  • That Awkward Moment When… (G, 32k) Marinette wasn’t an idiot. As many precautions as she insisted they take, she knew she and Chat Noir were both going to find out sooner or later. Of course, Marinette assumed that the way they’d found out wasn’t by running right smack into each other and detransforming in front of the other. So of course, in a typical calm and rational manner, they pointed to each other and screamed.
  • Little Bits of Mari: (G, 24k) Adrien doesn't realize how he hadn't noticed sooner, or why it took him so long to look at Marinette for just a breath longer than he's used to.

A picture that reminds him a little too much of the masked girl he'd fallen in love with.
