Adrien was twenty years old when he first became Chat Noir and met Ladybug. Four years later, amidst the toughest time of his college career, he meets Marinette Dupain-Cheng.A College/Reverse Crush AU exploring what would happen if Marinette was four years younger than Adrien, how that would change the nature of their superhero partnership, and how one chance meeting can spark an affair that causes a long-dormant battle of duty vs desire to reignite.

Marinette is thrilled. She's spending her afternoon at the museum with Adrien, and even Manon's unexpectedly tagging along with them can't tarnish her happiness. After all, what can go wrong for two seventeen-year-olds watching over a seven-year-old? Turns out, a lot of things.(collab writer/artist fanfic)

Adrien is excited to reveal his true identity, while Marinette is terrified. But Master Fu says they can't afford to be distant any longer. Chat Noir and Ladybug are meant to work in tandem both in and out of uniform, their strength stemming from the bond created between them. Yet, teenagers are sometimes better at dancing blind than running with wide open eyes, even with the steps laid out before them. Steps in the path of an expanding world. Apart, they'll flounder. But together, they might just stand a chance. Takes place following season 1. PART ONE COMPLETEChapters 1 - 10Word Count: 122,141 PART TWO COMPLETEChapters 11 - 22Word Count: 172,956

Marinette notices that, sometimes, Adrien acts a little out of the ordinary--like the time he stood in a cardboard box for no reason, or when he actually hissed at Nino. It's only when she starts to notice the similarities between Adrien and a certain feline that she begins to get suspicious. Basically, Adrien acts like a cat when he probably shouldn't.

When a freak accident sends Marinette into critical condition, the only thing she can think about is Chat Noir. She wasn't going to make it and someone had to tell him. Otherwise, he'd never know what had happened to her--why his lady had never returned. And, as it just so happens, Adrien is there with her near the end, so she decides that he can take the message to Chat just as well as anyone. No character death, I promise.

“Ladybug… I… What choice do I have? Hawkmoth, he’s ruthless and determined. And he’s… he’s not just my boss. He’s family. If I defied him, what would I do? Where would I go? He’d take my miraculous away if I even tried. I don’t have a choice.”

"Because Chat Noir is dating Marinette." Or in which Lila lies, Adrien panics, and Marinette gets stuck being Chat Noir's fake girlfriend. [based on agrestenoir’s fake dating idea]

Marinette was running on zero sleep, empty cans of energy drinks, and sheer dwindling will power when she came to class. Tikki had warned her that being Ladybug would take up most of her time, but Marinette refused to let her grade drop because of it. Which led to staying up all night to finish homework, and half awake encounters with her classmates. Really who could blame her for sleepily responding to a voice that was oh so similar to her kitty cat?

Marinette has a very distinctive hickey and it seems like the universe is out to get her.

Adrien hadn't planned on kissing Marinette. He certainly hadn't planned on doing it more than once. He DEFINITELY didn't plan on doing it repeatedly while hiding behind the comfortable anonymity of his alter ego. But some habits are very hard to break, especially when the more times you do something, the less you want to stop. (This is just indulgent Romantic fluff. And kissing. Lots and Lots of kissing. I am such trash I can't even be sorry.)

There is so much more about Marinette than he usually sees, and Adrien is beggining to want to know even more.

In which Marinette opens an online store, Adrien is hormonal, and Alya is bae.

After Marinette is forced to reveal her secret identity to Adrien during an akuma attack, the pair realizes that they may have a lot more in common than they initially thought.

“Chat Noir, you and Ladybug are in danger of losing your miraculous and I’m afraid to inform you this, but… it is your fault.” Master Fu announced gravely. A story In which an oblivious Adrien is given a nearly impossible task and has to fix a problem that he didn't even know that he kind of started. The angst is high and It gets rough people! Marinette is stressed out, Ladybug is attracting akumas, the kwami are sick, Chloe and Kagami are kinda cool and Lila is an evil 😈 (enter colorful metaphor here). As Edmund Burke says, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”This story is an example of when the good guys did nothing 😒... initially anyway. 😀 This story is now complete.

“I know he said never to take you back,” Plagg mutters. “But he’d change his tune if he knew.” He looks Adrien straight in the eye and, more serious than Adrien’s ever seen him before, says, “There’s someone you gotta meet. He’s been looking for that book for ages.” How differently might the events of season 2 have gone if Adrien had also known of Master Fu from the start?

When Chat Noir finds out Ladybug's real identity as Marinette, he also discovers her huge crush for Adrien. As a gentleman he is Chat Noir offers to be a wingman between Marinette and Adrien, trying to get them together.

As per tradition, Prince Adrien must choose a bride for his twentieth birthday. Marinette is no Lady, but when the Lady she serves decides she doesn’t want to take her place in the group of potential brides for the prince, Marinette must adapt to pretending to be a lady. And most importantly, she must not be caught.

Marinette and Chat have become close friends over the years. Marinette wants to surprise Chat with a macaron shaped pillow as a gift, and decides to slip some catnip inside to see if Chat will notice. Chat definitely notices, and Marinette needs to handle the consequences.

"I'll be fine, Alya. It's only a couple blocks." "But it's ten at night, it's not safe. Especially with that Chat Noir prowling around."

Chat Noir finds Marinette sobbing on her balcony one night, very clearly upset. Concerned about his friend's well-being, he goes out of his way on both sides of his mask to try and put a smile back on her lips. As they both learn to know each other better, they unveil secrets and newfound feelings. Will their unexpected blooming friendship be without consequences?
