Happily Ever After Is a Zero-Sum Game by MiaBrown for Khanofallorcs
Fandoms: Miraculous Ladybug
20 Feb 2024
Tags
Summary
Marinette Dupain-Cheng was done with rockstars, and Christmas, and neat and narrow fairy tales. If her fiancé— If her ex-fiancé decided he’d be much happier in a town at the end of the world with Kagami Tsurugi, Marinette was fine with that. She’d play the ‘bad guy’ in their Hallmark-movie happily ever after, no problem.
If only she wasn’t stuck in a snowstorm with Kagami’s ex…

Summary
One thing you need to understand about Marinette and Adrien Dupain-Cheng is that they are not and have never been, what the kids call, "lowkey".

Summary
Adrien just wanted to impress Marinette, one of the exchange students from the French wizarding school, Beauxbatons. That’s the only reason he entered his name to be a champion in the Triwizard Tournament.
Who thought that wouldn’t impress his crush—turned long forgotten childhood friend—turned girlfriend? And who thought that he’d get chosen anyway, starting his life-changing magical journey?
Certainly not Adrien. But at least, he doesn’t have to fight dragons on his own.

Summary
Marinette knew that moving together with Adrien would have its own challenges, but she never anticipated that they would be having their first serious argument as a couple in the first week. Over a cardinal question of their living situation, no less.
She has her own reasons, of course, but she just can’t fathom Adrien’s motive for fighting tooth and nail against her on this issue of utmost importance. Nevertheless, she is more than confident in her stance, and willing to defend it until her last breath.
Whatever it takes, the fairy lights. Have. To. Go.

Summary
The life of Paris’ Golden Boy is all shine and glamour; blindingly bright smiles, neverending parties, bargaining for just a shard of time for being happy. But that’s alright; Adrien has long given up the false hope that someone will get it.
That is precisely why it’s a spectacle when she does, when she barges in like a hurricane in crimson and turns his life upside down. Heaven knows, it’s time for the wind of change.

Summary
Ladybug's final mission should have gone smoothly. Quick and painless, as a professional of her scale always works. After all, there should be nothing special about the crown prince she has to kidnap.
Now, if only he would quit hitting on his hitman.

Summary
For all intents and purposes, everyone would be better off if they minded their own business instead of trying to pry into the private life of public figures. For god’s sake, Ladybug’s the Protector of Paris, not some celebrity sensation on the gossip column. Still, some people will occasionally pop the insensitive question, and at times like that, she has to repeat the age-old lie: No, she does not have a soulmate.
Ladybug finds it infuriating.
Adrien finds it hilarious.

The Art of Giving Your Best Friend Platonic Hickeys by MiaBrown for maketea, Missnoodles
Fandoms: Miraculous Ladybug
16 May 2022
Tags
Summary
"So, I've read this Tumblr post," Marinette said.
Now, at this point in time anyone with the tiniest bit of common sense would have cocked a skeptical eyebrow and backed away from this conversation as fast as their neurotypical legs would carry them.
Chat Noir — against all expectations — peered an eye open. "What did it say?"
"It said, and I wholeheartedly agree, that it's okay to have a little crush on your friends.”

Summary
Adrien and Ladybug didn't mean to find themselves in a hotel room, together.
But, well.
Sometimes even the golden saviours of Paris deserve to be a little selfish.

Summary
Adrien is sleep deprived. And touch starved. And lovesick. Coincidentally, napping in Ladybug’s arms cures all that.
But what cures the complete and utter meltdown it causes when your partner thanks you for sleeping with her?

Summary
“Dating you, platonically, and moving in with you, platonically, that’s definitely optimal! No problem at all!” Chat Noir said to Ladybug, and realistically, it should have been true. He was having a crush on Marinette for the longest time.

Summary
Chat Noir is more than happy to accompany Marinette to Fashion Week as her plus one. The thing is just, this setting isn’t a natural habitat for Chat Noir.
Consequently, he might have an interesting understanding of the do’s and don’ts.

Summary
Alya once read that you should invite random celebrities to your wedding — with the more than likely assumption that they won’t attend, only send you a card and an overpriced coffee machine.
Luckily, the chances of Hawkmoth’s son reading his mail and showing up to the event are microscopic. Marinette will be busy enough trying to get to know the boy behind Chat Noir’s mask — if he does decide to come — she doesn’t need to worry about being able to look Adrien Agreste in the eyes.

Summary
Marinette and Adrien are friends. Good friends, in fact. The best friends you can be after spending several years apart when identity reveals, your supervillain father, and moving abroad happens.
And best friends help each other out, even when the mission one of them sets her mind on is questionable at best. But Marinette certainly has her reasons why she needs all the mistletoe decorations from Alya and Nino’s Christmas party gone.

anything you say will be held against you by MiaBrown for cakemousse
Fandoms: Miraculous Ladybug
07 Sep 2021

Summary
Marinette had been having fun at Yale's first-year formal last night. Then she had been having more fun, then arguably too much fun. Which was why she was freezing to death now, standing in her dorm's lobby in nothing but a bath towel. Suffice to say, right now she was having no fun at all.
"If only other people didn't look like they came from a Vogue cover shooting at five in the morning. Seriously, fuck me," she grumbled to herself in French.
What were the chances the blond guy understood it?

scheming is the most fun a guy can have without getting eaten by a dragon by MiaBrown
Fandoms: Miraculous Ladybug

Tags
Summary
Adrien knew what he had to do if he wanted to impress Marinette, one of the exchange students from the French wizarding school, Beauxbatons. He just needed to enter the — sometimes deadly — Triwizard Tournament.
Girls were impressed by that sort of thing, right?

Tags
Summary
Chat Noir’s plan of asking out his classmate, only so the girl could turn him down and offer to be ‘just friends’ instead was ridiculous. Too bad there wasn’t a sensible girl who would have rejected him.
Ladybug was so sure of this, she dared to bet on it. And when the next day Adrien Agreste asked the same question from Marinette… Well, she wasn’t trying to prove herself wrong.

aka Plagg schemes, Adrien panics, and Marinette is being a little shit about it -
Tags
Summary
Adrien was pretty confident in his plan. He really wanted to be Marinette's friend, and he knew exactly how to accomplish that. He just had to ask her to be his girlfriend. According to Plagg, girls answered that question in 90% of the cases with "Let's just be friends instead!"
It was basically a foolproof method.

Summary
Alya has always considered herself a ride or die Adrienette stan. But when the boy only started to bombard Marinette with soft looks after he started to date none other than Ladybug… Well, Alya would recognize a two-timer if she ever saw one.
Luckily though, Ladybug was very much capable of taking the matter into her own hands.
