It's the 1930's. 19 year old Marinette Dupain-Cheng's family is feeling the negative impacts of the Great Depression on their small bakery. Adrien Agreste's family, however, is not feeling the sting of the crisis. This causes Adrien, a rising actor, to suffer emotionally rather than financially due to the struggles of those around him. What comes next is a Bonnie and Clyde/Robin Hood story where our two characters turn into the notorious Ladybug and Chat Noir who steal money from the wealthy to give to the poor. Will these outlaws become heroes? Or will their criminal deeds lead to their downfall? ═════════•°• :warning: •°•═════════ This story is rated 13+ due to detailed violence, some suggestive content, and mild language. ╔═══━━━─── • ───━━━═══╗ IDEA: edendaphne COVER ART: edendaphne COVER: bingsublu WRITING: bingsublu ╚═══━━━─── • ───━━━═══╝
