A screenshot from a Miraculous Ladybug rewrite titled “The Lady & The Cat”; the word “thorn” is highlighted. The snippet reads: “What was that for?” She sighs. “Marinette Dupain-Cheng is a thorn in my side. She acts like she’s all good and perfect, but she isn’t and she knows that. She’s been trying to steal my spotlight in the design class since our first year and now she’s trying to take the internship from me.” “What internship?” She checks up and down the hall before leaning in close. “I’m only telling you this because we’re besties. If this gets out, I’ll never forgive you.” Adrien nods.

A screenshot from a Miraculous Ladybug rewrite titled “The Lady & The Cat”; the word “insane” is highlighted. The snippet reads: “And you don’t even need a scholarship. Your parents are literally the best bakers in the city. What is she gonna do? Boycott them?” “Yeah, that’d be insane,” Marinette agrees. “Plus, what could she even do? The school wouldn’t listen to anything she’d say! …Unless she accuses me of plagiarism… or hurting someone. Or what if she puts something in my locker?” “Okay, let’s calm it down.” Alya holds Marinette’s shoulder. “None of that would happen. Not just because we’re looking out for you, but she’s busy with her new boytoy.”
A screenshot from a Miraculous Ladybug rewrite titled “The Lady & The Cat”; the word “twists” is highlighted three times. The snippet reads: “Are you tired too?” Adrien asks. “Yeah. Me and Mari stayed up late playing games.” “I noticed that she was kinda…” he peeks behind himself at Marinette struggling to take the lid off of her cup. She twists and twists and twists until Alya finally motions to her to pull the lid and she facepalms. “Out of it,” he finishes. Marinette lets out a yelp when the bell rings. Her coffee tilts, but Alya catches it before it all spills. She groans and pulls a napkin out of her bag.
A screenshot from a Miraculous Ladybug rewrite titled “The Lady & The Cat”; the word “relaxes” is highlighted. The snippet reads: Ladybug pushes herself back onto the roof and sits right next to Cat Noir with her legs through the rails. “How about we agree to disagree about the field thing?” He hums thoughtfully. “On one condition.” “And what’s that?” “Will you keep petting me?” She wraps an arm around him and pulls him close. “Of course I will, Kitty.” The tip of his tail swishes before he relaxes into her side and a loud rumbling begins in his chest.
A screenshot from a Miraculous Ladybug rewrite titled “The Lady & The Cat”; the word “centuries” is highlighted. The snippet reads: Though each kwami may combine with their Miraculous and regain a fraction of their full ability, it is much safer for them to bond with a holder, someone to take on the power and merge with the kwami. For centuries, the kwamis have been passed from holder to holder, with their memories wiped and true names lost along the way… For decades, the Miraculous have been nearly forgotten… For weeks, the Miraculous of Transmission and its kwami resembling a butterfly has been in use.
A screenshot from a Miraculous Ladybug rewrite titled “The Lady & The Cat”; the word “goddess” is highlighted. The snippet reads: Adrien stares up at the blue-haired, black-eyed goddess that scoops him up. Ladybug tightens her grip around his waist as they fly into the sky, tight enough that he won’t fall but not tight enough to crush him. Though if she did, he probably wouldn’t mind. She doesn’t speak to him or even look his way much, but her presence is much stronger with him as a civilian. Is this how she is with everyone?
A screenshot from a Miraculous Ladybug rewrite titled “The Lady & The Cat”; the word “next” is highlighted. The snippet reads: “Go sit by them. Maybe you’ll be able to hear what they’re talking about and feed us some info.” “But I don—” “Alright, class,” says the teacher as she walks into the room. With a sigh, Adrien takes a seat and keeps his head down. Just his luck to make enemies on day one and get stuck right next to them. There’s a huff from behind him before Marinette and her friend whisper to one another. The boy who sat in front of them and, consequently, next to Adrien, nudges him. “Yo, did she tell you to put gum on Marinette’s chair?”
A screenshot from a Miraculous Ladybug rewrite titled “The Lady & The Cat”; the word “get” is highlighted. The snippet reads: “Great work, Marinette! Your designs are always a treat,” praises Madame Lennox. A couple rows ahead, Chloe stops what she’s doing. “It’s not finished yet,” Marinette says. “I’m sure I could do better.” She smiles warmly. “Don’t overthink it. Your designs are already amazing enough to guarantee you a spot in the fashion show this spring.” “I’d need to do more than just get a spot. I want the internship.” “I have no doubt you’re well on your way there. If you can get your work onto a model at Fashion Week, that internship will be a breeze.”
A screenshot from a Miraculous Ladybug rewrite titled “The Lady & The Cat”; the word “races” is highlighted. The snippet reads: Marinette races toward Francois Dupont. Her bag feels lighter than it should be, but she has no time to turn around and find whatever she’s missing. The bell is going to ring soon and she can’t start her late streak this early into the year. Someone leaning against the stair wall squeals and then takes off toward her. For a split second, Marinette begins to move out of their way. Then she notices the red curls. The glasses. The mole on her cheek. “Alya!”
A snippet from a story titled After Dusk that reads: “Honey, why aren’t you inside with everyone else?” He can’t help but grin as Emily cups his cheeks and the scent of her citrus perfume gets stronger. Her breath fans over his face and her forehead touches his. “I was waitin’ for you,” he whispers. “I’m here.” Her hands clasp around his. “No need to go gettin’ yourself washed away.”
A screenshot from a Miraculous Ladybug rewrite titled “The Lady & The Cat”; the word “extra” is highlighted. The snippet reads: He presses a finger to his lips. His ears adjust while he squints. It must be hard to control that many extra appendages. Ladybug still doesn’t have full control over her antennae, but the wings aren’t too hard to manipulate. “Ahead,” Cat Noir says quietly. Ladybug’s heart drops. “You mean…”
A screenshot from a Miraculous Ladybug rewrite titled “The Lady & The Cat”; the word “keep” is highlighted. The snippet reads: Gabriel keeps his hands clasped behind his back as he slowly circles the room. Dressed in silver with his gray hair slicked down, he’s not too unlike a shark. “I’ve tried to keep you safe ever since your mother died. Yet, you insist on putting yourself in danger.” Adrien puts his hands in his lap and squeezes them together. “Your little stunt at the school has cost us greatly. Videos of you looking pathetic have been plastered across the internet and I’ve been called a bad father. We’ve been losing sales because you wanted to be selfish. You’ve stained my reputation, Adrien. Do you know what that means?”
A screenshot from a Miraculous Ladybug rewrite titled “The Lady & The Cat”; the word “hot” is highlighted. The snippet reads: Neither of them are qualified for this. They can’t be if Cat Noir’s penchant for danger is anything to go by. “Is it cold out here to you?” “Huh?” Cat Noir looks at her. “It should be hot, right?” “It’s almost September?” Before she can ask anything more, Ladybug gasps. “The fire!” “We might’ve found an akuma.” Cat Noir couldn’t sound more excited. “Are you ready?” “Um… well…”
A screenshot from a Miraculous Ladybug fanfic titled “The Lady & The Cat”. The snippet is a conversation between the two main characters: Cat Noir and Ladybug. It reads: “We’ll learn things together! You’re my sidekick, after all.” She squints curiously. “I don’t think either of us are experienced enough to have a sidekick.” “Nah, my kwami totally said that you’re the sidekick.”
A snippet from a Miraculous Ladybug rewrite titled “The Lady & The Cat”; the word “complaining” is highlighted. The snippet reads: He flinches as his father approaches from behind. “For the sake of my company, to allow you to continue to live in luxury without the need to work, I will permit you to attend school. This is not out of the kindness of my heart, but necessity. To repair the damage you’ve done. In return, you’ll do exactly as I say, when I say. If I tell you that Nathalie will be picking you up early, you will go without complaining.” He slams his hand on the table. “Do you understand?” The glassware trembling under his hand reverberates through the room and continues until Adrien nods. “Yes, Father.” “Very well. You start tomorrow morning.”
A screenshot from a Miraculous Ladybug fanfic titled “The Lady & The Cat”; the word “leading” is highlighted. The snippet reads: “Good, because we have work to do with—speak of the Devil.” “What are you doing?” Someone asks behind Adrien. He jumps and turns around. The black-haired girl Chloé was telling him about stands right in front of him. “Putting gum on your chair.” The girl leading them points out the smudged gum he couldn’t get up. “No—” Her gaze falls and she sighs. “Of course. You’re Chloé’s friend. Why wouldn’t you?”
A screenshot from the second chapter of a Miraculous Ladybug rewrite with the word “wealth” highlighted. The snippet reads: She goes down the checklist on her fingers as she packs her things. The excitement starts to wear down as she gets closer to the end. Last year was hard enough to get through with Chloé Bourgeois flaunting her dad’s power and wealth to get anything she remotely wanted. There’s no telling what she’s prepared for Marinette this year. Knowing that they’d be in the same class again made Marinette wish she had never begged her parents to let her attend Françoise Dupont. She closes her eyes and breathes in through her nose…then out through her mouth… Marinette opens her eyes. Her will is steel and her mind is made. “I won’t let Chloé make my year miserable! I’ll have a good first day no matter what she does.”
A screenshot from a Miraculous Ladybug fanfic with the word “ready” highlighted. It reads: “As soon as this is over,” she tells herself, “I’m telling Tikki to go find someone else.” Cat Noir looks over his shoulder with a smile. “Hurry up, sidekick! We’ve got some butt to kick!” Ladybug narrows her eyes at him. “I’m not your sidekick!” Thick black smoke rises from an apartment building just up the street. People are ushered outside and away, and the sirens have already begun but they’re still too far. Now Marinette is rushing toward it at full speed. Her partner is definitely more ready for what’s to come than she is.
A screenshot from a Miraculous Ladybug rewrite with the word “lost” highlighted. The snippet reads: He turns to Chloé and tries to pull away, but she just holds on tighter. “I was looking for you this morning.” She backs up, but keeps her grip on his shoulders. “I told you to meet me outside at eight.” “Nathalie dropped me off early, and I just lost track of time.” “Talking to him?” Adrien glances at Nino. “Well, not the whole time, but yeah…” “We’ve talked about this stuff, Adri.” “I know, but—” “We’ll talk at lunch, okay? Mwah.” He gives a tight smile before she walks to her own desk.
A snippet from a Miraculous Ladybug fanfic with the word “life” highlighted. The snippet reads: “Y’know, I hate to break it to you, but if Monarch pulls something we’ll both have to work.” “Then at least I’ll get to see you, M’Lady.” “It still has to be special for you. Everyone deserves a nice birthday.” He smiles for her. “I’ll be alright no matter what happens. I don’t do anything special for my birthday, that’s not really how I grew up.” “Still…” Ladybug leans on his shoulder. “I want you to feel special in your civilian life, Kitty. I hope you have someone who makes sure to treat you extra nice.” “I definitely have someone who makes me feel special.”
A screenshot from a Miraculous Ladybug rewrite with the word “quiet” highlighted. The text reads: The Dupain-Cheng Bakery is up ahead. The lights are off downstairs, but someone is clearly up and moving around upstairs. He stops at the crosswalk with everyone else and waits. Is this a bad idea? Plagg is comfortable in his pocket with a small pack of crackers. If nothing else, he’s quiet and hasn’t mentioned how weird it is showing up at a friend’s house so late or how he wished the crackers were stinky cheese. Marinette's scooter is chained up outside the back door. Adrien sweeps the street before knocking. Hopefully Nathalie is too busy to realize he’s missing. Maybe she doesn’t care to tell his father anymore. If he remembers he has a son half the time.
A screenshot from a Miraculous Ladybug fan-fiction that reads: “Already on it.” Marinette copies the link and starts to paste it in their chat, but something tucked just beyond the monitor catches her eye. She pulls it forward and her finger touches something tiny and smooth on the back. When she turns the octagonal box around, she finds a ladybug crawling onto her finger. “Oh!” She looks closer. It has two long antennae attached to its head. Marinette wishes she knew enough about insects to tell what species of ladybug it is. “Hi.” “Hey?” Marinette looks at her phone. “Not you. There’s a ladybug in my room. Now it’s on my finger.”
The sketch is of a single story home with a wooden door and two windows. There is a large tree in the back yard, sparse foliage around the worn path, and a bush against the right side of the house.
