#hehe i love chat noir shenanigans

[ebiartics]

"Is this some kind of publicity stunt?" one official muttered, adjusting his glasses.

"Who keeps pulling these tricks? We have a serious schedule to stick to!"

Chat Noir, perched on a nearby lamppost, observed his pièce de résistance proudly before being rudely tangled up by his lovely partner's yoyo and subsequently pulled down to the cobblestone ground with a grunt.

Said lovely partner had a not-so-lovely look on her face, "Chat Noir! What have you done this time?" she facepalmed her forehead, scolding him like he did this everyday. Which— to be fair, he had been for the past three weeks.

"Just a little pre-Olympic fun, m'lady," Chat Noir grinned, unbothered by her exasperation. "I thought the Paris games could use a new mascot since they won't use me!"

“More like you’re salty they dropped you for Adrien Agreste.” Ladybug sighed, "but seriously, Chat Noir— you're the reason we're all going to be forced to use QR codes to access this area soon. Stop trying to scare off the entire committee! You're worst than #JeChieDansLaSeineLe23Juin planning to poop in the seine!"

"You better not give me any more ideas, LB" he smirked, "or I might just join in on that one, too"

"Chat!"

In celebration of the Paris Olympics, I had this idea but I also have a test tomorrow I gotta study for. So, stay tuned: A Seine-sational Prank-a-thon and Cat-tastrophic start to the Olympics coming to you on my Ao3 tomorrow night! (hopefully with art, too)

Writing Prompt #1

I want to read a fanfic about Chloe Bourgeois not actually being the Mayor’s daughter, she was really the child of Marinette and Adrien. Now hear me out I know it sounds kinda cracky but I hope this will be worth it.

Andre Bourgeois, before he became mayor find baby Chloe in the back of the hotel.

He has no idea where she came from

The camera shows nothing and there is no sign of her in any database

Feeling soft-hearted he took her in

His wife and him get in an argument and both decide to adopt her in the end

Monsieur Bourgeois becomes Mayor Bourgeois and becomes much busier, leaving even less time to help raise Chloe

Mrs. Bourgeois decides she isn’t suited to be a mother and leaves to New York or whatever

Little Chloe who was 8 doesn’t understand why her mother left

That is until she finds her Mother’s diary

Before this Chloe was a sweet and intelligent girl who knew none of the hardships of life

She had two best friends Marinette and Adrien, with who she felt an instant connection with

After she reads the diary she realizes that her entire life was a lie

Her mother left because of her and the fact she is nothing like her

Her father completely covered up the fact that she was adopted with his powerful influence, so no one ever knew

Her mother would often spend really long durations inside when she is designing, so no one really looked into it

Chloe changes

She pushes everyone away

She hates Marinette and her perfect life and her perfect family

Then Adrien’s mother disappears

She finds someone who understands and clings to them

Her father grew more distant ever since he became mayor and tries to make up for it with material goods

Fast forward to high school- let's say senior year

Ladybug and Chat Noir has been around for about 5 years

They got better at lying and hiding their identities, so miraculous magic doesn't have to work overtime

Marinette and Adrien become better friends and she doesn't stutter around him anymore

Ladybug and Chat Noir become closer, but still haven't revealed their identities to each other

The Akuma Class is still together because plot logic

They were at Chloe's hotel because she threw a party for her birthday

Out of nowhere a portal forms

Out comes Bunnix, Chat Noir- and wait is that Marinette

She looks much more mature but still as beautiful as ever

Her face is blotchy like she just cried

She runs to Chloe crying

"My baby, my baby,... I'm so sorry I wasn't there

Everyone is in shock and incredibly confused

Chat Noir drops another bomb just casually going

"Mari, love, calm down you're confusing everyone

Everyone's like ????

She calms down then explains that a future villain, not Hawkmoth, kidnaps their child right from the hospital and then vanishes

They spent a whole year searching

Bunnix finds a trail that leads to this timeline

But time runs faster here and Chloe is already 18 when she would be 1 in their time

Meanwhile, Mari and Adrien are in shock

Mari: I moved on from Adrien and married my partner??!!

Adrien: But I only love Milady!!!!

The class: wtf Chloe isn't the Mayor's daughter

Chloe: That makes sense...

Everyone: How??!!

Marichat: Let's go home little bug/kitty

Everyone: What??!!!

It's forehead kisses anon, hello! Tho my ask is not about kisses or HCs, it's still all lovesquare.

I sense that we will see Adrien falling for Marinette and her connecting more puzzle-pieces to see Adrien and Chat as a whole, both before the reveal. And, logically, I understand that these are important steps for our characters on their own and for their relationship, and that their routes won't (and don't need to) be exact parallels. But, emotionally, I'm afraid I might be torn, because I want to see, for example, Ladybug's admission of feelings for her partner pre-reveal (yes, I'm highly inspired by one of the latest asks for you that mentioned this). It's not necessary or obligatory to make it all work, but oh do I want it.

The "I fell in love with you twice (and I'm going to fall over again for the rest of our lives)" imprinted itself in my mind and I just can't help but want it dahsfshsg. I think I do trust the writers to make the story truly satisfying and beautiful and strong. I'm just coming to terms with things happening in a way that I anticipated while also dreaming of other ways.

Just wanted to know what you think about all this. And sorry for being rant-y ^^

Helloooo forehead kisses anon 😄 (don't worry you're not ranty hehe)

To be honest I don't necessarily "want" a "I fell in love with you twice", I mean it'd be cool but I'm not seeking it per say as much as I'm desperate for post-reveal shenanigans before they date, and seeing them falling even deeper once the reveal happens 👀 but I do think that more than "oh no I love two persons what do I do" it'd be more interesting for them to be like "uuuh these..two persons are...being more and more alike... could it mean that... they're actually...one person...oh my god I love them so much" 👀 not that these two things are exclusive, but to me if they start falling for the "other side" of them it's also because they see what they liked in the first in the second and vice-versa, which ultimately has to lead to some sort of realisation of their identities (which I find more satisfying than just a conflict between "who do I choose uwu" or "oh I had fallen for you and then I moved on to other you" but that's personal haha)

However of course I can't lie and I'm like you, my big weakness is Ladybug falling for Chat Noir and if we ever see her admitting it on screen before the reveal I will loose my mind and become yet again a key smash machine 🤯 even if it's technically not "necessary"

If At First You Don’t Succeed by Leisey

T || 13,905 words || oneshot || summary:

The Taste of Sugar by Taitai83

Unrated || 4,129 words || complete (3/3) || summary:

She tasted like sugar.

That was the thought that went through his head the first time she kissed him. It was subtle, barely detectable but for his cat-like senses, a faint dusting of sweetness layered above the scent of her soap on her skin.

Her hair, when he nuzzled in to it after, trying to remember how to breathe again, smelled like vanilla. And maybe something like butter. Like home.

That first kiss gave him a taste. The second one created a hunger, and all the ones that followed in the days after that did nothing to sate it.

I GOT YOU FRIEND

Mouse Trap by @overworkedunderwhelmed

When a certain smitten kitten presents a new Miraculous to his clever classmate, the trap was sprung...

It was only a question of who exactly would be caught.

Listen I'm a sucker for multichat but also I just love seeing Adrien fall in love with Mari a million times and come to terms with loving the same girl who is actually one.

Multiple Second Chances by @thewritewolf

When something goes wrong with the miraculous of the main duo, they each choose a hero to take over for them while Marinette tries to make things right. Of course, with so many former heroes now compromised, they can't let old guardian rules drain their pool of heroes even more.

A Snekmouse story.

I love identity shenanigans and these two are just amazing. It's been a while since I last read it but it was one of the first I read when getting back into the fandom and I was not disappointed

A Man of Action (Figures) by Talik_Sanis

The first mass-produced Chat Noir and Ladybug toyline is about to be released to the public.

Alya is not enthused about the Chat Noir figure. It's a piece of junk, but he's just a side-kick after all.

Marinette is not enthused about Alya, Lila, and most of her class. Chat is a hero; he's no-one's side-kick!

Adrien is not enthused by the fact that his second favorite hero is never going to be turned into a perfect petite piece of posable plastic. Where is he going to get a Multimouse figure?!

And Gabriel is not enthused by his son's defiance.

Starts out as fluff, but it's really a story about Adrien coming to terms with his father's abuse and his love for Marinette.

This fic has just one more chapter and it's honestly one of my fave's for discussing Adrien's abuse via the hands of his dad, but ALSO there is some wonderful Adrien crushing on Multimouse hehe.

(RATED M) Mouse Trap by Queen crowner (Taitai83)

Several weeks after she rescued Chat from akumatization, MultiMouse has to make another appearance. Maybe if she and Chat can get past the initial awkwardness, they might find they're exactly what the other needs.

A MultiChat smut fic.

Listen I started reading this because of fun kinky times and it actually became very emotional and I love the interactions between characters. The smut is an added bonus but it's just a really sweet story. BDSM themes and there's a prequel that may not be be up people's alley, but you don't need to read that to enjoy this one.

ML Fic Recs - Love...Square? Hectagon? Octogon??

Happy Friday! I’m back with yet another rec list! As usual, I’m trying to rec fics you might not have read before, going off of AO3 kudos. You can find my other rec lists on my blog at #jennarecsml

If you enjoy these, please reblog so more readers can find these awesome fics!

The love square is already a crazy concept, but now with the addition of Aspik and Multimouse – well, there are even more fun crazy dynamics for writers to play with. And I love every bit of it! So, here are some of my favourites that play with the expanded love square.

this love is a tangled web by @bugabisous

When Ladybug and Chat Noir decided that they should switch things around with their temporary miraculous holders in order to throw Hawkmoth off, they couldn’t have predicted the tangled web they would weave.

Series. Snekmouse? Well, it’s the equivalent in that they know each other’s identities but of course don’t know that the other knows. It’s even more fun with them using different miraculouses, giving us Dragon!Adrien and Snake!Marinette. Plus there’s some multichat content early on, which is a nice precursor to the way Adrien falls for Marinette in this new dynamic. Absolutely great identity shenanigans in this one.

Bad Week by @ominousunflower

Adrien’s long and horrible week ends with a stinging rejection–until he sneaks out as Aspik and runs into an unexpected face.

“Hey!” a voice yells from behind him. “What are you doing—I—I mean, who are you?”

Aspik whirls around and finds himself face-to-face with…Multimouse?

With a frown, Multimouse glances at the jump rope wrapped around her waist. Untying it, she grips one end and weakly whips it toward Aspik. It flops on the ground in front of him like a wet noodle.

“AH,” she says. It somehow sounds like a question. “Um. An akuma?”

One-shot. Snekmouse! And then we get actual Aspik/Multimouse! It starts with Marinette trying to ask Adrien out on a date, only for it to go horribly wrong when she sees that he’s upset and takes it back and Adrien takes it as a rejection and concludes she would only go out with him out of pity. I feel bad for him but also it’s HILARIOUS. 

Me, My Best Friend, and Her Cat by @ladyofthenoodle

Ladybugs aren’t known for being particularly sneaky. Good thing this Ladybug has a fox in her corner, watching her back.

(And giving Ladybug’s love life a nudge along the way. Maybe more than a nudge. In Alya’s defense, Ladybug can use all the help she could get.)

Multi-chapter. Multichat (as well as Ladynoir and Adrienette). This is a beautiful Marinette & Alya friendship piece where Alya figures out her secret identity early on and helps her. And honestly it’s worth reading just for that alone. But it also plays with the love square in really fun ways (Alya’s a ladynoir shipper over adrienette), with some quality multichat content.

“I have a plan.” by @emsylcatac

Marinette probably should have thought twice before joining the fight as Multimouse instead of Ladybug.

Alya, suited up as Rena Rouge, wished she knew where on earth Ladybug and Chat Noir were when they needed them.

And Adrien really, really wished the two heroines would just leave him alone so he could transform.

One-shot. Adrimouse! Okay, this one is already pretty tumblr famous thanks to the amazing comic that preceded it. But I’m still going to rec it! Because Adrien and Multimouse flirting is amazing, the dynamics are fantastic with Rena Rouge in the mix, and it’s freaking hilarious!

For You (I’d Break All The Rules) by snugglebuttkitten

MultiMouse finds herself visiting Adrien Agreste on a Nightly Basis

One-shot. Adrimouse! There’s some great hurt/comfort here, and also a sweet and slow developing relationship. This is just really cute and I love the dynamic and it’s worth a read!

Second Chance Number 12,496 by @11jj11

Adrien, now wielding the Snake Miraculous as Aspik, has been stuck in his time loop of Second Chances for weeks now trying to save Ladybug, and he just needs a moment to rest.

Set during Desperada.

One-shot. Laspik! I think we were all gutted by Desperada, and this absolutely has a bit of that gut punch, but also I love the hurt/comfort here (although the hurt is amplified by the fact that he’s only like halfway through all the cycles, like DUDE.) 

The One Where Marinette Knows Who Ladybug Is by bifieri

Chat Noir wants to bring back Multimouse. Ladybug doesn’t. A little white lie told to keep him off her tail lands the two at odds- and Ladybug closer to finding out her Kitty’s identity than she’d prefer

fair warning I wrote this at 3 am and didn’t edit it at all so it’s very much trash but I just had to make this idea reality

Two-shot. Multichat. This one plays with the ridiculousness of all the lies these two needs to tell in order to protect their identities, and it’s ridiculous and fun and, as always with these kinds of identity shenanigans, leads to a reveal.

But What About Multimouse? by @trainsinanime

Ladybug and Chat Noir discuss his favourite topic: Bringing back Multimouse.

One-shot. Multichat. It works out well that Chat’s favourite topic is bringing back Multimouse because Chat talking about bringing back Multimouse is my favourite trope! Ladybug is such a tease in this and I absolutely love it. It feels so in-character and they’re so playful and it’s just fun!

Enough by @apopcornkernel

Adrien feels inferior when he notices a difference between how Ladybug treats Adrien/Aspik compared to Chat Noir.

One-shot. Laspik. This one is kind of angsty, but it doesn’t stay that way. I don’t want to give away too much, but the ending kinda punched me in the face and I desperately wish there was more.

The following fic is amazing and absolutely worth reading, but does feature sexual content, so minors beware.

I Dream of Mousey by @lyramae-archer

Chat is tired. More tired than ever before. How is a cat supposed to get some sleep when there’s a beautiful mouse in all of his dreams? A story in which Adrien gets some revelation on the love of his life. For MultiMouse Appreciation Week 2020.

Rated M. Multi-chapter. Multichat! Chat goes a little crazy with thoughts of Multimouse, and it’s gorgeous and hot af. @lyramae-archer does an excellent job of characterizing how Adrien starts to fall for Marinette after her stint as Multimouse, and boy does he fall hard. Add in some steamy dreams and an identity reveal and WOW.
