    Summary

    “Mumbo,” Grian says, harried, dragging his hands down his face, for the sixth time. “Have you wondered what this place is?”

    Mumbo no longer looks vampiric. His skin now is rough and bumpy and not really skin-like at all, though his mustache and dark eyes remain the same. “I thought it was a dream.”

    “Yes. To you it might be.” Grian waves a hand. “What else?”

    “A cafe?”

    “Sure. That too.” He exhales through his nose. “What this place really is, though, is what people need it to be. Scar told you that the first time you came here. Everyone who comes here needs something. Everyone. Even you.”

     

    (The Café Boatem is a needful place, insofar as it fulfills the needs of its customers. Enter Mumbo Jumbo, the most needless person in existence. Grian refuses to accept this.)

    Summary

    “So what we need to do,” Adrien says, moving the paper clip three centimeters to the left, “is shift the entire second row about fifteen centimeters. That should shift the center of gravity enough for it to balance.”

    Alya nods slowly. “Riiiiiggghhhhtttt.”

    Nino holds out the tape dispenser. “You do you, man. I mean, you do know what you’re doing, right?”

    Adrien shrugs. “I’ve never done this before.”

    “Great,” Marinette mutters. “So none of us know what we’re doing.”

    Summary

    Something warm swarms her entire body, making her already jingling limbs tingle and shudder. The pendant momentarily burns against her neck, but then it stops, and Alya looks down at herself to find that she’s changed into a costume.

    Distantly, she notes, oh, so that’s how they do it so fast.

    ------------------

    A post-movie AU in which Rena Rouge and Carapace exist, Luka is a silent observer, Adrinette is not subtle, and Alix is everyone's friend.

    Summary

    “Now that I’m saying it out loud, I think the title might be a bit much.”

    Adrien shook his head, touched by the amount of thought his friend had put into the gift. “Not at all, it’s perfect. Thank you, Nino.”

    Nino puffed up a little, clearly pleased. “Don’t thank me yet, my friend,” he said with a waggle of his finger. “The fun is just about to begin.”
