Status: COMPLETED (14/06/2020) "Mama...I wish you were still here." Mari said while looking at the lonesome gravestone. "Mama, help me. I'm tired." The rain ran down her cheeks and mixed in with her tears as she felt a hand on her shoulder. "Mari, I'm here for you..." A certain blonde said reassuringly behind the broken bluenette. ***This is an AU so there are no heroes, no kwamis.

Marinette could go on about why she hated Adrien Agreste -- from his unfunny pranks to his ineffable attractiveness-ever since he had the audacity that day with the umbrella. And yet, here she was fake-dating him while in love with a superhero. (The adrienette enemy x fake-dating au, with fanart)

"Anyway, that piece of paper contains the name of this texting app. It's completely anonymous, so you can download it, make your account with no attachments to your personal life, and communicate with me outside our suits. I included my username on the paper, too, so you can add me once you're done." Her partner skimmed through the words on the paper and nodded his head. "Brilliant as always, M'lady. I'm surprised we didn't figure this out sooner within our superhero careers." "Yeah, it would've been nice to have this before, but hey, better late than never. Make sure not to have your phone screen on the messages if you're going to leave it somewhere. We don't want anyone reading our texts. Also, this is for emergencies only. No jokes or puns. I can only deal with you for so long." "I don't know if I can agree to that last one," he said. Now 22 and working full-time, Marinette and Adrien seem to be getting busier and busier, which means fewer opportunities to keep track of akumas and show up on time. With the idea of using a messaging app to communicate with each other without revealing their identities, their lives immediately grew to be easier... until it wasn't. **Fanfic has been transferred from Ao3.

Determined to find a place to stay for the time being, Marinette comes across the only other option. Living with your crush seems exciting- I mean, it's a chance to get closer to him, right? But instead, what lies ahead is a road of rumors, lies, danger, confusion, awkward teenagers, and quite a few secrets that begin to turn both Adrien and Marinette's lives upside down. While fighting for both of their identities, both are busy with their lingering emotions. Will either of them be able to confess how they really feel to one another before the year is up? Or will they forever remain oblivious to each other's identities and feelings? (previously #1 in miraculous and miraculousladybug)

A sequel to: Red Strings and Markers Adrien Agreste didn't remember much after the cathedral collapsed. He recalled hearing a voice, a female voice, calling out to him. "Chat! Chat Noir! God damn it, you'd better be alive when I get in there!" "Kid! Adrien! Are you okay?" The red string of fate connects you to the person you're fated to be with. Whenever you mark your skin, your significant other gets marked as well. The last thing Adrien remembered seeing before his world went dark was the elegant yet rushed pink ink on his forearm.

But their kwami only allow them to use their markers after an Akuma attack and never throughout the day.
