Can we just have more of Loki and Shuri and Peter interactions where he’s uncle Loki and they can be his kids and he happily encorages their mischief making to the utter dismay and horror of Tony and T'challa?

Thor 4 (probably)

Things I have been told because I like marvel

Okay so hear me out

Most miraculous love square fans (And there’s a lot of us) are well aware of the tweet by Tomas Astruc, that confirms that Adrien and Marinette will be a couple at some point in the show’s future.

So woohoo, right? But let’s analyse.

So this tweet states that we will “see Adrien and Marinette as a ‘real’ couple.” However, calm down die hard adrienette fans (And I’m one of them), because this isn’t necessarily for you.

Chat noir is just as 'Adrien’ as Adrien himself is, the only difference being a suit and an uncovered swelled ego. The same can be said for the Ladybug/Marinette situation. So technically, any side(s) of the square can become canon. The trouble is, which one?

I’m writing this just after Season 2, episode 14, Syren. And so far, this season particularly has shown us soft rejection for both the Adrienette and Ladynoir ships. The whole rose/rooftop scene for Ladynoir, and the indirect, but nonetheless “she’s a great friend” rejection when Adrien talks to Kagami. In fact, Adrien friendzones a considerable amount in both seasons. What I’m saying is, with the way it’s set up, it seems that unfortunately neither the Ladynoir or Adrienette sides of the square will be the relationship Tomas tweets about (At first anyway).

So Marichat? Again it seems unlikely. Hey, I love Marichat as much as the next guy, but the show seems to be focusing on building them as the ultimate brOTP, which is in itself great. Paired with this, and the fact that neither has the stronger feelings for the other, it just doesn’t seem likely to be the first side of the square to become canon.

So what does that leave? Ladrien.

And yes, it makes sense. Both are head over heels for each other, and it truly just makes the most sense logically. Especially with that whole scene in Gorizilla.

HOWEVER

I’m not stopping there..

What’s the implications of a Ladrien relationship? First, the smaller things. How will they interact? Not a whole lot, as they’ll probably only meet if Ladybug sneaks into Adrien’s room. The same point could be said about Marichat, but still, compared to Adrienette (School) or Ladynoir (Patrol), there’s not much time for Ladrien fluff to commence.

Or more worrying, will the other dynamics change? Will Chat stop flirting with Ladybug, as he knows she’s in a relationship now? (Even if it’s technically with him but still.) Or, will a jealous side emerge, and make Chat test the waters to see if Ladybug is truly loyal? Will Marinette stop fangirling over Adrien, or will it only get worse? It’s interesting to think about.

Now, this is assuming it’s pre-reveal, which is a thought-provoking possibility. As most of the fandom assume a relationship will spring post-reveal, this would be a clever way for Tomas to sweep the rug from under our feet, as it were.

Going with the idea of pre-reveal, I think an initially “only Ladrien” relationship will eventually lead to the reveal itself. Although it might be plain sailing in the beginning, I’m sure both of our teenage heroes will begin to feel severe insecurity. As both sides feel they can only be in the relationship when in their “attractive”, or, “more-desirable” form, this might lead to the urge of revealing themselves, hoping the other would love them for them, in or out of the suit. And that’s heart-warming y'all.

Would it be so simple? Probably not, considering the potential teenage angst and superhero stress they have to go through. And hey, am I saying this the show will take this route? Not necessarily. However, it has pretty good odds of happening.

BUT HEY

THAT’S JUST A THEORY

A MIRACULOUS THEORY

AAAANNNNNDDD CUT

Remember

#MiraculousMae

The Other You (T) written with @chocoluckchipz-bag [WIP] A Marichat friends-to-lovers fic where Adrien and Marinette are estranged from miscommunication on Adrien’s end. This story is very fun and very fluffy.

Broken (T) written with @raydara12 [WIP] After his brother and his mother died from a car accident, Adrien becomes a police officer. In this AU, Adrien never met Marinette and Ladybug and Cat Noir do not exist. This story is very exciting to read and is quick-paced.

Under Lock and Key (T) written with @edendaphne [WIP] While babysitting Manon, Adrien and Marinette go to the Louvre. Manon decides it would be funny to handcuff Adrien and Marinette together. Shenanigans ensue because the Louvre won’t let them take the handcuffs off.

Don’t Worry, Beer Happy (M) to be completed by @raydara12 [WIP] Both Marinette and Adrien work at a bar. Disguised in masks to prevent patrons from recognizing them, Marinette and Adrien take the charade even further by pretending to date each other. This story is hilarious and fluffy and I honestly don’t see why it’s rated M other than the fact that it’s set in a bar.

Maerynn’s Miraculous Short Stories (T) [Incomplete] A series of Love Square drabbles to remain incomplete. Some drabbles are drawn out over multiple chapters and others are not.

Bundled Miracle (M) to be completed by @raydara12 [WIP] As is implied by the title, Marinette is accidentally pregnant with Cat Noir’s kid. However, the reveal is quick. The only problem now is Gabriel’s reaction and how Ladybug will act with Hawk Moth still out and about. Adrien and Marinette love each other, making this story very special.

Bring Me Home (M) [Complete] Bring Me Home is 41 chapters long and I don’t currently have time to read it all, so I’m just copying what Mae wrote. “Everybody deals differently with the consequences of Hawkmoth’s defeat. The day after, Ladybug eagerly awaits her silly kitty, finally ready to hand him her heart and start a new chapter of their story with him. He never shows up. The day after, Adrien Agreste shuts the whole world out, ashamed of his father’s action, while Marinette grows more and more exhausted and depressed as the years go by. Five years later, can anything really be salvaged out of the remnants of their relationship?”

[Currently unnamed sequel to Bring Me Home] (Unrated) to be written by @raydara12 and a few other people This work hasn’t been released yet, but I understand that Mae outlined it quite a bit to follow Carlisle and Emma.

Of Daffodils and Second Chances (M) [Complete] Cat Noir died in the collapse of the Agreste Mansion, a tragedy that killed Gabriel Agreste and Hawk Moth as well as leaving Adrien Agreste in a two-week coma. A year after waking up, Adrien wanders past Cat Noir’s memorial, finding his missing partner and best friend sobbing her heart out. This story is very sweet and has a fluffy ending.

Soulmates (T) written with @edendaphne, @kryallaorchid, and @midnightstarlightwrites for @chocoluckchipz-bag [Complete] A series of four birthday drabbles revolving around the Love Square being soulmates. Mae’s story has soulmate marks, being that if one soulmate hurts herself, then the other soulmate finds that bruise on his body. It is very fluffy.

The Cat, the Bell, and the Wardrobe [Malfunction] (T) written with @eizabet, @midnightstarlightwrites, @kryallaorchid, and @chocoluckchipz-bag for @edendaphne [Complete] A six-part story where Cat Noir has a functioning zipper-bell. Mae’s story has the malfunction be Alya’s fault. It is quite hilarious.

Both of You (M) [Complete] Both of You is 55 chapters long and I currently don’t have time to read it all, so I’m just copying what Mae wrote: “Chat Noir finds Marinette sobbing on her balcony one night, very clearly upset. Concerned about his friend’s well-being, he goes out of his way on both sides of his mask to try and put a smile back on her lips. As they both learn to know each other better, they unveil secrets and newfound feelings. Will their unexpected blooming friendship be without consequences?”

A Beautiful Mistake (M) [Complete] Warning: Rape/Non-Con A Beautiful Mistake is 34 chapters long and I currently don’t have time to read it all, so I’m just copying what Mae wrote: “One single digit can change many things. Utterly pissed off at Alya one very early morning, Marinette misdials her best friend’s number and ends up telling off an unsuspecting stranger, who is, unknown to her, none other than her high school crush. From there, Adrien and Marinette grow closer on both sides of the screen through anonymous texting as they also reunite years after graduating through work. Marinette has to face a painful scar of her past in order to move forward with her heart, but luckily for her, Adrien might be the one able to help her heal.”

Maerynn wrote 12 stories for the Miraculous Ladybug fandom and had at least one other story in the works. From my understanding, she was also working on her own original story. I will be sharing this post once a month for the next year for each story she wrote and then two months after that for the stories she planned on writing. A way that people stay immortal is through memories. I don’t think Mae’s memory should fade away in this fandom. I want all the new people, the children growing up watching this show, the teens turning to Tumblr for the first time, and the adults enjoying the show with their kids to know Mae’s works and to see the kindness she put in the world (when said kids are old enough to read them, that is). Please respect the other authors and artists on this list, especially those who decided to continue Mae’s stories. Thank you.
