Here is a wholesome pic of Gargoyle Belos and Hunter. Now I am currently working on adapting my Stoneheart AU to fit closer to canon... But what isn't going to change is that Gargoyle Belos is still Hunters biological dad and in spite of being a tyrant, as well as a wild witch hating jerk... He actually does love his son and is a pretty good dad.
Canon Belos can go rot...

Akumaclass Harem AU
Marinette has a crush (whether she yet knows it or not) on all of her classmates, and when she kisses their Akuma forms (either as Ladybug or as Marinette), their Akumas’ connection to Hawk Moth severs and they regain their normal minds and are able to switch between civilian and Akuma modes.  This also prevents Hawk Moth from Reakumatizing them, as technically they still have an Akuma.
It first happened with Lady Wifi.  Her Akumatized best friend had her locked to the wall and her partner trapped, and she was making a big show of how she had full control of the situation and was going to unmask her to all of Paris.  Ladybug was very attracted to the presented power and was overcome with the urge to kiss her, to the surprise of both of them.  Alya’s normal mind and morality were restored, and Hawk Moth’s connection to her was broken, and she quickly dismissed the livestream sigil and the locks.  She apologizes for everything and drops her Lady Wifi appearance while Ladybug uses the Miraculous Cure.  Marinette wonders what could have happened, but Tikki has no answers that would explain it as being a power of the Ladybug Miraculous.
Evillustrator- Marinette explains the situation to Sabrina adequately, and Sabrina is touched that Mari would agree to the date to help Nath and keep Chloé safe.  On the date, Marinette is genuinely charmed by Evillustrator/Nathaniel and gives him a kiss on the cheek.  This has the same effect as on Lady Wifi and Nath comes to his senses while still appearing as Evillustrator.  Marinette admits that she worked with Chat Noir to trap and Deakumatize him, but Nath tells her that she did the right thing even if he doesn’t like being tricked.  Chat reports to Chloé to tell her that she is safe now.  Marinette wonders how she has this power, and muses the possibilities of if it is a hidden power of the Ladybug Miraculous or something akin to True Love’s Kiss.  In the meantime, she offers to go on a real date with Nath.  When Marinette relays the night’s events to Sabrina, the latter girl is dismayed as she wanted to ask Mari out on a date, but Mari agrees to that.  So she starts dating both Nathaniel and Sabrina, and both are willing to help her with her crush on Adrien.
Ladybug gets this to work with Horrificator but ironically fails to perform it on Dark Cupid.  When Nino tries to tell Marinette he likes her but panics and says he likes Alya and Marinette comes up with ideas to set them up, Alya is annoyed in part because she is in love with Ladybug after the Lady Wifi kiss.  But Alya and Nino still end up falling for each other and start dating.  Ladybug later uses her magic kiss on Princess Fragrance and Reflekta (but not Gamer, Vanisher, or Antibug).  After she comes to understand Chloé’s situation, her pushed-down feelings spark up more clearly rather than having Chat Cataclysm the Bee Comb.  She still takes the Miraculous back to Master Fu and discuss the whole “Akuma Cure Kiss” thing.  While she does not have the Miraculous, Chloé cannot become Queen Wasp again, as the Akuma is in the Miraculous, but she could be Akumatized without it.  Marinette takes part in the fight against Reverser in civilian form due to her Ladybug form being reversed and made clumsy so Marinette has the opposite state, and she kisses them to bring Marc to their senses.  So by the time we get to Heroes’ Day, Marinette is dating Nathaniel, Sabrina, and Marc, while Ladybug has Alya, Mylène, Rose, Juleka, and Chloé pining for Ladybug.
When Vanisher follows Ladybug in an attempt to find the Guardian, Ladybug detransforms and kisses her as Marinette to free her from Hawk Moth’s control.  Every Love-Redeemed Akuma aids Team Miraculous in fighting Scarlet Moth’s army, while Chloé starts out as Queen Bee in the fight before shifting to Queen Wasp to clear out large numbers of Scarlet Akumas when she thinks of it.  Ladybug gets kisses in on Timebreaker (really easy because Scarlet Moth had her stand by because he remembered that she is the one Akuma he doesn’t want to use) and Stoneheart (kept occupied by Horrificator).

Miraculous AU - Chapter 3 - Stoneheart
Beginning || Previous || Next 
            Marinette and Alya burst into their classroom. Everyone present paused and turned towards the pair.
            “Everyone, we have a new classmate!” Alya announced.
            Rose bounced excitedly. “Who is it?”
            Alya glanced towards the door and held up a finger. Marinette looked over as Chloe and Sabrina entered the room with Adrien behind them. When he entered the room, all eyes turned to him.
            “Everyone, meet the Adrien Agreste!”
            A few audible gasps escaped the other students, while a few others were unfazed.
            Rose bounced to the front of the room dragging Juleka behind her. “Hello, Adrien! It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m Rose Lavillant and this is my girlfriend, Juleka Couffaine.”
            Juleka blinked. She stared at Adrien with an analytical eye. Adrien shrank back under the weight of her eyes.
            “Don’t worry. It’s how she says hello,” Alya said.
            “Sure.”
            Luka approached and stood beside Juleka.
            “Hey, I’m Luka Couffaine, Juleka’s twin.”
            Adrien smiled and offered his hand to Luka. “It’s a pleasure, Luka.”
            Luka returned the smile and handshake. “Likewise.”
            “So, what brings someone like you to our school?” Alix asked from her desk.
            “Alix, be nice,” Rose admonished.
            “What? I can’t be the only one wondering. Right?”
            Everyone else shrugged, except for Max and Alya.
            “It is a tad peculiar that you’d be here, Adrien,” Max said.
            “Yeah, even I can’t help but wonder why,” Alya agreed.
            “Well, to be honest, I’m not sure either. Father was against the idea before, but he suddenly changed his mind. He even went as far to enroll me in the same school as Chloe.”
            “Are you two friends or something?” Alix asked.
            “Is there a problem with that?” Chloe asked.
            “So long as he’s not like you,” Alix retorted.
            Adrien leaned over to Marinette. “Is there a problem with that?” his whispered.
            Marinette looked at Adrien. “Huh? Oh. Chloe just doesn’t have the, uh, best reputation around here. But I’m sure that won’t be a problem.”
            “You think so?”
            Marinette nodded. “Chloe’s rep might cause some trouble, but I’m sure once people see the good in you, they’ll see past all that. If they don’t, that’s their loss, am I right?”
            “I suppose.”
            Marinette lightly nudged Adrien. “C’mon, let’s take our seats. Class should start any minute.”
            Everyone dispersed towards their seats. Adrien looked around and saw Chloe pointing to the sat in front of her. As he moved there was a loud crash. Tremors shook the ground. Everyone standing stumbled and fell or caught themselves on something.
            “What was that?” Rose asked.
            Before anyone could speak, there was a loud, monstrous roar and thunderous footsteps.
            Alya tugged at Marinette’s dress. “Let’s investigate.”
            “Alya. Wait.”
            Alya ignored Marinette and ran out the room. Marinette sighed and ran after Alya. In the halls, students were filed out of classrooms towards the exits. Their teacher ran up and stopped before them.
            “Marinette. Alya. I ask that you evacuate with everyone else.”
            “What’s going on?” Alya pressed.
            “You’ll find out soon enough. Now go.” Their teacher left them and headed into the classroom to get the others.
            Marinette turned to leave as a goliath stone golem came barreling through the walls. Students and teachers were sent flying with the rubble. Marinette and Alya were separated by the monster. It ignored them as it headed for their classroom. Marinette gawked at the monster until a little ladybug buzzed around her. She turned her attention to the ladybug as it landed on her nose, buzzed its wings, and twirled three times.
            “Little lady? No, Tikki.”
            Marinette scooped up ladybug Tikki and ran. She had to transform, but not here. She stumbled her way pass the rubble to an empty classroom on the ground floor. She halted when she saw the destruction of the stone golem. The classroom torn apart, debris everywhere, and remnants of students unable to escape the destruction.
            “Tikki?”
            The ladybug morphed into Tikki. “Yes?”
            “I have to ask, that Miraculous power, can it…?”
            Tikki shook her head. “I’m sorry, Marinette. Some miracles come at certain prices.”
            Marinette opened her mouth, but then shut it. She bowed her head, then looked at Tikki. “Then we need to stop that monster. Tikki, spots on!”
            Tikki vanished into the earrings and transformed Marinette. She followed the path of destruction until the monster was in view. She grabbed her yo-yo and took several breaths. She pitched it towards the monster, smacking it on the head. It growled and turned towards her.
            “Stay out of my way, little bug! I will crush you too!”
            Marinette’s eyes widened; that’s Ivan’s voice. She looked up and saw the exposed pipes. She threw her yo-yo towards them, and it wrapped around them. She tugged on the string, and it pulled her towards the pipes.
            “Please, I just want to talk.”
            “I’m done talking. I’m going to destroy everyone that ever made fun of me, made me feel weak. Once I do, I’ll take what’s mine.”
            “But is it worth all this?” Marinette gestured behind her at the destruction.
            “It’s a small price to pay, but I’ll pay it.”
            Marinette frowned. She glanced and saw her classmates and teacher sneaking past the monster. “No price is worth this. It makes you no better than those that bully you.”
            The monster roared and reared back its arm, crashing into the floor. Her classmates shrieked as they fell. Marinette freaked out and flicked her heads. Her yo-yo released from the pipes, and she fell. She ignored her own descent as she threw it towards her classmates.
            “Creation!”
            The yo-yo turned into a ball of red light and flew towards the students. A net formed under them, breaking their fall before they hit the ground. Marinette smacked into the floor, though the impact didn’t hurt. She stood as the monster turned towards her classmates.
            “Get out of here! Run!”
            Those that remained on the net slid off and ran for the exit. Of the students, Adrien paused and looked back. The monster charged towards the ladybug hero but missed as she dodged away. It collided with more of the building, bringing more of it down. Chloe grabbed Adrien’s arm and pulled him from the building, past the crowd. Students all around him were being directed in an attempted orderly fashion.
            “Let’s go. We’re going back to the Le Grand Paris and there we’ll call Nathalie,” Chloe said.
            “Maybe you should head back, and I’ll wait for Nathalie here?” Adrien suggested.
            Chloe turned and gave Adrien a look. “You’d rather wait here while there’s a rampaging creature, that could still kill you, just to wait for Nathalie to get you?”
            Adrien chuckled nervously. He rubbed the back of his neck and felt something fuzzy. He turned slightly and was face-to-face with a black cat. It purred loudly as it smiled, rubbing its chin on him. He looked back at Chloe, her eyes wide and jaw slightly ajar.
            “I can explain,” Adrien started.
            Chloe pressed her index finger to her lips, then dragged Adrien away. She took them far enough from the school and crowd, hiding in an alley way. Once hidden from view, the cat transformed into Plagg.
            “About time! Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for you to escape?” Plagg scolded.
            “Now is not the time,” Adrien said as he gestured to Chloe.
            Plagg looked at Chloe. “What? I never said you couldn’t tell others.”
            “You barely told me anything. Look, that’s beside the point right now.”
            “Adrien, what’s going on?” Chloe asked.
            “Uh, I might have agreed to help this little guy and I need to go back to help that ladybug girl.”
            Plagg sat on Chloe’s head. “Yup! Might want to hurry. The ladybug isn’t exactly built for combat. That’s our job.”
            Adrien sighed. “Plagg, claws out.”
            Plagg vanished into the ring and transformed Adrien.
            “I need to go. I’ll see you later, I hope.” Adrien grabbed his staff and readied to leave but was pulled back by Chloe.
            “Once you finish, come to the hotel. I’ll tell Nathalie that you’re with me if she asks. As far as she knows, you’re still at school, until she or your dad sees the news. It’ll be the top floor, with the largest balcony. Trust me, it’ll be hard to miss.”
            “Are you sure? Father might-.”
            “Who cares? We have a lot to talk about. So, hurry and help that ladybug girl, then we’ll catch up.”
            “I’ll try to make this quick.” Adrien waved good-bye and headed off.
            Inside the school, Marinette ran about as she dodged the monster’s attacks. She caught a glimpse of the net she created disappear and her yo-yo finally return to her. She hurled it at the monster’s leg. Her yo-yo warped around it, and she ran, catching its other leg with the string. The creature yelled as it fell. When it hit the floor, it dropped a purple ball from its right hand. She used her yo-yo and took the odd ball before it could reclaim it.
            “Give that back!” the monster roared.
            “You want it? Come and get it!”
            Marinette threw her yo-yo up. It managed to catch onto some hanging debris of a massive hole in the ceiling. She tugged on the string, and it sent her up. On her ascend, the monster threw a rock towards her. It narrowly missed her but hit her yo-yo. Panic seized her as she fell. She closed her eyes and threw her yo-yo again. Fortunately, it caught on something. She pulled the string, but there was a delay. She tried again and was launched into the air. She opened her eyes to see the sky on her descend back down. She closed her eyes again, ready to throw her yo-yo again, but someone caught her. She cracked open an eye and gasped softly. A tall boy with messy blonde hair with black cat ears and a mask looked at her with piercing green cat eyes.
            “Caught between a rock and a hard place, little lady?”
            Marinette blushed as she stared at him.
            He put her down. “Sorry to leave you to this rockhead. Y’know how us cats can be. Always showing up whenever we want to.”
            Marinette chuckled nervously. “It’s no big deal. I had it under control, mostly. So, you’re my, uh, partner?”
            “The one and only. You can call me.” He paused.
            Marinette looked the boy up and down. He was a few inches taller than her, but no surprise at this point. His outfit was a mostly simple black catsuit except for the top of it. From his upper chest to out to his arms was a lime green. Around his waist was a set of three belts with one of them extending out into a tail. It was all simple but worked perfectly. She looked back up to his eyes and saw the confusion in them.
            “Did you say something?” Marinette asked.
            He blinked, then laughed. “I said you may call me Chat Noir, little lady.” He bowed with a small flourish to her, then stood. “And what do I call you?”
            “Um. Ladybug?”
            “Alright, Ladybug, what’s the plan on dealing with rocky?”
            Ladybug held out the ball. “This.”
            “What is that?”
            “It’s the source of its power, I think. It sure wants it back.”
            In response, the monster roared and hurled boulders at them.
            “So, what’s the catch? Why haven’t you destroyed it yet?”
            “I can’t. Only you can. Probably with your destruction powers.”
            “Purr-fect. We can wrap this up quickly then.”
            Chat Noir held out his hand. Ladybug went to hand it over but paused as she heard a shout. She looked around for the source, then heard it again from below. She glanced down and screeched. Alya stood beside some piles of debris with her phone out.
            “Can you keep the creature distracted?”
            Chat smiled and pulled out his staff. He examined it, pressed the green pawprint button, and it extended. “My pleasure.”
            Ladybug waited for him to jump in before she headed towards Alya. She skidded to a halt beside Alya and glared at her. Alya’s eyes widened as her jaw dropped.
            “What are you doing here? You need to leave!”
            Alya looked around, avoiding eye contact. “I… was separated from my class, but just listen before you take me away.”
            “Make it quick.”
            “I have a blog I’ve been making on superheroes and you guys are the real deal! Could I maybe?” Alya trailed off as she nudged her phone closer to Ladybug.
            Ladybug sighed and facepalmed. “Fine, but the moment the monster is gone, you stop the recording.”
            “Deal!”
            Ladybug nodded and turned to the monster. She tossed her yo-yo in front of the monster’s face as it caught on some rubble. “Hey, Kitty!”
            Chat landed on the golem’s head, looking over at Ladybug. She smiled and tugged on the string. She flew towards the monster and tossed the ball behind her.
            “Look good for the camera!”
            Chat grinned and launched towards the ball. He caught it and rolled on the ground, standing up before Alya. The monster grabbed the string of the yo-yo and yanked on it. The yo-yo was released from the rubble and hovered over the monster.
            “Creation!” Ladybug yelled. The yo-yo glowed and transformed into a large blanket that covered the monster. She landed on it and looked over at Chat and Alya. He posed for her as he held up the ball. Black particles emitted from his hand and turned the ball black. It crumbled away and a purple butterfly shot from it. It writhed and broke apart. Beneath Ladybug, the monster vanished. Ladybug yelped as she plummeted but was caught by Chat.
            “Spacing out again?”
            Ladybug giggled awkwardly as she rolled her eyes. “Not… not this time. Just wasn’t prepared for that.”
            Chat nodded and put Ladybug down. He lifted the blanket causing it to poof into a cloud of red smoke. The yo-yo fell onto the ground next to an unconscious Ivan. The particles that emitted from Chat’s hand vanished as well.
            Chat grimaced. His cat ears pinned back. “Oops, sorry.”
            “It’s ok. You saved me a minute of waiting. Did you stop the recording?” Ladybug added on, looking at Alya.
            “I did. See.” Alya held up her phone to show she wasn’t recording anymore.
            “Good.”
            “So, was this boy that golem thingy?” Chat asked.
            “I believe so. I was told that the butterfly can transform others and give them powers, but it’s in the hands of a dark-hearted person, so its power is corrupted.”
            “So, instead of making them like, superheroes, they’re supervillains. And now Paris has its own heroes.” Alya grinned and help up her phone towards Chat and Ladybug. “Smile for the camera.”
            Ladybug opened her mouth to protest but was cut off when Chat pulled her close to him and posed. Ladybug froze. Blush crept up on her cheeks as she stared ahead.
            “Good reflexes, Chat,” Alya said.
            Chat chuckled nervously as he ran a hand through his hair. “Yeah… yeah. Alright, let’s get going. Where’s exit?”
            “Buried under a mountain of rubble,” Alya said dryly.
            “I guess we go up then,” Ladybug said.
            Alya grinned and took Ladybug’s arm. “I’ll go with her. You should be able to handle him, right, Kitty?”
            Chat looked at Ivan and shrugged.
            “Excellent. Let’s go, Ladybug!” Alya yelled.
            Ladybug rolled her eyes and threw her yo-yo up, catching it on the ceiling. She pulled on it and it launched them up. When they landed on the roof, they saw the school was surrounded by police, the news, medical vehicles, and fire engines.
            “So, what’s the plan?” Alya asked.
            “Try to make a good impression?” Chat suggested.
            Ladybug nodded. “Let’s go.”
            They jumped down before the barricade. The police started and braced themselves. The police chief, Roger, strolled out and stood between them and the police.
            “What do we have here?”
            Ladybug stepped forward. “I’m Ladybug and this is Chat Noir. We have taken care of the golem that was rampaging in the school. The monster is no more.”
            “Yeah? Where’s your proof?”
            “It’s all on here,” Alya said. She handed her phone to Roger. He watched the recordings. A mix of awe, disbelief, and glimpses of terror passed on his face. Once the clips were done, Alya snatched her phone back.
            “Manners, young lady, but I see that the monster was vanquished. Do you two know what the case of this was?”
            “To my understanding, there is someone in possession of a powerful item that allows them to transform others. I cannot say what causes the transformations, but I do know that you’ll see a butterfly, one of dark energy.”
            Roger looked between each of them, then at Ivan. “Was he?”
            “Will you help him? I don’t know what the process does to the body, and he might need help.”
            Roger nodded and gestured to the paramedics. They rushed in and took Ivan from Chat and ushered Alya away.
            “Will he be punished?” Ladybug asked.
            Roger scratched his head. “I can’t exactly say. This is… unusual, to say the least. I will need to speak with the mayor. For now, let me thank you both for what you’ve done here. We’ll take it over from here, get a cleanup crew in, the boring stuff.”
            Roger bowed his head slightly, then turned to bark instructions to his men. Chat’s cat ears twitched as he looked at the school, then at Ladybug.
            “Do you think we could do something?”
            “About what?”
            “The school. We have the powers of creation and destruction. Surely, we can do something, right?”
            “Did your kwami not tell you?”
            “No.”
            “Well, you’ve got a bit of luck on your side. My kwami told me that with the power of both of us, the power of destruction can fuel to power of creation to make something long-lasting.”
            Chat beamed. “What are we waiting for? Let’s do it!”
            “Wait. Understand this, once we use the power, we won’t have long before we transform back. Once we use the power, we need to leave immediately.”
            “So, what’s this power called? How exactly do we use it?”
            “It’s our Miraculous.”
            At the word, the spots on Ladybug’s outfit glowed a bright red. A circle with a ladybug symbol appeared at her feet. In her left hand, a red orb appeared. The green on Chat’s outfit and eyes glowed. A circle with a cat symbol appeared at his feet and a black orb in his right hand.
            “Together?”
            “Together. One. Two. Three.”
            “Miraculous!” they said in unison. They threw the orbs up in the air. The orbs hovered for a moment, then shot towards the school. They watched as the debris and rubble were consumed by the black sphere and it was remade by the red one. When it was done, there was a burst of blinding light, and the school was back as it was before. A beep emitted from both heroes. The spots on Ladybug’s earrings disappeared along with the paw print from Chat’s ring. They waved good-bye and headed off before they transformed back.

I finished the fic! The Fic™ is what lived in my head rent free for three months - it’s basically my love letter to Ruina Stoneheart with lots of Clay struggling and having a bad time
Destitute grave
Tumblr media
Summary for those who want it!
Reeling back the retort, sitting on the tip of his tongue, the knight forced himself to snort with derision. "Why would I be? I destroyed the nexo knights, remember?"
"So you keep saying," Garg said, his eyes a pair of burning embers amidst the dark expense of his face, "but for a monster of your caliber, you cling to your previous titles with a strange fixation."
The nexo knight had to bite the inside of his cheek so as not to react outwardly. The lack of pain - of feeling - didn't help his predicament. Then Garg's words registered in his mind. "A monster of... my caliber?"
Ingrid cocked her head, pushing Baltic, who had long since given up on being a part of the conversation, out of her way. "You don't know?"
Clay's stint undercover takes a day longer. That changes a few things.

A Stammering Adrien AU Flashback
Chloé dangled by her ankle in the grip of Stoneheart, the akumatized persona of Ivan. From what she had gathered, he was like this because she made him angry, and now here she was, dangling 300 meters above the ground. No, not dangling. Falling!
“NO!”
Yes. Stoneheart had dropped Chloé, and now, she couldn’t even scream. She was far too terrified. The ground was getting closer, and closer, and closer. Time seemed to slow down, and Chloé’s life flashed before her eyes. A lifetime of misery and mistreatment, not towards her, but towards others by her, with only the few exceptions of her standing up for Adrien. At the end of that vision, for a split second, Chloé could make out the ghastly image of the Grim Reaper, waiting for her. This was it. This was the end. Before that could happen, however, just about 4 meters off the ground, the new superheroine, Ladybug, caught Chloé and brought her down safely, setting her down on her feet. Chloé was frozen, stiff as a board. She couldn’t move, nor could she speak. She simply stood there.
“Chloé? Are you okay?” Ladybug asked. “Chloé? Chloé? Chloé?”
“Chloé,” said Sabrina
“Huh?!” Chloé snapped back to reality. She was back in her room with Sabrina, Marc, and Marinette. 
“You okay, honey?” Marc asked. “You zoned out for a bit.”
“Just a bad memory,” said Chloé. “Remember Stoneheart?”
“The akuma Ivan became that week before we had that dinner?” Sabrina asked. 
Chloé’s head lowered a bit. “Yeah... I think that might have been the kick in the butt that I needed to rethink my life...”
As Chloé hugged her knees, her friends looked at her, then at each other, then back to her. Finally, Marinette said something.
“You want to talk about it?”
Chloé looked up at her former enemy and current friend, and with a deep breath, gave her answer.
“Yes.”

Connections 15
Chapter 15
this is based on @thepeacetea daminette soulmate au
MasterList *** First *** Previous
~~~~~~~~~~
Under the cover of darkness, close to midnight, did Mari leave to meet Wonder Woman.
When Marinette arrived at the Justice League headquarters in France she was met with not one, not two, but three Amazonians.
"Queen Hippolyta, it’s wonderful to see you once again." She greeted.
"As well as you, little bug." Came the Queen‘s response.
Marinette de-transformed and then they started the conversation.
They discussed how they would proceed with the miraculous threat and how to retrieve all the miraculous without causing irreparable harm. Because the thought is that whoever this Hawkmoth is, he was no chosen of a Kwamii. Meaning there will be consequences, and even though his actions are not ones they condone or support. That doesn’t mean they are cruel enough to let this person be harmed by their own stupidity.
Yes the miraculous give blessings to their holders, but only if they are the right holder, with the right jewel. As each time a miraculous is used, the holder quite literally channels the kwamii's power. The more compatible, to the kwamii, a.k.a. a true chosen, the person is able to use the powers of the miraculous safer and easier. The opposite is also true, and incompatible person will be hurt to the point of damaging themselves physically, mentally, emotionally, and even damage their souls.
Which is why they also had to find this guardian to see about taking back the miraculous of the cat.
Which brings us to the reason why there’s three Amazonian‘s currently in front of her in Europe.
Wonder Woman, because yes she is Marinette's teacher of sorts within the Justice League.
Queen Hippolyta, for being a past ladybug, and also because it would be wise to seek out the Guardian.
And finally Artemis who was tasked with finding the guardian to discuss how this threat will be eliminated.
After a bit a back-and-forth Diana decided that she would have to head back, and so did Hippolyta. Artemis had decided to start the search halfway through the conversation and had left.
Now that she was alone, she knew there was another person she needed to meet with. So, she re-transformed and checked her yo-yo.
Luckily there he was transformed and roaming the city. With a quick text of directions, she was off. It took less than 10 minutes to arrive, seeing as he was already there.
Before she said a word, with a practiced motion, she drew one of her escrima sticks. And proceeded to draw a spell glyph in the air. Resulting in a protective box inside the bell story.
"Thank you for coming Chat Noir."
"Is there something you need to discuss?"
"Yeah… there is." She took a breath to steady herself.
"Are you planning on sharing our identities?" He wiggled his eyebrows, she assumes.
"No, I wasn't." She saw him deflate. "Did you receive your miraculous from the guardian?" She started to question.
"Yeah… " He seemed to think but almost like he wasn’t sure, figures, seeing that he was rubbing the back of his neck.
"You don’t actually know." It wasn’t a question but a statement.
"Sorry." He shook his head.
"No, it’s fine. Artemis can find him, and Hippolyta will know what to do." She hung her head and whispered to herself ever so slightly.
"Was that all you wanted?" He stepped towards her, but she stepped back.
She shook her head in response. "Did your kwamii... did Plagg tell you..."
"How the black cat and ladybug are soulmates meaning you and I are Soulmates. Oh what do you think our soul mark is. I haven't noticed anything different have you?" He spoke without taking a breath, waiting for her answer.
"Sorry, but you aren't my cat." She shook her head.
"What?!"
"You and I aren't soulmates." She stepped forward, taking his hands in hers. The certainty in her voice caused him to freeze.
"Does this mean I'm not a hero." His voice and ears dropped; his head bowed sadly.
"No." Her voice was steady, no hesitation in her voice or posture. "You are a hero. Your actions so far prove that."
"But I'm not your cat."
"No, but you are a chosen."
"How could you know that for sure?"
He looked at her sadly as if he didn’t believe a single thing. A small small part of her understood that whatever he was feeling was because of something in his personal life made it so.
That the love and attention he got was conditional. It broke Mari's heart but also, she understood. She remembers before Papa, Uncle B, her brothers, before Damian, the love she received in Paris was conditional. She also knew Damian would understand because of the League's similar conditions.
She had to shake her head before she could spiral. "I know you are. Because your soul resonates to the miraculous. It just isn't that of the black cat. But..."
"LB. you should give this to your soulmate." He didn't let her argue, he dropped the transformation. "You are Ladybug and I am not your cat."
He took off the ring, grabbed her hand and placed the ring into her palm. "I’m sorry for wasting everyone’s time."
There in front of her stood a blond-haired boy, his eyes closed, with a sad, defeated look on his face, and a say in his shoulders.
"You didn’t."
She grabbed the blonde haired boy’s wrist.
Marinette was going to drop her transformation, but call it intuition or maybe this was cosmic interference, so she didn’t. "Please, keep the ring until my cat can take your role. But you have helped so much, please continue being a hero."
"You're just saying that. You don’t know me." He mumbled barely audible. If it weren’t for her enhanced sense and close proximity, she would have missed it.
"Hey kid." Mari heard a new voice drawl. "Adrien."
The boy looked up and noticed the black kwamii floating in front between the two of them. "Plagg?"
"You might not have been my kitten, but you are a hero. And I’ve seen my fair share of them." Plagg responded as a matter of fact.
"Adrien." She repeated the name, drawing his attention. "Plagg is right. Heroes are more than just being chosen by a miraculous, artifact, or powers. It's what they choose to do with that power. You have a heart of a hero, so please don’t lose faith so easily."
She took the ring that was placed in her hand, grabbed his wrist, and pushed the ring of the black cat in his palm. "Fight with me for the time being."
---
"I..." She didn't let him answer. She turned and swung away from the tower.
"Are you putting the ring back on or what kid?" Plagg's voice snapped him from his racing mind.
"Yeah." He re-transformed and went home. The next morning he was resolved to go to school. Natalie and Gorilla caught him at the gate, but let him go in.
He made his way to the homeroom. When he stepped in everyone went quiet before he was tackled by Chloe.
"Adrikins!" She clung to his neck as he tried to regain his balance. "There's an open seat here in front of me!"
she led him to a front desk. "Thanks, Clo."
Was all he could say before the blonde next to him shouted. "What are you doing in my seat!?"
"The only thing needed for the triumph of evil, is for good people to do nothing." A bespeckled girl sitting behind him sat resolved.
"Get..." Chloe started but was cut off.
"Here-Here," A girl with blue hair, dyed at the ends responded, causing the entire classroom to watch her. But she didn't look up from her tablet.
"You're supposed to be on my side, Mer!" She stomped.
"And outburst like this is why everyone thinks you're a brat, Goldie."
"I have high standards." Chloe argued back.
"And you can still have them in the empty row up front." the girl pointed forward without looking up.
"I hate when you use that logic." Chloe grumbled but moved seats.
Adrien couldn't believe it. Someone could actually reign in Chloe.
"Hi, name's Nino." The boy sharing his bench introduced himself, snapping him out of his trance.
"Adrien." He greeted.
"I have to ask are you really friends with Chloe?" Nino asked.
"She's my only friend." He shrugged.
"Well now you have two." Nino pointed to himself.
"I'd like that." Adrien smiled.
"So, you don't know Marinette?" Nino brought up.
"Who?"
Nino pointed at the bluenette in the back who was still absorbed in the tablet. "she's apparently also Chloe's childhood friend."
"Really?" Adrien didn't recognize her.
"Apparently she just came back to Paris." Nino informed. "She seems nice enough, she's just blunt. We all don't know her well though."
"I heard she moved because of bullying?" A brown-haired girl behind him piped in.
"Really gurl." The bespeckled girl popped in. "You’re in the know Lila, spill."
The two girls behind him started talking, but his attention was on the girl sitting in the back of the class.
The whole day he tried to talk to her, but someone kept him. Be it Nino, unknowingly, Chloe demanding his attention, or her disappearing.
Then he saw her.
They were the last two in the school. It was almost like his luck started to turn. She was standing by the entrance, just before stepping out in the rain. She was on the phone. It took him a moment to realize she wasn't speaking French, but english.
So, he quickly hid behind a trash can while in earshot.
"I know I should've..." He doesn't think she noticed him.
'...' The other person must've said something, as she pursed her lips.
"That would've crushed them!"
'...'
"I know... but."
'...'
'Sigh.' "Why don't we talk later." She breathed. "The walls have ears after all." She looked directly at him.
She knew he was there; did she know the whole time.
"No need, I'm already here." A boy with black hair came running in the rain.
"You're soaked!" She hit him with her umbrella.
"Sorry." the looked down and opened his own umbrella. "I didn't mean to eavesdrop." He held out the umbrella to the boy.
He hesitated before taking it.
Thunder clapped.
Adrien ran out to the waiting car.
He might not have talked to her, he might not have made the best impression, but he hopes that it's a start. He smiled down at his hands. Barely catching a glimpse of the golden ink that was sinking back into his skin.

I read your post on Hollow Mind, and just imagine Stoneheart and Canon Hunter interacting
Oh boy this is a fun one. Because I have one such scenario for this very situation.
Let's just say there was some time/dimmensional storm on the Boiling Isles that just so happened to affect Canon Hunter and Canon Belos. And they end up in the alternate universe of Gargoyle Hunter and Gargoyle Belos... They are in some section of the woods not to far from the castle.
Let's be honest, Canon Belos is probably going to try to kill his Hunter now... Yeah he tries to do this while Garg!Belos is nearby, trying to just clear his mind with a calming glide... And he happens across THIS? Listening to Canon!Belos outright degrade his Hunter and drag this poor kid down mentally and get ready to strike a killing blow to harvest his components to try again with a different Grimwalker?
Yeah no...
Garg!Belos is many things, but he doesn't tolerate anyone who hurts kids. Any form of child abuse in his kingdom gets SEVERE punishment.
The fact that this kid looked like a witchling version of his own son doesn't help Canon Belos's survival rate...
So to sum up what happens, Canon Belos loses this fight... BADLY... Well, he was pretty much going up against a tank with claws, fangs, a high tolerance for pain and has a particular talent for mauling people he doesn't like...
Canon Belos's guts are displayed around the trees like party streamers and his internal organs are just ripped out... He isn't quite dead, but he will get there. And once this task is done, Gargoyle Belos takes one look at this Hunter, who sadly watched that nightmarish spectacle... and just picks him up and takes him home.
Yep, this is his kid now.
He'd just bring him back to the castle and see his Hunter and Kikimora talking... until they see their Belos approaching, carrying this even more traumatized kid. And he'd casually tell his Hunter that he has a new Rookery Brother now.
Gargoyle Hunter is very confused.
Kikimora feels a massive headache starting. She needs something stronger than coffee, but maybe less than cocaine right now... As she goes to argue with her Belos about adopting an alternative version of his son.
Well this leaves the two Hunters to interact... Even though to say it is awkward might be the understatement of the millennium. But Gargoyle Hunter is a sweet kid and he, realizing the traumatized version of himself before him... he just tries to calm him down. Which understandably takes a while. But once it becomes obvious that he's not in any danger and in some twisted way, he's being welcomed... He would probably actually really get along with Gargoyle Hunter.
He would need to be explained what a Rookery Brother is though...
...also they'd get bunk beds...
(It's late and frankly I had fun writing this 😅)

Stonehearted AU - Myvan AU
Basically in this AU Master Fu didn't have any holders picked out when Stoneheart attacked, forcing him to don the Ladybug Miraculous himself to fight the akuma. This was a slow akuma fight because of that, leaving Paris a lot more wary of akumas than in canon.
Ladybug!Fu ends up approaching Ivan the night after he was akumatized, and decides to give him the Black Cat Miraculous and tasks him to fight akumas. Ivan goes by Razor Claw when transformed and handles the battles on his own while Fu purifies and heals the city afterwards.
Tumblr media
I don't draw humans too much, but this is what I imagine Razor Claw to look like. His claws can retract as needed, and he tends to be very quiet, always hiding in the shadows and retreating after fights. Paris appreciates what he does, but at very intimidated by him at the same time.
Fu is a lot more involved with the heroes in this AU, and Ivan knows there's a Guardian from the start and will learn his identity much sooner. Because Stoneheart was most disastrous in this AU + Paris' critical view on those akumatized, Ivan never ended up confessing to Mylene at the start of school, but still has feelings for her.
Mylene, on the other hand, has taken noticed of the very quiet hero protecting Paris, particularly how gentle he is despite how fierce he might appear in battle. It's the little things she notices, like how Razor Claw always guides the purified butterflies away from fearful and hateful citizens.
Tumblr media
Mylene won't become a Ladybug holder until a bit later in the AU, but Fu is consistently keeping an eye out for a good replacement for him and a partner for Razor Claw. Mylene will go by Dotty when transformed. Dotty struggles at being a hero at first, but is determined not to sit back, wanting to make a difference.
And of course a lot of cute and fluffy Myvan moments throughout it all.

Stone Heart - Chapter One (Intro)
(TW: Remus being Remus, threats, swears)
The kingdom of Briston all fell into sorrow the moment they lost their crowned prince. A prince who took time to listen to those that needed to be aided. One who would visit the city with a warm smile. He was absolutely perfect and was loved by all. Yet, too dangerously by one he used to call his true love.
Now, a single tear trickled down the stone features of the prince. His petrified form lay abandoned amidst the overgrown foliage of the castle’s garden, as if nature itself had rejected him. The flowers and vines refused to touch him as if he were to turn the rest to stone. The sky was duller, and gloomier than it once was. The air was thick with the scent of dying roses, their petals littering the ground like blood-red snowflakes. The castle's workers, although heartbroken, sensed something amiss, kept their distance from the cursed statue. Their eyes filled with a mixture of fear and sorrow. It had been just a few months since the day the prince's jealous lover had turned him to stone, not wanting him to find love in another's arms.
Prince Roman of Briston was loved by many, and they lost hope bringing back the one who held their kingdom together.
~~~
What others seemed to forget, that under Roman’s unforgettable light, that his twin brother was just his shadow. Yes, Remus could care less about his royal heritage. He didn’t mind Roman as the face of the kingdom. The brothers had a mutual understanding that it’s just how their roles played out. Yes, they argued constantly, sillishly so. Remus knew that if he had an opportunity to leave the kingdom, he would. It wasn’t his forte. Now, his royally idiotic brother decided that turning into stone was a fantastic idea. That meant leaving Remus to be ambushed by people he hardly remembered talking to.
“What will you do now that you’re filling in Prince Roman’s shoes as the crowned prince, as the heir to the throne.”
“You have to get your act together now, Prince Remus. As this kingdom will fall into you now.”
Just shit like that. Remus wanted to scream, and rip his hair out. And not in a fun way. This was the most overwhelming feeling he felt. The most scared he felt. He isn't even responsible. He would run across the corridors, slide down the stair rails. He would knock things down without a care and carry on his day. He couldn’t just fill the role of Roman now! It was Roman’s job!
Of course, now that annoying Logan and his need for him getting things done didn’t help at the moment. It wasn’t just normal paperwork stuff. It was planning to say goodbye that Remus had to plan. Finally, he snapped. “ARGH!!! Just stop! I don’t want to do this! Fuck you! Fuck this!” Remus boiled over. All the other castle workers moved their attention to the prince, watching this breakdown.
With a heavy sigh, Logan looked down at Remus firmly. “Prince Remus, I understand your frustrations. This is just a matter you cannot refuse any further. You must come with me to—“
“No!” Without any warning, Remus sprinted off down the halls of the castle. He didn’t want to do it. He didn’t want to prepare for a funeral for his brother like he was gone forever. He wasn’t. He could come back. He had to come back. Remus skidded into a stop, his boots making a harsh squeak against the polished floor. He glared down at a set of guards that were next to the door that led to the castle's garden. “Move.” He hissed out harshly. A bit freaked out, both guards opened the door for Remus.
The young boy stepped outside, feeling the huge change of atmosphere the second he breathed the air in. Remus felt his legs grow heavy, having to force his way toward where his brother stood frozen. Running his fingers through his hair, Remus let out a shaky laugh. “You just had to do this, didn’t you?” He sneered. “Leaving me with all your shit for me to do, huh?!” Remus didn’t realize that his tears were spilt out. He felt his knees grow weak and collapsed onto the grass. “I hate you Roman. I hate that you fell in love with some prick we can’t even find.” He gripped the grass underneath his hand and pulled it out. “When I find him, I swear, I’m going to make him want to be dead. I’ll shove his own cut off hand up his ass so far down that—“ Usually, Roman would be scrunching up his face in disgust and to tell Remus to cut it out.
These two had a complicated relationship. They could be talking for weeks, and then the next they would avoid anything by being near each other. At the end of the day, no matter who viewed it. Remus loved his brother, as disgusting that would sound coming from his mouth but still… he did. Remus stared into Roman’s empty eyes. His expression was left with sorrow. No fear, no anger. Roman’s last feeling was being heartbroken. Remus hated that. Remus hated all of this. “I can’t do this without you, Roman. Come back. Fucking come back.”
~~~
Virgil’s heart felt like it was going to burst. This was a bad idea. Such a bad idea. How did he get himself into this and not out of this? Remember, your sister. Swallowing back his anxieties he stared at the castle's walls from a distance. Gripping the strap to his satchel, he breathed in and continued on to his destination.
Never in his life he would find himself sneaking inside the castle to help steal someone so valuable. Yet, when a guy shows up demanding Virgil to go in and threaten his little sister's life, there was little control he could do in this situation. He had to be desperate. He had to be careful and get this guy what he wanted. Just go in there, and help find an opening. The thing was, he was told it would take a few hands to move this thing. Which caused Virgil to be weary if this was ever going to succeed or not. How would they sneak this thing out? What would they do if someone questioned if they haven’t seen him before. What would he say? What would you do without your sister?
Once again, Virgil took a deep breath and stopped in front of the castle's gate. “And you are?” A guard asks, questioning the boy who approached. “Uh, I’m… I was sent to start working here? I, here-“ Virgil fumbled through his satchel. A bit slower realizing that the guards were just being cautious of what Virgil would pull out. He took out an un-forged paper, addressing the permission for work. What a way to screw up a dream too, Virgil.
“Ah.” The guard glanced at the paper and back and Virgil. “A new gardener, ey? I’m sure there’s a reason they decided to do that considering.. er… Well, welcome in, kid. You’ll find someone to escort you where you need to go. Go ahead.”
Virgil moved past the gate, and onward into the castle. There was no backing out now. There couldn’t be any mistakes. He had to get this done.
