Summary
Adrien smiles as he eats breakfast with Nathalie, smiles as he walks through the halls of his new lycée, smiles as people stop him on the street and tell him time and time again what a "hero" his father was.
(Adrien wishes he could've been a hero, too. He should've been. Maybe then his father would still be alive.)
(But he's surviving. Everyone may be treating him as though he were made of glass, but he can still go through the motions, he can prove them wrong, he can still smile.)
“And you’re… happy,” Marinette spoke carefully, a nervous tilt to her voice, “... right?”
(Adrien has some things to find out.)

Summary
University has been hard on Marinette. Making new friends and maintaining her grades is a lot easier said than done when she has to disappear at odd times to fight akumas. She's struggling, and with Alya away with family and Adrien painfully out of reach, she's never felt lonelier.
If only she could talk to someone who really understood her struggles... but it's not like Chat Noir would know anything about loneliness. Right?

Summary
Marinette notices that, sometimes, Adrien acts a little out of the ordinary--like the time he stood in a cardboard box for no reason, or when he actually hissed at Nino. It's only when she starts to notice the similarities between Adrien and a certain feline that she begins to get suspicious.
Basically, Adrien acts like a cat when he probably shouldn't.

Summary
Everybody had expected Monarch's defeat to be a moment of triumph. Nobody had expected Gabriel Agreste, unmasked and mind frayed from continual abuse of the miraculous, crying out to all who would listen and making Paris certain of one thing:
His son, Adrien Agreste, is one of his sentimonsters.
And now he's missing.
Nobody can find him— not even the superheroes, and not even his closest friends. But Marinette, Nino, and Alya aren't ones to give up so easily. They'll find him, no matter what it takes.
(But, geez, would it kill Chat Noir to lend a hand?)

Summary
"Batman," Bruce's low and gravelly tone cuts in, and Jason braces against the wall in surprise for a moment, gloved hands scratching against the stone, "ETA 3 minutes."
Jason breathes in deeply, finally dislodging the gasp of air that had caught itself in his chest. He breaks out into a hurried and unbalanced sprint, ignoring the flaring pain that spreads across his entire body, hands trembling.
"Hey kid!" Jason calls out into the emptiness around him, throat strangely dry and hoarse, "I'm here to save you. Can you hear me?"
It's quiet. Jason's eyes are burning.
(Jason found it easier back when the only thing he could feel was anger.)

“An American road trip,” the waitress repeats with a little shake of her head and a laugh. “Well, I sure hope it’s as glamorous as you make it sound, darlin’.”

Summary
Fed up with her miserable job at a fabric store, Marinette decides it's finally time to quit and move on...until she's tasked with training a new employee whose golden hair and gorgeous green eyes have her feeling a certain way. Torn between leaving her job and staying for Adrien's sake, Marinette decides to stick by his side, enjoying her new co-worker's company far more than she had ever expected.
But there's something about him she can't quite place—a certain sadness in his eyes that, despite only knowing him for a short time, has Marinette wondering about his past and what exactly he's running from.

Summary
“I mean, how dumb does the mayor think we are? Offering us a permanent hotel room as a ‘gesture of gratitude for all our work for Paris’, like it isn’t clearly just some half-baked political ploy to place him more in the public’s favor after the whole school funding scandal, like we’ll allow ourselves to sleep in a hotel that we were publicly offered, making ourselves sitting ducks for Hawkmo—”
“It’s a pretty big building,” he countered, and at least he seemed amused, because she certainly wasn’t, “Nobody knows which room we were given but us.”
“It doesn’t matter!” she scoffed, “It’s still a security risk that he can narrow our location down at all! Also,” she jutted her arms out towards the bed a second time, “May I remind you? ONE. BED. ONE!”
———
Or, Ladybug and Chat Noir receive a hotel room from the city, which they most certainly will not use. After all, that wouldn't be very professional, would it?
Yes, it's a Ladynoir bed sharing fic.

Summary
Lily remembered her sister, how there had been a time she was curious and delighted about magic, before it slowly sank in that she could look and not touch.
The last thing Petunia had said to Lily before she died was a chilly goodbye, ending a holiday dinner where they'd had a shrieking row in the entryway. Petunia had said 'freak' and Lily had hissed 'better than this, better than this being my whole fucking world, Tune, do you even see yourself, are you happy--'
And now here was Dudley Vernon Dursley fussing himself to sleep as Lily walked the halls of the Godric's Hollow house. His tiny soft hands with their tiny soft fingernails curled under her chin, the same way Harry's always had.
She passed James, who was gently bouncing his way up the hall the opposite way. "I think he's asleep," James mouthed over Harry's tousled head. His hair was the same mess, his head bent down as he peered at his sleeping son.
Lily stopped where she stood, her nephew heavy on her chest, her husband smiling, her sister buried. "James," she said. "How are we going to do this?"

“So you’re saying,” he says slowly, “that your life has been turned almost completely around, and one of the things you’re looking forward to most. Is dating.”

“I won’t lie, I love to see you frightened, little bug,” He says and throws another hit, dagger in hand flying towards her, “But I would like to get back to my lovely girlfriend as soon as possible.”
“What an unlucky girl,” She grunts, and slits his torso with the dagger, “Does she know that in your spare time you terrorize Paris? I bet she doesn’t. I mean, who wants to be with a psychotic furry?”

Summary
After the defeat of Gabriel Agreste and the disappearance of the mysterious peacock miraculous user, Marinette is left to try her best as Guardian and pick up the pieces. With the kwamis left in hibernation, no leads on the missing peacock miraculous, and no way to contact her beloved partner, she's left to her wit's end on where to proceed.
That is, until the prime suspect of the peacock wielder coincidentally takes up an apprenticeship at her parents' bakery. Adrien Agreste, son of Hawkmoth, has seemingly planted his roots in her home while Marinette was away for an apprenticeship. This could either be a disaster in the making, or the perfect opportunity to retrieve the missing miraculous... either way, it's war.
At least, it would be, if the gosh darn villain weren't so sweet!

“Ms. Bustier,” Marinette says a little desperately. “I have been fighting akumas nonstop for the past twenty four hours, I’m running on seven expresso shots right now and I can barely read the words on the board. Can we please reschedule the test?”
Adrien doesn’t look up from where his head is buried in his arms but he waves a hand and says, “Agreed.”
Or: the world knows their identities, but life goes on.

Summary
Marinette loves Adrien and Chat Noir. Adrien loves Ladybug and Marinette. While trying to avoid heartbreak, their bonds deepen.
"When Ladybug thinks about her partner, it’s with a sigh and a shiver.
There’s a nervous flutter that travels down her spine when he throws himself in front of her, taking a hit she wishes he didn’t have to. There’s a pleasant warmth on the back of her neck when he tries to sneak up on her on patrol—she’ll pretend to be surprised just so she can revel in his pleased little smile. Her stomach feels fluttery and restless when he brushes the hair out of her eyes or bumps her hip with his own.
It’s her new normal. The giddiness of seeing his goofy face, the urge to run her fingers through his soft hair, the blush that heats her cheeks when he teases her about something a little too close to the truth.
She daydreams about what could be if their enemies were gone. She loses herself in thoughts of holding hands with a boy whose face she can finally see and whose name she can whisper to the stars.
But she’s a superhero. She has a job and a responsibility and a conscience that won’t let her stray.
When Ladybug thinks about her partner, it’s with a shiver and a sigh."

Summary
Growing up in Akuma-occupied Paris has been a nightmare for any number of once-children. Though Hawkmoth was arrested nearly a year ago, many of them have been scarred by his decade-long reign of terror over their city. They need help.
Therapist Doctor Simon Gaspard has made it his mission to help his fellow children of the Akuma Generation to make peace with their fears and, hopefully, move on with their lives. But his next patient—one Marinette Dupain-Cheng—will test just how far his skills can really go.
