just wanted to say that i loved "your hedonistic, vicious, obsessive, terribly cruel ex-boyfriend" a lot. i'm hoping you just temporarily removed it until you have the time to finish and post the rest because it's seriously one of THE BEST ml fics i have ever read. like, i dream about where that story is heading and how adrinette will work it out.
your marinette especially just makes my heart bleed so much, like i think about how she must have felt dying in a hospital as her boyfriend decided to ghost her, and then losing her best friend, all on top of hating and blaming herself for that mess. if i were left alone in that situation i'd have lost the will to leave too, and i can only imagine that's the situation christiano found her in and what led to her not bearing to be ladybug anymore. i think about how it must have felt being in that space between selfloathing and knowing he ended it without even talking to her, but self deluding anyway and reaching out to him for a year before she couldn't keep it up anymore, and then not having the heart to tell her parents she'd lost him. and then seeing him again knowing even though he didn't fully move on, he still made some kind of halfhearted attempt as only she waited for him. god. (obviously i feel bad for adrien too but your marinette just calls out to me). christiano probably saved her from that state so it's also interesting how alya thinks he's "preying" on her when before him, having been abandoned by even her, marinette was probably even more worse off than she is now. she's gotta be more magnanimous than me to just let that go and have dinner with alya/nino and i'm dying to find out how that went amidst all this adrien-christiano drama. but ahh it also just makes me proud she might not be ok but she still was able to claw her way out of fully letting the sadness consume her and accomplish her other dreams..
anyway all that to say i hope you're still writing it because i'm going to be devastated if it's gone.
