In Which After Another Akuma Battle, Cat Noir Follows Ladybug Home And Discovers Her Secret Identity

In which after another akuma battle, Cat Noir follows Ladybug home and discovers her secret identity… what could possibly go wrong?

Another miraculous ladybug fanfic up on AO3! In this one, Adrien reveals his secret identity as Cat Noir saving Marinette, and he has to go into hiding when Shadowmoth starts targeting them.

It would have been cute if Adrien had kept that pottery wheel Marinette gave him in season 4. He seemed genuinely interested in it, and we could have had this delightful progression of ugly little armature pottery filling up the Agreste mansion from that point onward.

It could have started in Adrien’s room at first, with just a few little bowls and misshapen vases appearing on his coffee table and nightstand. But then by season five, they’re in the kitchen and living room. Eventually, they’re all over Gabriel’s studio because Nathalie knows that he hates the ugly little things, because they are mediocre products of a hobby that Gabe did not approve for his son, but he knows that if he says a word about it she will snap him like twig over one of her robot legs.

And then one day, Chat Noir gifts one of these little pots to Ladybug. Because she’s his best friend, but also because Adrien is seriously running out of space but is having too much fun with his pottery wheel to stop making them. And while Ladybug does give him a cursory speech about how they really shouldn’t be giving each other gifts, she accepts it, because it’s season 5, and she has a crush by this point. 

And depending on whether Adrien had gotten into glazing and firing his pottery by this point, maybe he even added a little yellow rose to the pot to symbolize friendship. And a little black cat, because you know. He’s him. (And the two would not be at all in proportion to one another.)

Then weeks later, when Adrien just happens to be hanging out at his girlfriend’s place, he happens to glance over at her sewing table and sees a familiar little pot holding a bunch of spare bobbins and fabric scraps. And then his head explodes. 

The sexual tension between a girl and not feeling real every time her birthday comes around

Yet another fanfic I have up on AO3 😁 After Marinette reveals her secret identity to Cat Noir, she’ll soon realize that hard choices come with irreversible consequences (this one covers a lot of darker themes)
