《Marinette One-Shots》Secret -Chloenette- pts 1, 2, and 3
Advertisement
Marinette and Chloe were friends. Actually no. They are more than friends. They're Girlfriends. Chloe was scared how her dad would take it, so they kept it a secret. Hiding it by Chloe pretending to be mean and 'bullying' Marinette. Adrien had stumbled upon a rather. . . intense make out session. He agreed to let both girls pretend to have a crush on him, but not date either. Not crush their supposed hearts.
"Marinette, wanna hang out?" Alya asked with a smile, hoping that Marinette could. Marinette smiled sadly. "Oh, Alya. I can't. I'm sorry." Alya smiled knowingly,
"Alright Girl." Marinette hugged Alya and said "Thanks Alya. You're the best." and turned running off. Alya, curious about why Marinette was so busy, followed her. To say she was surprised when Marinette ran into an alleyway and didn't come out, would be an understatement,
When Alya grew to curious she peaked around the corner, but there was no-one in the alley. She sighed, where did this girl go?
"Tikki Spots on!" Marinette yelled once she arrived at a secluded alley far enough away from her school to be helpful. After she transformed, she yoyo'd to the Epiel Tower. Reaching the top, she sat down, and waited. Chloe had promised she would come, and Marinette couldn't pass up that chance. Marinette was suddenly reminded of how Chloe had found out she was ladybug.
"Chloe Bourgeois, do you accept the Bee Miraculous, and promise not to reveal your identity" Chloe nodded and smiled, "Of course, my bug." Marinette's eyes widened, and Chloe grinned,
"Really Marinette? Did you think I wouldn't recognize you my love?" Marinette sputtered, and Chloe laughed. "it's ok love, we could keep our relationship more to our superhero side, and never have to worry about my dad." Marinette grinned at her Girlfriend's brilliance. "You're brilliant!!" (I know) "We should. You could keep the Bee Miraculous and become a permanent part of the team!"
And after the Akuma fight Princess Honey pulled Ladybug into a kiss, and Ladybug kissed her back, Chat Noir was. . . his expression was purely shock and confusion, with some outrage. When Ladybug pulled back from the kiss, she seemed. . . happier. "Pound it!" Ladybug said, holding out a fist to Chat, the other arm raped around Princess Honey's waist. Chat slowly raised his hand and fist-bumped her. "Ladybug?" He asked, almost as if hoping it wasn't true.
"Yes?" Chat was shocked, LB still hadn't removed her arm from Princess Honey "Is she?" Ladybug smiled softly.
"Chat, this is my Girlfriend, Princess Honey." Chat was outraged "She knOWS YOUR IDENTITY?!" Ladybug flinched back into Princess Honey, and Princess Honey spoke harshly,
"Shut up you stupid cat! You have no idea what is going on her life! How much she's been hurt! Even her closest friends don't. . . ." Chat looked so shocked and heartbroken, and Ladybug looked. . . you couldn't identify her expression. "Honey. . . they don't need to know. And neither did Chat." Princess Honey turned around so fast, you almost wouldn't have seen the movement.

"Absolutely not! You are not allowed to do this! You ARE worth it! You ARE awesome! You ARE kind! You ARE perfectly fit! You ARE perfect! I love you, even if those idiots you call parents don't. You ARE allowed to be hurt, you ARE allowed to be broken, You ARE allowed to be not ok! You can put down the mask that makes everyone think you're happy! You're beautiful, and I love you." Ladybug smiled. "Thank you." Chat spoke up again, "What. . what just happened?" Ladybug and Princess Honey looked at each other, and Ladybug said,
"Uh. . . my parents. . .. are abusive." Chat gasped and hugged her, while wondering how it was possible such a sweet angel with such a real positive attitude could handle that without breaking.
When they hopped off the rooftop Alya came running up, and although Alya didn't notice, Chloe stiffened up. "Ladybug! Are a into guys?" Ladybug chuckled and shook her head. "Yes, but I prefer girls." then Alya turned to PH
"Princess Honey! Are you in a relationship with Ladybug??" Ladybug and Princess Honey looked at each other, than nodded. Alya turned to her phone's camera, and said, "Well, there you have it folks. Ladybug and Princess honey is a thing! Let's get shiping,"
"My bug?" Chloe said, startling Marinette out of her thoughts. "Honey!" Ladybug said jumping up and pulling Princess Honey in for a kiss. "Hi Bee." she whispered when they pulled apart.
Marinette still half asleep and had forgot to cover the bruises. When Marinette entered the classroom Chloe saw her and rushed over with a concerned expression.
"Marinette! Oh sweetie, it happened again didn't it?" Chloe asked, her voice so soft, Marinette couldn't even look her in the eyes, she just nodded. Chloe pulled her in for a hug, and Marinette started sobbing. "Oh hun. It'll be ok. You wanna stay at mine?" Marinette looked up into Chloe's eyes, her own so broken, so hurt. Marinette nodded, and Chloe guided Marinette to her seat,
"Sabrina, I know I said I would sit by you, but. . ." Sabrina smiled brightly, "It's ok Chloe. She clearly needs your attention more." Chloe smiled gratefully. Sabrina got up and sat in Marinette's spot, next to Alya, and Chloe sat down, turned to Marinette, who was crying into her shoulder.
The class was just stunned. What was happening? Why had Marinette gone to Chloe? What did Chloe mean by again? How was Chloe so nice all the sudden? What was going on?!
When class ended Chloe and Marinette were still there, Marinette had stopped crying, and was cuddling with Chloe. Suddenly she looked up, and although she whispered it, her words cut through the silence like a knife.
"I'm so sorry Chlo, I shouldn't push my problems on you." Chloe's face tightened and she whispered "Marinette, my love, you ARE NOT pushing your problems on me! Sweetness, you ARE my life, I need to know these things!" forgetting about the other people in the room, Chloe leaned down and kissed Marinette. And if the class wasn't surprised by that than they were surprised when Marinette kissed back.

Chloe suddenly got up and ran across the room, drawing the eyes of those present, (I mean, she WAS a bully to their friend!!!) they turned their attention to the door, and were surprised to see Marinette, not as she usually looked, all smile-y, no. They saw bruises, and scrapes, and Marinette looked. . . truly heartbroken. Chloe's expression went from concerned to scared, to sad.
"Marinette! Oh sweetie, it happened again didn't it?" Chloe asked, her voice so soft, it scared the people in the classroom. Marinette wouldn't look into Chloe's eyes, she looked at her shoes, and slowly nodded, scaring everyone. What was happening to Marinette? How did Chloe of all people know about it? Had this happened before? Chloe pulled Marinette into a hug, and expecting Marinette to push her away and snap something sassy at her, they were surprised when Marinette just leaned into Chloe, and started sobbing. Such a heartbreaking sound.
"Oh hun. It'll be ok. You wanna stay at mine?" Chloe asked, starling the class. Why did Chloe, Marinette's bully, care so much?? Marinette looked up into Chloe's eyes, and even from across the room you could see how hurt she was, how broken, even though she hid it, even though she hid it well.
Marinette nodded, and Chloe guided Marinette to her seat, "Sabrina, I know I said I would sit by you, but. . ." Sabrina smiled brightly, "It's ok Chloe. She clearly needs your attention more." Chloe smiled gratefully. Sabrina got up and sat in Marinette's spot, next to Alya, and Chloe sat down, turned to Marinette, who was crying into her shoulder.
Marinette was sobbing, she couldn't hold it inside, even for fear of being Akumatized, she sobbed, and Hawkmoth sent an Akuma.
"Porcelain Lady, I am Hawkmoth. You have been hurt, and you want revenge on those who nearly killed you and didn't care. I can give you the power to have revenge, in return you must give me the Miraculous."
Marinette couldn't fight him- or maybe she didn't want to.
"Yes Hawkmoth." the last conscious thing she did, was throw her earrings at Tikki and Tikki, in turn, flew to Chloe.
~Skip to the conversation before the battle~
"Marinette! You don't have to do this!" Princess Honey cried out, she didn't want to fight her love.
"I'm not Marinette! I'm the Porcelain Lady!" Princess Honey gasped, and crumpled, understanding exactly why Marinette's name was the one it was. The new (AND TEMPORARY) Ladybug asked the fated question. "Why are you the Porcelain Lady??" The Porcelain Lady's painted smiled looked twisted, and she laughed.
"Because, I've never been me. I always have to be someone else. A happy girl, a positive influence, a perfect human, a painted lady, expected to smile. A painted girl on a porclen face. I break to easily, but I've known how to HIDE it all my life. I DON'T WANT TO BE HAPPY! I'M WANT TO BE NOT OKAY! I'm sick of the Abuse, I'm sick of it all. The only bright spot in my ENTIRE LIFE is my girlfriend. And we have to keep our relationship a secret." Everyone that could here this gasped, for a few reasons,
1-Marinette was keeping up an ACT, the girl they knew, WASN'T REAL.
2- Marinette was abused, and nobody had ever suspected.
3- Marinette had a secret Girlfriend
"C'mon Marinette!! You know it's me!" Princess Honey called her her girlfriend, Chat and Ladybug gave her weird looks, but then something clicked for Chat. "Chloe? Holy hell! That means Marinette is-" Princess Honey slammed her hand over his mouth and nodded. Then she turned back to the Akuma, and caught it's attention, and de-transformed.
"Pollen, Buzz off!" a blinding yellow flash faded, and left Chloe standing there, looking insanely worried. Marinette FORCED the Akuma out, and collapsed, Princess Honey barely had time to catch her.
"Hawkmoth," Marinette started, her voice re-vibrating, so everyone could hear it. "I'm deeply sorry about your wife, but that is No reason to TERRORIZE an ENTIRE city by making them block out their feelings!"
and they all lived happily after.
PART THREE
Marinette had never been happier. She was finally able to express her emotions without fear of becoming Akumatized, as Hawkmoth had realized he was a fucking idiot and given up.... but Marinette had Tikki help her, and they 'revived' woke up his wife.
Her parents had lost custody of her, and lost the Bakery. Her 'uncle' Jagged (Stone) had adopted her,
And Mayor Bourgeois accepted that his daughter was a Lesbian, and that she was dating a girl. So they didn't have to hide their relationship anymore.
Marinette and Alya had had a sleepover the night before, and Marinette laid on the floor just staring at the ceiling, wondering just how her life had changed for the better so rapidly. It almost felt un-real.
A light bing snapped Marinette back into reality. Checking her phone, Marinette smiled.
Hey bug! I was wondering if you wanna go on a date tonight?
Abso-fucking-lutly!
Awesome!
Alright, I'll meet you at ******* at 8!
Alright!
See you there!
Marinette turned away from Chloe for a second, they were at the top of the Eiffel tower, as they had walked there after getting dinner. Marinette felt Chloe withdrawal her arms from around Marinette's waste, and she turned to ask Chloe,
but when she turned she was greeted with the sight of the love of her life, on one knee.
"Marinette Stone, You have always been there for me and Marinette, you are the love of my life, will you marry me?" Marinette's hand flew to her mouth, and her eyes started to fill with tears. She couldn't even speack, all she managed to do was nod.

Sword System Academia
2/17 NOTICE: I'm putting this on hiatus, possibly permanently. I didn't want to spam with an "update chapter", so hopefully here and in the story blurb will get enough eyeballs. There are a couple reasons for ending SSA for now. 1) I wrote the next chapter but wasn't happy with it. I've been less and less satisfied with SSA's quality the more I thought about it. Part of the reason is... 2) I am seriously thinking about trying to publish some novels to help pay the bills, since I don't have my other source of income anymore. I have never asked for anything from SSA readers, no money, not even a review or rating. SSA is written for fun to amuse myself, primarily, and I would kind of feel bad actually charging someone money for something as unserious as that. I don't think it is good enough to ask anything in return. To use an analogy from music, SSA is more like a jam session with a bunch of friends. You're just chiling and having fun playing some music. I mean, if you are Mozart or even Eminem, your jam session is good enough to sell, but for an amateur beginner like myself, haha, no. If I want to publish something, I feel like I need to go the proper route of practice and rehearsals, which might be more similar to a classical concert performance. With SSA, I work from worldbuilding notes and a loose outline, but what you are essentially getting is the first draft with lots of so-called pantsing. Pushing out a web novel like this also means it is very difficult to go back and improve things without breaking everything else downstream. I wanted to try this "jamming" approach, as it was a good way to teach me about another aspect of writing, but to move forward, I think I need to hone my "classical" techniques, which emphasize rewriting, or at least, revising outlines. 3) While I intend to try to make $$$, my actual current goal is to "get gud". I've spent a lot of time recently trying to understand the self-publishing industry, and I'm pretty sure I can make some money by using short-term strategies with my current amateur skill level. But I've seen too many authors come and go/burnout, and really, the only way that I think I can enjoy writing and still make money on a long-term basis is to become a better writer. And the next step for me, which I haven't done much before, is to spend more time on rewriting and outlines. That is pretty much antithetical to the way SSA is developing. I've always been kind of 20/80 plotting/pantsing, but I want to spend a lot more time outlining before I even start writing. SSA jam sessions don't really fit my goal anymore. If you're curious about what's next, read on... Among other regrets, I regret not finishing SSA. It's the first story I've dropped, but then again, it's the first web novel I've attempted, so I suppose that's not a surprise. I don't think traditional web novel formats suit me that well. The whole SSA story I had loosely planned (beyond a first book or major arc) is way too large as well. Big story = good for neverending webnovel with Patreons, bad for penniless and fickle writer like me. I am currently outlining a complete trilogy to another story in great detail. I want the story to end concisely, and I also want the chance to really spend a lot of time on the full outline to spot pacing problems, character issues, lost themes, and so on. I'll still share this story on RR. What I intend to do is finish book 1, flash-publish the whole thing here for a few weeks, then publish on the big Zon. Repeat for books 2 and 3. The upcoming story will be about crafting heroes. The backdrop is an isekai-like setting, where elves will summon humans to their world as heroes, but the whole hero crafting business is still in its infancy. The elven mage researchers are figuring out how to imbue heroes with power, while the heroes are trying to figure out how to use the powers that they gain. Humans are the best hero templates because they are blank and have no intrinsic magic. Or at least that what the elves thought. The human MC has his own secrets... There will be some similarities with litrpgs, but I would call it more a progression fantasy or gamelit story. For example, the stats are very low, at least initially. Say we have a stat called Str. Going from Str = 1 to Str = 2 is a huge deal. Also, going from Dex = 0 to Dex = 1 is an even bigger deal. I guess you could call it a "low-stat litrpg", haha. Also, the heroes won't be gaining stats simply by killing things or leveling up. You can't increase stats arbitrarily, either. There will be rules to how stats can increase, and how they work with each other. The elven mages will be figuring out these rules in order to craft stronger and stronger heroes. Some inspiration will be from cultivation magic systems, but there won't be overt cultivation, at least for now. A theme I really want to explore is the idea of interactions. That includes things like hero crafter vs hero, tactics vs strategy, skill synergies, racial interactions (dwarves, elves, etc), and son. Yeah, so hero crafting. I'm super excited about this project and venturing into publishing. If you want to check out the upcoming story, you can follow my RR author profile to see when it drops here. Finally... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! I'm very sorry that SSA is stopping, but I hope at least some of you will find the next story at least as enjoyable, if not more. Thanks to all the readers who gave SSA a shot. Big hug or solid fistbump to all of you, whichever you prefer! I hope this message is not a downer but an upper, because I am psyched!! -purlcray -------------- BLURB: Talen, youngest Master of the Koroi, makes his way to the Empire's capital to salvage his clan's fate. But the bustling city has few opportunities for the traditionalist. For the old sword clans are fading. With the rise of alchemy, gold can purchase strength that ordinarily took years of training to cultivate. Sword artists, once rare and accomplished, are quickly growing in number, especially among the wealthy noble class. Even with such alchemy, though, no one has advanced to the rank of Grandmaster in countless years. Talen's true dream is to walk the path of a sword artist to the very end while fulfilling his clan duties. And then the Swordgeists return, fabled founders of all sword arts, gods who had touched the world long ago and vanished. These myths turned into reality warn of a coming threat. Alongside this warning, they issue an invitation to the Sword System Academy, a path to power beyond the mortal realm. But first, they will hold an entrance exam... Story notes:Sword System Academia blends elements of western and asian fantasy such as xianxia and litrpg. I took parts from different genres I enjoyed and twisted them into my own creation. There will be an explicit system, both of the litrpg kind and the hard(ish) magic kind, but it is embedded within an academic structure that will develop over the course of the story. This is my attempt to design a unique type of system, the System Academia.

Sanctuary
A girl searching for someone. A boy who lost his memories. A man from another world. A woman trying to prove her worth. Follow along as this unlikely group of people join forces to help each other accomplish their own goals in this non-epic fantasy adventure. Fair Warning: This fiction contains many of the well-known light novel tropes, though I try to give them my own spin. If you’re tired of them by now, you might want to keep away. There are no demon lords however, nor any end-of-the-world cataclysm situation that only the MC can solve. This story is more about different people coming together and helping each other out to achieve their own goals and objectives.

The Cosmic and the Fair
When magic comes crashing into the world, humans are swept away. When they come trickling back, they are changed. Many of them have been transformed into elves, dwarves, trolls... and now one succubus. Magic is wondrous, dangerous, and inextricably linked to all living things. But succubi have to take it from other people, and for a succubus dropped far away from any communities big enough to sustain her, that's a problem. Luckily for Persephone Evans, she's got help. She has a fancy unique class and a companion. But both gifts come with strings attached, and why did she have to teach the succubus on her shoulder what 'consent' means? This is my first story! Note: The prologue differs wildly in tone from the rest of the story. I'm playing it safe on the tags. I don't think the story really deserves the profanity or gore content warnings, but the main character does swear and get hurt. That said, the main character is a succubus. Sexual content is a given.
