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.

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! :)

The Other You by ChocoluckChipz

At twenty-five, Marinette Dupain-Cheng's life is suddenly turned upside-down. Her boss is gone, the entire company is going haywire, her whole career's at risk of going up in smokes, and she's confronted with a past she thought was long behind her, the previously clean, straightforward lines defining her non-existent relationship with a former friend who betrayed her in the cruellest of ways getting blurry. She isn't used to failure. Breaking under the pressure is not an option. But can she pull through the insanity she'd landed herself into alone or will she crumble, sending years of sacrifices and hard work down the drain? Please note: This is a collaboration between late Maerynn-blog (Tumblr)/Maerynn (A03) and ChocoluckChipz. The author of each chapter will be noted at the start.
