It is never the wrong time to give fic recs.

If you’re looking for something to read while you’re procrastinating on something, I’ve got two amazing options, written by @amyeatscake

I’m not even kidding. They’re marvelous. I’m going to get slightly spoilery, but it’s nothing too bad. So if you’re the kind of person who likes knowing what they’re getting into, I’d say keep reading.

To Be A Hero is a Time Travel!AU filled with high amounts drama and suspense.

What does it take to be a hero?

Ladybug and Chat Noir have been doing a good job of saving Paris over the past few years, but what happens when they are summoned to a future where the heroes no longer exist?

Joined by Alya, the pair must learn how to cope with their future selves and a darkness which has the power to destroy them.

I think my favorite element is hands down the characterization. We have Marinette, who knows she’s not doing the right thing, knows that she’s part of the conflict, but is so drunk on power, she refuses to change anything. And then, Adrien, who is her equal and contrasts her. He knows what they’re doing isn’t right, knows they’re the conflict, and is actually willing to take action to prevent it. It perfectly fits the interpretation people have where Adrien/Chat Noir is meant to be Marinette/Ladybug’s moral compass.

Of course, this was also the first fic I ever read where the characterization of Chloé didn’t want to make me rip my head off. So bonus points for that!

I took a while to stew over what my favorite part was, because if I was being honest, all of it is.

“In another life,” Adrien smiled, “I want to spend every minute of my time with you.”

Marinette flushed and rolled her eyes, “Easy Kitty, one drink does not make me yours.”

“No,” he laughed, “but years of being your Superhero partner does help!”

“Maybe when I go back to my time,” Marinette said quietly, “maybe things will be different?”

“I hope so,” Adrien sighed. “Now, instead of drinking our troubles away and ending up in bed together, why don’t I cook dinner?”

“In your dreams,” Marinette huffed, continuing to blush furiously.

“Don’t worry,” he grinned smugly, “I’m not going to deny my younger self the opportunity to be your first.”

(One of my favorite things is the interactions she wrote between younger!Marinette and older!Adrien)

And have I mentioned that this ended up being my favorite Time Travel!AU? It’s also complete.

Of course, Amy didn’t stop there. Why would she? She has to follow it up with A Conflict Of Interest, which is a Spy!AU. Honestly, I can’t wait to see what she comes up with after she finishes it, if she chooses to continue. But you can bet I’ll be reading it.

Take the shot and end it.

Take the shot and end the blond man stood before her.

Take the shot and end Adrien Agreste’s life.

It was as simple as that.

Or at least it should have been simple.

Marinette shouldn’t have known his full name. She shouldn’t have known the sound of his laugh or the way his lips felt upon hers. She shouldn’t have known what his favourite food was or how much he loved puns. She really shouldn’t have known how it felt to make love to him; to be loved by him and to know how perfect he was for her.

She shouldn’t have known, but she did.

The Love Square shenanigans are so strong, I have to resist the urge to scream. And we’re not even close to them figuring it out.

We’ve got Adrienette, which went from friendly, to flirty, back to friendly. LadyNoir, which went from friendly, to flirty, to just downright sinful. Marichat, which was heavily flirty while it lasted. And Ladrien, which. Is honestly killer.

(And I as bad as Chat yet? No? I’ll keep trying.)

I mentioned this before, but Amy’s characterization of Chloé is absolutely my favorite. It’s going to be shocking to hear, but she doesn’t turn Chloé downright evil. Who would’ve thought, right? And the Chlonette dynamic also gives me life.

Again, picking a favorite part is hard because all of it is so good to read. But I managed to find a promising part.

“You’ve had sex!” Chloé gasped, causing both him and Marinette to flinch and burn red. Marinette knew why she was blushing but had no clue why Adrien was.

“Don’t be silly!”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

Chloé looked from one to the other with shock colouring her entire face. “I was talking to Adrien. You’ve both had sex?”

Marinette waved her off, “that’s crazy.”

"Have you been having sex with each other?”

"I’ve barely seen Marinette,” Adrien frowned. “She’s been healing at home and I’ve been working here.”

"Yeah, all moody and miserable!” Chloé shot back, looking at him as if he was an absolute mystery to her. “Now look at you. You’re glowing!”

"I am not!” Adrien flushed, completely disproving his claim. “Would you stop?”

"I don’t get either of you,” she snapped, stamping her foot childishly. “What am I missing here?”

I don’t think I wrote this, but Spy!Alya is also a thing.

It’s still in progress, but I much prefer the constant cliffhangers and being able to wonder what will happen next. Plus, she updates pretty regularly. There was an update today, which is what prompted me to finally do this.

And don’t forget, if you read, leave Kudos and comments. They make a difference to authors!

[lnc2]

Rediscovered one of my favorite ladynoir fics today while going through my bookmarks.

It’s To Love a Bug by AmyEatsCake and they wrote it for the 2k17 big bang. 

It’s three chapters of slow burn, sexy Ladynoir pining from Chat Noir’s POV and just... ugh.  It follows their relationship through the downfall of Hawkmoth and you just should love yourselves and read it or reread it if it’s been a while.

It’s criminal that this story doesn’t have more comments so if you do read it show the author all of your love.

Rec’tober: WIP but not forgotten

I’ve wanted to do a list like this for ages so why not do one now. The criteria I set for myself are: these are all Miraculous Ladybug fics, the fic has to have not been updated in the last year (so not in or after October 2018), and all must be individual WIPs not marked as complete (i.e. an incomplete ‘series’ of completed fics would not count).

These are absolutely not intended in any way as a “PLEASE FINISH THESE!11!!” but more an appreciation of some cool ideas and concepts that I really enjoyed and stuck with me over the years.

That Which Ties Us by Resamille Description: “Alya, what do I do?” Adrien cried, voice and expression betraying the maelstrom of emotions contained within him. It was a miracle he hadn't exploded yet. “That depends,” Alya hummed coolly. “What do you want to do?” “What?” “Do you want to go after her?” “Yes. Should I?” “Maybe. Do you like her?” “Yes.” “Do you love her?” ... Finally, definitively, he said: “Yes.” It has been a long time since Chat Noir and Marinette fell inexplicably in love--just not with each other. But when Tikki and Plagg decide that the separation has gone on long enough, for reasons beyond the fact their Chosen are oblivious, it starts off a chain reaction that only gets worse.

The kwami, however, chose to answer anyway. “Well, she is your friend, isn't she?” he asked as he finally gave in and stuffed the cheese in his mouth. He swallowed, closing his eyes in satisfaction. “What's so weird about it?” When Marinette sees Chat Noir on her way home in the rain, she doesn't think twice about giving him her umbrella. Only later does he realize that this is his umbrella. But why would she bother keeping it? He's determined to figure the girl out, but since she can't seem to speak to him as Adrien, his only option is as his alter-ego.

Now, seven years later, Marinette Dupain-Cheng is on the rise, studying at the fashion college of her dreams by day, working at her dream internship by afternoon...and occasionally moonlighting as Ladybug by night. This routine is set so firmly in place that, once it's shattered by an old-yet-new enemy, and the reappearances of a cold friend and a hot partner, the whiplash threatens to send Marinette spiraling down into chaos. As Ladybug, she can do anything...but soon those limits will be tested, whether she is in or out of the costume. Words: 446,244 Timeline: Set in the future after they defeat Hawkmoth Pairing: Mainly Marinette/Adrein in various forms, but also Alya/Nino and a couple of others too Rating: Mature Warnings: It's very violent, more so than the show. There's a major character death in the first chapter and it weighs heavily on the tone of the story from that point on. There's also a lot of talk about sex, but only like... one actual sex scene, and it's sort of glossed over. It also goes without saying that this is very, VERY long

Magical Connection by artisticFlutter Description: Based on artwork by Professaurus and an outline by SinMother™ Getting ready for University with tests and portfolios while still being a superhero has Marinette stressed.

Can Ladybug and Chat Noir, or even Paris, survive the merc?

1. Partners

Adrien had never felt so alive.

Becoming Chat Noir had literally opened up his prison cell of a bedroom and sent him skyrocketing through Paris. He was free for the first time in his life and the grin just wouldn’t leave Adrien’s ridiculously photographed face.

With the wind in his hair, Adrien propelled himself across the rooftops of his beautiful city. The day had been utterly amazing. He’d been given awesome powers and had actually used them to defeat a crazy stone dude. Add the most perfect partner he could ever ask for and Adrien was floating on cloud nine.

Ladybug!

Her name caressed even the furthest depths of his mind and made him tingle with joy. The red and black spotted wonder had literally fallen out of the sky like some glorious angel from the heavens. Adrien had known, without a doubt, that she was to be one hell of a partner to his Chat Noir.

Another glorious grin pulled across Adrien’s lips. As if he had summoned the Little Bug, she had appeared in all her beautiful glory before him. He took a running jump over a sizeable gap between the rooftops, and silently skidded to a halt behind her. She stood looking out on the city in quiet contemplation.

Adrien watched her with a fluttering heart; planning his next move. For how did one start a conversation with a superhero? She had literally owned it today. In comparison, Chat Noir had been fairly useless.

“Are you going to stare at me all night?” Ladybug called over her shoulder, keeping her body facing the rest of Paris.

“Erm,” Adrien replied, clearing his throat and hesitantly walking towards the gorgeous girl. He felt strangely clammy as he came to a stop next to her. The feeling didn’t subside when she raised her twinkling eyes to him. “I didn’t want to scare you.”

“That’s very considerate of you,” Ladybug smiled, glancing away quickly.

“I’m a very considerate Cat,” Adrien grinned. Just being in her presence was utterly delightful.

“A cheeky Cat,” Ladybug replied with a little snort. “I’ve only known you a few hours Monsieur Noir, but already I’ve heard you joke and pun more than anyone I’ve ever met!”

“It’s a gift,” Adrien said with a happy shrug. “I also haven’t been able to resist bugging you, Little Lady.”

“Little Lady?” She said with a raise of an eyebrow. “Is this a requirement for our new partnership? Pet names and punning?”

“It’s what all good superhero duos need in order to catch the bad guys,” Adrien said in his most serious voice. “Didn’t you read the manual?”

“Actually I didn’t,” Ladybug admitted with a small sigh. “In fact I’m quite sure someone made a mistake giving me, of all people, a Miraculous.”

“After your performance today?” Adrien asked with a frown. “Ladybug, I don’t think anyone is in any doubt that you are the perfect choice for a Miraculous superpower. You were amazing!”

“What if that was a one off?” The masked girl whispered, gazing up at him with wide eyes. “What if I can’t do anything the next time Hawk Moth creates an Akuma? I was an absolute disaster the first time I faced Stone Heart.”

“How long have you been Ladybug?”

“A-around twenty hours,” she admitted, “maybe twenty-one.”

“So, in around twenty or twenty-one hours you have managed to get a handle on your powers, cure an Akuma victim and defeat Hawk Moth in an epic show down,” Adrien said, unable to keep the awe out of his voice. “You saved countless people and did it all with grace and style.”

“I’m really clumsy,” Ladybug replied with a pink blush covering her face. “I would hardly say I have grace or style.”

“You should watch the footage from today,” Adrien smiled softly, watching the little Bug cross her arms self-consciously. “At no point do you come across as clumsy. You are every bit the hero Paris needs.”

“You seem very sure of this,” Ladybug muttered, continuing to hug herself. “I think if you met the real me you’d understand.”

She moved away from him to sit on the edge of the roof. Chat followed and sat tentatively beside her, swinging his long legs against the brickwork. This was new territory for him. He had very little experience with human beings. His early life had been extremely sheltered and his teen years so far had involved being imprisoned in his house twenty-four seven. It was rare to interact with anyone his own age, let alone an awesome girl with serious insecurities.

“I can think of lots of people better suited to being Ladybug than me,” she continued, “even if today was eventually a success. Someone else could have cleansed Stone Heart much quicker.”

“You’re being too hard on yourself,” Adrien said carefully. “You may be a clumsy Lady outside of the suit but that doesn’t mean you’re not any good at being Ladybug. It’s our first day. With time, we’ll both get better and quicker at dealing with the Akuma.”

“You really think so?” Ladybug sighed, pulling her legs up and resting her chin on her knees.

Adrien lightly placed a clawed hand on her dainty shoulder. “I really do.”

“It’s so overwhelming,” she whispered, keeping her eyes trained on the dark skyline. “A strange bug-like, magical, red and black god appears in my room and tells me I’ve been chosen to help save Paris from monsters. I’m supposed to just nod and jump across the city with a yo-yo!”

“The fact that you made the choice to jump across the city with a yo-yo and kick ass is the reason why you shouldn’t worry about whether you’re good enough,” Adrien replied with a reassuring squeeze on her shoulder. “You clearly have great potential.”

Ladybug sent him a weak smile. “Thank you Kitty.”

Adrien flushed at the nickname and moved his hand into his lap. “We’ll work together to deal with this Hawk Moth nutter. Ladybug and her trusty sidekick; Chat Noir.”

The girl shook her head and frowned up at him. “No, that’s not right.”

“It’s not?” Adrien asked, his gut sinking in disappointment. He may have not been amazing today but he’d tried to support her as best he could.

“Ladybug and her trusty partner,” she uttered gently, blushing prettily. “Chat Noir is no sidekick. We are equals in all of this.”

“We are?” Adrien said, feeling his own cheeks turn crimson.

“Of course we are,” Ladybug nodded, looking certain for the first time since he’d landed beside her. “I couldn’t have done anything today without you being there.”

“I’m glad I could help,” Adrien smiled warmly at the girl. He felt his entire body start tingling pleasantly again. “I also like the sound of our partnership very much.”

“I don’t really know what we’re supposed to do about Hawk Moth,” she admitted, pulling out her yo-yo to fiddle with the string. “But I’m guessing we’ll need to work on using our new powers, so that when he does strike we’ll be better prepared.”

“Do you think we should meet up regularly to practice then?” Adrien asked, attempting and failing to keep the excitement from his voice.

Ladybug laughed and gave him a light nudge. “That sounds like a good plan Kitty. Maybe once or twice a week to get to know each other and our abilities.” “We could patrol the city whilst we do it!” Adrien said enthusiastically, sitting up straighter and grinning like a mad man.

“We could,” she agreed, continuing to laugh and his positivity.

Adrien pulled his baton from behind his back and opened up the phone option. He’d been playing with it all evening and had been intrigued to find a number of useful features stored within it. “If you give me your phone number we’ll be able to co-ordinate times and days. What’s your real name?”

Ladybug placed a hand over his, halting him from adding a new contact. Adrien glanced up to find her gazing at him fearfully and biting on her lower lip.

“You don’t want me to have your real name?” He asked quietly, disappointment making his cat ears drop low to his head.

“I’d rather keep Ladybug and the real me separate for the time being,” she admitted softly. “Until I feel more comfortable about it all.”

Adrien nodded sadly. “I’m guessing you don’t want me to have your number either.”

“You already have it,” Ladybug replied, dropping her hand from his and holding up her yo-yo. “At least, I think you do. I seem to have yours.”

His baton screen lit up, showing he had an incoming call from Ladybug. Adrien looked at it in shock for a second, before pressing the answer button. He couldn’t resist the smile that came to his lips as her face filled the screen. Ladybug waved somewhat shyly into her yo-yo and giggled at his awed expression.

“Do you think this is okay?” She asked, hanging up and pointing between them.

“It’s great,” Adrien said, as earnest as possible. Sure, he’d rather know her real name and have her real phone number, but she didn’t actually know him yet. In time Ladybug would come to trust him and they wouldn’t need this kind of secrecy. It was their first step into a new and exciting adventure together. Adrien wasn’t going to blow it by being a needy baby.

“Thank you Kitty,” Ladybug said, with a relieved sigh.

“No,” Adrien replied, looking back out towards Paris’ twinkling lights. “Thank you, My Lady.”

His Partner let out another giggle and tentatively flicked his little cat bell. They both laughed as their eyes met, and Chat Noir knew he was screwed. He wouldn’t have been able to stop the thunderbolt to the heart if he’d tried.

last line meme

@breeeliss hates me and caught me right after I closed my tab. As if her 109 names weren’t stressful enough. 

Rules: post the last sentence you wrote (fanfic/original/anything!) and tag as many people as there are words in the sentence.

It was weird how the mayor’s daughter went off the grid just when Lila needed to find her.

So, you know miraculous Ladybug fanfictions, right? Don't want to be annoyant, but you know any fanfictions where we get to see Chat and Ladybug meeting their aged up/future selves? Please. And thank you.

Umm, I do remember reading a fic like that once but I never bookmarked it. Basically, LB & CN end up in the future, meet their future selves, and find out they’re married. 

There’s another one called To be a Hero by AmyEatsCake although it’s a little dark, so if that’s your thing, go ahead. It’s a good fic nonetheless.

But I don’t really read those sort of fics often so no, I don’t know a lot. Sorry about that. And don’t worry; you’re not annoying.

[probably-voldemort]

Do you have any more fic refs? The last one you recommended (metamorphosis) was so amazing and other things you recommend I always fall in love with. Is there anymore?

Wow I didn’t know I was good at recommending stuff :P  I’ll give this a shot though.

@artisticflutter‘s Metamorphosis series is great though.  I’m in love.  And the third installment Cocoon just went up last Wednesday, so definitely go check that out if you haven’t yet.

Conflict of Interest by @amyeatscake is another of my favourites.  Ladybug is a spy trying to figure out if Gabriel Agreste is Hawkmoth so Marinette works at his fashion company and Chat Noir is an assassin who technically works for Hawkmoth but also not really, and Marinette is kinda half in love with Adrien and Chat but isn’t allowed to be with either and I just love it.

@amyeatscake’s other fic To Be A Hero was also really good.  I read it a while ago so I’m a little fuzzy on the details, but Marinette, Adrien, and Alya go to a future where Marinette and Adrien have basically gone crazy and destroyed Paris and killed a bunch of people and there’s murder and conspiracies and human sacrifices and it’s dark and gritty and great.

Over the Wall by @imthepunchlord was really good.  Marinette gets banished over the wall (like in the title) to pretty much die in this murder forest but then she makes it out of the murder forest and meets Chat Noir and they have crazy adventures running away from Prince Felix who wants to lock Chat Noir up for generally being evil and doing a bunch of evil things that he either didn’t actually do or did by accident.  And they fight monster using a dragon.  Which is pretty cool.  It’s super cute and fluffy and definitely recommend.

Le Papillon Rising by @sophiacrutchfeild is also good.  Adrien is Papillon and the bad guy and Gabriel is Chat Noir and Ladybug’s partner slash the head of the PTA pretty much and Marinette is torn between being in love with not-actively-evil-but-slightly-creepy Adrien and literal supervillain Papillon everyone is not quite sane and nobody makes good decisions but they’re usually funny decisions.

That’s all for now since I’m terrible at keeping track of fics I like but I hope this helps! :)

3, 13, 46 for "ask fanfic authors", please? (∩＿∩)

Sure thing! Thank you anon

3. name three favorite writers

*sad kitty noises* Just 3?????? Okay, fine whoever comes to my mind right this second @frostedpuffs @sweetprincessluck @amyeatscake

13. hardest character to write

Oh, Jesus. Um well, it isn’t like I tried writing EVERY character, but so far either Gabriel or Tikki (yes, freaking Tikki is hard to write for me for whatever reason)

46. share a scene of a story that you haven’t published yet

Oh, well, I have nothing prewritten, but I have this lil idea for a roadtrip AU. Basically, Alya, Nino and Marinette sort of kidnap Adrien and they end up in this lovely and crazy road trip around southern Europe

Adrien wasn’t sure when things had started to change between his alter ego and his Lady. It certainly wasn’t something that happened overnight. Yet the gradual shift from partners, to friends, to something else, had the potential to completely change his life.

The evolution of Chat Noir and Ladybug’s relationship was never going to be simple. Battling Akumas, meddling teammates, meddling friends, embarrassing situations, a controlling father, an absent mother, secret identities and crushes in their civilian lives are just the tip of the iceberg. Throw in Ladybug’s stubbornness and his socially awkward tendencies, it’s surprising they were even able to make it this far!

With help from a number of familiar faces, Chat and Ladybug embark on an adventure into adulthood.

Adrien will learn what it truly means to love, and be loved in return.

There had been a variety of Akumas in Marinette’s four-year career as Ladybug. Stupid and silly, straightforward and easy, frustratingly difficult and tiring. The weird, the weirder and the weirdest. She had learnt to take each one with the same carefully calculated thought process. Don’t rush in. Don’t have any predetermined expectations. Observe the situation.

It was with this mantra that Ladybug observed the chaos taking root around her beloved city. From her position, high on the rooftops, she could see the mess of problems being left behind by an Akuma calling herself ‘The Alpha’.

Said Akuma is about to give Ladybug and Chat Noir a little wake up call.

Take the shot and end it.

Take the shot and end the blond man stood before her.

Take the shot and end Adrien Agreste’s life.

It was as simple as that.

Or at least it should have been simple.

Marinette shouldn’t have known his full name. She shouldn’t have known the sound of his laugh or the way his lips felt upon hers. She shouldn’t have known what his favourite food was or how much he loved puns. She really shouldn’t have known how it felt to make love to him; to be loved by him and to know how perfect he was for her.

She shouldn’t have known, but she did.
