HAND IN HAND - IF WE RUN, WE RUN TOGETHER

Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3

Toxinelle remained standing under the shadows that swallowed the banks of the Seine. For some reason, Griffe Noir stood with her.

"What?" she grumbled. She didn't need to look at him to know he was staring at her. "Aren't you going to go?"

Griffe deliberately cleared his throat. "Yeah, about that..." He nodded down to where their hands were still firmly clasped together."

Again inspired by this Claw Noir/Shady bug fanfiction. I might need to redraw the position of the hands. But... maybe another time... ive got no time. I want to keep drawing other scenes.

Before you forget, read the one shot. It's very good!

Sorry for the vague description! Actually, I am asking for #protective Adrien# in the love square. But #protect Adrien is my other need too:)

Most of #protective Adrien# are about salt Lila or Chloe and it's boring for me at all. In my opinion, Protective like a part of his personality. The type I want to see it's like he is not protective as a "perfect boyfriend" save his girl from a bitch's hand(sorry for these girls just for their salt version), and lose his other individuality.

Some of my favourite is

Penumbra by Selkie077

Little Bits of Mari by breeeliss

One Thing After Another by SKayLanphear

Looks like they are more like #protect Adrien but fine:) I love Adrien showing his fragility and insecurity.

Looks like my demand expression is getting chaotic now...Sorry for that and thanks for your work for this fandom! I love reading your ML theory.

Good day good night or good anytime for you

Oooh yeah, there's a big difference between "protect Adrien" and "protective Adrien". You're right that it's hard to find ones that aren't based around Lila or Chloe salt, they're the ones who have terrorized Marinette canonically. That really just leaves Gabriel, who's more of a threat to Adrien. Still, I think I can find some fics for you.

He Couldn't Remember (Falling For Her) by @purpleautumnvision

"If I was given a choice in who Chat Noir would be, I would've chosen you." "And there's nobody else in the whole world I'd rather have as my little bug." Without secret identities in the way, Marinette and Adrien get to live out their love story and put their heads together to discover the identity of Hawk Moth... but an unforeseen twist puts the Miraculouses in Gabriel's hands. When he makes his wish for a world where his wife never became sick from using the broken Peacock Miraculous, the universe requires someone else to become sick in order to maintain balance. Who better than his greatest enemy, Ladybug herself? Adrien, with his memories rewritten by the wish, wakes up in a world without superheroes, without Hawk Moth, without Marinette, without friends, and without a clue as to why everything feels so wrong. Something's missing, but he's gonna find out what. Then he'll put his world back into place.

So this was a fascinating scenario, with Adrien waking up in a world where Marinette was dead while his mother was alive, a world that as far as he knew had always been the case... but having weird feelings he can't explain. And not just him, I love how much focus Alya gets here as well! Turns out that the memories are kind of hidden, but still present, and since Adrien and Alya never got to meet Marinette in this universe (she died just before the new school year began, at the same time that Emilie did in the normal universe) AND Adrien and Alya were her closest friends in the previous universe, their feelings towards her are closest to the surface and least impacted by the memories from this universe.

The other people in this universe... well, the class isn't taking Marinette's death well. It's fascinating to see just how much her death effects them, to see how it haunts them, and I loved seeing their reactions to Adrien's weird behavior about their dead classmate who he never got a chance to meet, it shows how strange some of this can look to the outside, and it doesn't help that these are grieving kids.

Just... this is a great fic, I highly recommend checking it out!

Feather Fall by @a-flaming-idiot

Marinette Dupain-Cheng is a sentimonster. Adrien knows this. Alya knows this. They just wish they could tell Marinette. Maybe if they could she would have stayed safe when the Primordial attacked. When a monster mauled her with the intention of devouring the magic that made up her very being. Instead, Adrien is forced to use the Miraculous his father had used to hurt so many, to save his closest friend. And only Alya can keep him going as he threatens to crumble under the weight of his parents' sins.

I love the friendship between Adrien, Alya, and Marinette on display here, there's some great interactions between them, Adrien and Alya are great friends and both of them care about Marinette a lot, I hope to see more of this AU!

home is where the fight is by @rosie-b

Nadja Chamack’s voice greeted Adrien as he sat up straight, wiping his clammy hands on his pants and ignoring the black kwami floating by his shoulder. “—shocked to see our heroine fall in battle today, taking a direct hit from the akuma just as she detransformed. Parisians are torn between blaming Hawk Moth and Cat Walker for their roles in this tragedy, which ultimately revealed the civilian identity of Ladybug, Marinette Dupain-Cheng.” Adrien turned off the TV and lowered his head as his vision blurred. Written for Ladrien June Day 7: Injured

I adore this fic! Which shouldn’t be a a surprise, it’s no secret that I love Sentiadrien Enemies AU. Adrien’s so worried about Marinette getting hurt, and wishes that he could help keep her safer, could tell her what’s really going on or get rid of the ring or something, but he can’t. Still, he IS able to find clever ways around some of his father’s more problematic orders. Loopholes for the win!

A Mousey guest by charliepoet13

Adrien Agreste has finally managed to break away from his father and make his way out into the world. One faithful night, after settling down in his new home, he spots a strange guest.

Adrien X Multimouse fic here! So this is inspired by the Borrowers, with little people the size of mice living amongst ordinary-sized humans, and Marinette got a little careless here XD. But soon finds that Adrien’s friendly and not a threat. It’s adorable and reminds me of the The Littles book series that I read when I was a kid!

Caught In A Multimouse Trap by @a-flaming-idiot

Adrien was having a rather slow morning. That was until he discovered a tiny superhero trapped in his home and decides to be a bit of a hero even out of his suit.

This was adorable! Adrien does his best to care for the little miniature superhero caught in a mousetrap, bandaging her up as best as he can (thankfully only her tail got caught so it’s more of a phantom pain than an actual injury) and just… it’s really cute.

May I Introduce Myself, Your Highness? by @chocoluckchipz

Whether picking up a stray animal off the streets or saving a dying child at the market, Adrien had always strived to be the best version of himself. Truly, he would’ve been the perfect candidate to be snatched up by a kwami, were he an orphan, dying somewhere remote after a short life full of nothing but suffering and misery. Yet as it stood, the sole heir to the French throne had little to complain about. Apart from, perhaps, a complete absence of a love life. That is until a mysterious girl, wandering around his gardens at night, catches his attention.

I love Fantasy AUs. It’s a bit unclear what’s happening at first, but it all gets explained in the last chapter. Also don’t worry about the age gap between Marinette and Adrien at the start of the story, I promise it’s not a problem in the end.

I hope these can satisfy you!

[wackus-bonkus-maximus]

not saying that this is me but if it WAS me i would recommend everyone go read selkie's fic penumbra which does indeed deserve 205 brooms by the time one gets to ch 20

Tragic. I've been murdered for absolutely no reason whatsoever. 😔 Wackus is just that cruel (and was accurately voted queen tormentor of the blorbos)

☆ for the ask game ☆

🏜🧩❄🥤

omg, love the stars!

🏜️ ⇢ what's your favourite type of comment to receive on your work?

I love people theorizing or speculating in my comments. And/or declaring they've picked up on more subtle things (Nobody has ever written down an epiphany about the implications of Plagg and Tikki already knowing Gabriel's identity.... 😔).

What I would love more of, though, is critique. Or if you catch a typo. TELL ME IF YOU CATCH A TYPO. P L E A S E. i'll kiss you on the lips for it (if you want it ofc, if not then you can get a handshake).

🧩 ⇢ what will make you click away from a fanfiction immediately?

Graphic smut. I fried my brain by finding the worst shit I could when I was 14-16, and now I can't stand the stuff. It'd have to be written masterfully for me to even be able to begrudgingly tolerate it. Nothing against smut likers, obviously!! I just can only stand it when it's in the most abstract, non-graphic, "are they even fucking or am i just misinterpreting things" kind of style.

Also, this is kind of MLB-based, but I feel like not enough people treat their fan-kwamis as their own characters? More often than not, they're just an extension to the OCs the writer pairs them with, which I consider such a huge miss. Whenever I write Post-TWEOS exercise drabbles or ideas, I often treat Karra as just as much a 'human' as Adrien and Claudia. Whether she's their fake teenage daughter or a fake Nahuatl teacher for Adrien that looks as old as dirt, I feel like she needs to be included in their adventures just because she would 100% do it. I consider her almost like the Meowth of the group.

Finally: Orbs. If you're using that in 2024 without a shred of irony or self-awareness, what are you even doing at this point?

❄️ ⇢ what's your dream theme/plot for a fic, and who would write it best?

Other than what I'm already writing? ...I think a JJBA/Miraculous crossover has potential to be fun.

Either that, or a companion piece to TWEOS that serializes Lucky Lucky Ladybug taking down various akumas in line with what canon has, both before and after Chat defects from the group. The "Imposter" Chat Akuma would be hilarious if it happened after our own Chat jumps ship.

🥤 ⇢ recommend an author or fanfic you love

....Does Paradise Lost count as Bible Fanfic in your books? For the love of God (or, maybe Satan), read Paradise Lost. Satan was the OG morally gray hot brooding bad boy. There's a fucking reason I reference it directly in TWEOS (and plan to again lol).

If that doesn't count, Penumbra by Selkie077 on Ao3 is one I've started and would definitely reccomend. Though maybe I have a bias that favors Adrien being put through shit situations...

Bell the Cat

Bell The Cat by Selkie077

Ladybug is the Miraculous Hero of the Realm. She has spent the past number of years fighting the minions of the tyrant Hawk Moth, only for the war to come to an abrupt end. News reveals that Hawk Moth was brutally slain by his own champion and captain of his own elite guard - the infamous knight Chat Blanc, known to wield pure destructon itself. With the disintegration of Hawk Moth's army, Chat Blanc is captured and imprisoned until his certain execution. Being a beloved hero and instrumental in the realm's defences during the war, Ladybug is offered a reward of her choosing. Instead of choosing a title or luxuries as expected she chooses...custody of Chat Blanc??? A new threat is rising in the chasm Hawk Moth left behind, and Ladybug believes Chat Blanc's knowledge and skill will be vital in what's to come. And perhaps he could also answer some questions that have plagued her since even before the war with Hawk Moth began..

What dark fics do u recommend?

Oh man. I have to be honest. I haven't read a bunch of ML dark fic- especially since I've been writing TMHTS. But I did read some before I started and have recently been reading more fic now that I'm toward the end. Here are a few I liked a lot or remember liking:

DARK FIC WARNING (ALL THE WARNINGS):

knuckled under pain you mourn (but your blood is flowing) - babypronz

This is my favorite Agrestecest oneshot and, as one of my commenters pointed out, I may have inadvertently emulated some aspects of it while writing TMHTS. Oopsie. But it's a compliment to the writer. Really enjoyed this uncomfortable, but thoughtful piece. N/C. NSFW.

There are a few other Agrestecest fics I've enjoyed, but I've been avoiding the tag while writing because I don't want to further copy. I may go back and add them once I'm done. I remember this one the most though.

Everyone Needs a Friend - Talik_Sanis

Lila/Adrien oneshot. N/C. SFW but the implications are dark and it's not a good time for Adrien. Lots of saying a lot with very little. Well written with a gut punch of a last sentence.

There Are No Monsters Here - StealyEyed

In which Adrien takes self loathing to a horrifying new level. N/C. NSFW. (apparently I really like when Adrien is not having a good time)

Imposter by DreamMarry

The rare Sentimonster Emilie Agreste. Also Bad Parent Emilie Agreste. SFW. But very dark.

The Princess and the Tower - LouderDreams

Marinette whump! Ongoing. NSFW because of graphic violence. Gabriel gets a hold of Ladybug and behaves about as well as you might expect and worse.

once more, with feeling - zimtlein

I'm not sure if this counts as dark, but I'm going to list it anyway because Adrien is such a massively sadistic asshole in it and the love square is twisted. I usually don't like asshole Adrien fics, but this one really worked for me. Enemy AU. DEFINITELY NSFW.

Currently reading: Penumbra - Selkie077

Aaaaand back to Adrien whump. N/C. NSFW themes. Lila/Adrien. Only on chapter 10, but I'm pretty engaged so far!

I guess I read more dark fic in this fandom than I thought. Hope someone gets something out of this. Thanks for asking anon <3

MORE THAN OK - IF WE RUN, WE RUN TOGETHER

** spoiler warning**

First watch the Miraculous Paris special then read the fic.

"Are you sure?" she questioned. It was still hard to believe that she had healed anything. Sure, she had been using the power of creation for a while now - but she'd been using it to create harm, not undo it.

For a long moment, Adrien didn't speak or move. But then slowly, carefully, his hand came to rest over hers. "I'm okay," he said softly. "More than okay."

This is the final installment of a 3-part project to try to practice drawing hands. Who am I kidding? Just an excuse to draw fanart and reread my favorite #shadyclaw fics.

part 1 - part 2 - Part 3
