ᴘᴀɪʀɪɴɢs - Felinette, Chlogami sᴀʟᴛs - Lila Salt, Adrien Salt, Alya salt ʀᴇᴅᴇᴍᴘᴛɪᴏɴs - Chloe Redemption ᴏᴛʜᴇʀs - Marinette Protection Squad, Principal Damocles Bashing, Caline Bustier Bashing I just recently started to re-watching some gacha tubers videos. One of my favorited gacha tubers was 707 and Kawaii Ichigo-chan.

The protection squad for Marinette they are Felix Fathom, Kagami Tsurugi, Chloe Bourgeois, Alix Kubdel, Nino Lahiffe, Zoe Lee, Rose Lavillant, Juleka Couffaine, Aurore Beaureal, Mirelle Caquet, Marc Anciel, Nathaniel Kurtzberg, Claude Bellamy, Allegra Blanchet, and Allan Dubois.

Let's say Marinette is a huge fan of 707 & Kawaii Ichigo-chan gacha tubers. But what people doesn't know is that she writes the names of the people who hates the most to get killed by an evil spirit. She is more interested about 'Red Ink Curse' she has read this somewhere in the school library.

-- Her first target was Alya Cesaire since she never show proof which annoyed her.

-- Her second target was Adrien Agreste the one that showed her the true colors of Adrien being a bystander & enabler for bullies and not helping her at all. As she went as Ladybug to retrieve the Black Cat Miraculous from him he wasn't the true holder of Plagg it was actually his cousin Felix.

-- Her third target was Lila Rossi the girl who ruined her reputation and her life.

But she decided to give Gabriel a second chance by fixing the peacock miraculous and bringing back his wife back after the disappointment he got from Marinette's parents about Adrien's action towards her.

While Tikki made a reason with the spirit who had killed her targets. But made a promise not to go near her friends or family unless her miraculous holder had someone who wanted to cause her holder to be akumatized.

As soon as her targets were gone she is no more feels stress from them ever again. While Ms. Bustier and Damocles well they got fired from their job when Chloe send a report to the School Board about them.

10 years later

‘How are you?’ Gabriel’s voice was low and soft, and reverberated through Emilie’s heart.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. The scent of bleach and sanitiser penetrated her senses and the conditioned air dried her throat, blonde wisps of hair fluttering against her neck. 

She slowly exhaled and met the gaze of her husband sat on the other side of the table. Each time she came here he looked older but no less refined. He wore his elegance like a shield – like a mask – a form of protection behind of which existed an exhausted, worn-down man.

‘I’m well,’ she said quietly.

Gabriel’s expression softened into the barest of smiles. 

‘And Adrien?’ he asked. ‘How is he?’

Emilie didn’t reply; she let his question hang in the room as she thought back to a few days ago when she’d last seen their son. Adrien had been laughing and smiling, and oh, he was the most beautiful thing in the world; he’d been gorgeous as a child and only blossomed further as he’d grown – something she didn’t quite know how to forgive Gabriel for missing out on.

‘Do you regret it?’ The words slipped from her tongue before she could stop them, words she’d wanted to voice for years but never dared to.

Gabriel’s smile fell away. What little warmth was in the room vanished.

‘No,’ he said, in a voice so deadly gentle it sent shivers down her spine.

Emilie cast her eyes down. She ran her fingers across the metal surface of the table, catching her nails on the grooves made from years of wear and tear.

‘You know you didn’t just lose Nathalie that night…’ she said soft and quiet. ‘You lost Adrien too.’ 

Gabriel swallowed. ‘I know.’

‘And yet, you say you regret nothing.’

‘Everything I did, I did for you.’ 

He took her hand and she slowly raised her gaze to meet his. His grey eyes pierced her heart and warmth rose within her at the love and devotion he clearly held for her. 

‘I know,’ she whispered. Her heart clenched in her chest. She twisted her hand and gripped him back just as tight, gazing at him with conflicted affection, love flowing for him despite her better judgement. ‘I know.’

Emilie breathed in the sunshine as she strolled along the river, savouring every moment that her second life gave her. Grateful to be out of that prison and amongst life.

She paused at a billboard showcasing the latest Emilie collection. With his side-swept blond hair and smile that lit up the skyline, the model was the perfect Emilie ambassador. Yet he was nothing compared to her Adrien.

After Gabriel’s imprisonment she’d taken over the company and rebranded it. Though she hadn’t expected Adrien to disagree with her about it.

‘You’re continuing the business?’ Adrien had asked her after he’d found out. ‘You’re not selling it?’

‘Of course not,’ she replied. ‘It’s your father’s legacy. And it would be wonderful if you would continue being the face of the brand.’

Adrien had stared at her, offended and wounded, before turning his back on her and walking from the room.

Emilie exhaled and tore her gaze from the billboard. Despite the years that had passed, that rejection still hurt and confused her. But after her conversation with Gabriel this morning maybe, just maybe, she could start to understand. 

She turned away from the river and crossed the road to meander down the backstreets and alleyways of Paris, determined to get lost; to explore and discover, whether it be stumbling upon a fresh set of blooming flowers or a new cafe that had opened. Overcome with the overwhelming desire to not waste her life.

Eventually though, she found herself gazing up at the familiar building where her son lived – a humble little flat he shared with the Dupain-Cheng girl. Not for the first time she wondered why they didn’t move somewhere more suitable for his station, it’s not as if they didn’t have the money.

After a moment’s hesitation, she strode up the steps to their flat and paused outside the door, fist poised to knock. She probably shouldn’t show up unannounced.

Especially just after visiting Gabriel…

But she dismissed her concerns with a shake of her head, and rapped her knuckles on the wood.

‘Mum!’ Adrien opened the door with a wide smile on his face. And tension leaked from Emilie’s shoulders as he wrapped her in his embrace. ‘I wasn’t expecting you, come in, come in!’ 

Plagg popped out Adrien’s mop of blond hair as she followed him into their little sitting room, he stared at her with his unreadable green eyes. She smiled at the Kwami.

He narrowed his eyes in response. 

‘Can I get you something to drink?’ Adrien asked, turning and forcing her to break eye contact with Plagg. ‘Tea? Coffee…?’

‘Tea would be nice.’ She placed her bag on the couch and sat down, looking around, ignoring Plagg’s eyes on her as Adrien headed into the kitchen. This living room was so small it barely held the television and sofa. 

As Adrien made their drinks she leafed through the exam papers scattered over the coffee table that he’d been in the middle of grading. She sighed. Being a teacher was such a waste of his potential.

‘I saw the Gorilla the other day,’ Adrien spoke loudly from the kitchen as the noise of the kettle boiling died down.

‘Oh?’ Emilie put the papers back. ‘How is he?’ 

‘He’s doing well! He’s got a gig driving around some high-flying lawyers, so he treated Marinette and I for dinner last week. We had a really nice time.’

‘How lovely.’

He appeared with two steaming mugs. ‘Have you been up to anything?’

‘Oh a bit of this, a bit of that. Nothing out of the ordinary.’

Adrien handed her a mug, smiling, and Emilie’s heart swelled. She loved that smile, it never failed to warm her heart. What she didn’t like however, was the unnatural paleness of his skin and the deep shadows under his eyes. 

‘How are you sleeping?’ she asked, wrapping her hands around her mug. 

Adrien shrugged. ‘I tried coming off my medication, but they put me back on it. But it’s always hard this time of year, regardless.’

‘Well, I’m glad the medication helps, even if it’s just a bit.’ She brought her mug close to her chest and cradled it in her hands, grateful for the warmth seeping into her skin.

Adrien hummed an agreement and perched on the arm of the sofa. ‘It does help,’ he said. Comfortable silence wrapped around them and Emilie blew gently on her tea.

‘You seeing him doesn’t.’

Emilie tensed. She met Adrien’s gaze, which had lost its former brightness and grown an icy edge.

‘You don’t deny it then,’ he said at her silence.

Emilie squeezed her mug so hard it burned her hands. ‘He’s my husband,’ she said quietly.

Adrien’s expression grew unreadable. ‘He’s my father,’ he said, devoid of emotion. ‘Yet I’ve never had the urge to visit him.’ He raised his mug to his lips. ‘Then again, I didn’t choose to be related to him.’

‘He’s still a good man, believe it or not—’

‘I don’t.’

She closed her mouth at the hardness in his eyes. Eyes which had long lost their childhood innocence. She glanced over his defined jawline, clenched fair too tight, with its ever so faint shadow of stubble, the ever so faint creases at the corners of his eyes, and his long locks of blond hair so haphazardly styled. 

She’d never admit it, but she often missed the child he used to be. The one who never defied her – who said, ‘Yes, Mummy!’ to everything she said and listened to her like she was queen of the world. 

She went to gently brush his fringe to the side but he pulled back.

‘You remember it, don’t you?’ she began softly, lowering her hand. ‘The way he would smile and play with you when you were little?’

Adrien looked away. ‘That was a long time ago.’

‘He can be like that still,’ she urged, ‘if you just—’

‘Drop it, Mum,’ he said, his voice quiet but sharp. ‘There’s no coming back from what he did.’

Emilie lowered her gaze. ‘He saved my life.’

Adrien glanced at her, more tired than ever. 

‘I know.’

All the other acts Gabriel had done filled the room with their silence, swirling around and around like the tea in Emilie’s mug as her hands clenched tighter and tighter. He wanted us to be a family again, she wanted to scream but she bit her tongue. She knew too well where that sentence led.

She took a deep breath and sipped her tea, the lemon bitter on her tongue. Her eyes drifted around the room and landed on the mantelpiece, specifically on the framed picture of Adrien looking gorgeous all dressed smartly in black, with the Dupain-Cheng girl dressed in white next to him.

‘How’s Marinette?’ she asked, breaking the silence.

‘She’s well,’ he replied, sipping his tea, not looking at her. ‘Not that you care.’

That stung her. ‘I care—’

BANG.

They both jumped as the door slammed open. 

‘Adrien, I’m home! And I’ve got everything for dinner! Also Alya just messaged saying her and Nino will be over at seven — Oh!’ Marinette froze as she stepped into the living room and laid eyes on Emilie. ‘Madame Agreste,’ she acknowledged, her demeanour suddenly changing. Without taking her eyes off Emilie, she placed her bags down and walked over to Adrien, placing her hand on his shoulder. The gold band on her ring finger glittered dangerously. ‘It’s nice to see you.’

Emilie pursed her lips and, like she did every time, scanned Marinette for any sign of hidden jewellery. She never had figured out what the girl had done with her peacock miraculous, though that wasn’t for lack of trying.

‘You’re not overworking yourself, I hope?’ she put on a smile.

Marinette placed her hand protectively over her stomach. ‘Luckily I’m sat at a desk drawing all day, it’s not demanding work, but I thank you for your concern.’

Emilie nodded. Of course she cared about Marinette; if the girl wasn’t careful or healthy the effects could be disastrous.

‘I’m sorry, did I miss a memo?’ Marinette asked. ‘I wasn’t aware you were coming over today.’ The air of nonchalance in her voice hid the ice underneath.

Adrien slowly shook his head. He placed his mug on the coffee table.

‘Can’t I visit my son?’ Emilie asked.

Adrien’s eyes grew cold. ‘Not when your trying to convince me to forgive him.’

‘I’m not trying to convince you to forgive him,’ she said. Adrien raised an eyebrow. She deflated a little, glancing away and rubbing her arm. ‘Just to visit him,’ she admitted.

Adrien rubbed his face. ‘I’m not having this conversation, not again.’

‘He’s your father!’ Emilie said.

‘He’s a terrorist.’

‘He loves you!’

‘No. NO! I’m not doing this, Mum!’ He jumped to his feet and found Marinette’s hand and gripped it tight. 

‘You’re married with a baby on the way!’ Emilie cried. ‘He deserves to know and you should be the one to tell him!’

‘He deserves nothing,’ Marinette hissed as Adrien ran his hands through his hair in distress.

‘I don’t want anything to do with him!’ Adrien cried, ‘Why don’t you understand that?’ Tears rose in his eyes. ‘I can’t do this, not again, Mum. Please,’ he begged.

Emilie stepped back, a stab of guilt flashed through her.

‘I just want what’s best for you,’ she whispered, truthfully

Adrien swallowed. ‘I know,’ he said. He sounded so tired. ‘But this isn’t the way to do it.’

Emilie looked away, not knowing what to feel.

‘I think you should go,’ Marinette said quietly.

Emilie looked sharply at Adrien, and her heart sank as he glanced at her and nodded.

She swallowed, picked up her bag, and followed Marinette to the front door.

She turned back, holding her son’s beautiful green gaze.

‘I love you,’ she told him, filling her words with truth and sincerity, brimming with emotion.

Adrien sighed. ‘I love you too, Mum. I’ve never denied that.’ The barest of smiles rose on Emilie’s face. ‘But I loved Dad too.’

His words curled in her stomach, goosebumps ran up her arm.

‘Adrien—’ she began, desperate. Adrien turned away. Marinette grabbed her arm and pushed her out the door

And Emilie was left standing in the hallway, trying not to cry, with the sound of the slamming door in her ears, and her son’s broken eyes in her mind.

~~~

Marinette leant back on the door, fringe hanging in her eyes, and exhaled. Nothing was easy with Emilie. 

She brushed her loose hair behind her ears and turned her gaze to Adrien; he stood silent, jaw tense, hands clenched, with a crease in his brow, gazing unseeing to the side. After a moment he bit his lip before grabbing the mugs from the coffee table and headed into the kitchen. 

Marinette followed him.

She watched him as he placed the mugs in the sink and turned the tap on to get the hot water running. His hair shrouded his face as he washed the mugs, and when he turned the tap off, they were both met with sudden silence, broken only by the gentle dripping of water echoing in the drainpipe.

‘After all these years,’ he began softly, ‘all these years and she still doesn’t understand that he never loved me like he loved her. He never will.’

Marinette walked over to him, her soft footsteps loud in the silence, and placed her hand on his shoulder. He yielded to her touch, turning into her, burying his head into her neck, wrapping his arms around her. And she held him back, one hand clenching the back of his shirt, the other tangled in his hair, and she held him.

Tikki, Plagg, Nooroo and Duusu crawled out of their hiding spots and pressed themselves into the spaces between her and Adrien. 

‘You did good, kid,’ Plagg whispered as he curled up against Adrien’s neck,

And the six of them stayed like that for a while in the broken yet warm silence, protecting each other just like they’ve always done.

Eventually Adrien pulled back. Marinette held his cheeks and gazed into his eyes. She planted a gentle kiss on his forehead, nose, and then on his lips. Adrien chuckled and warmth lit within her.

A sly look appeared in his eye.

Marinette yelped as Adrien spun her and dipped her, scattering the Kwamis and making heat rush to her cheeks as he winked and kissed her. Even after all these years he still made her blush so easily. One of the Kwamis found the speaker and Adrien threw her back to her feet in time with the music, before grabbing her hand and making her spin back into him. She grabbed his hand in return and spun him and spun him — Dusuu swooping and yelping, Tikki giggling, Plagg egging them on, and

Nooroo begging them to be careful but with a smile on his face — until Adrien was crying with laughter and begged her to stop. She pulled him close.

And they danced in the sunlight falling dappled through the window, dust motes swirling around them, hearts fast, breaths quick, life thrumming between them.

They ended up arms wrapped around each other rocking gently in the middle of the room.

She went to brush his hair back and he leant into her hand before taking it and kissing her fingers in quick succession – one two three four five.

She rested her head against his shoulder, but after a moment he tilted her chin back up to face him and forced her to gaze into his eyes, so soft and gentle, skin flushed pink.

‘I love you,’ he whispered.

She raised to her tip toes and kissed him on the lips, holding the moment between them.

‘I love you too,’ she murmured in his ear. ‘Now go get the shopping, let’s get this feast going!’

‘Anything for you, milady,’ Adrien smiled and kissed her on the nose.

They spent the rest of the afternoon cooking, intermittent with dancing and laughing, the latter of which only increased as Alya, Nino, and Chloe walked through the door, each bearing delicious gifts of their own.

They had a wonderful dinner, the five of them, like they did every year. Filled with memories and stories and laughter and fun. All cheering as Marinette brought out another bottle of wine along with a fantastic dessert.

Before long, plates were empty, everyone was sat back, glasses were topped up for the umpteenth time. The Kwamis were curled up on the sofa, sleeping together as the clock ticked past midnight. Soft music in the background, everyone smiling as they listened to the story Nino was telling… 

‘—so she walks onto the set wrapped in this golden shawl,’ Nino said, ‘with these heels which must have been like ten inches high, and this MASSIVE headdress thats all spiked and celestial looking, and this gold paint on her cheekbones—’

‘She looked like a goddess,’ Alya chimed in.

‘She looked. Like. A. GODDESS,’ Nino agreed, slamming the table, ‘but with a Kazoo in her mouth. Like what? I know! Ruined her image. But then Kyle, the lighting guy, walks up to her and, well he— 

Marinette snuck her hand towards Adrien as she listened to Nino. She found his fingers and weaved their hands together. He instantly gripped her. She smiled. ‘—And then she says, she says’—Nino struggled to hold back his giggles,—‘“Well I would, but it’s impossible with you standing there!”’ They all burst into laughter.

‘Well he was being an idiot!’ Chloe said shrilly, with a smile on her face.

‘Of course you’d think that, Chloe,’ Alya said, sticking her tongue.

‘Hey! I won’t stand for this slander!’ she scoffed in mock offence. ‘That’s ridiculous! Utterly, ridiculous!’

They all dissolved into laughter once more, Nino swung back in his chair dangerously.

Marinette shared a grinning glance with Adrien and he squeezed her hand under the table.

Despite the warmth in the room, it couldn’t help but bring memories of the five of them sitting around that coffee table all those years ago. 

And Marinette watched them. She eyed her friends. She could see it in all of them. The hurt from all those years ago and their concern for Adrien.

It was in the way Alya swirled the wine in her glass but never quite managed to drink it. The way Nino would speak just a little too loud and tell just one too many jokes. The way Chloe would fuss over Adrien’s appearance and mutter about how he needed a hair cut.

She ran her thumb over the back of Adrien’s hand. All of their wounds, despite leaving scars, had managed to heal over. Except for Adrien’s. His wounds were constantly being ripped open, again and again. By his mother, his father, by Parisian celebrations.

Marinette closed her eyes. If she listened hard enough she could just make out – behind the jokes and the laughter and the music desperately trying to drain it all out – the noise on the streets from those celebrating Hawkmoth’s downfall.

Adrien was still smiling after everyone had left but Marinette eyed him worriedly. He danced as they cleaned and hummed while brushing his teeth but when they collapsed into bed, he lay on his back with his eyes wide open.

Marinette curled into him. ‘Talk to me,’ she whispered, bringing his forehead to hers. They both stayed there a minute, breathing in each other in silence.

‘Even now…’ he swallowed, ‘I still hold hope he might become a good father.’

A lump rose in her throat. ‘I know,’ she said.

The gentle sound of their breathing was the only sound for a moment.

‘I think I need to see him.’

Her breath caught. She pulled back and looked him deep in his eyes. ‘Not if you don’t want to, you don’t have to.’

He closed his eyes in a faint grimace, holding back his emotion. ‘I know. But I think I want to,’ he whispered.

‘Then I’m here to support you.’ And her heart broke for Adrien who would once again have his wounds ripped open.

~~~

‘What changed your mind?’

Adrien cast his eyes down and let the question roll around the room.

‘Why did you decide to see me after all these years?’ 

He let the silence swell.

‘I’m glad to see you. How has life been with your mother?

Adrien raised his eyes to meet those of the man who sat opposite. He looked tired and  old. He had lost all of his former elegance and yet the look in his eyes held the same coldness that had haunted Adrien’s waking life all those years ago. Only at the mention of Adrien’s mother did warmth flash through them.

‘Do you understand me now? Are you finally here to forgive me?’

Adrien let the questions sink in.

‘Ten years ago I exchanged one parent for the other.’ He began quietly. ‘Over the years that followed I learnt why it was that you two were both so well suited.’ He ran his fingers over the grooves in the table. ‘You both knew how to tie your hooks into me so well, pulling and pushing and making me do what you wanted me to. Mother has learned to back off. It’s either that or she loses me, and she fears losing me more than she fears losing control of me. But I don’t know if that applies to you.’

Gabriel held Adrien’s gaze.

‘I don’t understand you,’ Adrien whispered. ‘I’m not here to forgive you. I will never forgive you.’ And his heart broke inside because this man, despite everything, used to be his father.

‘Why are you here?’ Gabriel asked.

Adrien twisted the ring on his finger. 

‘Was it worth it?’ he asked, ‘The price you paid to…’ he trailed off.

‘Out of everything I did,’ Gabriel began slowly, ‘bringing your mother back is the one thing I do not regret.’

‘But what about Nathalie? What about Marinette? What about—?’ He cut himself off, biting down on his tongue, fighting the burning in his throat.

Gabriel sighed. ‘What happened to Nathalie was unfortunate, but she knew the risks. As for Marinette, she was a talented girl — still is from what your mother tells me. I would not have wished it to be her that got caught up in what happened, but I was not the one who selected her as wielder of the Ladybug Miraculous, it was not my fault it was her that got caught up in that fight.’

Adrien gazed in pain at his father. Waiting for an apology. Waiting for any form of repentance. Waiting for him to answer his third, unfinished question but the man remained silent.

Adrien swallowed his emotions, his face impassive. ‘I shouldn’t be here,’ he muttered and stood up. ‘I don’t know what I expected.’

‘Adrien, wait,’ Gabriel moved as if reaching for him.

Adrien looked at Gabriel’s hand. He slowly raised his tired eyes, waiting. 

‘I’m so sorry,’ Gabriel whispered, voice cracking.

‘No you’re not.’

Gabriel opened his mouth, but no words spilled out. He stammered, silent.

Adrien stared at the man and all he felt was sadness. Sadness for a life lost, for what could have been, but nothing at all for the man himself.

‘I’ve married Marinette and she’s pregnant with your grandchild.’ He said emotionless. ‘Mother wanted me to be the one to tell you.’

Shock rose in Gabriel’s eyes. ‘Adrien. Adrien! Wait—’ but Adrien had already turned on his heel and walked from the room. He didn’t look back.

~~~

Marinette gave birth in the middle of a storm.

The rain battered at the windows and wind howled through the cracks, then a baby’s wail rang out, drowning it all out.

The nurse placed the baby boy in Adrien’s arms as lightning flashed outside. He sat down on the bed with a thump, stunned and amazed and gazed at his son, at his tuft of dark hair and large bright eyes.

Marinette lay her head on his shoulder. ‘He looks like a Hugo, don’t you think?’ she said softly.

Adrien burst into tears.

Marinette and the nurses looked at him in alarm as he held Hugo tight to his chest and thunder crashed outside as rain pummelled the rooftops.

That storm, oh so many years ago, had changed his life for the worse, filled it with regret and guilt and ways he should have changed it. 

But no more. 

Adrien couldn’t stop staring at the baby in his hands. Marinette cooed and played with Hugo, and when Hugo giggled, Adrien was filled with so much emotion fresh tears poured down his face.

Marinette wiped them away and kissed him on the cheek. ‘I love you,’ she whispered. And Adrien gazed at the amazing woman who had saved him in more ways he could count.

‘I love you,’ he said fervently and kissed her full on the mouth.

And finally he could see so clearly his path moving forward. He was done with the past. Done with it dragging and ripping into him time and time again.

He had a family worth loving and a life that was worth living. He could finally begin to heal.

Since people are sharing Emilie headcanons, here's the source for one you may have noticed in my fics:

"My dad's pranking me, right? Wait, he couldn't be. He has no sense of humor."

"Mom's the only one who could make me laugh like that"

I've seen theories about Gabriel being a pun lover, but based on the above and a few other little clues, my theory has always been that Emilie was the one who loved wordplay in all its various forms. In my world, she's the reason Adrien loves puns and why he's so good at them. You don't get that good unless you've practiced with a solid verbal-sparing partner.

Both Gabriel and Adrien are paying homage to her throughout the series. Gabriel with akuma names, Adrien by having fun and using puns to distract said akumas.

17Hello! I was thinking, since you doing kinda a "lesbian month" (sorry, not the best name.... @mlbfemslashfebruary ) do you have a trans character? Either boy or girl? Also, I remember you made a post about your AU's characters' romantic/sexual orientation, what # should I use to find it?😅

Marc is nonbinary and Arthur and Blanche are both trans. I also headcanon Adrien as a trans girl but idk if it will ever be mentioned.

It was in the #reference tag. I generally put important stuff for MD there (like the seating and height charts) but I can't find the post? I think I deleted it, probably because I changed my mind about some of them.

#ask #miraculous ladybug #miraculous disaster au #reference #marc anciel #blanche duval #arthur duval #adrien agreste #i cant really think about her name #because adrienne is just a genderbent name #i think that she wouldnt want to be associated with the grabiel brand anymore #her being trans is kinda more important in an au of md #because it mostly takes place in the agreste mansion because stephan lives there #but the focus still isnt on adrien #its more focused on emilies reaction to her #im rambling again

[huynun]

You guys are gonna be mad at me but at the end of my au, I’m not gonna bring back Emilie

I know everyone wants happily ever after and stuff for everyone and since Adrien’s dad is gonna go to jail and stuff, you want him to at least have one parent left

But hear me out here

I want to have the lesson that hanging onto grief can be incredibly damaging to both you and the people around you and that you do have to accept people are gone sometimes but things will get better

#anew au #miraculous ladybug #mlb #mlb au #emilie agreste #I know I know #I just wanna show kids that sometimes you lose people #and you can find ways to live without them #you can have a happy ending still

if the agrestes weren't rich i think that gabriel would be the normal one. like gabe's problem is that he stopped running into natural limits due to absurd wealth and his obsessive nature led him to develop some kind of god complex where he won't accept that anything is out of his control. I think that if gabe was broke again and just simply couldn't afford to go on an international goose chase for ancient magic artifacts of untold power, if he had to work a 9-5 to live and couldn't just disappear into his basement lair to commit domestic terrorism and say evil monologues to himself, then he would be way more normal. he'd just be some guy. he might even let himself have a mowhawk again. but I think that emilie would be way LESS normal if they weren't rich. like emilie needs so many people to be obsessed with her so much all the time in order for her to function. and gabe would still have his toxic codependent obsession with her, sure, but that wouldn't be nearly enough. emilie has to be at the center of the world's spotlight at all times because she doesn't know how to exist if she's not performing. anyway all this to say I am so certain that if the agrestes were not disgustingly wealthy, emilie agreste would one million percent be running a massive family vlogger youtube channel

#this post is sponsored by the version of emilie agreste who lives in my mind #in this scenario adrien still exists so maybe he's a normal baby somehow. but the important thing is that he's still exploited #this is just an exercise for me in thinking about how much of the agreste family dynamic you could preserve if they were middle class #how much wealth is an enabler of the terrible things happening in that house #but yeah agreste family vloggers au. I guess. #where adrien shows up at school and everybody knows him because his mom posted his potty training videos online and everything since #he has no secrets every milestone he's ever had has been packaged up and sold to the public #until he becomes chat noir of course. etc #oh god emilie would vlog her own death😭 help #get ready with me to die and haunt the narrative🤩 #ml #anna rambles #I wrote this because im not finishing my homework:(

Reverse Emilie Agreste didn’t die from a broken miraculous she clearly murdered by Superme

Gabriel mentions that he used to work for Superme's court but stole the miraculous of butterfly and peacock for what he wanted most

What he wanted the most is of course ; create Adrien

However the miraculous in Emilie's hand in the Gabriel’s song is not broken

Even if it was already broken it is very likely that this person who also gave Toxinelle and Griffe Noir their miraculous is Master Fu which is the evil antagonist of that universe and we all know he have the knowledge to fix a broken miraculous

Also there blood details around Emilie's hand in the image

There is a huge Superme logo behind Gabriel who is crying hysterically and holding Emilie's dead body

This entire image which looks like a murder scene gives the impression that Superme killed Gabriel's wife Emilie in revenge for stealing peacock and butterly miraculous

At the end of the generic we see Gabriel who fights with Superme to avenge his wife and wants to bring peace to the Dystopia he lives in

Also that means Griffe Noir working for his mom’s killer without knowing when he wanted to bring her back to life so badly

Less than 12 hours until the release of “The Tortured Poets Department”!

Hence, I present to you, “The Tortured Catboy Department”

Track List:

SIDE A: Deux Semaines (feat Ladybug) / The Tortured Catboy Department / My Lady Abandons Only Her Favourite Partners / Down Bad

SIDE B: So Long, London / But Daddy I Love Her / Fresh Out the Slammer / Akuma !!! (feat Monarch)

SIDE C: Guilty As Sin? / Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me / Even Ladybug Can’t Fix This / loml

SIDE D: I Can Do It With a Broken Heart / The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived / The Cataclysm / Adrien Agreste

Bonus Tracks: The Black Cat / Solitude / Doppelgänger / Tell-Tail Heart

(Love how so many of the original track names still work)

My takes of what each song is about/inspired by under cut (but, if you feel like it, tell me yours :D)

I’m picturing all of these to be from Adrien’s perspective so they reflect mostly his version of the situations rather than the objective reality (especially the Laybug centered ones)

Deux Semaines (feat Ladybug): This one would focus on the sequence in Multiplication where Monarch doesn’t attack and how LadyNoir’s relationship recovers from the events of Season 4.

TTCD: Kept the “Catboy” singular because while there are multiple Catboy identities, there is only one boy underneath them all. Hence while I think it would be about him just stating his issues with everything, it would also focus on loneliness and how his department is understaffed :(

MLAOHFP: All of the Season 4 LadyNoir separation arc angst, with the “Favourite” being a callback to Risk (and kinda a jab at Rena because he thinks that she’s really her favourite, but y’ know, she didn’t abandon her so Rena can’t be her actual favourite)

Down Bad: Mainly about how Chat’s love for LB makes him excuse her behaviors, but also makes him act out (maybe a reference to Elation).

SL,L: About the whole arc of Gabriel sending Adrien to London and all of the memories he would have surrounding this ordeal - key point, not “So Long, Paris” because he didn’t want to leave, and in the end he comes back to a changed world.

BDILH: This one’s either about the Chat Blanc breakup or Gabriel’s dislike of Marinette in Season 5 (or both, with maybe a line about how he feels like this has happened before)

FOTS: Adrien realizing his father is a Bad Person.

Akuma !!! (feat Monarch): This one would be like a song about his daily life and then the chorus would start with a shout of “Akuma!!!” and it would switch to him as Chat Noir. I feel like it would start out with normal life being boring/hero life being fun but as it goes on he grows exhausted. Monarch has a rap verse.

Guilty As Sin?: Chat Blanc centeric - would ask who is to blame for the destruction of the world, like is it Chat because he lost control or Hawkmoth because he took advantage of his son’s emotion?

WAoLOM: Chat Blanc centric at first (like a villain song) but ends with Adrien reflecting on the events of Evolution-Destruction-Multiplication-PS night

ELCFT: I think it would be about his relaction ship with his father and how he wishes there was something he could do to go back to how they were when Emilie was alive but there’s no easy fix and his father keeps on getting worse and worse after any attempt.

loml: A song for Marinette with a bittersweet air - she’s the love of his life but he can’t tell her everything, and she can’t tell him everything either

ICDIWaBH: CatWalker centric - him going back to Ladybug in Kuroneko.

TSMWEL: I actually have three for this one - 1. About Gabriel and his need to domineer because he feels small and powerless. 2. About Adrien feeling small and insignificant. 3.About Plagg because he’s a smol boi (it would be like a lighthearted, cheeky song, like when you sing to your pet about how adorable they are)

The Cataclysm: Literally about how he cataclysmed Monarch, but also about how the event impacted his perception of self.

Adrien Agreste: Ending the album with a song that’s his own name :o.

Now for the variants:

The Black Cat: This one has Chat on the cover and the song is mostly about his bad luck. ‘I Love You It’s Ruining My Life” works both directed at Ladybug and his father.

Solitude: With Chat Blanc on the cover, this one’s about his mother. I think the “You Don’t Get To Tell Me About Sad” is pretty self-explanatory.

Doppelgänger: CatWalker is on this one, his song would be about how he may literally be the same person but he doesn’t fully feel like himself. He had to repress a lot of himself to be CatWalker hence I thought “Am I Allowed To Cry?” fit him really well (especially with Plagg not giving him the time to fully recover before he had to jump back in). Please note the crossed out name (unlike Chat Blanc) because he’s reinventing himself.

Tell-Tail Heart: This one has Ladybug on the cover - wait she’s not a Catboy?? The song is titled “Tell-Tail Heart” as a reference to Edgar Allan Poe’s “Tell Tale Heart” and would explore Chat’s perspective of Ladybug’s guilt for keeping secrets, how any excuse she makes is ultimately unimportant because she would do it either way. The fact that this is the only song title with a pun references how Chat tries to lighten the mood and avoid serious conversations, and the “Tail” is supposed to refer to Rena Rouge. The flowers she’s holding are meant to be foxgloves which symbolise secrets and insincerity (they’re also poisonous and damage the heart :)). I also really liked the “Old Habits Die Screaming” for her as it could mean both Chat Noir’s love for her being an old habit that he cannot get rid of, but also her habit of keeping things from him (especially with how she does it again at the end of season 5) being something she can’t stop. It is also him being able to see that, despite what she tells him, her “Heart” is tells him otherwise.

(also would like to point out that he wouldn’t mention Rena by name, he’s upset, not evil)

Emilie Graham de Vanily spent her life training to be a ballerina. All she wanted to do was perform. One of her most famous performances was that of the ballet Le Papillon. It was there on that set that she met Gabriel Agreste---only a seamstress's assistant at the time, with big dreams of becoming a famous fashion designer one day.

Unfortunately, Emilie's time in the spotlight as a ballerina would be short-lived. A devastating injury sharply ended her career. Hoping to achieve the next best thing, Emilie turned her sights to becoming an actress. Another flame, it seemed, destined to burn out too quickly...

The Small Print (Adrien and Claw Noir)

or Action Faust

Family portrait detail

Continuing with the darker side of the Reverse Paris world this winter... and a little redraw of the Agreste Family portrait.

Notice that only Emily is wearing the amok ring. Gabriel probably never used it. And Emily abused it (its' one of my headcanons). Our reverse Gabriel is such a creampuff. I choose to believe that in the multiverse serialized episodes (LOL), reverse Adrien will find out the truth about his mother in one season finale and finally forgive his father.

Either the voice of the Supreme or the voice inside Reverse Adrien's head. This song is one of my favs. I collect live Muse performances and this one I have yet to hear live. One day...

Song is inspired by Goethe's Faust. So yes it's The Devil singing but it has no religious views. One of Muse heavier tracks:

Hope

and I hope you've seen the light 'cause no one really cares They're just pretending

Sell, and I'll sell your memories [...]

But you can keep the bad days

Say, it'll make you insane And I'm bending the truth You're to blame For all the life that you'll lose ... and

You, watch your space And I'm going all the way And be my slave to the grave

Can you do Adrien agreste x y/n who is a childhood friend romantic headcanons?

Childhood friend to loves w/ Adrien Agreste

[ HEADCANONS ] [ Miraculous Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir ]

Hehe ~ I like this prompt quite a lot, I just find it pretty cute 🤭 thanks for requesting it! Hope you like it

Want to know something interesting? My bestie is living her own childhood friends to lovers in real life (me envy)

To be friends with Adrien since he was a child it has to be because your family is influential or part of the fashion world, or even has to have a really good relationship with his own, otherwise Gabriel won't allow you to be friend of his son (unless is while Emily is still alive since she is more willing to let you two be friends)

Is probably that you were friends with Cloe too, however she will either don't like you much or think really high of you and think you are above everyone else (like she does with Adrien)

Adrien will appreciate a lot if you treat him as just a friend and not as the son of a famous fashion designer and, later, a model (and, actually, that is when his feelings for you start to grow), he likes just being your friend, for him it doesn't matter much if you are more the shy or introvert type, or if you are more extrovert and energetic he will be more than happy to spend time with you and, at the end, is more likely that he just get used to your own rhythm

As he grows up Adrien tries to stay with you and Cloe as much as posible since you two are his only friends, however once his feelings start to grow as an innocent crush he will just mistook them as enjoying a lot your company and tries to be even more close to you (and it could easily go unnoticed for you two being friends for so long)

Is probably that Emily would notice but decided to don't say anything and just cheerish for you two. Is also probably that Natalie notice his growing feelings for you too, but she doesn't say anything about it neither, mostly because she isn't sure about what to do in that case

As time pass his desire to go to school grows more, one of the reasons is also because he wants to be able to go to school with you (specially if you tell him stories about what you and/or your classmates have done or what you do in school, even if for you is boring for him it isn't). Adrien wants to go to the same school as you and constantly express that to you but is probably that he won't tell you when he finally tries to sneak to go to school since it could be a good surprised (although his excitement won't allow him to hide it for too long)

Once in school he is pretty excited for everything and to make new friend and yet he can't help but be a little clingy with you (as long as you allow him to)

After a while of being in the school and with his new friends it could become more obvious his interest on you, and depending in how you are (how affectionate or just by how comfortable you are around him) people could even start thinking that there is something between you two. Nino, being his closest friend, will probably the one bringing the topic, asking him to already spit it out and say if you two are together or not (followed by Alya and all the rest of his friends if they heard), Adrien insist that there is nothing between you two since in his mind is actually like that, maybe knowing that your friendship is really stronge but he thinks is because is for how long you two had been friends

After that, and since Adrien don't seem to fully identify his feelings, his friends will make their personal goal to push you two together (what doesn't seem too difficult according to them), by trying to help him understand his true feelings and trying to put you two together

From his part, once Adrien finally undestand and accept his feelings he will try to win your heart in the right way, he won't asume that you feel the same and will never dare to force his feeling on you, so, for him, the only right thing to do is court you and try to win your heart (even if his friends insist that you feel the same). He tries to be romantic and affectionate (even if he was already affectionate now it goes with a new meaning)

At the end, for him it doesn't matter much who confess to who, what matter is that you reciprocate his feelings and being able to be in a relationship with you make him feel like when he was a child, like when you used to play together and forgeting about the rest of the world, he feel incredibly happy
