Summary
Change is a scary thing, especially when it feels like nothing has stayed the same.
It's been a year since Marinette became the Guardian of the Miracle Box - a year of struggling beneath a burden she never asked for, a weight that has her leaning on her partner more and more as the hours fly by, of letting him come to her, too, when he needs a soft place to land. A year of falling for the boy who takes on the world by her side with a smile made of sunlight, and fighting the growing urge to tell him what he means to her.
After all, they'll have time enough for that when Paris is safe.
But when the unthinkable happens, Marinette learns the tragedy of loving someone quietly, and the lines she'll cross to save him.

God i love it when people will do literally anything (incluso completely insane things) to save someone. This story makes me appreciate the s6 Marinette/Gabe parallels even more

This is... much more enthralling than the summary gives it credit for. I guess maybe i just really felt Adrien's guilt, and Marinette's fear, but the characterization is so good.

Summary
After Ladybug dies in battle, it falls to Chat Noir to put aside his own grief and devastation to deliver her last good-byes and wishes to her family and closest friends. He never expected his civilian self to rank among them. He definitely wasn't prepared for the double loss of two of the most important people in his life.
One sided Identity Reveal after death. Lots of angst, grieving, and healing.

Summary
Chloé has never been a fan of Ms. Bustier’s community building activities. In fact, she detests them. She doesn’t want to learn about the drab boring lives of her peers. And she absolutely can’t stand it when their confessions make her feel things. Feelings that she doesn’t even have names for. But when Adrien unknowingly shares his struggles with his double life, Chloé vows she will do anything to get Ladybug to set things right. Even if it means pissing off the heroine. Chloé was already mad at her anyway.

Summary
With the zip of her yo-yo, Ladybug was gone.
Adrien was alone. His stomach dropped like an avalanche, and his whole body crumpled like tissue paper. The cry that tore past his lips didn’t sound human. He didn’t have words for the maelstrom of grief that overtook him.
Solid arms wrapped around him and pulled Adrien into an armored chest.
“Wayzz, shell off.”
“N-Nino?” Adrien sobbed, melting into his friend’s comforting presence.
“Hey, Kit-Kat.”
Adrien shoved himself back into Nino's arms and just cried.
“She left, Nino. She left. I knew that she would, but I hoped… I hoped I would be… enough.”
“I know, man. I know. I’m here. Her decision had nothing to do with you. You’re more than enough. I’m not going anywhere.”
“Promise?”
“Promise.”
“You’re going to be the Guardian. That might be a promise you can’t keep.”
“Adrien, look at me.”
Adrien had always seen the depths of the ocean in Ladybug’s eyes. But Nino’s golden gaze held the warmth of the sun.
“I’m not going anywhere. Not ever.”
…
Maybe the person you need is not the one you’ve had your eye on, but the one who’s been right behind you supporting you the whole time.

Bookmarker's Notes
The arc of Marinette being overwhelmed and broken by trying to commit to all the deceit and isolation of the guardianship and giving it up is so, SO beautiful. The buildup and scene of her forgetting is devastating in the best of ways. You've convinced me that's the absolute best thing can could be done with her character if they wanted a bittersweet but meaningful conclusion to the show.

Summary
“You didn’t have to do all this,” Chat Noir said, feeling more than a bit guilty.
Marinette waved away his objection. “I just want you to feel at home, kitty.”
How was it that he felt more at home in Marinette’s room that he had only been in a handful of times than he ever had at the mansion?
He wanted this. He wanted this all the time as Adrien.
Plagg didn’t understand. Adrien wanted to be able to go to school, hang out after class, have sleepovers and movie nights with Nino, video game tournaments with Marinette, and to make his own decisions for himself.
He didn’t want to erase Adrien, he wanted to actually get to be Adrien.
...
Or the fic where Adrien erases everyone's memory of him so he can get away from his father and live his own life.

Summary
Marinette had smiled so brightly when they split the one remaining pistachio flavored macaron.
And Alya found herself beaming back.
This girl needed someone. And Alya maybe wanted to be needed.
It was a new feeling for her, but she liked it.
And Marinette was unlike anyone Alya had ever met before.
Her thoughts were all over the place - jumping from topic to topic like a small child collecting shiny shells on a beach. It didn’t matter if most of them were broken, Marinette would turn them into something amazing - something beautiful or useful, or both!
She was also as flighty as a pigeon and she needed Alya to yank her back to the ground on occasion.
But more than anything, Marinette cared so much about what was right and what was good, she just cared so much about everything.
The same way Alya did.
The way that no one else ever had.
Alya would do anything for Marinette.

Summary
“His kwami knows who he is right?"
“They all do! But they can’t tell anyone!”
Alya looked over at Tikki who nodded in confirmation.
“Can they give hints?”
Tikki shook her head.
“It doesn’t matter, Alya! I can’t know who he is either!”
“But what if you weren’t the one to know?”
Marinette froze and pulled away. “What?”
Alya met her gaze, stroking the sides of her face. “What if I knew Chat’s identity? It keeps you from knowing each other but helps us coordinate. We could include him in the planning! I could help support him like I do for you!”
Marinette nodded. “I… I can’t know all the details. But yes, anything, please! But you have to never slip, Alya. You can’t tell me who he is. You can’t hint! You may have to lie to me to protect him!”
“I understand.” Alya said, smiling.
This could work.

Summary
Chat Noir enlists Rena Rouge's help to create an Aspik illusion. Absolutely nothing goes wrong.
Ladybug smiles. “I wanted to drop by and welcome Aspik. I know it must be a little intimidating, being surrounded by so many veteran heroes…so, welcome! We’re glad to have you on board.”
“I look like an egg!” Aspik announces, T-posing.
Chat turns to Rena, feeling like he has been punched in the solar plexus. What the hell? he mouths.
Rena grimaces, her eyes wide with panic. Stomach sinking, Chat remembers one of the first things he learned about the Fox Miraculous: that if Rena Rouge isn’t focused, her illusions go haywire.
Oh, no.

Ladybug has a plan—whether it’s a good plan is debatable. But that’s never stopped Chat Noir from being a faithful partner. Unfortunately, this time, it means spending the night in a supermarket hidden inside a toilet paper fortress—all because Ladybug is convinced that some poor part-time employee is the new butterfly holder.

Summary
Chat’s ears perk up when he passes the alleyway. The soft mewling makes his ears twitch. He glances around before ducking into the alley, ears leading him to the back corner. Curled up on top of a pile of old newspapers and boxes is a kitten. A tiny kitten that he could probably hold in his hands. The kitten is too dirty to tell what color its fur actually is, but it opens it’s eyes to stare at Chat.
They’re almost the bluest eyes he’s ever seen.
