ML Fanfic Appreciation Week Day 7 - AU
I know this is super, insanely late, but I promised myself I would finish this, and I promised someone I’d make this. @lairep I’m sorry this took so long. It’s been a crazy few months, but I finally did it: a fanfic of the hilarious series Sliding Miraculously. Hope you’ll forgive me for taking so long.
Sliding Miraculously (fanfic of a fanfic)
The squad fell again through the portal, landing on an empty street of Paris. The whole jumping-into-other-universes was starting to give Alya a headache. And the rest seemed to be on the same boat.
“I just wanna go home,” Marinette whined. “I don’t wanna keep finding new ways Chat and I are making out.”
“At least you’re making out with a superhero,” Alya complained. “I’ve barely seen myself in these other universes. What if I’m dead?”
“I’m sure you’re fine,” Nino assured, while still trying to get Adrien out of his trance from the previous universe they visited. “I think that last one broke my man here.”
“I’d break too if I’d seen myself making out with Ladybug,” Alya chuckled, ignoring Marinette’s muffled groan.
“Why is it so quiet?” Nino wondered. “I’ve never seen Paris so quiet unless—”
“—there’s an akuma,” Alya finished.
As if on cue, someone landed in front of them: a redheaded girl with a black spandex and cat ears. Very much like…
“Chat Noir?” Marinette blurted out.
The girl turned to them, her hazel eyes wide.
“What are you all doing here?” she said, almost scolding. “This area has been evacuated. You should be—” But she suddenly stopped, looking at them properly. She leaped back and took out her weapon. “Who are you?” Chat Noir threatened, her baton extended to Alya’s neck.
“Who are you?” the three conscious ones of the group asked in unison, staring at the redheaded girl.
“You three get out, this is a dangerous area—”
“Chat! Where have you been?” A boy with short brown hair and a spotted spandex zipped into the scene. “I need you to— What the heck?!”
The boy suddenly took a fighting pose and directed a glare towards Nino.
“What is this? Who are you?”
“That’s Nino Lahiffe,” Chat Noir responded this time. “I know him.”
“I know Chat Noir?” Nino gawked.
“That’s impossible! And why are you pointing your baton to Alya?”
“Because that’s not really Alya. Trust me, Ladbug.”
“Oh my gosh,” Alya let out, finally understanding what was going on. “I’m Chat Noir.”
“Shut up!” Chat Noir yelled, this time with a more panicked expression.
“I think I would know if Alya was Chat Noir,” Ladbug smirked.
“Pfft,” the redhead snorted. “Yeah right. How do you figure?”
“Well, I… um… I can’t answer that,” he said, scratching the back of his head. “Can we just get rid of this imposter guy?”
“Why do you assume that I’m—wait,” Nino raised his brows. “Duuude, I’m Ladybug, aren’t I?”
“Ladbug!” the spotted hero corrected. “And stop telling my secrets to people.”
“Your secrets?” Chat Noir stared at Ladbug now. “You can’t be…” But she then looked between Nino, Alya and Ladbug, connecting the dots. “But Nino is my boyfriend! That would mean—”
“Alya?!” Ladbug directed his surprise to Chat Noir this time.
“We’re together?!” Nino choked.
“And superheroes?!” Alya followed.
They both gaped at each other, cheeks blushing at the new development.
…
“I suddenly don’t feel so bad anymore,” Adrien commented, finally out of his trance.
Miraculous Fic Recs
I told myself I’d never do a fic recs post. I’m too picky. I don’t like non-magic AUs, OCs, etc. and have a hard time finding well written fics with good characterization and an interesting plot. Just a warning that Adrien/Chat is my favorite character, so most of these are from his perspective.
Blame @probably-voldemort for this.
Speaking of....
HAPPY SHINY ONESHOTS
A Rational Fear of Dragons by @probably-voldemort (Rated T)
AO3 Summary: When Kim gets paired with Marinette for a history project, he learns a lot, though most of it has nothing to do with their project. Why I like it: I did a post on Marinette and Kim’s possible canon BroTP and the author responded with a link to this. I haven’t laughed this hard at a fic in a long time, guys. It’s got Marichat, dragons, some hilariously timed cursing and a smart Kim. Pairing(s): Marinette/Chat Noir, Marinette & Kim friendship Warnings: Cursing, mild violence, Marinette’s badassery, sort-of-identity-reveal Length: 4,612 words
The Kitchen Gods by takethembystorm (Rated G)
AO3 Summary: Adrien needs an independent cash flow; the Dupain-Chengs need someone to work part-time at the bakery over the summer. Marinette mostly needs someone to keep her heart from stopping. Why I like it: Adrien gets a job at the Dupain-Cheng bakery. Chaos ensues. This is my favorite ML fic for a reason. It’s so well written that it reads like an actual episode. Pairing(s): Marinette/Adrien Warnings: Tooth-rotting fluff, post-reveal, OCs (kitchen staff) Length: 9,474 words
Are You There, God? It’s Me, Adrien. by @inner-sakura (Rated T)
AO3 Summary: In which Adrien inadvertently buys a ticket to the Gun Show™ and gets a little more than he bargained for. Why I like it: Pure comedy gold. Pairing(s): Marinette/Adrien Warnings: Identity reveal, buff Marinette, hormonal Adrien Length: 1,332 words
I hope the worst isn’t over by @thescuttlebugg (Rated T)
AO3 Summary: Falling is exactly like flying right up until you stop. Like, assuming the kind of flying you’re used to involves busted steering and useless panic, Nino guesses.
“GO LIMP!” a voice shouts, and Nino catches a glimpse of black something-like-leather and the twin flashes of a golden bell and silver staff streaking through the air.
“Are you kidding me, dude?!” he shrieks. Why I like it: This is my rare pair. Even rarer than this pairing are the fics. This thing is so good, I check the author’s AO3 once a month to see if there’s a sequel. This needs to either be a series or there needs to be a sequel. Pairing(s): Chat Noir/Nino Warnings: Violence (there is an akuma fight), Nino the Badass™, a lot of falling (in love/off buildings), the fact that this is a oneshot and not a series :( Length: 4,288 words
ANGSTY ONESHOTS
Schedule by @amynchan (Rated T)
AO3 Summary: Chat Noir leapt from building to building, his Lady having left for the night. Usually, patrols made him feel freer, more happy. But he wasn’t. He was pensive. He was looking over his shoulder. He was wary. Why I like it: This one hits close to home and is one of the few fics that deal with the very real problem the show has with Marinette’s stalking tendencies. Pairing(s): One-sided Marinette/Adrien Warnings: Stalking, possible trigger for stalking victims, panic attacks Length: 5,682 words
Adrien and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by @vickyvicarious (Rated G)
AO3 Summary: Chat Noir's used to bad luck - it kind of comes with the territory. But detransforming in the middle of a crowd of reporters is a little worse luck than he’s used to having.And he hasn’t heard a thing from Ladybug since.(AKA the "everyone finds out all at once" angst fic no one asked for.) Why I like it: Everyone has that angst fic they go to when they’re feeling down. This is mine. Pairing(s): Most sides of the love square Warnings: Angst. A LOT of angst. Also, panic attacks, Gabriel sucks as a father (and is also HM), identity reveal Length: 8,986 words
FIC SERIES
Transform by @htbthomas (Rated T)
AO3 Summary: When Adrien runs away from home, only Ladybug can help him. They both find out more than they bargain for. Why I like it: It’s in character with the right combination of angst and action. It feels like a more adult version of an episode. Pairing(s): All sides of the love square Warnings: Angst, hunger issues, Adrien whomping, Gabriel as Hawkmoth, identity reveal, violence, some OCs but they work well Length: 43,551 words (14 chapters)
Recipe for Disaster by @mooncactus (Rated T)
AO3 Summary: Two shot series about Adrien cracking under pressure and Marinette struggling to find answers - and a quite frankly ridiculous amount of baked goods. Why I like it: I just found this a few nights ago and stayed up to the wee hours of the morning to read it all. Pairing(s): Chat Noir/Marinette, Adrien/Marinette (for, like, a chapter), Nino/Alya Warnings: ANGST, Gabriel is Hawkmoth, identity reveal, low blood sugar, holy crap poor Adrien Length: 49,199 words (4 chapters in 2 oneshots)
Also, read anything by @lairep (A03 link).
PSA
@lairep is out for your shins (and knees). Proof;
Be vigilant people. Don’t let your shins be taken like mine.
@lairep is brand-new to the fandom, but even so, despite having to experience reposters and rude anons, she shines so brightly and is such a positive person that I feel so honored to know her. Also, her art is hilarious and beautiful and a very important addition to the fandom~
