Borrowed Time

3 parts Ongoing Mature

In this captivating reimagining of the Miraculous universe, Marinette Dupain-Cheng is not the shining beacon of hope we know. As Shadybug, she shoulders the immense burden of protecting Paris in a reality where heroism is darker, the stakes are higher, and mistakes cut deeper. Paired with the ever-charming yet mysterious Chat Noir, Marinette struggles to balance her life as a flawed superhero with the trials of being a teenager. High school is hard enough without the weight of secrets. Marinette must navigate friendships, budding love, and rejection-all while fighting Hawkmoth's relentless ambushes and grappling with her own insecurities. As battles rage and truths begin to surface, she discovers that saving her city comes with impossible choices, heartbreak, and the constant threat of failure. Through pain, destruction, and quiet moments of hope, Borrowed Time explores themes of identity, resilience, and the razor-thin line between heroism and ruin. For Marinette, every decision matters, every connection is fragile, and time is never on her side. With its unique twist on beloved characters and a world brimming with tension and angst, this story invites you to experience the Miraculous universe like never before.
