Submitted prompt: Smell Test
Marinette is done. It’s… it’s too much. The Miraculous gives you the attributes of the animal it’s based after, right?
Her fingers are slow and hesitant as they click-clack across the computer, and a quick Google search tells her that cats are repulsed by the scent of lemons and eucalyptus.
And a dig through her drawer tells her that Nana had bought her plenty of perfumes during that period where she didn’t really know who Marinette was as a person.
Now, whenever Chat Noir leans in for a non-consensual kiss, he leaps back and hisses. When his hand is on her shoulder, her wrist, even their classic Pound It!, he quickly flinched back as if burned.
It’s interesting, though, how Adrien is struggling to remain within a five foot radius of Marinette before needing to flee suddenly (a pity, too, because he sits almost right in front of her). And Marinette’s upset about that, but that’s a minor side effect to being free from Chat Noir’s advances, the harassment, the assault, all of it.
She’s a pet owner with a spray bottle, and she’ll keep spritzing until Chat Noir gets the hint.
And as soon as she can handle being around him, she’s taking that ring.
(From the editor: I can’t really vouch for the idea that cats are repelled by citrus or eucalyptus, ours don’t seem to mind and actively try to eat the leaves off my lemon tree when I brought it inside, so let’s just assume that the strength of the smells is too potent and that’s what repelling him)

Submitted Prompt: A wish for Solitude
This is the accessible version of this prompt.
The special-text version can be found here.
- - -
Hi Rjalker, I'm kinda back! So after who knows how long since I wrote my prompt about Serrah, and the show's ending of the fifth season being a dumpster fire like always (actually, even worse than usual, I seriously miss the finales like the ones of the first and second seasons), I decided to write this because... something. I myself aren't sure, but I guess I will just write something different than cosmic entities trying to fix the universe (or doom it because their existence requires the universe's own oblivion) because I'm not planning to rewrite the entire plot of this idiotic show.
I will be honest and say that this is a completely new territory for me, so if you spot mistakes and see something that needs to be changed, please do so.
So, have fun?
Occurs after Strikeback (season 4 finale).
My try at an Akumanette prompt.
Pronouns: lon/lones/lones/loneself (same as she/her/hers/herself)
TW: mention of sexual harassment, and a character experiencing touch revulsion
-----
It was so hard.
It was so hard for her.
Marinette thought as time kept moving too fast, yet it felt like everything was crawling to a halt.
Everything was becoming too hard, too difficult, too unbearable.
It was so painful, dealing with it. Being Marinette. Being Ladybug. Being the Guardian.
"Marinette, how did you forget to go to our planned party?"
Because Ladybug's job is too important than Marinette.
"Marinette, is there something bothering you? I heard you've been skipping classes."
Forgive me mama, papa, I can't schedule for when an Akuma strikes. That's the sacrifice I must make.
"Marinette, cheer up! We will defeat Hawkmoth in the end!"
Yes, Tikki, in the end. And what about my life?
"Marinette, I know that Chloe is a bit too much but..."
I know, Ms. Bustier, I must forgive her, for I am Marinette and I am nice, forgiving, no matter how many times I and others get hurt by her.
"Meowch Bugaboo! You know that you always have me!"
Leave me alone. Don't call me by that. Don't come closer to me. Don't flirt with me. Don't touch me. Don't try to kiss me. Leave. Me. Alone!
"You still are in denial about Adrien, Marinette?"
I didn't want this, Alya. Your question isn't funny. I don't love this. I don't want these feelings. I hate them. I despise them. They were why I lost the other kwamies. Love only hurt me.
"You must be responsible, Marinette!"
It's difficult to be responsible. It hurts to be responsible. I don't like this. It's so painful. So suffocating. So tiring. So dark. So cruel. I don't want more even if I have to take more. I want to be alone. I want to be left alone. Alone. Only alone. No one to nag on me about something. No one to have me deal with their problems. No one to guilt trip me and shame me for not doing what they want.
I want to be alone, with only myself being the only company I need.
"Hello, Solitude. I am Hawkmoth. I will give you the power to be alone, free from responsibility, at the price of giving me the Ladybug and Black Cat miraculouses."
It was so wrong to accept. She knew it. It would be admitting defeat, admitting that evil had won in a way. But why bother? She was so tired. So exhausted of fighting, fighting when everything she tried to do backfired on her.
What's the worst to happen if the accepted? Surely, Alya and that harasser Chat Noir can deal with it. They seemed to never run into real problems or face truly permanant consequences.
Oh how jealous she was.
"Yes, Hawkmoth."
And Marinette ceased to be. ---- When lon opened lones eyes, Solitude felt it, the desire burning from lones being.
"I want to be alone. I don't want anyone else with me."
That was it. Simple, yet clear. To be alone on lones own. Lon only wanted to be alone with loneself. No one to bother lones with anything.
No responsibility, no demands, nothing but simple, and sweet solitude.
Yet it just wasn't so easy.
"What is this?" lones expression looked repulsed.
Something was wrong, something was feeling off.
Solitude's body felt something uncomfortable, disgusting, hateful.
Something that just felt like something was touching lones body. Something that just refused to leave lones alone.
What is this? Lones body feels heavy. Breathing and moving feels difficult.
Nothing was touching Solitude, yet the feeling only grew stronger, the repulsion and hate for this thing that was seemingly crawling all over lones, seemingly invading lones blood and skin only continued.
Solitude hated this. It felt so wrong, so awful, so utterly-
"Marinette!"
A voice screamed as lon saw... a girl closing towards lones. Rose? That was her name, right?
Immediately, lon jumped away, as if burned by her presence, almost screaming and attacking her and the others that came alongside her.
How dare they come so close? How dare they call lones Marinette? How dare they try to touch lones?
"Leave me alone!"
Solitude ignored their pleas to come, to wait for Ladybug to help her, to fix her, to heal her.
There's nothing to heal or fix. Nothing wrong with Solitude. Solitude isn't Marinette. There's no need for Ladybug to heal lones.
The awful feeling seemed to diminish, it wasn't as bad as before. So this sensation of pure disgust relates to lones presence with others? Or when others enter lones comfort zone without permission?
Solitude felt that this was the correct answer.
Then, Solitude might go to a place far away. ---- Lon was on the top of the Eiffel tower for nearly half an hour now.
It was a calm area, and there was no one around lones from what Solitude can feel.
Yet...
The sensation of something surrounding lones body still persisted.
Solitude couldn't comprehend it. Nor did lon like it one bit.
What's going on? Why doesn't this feeling leave lones alone?
Lon could feel it, something was seemingly demanding for lones to do something. Something that Solitude doesn't want to do, and it is getting almost physically painful to deal with.
What is this? Why is this happening? Solitude wanted to be alone. Is that really so much? What is causing this? Who? Why?
Lon would like it if they stop continuously touching and crawling all over lones bod-
"Hello, mademoiselle!"
A voice that feels extremely, horribly familiar resounds, and Solitude feels all sensations go overdrive.
Chat Noir was so close-
So close, too close, that repulsive smirk, that leering look, that uncaring posture, too dirty, too repulsive, too hateful.
Lon hates it. Hates him. Hates that person. He will touch me, he will ignore my boundaries, he will torment me, will not leave me alone.
For just a moment, Marinette's memories resurfaced, and nothing but pure rage and hatred consumed lon vision.
A blast of pure, unbridled energy of repulsion and exclusion consumed the part of the Eiffel tower they were in, practically erasing it from existence, and that hero harasser being thrown away, far away so he couldn't violate lones boundaries anymore.
Solitude's body shook from the sheer disgust lon felt, lones mind already making possible connections to why lon felt so much worse with that guy around.
"Is it because Marinette suffered the most due to him?" Solitude thought in rage.
Is that why? It made sense, right?
But before lon could fully calm down, the sensation returned once more.
Why? Why? Why don't they leave lones alone!?
"Good job, Solitude! You've lured Chat Noir! Now go and take away his miraculous and Ladybug's!"
Lones heart raced with pure rage as Solitude felt the connection linking lones with Hawkmoth.
It's this guy...
Lones eyes seemed to look somewhere, what Solitude felt to be Hawkmoth's direction.
This guy was who was crawling over lones body using that link...
Hate and energy, already twisted due to the corrupted magic, twisted even further as it followed Solitude's desires.
If only he didn't exist... if only he and Chat Noir didn't exist...
Then Solitude would be already happy, alone with nothing bothering lones...
Solitude must destroy them first... And make sure not even a shadow of them remains...
---
End?
Or at least until I might write a sequel.
Hope you liked it.

Submitted prompt: An Immortal Black Cat
Not sure if this counts as a true salt prompt but here it goes(up to author interpretation to prevent Mary-sueing of the OC)(Can drop stuff as wanted)
A previous Black Cat wielder ends up moving to Paris. Thanks to magical related shenanigans(whether or not it was Miraculous related or not is up to the writer), she is immortal, with the appearance of an young teen around the age of the main cast. She is understandably alarmed when the Bubbler incident occurs, and more so when she starts piecing together that Adrien is Chat Noir.
The problem she sees is that she used to be a lot like Chat Noir when she was first starting as a wielder. She harassed her partner to the point that he snapped on her, and their team bond never recovered. She has regretted it since. Later on, she was a Ladybug as well(not particularly skilled but she was decent enough to get the job done.) During this mess, she had to deal with the exact same treatment from her partner, which made her feel even worse about her behavior with her first partner, especially when she had to kill her partner in self defense when she refused his advances one too many times.
After a few more akuma attacks, she quickly becomes alarmed about Chat when she realizes that he’s way too similar to her past self for her to ever be comfortable with, and her mind is worried as this boy could easily end up like her. It gets even worse when she starts realizing that Marinette is Ladybug, and her behavior is sliding from crushing dangerously deep into stalker territory, reminding her of herself and her past Black cat partner way too much.
Only one issue, she doesn’t want to alert anyone she’s present. Only a few councilors know she exists, and she’d like to keep the Council and Order of Guardians from learning of her existence. (She’s been so determined to avoid the Order less they decide to use her for something, she hasn’t been keeping track of them. As a result, she has NO idea that the Order has been wiped out by Feast. Her belief was that they were merely becoming more isolated as the world got more globalized, global threats that needed the Miraculous were dropping and the Council was growing better equpped to deal with those threats. Even if she did have suspicions, she wasn’t about to go to Tibet to check in case they were waiting.)
Well, she decides that she needs to step in, and hopefully steer these two back onto the right path before it gets out of hand. Only issue is doing so without alerting the Council and (Currently destroyed but doesn’t know it or Wang Fu). She also can’t meet with Marinette less she is transformed about Miraculous Magic. The reason is Tikki is too loyal to the Guardians, and she’d likely inform the Guardian about her. She has no such problems with Plagg, as he could care less about telling Fu.
Not sure where else to go from here…we go into Fix it somehow and possible Adrien Pepper if you really want to fix him, same with Marinette if you’re hoping for some Marinette salt and pepper. I’ll add more in the comments if I can figure out how specifically this OC fixes it.
---
Edit by prompter:
Clarification: I forgot to mention this in the prompt. Like in Fairy Tail, there’s a magic council responsible for protecting the world from magical threats and dealing with magic incidents. They’re incognito though as a public organization called the Organization of Magical Occurrences and Affairs, supposedly just as a group to help people cope with any losses or injuries caused by supernatural incidents or for people to report supernatural stuff to someone who won’t laugh them out of the room.
They’re like this as they’ve been persecuted a lot by secular and religious authorities during their history. They also worked with the Guardians before they vanished, but couldn’t ever figure out why they vanished.
