4. Marinette’s Totally Foolproof Plan for Getting Rid of That Dumb Cat
Marinette waited for a good two minutes before she followed Chat Noir, just to be safe.
Two minutes was not very long. But maybe being Ladybug had altered her perception of time. Because five minutes was always enough time to take down a supervillain with a random object. And two minutes, it turned out, was plenty of time to break down everything that had happened since she spotted Chat Noir lurking in the shadows of the roof next door.
He’d shown up, again, after she’d practically yelled at him last night.
He’d flirted, as usual. Complimenting her outfit. Bragging about himself. Grinning that tacky grin that would come with a little tooth sparkle in a cartoon.
He was all too eager to bring up the fact that—to her eternal humiliation—she had declared her love to him.
And when she’d left him out there, hoping he’d get bored and go home, he sat on a wooden box for nearly half an hour, waiting for her to come back.
I’m sorry, Marinette. I’m really sorry it has to be this way. I wish it could be different.
I just want you to be happy.
Marinette froze, face hot.
Had that stupid cat actually fallen in love with her?
Again?
“Um, shouldn’t you go after the akuma now?” Tikki asked, hovering at eye level.
“Yeah.” Marinette sucked in a breath and pushed the skylight open. “Tikki, transform me!”

Miraculous Ladybug Fanfic Recs for 2022
As a lot of you know, I read metric butt-ton of Miraculous fanfics, so I wanted to share with you 19 multi-chap fics, and 16 Miraculous one-shots (I just went through all the ones I really wanted to rec people instead of trying to fit a particular number) that I think y’all should take a look at. I tagged people’s tumblr blogs when I knew them, but I may well have missed some, especially if their username was different between AO3 and tumblr. Feel free to tag authors who I missed. Note that I’m only counting fics that were completed in 2022, so no ongoing fics. Enjoy!
Multi-chap fics:
When The Morning Comes by @into-september:
Gabriel Agreste has been unmasked as Hawkmoth, and the girl who was fighting him all these years turns out to be Tom Dupain's daughter. And standing between them is Adrien Agreste with his life in shatters that Tom Dupain has no way of piecing together.
But baking is at least a place to start.
I love how this not only digs into Adrien’s character, but Tom’s as well, especially how both of them have been estranged from their fathers. I haven’t seen that come up much.

Walking That Mile by @nomolosk
Nino and Alya wake up in the wrong bodies. Several things result from this, including, but not limited to, identity reveals and a better understanding of what their respective best friends are going through.
Never knew I needed Nino!Plagg and Alya!Tikki in my life, but there you go XD. It’s not all fun and games though, this is a Hawkmoth Takedown fic as well, and dealing with the effects of that.
---
The Sidekick Conspiracy by @bring-the-storm:
It's common knowledge among the heroes of Paris that their sidekick, the civilian Marinette Dupain-Cheng, is actually secretly their leader, pretending to be a normal girl who just ‘happens’ to show up at battles. Common knowledge to everyone except Marinette. What do you do when you're in the center of a conspiracy that doesn’t actually exist? In which Marinette is confused, Chat has no idea what's going on, Master Fu just wants Marinette to be safe, and everyone is misinterpreting the situation.
This one is just fun! Marinette has no idea she keeps on being given jewelry all of a sudden, and Fu’s frustrated that she won’t actually USE the damn Miraculous already.
---
As the dust settles by @pengirl91:
After Ladybug lost everything and yet her partner stood by her, she realized what she had been trying to lie to herself about for months. She is undoubtedly in love with him. The only problem is that she's terrified of what that could lead to and there's a monumental task ahead of them before it might be safe to act on her feelings for him... more than she already has.
Post Strike Back with my hopes, wishes, and predictions for season 5 as I wait with great impatience. Now complete.
The meat of this story is mostly a SentiAdrien fic. Adrien discovers that Gabriel is Hawkmoth, so Gabriel orders him to stay silent about what he found out, as well as giving orders to help him with plans to obtain the Miraculous he needs. Luckily, he doesn’t know that Adrien is Chat Noir...
---
A Little Fall Of Rain by @funnydoesntlookdruish:
Unable to transform in time, Marinette sacrifices her life to save Adrien from an assassin. With the help of the Kwamis, Adrien is able to bring her back to life, but it comes at a price. One that Adrien alone must pay. Now, Adrien is forced to keep even more secrets. The fact that Marinette is alive and that she has been his Lady all long. More than ever, they must defeat Hawkmoth. Only then can Marinette return to her life.
This one’s pretty angsty, arguably even more on Adrien’s end than Marinette’s. As part of their cover, Adrien has to be injured pretty badly, in ways that couldn’t be reversed if not for magic.
---
Strangely Familiar by @sunfoxfic
Alya Césaire’s life is perfect. Indeed, between the success of the Ladyblog, how well she’s doing in school, and the fact that she’s a superhero who has never bore the weight of a crisis of epic proportions, her life almost couldn’t be better. Almost.
But Alya has always been a go-getter, and so she’ll chase after that perfect life if it kills her. Which is how she ends up rushing to move out of her father’s apartment and in with Marinette, Adrien, and a complete stranger: Nino Lahiffe. And in fact, her life does seem perfect — she and Nino are fast friends. They spend a lot of time together and get to know each other really well.
But in the end, fortunate situations will bear unfortunate truths, and she learns things about herself that aren’t quite comfortable. Like I said, though: Alya has always been a go-getter, and she won’t let new feelings deter her from chasing after her perfect life.
This is the single longest DJWifi-centric fic on AO3 (which is a travesty) and it is GLORIOUS. Alya and Nino are both well fleshed-out here, with their own problems and baggage they’re dealing with, but it’s easier together.
---
final girl by @picayunearts:
Marinette has ninety-nine problems, and the superhero trio of Paris counts for a hundred.
[AU where Marinette follows through on giving up her earrings after Stoneheart, but becomes the Guardian to protect her replacement.]
This is just great. Marinette thinks she failed, but the other heroes wouldn’t agree. And eventually, she gains some confidence in herself as well.
---
Over and Over by @stcrsquad:
Marinette Dupain-Cheng has had the worst day possible. She's failed to confess to Adrien (again), made an embarrassment of herself, and got into a fight with Chat Noir.
Adrien Agreste has had the worst day possible. He is tired of being pushed aside by everyone, including his crime-fighting partner Ladybug.
Luckily, fate (and Bunnyx) works in mysterious ways because they wake up again on the same day. A do-over. Except it keeps happening. Can the two figure out what they need to fix to break the loop, or will they be stuck forever?
Look these two will sit down and has things out even if it takes being stuck in a time loop together to make that happen.
---
When Bunnyx Brings A Baby by @funnydoesntlookdruish:
Marinette thought she was up to any challenge. She was Ladybug after all! But when Bunnyx arrives with a baby in her arms asking her to babysit, Marinette quickly learns that Akuma battles are easy compared to taking care of a baby. A baby that seems to know her and for some strange reason... Adrien?
Anentry in the “Lovesquare has to babysit their future children” genre! This is just adorable. Has an ongoing sequel too.
---
The Call of the Running Tide by @nemaliwrites: 
To escape an arranged marriage, Adrien runs away from home, leaving behind all that he has ever known. In search of easy transportation, he sneaks aboard a ship at the docks. Everything seems like it is going according to plan — until he finds out that the ship belongs to the fierce pirate captain Ladybug.
I’m amazed this isn’t more popular. I mean, Lovesquare pirates!AU, with the Miracuclass as Ladybug’s crew? Come on! 
It mostly has Adrien trying to fit in with the crew, find his way, that sort of thing. Though there is a confrontation with his father at the end.
---
metamorphosis by @peachcitt:
“I was thinking about that time you hated me.” “Why?” "I don’t know." “I didn’t.” “I know.”
or
three years after hawkmoth's defeat, marinette is still trying to figure out her version of normal. there's also sleepovers.
This has been a very popular fic so most people probably at least know of it, even if they haven’t read it themselves, but in case someone out there hasn’t: basically, Chat runs off with the Butterfly and Peacock Miraculouses after Hawkmoth’s defeat and never shows up again, worrying Ladybug sick and making her fear that he died. But then a mysterious new Butterfly Holder starts attacking Paris, only he seems a lot nicer than the last one, more of an Anti-villain than anything...
A Major Test of Strength by @nemaliwrites:
There is only one thing in Paris hated as much as the akumas: Ladybug herself. In an effort to help the Savior of Paris, Adrien winds up on the wrong end of an akuma attack — only to find himself stuck reliving the same day.
With enough time, anyone can be a hero, and as he continues dying over and over, he is forced to confront the idea that these loops may be just as much of a blessing as they are a curse.
This is loosely inspired by “All You Need Is Kill”, but no knowledge of that manga is needed to understand the story. There’s a bit of a mystery element going on as Adrien tries to figure out why he keeps dying even when he takes steps to prevent it, how he keeps coming back, and what the deal is with Ladybug, anyway. 
---
Cataclysm by Lucid:
When Chat Noir uses Cataclysm on an akumatized ring that ends up being his amok, Marinette is left alone to solve the mystery of Hawkmoth's motives and bring back her missing partner.
This Sentiadrien fic does something I haven’t seen really explored before: it delves into what might happen if Adrien had to be recreated after having been destroyed, and the problems that might arise from that attempt. I love when we get to see Adrien’s perspective especially.
---
in case you don’t know me tomorrow by @thelibraryloser:
“We live in a crazy world where pieces of our lives can be erased like they never even happened. I just wanted to memorize this moment so… so I could keep it, if that makes sense.”
Adrien's heart gave a little flutter. She wanted to keep this moment, meeting him. She wanted to keep… him.
“I understand exactly what you mean."
In a world that has created a way to selectively delete memories, no moment is truly safe. So how do you hold on to something when the memory of it is gone? And how do you keep fighting for someone when you're the only one who remembers?
This is a SEVERELY underrated fic. It’s got some shades of “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” in the world, though the plot is very different - the memory erasure ain’t willing. 
Basically, the first few chapters are establishing Adrien’s and Marinette’s romance, and then the rest of the fic is dealing with Gabriel being an absolute DICK and using any means at his disposal to break them apart. It’s fantastic and I highly recommend reading it!
---
Shelltering Others by @rosie-b:
When Ladybug wakes Nino up in the middle of the night to scold him for revealing his identity, he thinks his career as a Miraculous holder is over. But instead, Ladybug gives him the opportunity to prove himself by becoming Chat Noir's confidant and learning his secret identity through a scavenger hunt of sorts. Will Nino pass Ladybug and Chat Noir's test, or will he fail to put the pieces together in time?
Quick disclaimer here: the first chapter looks kinda salty towards Nino, with Ladybug laying into him for revealing his and Alya’s secret identities to Adrien and Marinette. She’s mostly just trying to scare him into taking them seriously, though, since she herself has just proposed that Nino become Chat’s secret-keeper, and he can’t afford to be lackadaisical with that identity. I highly recommend getting through at least chapter 2 of the fic when giving it a shot, because this had some great character development and introspection for Nino, on Chat Noir, Adrien, Ladybug, and himself.

run boy run by tinuviel_tinuviel
Nino was sprawled on the floor of his room with Alya when his phone chimed, in the quiet of a premature autumnal sunset. It was one of those lazy evenings that had become rare lately. Contrary to popular belief, he and Alya could get studying done when in the same room, and he was elbows-deep in late assignments, which meant his phone was on Do Not Disturb, which meant the notification could only have come from one person.
ADRIEN 🐈: cmoe ove rnow ADRIEN 🐈: like riggt now ADRIEN 🐈: plag NINO: that is literally incomprehensible NINO: wait is that you plagg ADRIEN 🐈: mov faster
So this is a “Adrien finds out that his father is Hawkmoth and consults with Nino about what to do” fic, with Nino throwing Hawkmoth off Adrien’s track, though inadvertently at his own expense. Love Nino’s perspective here, and I always enjoy a good Hawkmoth-takedown fic!
---
Restorative Justice by @kasienda:
Chloé has never been a fan of Ms. Bustier’s community building activities. In fact, she detests them. She doesn’t want to learn about the drab boring lives of her peers. And she absolutely can’t stand it when their confessions make her feel things. Feelings that she doesn’t even have names for. But when Adrien unknowingly shares his struggles with his double life, Chloé vows she will do anything to get Ladybug to set things right. Even if it means pissing off the heroine. Chloé was already mad at her anyway.
I ADORE people talking out about what hurt them, with everyone growing to understand each other, and focusing on making recompense rather than just punishment, so this was fantastic. This isn’t all about Chloe either, Marinette, Adrien, Alya, and Nino all get to hash things out with each other as well in a group session, and it’s just really, really nice to read.
---
48 Hours To Make You Love Me by @mysticraven20:
“When did you stop?”
“Stop what, M’Lady?”
“Stop loving me?”
When two heroes miss the minibus for their winter get away with the gang they have no other choice but to make their way to the resort by themselves.
After avoiding their feelings for years, a freak snow storm makes them reconsider more than just whether to carry on driving.
Luckily, they find a quaint little bed and breakfast where suddenly they’re thrown into a situation where their feelings can no longer be held back; but, is it too late?
The interference of an elderly couple after an eavesdropping accident helps both Adrien and Marinette come to terms with their feelings and their actions.
Through movies, hot chocolates and snuggling to keep warm, Marinette wonders if it’s possible to make Adrien love her again, and more so can she do it by the time they need to leave their little sanctuary?
This just has a lot of adorable Adrienette shenanigans, with a fun time travel twist that had me inwardly squealing XD. If you want some Lovesquare fluff, this is a good one.
---
team is a four letter word by @ladyofthenoodle:
Alya didn’t want to come between Ladybug and Chat Noir. But she didn’t want to stop being Rena Rouge either. And if Chat Noir didn’t want to talk to her, then she’d need to find a different way to prove all three of them could be a team.
Her plan unintentionally brings a few secrets to light, which leads to even more secrets coming to light, which leads to... well, Alya is sure it'll all work out eventually.
This is a season 4 fic, with a heavy emphasis on repairing the relationships that were damaged, or could have been damaged, during that season. I love how everyone gets to really feel and react, be hurt and then gain understanding, with a happy ending to cap it off!
One-shots:
hella enchanted by @xiueryn:
Years ago, Marinette's father died and she was left with her awful stepmother. With magic forcing her to obey every command, she lived as a servant and gave up hope. When a man appears, searching for the very fairy that blessed her, Marinette decides to give life one more try. AU.
(a different ella enchanted au.)
Even though it’s a one-shot this one is pretty long, clocking in at over 30k words. Absolutely worth a shot, though. The first third is basically Marinette dealing with being pushed around because of her “blessing”, and the other two-thirds is just some adorable fluff of her and Adrien touring the country together. 
------
Is it cool that you’re in my head? by @bring-the-storm: 
Alya stared at the picture plastered across the homepage of every single tabloid and news site, whispering every curse she could think of under her breath. SHOCKING SECRET ROMANCE BETWEEN LADYBLOGGER AND PARISIAN SUPERVILLAIN REVEALED!!! the headline announced, casually shouting the words she had been dreading for all of Paris to read.
--- Alya had always assumed that someday Paris would discover that she had secretly been kissing their most wanted vigilante, but she had never thought it would happen so soon. As the domino effects of her relationship with Ladybug go spiraling through her life, Alya turns her sights towards the one responsible: the elusive superhero Hawkmoth.
AKA Someone outs Alya and her girlfriend so she retaliates by deciding to take down Hawkmoth
I recommend this to anyone who either A. Loves Alya and wants to see more of her in a starring role, or B., wants to see an AU where Parisians could feasibly believe that Hawkmoth is the good guy, and that Ladybug and Chat Noir are, if not villains, at least reckless. 
----
We’re breaking free (there’s not a star in heaven we can’t reach) by @pauliestorylover:
Wing binding was a symbol of prestige in high society, but Adrien would much rather be born a pauper than be forced to bind his wings for another day. Becoming Chat Noir might be the chance he had been waiting for to break free and gain a taste of the heavens.
Meanwhile, Nino and Marinette were quickly learning the joys of the pastime called ‘hating rich old white men who moonlighted as supervillains’.
Excellent Wingfic here! It’s got some excellent worldbuilding in it. I especially like how it’s customary to exchange feathers with people you’re close to, and put them in particular places on your wings to symbolize what they mean to you, whether they’re friends, family, or lovers. That particular piece of lore is used to great effect in the story.

How Could I Not? by SorryJustAnotherPerson
In fairy tale books, Princesses were saved by nights from ferocious dragons. Those books were not their story, but Rose was happy to flip over a new page with her Juleka every single day.
Many years ago, she was put to this tower by her parents and her kingdom, along with a fire breathing dragon, so she could find her prince charming one day. How foolish for them to not calculate her falling in love with the dragon. I mean seriously.
How could she not?
I love fairy tale type stories, especially fractured fairy tales. And Juleka being a dragon is awesome. This is just a fun and adorable story.
---
Once Upon A Time by kao_rei:
"Humans fear wolves. I mean, we're horrible, sickening creatures, aren't we?" Adrien laughed.
"I don't think so," Marinette muttered. "Well, not anymore when I met you."
Marinette's days are all the same—she puts on her red cape, makes deliveries for her parents' bakery, and goes home to rest before another busy day. Adrien is a wolf-boy who watches her from afar, awaiting the day they finally meet to change their stories.
While falling in love may bring about some challenges, they're willing to fight through them together because they'd never settle for a "the end". They want a "happily ever after", too.
(In which Marinette is Little Red Riding Hood, Adrien is the Wolf, and they fall in love somewhere between deliveries, flower fields, and shiny red apples).
Did I mention I love fairy tale stories? Because I do.
---
(pockets full of) stones by felledstar:
Even though he wants to be “normal” and go to a “normal school” and have friends just like everyone else, Adrien’s discovered that he’s… not very good at it. It isn’t that he’s a superhero in his nonexistent spare time, or that he’s got a job modelling for his father, or that he’s got so many activities that it takes a whole other person to keep track of his schedule. It’s that… he’s always tripping over things that everyone else seems to know that he… just doesn’t know.
First day of school and we already have two lovebirds.
But there are some things that he does know, no matter what anyone else—Nino, Plagg, the entire population of Paris—thinks.
How he feels is one.
Whatever. She’s just a friend. A friend.
He loves Ladybug. Marinette is his friend.
Why doesn’t anyone believe him?
This is an aroace!Adrien story, that digs into the effects of amatonormativity on people. Especially with how the class all assumes that Adrien would be romantically interested in Marinette, and tries to matchmake him and Marinette in order to make both of them happy, much to his frustration. Based on what the class did in Guiltrip, I could see this happening. They love and care about their classmates and want to help them as much as they can, but that doesn’t mean they always know how best to do that.
---
Lady... bird? by @graaythekwami:
“Marinette!” Tikki called, flying towards the small room of water. “Marinette there’s an akuma– we need to transform!”
The parrot’s head popped up, recognizing these words. They were always said when the report came on TV– a routine he had come to know well. Akuma report, we need to transform, and finally–
“Tikki!” The bird cawed happily. “Spots on!”
This story is just hilarious. Tikki ain’t happy afterwards XD
---
I Won’t Let You by @generalluxun
After Gabriel's defeat, two individuals not party to the celebration run into each other, and find each other.
The summary doesn’t give much of an idea of what the fic’s about. Post-Hawkmoth Defeat, Chloe and Felix run into each other at the celebration of Gabriel’s downfall, and vent about their problems. Neither of them think the other one has it too bad - Chloe’s worried about disappearing, since her worth was entirely tied to her family’s prestige and wealth, and being seen as friends to a terrorist is gonna cripple both of those, while Felix is on edge about Ladybug having the Peacock Miraculous, since she has the ability to kill him at a moment’s notice (yes this is a Sentifelix fic). 
They both make each other understand the turmoil the other is going through in extremely visceral ways, showing the other what it’s like to be them, in the circumstances they’re in. I don’t want to spoil what, exactly, they do, but needless to say, it’s worth a read.

don’t you worry child by kopycat_101
Marc and Nathaniel have a good life, married and living together in a cottage in the woods. But they consider having children at some point.
Marc in particular really wants to start a family with his husband. He knows the fey are real, so he goes searching in the woods to find one to strike a deal.
He may get a bit more than he bargained for in the process.
This is based on a tumblr post that’s been going around, which I think a lot of people will recognize as they continue going through the story. That post is credited at the end of the fic, so as not to spoil the plot.

Chat Walker’s Trial by @pearl484-blog
Instead of Catwalker showing up to serve as her new Chat Noir, Ladybug is stunned to find that Chat Noir has returned to her, having "improved" himself by repressing his emotions, memories, and willfulness. Deciding that this will not stand, she organizes her teammates to convince Chat Noir that giving those traits up and becoming the perfect partner was not the right move, but how can she argue against perfection?
Adrien Augreste 2022 entry for the day 23-24 prompt: Swap
This is a really intriguing fic. Instead of becoming Cat Walker in Kuro Neko, Adrien instead runs across a mage who helpfully provides some spells to make him into the “perfect” partner for Ladybug, magically suppressing his emotions and urge to rebel, as well as his memories of being Chat Noir, in order to make sure he doesn’t love her anymore. Ladybug, naturally, is distraught about this, but since Chat did all of this of his own free will, she needs to actually persuade him it was a bad move, which isn’t as easy as it sounds. It’s exquisitely painful at times with the amount of self-hatred Chat has for his previous self, and how the Miracuteam is divided on how bad these changes actually are, since he does seem more focused now - though the holdouts are a lot less on board when they think of someone who’s closer to them going through this process.
---
disconnected by @just-an-ordinary-fan
Lady Wifi believes she might be the only one who does not want to obey Hawkmoth's orders.
When she sees another akuma hesitate in the battle, she finds she might not be entirely alone.
I actually wrote my own fic, Nullius in Verba, based off of this one. It’s short but has an intriguing premise, with all the akumas being transported to this warehouse after the fight’s over, having been basically forced to do Hawkmoth’s bidding. The akumas also don’t seem to remember who they were before, or even that they WERE ordinary people before, which is an interesting twist.
---
Shadow of the Chat by @pearl484-blog
Chat Noir discovers that he has a living Shadow. Unfortunately for him, it is not fond of Ladybug.
Inspired by the prompt: 5 times Character A and B thought they didn’t have anything in common and 1 time they realized how similar they are.
I wrote a fic based on this one and @wackus-bonkus-maximus fic “One Does Not Love Breathing”, basically importing Shadow into odnlb in order to help take down Monarch. It’s called “One Does Not Love Shadows”, btw.
Anyway, I love how this one-shot uses some of Carl Jung’s ideas about everyone having “shadows”; parts of ourselves that we consciously reject or suppress, and using that to get Chat some help. If you’ve ever played a Persona game, this will be familiar to you, as those games are based off of Jung’s ideas as well.

Day 7: Book by @andromeda612
During one of his works, Marc comes across a rather interesting book.
MarcNath AU fic here! Basically Marc is a super powerful warlock, and is brought in to help with the case of a lying witch who apparently caused a lot of problems for people, using her magic to help fool everyone. She’s actually dead by the time the story starts, and everyone’s trying to go back through and figure out what she’s done and why memories surrounding her seem to be foggy. Meanwhile there’s a book she left behind which appears to be sentient, and which Marc’s taken a liking too...
---
Find the Sentimonster by @taketwoinink:
Nino has a lot of conspiracies. He watched one too many mystery movies and now fancies himself a detective. It's not often that he gets the entire class together for an interrogation, but it's never fun. Chloe makes everyone's life miserable and Marinette and Lila never get along.
And this time? Secret sentimonsters in their class? The fate of Paris hanging in the balance?
Mylene doesn't need this stress in her life.
This is based off of an episode of Glitch Techs, so if you’ve seen the show, it might be familiar. I just really enjoyed watching the class trying to puzzle out who the sentimonster spy might be, with all the wild accusations and theories being hurled around, especially knowing the actual truth.
Come Take My Hand by @carelisswriting:
Luka heard his soulmate for the first time when he was ten. All he knows about her is that she likes fencing. It's just a coincidence that Kagami likes fencing, right?
(Lukagami Soulmate AU, written for the Miraculous Ladybug Secret Santa Exchange!)
I’m a sucker for soulmate fics, and this had an interesting take on it, with your soulmate able to hear you thinking only about the thing you’re most passionate about. Loved Kagami’s way of showing Luka she’s his soulmate especially!
---
When Feelings Are Too Big For Words by ClockworkCaptain:
When Luka takes a gig playing for a drag show he's falls hard and fast for the drag queen Buttercup who uses her performances to work through her own emotions. Meanwhile Adrien's been using drag to work through his own emotions and thinks maybe Luka coming back into his life and showing interest might mean a second chance.
Made for @mlsecretsanta 2022
Published on New Year’s Eve, this just barely makes it to the deadline for this list. I’m glad I don’t need to wait a year to talk about it though! One of the issues I tend to have with Luka shipfics, and with Lukadrien especially (though I think Lukanette actually has this problem worse) is how Luka tends to disappear within the fic and the pairing, feeling more like “The Love Interest” than his own person. Not so here! While most of the intrigue surrounds Adrien, I still got the sense of Luka being his own person, not just existing in the fic for Adrien.
 I adored Adrien getting to display an aspect of himself through persona and performance - that does align well with how he approaches Chat Noir -  and overall I just had a lot of fun with this fic!

it's hard to say no to Marinette Dupain Cheng.
AO3
Pairing - Adrinette
Prompt - 'Can't say no'
Summary -
 Her eyes were just so blue and so glittery and the idea of turning down her proposal ("Not a marriage proposal— get your head outta the clouds, kid!") was the equivalent of a dagger to the heart. Not to mention that her adorable, kissable lips were pursed and pouty and all that Adrien wanted to do was get down to his knees and cry because dammit how is she so damn cute!?
First, he should probably answer with something coherent before anyone starts questioning why he was just staring at her.

 Her eyes were just so blue and so glittery and the idea of turning down her proposal ("Not a marriage proposal— get your head outta the clouds, kid!") was the equivalent of a dagger to the heart. Not to mention that her adorable, kissable lips were pursed and pouty and all that Adrien wanted to do was get down to his knees and cry because dammit how is she so damn cute!?
 First, he should probably answer with something coherent before anyone starts questioning why he was just staring at her.
 "O-Of course! I'm more than happy to teach you how to fence. You can ask me anything, Marinette." He answered automatically, the feline within him puffing his chest up in pride when a delighted smile took over her face and her hands bundled up into cute little fists against her chin. Dieu, how could anyone ever even dream of saying 'no' to the Marinette Dupain-Cheng? In his opinion, it should be a crime to deny Marinette of anything but alas, the rest of the world isn't as enlightened as he is. That aside, he couldn't help but be curious about one thing and voiced his question. "If you don't mind me asking, how come you want to start learning now? You can count on me to protect you if it's because of Le Papillon and the Akumas." He almost bit his tongue for how Chat Noir he was suddenly acting but he just couldn't help it.
 She just brings out his charms so naturally.
 "Maybe...maybe I want to protect you, Adrien." Her answer was soft and her blues sucked him right in, rendering him speechless. He was dead. He was doomed. He was a goner.
 And all he could do was gulp audibly with a big, bright red blush.
 She's too cute!!!
 "I can't wait...I MEAN!" He was scrambling for words, his hands animated and his complexion as rosy as his partner's heroic supersuit. "I can't wait to teach you! Not that I can't wait for you to protect me— THOUGH I HOPE YOU'RE NEVER IN DANGER! I! Erm!" Oh Dieu-uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. Can Plagg just come out and turn him into ashes now so that he can stop embarrassing himself!? Surprisingly, Marinette held his hands tenderly and smiled with that sweet, endearing grin that melted his heart.
 "I can't wait either. To learn from you and...to protect you~" Her tone ended with a teasing lilt and all he could do was childishly pout whilst everyone else who was observing them snickered to themselves. Oh, those evil little blue eyes.

it's still july in other parts of the world shhh I'm not late
For @ladynoirjuly 2022, day 21 - chocolate kisses
Read it on AO3
(i didn't beta it so hopefully there aren't too many grammar mistakes 🙈)
─── ·❋· ───
“It’s not that I don’t like dark chocolate,” Chat Noir explained for the third time that evening, gesturing calmly. Ladybug might just be pretending to not believe him, but he wouldn’t let her tease him freely without putting on a fight.
She grabbed a round-shaped chocolate from the small bag resting inches from his crossed-leg, and he suppressed a shiver as he felt the ghost of her hand brush his knee. He truly needed to get a grip—he was way past the age of feeling flustered by that, damnit. “It’s just that I think that milk chocolate tastes better.”
Ladybug let out a hum as she plopped the chocolate into her mouth, her legs swinging above her laying form a little faster as they did each time she ate one. Chat Noir picked a chocolate of his own and imitated her.
It didn’t taste bad. It didn’t taste delicious either. 
He quickly swallowed it.
(if Ladybug snorted, he ignored it.)
Clearing his throat and the after-taste, he readjusted his crossed-legs position, sitting a little straighter, and moving his knee a little further from the treacherous bag that would most certainly soon call Ladybug’s dangerous hand back.
Ladybug’s jaws moved as she took her sweet time to finish melting the chocolate in her mouth, the motion drawing in his eyes. Chat Noir wished, not for the first time that evening (or of his poor lovesick life for that matter), that he would one day reincarnate into a chocolate. Melting inside Ladybug’s mouth sounded like a much more tempting and cocooning fate than melting on the spot from her mere presence on a lone parisian rooftop, while wishing to be a dark round chocolate.
He bet that the inside of her mouth was warm—it was a mouth, afterall—, and soft. Not like he would know.
(well, that wasn’t exactly true, his brain traitorously reminded, he did know; there had been that one evening, on national day a year back, with them a little tipsy, she a little affectionate, and he a little in love, and it had ended with her in his laps with her hands in his hair and her lips on his, and her—
…but they didn’t talk about that.)
“And I think,” Ladybug’s voice pulled him out of the forbidden memory, as per Rule 31 of the List of Things That Never Happened Between Ladybug And Chat Noir, “that you’re a scaredy-cat, and that both milk and dark chocolate taste just as good.”
She looked up at him, smiling sweetly with her head propped on her hand, and grabbed another chocolate to eat, humming an off-key song he still found melodious. 
He scoffed. “You’re a liar, my Lady. Everyone knows that milk chocolate tastes better! And,” he mumbled, “I’m not a scaredy-cat.”
“You’re playing favouritism, Chatounet,” he rolled his eyes at the teasing nickname, “that’s not pretty and it’s very unhero-like.”
He scowled. “But it’s much sweeter! Don’t you prefer sweet and nice things?”
“You’re sounding awfully bitter for someone who pretends to prefer what’s sweet, Chaton,” Ladybug smiled wide, rolling on her back and (be still, his heart,) fluttering her eyelashes.
“And you’re sounding awfully rude for someone who eats chocolate daily,” he crossed his arms.
Ladybug sat up with a giggle, and he fell in love right then and there all over again. 
Twenty-one, and he was still at her mercy. All she needed to do was giggling, even if it was at his expense. He had stupidly thought once, a couple of years back, that he was over it. All he’d needed to be proven wrong had been this exact giggle, beautiful and lovely and Ladybug, after he’d told her a joke, and he knew. Her laugh had long since created the flaw in his immune system when it came to loving her, and he was forever cursed to succumb to her charms. He had then accepted that he was a lost cause, but the reminder always made him feel kind of pathetic.
She scooted closer to him, her knee brushing his (hadn’t he known better, he would have sworn she did it deliberately), and grabbed his hand to play with his ring and fingers as she often did. He watched as she massaged his hand, then pulled on his fingers one by one, before going back to massaging.
“Lots of dark chocolates are sweet, you know,” she told him, bouncing his hand from one of hers to the other this time. “Depending on the brand, or on how dark you pick your chocolate, some are sweeter than others.”
“Maybe, but,” Chat Noir said as she switched to drawing meticulous lines in his hand, “milk chocolate is still sweeter, and therefore, better.”
“And that’s why you gotta appreciate both equally,” Ladybug grinned, “because it makes the chocolate experience more diverse!” 
He pouted, because he was a mature cat. It made her giggle some more. She ruffled his hair affectionately. “Chatooon, I’m sorry there weren’t any milk chocolates left at the shop tonight.”
“What kind of chocolate shop doesn’t have milk chocolate left?” he whined.
She placed a feather kiss to the back of his hand (be still, his heart), and squeezed it. “I’ll make it up to you,” she told him, looking up in his eyes so softly he couldn’t doubt her words for a second. “Next time, I’ll find a shop that still has milk chocolate left. Even if it’s stupid because dark chocolate is just as good.”
“You don’t have to,” he hurried to say. But thank you. Also, that’s a lie and deep down, you know it, Buguinette.”
She shook her head with a tsk, and (disappointingly) dropped his hand to grab a chocolate from the bag.
“Say ‘aah’, Chaton,” she smiled, the lights of the city dancing on her left cheek just right, and making her eyes sparkle so brightly that he briefly wondered if all the happiness from the people of Paris wasn’t also being reflected in them. She was hypnotising, and he could only do whatever she asked of him. 
Dutifully, he opened his mouth. She delicately grabbed his chin, and pressed the chocolate to his tongue. She gently closed his mouth for him, and he might have died a little inside at the tenderness she displayed in her actions. 
He felt her eyes as he sort of chewed on the sweet. He hoped he was chewing okay and in a somewhat normal way—it would be embarrassing if he didn’t. He wasn’t as meticulous nor thorough as she was to completely melt it in his mouth, but he didn’t like tasting the strong bitterness for too long.
“So?” she said expectantly after a few seconds, “sweet, right?”
“Hm, shure, a shittle bit, bush not ash mush ash mishk chosholate,” he said between two bites.
She must have been set on torturing his poor heart tonight, because she giggled, again. He swallowed with a gulp. “You’re too stubborn. But, unfortunately for your poor kitty’s willpower, not as much as I am.”
Well. Didn’t he know it, and didn’t he love it?
She reached for his collar, pulling his necklace out from underneath his suit, where she knew it was hidden. He watched as she fiddled with the kwagatama and the two rings resting at the end of the chain.
“You know….” she started slowly, not looking away from his pendants, “I could prove to you that dark chocolate can be…sweeter…than milk chocolate.”
Chat Noir raised a brow. “And how are you going to do that, my Lady? It sounds like a challenge close to impossible to achieve.”
She bit hard on her lower lip. “I might have an idea.”
He hummed. “What kind of idea?”
“You’ll see.” She raised her eyes to his, bright and full of stars. “So? What do you say, Chaton?”
He tapped a finger to his lips. “What prize do you want, if you somehow manage to win, which by the way, I doubt?”
She blew a chuckle. “I’ll tell you when I do.”
He hummed again. “And what will be mine?”
She stayed silent for a few seconds, looking at him intently, almost shyly. “Anything,” she finally whispered, still searching his eyes, a lovely blush taking over her cheeks. “Anything you want.”
Chat Noir blew out a breath. Anything, she said. Anything he wanted.
But ‘anything’ never really meant anything, when what he wanted was what he knew she couldn’t give. ‘Anything’ made him vulnerable, because he could never really ask for what he longed for the most, unless he wanted to risk scaring her away. He knew from experience that her love wasn’t something he simply could ask for and be granted with at will.
Anything else, really, would have been preferable to ‘anything’ as a prize.
Chat Noir took the time to search her eyes, taking in the nervousness he could see in them and the blush still colouring her cheeks. What did she want him to want? Was it the same—could it be what he actually wanted? He didn’t dare to hope, but alas, his heart had always had a mind of its own. 
“Okay,” he eventually breathed. “I’ll tell you when we get there,” so he could still have time to think and be smart about it.
She nodded almost imperceptibly, took a deep breath, and plopped a chocolate into her mouth.
She held up a finger, signaling for him to wait. He watched as she focused on —he assumed— melting once again the chocolate into her mouth. She closed her eyes as she swallowed, and when she reopened them, they held newfound determination. His heartbeat sped up.
She slid her hands on his shoulders; climbed onto his laps; pressed her body to his. He forgot to breath because surely she wasn’t going to—
…but suddenly, her face was close, so close to his, and Chat Noir didn’t have to process what was going on and what was she doing—
“The taste lasts longer,” Ladybug whispered, her lips so infinitely close to his that he could smell the faint hint of chocolate from her breath.
“Uh?” he said, in the only tone he could really say anything at that moment: dumbly.
“When you melt the chocolate in your mouth,” she explained, but he understood nothing at all, “it makes the taste last longer.”
Chat Noir gulped. “I…yeah?”  The tremble in his voice was the least of his concern considering he managed to emit a sound at all.
Ladybug’s hands felt like feathers as they slid from his shoulders to his neck up to the sides of his face. She touched her forehead to his, and Chat Noir was pretty sure he completely lost the ability to breath this time.
“Are you…are you okay if I…?” Ladybug breathed against his mouth, brushing her lips against his ever so slightly.
If he’d had a voice, Chat Noir would have screamed that yes, of course he was okay, why did she even ask, would have begged her to please press her lips to his and take as much from him as she wanted. Instead, he must have nodded because not a second later, Ladybug lips were on his and she was kissing him. 
Chat Noir’s brain attempted to reboot three times and gave up on the fourth, when he felt her fingers tangling in his hair, and his lower lips being taken by hers.
He tried to kiss her back, afraid she’d stop if he stayed paralysed dumb for too long. His hands settled on her hips, drawing circles with his thumbs, and she must have enjoyed it because he felt her pressing closer to him, and he had to take a sharp intake of breath as to not pass out from feeling her this close. He considered pinching himself to make sure that no, he wasn’t dreaming, and yes, Ladybug was apparently very much willing to kiss him, but he refrained if only so he could keep his hands on her.
He had completely forgotten the hows and whys he had gotten lucky enough to land himself with Ladybug in this situation. The reminder came when he felt Ladybug sliding her tongue against his lips so he would open his mouth to let it in, to let it slide alongside his: that’s when he registered the taste she carried. Dark chocolate suddenly became his favourite, for he was in Ladybug’s arms while she made a complete mess out of him. Chat Noir idly wondered if kissing someone to taste chocolate wasn’t a little gross; but then, Ladybug hummed against his lips, and he decided that nothing about his situation was even close to ‘gross’. He whimpered, helpless against the onslaught of all she was pouring out to him: he felt her affection, her want, her love, everything he’s ever dreamed to receive from her, and he made sure to give it all back to her with just as much dedication. 
Maybe, just maybe, Chat Noir thought as he felt Ladybug’s hands roam in his hair, neck, shoulders, chest, and arms, she too was a little in love with him. Because surely she must have known that he must have gotten a good taste of chocolate by now, yet she was still pressing her lips to his, sucking on his lower one at times as he drowned under her ministrations. While Chat Noir would be damned if he was the one to pull away from her, Ladybug didn’t seem to want to stop either, and the realisation made him feel like he was floating amongst the clouds above their heads. Every time he thought that she was about to pull away from him, she came back with renewed passion.
He dared to bring her closer to him, to which she let out another delightful sound that had him shivering from head to toes.
Eventually, Ladybug slowed her pace, settling on leaving a few slow kisses on his mouth. When she stopped, she stayed close to him, and rested her forehead against his, breathing heavily. 
Chat Noir took his time to open his eyes, only to find himself lost in hers.
“S-so,” Ladybug whispered, panting, and Chat Noir was relieved to hear she was still just as out of breath as he was, “d-do you…do you agree? With me? That…that dark chocolate can be sweeter?”
He chuckled quietly, still unsure to believe what had happened just yet. Her finger brushed his swollen lips, the tenderness of the gesture a testimony it indeed happened. “Yeah,” he blew, “y-you were completely right, my Lady. Sweet. It—it’s very sweet. M-mindblowingly sweet, even.”
She nuzzled his hand. He couldn’t even remember how nor when it had ended up on her cheek. “G-good. I’m…I’m glad,” she smiled.
Chat Noir inhaled a few times, still catching his breath. “S-so…Wha-what do you want?” he managed to ask. “For your prize?”
She laughed, kissing softly his palm, then trailed a path of kisses down till the inside of his wrist, and oh, god, he loved her, she was too much, she was way too much for his heart, she was—
“You,” she said, making him both fall from high and soar. “I want you. All of you. If you’ll have me, too.”
He took her face in both his hands and gave her one long, slow kiss on the lips. “My prize,” he told her, “it would have been you, too.”
Ladybug’s smile was one of the most beautiful he’d ever seen on her. “I was hoping it would be.”
And so Chat Noir let her take him, take him, take him.

do you know any fics where marinette and adrien immediately know each other's identities? like, a reveal happens at stoneheart/origins or something like that because I've only seen two (three but that one wasn't focused on it) fics do it (also, sorry for always asking you about this but you're the only ml account I know that answers :|)
That is a common trope, I feel like I’ve seen a bunch but I haven’t read fics in a while so. I’m gonna let others offer some Recs

I've read SO MANY fanfictions and I still can't believe that after so many of them abusing their power (in the good way) in giving aged up Adrien abs, I never got to read a scene where he takes off his shirt in gym class or when he's modeling and his innocent face like "what?" while everyone is staring like "dude.... 😫😫😫🥵🥵🥵🥵" but now I realize it's not possible to write that scene unless you want to kill off Marinette and she is usually needed for fanfics.

I’ve been working on this fanfic for quite awhile and I’m super excited to finally share the first chapter!!!!

Ladybug has never quite understood why Chat Noir and his sidekicks, Ryuko and Carapace, were so set on defending Hawkmoth and his akumas. After all, with her unbeatable team of Rena Rouge and Viperion they had to give up eventually.
It never really occurred to her that they may not have had a choice.
Adrien is desperate. Far worse than Ladybug and her team's attacks are the punishments of Hawkmoth every time they fail. And he will do anything to get his friends out alive- even if it costs him everything.
AKA How Anarka ended up sort of adopting a trio of traumatized supervillains

My friend make random fanfic of soqueline And Félix fathom. I just can't stop of laught
-they are a few years older-
Felix was a super gifted genius, already graduated, British and vile. He was so so bad, that when he walks and enters a place out of nowhere it starts to sound Lacrimosa of mozart.
But Soqueline couldn't help but be in love with him. Because if there was something greater than Felix's evil, that was his d***
Luka: Adrien, stop writing weird fanfics about your cousin with the girl who cosplays as Ladybug
Adrien: You take the fun out of life.
Actually Adrien forced Nino, Felix and Luka to accompany him to a convention. There Soqueline, LB cosplayer, met Felix and tried to hit on him. But she fails and then Adrien star to ship them.
Tumblr media
All Credit of my friend miss sugar Pink I love the random fics and headcanons that we made hahaha.

(weredad, but longer)
Chapter summary:
Tumblr media
3. Girl Repellent
For the first time maybe ever, Adrien did not want to go to school.
He wasn’t sure he could handle it today. The whispering. The speculation. The gossip. (Apparently, Marinette and Chat Noir already had a couple name—“Marichat.” Which sort of made him want to use his aqua powerup and go live in the ocean forever, never to be seen again.)
He did not think he could sit through another lunch hour of Nino doing terrible impressions of Chat Noir asking Marinette out (“Marinette, you are the purr-tiest baker girl I’ve ever seen. Will you paw-lease do me the honor of being my girl-fur-end? You batter not say no or you’ll totally bake my heart. Meow, meow, meow.”) And he definitely didn’t want to hear more of Nino’s theories about what the girls were talking about without them. (“I bet Marinette’s telling Alya about their first kiss. Wait … do you think Chat Noir kisses like a person or a cat? Like, would he lick her face? Or bite her?”)
Frankly, he wanted to die just thinking about it.

sometimes ladybug can be an idiot.
AO3
Pairing - Ladrien, Adrinette + Marichat
Prompt - 'Purr Purr'
Summary -
'Do all blond boys purr and get cuddly?'
Ladybug sputtered internally, face composed and arms full of one blushy, cuddly (and apparently) purring Adrien Agreste as she leapt from building to building in order to take him to safety. His chest continued to literally rumble like her partner's namesake, vibrating hard enough to make her own chest shake along with his whilst the top of his golden hair rubbed itself under her chin in pure delight. As if he found the key to the highest of the seven heavens and paying zero attention to how the heroine had to perform daredevil-like acrobatics and parkour just to keep him safe.
Like an ignorant little cat.

 'Do all blond boys purr and get cuddly?'
 Ladybug sputtered internally, face composed and arms full of one blushy, cuddly (and apparently) purring Adrien Agreste as she leapt from building to building in order to take him to safety. His chest continued to literally rumble like her partner's namesake, vibrating hard enough to make her own chest shake along with his whilst the top of his golden hair rubbed itself under her chin in pure delight. As if he found the key to the highest of the seven heavens and paying zero attention to how the heroine had to perform daredevil-like acrobatics and parkour just to keep him safe.
Like an ignorant little cat.
 The latest Akuma of the day was after him and wouldn't settle for anything less other than ripping the model apart limb from limb or skewering him with his villainous sword and using him as a makeshift javelin so that he could shoot the poor teen all the way to the moon. In fact, Ladybug would have been quite impressed with the Akuma's creative yet morbid threats that spilt out of his feral mouth had they not been directed towards the love of her life. He was determined to turn her purring future husband— ehem, her purring very good friend into a sheesh kebab.
 And why, you may ask?
Rewind to thirty minutes earlier.  An upperclassman at collège Françoise Dupont had been crushing on Marinette Dupain-Cheng for quite a while; often paying a visit to her parents' boulangerie and buying way too many pastries just to get a glimpse of her at the cashier, sticking around at the front of the school steps in the morning till the bell rings just to see her dart into the building in a rush and even making sure to sit at a table in the cafeteria that was closest to the one she was at during lunch just so he could watch her in his peripheral vision.
 Deaf to all of his peers' warnings and paying no mind to a single word they said ("You don't even know if she's single!", "Not a good idea dude...", "Bro, give up!"), he soon mustered up all of his courage and everything to finally, finally ask her out.
 In front of everyone.
 .
 The apple of his eye, whilst slightly flattered by his grand declaration (or so he thought), was also really uncomfortable and incredibly confused. She politely declined much to the upperclassman's dismay so of course he had to keep insisting and make her change her mind! Just because she's saying "no" doesn't mean that she really means it— she could be playing hard to get like all girls usually do, right!?
 Plus, how is he supposed to win her over if she doesn't give him a chance? He's cool, good-looking, older and has moderately good grades! Sure, she has no idea who he is but this is why it's more of a reason for her to agree and go out with him because how else will they get to know each other? All of his exes also said that he's a very good kisser (after much prodding and whining from his side every time they weren't feeling up for a kiss during the times they were together) so surely, once he gets Marinette to go on the date with him and he kisses her goodnight, she'll fall madly in love with him too, right???
 He just couldn't see why anyone would turn him down!
 However, all of a sudden, Adrien FUCKING Agreste appeared.
 .
 Not only did that evil little brat give him such an intimidating glare that it sent paralysing fear down the upperclassman's spine but he also had the balls to grab Marinette in his arms and envelope her tiny frame within!? All whilst glaring at him!?!? (He was only a few centimetres shorter than the upperclassman too so why is this blondie allowed to be so scary!?)  And the cherry on top???
 The way that Marinette stared up at Adrien with literal pink heart eyes and wearing the most adorable blush he'd ever seen, as if she belonged in that stupid model's embrace. He swore, SWORE to all the Gods and ancient powers he could ever think of that he saw Adrien Stupid-greste smirk triumphantly when Marinette relaxed and hid her face into his chest with a quiet squeal! So obviously that was more than enough of a reasoning for the upperclassman to get akumatised and gut the golden-haired stinking cat, right?!
And soon, he succumbed to the smooth, seductive voice belonging to the notorious villain and didn't waste any time to accept his offer of supernatural power in exchange for the miraculous of Ladybug and Chat Noir.
Present  Too caught up in her thoughts, Ladybug didn't catch the happy mumblings from the teen in her arms who continued to act like he was forever stuck in bliss and ecstasy and was practically cuddling her.
 "Hehhe~ mine ♡ My Lady, my Marinette, mine ♡♡♡ I love you, I love you, I love you~ we're so getting married and will have a million babies and live on an island together with a pet hamster~!" 
 Ladybug continued to stay wrapped up in her thoughts even after she successfully put Adrien in a safe place, was joined by her beloved Chat Noir and when they instantly took down the Akuma at record-breaking speed. She managed to clock how similar Adrien's and Chat Noir's behaviours were when compared together and yet all she concluded in her insanely intelligent brain was that it was just a 'blond-haired, green-eyed boy' sort of thing.
 Oh well.
 At least the upperclassman will finally leave her alone. For now? She has to deal with her purring, giggly partner whose arms are practically glued around her waist like the lovesick kitten he is. At least her Chaton is the cutest thing ever. And if anyone saw her pressing lots of kisses on his fluffy head— shush.
OMAKE
 "Months! You knew that I was Ladybug for months and you didn't tell me?" Marinette scolded the big black and yellow puddle of happy goop on her lap, her arms crossed and eyes narrowed whilst he continued to watch her with those big, glittery greens of his that made it absolutely impossible to stay mad at him. Even his belt tail curved itself into the shape of a heart from time to time before deciding to wrap itself around her ankle as if it were an extension of her partner's feelings.
 Technically, she wasn't as mad as she wanted to sound but dammit, she had to teach her silly Chaton a lesson!
 "Actually, I'd say I've known for over half a year now, ma Princesse," He leaned up from her lap with a mischievous smile and quickly pecked her nose to get her to blush just the way he liked it. Dieu, he wanted to kiss her so badly on the lips. Judging by the way she bloomed in a brighter pink colour, she must have realised his wishful intentions.
 "H-Hey! Bad Chaton! Keep your lips to yourself!" Her flustered stutter only worsened mid-sentence, unconsciously melting into the leather-clad hand that lovingly cupped the side of her face.
 Dammit.
 "But I love giving you kisses~" He flashed her his iconic kitten eyes, faux ears drooping and brows furrowed. "I can't let a single second go without making My Lady feel loved, non?" He pressed a couple more kisses on her cheek, each getting closer and closer to her lips. "Besides...I feel like from now on, I should wear some lipstick and kiss you all over so that no more annoying boys will pester you for a date when I'm right there. Hmmph."
 "What do you mean when you're right there— " And then, and finally fucking then, everything clicked for Marinette Dupain-Cheng and the two blond-haired, green-eyed purring boys in her life turned into one. "ADRIEN!?!??!"
 Bisou.

very late for the ask game but i simply must hear about Untitled Document
Heh, here's where I regret not numbering them. So I guess I'll tell you about both of them!
Untitled Document #1 is a little chat-type convo between Alya, Marinette, Nino, and Adrien, set in the Miraculous Truman Show AU by RaspberryCatapult. Mainly because I couldn't stand the idea of Alya and Nino knowing exactly what's going on and not doing their best to support their best buds.
Snippet:
Alya: (holds up her phone in recording mode) Okay, it's What If time! Marinette! What If... you could say one thing to Ladybug? What would it be?
Marinette: (looks frozen for a second before getting a thoughtful look) I guess... I'd say, "Doing what you do every day, it looks really hard. I'm glad you have a partner to back you up, and I hope you tell him you appreciate him. Oh! And also, don't be afraid to ask for help sometimes?" ... yeah.
Alya: (turning the camera back to herself) Alright, solid advice, *could've* been a little more supportive, but hey, that's what more friends are for!
(turns the camera on Adrien, who looks a little flushed) What about you, Adrien? Famous teen model, I bet you know a little about dealing with daily pressures... what would you say to Ladybug if you had the chance?
Adrien: (gets a starry-eyed look) I guess I would say, "You've already done so much for us, and you deserve every praise, but... I know that sometimes things can get overwhelming. I hope that you have someone you can lean on when that happens, even if it's not someone we would expect."
Nino: (sticking his head into frame, throwing a thumbs up) I'd say, "You totally got this, Ladydude! Uh, I mean Ladybug! We're all behind you, one-hundred percent! And if you ever need some cool jams while you and Chat Noir are on patrol, just hit me up! DJShelly at YouTube dot com!"

Untitled Document #2 is a silly little drabble that only exists because I really wanted Chat Noir to say "Princess, you got some 'splainin' to do!" like in I Love Lucy.
Snippet:
Apparently the kwamis had decided to throw all her careful rules out of the proverbial window… because Chat Noir was sitting cross-legged on her chaise wearing a hat and shawl made of kwamis and a very disappointed expression. The crossed arms were just the final blow to her stillborn hope of a reprieve. Still, she had to try.
“Chat Noir! And… and kwamis? Oh dear. Where-where did they all come from?” she asked, nervously tapping her fingertips together.
Chat’s disappointed expression soured into full-on frown. To give them credit the kwamis, once they had achieved maximum mischief, could read a room. They scattered. But not, as Marinette half hoped, either up to her balcony, or down into the downstairs bathroom, which shared part of floor as its ceiling. Either option would have given her at least something of an out- she could have later claimed that she’d been careless with the box and the kwamis had decided to investigate all the bakeries in Paris while Ladybug was on patrol… 
But no- they dove for the false sewing box and vanished into it, further cementing that they all lived here. In Marinette’s room. Marinette squeezed her eyes shut, shoulders hunched and tensed as she waited for the inevitable storm.
“Princess… you got some ‘splainin’ to do,” Chat Noir said, in a truly atrocious imitation of an Italian accent.
