Haunted by certain ice cream flavors and the realization that her love will never be reciprocated, Marinette finds herself comforted by the soft blue lilt of an all-too-familiar melody. As she starts to rebuild herself from scratch, there's no telling how soon she will again be swept away, lost in a sea of cerulean. Marinette can't help but build up walls, but they are clear and fragile as windowpanes. All it takes is a heartfelt tune to send her crashing through, diving, straight into the deep end.
What will happen when she begins to be pulled in two separate directions? Will Marinette accept a golden-edged lifesaver, or will she continue to dive? As chaos erupts, confusion ensues, and Hawkmoth still, irritatingly, continues to create akumas, Marinette is caught in a world of battles, the end prize being her sanity, her strength, and her heart.
Will Ladybug save the day? Or will she crumble under the pressure?
Stay tuned to find out.
At 16 years old, Marinette prepares for the chance of a lifetime. Internships, closer to defeating Hawkmoth, overcoming the awkwardness between her and her crush... but when her parents decide to leave for a baking contest in the states, she's told she can't live in Paris on her own. Determined to find a place to stay for the time being, Marinette comes across the only other option.
Living with your crush seems exciting- I mean, it's a chance to get closer to him, right? But instead, what lies ahead is a road of rumors, lies, danger, confusion, awkward teenagers, and quite a few secrets that begin to turn both Adrien and Marinette's lives upside down.
While fighting for both of their identities, both are busy with their lingering emotions. Will either of them be able to confess how they really feel to one another before the year is up? Or will they forever remain oblivious to each other's identities and feelings?
