Marinette Dupain-Cheng was fed up of men and after finding her fiancé in bed with somebody else, she was hell-bent that no woman would ever feel the way she did. A year on and she is one of Paris' most successful honey trappers. Still recovering from the emotional turmoil of not only her failed relationship but also from the one night of bliss with her childhood crush, Marinette puts all her time and energy into exposing cheating men. That is until a unique opportunity comes up. Three years after their night together, Adrien Agreste is back in her life, and she has six weeks to trap him. The only problem is Adrien isn't the only one keeping secrets and Marinette finds herself in a tangled web of secrets, lies, lust and misplaced loyalties. Lines are crossed. Rules are broken and the hunt is on. UPDATED COVER ART BY THE AMAZING ROSE MINOU 🌹

Three years ago, Ladybug and Chat Noir defeated Hawk Moth--or so they thought. After getting her heart broken by Adrien, Marinette leaves Paris to go to college in England. However, when she returns, she and Chat Noir find out that Hawk Moth has come back and his akumas are more venomous than ever. But that isn't the only thing that has changed. Adrien is torn between his feelings for Ladybug and his feelings for Marinette. Which will win out? And who will get hurt in the process?

Everyone has a soul mark linking them to their other half; their soul mate. Some are happy with the reveal, others have to reconsider their options and their relationships. On the morning of Adrien's sixteenth birthday he wakes up expecting to see a soul mark linking him to Kagami, she was certain it would appear, she was certain they were made for each other. However, fate had other plans. Adrien woke with no soul mark meaning his soulmate was yet to turn sixteen, the youngest of the pairing always being the catalyst to the soul mark appearing. As always Adrien doesn't want to disappoint, so as Kagami gains excitement about her own soul mark, he fails to inform her that his own skin is still unmarked. Even Plagg can't convince Adrien his plan is not a good idea, leaving his soul mate alone and, as she believes, unloved. So what happens when he's paired with his soul mate on his final Lycée assignment? Or when there's a fatal shooting at the local mall, and one of his close friends becomes injured? Will identities be hero identities be revealed? But more importantly how will Adrien get out of the mess he created by not telling the truth? ** Soul Mark AU ** Inspired by One Tree Hill Episode - With Tired Eyes, Tired Minds, Tired Souls, We Slept Characters all owned by Thomas Astruc and Zagtoons.
