Okay, here's everything you need to know before diving into this story:
- This is a rewrite of the Miraculous movie (with heavy influences from the TV show).
- Adrien is the main character, but Marinette is still heavily featured.
- The love square is reversed, meaning LB falls for Chat and Adrien falls for Marinette.
- There'll be 18 chapters in total. (All chapters have already been written in advance.)
- Don't worry- there will still be a happy ending when all is said and done.
- The songs are still included, but I rewrote them to fit the opposite character e.g. Mari's songs are all Adrien's and vice versa. If you can't hear the tunes in your head, feel free to read the songs as edgy poetry! (But also, they're only like 2% of the story, so they're pretty easy to ignore if you really hate songfics.)
- This version is gonna be a lot darker than the original movie. So content warnings for: panic attacks, swearing, suicidal ideation, depression, abuse (physical, psychological, and also in the form of child neglect), mild blood, PTSD, and non-graphic depictions of a car crash.
Hope you enjoy :D

Adrien's eyes remained glued to the calendar that was stuck on the bedroom wall in front of him. Today's date, which he'd circled with a red pen, told him two things. One, it was day 172. And two, it was the 1st of September.
Today, every other French kid his age was going back to school. He imagined most of them were probably upset about it, after spending their whole Summer having fun or earning money. But now they were waking up early, getting ready, packing bags, and reuniting with friends.
Every other kid. Except Adrien. Instead he was still sitting on the edge of his bed, still in his pajamas, with absolutely nothing to get ready for.
And that was the big problem, wasn't it? The reason he'd circled this particular day in the first place. Because maybe he could've been. He was sure that if he'd pleaded with his dad (or well, Nathalie), he could've persuaded them to let him go to school. If he'd really wanted to.
But he hadn't.
He hadn't said anything. He hadn't done anything. He'd been weighing up the decision all Summer, throwing it back and forth in his mind but at the end of the day, he just wasn't sure if he was ready.
He could blame his dad for being overprotective all he wanted but Adrien knew the truth.
Nobody was holding him back except for himself.
Leaning on his arms, he let his head fall backward and laughed humorlessly.
If I Could Just Be Free
(If I Believed In Me - Adrien edition)
"What I'd achieve
If I could just be free. I could enjoy the world and boy,
There's so much mystery. But I'm stuck in this slump.
All my limbs, they feel like junk.
To a degree,
I just can't find the key."
He stood up and walked over to the window to get a better look at the hustle and bustle going on, all of which were completely ignorant to his watchful eyes.
