Love Square Screen Time Records
Hey, everyone! As some of you may know, I've recently completed calculating the exact screen time for all the love square ships for all the episodes we have up until now, including the Miraculous World Specials. Now I've decided to list all the noteworthy moments in love square screen time based on the data I've collected.
We're going to start with doing some general overall records, then we're going to see the noteworthy moments of love square screen time for all the love square ships individually. so let's begin, shall we?
General Records
First episode to include all of the love square ships: Cat Blanc
Tumblr media
Of course it's "Cat Blanc' of all episodes to not only be the first episode to have screen time for all the love square ships, but also the only episode by far to have screen time for all the love square ships. It's already one of the greatest episodes of all time, so why not add some screen time for all the love square ships with it too?
We have the Adrienette dating montage, the battle between Ladybug and Cat Blanc, Adrien saving Marinette from akumatization as Cat Noir and revealing his identity along with it too, and finally Ladybug starting this mess by coming in to deliver her gift to Adrien, allowing him to catch her and piece together her identity.
2. First episode to include none of the love square ships: Representation
Tumblr media
Closely followed by "Conformation" as the second. Who does this episode have to thank for to having this record? Gabriel, of course. Since Gabriel sent his his son to London specifically so that he can't spend time with his girlfriend anymore, this was the result. Adrien and Marinette weren't able to get together again until the end of "Re-Creation".
3. Love square ship with the most screen time in an episode: Adrienette in "Oblivio"
Tumblr media
Not that surprising since a lot of the episode was spent in Adrien and Marinette running from the titular villain and re-learning who they are. It was only towards the end that they were able to figure out how to activate their powers again, thanks to Master Fu, giving Adrienette a total of 9 min 3 sec of screen time in this episode.
Adrienette Records
Episode with the most Adrienette screen time: Oblivio
Tumblr media
Since this episode already has the title for ship with most screen time in an episode, it will obviously also have the the title for episode with with the most Adrienette screen time. No need to repeat what I said earlier.
2. Season with most Adrienette screen time: season 5
Tumblr media
No surprise here. We don't need to know the exact screen time to know that this season was full of Adrienette. First third of the season had a few patches of Adrienette here and there but from "Transmission" onwards we had a continuous stream of Adrienette content up until "Revolution" where Gabriel separated them by sending Adrien to London, after which the only got back together at the end of "Re-Creation".
Even though Adrienette didn't dominate this season like Ladynoir does every season, it still had over a third of the love square screen time and had 45 min 57 sec of screen time this season which a lot more than it usually has.
3. Season with least Adrienette screen time: season 4
Tumblr media
Just like the other love square ships this season, Adrienette took a significant hit, having been reduced to having 12 min 38 sec of screen time as opposed to its usual half hour of screen time per season (roughly). It makes sense though considering that this season is more focused on the plot than past seasons have been and this is supposedly the season of Ladynoir.
4. Miraculous World Special with most Adrienette: New York Special
Tumblr media
Makes sense for this to be the special with the most Adrienette as this special had the plotline of Marinette trying to be nothing more than a friend to Adrien, giving us a total of 7 min 40 sec of Adrienette in this 1-hour special, even surpassing Ladynoir in screen time.
5. First episode Adrienette surpasses Ladynoir in screen time: Gamer
Tumblr media
Yes, this is an actual category since it's usually the norm for Ladynoir to have the most screen time in an episode. Not only was this the first episode where Adrienette surpasses Ladynoir in screen time, it's the first episode where any ship surpasses Ladynoir in screen time, and also the sole episode in season 1 where an episode surpasses Ladynoir in screen time. Adrien and Marinette being partners in the Mecha Strike tournament really did well to increase the Adrienette screen time.
Ladynoir Records
Episode with most Ladynoir screen time: Mayura (Heroes' Day- part 2)
Tumblr media
Kind of an interesting episode to have as the one with the most Ladynoir but OK. This part had the secondary heroes up until now put out of commission by scarlet akumatization in the first few minutes of the episode, leaving Ladynoir to fend for themselves, them against the world just as always.
2. Season with most Ladynoir screen time: season 1
Tumblr media
Of course it's season 1 with the most Ladynoir screen time, with this being the show being at its most formulaic at this time, leading the focus to be more on the usual battle with the akumatized villains than with progressing the plot, gives us a total of 1 hr 53 min 26 sec of screen time that season which is nearly 2 hours.
3. Season with the least Ladynoir screen time: season 4
Tumblr media
Ironically, the supposed Ladynoir season had the least Ladynoir screen time out of all the seasons. Despite it having the most screen time in terms of percentage, it still had the least screen time in terms of actual value, having a total of 59 min 24 sec of screen time this season, which isn't even an entire hour, although it's pretty close. But since this season focused more on the plot progression than any season we had before, it makes sense.
4. Miraculous World Special with most Ladynoir screen time: New York
Tumblr media
Similar to Adrienette, Ladynoir also gets the most screen time it's ever gotten in the New York Special, and just like Adrienette it makes sense given that this special had a lot of focus on their relationship and how Cat Noir broke Ladybug's trust by coming to New York, giving us a total of 6 min 29 sec of screen time.
Maricat Records
Episode with most Maricat screen time: Glaciator 2
Tumblr media
Out of all the designated Maricat episodes, this was the one that got the most screen time for Maricat having a total of 8 min 14 sec of screen time. Makes sense, given that the whole episode was them practicing Marinette being able to confess her love to Adrien and going on a "date". "Elation" would be a worthy contender but as it turns out it didn't have nearly as much screen time as we thought though it was still a fair five and a half minutes.
2. Season with most Maricat screen time: Season 4
Tumblr media
While season 4 had the least amount of screen time for Adrienette and Ladynoir, it had the most amount of screen time for Maricat, although it was only featured in 3 episodes of season 4 and most of the screen time was concentrated in "Sentibubbler" and "Glaciator 2". This gives it a total of 9 min 44 sec.
3. Season with least Maricat screen time: Season 2
Tumblr media
Season 2 had Maricat take a huge hit due to which it became the ship with least screen time in a season for the first time. It only really got to shine a little bit in the designated Maricat episode of the season "Glaciator" and other than that had small moments in "Befana" and "Anansi", leaving it with 4 min 7 sec of screen time in the entire season.
4. First episode Maricat surpasses Ladynoir in screen time: Weredad
Tumblr media
After 2 seasons of Ladynoir taking away their designated episode of the season, Maricat was finally able to surpass Ladynoir in screen time with 3 min 57 sec of screen time. Considering that the episode revolves around Marinette getting herself into the mess of Cat Noir thinking she has feelings for him and the awkward date between them set up by Tom and Ladynoir was only present at the beginning and towards the end of the episode, you can see why.
Ladrien Records
Episode with most Ladrien screen time: Desparada
Tumblr media
The episode where Ladybug entrusts Adrien with the Snake Miraculous gets the title of the episode with the most Ladrien screen time. It's obvious why since a good portion of the episode is Adrien as Aspik trying to woo Ladybug and failing terribly because he's focused more on that rather than defeating the titular villain.
2. Season with most Ladrien screen time: Season 2
Tumblr media
After only having most of its screen time concentrated towards the end of the season aside from "The Bubbler" and "The Mime" in season 1, Ladrien was finally able to get its moment to shine in season 2 with there being several episodes focuses extensively on Ladrien, some even surpassing Ladynoir in screen time, giving it a total of 8 min 46 sec in the entire season which is the most it will ever get as from here on out it, its screen time decreases with ever season.
3. Season with least Ladrien screen time: season 5
Tumblr media
Ladrien already usually gets the short end of the stick in Miraculous due to it's lack of a requirement for any development, so naturally, season 5 ends up being the season with the least Ladrien screen time, with us only getting Ladrien in "Passion" with detransformed Adrien holding a Venomed Ladybug and the small scene in "Deflagration" of Adrien handing Ladybug's Miraculous to her. Hopefully, future seasons will give us more Ladrien, but I doubt it.
4. First episode Ladrien surpasses Ladynoir in screen time: Riposte
Tumblr media
Since season 2 was the first time Ladrien ever got to shine, it also contains the episode where Ladrien surpasses Ladynoir in screen time, that being the first Ladrien-focused episode of the season, "Riposte" involving the titular villain going after Adrien, hence Ladybug having to protect him and Adrien being unable to go off somewhere to transform.
Conclusion
Well, that's it for all the love square screen time records. Let me know what you think about them and feel free to find any other notable records in love square screen time history by checking my work here. Until next time!

Pls don't take this the wrong way I'm not one of the "Adrien is a sexual harasser" salters nor Adrien salter in the first place (you know me), but I think his experience with Ladybug was beneficial to his patience with Marinette because in some episodes like Glaciator 2 and such Ladybug was angry with him asking her to kiss him and later when he saw that it doesn't work he decided to change his method and be more of gentleman.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And in Kuro Neko he saw how much Ladybug likes respectful guys and him realizing that she cares about Chat Noir wasn't the only thing he learned here.
Tumblr media
Ironically, the two episodes that are widely hated were crucial for his character development and not just for his identity crisis but for his later relationship too (which is something I don't see mentioned that much, everyone's only talking about the identity part). And now when he is going out with Marinette, who needs time and time before she feels comfortable with him, he knew what to do and how to behave around her because he learned.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
In Glaciator 2 he could notice that the pressure of public is what angered Ladybug too and now with Marinette he knows that this is most definitely what's upsetting her. And he was right, they were happier alone than with everyone watching (who WOULD be happy with everyone watching?).
Tumblr media
And it also helped Marinette fall for Chat Noir too, remember when she confirmed why she didn't want to give him a chance earlier.
Tumblr media
(Pls don't hate her either for saying this, she was trying real hard to be good enough for Adrien too, they both did but this a story for another time)
Not that Adrien's behaviour was extremely disrespectful earlier but it did anger a person he tried to impress and it took him time but he learned how to improve himself. He wasn't problematic, I don't mean that, but he learned how to be more respectful and when it comes to love you need to respect your crush's boundaries and give them space especially if they request for it. Marinette has shown to love gentlemen since forever. She's a hopeless romantic. And Adrien really worked hard to make himself as good for her as he could. That's truly beautiful.

I don’t think Adrien is super oblivious
Tumblr media
I wrote about Adrien not being oblivious of Marinette’s feelings before, but I think just as a whole, he’s not as oblivious as you may think. Let me break down why.
1. It’s never been some big revelation to him that Marinette is Ladybug - who he likes as more than a friend
Think of all the “what if” episodes: Chat Blanc, Oblivio, and Ephemeral.
Something that happens in all of these episodes is Adrien realizing Marinette is Ladybug and being so happy with them being the same person.
Tumblr media
But notice how it isn’t some huge revelation to him. Like, he figures it out and is pretty much like “that makes sense. No wonder I love you.” He was never like “wow! I would’ve never guessed! I don’t know if I like Marinette like that.”
Those episodes aside, in Heroes’ Day Pt. 2, he accepts Marinette’s kiss and compliments her, calling her “their everyday Ladybug.” And, in Multiplication, he remembers the advice she had given him about confronting his father, and wastes no time calling her and telling her how special she is to him. It’s not even like Adrien told Plagg to shut up or defend himself when he said Adrien would be a fake if he thinks he doesn’t like Marinette romantically.
Tumblr media
Adrien definitely seems well aware that he likes Marinette, but he’s in denial because he’s infatuated with Ladybug. Plus, he says the one time, “besides, there’s Luka.”
He doesn’t know how to juggle having feelings for two “different” girls (he’s never had a crush on anyone prior to), but it’s never been a big shock to him when he figures out they’re the same person and that he loves them both.
2. He won’t open up to his father
Gabriel is abusive…also the sky is blue.
It seems a lot of the time that Adrien isn’t aware of how abusive his father is, and lets him manipulate him. But, I think he’s got some idea of this, honestly. He’s caught onto more in comparison to season one.
The biggest sign was in Glaciator 2. When Gabriel says he’s been distant ever since Emilie’s passing but Adrien can talk to him if he needs to, he’s unfazed by the reason he’s distant, says, “if I needed to, father, I would…” and then walks away.
Tumblr media
Adrien didn’t even want to talk to him, despite him offering. That says a lot right there.
Throughout every season, Gabriel doesn’t even bother to do things like eat dinner with him, take him to the movies, help him practice piano, etc. and it thoroughly disappoints Adrien.
Adrien also admits in Risk that his father is forcing him to be this “perfect” model but all he wants is to be his son. He doesn’t want to be a model. He just wants a good relationship with his father, and it’s a really good thing he realizes that.
The sad thing is that there’s a 99.9% chance not going to improve, considering he just created an AI version of Adrien, which he’ll be able to use to his advantage. Adrien realized something was very fucked up about that after he saw this version of himself.
Tumblr media
3. He never claimed to love Kagami
Okay. So, Adrien definitely had a bit of an attraction to Kagami originally, I’m not saying he didn’t. However, he never openly says he loves her or even tries to woo her like does with Ladybug. Adrien very obviously shows his feelings through his actions and behavior - keep this in mind.
There’s probably Adrien salters who think he lead Kagami on, but the truth of the matter is that he really didn’t. He wanted to try to be with her, but he never admitted having feelings for her and he consistently showed discomfort while they were together.
Tumblr media
Kagami caught onto this and saw the charm from Marinette he’s always carrying. She tried to make the relationship work, but she noticed problems (aside from just him lying to go run off on patrols), and dumped him for that. And Adrien didn’t try to fight her on that, so I feel like he knew he didn’t feel the same way and that the breakup needed to happen.
4. He keeps flirting with Ladybug despite her saying she likes someone else
Okay, okay. I’ve seen this being debated about in the fandom a lot. There’s people who think he’s being too pushy, to a point of assault. But, I don’t really feel that’s the case. Lemme explain.
Ladybug will sometimes flirt with him back. She’s kissed him a number of different times. Similar to him, she’s also in denial of having feelings for him and trying to sort out these romantic feelings she has for Cat Noir.
Cat Noir/Adrien definitely notices this seeing as how much he loves her, which is why he still flirts with her here and there. He sees there might still be a chance for him. Especially seeing how she’s kissed him a number of times, twice that he can’t even remember, he’s going insane trying to figure out how that happened in the first place.
Tumblr media
I think he should cut back, which honestly he has since the first season. If Ladybug directly tells him to stop, he does. It’s just a matter of him thinking she might just feel the same, and the episodes rebooting him flirting and Ladybug having a different reaction every time. (She also doesn’t get super uncomfortable and incredibly mad the way she did when Felix tried to kiss her).
Conclusion
Adrien isn’t completely clueless and oblivious. That’s that.

Do you have any post glaciator 2.0 or buttercup fics recommendations? Thank you for la the recs btw
Ahhh yes, I was absolutely desperate for fic after that ep came out, and there’s definitely some good ones. (I even wrote one of my own!) Sadly, there aren’t as many as I’d like. But here are my favourites.
Doki Doki by @dakotacrisis​
After the events of Glaciator 2.0 a lot of articles come out claiming Marinette as Chat Noir's new flame after being spotted together around Paris. These awkward teens don't know how to handle it.
Multi-chapter. Lots of Marichat in this one as these two try to quell the rumours that keep spreading about them, only to add fuel to the fire. They’re just. So. Stupid. And I love them so much!! This one is just so much fun.
The Courage of Stars by @louderdreams1​
In the days after the events of their second battle with Glaciator, Adrien has come to realize that there are types of friendships he's been missing out on in his daily life. If helping Marinette with plans for 'Buttercup' could earn him that friendship as Chat Noir, then who knows what it could do coming from Adrien Agreste.
It couldn't hurt to try, right?
One-shot. I think this has to be one of my absolute favourite Glaciator 2 fics. Adrien just wants to be close to Marinette, and what better way to do that then to help her with Buttercup? hahaha they’re sooooo stupid and I love it. The identity shenanigans are great and the resolution is even better!
Three Suns by @gabriel-agreste-has-no-rights​
While helping Marinette practice her confession to her "boyfriend who isn't her boyfriend yet," Chat Noir sees Adrien's name on her script. Reveal fic set during Glaciator 2.
One-shot. Not so much a post-episode fic as a rewrite, but they’re so stupid and it’s so good!!
now this one sits here (whispers things to me) by noirshitsuji
Adrien has been staring at the ceiling for at least half an hour already. “Not knowing won’t make your life easier, huh.” His eyes track to the right, but he doesn’t move his head. Plagg’s shape is blurry above the couch. “Is that what I said?” “Essentially.” “Huh,” he replies, eyes drifting towards the ceiling again.
(Or: Marinette tells Chat Noir who she’s in love with.)
One-shot. A Glaciator 2 rewrite where, in practicing her confession on Chat, Marinette tells him that Adrien’s the boy. I really loved Adrien’s reaction and then the end is just perfect.

No matter how amazing this episode was, and even broke my heart with the ending. I'm very glad Adrien didn't want to pursue a relationship with Marinette as Chat Noir.
He knows the consequences it'll bring between them(aka both said that they would ABSOLUTELY risk everything/do anything for their lover) and even felt as if he's taking advantage of Marinette's "crush" with his alter ego.
I'm very proud of Adrien for thinking through this instead of copying Fanon Chat Noir.
Also Marinette asking Tikki if a boy would want her some day.... that was heartbreaking.
Any who, Marichat in Glaciator 2 still stands as the best episode of marichat for moi..

first post back on tumblr in the fandom and hOly SHIT.
LETS TALK ABOUT MARICHAT !!!!
season 5 as a whole has been pretty insane and the underground marichat shippers have been basically recognized as the new kings of the fandom but id like to take a step back and reflect on HOW we got to where we are and the significant turning points in their relationship. marichat is essentially the besties of the love square, their most true versions of themselves with adrien being able to be himself with no restraint of the rings that hold his amok, nor his responsibilities. we’ve seen in the past hes been afraid to be his true self (ie. in lies when he acted as cat noir and said “what if this is the real me to which kagami said no” ultimately showing even around close friends and at the time his girlfriend, had to hide parts of himself).
Tumblr media
looking at marinette, we’ve seen shes afraid to express her TRUE self to really anyone. she hides parts of herself behind obsession of love or fear, but cat noir is the ine shes been MOST vulnerable with aside from alya whos the only one who knows shes ladybug.
now this is where episodes start to come in, im probably the biggest advocate for the first glaciator episode as its if not the most memorable in season 2 in terms of REAL development for the ships as well as characters individually with adrichat accepting that his love can be extreme and marinette knowing she has someone to confide in, learning more about the REAL adrien all be it even if she has no real clue. perfect example of this being the balcony scene.
Tumblr media
even though adrien is the one suffering, the one hurting, he puts his heartbreak aside AS SOON as he hears marinette has been hurt. this all quickly gets brought to the side once the ladynoir of the episode comes in and the moon scene happens but this scene is exTREMELY significant as the only other time we’d seen marichat interact was in gamer in the same season and evillustrator in season 1, their first interaction really only taking place because ladynoir had been on the back burner.
to breakdown further id also like to point out tikkis reaction to cat noir being vulnerable to marinette saying such things as “i’ve never seen the sensitive side of cat noir before, theres a lot to learn about him” to which marinette, all be it confusingly, agrees. from this it shows that while marinette is bewildered by how enamoured cat noir TRULY is to ladybug, she pity’s him and wants to comfort that sadness even going as far as to accepting the rose he gives her at the end of the episode.
moving on from here, we go to glaciator 2. this episode is really interesting because from current events brought up in season 5, we now know adrichat was questioning his feelings for maribug in this episode. the confession scene at the wnd after their talk at the movies is the biggest kicker for me here because he not only caught onto the fact marinette was overwhelmed and decided to take her somewhere to clear her head but to ALSO work on it again with her with further encouragement. he constantly is attentive to marinettes feelings whether shes ladybug or not and to me, that says a lot about what will become of them as a fully canon relationship.
his eyes says it all. NEED I SAY MORE.
Tumblr media
as a closing argument to all of this id just like to say, marichat has come a REALLY long way from season 1 being the only ship to have no attraction to each other whatsoever to becoming the supreme ruler of season 5 and what ultimately pulls the two together beautifully. i’ve seen a lot of hate for this ship come down throughout the years and of course this isnt the first rodeo, but to see their development come so far has been beautiful.

I just noticed something. In "Glaciator 2" Marinette talks about her fears to Chat Noir and says something very interesting,
"If it doesn't work out, it's your heart that gets cataclysm-ed, and no Miraculous Ladybug can repair that."
Isn't it funny that this EXACT thing happens to Gabriel in Destruction? I think it was foreshadowing ^^

gabriel in glaciator 2, not wanting adrien to get akumatized: I-Is everything-((🤢🤢)) alright? A-((🤢)) Adrien I want you to know ((🤢🤭)) if you needed to, you could- ((🤢🤮))talk to me.

adrien: *leaves*
gabriel: ... oh thank god
gabriel: phew! another fatherly job well done! that conversation will do as my 'parental emotional talk' for the next 2 months or so!

See this is EXACTLY why Marinette was afraid to confess to Adrien
To everyone who kept saying that her reason to keep her feelings for herself was stupid, now you see why she never did it.
Adrien has always made it clear that Marinette is just a friend to him. They were friends and he was in love with someone but he made it clear many times that it was not her. And eventually that girl was Kagami, and Marinette knew that. So knowing that Adrien is in love with someone else, she couldn't confess, not because she thought she stands no chance but because she was afraid that he will break her heart. Because obviously if he doesn't love her, telling him that she loves him won't change his mind. It will only break her heart.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And she said it right before this thing was about to happen to her, unfortunately.
In Elation, she and Chat Noir love each other. And it's not the same as with Adrien because Chat Noir is 100% open about his feelings, he told her many times that he loves and they kissed and they were happy and it was all going well, until he said they can't date aka broke her heart. Everything worked out fine and she was so happy that she can date the boy she loves FINALLY after so long but then, even though he had a good reason, he rejected her. She got stood up. And that's what broke her. She was trying so hard to avoid being broken hearted from Adrien, who wasn't in love with her at the same time back then, that she didn't see it coming this time because Chat Noir confessed and took her out on a date and kissed her and THEN broke up with her. Which was ten times worse than rejecting her right away. So either way she experienced heartbreak.
And let's not forget how Luka broke up with her too because she is Ladybug and she didn't have enough space for him in her life.
Tumblr media
And she finally got tired of it. It wasn't just the heartbreak that drew her over the edge but also how being Ladybug is taking away everything from her. But being Ladybug isn't the thing that actually hurt her so much. This was the final straw that nearly got her akumatized.
No wonder she was so unhappy and unable to understand why that happened because he gave her everything and then changed his mind right after. He said it feels like taking advantage of a fan when in reality she was already taken advantage of and it resulted in nothing. She opened up to the boy like this and gave it all for the first time and it backfired. So of course this girl is terrified of saying how she feels and she's going to feel even worse now because of this.
And of course she thinks boys really don't want her, because she felt like this three times already. They either break up with her because she is Ladybug or they break up with her because she is Marinette or they don't love her because she is Marinette. And she feels stupid for just trying to love someone because it can't happen. It just can't happen. She's not so lucky.
Tumblr media
She took cataclysm to her heart three times already. Imagine how afraid of love she's going to be after this episode.

do you have any favorite miraculous ladybug rewrite fics? hope you're doing well ♥
Hmm, I'm not entirely sure what you mean by rewrite. I don't read fics that try to rewrite the whole show "better" because they're inevitably salty and honestly inferior to canon. However, I've read some really great fics that deal with alternate takes on how canon could have gone, especially in the context of certain episodes. (I've previously recced Episode-based Fics and there's some rewrites of the NY Special in my NY Special Adrienette list.)
Transcient by @flightfoot
Everything was fine now, right? She’d assured him that she wasn’t mad about Su-Han knowing his identity, and he sounded like he was feeling better. She’d fixed the problem.
So why wasn’t the lump in her throat disappearing?
------------------------------
Chat's worried about how Su-Han managed to learn his identity. Marinette re-examines her "Obtain Chat Noir's identity" plan.
One-shot. This is an angsty alternate take on how Ephemeral could've gone, really delving into the issues with Ladybug lying to Chat to obtain his identity. There isn't a romantic resolution here, but the ending is hopefully and the fic is really well done.
Partners by @karkalicious769
"Um." Alya fidgeted nervously as her earrings beeped their countdown. "Ask me a question that only Ladybug would know the answer to."
Chat Noir barred his teeth, and— Were they always that sharp? At least he wasn't growling again. "You are not Ladybug," he snapped.
"Just do it!"
It was all Alya had to go off of and she really needed to pull this partnership together before the akuma got any worse. She wasn't deluded enough to think that she could do this without Chat Noir.
One-shot. This is an angsty alternate take on Hack-san, really going into the angst of the ladynoir conflict and its impact on Adrien, especially in light of Gabriel's treatment of him. And also how scary it must've been for Alya for him to attack her like that! The fight is pretty much the point of divergence. Nothing's really resolved at the end, but there is a bit of hopefulness.
Roses and Cream by @tsuki-chibi
What would've happened if Adrien had overheard Plagg talking about how Ladybug and Marinette were the same girl?
One-shot. An alternate take on Weredad where Adrien's hearing is just a little bit better, and instead of the ridiculousness we got in canon, we get a different kind of ridiculousness (with an identity reveal and get together!)
now this one sits here (whispers things to me) by noirshitsuji
Adrien has been staring at the ceiling for at least half an hour already.
“Not knowing won’t make your life easier, huh.”
His eyes track to the right, but he doesn’t move his head. Plagg’s shape is blurry above the couch.
“Is that what I said?”
“Essentially.”
“Huh,” he replies, eyes drifting towards the ceiling again.
(Or: Marinette tells Chat Noir who she’s in love with.)
One-shot. A Glaciator 2 rewrite where, in practicing her confession on Chat, Marinette tells him that Adrien’s the boy. I really loved Adrien’s reaction and then the end is just perfect.
On the Other Note by @thenovelartist
In which Marinette gives Adrien the right note from her purse. Backwarder AU
One-shot. Exactly what it says on the tin: a Backwarder rewrite where Marinette gives Adrien the right note. And then we get to see how it all plays out! I love this fic, especially some of the later bits that I don't want to spoil, but read this!!
Fool Me Twice, Shame on YOU by @gentil-minou​
Based on a tumblr ask: "Ephemeral AU: what if Adrien had thought Ladybug was acting out of character by asking for a reveal, and came to the conclusion that she was a sentimonster sent by Hawkmoth (like in Ladybug) to trick him into revealing his identity?"
AKA: Adrien discovers Shadowmoth's next nefarious scheme, and he ain't having it.
One-shot. This is an Ephemeral rewrite and omggggg it’s HILARIOUS. I seriously could not stop laughing as I was reading it, as it keeps going more and more off the rails.
How Miraculous Should Have Ended by CodenameJD
Inspired by the youtube channel/show How It Should Have Ended, we're going to rewrite the ending of each and every episode of Miraculous.
Sometimes, episodes just miss a few tricks. Sometimes, they're just illogical. And sometimes, episode endings are just bad, wrong, or harmful.
Some new endings will be fun takes, while some will seek to correct those moments that had us all seething.
Multi-chapter. This does get a little salty at times, but mostly it’s just silly and I don’t take it too seriously. It’s just fun! Reading multiple takes on how different scenes in different episodes could have gone, sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse. I really enjoy these! It’s technically a WIP since it’s ongoing, but there’s no plot, just rewrites of different episodes, and you can pick and choose which episodes you want to read based on your preference.
