[circadianrhythmofthekiller]

yo!! i have a marvelous request, would you be up to drawing any AOTK characters as furry/anthro versions???

day 62 - ladybug

my sketch (much cuter) and animal headcanons for other characters are below the cut

my sketch is so cute but sadly not too accurate to how an asian lady beetle looks, so i went a bit crazy. but one of the things i love about anthros is how much of the animal’s unique features you can incorporate into the design, so i had fun messing around with it ^_^

[mikodrawnnarratives]

I just remembered a project I worked on for a while in like 2021 (maybe 2020) and it had a LOT of akumatized marinette's

That was the idea behind the whole thing but man I did one by one and found some of the most obscure akumatized marinette au's

Sooooo I'm dragging these drawings up from the ashes and maybe it'll be a nice surprise for some of y'all to see

yall got ✨fanart✨

and possibly reminded of miraculous ladybug HA

usually these were done on different canvas's (that were like 250x250) and then just... copied onto a larger canvas??? Mistakes were made and I was insane

A handful of these akumanette's were actually made by me cause apparently... roughly 18 other marinette's wasn't enough

Click for quality and this is a long post

First of all, shoutouts to my own akuma abominations creations.

First image, the ladybug with the red long hair? yeah the idea was the akuma bug seen in canon in like, s2 (also shown next to her) but updated for the new look in s4. Vry original we'll give it a 6/10

I don't remember too much for the middle one that is slightly dimmer. Though I do remember that was the kind of IDEA behind her. She's also holding a knife cause of course. Why have magical powers to kill people when you can harness the power of K N I F E 7/10

I remember a little more about the jester marinette in the back. She had a whole thing with medieval research, jester research, and she also wanted to stab Lila cause everyone wanted to stab lila at the time. 9/10 cause I had a fun time with her

Then the robinhood poster mari was a robin hood akuma mari. 3/10 not original

NEXT

Slightly canon to downright canon

Ladyblanc was a popular akumanette idea so slightly canon, I didn't base it off of anyone's au

Ladybug and Marinette are there because what's the fun of a crossover if the og doesn't get to panic along with the rest of them????

Last image, not talking about persecuter, we'll get to her in a bit. I just thought it would be funny at the time if I included Chloe and Antibug cause... haha

Antibug is kinda an akumatized lb rip off soooo

OTHER'S AU'S

what you've been waiting for

Thank god I kept track of credit (pats past me on the back)

First of all, at the very front we got @zoe-oneesama 's devil au that made an updated appearance in her scarlet lady au, love to see it

You'll also notice little devil bug on lb's knee in the sketch

Alopeka is to the left of Devil au, by @piearsonist

hi betcha you never would have guessed you got FANARTED HA

This is a post that explains that akumatized marinette, and you'll find more if you go to her page

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND

Princess justice at the right by @kibouwmlb (also, hello hi, surprise) and honestly it is SUCH a pretty design OMYWORD I love the watercolors

Twiddling her thumbs, minding her business. Remember the release of Descendants 3? Yeah, Queen of Mean baby. And MORE by @shiinaeu hi you are a legend to me

This was so fun to draw at the time and I was experimenting in ways I hadn't before. Peak youtube miraculous ladybug fixation meeting art interest. First one of the characters I did fun fact

@edendaphne betcha you didn't expect fanart of that one scorpion akumanette well THINK AGAIN (also, crazy that this was around when I did your dtiys I just realized, huh)

ANd then slightly more obscure, though the post does have 173 ish notes so, is @skullqueensart 's akumanette right here

Why does akumanette have sunken cheeks here? I have no clue honestly. Take it up with me from 3 years ago and maybe you'll get answers who knows. She's also just... chilling. Looking at nothing. Into the abyss.

Not now chloe's, we are discussing persecutor now.

Love the story idea honestly and the akuma design is so god tier AKUMA that oof @yiprincessart I love it

Oh uh, and chloe will be fine

:)

CAN👏I👏 TALK👏 ABOUT👏 HER

She is the moment, she is beauty, she is grace

@artist-from-outersp-ace I love her. She looks so SO pretty!! At the time I loved your artstyle and I still do!! Too bad at the time I didn't know that Tumblr works by reblogging. I will be amending that.

I also remember being SO frustrated when drawing her that I didn't get a timelapse saved in time to show the drawing process :(

But I did love figuring out folds in the dress and the coloring process! Figuring out how to replicate elements in your art!

srs guys. Look at the RUFFLES

Alright, we are all agreeing to be accomplices and bystanders to Akuma jester marinette's NOT MURDER murder of Lila in the background? Okay good.

@lunian I have fanart for you~

And when I tell you I struggled with her design, I STRUGGLED. I ended up satisfied in the end but the curls bro, we lost the curls

But I do love her concepts and powers and I did back then too

And next to her, Okay, I never fully finished, mostly because I couldn't figure out how to get the hand to work with the tray balance thingie

@ladybub made this Lady Justice design and I WILL BE THERE when the comic updates. Or... if they aren't able to continue the comic that's also fine too <3 Life happens

Still love this au and the unique way for Marinette to get akumatized! Me and my sister bonded over our love over it!

I think this might be the first akumanette that isn't on tumblr to my knowledge. They are on Instagram tho @stivenwithani

Anyway I really liked the concept and the design just, reeked, of akuma that I included her

Okay more that I didn't really finish

We got another Princess/Lady Justice akuma idea at the left. Which I never kept track of the credit DANG IT I WAS DOING SO WELL

I'll update if I find the credit but man the OG did really well with the art.

And I have this akumanette comforting Lacrima from... a very graphic and whump fanfic Longest Night, read the tags

Anyway, Lacrima needs all the love she can get (also, funny enough, is the oldest out of this "gathering" of akumanette's)

It's not finished but hey @p-artsypants I gave angst ridden Lady Lacrima friends and fanart so.... yay...

AND THEN THE LAST ONE

was victim to so much reposting I could never find credit for it- UNTIL NOW

but the artist unfortunately deactivated their blog so that explains why I couldn't find their username all that time ago

It was a cool idea and I always love when creators take inspiration from how similar Marinette's name is to another word for a kind of puppet "Marionette"

But before I forget, I'll end this post on one of my akumanette's that I tried to squeeze in but never got to. But I did make more art for and I remember the story!

I remember having a background planned but I never really got around to it. Basically the story was that marinette got akumatized but managed to take off her earrings in time. I think the reason for her akumatization was connected to figuring out the secrets that Emilie had been hiding with the peacock miraculous (BEFORE we knew that adrien was a sentimonster).

Tikki had to bring the earrings to Chat Noir and he had to find someone that looked ENOUGH like Ladybug that Hawkmoth wouldn't notice as much that Ladybug wasn't actually there. Enter Mireille cause at the time a few people were pointing out how similar she looked to the dupain chengs.

Akumanette's powers had something to do with casting depression? I think? In the form of dragons? Oh, Also she travels by walking on the dragons so thats cool

I don't remember everything but I did have a lot planned for her.

10/10 just because I had a fun time with her

[lacystar]

the single BEST moment in MLB hands down is hawkmoth has the villain holding ladybug at the top of the building, adrien plummeting towards the ground, and Gabriel waiting agonizing second by agonizing second, watching his SON approach the concrete, waiting for chat noir to show up and save the day, and he's not and where is he? at this rate, Gabriel is so used to being defeated, to losing, that to see his son even getting close to the same failure he experiences at the hands of these heroes every single day is just completely inconceivable. him? curses, yeah, but routine. but adrien? his cruel bargaining chip? his bait? his SON? and chat noir isn't there. he doesn't come. and finally, finally, rationality wins out against disbelief and he commands the villain to drop ladybug. he lets her go TO SAVE HIS OWN SON AGAINST HIMSELF

AND THAT DOESNT EVEN GET INTO THE LADRIEN MOMENT... I think its the first proper ladrien moment in the entire series, adrien surviving near death, in the arms of his lady, and marinette so fucking terrified seconds earlier that she was going to watch the love of her life (lol) die in front of her eyes (cringe teenager crush but like traumatic nonetheless) now lowering him down to safety and they're staring into each others eyes, and why the fuck did hawkmoth let him go? and Gabriel HAD THE LADYBUG MIRACULOUS IN HIS GRASP BUT HE LET IT GO FOR ADRIEN AND IM CRAZY IM FUCKING CRAZY!!

Miraculous minicomic: Chrysabug (Lustful Lucky Charm) [MATURE]

I've made this minicomic, today.

The synopsis:

Chrysalis holds Ladybug as her prisoner in her lair. Ladybug uses her Lucky Charm for think about an escape plan but something goes wrong.

Warning: this story presents mature content (tw: bsdm; tw: bondage; flirting scene)

The story:

In Catacombs, Ladybug and Chrysalis fight each other. Chrysalis activates a trap causing Ladybug be handcuffed with automatized chains. The Butterfly villainess points her sword cane in direction of the now captive superheroin.

Chrysalis: You have been suicidal to come to my base without your Cat, Ladybug. Your miraculous will be mine.

Ladybug: Not today, Chrysalis. Lucky Charm !

Ladybug summons an object from the yo-yo she held on her right hand. The Lucky Charm has the form of... a gag-ball ?!

WTF ?!

Chrysalis catches the "curious toy" with the left hand and she innocently giggles. Ladybug is astonished and embarrassed about her Lucky Charm's form.

Chrysalis: That's a fun power you have. I didn't know how lustful you are, Marinette. I must thank you.

Ladybug: Thank ? For taking the earrings from me ?

Chrysalis: You made me change my mind. I will not take your miraculous. Your Lucky Charm must request you for find a solution. I'm guessing what is the usefulness of it: It's about escape from your actual situation.

Ladybug: Sure. But you could be disappointed if an interference wastes your future plans.

Chrysalis become weird. She acts as seductive.

Chrysalis: Oh. I don't talk about one of your partners who could come try to rescue. You won't need of them. Just need of me.

Ladybug: What do you mean ?

Chrysalis: I just give you a clue, my Lady.

Ladybug: You'll release me ? Just like that ?

Chrysalis: Of course. But first, I have a kind of truce to offer you.

Ladybug (confused): What kind of "truce" ?

Chrysalis (seductive): To accept to have a fun with me.

Ladybug (embarrassed, blushing): "A Fun" with you ? Are you crazy ?

Chrysalis: So. You guessed ? Fine. Or do you prefer I take off your earrings now ?

Ladybug: The fun. Cerise !

Chrysalis (giggling): Oh perfect. I haven't expected this answer but okay.

Chrysalis begins to be closer to Ladybug. She points the gag-ball and she licks her sword cane in same time. Ladybug becomes nervous, shy and confused.

Ladybug (insecure): Will you make me this... disturbing scene ? Like in a Fifty Shades style ?

Chrysalis: I understand you know what is coming for you. I already know what will happen next, Ladybug. Huh... My Lady. ❤

Chrysalis puts the gag on Ladybug's mouth making the latter gagged. The Butterfly mistress gently caresses the submissive Ladybug's chin. The latter is blushing.

Chrysalis (lustful): You look very hot, my Lady. Don't worry. This is just a experiment on you. I swear I won't steal your red-black earrings. The fun I want to make can happen for a few minutes. Or possibly one hour. I hope you can support that what I will go to make to you. My fun is your fun. Our personal fun, my Lady. Let's begin ! ❤

To be continued ?

[stormiclown]

What I truly love most about the DC universe is how stupidly large it is. There are so many different Earths and timelines that you can merge it with another pic of media, and you can justify it by saying it's an entirely different timeline. The DCU is so diverse and wide that its compatible with literally everything.

The MCU? Bruce and Tony know each other due to being billionaire playboys with genius intellect and using their skills to become formidable heroes. Thor and Diana know each other, the League of Assassins is aware of Hydra and the Red Room, etc.

Miraculous Ladybug? Diana and Queen Hyppolita (a former ladybug) know all about the Miraculous and Marinette goes to the Justice League for assistance with Hawkmoth. Given the people they've been up against before, Hawkmoth would fit right in. The addition of the miraculous would be very natural to the DCU.

Danny Phantom? A teenaged boy with ghost powers from another realm ends up in Gotham and starts trolling people is something that would definitely happen in Gotham at some point. It was only a matter of time.

I swear the next DCU & Batman crossover fandom is going to be Avatar the Last Airbender or something. With the Justice League adopting these gremlin children. Bruce "I adopt strays every other week" Wayne would see Katara, Aang, Toph, Zuko, Sokka, and Suki and go "Mine." Sokka cracking jokes with Dick, Zuko and Damian getting on each other's nerves, Katara and Alfred bonding over how they have to keep feral children in check, Toph and Jason trying to declare dominance over each other every other second. Aang going around Gotham and following Bruce while he does Batman things, and surprisingly getting along great with Damian over their love for animals (Damian refuses to admit he got excited when Aang allowed him to ride Appa). The spirits in the atla world won't be so far off base in a world where there are aliens, demons, and demigods walking the earth.

Gothamite criminals everywhere would be getting their asses kicked. Soon Gotham has six more vigilantes, four of which have terrifying elemental abilities and the other two can throw hands. Blue Spirit Zuko throwing hands, Painted Lady Katara thrashing people with water and healing innocents, Blind Bandit Toph crushing people into the dirt, Kyoshi Warrior Suki striking fear in the hearts of hundreds, Boomerang Sokka coming up with these crazy but effective plans that give Batman a whiplash, Avatar Aang greasing anyone who hurts his friends.

And the rest of the Justice League are terrified.

Actually you know what?

alta x dc anyone?

Wherefore Art Thou My(stery) Lady

When a failed attempt to let Chat Noir down easy ends with Ladybug learning his name, she does what any lovesick teenager would do: teases him mercilessly. Ch 1

Chapter Two

Plagg wasn't very encouraging when Adrien flopped onto the bed after patrol. 

“What do you think?” Adrien asked him as he handed over a wedge of cheese.

“Eh,” Plagg said through a full mouth. One crumb escaped and bounced onto the carpet. “She'll probably say something about it the next time you see her. Nothing you can do about it until then.”

“That was helpful,” he said as sarcastically as he could.

“You're very welcome! I'm glad you finally appreciate all I do for you.”

Adrien climbed into bed, still fully dressed, and pulled the blankets over his head. Plagg's reaction was a good sign, right? If Ladybug was about to turn him down again, Plagg would try to comfort him, so that meant her reaction had been a good thing? Right? Or maybe Plagg didn't know either. Adrien buried his head beneath his pillow and tried, unsuccessfully, to get some sleep.

He tossed and turned as bright moonlight poured in through his windows. He was too restless to sleep. Not knowing was driving him crazy. Twice he got up, determined to at least run another patrol if he was going to be awake anyway. But Plagg hid both times, so there was nothing he could do except crawl back under his covers and wait for the sleep that wouldn't come. 

When he got out his phone to check the time, Plagg grumbled loudly about the light from where he was perched on Adrien's pillow and threatened to hide again. Two hours. He'd been home for two hours already. What was Ladybug doing? Was she sleeping peacefully? Was she planning how she was going to let him down easily? 

He was about to put the phone away when he got a text message from an unfamiliar number. 

??? – I can't believe this! It's so obvious!

That sounded like the middle of someone’s conversation.

Adrien – I think you have the wrong number. ??? – Sorry, Adrien. I hope I'm not waking you up, but I really have to talk to you.

Okay, so it was the right number. This was hopefully someone he knew. But why didn't he have their phone number if they had his?

Adrien – Okay... Who is this? What's obvious? ??? – That you're Adrien! I can't believe I didn't see it before!  ??? – Or should I say Ch--

His heart flipped. Someone knew his secret. They were going to blackmail him, and he was the perfect target. 

??? – Wait. Are you alone? There's no one reading over your shoulder, right? Adrien – Who is this? ??? – Wait.  ??? – Don't you have me in your contacts already? Adrien – Noooo?

“Plagg,” he hissed. Plagg didn’t respond, still fast asleep. His mind was racing. He should know who this was, which was a good sign. And they didn’t want to leak his identity, at least not immediately. That– that was also a good sign, right? His hands were sweaty on his phone from clutching it so hard.

Adrien – Who are you? ??? – Wow.  ??? – I had to psych myself up all night for this stupid text.  ??? – And I didn't even manage to give you my secret identity like I'd planned on.

There was a gasp, and it took him a second to realize it was his. Secret identity? It couldn't be.

??? – That's what happens when I take the coward's way! I could have just come over. ??? – But I had it all planned out. You’d know I knew who you were, and my real name would be right there in your contacts, and I wouldn’t have to confess anything to your face.  ??? – It was going to be great, Adrien!

Another three dots appeared. She wasn’t done talking to him yet.

??? – I probably kept you up worrying. I'm sorry. I should have said something immediately. ??? – I'm probably not making sense right now either. Sorry.

The messages flashed across the screen at an impressive speed. Adrien didn't even try to answer them. Was that really Ladybug? It had to be. And she knew who he was, which meant that he'd really been the “other” boy after all. The dread he’d felt all night was replaced with tingling anticipation.

He had to check. 

Adrien – My Lady? ??? – Hey, Kitty. ??? – ❤️

“Plagg!” he yelled. That got the kwami’s attention.

“Seriously, kid? I'm trying to sleep!”

“Look! Look look look! She loves me!” He thrust the phone in the kwami's face, but Plagg howled and flew off, yelling something about teenagers and idiots.

Adrien – I love you! So who are you really?!

He added a name to her contact while he waited for her response. The despair that had been pressing on him for days had completely evaporated in seconds. He wasn't even tired anymore. He was the boy!

Before she was able to type a response, he’d changed her contact name. Her response left him baffled.

My Lady – … My Lady – …

He stared at the two ellipses. Maybe… he shouldn’t have asked her for her name so quickly. Was she too nervous to tell him? Did she not want to at all?

Adrien – What’s wrong? My Lady – You don't know who I am yet. Hmmm... Adrien – Ladybug? My Lady – There are possibilities now. Adrien – Yeah, like the possibility of me asking you out. Probability, 100%. What do you say? My Lady – I was talking about the possibility of me teasing you. Probability, 200%.  My Lady – Also, yes. I would love to! Adrien – Really?!

He wasn't entirely sure he was awake at this point. It seemed much more likely that he'd fallen asleep and was having a very strange dream in which Ladybug was admitting her feelings for him. (It wouldn't have been the first time he'd had one, but they’d never involved texting before.)

The rest of the house was dark and quiet, but his phone screen lit up again.

My Lady – Really! But– Adrien – !!! My Lady – You have to guess who I am first. Adrien – That's not fair! My Lady – :p  My Lady – I'm someone you know from school. There's your only hint. Good night! My Lady – And for the record, I love you too.

She didn't text again. (If this wasn’t a dream and that message was still on his phone in the morning, he was going to print it out and frame it.)

He read through the whole conversation once again. There was one hint that she hadn't realized she'd given him. They were close enough to have each other's phone numbers, and close enough that she was surprised he didn't have hers. He was supposed to have it already. 

She was so much closer than he'd ever realized. 

Ch 3

---

Author’s note: It is important for you to know that I started this story years and years ago. Like, season one or two is when I had the idea. She got the phone number from Alya, but we didn’t see her talking on the phone with Adrien until after I started writing. So she had his number but he didn’t have hers!

@mlbigbang

[felinetteagain]

Two friends, one secret. A battle between two best friends. Who is capable of betraying? Who will leave in difficult times? Or maybe both are capable of this?

Let’s start with Alya, who inspired confidence the most. The first time I doubted her was in episode (425) after she refused to help Marinette, who with all her might did not want to let Adrien go on a trip. Instead of supporting her friend, even if it was crazy, Alya, along with the rest of her friends, began to criticize Marinette for her obsession with Adrien. For this reason, Marinette decided to act on her own and made many mistakes.

The second point that made me doubt was Alia's irresponsible behavior, namely the fact that Alia told her boyfriend Nino that she was a superhero. Referring to the fact that she cannot hide anything from her boyfriend.

By the way, she also told Nino back in season 1 that Marinette was in love with Adrien.

Repeatedly we noticed how Alya found herself on Lila’s side, absolutely not listening to Marinette’s opinion; she explained her position by saying that Marinette was simply jealous of Lila. I understand that blindly believing everything a friend says or believes is not right, but not supporting, not listening, and also taking the opposite position is definitely not a sign of sincere and devoted friendship.

Kagami Tsurugi. My attitude towards this girl, Marinette’s friend, has always given me a double feeling. Sometimes Kagami evoked feelings of compassion and sympathy in me. I could understand her loneliness and melancholy. But behind this problem one could clearly feel its coldness, severity, and cruelty.

I understood that in the event of bitter resentment or defeat, Kagami would not be able to cope with her anger adequately. This anger will be followed by all her hidden vices. For the sake of her goal, Kagami is ready to do anything, including betrayal. This has been confirmed more than once. Consider the episode “Oni Chan” for example.

After akumatization, Kagami had a goal to destroy her rival. But after Lila offered a deal. If Lila leaves Adrien alone, Kagami destroys the Lady Bug. Please note this was not done under pressure from Hawkmoth, but only for the sake of her goal - Adrien. Kagami is ready to destroy anyone. The tandem of Lila and Kagami is very dangerous. Lila is manipulative. Kagami takes revenge in cold blood.

Unlike Alya, who cannot hide anything from her boyfriend, Kagami can, but only when she does not see her benefit in it. These words are confirmed by the episode (524) where Kagami, without thinking about the consequences, told Felix someone else’s secret. To the person who recently deprived Ladybug of almost all her talismans and destroyed Kagami’s mother.

Alya and Kagami know Marinette’s main secret. Should we be afraid of such friends? My answer is yes.

[gh0stsp1d3r]

im sO with you!!! there’s such a lack of ladybug fics soooo

ladybug x f!reader smut that takes place during bullet train?

honestly all i request is some dirrrty smut w/ my love <33 go crazy

Warnings- Smut, established relationship, praise kink, Oral (M), getting caught

Lovebug

“C’mon lovebug.” You teased with a smirk.

“I told you to not call me that.” He mumbled as you grabbed his hand and led him to the bathroom.

“It’s a nice bathroom.” You said, looking around. It wasn’t like the other dirty ones in America.

“And hey, there’s no pee on the floor! How amazing.” He said.

“So, uh, now we wait I guess?”

“I guess.” You shrugged, you sat down and he sat down next to you.

It was odd having your husband of a few years as your partner in crime, but it also meant hot, steamy sex whenever you were alone. It was no different this time.

It started with small glances, as you scrolled on your phone.

But that got boring quickly. So you got off your phone and noticed him staring.

“Got a staring problem, lovebug?”

“A little bit.” He said, deciding to be a bit bold.

Whenever you and him did have sex, it was loving. He was a sweet guy, the sweetest. You were glad to have him, and he was more than happy to have you.

That resulted in a make out session for a few minutes, you on top of him, his back against the floor.

He groaned, and you could feel his hard on growing.

He decided to be quick with it, you both removed your clothes as someone knocked on the door.

“Occupied!” You both said at the same time.

You met his eyes and laughed quietly at the fact that you both just said it at the same time, and whoever was outside probably knew what’s was happening.

He smiled at your laugh and you both kissed again, you in nothing but a bra and underwear. He just had his boxers on.

He undid your bra, he stared for a while. You started to feel a little embarrassed.

“Ok, ok, you can do plenty of that later. We don’t have that long.” You rolled your eyes, you got on your knees. You barely touched the waistband when he grabbed your hands quickly.

“Woah, woah, woah, hold it-“

“What? Something wrong?”

“Well, we don’t have a lot of time, like you said, and so I don’t want this to be about me-“ he tried, he really did but you were stubborn.

“You’re too sweet.” You laughed “I don’t care.”

“Are you sure? I just-“

“Yeah. I’m sure. Are you sure?”

“I mean… if you want to, I’m not against it but I don’t want you to-“ he took in a sharp breath when you took his boxers off and touched his aching cock.

“I just don’t want you to feel pressured or anyt-“ He groaned and just gave up. He quickly grabbed your hair and made a ponytail.

He always loved when you did it. He didn’t wanna make you feel pressure or anything, it was supposed to be relaxing for the both of you.

“So good, you’re- fuckkkk… you’re doing great.” He always tried to give you praise, no matter what.

He tried to be quiet, and as soon as he felt he was about to cum, he pulled you off of him softly.

You caught your breath, and looked up at him. He looked down at you.

“I don’t wanna be done this quick-“

“Love, I told you-“

“お掃除隊！” a voice said from outside. Your eyes wide fed as you both scrambled to get your clothes back on.

(Cleaning crew)

Little did you and him know, Tangerine was right behind the cleaning lady. You opened the door for her as your husband hid behind the door, and when she turned around he sprinted out to be met face to face with him.

“Please tell me you didn’t hear any of tha-“

“I heard all of it.”

You stood behind him, itching the back of your neck.

“Well… uh.. yeah. Hi again.”

Writing Prompt: Cats will be Cats

Mister Bug thought it was just a fun toy, a bit of harmless distraction. But he forgot that it was still Ladybug’s brain behind Lady Noire. He had no way of knowing the crazy plans and schemes she would go to in order to catch the laser pointer dot.

i had a dream about Miraculous Ladybug where Season 6 was just some slice-of-life film noir.

basically, instead of whatever happened at the end of Season 5 (i gave up watching it midway), Marinette and Adrien gave up their miraculouses, and now everyone knows their secret identities. so Season 6 was just the aftermath of that decision.

Adrien's life is even less private now that people know he was Chat Noir.

he has to deal with Paparazzi when he's walking to school. every interview he attends asks him about his experience. how did his powers work. who was his kwami. did his any of his friends know? what do they think? is he still in touch with Ladybug?

would he have gone crazy if he was Chat Noir any longer?

and he hates it. he tries to be nice- he is nice, but he could literally just be helping some old lady down the street and everyone would say "What a hero!" but he's not. he's just a decent human being like everyone should be.

and now no one wants to be. no one does anything to be kind, or make the world a better place, because they rely on him to do it himself.

he doesn't want that. it was the reason he gave up his miraculous in the first place- no one should have the power to manage the entire world in their hands. the responsibility of mantaining the cycle of creation and destruction, handed to teenagers? something bad was bound to happen.

and if he did destroy it all, even on accident, he would never forgive himself.

Marinette... is in a struggle, to say the least.

she doesn't get bombarded by Paparazzi, she doesn't have to sit through interviews, and she's pretty much living a normal life.

excpet, she's not.

people expect her to be some God with the answers to everything, but she's just clumsy, boy-crazy, fashion designer Marrinette Dupain-Cheng. when she trips delivering her parents macaroons, or accidentally comes to school in her pajamas, she's met met with a lot more scrutiny than before. this was Ladybug, our Ladybug, the one we trusted our lives and city with? how could someone like her have gotten power like that?

when really, she just happened to be nice to the right person on the right day.

she didn't want to be Ladybug. didn't ask for it or anything. she only kept it because she wanted to help people, and she got to be a better version of herself while doing so.

but now she's not. she isn't Ladybug anymore. she gave up her miraculous because she realized how much it was interfering with her everyday life. people shouldn't expect her to be a perfect hero in action, because now she's just a somebody, and nobody's perfect.

she should have her life back now. it almost makes her cry in anger that she doesn't. why doesn't she?

so Adrien and Marinette meet with each other, unwinding on their experiences as superheroes, and the new challenges they have to face outside of the suits. Adrien is only Chat Noir, but Marinette can't be Ladybug. why is that, and how do they fix it? is that even their responsiblity, to change the people's perception?

they're not superheroes. they don't have the same responsibilities as before. it's not like there's a Hawk Moth to save Paris from.

so what do they do now? where do they go from here?

they'll figure it out together. they may not be Ladybug and Chat Noir anymore, but they're still a team.

I'll Follow You Until You Love Me

Inspired by a tiktok edit, the song Paparazzi by Lady Gaga and @olivia-anderson-fanfic 's Stalker x Stalker fic <3

Timinette One Shot | Stalker x Stalker | AO3

Within the privacy of her room, Marinette studied the murder board she had made of Tim Drake, which hung on the wall beside her bed. Her eyes admired the various pristine photos of him, fingers tracing his jawline in a gentle caress with an expression that could only be described as dopey. 

Connecting the strategically adhered photos to the board along with the yellow sticky notes— containing details such as his hobbies, favourite spots, and other tidbits of his life— were a bright red string, linking elements together whenever necessary. 

There was a Red Robin emblem pinned on the center of the board beside the name ‘Timothy Jackson Drake-Wayne’, a reference to his vigilante identity. 

Understanding the importance of secret identities, Marinette had refrained from scattering the Red Robin emblems across the board like she wanted to, which would heavily hint at his identity. 

That wouldn’t be good if someone were to break into her apartment or if the board fell into the wrong hands. 

The Red Robin emblem pinned on the board was discreet enough, merely an adorable drawing of a robin coloured in red. 

The need for discretion with Tim’s vigilante identity hadn’t stopped her from scribbling red hearts all over the board, in various sizes and shades of red. 

It seemed like her obsession with knowing every detail of her crush’s life only got worse after she moved on from Adrien. 

A trauma response to how despite being focused on knowing everything about Adrien from his personality to his schedule, she hadn’t accounted for how the Adrien Agreste she sees every day was all but a mask to hide his true self. 

His true colours had shown during the many lectures he had forced onto her about not exposing Lila and taking the ‘high road’. Looking back, Marinette had been too naive and optimistic to have missed the subtle devious gleam in his eyes when he outright gaslighted and manipulated her into thinking she had to ‘be the bigger person’ and not let Lila get to her. 

That had spoken volumes about the true personality of the supposed ‘Sunshine of Paris’. 

Marinette hated herself for how obsessed she was with Adrien. She felt like a fool for having fallen for him, thinking she knew everything there was to know about him when in reality she knew nothing about him at all. 

The icing on the cake was that Marinette hadn’t even known he was Chat Noir until she took his ring away, having had enough of his pushy behaviour and lazily watching off the side during the rare times he was present during akuma battles. 

It was like the situation with Kim all over again but worse. 

The several attempts to confess her feelings to Adrien have always gone awry and she would forever thank the kwamis for having dodged that bullet. It was a privilege she didn’t have with Kim. 

Marinette vowed then to do better, to take it even further. If she were to have another crush after Adrien, she would obsessively study their life, determined to know everything there was to know like a crazy stalker.  

It was what she did with Timothy Jackson Drake-Wayne.

Finding out he was a well-known public figure had only heightened her actions. Being a celebrity was going to entail putting up a mask, and locking away your true self from the media. 

It was what Adrien did after all, and she wouldn’t make the same mistake again by overlooking the famous aspect of Tim. 

With her hard-earned hacking skills, she hacked into government records, education, medical, banking institutions, and everything for Tim’s files. Everything. She had to know everything to know what kind of a person he would be. 

But it wouldn’t stop there. She bugged his room, and his office at Wayne Enterprise and placed a tracking device on him. 

She would know his address so she could watch from afar as Ladybug how he acted when alone and away from the public’s eye. She would follow him around, ever so ready to catch even the slightest slip-ups while taking care to be discreet in doing so.

He might be able to hide his true self from the public but what would a person do when they thought they were alone? They won’t bother to hide their true selves then. 

If that weren’t enough, she found ways to plant herself near where he was. With a little luck, she landed a job as his secretary at Wayne Enterprise, which gave her legitimate reasons to be around him. 

Within a day of diligently watching Tim, she had discovered he moonlighted as the famed vigilante Red Robin. With that discovery, she had enough information to piece together the identities of the rest of the Bat family. 

She was willing to believe Tim might be a good person based on the fact he was a hero, but heroes can be two-faced as well. Chat Noir had been proof of that. 

Regardless of knowing all this information, it wasn’t enough. She needed more. She had to have a conversation with him when he was at his worst. 

What better to do than to stage a kidnapping and talk to him in an empty warehouse hidden away in the city somewhere? 

Marinette wouldn’t hurt him of course, she would never hurt him no matter what. 

The idea led to her current predicament, where she was drawing up numerous plans along with backup plans and the plans for the backup plans. 

She had one chance to do this correctly, and with Tim being Red Robin himself with the rest of the Bat family to back him up, she doubted the odds would be in her favour even when she was the very embodiment of luck. 

So focused on her plans, she missed Tikki exchanging worried looks with the other kwamis.

Tikki flew over to her, a hesitant look on her face as she contemplated how to address her chosen’s obsessive behaviour. 

Marinette looked up from the several boards filled with kidnapping plans and met the gaze of her concerned kwami.

Marinette knew she looked like a mess. There were huge bags under her eyes from spending nights finalizing her plans. Her pigtails had long fallen out of their neat style, leaving tangled heaps of raven hair from the many times she tugged on it. 

Misunderstanding the kwamis’ concerns, she attempted a smile. “I know I haven’t been sleeping but I promise I will soon. I’m almost done finalizing the plans and if they’re done by tonight, I can put it into action tomorrow.” 

Tikki’s eyes widened and the other kwamis were speaking over one another in a poor attempt to stall the plan in hopes of the boy miraculously catching wind of this and having time to get away. 

“Um Master, perhaps you should reconsider. Do you think it’s wise to—”

“Oh my, I don't think this is a good idea. He’s a Wayne, glorious and famous! You should just demand for his hand in marriage instead—”

“Not that your plan isn’t sly, it is, but maybe take some more time to come up with an even slyer plan—?”

One voice in particular stopped all arguments. “Ugh, if Pigtails wants to stalk her crush, let her. I fail to see what you’re all so worried about, you don’t have this problem with cheese.”

Tikki turned to Plagg, aghast. “Plagg, you stinky sock! Stop encouraging her! Stalking is not healthy, and not to mention, morally wrong. I’ve never seen Marinette this obsessed, even with Adrien and we all saw how that turned out!” 

Marinette winced at the blonde’s name but it went ignored as Plagg rolled his eyes. 

“Don’t bring Blondie into this, he was still a good cat until his soul got corrupted because he wasn’t a true holder.” Plagg hissed, crossing his arms and looking upset. “I’m not saying Pigtails is going about her crush the right way but cut her some slack, Sugar Cube, she’s been through a lot and doesn’t need you yelling at her now that Hawkbutt’s been defeated.”

Tikki, to her credit, looked chastened by the end of her counterpart’s rant. 

Marinette felt touched that Plagg cared enough to defend her and she reached a hand out to pet the kwami of destruction's head. 

Plagg seemed to know what she was thinking and zipped away. “Yeah, yeah, don’t get all sappy on me now, Pigtails. You can show your appreciation by feeding me cheese.”

Marinette huffed out a laugh at his response, while Tikki wore a scandalized expression on her face accompanied by a shout of “Plagg!”

Tikki turned to Marinette, eyes softening. “Do you think it’s a good idea to go through with the plan? You’re already breaching Tim’s privacy and boundaries enough without adding kidnapping to the mix. Why not just approach him at the coffee shop he goes to every day? You can still have a conversation with him there without breaking laws and boundaries.”

Marinette’s hands tightened on the board she was holding, a twinge of guilt surging through her because Tikki was right. It was wrong to cross Tim’s boundaries by stalking him, but she couldn’t stop. 

It was like a drug, she couldn’t stop even if she wanted to. She needed to know everything about him so history doesn’t repeat itself for the third time. 

She remembered meeting Tim for the first time like it was yesterday. 

──────────

Marinette had been in a rush, the popular fabric store she liked to frequent was having a flash sale today and she needed to hurry or everything would sell out. 

But first, she needed her daily dose of coffee for energy. 

In her haste to shuffle towards the coffee shop, she hadn’t noticed someone bumping into her, knocking her to the ground. 

“Are you alright, M-Miss? I’m so sorry about that, I didn’t mean to knock you over! Uh, not that I was planning to knock someone else over either! Please don’t take this the wrong way,” a panicked voice made her look up from the ground and to the owner of the voice. 

Marinette’s heart raced at the sight of a black-haired boy with cerulean blue eyes. She was aware her mouth was agape, but she couldn’t seem to move as her eyes stared into his, fascinated. 

Although he had eye bags that could rival hers when she pulled all-nighters working on commissions, the boy still looked very handsome. 

Marinette thought he must be photogenic. 

“I can assure you, I’m not, but I appreciate the vote of confidence,” the boy said, his lips quirking into a heartstopping smile. 

Her face felt hot as she realized she said the words out loud and she stuttered out apologies but he waved her off. 

His smile widened, a happy gleam in his eyes like he had accomplished something only he knew. He held out the coffee cup to her, nodding for her to take it. 

Her hand reached out, albeit hesitant but she took it. Her fingers brushed his, sending electric sparks through her. 

She peaked at him through her lashes to see if he had felt the spark to see him with the same happy smile, only it seemed to have brightened. 

His eyes flickered to the fabric shop in the distance and back to her, the movement was fast and Marinette would have missed it if she hadn’t been so focused on watching him. 

“You seem to be in a rush, I won’t take up more of your time than need be. I really am sorry about bumping into you,” he reiterated his apology, except he hadn’t looked that sorry at all. 

He looked rather happy for having knocked someone over. 

His smile seemed to dim the longer she stared at him without saying anything. He shuffled his feet, looking unsure and a crestfallen look had fallen upon his face. 

“Sorry,” he mumbled, sounding genuinely regretful now as he moved to walk past her without meeting her gaze. 

Marinette forced herself to move before he got lost in the crowds without her getting his name. She needed to see him again but she needed his full name so she could ‘check’ he was genuine. “Wait! My name’s Marinette Dupain-Cheng. What’s yours?”

She had introduced herself with her full name in hopes of getting his full name in return. It could’ve been a dumb move as it was Gotham. The boy could be in a gang for all she knows. 

Judging by the look on the boy’s face, he seemed to think so as well. Though he didn't disappoint. The look cleared as fast as it came and the happy grin was back on his face. “Timothy Jackson Drake-Wayne. Only fair I give you my full name in return as well.” 

He offered one last polite smile before walking past her again, this time with a happy bounce in his steps, unaware their first meeting would be the catalyst of her new obsession. 

──────────

“The conversation has to happen somewhere out of the public’s eye so I can make sure it’s the real Tim and not just what he was showing because he’s in public,” Marinette sighed in response to Tikki’s question. 

The kwamis were silent. They all knew her past crush on Adrien had reopened old wounds and that she was determined to not repeat mistakes. 

Tikki was about to respond but Plagg shook his head. 

“Just let it play out, Sugar Cube. You know as well as I do that when Pigtails makes up her mind, there’s virtually nothing we can do to change it,” he said softly, his green cat eyes watching as Marinette’s gaze drifted back to the murder board of Tim by her bed, a look of yearning in her eyes. 

The kwamis watched her work in silence, with looks of concern, sadness and resignation. 

──────────

The next morning, Marinette buzzed with excitement and nerves from the prospect of talking to Tim again. They did talk daily, what with her being his secretary but today felt different. She would finally see whether or not his kindness and everything he did was an act.

She made her way to the coffee shop near WE with a light bounce in her steps, picking up his favourite coffee drink she had ordered via mobile. 

At the counter, when no one was looking, she slipped in a concoction she had made for when she couldn’t sleep into Tim’s drink, giving the cup a subtle shake for good measure. 

Leaving the serene ambience of the coffee shop, Marinette made her way to the front steps of Wayne Enterprise, just in time to see Tim exiting the car and bidding Alfred goodbye. 

Tim lit up when he saw her, and not for the first time, Marinette felt a twinge of guilt from what she was about to do. Maybe kidnapping hadn’t been the right way to go about it but she won’t back out now. 

Feeling cheered by the sight of him watching her with a happy smile, she moved forward, handing him the coffee cup. “Your favourite order, as per usual.” 

With her eager gaze fixed on the cup he had grabbed and anticipating his first sip, she missed the imperceptible knowing glint in his eyes. 

He turned away from her slightly, seeming to be distracted by a commotion happening from a distance away. Fortunately, from her angle, she could see he had taken a big sip from the cup. 

He turned back to her with a dopey expression on his face, looking at her like she had hung the stars. “Thank you, Mari, you’re the best! I know I can always count on you when my family cuts me off from my beloved coffee.”

Her heart stuttered at the way he was looking at her. A faint blush dusted her cheeks as she ducked her head with sudden shyness. 

Marinette watched him from her peripheral, waiting for the concoction to take effect. 

He moved forward like he was heading toward the entrance of Wayne Enterprise when he stumbled and she moved to hold on to his arm. 

Tim shook his head, trying to stay awake but Marinette knew it was no use. His eyes had started to droop as he struggled to stay awake, his hands clinging onto her and pulling her close, seeming unaware she was the one who drugged him. 

She was all too happy in allowing him to lean against her, ushering him away from WE’s entrance before anyone could catch on to what was happening and led him to an alley nearby. “Come on, you deserve a break anyway.”

He buried his head in the crook of her neck, Marinette’s mind going into overdrive at the action and his proximity, biting her lip to keep from squealing like she wanted to. 

“I’ll follow you anywhere,” he mumbled, his words causing the guilt to eat at her now. 

It wasn’t too late, she could lead Tim to his office in the Wayne Enterprise building and pass it off as him being sleep-deprived as usual if anyone asked— no, she had to do this. The hard part was already done, she couldn’t give up now. It was to go big or go home, right?

In the alley, she grabbed the glasses from her purse with one hand and put them on. Ignoring the disapproving gaze of Kaalki when the kwami of migration materialized from the miraculous, she muttered the transformation phase. 

She paid no attention to the heavy feeling in her chest as she opened a portal to a warehouse forty minutes outside of the city.

Everything will be alright, it’ll work out, Marinette repeated in her mind like a martyr as she ushered the sleeping Tim into the portal. 

It had to be.

──────────

Everything was not going to be alright. 

That was Marinette’s first thought ten minutes later after she had tied Tim up to a chair with a rope she had left in the warehouse the night before and bound his hands together with a zip tie. 

Now, she was on the verge of having a panic attack from her thoughts. 

What had she been thinking? Tim was going to hate her and when his family rescued him, they were going to kick her out of the city, or worse, put her behind bars for life! She can’t go to jail, who would protect the miracle box? 

She should’ve listened to Tikki and the kwamis. She was a selfish person for not having thought of what would happen to the miracle box if she were locked away in prison. How could she not have considered the consequences? 

She was starting to hyperventilate when gentle hands grabbed her, accompanied by a familiar soft voice, snapping her out from the beginning of a panic attack. 

“Hey, Mari, you’re okay. I need you to breathe with me, can you do that?” 

She took a deep breath, grabbing onto the hands of the owner of the voice to ground herself. She looked up to see… Tim?

He was crouched in front of her, filled with concern and worry for her. Distantly, she realized during her dissociation, she had dropped to the ground and curled in on herself, hugging her knees to her chest. 

Her expression twisted into one of horror when she realized he had somehow broken out of the bindings restraining him to the chair. 

“I’m sorry for kidnapping you,” she wailed, blurting the first thing from her mind and moving away from him like a frightened rabbit. 

She wanted to scream in frustration. I’m sorry for kidnapping you. Really? That was the best she could say? You don’t just apologize for kidnapping someone!

Tim looked dumbfounded, though he didn’t seem to be afraid. 

Of course, he wasn’t afraid, he was Red Robin for crying out loud! As a public figure, he’d probably been kidnapped for ransom more times than she could count. Her sorry excuse of an attempt to kidnap him was pathetic compared to the more dangerous situations he’d been in. 

When he stayed silent, she blurted out, “Please don’t send me to prison.”

He frowned. “Why would I send you to prison?”

Marinette’s jaw dropped in disbelief. Looking at him like he was the crazy one, she sputtered out, “B-because I kidnapped you! And stalk you. I've been following and watching you for so long, your privacy might as well be non-existent!”

He opened his mouth to respond but she rushed on, not giving him the chance. “If you don’t send me to prison, I’m sure Batman will, especially when I’ve kidnapped his son!”

“I tried to kidnap Batman’s son,” Marinette whispered in realization and whimpered, tugging at her raven pigtails in distress. 

Tim didn’t look surprised or upset by the fact she knew his vigilante identity. On the contrary, he looked way too happy for someone who had gotten drugged, kidnapped and found out that he had an obsessive stalker. He wore a look of pure happiness on his face as he spoke. “Mari, no one is going to send you to prison. I won’t let it.” 

She shook her head, unconvinced. What was he doing? Didn’t he realize he was away from the public? He didn’t have to keep up the act anymore. 

“Marinette, I’m being serious. Nothing is going to happen to you,” he reassured her, moving to wrap his arms around her in a hug. The happiness was still present on his face but his eyes had softened into a look of adoration as he looked down to the girl in his arms. 

“But why?” she whispered in confusion, blinking up at him with teary eyes.

Not that she wanted him or anyone from his family to send her to prison but shouldn’t he be more concerned by the fact that she had been stalking him for kwami knows how long? 

She had heard enough lectures from Tikki to be aware that her obsessive behaviour was unhealthy and warranted concern, and yet, Tim wasn’t acting how she expected. 

A smile tugged at his lips and she stared, captivated. 

He seemed to preen at her awestruck look, smiling wider. His hand moved to play with the ends of one of her pigtails, saying in a quiet but fond voice. “I know you’re MDC.”

Marinette froze, her lips moving to deny from instinct but he continued in that soft voice of his. 

“I’ve been a fan since you designed Jagged Stone’s Rock Giant album. Your commissions were never open but even when they were, you only accepted orders by referral. I decided to search for your identity then, but that led to an unhealthy obsession of digging up everything about you when I uncovered your full name.” 

It was silent as he let the implication of his words sink in. He had the decency to look ashamed for invading her privacy. 

“Your school records showed how you were once expelled, and the expulsion was retracted with no reason listed. Then I was digging into François Dupont, trying to find out the cause for your expulsion and why it was retracted. Everywhere I looked, it said you were bullying someone by the name of Lila Rossi.” 

His jaws clenched, a look of anger crossing his face but Marinette knew he wasn’t angry at her. He was angry for her. “But in reality, it had been the other way around! All her ridiculous claims were documented on that tabloid blog— the Ladyblog— and it was so easy to destroy her. I sent lawsuits after her and contacted every celebrity she lied about.”

Marinette remembered that day, it had been glorious. The downfall of the liar who had gone through on her promise to make Marinette’s life a living hell. 

It was the last day of school before the winter break and Marinette had looked forward to the break, desperate to get away from the glares and verbal assault her classmates were sending on behalf of the Italian girl. 

After lunch, in the middle of class, Marinette had watched with wide eyes as Lila was delivered piles of lawsuits from every celebrity she had ever lied about.

Marinette had always wondered who was the one behind the execution of the lawsuits. She hadn’t believed for a second that suddenly, without prompting, every celebrity Lila had lied about got together overnight to serve the Italian girl lawsuits. 

Until now, that is. Marinette watched Tim in awe, feeling tears pricked the corner of her eyes because despite them being strangers at the time, he hadn’t hesitated in destroying someone who was dead set on ruining her life. 

He was better than Adrien in every aspect. Better than her former friends. 

Tim had stood up for her when no one else would. 

And for that alone, Marinette knew she wouldn’t be falling out of love with him anytime soon.

“Don’t even get me started on the Hawkmoth situation. Yes, I know you’re Ladybug,” he said, causing her to freeze yet again at his words for having uncovered another part of her identity. 

She relaxed a second later. She trusted Tim. Besides, It was only fair after she knew his identity he was Red Robin.

He sighed, running a hand through his black locks, looking into her eyes with his blue ones. “What I’m trying to say is, it would be hypocritical of me to send you to prison for stalking me when I’ve been doing the very same thing to you.” 

Shocked by the fact that her stalking was reciprocated, she only managed a soft “Oh.” in response to his speech. 

He grabbed her hand, his grip firm, yet gentle. “I know stalking is… frowned upon and morally wrong, but I don’t mind you stalking me forever.”

He grinned, not hiding the happiness in his eyes. Although his smile wavered, as if anxious. “In fact, I’m ecstatic by the fact that I’m not the only one, uh, resorting to illegal measures to get to know his crush?”

Marinette squeaked at his admission, covering her red face with her hands. “C-crush?”

Hearing Tim confess his feelings made her feel elated that it hadn’t been one-sided. She was over the moon! 

He smiled, albeit shy and his cheeks were turning pink. “Yeah. With all the digging I’ve done on you, I feel like I’ve known you forever. I know you’re my secretary and because of that a lot of the conversations we have were strictly business, but I would like to change that. I want to get to know you through proper conversations.”

As messed up as it might be, Marinette was glad she wasn’t the only one with stalking tendencies when it came to crushes. 

With everything she had compiled on Tim, there were some things you won’t know until you’ve personally been told because not every tidbit of information was going to be on the internet, celebrity or not. 

She much preferred learning things about Tim by talking to him rather than hiding out of sight and admiring him afar like she was his shadow. 

With a blush blooming across her cheeks, she managed to get it out, without stuttering, “I feel the same way.”

He lit up like it was Christmas and still holding her close to him, his gaze dropped to her lips. “C-can I—”

Knowing what he was asking, she responded before he could get the full sentence out. “Yes.”

He wasted no time in pressing his lips against hers. 

The kiss was soft and sweet, filled with passion and longing between them. 

Her arms moved to wrap around his neck, pulling him as close to her as possible. 

If stalking Tim was a drug, then the kiss was an addiction she never wanted to cure.

“Oh my gosh, I’m kissing MDC,” he mumbled against her lips in disbelief, internally fangirling. “I’m your biggest fan, I’ll follow you until you love me.” 

Marinette flushed at his declaration. She could never get used to the idea that she might have people who are fans of her work, much less Tim being her biggest fan. 

“I’ll hold you to that,” was what she mumbled back before her thoughts and senses were consumed with nothing but him.
