Summary
"Well," Sabine says, much more thoughtfully than Ladybug had expected or been prepared for. "If we legally adopt you both, son, that might make the wedding a bit tricky."
"Ma-Madame Cheng!" Ladybug exclaims, feeling herself flush brightly. "I'm- I'm flattered, really, thank you, but this- this should only be temporary, we don't really need-" Marinette swallows, trying not to look at Chat Noir. "Um, adoption."
She shoots a quick glance over at her partner after all, but his sudden starstruck look is both the opposite of reassuring and sends some unidentifiable emotion shooting through her. She knows he's been enjoying this particular akuma fight more than she has- she has the really, deeply unsettling sense that Chat Noir didn't have this kind of fun as a child before and he seems to be trying to make up for as much lost time as possible as fast as possible.

Summary
"How did you even get in here?" Juleka asks, even though she's fairly certain that she both knows the answer and doesn't want to hear the answer.
Chat Noir shrugs, averting his eyes and rubbing the back of his neck. His tail flicks, once, and falls still. "You have a window, don't you?"
"It's a porthole," Juleka says flatly. "Unlike almost every other window in Paris, it's a little tricky to get through."
"...do you want a Miraculous or not?" Chat Noir asks. His tail flicks again, in agitation this time, she's pretty sure, and Juleka freezes up.
Because that isn't why she thought he was here.

Summary
Adrien isn't surprised, exactly, that there are secret passages in the mansion. He's surprised that he hasn't found more of them, because he's certainly gone looking before, but he's never been surprised that they exist. It's only because of Nino that Adrien knows now that secret passages aren't actually standard for mansions and estates.
But Adrien hadn't known about the safe behind his mother's portrait.
And he hadn't known about the elevator.
He had not been prepared for any of this.

Summary
She almost, almost catches the glass in time.
She should be able to catch it in time. If she can parry a sword in the same amount of time, she should surely be able to catch a falling glass, no matter if she’d been lax enough to let it slip in the first place.
She doesn’t catch it, and it hits the floor and shatters, shards scattering everywhere and the little water still in it splashing across the floor of Marinette’s room, and Kagami- freezes.

Summary
She- They come out to Chat Noir first.
He listens to them intently, not interrupting even when they start to wish he would, and when they’ve run out of breath and explanation both he asks tentatively whether they mind if he cuts his patrol short.
The tight, wound feeling in the pit of their stomach gets worse, but they agree anyway even as their spirits plummet.
Chat Noir is their safety net. He’s the one they thought it would be safest to talk to first. For him to listen so attentively only to leave feels like glass shards in their lungs. It feels so much worse than they’d expected that they consider taking it back, laughing it off when they meet up again the next night for patrol.
Chat calls them back that same night, before the sun’s more than a hazy idea on the horizon, and asks to meet up again.

Summary
It starts with such small things.
It starts with things Nino does without thinking about it, because they’re just the sort of thing you do for friends, and he’s never had to think about them before. Nino hasn’t had that many friends himself, at least not outside of their class, but the ones he does have are good friends- he doesn’t need more than what he has.
Adrien needs more than what he has, though. Adrien needs friends like Nino needs music.

Summary
A giggle bursts out of her as Adrien runs past and throws himself onto the hotel bed, squirming around to grin up at her with half his hair stuck to the side of his head. “I win.”
“We weren’t competing,” Marinette tells him, setting down both their bags. To her surprise, Adrien travels a lot lighter than the rest of them do, like he can’t quite figure out what he’s supposed to bring with.
Or like he’d spent more than one night planning around needing to leave in a hurry, but Marinette doesn’t think that she should bring that up. She can’t tell him why she’d have thought of it, anyway.
Adrien blows some of his hair out of his face. He’d quit using any hair products immediately after they’d left Paris, and she thinks he’s trying to let his hair grow out, too. “I was competing. And I won.“

Summary
Marinette finds Adrien lounging in the crow’s nest, sprawling in a strip of sunlight in a way that absolutely cannot be safe. Plagg’s ears are just barely visible in the hood of Adrien’s Kitty Section jacket- ever since Luka had given him that jacket, Marinette hasn’t seen a trace of his old overshirt, so she’s glad Plagg’s made himself so comfortable so quickly.
She only hesitates a moment before she joins them.
“Hey,” Adrien greets her drowsily, not bothering to get up. Or move. “Anyone figure out where Rose and Juleka got to?“

Summary
Kindness doesn’t come easy to her.
It should, she thinks. It does for her classmates, for her father, for Sabrina and Adrien.
Rose and Marinette are kind without ever putting in any visible effort, in a way that makes Chloé’s mind itch. It comes easily to them. It must. They’re not like her, where it’s a struggle to hand out a compliment that doesn’t have barbs in it.

Summary
"This might have been a mistake,“ Marinette whispers to herself, clicking her bracelet backwards frantically and letting out a sigh of relief when Triple Dragon is back at her side instead of charging recklessly forward.
He’s already starting to charge again, but this time around she catches him before he can build up any momentum.
She tries to ignore the chill down her spine that whispers she’d used her Second Chance too late in the fight.

Summary
"What did you want to tell me, kitty?“
Adrien turns over in his tree, folding his arms beneath his chin and grinning down at his partner. His tail flicks, and by the way he sees her roll her eyes at him Ladybug is well aware that his Cheshire cat impression is very much on purpose. “Come up here and I’ll show you!”
“Come down here and tell me,” Ladybug bargains, folding her arms and tilting her head up at him. By the lazy curl to her smile she’s not actually upset with him, so Adrien relaxes. “You’re not even supposed to know I’m here, Chat."
"And yet here we both are." He purrs, unable to help himself, as Ladybug rolls her eyes again and then swings herself into a neighbouring tree. He thinks about telling her it’s cheating if she doesn’t actually climb, but it doesn’t seem worth it. "You got my note?"

Summary
Nino’s never realised before that he can outrun an akuma. He’s not sure he could do that before, but he’s apparently capable of it now, or at least he hopes he’s capable of it now.
It’s not working as well as he would like, because the same fear that speeds his steps also lends speed to the akuma itself, but it is working. Mostly. Sort of.
The butterfly’s going to catch up to him eventually, though, isn’t it-
Getting abruptly grabbed around the waist is a surprise.
Getting abruptly grabbed and then shoved protectively behind someone is a surprise, too.

stray cat strut by GuardianKarenTerrier for Miraculous_Elcie

Summary
"Home sweet home," Adrien grumbles, detransforming as he slips through the apartment window.
He's pretty sure this apartment's been sold, now, and that means that he's going to have to find another place within the week. He'd like to find one sooner than that, but he's worn out enough from the four akuma today that he doesn't even want to muster the energy to look for some place new right now. There are roofs and alleys he can claim for a night or two until he has time to look, anyway.
Plagg's so tired that his grumbling doesn't manage words. He wanders over to the backpack they'd stashed in a corner, out of view of any windows, and phases into it instead of bothering to pull any of his cheese out.
(They'd run out of the last of their Camembert days ago, but Plagg got upset enough when Adrien kept apologising for only being able to get him cheddar that he's not going to bring it up again).

Summary
Marinette's tried not to fall asleep transformed, and she's been mostly successful.
It's not like she wants to go ahead and take a nap during a battle, after all, and right after one- okay, she might want to right after one, but their timers mean that's a definite no.
The only time it would ever be a possibility is on patrol, and finding somewhere to sleep instead would not only defeat the point of patrolling, it would leave her vulnerable in a way she doesn't like. She knows she's a heavy sleeper and she's not sure that the magic in their Miraculous can counteract that.
So no matter how tired she might be, she doesn't sleep without detransforming first.
She's never even thought to ask Chat Noir if he does the same.

Summary
Her partner's luck must be cancelling hers out today, because at no point had either of them planned to end up trapped in the sarcophagus together.
"I hate this stupid exhibit," Marinette mutters, straining to shove the lid off the sarcophagus. Normally, that's no problem when she's transformed, but this particular villain must have them under something heavy or have dropped them underwater or something because it doesn't budge.
Face pressed into her stomach, having been tumbled in after her in a particularly undignified position that Marinette is doing her best to ignore, Chat Noir whimpers.
She pauses.
He hasn't actually said anything in a while now.

Summary
"Kagami!“ Ladybug’s a little more breathless than she’d like, but while she’s gratified that Kagami’s reaction to seeing her had been to slip away somewhere private immediately, there’s also the fact that chasing after Kagami tends to be difficult even for Ladybug. “Are you free right now? We could use your help with this one.”
“I will always free my schedule for you." Kagami’s eyes flash, and Marinette has a deeply disorienting moment where she’s sure Kagami is about to call her ‘my Lady.”
She’s not sure how she feels about that. Up until the last few seconds she would have said she didn’t want anyone but Chat Noir calling her that at all.
(She probably would have said she didn’t want Chat Noir calling her that either, but she knows deep down that’s a lie).
Marinette shakes off her thoughts and hands the Dragon Miraculous over to Kagami, who wastes no time transforming.

Summary
The blizzard doesn't leave them with a lot of options, but at least the tunnels offer some safety from the storm. Chat Noir might be the only of them who can see in them, but that's hardly a deterrent for his partner and their team, especially when their other option is to stay out in the snowstorm that envelops all of Paris.
Besides, it turns out there's a whole lot they need to say to each other in the shelter and the dark of the tunnels beneath their city.

Summary
After Hero's Day, Ladybug and Chat Noir had mostly gone back to their routines. That's their plan after Miracle Queen, too.
It doesn't work for very long. It doesn't work for much longer than about half a day.
It feels like they can barely finish one fight before the next one's already on them, and they don't have any allies anymore. Hawkmoth knows he has an advantage now and he's pressing it as hard as he can.
But Ladybug and Chat Noir do still have the same solid foundation they've always had, one that Hawkmoth's never truly succeeded at taking away from them.
They still have each other, and with each other they're willing to face the whole world.

Summary
He doesn't even register that anything's strange at first. He spends more time transformed than not, whenever he can get away with it. He's long since gotten used to the feeling of his ears swivelling, his tail flicking.
It takes him far too long to realise that he shouldn't be feeling his ears or his tail right now.
He assumes at first that it's only phantom sensations. That happens sometimes, when he's stayed transformed for most of a day (or overnight, or- he stays transformed a lot. Whenever he can get away with it). There's usually a span of time after where he still moves like he's transformed until he has to consciously readjust.
He knows Ladybug feels something similar, although without the ears and tail.
The ears and tail that Adrien, somehow, still has.
