Tired Ladybug is cuddly Ladybug, and tonight is no different. She hugs him tight and leans in close, sniffing his hair. For a moment she sits there, just humming contently, before she speaks.
“I wish I could kiss you”, she whispers into his ear. He looks up, surprised, and stops petting her back. There’s an angry snort from her, so he continues.
“You can”, he says quietly. “If you want.”
“No,” she says, sadness in her voice. “I want to, so much. But you’re in love with me.”
“Is that a problem?”
His breath hitches as she ponders the question.
“Usually not”, she answers finally. “It’s nice, actually. You’re good at it. But me, I’m, well…”
“In love with someone else”, he finishes for her. She nods.
“So if I kiss you, that would be a promise I can’t keep”, she whispers, as she runs her hands through his hair. “You deserve better kisses than I can give you. A shame, too, I really like kissing you.”
She goes back to humming contently, as her words burn in his mind. Finally, he turns to her.
“What if… I just grab you and kiss you? You don’t do anything, you just let it happen? We get our kiss, and you don’t get any of the guilt.”
She opens her eyes, and looks at him, his lips, just centimetres from hers. Her breath intermingles with his, and it would be so easy, just a little twist of the head.
“Sorry, kitty cat”, she says finally. “It doesn’t work like that. Especially not when you announce it. Thanks for trying, though. I appreciate it. We should be making out on these rooftops. That’s what they’re here for.”
He wonders about this for a second. So if he hadn’t asked, if he just–no, forget that. He’ll always ask for permission first. Besides, she’s sleepy and loopy, and she doesn’t know what she’s saying, not really.
“Find yourself someone to kiss who won’t break your heart”, she says, before a light snore tells him that she has dozed off. Oh, Ladybug, how he’d like to do that! But everything she’s said has made it impossible once more.

Pre-reveal, post-relationship lovesquare is so insane if you think about it. You have Adrinette who are in a happy committed relationship but are both internally panicking about the fact that they keep a secret identity hidden from their beloved boy/girlfriend. You have Ladrien, where Ladybug is pining away secretly for the boy she’s already dating and Adrien can’t understand why his heart feels weird whenever he’s around his good friend and partner (that he definitely doesn’t have unresolved feelings for). You have Marichat where Chat Noir is struggling not to show his heart eyes to his girlfriend, while Marinette is doing her utmost to make sure she doesn't tell him she still thinks about their kiss (for absolutely no reason at all). And then you have Ladynoir who keeps having arguments over who has the better boy/girlfriend and who loves them more and at the same time are certainly not feeling jealous because they are very happy for their partner to be in a committed relationship with someone who isn’t them, yep completely and totally happy...

I think we all overestimate (including myself) how much the party would notice Steve and Eddie being into each other. Or how the things they do aren’t strictly platonic. Like they are all traumatized and codependent. They would probably think “this looks weird to other people but not to us. Everyone else just doesn’t get it.” All of them have either anxious attachment styles or avoidant ones. And both in the very extreme. So Steve and Eddie going from drastically hot and cold makes sense to all of them.
These two boys are absolutely floundering trying to figure out each other, and the party is just like “yes, yes this is normal. Just traumatized bros being bros”. Especially the boys. The girls (max and el) probably are a bit more suspicious about it but considering their upbringings and the horrible journey of puberty they are still navigating, they assume it’s just not something they are used to/understand. Also let’s not forget it’s the 80s, where yes gay people exist (so many people pretend like they don’t, like why???), it was an extremely tense time to be queer (ie, satanic panic and the aids crisis), so people weren’t as open about it especially in Indiana, so these kids probably don’t just assume what their surrogate father figures are doing is anything but friendly.
The only person that would actually notice is Robin. Not the party, not the adults, not Murray (although this one is hilarious). But Robin.
For two obvious reasons. One, platonic soulmates duh. Steve probably rants about how Eddie hasn’t talked to him three days and he doesn’t understand why, and he misses him and she probably thinks “oh my god he’s so dumb.” The second reason being she’s gay™️. And just like most queer kids, she looks way too deeply into the slightest homoerotic thing. Every thing Eddie and Steve do, she has a full essay as to why that means they are in love.
And despite her clocking it, when Steve finally admits her feelings about Eddie to her she thinks “holy shit I can’t believe I was right.”
——
I love the everyone knows they are into each other but themselves trope, but oblivious party trope is also hilarious to me

jasico server was chatting about the cupid scene and jason getting nico's memories blasted straight into his brain and how jason being shot with one of cupid's arrows while with nico and this was just never brought up in canon again and now i'm thinking like...what if that's just how cupid's arrows work? not by magically manifesting love for someone out of nothing, but by giving someone the perspective that'd make them fall in love naturally? jason gets a front row seat to nico's memories and instantly understands him intimately and can trust him completely without any doubt or suspicion
so what if jason, after slowly realizing he's totally in love with nico, just thought back to the arrow incident and it made him second-guess everything? because maybe he's only feeling this way because cupid hit him with an arrow with only nico was around and it's no different than any other god messing with his love life
#i live for anything that drags out the pining/pre-relationship period as long as possible okay#give me the drama of jason frustrated about constantly being manipulated by gods#in love with nico but convinced it's just cupid fucking with him and not wanting nico to get dragged into it#maybe telling nico eventually because he's having trouble hiding his feelings and he doesn't wanna hurt nico by confusing him#which is of course an emotional rollercoaster for nico#hearing jason say he's in love with him only to then immediately hear that it's just godly fuckery#nico agreeing to help jason find cupid to get it reversed because he knows how much it sucks having feelings for someone unwillingly#and he doesn't want jason stuck mooning over someone like him just because he was unkucky enough to be with nico for the cupid incident#whole quest in which nico develops feelings in return and angsts because he's sure jason only feels that way because of the arrow#maybe a slip-up in the middle somewhere with nico accidentally revealing he likes jason back before backpedaling wildly#so now jason has hope despite himself because he'd never really thought it was possible anyway given nico's feelings for percy#and he doesn't like being manipulated by gods but he doesn't mind the idea of being in love with nico#and what if he just gave up on the hunt for cupid entirely and let it happen#while nico feels guilty since clearly it's just cupid arrow magic fucking with jason and he's enabling it#and then of course when they finally find cupid he explains how his arrows work and that he can't just FORCE someone to be in love#no more than hera could with jason and piper by fucking with their memories to push them together#cupid's methods are just way more effective#my tag babble ended up longer than the actual post oh my god#pjo#jasico#my dumb headcanons

“I don’t think you could get everyone to agree to that. But I do think everyone would do it if you seriously annoyed them into it.” Nami said, wondering what the others would look like with painted lips. She shivered. “Food for thought.”
“Can Nami put some on me?”

What If
Andd day 16 is done now :). Another short lil post-relationship, pre-reveal Adrienette chapter. I hope you like it <3. Lemme know what you think!
AO3
“What do you think would have happened if we never found each other?” Adrien murmured softly. They were at her computer, playing Ultimate Mecha Strike for what had to be close to the millionth time.
“Ha! Impossible!” Marinette waved off his comment. The idea of her having never met Adrien was too crazy to think about. She had always been destined to meet him.
He paused the game and she turned to look at him, blinking in slight surprise.
“I’m serious. What if we had never met?”
She shook her head, her pigtails swaying as she did so. “And I’m telling you that it’s an impossible question. I was always going to meet you.”
“Come on, Marinette.” Adrien chuckled, scratching the back of his neck. “What if we had been in different classes or different schools?”
Marinette frowned slightly, taking a moment to think. The first scenario seemed very unlikely for them to have never met but the second... the second seemed quite a bit more likely.
Slowly, she began to word her thoughts, “I think I still would have met you quite easily even if we had been in different classes. After all, I know both Marc, Aurore, and Zoé and they’re in different classes.” Adrien tilted his head in agreement with her point. “Different schools might be a bit trickier but we had that field trip to New York once so I’m sure eventually we’d have had a trip together or something that connected our two schools.”
Marinette beamed over at him after finishing that last sentence. After all, the thought of having never met Adrien just seemed inconceivable. Besides, she was Ladybug, so she’d certainly have to save him at one point or another. But, she couldn’t exactly just say that. As much as she may want to.
“Alright, fair enough.” Adrien chuckled, leaning back in her chair as he popped one of the macaroons her parents brought up for them in his mouth. “But what if my father had never allowed me to go to school at all? How would we have met then?”
She hummed lightly, nibbling on her lip in thought once again. This was also a fair bit trickier. But then, she snapped her fingers. “Fashion!” Marinette practically shouted.
“What?” he asked, his brow creasing with confusion. “What do you mean?”
“Well,” she dragged out. “I’m destined to be a fashion designer and you would be a model working for Gabriel Agreste. Our first meeting would be legendary!” She sent him a goofy grin.
“Ahh, but you’re forgetting. I’m not a model anymore,” he teased.
“Adrien, sweetheart, I love you.” Marinette reached over, placing her hand over his, practically melting into a big puddle when his eyes softened at the touch. “But if, in this alternate universe, your father was keeping you from school, then I’m certain he’d force you to continue modeling forever.”
Adrien opened his mouth, surely about to say something before he closed it with a quiet, dumbfounded laugh. “You know what, I think you’re right. I was only able to stand up to my father in the first place because of you.”
She squeezed his hand, trying to bring the smile back to his face. “Not to worry, of course, once we met, I would swoop in and save you from your modeling career. Maybe I’d get you a job at the bakery or something.” Marinette giggled.
Adrien grinned, a warmth spreading through him at Marinette's words. "A job at the bakery, huh? I could get used to that."
Marinette laughed, her eyes sparkling with affection. "Just imagine, you in an apron, covered in flour, trying to bake pastries."
"I think I'd make a mess of it," Adrien admitted with a chuckle. "But if it's with you, I'd give it a try."
They sat there, enjoying each other's company, the game paused forgotten on the screen. It was moments like these, simple and sweet, that made them cherish their relationship even more.
"Hey, Marinette," Adrien said softly, breaking the comfortable silence.
"Yeah?" Marinette turned to him, her gaze filled with curiosity.
"I'm glad we found each other," he said, his voice sincere. "No matter how crazy the 'what ifs' are, I'm just happy we're here, together."
Marinette's heart fluttered at his words, a smile spreading across her face. "Me too, Adrien. Me too."
He leaned over, pecking a kiss against her lips that had her smiling into his mouth. She wrapped her arms around his neck, tugging him down to her as she deepened their kiss.
They shared this sweet moment of kisses, just relishing in the warmth of their connection. They knew that no matter the twists and turns life might have taken, they were meant to be together, playing video games, baking pastries, and facing whatever challenges came their way, side by side.

i want more POV of Prapai's circle of friends and family going "wtf, how and when did that happen???" when Prapai suddenly stopped sleeping around and his social media is all about "my Sky" (without Sky pics. those are for his eyes only). He starts to work diligently so that he can keep his weekends off and whenever his friends asks him to party on a friday night, he just goes "Nope, sorry man, my boy is waiting for me"

(Chapter 22 Bonus Scene | Mystic Code Book Chapter 1 Q&A)
Thinking about how the photo Ray took of Isabella burned up with plant no.3, so the only pictures the children possibly have of her in the human world are mugshots stored in headquarters' database that might have been updated every year on her birthday.
Tumblr media
How surreal it is to see her like that, grappling with memories of the complicated woman they knew—the good and the bad—and the young girl staring back at them who resolutely held her head up high to prove she had what it took to survive in a demon's world, knowing all the unspoken pain behind her eyes.
Yvette's portraits of her quickly become their preferred visual references.

hello, idk if you've done this yet, but do u know any good post reveal pre relationship fic recs? sorry if this request is kinda vague lol
General requests are easier than super specific ones lol so you don’t need to apologize for that! I have been meaning to do a PRPR rec list for a while now (and, not directed at you, anon, but yes, PRPR stands exclusively for post-reveal pre-relationship) so thanks for giving me the push to finally do it! (Sorry, I may have gotten a little carried away with this one, but it’s truly one of my favourite things to read.)
The Official Summer Buster Kiss List by @peachcitt
“You’d really be alright with kissing me?” he asked, and Marinette popped the cap of her dry-erase marker on and off.
“I mean, yeah,” she said, and they stared at each other for a moment. “Of course,” she hurried on, “you’d have to be alright with being my candidate. Teacher. Guide. Whatever.” She made a few empty gestures with the marker, and the loose cap flew off the end, bouncing off the wall and rolling off her desk.
Adrien caught it before it could fall to the floor, handing it back to her. “I am,” he said, looking her in the eye. “I’ll do it.”
or
a very simple four-point plan to tackle the issue of marinette's abysmal kissing life that turns into a six-point plan and also results in an outcome that literally no one could have predicted (sarcasm)
One-shot. They’re just so incredibly stupid (affectionate). The writing is gorgeous, the humour is spot on, and I loved all the little details of their lives with the passage of time. It’s so clear that they love each other, but as always, it takes them way too long to admit it haha.
Emergency Contact by @coffeebanana
When Marinette invites Adrien to live with her temporarily while she recovers from an injury, she thinks the hardest part is going to be hiding her feelings from him. But Adrien's idea of being helpful might go...a little overboard.
Post Shadow Moth defeat, Aged Up Characters, Read the Tags
Multi-chapter. This fic is just so real and messy and beautiful. The mutual pining is absolutely perfect! The backstory and how that impacts their current dynamic is so well woven through and adds another layer to their relationship. But also, I love the lack of perfection, that these are real people with real flaws and the way that all plays out. I absolutely love this fic!
rainwater and brown sugar by @aerequets
He knew they shouldn't do anything (whatever that 'anything' was). They couldn't. Not until they defeated Hawkmoth. Not until their relationship wouldn't get in the way of their work (or whatever other excuse they'd come up with over the course of three months). He knew all this. He knew.
But it was the raindrop that did it for him.
One-shot. It’s seriously unfair that someone who draws so beautifully should be able to write equally so. And yet. This is just so beautiful and SOFT and lovely. And then THAT KISS!!!!!
An Open Secret by @kasienda
Adrien whirled around toward Marinette. She smiled at him.
He couldn’t smile back. He stared at her like the dumb blond model that he was often accused of being.
Something shifted in her expression. And her warm open Marinette smile transformed into Ladybug’s grin. He was looking at Ladybug right now.
He knew Ladybug’s name!
Her name was Marinette Dupain-Cheng.
And he couldn’t say anything! Not to Marinette! Not even to Plagg, who had confided two weeks prior that Master Fu was growing increasingly paranoid since the location of his home and hideout had been compromised. Their master had apparently decided that Chat Noir and Ladybug would have to give up their miraculouses if they ever discovered each other’s identities.
It wasn’t fair!
...
A fic where they both know, but can't openly talk about it.
Multi-chapter. I absolutely love the early reveal in this fic. I’ve read a lot of reveals, but this one is really fun and original! And then the premise of the fic itself isn’t one I’ve seen anywhere else, which makes it very different from the usual PRPR fare. Because even though they both know...they can’t actually talk about it. And it’s so interesting and different and sweet?
A little push by @emsylcatac
Alya asks Chat Noir to record a video of himself encouraging Marinette to confess...to Adrien.
Of course his mouth speaks on its own. Of course he says yes.
Of course his Lady is most likely sure to kill him.
...And of course Marinette feels like she's the one who's about to die.
One-shot. @emsylcatac‘s fics never go the way that I expect them to, and I really love that about her writing. Although this starts off really silly, the way Adrien expresses himself at the end wasn’t something I saw coming at all, even though it’s SO TRUE to his character. The pining and miscommunication is wonderful, but it’s the ending that really sells me on this one.
17 days, 2 hours and some odd minutes by @miabrown007
It has been 17 days, 2 hours and 14 minutes since Chat Noir flirted with Ladybug for the last time.
It has been exactly 17 days, 2 hours and 13 minutes since Adrien realized his very good friend and his best friend were, in fact, one and the same.
Consecutively, it has been exactly 17 days, 2 hours and 12 minutes since he constantly fought the insurmountable desire to kiss the said friend.
One-shot. The yearning in this fic is absolutely e x q u i s i t e . I love it when Adrien stops flirting post-reveal and Marinette takes it the wrong way. And they’re just SO STUPID here, and then they get to be adorable in love dorks.
the wonderful part of the mess that we made by heresie_irisee
They knew.
They knew, and there would be no magical reset button for the memories they'd made today. She'd have to see him at school every day, and she'd see the Chat in him, as surely as he'd see the Ladybug in her.
One-shot but a lengthy one-shot. How about some post-Oblivio fic that has the magical ladybugs NOT erase their memories of the fight (because lbr that made no sense anyway)? Oblivio is probably my favourite episode and this is such a great fic. The mutual pining is so, so, so good! Especially love Marinette struggling to assimilate Adrien’s identities and Adrien’s obliviousness.
The Boy She Loves by @goth-bias
Adrien just wants to know who Marinette has been in love with this entire time, but she refuses to budge. Accidentally reading a part of her diary, however, gives Adrien the answers he has been looking for.
One-shot. So you may not know this about me, but I’m absolute sucker for the trope of Adrien fixating on the boy Marinette loves post-reveal. (And tbf for him fixating on the boy Ladybug loves pre-reveal.) I love how well done the miscommunication is here, where their failure to confess makes sense and all of the tension naturally follows.
Make it clear by @amiraculousplatypus​
After years, the masks have fallen. Marinette and Adrien figure out what has changed. And what hasn't.
One-shot. This one is all about the yearning. And then Adrien’s beautiful honesty that pushes Marinette to finally do something. They’re both so in character and I love them so much!
White Lies Over White Nights by meirencollector
“Tell me, Marinette. The other boy, is it me?"
There’s something about the way he says it. The way his lips move. The way his eyes glaze at her. The way he looks at her as if she hung the moon and stars. The way there’s a warm glow when he's drawing close to touch. Even in this snowstorm, he was a ray of sunshine, and she was a sunburn.
One-shot. This one is really interesting because of both its device--a game of Truth or Drink--and its use of non-linear storytelling. Even though the fic is set post-reveal, we get all kinds of flashbacks to memories of their pre-reveal interactions that really illuminate the present and are extremely well woven into the narrative. I also really appreciated how honest Adrien was about his feelings, even with their relationship being so ambiguous.
The following fics are amazing and absolutely worth reading, but do feature sexual content, so minors beware.
your lips are meant to be kissed by @zimtlein
During a tipsy evening, Adrien kisses Marinette’s forehead.
Understandably enough, Marinette has a complete meltdown.
One-shot. Rated E for sexual content. This is one of my favourite fics and I’ve read it a good half a dozen times at least. The pining is absolutely phenomenal and Adrien is so, so oblivious. And the tension between them just builds and builds and builds until I thought I was going to die! But instead it all leads to a phenomenal resolution.
