Quick doodle in tribute to @uptoolateart's fic "Finding a Way!" I really enjoyed it and wanted to at least scribble something. I figure Plagg has enough tact not to bring it up in front of the kids after what they've been through, but I totally think he'd tell Tikki.

Gabriel is crazy. 😅
He could kill Marinette too.
Poisoned Pancakes:
They laughed at him before – but never again. This time, Gabriel was going to prove them all wrong. This time, he was going to make pancakes to die for.
He’d carefully studied the recipe. He’d researched each and every ingredient. He knew the difference between bicarbonate of soda and baking powder. And he understood abbreviations for teaspoon versus tablespoon.
He’d done his pancake preparation.
Humming to himself, he ladled the mixture into the frying pan – a sweet melody Emilie used to love and sing to Adrien as a child. As the batter sizzled, the humming turned into words. The edges of the pancake bubbled, and the words gained volume. He gave the pancake what he liked to think was an expert flip, did a sexy little twirl, and belted out the song, using his spatula as a microphone.
His mood was nothing short of ecstatic, his mind an orgy of pancake praise they were all sure to dish out when they tasted this next batch.
‘Oh, Gabriel, these are delicious!’ Nathalie would declare, her expression orgasmic as she swallowed down the first mouthful.
‘These are the best pancakes I’ve ever tried!’ Adrien would exclaim with that brilliant smile of his. ‘I’m going to tell all my friends!’
That’s right. They all thought he couldn’t cook. Well, they would all eat their words…and his pancakes.
It was time for one of his maniacal evil villain laughs. ‘Muahaha!’
No, not quite good enough. ‘Muahahahaha!’
Hmm. He could still do better. ‘MUA – ’
The sound of the doorbell made him jump, just as he was flipping over another pancake. His hand jittered and the precious pancake went flying into the air. With a yelp, and probably an unflattering cartoonish face, he leapt for it, catching it just in time on the tip of his spatula and dropping it oh so elegantly into the pan again. Never mind that hot butter flew up into his face. He had poise.
Pancake poise.
The kitchen door opened and the Gorilla pushed his hulking head through it. ‘Mngh,’ he grunted.
Gabriel’s shoulders fell. Great. Just what he needed. Lila Rossi. ‘Okay, I’ll come out and see what she wants.’ Hmm. Maybe she’d like to taste his pancakes. Maybe she would appreciate them.
With a grin, he hurried out of the kitchen to greet his unexpected guest.

God I just read the trippiest MLB senti-Adrien fic where the original Adrien was a copy of Gabriel and Emilie’s original son by a different name that died, and then the current Adrien was a copy of the original Adrien when he was sacrificed by Gabriel’s Miraculous Wish to bring Emilie back, then in the new timeline Gabriel was the one a used the broken Miraculous to create another copy of Adrien causing him to fall into a coma and Emilie used the Miraculous Wish to bring him back, leading to the copy of Adrien being sacrificed and so on in an endless loop
All of them were copies, no one was the original, it was the most mind blowing thing I’ve ever read

Tumblr media
Had to draw art of the final chapter because oh my gosh!!!!!
Hugo’s expression is - Wtf my parents are superhero’s and also in a fight and also akuma’s are back fuck shit balls crap
Took some liberties with the adult versions of their costumes because we haven’t gotten much details yet.
Also I’m trying to be quicker with colouring because it’s my least favourite bit so things are a bit messy until I figure it out (:

2023 Adrinette Fic Rec List
It’s the end of the year which means it’s finally time for the ML Big Bang’s yearly fic rec lists! We’re really excited to bring you our contributors’ favourite fics started this year to supply you with plenty of reading material while you’re waiting for the Big Bang fics’ publication in January.
Fate, Destiny... A Hamster by @mostmagical
After finally moving into his very first apartment per Ladybug’s suggestion, Adrien discovers something no movie or TV show could have ever prepared him for: someone else's hamster. Marinette was so excited to have her first pet. If only it would stop escaping! At least now there’s an excuse to talk to the new neighbor. (Adrinette Never Met AU)
This fic is peak adrinette identity shenanigans! Adrien and Marinette star as the next door neighbors losing and finding the titular hamster, falling in love, and avoiding an identity reveal like the plague.
If I Let Myself Love You by @uptoolateart
It’s hard to be a normal girl with a normal life when your mother has terminal cancer. And when fashion model Adrien Agreste moves back to Paris and wants to be Marinette’s friend – or maybe even more – her life is turned upside down again. How can she risk opening her heart to love when her whole world is falling apart? Especially when Adrien is hiding a dark secret of his own…. - COMPLETE FIC – updates on Sundays *** No kwamis AU - 100% Adrinette. About half of it is fluffy and half heavy. Please read tags for trigger warnings. ***
It is such an incredible balance of beautiful, heart-wrenching and funny! I adored the relationship between Adrien and Marinette, how it developed throughout, how natural it was, how they both helped each other through their grief. Just beautiful.
hearth by @asukiess
Because how do you describe a dream once you wake up, when it’s fleeting and slipping through the cracks in your mind like it’s a sieve? You can barely wrap your lips around the concepts and words before you realize it has slipped through like water, and what lay in your hands is just a pang in your chest? When every moment away from it clouds your mind just a little more, until the memories are threadbare? or: Adrien understands what it means to have a home.
call it even by @sha-nwa & @anna-scribbles
After a year of dating, there is one thing Marinette knows for certain: it's her and Adrien against the world. Through it all, Adrien is kind, patient, and endlessly understanding—even as she tries her best to keep her secret superhero identity hidden from him along with the rest of the world. Nothing could ruin it, not even the supervillains of Paris: Hawkmoth and Chat Noir. (adrinette dating // ladynoir enemies au)
A really well-written Adrienette fic featuring Ladynoir as enemies.
All the Missing Pieces by @uptoolateart
At 14, Adrien stepped into the time burrow and saw the truth no one could have guessed. When he came out, he was changed forever. And after defeating his father, he was finally free...or was he? At 37, Adrien has everything he ever dreamed of – married to Marinette, three kids, the hamster – but none of it has turned out as expected. Marinette’s career is such a success that she’s never home, Hugo is an angsty difficult teenager, and Adrien is still struggling with his secret identity as a sentimonster. And now, Lila Rossi is back after more than 20 years. But has time changed her? Or is she up to her old tricks?
It's my actual life (except I'm not good looking lol), and I vouch for how WILDLY accurate its treatment of the emotional issues of stay-at-home-dad stuff. I just cannot recommend highly enough how it handles jealousy, isolation, parenting struggles, etc. Not me in the comments every chapter telling the author how she got the feels so perfectly right.
If I Let Myself Love You by @uptoolateart
It’s hard to be a normal girl with a normal life when your mother has terminal cancer. And when fashion model Adrien Agreste moves back to Paris and wants to be Marinette’s friend – or maybe even more – her life is turned upside down again. How can she risk opening her heart to love when her whole world is falling apart? Especially when Adrien is hiding a dark secret of his own…
So absolutely sweet. So emotionally devastating. Gets meta by taking advantage of how AO3 works at one point. Next level in every way. I loved the developing Adrienette friendship. I loved Marinette and her father. I loved Marinette's feelings about her sick mother. Please everyone read this fic your face will melt with emotion, and you weren't really using your face, were you?
Our Tales are Endless (That's Why I Tell Them) by joonapeach
Marinette lives a simple life - one surrounded by pretty dresses, fresh macaroons, and the calming view of Paris. It's a life she thinks she has always fit in. And yet sometimes, when a certain boy comes by her shop with a flower and a new adventurous story, she can't help but wonder if there's something else she's missing.
you don't even know me at all (but i was made for loving you) by @ladyofthenoodle
They didn’t remember each other. The hospital told them there’d been an accident—brain damage—but Alya had told them the truth, later. Who’d they’d been to each other. What they’d given up, and why. But even with their memories of each other gone, Adrien and Marinette are still inextricably tied together—by law, by their social circles, and by their hearts. And in the apartment they share, there's only one bed.
If you like amnesia AUs, angst with a happy ending, married adrinette, and only one bed scenarios, you need to read this fic! It's beautifully bittersweet and will break your heart before putting it back together.

After working with other, extremely dedicated mods on this event, I'm so STOKED to share a preview of my work for @mlbigbang2024! This year, I'm taking "courtroom drama" out for a spin, in a manner of speaking. A Twelve Angry Holders, if you will. I will begin publishing it Jan 15!
Synopsis
In The Demon Takes Two Chairs, thanks to a shift in allegiance by Nathalie Sancoeur, Ladybug's team of holders has just defeated Hawkmoth. Now they must decide what to do with Mayura, who is being held prisoner by Bunnyx in her time burrow.
But a tense standoff between Gabriel and Argos revealed that Adrien is a sentimonster.
Ladybug feels overwhelmed by all her allies’ differing opinions. She sets out to convince them that Adrien Agreste’s only remaining quasi-family should be shown leniency.
As the team (very) vigorously debates Mme Sancoeur’s fate, old wounds and grievances are re-opened.
Perhaps most painful of all is that she hasn’t seen Chat Noir in days.
The other members of my team are artists @zambiv and @supergirl9130, and @uptoolateart, who is my beta reader.
Preview
Bedsprings shifted, and Rena finally scanned the rest of the room. Ladybug sat at the edge of Adrien’s bed, destruction spiraling out around her on the ground. Had she thrown a tantrum? There were books from Adrien’s second-floor library everywhere, ripped to shreds; his desk was upturned, monitors shattered; there were cracks in the walls from what must have been Tikki-powered punches.
Her friend and hero was hunched over like a solitary cypress tree, roots clinging desperately to the cliffside, bowed over the years into submission by ceaseless oceanic gusts. Its bark weathered and pale, its leaves disheveled and grasping for any stray light peeking through the storm clouds.
Ladybug held something small in her hands, passing it from one to the other.
Rena inhaled swiftly at the sight, and muscles in her chest fluttered in anticipation of whatever support her best friend would need. As she walked to the bed, she recognized it as Adrien: The Lego, one of Gabriel’s less-inspired marketing ploys. Her friend was being so gentle with it even though it had previously been the subject of two wide-ranging tirades. Marinette was taking the news worse than Alya had expected.
“Girl, let’s sneak in and put that on the floor in Lila’s house. Then she’ll step on it and hurt her foot.”
Threatening Lila with pain usually teased a smile out of Marinette no matter how down in the dumps she was, but not this time. This wasn’t good. Rena went and sat down beside Ladybug, shoulder to shoulder, willing her body heat to envelope her friend. “Hey…”
“Why would he do this to Adrien?” she whispered.
If Rena hadn’t been right next to her, she wouldn’t have heard it. She put her arm on her friend’s back and began rubbing softly. “What do you mean?”
“Adrien told his father he didn’t want to be a model anymore, and Gabriel retaliated by creating an AR version that anyone could manipulate. Do you think there were restrictions placed on the AI? What if some horny pervert had used it to make deep fakes? Do you think Gabriel even cared?
“And then there’s this. It’s cheap, mass-produced, plastic, and can be manipulated by a child. How could he think this was a good idea? How did Adrien feel about it? It’s like all Gabriel did was focused on controlling him…”
Ladybug shot to her feet and growled, hurling the toy across the room. “There’s a mini-fridge full of fucking camembert over there! I think I’d know if he liked camembert!”
Her voice reverberated in the room, and then near-silent but for some rustling around the corner near the skate ramps. The force of the throw had probably blown a few loose book pages around.
“No!” She sprinted across the room and retrieved the toy, stroking it and clutching it to her chest like a poultice intended to heal a broken heart, leaning over so her forehead pressed against the wall.
“Adrien…” She turned to Rena and asked, “Do you think he already knew? That he’s a…” Her eyes were brimming with a hope that was already being stabbed in the back. It seemed like Ladybug couldn’t even say it out loud. 
Without pausing, she answered her own question. “Of course he didn’t. This is Gabriel we’re talking about. If Adrien didn’t know his father was Hawkmoth, he wouldn’t have known this.
“And what am I going to do about Nathalie? This is…it’s too much for me.” Ladybug stumbled beforefalling to her knees, breath becoming ragged as her chin dipped to her chest.Her hands pressed to her temples, as if to wring the anxiety from her mind. “I can’t… how do I do that alone?”
Rena’s eyes burned as her friend fell apart before her. The revelation that Adrien was a sentimonster had hit her hard, too. But Rena was furious at someone else.
Why hadn’t Felix ever told Adrien the truth? Why hadn’t he told anyone that Gabriel Agreste was Hawkmoth? That bastard had toyed with Ladybug’s emotions, stole all the Miraculous, and set Paris on a collision course with Armageddon.
She clenched her fists. Everything in this room looked like a pressure release valve. Why not throw that chair through the window? Why not torch this place? It was likely Adrien would never want to be here once they found him and told him the truth. Because she, Nino, and Marinette weren’t Felix. Adrien was their brother.
Rena Rouge walked over to Ladybug and knelt beside her. “You’re right. This is too big for Ladybug alone. But Ladybug isn’t alone. She has me. And she has Pigella. And she has Purple Tigress. And Polymouse. Carapace is ride or die. She’s got her whole secret garden of flowers here.” She lowered her voice and looked around conspiratorially. “Though I’m not sure Nino would like being compared to a flower.”
This elicited a giggle from her friend.

ML Big Bang 2024 Fic Recs
Miscellaneous
This collection of fics were recommended by the contributors of the @mlbigbang2024 for their favourite fics of 2024 (posted in between Nov 2023 and Dec 2024)
General and Teen and Up Fics
What If... Ladybug and Chat Noir had to go on a Miraculous scavenger hunt? (Rated: G)
By Booksforthelost
Tags: What-if, AU - Canon Divergence, Turtle Master Fu | Jade Turtle
Summary: When Master Fu is robbed, Ladybug and Chat Noir find themselves in a race against their enemies to recover the Miraculous.
Read on Ao3
What we liked about it: It displays what happens when nobody knows each other's secret identity but work together to stop Hawk Moth. Also, scavenger hunts are very fun!
A Swing and a Miss (and a Kiss) (Rated: T)
By @coffeebanana
Tags: PRPR, mutual pining, canon divergent
Summary: Adrien derails a game of ping-pong with a single sentence: “If I make this next point, my lady, you have to kiss me.”
Read on Ao3
What we liked about it: Just two kids being super awkward and kissy kissy meow meow.
The Terror (Rated: T)
By @gaussiansphere
Tags: psychological horror, la terreur au, using a miraculous has side effects
Summary:
Something is rotten in the city of Paris.
A general lockdown has been imposed as the entire world scrambles to make sense of the images of magic and monsters trickling out. Here, all powers have a price, whether they come from the ring on your finger or the voice in your head.
Read on Ao3
What we liked about it: Based off the Tumblr comic by @sillysiluriforme , La Terreur, of the same name but in English. Fleshing it out and adding more psychological horror. Things are bad (but it’s okay! (I think))
Meditations (Rated: T)
By @bittersweetresilience
Tags: experimental style, poetry, epistolary
Summary: Félix reflects on fathers, and on monsters, and on dying.
Read on Ao3
What we liked about it: I cry thinking about this. It’s so rare we have something so experimental in the fandom. Poetic, epistolary, reflective. It’s a treasure
The Best Worst Day Ever (Rated: G)
By @fandomofone
Tags: awkward flirting, Plagg is so done, fluff and angst
Summary:
Riding high after Hawkmoth’s latest defeat, Adrien’s promising day begins to unravel when he arrives at school and discovers that Chat Noir is apparently a laughingstock following the previous day’s fight against Malediktator- and he has no memory of it. Feeling somewhat hurt and embarrassed, Adrien questions Plagg and is shocked to learn that the source of all his woes may be… his Lady? As if that’s not bad enough, Marinette unwittingly gets roped into his miserable day, and a misunderstanding between them leaves Adrien anxious about the future of their friendship. Can this day possibly get any worse?
Well, there is still patrol duty with Ladybug to look forward to...
Read on Ao3
What we liked about it: This is a cute little Adrienette fluff piece that fits snugly between episodes! It occurs after Maledictator, and I just love the adorable idiots. 
Not Quite Right (Rated: T)
By @ladynoirfanao3
Tags: Marichat, protective Adrien Agreste | Chat Noir, identity reveal
Summary:
When Marinette wakes up one morning, she can’t help but feel that something is just a little bit… off. No one else around her seems to feel the same, however, and she is forced to shake off the strange feelings.
It proves to be more difficult than she imagined, especially when an akuma attack leaves her feeling helpless as she watches Chat Noir and Ladybug arrive on scene.
Read on Ao3
What we liked about it: It's like it's on the tip of your tongue, but you can't tell what it is
Mature and Explicit Fics
Voyage! Tales of the USS Miraculous (Rated: M)
By @uptoolateart
Tags: AU - Star Trek Fusion, But can be understood even if you don't know Star Trek, PTSD
Summary: Almost four years since the brutal battle at Wolf-359, Captain Marinette Dupain-Cheng – one of the youngest Captains in Starfleet history – has been assigned command of the USS Miraculous.
Her first mission with her new crew is to investigate a distress beacon from the most dangerous region of the Alpha Quadrant – the Neutral Zone. But what they discover is just the beginning of an exploration into the strangest world Marinette has ever visited – her own heart.
* A Star Trek crossover written to be understood even if you aren’t familiar with the Star Trek universe *
Read on Ao3
What we liked about it: Such a fun and clever crossover with Star Trek - it fits perfectly in the ST universe, and can also be read fandom-blind. The characters have such different histories but are still so clearly /them/. It's funny and cute, with a healthy dose of angst and hurt, too. There's a very interesting undercurrent of mystery, adventure, and discovery. 
Revealing Commission (Rated: E)
By @katieykat513
Tags: Aged-up, smut, identity reveal
Summary: Marinette: I'm poor! Adrien: I have money! Marinette: I can't take your money! what if I made fanart? Adrien: I can pay for fanart! Marinette: Uhhh what do you want? Adrien: NSFW ladynoir for no specific reason! Marinette: What is my life?
Read on Ao3
What we liked about it: The premise alone is enough said, but it also had some sweet fluff mixed in with the hilarity.
Mamma Mia! (Rated: M)
By @ladynoirfanao3
Tags: Cat Walker, unplanned pregnancy, aged-up, identity reveal
Summary:
When Marinette discovers she is pregnant, she is distressed to realize any of the three men she slept with in the recent past could be the father; Chat Noir, Ladybug’s partner and ex with whom she had gone through a tearful breakup - the mysterious Cat Walker, Ladybug’s rebound - or Adrien Agreste, Marinette’s current boyfriend.
But does she quickly discover all three potential fathers are, in fact, the same man? No, of course not; where would be the fun in that?
Read on Ao3
What we liked about it: What a better way to play with all the different tropes! Identity shenanigans galore. 
What We're Made Of (Rated: M)
By @uptoolateart
Tags: I have spent the last two years thinking of nothing but sentibeings, I'm taking the sentibeing idea as far as possible
Summary:
Humanity has just survived the apocalypse – with a little magic, and the help of several hundred senti-soldiers. Now, they need to figure out what to do with them…and what to do with the news that the Mayor of London is a sentibeing himself.
Meanwhile, Hugo, the twins, and other children of sentibeings have developed magical powers. But with the trauma of the war still fresh in people’s minds, prejudices are forming and tensions are riding high.
Now, Adrien, Marinette and Felix – and some unexpected friends – must band together again to face old demons and find a way to move forward at last.
Read on Ao3
What we liked about it: Cerebral, emotional, inspiring, and always inventive. I love it when a well-written story expands the lore in a creative, yet plausible way. There’s a direct line from canon to what this story and its siblings in the Breaking Free series do, and it’s a gift to the fandom.

This is so gorgeous and such a great fic!!! 😍😍
A Whole New World - Chapter 15
It's carpet ride time!! And, with special permission from the artist, I'm so excited to share the stunning artwork done by @yan-san-yan as part of the @mlbigbang!
(Chapter preview below the image)
Tumblr media
As they rocketed up into the night sky, Adrien clutched at the princess’s shoulders for dear life – but it wasn’t enough. They were flying – like, in the sky – on a magic carpet!
Terror made his eyes squeeze shut, and he threw his arms around Marie’s waist, only half noticing the squeal she emitted as he pressed her close to his chest like a security blanket. Then they jolted in a way that told him they were upright again.
‘S-sorry.’ He loosened his hold on her but didn’t remove his arms.
‘That’s…that’s okay.’ Her voice sounded strangled.
His sinuses were itching like crazy. He peeked open one eye – then the other. They seemed to have joined a flock of birds going for a night fly. He sneezed hard and scratched his nose. ‘Sorry – I’m allergic to feathers.’
She twisted round to look at him, her expression worried. ‘You’re going to be okay, though?’
‘Oh, it’s worth it, I promise. This is amazing. Better than amazing! I don’t know what to call it!’
The carpet dipped, then, causing him to slide closer against her back, holding her tight as they dived down over a town. Again, he closed his eyes, his stomach flipflopping and his chin nuzzled into the princess’s neck. The shapes seemed to fit together. Like he was made to hold her.
When they’d levelled out again, he dared to open his eyes a second time. They were gliding over the gardens surrounding some stately home, grand enough to rival the palace grounds.
Overcome, he leaned a little over the side of their ride and plucked a flower – a red rose. He reached around to hand it to Marie, who flushed almost the same colour as the rose, before tucking it into her intricate hair, dark locks falling loose and framing her face.
Then they were zipping back up into the clouds. This time, it wasn’t so scary, though he still held her tightly.
‘Wow. Just…wow.’ It was crazy – like a whole new world, up here – a new, fantastic point of view.

I am the first author to post for @mlbigbang2024! I am excited to share my work with all of you. It's called Broken Road and the idea is to explore a little bit what would happen if Chat started to be corrupted by his Miraculous due to the emotional pain of his loneliness.
Big thank you to my beta, @uptoolateart! This fic wouldn't be nearly as good without her patience and input.
Teaser below the cut.
“Marinette, you need to talk to Chat Noir,” Tikki said as soon as Ladybug had dropped her transformation.
“Hmm?” Marinette said. “What for?”
“Something is wrong,” Tikki said. “His energy is wrong. I’m afraid for him.”
“What do you think is wrong?”
“I’m not sure. Haven’t you noticed that he’s acting differently? He looks different, too.”
Now that Marinette stopped to think about it, Chat was acting differently. He was as competent as always, honestly perhaps even more so. He was more capable of battling the akumas and giving her the space she needed to execute her plans. He threw himself into every fight regardless of any danger. He always had been reckless, but she realized that it had gotten worse lately. He was getting stronger, so he didn’t get hurt as often, but his attitude seemed to be different.
“Yeah, you’re right,” Marinette said slowly. “He has been acting differently. He doesn’t joke anymore. And he doesn’t flirt with me anymore, either. I guess I was just glad he stopped flirting and that made me miss everything else.”
“You need to be more in tune with your partner,” Tikki chided her. “I know you didn’t like his flirting, but it’s no excuse for turning a blind eye to him.”
“I’m sorry,” Marinette said. “You’re right. I’ve been pretty wrapped in myself and I haven’t really paid attention to Chat. I’ll talk to him.”
