* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/18471235/chapters/43764517 Silence Can Be Beautiful]]'': After dealing with Silencer, Marinette puts some serious thought into moving on from her crush, and focusing on the things -- and people -- that make her happy.
* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/20035255/chapters/47443804 Thinking of Ways]]'': A {{Prequel}} detailing how Kitty Section first learned about Lila's true nature, and how they chose to approach it.

* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/20530928/chapters/48730034 The Radio Still Plays]]'': School's out, and Kitty Section's headed to Summer Sesh. And Marinette's going with them... but it might not be the holiday Fu was hoping for her to have.
* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/20598104/chapters/48904742 Paper Sky Peels Off the Walls]]'': A collection of side stories set throughout the series, including alternate perspectives of certain events.



* AdviceBackfire:
** Alya keeps pressuring Marinette to go after what she wants... while ignoring Marinette's insistence that her desires have changed. Naturally, she's surprised when this leads to Marinette putting her foot down and asserting herself in ways that Alya didn't actually ''want''.
** After learning that she and Alya had some kind of disagreement, Adrien immediately tells Marinette that she should apologize, despite not knowing any of the details. She calls him on this, much to his astonishment.



* DidntThinkThisThrough: For some reason, Chat Noir fails to grasp the idea that refusing to cooperate with Ladybug will simply lead to her recruiting other temporary Miraculous holders. Or that his childish, petty behavior will only encourage her to rely upon them more, as he keeps proving himself to be anything but a reliable partner.

* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype:
** Chat Noir serves as one for DoggedNiceGuy; his persistent pursuit of Ladybug over her protests only serves to strain their relationship. He refuses to respect her feelings and opinions entirely because [[ItsAllAboutMe they don't line up with his]], and doesn't recognize that he's sabotaging any chance of them ever getting together by pushing the issue.
** Similarly, Alya's ShipperOnDeck antics towards Marinette/Adrien and Ladybug/Chat Noir ruin her relationships with both (as she's unware that [[SecretIdentity Marinette IS Ladybug]]). She can't accept that Marinette has moved on from her crush, or that Ladybug has made clear that she doesn't return Chat's feelings -- and in the latter case, even [[ManipulativeEditing falsifies footage]] to make it seem otherwise. Their frustration over her refusal to leave well enough alone doesn't matter to her; she only cares about making her ships happen.



** As it turns out, Juleka's figures got wrecked completely by accident; the culprit [[spoiler:mistook the box they were in for one she needed to throw out]], and is horrified that they got someone akumatized.

She also does the same with [=LadyNoir=], and acts like ''Ladybug'' is being unreasonable over her decision to intentionally deceive everyone in service of her ship.

Worse, he responds to her criticizing that by sniping back, accusing her of seeing him as 'just a sidekick' and not caring about her feelings, making clear that he's still sore about her rejecting him.

* IgnoredEpiphany: When confronted about her edited video, the only thing that pierces through Alya's insistence that she didn't do anything wrong is the idea that Hawkmoth might be following her blog and may incorporate what she's posted into her plans. Despite that brief moment of realization, however, she snaps right back to calling Ladybug's decision to bench her over the summer unfair.



* MovingTheGoalposts: Alya rejected Marinette's attempt to warn her about Lila by claiming she didn't have proof. When Rose shows her proof positive that she lied about knowing Prince Ali, Alya dismisses it as not ''enough''; at best, it only proves that she fibbed about that one thing, and unless they provide proof that '''everything''' was false, she's going to keep believing that they're just jealous.

Alya does an impressive job of this when Ladybug warns her about her behavior, behavior in ''White Hot Morning''. Even as the superheroine makes clear just how much she disapproves of posting that edited video, Alya openly blowing blows off most her complaints, acting like Ladybug's feelings about it just don't '''matter''' to her. And when she's informed of her complaints and concerns, then trying punishment, she immediately attempts to deflect heat off of herself and by complaining about Chloe, which Ladybug {{Lampshades}}:

** Chat also engages in this after seeing the edited video. After Ladybug calls him out on ignoring her feelings ''yet again'' and makes clear that she's not interested in him that way, he proceeds to double down on his spiteful behavior, refusing to work with her against Reflekdoll, then turning right around and focusing on flirting over fighting against Gigantitan. His jealousy over Viperion entering the picture also fails to do him any favors.

** Rose goes through this twice over in ''Thinking of Ways''. Not only is she disappointed to discover that Lila was deliberately deceiving everyone all along, when she suggests that Ms. Bustier should be able to help, Marinette gently reminds her of all the times their teacher has refused to deal with Chloe's bullying, or otherwise mishandled discord in their class. Reflecting on those incidents causes Rose to realize that Bustier isn't quite the wonder worker she'd originally believed.
** Marinette's faith in Alya had already taken a severe blow after Lila's return, but the reporter's decision to cut up a video of Chat Noir confessing his feelings while [[LaserGuidedAmnesia under Oblivio's influence]], editing the footage to falsely make it appear that Ladybug reciprocated crosses the line.

* PlayingTheVictimCard:
** This is one of Lila's favorite tactics. She's quick to turn on the CrocodileTears whenever anybody questions her stories, trying to paint her doubters as unreasonable.
** Alya also pulls this when Marinette suggests they should take a break from each other. Despite the fact that Alya was the one who kept forcing herself into her space and putting her on the spot, ignoring her 'best friend's' discomfort with her pushy, demanding behavior, she acts as though ''Marinette'' is the one who's crossed a line. She also exaggerates the severity of their disagreement; while Marinette just wants some space over the summer, Alya treats it as though they've completely broken up.

* SternTeacher: Ms. Mendeleiev responds to Lila's attempts to worm out of work by bluntly informing her that she needs to handle requests for special accommodations through official channels, repeatedly shutting her down. This impresses Marinette enough that [[spoiler:she asks if she can put in a request to be transferred to Mendeleiev's class for their next school year, with Juleka, Rose and Ivan following suit. Ms. Mendeleiev's clearly surprised by this, but agrees, provided they have their parents write official letters of request]].
