#maybe Amelie died or something and she wants her sister back?

[kehannii]

AU where Emile didnt die or get sick she just up and left, genuinely packed her shit and ran away from her kid and husband. She leaves, the media follows her for like half a year before it sort of dies down a bit and then it’s brief Emilie Agreste Graham de Vanily sightings once a leap year. It’s still a miraculous universe though have might not be hawkmoth. Adrien keeps a look out for his mother in magazines and tabloids for years before he stops and decides to move one. They live their life Adrien and Gabriel might be closer in their mourning. And then she comes back and Adrien wants absolutely nothing to do with her

[mageofseven]

I've been reading your stuff lately and I love them.

May I request like the bros' reaction when their kid told MC that they hate her and when the bro asked why they hate her the kid be like she gonna leave them too when they grow up... since mc is a human and stuff.. :/

Okay, I think you're talking about death here? If not, sorry, but if so, this is so sad 😣 It makes sense though. Once they learn about death, they might not fully understand it. That combined with hearing that human life spans are so short, maybe the kids would be afraid that it means their mommy is going to willingly leave them some day?

Lucifer:

Immediately angry with his daughter.

Grabs Ksenia by the arm and makes her face him.

"Tell your mother you are sorry."

"B-But she's going to leave me..."

Loosens his grip on her arm, frowning.

Realizes that the girl is just scared of losing her mother.

In all honesty...he is too.

"That doesn't mean you can say such things..." He says more gently. "Now please tell her that you are sorry."

He struggles with the same fear, but buries it deep within himself so he can enjoy the present with his Love and their daughter. Really hopes his daughter can do the same.

Mammon:

"Woah, woah, woah! Where the hell did that come from??"

"I hate her! She's gonna leave me!" Little Cassia starts bawling her eyes out.

Oh shit...

"Okay, none of that, none of that!" The second brother got down on his knees and pulled his daughter in close. "Your mama ain't going anywhere soon, ya hear? She's stayin' right with us, ya got it?"

"Y-You promise?"

"Ya bet. Think I'd lie to you?" He asked, feeling a bit guilty.

I mean yeah, his daughter is actually right...someday MC will be gone and that's that. Still, this girl is way too young to think about that.

Leviathan:

"Y-You can't say that!"

This man has no clue how to handle this--like at all.

Luckily, MC does.

The woman leans down and hugs her crying son close.

"I-I'm sorry. Please don't leave me, Mommy."

"Shh." MC cajoled. "It's okay. Mommy's gonna be here for a long time and no matter what, you're always gonna have Daddy, okay."

That jolted Levi from his freezed panic. He fell down to his knees and joined the hug, arms wrapped around both MC and Kai.

"Yeah. I'm always gonna be here, okay?"

God, thinking about a future where his Henry is not here...the demon doesn't even want to. He doesn't wanna face it. But some day he's gonna have to and he can't just shut himself away in his room when that day comes because Kai is gonna need him.

But will he be strong enough to be there for his son when that day comes?

Satan:

Steps in between MC and Amelie as the girl screams. She may be a child, but she still has the strength of a demon and Satan didn't want his Kitten to get hurt from their daughter's tantrum.

"I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!" The small child screamed, jumped, and cried. Each jumped cracked the floorboards under her feet more.

Puts in a lot of effort to remain calm. Matching anger with more anger solves nothing and the Avatar of Wrath recognized this.

"Amelie, that is enough." Satan said sternly, not yelling, but also making sure his daughter could hear him above her own sobs.

The little girl collapsed onto the ground and started kicking her hands and feet against the floor, breaking off bits of wood.

"I--don't--wan--na--lose-Mama!" Amelie screamed and cried with each heavy breath.

"S-Satan..." MC started tearing up at their daughter's words.

Satan took her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze.

"It'll be fine." He told her before letting go and leaning down to pick up Amelie.

The child kicked and cried till her father brought her in for hug and then she simply clung to him.

"Shh. Amelie, it's alright." The demon said softly. "Mama's right here with us. She's not leaving anytime soon."

"You promise?"

"I promise." MC chimed in, wrapping her arms around her daughter and kissing her head over and over.

MC's mortality...that's something her boyfriend wishes to fix. He's not quite sure how, but surely it's possible; Solomon proves just as much. Regardless of whether it is or isn't though, the demon did not want his daughter to fear that day or to give it any thought at all. This truth is something he wishes for only himself to bear, not Amelie or MC.

Asmodeus:

"Oh LiLi!" Azzy lightly scolded before pulling his son into his lap. "Don't say such mean things to Mommy."

"I-I'm sorry..." Liam burying his face in his dad's shirt and sniffled.

"Now what's wrong, baby? Talk to us." MC cajoled as she stroked her son's hair.

"I don't want you to die someday, Mommy..."

His parents' eyes widen.

"LiLi...that's not anything you need to worry about, sweetie." Asmo kissed his head.

"But isn't Mommy gonna leave someday?"

"Not for a very long time, baby," MC rubbed his back. "And I promise I'll be here with you always till that day."

Oh devil. Now Asmo is gonna be worrying about her eventual death for awhile. Later, his Dolly will have to switch to comforting him, but for now, they both need to focus on their son.

Beelzebub:

"Arsi..." The younger sister hugged her twin's arm.

Their parents just stared in shock at first. Why would Arsenia say she hates MC?

Beel frowned.

"Arsi, what's wrong?"

The girls both started crying and their parents immediately scooped them up, Arsi in Beel's arms and Anais in MC's. The two gently rocked their girls as they cried.

"Okay, what's going on girls?" The woman kissed her youngest's forehead.

Anais simply hid her face in the crook of her mama's neck

The demon pulled his oldest back a little to look her the eyes.

"Arsi, Baby Bean. Talk to Papa here."

The girl sniffled.

"We...we heard you and Mama talking about her dying some day."

"We don't want you to leave, Mama." Anais tighten her hug.

The couple fell silent. The two indeed talked about that earlier. They were talking about how happy and complete life felt...but then MC's mind wandered too far into the future and she voiced how worried she was about him and the girls when she dies. Though they don't know for sure, they've been told that their girls' lifespan will be closer to that of a full demon's, meaning that...MC's involvement in their lives will be such a small bit of time in comparison.

It was a heavy topic, one that they needed to discuss, but not one for their daughters' ears.

"Okay. Listen closely to Mama and Papa, okay, Baby Beans?"

Beel watched as the girls sniffled but nodded.

"We're sorry you heard that. Mama's gonna be here for a long time though, okay?"

"Yeah, Mama's right here." MC agreed, kissing both Anais and Arsenia's heads.

The ending will most definitely be bleak...but the present is a happy one. All of them need to focus on the now and not the far future, especially the girls.

Belphegor:

"Lilith, shut up!" Judas yelled at his sister.

It was too late though. Their mama's heart shattered and their dad was mad.

Belphie strode over to the kids and Judas stood in front of his sister.

"Dad, she didn't mean it--"

The sloth demon snaked his arms around his son and grabbed his daughter, picking her up before tossing her on couch, landing with a gentle bounce. The kids had been thrown on the couch by their dad and Unlce Beel plenty of times during playtime, but this time was different because their dad wasn't playing.

"You don't say stuff like that to your mom." He told his daughter. "Now what's your issue?"

The little girl crossed her arms with a 'hmph'!

Belphie huffed and looked to his son.

"Any clue why she said that?"

"Belphie, it's fine--"

"No, it's not fine, Butthead." He told MC. "They can't growing up thinking they can just talk to you like that."

He looked back to his son.

"Now, why'd she say it?"

The boy looked at his shoes.

"I can't tell you..."

"And why not?"

"'Cause it'll hurt you..."

Lilith's defiant expression fell into a worried pout.

The sloth demon raised an eyebrow.

"Tell me."

MC scooped up her son.

"Belphie, I said it's fine. Enough."

"Mommy, I'm sorry she made you sad." Judas mumbled into her neck.

"It's okay, baby." MC rubbed his back.

Belphie let out a long sigh before feeling his shirt be tugged on.

He looked down and saw Lilith staring up at him with tears in her eyes.

"We heard you tell Mommy that you're scared of the day she dies again...we asked Uncle Mammon what that meant and he said dying is when someone goes away and never comes back."

That dumbass. At least he didn't tell them anything about the first time...

Belphie plopped down on the couch next to his daughter and pulled her close.

"I-I don't want Mommy to go away." The little girl started crying harder. Judas started tearing up too.

Damn, the demon didn't know what to say. This...was a hard subject for him. Luckily, MC spoke up.

"I'm right here." She brought herself and Judas over to the couch and sat down. "I'm here now with you guys. You shouldn't just look forward like that when I'm right here...loving you three. And I'll always love you three."

"MC--"

"The future is a long ways out. Let's just enjoy today." She met her boyfriend's eyes as she said this.

It was obviously that it was just as much of a pep talk for the demon as it was their kids. Honestly, it wasn't really able to wipe away all of his worries but...it served as a wake up call to focus on the twins.

"You heard her." He pulled back and looked to both of his kids. "She's here now and that's what matters."

The sloth demon was pretty distant from his family for the rest of the night, mind stuck in that conversation. If only he could do as MC said and just live in the present. But he can't. He's so stuck in the past that he's honestly scared of the future.

Gabriel Agreste is the Sentimonster Theory

Ok, so we've all seen the Adrien is a sentimonster theories, but I got to theorizing and Gabriel is, in my opinion, the more likely sentimonster.

Think of what we know about sentimonsters: They're created from an emotion with a specific purpose. They are just as complex and have feelings like a normal human.

Gabriel is single-minded in his pursuit to bring Emilie back. It's basically all he does, save for a few appearances and some designing. We can infer that Emilie is in her coma/death/stasis because she was using the broken peacock miraculous. It's not entirely clear what broke the miraculous*, but we can assume that Master Fu dropping it in an area that was later consumed by lava could have broken it.

That's the problem with the senti!Adrien theory: judging by how long it takes Nathalie to fall sick from using the broken Peacock, Emilie would be dead much longer than a year if Adrien was a sentimonster. Not to mention that we have no canon evidence that a human sentimonster could grow like a normal human. But making a senti!Gabe would be infinitely easier because he's an adult and his appearance is pretty static.

We don't know a lot about Emilie, but this is what we can infer (yay English class for making me learn what that is). She likely gave up her acting career to take care of Adrien, and she wasn't in the public eye when she was alive (given that Gabriel Agreste superfan Marinette doesn't know anything about Adrien's mom). Her and Adrien were/are entirely dependent on Gabriel for their income and lifestyle. She definitely played a part in Adrien's childhood being the way it was, we know this from the events of Wishmaker and the fact that Adrien only attends school after her death. From this, I drew the conclusion that she was dedicated to keeping her son protected and safe through their wealthy lifestyle, much like the Gabriel that we know in the show.

What if Gabriel Agreste gets sick, and Emilie panics because without him she and her son would lose the life they currently have. (sheltered, priviledged, safe, etc.) What does she do to avoid this? She uses the peacock to create a senti!Gabriel with the purpose of keeping their family together and safe. The sentimonster learns Gabriel's mannerisms, abilities, habits, etc. and stands in for ailing Gabriel in any appearances he has to make. This would be very taxing for her using the Peacock miraculous, since she would likely have to feed the sentimonster lines during gatherings and such, which requires using the miraculous. But, if she caught Gabriel's illness early enough, it would be a seamless switch and no one would know any better (even Adrien). She would bury Gabriel's body quietly and use the sentimonster to keep up appearances.

However, I can't imagine her not confiding in anyone. That's one hell of a secret to keep. And I think she confided in her sister because of the events in Felix. Amelie wants the rings, that much is clear from the get-go. Which begs the question: What sister-in-law would want to take her dead sister's wedding rings from her grieving brother-in law? Family heirloom or not, that is one hell of an ask. Especially from someone who also lost their spouse recently. Maybe a sister-in-law who knows that her sister isn't really dead, and that she can control famous fashion designer Gabriel Agreste through them.

That's right, I think that the amok is in the rings. For one, they're something that either of them would have on them at all times. Also, they're referred to as the Graham de Vanily Twin Rings, and in Felix when Gabriel is polishing both of them, we see that they can stick together to be one ring. So, it would be possible to put an Amok in the rings. And, as we know from the Crocoduel akuma, when the object with an akuma/amok*** is broken/separated, both pieces have to be put together and then destroyed for the akuma/amok to be released. Meaning that putting the amok in the twin rings would offer extra protection for the sentimonster, because it could only be controlled or destroyed if somebody had the two rings. And the countless shots focused on the ring have to mean something, right?

Ok, you say. That makes sense, but why would Gabriel be sick and die? Well, Amelie's husband died around the same time that Emilie did. And Adrien and Felix look uncannily similar, yes? That genetic similarity would make more sense if they were double first cousins**, meaning that the two Graham de Vanily sisters married two Agreste brothers. And if the condition that killed Adrien's uncle was genetic, it would make sense for it to affect Gabriel as well. Gabriel appears to be in his 40s-50s, which is when a genetic disease would reasonably strike (since his ancestors would have kids before the disease struck, passing it down generationally).

Also, in the episode "Adrien's Double Life" Adrien remarks that ever since the disappearance of Emilie, Gabriel is a changed man. Now, that can be chalked up to plain ol' grief, but considering that Emilie's illness was present before her death, wouldn't he have at least been able to prepare for it enough that such a drastic change would be implausible?

There's a few more small things that add up a little too well. For one, whenever Gabriel talks about Emilie, it's almost always either a) about bringing her back or b) platitudes like she loved her family, she was dramatic. No specific memories, no flashbacks to their wedding, Adrien's birth, the film Solitude, or anything. Adrien's the only one who has a flashback to his mother, during Wishmaker. He also recalls in Feast that she used to make him laugh while playing piano.

Also, in Optigami, Gabriel knows that human sentimonsters can wield miraculous from the get-go. How does he know that? Even if he's taking a gamble, that's a pretty big gamble to take! Imagine if the sentimonster couldn't wield a miraculous, his whole plan would fall apart. Theoretically, he could have tested it at home, letting a human sentimonster use the butterfly miraculous, but Nathalie is incapacitated and also testing the butterfly miraculous on a sentimonster would lead to an interesting akumatization, to say the least****. Perhaps Gabriel knows that sentimonsters can wield miraculous because he himself is a sentimonster and wields one.

This isn't complete, it's really just a theory, and if anyone has any thoughts, feel free to add on!

*Chat Noir's cataclysm is the only thing known in canon to break Miraculous

**They could also be biologically twins, but raised as cousins. If Amelie or Emilie had fertility issues, and the other offered to surrogate, they could have decided to place one twin with each family. Gabriel could have died of something else. Or the Adrien/Felix thing isn't actually that deep and it's just lazy animation. Sometimes cousins look similar.

***As far as we know, akumas and amoks function the same way in regards to the objects they inhabit. I'm assuming that remains true for separated objects with the amok.

****Theoretically, it could have been done quietly, but I feel like that would have been shown as part of the planning (like how Optigami's creation was). It's also such a hilarious mental image that I can't imagine dignified Gabriel doing it.

#10: Felix, Part Two: The Episode Itself

Here’s Part 1

So, uh... here's the thing. I was going to divide this post into three parts, but I had to cancel the third part where I analyze the stuff involving Astruc defending the episode on Twitter, specifically a certain scene that really showed off some serious double standards in regards to the way Adrien is being written, because Astruc deleted most of his tweets regarding the episode. I wonder why he did that? I thought he wanted to expose himself publicly and interact in a peaceful way.

So yeah, instead of a big three-parter, this is going to be a two-parter, and I apologize for that. I might be able to do a third part if anyone has any screenshots of some of the tweets Astruc made after “Felix” aired. If you did, I would really appreciate it, but if not, it's fine.

Either way, let's just get this over with, because I have SO MUCH to talk about. My friend, can your heart stand the shocking facts about Season 3, Episode 23 of Miraculous Ladybug, “Felix”?

So we start off with what Gabriel does for half of his scenes when he isn't Hawkmoth, monologuing to his (possibly) dead wife, Emilie about how Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous will soon be his and all that crap. Sure, he's sent God knows how many Akumas after Ladybug and Cat Noir, and they've all failed miserably, but I'm positive he's getting close to his goal.

After he finishes cleaning his and Emilie's silver wedding rings that sadly don't allow them to transform into Ultraman Ace, Gabriel goes to check on Adrien, singing to a statue of Emilie (glad to see the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree), intending to tell him that he is Hawkmoth.

Gabriel: There is something important I have to talk to you about. I think about telling you every day, but I don't know how to find the right words.

Adrien: I think I already know, father.

Gabriel: But, how?

Adrien: I've noticed how close you and Nathalie have become. If she can make you happy again, then... as far as I'm concerned, she's already part of our family.

Yeah, apparently it's obvious that Gabriel and Nathalie are close or something, with how casually Adrien assumes they're planning on starting a relationship. I mean, it's not like Nathalie is close to Gabriel because she's his secretary or something like that.

Gabriel's response isn't any better, as he immediately jumps down Adrien's throat for daring to assume he might try to move on from his wife.

Gabriel: How could you possibly think such a thing?! Nobody could ever replace your mother! As long as she is still in our hearts, she lives on!

Even Adrien's face shows he's a little taken back by his father's brief outburst.

Part of me likes to assume that Plagg is trying to not break out into laughter at how crazy Gabriel sounds, while Nooroo is mentally questioning the sanity of his master.

Plagg: Wow! Your father's like a piece of tomme cheese, where the rind's so thick it's almost impossible to get inside the center.

Adrien: Don't be so hard on him, Plagg. It's been a year today since Mom... went away forever.

Oh my God, just say she DIED already! Why are so many kids' shows afraid to say the D-word? How can I cite an episode of Caillou of all shows as something that that actually talked about death to it's audience in a nuanced way?

It turns out that Adrien's aunt is visiting for the day, as it's the one-year anniversary of Emilie's “going away forever”. We also learn that the gene pool in Adrien's family is so shallow, a toddler could swim in it, because Emilie's sister looks exactly like her.

Even better, her name is Amelie. I bet the parents thought naming their kids Emilie and Amelie was hilarious for like three minutes.

And of course, she also brought her son, the asshole of the hour.

Someone cue the Imperial March.

So Felix is finally here, and of course, he looks just like Adrien. It's almost like the animators didn't want to create any new character models for this episode, so they thought nobody would notice if they just reused a few. Seriously, towards the end of the episode, we see Felix wearing the Cat Miraculous on his hand, and none of the animators noticed it.

So while Adrien is happy to see his cousin, Felix isn't. I'll talk more about it in a minute.

Amelie mentions that the wedding rings are actually heirlooms in her side of the family, so she naturally wants them back. Of course, Gabriel, being Gabriel, responds accordingly.

Gabriel: These rings are obviously very special to me.

Amelie: And they're very dear to me too, Gabriel. Those jewels have always been in the Graham de Vanily family, not the Agreste's.

Gabriel: We'll discuss it later.

“Yeah, yeah, these rings are priceless family heirlooms or whatever, but why can't you think about how important they are to me?”

Meanwhile, Marinette and her friends are planning on recording some messages for Adrien to cheer him up on this day, but Marinette isn't sure what to say before she decides to confess her love to him. I'm sure Adrien will get the message and return Marinette's feelings this episode... and Cliff Hanger will finally escape that cliff he's been hanging from for years.

Speaking of, Adrien and Felix are hanging out in the former's room where we learn that Felix's father passed away recently. We don't know how long, but with the way they talk about, it's clear the funeral wasn't too long ago. Keep this in mind.

So while Adrien leaves the room to get a chess board for the two to play a game of, Felix, for no reason, decides to search through Adrien's things and crush a piece of cheese that Plagg had been aging for two weeks. And here is the interaction that helps this episode go from mediocre to aggravating, just because of what they imply here.

Adrien: Listen, Plagg. Felix lost his dad not so long ago, he's probably not himself.

Plagg: I'm sorry, but there's just no excuse! You never touch my cheese, and yet, you just lost your mother not so long ago, right?

Yes. The show is actually implying that Adrien is better than Felix because Adrien isn't acting out because his mom “went away forever”. Keep in mind, we know that Felix just lost his father, while Adrien has had a year to cope. I'm not saying he can't be sad anymore, as everyone processes grief differently, but you can't set up Felix as a foil to Adrien just because they both lost a parent, as their situations are entirely different.

Oh, and when Plagg's statement upsets Adrien, it isn't because he's angry at Plagg for making the comparison, it's because he mentions Emilie. And this argument is never brought up again.

I still can't believe this episode is basically saying that even if you lose a loved one, that's no excuse to get emotional. This isn't just a horrible lesson to teach children, but it pisses me off on a more personal level. Why?

My grandfather died last year after a long battle with lung cancer.

He had been in and out of the hospital for a few years at this point, and part of me was relieved that he was finally free of the pain. I tried not to let it bother me, as I had already mentally prepared myself for the day he would die whenever he was readmitted to the hospital. But it was still painful to go through because he was so important to me. Instead of simply telling someone how I was feeling, I threw myself into my schoolwork in an effort to distract myself from actually confronting my emotions. After seeing A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, a movie where the main character made peace with his father on his deathbed with some encouragement from Mr. Rogers, it made me think about how unhealthy it was to bottle up my emotions, so I started to open up more about how I was feeling. When I told my mom (who was his daughter) about why I was so conflicted regarding his death, she said it was completely understandable, as she had been an emotional wreck as well. I also talked with my therapist about how this was affecting me mentally.

What does this have to do with the episode? I don't think Felix had access to this kind of emotional support when his dad died, or that he tried coping the same way I did initially.

And the worst part is that this could have been used to teach people a lesson on how to cope with losing a loved one. Maybe Adrien could have helped Felix find a healthier coping mechanism, or simply help him open up emotionally, teaching him that it's okay to be upset when someone close to you dies, but that you just need to be honest about your feelings.

But no, rather than portray Felix's actions as a troubled youth lashing out because he's angry at the cards the world dealt him, Felix does several awful things this episode for no other reason than because he's evil, even though he has a good reason to hate Adrien and Gabriel.

So the very next scene, we see Felix has stolen Adrien's phone and is going through the messages that Adrien's friends sent him, but not before insulting his crush on Ladybug. I'm not sure if that's supposed to reflect the fandom's criticism of Adrien's crush on Ladybug, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was.

Nino's Message: Hey, my dude! I'm not quite sure what to tell you, except that, you're my man, dude! And bros are always there for their guys!

Felix: (Mockingly) “Bros are always there--” blah, blah, blah! Moron.

Rose's Message: Unicorns have a saying: even when there's nothing but gray skies and rain, all it takes is one little sunbeam for a rainbow to appear!

Felix: Loser.

Max's Message: It's one hundred percent proven, you should feel fifty-two percent happier with a healthy dose of laughter. So Markov has uploaded a few jokes for you! Starting with--

Felix: Freak.

Chloe's Message: When my mother left for New York, I felt so sad. It felt like she was... (sighs) She came back, and I know how lucky I am. So, you can count on me, my Adrikins.

Felix: Chloe. Just as annoying as usual.

And that line right there is the only time Astruc actually liked writing Felix, as it gave him the chance to satisfy his need to insult Chloe.

And then when he sees Marinette's message, he deletes it because... hell if I know

Again, this scene could have worked if it was interpreted as Felix saying stuff that he wasn't dependent on others for support and that he could easily power through life on his own, but nope! Instead, he hates Adrien's friends and only deletes Marinette's message instead of all of them simply because he's evil, heart blacker than Don Cheadle.

Felix continues to show how awful he is by dressing up in Adrien's clothes and—Oh, son of a bitch, SERIOUSLY? This is the SEVENTH evil doppelganger plotline we've had in THREE SEASONS! You're telling me this isn't doing the same thing over and over again, Astruc?

Yeah, so Felix records some messages to send to his friends that, once again, could have worked if this episode was actually teaching a lesson about dealing with grief.

“Adrien's” Message:  First of all, thanks so much for all your messages, guys, really. Sending me messages on today of all days... (angrily) to remind me how sad I'm supposed to be feeling? Why, that's great! Really, Thanks a lot!

But because nobody ever considers how Felix is feeling, it's never acknowledged, because that would actually involve writing him with complexity.

Gabriel gets a message from Lila, who recently became one of his confidants to spy on Adrien, tells him about the fake message, and decides to use the negative emotions felt as an excuse to get rid of his in-laws. No, seriously.

Gabriel: All this disappointment might just help us get rid of our unwanted guests.

To be fair, I'd probably do the same thing just so I wouldn't have to talk to some of the people I hate at my job.

And so, Hawkmoth akumatizes Alya, Juleka, and Rose into the Punisher's Trio, who are basically just their previously akumatized forms Lady Wifi, Reflekta, and Princess Fragrance. Because why would you expect anyone to use an original character model for this episode?

All joking aside, this development raises several questions. First, why wasn't Nino one of the Punisher's akumatized? He's Adrien's best friend, so shouldn't be just as upset as everyone else? Hell, the whole reason he was akumatized into the Bubbler in Season 1 was just so he could throw Adrien a birthday party after Gabriel said no. Then there's the fact that Chloe could have also been akumatized because she's just as close as Adrien, which is another wasted opportunity here.

Second, why bring back Reflekta and Princess Fragrance of all villains? It doesn't even make sense when you consider their motifs are based off of the circumstances that led to them getting akumatized in their respective episodes. Juleka became Reflekta because of her anxiety over easily blending in, so she got the power to turn everyone into an exact copy of herself so they could understand the feeling. Rose became Princess Fragrance when Chloe destroyed her letter and perfume bottle dedicated to the prince of a foreign nation, so the perfume bottle was the basis of her powers. At least Lady Wifi makes sense as the akumatized object this episode is a tablet used to record the messages to Adrien, but Reflekta and Princess Fragrance have nothing to do with the plot of this episode, and just feel tacked on. If it was just Lady Wifi or the Bubbler, I'd get it, but this just doesn't work.

Third, what exactly is this show's obsession with Reflekta? We saw in Reflekta's first episode that her powers had a huge drawback as if either of the heroes is zapped by her, she can't get their Miraculous, like what we saw happened to Cat Noir. Yet, this is the second time this season that Hawkmoth had the bright idea to bring back Reflekta (even giving her a giant robot to amplify her powers). At least Lady Wifi and Princess Fragrance's powers worked together well (Lady Wifi could freeze someone in place, while Princess Fragrance can brainwash them with her perfume), but Reflekta just feels like the odd one out here.

Fourth, and most importantly, why did we only get to hear the line “At your service, Princess Fragrance!” A single time this episode?

So the Punishers head to Adrien's house to take their revenge, but see Felix, still dressed in Adrien's clothes, and are naturally confused. Adrien pretends to be Felix by running away while laughing evilly (so not too far off from how Astruc sees Felix), while the real Felix and Nathalie put up a good fight against the Punishers.

And then... here is the moment that shows just how skewed Astruc's view of Adrien really is.

Felix pretends to confess his love to Ladybug as Adrien, trying to force a kiss on him, making Ladybug punch him in the face by claiming that the real Adrien “would never be so pushy”.

BULL. SHIT.

Yes, Ladybug doesn't know that Adrien is actually Cat Noir, but it's clear that this scene is meant to solidify just how Felix is far worse than Adrien because according to Astruc, he would never do that.

But maybe I'm being too hard on him.

It's not like Adrien has ever forced himself onto Ladybug, right?

I mean, imagine if the show just ignored something like that.

All while trying to teach kids the importance of saying no when someone harasses them.

Can you imagine if someone was that oblivious to their own hypocrisy?

I'm not saying that the lesson is a bad one, but you can't call someone out for doing something bad, and then ignore one of your main characters doing the exact same thing!

Even in the context of the episode, the comparison doesn't work. We know that Felix is only doing this to make Adrien look bad, and has no romantic feelings towards Ladybug like Adrien does. Felix knows what he is doing is wrong, while Adrien doesn't. Whenever Cat Noir tries to kiss Ladybug, he is never aware that what he is doing is wrong, and while he is almost always stopped from kissing Ladybug for one reason or another.

Like when the episode tried to compare two different characters reacting to losing loved ones when there are different circumstances regarding them, the comparison DOESN'T WORK.

And to add insult to injury, Cat Noir shows up just to insult Felix by implying he doesn't have a lot of friends because of the way he acts, because why would he? After all, he's a complete loser that nobody would want to be friends with, and if you like him, you're an idiot for thinking so! At least, that's probably what Astruc was going for.

Ladybug summons her Lucky Charm, leading to a brief Mexican standoff, until Felix steals the tablet containing the Akuma, making a deal with Hawkmoth that he'll help out the Punishers as long as he gets the wedding rings. Do you hate Felix yet? Come on, do you hate him? WHY WON'T YOU HATE HIM, GODDAMN IT!?

This whole bit is completely pointless as Ladybug immediately finds a way to stop all four of them and de-evilize the Akuma.

And when it looks like Felix is actually apologizing for his actions this episode, it's naturally a ruse he put on to steal one of the wedding rings from Gabriel to give to his mom. Because why would Astruc even think of portraying him sympathetically, or at least have him learn a lesson?

So Felix stares out the window with an evil look in his eye (possibly foreshadowing another appearance), as Gabriel takes Emilie's wedding ring to wear for himself, and the episode mercifully ends.

It also means that I never have to watch this episode ever again.

Do you understand why it took so long for me to fully analyze this episode? Hell, it would have taken longer if Astruc didn't delete his tweets defending the kiss scene and how Cat Noir is totally a gentlemen unlike Satan, I mean Felix.

What else do I have to say about this episode that hasn’t already been said? Well, I do have one thing.

I’m not that big a fan of Felix.

I think he’s an okay character in fanfics, but I’m more indifferent to him and fanfics that ship him and Marinette together. I don’t know, maybe that’s because there are so many Felinette fanfics that are heavily seasoned with salt, or it could just be because I’m complete Love Square and Lukanette trash.

But just think about the fact that the scathing criticism of this episode was delivered by someone who isn’t that into Felix. That is how bad this episode is.

In addition to being an obvious mouthpiece for Astruc to yell at fans why they’re idiots for actually liking Felix, it does so by touching on delicate subject and trying to act like it’s easy to tell how Felix is worse than Adrien when the circumstances are nothing alike.

But the fact that Astruc takes a popular character just to portray him as a complete menace just to antagonize his fans is ridiculous, utterly ridiculous.

Miraculous Flash Forward Part 12: Exposed

Miraculous Fan-Fic

Written by

AJ Dunn

Adrien sat nervously in front of his mother and aunt. It didn’t help that Marinette who sat next to him with Felix on the other side shared in his anxiety. They had been brought tea but none of them touched it. 

“It is so good to see you, my son,” Emelie said in a gentle but gleeful tone. “I know this must be hard for you with everything you had to endure while I was asleep.” 

“Asleep?” He furrowed his brow. “I mourned you,” he said sharply.

“Don’t blame your mother for what your father did.” Amalie snapped. 

“Did he make you sick too?” He retorted.

“You remember that?” Emelie’s eyes showed her genuine surprise. “No, he didn’t make me sick. After the Yacht accident, I…”

“You mean the yacht accident that killed our sisters?” Felix tossed in. Emilie’s eyes shot to Amelie’s. 

“You told them?” Emelie looked angry.

“They found out at the hospital,” Amelie whispered back. “I told you that.” 

“About the girls?” Emelie asked quietly

“Of course not, we promised.” Amelie’s eyes looked shocked.

“How is it we don’t remember them?” Adrien asked. “I was there that day, how do I not remember?”

“You what?” Amalie laughed. “You were here with me silly, the day they went missing.” Emelie cast an angry grasp.

“Shut up.” Emelie’s voice was just barely audible as she snapped at her sister sitting right next to her. 

“We’re done here, Marinette, Felix?” Adrien stood up. Emelie’s eyes widened into surprise as Marinette and Felix all followed suit. 

“Wait!” She sighed. “I … I’ll tell you everything.” A tear fell from her eye as she looked away, staring out the window into the sun over the garden. “I have lost enough family I can’t lose you too.” Adrien sat back down and as if his movements dedicated theirs, they copied. “Your father didn’t want to go, but I wanted to explore the site of a lost civilization, a temple. While there, we found these jewels and a book. We didn’t understand the book, but there were these beings…” She took a sip of tea.

Adrien could feel his muscles tense as well as Marinette’s who sat right next to him. She was talking about the day they found the miraculous’ and the Kwami’s known as Duusuu and Nooroo. The Peacock and Butterfly miraculous. 

“They told us they were called Kwami’s and that they could give us special powers.” She continued. “Gabriel was scared and didn’t want to mess with them. So we took them home.” She began to fiddle with a ring on her finger when Adrien noticed that she and Amelie were wearing the Graham De Vanily twin rings. She noticed him looking and covered her hand with her other. 

“This was before you boys came, I was pregnant with you,” Amalie admitted. “They were in the English Channel when the storm hit, capsizing the yacht, your mother and father tried to get to them, but….” 

‘They were trapped in their bedroom below deck.” Emelie began to sob into her hands. “I was so distraught that I created two sentimonsters to replace them.” Adrien felt a ping of pain in his heart. She did use the Peacock miraculous. “I tried to sustain them, keep them growing but every year they got bigger, It took more out of me. No one, not even you knew they weren’t your real sisters. So when I had to end them, we had to come up with a plan to explain their disappearance, so we recreated the yacht accident. I created a final sentimonster, I named him oblivion, anyone who had a memory of Anastasia and Annalyse would forget them.” 

“So that is how you ended up in a coma?” Adrien confirmed. “Why did you have to end them?” 

“I didn’t know how to keep going, the miraculous was damaged and I would have died. Gabriel swore he would find a way to fix everything.” Her tears kept coming as Amalie handed her a handkerchief. 

“So, he wanted to bring back the real Anastasia and Annalyse?” Marinette’s voice betrayed her emotions, she was angry and sad at the same time. Adrien knew what she felt as he glanced over at her. 

“He would have succeeded if it hadn’t been for those pesky brats.” Emelie’s truth shone through her anger, she was on his side, she would have helped him destroy Paris just to save the girls. “They destroyed my family.” Adrien’s anger rose up in his chest as he watched Emelie condone Hawk Moth’s actions.

“He terrorized Paris! Everywhere he went, he fed off the negative emotions of others in an attempt to get Ladybug and Cat Noir.” Adrien snapped, he stood up his fists balled at his sides. 

“All of my friends, my family.” Marinette stood up taking his hand in hers. He glanced over at her. She looked up with tear-stained cheeks. 

“All they would have had to do was just give him the miraculous’ just for a minute and then everything would have been put back to how it should have been.” Emelie sounded convinced of her own delusion.

“Have you been visiting him?” Adrien suddenly realized. She nodded.

“He told me everything. And no one had to get hurt.” 

“You’re wrong, there is always a price to pay to keep the balance,” Marinette shouted. Her emotions were too raw and Adrien wasn’t sure he could hear another line from Emelie. Still holding Marinette’s hand he pulled her to the doorway leaving the sunroom. 

“As you can see, you have given my brother and I much to process, we’ll take our leave now,” Felix said as Adrien reached the hall. Turning back to watch Felix fasten the buttons on his blazer then followed them out. Emelie’s sobs could be heard echoing the halls as they made their way to the foyer and left the mansion. Felix’s car was waiting for them as the chauffeur opened the door for them. “To the hotel Please.” He said before he slid in before Marinette. 

“How do I always get stuck between you two?” Marinette asked after a while, maybe to break the awkward silence as she chuckled. 

“Well, I certainly don’t want to cuddle him,” Felix said slyly giving Adrien a wink. 

“If you’re not between us, we’ll end up picking on each other.” Touche Felix deflected. 

“Are you guys okay?” Marinette asked looking between them. “I mean, really okay?” 

“With you here, I think we will be.” Felix teased her.

“It’s a lot to process, but I agree with Felix,” Adrien said. “Nothing could surprise me at this point.”

“What are you going to do now,” Adrien asked stood in front of the hotel. 

“I’m taking the train back to Paris, I’m heading there now,” Felix said. Marinette stiffened at the mention of her home. 

“You haven’t been home in a while, do you want to go?” Adrien asked her. 

“Well, kinda…” She muttered

“Then let’s go, we can go now, no sense staying in London,” Adrien said. 

“Great get in we’ll go together. Saves on having to stay in a hotel for you guys.” Felix said as they all got back into the limo. 

The good thing about the train was that Adrien finally had Marinette in a seat by himself. He sat next to the aisle with her by the window. Felix was in a seat across the aisle. There weren’t very many people on the train. Marinette laid her head on Adrien’s arm and dozed off. He lifted the armrest between them then laid her head on his lap as she kicked her feet up on the seat. The ride was quiet at first until the train began to shake and creek as if under pressure.

“What the hell?” Felix shrieked from his seat. Adrien looked over to find him staring out the window. Dozens of fish swimming by as if fleeing something. An eerie aquatic sound reverberated through the train as it came to a stop under the English channel. Adrien jumped up and ran between the cars to the cabin. The driver has frozen in fear his hand released the dead man switch as he stared into the deep blue nothing. Something was happening but what?”

“Is it an earthquake?” Adrien asked the driver. “What is it what did you see?”

“I saw a … a… woman dressed in a white dress just walking along the seafloor.” the man’s face was bleached with fear. 

“What… that’s impossible,” Felix said from behind Adrien. “Besides that wouldn’t explain the rumbling, the fish… the…” the ground shifted below the train as the water squished violently back and forth. They could hear the sound of the train giving way under the pressure of the water. 

“Marinette!” Felix and Adrien yelled as they ran back to their car. Most of the train was empty as they rushed past the few passengers on their way to the front of the train. They reached their car to find it empty except for Marinette running towards them. 

"The last car is gone!" She screamed. They all turned to head to the front of the train. It shook violently as if something had hit it. The next car was struck. They watched through the wind as it was torn from the rest of the train. The car they were in rolled over several times as Adrien tried to grasp the others. 

They stared in horror as the car stopped moving. Looking out the window all they saw was darkness. Not even so much as a fish. 

Adrien recognized that look in Marinette’s eyes. 

"We have no choice Marinette, we're going to run out of oxygen and…" loud thud hid the train car as several windows began to dislodge from their place. 

Marinette opened her purse that she never went anywhere without. 

"Tikki," She said pulling out a tiny macaron "power up." Tikki flew out of her purse and ate the blue treat.

"I guess the cats out of the bag, your turn Plagg" Adrien said holding up the blue Camembert. 

"I hate transforming" Plagg appeared from Adrien’s shirt pocket. Felix crashed to the floor in shock Looking at the two Kwami’s hovering in the air. 

"Plagg"

"Tikki"

"Claws out!"

"Spots on"

Their transformation came suddenly and in sync. 

"What about him?" Adrien asked staring at his brother.

"Well" Marinette started "we can't have witnesses" 

"I missed being an only child" Adrien teased. Marinette opened her yo-yo and pulled out a miraculous. 

"Felix this is the horse miraculous which grants the power of teleportation you will use it for the greater good and then return it to me! Can I trust you?" 

"My options seem pretty clear!" Felix stood up. "You have my loyalty always Marinette" He took the glasses and a tiny horse Kwami appeared. 

"Kaalki eat this." Marinette held up another blue treat. 

"Please tell me that's not the water one, seahorses are not as glorious and majestic as a noble stead." 

"Just eat it Kaalki. I know you have missed having a holder." Marinette’s smiled melted the kwami’s resolve. Marinette explained the powers and how to use them. Felix transformed. His slick blonde hair grew out long along the back of his head and neck. Fixed high on top like a Mohawk. His closed were replaced by a leathery black suit with a cat of nine tails whip attached to a belt on his back. 

There were flippers on his feet just like Ladybug and Cat Noir as well as fins on his back. Similar to that of a real seahorse.

The train car rolled again then slid down into a crevasse in the channel. It free fell as Ladybug secured her yo-yo string around Felix as Cat held her in one arm and his extended baton in the other. The car bust open upon landing at the bottom. Water began to rush in filling up the car as they all stood on the roof of the upside down car. 

"Cataclysm" Cat Noir called out as they were now completely submerged. The destroyed the door way allowing the three to swim out. 

"What is that?" Felix ask behind the other two. Ladybug and Cat Noir turned around to see what he was looking at. Felix swam deeper into the crevasse. 

"It looks like an ice burg" cat noir said as he caught up.

"More like an ice prison!" Marinette said, swimming up to it, placing her hand on the ice. "Like the ones created by Stormy Weather."

"It can't be!" Adrien said as he saw what Ladybug was looking at. There was two young girls trapped in the ice there hands up on it, frozen in time. 

"Anastasia and Annalyse!" Felix yelled. A beep came from Cat Noir's ring. 

"We can't just leave them here." Marinette sobbed. 

"There are people on that train Marinette, we can come back for them." Adrien said. 

"Is there any way to mark this location." Felix asked. 

"Good idea." Cat stamped his baton onto the ice leaving a tiny paw print locator. 

"We better hurry." Ladybug said. They swam up to the surface first to get their bearings on where they were. All they saw was water. She opened her yo-yo to a new report that the train had arrived damaged, missing several cars and that all but three passengers were safe. 

"We're going to need that teleport." Ladybug said. "But not to the train but right here." She pointed to a spot on her bug map. Felix called on his teleportation power and a bright blue circle appeared in the water. The three swam through, finding themselves on the bank of the Channel at the mouth of the Seine.

Felix & Adrien transformed back as Ladybug returned Kaalki to her yoyo before releasing her transformation. The three of them they laid back exhausted on the bank. 

"What do we do now?" Felix asked. 

"We tell them that we floated here." Adrien said, sitting up. The others looked at him surprised. He pointed to an emergency raft that had washed up beside them. "It’s from the train." 

"Should we call for help?" Marinette asked 

"No phone." Felix said, holding up his waterlogged cell. 

"How far to the next town?" Adrien asked 

"Too far to walk." Marinette answered 

"You should have had me teleport us closer." Felix chastised 

"How would we explain that?" Marinette asked.

"Good question." Both boys spoke in unison. 

"Do you hear something?" Marinette stood up. It was starting to get dark but it was clear that there was a helicopter in the air. The three stood there waving their arms in the air as a helicopter passed over their heads shining a spotlight on the raft.

They were found at last.

Adrien ‘Amok’ Agreste: A dark theory/prompt

I believe that there is something more to Emilie Agreste's coma. I believe that there is something more to the broken peacock pin. I believe that the Adrien Agreste that we know and love is an amok. And that he has been for a very long time. In fact, I believe that the original Adrien Agreste is dead, and has been for many many years.

Why do I believe this? Simple, I believe that when the show tells me that THE wish Gabriel so desires would have consequences that they aren't just saying the wish has consequences but rather that all magic may have consequences. Wielding the power of the gods must surely come with a price to pay. And I believe Emilie Agreste paid that price with her very life. All so that 'Adrien' could become real. Now I base this on the fact that the wish would have consequences but also on what I can see in the show. Marinette has terrible luck, her gifts always backfire, her best-laid plans blow up in her face, sure she has a loving family but even they think she's so clumsy that they don't fully trust her. I believe that Tikki is eating Marinette's luck. What about Plagg and Adrien? Well if I'm correct then I'm not sure how Amok Adrien wielding a miraculous could work but id easily argue that Adrien has a tendency to destroy that which is most important to him, we have all seen the other timelines, after all.

But enough about that. Let's get to the meat of the topic. Emilie Agreste and a certain peacock brooch. I don't think Emilie simply collapsed from a broken pin [though I do believe it is what was making Nathalie sick.] I think the pin was once completely fine, unbroken, and fully functional. And I think Emilie Agreste was used to using it, bringing toys to life for young Adrien's entertainment! In order to pay her price, Duusu would take just a bit of Emilie's life force not enough to impact the woman's life much, but she'd be tired at the end of the day, too exhausted to do much of anything physically. But I think she was friends Duusu, and loved hearing and seeing Adrien laugh and play amazed by his mother's magic!

And then Adrien Agreste died. And in order to bring him back, I believe Emilie broke the rules of the peacock, she defied the temporary nature of the magic and in-exchange for her very own life she gave birth for a second time to Adrien, an amok with the true soul of a human. Of course, this sucked out Emilie's own life leaving her an empty shell, and as for Duusu and the miraculous? After having its magic so violated it broke and went dormant, waiting for the day that Mayura would appear. Only because the miraculous was still broken it began sapping away more of the woman's health than it would have otherwise had it been whole.

I believe Gabriel knew of the Miraculous and what they could do but never thought much of it until it was too late. I think Emilie kept what she did, a secret a dark, and when Gabriel found her unconscious that the broken pin was his only clue leading him to believe that it was his mistake allowing a strange magical artifact into his home in the first place.

Now with that explanation, I present to you my dark little prompt on how Emilie and Adrien Agreste died:

Adrien Agreste died on his 5th birthday. His father was at work until that evening, and there was no party [they had all agreed to have the party in two days when it was the weekend and everyone was free]. In order to keep Adrien entertained and make his birthday extra special Emilie had transformed using Duusu and was using her powers to bring to life Adrien's toys. It wasn't the first time she'd done this but she kept the occurrences rare, a special treat, and a special secret that they were NEVER to tell Daddy about! Adrien was good at keeping secrets and loved playing with the 'friends' his mother would make him. She'd reenact fairytales for him she'd chase him around. It was special it was fun, it was everything Emilie ever wanted.

And then something went wrong.

Maybe Adrien slipped and fell, maybe he was reckless and hid in a dangerous spot without knowing, maybe when they stopped for lunch he ate something he was allergic to. All you need to know is Adrien Agreste died on that day, his mother screaming and crying and begging for everything to just be a bad dream. She NEEDED it to be a bad dream. Adrien was her life, her soul, her reason for being. She did not want another child she wanted HER child her precious perfect baby boy! And then perhaps it was something Duusu said, perhaps the idea came over her like a possession. But in that moment despite Duusu's pleading, despite knowing the risks, despite the fact that reality was staring her in the face. She transformed and called for every ounce of magic she had and she commanded the miraculous to bend to her will twisting and breaking the magic and its laws. And when the feather sunk into Adrien's lifeless corpse it jolted and twitched and was overcome. And suddenly there he was! Her bouncing perfect happy baby boy! He jumped into his mama's arms and she laughed and twirled him holding him closer to herself. She had FIXED him, everything was okay now. That night Gabriel returned trying in vain to hide a massive teddy bear behind his back. He laughed and smiled when Adrien his 'son' ran up to greet him and cling to his legs. He never noticed how tired Emilie looked.

But unknown to her the smallest crack had appeared in the miraculous. And it would only grow.

Adrien was fragile. As she would come to learn. Two days after the day he died they were all celebrating at the boy's late birthday party, Chloe, Felix and Adrien were playing. Chasing each other around and having fun while only Emilie looked after them, Gabriel was inside away from the children catching up with Audrey, Andre, and Amelie's husband. Amelie her sister had gone to get them drinks saying she'd be right back. And then Adrien tripped on his untied shoelace and hit his head. And then he didn't get up. His body twitched and shook, Chloe screamed and ran inside, while Felix tripped and fell to the ground unable to tear his eyes away while his cousin seemed to melt away revealing SOMETHING. Emilie ran to her childs side calling all of Duusu's magic into her hands. By the time Gabriel made it outside 'Adrien' was just fine with only a little scratch and a bit of blood on his perfect little head. Emilie smiled tiredly and told Audrey and her husband that Chloe had just gotten a little scared when Adrien fell and started crying. Chloe tried to deny the claim, tried to say Adrien's body had been OOZING something but her parents simply rolled their eyes and told her to stop being dramatic about a little blood. Felix meanwhile ran into his mothers arms and said he wanted to go home. The sisters shared jokes about how dramatic children could be!

Emilie thought that would be the end of it. But it would happen several times each time she would just barely be able to call on the magic to keep Adrien together, and each time she was very VERY lucky that Gabriel had missed it. But it was clear to Emilie that Adrien was too fragile for school, she needed to keep her child home where she could keep him safe and sound. And so when it came time for Adrien's annual check up Emilie volunteered to take him alone after all Gabriel was a busy man he needed to focus on work right now, so that one day Adrien could inherit the company! The doctor she chose looked perfect on paper, but all it took was a little cash to convince the man that Adrien was a sickly weak child who's health would suffer if he were to attend public school. When Emilie returned home with the bad news her husband was concerned un-sure if they shouldn't perhaps try to get a second opinion after all Adrien seemed fine! He was such an energetic happy boy! Emilie felt guilt gnaw at her insides as for the next month she distracted her husband with excuses and lies, finally he saw it her way and told Adrien himself that they would have to break their promise he would not be going to public school. Adrien threw tantrum but Emilie ended it easily. Adrien was always SO well behaved for her, he always listened to EVERYTHING she said. Her perfect baby boy, who was going to be safe now, safe and home.

As the years wore on Emilie grew weaker, unknown to her the miraculous she wore had gained cracks and fissures another one for each and everytime she defied the laws of nature to keep her 'perfect' child alive and well. Duusu had tried many times over the years to make the woman see reason until finally she grew tired of the arguing and commanded the little god to stay quiet and listen to her every word. Duusu had no choice but to nod and continue watching as Emilie destroyed her own soul, giving her life piece by piece to the amok she called 'son'.

And Adrien? Well he was PERFECT. He grew up just like Emilie wanted, he looked just like she always thought he would as a child, he never spoke out of turn, never fought her for anything, he was polie, kind, innocent, sweet, a romantic like herself, he was like a prince from the fairytale books she used to read him every single night. He learned everything so quickly it made Emilie glow in pride. It was like Adrien had become everything she ever wanted and hoped for. Gabriel was just as proud though he sometimes admited he was envious at how Adrien seemed to listen to his mother more then he listened to his dear old dad. Emilie would just laugh and say it was because Adrien was a momma's boy and that it would change when he got older. But she honestly hoped it never did. After all her son was perfect the way he was now! And who wouldn't want a perfect son?

And then it was his birthday again.

Just like all those many years ago, Gabriel was busy with work. It was just her and Adrien yet again. They plaid piano, they watched her movie, they read books together, it was perfect just perfect. And then... It wasn't.

The second time Adrien died. Nothing went wrong. He got up to get his mother a cup of tea and then he was on the floor. Emilie ran to his side and called for the magic to keep him sustained like she had every single time before for so many years. But the miraculous glitched and sputtered too broken to listen to the command. Emilie was forced to watch as her now teenage son, her perfect wonderful flawless son, dissolved away. Until the only thing that remained was the body of a 5 year old taken too soon from the cold cruel world. He hadn't changed at all. Still like she saw him all those years ago. Still dead.

And for the first time ever Emilie allowed herself to weep and allowed reality to break into her perfect wonderful life. Adrien was dead. He'd been dead this whole time, the boy she raised the boy she loved he was a being of her own making. A creature she had burdened with all her hopes and dreams a creature she had shaped into a perfect ideal son. But Adrien... Her Adrien. He hadn't been a perfect child. He'd been reckless, he'd been overdramatic, he threw tantrums, he pouted and wailed and was naive, sometimes he just would not listen to her. And when he'd died she had not only refused to accept his death, but she'd refused to acknowledge who he actually was. The Adrien she'd been raising was a pretty lie, a perfect painting covering a rotting canvas. So she cried and screamed and wailed. She mourned her child, the real and the fake. She mourned her marriage had Gabriel even noticed how sick and weak she was? She mourned for the years she would not have and the things she would not see.

And Duusu. Duusu who had tried to warn the woman, Duusu who had been her dearest friend once upon a time, Duusu who already knew what she was going to do, Duusu who felt tired his body aching as his miraculous broke more with each act of twisted magic, Duusu who laid his little paw on Emilie's cheek and cried his own tears and gave the woman a solemn nod.

Just once more Emilie called for the magic and just once more she twisted it and broke it and shaped it. But this time she let go, she let go of all restraint, this time she let go of her own soul, this time she let go of who she wanted Adrien to be and instead remembered who he WAS. This time, this very last time she would for the third time gave birth to another life. The first had been Adrien, the second had been what she wanted him to be, and this last time he would be who he wanted to be. The feather again sunk into the childs body.

When Adrien awoke his head lay on his mothers lap. She looked pale and tired, had she always looked this tired? She smiled a weak and frail little smile and told him he'd fallen asleep. That night Gabriel came home with a gift hidden behind his back for Adrien. And he remarked that Emilie looked like she needed some rest while Adrien tore open his present. Emilie just smiled and said she would get some later, she wanted to spend time with her family tonight and take in every last second she could.

Perhaps it was the universes blessing that gave Emilie a little more time with her son. Or perhaps she'd been a little selfish in the end and made sure she had enough life left over so she could bask in the warmth of her sunshine one last time. But in the end she broke the laws of the universe and magic, and she had a price to pay. But she was happy now, so happy, Adrien even if he was made from her energy, a feather and some magic, was real now, he was free, and he would grow up and live his own life, maybe have his own children. She would never see them but she would love them through Adrien. It was with that thought that Emilie finally fell asleep.

Gabriel would never know what truly happened to his wife. Duusu would never tell him, the poor man would blame himself, and magic, yet he'd seek it out same as his wife had so he could cling to the past. And Adrien? Well Adrien was dead. But he was also alive, and for the first time in years he was free. But now he had to figure out what that meant.

kinda baseless but here me out. What if adrien isn’t a full on sentimonster? Idk I’m really stuck on twins rn. Like Emile and Amelie? What if Emile happened to be a sentimonster. That’s why Amelie wanted a ring back, it’s her sisters and something dear of her. BUT,,, sentimonster that are humans have all human capabilities right? They’re essentially human in all other ways so maybe Emile managed to have a kid,, adrien!! And Amelie was like huh?? I want a kid too BUT who to base that kid off? Who better than her “twin” sister’s son. That’s why Felix and adrien look so alike. This is where is kinda weird (I say that as if this theory isn’t already very bonkers) this is why Amelie wanted that ring for Felix. Her sister who was a sentimonster and whose ring that was. Emile having that ring probably meant she had full control over her being. And maybe Amelie thought if Felix knows he’s a sentimonster that would be important artifact for him to know you could have full power over ur being??? But this brings me to a new problem because Gabriel said he could snap his finger and Felix be gone so what is Felix’s amok?? Also this would explain why adrien does react in Gabriel’s favor when Gabriel touches the ring but also why Gabriel does not know Adrien is Chat Noir,, he’s not fully sentimonster? How he would have an amok is beyond me but maybe something to do with twin rings? Idk there’s just a lot of “twinning” happening and the way Felix’s dad died right after Emile went “missing”? Kinda suspicious. And since Gabriel knows his wife is still “alive-ish” and doesn’t seem to care much for adriens emotional well-being why didn’t he go to that funeral??? I have so many questions abt this show but the recent episode has my brain working up wild conspiracies

The sun shone through the open cracks of the wood boarded window. The sun was out, it had to be around six in the morning. That meant Vie still wasn’t awake. Y/N stood up in her small bed, looking around the room at the partially lit room at the decaying walls. Turning to her left, she looked over to Amelie’s sleeping form. “Hey,” she whispered, “We have to go.” Amelie stirred in her sleep, “Five more minutes.” Y/N got up from her bed, taking a step towards her and shaking her awake. “For a morning person, you’re kind of lazy,” Y/N teased, pulling the covers off her. “For a brokenhearted person, you’re not mopey and sad,” Amelie groaned, sitting up and rubbing her eyes. “I’m not mopey and sad because I’ve come to terms with never seeing him again,” Y/N replies, turning away to get her things ready, “Yes it hurts, but I have to get over it some day. I hurt him. I’m not surprised if he never wants to see me again.” Amelie sighs, giving her a sympathetic look. 

“I know it hurts,” Amelie comforted, “I hear you crying at night. I’m so sorry for how this turned out.” Y/N looks back at her, shaking her head, “Don’t be. It’s not your fault. I shouldn’t have gotten too close.” Amelie gave her one last soft expression before standing up and getting ready for the day. 

“So, where are we headed?” Amelie asked, walking out into the hall to the door. “We are going to the handler to get the pay for the necklace,” Y/N responded, walking through the door frame and leaving the house. “I don’t suppose we’re taking the car,” Amelie muttered as they walked toward the street, beginning their trip to the person that would give them the money they needed for the stolen relic. “Nope,” Y/N replied smugly, “It’s not that far a walk. Besides, we need to burn off all the pastries we ate in paradise.” Amelie sighed longingly, catching up with her sister, “They tasted like heaven.” Y/N chuckled as they continued walking down the street. 

The handler was waiting for them in a restaurant five blocks away from the hell house they grew up in. They should arrive fifteen minutes after they’d left the house. “He said he’ll be waiting for us at the furthest table from the door. He’s wearing a sky blue button up. We can’t miss him,” Y/N explained, keeping a relatively fast pace as they made their way to the restaurant, holding a secure bag containing the necklace. “Ok, perfect,” Amelie nodded, “While we walk, how about we have a conversation.” Y/N turned to look at her in confusion, “About what?” 

“About him,” Amelie proposed, still looking out in front of her towards the busy street. Y/N slowed her steps at her words. Here we go. “I know you don’t want to get into specifics, but you can talk to me about it,” Amelie tried, slowing down with her. Y/N let out a sigh, “What do you want me to say? I practically told you everything earlier.” Amelie shrugged, “Maybe you can tell me how it felt? Before having to end things. How did it feel to be in love for the first time?” Y/N looked away, trying to find the right  words to use. “It was,” she began, stopping herself to think for a moment, “It was wonderful. The way we danced on both occasions was something I can’t even begin to explain. It just felt.. Magical. I never thought I could lose sight of a job’s objective, but when I was with him, I lost track of everything and just delved into those sweet moments,” she explained in a yearning tone, “When I was with him, I felt as if I was more than just a thief. I felt that for once in my life, I could be truly and unconditionally happy. It was something I had never felt before.” Y/N looked down at her feet, the realization settling in, “And it’s something I know I’ll probably never feel again.” Amelie gave her another sad smile, “It sounds nice.” 

“It was nice,” Y/N whispered, “It was nice and so much more.” Amelie put her left hand on Y/N’s right shoulder, “At least one of us was able to experience it.”

They continued their trip in a comfortable silence. Upon arriving at their destination, they were approached by a police officer before they could get close to the door. “Excuse me ladies,” he began, stopping them from going any further, “Are you by any chance the L/N sisters?” Amelie and Y/N looked at each other in confusion, not wanting to respond to his question in fear something had gone wrong. “I think you have us confused with someone else,” Y/N replied dismissively, trying to get out of that situation as quickly as possible. The officer’s partner approached them, taking out a paper and showing it to them, revealing their pictures with their names. “Lying to an officer is not a good idea,” he warned, “Would you like to try again?” Both sisters had a matching face of shock. What was this about?

“We’re going to need you to come with us,” the first officer began, “Someone has been looking for the two of you.” Amelie straightened her posture, “And if we choose not to come peacefully?” The second officer gave her a look and brought out his cuffs, “Then I’m afraid we’ll have to arrest the two of you.” The sisters shared a look, thinking about their next course of action carefully.

~~~~~~~~~~

After about five minutes of driving, they arrived at the police station and parked in front of the entrance. Both girls were led out by one of the officers and taken inside. They walked down the hall where they were met by another two officers, one with a pair of handcuffs and the other asking for the bag Y/N was carrying. The handcuffs were placed on their wrists and they were led to the door of the interrogation room. Once the door was opened, Y/N’s heart dropped to her knees and she almost collapsed. 

Standing next to a detective was the very man she never expected to see again. The man she’d fallen in love with in Audrilluria. The man whose heart she broke. “Have a seat, ladies,” the detective instructed. Both girls took their respective seats, Y/N unable to take her eyes off of Thomas. She felt that if she looked away for even half a second, he would disappear. “I’m sure both of you know why you are here,” the detective began, “And I’m sure both of you know who this is.”  He motioned to Thomas, who’s expression was of anger and determination. His eyes went back and forth between both sisters, not daring to look into Y/N’s eyes for too long. 

“You might be wondering how you were found,” the detective continued, “Apparently, one of your moles by the name of Edmundo wasn’t able to make it off Blythenon before her was apprehended.” Amelie looked up at the detective, placing her cuffed hands on the table in front of her. “So you know we have it,” she stated, deciding not to play dumb. “Of course we do,” he shrugged, “What his highness wants to know is why.” 

“If his highness wants to know so badly, he should ask us himself,” Amelie snapped, turning to look Thomas in the eye. Thomas merely shifted his weight, folding his arms across his chest as he leaned into the wall behind him. “How many more people did you have working for you in the castle?” Thomas asked in a deep, darkened tone. “We don’t know,” Amelie replied simply, “They worked for Edmundo, not for us.” Thomas turned to Y/N, who never looked away from him for a second.

“What were your true intentions?” He asked, maintaining the same tone as before. “I think our intentions were pretty obvious,” Amelie snarked. “I wasn’t asking you,” Thomas raised his voice, “I was asking your currently mute sister.” Y/N flinched at his slight change. He turned to her again, giving her an expectant look. Y/N’s eyes began to form small tears. “Thomas, I--,” she choked out, “My intentions were never to hurt you.” Thomas straightened his posture, his expression changing briefly before going back to one of anger before Y/N could decipher what it was. “Take Ms. Amelie to another room,” He instructed the detective without taking his eyes off of Y/N, “I need a moment alone with her.” 

The detective followed his order wordlessly and exited the room with Amelie, leaving them alone in a tense silence. The way Thomas was looking at her made her feel weak in the worst way possible. She couldn’t take knowing that the man she’d known to be cheerful and positive most of the time was enraged by something she did. Everything he was feeling was because of her. 

“Please just say something,” Y/N pleaded, trying desperately to get any reaction from him. Thomas merely leaned his hands on the table, lowering his head slightly. “Like what?” he asked in a harsher tone than before, “Should I confess to you only to have you break my heart again, or should I save myself the trouble?” Y/N let out a desperate sigh, “I didn’t mean to hurt you! I didn’t want to do this to you but I didn’t have a choice!” 

“There’s always a choice, Y/N!” he yelled, “Just spare me the trouble and tell me the truth!” “You want the truth?” Y/N asked, a few tears falling from her eyes, “Fine. I was an orphan all my life. My parents died when Amelie and I were children. We were left alone on the streets because no one wanted to take us in. This woman took us to what we thought was going to be our new home. She raised us to be thieves and when we were old enough to fight back, she threatened to hurt other children she took in to make us pay!” The room fell into silence as Y/N spoke the last word. “If I didn’t steal the heart, Vie would have left seven children out in the streets to suffer,” she cried.

Thomas stood from his position, looking away briefly as Y/N tried to regain herself. Another long moment of silence passed as Thomas thought of what to say next. “Did you mean it?” he asked, still not looking at her, “Did you mean anything you said to me?” Y/N gave him a pained smile, “Of course I did. I meant every word I said to you. I meant what I wrote to you on the night of the coronation. I wanted to be with you. I wanted to stay.” Thomas turned back to her in mild surprise, tears of his own forming in his eyes. “I wanted nothing more than to be with you for the rest of my life. I still want that,” Y/N confessed, tears running down her cheeks, “I want to be with you because I’m in love with you.”

Thomas took a breath, looking away as a single tear stained his now solemn face. He stayed looking towards the door for a long moment. Y/N was prepared for his rejection. She knew he was hurt and frankly she didn’t blame him if he decided to walk out and never look back. But having him make any decision and make it known to her was better than dealing with the crippling, uncertain silence that fell upon them again.

“Y/N L/N, “Thomas began, “You have stolen from my kingdom and used some of my people against me.” Y/N closed her eyes, letting her head drop to her shoulders. “You have betrayed Audrilluria and impersonated a member of Audrilluria’s council of allies. For that, I sentence you and your sister to life in Audrilluria for your multiple crimes against my kingdom.” He took a step closer to her, catching her attention and making her look up. “Your sister will be sentenced to serving the people of Audrilluria in any way I see fit. As for you, I sentence you to spend the rest of your life by my side.” 

Y/N looked at him in a mixture of confusion and hope. “You and your sister will return with me to Blythenon where you will begin your sentence immediately after you set foot on Audrillurian soil. For the rest of your life, you’re mine.” Y/N lost her breath, unable to completely process what he was saying. She stood from her seat, cheeks still stained with the continuous flow of tears. She gave him a wide smile before he approached her with a softer look in his eyes. “For the rest of your life,” he whispered, holding her chin up with his index finger and thumb, “You will stay by my side and be my queen. Only then will you be pardoned for your crimes.” He leaned in and pressed a gentle, but needy kiss to her soft lips. The lips he craved for so long. The lips that were finally his to claim forever. Y/N melted into the kiss, bringing her cuffed hands up to his face as he wrapped his free arm around her waist. A surge of passion enveloped them as the kiss lasted longer than the ones they shared previously. 

When the need for air became too much to ignore, they pulled away, keeping each other within reach. “You and I will leave for Audrilluria this afternoon, along with Amelie and the children you have protected.” Thomas whispered as he stared deep into her eyes. Y/N pulled away further, “What about Vie?” 

“That woman will be locked up for everything she has done. As king, I have enough influence to make that happen quicker,” Thomas reassured, still holding onto his love. Y/N smiled lovingly, “So what now?” Thomas pulls away, taking out a key and unlocking her handcuffs to free her, “Now, we pack your things, Amelie’s things, the replica, and prepare the children to leave for Audrilluria and never come back to this life.” Y/N rubbed her wrists before wrapping her arms around his neck. “I like that plan.”

First Thoughts on Felix

-Awww poor Adrien :(

-Yo Gabriel. We all saw Chat Blanc. You’re not allowed to pretend to feel sympathetic to your son anymore. >:[

-He almost told him about Emilie huh? Wonder how he would’ve handled that. “Hey son I’ve been keeping your mother’s comatose body in our basement this whole time and terrorizing Paris to maybe possibly revive her with magic :)” yeah uh...

-Even Adrien “Oblivious” Agreste sees something going on with Nathalie, and is 100% prepared to accept it. You gotta move on Gabe

-So here we have the infamous Felix. I know it’s more of a nod/reference to the PV than an actual faithful representation of how the character would've been in that version of the story, but the design still threw me off a bit given that he’s EXACTLY Adrien but with different bangs and clothes. Aesthetically I wish they’d made him a little taller or his face a little longer or somethin’. However, because the lookalike-ness was vital to the plot, I guess I can let it slide...

-Hmm, not sure how I feel about this Aunt Amelie. Honestly the vibes I got were “Aubrey but less mean”. Similar levels of obnoxious but without being outright rude.

-So are Emilie and Amelie just sisters or actually twins? Cuz they sure do look identical...

-If that’s the case and Emilie and Amelie and identical, I guess that would make Adrien and Felix genetically half-brothers? 

-So it sounds like Adrien and Felix were pretty close as kids, which is cute. Good to know he had more than just Chloe.

- “Felix, you know your uncle’s never been the physical sort!” As much as I hate hate hate to relate to Gabriel in any way, shape, or form....man what a mood ^^”

-Wow, Felix seems like a real butthole. Shame.

- “My father’s very...protective of me” oh you poor sweet summer child. SOMEONE SAVE THIS BOI

-Adrien is too sweet for his own good. someone save this cinnamon roll sunshine child. plz

-So Felix lost his dad roughly around the same time Adrien lost his mom, huh? Interesting. 

-Though we know Felix’s dad is definitely dead. Does Adrien think Emilie is dead? He’s never said she “died”, he always uses words like “disappeared” or in this case, “went away forever”. The word “forever” seems pretty final though, as if there’s no hope of her returning. So...……..?

-I like how Plagg immediately realizes that he went too far in bringing up Adrien’s mom and apologizes. And Adrien forgives him because he’s a good boi. love me some Plagg/Adrien friendship

-I’m glad Marinette knew immediately that the “Adrien” in the video wasn’t really Adrien (and the others too, though they were debating it)

-A little odd that Hawkmoth just used Alya/Rose/Juleka’s previous akuma forms for the “punishers” instead of having something more directly related to their problem but I guess they weren’t the episode’s focus so w/e

-Aaaaaaand Nathalie knows how to fight even without a Miraculous. aight

-Felix too apparently 

-Yeah I do not trust Felix one bit at this point. He’s willingly aligning himself with Hawkmoth without even being akumatized and yet he wants us to believe that one little slip off the building gave him such a huge change of heart? Don’t buy it one bit, especially after he stole Gabriel’s ring. Ngl gettin’ some Lila vibes there...

-Felix/Lila ship, anyone? :P

-Well, guess we’ll have to see if he ever shows back up again...

New Happiness (F)

Pairing: sf9 chani x reader.

Genre: fluff, one shot.

Warnings: none.

Word count: 3k.

A/N: Hello there, if anyone is reading this, I hope you can enjoy this story a lot. This is my first time writing a thing like this so, I’m sorry for all my mistakes. Also, english is not my first language so again sorry, hehe. I noticed that there aren’t many sf9 scenarios and since I craved for a chani scenario a lot because he’s my baby, I got inspired by a dream I had so I wrote this, also adding more elements to make it more interesting. Fantasies, I love y’all.♡

Also a big thank you to Guille who helped me a lot with this and for being the only one who is always there for me when I cry about chani.~

As you were arriving to the venue you still couldn’t believe how your sister had managed to convince your mother into letting her go to this concert and by all means drag you with her as well. You were trying to concentrate all your energies into the upcoming exams you had to prepare for this semester so, dealing with this stuff right now felt like a waste of time and got a little bit on your nerves. Of course you loved your sister a lot, and you would do anything for her, but right now you were just so stressed that everything in your surroundings felt annoying and you just wanted to get this done so you could get back home as soon as possible.

Spring was around the corner when the news about this indie band that wasn’t even that famous came along. And so, Amelie, your little sister, got interested in them a lot, since she liked the simple vibe their songs had, unlike other girls of her age, her interests were different and very unique. You were certainly quite proud of how well she had grown up through the years, after helping your mother to raise her in any aspect you could. You three were alone in the world, and because of that you were always there to support each other.

The concert date was approaching but you just kept studying and didn’t pay much attention to your sister who was so excited about it. Though, deep down you were happy that she had found a thing or two to distract herself in a healthy way from all the stressful stuff she had going on sometimes.

D-day was here and now Amelie and you were waiting on the line outside the venue with a bunch of people. There weren’t that many but it was enough to fill both floors inside. The queue moved, and you proceeded to pay for the tickets with the code you had already saved online a couple weeks ago, you gave it to the boy who was attending and he handed you over the two tickets with no problems.

Calmly and side hugging your sis, you entered the hall, now the only thing left was for them to open the doors and then the concert would be starting soon. You were sure it wouldn’t be that long, as soon as the sun went completely down they will be done and you will get to finally go home.

You separated from the hug and while walking you decided to check your phone and as you tried to reply to the messages from your best friend who was telling you how she couldn’t decide what she was going to have for dinner you stumbled into someone.

“Oh my- I am so sorry.” you said as your eyes went up to meet a brown haired guy who was also looking apologetically for not paying attention to where he was going either.

You both stayed still for a moment. Breathless for a second that felt like forever.

“Chani? Lucas! Hey, how are you?” Amelie said smiling. Chani and you were still staring at each other. He had the cutest, shiniest brown eyes and the sweetest stare you had ever seen before. But of course, you being you, got overwhelmed at the situation and immediately looked away before you even dare to blush. How did this guy managed to almost get that from you? Yes, he was very good looking but, was it that much of a big deal to almost make you blush? You took a quick glance at him again, from head to toe, his beauty was truly breathtaking and you felt a rush of excitement running through your body. May all at those love-at-first-sight stories be damn, you did not believe in such things. But again, who said love? You were allowed to think a guy looked extremely fine at first sight, right?

Wait, so Amelie knew them?

“Y/N, this is Lucas, he’s one of my classmates.” your sister explained. “And he’s Chani, his older brother.”

You all exchanged some polite “Nice to meet you.” and then proceeded to keep walking to the doors, where a certain amount of people were already gathering.

After saying your goodbyes, Lucas and Chani kept walking forward, you and your sister stayed still, close to one of the doors.

“So… I guess you aren’t that close to Lucas. I thought you two would maybe want to go inside together.” you stated while watching Amelie’s reaction, she looked unbothered. “It’s better when you have nice people to share this kinda stuff with, you know.” You were hoping not to sound too lonely, but Amelie looked up at you.

“It’s okay dude, we are here together.” And that’s how she cut off the subject and y'all finally got inside the venue a few minutes later.

While going inside many people went to the second floor and many people chose to stay in the first one. The truth was, each floor had a nice view of the scenario so it was really up to the personal preferences of each person to choose where you were going to stay during the whole presentation. Amelie wanted to stay in the first one so you went further to get close to the stage, even though a lot of people were already stuck right beside it.

As you waited, a few songs of the band were softly playing as background music so you were hoping to recognize some songs later on when they will came out and do them live.

While you were enjoying one particular song, you had this weird feeling that a gaze was on you, so you started to look around and yet everybody seemed to be minding their own business jamming to the songs or talking to each other, it wasn’t until you started to scan the second floor when your eyes met Chani’s for the second time that evening. The moment it happened he played it cool, looking away while keeping a straight face. In fact, when you had just met him a few minutes ago, he was also holding this serious, yet not rude expression. It only made you more curious about him.

You turned to look at the stage again, trying to not think about Chani anymore, and kept humming to a song Amelie made sure to get it stuck in your subconscious before today.

As the background music died, the band members started to come out and all the people cheered for them warmly. The concert was going great, many of the songs were slow jams but it was a very enjoyable atmosphere. At some point you grow weak and looked up to check on Chani, he seemed to be enjoying this even more than Lucas. You really started to regret the fact that he and Amelie weren’t close enough to stick together earlier.

But then you got an idea.

“Hey… wanna go to the second floor?” you asked, trying not to look straight at Amelie’s face, she would read through you right away and you weren’t sure if you could give her a proper explanation to your sudden request.

“Why? We are fine here, besides I’m sure there’s only a few more songs left. What if we don’t get a comfortable spot? We are okay here.” she said without looking at you. She was right, the concert was probably gonna end soon because you could tell the sun was starting to go down, just as you predicted. The concert will be done as soon as the sun gets fully hidden.

“You’re right, but still... we should go up. Don’t you think it would be great if we can see the two perspectives of the show? I mean, we are lucky enough to be here. We should enjoy it as much as we can.” And from where the hell did all of that came? You were taken aback yourself at how smooth you sounded.

For a moment, Amelie stood unbothered, but then she looked up at you.

“Alright then, let’s go.” YES. YES. Wait, why am I so excited? Please, be chill.

You both quickly took the stairs so you wouldn’t miss many parts of the show taking too much time going up. As soon as you started moving through the people who were on this floor you regretted coming here. What were you thinking? It’s not like you could just go wherever Lucas and Chani were and act like y'all were friends or something.

You spotted them leaning on the railing and decided to play it cool so you would look like you didn’t see them and were casually going around.

But Amelie also spotted them, and right away she looked at you smiling. “Oh… my God.”

“What?” you asked looking at her. She knew you too well. She knew you don’t usually do this kind of stuff just because. You must have a reason.

“You brought me here so we could be closer to Chani? Did you like him? You from all people? The almighty I-don’t-have-time-for-boys Y/N? This is hilarious.”

“Oh please don’t be silly-”

“I thought It was weird when you asked to move, you hate moving around in events like this. Now it makes sense.”

“It’s really not like that Amelie-”

“Hey.” she stopped on her tracks. “For once, let me help you, as much as you always help me. Come on.” She grabbed your hand and started to drag you closer to where to boys were. “Just try to be friendly you know, I mean wait, don’t, don’t try, just be you and see what’s up. I will do my best to get along with Lucas so you two can freely talk.”

“What? Amelie I swear-” but you never got to finish your sentence because you were already behind the boys.

“Hey guys, we meet again.” Amelie let out, both turned around. Chani looked at you gifting you a shy smile. W-was he really smiling at… you? CHILL, REMEMBER TO BE CHILL.

“Hey, are you guys having fun?” you asked, you exchanged looks with Lucas and he felt relieved… Relieved? Relieved of what?

“One of the best shows I ever attended to.” said Lucas now looking at Amelie, she returned a smile to him. “And now that you’re both finally here I shall finally have peac-” he was interrupted by Chani. “I’m sure what my little brother is trying to say is that he’s glad we are not alone anymore, he gets easily tired of me. Don’t you, little demon?” Chani said while ruffling his hair.

“Please, let go of me, talk to her alre-”

“Don’t y'all love this song?” Chani half screamed, you jumped a little bit because of his voice, he had a very low tone while speaking and that half scream took you by surprise.

As if Amelie immediately understood what was going on she turned to Lucas and started to talk about lot of stuff related to the songs, the band and members. You were left wondering why she waited to this day and this moment to finally get close to this boy. Was she really trying her best because she thought you liked Chani and she could help you both to get along if she did the same with Lucas? You truly raised the sweetest girl.

“So… how long has it been since you know this band? I thought they weren’t that popular?” You asked Chani, now all of you moving to lean again into the railing. The sun was still present but it wasn’t hot, unlike many concerts that are during the day, today was a lovely spring day and for some reason your body just felt super relaxed, as if you lungs were getting clearer oxygen, it was a strange but exciting sensation.

“I actually discovered them about a year and a half ago, I think. Ever since I found out about them, both me and Lucas enjoyed many of their songs so, coming today was a must.” He replied, looking at the stage where the vocalist was looking at one of his bandmates and smiling.

You found yourself admiring Chani’s side profile, he seemed to have no bad angles…

“That’s cute.” you laughed. “I actually don’t know many of their songs but I came here for Amelie.”

“I guess I owe Amelie a big one.” he let out on an almost inaudible voice, thinking you wouldn’t be able to catch it, still focused on the stage where the band was starting the last chorus of that song. But you did hear it.

And that’s all it took. You were blushing. As you were just admiring how it was such a beautiful day, now you suddenly felt hot. And even if you didn’t understand why, you liked it. Though, the little tingles in your stomach made you panic. You could be just assuming things, you thought. Don’t.

Brushing off the tingles you decided to also focus on the stage now, where the drummer was explaining how only 3 songs were left.

You were sad, why didn’t you think about coming up here earlier. You hadn’t done much, and you still didn’t know how to face him and tell him you wanted to know more about him.

As you kept struggling searching for the right words to say so you wouldn’t sound too desperate, you heard Lucas and Amelie who now were a little far from Chani and you, but their conversation still was able to reach your ears.

“… I swear, the entire concert Chani hasn’t shut up about your sister, he wanted to convince me to go down on the first floor but I told him It would look creepy, besides, I didn’t want to bother you two, you gave me the impression of wanting to be left alone.” You were one hundred percent sure neither of them knew you were listening, so you kept a straight face and kept looking at the scenario.

“Oh no, don’t worry.” Amelie said. “I also thought It was strange of my sister, wanting to come up here. I guess they shared a thing.” she mischievously laughed. “And please, don’t think about us like that, I’m just not good at making friends I guess and well my sister, yes she looks kinda scary because she doesn’t smile that much, but she is very friendly once you get to know her.”

“Guess Chani just found someone who will understand him-” Lucas started to laugh.

“Also…” Amelie wasn’t finished. “I do like you a lot, you know Christina told me about what you did for her, I thought you were a very nice person. I’m just not too talkative, It’s truly not your fault.”

“Well, you are being talkative now… Thank you, I guess. It’s good to know… I also think you are a very nice person yourself.”

They both kept chatting and your attention went back to the stage when only 2 songs were left.

Chani and you kept exchanging shy looks and he came closer to you, so now his right arm oftenly made contact with your left arm. The tingles again. May them be damn.

“You know…” you finally said, looking directly at Chani’s eyes. As the sun was now directly hitting you both, you now had to close one of your eyes while looking up to him. According to you, you probably looked ridiculous. But for Chani, he felt his heart melt as he found you quite adorable.

The whole concert he kept looking at you. He never saw a girl like you before. You had this cool and serious aura, he felt very attracted to you since your eyes met again inside the venue. He kept having this strange feeling of wanting to get to know you. And since he couldn’t come up with a better idea he started to let it all out with Lucas. He kept asking him about you, and of course Lucas didn’t know much. He told Chani the only things he ever heard Amelie said, about how much time you dedicate to college, that’s why you couldn’t always be there for some of Amelie’s school activities. Unlike Chani, who spent a lot of time helping Lucas with them. So that’s why you two had never met before.

“I think their last song today is gonna be one of my favorites.” you breathed. You felt happy. A brand new kind of happy. You were glowing. So then, you gave him a little smile.

That’s all it took for him. He broke into a wide smile staring at you. He was almost speechless. He wanted nothing more than to get enough luck so you would get interested in him too. Having you by his side felt so right and warm, at that moment he knew he didn’t ever wanted you to go too far away from him, he had a thousand butterflies going crazy in his stomach so after a rush of courage he let out. “So… uh, if you want to, maybe I could give you my number? Is that okay?” His heart was about to jump from that second floor as if going into a suicide mission.

“That sounds great, I shall give you mine too then.” You agreed, you looked away while the last song started. You refused to look at him again, you didn’t want him to notice how flustered you were, you felt so damn lucky as if you had just won the lottery. Gathering all your strength, you managed to get back to your cool stare, while the song was breaking into the chorus you tried to enjoy the last drops of today’s show. Just as you predicted the sunset was here. As the song was reaching the end, by instinct you looked up and locked stares with Chani who was being sunkissed in the most beautiful way you never knew a person could be, smiling at you. While looking straight into his eyes, your heartbeats went faster and appreciating all his features you couldn’t help to wonder if you ever would be able to kiss him like the sun was doing it right now.

my short story start

In my mother’s home, there was a painting. A lovely painting, if somewhat amateur. And on the canvas displayed a unicorn, with pale, shining ivory skin that seemed to glow against the mossy greens and shadowed trees in the background. It had lacy chin hair like a goat, but a curly and long mane much like a horse. 

As a child, I remember playing with my train sets and old toy cars under that painting. I remember the late summer breeze that would flow into the house and the creaking wooden halls that would shutter under my every move. That painting was something magical to me, something to be stared at and admired, but never questioned, or even acknowledged when talking to my mother. 

It was as if, if I said a word about it, it would disappear. Cease to exist, and remain like a ghost in the echoes of my memory forevermore. 

My mother died when I was four years old. And I was taken to live with my grandmother, a cruel woman who lived in Philadelphia. That house in England was stolen from me, ripped from my childish hands and I was never given a single say. That old shivering blue house, which I remember so clearly, a stranger. And just as I feared, the painting was lost to me. 

Even now, as I wait here for Amelie’s funeral to end, I remember such things. 

My cousin beside me weeps, her blonde curly hair dull and flat and she wipes her eyes and sniffs to hold back sobs. And I think of my childhood home. I think of the swingset behind the house, which my mother would sit on those days she felt so melancholic. 

The casket begins to lower in the frosty ground. Jamie clings to my arm as she scrapes away her tears. “This is so sad,” is all she can whisper. 

“Do you want to go out to eat after this?” I begin to slowly lead her away. We’ve had enough of this by now. I look up to give a wave to my Aunt Regina, with her hands on her youngest son’s shoulders as he, puffy-faced and red, put on a tough face. She nods, her face tired and grey. 

“Yeah. Maybe pizza or something.” She gives out one last long, shaky sigh. “God. Isn’t this sad?” 

“It is.” Snow crunches under my stiff black shoes. It had nearly been a blizzard the night before. Of course, we couldn’t cancel. Not often do you have your funeral on your birthday. “Pizza sounds good.”

As Jamie closes the passenger door, I hear my name being shouted. I turn, and I see my cousin. 

“August, please wait a minute.” The chubby young man takes a few sharp breaths as he stomps over a pile of snow. “Will you?”

I dig a cigarette out of my pocket. “Of course.” Jamie taps on the window, and she and Cousin Ian exchange a shy wave. 

“Who’s she?” He digs something out of his coat pocket as I set a light. “She’s pretty. Girlfriend?”

“She’s your cousin.” 

He pauses to awkwardly blink for a few seconds, I take a puff, and he cheekily elbows me in the side. “Aw, shut up. Whatever, we’ve got a big family.”

I roll my eyes only to have a paper pointed at me. 

I look to Ian to see his expression darkened. “This is a letter that Amelie wanted to give you before she died,” he says as I take the envelope. I flip it over to see the thin, cursive letters spelling out my name. “Um, she didn’t. But I was the one to find it, so I felt like I had to be the one to get it to you.” 

Something in me hardens. “Thanks, Ian.” We give each other a pat, a goodbye, and turn away. 

“Was that Ian?” Jamie asks as I sit down. Her eyebrows are stitched together, and she’s staring at the envelope. 

“Shit, it’s cold in here.” I jam the key in place and the old vehicle seizures into life. “And yeah.” 

“Oh.” She fixes her blotchy eye makeup in the rearview mirror, and without looking at me continues, “It’s weird seeing him. He was like, a baby last time I saw him.”

“That’s funny.” But I’m not smiling. No, I don’t feel much of anything as I tear the envelope open. It’s scary, in a small way. Amelie was my grandmother, the woman who tormented me for years. The rigid bitch who fucked me up to the point the minute I turned thirteen I ran away to France to live with my mother’s sister, my Aunt Regina. The same woman who raised Jamie, despite her not being either of our mother’s. 

A hand touches mine. “Are you nervous?” Jamie’s eyes melt into mine. I must shield myself. The only person to ever make me cry was Jamie, and I know just looking at her, naked like this-

I wave it away. “No.”

I open it, and with one hand on my shoulder, Jamie reads:

August,

I have been meaning to speak to you for about one year now. I have come to regret some things with how you were raised under me. But what I regret most is not understanding you and not letting you understand me. Your mother was a bad daughter to put it kindly. You have been left in the dark by both she and I and I think, since you are now 22, you deserve the truth. However, a letter could not deliver the truth in a way that would make you understand. 

Your father was a shameful excuse for a man. He was a horror to know, and when he abandoned Grace I told her I would be there for her, though she would be required to live under my rules. Not only did she not listen, but she deiced to cut all communication off from not only me but everyone in the family. It was a very painful time for me and I became bitter. 

Grace met your father through a group of unruly young artist-type people, most of which were political radicals. The whereabouts of your father are unknown to me, however I do have the address, and only the address, of your mother and father’s mutual friend named Samuel Blau. 

August, I have reason to believe that your father was involved in some sort of grand theft. Find the painting. 

-Amelie

Snow falls softly around the car. My fingers are numb. And Jamie begins to cry. Of course that old witch would do this. She did it when she was alive. 

I flick on the radio. “Let’s get going, now.”

To Tell

Dimileth Weekday 2 Struggle @dimilethweek

(because I struggled with writing this damn it, I shit you not I was thinking in writing something about Dimitri not being able to take his newborn baby and I got in Ao3 just to see that in a summary hahahahaha, kill me...)

Also, I posted without checking Grammar maybe I'll do later.

It's 10:24 so technically it's Dimileth day 2 still

Words: 900?

Summary:

Dimitri Finally Revealed his dark past to his kids, he expects them to take it well.

Fodlan has lived almost 20 years of peace after Dimitri killed Edelgard, many things happened in that time, he asked Byleth to marry him, they got the wedding, they had a kid, then three years later twins, and another four years later another one, and right now five years later are waiting for the new baby. As of right now the first, Jeralt has thirteen years and is already training to become King one day, the twins have Nine and studying in the school of Sorcery, Amelie and Lambert those are their names, and the youngest Leo.

Dimitri knew this day will come, he just didn't think it will come so soon.

He was in front of them Seated in a couch sweating, yeah sweating in winter, they may have a fire at the other side and even though it could warm all the room someone shouldn't be sweating like him.

"Father are you alright?"

Lambert asked really Concerned

"I'm fine..."

He felt the warm hand of his wife over top his and she smiled directed at him.

"It's okay, you can do it"

It has a deeper meaning ' I'm right here' 

He sighed and finally look at the four.

"Listen, long time ago, even before your mother and I were together" he stopped their eyes were all on him.

"There was a war, it lasted six and something years"

He looked at Byleth and then at them.

"During that time... I..."

He looked at his hands and then at them

"I did things of which I'm not proud, things that when I remember I did I feel gross of myself, I killed people... I killed innocent people and ruined many lives..."

He saw how their faces changed to surprise.

"And I hate myself for it, if I could, I'll change it all, but I can't,  I just have to live with all I have done, that's why I been doing my best so that all of Fodlan becomes a better place" he felt Byleth's hand envelop his.

"And I don't want any of you to live with that kind of regret, one of the things I hate myself more for doing was killing my step-sister, I'm sure if she and I had found another way, maybe today she would be here..."

Silence filled the room

"Something you want to say, kids?" Byleth asked finally.

"We had an aunt?!"

They all asked.

"That... wasn't what I expect at all... But yes, her mother was my step-mother."

"What was her name?"

And maybe that what he struggled the most to say.

"Edelgard Von Hresvelg"

Because now everyone was looking at Amelie.

Amelie Edelgard Blaiddyd.

"We named you to honor her" she looked at Byleth and then at him.

"Why did you kill her?"

He sighed and looked down.

"She wanted to change Fodlan, in a good way, but the way to do it was wrong, she wanted to destroy the church and kill Rhea, and she will do anything to do so... But I tried... I tried to give her another opportunity to stop everything and she didn't take it... And again I did it, a way to save herself" he stopped and looked at them

"She stabbed me in the shoulder" Byleth tighten the hand with which she's holding his hand.

"So I give it back to her..."

He now tightens his hand.

"She wasn't the only to die because of me, Felix's Father, Rodrigue, he died saving me too" he took her hand with both his now.

"Had I not been as I have in that time, a girl wouldn't have tried to attack me and he would be alive"

"That's not your fault" Jeralt almost shout

"In a way it is, because I didn't want to hear those around me and for doing so it cost an important life to me, and yet if it wasn't because of it maybe I wouldn't be here... Maybe none of us would be here..." This time he looked at his wife, who smiled deeply at him.

"What I try to say is... I don't want any of you to make a mistake you later regret, be careful, and patient, heard the around you, and if you doubt about what they say Live for what you believe because maybe those are not the voices you need"

There was everlasting silence Dimitri didn't want to live and then Leo goes walking to him.

"We're you sad when she was gone?"

"Yes"

He didn't have to think it was true, he wanted to help her and yet she refused, he wish he could have done more, but Byleth was there if it wasn't him Edelgard attacked it could be Byleth and he wouldn't have forgiven himself had something happened to her.

Then something very beautiful happened, his son opened his arms in a hug gesture, so Dimitri smiled and took him, a hug was exchanged.

He felt relief.

And then Amelie was in front too, getting close to hug him, and then another and another, and he had all his kids hugging him, he felt such relief, they loved him even though he told them that, he couldn't ask for anything else and yet, he looked at Byleth, who tried to be in that family hug, he felt a kick in his lower region from her belly.

He could only think the Goddess give him a hand this day, and that he was able to take it.

She may have thought all he has done was dumb, but right here and now he didn't.

[billyhottamale]

Someone posed as Adrien's mother, he remembers her with blue eyes, he told ladybug she had her eyes, but who is it? Not his aunt, she had to be home with Felix and her husband, and why would his only memory of her be when he was a baby? And why does his father have green eyes?

Perhaps Gabriel is insane(this is canon) and took the child of the love of his life, maybe to get her to him, maybe they were superheros and he was madly in love with her, but couldn't bear(?) To see her with someone else, being happy without him, so let's say he took down the dad, fought Emilie because she wouldn't let him get away with this, fucked up her miraculous, she fricking died, he took her and her baby, made a sentimonster to raise Adrien, made her with green eyes so Adrien wouldn't be suspicious of his own eye color, her twin sister looks the same so the math adds up, he takes over the identity of Adrien's real father and later on "kills" the sentimonster in order to fulfill his wishes to bring Emilie back

So Adrien's childhood wish, he recalls his real parents, the people who wanted him good and loved him, but his wish is something Gabriel wants, the sentimonster does what he wants, why didn't it show Adrien as a little kid with his "parents"? if they showed us little Adrien with Gabe and green eyed mom, we wouldn't be making all this drama, and we would hate on Emilie because Adrien's wish is to be what his parents want, not father, parents, they want us to see the difference from his memory and what he knows, why as a baby? He doesn't have any more memories of them and for sure the crew wants us to freak out and go theory crazy

There's something that's bothering me, I'm trying to make sense of all of this, but Felix and Adrien looking the same is so much more than we think it is, yall know if identical twins have a baby with another set of identical twins, the cousins come out identical, Amelie and Emilie are identical, maybe the fathers are too, makes sense right? So how is Gabriel able to pose as adriens father, how is Amelie not suspicious?

She probably knows, she is doing something against him, isn't she? Did he do something to her he believed wouldn't make her suspicious, but didnt work and she's just keeping it down? What's happening between the two of them? What are they hiding?

And the other two families, why are these, let's say four counting Adrien and Felix's families as two for the different last names and whatever fucked up shit happening in Felix's side, four families so mysterious, so weird, so powerful and rich, so not right, what is happening?

Why is this show so deep, why is there so much to unpack, why is it so complex, I'm dying right now

OP great post, got me heavy thinking, anyone else want to make sense of all of this, cause I can't no more

the REAL scary part of this episode

I know we’re all excited about Luka secretly knowing the truth, and how hilarious CrocoJagged was, but this episode dropped a much, much more subtle bomb that scared me more than anything. I’ve already seen people talking about it so some of this will be repeated, but allow me to lay some puzzle pieces out on the table.

This. This drawing. What. The. Heck. Is. This. Adrien’s blue eyed mother and green eyed, brown haired, smiling father? Something is super fishy.

I saw someone mention Adrien’s line in Simon Says, “you’ve got her eyes”. I’m aware that this line is very different in different dubs, but in English, he tells Ladybug that her eyes remind him of his mother. Ladybug’s blue eyes. We were all so confused by why he would say this, but I think we finally got our answer. It was just a subconscious slip of the tongue on his part, and he didn’t even realize anything was wrong, but oh boy could it mean everything.

After seeing all this is I was shaken and I started re-evaluating everything we know about Adrien’s family. First up: when have we actually seen Emilie in the show?

And here I noticed something that looks like it could be very clever trickery. We can probably safely say that she did indeed star in Solitude as the opening credits of the film suggest. But. Everything related to this movie is in black and white. Interesting. When else do we see Emilie? In a coffin. With her eyes closed.

And here, in Andre’s repressed dreams box? We’d assume that that’s the same person, but notice the black blazer.

Just the type Amelie Graham de Vanily wears. Who has green eyes. And looks identical to her deceased sister. And even has an oddly similar name. And just so happens to be conniving, scheming about something that we don’t know about yet aside from it being related to the twin rings. Let’s pull up some pictures of Emilie from around the Agreste household.

All green-eyed and white blazer-ed. This is the woman who Gabriel looks up at obsessively, who holds Adrien’s hand and makes him smile... but who is she?

Here are some statements I believe to be true:

There is a blue eyed woman and a green eyed woman

There is a white blazer woman and a black blazer woman

The blue eyed woman is Adrien’s mother

The green eyed woman served as a mother figure to Adrien and a partner to Gabriel

There is a green eyed, black blazer wearing woman alive and scheming against Gabriel

We don’t know the eye color of the dead woman, but her blazer is white

Let me also bring to attention Amelie’s son, Felix, who looks exactly like Adrien, and Felix’s recently deceased father, who is a mystery.

I don’t have any solid theories as to what this suspiciousness all adds up to, but here are some ideas:

Emilie and Amelie have such similar names because sometimes, when we think someone is saying the name of one, they’re actually referring to the other and hiding it in plain sight

The woman in the opening scene of Solitude is Amelie, not Emilie, the main star

The woman in the coffin has blue eyes, thus is Adrien’s true mother

Kinda crack-y: The five-petaled brooch on the white blazer is a disguised miraculous. All charged miraculous have five separate sections, and the butterfly and peacock, both in the possession of the Agrestes, are brooches. We know Gabriel sells a copy of this design in his store since it became Vanisher’s akuma object, and the only other jewelry design we’ve seen from him has been a copy of the fox miraculous.

Cont. I’m not sure if we’ve ever seen the peacock miraculous actually disguised on Gabe, but it’s possible that either the jewel in the cabinet is his disguise mode and the flower is the green eyed woman’s, OR that’s her disguised peacock miraculous and the one she’s wearing in the photo is her disguised butterfly.

The blue eyed woman used to wear a black blazer, and the green eyed woman used to wear a white blazer, but after the blue eyed woman’s death, she was dressed in the other’s clothing and the green eyed woman donned her clothes and replaced her

The deceased man Felix calls his father is the green-eyed man Adrien remembered in his wish

I know how much you guys love hearing sentimonster theories, but the show is clearly foreshadowing something here, that’s undeniable. The peacock miraculous has been in the family for what, fifteen years? At some point it was used until it broke, and supposedly that’s what killed the woman in the coffin. What do we have here? Two boys with different parents who look exactly the same, two women who look exactly the same save for one trait, twin rings shrouded in mystery that the GdV family really wants back for some reason, a devoted bodyguard who never speaks, an even more devoted secretary who’s been around forever and whose last name means “without a heart”, a blue eyed man obsessed with serving and protecting a woman to the point of madness, and last but not least, the fifteen-ish y/o boy who doesn’t remember his childhood and feels like he was literally made to be his parents’ image of perfection.

It could even be more than one of them. You know that whole thing about how kids can only use the special power once, but adults don’t have that limit? Maybe making one true human using the miraculous is enough to break it, but maybe it’s not. Maybe you need to really exert it to hit that barrier.

This is all just me spitballing, so I’d love to hear other people’s ideas, but there is, without a doubt, something mad suspicious going on with these people. Keep in mind that I also don’t remember every line of dialogue from the show. There could be stuff disproving me, or stuff that was cleverly said in a vague way on purpose to hide the truth. Otherwise, I hope the episode Gabriel Agreste could shine some light on our missing puzzle pieces such as the rings, the movie Solitude, the mysterious Tsurugi family, and even the Bourgeois.

Keyra: Love you too sis.

Gay, straight, or bisexual?

Keyra: Is this really necessary?

Leyla: It WOULD get some of your fangirls off your back. Keyra: Oh well then. Straight. Leyla: I am straight too. I think... Keyra: You think? Leyla: I normally aim for guys but... do Asari count as woman or not? Keyra: You slept with one, you tell me. Leyla: One? *laughs* Keyra: Please, no details....

Do you ever want to marry and have kids one day?

Keyra: I am not sure if I would make a good mom. Leyla: You are already some sort of mom for the whole crew Sis, and given what a madhouse that is a few kiddos of your own shouldn’t be a problem at all. I for myself would like to marry and maybe have kids.

Do you have any fanboys/fangirls?

Keyra: *growls* Leyla: That means yes, and she is not very happy about it. Keyra: The only thing I have to say about this is  “very tasteful shrine”.... Leyla: I wish someone would make a shrine for me... Keyra: You can have all of them!

What are you most afraid of?

Keyra: What most people are afraid of I think. Loosing the ones close to me. Leyla nods in agreement.

What do you usually wear?

Do you love someone?

Keyra: I care deeply for many persons close to me. Leyla: *doesn’t comment on that this time* I am in love with an amazing turian badboy.

When was the last time you wet yourself?

Keyra and Leyla are looking at each other, than back to the questioner: Keyra: Are you Leyla: fucking serious?

Well, it’s not over yet!

Keyra: Hurray...

What class are you? (high class, middle class, low class)

Keyra: I am not sure, I come from a family of Officers, so you could call us military nobility? We never had a lack of money either. Leyla: My mother actually was quite wealthy, not sure what happened to the money after she died. So, middle class at least I think.

How many friends do you have?

Keyra: Enough I would say. I think the quality of friends is more important than their quantity. Leyla: I can second that. Rather one true friend that stands with you when everything goes to hell, than a dozen who bails as soon as it gets heated. And hanging out with Commander Shepard it gets heated very often. Keyra: I know...

What are your thoughts on pie?

Keyra: Yum. Leyla: Me too!

Favorite drink?

Keyra: Coffee. Leyla: I really like red whine. The sweet one!

What’s your favorite place?

Keyra: I really like my cabin on the Normandy or the observation lounge with its view on the stars. Leyla: Oh I am pretty sure the stars are not your favourite view there... Outch! Stop kicking me! Anyway, I really like the presidium on the Citadel with its lakes and trees and all that.

Are you interested in someone?

Keyra: Maybe. Leyla: I have my interest pinned to my boyfriend.

What’s your bra cup/willy size?

Keyra just raises a brow. Leyl: I have the larger cup size from the two of us, that’s enough information.

Would you rather swim in the lake or the ocean?

Keyra: In the ocean. Leyla Neither of them. I could drown in one of them, then I would prefer the ocean. I heard drowning in salt-water is faster than in fresh water.

What’s your type?

Keyra: I’ll pass. Leyla: Oh I could tell.... *glances at Keyras slightly raised foot* Now that I think about it, better not. Anyway, for me, am not sure if I really have a “type”

Any fetishes?

Keyra: Does headbutting reporters that ask stupid questions count as fetish? Leyla: Uh oh, she gets this look that she always has before headbutting a krogan.

Seme or uke? Top or bottom? Dominant or submissive?

Keyra: Why do I get the feeling that Kasumi wrote this questions? Leyla: Please, Kasumi would just hack your inbox, getting all the saucy details first hand. Keyra: There are no “saucy details” in my inbox...

Camping or indoors?

Keyra: Indoors. Normally when I sleep outside it means I am on a mission, not very comfy.

Leyla: I am for indoors too. Sleeping under a blanket of stars looses a lot of its appeal, when you lived on the streets for years.

Are you wanting to quiz to end?

Keyra and Leyla unanimously : Yes!
