-AU- Marinette Dupain-Cheng's life isn't going as planned: twenty-six, recently dumped, and running her parents' bakery. The highlights of her day are the emails sent by her mysterious pen pal, Chat Noir. That is, until handsome model Adrien Agreste starts swinging by the bakery after hours. But how is he to know the Ladybug he loves is standing right in front of him?

(inspired by lovelyblogtime's tumblr prompt/post) Women all over Paris have been falling into a coma-like sleep, the perpetrator unknown and its latest victim was near their school. Can Ladybug and Chat Noir figure out who's behind this epidemic? Or has this new villain set its sights on sweet Marinette?

Marinette has caught the eye of one of her classmates. However, when she turns him down because of her feelings towards Adrien, the water gets choppy. Jealous makes for a nasty akuma and mistakes lead to Ladybug being unable to act. By the time Marinette's through this, some of her secrets aren't going to stay so secret.
