Miraculous Ladybug Crack AU: Maribot
Like the thing I wrote yesterday, this was based off a post from @terrible-miraculous-ladybug-aus
Like that post said, in this AU, Marinette is turned into a robotic version of herself thanks to an Akuma, which isn’t undone after the battle.
After some initial panicking, Marinette starts to get used to the idea of her new life.
Instead of eating or sleeping, all Marinette needs to do is to plug herself into an electrical outlet to recharge her batteries. She found out she had to do this after shutting down when she was low on power for the first time.
She actually loves the idea of not needing to sleep, as it gives her more time to work on schoolwork and other fashion commissions
Her new form has some downsides though.
She still can’t eat, which sucks since she lives in a bakery.
Being made of metal, she can’t swim either, and she can’t go out in the rain without the risk of rusting.
Max is naturally interested in what happened to Marinette, and Markov is excited to meet another robot like himself.
Aeon also visits Paris to learn more about Marinette’s new body, wondering if it’s similar to how she was built.
As a hero, Ladybug starts going by the name Robobug. Nobody ever draws a connection between her and Marinette, despite the obvious factor.
