    Disrespectfully Yours, Marinette Dupain-Cheng by

    Summary

    Marinette Dupain-Cheng is top of the class. Straight A's, perfect attendance, and editor-in-chief of her university's premiere fashion magazine.
    Or... she would be top of the class, if it weren't for her academic rival Adrien Agreste.
    They've been competing for everything since their freshman year of college. If Marinette gets a 99, he gets a 100. If she gets an internship, he gets a better one.
    Now in their senior year of college, they're ready to fight it out one more time to win student journalist of the year — and the scholarship that comes with it. But when a semester-long project forces them to team up, everything changes.
    If they want to remain in consideration for the award, they'll have to figure out how to work together. Because in the cutthroat world of academia — and journalism — failure is not an option.

    Summary

    At twenty-two-years-old, Marinette and Adrien's lives are going well, especially now that the—as Adrien likes to put it—cat is out of the bag. Despite the occasional akuma attack and over-powered super villain, they wouldn't trade anything for what they have.

    But when an akuma jumps forward in time and pulls their younger-selves along with her, the couple soon have their hands full trying to prevent the Ladybug and Chat Noir of the past from learning anything that might completely destroy their happy future. As with any situation involving their secret identities, Adrien and Marinette have things completely under—wait. Scratch that. It is NOT going well.

    Summary

    All of Paris watched as Hawkmoth murdered Chat Noir, taking the Black Cat Miraculous for himself. Ladybug swears revenge, but her enemy—and every Miraculous in his possession—disappear without a trace.

    Six years later, a new team of villains launches an attack: Volpina, armed with new powers; Queen Bee, with questionable loyalty; Argos, the new holder of the Peacock Miraculous; and Cat Walker, who Ladybug hates the most.

    Takes place after S4 - Strike Back.

    Summary

    University has been hard on Marinette. Making new friends and maintaining her grades is a lot easier said than done when she has to disappear at odd times to fight akumas. She's struggling, and with Alya away with family and Adrien painfully out of reach, she's never felt lonelier.

    If only she could talk to someone who really understood her struggles... but it's not like Chat Noir would know anything about loneliness. Right?

    Summary

    (1:14 pm) So you never told me how you planned to make Gabriel Agreste cry. 
    (1:20 pm) Oh my god, how drunk was I last night?!
    (1:22 pm) They live.
    (1:23 pm) Barely.
    (1:24 pm) How do I know you again?
    (1:24 pm) I don’t think you do? I’m Wrong Number. You were texting me your New Year’s Resolution earlier.
    (1:25 pm) …I’m too hungover to deal with this right now.
    (1:26 pm) Well who’s fault is that?
    (1:40 pm) …Hello?
    (2:01 pm) Well this was fun.

    (Marinette sends a text to the wrong number, and things progress from there until it becomes the right one.)
