Summary
The universe is ever-changing. Often, the beliefs of those living in it aren’t. When this incompatibility reaches a breaking point, the result isn’t breakage. It’s… renewal, Regulus thinks. Revival, a reminder that change is inevitable, and if one can’t handle it…
Well. They’ll just have to.
This is the story of the universe Regulus lives in. It is not his, because the universe is indomitable, inviolable and inalienable. His job is simply to let it be. To conserve its principles, and watch as it is once again born out of a heat death, a collapse, a black hole.

Summary
Ginevran gods are immortal. Immortality is considered the greatest blessing: any other opinion is sacrilegious. They are able to entertain themselves endlessly and suffer zero consequences — violence, sex, drugs, alcohol — what more could they want? They can do it all, forever, and never die.
It’s perfection to the highest degree.
And Remus hates it.

Summary
After an emotionally draining Lila-akumatization, Ladybug and Chat Noir run into one another late at night and stop to lick each other’s wounds. They figuratively set aside the masks for one night and talk and laugh and tease and support one another. When Chat Noir accidentally shares too much, his cover is blown, and he ends up making a confession that he didn’t intend. Will Marinette break down the wall between them once and for all or reinforce it to keep them both safe?

Bookmarker's Notes
his tail loosely makes itself at home around her hips.
—
“Adrien, Chat Noir’s father would be devastated if something happened to him.”
He rolls his eyes. “Nathalie, I’m sure that Chat Noir’s father is too busy trying to take over the world to notice.”
“Adrien, you know that’s not true.”
“Do I? I’m pretty sure it would take Chat Noir’s father a few days to realize that his son was gone if he snuck out a window and ran away. Chat Noir could probably hire a body double to pretend to be him, and his father wouldn’t notice for a month. It’s not like Chat Noir’s father eats meals with him or goes out of his way to spend time with him.”
If she wants to get on his case about his wellbeing all of a sudden, fine. Two can play at that game.
Only the look she gives him is so sad. “Oh, Adrien… If you can’t believe that Chat Noir’s father would be upset if something happened to him, can you at least believe that Chat Noir’s father’s secretary would? She might not always show it, but she worries when she sees the footage on the news of him batted about by supervillains. She frets when she finds his room empty. She’s afraid that one day he’s going to walk out the front door and never come back because something is going to happen to him and Ladybug won’t be able to fix it.”
Adrien finds himself speechless. “R-Really?” he stammers.
She lets out a sigh. “I haven’t spent the past decade helping to raise you only to lose you!”
Adrien closes the distance between them in seconds, enveloping her in a hug. “I’m really sorry, Nathalie.”
After she gets over the initial shock, Nathalie rests her head against his. “I am too.”
—
Marinette kisses Adrien on the cheek. “Sorry I’ve been such a jerk.”
His brain momentarily goes offline, and idiocy escapes his lips. “You can be a jerk to me anytime...”
Marinette raises an eyebrow amusedly.
Suddenly Adrien realizes what he’s said. “Not that you’re a jerk!” he squeaks. “You’re the person nicest—uh—nicest person I know. You’re so fine—kind!—and thoughtful and pretty—uh!—pretty awesome and…” He needs to stop babbling. She probably thinks there’s something wrong with him. “What-I’m-trying-to-say-is-that-you-weren’t-being-a-jerk-and-I-think-you’re-wonderful!” He gets out in one breath and then smacks himself in the face.
“I find that putting a hand over my mouth or biting my tongue usually helps,” Marinette offers, trying to keep from laughing too hard. “Just be careful you don’t hurt yourself biting your tongue. …Is that what I sound like flustered?”
Adrien groans, peeking at her between his fingers. “No, you sound a lot cuter.”
Marinette can no longer control her giggles. “Adrien Agreste, are you flirting with me?”
“Yeah,” Adrien sighs before he can catch himself. “NO! I meant no. Because that would be stupid and insensitive—not that I wouldn’t like to flirt with you, but we’re just friends, and that wouldn’t be appropriate. Not that I don’t think you’re—”
Marinette takes pity on him, placing her fingers over his lips. “As your friend, I’ll let you in on a secret: don’t talk when flustered. You won’t say what you mean, and you’ll only make it worse the more you talk. Now, I’ll do you a favor and leave, but thank you again for…everything.”
She moves her fingers from his lips and rests them on her own as she tips her head to the side.
Adrien’s mind tries to compute “her fingers, my lips, her fingers, her lips”, but keeps crashing.
“See you Monday,” Marinette chuckles.
Adrien stands stunned as he watches her disappear around the corner, and a great deal of the fog that’s been impairing him lifts.
He jumps for joy and pumps his fist in the air. “She kissed me!” he trills, turning to throw his arms around Nino who both ushers Adrien back and checks him for fever.
“She doesn’t hate me! This is the best day ever!”
“Uh huh,” Nino shakes his head. It’s as if thirty minutes ago they weren’t having a rather desperate conversation about how messed up Adrien’s life is.
—
Adrien takes Marinette by the hand. “Could you please get Marinette somewhere safe and make sure she stays there?”
“Uh… Sure, Mec.”
Marinette takes a second to be annoyed. “Seriously?”
Adrien struggles not to laugh. “I’m not asking Nino to protect you. You could break him over your knee. I’m asking him to be your warden. Nino, if she tries anything heroic or even vaguely altruistic, sit on her.”
Marinette pouts as Nino snorts in laughter. With a wink for Marinette and a two-finger salute, Adrien takes off.
“Nino, I think I’m going to do something vaguely altruistic. Want to try to sit on me?”
“Pass. Just make sure that Marinette is back ASAP. Adrien will flip if he finds I don’t have a spotless Marinette readily available for inspection.”

Summary
“Who is he?” Adrien inquired, stepping closer to Marinette to peer curiously at the cute bundle in her arms.
Alix tactfully dropped the first bombshell: “His name is Louis. He’s Future Chat Noir’s son.”
Adrien nearly fell over in shock as his legs threatened to give out on him.
“If he’s Chat Noir’s son,” Marinette reasoned crankily, bitter about having her moment interrupted yet again. “why don’t you bring him to this timeline’s Chat Noir for him to take care of?”
With a sadistic smirk, Alix dropped bombshell number two: “Because you’re Louis’s mother.”
Marinette made a strangled noise as she looked frantically between the baby in her arms and the superhero seemingly wrecking Marinette’s five-year plan.
Marinette’s love confession is interrupted when Alix brings Marinette and Chat Noir’s son from the future for Adrien and Marinette to babysit for a week.

Bookmarker's Notes
“Special delivery,” Alix sang, handing the child over to a stunned Marinette. “The Stork Miraculous holder was busy, so…”
—
“I’m worried because… I don’t want you to be his rebound, Marinette. You deserve so much better.”
Her expression softened as she took Adrien’s hands. “Thank you for worrying about me, but you don’t need to. Chat Noir is a good, earnest man. If we have a baby together, he’s serious about me. He’s the kind of person who loves with everything he is and gives himself wholeheartedly.”
—
“Chat Noir would never forgive me if I didn’t take good care of his princess and their kitten.”
Marinette groaned. “Don’t you start. That nickname should have died the day it was born.”
“You like it when he calls you that.”
She quirked a skeptical eyebrow. “Oh?”
“You like the reminder that you’re special to him.”
—
“I abhor his father.” She blew out a sigh. “At least I know I can make things better for him.” She cast her son an adoring look. “I get to ensure he gets the family he’s always deserved.”
Adrien’s stomach swooped. He looked away as his face became unbearably hot. “Okay. Now you’re doing it to me.”
She tipped her head to the side. “Hm? Doing what?”
He made a vague gesture. “This. I’m a complete sucker for domestic fluff.”
—
“After he moved out, he could spend time with his friends as a civilian without sneaking around.”
“…He visits me as frequently as before.”
“You’re his favourite. He’s always visited you the most.”
Realization dawned upon her. “I have pastries at my house.”
He rolled his eyes and clicked his tongue. “You have you at your house, Silly.”
—
“Now that maman is gone, I’ve got you all to myself.”
Louis giggled and squealed in delight.
“Daddy loves you,” Adrien whispered. “Daddy loves you so, so much.”
—
“…Do you still want three children, or was that a thirteen-year-old Marinette thing?”
“I’m not sure. I adore children, so I want at least two, but we’ll see how many I can handle when I’m responsible for them. …How about you? How many children do you want?”
Bashfully, he smiled, “As many as possible? It’d be good to have some and adopt a few more…just not more than I can care for. I can provide for a pack financially, but I don’t want to be like my father, just paying for things and considering my job done. The most important part of being a parent is spending time with your kids so they know they matter.”
—
Marinette slid an arm around his waist. He relaxed into her, tension fading as he rested his head against hers.
She gave the customer a bright smile and turned to Adrien to cheerfully ask, “Buttercup, why don’t you take a break?”
“At once, Beloved,” he dropped a kiss atop her head.
—
“…I like you getting possessive of me.”
“That wasn’t okay of me either. I don’t own you, Adrien. No one does.”
He thought for a moment. “You respect me and want the best for me. I’m more than a status symbol or a piece of eye candy or a bank account to you. So, I like it when you act possessive. It makes me feel safe and warm and cared about.”
—
“I heard once that enlightenment can be summed up as ‘when you’re hungry, eat. When you’re tired, sleep’. Maybe babies have it figured out.”
“Yeah, we could benefit from feeling our feelings more.”
Adrien gave his kwami a sideways look. “Oh? You too, Plagg?”
“Of course,” Plagg sniffed. “I shouldn’t hold back so much. I should complain when I want cheese more often and celebrate loudly when I have it.”
—
“What makes someone asexual is a lack of sexual attraction. Some asexuals enjoy sex. Some are indifferent, and some are repulsed by even the thought of it.”
Marinette considered him. “And you?”
“...The last one. It’s partly why I thought no one would want me as a partner.”
“That’s bull! Adrien, no one is entitled to sex. If anyone ever pressures you or makes you feel guilty for being ace, I’ll rip them a new one.”
Adrien couldn’t stop a deliriously happy grin nearly tearing his face in half. “Thank you, Marinette. I…really appreciate that. Still, I feel like—”
“No,” she insisted hotly. “Those are your people-pleasing, doormat tendencies talking. You should only ever have sex with someone if you want to. If anyone demands sex as a prerequisite to a relationship, they obviously don’t love you, and you shouldn’t be with them.”
“Thank you,” he responded in a small, humble voice.
“You’re welcome. I love you, and I want you to be happy. Be with people who respect you and prioritize your needs.”

Summary
He reaches up. His hand tightens around her hand tightening around the line of his neck. It’s like a game of telephone. I want you to want me. I want you around.
These violent delights are reaping their violent ends.
