#Felis et Canus AU

[generalluxun]

Hey, those few followers I've cultivated... would you be upset if I bounced back to an older AU for a little while? I will *not* abandon the Chloe goes back in time AU, but I might need something a little lighter for a bit.

I've got my 'Felis et Canus' also known as my 'Dog Daze' AU. I really like that one. It 'ended' in a good spot, but I've had a new arc/idea/fic on the backburner forever for it. Set when they're all older, about to hit university.

Would anyone be interested in that?

-Yes

-No

-What is that? (Curious)

-What even is that? (don't care)

Since I am tinkering with my Felis et Canus AU again. Miss Hound and Cat Noir being Very Affectionate goofballs together.

As of this time in the AU they're technically just mentor/understudy as far as most people know (she knows his ID and is first backup for the cat, similar to Alya for Marinette)

Of course Sabrina and Adrien have been dating for a while now... and the other heroes all know Sabrina is Miss Hound... So the pair get some side-eyes now and then.

I got a little cute something for ya

Just saw your post about potentially returning to the Dog Daze universe and had to tell you that I’d be so hyped to see that. Like man that’d be awesome

I'm thinking about it. I've had a fic on back burner FOREVER. It advances time significantly. There's a Lull. The upside is it's a single chapterfic not a whole new arc. I might post some things here to update people who haven't read the previous work(it's like, what, 150K or so total? ish?)

Pack mentality!

Pack Mentality is the next fic in the Felis et Canus AU. Years have passed, and the fic begins as the Tsurugis return to Paris. It seems Tomoé isn't interested in Gabriel's excuses. She wants her wish, and is willing to go to lengths to get it. Among the chaos, the last secret, Cat Noir's identity, finally comes out, and all that that entails for our heroes.

The kiss was something rare for them: surprisingly gentle. Marinette’s senses expanded instead of being overwhelmed. Chloé’s perfume was as always a powerful background that framed everything about her. Her kiss was light, very nearly timid. Her lipstick held no flavor, and yet the dull matte of cosmetics was its own spice when laid over Chloé’s lips. Marinette’s heart raced into the gentleness. Her fingers gripped Chloé’s sleeve more tightly. A tilt of her head, their noses grazing.  Marinette’s eyes drifted closed as she renewed the kiss for a second round.

They drifted apart slowly. Marinette’s eyes opened to a gaze that was trying to hide and ask at the same time.  Chloé bit her bottom lip. She’s nervous. Marinette let go and drifted back further, giving Chloé space. “Mmm, going to tell me what’s on your mind? Not that this isn’t nice, but you forget, I know you.”

Marinette leaned back in to whisper against Chloé’s ear.

“Biblically.”

The sharp intake of breath, the lack of a comeback, Chloé really was beside herself over something.  As Marinette watched, those eyes widened, narrowed, then looked away. “It’s her. Not– I’m past calling her names. That was all a long time ago, but she is still…” Chloé swallowed. “I don’t know how to describe it, except, she has my mother’s eyes.”

Marinette slid her touch down from Chloé’s arm to her hand, squeezing. “Kagami can seem austere.” Marinette remembered their own first encounters with a fond smile. “Especially when you’re picking on her friends. She’s sweet though, and kind, and steadfast-”

“-and a Gold Medalist with a saber.” Chloé added.

Marinette couldn’t help but laugh. “And that too. Don’t worry, if anyone, Adrien should be worried. I doubt he’s kept in practice enough to be up to her standards.”
