"You want me to patrol?" Luka asked, staring down at the snake miraculous being held out to him.
Ladybug nodded. "Yeah! Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be great at it!"
That wasn't what he'd been thinking about, actually. Taking the miraculous from her hand and putting it on - something she looked oddly pleased about - he pressed, "I don't mind, but why do you want me to do it?"
The miraculous shifted into its disguised state, a light coming off to bring Sass back into existence. The kwami reclined back like he was lounging in an invisible chair, then waved a paw and replied, "Public opinion."
Luka stared, still feeling lost.
Ladybug tilted her head in Sass's direction, continuing, "It's hard for snake heroes to gain any favor from the public. Real snakes are scary for people and no one can understand your power more than you can."
He vaguely understood that. To everyone else, the snake's powers weren't particularly flashy and the only one who got to experience the reset timelines was him. He'd never particularly considered how people thought about it as he didn't really care, but he acknowledged that the two were making sense.
"I care about all my heroes," Ladybug added, putting her hands on her hips, "and I want the public to care about them too. I'm sure all you need to do is go out there, put on a little snake charm, maybe tell a few stories about your timelines, and everyone will get that Viperion does great work just like everyone else, if not greater."
He couldn't be sure if she'd added on the end because she meant it, or because she could only gauge his success rather than his time and effort. The thought that she considered him a hard enough worker that he could outpace others made him smile.
"I'll do it. Thank you, Ladybug."
She beamed. "No, thank you." She took his wrist with the bangle in both hands and lifted it to her chest level, as if reciting a prayer to it. "I have my own things to do, but I know you'll do a good job with or without me!"
He nodded obediently. "Is there anything else I should know?"
"No! Or—" She paused, pursing her lips. It was the face of someone who felt like they were forgetting something. "Mm, not know, but..."
She pulled out her yoyo, popping it open and slipping her hand inside. Her tongue stuck out to the side as she searched for whatever she was looking for, at one point putting her whole forearm in. When the movement stopped, she lit up with a delighted, "Aha!" and lifted out a folded sheet of paper. She unfolded it to give it a quick check, then happily handed it over to him.
It was a map of Paris, lines snaking across with numbered indicators and circled locations. He would've assumed it was Ladybug's that she was letting him borrow if not for the "Property of Viperion" written in the corner, both 'i's dotted with hearts.
It was cute.
Ladybug sidled up next to him, pointing to the various parts of the map to explain, "This is the quickest way to get around the city while still making sure you're being thorough. The circled spots are where you can meet with a lot of people at once; great for public image. Even Chat doesn't know these."
"Really?" Despite the teasing tone in her voice, he knew she wasn't lying.
"He doesn't need it. He's a cat and people love cats." She rolled her eyes in faux exasperation, then nudged him with a playful smile. "We snakes and ladybugs have to stick together, right?"
He smiled back. He had no idea where this whole conversation of hers had come from, but he nodded and agreed, "Right."
And with that, she was ready to go, stepping away and waving him goodbye before heading off. Luka waved back, but felt eyes on him and turned his head to see Sass staring at him with a knowing expression.
"...What?"
He learned that day that Sass hissed when chuckling.
——
Patrolling was entirely different from fighting akuma, Viperion learned. There wasn't any real tension so long as he didn't find anything, and it felt like it served a nice role in getting him further acclimated to his hero self. He could jump and travel around easily enough when he was called upon, but it didn't escape him how his jumps grew more confident and his landings more solid as time went on.
Whenever he came across a circled area on the map, he would do as Ladybug had recommended and talk to the various civilians he'd find there. Unlike what he imagined would happen with Ladybug or Chat Noir, he had to check on them first rather than being called over for pictures or comments. It didn't bother him beyond the concern that he wasn't doing as much as Ladybug asked, but he couldn't verify until he went back to her.
Time passed smoothly enough, Viperion mentally checking off the map's numbers as he went. Near the end of the patrolling path happened to be around Marinette's house too, so he was in a good mood.
He was within eyesight of the place when someone suddenly called out, "Hey, Viperion~!"
He almost faltered, looking out towards the familiar voice to see Marinette on her balcony and excitedly trying to wave him down. He smiled unconsciously, feeling the natural pull she always had on him that urged him closer, but snapped out of it when he remembered that he was Viperion at the moment. He was supposed to be a stranger to her.
Taking one more look at his map, he noted the circle - oddly enough - right around the bakery. He supposed it could've been referring to the park nearby, but regardless, he was meant to be talking to civilians and Marinette was indeed a civilian.
If it wasn't what Ladybug had in mind, he'd twist the rules just this once.
Giving Marinette a look to convey his intent, he waited for her to step back before leaping towards her, allowing him enough space on the balcony to safely land. It was equally helpful that some of the various things on the surface had been moved in such a way that he'd had a clear place to drop onto.
"Hey... citizen." Wow, that sounded bizarre. "Can I help you?"
She giggled - cute - and nodded at him. Beckoning to him, she stepped back towards the entrance to her bedroom. "Yeah. Come with me for a minute."
She was so forward about it that Viperion genuinely wondered if this was just something that happened with heroes, or only with Marinette specifically. Perhaps Ladybug had even been invited inside before?
He couldn't bring himself to refuse her, so he followed her down onto her bed, then down the stairs to the main part of her room. He watched her walk across and bend down to the chest near her chaise lounge, her hands fiddling with the latch to open it. She reached inside and pulled out something teal, but he couldn't quite see what it was with her body obscuring it.
Marinette, careful not to show him what was in her arms, walked over to a full-body mirror nearby. Finally turning to him, she held up the object and asked, "What do you think?"
Viperion's jaw dropped. There in her arms was a Viperion plush and, judging from his own reflection in the mirror, she'd even gotten the smaller details right. He got the distinct feeling that she had looked at him more than he'd looked at himself just to ensure that the plush was accurate.
"Wow, it's..." He approached, reaching out but not feeling able to touch the plush, as if he wasn't worthy of it. At Marinette's encouragement, he gingerly held one of the little arms and gave it a squish to test its softness. "This is incredible work."
"Thanks." She beamed, swaying her hips and looking pleased with herself. "I try to make one of everyone, but this one's my favorite."
He looked at her questioningly, touched yet confused, but she wasn't meeting his eyes anymore. Her gaze turning back at the chest, she gently placed the plush in his arms and returned to her collection to start pulling more of her work out.
Viperion glanced at the stuffed imitation of him, unsure of how to handle it but doing his best to give it support. Marinette must've seen him at some point while setting out plushies, given the otherwise random giggle she'd let out.
After roughly a minute, she'd finished, sitting in the middle of the two groups she'd set out and spreading her arms out above them. Indeed, there was a group of plush superheroes to one side of her and even a group of plush akuma to the other. If he really eyed their details, he could tell which had been made when she was just starting out and which she'd done recently once she had experience, but it was all equally impressive to him.
Bringing the plush with him, he sat down in front of her and let it sit on his lap. He couldn't care less what he'd looked like, too busy admiring her work. His face must've shown it without him saying anything, as she puffed her chest out like she was basking in the unspoken praise.
Then, his eyes locked on something purple, black, and out of place amongst the heroes. In any other circumstance, he probably wouldn't have focused or commented on it, but it was also of him: specifically, Silencer, his akumatized self who had relentlessly chased down Bob Roth and stolen the voices of multiple people, including Ladybug herself. Bitter memories rushed back to him of waking up after the fact and fearing what might've happened while he'd been under someone else's control, the worst being if he'd hurt Marinette in some way
"That's an akuma," he said flatly. His own tone caught him off guard, but Marinette either didn't notice or didn't mind his disdain for that particular plush.
She followed his gaze to the mini Silencer in question. Rather than realizing that she'd made a mistake, she smiled, picking up the plush and setting it on her lap. Hand resting on the soft helmet on its head, she looked at him and explained, "Yeah, but... he's a hero to me."
She couldn't keep saying things like that to him without elaboration. He could only take so much without letting his civilian self show.
Thankfully, she elaborated this time, "People at my school get akumatized all the time; sometimes right in front of me. I have to run away from them as fast as I can, because even if they're not after me, I'm still another potential target for them." She turned the plush so she could look at its face, her eyes going soft as she continued, "Silencer was the first time someone got akumatized to protect me; when I felt honored to be protected. He didn't want my attention either, he wanted to get revenge because of what Bob Roth did."
Viperion hadn't known that. He'd had a brief discussion with Marinette about something he'd apparently said, but he'd been needed on stage and couldn't finish any sort of conversation with her. It warmed him greatly, knowing that she appreciated him even as an akuma.
"Sure, he was still another one of Hawk Moth's akuma, so Ladybug had to take care of him," she acknowledged, "but I think he's a little misunderstood, like you."
"Like me?"
She nodded, bringing back her point from earlier. "That's why the Viperion plush is my favorite. You're the least popular out of everyone, but I bet you do so much work during your Second Chances. Even though you should be getting more credit for it, no one notices until you're going around—" She gestured between them, indicating their current situation. "—like this."
He grew quiet, already seeing the connection. His heart sank at the thought.
"...It's relatable," she whispered with a sad smile, her fingertips trailing across the top ridge of the plush Silencer's helmet, "not being noticed for what you can do, people seeing you at your surface level..."
Shifting, Viperion held his plush self to his chest and moved within arm's reach of her. With his free hand, he reached out, cupping her cheek to tilt her face up to him.
Quietly, but firmly, he told her, "For what it's worth, I think you deserve to be noticed for all of you, not just the part that people decide to see."
It was definitely pushing the boundaries of what he should be "allowed" to do as a hero, but at its core, Viperion thought that that's what a hero was meant to do. Saving Paris was only the surface level of what people saw heroism as: the deeper, more important part was to care for the emotional well-being of the civilians.
He'd already gone through akumatization once and he'd never wish such an experience on Marinette. Keeping her happy was a top priority for him, both before and now, regardless of how she felt about him.
Her mouth curving back into the smile he'd missed in its short time away, Marinette reached up and placed her hand over his. "Thank you. Sorry if I brought the mood down."
"This is my job—" It wasn't, not in the way she'd be thinking of anyway. "—and it's not much compared to what you did. Thanks for appreciating me."
She nodded, eyes shining with her own gratefulness. There seemed to be more that she wanted to say, but she dropped his hand and shook her head to rid herself of it. Regretfully, she admitted, "I shouldn't keep you any longer."
He nearly blurted out that she could keep him forever if she wanted, but he held back. Equally as regretful as her, he returned the Viperion plush to her waiting hands.
Marinette took it, taking the plush in her free hand and scooting out of the way. The movement left a Marinette-sized space where she'd been, which is where she decided to set the plush down. Putting the Silencer plush back where he was before, she also took the Ladybug plush and let it settle next to the Viperion one.
It left the two as the only ones in the once-empty spot.
"They look good together," she commented, looking over her shoulder at him.
He stared, not sure how to feel about his crush having an opinion on his relationship with someone else, but he didn't express it. She clearly thought highly of his partnership with Ladybug in a way no one else did, which he considered a positive.
"...Yeah." He grinned at her. "I think so too."
——
"So?" Ladybug clasped her hands together, curiosity in her eyes. "How'd it go?"
"I got to talk to people," Luka replied vaguely as he handed the miraculous back to her. His visit with Marinette had made everything else fuzzy by comparison. "There was no trouble, but there was only one person who wanted to see Viperion."
"I'm sure that'll change!" she assured, her blinding confidence thoroughly astounding him. Leaning in and grasping his shoulders, she insisted, "You deserve to be appreciated, whether that's as a civilian, a hero, or an akuma."
He went to thank her, practically overflowing with all the affection he'd received at that point, but he paused when her words truly registered with him.
Ladybug, however, didn't give him a chance to respond. She stepped away, stashing the snake miraculous into her yoyo and making her escape back out into the city with her usual wave of good-bye.
Luka was certain that he'd heard properly: she'd said akuma. He supposed it could just be a coincidence that Marinette and Ladybug had both happened to reference his akumatized self, but Ladybug's expression had hinted to him that it was more than that. It had been strange to him that Marinette's balcony had been open for him, and even more so that Marinette happened to be there like she was waiting for him. If both she and Ladybug had wanted him to feel appreciated (mission accomplished on that one, obviously), then it was possible that they'd teamed up to give him a double dose of gratitude.
Or at least, that must've been the reason, because the only other option was—
Ah.
Just like that, Luka blushed a deep shade of red, the memory of Marinette placing the Ladybug and Viperion plushies together burning itself permanently into his mind.

I wasn’t supposed to get carried away with it but I kinda did (I regret nothing)

Disappear
Warning: The following fanfic contains salt! It contains everyone's favorite Cat hero getting rejected and Marinette having her agency. And me throwing the Mari///Chat ship into the trash where it belongs!
I dedicate this fanfic to my friend who converted from Mari///Chat to Vipernette. Because we both know what the best ship ever is! (*whispers* It's Vipernette!)
Well ok, it's kind of bad for me to dedicate this to her because this fanfic sucks I apologize! This fanfic went so much better in my head but I was thinking about you when I wrote this. Enjoy and Merry Christmas!
~~~~~
If Alya were here, she would tell Marinette she was once again the luckiest girl alive.
In Paris' latest Akuma attack, she crossed paths with Chat Noir and Viperion.
Viperion was composed and always had a mysterious look in his mint green eyes as if he were always calculating.
And Chat Noir.
Chat Noir…He was certainly full of himself.
Both boys kept her safe from the latest Akuma attack, and Marinette could finally catch her breath on the top of a tall building where she saw Paris was peaceful once more.
"Looks great, doesn't it Marinette?" Chat Noir said.
Marinette turned and saw Chat Noir and Viperion illuminated by the sunset. Chat Noir was giving his best toothy grin and doing his best to outshine Viperion, who had a soft smile as he held his harp close. Marinette admitted that, in his own way, Chat Noir was indeed cute, but he didn't interest her that much.
Viperion didn't seem bothered that his black cat friend enjoyed the spotlight. He just smiled at Marinette and played a gentle tune on his harp.
Marinette smiled as she fixed her hair. "Yes, it does."
But before she could enjoy more, she felt a particular sneaky cat making a move, and she instinctively took a step back and raised her arm. Chat Noir smiled at her.
"Just so you know, I can take you home, Mari," Chat said as she summoned a red rose in his hand.
Marinette took a moment to process this and then sheepishly smiled as she took another step back. "I can walk myself home. The weather is nice."
"But it would take too long," Chat Noir held out his hand. "You won't have to lift a finger if you choose me."
Marinette didn't need to ponder that decision long as she gave him a disapproving frown. "Sorry Chat Noir!" Marinette promptly walked away but stole a glance at Viperion before trying to find the exit.
"Could've sworn Marinette was interested in me," Chat Noir unapologetically said out loud.
Marinette internally sighed. She stopped momentarily and thought about what she wanted, but she wasn't sure if he felt the same. But now was an excellent time to seize the moment.
"Viperion!"
The snake hero's heart skipped a beat as his magical harp disappeared. "Yes Marinette!"
Marinette turned with a serious look on her face. She started running, and Viperion quickly understood. Marinette jumped into Viperion's arms. The snake hero quickly used his teleportation powers, and they disappeared in front of Chat Noir. To the cat boy's surprise, Viperion summoned pink rose petals, which Chat caught with his claws.
Chat Noir realized then that he should take a hint, but still…
"Can't blame a cat for trying!"
Viperion and Marinette were giggling when they teleported to the other side of the city. Marinette clung to Viperion as he held her safe in his arms. Everyone looked so small from the height they were at. But Marinette wasn't afraid. She gave Viperion a quick hug.
"Thank you for catching me," Marinette said softly. "And taking me to a whole new point of view!"
Suddenly, the wheels in Viperion's head turned, and he smiled at her, which Marinette thought was unbelievably adorable.
"I can take you somewhere else," Viperion said.
"Anywhere," Marinette said. "As long as it's with you," Marinette continued, not even trying to hide how flirty she was being.
They disappeared again in a green flash.
~
Marinette seemed a lot more relaxed as she stretched her arms and sat beside Viperion on a stone bench, and behind them was a bunch of pink roses swaying in the breeze as the moon shone above them. Marinette could live in this moment forever, the beautiful moon, the scent of pink roses, and the gentle sounds of Viperion's harp.
Viperion could live in this moment forever too. The snake hero would always play beautiful music for Marinette, even if he could never truly be with her because he is a hero. But as Marinette got tired and rested against him, Viperion smiled down at her and wondered. Why did she choose him?
Viperion's gentle harp filled her ears as she drifted off to sleep. Marinette didn't want to fall asleep at such a beautiful moment. Still, at the same time, if she was slipping and falling into beautiful dreams, then it felt right.
"You're amazing, Viperion," she mumbled as she closed her eyes.
Viperion gasped as he wrapped his arm around her to keep her secure. He ran his fingers through her shiny blue hair as she smiled and sighed while sleeping. It was the most beautiful music Viperion had ever heard. Still, he had to keep Marinette safe during the dark nights.
"I'll take you home, Marinette," he whispered.
He picked her up bridal style and used his powers to teleport into her bedroom. It was dark except for the moonlight shining through the balcony window, but still incredibly safe and filled with Marinette's creations. He gently laid her on her bed before pulling the lamp chord on her nightstand. Viperion smiled as Marinette looked like she was having the best sleep of her life, and he gently removed the strands of her hair from her face.
Viperion turned off the lamp as he decided to leave her to rest. But Marinette stirred in her sleep and rolled over, her smile a bit wider as she continued sleeping.
Viperion couldn't bring herself to leave her right now, and he summoned his harp and played her one last song. His magical musical notes circled Marinette and filled her entire room. He played longer than he should have and still felt melancholy when the song he created had to end. But he would play more music for Marinette and always be there for her, especially since she chose him. And he couldn't just walk away and forget about the beautiful melody that always supported him.
Viperion walked to the balcony door and looked at the full moon before turning to Marinette one last time.
"Goodnight Melody," he said before disappearing in a green light.
Marinette's dreams were full of magical melodies and adventures with the handsome snake hero. Still, Viperion couldn't help himself and teleported a pink rose in her hand before leaving again.
The beautiful music and the scent of a pink rose made this a night Marinette would never forget. Viperion held a single pink rose in his hand as he watched all of Paris as the stars sparkled above him.

I am here to politely ask for deets on the Vipernette Moment WIP. Vipernette owns my heart and soul. I can't help it.
Oh man me too for sure 😁
This is part of my Moments series which are really just soft moments of rest.
“Ready, buddy?” he whispered. When Sass nodded back, he said the quiet words to transform, thankful he was in a different room from Marinette so the flash of magic wouldn’t bother her. He’d be taking the balcony exit—an extra precaution that Marinette had insisted on when they’d gotten the apartment together, but Luka was glad for it now. There were more than enough reasons to be cautious now. 
Before he left, though, he walked to the bedroom door to check on her. She was still fast asleep, on her back, the just-visible 16-week bump of her stomach rising and falling evenly. He couldn’t help but smile at the sight. They hadn’t been married long, and already they were starting their family together. He was a father. The love of his life was having his child. 
He was drawn to her side and knelt beside her, stroking her hair back from her face as he slid his other palm under the swell of her stomach. There wouldn’t be movement he could feel for months still according to Marinette, but he liked to imagine that the little life under his hand could feel his touch and know how loved they already were. 
As if to reinforce the point, he bent to press a kiss to Marinette’s forehead. She was starting to run hot in her sleep and her forehead was clammy under his lips. He lingered for a moment, pressing his forehead to hers, hoping she knew how much he loved her, too. 
When he pulled back, her gorgeous blue eyes had opened and she yawned before she wove her fingers through his over her stomach. 
“You woke him up,” she said, smiling in a bleary, wistful way. 
“Her,” he corrected, grinning.

LBSC Smooch Roulette
Tumblr media
This is just a fun little prompt challenge we put together! There's no length limit and no deadline, so you can come back to this any time you want! Art and writing are both welcome. Please tag @lovebugs-and-snakecharmers in your Lukanette posts for this challenge, so we can reblog your post here and add it to our master list. We also have an AO3 collection here where you can add your works if you prefer to post there. We hope you all have a blast playing Smooch Roulette!
You're welcome to join our LBSC discord server for more Lukanette events or just to hang out and chat. (If the link expires or you have any issues, feel free to drop us an ask and we'll send you a fresh one.)
How it works:
We have our prompts divided into three categories. The first is a type of kiss, the second is a location, and the third is an identity pairing. For this challenge, you will choose one item from each category (or from as many or as few categories as you like; we're flexible). You can either choose from the list yourself, or you can let fate decide:
Here's an online random number generator you can use. Remember to set your max number according to the instructions below.
Step 1. Type of Kiss. Generate a random number between 1 and 71. Step 2. Location of Kisses. Generate a random number between 1 and 65. Step 3. Identity of Kissees. Generate a random number between 1 and 18. Step 4. Find your numbers in the chart above to assemble your prompt. For example, if your numbers are 2, 3, and 5, your prompt will be "palm kiss," "by the Seine," "Viperion x Marinette." So your challenge would be to write or draw a Vipernette palm kiss where some part of the story/scene takes place by the Seine.
Bonus: For an extra challenge, you can roll your random number generator again to select an AU (1-6) and/or mood (1-5) for your prompt!
Rules
This is meant to be fun and inspiring! If you don't like your first random prompt, generate another! If you don't feel like dealing with a category, skip it. We want you to challenge yourself, but enjoy yourself as well, and if that means you need to bend the guidelines a little bit, go for it!
This is a Lukanette blog and a Lukanette event, so while Lukanette does not need to be the main ship, it needs to at least be included or referenced and considered endgame (in other words, they don’t have to be together by the end of your work, but the intent is that they’re headed in that direction). The decision about what qualifies for reblog rests solely with the LBSC moderators. If a piece hasn’t been reblogged within a couple of days, either the mods felt the piece didn’t meet the criteria or it was simply missed; you are welcome to reach out in the asks to inquire which. There are plenty of other spaces out there for other ships and OT3s, and people are welcome to use the challenge rules and prompts to write for their own ships! They just won’t be reblogged to the LBSC blog, and we ask that you please not use the event tag (a modified form is fine - “InsertAlternateShipName smooch roulette challenge” instead of “LBSC smooch roulette,” for example).

Lukanette vipernette 💓
I'm sure I've shared this one before but I haven't added to it in a really long time. 😆 The basic idea behind this was Lukanette square shenanigans, except Luka knows Marinette is Ladybug so he's basically taking every opportunity to flirt with her and say to her as Viperion all the things he wants to say but can't as Luka. Because he knows that she knows who he really is so he feels safe flirting in both forms. He's having fun playing up the romantic masked hero angle while knowing that she knows it's really him so there can't be any harm done. He only flirts with Marinette, not Ladybug, so--all the romantic spoiling, none of the angst of 'but now I'm in love with two guys' or 'does he really love me or is he into LB' so that when he finally comes clean there's no drama. (Sorry angst lovers. plants my flag atop Fort Fluff)
The battles were getting harder. With Mayura’s help, Hawkmoth was far more dangerous. More than once they had only been saved by the unexpected and unexplainable failure of Mayura’s powers. But they couldn’t count on that; any battle could be the one where Mayura’s powers held strong. More and more often Ladybug and Chat were forced to call on backup. Battles were taking longer, meaning one or more of the team would have to take a break from the battle to recharge before coming back to fight on. 
Viperion pelted across the rooftops, panting, heading for a particular alley that he knew he needed to reach before it was too late. He dropped three stories just in time to grab a familiar pigtailed figure and press her between himself and the wall, shielded by an outcropping in the building next to them. “Shh, don’t make a sound,” he hissed, and the girl practically stopped breathing. “Whatever happens, don’t move. I’ve got you.” Viperion kept watch on the mouth of the alley, counting seconds. He only got to three before the sentimonster came crashing through. Viperion flinched but held strong, knowing the monster would continue its destructive path past them. Everything played out as he knew it would, only this time the sentimonster didn’t see the girl in the alley, shielded as she was between Viperion’s dark suit and the wall. He clenched his teeth as a few chunks of debris hit his armored back, and winced as a piece knocked into his head. None of them reached the figure he sheltered, though, and he breathed a sigh of relief, stepping back as the monster moved on. He stepped back, rubbing his head. “Ow,” he muttered. 
“Are you all right?” 
Viperion gave a rueful smile at the girl he’d just rescued. “I’ll be fine, it was just a small rock. Stings though. What about you, are you okay?” He touched her face, checking her over. Without the protection of her transformation, he’d seen her badly injured by the sentimonster’s rampage. 
“I’m fine, thanks to you,” Marinette said, putting a hand on his arm. “Thank you, Viperion.”
“Hold on to me,” he said, picking her up. She didn’t question him the way a normal civilian would, just put her arms around his neck and locked her legs around his waist. He calculated his path up the building and leapt, keeping one arm around Marinette’s back as she clung to him. He hopped along the roofs with her until he found one that he deemed safe for her to use to transform back, and set her down.
“I’m sorry, I don’t have a lot of time. I have to leave you here,” he said gently. Of course, he knew the second he was out of sight she would transform and swing herself back to the battle, but she didn’t know he knew that. “One of us will come back and get you once the Akuma’s defeated. Please be safe. What’s your name?”
“Uh--M-m-Marinette,” she stammered, and he smiled. He would wonder for weeks what possessed him in that moment, if it was that familiar stammer or something else that made him lean close. 
“You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever met,” he breathed. Marinette’s eyes widened and her face flamed red. “I hope we meet again, Marinette.”
Then he turned away and leapt back towards the battle, so she couldn’t see the grin on his face. 
When Ladybug came to retrieve his Miraculous after the end of the battle, she was blushing under her mask. Luka pretended not to notice.

I have an older Ladybug doll atm but my plans are getting a newer one as well as Marinette, Luka and Viperion so I can make Lukanette, Vipernette and ViperBug a reality. And probably a Lady Noire one so I can also make LukaNoire happen 😆

Marinette couldn't help being concerned whenever she saw Viperion fight akuma on TV. Given all the times they'd spoken to each other, she knew well enough that what she saw was only a fraction of what he actually experienced.
So naturally, when he showed up on her balcony looking like he'd kicked a puppy, she was worried sick.
"Viperion!" She jumped up from her bed to hurry onto her balcony, leaning every possible way to look him over without touching. "Are you okay? Is something wrong? Are you hurt?!"
"I'm fine," he assured, though his tone didn't match it, "but..."
His hands went up to grab at the jacket he had on - the one she'd made for him - and slowly remove it, holding it out to her with a look of shame on his face.
Marinette paused, confusion overriding the concern. She stared at the jacket, trying to decipher what he was trying to tell her, then glanced back up at him. "What is it?"
"I'm sorry." He turned it slightly, holding it with one hand so he could point with the other. "I wasn't fast enough to stop it."
She grew even more puzzled now that she knew that there was apparently nothing wrong with Viperion himself. She squinted at the jacket, needing a few seconds to finally notice what he must've been talking about.
His magic bodysuit didn't show the same of course, but there was a notable rip in the jacket. All things considered, she would've called it absolutely tiny for the kind of work he did, yet he looked as if it'd been torn beyond repair.
"Can you fix it?" He frowned regretfully. "I hate that I have to ask so soon. I couldn't keep it safe."
Marinette opened her mouth, then exhaled instead of speaking. A small smile came to her face, realizing that she wasn't the only one who reacted like this when things happened.
"Come on in," she said, gesturing to beckon him inside. She dropped back down onto her bed, then walked down the stairs to get to her computer chair.
She heard his footsteps up above, then behind her as she slid over to her sewing supplies. She looked over her shoulder, hand extended towards him, and he was still pouting as he gave her the jacket back.
"It's just a little tear," she pointed out, bringing her fingertips to the rip to show that she couldn't even shove them through. "It's not a big deal. Besides, isn't it the akuma's fault?"
"I could've been more careful," he argued. "I thought I could keep it from getting torn up."
Gosh, it was like looking in a mirror. Marinette shook her head in disbelief, trying to bite back a smile as she reminded herself that this was incredibly soul-crushing for him.
She set the jacket down on the table so she could face him fully with freed hands. "I'm just happy that you like it enough to wear it around."
"I don't regret that," he said immediately, hands on his hips, "but I don't want to take up your time with a basic fix job."
"You can come whenever you want, even if it's not ripped."
His face colored. She tilted her head at the reaction before it registered what she'd really said. Suddenly, her face mirrored his.
She went to clarify, but he spoke first, asking, "Really?"
"Really?" she echoed, noticing that his expression had brightened. He looked surprised and even a bit... hopeful?
"Even if I'm not coming for the jacket?" he wondered.
"Of...of course," she replied tentatively. When he beamed at her in response, she wondered, "Does something so simple make you that happy?"
"You already gave me a jacket, and now you're even letting me - a superhero - into your world like you really want me here. If that's simple, then I like simple."
"Yeah, but—like you said, you're a superhero!" She waved a hand dismissively. "Why would you want to come here when you're - you know - superheroing?"
He frowned. "Why not?"
She swallowed at everything that must have to have gone unsaid in such a question. Viperion said it with such intensity that she knew he meant it; he saw no reason not to come visit her.
"Then... okay." She nodded, turning back to work on the jacket as an excuse not to look at his warm smile. "You can come any time you want, as long as my parents don't see you. They'll ask a lot of embarrassing questions."
"Oh, I'll be careful then," he promised. "And... thank you, Marinette."
"H-hm?" She'd barely put in a stitch by the time he'd said that. "I'm not even done yet?"
"No. I mean, for everything."
She blushed, fingers twitching before she put down the jacket again. Getting up from her chair, she faced him only in the process of turning around to walk past him. "I-I'm going to get some drinks and snacks for us."
Their smiles matched as she headed downstairs.

Oooooh Ari for the requests...can we see viperion and Marinette??? In an action sequence??? Like with him carrying her off at a sprint?? Or catching her and leaping away???
Sorry for the very long wait @blacklicoriceaddict !! I finally finished your request (more than one year and 1000 followers later ;v;). Tbh, I left this one for last because I knew I would get carried away with it (and I wasn't wrong).
Thank you for your patience. I hope you like it 💙

Me musing about Vipernette
There is just something so aesthetically pleasing about sea foam green and bubble gum pink together.

VIPERNETTE FANFIC
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Miraculous Ladybug!" Ladybug shouted, as she fought against the akumatized villain with the help of Viperion and Chat Noir. The battle was intense, as the villain's powers were strong, but the trio managed to work together and successfully defeat the villain.
As Ladybug prepared to detransform, she noticed Viperion eyeing her intently. "Bug out," she said, before leaving the scene. As soon as she detransformed into Marinette, she couldn't help but feel a pang of regret that she was no longer Ladybug. She was safe, but she missed the thrill of being a superhero.
Later that night, as Marinette's parents were out of the house, she sat on her balcony admiring the night sky. Suddenly, she heard someone address her. "Hello Mari." She turned around and saw Viperion standing there, looking dapper in his superhero suit.
"Sorry, I just wanted to check up on you. I didn't mean to startle you like that," Viperion said in his smooth, velvety voice. They stood silently for a while, watching the stars twinkle.
"You know Mari, the moon is looking beautiful isn't it," Viperion said, breaking the silence. Marinette was confused by his statement, but Viperion continued. "Indeed, everything has meaning," he said with a slight smile. Before Marinette could respond, Viperion's miraculous beeped, signaling that he needed to leave.
But before he left, he leaned in and whispered, "It means I love you," and planted a soft kiss on her cheek. Marinette blushed as Viperion left, feeling a jolt of electricity running through her entire body.
Days passed, and Marinette and Viperion's relationship blossomed. They went on patrols together regularly, and Marinette found herself falling more and more in love with him. However, she was hesitant to bring up her feelings as she didn't want to jeopardize their friendship.
One day, Viperion surprised Marinette with a picnic in the park. As they sat on the blanket, sharing food and laughs, Viperion turned to face Marinette, his eyes glistening in the sunlight. "Marinette, I need to tell you something," he said, taking her hand in his.
Marinette's heart fluttered as she waited for his words. "Ever since the day we fought that akumatized villain together, I've been in love with you. You're the bravest, most beautiful person I know, and I can't imagine my life without you," Viperion said, his eyes never leaving Marinette's.
Overwhelmed by emotion, Marinette flung herself into Viperion's arms and planted a deep, passionate kiss on his lips. They pulled away, both smiling at each other.
From then on, they were inseparable. Marinette and Viperion fought crime together as a team, but their love for each other only grew stronger with each day. They would always cherish the moments they spent together, and they knew that their love would last a lifetime.

What about Vipernette Moment💗
I answered this one here too, but I do have a little more of it 😁
Still, he could afford one or two more moments if it meant memorizing the way Marinette's lips curved into a smile as she slept and the way her arm had curled instinctively around their unborn child. He wanted to remember every dark rivulet of hair spilled across their pillows like ink and the way her weight settled into the mattress like she'd always slept there. 
And the way the ring on her left hand caught the scant light from the other room and glinted at him for the briefest moment.
