''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6444427/ Ruined With You]]'' is an ongoing ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' fanfiction written by [=TheGabbing=] and published at Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn.
Two years since her graduation. Two years since she and Chat captured Hawkmoth. Two years since she ruined Adrien Agreste's life. And two years since she saw Chat Noir. Wracked with guilt after revealing Adrien's father was Hawkmoth, Marinette gave up anything she could have had for Adrien. She threw herself into her dream of becoming a fashion designer, ignoring her guilt and regret for what could have been with both Chat Noir and Adrien. But when he comes back to Paris unexpectedly, Marinette finds herself back into a tense friendship with Adrien. Navigating a friendship, and perhaps something more, with the boy whose life you ruined, is easier said than done.

* BetaCouple: As usual, Nino and Alya, who get together shortly after Nino returns from America. He soon decides to stay in Paris for her.
* BigWhat: Adrien gets a couple of these, first when his father names him the new CEO, and then when Nino asks him if he's dating Marinette yet.
* HeroWithBadPublicity: Thanks to his father, Adrien's reputation and modelling career have now suffered, with numerous Paris designers unwilling to work with him, prompting him to move to America for two years. When he returns to find the situation hasn't changed, he contacts Marinette and asks for help with a scheduled photoshoot.
* IHaveNoSon: Inverted when Adrien tells Gabriel he's not his father.

* NeverGotToSayGoodbye: After Chat Noir found out their recently apprehended nemesis was his father, he left Ladybug with him and went straight to Master Fu to return the Black Cat Miraculous. They both knew they would have to do this anyway to allow the kwami to hibernate, but Adrien chose to not wait for Ladybug, robbing them of the chance to finally unmask for each other.
