back when i was a hero. tales of ladybug & chat noir.
one moment can change everything.
one day, one pair of earrings, one choice that led to countless sleepless nights, to risking everything each day, all for the chance to save a world she never thought she'd be part of.
marinette dupain-cheng, a fashion student simply trying to survive, finds herself balancing a life she never expected-one where she's ladybug, a hero side by side with chat noir.
and it wasn't any different for him.
one ring, one decision, and suddenly, everything shifted-freedom, self-discovery, a chance to love in ways he never thought possible.
adrien agreste, a model who had never known school, never known friendship, finds himself as chat noir, standing alongside ladybug, united by the weight of a responsibility neither of them could have foreseen.

as a child, i was absolutely obsessed with miraculous ladybug. i had a youtube channel dedicated to it, tikki plushies everywhere, and watched the show nonstop. now, as a nursing student, miraculous is still close to my heart, especially since it's still airing new episodes. but as i've grown, i've started to see the show through a different lens and realized that what i truly want is a darker, more mature version-one with older characters, real character development, and some deep plot twists.
in this rewrite, i aim to fix the things that never quite sat right with me, like marinette's stalker-ish tendencies, chloe's redemption arc that never really went through, and chat noir being stuck in the role of the sidekick. instead, i'll take you through a reimagined miraculous where the plot takes different turns, characters face real consequences, and we take a deeper dive. it's all rather slowburn, including the romance.
have fun reading. / almost daily chapters
