    Summary

    AU

    At twenty Adrien goes no contact with his father.

    He’s working on learning who he is, deciding who he wants to be.

    He spends a lot of time with the most important people in his life, Chloe, Kagami, Felix, and the other super heroes, of course.

    A year of therapy later, he moves into an apartment on his own and shortly after, Marinette moves into the apartment across the hall. He’s not sure why she hates him before he’s even opened his mouth, but he *is* sure it’s Felix’s fault.

    Adrien meets Nino in an LSF (French Sign Language) course. They hit it off immediately.

    Summary

    “Yes?” He moved his fingers against her jaw, her neck, her nose and then back to her jaw, lifting her chin before planting a soft kiss to her lips.

    Could he hear her thoughts or had she been voicing his name all along? Probably the latter.

    “Nothing I just… love saying your name. I love looking at you. You’re my whole world.” She couldn’t believe she was talking to him this way after so long. After all the pining, all the plans and the stuttering. He was hers and he was right in front of her.

    Adrien.

    “And you’re mine. I’m so happy Mari. I don’t think I’ve ever been this happy just existing.” He whispered so close to her she could feel his words against her face.

    Mmmm

    She only squeaked and fluttered her eyes at this, enjoying yet another soft kiss.

    And she felt it too.

    The happiness of simply existing with him.

    That was the last time she saw him in person. The last time she could call him hers.

    That was the day before Monarch unmasked himself as Gabriel Agreste.

    The day before Adrien Agreste vanished from her life.

    Summary

    It was a rare day off from work and school, and despite having a bio lab to finish, Marinette just wanted to die in bed.
    Did she say die? She meant…no that was right. She wanted to die in bed. Peacefully in her sleep. That sounded kind of nice, didn’t it?
    Marinette groaned. “Do I need therapy?”
    Tikki winced. “Well…”
    “Yes,” Fluff said. “You really do.”
    “Well too bad I can’t afford it,” Marinette snarked.
    “I think you can’t afford not to have it,” Fluff replied.

    Summary

    If there was one thing Marinette had always known, it was that she was born unlucky. Not in the sense that her situation or life was bad, but more in that she was the problem. She had started suspecting this years ago, when words stopped coming out the way she wanted them to and Chloé’s bullying had only gotten worse and worse. But, ultimately, nothing proved Marinette more right than the first day of the new school year.

    Really, finding the god of bad luck and destruction hidden in her purse was just confirmation of something she’d already known.

    Summary

    Chat Noir struck his most confident, heroic pose, giving a smile that he hoped read as true. Only after did he realize the way he had pulled away from Ladybug, established distance despite how he yearned to stay close, “M’Lady, do I seem like the type of cat who would struggle with his mental health—?”

    He barely had time to finish his sentence before Ladybug looked him up and down and said, “Yup. One hundred percent, Kitty.”

    A swing and a miss, “Wha—C’mon! Ladybug, I’m fine.”

    Chat Noir hasn't been doing so well, and his Lady has noticed. If only talking about your feelings wasn't so hard.

    Summary

    "Are we… Are we still friends?" Ladybug broke the silence at last. Her gaze still fermented in the sky.

    Chat shot her a silent glance. "Are we?"

    Marinette had no answer.

    "You know, milady, you were my first real friend." Chat said, a nonchalant mask adorned to hide any feelings he may have had for the sentiment.

    Marinette finally turned to face him. So many things went through her mind; I had no idea, I'm sorry, why me. "Were," she echoed quietly. "Why past tense?"

    Or;

    A talk of what freinds are, of truths too scary to admit again and of trust that can be rebuilt. Marinette has a secret and Chat Noir is listening. They sit on a rooftop looking over Paris and watch the sun as Ladybug unveils her deepest fears and Chat Noir devolops new ones.
