Marinette Dupain-Cheng, at the age of 6, met with a car accident that killed both her parents and caused her amnesia.
Unfortunately for her, she was adopted by a leader of a huge thieving organisation and was convinced to be led down the wrong path. She only started regaining her memories at the age of 14, when her "father" abandoned her.
It doesn't end there. Silent thieves who prefer to stay hidden from the organisation, framed her again and again, causing the famous Chat Noir to be onto her, giving her multiple warnings, but the feline hero could never bring himself to arrest the girl. She just seemed so..... broken, grey.
A/n: I'm re-writing this story from my other account. The other one was crappy and cringy.

Now, at sixteen, after being Ladybug for two years and being Guardian of the Miraculous for one, she was beginning to crack. It didn't help that Lila had taken all of her friends away from her.

back when i was a hero. tales of ladybug & chat noir.
one moment can change everything. one day, one pair of earrings, one choice that led to countless sleepless nights, to risking everything each day, all for the chance to save a world she never thought she'd be part of. marinette dupain-cheng, a fashion student simply trying to survive, finds herself balancing a life she never expected-one where she's ladybug, a hero side by side with chat noir. and it wasn't any different for him. one ring, one decision, and suddenly, everything shifted-freedom, self-discovery, a chance to love in ways he never thought possible. adrien agreste, a model who had never known school, never known friendship, finds himself as chat noir, standing alongside ladybug, united by the weight of a responsibility neither of them could have foreseen. ᓚ₍ ^. .^₎ ───── as a child, i was absolutely obsessed with miraculous ladybug. i had a youtube channel dedicated to it, tikki plushies everywhere, and watched the show nonstop. now, as a nursing student, miraculous is still close to my heart, especially since it's still airing new episodes. but as i've grown, i've started to see the show through a different lens and realized that what i truly want is a darker, more mature version-one with older characters, real character development, and some deep plot twists. in this rewrite, i aim to fix the things that never quite sat right with me, like marinette's stalker-ish tendencies, chloe's redemption arc that never really went through, and chat noir being stuck in the role of the sidekick. instead, i'll take you through a reimagined miraculous where the plot takes different turns, characters face real consequences, and we take a deeper dive. it's all rather slowburn, including the romance. have fun reading. / almost daily chapters ᓚ₍ ^. .^₎ ──── Copyright © lacywritings 2025.

"Are you trying to impress Adrien?" He asked, and Marinette sighed deeply, walking over to her desk chair and slamming her butt on it, the chair twirling a little. "Jealous cat." She said, smiling up at him. "What brought you here anyway, kitty?" His smile wavered, "Can't I come to see my confidant?" She rolled her eyes. "Well, confidant... What brought you here?" He shrugged and sat on the floor near her, staying clear of the train on the dress. "I actually needed a girl's advice." She raised her brow quizzically. "Okay... what does the 'ladies man' need to know?" Referencing the most recent interview he did. "Oh, come on. I didn't expect them to keep that part in the interview." She giggled. "It was funny, I'm glad they kept it in." He flicked her exposed leg through the dress slit. "Okay, but I just had a question about Ladybug." Marinette swallowed hard at the mention of herself. She suddenly felt like she shouldn't be hearing this because she was Ladybug. "Okay, shoot it." He bit his lip, maybe unsure how to word it. "Well... I kinda tried to court her for at least the last 7 months. She didn't accept it, and I finally accepted that myself... but I guess my question is why she might not have wanted me. I'm sorry, I'm not even sure you could answer that... It just seems like Ladybug trusts you, so maybe she mentioned something to you?" -- Marinette Dupain-Cheng, a usually stubborn, headstrong girl, finally gives up on liking Adrien Agreste. He can't seem to take the hint, and she can't seem to conjure the confidence just to tell him. Chat Noir, a superhero who's able to charm any girl in his double life AND civilian form, can't seem to charm the one girl he wants: Ladybug. Both with deflated hearts seek comfort in others. -- Marked as Mature due to dark topics and references to smut. THEY ARE 18
