Felonies and Other Love Languages - Masterpost

Adrien Agreste: rich, lonely, freshly aware of the fact that he's expected to take over not a fashion, but a drug empire. Marinette Dupain-Cheng: broke, angry, freshly aware of the fact that bringing down drug empires is a blast. But where would she be without her team, Alya and Nino, and her very good friend, Luka? Not to mention the team’s newest addition, the kind, the funny, the ultra charming Chat Noir. If Marinette likes him, though, that’s alright. It isn’t like she’s dating Adrien Agreste for real. It’s all part of her ten-step plan to make the Agrestes meet their demise.

Heyy! I saw the art you made for "Felonies and Other Love Languages" and it made me wanna read the fic and write this. Hope you like this piece of art I made inspired by an art made for another piece of art!

The Light That Suits Him

If only everything was so simple, as simple as the promises made, but not as the masks that laid, hiding his smiles, all dimples.

It’s a truth so hard to believe.  It ‘d be much easier to just yell, scream, shout, anything to quell the tears threatening to leave.

It only feels right to hurl a slew of lies— insults, while her voice rings strange to her, all just to see a flicker of rage on him, anything but those sad eyes. 

She thinks of stories of hidden scars,  of her kitchen, a vulnerable part, of the duties he is forced to cart, whispered in the dark, under the stars.

But the silver moonlight on his face,  like a halo on his head, at its crown, looks foreign on him, just like his frowns. Sunshine has been his thing, always.

Wait. Hold on. I need to sit down. Wait.

This is so beautiful. THE WAY YOU WROTE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PIECE perfectly matching with each illustration, I could picture it so CLEARLY. And this is so beautifully written THANK YOU FOR THIS. you captured the characters of both Adrien and Marinette so perfectly from the fic.

Felonies and Other Love Languages is one of my most favorite collabs TOP heist story ever I cannot express how much I love this. THANK YOU AGAIN.

@miabrown007 is the mastermind behind FAOLL Mia you need to see this RN

[miabrown007]

omg hello?? this is so good!!! like I can just see all the word choices you noticed in the fic and incorporated here as well (with simple and dimple), and you summarize whole scenes with these couple word!!

this is so special, thank you @oliviamaxwell13 for writing this and sending it to us! transformative work on a transformative work, this is what fandom is all about 🙏💕✨🥰

[miracu10us]

She never knew all that she would become.

The miracu10us zine is here!

First off, hats off to @scribblekingdom for this incredible art, which graces our cover. Sharing the image doesn't tell the story of the level of effort this image represents. Every time news of a new Ladybug variant came out, back to the drawing board. It humbled and excited us in equal measure.

As you open the magazine (it's really more of a mook at this point), you will see what appears to be two strange yellow pages with small white markings. Zoom in! The zine begins and ends with two end pages that, together, contain the Ao3 names of every author who has posted a pubicly-available ML fic on the site. It's our version of the Lord of the Rings end credits, which listed every member of the LotR fan club.

How do you get this dern thing? The simplest link to visit is our Carrd.

We currently have two options for viewing:

A web version for download. This is a 200MB PDF meant for viewing on a device. The quality astounds me.

A flipbook for viewing online without downloading.

We will have a third option soon, possibly within twenty-four hours: a CMYK version meant to be taken to a print shop or used with your own printer. The link will show up on the Carrd, but we'll also announce it here.

We are thinking seriously about investigating a print-on-demand option. No money would come to our hands. We would just be setting it up so anyone who wants a print version but doesn't know where to look could just use that service. The zine was designed using Canva, which offers such a service. It might be easy to connect the project to their POD service and they print and ship it right to you.

We thank everyone who contributed, and everyone who now reads the zine or reblogs this announcement. Drop us a line; tell us what you think!

Arthur Eomane—part-time noble, full-time lovesick fool—has a long con in the works. Tonight he introduces his best friend to polite company. The magnificence of this event should not be tarnished by the fact that Lady Astrid Holimion is not, technically, real. Amita of the Books—part-time schemer, full-time in denial—spends her first night as Astrid Holimion. She’s determined to have a great time at the ball, and silly little inconveniences, like everyone thinking she’s engaged to Arthur, shall not stop her. But when people with hidden agendas are showing up left and right, she might just question if high society is worth all this trouble.

never be enough for the prodigal son (6,592 words, Teen, One-Shot)

[miabrown007]

In a thief’s line of life, a wrong move is all it takes and you’re suddenly looking at the world from inside a holding cell. Amita, master of schemes, knew this; she just didn’t plan for that thief to be her. If only she had a friend who cared enough to stage a rescue mission.

part-time soulmate, full-time problem (1,503 words, Teen, One-Shot)

[miabrown007]

After much trouble, Amita has reunited with her best friend, who's been dragged to the Underdark. And if he doesn’t have his memories back of how she managed that… Well, she’d prefer to keep it that way. But Arthur Eomane was never one to give up on the answers he seeks; and Amita was never any good at saying no to him. If only her secrets didn’t break him.

Hellbound (9,815 words, Teen, One-Shot)

[miabrown007]

Amita of the Books isn’t afraid of a challenge. Be it a friendly competition with her boyfriend, or masterminding her team’s way into a high security vault to purloin some dangerous magic—you can count on her to get the job done. But when things go wrong and she’s rifling through contingency plans, who can she count on to have her back?

“I think…” Marinette leans forward, her hair cascading down around them. “I think that this is a very bad idea.” “I think you and I are a pretty good bad idea.”

“You never cared about any of it, did you? About Paris. About my parents. About me," she says, voice hard as she faces him for the first time.

Kidnapping Your Best Friend and Other Legal Oopsie-Daisies

Nino Lahiffe has 99 problems, and the love-square is every one of them. *** set during chapter 17-19 of Felonies and Other Love Languages, contains spoilers for that whole story (3,743 words, Teen, 1/1 chapter)

thanks to @ladyofthenoodle for beta-reading, and to @kasienda for the immaculate Adrino vibes! <3

excerpt:

Nino steps foot in the front room instead, fully prepared to nudge Agreste back into consciousness and sell his soul. What he is not prepared for is the sight of cut up zip ties. They lay scattered around the makeshift cot, which is occupied by a body—as if it’d still be confined to the nook between the heating pipes and the wall, like Nino left him.  Adrien Agreste raises his head, his eyes bloodshot and haunted.  “How did you get out?” is the first thing Nino asks, when the more apt question would be, why are you here if you did? “I thought Ladybug’s team knew everything about me,” Agreste says, just as cocky as Nino would expect of him. But something about the way he says it—as if he’s fighting back tears—isn’t right. “I’m dangerous. I’m your enemy. I’m her worst nightmare.” He tosses a scrap of black fabric at Nino’s feet. “And also a liar.”

Felonies and Other Love Languages - Last Chapter

“Can I drive?” Adrien asks, utilising his best kitten eyes as they cross the parking lot. Nino gives less thought to the proposition than he did to whether they should pull over for road-trip treats by the highway. “No.” “Can I drive?” Marinette asks over a mouthful of McFlurry. “Absolutely not.” "M, you can't even drive," Alya points out. "You say that like that would have stopped her before," Nino says, the same time Adrien adds with a grin, "She can't shoot, either." Marinette, like the cool and collected adult she is, blows them a raspberry. “God forbid women do anything.”
