Chapter 16 "Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused." Paul Coelho, The Zahir

As she smoothed down her skirt with every flick of her wrist, she lured him in, the fabric billowing like a red flag, a homing beacon through the dense fog.

Catching her eyes once again, twin sapphires twinkled brightly as they reflected off of the stage lights behind him. How alike they were to a barn sparrow’s wings: light and airy, taking his breath away as she blinked owlishly, openly gaping at him. 

“Anyway, the thing is, what I really mean,

Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen.” 

Alya smirked, reaching over and tapping under Marinette’s chin to close her best friend’s mouth.

His breath hitched as he realized he had been caught staring, quickly tearing away from her blue velvet gaze.

Oof. Such an angsty chapter. Poor Marinette.

Chapter 12

“But I don’t want to just tear into it,” he chuckled, peeking up at her from under his lashes before landing back on the gift, “You’ve spent so much time making it look perfect. I’m trying to find a way to open it without ruining the paper.”

“Ruining the paper?” she thought absurdly as she slowly removed her hand from her face and grasped her purse strap, wringing it tightly around her hands to give her something to cling onto.

“Why are you worried about that?” she questioned.

“Because pretty things should be handled with care. And this—” he held up her gift like a trophy, “—is much too beautiful to animalistically tear into.” He winked, and she fell to pieces, sighing wistfully while longing for him to talk about her like that, too.

I am delighted to present this artwork for the fic Love of a Lifetime by @ladynoirfanao3 as a part of our collaboration for the Big Bang.

Love of a Lifetime by @ladynoirfanao3

Rating: Teen and up

Tags: Soulmates, Ladynoir, Inspired by the reverse trope soulmates but fated to kill one another

Summary: While the rest of the city is enamored by the idea of soulmates, Ladybug feels like the only one who finds the entire concept ridiculous. Unlike her partner—ever the romantic.

And it turns out Ladybug isn’t the only one. When an akumatized villain appears, she forces her victims to not only see their soulmates, but also the most difficult moment in their future—a moment that can only be avoided if the fated pair doesn’t get together.

Chat Noir would have been thrilled at the discovery that Ladybug was his soulmate, if only it wasn’t at the cost of her death. Even Ladybug is devastated to realize for the first time what could have been between the two.

Reluctantly, the partners make the decision to leave what they have learned about each other behind. Ladybug decides to finally do something about her long-time crush, and Chat Noir begins to see his classmate in a whole new light.

Surely, nothing will go wrong when Adrien Agreste and Marinette Dupain-Cheng begin dating.

"The tape measure slid around his waist, his most ticklish spot. His stomach tensed as the back of her fingers grazed his skin accidentally.

‘Why, Cat Noir? Are you ticklish?’

‘Very,’ he whispered."
