Nathalie placed her hands behind her back, taking a few deep breaths. Alright, so she might have let her anger and annoyance get the better of her. Normally she had far more restraint, but this?

This was maybe just a fraction of what she held back.

Image

“Perhaps you could be quiet for one second, sir?” The honorific seemed more stressed than usual, and if one was to stand behind her, they would see that her hands were trembling. She wanted to hit him again, but she would be damned if she didn’t restrain herself.

He could tell she was still thinking about too much, too overwhelmed and feeling far too much for a woman who often kept such things restrained. When she clung to him, he found himself still somewhat caught off guard. He wasn’t used to her expressing feelings at all, let alone showing them in some physical form. The tears were enough, and now she was holding onto him as if her life depended on it.
Did it?
What was going to happen now? She knew he didn’t want this child, but what if she did? They weren’t suited for this, especially together. But apart…
He took in a deep breath, trying to dispel that thought. He was the terrible parent here. She may not be as good as his wife had been with raising a child but she was the only reason he and Adrien had at all kept up any sense of communication and compromise since she disappeared. She’d likely find it easier to raise this child on her own as compared to having his complications in the mix. He’d only make it harder.
But what would that mean for them?
“Do you need some water?” He asked, not often one for breaking silences but honestly finding this one torturous. All he could hear was her crying, the static in his mind, and his own heart pounding despite his attempts to stay calm. He didn’t part from her, honestly not sure if he should or not. Some water could possibly help her, though.
Image
Or, at least, it’d give him an opportunity to walk away enough to possible feel like her emotions weren’t suffocating him entirely.

Nathalie’s tears slowly stopped falling and her muffled sobbing began to finally die out. Everything about this situation was bad, but. . . Sometimes the world has funny ways of going about things that may be good for a person. And here she was, thinking that this was bad, hell, she was damn near agreeing with Gabriel that this was bad! Okay, she might have screwed up and brought this upon herself, upon the both of them, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t possibly make the best of it right?

The woman didn’t dare to meet Gabriel’s gaze when he asked if she wanted some water, merely giving a nod in response.

It took a bit of effort, yes, but Nathalie managed to drag that emotionless mask back upon her face, feeling the weight of it against her cheeks and press down harshly against her eyes. How long had she been performing this act? Years, she was certain. How interesting it would be to let it drop for someone.

And have it be someone who didn’t know the mask, either.

“Sir.”

Already back to being professional. Certainly her employer would be onto her, but she couldn’t give a damn at the moment. “I do hope you’ll allow me some time to fully consider whatever my decision may be.”

Because I know you won’t approve, but I can’t care right now. I won’t care. This baby is mine.

Oh, in case I didn’t say it here before, I actually got engaged to my lovely assistant ( @awomansoheartless ) during my hiatus. 

Image

Legit. Not in character

Though maybe we’ll make it happen in character hahahahahaha omg that’d be hilarious

So, yes, my Nathalie is my real life fiance. She’s amazing and you should go tell her so.

She somehow managed to have the rings AND the box hidden away from me and even ensured I wouldn’t be able to get packages or the mail the day they arrived.

Image

She’s a sneak like that.

If we do this in character. . . nah, I don’t know how to actually go about it, pfft. You’re also a dork for making this post.

I swear that the roleplay this is inspired by is serious as can be. This little comic is inspired by a thread I have going over on @darkentheirhearts with @awomansoheartless where Nathalie confronts Gabriel for not taking his meds…and he’s a stubborn butt about it.

It’s honestly very serious, but this is all I could think when I wrote this scene. I can’t do this stuff justice when I’ve been drinking.

(hesitantly slides back onto this blog because the newest episodes gave me feels)

. . . hi, nathalie is back now.

I am going to be a BIT selective with stuff, um. I know I have like. Two things in my drafts to actually post and at least one or two replies to do? Other than that, this is. . . basically a blank slate now.

Let’s see if I can handle writing Nathalie again

                        “I don’t recall anyone but myself having permission to have and use said ass.”                                           A brief pause and then- “Sir.”

Okay, I’m gonna be honest with you guys. I haven’t had the muse for Nathalie (or for Marinette) in a while. And what isn’t fair is how I keep making those posts about how I’ll get to replies, and then just don’t deliver on them and leave everyone waiting. I’m sorry about that.

So, I wanted you all to know that I’m not sure when I’ll get to replies. Shit’s been hard. Work is stressful, the fact that I might need a new or second job is stressful, and just a whole lot of other bullshit. Everything is fucking stressful.

Hopefully I can get this sorted out. Hopefully I can muster up the muse and dish out replies. Just. . . keep me in your thoughts, guys? Thanks.

It was one thing to be lost in one’s mind, but Gabriel had a way of taking it further than was healthy.
He didn’t even realize it, which was the worst part. Not only was he distant and thought far too much, but the trauma of losing his wife had been far worse on him than most knew. He could be lost in his head for hours, sometimes worse. 
Nooroo had learned when he could talk and when not, because sometimes he wasn’t his Master, but merely a broken man who had no earthly idea of his other self’s actions. It was best not to scare him or confuse him by letting him know he had a kwami nearby.
Gabriel would be just as surprised as anyone to find out he was Hawkmoth, and Hawkmoth preferred to keep it that way.
He kept it well hidden, even from his own mind, but sometimes that side of him would take over at unexpected times. Gabriel would be left unaware as Hawkmoth walked around and took over. Hawkmoth could pretend, sure, acting like his other self was easy. At least, he thought so. Sometimes, however, he was just a bit too excited, too animated, and, perhaps, a bit too angry.
Now was one of those times.
“If you do this again, I will make sure you regret it with every fiber of your being. Do you understand me?”

She knew him for too long, and therefore, knew him too well.

It had to be because she had worked for the man for several years now that she had noticed this odd shift in personality.

Of course, it took her some time to realize that the man she worked for seemed far more emotional at times. Nathalie was used to seeing the man resigned to hiding his emotions, to acting like nothing got through to him. There were walls he had built up, walls that grew more and more when there was the accident with his wife (and what that accident was, she was never informed of, only that it was the cause of Mrs. Agreste’s unfortunate passing.) But the walls seemed to crumble down, and she would see on security tapes (tapes she should be erasing and not keeping for her own personal record) that there was nothing holding back the sheer extreme assault of emotions that Gabriel would suddenly exhibit.

With the security tapes she had and news reports on what the public knew of Hawkmoth, it wasn’t even a guess to decide that the two men were one in the same. When she investigated further, she discovered the thing that was the key to Hawkmoth’s abilities (a kwami, he called himself after he had approached her and she had begun to take care of him while Gabriel was Gabriel.)

What else is an assistant (who happens to be working for a magical terrorist and his power-giving creature) to do with this knowledge?

Attempt to find a way to get her employer to actually get proper mental help.

Clearly, she had nudged a little too hard this time around, recognizing with ease that she was no longer speaking with Gabriel, but instead, speaking with Hawkmoth. Knowing it would be in her best interest to not reveal this to him, Nathalie merely lowered her head, nodding slightly.

“Of course, sir. Since it seems you’ve clearly ended this topic for now, perhaps we should discuss more pressing matters? I recall that you have several designs to review right now that many potential interns have submitted.”

a more accurate doodle of Le Paon, who i should draw more often, and whom i still believe to be nathalie in a trenchcoat and hat

Fuuuuuu what if they set up Nathalie to be the kindest nanny to Adrien, but the cruelest villain to Chat Noir??

i’m not sure about “nanny” but

you. i like the way you think.

I need this in my life so badly omg.

Subordinate to Gabriel and only goes out of line enough to try and help communication in their family and patch things up, taking a lot of care to make sure Adrien has a good life under the circumstances.

But when she’s Le Paon she’s Gabe’s boss, harsh and unrelenting, and fights Chat Noir tooth and nail for the end goal. She unknowingly just adds to the problems their civilian selves are dealing with and only complicates things more.

I love it!

old married couple: GabeNath

  • They’re not old but once their relationship is established they act like an old married couple
  • They’re old
  • Gabriel brings Nathalie breakfast in bed on Sundays because she still works really hard for him during the week
  • Nathalie steals all the covers and doesn’t apologize the next day
  • “Wear the sweater.” “No.” “Gabriel, you’ll look nice in it, I promise.” “Then BURY ME IN IT WHEN I DIE, NATHALIE.” 
  • “Of course, sir.” “Nathalie we’re married s t o p.” (she has yet to break that habit and he’s lowkey turned on over the whole ‘sir’ thing leave them alone)
  • They vacationed to Iceland and Gabriel got drunk on icewine, jumped into a hot spring naked, and then Nathalie had to fetch him but ending up falling in (he pulled her in) with all of her clothes on. 
  • She threatens to haunt him in the afterlife is he outlives her. 
  • He’s the funny one, mainly because humor is so unexpected coming from him. 
  • Depending on her shoes Nathalie is taller than Gabriel. She messes up his hair when this is the case, and calls him “Sport.” 
  • They’re Starbucks orders are the same now
  • They’ve been caught accidentally wearing the same outfit (navy slacks and a white and purple striped dress shirt)

Everyone who loved the GabeNath moment in part 2 of Adrien’s Posters (here) inspired this

Oh my GOD you have to draw that last one now
