Sparks Fly

Chat Noir x OC//Chapter One

I was up and ready for school by 7:30 am, checking off the last box on my checklist for the morning, but I felt like something was missing...

"Mari are you up?" My mom called from downstairs. I checked myself in the mirror once again before grabbing my school bag and walking downstairs.

"¡Si, mama! I'm already ready to go!"

"So early? We don't need to leave for another forty-five minutes, sweetie"

"Yeah, but besides the fact that I feel like I should be up early as America's schools start so early, I mean it's seriously a great idea to start school at 8:45 rather than 7:45 but anyway, it gives me more time to watch Wakfu!" I set my book bag on the floor.

"Wakfu?"

"Yeah!" I start pouring cereal into my bowl, then milk "I've taken it upon myself to watch more French animation since we live here now, and though I've watched a lot of anime Wakfu is practically an anime and besides that it's really good, so yes, Wakfu!" I continued rambling as I ate my breakfast. "I only just started the second season recently but it's still really good so far! Here, I'll show you" I brought my breakfast to the living room and turned on the tv, ready to put on Wakfu.

"Mari, I'd love to but I still need to get ready for work, okay? Go on without me, just don't spill anything on the couch!" She heads upstairs to finish getting ready in her room, and I continue watching Wakfu where I left off.

. . .

'Holy shit, this school is huge! How did my parents pay for this?' I think, stepping out of the car, looking up at the huge private school before me, François Dupont High School. It looked fancy as all hell. I see students flooding in, but I turn back to face mama in the car when she calls my name.

"Just let me know if you need anything, okay?" She gives me a soft smile, and I throw up a thumbs up in return.

After taking a few deep breaths, I walk inside the building, looking at the sheet I wrote for myself of my locker and class number. Finding my locker was easy enough for me, but finding my class number was the hard part. I feel like the school is bigger on the inside. After a while of wandering around I had walked past at least a dozen classrooms, none of them the one I was assigned to. Five minutes until class starts, and I feel like the ticking of the clocks in this building are growing louder, making my heart beat just as loud, and faster with every passing second. I feel my stomach tying itself into knots as I speed-walk down the halls faster, trying to find the room.

"Hey, um, are you lost?" Some girl said as she touched my shoulder, almost making me jump out of my skin. I came face to face with a girl with short navy hair in pigtails, and bluebell eyes. She's tall, but everyone is tall compared to my 5' 2" self.

"Oh, yeah actually. I'm trying to find this room number" I show her the room number on my sheet.

She smiles, "I'm actually in the same class as you! Follow me," I do as she says and follow behind her into our classroom, the teacher greeting us and taking down my name, telling me that my seat is next to the guy with the red hair in the back of the class, saying his name was Nathaniel.

"I'm surprised people actually transfer this late into the year. I'm Nathaniel, as I'm sure our teacher told you. What's your name?" He asked, giving me a light smile.

"I'm Mari, and I mean, it's not that late into the school year, it's only October 13th" I reply. Sure, I transferred almost two months into the school year, but its better than, like, transferring three months into the school.

"I don't know, I still think that's a while..." He mutters; he then pulls out his sketchbook and a red mechanical pencil that matches his dyed hair exactly. I look around the room, two minutes until class starts and there's still a few stragglers left coming in the classroom. I see a few people looking at me, then talking with their friends. My stomach ache worsens, are they talking about me?

I didn't realize I was zoning out until I heard my teacher, Miss Bustier, say my name.

"...and we have a new student! Care to say hello to the class, um, Mar- Mari...? Sorry, I don't want to pronounce it wrong." She gives me a soft smile.

"Just Mari is fine. Hi." I give a small wave to my class, some other saying 'hi' in response. I'm just lucky that this teacher has enough sense to not make me answer stupid questions about myself like where I'm from or my favorite movie. I get shudders thinking about first class introductions back at my old school.

"Okay class, today we're starting off with..." Miss Bustier starts, but I drone her out as my mind wanders.

. . .

The bell rings, snapping me out of another daydream. It's already time for lunch, and I stop by my locker on the way to drop off my textbooks I got in class today. I grab my lunch bag while I'm there, and was about to close my locker when someone shuts it for me, my fingers almost being caught underneath the locker door.

"What the?" I say a bit too loudly, the girl that shut my locker getting in my face. Her bright blond hair practically blinding me and the horrid amount of perfume she bathed in causing me a headache.

"Hey, new girl, I just wanted to give you a heads up," She inches a bit closer to me, her face uncomfortably close to mine "Adrien and I are totally dating, so don't think about getting close to him, okay?" She's not really asking a question, but staring at me like I need to answer.

"Um, who's Adrien? And who are you for that matter?" I ask, taking a step back. It's only now I see a girl with red hair and classes right behind her, mimicking the blond girl. They both scoff at me.

"Excuse me? I'm Chloe Bourgeois, my daddy is the mayor! As for Adrien, he's my boyfriend and only the most handsome model in our class!" The blond girl explains.

"But Chloe... Isn't Adrien the only model in whole school?" The red haired girl quietly asks her.

Chloe gasps, offended, sticking her hand out in front of the other girl's face, "You've lost all your talking privileges, Sabrina!"

"But-"

"Nope!" Chloe says, and Sabrina pouts.

I don't need to keep watching Chloe treating Sabrina like her maid, "See you later" I walk away, towards the cafeteria.

"No one walks away from the Chloe Bourgeois!" She yells at me from across the room before I leave the locker room, but I try my best to ignore her. Once in the cafeteria I manage to find an empty table to sit at, putting on some headphones to listen to some cool music, and pull out my lunch - last night's leftover empanadas and ropa vieja, always a delicious combination. When I take a bite, I sigh at the overwhelming deliciousness of the food.

'I have to take up cooking lessons from mama sometime, really' I think, she's a natural born cook. A few minutes into eating lunch I look up at two girls I recognize from class standing across from me, one of them being the blue haired girl that helped me find our classroom earlier; I take off my headphones.

"Hey, we were wondering if we could sit with you, if that's okay?" the brown-ombré haired girl asked.

I nodded, "Yeah, if you want to" They both gave me a smile and sat next to each other across from me.

"I'm Marinette, by the way! Sorry I forgot to introduce myself earlier haha" Marinette says, picking up her utensil to eat her school lunch.

"It's no worries Marinette" I respond.

"And I'm Alya, but enough about me, can I get an interview with you?" Alya whips out a small notebook with brightly colored sticky notes poking out from the sides.

"Huh? What for?" I ask.

"For the school blog, of course! We don't have a school paper so I thought I'd create a blog instead, covering anything from big school events to small stuff, like opinions on stuff like the winter ball, or new students that I'm sure everyone is curious about, etcetera etcetera. So, is that okay?"

I think for a moment before responding, it doesn't seem like a bad idea, "Sure, I don't mind"

Alya's face lights up with a big smile, clicking her pen and grasping her notebook, "Full name?"

"Maricielo Belmonte"

"Where are you from?"

"I'm originally from Mexico, but I've lived in the United States pretty much my entire life up until a month ago" I answer. I notice Marinette watching the interview like it was a television show, invested in every answer I give Alya.

"Wow! What made your family move to Paris?"

"My mom got a major promotion and my dad is originally from here, so that's why we came specifically to Paris"

"Hmm, interesting," Alya mutters, before closing her notebook "I'll ask you more questions tomorrow when I come up with more, okay?"

I nod, "That sounds good to me" I get back to eating my food, continuing to demolish the ropa vieja.

After a bit of more talking on and off with the two, I notice Chloe across the room, giving me a side eye before continuing to eat her lunch. Marinette and Alya look back to see who I'm looking at, and when they notice it's Chloe they roll their eyes.

"Why was Chloe staring at you like that?" Marinette asks.

"I don't know, she's pressed about nothing. She demanded me to stay away from Adrien because she's dating him or something"

"She said that?" Marinette looks back at Chloe, then back at me, and groaned "They're not dating, she's just possessive because she likes him but he doesn't like her that way because they've been childhood friends since forever."

"That doesn't explain why she's psycho about it though"

"Rose says it's because Chloe's mom left her"

"Hmm."

. . .

"So, how was your first day at school, Mari?" Mama asked as I walked through the door.

I took off my shoes, "Pretty good, I think I made a friend"

"Oh, that's good! You can tell me all about it when your dad comes home" she says, sitting down on the sofa with rice cooking on the stove. I go up to my room to unpack my things, and just started working on my first assignment when I'm disrupted by my mom.

"Mari, ¡ven aqui!"

"What?"

"Just come here!"

"What for?" I shouted with no response. I sighed and walked downstairs to see my mom watching tv.

"This is crazy..." she muttered. I looked at the tv, seeing two people, probably teenagers by the looks of them, fighting this guy in a robot suit claiming he was a cop, wanting to bring certain people to justice.

"I didn't think you were into superhero shows, mama"

"That's because this isn't a show; this is live news, Mari"

I gasp, staring at the tv as I continue to watch the two fight the cop, struggling every now and then as they find their rhythm. Maybe they were still new at this? I sit down next to my mom as we watch the two heroes defeat the villain Rogercop. My mom cheers for the hero's victory but I just continue watching the tv.

"Ladybug and Chat Noir have done it again! We can't be more grateful for our heroes saving the day from Hawkmoth once again!" The newswoman says as the camera gets a close up of the two heroes smiling and waving before running off in opposite directions.

Honestly, the two heroes seem cool, trying their best to save the day. I can't help but admire the two, the way that they got more in sync during the battle, their powers, it all seemed so cool. They don't seem scared either, even though they look like they're my age. If I were in their position, I'd hate being a hero. I'd have a constant stomach ache just being in that position. I laugh at the thought of a world where I was a hero, and I head back to my room.

corgi caught

I don't know why I made this but I liked this draw too much, first one has normal pipy and the second one there's an furtive pipy or a winter pipy, the thing is that both are inspired by corgis, Cardigan and Pembroke respectively

[zoe-oneesama]

I think some of us need a quick guide to the angel au thingy, lol. A little help with that?

If you're asking about what the Original Angelic Layer is, I went into great description here, but as a quick summary:

In Angelic Layer (which , it is a fighting tournament style game. A player (known as a Deus) buys, crafts, and designs a controlled doll (called an Angel) and with a tele-link headset, the Angel is controlled by the Deus’ thoughts. They fight other angels in one on one fights to become a champion. 

So in an MLxAL Au, the Deus’ would be the civilians (Marinette, Adrien, Alya, etc) and the Angels would be their hero selves (Ladybug, Chat Noir, Rena Rouge) or akuma selves (Volpina, Mr. Pigeon, Stormy Weather etc) if they don't have a hero one.

I'm currently in the writing process for the AU as well as character design. Each chapter is character focused (like written from their POV) so while Marinette and Adrien are the main character/Misaki replacements, everyone will get at least one chapter of focus (though important characters will get more). Unfortunately that's where the writing has slowed down for me, especially since not every character is in love with the game.

Romance will probably very minimal despite both Marinette and Adrien having aliases while they play for in story reasons, though I've already written in some flirtation in their first meeting. It wasn't super prominent in the original manga (and I hated what they did with it in the original anime) which is why it's not currently heavy on my mind, but I wager if there IS a ship it's still Adrien x Marinette.

For some "fanfic" search tags: Lila will be a bad guy here, as well as Chloe. Neither will reach the level that they did in canon since they don't have magic and their bullying is all within the context of the game. Chloe will def come out better on the other side but not Lila. And since this is a No Magic AU, parental figures will be controlling but no where near the level of canon, so there's a trajectory for reconciliation in this AU.

I understand this is not a super popular IP and not everyone will go in having much lore knowledge on Angelic Layer, so I will be doing the work to explain the world and game appropriately as things come up lol. It won't be like SL where you probably need to watch original episodes to fill in gaps since the ALAU is going to exist in essentially an entirely new universe sans Miraculouses.

Masterpost of Finished Fanfics, Current WIPs and Future WIPs

Everything listed here is a (mostly) fully formed story with at least some kind of plot going on. I have many, many story concepts in my head that could turn into actual stories, but for the moment, these are the fully formed ones that are most prominently bopping around in my head. 

Current Work in Progress (CWIP) = The story I am currently posting or working on as my main wip.

Future Work in Progress (FWIP) = The story I hope to work on next.

I will be separating these by fandom under the cut.

Dadneto/XMCU

1. Pictures In My Head [Currently being updated weekly]: Erik arrives at the school for the first time since he left after X-Men Apocalypse. Peter struggles with becoming comfortable around his father and with the idea of telling him that he’s his son. Also there’s a new Brotherhood that’s formed in the meantime.  2. We don’t talk about Erik (FWIP): Loosely based on Encanto’s “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” song. Not a songfic. It takes a look at Peter and Wanda and their relationship with the concept of their father when they were young. Featuring a much bigger Maximoff family with uncles, aunts and cousins.  3. Untitled Dadneto fanfics: Three different fanfics, each focusing on Peter, Wanda and Lorna and their relationships with Erik. Set in the far future where Peter is married to Crystal and Luna is 5 years old.  4. you’re the one I wanna go through time with (CrySilver Romance): A prequel to the above three fanfics focusing on Peter and Crystal’s relationship going from their initial meetings to their marriage and having Luna. It also includes Wanda’s introduction into the XMCU. (Disclaimer: Crystal is much different than her comic book counterpart, and Wanda is not MCU Wanda, she is my own character more based of her comics version.) 5. Untitled Lorna and Peter fanfic: When Lorna shows up at the mansion revealing that Erik is her father, Peter is shocked to find someone in the same situation as him and is glad to have a sister again. Will Lorna be able to convince him to also come clean to Erik? Focuses a lot on Lorna and Peter’s relationship. Wanda is dead rip 6. Untitled First Class AU: What if Erik knew about Peter and Wanda and had to babysit them for a day at the mansion while the X-Men are training in First Class? 7. Father and Son: A Dadneto Anthology: This is just a bunch of Dadneto reveals. I have so many different ideas for reveals and I figured I could just put them all in one place since not all of them have turned into fully fledged fanfics.

Miraculous Ladybug

1. The Color of Your Eyes [COMPLETED]: Marinette writes a letter about her date with Adrien to Chat Noir late at night. A songfic. Originally posted on my main blog. 2. A Kitten for Chat Noir: Chat Noir feels lonely and finds himself bonding with an abandoned kitten one snowy night.  3. 20 Questions: Ladybug and Chat Noir decide to reveal their identities and start by playing 20 questions. 

Marvel Comics

I do have another sideblog @just-a-local-lunatic​ where I will be posting most of these first since that is my Marvel Comics sideblog, but I will be reblogging them here.

1. Untitled FrankLuna series: All of the fics listed below are part of this story. Basically it is a long series that will follow Franklin Richards and Luna Maximoff and how they develop and fall in love. 2. Kidnapped...Again [COMPLETED]: Franklin Richards and Luna Maximoff get kidnapped...again. Posted originally on my FrankLuna sideblog.  3. Of Siblings and Sea Monsters: When the Fantastic Four are taken by a sea monster, Franklin and Valeria must enlist the help of Namor the Sub-Mariner.  4. Home Alone: Franklin, Valeria and the Future Foundation get left home alone. Disaster strikes. Obviously.  5. Of Latveria and Libraries: Franklin and his first crush, Sara Jessen, do a school report on Latverian history. 

Miscellaneous

1. burning stars: A Narnia/Silver Chair fanfic about Prince Rilian adjusting to life after being rescued by Jill and Eustace and learning how to live and love again.  2. Untitled Jeyna fanfic: A story where Reyna fights Death to get Jason back from the Underworld based on the concepts of myth of Alcestis.  3. Untitled Post TROS Reylo fanfic : Rey goes on a long quest to find a way to bring Ben Solo, the other half of her soul, back to life. Along the way she makes new friends and runs into old ones. Not a retcon of The Rise of Skywalker, mainly canon compliant.  4. In Which Megan Comes To Ingary: Set in the Howl’s Moving Castle book universe and set after the third book, House of Many Ways. About Megan and Howl’s relationship, their past and their future as siblings. Also a bit of mystery around who their father was. 

Side Note:

I also have a writing account on Instagram where I write my original stories if you’re interested. Here is a link for it. And here is a link to my AO3. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So if there is a certain story you’d like to ask me about or that you’d like me to write next, please use the ask box! I would love to hear from you!

With all that done, currently, I am in the process of posting pictures in my head and working on drafting We Don’t Talk About Erik.  

[naviaknell777]

Started writing my Chat Noir x OC fic book thing and I’m starting chapter 7 now 👀

Needed to take a break from requests with a lot of things going on in my life recently so I decided to start this fic. Maybe will start posting the chapters soon???? Will anyone read it? Lol

[libertydraws]

Alright, so I've been off the internet for a few days because I was reading a fanfic (unsurprisingly), and it's a popular Boboiboy x Boku No Hero Academia fanfic (Elemental Hero), and it's so good but I'm so sad that it's still a WIP and it's been a year since it had a new chapter.

Anyway, I'm not that sad about it (kidding, I'm depressed), but I can't help but think of other crossovers for Boboiboy after reading it.

Obviously, I've thought about a crossover between BBB and RC9GN. It's an interesting concept actually, and it works well in my head. But recently, I've been thinking of a different series other than RC9GN that would be a cool x-over for BBB.

Miraculous Ladybug

Listen, I already said before that I don't really like MLB (I used to be a fan, but ehh-), but that's because of how it is written. It is so poorly executed that I just gave up on it, I like to look at the fandom's works more than the canon series at this point. I like the concept and potential the story that Miraculous has, and I think it's being wasted on.

That is one of the reasons why I love imagining a crossover between BBB and MLB. Like, seriously, I know that BBB is a pretty obscure show, and isn't as well-known as MLB, but I really thought there'd be more crossovers of them??? Wouldn't it be an awesome idea for Marinette, Adrien, and co. to enter the BBB universe? Or even the Kokotiam gang to enter the MLB universe? With plenty of villains on both universes, there'd be plenty of writing potential for these two shows together.

Personally, since I'm in the BBB fandom atm, I've been daydreaming thinking of a story where it's the Koko gang that somehow ends up in the MLB universe (thanks to the many amounts of crossover fics and that Elemental Hero fic I've read, I've thought of a way how they got there + it's easier to think of how they got there than how MLB characters would in the BBB universe). They have to find out how to get back to their world, while trying to fit in in Paris so they don't attract too much attention. The latter obviously fails when villains appear and, like the heroes they are, tries to save the day, but they bump into the local heroes of this world: Ladybug and Chat Noir (with additional other heroes depending on the timeline of MLB). Weird shenanigans ensues and the gang escapes from being questioned by the two heroes.

Now, Ladybug and Chat Noir are on the hunt to find the 5 weird people who had powers (just like them, but somehow more different), the gang tries to find someone who can help them find a way back home, and ofc, Hawkmoth (or Shadowmoth or Monarch, idk when this takes place in MLB honestly) takes a liking to these weird, new comers and tries to take advantage of them. And a new (or old?) threat appears from Boboiboy's world (somehow, idk) and tries to form an alliance with Gabriel so that they can both get what they want.

How will the Kokotiam Gang get home? What will Marinette and Adrien do to find those weird people with powers? Once they find them, what then? Will Gabriel be able to get the Miraculouses now that he has a bigger threat? Who would the mysterious villain from BBB's universe be? And will Marinette still be pining over Adrien like in the original series?

That last question, if I were to write this, then I wouldn't do that. I seriously hate writing romance, and Marinette pining over Adrien in almost every episode is boring. So, romance wouldn't be the main focus of the story.

But for the rest of those questions? Honestly, idk. I don't have the motivation to make this into an actual story. I still plan on writing RC9GN: Ninja Watchception once I get the motivation to write again.

Though, it is nice to dream.

Tags: Tim Drake/Marinette Dupain-Cheng, Original Character, fluff & Shenanigans, no plot & no update schedule

Work Summary: Both Tim Drake and Marinette Dupain-Cheng are incredibly successful and busy people. Two people who both view coffee as their lifeblood. When they find themselves needing each other to obtain ultimate coffee rights at their favorite cafe, two total strangers become allies. And friends. And perhaps eventually… something more.

Chapter Summary: Marinette finds that her normal day goes 0 to 100 (more of a 70, really) very fast. She certainly didn’t expect this to be the outcome of visiting her new favorite cafe…

Read below the Keep Reading!

Marinette was having the very rare kind of day one would consider “normal”. Or, as normal as a former child soldier/superheroine and the current Guardian of the Chinese zodiac’s Muraculi could have whilst living in the cesspool that is Gotham.

It was simultaneously relaxing and unnerving.

She’d had a tremendously productive day. It started with her actually getting up and out of bed at a respectable time, followed by a virtual meeting with Jagged and Penny to discuss his latest commissions. 

For the past several hours she’d been answering emails and sketching some basic concepts to pitch to Jagged. It wasn’t until very late into the evening that she realized she had, one, not eaten yet, and two, not had coffee yet.

In fact if not for Tikki gently reminding her that despite the fever dream that was her life she was still human and needed to eat, she wouldn’t have realized at all. 

Blinking at the clock that hung above the desk in her office, she realized it was already past eight at night and frowned. “When-” Marinette started.

The tiny floating red deity just giggled. “You were in your work trance silly,” Tikki said, patting her chosen on the head. “You really should eat something though.”

Marinette stretches in her chair and nods. “Food does sound good,” she mumbles, closing her eyes. “Oh!-” she exclaims, eyes flying open. “Why don’t we go to the cafe?”

Tikki moves so she’s floating in front of her chosen, her big dark blue eyes sparkle as the kwami smiles. “You just want to go because Skye will let you have the reaaalllyy caffeinated drinks now.”

Smiling sheepishly, Marinette replies, “Maybe. But you can’t deny they have a good chicken wrap!”

Tikki simply fondly shakes her head as Marinette gets out of her chair and grabs her phone.

“Tikki, can you let the other kwamis know we’re heading out while I grab my stuff? I think most of them are in the kitchen and living room.”

As Tikki zips across the room and towards the kitchen, Marinette hears the kwami reply, “Sure thing Mari!” before phasing through the wall.

It’s not long before Marinette enters Carrie’s Cafe and Bistro. She was immediately greeted by the smell of coffee and a warm welcome from Skye, who was currently working the register.

“Hey Mari, welcome back! What can I get for ya?” Skye asks, a smile accompanying their cheerful demeanor.

While the friendliness wasn’t out of place for Skye, they had an unusual excitement about them. Something about the way they were smiling was almost ‘Chat Noir right before he starts some shenanigans’ in nature.

Marinette shook off the thought, however. She smiled back at Skye, answering, “I’ll take a chicken wrap, a chocolate chip cookie, and a chocolate eclair, please. And um, the most caffeinated Skye Special you have if you don’t mind.”

Skye’s smile gains a tone of playful malice as they push the card reader closer to Marinette.

“Why of course I wouldn’t mind. I’ll ignore the fact you didn’t say the ™ in Skye Special™, but only cause you’re new to this whole system here,” Skye teases.

As Marinette inserts her card into the card reader and enters her pin, Skye continues.

“Though I’m glad you remembered the whole ‘must order at least one item from the menu’ part of the deal. Can’t just be giving away free coffee, Carrie would kill me. And it’s not like I can charge you for it either, y’know?”

Skye hands Marinette the receipt, and soon the fashion designer once again finds herself thrown into a work frenzy on one of the cafe’s sofas. Something about the place just seemed to calm her down and clear her head.

Or maybe it was the fact she had finally eaten and was sipping a truckload of caffeine. But who’s to say?

Not long into her visit to the cafe, she hears the front door open and Skye greeting a customer. A quick glance away from her sketchbook and laptop reveal a very tired-looking man in his early to mid-twenties.

His hair was black and slightly wavy, and despite the fact he was wearing sweats and a crewneck Marinette could still tell he had an impressive build. Not that she was looking. * ahem *

However, it was only a few moments later that Marinette found herself looking up at the very person she had been staring at just a few moments ago.

He simply stood there, and with how severe his eyebags are (seriously, they’re bad enough to rival her own) Marinette was half convinced he’d fallen asleep standing up with his eyes open.

She simply waited for the stranger to say something since he was the one to walk up to her , but before she could ask if he needed anything, he said, “Um, hey, sorry to disturb you but there’s something I kind of need to talk to you about. Mind if I sit?”

Marinette blinks up at him, and it takes a few seconds for his request to process. She gives a nervous glance towards Skye, who’s still hanging out behind the register, and receives a smile and thumbs up from the barista.

She hesitantly answers, “Uhh, sure,” throwing Skye another sideways glance while the stranger sits down.

“So-“ he begins. “Skye told me you passed The Coffee Trials. Which is great, congrats! But um, not sure if you’re aware of this, Skye only serves one Skye Special™ per shift. And-“

The stranger pauses again to stare down at Marinette’s drink, which was sitting on the coffee table in front of them.

“You kinda stole my drink.”

All Marinette can think to say back is, “Who are you?”

She watches as the stranger goes through visible phases of shock, confusion, and finally, acceptance.

“Oh. Oops. Well hi, my name’s Tim, it’s nice to meet you,” he says, awkwardly offering a handshake which Marinette slowly accepts.

At the sound of a muffled groan, the two turn their heads just in time to catch Skye facepalming and shaking her head.

Skye simply tells them, “Ignore me. And also Tim’s awkwardness.”

“Ok then. Hi, I’m Marinette. What’s this about stealing your drink?” she asks, quirking an eyebrow.

Tim runs a hand through his hair and collapses against the couch. “Skye’s given me, well both of us, I guess, a bit of a choice. I’m guessing from my experience with her, she’s either going to have things stay the same, or have us follow through on her little plan. 

They’re an impossible person to bribe or bargain with, and once they've got an idea for shenanigans in their head, hell would sooner freeze over than if they don't enact those plans.”

Narrowing her eyes, Marinette snatches her coffee off the table and takes a sip. “Does this ultimatum, because that's what this sounds like, an ultimatum, have the power to revoke my coffee privileges?”

Grimacing, Tim nods. “Short answer, yes. Since only one Skye Special™ is allowed per shift, it’s first come first serve between the two of us. And I guess Carrie, but she doesn’t usually stop by during Skye’s shift so she’s a bit of an outlier.”

“Wait-“ Marinette starts. “So what’s the other option? Skye is either going to keep it how it is, or…?

Rubbing at the back of his neck with one hand and nervously tugging at the collar of his crew neck with the other, Tim’s eyes darted towards Skye.

“About that. I actually have no clue. She basically sent me over here so I could drag you back to the register. They said they would only tell me their ‘proposition’ if both of us came over to her.”

Marinette sighed. She knew something was up with Skye today. Looking back over to Tim she asks with a deadpan expression, “How much do you wanna bet she has a dramatic speech planned?”

Tim smirks. “Five bucks says she’ll have visuals to really drive home the point.”

If it weren’t for the informality of the situation, Marinette would’ve found herself embarrassed by the snort she let out at Tim’s statement.

Closing her laptop and stuffing it along with her sketchbook into her bag, Marinette stands. “Let’s go see if you win that five bucks.”

As they approach, Skye’s smile widens. “Ah, I knew you were capable of simple tasks, Timmy my boy. Not that there was ever any doubt.”

Tim scoffs and playfully shoves the barista, causing her to let out an incredulous ‘Hey!’

Once the two settle in front of Skye, the latter breaks into a smirk. “So, assuming this doofus-“ Skye says, jerking their thumb at Tim, “Has filled you in, Nettie, who’d like to hear my oh so generous, proposition, shall we say?”

With Marinette’s insistence to go on and Tim’s nod, Skye situates herself so she’s once again sitting on the counter, legs swung over the side.

“I’m cutting you both off.” The sentence is short, said without a hint of hesitation, and Skye tells them with such conviction the decision seems ironclad.

It’s so devastatingly inconceivable the five words make both Marinette and Tim’s hearts drop to their stomachs and disintegrate in the acid there.

The two stand there dumbfounded for a few seconds, processing. It’s only broken when Tim’s hands, previously shaking, fly to his hair raking through it while a strangled gargle claws its way out of his throat. It’s soon followed by the small pitiful whimpers falling from Marinette’s lips. His hysterical and frantic cry of, “WHAT?!” overlaps with Marinette’s desperate pleas.

“Don’t worry,” Skye assures, holding up her hands in a placating manner. “I’m not fully cutting you off.”

With that piece of information, both their shoulders sag in relief, and their eyes lose the panicked wild looks they were holding.

“Oh thank fuck !” Tim exclaims. “Don’t fucking scare me like that Skye.”

Marinette, who shares similar sentiments, add, “You little shit. There is a very small amount of topics you do not make jokes like that about with me. Coffee is very high on that list.”

Skye just smiles cheekily. “Sorry, I couldn't help it. Playing devil’s advocate is the epitome of devious chaos.”

“Also, maybe not be the best way to phrase it, but the statement was still true. I am cutting you off. From Skye Specials™ only though. From now on, unless you can accomplish the task I will see before you two, you’re banned from Skye Specials™.”

Tim's jaw hangs open, and Marinette’s brows are furrowed, lips pursed.

“Why not just keep it as it is?” Marinette points out. “The limit can stay one Skye Special™ per shift, it will be on a first come first serve basis.”

Skey shakes their head. “And where,” they say, looking Marinette in the eyes before letting their stare move to Tim’s, “is the fun in that?”

Whipping out their phone, Skye clicks a few things before turning it so it faces them. It’s rotated so that it’s landscape, and Tim lets out an unbelieving bark of laughter at what he sees.

He barely makes out Marinette’s whispered, “Guess I owe you five bucks.”

“I have prepared a Google Slides,” Skye says proudly. “It’s very simple.” She points to the slide being displayed, presumably the title slide, and Marinette stares at the words ‘The Coffee Trials’. The subtext underneath the bigger centered title reads, ‘Trial #2: Creation’.

“As you can see, I’m implementing this as the second installment of The Coffee Trials. You will have to work together to, drumroll please…” Despite no one giving a drum roll, Skye still clicks on their phone to unveil the next slide with exuberant enthusiasm and a single jazz hand once the slide is revealed. “Make The Motherload yourselves!”

The next slide has only a picture of The Motherload and a textbox with three confetti emojis.

“Ignore the low-budget slides, I didn't have enough time to put into this. Anyways! Onto the rules-” With another tap on their phone screen, Skye reveals the next slide, which contains a numbered list.

“Rule one, you are given an indefinite amount of time to try and recreate The Motherload. Simple enough. Though you don’t have to have the exact measurements or method of making it, the ingredients all have to be the same, and it has to taste similar as well. I’ll give leeway on all other aspects, though.

Rule two, you are allowed to show me one attempt per week, and by per week, I mean Sunday through Saturday. You don’t have to wait seven days between each attempt.

Rule three, once per week, per week having the same meaning as rule two, you are allowed to ask for a hint. The hint given will always be an ingredient, and if a hint is asked for and can be given, but there are no more ingredients to confirm, you will each be given an espresso cup full of The Motherload to drink and appraise. 

This is the one exception to the fact you are cut off from Skye Specials™, and you are only allowed to drink the sample, as well as look at it. Without any high-powered tech. No cheating by examining it beyond a simple look.

Rule four, not only must you adhere to all prior rules, but you may not ask for or receive outside help, and to enact the two previous rules, those being attempting to confirm your creation or gathering hints, it must be triggered by the both of you .

That’s right, I’ve saddled you with a group project.”

Marinette is lost for words. She looks over at Tim who seems similarly bewildered.

“That's basically it. Any questions?” Skye asks, face the embodiment of innocence.

Tim looks a bit shell-shocked, Marinette realizes. She quite agrees with the reaction, however.

“I don't have enough caffeine to be able to think about or deal with this right now. I don't have enough sleep to deal with this absurdity. And my whole life is dealing with absurdity.” 

Tim’s nodding along with every word Marinette is saying, and oh isn't it great she’s not the only one thrown off by this.

“Well, I think the both of you should sleep and mull this over with well-rested heads. It’s quite a lot to spring onto someone this late, I guess.”

Tim numbly nods, and he and Marinette find themselves walking out of the cafe together, Tim holding the door open for her as they exit.

“Well that ,” Tim begins, “is a type of strange I didn't think I’d have to deal with today.”

Marinette giggles, smiling up at the man beside her. “A different brand of crazy from the usual,” she concedes. “Though it’s a nice change of pace from some of the regular crazy I’ve had to deal with.”

Smiling back down at her, Tim adds, “You’re not wrong.”

They stand there together, staring at each other, for a few seconds, before Tim clears his throat. “You know,” he says, cheeks suddenly the slightest bit pinker. “If you’d like, I can give you my number in case we end up actually going through with Skye’s nefarious plot.”

Surprised by her willingness and excitement, Marinette breathes out a, “Sure,” before handing over her phone.

It’s only after Marinette’s home and ready for bed that she contemplates just what had happened at the coffee shop. Or how it was unfairly hard to think of it without her mind circling back to Tim.

There are too many thoughts in her head to try and confront why looking at Tim’s contact made her smile.

He’d only put in his contact name; Tim, his number, and a short sentence in the notes. ‘u owe me $5.’
