How differently might the events of season 2 have gone if Adrien had also known of Master Fu from the start?

Ladybug and Chat Noir are almost adults, and with the threat of Hawk Moth still lurking above Paris they are beginning to realize just how limited their future is.

They love each other, they can't deny that, but marriage at eighteen just feels a bit too rushed for them. Revealing who they are behind the mask will also change everything. So the fact that it may be their only option isn't a comfort. With their partner by their side though, they're ready to face whatever the world throws at them.

Hamid put proper thought into this party- he’d got alcohol, food and found the only florist in Damascus that had survived the drought and bought bunches of holly and mistletoe. He’d even invited Oscar Wilde. Not that there had been much point in that. Wilde had two drinks then fell asleep in the corner.

[alexseanchai]

one of these days I need to actually watch Good Omens; meanwhile that summary and tags have 100% sold me on reading this fic

[shy_magpie]

I absolutely adore Good Omens, book and show, but am concerned I may have mislead you. While IMO they clearly love each other in canon, Crowely and Aziraphale don't kiss or use the L word on screen. There is Discourse about that, which I refuse to be drawn into, but I don't want you to feel betrayed or deceived.

[alexseanchai]

I have already seen the Discourse 🙂 am amused by Tilda Swinton portraying Aziraphale
