Ships: Adrien/Marinette, Alya/Nino
Notes: This is a little bit unusual, since it started as a Tumblr post that accidentally turned into a collaboration. In truth, galahadwilder (galahadwilder) did most of the writing; I just stepped in and turned it from an angst- and salt-fest to a major Alya redemption, with a side order of consent themes. I wrote "chapters" 3, 5, 12, and 13. Thirteen might stand on its own, but Three and Five definitely need context, and twelve is, uh. I mean, it might also stand on its own? But it doesn't tell a lot of story either way, so.
Anyway, I still wanted to record its existence on Dreamwidth, but all I'm doing is sharing an AO3 link instead of the entire text.
