Greed, assassination plots, and love—oh my! A cursed vigilante, a clever seamstress, and a prince with far too many secrets. Marinette never expected to fall in love, unravel conspiracies, or be swept into a political scheme that could shake the kingdom to its core. Curses and true love never come easy, but does she have what it takes to wield the most powerful magic of all… love?

They make it a pattern.
They see each other, whether on the streets or a club or just at a clothing boutique because their patterns and lives have become mirrors from years of falling in and out of love. Marinette will smile at Chloé, walk over and greet her as if it hasn’t been mere months since they yelled at each other. Chloé will run her eyes over the shape of Marinette, from the slope of her nose to the curve of her lips, the shadow of her eyelashes and the gentle motions of her hand.
An offer to grab a coffee leads them to Marinette’s bedroom—always Marinette’s bedroom—and then they’ll be memorizing each other’s bodies and swallowing the gasps of the other as if it wasn’t just weeks ago that they were yelling and cursing out each other’s names. They’ll spend 24 hours like that, talking in the spaces between to catch the other up. They’ll mold themselves together again, foolishly believing that this time it’ll be permanent, this time they won’t begin to breed hate in their hearts.
We hope that you've had a good beginning of the year! As we only have a few gifts left to be posted, we wanted to ask that if you have not received a gift, to please contact us off anon to let us know so we can confirm that your gift is being worked on and will be posted shortly!

@thereisbeautyinflight hi! as ur mlbss gifter i wanted to gift u smth funky: a ladynoir au that’s been in my head for AGES
(sorry abt the bad pics)
anyway!
presenting:
In a dark era, two detectives take on the ever-unsolved case of the Butterfly Mask. Under the guise of Ladybug and Char Noir, however, two ordinary people begin their own investigations into each other.
Marinette is a perfectly ordinary woman, running a bakery. Her nights are spent in a mask, walking the streets of Paris with her partner.
Adrien models for his father’s company, having avoided the draft two years ago. At night, he slips through his father’s home’s security to become the Black Cat to his Lady’s luck.
Behind their information are TIKKI and PLAGG, two newly-minted AIs that say they’re from the future, sent to help Ladybug and Chat Noir discover the truth behind the famously unsolved Case of the Butterfly Mask.
aka a noir detective ladynoir au
My gift for @trishacollins ! Hi! I was your backup gifter for @mlsecretsanta ! Merry (super belated) Christmas 🎄 😂
A little re-imagining of the ending scene in Chat Blanc :>
I FINALLY GOT PAGE 1 DONE. Pages 2 and 3 are forthcoming (they are still in the rough stages) BUT I wanted to post *something* before my birthday tomorrow (which is also the deadline). I figured since you've been waiting for a gift for so long, I would just make you a 3 page comic.
If anyone likes what they see, please reblog and please support my ko-fi💜

Adrien pushed around the food on his plate, his gaze darting over to look at Nathalie for a moment. She was sitting off to the side, tapping away at her tablet as she worked.
“Nathalie?”
She looked up, her eyes showing just the slightest hint of confusion.
“Yes, Adrien?”
He shifted in his seat “How do you…how do you tell someone you love them?”
Nathalie blinked.
She sighed, taking off her glasses for a moment to rub at her forehead, before placing them back on the bridge of her nose and looking at Adrien.
“Adrien—”
“No, it’s fine, forget I said anything.” He said, already turning back to his food.
Nathalie didn’t move for a moment, before nodding and going back to her tablet.
Adrien tried to avoid crying.
He mostly succeeded, only a few tears making their way onto the wood of the table.
Hi - thanks for running this fun event! question, what happens if we never received a gift?
Hi! We still have a few people on our list getting back-up gifts, so there's a good chance you're on there if you haven't received one yet! If you want to know for sure, you can email us or send an ask and we'll check for you. Thanks for your patience!
Merry super-duper late Christmas @arisu-artnfics! Technically a back-up gifter. Anyway, I normally never take this long, but life got weird and hard. Nevertheless, you shall not be giftless anymore. I saw that you like Marichat, so I wrote a little something with the pair, with fluff and a dash of hurt/comfort with hopeful ending. To the @mlsecretsanta team, thank you for being so patient with me and giving me the opportunity to still be a part of this wonderful tradition. You guys are the best.
Snow softly fell down the city, leaving a thin layer of white dust on the streets. Every step Chat Noir took left footprints in the oddest of places for a normal person, but very typical of a cat themed superhero. Lamposts and ledges became slightly uncovered with every jump he took, until he landed on a rooftop close to a bakery he knew very well.
Chat Noir stepped closer to the railing, resting his forearms on it as he stared at the warm lights emitting from the building. He always enjoyed how warm Marinette’s childhood home seemed. And felt, from the times he had visited. He didn’t visit much these days, though.
Marinette had moved out of her parent’s once she started university. She mainly stopped by to visit her parents, or work the occasional shift when she needed some extra money. In that particular evening, she was most likely helping them with the Christmas Eve rush before having a pleasant dinner with them.
It was the reason he was out on patrol in the first place. Ladybug had offered to take the shift, or to at least accompany him. But he insisted on patrolling for the holiday. She had done enough after the toy drives that he missed due to work. Plus, it gave him the opportunity to have the wonderful view of a happy home.
And a good thing too, as he noticed their specials sign get knocked over by a rowdy tourist passing by. Chat Noir took out his baton on instinct and vaulted his way to the sidewalk. With a swift movement, he straightened up the sign. Only to get knocked again, along with his forehead, by the bakery door.
“Sorry!” the melodic voice of Marinette apologized. “I didn’t see you…Oh, hi Chat Noir.”
my @mlsecretsanta gift for @slopapapa-dingdong ! some ladynoir angst for you!!
