The Gift of Jubilation - (Pigella & Chat)
(and those who no longer receive it)
Porcalina had no trouble in using her gifts. Under another holder, the Miraculous of the Pig might be seen as an insult or as ineffective in battle, but Porcalina considered it much more like a party trick, and she reserved no qualms about it. When not using it for distractions, Porcalina liked to exchange her gifts like fortunes throughout her teammates, touting herself as a seer who could predict their most wanted future, whether said future be years beyond or the very next morning.
"I can always try again," she comforted Chat Noir. "I swear it's probably something I'm doing wrong. This doesn't usually happen."
Porcalina took her tambourine in hand and begun to sing. This was a necessary part of the process: She channeled the domain of Jubilation through reverent song, remarking to others that her Miraculous would guide how she sang and what syllables and half-words would echo around her. It was never anything resembling a spoken language, at least to Chat Noir's own knowledge, but it seemed to change depending on the person she was divining for. Ladybug would always be sung to in an innocent C Major full of princessy trills and ornaments; Renared's song was a calm B Dorian, and CARA.PACE's was E Locrian with many stops and starts. Many of them were in those more obscure modes, some forgoing classification entirely... And Chat half wondered if it was because the Miraculous itself knew Chat was analyzing each note Porcalina sang to find a pattern and was trying to throw him off its path.
But Chat's song was, like Ladybug's, in a regular key. Multiple, in fact. Porcalina would keep a steady beat on her tambourine and start in a brooding, ghostly D# minor. Porcalina's chants would break in form, often sounding like the grieving wails of a young mother, and then just as they started she would bow her head further and return to low chants and humming. Porcalina kept her eyes shut during these sessions, relaxing all her body so that she could be a true vessel to the whims of Jubilation, and with every sharp breath she would seem to rock back and forth in her seat. Then it would switch to a minor B, hesitant in its patience and spilling in shaky half-words off Porcalina's lips. Now the light which the world kept hiding in little corners would fly in and gather around the seer, enveloping her in a faint ring much like the shape of her tambourine cymbals. And as Porcalina would be tossed back and forth by that which she channeled, the ring would move to accommodate her, much like the rings of rock and dust that surround Saturn... or perhaps even a halo for some sleeping giant far below the rooftops of Paris, far beneath the ground. An omen that Porcalina as the augur she was was simply as much a pawn in the schemes of Gods as any of them were.
As she finished her incantations, Porcalina broke out into her final key: A♭ Major. Key of judgement. Key of the grave. And once her voice has swelled to its loudest... she sighed as if nothing had ever happened, and opened her eyes.
"There," she said, setting down the tambourine and guiding the light surrounding her with her hands. Her arms seemed to wade through the air as she gathered her vision, placing each shard of glimmering light into its place on a sphere the size of her head. "And now, if I did everything right this time..."
There was nothing.
Like the last three times before it, Porcalina had divined that Chat Noir's deepest wish was.... nothing.
Porcalina furrowed her brows, bringing the sphere closer as if the answer she wanted was simply one that was too small to otherwise see. "I mean... Perhaps this is a good sign? Maybe you have everything you could ever want?"
Chat stared at her blankly. Even the teammates he'd known for years could tell that such a statement was laughably untrue. After his short absence from the team, Chat had grown bitter and silent, with deep lines carved onto his face that made him seem much older than the others than he truly was. Hell, he hadn't even gone out of his way to request Porcalina divine for him because he simply couldn't care—His new demeanor was hardly that of someone who had everything he wanted.
"I told you there's no point in it," he spoke to Porcalina. The way his bangs hung over his face seemed to cloak his eyes in shadow, dulling even the bright green of his irises to a shade too dark to determine. And that was all he said to her before standing up and walking away to the edge of the rooftop.
Ladybug approached Porcalina from behind, placing a kind hand on the girl's shoulder. "Still nothing?" she asked.
"Yeah. ...It's almost like it doesn't work on him at all," Porcalina sighed. "Or maybe he just doesn't have anything worth wishing for."
Chat could hear them talk behind his back; They did it often, but not once did it go unheard. And she was right to think he didn't wish for anything anymore. He found no joy in it. Only the aching feeling that maybe, there was once something he had wished for... that he was no longer allowed to remember.

I am absolutely OBSESSED with tweos and claudrien, but I have to ask: is there anyone in canon you actually ship Adrien with? Love square or otherwise (especially otherwise). Or is everyone else just meh?
Can’t wait for more tweos updates btw!!!!!!
YEAHHHHHH CLAUDRIEN NATION GAINS A NEW CITIZENNNN (follow me so i can add you to the roster bestie <3)
I don't think I will ever be 100% down for any of the lovesquare lol. I'm not really sure why? Cause I used to think it just didn't have the 'right drama' to it, but then you see fics like FaOLL and they give it that and it's just... still not it to me? Maybe the lovesquare just needs homoerotic/cannibalistic vibes for me to be into it XD
As for other canon... Adribrina has grown on me. This is entirely @generalluxun and @lazyartist16s's doing, I will admit. If I can't have my boy be a melodramatic freak, then I'll at least let him be cute and adorable with someone who would truly appreciate him. Also it's a fellow cat/dog ship, so I physically, legally have to stan.
ok ok as for updates: it's been a long time coming because ch52 is heavy, and i've gotten stuck on a few things chief of which is I'm not sure how directly I want to describe gabriel lashing out at adrien. it's not for very long, buuuuut considering how difficult the Valentine's Day WIP is, I definitely have a lower tolerance for writing skin-crawling stuff than I think. (I think the relative ease that I churned out Ch37 is the cause of this delusion lol)

claudrien breakup is legitimately so funny to me cause like.
adrien deals with it by splaying himself out on a fainting couch like he's in an Austen Novel, holding a bottle of Prosecco by the neck, and wistfully monolouging:
"Was love ever real, Plagg? Or is it merely an illusion of hearts, meant to shield us from the bitter cold of our life's solitude~? Alas! Even if such were the case, I shall let myself fall into it regardless, for all of man's existence has been to fight and succumb to our vices..."
But Claudia's like "yeah fuck mourning this breakup i'm asking my boss for more hours and getting on that GRIND."

Is your Adrien allergic to Peacock feathers...lol how's that work with Peahen(female Peacock) Claw's(Do feel like typing up her whole name) if so?
Nope! I kind of hate the whole feather allergy thing (so much so I even lampshade it in the fic by making it an obvious lie that Adrien tells to explain the uh... unusual amount of used tissues in his bedroom trashcan, iykyk), so he is very much not.
I could see it eventually being his excuse for why he starts to act so different around her. No, no, his face is red around Pavino because of fever! He's allergic! Clearly! ...no other reason.
also, on a related note: Pavino being the Spanish masculine form was intentional! I swear hearing somewhere that Mayura was actually the Sanskrit masculine form for "Peacock" (and the feminine form is "Mayuri"), and I actually kind of dig it? Pavino just fits Claudia better imo than Pavina, and if Cynic is any indication, Claudia doesn't shy away from being masculine (some of her other forms I have in mind, such as BugBite and Ballbuster/Longhorn*, are incredibly superhumanly tall and muscular, just because Claudia wanted it that way)
*Ox Miraculous.

for a while, the TWEOS parallel to the New York Special was simply that Adrien wasn't allowed to go on the school trip and he just stayed home (and this was before he met Claudia so obviously no her).
...and yet.
i an beginning to wonder if it would be neat to write a spinoff one-shot/AU^2 of sorts with Adrien and Claudia in NYC. i have some ideas

[At Claudia's window for the fourth night in a row]
Adrien: [talking at the window]....Sure, maybe you broke up with me and said you never wanted to see me again.
Adrien: ..........But there's someone you forgot to break up with.
Chat Noir: Me.
Chat Noir: In cat ears.
