    Summary

    Adrien has mastered the art of the smile. Even while his mind is on poor behavior, when he's caught beneath a barrage of unkind thoughts to himself, he's still able to keep his smile. Attend his friends' parties, maintain small talk, get through the day — and hopefully his friends won't realize how messed up he really is.

    Everyone is out-pacing him. While he's barely getting out of bed in the morning, his friends are making waves, changing lives, getting engaged.

    He can't even get his girlfriend to text him back.

    So, sure. Maybe he's not in the best head space right now — but 'suicidal'? Ladybug's certainly just reading too deeply into things. But if her concern for Chat Noir's mental state is enough to get her reaching out, well, he won't turn down the opportunity to chat with a friend. Besides, Ladybug seems to be having a rough go of it, too. Maybe they can help each other out.

    (a Ladynoir hurt/comfort texting fic, with established Adrienette)

    Summary

    “This is my umbrella,” Adrien told him, as though he didn't quite believe it and the words would bring some sense to it.

    “Even I could have told you that,” the kwami said with a shrug, his focus returning to his meal.

    “Why did she keep my umbrella?” he asked, only half-directing the question at Plagg.

    The kwami, however, chose to answer anyway. “Well, she is your friend, isn't she?” he asked as he finally gave in and stuffed the cheese in his mouth. He swallowed, closing his eyes in satisfaction. “What's so weird about it?”


    When Marinette sees Chat Noir on her way home in the rain, she doesn't think twice about giving him her umbrella. Only later does he realize that this is his umbrella. But why would she bother keeping it? He's determined to figure the girl out, but since she can't seem to speak to him as Adrien, his only option is as his alter-ego.

    Summary

    It wasn’t fair, he knew. That she had to hide everything because of him. That he couldn’t eat lunch with her. Kiss her on the rooftop. Hold her hand.
    Marinette deserved to have her hand held.

     

    Chat Noir and Marinette have been dating for a little over two months now, and he loves her, but only when he is allowed. Is it love if it's all in secret? Can it really be love if it's hidden, and no one ever sees it? Is it enough?

    Summary

    When the prosecution starts throwing around the word victim in reference to Adrien, he has to stuff his hands under his thighs to keep himself from bolting out of the courtroom.

    Adrien had felt unsafe during those last few weeks, but, until he had woken up and seen Father silhouetted in his bedroom doorway, that had only been paranoia. Father was controlling and cold, but he wasn’t hateful. Adrien was isolated. He was often hungry. And some weeks ago, when he had snuck out to visit Nino, sitting thigh-to-thigh on his bed while Adrien cried in that silent, crumbling way of his, he hadn’t argued when Nino put a hand on his shoulder and said, tentatively, That’s abuse.

    But Adrien remembers being small and Father touching his hair after he’d aced another test; Father holding his scribbled drawings like they were something precious, and framing them around his office; Father, dressed as Hawkmoth, his eyes wild behind the mask, lashing his sword against Adrien’s baton; Father, collapsed against Mum, crying into her ashy hair.

     

    Adrien finds out Gabriel is Hawkmoth, and Gabriel gets to bring his long-waited plan into action.
