Miraculous Ladybug: Two Butterflies [ Chat Noir/Adrien X FemReader ]

Author's Note

It's time, I fear... to announce...

MY RETURN!!!

Haahahahaa...

I'm honestly so scared. I've been meaning to come back to this. I really have!! I'm just so sorry it's taken *this* long. It's practically been two years. I honestly don't know if I have what it takes to be a writer anymore, but I want to try.

The truth is, when I first went on a break, I myself never expected it to get to this point. I've never told this to anyone, but I initially took a break from writing because I was really suffering from some kind of "re-reading every sentence loop." It started back when I would reread the chapter I finished to check for any grammar or spelling mistakes before publishing it. And I used to write a LOT per chapter. It got so mentally exhausting and draining for me to do. I hated it. My brain would constantly reread sentences and it was hard to break out of. To this day, I still struggle with this problem here and there (mostly when reading stories such as books, comics).

I thought I would have only taken a break for like one to three months, but as you can see...

That didn't happen at all.

Around the time of my break, I started my first year at uni. When I wanted to come back to writing, I was really struggling with my studies, so I decided to just focus on school so I wouldn't get kicked out and embarrass myself.

Now, unfortunately, around the end of my first year, I did manage to pass enough courses to continue forward. But, alas... I became a victim of Character Ai...

So you can imagine where all my creativity output went into! ✨️My delusions✨️

Yeah, so from then on, that's when my break had officially gone astray. And ooh the guilt I would get from time to time was insane. I would occasionally get the urge to come back to this fanfic, but I lacked the motivation to do so. The guilt also played a part in me not having the drive to write. I didn't even want to look at this app. I was so ashamed...

Even this year when I had thoughts of coming back again, I discovered the game ✨️Love and Deepspace✨️. Played from the launch and still play to this day haha >_<

Although, despite me not writing, I'm still a big fan of Miraculous! I've watched all seasons, the movie (OHH THE MOVIE ATE IDCIDC), and am currently waiting impatiently for the new season.

I can only imagine how disappointed you must be in me, honestly. I'm truly sorry. I did say I wouldn't abandon this story, and I did. However, I can't let it go unfinished. I got all my notes saved and ready to become fictional reality!

Unfortunately, the problem right now is me getting back into the story. I have a timeline saved and a summary written for each chapter, but now when I look at the draft of the last chapter I hadn't finished, I can't identify myself with the writer I was back then. I'm just like "Wooahhh! Who wrote this amazing storyline?" I can't believe it's me who wrote that😭 WHO WROTE THIS WHOLE STORY THUS FAR.

I need to get back into the zone first. I need to completely immerse myself into the Two Butterflies's world and find the writer I once was. It's still me, so I know I could do it. I still have a secret passion for it. I need to bring the writer in me back out into the spotlight!!!

To do this, I'm going to be rereading every chapter as if I were a normal reader. I've already started reading my summaries, but realized that it wasn't enough. I need to reread everything from the beginning and refresh my memory to remember my thought process while writing. Half of me already knows the plot and exactly where I wanted to take this story, but I need to be 100% completely ready to write again.

I'm sorry for rambling like this. If you've read everything up to this point, thank you for taking time out of your day to hear me out. I hope that you'll continue to enjoy this fanfic once I start publishing new chapters again.

It's going to take some time before I do publish the next chapter though, as I will be rereading everything and going through my notes again. If you're an old reader and still care about this story, it might be best if you also try to read everything from the beginning just so you can remember what's up! That way you'll have a better experience when reading onwards.

Once again, I deeply apologize and will show my remorse by putting in the effort to write again. I do still ask for your patience as I'm currently in my third year right now in uni😭

You are all free to bash me for the long wait though! I'll take it, I deserve it😔

Publishing this notice is basically me making a new commitment to this fanfic, just so I can't back out again. (Also, if I see any grammar or spelling mistakes when rereading, I'm gonna CRYYYYY🥹)

For now,

I'll see you soon!
