Submitted Prompt: Rocketear Wake Up Call

In Rocketear, after Nino explains that he is Carapace and that Alya was Rena Rouge, Adrien is thunderstruck--

Not by the convoluted idea that consumed him in canon that knowing Ladybug's identity will guarantee that they would be a couple--

Not by the "injustice" of Alya and Nino "getting to know" each other's identities in a world-ending disaster scenario where Ladybug had no choice but to retrieve them together--

Adrien is struck by the fact that... His best friend was Carapace.

His friend was Rena Rouge.

Two of his best and only friends had become temporary heroes.

-

Two of his only friends had had to join the fight against Hawkmoth.

Two of his only friends were now in active danger every Akuma attack because they weren't just bystanders-- they were now active participants in the fights.

Adrien remembers Heroes Day, and how oddly Rena Rouge and Caparace had been interacting, remembered how they were both lost to Hawkmoth, how he had been... Not even horrified at their loss that day. He'd been frustrated, annoyed, and ... Relieved.

Relieved that there were less temporary heroes in the fight, because that meant Ladybug would be paying more attention to him.

Adrien had lost some of his best friends that day, and he had been happy that they were gone.

Adrien's mind was reeling, he was horrified at his actions, horrified at his mentality up until this moment, feeling his heart sinking lower and lower in his chest down to his toes as he realized how he had treated all of the temporary heroes, even the ones he knew the identity of, how he had treated his girlfriend when he knew that Kagami was Ryuko!

He'd been dating Kagami, and he'd still pursued Ladybug.

He'd even done it right in front of Kagami.

Adrien's mind was shattering, Adrien was second guessing and rethinking everything he'd ever done since he became Chat Noir.

This is wake up call that is long overdue, and he was slowly waking up to find his past was now his own nightmare of his own making--

So he actually listened when Nino trash talked Chat Noir.

Adrien actually heard how Nino saw his other self.

Adrien actually, finally listened to what others thought of his actions.

And the biggest horror isn't that Nino thought so low of him-- it's not even that it took Adrien this long to admit to even himself that he had been doing wrong.

It's that Nino thinks so low of him, saw him for the trash that he was--

And Nino wasn't even the target of Adrien's behavior.

First thing's first: Adrien had to set the record straight with what Nino thinks is going on between him and Alya; and Adrien can't even fault him for thinking that anymore, he had always gone out of his way to flirt with any girl or adult woman he saw when he was transformed! It had been fun-- but only fun for him.

Adrien's going to tell Nino straight out how he knows that Alya isn't cheating on him with Chat Noir: because Adrien IS Chat Noir, and he's going to prove it.

Then, once he's calmed his friend down, and called Alya so Nino would actually talk to his girlfriend about his insecurities, Adrien's going to do his own apologizing-- to Ladybug, and Kagami.

Literally drunk!

"I'm sorry, Ma'am, but I'm a married man—"

"Harry, I'm your wife!"

Harry Potter had 3 regrets in his life.

Not noticing Ginny Weasley earlier.

Believing the vision Voldemort sent him that Sirius was actually kidnapped.

Letting George Weasley plan his 30th birthday party.

Now Harry was 10? Maybe 14 drinks firewhiskey shots in, and he was dying. Any moment now, Albus Dumbledore would take him to Kings Cross Station and take him to the afterlife because Harry James Potter was piss drunk.

He was not the only one plastered. Ron was wearing his shirt has a hat and Hermione was walking around and telling any person who would listen that she could list the Runes Alphabet backwards in less than thirty seconds.

But for Harry, all he could focus on was the ceiling, and how it kept spinning. He couldn't focus on anything, but could feel someone hovering near him who smelt like a familiar flowery scent. But beyond that he knew only three things.

He was married.

He loved his wife.

The first law of Gamp's Transfiguration Law prevented anyone from conjuring food out of thin air.

But he also knew that this random woman was trying to get him to come home with her.

"Harry, I think it's time we go home," she said, placing a hand on his shoulder. Harry caught another wiff of floral, and almost collapsed. He could not move his eyes from his left hand, where a gold band rested on his 4th finger, for fear of any sudden movement might cause him to vomit all over the floor.

wife. wife. wife. wife. wife.

you have a wife.

"Harry, doesn't bed sound absolutely cozy right now?" The witch behind him asked. "We can even take off our clothes and cuddle."

That was too far.

"I'm sorry, Ma'am, but I'm a married man—" Harry said, shoving his left hand in this woman's face, showing off his wedding band.

"Harry, I'm your wife!"

Oh.

Harry looked up and stared at the person who had been coaxing him to bed this entire time.

Ginny.

Beautiful

Wonderful

Pefect

Ginny.

"Hi Love!" Harry said, pulling her close to his chest.

Ginny laughed into his chest, "Let's get you home."

Miraculous - Winx AU 🦋✨

Imagine all the cute pixie designs for the kwamis, fairy outfits and the ROMANCE 🥺 

I’m so dedicated to work on this more once I finished a few of my WIPs!!

Wing AU. Wouldn’t it be fucked up if Belos took feather’s from each of the previous golden guards and put them as ornaments above his thrown in, what he calls a memorial, but whenever Hunter doesn’t do what Belos likes he not so subtly gestures makes comments about how good itd look with a new feather added. Darius ends up stealing the one that belonged to the previous golden guard and burning it on top of the knee as a sort of memorial to his mentor and what he sees as setting his soul rest. PA

HI HELLO WELCOME BACK!!!

and goddd. it would be So fucked up. He takes the biggest primary feather he has (the most important And the prettiest. two in one) and adds them to his throne as intimidation tactics. Hunter always thought they were from people who stepped out of line/disappointed Belos, and he was Kind Of right, but good lord was he not expecting it to be That.

I think they'd take all the feathers and burn them at some point, to remember the fallen and all that. Darius definitely took the liberty of burning his mentors himself, though. I wonder if they'd set fire to the feathers and then, like, toss them into the air to blow away as they burn to ash. a sort of last-token act of freedom that they never got

Peni deserves more hype
