Won't Tell a Soul Exert-

His mouth had dropped open, staring at the superhero in complete and utter disbelief. Every other function of his brain had stopped working besides the one that was now looping the phrase, “Marinette is Ladybug,” a thousand times over in the space of a second.

He tensed when she turned, horror crossing her face as she saw him standing there, so pale and freaked out that there was no way he hadn’t seen what she really hoped he hadn’t seen.

Because he had absolutely seen.

“Oh my god,” she whispered, her eyes wide in shock.

“Oh my god,” Nino echoed, his hands balling up into fists and his arms curling close to his chest.

“Oh my god,” Ladybug screamed, grabbing roughly at her pigtails, pulling a ridiculous expression of terror only Marinette could manage.

“OH MY GOD” Nino finally broke, hands at the top of his head before he just started shouting, his brain breaking in panic.

“Nino shut up!” Ladybug tried to stop him, holding out her hands in front of her like she was corralling a herd of startled chickens. But hearing the voice he now recognized as Marinette’s come out of his freaking herojust made him keep shouting. It was like a dam of information had collapsed, like some weird spell had kept him from seeing it this whole time, because now it completely made sense.

He was tackled pretty roughly to the ground, Ladybug slamming her hand over his mouth to muffle his freaked out shouting.

“STAFHKSOIFHKS.” Nino’s muffled shouting was made unintelligible, but he still stared up at Marinette’s incredibly familiar too blue eyes that were still wide from panic.

Send me an excerpt of a story of mine and I will provide commentary 

Pilot: Okay this has got to be one of the most fun exchanges I got to write. I say “I got to” because thats really how it felt, because once the concept occurred to me I was just so tickled by the idea I had to get it down. This section occurs in the first chapter of Won’t Tell a Soul, and sets the tone for the whole dang story. Of course it establishes the main point which is, Nino now knows Ladybug’s identity, but it’s really more about the humor of the exchange and showing Nino’s genuine and trustworthy nature. These two things would be heavily leaned on and continually reinforced for the rest of the story. I wanted to show that Nino really was just a guy, he refers to himself as nameless and unimportant later on when compared to heroes, but then I work to discredit that. Yes he IS just a guy, he’s just a dude who walked into a pretty crazy secret and now his life is really different as a result, but by no means is he unimportant. He is the main character in the story for a reason and I was excited to take the opportunity to prove his importance not only to himself, in the story, but to the fans who would read it. People were not expecting a Nino fic at this time, though surely people know better now lol. But Nino fics were incredibly rare and short, and as far as I’m aware he was never all that important even if it was from his perspective because it focused on the LoveSquare. If you’ve read WTaS you’ll know the love square is pretty unimportant, its around yes but is mostly about Nino and how he handles secrecy and respect. Later on in the sequel the LoveSquare is even MORE unimportant, and has nearly nothing to do with anything. That’s because this was his story, which no one was expecting. That’s part of why I like this section so much, because its a fairly clear transition that throws Nino into the center of everything because now hes IN ON IT, and he can’t be shoved to the side. From there on it was essentially me saying “Can’t get rid of him now, let me show you what he’s got.”
