    Summary

    The Council had already fallen apart once and managed to pull itself back together. They made a list of rules.

    1. Never get attached to anyone.

    2. Never get attached to another member.

    Friendship was okay, but what happens when you're trying to stop going beyond that?

    Summary

    “Do you remember your first kiss?”

    “No.” she deadpanned, ripping her eyes away.

    “Aw come on, no need to be so cold, I’m just asking!.” Kiara shot back, defensive.

    “No, no, I mean, I truly don’t. It was so long ago, probably. I genuinely cannot, for the death of me, remember it.” Calli’s words were laced with urgency for she had never intended to hurt Kiara. She never did.

    “Ah I see.” The relieved tone of the girl reassured Calli. A short lived reassurance. “That’s kinda sad. Although, thinking about it, I don’t think I can either…”

    The tone became distant. Calli’s stiffened. ‘I know.’, she wanted to say. ‘There is so much you don’t remember.’, she would never say.

    Summary

    When the prosecution starts throwing around the word victim in reference to Adrien, he has to stuff his hands under his thighs to keep himself from bolting out of the courtroom.

    Adrien had felt unsafe during those last few weeks, but, until he had woken up and seen Father silhouetted in his bedroom doorway, that had only been paranoia. Father was controlling and cold, but he wasn’t hateful. Adrien was isolated. He was often hungry. And some weeks ago, when he had snuck out to visit Nino, sitting thigh-to-thigh on his bed while Adrien cried in that silent, crumbling way of his, he hadn’t argued when Nino put a hand on his shoulder and said, tentatively, That’s abuse.

    But Adrien remembers being small and Father touching his hair after he’d aced another test; Father holding his scribbled drawings like they were something precious, and framing them around his office; Father, dressed as Hawkmoth, his eyes wild behind the mask, lashing his sword against Adrien’s baton; Father, collapsed against Mum, crying into her ashy hair.

     

    Adrien finds out Gabriel is Hawkmoth, and Gabriel gets to bring his long-waited plan into action.

    Summary

    Adrien is excited to reveal his true identity, while Marinette is terrified. But Master Fu says they can't afford to be distant any longer. Chat Noir and Ladybug are meant to work in tandem both in and out of uniform, their strength stemming from the bond created between them. Yet, teenagers are sometimes better at dancing blind than running with wide open eyes, even with the steps laid out before them.

    Steps in the path of an expanding world. Apart, they'll flounder. But together, they might just stand a chance.

    Takes place following season 1.
