Extra for Brave the Waters Chapter 6

A little snippet I wrote to understand what Alya and Nino were doing when Nino left the kitchen in Chapter 6. Enjoy! Strong language warning. :)

“Hey, uh, this is going to sound really strange but Adrien found someone in the woods…”

“What does that even mean??” Alya asks, using a towel to scrunch her hair.

“Dude, I barely even know. He just carried her in and said she must have been at the Abbott wedding and gotten lost.”

Alya’s eyes narrow at the mention of the traitors who passed her over in favor of some hotshot planner from the city. She’s not heartless, though. “Is she hurt? Do we need to call the police?”

“I think she’s okay…it’s just really weird, Al. She can’t talk, but it’s like Adrien is under a spell. He’s sitting at her feet and holding her hand, and she wouldn’t let go of him even to write her name. It’s bizarre.”

“What the fuck. Let me get dressed and I’ll go down there and see what’s up.”

Nino hesitates. “I mean. I don’t think he’s in any danger or anything. Don’t go too hard on her.”

His girlfriend makes a sound of disbelief. “Me? Too hard?”

“I know, babe. Just remember she isn’t Lila.”

Alya clenches one fist. “Don’t speak that witch’s name to me. I doubt there’s anyone in the world who can match her for sheer sliminess. Surely this one can’t be that bad.”

“She’s not. Just…weird.”

“Well, we’re used to weird around here. Maybe it’ll even be good for him. I haven’t seen him look sideways at anyone in years.”

They tiptoe to the stairs together, trying to look through the railings into the kitchen, but the door is half shut and they can’t see anything. Alya elbows Nino for not leaving it open, and he shrugs apologetically. They can hear some shuffling around, cabinets opening and closing and the quiet clink of cups and silverware.

“Making tea,” Alya mouths and rolls her eyes. It’s Adrien’s solution to all of life’s troubles. Nino laughs under his breath.

Then Adrien says the girl’s name worriedly, and Alya sits up straighter, straining to hear. 

“Let me help you…please…” Adrien’s voice drifts to them, his gentlest tone barely audible over the rain. The couple look at each other with matching expressions, eyebrows raised.

“I’m going in,” Alya whispers. Nino tries to hold her back, to give his buddy some extra time alone with the strange woman, but his girlfriend is a force of nature and slips down the stairs away from him.

Alya saunters casually into the kitchen as if she has no idea what’s going on. The sight that greets her is indeed an odd one, as Nino had said. Both Adrien and the woman are wet from the rain, and the woman is wearing an expensive-looking dress that would upstage any of Alya’s bridal clients. She feels a fierce surge of satisfaction at how pissed Miranda Abbott must have been. The stranger is as beautiful as her outfit, her hair thick and wavy, ruined now by the rain but clearly something to behold on a normal day. Adrien is standing next to the woman with his hand on her bare shoulder protectively, and Alya can see in an instant that he’s already a goner.

Poor, stupid boy.

Whitewashing in the ml fandom and why you shouldnt do (or support) it

Disclaimer: Because I am a Black person and the characters I am talking about are Black, this post will specifically address the white washing of Black people and characters.

What is white washing? White washing in the context of fanart is when you take a character of color, usually one with brown/black skin, and either make their skin lighter, give them more Eurocentric features, or both.

Why is it harmful? To explain why this is harmful, I will use one of the first examples of fanart; renaissance paintings of ancient Greek myths. Specifically, artwork featuring Princess Andromeda. Go to your search engine and type in "princess Andromeda". Based on those images, you would never have known that in the original Greek legends, Andromeda was black. So why is she most often depicted as a white woman?

McGrath’s article was definitive in addressing three things: that all the Greek mythographers placed Andromeda as a princess of Ethiopia, that Ovid specifically refers to her dark skin and that artists throughout Western art history frequently omitted to depict her blackness because Andromeda was supposed to be beautiful, and blackness and beauty – for many of them – was dichotomous.

That quote is from this article, and I highly recommend you give it a read. When you whitewash a character, you are perpetuating the idea in the quote above. That this character you like, whether you like them because they're funny or smart or beautiful, cannot be those things and also have black features.

White washing in miraculous ladybug

The show itself is guilty of whitewashing it's own characters. For example, look at these side by sides of Alya and Max alongside their hero alter egos.

Was this done with malicious intent? Hopefully not. But intentional or not, what it says to the people watching is, "These characters cannot have darker skin and also be heroes." And if you think it's not that deep, it is. The show's inconsistencies can't be used as an excuse for whitewashed fanart, because this shit isn't okay either.

Colorism and whitewashing

I'm going to bring up colorism, because even though Max's skin is lighter in that image, he still looks black. However, that doesn't make it okay.

colorism: prejudice or discrimination against individuals with a dark skin tone, typically among people of the same ethnic or racial group:

Lighter skinned Black people, while still targets of racism, are closer to whiteness than darker skinned Black people, and in some cases face less discrimination. When Black people first started to appear on TV, it was generally lighter skinned ones because that was more acceptable. This article goes more in depth about colorism.

Misogynoir and whitewashing.

Misogynoir is a word coined to describe the unique hatred that black women face. It is the intersection of racism and misogyny.

People may whitewash a female presenting character but not a male presenting character. In this fandom, you see it with DJWIFI fanart. People will make alyas skin color significantly lighter than Ninos. One trait of misogyny is tying a womans worth to their beauty. When you realize that beauty and blackness were (and still are) seen as antonyms, the issue with this type of whitewashing is made clear.

Texturism and whitewashing

texturism: a form of social injustice, where afro-textured hair or coarse hair types are viewed negatively, often perceived as "unprofessional", "unattractive", or "unclean".

When Black characters were first introduced to media, aspects of them would be changed to heighten their proximity to whiteness and make them more palatable to white audiences. Black women would get perms or silk presses, and Black men would keep their hair cut short and "tidy."

Note: This does not mean that all Black women with silk presses or perms or all Black men with short hair are trying to heighten their proximity to whiteness, or do not love themselves and their hair.

Animation has a history of not representing Black hair. Nowadays, Black hair is more represented, and beautifully so. Just look at movies like Encanto and Spiderman: Across the Spiderverse or TV shows like Moon girl and Devil Dinosaur.

In Miraculous Ladybug, Max is the only character with blatantly afro hair. Nino's hair is always covered and is cut short, and Alya's hair has a looser texture. Therefore, I give fanartists a pass on that one. However, this is a good thing to be aware of anyway.

How can you help?

Don't create, support, or reblog whitewashed art.

top 5 miraculous ships?

This one is also surprisingly hard, because Miraculous is the shipping show by excellence, and they’re all pretty compelling! That being said —

1. Feligami

Hopefully there’s no doubt about it by now. They single-handedly kicked me out of a months-long writer’s block, and ever since I’ve written paragraph over paragraph about them... with no intention to stop! 💜❤️

2. Lukadrien

With how much I talk about the Sentikids, you’d almost forget Luka was my favourite character back in season 3! Every time I write him, he and Adrien go heart-eyes over each other. It’s almost against my will at this point.

There’s so many interesting things to explore about them, from the angstiest to the sweetest. Luka feeling left out in Wishmaker only to bask in love in Migration. Adrien opening up about his Aspik trauma to someone who can understand. Luka being, to this day, the only person who figured out Chat’s identity. Two very pretty boys who are unlucky in love and terrible at getting what they want... Has anyone ever written Luka x Cat Walker? Lukatwalker? I think someone should write Lukatwalker. Don’t look at me, I have too many WIPs already!

3. Lukadrinette & Adrino

See, that’s where rankings get complicated, because where the Hell do I put Lukadrinette hmm? Hmmmmm? I love the three of them together more than I love Adrinette and Lukanette individually, but less than Lukadrien on its own. It’s a question of balance, I think.

And at the same time, Adrino. There’s just something so comforting about them. The warmth of it all! The dorky flirting in Rocketear! Nino being willing and ready to throw hands with Gabriel since the early episodes of season 1! I love Lukadrien, I love Lukadrinette, but there are universes in which my brain won’t accept any endgame other than Adrino. The Reverse is one of them — all it took was that one conversation between Adrien and Claw and BOOM!!!!! Clawdrino!!! They’re kissing as we speak. I follow the brainworms where they take me.

“But Nina!” I hear you ask, “why not get the best of both words by writing Lukadrino?” to which I reply that you are so right. I’m very curious to see where that might lead us. Unfortunately I am, as previously established, battling an army of WIPs, so the exploration will have to wait.

4. Ladynoir

For the Strikeback of it all. And the London special of it all, too! Marichat was my favourite side of the Love Square for a very long time, but recently I’ve had a craving for…

5. Adribugnoire. Or whatever it’s called.

I’m a hurt/comfort enthusiast, so this surprises absolutely no one. It’s perfect to explore Mari’s crushing responsibilities and her relationships to the people in the know (Kagami Felix Kagami Felix Nathalie Kagami Felix Plagg Bunnyx Kagami FELIX FELIX FELIX). It’s perfect to explore the Sentilore, which you know is my brand. It’s perfect because if I’m going to put a character through the angst machine, you better believe it’s going to be Adrien. It’s perfect because have you seen Bug Noire??? She’s so pretty!!! The London special spoiled me so much!!!

Special mentions:

Julerose and Marcaniel are very cute, of course. DJWiFi I think works best as a QPR, but I might be biased because Kittybella!!! I love Kittybella. Zoenette is also cute. I love Alyanette and especially Loveyalya, the pining is simply excellent. Speaking of the Loveybug AU, Loveyblanc… All these dynamics are so fun to play with, but I rarely get around to it because the Sentikids take up so much of my writing time. As they should! 💚💜❤️

And then there’s the box of ships I don’t want to be canon/endgame, but which I think bring something extremely interesting to the story. Feligami would not be as compelling as it is if it weren’t for Adrigaminette. The plot would not exist at all without Gabeminath. Cholila has so much narrative potential. I’m not rooting for them, but I enjoy what they bring to the table!

Thanks for the ask! 💜❤️

The living room is dark and empty. Though Alya’s family has gone to bed, Alya is wide awake, as usual. She sits on the small patio balcony, computer perched on her lap and keyboard clicking softly beneath her fingers.

Summer has finally crept in, and Alya has decided she likes Paris summers, when the air is warm and clings to her skin like a sopping towel. It reminds her of home. She’s a bit cool in her thin camisole and pajama shorts, but if she was dressed in anything more, it would break the illusion. 

She rests her laptop on the patio table and pauses her writing to reach for a candle labeled driftwood & sea salt. The wick is still white and slick with wax, unlit because Alya is afraid to burn through the candle, to lose this scent and this memory.

While Alya has some notes on how the candle’s sage oils aren’t quite the aroma of ocean water that she craves, this is the closest she has come to smelling the salty ocean air in the last year. She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, wishing that sage were more like driftwood, wishing that Paris’s summers were thicker, wishing that home could always feel like home, wherever she is.

When she opens her eyes, a pair of feet dangle above her, clad in black leather and tipped with thin silver bands, curved like a pair of cat’s claws. She only just manages to shove aside the candle as the rest of the black cat superhero drops onto her balcony. To his credit, he looks as startled to see her as she is to see him.

Chat d’Ombre’s hood is low over his face, the goggles over his eyes are tinted green, and despite the loose shape of the hood over his head, the rest of his outfit is tight and trim, with thin green stripes that follow his figure from shoulder to toe.

“Sorry—” he says, and instantly backs away until he hits the railing that walls in the small patio. “I was just out patrolling—Didn’t realize you were out here—I was only—Just on my way—”

“You don’t have to go,” Alya says before she can quite stop herself. She tugs on the gold studs in her ears and, on an impulse she knows she shouldn’t follow, asks, “Where’s your partner?”

“I’m on my own tonight,” he says. “I—the power for the fan in my place went out, so I thought I’d get some fresh air.”

Alya laughs. “This weather is too much for you?”

“It’s <i>hot</i>,” he complains.

“Maybe I’ll update my blog tonight: ‘Paris’s beloved cat superhero’s greatest weakness—humidity.’”

He sticks his tongue out at her, and she sticks hers right back out at him, but the surprise and discomfort have vanished. He perches on the railing of her balcony like its the most comfortable place in the world.

“You don’t normally write about Scarabella and me,” he says, and tips his head to one side, like a cat examining a fish in a bowl.

Alya’s cheeks grow hot, and she wonders if maybe summer is too warm after all. “Well—plenty of other people do. And I sometimes will—you know—report on what they report on. It’s… <i>interesting</i> how they report on us—I mean—our heroes.” She coughs and hopes he doesn’t catch her near slip. “I didn’t know you read my blog.”

Her blog started as a way to chronicle her family’s move from one side of the world to the other. Then it became a way for her to adjust to Paris and invest in it. When she’s not reframing personal anecdotes into insightful narratives, she’s calling for action on Mylène’s latest project or critiquing Mayor Bourgeois’s latest mandates. Nino had once suggested she write about Paris’s heroes, had even suggested the name “The Bella Blog,” but she tries not to write about Scarabella and Chat d’Ombre—she’s too worried she might give herself away.

Chat d’Ombre shrugs. “I really like the way you write about home. And Paris. And the way it, you know, is and isn’t home.”

“Is Paris home for you?” she asks, though she immediately bites her tongue. “Sorry—I suppose you’re not supposed to share identity details with civilians, right?” But that lie tastes even worse that the dread from her question. She’s the one who has insisted on secrecy between them, for the sake of Paris. Personal details about her partner’s home aren’t allowed.

Chat d’Ombre shrugs and slides down from her railing. He stretches his arms over his head, and his back arches like a cat kneading its claws into the carpet. He even flexes his fingers like he’s attempting to make biscuits out of the humid night air. 

“Paris wasn’t always home,” he says, which is gratefully vague enough that she has no new clues to who he is. “I mean, I’ve always lived here,” he says, “but it didn’t always feel like home. It does now, though.” He reaches for one of the iron patio chairs and pulls it closer. He slumps into it, legs straddling the back with his chin resting on the metal curls with their flaking white paint. The light glints off of the green glass guarding his eyes, and Alya wonders, not for the first time, what it would be like to lift those goggles from his eyes, to truly see the boy who would be waiting behind them.

“Do you think that has to do with being a superhero?”

He frowns, as if he hadn’t considered this yet. “Maybe. I think it has more to do with the friends I’ve made.”

Heat pricks on the back of Alya’s neck. “Friends like Scarabella?”

He folds his arms under his chin and sinks his head into the crook of his elbow like a cat settling in for a nap. “She’s a good friend, yeah.”

She rests her elbow on the table and leans into her hand, tipping her head to meet the angle of his eyes. “Just your friend.”

“Oh, sure. We keep it profesh. Besides, I’ve had my eyes on another girl for a while.”

Alya’s heart twitches and she has to swallow down the sudden ache. “‘A while’? You haven’t told her?”

“I don’t think she notices me.”

“You’re literally a superhero. How could she not notice you?”

He smiles wryly. “That’s the thing, isn’t it? I can’t tell her who I am. And how am I supposed to get her to notice who I really am if all she sees is… this.”

“What do you want her to see?”

“I hope she thinks I’m funny. I hope she thinks I’m loyal. Trustworthy, dependable. Caring, cool, confident… even if I don’t feel confident.”

As he says it, she is suddenly aware of the way the clawed tips of his gloves tap anxiously against the back of the chair. He’s nervous—she makes him nervous.

“Do you want me to post a personal ad for you on my blog? ‘Caring, cool, confident guy who can’t reveal his name, seeking…?’”

He laughs, a single silly snort in a burst of humor. But then it settles into something soft. She’s familiar with the teasing arch of his eyebrow and she braces herself for a stupid pun, but instead he says something surprisingly genuine:

“Seeking someone thoughtful, insightful. Someone who sees the world as it is and presents it honestly, but is still optimistic about what it could become.”

Alya responds by blowing a fat raspberry into her palm. “That could be anyone.”

“No, it’s not anyone.”

The chair tips forward under his weight. Alya’s heart pounds in her chest, but she leans forward, too. 

“The thing is, though,” he says, voice low, “if I tell her how I feel right now, I can’t tell her as me.”

“Then don’t tell her anything,” Alya murmurs, and closes the distance between them.

As his lips press against hers, all she can think is that this is what home is supposed to feel like. It’s steady, supportive, and genuine. It’s about trust and commitment. This is her partner, and she wants him to be her partner in everything. 

And if she trusts him with her life every time she dons a magical disguise, why shouldn’t she trust him with her identity beneath that disguise?

He presses back against her, but as he presses too far, the chair slips out from under him and goes crashing to the floor. He goes with it, and so does she, laughing as she falls on top of him.

He winces and rubs his shoulder where he hit the ground. Alya sits up, enough to allow him room to sit beside her. His hood slides off of his head, revealing closely shorn curls and Alya reaches out to brush her fingers against them.

“Does it break the romantic alluring mystery?” he asks with a wry smile.

“I like it.”

“You know this means this is all we get, right? No dates, no holding hands along the riverbank, just… late night balcony visits.”

Alya purses her lips. “It doesn’t have to be.”

“I can’t tell you who I am. Scarabella would murder me and then fire me.”

“Oh, I didn’t realize she was your boss.”

“I mean, she’s not, but she is sort of the one in charge.”

“What if Scarabella told you her identity first? Then you could tell me yours, right?”

“I don’t know if that’s how that works.”

“Ask her.”

“Ask Scarabella if she can tell me her secret identity, just so that I can share my secret identity with the girl I like?”

“Yes.”

“I don’t think she’ll say yes.”

“She already did.”

But Chat’s brow furrows and so, with a wide grin, Alya says, “Tikki, spots on.”

There’s a flash of pink, and when her vision clears, she expects to see Chat d’Ombre staring with perhaps shock or wonder, something romantic at least. Instead, he bursts out into laughter and even falls over.

Scarabella grips him by the shoulders to hold him still, but his laughter persists.

“It’s not that funny! I can be a superhero!”

“It’s not that,” he laughs. “I’ve just—I’ve liked you this whole time and you—I never would have guessed—” In between laughs and hiccups, he manages to spit out, “Plagg, claws in.”

Green light bursts from his ring and washes over him. The fine black leather catsuit disappears, leaving behind a plain t-shirt and a plain boy, no hood or goggles, staring up at her with the familiar silly grin of her best friend.

Alya doesn’t feel like laughing. She only gapes at him. “Nino?”

“The one and only.”

“But—but—” 

But of course he is. His sense of humor, his need for freedom, his casual, gentle, and compassionate approach to everything—if she had not been so distracted by the intrigue and mystery of a boy in a dark hood, perhaps she would have seen it sooner.

His laughter is suddenly lost in worry as her shock fails to clear.

“Is it—is it okay that it’s me?” he asks.

She sinks down on top of him, pinning him to the ground with her whole weight. “More than okay,” she says, and kisses him again.

Home, for Alya, was always the place she felt loved. Safety was not part of it, couldn’t be with storms raging and her father’s wild animals always in the periphery, but love was always part of it, from her parents to her sisters. As Nino slides his hand through Scarabella’s thick, magically finished curls, she merely adds this love to her definition of home. The place isn’t important, neither is the weather.

As Nino said, it’s the friends he made that made it home. And this friendship—because at its core it still is a friendship and a partnership—is the thing that makes Paris home.

Let's talk Miraculous!! Do you have a favourite ship? (Love square included)

Hey!

The easy answer is love square it is just sooo entertaining to have 4 different dynamics between two people! If I had to pick a side I usually pick marichat, but I genuinely love all four!

The non-love square ship I appreciate is Djwifi!

Thank you for asking!!

[generalluxun]

Silly Sabrina crack-headcanon:

One of those 'vow of celebacy'/ 'I choose to wait' presenters comes to Francis DuPont. They're persuasive and so many of the kids are on board. Adrienette are saints, Myvan are blushing innocents. Djwifi are awkwardly blushing for other reasons when they don't take cards for themselves.

Then there's Sabrina. She's just been quietly shaking, head down this whole time. Classmates and the presenter are concerned. The presenter gently encourages her to take a card and not be embarrassed.

That's when her head comes up. That's when she has to hold her sides. That's when everyone realizes... She's been *giggling* this whole time.

She just blurts out, "Too late!" And falls off her bench in a fit of laughter.

The gossip mill goes full tilt for weeks.

It's going to be okay

Ler: Luka Couffaine

Lee: Adrien Agreste

❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜❤️🧡

Ships: little lukadrien hehe

Warnings: This is a tickle fic, if you don’t like it, just scroll down

This fanfic is originally in Portuguese, my English is translated using an automatic translator, if there are any big errors you can tell me so I can fix them

❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜❤️🧡

Luka's house was always open to anyone who wanted to come in

Luka could be found in his room at any time of the day

And since Luka was great at giving advices, sometimes some people would show up there without warning

The boy was with his eyes closed, playing his guitar softly when he heard footsteps in the hallway towards his room

He opened one eye and saw Adrien

"Hi Adrien, what brings you here?"

The blond looked a little sad, he walked up to the boy and in front of him started to cry

"Adrien..." Luka quickly put down the guitar and pulled his friend to lie on the bed with his head in his lap

"I'm nervous, Luka!" The boy began “every day I have the same nightmare that I turn into Cat Blanc and end the world, I kill Ladybug…”

“Adrien, you don’t need to worry, it’s just a stupid dream, you won’t turn into Cat Blanc”

“And how do you know?”

“Because you’re always so happy, Monarc wouldn’t be able to catch you”

Adrien sighed “maybe”

Luka smiled “if you keep being so sad he’ll want to turn you into evil”

“Then help me…” Adrien spoke a little embarrassed

“How?”

“You know…”

The boy smiled “if that’s what you want”

Luka slowly placed his hands on his sides

Adrien began to smile

“It’ll be okay” Luka said calmly

The musician usually tickled people when they were sad, just to see them smile, this would be no different with Adrien

“Hey, Adrien, why are you holding you’re laugh?” Luka asked

Adrien had his hands over his mouth and was trying not to laugh too loudly

“Don’t worry, you can laugh” he said moving his hands to the boy’s belly

“Luhuhukahaha!”

“You asked me for this” Luka said laughing “don’t worry, just relax, it’s okay”

Adrien held the other’s hands

“Nohohohoho! Plehehehashehe”

“Do you want me to stop?”

Adrien didn’t say anything, but Luka stopped

“See? It’s okay”

Adrien stood up and gave his friend a big hug

“Whenever you need, you can come here, it’s okay”

Adrien smiled and blushed a little “Luka…”

“Yes?”

“I didn’t say I wanted you to stop”

Luka laughed and jumped on top of the other again, in his head he could only think: ‘cute’

I want them to make each other WORSE. I want them to tango on the rooftops as they plot the downfall of the world whilst finding ways to get rid of each other. I don't want them to have any redemption arcs LET GIRLS BE EVIL.

They are ML's toxic yuri AND THEY DESERVE MORE RECOGNITION.

4 - Eminath (Emilie and Nathalie)

Nathalie was willing to terrorise Paris and ladynoir in order to bring Emilie back to life AND THAT IS PEAK ROMANCE TO ME. And then she stopped when she realised how mistreated Adrien was and saw the video that Emilie made??!??

THEY ARE MARRIED IN ANOTHER TIMELINE WITH A HAPPY ADRIEN WITH TWO LOVING MOTHERS IDFC.

5 - DJWifi (Alya and Nino)

I really, really REALLy love their dynamic! I love how confident and fiery Alya is and how chill and silly Nino is. I love that even these two subvert gender roles and we have him often jumping to conclusions and spilling secrets whilst she's there to kiss his worries away and ensure that she's there by his side 💓

They are actually really wholesome and I wish we got more pre-relationship goodness between them both before they got together because that's my favourite part when it comes to romance~!!!

6 - Plikki/Cheesecake (Plagg and Tikki)

I love them. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. JUST WEE LITTLE GODS until they show their fucking amazing cryptic love craftien true forms!!!! He calls her sugarcube and she calls him stinkysock I LOVE THEM.

Honourable mentions - Juleka and Rose, Gabriel and Emilie, Amelie and Nathalie, onesided Lila being obsessed with Marinette, onesided Felix crushing on Marinette, Alya and Marinette/Nino and Adrien (to an extent because I don't like any ships that break up the lovesquare), Gabriel and Harry Clown, Tom and Sabine, Gabriel and Nathalie and probably more but I can't remember LOL.

I did think briefly about Max getting the mouse miraculous mainly because I thought being really small would help with building tech stuff since they have small components. So if any nextgen kids were the techie type they could do that?

Also I feel like DJWifi twins would be the type to create a duo name for themselves along with their individual hero names. like if one was the turtle and one was the dragon they could be Sword and Shield or if fox and monkey then maybe Prankster Duo?

*side eyes a thing*

Okay but also I 100% want them to be a duo.

[campbells-content]

Unedited, not spell checked un proofed au that I've randomly been adding to this past week. It is a big mess but its my mess.

I now present to you, road trip au.

It all started with Chloe wanting to confront her mother in new york. They are like 17ish in this. She asks Adrien to come for moral/emotional support he says yeah because he is all for Chloe redemption. This is partially through a redemption arc with Chloe. She's trying to do better but it's still and effort she has to make, it doesn't come naturally. Marinette, Adrien's girlfriend, accidentally invites herself but everyone is cool with it. It gets a little stressful when Nino and Alya also end up tagging along. Chloe is kind of worried about them getting in the way but keeps quite as to not hurt their feelings. She has yet to reach the forming her own boundaries in her arc, but we'll get there. When they get to new york things don't go too great. Her mom shuts her down instantly, claiming she is a failed legacy and that she'd never fulfill the potential being her daughter allowed her to have. Chloe wants to be mad. She wants to scream, but all she can do is tear up and run out the building.

Adrien McMoney is leaning against a very soccer mom-esk van, twirling the keys around his fingers. He asks how it went, already frowning at her expression but wanting to remain optimistic. She just passed him, mumbling "lets go" and, getting it the passenger side. He picks up and hurries to his seat. "So..." "No, I don't want to talk about it." "Okay, we don't have to yet." "Good." "Do you wanna go get food? Or we can pick up the gang and go out somewhere?" "Just do whatever." Chloe just stared out the window, watching buildings pass as Adrien drove to the hotel. Their friends came down and hopped in the back, Marinette leaning up to kiss her boyfriend's cheek. She also said hi to chloe but got no response. "So..." Adrien continued driving as he spoke. "Anyone up for apple beez?" Nino and Alya cheered from the back seats. Chloe hummed and Marinette said "that sounds great." They got there, Djwifi leading the way and Chloe trailing behind.

They got the big corner booth that wraps around and Adrien made sure Chloe was next to him but she also ended up sandwiched between him and Marinette. "You guys can order whatever, I'll pay." There were some protests, mostly from his girlfriend but he insisted. Chloe had been on a downward spiral and was almost unresponsive so Adrien ordered for her. While they wait for their food the class gc pinged.

Juleka: 'Tsunami, anyone in America?'

It was realnames, so they know its the serious gc.

Adrien: 'knda sme boat but we her'

Nino: 'wer u at goth gril'

Juleka: 'Arizona, my step mom is gonna push me to murder, who else is tsunami?'

Alya: 'Chloe'

Juleka: 'Oof'

Marinette: 'yep'

Adrien looked up. "Yall wanna go get her?" Everyone agreed except chloe who continued to lay her forehead on the table.

Adrien: "think u can hld up 4 2 dys"

Juleka: "I'll try not to kill someone."

There was a string of gl's and the crew got their food, ate, paid, and skedadled. Marinette was now in the front, djwifi in the back and Chloe in the middle alone. After about six hours they pulled into a gas station cause Nino had to use the restroom again. Adrien rubbed the sleep from his eyes. Marinette knew he couldn’t go much longer, but they wanted to get there as long as possible. "Chloe?"

Adrien looked at his girlfriend as she turned to the middle back of the van. "Hmm?" She looked up from her hands, still looking stressed as before but not in the middle of a break down. "Do you think you can drive for a little? No one else has their temporary license." "You don't have to-" Adrien tried to cut in but the other blonde just nodded and got out the van to take Adrien's place. He reluctantly swaped, taking Nino's seat in the back next to a almost passed out Alya. It didn't take long for either of them to fall asleep leaving Nino confused when he returned to the van after a potty break. Chloe drove silently while Marinette tried to make small talk but she was ignored by everyone but Nino.

After about 8 hours Adrien woke up, saying he'll take over. Everyone else was still asleep but they swaped out and Chloe sat in the middle next to Nino. Adrien drove for the next 12 hours and Chloe seemed to stay asleep for most of it, not even waking up when they stopped for food. They stopped for dinner and Adrien woke her up so she could eat something. 2 more hours and Chloe took over, now with Nino in the passenger seat and everyone in the back. Nino took a nap and woke up to Chloe stopped in a gas station on her phone. "Chlo?" "Yeah?" "Why are we here?" "I'm trying to pull up maps, I don't know how to get to her apartment from here." "Why didn't you just call her?" "...I can do that?" "Why wouldn't you?" "We're not really friends?" "Chloe, you just drove half way across the country to pick her up. I'm sure she wouldn't mind a call." He pulled out his phone and called Juleka, putting it on speaker when she picked up. "Hey, Jules, we're almost there but we're a little lost." He described where they were, and Juleka told them how to get there. When they got there, Nino woke everyone up and they got out to stretch their legs. The girls all hugged while Chloe leaned against the van. When they got in the van, Chloe went to the back, adrino got in the front and Juleka followed to the back while alynette sat in the middle. The four in the front talked, sometimes with Juleka, sometimes just among their seat partner or eachother. After awhile Juleka tried to talk to Chloe. "So, family, right?" "Yep." The blonde turned toward the window. "Sorry." "'S fine." Juleka ended up falling asleep as Adrien drove around, looking for a hotel. They found one and had to decide sleeping arrangements. "Chloe, Juleka, yall are kind of the deciding factor here." "Yeah, yall wanna share a room or a bed or what?" "I'm fine with whatever." Chloe looked out the window, only half listening. "Just do whatever is easiest."

"How about 3 singles. I don't think I can wait for anyone else to shower." Alya joked, already grabbing her and nino's bags from the trunk. Juleka and Chloe climbed out the back, taking their own bags and following the group inside. Adrien paid and they went to their rooms. Chloleka in one, Adrinette in the next, and djwifi in the last. Juleka got the first shower and stepped out of the room to go look for a vending machine. Instead she found ninette hanging out outside their rooms. "Hey dude!" "Hey Jules!" "Hi." Both Alya and Adrien got the first shower and hadn't gotten out yet. They talk for half an hour before Adrien and Chloe come out, looking for their room partners. Adrien is ready for bed but Marinette still had to shower so he hung out with them as the sun set. Alya came out, Nino went in, and Marinette and Nino came out at about the same time. Nino and Alya wanted food and Juleka had yet to fine a vending machine so they convinced Chloe to drive them to jack in the box. Juleka's had it, no one else has. Juleka sat in the passenger seat while djwifi watched jack in the box commercials on youtube. "I can drive, ya'know?" Chloe stopped in the middle of the parking lot, turning to Juleka. "I could be sleeping."

"Sorry." Chloe pressed her forehead to the steering wheel. "Where already here..." She drove forward and into the drive through. Djwifi gave their orders, Juleka got nervous so Chloe had to order for her and Adrinette. She pulled forward and paid then pulled forward again to wait for food. They got back, putting Adrinette's food in one of their minifridges because no one answered when they knocked. Chloe went to lay down, almost forgetting that Juleka was following behind her. She collapsed and laid there for a few minutes before turning to Juleka awkwardly standing next to microwave. "You okay?" "Hmm..? Yeah, I'm fine." "Not tired?" "I.. dunno." "I'm not gonna stop you from sleeping." "I know." "Then whatsup?"

She sat up, already missing the warmth of the bed. The broken expression on Juleka's face was one she knew too well. "You wanna talk about it?" "Do you?" Juleka sat at the foot of the bed. "Not really." "Yeah." They sat in silence for a minute. "She told me no matter how much potential I had, I would never amount to anything worthwhile." "Damn." "Yeah." "My step mom just preached that I was a going to hell for liking girls." "Shit, sorry." "It's nowhere near as bad as yours." "Is it? If anyone told me that I think I'd lose it. Its 202X for christ's sake." "... So... you like girls?" "Yeah..." "Thats cool." "Yep." Another beat of silence. "So... how about some sleep." "Yep." They laid down and tried to get some sleep. Chloe got to sleep pretty easily but woke up half way through the night and got up cause she couldn't get back to sleep. Juleka didn't get to sleep until after Chloe left, pretending to be asleep until Chloe left the room. Chloe just vibed outside the hotel, drinking a cup of coffee. Eventually Adrien came out with his own cup of coffee. She asked for a sip and then spat it out. "Thats just sugar milk." "I am but a simple man." "Your teeth will rot before you're 40." "Denchers are a thing." They laughed and enjoyed the morning, the air slightly lighter than its been these past few days. By the time Alya woke up they decided it was probably a good time to wake everyone up. They worked together to wake up Marinette before splitting up to their own rooms. Chloe didn't know the kindest way to wake Juleka up. She tried calling her name, tapping her shoulder, even shaking her. The goth was dead asleep. Chloe went to ask Adrinette for help but they were in the middle of getting ready. Then she went to ask djwifi and nino said to just throw water on her. She and Alya both said not to do that. They all got ready, agreeing to give Juleka 30 more minutes because they couldn't think of a humane way to wake her up.

Chloe got dressed and then went to Adrinette's room to hang out with the group. They talked and messed around, occasionally trying to wake up Juleka untill time came that they had to check out. Alyninette took the bags to the van, Adrien went to go check out and Chloe went to wake Juleka up. She tried everything sane again then decided to kindof listen to nino. She went and got ice from the ice machine and put it in a bag then on Juleka's neck. A couple minutes later Juleka woke up, a little discombobulated. Chloe told her they were leaving and then waited outside the room. When she finished getting ready they did a once over of the room and went out to the van. Adrinette in the front, djwifi in the back and chloleka in the middle. "Sooo, where we going?" "I have absolutely no idea." "Wanna go to skyzone?" Everyone turned to Juleka with stars in their eyes. They went there and ended up spending most the day there. Then they went to a nearby mall to eat and walk around until closing, just being kids. They got to another hotel only to realize Adrien lost his wallet somewhere so Chloe says she'll pay and somehow the hotel is out of almost all rooms but a couple doubles. A family came in behind them asking for a double so the group just got one room and crammed in there. "So..." "Anyone wanna play a game?" They agreed and they played some party games for awhile. Go fish, uno, truth or dare, spin the bottle. After a few hours Adrien was knocked out and alynette were close behind. Alya convinced mari and her boyfriend to carry Adrien to bed and then cuddle to sleep, leaving chloleka to talk or sleep in the other bed. Neither could sleep so they laid down face to face and whispered to each other. "When did you know?" "Know what?" "That you liked girls?" "I guess I've always known. What about you?" "Ladybug." "Makes sense." They tried to muffle their laughs. They talked for awhile and then fell asleep. They woke up with and made a game plan.

They went and got Adrien's wallet, but they couldn't get a flight for everyone for a week so they planned to mess around while driving to new york, now rotating Adrien Chloe and Juleka in driving shifts. They just be kids and enjoy themselves. When they make it back to Paris, Chloe offers a ride to drop Juleka off at the boat and Aladrininette go to Adrien's. Juleka asks if Chloe wants to hang out and they end up spending the next few days together. I have been working on this for too long so this is where it ends for now.

[wisteriasymphony]

how is it that i was thinking about that fuckass loser luka earlier and then thought “wait i can’t remember. what is juleka like in tweos” AND THEN YOU POST JULEKA ART

uhm. because i have access to all of my nation's minds. (except for the part that would let me distinguish between anon asks. that power i am still honing)

I should really post more TWEOS!Couffaine stuff though! Same with DJWifi/Nicaliyah. They deserve more. especially Aaliyah. i just have this perfect idea of her in my head and then i draw her and like.. i can't get it across the way i want, which sucks because i worry it comes across like she's my least favorite/not as developed as her own character when she is. She likes bagels and is a go-getter and loves documentaries and is the nonfiction girl to Adrien's fiction boy (in an antagonistic way lol) and is the true brains behind the Ladybug team and--- she's super cool. and i undersell that a lot. lol

AN-Y-WAY. yes i am psychic but also i like the validation of asks so like. if you guys want to see art of the side characters you have to ask or i won't know. but i will know because psychic powers, but i will pretend i won't because i'm a bitch. unless you tell my yourself then i will do it. yep.

12 - Mireille

Oh? Mireille fans assemble? :D

12. What’s a headcanon you have for this character?

Since it was asked thrice, I shall give a longer answer! Slipping some from my AU, hope you don't mind!

Mireille knows how to sew, but mostly "basic" things like how to sew a button, the hem of pants and stitching back a small tear. However, she's very talented at embroidery, and she loves it too. She went to the same embroidery classes as Marinette, that's how they became friends.

Her two main after-school activities are embroidery and drama classes. As contradictory as it can seem, she's very good at acting too and has a lot of fun doing so. It's also a way to unwind and try to overcome her shyness. She has a friendly rivalry with Aurore in those classes, battling to get the lead role and improvising out of the blue during rehearsals.

Theo is her cousin from her mother's side. Mireille's father is Chinese while Theo's mother is Algerian, which is why their family traits aren't that obvious. They're very close.

Their eyes (mostly the colour) and browline are very similar in my opinion.

15. What’s your favorite ship for this character? (Doesn’t matter if it’s canon or not.)

Canon-wise, it's hard to ship Mireille with anyone other than Aurore since she's a background character ^^;

However, if we're speaking about my AU, I am seriously considering Alya/Mireille endgame! (wait, please! Don't throw rocks at me for making DJWifi break up please!!)

20. Which other character is the ideal best friend for this character, the amount of screentime they share doesn’t matter

Marc and Mireille strike me as potential best friends, like the two friends introverts who hang out to read a book together or just sit and do their hobbies (Marc writing while Mireille embroiders) together.

Mylène could be a nice choice too, two timid girls who are trying to come out of their shell/comfort zone to stand up for what they believe in, supporting each other and going at a similar pace.

I like to imagine Mireille and Marinette as good friends too, sharing their passion for pretty clothing and fangirling over their favourite artists together.

[alyaappreciation]

I found the side blog! So Alya related question. Which feels more fresh, an Alya PoV set later, perhaps reclaiming some DJwifi after a break (maybe Record Scratch follow up) or something set more in the canon-era.

I prefer canon era, personally. It feels more true to the show, more... I dunno, real for the characters I guess? Though I like Alya POV just in general, being treated with compassion and respect and understanding, having the reader look at things through her eyes and sympathize with her, having the reader start believing that her thoughts and feelings and mindset MATTER. That Alya matters.
