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.

"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?

"...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. This time pinning her against the wall, her hands placed above her head and their faces inches apart." Love. Hate. Heartache. Fluff. Sin. ~ all are qualities which make up this fan fic good luck ;) Writer ~ @ladynoirfanpage on insta Cover artist ~ @daddyofthebirdarmy on Instagram Main Sketcher/artist ~ @whiisteria on insta 'Closed in' a fan fiction inspired by the Tv Show 'miraculous'. 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! (❗️NOTE❗️ all art included in this fan fiction will most likely not belong to me I wanted to use it to make my story more interesting and give you more of a vision of my story for my readers,, if you want me to remove your fanart please please please message me and I will remove it, because I understand the misconceptions and people not fully appreciating your work from other posts !) This is preferably for 13+ I did warn you!

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)
