Miraculous (the whole world against us remix) by felledstar
Marinette punched in the digits 15 and hit the call button.
âMarinette?â Tikkiâs voice sounded so tiny. âMarinette why is Plaggââ
Marinette made herself ignore Tikki and respond to the operator with a level voice. âThereâs been an accident.â She made herself look at the street sign. She rattled off the street name calmly. âI donât know what happenedââ she couldnât say Ladybug had fucked up her aim and yanked a person right off a roof, she couldnât, secrecy was important for the kwami even if Marinette wasnât going to be Ladybug again after this, not with what sheâd done, âbut thereâs a boy lying injured in the street. His leg is bleeding heavily and he doesnât seem to be conscious.â
âIâll send an ambulance,â the person on the other end said after a short pause. âWhat else can youââ
Marinette ended the call. There wasnât anything else she could tell them.
(Or, the one where everything does not go according to Wang Fuâs plan, Hawkmoth decides to use the Butterfly to its full potential after all, and Parisâ local superheroes are still a bit of a mess.)
[A canon divergence AU beginning in Origins.]
Miraculous side effects! Miraculous side effects! Miraculous side effects! Hell yeah, newest chapter starts in on one of my favorite tropes! Alright, Iâve recâd this fic before but refresher. Iâd call this a the Marinetteâs anxiety is turned up to 11 at all times fic. She just continually does not have a good time. Itâs told entirely from Marinetteâs perspective and thus lends itself a bit to the unreliable narrator as she tunnel visions on her perspective and explanation for things and is very good at convincing herself of how things are but you can also see glimpses of that maybe not always being the full truth. She also has a lot of doubt and self hatred in this that from the outside really isnât earned but sheâs so caught up in her own head (and is an anxiety riddled teen) that she has a very hard time seeing that.
Warnings: there is graphic body horror and death in this one, I shrieked a little when listening to the Reflecta chapter (like oh my god it gets bloody), the akuma are more like horror monsters in this one (basically Marinette is actively traumatized every fight).
