A companion piece in Marinette's POV will be out, well let's just say, very soon. 😉 Link to Adrien's side of the story below if you'd like to get caught up!

JUST LOOK AT THIS DRAMATIC CHANGE! ASFAGDHHSAHAGAHJ

Good time to be alive

Seven years

(I posted this a few days ago, but I am reposting because when I originally did it was attached to a reblog of this post by me and not many people saw it.)

I’ve combined my three mlb au posts into one with some editing done to them.

I've been thinking about if I should write this au, draw it, or do some of both.

Sorry that this is a bit of a mess.

Okay, so this is a miraculous ladybug au. Now marinette’s parents died when she was younger, so she was put in her grandma’s care. Now we all know that Marinette's nona travels a lot so I imagine that even after she gets marinette she still continues traveling and takes marinette with her. So Marinette doesn’t really have any friends and she wasn't bullied by Chloe.

She’s multilingual and can speak French, Chinese, Italian, and english somewhat fluently. Since she’s constantly traveling I imagine she would be taught by her nona, so there won’t be too much of a language barrier at some of the places they travel to.

Marinette still wants to be a fashion designer.

She’s not as pushover and can be kinda of direct.

She doesn’t get the ladybug miraculous, because she joins the class after master fu gives the black cat and ladybug miraculous out.

So I imagine since she never stayed in the same place for very long she doesn’t really know how to make and retain a friendship. She also speaks more formally than other people because she isn’t used to using French as much and has a hard time with lingo.

Now since Adrien is also not the best at socializing and is rather dense, they have very awkward conversations, and until he finds out she likes fashion design they have a hard time holding a conversation.

Marinette makes gifts for her friends randomly.

So in this au Alya would probably get the ladybug au.

I imagine Master Fu at first just gave Adrien the black cat miraculous and only decided to give someone the ladybug miraculous after seeing that Adrien wasn’t doing too well on his own.

Fu gives Alya the ladybug miraculous after seeing Alya run after the akuma to film it.

Adrien still gets the black cat ring, but doesn’t have a crush on this ladybug. 

I’m trying to think of a name for Alya.

Dame Bug, because Dame means lady in french

Rouge Bug, because Rouge means red in french

Coccinelle is french for ladybug/ladybird

(For those of you who are familiar with it, this is a companion piece to my previously posted Reverse fic, 'A New Beginning', which was written from Adrien's POV- the new piece will be Marinette's POV of that same encounter)

UPDATE: the new fic officially has a title ('No End In Sight') and is in beta as we speak. Hoping to be able to post later today or tomorrow.

See below for a sneak peek! 😊

Letting the front door slam shut behind her, Marinette stalked quickly through the bakery, her hands wrapped tightly around her elbows to control the shaking and trying desperately to keep tears from spilling. How could he say things like that? Her mind was buzzing frantically, replaying Adrien's words on a loop. Replaying the gentle touch of his fingers. Her own hand was still burning.

She ignored her father's concerned "Marinette?" as she made her way through the bakery kitchen, taking the stairs up to the apartment two at a time. It didn't matter if she was still technically supposed to be watching the front counter; there was absolutely no way she could stay down there, not now. She had to make it to her room. She didn't think she was going to be able to keep it together this time, and she couldn't let anyone see her like this.

The Adrien POV can be found here, if you'd like to check that out in the meantime!
