We could do anything for today so I decided to go with @lokfeedsthegays ’s amazing Miraculous AU! She has such amazing costume designs and plots thought out.
Time to catch up! I’ve been way too busy to do this but I feel bad so this is my catch-up day and I’m gonna be pushing out a flurry of these…so don’t mind me :)
Wuko Week: Day 4, Secret Relationship
‘Wu knew that eventually he’d probably have to marry some prissy aristocrat or other heir he has little-to-no feelings for. Mako knew that this was something he’d never done, and it was a little off what his job had intended.
But both had the will to draw it out and keep it secret for as long as it could. Because in their lonely lives, at least each other stuck around’.
- so they both plan to propose and they have seperate rings and everything.
- “hey wu! could i ask you something?” “um,,,,,,,,,well, i was planning on asking you something important.” “something tells me we’re both about to ask the same question.”
- mako beats wu to it. “marry me, dumbass. but don’t you dare sing or else i’m taking back the ring and selling it.”
- wu huffs because he was about to burst out in song. anyways, their engagement is all over the news for days.
- wu obviously loves the publicity. mako, not so much.
- bolin bursts into tears when he finds out and mako cries too (but he’d rather die than admit it)
- mako’s family (especially mako’s grandmother) is extremely happy that royalty is marrying into their family and his grandmother does all the catering.
- wu feels a little sad he has no family to celebrate his engagement with.
- when lin finds out, she pretend to be mad. “ugh, more weddings for me to attend? can you all give it a break?” but really she’s happy for them. she helps mako pick out a suit. “i’m proud of you, idiot. you’re like a son to me. don’t ever tell anyone i said that, though.”
- when korra and asami find out, asami gives korra 20 yen. turns out they had a bet on who would get married after them. “did you have to be right, korra?”
- the beifongs are really happy for wu and mako. huan does an abstract piece for their wedding gift, and wing and wei plan a rather extensive dance for the wedding. “it’s supposed to be a symbol of you two being soulmates!”
- the air nomad family are pretty surprised because they all thought bolin and wei would be the next to get married, but they’re happy for them none the less. pema helps wu pick out a suit and bakes the cake for their wedding. “i couldn’t be more happy for you two!”
- after two months of vigorous planning, it’s finally the wedding day.
- wu would like to believe he’s okay, but really, he starts crying before he walks down the aisle knowing that all his family are gone and there would be no one he was biologically related to to walk him down the aisle.
- mako breaks tradition and comes to see him before the wedding.
- “wu? please don’t tell me you’re getting cold feet. i knew that the thought of having to be married to me is terrifying, but are you okay.” he laughs.
- “shut up, oaf. marrying you is all i ever wanted. i just…wish my family were here.”
- mako immediately understands. up until a few years ago, he thought he had no family (except from bolin, of course.)
- “wu, i’m sorry. i know you would’ve wanted your folks to see you walk down the aisle. just imagine they’re looking down on you from heaven, like your guardian angels. that’s what i used to tell bolin about our parents.”
- after 5 minutes of crying into the jacket of mako’s suit and pulling himself back together, wu walks down the aisle on mako’s grandmothers arm. “be gentle with him, prince wu. he never got the chance to grow up in a happy environment.”
- mako barely manages to make it through his vows before he starts crying his eyes out. wu and all the guests are absolutely s h o c k e d
- the press got it all on their cameras and it was everywhere for days. “does it look like i want people to see me crying?!”
- after all the crying, gifts and speeches, mako ducks into the back room for a second.
- he used to have such bad internalized homophobia that younger him would’ve been shocked that he was ever able to come out.
- he looks at the picture of his parents on the stand, his mother’s smile seeming to give him a little bit of encouragement.
- “you look just like naoki, you know that?” it was his grandmother.
- “yeah.” mako’s only ever hugged his grandmother a few times, but this was different.
- “i love you, mako. and prince wu? he loves you more than anything else.” he looked out at wu, who he could finally call his husband. he was crying and reporters were swarming him.
- “prince wu, a quote for the headlines?” “how about, "they love each other and that’s all you need to know.”?
- his grandmother nudges him back into the crowd. “also, that pema lady? tell her that her cake could rival one of mine.”
- after the wedding, they decide to go on a honeymoon to the fire nation. “i’ve always wanted to see what the fire nation’s like.” “oh, really? then let’s go there.” “let’s do it.”

The one I rebloged previously was not from the original artist. Thanks to @tallanastyflorida for directing me to the correct post.
[ID: Two digital drawings styled to look like old black and white photographs, the top one shows Korra and Asami from the Legend of Korra, and from the same show the bottom one shows Mako and Prince Wu.
In the top image, Asami and Korra are dancing, Asami holds Korra around the shoulders as she dips her, Korra’s head thrown back in laughter as Asami kisses her jaw, their hands nearest the viewer are held together in the air for balance. They wear their usual clothes from the show.
The bottom image shows Mako sitting down, Wu sit on his lap, one arm around Mako’s shoulders, holding their heads close together while looking at the viewer. They are dressed in stripey old-fashioned bathing suits, and both look very happy. /End ID] @atladescribed
