“She immediately felt the difference, hanging tense in the air between them. As he walked down the stairs towards her, Chat moved with purpose, every movement strong and smooth. His tail wagged lazily, flirtatiously, and his green eyes smoldered with the night. She held her breath as Chat Noir stopped before her and held out his hand. Marinette prickled with anxiety - she couldn’t do this, she couldn’t take this risk again - but then she saw the promise of a nervous grin peeking out beneath his careful smile, and the uncertain, excited shimmer in his eye, and she realized - he was playing.
Marinette’s body relaxed, and she narrowed her eyes with a sly smile. She rested her hand on his outstretched palm, and he bowed low to kiss it. She could play, too.”
Arc One: A Night of No Consequences
Summary: After 7 long years of protecting Paris alone, Marinette learns that her partner has finally returned - and has shown up unexpectedly at her window with a proposition too tempting to deny. When Chat Noir’s promised “Night of No Consequences” leaves Marinette alone and pregnant, she’s faced with a choice between honoring her role as Guardian and living the life she’s always wanted but never dreamed of having. As the promise of a baby forces both of them to reexamine their lives, Marinette and Adrien fall closer and closer together, even as past trauma, dangerous secrets, hardfast beliefs about identity, and a new, powerful enemy threatens to break them apart.
Quick Summary: Consequence of Our Love is a pre-reveal, post-Hawk Moth AU exploring Marinette’s and Adrien’s relationship as adults.
