We all know the story of Ladybug and Chat Noir. And now, they may have found out each other's identities. But MothGuy is forming and army of Akumas, and only one can survive. "Je'taime." A dangerous word.

It has been a year since Ladybug and Chat Noir became a crime fighting duo. They have yet to discover the identities of one another, until one harmless gift changes everything. I do not own the characters or the TV show. If you want to post this anywhere please ask me first. This was written in the middle of the first season, so some areas, (where I originally had to guess) may have been addressed in the show.

Marinette Dupain-Cheng is an average peasant girl growing up in a small village named Parisilia. It is strictly under the rule of King Gabriel. Since her father was murdered by the King's men years ago, she has learned to fend for herself with the help of her friend Alya. Living in the village isn't easy, especially when the taxes are raised and getting by is made increasingly difficult. So Marinette has to do something about it. But how could she as an average peasant girl? Her plan is to overthrow the kingdom. Feeing hopeless, Marinette nearly tosses aside this idea. On a cold and dreary night, when a fairy godmother grants her biggest wish, she has the ability to transform into Ladybug, a spotted hero who will demand change for the village. But she'll find that it's easier said than done when she unexpectedly meets Prince Adrien. Will Marinette ever have a happy ending without jeopardizing the lives of the ones she loves?

Warning: This story is very sad. Read if you dare ;)

"Mari, don't you dare--" Ayla warned. That was about when she jumped off the roof. A Marichat fanfiction, possible other shippings. PG13 Rating.
