Laurance and Aphmau is my number one mcd ship, but in the way i used to ship Luka and Marinette (Miraculous)

like i think they would be fantastic together and that they’d be the best pairing (obviously, they’re the ship i root for), but I can also recognize that Aphmau in the canon mcd is selfish and didn’t really like Laurance like that tbh??

yes, she likes him, maybe even loves him at some point, but we also have to remember that the whole time during season two she had a whole plethora of things to worry about, the main being getting Garroth out of the Irene dimension (I kind of interpret that in a couple different ways; one being she feels an obligation to him as his lord, two being she has these undiscovered or unrealized romantic feelings for him, three that the two of them are extremely close, and a couple more but that’s a different conversation). even Laurance brings this up after they escape the whole werewolf wedding thing. Laurance told Aphmau he was going to stop making advances because he didn’t want to be unfair to Garroth. He said he wouldn’t make advances unless she wanted him to.

that’s kind of the part that reminds me of Luka and Marinette because he feels so strongly about her in every way possible, and she just doesn’t return that (although it could still be due to all the stress Aphmau goes under). but knowing how canon Aphmau in mcd acts, i feel like if she undoubtedly wanted to be with Laurance, then she would have told him and they would have been together

and then we come to Aaron. he ends up being there for Aphmau in ways Laurance can’t because Laurance has never been a lord. Laurance has never lost the entire village he cared for and nurtured the same way Aphmau and Aaron have, so Aphmau can’t talk to Laurance about things pertaining to that. and on top of that, Aphmau gets pregnant by Aaron

that is especially where my point about Luka and Marinette comes in. they would work well together and Luka (Laurance) is obviously the better choice, at least to me, for Marinette (Aphmau), but he deserves so much more than what his love interest is giving him. he deserves someone that won’t push him to the side because someone she likes more is interested, he deserves someone that will be wholly devoted to him like he is to her

if you’ve seen Miraculous, remember how Luka used all those pretty metaphors to describe Marinette? and she liked the metaphors but she didn’t like him because she was in love with Adrien? that’s Aphmau and Laurance in Jessica’s original mcd. Aphmau liked the pretty words Laurance said to her, she liked the time he devoted to her, she liked that Laurance was practically at her beck and call, but her heart always belonged to something else, whether that be a cause, a person, or organizations.

could you perhaps write a he/him lesbian Laurance and aroace Aphmau fic with them in a queer platonic relationship?? set in diaries pretty please

MADE WITH LOVE

pairing : mcd laurance x aphmau (qpr specifically) synopsis : laurance and aphmau go back to their home after a long and tiring day of helping out the village. however, the two aren't just going to lay about and do nothing for the rest of the night! both of them begin messing with each other as they attempt to make their dinner for the evening! tags : pre-established relationship, cooking together, cuddling, platonic, romantic, both? yes, they are not friends nor are they dating (they are a secret third thing), he/him lesbian laurance, aroace aphmau, queer platonic relationship word count : 1.7k a/n : first off, this request is by far the best thing i have ever seen. it feels so catered towards me that it drives me crazy. this really is how i see them in my headcanons!!! i love them so much. - i'm going to write this based off my own experience from being in a qpr, so it may be different from someone else's experience! queer platonic relationships can be different in all sorts of way, as it is not a clear cut relationship in any form! in any case, i hope you enjoy!

MASTERLIST

It had been a long day of patrolling around Phoenix Drop.

As usual, Aphmau and Laurance had made their way across the whole village, making sure nothing troublesome was occurring while also helping out anyone who needed it.

From Nana baking far too many pastries, to Emmalyn fainting in the marketplace due to staying up for the past three days reading, and Logan missing a crate of his products? They for sure had their hands full for the day.

After delivering the abundance of sweets around the village, carrying Emmalyn to the nearest doctor, and scouring across the nearby forest to find the crate… the two were more than tired.

Laurance and Aphmau groaned as they slowly made their way to their shared home; their bones aching from all the work they went through over the course of the day.

As soon as they walked through the door, Aphmau spread herself out on the nearest chair, letting out a satisfied sigh at the soft cushion beneath her.

“Oh Irene, how I’ve missed you, chair.”

Laurance chuckled as he placed down his sword sheath and began rifling through the cabinets. “Is this your new version of the table?” He asked as he began setting down dough on the counter.

With her most dramatic gasp, she responded, “No! Nothing will ever replace that table.” Aphmau repositioned herself so she was leaning over the back of the chair, looking at Laurance. “What are you doing?”

He pulled open a drawer and began picking out utensils, giving Aphmau an amused look. “What does it look like I’m doing? I’m making us dinner.”

“How can you even bring yourself to make something after today? I was just planning on passing out early.” As if to taunt her words, Aphmau’s stomach growled. She turned to her stomach, frowning. “Okay, that was uncalled for.” She poked her stomach before turning to Laurance with a grin. “What are we having?”

Laurance couldn’t help but scoff. “We? Well seeing as I’m making this all alone I was planning on making it for myself…”

She pouted at the idea of not eating tonight. “You’re cruel, Laur.”

“Maybe if you helped…” He began.

Aphmau practically threw herself off the chair, stumbling as she stood up and walked towards the brunette. “I’m doing this for the food, not because I like you in any way.” She dramatically pouted, grabbing the dough from Laurance’s hands playfully. “So, let me ask again, what are we having?”

Laurance grinned, as he had been cooking up this idea in his brain since they first woke up.

“Bread.”

A simple meal to most, sure, but to Aphmau? This was everything to her. That one word had her practically floating in the air.

Since the first day Laurance moved in with her and their curious relationship began, Aphmau had become obsessed with the way this woman cooks and bakes. Ever since they ran out of the bread he had made a week ago, Aphmau has been begging for him to make more. So now? Her wish was finally granted.

She started to jump up and down, before hugging her partner close. “I take back what I said about not liking you. I now tolerate you at a high level.”

Laurance giggled at the comment. “What does that even mean?”

“It means let’s start baking this bread!” Aphmau grabbed the bag of flour from one of the cabinets before slamming it onto the counter. “So, what do we do first, boss?”

“Well, first…” Laurance grabbed the flour Aphmau had not so graciously placed, moving it alongside the dough before walking behind Aphmau. He gestured to her with his eyebrows raised. “May I?”

Aphmau nodded, allowing him to grab her hands and began to knead the dough. “We need to knead the dough in order to help the dough’s gluten bond together to make sure it holds its shape and rises correctly when we’re baking it.” Laurance furrowed his eyebrows, focusing on the dough as he spoke.

Aphmau tilted her head up to look at her guard, smiling. “You really know your stuff, huh?”

He nodded. “Yeah. I’ve been baking my own bread since Joh took me in from the orphanage.” The comment made his mind start to wander back to the memories he shared as a kid, his hands releasing Aphmau’s subconsciously.

A sinister smile grew on her face as a plan came to fruition. “Oh? You’ve been baking for that long?”

A fond smile grew on his face. “Yep… He taught me everything I know-”

As Laurance was focused on talking; distracted by his memories, Aphmau took the chance to take a handful of flour and throw it in his face.

He began to cough, a cloud of dust appearing. His face was covered completely with the white powder, so that when he opened his eyes, the light blue stuck out amongst the snowy plain that was his face.

“You’re joking.”

“No, no, I take my job as a flour thrower very seriously.” 

Laurance coughed again, this time sending excess flour towards Aphmau’s head; lightly dusting her raven hair with white.

He moved to place his hands on Aphmau’s again, guiding them to the bag of flour.

“Laurance, what are you-”

Before she could finish, Laurance had used Aphmau’s own hands to throw flour in her own face. 

“There. Now we’re even.” Laurance chuckled.

Like clockwork, she began to cough at the powder as well.

She turned around to face him, her face the same powdery white landscape his own appearance shared. “Okay. I deserved that.”

Laurance took one look at her and…

He laughed.

He laughed hard.

The look of her powdered face in contrast to her dark hair just sent him into a giggling fit.

Laurance released her hands, falling back against the cabinets, holding his abdomen as he cried out laughing.

“Hey! Stop laughing at me!”

After a few moments, his laughter started to die down, before he took one more look at Aphmau and simply lost it once more.

Aphmau pouted, crossing her arms and sticking her head up in an act of defiance. “You know, you look exactly like I do right now, right?”

The thought of that seemed to make matters worse, as the woman Aphmau called her partner was now wheezing through the powder, almost seemingly in pain from how he gripped himself. “Oh my Irene-”

Aphmau raced around the kitchen, before her eyes landed on a cloth, quickly using it to wipe her face, before throwing it at the brunette. “Laurance, you are unbelievable, you know that?”

Laurance’s chuckles had died down as he caught the cloth, allowing him to take much needed breaths, his stomach aching from laughing so much. “Says the girl who started this in the first place!” He yelled as he used the other side of the fabric to clean his own face.

“Well excuse me for being joyous and whimsical!” She huffed. “Now come on, let’s go back to baking this bread!” Laurance rolled his eyes before the two went back to their earlier position; with Aphmau slowly applying the flour to the dough and Laurance helping her knead it.

Things went smoothly after that, as they had put the dough over the fire to let it rise.

They both sat on the chairs across the room, waiting for the bread to finish cooking while they sat on top of each other.

“Is it done yet? I’m bored.” She whined, lightly kicking Laurance as they were spread across the sofa.

He pushed her foot away with a grin. “Any minute now, my Lord.”

Aphmau groaned, rolling her eyes so far back that one would think they’d get trapped behind her head. She brought her hands up, doing quotation marks. “My lord.” She mocked, sticking her tongue out. “Laurance, I do hope you see me as more than just a lord. We are quite literally partners.”

Laurance gasped, bringing his hand to his mouth in a state of fake shock. “Really? I had no idea!” 

Aphmau kicked him slightly harder, with Laurance trying to shoo away her boot. After a silent playful fight between the two, Laurance pushed Aphmau off of him to get up and check on the bread.

As he approached the fireplace, he placed a knife in the bread, testing to see that no dough came out. He had to make sure it was baked through thoroughly. 

After taking the knife out and finding nothing, he smiled and grabbed a cloth, carefully pulling the tray of bread out.

With a sing-songy voice, he called, “Oh Aphmau…”

That was all she needed to hear to jump off the sofa and head straight towards the Shadow Knight.

Laurance held the bread out of reach as she made grabby hands at the hot tray. “My lady, please wait! It’s still hot!”

She groaned before stomping herself over to the table, sitting down with a pout. “How long do I have to wait now?”

Laurance placed the tray on the countertop, allowing it to cool down. He approached Aphmau, sitting himself on the table in front of her. “About five minutes.” He leaned in closer, a mischievous smile growing on his face. “And I know just how to preoccupy our time until then.”

A chill shot down Aphmau’s spine at those words. She knew what was coming.

Within seconds, Laurance pounced towards her, his hands immediately tickling her in all her sensitive spots. This was her one weakness… and that bastard was using it against her.

Aphmau could hardly breath, wheezing and coughing as her partner relentlessly attacked her with tickles. If Laurance wasn’t so aware of how to mess with her, maybe she would have won this battle long ago.

After a few pleas from Aphmau, Laurance finally moved back with a sigh, as if he was the one getting tickled in the first place.

What a drama queen.

Aphmau held her hand to her chest, feeling her own heartbeat as she let herself recover from Laurance’s tomfoolery.

“I… despise… you…” She panted.

Laurance smirked. “Oh really?” He jumped off the table and approached the counter, pointing at the now cooled off bread. “How about we see how you feel after we eat, okay?”

mcd memes to get me out of art block

Song lyrics from ponyphonic’s “Feed Me With Your Heart” because it’s a perfect fit

I feel like you could put all of my MCD AUs on a sliding scale of “good shadow knight Laurance, does no harm” to “very evil shadow knight Laurance, does all of the harm,” and what I’m dubbing the “Judas AU” goes all the way to the right. In this, Laurance is the one chosen as the Shadow Lord’s vessel, not Aaron, because of how close he is to Irene. He’s her permanent bodyguard and one of her dearest allies. It’s like Irene was delivered to him on a silver platter, really. Now all that’s left for him to do, is to have some fun.

Laurance ends up becoming the main supervillain of the series, more so than Zane or Gene, as the Goddess’s most trusted and beloved companion stabs her in the back and gleefully wages a bloody, interdimensional war against her as if it were his favorite dance.

(They get him back, eventually, when The Shadow Lord is dead)

my favorite episodes of MCD is Season 2 episodes 20 & 24 because of the absolute high they give me

like little 11 year old me FREAKED OUT when the only way Aphmau could calm Laurance down was to kiss him. THAT WAS MY ROMAN EMPIRE. I COULD TIME STAMP THE MOMENT IT STARTED IN EPISODE 20

and i might have absolutely forgotten the meaning of their second kiss in 24 but i freaked out then too because it was just so sweet. like omg this is a promise for you to not turn into a shadow knight anymore??? you’re also admitting it’s the last kiss you’ll initiate because you want to wait for Garroth no matter how long it takes??? 🥺

(i could’ve totally made that up)

BUT THAT WAS THE SHIT WHEN I FIRST WATCHED IT. I REMEMBER FREAKING OUT AND TELLING MY FRIENDS ABOUT IT IN ELEMENTARY

and now rewatching i’m remembering how i felt and it’s just so. the scenario is so cheesy but it makes me feel so fuzzy

i just finished my rewatch of episode 20 and i’m SO EXCITED FOR THE MOMENT LAURMAU HAS BY THE LAKE. i might not remember what that moment entailed exactly, BUT I REMEMBER THE FEELING IT GAVE ME
