History FandomSpecificPlot / MiraculousLadybug

* [[RevengeFic "Salt fics"]] have been picking up steam as of late. These usually involve giving the RonTheDeathEater treatment to specific characters (Adrien and Alya are the most common victims, though Nino, the rest of Marinette's classmates, Mme Bustier, and other characters can get hit with it), striking [[VillainWithGoodPublicity Lila]] with some long-overdue LaserGuidedKarma (which is a fandom-specific plot in its own right), and generally setting up events so that Marinette [[EarnYourHappyEnding can get a happy ending]].

* After "Silencer" aired, a couple of Lukanette fics and scenarios started featuring Marinette getting closer to the other members of Kitty Section, along with them finding out the truth about Lila, and Marinette more often than not drifting apart from [[WeUsedToBeFriends Adrien, Alya and Nino]].

* A common fanfic plot involves either Marinette/Ladybug or Adrien/Chat Noir getting akumatized. In the latter case, his akumatized form is almost always a PaletteSwap of Chat Noir named Chat Blanc. [[spoiler:Leaked episode titles for Season 3 indicate that the latter is going to become AscendedFanon.]]

* Fics where everyone has one destined soulmate, and there is [[RedStringOfFate some magical way of finding/recognizing your soulmate]]. Marinette/Ladybug and Cat/Adrien will ''always'' be soulmates, but it's not uncommon for each of them to have two separate iterations of whatever that particular fic's RedStringOfFate is, one for their partner's civilian identity and one for their heroic identity. Another popular twist is to have Marinette's RedStringOfFate trigger on Cat Noir, and Cat's trigger on Marinette, leading them to have to deal with ([[TwoPersonLoveTriangle apparently]]) being in love with someone other than their bonded soulmate.

* After the twelve Chinese zodiac-based Miraculouses were revealed, people started creating fanfics and [=AUs=] where these get granted to various members of Marinette and Adrien's class.

* Aged-up fics tend to have Marinette working at Gabriel's company, often being groomed as his successor.

* Cat Noir [[FaceHeelTurn joining forces with Hawk Moth]] to get Ladybug's Miraculous, [[LukeIAmYourFather upon learning his true identity]].

* As soon as the preview came out, it became popular in the fandom to write [[FixFic fix fics]] for "Chameleon". A common trend is to either [[spoiler:have Marinette actually get akumatized and getting revenge against them]] or have [[AlphaBitch Chloé]] step in and [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech call out both Lila and the class]]. [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs Or both.]] Another popular concept is Marinette [[ThisIsUnforgivable losing all trust in any of her friends]] and changing schools, or Alya and the rest of the class eventually come to their senses about their unfair treatment towards Marinette and apologize for it.

* In fics featuring Adrien and Marinette's kids, it is common for them to try and use Tikki and Plagg as chew toys.

** After the twelve Chinese zodiac-based Miraculouses were revealed, people started creating fanfics and [=AUs=] where these get granted to various members of Marinette and Adrien's class.

** Going on from that, stories in which Adrien and Marinette have learnt each other's true identities and are publicly dating/married in their civilian personae (being publicly involved in their Miraculous identities optional), only to be caught making out while ''one'' of them is transformed (i.e. Adrien is caught kissing Ladybug, or Marinette kissing Cat Noir).

* Felix, Marinette's prototypical LoveInterest prior to being replaced, being Adrien's elder brother. For what it's worth, when he shows up, they downplay his cold and jerkish tendencies to be a somewhat nicer brother. To go along with that, the beta version of Marinette, who fans have decided to nickname "Bridgette" for mostly unknown reasons, also pops up in this kind of fanon, more often than not as Marinette's sister.

* When a fic has Marinette and Adrien hooking up while still at school, it often turns out the whole class was betting on when it will happen. Sometimes Mari's parents are in as well.

* Cat Noir [[FaceHeelTurn joining forces with Hawk Moth]] to get Ladybug's Miraculous, [[LukeIAmYourFather upon learning his true identity]].

* Stories involving one or more of the remaining Miraculouses being given to new holders. Typical candidates include Nino becoming the holder of the Turtle Miraculous (usually being mentored by a retiring Master Fu), Chloe getting the Bee Miraculous ([[spoiler:soon to be canon]]), and the Fox Miraculous going to Lila, Nathanael or Alya ([[spoiler:likewise, soon to be canon]]). The Peacock Miraculous doesn't show up as often (due to it currently being in the hands of Gabriel Agreste) and has become more of a wildcard, though Alya has received it in a few fics (usually written [[spoiler:before the announcement of her becoming the Fox holder]]), and Nathalie is becoming a popular choice. There are also a number of AU fics where the Ladybug and/or Black Cat Miraculouses go to different people and Marinette and/or Adrien get different ones - Ladybug!Adrien and Chat Noir!Marinette is especially common.

* There are fics where the entirety of Miss Bustier's class will watch their own show. Of course, this would result in them finding out who Ladybug and Cat Noir are. Additional characters such as Marinette's parents, Nadja Chamack, and even Gabriel Agreste can join in watching the show.

* Stories involving the heroes being forced to separate in the aftermath of Hawkmoth's defeat without getting to reveal their identities, before being brought back together years later. This can be played in a number of ways depending on whether or not the two still have their Miraculous, or whether or not Gabriel Agreste is Hawkmoth.
