Marinette Dupain-Cheng is done. Done with the lies, done with Hawkmoth, done with her class, done with being forced to react instead of taking action- enough is enough.
Marinette rededicates herself, focusing on her duties as Guardian, Ladybug, and a student, working hard to tie up loose ends. When Ladybug defeats Hawkmoth, she feels the weight of the world lift off her shoulders. Free to leave Paris and her class behind, applies to a new school. Her parents hugged her when they got the call. The Dupain-Cheng's waste no time, they pack their bags, lease the bakery, and move to Gotham, New Jersey. There, Marinette gets a fresh start in a new school.
Marinette can be who she wants to be without worrying about lying bullies... But it wouldn't hurt to be careful- would it? The Parisian holds everyone at arm's length, not worrying about swaggering, haughty classmates as she focuses on keeping her head down- until she meets Damian Wayne.
Damian Wayne is not jealous of the smart, likable, reserved- but still excitable Parisian that he shares almost every class with. He isn't. He refuses to deal with such a naïve and substanceless girl- until she corrects him in class.
Damian gets payback, correcting her as he sees fit. He refuses to lose to such an unworthy opponent. She will not win.
Marinette is more than prepared to stand her ground.

Remember Me
YOU HAVE TO READ "Everybody Needs a Safe Place" TO UNDERSTAND THIS SUMMARY & STORY. THIS STORY DOES NOT GO ALONG WITH THE NEW SEASONS ---------------------------- Adrien sighed as he ran his fingers through Marinette's hair. They were laying in her bed after fighting with another akuma. He was glad they knew each other's identity now. She cuddled closer to him as they rolled over, he pulled her to his chest. She looked up at him. "Why aren't you letting me remember, Adrien?" He couldn't catch his breath as he shook his head. He lifted her head into his hands before frowning at her. The tone of her voice was off. "What are you talking about, Princess." She frowned at him, the blue light in her eyes dying out. He shook his head as she started to fade in his hands. "Who are you?" He yelled her name but couldn't reach her anymore. She was leaving him! Someone was shaking him as he was being woken up. He had to get her back! He woke up to Felix and Plagg looking at him in sorrow. He couldn't speak as he just grabbed his hair. He was nothing without his safe place but that place was locked away in her forgotten memories. ------------------------ Adrien Agreste only had a month left to graduation but he had lost one of the best things school gave him. Marinette. The accident took away more than just his love for his father but also the love of his life. No one will let him go near her to tell her everything she's forgotten. He has to have her back though. There was no villian in this story other than Marinette's lost memories destroying him. He had to find a way to get her back. ================= No this story does not follow the current season. No this story will not have a super-villian. This is a straight angst to happy story that will follow our favorite couple to their happiness. THERE WILL BE MATURE CONTENT!!!!!!Complete

Mari-Gold Ivy
so I decided to make a fanfiction where Marinette is poison Ivy's daughter. And before you ask the father is unknown. She is taken away from poison Ivy at the age of 12 because she was deemed unfit to be a parent. Yes I know what a bunch of jerks separating a mother and daughter. Marinette had been really close to the people of Gotham. By people I mean villains and vigilants. Yep she was the very much loved princess of Gotham. Trained in many different ways but with the exception of evil. She was adopted by a Parisian couple. They loved her as their own. Overall Marinette was happy though she missed her mother very much.That was until a certain liar came into the picture. She turned all of marinette's friends against her. Marinette's teacher was well a crappy teacher who put on the work load in Marinette's hands and fell for Lila's lies as well 😤😤😤. So Marinette was known as a troublesome student. Yeah so Lila some how got her parents to commit suicide. luckily she was unofficially adopted by Chloe. She took her in saying Marinette was her own. So what happens when Marinette decides to enter a competition and wins? what if the prize was a trip to Gotham? will Lila's lies be revealed? How will the class react to marinette's family and friends? Find out more by actually reading this book 😁😁😁. Am not giving away all the details 😛😝😏. Come on yo know you want to 😏😏. I mean it's daminette who doesn't love daminette. Plz support me ✨✨✨ Love Jenny ❤️❤️❤️Complete

She fled the City of Light, heartbroken and hunted. He rules the City of Shadows with a blade and a scowl. When Marinette Dupain-Cheng is forced to leave Paris after a betrayal that shatters everything she's fought for, she seeks refuge in Gotham - the one place chaos still makes sense.

The only thing stopping them is Hawk Moth and their terrible luck. Full Description: Marinette Dupain-Cheng spent her time split between being a normal senior in high school and dreaming of handsome model Adrien Agreste and saving Paris from an unrelenting villain, Hawk Moth. In a stroke of luck, a few years ago Adrien enrolled in her school in Paris where she could see him every day. Unfortunately for her, she only managed to say one or two complete sentences around him without sounding like a total idiot. Adrien's life was torn between being hounded by fans or by being oppressed by his overbearing father. The only time that he ever truly feels free is when he takes form as his alter ego Chat Noir and is by Ladybug's side. When he turns 18, Adrien not only gains the ability to use unlimited Cataclysms he finally gains the attention of his crush and bugaboo, Ladybug.

Queen of mean
So everyone has turned on Marinette believing Lila's lies. Adrien is a jerk and doesn't defend Marinette basically saying that the liers feelings are more important than his friends. Marinette moves on from them but them being the idiots they are continue to bully her. They demand that she continues to give her free stuff. Then they push it too far getting Marinette akumatised. What will they do with no ladybug to purify the akuma. Will Chat Noir still keep his miraculous. Heartbreak, crushes no more, friend loss are all in this book. Plz remember that I do not own miraculous tales of ladybug or the DC universe. Also I do not own most of the art work only the story line enjoy. ✨✨✨ JennyComplete
