When everyone turns 17, they get a set of initials or an initial somewhere on their body that links them to their soulmate - the person who is their other half. Marinette was incredibly excited for her seventeenth birthday. She was hoping her mark would link her to Adrien. When she saw her mark, she was shocked. There was only one person in the world who her soulmate could be. Her mark was a green and black CN, which meant her soulmate was Cat Noir. DISCLAIMER: WE DO NOT OWN MIRACULOUS LADYBUG!

In this AU of the Miraculous Ladybug series, Marinette is akumatized after all of her classmates believe Lila's lies. Now Princess Justice, will Marinette choose to obey Hawk Moth's commands or follow her own destiny? This is my head canon of what an episode where Marinette gets akumatized would look like. Please follow me for more Miraculous related stories. Also, if you like my writing, please consider buying my actual books to support me. :) *Note: in this AU, the miraculous holders get to keep their miraculouses instead of Ladybug taking them. This is also set before Marinette becomes the guardian.*

Let's fast forward a bit; Marinette and Adrien are twenty years old and it's time for them to go to college. Unknowingly and by mere coincidence, Nino, Adrien, Marinette, and Alya end up going to the same college; the University of Paris. Now that Ladybug and Chat Noir have defeated Hawkmoth, it's time for them to move on. It's time for them to live a normal life; a normal life in college. 05/12/18 - #82 in Miraculous ----- 11/21/20 - #1 in Adrienette ----- 12/6/20 - #2 in Ladrien ----- 03/20/21 - #1 in Alya Cover Artist Credit: Itslopez.

A second later I yelled as a clawed fist punched a hole through the wall, a faint black haze floating around the green cat's paw ring on one finger. The plane and everything in it suddenly disintegrated around me and I found myself staring into the bright green eyes of a blond boy wearing a catsuit. He grinned at me and winked, then gravity kicked in and I plummeted towards the ground with a scream. ***I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE MIRACULOUS CHARACTERS, NOR YOU, THE READER, THIS IS PURELY FOR MY OWN ENTERTAINMENT AND YOURS***

In this story, Adrien would love it if fangirls left him alone for once in his life, but he knows that this will likely be a problem for as long as he's single. Nino comes up with a potentially genius plan: just pretend to date someone. Adrien decides Marinette would be the best option, and he was right. Marinette's kind heart could not say no to Adrien. But what happens when Adrien starts to feel things with Marinette that he never felt before? Is she really "just a friend"?
