check yes juliet

,

Summary:

He was never meant to hear it.

It was just a wry observation during a particularly smooth battle with an akuma, one she hadn’t even realized she’d voiced until her partner in crime stiffened beside her.

“If only asking out my crush was this easy.”

Chapter 1

Notes:

EDIT 6/25/23: hey, guys. some stuff happened with ao3, and i'm honestly sick to my stomach at the thought of continuing to host my fic here, so i'm going to be replacing most of it.

if you want to know why, you can read through the whole thing with receipts here. for me, this was the comment thread that made me decide it was time to leave.

tl;dr (and hooo boy there's a lot of it), it came out that the policy and abuse committee were given basically no support for dealing with csem (the literal 'assaulted a child' kind, not the 'underage ships' kind), and were denied when they asked for industry standard tools. twice, the volunteers were attacked with threats and csem, and the otw's followup amounted to a few pieces of generic advice and amatuer mutual support. they accused the volunteer stuck with dealing with the csem (without tools or support from the heads of ao3) of committing the attacks, and as of typing, still haven't issued her an apology for it. they haven't been keeping up with lawfully reporting csem.

i knew that ao3 was a mess, but their staunch refusal to protect or help their volunteers and their willingness to throw someone who was doing a shitton of horrific work for them under the bus is beyond the pale.

so i'm leaving -- for now, at least. if i hear the heads have stepped down, the policy and abuse committee has been given proper support, and/or azarias gets an apology and all her therapist's bills paid for, i'll come back and put my fics back.

thank you for these 8 years, guys. <3 it was a magical experience, and i wish you all the best.

If you want to read the fic i've removed, you can find it here. otherwise: enjoy the drabble(s) i came up with so the fic posting won't be taken down.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Sometimes, Chat wondered when it was time to leave. When the stars came out to play? When Ladybug's spots flickered in the moonlight? When dawn painted the sky pink?

He didn't know. All he knew was that he wanted it to be never.

Notes:

I love the love in this show so. much.

Alya spends her time trying to get Marinette together with her crush, and Nino storms Adrien's house to convince Mr. Agreste to let his son have a birthday and gets so upset when h won't he gets turned into an akuma, and Chat respects Ladybug enough to close the door on finding out her identity against her wishes, and even though Ladybug is 5000% done with Chat's flirting, she still supports him and saves him and readily admits that she needs him.

I'm not crying you're crying

Chapter 2: Chapter Two

Notes:

I am so, so, so flattered by the response to this fic. Thank you all, so, so much. <3

About ten people requested more, and more I have delivered.

Enjoy!

Chapter Text

He asked ladybug once or twice or thrice. She rolled her eyes at him at first, then flicked his nose, then gave him worried looks. "Why?" she wondered. "What do you think is going to happen?"

Quietly: "I don't know--

Notes:

If the villain seemed a bit strange, please consider listening to this song.

Chapter three is written and awaiting editing while I work on homework, never fear!

(Also, watch Adrien and Marinette's canon interactions and tell me he doesn't think she's even a little bit cute. Go on. I dare you. :3c)

Chapter 3: Chapter Three

Notes:

Rating has been upped to T for Marinette's implied 'teenage thoughts.'

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

--I just feel like... it might be the end of something else, you know?"

Ladybug plopped her cute butt down beside his. "Silly cat. What would be ending now?"

"Hm..."

Notes:

(okay but this chapter is basically Adrien discovering he can make Sweet Ingenue Marinette blush and Chat taking it and running with it)

One last part to go!

Chapter 4: Chapter 4 Part 1

Notes:

i haven't forgotten about this story, i promise!

so this got seriously long and, for the sake of my sanity, i've decided to split chapter 4 up into three parts. enjoy part one of chapter 4!

and if you don't know what boku no pico is, please do not look it up! it's incestuous pedophiliac yaoi porn okay don't put that in your mind or your browser history. it has scarred millions.

(alternate chapter titles:
"In which Mari gets her own back"
"Waiter, what is this fluff doing in my angst?"
"This was supposed to be 1k or less wha t hap p en e d"
"I am in Ladynoir hell. Please send help.")

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Impulsively, Ladybug held out her pinky.

Chat glanced at her.

"Pinky promise that even if the end comes, we'll figure it out together."

Notes:

adrien's name for mari, 'my princess,' was actually supposed to have a heart with an arrow through it at the end, instead of a plain one, but ao3 was dumb and refused. please imagine a little arrow going through that ascii heart. <3

EDIT: ao3 updated and let me put the heart!!! :D

Chapter 5: Chapter 4 Part 2

Notes:

what is this? an update?

amazing

DISCLAIMER: i started and wrote most of this fic around the 7th/8th episode of the korean dub (the first dub to air) so there are actually a fair few characterizations i no longer agree with after having the full first season, but i'm keeping them for internal consistency. sorry if any of it bothers you!

(or maybe it just bothers me idk)

EDIT 8/6/22: changed up the timeline a little.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Electric blue eyes drowned widening cat-green. Chat reached back with his own pinkie, linking it delicately with Ladybug's.

"Yeah," he said, warmth soaking into his chest. "We will."

Notes:

now don't touch me for, like, a year
