Marinette is done. She is exhausted, tired of lying to everyone, tired of feeling so alone.
Tired of everything.
And one day, after a particularly bad altercation with Lila, Marinette finally breaks.

After this fateful afternoon that changed their lives, things become even more complicated for the heroes of Paris. Now, there's only one thing left to do; Holding on.
To life. To love. To each other.

They just need to hold on, no matter how hard it gets.

TRIGGER WARNING
Although the term "depression" isn't used in the story, it is very heavily implied.

Behind the Mask (Book One) by suniboba

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! :)

Princess by quiteheartless

"You are my Princess, Marinette. You know that. Don't ever forget it!" They say that words can change lives, but for Marinette, an ordinary Parisian college student, she finds that difficult to believe. Chat Noir, half of Paris' favourite crime fighting duo, however, knows how true this is. By day, he is also just an ordinary civilian, but when trouble arises (or just whenever tbh), he transforms into a superhero and saves the day. But when Chat Noir begins to befriend Marinette, they become ever closer, even as Marinette begins to descend into depression. Soon enough, saving the day isn't the only thing on his mind. He needs to save her. But will this put Chat's secret identity at risk? Will he ever be free again? {AU where Mari isn't Ladybug. Ruins the entire fandom, I know, but whatever. Deals with some sensitive issues, including depression and anxiety. Please don't comment saying I shouldn't write characters like that if I don't suffer, because I do. Most chapters are okay, and you will be warned if they are more triggering.}

Faded: A Marinette Depressed AU by Miraculous_Boppy

"I've become faded because of what everyone did to me. Nobody loves me, trusts me or wants me anymore. This is where the story of Marinette Dupain-Cheng ends.

unexpected feelings | marichat by yassspeeta

in which marinette and chat noir spend all their free time together and realize they are in love. love, however, kinda sucks at times. they realize this soon enough. - sorta slowburn i suppose i should mention, tho that can probs be picked up based off the number of parts lol - lowercase intended - ALL RIGHTS TO THE CHARACTERS GO TO ZAG TOONS + THE CREATORS OF MIRACULOUS, I DID NOT CREATE THEM NOR DO I OWN THEM

Miraculous Ladybug - What's Done is Done by sksk_no

Miraculous: The Adventures of Ladybug and Chat Noir - Adrien and Marinette, oblivious as always. As tension between the pair increases, so does their inevitable love square. They're so focused on one another that they don't notice the figure monitoring them in and out of costume. Will the reveal lead to the two breaking ties? Who'll make the first move? There's two endings, the alternative ending is the more interesting of the two in my opinion There is swearing but nothing sexual that goes further than them making out. Short explanation at the beginning in case you need it, constructive criticism is encouraged Credit to the creators of Miraculous, i only created the storyline but you probably knew that already. I'm not sure who made the cover if but if you do let me know so i can credit them :)

Numb (FINISHED!!) by NyanKittyPug

It's been four years since Marinette Dupain-Cheng became Ladybug, one of the many super heroes of Paris, although the others are only called on in case of an emergency and Ladybug and her partner/best friend Chat Noir can not handle an akuma without them. And yet, in four short years, the very same Marinette, the hero of Paris and holder of the miraculous of creation, has become numb. Numb to everything in the world. Only alert and bright whenever whipping triumph the streets of Paris France when fighting an akumatized citizen and saving the day with her best friend. What will happen when one fateful night Marinette shows through the mask and Chat Noir finally understands what danger she is under? Will he be able to save her in time? Or will he become numb as well? Find out by reading! P.S. I do not own Miraculous Ladybug or any of it's characters! I also do not own any of the art or pictures shown! Have fun reading :p

20 questions by xxxjustawriterxxx

{completed} "20 questions..." Chat breathed, staring into his Lady's gorgeous eyes. She, however, looked away. She couldn't look at those hopeful green orbs and reject him again. So her eyes met his anew and she closed them momentarily to suck in a deep breath. "Okay... 20 questions." - Chat Noir is still desperate to know Ladybug's identity and he has an idea. So after an akuma attack he pops the question. 20 questions to get to know her. He would be able to ask one for twenty days. If he didn't know her identity after the questions, he would have to stop bothering her about it. He couldn't bug her about it forever... One thing is for sure. Chat won't back down. After all those questions, he would know who the lady of his dreams was. ! PG-13 ! - highest ranks - #1 ladynoir #2 ladrien #2 miraculous #6 chatnoir
