Stars Around Our Scars

When Marinette and Adrien turn sixteen, they begin to feel pain that doesn't belong to them.

Cuts appear without warning. Bruises bloom and vanish too quickly. Exhaustion settles where it shouldn't, lingering long after battles are victorious and masks are put away. At first, it's easy to dismiss. Living in a city rooted in magic had always come with its share of consequences.

But patterns start to form, and some of them are hard to ignore.

Whispers of an ancient soulmate phenomenon resurface--one that ties two people together through pain before love, endurance before comfort. What begins as confusion lingers, deepens, and quietly becomes something far more dangerous.

Love, they learn, is not the absence of scars.

It's the choice to place stars around them. And live with what they cost.

Takes place after Kuro Neko, before the Season 4 finale.
