#maybe they tell themselves that and conveniently ignore what that implies for adrien

dont leave this stuff in the tags girl

are there sentimonster emilie fics?

(there's 2k emilie fics and I'm going through the tag, feel free to send any my way if there are!)

assuming we go with the public lie of she disappeared rather than died.

gabriel and nathalie taking their grief and anger and whatever unnamed attractions and feelings they had toward each other to make emilie again. not their child, obviously, but the amalgamation of the love they both had for her.

(though, one can't deny the themes of it.)

they're reluctant at first--for gabriel, controlling a sentimonster has brief satisfaction. most times, he knows through correcting adrien's behavior, it's more hassle than it's worth. the steps of it: argue, give them a chance to correct themselves, control. sometimes, it's straight to step 3. for nathalie, it's a host of issues: confronting her feelings towards adrien being real vs. not real; would she control emilie, too, given the chance?; will she---no, could she, this copy, ever measure up?

is it the best for adrien to have her back?

reluctance gives way to what-ifs and memories. gives way to possibilities and what they remember about her. the things they loved, and the things they hated.

could they.... would they change those things?

(how does one exist in other perceptions? what do other people see in you, and what do they exaggerate due to their own intolerances? what is strikingly real and true? what is so foreign, like a copy of a copy of a copy, reduced to grainy degradation?)

so, both their hands clasped around the peacock miraculous (not without both of them separately thinking of another event that created life), they remake emilie.
