Summary
Saving Arcadia Bay was the hardest decision that Max Caulfield ever made and it is very nearly one that she *didn't* live with until an entirely unexpected guardian angel came into her life and helped her make a future. Along the way, she found that the strangeness of life was not hers to bear alone.
This is a fic I've been slowly writing to show who Max Caulfield came after Life is Strange and how she became entangled with the protagonists of the other games in the fanchise.
Updates to continue weekly.

Rebel Storm by BenRG

Summary
In the aftermath of the victory over the first Death Star, the Rebel Alliance experienced a surge of recruitment of all sorts. With the extra manpower and resources, it was possible to replace Blue Squadron, which had been wiped out on the Battle of Scariff. However, the question was: Replace it with what? Red (Rogue) Squadron were the best fighter-interceptor squadron in the Rebellion; did they really need an identical establishment? Instead, High Command began building preparations for a more flexible force, inspired by Blue Squadron's exploits.
This is the story of what, in most worlds would be a band of misfits and how they affected the galaxy's history.
Few canon characters will be involved except in cameos. No Space Wizards, at least not at first.

Summary
So, with Coming of Age written, here is the promised and long-delayed short stories collections. Mostly, these will be single-character focus stories set in the world outside Riley's head but will, sometimes, include the voices of her emotions. This is all to tie off loose ends before we get into the final book of my continuation of Inside Out - Working Lyfe.

Summary
Not all of Team Miraculous's life is danger, resisting evil and adventure. There is also the everyday moments of life for them, their families and friends
This will be mostly slice-of-life shorts or little happy-happy moments in the lives of our heroes that I've never been able to find the space to stick into the main stories. Maybe the occasional romantic short too! Probably mostly Lovesquare variations but any ship shown in the Guardianverse stories, even in passing might be included.

Summary

The Guardianverse by BenRG
Fandom: Bayonetta (Video Games), Condorman (1981), Miraculous Ladybug, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (Comics), Wolfenstein (Video Games)
28 Mar 2025
Summary
An alternate universe (one that I hope is more sensible than canon) starting from the season 3 episode 'Feaste'. Marinette increasingly takes charge, trying to help her friends grow into better heroes and, in the process, tests the limits of her own self, her feelings and her ability to divorce her feelings from her decisions. Being her, this will mean lots of false starts, being led astray by her fears and desires and probably some of the weirdest multiple secret identity issues that she's encountered.

Summary
Iconically, Life is Strange, season 1, ends with a heartbreaking and impossible choice: Does Max lose her best friend in the world to an unjust killing or does instead she sentence hundreds of people to death in Arcadia Bay, incluidng some of her closest friends? What if there was a third way that would still satisfy the Balance? What would happen to Max and Chloe if they were able to be together in a world where Arcadia Bay still stood?

A genuinely positive BAY/Marshfield story that shows how Max can still be happy and fulfilled without Chloe. Pretty much my headcanon of the Marsh family too.

Summary
After the defeat of Gabriel Agreste and the disappearance of the mysterious peacock miraculous user, Marinette is left to try her best as Guardian and pick up the pieces. With the kwamis left in hibernation, no leads on the missing peacock miraculous, and no way to contact her beloved partner, she's left to her wit's end on where to proceed.
That is, until the prime suspect of the peacock wielder coincidentally takes up an apprenticeship at her parents' bakery. Adrien Agreste, son of Hawkmoth, has seemingly planted his roots in her home while Marinette was away for an apprenticeship. This could either be a disaster in the making, or the perfect opportunity to retrieve the missing miraculous... either way, it's war.
At least, it would be, if the gosh darn villain weren't so sweet!

Bookmarker's Notes
A masterpiece fan comic that is my canon for a post-Monarch Reveal and manages to capture the light-hearted humour of the show whilst still capturing the trauma that these kids went through and the scars that it must leave on the psyche.

Probably the best Chloe redemption story that I've ever read with lots of insight into just how evil Gabriel can be, even with the lives of children on the line.

A fascinating 'what if...?' addressing the possibility of everyone getting Miraculous Powers and how it could impact on the events of Season 5 and beyond.
