Possibly How It Should Have Been
Gosh, I've just thought about it sometimes, as I'm largely trying to turn my creative focus onto something more enjoyable than ML (hence less writing for ML fics), but sometimes I just can't help but focus on it. Cause it's a great concept and it's butchered and that bothers me so much.
And there's SO MUCH that could've been done to improve it. Some of which could be easy tweaks. Some of which needs massive overhauling. Some of it is just picking a lane, staying in that lane, and you follow the road to progress.
It's a great concept with a LOT of possibilities and ways it could've been done. I've actually thought about possible ML Rewrites a few times, I even reached out to a friend to try and help develop a Rewrite that we could've collabed on cause I was struggling to much to decide, and we both just got stuck cause there's so many options for characters and what could possibly be done as we could see so many pros for each option.
And of course, part of the pondering that came to my mind was seeing promising improvement with kwami swaps.
Like, Marinette and Adrien may have developed better if they had each other's miraculous. Plagg could've been the ideal foil to Marinette as he's the opposite of her in every way, addressing her overworking herself, prioritizing others over herself, and caring so much about her responsibilities that it just weighs and stresses her out. And with Adrien and Tikki, she could've helped him develop as an actual, step up in responsibility, learn to take on duty, to care about others over himself. She also would've helped him get the plot rolling, as Adrien is a stagnant character but Tikki is not. She's going to get him involved into the Agreste plot whether he wants it or not, and in turn, he's going to get Tikki to learn to be more attentive and considerate of her holders cause things can go south for Adrien very quickly if she pushes too much.
Gosh, another great kwami swap that could've been done that could've improved a lot was switching up who are the leads. I always wondered if Tikki and Plagg TRULY would've picked Marinette and Adrien, also if they were even the right picks now that we know that Fu doesn't know everything and is running on limited knowledge. As far as we know, they ARE the wrong picks for these two. And considering there was an ep of Tikki and Plagg picking their own users, I now wonder if Alya and Nino should've been our actual leads.
How Alya was initially as Scarabella screams to me that it would've better served in the Origins as a starting hero. Alya also has promising potential arcs as a starting hero, especially as being a superhero is her living her dream:
There's the struggle of balancing her civilian and hero life, she can learn that the civilian life is just as important.
She can learn that being a hero isn't all glory and isn't always easy.
She can learn the importance of secrecy, and what happens if she exposes herself to the public or to a friend (probably Marinette).
And a lot of the lessons Tikki is involved with would make more sense with Alya, who does get tunnel vision and isn't good at listening to others and isn't so considerate and can be very pushy with her own agenda. Alya naturally aims for the leadership position and Tikki wants her Ladybugs to be leaders, so Tikki can help guide Alya to improve as a leader. Lastly, Alya will challenge Tikki on her call outs, which could at certain points help established that Tikki isn't always right and is open to learn and adapt too. And Alya could busy herself looking into HM, making her theories and being nosy about his identity, which Tikki would readily be apart of and encourage. Which Alya should've done in the show than recklessly trying to expose the heroes identity to the public and help HM win. Which, if Adrien wasn't a hero, maybe that should have been his role instead, which Gabriel could encourage and Adrien is even more excited cause he thinks his father is taking an interest in what he does which can be some later Adrien angst for you.
With Nino and Plagg, the BIGGEST plus is that it would actually give Nino SOMETHING outside Alya and Adrien. It would've prompt him to get more focus, and based on what's seen, he's 2nd to Marinette in having the most friends, meaning he can be more engaging and present with what happens to his classmates. Plagg also could bring some needed chaos to his life. You can even expand upon what's seen in Horrificatr where Nino can be controlling, strict, and harsh so Plagg can work on that. Nino does have some similarities to Marinette where he does care a lot for his friends and is hardworking, so there's something there to make Plagg a bit of a foil to him. To expand on Nino's role as Alya embraces being the big hero and savior, could even do the fandom popular idea of him getting Guardian training.
With those two taken, this nicely opens up others getting the Five.
Marinette can work with either Bee or Fox. If you want to work off Chloe vs Marinette, it works best if Marinette has the Bee. Though I think Pollen's personality should be overhauled, but if not, at least there's a perk that yes man Pollen going to force Marinette to take initiative and decide things for herself instead of seeking advise from her kwami. And with Fox, that can work off Marinette being a meddler, schemer, being creative, and her more inclined to work from the shadows. There could also be a fun twist to explore with Marinette not liking liars and she has a miraculous tied to deception, plus her and Trixx could've been an interesting pair to see interact, especially if working off what's seen in Sapotis where Trixx is very observant and manipulative, but also a bit of a chaotic gambler (from what I've seen, later seasons seem to ruin Trixx as a character). And of course, Marinette having Fox could work off her vs Lila, you could even dabble in her vs Felix.
Arguably, Chloe MAY grow as Alya and Nino would NOT have been so tolerant of her unlike Marinette and Adrien, so Chloe could've gotten the Bee and actually be a good hero and character for it. But that can also come down to preference and how you want Chloe to go.
Adrien could've gotten the Turtle, which I think could've been one of the best miraculous he could've gotten as he naturally likes to be a protector, and this miraculous works off that while also giving him protection. Wayzz also could've maybe addressed Adrien readily sacrificing himself, help him learn to be more cautious instead of rushing in, or at least think and be smart about how you go forward. There's even a possibility of Adrien having Turtle full time, as Nino could share his suspicions with Fu about Gabriel, so Wayzz could be there as a spy to check things out, which would have Adrien eventually get involved in his own plot, but still allow things to be at a slower pace. And as Wayzz, ideally, seems to be serious and dedicated but also playful and open minded, I think he would be very engaging with Adrien, which in turn could mean that when Adrien needs a call out, he would listen to what Wayzz had to say more (as most of the time Adrien ignores what Plagg says).
As for the leads, both would have an equal neutral involvement in the plot that can explain why things don't resolve quickly (looking at you Adrien who won't even ask questions about the suspicious book your father has). Alya would be a hero and lead for glory and self-righteousness, Nino would be to genuinely help others. Neither would have a super close tie to Gabriel, allowing him to sit under their noses for a while.
Also, gosh, you even could've had a lot of fun with color coded rivals/foils/personal antagonists for Alya and Nino.
If you really wanted to do Alya vs Lila, let Lila actually have the Fox or maybe she bought the Fox in Volpina, and this has Alya and Lila having the miraculous the other is color coded for. She could work off being a hero initially for the wrong reasons, just like Alya who starts for the glory too, as well as integrity vs deception.
Something could also be done between Nino vs Felix, with Nino really color coded for Peacock while Felix is color coded for Cat. Could play off both being ambitious to a fault and being selfish and nosy, but Nino cares more for others vs Felix is more exclusive.
And if expanding to others...
Of course could do Marinette vs Chloe if Marinette has the Bee, Chloe could have the Mouse, which could be funny to see Chloe deal with herself. That might humble her.
As for Adrien... could do him and Max being foils, work off Max getting Horse while largely wearing green, and I think Adrien is most color coded for Horse. Could work off both being perfectionist and could delve into the shared interest of gaming, with Max trying to bring out the competitiveness in Adrien. Could be thinking vs action.
Either way, ML is frustrating cause it's a show with potential and great concepts and it's irritating that it got butchered so. And the most frustrating thing is that there is just so many options to how it could've been done better. And kwami swap wise, these are my top two picks that would've been better.
Thank you for coming to my TED talks.

Miraculous fanart: Chloebug Date + Miraculous rewriting: Chloenette AU (Season 1)
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):
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
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.
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.
