MARINETTE: LADY LUCK ERA

MLB INHERITANCE AU PT. 4

- the origin:

A new Chat Noir, dubbed "Night Watch" by the masses due to almost exclusively seen at night and doing all manners of good deeds and selfless notions for the average Parisians, popped up almost immediately after Tuxedo's retirement.

When Bridgette is set to move onto campus for university, Marinette is hellbent on moving out of their shared room and having her own space to sew and create. She begs her parents to let her move into the attic, promising to clean out the attic herself.

After her parents agree, Marinette begins to sift through the attic belongings, and sees a pair of earrings she thinks seem vaguely familiar. She puts them on, and looks at them in the mirror, but screams when Tikki pops up behind her reflection telling her the earrings suit her.

Tikki explains the last situation to Mari, and the fae's concerns and desperation as she feels Null grow stronger somewhere in the city. Tikki tells her that she's been keeping an eye on Mari through the years, and recognizes her traits that would make her an excellent Ladybug.

Marinette shuts down Tikki's proposal for heroism, telling Tikki that if Bridgette couldn't do what needed to be done, there's no way Marinette could. Tikki refuses that mindset, though cannot convince the girl further before Sabine knocks on the attic hatch.

The faerie hides in the earrings that Marinette is still wearing, as Sabine pushes through to check in Marinette's progress on the room and offer her help to look through some of her old belongings that Marinette can move.

The two go through trunks of old family heirlooms and photo albums, before Sabine looks wistfully at an old album of her and her old friends.

In the picture is Sabine, Otis, Amelie, Emilie, Tom, and Gabriel. Marinette recognizes Gabriel Agreste, and is shocked that her parents never mentioned knowing him before.

Sabine tells Mari that Tom and Gabriel used to be best friends for a long time, which introduced Amelie and Emilie to their little university friend group. She recalls their days fondly and says their connections were irreplaceable, but admits that the group hadn't done the best efforts for keeping in contact. After Emilie's health had declined, most of the group drifted apart for various personal reasons despite them all trying their best to keep in touch. Amelie and Gabriel had been unreachable since Emilie's coma and Sabine tells her daughter she wishes she could have told them all together what they meant to her.

The two go down together for dinner, but Marinette can't stop thinking about her mom's stories and the Ladybug proposal. Though when she tries to talk to Tikki in the night and following days, the faerie does not respond.

Marinette goes to school at the beginning of a new term, nearly late because of her late night cleanups of the attic, and is met with Alya, Nino, and Chloe.

Chloe had stopped her petty bullying at a much younger age, and the four of them had been a strong group since they were kids.

Walking into the building, a crowd has amassed, but as the four try to shuffle their way past, Chloe squeals and runs to plucks the person grabbing all the attention from the crowd.

Pulling Adrien Agreste out, Chloe holds his arm tight and manages to scare the crowd away. Happily pulling him along, she introduces him to the other three as her best friend since diapers.

Marinette embarrassingly realizes that she's face to face with the model she's had a crush on since she was a kid, and fumbles a greeting to him and a sweaty handshake. He doesn't seem to mind (or notice) at all, and the four go to their class to pick their seats.

Chloe gives up her front row seat with Nino for Adrien, and instead takes the empty seat behind Alya and Mari, and next to Nathanael.

Midway through class, the first akuma alarm in 2 years goes off, and the school is a mess of kids trying to escape.

Adrien disappears in the rush, and the other four make it out of the school, but Alya gets caught by the akuma on the way out. Nino and Chloe immediately run after her, but Marinette is frozen in shock and loses them in the crowd.

Running into a deserted alleyway, Marinette tries to talk with Tikki again, panicked and begging the faerie to respond and tell her what to do so she can save her friends.

Tikki seems to have woken up from a slumber, but quickly recollects herself and guides Marinette what to do. She transforms and sees Chat Noir already on the scene, as he helps her clumsy landing into the battle.

They're both nervous, but Chat helps her get her breathing under control before they turn their attention back at the fight. Trying to get a scope on the situation, Chat suggests she ask her faerie how best to deal with an akuma. Tikki tells them what she told Bri about purifying, faerie spirits, and a bit more about her Ladybug abilities.

They go about clearing the civilians out of the way first, before dealing with the akumas directly. After clearing everyone away, they see their three friends in the hands of the enemy. Before Chat Noir can step in, Ladybug confronts the akuma. She's terrified, and she's shaking, but she resolves herself in saving her friends and the civilians that are helpless. Chat watches her in awe as she faces the akuma, before the two of them manage to end the fight.

After they purify the akuma, an eerie voice begins to speak to them through their miraculous. Sounding like two voices overlapping, the voice tells them that he's coming for their miraculous, and there's nothing they can do to delay the inevitable. That he'll keep sending akuma after akuma, to create his perfect world.

After the message ends, the two evade the press, as Chat Noir leads them to a nearby rooftop to talk in private. They discuss the voice they heard, and formally introduce themselves. Before they can talk more, their miraculous begin to beep, and Chat tells her what the beeping means for their faerie's recharge. He suggests they meet up later that night to discuss more things, but Ladybug hesitates. He tells her there's no pressure, but to think about it- also telling her that it's nice to finally have a quick thinking partner beside him with the akumas coming back.

They both leave the rooftop in different directions, and she hides again to drop her transformation. Tikki tells her she's going to stay in the earrings to rest until she can eat since Marinette wants to check in on her friends, but if Marinette could maybe snag her some cookies from the bakery when they get home.

Mari reunites with Nino, Alya, and Chloe, and the three are fangirling about the superheroes encounter. Marinette hugs them, glad that they're okay. Adrien rejoins them as well, saying he had to take shelter when the attack started. School is dismissed for the rest of the day, as well as school tomorrow, as the staff has to go over more codes and emergency situations with the return of akumas.

Marinette goes home, snagging a few cookies from the bakery, and on her way upstairs, wonders how best to tell Tikki that there's bound to be a better Ladybug out there. Though she stops in her tracks when she sees that her sister is home.

She hugs her sister, and the two catch up a bit. Bridgette mentions she caught the end of the battle from the day's akuma, and asks Marinette if she saw it since it was near her school.

Marinette lies and says she was hiding, and Bri describes it to her, but surprises Marinette by singing high praises for the new Ladybug. Bridgette bittersweetly admires how the new Ladybug was terrified but still managed to pull through and save the day. Saying she can see her push through and do the right things even when they're hard- something that Scarlet couldn't do. She sees hope in the new Ladybug, and tells Marinette that whoever it was, Tikki chose well.

Before Marinette could respond, Bridgette gets a text on her phone. Blushing at the notification, Bridgette gathers the last stuff she came to pick up. Hugging Mari goodbye, she's out the door with promises of seeing her on the weekend for dinner, leaving Marinette alone in the room to think about what she said.

After dinner, Marinette goes to her new room in the attic, and hesitantly brings Tikki out. Recharged from the cookies earlier, Tikki brings up the Chat's proposal from earlier to meet up. Her earlier thoughts of turning the Ladybug role down conflict with her sister's words, and she ultimately agrees to transform and meet her new partner. Though as she transforms and leaves through the upper balcony, she doesn't notice her dad, who came up to ask her about school, poking out from the attic hatch. He watches the balcony hatch a bit after she leaves before going into the kitchen.

She meets up with Night Watch, who admits to doubting a bit if she'd come.

"You came"

"That's what good partners do, right?"

The two discuss things like patrol schedules, and Chat catches her up on a lot of things he would do while transformed. He tells her he had contact with the previous holder and a mentor, and asked if she did as well, to which she sheepishly denied. Chat tells her not to worry, telling her that her fae will tell her a lot too, but that her black cat partner will always be there for her. She rolls her eyes at whatever puns and flirts he makes but offers him a grin at that, pushing her fist out for a fist bump. He returns it.

As she comes home, and drops her transformation, she finds the attic hatch open, and her dad humming in the kitchen below. Seeing her at the hatch, Tom smiles and motions for his daughter to join him in the otherwise empty kitchen.

As she sits down, he pulls. A fresh batch of cookies from the stovetop, telling her they just finished cooling. Marinette laughs and eats one, but freezes when her dad asks if Tikki would like some too. At her reaction, he gives a warm, but concerned smile, and tells her he knows it's the faerie's favorite.

Tikki comes out of the earrings, and faces Tom. She tries to explain why she hadn't left, but he stops her. Telling both Tikki and Marinette that he knows what responsibilities lie in waiting for Ladybug- and how their biggest downfall is them taking on too many things by themselves.

He knows he can't help in the ways he wants to as a father, but tells Marinette that she has him at home, a partner in the Black Cat, and someone he wants her to see the next day since she doesn't have school. He reassures her that they're never alone, and has a team by her side. Marinette and Tikki both wrap Tom in an embrace as all three eat the cookies.

The next day, Tom takes Marinette to her Uncle Fu's shop, confusing the girl. She's been there a million times, and voices her confusion to her father, who laughs it off and tells her to follow him inside.

There, they see Fu, who smiles knowingly and greets the family friends before closing up the shop. He calls Wayzz out, and tells the two to follow him to the back of the shop to discuss recent developments and mentions that he hears Marinette is in the market for a mentor.

Meanwhile, Adrien is happy he's made new friends, his ability to finally go to public school, and his amazing new hero partner.

Though back in his room, he voices to Plagg his concerns about his father: mostly about how distant he has become- as he barely speaks to Adrien anymore and makes Nathalie do any interacting with the boy. Noting that even when Gabriel does talk to him, his voice is cold and monotone; nothing like the father he knew before who- even at his lowest- would make sure to spend time with his son.

Adrien resolves himself to do his best for his father, hopeful that the Gabriel he knew will come back some day to them.

Marinette gets her extra from her parents. A boy just visits wanting to see their daughter, and Tom is already talking about the both of them taking over the bakery, and the both of them wanting to prepare the two.

Sheesh, they have no chill.

(In other news, if Adrien wasn’t already adorably in love with Marinette, he’d marry her in a heartbeat for this alone. This is the dream future for him. Running a bakery?? A chance to be a house husband? While his bosswife takes Paris’ fashion scene by storm? Unlimited sweets???)

Je me demande si les parents de l'autre Marinette n'ont pas tout simplement divorcés. Elle ne parle pas de son père durant le special, on pourrait spéculer qu'il est mort quand elle était jeune. Mais l'approche du divorce serait intéressante dans le sens que Tom aurait pu suggérer de quitter Paris et s'installer ailleurs. Mais Sabine qui serait attachée à la boulangerie ne veut pas partir lui disant qu'ils arriveront à faire avec. Ce qui aurait pu amener des disputes dans lequel Marinette aurait pu les entendre. Peut être que même Sabine s'est plaint de lui en parlant avec Marinette ce qui montrerait pourquoi Marinette se montrait distante. Et malgré l'annonce du divorce, elle s'en doutait mais au fond, elle avait du mal à l'encaisser. Après j'imagine qu'elle allait chez son père aussi mais évitait de parler de choses personnelles malgré les questions de Tom. Après je vais pas entrer dans les détails pour la procédure du divorce. Car je les connais pas précisement et je préfère éviter de raconter n'importe quoi.

I wonder if the other Marinette's parents simply divorced. She doesn't mention her father during the special, so we could speculate that he died when she was young. But the divorce approach would be interesting in that Tom might have suggested leaving Paris and settling elsewhere. But Sabine, who would be attached to the bakery, doesn't want to leave, telling him they'll make do. This could have led to arguments in which Marinette could have heard them. Perhaps even Sabine complained about him to Marinette, which would show why Marinette was so distant. And despite the announcement of the divorce, she suspected it, but deep down, she found it hard to take. Then I imagine she went to her father's too, but avoided talking about personal things despite Tom's questions. I'm not going to go into details about the divorce proceedings. Because I don't know them precisely and I'd rather avoid talking nonsense.

THE PARENTS REDESIGN

I didn’t change them too much lol. A little bit ago I started to quickly draw possible redesigns for some characters (all of them will be posted eventually!) and these two had designs that I liked. They are more prone to change then what I have for Marinette and Adrien though.

As usual, I have no idea what I’m doing with outfits and Marinette in this case was the only one with a reference. But I do know that Sabine won’t be wearing what she usually wears as often. I’ve seen a few posts talking about how that wouldn’t be what she’d wear normally everyday, and it included a few other characters and their designs as well.

I do think these color palettes are going to stay however. I changed Marinette’s hair color to something lighter and will allow me to make shading and hair details more noticeable.

So how about a miraculous x fairy tail au

—————

Marinette is part of the fairy tail guild, her magic is kinda like Lucy’s with the keys but it’s with the miraculous instead.

She’s formally called a keeper and her job is to reunite the miraculous guardians with their new protectors. If they get into the wrong hands the person can manipulate the miraculous to become an extremely dark force of magic that could destroy the kingdom.

Marinette is the holder of the ladybug miraculous and in turn her magic is called Spotted Luck magic, she has increased agility and stamina and it also allows her to see things that many would overlook in battles/journeys (hence the lucky charm motif many members link her with). It also gives her increased luck in battle which means she’s more likely to win against stronger foes even if the odds are not so good.

She’s 22 in this au and was also apart of the blue Pegasus guild when she was younger before leaving for fairy tail with her old friend Luka.

One day when she’s out and about trying to find something for the guild, when out pops plagg the guardian of the Cat miraculous.

Plagg tells her that he can sense the new protector of said miraculous somewhere close and zooms of to find them. Marinette and her guardian tiki follow him, only for her to bump into a blonde and fall right on her ass.

He apologies and introduces himself as Adrien Noir (22), a traveler who’s looking for the fairy tail guild. He sees the mark on Marinette’s ankle (it’s a light pink) and asks her to take him to Laxus/Erza.

Now Marinette is extremely confused along with Tiki, whilst Plagg gets to know Adrien as they walk back to the guild.

This random traveler who looks kinda rich is the new protector of the cat miraculous, he doesn’t seem unlucky or that strong. But she knows not to judge a book by it’s cover and lets him bond with Plagg anyway.

Turns out he’s extremely unlucky because some of Marinette’s old enemies that she’s trying to avoid, stop them half way asking for a rematch and it turns out the boss has graced them with his presence giving Marinette an not so nice ultimatum.

So she’s now been blessed with this guys bad luck and she doesn’t like the odds. But Adrien is like I’m gonna help you anyway.

Turns out his magic is called Nine lives magic, it’s basically keeping him immortal. Unless he’s in battle that’s when he starts to loose his lives but to balance that out it gives his enemies and sometimes allies bad luck. With some healing his lives tend to regenerate he tells her so she’s not worried?

Now along with Plagg (who gave him the ring) this has allowed his magic to amplify meaning the enemies don’t last that long with Marinette’s help too.

She thanks him and decides to take him to Erza, hoping he’ll get out of her hair (even if he is somewhat her responsibility now due to him being a holder of one miraculous)

Adrien ends up joining the guild a few weeks later and decides to team up with Marinette because he likes her and wants to get on her good side so she can trust him more.

She reluctantly agrees and the two of them set of to reunite the rest of the miraculous with the help of their guild.

—————-

Some extra stuff

Adrien was actually looking for Marinette due to someone in his old town telling him about a lady who had the magic of luck on her side that could help him with his own magic.

Marinette’s parents were respectively part of the Blue Pegasus (Sabine) and fairy tail guild (Tom) so both guilds accepted her with open arms really.

Due to this Marinette is mainly treated like a baby and someone to be protected in the guild due to her parents worrying and the guild being her overprotective family

Adrien was also part of blue Pegasus along with his mother but when she “died” he left them to find Marinette and the fairy tail guild.

Some say his father is still trying to find him and bring him back to fulfil his role as heir.

The two of them bond over having to grow up kinda quickly and having somewhat sheltered lives

Adrien with his father dictating his every move

Marinette with not being allowed to journey of on her own even if it is her destiny to do so due to her guilds protective nature over her.

Erza takes Adrien under her wing because she’s sees some of her in him.

He bonds well with Lucy and she becomes a sister to him. Same happens with Cana and Mirajane

Adrien and Natsu are brothers from another mother they just vibe with each other and the guild is so happy but anxious at the same time.

Marinette and Levy are extremely close (levy is also like sabine and tom’s second daughter)

Laxus and Marinette are those siblings that act like they hate each other but love each other on the inside and would do anything for each other.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANNA SEE ANYMORE OF THIS AU!!

As Marinette walks in the rain one day, she hears a rustle that makes her stop.

She looks at the source of the sounds, and spots a painfully familiar blue eyes. Her heart race, her breathe quickens and her eyes widen, then she hears a tiny meow

Marinette blinks a couple times and she sees a white little kitten with large blue eyes hidden in a bush

The feline reminds her alot of him, but...

She looks smaller

Sadder

Afraid

Rumble

The howl of thunder makes the kitten scram and borrow further into the damp bush

Marinette hesitates for a second, then takes a deep breathe

"MARINETTE! Are you alright?? Why are you so la-! Oh! Who's your little friend?" Her father asked, pointing at the purring kitten in Mari's arms

"Papa, im fine. I found the little guy all alone in bush" she said, scratching lightly behind his ear

"I see. Are you sure you're alright? Do you want me to prepare a bath for you? Maybe even for your new friend?" Petting the fur lightly, both Dupain-cheng's were completely enamoured with this purring machine

"Yeah, a bubble-bath would be nice. Thank you, Dada" even though she was smiling, Tom noticed that the smile was strained for some reason, but he knows not to ask his daughter about these things. It only makes her tighten up more. Let her come to you. She always does.

"Anything, sweetie! Two bubble-bathes coming right up!"

As Marinette went to pick her clothes and the fluffiest towels for the ball of fluff, she sighed very, very deeply

"How many nightmares you think you'll feul?" She asked, but the kitten only bleped at her

"*gasp* so rude!" She giggled, poking his nose

After the very needed bubble-bath, Marinette was in her room

"I heard we have a little guest over here" Sabine went into the room while Marinette was drying up the kittens fur, and decided to pocl up a towel and dry her daughters hair

"Yeah, he seemed like he was not liking the rain" kitty-cat meowed in response, seeming to agree with Mari

Marinette let go of the fluffy kitten and turned to look at her mother. She looked tired, and for her life Sabine couldn't figure out why. What makes daughter look on the verge of falling apart

"Mom, can we keep him?"

"Of course" she didn’t even think, not when her angle was looking at her like that "as long as i dont spot him in the bakery"

"Thank you, Mama" Sabine may not understand what her daughter is going through, may never understand, but looking at her smike at least gives her hope that everything will be alright

"What are you gonna call him?"

"Ive, I've been thinking about...blanc"

"very original"

"Mama!"

"Marinette, are you sure about this?"

She stays quiet, unsure what to say

"...no"

",but, he looked so small, so sad, so scared. Now, at least hes warm and safe. Maybe, maybe this could help me, ya know?"

It broke tikki to see her like that, so small and sad. Is that what Marinette wants? For someone to hold her close and keep her safe.

She flew to Marinette's cheeks and hugged her tightly. After all, this is all she can do right now.

"As long as you feel better, Mari"

Thanks, tikki
