Summary
“I’ve been doing a lot of thinking and, the thing is, I’m in love with you.” Marinette says almost insurgently, an hour and a half into the party. She doesn’t mean to let it slip, really, but Adrien’s eyes are green, so green, so, so green under the rainbow lights, and something small and warm and kind bubbles up inside her before she’s even realized it. As soon as the words leave her mouth, she wrenches her gaze from his. Her throat itches.
There’s a beat. Then, thankfully, eventually--“Huh?”
This is it, this is the day she dies. Here lies Marinette Dupain-Cheng, age 17, who died from a bad case of A Broken Heart and Also Wet Socks. Dearly beloved by all who knew her, except Adrien Agreste, who didn’t. And Chloe, sometimes. Oh, and Lila, all-times. But whatever. Who’s counting.
Marinette (finally) confesses to Adrien at the Christmas party, half-drunk off of her newfound valor and the other half from the spiked eggnog.

Summary
She creases beneath him, soldier’s body folding like a jackknife, burying herself in the same familiar graves. The lean, spear’s edge of her silhouette disappears underneath him, tucked and crowded into every old grief: head on collarbone, hand in hair, hips slotted together. They breathe together for a moment, two halves made whole, polar magnets finally in place.
A blade of a girl, eased back into her sheath after so long.
or: paul and chani's inevitable end.

Summary
“I don’t believe you’re their Kwisatz Haderach, but I am glad that those witches made you as you are,” Chani had whispered, dipping her brow to Paul’s. “You are the best of them.”
Paul’s spice-dyed eyes had drifted to the wet frame of her mouth, then down her neck. “I don’t desire to be the best of them, I only want to be equal to you."
