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.

Living With Agreste by Savaboo

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? (previously #1 in miraculous and miraculousladybug)

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.

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.

Holding On by readersmoon

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. - Cover art credit: kanzen-akai-doll on DeviantArt

"...Before she could make a full on run for it, for a second time he grabbed her wrist and pulled her back into the alleyway.

For those of you who adore the ship adrienette,ladynoir, marichat and ladrien in the tv show "miraculous" I suggest you skip this and start reading! Since most of us are in quarantine we're all gonna be bored right? Well get ready for this 2020-21 miraculous fan fiction because it is gonna be filled with 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞, 𝐅𝐥𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤 and above all a little bit of 𝓢𝓲𝓷! We will be exploring the character development of both Adrien and marinette in this fan fiction. Marinette isn't as nervy as she has grown and matured over the years. Adrien is more like chatnoir around the people he loves and cares about, which is nice, because we never fully appreciate the fact Adrien has to put on this perfect persona to the public - whilst when he's chatnoir he can be his real self. Anyways start reading i promise you it's worth it!

This is preferably for 13+ I did warn you!

Behind My Smile - EDITING SOON by Miraculous_Witch

Adrien Agreste could usually pretend he was fine. He'd never faltered from his regimen of fake smiles since childhood. At twenty-six years old he was an accomplished model with nearly a million to his name. Some would look at him and swoon: a perfect man with a perfect life. What they failed to see were the heartache and the trauma. As Adrien, he couldn't be anything less than perfect. Everything he did was monitored, everything he did was rehearsed. He was a pawn in his father's game, which came with all the perks of abuse and depression. But as Chat Noir, he could be himself. He could be goofy and silly without being chastised. He could cry without being tormented. But when his lives bleed together, his pain becomes too much. "M-make sure you g-get a better partner this time... little bug."

My Fault | A Miraculous Ladybug Fanfiction by youreverydayladybug

It's been one year since the day master fu gave Marinette and Adrien the honors of being miraculous holders, but the effects of special day might just be the cause of their fate. And the fate of Paris along with them............. ~ An unforgettable story of new lovers, forgotten memories, and unavoidable akumas. Nothing causes more physical and emotional pain then having your one true love is turned against you. Will Adrien and Marinette manage to get through it all and finally be happy? • • This comic should be okay for ages about 10+, there is quite a bit of violence, some abuse, fighting, a bit of kissing, and it gets pretty sad. Judge yourself if you think it will be appropriate for you, nothing really severe i didn't think. There's no profanity or sexual references included. • • I don't own miraculous Ladybug all copyrights to original owners. • • Check out my other fanfictions "It Can't Be True," and "The Choice I've Made." As well as my Instagram @youreverydayladybug for more updates! Happy reading and stay miraculous!❤ ~Elise, your everyday ladybug💕🐞
