HEY YOU!!!

you guys should send me drawing prompts/requests, im trying to get thru some art block and figured it could be fun :)

[princess-of-the-corner]

Oooooh, Miraculous user + akuma duo in the fighting game could be, like, the plot of the game. I think I've got 2 ideas for how it could go.

1) It's a parallel universes interacting situation but not the Re-verse this time. Similar to the Re-verse, where the Butterfly user is a good guy, but not necessarily a character morality swap. This way you could have Team Miraculous paired with their own akuma forms. Lady Wifi + Rena Rouge, Bubbler + Nino, etc. The universes interacting could happen for very similar reasons as it does in the Paris Special though (i.e., big bad in the other universe causes good-aligned Butterfly user to try some dimension hopping shenanigans).

2) Hawkmoth and Team Miraculous are forced to team up. Granted, this would be harder to justify in canon, but you already talked about how someone else trying to steal the Miraculous would probably get HC Gabe to team up with Ladybug and co. I can imagine that a sufficiently formidable and stubborn villain would cause a similar (although much more heated and tentative) team up in canon. If you took this route, I'd pair the heroes with akumas that are important to them specifically, so, like Kim gets Syren, Max gets whatever the akuma form of Markov is that I can't remember right now, and a lot of the kids get teamed with their parents (although I think it would be very funny to pair either akuma Lila and Marinette because they'd hate it or specifically Vulpina and Rena Rouge). Chat gets Mr. Pigeon for silliness reasons.

oh I like both of those!

warning: mention of blood

summary: you’re trying to survive in Beacon Hills

English is not my first language loves, trying my best, enjoy :)

There were no stars in the sky that night as Stiles pulled the Jeep in his porch.

You felt it, something was wrong.

The chilly breeze was caressing your shoulders as you hugged your figure; the stars were not glowing that night, but you were glad, knowing that the next time you saw something glow, blood would have spilled.

William Barrow had not been found and now you were spending the night at Stiles' house to look up for hints or paths the man would have followed: who let him out? who helped him get to school? it was impossible for him to walk there injured, unless he was yet another supernatural being.

too many questions, so few answers.

you couldn't help hearing the ticking of the clock on the wall, the sound reminding you time was running and someone was about to get hurt, again.

"stiles, look here"

the boy approaching you as you were laying on your stomach on his bed.

"Barrow was a electrical engineer, from 1975 to 1997", your fingers slowly tracing the pages as you read: "he was fired that same year for being involved in a minor homicide case".

"there's a power station down close to the border".

his eyes shining as he gently took the paper from your hands, "that might be were he's hiding" he whispered, quickly catching the phone sending a text to Scott.

it was already 3 am, you were dying to get some good sleep, when you rested your head on his cushion.

"I need to go home" you mumbled, your eyes falling shut.

"here" Stiles handed you a shirt and a pair of pants, "wear those to sleep, you can stay here"

you opened one eye, shaking your head, "I'm fine".

he sighed, falling on the bed beside you.

he was lying on his back, watching the ceiling.

"is there ever gonna be a time when you listen to me?"

it was enough to make you turn, eyes piercing his face.

"what do you mean?" you found the strength to whisper.

He turned on his side, the both of you facing now, it was comfortable though, just comfortable.

"you're stubborn"

"I've always been" you mumbled.

"not always" the boy smiled amused "in middle school, you asked me to tell Jhonatan Cristen to back off, remember?"

a soft smile crossing your lips "what has this to do with my stubbornness?"

Stiles kept on rattling "you liked him a lot but you heard him make fun of Scott for his braces and you thought you were giving him payback".

"oh, Scott with braces" you laughed at the memory.

"the thing is, you kept this stoned face all day, only when we went to the cinema that night, you let yourself sink into the sadness, I even saw you shed a couple tears".

"thank you for the terrible memory" you sighed, but the smile was still plastered on your lips.

"I think that was the first time you were vulnerable around me".

"that's not true" you felt yourself say.

"we met when I was in a vulnerable state" you sighed, "in fact I think I'm always vulnerable when I'm around you".

there was no smile on your lips now no, something bitter, some old fears emerging.

"ah!" Stiles chuckled "I always think about you as one of the strongest people I know".

"I doubt it" you whispered as the strength left your body and you sank deep into the sleepiness.

"I don't get it" Kira spoke, "you said this Barrow was sentenced for homicide?"

Scott nod his head, an uneasy expression on his face.

"Can we change topic for at least five minutes?" Lydia stumbled forward holding her bag tightly.

"guys!" Isaac came forward quickly, his slim body twisting as he ran to you: " somebody vandalized Yukimura's classroom, they left a message that looked like.." his eyes darted to Kira as he stopped talking.

Scott shot you a look to which you groaned.

"I want to know!"

"be a good girl" stiles muttered as he pushed your arm softly, "fine, Kira, why don't we walk to class together? these people are annoying anyway".

you took the girl's arm, shooting a pissed look at the crowd as you both left the group.

"they don't want me to hear huh?" the girl asked you once you were far enough.

"something tells me they don't want me to hear either" you breathed, suddenly lighting up with excitement "which means we'll have to see for ourselves".

a laugh escaped your lips as you both abruptly turned to the right, following the path of the corridor.

once you reached the classroom you found a crowd of students gathered just outside the door, mr Yukimura shaking his hands in the air to gain the teen's attention.

as you and Kira made your way through the crowd, reaching for the door, your breath was stuck in your lungs "that looks like-".

"blood" Kira stated "that looks like blood".

written in dark red, on the board hung on the wall, a series of numbers were displayed: 19 53 88.

"what does it even mean?" you asked no one in particular as a girl to your left pushed you to take a closer look.

"let's get out of here" you heard Kira mutter as she dragged you out of the crowd, a anxious expression on her face.

Lies of Omission

I know that this scene has been discussed hundreds of times already, and there are probably posts out there that are very similar to this one. However, I saw this being brought up again on Instagram, and I feel the need to say my bit about it.

The question brought up over and over again is “Why did Scott believe Theo over Stiles?”.

He didn’t.

In the entire scene, there’s never once the question of whose story he should believe – as far as the boys are concerned, there is only one story. That’s what causes the miscommunication.

I also noticed something else while watching the scene: nothing that Stiles said actually contradicted Theo’s story.

To go into more depth, I’m going to go through each bit of the dialogue and explain what’s basically being said from each character’s point of view.

[Scott holds out the bloody wrench]

Stiles: Where did you get that?

Scott: This is yours? Why didn't you tell me?

Stiles: I was going to...

Scott: No, but why didn't you tell me when it happened?

Stiles: I couldn't.

So far, it’s pretty straightforward.

Scott shows Stiles the wrench, who immediately reacts in a guilty manner. It’s important to note that Scott’s “This is yours?” holds quite a bit of surprise in it, so he clearly hadn’t already made up his mind about what happened.

Stiles takes the wrench and looks at it, while Scott asks him “Why didn’t you tell me?”

I know that, to some people, his question implies that he’s already leapt to a conclusion about what happened, but this isn’t necessarily the case. He hasn’t specified what it is he believes Stiles has done; all this shows is that he knows something big has happened.

Stiles’ response sounds incredibly guilty, and he struggles to look Scott in the eye. It’s clear at this point that he’s done something bad.

Scott: You killed him? You killed Donovan?

Stiles: Well, he was going to kill my dad. Huh? Was I supposed to just let him?

Scott: You weren't supposed to do this. None of us are.

This is where it starts to get more confusing.

Scott asks whether Stiles killed Donovan, and again the surprise and disbelief in his voice shows that he hadn’t already made up his mind prior to this conversation.

Stiles responds by telling him “he was going to kill my dad [...] was I supposed to just let him?” (i.e. “I killed Donovan because he was going to kill my dad”).

The worst thing about this is that it essentially confirms what Theo was saying. Theo said “maybe it was because he threatened to kill his dad”.

It also implies to Scott that this was not self-defense, because Stiles’ dad wasn’t there. Instead, it tells Scott that Stiles chose to kill Donovan because he couldn’t risk Donovan hurting his father.

Also, Stiles is asking Scott “Was I supposed to just let him [kill my father]?” (i.e. “was I supposed to let him go free and risk him killing my father?”)

If Stiles had explained how much he regretted it, Scott (despite still not knowing the whole story) would likely have reacted differently. Instead, it sounds to Scott as though Stiles has done something terrible and is now defending it.

Hence, he replies by essentially saying that no, his response was not justified. “You weren't supposed to do this.”

Stiles: You think I had a choice?

Scott: There's always a choice.

This is where it’s important to look at the different viewpoints. Scott is still under the impression that Stiles killed Donovan to protect his father. So, from his point of view, Stiles did have a choice.

Stiles: Yeah, well, I can't do what you can, Scott. I know you wouldn't have done it. You probably would have just figured something out, right?

Scott: I'd try.

Stiles: Yeah, because you're Scott McCall! You're the True Alpha! Guess what? All of us can't be True Alphas! Some of us have to make mistakes. Some of us have to get our hands a little bloody sometimes. Some of us are human!

Once again, it’s clear that they’re talking about completely different things.

Stiles is talking about what he can do physically. He’s saying that he couldn’t easily fight off Donovan the way that Scott could have. He’s saying that Scott could have found a solution that didn’t end in one of them dying.

But Scott still doesn’t know that. He still thinks that Stiles killed Donovan by using disproportionate force, because he was scared that if Donovan survived then he’d harm his father. From his point of view, Stiles is saying that murder was the only option, and he couldn’t figure something else out.

So he responds by essentially saying that yes, he would try and figure out another solution to protect his father and also not kill Donovan.

It’s an entirely reasonable response, but obviously from Stiles’ point of view, Scott is being very unfair here. This, along with the fact that he’s being crushed under guilt and stress and anger, causes him to lash out.

Scott: So you had to kill him?

Stiles: Scott, he was going to kill my dad!

Scott: But the way that it happened... There's a point when it's... It's not self-defense anymore!

Stiles: What are you even talking about? I didn't have a choice, Scott!

Scott, to his credit, doesn’t get angry, and instead gets back to the main point. He’s clearly very desperate at this point, desperate for there to be something he’s missed.

So he asks whether Stiles had to kill him – note that this isn’t simply if Stiles killed Donovan, it’s more about whether it was the only choice. Keep in mind, that Scott cares a lot about Stiles. He doesn’t want to fall out with him.

Unfortunately, Stiles’ response only emphasised what he’d previously claimed, making it sound like that was his only reason.

This is where both characters should have paid more attention to each other’s words. Scott’s comment about “the way that it happened” should have driven Stiles to questioning what he thought had happened; and Stiles’ confusion should have again made Scott question whether he had the story right.

However, they’re both upset and stressed, and so it’s understandable that at this point they aren’t thinking clearly and rationally.

Stiles: You don't even believe me, do you?

Scott: I want to.

Stiles: Okay. All right, so... So, believe me, then. Scott, say you believe me. Say it. Say you believe me.

[Stiles steps forward brandishing the wrench and Scott flinches]

Scott: Stiles, we can't kill people that we're trying to save.

Stiles: Say you believe me!

Scott: We can't kill people. Do you believe that?

This is where everybody hates Scott, but again it’s taking everything out of context.

When Stiles says “believe me”, he means “believe me that there was no choice, I was about die and it was an accident”, but Scott hears “believe me that my only choice was to kill Donovan to protect my dad”.

Scott wants to believe that Stiles’ actions were necessary, but he knows that killing somebody to prevent the possibility of something else from happening in the future is not justified (especially when there are other ways they could have protected his dad).

Also, Theo was cunning and he told Scott “maybe Stiles thought he had to keep going to defend himself” – which feeds into Scott’s belief that Stiles might have thought it was his only choice, despite this not being the case.

I also want to point out that Scott flinching is likely due to the trauma of Void Stiles. In Letharia Vulpina (3x19), by the animal clinic in the pouring rain, Void Stiles tortured Scott. The similarities of the situation likely caused him to flinch (and then there’s obviously the fact that flinching when somebody steps forward with a weapon is a completely natural response, even without all the trauma).

Stiles: Well, what do I do about this? What do you want me to do? Okay, just be... Scott, just tell me how to fix this, all right? Please, just tell me-- what do you want me to do?

Scott: Don't worry about Malia or Lydia. We'll find them. Maybe... Maybe you should talk to your dad.

This is when Stiles essentially gives up. From his point of view, he’s tried defending himself, but Scott is still condemning him; he’s being blamed for something that was in no way his fault.

Instead of lashing out again, he accepts that he was at fault (although he wasn’t – it was his guilt that was persuading him that he was in the wrong), and begs Scott to tell him how he can fix his mistake.

Scott, who is also very overwhelmed, suggests he talk to his dad, who will be able to fix it and sort everything out.

I know some people equate this to Scott kicking Stiles out of the pack, but I really don’t think it is.

Scott saying “Don't worry about Malia or Lydia” is not him forbidding Stiles from speaking to them. It’s simply a callback to the beginning of the conversation, when Stiles informed Scott that he’d been unable to get in touch with Malia or Lydia.

And yes, he dismisses Stiles, but that’s because so many other things are going on. Hayden is directly behind them, dying in the animal clinic. Scott needs to go and help her, and Stiles being there will probably just increase the tension and make things more difficult.

In Conclusion:

It was a miscommunication. Scott and Stiles both thought they were talking about the same thing, which led to them not understanding what the other was trying to say.

Scott did not come into the argument already believing Stiles was guilty. His reaction to Theo’s story was, literally, “that’s not possible”. It was Stiles’ accidental confirmation of Theo’s story that led Scott to believe it was true.

“believe me” does not mean “believe my story”, because to their knowledge there was only one story.

Scott did not kick Stiles out of the pack.

I firmly believe that the only mistake either character made (beyond hiding the whole secret in the first place) is not pushing further to make sure they were both talking about the same thing. Scott should have asked for Stiles’ full story of the events, and Stiles should have explained what happened when he had the chance. It can, however, be put down to their mindsets at the time: Theo chose a good time to tell Scott, when both of them were already overwhelmed with all the events going on.

i actually think the "taking people's pain" thing in teen wolf is a really interesting trope with really interesting potential ramifications. the show doesn't really touch on it but pain isn't just this unfortunate side effect of injury - it serves a purpose. the whole point of experiencing pain is that our body is sending a message to our brain going "hey, SOMETHING'S WRONG!!!" and as long as we're in pain, we know something is wrong, and our body fights to fix it, cope with it, heal from it. in teen wolf, we see the werewolves taking pain from their wounded friends/allies, and it's obviously a gesture of empathy, to reduce suffering, which i get. but it also feels like doing that would actually be counterintuitive, because if your body isn't feeling pain, then it doesn't know something is wrong, and if it doesn't know something's wrong then it doesn't know it needs to heal. taking pain in the teen wolf universe kind of seems like more of an opioid than an NSAID, to speak in terms of painkillers - it doesn't actually solve any problems in the long-term, it just decreases the amount of pain a person is experiencing as a consequence of the problems (i.e. injuries). and that seems like something that could actually do more harm than good.

think about the dying deputy in letharia vulpina in season 3b, or gabe in the show's finale in 6b. in both cases someone (scott or theo) takes the person's pain, and we see them go from obviously suffering to being at peace, no longer hurting. and then they die. AND THEN THEY DIE! now i understand that, because it's a tv show, they were gonna die anyway, and i know tv shows don't have to follow real-world logic, i get that. but stay with me for a minute here and just think about this, right, because those characters only survived their injuries for as long as they were in pain. as soon as it stopped hurting, they stopped living. the pain was, obviously, Fucking Painful, but it also kept them alive. and i have to wonder, watching that, if anyone else is thinking about the consequences of eliminating people's pain. how will they know to heal if nothing hurts?

when you get your wisdom teeth out, they numb your mouth, and it's still numb when you come out of it. if you bite your lip, you don't feel it. it doesn't hurt. but that doesn't mean it didn't happen. you could still suffer in the long run as a result of that injury. infections, for example, are a very real danger. (not in teen wolf the tv show obviously because again: tv logic, but if you're, say, writing fic, you might want to think about these things.) and if you keep numbing the injury, your body never knows to heal it. i think about cora in 3a, when she's dying from whatever jennifer did to her. again, i realize she was Dying, As A Plot Point, not just like, experiencing a normal injury, but derek takes her pain over and over and over again. he doesn't give her the chance to stop and feel it. what if it had been a normal injury after all, and preventing her from feeling the pain had actually been delaying her ability to heal from it? the injuries people sustain on this show are like a thousand times worse than biting your lip!! scott and the rest of the werewolves etc are wonderful empathetic people who don't want people to be in pain, and i admire that. but i also wish the show as a whole recognized that there is more to pain than just Making You Human. it also keeps you alive. keeps you fighting.

it actually reminds me of that whole thing stiles talks about at the beginning of 2x11, about how when you're drowning you hold your breath until the last possible minute (voluntary apnea) to give yourself longer to live, even though it's agonizing. and when you do finally breathe in, he calls it peaceful. but that's also the moment you die. as soon as you choose to release the pressure - as soon as you can't take the pain anymore - you go from "painfully surviving" to "peacefully drowning." and morrell asks him if maybe it's worth it to hold your breath a little longer - feel a little more pain - to give yourself more time to be rescued, to survive.

the sooner you breathe in, the sooner you're beyond saving. and the same rules apply with the supernatural pain relief. the less time you have to actually feel the pain, the less time you have to heal from what's causing it. that doesn't seem like such a good thing in the long run, to me. morrell says it best: if it's about survival, isn't a little agony worth it?

Miraculous Flash Forward Part 16: Familiar Enemies

A Miraculous Fan-Fic

Written By 

AJ Dunn

It had been years since the four of them had done this, it made them all feel like children again as they walked around Paris looking for Andre. The sun was beginning to descend casting hues of pink and orange across the blue sky.

“It’s the most romantic time of day.” Marinette said. “I bet we’ll find him by the Seine.”

“I agree, Andre never could miss a romantic opportunity.” Alya agreed. Nino took her hand as they ran like children towards the bridge. This was where the Liberty used to dock all the time. Adrien remembered when all of their friends would gather on this bank to eat Andre’s ice cream and listen to Kitty Section. He had always wanted it to be Marinette that he shared an ice cream with, but she always denied having feelings for him, no matter how hard he fished for it. He smiled down at her as they waited behind Nino and Alya to get their ice cream for the first time. 

“Uhh… Marinette, what a vision of perfection, and Young Adrien is a man fit for her protection…” His face seems more delighted to see them together than pretty much anyone else. “Mint for his emerald starre, Black Cherry for the beautiful lives you will share, Your love is as destined as the stars astuc upon the sea. You two were always meant to be.” he handed Adrien the cone as Marinette and Alya giggled. They sat down by the Seine for old times sake as they reminisced. 

“Wait, you finally proposed?” Nino wasn’t quiet. “Did she say yes?”

“Well, no, she kinda just babbled for a few minutes until I just kissed her and that was the end of it.” Adrien looked at her cheeks now flushed then spooned a bite of ice cream into her mouth. 

“Do you guys hear that?” Alya said as everyone quieted to listen. There was music playing nearby, band music. They all stood up and headed down the bank of the Seine until they found the source.

“The Liberty.” they all shouted in unison as they ran towards it. The gangplank was up and they could see their old friends playing. Luka and Julek on guitars. Ivan on the drums. Mylene, and Zoe, seated on actual seats rather than box’s. There were two small square tables now on the deck with four chairs each. Mylene and Zoe were seated at one table. The song came to an abrupt end as Adrien crossed the gangplank with Marinette’s hand in his. They were following Alya and Nino, but when the song ended it was the moment Luka’s eyes caught Adriens. 

“It’s about time.” Luka set his guitar down and ran to the couple. He threw his arms around Adrien’s neck pulling him tight into a hug. They were nearly the same height but Luka was still rather thin compared to the musculature tone of Adriens chest and shoulders. “I knew you two were roommates, and there had been rumors that you were more.” he said as he pulled away. The turned his attention to Marinette giving her a hug, stooping to reach her shoulders. 

“Adrien...Adrien...Adrien.” the band called to him urging him to join them on stage. Adrien blushed as he pulled out a seat for Marinette. Alya and Nino sat down at the empty table with Marinette. Zoe and Mylene moved their chairs and pushed the two tables together so they could all sit together. Adrien stepped up to the keyboard.

“I haven’t played in so long.” He confessed. “But uh, can you guys do this.” he hit a few notes mimicking a tune for a song. 

“Bad Romance, hell yeah.” Luka said.

“I don’t know the words to that one.” Rose said, as she was the main singer.

“Let me handle this one.” Adrien smiled. He looked over at Marinette. She hadn’t been listening so he started playing out the tune. The audience stopped talking and watched. The upbeat music took over as Adrien began to sing the lyrics. Juleka almost missed her beat as she was caught off guard. Rose stood quietly listening to him before she too began to sing, didn’t know all of the lyrics, but she knew the harmony. 

“Adrien, I always knew you a lot more rock & roll and a lot less piano solo.” Luka smiled. “Another one?” Adrien smiled at Marinette who’s eyes locked on his. Adrien nodded. Adrien started playing a tune, Luka recognized it and began playing along with Juleka as Ivan stilled his drums to watch. 

Adrien's voice rose up as he sang a song that often played in his mind when he was with Marinette. It was Perfect, by Ed Sheeran. The crowd awed as the words slipped softly from his lips as he played his eyes lost in hers. He watched her face glow. Her hands folded together under her chin. He almost lost his words as her eyes twinkled with the love he felt for her. When the line about having children came, she blushed and turned her eyes away. He hadn’t gone that far with her, not yet. He wanted to, so badly it hurt, but he was holding on to the one thing he had never given anyone, he wouldn’t give it away that easily and he was sure she had never experienced it either. 

The night out on the town had been a well needed break from the twins. They were spending the night with Tom & Sabine, in Marinette’s old bedroom. They were happy to get to bake cookies and Tom was excited to teach them. Adrien mused over what it would be like to have grandchildren and this was his trial run.

Adrien and Marinette made transformed into Cat and Ladybug for a high rise tour of the city. A means to get back to the people they used to be. This time, as they ran from rooftop to rooftop with Adrien’s cat puns and jests, Marinette returned his jokes with snarky playful comments in response. Adrien was happy she had stopped shutting down his playful side and let herself enjoy it. The one hesitancy he had to let her have all of him, was her inability to accept all of him. He had worried that she only saw the sunshine boy that his father had made him out to be, and that she wouldn’t accept him for who he really was. 

“I hope you can love this side of me,” He said as he collided with her in mid-air. He hung by one arm suspended under a street lamp as he clung to her with the other. “Because this is who I truly am. Not that.” He looked up to see an old poster of him from his modeling days sprawled out on a street advert. It was from his fragrance commercial. Suddenly and before their eyes, the images changed to photos from the days his father made him pose with Lila. She was kissing him, but he never kissed her on the lips. A pink heart was around their faces as the close up showed them locked in a loving embrace.

“What the…” Adrien lost his grip on the lamp post as he and Ladybug slipped to the street below. 

“Adrien.” Marinette said, staring at the image. “You and Lila?” 

“I never have,” he said angrily. “This is fake. But how.” Ladybug swung her yo-yo angrily at the poster knowing that vandalism was a crime didn’t change the ache in her heart. The image dissolved into smoke and an image of Kitty Section took it’s place. 

“A mirage.” Ladybug said. 

“Vulpina?” 

“But how, Hawk Moth was the only way she could receive her powers.” Ladybug thought for a second. “Trixx.” She called Alya, 

“Do you have Trixx, are you still wearing your…”

“Slow down girl, yeah of course. Why?” Ladybug sighed and told her about the mirage. They heard a maniacal laugh coming from the rooftops and quickly descended, letting her phone call go. They scout the town until they saw her coming towards them. It was Rena Rouge. 

“I came as quickly as I could.” Rena said. “Where…” they could hear the laughter again coming from an adjacent rooftop.

“You will never be as powerful as me, Rena Rouge.” The voice came from the supervillain Vulpin. 

“You’re just a bad copy from an old book.’ Cat yelled back. The three stood on the rooftop ready for whatever she would send their way. 

“Hawk Moth will give me any power I want,” She sang into the air. 

“Hawk Moth?” the three said together. In an instant, the maniac was gone. She was just another illusion. The three separated, agreeing to meet up later to discuss what just happened. 

“Felix?” Marinette asked as they sat on the couch in his room. “I hate to think he is Hawk Moth, but…”

“It fits. I mean he was the last one to have the broach, he disappeared before the end of the tempest battle, and…” 

“He’s been missing ever since.” Marinette finished. 

“I uh, had someone make up the next room for you…”

“OH…” Marinette folded an arm over her chest draping her hand on her shoulder. “Okay.” 

“I mean, you said…” Adrien scratched the back of his neck for a minute as he stood up looking at his childhood bed. They had slept together before, but it wasn’t a regular thing. He stripped off his t-shirt and tossed it on the floor. Looking back down at her as she sat on the couch. Her face slowly turned up as her eyes traced the lines on his belly to the lines on his chest. Her face glowed brightly until they locked eyes. 

“Well?” He offered her his hand. She took it as she stood up. He guided her to his bed. He pulled back the blankets on the side she normally slept on and pulled her to it laying her down. They had already put on their pajamas, however, he liked to sleep with as little on as possible when he slept alone. However, with her in his bed, he didn’t trust his own self-control without a few layers between them.

She clung to his hand as he stood at the side of the bed. He dove over her making the bed bounce. She giggled as he playful rolled around messing up the blankets. She scruffed his wild blond hair before he straightened himself laying his head on the pillow only centimeters from her face.  

“Silly Kitty.” Marinette rolled to her side and faced him. 

“I hope this doesn’t BUG you.” he played. 

“You’re imPAWsible.” she giggled. He loved it when she used cat puns. He kissed her lips as his hand weaved through her hair. He pulled her into him as her hands wrapped around his waist, throwing one leg over him. She maneuvered her body till he was on his back with her straddling him. He shuddered as he felt her warmth on him. Her kiss, hungry for his. 

His hands held her at her hips as her chest lay flatly on his, her hands now in his hair. Oh, if only he had his Cat suit on. It enhanced all of his senses and was the kind of protection he needed right now to give him the resolve to not go too far. He twitched his fingers into her sides tickling her in hopes of breaking this hold, knowing he didn’t have the will to stop it. She began to squirm on him. Her hips moving from side to side as they rubbed on his…. He gasped. Had he known she would move like that he would have thought twice about it. 

“Adrien.” She stopped to look at his face. She must have seen the look on his face as she settled down putting all of her weight onto his hips. Suddenly she shot up on her knees lifting her weight from him. He gripped her hips so she wouldn’t go too far. 

“Shh.” He brought one hand up to her face cupping it gently before bringing it to meet him. Their lips locked again as she settled herself back down to his hips. Her face had brightened to a red he had never seen before and it broke him, he didn’t think he had the will to stop. Suddenly there was a noise at the window. They both jumped from bed to see what it was. The light in the bedroom blocked out the view of the darkened city outside. Adrien ran to the switch, turning the light off. There was a figure standing on the rooftop across the street, someone was watching them. They ran to the window but the figure ran from the rooftop. 

Marinette sat on the bed shivering. Adrien put his arm around her trying to comfort her. 

“Someone was watching us.” She squeaked embarrassed at the compromising position they had been seen in. “Were they taking pictures?” That is certainly what the sound was, a camera click without a flash. Adrien often kept the window open but he closed it and set the lock. He noticed something attached to the window. A note. Attached to a suction dart clung to the window. 

‘Enjoy what you have now

Before I take it all

YOU WILL BE MINE!

“What is it?” Marinette asked from the bed. He handed her the note. She dropped it the instant her eyes saw the words. A shriek left her mouth. “Do you think it was meant for you or me?” Adrien looked back at the window. 

“If it was Vuplina.” He paused.

“Then it was meant for you.” Marinette finished. “Lila has always wanted you, and would do anything to get rid of her competition.” 

“What do you say? We check out the room across the hall, the windows there are less visible to outsiders.” He took her hand and led her across the hall. 

Marinette left the house before Adrien woke up. She had spent all morning searching the internet for someone. Alix wasn’t in France anymore, in fact she was participating in extreme sports in Florida. Marinette pulled out the horse miraculous and merged it with Tikki. She used a portal to plop herself into Alix’s bedroom. She was still asleep but at least she was alone. Pegabug woke her up. Alix sat up rubbing her eyes trying to make out the figure before her. 

“Is it time?” Alix asked as she sat up. 

“I think it is, Someone has the Butterfly Miraculous, and now Vulpina is back.” Alix was suddenly awake. She remembered how much chaos the illusionist caused especially during Heros day. “I think you will know when to use this.” She handed her the pocket watch then went over the instructions for how to use the Kwami’s power after introducing her to Fluff again. 

“Should I come back to Paris?” Alix asked. 

“I think you will be fine, better safe to keep your distance, just monitor everything from here.” Pegabug then made another portal. Good thing she had built up the strength to use her power more than once before needing to recharge. She returned to the manor and found Adrien standing in front of her. 

“Did you give Alix the bunny?” He asked. Pegabug released her transformation and nodded. “Good, we need to call Luka.” He said picking up his phone.

“NO, we need to call EVERYONE.” Marinette said. “NO one but us can know about Alix. and only because you have known as long as I have that she would one day be Bunnyx.” Adrien called Luka while Marinette and Alya. They were calling a team meeting at the one place Lila didn’t know about. The Barge. 

The band was playing by the time Adrien and Marinette arrived. They had to stop by the bakery to make sure the girls weren’t causing too much trouble. Luka, Juleka, Rose and Ivan jammed out a beat as Mylene, Zoe, Alya, Nino, Max, Kim, and Kagami, sat at the tables. The music died down as the band set their instruments aside. 

“Shall we all go downstairs.” Luka walked everyone inside. The Living room area was large enough for the whole group with a large sectional style couch wrapping around the wall leaving a large enough area for the band to practice if they chose too. Everyone but Marinette and Adrien sat down. 

“We have an announcement to make.” Adrien started, his arm around Marinette’s shoulders. “We are getting married.” 

“Finally.” the whole group said together as they all began to mutter amongst themselves about how long it had taken for them to finally see the moon through the stars. Something that was so obvious, that everyone else seemed to know but they were always too blinded by the stars to see it. Adrien could feel the heat in his cheeks as a shy smile spread on his face. He was still kicking himself for being so oblivious of Marinette in high school. He knew she liked him, but thought it was only his model status and her desire to become a designer, nothing more. She never thought she was good enough for him. 

“That isn’t the only news.” the crowd hushed as Marinette spoke up. “Mylene wasn’t the first of us to receive the Mullo, the mouse miraculous, I was.” Marinette confessed. Alya, Luka and Adrien were the only ones to know the truth of this group. So keeping Ladybugs secret was imperative. 

“And I am Aspik, I held Sass before Luka did.” He said with a shy smirk. “I wasn’t very good at it, but I am close friends with Chat, we play video games together and…” 

“Talk about how horrible the rich boy's life is together?” Luka jokes. “You rich boys were probably skiing in the Alps.” 

“Wait, Cat Noir is rich?” Ivan asked. 

“Richer than I am.” Adrien confessed scratching the back of his neck. 

“Ladybug and Cat Noir found us this morning, they had followed a suspicious person to our window. Where they found this.” Marinette helped up the note. 

“So it was Vulpina.” Alya said. The group began to mutter worried about the illusions that nearly ruined everything for everyone. 

“Who is Vulpina anyway?” Kim asked. 

“Lila.” Marinette said. “The master of Lies and illusions.” Shock fell on the faces of the group. They had all believed her lies and coddled her even against Marinette who they all agreed was the most honest of them all. 

“We will all stand together again.” Luka stood up putting his fist into the center of the room. Zoe and Juleka joined him. Kim, who was always up for a competition, was next. Soon everyone stepped in as Adrien and Marinette refrained. “Get in here.” Luka smiled knowingly at them. They added their fists to the bump.

How to Scare Your Sort-of-Boyfriend-but-You-Haven’t-Taken-the-Time-to-Talk-With-Him-About-Your-Casually-Developing-and-Very-Serious-Closeness-and-What-it-May-Mean-to-the-Two-of-You Half-to-Death

Sorry about, everything I suppose. I’m still working through a few things and I have absolutely zero inspiration for the bioDad!Bruce prompts, so I decided to fall into something familiar. Calliope strikes again, and this time Hawkmoth can strike back... until Robin gets his hands on him of course. Maribat by @ozmav

·         Heroes day happens and, instead of seeing Ladybug (Pixiebug) killing Chat Noir, Vulpina shows an illusion of an akumatized Calliope laying waste to the rest of the team (I’ll be honest, it’s at about this moment that I started to get tired of the lack of development and stopped watching the show in earnest and it kinda slipped from mind ).

o   It gets, for a lack of a better word, messy. I mean, Chat is forced to Cataclysm Pixie by Calli-kuma, he is then pummeled to the ground and Robin has his cape torn off and is thrown into the sky with no way to slow his descent.

·         Skarletmoth shows up and akumatizes everyone as usual and builds his army and the four heroes bring forth some backup, a mouse Juleka (I’ll think of a name, eventually) and a Vipereon.

o   Because Marinette has less of a say on who gets chosen, I’m aiming more towards Rose’s closer friend-group.

o   Pixie has openly flirted with Jules at some point prior, who responds, “I’m flattered, but I have a girlfriend.”

o   Rose is very happy and affectionate after she meets her again later.

·         Vipereon recognizes his sister almost right away and they get red-butterflied in a similar way to Heroes Day DJWifi

·         Callieope primarily takes on most of the air fighters and such, blowing away the butterflies and keeping the perimeter while Pixie and Chat deal with the active akumatized victims

·         They make a lot more noticeable headway with the battle than in cannon, and Scarletmoth (how’s that even spelled?)

·         Everyone is preoccupied when he arrives and Pixie calls Callie over their communications device to send their strongest team member to face him.

·         Lo and behold, Gabby figures out Callieope’s ties to Superman. By figures it out he “simply guesses and gets lucky”

·         As she rushes to face him, she hovers over him with her angry eyes and he pulls his cane sword on her.

·         She blocks it and it cuts through her suit but not her arm, in no time she has him knocked to the ground when he holds a hand up to surrender.

·         She breaks his cane, and he transforms back into regular hawkmoth

·         At this point, Robin has grappled over and was making his way over, zip-tie cuffs in hand, the others aren’t far behind him.

·         Hawkmoth makes his play, and pulls a shard of synthetic kryptonite on her, stabbing her with it

·         Marinette barely has time to register the pain in her side before hawkmoth lands a punch to the side of her head, disorienting her and giving him an opening to make space between them, by kicking her off to the side.

·         Hawkmoth doesn’t have time to catch his breath as Robin is on him in a moment, slashing and hacking away as hawky only has half a cane to try to block his attacks

·         He can shrug off most of the sword strikes, but notices that Robin’s sword is special as it’s making almost skin-deep cuts in his supposedly indestructible suit (Atlantean steel mixed with unbridled and unyielding rage, baby).

·         Viperion, Pixie bug, and Mousika run over to Calliope and check on her, trying to stop the bleeding and deal with the kryptonite knife.

·         Chat was watching in stunned silence as Robin was very clearly not going to let him live afterward.

·         Near the end of the fight, the heroes with Marinette figure to pull the shard from her. Chat cataclysms it to cancel out the radiation, and they carry her into the sunlight to help her heal.

·         By the time she’s strong enough to stand again, Hawkmoth was holding Robin’s sword, by the blade, trying to keep it out of his throat with Robin pushing all his weight down on the pommel.

·         This was when Nathalie intervened as Mayura, bringing about the giant moth monster It flaps its wings and sends everyone, but Callie flying.

·         Callie uses her denser body to stick to the ground as she sends her heat vision at it to try to trim its wings or something,

·         Mayura lets the monster dissolve like in the show, and Gabriel gets away, with more than a few bruises and cuts. luckily for him, it’s nothing that his normal suit wouldn’t cover.

·         He gets back to the mansion and the similar scene that you would expect, except with lasting development

·         After the ladybugs cure the damage, Marinette finds that her stab wound hadn’t quite healed yet, not that she tells anyone about it.

·         She checks herself with x-ray vision and doesn’t see any pieces of the shard in her, but as soon as she gets home, she spends some quality time with her star in a box.

o   Damian, may or may not have arrived at her place in such a rush, he almost arrives as she does

o   He bursts in and climbs up to her room, Sabine and Tom were already worried and had come up to join her.

o   He demands to see her wound and she complies, letting him examine it.

o   It takes him sighing from relief from seeing her advanced healing leaving her with barely a scar, for him to notice that he’s got one hand on her waist and another on her upper thigh.

o   He hops back, raising his hands to the air with a bright red face.

o   Sabine giggles at him and Tom crosses his arms over his chest, huffing intimidatingly.

·         Luckily for Marinette, the school decided to give the students the rest of the day off as well as the following day to recover from the events that transpired.

·         Inspired by Marinette’s recent injury, once he’s sure that Marinette will do fine without him, Damian makes a call to his father.

One thing I love about the sciles dynamic is that Stiles is never afraid of Scott. Maybe in s1, when the werewolf thing was new, but not after. Stiles is 100% sure Scott won't hurt him and he's RIGHT

I once made a post here talking about Stiles's relationship with Peter Hale, only to realize, after I received your question, that I can make a similar statement about Stiles when it comes to Scott: Stiles's need for Scott is only exceeded by Stile's love for Scott and this fact remains unchanged throughout the seasons.

The most important person in Stile's life during the series, the one he would do anything for, is without question, his father. But the relationship between fathers and sons, particularly this one, has certain land mines, even at the start of the series, that Stiles and his dad have to navigate carefully around, mostly arising from the traumatic circumstances of Claudia. There are things they don't talk about and badly healed wounds, as the audience can tell by the scene in Co-Captain (1x10), Party Guessed (2x09), and The Girl Who Knew Too Much (3x09).

At the beginning of the show, that complexity didn't exist between Stiles and Scott. Stiles had no boundaries with Scott. He doesn't think twice about showing up in the middle of the night with an impulsive decision to go looking for a dead body in the woods, calling Scott a dumbass, mocking his dreams of being first line, all with perfect confidence that Scott not only wouldn't reject him but there is a very good chance, he'll follow right along.

For a person who endured the violent rejection of his own mother and her tragic death, a friendship seemingly without limitations is something to be treasured. It's something to be fought for. Please, as if something like the threat of bodily harm could deter Stiles from keeping the person he needs and loves safe. Derek scares him because he doesn't care about Derek; the danger Jackson finds himself in is "his own fault."

I know I've talked in negative terms about Stiles's demands on Scott in Heart Monitor (1x06) and going behind Scott's back in Formality (1x11) but those don't contradict this thesis. These actions may not be ethical -- in fact I'm absolutely sure they're not -- but they're designed to protect Scott, both physically and in terms of their relationship. Stiles wants and needs Scott whole but also unchanged, still the only person that Stiles can tease unmercifully or mess up badly with and yet still will ditch his girlfriend to come pick him up. That's why Stiles will insist that Scott do the right thing, no matter what, because that's part of who Scott is. Stiles will throw firebombs at serial killers and endure beatings from a geriatric sociopath in silence so Scott can remain Scott.

Every major relationship crisis between Scott and Stiles comes not from Scott disappointing Stiles but from the idea that Scott's new life and responsibilities will force Scott to stop valuing Stiles the way Stiles values Scott. That's the message behind "You still got me" in Master Plan (2x12): Stiles is stating that no matter how much this werewolf crap changes Scott, he doesn't have to worry about this -- about them. The fear and loss in Stiles's eyes during The Overlooked (3x10) isn't about Scott betraying him but about the realization that the forces of darkness may have finally changed Scott into someone who doesn't need him the way Stiles needs him. The nogitsune torments Stiles in Letharia Vulpina (3x19) by presenting a perverted image of their friendship -- the fox in Stiles's body manipulates Scott into doing the right thing (taking pain) torments Scott (with the ninja-to) and then takes what he needs from the relationship. Stiles puts himself in Eichen House rather than allow himself to hurt Scott that way again in Echo House (3x20) and hides his own pain in The Divine Move (3x21). He'd rather die than let the nogitsune get between them.

Season 5A, of course, is Stiles's greatest fear made real -- that he will go too far, that his own nature will end up destroying this love he values so much and that this friendship that he needs to cope with his life will be gone. There's a reason for that scene with the Jeep in the rain. Stiles could never possibly fear Scott's claws and fangs; the only thing that could make Stiles break down is Scott's indifference.

That's why, in both Motel California (3x06) and Riders of the Storm (6x10) Stiles's ultimate words are always "I need you." For Stiles, Scott could never hurt him as long as he's there.

WIP Wednesday

Excerpt from a Sterek WIP I’m calling If Time is a Healer:

“Have you seen my -” Derek turned around and saw his phone charger, right in front of his face, held by a scaly blue-black tail.

Jackson raised an eyebrow at him, looking smug.

Derek snatched the charger away and shoved it into the side pocket of his backpack. “Remember, if Scott asks, I’m just going down to visit Cora. I don’t want to get his hopes up.”

“Explain to me why Cora can’t just talk to him in the first place?” Jackson sighed. He flopped back onto Derek’s bed, arms folded behind his head. “Just go up to him, ‘Oh, hey Stilinski, where have you been for almost a decade? You don’t write, you don’t call...’”

“You weren’t there after he disappeared,” Derek sighed. “He was hallucinating, sleepwalking. Then the Yukimuras showed up saying they were looking for a nogitsune…” He frowned at his suitcase as he set a couple of shirts into it. “We didn’t even suspect him until he vanished. For all we know, he’s still possessed, laying low and feeding off chaos wherever he can find it.” Derek glanced up. “Pass me that book off the nightstand?”

Jackson picked the book up and turned it over in his hands. “Russian Literature in the Soviet Period,” he read, then snorted. “Jesus, weren’t we trying to get you to cheer up?” He chucked the book at Derek’s head.

Derek snatched it out of the air. “We can’t all get by on poppy summer beach reads and Twitter feeds,” he replied, deadpan.

“So what’s the plan if he is possessed?” Jackson asked. “Do you have a plan? I mean, it’s not like a nogitsune would just up and tell you he’s still hijacking Stiles.”

“Letharia Vulpina,” Derek said as he slipped the book into the front pocket of his backpack. “It’s a poison that works on kitsune. Sheriff Stilinski kept it around, just in case he ever found Stiles. There were still a few vials around. I slip it to Stiles, and if he’s affected by the poison, I keep him dosed with it until we can get him up here and figure out what to do.”

Jackson frowned at Derek for a long moment. “I still say you should bring someone with you.”

“Are you volunteering?”

“You know I can’t get the time off work. Chris would go with you if you asked him.”

“I’m not asking Chris.” Derek zipped the backpack, then the suitcase. He looked up at Jackson, at the comfortable way his packmate lounged in Derek’s space like it was his own. “Water my plants?” he asked.

vulpina -pilot ep

words count: few                       fem reader! x stiles stilinski

warning: mention of alcohol, it's teenage boys

summary: you're trying to survive in Beacon Hills

English is not my first language loves, trying my best, enjoy :)

"We don't have to go all night" Scott mumbled, his hands stroking together in search of warmth.

"Yes, we have to" Stiles answered, it felt more like a frown.

Outside, the moon was playing its tricks, shining down on them the right amount to make Scott feel vulnerable.

It was one of the coldest nights of the year, and they were desperately trying to climb on the rooftop of the withe house.

A foot on the kitchen window and Stiles was already halfway, blandly talking to the guy below: "We're starting Junior year tomorrow Scott, it is something we have to do".

There was no room for debate and Scott knew so he just let it slide, quickly jumping on top of the white house with a leap.

"Scott! Gentler, you're gonna wake my dad up!" her face popped from the window sideways as she smiled softly, climbing out and making her way to her friends.

Stiles finally made it to the top, panting, when he got a glimpse of her.

"Did you-oh god" a heavy breath "did you take it?" he asked, proceeding to sit down beside her.

She nodded, taking into view the bottle of alcohols she was able to steal from her father's cabinet.

The three now facing the moon as Scott opened the bottles.

"I can't believe I got dragged into this" he muttered, half smiling, the bottle cap rolling to the ground.

"Come on Scotty, it's a one time thing" Stiles pleaded.

"He's right tho, we're growing up" y/n hummed.

A moment of silence passed the three.

Right, they were growing up.

Scott and Stiles had been friends for as long as the two could remember, even tho now it felt more like they were brothers.

All they had to do was smile at each others at the end of a rather crappy day, and it clicked, they stack together.

Y/n came along later, in middle school, when she stumbled down the ally in the middle of a panic attack and Stiles found her just in time.

Calming the girl down sort of brought peace to him too.

That was the last time you remembered ever feeling alone.

It was strange how fast the two grew on you and how quickly you three started to feel like home, but it happened and you couldn't be more grateful.

The past year, with everything that brought into your lives...it was just time you three had a moment to feel normal after all you've witnessed.

"so.." you broke the silence, "Jackson's gone?"

Scott hummed, his eyes glued to the moon.

"I guess it was a wise choice" you joked, your friends smiling softly.

"I hope this year goes better than the last one" Stiles breathed, as you touched his arm softly, "it will Sti, you even got a new haircut" you joked, ruffling his hair.

He laughed annoyed, pushing you away slightly as you collided into Scott.

Scott smiled heartedly: he adored you guys, and that was enough to keep him glued to the ground at night.

As the air became quiet again, you gently took Stiles' hand in yours, stroking softly as your head rested on Scotts' shoulder:

"It's gonna be alright" you promised.

The moon was not full yet, but if you looked at it long enough you'd see her eyes shining as she laughed down at you.

It was not gonna be an easy year and deep down, you three knew too.

I love every side of the love square don’t @ me

With that said, here’s why I cannot take Ladrien salt seriously

Some idiot who hates Ladrien: The love square will only work if Marinette learns to love The Real Adrien

Ladrien hater: and The Real Adrien is Chat Noir, not the mask Adrien wears in his day to day life

Ladrien hater: Marinette’s crush on Adrien Agreste is nothing but shallowness and lies

Ladrien hater: because, as we all know, Adrien has never shown any flaws around Marinette

Ladrien hater: Getting into a huge misunderstanding with chewing gum in their very first interaction? Didn’t happen.

Ladrien hater: The umbrella scene, aka the moment that Marinette fell in love with Adrien, was because Adrien admitted to having flaws and being lost? I don’t think so.

Ladrien hater: clearly Adrien’s never shown any fears around Marinette or Ladybug

Ladrien hater: like, for example: he’d never tell Marinette or Ladybug about his irrational claustrophobia, or bring up his sadness and confusion about his mother

Ladrien hater: and he certainly wouldn’t talk about his terror that he’ll be locked away from human interaction to the point that Marinette was willing to sacrifice a super valuble book to help him stay in school because she knew how badly being stuck at home would effect him

Ladrien hater: also Adrien would never let her know about his crippling fear of messing up his friendships by just outright telling her that he’s lost and doesn’t know how to be a good friend and that it’s scary for him

Ladrien hater: because those are all examples of things that would make Marinette immediately hate Adrien. I mean, clearly, her attraction to him is surface-level only and would shatter if she found out Adrien was anything less than perfection

Ladrien hater: she desperately needs to stop fixating on the cardboard cutout version of Adrien and instead love The Real Adrien

Ladrien hater: you know, the version of Adrien when he pretends to be a cool hero who has a normal life for a teenager

Ladrien hater: The Real Adrien

Ladrien hater: because loving someone who’s smooth all the time and pretends to not fear death and is super hot and a superhero is totally different from having a crush on a pretty model

Ladrien hater: this is all black and white and any version of Adrien who’s isn’t 100% genuine is invalid and unworthy of love

Ladrien hater: and it’s fine because Chat Noir always tells Ladybug when he’s having a bad day, and would never do something so silly as hiding his hurt so that he’d look better in Ladybug’s eyes

Ladrien hater: Chat Noir, unlike Adrien, is a completely open book, who shares all of his feelings and likes and flaws with Ladybug

Ladrien haters: also, on the flip side, Adrien having a crush on Ladybug is even more shallow than Marinette’s crush on him, he needs to start pursuing Marinette instead of Ladybug

Ladrien haters: I mean, when has Ladybug ever shown flaws around Chat Noir?

Ladrien haters: Can you even imagine? How crazy would it be if Ladybug was frequently at her weakest around Chat Noir and he still loved her? Sounds fake.

Ladrien haters: when has Ladybug ever outright told Chat she’s confused or scared or in any way less than perfect? Not in Origins. Not in the every single season’s finale. Not in like half of all episodes. When has she actually shown any weakness around Chat Noir?

Ladrien haters: never. That’s the answer. From what Chat Noir’s seen, Ladybug has never been anything but strong and perfect

Ladrien haters: it’s so sad that his love for her is shallow and if he ever saw her looking anxious (Miracle Queen, Puppeteer 2, Gamer 2, Chat Blanc, etc.) or acting irrationally (Evilustrater, Vulpina, etc.) or in anyway callous (Glaciator, Vanisher, etc.) or just exhibiting any Marinette-typical flaws, then he’d just stop being infatuated, but that’s just how it works

Ladrien haters: and anyway, both Marinette and Adrien WANT the love square to flip, they WANT to be loved for their true selves

Ladrien haters: can you imagine how heartbroken Adrien would be if he found out that Ladybug was rejecting him for some fake version of himself? He’d be livid (*subtley kicks Chat Blanc under a table*)

Ladrien haters: and Marinette... hoo boy

Ladrien haters: if she found out that Adrien wasn’t interested in her because he was Chat Noir and he liked Ladybug?

Ladrien haters: I mean, of course she’d be devastated

Ladrien haters: what other possible response could she have to realizing that her crush was someone who had been supportive to her in times of need while also courting her in a super cheesy way and that he was more in love with the version of her that he met first, spent more time with, and had seen weak, than the version of her who he barely ever spoke to?

Ladrien haters: what would it even imply if he loved her more when she was just doing her best to save the world than when she was tripping over herself to impress him

Ladrien haters: I can answer that, it would mean that love is dead

Ladrien haters: I know I’d be upset if it happened to me

Ladrien haters: seriously Adrien needs to grow up

Ladrien haters: devotion to his best friend is so boring, he needs to start flirting with his other friend who he thinks is uncomfortable around him and who he’s been purposely keeping healthy boundaries around because he doesn’t want to make her uncomfortable

Ladrien haters: consent is for losers I want True Love

Ladrien haters: and even if this was a working ship, it would still be super boring to write about

Ladrien haters: I mean, two teenagers frantically hiding their secret identities from each other while trying to make a relationship work right under Hawkmoth’s nose? Idiots who are so in love they go through crazy schemes to protect the other? Where’s the plot in that? Nothing would ever happen,

Ladrien haters: and that’s why Adrien is a problematic and unhealthy ship even though the rest of the love square is perfect and has absolutely no flaws just as any good relationship does

Ladrien haters: because idealizing one facet of something to the point where you can’t see any of its flaws is unhealthy and-

Ladrien haters: wait a minute this sounds like it relates back to my argument and maybe I should think more before judging Ladrien

Ladrien haters: nah Ladrien just sucks

(you’re allowed to have your own opinions and if you don’t like Ladrien you can just block the tag or whatever but if you’re publishing your own opinions loudly and attacking people for liking Ladrien then I’m going to make fun of you because your arguments are dumb. Also happy new year, 2020 is the year of Ladrien rights)

Never attack or make fun of someone for something they’re a fan of, no matter what their age. My little brother is in the kitchen right now, using his cube toy things that you spray with water so they’ll stick together to make me a copy of Vulpina’s Miraculous charm, and if you don’t think that’s wonderful then I don’t know what to tell you.

The Pull (31/?)

Summary: The Ragnulf’s are one of the oldest lines of werewolves known. A gift from ancient times was given to the line. Though not all of the line will experience it. There are some who will experience a Pull. This Pull leads them to their true mate, a soulmate. The problem is, just because the wolf finds their true mate does not mean that they are the same for that person.

“Are you sure that this’ll work?

“You didn't have to come with me you know,” the man responds in that calm manner that so grates the nerves. 

Peter can’t help the curl of his lips,”Well, you see, Little Wolf wants to see Stiles safe which means I want to see the hyperactive boy safe. If that means having to deal with Ikeda, then that’s what we’ll do. I just want to be sure that this is what we need.”

There’s a silence that falls between the two men and Peter moves his gaze to see the veterinarian looking at him, a thoughtful look on his features. 

“What?” he growls out. 

Silent for another moment, the veterinarian offers a nod of his head, “Perhaps Talia was wrong You seem to have taken on the role of guardian quite nicely.”

Before Peter can ask what the former emissary is talking about, the doors have been opened. The two of them are escorted to the penthouse where Deaton apologizes for their tardiness.  Peter nods his head in agreement but remains silent. 

Ikeda, for his part, is not interested in apologies and informs them that he would prefer to see his wolf healed and back to normal.  Deaton nods his head and then moves towards the animal. 

He checks over the animal, lifting the head and checking its paws when Ikeda asks him, “Have you worked with wolves before?”

Holding in his scoff, Peter rolls his eyes before Deaton answers the man before him, “Here and there.” He returns to the wolf in front of him, “And what is our patient's name?”

“Yuki,” Ikeda provides. 

“Hello Yuki,” Deaton begins, “Now what have you got yourself into, my friend?”  

Checking the wolf over, Deaton checks the jaws and, before long, is asking about the unusual plant. At first, Ikeda looks worried so Deaton presses, describing the plant they are looking for in further detail. As he continues to describe it, a look of horror passes over Ikeda’s face that Peter finds almost comical. 

“If he has the poison, just treat him,” the Kumicho demands. 

“I’m sorry,” Deaton actually sounds apologetic as he says, “I can’t without knowing the species. I need a sample.”

Ikeda looks like he wants to argue with, or at least deny Deatons request so Peter speaks up, “If we treat Yuki for one strain and it turns out to be another, it could kill him.”

A moment later, Ikeda nods his head in understanding. “It’s in the garden,” he informs before looking at his men, “Shigeki, take him.”

When no one moves, Ikeda looks at the other men in the room before berating them in Japanese. “Superstitious idiots,” he mutters before walking out of the penthouse showing Deaton and Peter to the garden.

The closer they get to the garden, the itchier Peters skin becomes. His skin begins to crawl and his instincts are on high alert. He wants to leave the area but reminds his wolf that this is all for Little Wolf and that they need to suck it up. 

Once the garden doors are open, Deaton makes it to the fountain and Peter walks to the other side of it. Once he hands a jar to Ikeda, Deaton gathers some of the plant they need, Ikeda asks if they really believe that Yuki had gotten into the garden. 

Peter looks around the garden, it hasn’t been touched in years from the looks of it, before turning back to Ikeda, “Not really.”

“I’m willing to bet Yuiki stays far away from this place,” Deaton continues, I doubt if you could even drag him in. Some part of him senses what happened here.” Deaton pauses briefly as he observes the plant in his hand before saying, “To your father and the Nogitsune possessing him.” 

“Instincts tend to be annoying,” Peter smirks as the clink of Ikeda loads his gun is made. 

Ikeda places the gun against the back of Deatons head and looks at Peter who raises his hands in the air. A gesture of good faith and surrender. 

“This particular lichen is called, Letharia Vulpina,” Deaton drags the attention back to himself and Peter can’t help but wonder if the man has a death wish.

“Wolf Lichen. It was used to poison wolves and foxes. It would be mixed with meat and crushed glass, left out for the animals. The glass would perforate their intestines so the vulpinic acid could reach the internal organs faster. 

“What did you do to my wolf?” Ikeda demands as he moves his finger to the triggger.

“Don’t worry,” Peter assures the man, “Yuki hasn’t been poisoned.”

“I gave him a powerful paralytic agent. The same one I put on that jar.” Deaton points out.  Ikeda immediately tries to move and for a moment, Peter is sure that the good doctor is going to die but the agent takes effect and gun drops and Ikeda curses before falling. 

Moving over to Ikeda, Peter is able to remove the jar from his grip and hand it to Deaton who places the lichen in the jar. “Born out of the blood of a nogitsune, this lichen is quite special. More powerful than you know,” he tells the Kumicho.

“What are you going to use it for?”

Peter doesn’t give Deaton a chance to respond. Lips curled, he flashes his blue eyes, “There’s a fox hiding in my cousins mate. We’re going to kill it.”

You hadn’t found Stiles inside the hospital building so you made your way outside with a group of others. Making it outside, you were greeted by the sight of chaos. 

An electric wire is flailing around, you’re pretty sure that it’s the very one from the roof. Cars are swerving to avoid it, a few have crashed into each other and you watch as an ambulance hits a fire hydrant. People are running in different directions, away from the wire. 

You hear Kira yelling for everyone to get back and, as your gaze sweeps the sight in front of you-you see Isaac pushing Allison. She falls but a moment later so is Isaac and you scream his name at the same time that Allison does. You rush towards him but instinct stops you at the water's edge. 

You call Isaacs name again when a thumping sound catches your attention. You see Kira flipping over in the air and your heart stops for a moment as the thought that she had been hit by the wire runs through your head.

“Kira!” you call out but she lands and stands on her feet. She’s looking at the wire and reaches out, grabbing a hold of it and places her hand over the exposed wiring. She doesn’t fall and you're shocked to see that she seems to be absorbing the electricity. 

Standing there, you’re oblivious to the people around you but are pulled from your thoughts when you hear Derek's voice calling for Isaac. Looking back to where your friend was, you rush over to help Derek who has begun to check his vitals. 

He looks up and you can see the panic on his face, “He’s not breathing,” he tells you before yelling out, “Scott  he’s not breathing!”

The panic in his voice matches the panic on his face as Scott rushes inside, calling for a paramedic. Both you and Derek lift Isaac, trying to get him inside. Thankfully, someone meets you outside with a stretcher and you’re able to get Isaac situation on it. You’re following the stretcher as it’s being pushed through the halls, Allison right there with you. When you come to a set of double doors, neither of you is allowed any further. Even amongst the noise of the hospital, the closing of the doors sounds ominous, like the closing of a cell door in the middle of the night. 

You stare at the double doors for a moment as if they can give you an answer for what’s going on behind them. A hand on your shoulder steals your attention and you turn to see Allison looking at you, tears in her eyes. Pulling her in, the two of you find yourselves in each other's arms. 

“It’s going to be okay.”

“He’s gonna be fine,” the two of you reassure each other. 

Allison holds onto you and you hold onto her, afraid that if either of you lets go that you’re going to fall apart. You begin to look around for Derek or Scott when you hear something interesting. 

“I saw what you did,” a voice is saying, “NOw is not the time for anybody else to see.”

You make eye contact with Kira's mom and she stumbles for a moment before pushing Kira out of the hospital.  At that moment, you realize that, whatever she is, Kira isn’t actually sure. Her mother hasn’t told her a thing. 

“Tasha?” Allison calls, pulling your attention back to her. She’s pulled back and looking at you, “What’s wrong?”

Your gaze returns to where you had last seen Kira and her mom before you respond, “I’m not sure. But it doesn’t matter right now. This is more important.”

“It’s not Isaac then?”

“No, Kira.”

She looks shocked to hear the name but slowly nods her head before she pulls you into a waiting room. Looking around the room, you realize that this one looks exactly like the one you'd been waiting in with Scott and Derek while they did Stiles’ MRI just a few hours ago and the same as the one when they’d brought him in the night before. 

You’re not sure if it’s a psychological thing or if it’s anxiety but the room feels suffocating. You have to step back into the hallway to take a couple deep breaths. As your heart rate slows down, you decide that if you never have to set foot in another hospital again, it’ll be too soon. 

Moving back into the room, you sit next to Allison and take her hand. The two of you draw whatever comfort you can from each others presence. Though your chest is heave and the tears sit at the corners of your eyes, you refuse to allow any to fall. If you begin to cry now, you’re sure that you won’t have the energy to stop crying. 

There’s a silent understanding between the two of you to remain silent and just be there for each other. You’re not sure how long you’re sitting there but eventually, Derek and Scott are walking in. 

Once they enter, you notice that they’re alone.

“Wait, where's Stiles?” You question them. 

Scott looks at you before shaking his head, “Parrish said two people saw Roscoe leave the hospital… they’re trying to find him.” 

“As a missing kid or in relation to whatever just happened out there?” 

Scott’s silent, unsure of the answer and so, you turn a worried, questioning gaze to Derek.

Sighing, Derek comes to you and puts a hand on your shoulder. Sighing, he adjusts so that he’s looking you in the eye before saying, “We don’t know. The problem is there’s nothing concrete.”

You’re Wolf growls out and you have to fight to keep her in check, we’re leaving. 

‘We can’t’, you try to reason, ‘we don’t even know where he is!’ 

We found him before, we can do it again. 

‘And what about Isaac?’ Your mind asks and you can feel your Wolf go silent. 

Something occurs to you and you turn to Scott, “Does his dad know?”

“About him missing?” Scott tries to clarify with a furrowed brow, “Yeah, why wouldn’t he?”

“No,” you shake your head and try to clarify, “About the Kukan?” At Scott’s confused stare, you say, “The Nogitsune.”

Scott shakes his head slowly like he’s not sure of the answer and both you and Allison let out a groan. 

“You have to tell Stilisnki,” Derek tells Scott, “You have to tell him what’s really wrong with Stiles.”

Scott doesn’t look convinced so you try, “Scott, He deserves to know the entire story. If he doesn’t how can he find him?”

Sighing, Scott nods his head, “You’re right, I’ll- I’ll talk to him.” 

The Sheriff comes in and asks if he can talk to Scott. Nodding his head, Scott follows the Sherrif out as Melissa walks into the room. You watch as she squeezes her sons arm and then walks further into the room. 

As soon as Allison sees her, she’s moved over to the woman, “Will he be okay?”

She takes the girls hands in her own and says, “They’re prepping him for surgery. I’m actually about to go get prepped and head in to help out.”

“Wait, they can’t take him into surgery, his healing abilities won’t let that be a thing,” Allison points out. 

You think about earlier. Derek had said he wasn’t breathing and the medics had had to put Isaac on oxygen. The burns on his neck and it occurs to you, “He’s not healing… Is he?”

Melissa shakes her head softly, “No, he’s not.” 

“Wait, what does that mean?”

“I-I don’t know. It’s rare for a were not to heal,” you say with a shake of your head. Melissa nods and cups your face. 

Her face is apologetic when you meet her eyes but you both nod your head before she makes her way out of the waiting room. 

Scott comes in and Derek calls your name. Allison crosses to Scott and Derek, taking your elbow pulls you aside, “Do you wanna stay or go search for him?”

“Derek-” you begin but are cut off by him taking your hands in his. 

“If you go, I promise to call with any changes or if anything at all happens. If you stay, I’ll go search for Stiles myself.”

We’re leaving, your instincts remind you and you’re about to go but a muffled so\b catches your attention. 

Turning, you see Allison trying to hold herself together. Scotts trying to be there for her but he looks like he’s about to fall apart himself. You know if you asked him to, Derek would wait here and be a support for Scott. He’d try to be a support for Allison. But- Allison probably wouldn’t handle it very well and you’re willing to be that she’d be more closed off then receptive to any help. 

‘We need to stay’

We need to find Stiles 

‘Ally and Isaac need us here.’

Stiles needs us out there, your Wolf growls ou. 

Frustrated, you growled back, ‘Don’t we trust Derek?’

Your wolf is silent for a moment and you know the answer but your instincts seem to want to find a loophole. It takes a moment and you can feel your Wolf huff Unconditionally. 

The mental image you have a pouting pup makes your heart feel a little bit lighter. 

“Go find Stiles,” you tell Derek. 

He looks surprised for a moment but you motion your head towards Allison and you watch it click in his head. He nods his head and pulls you in for a hug. Kissing your head, he whispers, “We’ll find him. I promise.” 

He leaves and you go to sit with Allison and Scott. It doesn’t take long for the silence to between the three of you to become somewhat reassuring. The three of you stay there, waiting for news about your friend. 

You’re not sure how long you’re there but neither doctor nor nurse comes out with any information.  Hours later, you can feel the toll of the last few days on your body Exhaustion fills the room as you all struggle to stay awake. 

You feel Allys head against your shoulder before she suddenly jerks back up. Standing, she begins to pace back and forth in the room. 

“Ally,” you call and she stops, turning to you. “Get some sleep. We’ll wake you if anything happens,” you tell her and motion for her to sit next to you.

Silent for a moment, she looks at the door and then at you before nodding her head. “If anything happens,” she confirms. 

Once you nod your head, she sits down and gets comfortable. Before long, she’s nodded off and you and Scott remain silent for a few minutes.

“You okay?” Scott's voice is kind of groggy but it’s laced with concern. 

You look at the double doors they’d wheeled Isaac through earlier before responding, “You know, this is my fault.” Turning to look at Scott you continue, “I asked them to come by, you know? If I had asked them to come by neither of them would have been here. Isaac would be safe.”

Scott shakes his head and takes your hand “No,” he shakes his head, “This wasn’t on you. It’s on whatever is controlling him.”

“And I should have kept that from happening too,” you murmur, “A damned Nogitsune…”

“We’ll figure it out,” Scott assures you, “We’ll get him back and Issacs gonna be just fine, I promise. Now, get some rest. Like you told Allison if anything happens, I’ll wake you up and let you know.”

You refused at first, “I’d rather wait up for myself.”

Scott raised an eyebrow like he was asking you if you were sure and you merely nodded your head. He nodded his head and the two of you sat there. You must have fallen asleep at some point because the next thing you knew, you’re being woken up by someone pushing on your shoulder. 

Opening your eyes, you see Scott’s woken you up and Melissa is now in the room. 

“Hey,” she says softly as Scott moves to wake up Allison. When Allison wakes up, Melissa asks if you’ve been here the whole time. 

“Yeah, why? How longs it been?

“48 hours.” 

You stop your stretching and ask, “Is Isaac out of surgery?”

Melissa nods her head and before she can say anything else, Allison asks, “How’s he doing?”

“He’s stable. Which is normally a good thing.”

“But he’s not healing is he?”

“It’s very slow,” Melissa sighs. “From what I’ve seen he should have already healed completely but he’s just… not.”

Sighing, you rub your eyes with the heel of your hand, “What about Stiles? Have they found him yet?”

Melissa shakes her head, “They’re still looking for him but my guess is if anyone's gonna be missing for two days and turn up just fine. It’s Stiles.” 

“But he’s not fine,” you whispered. Turnin, you looked at Scott, “Didn’t you tell her?” 

“Tell me what?”

“Seriously Scott?” you growl, “Did you at least tell his dad?”

“Woah, Woah, woah, guys! I’ve been in surgery for the last couple hours. What’s going on?” Melissa calls, coming between you. 

“His dad knows,” Scott placates you before he turns to his mom and tells her about Stiles and the Nogitsune. Melissa looks a bit shocked as color drains from her face, she takes a deep breath but nods her head.

The waiting room fell to silence again but Allison asked if we could all go see Isaac.  Melissa looks around, making sure that no one’s paying attention before she nods her head and leads you out of the waiting room. 

Going down a couple of hallways, it’s not very long before the group of you are standing outside a room. She opens the door and ushers the three of you inside telling you to be quick.

Isaacs in a hospital bed in the middle of the room. The lights are dimmed and as you step in, you realize that the room is colder than the rest of the hospital. Probably a way to try and keep him comfortable. 

As you approach the bed, you can feel the pain rolling off Isaac. Without saying anything, you place your hand on his arm and watch as the black begins to crawl up your veins. 

“Tasha?” Allison questions. 

Shaking your head you don’t answer but focus on the task at hand. Isaac takes a shuddering breath as the pain in your arm begins to spike into a stabbing sensation. 

Scott realizes what you’re doing and tells Allison that Isaacs in pain.  A moment later, the stabbing in your arm subsides and you see that he’s taking on some of the pain as well. The dark obsidian in your veins becomes a more mercurial color and both you and Scott take in as much pain as you can. 

Scott's sharp gasp mirrors yours as he let’s go of Isaacs' arms. Refusing to let Isaac suffer for your mistakes, you hold onto his arm a little bit longer. Pushing air slowly through your clenched teeth before letting go. 

A gasp escapes you and you try to catch your breath. Holding onto the hospital bed you take a moment to focus on just breathing while adjusting to the pain. Looking you-you see Ally looking at Isaac like she’s trying to piece together what she just saw. 

“It won’t heal him but it helps with the pain?”

“Did Stiles really do this?” she demands. There’s a hint of concern in her voice but it’s overshadowed by anger. 

“Aly,” you call softly, “This is on me. You guys wouldn’t have been anywhere near here if it wasn’t for me.”

“Natasha,” Scott says warningly, “we talked about this. This wasn’t on you. This was whatever’s controlling him. Whatever’s inside him.”

“Well then how do we get whatever inside him the hell out of him?” the hunter demands. 

“Working on it,” both you and Scott say at the same time.
