"Anyway, that piece of paper contains the name of this texting app. It's completely anonymous, so you can download it, make your account with no attachments to your personal life, and communicate with me outside our suits. I included my username on the paper, too, so you can add me once you're done."

Her partner skimmed through the words on the paper and nodded his head. "Brilliant as always, M'lady. I'm surprised we didn't figure this out sooner within our superhero careers."

"Yeah, it would've been nice to have this before, but hey, better late than never. Make sure not to have your phone screen on the messages if you're going to leave it somewhere. We don't want anyone reading our texts. Also, this is for emergencies only. No jokes or puns. I can only deal with you for so long."

"I don't know if I can agree to that last one," he said.


Now 22 and working full-time, Marinette and Adrien seem to be getting busier and busier, which means fewer opportunities to keep track of akumas and show up on time. With the idea of using a messaging app to communicate with each other without revealing their identities, their lives immediately grew to be easier... until it wasn't.

"I hate you too," Adrien whispered back at me, his arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer to him, and a dashing smile plastered across his face. "Why do we have to do this?" I asked as his face came closer to mine. "Because our parents said so.

[ Book 2- SEQUEL to Spots Off ] "So, you're a fighter, Marinette Dupain-Cheng," Monsieur Paon interrupts. "H-How do you know my name?" I cough out. Monsieur Paon kneels beside me, ignoring my question, and as he raises his hand, I flinch-fully expecting him to hit me-but he gently touches my forehead. "You're bleeding," He points out. "W-What?" I ask, confused. I stare up at him. Why isn't he hurting me? Sure, he doesn't know I'm Ladybug (so technically I'm not an enemy right now), but he's partners with Miss Farfalle-who likes to wreak chaos in this city-so any bystander is an enemy worth fighting, right? "Are you okay?" I ignore the pain as I sit up and ask him, "What's wrong with you?" He laughs. "Excuse me?" "I know who you are, Monsieur Paon. You're that new villain attacking Paris," I remind him. "Why are you being nice to me?" Monsieur Paon stands and offers his hand. "Would you rather I wasn't? Do you want me to treat you like those two men did?" I glance back at them and before I can ask, he adds, "I didn't kill them-although they'd deserve it and I'm sure your boyfriend would agree with me-in case you were wondering." I stare up at Monsieur Paon. If he were going to hurt me, he'd have let those two men carry on with what they were planning. He wouldn't have gone through the trouble of saving me... right? - - - Adrien hasn't been the same since that unforgettable day six months ago-defeating Hawkmoth, his mother waking up, and three miraculous being stolen, including his own.

As the new Guardian, Marinette works day and night to uncover her newest enemies' secret identities while Adrien starts distancing himself with a terrible secret. What will become of Paris now? - - - ❗️All rights reserved to original creators❗️ Setting: season 4-5

[ Book 1 ] "I was fine without you when you weren't planning on coming back! I had to move on or it would have killed me! And here you are now." "Kitty, I'm so sorry." Ladybug steps forward and places a hand on my shoulder. Either a tear or raindrop runs down her cheek. I can't tell. "I promise, I never meant to do this to you. I thought I was careful. But you have to remember this isn't permanent-" "No, don't do that to me." Tears fall as I shake my head at her. "You can't leave and come back and leave again and promise to come back. My heart's had enough." Ladybug looks hurt. "So, what, do you hate me now or something?" "I could never hate you, Ladybug! I love you! I have always loved you! Do you know long I spent waiting for you to come back? Long enough that I put my feelings for someone else on hold. I'm with someone now and I can't turn my back on her. I can't just go back and pretend like nothing changed." "I'm glad you've found someone to make you happy, Cat Noir." Ladybug smiles and it fades away as her earrings beep. Only a few minutes left.

❝Isn't it sad when you get hurt so much, you can finally say, I'm used to it.❞ Does changing targets really work in the case of love for Marinette and Adrien? Love is not only something you feel, it is something you do. People love you not because of who you are, but because of who they are when they are with you. Love is what you've been through with somebody. Love is when you meet someone who tells you something new about yourself... 💔❤💔 "Forget hydrogen, you are my number one element." ❦ Running away from fear is fear, fighting pain is pain, trying to be brave is being scared, if the mind is in pain; the mind is pain. ❦ It just took a single minute for all the sweet dreams to get shattered as he rejected her and she watched her world burn into ashes. ❦ "You tried to kill the only person who loves all of me unconditionally." His nails dug into his palms with only the Miraculous armour protecting his skin and the blood from oozing out. Tears filled his eyes, "Y-You nev-never did." He confessed quietly. ❦ "Will you be my lover forever?" Her bright blue eyes reflected love. Adrien cupped her cheeks and brought her face closer to his, "Marinette, I will be yours forever." He whispered against her lips. ❦ "It's you and me against the world, Princess." 💔❤💔 A love story of two teens, both broken and hurt at some point. With the responsibility that is rested on their shoulders, would they be able to find each other? Would they be able to love or get lost into darkness? Adrien just wants to belong somewhere.

C O M P L E T E D ✕♛✕♕✕ "What about the promise we made when we were kids, Mari," He smiled. I felt shocked he remembered my nickname. That smile.. A sudden wave of realisation washed over me, taking my wrist back. "That promise died on the day you told me you never wanted to see me again, Adrien" I spat his name out like a disease. I stormed out slamming the door, "Our friendship died on the day you told me you never wanted to see me again." I muttered ✕♛✕♕✕ Adrien and Marinette have been friends since they were kids, well used to be. It changed when Adrien lost his mother, blocking everyone out and getting involved with the wrong people. Soon taking his anger out on Marinette, let's say it didn't end well and she now hates him because of that. He was soon your typical player, he gets laid and the others get played as they say. Making out in the Halls, soon followed by who knows what in the janitors closet. Marinette simply hated him, not only for hurting her in the past, but just playing with peoples heart like a toy from his parents. She wasn't exactly a so called nerd, but more what people call her a Princess. Not because she's a picky person but more of because she has a heart of gold, willing to help everyone, everyone BUT Adrien. Both hated each other, probably the one thing they have in common. It changed when they were assigned dorms, lucky for Marinette she got the one and only Player of the entire school. Will the two finally find out the reason behind each other's actions? Or will they forever be at each other's throats? This is the story of the Player and The Princess ✕♛✕♕✕ Edit: AND YES I AM EXTREMELY AWARE THAT THERE IS ANOTHER BOOK WITH THE SAME TITLE etgshhs I didn't realise this until now I feel like I copied someone I SWEAR I DIDNT I MADE THIS ENTIRE PLOT MYSELF Ranks: (In Fanfiction) #443 #634? #743 #800 Tags: mlb - #6 (thank you so much??) adrienette - #3 (omg) Started:10/01/18 Ended:12/06/18

🚨DISCONTINUED🚨 i re-read this book and... well, comparing it to my latest works, it kinda sucks. the story is good and i like where it was going. i just... don't like it anymore. plus, with season 5 out now, i have to rethink my original ending and everything. i am rewriting it. it'll have an oc, an new kwami and a whole new backstory, so a lot is gonna change. i don't know when i'll start posting it but i promise it'll be better than this. thank you for enjoying this one if you decided to read it :) ------------------- (Y/N) has just moved to France. She is a spunky, athletic (sorry if you're not), and an incredibly observant person. Naturally, when villains start attacking Paris and heroes are saving the day, she recognizes her friends, Marinette and Adrien as the superheroes, immediately. Being their bestest friend ever, however, Y/N doesn't tell anybody that she knows and tries her hardest to cover for them when they're late or are struggling to come up with an excuse; plus she joins in on adventures often. Join Y/N on this dangerous and love filled adventure of villains and magic. -Warning: this does contain violence, strong language, sexual activity and mature themes. Beware. Also, they are 17 y/o, senior year, grade 12, 12th year, how ever you say that. So they are old enough for freaky things. -I will also be writing the episodes I think are beneficial to the plot, I'll leave filler episodes out for the most part. -Under constant editing and rewriting. So old chapters will probably change a bit as I go. -All characters (except Y/N) and episodes belong to Miraculous Ladybug. Everything that I write about Y/N is from my own brain. -Thank you

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!!!!!!
All The Things She Feels by funtom_bunny

The cold night air made Marinette shiver and cuddle into the red scarf that wrapped around her neck. She looked at the bright lights of Paris, of her city. A city of love. A city of light and happiness. Yet she had none. She clenched the charm Adrien had given her what felt like so long ago. He was all that was left. Everyone had left her. Her parents were disappointed in her. Her friends were angry. She heard the flapping wings of an Akuma and closed her eyes. She didn't try to stop it from taking over the charm in her hand, dark energy spreading through the trinket as his voice calmly entered her mind. As she uttered the words she was sure she would never say, she held the lucky charm close and listened to her thoughts as she lost control. Adrien and Chat. Adrien and Chat. That was all that was left. And then Marinette Dupan Cheng fell- no, she flew- off the edge of the Eiffel Tower to reveal her akumatized form. It all came in a rush that surprised even Hawkmoth because at that moment she felt every negative emotion, everything she was ever angry about came through her mind, powering her body. It was everything. It was all the things. It was all the things she felt. A few curse words, so be wary! JEEZ #1 IN AKUMATIZEDMARINETTE (3-19-20) WTF?

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!
