production team for already imploding my “watch the show in production order” scheme LOL

-Ah, here the animation settles into the first season trend where it’s simultaneously good and not good. But they absolutely make up for it by making their character emote a lot

-What is on their science class’s blackboard?? They’re learning particles physics??

-Haha, I love when Marinette tackles Alya. Also, in the background of the next shot, Nino is talking to Rose, how cute!

-At Chat Noir’s last pun in the library scene, there’s like a really tiny exasperated groan from Ladybug haha

-The minute Chloe makes a cat pun, you can just see Chat Noir consider for a hot sec retiring cat puns forever.

-There’s a great “Chat Blanc” post discussing how Chat Noir’s bell is a symbol of possession, and in re I must point out that Chloe here angrily flicks his bell to get his attention

-”So you get to be my Ladybug tonight :)” The irony. *Marinette being totally sarcastic*: “Chat Noir and I fighting crime together? Amazing!” THE IRONY. I effin love this show

-I love the moment when they’re trapped and Tikki peaks out but Marinette closes the bag and figure out a solution because ya’ll know I’m dying for the situation when they’re truly trapped and have to transform in front of each other :D

-Ah, Adrien. Tries way too hard to impress Marinette and then immediately the next day finds her so he can see if she liked it (his big eyes and smile kill me). Also, totally bypassing the part where she says he (Adrien) is the most awesome of awesome to focus on the part where she says he (Chat Noir) is awesome. What a precious idiot

Villain (reason, design, power, difficulty, etc):

-Okay, like 80% of akumatizations come from Chloe so I’m just gonna make Chloe-being-a-bully a benchmark of 6/10, and then add in additional factors. Here, it’s Chloe+getting into trouble+having his crush exposed+it’s his birthday, so I vote 6.5/10

-Sleek, got a “French artist” inspiration, surprising color gradients, Evillustrator’s got a great costume (So we all know this is Nathaniel’s design and Gabriel “Bubbler costume” Agreste couldn’t be responsible, right? XD) 7/10

-His power is AWESOME, man! He can basically create anything?? 8/10

-I mean, he doesn’t seem that intimidating, but he leaves them trapped on a sinking boat and that’s terrifying

-Yeah, he’s a tough cookie to beat because he can create anything and his only weakness is lighting. 8/10

Powers/Miraculous (skill/usage, plan, design, etc.):

-Good idea to cataclysm the light, but Evillustrator is too fast for them!

-Her plan is to superball bounce and destroy the lights? Hahaha, typical convoluted plan, Ladybug. A+ and you shoulda gotten an A+ on your physics project just for this. 7/10

Character Moments:

-Ah, introducing more of their classmates and their school life, particularly Chloe (and Sabrina) as a bully and a spoiled brat! Also, totally forgot it was this episode, but we learn about Chloe being a huge fan of Ladybug (and Ladybug totally not having it)

-Marinette being sweet and standing up for justice and not being afraid of Chloe. Way to go, Marinette!! She totally flakes on Sabrina, but to be fair, she’s got that double life thing going on. Then Ladybug getting attitude and leaving after Chloe fangirls around her, smh girl. I appreciate how efficiently they make Marinette multidimensional, allowing her to be right and wrong even within the same episode. Like how many shows do such a good job at creating complex (particularly female) characters 1.5 episodes in?

-The first episode focused on Marinette and others, so its nice to see a focus on Adrien’s personality here. We see a snippet of him and Nino, indicating BFFs. We see him wanting to protect Chloe and do what’s right, but also (rightly so) getting annoyed with her. We see him showing off in front of Marinette as Chat Noir, flirting with her, and then eagerly seeking her approval at the end. Put in the context of the Origins episode, it makes a ton of sense that he’d want a second chance at a first impression with her

-Ooh, we see people referring to Chloe and Marinette as similar twice this episode! This isn’t the last time we’ll see this parallel between them

-Tikki being adorable and later reminding Marinette to get a better control of her emotions (in vain, Tikki, in vain.)

Lovesquare Moments (who and how much I fangirled):

-There’s a lot of Ladynoir development here! We see them working well together, but they’re not perfectly in sync yet, ie, Chat Noir standing around making puns while Ladybug rides the hair dryer (which made me laugh; what a great visual). This is also the first time we see Ladybug and Chat Noir having a disagreement and making up. And one of the few times, in which they don’t work together on the plan (well, at least, that’s what Chat Noir believes) 10/10

-The Marichat here KILLS me, it’s so great and so hilarious. Char Noir going way overboard trying to act cool and impress her, being pleased that she knew he’s a hero, being absolutely impressed and flirting with her when she saves them. And then on the other hand, Marinette completely rolling her eyes and mocking him behind his back and complaining that she’s the one telling him how to save the day. (All indications on how, as Ladynoir, they’re still at the beginning of the relationship: he’s trying too hard and she’s not taking him seriously.) It really does crack me up that Marichat is the sin ship when their canon relationship is that of a 1950s comedic married couple 12/10

-The Adrienette locker scene is so unbelievably cute (and can you believe that this used to be THE locker scene and now we have the even cuter troublemaker locker scene?) Adrien does the shoulder touch, and Marinette can kinda speak to him. Also, Adrien just appearing out of nowhere and her scream is comedy gold. 12/10

Developments in Overarching story:

-Hi, Hawkmoth can control/hurt his akuma victims, WHAT THE HECK??

-If the production order was the release order, it’d be confusing because the first episode, Hawmoth just says bring the Miraculous and shows the respective jewels; this episode doesn’t even show that part. We’d have no idea whether or not he needs those two specifically and why does he need them.

-Hawkmoth says he wants all the Miraculous so he can rule the world. I....am just gonna leave that there

-First time Bugphone and Catphone

-Chat Noir says he doesn’t have nine lives, but that more specifically refers to the fact that he’ll destransform/can’t do anything if his ring is taken

Lesson for Kids:

-I swear the first season has lessons for kids, but I don’t really know if there is one here? I kinda think it’s about how you shouldn’t act bratty or selfish like Chloe (including when Ladybug loses her cool and leaves and how she’s compared to Chloe when she lies to people), but like ehhhh

Endcard:

-Not a traditional end card, but a snapshot of his comic book! I think the comic cover he designed must be a reference to the inspiration and early versions of the show. And I love how the exclamation point is Nathaniel’s signature; appropriate for a quiet kid!

#i love doing this even if no one else cares #as usual my ratings mean shit so take them with a grain of salt #miraculous #miraculous ladybug #ml #ml rewatch #evillustrator #ml season 1 #miraculous season 1 #marinette #chat noir #marichat #ladynoir #chloe #agent h #agent ml rewatch
