Falling for a Villain (Miraculous Ladybug)

Disclaimer

Hello! this is just a few things I wanted to say before you start reading just in case.

Firstly, Spoilers!

This is an 18+ story. I will not go into too much detail but there will be violence as well as possible mentions of depression and mature scenes. I do not want to ruin an aspect of childhood for young kids hoping to read a fun story. Falling for a Villain will also occur years later so these characters are all adults. Please respect this boundary but if you continue, it is not my fault so please do not get upset at me.

This will be a slow burn, enemies-to-lovers, because I want to improve my writing and world-building. I got inspiration from "The Wolf - A Miraculous Ladybug Fanfiction" by ElbieB13. This is my own story with some inspired scenes and themes.

~~~

For story purposes, 

My story begins right around the time after Marinette and Luka break up in the episode "Truth" (first episode of Season 4). The episode after, "Lies", in which Adrien and Kagami break up, never happens. Every episode before "Truth" is canon in my story. There will be some aspects of the story that change and some that don't. 

Alya does NOT find out Marinette's identity in "Gang of Secrets"

IMPORTANT: Instead of high school/middle school --- ALL EVENTS ARE DURING A UNIVERSITY SETTING, SPECIFICALLY SENIOR YEAR

Ages of some characters (all Marinette's classmates are 22 years old):

Marinette: 22

Felix: 23

Adrien: 22

Kagami: 22

Luka: 23

I will mainly be using only the show's canon events to influence my story. I might refer to the New York or Shanghai specials but not the Shadybug and Claw Noir special (we aren't getting into multiverse theory). And I am not using anything from the Miraculous Movie.

~~~

All characters belong to Zagtoon and Method Animations, as well as the creators of Miraculous Ladybug: Tales of Ladybug and Chat Noir. All artwork belongs to the respective artists unless otherwise mentioned.

I will put trigger warnings on violent or triggering chapters.

I try to keep to the original story as much as possible and incorporate backstory into the show events. There may be gaps (especially if you haven't seen the show) due to different perspectives. I highly recommend having seen the show before reading this but you should be able to follow along regardless.

I appreciate feedback on story writing, grammar and punctuation, and plot, however, I will not tolerate hateful or rude comments directed at myself or at someone else.

I hope you enjoy!
