#post reveal pre-relationship

“Oh!” Chat Noir’s eyes grew very wide, watching with a little less trepidation at the familiar sight and far more amusement, as he his eyes darted over to meet the blue eyes of his very lovely companion. “However did we get trapped in here again?”

For her part, Marinette just snorted as Chat Noir proceed to curl up next to her and make himself very comfortable. “At least he isn’t trying to sink us both to the bottom of the Seine this time.”

Chat simply winked at her. “I bet I could handle it, now.”

Evillustrator just gaped at the sight of Marinette’s arm now draping over the heroes’ shoulder, through the very see-through box he had drawn to trap them both. Reverser stood at his side, just facepalming. “I really need to work on my aim. I wanted to reverse Marinette’s feelings for Adrien!”

Evillustrator shook his head. “I never thought Chat Noir would take a hit for anyone but Ladybug...”

Then again, Chat Noir looked very comfortable, happily curling up beside Marinette, half sprawled across her lap.

Reverser just shouted. “You know you’re not actually locked in, right?”

Marinette just shrugged, fondly pressing her hand to Chat Noir’s cheek before letting her lips press to the tip of his nose once again. “Cats are very fond of boxes.”

Chat smirked up at her. “Among other things.”

Evillustrator looked increasingly torn before Monarch’s wings lit up a mask over his face. “We’re just going to go and draw out Ladybug.”

As Chat Noir’s grin only widened at the pun, Marinette shouted. “Would you mind making the box opaque before you go?”

Shuddering, Evillustrator compiled before he and Reverser raced off to the Paris

After a few stolen moments of cuddles at kisses, they both sighed, relishing a rare attack where they weren’t forced to race all over Paris... 

“How long do you figure we have until they start looking for Adrien?” Chat whispered.

Marinette sighed, leaning her head against his chest. Her dismay quickly turned into amusement as she started to plan. “Well, since they haven’t found Ladybug yet... maybe she will be very nice and pick Adrien up from his balcony.”

In one self-assured move, Chat summoned his Cataclysm once the magic box was no more. “Promises, promises.” He grinned, deploying his baton to the shore to save them both the indignity of another dip in the Seine.

As neither one was willing to let go, even though they were both back of solid ground, Chat Noir catapulted them both up to race the rooftops as his ring started to protest with increasing frequency.

“Think Adrien will still be hiding in the showers?” Marinette whispered into his ear. 

Chuckling, he set her down. “I think if you’re very Lucky, you might just find out.”

Pre-reveal, post-relationship lovesquare is so insane if you think about it. You have Adrinette who are in a happy committed relationship but are both internally panicking about the fact that they keep a secret identity hidden from their beloved boy/girlfriend. You have Ladrien, where Ladybug is pining away secretly for the boy she’s already dating and Adrien can’t understand why his heart feels weird whenever he’s around his good friend and partner (that he definitely doesn’t have unresolved feelings for). You have Marichat where Chat Noir is struggling not to show his heart eyes to his girlfriend, while Marinette is doing her utmost to make sure she doesn't tell him she still thinks about their kiss (for absolutely no reason at all). And then you have Ladynoir who keeps having arguments over who has the better boy/girlfriend and who loves them more and at the same time are certainly not feeling jealous because they are very happy for their partner to be in a committed relationship with someone who isn’t them, yep completely and totally happy...

jasico server was chatting about the cupid scene and jason getting nico's memories blasted straight into his brain and how jason being shot with one of cupid's arrows while with nico and this was just never brought up in canon again and now i'm thinking like...what if that's just how cupid's arrows work? not by magically manifesting love for someone out of nothing, but by giving someone the perspective that'd make them fall in love naturally? jason gets a front row seat to nico's memories and instantly understands him intimately and can trust him completely without any doubt or suspicion

so what if jason, after slowly realizing he's totally in love with nico, just thought back to the arrow incident and it made him second-guess everything? because maybe he's only feeling this way because cupid hit him with an arrow with only nico was around and it's no different than any other god messing with his love life

Connecting Everything (Connecting To Everywhere) - Chapter 2

Chapter One - (x)

Summary -

Marinette found it quite interesting that often, he finds it easier to read her when she’s spiralling to a dark place and yet comes across a block when she’s thinking about him.

As if he’s not used to people thinking about his well-being…

(Or, has he simply forgotten how after the untimely disappearance of his mother, left behind with an echo of her presence in the lonely Agreste mansion?)

“You’re much stronger than you give yourself credit for, Adrien.” Marinette began, her fingertips still grazing the scratch, watching how the stubborn injury still refused to heal properly. Blood continued to weep from the ragged line and dead skin flaked outwards like a reptile shedding its former skin. She briefly pressed her lips against the top edge of the cut, her heart beating a million miles per hour as she felt smooth, unblemished skin replace the wound in a matter of seconds.

Boyfriend and Girlfriend

Whoohoo!! We are done with chapter 24! I really hope you like it <3. If you do, lemme know what you think!

AO3

Marinette Dupain-Cheng was his girlfriend. He was her boyfriend. Even just that thought had a thrill running up Adrien’s spine. 

It had been a whirlwind of emotions when he realized his feelings for her. Suddenly, he had begun sneaking quick, shy glances back at her from his seat in front of her in class, wondering if it was still possible for her to feel the same. Eventually, though, with his heart pounding Adrien confessed just how much he adored her that fateful day in her room. And, though he had been terrified at her initial rejection, they managed to figure out that they both did have feelings for the other and began dating. 

And, now, as they walked hand in hand through the bustling streets of Paris, Adrien couldn’t help but to squeeze Marinette’s hand, who was practically glowing with happiness. She looked absolutely gorgeous and not for the first time did he end up wondering how it could have possibly taken him as long as it did to realize his true feelings for her.

They had planned a picnic in the park, a simple yet meaningful date to celebrate their newfound relationship. Marinette had packed some of their favorite sandwiches and pastries from the bakery, knowing his love for all of the sweet, delicious baked goods her family made. As they settled on a cozy blanket under a blooming cherry blossom tree, Adrien couldn't contain his excitement.

"Marinette," he began, his voice filled with warmth and affection, "I never knew that being with you could make every moment feel like magic."

Marinette blushed, her eyes sparkling with love. "Adrien, you make even the simplest things feel extraordinary," she replied, reaching for his hand.

They spent the afternoon laughing, sharing stories, and stealing sweet kisses under the pink petals that danced in the breeze. Adrien couldn't help but feel grateful for every twist of fate that had led him to Marinette. She was not just his girlfriend; she was his soulmate in laughter, in dreams, and in love.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a golden glow over the city, Adrien knew that this moment would be etched in his heart forever. With a smile that mirrored the setting sun, he whispered, "I love you, Marinette."

And in that moment, surrounded by the beauty of Paris and the warmth of their love, Marinette whispered back, "I love you too, Adrien. Always and forever."

They both giggled, their eyes sparkling at each other. Slowly, their laughter subsided into a comfortable silence as they watched the sun's descent, painting the sky pretty shades of orange and pink. Adrien leaned closer to Marinette, his heart beating in sync with hers. He could feel the warmth of her presence, the softness of her breath mingling with his.

"Adrien," Marinette whispered, her voice barely audible over the gentle rustle of leaves in the breeze.

Adrien turned to her, their eyes meeting in a moment that felt suspended in time. Without a word, he cupped her face in his hands, his thumbs brushing lightly against her cheeks. Marinette's eyes fluttered closed as she leaned into his touch, a contented sigh escaping her lips.

And then, as if drawn by an invisible force, their lips met in a tender kiss. It was a kiss filled with all the love, passion, and longing that they had both kept hidden for so long. Adrien felt as if the world around them had faded away, leaving only Marinette and the overwhelming sensation of feeling completely and utterly in love.

The cherry blossoms above them seemed to whisper secrets of romance, their petals falling like confetti as they scattered around them. Adrien deepened the kiss, his heart overflowing with joy and gratitude as he tilted his head.

When they finally parted, their eyes met once again, conveying everything they couldn't put into words. Marinette's cheeks were flushed with a rosy hue, her gaze filled with unspoken affection.

"I never want this moment to end," Adrien confessed, his voice soft yet full of conviction.

"Me neither," Marinette replied, her fingers intertwining with his. "Being with you feels like a dream."

As they watched the sun disappear beyond the horizon, Adrien knew that their love was as timeless as the city of Paris itself. Hand in hand, they stayed embraced in each other's warmth, knowing that they had found something truly special in each other's hearts.

(Chapter 22 Bonus Scene | Mystic Code Book Chapter 1 Q&A)

Thinking about how the photo Ray took of Isabella burned up with plant no.3, so the only pictures the children possibly have of her in the human world are mugshots stored in headquarters' database that might have been updated every year on her birthday.

How surreal it is to see her like that, grappling with memories of the complicated woman they knew—the good and the bad—and the young girl staring back at them who resolutely held her head up high to prove she had what it took to survive in a demon's world, knowing all the unspoken pain behind her eyes.

Yvette's portraits of her quickly become their preferred visual references.

A question I had while making this: Does Thor's Allspeak allow him to read encrypted things, given encryption is possibly a language? (for the intent of this work, yes)

Excerpt: Chapter Two (Best Friends)

Adrien smiled and placed his phone down on the desk beside him. Slowly, he turned back to the script and continued to read. He was down to the last callbacks for the up and coming movie ‘Without Hope’, and boy what a role it would be if he got it. Not only would it put him into serious acting roles away from the love interest in cheesy rom coms, it would also project him into the Oscar-worthy performance category and finally lose that label of ‘a model who can act half decently’.

He’d had a couple of weeks off, so had taken the opportunity (as always) to visit Paris, mostly to check in with his most favourite person, Marinette.

Adrien picked up his phone again. No reply, which meant she had almost certainly updated the app and would now be looking at different ways to torture him within the game. Her favourite pastime, whether she liked to admit it or not.

Moving away from Marinette’s name, he started to scroll through his phone, thinking if there was anyone else he needed to check in with whilst he was in the city. Nino was away at university and wouldn’t be back until next week (when he was back in London) and he’d managed to catch up with the other guys at Luka’s a couple of nights ago. Everyone else in his contact list wasn’t a priority, especially since the news about his father had broken a couple of months ago. News which had almost cost him his career.

His friends knew the truth, though, and he was growing increasingly grateful for such a tightly knit group. Their shared items of jewellery also made it all beautifully unique.

For a guy who never takes off his gloves, Varian sure does lose them a lot. It’s not really the gloves Hugo notices though—it’s the scars underneath them. Or: 5 times Hugo tries to take off Varian's gloves + 1 time he doesn't have to.

cursed theory: prpr will one day stand for post reveal post relationship in a future season

bc you know shows like this always have the characters break up at some point before bringing them together and if this season ends without a reveal what’s the stupidest and most painful way they could draw this out? have the characters break up at some point and then do the reveal
