Malleable Fates is a GabeNath fanfiction written for the GabeNath Reverse Bang by ReminiscentLullaby. It is rated G for General Audiences. The fic was beta-read by Nightshade_Blaize.

The premise for the fic is based on artwork created by xx-Katastrophe.[1]

Fic Info

Nathalie's hand reaches down towards Gabriel, and his hand reaches up towards hers. Her hand is against the backdrop of a blue sky, and his against stars. A single red thread tangles around both hands, connecting them.
This art piece by xx-Katastrophe served as the inspiration for Malleable Fates.

Summary

A red thread starts materializing around Gabriel’s finger nearly two decades after he’s already found his soulmate. As he and Nathalie devise a faultless plan to finally win Ladybug and Chat Noir’s miraculous and bring back his wife, Gabriel fights the onslaught of confusing feelings brought about the mysterious reappearance of his soulmate string - including the sneaking suspicion that his soulmate maybe isn’t who she used to be.

Reception

I'm so emotional! The moment that she realizes she sees the thread really got me. *Keyboard smash* I loved this!!

Awwwwwwww, I love this story so much! 💖😍

It's- it's beautiful and so sweet, I could imagine all the scenes with great clarity and sharpness...

It was really touching to analyze Gabe's "growth" path, which led him from denying the possibility of loving someone else, to discovering his new soul mate and finally accepting to move on with Nathalie... An ending really moving.

Mhmhmh, the idea of the plan where Hawkmoth uses his powers to akumize Mayura is really interesting... I would love to see it proposed in the canon!


His instinct of him is to not to resist. He wants to step closer, to turn her way, shake the butterfly from his fingers di lei, but remembering himself, he flinches away.
Perhaps, he does this too quickly, for Mayura appears bruised by the gesture. Her hand hangs in midair, her magenta eyes flash with hurt that she attempts to conceal after a moment, peeling back from him and rolling back her shoulders to assume an air of indifference.

This scene hurt my heart ❤️🥺

Anyway, gorgeous fic! <3

The part when he stepped away from her was very heart-clenching but I am delightes that they resolved their feelings and got to have their happy ending. Amazing story!
