#Alix gets the Fox Miraculous

[wordsofrowan]

From Ashes to Embers

Chapter 15 - And The Room Falls Silent

Just as I glanced at my phone to check the time, a vibrant pink glow enveloped the screen, revealing the presence of Lady Wifi. She materialized before me, her digital form flickering with an air of both vengeance and malice. 

"I'm here for you, Marinette. I'm your friend," Lady Wifi declared, her voice dripping with false sincerity. "You will tell us all your secrets, and you will feel so much better!"

A surge of adrenaline coursed through my veins as I realized the gravity of the situation. Without hesitation, I sprinted up the stairs, my heart pounding in my chest, desperate to escape her clutches. Lady Wifi's persistent attempts to pause me only fueled my determination.

I burst out onto my balcony, the cool afternoon air hitting my face as I scanned the surroundings for an escape route. Lady Wifi, searching for me, looked around frantically, her gaze darting from one corner to another. But this time, I had a plan.

As Lady Wifi's eyes fell upon the illusion of me created by Trixx, confusion washed over her. "How did she...?" she muttered, her voice laced with bewilderment. The clever illusion led her to believe that I was running towards Collège Françoise Dupont, throwing her off my trail.

Under Lady Wifi's lead, the Gang of Secrets followed the illusion, their footsteps echoing through the silent streets. Lady Wifi's desperate call rang out, her words a mix of frustration and feigned friendship. "Don't run away, Marinette! We're friends, aren't we?" she shouted, the echoes fading into the distance.

Back in the safety of my room, I turned to Trixx with gratitude shining in my eyes. "Thank you, Trixx," I whispered. With unwavering determination, I called upon my transformation, ready to face the challenges that lay ahead.

"Wait Trixx," My voice carried a note of concern, "when a kwami uses its power without a holder to channel its energy, doesn't it often set off some kind of catastrophe?" I asked, worry etched on my face.

"You're right, Ladybug. My power, however, creates illusions," Trixx explained, "Illusions have a way of playing tricks on the mind, so the side effects will hopefully remain confined to their imaginations," Trixx added, a hint of optimism tugging at his voice. He glanced back at Wayzz and Barkk, who seemed slightly annoyed by his recent display of power.

Rolling my eyes, I made my way to the balcony, my determination unwavering even in the face of uncertainty. The scene before me unfolded with an air of surrealism as the Eiffel Tower began to dance, its movements strangely distorted due to the Mirage.

"Oh, Trixx," I said as I sighed, a mix of exasperation and affection lacing my voice. With a flick of my wrist, I unleashed my yo-yo, using its power to transport me to the heart of the unfolding spectacle.

As I surveyed the cityscape from the rooftops, my focus was suddenly interrupted by Chat Noir's voice in my ear. "Hey there, m'lady," he greeted, his tone laced with playful banter. "Somebody is having a supervillain party and didn't invite us."

nodded, my focus shifting to the imminent danger we faced. "They're looking for Marinette Dupain-Cheng," I explained, my tone tinged with both concern and confusion. "One of their own classmates."

Chat Noir's voice held a hint of incredulity as he echoed my thoughts. "Haven't we already saved her a bunch of times? Funny you'd think everybody would like her."

A pang of sadness tugged at my heart as I thought about the recent events that had caused Marinette to become estranged from her friends. The weight of the situation settled upon my shoulders, reminding me of the complexities of human relationships.

Pushing aside my thoughts, I focused on the task at hand. "Well, apparently, she's managed to alienate all her friends at once," I said, my voice filled with determination. I could not let personal emotions hinder my duty to protect the city.

Chat Noir's reassuring presence provided a much-needed anchor amidst the chaos. Sensing my momentary lapse, he gently prodded, "You still there?"

Shaking off my thoughts, I refocused on the task at hand. "Just thinking," I responded, determination seeping back into my voice. "With five villains, it's not gonna be easy finding the object that has the akuma."

Chat Noir, his unwavering faith in my abilities shining through, chimed in with a hopeful tone. "I bet you already have an idea, right?"

A determined smile graced my lips as I formulated a plan in my mind. "I'm going to isolate one of the villains from the others," I explained, my voice filled with conviction. "I'll convince her to reveal the location of the akuma. Meanwhile, you track down Lady Wifi. She seems to be the one in charge of the others."

Cat Noir's support echoed in his response. "Good luck, M'lady," he said, his unwavering faith in me bolstering my spirits. 

I smiled, grateful for his unwavering support. "Thanks, you too," I replied, my voice filled with gratitude. Together, we were a formidable team, ready to face any challenge that came our way.

With a graceful leap, I descended from the rooftops, the wind caressing my face as my yo-yo spun effortlessly through the air. The city streets blurred beneath me as I guided myself toward Timebreaker, skillfully luring her away from the clutches of the other four villains.

As I swiftly retrieved her pocketwatch and shattered it, a surge of disappointment washed over me. There was nothing within it, no trace of the akuma we sought. Timebreaker couldn't help but taunt me, relishing in her temporary victory. "Sucks to suck, Ladybug. I don't have the Akuma," she teased, a smug grin playing on her lips.

Maintaining my composure, I shrugged off her mocking words, responding with calm confidence. "No biggie," I replied, my voice steady. "I just wanted to talk to you anyway."

Timebreaker scoffed, turning her head away in defiance. "Like I have anything to say to you," she retorted, her voice dripping with disdain.

Undeterred, I pressed on, determined to bridge the divide between us. "Listen, Alix," I began, my voice filled with empathy and understanding. "From what I understand, you've been facing some challenges with your friend, Marinette. I may not know the details of what transpired between the two of you, but I want to share something about a friend of mine."

A flicker of curiosity danced in Timebreaker's eyes as she reluctantly turned her gaze back to me. I seized the opportunity to paint a vivid picture of the bond I shared with my own loyal companion. "She is the epitome of loyalty, headstrong, and dependable," I explained, passion infusing my words. "We may keep secrets from each other at times, but the trust we have in one another is unwavering. I know she will always have my back, just as I will always strive to do the right thing for her."

I locked eyes with Alix, my belief in her potential shining through. "And I trust you, Alix. I believe that you have the strength to reject the power Shadow Moth has bestowed upon you," I declared, my voice filled with conviction.

As my heartfelt words reached Timebreaker's ears, a visible struggle began to unfold within her. The grip of Shadow Moth's control weakened, a flicker of resistance shimmering in her eyes. A distinctive purple butterfly outline materialized on her face, a symbol of the menacing influence that sought to keep her enslaved.

"Don't listen to her, Timebreaker!" a distorted voice echoed in Alix's ears. "If you resist, you'll never uncover your friend's secret. Or Ladybug's, for that matter!"

My voice grew stronger, filled with determination as I implored Alix to trust in herself. "I trust you, Alix," I affirmed, my words carrying a weight of importance. "I need you. You're the only one who can help me."

Timebreaker's struggle intensified, her body wracked with spasms as her inner battle reached its climax. With a resounding scream, swirling clouds of black and purple engulfed her, transforming her back into Alix. I acted swiftly, catching her fragile form in my arms as she teetered on the brink of fainting.

Gently cradling Alix, I whispered words of reassurance, my voice a soothing balm against the residual effects of Shadow Moth's control. I couldn't contain my admiration and excitement. "Wow. No one has ever done that before... you're amazing, Alix," I exclaimed, a genuine smile lighting up my face.

Alix returned the compliment, her voice filled with gratitude and sincerity. "It's because you're an amazing friend, Ladybug. I see that now"

We raised our fists in unison, our hands meeting in the air. Smiling down at Alix I knew I made the right choice in allies, If she was going to continue to be by my side in the future I need her now as well. 

But our moment of triumph was abruptly interrupted by the urgent ringing of my phone. With a sense of urgency, I retrieved my phone and glanced at the screen, my heart racing with concern.

"Which object holds the akuma?" I asked Alix, my mind already racing to formulate a plan.

Alix furrowed her brow, her eyes reflecting deep thought. "It's in a bracelet," she responded, her tone filled with concern. "Alya must have it, but you and Chat Noir won't be able to take on four villains at once."

A mischievous grin tugged at the corners of my lips as an idea formed in my mind. I reached for my yo-yo, spinning it open to reveal the Fox Miraculous nestled inside. "I think this calls for the master of Illusion," I declared, my confidence shining through. 

Alix's eyes widened with awe as she took in the sight of the Fox Miraculous. "Woah! That's so awesome," she exclaimed, her excitement palpable.

I chuckled, a playful sparkle in my eyes. "I have loads of tricks up my sleeve, being the Guardian and all," I shared cryptically, knowing that I couldn't reveal too much.

Alix nodded emphatically, a newfound sense of responsibility shining in her eyes. "You can trust me, Ladybug. Your secret is safe with me."

I put the silver chain in her hands "Put it on, Alix, and when you're ready, say 'Trixx, let's pounce!'" I instructed, my voice filled with encouragement. "With your power of Mirage, you'll create illusions to aid us in our battle."

Alix followed my guidance, slipping on the Fox Miraculous. In a dazzling display of light, Trixx, the wise and mischievous kwami, materialized before her.

Filled with determination and a renewed sense of purpose, Alix took a deep breath. "Trixx, let's pounce!" she exclaimed, her voice brimming with confidence.

My eyes widened in astonishment as Alix underwent her transformation. Pink fox ears sprouted from the top of her head, accompanied by a fluffy pink tail swaying behind her. She wore a sleek black bodysuit, accentuated by vibrant pink and silver jean shorts that hugged her form perfectly.

But it was the rest of her outfit that truly caught my attention. A stylish pink and white bomber jacket adorned her shoulders, adding a touch of flair to her ensemble. Her footwear consisted of thigh-high black platform heels, exuding confidence and power with every step she took.

To complete her striking appearance, Alix wore a white fox mask over her face, adding an air of mystery and intrigue. The mask accentuated her determined gaze, as though she was ready to take on any challenge that came her way.

Alix beamed with pride, her voice filled with wonder. "This is incredible!" she exclaimed, spinning around to fully appreciate her new form. 

I couldn't help but share in her excitement, a genuine smile gracing my lips. "You look absolutely amazing, Alix," I complimented, my voice filled with admiration. Curiosity piqued, I couldn't resist asking, "What should I call you now?" My eyes met hers, eager to learn the name she had chosen for her heroic alter ego.

A mischievous grin spread across Alix's face as she responded confidently, "Vixen, of course." The name perfectly captured the essence of her newfound powers and the grace with which she carried herself.

I nodded approvingly, acknowledging her choice. "Vixen suits you perfectly," I agreed, my voice laced with enthusiasm.

As the sun began to set over the picturesque Canal Saint-Martin, its golden rays cast a warm glow on the surrounding buildings and the tranquil water below. Cat Noir found himself in a perilous situation, pinned to the ground by the formidable Lady Wifi. With Vixen by my side, I quickly formulated a plan of action. 

Lady Wifi's voice dripped with confidence as she taunted Cat Noir, her grip tightening on him. "No Cataclysm to save you this time," she sneered, relishing in her perceived victory.

My mind raced, searching for a way out of this dire predicament. Summoning my Lucky Charm, a pool lifesaver appeared before me, offering a glimmer of hope. My eyes quickly scanned the area, desperately seeking a solution. "Okay, I've got a plan," I declared, my voice filled with determination.

Interrupting our conversation, Cat Noir couldn't resist adding his clever remark. "At the very moment you touch it, I'll summon my power, and then who knows what's gonna happen to you," he warned, mischief dancing in his eyes.

Princess Fragrance, always reveling in her own schemes, interjected with a sinister proposition. "Why bother taking it when I can make you my slave and order you to give it to me?" she suggested, a wicked smile playing on her lips.

Calculating the best course of action, I issued a command. "Give them what they want, now!" I urged urgency lacing my voice.

In the midst of the chaos, Vixen, with her incredible ability to create illusions, sprang into action. "Mirage!" she exclaimed, her voice resonating with power.

Suddenly, a lifelike illusion of my alter ego, Marinette, appeared before the gang. The sight of our friend seemingly running away ignited a chase as the Gang of Secrets, fueled by their desire to uncover the truth, began pursuing the illusion.

Meanwhile, in his lair, the villainous Shadow Moth seethed with anger. "No! Take his Miraculous first! Come back!" he shouted, his frustration palpable.

"Thank you, M'ladies. I was a whisker away from cat-astrophe," he quipped, relief evident in his voice.

My unwavering loyalty shone through as I reassured him. "That's what friends are for, kitty cat. Okay, you two get to the pool now," I instructed, determination coloring my voice.

 "What about you?" he asked, a hint of worry in his voice.

My resolve remained unyielding. "I'll keep our guests busy. Vixen will explain the rest of the plan," I reassured him, my voice filled with confidence.

I looked out of the corner of my eye where the illusion of Marinette continued to elude Lady Wifi. The tension in the air was thick as Lady Wifi closed in on her prey.

"It's time to give up your secret, Marinette!" Lady Wifi taunted, her voice dripping with malicious intent.

Outside the swimming pool, Princess Fragrance and the other akumatized villains reveled in their temporary victory. Their demands grew more audacious as they sought to control my every move.

In a dramatic turn of events, Vixen once again utilized her illusion powers, causing the Marinette illusion to vanish into thin air. Lady Wifi, left confused and disoriented, found herself suddenly submerged in the pool, a captive of her own misjudgment. Cat Noir, who had been waiting in the pool, used the pool lifesaver to trap Lady Wifi, effectively neutralizing her threat.

With Lady Wifi de-transformed, my attention shifted to the ongoing battle outside the swimming pool. Princess Fragrance, Horrificator, and Reflekta were still in relentless pursuit, their intentions clear.

As the battle against the Akuma-infected villains came to a close, I found myself standing outside the glistening swimming pool, catching my breath. Princess Fragrance, Horrificator, and Reflekta de-transformed, revealing their true identities. In my hands, I gently caught Rose, the innocent victim of their chaos.

"Thank you, Ladybug," Rose expressed her gratitude, her voice filled with relief and admiration.

I couldn't help but smile, my heart swelling with pride. "You're welcome, Rose. Protecting the people of Paris is what I do."

My attention shifted to the fluttering akuma, a small dark butterfly that symbolized the source of the villains' powers. With determination in my eyes, I prepared to capture and purify it, putting an end to its evil doings once and for all.

"No more evil doing for you, little akuma," I declared, my voice brimming with unwavering resolve. Swiftly, I extended my yo-yo, skillfully capturing the akuma in its grip. "Time to de-evilize!" In a dazzling burst of light, the akuma was purified, its negative energy dispersing into the air.

"Gotcha! Bye-bye, little butterfly!" I exclaimed, tossing the lifesaver-like object into the air. The Miraculous Ladybug power was activated, its magic spreading throughout the city. The damage caused by the villains, including the peculiar movement of the Eiffel Tower, began to reverse, piece by piece.

A sense of relief washed over me as the chaos subsided, replaced by a newfound tranquility. I turned to Vixen, my trusted companion, who stood by my side, their support unwavering.

"Pound it?" Vixen suggested a mischievous glint in her eyes.

A smile graced my lips as I mirrored their playful gesture. "Pound it," I replied, our hands coming together in a celebratory high-five. In that moment, Vixen, Cat Noir, and I shared a bond of victory and camaraderie, understanding the importance of our unity.

With the battle behind us, we retreated to a quiet alleyway, seeking a moment of respite. Vixen, weary from her first battle, de-transformed, returning to their human form. She exchanged a heartfelt high-five with their kwami, Trixx, who retreated into their miraculous.

Alix, still catching her breath, turned to me, gratitude shining in her eyes. "Thank you, Ladybug," she expressed sincerely, her voice filled with appreciation.

I met her gaze, my own eyes softening. "You know, without you and Chat Noir, I wouldn't have made it through today," I confided, my voice tinged with sincerity. "I'm truly lucky to have friends like you. So, thank you."

Alix and I embraced, our connection strengthened by the battles we faced together. In that alleyway, surrounded by the remnants of our recent triumph, I found solace in the knowledge that I had loyal friends who stood by my side. Together, we would face the challenges that awaited us, united in our determination to protect the city and preserve the balance of the Miraculous.

As I reluctantly released Alix from our embrace, I gave her a knowing smile. "Stay safe, Alix," I said, my voice filled with warmth and affection.

I can't believe they cheated us so hard on Sabrina here (and Rooster Bold, and Caprikid, and Minot-). They didn't give her a transformation sequence, and they even gave her miraculous to 2 other people! It's one thing if it was Ladybug and Chat Noir using them, but no. Both Alix and "Adrien" got to use Barkk's miraculous!

I don't think anything about any of the designs really scream Dog to me, but I think Sabrina's was the best in concept out of all of them. I think part of it is the colors, Plagg has the distinction of being specifically a Black Cat which combined with the green eyes makes it hard to mistake what animal the miraculous is based on. But Barkk has very similar colors to the Fox miraculous, and that definitely makes it harder to tell.

Personally I think basing the dog miraculous on a Dalmation, Cocker Spaniel, or Basset Hound.

But anyway onto the dog miraculous, I think I will also be changing the power. Instead my idea was that once the ball connects to something it can lead the dog user to the object via a trail only the user can sense. But the condition is, they have to know what object they hit. If they intend to track a person, they need to know that person's identity. So if Hawkmoth appears they would need to hit his cane or his miraculous in order to track them. But the trace on the cane would wear off as soon as he de-transforms. The one on the butterfly miraculous would last longer, but would wear off over time meaning he would just have to keep moving until then.

Gabriel is aware of this power, and knows it would be very useful if he could get his hands on it. But the risk is pretty high for him as well, since if they manage to trace his miraculous he'd be in trouble. So Hawkmoth is hesitant to appear in person.

As for Vanisher, I based on design on the Invisible Man. Specifically the 2005 french cartoon of the same name. I recommend it, I love Alan so much. She can appear as just the hat, glasses, gloves, and coat. Or she can turn completely invisible The akuma is hidden in the pin on her hat.

I like Sabrina's preppy style, so when I saw a pinafore dress in this dark orange shade I knew I wanted to use it for her Miss Hound design. I also love the beret, I wish they didn't steal it for Cani-girl. I did tie her hair back and altered the shade of orange to a more auburn shade. Her ball is attached to her bow, and I decided to keep the thigh high socks since they were cute.

Miraculous Animal AU

Hey everyone! Just thought I'd introduce an AU that will feature for JuleRose July. It's an AU where everyone is an ordinary animal on a special farm. Today we'll look at the Akuma Class (along with some extras)

Marinette the Ladybug - A lively yet clumsy lil ladybug who doesn't let her small stature prevent her in helping her friends. She's needed for making sure the farm's crops are healthy and loves munching on aphids and nectar. She's always flitting around, looking for inspiration for her designs, even if they are incredibly tiny.

Adrien the Cat - A kind and curious cat with golden fur. A total cinnamon roll, Adrien's always there to lend a paw. He can be a bit naive about the world at times, which can get him into trouble. He absolutely adores Marinette, as well as his fellow mates Kagami and Luka. Give him some catnip, and he shows a more wild side!

Alya the Fox - Alya is a crafty and corageous fox who's always yipping about news she heard from the other farms nearby. Farmer Caline even set up a little blog for her to report her findings. Unfortunately, humans can't understand her yet. She often finds herself debunking her fellow fox Lila's fibs. She also cares deeply for her turntable-loving turtle Nino.

Nino the Turtle - Slow and steady is Nino's motto. He's as chillaxed as they come and doesn't mind taking his time. The turtle thinks of himself as a DJ, which really means he likes climbing onto the record player and spinning on it. If he needs to unwind, he'll often pop into his shell.

Chloe the Bee - Chloe is always buzzing around flaunting her status as a queen bee, even if she's a a lowly worker. She can be full of herself and snobby at times, but get to know her and you'll see she can be sweet as the honey she produces. Her mates Lila and Sabrina know this firsthand. When she's not flying around with her sister Zoe or racing for pollen and nectar with Marinette, she likes to fly into rich human's parties.

Max the Horse - Only a tad larger than a pony, Max is more of a nerdhorse than a workhorse. You'll often find him trotting around, either trying to make an invention or nudging his special ball while neighing about something dorky. He's not too much of a fan of people riding him, but he won't buck you off unless you harm him. Otherwise you'll just get an annoyed snort. The only creatures he lets ride him are his two mates, Kim and Ondine.

Alix the Bunny - Easly the fastest in the farm, Alix is a cocky and energetic rabbit who's tasked with the job of keeping track of time. She makes sure everybody's present for a meeting or for bedtime. Despite being pint-sized, she packs a mean kick and will school her friends in parkour.

Kim the Monkey - A mischevious and cheeky simian, Kim often sneaks out of the farm for some monkey business. He loves playing pranks on his friends, usually escaping by swinging on special bars and vines created by Farmer Caline. He's also quite athletic, meaning he and Ivan often build up their strength together. He happens to love and cherish not just Max, but also a heron by the name of Ondine, who flies in every now and again.

Mylene the Mouse - A timid and talented little mouse, Mylene often scurries aroud the farm, observing things that her bigger friends may have missed. She loves vegan cheese and the stage, and puts on little shows for the others. It's here where she stops being so shy and stands out from the crowd. Juleka and Adrien care for the mouse, but also love chasing her. She finds it fun, knowing they wouldn't harm her, and even pops in their mouth so that they can carry her when she's tired.

Ivan the Ox - A burly ox with a gentle soul. Ivan's the main bodyguard of the farm and is always practicing his headbutting. He loves to graze and listens to heavy metal music through the record player. Ivan and Mylene are mates, always taking time to snuggle or nudge eachother. He's very protective of his friends as well, especially Nathaniel, as a fellow horned mammal.

Sabrina the Dog - A loyal dog and a faithful assistant, Sabrina's always got a watchful eye on the farm. She and the felines love to chase eachother, and Sabrina often works with Max on keeping track of the farm's resources. She's always there to be Chloe and Lila's right-hand girl, as they are her loving mates. Still, she can't resist when one of her friends throws a stick or tells her to roll over.

Juleka the Tiger - A majestic purple tiger with a love for darkness, goth stuff and meat. She's quite timid, and it takes a lot for her to let out more than a quiet growl. Still she can't help but roar with joy whenever her favorite pig waddles into her arms. Her and Rose are mates and she often protects the little oinker from harm. She also likes to model tiny hats from Marinette, and going for a swim in the water.

Rose the Pig - A perky perfume-loving pig. For Rose, an awesome day is when she gets to roll in mud, smell Farmer Caline's perfume, and dig into a nice bowl of slop. She also loves Juleka and they'll often sing songs together, even if it comes out in the form of squeals and roars. It's very hard to put a frown on her face. She also sneaks out to go to fast food chains, oinking at them to stop eating her species.

Nathaniel the Goat - Nathaniel is a goat with a love for art and those funny books that Farmer Caline leaves out. He's more keen to munch on a tin can and lovingly headbutt Marc than take part in the farm's more wacky adventures. Often the snarker of the group, Nathaniel's always there to clean the land in the farm and bump people to show affection. He's also a huge fan of art, and bleats with joy whenever he sees a painting, inspired to make one himself.

Marc the Rooster - Marc's crows wake everyone up in the morning, but he's not usually a screamer. An anxious and skittish rooster, Marc's always staying close to someone. He's always watching for potential predators or if other birds from Farmer Olga, Farmer Alonzo and Farmer Dahlia's groups come by. He loves to write, and is always clucking and flicking a book. He and Nathaniel have a comic together, which is really just Nathaniel's hoofprints from dipped paint, and Marc pecking little rips into the paper. The others love it and think it's a masterpiece.

Luka the Snake - A relaxed and musical viper, Luka loves to slither around the farm, usually resolving conflicts or sharing his songs with others. He and Juleka see eachother as twins, since they were born in the very same barnstall. He often hisses words of wisdom to his sister and loves to coil around Marinette, Adrien and Kagami, his mates. He, Ivan, Juleka and Rose have a "band", but really it's just the group of them making noise with their mouths and bodies.

Kagami the Komodo Dragon - Though she may be cold-blooded like Luka, they both share a warm heart for their mates and friends. Kagami often crawls around the farm, practicing her fencing skills with a small stick in her mouth. A stoic, she feels as though it is more important to keep calm and carry on. Though she does get a bit competitive and will easily agree to dares put on by Kim and Alix.

Lila the Fox - The other fox in the group, Lila likes to tell tall-tales when she feels insecure about herself. She also has an adorable rivalry with Alya, which to humans, just looks like the two of them hissing and yipping at eachother, while their mates nudge at them to stop. She likes messing with Marinette, since her reactions make the fox giggle. Still, she cares deeply for her friends and especially her two mates.

This took some time to think of, but I'm happy with the result! Stay tuned for Ondine and the other Science Kids, then the Recess Kids and finally the Theatre Kids! Make sure to comment, reblog and like for more! @artzychic27 @msweebyness @nerd-chocolate

[flightfoot]

do you know of lila take down fics that don't bash the children?

Hm, I'm assuming you mean ones that are still focused around Lila being a schoolyard bully? I generally stay away from those nowadays, instead opting to just read the fics where everyone's aged up and she's presented as more of a supervillain (those tend to not bash anyone else), but I do still have some recs for you!

Not Quite Right by @ladynoirfanao3

When Marinette wakes up one morning, she can’t help but feel that something is just a little bit… off. No one else around her seems to feel the same, however, and she is forced to shake off the strange feelings. It proves to be more difficult than she imagined, especially when an akuma attack leaves her feeling helpless as she watches Chat Noir and Ladybug arrive on scene.

In Pursuit Of The Uneatable by @nemaliwrites

Who do you trust when your own reflection becomes a stranger? In a Paris where Lila weaves tales that blind the city, Marinette stands accused, isolated. Her parents' trust is shattered, her friends distant, and in battle, illusions blur the line between ally and enemy. As the shadows and uncertainty threaten to close in, Marinette finds herself turning to the last person who claims to be on her side: a boy in a white mask who calls himself a fox hunter.

Hold Me By Both Hands by @angelofthequeers

“I know he said never to take you back,” Plagg mutters. “But he’d change his tune if he knew.” He looks Adrien straight in the eye and, more serious than Adrien’s ever seen him before, says, “There’s someone you gotta meet. He’s been looking for that book for ages.” How differently might the events of season 2 have gone if Adrien had also known of Master Fu from the start?

---

Accidents Are Also Miracles by @liiinerle

After some turbulent days that end with five people knowing her secret identity as Ladybug, Marinette loses faith in her ability to keep herself hidden. Wracked with doubts and insecurities, she pleads with Alya to take over as Scarabella, and tries to disconnect from heroing altogether. Along the way, she starts to date Kagami. Hard as she tries, though, she can't stop worrying - especially not once Monarch takes a particular, and personal, interest in her. At the same time, Alya tries to adjust to her new role while she works to uncover who Monarch really is, and makes some realisations about her own wishes. Kagami struggles against a controlling and abusive parent, and a girlfriend who seems bent on destroying herself - with or without Monarch's involvement. And in the meantime, Alix keeps popping her head back in with offers to help (because cool though time travel is, she misses hanging out in her own time).

Side Effects Include: Empathy by Word_Devourer

Adrien develops touch-based empathy from using a Miraculous as long as he has. This can only go well.

---

The Investigation by @11jj11

Adrien and Marinette are finally dating-- which is what Alya has always wanted... but yet this sudden transformation in their relationship overnight? Things aren't adding up. They are suddenly so much closer than they ever have been before, Adrien is apparently a flirt, Marinette is no longer a stuttering mess, and not to mention the nicknames that came out of no where. Alya is happy for her friends, but she knows there's something more going on, and the reporter in her is going to get to the bottom of it.

best (fake) smile by Reiaji

After Gabriel arranges for Lila to be his date at Paris Fashion Week, Adrien rights a wrong as best he knows how: with a little bit of sweetness, a little bit of subtlety, and a lot of social media magic.

[ignocubo]

i'm not deep into the miraculous lore (i've been keeping up via spoilers and random wiki dives since season one but have yet to rewatch the full series for cohesive understanding) so can someone explain to me why one of marinette's first acts as guardian is to hand out the miraculous to literally everyone in her class who she's on good terms with? furthermore, why does she proceed to permanently give the miraculous to them?

i understand marinette giving a miraculous to alya and maybe nino. i know the bunny miraculous is an heirloom to alix so it makes sense why she'd have been allowed to keep it. but why did marc get a miraculous? why did sabrina (chloe's lackey, assuming i have the name right) get the dog miraculous? and the others?

i'm not going to argue that marinette isn't friends with all the holders, but is she really close enough to ALL of them to justify her decision to trust them? and why did she assign all the miraculous at once? let's say marinette loses her earrings at some point in season six (because new hawkmoth is NOT playing games) and alya isn't there to lend her the fox miraculous in order to save the day.

because all of the miraculous marinette had at her disposal have been handed off, the only way she'd be able to actively get her miraculous back is to spill her identity to another miraculous holder and then form a plan from there.

to reiterate, what i'm asking is why marinette thought it was a good idea to hand out the miraculous in such a small range. was her logic ever explained or is this one of those things where we're supposed to keep it in the back of our head and see how it goes?

For the Actor AU, how did they feel abt the canon heroes' outfits? If they could, how would they have modified them?

Marinette: Basic as fuck! It looks like I’m wearing footie pajamas! If I were in charge of my costume, I’d give myself a full-on punk look because Ladybug’s are some badass motherfuckers. Oh, and boots that have soles equipped with a shock-absorbing cushion, and a heel that contains a reinforced spring to soften the shock whenever I land. And… Maybe a backpack shaped like ladybug wings to hold my Lucky Charms and anything I need to collect for my plan.

Adrien: Less leather! That stuff shrinks, and a full leather bodysuit is not comfortable. Also, because of the cat holders’ powers, it would be cool if heroes had some sort of medical supplies on them just in case, like stored in a utility belt. And I’m with Mari, those boots sound badass. What else?… Oh, definitely add some more color instead of just basic black.

Alya: Well, the Fox doesn’t seem like a combative hero due to the powers. I see Rena Rouge as a distraction, really, so her outfit wouldn’t be one of those “ready for battle” types. Here’s what I’m thinking, one of those noir-film type outfits. The hat covers my face a bit to give me an air of mystery, and the outfit would look almost casual that no villain would suspect me.

Nino: I mean… Carapace’s look is cool. It’s alright. I’m liking the goggles, but… I’d prefer if he had armor. He’s the fucking turtle hero! He should be ready to take any blow that a villain sends his way!

Rose: Where to begin? Look, you all know me; I love pink more than the next guy, but… Sometimes too much is too much. The Pig Miraculous strikes me as… More farmhand than ballerina. Yee, I know, the heroes come with a tambourine, but come on! While I do love the skirt, I’d trade it in for overalls, either shorts or a skirt. Oh, and add some black in there, too. Daizzi has a black circle around his eye, let him be represented!

Juleka: Studded jacket. That is all.

Luka: Oh, honey, either give me a hood so I can look like a cobra or get the fuck away from me with that outfit.

Myléne: The mouse strikes me as more of the elegant type, I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s the pastel pink mixed with the grey, but I see Polymouse wearing skirts over Pigella. But, that’s just my opinion.

Ivan: Honestly, I’m fine with the canon design for Minotaurox. Yeah, he’s got pockets and padding, I-I like it. And if you show me a better design, I’ll happily take a look at it.

Marc: … I think all of the effort went into making Rooster Bold’s costume. He’s got rooster hair, the little tallons on the back of his boots, and a fucking tailcoat! He and Mayura are the only ones to have tailcoats! I’m not complaining, though. I… I actually like it, but it is a nightmare putting on and taking off that wig.

Nathaniel: Well, I can say I sort of know how some of the girls feel, because that suit was tight as hell! You could see my hip dip! Also, I would’ve liked to have a different hairstyle and maybe some color, because I am the only male redhead around for miles. Oh, and climbing boots becuase, I’m a goat, duh.

Alix: … Do I need to say it? Okay, give me some active wear! I’m traveling through a shit ton of different timelines! I need someone sporty and active when I’m on the go. Also, I’ll need a backpack like Marinette.

Kim: Not hearing any complaints from me! I liked Roi Singe, but being Scarlet Beetle is way cooler!

Max: The glasses can easily come off. What I need is a high collar or a bandana that can cover the lower half of my face in case my glasses become askew or someone is able to place my identity because all I have on my face are some stupid glasses! God, I’m so glad I’m doing this new show now.

Chloé: Oh, I just want wings.

Zoé: Same.

Sabrina: Can mine just not look like my clothes, please?! I’ll take whatever, just not that!

Kagami: I would prefer if I had some form of armor and not a spandex bodysuit. It would need to be lightweight but also durable to allow me to travel faster, of course.

[princess-of-the-corner]

So, I know we're vibing with Erika having the Tiger, but hear me out - Erika gets the Dragon. Artemis (Felix/Kagami kid) gets the Tiger. OR Artemis gets the Fox. (Also, just to clarify, Alix still has the Rabbit. She is the only OG team member who can use a Miraculous. How is that being handled?)

Artemis with the fox actually might be fantastic. He's into photography so he'd love having the visual effects ability!

Also re: the Rabbit:

Alix still has the Rabbit. Because she was still hiding outside of the Timeline when everyone else is effected, it didn't hit her. She keeps the Rabbit for herself in the inbetween years and keeps an eye on things. When the nextgen kids start getting into shenanigans, she keeps an eye on them too.

[mymiraclebox]

since you changed up some of the canon miraculouses, do you think the lineup would change up as well, either switching around or replacing characters?

I think the biggest impact that would come from my changes to the canon Miraculouses would be with Felix and the Peacock Miraculous. Since my Peacock Miraculous does not create new individual lives but rather a physical manifestations of one's mind, Felix would have no need to claim the Peacock Miraculous since it isn't being used to control sentient beings, nor would Felix be a sentibeing, so he couldn't be killed by it being in the wrong hands. (Felix and Adrien's births are still connected to the Peacock Miraculous, with it being used to help the Graham de Vanily sisters with their fertility struggles, but the boys are not creations of the Peacock themselves).

I can also think of some other changes I would make based around this and a few other concept changes, so I think the hero lineup (including the Butterfly and Peacock being rescued) would be like this if canon used my version of the canon Miraculouses:

Ladybug - Marinette (Ladybug) Black Cat - Adrien (Chat Noir) Fox - Alya (Rena Rouge) Turtle - Nino (Carapace) Bee - Chloe (Queen Bee) Butterfly - Felix (Viceroy) Peacock - Luka (Panoptes*) Ox - Ivan (Minotaurox) Tiger - Juleka (Violet Tigress) Rabbit - Alix (Bunnyx) Dragon - Kagami (Ryuko) Cobra - Max (Python) Horse - Zoe (Shire) Goat - Marc (Satyr) Monkey - Kim (Roi Singe) Dog - Mylene (Lassie) Mouse - Sabrina (Muroidea) Rooster - Nathaniel (Red Quill) Pig - Rose (Pigella)

I think the OG five have great match up with their original Miraculouses, whose concepts and powers stayed the same in my AU, so really no need to make any changes here.

First up we have Butterfly!Felix. Even if he has no reason for the Peacock, I still think he’d be down to steal magic from his uncle. I like this match because I think Felix and Nooroo could connect to each other with their similar pasts, and also I think they'd be a good influence on each other. Nooroo being Generosity could help Felix who is more self centered, while Felix could help Nooroo with his low confidence and pride.

Next is Peacock!Luka. Luka would be such a good Peacock. And seeing how canon treats Luka like everyone's therapist, and his whole ability to understand people and express it with music, why shouldn't he get the kwami of Psyche? Honestly I think he'd be a good match up with the canon concept Emotion as well.

Next up is Cobra!Max, I just always thought Max would do so well with these time powers, his ability to analyze, remember, and strategize would benefit with the gathered information and Opportunity he could create from the Cobra Miraculous. I also thought he didn't have a particularly strong connection with the Horse Miraculous, like it's okay, but not as perfect as some other pairings in canon, so with the Cobra opened up this was a no brainer.

Then we have Horse!Zoe, who I think matches this Miraculous a lot better than Max. As Zoe is someone who has never had much freedom and was always hiding herself to fit in I think the Horse would be perfect for her, and I think Kaalki would absolutely adore Zoe as well.

Is the main reason why Goat!Marc and Rooster!Nathaniel are here because I thought this was going to be canon? Maybe. But also with Marc as a writer I just can't see him not being a good holder for Imagination. I love the idea of Orikko and Nathaniel together, I think he'd be such a good confidence booster for Nath. Also I think Marc and Ziggy would get along so well too, both having a very sweet side.

For Dog!Mylene I picked this because I never saw the Mouse as an overly good fit for her, and with the Mouse no longer shrinking holders down I felt it lost the visual match as well with Mylene being one of the shorter classmates. Then with my Dog as Detection rather than Adoration I don't think it fits Sabrina as much anymore. I swapped these two because I felt Detection would fit Mylene well seeing how active she is with trying to do good in the world, and maybe it could help her with her fears if she was more aware of her surroundings. Mouse!Sabrina I think would definitely maximize the possibilities of being able to be in multiple places at once. She’s very smart, and plus I think Mullo would help her stand up for herself.

And for everyone else... well, canon gave them a really good fit, even with the changes I made to my headcanons. Like with the Pig now being Love, it still fits Rose well, etc.

[rozonrozark]

I was wondering

1-Does Marinette invents new powers all by herself or she alredy knew their possibilities somehow (and never mentioned that to kwamis because they seem suprised)

2-Soo about Nadja's plans, will she really sucessfully bring Misterbug and Cheshire to her show? Its been years since i seen that episode but i remember her being akumatised because it didnt go acording to plan. (i guess she showed the picture of them kissing and...?)

3-What are your plans on Lila? Will she stay in background or became someone important to story?

4-Adult Alix seems very very worried about Bread and she talks about how she will pay her back... im assuming something very very wrong happened to Bread or Alix just feels really guilty. (It also confirms she will know her identity in the future. Is it due to her job or at one time she revealed herself or got revealed? oh no)

5-Considering lack of humans in her life, would it be too much of a exaggerate to believe that Mari didnt interact with anyone who isnt a kwami for days at some point?

6-Its more like wanting some sweet karma but when the fuck will Cloe exiled to literally anywhere else? And what about rest of the class? Seeing them comotose in captured au was a balm to my soul. Also, does Mari knows she can teleport Cloe to noth pole and get away with it? Im sure as hell at least half of kwamis would cheer on her.

8-Mari isnt a cat and that probably means she is a bug but what if she is something else? I really can't come with any ideas but thats interesting as heck.

9-If bonding with your kwami in long term means you gain similar traits from them, assuming Bread keeps Plag for much longer does that means she will be much more like cat like? Will she hate showering? Will she knock of stuff from tables? Will she develop heavy preferance to meat? Will she develop claws???

1: For the most part she knew that there were other powers based on the theories of her ancestor. But the powers she came up with that surprised the kwamies were the ones that should have been impossible. Like, the Black Storm Dragon that was a fusion of two kwamies powers.

2: Nadja's plan in this AU will come about but unlike in the Cannon, where they kept pushing for higher ratings, there is no concern for the same thing to get to her.

3: She is the Starscream, that is all I will say.

4: Alix is concerned about Mari because she hates everything that happened to her BEST friend. I will not say if anything else bad will happen to Mari just that she will be getting some positive development. Now as for how she will learn the cat's identity, that is something to be found out.

5: Now what do you count as Marinette having human contact? Becuase Cheshire would have regular human contact thanks to patrols and other such. Marinette though... She does have contact with her parents through texts and phone calls. Let that just say what you want.

6: The various kwami have pointed out what they could do but Marinette has passed on them. After all the miraculous need to be used for the betterment of humanity.

7: I just double checked and you skipped this number. I don't say that to be mean I just found it funny :D

8: I have honstly been thinking about what Mari could have been. Either a Bug or a Fox. Both are creative and she would work well with either.

9: She will become more cat but as for claws and the like? Those kinda changes will only come about due to over-using Catalyst.

[celestiall0tus]

Firstly ❤️ your works, I think my favorites so far are Amaranthine & Miraculous AU. Secondly, which of your miraculouses would fit the canon versions of the characters as your versions of them are more fleshed out?

So, firstly, thank you so much! Truly

Second, while I've done that kinda with All That Remained, that is a canon divergence. So, why not have a little fun with this one? Let's crack into it:

Marinette - Pig of Ignorance

Adrien - Butterfly of Transformation

Alya - Wolf of Intution

Nino - Tiger of Valor

Chloe - Rooster of Animosity

Sabrina - Bee of Devotion

Marc - Dog of Love

Lila - Fox of Deception

Felix - Black Cat of Destruction

Nathaniel - Chameleon of Imagination

Kim - Cow of Body

Max - Owl of Knowledge

Alix - Ladybug of Creation

Rose - Rabbit of Connection

Juleka - Peacock of Beauty

Luka - Swan of Souls

Kagami - Cicada of Reality

Zoe - Horse of Freedom

Ivan - Bat of Fear

Mylene - Dragon of Nature

Nathalie - Turtle of Protection

And if I were to include Gabriel, I would give him the Butterfly still and Adrien would likely get the Raven of Sorrow

Ask meme time! ⭐️

Please tell us about Rabbit Max in Only in the Next World!

rabbit max rabbit max! and thank you for the reminder that Only in the Next World exists LOL - i actually have the second chapter drafted but at some point i just need to...Edit It

i talked about the decision to give max the rabbit a bit in two posts (1, 2), but thank YOU for giving me the opportunity to go into more detail!

so the background on rabbit!max is basically the idea that if adrien were the guardian instead of marinette, he would choose different miraculous holders than she did. the end result might look the same - all the miraculouses going to members of their class - but i think they would all get swapped around. and who better to choose for the miraculous of time than max, someone whose logic adrien has always trusted?

it's interesting, too, when we compare the differences between the rabbit and the horse, the miraculouses of time and space. i've mentioned before that i know a lot of kwami swaps also come with personality swaps, but i don’t think that’s entirely fair - is it really a personality swap, or is it just a focus on different aspects of adrien’s and marinette’s personalities? similarly, is there a different focus on max's personality when it comes to time vs space? i guess the real question is: how different are the miraculouses themselves?

i don't want to use the word 'power' or 'strength', because i do think all the miraculouses have their specific uses. you could argue that the rabbit has a lot more versatility when it comes to its abilities - but you could also argue that the user is a lot more limited in what they can do due to the constraints of not being allowed to mess with time.

personally, i think the rabbit actually fits max a lot more than the horse does - of course, that's ignoring the whole 'alix has a connection to the watch' thing. but again, it really is just a focus on different aspects of his personality.

from what we've seen of max, we know that he's smart and logical, especially when it comes to math. an example of this is from dark cupid, when max is the one who figures out how fast kim needs to be in order to beat chloé to the pont des arts. and like...max never seemed the type to me to be out there on the field taking action? (the opposite of alix, ironically). so i guess it really comes down to: would you give someone a miraculous that already fits their skills, or would you want them to grow and change through their use of it?

if in his civilian life, max is mostly the support guy who figures stuff out for everyone else, that fits with the rabbit! he's the one, then, to calculate all the different probabilities of the future changing - and then going to get mister bug when it's time to take action, just like how bunnyx comes to find ladybug.

one thing that's always interesting to me about miraculous holders, though, is i think you could actually give any miraculous to any character, as long as there's a plausible reason for why - especially from the perspective of whoever is giving the miraculous out. like...turtle!max? fox!max? LADYBUG!max? absolutely makes sense to me!

[immaturityofthomasastruc]

Hey! I’m the person with the miraculous re-write.

To answer your question:no,the secondary heroes will not get secondary powers.

The reason why I gave them main powers was mostly because of the unnecessary blending of the turtle,fox,and bee miraculous with the zodiac ones and wanted to make them a bit less unimportant.also idk how I would come up with 12 unique and diferente powers for all of them lol.

Though I am thinking of giving them powers slightly weaker than the main six that fall into the diferente factions of them.

I.e. giving the bunny(and therefore alix) the power of ice while the turtle(nino) can already do that as part of his water powers.though that still probably isn’t happening.

Also I slightly updated the bee.

Instead of a tiny hoard of bees there is now one big bee(around 1-2 ft tall) that stays with the holder even while de transformed(kinda like the ladybugs bag) of which Chloe affectionately named Beatrix and spoils rotten lol.

I’m thinking of using Beatrix as a way to highlight Chloe’s humanity pre redemption arc and show how she really is just a fourteen year old girl by exemplifying that she treats this creature eternally tied to this mystical artifact similar to how a seven year old would treat their very first puppy.

I also want Beatrix to side with her during miracle queen because even though Chloe isn’t in the right she still hates ladybug for her blatant nepotism against Chloe(for context by the halfway point of the season Chloe got striped of the bee by Mari and Zoe(who is present for the entire series since season one) got the miraculous though in this canon the train incident never really happened and ladybug just found out who chloe was and striped her of her miraculous because she already didn’t like queen bee and this was basically just the last straw)

So yeah

So the Bee allows Chloe to summon a partner like a Sentimonster?

What does Pollen think of Beatrix?

[trashyangelic]

Request Prompt: Lila Salt & Alya Salt + Marinette Squad

Adrien is not part of this he is at Milan for his photoshoot. Adrien found out he is gay so he is dating Luka Couffaine and his father approved it since they both found out that he is Jagged Stone's son.

While Marinette Squad is here to stay they are Kagami, Luka, Felix, Chloe, Nino, Alix, Nathaniel, Marc, Juleka, Rose, Aurore, and Mireille. The pairings to this is Chloe/Kagami, Luka/Adrien, and Felix/Marinette.

Now onto Lila and Alya, I just had a thought while reading a one-shot on wattpad earlier. Alya claims that Marinette is her best friend but what if she isn't as Alya is using Marinette's kindness for free stuff like usual and not getting answers to Marinette to take care of siblings. As Alya asked Marinette to make her and Lila a whole new wardrobe but Marinette refused to do that unless she is paying them.

Before Alya decided to use Marinette to get free stuff. Marinette told her parents everything that happen in the school with Alya and Lila tormenting her for free stuff but not paying it either so Sabine and Tom decided to banned Alya Cesaire and Lila Rossi from their bakery and also making sure that Alya cannot enter their daughter's room anymore. But the parents of Lila and Alya were allowed to enter the bakery for treats as they did pay their own money unlike Alya and Lila.

While the Marinette Squad did their thing to expose Lila by talking to celebrities that Lila lied about in the Ladyblog blog just for fame and popularity.

Just before Adrien left he gave his miraculous to his cousin to use it incase if there is an akuma going to interfer. So right now in the French Miraculous Superhero Team they are Marinette has her Ladybug Miraculous; Felix has the Black Cat Miraculous; Alix has the Rabbit Miraculous; Juleka has the Tiger Miraculous; Kagami has the Dragon Miraculous; Rose has the Pig Miraculous; Chloe has the Bee Miraculous; Aurore has the Fox Miraculous while Mireille, Nathaniel, Nino, and Marc decided to cover them when they aren't in school or anywhere in sight.

[eu-ry-dice]

I will never forgive the MLB creators for not making Nath the fox holder. Alya's great and all but SERIOUSLY???

Anyway have my take on Nath's costume, expect to see more designs like this maybe, the rest of this post is just random stuff for this AU

• He's a little taller and looks a bit older when he's in his suit (part of a HC of mine about all the Miraculous holders looking a year or two older when powered up) but still one of the shortest miraculous holders in the team.

• His hair is a lot less vibrant and a bit longer. He also moves his fringe so he can actually see properly

• His eyes are the same colour, but his sclera is black. When he uses his Mirage/Illusion (not sure which it'd be tbh), his eyes turn a gold-ish, brown-ish colour like an actual fox.

• He came up with his name on the spot. For the first few weeks of having his Miraculous, he stayed in the shadows but had to step in when LB and CN were getting their asses handed to them and got caught by the press after the fight was over and they asked his name. He caught a glimpse of a perfume advert and blurted out 'Vixen' before he could think of anything else.

• He started drawing Ladybug and Chat Noir after one of the akumas and was about to draw their masks when he realised who they were and promptly started losing his shit. He was incredibly relieved when he found out that Luka also knew, later down the line.

• Since he knows LB and CN's identities, he covers for them when they need to go transform or get away. Adrien just thinks he's a really nice guy, Marinette started to find it suspicious after the fourth time and now thinks he's plotting something.

• Nath changed his costume about four times canonically. He outright refused to wear the latex suit, and settled on his current costume the day before he was revealed to the public.

• Alix is, like, 75% sure he's Vixen but she ain't no snitch and covers for him when he needs it.

[gee-arid]

I'm kinda curious, do you have an reason to give the miraculous for each characters? Like why turtle to Ivan?

I do! It links back to my au though- So congrats! More lore dump!

Because ive given Nathaniel and Marc the ladybug and cat miraculous, they get to distribute the other miraculous. They share responsibility for this and choose based on their own experiences with their friends/classmates.

The reason they share responsibility is different to canon because they learn quickly the importance of trust and teamwork (will be explained soon).

The moment the box was passed over to Ailes Rouges and Veilleuse, they discussed it together, without names and shared the miraculous between the two of them to look after until the time came for the appropriate hero.

(explainations below cut, lots of words, no art in this one lol)

Creation Box:

Butterfly + Peacock: Same as canon (right now anyway, considering giving Adrien the Peacock, something something angst), following same beginning point anyway.

Bee: Juleka - Nathaniels choice. The first choice for Juleka was actually the tiger (explained further down). But shes chosen as the bee officially. I know this girls got pent up rage shes too scared to show or let out without a mask. The bee will be good for her :)

Fox: Marinette - Marcs choice (His first choice would be Nath if its after theyve met and become friends outside their alter egos, but is either declined or unable to be found (for obvious reasons); though Nath would likely choose the same, torn between her and Alix). If youre looking for creativity, someone with a strong enough imagination to create and spin stories strong enough to convince another person its real? Marinettes perfect for the job. Especially creating illusions of people.

Turtle: Ivan - Nathaniels choice, if youre looking for defence, someone strong to help protect people, Ivans your guy. Hes seen it first hand, particularly with Mylene, but after years of being in the same class as him, hes experienced his protection too.

Zodiac Box:

Rooster: Markov - Nathaniels choice. This one was a bit of a gamble. Markov cant see kwamis, but if he can be akumatised, it stands to reason that he can be a hero. Despite being a robot, he still only gets one use of the roosters power, as hes not human the magic has to draw from his power and since hes so small, he only has a small bank to draw from. Despite this, being small gives him more leeway into where he can go, as my roosters power is rejuvination, its important that they can get around to other heroes easily.

Goat: Alix - Nathaniels choice. The goat in my au is all about movement, and who better for than than Alix. Not to mention, theyve been friends for years, Nathaniel would trust them with his life.

Rat: Nino - Nathaniels choice. If youre looking for someone to multitask, Ninos got experience. Particularly with herding people, experienced with his brother, and occasionally his own friends. Nathaniel used to be close with Nino in previous years but drifted apart before canon present. He still believes Nino is responsible and trustworthy enough for the job.

Ox: Luka - Marcs choice. (Nathaniel would choose the same). Who else could be calm enough not to flinch at the sight of oncoming danger. Hes the older sibling of Juleka (not twin), and often cool and laidback. While he may not be super close to either hero, he knows their identity, a magical suit doesnt change a persons heart song. Luka is the perfect candidate for the Ox, he trusts the magic enough to know it wont fail him. Its just a hunch but dont you think hes already experienced with this worlds magic?

Horse: Sabrina - Nathaniels reluctant pick. There is no other person Nath has seen who is so co-ordinated. Someone who knows exactly what is going on and when and where. Despite her dubious alegions in the classroom, she can be trusted to keep a plan on track. Also shes a horse-girl, dont @ me.

Dragon: Aroure/Mirelle - Marcs pick. A dragon is experienced in the elements, and who else is more experienced than Aroure and Mirelle. They both are aware and skilled in the weather area, this experience leads to incredible skill with the dragons power. They are rarely apart these days but are very busy with their jobs, so they both become the Dragon, they swap out with eachother when one or another is busy, and it works.

Snake: Max- Nathaniels choice. Max is a person who thinks in numbers. Hes able to keep an exact time line in his mind, able to run numbers and percentages on the spot. Max is simply the most efficient Snake. His ability to think logically lends to his skill, he can effectively keep track of whats happened and whats the best course of action. Nathaniel trusts his judgement and his silence, Max is smart enough to understand the concequences and risks of an alterego.

Pig: Kim - Nathaniels hesitant choice. Now honestly, Kims the obvious pick for a superhero, hes like.. classic superhero build and attitude. However, Nathaniel hasnt always had a particularly friendly attitude with him. So despite the present situation he will always be slightly on edge with Kim. Either way, hes a straight forward kind of guy, perfect for the hunt of the pig. Nathaniel can only hope he doesnt get too much to handle, maybe he'll see Kim in a different light after. Or maybe not.

Dog: Rose- Marcs pick (Nathaniel would choose the same). The dog is all about loyalty, friendship, lowering someones guard. Who else would be perfect for the job than Rose? She is able to see the good in a person no matter what, she can keep a persons attention long enough for a job to be done, if getting a job done through affection is not an option.

Monkey: Zoe.. or Adrien - Marcs choice, Zoe, once shes transfered from abroad, becomes a quick friend of Marcs. They both have bright senses of style and well like-calls-to-like. Shes pretty laidback and adaptable, she can work on her feet which works well for the monkey. Nathaniels choice, Adrien, is also fairly new to the social scene but Nathaniels hung out with him enough by proxy that he can get a grip on his personality. He, like Zoe, is pretty adaptable, maybe less laidback from what hes seen but always willing to try something. He doesnt give up, thats important for a monkey too. Also i dont want to leave Adrien out :(.

Rabbit: Alya - Marcs hesitant choice. Shes been seen around akuma attacks before, always with her phone out and recording. Despite this shes always able to help a citizen run away or hide. Shes also friends with Marinette and from what Marcs heard, shes fairly reliable. Theyre not close to eachother for Marc to be certain, but shes around attacks enough to be reliable, shes consistently helpful, and is fairly knowledgable in akuma related activities; she'll work.

Tiger: Kagami - Marcs choice. The tigers original holder was Juleka (chosen by Nathaniel). Who else would be best for going unnoticed than the invisible girl. However after using it once, she declined to use it again. Its not what she wants. Nathaniel understood, he could see it wasnt good for her. So, Marc chose Kagami next. Kagamis sneaky, able to sneak up on someone and not hesitate. If Juleka was like a rouge, Kagami is more like an assassin.

[nuvolisa]

Miraville au

This is a seriously small post about the au I’m currently in the process of writing :D

The core basis of it, as explained in Branches of a timeline, is that this is a universe where the miraculi and magic have never existed. So all effects of them are not present in this au.

Disclaimer: it's long, it's a mess. Hope you will enjoy it because I'm slowly descending into MADNESS

Marinette Dupain-Cheng

Marinette is the one who will be affected by the last echoes of the previous “corrupted” universe, as she was the last person who was so close to the cause. She is no longer Ladybug, which means that she has a lot more time to pursue the things she loves, which are baking and drawing. She lives in a smaller town, Miraville, in the French countryside, where this whole story is set. She has a little brother (Theodore, 8 y.o.) and lives with her parents who work respectively in a boring office job (Tom, who after failing to open a bakery became basically an engineer out of spite for his father) and in a local coffee shop (Sabine, who met with Tom when working for his father's boulangerie). They have a dog, named Tikki, she's a small wire hair fox terrier. Alya has been one of her best friends throughout elementary school but left for Paris when they started middle school, as of now her best friend is Alix. She is part of the drama club, usually volunteering as a costume maker.

Adrien Grassette

Adrien is... a bit wilder. Due to the fact that miraculous powers are non-existent in this universe, he has been conceived through IVF, but due to many failed attempts and the time for visits, consultation, testing, and everything, Adrien is actually born later than Marinette, and is actually Theo's age, so 8 y.o. In this story, the long and tiring process of Emily trying to conceive and the almost inhumanly controlling way she tries to raise her son make Gabriel, with the help of Nathalie, realize how much he despises the woman and he divorces her, taking full custody of their child. Gabriel then sells his firm and leaves behind his public life to raise his son in Miraville.

Nino Lahiffe

Nino is Marinette's childhood best friend, alongside Kim, since their mothers were extremely close when they were kids due to them being foreigners. Stereotypically normal boy, he's passionate about electronic music, basketball, and football, and occasionally likes to skate with Alix. He's up to date with the most recent anime and manga, and is an avid Nintendo fan. He had a crush on Marinette for a little more than a year in middle school, but never got around to confess. He's in the school football club with Kim.

Alix Kubdel

Marinette's bestfriend. She has let her hair grow longer because she planned on dying it all baby blue, but never got around to it because she loves her pink hair. Hyperactive, she's dyslexic, and is terrible in school, apart from History and Art. Her father is a history teacher in her same high school and her brother is studying to become a researcher on ancient languages. Her mother died when she was seven, and she was a very talented harp player. Alix had a crush on Kim for a long time, which was obvious to anyone, but she distanced herself from him the moment he got into a relationship. She frequently hangs out at a nearby abandoned factory with her other friends. She's really passionate about time traveling and sci-fi and has watched Interstellar and Back to the Future at least a thousand times.

Lila Rougier

Lila is in this story, not as cartoonishly evil as in the canon. She has moved to the town halfway through elementary school and has been close friends with everyone ever since. She is not as much of a compulsive liar, although she definitely lies occasionally to get what she wants. Ever since she started getting asked out a lot, she became obsessed with becoming popular. She's kind of a pick-me girl, however, she is, at least at the start, not targeting Marinette, who she considers a good friend. She's part of the journalism club of their school.

Kim Le Chien

Kim is his stereotypical self. Jock, buff, however he's less idiotic than in canon, since Marinette, who sees him like a brother, has always metaphorically rapped him on the knuckles to teach him respect and empathy. He has a repressed crush on Alix that he won't ever admit, especially since he's in a relationship now. He was raised by a single mother and gets tutored by Marinette frequently on maths so as not to disappoint her. Despite her help, however, he's dumb as a rock and very protective towards his friends, which almost always sometimes results in him getting in real trouble.

Sabrina Raincomprix

She's very similar, personality-wise, to her canon character. She's very shy and kind, usually letting people put their feet on her head. She's been friends with everyone forever, and everyone is worried for her since she always puts herself on the line for everyone. Her mother is a nurse and her father is the chief of police, making her a well-known member of the community. She's a devout Christian and is involved in the local church charity. Kids not in their friend group frequently make fun of and bully her, but usually, Lila, Alix, and Marinette help her deal with them.

Luka Couffaine

He's not from Miraville, but from another town nearby, where his mother has a musical instrument shop. He and his sister go to the same school (Joan d'Arc lyceé) as the others, but they're a year older than them. He's in a small rock boy band (called the Miracles) and sometimes hangs out at the abandoned factory. His sister is in a relationship with Rose, who lives in Paris and is actually stuck in the hospital due to her condition, and he occasionally calls them his "Marceline and Princess Bubblegum". He knows that he's Jagged Stone's son, but he never got to meet him or to ask him.

Chloe Bourgeoise

She's a very interesting character. She's not as needlessly bratty as canon, but she has her reasons to be a pain in the ass. Her parents are divorced and they're too busy fighting to discipline her and her half-sister. Audrey's brand failed the moment the Gabriel brand stopped helping it, and André is always moving around to shoot his (very poorly written and executed) movies. She and Zoé love each other deep down, but they fight a lot. Due to one of their fights, which a teacher mistook for bullying, her parents decided to send her away from Paris to live for a while with her rich grandma, her father's mother, who is incredibly disappointed (to say the least) of her son's antics and how Chloe was raised. She's not a spoiled brat, but she definitely has a problem controlling her anger. Might fight with her friends for anything, but would shoot anyone who dared hurt them.

Felix Sphynx

I couldn't stop myself from actually writing about my boi. He is a very stoic individual: he's described as basically emotionless by all his close friends. He never laughs at their jokes or gets angry about anything, and he's been like this ever since his mother died. His mother (Marianne Lavigne) was almost his carbon copy, being very cold and composed, only ever opening up to his father, (Cesar is actually very lively and bright) who is unable to understand how to help him break out of his shell. His mother was a French and Italian literature teacher and his father is an ophthalmologist. He went to the same kindergarten as Marinette and the others but went to a private school throughout elementary and middle school to be closer to his mother, who was diagnosed with a terminal illness and needed frequent hospitalization. He decided to return to public school since all his friends would attend Joan d'Arc lyceé. He's smart and brilliant, on the school chess team, and always aces his classes. He's very fond of cats: he has a beautiful ragdoll cat named Seraphine and has recently adopted a young black stray that would always follow him home, and called him Plagg as Claude suggested.

Allan Rey

Has been friends with Felix since elementary school. He's the son of the mayor of Miraville, and is an avid football fan, being in the school team alongside Kim and Nino. He's very loyal and extremely charming. He's Allegra's boyfriend since last year, and has heart eyes every time he's around her. His best friend is Claude.

Claude Daniel

Allan's best friend. The oldest of three brothers, he's very energetic and lively. He's passionate about magic tricks and would like to become an illusionist as an adult, but he knows that he will likely have to inherit the family's farm. He loves gossiping with Allegra, who shares his passion for sticking his nose in other people's business. He has a small crush on Allan that he will never confess so as to not ruin their friendship. He is part of the school drama club.

Allegra Gardinier

She's Allan and Felix's middle school classmate. She comes from a family of lawyers and has lived with her father ever since they divorced. She's an equestrian, is part of the school band as a flute player, and lives in an old family villa on the richest side of town.

The rest of the sentikids never existed in this world, and most of the other characters not mentioned here currently live in Paris. Honestly, this is self-indulgent as FUCK and at the same time the best way to try and make sense of all the shit that happened in canon in a world where magic doesn't exist. Maybe I'll get around to explaining a lot better every character, or perhaps I'll just write it who knows. Let me know what you think!

EDIT: I did not know that canonically, Kim has 2 dads, which is amazing, so I'll implement that in there.
