Oh man someone else pointed out that another time he does that was in syren when he threatened to give up the ring its a similar pattern in the new york special and in kuro neko he doesnt really want to leave he wants to be chased but marinettes reaction is that he made his choice and she can't make him take it back (which is a reasonable reaction and why this tendency to test people is deeply unhealthy)
(Again marinette did literally chase adrien after he gave up the ring in the new york special but neither of then know that which I think is rewiring my brain)

dating adrien agreste
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing: adrien agreste / chat noir x gn!reader
tags: fluff, established relationship, mentions of gabriel hating you, identity reveal, mention of jealousy, pet names
Tumblr media
if you're dating adrien, be prepared for gabriel to absolutely hate you
since you're trying to encourage his son to do the things he enjoys and to be himself, you'll often get into arguments with gabriel
he'll probably even encourage adrien to break up with you, which leads to you and adrien only dating each other in secret
adrien is often sneaking out to visit you, more than often even as chat noir, despite you not knowing his identity by that point
oftentimes he'll detransform in a back alley and visit you as adrien, but when he doesn't have much time, he'll pay you a visit as chat noir!
sometimes he'll slip into his chat noir persona when he's visiting you as adrien, even before he reveals his identity to you
you'll probably just think he's being playful that day, until he eventually lets the cat out of the bag and reveals to you that he is chat noir 
(but you really have to promise him to never tell anyone about it or ladybug is going to kill him if she finds out he told you he's chat noir–)
plagg is going to absolutely love you! he already heard so much about you from adrien and he always tries to help him out with you!
if you're dating adrien, he's going to give you some very sweet nicknames like my love, angel or beautiful
and as chat noir, he's going to call you princess or mouse
though once you know about his secret identity, he sometimes switches up the nicknames and calls you princess as adrien or my love as chat noir
you're sometimes surprised that adrien and chat noir are the same person, given how different they tend to act
adrien isn't very jealous – or at least he doesn't show it – but chat noir always steps in when he sees another boy talking to you
but both adrien and chat noir have one thing in common – they are very protective of you!
adrien has seen so much evil as chat noir, that he simply can't ignore it, even as a civilian
every time there's an akuma attack, he's making sure you are safe – whether he is adrien or chat noir at that moment!

Never has Gabriel's manipulation of Adrien has been so open and clear.
He has suddenly turned so good that even Adrien is surprised: imagine being baffled to hear that your father is in the kitchen.
Gabriel is effectively weaponising his care for Adrien to manipulate him. He tells him to call him: dad, instead of father. Which is like, parenting 101, right? And just as Adrien is so benevolently opening up to him and accepting that his father has changed for the better, he literally pulls him out of school, realising Adrien's worst nightmare, to the point of making his friends get worried that Adrien will get akumatised. Oh and let's not forget how Gabriel immediately takes back the sliver of normalcy he had accorded to Adrien by asking him to call him "father" again.
And Adrien's fear when they try to get Gabriel akumatised? He keeps repeating how his father will be angry, enraged even (his words, not mine!). His hesitation when he drops the pasta on Gabriel's chest, the way he panics thereafter and apologises multiple times?
The fact that Gabriel has no hesitation playing with his son's emotions is sickening. He fakes having a psychotic episode (honestly, that studio has been trashed so much at this point) knowing that Adrien will witness him. No child should witness their parent losing control as such, lashing out physically, to begin with. But Gabriel effectively plans for Adrien to see him as such.
And the guilt-tripping. Oh no, look at that, I got akumatised because I was trying to be a better father and I failed dramatics, effectively shifting the blame of his akumatisation to Adrien. The way he responds when Adrien rightfully voices his discomfort of being the face of a wide-used AI helper; "say the word and things can go back to the way they were before." He says it in a sweet way, but in the context of his abrupt change, how could Adrien perceive it as anything but a threat that if he doesn't obey to his father's wishes, he will stop getting his love and care?
Conditional love at its best. Gabriel very openly displays in this episode that he will love, care, protect Adrien only as long as he obeys to him unconditionally.
To finish with Plagg's comment on Adrien AI in the Alliance: "since your father made a virtual model of you and Lila, you are virtual puppets."
Gabriel doesn't want a son. He wants a puppet.

When Plagg meets Adrien, he can smell Duusu on him. Plagg knows exactly what that means - and it's not hard to figure out where the feather must be.
In this version of events, instead of trying to tell Adrien to disobey his father, Plagg tells him what the loopholes in Gabriel's orders are.
"He said you couldn't leave the press conference until it was over, but he never said you couldn't be the one to end it."
"He said you had to put on that outfit, but he didn't say you couldn't take it off again immediately after."
"He said he didn't want to hear the name Marinette, but you can still talk about Baker Girl." Et cetera
With Plagg's guidance, Gabriel's magical control over Adrien becomes essentially negligible, for the most part. Of course, still being Adrien's father, he still holds some sway in the boy's heart, but at least now Adrien is choosing whether to take Plagg up on those loopholes.

In retrospect, it's pretty clear why Adrien wasn't there to learn Monarch was his father in The Final Day.
Namely because "Chat Blanc" and "Ephemeral" each explained why.
His intense emotions over seeing his mother and learning his father became a villain in order to save her would be too good of an opportunity to akumatize him against Ladybug.
Thus Adrien benching himself is essentially the reason why Marinette was able to knock the Moth Miraculous off Gabriel and talk him down.
However... this only means that there's an extra layer of despair painted upon what would've been Adrien's angst over his father's dark secret. Clearly, his father's "sacrifice" is what keeps him going in believing his final moments were heroic.
So what happens when Adrien learns that not only was his father trying to bring back Emilie and became a villain to do so but that he also went out after causing Operation: Alliance to start with. No way to confront his father about this reveal and even Nathalie would be hard pressed for a straight answer.
Hell, I can imagine him crossing the line and forcing Plagg to spill the beans at his direct command. He and Marinette have been good in never, if ever, enforcing rules upon Tikki or Plagg so... woo.
And with Lila likely possessing this information be it from what Hoaxer got out of Nathalie or Nooroo, something tells me that we're in for something far, FAR worse than Chat Blanc if that's even feasibly possible. Perhaps only that the Lucky Charm can't easily undo.
Aaaaaaaaaand that's why there was more of a benefit to keep Adrien to the side for Season 5's finale. If you can't feel the storm that's slowly brewing, better get an umbrella now.

Scarlet Lady: Origins (Part 1)
Directory
That blasted girl! she thought. She had been the queen of this class of pathetic, poor peasants for years, and Dupain-Cheng, who was the worst of the lot, had somehow got a spine to replace the baguette she once had!
Baguette, ha! I kill myself.
Maybe that new girl, Cesar or whatever, had something to do with it, but she needed to make sure Dupain-Cheng got the message that no one got away with messing with Chloé Bourgeois, the Princess of Paris!
“I’ve got to get back at that upstart Marinette and Alya for talking back to me,” she muttered, and she looked towards the girl, who was distracted doing whatever homework she had missed, the clumsy idiot. And she also saw her bag - seriously, what a horrible thing, not even a Dior! - unattended to a side.
Struck by a brilliant idea, she carefully walked towards the bag and put her hand inside. Maybe she could find something she could use to put her down, back into her place. Her fingertips touched something wooden and polished, and when she grabbed it and pulled out, she saw that it was an eight-sided box that looked really old and expensive.
Hahahaha! This is probably an old family heirloom! she thought, crowing to herself with an evil smile. She’ll be totally freaked when she can’t find it! Perfect!
As she left back for her seat, Marinette remained completely oblivious to what just happened.
And would remain so for months.
----
Perhaps, if she had known what that act of thievery would bring her, Chloé Bourgeois might not have carried it out.
Perhaps.
But Chloé Bourgeois was never one to think on the long-term consequences of her actions.
----
Back home from that peasants’ building known as Collège Françoise Dupont, Chloé sat on her bed and picked the box she had purloined - not robbed, robbing is something those who are pathetic do! - and admired its colors. 
“A pity that this was wasted in that family of boulangers,” she said. “Let’s see what kind of treasure I won. Hee hee!”
And she opened the box.
----
Within the box, the kwami known as Tikki had been waiting for this moment for quite some time. Master Fu had shown her how her future holder, Marinette, looked and acted like, and she knew it would be a wonderful partnership. With Nooroo and the Butterfly Miraculous in the hands of someone who would use it for evil, someone needed to act - and who better than the girl that showed strength of character and compassion in every act?
The box opened. This was her moment!
“Hello, Marinette!” she said, smiling. “Please, don’t be afraid, everything’s--!”
The light that usually covered this kind of thing vanished... and she saw that the person in front of her was clearly not Marinette. Blonde, long hair in a ponytail, rather than black and held in pigtails. Blue, cruel eyes instead of innocent blue. Features of Caucasian ascendancy instead of Chinese.
Conclusion: Master Fu had made a mistake.
“WHO ARE YOU?!” Tikki screamed, trying to make a sense of what had happened.
“THAT’S MY LINE!!!” the girl screamed even louder.
----
Elsewhere in Paris, a boy by the name of Adrien Agreste had discovered a similar box, containing a ring and the kwami known as Plagg. After the terrible day he had had, with his attempt to finally go to school thwarted by Nathalie and his bodyguard, he had listened to the cat-like creature and jumped into the chance to become something he had always wanted to be.
A Superhero.
“THIS IS GONNA BE AWESOME!!!”
----
He would regret those words soon enough.
----
Chloé couldn’t make heads or tails of what this little bug was telling her.
Going out there to fight some monster that had suddenly shown up?
"You’re the only one who can stop the Akuma!” the bug said.
As in, doing something sweaty?
“You use Lucky Charm to save the day?”
Helping other people? Her mere presence was enough to do that! She didn’t need to do like Majestia and waste her precious time in making people think they had any value beyond doing what she wanted.
“You have a partner?!”
And not even a way to claim the credit! No, she had to share it with some no-name peasant, and she couldn’t tell anyone she was the one that had saved their lives! No, she had to hide herself for whatever dumb, irrelevant reason the bug had mentioned, something about someone wanting to rob the earrings she had purloined from Dupain-Cheng.
But the bug was persistent. It kept pestering her until she agreed to it.
Well, maybe she could actually do something and bask in the love of the masses.
----
At the Dupain-Cheng’s house, Marinette thought she had earned a prize for finally telling Chloé off for being a jerk, so she had made herself some popcorn and gone to watch TV, where the usual programming had been replaced by a live newscast.
Un Super-Vilain Á Paris?
A giant creature, who for some reason the newscast had identified as Stoneheart, had shown up in the middle of the city, and was causing quite a lot of chaos.
“Stoneheart is moving toward the Montparnasse Tower!” Nadja Chamack reported, clearly shaken by the current events, as the titan punched a car and sent it flying several meters away.
“Sucks,” Marinette said, munching on her popcorn. Not like there was much she could do. If she were part of something like United Heroez, she would probably jump into action, but she was a civilian, so--
“The monster... seems to be unstoppable!”
And, as Stoneheart kept ambling towards its target, at the down left corner of the screen, Marinette saw something.
Or, rather, someone.
“ALYA!!! What are you doing?!”
----
How does Lois Lane always look so perfect when she does this?! Alya Césaire thought, panting as she pedaled behind Stoneheart. This could be the start of her journalist career!
----
“I’m starting to get the hang of this,” Adrien - no, Chat Noir, that was his superhero name - said, following the trail Stoneheart was leaving behind.
“aaaaaaaaAAAAAHHHHH!”
Pain.
Before he could react, someone had crashed on him, and now the two of them were tangled in some sort of thin rope and hanging upside down. And, as he recovered his sight, he was met with someone wearing a domino mask, similar to his, but red with black polka dots.
This had to be the partner Plagg had mentioned! Well, maybe he could break the ice and begin with a good joke.
“Well, nice of you to drop in!”
“Omigod, no.”
Seriously? Not even a smile?
Tough crowd.
The girl in red pulled on something, and the rope around them suddenly became untangled, causing them both to fall to the ground.
“Say, what’s your name, partner?”
“Why should I tell you?” she replied, with a tone that reminded him too much of his father talking down to someone else - usually him.
“I’m Chat Noir! Nice to meet you!” A loud noise reminded him that Stoneheart was still loose, and he swung back in action. “Come on! Stoneheart seems to be going for the Parc des Princes!”
“Stone-who?” he thinks he hears her say, but it might have just been his imagination. He didn’t pay it any mind.
It was time to be a hero!
----
Sabine Dupain-Cheng looked in shock as her darling daughter nearly crashed down the stairs and towards the door, a look of dread in her face.
“Marinette, where are you going? Lunch is almost over.”
“Out because my new best friend is INSANE!!!”
The bell clinked as Marinette opened the door, picked her bike and started to pedal westward.
“What’s going on here?” she wondered. Well, she would certainly learn about it later.
----
Chat Noir charged towards Stoneheart, his new staff - he could make it grow like Goku did, which was amazing - in hand, and attacked the creature, distracting it from the guy it was trying to attack.
BANG! the staff sounded as it hit Stoneheart’s head.
And then Stoneheart grew in size.
“Oh shit, he’s bigger!” he said, dodging an attack. “Where are you, partner?”
Looking around, he saw his partner standing at the top of the stadium.
“Ah, there!” Good, she could jump in and help him stop Stone- wait, was that a compact mirror?
She was preening in front of a mirror while he was here, risking his life?
“HEY!!!” he shouted, dodging another attack.
----
It looked like that mangy cat had everything well in hand, so she didn’t need to do anything at all! Whew! She could just stand here and let him do all the work, that was what peasants were for, after all.
“What are you waiting for, Super Red Bug?” a voice said from below, and Chloé Bourgeois turned to see the new girl down below, a cellphone in her hands.
“Ugh, you again.”
“The world is watching you!” Césaire said, gleaming and smiling.
“The world is watching...?”
Oh my god, this was perfect! She could jump in, easily put a stop to the monster and bang! Instantly famous! The adoration of all Paris was at hand!
She closed her new compact mirror and grinned.
----
Chat Noir was starting to feel that maaaaaaybe he was a bit over his head. Nothing he could do to Stoneheart could stop him, and it was a hard task to just keep dodging everything. And, of course, his partner refused to do anything.
Stoneheart had grabbed one of the goals with its gigantic left hand, and was clumsily attempting to swing it at him, but fortunately his years of fencing had given him the reflexes to avoid such a large object, and the suit was actually making him faster and stronger!
But then Stoneheart tossed the goal - and it was clear the target was not him, but a red-haired, dark-skinned girl that seemed to have followed them into the stadium.
Oh, no!! he thought, and he turned about to attempt to stop the large object from hitting the girl.
“ALYA!”
Before he could act, someone else, a girl with black bluish hair in a pair of cute pigtails, tackled the red-haired girl out of the way.
“You came!” the red-haired girl - Alya - said.
“Yeah, but why did you?!” the new girl replied.
Whew, crisis solved. Now, he had to find out how to stop Stoneheart, quickly, before it could cause further disruption.
“Cat boy!” the pigtailed girl said, and he felt her hand on his shoulder.
“It’s Chat Noir, actually!” he replied, turning to look at her - and wow, she was quite cute and blushing.
“He doesn’t open his fist!”
“Good note, thanks! Maybe you should be a hero!”
Anyone could be better than his "partner". Not that that was a high bar to surpass.
“Priorities!” the girl said.
----
Chloé could only see red. That blasted cat had said that Dupain-Cheng should be a hero? Ha! As if!
She jumped and kicked Stone-whatever in the head, sending it tumbling away as she turned to the cat and her classmate.
“WHAT DID YOU SAY?!” she shouted.
“Wow, wow, calm down! Maybe we need to use our powers to stop him? Cataclysm! My power destroys anything,” the cat said, his right hand covered in some sort of icky black thing.
“How barbaric. And useless. Like you.”
“Did I look cool?”
The cat thought he was cool? She wanted to laugh.
“Absolutely not.”
The cat grabbed the large net thing that had fallen nearby with his right hand, and suddenly the white on the stick became black, and in seconds the entire thing had disintegrated into dust.
She was sickened to have to admit it, but that trick left her hair standing.
“Jesus...”
“So, what about yours?” the cat challenged her.
You’re going to swallow those words, you mangy cat!
“Lucky Charm!” she declaimed. After a flash of pink, she felt something heavy in her hands, that seemed to be made of rubber and looked a lot like this unfashionable costume she was wearing. “Oh, ha ha, Tikki.”
“So, how useful is your power?” he taunted her, and she angrily threw the thing at him.
“Why not ask your other partner?!”
“You just don’t want to work,” he muttered. Well, of course she didn’t! Work was something someone as important as her shouldn’t be bothered with!
You’ll come crawling back to me once you see how useless Clumsinette is, she thought, grinning at the idea of her rival doing anything useful at all.
“Cat boy, run interference!”
“it’s Chat Noir!”
“Alya, the tap!”
“You got it!”
What.
----
Chat Noir followed the black-haired girl’s instructions. The moment he had given her the polka-dotted red wetsuit, she had immediately come up with a plan. It was a bit risky, particularly since he would have to let himself get captured, but something told him he could trust her.
His trust was rewarded. The girl had managed to trick Stoneheart into grabbing her and the wetsuit, dropping a purple rock from its closed right fist, and then Alya had opened the hose tap, filling the wetsuit to grow and forcing Stoneheart’s fist open. The girl had quickly jumped out, ran for the rock and stomped on it, letting out a black butterfly and a crumpled piece of paper.
And Stoneheart transformed back into a large boy that looked to be his age.
The girl picked up the note and ran for the large boy, shouting what he presumed was his name, as his ring began to beep.
“What’s the noise mean?”
“Dunno, I didn’t read the manual,” he said. Maybe he should have waited for Plagg to explain everything before transforming?
----
“Kim wrote it. He’s always making fun of me,” Ivan confessed to his classmate.
“Pa, don't worry about him. He cried when we saw The Little Mermaid when we were 10.”
He chuckled.
----
Chloé grabbed the rubber thing - now empty of water - and attempted to rip it, but it only stretched without giving in.
No one’s paying attention to me!
How could this be? She was Chloé Bourgeois! The Princess of Paris! Everyone’s eyes should be on her! All the boys should be in love with her! Everyone should worship her! But here they were, paying attention to a mangy cat and Bruel who got his dumb arse turned into a monster, instead of her!
Oh, wait. Tikki had said something about this, right? That she could fix stuff broken by the monsters with this Lucky Charm thing?
“Hey, reporter girl! Catch this! MIRACULOUS LADYBUG!”
The Lucky Charm transformed into a cloud of ladybugs that flew around everything Bruel had destroyed as Stone-whatever. In moments everything was back to its normal state - still below the quality she demanded of everything, of course.
“Whoa!!” Césaire said, and she rushed towards her, cellphone in hand. “Incredible! You can fix everything?! Hey, what do we call you, Wonderbug?!”
Now, that was closer to what she expected. Still not enough simpering, but closer.
“Well, obviously not that. Let’s see...”
----
Chat Noir was tired. Fighting Stoneheart had taken out a lot off him. And he realized that maybe the beeping was some kind of count down.
And then he heard his ‘partner’ proclaim to have saved the day ‘in spite of her clumsy partner’s inability to do anything right’.
“You... you didn’t do anything,” he muttered, astonished of her credit stealing. But then the beeping became more insistent and he left: he had to return home before someone noticed he wasn’t in his room.
Somehow, the beginning of being a hero had become nothing like he had thought it would be.
----
Fu sipped on his favorite tea, relaxing after a long day. Wayzz had reported that the negative energy of the Butterfly had vanished, which meant that young Marinette and young Adrien had managed to stop Stoneheart and captured the corrupted butterfly transforming him. Good. Ah, if only he were a few decades younger! He would have been able to go out there and guide the two young heroes in the matters of the Miraculous.
Wayzz clicked on the remote to turn on the TV and see if the news were mentioning anything about the attack.
“... our new hero, Scarlet Lady...”
He turned to look at the screen, only to notice something strange, because the girl wearing the Ladybug Miraculous didn’t resemble his Chosen wielder at all-
“... thanks to amateur footage by local student, Alya Césaire...”
-and then the screen showed Marinette and a red-haired girl he supposed was this Alya Césaire, smiling at the camera.
“Wait...” Wayzz said. The problem was clear: if Marinette was there in her civilian clothes, who was wearing the Ladybug Miraculous?
He barely noticed as his teacup crashed into the floor.
----
“So... her name is Scarlet Lady...”
Plagg was a bit disturbed by his bearer’s angry face. What in the holy name of Camembert had happened to leave him like he had gone a few rounds with trying to swallow some mushrooms?
“I’ll call her Scar for the scars she leaves on my life.”
Uh-oh.
----
Tikki enjoyed the cookies Chloé had offered her.
But she still wondered why she was here, instead of with Marinette.
And she remembered there was something she hadn’t explained.
“Did you catch the akuma?”
Chloé gave her what she supposed was what humans called the ‘deer-in-the-headlights’ look.
“Huh?”
Uh-oh.

ML What if
(What if it was Adrien that confronted Monarch not Marinette?)
-Marinette had learned the secret, but unlike in canon, the nightmares were far too much for her.
-as for Adrien, having been exposed to the nightmare longer. He realized he couldn’t just sit around. He needed to get home. He needed to talk with his father.
-thanks to Plagg’s meddling. He managed to get out of his room. Transform and escape.
-Marinette realized she couldn’t deal with the nightmares, but someone needed to go. She told Tikki to find Chat noir.
-With Adrien missing, Gabriel delayed his plan. He wanted to ensure Adrien was secure before phase two.
-Chat noir made it to Paris. He needed to confront his father.
-but part of him figured it would be best to sneak in.
-The event of Nathalie trying to stop Gabriel happened the same, but Adrien saw it was Monarch, and was shocked at the reveal.
-After he left he went to Nathalie. Who told Chat noir about the video.
-Chat noir detransformed, showing Nathalie his face.
-Nathalie cried, apologizing to him… but told him not to tell his father. He will use his power over him to get his ring.
-“Power? What power?”
-Nathalie collapsed (presumably dead.)
-Adrien took the phone and watched the video. He learned the truth.
-Gabriel realized he couldn’t delay any longer. He went to phase two. The Miraculized start honing in.
-Adrien told Plagg he knew what he needed to do.
-He transformed.
-He left a message for ladybug. But he didn’t realize Ladybug had sent Tikki to find a replacement.
-Alya declined Tikki like she did Plagg in canon.
-When the Miraculized arrived, Tikki found the portal and found Adrien.
-Adrien ending up detransformed in the kitchen. Holding his arm in pain.
-Monarch had found chat noir, hiding in the sink.
-He was shocked, finding out his own son was chat noir, only to laugh.
-“At least this makes it easier. Adrien, as your father I order you to hand over the miraculous.”
-Adrien stood up.
-“Tikki, Plagg, Unify.”
-“What!”
-Punch! Monarch went flying back.
-“Adrien! How are you defying me!?”
-“Noir Bug. And I’m not letting you hurt anyone else!”

Tumblr media
(Adrien Agreste/Chat Noir x reader)
This was highly requested! Thank you all for the support. The fact that KKFIL got so much support shocks me! I appreciate all of you!
< Part one
Tumblr media
"You're pathetic." Plagg said ever so bluntly in-between his chews. He took another bite of cheese, crumbs falling onto Adrien's newly cleaned desk, "Just admit that you like them and move on."
Adrien grumbled in response, "I don't like them, Plagg." 
Living with the kwami of destruction always presented a challenge. There wasn't a day that passed by without the mischievous cat trying to pull some dirty prank behind Adrien's back. At first, he didn't mind it. It added something new to his day, and it was usually harmless.
But apparently hiding his phone or ruffling his hair before a photoshoot wasn't enough for Plagg anymore, because as of late, he's been turning off Adrien's alarm so he doesn't wake up for school on time. So now he was stuck in this position, shoving everything in his backpack last minute while trying to rush out the door.
Right now wasn't exactly the best time for him and Plagg to be having a conversation about his upside-down love life.
"You don't like them?" Plagg pushed, "Sure, and cheese is my worst enemy."
"Look Plagg, it's too early for this conversation." 
"So let's end it right here with you admitting that you like them."
"Get in my jacket or I'm throwing out the cheese you stored in my desk." Adrien opened up his jacket as Plagg let out a shrill gasp before immediately flying into his pocket. 
"For the record, this is called manipulation."
"You're insufferable sometimes."
Tumblr media
Monday.
Adrien walked into the classroom ten minutes late, and he'd never forgive Plagg for ruining his perfect on-time attendance. 
He huffed and sat down next to Nino.
"Woah, dude, you look like shit. Totally unexpected from the model of the class."
Adrien smiled at Nino's bluntness, "I had a bit of a rough morning." He made sure to subtly flick his pocket as he said that. He felt Plagg pinch his side in retaliation.
"Yeah, I can tell." Nino shook his head, turning his attention back to the teacher. Adrien wanted to follow suit, but he couldn't help but notice you.
You sitting in your desk.
You looking wonderful as ever.
You…staring…right at him.
He smiled and waved.
You waved back.
And time stopped.
He wished he could sit next to you. Ask about your morning, hold your hand under the table, and pass notes throughout the class, giggling every time you nearly get caught.
But, alas, he wasn't sitting next to you, he wasn't holding your hand, and passing notes from this distance would be a guaranteed detention. 
Life was cruel and unfair sometimes.
"Psst." He raised a brow at you, silently asking you what you needed. You smiled, looking a bit bashful as you put your fingers to your lips and blew him a kiss.
Maybe life wasn't so cruel and unfair.
Tumblr media
Tuesday.
"Are you ok? You look tired." 
Your voice was something Adrien would never get tired of, and it was just the remedy he needed after dealing with an akuma who had a…not so melodic voice. 
The fight was harder than he had assumed it would be. A few scratches littered his arms and legs while stubborn strands refused to stick with the rest of his gelled and styled hair. Though most of the ringing had gone away, his hearing hadn't quite recovered yet. He questioned the miraculous ladybug and why it decided that fixing a civilian's ripped tie was important, but Adrien (the person who helped stop the villain) would have to suffer the rest of the day with hearing loss. It needed to get its priorities straight.
You looked him up and down, your nose scrunched at the sight, "Did you lose a fight to a pigeon or something?"
"Very funny." He reached to scratch the back of his neck, but quickly remembered how Plagg had made fun of him for doing that when he got nervous the night before, and quickly put his hand down. "I tripped. I can only imagine how happy my father will be when he sees me." Adrien laughed, "I have a photoshoot after school. He's going to kill me."
You smiled awkwardly, "And you're laughing about that?"
He paused, realizing how strange it must've seemed for him to be laughing at the idea of upsetting his father and maybe another day, he would've been more worried than joyful…but…
A part of him felt like sticking it to his dad. It was something he never would've considered doing before, but dressing up in a cat costume everyday can change a man.  
"Well, good luck with your dad." You pressed a kiss to his cheek and turned to leave. He could still feel it on his cheek, his face growing increasingly warmer. 
"You like them~" Plagg whispered.
"It's completely platonic."
Tumblr media
Wednesday.
A festival was in town.
Adrien didn't exactly get permission to go, so he had his good old friend, Chat Noir, help him get to where he needed to be. It was a risky game he was playing, but he couldn't miss seeing you.
You ran into his arms the second you saw him, hugging him for longer than necessary (not that he was mad about it).
You walked through multiple booths, picking up small snacks.
Soon a dance broke out, and Adrien couldn't resist asking you to dance. 
He bowed deeply, grabbing your hand and pressing a kiss to it. "Would you like to dance?"
You looked bashful.
It suddenly didn't feel so platonic anymore.
Tumblr media
Thursday.
You were trapped in a closet with him. 
Chat noir had run in to detransform, not realizing that you had already occupied the space.
He tried to quickly turn back and leave, but the door handle broke in his hands, leaving the two of you in the closet alone. 
"So…you like jazz?" Chat asked. He felt like banging his head against the wall. Talking to you was so easy as Adrien, but it was difficult as Chat Noir. 
How could pretend like he knew nothing of you when all he did was think about you?
You gave him a very confused look, "Uh…is the akuma gone?"
"Yeah! And so is the doorknob!" 
The joke didn't land as well as he wanted it to. You just nodded and shifted back and forth on your feet. He was terrible at this.
He knew the two of you couldn't stay in there forever, but the only way you could get out was if he cataclysmed the door….
But in order to do that, he'd have to detransform.
"Do you mind closing your eyes?"  
"Uh…how come?" 
"I need to detransform."
You stared at him for a few more minutes. He wondered what you thought of Chat Noir. He had never asked you about it before.
He could only hope that you liked him. 
You finally closed your eyes, and Chat whispered the magic words that rid him of his magic.
Plagg shook his head disapprovingly at the blonde, though Adrien wasn't sure what the cat wanted. There was nothing else he could do, and he knew you would be trustworthy. 
He fed Plagg quickly.
"I just wanted to say…"
Adrien froze, scared you would someone know it was him if he breathed too loudly.
"I'm very grateful for what you and Ladybug do for Paris…really. Thank you."
Adrien smiled, relaxing slightly. He wished to respond, but without the quantum magic to mask his voice, he knew speaking would only screw him over. Thankfully, you seemed to understand that, as you didn't say anything about his silence.
He waited for Plagg to finish eating before transforming back. 
He cataclysmed the door and stepped to the side, "Victims in distress first!" 
You smiled and stepped out, he followed quickly.
"Thanks again."
"There's nothing to thank me for, all I did was get you stuck in a closet."
You laughed, "I meant for stopping the akuma…and getting me out of the closet."
You smiled, and Chat could've sworn his heart stopped. He wanted to kiss you now more than ever.
Not on the cheek.
Not on the hand.
A real kiss.
Chat couldn't do such a thing, but he knew someone who could.
Tumblr media
Friday.
It was raining. 
Neither you nor Adrien brought an umbrella.
The smart option would be to seek shelter immediately, but instead you ran in the rain.
Adrien had offered to walk you home, and during the walk, rain poured down on you. It wasn't cold or uncomfortable, but freeing. Your clothes stuck to your sides and your poor shoes would struggle in the puddles, but you didn't care. You didn't care because Adrien had grabbed you by the hand, leading you down the street in a fit of giggles.
Each drop of rain let out its own ring, like the weather was singing its own love song for the both of you.
You twirled and spun, grabbing both of Adrien's hands. He seemed flustered, but he effortlessly followed your movements. 
Perfectly in rhythm, you and Adrien were stuck in your own world.
"I love you." 
You stopped, face heating up as you locked eyes with a now embarrassed Adrien. 
"What?"
"I…I love you." He repeated. Despite his stutter, his voice was confident. He couldn't be more sure of his words.
You smiled, "I know, I heard you the first time." 
You leaned forward and pressed your lips to his.
Finally, your first real kiss.

Idk while both kids could benefit from a better support system it doesn’t really seem like Adrien is lacking in the one he already has? As in, he seems to have satisfied most of his emotional support needs with Plagg, plus he has Nino and the rest of the class setting up surprise parties and providing hugs so like. I think what he needs is less tlc and more someone just telling him straight to his face exactly what he’s doing wrong and what he needs to fix. Kagami and Felix tried this approach, albeit ineffectively, but now they’re too distracted making out with each other to tell Adrien when he needs to be honest with himself and actually face his issues. I guess what I’m trying to say is he needs a stern but understanding mentor, not another emotional support character.

Miraculous fanart: Chloebug Date + Miraculous rewriting: Chloenette AU (Season 1)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I publish some new Chloenette images.
It's the sequel of my previous post
Season 2 rewrite
Time for the rewriting !
The Story and its changes:
Season 1:
Origins/Stoneheart:
Hawkmoth begins his villainous actions.
Marinette rescues Master Fu. At the Françoise Dupont school, she seats with Alya and eventually befriends with her.
Akumatized Ivan (Stoneheart) tracks down down Kim for revenge.
Marinette and Adrien meet their kwamis (Tikki and Plagg). They become Ladybug and Cat Noir.
After the first battle, Marinette thinks about to secretly give the Ladybug earrings to someone but hesitates between Alya, Sabrina and Chloé.
When Marinette and Adrien meet first time, there isn't any chewing-gum incident. Instead of, Chloé just roasts Marinette and Alya (in Chloé's mind, she imagined Marinette and Alya as a potential date: Ridiculous !). Adrien is uncomfortable about the blondie's behavior.
Adrien befriends with Nino who learns him to be friends with real honest people.
Stoneheart comes back. He kidnaps Mylène and Chloé. The latter openly mocks the Myvan (Mylène + Ivan) ship as she already laughed of Ivan being a "monster".
Stoneheart throws out Chloé from the Eiffel Tower. Meanwhile, Marinette, who becomes Ladybug again, saves Chloé in extremis.
Hawkmoth publicly introduces himself to Parisians and claims the Ladybug's and Cat Noir's miraculouses.
The two heroes deakumatize Ivan. They save Ivan and Mylène of their fall.
Adrien/Cat Noir develops a love crush on Ladybug.
After the Stoneheart's second incident, Marinette and Alya steal Chloé's and Sabrina's seats in class. In this AU, Marinette stands up against Chloé and convinces the latter to sit at the desk of the first rank (the Chloé's and Sabrina's initial seats). Chloé accepts these terms, she can see Adrien/Adrikins at her left.
The umbrella scene happens, Adrien tells to Marinette his life before his first day at Françoise Dupont school. Effectively, Marinette begins to have feelings on Adrien. She falls in love with him (same situation in canon but without the Derision trauma but she's just: Shy !).
In same time, Chloé expresses thanks to Ladybug on social media. Due to events, she develops a crush on Ladybug and tries to forget Marinette. Meanwhile, the blondie is still confused between the bakery girl and Adrikins.
The Bubbler:
Marinette tries to offer her blue scarf to Adrien for his birthday (same way as in canon).
When Chloé comes to wish happy birthday to Adrien, she doesn't hustle Marinette.
Nino is akumatized into The Bubbler, sends all adults to the sky (except Gabriel Hawkmoth) and forces all the teenage people from Paris to celebrate Adrien's birthday in a form of a "party".
In this AU, Chloé offers to Marinette a dance but the latter politely declines because she must go to put the post-it on the gift. Chloé layer dances with Adrien anyway.
Ladybug properly interupts the Bubbler's party (no jealousy crisis like there was in canon).
Ladybug and Cat Noir save the day by deakumatizing Nino.
The next day, Adrien wears the scarf and he believes it's his father who offered it to him. That surprises Marinette when he tells thar to her, Alya ans Nino but she chooses to not reveal herself about the scarf.
Alya comforts Mari. Mari comforts Chloé (the latter was angry about having her gift get delayed).
Mr Pigeon:
The Design contest happens. The major difference is Chloé doesn't try to copy Marinette's designs. Instead of that, she makes Sabrina to create the bowler hat for service.
Sabrina's Chloé's hat could have yellow/golden colours.
But Marinette eventually wins the contest with her feather-themed hat. She is even praised by Gabriel Agreste and Adrien.
The battle against Mr Pigeon happens. No modification of the canon.
Lady Wifi:
Alya discovers Chloé has got a yo-yo in her bag. She believes she is Ladybug.
With the help of Nino, she tries to inspect Chloé's locker. She is eventually busted.
Chloé fires Alya causes the expellment of Alya out of the school by blackmailing Mr Damocles.
In this AU, Chloé rids off a rival ridiculous but 'nuisible' girl while Sabrina feels guilty about Alya's expellment (she recognizes in discretion Chloé's Mr Damocles decision is too excessive).
Lady Wifi events are happening like in canon. But Ladybug finds out Chloé is responsible of the Alya's expellment and takes more seriously the bad action the blondie had committed.
After the battle, Ladybug "reconciles" Chloé and Alya. The Ladyblog reporter eventually reintegres Françoise Dupont school.
Alya excludes Chloé of her list of people suspected to be Ladybug, recognizing her error.
At the end, there is a line of Alya to Marinette:
Ladybug is too kind. She could never bully or expell schoolmates like Chloé does it.
That makes Marinette blushing and having fun.
Pixelator:
Same story than the canon.
Jagged Stone comes to the Grand Hôtel with his assistant Penny and his crocodile Fang.
Vincent Aza, a fan, stalks Jagged for selfies. The fan is eventually expelled out of the Hôtel.
In this AU, when Marinette quits the Hotel for going at home to make glasses Jagged recquires, Chloé just says to the bluenette with a sarcastical tone:
Good Luck, Dupain-Cheng ! 😘
Pixelator commits his photo-carnage (he sends his targets/victims in his white boards from his house) at the Grand Hôtel and at the Arc-De-Triomphe (still identical story to the canon).
Ladybug rescues Jagged. She confronts Pixelator. Adrien and Chloé are photo-carnaged and later freed.
With the help of Cat Noir, Jagged (and the unawaited help of Chloé), Ladybug manages to neutralize Pixelator and deakumatize him.
Jagged receives his Eiffel Tower-themed glasses from Marinette. He later invites the entire Miraclass to his concert (Chloé included).
Marinette, Adrien, Alya, Nino, and Chloé (+ Sabrina) come to the Jagged Stone concert as VIPs.
Chloé goes to the concert only because Marinette and Adrien are here (she still prefers XY Roth to Jagged).
Darkblade:
Class representative election happens.
Marinette runs for class representative as candidate.
In this AU, Chloé talks with Marinette and requests to her explanations about her surprising candidacy (it was Chloé who was the class representative of her class in previous grades in every year).
Marinette already knows Chloé is blackmailing her classmates to prevent them to run to the election. But this time, she maintains her candidacy (due to Ladybug's influence(herself lol !) and Tikki's advices).
Chloé eventually sends Sabrina to discover Marinette's "dark" secrets at the Dupain-Cheng bakery. Resigned, Sabrina executes her "bestie"'s order (she is aware she is going to steal her 'formerly' friend).
Chloé organisates a Jagged Stone's autograph seance at thé Mairie of Paris and invites all her classmates for buy their votes.
Sabrina joins Chloé with the secret diary but her hand is consequently trapped in the box. Because of that, she expresses to the blondie she regrets her act.
In this AU, Chloé's blackmailing towards Marinette takes the form of a 'negociation': To improve Marinette's image at the school by letting Chloé win the election in exchange of get the stolen diary back.
The battle against Darkblade/Armand D'Argencourt happens. Ladybug and Cat Noir save the day again.
After the battle, the Chloé's blackmailing attempt is exposed. There is Marinette's speech about voting for better ideas.
Chloé openly retires her candidacy with humility.
Marinette becomes the class president. Alya is her deputy.
Chloé will pretend to people she had let Marinette win for save her own reputation (because she wants to preserve her friendship with Adrien too).
Dark Cupid:
Marinette (helped by Alya) tries to confess her love to Adrien. She finds the Adrien's unfinished love letter (same way as in canon).
Chloé, in her moment, tricks Adrien with a "just cause" thing for make him to sign an autograph on the poster.
So she can laugh at the girls from the Adrien fan-club.
In this AU, Kim tries to confess her admiration toward Chloé (the common point they have is the taste for pranks). That doesn't mean he doesn't try to date her. He is already in couple with Ondine.
Chloé, of course, declines the Kim's "love confession" (even if she does it less cruelly) . That causes the latter's akumatization.
The battle with Dark Cupid is happening (identically to the canon).
The Ladybug-Cat Noir Kiss scene happens too. The Adrien poster vandalism too.
Chloé borrows some money to his dad for donate to charity associations.
His dad is the mayor and at the same time he has a fiscal bank account for his family (he can spoil his wife and his daughter in money and luxurious gifts for satisfy their whims 💰💵💸).
She makes her donations very fast for hide the incident of the vandalized poster (Sabrina causes it under the Dark Cupid influence).
Kim offers his Valentine-themed gift to Ondine.
In parallel, Marinette/Ladybug discretly sends the love letter back to Adrien. The latter recognizes his letter and sees out someone has already answered to his confession. That makes him blush ans he thinks Ladybug could be the answerer.
In parallel again, Chloé think about offer a Valentine-themed gift for Ladybug but nobody knows the latter's real identity.
So the blondie furtively puts her gift in the locker of the first person she thought about: Marinette.
Marinette blushes when she discovers it. Meanwhile, the gift hasn't any name: It's anonymous.
She just guesses Chloé can be the giver. The gift contains a poem with a line: When I see you, I feel utterly ridiculous while you're miraculous. 💗
Horrificator:
Same story than the canon. The Miraclass make a short horror film.
There are minor changes for this AU.
Chloé afraids Mylène (that causing the latter's akumatization into Horrificator).
Chloé answers to everyone it was just a joke: she doesn't realizes the scale of her prank. That angers Ivan. Marinette and Adrien object her. Even Kim feels disappointed about the blondie's joke: Not cool !
When Marinette sends Chloé to search an nursery uniform for the movie, the latter leaves the classroom with Sabrina, Kim and Max.
In this AU, Chloé makes more time to realize Marinette has sent her far from the movie shoot.
Horrificator kidnaps Chloé, Kim and Max. Only Sabrina manages to escape.
The Marinette-Adrien kiss moment is interupted by Sabrina who warns the entire class about Horrificator.
Globally, the battle between Ladybug, Cat Noir, the Miraclass and Horrificator happens in a similar way to the canon. The method used to defeat and deakumatize Horrificator is the same method as in canon: a mini-concert.
After the battle, the movie is presented to the mayor (Chloé's Daddy): of course, it was rejected.
Chloé expresses a bit of apologies to Mylène and Ivan in présence of Marinette ans Adrien. She does it by fearing any possible comeback of Horrificator or Stoneheart.
Evillustrator:
Chloé laughs at Nathaniel about his love crush on Marinette in presence of the entire class. The blondie even briefly plays with his sketchbook.
In this AU, the blondie roasts the artist. Her line to Nathaniel:
You're too ridiculous. Too utterly ridiculous for having Dupain-Cheng as your lover.
Marinette is embarrassed by hearing Chloé speak like that. So the bakery girl feels compassion for Nathaniel.
The latter boy is akumatized into Evillustrator and he seeks revenge against Chloé in reason of the humiliation she has done to him.
Mrs Mendeleiev composes the groups of students of the class.
The known groups of three are: Adrien, Nino and Alya and Marinette, Chloé and Sabrina.
In this AU, Marinette and Chloé are used to be friends (or to be "friends"). So the bakery girl reluctantly accepts to work with the blondie. But she is less impacted than she is in the canon.
Knowing Sabrina, Marinette eventually teams up with her for the physics report. The two schoolmates work together early before Chloé joins them at the library.
Sabrina berates Chloé like she berates her in canon: I'm not your slave, Chloé !
Evillustrator suddenly comes to pertubate their time by summoning a giant hairdryer scarying Chloé.
The events with Evillustrator happen.
Ladybug and Cat Noir ask questions to Chloé about Evillustrator like in canon.
Marinette later sees Evillustrator coming at her home. She recognizes him as Nathaniel. The artist invites her to his private birthday. She accepts his invitation with the request of not harming Chloé.
Sabrina doesn't come to Marinette's home because the two girls were already well advanced in the schoolwork.
In this AU, Sabrina calls her just for express her worries toward her after the Evillustrator assault. So she doesn't berate Marinette (No comparison with Chloé).
The Evillustrator date happens. Cat Noir and Marinette ambush the akumatized supervillain but it fails.
Later, Ladybug and Cat Noir finally manage to defeat/deakumatize him in the Chloé's bedroom.
Aftermath: When Alya interviewes Chloé for the Ladyblog, the latter expresses her thanks to Ladybug for protecting her during the late night (instead of blaming the two heroes of trashing her bedroom as in canon).
Marinette and Adrien discuss together about Cat Noir (in the same way as in canon).
Chloé and Sabrina reconcile each other.
Nathaniel begins to work a comic about Ladybug. He comes to the art room joining his friend Alix.
Rogercop:
Plagg seeks cheese in the Chloé's bag and he accidentally gets his head stuck in the bracelet.
Chloé sees her bracelet has disappeared from her bag.
Adrien sees Plagg with the bracelet rolling to his feet.
In this AU (I repeatly write these words for more tell the divergence), Chloé doesn't accuse Marinette (not directly). Meanwhile, she publicly says there is a thief among them.
Agent Roger (Sabrina's dad) calls Chloé back with his moral quote: Every citizen is innocent until proven guilty.
But the mayor Bourgeois orders to Roger to search all the people from the classroom. Roger objects: The mayor's order breaks the law. Then the mayor fires the policeman.
The next scenes happen: Roger's akumatization into Rogercop, the debate about finding the "thief" in the classroom, Adrien frees Plagg from the bracelet, the battle against the Akuma.
Rogercop uses Chloé as hostage for make André Bourgeois leave his mayor fonctions.
Ladybug and Cat Noir are designated outlaws by Rogercop.
The two heroes defeat and deakumatize the villain.
Cat Noir puts the bracelet back in the Chloé's bag (that makes everyone believe the bracelet was just misplaced).
Mayor rehabilitates Roger in his policeman title (he even promotes him as lieutenant).
In the end from this AU, Chloé could publicly say she is sorry for hastly making accusations at the school (in front of Ladybug).
Timebreaker
Same story than the canon.
Alix receives, for her birthday (15 years old), a special gift from his father: The Bunny Miraculous A watch "from her ancestor".
Kim (on foot) and Alix (on skates) challenge each other in a race at the Trocadéro. The Miraclass comes as spectators.
Difference with the canon: When Chloé holds the Alix's watch, Marinette and Adrien, who hold the banner, say to her to return it. Instead of mocking Alix's watch (as in canon), Chloé would say:
Relax, Dupain-Cheng, Adrikins and losers. I just want to know how much does this watch cost.
Chloé eventually opens the watch and screams about seeing an hologram from the object. She accidentally destroy the watch (same way as in canon).
Alix is akumatized into Timebreaker and the Time massacre begins.
Of course, Timebreaker absorbs Cat Noir's energy causing his erasure. So she travels to the past (with Ladybug who is following her), to the moment from some minutes ago for saving her watch.
Like in canon, The presence of Ladybug and Timebreaker cause the watch's crushing in this new timeline. Alternate Alix is akumatized too.
Ladybug, Cat Noir and the Ladybug from the alternate timeline fight against TWO Timebreakers.
The end of battle is the same: Timebreakers are defeated. The world and its timeline are returned back to normal (Thanks to Lucky CharmS). The Alix's is even fully restored.
Reflekta
It's Photograph Day at the Françoise Dupont school. Juleka has a picture-day "curse" on her.
In this AU, Juleka's akumatization factor will be a bit of different: No one blocks her in the bathroom with a chair. She just laments about her cursed life too long that she misses the photo shoot.
Despite Rose's recomfort, Juleka is eventually akumatized into Reflekta.
While this moment, Marinette goes to delete the school picture in the Damocles' office but Chloé and Sabrina bust her. In this situation, Marinette's office violation can conduct to her expellment.
Sabrina can feel ashamed to see Marinette violating school rules. Meanwhile Chloé gives to the bakery girl a chance of forget the crime: She offers to Dupain-Cheng to give up the idea of delete the picture in exchange .
Because of the fact the three girls hanged out together in the past from this AU, Marinette takes a better idea: To offer to Chloé and Sabrina a deal.
Marinette's deal talks about to take a better school photography than the actual picture.
Convicted, Chloé accepts the deal and orders to Sabrina to keep secret the intrusion. A win-win.
When the three girls (the "trio") leave the office, they confront Reflekta. The akuma had already a lot of students and Cat Noir into Reflektas. So she turns Chloé and Sabrina into Reflektas too (except Marinette who manages to escape).
Ladybug and a Reflekta-ed Cat Noir fight Reflekta together. The battle happens identically to the canon until the Juleka's deakumatization and the aftermath.
After the incident, the Miraclass makes a photo group together at the park.
And Juleka is included. That ends the photo "curse".
Chloé and Sabrina are present in the new picture.
The picture in this AU be like (read my post for see the difference):
Tumblr media
Princess Fragrance
Same story than the canon. Prince Ali comes to Paris.
Chloé finds out a red "plushie": it's Tikki sick. Marinette had accidentally lost her kwami while she was with Adrien.
In this AU, when Rose requests Chloé to send her letter to the Prince Ali, Chloé acts as her own semi-bully.
Her line to Rose:
I have no time with your fish funk, Cinderella ! It's a day between rich people. No peasants allowed.
A disgusted Chloé just passively throws the letter she had comprimed into a ball and throws it like a trash before leaving the place in limousine.
Rose is eventually akumatized into Princess Fragrance.
Marinette retrieves back Tikki. She meets Master Fu a "pet healer" who heals Tikki.
Cat Noir fights Princess Fragrance, evacuates Prince Ali, the latter's chaperone and Chloé.
Meanwhile, Cat Noir is brainwashed/fragranced like the test of the group.
Ladybug eventually saves the day like in canon.
Rose and Prince Ali befriend together (at the surprise of Chloé).
Guitar Villain
Jagged Stone requests Marinette about creating a new album cover.
But Bob Roth, the music producer, "advices" to the girl to design a "modern" version: A pink-themed cover based on XY's albums.
There are more Chloé's appearances in this AU than in canon.
The blondie accompanies Marinette to Jagged permitting to the latter girl to present the cover to the musician. The blondie rich girl will join Adrien later.
The Jagged's akumatization into Guitar Villain happens.
The battle happening is identical to the canon. Meanwhile, Chloé "offers her help" to Ladybug and Cat Noir (It's comical: She just comes to rescue XY Roth).
In aftermath, Marinette manages to design a Rock'n'Roll-themed cover for Jagged (At the objection of Bob).
Jagged's new album becomes N°1 on charts.
Adrien congratulates Marinette for the exploit. Chloé praises her too but with some nuance.
Kung Food
Wang Cheng/Cheng Shifu, Marinette's great-uncle, comes to Paris for participate to the World Greatest Chef contest that organisated at the Grand Hôtel.
Like in the canon, Marinette (under Alya's advice) asks Adrien for help to communicate with her great-uncle.
The story is the same until Chloé's comes to see Dupain-Cheng and Adrikins.
In this AU, Chloé sees them as her lovely "friends". In canon, only Adrikins is her lovely "friend" (as love interest) while she hates Dupain-Cheng.
Chloé says to the Adrienette duet she doesn't like the soup/dish (So. Why are you become a jury member if you don't want to eat/taste foods of candidates ? 🤔😑🥣).
Realizing the fact Cheng Shifu is part of the bakery girl family, the rich brat decides to impress the latter girl by cooking a dish.
For that, she distracts Shifu by telling him "Marinette is waiting him outside of the kitchen".
In the kitchen, she takes a pressure cooker that already contains a soup (unaware it's Shifu's soup) and she "cooks" it with everything she can find at hand. She is furtive. She cooks a soup with her own imagination.
When Chloé finishes it, Shifu comes back ans doesn't remark the Chloé's modification.
As in canon, the jury members are disgusted about tasting Shifu's "Celestial soup" and decline the cooker out of the competition.
Shifu claims someone has sabotaged his soup. Marinette and Adrien have the same thought about the sabotage thing.
Marinette suspects Chloé. The latter innocently whistles and just tells to have cooked her own "ridiculous" soup (advising the others to not taste it).
Cheng Shifu, who finds out the Chloé's presence in kutchen wasn't a coincidence, believes the latter has sabotaged his cooking and he is eventually akumatized into Kung Food.
The akuma incident happens in the same way as in the canon.
Chloé is taken as prisoner by Kung Food's brainwashed slaves. Ladybug and Cat Noir come to save her.
They eventually defeat Kung Food and his slaves (with the unawaited help of Chloé).
After the battle, Chloé expresses her "apologizes" to Cheng Shifu and she confesses to want to impress Marinette.
Shifu is reintegrated to the competition and he wins the title of World's Greatest Chef with the Marinette soup (previously named Celestial soup).
Shifu teaches to both Marinette and Chloé how to cook the concerned soup.
Antibug
Tumblr media
There are major changes for this episode.
The Sabrina's akumatization into Vanisher happens in same way as in canon. Chloé and Sabrina initially played together with Armand Jean-??? the butler. The two girls were disguised as Ladybug and Cat Noir.
Chloé sees Jagged Stone and a reporter team (leaded by Nadja Chamack) talking together. The blondie thinks about a joke. She comes to the journalists by ignoring Sabrina and her butler. The joie: To pretend to be the real Ladybug.
Her joke seems work well until Sabrina "wastes" the plan.
Chloé becomes mad toward Sabrina. The "sidekick" tries to express an apologize but the blondie "fires" her.
The next day, Sabrina attempts to fix her relationship. But Chloé coldly says to her:
I would have preferred you were invisible. To be friends with you was ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous !
The Vanisher's torment against Chloé happens identically to the canon. Ladybug and Cat Noir confront the invisible villainess.
Chloé comes to help the heroes but Ladybug backfires her (she was aware about Chloé's "superhero identity usurpation" attempt).
After deakumatizing Sabrina, Chloé hears the conversation Ladybug and Cat Noir.
In this AU, the conversation happens like that:
Cat Noir: Why didn't you listen to Chloé ? She was only trying to help. Ladybug: First, because Chloé has put us in danger including herself. And about endangering herself, Second, she has been totally irresponsible to claim to be me earlier. Do you forget the Lady Wifi incident ? I was not gonna let her playing hero.
Hearing and misunderstanding her potential love interest's idol's words, Chloé is heartbroken. She falls in tears.
Hawkmoth uses this opportunity to akumatize Chloé into Antibug.
Hawkmoth: Antibug, I am Hawk Moth. Ladybug has broken your heart, I give you the chance for revenge. So, shall we defeat Ladybug together ? Chloé: You can count on me Hawk Moth ! There will only be one heroine in Paris, me ! Antibug !
While Ladybug and Cat Noir finish their talk with journalists, Antibug stands up against them.
Antibug's introduction line to Ladybug:
Hahahaha ! You should have accept my help to defeat Vanisher. You've broken my heart. And now, I'm going to break you !
The battle happens as similar as in canon until the deakumatization scene.
During the battle, Antibug/Chloé confesses to Ladybug to be in love with her.
Ladybug tries to reason with Antibug by explaining about her hero's duties and responsibilities but the contradicted villainess doesn't care.
The Lucky Charm and Anti Charm summonings happen.
About deakumatizing Chloé, Ladybug will say this speech (Shadybug vibes):
You're right, Chloé. Reject your help is an error. You have feelings on me and I respect and tolerate it. Sincerely I never wanted to hurt you. I want to say that: You're an exceptional girl, Chloé Bourgeois. I consider you as a close friend. You aren't ridiculous.
Tumblr media
Touched by Ladybug's words, Antibug is crying. She feels emotional and thanks her heroin. Chloé says to her:
And you aren't utterly ridiculous, Ladybug !
Chloé executes the Miraculous Antibug repairing her own damages.
Afterward, Chloé rejects the akuma (Hawkmoth: NOOOOO !!!) that impresses Ladybug and Cat Noir.
After the battle, Chloé reconciles with Ladybug and accepts to reconcile with Sabrina too.
At the school, Chloé "apologizes" to Sabrina and rehires her befriends with her again.
We can say Ladybug and Chloé are more closer in this AU than in canon.
Volpina
Here comes the launch of the story.
Same story than the canon. Adrien "steals" a grimoire from the Gabriel's safe (with the complicity of Plagg).
A new student girl named Cerise Bianca Lila Rossi comes to Françoise Dupont school and gains sympathy of the schoolmates by lying telling her stories.
In this AU, Marinette, Alya, Chloé and Sabrina (forming a quartet) come to school together.
Marinette is aware about Lila's existence earlier than in the canon (possibly thanks to Sabrina and Chloé).
When Marinette stalks Adrien and Lila at the library, she is accompanied of Chloé.
In this AU, Chloé can temporary disturbs the "couple". Lila, unimpressed, passive-aggressively backfires/roasts the blondie girl who is angered. Chloé leaves the library while Marinette stays hidden for watching the scene.
Tikki recognizes the Grimoire/Spellbook when Adrien removes it from his schoolbag. But Lila steals the book (unknown to Adrien).
Marinette and Tikki eventually follow Lila until the park (the bakery girl remembers too the new student lied about being friends with Ladybug).
The "date" happens in the same way as in canon. Lila pretends to be a superheroin ("better" than Ladybug) to Adrien. Marinette, who has taken back the grimoire from the trashcan, becomes Ladybug and confronts the superliar exposing her on front of Adrien.
Humiliated, Lila is akumatized into Volpina. And the battle happens like in canon.
After the battle, Lila glares to Ladybug with the line: We'll never be friends.
Adrien finds out the Grimoire has disappeared. Gabriel will be aware about the book's disappearance
Marinette, under the guidance of Tikki, meets the guardian of the Miraculous: Master Fu. She comes to present the Grimoire to him.
End of Season 1. To be continued in Season 2.
You must see there are missing episodes: The Mime, Stormy Weather, The Paraoh, The Puppeteer, Copycat, The Gamer, Animan and Simon Says.
No need to adding these episodes because Chloé doesn't appear in theses and/or hasn't any interference in theses for the progress of the story.
It took me more one week for redact this rewrite.

It’s the end of the year which means it’s finally time for the ML Big Bang’s yearly fic rec lists! We’re really excited to bring you our contributors’ favourite fics started this year to supply you with plenty of reading material while you’re waiting for the Big Bang fics’ publication in January.
drowning (in plain sight) by @buggachat
Everybody had expected Monarch's defeat to be a moment of triumph. Nobody had expected Gabriel Agreste, unmasked and mind frayed from continual abuse of the miraculous, crying out to all who would listen and making Paris certain of one thing: His son, Adrien Agreste, is one of his sentimonsters. And now he's missing. Nobody can find him— not even the superheroes, and not even his closest friends. But Marinette, Nino, and Alya aren't ones to give up so easily. They'll find him, no matter what it takes. (But, geez, would it kill Chat Noir to lend a hand?)
I think most of the fandom already read this fic, but if you haven't, you should give it a try! The angst is balanced by how deeply Adrien's friends (including Plagg and Felix) care for him, and the reunion at the end is so touching.
all of your flaws and all of my flaws (are laid out one by one) by @coffeebanana
Ladybug and Marinette have both been acting strangely since Monarch's defeat, and Chat Noir would give anything to know why—to be able to help them. He just…didn't expect his answers to come when Ladybug drags him to his father's statue in the middle of the night along with a bag full of spray paint.
An incredibly cathartic scene set after the Season 5 finale that is a perfect mix of angst and hurt and comfort! All the emotions are so raw.
Dreaming Wide Awake by @uptoolateart
Gabriel died a hero. He sacrificed himself in the final battle against Monarch. Or so Adrien's been told. At least he has his mother there to help him through the grief. So what is this niggling feeling that this isn't how the story was meant to go? And why does he keep having flashes of another world that lies just beneath their own?
A fantastic follow-up to the Season 5 finale in which Adrien is dealing with the loss of his father, and his relationship with Marinette, in a reality that's not quite right. Incredibly emotional and moving.
All That Glitters by @trishacollins
After - After the dust settles, and things feel a little bit more...permanent. Nathalie thinks back on her mistakes. With Felix as close at hand as he is, she thinks one of them might be fixable.
Every fic should be a Sentibug fic, and that's why I rec this. I love that it runs with the finale of S5 and addresses various characters' feelings about senti stuff, which is the real big question hanging over the end of the season. Well, one of them :)
The moment I knew (I’d no choice but to love you) by @bbutterflies
“He’s dating me,” Nino said, taking Adrien’s hand in his own. Adrien could only stare back at him in shock. “How dare you all force him to come out?” Nino continued, glaring at the reporters. “That was disgusting.” He pulled Adrien over to the car, guided him in, and shut the door behind them. In the relative quiet and privacy of the backseat, Adrien finally processed what had just happened. “So… when were you going to tell me we were dating?”
It's fake dating, but with Adrino!! What's not to like?
The Parable of the Caller by nemali
A week after Hawk Moth’s identity has been revealed, Adrien finds himself with nowhere to go, nothing he can do, and worst of all, strange gaps in his memory he can’t explain. In a stroke of luck, he stumbles upon a burner phone filled with voicemails from one of the Saviors of Paris: Chat Noir himself, who disappeared following Hawk Moth’s arrest. But with each new voicemail Adrien listens to, he’s forced to confront the fact that there might be some kind of connection between himself and Chat Noir — and discovering it might leave him more broken than before.
It's subversion of so much. Adrien is the ex-Guardian. Adrien has lost his memories. There's been no reveal. He has no idea what this mysterious series of voicemails from Chat Noir means. A+++ read.
A Masked Game by @mysticraven20
For almost ten years Paris has been peaceful. No villains. No heroes. No hate. But, as always, peace never lasts forever and as a new threat takes over the city of love, there’s a change in the game where this time death is permanent. Adrien has been living full of hope after the worst years of his life. He’s free. He’s settled. But most importantly, he’s in love. After years of trying to find his calling everything came together the day he married his wife, or so he thought. Marinette still craved the companionship of her partner. It had been a decade since she’d seen him; the dull ache in her heart constantly asking what had happened to him. If only she had the opportunity to speak to him one more time. The chance for a reconnection appears when Paris’ heroes are needed again and as feelings begin to resurface so does the hate, love and lies. Ladybug and Chat Noir will need to find a new dynamic to make this work, saving not only their friends but also themselves, leaving Adrien and Marinette to risk everything in a need to survive.
Whodunit, murder mystery MLB fic from a great author exploring a new genre/style. Not just exploring, succeeding. Acing it. Wonderful story. As each chapter dropped, it really felt like the entire fandom was racing to read it first. Everyone was hooked. You should get hooked, too!

The Pigeon Feather Thing
Every time I see someone mention Adrien's allergy and call it a brilliant bit of foreshadowing for the senti twist I have to physically restrain myself from going into a lecture on how good foreshadowing works because I don't think the feather thing was foreshadowing at all. If it was, then it's terribly done and the writers need to relearn the basics of story telling. But I don't think that's the case. They used foreshadowing perfectly fine with the wedding rings once they either committed to or came up with the senti plot at the end of season four. When we consider that vs the feather thing, it becomes obvious that the feather thing was never meant to be anything more than a joke.
For starters, an allergy to pigeons is not good foreshadowing of association with a peacock!
Yes, as best I can tell, it's specifically a pigeon allergy. It wasn't initially called that, but it IS mentioned multiple times in Mr. Pigeon 72 where Adrien was fine with filming around birds until the species was mentioned:
Mr. Ramier: You can count on Edgar! No animal's more obedient than this sweet little pigeon. Bob Roth: Dove! They're doves! Adrien: Hang on, I'm allergic to pigeons. If they get too close- Bob Roth: Nothing is gonna happen because they're doves! Bob Roth: Your pigeon isn't up for the job! He's not supposed to come back with the rose! Mr. Ramier: The sneeze frightened him. Adrien: I told you, I'm allergic to pigeons! Plagg: Happy to see you again, Adrien. So still allergic to pigeons?
If anything, this reads like them hammering home that this isn't a general feather allergy when it previously might have been. Almost as if they were telling sentitruthers "hey, pigeons, not peacocks, let the theory go!"
I don't think that was the goal here, btw, it's just interesting that this episode is right at the start of season four and does everything that it can to separate the allergy from the senti stuff instead of leaning into it to better setup the reveal later in the season. That's normally how this type of foreshadowing works! You have the initial hint (Mr. Pigeon), the reminder (Mr. Pigeon 72), and the payoff (the reveal). But the allergy plays no part in the reveal and Mr. Pigeon 72 separated the allergy from peacocks, so in what way is it actually foreshadowing?
This is extra true because other sentimonsters were never shown to have the same allergy and good foreshadowing would have absolutely done that! Mr. Pigeon should have had a sentimonster who couldn't go near his pigeons or Sentibug should have sneezed around them or Kagami and Felix could have mentioned having the same allergies. Anything to imply that it was a standard issue for sentimonsters! They had four seasons (and most of season five) to give us those moments and they never did.
As-is, the feather thing is more of a point against the sentiplot being planned because why would anyone make their designer child allergic to pigeons? Sentikids are supposed to be "perfect" after all and we've been given nothing to indicate that the one exception to this rule is a pigeon feather allergy. Did Gabe and Emilie just have a really messed up sense of humor or a weird desire to make sure that Adrien stayed away from pigeons? What's the logic here?
Imo, the feather thing is what I like to call "forced foreshadowing." It's when the audience is so desperate to justify bad writing that they try to force connections that aren't actually there instead of accepting that the thing was a retcon or just poorly set up. At first glance, the feather thing sounds like a really cool way to foreshadow the twist and - to be fair - it would have been if it did. But since there's nothing in the text that actually treats it as foreshadowing it's stupid to call it that. The fact that it associates Adrien with a bird means nothing unless you think that Marinette's constant association with flowers would justify a twist that she's secretly a tree.

What a finale... I want to talk about it.
But before I start, I'd like to say one thing, I've known about the season 5 finale for months, so I knew what to expect. (Yes, I was spoiled about the finale...)
One thing's for sure, the finale was much more epic once I saw the final result. I was very nervous from what I'd heard and after seeing/reading a few pages of scripts but in the end I thought the finale had good action scenes, good dialogue, emotion and it was nice to see the characters from the special episodes (they didn't take up too much screen time so that's okay).
Honestly, I wouldn't have liked this ending if it were to be the end of the series, it's not satisfying at all, and even everything is too perfect to be true, and I think that's intentional. I understand why Chat noir isn't present, but I wouldn't have liked a series ending without a finale with Ladybug and Chat noir fighting together.
I suppose many people will be disappointed by this ending if they were expecting a real conclusion.
However, I'm still confused, especially about Gabriel's fate. Did he resurrect Emilie? Thomas doesn't want to answer that question on twitter, surely we'll see in season 6. (I just went back on twitter and Thomas says that with the message they've been trying to get across for 5 seasons, we should be able to guess, so I guess it's Amélie and not Emilie. If anyone says to me "but in the script it says that..." The script isn't supposed to be publicly available, so no matter what it says, I'll take what we're shown in the end result).
For me, this final scene rings false, in the sense that there is so much left unsaid. Gabriel pretends to be the hero of the story? Ladybug, Nathalie, Félix, Kagami and Plagg say nothing to Chat Noir and/or Adrien about Gabriel? it's bound to have repercussions later on. Tomoe gets away with being as cruel as Gabriel? What's her deal with Gabriel? What about Lila in the end? Does she now know Ladybug's secret identity? What was that light she saw? I like to think it has something to do with Gabriel. Could it be one of the consequences of Gabriel's wish? A new threat?
And Adrien says he doesn't know if one day he'll be able to be like his father (talking about his sacrifice). He probably feels guilty for not having had the "courage" to go and fight Monarch with Ladybug, maybe he blames himself that his father died because of him? I wonder if we'll get a reverse of season 4, with Chat noir distancing himself from Ladybug because he's afraid of being akumatized, and blaming himself for his father's death.
(But don't worry Adrien, thanks to you we were able to get Bugnoire).
And Marinette, who must be terrified of telling Adrien the truth, especially after the nightmare she's had.
I can't get excited for the characters during the last few minutes of the episode, everything seems wrong, like the calm before the storm. And if this is it, I can't wait to see what happens next.
Overall, I enjoyed the finale, but I'm also very confused by the end of the episode. Again, I think that's the intended effect. I can't wait to see what the writers have planned next!

Fanfiction Prompt
Kuro Neko au where, when trying to trick Marinette into letting him take the ring back to Adrien under a new guise, Plagg accidentally lets slip some of how his holder is actually feeling. Marinette bribes the real story out of the kwami and is horrified by her partner's self-worth issues, so she decides on a better plan: they'll become Lady Noir and Mister Bug again for a while. Hopefully intrusive thoughts about not being needed will be easier to counter when the Ladybug is absolutely pivotal to every battle, and Tikki's more supportive style might be good for him to get a taste of until the kids can repair their partnership. But. Tikki: If you ever even think of leaving my Miraculous on a random rooftop instead of just telling your partner how you feel, you will find out why Plagg is afraid of me and not the other way around. (Plagg has mixed feelings about how things turned out. On the one hand Marinette spoils him with love, attention, and cheesy pastries, she's a lot more chaotic than Adrien, and she's fun to tease. He also still gets to spy on his kid at school, and he can see the progress Adrien is making. On the other hand Marinette has much higher expectations for him than Adrien did... and all the other kwamis clamoring around is both a blessing and a curse.)

In a way I feel like if Marinette had the miraculous of destruction, it could have been such a valuable learning curve/lesson? Because what if Plagg saw her tripping over nothing and stumbling and dropping things, and then her apologizing and feeling bad about it and just being like... "No???"
Like imagine if he taught her that the confidence he has, isn't because he's not clumsy or awkward, but because he IS??? He's the kwami of destruction, how could he not have accidentally caused problems in the past?
He tells her about the dinosaurs and the leaning tower of Pisa, and how he caused the destruction of so many important monuments, on accident.
He tells her the confidence is because he knows it could happen anyways, and there's a good chance it will, so why spend all your time stressing about it?
The confidence only grows when it sticks through all the fumbles.
Think about it, the more you make mistakes, the more you know that no matter what happens, you can still be confident.
You don't need to be more careful or make extra plans. You can't control the world around you, or the circumstances, no matter how you try. Like
Everyone makes mistakes and all that yeah, but the level of bonding over learning to be comfortable with your own destruction??? The mistakes you make only add to the solidity of your own confidence??? It's completely okay to mess up, and if that causes a huge mess, then so be it??? It doesn't make you a lesser person, or a mistake????
And over time, Marinette gets more confident. No matter how she trips or falls, musses her words, she knows her mistakes don't make her, that that without them she would never learn and grow. Her clumsiness is still there, but the embarrassment isn't.
And that's freeing in a way she's never felt???
Not afraid of mistakes anymore, she lets out her creative side in a way like she's never done before. Patterns, scribbles, and colors that she would never have put together before! Her fashion becoming a true expression of her boldness.
She's joining art club, and speaking up, not afraid of making a mistake or who sees it.
Comfort in her own skin, brings comfort to her life, and suddenly she's speaking with her seat mate easily???
Not necessarily speaking up to Chloe, but simply not being bothered?? There's gum on my chair, so what, I'll just move over.
She's taking Adrien's umbrella with ease, and returning it to him with a SIGNED note and macarons???
Sure, she still feels all warm and melty with him, but she's not nervous.
She leaves him homemade gifts when she feels like it, instead of plotting for his next seventy birthdays. She compliments his kindness and bravery. Encourages him, and supports him unabashedly.
She tells off Gabriel in season 1, and gives Adrien advice. About how he deserves better, because SHE KNOWS she deserves good things, so why shouldn't he deserve them too???
Adrien starts seeing her as an idol, much like he originally does with ladybug, and like the later seasons.
We get the same (or better) effect, and that just tickles me.
Because there's nothing to be embarrassed about.
You're safe in your own mistakes.
I could go into Adrien/Misterbug too
