Monsters and wizards terror the city of Paris, but Marinette is simply the daughter of two bakers. Like everyone else, she is powerless to stop the fearsome beasts or the wizard called Papillion, and knows little of magic. Until one day, a stranger with green eyes offers her an umbrella.
While you don't have to be familiar with the film in order to enjoy, I have to give full disclosure that this work is inspired by Howl's Moving Castle. My intentions were to capture elements of the atmosphere and characters of the film, not to stick different faces into Howl and Sophie's roles. The storyline varies quite a bit from what you see in the film. My hope is your familiarity with the source of inspiration will enhance and in no way detract from the enjoyment of this work. 💚

La Magie est Perdue à Minuit
(The Magic is Lost at Midnight) *COMPLETE!!!!!!!* This is a first attempt at writing a MLB fanfic! After watching the movie A Cinderella Story: Once Upon a Song, I was overwhelmed by the parallels in Miraculous Ladybug and Cinderella. Plus, the characters' appearances and personalities were so similar to the show! It was driving me crazy, so I had to write something off of it. This is based off of Tumblr @ssa-alexandria's theory/story idea of a Cinderella/Miraculous parallel. (Thank you so much for this!) Tell me your thoughts, how you felt about the story, feelings or questions, and things that can be improved! I appreciate all feedback. :)Complete
MY OTHER HALF ‣ MLB
❝ Oh my gosh, Tikki. ❞ ❝ You have no idea I much I missed you. ❞ Tikki and Plagg starts leading out another life as Tyler and Patrick. Unknown to each other's identities, they go to school, eat lunch, hangout like other teenagers do. But as Patrick reminds Tyler of Plagg and as Tyler reminds Patrick of Tikki, they start to think they might be more than friends. Tyler tried to stuff her emotions away in the corner of her heart and tried to focus on her duty as a Ladybug kwami . . . but the boy with emerald green eyes might just make her Plagg-sick. Patrick raises an eyebrow at the newbie and thinks she might be a little more than what she shows. And he just might be right . . . and he might take advantage of that. To those poor souls who do NOT know ML, I pity for you so I'll give you a quick summary: so there are two superheroes, Ladybug and Chat noir who save Paris from the evilized enemies of Hawk Moth. Ladybug and Chat noir are sorta in disguise so they don't know each other's identity. Marinette is a girl who is Ladybug under the mask. She has an uncontrollable affection towards the famous teen model, Adrien. Adrien, in the other hand, is Chat noir himself. While he was Chat noir, he fell in love with a dazzling beautiful girl named Ladybug. So, it's a mixed up four square relationship. Oh, who's Tikki and Plagg? Being superheroes is a privilege given by mysterious, magical creatures called Kwamis. Tikki is Ladybug's Kwami, supporting Marinette. And Plagg is Chat noir's Kwami, a Camembert cheese maniac. I hope this helps you! It would mean the world to me if you vote and comment! Thank you so much!! Currently undergoing edits and proofreads. COVER CREDITS: me @JueTheWitch! DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of these characters and credits to "Miraculous Ladybug: The Tales of Ladybug and Chat noir." Also, credits to my awesome followers!Complete

Borrowed Time
In this captivating reimagining of the Miraculous universe, Marinette Dupain-Cheng is not the shining beacon of hope we know. As Shadybug, she shoulders the immense burden of protecting Paris in a reality where heroism is darker, the stakes are higher, and mistakes cut deeper. Paired with the ever-charming yet mysterious Chat Noir, Marinette struggles to balance her life as a flawed superhero with the trials of being a teenager. High school is hard enough without the weight of secrets. Marinette must navigate friendships, budding love, and rejection-all while fighting Hawkmoth's relentless ambushes and grappling with her own insecurities. As battles rage and truths begin to surface, she discovers that saving her city comes with impossible choices, heartbreak, and the constant threat of failure. Through pain, destruction, and quiet moments of hope, Borrowed Time explores themes of identity, resilience, and the razor-thin line between heroism and ruin. For Marinette, every decision matters, every connection is fragile, and time is never on her side. With its unique twist on beloved characters and a world brimming with tension and angst, this story invites you to experience the Miraculous universe like never before.

Behind the Mask (Book One)
Adrien Agreste may seem like he has everything together. Being a famous model, all the girls crushing on him, secretly living a double life as a famous superhero, saving everybody... And most of all, having the perfect smile. But a smile can hide so much pain. He is broken. Lost his mother. Abused by his father. Wearing a mask everyday. But unlike them, she saw behind the mask. Trigger warning: child abuse, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, and depression. I tried not to make it extremely graphic, but some scenes may still be a bit graphic and it may still be triggering! This book also contains mild language. *I do not own the characters! All characters belong to Thomas Astruc! I also do not own the videos used in the story!* This is my first Adrienette/Miraculous Ladybug fanfic. Hope you enjoy! :)Complete![Beauty And The Curses (MLB Fanfic Sequel) [Completed]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/215892919-256-k208104.jpg)
