Oh, Tikki— what an absolute idiot she’s been, never allowing herself to fully embrace cuddling him. How could she have lived this long, not allowing herself to tuck herself into his chest as they sleep? The tattoo on his chest is so warm against the palm she has up against him— her other hand slung across the muscle of his arm. Even while completely gone and completely asleep— his claws trace soft patterns against her bare back— following the curvature of her spine— making her produce so many shivers that she feels like hiding her face in her pillow.

His magic, too— it curls against hers lazily, basking against how they fit with each other, just as comfortable and interlocked as they are physically. His magic isn’t as responsive when she pokes at it with hers— he’s asleep, for sure, she can tell by the way it lags in its responses from her ministrations— but it continues to mold against hers like a bubble. Even in his sleep, Chat Noir wants nothing more than to curl his magic against hers.

She feels giddy.

They’re completely and totally enveloped with one another— intertwined and so cozy that she feels safe and protected, physically and magically. She could fall asleep just like this, basking in his warmth, basking in the cocoon they’ve made for themselves with the bedsheets and how— even if they’re naked— she’s never felt warmer and more at ease in bed in her life. She could tuck herself closer to the point she has no idea where he ends and she begins, if it weren’t for her insatiable need to look at him— she’s never been able to watch Chat Noir sleep before.

He looks younger when asleep.

She never knew that.

Obviously she hasn’t exactly had the ability to notice something like that— he’s only ever slept in his cat form for the year they’ve been together, changing into sleep clothes just out of sheer habit— but it’s such a shame. She never wants to sleep again, if she can just look at him instead. She doesn’t want to miss out on any of it.

There is something princely about him, but she can’t place what it is— maybe it’s the color of his hair that matches all of the gold pieces she’s seen in her lifetime. Is it his jawline? His nose? The shape of his eyes— even while closed? All of these put together turn out to be a beautiful masterpiece, one that she wishes she could sculpt, but knows she’d never get close to his likeness, even if she spent years at it. Even with all the good fortune in the world, she wouldn’t be a good enough sculpture to pinpoint exactly why or how she sees him as the prince he’s always claimed he is.

She can’t stop looking at him. She doesn’t want to stop looking at him.

She’s never given herself the chance to look at him until now— she doesn’t want to stop.

She relishes every single pore. Every eyelash. She follows the sweep of his brows with her gaze— apprehensive to touch him and shatter this moment, but finds herself reaching anyway— studies how there isn’t any angle to his brows while he sleeps from the lack of thoughts or whatever that worries him. She’s much more inclined to actually believe that he’s the prince of hell as she looks at him now, petting at his under eyes with her thumb, enraptured with how fairy-tale-like his face is. With his eyes closed— his teeth hidden behind his lips— she’s even almost under the impression that Chat Noir is, in fact, human.

Well. He sure used to be— that’s the truth. They know that for sure.

But she’s not sure about him being Adrien, and she knows why he doesn’t want to say it out loud. It wouldn’t be fair to get their hopes up… that the man in front of her used to be the boy she would go visit when he was feeling sick— the same boy that would spend hours a week teaching her how to read the Latin alphabet— the same boy who laughed and giggled with Nino for hours on end about who-knows-what whenever their friend group got together. The boy who first brought Luka into the friend group with a friendly wave and a smile and a tug at the naga’s hands— oh, if Chat Noir really is that same boy— how ironic!

His hair is the same as Adrien’s— a beautiful gold, regal and shiny. His pupils aren’t the same shape— she’s certain that Adrien had human eyes— but the green color could be the same. She knows that there’s magic at play, so she can’t consider any of this to be physical proof that they’re the same person— but it’s hard not to see the similarities now that it’s been brought to her attention. But even Chat’s teeth are different than a humans— there’s no telling what else the magic has changed. Hair color— eye color— who knows if all of his human attributes were changed once he became a demon.

But…

But none of that matters.

She doesn’t mind it. Adrien, or no Adrien— she’s fallen in love with Chat Noir. The beautiful, gorgeous man who continues to trace circles on her back with his claws that are deadly— the same claws that rip and tear through flesh like nothing— with blonde smudges of his eyelashes resting against his cheekbones. She traces his lips with her fingertips, wondering if it’ll be okay if she can kiss him.

“You think too loud, Princess.” His voice feels tender against her fingers. The arm around her waist curls and pulls her into him as he continues to kiss her nails so softly it feels like a breeze— oh, sweet Tikki— she’s shivering already. He moves his tail so that it thumps against the mattress underneath the bedsheets, so she’s aware that he’s trying to stop himself from pouting, pulling her closer and closer to keep her goosebumps from getting worse.

The great Chat Noir…

An absolute cuddler of a man. Truly— completely cuddly. Amorous— a cuddle pile— a purring machine. Turned absolutely honeyed and pliable under her fingertips.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to wake you— I’m just admiring you,” She kisses the skin closest to her mouth. It’s somewhere in between the ball of his shoulder and the line of his collarbone. “I can finally see you again, now that there’s sunlight— I don’t want to stop looking at you.”

“Mmm.” There’s a smile in his voice. “I don’t think you were all that upset after a bit— I got you distracted real easily yesterday.”

“You’re right.” She feels her face heat. Even after all of it— how her body feels like a well-blended mixture between sore and relaxed— her face twitches in a way that she can’t comprehend. She feels bashful— and hides her worries by continuing to kiss the same patch of skin over and over and over until he laughs at the sensation.

“Sleep for a little longer, little witch,” His voice rumbles against her forehead as she presses it against his chest. The tattoo is so beautiful on his skin. “I want to enjoy this a little longer with you.”

It’s not often that Chat Noir uses his side of the contract to get what he wants— but it’s often enough that she doesn’t strange the way her ears burn at his words. Their contract works both ways, after all— especially now that their arrangement has been changed so that they’re both obligated to one another. Her body— heart, and more— are now his, too.

“We spent the entirety of yesterday in bed—” She pouts when he curls her into him some more. She laughs at his attempt to hush her. “Chat, come on.”

“Let me spend time with you, my Lady. I’ll start begging, if I have to.”

“We have every day for the rest of our lives to be together,” She sighs, bringing her arm around him, following the lines of his strong upper back with her fingertips. Her eyes are slipping shut, willingly following through with his wish to sleep longer with her. “And… we have… work to do. The festival… is today…”

He hushes her with a purr, rubbing his nose and jaw into her hair. “Let me enjoy my witch for longer, please— we have so many chores to do before it starts tonight— but we can think about it later. Later. All of it later, I promise.”

She smiles, even as her magic starts to slow— gentle and soft pushes against his. She is a gentle current— as soft and serene as an ocean wave. “Your witch?”

“Yes, mine, thank you.” He sounds proud. Silly cat. His purring is so soothing against her ear— and, truly, it has been years since she’s taken more than one day off from all of her chores. Chat Noir can just use his magic to do all of the chores from the bed anyway, right? “You smell like me, you know.”

“Do… I?”

“Yes, finally. It took a whole day of snuggling you, but—” He sniffs. “And, no, I’m not a territorial man, truly, I’m not— but it’s so pleasing to know that you smell like me.”

“Body and soul are yours,” She barely moves her lips together to speak.

There’s a pause in their conversation just enough for her to start drifting off to sleep. The air is cold outside the blanket, she can feel it against the spot on her forearms that pokes out of their bedsheets, tracing every scar and every raised line of skin on his back— and she’s nearly completely asleep in an instant.

He sniffs again. “Although— hm— there’s another smell in the house— I just can’t figure out what it is—”

There’s a third voice in the room as the bedroom door gets pushed open, bringing more sunlight into the room. “Before you complain, I have my eyes closed, I know you humans are particular about your sleep garments being seen— are you two alive in here?”

Marinette shoots up from bed with a scream, pulling the covers higher up her bare chest. There’s sunlight everywhere— pouring over them like a sheet. “What in the— Luka?”

The world comes rushing back to her ears with noise.

Something smacks into the naga’s pinched face, and he tumbles back into the hallway simply out of whiplash. His tail follows him out, slithering against the floor with that hushing noise she’s come to recognize as the sound that nagas make— oh, Tikki— what in the world was that?

“What in the—” He curses in the hallway. “A simple yes would’ve been fine, really!”

She only registers that it’s her own pillow she’s thrown when Chat Noir’s laughter consumes him as he speaks, howling so hard that she can barely hear Luka’s curses in the hallway. He wraps an arm around her shoulder, bringing her closer, snickering into her ear. “Good job, Princess— right in the kisser. Who knew you had an arm on you? Here, use mine next.”

“Get— Chat— go and help him or something—” She makes a face at him while whispering, pushing at his— naked! Oh no!— thigh under the bedsheets, forcing him to get out of bed and get ready and deal with the naga that tends to a bruised nose. He slips out with a snicker, and Marinette tries not to squeak at the eyeful she gets of a beautiful golden backside. Oh— is that where his tail connects to his spine? Wow. “Oh, Tikki— Luka, are you okay? I’m so sorry— I didn’t mean to hurt you!”

“That makes one of us.” Chat voices as he picks through a drawer for clothes.

“Chat!”

Luka’s laughter is good-humored in the hallway. “Ah, that was you who threw it? In that case— I’m fine, I’m fine. I didn’t expect that throw from you, I’ll be honest— but I’m fine, I promise. You surprised me, that’s all.”

“I’m so sorry, oh Tikki— I’m so sorry.”

“Relax, little pearl. The pillow didn’t hurt— though I am smelling blood. I can’t look yet, so tell me: am I bleeding, kitty-cat?”

“Give me a second, I’ll make sure you start smelling blood for real,” Chat finds pants to slip on. He turns to her before going through the door— giving her a lookover from how she no doubt looks disheveled, hiding behind their bedsheets, hair completely a mess on her shoulders and pooling down to her lap. “Alright, you noodle with teeth, let’s see what the damage is before you start crying.”

Chat winks at her with a Cheshire grin, closing the door behind him, leaving Marinette to bite her lips and pat at her cheeks with a squeak and a full-on curl of her toes.

-*-

“Alright, so, why are you here again?” Chat pours out a bit of hot water into the teacup in front of the naga. There are leaves already inside of the cup from a jar that Luka’s brought along with him in the giant pouch he carries on his shoulder. It smells like dried apples— but Chat’s nose is so full of Marinette’s scent that it’s hard to smell anything except lemon and milksoap and her.

He’d been caught completely off guard with Luka showing up into the house. He hadn’t even heard him— and Luka isn’t exactly silent on floorboards when he slithers along it. He must’ve been too caught up trying to get Marinette to stop worrying.

Luka stares at him with something glinting in his blue eyes. If he cared enough, he’d try to pick at it and see what exactly it is— but it’s too early in the morning, and all he’s dreaming about is being back in Marinette’s arms again. Besides, it doesn’t take much to recognize what the look even is— Chat is many things, but he isn’t stupid. “We promised the town we would get fish for the festival.”

“Mm.”

“Since we’re the only two competent fishermen there is.”

“There are plenty of good fishermen in town.” He can’t exactly name them at the top of his head— again, it’s too early in the morning, and Marinette is warm and soft in their bed that is the size of a shoebox, and she tastes far sweeter on his tongue than the tea he’s mixing in his own cup, he’s sure of it.

“They’re good for humans, but they never have enough for the festival. So we agreed we’d help out this year.”

“When did we say that?” He pauses, putting the teapot down on the table, his eyes narrowing at a dried speck of flour from yesterday’s adventures as he tries to think of it through. He shrugs. “Anyway— I mean, that’s fine. Sure. We need food, anyway— our icebox is almost out. I’m not in any condition to go boar hunting for this festival— I’ll leave a human to do it with their arrows and knives.”

“I do smell an injury on you.” Luka tilts his head. “Where is it?”

Chat’s found his discarded sleepshirt on the couch before he’d gotten Luka to stop complaining about his nose. It’d taken a bit to persuade his arm to move in the way he wanted it to so he could fit in it— but he’d gotten it on without tearing any of the sutures in his flesh. He hasn’t made the effort to tie the front of his shirt, though— he leaves it open, letting nearly a full quarter of his tattoo show through the gap of the shirt— and makes no point to hide it.

And, well— he’s not indecent, so Marinette certainly won’t berate him for it.

Aside from the fact that he doesn’t really care about human manners, and only keeps up with it to keep his witch sane— Luka himself isn’t human. He doesn’t dress like one, either— frequently sporting shirts and jackets with necklines that dip extremely low to the sternum— naga fashion is much less conservative.

It probably has something to do with the lack of legs— but it’s more likely that, since they spend most of their time swimming, there’s no point in using garments.

Regardless, whenever Luka around humans for a long period of the day, Chat Noir finds that the naga covers his upper body with long panels of shirts that almost look like dresses. Covered from neck down to not alarm humans with so much showing skin— the robes are covered with pearls along the sleeves.

But for the majority of times, Luka wears just a jacket, hiding away his upper arms with silk fabric rolled up to below elbow— holding together the jacket shut with a simple colored sash at where his hips should be, if he had legs.

There’s almost never a shirt underneath the jacket whenever he wears it.

Why does Chat Noir have to hide behind a well-maintained shirt when Luka doesn’t?

“Shoulder and bicep. My wounds are from teeth,” Chat says simply, sitting down and trying his best not to wince at his arm underneath his nightshirt.

“Not a coupling injury, is it?” Ah, there’s that sparkle in Luka’s eyes again. “Who would’ve guessed the little pearl is a biter?”

“Don’t—” His ears twitch heavy to the sides, trying to gauge if Marinette’s heard him. His witch is still in the bedroom, humming away to herself— he relaxes when he’s certain she hasn’t heard, but hisses anyway in his direction. “Shut up, Luka. Pretend you don’t know what we were up to— pretend that your nose isn’t that sensitive— Marinette will freak if she finds out you can smell that. The last thing I need is for you to send her into a panic.”

Ridiculous naga man. The only person on Earth who has a sense of smell as well as him— it just had to be him. If Luka was any less strong, Chat Noir is certain he would’ve already skinned him into a lovely shawl from all the trouble he keeps trying to cause. He just keeps trying to worm his way into scandals, it seems.

“Silent like a grave,” But that smile on Luka’s face is teasing enough— flashing the sides of his fangs. “So, then, what’s with the salve on your arm, if not her?”

“My father.” Isn’t exactly the best explanation, given that no one exactly believes that his father is the king of hell— it’s just part of the job description at this point, to be disappointed in his friend’s ability to believe in his words. Only Alya believes him— though he suspects it’s most likely because his stories sound more like spectacles and tall-tales than actual memories. “I won. But that means that my arm is torn to shit— so I’m good with not hunting boars for a little while.”

Luka hums into his cup in agreement, settling back onto his coils. It always sounds like it’s raining whenever Luka moves on the hardwood floors of the cottage— it makes his ears twitch. “Boars aren’t fun, are they? My scales are difficult for their tusks, but they just don’t stay still the way that eels do when I’ve got them— their hooves dig into whatever they get. Nasty little animals.”

“Quite boring, aren’t they?” He tries not to trip over the snake coil that makes its way from underneath the table to reach and pull at his ankle in retaliation for his joke. Luka’s blue and turquoise tail just ends up being everywhere in the house whenever he’s in it— he could be on the other side of the cottage and he’d still find a way to trip over a well-placed coil. “When’s the last time you molted?”

“How bold, Chat— you know that’s a personal thing to ask,” Luka doesn’t look upset. It’s hard to actually get him angry— Chat’s certain he’s never actually seen it. Everything seems to come easy for this man. “Only family and lovers get to ask questions such as intimate as that. Which one are you, kitty-cat?”

“Neither. I’m your worst nightmare,” Chat bats back. He needs more sugar in his tea. “I’m simply asking because your scales look fresh.”

“You noticed?” The naga perks up.

He agrees with a hum. “I just ask because it’ll be stupid for us to go hunting for boars if you look that clean— your scales might get injured.”

Luka looks proud, the stupid bastard. “I shed last week for the festival. I need to be on my best behavior, and of course look my best, if I’m going to get any favors or flowers. Some of us aren’t as lucky as you two in the love department, I’m afraid, and you know it’s important for suitors to notice how shiny our tails are. Looks like I’ve done my job well if you’ve picked up on it.”

It’s bait. He knows it’s bait— so he does the wise thing for once in his life and ignores it. “What time is it?”

“It’s late. Far too late for an early riser as you.”

He wipes at his eyes, because if he doesn’t keep them busy, they’ll be busy grappling with Luka— it’s on sight for the both of them, really— but it’s too early in the morning for that. He’ll give himself at least an hour of being properly awake before getting into wrestling matches with the naga. He’s a good host. He’s a good host. “I was preoccupied.”

“Oh, I’m sure.” Luka laughs. “I could tell that with the scent alone. I nearly completely lost Marinette’s scent the moment I opened that door.”

“On with the important question, then: did you have to enter the bedroom?”

“My eyes were closed.”

“What if Marinette wasn’t decent?”

“She wasn’t,” Luka says simply, like he can’t tell that his words make Chat’s tail twitch. He takes another sip from his cup— the slow kind that is noisier than a regular sip— it’s enough to drive Chat’s ears crazy from the sharpness of the noise. Something flickers through Luka’s face as he places his cup back on the saucer, and reaches for the sugar to spoon some more in. “I kind of figured she wasn’t with the way she screamed.”

He narrows his eyes. “Why did you enter the house without knocking?”

“Easy, sweet kitty-cat. I know that you’re not actually angry with me, so let’s cut the grievances and stop pretending.” Luka laughs when Chat sinks into his chair with a huff. “I did knock. Lots. Your hens were getting restless inside their coup from not being let out on time— I collected your eggs for you. Took a couple for myself as payment— they’re delicious, by the way. You don’t make it a habit to forget your chores.”

“I wasn’t forgetting. I was just busy.”

“I came in to make sure you two were okay.” Luka leans into an open palm, his smile friendly and open. Almost languid— the cheeky bastard, his eyes glittering with flecks of gold as he continues to tease. “I’d knocked on your door previously with no answer.”

“Busy.”

“Forgive me for worrying,” Luka’s laughter is gentle. “The next time it happens, I’ll wait outside until you’re done snogging. And other things. Truly, have you seen your hair in the mirror? You look like an imported rug that’s taken a beating— what in the world has the little witch done to you?”

Chat matches him by resting his jaw on his own hand, mirroring each other across the table. “I’m sure my hair doesn’t look that bad.”

“You’re right. It usually looks worse when I’m done with you,” His eyes spark full to gold— molten lava for eyes with thin slitted pupils— but retreat back to a calm and natural blue when they both hear the bedroom door pull open.

His eyes flicker in Marinette’s direction as she walks into the kitchen with a worried look on her face. She’s laced herself into her stays— gone through with putting on all those petticoats and her over skirt that culminates in making her waist looking proportionately tiny compared to the fullness of her hips. He hopes she isn’t in pain— he’s not sure, but he could’ve sworn that earlier this morning he saw a dark spot at her left hip the size of his fingerprints— and hopes that he’d been gentle enough so that whatever pain she suffers now doesn’t continue for the rest of the day.

He’s a mixture of guilt from hurting her that way— and proud to know that there’s a mark he left behind underneath all those layers of clothes.

She hasn’t put on a jacket of some kind to hide the long chest panel of her shift— or the top of her stays— she’s probably lost the pin again that closes the jacket, and is on the hunt for it. As such, parts of her pale decolletage is completely visible under her hair as she continues to brush through the long strands with her fingers. She goes through the motion of quickly lacing her hair back into a loose side braid— tying her hair off at the waist with a pretty ribbon— and gets to work, getting close enough to Luka to lean over to him to look at his face with care.

“Good morning, pearlescent little witch— don’t you look glowing this morning?”

Chat kicks at the coil closest to him. Luka barely blinks at the pain as he continues to smile at Marinette.

Her face brightens enough to mimic the sun as she continues to look him over. “How’s your nose, Luka? Not injured, is it?”

“I’m fine!” Luka waves her off with a smile. “It takes a lot more than a sack of cotton to break a bone in my body. I’d be in trouble if it was that easy— there are far more chances to break one of my bones than there is to break a human’s.”

Marinette isn’t paying attention. She’s busy studying Luka’s nose— Chat can tell just by her body language alone.

She nods regardless of not paying attention, reaching for the naga’s face to check for any signs of damage as if she doesn’t believe him. Luka stills in her hands— barely breathing, as if he’s afraid it’ll startle her. Chat Noir can whine and moan about Luka, but he knows for certain that the naga takes gentle care in not hurting or scaring the little witch. He has never laid a finger on her— Marinette has no idea just how strong he is. “I guess you’re alright. No bleeding, yes? No loss of sight?”

“The only lost I get is when I’m looking in your eyes.”

Marinette’s laughter twinkles in the air.

Chat perks up from his teacup, an idea brewing in his head. “Actually, Princess, I think he potentially is in need of salve.”

“Oh, does he?” She bites her lip, turning back to him. “We have a bit more, I just wonder where I put the bottle—”

“No, ‘he’ does not,” Luka’s eyes flicker gold when they make eye contact. There’s a coil around his ankle, now— and a gentle pull as a humorous warning. “Your familiar is lying to you, little pearl.”

She laughs into a full smile of her own, completely unaware that Chat is trying to shift his legs out of the slow, constrictive nature of the naga’s tail. He’s not sure he can feel his ankle anymore. “My familiar has told me that he doesn’t make it into a habit of lying to me— in fact, he’s promised me two nights ago not to lie anymore.”

“How sweet of him to promise you such an important thing— if only your familiar was as dulcet with me as he is with you— although I don’t mind the aggression. It’s always funner that way, isn’t it, kitty-cat?” Luka sighs, settling deep into his coils as Marinette turns to sit on the other side of the table. Chat has a foot ready for another kick in case Luka makes the comment that he knows is at the tip of his forked tongue— he can tell by the way Luka’s eyes continue to glitter. “Such a passionate man he is, Marinette. Always do love rolling on the ground with him, wouldn’t you agree?”

“Thinking that someone is in need of treatment is hardly a lie,” He’s grateful that Luka’s silent when Chat kicks him again— barely even flinching into his cup as he sips from it. Chat’s eyes follow the way his witch sits down in her chair, spying for any sign of physical discomfort. “Though if you’re truly that desperate for an injury, I’ll be happy to help.”

“No, no—” Marinette sighs as she pours her own cup. “Please, a truce between you two for at minimum the remainder of this morning.”

“The morning has already passed, my pearl.” Luka interrupts her wishes for bread.

“What time is it?” Her brows furrow, eyes widening in alarm.

“It’s afternoon by now. Were you planning on something this morning?” Luka’s completely neutral as he leans into his elbow again— but Chat can see the gold starting to surface in his eyes. “What in the world kept you two up so late?”

Bait. Bait. There’s no point in kicking at him— Marinette must know at this point what he’s talking about. What in the world is their excuse? Does Marinette mind telling people that they’re together now? Is she okay with telling people that they were caught in bed?

“Chat Noir got into a bit of a fight with an animal in the forest two days ago,” Marinette doesn’t even blink as she mixes something into her cup. He’s not sure when she managed to drop a few more leaves into her cup— but they’re there now, and turn the liquid a dark red. “Came home with a nasty bite. Cried the entire time I stitched him back up— it took us forever. I’ve had to keep cleaning it every couple of hours because he keeps opening the stitches back up. I’m exhausted— he’s kept me up all night.”

Chat has the urge to stick his tongue out in Luka’s direction when they make eye contact, but squashes it down immediately when there’s a coil ensnaring his foot again. He can tell that the naga is impressed by her complete and total loyalty to Chat Noir in order to lie— there’s gold still flickering in Luka’s eyes as a slow smile creeps along his face, turning completely towards her. “Is that so?”

“He’s a squirmer,” She smiles as she takes a sip. Her tea smells bitter— he doesn’t envy the face she pulls in the slightest— placing her teacup down onto the table with a poorly concealed flinch. “And terrified of needles.”

“I’m not afraid of needles,” Chat rolls his eyes.

“Well, between your phobia of anything medical, and all of the kissing we did last night, it’s a miracle I was able to get any sutures into your skin.” Ah. There’s the coy and confident Marinette he sees glimpses of. Chat tries not to narrow his eyes at her as she makes eye contact with him— a playful glint in her eyes.

“He did say he was rather occupied with something,” Luka lifts a clawed finger up to his chin as if he’s thinking— but breaks into a grin when Chat’s back of his paw makes contact with the fleshy underside of his tail. There’s not nearly as much protection on the undercarriage as there is on the top side— he can see it in the way Luka’s eyes squint with a flinch. “I’m sorry to cut your breakfast short, little pearl, but I’m going to be borrowing your familiar for the remainder of the afternoon. That’s doable, right?”

She makes a noise of surprise. “What for?”

“We promised the village we’d bring fish for the celebrations tonight,” Chat rubs at his eyes again.

“You’re in no condition to fish with that arm,” She muses. “You can’t have both. Either you two behave and actually fish, or finish playing footsies with one another outside— but I’m not washing your clothes if they get dirty. You’re both on your own for that one.”

“Always so considerate of us, pearlescent witch—” Luka struggles not to grin when Chat pulls at his arm to start getting away from the table. “Alya should be here any moment now to collect you. You have your own duties for the festival, you know— and I will hope you don’t skimp out on those flowers you promised.”

“Come back soon, the both of you?” She waves him off with a smile, pressing a kiss to Chat’s cheek when he comes close enough. “Behave. Don’t get any more injured, kitty-cat.”

He’ll try.

[coffeebanana]

Sorry not sorry to all the people who subscribe to my Ao3 purely for love square content because July is not for you.

[jennagrinsoverml]

Do you have any recs for the reversed lovesquare? So like Ladybug likes Chat, Adrien likes Mari?

I honestly don't tend to read a lot of reverse love square. I'm not a fan of the life-swap and personality-swap tropes I often see if paired with, so I steer clear of those. I have come across a few amazing fics, however, so without further ado:

Cards Against Ladybug's Identity by @coffeebanana

A game of Cards Against Humanity and a little too much vodka on her eighteenth birthday results in Marinette spilling a few too many secrets. And maybe Adrien has a couple confessions of his own if he can work up the nerve.

Season 4 spoilers (Mostly Gang of Secrets, Optigami).

One-shot. This is one where they've fallen for the other sides of each other. Also, it's HILARIOUS. From the moment Alya plays her card, I was cracking up, and I didn't stop as it got more and more ridiculous lmao. They're all (except Alya really lol) just so dumb and it's fantastic and amazing and there's an identity reveal and just read it!

be your july by Reiaji

Two years after leaving home, Adrien has a room, a loving found family, and a thankless job with Audrey Bourgeois, the only figure in fashion with enough clout to bypass his father’s blacklisting.

He also has a zero percent success rate when it comes to courting Marinette Dupain-Cheng, Audrey’s relentlessly brilliant protégé.

With two miraculouses in the mix, it all gets a little complicated.

Multi-chapter. This fic is a canon divergence where Marinette went to New York in Style Queen and Adrien leaves home/Gabriel when he's legally able. This is after she's returned and they're both adults here. The love square has always been reversed, and each chapter focuses on a different side of the new square, showing how these changes have impacted the different dynamics. It's absolutely gorgeous, and the way Adrien is so earnest and heartbreakingly insecure shapes the story and hurts in the best way. Also the identity hijinks asdfghjkl

tell me something i don't know by @carpisuns​

Do you think it still means something? To love someone, even if the universe said you had to?

The odds of having a soulmate are about negative one billion (or something like that). But somehow, like they always have, Marinette and Chat Noir find themselves together. They’re ready to finally tell each other everything, but it turns out that even soulmates have to keep secrets, and they can only be together if they vow never to touch.

Multichapter. Warning: this is a WIP! But it’s SO GOOD and SO CLOSE to being finished. This is set an indeterminate amount of time in the future, and though it focuses on Marinette’s feelings for Chat, and Adrien’s feelings for Marinette, it’s more of an expansion of the love square than a true reversal, and it hits on all of the different dynamics. I’m obsessed with this one and try to read the updates as soon as they’re posted.

I Would Give You Some Violets by @mikauzoran

She loves me a little...a lot...madly...not at all. Chat can never be sure with Marinette, and while she says she has a crush on someone else, there are times when he can't help but believe that she returns his feelings. If only he could gather the courage to reach out...

A series of interconnected Marichat drabbles.

Multi-chapter. So my absolute, absolute favourite trope of all time is mutual pining. And this fic has AMAZING mutual pining. I felt like I was going to explode as I was reading it, which is something I look for in a fic lol Aside from the delicious tension between them, there's also really great explorations of parental relationships, especially Adrien's relationship with Sabine.

balancing act by @fictionalinfinity

“Besides, being Ladybug always came first. It came before school, friends, and sometimes even family. Now it had to come before her health. Marinette had a duty to Paris. She wouldn’t let them down.”

Or, being both Ladybug and the Guardian starts to take its toll on Marinette.

-

the epilepsy au literally no one asked for

Multi-chapter. Oooh boy. A fic where Marinette has epilepsy and the symptoms are woven into the existing canon in such a believable and organic way. The characterizations are AMAZING, and the conflict is just so completely believable and absolutely heart-wrenching. This starts out with traditional love square post-season 3, and then we slowly get to watch the reversal happen.

All fics under cut.

In Pursuit Of | T | 1210 | 1/1 | Chlogami | Miracle Queen fix-it | @miraculousfanworks Feb 2020 event | 2/6/2020

Chloé isn’t the type of person Kagami would normally bother with; she would (metaphorically) throw Chloé aside if Kagami really knew her.

kill ‘em with a kiss | T | 1471 | 1/1 | Lilanette | Canon Divergence | 2/25/2020

Marinette wants to play? Lila knows the game better than anyone. Marinette will go down. It’s only a matter of when.

Tracing Names | T | 1015 | 1/1 | Alyanette | Dystopia AU | 5/2/2020

Taking the time to grieve, at last.

where the lightning splits the sea | T | 1285 | 1/10 | Lilagami | sci-fi/dystopia | MLF Oct 2020 event | 10/20/2020

It's 2028, and climate change has irrevocably affected Earth.

The first hurricane to hit in Parisian history is here, and not everyone is prepared for the storm.

And of course, there are people lurking in the background -- waiting to take advantage of it.

testament inscribed in sand | T | 1653 | 1/1 | Marigami | grief | MLF Anniversary giveaway | 12/6/2020

Kagami knows love will be her ruin, and grief will be Marinette's.

stuck fixated on one star | T | 1005 | 1/1 | Marigami | post-Adrigami breakup | Spin the Record challenge | 1/31/2021

It's reckless at best and dangerous at worst. Kagami does it anyway.

starry nights and a light sky | T | 19794 | 1/1 | Auroreille | canon-compliant slow(ish) burn | Femslash February | 2/27/2021

Aurore has always wanted to be a meteorologist. So, when the competition comes, she's practically a shoo-in in her mind - but then Mireille comes along, and everything turns around.

the song stuck in my head (every song i’ll ever love) | T | 777 | 1/1 | Julerose | Getting Together | MLF Tumblr 500 ficlet | 3/18/2021

Juleka doesn't listen to lyrics enough.

Shooting Straight | G | 598 | 1/1 | Marigami | Archery | MLF Tumblr 500 ficlet | 4/6/2021

In which the knowledge of: a) Kagami doing archery b) my learnings from summer camp/Scouts c) the definition of "switching targets", taken approximately too literally

combines to form a ficlet.

shuffling the cards of our game | T | 4050 | 1/1 | Lilanette | Star Wars AU | Lilanette Week | 6/22/2021

Really, they should never have been rivals in the first place with such similar views on the world.

Through It All | T | 16177 | 28/29 | Auroreille | akuma attack | MLF Snippet July | 7/30/2021

Aurore and Mireille are zapped by an akuma that takes them through some doors.

taking the plunge | G | 1362 | 1/1 | Julenette | Canon Divergence | 9/4/2021

Juleka's liked Marinette for a long time. And even though Marinette liked her brother first, Juleka manages to find herself stumbling into a relationship with Marinette anyways.

strike up the band (and kiss me) | G | 1023 | 1/1 | Marigami | Fluff | 11/30/2021

Marinette really wants to kiss Kagami. Luckily, Kagami also really wants to kiss Marinette.

your magical mystery ride | T | 1134 | 1/1 | Julenette | Magic AU | Julenette Week 2021 | 12/6/2021

Ladybug nearly falls into the water before Juleka can open the window.

what’s so amazing that keeps us stargazing (someday we’ll find it) | G | 2097 | 1/1 | Julenette | Marichat tropes but it’s Purple Tigress | 12/19/2021

Marinette doesn't know what she wants, but Tigresse keeps visiting her.

Or: how to fall in love, or at least something close to it, in three weeks.

risen with healing in her wings | G | 3074 | 1/1 | Marigami | Holiday Party | MLF Secret Santa | 12/23/2021

The hero holiday party presents many issues, especially when Ladybug and Ryuuko are under it together.

moving on (moving closer) | T | 2293 | 1/1 | Marigami | Injury Recovery | 1/30/2022

When Marinette collapses in the middle of battle, Kagami rushes to her aid. Despite the fact that they were fighting before.

i wish things were different | T | 1259 | 1/1 | Julealya | Divergence from Rocketear | ML Femslash February & Purple Noir Week 2022 | 2/1/2022

In which Alya and Nino break up, and Juleka's presented with an opportunity.

a marriage of cultures | T | 3249 | 1/1 | Marigami | Wedding | ML Femslash February & MLBCNY | 2/3/2022

When planning a wedding, there are usually several road blocks. Some of them are easy to anticipate, like whether Marinette's capable of finishing the outfits in time. Others are harder, like Tomoe's disapproval of the wedding's structure.

what’s your (true) name? | G | 1543 | 1/1 | Feizoe | Fantasy AU | ML Femslash February & MLF Rarepair Month & MLBCNY | 2/7/2022

Inhuman is not an insult. Far from it, in fact.

been picking up the pieces of our hearts | G | 1036 | 1/1 | Alyanette | ML Femslash February | 2/10/2022

Alya and Marinette talk out their issues, and do more than just talk.

sweet summer | T | 1004 | 1/1 | Zoenette | ML Femslash February | 2/17/2022

Zoé flies to Paris for the summer, and meets someone new.

meet me in the pouring rain | T | 1009 | 1/1 | Marilene | MLF Rarepair Month | 2/19/2022

evidence you want me | T | 1260 | 1/1 | Lilalya | MLF Rarepair Month | 2/20/2022

The Plan(TM) (re: Mikau’s WIPs) 2: Electric Boogaloo

Hi, guys. Time for another status update. ^.^ 

I’m wrapping up my Lukadrien June 2021 piece Your Hands Hold Home right now, so I should be on track to post the final chapter of that on 06/30/2021.

Below is a list of other projects I plan on working on in the coming months. Let me know what sounds interesting or what you’re excited for.

Le Carnaval: (various pairings and platonic interactions) So, @miraculousfanworks is doing Snippet July. There are prompts for each day, and the stories/chapters for each prompt have to be one thousand words or less. I recently made a post requesting pairings, and I’m going to use the pairing prompts I received from you guys and the Snippet July prompts to create a collection of short stories featuring various romantic pairings and platonic interactions between characters.

Zebras Can’t Change Their Stripes: (Lukadrien) After four years, Adrien is back in Paris, broke, and ready to try to reconnect with friends and get his life back on track. Meanwhile, Luka is going through a breakup and struggling not to be a total wreck. They’ve grown and changed, but they’re still the same people underneath it all. As they try to pick up where they left off, they support one another, and their friendship slowly grows into something more.

So, this one is on hiatus while I do Lukadrien June. I have some days off scheduled at the beginning of July, so I hope to finish writing this then and resume posting in July. I just have two-ish chapters left. I really want to do Snippet July, though, so Zebras might get pushed back a little more while I work on that. ^.^; Sorry in advance! Thanks for your patience.

Marichat May: In April, I made a post asking you guys to pick Marichat May prompts for me to combine into a single story. I still plan on doing that story. It’s just taking longer than anticipated for me to get around to it. XD

Plagg and Wayzz Prompt: (Lady Noir) I got a comment on one of my stories that said, “Can you do a top wayzz bottom plagg one? Preferably in universe and in human form. Doesn’t have to be smut.” First I thought, “What the bloody hell?” because it was a comment on a Lukadrien story, and that’s all it said, and I thought, “Well, that’s random.” I’ve never really written Wayzz before, but this gave me the idea for a story where the team is up against an akuma that somehow separates them from their kwamis, leaving the heroes unable to detransform and the kwamis in defenseless human form. What I came up with really doesn’t have anything to do with the prompt other than Plagg and Wayzz will both be in human form. It will probably just end up being a Lady Noir identity reveal piece, honestly.

Adrien Trapped in AU-Land: (Adrienette, canon universe featuring AUs) My idea is based off of a writing prompt submitted by @graaythekwami on the @miraculousfanworks Discord server: AU where all the characters wake up in a different AU every chapter, fully remembering what happened in the last AU. My idea is for Chat Noir to get hit by an akuma (probably named Escapist or something equally dumb ^.^) who traps Adrien in a series of alternate realities (AUs) until he realizes his feelings for Marinette and manages to break free.

Adrienette Hanahaki: A while ago I did an ask game about a trope I’d like to try writing, and the one I came up with was Adrien with Hanahaki disease (The one where you start coughing up flower petals due to unrequited love making flowers grow inside your lungs). I’ve been thinking about it, and I’ve decided I’d like to actually write this story. My basic outline is: Adrien starts showing symptoms, and Gabriel badgers him about whom he’s in love with, and Adrien just blurts out, “Marinette!” And Gabriel threatens Marinette into dating Adrien, and they start fake dating but then fall in love.

L’Amour de Loin: (Lukadrien, post-Papillon defeat, Félix wingman) I did a sneak peek for this here. Adrien is living in London with his aunt and cousin three years after Papillon’s defeat and arrest. He’s in rough shape and hasn’t kept in touch with anyone from Paris. One day, he gets a text from Luka out of the blue, and they rekindle their friendship. Félix acts as wingman to ensure that it turns into something more.

Happenstance and Magic: Marichat May 2019. Marinette and Chat Noir adopt kittens together, and Adrien tries to get Marinette to see that he’s not perfect but still a worthwhile person deserving of her love.

I’ve been thinking about this one, and I think I’m going to cut the number of prompts I actually use. Once I’m done with the other stories, I want to sit down and make a more thorough outline of what I want the story to be and which prompts I’m going to use to get me there.

The Seduction of Adrien Agreste: This is part of the Springtime in Wonderland (Daisy/Jabberwocky) series. It deals with Luka and Adrien experimenting with physical intimacy to see if they can reach a compromise where Luka and (asexual) Adrien are both comfortable and have their needs met.

Things Currently on the Backburner:

The Rejects Club: Predominantly Marichat with Adrienette. Chat Noir and Marinette unexpectedly grow very close very fast as they open up to one another after Marinette overhears Adrien seemingly dismissing her as a romantic prospect. Identity shenanigans at farcical levels ensue.

I can’t really deal with Rejects right now. I’m feeling super overwhelmed by basic life stuff, so I don’t really have the mental or emotional energy to put into a story where I don’t know how many more chapters there will be until the end. I’m thinking that what I have planned will take at least another one or two hundred thousand words. This thing is just so massive, and I’m not in good enough mental heath to deal with it right now.

Springtime in Wonderland: Yeah, no. See the paragraph directly above. I was already having trouble with my mental health in 2019, and 2020 took a sledgehammer to my already frail state. This story is another one that’s going to take another couple hundred thousand words to complete, and I just don’t have the stamina in me right now. I’d rather focus on smaller projects that actually feel attainable. I’m trying not to burn myself out.

That’s what I have for now. There are a couple other ideas I’m toying with, so you may see a couple one-shots not listed here. I just don’t want to formally commit to writing anything else at the moment. So. Is there anything that you’re particularly interested in? Let me know what you’re thinking.

Thoughts? Feelings? Suggestions? Opinions? ^.^

My shipyard - post version

The following is a post version of my subpage, since apparently, on mobile they cannot be accessed (because why would they, it’s tumblr...). Always refer to that page for the latest updates.  

This is a collection of ships I ship (English is a wonderful language…), listed by the show they’re from.

Bold ships indicate pairings I not only ship, but I have written for in the past (i.e. I have put words in sentences, and then mixed those sentences to create what some people insist on calling “stories”)

Italicised ships are those ships I haven’t written for, and I would like to, if someone, say, requests it when I open the prompt floodgates.

Regular ships are, well, regular. I don’t plan on writing for them, but I do let out the tiniest of “aww”, when I see them.

If a ship doesn’t exist on this list, that doesn’t mean I don’t ship them - I might have forgotten about it. I do not ship incestuous ships at all.

This case is a bit different here: while I certainly enjoy the games, I have stopped watching the anime a loooong time ago, and only caught random episodes here or there. So, while I could attempt, say, write Pokeshipping, I would need to BS my way around various plotpoints or so (the again, Ash seems to be immortal, so nothing really develops). I’d be much more willing to try some game-verse stuff, like ships between protagonists, or protagonist/gym leader, etc. If you are curious, just ask :)  

[sariahsue]

I’m taking requests!

Edit: Closed for now, but will be reopened at a later date!

     Guess what, you guys?  I have 333 followers!  AH!

     In honor of this milestone, I’m going to try to write some 3-paragraph stories short drabbles.  Please pick your favorite side of the love square and one of the prompts, and send me a message or an ask.  

     My ask box is open to anons.  You don’t have to be a follower to request.  :)

Fulfilled requests:   Accidental reveal - Marichat Identity slip-up- Adrienette Comfort- Marichat Gabriel’s reaction- Marichat Andre’s ice cream - Ladrien Nightmares - Ladynoir Love - Ladrien Reveal - Marichat Consensual kidnapping - Ladrien  Possessive kitty - Marichat Holding hands - Adrinette I need to transform, but you won’t leave - Marichat Injured - Ladrien Soulmates - Adrienette Unexpected reveal - Ladynoir First kiss - Adrienette

Prompts have been removed because requests are now closed.  I will reopen them at a later date!

   I’ll add the links to the stories I write here, so this’ll act like a master list eventually.  Depending on how many requests I get, I might close requests for a while and then reopen them. 

     No, I’m not going to be doing something for getting 666 followers.  Haha.  I probably do an “ask me” for 500, though. 

    If I get two people requesting the same prompt with a different pairing, I’ll pick the pairing that’s had the fewest requests overall, to try and keep it balanced.

    I saw this idea ages ago and thought would be fun, but also might fail horribly.  XD  We’ll see.  It might become three-ish long paragraphs per prompt.  They probably won’t be super edited, like most of my stuff usually is.  (Update: they’re just short drabbles.  I completely gave up on trying to fit them into three paragraphs.)

     Prompts were all absolutely stolen from the past Fluff Month/Ladynoir July/Adrienette April/DJWifi December/etc prompts.  I’m not ashamed.

can u add more to one jump ahead and sun will rise again ?

Hi! I wrote One Jump Ahead every day for a month and finished the story for Ladrien June. While I’m not saying it is impossible that I’ll go back to that universe in the future, as for now, the story is done.

The Sun Will Rise Again (Ladynoir July) is a continuation of When the Sun Met the Moon (Marichat May) and has been updated every single day in July (except for today so far). While I’m glad that you are enjoying my stories, Anonymous, I have been updating Love Square stories every day since April 1 so I would appreciate not getting requests to add more to them. Thanks. :)

Delay in “Peeping Tomcat” updates

First of all, thank you to everyone who has been reading my story and first venture into writing “Miraculous Ladybug.”

I should have posted something weeks ago, but in all honesty I didn’t think people were following my story closely enough to notice or care.

Then I started to get the reviews/PMs (mostly on FFN) asking about the latest update. Kind asks and gentle pokes. Mostly a legit review with a toss-away line of “no update this week?” or “you’re a week late” or “is there going to be an update this week?” Stuff like that.

The first week I was late on updates I put up an author’s note chapter explaining the delay. I think my readers enjoyed it, but when I replaced it with the actual chapter there was no way for people to know about the update, so I tried to avoid doing the same thing this go.

Anyway, my point is, if you are one of my readers, and you were wondering what was going on with PT, know that I AM working on the next/last chapter. I have been. I had to start from scratch on this chapter, unlike most of the rest of the story which has gone through three drafts already. The process takes a little longer.

Also, I’ve been on vacation this past week (today’s my last day of it) and surprisingly that left me with LESS time to write. Go figure....

So, thank you for the reads, the reviews, the gentle pokes to make sure I don’t abandon the story whenever I got frustrated, and for your patience as I try to give you the best closing chapter you deserve.

I’m nervous that I’m going to do it right. So I may spend a bit more time on edits to make sure it’s as perfect as I can get it on my own at this point in my writing skill.

I AM aiming to have it up by July 31st at the absolute latest. Thank you again for your patience.

Now, if you’re reading all of this and going “What is she talking about?” Feel free to jump on in and check out my story: “Peeping Tomcat” Rating: K+ Shipping: MariChat / Adrienette In theory.... 16 chapters? Current word total: 75,655

Summary:

Something called to Adrien, and before he knew it, he was addicted to sitting outside Marinette’s window as Chat Noir; just watching her. His voyeuristic habit needs to stop, but things have gotten far too complicated now that he realizes he’s growing a crush on her.

You can check it out On AO3     On FFN     or On DA

Thanks again for the rec, @chatonne-rousse​ 🥰🥰🥰 Okay, likely too late for anon, but I did promise to try to add some long fic recs. Trying to do fics 20k and longer, not series for ease of download and length of engagement. No WIPs since no wifi to check for updates. Here we go, in no particular order...

The Five Minute Adventures of Snake Noir by @kasienda​ (40k of time loops and angst and reveals that get undone only to happen again and again. The concept is amazing and there’s so much emotion and the entire fic is intense af and one of my favourites)

our hands would not be taught to hold another's by @ladyofthenoodle​ (38k of angst and relationship building and just beautiful half-reveal and then prpr goodness. It’s so, so satisfying.)

Under Agreste: The Show by @ghostlyhamburger (19k reality tv/no powers au that’s just plan fun in exactly the way you want a reality tv au to be)

A Hundred Thursdays by Midnight Musume (22k groundhog day type fic where Marinette’s stuck in a time loop...and then Adrien is. It’s so fun seeing what changes each loop based on her actions)

Echoes of You by @kittinoir​ (62k angstfest of Adrien dealing with the aftermath of Ladybug giving up the miracle box and disappearing and it hurts but it’s so good. There’s also a WIP sequel!)

be your july by Reiaji  (20k of a gorgeous life swap and reverse crush type of au that’s so much more than that and the piiiiiining damn near killed me)

balancing act by @fictionalinfinity​ (27k epilepsy au where the author weaves the symptoms into the existing canon flawlessly and Marinette and Adrien are both so perfectly in character and the conflict follows so naturally)

The Open Line by @sariahsue​ (43k of gorgeous post-Oblivio ladynoir with one of my favourite demonstrations of a developing relationship ever. We get pining and hurt and conflict and love and fluff all mixed together beautifully)

tell me something i don't know by @carpisuns​ (121k of marichat soulmate au where the love square isn’t so much reversed as expanded and all of the different dynamics are highlighted and explored and even though they’re soulmates, there’s angst and pining that is 100% earned)

Chasing the C/h/atwalk. by @runningoutofink (112k Project Runway au that’s actually set in universe which is my favourite type of reality tv fic. Marinette’s competing on Project Runway and Adrien’s assigned as her model. The UST damn near killed me...thankfully there’s an E-rated sequel that helped!)

Hi! I'm wondering if you have any good fic recommendations you could share? I'm going somewhere where I'm going to have a lot of potential reading time today and I'd love a good long fic(i won't have wifi & i find that format easier to download.)! I'm a bit of a fussy reader, so if you do rec me something and I don't read it, it's not personal! But you're such a good author; I trust your judgement! Thank you! ♡ (Let me know if you want me to tell you my fave tropes or anything!)

Hey Nonny! I love that you sent me this ask, but I'm not the best at recs (that would be @jennagrinsoverml - check out her blog for rec lists galore!) even though I read ML fics constantly. I just never know what someone else might like!

So I'll start first with two of my BFFs, whose entire fic collections are evergreen - if you're looking for nice long stories to get you through your day, I'll suggest @tsuki-chibi's Fruitful series and @jennagrinsoverml's The Closest Thing to Love.

Some other longer fics I can think of off the top of my head that I loved are:

Forging Our Own Ending by RyleeSheep

One Night of Moonlight by calloffyourethics

Ping by meeble

All That Jazz by @midnightstarlightwrites

And two that I can't leave off any list:

Clairvoyance by @whatarubberchicken - one of my favorite fics of all time, which will live rent-free forever in my heart.

œuf ouch owie by @ominousunflower, the fic I read when I need a laugh, because it's one of the funniest things I've ever read in my life.

I hope this helps a little, Nonny-friend! It's by no means a complete list, just something I cobbled together quickly from my memory and a quick scan of my Ao3 bookmarks.

Have fun reading tomorrow! (Oh, and feel free to let me know your favorite tropes sometime. Maybe I can add to this list.)

Update on Fics

If anyone’s wondering, I currently have three in-progress Miraculous Ladybug fics:

1. A one-shot for Lukadrien June, Day 20 (Soulmates) - I’m running a little late on this one because it ended up being longer than intended, but it should be up on AO3 by the 25th.

2. A multi-chapter (~30,000 word) Marichat fic - I keep getting distracted from this one, but I anticipate having it done by the end of the month.

3. A one-shot hurt/comfort Lukadrien fic  - This should go up sometime in early July, though be warned--it’s got some heavier stuff in it, so it might not be suitable for everyone.

And as usual, thank you to anyone who takes the time to read my fics!

My shipyard - post form

So it has come to my attention, thanks to @gingersnapdragonspice that subpages on one’s blog do not work properly on mobile (I’d rather let someone castrate me with a dull knife than to use tumblr on mobile, so I can’t check it properly). 

And so, here is my Shipyard, a collection of ships I ships (I love how flexible English can be). This is a post version of this subpage, and of course I’ll try to update it accordingly. Long post below Read more:

Bold ships indicate pairings I not only ship, but I have written for in the past (i.e. I have put words in sentences, and then mixed those sentences to create what some people insist on calling “stories”)

Italicised ships are those ships I haven’t written for, and I would like to, if someone, say, requests it when I open the prompt floodgates.

Regular ships are, well, regular. I don’t plan on writing for them, but I do let out the tiniest of “aww”, when I see them.

If a ship doesn’t exist on this list, that doesn’t mean I don’t ship them - I might have forgotten about it. I do not ship incestuous ships at all.

This case is a bit different here: while I certainly enjoy the games, I have stopped watching the anime a loooong time ago, and only caught random episodes here or there. So, while I could attempt, say, write Pokeshipping, I would need to BS my way around various plotpoints or so (the again, Ash seems to be immortal, so nothing really develops). I’d be much more willing to try some game-verse stuff, like ships between protagonists, or protagonist/gym leader, etc.
