《Marinette One-Shots》Little Sarah

"May I present Luka Stone with his new hit song, Little Mari!" the announcer shouted, and with the applause, Luka walked out onto the stage, moving over to the mic and saying, "This song is dedicated to it's inspiration, Marinette, may she rest peacefully." then he moved to the provided chair, sat down, and pulled out his Guitar, taking a deep breath, he began his song.
"Little Mari, you're a diamond in the rough And I know that you don't hear this all enough And I'm sure that's why your wrists have tons of cuts And I'm sure that's why you think you're not enough On your 19th birthday you thought that you were done Tons of people in your home, but it only felt like one"
Luka remembered her 19th birthday, they'd all had a ton of fun, well, they'd all seemed like they were having fun. Luka remembered when he'd asked her if she was alright, and how she'd broken down, so unused to people even caring.
""
Little did any of them know, but Marinette had had a loaded gun in her room, just waiting to be used on her, little did they know Marinette was falling apart, try'n not to pull the trigger. Little did they know she hadn't been sober in months, just wanting to feel ok.
""
Marinette was locked in a prison, behind her smile, behind her need to help them. God they were so foolish, never thinking that their always-happy-friend was hurting.
""
Luka remembered when Marinette started skipping, they'd not thought anything of it at first. It began to worry them when they found out she was smoking. They confronted her, asking why the hell she was skipping class to smoke weed, and why she wasn't ever high when she came back.
""
Marinette had yelled at them, telling them they wouldn't fucking understand, they wouldn't fit in her shoes, 'cause they didn't know what it was like. Afterwards, she'd apologized, telling them she'd been on a lot of painkillers, and she didn't mean it. . . . . . . . . . . and they'd fucking believed her. . . .

"Except for Sunday blues, but you got Monday blues And you got Tuesday blues damn every day ya might lose All your friends they wanna smoke cause it's a Friday But you've been smoking straight probably since last Sunday I know you know you shouldn't say that you are okay But you still look em in the eye and lie then go to use your ashtray She can barely see the pavement She can barely read the signs People think she's complicated But never wanna look inside Cause she's a little too R-rated And they're a little too damn blind She's just looking for her angels But they're a little hard to find."
They'd all been sad because of Akumas, they'd all mourned the deaths before the Miraculous cure 'fixed' it all. They didn't understand that Marinette was always sad, fighting so damn hard just to keep herself from dying, Marinette knew she shouldn't tell 'em she was ok, but what else could she do? She'd lied, time, and time again, saying she was alright.
""
She'd finally made the decision. Her cheeks were tear stained as she wrote her last words, saddened by the thought of leaving them, tears dripping onto the page, but happy to be out of her misery. Luka had called her, for something not important at all, and when she didn't respond, he got worried. Marinette always responded when she was awake, always, and Luka knew she was awake.
"Couldn't even hear a sound, couldn't feel a single thing Now it's 6:15 and you're on your knees, blood is on your sleeves, and your lungs won't breathe Eyes are watering, body's shivering, and you're wondering what is happening Now it's 6:23, and they're on their knees, begging Jesus please, can you make her breathe Cause they finally see what was happening underneath their nose and underneath your sleeves"

He'd called everybody, Alya, Nino, Adrien, Chloe, Kagami, and they'd rushed over to see if she was ok.
She wasn't she was dead by the time they got there, and they'd finally realized what had been happening while they turned a blind eye, because they were fucking oblivious.
Luka sucked in a deep breath, and finished his song, voice warbling with emotion.
""
Everyone in the room was crying. Finally, the announcer came to their senses, and said
"Uh, and that was Luka Stone Everyone!"

Knight and Smith
Secrets once thought lost are coming to light... Orin, a young thief turned mercenary, is returning to his home for the first time in four years. Orin wants nothing more than to reconnect with his family and settle down in the city he loves, but fate is fickle and has another destiny in mind for the swordsman. Now bound to the Princess of the Realm in ways he doesn't fully understand, Orin finds himself thrust into the world of Nobility, where no one can be truly trusted and his friends are few and far between. To ensure his survival, and that of the entire Kingdom, Orin must learn to harness the power of a Knight and work with the Princess Elora to protect those they both love, all while dealing with psychotic Knights, a mad King and Elora's own protectors. Well, if nothing else, I'm sure it will be an adventure. This is one of the ideas I've been working on for a while and wanted to see how far I can go with it. There's nothing really original here, just something fun I wanted to explore a bit more. Chapters will be posted once a week on Sundays at five pm GMT. Thank you for reading and I hope that you enjoy Knight and Smith!

The Featherlight Transmission
In the ancient desert metropolis of Wellspring City, magic is dead, and technology reigns supreme. Baulric Featherlight, one of thousands of street mages for hire, is summoned by the City Watch to assist with a particularly grisly murder - the deed was done by a rogue mage, and the fanatical Dynamic Brotherhood will have every arcanist in the city pay for it. The killer continues carving a line of death throughout all twenty sectors of the city, and anti-magic sentiment begins to rise. Will Featherlight's singular skills be enough to hunt down this elusive killer? Or will fear and old hatreds finally tear Wellspring City apart? (Cover art by the inestimable UncertaintyCrossing. You can find more of his enchanting works here.) hi! im the guy that wrote this story. i hope you like reading it. im bad at elevator pitches ^ and honestly, it's a little misleading. it's really just a detective noir with a few extras. if you like detective stories, this is a good one. it's got robots and magic and stuff too. have fun! (obligatory extra note: im an internet busker who subsists on the generosity of readers like you. if you haven't done your good deed for the day and you think my work is worth paying for, why not tip some spare change into my hat? i'd be awful appreciative ♥) [premium game of the year DLC edition edit: if you've read the whole thing for free and want to buy a copy for yourself, this dang ol' story is available for purchase on amazon now. it's not super special, but showing your support by buying it would make writing new ones a lot easier. thanks a million billion for reading either way ♥]
