Chloé isn’t the type of person Kagami would normally bother with; she would (metaphorically) throw Chloé aside if Kagami really knew her.

starry nights and a light sky | T | 19794 | 1/1 | Auroreille | canon-compliant slow(ish) burn | Femslash February | 2/27/2021

Aurore has always wanted to be a meteorologist. So, when the competition comes, she's practically a shoo-in in her mind - but then Mireille comes along, and everything turns around.

the song stuck in my head (every song i’ll ever love) | T | 777 | 1/1 | Julerose | Getting Together | MLF Tumblr 500 ficlet | 3/18/2021

Juleka doesn't listen to lyrics enough.

Shooting Straight | G | 598 | 1/1 | Marigami | Archery | MLF Tumblr 500 ficlet | 4/6/2021

In which the knowledge of: a) Kagami doing archery b) my learnings from summer camp/Scouts c) the definition of "switching targets", taken approximately too literally

combines to form a ficlet.

shuffling the cards of our game | T | 4050 | 1/1 | Lilanette | Star Wars AU | Lilanette Week | 6/22/2021

Really, they should never have been rivals in the first place with such similar views on the world.

Through It All | T | 16177 | 28/29 | Auroreille | akuma attack | MLF Snippet July | 7/30/2021

Aurore and Mireille are zapped by an akuma that takes them through some doors.

taking the plunge | G | 1362 | 1/1 | Julenette | Canon Divergence | 9/4/2021

risen with healing in her wings | G | 3074 | 1/1 | Marigami | Holiday Party | MLF Secret Santa | 12/23/2021

The hero holiday party presents many issues, especially when Ladybug and Ryuuko are under it together.

moving on (moving closer) | T | 2293 | 1/1 | Marigami | Injury Recovery | 1/30/2022

a marriage of cultures | T | 3249 | 1/1 | Marigami | Wedding | ML Femslash February & MLBCNY | 2/3/2022

When planning a wedding, there are usually several road blocks. Some of them are easy to anticipate, like whether Marinette's capable of finishing the outfits in time. Others are harder, like Tomoe's disapproval of the wedding's structure.

what’s your (true) name? | G | 1543 | 1/1 | Feizoe | Fantasy AU | ML Femslash February & MLF Rarepair Month & MLBCNY | 2/7/2022

Inhuman is not an insult. Far from it, in fact.

been picking up the pieces of our hearts | G | 1036 | 1/1 | Alyanette | ML Femslash February | 2/10/2022

Alya and Marinette talk out their issues, and do more than just talk.

to face unafraid | T | 1088 | 1/1 | lukadrigaminette | boundary negotiation | 12/20/2020

Communication tries to save the day, at least.

Impulses | T | 1165 | 1/1 | lukadrigaminette | future fic | 1/26/2021

Adrien cares a lot for anything without a home. It's only natural that he'd bring home animals.

band the bright earth with new mysteries | T | 7943 | 1/1 | lukadrigaminette | fantasy AU | MLF Rewrite a Classic Event | 2/23/2021

The Forest whispers, and calls two to the throne.

A man tells his son to marry a woman, in the human town nearby.

Additions | G | 8661 | 8/8 | lukadrigaminette | all four are superheroes AU | MLF Jan/Feb 2021 Exchange | 3/14/2021

broke my soul in two (will you forgive my soul?) | T | 3533 | 1/1 | adrigaminette | ladynoir conflict resolution | MLF Sprintember | 9/22/2021

“I never thought you two would have something in common again.”

Chat Noir hasn’t been publicly seen since the defeat of Hawk Moth. Chat isn’t a villain, not quite, but there’s something resembling animosity between him and Ladybug. Everything is complicated, and she doesn’t know what she’s doing.

Four years since the last time they banded together, and this one over some young adults under an abusive parent.

She knows abuse is a sore subject for Chat. She remembers it, from all those years.

the cure to growing older | T | 1643 | 1/1 | gabenathemilie | pre-canon | Spin the Record | 10/24/2021

Wherever Life Takes You | T | 48910 | 6/6 | lukadrinette + marigami | pacrim AU | mlbb21 | 1/2/2022

Everyone makes the decision to go to the military academy for different reasons. Marinette for her family's financial security. Adrien and Kagami for freedom. Alya to learn to fight. Luka to rebel against his family. Nino to just go somewhere else.

A wrench is thrown in all of their plans when Adrien and Marinette are handed the jewels that lead to the Miraculous, a jaeger with a history of death. But will they finally best the person behind the akumas, or will they fall to the same flaws as their predecessors?

knight, pawn, rook, queen | T | 3315 | 1/1 | lukadrigaminette | enemies AU | lagoon valentine’s day | 2/14/2022

A chessboard has four sides. Reducing this war to two factions is reductive.

Ace Attorney Fanfiction Masterpost

All of my Ace Attorney fanfiction, now gathered in one post! All links go to AO3; sorted in chronological order from oldest to newest by publishing date.

Fics may contain spoilers for any game in the AA series.

our coming-of-age has come and gone | T | 2153 | 1/1 | gen | Edgeworth comes back, post disbarment

Miles Edgeworth doesn't come back immediately after hearing the news of Wright's disbarment, but it's a near thing.

Or: Miles meets a lot of people, and the beginning of the secret mission.

An Honest Conversation | T | 1015 | 1/1 | gen | Hugh & Juniper post-Turnabout Academy

Some mistakes you make for seven years straight.

Hugh refuses to let those mistakes define him.

in the mourning we’ll rise | T | 5177 | 1/1 | gen | Aura & Apollo post-Dual Destinies

They learn how to move on from each other -- seeing from either side of the prison bars a reflection.

attempted | T | 16600 | 1/1 | gen | Dual Destinies: bad ending edition

Simon Blackquill is executed. Aura Blackquill steals the hostages. Apollo never takes off the jacket. Athena and Phoenix abandon law.

And yet...life goes on.

operation: obtain bird | T | 1676 | 1/1 | gen | Kay & Blackquill meet

Kay’s never actually seen the bird. She knows it exists, though — the part about seeing feathers is real. And, of course, she’s heard about the prosecutor with a pet bird from Seb. According to him, that prosecutor’s scary, but Kay refuses to be cowed.

Turnabout Revival | T | 8695 | 3/3 | gen | sequel to “attempted”

Apollo doesn't really know what to do.

Has everyone he thought he trusted been a traitor the whole time?

the badge & burden | T | 1207 | 1/1 | gen | Kay & Phoenix meet post-disbarment

In which Phoenix gets off the couch.

(It's harder than it seems.)

death, reversed | T | 1423 | 1/1 | aurametis | canon divergence

In the reversed position, Death can mean that you are on the verge of meaningful change but are resisting it. You may be reluctant to let go, or you may not know how to make the change you need. You still carry harmful viewpoints from the past that may interfere with a new opportunity. Because of your refusal, life has stagnated, and you feel stuck in limbo.

In which Metis lives, but Aura dies.

adieu | T | 32957 | 3/3 | gen | Phoenix & Maya roleswap

When news of Edgeworth's arrest reaches the Fey & Co. Law Office, Phoenix insists they should visit him.

But when Mia doesn't take the case, what else can they do?

After all, Maya and Phoenix aren't lawyers yet...but Maya just took the bar exam.

a legacy of lies (an inheritance of faith) | T | 6126 | 5/10 | gen | post-Spirit of Justice Rayfa character study

A year, give or take.

That's how long the doctors say Amara has to live. Rayfa's not prepared to come to terms with her mother's death; she's not prepared to be queen.

it’s criminal, really | T | 1574 | 1/1 | gen | post-Trials & Tribulations Iris

Jail.

After what she did, it's the least she can do. She'll have her freedom in due time -- and it's not like this is much different from the temple.

Five conversations from Iris's time in prison.

all your freedom, caffeine (how you’re looking at me) | T | 1138 | 1/1 | lanamia + miego | no DL-6 AU + lanamia roleswap

Mia Fey becomes a prosecutor to ensure criminals are caught. 

for in this river all is found | T | 2684 | 1/1 | klapollo | urban fantasy AU

Apollo's baby blanket is uncovered from a box by Datz.

It changes everything.

history repeats itself | T | 3585 | 1/1 | gen | post-3-4 canon divergence

If two can only keep a secret if one is dead, then Miles Edgeworth doesn't have the best of odds surviving this.

None of them do.

stop and smell the flowers | T | 1174 | 1/1 | junithena | first date

Athena and Juniper go on a hike.

a change in our internal law | T | 10896 | 3/30 | klapollo | roleswap

Seven years ago, a foreign teenage prosecutor by the name of Apollo Justice accuses Phoenix Wright of forging evidence...and gets him disbarred in the process.

In the present day, Klavier Gavin, defense attorney and lead singer of the Gavinners, prepares to handle the case of Shadi Smith's murder...defending none other than Phoenix Wright.

the most beautiful of flowers (the deadliest of thorns) | T | 4898 | 1/1 | feenris | flowersverse

"If I had found out she was planning to kill you...I would have done whatever was necessary to stop her."

Iris does what it takes. Phoenix grapples with the consequences.

cross swords again | T | 2532 | 1/1 | gen | Barok & Ryuunosuke swordfight

Ryuunosuke steels himself. “Lord van Zieks, please be frank with me. Why have you come here? I am, as you so succinctly put it, in my own coffin. Why spend your time with a has-been defence attorney from an empire you claim to despise?”

“Why indeed,” van Zieks remarks. “I know not myself. Frankly, I am intrigued by you, Mr. Naruhodo. I find myself wanting to cross swords again with you. No one is as…spirited in their defence as you. I…am here to propose another method of crossing swords.” He reaches towards the sabre at his waist. “I am requesting a duel with you, Mr. Naruhodo.”

Set between 1-5 and 2-3.

in defense of a killer | T | 2798 | 1/1 | gen | flowersverse

Iris's trial for the murder of Dahlia Hawthorne is next Monday. Mia can't absolve her of the crime, but she can do her best to mitigate the punishment.

rest (it’s all over now) | G | 1048 | 1/1 | gen | post-turnabout for tomorrow h/c

In the wake of the trial, Apollo and Athena cry together.

all this late night talking | T | 2830 | 1/1 | miego | canon compliant

Five times Diego woke Mia up in the office, and one time she woke him up.

the quest for various truths (and universe domination) | T | 1018 | 1/1 | gen | waa shenanigans

The ability to tell when people are lying is useful in their line of work, but sometimes it's a hindrance, especially since for Apollo and Athena they can't really stop it.

hopes for the future | T | 1109 | 1/1 | gen | Mia and Phoenix post-AA4

“You’re going to be fine,” Mia says. “From what I’ve heard, you have a very capable junior now.”

“Yeah,” he says, swallowing. “I’m the boss now.”

Facing Mia right here, right now — it makes him feel like he’s in his twenties again. Like Maya’s going to come out of nowhere and tackle him with a hug, and he’s still in that cheap suit with a badge pinned to his lapel, a tiny burst of sunlight.

“Do you want to meet him?” Phoenix offers.

Mia nods.

overwhelmed by (love for) you | T | 1576 | 1/1 | asoryuu | pre-canon fluff

“Naruhodo Ryunosuke,” Asogi says, sheathing his katana and falling to one knee, “I will not stop until I have mastered your techniques!”

In the year between the speech competition and Ryunosuke's trial, the two grow close.

procedural meeting | T | 1225 | 1/1 | gen | Justine & Miles friendship

Now, almost eight years later, they’re sitting across from each other again. He is the Chief Prosecutor now, and she has not retired from her position as head of the PIC.

It is still not enough. It hasn’t been for years.

“I…don’t know that I can approve this,” she says from the other side of the desk.

“I’m aware of all the difficulties, and the amount of trust you must vest in me for this work.” He looks her in the eye.

the sweet scent of forgiveness | T | 3043 | 1/1 | feenris | flowersverse

Phoenix visits Iris during her time in prison.

Escaping Together | G | 2587 | 1/1 | gen | PLvPW

Phoenix masterminds a way for two of his friends to meet and bond with each other.

Or: a good puzzle will always bring people together!

Honesty | G | 1023 | 1/1 | Barnspellaw | PLvPW

“I don’t think she’s being honest with me,” he confesses. “I believe part of the issue is that I once worked under her. I do not any longer, not in any formal capacity, of course. But…I assumed she would be more comfortable with her childhood friend, and that you could tell me what exactly is going on.”

“I don’t,” she says. “I don’t need to know, necessarily. She’s never been particularly open, though I think you know that better than I do.”

i learn to dance again (with you at my side) | T | 2984 | 1/1 | Fradrian | SYG getting together

Franziska is forced by an injury to take some time off from her work with Interpol. In the intervening weeks, she finds her footing again at a ballroom dancing class — with an old friend and resurfacing crush.

charting a map of our relationship | G | 2211 | 1/1 | Evespella | PLvPW

It's only been about a month since the casting of Taelende, but the holidays are already upon them.

All fics below cut!

fox and turtle | T | 1467 | 1/1 | DJWifi | post-Miracle Queen breakup (pre-s4 release)

Part of a larger series about the identities of Miraculous holders and how it impacts their relationships.

What are the consequences of Miracle Queen on the temporary heroes? This particular installment goes into those consequences, expanding canon - but not diverging from it in a way that is improbable.

in your arms, i find peace | T | 1150 | 1/1 | Lukagami | post-S4E4 h/c | prompt fill via @miraculousfanworks​

solace (n.) /ˈsä-ləs/

alleviation of grief or anxiety

and firecrackers flash in us | G | 1283 | 1/1 | Tom/Sabine | pre-canon | MLF Rarepair Month & MLBCNY

to tell the truth | G | 1191 | 1/1 | Feligami | fake dating AU | MLF Rarepair Month

Perhaps they're fundamentally incompatible. But that doesn't matter.

coming home to the family you don’t have (yet) | T | 2260 | 1/1 | Jagged/Anarka | getting back together | MLF Rarepair Month & Purple Noir Week

Jagged is, well, trying. For once in his life, he's trying. Some people take it better than others.

They were happy. But nothing lasts forever.

hr’s worst nightmares | T | 1000 | 1/1 | Mendelieve/Damocles | secret relationship | MLF Rarepair Month

They keep it clandestine, simply because there is no other course of action.

we might just get away with it | T | 2492 | 1/1 | Lukloe | spy AU | MLF Rarepair Month

Luka thinks he can fix her. Chloé thinks she could break him.

Which one of them will win?

as the world caves in | T | 1007 | 1/1 | Fu/Marianne | pre-canon | MLF Rarepair Month

If you're stuck in the same place as someone else long enough, you eventually get somewhere.

When Ladybug begins to fake date Adrien, she gets more than she bargained for. Or maybe they get exactly what they bargained for, considering that they're infatuated with each other.

(Also featuring: Luka and Kagami getting over their crushes, Adrinette being able to actually talk to each other, the shadow of Chat Blanc, Wholesome Lesbians, and too much mutual pining and not enough communication.)

headed straight for the castle | T | 24477 | 12/12 | fantasy AU | MLF January 2020 exchange | 6/15/2020

Adrien Agreste used to be a public figure. Cousin of the Prince Felix...and then something happened. Something major, and Adrien ran away from the villa he lived with his father in. The queendom of the Graham de Vanilys was devastated, but life moves on.

Chat Noir is a rogue. Nobody knows anything about his life, nobody knows anything about what happened that made him become a rogue. He dons a black mask and cat years. And nobody knows what he is under the mask.

Marinette Dupain-Cheng has been, from birth, trained to uphold the next line of Cheng assassins. She’s fifteen now - the age where Cheng assassins don their name and symbol. She has selected the mouse. Multimouse. She can be everywhere at once, silent as a mouse’s pawsteps.

In the village of Mirstone the two collide.

Rebound | T | 3714 | 1/1 | PRPR | MLF August 2020 exchange | 8/11/2020

“I was in love with you. Adrien you. I was putting off thinking about it until after I told you,” she says, “but I’ve come to a decision. I refuse to be your rebound, Adrien. You just broke up with Kagami. And I know that you didn’t really love her, you told me that yourself, but every breakup needs time for the dust to settle. I don’t want to be your rebound. I don’t want to be the person you use as an outlet for your feelings. I don’t want things to move too fast.”

Take a Spin | T | 1031 | 1/1 | akuma attack | MLF Fulfil a Prompt event | 9/5/2020

An akuma called The Captain is a more difficult villain to defeat than expected.

at the end of the world (you’re the last thing i see) | T | 3835 | 1/1 | fantasy AU | 9/25/2020

Marinette goes to the tower for her own sense of justice. She comes away with someone who will become her lover.

And then everything goes wrong.

my heart’s been borrowed (yours has been blue) | T | 1560 | 1/1 | identity reveal | MLF Anniversary 2020 | 11/7/2020

Chat Noir and Ladybug decide to get engaged. However, they still don't know who the other is.

You only hold me up like this, cause you don’t know who I really am...

been through it all | T | 1015 | 1/1 | enemies AU | 11/23/2020

Adrien and Marinette play a game of cat and mouse, chasing each other for information.

Ladybug and Chat Noir, on the other hand? They love each other, even if they'd never say that to the public.

best kept secret (biggest mistake) | T | 1870 | 1/1 | mariblanc sci-fi AU | Spin the Record challenge | 12/31/2020

So wear me like a locket around your throat I’ll weigh you down, I’ll watch you choke You look so good in blue, so good in blue...

a remnant trace | T | 1043 | 1/1 | recursive fanfiction | 1/2/2021

Marinette is left with a gaping chasm, impossible to fill and difficult to bridge.

If, Then, Who? | T | 1171 | 1/1 | Ladrien but Not | 1/14/2021

"So if I'm Aspik, and you're Lady Noire, who has the Ladybug Miraculous?"

back’s been breaking (from this heavy heart) | T | 1541 | 1/1 | sequel | Spin the Record challenge | 1/24/2021

We’re the kids who feel like dead ends...

fall from grace | T | 2037 | 1/1 | angst/toxic relationships | 3/4/2021

They get together over stolen looks, stolen dances, stolen kisses.

Thievery, from someone that claims to be a superhero.

Love is a kind of madness, is it not?

In the Spotlight | T | 3417 | 2/8 | theater AU | MLF AU April 2021 Challenge | 4/16/2021

"Oh, come on, Marinette. What do you have to lose?"

What does she have to lose?

It turns out that Marinette doesn't have much to lose by auditioning for the school musical - but she has so much to gain, including a whole new family, and perhaps even romance.

i know i can’t love you (but i do, i do, i do) | T | 1700 | 1/1 | regency AU | 5/8/2021

Ladybug was spellbinding, and Adrien just needed to know more. So he tracked her down one day, and found that she was simply a girl named Marinette.

Simply a girl, the daughter of a local baker and a more exotic woman. Their breads and pastries were of the highest quality, but she was not quite the kind of person that his father would ever approve of.

my puzzle lies complete (now that i’ve found the missing piece) | T | 1431 | 1/1 | fantasy AU | 5/31/2021

Rose stumbles back into their camp. She’s usually walking through the woods, foraging for resources in her own magical projects.

The prince, apparently, has found their woods.

too far from over you | T | 4119 | 4/9 | forbidden relationship | Ladrien June | 6/10/2021

Ladybug knows that she isn't allowed to have him, no matter how much she wants.

i’ll love you again and again (and i’ll lose you every time) | T | 5076 | 1/1 | immortality | Booster Prompt | 9/30/2021

"Rise," Tikki proclaims, hoping that the right body in the graveyard received the spell.

The person who rises is not Plagg.

Or: Adrien dies, and comes back, and lives. Marinette dies, and comes back, and comes back.

no phone, no pics, no posting us | T | 1329 | 1/1 | celebrity AU | MLF Anniversary 2021 | 11/7/2021

Marinette isn't ready for her relationship with Adrien to go public.

If everyone thinks she's dating Luka, one of her best friends, that's okay, right?

why’d I have to go and make things so complicated | T | 1733 | 1/1 | canon divergence | MLF Anniversary 2021 | 11/28/2021

Relationships are complicated, and the relationship between Adrien and Marinette has always been pretty complicated just in its base form.

But what if it were more complicated?

confidants but never friends (were we ever friends?) | T | 1729 | 1/1 | canon divergence | 12/25/2021

"Don't you get it?" Chat yells, voice cracking midway.

"No?" Ladybug says, reaching out towards him, but backing away at the last moment. "What's going on, kitty?"

and i wonder if you’d like to meet | G | 1045 | 1/1 | internet AU | 2/14/2022

Ladybug and Chat Noir both live in Paris. Within meeting range of each other.

It's time to come face to face.

pet friendly apartments | T | 1084 | 1/1 | roommate AU | 7/2/2022

In which Marinette is looking for a pet-friendly apartment, and finds Adrien.

give me just one day to ask her one question | T | 2799 | 1/1 | vigilante AU | 7/2/2022

The world hasn't ended yet, despite the Alliance's efforts.

Ladybug’s job is pretty dangerous. Not that being a vigilante is ever safe, but nobody has to take up the fight.

If he could ask just one question to Ladybug, it’d probably be “why?”

us against the world (like it’s always been) | G | 1003 | 1/1 | canon divergence

They lean on each other, when they have no other recourse.

but i settle for a ghost | T | 1007 | 1/1 | canon divergence

curled up in a grip when we were us / fingers in a fist like you might run / I settle for a ghost I never knew / superparadise I held on to

An alternate take on the fight between Ladybug and Chat Blanc.

All fics under cut.

everything the darkness stole | T | 1660 | 1/1 | surrender to Hawk Moth | 7/29/2019

“So,” Hawk Moth says, “now that he’s out of the way, I have a proposition for you. You’re smart, you’re the brains out of the two of you-”

“That’s incorrect, but go on - I want to hear what you have to say to me.” She’s standing up straight, and though she isn’t taller than him, she hopes she can exude enough confidence to match him in spirit.

“I’m doing this for my wife.” She almost falters with the confident facade. “The two miraculouses give you a wish, and I would use that wish to bring back my wife.”

“You spent all that time terrorizing Paris...just to revive your dead wife.”

“She isn’t dead. Coma. The hospital wouldn’t keep her, so I have a setup here that keeps her alive.”

“How?”

“Let’s just say that the miraculous can cause more pain than it’s worth, Ladybug.”

“I’ll help you.” She finds the words unexpected, but not incorrect. “I won’t give you my miraculous right now, but I’ll help you get Chat’s through diplomacy. On a few conditions, though.”

don’t believe what you hear about me | T | 1056 | 1/1 | Forcibly Outed | Bad Things Happen Bingo | 11/13/2019

"New Pictures Revealed: Is Adrien Agreste Bi?" Adrien grumbles as he reads the headline. "I'm not bi, whoever said that had the wrong information," he mutters.

Say you'll remember me Standing in a nice dress Staring at the sunset, babe Red lips and rosy cheeks Say you'll see me again Even if it's just in your Wildest dreams of our past - Taylor Swift, "Wildest Dreams"

Raspberry & Chocolate (Odd But True) | T | 1375 | 1/1 | queerplatonic Max/Alix | 12/3/2019

“Though your love may not be romantic, it is still true. So raspberry and chocolate, odd but just for you!” Andre served their ice creams with gusto, portraying his enthusiasm as he scooped the ice cream.

The two of them exchanged a look. Alix was still a bit confused, so Max took the ice cream.

sing for revolution, sing for hope | T | 5709 | 5/5 | dystopia AU | 12/17/2019-3/23/2020

The Peacock creates monsters. Creates monsters from the anger and frustration at this broken world. The monsters just break it more.

However, to defeat the monsters, a triad emerged.

The Horse, the Ladybug, and the Dragon.

changing my face (calling it fashion) | T | 2581 | 1/1 | characters reading fanfic | International Fanworks Day | 2/15/2020

Adrien sighs as he hits refresh on the page. He refreshes on a daily basis. It feels weird to see his civilian self in this category - he's seen a couple fanfictions centered around his civilian self, and it used to make him uncomfortable, and then Ladynoir was born.

Or, a commentary on the nature of RPF -- based in the Miraculous Ladybug Universe.

everybody wants somebody (except me) | T | 1385 | assumed relationships | Arospec Fanworks Week | 2/17/2020

5 times where Alix and Max are thought to be in a romantic relationship by someone, and one where someone doesn't.

When locked in a cage with someone else, you either become very well acquainted with each other...or come out with utter loathing between you.

(A divergence from Animan, though it focuses on the events of Oblivio.)

like a stricken bird | T | 1083 | 1/1 | aromantic Adrien | 5/23/2020

the truth of a thousand lies | T | 1257 | 1/1 | arospec Adrinette | 12/31/2020

The walls between them are more than just identity here.

Marinette falls in love with a boy who offers her kindness, yes, but she also falls in love with a boy who she knows will never reciprocate.

Adrien falls in love with a girl that is commanding and strong, yes, but he also falls in love with a girl that he thought loved him too.

Alix aspires more than anything to be a rebel.

as once I wept (if I could weep) | G | 412 | 1/1 | grief | @miraculousfanworks​ 500 followers celebration | 3/5/2021

I will not ask where thou liest low, Nor gaze upon the spot; There flowers or weeds at will may grow, So I behold them not: It is enough for me to prove That what I [loved], and long must love, Like common earth can rot; To me there needs no stone to tell, [It] is Nothing that I [loved] so well.

The universe is being threatened. Bunnyx has to get someone to save it, right?

climb back up | T | 4251 | 1/5 | sequel to fall from grace | 4/7/2021

Adrien wakes up in the hospital, feeling like a failure. He couldn't save Ladybug, pull her out of the madness. He couldn't even get himself out of the way right.

Ladybug is stranded somewhere in the Alps, trying to find her way back to civilization and hold onto what she has left of her mental health.

There's only one way to go from rock bottom -- but the climb is long and hard.

Taking Flight | T | 2120 | 1/1 | gender identity and coming out | 4/17/2021

Jess still wasn't quite honest when they went out as Eagle. They're not what everyone says they are, their desire to retain their heritage and their gender aren't mutually exclusive.

Everything is just so tiring...she needs rest...if she just closes her eyes for a moment, everything will be fine.

“What was he thinking when he chose us?” Chat asks, looking up at the clouds above them.

“He was younger when the Temple fell,” she answers. “He probably thinks it’s normal for kids to be expected to save the world.”

Because that’s what they are.

“Right.” He frowns.

Kenzie was a good girl.

came to peace with my path (got me off track) | T | 4393 | 4/6 | bees schnees/renorarc

Takes place sometime during that montage thingy in Volume 7.

Jaune comes up to Weiss one day in the cafeteria.

due north | G | 1113 | 1/1 | Raven & Qrow

Raven learns to trust herself quickly.

together we go (to travel through snow) | T | 9775 | 1/1 | bees schnees

Weiss Schnee lives happily with her girlfriend in Vale. But when the discovery of a new Dust mine comes up, Blake takes the opportunity to visit her parents while Weiss investigates on behalf of the SDC - the CEO normally isn't in charge of these things, but it isn't like she has anything better to do, right?

But when her former teammate answers the door, Weiss realizes that things are a lot more complicated than they seem.

day 1: first impressions (pride parade/festival AU)

promise me this | T | 2837 | 1/1 | gen (Qrow-centric) | written for STRQ week

Qrow doesn't make promises often. But he makes sure he's always reminded of the ones he's made.

Or: how Qrow got his rings.

don't want to keep secrets just to keep you | T | 2647 | 1/1 | Monochrome (imp. bees schnees)

Weiss has wanted to publicize her relationship with Blake for a long time, so she finally does.

after the war | T | 3977 | 1/1 | gen (Summer-centric) | written for STRQ week

Summer is stranded for thirteen years.

if the moon should crumble (we'll be alright) | T | 1630 | 1/1 | platonic Gelato

Neo means new, and that feels right for her, remade after being left.

Arrangement | T | 1122 | 1/1 | Spicecream | written for Spicecream week

Cinder is the only one she trusts with this.

to live and to love | T | 1005 | 1/1 | newspaper

Blake Belladonna has loved a lot of people over the course of her life.

jump in the water | T | 2201 | 1/1 | electromagnetism | written for valkos week

Pyrrha knows singing by the docks will bring her nothing but strife. It'll just attract the attention of the sirens that live in the ocean near Vale, and that does no one any good.

But she stays, and when one of them responds to her, she keeps going.

illuminate the darkness | M | 30418 | 2/2 | fair game | written for Qrow Bang

Clover awakens as Qrow is trying to get them away. "C'mon, stand up, we gotta run!"

And as they're running, Clover has the absolute worst timing.

"You picked one hell of a day to dump me, Qrow."

hope you're ready for a revolution | T | 1044 | 1/1 | aro!Ruby | written for aro awareness week

Ruby starts a club in her last year.

the dark side of what i've done | T | 3593 | 3/? | ironluck

The afterlife is neutral, but people tend to go with the people that align with them best. Clover, at first, is accepted into the other soldiers. But he leaves, eventually, discontent.

He can almost approach something resembling happiness...and then James shows up.

If it weren't for James, he would still be on Remnant. If it weren't for James, he and Qrow would still be...something. Friends.

help me leave these lonely thoughts behind | T | 1037 | 1/1 | bumbleby

They settle down for a bit, and relax.

(There are looming threats, but relaxation nonetheless.)

see the world with broken wings | G | 1220 | 1/1 | fair game | written for FGW

Something goes wrong, as it tends to do - but a lot goes right.

can we always be this close? | T | 1102 | 1/1 | fair game | written for FGW

After a tiring day at work, Qrow comes home to his husband, home for an extra day.

Wanderlust | T | 1801 | 1/1 | fair game | written for FGW

Dreams tap into the subconscious. Qrow taps into those dreams.

But he ends up in the wrong person's. Or possibly the right one.

all the words I want to say (I can’t find) | T | 1299 | 1/1 | Qrow & Harriet | written for FGW

In the fallout, a conversation.

Harriet asks a simple question with a complicated answer.

you and me (together through it all) | G | 1598 | 1/1 | fair game | written for FGW

Five times they almost held hands (but didn't) and one where they did.

your touch brought forth an incandescent glow | T | 747 | 1/1 | fair game | written for FGW

Clover had the cold embedded in his bones. Qrow reached out, and warmth leaked in.

the stars in your eyes | G | 1026 | 1/1 | fair game | written for FGW

Clover takes Qrow out on a date. Or something like that.

the day (is best for the honest) | T | 2031 | 1/1 | nora’s arc | written for NAW

"Night is for sneaking around when most of the world is at rest and all there is is you and nature. Day is the time of candor. The fleeing yet constant sunlight lighting most everything..."

A truth comes to light.

help me hold on to you | T | 1728 | 1/1 | taiqrow

Qrow and Raven scouted. Summer destroyed. Taiyang defended.

With those duties, he was always supposed to be the one that stayed.

(Or: 5 times Qrow left, and 1 where he stayed.)

take a break | G | 1303 | 1/1 | WBYJNP (in various combinations)

Weiss Schnee has a system, because two-and-a-half years of building their polycule and dating are certainly enough to get a routine going. She's got the schedules laid out, the dates that need to be done, all of the upcoming events and who's going with who laid out for the next month, but somehow she forgot that there were five weeks in the month this month and so she is here.

At her desk.

It's not very discreet, but if Ruby asks, she's doing homework.

Caught in the Middle | T | 3154 | 1/1 | bees schnees | written for RWBY Rarepair Exchange

Yang is, frankly, sick of having to balance being friends with Blake and Weiss. They don't hate each other, they're just both too scared of change to admit what could be between the two of them. Yang knows it.

And then, one day, she snaps -- and everything changes.

running like water | T | 4308 | 3/4 | bees schnees | written for TWC Mermay event

The ocean in Vale is different from what Blake remembers of Menagerie, and different from the frozen waters of Atlas.

Ninjas in Training | T | 2487 | 1/1 | gen (Blake & OCs & Ren)

blackbeauty ⋅ fics, analysis, and more i was at beacon when it fell; i didn’t even realize the ramifications of the cct going down. ever since it’s just been so chaotic.

transninja ⋅ site moderator hey b! I was at Beacon too, imagine if we met there

tell me to run (or dare to sit and watch what we’ll become) | T | 1444 | 1/1 | bees schnees | written for BSW 2021

Weiss looks down at the sword. She can feel its tip on the verge of breaking skin. “Are you…challenging me?”

searching for a miracle (will it be enough?) | G | 3700 | 1/1 | bees schnees | written for BSW 2021

Weiss is very familiar with tests. It was a test that allowed her to go to Beacon. It is a test that she is enduring now, one that determines whether she remains Whitewing or someone else is selected.

i’ll face myself (to cross out what i’ve become) | T | 10865 | 2/4 | bees schnees | written for BSW 2021

Blake vowed when she took over the White Fang that she would only direct her anger towards the people who deserve it.

But who is she to be making those decisions? She’s twenty-two, she would only just barely be a Huntress if she had chosen to leave. She made her choice almost five years ago to remain in the White Fang, to try and change things from the inside.

Who is she to decide who deserves to live or die?

-

When it came down to it, Yang decided to spare her instead of chasing her. And that was her mistake.

Not that Yang will tell it that way. It looks bad for her, and Belladonna really did move quite fast on her escape. She managed to get a shot at her, but Belladonna was moving too fast for Yang to catch up. By the time Yang got outside, it was as though she vanished, like the shadows of her codename.

-

“I hate him too,” Weiss says, and if her hands were free…if her hands were free she would do something. She’s…never been able to say that aloud before, or even anything that had the same sentiment as it. It feels strange, but also freeing.

if you bet on me prepare to lose | T | 4760 | 1/1 | bees schnees | written for BSW 2021

Blake was once a spy. She knows a thing or two about rumors.

motionless and absolute | T | 1844 | 1/1 | bees schnees | written for BSW 2021

A series of emails.

(i know) when i’m with you i’m at home | T | 3256 | 1/1 | bees schnees | written for BSW 2021

Weiss is the one who runs this time.

kindred spirits on the same pedestal | G | 1711 | 1/1 | bees schnees | written for BSW 2021

They aren't better than each other.

pardon my French | T | 1155 | 1/1 | purrha | written for rarepair week 2021

Blake speaks the wrong language when she confesses.

i just fuck things up if you noticed (tell me have you noticed?) | T | 1832 | 1/1 | Blake/Mercury | written for rarepair week 2021

She should've left when she had the chance, but if she had things would be much worse off.

Somebody's stolen the score.

The Last Season | T | 26749 | 30/30 | bumbleby | written for BBB 2021

When spaceship The Last Season is invaded, Yang Xiao Long fights to take it back. Except you are Yang Xiao Long, and it’s up to you to call the shots. Will you be successful in saving the hostages, including Ruby and your mother? And what exactly will you do with Blake, the enigmatic scientist you encountered in the gym before it all?

With over ten different endings, there are many possibilities.

Choices | T | 2413 | 1/1 | pre-schneekos | written for schneekos week 2021

Some people are more successful than others on initiation day.
