Marinette straightened her dress and took a steadying breath before she went on. She wasn’t entirely comfortable in the strapless gown, though she loved the silhouette. She glanced at the house, it was pretty full tonight—there was a new face though. Sitting at a table on his own, the empty seats were a sign of danger she didn’t know how to interpret.

She felt Luka’s presence just before he spoke. His voice was soft and low in her ear. “I need your help tonight, Miss Dupain-Cheng.” Marinette let the ghost of the shiver his closeness caused to ripple through her without letting it show.

She glanced at the mirror above the piano, she could just make out Luka standing behind her, half hidden in shadow. He looked completely at ease, his hands tucked into his pockets. But while he wasn’t touching her, she could feel the warmth of his breath on her ear. He was so close that the heat of him seemed to sear her back. It took all of her willpower to not lean back into him. She nodded once, focusing on his words carefully. -----------------------

Here's my half of a collab with the wonderful @rierse for this year's Lukanette Big Bang!

This image belongs to chapter 5 "Insights" of her film noir AU "Luck be a Lady".

The amount of research that went into this fic-- I'm floored. Honestly, if you're into mysteries, go check it out!

The final chapter has been released!

I'm never going to get over this art.

Sometimes Goodbye Is A Second Chance

“If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it’s yours. If it doesn’t, it never was.” — Richard Bach

My contribution to the Lukanette Big Bang fandom event!

Title: Sometimes Goodbye Is A Second Chance

Words: 1,542

Chapters: ??

Summary: Luka Couffaine had always known how Marinette Dupain-Cheng felt about Adrien Agreste. Despite that, Luka was grateful for the chance that he and Marinette took at having a relationship. When it didn’t work out, Luka took the advice of a familiar old saying and let Marinette go, happy that they could both still be friends.

Years later, on the brink of adulthood, Adrien abruptly disappears from their lives, leaving all of his friends in grief. Luka finds Marinette come back to him in her sadness. Though he would love nothing more to have his own Second Chance, Luka would never expect that and is happy just to comfort his ex-girlfriend.

However, like Shinedown once said, “Sometimes goodbye is a second chance”. Could this be Luka’s?

Hymn for the Missing

By @omnoramayday

Summary:

Luka and Marinette are finally together and life is good. Marinette's thinking about the future and Luka is over the moon. But if there is one thing that can ruin a sure thing in Hawkmoth Paris, it's an akuma. If an akuma isn't bad enough, tragic timing makes it worse. After an akuma attack, Ladybug goes missing and Luka is left behind to pick up the pieces, protect her identity, and grieve on his own. When her absence stretches on, tensions begin to rise. Can Viperion take on Hawk Moth? Can Paris survive without Ladybug? Will Ladybug ever return?

Rating: Mature Tags: Established Relationship, Missing Persons, Mourning/Grief

Seconding thanks to the organizers for the @ml-lukanette-bigbang for making this event happen!

Special thanks to @hamsterr for being patient about my updates and for this incredible artwork.

I'll be posting chapters weekly until we reach our conclusion.

Rating: Mature, mostly because things do get heavy. There is also a bit of cursing, but the rating is really about the responses to loss. Mind the tags on this one friends.

Marinette Dupain-Cheng is a passenger on the soulmate train, an enchanted train that travels far and wide to unite soulmates who had the misfortune of being born into different worlds. Luka Couffaine is one of the conductors of the soulmate train and as such, a man without a soulmate. They weren’t meant for each other. But what does destiny know, anyway?

The first chapter of my fic for the Lukanette BigBang is up!

I had the honors of doing an artwork for @omnoramayday‘s fic hymne for the missing for the Lukanette BigBang!!

Everybody please give Omnora some love for her story🩷🩷🩷

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

In a world where The Princess Bride meets Film Noir, we find ourselves with a woman who has a story to tell. A story of friendships found and lost, of corruption and intrigue. A story of love and choices made. 

Marinette Dupain-Cheng and her long-time friend Adrien Agreste are newly minted Private Eyes ready to hang their shingle. But before their fledging Detective Agency can go public, Commissioner Agreste asks them to look into the Liberty Lounge. The Couffaine family might be hiding something, but the Commissioner isn’t exactly clean either. It will be up to the savvy sleuths to determine the outcome of their dual-edged investigation.

Follow Marinette as she discovers what it means to be family, dances through the shades of gray that hold the black and white of the law together, and goes undercover to find the truth. 

*Updates planned for every Thursday for the next 7 weeks. Enjoy!
