More Than One Secret

By: Tyshian

Ship: Marinette Dupain-Cheng | Ladybug/Damian Wayne, Chloé Bourgeois/Tim Drake

Minor Ships: Juleka Couffaine/Rose Lavillant, Ivan Bruel/Mylène Haprèle, Alya Césaire/Nino Lahiffe

Status: Complete

Salt: Chloé Bourgeois Sugar, Adrien Agreste Salt, Alya Césaire Salt, Lila Rossi Salt, Caline Bustier Salt, MiracuClass Salt

Summary:

Marinette Dupain-Cheng has Secrets. Damian Wayne has Secrets. The pair together have Secrets.

In which: Hawkmoth and Mayura are beaten but they don't know it. Adrien is an obsessive limp noodle. Alya is an oblivious attack dog and Lila is screwed one way or the other, she just doesn't know it yet. Chloe finds her soulmate in a caffeinated Wayne. Damian learned about emotions from Marinette so he isn't the emotionally stumped little ball of anger he used to be. Marinette and Damian reveal what could be considered a years long prank of epic nature and break a few brains along the way.

The Wayne family and Bustier's class aren't going to know what hit them by the time Marinette and Damian are done with them.

Opinion: Look, it’s a very Salty fic with a simple premise but it’s fun and well written. Not everything needs overly ploty and this is definitely one of those fun fics.

We Should have Stayed in Gotham

By: skhwriter

Ship: Marinette Dupain-Cheng | Ladybug/Damian Wayne

Minor Ships: Ivan Bruel/Mylène Haprèle

Status: Work In Progress

Salt: Chloé Bourgeois Sugar, Alya Césaire Salt, Lila Rossi Salt, Caline Bustier Salt, MiracuClass Salt

Summary:

The students of Gotham Academy were confused. It was International Friendship Week, and it was Gotham’s turn to host. Except no one wanted Gotham to host, not even Gotham! So the Directors of the Friendship Conference decided that it was in everybody’s best interest to skip the City of Crime and go straight to the City of Lights. Everyone thought that it was the perfect idea! Except for Paris. The Gothamites couldn’t help but laugh and scoff at the Parisians insistence that Gotham would be a much safer place than Paris, and nothing should change. And everyone, even one Damian Wayne, was thrilled when the petition went through, and they boarded the plane for Paris.

And then…a giant baby…tried to eat the Eiffel Tower…they should have stayed in Gotham.

Opinion: A fun fic that takes a realistic approach to how Paris would view Akumas and how outsiders would take it.

The Paris Problem

By: newdog14

Ship: Marinette Dupain-Cheng | Ladybug/Damian Wayne

Minor Ships: Juleka Couffaine/Rose Lavillant, Ivan Bruel/Mylène Haprèle, Alya Césaire/Nino Lahiffe

Status: Work In Progress

Salt: Chloé Bourgeois Sugar, Adrien Agreste Salt, Alya Césaire Salt, Lila Rossi Salt, Caline Bustier Salt, MiracuClass Salt  

Summary:

Damian Wayne, one time assassin, present-day vigilante, and entirely uninterested in getting the normal teenage experience. Marinette Dupain-Cheng, part time superhero, full time guardian, and very much wishing for the days of being a normal girl again. They’ve been brought together by circumstance and common enemies, and they’ll never be ordinary, but together they might just find a new normal as they work together to solve The Paris Problem.

Opinion: This is the Daminette Fic. I love it so much and it’s so Ploty. It is Salty But it definitely feels more canon then some of the fics I read. Good world building as well.

LadyBugOut AU (Snippets) | Tumblr

By: Miraculous_Content | FFNet | Tumblr 1 | Tumblr 2

Ship: Luka Couffaine/Marinette Dupain-Cheng | Ladybug

Minor Ships: Juleka Couffaine/Rose Lavillant, Ivan Bruel/Mylène Haprèle, Alya Césaire/Nino Lahiffe 

Status: Complete

Salt: Juleka Couffaine Sugar, Rose Lavillant Sugar, Ivan Bruel Sugar, Nino Lahiffe Sugar, MiracuClass Sugar, Adrien Agreste Salt, Alya Césaire Salt, Lila Rossi Salt, Chloé Bourgeois Salt, Nino Lahiffe Salt, Caline Bustier Salt, MiracuClass Salt

Summary:

Immediately after the events of "Oblivio," discussion is brewing over the photo of Ladybug and Chat Noir kissing, with Alya excitedly soaking it all in. However, not all opinions are positive, and once Marinette takes Ladybug's side in the debate, the class ends up dividing itself on the matter completely.

Questions are asked, seats are changed, and Marinette gets an idea of her own: if no one else will step up for Ladybug, she will, and she'll make a blog herself in order to do so.

As friends come and go, a crush is crushed, new heroes are considered, and Marinette is able to clear her mind to focus on the more important things in her life.

Her happiness, her new blog, and finding Hawk Moth.

Opinion: I have recommended this multiple time. It’s fantastic. Calls people out on shitty behavior without bashing. It even calls out Marinette’s uncomfortable crush on Adrien. I just really love this fic. One of my absolute favorite Miraculous Fics.

The Karma Of Lies

By: CartoonAddict564

Ship: Luka Couffaine/Marinette Dupain-Cheng | Ladybug

Minor Ships: Juleka Couffaine/Rose Lavillant, Alya Césaire/Nino Lahiffe, Ivan Bruel/Mylène Haprèle, Jean Duparc/Kagami Tsurugi

Status: Complete

Salt: Chloé Bourgeois Sugar, Juleka Couffaine Sugar, Rose Lavillant Sugar, Adrien Agreste Salt, Alya Césaire Salt, Lila Rossi Salt, MiracuClass Salt

Summary:

All Adrien wanted was to keep the peace and make sure everyone in his class stayed friendly. That was why he took the high road, held his tongue, and allowed Lila's lies to spread unchecked. He didn't think this was a big deal; sure, Marinette complained, but she'd endured just fine when he'd defended Chloe, so why would this be any different? And besides, who could be hurt by a couple of tall tales about celebrities and fake charitable work?

But karma is a stubborn thing. It can occasionally be deflected, such that a villain is protected from her well-deserved punishment, but it can never be truly stopped--especially when the Ladybug miraculous is involved. In those cases, if appropriate consequences cannot fall upon the villain herself, they inevitably descend upon the protector who upheld her lies, downplayed her cruelties, and shielded her from harm.

And by the time Adrien learns just what sort of punishment that Lila earned and that he must now endure, it may be far too late for him.

Miraculous salt fic.

Opinion: This is such a good fic. Quite possibly the best Miraculous Ladybug Fic I’ve ever read. Most certainly in the top ten. If you have I low tolerance for Salt I can’t recommend it but I can’t think of anything that could turn a Lukanette Shipper away from this fic. Even Lila is actually a competent villain. And despite being Salty it doesn’t feel Wildly Out Of Character. Sadly Certain People do not get the fate they so richly deserve but there’s a Lore reason for this and that is the whole premise of the fic. Even if you don’t reread it a dozen or so times like I did I honestly could not recommend it more highly.

Villain Of Your Own Story

By: Cornholio4

For: ChaoticNeutral

Ship: Luka Couffaine/Marinette Dupain-Cheng | Ladybug/Nino Lahiffe

Minor Ships: Luka Couffaine/Marinette Dupain-Cheng | Ladybug, Marinette Dupain-Cheng | Ladybug/Nino Lahiffe, Alya Césaire/Nino Lahiffe, Adrien Agreste | Chat Noir/Marinette Dupain-Cheng | Ladybug

Status: Complete

Salt: Alya Césaire Salt, Adrien Agreste Salt, Chloé Bourgeois Salt, Lila Rossi Salt, Caline Bustier Salt 

Summary:

Alya Cesaire liked to think that she was the perfect best friend for Marinette, not giving up on Marinette being with Adrien and helping her out now that she knew that she was Ladybug. Upon discovering about the wish while filling in for Marinette, she gets the idea to use it to discover Hawk Moth's identity. Marinette is stubbornly against it and Alya goes through with it and decides to make the wish while also wishing for Marinette's happiness.

Unfortunately for her Tikki manages to influence the wish and she has a different idea on what Marinette's happiness is than Alya...

Inspired by The Lament Series by Nobodyfamousposts / ChaoticNeutral and used with permission.

Opinion: This Fic an interesting idea. And it’s very in character for Alya to do something like this. I like the thought put into this and Marinette deserves good things.

Pinocchio (Or Demon Spawn Becomes a Real Boy)

By: Mentally12ReadingPJO

Ship: Marinette Dupain-Cheng | Ladybug/Damian Wayne

Minor Ships: Juleka Couffaine/Rose Lavillant, Ivan Bruel/Mylène Haprèle, Alya Césaire/Nino Lahiffe

Status: Work In Progress

Salt: Adrien Agreste Salt, Alya Césaire Salt, Lila Rossi Salt, Caline Bustier Salt, MiracuClass Salt

Summary:

My first writing attempt in years and my first fanfic: read at your own risk :).

Damian's brothers are curious: the demon seems to be acting like a real boy. It was subtle at first, but it became increasingly obvious when he called someone they caught "sus". It was even less subtle when they found him scrolling on his phone in a blanket at 2 am and whispered "ding" while flicking his wrist. Needless to say they were concerned.

Will be continued far in the future...

Opinion: It’s a good fic. Not overly serious and meant to have a good time with. A little Salty though. But I will admit to not seeming that as an issue.
