《Marinette One-Shots》Reasons To Stay
Advertisement
Jagged Stone's adopted daughter, the famous music artist Nettie, released a new song, with a reveal, and everyone was waiting for it to start on the News
"Don't be bemused! It's just the news, you're here with Nadja Chamack. Today we'll be reviewing the new music video by Nettie! Apparently, she'll finally be revealing her identity! Let's get into it!" after Nadja finished talking, the beginning of the video was pulled up. It showed Nettie with her tell-tale mask sitting on a Bridge overseeing the Seine. She took a deep breath, and you could tell she'd been crying. She began her song,
"I've been driving around here in this town
Know it like the back of my hand
I've been dreaming of ways, ways to get out
Put myself in a box that I'd never be
Someone I'm proud of you see
Here I am on this bridge facing defeat"
Marinette was sick of Paris, of Lila, and her lies, of those who believed Lila over her, of life. She just had to get out of this god-forsaken town.
Because they had finally driven her to the edge. She didn't believe in herself anymore. She was never proud of anything she was anymore. She hated herself, and her failures, with every fiber of her being. She was ready to jump, even if she knew she couldn't.
"I'm just doing the best I can
I'm just living in the life I have
I'm confused but I'm fine with that
The beauty will outweigh the pain
From the chill of the autumn wind
And the laugh of your sister's kid
To the first snow when it sets in
The beauty will outweigh the pain
We'll all find a purpose one day
There's so many reasons to stay"
Marinette knew she was doing her best, the best she could, Marinette was just living the life she'd been forced into. With her parents, and their abuse, and then Ladybug, and then. . . Lila, but then good things had happened too. Jagged had adopted her, she'd made new friends, this was her life now, and she wouldn't trade it for the world.

Marinette didn't want to live anymore. She didn't want to die, that wouldn't help anybody. But she didn't want to live. She wanted to reach out, she wanted to get help, but how do you tell someone that? She'd been bottling up her emotions for so long, even before Hawkmoth and his butterfly's, she didn't know how to let someone into her mind. Marinette just wanted to survive, and be happy, but that, wasn't that beyond her reach now?
""
Nettie grabbed her mask, and flung it below, into the Seine, revealing herself to be Marinette Dupain-Cheng, well, now it was Marinette Stone. Taking a shaky breath, Marinette continued the song.
"I'm just doing the best I can
I'm just living in the life I have
I'm confused but I'm fine with that
The beauty will outweigh the pain
We'll all find a purpose one day
We all have a reason to stay"
Marinette turned to the camera and told her story.
"My name was Marinette Dupain-Cheng, I was the daughter of Tom and Sabine, but unlike how thy may have looked to everyone else, they weren't good parents. They taught me I was worthless, they taught me to give all I had to help others, because I was hopeless myself, they beat me when I was nice to myself, or when I was anything less then perfect. I didn't know it then, but they were abusive. So, from the time I was a child till now, I've been bottling my emotions, you tell me. Would I have been a good Akuma with so much raw emotions I've hidden from the world, from my friends? Anyways, not to long ago, I became the ultra famous Ladybug, giving my ALL to protect those who didn't care, protecting those I cared for, protecting those that hurt me. Because I wasn't supposed to pay attention to myself, everyone else was more important. Then, a girl, a liar came into my life, she took away my reason for living, she took my friends, and got them to hate me with her lies. Despite everything that's happened to me, there were some good things. For example, Lila made me get real friends, friends who care, friends who want to help me. But I can't do it. I'm sorry Paris, I'm sorry Chloe, Alix, Kagami, Luka, Jagged, Penny, I can't, I won't do this anymore." and with that, she leaned back, and said "I've lost my reasons to stay. Goodbye Paris," and with that, Marinette transformed and teleported out of Paris.

There were a few seconds with a black screen before it shifted back to Nadja Chamack, who looked obviously stunned. She shook her head, and said, "Uh, so there you have it, Paris-" and the News cast was cut.

Shift (Ben 10+DCU Fanfiction)
Omnitrix+ DCU, what's not to like? The main character will not be Ben Tennyson, rather someone from our world who gains the Omnitrix Hello! This fanfiction Shift is what I wanted to do for an homage to what I thought were underrated pieces of media, Ben 10 and some DCU characters. However, I would be remiss if I didn’t add context to two of the major works that inspired Shift, Dial, and A Practical Guide to Evil. Dial is another ben 10 fanfiction, however that story takes place in the MCU, and with an adult that is already a grown-up at the beginning of the story. Dial, by my own accounts, is more superficially Like shift, even though the Omnitrix is a central device in both. My protagonist starts out around 18 years old, so is less serious and can build relationships with some of the junior justice league members, and then later on in the story meet the Justice League officially. The tone will be more light-hearted at the beginning of the story as teenagers are known to use sarcasm and jokes at each other’s expense. Furthermore, in Dial, the protagonist has a well-developed knowledge of the MCU which he uses to have knowledge on events and characters, that the character in Shift will not have. While the MC will have some knowledge of people's abilities, lesser-known characters and people's real identities will be not included as much, but the MC of Shift will have some knowledge. APGTE's influence is deeper than Dials'. The epigraphs at the beginning of every chapter are an example of that, a place for light-hearted jokes and worldbuilding that's not pure exposition, but I also want to incorporate narrative stories to Shift (heroes win more than lose, providence, etc) on a lighthearted scale. While the heroes of Shift will have to work to win against villains, the MC of Shift will be allowed limited precognition, through narratives tropes and archetypes as a trade-off of less knowledge of the DCU. For example, a villain a hero faces might monologue, but the MC will not instinctively know how to counter every villain they encounter. I also wanted to bring in more realism than usual superhero stories, ie: the MC cannot just walk and have a meeting with Batman or Superman, he would have to “work his way up” in terms of credibility and whatnot. The Aliens that show up in Shift I tried to make different than the ones in Dial, just to share the love for lesser-known characters. And to make it fairer for the villains of the DCU, the main character will not wantonly use if gain at all an Alien X or a ben 10 form of Kryptonians, just so the characters have to work a little bit for victory. I urge anyone reading to consider checking out both APGTE and Dial as they are both amazing works, and I hope you enjoy them. The beginning of how the MC enters the DCU will not be as important as him actually existing in that universe, so that is why a ton of time is not spent on that part of the story. Chapters will be around 2.5 thousand words and come out around every weekday.

GIG: God In Gold
So let's cut the pretense: this is some garbage-tier weaboo fiction. I have no idea what I'm doing, but I feel it's important to say that this is some nonsense I write for fun. I don't think it's very good. I'd even go as far as to say that I'm not a good writer at all. I picked up a ball that started rolling when I was a kid and have been intermittently punting it towards the next chapter whenever I feel like it. And you can come on this garbage ride too if you really feel like it. Who knows, maybe there's some gold to be salvaged from this dumpster fire? Synposis: Satou Shibuya is a first year student at Niflheim's Kawagusa General Academy. He's also the self-proclaimed strongest power user, sporting a big enough number on his birth certificate to make a nuclear bomb glow green with envy. There's something to be said about a person whose head is so far up their own ass that you find yourself watching their every move with bated breath, ever curious to see which hole they'll dig themselves into next. This is not that kind of story. This is a story about pride, coming of age, but actually, this is a story about big, stupid superpowered fights. Update Schedule: Whenever.
