#seriously i want a fic that's just about the point blanc kids healing and coming to terms with what they went through

[peupeugunn]

i could not have been the only one that was. extremely disturbed and horrified when i was a kid and was reading the part in point blanc when alex finds out he was drugged and every inch of his body was photographed and studied. and in the show, alex went through the gemini files, saw those pictures and came to the realisation that THAT'S what that terrible fucked up nightmare he had on his first(?) night was. and reading that? seeing that? it was like, wow, this was meant to be a YA series?

Here’s what I want for the lovesquare in seasons 4 & 5...

I want Marinette and Luka dating for a little while, but I want Marinette pretty quickly realizing that Luka isn’t the right person for her. Sometimes two people can just not fit, and that’s the case here. They agree to remain friends.

I want Adrien trying to date Kagami. I want Kagami becoming increasingly frustrated because Adrien is paying so much attention to Marinette. I want Kagami making the decision to end things, because she wants someone who looks at her the way Adrien looks at Marinette.

(I want Kagami and Marinette maintaining and bettering their friendship because not everything is about boys.)

I want Ladybug realizing that Chat is the only person who she has always been able to depend on. I want her realizing that she has feelings for Chat, but believing that she can’t be with him because she thinks that, in a terrible alternate future, their love got Chat akumatized.

I want Chat believing that he should move on from Ladybug because she’s told him that she’s happily dating someone, and Adrien showing more interest in Marinette as a result. Everyone (Plagg, Nino, now Kagami!) thinks he’s into Marinette. Is there something to that?

Yup, I want the reverse lovesquare. I want Ladybug secretly pining over Chat and Adrien realizing that maybe he does like Marinette.

Except I want Adrien asking Marinette out because why not? They’re friends and everyone is telling him to go for it! So he does.

And Marinette is in love with Chat but she still likes Adrien. I want her conflicted because she also believes that in the alternate timeline, Adrien told someone about her identity. I want her deciding that that’s a different timeline and that she can’t hold something against Adrien that technically never happened. So long as Adrien doesn’t find out who she is, it’s okay.

So... why not? I want Marinette saying yes, but the burn of her crush has subsided into comfortable warmth and she can actually get two words out around Adrien. So I want them dating. Happily dating. And that garbage piece of trash Adrien calls a father is too preoccupied with healing the Peacock miraculous to pull the same stunt as he did in Chat Blanc.

So now I want Ladybug to be torn because she loves Adrien but goddamn Chat looks so happy when he talks about his girlfriend and it’s killing her but she wants to be happy for him and she will be happy for him no matter how much it hurts.

I want Chat focused on his friendship with Ladybug; he loves Marinette but Ladybug needs all the friendship and support he can muster. He’s dedicated to being there for her no matter what. And I want Ladybug leaning on him more than ever as the pressures of being the Guardian mount.

(I want Ladybug telling Chat to get help during a battle and trusting him to find someone. I want Chat grabbing the Mouse miraculous but being unable to find Marinette, and then freaking out to Ladybug that he can’t find Marinette while she awkwardly reassures him. Seriously. I think that would be hilarious.

Simultaneously, I want Adrien feeling guilty he can’t be there for Ladybug as Aspik because he was such a shitty Snake miraculous user. Never mind Plagg repeatedly pointing out that Adrien can’t be there because he’s Chat Noir for god’s sake)

Then I want the reveal. I want tears. I want realizations.

I want Ladybug telling Chat about that alternate future. I want Adrien telling Marinette that she makes him so happy he could never be akumatized over her or their love. But that if he was, he’s not afraid. Because he believes in her. She’s already saved him.

I want Ladybug realizing that Chat would never have told someone about her identity. I want them coming to the logical conclusion that someone must have seen them, and realizing that they have to be twice as careful.

But I want them being careful together. I want the lovesquare. I want Ladybug sharing some guardian secrets with Chat because the burden is too great for one girl. I want to see more Mister Bug and Lady Noire, but with awareness and cute flirting and a kiss! I want Mister Bug and Marinette interaction, and Lady Noire and Adrien interaction. I want these sweet kids to have some support for once; I want them to be able to lean on each other.

Because I’m sick of pointless drama and the near-reveals or reveals that get magically erased. And if I were one of the ML writers, this is how I’d make it happen. Maybe at some point I’ll make all this rambling into a fic, but in the meantime -

GIVE US THE LOVESQUARE WE DESERVE YOU COWARDS.
