Girls will listen to Codependency by Orla Gartland at 12:45 on a Thursday and have the sudden urge to write miraculous ladybug fic

[maestro04yayyy]

The thought occurs, its only fair I explain my spin on toxic Yuri Julerose given I asked for yours.

So, the original idea was from a concept I had called 'Six-Teen Heroes' where Gabriel had the Ladybug & went by Scarlet Sovereign & created Charm Constructs. He managed to ambush Fu who had to release the Miraculous & escape with but a few, while they went off to find suitable wielders who also couldn't fuck them over as Noroo had been.

Hence choosing teens & being aware of each others picks but their users not. Juleka got Roaar as she was excited and awed by a giant tiger monster in her bedroom.

Anyway, becoming Violet Tigress is kind of like a switch in her brain.

She metaphorically represses, rejects or tries to cast off all the stuff she hates about herself and embraces the frenzied chaotic energy & power of the Tiger, Combustion & Chaos, becoming the berserker of the team.

She also completely lacks the confidence, or self worth, to approach Rose as herself & so does so as Violet Tigress. But in that state she's a lot more aggressive, forward, and generally domineering in manner, a touch feral if you will.

Rose would probably be into that if Juleka did it, she kind of is to Tigress, but at the same time she doesn't know Tigress. So its basically just the strange super powered woman being hyper familiar with her but also protecting her. So it creates a skewed power dynamic without Juleka realizing it.

I hadn't thought about much on Rose's end, but I do like your idea that there's a part of her that likes being the center off someone's attention, of being needed and that, that can get messy if it goes out of control too, so there could be elements of that, along with perhaps romanticizing stuff she shouldn't be it for her or Juleka's ill.

That's if one wanted to get real messy with it anyway XD

It could easily be resolved too, but I sometimes enjoy messy stuff ;)

Fun aside, while this is happening, Chloe & Kagami are having an elaborate sort of friends but also rivals (as heroes) to lovers courtship. Lila is refusing the level of intimacy or introspection to determine if she even likes or just uses people. Nino is Clark Kenting on accident with a gutsy reporter Alya, and Luka is very, fucking, tired.

Ohhh thanks!!!!!

Amd i love this and it's awesome!!!!

Poor juleka doesn't know what she is doing but the chaos is amazing!!!!! And yeah it would get really messy if rose is like we theorized!!!

Also messy stuff is great every once in a while!!!!

And god kagami and chloe's end sound very cool!!!! And so does nino's(I really love the term clark kenting, it might be becaise i strated reading some dc fan fiction)

Luka is always tired, he is the only one with emotional intelligence and more than 3 brancells.

For Free Day, triple point of view from both our heroines and past Miraculous user Tart.

Day 7: Free Day

Tart woke up in an unfamiliar place. No, not Tart, the image she had left with Tikki so that her successors could ask for advice. And now, one had done so. She looked like a noble her age. Then again, the home was so different centuries must have passed, maybe they simply had more food in this day and age.

Something she recognized, however, were the earrings of the girl who had summoned her. The same her true self once wore. Also, the pattern on the suit (that they would have burned at the stake for in her time, but things must have changed since then).

“Good morrow. What is your name, holder?” she asked to the girl.

“I-I’m Ladybug.” the girl replied. An English term? How did their language get so important? Nevermind.

“So, what have you gotten yourself into that requires my assistance? A war that needs to be ceased? A plague of dragons?” She really hoped the English hadn’t done it AGAIN.

“Uh… Nothing like that. I just… Tikki said you also fell in love with a Miraculous holder.”

“What. You call me for a mere love story?! End the Reunion!”

“But-”

“Ladybug, what are you doing in the Louvre at this hour?”

Tart and Ladybug turned to the newcomer, a girl wearing a fox-themed costume – and the image prayed she wasn’t another Pied Piper, the situation that led to such a man being entrusted with the Fox Miraculous had been beyond messy.

“I’m having a Reunion.” Ladybug said.

“Oh, it’s about that Supreme weirdo that started making the rounds right as Gabby’s trial started? Ok, I’ll just wait here, we’ve got a patrol to do.”

Tart understood now. Her successor had found love, but the mission had its needs. She knew what she had to say – and did so.

“I understand.” Ladybug said once Tart’s tale was finished.

“Girls, you know that the Fox and its power over illusions allow me to see the past wielders?” the Fox asked. “Because I heard everything, and Tartina here just spewed the worst concocted lie I’ve ever heard from anyone not into politics, conspiracy theories, or a cult.”

Did the Fox just call her a pastry?! More creative than what the English called her.

Ladybug could scarcely believe Goupil, of all people, could call someone a liar like that, especially this person.

“Goupil, do you know who this is?” Ladybug asked.

“Name’s Jehanne Tart going by her signature and trial transcript.” Goupil replied. “Most widespread version in French is Jeanne d’Arc. Joan of Arc in English, as back then they couldn’t be bothered to admit they got their asses kicked by the Maiden because she was a skilled and charismatic tactician and they were complacent since Verneuil rather than witchcraft, let alone check if there was a place called Arc. To the Church, Sancta Ioanna, as Latin is cooler.”

“I’m a saint?! Me?” Joan asked in surprise and excitement.

“Yes, the Patron Saint of France.” Ladybug confirmed.

“And someone whose own word at the heresy trial contradicts the bullshit I’ve just heard.” Goupil continued. “So, did you lie back then under oath or right now?”

“Now, obviously. I would have never disgraced an oath on the Holy Bible.” Joan admitted.

“WHAT!” Marinette shouted.

“I’ve been a general, and a victory through deception is less costly than a honorable one. But I could not lie under oath to tell the truth… And I cannot lie as a saint. As the image of a saint.”

“But why did you die at all?!”

“Lie to children, holder. I swore an oath of virginity when I was 13, and when I found romantic attraction for my colleague I kept my vow and wasn’t distracted from my missions from the Lord and from the Order. But you made no oath, so I made up this Dark Grimalkin, as if the English of my time would have been allowed to even see a Miraculous after they caused a plague of dragons through their stupidity, to underscore that you need to set priorities. You have a Miraculous and a mission. If this romantic attraction would interfere, you need to either grow out of It or choose a successor. If it doesn’t-”

“Pretty sure she outgrew that months ago.” Goupil interfered. “I mean, after Crocoduo and the aftermath of Gabby’s arrest it’s clear you are mature enough.”

“Then my advice is to see if he reciprocate, if not take things slow until and if he does, and if yes slam your hand to a wall near his head and kiss him until you lack air. People can be utterly oblivious to this kind of things.”

That… That was surprisingly aggressive. And made sense. Though maybe she would need to end the Reunion before enacting the advice, Ladybug didn’t want to know her opinions on homosexuality.

Goupil wasn’t sure what was weirder. That Joan of Arc could be so romantically aggressive, or that Ladybug had just said she’d do it and meant it.

“Then good luck, holder, and please name your first daughter after me.” the saint’s memory said.

“Uh… Yeah. I’ll do it. Thanks for all, and End Reunion.” Ladybug said as she turned to Goupil.

The Fox Holder was seriously irritated, as her sudden jealousy made her clear one thing: she had fallen for this girl. Still, she wasn’t going to show it, as she often said there’s plenty of people in the world. All she could was to be there for her beloved, and plan a murder if the guy (because the Maiden had referred to the partner as a male, clearly it was one) turned out unworthy, and-

SLAM!

Did Ladybug just slam her hand near her head? Wait a minute…

Goupil’s train of thoughts was interrupted when Ladybug kissed her, refusing to let her go until they had to gasp for air.

“What… What happened to making sure I reciprocate?” Goupil asked.

“You are pretty obvious here.” Ladybug replied.

Goupil felt somewhat insulted that, somehow, she had missed that. But why care? She had a girlfriend who’d be there for her, all was finally right.

Afterword

As you may have heard, I find Astruc’s take on Joan of Arc deeply insulting. She’s one of France’s greatest heroes, literally the nation’s patron saint (canonized in 1920 and proclaimed patron saint of France two years later), and that guy spat on that to add an unnecessary romantic plot. To someone who literally referred to herself in writing as “Joan the Maiden”. Also calling a literal child as a warmonger, a child that grew into a pious and generous man that tried to end the war through diplomacy – and that right after correctly pointing out he was a child and it was the Duke of Bedford to call the shots. Pretty big narrative contradiction there.

What’s worse, that was the third time they brought in the Hundred Years War, and the first two mentions were historically very accurate, the episode “Darkblade” presenting how the Count of Armagnac got himself lynched without naming names or mentioning that the Parisians let the English in just to make sure the Dauphine, who had put the Count in charge in the first place, would stay away, and in “Ephemeral” the time-displaced Joan calls for Gilles de Rais and Bertrand de Poulengy, the latter being only known for being Joan’s earliest companion and testifying at her rehabilitation trial. They couldn’t have more offensive had they tried.

So, here’s my take, as historically accurate as I could make it, including how she signed her letters as “Jehanne” (once she learned, that is), her family name being initially spelled on documents as “Tart”, and ghosts in medieval Europe being considered at best images of the defunct and a trick of devil at worst. Also, a homage to Puella Magi Tart Magica, whose take on the Maid of Orleans is much closer to the historical one, right down to her famous standard (identical to descriptions with just one difference).

[generalluxun]

So, I now we've discussed the Marinette Butterfly user Villain AU a bit and I wanted to share some musings I thought you'd find interesting.

I mentioned in talking I sort of had two distinct themes/ideas in mind that don't really fit together but that both are interesting to me.

So the basic set up is the same in both versions, something bad happens to Marinette's family over the school break. So she's got enough isolation from that when she's gifted a pendant as a comfort present, no one is present enough to notice her shenanigans.

She & her family are good people and they didn't deserve this (True) he resolves to access the power "Greater than Death" to right this wrong, & starts by sending out butterflies to locate the Miraculous.

With the broad empathy of the pendant & the more direct line via the butterflies, her perception of people becomes deeply bitter. People are becoming as miserable and angry as she is over the most minor of things! Leading to an increasing alienation from other people that makes her fall to villainy after a disastrous (Through butterfly) conversation with a transformed Fu.

This leads to "Dark Wings Rise."

Anyway the two variants I envisioned are as follows:

1: A deconstructive theme on the nature of "Good social skills VS bad social skills.

By which I mean, Marinette canonically is quite deft socially when not flabbergasted by her crush or super stressed. She offers genuine aid to those around her and gifts gives freely. This leads her to being very well liked.

In contrast, Chloe has terrible social skills in most casual scenarios she's exposed too and is actively disliked. & Lila, while well liked is only that way through using "Bad" skills, such as lying, rather than genuine one's.

The contrast would be in them, despite falling into the traditionally 'bad' category being her opposition. While Marinette uses her influence in the class to target them cos good skills can still be used for bad things.

In this context I imagine her Catalyst would be Sabrina. Whom she whisked away from Chloe and whose drive to be useful to others made her very easy to convert into an Akuma that existed to empower Marinette.

Lila's response to the class would basically be, "Is this a cult? Am I being educated in a cult class?" While Chloe's is more just "Everyone hated me anyway, & I don't trust anyone any-how bring it!"

The biggest hurdles would be Marinette's social skills not taking a dive with her head space. That she'd need to be transformed to use Nooroo's empathy power. & the fact she's not naturally that kind of schemer anyway.

2: A Good Victim Becomes a Bad Victim, VS a Bad Victim

Messily put, but fairly straightforward. A big issue many have with the show, and that can be analyzed inside it, even in the earlier seasons. Is how "Bad victims" who act out of hurt, ignorance or malice brought out in them don't usually get the same kind of empathy as the "Good victims". IE, the people whose trauma doesn't manifest in ways that are inconvenient or unpleasant or messy.

Let alone the perception of needing to earn people's assistance by improving before you get support, even when one is a child with no support networks, minimal guidance and struggle even identifying the problem. Yeah sure that may make it easier for people to help them but that's like asking someone with PTSD to stop having panic attacks before they get therapist for their panic attacks.

In this case, Marinette's not a character who canonically can easily grasp the "Bad victim" experience, or more subtle coercions. As a result, even when in a position like Ladybug she sometimes fumbles some major points or misses red flags Chloe & Gabriel/Audrey respectively.

So thematically she's unaware of it but her decline into villainy also involves her becoming a "Bad victim". One who chases away people trying to comfort her, if perhaps less overtly than Chloe, as her pity well taps out because "being embarrassed over a crush isn't as bad as what I went through but you feel as bad, how dare you!"

Meanwhile Chloe, largely due to circumstances is put in a somewhat better situation, be it a team, or via access to the Kwami or even just the admittedly clumsy efforts of Fu to stop her from getting killed by Akuma every few days.

The point is she's getting the help first and improving her standing in class and her mental health because of it. A fact which boggles Marinette who can't see how, or why, this is happening and perceives it as another injustice.

Her Catalyst would be Lila who sees the skilled seamstress has become socially isolated by her own hand. Her casual use of Akuma & efforts to see if Marinette can be a useful 'friend' lead her to becoming an accomplice. One who likely realizes too late just how out of hand this all is.

I think he big struggle with this idea would be how things got 'that bad' and 'that isolating' for Marinette. At least without making either her social network look shitty, or her own inclinations being naturally towards villainy regardless.

Conclusion:

I think over all the second version feels more coherent. Good social skills can be used for bad is more like an episode theme than a series theme. Plus as said it requires more explanations for how things go the way they do than the other.

Especially if Lila's less "Machiavellian villain" and more, "Oh she makes good outfits & has no friends, I can fix that & get free clothes! Oh she has magic powers, I want magic powers, I-... I think I am in over my head here... Double down double down!"

Notes:

Though it could also easily be linked with some other ideas I had recently. Like that more expanded villain cast from the regular AU.

IE, Sorcerers seeking the Miraculous, temple monk survivor after Fu, the Tsurugi's being anti villains/antagonists but not villains. Lila actually being Volpina, ETC.

Let alone the recent "Butterfly can do everything Peacock does with creative thinking" idea. Tough in that case explaining where Adrien came from may be hard without more of an overt AU...

Unless, the story starts into the school year, and Adrien, having befriended Marinette early on gives her his mothers pendant perhaps? Could still have Gabriel causing his own kind of trouble too... Hmm...

I muse, even as I know I likely lack the time to write this ><

Anyway I hope it was interesting!

I like the analysis. Second scenario definitely feels more viable. Drop senti-Adrien and the blending of the Butterfly/peacock doesn't matter. I would *not* bring sorcery/other stuff in. You already have a *lot* going on. You are past the point of adding complexity.

Maybe Tomorrow

FlutterBee: Civilian x On Patrol. 610 words. 🌠 𝓓𝓮𝓭𝓲𝓬𝓪𝓽𝓮𝓭 𝓽𝓸 𝓢𝓽𝓮𝓵𝓵𝓪 🌠

The sun is setting, turning pinks and yellows in the blocky slivers of horizon visible through the towering buildings that make up her slice of the city. There's a cool breeze blowing past her cheek, dragging dried, crunchy leaves across the pavement. Cars pass by, easy, without the rush of daytime. She can hear a distant echo of street musicians, and they aren't bad. Maybe it's just the day she had, but- for a moment- she considers tracking them down and staying a while to listen.

She really should go home, though, and she will. Two cats await in her apartment, and the poor things must be starving.

A flier flutters against the phone poll it's been stapled to.

THE OFFICIAL HONEYBEE HOTLINE, OPEN 8PM TO 12AM WEEKDAYS.

The fluttering edge of the paper catches her eye, and then the bumblebees that border the page. It makes her smile, even before she really knows what she's looking at. 

Stopping, Florence takes the flier in her hand, and skims it.

Is this... real?

She giggles at the idea. That Honeybee runs a hotline- that Honeybee runs around to put up fliers advertising her hotline!

Florence tears off one of the little paper tab thingies with the phone number on it, from the bottom of the page. Her nails are dull, digging against the paper, tearing it unevenly. She sticks it in her pocket.

– – –

With the cats fed, Florence curls up on the couch. She's changed into her pajamas for the night, pulled her hair into a messy bun, and she puts on Gilmore Girls, for peaceful and kind background noise. 

There, in her soft sweatpants, with her long, fluffy blue hair, Florence looks down at the number she pulled off the flier earlier.

.... She smiles, giddy. Because if she really needed Honeybee, she could use the miraculous communicators. But... no, that's not what she wants right now.

She glances at the clock on the wall. 8:04 PM. Honeybee should just be starting to take calls, right? Florence tugs out her phone- an Android user- and dials the number.

Her heart flutters in her chest. She lifts it to her ear. Her neck warms with the blood rushing to her cheeks, butterflies filling her stomach. She waits.

"You've reached the Honeybee hotline! Please hold!"

Florence giggles, just to herself, alone in her living room. "Anything for you, Honeybee," she teases nobody.

"...Oh! Well, in that case-" 

Florence's eyes widen, and she just barely fights the urge to chuck her phone across the room. 

"What can I do for you tonight, civilian?" 

Honeybee's voice... is like sunshine passing through honey. Smooth, sweet, but bright, beautiful. Not to mention playful. The teasing lull in her voice makes Florence's heart tumble around her chest, making her face flush darker. 

Florence opens her mouth- simultaneously, her hand flies to cover her mouth.

"... Civilian? Civilian, is this an emergency? You-" 

"No! No," Florence blurts, hand falling to grip at the couch. Her heart is doing funny things in her chest- completely new things in her chest. "I- I'm just a f-f- a fan!"

Honeybee laughs. 

And Florence can't even pretend she's bothered that Honeybee's laughing at her. Because Honeybee's laughing at her. She covers her mouth with her hand again, hiding a delirious smile. Oh, to be made a complete fool for Honeybee. 

Florence opens her mouth again, but- but no words come out. She stumbles, stutters- and then in a sudden sapphic panic, she hangs up.

Her phone is lost to the couch cushions, and her face meets the warm embrace of a pillow. 

Maybe tomorrow night she will think of what to say, first.

[melissak2802]

Thinking about the Peacock Miraculous.

I think if they really needed to do the "artificial human" plotline, maybe they should have better invented a different Miraculous for that. Miraculous of life or something.

Because it kind of completely loses connection to "emotion". And the thing with sapient/actually alive sentimonsters is not even the only one problem with this Miraculous.

Leaving for now the "actually alive" thing already out of the picture, since it's a whole messy matter on its own.

From what I can see, the fan ideas of reimagining the peacock tend to result with more consistent and promising concepts. I especially liked the version in @teawinx 's apparently abandoned ML rewrite where sentimonsters are something like ghosts embodying the victim's fears and emotional problems and made to haunt them. This is both fitting for "emotion" and a very promising concept for character study of anyone.

Another good idea would be if sentimonsters would still be the person's minions like in canon but could be made only from the user's emotions, not someone else's. It would remove the redundancy of creating sentimonsters for already akumatized characters (aka, whose current feelings are already personified as their akuma self). Instead, Mayura and Shadowmoth would be creating them to aid when they personally are at the battlefield, not unlike what happened at Heroes Day. (So during the Heroes Day the sentimonster would be made of Mayura's feelings, not Hawkmoth's) It would not even require to change much in the following seasons - just make instances like Lighteye and Guiltrip part of the Akuma's power instead of sentimonster, and it's done.

Another option, to add interesting nuances, it also could be the previous option but them being harder to control. Such as, if in order to give orders to your sentimonster you would have to firstly control the feeling it embodies, or else it would just blindly run on raw emotion unable to change tactics. It would be a good metaphor for raw passions being a source of strength but also danger.

What other ideas could be possible? And has anyone thought of a way of dealing with the artificial human thing without making too much mess?

[kawaiichibiart]

With the new trailer out, we now know what Felix (or different timeline Adrien (please be Felix)) looks like with the dog miraculous.

So now I can talk about my thoughts like I did for the ladybug and cat miraculous (and later on I will go over the mouse, turtle, bee and snake, the only other ones who have had more than one user in show).

So, let's begin with Sabrina aka Miss Hound.

Overall, I do like her design. Do I think it's the best? No. But it's also not that bad. As much as I like the shorts/romper, I wouldn't have made them look like her usual outfit's shorts. If I wanted to make her hero outfit look like her usual outfit, I'd consider what her silhouette would look like and base my design off that. So, personally, to keep this:

I would have scrapped the shorts and gone with a skirt like Pigella, or a dress. If I wanted shorts, I would have gone for something that looked like dress shorts, or some sort of khaki shorts. Something that didn't really flare out.

This is also a first where we don't see the costume come with ears that appear on top of the head. The hat is a cute idea. It's not my favorite thing, I'll be honest. But the idea is cute and I do think it can be done better.

Again, overall, I don't think Miss Hound is a bad design. There are a few minor things I would change here and there, but overall, I think it's fine.

And now onto (hopefully) Felix.

Yes, I will be referring to him as Felix, I don't care, let me hope.

Felix!! Hero name unknown.

Much like I did with Scarabella, I'm solely going off of what we see from the trailers.

I do like Felix's design more than Miss Hound. Like, honestly, I'd probably take what I'm assuming is his weapon (a ball) around his neck and move it to his waist/hip. But it doesn't bother me that much.

Where Miss Hound's outfit is mainly orange, with the black and white as more of an accent, Felix's is mostly orange and white with the black as the accent. And I honestly think this is the better combo of the two.

Also, because I had to see them side by side:

Felix's hair looks like a combo of Adrien's and Chat Noir's. It's messy like Chat's, but it still looks more like Adrien's civilian hair. It's very much an inbetween thing.

All in all, I like his design. But what will seal my final thoughts is to see him in action.

The Power of Luck [Chapter One]

Read The Power of Luck on AO3

Masterlist [All Works]

Masterlist [The Power of Luck Series]

Written for Maribat March Day 6 - Miraculous Side Effects

The Ladybug Miraculous had quite a few side effects. Marinette was able to think quick on her feet, she was a skilled tactician in battle, and her reaction time was half that of a normal human. Most notably, the Ladybug Miraculous granted its user the force known as Miraculous Luck, which, depending on the situation, was sometimes more of a curse than a blessing. Marinette didn't get to choose how that good luck manifested. For instance, when she needed an extra day to finish a history project, her school closed down due to a gas leak. Or when she wished for a fresh start after the defeat of Hawkmoth, her parents were offered a deal to grow their bakery business in America.

Marinette assured her parents that she didn't mind moving. After all, most of her class had already moved on. Lila had been deported to Italy, narrowly avoiding jail time. Chloé (much to her dismay) was sent by her father to an all-girls boarding school in England. Adrien was taken in by his Aunt Amelie (as Gabriel was in jail and Emilie was declared brain-dead) and moved to England as well.

No one else from Marinette's class left the country, but many of them moved out of Paris. Nathanial was accepted to an elite art school in Marseille. Max was accepted to a gifted program at an elite school in Bordeaux. Officer Raincomprix was transferred to Toulouse and took Sabrina with him. Juleka and Luka both started homeschooling after their mother sailed the houseboat down the Seine to the city of Rouen.

Worst of all was the loss of Alya. Her parents were horrified that the son of Hawkmoth was in the same class as their daughter, and promptly pulled Alya out of class and decided to move out of the city. Alya begged them for weeks but nothing came of her protests. In the end, Alya left too.

The Miraculous Luck could do a lot of things, but it couldn't keep her friends together. Those who remained at François Dupont filled holes in other classes. Marinette tried to make the best of her new class, but she felt no real connection to them. When her parents proposed the move, Marinette jumped on the opportunity. In Gotham, she wouldn't be haunted by the ghost of her old life.

Marinette cut her hair, leaving it choppy and just above the shoulders. She donated all of her brightly colored clothes to the thrift store down the street and created a new wardrobe for herself. It was toned down and mature, much more fitting for Gotham.

Marinette left Paris a much different girl than the naive fourteen-year-old who thought she could save the world. She was ready for a city like Gotham, a city that didn't make any promises, a city where Marinette could set down some new roots.

-----

At first, it was easy to fly under the radar at Gotham Academy. It was a school filled with the self-absorbed children of millionaires and billionaires, after all. Marinette was there on scholarship - her good grades, leadership experience, and working-class parents combined to cut her tuition down by 75%. Marinette quickly learned that scholarship students were at best ignored, and at worst mercilessly bullied. So Marinette kept her head down and vowed that she would get through the year unscathed.

There was one variable, however, that the Miraculous Luck wasn't able to account for. Marinette's entire plan fell apart thanks to one boy: Damian Wayne.

Marinette became acquainted with Damian Wayne through the school's rumor mill. She learned that he was one of the most wealthy and most attractive people in the school, but he was thought himself too good to spend time with any of his fellow classmates (Marinette couldn't fault him on the last bit; she also found the students at Gotham Academy to be difficult, to say the least). Marinette also learned through the school's rumor mill that Damian spent quite a lot of time staring at her. Given that Damian had never paid the slightest amount of attention to a Gotham Academy girl before, this was a big deal. Suddenly Marinette was the farthest thing from under the radar. Everyone who used to look down on her wanted to be her friend. It was exhausting.

Marinette resolved to ignore Damian Wayne - an easy task, given that she still didn't even know what he looked like. Now that everyone was staring at her, it was hard to

"Why?" grumbled Marinette. "Why couldn't my so-called Miraculous Luck help me get through one normal year of school?"

Tikki shrugged from her spot inside of Marinette's backpack. "Maybe all of this attention will turn out to be a good thing?"

"I doubt that." Marinette glanced around, checking that no one had spotted her talking to her backpack. There was one spot in the cafeteria that was hidden from view, a window-sill nestled behind a pillar, bordered by a wall on one side and an out of order vending machine on the other. Marinette sat on the window-sill every day to eat lunch, with Tikki as her companion for the meal.

"I think your problem is that you're overthinking this. Miraculous Luck always works out in the end, even if there are some obstacles in the middle."

"I just want this horrible school year to be over," sighed Marinette, setting her head down in her arms.

"Don't give up yet, Marinette. I have high hopes for this school year," said Tikki.

Marinette had some serious doubts but picked her head up anyway. Maybe this year wouldn't turn out the way she expected. Marinette defeated Hawkmoth, the greatest villain Paris ever faced. She could survive a year of high school.

-----

Marinette was going to survive her senior year of high school. Damian Wayne on the other hand... Marinette still wasn't sure if she was going to let him survive the year, after everything he put her through.

"Excuse me?" a sickeningly sweet voice piped up from behind Marinette.

Marinette put on her best disinterested-face, took out one headphone, and turned around. "Yes?"

There were three girls standing behind her: a blonde, flanked on both sides by a brunette and a red-head. The blonde girl had a smile on her face but a devious look in her eyes. Marinette had long ago learned to spot manipulators, and this girl had it written all over her. "Are you Marinette Dupain-Cheng?"

"Yes."

"My name is Julie Cooper. I was just wondering... Are you dating Damian Wayne?"

Marinette huffed in exasperation. "What do you think?"

Julie's eyes narrowed. "I just wanted to warn you. I mean, did you really think that Damian Wayne would seriously date a girl here on scholarship? You should break up with him before you get hurt."

"It was a rhetorical question. I'm not dating Damian Wayne. It's just a rumor."

Julie instantly perked up. "Oh, good! I was beginning to think that Damian had lost his mind. I mean, I'm sure you would be a nine or a ten at a public school, but at Gotham Academy, you're like a seven, maybe an eight on a good day. Most of the girls who go here are actually hot, not just," the girl waved her hand towards Marinette. "Above average."

Marinette wasn't sure if Julie meant for her to feel flattered or offended, but her words had the strange effect of making Marinette feel both all at once. "Um, thanks? I'm going to go now."

Julie's brunette friend suddenly paled as the girl started to tug on Julie's sleeve. "Um, Julie?" she whispered.

"What, Nora?" Julie's eyes widened as they fixed on something behind Marinette.

Marinette turned around to see what the cause of their concern was. Or rather, to see who the cause of their concern was. It was a boy, tall and scowling. "Are you done here, Cooper?"

Julia nodded, a nervous edge to her voice, "Bye, Marinette." She and her two friends hurried off, exchanging frantic whispers.

"What do you want?" asked Marinette with a sigh. She was tired of dealing with boys who were only interested in her because Damian Wayne was interested in her.

"I wished to apologize."

"For Julie? Did you put her up to this?"

The boy looked confused. "No, of course not. I meant that I wanted to apologize for everything, not just Julie Cooper."

"For everything?" The truth suddenly dawned on Marinette. "You're Damian Wayne! I didn't think that you would be so tall."

"You didn't know what I looked like?" There was real shock in his voice.

"Well, by the time I learned that you had been staring at me everyone was staring at me, so that wasn't much help in figuring out who you were."

"You could have googled me."

Marinette shrugged. "I could have, but it felt weird to google one of my classmates. I pretty much just resigned myself to never figuring out who you were."

"I should have approached you sooner. I've wanted to apologize for a while, but every time I've caught you alone you've looked like you wanted to be left that way."

"I'm not a fan of most of the students here."

"The students here can be..." Damian searched for the appropriate word. "Tiresome. I resigned myself to a dull four years of high school in their company. That is, until I saw you."

Marinette cocked her head. "Why me, though? I'm nothing special."

"You're different than everyone else here."

Marinette stiffened. "I know. I've been told. I'm here on a scholarship which means I don't belong," she snapped

Damian shook his head. "No, that's not what I meant. You move through life differently than all of the other students here. You don't care about the gossip or drama - at least, not until you were right at the center of it all. You've seen the real world, so you float above the high school drama. You're just so... so..."

"So what?" Marinette's tone softened.

Damian ran his hand through his hair, ruffling it. The addition of the messy hair added a certain charm to his otherwise polished exterior. "I've been brainstorming for the right word for weeks. The best I can come up with is pure. You don't let yourself become affected by anything in this school."

It was a very flattering description of her. It was also very on the nose. "I'll forgive you, Damian Wayne, but only on one condition."

"What?"

"I want to get to know you, and I have a feeling that you feel the same way."

Damian nodded. "It's a deal."

Maybe her Miraculous Luck wasn't so useless after all. Marinette had expected to go the whole year without making a single friend. Now, it seemed that she might make one after all.

My One And Only - Chapter 16

Previous | Next | Master List

Chapter 16! When I have new chapters, I post it on Wattpad first then here then on AO3 as fast as I can. I watched Gang of Secrets yesterday, I fangirled greatly.

Adrien hoped that Ladybug wasn't too injured, she's far too valuable and important to be lost, especially at the beginning of, what looks like, Hawkmoth's new rise of power.

"Something tells me things are about to get a lot more serious from here on out"

————————————————————

"-ngel, Angel it's time to wake up" Marinette's eyes fluttered open at the sound of Damian's soft voice. She lifted her head off of his chest and sat up next to him, the green-eyed boy nuzzled her neck much like a cat. "Sorry for waking you but I do not wish to have your sleep schedule destroyed"

The girl giggled. "Kinda ironic that the true user of the miraculous of destruction doesn't want to have my sleep schedule destroyed" Then she shrugged. "Well I suppose you can't destroy something that's already destroyed"

"You should really get a full 8-hour sleep at least once a week" Damian grumbled as Marinette got up from the bed.

"Tell that to my cup of depresso- I mean espresso" she jokingly replied.

"In all seriousness, though" the green-eyed boy got up to sit in one of the armchairs in his hotel room. "How will you create a new team of heroes and who will you choose to uphold this responsibility?"

"Simple," she took a sip from her coffee, leaning on the wall. "I'll give each new member a miraculous, the first to join should be Adrien Agreste"

"The model?"

"Yep" the bluenette replied, popping the 'p'. "Believe it or not he was Chat Noir"

Damian raised one of his eyebrows. "They do seem quite different at first glance"

"I know right! Anyway, like I said, he was Chat Noir and he admitted to believing he was not the true owner of the miraculous. Though he might not think things through all the time, he's willing to listen and he's a good fighter"

"Admitting to that must have taken a lot of courage. He is attentive and skilled in combat" the black-haired boy hummed. "He sounds like an adequate addition to the team you are forming"

"You're just as important in this team as I am, Dami" Marinette reminded before putting a finger on her chin and thinking thoughtfully. "I was thinking maybe giving him the dog miraculous would work best"

Plagg scoffed. "The kid's gonna go from a cat to a dog eh? I know he doesn't make the wise decisions all the time but-"

Marinette rolled her eyes and continued as if Plagg hadn't said anything. "What's the power of the Dog miraculous, Tikki?"

"The Dog miraculous has the power of Location, it's ability is to retrieve and identify where any object or person is. The ability can locate them, hold them in place, bring them to the holder and/or rescue them possible captivity" Tikki stated, floating over to smack Plagg on the back of his head.

Marinette mumbled incoherently before humming thoughtfully. "I also think we should bring Alya into the team"

"Césaire? I understand she is your reporter now but what other significance does she have?" Damian questioned, trying not to offend his girlfriend's best friend.

"She's the first one other than Chat and I to join the heroes, she was Rena Rouge"

"Ah I see so you want to bring Rena Rouge back?"

The bluenette nodded as the green-eyed boy stood up from where he was sitting.

"Wanna come with me to get the miracle box?"

"Sure just... give me a minute" Marinette tilted her head in confusion as Damian went towards one of his cases and pulled, what looked like, a training mannequin. She watched as he then drew his katana and slashed at the poor mannequin, it was obliterated. The bluenette winced when the pieces hit the floor while Plagg barked a laugh.

"Now that's destruction" The black kwami then flew up to the boy and rested on his head. "Good job, kid"

Marinette giggled as he rolled his eyes and put his katana back. "In all honesty, I thought you were going to do a lot more damage in the battle. I'm surprised you're not that angry"

"Oh I am" Damian replied calmly. "Enormously so, I have just merely bottled my anger. If even the smallest ounce of it were to escape then, well, I don't think Hawkmoth would like a powerful Akuma whose only goal is to see him suffer"

The bluenette walked up to the angry vigilante, wrapped both of her arms on his left and rested her head on his shoulder. "No I don't think he would" she giggled as Damian kissed her temple. "You can use all that pent up anger in training later. For now, let's go get the miracle box"

"Lead the way, Angel"

~~~

The couple were on their way when Marinette heard a familiar voice, one that wasn't a friendly voice. She quickly pulled Damian and herself out of sight, leaning flat against the wall to safely ease drop.

"Is it true that you know the world-renowned chef Wang Cheng?" An unidentifiable voice asked.

"Yep! He actually gave me Master Class cooking sessions, that's how I've become an amazing chef myself!" The others awed at Lila's lies, Marinette felt her anger bubble, no one takes her Great Uncle's success and uses it for their own personal gain. "Actually, I was the one who helped him create his recipe for his signature dish"

"Oh my gosh, really?!"

"Yeah! I didn't help that much, he did most of the work" Lila's voice faded into the distance, Marinette was grateful that she didn't have to listen to the brunette anymore but she was also worried, 'How many lives is she willing to ruin just for popularity?'

The bluenette turned to glance at her boyfriend, only to be met with a visibly angry expression still looking at where they last saw the brunette. Marinette opened her mouth to start conversation but Damian beat her to it.

"Who does she think she is? Disrespecting Cheng Shifu in that manner" The green-eyed boy snarled. Marinette blinked in surprise.

"You know Cheng Shifu?"

Damian then looked at her, almost offendedly. "Of course! He is not just a chef, Cheng Shifu is an artist. We went to a grand opening of one of his five-star restaurants, arguably the place I was served the most exquisite food throughout my entire existence" He placed a finger on his chin in thought. "The best dish I was served had to be his signature recipe, Celestial Soup. Though, I think the name has changed to Marine-"

He paused and looked at his girlfriend's smug face, he presumed his face appeared to have an epiphany. This thought was confirmed when Marinette's giggles turned into proper laughter.

"No..."

"Yes" she giggled, resting her forehead on his shoulder. "He's my maternal great-uncle"

"My god, your mother must be an excellent cook then"

"Yep! She's the best! Now come on, to my house!" Marinette dragged Damian towards the bakery and use her keys to open the front door. His eyes diverted to a wrapped package of cupcakes. "Oh that's for Nadja, she'll come by to pick it up in a few minutes" She then gestured for him to follow her. They both went up through the trapdoor and to Marinette's room.

Damian knew that his angel's favourite colour was pink so he presumed her room was drowned in said colour, when he entered he was greeted by the splash of rose as expected but he was also greeted with many rolls of fabric. It wasn't a messy mess per se, more of an organized and pretty one. It correlated with Marinette quite well in his opinion. The green-eyed boy sat on the girl's chaise as she brought a spotted box out of one of her drawers. Box in hand, Marinette sat next to Damian and pressed a button, opening one of the cabinets and out of the cabinet appeared a new kwami.

"Hello, Great Guardian" The kwami began. "Do you need my help?"

"Hello Barkk, there's really no need to address me so formally" Marinette replied to Barkk, fidgeting her fingers. "And yes, I believe it's time for you to get a permanent holder"

"Really? Great! But what happened for you to make this decision?" The kwami noticed how Marinette flinched at the question and flew closer. The kwami gasped. "Nooroo's energy... did Hawkmoth do something?"

"He did" The sudden appearance of Damian's sharp voice made the Kwami rise slightly.

"Who-"

"Lover-boy over here is my true chosen, Barkk" Plagg and Tikki appeared through the floor after eating downstairs.

"Hmm, he does seem to have your energy"

"Yes Barkk, Damian is the true user of the Black Cat miraculous. He's also my boyfriend" Marinette's cheeks were dusted with the lightest shade of pink, they grew deeper in colour as Damian pressed his lips against her skin. "We were thinking of having Adrien use your miraculous and Alya using Trixx's miraculous" The bluenette stated, half-glaring at the green-eyed boy for getting her flustered.

"I think he'll be a great fit for the Dog miraculous" Barkk replied, happy to have a new permanent holder.

"Alright!" Marinette took the collar necklace from the compartment, followed by the necklace. The bluenette turned to face Damian, the collar necklace in her palm. "You can give Adrien his new miraculous, I'll go find Alya and we meet at the Eiffel Tower. It'll save time"

"But shouldn't you give the miraculous? Considering you are the guardian after all" he questioned.

The bluenette shook her head. "Its a good way to get to know each other because, well, you'll technically be my partner meaning that you're one of the leaders of this new team. You need to know who you're working with and you need to trust them to save your life, if it were to come to that"

Damian slowly nodded, reaching for the collar necklace. "Meet you at the Eiffel Tower then"

~~~

A certain blonde was strolling down an empty street in Paris, in sun was setting and it was deathly quiet. Luckily, his schedule was cleared for the whole day. However, had no idea how to spend his last few hours of freedom. Usually he would go out as Chat Noir and jump from rooftop to rooftop. But he wasn't Chat anymore. Adrien winced at the reminder of the events that occurred early that day, he felt so useless. Thank god for Noir. 'That is his name right? He's incredibly attractive, the hero has only showed up once and he's giving me a run for my money' Adrien couldn't help the flash of red that appeared on his face before pushing it down completely. 'If Kagami talked to me the way he normally sounds then...'

His train of thoughts stopped when a figure landed in front of him. His first instinct was to get into a protective stance, which he did, but he recognised the figure as Noir, the mysterious hero that saved Ladybug earlier, so he dropped his stance.

"Hi Noir, what can I do for you?" Adrien questioned trying to act poised when he knew the only suave one here was Noir himself. He was totally not fanboying over the new hero, no way.

"Adrien Agreste" The black cat-themed hero began. "I'm sure you are aware of the... predicament that occurred earlier today, considering the fact that you were a witness of the whole ordeal"

"Yeah..." Adrien tried to look at anything other than Noir, but he sighed as he failed.

"Knowing that Hawkmoth has had an increase in power, Ladybug and I have come to the joint decision to have other permanent holders and form a team of superheroes." Noir looked at the blonde straight in the eye.

"And you want me to be a part of the team?" The blonde's eyes widened as Noir nodded.

"You were Ladybug's first choice"

"I- really?" Adrien stuttered out in disbelief, 'She still wants me to have a miraculous? Even though I couldn't do anything today?'

"You were Chat Noir, my predecessor, were you not? I have a lot to live up to" Though Adrien couldn't see most of the hero's face, he could see his eyes and the encouragement that shone through. "Do you wish to help us?"

"Absolutely" the blonde wasted no time in confirming.

Noir nodded and pulled out a box. "Adrien Agreste, this is the dog miraculous of Location. Ladybug has entrusted me to entrust this miraculous to you, you shall use it for the greater good. Can we trust you?"

Adrien carefully took the box and nodded with determination. He opened the box and, similarly with Plagg, a small peach-colored glowing orb spun around him. When the light died down, a dog kwami was facing him. "Hello, Adrien. My name is Barkk. To transform say: 'Barkk, to the rescue!'" He out the collar around his neck.

"Barkk, to the rescue!" The blonde was engulfed in peach-colored light, leaving a new superhero when it died down. Adrien now stood in a brown suit with a white belly reaching up to his neck, white boots, white gloves, brown floppy dog ears that contrasted well with his blonde hair. He also had a short, brown, metallic tail that which on command, would appear in his hand as a boomerang-shaped weapon. The blonde found out that it could be pulled apart into two separate rods and that with a flick of the wrist, the boomerang could snap into place like a baton, similar with his staff as Chat Noir. "Pawsome!"

Noir nodded. "It would be best if we head to the Eiffel Tower as soon as possible, Ladybug and Rena Rouge are probably waiting for us" The cat-themed hero then used his staff to propel himself in the direction of the city's landmark, Adrien followed closely, his new powers allowed him to jump like Rena. Sure enough, both heroes arrived on the building where two heroine's were waiting.

"I was wondering when you were going to get here" Ladybug's voice rang out, stepping out from the shadows. Noir had transformed and left before Ladybug had but now he wished he was there to see it.

The spotted heroine's suit had changed greatly. The top part of her suit had changed to black, running down her arms fading to the familiar red. The bottom part of her suit remained the same red with black spots but she had matte-black along the bottom part of her legs, mimicking boots. The long ribbons in her hair remained the same except they faded to black at the tips. Noir looked away to stop his cheeks from getting any redder than they already were.

"Something wrong, Minou?" She asked teasingly.

"Tt, of course not"

Ladybug giggled while Rena and the dog-themed hero exchanged knowing glances. The spotted heroine turned to Adrien and gestured for him to introduce himself.

"Oh, I'm Le Chien"

"Well, Le Chien, Rena, Noir, we have some training we need to do"

~~~

By the end of their patrol and training session, Le Chien was exhausted. He bid the other heroes farewell and detransformed. Giving Barkk a sugar biscuit, which honestly smelt a lot better than Camember, Adrien ran down the Seine, hoping to meet up with two people in particular. Said figures appeared in the distance and when he was closer enough, Adrien pushed himself in between the two and placed one arm over each shoulder.

"Hey you two, what's up?" Adrien asked.

"We just wanted to watch the sunset" Kagami answered, "Right Luka?"

"Yes, the sky is very beautiful at sunset" The guitarist answered. Suddenly all three of their phones chimed. "Chloe's inviting us for a sleepover at the hotel"

"Did she say who would be there?" The bluenette asked.

"She invited us, Alya, Nino couldn't make it, Marinette and... Damian? Do you know who that is?" Luka looked between the blonde and the bluenette.

"No, never heard the name before" Adrien's oblivious self replied.

Kagami hummed, both boys looked at her in confusion. "You'll find out who he is later and before you ask, I know who he is. Now let's go get the things necessary for this sleepover"

~~~

When the trio arrived at Chloe's door, they were greeted by both the blonde herself and Alya.

"Hi Chloe, Hi Alya" Luka greeted the two.

"Just come on in already, the movie's about to start!" Chloe walked away from the door to sit on a space on her sofa out of the current view of the two bluenettes and blonde.

"What movie are we watching?" Kagami asked, entering the room first.

"Une Petite Frayeur, it was premiered just last week" Alya replied, "I don't know what the genre is yet, Chloe is refusing to tell" The brunette with glasses led them to the sofa, the coffee table decked out in snacks.

"Please don't tell me it's a horror movie" a soft voice whined.

"Oh, hi Marinette! We-" Adrien stopped mid sentence when he noticed Marinette sitting next to an unfamiliar figure. He walked up to the both of them and when he got close enough, he started spluttering. After a good minute, he managed to say words. "This man isn't doing anything yet he's a better model than me! You are waytoo attractive for your own good. Y-you're illegally attractive! I'm gonna have to take your good-looking license away"

Adrien held out his hand much like a police officer, one of Damian's eye brows shot up in amusement while Marinette giggled at the display. The bluenette looked Adrien in the eye, wrapped her arms around her boyfriend. "No" she deadpanned.

"Adrien, Luka, Kagami" Marinette got the other two's attention. "This is Damian, my boyfriend"

"Pleasure to finally meet you, Damian" Kagami held out her hand which the green-eyed boy took.

"Likewise"

"Wait you two know each other?" Adrien asked, his mind thinking of many different things at once.

"That explain's why Melody's music has changed"

"Alright enough chit-chat, let's watch the movie already!" Chloe cut in through the conversation.

"What genre is it?" Marinette timidly asked.

Chloe looked straight into the bluenette's eyes and smirked. "Horror"

~~~

Luckily the film wasn't that scary, well actually it was but the teens were busy arguing about how stupid and unrealistic the plot was.

"The murderer manages to get from point A to point B going at legit 2 kilometers per hour before the main protagonist, who just so happens to be sprinting, and they're insisting that they're human?!"

"Now you understand my frustration!"

"Well... he could've been running off-camera...?!"

"Well that wasn't implied!"

The rest of the sleepover was relatively quiet, at around midnight most of them had fallen asleep. If Alya, who were awake, managed to get a picture of Marinette cuddled in Damian's arms while they were asleep, the couple wouldn't know.

All but Chloe left in the morning after breakfast, Kitty Section would be practicing on the Liberty and Kagami came to watch. Alya would be on a date with Nino and Chloe was going to spend time with her parents, leaving Damian and Marinette free for the day. They decided just to spend the rest of their free time at Marinette's house, she had some commissions she needed to finish and Damian wanted to paint on her balcony.

When Marinette went up to her balcony through her trapdoor, she saw Damian sitting on the floor with some watercolour paint next to him. The bluenette had never been able to master using watercolours but she loved the way the paint looked. Peering over his shoulder, Marinette saw a realistic piece of the Notre Dame Cathedral and the air nearly escaped her, it was incredibly detailed. From the piece of artwork itself, the bluenette envisioned many pieces she could create and rushed to her sketchbook so her ideas could be on paper.

In the end, Damian gave the artwork to her so she could get inspiration whenever she wanted. He kissed her goodbye, since she had school the next day, and went back to the hotel.

~~~

"Marinette! You're going to be late!" Tikki's voice echoed in the bluenette's ears.

"Oh! Thanks Tikki!" Marinette shot out of bed, got changed, grabbed a croissant and rushed out the bakery, eating the croissant on her way. Alya was there waiting as usual.

"Hey girl!" The reporter called out after noticing her best friend, the bluenette waved back.

"Hey Alya!"

"Wow, this is probably the first time you've been early in a long time!" Marinette huffed while they both went to their lockers.

They found the room empty when the two arrived, making it easier to converse. As Alya was about to mention the photo she took of Marinette and the green-eyed boy, the bluenette winced, clutching her chest. The reporter rushed to her best friend's side but the blue-eyed girl ran to the bathroom, Alya followed not far behind. When the girl entered, she found Marinette in front of the sink, double-over with tears of pain threatening to spill. Not knowing what else to do, Alya went over to inspect where Marinette's hand was clutching, presuming that was the source of her pain. It was in the space of her curves, 'Isn't that the...' Alya gasped and looked at Marinette. It was so obvious, why hadn't she seen it sooner?

"Marinette?"

The bluenette looked at her best friend with a look that told her to continue.
