What would you think if Chloe and Audrey heard rumours about the way they were going to be portrayed in Astruc’s new movie, so they went back to Paris in an unsuccessful attempt to stop the movie from being completed? Then an evilized villain (maybe a wishmaker-like villain or maybe even a villain that's unrelated to the butterfly miraculous) caused Chloe and Zoe to switch bodies somehow, and nobody fully understands what's going on, so Zoe (in Chloe's body) is taken by Audrey back to New York, despite Zoe desperately trying to explain things. But Chloe enters a fugue state (heavily due to trauma caused by the neglect of her parents) and genuinely thinks she's Zoe, and is even able to recall many of the things Zoe did due to being in Zoe's body. The class thinks “Zoe's” change in behavior is due to the psychological effects of method acting, since “Zoe” is playing Chloe in Astruc's new movie, but they gradually convince “Zoe” to let them help her relearn how to be “herself” again. Meanwhile, in New York, Zoe is trying to get back to Paris, but when she gets there, “Zoe” thinks she’s there to try to hurt Marinette.
Eventually, after listening to “Chloe”, Marinette starts to suspect that “Chloe” might be telling the truth, so she decides that she must test “Chloe” and “Zoe”. She fakes being in danger to see how they react. “Zoe” reacts slightly faster than “Chloe”, so Marinette comes to the conclusion that “Chloe” is lying and that “Chloe” has an evil and manipulative plan. Marinette thinks that “Chloe” must have picked up a few tricks from Lila, because she thinks no version of Chloe could possibly react faster than Zoe when it comes to protecting her. So Audrey takes “Zoe” back to New York again to “correct” her after “Zoe” fails to convince anyone of the truth.
10 years later, “Zoe” gets seriously injured after fighting a villain when Ladybug isn’t around, which causes “Zoe” to not have long to live. Then Ladybug accidentally stumbles upon the truth about “Zoe” while trying to help “Zoe” using magical powers. Ladybug decides that the moral thing to do is to switch Chloe and Zoe back to their original bodies. Once Zoe gets her body back, she blames Chloe for her impending death and for leaving her with 10 years of loneliness, while Chloe got off scot-free. When Lila gets defeated, Zoe steals the Butterfly Miraculous to get her hands on Ladybug and Catnoir’s miraculouses, hoping to “make things right”. Zoe gets defeated by the heroes (including Chloe, who has gotten her memories back) and Ladybug manages to cure Zoe’s injuries.
I'm going to admit, I stopped reading half-way through this because
This is a lot to suddenly throw into someone's askbox out of the blue.
I haven't watched Miraculous Ladybug past season 2, so I haven't met Zoé yet and know dick all about her character.
This would be better as it's own post on your own blog! Make your own post! It's a much better place to put an idea like this than to yeet it into someone's askbox.
This has happened to me before and I am begging you all, if you have your own idea for an AU, especially if it's this long,
Make your own post!
I promise, if you write up your own post on your own blog and tag it with the appropriate things, people will find it and willingly interact with it.

y'all know how ppl act when there's a new iphone released? this is exactly how ppl should be reacting to that ugly ass agreste ring in the miraculous universe
i imagine going it smth like this:
idc if the new agreste ring is essentially just a french apple watch knock off im gonna fuggen buy it anyway because have you heard the voice actress? hell yeah i'll do anything u want lady
*gabriel, founding a successful high fashion line*
now let's do something...dIFFERENT
*releases a french apple watch but make it a ring to make it virtually impossible to see anything on the screen reverting back to ye olde nokia*
this makes so much sense
or:
yo for my people in europe I heard the new agreste ring advert is not actually starring his son Adrien?? like it's actually fake deep. wtf. like that's so messed up bc imagine if his son actually wanted to quit his career and now his face is still being used for the profit of the agreste brand??? and i mean sure he's gonna inherit it one day but still super weird if this is true. anyone wanna confirm this??
or:
i'll buy anything if adrien wears it
feel free to add on

Noticed Marinette has scars on her chest in ur most recent drawing and was wondering if she had top surgery in your head cannons, or just curious to why?
Also can we hear about your head cannons about them sometimes 👀
Tumblr media
yes, in my HC she does have top surgery! she is genderweird... (t4t adrinette is so real. to me.) because of how much the show likes to reverse gender roles for marinette and adrien i see marinette as being butch/GNC + also being a Half Ladybug Creature when using her miraculous affected her self perception and xeno'd her gender, she's like if an insect was a tomboy.
(also marinette and adriens wedding jewelry is replicas of each others miraculous..... thats just my hc....)
Sorry i rambled a bit, i love to share my HCs!! :)

══════════════════
"Alright that's me," you say as you zip your suitcase, you were going out to Japan to work on a mission with Ladybug. Tangerine did not know where you were actually going, when you first started dating you didn't tell him your job because it was too dangerous and you didn't want to scare him away and when things got serious between you both you were too scared to tell him because you didn't want to jeopardise things between you both so you fabricated a seamless lie about your occupation and he didn't suspect a thing.
"Same here," replies Tangerine. You walk towards him and put on hand on his bicep the other on the side of his neck, his hands go to your waist.
"Try not to miss me too much," you tease, a playful smirk forming at the corners of your mouth.
"Same can be said for you love." Tangerine winks, you roll your eyes and lean forwards. You press your lips to his and you share a passionate kiss, one that'll leave you longing for more later on when you lay awake thinking of him.
══════════════════
You arrive in Japan and instantly the whole new world amazes you, Japan was truly impressively innovative and futuristic. But you weren't here to enjoy the culture, you had a very simple mission to do, retrieve something from a train with Ladybug, what could possibly go wrong?
Ladybug answers the call from your operator for the mission, you're both given your code names. You got given Kitty- slightly humiliating you thought but you've had worse.
"Kitty?!" Ladybug complains, "I see you're playing favourites." He says to your operator.
"Oh I'd never," she responds. "Oh and also, you two are a newly wed adventurous couple who are on their honeymoon."
"Are they also complete losers?" You ask.
"indefinitely."
You both get to the train station which is bouncing with life, you walk alongside Ladybug who is talking with the operator about why exactly you two had been picked for the job, something about someone dropping out sick maybe? You weren't really listening.
"Shit." Ladybug says.
"Shit what?" You respond with a sigh, it was always something going wrong.
"I think I lost the key back there, some guy bumped into me."
"I'll get into it, what's the locker number."
"523." Replied the operator.
You get into the locker whilst Ladybug still talks about Carver, you do nothing but roll your eyes at how much he cares he wasn't a top priority for the mission. You gather the items in the locker, the pair of you put in your ear pieces and pack the little bag. You had no idea why half of the things were necessary but it really didn't matter, you were sure time would tell. There was a gun in there, which you wanted to take but your partner was on a no killing strike and wanted to become more peaceful, you thought that was ridiculous considering your jobs but his therapist had been filling his head with nonsense.
"Ladybug!" You grab his attention, ending his useless conversation. "The train.. it's about to leave."
"Oh. Let's go."
The two of you quickly shove your way onto the train, it was a very close call. Immediately you were impressed by your surrounding's, the train, even economy was borderline luxury.
"This place is nice," says Ladybug, nodding his head approvingly.
"Agreed." You respond, you both make your way down the train whilst your operator informs you both of the trains different compartments. Then she tells you what it is you're retrieving. A silver briefcase with a sticker on the handle.
"Briefcase owners are not simple to take from." Ladybug states.
"Can't say I've much experience stealing briefcases." You reply.
"The owners should be in economy class,"
"Owners? Plural. God I knew we should have taken the gun, fuck you and your therapist Ladybug." You tut.
"I was choosing spiritual enlightenment, besides there's two of us, two, hopefully, of them. We'll be fine."
You just sigh in response, the two of you continue walking where you're met with the ticket collector. You look to Ladybug who was the one in charge of the tickets, the prolonged pocket search told you everything you needed to know. You sigh once again pinching the bridge of your nose.
"Shit I think I dropped our tickets with the key,"
"Great! Fucking brilliant."
Another pocket search and Ladybug finds the receipt which the man reluctantly accepts.
"The takeaway from that is from now on I will hold onto important things, got it?"
"Fine by me." Ladybug concludes.
You both continue your walk through economy where you heard an all too familiar voice, the man who you just walked past sounded exactly like your husband. However you didn't see his face because Ladybug was blocking him, nevertheless there was no way it was him, he was on a business trip in London. Immediately that thought leaves your mind as you and Ladybug get to the luggage, you scan over the different bags.
"There's no fucking way were finding this," Ladybug scowls.
"Just did." You reply and grab the case careful of causing attention.
"Great work Kitty,"
"Hm, what's the catch?" You reply, things felt too easy.
"Just get off the train."
You both oblige and Ladybug attempts to conceal the case in his jacket, you would argue that it would only bring suspicion but your only focus was to exit. You both make your way through the different compartments again, your heart was thumping and you felt uneasy, but persevered until you stand at a door to exit.
"Ahh look, maybe my luck has increased," Ladybug says triumphally.
"God I hope so." You respond.
The train slows down and the door opens, on the other side is a very angry looking man with curly hair, a neck tattoo and a white suit. Who is looking at you with a look so intense it makes your skin crawl. Before you know it he is lunging at you and Ladybug with a knife in his hand, you gasp as he stabs Ladybug. The two of them fall back onto a glass door, shattering it and falling to the ground. But as he removes the knife it's revealed that he just got his phone, you sigh in relief and walk into the room they fell into as Ladybug stands up.
"You stabbed me?!" Cries Ladybug, it's a mere second until he lunges at him again. You watch as they fight, you look for a weapon.
You smash a champagne bottle over his head and at the same time Ladybug kicks him, making him stumble back. The comical fight between them continues, the man reveals his motive, something about you two being responsible for his wives death, which is ridiculous because it wasn't true. The man throws his knife at Ladybug who holds the briefcase up for protection, however the knife bounces back and hits the man right in the heart, killing him almost instantly.
"Well, so much for no killing." You say, as you take the knife from his chest and wipe it clean on his jacket. You put it in your pocket for later.
You help Ladybug clean up as you both attempt to figure out who he is with no luck you give up and you set him up on the seat eating a packet of nuts. Hopefully to distract from the fact he was dead, better than nothing you thought.
You and Ladybug split up, your job is to find a table and sit there for when he finds the owners of the briefcase. All the operator knew was that they were twins. Soon Ladybug comes to sit with you, telling you about how the twins aren't actually twins and how he just fought one in the quiet car.
You rolled your eyes. "Okay, we just have to get the case and leave."
"I can't just walk off they know what I look like."
"Well then, I'll get the case you try get off and I'll get past with the case, look at me no one will suspect me. You know this is a very sexist industry, but as of now it has its advantages."
You leave the other way of the train to make it back to retrieve the case whilst Lady bug works on finding a way to exit the train. You go to the place where you stashed the case, you however quickly learn it is no longer there.
"Fuck! For fuck sake. Stupid fucks must've got to it." You rant on as you practically tear apart the room looking for the case. And much to your dismay it is absolutely nowhere to be seen. You pace back and fourth trying to rack your brain on what to do- it was your only upper hand that the twins didn't know of your existence so you couldn't blow that by trying to retrieve the case of off them, you also didn't know what they looked like. Just as you're pacing you get a text message, it was from Ladybug.
'need ur help. i'm cornered.'
You sigh in dismay, but you knew you had to go and help Ladybug with this. So you work your way down the train, checking everywhere for your partner. You hear struggle in the distance so you knew you were getting closer, you brace yourself to walk in.
"Gotcha now, there's no way you're escaping you slithery bastard. Give me the case and you walk away untouched."
"For the last time we don't have the case."
"Yes you fucking do cause I ain't got it."
"Stop. My wife is coming, I don't want her to see this."
"Your wife? What sad sack is married to you."
"She's actually really hot I'll have you know." You walk in as Ladybug says that, you mentally gag.
You freeze on the spot as you see the back of the man fighting Ladybug. For some reason his hair was identical to your husband's hair, the height and build was also the same. But no... you were definitely wrong and simply overthinking. That is until he turned around and you swore you heart stopped momentarily.
"What the fuck?!!" Tangerine says.
You just stare at him as he stares at you, you had absolutely no idea what the fuck to do. How on earth has this happened? Ladybug looks between the two of you, the confusion plastered over his face.
"That's my wife. Not yours." Tangerine says, the expression on his face is unreadable, he didn't look angry.. but he wasn't happy to see you that's for sure.
Ladybug just starts laughing, clearly he doesn't believe it. But he soon stops once neither of you laugh with him. "Wait.. is this true?"
"Yes." You reply.
"You're married to this geezer?!" Tangerine says, he looked like he was going to kill someone, his fists were clenched and his breathing was quick. You couldn't help but let fear wash over you.
"No obviously not- we're on a mission." You sigh trying to find the words to explain yourself.
"I'm so fucking confused right now." Ladybug says, you glare at him and he quickly shuts up.
You lean against the counter and run your hands through your hair, Tangerine just stares at you and you get a proper look at him. He was roughed up, splattered with blood and messy hair. In any other context you'd be drooling over him.
"You're working with him to get the case?" Tangerine questions, crossing his arms.
"...yes," you awkwardly pick your nails, this whole situation was throwing you off, it felt weird between you and Tan now considering basically your whole marriage was a lie. Looking at him you wondered what else you didn't know.
"You lied to me." Tangerine walks closer to you.
"You lied to me." You narrow your eyes at him, standing up straight you raise an eyebrow at him.
"Well this is fucking weird," Ladybug says, you and Tan in sync tell him to shut up, and he does.
"We can talk about this later, I need that case." You say.
"No. You're not leaving my side, there's someone else running around here, I can't have anything happening to you."
A sense of relief washes over you as you learn he doesn't completely hate you anymore. Maybe your marriage wouldn't go to crap, but there was absolutely no way you'd be staying by his side like some helpless victim.
"No. I need the case, I can protect myself. And I will, I don't need you to hold my hand."
"(Y/N).." Tan starts.
"No." He just nods in response and passes you his gun, you take it and put it into your pocket, the air is filled with deadly silence. That is until Lemon walks in.
"There you are... oh (Y/N)." Lemon says, he stops dead in his tracks and does a take back. "(Y/N)?!" His face drops and he sends an alarming look to Tangerine who just shakes his head in response.
"What the fuck?!" You look between the two men, you truly couldn't be more taken aback.
Lemon nervously laughs. "Are you enjoying Japan? We had a change of plans, you know work is so unpredictable these days." He looks to Tangerine for help, he just runs his hand over his face whilst sighing.
"She knows everything and she's working with this dickhead." He points to Ladybug who just raises his hand.
"Right... well um great," Lemon falters you found it funny how confused he was, he never was great in awkward situations.
"Okay this was interesting but we've got places to be, come on Kitty."
You take one final glance at your husband who looks extremely stumped and Lemon who just looks puzzled, you weren't sure how the rest of this mission would go but you just knew you couldn't wait for it to be over.
You leave with Ladybug to go find the case again and leave the train, you knew Tangerine would be fine so you felt confident in your decision to leave him. Besides you had a mission to carry out and that you were going to do.
"How come I didn't know you were married?"
You sigh. "Because it is private information, I didn't want to put him in danger."
"He seems lovely.." Ladybug says, the sarcasm dripping off his words.
"He is lovely, you don't know him."
"Neither do you- he's an assassin and you had no idea."
"Shut up. We just need to get the case and get off this stupid fucking train."
You both make it to the first class longue and there the case is, back in its original spot. "That was not there when I looked." You furrowed your brows.
"You mustn't've looked properly."
"I fucking did, ripped the whole place apart."
Before you knew it you were in yet another fight, the Hornet lunged at you making you fall onto the table, you hit her over the head with the case allowing you to get up. It was a messy fight, arms and legs flying around. But here you are with a venomous needle inching towards you throat, you flip her onto her back and pry the needle out of her hand. You inject it into her neck and watch her face drop.
"Being killed by your own methods, that's dark." You watch as blood pours out of her eyes and her throat starts to close over, her struggled gasping and choking fills the area. You get up and watch as she dies, withering in pain.
"Fuck that was close." Ladybug sighs.
"Come on, we need to go."
The two of you make your way back through the train and down to economy. That's where you see Tangerine standing pointing a gun at a girl in pink with a bob. His expression is devasting yet full of a rage you've never seen in your life, it makes your stomach drop. Something has happened. You quicken your pace, Tangerine sees you and lowers the gun.
"What happened?" You ask, he looked borderline psychotic.
"Lemon, she." He points the gun at her, "killed Lemon."
You face drops and you look back to Ladybug.
"He's lying! Please help me, please." The girl pleads. You turn to her and punch her square in the face, knocking her back into the chairs. You punch her again in the throat, the move makes her blackout and you turn back to your husband.
"Fuck this job we need to get off this train."
Ladybug grabs the case and you three walk back the opposite way, ready to exist. Your mind is fuzzy and your head hurts, there's no way Lemon is dead, that reality devasts you. Lemon was like a brother to you, it broke your heart knowing things would never be the same. As you walk out of the train Ladybug doesn't follow you and Tangerine.
"Ladybug?" You look back to see him struggling against the girl in pink. "For fuck sake!"
"Just leave him, come on."
"No. I can't leave him. We need to help him." You walk back onto the train, Tangerine following you.
With much struggle you get the girl in pink on the ground, using zip ties you found in her bag you tie her hands together and force her into the seat. The four of you sit waiting for the next stop. No one uttering a word. A man comes to sit at the table next to you four, he immediately recognises the girl, she tells him his son is dead, his grandson next, yet he was one step ahead of her, so she sits useless and defeated, a look of triumph overcomes you, you wanted nothing more than to slit her throat but you knew she would have later value, so you leave her sitting there wallowing in her stupidity.
The man tells you all his story, you pick up on his wisdom, feeling nothing but trust towards him. So when he tells you all to follow him- bar the girl, you do. He takes you to the bathroom where his son, and Lemon lay. His son turns out is not dead and reaches for his father. Your eyes fixate on Lemon, unlike Tangerine who is leaning against the wall beside the bathroom. Your heart thumps as Lemon somehow yawns? His eyes open and he looks around, extremely confused.
"Am I in hell?" He questions.
"Oh my god!" You gasp, you turn to Tangerine who instantly stands behind you looking at Lemon.
He rips open his shirt, showing his bullet proof vest, where bullets sat, things were piecing together but you were extremely confused as to what exactly happened.
"Oh.. you drank the water." Concludes Ladybug.
"Water? What water?" Tangerine asks, looking to your partner.
"The water spiked with sleeping powder."
All of you go to sit, awaiting the next stop.
"I can't believe you're an assassin." Lemon says. As he sits opposite you.
"I guess I'm full of surprises," You shrug.
"We need to get off this bastarding train, no more being held back." Tangerine says, you could tell he wasn't half with it. None of you were but he was right.
"We need a plan," Ladybug says. You all agree, and the elder comes up with roles for each of you to properly execute the plan.
You go with Lemon to try and control the trains route, Tangerine goes with Ladybug to hand in the case and cause a distraction whilst the elder goes to take on the white death, something dramatic he said about getting his revenge.
"Fuck it's all in Japanese. There was no Thomas episodes in Japanese." Lemon scowls.
"It's fine, we'll figure it out." You respond trying to be optimistic.
"Okay, we just have to slow this down. Fucking stupid thing! Fucking slow down." Lemon curses.
"So far so good." Ladybug says as he approaches you both, "you can stop the train."
"We don't know how to fucking work this shit!" You groan trying to suppress your frustration.
Lemon and Ladybug go back and fourth, you head hurts from listening to them. Suddenly two men come through the door shooting their guns, you all duck down to shield yourselves from the bullets. You and Lemon lunge at the men, taking them down whilst leaving Ladybug to stop the train. One of the men had you up against the wall, hand over you throat choking you, you felt the life slowly draining your body and with every passing second you become more and more weak. You watch Lemon trying to take down two other men, he doesn't know you're being straggled. Just as you are about to accept your fate, Tangerine comes in, knocking the man to the ground and shooting him in the head. You gasp for air your fingers gently caressing your tender throat, Tangerine is instantly at you.
"Are you okay love?"
You nod and he strokes your cheek, a great sense of comfort overrides you, then he and goes to help Lemon take down the other two men. Whilst they do that Ladybug finally figures out how to stop the train. Or so you thought, the manual book flies out the window and the train collides with the one in front, you all grip onto something. Another two men make their way up to the driving cart, which you all in a group effort defeat. Ladybug starts pulling out all sorts of wires which make the slow down and ride right into a wall, sending you all flying forward through the train as it destructs its way through a village. You land laying on a patch of dirt, Tangerine beside you. You heard a gunshot and jump up, you see The White Dead dead with his brains blown.
You two make your way over to where Ladybug, the elder and his son are, not even two minutes later the girl in pink comes with a machine gun, talking about her fate and luck, which doesn't last long before she's hit with a moving vehicle.
"What the fuck..?" You sigh, you look to Tangerine who looks just as puzzled as you. Ladybug goes off with Maria your handler who came to get you both, you decided to stay with Tangerine and the two of you go to find Lemon.
"Can't believe I didn't realise you were an assassin. Seems so obvious now." Tangerine says, taking your hand.
"Yeah well I didn't notice either, besides. I think I'm done with it, today was too messy."
Tangerine nods in agreement, you both find Lemon who turns out was driving the truck that hit the girl. The three of you decide to go home, of course Lemon didn't rest until he found out the ins and outs of your work. You were relieved to know everything Tangerine had ever told you- besides obviously his job was true. Maybe this wasn't such a bad thing after all.

Part 2 of the life-swap series! Oddly enough when I asked those close to me, none of them anticipated that I'd swap Chloe and Luka. Honestly it made more sense to me? Both have sisters, have at least one obscenely rich parent, and have crushed on the two leads?
Now onto the plot-
After finding out about the twins Jagged decided to battle for custody. He managed to get full custody of Luka, but not Juleka, and out of spit decided to cut the twins off from each other, causing Anarka to move to the the US. But despite having a young son now, this didn't stop Jagged from touring, often leaving Luka behind in Paris to be looked after by whoever was available. Even when he was in Paris he often avoided Luka, instead leaving Penny to watch him.
Luka grew up bitter at his fathers lack of care for him, and took it out on everyone around him. Mostly the staff of both Le Grande Pari, where he lives, as well as whatever caregiver his father/Penny had hired. When he went to school, he immediately began taking his anger out on everyone there too. Once Adrien's mom passed he took a special hatred to the blonde, in some ways seeing himself in Adrien. Both now children of single fathers, but Gabriel is in his sons life (whether that's good or bad doesn't matter to Luka).
And Luka, being an empath knows exactly how to get under ones skin. Because even if you don't show your emotions outwardly, he still can tell when he's struck gold. The only person he doesn't hate is Marinette, his childhood friend and the only person unaware of his attitude.
And yes, we are going for Cannon Chloe swap here, so no redemption for Luka. Sad. I'll draw Akuma-Viperion later.
Onto Chloe, once Andre found out about Audrey's infidelity he gave her two options. The first, he expose her and her career be permanently marred. Or she give him full custody of both Chloe and Zoe and the could divorce peacefully. Chloe hasn't seen her mom since she was 3 and quite frankly had no interest in her. Zoe only being a half sister to Chloe is a carefully guarded secret, one that Zoe thinks even Chloe doesn't know.
Chloe, not wanting to emulate her mother grew up with a very different mindset. Instead being taught that being both too aggressive and a pushover will lead to a mess. So she instead learns to govern her hive with a firm but steady hand. The staff of Le Grand Paris greatly respect her, and she is often the one sent to head off a Luka temper tantrum, as the only person unimpressed by both him and his father. She's more of an Clara Nightingale fan anyways.
She fast tracked her way through school, and decided to take Highschool online as to give herself more time to work both at the hotel and at her event planning company. As Queen Bee, she is fierce but kind. The favorite of the secondary heroes, since she is not only efficient at stopping the akuma, but will stick around to comfort and reassure both the victim and the civilians who were caught in the attack.
Due to her calm voice and good advice, Ladybug and Chat Noir have turned to her many times for comfort on both the chaos hero life and civilian troubles. She's always willing to listen when they need her. As such Hawkmoth sees her as the most beneficial to target. Only he seems scarred to akumatize her for some reason...

Ahh, sad to see Littlebug's apprenticeship under Eggman end already... she can still visit Sage for playdates though, right? Also, what did Marinette end up doing with the magic Eggbot?
Oh yes, Sage and Littlebug are now friends.
It makes future conflicts a little awkward, but Sonic and co aren't complaining!
Tails: Okay, while Sonic is fighting Eggman, we'll sneak into his lab to steal back the emeralds. In the meantime, Little Maria will play with Sage.
Rouge: ....how will that help?
(They look over at Littlebug and Sage playing a game of Uno.)
Sage: I am busy running simulations and won't be focusing on the defenses.
Knuckles: You know, there are easier ways of asking for playdates.
Sage: Busy. Need to focus.
Shadow: (Also sitting with a few cards for some reason)
Knuckles: ....you too?
Shadow: Don't judge me.
=================
(Meanwhile, in Paris)
Nadja: Breaking news! There appears to be something of a giant battle between Gorizilla and Ladybug in some kind of mech suit.
(At the battle)
(Ladybug and Gorizilla are locked in hand to hand combat.)
Ladybug: (Straining as she's trying to have the robot push back Gorizilla) Little help here!
Chat: (Pushes a random button with what appears to be a drill symbol)
(The mecha's arm suddenly retracts, leaving a hole.)
(Pause)
(Nothing happens.)
Chat: Oh. I thought it'd make a drill hand and I could say "Pierce the heavens with your drill, m'lady!"
(Suddenly, the mecha's arm lights up and a blast of light shoots out of the hole in the arm, hitting Gorizilla and sending him flying into a building, partially destroying it.)
Chat: (Stare)
Ladybug: (Stare)
Chat: So it was a beam cannon! (Starry eyes) SO COOL!
Ladybug: W...wasn't that the Agreste Corporate Headquarters?
(Meanwhile, in Hawk Moth's lair...)
Hawk Moth: DAMN YOU, LADYBUG!

Hello! English is not my language, so I apologize in advance for any mistakes. Can I have a request with Leona? The girl found herself in the world of Twisted Wonderland when she died in her own. In general, she is from the world of Ladybug and Super Cat, but she does not remember her first life. It was like she was in a cartoon, but didn’t remember anything except the plot. So, she is the owner of the talisman and has many scars on her body due to battles. In short, this is the background story. She avoids people and has major trust issues. She cries because she doesn't like her own body, and Leona covers her with kisses, trying to prove that there is nothing wrong with scars.
A/n: Don't worry hun, I understood ya just fine. I hope it's ok I turned your request into a head cannon. But I made sure to put all the details you wanted into it! I hope you enjoy it! This was quite fun to write! :)
Pairing: Leona Kingscholar x Scarred! Reader
TW: None, unless talk of scars is triggering, then that would be the only warning.
Word Count: 264
You're Beautiful To Me
Tumblr media
When you first met Leona he didn’t care much about your scars.
But when you put him in his place during his overblot with your powers from your Miraculous as you called it, he finally became intrigued by you.
So much so that you two started getting closer and then soon enough you guys started dating.
It was one of your “nap dates” as you liked to nickname it when Leona first saw your scars. He was hesitant though, to say anything. After all, he had a scar of his own over his eye and it didn’t exactly come with the easiest story. So he left it be until you were ready to talk about them.
That is… until he found you crying in the greenhouse one day.
He may not be that great at comforting, but he couldn’t let his girlfriend be distressed. So after you calmed down with lots of hugs and promises of spending the rest of the day together, you opened up about your scars and told him how bad you felt about them. 
That they came with your past, but half of it you couldn’t remember and it was so frustrating. To know certain events but not entirely the world you came from. 
Leona just pulled you into a big hug after you told him the whole story. Then he did something that surprised you–he started kissing every visible scar he could. He wanted you to know that no matter how many scars or where they came from, you’d always be his beautiful herbivore. 
And he, your sweet boyfriend.
Hope you liked the story! Leona has always been one of my favorite Twisted Wonderland characters to write. He's so awesome. Thanks for the request!
And if you guys want even more stories--like maybe your own personalized several-page long one-shots or even a multi-chap fic take a look at my Etsy Shop! I do commissions! I even have listings for Twisted Wonderland!

Ladybug!Rose is cute! 🫶🥰 Really like her designe, tho, telling the truth it feels like if you look in her eye, you see yourshelf in it, like a mirror 😅 (actually, could it be cannon? I mean, it's magic✨)
Could you show her othet outfit, even if it's just a concept, please? Also, how's the name;
Rosebug ?! 🐞
Thank you! Yeah, she has the biggest eyes out of anyone xd It's like she's staring into your soul
She already has a name, it's Dotty.
Tumblr media
The first one was actually my first idea for her, but the second one was better. The first one could be used as a civilian outfit.
It wasn't visible in the full picture but she has make-up around her eyes, which is what the eye thing is. There's also the yoyo and the backpack she has.

Hai! I saw that you were taking fic requests and if it's ok with you I was hoping you could write one for Tangerine? Where reader is working w/ the twins for years now and is oblivious to all of Tangerines advances to her bcuz she doesn't really think he likes her. Come to the event where they're on the bullet train and they're trying to do their mission but everything went to shit. So Tan leaves Lem and Reader to wait while he tries to find Ladybug and there comes a chance where Lemon tells her himself about Tans feelings and advances and how oblivious she was and she becomes in denial
And that hopefully in the end, after she got shot in like the shoulder by saving Tan from almost being shot by Ladybug she sees how Tan reacts and she goes "oh shit Lemon was fr not bullshiting" and at the end they get out the train safely and no one dies and have a very real, and cannon happy ending 💕💕
OMG, YESS!!! Thank you so much for the request! I'm so sorry it took so long- BUT- I had a lot of fun writing this and I really hope I did your suggestion justice😭 Word Count: 1656 Warnings: 18+ MINORS DNI, Violence (nothing that doesn't happen in the movie), Fluff, a bit of angst(?), Reader & Tan being obvious, pet names (love), Totally cannon ending where Tan is alive, happy, and healthy, Reader gets hurt :(, allusions to smut? Over all Lemon being fed up with Tan and you exchanging goo-goo eyes and not acting on it <3. I don't think I followed the events in order so- bear with me heh <3 NO USE OF Y/N!! NOT PROOF READ! MAY CONTAIN TYPOS! Send me a request!
Tumblr media
You have been working with the two brothers, Lemon and Tangerine, for a while now. Picking up odd jobs. Whatever pays the most. And even though these two could get on your nerves, you enjoyed your time with them. They never once made you feel different. Never told you, you couldn't do something because it was 'too dangerous for a woman'.
Well, that was true until recently. You see, Tangerine has slowly become more aware of every mission's danger. Sure he knew you could handle yourself. He knew that you wouldn't get hurt. But he didn't want to risk it. So naturally when he took this job for the White Death, he was against you coming.
Yet here you are. Sitting by the window, next to a semi-pissed Tan.
It all started when you insisted to join. Saying how you've sat out the last 2 missions, and you weren't going to miss another. Then, Lemon lost the briefcase. After that, you three find the White Death's son dead. The Cherry on top was they (White Death) knew you lot didn't have the case.
"Alright, I'm gonna go find this prick and teach him a lesson. You two stay here, yeah?" You heard Tan speak up, making you look over at him. "But I wa-" "Ah ah- No buts. You're staying here." He said firmly before getting up and walking off
You sighed as you watched Tangerine walk off. Lemon watched him as well before fixating his gaze on you.
"You know he likes you, right?"
"What..?" Surely you didn't hear that right. Or you must be dreaming. Because you thought there was no way in hell that someone as hot as Tan could ever like you back.
"Did you go deaf or somethin'? I said my brother likes you. It's painfully obvious." Even when he repeated it, you looked at Lemon like he had two heads. "I-I think you're mistaken.. There's no way he likes me.." Lemon just rolled his eyes. "Look, I wouldn't lie to ya' about this. I see the way you look at my brother. You clearly fancy him a lot. And he feels the same. I mean, it's painfully obvious to everyone else. He's told you how many pickup lines since we got on this train? And how many through our whole time together? And don't even get me started on the looks you two give each other when the other is turned!"
"I-.. I thought he was just being friendly.." You mumbled, still in denial. You refused to think someone who seemed so out of your league liked you. "Yeah? Well, he wasn't. He's been trying to rack up the nerve to ask you out like a proper gentleman, but every time he asks, you're off in your own world."
You shook your head firmly, looking out of the window. "Would you stop being such a stubborn priss and just open your eyes? You two fancy each other! Just confess and move on. If I have to sit through another mission filled with romantic and sexual tension I might just quit."
You continued to talk to Lemon, arguing over if Tan likes you back or not before transitioning to a more tame conversation. Though your mind kept wandering back to what he said. You couldn't help but wonder if you were in the wrong about it.
Tumblr media
It had been a while since you got separated from Lemon. You were worried, alone, and in all honesty? Scared. You didn't feel safe without being with one of the twins. Preferably Tan over Lem. But you wouldn't mind Lem.
You walked around the eerily empty train before finding an open bathroom, your eyes widening as you saw a bloodied Lemon. Quickly you knelt to his level and checked for a pulse, luckily finding one. You examined him more and saw Tan's necklace around him. Of course he'd jump the gun and think the worst.
You quickly got up, running through the train to find him. You bumped into another girl on your way down. You gave her a skeptical look. "Watch where you're going!" She yelled at you as she continued on.
You couldn't help but scrunch up your nose in disgust. You could barely notice a Thomas the Tank Engine sticker on her back. Diesel. So that's who drugged Lem.
You made a mental note to find her later, no doubt she thought Lem was dead so you didn't have to worry for now. Continuing down the train. Eventually, you saw him, saw your Tan fighting another guy. They didn't see you yet. So you tried to quietly sneak up on the other one. But when you saw him reach for the gun, it was game over.
You ran as fast as you could and pushed Tan out of the way right when the gun fired, not even feeling the pain in your shoulder when it was done with.
It was like time was going in slow motion for Tan. One minute he was fighting this Ladybug guy, then the next everything was going significantly slower, watching you run towards him and push him away. He had to blink a few times before landing on his ass with a groan, looking up at you and watching a bright red liquid start to stain your white shirt.
If his eyes could change colors, they would be bright red, staring at the man with the gun who was behind you, not even giving him a second to get out the words "I'm sorry" before he had him up against the wall.
"First, you come in here while I was about to kill the bloody Diesel, then you try to kill me, not believing me when I said that she's trying to make us all kill each other. And then! The fuckin' cherry on top, you try to kill me. But you shoot my partner instead. You hurt an innocent lady. A fuckin' goddess.."
He was growling at the other man, finally the pain of the bullet settling in. You winced in pain and fell to the floor, grabbing your shoulder to try and stop some of the bleeding.
Tan paused hearing you, looking over and quickly dropping the man to run to your side. "Are you okay love..?" He asked, his expression softened when he looked at you, taking off his shirt to wrap around your shoulder to help stop the bleeding.
You couldn't help but stare as he took it off, your eyes moving from his abs to his eyes as he wrapped up your shoulder. So Lem was telling the truth. Tan really did love you. It was as clear as day to you now. The way he looked at you, how you were the most beautiful person alive. The way he spoke, how he immediately softened when he saw you. Everything he did showed his love for you.
"Hello? I asked if you were okay?" He repeated, waving a hand in front of your face. That seemed to snap you out of your trance, blinking a few times before you looked at him, smiling softly.
You threw your arms around his neck, pulling him in for a hug, not caring how much the wound hurt from this. "Th-Thank you, Tan.. I mean it.." You spoke softly, feeling tears well up in your eyes. Partly from the pain, partly because you were just so happy.
Tan was beyond confused, but hugged you back, smiling softly as he took in your sweet scent. "You don't need to thank me, love.. It's the least I can do.." He hummed, wanting this moment to last forever but, you eventually pulled away, looking into his eyes.
"Did.. Did you really mean what you said about me..? A-About me being a... a goddess..?" You asked, your voice shaking a bit. You hoped he'd say yes, hoping that he truly meant it so you could confess.
"Of course I did.. You're beautiful.. Stunning.. Fuck- Words can't des-"
You didn't let him finish, quickly pulling him into a kiss. He was surprised but quickly melted into it, kissing you back as his hands found their way into your hair, entangling with your soft locks.
By this point Ladybug had read the room and left while he still had his life, knowing that as soon as Tan could, he'd kill him.
The two of you never wanted to pull away, kissing for as long as your breaths would allow before having to pull away. "I-.. I really like you Tan.. Liked you for a while now.." You shyly admitted, panting softly as you tried to regain your breath. "I like you too.. So so much.." He hummed, smiling at you lovingly as he cupped your face.
"Fuckin' finally! I was worried I'd actually have to quit." Lemon's voice could be heard from the doorway making the both of you chuckle. "Jesus Lem.. You're alive?" Tan looked over at him, for the first time breaking eye contact with you. "Yeah. Someone drugged the water I drank. Did you not check my pulse?"
Tan looked away shyly, slightly embarrassed he jumped the gun. "To play devil's advocate, you do have a shit ton of blood on you Lem." You hummed, trying to defend Tan. Lemon just rolled his eyes. "Whatever. Let's just get off the train at the next stop, yeah?
All of you agreed and the train came to a stop not long after. All of you exited and no one was seriously harmed! Well, besides you. After a quick trip to the ER to get the bullet removed, and the wound sewn up, you all retreated back to your separate hotel rooms. Little would Lemon know (that's a like he totally knew), Tan would sneak out of their room to go into yours just to make sure you're okay. But what ended up happening instead was more than fine as well.

Idea where Adrien and Marinette knew each other from years of the Dupain-Cheng’s catering for the Agreste’s so they become The Best Of Friends Ever ™️ and have Ladynoir dynamics since they were kids.
What is included in this idea package:
Years of play dates that are always super fun for the both of them and when their parents at at events they get to go off and play together
their influence on each other starts in their early development so Marinette brings an independent nature out of Adrien and Adrien brings out more collaboration in Marinette
They get to have Big Talks™️ when facing harder questions in life
Marinette was there when Adrien’s mom left so they grew even closer
When they get their miraculous they tell each other immediately and become impossibly closer
they felt bad about breaking the rules at first but they realized that it works so much better this way because they were already so close that they didn’t need to build teamwork with someone new
It’s Marinette that actually convinced Gabriel to let Adrien into public school
Adrien met Chloe before but didn’t like her as much bc of Marinette’s influence (he also got to hear first hand how she was bullying her)
They play a massive prank on their whole class when Adrien comes in the first day because of all people that know each other it’s them. people are shocked, Chloe is mad, Nino is like “bro i thought i was your childhood bestie” so Marinette is like “you are but trust me there is no need to be jealous, just spend like 5 minutes with him you’ll fall in love with him” and she was right
we get lots of post-reveal pre-relationship silly dynamics 
Alya and Nino eventually clock on the two of them like each other, but it looks like they’re both oblivious to it / don’t want to admit it
eventually, Alya and Nino confront Marinette and Adrien separately about confessing their feelings, but they both give back an eerily similar answer of “it’s too complicated to be together” that makes them think there is more to their relationship then they originally thought (Alya thinks they are LB and CN and Nino thinks they are already dating) (they are both kinda right).
Alya and Nino slowly put the pieces together, they’re making jokes assuming they are both dating and superheroes that they kind of just forgot that these are head cannons of their friends so when they eventually find out they’re like “yeah lmao”
all very fluffy and silly and only a ting of angst
Ladybug, Chat Noir, Rena Rouge, and Carapace shenanigans eventually

OMORI MLB AU MASTERPOST (might change)
Hi! I'm @tosteur-gluteal and this is a masterpost for my au, the OMORI MLB AU! You can check out the content for that au in the #omori mlb au tag!!
What is the OMORI MLB AU?
It is an alternative universe I've created as a joke, but it slowly turned into a legitimate AU of mine where Sunny and Basil from the video game OMORI are superheroes, specifically Ladybug and Chat Noir from the TV show Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Chat Noir.
What is the setting?
It takes place in Paris, at the same time as the Miraculous Origin episode. But instead of Marinette and Adrien, the heroes are Sunny and Basil. Master Fu was in a hurry, you see... He had to choose a new guardian for the Miracle Box, and happened to stumble across a male nurse. Sunny and Basil go to a private school, as well as the Faraway kids, except here they're french and Parisian. It would be a school that's similar to the one in the Miraculous movie; very fancy.
Sunny's name isn't "Sunny"?
No, his full name is Kiyomu Fua Suzuki! He is French and Chinese (mom's side) and Japanese (dad's side). Very unusual combo. Sunny is a nickname.
What are the names of the heroes?
Ladybug for Sunny (He just chose the name of the animal his miraculous is tied to) and Catmint for Basil (He wanted to be called Stranger but the public just unanimously chose to call him Catmint so it stuck)
There are no character sheets yet, but I can show you some concepts that are still relevant today: Ladybug's final design
Sunny/Ladybug
Basil/Catmint's personality
Ladybug looking at the camera menacingly
Is Gabriel Agreste the villain?
No! In this cannon, he grieved like a normal person would. Also he won't appear in that au sorry lol
Who is the main villain?
The main villain... Is Sunny's dad! Ukon Suzuki, an overworked game designer. Shocking, amarite?
Here are some drawings of him:
He wants to order
Dilfguy
Suzuki Family
Papillon's old design
Is Mari alive?
Yes! She is!
What about Aubrey? And Kel? And Hero? AND OMORI????
Aubrey and Kel go to the same school as Sunny and Basil. Kel becomes friends with Sunny very quickly (he's kind of the Alya of this au) and Aubrey bullies Basil... Thankfully, it becomes more bearable for Basil as soon as he becomes friends with Sunny. ..And yes they'll get miraculouses Omori is a sentibeing! It was decided in this post that Omori's amok should be a rubber bracelet.
What is Catmint|Basil and Ladybug|Sunny's dynamic?
Sunny and Basil are best friends, but Basil has a crush on Sunny. Ladybug and Catmint are colleagues, but Ladybug has a crush on Catmint. By extension, Catmint has a crush on Sunny and vice-versa (see that funny date drawing)
At least, that's the status quo at the beginning of the story!
Drawings of them interacting:
Them cuddling
Aftermath of the heroes' first appearance
Unfinished comic
(Old drawing) Charm
Just them ;3
What is your gendah
Sunny the unforgiving
PPGZ reference (i'll add more once i get some time ifhfeioehm)
Will there be a fanfiction?
Yes!! It's in the making! It's gonna take some time though, since I have another AU called OMOFALLS that takes a lot of work too.
About the Playlist?
There is a playlist for the MLB, but don't expect it to make much sense yet TwT. These are the songs that I listen to when working on my au. BUT! I think the songs that represent it the most are this cover and this remix of Tokio Funka by Takamatt; as well as HERO by Ayase/YOASOBI.

Espilver Week Day Two: Charm
"My Good Luck Charm" on Ao3 (5.5k)
The heroes of Paris look a bit different, and find themselves a bit different too. This may be a bit inaccessible if you don't know anything about Miraculous Ladybug, but should be attainable to anyone who's watched about 1 episode. I also altered some of the lore in the world slightly, redesigned their costumes, and tweaked Tikki. Basically, it's weird but I had a lot of fun!
As the people of Paris fled from their weekly apocalypse, Espio slunk into the shadow of the Arc de Triomphe, camouflaging with the cream bricks as he released a black blob from the pocket of his jacket.
"Awh, come on! I was enjoying that nap!" the black blob rasped, unraveling from a ball into a tiny black cat-chao, floating before Espio's horn. Espio scowled at him.
"We are always ready to do our duty. Plagg - claws out!"
The powers of destruction and the mischieviousness of the cat flowed into Espio as Plagg encircled him in a swirl of black and green. His face was covered by a loose black hood that descended past his horn to his lip, with two wide mesh slots that showed his eyes spreading green, and two black pointed ears flopping. He was enrobed in a billowing dark trousers and shirt, with Yoroi over his shoulders. Under his clothes his skin was covered in a tight black layer, but one glowing ring on his finger flashed with a cats paw. A belt wound around his waist and twinned with his tail, and as he flicked his fingers his contracted staff materialised.
Espio expanded the staff to an impossible height, and stood atop the monument. No sign of his partner, but there was ample trouble to keep him busy. Under the cat's influence and mask he grinned, and allowed himself to be free of his regiment.
At ground level, somebody's house cleaner had clearly had enough of her poor treatment, and fallen victim to a butterfly's egg. Now, she terrorised the town with an arsenal of un-cleaning weapons, creating as much mess as she could.
"If this is about the scratched furniture, I assure you I'm not sorry. It will happen again." Espio smirked as he landed before her, whipping his tail around her ankle and flinging her into a bin. He saw two wings glaze over her eyes as EggMoth spoke in her mind, and she blasted her vacuum to pull her dumpster over to him in a flash, and soaked him with water and perfume from a heavy spray bottle.
"Bad kitty!" She snarled as he spat soap from his mouth. On instinct, he yowled as his uniform was dampened, and shook it dry into a puff.
Espio ran circles about her, poking and prodding with his staff to find her Akuma. She blocked and guarded most of them, but he managed to fling her into the air and take vicious jabs at her appliances. None yielded a hatching moth like he hoped.
Not that he could deal with that on his own, but the Espio part of him liked to be helpful, efficient and independent.
The Un-Maid growled and surged for him, summoning clouds of dust that coated the ground, but he leapt over her. Unfortunately, the civilian behind her was completely covered, and it proved toxic and cloying: the hedgehog gasped and choked. Espio's heart panged as he realised he knew that hedgehog - his dear friend who he couldn't allow to be hurt.
"Oh, that's fine - as long as you don't make my fur wet!" Espio moaned, and then ran past Silver as she blasted her soapy cannon again. Now he was dripping wet, but the dust was out of his face. Espio picked him up in his tail and ran.
"You have to be careful, kid - things can get messy!" He chuckled, and cast around for somewhere safe to stash him. Un-Maid had screwed up the streets with mud and oil, and the worrier behind the warrior pinged forty different ways his friend could slip and die, or catch fire.
"Oh I'm -" Silver coughed "Fine, thanks, Catana, just put me down here, plea-" He coughed again, hard.
"Where's your asthma pump?" Espio asked seriously, then panicked: "Because... you sound like you need one! I know a lot about sickness, you see, being a hero, and stuff."
Silver shook him away, and went to open the tatty shoulderbag he carried, then stopped.
"Shouldn't you be fighting?"
"I'm sure my lucky partner has it under control, wherever she is!" 'Catana' sighed dreamily at that, before Espio resumed focus: "I need to know you can breathe properly to run away."
Silver sighed, irritated. It stung Espio a little to know his friend didn't like his alter ego, but he supposed the Plagg in him was helping disguise Espio's true identity: Nobody would suspect the straight laced detective-in-training was secretly a ninja expert and secretly a smart-arsed superhero. It was part of the act, so he told himself it was good that Silver didn't trust the 'him' he didn't know.
Somebody screamed over his shoulder. Silver puffed, irritated, and extracted an inhaler from his bag, careful not to show the contents, to breathe in the medicine.
"Really, you think I'd steal from you? I mean I could, of course, being fast, and stealthy, and so charming you'd never suspect-"
"And also a terrible hero, so you might as well be a petty thief:" Silver offered, pointing over Espio's shoulder to the people being sucked into a giant vacuum.
"You wound me! Next time maybe I won't help you - you'll have to hope my partner is around!" He sighed in feigned hurt, winked, then scampered after the Un-Maid. Silver darted behind a scaffolding site, and revealed the kwami of creation in his bag.
"Stupid cat, I thought he'd never leave!" Silver sighed to Tikki, and flicked his earrings to engage his powers.
Just as Catana found himself tugging his tail out of the hoover, his scarlet partner appeared. They wore a red and black polkadot skirt so rounded it puffed out and in like a tulip, and a pair of suspenders flush to a red ruffled shirt. They had black sheer wings extending from black covered arms, and a mask over their eyes. Their long white hair was swept into two bunches either side of their head that fluttered as they descended gracefully on their wings, spinning a yo-yo.
"Impressive, Catana. I see you're taking the time to clean yourself up." They spoke in a low almost-whisper, but it rang in Espio's body like the Notre Dame bells. He stared at them, his mind disconnected from everything except his lips, where sat a stupid grin.
"I knew I was a lucky guy!" He said dreamily, as the Scarlet hero launched their yo-yo and spun it around the hose of the hoover, tightening it so he could pull his tail out.
"No akuma in any of the cleaning supplies, m'lady." He offered, and his partner twitched. Ladybug was what the press called them, and they'd never corrected that. They never felt the need to stoop so low, which as someone working adjacent to journalists, Espio respected deeply. But they never even told him - Catana, their partner - what he could call them. Which was difficult, both because they were Paris' new heroes, and because Espio loved his scarlet partner more than he even knew he could love anything before.
They skipped lightly around the UnMaid, who had completely lost Espio's attention. He dusted himself off and jogged after them.
"So I see. Thank you." They said calmly, in their customary whisper. They were winding the Yo-Yo around the Akumatised victim with artful loops, the string glowing red as it wound itself as if by magic. They were so magic, they oozed a glowing radiance that commanded Espio. Everything was magic when they were around.
"You think you've won? Don't forget, I fight dirty!" The Un-Maid snarled. Up close, they could see her uniform had molded into her wooly pelt, and her once tidy hair had burst out of a pin that now hung in her curls. That was all the coccinelle could observe, before their prey kicked a spray of mud in their eyes, that turned from a spray into a tidal wave.
Catana darted in front of his partner, spinning his staff as fast as he could to deflect the mud. This kicked up a wind that flushed wet earth into dirty air, but turned the splash back onto the Un-Maid. However, something caused the ever-composed scarlett hero to loosen their hold on their Yo-Yo, choking softly.
"Are you alright, lovebug?" Espio called jokily, then turned around to see his partner doubled over, white eyes streaming behind their black mask.
"Just- an allergy." They wheezed, waving him away and taking deep ragged breaths.
"Do you need something for it, are you going to be okay, I-" Espio stopped as they placed a hand across his chest.
"No. I'm just warming up, don't worry about me!" They stated in their whisper, their eyes on the troublemaker.
"I know how you feel - you take my breath away!" Espio winked as he patted their back. They rolled their eyes.
"Then how are you still talking?"
They shot off before he could respond, leaping into the air and floating with their black glittery wings, steered by their yo-yo tugging on lampposts. They pulled one long ponytail over their nose and mouth as they approached through the filth.
His scarlet partner fought with the tenacity of a tiger, but stayed graceful, intentional and powerful as they landed hits, dragged possessions and civilians out the grasp of the Un-Maid. Beside them, Catana looked like a bumbling kitten with feet too big for itself, but he did his best to flank his partner, knocking errant hits out their way to let them shine.
Speaking of shine, they had filthied the road with muck and soapscum in this fight. It became slippery, and Catana had to grip the tarmac with his tail, and even that was getting harder. But it wouldn't have been a problem, if there weren't still cars trying to drive around them and skidding.
"Just one moment m'lady;" Catana said sweetly, before he slid purposely on the ground into the traffic: "You lot! Get outta the way before you take a stick up the pipe!" he snarled in full cat, shunting them backwards. People started to reverse, except for someone who got out of his car and shouting. Catana scowled at him, then smiled as he leapt over the vehicle.
"I meant it."
He extended his staff to clink into the exhaust pipe, and hefted the car on the end of it like a wobbly lollipop.
"My- my Jag!"
"My Jag now, it'll find you later. Later!"
He plonked the car down on its side with a crash to rest like a barrier. The sight of a car bobbing in the air was enough to turn most of the crowds away.
Coccinelle had devised a careful trap of their yo-yo string, weaving in and out of hits with a feather-duster-Morningstar. They pitied the maid and her plight, but needed her to keep talking to rustle out the Akuma that had wriggled into her heart by an object she cared about, before it had a chance to lay eggs. This was what Catana was best at, as he never shut up, and hadn't ended up with a costume that meant he had to hide his voice, they presumed.
"Whatever you've been promised, it won't help you." They whispered as loud as they could. Un-Maid tore up the grass, and made to run for the shops again. They sighed, and delicately skidded in front of her. Their yo-yo was already occupied, so they prepared to fight fists, but a car slammed down right in between them.
"This is not what I thought the cat would drag in." They muttered, and grabbed Un-Maid by the ankles as she tried to escape.
"What's the matter? More a Mercedes gal? You'll fix it all in the end, I know you will." Catana breezed, but his partner shot him a look.
"This behaviour is why you've got detectives on your tail." They pointed carefully. Catana jumped, tugging his tail in hand, but smiled easily.
"The Chaotix are further from me than you might think." He laughed, and tipped their chin; "But thanks for worrying about me."
His partner rolled their eyes, just as he vaulted over them to be covered in a dustbomb. They covered their face with their lace glove.
"My hero. Stay focussed."
Their dismissal stung, but Catana was growing used to his partner: Their elegance and mystique was how they guarded their plans and moves, but they cared deeply for everything and every one of their opponents.
They gracefully ducked under the toxic spray of cleaning products. Understated, classy, not making a big show of themselves. It was how Espio tried to be in his daily life, but the Plagg in Catana tempted them to flip over the spray coming for him with a bow. Caught between their intentions, they staggered the landing of a flip. His partner's perfect heeled toe caught the back of his head, and they tipped him up next to them. He shorted out for a moment.
"I need her under the arch. Can you lead her that way?" They whispered especially quietly, lips barely moving. If they were any further from him, he'd never have heard, but their cheek was nearly on his. He almost didn't hear, but grinned giddily with excitement.
He looped his tail that tucked into the folds of his belt around the end of her hoover, and ran with it, being pelted with acid as he went. He hissed, but kept running.
"Not like that! I meant-" His partner whispered, and sighed as they weren't heard.
One mighty splash and his tail jumped off the hoover, a tinge of pink revealing as it curled reflexively. Catana howled slightly, ripping around and tackling the woman and pushing her under the arch, then stomped the acid spray-bottle into the ground.
"Care-ful!" His partner called suddenly, their voice breaking on the first as they tried to shout and their throat crackled from the dusty air. Catana sprang from the akumatised victims, his costume half soaked with bleach, soap and dust. His partner stood over his shoulder, coughing slightly, and pulled their trap closed around the victim.
"Your- belt-" They coughed, firmly stood behind him, with their hands on his shoulders. He twitched his tail on confusion, then spotted it was exposed, the colour hidden behind the wings of their cape. Un-Maid hissed and howled, swinging upside down under the arch de triomphe in a Yo-Yo string, but the red hero did not pay her any attention.
Catana looked suddenly small and scared, quickly unfirling his tail and wrapping it in the belt, a guilty look across his face as he grimaced apologetically at his partner. They didn't look at him, staring straight ahead.
"Oh, I see why you'd be worried - that pink thing? That's not a tail under my tail! You... caught me on the way to ballet! Under my suit, I'm wearing the prettiest pink skirt, with all these streamers, and-"
"Don't tell me that either." They sighed, vaulting over him to inspect the villain they'd caught.
Under his suit, Espio cringed at himself, watching his partner as they jabbed at the different instruments they shook off Un-Maid, searching for a filthy egg-laying Akuma. He also spotted the dustbunny she was conjuring above them.
"Cover your mouth!" He called as he redrew his staff and pole vaulted into the air to disspell the dust cloud. His partner complied instantly, but Un-Maid spotted it, and started spawning four more dustbunnys as she realised the red hero's weakness was showing.
She kicked dust from her free foot, and as they sheltered she loosened a hand and grabbed her hoover, reversing it to blow dust and sand about.
They tried to keep one arm covering their face, and despite Catana's best efforts started to look blue in the muzzle.
"You need a change of luck?" He offered, and although they tried to hold off for a minute more, started to wheeze, so Catana dashed away from them, skidding slightly in the soapy and dirty ground.
"You can't reach me up here!" he taunted Un-Maid as he ran up the wall. As ever, he was annoying enough to summon all attention, while his partner spun their Yo-yo over their head, weaving a charm into existence. He ducked and dodged, hanging upside-down on the ceiling and being careful to guard his tail.
The red hero on the ground caught a delicate red-and-black pincushion with needle in their hand. They sighed, thumbing the pointed black tip with their gloves. It wouldn't help them breathe, so what could this be used for? They had no time to think, as Catana was knocked off the top of the arch.
"Will you be okay, m'lady?" He asked mid swing for the villain. Under the arch gave him too much advantage, so Un-Maid tried to dart out, but he flicked his staff around to smack her back in.
The red hero assessed their opponent uncritically, with as little expectation as they could. She was - behind the dirt, grime and dust covering her - smartly dressed, with her hair once in a tidy bun, and a knee length dress with an apron. From said apron, she pulled all her weapons, big and small, so if they could just swipe the apron, they were sure they could find something deep in that pocket.
The red hero took their two long pony-tails and wrapped them around their face. The lady in them felt ridiculous, undignified, but the person who's quills they were couldn't care less about appearance.
"I need to get close." They said softly; "Stop her from going far."
As they spoke, Un-Maid attempted another escape from the arch, and Catana growled. He summoned dark energy in one paw that lit his eyes like fireflies and pulled his mouth taut in a terrifying cheshire grin.
"Cataclysm." He muttered, as his staff blocked one exit of the Arch, and he collapsed the other as his claw stroked the brick and it all rotted into rubble. He withdrew his hand before the ceiling above their heads fell down, disspelling the rest of the vicious spell. It kicked up dust and caused his partner to gasp, but he had just one exit to defend
They looped their yo-yo around a carving and twisted it around their ankle, as graceful as an acrobat on silks. They swooped out of the way as Catana distracted them, scampering around and howling dramatically with every hit.
On their first swing, they plucked the pin that rested in her hair as they passed her. She didn't notice, instead blasting Catana.
On their second swing, they deftly unpicked the knot tying her apron up. It dropped, and she grasped the ties, muttering as she sucked up the dust into her lungs, preparing to blast the red hero.
On their third swing, they were pelted with dusty breath, but they brushed right past her pocket, loosening a thread with the hairpin, so the whole contents spilled out.
Un-Maid squeaked, and tried to grasp the sprays, cloths, duster, hoover and water tank, but with burning lungs the red hero swung back, and swiped the only thing she should have been looking for: a slip of paper with her name on it. It glowed with dark purple energy, and the name on it had been scribbled out.
Un-Maid screamed and launched for her with more dusty breath, but Catana got there first, and smacked the other side of the Arch with the rest of his cataclysm, collapsing it around the two of them, as his partner was flung away on their wings.
"Catana!" They gasped, and that knocked the air out of them. They heaved in breaths as they landed on the rubble and started to dig, but the brickpile shifted slightly, groaning, and they refocussed.
They ripped the paper in two, and out unfurled a cursed butterfly with a bubbly stomach full of eggs. They shook it into the air, then caught it in their Yo-Yo, that opened with a snapper mouth and swallowed it. They swung it back to their hands, head spinning for lack of oxygen, but when they opened the Yo-Yo a pure white butterfly flittered out and away.
"Bye bye, butterfly..." They wheezed, inspecting the paper in their hand, then rushed to the rubble.
They threw stones away where they could see a black paw clawing out.
"Catana, what have you done..." They huffed, and their eyes sparked with tears from the pain in their throat. Catana's ring beeped as they pulled his arm, and they tapped their own earrings to feel for the bumps of beads in their earrings: 2/5, they had two minutes before they transformed back.
"But you can fix it, m'lady." He muttered, scratching at his head as he dragged himself out of the collapse. They sighed in relief and rolled their eyes.
"Be careful, would you?" They sighed, and scampered over the rubble to Un-Maid, who had been protected, they discovered, by Catana's staff that now held a large chunk of bricks over her head.
She snivelled and cried, no longer magical, but just an ordinary sheep woman in a broken Maids uniform.
The red hero knelt down to her, and took their needle and thread.
"I'm sorry for that." They whispered, and deftly stitched up her pocket; "I didn't mean to take away your dignity."
The maid sniffed and whimpered: "What have I done? I've ruined my life."
"No, you aren't to blame. I would be insulted too." They whispered, handing back her paycheck, docked so heavily that she would owe her employer money for missing one dusty corner and leaving a cloth on the side of the bath.
She snivelled and laughed softly, and the red hero smiled, still wheezing as they finished off the sewn edge.
As they stood their body shivered for lack of air, and Catana was at their shoulder to support them. The maid shuffled out of the way of the Arch, as the red hero threw their pincushion to the sky, where it dissolved into red ladybirds who descended to make the world right.
Where the monument was rebuilt, the two heroes found themselves atop of it, hidden from the world by the edges of the Arch.
Catana watched carefully as his partner held their chest and breathed deeply, leant forward to minimise pain.
"My friend has asthma. You should carry a pump." He said simply, leaning down too to check their face. They turned away.
"I do not. It's... my suit. The hero it embodies must share this problem."
"... Whatever you say m'lady. That was nice work. Always a pleasure to watch you in action!"
"... Good job Catana. See you soon, no doubt."
"Wait - but how did you use your charm?"
His partner squinted at the Maid being hounded by TV reporters who had sprung from the woodwork now that damage was not a risk.
"It was to let her feel dignified. If I couldn't give her some pride back, she would be at risk of re-akumatisation."
"So it was a Lucky Charm after all."
"They all are."
"Not exactly-" Catana started to say, but his ring beeped. "I just wanted to say; it's not luck. You're skilled. Nobody else thinks like you." He hurried up his words, as they tapped their heeled toe.
"So you say. The creator of this charm was an exceptional woman."
"M'lady, you're an exceptional woman."
"I am not an exceptional woman!" They barked suddenly, their voice gravelly and squeaky. For a moment, they didn't sound soft and dignified, but raspy and young, their throat crackly. Catana blinked, his heart thumping, as they regained their composure; "What I mean is, you don't know. We mustn't know our identities, it would make us vulnerable."
Catana gazed at them with eyes as wide as saucers. The hope they had that he hadn't noticed died, and they sighed, ready to swing away.
"Your secrets are always safe with me. I'd die before I betrayed you. And I know you'd never betray me." He said quickly, hand on their shoulder. Their white eyes in white irises hovered on his tail for a moment, and they nodded.
"I... know. Until next time, Catana."
"Goodbye... Have you settled on a name yet? I know you don't like Ladybug..." He emphasised the lady as he thought, his mind racing behind his eyes. They rolled their eyes, and returned to a whisper.
"No. I haven't. There's no need for anyone to refer to me."
"But how will I send my love letters to you? I'm sure they're just getting lost in the post, that's why you haven't replied!" He winked as he regained his pep. His partner rolled their eyes.
"Ladybug, Coccinelle, Red heroine. Any of those names the press gives me are fine for you, too." They sniffed slightly, and swung away.
"I wouldn't care if you weren't always ladylike." Catana called, but he didn't think they'd heard. His mind raced as he released his transformation and rebecame Espio. Back as a chameleon blended into the mended arch as he climbed down.
"She's not a lady? All this time, oh my god I've been driving her- him, them - to frustration!" He growled at the kwami who shot out of his ring, sniffing in his bag for cheese.
"What? No, you're wrong! She obviously just meant she's not fancy! The holder of the Ladybug Miraculous has always been a girl!" He rasped, and it reminded Espio of a new voice in his mind, and his heart ached.
"If you say so. It still doesn't matter." He said quietly to his knees, a small and tempered smile on his face.
"Sure it does! They seem all grumpy about it!"
Espio hummed quietly, and opened his bag.
"Can you eat while I walk: I agreed to meet Silver."
Plagg wolfed a wheel of cheese that had been carefully stashed in an airtight tupperware.
The grande and beautiful heroine of Paris launched herself into a bin faster than anyone could see, and out climbed a scruffy teenage hedgehog boy with greyish quills and a hacking cough. Silver opened his bag for his inhaler, and the red kwami of creation nestled in to eat biscuits.
"It'll be alright." She said softly in a voice as delicate as blossom. Silver puffed his inhaler and groaned.
"He's never gonna forget that." He wheezed. He clocked the odd stares he received and hurried on, chest still heaving.
"Slow down, Silver, no need to rush."
"Every need to rush! Espio said he'd be here, I hope he's okay! I didn't see him, but he's never late- oh shoot! I said I'd grab smoothies!" He floundered, but then spotted a pink figure studying the crowd of press around the arch, and squealed slightly.
"We have to go! I smell like a dustbin and I forgot what we came here for, and-"
"With respect, Silver, he's 'literally just a guy'. You're so much more than that."
Silver laughed to himself, attracting strange looks. Tikki, despite her fine graces and regality as the spirit of a fine heroine, had done her best to learn contemporary phrases to speak to Silver, who was already perpetually out of step with his time, too. He supposed they both compromised: day to day, Tikki tried to be a teenage boy's best friend, and when transformed he tried to be a classy genius queen, and walked in heels with the help of his weird telepathy quirk.
He stopped laughing and clasped his bag shut as Espio's eyes caught his, and he looked him up and down. His breath caught again.
"I'm sorry - I was gonna get the-"
"There was an Akuma attack here. I hope you stayed in cover." Espio said sharply, darting his eyes to the press. Silver nodded, his chest tight again.
"Yeah, talk about bad luck!"
"Not at all. The hero known as ladybug is always good luck." He sighed a little as he said it, his cheeks slightly pink, before he cast that thought aside; "Are you quite alright? We should go, it is quite dusty here."
Silver choked slightly, tugging his inhaler out his bag again. His throat stung, but his heart stung too seeing Espio excited by Ladybug. She was by any standards a beautiful woman, and the opposite of Silver, so he wished Espio didn't like her.
"She's just lucky too." He wheezed; "Lucky she gets to disappear off the scene while we get a crowd!" He laughed, following Espio with a slight skip. He couldn't believe his own luck that someone in the class above, who was also a detective apprentice, and secretly a ninja - if Silver had found the right anonymous blog - had made any time to see him at all. Silver didn't deserve to be his friend. It was greedy that he wanted to be more.
Espio looked around the recently mended pavements and hummed.
"No, they are incredible. Just think what they could do without all the trouble that comes with them." He gestured to the Arch and the earth. Silver grumbled something into his hoodie, then blushed as Espio fixed an eye on him.
"I beg your pardon?"
"I just said they're... she, I mean, she's really lucky she has Catana to do her dirty work. I mean, he gets all the flack for breaking stuff, but he wouldn't have to if she did her job right. And if he didn't take the blame for stuff, she'd be getting hounded like he is. Not like you guys would get that." He huffed.
Espio snorted. The investigation into the heroes true identity was certainly pointed more to Catana: he was considered far more dangerous and less controlled, and that worried his superiors immensely. It was also largely Espio's doing, as he was on the investigation team, and by focussing on Catana, he could be sure they were always on the wrong track. This way, he could protect his lady - or not-lady, as they preferred - from afar. They'd never know, of course. That was fine.
"What are you smilin' about?" Silver asked nervously, and Espio returned to the present: they were in the queue for smoothies, and Silver looked nervous for some reason. A lick of Plagg possessed him to tease.
"Are you infatuated with Catana?"
"What? Excuse me?"
"That isn't a no."
"Oh my god, no!" Silver squeaked indignantly, but Espio just took that as more evidence, so he had to dig further; "No, I just think she's overhyped!"
"Keep your treasonous thoughts to yourself."
"It's true! He seems like a cool and nice guy! But-not-like-that! Besides, he's a guy!"
"I'd have thought you of all people wouldn't hold that as important. You're always so progressive you're practically from the future."
Silver grinned slightly at that, but shook his head: "That's not what I meant! Let's not talk about Catana, he's just a cool guy. Besides... he likes ladybug."
Espio inclined his head, strangely tickled at what he thought he realised: "So I've heard. That would be a shame for anyone who liked him."
"... you guys wouldn't use that against him, would you? Try and get him to talk?" Silver hummed quietly. Espio grimaced: he knew Silver was one of the vocal objectors who hated the harrassing search for the heroes' true identities. He would tell anyone and everyone that it was feeding into Eggmoth's treachery, would put people in danger, distracted from the real enemy. Once again, he was at the bleeding edge, but Espio knew he was uncannily right. Still, it was awkward that his work seemed to be coming between their friendship.
He started to form an answer, but his phone rang.
"Espio! Lunch break is over, we've got a break for cracking Catana! Eye witness reports a curly tail!" Vector barked down the phone, just when they were one person away from the front of the queue.
"Apologies, I need to go." He mouthed to Silver. Silver opened and closed his mouth, swallowed, and spoke loudly enough for the chief detective to hear:
"I saw Catana there! He helped me get away from the dust! I saw his tail, I'll come with you!"
His heart pounded as he cringed at his own raspy voice. He assured himself he was doing it to protect Catana, but in his heart he knew it was to spend more time with Espio.
The chief on the end of the phone sighed.
"Is that your whackjob friend? Well, I guess you better bring him."
The line moved forward, and Silver ordered a smoothie as Espio hung up.
"Since I'm waiting for mine, you might as well order one too."
"I suppose I have no choice. You won't give mistruths to the state's investigation, will you Silver? Don't be political here, it may be held against you."
Silver sucked his teeth, then his straw: "Why would I lie? Not to protect Catana, that's for sure! And I totally saw it, his tail was... blue, and twisty, like a snake. Or it might have been black, cause ladybug's wings were in the way. It could have been a second belt, actually." He started rabbitting on, and Espio sighed in relief.

Here they are! The BOIs!
I hate drawing male characters (which is why this took so long) but we finally got it done!
Max is the only character who retains his age. I like the Kid Genius with his Jock friend archetype. He's 13 her and quite honestly looks younger. He met Kim on the first day of Highschool. They became best friends, and Max helps Kim study on the subjects he struggles in (Namely science and math) And Kim keeps him safe, both from potential bullies and getting trampled in the hall.
Speaking of Kim, fuck that plot line of him being a total ass, you can't make him a himbo in the making and then rip the rug out from under us! In this one Marinette either didn't have that experience or it was some rando. Kim does have a bit of crush on Chloe, he likes that she's very direct, but it never gets past that. And once Ondine expresses her interest, he changes focus. Kim is surprisingly good at History.
Nathaniel... We'll get back to-
Ivan is almost the exact same as cannon, I have no issues with Ivan or his relationship with Mylene. The only addition is he carries a lot of guilt about being the first akuma. The villains scare him about as much as the rest of the cast but he's terrified of the butterflies. Having your mind unexpectedly invaded messes with you. At least everyone else had Heard of Hawkmoth by the time they got akumatized.
Marc, I changed because I felt his and Nathaniel's personalities were a bit too similar. In this one, Marc is a bit more confident. He has aa pretty good group of friends, he already knows Nathaniel and Marinette. But he doesn't have much confidence in his writing. Which is why Marinette has to help him talk to Nath. Just trying to make him feel more like his own character, not an excessory to Nathaniel. Of course Marc isn't in the akuma class, which he is very happy about, but he fit here for the redesigns.
Okay! So Nathaniel- I don't really like him. He had like- 2 episodes where he's relevant (3 if you count Penalteam) but he's an akuma in his first and an ass in the second. Other than that he doesn't really do anything. But I don't want to pull a Thomas Austruc and character assassinate- so instead we are simply mostly removing him from the narrative- Here me out!
Nathaniel is in Marc's class, and he mostly interacts with the akuma class through Alix (His best friend) and Marinette who he knows from art club. His crush on Mari and later Ladybug is still there, they are teenagers after all. And Chloe still revealed his crush, though it wasn't so much to be cruel as it was just "Huh. Dupain-Cheng, figures", and he is very embarrased about this. I don't know how to re-write Reverser without making him an ass though, so I'll cross that bridge when I get to Marc's other designs. Please give me suggestions, I need help.
