It’s just barely dawn outside when she begins to feel herself stir, roused from a cocoon of warmth so comfortable she’s loathe to part from it. She curls closer, burrowing deeper and there's a breeze on her cheek as humid as a July evening by the Seine, and for a moment, Marinette imagines herself being back there, her legs swinging freely from the flying buttresses of Notre Dame de Paris, not a care in the world as her partner sits beside her, lays beside her, their thoughts and voices intertwined—

There's a sudden, startling sensation, the slightest pressure gentle and featherlight against her skin. It's on her brow, pressing there like a promise, returning once more on the tip of her nose. It feels good, she thinks, and she leans into it, soft and warm and safe and comfortable in an embrace she can't quite decipher yet but god , does it ever feel good.

She fades out again as the pressures cease only to be roused again by a weight, this time against her lips, dry and warm and barely moving. It's over before she knows it, the light rush of breath against her cheek fleeting and she chases it instinctively, curling into it, hopelessly tangled in bedsheets and warmth as she loses herself to the throes of sleep once again.

“A plus, princesse.”

There’s a shift in her mattress and the warmth and weight is suddenly gone to the tune of her trapdoor’s latch closing shut, a quiet sound that’s just enough to wake her. She opens her eyes just as her sleep addled brain catches up with the rest of her body, her fingers finding their way to her lips.

Did he just...kiss me?

Me thinking about writing my Miraculous Ladybug Figure Skating AU.

(Send kofi because I'm going to need A LOT of wine LOL)

If you’re trying to decide whether or not to write that self-indulgent fic that only you will like?

If you’re trying to decide whether you should read that favourite fic for the 17,000th time even though you have the whole thing memorized?

If you’ve never read/written fanfic before, but you think you want to try it?

Hey sinners, do you actually read the things I post on Tumblr? Is it worth it to post ficlets and drabbles on here? I've tried to in the past but I get max 20 notes and it's disheartening as hell...but I don't mind trying again but...

There are some great writers out here posting things and I can't compete with them because no one reblogs my stuff. Is it because my writing just pales in comparison?

How much would you kill me if Nooroo's reunion with our heroes didn't turn out to be unicorns and roses? How much would you kill me if Nooroo's abuse at the hands of Gabriel just threw him off the *rails*?

(Asking for a friend 😁)

I just hit 700+ followers and I want to celebrate! Hit me up with a quote/lyric that you love and I will write a Miraculous Ladybug drabble for you!

Send me a quote (from a book, movie, tv, song, poem, etc.) + one of my fandoms, and I will create something that combines the two.

A Miraculous Ladybug Drabble

La cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris is in flames.

The five of them stand just beyond the police line, hand in hand, at a loss. Yoyos, batons and tops sit useless at their sides. Illusions are pointless. Shields can only hide them from the flames.

Ladybug does her due diligence of course, having helped keep the citizens at bay while the symbol of their city burned. She’d noticed the smell first, the acrid scent of trouble wafting in through the doors of her parents Boulangerie-Patisserie. She’d escaped her parents supervision fully expecting to fight an akuma and be back before dinner.

She certainly hadn’t expected this.

She finds Chat Noir using his baton to block traffic and his cheeks are already smudged in ash. She asks him if there had been anyone to save and he assures her that they all managed to escape before the roof caved in. She’ll later find out that he was first on the scene and had managed to evacuate the remaining tourists and construction workers responsible for Her renovation.

But for now, as the spire falls, the city watches in silence.

There’s nothing they can do. No one can, not as the flames rage higher and higher, razing the roof of the cathedral to the ground. The firefighters work as hard as they can to tame the leaping plumes of flame as they pour out through the rose window on the western facade, but there’s only so much they can do with the resources they have.

Soon, there will be nothing but the ashes of over eight hundred years of history at the edge of the Seine.

La cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris continues to burn.

And every heart in Paris burns too.

NOTE: [Notre-Dame de Paris, as it’s known to most of the French speaking world, has suffered from structural setbacks before. It’s been crumbling since the 1800s and has been in a state of renovation for the last several decades. Because of this, many of Her statues and relics are safely tucked away where they’re being restored to their former glory but many architectural aspects, like the spire itself, weren’t quite as lucky. Some people are saying that Notre-Dame de Paris is only somewhat damaged and others are saying that it’s going to be a pile of ash. While none of us can be certain as to the damage until the fire is completely extinguished, I think it’s safe to say that this truly is a heartbreaking event for not just Catholics entering Holy Week, but Parisians themselves. Regardless of race or religion, Notre-Dame de Paris is a beloved and iconic silhouette on the skyline of Paris and will be mourned loudly and passionately by people around the world.]

Thank you so much @freedom-shamrock for your generous and kind fic rec! You have always been a great supporter of writers in our fandom 💜

ML Fic Rec - Sommeil

If you haven’t read Sommeil by @ao3bronte, I highly recommend adding it to your list of things to read.  Maybe bump it up near the top of the list. It’s utterly amazing, start to finish and has launched itself into my top 5 favorite Miraculous stories. 

Sweet fluffy Marichat?  Check Ladynoir besties? Check Cuddles, affection, and head scritchings? Very check. Reveals and some realistic sin? ALL the checks.

Plakki. Dont let them see you cry.

Plakki is literally the most ear cringing ship name I have ever heard LOL

I'll consider it but I'm not really feeling the vibe.

[ao3bronte]

Guys, another one of my acquaintances has gotten engaged and I'm literally - I'm not kidding - the only one left who is completely and utterly single.

So be prepared to be inundated with posts about self pity on my part. Blacklist #forever alone if you don't want to deal with my utter bullshit.

Me when i post a chapter of Masquerade

before i post art: haha nice! i don’t care if this gets notes, im proud of myself ! my lying ass after i post:

[ao3bronte]

I just got this horrible ache in my chest, like a broken heart from the loss of a loved one. Except the loss is the fact that by financially supporting my family, I sacrificed my entire social circle and will literally have no one but my family for company for the next 9 weeks.

I'm terrified of what I'm going to turn into.
