Summary
"Vaguely, Mike registers Joyce and the rest of the Byers-Hopper family get out of the car. But his eyes follow Will. It's hard to see him, because somehow he seems to be pulling in all of the light.
He's so bright, like the sun."
Mike Wheeler is entirely miserable after everything is over. It feels like his current fate is inescapable, but maybe he can choose a different door.
(short post canon fix-it because they did Mike so dirty)

Summary
"Loving was the easiest thing Adrien's ever done. He fell fast and hard like it was the most natural thing he could do. And it was. So incredibly perfect and natural and ingrained in him. To love. To protect and hold his special people so close like he was scared to lose them."
--
Ordinarily, one does not get hanahaki when the person they love loves them back. Of course, this only works if you know they love you back. But our two favorite heroes have a lot they don't know about each other
--
Love square-induced hanahaki, takes place at the beginning of season four -

Summary
His father is Hawk Moth?
Adrien grins. "Well, I guess that cat's out of the bag."
--
Things just keep not going Adrien's way. A focus on self-discovery, growth, and learning how to unlock the potential of the miraculous. All while Adrien has to take down his father from the inside.(Or: my personal interpretation on how a miraculous user gains full power)
__
Chapter 2 Snippet:Adrien grins, a Chat Noir classic because he knows Adrien Agreste shouldn't agree.
It's impolite to come in without an invitation.
Yes, father.
But he's Chat Noir right now, at least in his mind. Only, his father knows. And he's a disappointment in either form.

Summary
Mike doesn't care about a body in a quarry. His mark, a swingset, still sits on his left ankle as an important reminder. He checked. And then checked again just to make sure his brain wasn't playing a stupid trick on him. Imagine. If that body really is Will and Mike's mind is delusional that it's forcing him to see a mark that isn't there. Just the idea of that makes Mike dizzy. He thinks he'd rather die than for that to be true. But he still feels Will's terror and pain. It hurts to feel his soulmate so scared but it's grounding. Will is somewhere. That body is not his.
--
Or: soulmate au where your mark fades when your soulmate dies. So that's obviously why the body in the quarry isn't Will's.
--
Or pt2: Mike argues with Hopper about the status of Will's aliveness. -

Summary
Mike has finally made it as an author. But writing about your own past can get complicated, especially when fans start to draw conclusions that point Mike in the direction of the person he's been writing about all along.
And living life is hard. Especially when you're doing it all on your own. But grief and love are a lot more similar than you might realise. They both tend to wake us up from the monotony of our lives.
OR: Mike has a horrible time, which somewhere along the way turns into a wonderful time.

Summary
Chat doesn’t raise his eyes, claws digging into the steel below his hands.
“Would you let me kill someone, my lady?”
He’s met with silence.
Ladybug looks over at him, scanning his face in concern.
“You’re serious,” she says, eventually, voice hesitant.
Chat finally looks up from the city below to meet her eyes. He doesn’t need to reply to her to confirm her assumption.
Ladybug looks at him with so much concern he feels sick. He doesn’t deserve that kind of look from her.
“Your friend must mean a lot to you," Ladybug says, voice soft.
Chat sighs again as he lets his eyes drift in the direction of the bakery.
“She does."Or:
When Adrien realizes the high road is not the way to go, it somehow leads to Chat getting a little too close to Marinette. In their quest to dispose of Lila Rossi, unexpected friendships come to light.Bookmarked by xylemsap

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
Marinette's string of fate has been pulling itself tighter and tighter the whole school year. She knows that means that her soulmate is close. But no one else in her orbit is showing the same symptoms.
Maybe she's broken. Maybe fate got it wrong.
Or maybe there's something she doesn't know yet.

Summary
The feeling of being wanted is a powerful drug. Being wanted by the one you want is incomparable.
"Mike," Will says lowly. "You’re— You’re so close."
Too close, his brain supplies, a little hysterical. Too much.
Mike doesn’t pull away. "I know."
"Why?"
"Keeping up…" Mike exhales a short laugh that Will feels on his neck, "appearances."
-
A guy hits on Will at a party, Mike leaves with a hickey, and by morning everybody thinks they're dating.
Will knows it’s supposed to be pretend. He just doesn’t know how to act like he hasn’t wanted this for as long as he can remember.
