A common trope is the 'underwater adventure' trope. The fanfiction often takes Marinette on exciting adventures underwater. She might explore lost underwater cities, find hidden treasures, or encounter ancient sea monsters. This allows for a lot of world - building and showcases the beauty and danger of the underwater world. Also, the 'fish - out - of - water' (pun intended) trope is used when Marinette has to adjust to her new mermaid form and the underwater lifestyle.
One popular trope is the 'Secret Identity Discovery'. In many fanfictions, Marinette or Cat Noir accidentally discovers the other's identity. This leads to a whole new dynamic in their relationship, with lots of drama, shock, and sometimes even some initial mistrust that they have to work through.
One great fanfiction could be where Marinette discovers she has mermaid powers while still being Ladybug. It might start with her finding a strange shell that gives her the ability to transform into a mermaid. In the story, she could use her mermaid form to access new parts of Paris that are underwater, like hidden caves. This would add an exciting new dimension to her adventures as Ladybug and also her relationship with Adrien. Maybe she has to keep her mermaid identity a secret from him at first, which would create some interesting drama.
Well, one popular type is where Marinette has to take on a dual role of being Ladybug and also using the Peacock Miraculous. These fanfictions often explore how she balances the two identities and powers. Another popular theme is Marinette using the Peacock Miraculous to go back in time or access different dimensions. It adds an exciting twist to the story.
One popular trope is the 'Power Swap'. This is where the characters from Miraculous Ladybug get the powers of the Power Rangers and vice versa. It creates interesting scenarios as they have to adapt to new powers and fighting styles. For example, Ladybug using a Power Ranger's sword - like weapon instead of her yoyo.
A common trope is the crossover of magic systems. The magic spells in Harry Potter and the powers of the Miraculous are combined in unique ways. For instance, using a spell to enhance the power of a Miraculous transformation. Also, the 'lost in a new world' trope is popular, with characters from either universe finding themselves in the other and having to figure things out. There are often team - up scenarios too, where characters from both series join forces against a common threat that somehow involves both worlds.
The 'Evil AU' (Alternate Universe) is quite popular. In these fanfictions, the characters are often in different roles, like Marinette or Adrien being the villain. It's interesting to see how the story unfolds in such a different setting and how the characters' personalities are changed.
The characters themselves are very appealing. Marinette is a relatable clumsy but talented girl, and Adrien is the charming model. Fanfiction gives the opportunity to put them in different scenarios, like going on a normal date or dealing with a non - supervillain - related problem together. Writers can explore their personalities more in - depth.
The Miraculous Ladybug universe itself is really popular. And Marinette, being the main female character and Ladybug, has a central role. Fanfiction allows fans to explore her character more deeply. For example, they can write about her untold adventures, her thoughts and feelings that might not be fully explored in the original show. It gives a chance to expand on her story and relationships, which is very appealing to fans.
Some fanfictions focus on the mermaid - like powers of the characters. For example, they might have the ability to control water currents or create underwater illusions. This power exploration often ties into the overall plot as they use these powers to overcome challenges. Another popular theme is the clash between the land - based superhero world and the underwater mermaid world. How the characters adapt to this new environment and the cultural differences between the two worlds is an interesting aspect that many fanfictions explore.
One possible scenario could be that Marinette gets injured during a fight as Ladybug and is rushed to the hospital. In the fanfiction, her friends might come to visit her, and there could be some sweet moments between her and Adrien as he's worried about her. Maybe she has to keep her identity a secret even while in the hospital, which adds an extra layer of tension.
