well, of course i've tried lavender is a GabeNath fanfiction written for the GabeNath Reverse Bang by archekoeln. It is rated G for General Audiences. The fic was beta-read by kr15xxx.

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

Fic Info

Hawkmoth dips Mayura on top of the Eiffel Tower. Both are smiling. The sky is purple and full of stars.
This art piece by midnight-mermaid served as the inspiration for well, of course i've tried lavender.

Summary

K O E L N @archekoeln you think, i didn’t know mayura was the type to resort to something like this? but you’re wrong, because now you’re being carried like a sack of potatoes above paris and, 3/11

K O E L N @archekoeln well, the view’s nice and all but you’re also in the arms of a villain??? 4/11

K O E L N @archekoeln you also think, how is she so strong??? because you know you aren’t as light as a feather (haha i’m funny) and her arms are skinny af, but you know, magic i guess 5/11

or

An online thread about Mayura sparks something in Gabriel. And as her boss (and friend, and villainous partner, and her something), isn’t it his job to… to do what exactly? Well, even he doesn’t know.

Reception

This??? This is perfection. I freaking LOVED this.

There are so many layers to talk about here. The worldbuilding is incredible and so detailed for something that really is the canon universe. I love how the social media interactions are shaped and the perfumes! That's such a clever little insight into their world.

And of course the social media posts had me cracking up. I adore it.

WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS HOW MUCH I FRICKEN LOVE THIS

OH MY. THE ORIGINALITY IN THIS? THE FORMAT? THE HUMOR? ABSOLUTE AWESOME!

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH THIS IS TRULY MAGNIFICENT! The way you formatted everything was a delight! I could see everything happening like that IRL or Miraculous. You've perfect captured the spirit of each sight.

Hawkmoth, Gabriel, YOU PETTY LITTLE NERD! He's so cute when he's scheming. Mayura knows that well. (Nathalie using his perfume added years to my life.)

I'm going to be honest, this is how it would go down. If you're attractive, well-mannered, and likable, you'll be held responsible for much less. This is EXACTLY how those heathens on Twitter would react.

Boom, 10/10!
