Salty Universe
Summary:
Yep, the stereotypical MLB salt au. Everyone believes Lila’s lies. Marinette and Chloé somehow become best friends. Luka is Marinette’s emotional support and just shows up when Marinette’s upset to play guitar for her. Kagami broke up with Adrien and is somehow in Marinette’s school. Don’t get me started on Félix and ‘Damien’.
‘Marinette’ doesn’t strip Chat Noir of his ring yet and he harasses her because she won’t accept his love. The akuma class bullies ‘Marinette’ and assaults her. ‘Marinette’ is depressed, but it all works out in the end. She never forgives the ones who believed Lila’s lies, she gets very famous, and makes sure that the akuma class will never get famous and blacklisted from everyone atp. Lila goes to jail. No second chance for stupid naive teenagers, who had no clue about Lila’s lies and are outcast from everyone. Chloé, who bullied Marinette for years, has more of a chance of redemption than them. Yep, that sounds reasonable.
Marinette in Salty Miraculous Ladybug world.

Chapter Text
Marinette was having a great week. Hawkmoth hardly made any Akumas, when he did, they were pretty easy to beat. She was getting mentored by Su-Han to make sure she was a good guardian. Marinette was glad that she was actually being mentored by someone and not just getting handed something and expecting to know how to use it.
Her site, MDC, which for people to commission clothes from. She wouldn’t say that she was famous, but she is well known. Though Jagged Stone loves to brag about his honorary niece.
Instead of focusing on crushes and romance, she started focusing more on herself and how to defeat Hawkmoth with the other holders.
She did tell her identity with the permission of Su-Han. She told Chat Noir, who turned out to be Adrien since he was there since day one.
Marinette couldn’t help but be embarrassed when she realized they were in a love square. Marinette with Adrien. Adrien with Ladybug. Ladybug with Adrien. Chat Noir with Ladybug.
Wow.
They really were stupid.
They talked about their feelings with each other. They both agreed to focus on Hawkmoth and Mayura instead of romance. Once they defeated Hawkmoth and Mayura, they could decide their feelings.
Hawkmoth was really annoying.
Ladybug groaned, shaking her head. “I’m starting to think that I’m the one with bad luck. Hawkmoth really doesn’t have a life, does he? Every single moment I start to relax, Hawkmoth decides to make an akuma.” She huffed.
Yeah, she stood by what she said. She couldn’t wait to defeat him.
Chat Noir’s lips curled up into a smirk, he leaned against his baton. “Well, I’m paw-sitively sure that I’m the one with the Black Cat Miraculous. Black cats equal bad luck, remember?” He chuckled, swirling his baton around. “Paw-don me, but as much as I love talking to you, m’lady, we have an akuma to defeat.”
“I’d have to agree with you, Chat. Hopefully it’s not too much of a destructive akuma. Those are awful to deal with.” Ladybug grabbed her yo-yo, aiming it at the building over.
“Don’t you mean clawful?” Chat Noir purred, following right after her with his extended baton.
She rolled her eyes fondly. “Don’t be too surprised if I accidentally chuck you at the akuma.”
“Meowuch.” Chat Noir cried out dramatically. “You wound me, Ladybug!” He exclaimed gleefully.
Ladybug laughed, before suddenly stopping. Her nose scrunched up. If Hawkmoth was going to make Akumas, at least make them look good. The fashion designer inside of her just wants to find Hawkmoth’s lair and give him lessons on what’ll look good on Akumas.
