"Adrien?" A small voice speaks up at the site of familiar blonde hair, only pushed back. He turns around to see a short ravenette with a hesitant expression on her face.

"Marinette?" He replies, taking a step toward her as if in disbelief that his school friend is actually stood right in front of him. He takes notice of how her hair is much longer, and not sported by her signature twintails. Instead, the fronts of her hair are pinned back by ladybug clips. Adrien can't help but find it adorable.

"It's really you." Marinette breathes the words, happiness growing within her as she takes in his model face. If only he were still a model, Marinette's thoughts wander.

"It's really me." Adrien smiles, admiring the designers dress, knowing that she herself would've made it for this specific event. He loved that about her - her determination. It reminded him of His Lady. Oddly enough.

His eyes linger on the ladybug hair clips probably a moment too long before the pair hear a loud voice through the speakers, recognising it as Nino. The pair look towards the front of the hall they were occupying to see the aged-up DJ actually DJing the event like the dork he is.

one moment can change everything. one day, one pair of earrings, one choice that led to countless sleepless nights, to risking everything each day, all for the chance to save a world she never thought she'd be part of. marinette dupain-cheng, a fashion student simply trying to survive, finds herself balancing a life she never expected-one where she's ladybug, a hero side by side with chat noir. and it wasn't any different for him. one ring, one decision, and suddenly, everything shifted-freedom, self-discovery, a chance to love in ways he never thought possible. adrien agreste, a model who had never known school, never known friendship, finds himself as chat noir, standing alongside ladybug, united by the weight of a responsibility neither of them could have foreseen. ᓚ₍ ^. .^₎ ───── as a child, i was absolutely obsessed with miraculous ladybug. i had a youtube channel dedicated to it, tikki plushies everywhere, and watched the show nonstop. now, as a nursing student, miraculous is still close to my heart, especially since it's still airing new episodes. but as i've grown, i've started to see the show through a different lens and realized that what i truly want is a darker, more mature version-one with older characters, real character development, and some deep plot twists. in this rewrite, i aim to fix the things that never quite sat right with me, like marinette's stalker-ish tendencies, chloe's redemption arc that never really went through, and chat noir being stuck in the role of the sidekick. instead, i'll take you through a reimagined miraculous where the plot takes different turns, characters face real consequences, and we take a deeper dive. it's all rather slowburn, including the romance. have fun reading. / almost daily chapters ᓚ₍ ^. .^₎ ──── Copyright © lacywritings 2025.

*none of the picture used are mine* "I've... well, I've been seeing someone," Chat admitted, his cheeks flushing slightly. "It's been strange because for so long, I thought I was in love with you." Ladybug paused, caught off guard. She leaned in. "Oh? Who's the lucky person?" Chat scratched his head, flustered. "I don't want to say too much, but she's amazing-funny, kind, talented, and real. I can be myself around her." Ladybug smiled, her heart warming. "That sounds wonderful, Chat. I'm glad you've found someone like that." Chat grinned, a bit sheepish. "It was unexpected. I had these strong feelings for you for so long, but now I realize it was more admiration." Ladybug's heart skipped a beat. Chat had been infatuated with her, but she had never been able to return his feelings. "That's a good realization, Chat," Ladybug said gently. "I know what it's like to think you're in love, only to realize maybe it wasn't." Chat's eyes brightened. "Wait, are you... seeing someone too?" Ladybug nodded. "Yes. I've been spending time with someone. He's thoughtful, always makes me smile. I think I'm falling for him." Chat's eyes widened in surprise, but he smiled genuinely. "That's amazing, m'lady! You deserve that." "Thanks, Chat." Ladybug smiled. "I think we've both grown, realizing we needed to open up to others, to find happiness beyond our masks." He nodded. "For the longest time, I thought being in love with you was my only option, but now, she makes me feel something I didn't know I could. I think I'm falling in love with her." Ladybug said softly, "She's lucky to have you. I'm happy for you, Chat." Chat flashed a grin. "Thanks, m'lady. But you haven't told me much about your guy. Is he as amazing as you?" Ladybug laughed. "He's great. We've known each other for a while. We used to be friends, but over time, I started seeing him differently." Chat's eyes gleamed. "A longtime friend, huh? That's interesting. How did you two start going out?"

MIRACULOUS SIMPLY THE BEST UP TO THE- okay I'll stop. But I love this show, and I wanna write my OWN one-shot book! SQUEALS! Enjoy the ride of Adrienette, MariChat, LadyNoir and Ladrien (maybe not so much because I don't like that corner of the love square) maybe even some DJWifi (NinoxAlya) (who DOESN'T ship these two?!) and perhaps some friend moments (Mari and Alya or Adrien and Nino) this was originally published in 2016, finished in 2017 and is being edited in 2018 and probably in 2019. there will be comments at the end of edited chapters prefaced by [caitlyn of 2018] or just [2018] - these are comments i make about my work as i finish editing them. warning - many of the early ones have an intense Twelvie Vibe. as well as many late ones. i was such a twelvie christ DISCLAIMER: I do not own Miraculous Ladybug, the characters or anything really apart from the story ideas themselves, and even then they're sometimes formed off other people's ideas. Credit for the cover art goes to whoever did it, it's cute AF. Credit for all art used to the artist - this includes songs, stories, and fanart.
