Hey y’all, here’s my full piece for the @kittylovezine MariChat zine! It’s been a little while since it’s been out and unfortunately leftover sales just ended but I hope everyone who wanted a copy was able to grab one. This was a fun project to be a part of!
I apologise for the delay on this long awaited announcement, but I have some amazing news!!
We were able to make a donation of $3,500toThe Rainforest Trust last night! The extra money listed to cover the PayPal fees so they get the full amount of our donation.
This is all thanks to YOU!! Your support of our zine is what enabled us to make such a difference. We appreciate you all so very much, as well as you patience with us as COVID-19 threw a huge curve ball to everyone this past year.
Thank you once again to our amazing contributors, without them, this project wouldn’t have been possible.
Hello! I finally posted my piece for @kittylovezine. The zine and merch all look fantastic, by the way. Great job to everyone who contributed, including the mods, betas, designers, etc! Your hard work paid off. <3
I collaborated with @yuumi0035; there’s a comic page that comes before the fic, and another that comes after. Once she posts, I’ll share links on the AO3 page.

“So, beads, huh? For… a lucky charm?” Chat guessed.
Marinette nodded. “Two, for my friends.”
Her dispirited tone caught Chat’s attention. Marinette was usually more cheerful—but then again, it was past midnight, and she must be tired.
“There’s a secret in the design,” Marinette said with a faint smile that Chat thought looked a little forced.

By the time Chat can slip out of his rooms, four sections of his candle clock have melted. He curses as he ties on the black mask, the soft fabric wrapping around his face. Sometimes he feels a little silly wearing it, like a charlatan performer his father hires, but it’s this or risking recognition.
Desperate not to be identified, his entire ensemble used to be a mess of old black clothes— which never bothered him until he met Marinette. She had gawked at his outfit, not remotely afraid of the stranger dressed like some kind of criminal.
He grins as he pulls on the cloak she made. ‘That hair isn’t very stealthy,’ she had said, tugging the hood up.

Summary: Still the aftermath of the reveal, Marinette goes to Alya’s house for a sleepover and to clear her head. But this sleepover is about to have an unexpected guest.
Hello! This fic was written for @kittylovezine - the second volume, where it was illustrated by the amazing @kaleidoscoperain. I’ve been sitting on it for almost a year now and I’m thrilled that I’ve gotten the go-ahead from the mods to share it with you all!
As Alya began excitedly listing off all the sleepover games, Marinette let her mind wander.
The last two weeks had been… interesting. She and Adrien were still trying to navigate where they stood with each other now that there were no secrets left between them. This meant that they could barely speak to each other, and merely being in the same room had them blushing. Their best solution so far had been to tiptoe around the subject and avoid each other as much as possible.
Naturally, Alya had picked up on Marinette’s sudden silence on her crush. But what could she say? That things were a little weird between them now that they knew each other’s secret identities? No. So when Alya asked her what was going on…
Was it any wonder she blurted out that she had a crush on Chat Noir?
Marinette vainly hoped that would be the end of it.
Until she realized that Alya was looking through the window.
“Um, see something interesting out there, Alya?” Marinette pulled the curtain aside, trying to follow Alya’s eyes. She wasn’t familiar with the area Alya lived in, so nothing lookedout of the ordinary.
“You bet I do, girl,” Alya said with a predatory grin on her face. Opening the window to step out onto her balcony, she let in a cold breeze that sent a shiver down Marinette’s spine. “Hey! Chat Noir! You got a sec?”
—————
The past two weeks had been nerve wracking for Chat Noir.
Between his excitement at learning Ladybug’s identity, and his absolute joy that it was Marinette, he had so many emotions that he was almost nauseous. He’d been pacing in his room enough that Plagg, of all people, suggested that he go out for a run. He eagerly latched onto the idea, and soon found himself leaping from rooftop to rooftop, his mind empty of everything but the path ahead of him.
At least until he stopped to catch his breath, and the thoughts he’d been outrunning caught up with him. Underneath all the jubilation was the nagging worry that everything was going to end in disaster.
He didn’t have long to dwell on it however, when he heard Alya calling out to him.
“Hey! Chat Noir! You got a sec?”
While he loved chatting with people while on patrol, he wasn’t in the mood for entertaining today. Before he could decline, he saw a familiar pair of blue eyes watching him at Alya’s side. Without even thinking he rushed over to Alya’s balcony.
“I suppose I have a few moments to spare for my favorite blogger,” he said. “What do you need, citizen?”
Alya snorted. “Just come in already, it’s cold outside.”
“You don’t need to tell me that,” Chat said with a shiver. He slipped past Alya and into the warmth of her apartment. With his hands on his hips, he let his eyes roam around the cozy looking space.
His heart skipped a beat when he finally got to Marinette, who was wearing a black long-sleeved shirt, and pajama pants covered in lime green paw prints. Her face turned red even as a playful grin spread across his face.
He leaned down to her level and spoke in a smug voice, “I didn’t know you were such a big fan, Marinette.”
Their eye contact was broken when Alya shoved a hoodie into his hands. “Here - we’ve got a cozy aesthetic to keep up here and your leather catsuit doesn’t cover it.”
“Hey, that’s mine!” Marinette protested.
“C’mon, girl, it’ll only be for tonight. You don’t want the cat to go cold, do you?”
Marinette huffed, but didn’t argue further. Chat Noir smiled to himself, slipping the hoodie on. After standing awkwardly for a few moments, Alya motioned him onto the couch where he sat a respectful distance from Marinette.
“So anyway, me and Marinette were going to do some sleepover games.” Alya smirked and raised an eyebrow at Chat Noir. “You in?”
“Sure!” His enthusiasm wavered for a moment. “Um… what sort of games are they? I’ve never done a sleepover before.”
Chat caught a momentary look of sadness on Marinette’s face before Alya gasped, scandalized.
“Well, we’d better stick to the basics then. That’ll make sure you get the premier sleepover experience. And that means we’ll be starting with…” she rubbed her hands together eagerly, “Truth or dare!”
Chat Noir and Marinette scooted closer together under Alya’s maniacal grin. It was going to be a looong night.
Just a week following getting my Silver Linings and I get my contributors copy of the Kitty Love Zine Volume 2 from @kittylovezine ! It was an absolute joy to have it in my hands, seeing my story in print and illustrated by the very talented @kaleidoscoperain. I hope everyone who ordered will enjoy reading through it even half as much as I did!
My piece for @kittylovezine was one of the physical prints! I loved being a part of this zine. The mods were amazing and the whole project turned out so amazing!
