When Adrien goes in search of someone to talk to, he is surprisingly welcomed as his superhero Cat Noir side into the Dupain-Cheng household, leading to spending more time with his classmate Marinette.  While Adrien finds Marinette a bit difficult to understand when they are together at school, Cat Noir sees a different side to Marinette and begins to really value their relationship and maybe even see her in a different light.  When Adrien's teacher, Ms. Bustier, then pairs him with Marinette for a project, suddenly Adrien is put into some situations where it becomes easier to see Marinette as more than "just a friend."  But, will he?

While Adrien and Marinette find themselves becoming closer, Cat Noir and Ladybug are dealing with the growing unease of Paris' citizens who are concerned that supervillain Hawk Moth hasn't akumatized anyone in weeks.  The superheroes decide to take steps to try to figure out Hawk Moth's identity and uncover his plan as they also prepare for a potential epic battle with Hawk Moth. 

This is the first book in the "Secrets Unraveled" Trilogy following Adrien and Marinette's evolving relationship.  The books also delve into revealing the secrets behind the Miraculous' powers, including a new special power of the Ladybug Miraculous, and uncovering the mysteries surrounding Adrien's parents.

❝ 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!

"...Before she could make a full on run for it, for a second time he grabbed her wrist and pulled her back into the alleyway. This time pinning her against the wall, her hands placed above her head and their faces inches apart." Love. Hate. Heartache. Fluff. Sin. ~ all are qualities which make up this fan fic good luck ;) Writer ~ @ladynoirfanpage on insta Cover artist ~ @daddyofthebirdarmy on Instagram Main Sketcher/artist ~ @whiisteria on insta 'Closed in' a fan fiction inspired by the Tv Show 'miraculous'. For those of you who adore the ship adrienette,ladynoir, marichat and ladrien in the tv show "miraculous" I suggest you skip this and start reading! Since most of us are in quarantine we're all gonna be bored right? Well get ready for this 2020-21 miraculous fan fiction because it is gonna be filled with 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞, 𝐅𝐥𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤 and above all a little bit of 𝓢𝓲𝓷! We will be exploring the character development of both Adrien and marinette in this fan fiction. Marinette isn't as nervy as she has grown and matured over the years. Adrien is more like chatnoir around the people he loves and cares about, which is nice, because we never fully appreciate the fact Adrien has to put on this perfect persona to the public - whilst when he's chatnoir he can be his real self. Anyways start reading i promise you it's worth it! (❗️NOTE❗️ all art included in this fan fiction will most likely not belong to me I wanted to use it to make my story more interesting and give you more of a vision of my story for my readers,, if you want me to remove your fanart please please please message me and I will remove it, because I understand the misconceptions and people not fully appreciating your work from other posts !) This is preferably for 13+ I did warn you!

Paris' favorite Marinette Dupain-Cheng has gone missing for good, and Cat Noir just can't settle with the fact that no one seems to care, but he will keep searching, and never give up until she's found, even when all hope is lost, even at the cost of giving away everything he loves. 6/17/2021: STORY RANKED NUMBER 1 FOR #MIRACULOUS AND #MIRACULOUSLADYBUG , THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH!🥳🥳 _________________________________________ "I can't give up, I just can't, we must find her." Cat Noir looked with fear and sorrow in his partners beautiful blue bell eyes, that seemed to only glow more in the evening sky, but he didn't pay much attention to that, too much going on in his head as he feared for the fate of the young woman he used to know. Ladybug could tell he was scared, scared they might not be able to find her, but she couldn't tell him the truth, she just couldn't. She had to keep it a secret, no matter how wrong it felt. And if Cat noir knew the truth about this, he would only feel sorry for his dear lady, and she didn't want that. She looked down from him to avoid eye contact, knowing she couldn't explain, and she didn't want him to see the tears filling up in her eyes. _____________________________________________________ Appropriate for all ages! There may be slight violence, and a few kissing scenes, but nothing else. There is no crude humor, profanity, or anything sexual. ~ I do not own Miraculous Ladybug or any of the characters, credits to Thomas Astruc and Zag Animation. ~ You can also find me on instagram, @youreverydayladybug!

"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

"...it's you." Chat Noir said, changing back. Adrien was star-struck in awe at what he just witnessed. "It has been YOU all along. Marinette!... you're My Lady." He started to chuckle, but then saw the look on his Lady's face. "Marinette?" Marinette met his glance, but immediately looked away. "...go..." ___________________________________________ This story takes place before Season 2.
