I've already done one of this for the Fairy Tail fandom, but I think one for Miraculous Ladybug won't be bad. How come nobody had this idea before? If you want me to put here a specific fanfic, just tell me through reviews.
ENJOY!

Marinette, Alya, Nino and Adrien were all in front of a computer in Adrien's room. He have invited a lot of people, but only they were there already.
"Soooo… you say there are stories in that site, reporter girl?" Marinette asked.
"More accurately, stories of Ladybug and Chat Noir. I can't wait to read some!" Said girl squealed. Nino rolled his eyes.
"Dude, I must admit Chat Noir's really cool –insert Adrien's internal ego boost here –but no need to be that excited"
"Let's see- hey, wha's that?" Adrien said, clicking on a story. He started reading out loud.
Classroom Acrobatics
"I wonder what it is about" The blue-haired girl thought out loud.
"About acrobatics in class, duh" Her best friend deadpanned.
By: quicksilversquared
"What kind of name is that?"
"A Fanfiction user name. They're commonly weird. I personally know that."
"Then, they're weird or common?"
"Stop messing around with my head, dude"
A teacher's attempt in catching latecomers results in Marinette choosing a somewhat unconventional way to enter the classroom.
"Wait, wasn't it about Ladybug and Chat Noir?"
"I'm involved?! This is no good!"
Alya gasped dramatically.
"Oh my, my baby is going to make acrobacies through the building until she reaches class! They grow up so fast!"
Marinette stopped freaking out to groan and the boys chuckled while Alya was wiping off a fake tear.
-.-
It was nearing the end of the semester when Madam Mendeleiev made the announcement, waking up the entire class from their heat-induced laze.
"I've noticed that some of you are being rather sloppy with coming to class on time," she started sternly. "So starting Monday, I will be locking the door as soon as the bell rings. If you are late, you can go to the principal and explain to him why you could not manage to rouse yourself in time."
"I bet a hundred euros that's to catch and/or punish me" The designer stated, earning some nods.
Marinette slumped in her seat. This was just to punish her, she was sure.
"Told you so"
She had gotten better this semester at having an alarm set for morning at all times, just in case she fell asleep at her desk doing homework. Still, sometimes she still sleepily hit the snooze button without thinking about it...and sometimes Tikki-
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait. Who's Tikki?" The ombre-haired girl asked.
Marinette stiffened. She was sweating enough to drown in her own sweat.
"Er- Uh- A-A friend of mine that comes to sleep sometimes!" She blurted out. The other girl gave her a suspicious look.
Adrien's eyes widened. Wasn't that Ladybug's kwami, as Plagg told him?
-did, just as tired as Marinette herself.
Once she had time again, Marinette would have to build something to hold her phone that would prevent both of them from turning off the alarm without realizing it.
"Didn't know you got the skill"
"So many things you don't know about me, Nino"
There were only four more weeks in the semester, though. Maybe she wouldn't be late again.
"Doubt it"
"HEY!"
-.-
A week and a half later
Adrien frowned at the empty seat behind him. The bell was about to ring and Marinette had yet to show up. Somehow she had managed to arrive with plenty of time every day since the announcement, but it looked like her lucky streak was over.
"My, my, someone will have to go to the principal's!" The glassed girl feigned surprised. Her friend just huffed.
"Alya, is Marinette coming today?" Adrien asked, leaning backwards over her desk. "Class is about to start!"
Alya was looking worried. "She should be! I would call her, but that would just slow her down if she's on her way."
The bell rang loudly and Madam Mendeleiev wasted no time in slamming the door shut and locking it. Seconds later, Adrien saw the top of a black head of hair skid to a stop in front of the door. Marinette didn't even try the door, instead turning away and heading back the way she came. She had probably heard the click of the lock as she raced towards the classroom.
"Heading to fate she goes"
"I'm not that easy to defeat, FYI"
"And… Note taken"
"Oh, she's going to get in trouble," Alya murmured, her head turning to watch her friend race away.
"Told you so!"
Madam Mendeleiev didn't notice, busy writing down their exercises on the board. Adrien winced in sympathy before pulling out his notebook and starting work on the first of the problems.
"Awww" Nino cooed.
"Shut up and let me read!"
"I can't go to the principal, he'll call my parents again and I'll get in trouble," Marinette groaned as she skidded to a halt. Then she froze. "Wait. The windows. They've been open all week because the classroom gets so stuffy in this weather!"
"No. You are not going to enter through the window… right?"
Marinette just shrugged.
Tikki flew out of her bag. "But Marinette! The windows are on second floor! Someone would see you going in, even if you don't fall and hurt yourself!"
"Yeah! Listen to that mysterious concience voice!" The worried girl cried.
Marinette turned and headed for the stairs to the roof. "Marinette wouldn't be able to do it, but Ladybug could!
"Duh"
I'll be Ladybug when I'm swinging, then turn into Marinette just before I reach the window."
In Marinette's mind, there was only one thought.
SHIT.
"Wait, wait, WHAT? You're Ladybug, as the, Ladybug?! OMG GIRL YOU OWE ME SO MANY EXPLANATIONS"
"…Calm… down?"
Adrien couldn't believe his eyes. He's started growing suspicious last week. But… his princess was also his lady? Did that make her his Queen? Agh!
…He's fallen for the same girl twice.
Well done, Agreste.
Tikki didn't look convinced, so Marinette added, "All the practice I have as Ladybug with swinging around the city has made me so much better in gym class. I'll just have to plan my swing carefully."
Swinging open the door to the top of the building, Marinette raced out onto the flat roof, transforming into Ladybug mid-stride. She skidded to a stop at the edge of the building, kneeling down to search for her classroom. Thankfully it wasn't difficult- the science classroom was in a corner of the building, and there were three sets of windows. The one that was the furthest back in the classroom was opened. She'd have to swing out ever-so-slightly to get the right angle and transform and exactly the right time. If it didn't work, well... she would have a lot of explaining to do, to say the least.
But she was Ladybug, so it would work.
"Confident much?"
"Ha, ha, very funny"
Ladybug took a couple steps back, judging the angle she would need. The window tilted to open, so she needed to come in between the frame and the bottom of the glass panels. She could also try to go through the space in the top of the window, where the glass went into the classroom, but it would be harder because she would have to take into account the ceiling and she would have to be flying as Marinette for further.
"Bottom then"
Bottom of the window it was, then.
"See?"
She would have to transform back under and to the side of the window so that the flash of her transformation's release wouldn't be visible. Thankfully it was sunny, not even a single cloud in the sky, which would also mask the flash.
Hopefully nobody in the next class over would notice Ladybug swinging past the window, or at least not mention it to Madam Mendeleiev.
"That's hoping too much"
"Leave me alone in my fantasy world"
Ladybug's hand flashed out to secure her yo-yo to the roof as she started running. She pushed off slightly to get the correct angle as she left the roof, her eyes fastened on the spot she had selected to release her transformation.
So far, so good.
She turned back to Marinette in just the right place and immediately had to shove down the jolt of panic that holy hell, she was flying through the air at second floor level without her yo-yo in order to grab the windowsill and yank herself into the classroom.
"Holy crap, girl, you do this daily?"
"You could say so"
"Wow"
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Adrien-
"Aaaand there I come, getting involved in fanfics"
"Boy, that never means something positive"
"Thanks for the encouragement and support"
"Anytime"
-chewed on the end of his pencil as he tried to work through the first problem. It was a tough one, and the right equation just wasn't coming to mind. The weather wasn't helping at all- outside, it was an absolutely gorgeous day. He turned to glance out the window, letting out a small sigh at the cloudless day.
And then Marinette flew into view.
"Literally"
Adrien couldn't stop his jaw from dropping as she caught the edge of the open window, twisting herself just so to propel herself into the middle of the classroom. Marinette flipped easily over the row of tables closest to the window before dropping into the aisle with a small thud right next to Adrien's seat. Kim, the only other person not working on the physics problem, gaped openly until Marinette's glare made his eyes drop back to his paper.
"Girl, again with the death glare?"
"Had to, it's very risky"
Madame Mendeleiev paused in her writing at the sound, and Marinette cursed quietly before scooting behind Adrien's chair to hide while the instructor scanned the classroom. Adrien dropped his eyes to his paper when she looked in his direction. Soon she gave a small huff and turned back to the board, writing yet another problem out for them to do.
"Wow, managed to hide behind him, that's progress"
Poor girl couldn't be more embarrassed.
"Stop it"
Adrien turned around in his chair to watch as Marinette scooted out from behind him and somersaulted back to her spot.
"I'm surprised, to say the least"
A hand shot up to slide her notebook and calculator into place before Marinette popped up in her chair, looking as though she had been there the entire time.
Adrien glanced around the classroom. Surprisingly, other than Kim, most people hadn't noticed Marinette's spectacular entrance into class, too busy trying to work out the problems Madam Mendeleiev had assigned. It was a pity, really- that had been nothing short of a spectacular display of acrobatics- but it was probably better for Marinette if no one noticed her late exit, no matter how cool it looked.
"You think it was cool?"
"Yup"
"How come they didn't notice a fucking flying girl entering through the window and a thud?" The reporter said, amazed.
"Ah, babe, Fanfiction magic!"
"Wasn't it TV magic?"
"Fanfiction magic"
As soon as the last number was on the board, Madam Mendeleiev turned around to take attendance. Adrien returned his gaze to his paper, a small smile gracing his lips. The instructor had definitely noticed Marinette's absence when locking the door. What she would think about the girl's sudden appearance was anyone's guess.
Less than a minute later, there was a gasp of surprise from the front of the classroom. Adrien glanced up with a small grin to see Madam Mendeleiev staring at Marinette. "You weren't here when the bell rang!"
"Of course she was!"
"Of course I was, Madam Mendeleiev," Marinette said in the most innocent voice Adrien had ever heard.
"My god, girl. My poor cinnamon roll"
"HEY! That's my title!"
"You locked the door. I wouldn't be in class now if I hadn't already been inside when the bell rang."
Adrien grinned down at his paper. Sound logic.
"…Actually, it's logic as hell"
"But- you definitely weren't there when I closed the door!" Madam Mendeleiev protested. "I would know, I checked to see who was missing when I locked the door!"
Most of the class was watching now, their expressions generally perplexed.
Marinette shrugged. "Maybe I was just bent over getting my notebook out when you checked earlier? I don't know."
The purple-haired instructor was positively seething now. Adrien suspected that she had been waiting for the chance to get Marinette in trouble all year and now her chance had somehow inexplicably been smashed to pieces. Adrien snuck a look back at Kim. The other boy rolled his eyes back. I'm not ratting her out.
When no one spoke up to support Madam Mendeleiev, she turned back around with a huff. She had no choice but to drop the subject; otherwise, she would look like she was losing her mind.
As the class went back to their work, Adrien's mind wandered again. He had seen Marinette flip in the open window- the open second-floor window. It should have been impossible to do, too dangerous for anyone to even attempt...
...Unless his classmate was Ladybug.
"…That's Marinette for you"
"Too much for being a shortie"
"HEY!"
Their argument was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Adrien?" Nathalie's voice called. "There are more people here"
The door opened and Alix, Juleka and Nathanaël stepped in.
"Wanna know an interesting site?" Alya asked.
"What she means is: WELCOME TO HELL" Adrien said, well, translated. Nathanaël gasped.
The door closed while they looked for the next story.
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
Next one may be "Of jealous cats and clueless bugs". I just wanted an embarrassing one and what's better than embarrass three people at once? Four people, but I haven't found one yet.
'Til next time!
