Summary
genius loci (n); ge·ni·us lo·ci: the intangible quality of a material place, which can invoke feelings of connection or disconnection
+
Jungkook lives a life of abundance. He's the top student in St. Therese's Art and Architecture Department, the recipient of a prestigious scholarship, and a hefty trust fund waits for him after he graduates. What he could do without is Taehyung, his infuriating, if brilliant, rival.
While they would love nothing more than to avoid each other, a shared discovery leads them into a world of drugs, sex, and power that they'll have to navigate together if they want to make it out unscarred.

“ Humans are fallible. They make mistakes, make bad choices. They don’t think about the consequences. They don’t worry about the todays when they’re living for their yesterdays.”
Can I just take a moment to relish in how beautifully this was written? How everything was threaded together in careful consideration to Alice in Wonderland themes, to actual character personalities, to the dialogues and portrayals… how it all connects into the conclusion that is this beautiful story. I’m so racked with emotion at how amazing this story is.
I think what really got to me was the overarching theme of acceptance. In the end, one’s own perception is what truly allows or prevents them from accepting right from wrong…
“It means that you shouldn’t let others dictate your sense of it. You are only late when you try to quantify time, but if you just let it exist in its natural state, you are neither late, nor early…you just are.” You just are!!!

Summary
Marinette never really wanted to be a superhero, for the record, but the choice wasn’t hers. And when she sees a car headed for Alya the day Stoneheart appears, that’s not a choice either—that’s a death sentence for a girl with no powers, just a phone and too much curiosity for her own good.
Marinette becomes Ladybug, and she moves.
In hindsight, Marinette supposes the car crushes her skull, her lungs—something like that. She thinks she remembers hitting the ground, but that could be wishful thinking, the desire for a sense of certainty that will always be out of reach. It doesn’t really matter, as much as she’d like to think so.
The bottom line is that on her first day on the job, Ladybug dies. And then she gets back up.
//
Or, in an effort to keep her newest wielder calm, Tikki might’ve skipped over some things in her initial explanation.

Summary
What if ‘the one’ split into two…?
Marinette Dupain-Cheng, Lady Luck herself, has finally fallen on her feet after years of playing catch-up. Her boss, Mary Humphries of The House of Humphries, has invited her to be first assistant at an important meeting in London with none other than Gabriel Agreste.
But with bad luck seemingly always knocking on her door, she needs to make sure she doesn’t ruin this opportunity — which is easier said than done.
When she mistakes handsome, geeky looking Adrien Agreste as Gabriel’s personal assistant, suddenly she seems to have magicked up some luck.
They could not be more different in personality, yet after surviving a rather interesting Akuma together, a strange and exciting friendship forms… It’s just a shame one person doesn’t agree.
Someone who happens to be his ‘other half’.

Such a wildly unique take on a split identity…the chaos ensued by Chat Noir tormenting Marinette during her day-to-day life is so funny since nobody but her can see or hear him! What’s even more hilarious is his apparent rivalry with himself, unknowing he is Adrien! Super silly fic, that made me cringe (in the best ways) and warmed my heart. Did stop at chapter 30 though! Perhaps I am just one for emotionally painful reveals…lighthearted ones don’t always do it for me

There are two things Adrien is absolutely sure of. Firstly, he harbors no romantic feelings towards Marinette. Secondly, he is madly in love with Ladybug.
Then he puts two and two together, and he is left with the aftermath.

Summary
University has been hard on Marinette. Making new friends and maintaining her grades is a lot easier said than done when she has to disappear at odd times to fight akumas. She's struggling, and with Alya away with family and Adrien painfully out of reach, she's never felt lonelier.
If only she could talk to someone who really understood her struggles... but it's not like Chat Noir would know anything about loneliness. Right?

Disrespectfully Yours, Marinette Dupain-Cheng by fettuccine (LFA)

Summary
Marinette Dupain-Cheng is top of the class. Straight A's, perfect attendance, and editor-in-chief of her university's premiere fashion magazine.
Or... she would be top of the class, if it weren't for her academic rival Adrien Agreste.
They've been competing for everything since their freshman year of college. If Marinette gets a 99, he gets a 100. If she gets an internship, he gets a better one.
Now in their senior year of college, they're ready to fight it out one more time to win student journalist of the year — and the scholarship that comes with it. But when a semester-long project forces them to team up, everything changes.
If they want to remain in consideration for the award, they'll have to figure out how to work together. Because in the cutthroat world of academia — and journalism — failure is not an option.Series

Summary
Adrien Agreste has always considered Marinette Dupain-Cheng entertaining. Whether it was the endless back and forth of their banter, the clumsiness he found so cute or the fact her anger levels could go from 1-100 in a mere millisecond; he always found there was something about her... if only he could get to know her better.
Marinette Dupain-Cheng has always considered Adrien Agreste a pompous, arrogant asshole. From his constant teasing of her, to the obnoxious laugh at her discomfort and the way he could anger her quicker than any other human being; she knew she hated Adrien Agreste with all she was worth.
But what happens when Adrien accidentally sends the wrong text to the wrong person and a new friendship blossoms - a friendship deeper than either have ever known?
Will Marinette choose to stay faithful to the budding relationship with the boy on the other side of the phone?
Or will a new job with an old foe fill the loneliness in her heart?

Her boss is gone, the entire company is going haywire, her whole career's at risk of going up in smokes, and she's confronted with a past she thought was long behind her, the previously clean, straightforward lines defining her non-existent relationship with a former friend who betrayed her in the cruellest of ways getting blurry.
She isn't used to failure. Breaking under the pressure is not an option. But can she pull through the insanity she'd landed herself into alone or will she crumble, sending years of sacrifices and hard work down the drain?- Language:

Summary
The thought came across in a familiar growl of frustration: Do something.
His feet were moving before he had fully formed a plan. Putting a hand up to call off the gunman, he ran towards her, arms wide open.
“Sweetheart!” he flinched at Marinette’s look of uncertainty.
This is going to be uncomfortable.Less uncomfortable than a bullet wound. Chat’s voice echoed again in his mind.
As he neared her, she froze. For a moment, he feared that she would back away from him. Please don’t freak out.
Reaching for her, he pulled her close enough to whisper into her ear, “Marinette, whatever happens next, I need you to please.. PLEASE play along. I need you to trust me. For both of us.”
As he pulled back from her, he saw her attempt to smooth the look of confusion from her face. She understood. Thank God.“I wasn’t expecting you so soon!” he spoke a little too loudly, clearly for the audience. He cringed inwardly and tried to calm his nerves.
Act better.Before Marinette had a chance to respond, he reached a hand up to the side of her face, holding her still as he pressed his mouth to hers.

Summary
Adrien Agreste, son of Renegade Council member Gabriel Agreste, had barely stepped foot outside of his house for most of his life. Only a handful of people were allowed to know he even existed. But when he suddenly becomes a prodigy with the ability to destroy anything he touches, he decides to run away and join his own father’s organization of superheroes.
Marinette Dupain-Cheng, or as the city knew her, Ladybug, was the leader of one of the most powerful superhero teams in the Renegades. She, along with her team, fought crime, stopped criminals, and saved the city from akumatized supervillains every day. It was all part of the job. She was good at what she did, and she knew that one day, she and the rest of the Renegades would take down Hawkmoth once and for all.
But when she meets Chat Noir and new information comes to light, she starts to wonder whether she drew the battle lines correctly.
Tl;dr: basically the Renegades AU no one asked for. It’ll still make sense if you haven’t read those books.
