Fanfic Sunday post for 10/6/2019

[shy_magpie]

Sorry I'm late, I always think this is the year I won't lose track of things between the High Holy Days, and I always end up completely forgetting something big. At any rate, I hope you have all been reading good fic and have lots to share in the comments.

[I wrote "Run(a)way Model" the other month, set it aside, came back to it several new canon installments later, decided revising it for canon compliance was more trouble than it was worth, and posted it with an explicit suggestion that anyone interested in the rest of the story write the rest of the story. Lara Winner came through big time.]


when the glitter fades (4421 words) by GuardianKarenTerrier
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Miraculous Ladybug
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Adrien Agreste | Chat Noir, Plagg (Miraculous Ladybug), Marinette Dupain-Cheng | Ladybug
Additional Tags: Protective Plagg, supportive marinette, Platonic Marichat - Freeform, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, still counts if adrien doesn't realise he's hurting right, good cat dad plagg, Autistic Adrien Agreste
Series: Part 5 of Week Three: Talents
Summary:

Plagg watches in frustration as Adrien tries again and fails again to tug his arm out of Chloe's grasp. Instead of trying another time, like Plagg keeps telling the kid he needs to do, Adrien gives up after only those first few futile attempts.

Plagg curls up smaller in Adrien's pocket and pointedly scratches at his chosen, though he's careful not to actually break skin. Adrien's minute flinch is enough to let Plagg know the kid has noticed, but he still doesn't pull away, even though Plagg can feel the way he's gone tense and stiff like he's desperate to get Chloe to let go of him.


like an anthem in my heart (5867 words) by GuardianKarenTerrier

Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Adrien Agreste | Chat Noir, Marinette Dupain-Cheng | Ladybug

Summary:

Adrien ends up making a snap decision- that if he can't avoid the akuma, he can at least make sure that it isn't Chat Noir that Ladybug has to fight.

"Claws in," he manages in a frantic wheeze, backing into the side of a building so fast that his back scrapes it. His claws scrape it, too, when he digs them into the brickwork a moment later, because his transformation doesn't drop and that's never happened before. "Plagg! Plagg, claws in, please-"

He's still trying to detransform when the akuma lands on his bell and sinks in.


we'll crack before we shatter (5564 words) by GuardianKarenTerrier
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Miraculous Ladybug
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Adrien Agreste | Chat Noir & Marinette Dupain-Cheng | Ladybug
Characters: Adrien Agreste | Chat Noir, Marinette Dupain-Cheng | Ladybug, Plagg (Miraculous Ladybug), Tikki (Miraculous Ladybug)
Additional Tags: Feast, Feast hurt me, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, ml paris is full of random greenhouses okay, Fluff, Literal Sleeping Together, feast spoilers, Identity Reveal, Protective Marinette Dupain-Cheng | Ladybug, Adrien Agreste Needs a Hug
Summary:

He doesn't even finish reading the letter.

He doesn't get much farther than 'I am truly sorry, Chat Noir. You have been an absolutely astounding holder of the Black Cat Miraculous-' and the realisation that the reassuring weight on his finger is gone, that the reassuring presence of his kwami is gone, and he's not prepared to lose Plagg. He was never going to be prepared to lose Plagg, but especially not in the dead of night with no warning, especially not now when he's already spent all day worrying about Nathalie.

(It's not 'nothing to worry about.' It's never nothing to worry about).

He skims the rest of the letter as fast as possible even as he's throwing himself out of bed, finding himself horribly torn at the news that Master Fu's taken Ladybug's Miraculous as well. There's a level of relief in knowing that it really isn't that he's failing somehow at being Chat Noir, but that doesn't begin to override his near-panic at waking to find Plagg gone, and if Tikki's gone too-

Then he might well be losing Ladybug as well.
