So the mess that we'll become is a GabeNath fanfiction written by Amsves, starting in October of 2019. It is rated T for Teen And Up Audiences, with the archive warning No Archive Warnings Apply.

In the fic, Gabriel Agreste proposes a plan to Nathalie Sancoeur. He thinks that they should pretend to be having an affair that they are covering up rather poorly, so that they can sneak away in public more and have more convenient absences for villainous purposes and not connect themselves with HawkMoth and Mayura (who, of course, they actually are). Shenanigans, both romantic and comedic, ensue.

• Fake/Pretend Relationship, but with a twist, I call this one "Fake Clandestine Affair", what does that mean? stick around to find out, Don't copy to another site

Summary

• It's the perfect plan. Better this than Paris finding out the true identities of Hawkmoth and Mayura, anyways.
• [Updates Infrequently]

Reception

Gabriel: "No, no, this is a fantastic idea. I have paid attention to the first half of romcoms exclusively, before getting bored and changing the movie after they do the makeover scene for fashion research, and clearly they wouldn't keep using the same premise if it wasn't effective!"

Nathalie: "As someone whose whole life revolves around working for you and has no time for pop culture, yes, that sounds about right."

Oh these glorious morons. I love this trope, so, so much.
This fic is great. Your characterization of Gabriel is so nice here. Because of course a convoluted plan like that would come out of that dumb, pompadour genius' head. Of course you should tell Adrien so he, too, can be hyper alert to details he probably wouldn't have noticed before -- that will work out perfectly, Gabe.

I would so very much to love to see more of this.

This has stolen my kidneys in the best way possible.

I love this premise, I love how you wrote Nathalie, and I love that neither of these people have an ounce of awareness for people so successful in buisness.
My condolences to the legal team.

Cheers,
