TAGGING GAME!

In a new post, show the last line you wrote (or drew) and tag as many people as there are words (or as many as you feel like).

Even with her clumsy pronunciation of the word government, Adrien had been excited to play the game. And then he had thought about his mother’s disappointed face and let Chloé eat all the candy on her own. 

“Maman, can I have cool balloons for my next birthday too?” Adrien had asked her. It had been a sunny day and he had picked out daisies from the garden to put them into his mother’s braid. “Oh, Adrien,” she had sighed, after he had explained what exactly he meant. “Aging isn't something to look forward to. We all just celebrate to pretend we’re not miserable. You don't want balloons that let everyone know that you're one step closer to damnation.”

Adrien hadn't understood some of the words but he had never asked for balloons again. 

(Maybe he hadn't forgotten his mother's age. Maybe he had never known it to begin with.) 

Adrien placed the towel on top of the sink and turned around. He needed a second shower. 

Since @rosie-b showed us more than a line I thought I would do the same :D This was originally supposed to be for @coffeebanana because she sent me a prompt (hurt/comfort after a nightmare) months ago and I fully forgot about it💀 I don't even remember if I was gonna make it lovesquare, Adrino or platonic Chlodrien. But if you're reading this, feel free to tell me your preference xD Someday I'll finish it lmao

No pressure tagging @coffeebanana @raspberrycatapult @kasienda @crizztelcb @halfahelix and @hamsteriffic, do it for writing or art as you please :) super rarely on tumblr atm so I apologize if you have all already been tagged before

2022 Rare Pair Fic Rec List

It's the end of the year which means it's finally time for the ML Big Bang's yearly fic rec lists! We're really excited to bring you our contributors' favourite fics started this year to supply you with plenty of reading material while you're waiting for the Big Bang fics' publication in January.

Alya/Nino

Strangely Familiar by @sunfoxfic 79,676 words, Teen, 30/30 chapters

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.

"DJWifi centric with great Core 4 dynamics as well, really interesting Nino & Alya characterisation and interactions and identity shenanigans and aaaahhhhh"

Trust your instincts by @ultrakart 2,380 words, General, 1/1 chapter

Alya has the instincts of a fox. Nino finds it hilarious.

"Funny animal instincts DJWifi fic. Perfect :D"

Laughing at her Laughter by @sunfoxfic 634 words, General, 2/2 chapters

Now that Nino knows Alya has the Fox Miraculous permanently, they're able to try something they always wanted to do: Switch Miraculous. For one of them, at least.

"A very sweet kwami-swap! AND it has beautiful bonus art!"

Pigs and Purposes by @azuriteartist 863 words, General, 1/1 chapter

Nino and Alya discuss responsibility and sacrifice.

"We stan kwami swaps so much and this conveys so much with so little."

Adrien/Nino

in which Adrien braids his boyfriends hair by @ck2k18 986 words, General, 1/1 chapter

"I could do your hair for you,” Adrien offered. “I-if you wanted.” Nino turned to look at him. “You want to cut my hair?” Adrien shook his head. “Not exactly. I mean, I could try but I don’t think you want me to, unless you want to end up bald,” he joked. “I was thinking I could braid it.”

"Adrinino is so good and it's so sweet!!! I love a good ole hair doing fic!!! (especially when there's talk of future kids!)"

Marinette/Alya

Is it chill that you're in my head? by @bring-the-storm 8,217 words, Teen, 1/1 chapter

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 

"A very enjoyable read! As the tags say, it's basically an episode of a show; it's a bit funny, a bit plotty, a bit shippy. A very clever story!"

Marinette/Kagami

We Don't Need Roses by @coffeebanana 5,308 words, Teen, 1/1 chapter

Kagami’s days at the tattoo shop have gotten a lot more exciting since the flower shop opened up next door, bringing Marinette into her life. But no matter how close the two seem to be growing, Kagami can’t help but notice that something is holding Marinette back.

"Marigami. Mainly fluffy, but there's some angst that really rounds it out. Tattoo parlor/flower shop AU. What I liked most about it was the characters backstories, especially Marinette. Also Kagami is a useless lesbian."

Marinette/Chloé

the memories that you went and tossed away by @sunfoxfic 4,965 words, Teen, 1/1 chapter

Marinette Dupain-Cheng suffered from an accident that caused amnesia. Now that lycée has started, she's back in school, and Chloé is trying to make sense of her own problems, but Dupain-Cheng keeps getting in the way, and she can't figure out why. It's fine; everything's fine.

"An angsty, one-sided crush story that is satisfying and enjoyable, even without a happy ending. It is very well written!"

Alya/Kagami

darling (the composer has stepped into fire) by @theladyfae 1158 words, General, 1/1 chapter

Kagami likes Alya. She still isn't sure whether Alya likes her or not. This is a problem, when Alya's mere presence flusters her more than it should.

"READ FOR EXQUISITE GAY PINING"

Adrien/Lila

A Little White Lie by generalluxun 1,199 words, General, 1/1 chapter

A nervous Lila Rossi shows Adrien her room, and things take an unexpected turn.

"Wonderfully written and deeply emotional, the way you can expect from his fics. Short, with a twist that hits hard for maximum impact. A must-read for all of us who don't like Lila."

Luka/Chloé

broken guitar (with a little c minor sting) by noirshitsuji 2,175 words, Teen, 1/1 chapter

For the White Elephant Exchange at the Miraculous Writer's Guild: Give the LB and CN miraculouses to two characters (who aren't Marinette and Adrien). *** “Has nobody ever warned you about adopting strays, Couffaine?”

"The dynamic of Luka and Chloe in this is tasty and I have grown to be extremely fond of the writer's particular style. They're very good at subtext and insinuation and nuance."

Luka & Marc (QPR)

just wanna stay for the night by @asadweeghostie 246 words, General, 1/1 chapter

He keeps trying to not touch them, like little love notes as he eyes his favourite one. Lyrics about love and friendship written next to his keyed notes.

"There's something about this fic that always feels like home to me. I'm aware that this is a queerplatonic relationship, but the way it's written and how it's talked about brings up the possibility for a future romantic relationship, so I feel that maybe it's more fitting here. This author is one of my favorites; the way they write and express relationships is so endearing."

NSFW works

Félix/Kagami

Blood Will Tell by @sunfoxfic 30,352 words, Mature, 11/11 chapters

Kagami Tsurugi is pregnant. More precisely, Kagami Tsurugi is pregnant and Félix Fathom is the father. After spending months as "friends with benefits," neither knows what to do, and both are panicking in their own emotionally suppressed ways. And as the worst happens — both in their heads and at their hands — they uncover more than they thought they could handle; but the story is not over, and what doesn't kill Kagami only makes her freakishly motivated to be better tomorrow.

"A raw fic that is exploring accidental teenage pregnancy and all that comes with it. It is gently but realistically showing the often-glossed over discussions about abortion, while not straying too dark and being very "readable". The prose is gorgeous as well!! Chlonette: An angsty, one-sided crush story that is satisfying and enjoyable, even without a happy ending. It is very well written!"

Luka/Adrien

I've Got Friends on the Other Side by @inkmousey 6,796 words, Explicit, 1/1 chapter

Father Luka only tries his best to be a devout servent of The Lord. Adrien, a Succubus, wants to see Father Luka on his knees saying his name like a prayer instead.

"I love subverting expectations and this fic does it more than once!!!"

charge de fin de soirée by @leafweaverryn 5,627 words, Explicit, 1/1 chapter

During a late night patrol, Chat Noir finds Luka at a laundromat working on washing everything he's got. The hero takes the opportunity to air out some dirty laundry of his own…

"Such an amazing and thrilling Lukadrien fic!"

!! thank you for asking I love talking about my blorbos 👀

this isn't going to shock anyone but my favorite miraculous ship is marigami 💞 here's some of my favorite pieces of art I've made of them -> (x/x/x/x)

gonna use a read more here bc it got kinda long ksjhdfkjs headcanons and fic recs under the cut 🥰

as for headcanons I personally hc kagami as a lesbian who struggles with comphet. I think it makes sense with her character and as a queer woman who has had a lot of complicated feeling about her own identity it's kinda comforting to explore that kinda thing in fiction skjdhfjks

for my favorite marigami fics I'm just gonna plug some of my friend @coffeebanana's (hi kayla lol) works because I really like the way she writes them 💞

I Don't Believe In Umbrellas by coffeebanana college AU 🥺 kagami learning about herself, a little bit of lukadrien on the side as a treat, I love them your honor

We Don't Need Roses by coffeebanana tattoo parlor x flower shop AU with a little bit of angst 😭 this fic is genuinely so sweet and touching just make sure you read the tags first (or don't if you want to be surprised but don't say I didn't warn you)

Zero Chance of (Not) Falling by coffeebanana Glaciator 2.0 alternate ending kjsdhfks kagami helping marinette practice her confession, this fic also happens to be a birthday gift for me so I couldn't not include it 🎉

gotta stop myself before this post gets too long but thanks for letting me talk about my girls <3

Daily Fics

The Sun Will Rise Again by CoffeeBanana ( @coffeebanana )

“And then they kissed.”

“No they didn’t!” The girl protested. “Ladybug wouldn’t want that.”

Except, Ladybug would. If given the chance, she’d sit there and let Chat kiss her a thousand times. She’d kiss him back even harder. She’d wrap her arms around him and never let go.

Or: after Monarch's defeat, Chat pulls away, and Ladybug can't understand it. Why is he avoiding her? Why does it feel like he's miles away, even when he's by her side? He won't tell her what's wrong. He won't let her help. And Ladybug's starting to wonder if she'll ever get to tell him how she really feels.

☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

The Monsters of Paris by ThornQueen ( @i-am-thornqueen )

Team Miraculous is back from their adventures in London, happy to be home in Paris a little older, a little wiser, a little furrier. Some things are going to take more adjusting to than others. However, amid all the fun of learning to walk on the wild side, danger still lurks in the shadows. Something dark is growing in the heart of Paris. Will Ladybug and Chat Noir be able to stop it before it becomes their doom?

A WERECAT IN LONDON HAS A SEQUEL!!!!!

[maridotnet]

15 Questions 15 Mutuals

Thank you @coffeebanana, @ck2k18, and @lesbitorte for the tags :)))

1. Are you named after anyone?

I have my grandmother's name as my middle name, but my first name is new to the family tree.

2. When was the last time you cried?

Oh uhhhh I might have teared up watching Across the Spiderverse a couple nights ago? I also think I shed a few modest tears after being left at the airport for an extra hour at 2 am (NOBODY'S fault, just a victim of circumstance), on the tail end of a very stressful day of travel

3. Do you have kids?

No but I'd LOVE to someday

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

I'm told I do, especially by people who I'm just meeting :) but it's the vibe in my family, so I don't think of it as "a lot"

5. What sports do you play/have played?

No SPORTS sports, but I did swimming and running for a while, and now I rock climb and hike. Also I love dancing and yoga!

6. What’s the first thing you notice about someone?

Gosh it depends on the person - probably if they're nice or not? I interact with a lot of different people every day at work, and so the first thing I usually clock is whether I think they'll be easy to get along with.

7. What’s your eye color?

🔵👄🔵

they were once described as "fanfiction blue" and I think that's my favorite one to date

8. Scary movies or happy endings?

I don't feel like the two are exclusive to each other but dude happy endings!!! I don't like my main emotional experience in a piece of media to be fear, and i don't need it to be HAPPY either but at least a sense of catharsis and relief is needed or I get a little messed up about it lol

9. Any special talents?

Ooh well I'm pretty good at languages! If we mean like a party trick kind of talent, I'm coming up blank, but I do have a lot of poetry memorized.

10. Where were you born?

Texas baby 🤠🤠

11. What are your hobbies?

so so many!!!! art of course, I'm learning to swing dance, piano and singing are something I love doing when I have the chance, hiking and rock climbing as I said, plant identification, cooking (I'm big into mediterranean food right now - complicated saucy entrees on fresh bread or rice is like my IDEAL meal I think), crocheting, and reading - probably others lol but that's enough of a list!

12. Do you have pets?

MHM A CALICO NAMED JUKEBOX LOVE HER TO BITS AND PIECES

13. How tall are you?

5'6" and a quarter hehe - 168 cm

14. Favorite subject in school?

It depends so much on the teacher. I've LOVED my linguistics and brain cognitive science classes in college, though.

15. Dream job?

I have a couple! Top choice would be a specific type of interpreter in the language field I'm studying to go into. I want to be a teacher at some point (my parents and grandparents were all teachers for at least a bit, and I've always assumed and hoped I'd end up in a classroom again for a while as the educator), and I would SO SO love to be a children's book illustrator someday. Artists like the Johnstone sisters and whoever else illustrated my books as a kid have had such an influence on the interior decoration of my brain.

I'm sure all the people I want to tag have been tagged already, but let's yell at @heartfulselkie @sandradoodles @asukiess @wackus-bonkus-maximus @shameboree @lad-bug-and-chad-noir @ladybeug @bugaboooooooooo @davey-in-a-minivan

Sanguine (2576 words) by AlexSeanchai

Chapters: 1/1

Fandom: Miraculous Ladybug

Rating: Mature

Warnings: Major Character Death

Relationships: Adrien Agreste | Chat Noir/Marinette Dupain-Cheng | Ladybug

Characters: Marinette Dupain-Cheng | Ladybug, Adrien Agreste | Chat Noir, Gabriel Agreste | Papillon | Hawk Moth

Additional Tags: Temporary Character Death, Angst with a Happy Ending, Prose Poem, Queerplatonic Ladynoir, Established Pre-Reveal Adrienette, Inspired by Orpheus and Eurydice (Ancient Greek Religion & Lore), Blood and Violence, Character Death, Fiber Arts, Gardens & Gardening, Food as a Metaphor for Love, Podfic Welcome

Summary:

arrête! c'est ici l'empire de la mort

An odd sign. No one ever stops at the gates of the empire of the dead. One might turn back from a cemetery or wander the banks of the Styx, a Ladybug's charmed luck might turn the Pearly Gates to revolving doors, but the catacombs are a tourist attraction, and there is no moratorium on mortality.

She'll have to remember that one. The one she's here for might laugh. She hopes he'll laugh.

[formidable-coccinelle]

Hello! This is a post I'm making to include mock-ups of some merch I drew to go along with my fic on AO3, Chat Noir's Most Fur-vent Sup-purr-ter.

I have Aphantasia which means I can't imagine things, so having these concepts on paper helps me to explain things. In case my descriptions are unclear, though, I'm sharing them to (hopefully) help.

It is mostly drawings, but there are a few pieces I've actually made and I'll share those when the time comes.

It was written for @coffeebanana and to begin, I have the necklace, fabric, and ribbons that Adrien gives Marinette in Chapter 1. When I update with later chapters, I'll also update the merch I have for later chapters.

The necklace.

The fabric (just a swatch) I dont know how big the swatch is supposed to be, but it's a mock-up, so...

The ribbon. This is probably like... 8 cm of the ribbon that Adrien got for Marinette? Probably doesn't work mathematically, but I did my best.

If you haven't read chapter one, what are you doing here. Please don't just look at my 'art.' I promise the fic is better.
