Guess now is as good a time as ever to post this!
Now you guys know what that preview of Marinette kissing Chat Noir’s cheek is from.
Basically this comic and the entire set of prompts leading up to it was inspired by the kiss request challenges. (Marichat - Kiss on the cheek.) https://portentous-offerings.tumblr.com/post/154625518028/mari-monsta-portentous-offerings
It was my secret Ko-Fi thank you art. (I’ve now replaced it with a different comic piece.)
As a reminder: Do not repost.
tralala, guess who’s mooning over artwork again instead of working on one of her many WIPs, IT’S ME!! anyway I had an unexpected cancellation at work and if I could write this much in two hours for any of my OTHER stories, fic or original, I’d be ecstatic. In the meantime, @portentous-offerings is the bomb dot com, here’s some (totally unedited oops) fic for her:
The worst moment isn’t finding out Gabriel is Hawkmoth.
It’s not that that isn’t awful; it’s not that the ramifications for Adrien don’t race through her mind, tumbling over one another in tragedy. It’s not that a selfish part of her doesn’t break a little at the idea of her idol being rooted in something dark, something evil. Something that hurt her friends.
But she’s riding high on adrenaline and Gabriel being Hawkmoth is something she can fight. She can’t change who he is but she can make the best of the situation. She and Chat can fix this, before anyone has to know. Before Adrien has to know. She can talk to Gabriel. Hawkmoth was always just a dark ominous concept; Gabriel is a person, a person she’s met, a person who she’s sure loves Adrien, even if what that means has gotten tangled up inside. If she can just reason with him, if she can just reach him, she can end all the terror without ruining anyone’s life. She can fix this. She can do anything. She’s Ladybug. With a little bit of that trademark luck, she can just -
Chat Noir throws Gabriel Agreste out the window. He lands amongst the crowd of paparazzi and a thousand eager smartphones. All she can see is the shadow between flashes.

The worst moment isn’t seeing Adrien’s face.
Although that one definitely breaks her heart a bit.

guess who should be working on actual work or on Katsucon costumes and so finally wrote a sequel instead, it’s me again!! somehow!! I’m the worst. I don’t know why this one was much harder for me and I have zero perspective in regard to its quality because of that, but hey, you people were wonderful about the last one, so. In exciting news, this time I realized copy & pasting to tumblr gets rid of my italics.
“I thought there would be…time to tell him the truth.”
It is not until this moment, weeks later, that Adrien thinks to wonder exactly how Marinette Dupain-Cheng managed to get to his house faster than the police, the paparazzi, the crowds. That it had barely hit social media before she was there at his house. He’d barely tumbled in the window and dropped his transformation when she arrived, and he’d never questioned it.
As he looks at her tear-stained face beside the statue, the answer slides into his heart, easy as breathing.

Sooo….I was done with this.
But it’s @portentous-offerings‘s birthday (or it was?? it still is here but she’s way ahead of me?? WHATEVER TIME HAS NO MEANING) and a few weeks ago I asked her who her favorite not-main-character was in ML. She said Nathalie. And so for her birthday, because she is a lovely, talented person who does great things for the fandom and is also just ferociously nice as a human being, I have written a Nathalie side-story to this.
ANYWAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY DIRE I HOPE IT WAS RAD!!
She would never tell anyone - not that she really has anyone to tell - but the week after Gabriel Agreste’s arrest is honestly the most relaxing vacation Nathalie has had in years.
All of his assets are seized and all parts of his business are frozen, so she can’t even pretend that she should be keeping the company going in his absence. Adrien is with the family of his classmate - that pig-tailed girl who made the scarf she stole the credit for with his father - so she doesn’t have to do much, day to day.
That doesn’t mean she doesn’t do her part. She covers every legal boundary anyone might use to strip Adrien of his property, and more importantly of his agency. He has had so little choice for so long that she wants to make sure he has this one. She has every newspaper on speed dial; she makes every one of them very aware that she has the best libel lawyers she can find on retainer and that anything they print about Adrien, they’ll pay dearly for.
But aside from that, she is in limbo. She has never realized how much sun comes into her apartment in daylight hours. She has never been in a position to know. It’s very bright, and she finds herself squinting more often than not.
There were so many things she had planned to do when she had free time. She has trouble remembering any of them now. She should be bored, she has never been good where idleness is concerned, but she isn’t.
It is just so peaceful, with Gabriel behind the bars of the Santé Prison.
