#Amelie x Nathalie

[rayraygo1267]

I bring another amenath comic from @hurryglow

EEEK I LOVE IT! (This is making me want to write some Amenath Headcanons and fics ngl)

[beezonia]

That red dress

Day 10 of @mlbfemslashfebruary

[Amenath let’s goo!! I love them sm! Also this is suggestive btw]

No matter the style, no matter the length. Amelie always has to admit Nathalie looks stunning in dresses.

Wether it was a sweetheart neckline or no straps, her wife looks absolutely gorgeous each time.

Especially when she wore red. God Amelie loved it when she wore red, it was her colour it was beautiful on her. Tonight was no different.

A Strapless dress which gave Amelie a clear view of her wife’s cleavage, the skirt landed just below her ankles, the fabric as red as blood.

The dress showed of all her perfect curves and the blonde was practically drooling at the woman before her.

“Is it that bad?”

Amelie instantly shoots up, eyes wide as if to say sorry.

“No, you look absolutely stunning love! I want you to keep it on!”

The blonde clings to Nathalie’s arm, she’s as red as a tomato now. Amelie leans into her side, speaking right into her ear.

“Besides, I’ll get to rip it off you later on tonight, isn’t that a great reason to keep it on~”

Oh how she revels in watching her wife blush, and in this position Amelie gets to see it creep down her towards her breasts, which is a wonderful sight to see always.

“Fine, I’ll keep it on.”

She’s smirking slightly now and Amelie always loves watching her loose her composure.

“Now it’s my turn! You’ll love the dress I’ve picked out for tonight!”

Nathalie let’s put a laugh, tugging the blonde by the waist to pull her in for a kiss.

“Oh I’m sure I will love.”

natalie x amelie over gabriel's grave

Well that's awfully macabre. I'm in

Ah, nothing like a picnic date with some slight vandalism. Choice, Nathalie, choice 👌

[laylalucie]

A Pretty and happy family

[chaos-has-theories]

If Adrien had a penny for every time one of his family members was hiding a serious Miraculous-related illness, injury or death from him,

If Adrien had a penny for every time one of his parents was hiding a serious Miraculous-related illness or injury from him, he'd have three pennies.

Which is honestly too many pennies. Adrien, sweetie, I am so sorry.

[xhanisai]

Top 5 couples... In ML! (having more than one pairing for one character is very much accepted)

HEHEHEH LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to cheat a little and add six AND YOU WILL SEE WHY.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1 - Mariblanc (Marinette and Chat Blanc)

Come on. It's me. Haunting the narrative? Check. Caused the end of the world? Check. Shows the extremes one would go for the other? FUCKING CHECK. Genuinely, as soon as episode Chat Blanc aired I practically ascended because this is everything I have ever wanted and uGHhHh I can never properly convey cohesively how much I love, love, LOVE THEM.

THEIR LOVE DESTROYED THE WORLD.

THEIR LOVE DOOMED THEM ALL ONCE UPON A TIME.

AND YET THEY STILL CAN'T HELP BUT CONTINUE TO LOVE EACH OTHER AAAAAA!!!!

2 - Lovesquare (Marinette and Adrien in every form)

This is the reason why I had to extend the list to six instead of five LMAOOO!! I love every single side of lovesquare so FUCKING much. And all the sides would have taken up the spots so I had to compress them all here. Every side brings something fresh, something exciting and I can never get bored. I love you adrinette. I love you ladynoir. I love you marichat. I love you ladrien. I love you misternoire. I love you assmouse/snakemouse. I LOVE IT ALL!!!!!

They will stay rotating in my brain forever at 1000000 kilometres per hour for the rest of my life and I feel honoured.

3 - Chlolila (Chloe and Lila)

EVIL GIRLS! EVIL GIRLS!!! I LOVE EVIL GIRLS!!!! I hate bully x victim ships...but bully x bully?? YES PLEASE.

I want them to make each other WORSE. I want them to tango on the rooftops as they plot the downfall of the world whilst finding ways to get rid of each other. I don't want them to have any redemption arcs LET GIRLS BE EVIL.

They are ML's toxic yuri AND THEY DESERVE MORE RECOGNITION.

4 - Eminath (Emilie and Nathalie)

Nathalie was willing to terrorise Paris and ladynoir in order to bring Emilie back to life AND THAT IS PEAK ROMANCE TO ME. And then she stopped when she realised how mistreated Adrien was and saw the video that Emilie made??!??

THEY ARE MARRIED IN ANOTHER TIMELINE WITH A HAPPY ADRIEN WITH TWO LOVING MOTHERS IDFC.

5 - DJWifi (Alya and Nino)

I really, really REALLy love their dynamic! I love how confident and fiery Alya is and how chill and silly Nino is. I love that even these two subvert gender roles and we have him often jumping to conclusions and spilling secrets whilst she's there to kiss his worries away and ensure that she's there by his side 💓

They are actually really wholesome and I wish we got more pre-relationship goodness between them both before they got together because that's my favourite part when it comes to romance~!!!

6 - Plikki/Cheesecake (Plagg and Tikki)

I love them. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. JUST WEE LITTLE GODS until they show their fucking amazing cryptic love craftien true forms!!!! He calls her sugarcube and she calls him stinkysock I LOVE THEM.

Honourable mentions - Juleka and Rose, Gabriel and Emilie, Amelie and Nathalie, onesided Lila being obsessed with Marinette, onesided Felix crushing on Marinette, Alya and Marinette/Nino and Adrien (to an extent because I don't like any ships that break up the lovesquare), Gabriel and Harry Clown, Tom and Sabine, Gabriel and Nathalie and probably more but I can't remember LOL.

[bellzsad]

my gabenath journey is one that’s funky, but similar and common to a lot of other miraculous viewers.

i started out shipping it, purely because there was no one else i could’ve shipped gabriel or nathalie with. sure, there was gorilla for nathalie (i guess?) but this did not make sense so i shut it down immediately. anyway, as the seasons went by, i saw it as “cute” because of the little moments they had. but then, as soon as season four hit, i realized how fucking toxic this relationship was.

and we see this developed even more in season five especially. nathalie confronts gabriel, but he just shrugs it off. he cares more about emilie than her, and while nathalie is literally dying, gabriel is just standing in his basement trying to steal two pieces of jewelry. and he barely showed any remorse for it, too. he was just like “oh, you’re dying? that’s too bad, i’m sorry i let you do this, but oh well. anyways see you later, gotta go terrorize the city. brb” like HELLO?!

it’s so toxic. i hate this ship now, like just give me amelie x nathalie at this point because we have two boss women dangling in front of our faces. or if emilie is confirmed to have come back, emilie x nathalie would be even better. that’s so badass omfg.

but in conclusions, gabenath can go rot in hell, but it’s all gabriel’s fault. queen nathalie slays

How I Would Reorganize The Agreste Plotline If Miraculous Ladybug Were For An Older Audience

NOTE: Contains Season 5 Spoilers, Leak References, and Discussion of Mature Topics

I say reorganize instead of rewrite since I’m working with canon and embellish only on a few plot points that haven’t fully been touched upon yet. If you want to see how I reorganize the agreste plot for the show as is check out this post.

Season 1

Show in universe that everyone is aware of Emilie’s disappearance. In Origins, passing news blurb that it has been X amount of days and there are no leads into the Agreste case. This in turn, affects how his peers at school treat him, with some fawning over him like we see in the show, and the more sensitive ones reluctant to approach him due to his situation.

Ladybug is Adrien’s first ever crush. Show instead of implying on twitter that he takes romance hints from anime.

Plagg is aware of Adrien’s situation with wanting more independence and about mom’s disappearance. While he displays a lazy, go lucky attitude, he worries over Adrien. He encourages him to find himself as Chat Noir.

Show that even before Gabriel starts using the butterfly miraculous to get his wife back, he has unhealthy coping mechanisms. In the first few weeks after Emilie falls into a coma, he turns to drinking. Nathalie frequently joins him on his binges since she harbors guilt about Emilie’s illness. One night, they both get drunk and share a heated kiss.

Due to the kiss, and the stress of losing Emilie, there is a heavy tension between them. One day Nathalie snaps.

“What else could we have done? Emilie is gone! There’s no way we can bring her back! And if there was a possibly that we could, she’d hate us for it! Especially if she found out---I’m sorry I should have never brought that up. I’ll be on my way sir.”

Show that both Nathalie and The Gorilla care about Adrien despite their cold exteriors. With the next couple of seasons, he begins to open up to them, and they in turn.

Have Hawkmoth’s reveal that he is Gabriel take place at end of season 1 instead of beginning of season 2 in ML proper 

Flashback 1: It is 2014 and Adrien is six years old. He asks his mother why he can’t go out and play with other kids and go to school like his cousin Felix and Chloe. Emile smiles, cradles his face, and tells him that he can’t because he is a very special boy.

Season 2

Introduce Kagami and Adrien’s crush on her. Tease Ms. Tusguri and Gabriel Agreste’s connection earlier than presented in ML Proper with a business call.

The in universe news about Emilie’s disappearance dies down due to a lack of leads.

Show how Adrien is still naive when it comes to interacting with the world, and why he may not pick up on the fact that Marinette has a crush on him due to the fact that everyone fawns over him.

Show one of Master Fu’s tutoring sessions with Adrien post Syren. Master Fu plants a seed of doubt in Adrien’s head that all is well with his family.

Highlight early on that while Gabriel does love his son, he loves the idea of Adrien the perfect, obedient child more than Adrien the trying adolescent. Make it clear that Adrien is Emilie’s child and that Gabriel found it difficult to connect to Adrien even before Emilie’s disappearance.

Start of Gabriel’s slippery slope into madness due to the constant losses.

Nathalie’s infatuation with Gabriel is teased early on in season 2, then confirmed with the events of Style Queen. She becomes more bold with her feelings. At the end of season 2, they almost kiss but Gabriel hesitates.

The events of Heroes Day play out like in ML proper . However, have Gabriel explicitly mention that it was the peacock miraculous that made Emilie ill. 

Flashback 2: Takes place post Emilie’s “disappearance” but prior to season 1. Amelie and Felix visit. Amelie asks Gabriel for the Graham de Vanilly ring. Adrien and Felix interact. Felix has a mean streak. He asks how Adrien can deal “with such insufferable people.”

Season 3

Adrien and Kagami get together earlier. As a result their break up plays out a season earlier.

Nathalie takes up her role as Mayura. Her health worsens. Gabriel worries, and their relationship deepens to the point where they begin an affair. Gabriel is shown to feel guilty at first, but as he becomes more hellbent on being Hawkmoth, that guilt subsides.

Introduce sentimonsters like in ML proper. Place a hint that Adrien could be one.

Adrien mentions to Plagg that his mother used to have dizzy spells/ coughing fits like Nathalie. Plagg asks what disease she had. Adrien doesn’t know. He then asks Gabriel what type of illness Emilie had. Gabriel tells Adrien to mind his own business.

People drop hints that Marinette likes Adrien. Show that Adrien is in denial of his own feelings for her because of his feelings for Ladybug.

Show how Adrien gets stressed because of his modeling job. He is exposed to the underbelly of the fashion industry where his modeling peers have eating disorders, have drug/alcohol addictions, or are sexually preyed upon or exploited by their managers. Adrien wants out. He pleads with his father to stop modeling but is denied.

Introduce Felix like in ML proper. Show that Felix is knowledgeable about the miraculouses. Have him eye Gabriel’s brooch before leaving.

Have Chat Blanc and Ephemeral take place in this season. Keep plot and outcomes the same.

Gabriel starts to act more like Hawkmoth in real life and less like himself.

Flashback 3: Takes place when Gabriel, Emilie, and Nathalie are twenty years old. In the summer of 2000, they travel the world, in search of adventures and the miraculouses. The three of them have a close but complicated relationship due to the fact that Gabriel and Emilie are dating, Nathalie has feelings for him, and that she is friends with them both. This tension accumulates one night where they engage in a menage a tois. It is an event they vow to never speak of again. At the end of the summer, they have not found any miraculouses. Gabriel reaffirms his feelings for Emilie and rejects Nathalie completely.

Season 4

Love Square reversal. Adrien falls for Marinette. Slowly, they become closer and start dating. Gabriel finds out about Adrien’s feelings for Marinette. He forbids them to date, but they defy him. Gabriel tries to push Kagami onto Adrien.

Keep Felix’s discovery of Emlie’s body in Gabriel Agreste and trade with Gabriel at end of season 4 the same as ML proper.

Have Gabriel’s moral horizon event take place here along with Evolution in ML season 5 proper.

Nathalie and Gabriel’s relationship begins to crumble as he dives headfirst into madness and when she begins to question his decisions. The breaking point is when he does not leave the USB drive in the past like in ML Evolution. Nathalie declares that she will no longer help him, and states that she did everything for him because she loved him.

Adrien starts to look into his mother’s disappearance with Plagg and Ladybug’s encouragement. He discovers that his mother knew about the miraculouses.

The hints that Adrien could be a sentimonster intensify.

At the end of the season the alias rings are introduced.

Gabriel allows Adrien to stop modeling.

Flashback 4: Flashback of Gabriel and Emilie falling in love. Amelie and Colton’s rocky marriage. Same as the leaks. In 2006, Nathalie and Gabriel meet again. He says that he wants to try to find the miraculouses again, in particular the peacock miraculous. When Nathalie asks why, Gabriel answers “because it can create life”.

Season 5 

The cataclysm happens. Gabriel’s subsequent illness is explicitly shown. He loses weight due a loss of appetite and vomiting. His skin becomes pale and gangrened sores on his arm weeps black pus. By the end of the season, he has to rely on IV fluids to keep him alive.

Nathalie actively goes against Gabriel and helps Adrien in any way she can.

Felix is Argos. Events of Emotion take place. It is made clear that he is a sentimonster. It is only hinted that Kagami is one too. In addition, he leads Adrien to Emilie’s body.

Adrien find out his father is Hawkmoth,that his mother is dead, then the final truth that he himself is not human. He wrestles with the guilt of catacylsming his father. However, he does not fall into despair as predicted in Chat Blanc and Ephemeral.

Adrien makes his stand against Gabriel. Gabriel is forced to confront the fact that Adrien is no longer his perfect child.

The final battle and the reveal happens. During the final battle, Adrien pleads with his father to see reason. Gabriel is too far gone and tries to kill Adrien. Gabriel uses the miraculouses to make his wish. As mentioned in the leaks, Nathalie is sacrificed. Gabriel is shocked. This forces him to come to terms that due to his selfishness, he has lost the two most important women in his life. He makes one final wish: to sacrifice himself to bring back balance. He dies. Emilie is still dead, but Nathalie lives.

Adrien obtains his amok. Completely orphaned, he faces an uncertain future.

Flashback 5: It is 2007, Emilie has gone through three years of fertility treatments that have brought nothing but disappointment. Clinging onto her last hope, she, Gabriel, and Nathalie travel to Tibet to find the miraculouses one last time. They find the peacock and butterfly miraculous and find out that in order to create a fully functional human sentimonster, a piece of the wearer’s DNA must be bound to the amok. Emilie allows Amelie to test out the peacock miraculous first with Colt. Their son, Felix, is born healthy. Emilie binds a piece of her hair to a photograph of herself as a baby for the amok, and creates the sentibryo that will become Adrien. She magically implants it in herself to carry out a natural pregnancy. However not long after, she begins to miscarry. Desperate, she dons the peacock miraculous. The power she uses saves the pregnancy, but causes the miraculous to become damaged. Adrien is born in 2008. As the years pass, Emilie grows ill and falls into a coma.

Bad Publicity AU: (Emilie x Nathalie x Amelie) & Adrien & Felix in "The Talk"

Adrien and Felix should have known something was up when their mothers activated the mansion lock-down protocol after asking them to join them in the sitting room.

Apparently, the parents agreed that they were missing a very vital part of their education. The vitality of that was still in question, but it was very educational...

The puppet visual aides were a bit much though.

While they respect their choices, and will provide should... indiscretions... happen. Contraceptives are provided through an automated app that Natalie has set up on your phones, please refrain from over indulging, and remain the gentlemen you were raised to be... despite your father's interference.

Siren's Song Acknowledgements

Making this to make it easier to display those involved in the making of Siren's Song and where the ideas came from. Please note that if I miss anyone, please inform me through DMs. I know there were a lot of people that suggested Character/Kwami pairings as well as ships. So, just notify by DM what you suggested that's making it into the final product and I'll add you on here. Now, let's get into this:

Specific mentions:

@kittysuicoffee for the Gabine ship

@mysteriouslymysticalgiver for the ideas for Colt, Chloe, Nathaniel, Aurore, and Felix and the inspiration for Alya's hero outfit

@doritos-green I know you suggested a lot (I don't remember a lot of them) but I do believe you suggested dragon!Zoe and Wyvern as her name.

and while not a direct idea, I want to give a shoutout to @marichated with the idea of Adrien being senti and with Marinette being Gabriel's bio baby and Adrien is not, hence the root cause of Adrien's problems.

@nocturnal-notes for Tiger!Socqueline's name Tiger Lily

Miraculous Ladybug x Hell's Belles Series Part 1: Gabriel

[A/N: Once again, another ridiculous Hell's Belles Crossover idea. I think at this point, it's a given. Comment if you find this funny or just plain weird.]

!Season 5 Finale Spoilers!

Gabriel: Make sure that Adrien doesn't remember the villain that I was. (sets rings down) Only the times that I tried to be a good father...

Later...

Adrien: As distant as he was to me, I always chalked it up to him missing Mom. I'll miss him.

Marinette: (internally screaming) Oh, I'm sure he'll miss you...(under her breath) wherever he ends up.

Adrien: What was that, Marinette?

Marinette: Nothing! Nothing, Adrien. So, what are you thinking of doing...now that he's...gone?

Adrien: I hadn't really thought about that.

Nathalie: (with Amelie) No matter what, I can't leave Adrien. I've grown to love him too much.

Amelie: (holds her hand) You were so close to being his stepmother, and you took care of him for so long that he became like a son to you. (giggles as Adrien waves at them; waves back)

Nathalie: (waves back at Adrien) I just hope that Gabriel found some peace in the end.

Meanwhile, At the Hellp Desk...

Gabriel: (walking up to the desk) Excuse me, ma'am, maybe you could help me. I'm supposed to be with my wife, but I was told that I was to come down here to get my situation cleared up.

Penny: (makes eye contact with him) Gabriel Agreste. (looks up and down the mountain of a file) Yes, you're definitely in the right place for...clarification. Your file materialized on the floor and it still reaches above the top of my desk. (touches file) Or do you prefer that I call you by one of your alter egos instead?

Hellp Desk: (collectively lean in closer)

Gabriel: Alter ego? You must be mistaken.

Greg: (walks up behind his wife)

Penny: Sir, we know every detail of your life after we touch your file. Every single one. Like a massive temporary download. So, do you prefer Gabriel, Hawkmoth, Scarlet Moth, Collector, Shadow Moth or Monarch?

Gabriel: Miss, I'm af--! (looks around) What are they doing?

Everyone: (pulling their hair up)

Penny: Oh, them? Don't mind them. Another cool thing is if something major happens in the world like all of the destruction you caused, everyone in what you call the 'Afterlife' will find out about it. We've actually been expecting you since your first akumatization. Several deities from many different belief systems have actually called down to put their name on the waiting list for their turn to come down and give you a taste of what you deserve and we just finished constructing your pocket dimension. Sort of like solitary confinement.

Gabriel: What?! I was doing it--!

Judy: To bring your wife back? We know why, Gabriel. That doesn't negate the fact that what you did and the lengths that you went did an irreparable amount of psychological harm and what you said to that poor girl who had to fight you so many times and even tried to warn you that there would be a price to pay. You were a villain, you sure got that right.

Gabriel: Ladybug's Lucky Charms fixed everything, though.

Lily: Not everything, Gabriel. Not her trauma, or your son's or anyone else's that you hurt. Even if they did, you're still destined for your own pocket dimension on Level 9. Don't worry, Greg will get to drag you down there eventually. However, let's see how strong you are against other ADULTS WITHOUT your Miraculous. Since you know, beating up teenagers was so easy with it.

Dante: (hits "record") This is gonna be great!

Sharkie: (starting up LED chainsaw) Yeah, it is!

{Gabriel's eyes held so much fear as the Belles charged him. Bel and Greg watched with pride as their wives and friends beat up this pompous magical asshole. Angel was just happy to hand them weapons. Dante handled the livestream. He was getting better at it.}

Emilie: (watching the livestream) That's what you get for throwing my son across Paris so many times, asshole. (slow turn to Aphrodite) I'm really not sure what Nathalie--or for that matter, I--saw in him. Care to explain?

Aphrodite: Hey, that was not on me. Eros handles Paris, France. Hera and Athena made sure that I had no reign over anything named similarly to Paris of Troy.

Eros: (pokes head out of sliding door) Hey, I thought that she and Nathalie could change him! Love can change people.

Emilie: I'm afraid that's only true for some people. Hopefully, my Adrien will be okay with Marinette. Those two were made for each other.

Athena: I hope that Marinette girl and your son can live somewhat happily now. They should never have had to become soldiers against evil so young, and until the Butterfly Miraculous is retrieved, her and your son's fight isn't over. If she ever chooses to reunite with Hippolyta [A/N: Sorry if I spelled that wrong], I will hopefully get to pass an encouraging message on to her.

Meanwhile, In the Mortal World...

Marinette: (feeding each kwami their favorite and hugging Tikki)

{All of a sudden, her Kwagatama glows, pulsating and Tikki separates from her to see what it is. Her eyes get wide.}

Marinette: Uh, Tikki, Su-Han, what's happening?

Su-Han: This is...remarkable.

Tikki: It's never happened before. (flies in front of Marinette's face) Marinette, you know how you can summon any of the past Ladybug Holders by touching a Guardian seal and saying 'Reunion'?

Marinette: Yeah, I remember talking to Joan of Arc. That whole day was embarrassing and crazy. What about it?

Tikki: Well, it's only been theoretical and never happened before until now, but I think one of the past Ladybug Holders is trying to connect with you from the Afterlife!

Marinette: (gasps, shocked) What?! That's possible?!

Tikki: Until you, a lot of things were thought to be impossible, Marinette. Even with the Miraculous.

Marinette: (panics) Aaaaahhhh! What do I do? A legendary hero is trying to talk to me from beyond the grave!

Su-Han: You answer them, obviously. It should work the same. (hands her a Guardian pendant) You're one of us now, Marinette. Please, accept this pendant as an apology. Just touch the Kwagatama to it and say 'Reunion'. Think of it, like answering a phone call.

Marinette: (takes pendant; puts it on) Okay, here we go. (deep breath; touches Kwagatama to pulsing seal) Reunion.

{The bright light flashes and instead of portraits hanging, she sees Joan of Arc walking towards her instead.}

Marinette: Joan?

Joan: (hand across chest, bowing) Good to see you again, Noble Ladybug of Paris.

Marinette: Why are you bowing? How are you? What's going on? Tikki said that this has never happened before. Other, previous Holders contacting me from the Afterlife.

Joan: I am well, thank you. You've proven yourself worthy and capable of a bow. You've done it. You've stopped your Monarch. Something that I regrettably could not do myself.

Marinette: The Butterfly Miraculous, it's still missing, I was trying so hard to keep him from making the wish, and I couldn't even do that. Someone else took it. I got all the others, but...I failed.

Joan: (holds her shoulder) You did what any of us would have done. You're far too young to have grown so quickly. All of us were chosen when we were already adults. We cannot fathom how you've managed to overcome so much, yet you have. Your Guardian chose well.

Marinette: (tears up, sniffles) No, he didn't. I couldn't protect him. He had to renounce because of me. I was the only one who could take his place...(holds pendant)

Joan: (looks, amazed at Guardian seal) You...are the only Ladybug that's ever become a Guardian. The fact that you are so young and have conquered so much in addition means that Tikki may very well be right to describe you as the best Ladybug holder she's ever served. The fight may not be over, but neither are you, Marinette Dupain-Cheng, Hero Champion of Paris and Guardian of the Miraculous. Whenever you need any of us, we will be here. The other Ladybug Holders sent me to assure you that we are all behind you and now that your Black Cat has a Kwagatama, the same goes for him. Call upon us and we will come to your aid. They also wanted to send me since I am the only one that you've ever summoned from beyond the Veil. They're quite amazed by you as well. Same goes for my Grimalkin and the other Black Cat Holders.

Marinette: Amazed? By me? That can't be right. You're all legendary heroes who have overcome impossible odds, and I'm just a clumsy baker's daughter.

Joan: Is that the pleasant aroma from downstairs? Don't be doubtful of my next words, you and that puny kitten of yours have become somewhat of legends yourselves among us. You've overcome odds all your own and will continue to. Some of the other Ladybug Holders want to come and meet you. We just can't come all at once because that would raise suspicion in the Afterlife. We'll try to space it out, but some can't wait. (hugs her) Worry not, for Monarch is where he belongs and we will take care of him from here, like we do all of each other's enemies. Fare thee well, young Guardian. (disappears)

{The world comes back into focus and Tikki is the first to ask.}

Tikki: Marinette, is everything okay? What happened?

Su-Han: What did you see?

Marinette: The world around us kind of darkened and instead of portraits, the Holder trying to contact you just walks up to you to talk. Made me a little disoriented, coming back into focus. Couldn't you hear it, Tikki?

Su-Han: (writing this down) Fascinating.

Tikki: No. It's strange, but I couldn't hear anything. Who was it?

Marinette: It was Joan again. Side note, Su-Han, you may want to give Chat Noir a seal, too. The battle is far from over and Joan implied that maybe he'll need to talk to the previous Black Cat Holders with his Kwagatama, too.

Su-Han: Got it. Wait, Chat Noir has a Kwagatama as well?

Tikki: Plagg said that he gave him one.

Su-Han: (smiles and nods) I'll get one for you so that you can explain it to him, Marinette.

Marinette: Fine. Anyway, she also said that apparently, Tikki, you've described me as the best Ladybug that you've ever served. Despite the rest being legendary heroes known throughout history.

Tikki: (rubs back of head) Well, every Ladybug is different. Like she probably told you, you're the first not to be given your Miraculous as an adult.

Marinette: Yeah, she said that. Also, that Monarch is where he belongs in the Afterlife and that they'll 'take care of him' there. Like they do for each other's enemies.

Tikki: Well, yes, Marinette, you've earned your place as one of them and their respect because of all that you've accomplished at such a young age. As Ladybug Holders, you can summon each other from all across history and from the Afterlife for a reason. It's a huge burden and no one should feel as alone as you have. They look out for each other. Monarch is gone and they...have some grievances with him. Particularly because you are so young and they've grown fond of you, like I have.

Marinette: (hugs her to her face as she nuzzles her)

role swap miraculous au

(i really want to talk about it but have no friends (rip my social life) so i’m putting it on here)

marinette is the daughter of designer sabine cheng while adrien is the son of bakers gabriel and emilie agreste

marinette grew up being modeling for her mom, but has always wanted to follow into her footsteps and become a designer herself. sabine, however, never paid attention/was never available when marinette tried to bring up her designs

adrien on the other hand is quite happy with simply inheriting the bakery. a simple boy with simple life plans

adrien and marinette are still respectively chat noir and ladybug. meanwhile, sabine is monarque, aka the villain terrorizing paris

i’m going to ignore the whole canon lore surrounding emilie and amelie to say that stopped talking because of a career related argument. their parents always valued hard working jobs, and so did emilie, but amelie wanted to become a model. that created an argument and amelie left to never come back and became, just like she had wanted, a model. she is currently under contract with cheng fashion and a close friend of sabine

and so, logically, marinette grew up with felix as a friend. she’s also close with chloe and kagami. they all met through their parents, who all work in the fashion industry

speaking of kagami, i’m also going to ignore all canon lore related to her family. her mom is now ceo of a renowned fabric company, who works closely with cheng design

marinette does have a crush on adrien, the sweet little baker boy, but it only lasts for a while. eventually she confessed, but when rejected (because adrien is far too stupid and in love with ladybug to realize that she’s standing right in front of him), she simply shrugs it off and decides to focus on her role as ladybug, her friends and designs

when adrien does realize however, it’s already too late. so no happy endings for the love square here

chloe also had a ‘crush’ on adrien for a while, but she actually made it up to fit in. she’s aroace

here, marinette’s friend group is made of chloe, felix, kagami, nino and luka. the rich kids basically picked up two stray musicians

on the other hand, adrien hangs out with alya, kim, alix and max. which, let’s be honest, is just as but also a totally different brand of chaotic as marinette’s group

sabine does eventually realize how useless what she did as monarque was when she already had everything she needed to be happy, so she surrenders. end game is sabine x nathalie, and marinette ends up taking the mantle of cheng industries with the help of her brand new step-mom

feel free to ask about anything else you’d like to know about this silly little au i came up with
