In this captivating reimagining of the Miraculous universe, Marinette Dupain-Cheng is not the shining beacon of hope we know. As Shadybug, she shoulders the immense burden of protecting Paris in a reality where heroism is darker, the stakes are higher, and mistakes cut deeper. Paired with the ever-charming yet mysterious Chat Noir, Marinette struggles to balance her life as a flawed superhero with the trials of being a teenager.
High school is hard enough without the weight of secrets. Marinette must navigate friendships, budding love, and rejection-all while fighting Hawkmoth's relentless ambushes and grappling with her own insecurities. As battles rage and truths begin to surface, she discovers that saving her city comes with impossible choices, heartbreak, and the constant threat of failure.
Through pain, destruction, and quiet moments of hope, Borrowed Time explores themes of identity, resilience, and the razor-thin line between heroism and ruin. For Marinette, every decision matters, every connection is fragile, and time is never on her side. With its unique twist on beloved characters and a world brimming with tension and angst, this story invites you to experience the Miraculous universe like never before.

Stray ~ A MariChat Love Story (Complete) by lilymagix

"I just don't understand, Chat. I thought...all this time...," she clenched her fists at her sides and stared up at him, "What changed?" Chat Noir stepped closer, pinning her against the railing of her balcony. The moonlight highlighted the dark ridges of his mask and his green eyes shone through the dark leather, as equally enticing and mesmerizing as they'd been that night they danced on the Eiffel Tower. "I'm a cat, Mari." he whispered. He wrapped his arms around her waist and the heat from his body made her shiver in the cold. She pressed her palms against his chest and his warm breath ruffled her fringe. Chat offered her a small smile, her heart hammering in her chest. "And sometimes..." he dipped his head down to hers. "We cats tend to stray." ~~~ While out one night in the park, Chat Noir finds Marinette and tries to escort her home safely. But she's injured protecting him from an akuma and he feels responsible for her. Intent on making it up to her, Chat Noir visits her regularly to make sure she's doing well. But it doesn't take long before their meetings become more than just casual check-ups. Bad things happen when superheroes fall for civilians, but even with the threat of Hawk Moth looming around, Chat can't seem to stay away. Will the risks be worth it in the end? Because this cat's curious, And his bad luck might just start catching up to him... Minor Adrienette and LadyNoir. Based off the events of season one only and set two years in the future.

YOU'RE GONNA GO FAR - MIRACULOUS by chatblancsgf

"we ain't angry at you, love. you're the greatest thing we've lost." ladybug was getting worried. VERY, worried. chat noir has started to only pull up to patrol only half time recently, and he cut it short every time. during battles it was like he wasn't focused, careless, he even stopped making those ridiculous jokes. and as much as ladybug complained about them, it was just off without them. everything was just... off lately. she tried asking if something was wrong, she really did, but he shut her down every time. everything was 'fine,' as he would say. as for chat noir, even after three years it seems like he still hasn't gotten over his mother's death. well, you never get over death. you simply move on. and he did... but now it was bad again. he missed his mom so badly, he hated his dad. he was beginning to despise school and fencing. starting to hate all of his friends and ladybug. he was just always mad, and snapped easily. but he didn't want to face his problems. it'll pass.
