Summary
“Xisuma,” Mumbo spoke, “With all due respect, I think we can all tell where this is going. But we aren't together anymore. Boatem broke up for a reason.”
“I understand. But we are just asking for one more mission. One more undercover assignment and then we will leave you alone, but this is important so I have to ask.” Xisuma turns his helmet to the ground for a moment before looking back up.
“Boatem, we need your help.”
Or, after rescuing Boatem, taking down the corrupt Council, and rebuilding what the could of the Hero Tower, Grian and everyone tried their best to heal. After a year and some change, everyone was on their own path, content and getting better everyday.
That is until their leader Xisuma calls all the old members of Boatem together to share some truly unsettling news. The Council may not be as destroyed as they once thought. And theres only one group out there who can go undercover in an organized crime ring long term, while trusting each other the whole way. Too bad that group has disbanded.

Summary
“Have you considered the possibility that Neil has chosen you, but believes you have not chosen him?” Renee says. "Have you ever explicitly told him what you want?”
“Neil knows what I want,” Andrew snaps. This is not Andrew’s fault.
“How do you know?”
Because Neil always knows. He is as fluent in Andrew’s micro-expressions as he is in German and French. He knows which head tilts mean “go on” and which ones mean “shut up.” Without ever asking, he learned what it meant to see Andrew wearing double layers of long sleeves, or taking multiple showers in a day, and learned to hand Andrew the car keys.
That has always been the most terrifying thing about Neil — his patience to wait, watch, listen, learn. The prospect that if Neil were given enough time, there would be no part of Andrew that was just Andrew’s anymore.
“He has to know,” Andrew says.
“Does he?” Renee says. “Have you ever known Neil to assume that he is wanted?”
Five times Neil tells someone that he and Andrew aren’t dating, and one time Andrew uses his words to set the record straight.

Summary
Change is a scary thing, especially when it feels like nothing has stayed the same.
It's been a year since Marinette became the Guardian of the Miracle Box - a year of struggling beneath a burden she never asked for, a weight that has her leaning on her partner more and more as the hours fly by, of letting him come to her, too, when he needs a soft place to land. A year of falling for the boy who takes on the world by her side with a smile made of sunlight, and fighting the growing urge to tell him what he means to her.
After all, they'll have time enough for that when Paris is safe.
But when the unthinkable happens, Marinette learns the tragedy of loving someone quietly, and the lines she'll cross to save him.
