Summary
It hits him like a truck, or rather it doesn’t: the truck metaphor would imply a projectile, a concentrated blow set in motion by a well-known mechanic. It would imply that Adrien asked for it, that he crossed the street while the light was still red, or that maybe he sat in the middle of the highway and waited.
But no. He is at the mansion when it happens, in the atrium — not even in the study nor the basement nor the attic, not in any of those places he is not supposed to lurk in. Earth itself reshapes under his feet, cracking open to swallow him whole.

Summary
“Marinette?”
“Yes, Buttercup?”
“Do you…” He knows what he wants to ask, but doesn’t know how. Then again, it’s Marinette: he doesn’t need to watch his tongue around her. “… Do you feel safe around me?”

Summary
“Adrien.” The voice was soft, an echo of his own. “Are you asleep yet?”
His muscles eased up, melting into a masquerade of composure: there was no monster there, only Felix.
“No,” he called out, more high-pitched than he would have liked. “Are you scared?”

Summary
They’ve found refuge on the Eiffel Tower, in one of the cafés that would normally be bursting with bright-eyed tourists: Felix is drenched, despite his coat and hood, and not particularly eager to get back outside. Distantly, he wonders if his civilian clothes are also soaked, or if the magic is strong enough to shield him from pneumonia.
Not that he’s going to detransform anytime soon. Not when the akumatised victim is still out there, not when the destroyer of so many amoks is holed up with him — and shaking themself off.

Summary
“Do you really think the Dog would be a good fit for me?”
“Why not?” Felix hummed, chin resting in his palm. “You’re loyal to a fault, fiercely protective, and deceivingly smart. Besides, you can’t do much worse than I did.”
[...] Still, Adrien felt… defeated. Deflated, even, with their shoulders slumped and their hands trapped between their knees.
“I think… there might be things you don’t realise about me.” He should have stopped there. If Ladybug knew he was gambling with his identity, she would certainly kill him. “Maybe your answer would change. About the Miraculous.”

Summary
“We could stay like this forever, you know,” she hums, answering the question he did not dare ask. “Every day could be just like this one.”
“Are you sure? You've had relapses before.” Mum looks sad, which makes Adrien sad in turn; he should know better than to question her. “I just don't want to be alone.”
“You won't. My precious boy, you won't.” She tilts his chin up with long, diaphanous fingers. “Isn't this what you want? Tell me this is what you want.”

Summary
“You know what the worst part of this whole story is?”
“That your father didn’t choke on his stupid pancakes? That would have been a fitting end.”
The older boy mustered a small smile. His hand raised into their line of sight, weakly — blocking out the haunting capsule.
“I was talking about this,” he breathed out, looking at the twin rings without seeing them. “About the fact that there’s two of them.”
In the obscurity of the basement, the metal looked dull and bleak. Just like his memories of his mother, it had been tainted by the truth.

Summary
“What? Nooo! Adrien doesn’t hate Christmas.”
“Are you absolutely certain? What was he like last year?”
“Well, he —”
Marinette furrowed her brow, scanning her own memories. Of course she was absolutely certain. At least, she thought she was.
Okay — she could not ignore that Adrien had run away from home that night, wandering the snow-covered streets to escape the freezing cold of his own home. Nor could she brush away the disintegrated Morris column, cataclysmed for the crime of bearing his own face.
Oh, and the shaky videos circulating on YouTube. That musical number was… Concerning, to say the least. Still, it was no smoking gun.
Right?
“Oh my god,” she squeaked, plopping down against the counter. “Adrien hates Christmas.”

Summary
Adrien smiles, and lets his gaze drift once more. The little peacock plushie, Hera, has found a nest in the sea of pillows: with such a triumphant display of feathers, he’s pretty sure she was supposed to be a male, but he knows better than to question his cousin’s naming conventions.
“You seem lost,” Felix calls once more, tightening the Double Windsor. “More than usual, I mean. Is there something on your mind?”

Summary
“Hugo is a bit of a hopeless case.”
“Encouraging.”
“For me! Not for you! He won’t listen to me because I’m his lame dad or whatever. But you…” He gestures widely then, and baby Sabine almost tumbles off his lap. “You’re powerful in a way I can never hope to be: you’re the Cool Uncle.”
“You think I’m cool?”
“I think you’re my only hope.”
