sorry is someone else has asked you this, but what are your fav ml fics?
ive been hoping one day someone would ask for ml fic recs bc Boy Do I Have Some
Tell me something i dont know (+ anything by @chatnoirinette is just incredible, another fav of mine is Why Are You Like This?)
Marichat soulmates au fic!! I’m normally too impatient for WIP’s but this one is just SO SO GOOD it alternates between hilarious chatfic chapters and beautiful prose chapters and just the balance and pacing and humor and characterizations in this fic are so incredible. maryssa is one of the funniest people I know and she writes these characters SO well I honestly cannot recommend this fic enough
new marinette (+ anything by @rosekasa, please just read through her ao3 works im begging)
listen. ive seen this fic recced by so many people and it’s because it’s just THAT good. if you’ve ever allowed yourself to wonder what might happen after ladybug gives up guardianship and loses her memories... let me just say this fic broke my heart a million times in the most beautiful ways. reading new marinette was a cultural reset just for me, personally, and if you’re into gorgeous prose and cute moments and bittersweet storylines PLEASE give it a read
comfort food (+anything by reiaji)
THIS FIC. I swear I read this fic months ago and I have not been able to stop thinking about it. Reiaji’s prose is just incredibly beautiful and the characterizations are so so so true to the characters, I was absolutely blown away by this fic. I especially love how adrien is written in this one, it perfectly encapsulates the way growing up sheltered contributed to his awkwardness and eagerness about trying new things. and just,, the adrinette of it all,, if for no other reason please read this fic bc the world is in desperate need of adrinette cooking together content
the last day on earth by reiaji
okay this one actually just updated recently and when I TELL you it’s been living in my mind,, the concept is that marinette keeps having to fight chat blanc periodically as they get older and it’s all just so tragic and captivating and beautiful I honestly. like. can’t believe it’s not a published book. I got the email from ao3 for this one and did not even HESITATE before opening a new tab during zoom class and devouring it. if you’re into mutual pining and hurt/comfort and just generally things that are good I would HIGHLY recommend
Breaking The Rules (AKA The Ladrien Fistfight) by ThisKwamiNeeds_aNap aka @marinetteplztakeabreak
THIS FIC IS SO FUNNY DKFJKDLF literally like,, the concept of a ladrien fistfight alone is enough to make me wheeze but then the actual writing and the circumstances of it all are just.. if you havent read the ladrien fistfight fic yet this is me telling you it is a basic human survival need
the montparnasse scene’s downgraded, budget-sliced, straight-to-video of a sequel (or: adrien takes a tumble) by @bugaboo-n-bananoir
the first time I read this fic I CRIED LAUGHING and I read it like 3 more times in a row because the serotonin does not stop flowing from this one. tbh I come back to this fic anytime I need to feel better because it just handles the ridiculousness of this show and these characters SUBLIMELY and adrien’s inner dialogue cracks me up so much. yes adrien it is suspicious to take a second fake shower!! read this fic for instant joy!!!!!
(ok I dont have time to write blurbs for the rest but trust me these are all so worth it and I could write paragraphs abt all of them!!!!)
