Here’s my content for the 7daysofLuka from @lukacouffaineappreciation for the ugly sweater thing <3 I’ve been so excited to see everyone’s content !!!

Doesn’t really look like Luka tbh but I’ve been trying to work on backgrounds so it was super fun to try out a Christmassy background! I also added Sass because I suck at drawing Kwami’s but I think he turned out cute!! The guitar on the snowman was very difficult for me 🥲

THEM! Look at them! Look at her being SMOL with her little clenched fists, ready to take on the world! Look at him being absolute Best Boy(tm) She's gonna steal all his sweatshirts and wear them for dresses. Then she's gonna pile them on her bed and sleep in them. He's gonna see her stressing out over schoolwork and sit down beside her, playing a soft tune. As her head gets heavy and she starts to nod, he'll just gently tip her into his lap to curl up. Kitty Section needs a manager? Kitty section found it's manager. There's no paperwork that can defeat her.

@lady-charinette prompted: 14. Bodyguard AU, 66. It's Not You, It's My Enemies, Marichat or Lukanette (and upon asking, said she'd be okay with an inclusive "or")

Things with Hawkmoth/Shadowmoth/Whatever-that-asshole-calls-himself are starting to reach a crescendo. During the latest mass akumatization, Ladybug interpreted her Lucky Charm in a very interesting way, and chose to end the fight by revealing her civilian identity to all of Paris.

Naturally, the vast majority of Paris decided to make a physical wall between their beloved hero and the supervillain she's been fighting for however long now, probably years, IDK. Finding himself unable to akumatize anyone new, some of the current victims actively rejecting their akumas, and the rest of them outright overpowered by Paris' citizens, Hawkmoth chose to retreat. But with Ladybug's secret identity no longer a secret, that puts Marinette in extreme danger, and she has to sleep sometime.

Enter Marinette's plan: She is acting as bait to lure Hawkmoth out so they can retrieve the missing Butterfly and Peacock Miraculouses once and for all. She doles out the other Miraculouses to their most recent holders and gives them instructions for how she plans to lure Hawkmoth out.

It can't happen for several days, however, and until then, she needs to be protected. That's where Cat Noir and Vipereon come in: No matter how much Marinette protests that she's fine on her own and can protect herself, all of her friends agree that she needs someone to watch out for her, and these two are the only ones who don't need to be on the front lines for her plan.

Marinette spends the next few days alternating between worrying for her friends and over her plan, fretting over Adrien being missing (where is he? Did Hawkmoth somehow get him? She really hopes he's somewhere safe) and being turned into a blushing mess by Cat Noir and Vipereon being totally gallant and amazing and romantic—I mean platonic! Very, very platonic, and not at all super sweet and sexy and—and it is entirely possible that Marinette will blush herself to death before her plan to capture Hawkmoth has a chance to be put fully into action.

Meanwhile, Cat Noir and Vipereon are both convinced that the person Marinette loves is the other one, and are being very self-sacrificing about it and doing their best to talk up their perceived rival. This is not helping Marinette sort out her feelings for her "three" (really two) love interests at all.

A short one this time. The one after this we will finally see some action. I wonder if any of you have guessed about the new villain?

The cons of falling for family

<(**)>

Marinette stared at the sewing machine on her desk. Alfred had bought it for her to welcome her home. Bruce had bought expensive sketch pads and pencils. One of Bruce’s other kids (not her brother, even if Bruce called him her brother Dick) had sent an expensive Indian fabric. Gifts to welcome her to their family.

Bruce had spent the entire day with her, giving her a proper tour, asking questions about what she liked, if she wanted a different colour for her walls, what she wanted to do with her life… It had been overwhelming to say the least. Marinette had made up her mind at a young age and always knew what she wanted to do. When Diana told her, she couldn’t be anything Marinette had been, she had been lost. And now Bruce was telling her to be herself. To be Marinette again. To do with her life as she pleased, and he promised to be there to help her pick up the pieces if it all fell apart.

Her brand new Wayne phone dinged with a message on her desk. Marinette stared. She hadn’t received a text in a year. Unlocking the screen, the pre-programmed number and name of Timothy Drake-Wayne lit up her screen.

‘Hey, little sister! I have some people that want to say hi!’

Attached was a picture of the Miracle Team. Oh!

She hit video call. With every unanswered ring her anxiety spiked. She was about to hit end when the call was answered by a pretty blonde woman with blue eyes.

“Tim! The new sister is calling!” the blonde turned and shouted off camera. Before Tim could move to get the phone Vipereon was there.

“Marinette?” his voice was calm, but inside he felt anything but. A year of radio silence. A year!

“Luka?” her voice is just above a whisper, cracking as she is filled with emotions again.

She cries silently as Luka takes in her face. She’d lost weight. Her was cut. And gone was the pink.

“My melody, are you okay?” Luka asked finally. Screw all of Paris. If she needed him, he would be there.

“I’m okay. I…” she couldn’t talk. She just took in the image of Vipereon on her screen, listened to the shouting happening off to the side of the other’s. Kwami how she missed them. Luka smiled in understanding.

“We’re not going anywhere, Marinette. Take your time.”

And so she broke down. She told Luka everything. Everything she couldn’t trust herself to tell Bruce.

And Luka listened, never interrupting. And when she was done, he told her how amazing she was. How after everything that had happened, she could still keep going. And that she would figure out what to do, but if she really needed time, to just ask for it. He promised to use the Zeta tubes as soon as possible to visit as well.

And for the first time in a year, Marinette truly smiled.

< ( ^ ^ ) >

Bruce woke up early the next morning, to see if he could convince Marinette to go to a fabric store with him. When he got to the kitchen however his whole body froze. Alfred as standing by the counter, relaxed and quiet as Marinette dashed around the kitchen in her pajamas. She had a big grin on her face as waffles and eggs and bacon and fruits all came to perfection under her practiced hands.

“Alfred…”

“She insisted that my pancakes were dry and bland. She challenged me. I did not have the heart to deny her” Alfred stated simply. A smile tugged at his lips, and Bruce knew. Alfred did this to help Marinette come back to the surface.

After a delicious breakfast, Bruce was shocked when Marinette enthusiastically showed him her sketchpad. The page was filled with a super-hero costume, mostly white and pink, with black accents and a black hood. (Similar to Gwen Stacy from the Spider-Verse movie, but reverse colours.)

In the car, Marinette also asked about modern and contemporary dance. Bruce smiled. They made a stop at the Gotham Dance Studio. When Marinette watched the different styles of dancing, her face lit up. Bruce signed the check and promised to get her the proper footwear.

In the fabric store, you would have thought that Christmas and Easter happened all at once. Marinette’s eyes were filled with glee. She was picky with her fabrics. While her back was turned, Bruce ordered some Dress Forms and ribbons, and the fabrics she liked he got in every colour they had. When she looked at Bruce, happy with a single 2 yard roll of fabric, Bruce smiled back.

When they got her school uniform, only to be worn on exam days, Marinette also got a tour of the facility. The school was massive, with three buildings denoting the different school levels. The tech was also out of the world amazing, with teachers using holo-screens instead of whiteboards, or blackboards like in Europe. Kids walked around with school approved and funded pads. Marinette felt very backwater hill-Billy right then.

When they got back, Alfred showed them a new room, set up while they were out. Bruce rubbed the back of his neck when Marinette balked at the dress forms and fabric. It was next to Damien’s art room, filled to the brim with paints and brushes. It was above Dick’s gymnastic training room. Marinette could only stare.

The rest of the week went by in a similar manner. Bruce took the time to personally show Marinette around Gotham, talking about the history of the city, and it’s criminals. He took her to the office, introduced himself to her boss. Lucius Fox showed her, her new costume.

And finally, on Friday night, Batman patrolled with Knave at his side.

Marinette went to bed that morning with a big smile on her face. In her hand was her phone, a guitar melody floating quietly through the room.

In Germany, Jason groggily opened his eyes.
