Have you seen bigfatbreak's AUs? Specifically, the Feralnette, Nekydallon and Villain Dad AUs. If not, I seriously recommend them.

I was actually scrolling down the Villain Dad one.

I'm like. 99% down with them but there's once again the 'haha Chloé's mom is abusive' vibes so I probably won't hang around but other than that it's great

Ok, I and @sashonya were suddenly struck with inspiration after seeing some beautiful art made by @edorazzi. Specifically, an older piece made back in 2015 depicting Felix and Bridgette from Miraculous Ladybug PV as younger versions of Gabriel Agreste and Sabine Cheng. This one Specifically. So Sash and I made an AU.

This AU starts basically the same, with Adrien as the sheltered son of rich but distant fashion designer, Gabriel Agreste along with the late Emilie Agreste. And Marinette as the clumsy and anxious daughter of bakers Tom Dupain and Sabine Cheng. But one day while digging through the old belongings of his parents, Adrien discovers a small box holding the cat miraculous. And for her birthday, Marinette is given a pair of family heirloom earrings. Which turn out to be the ladybug miraculous.

You can imagine where this goes...

Marinette and Adrien become the heroes Chat Noir and Ladybug, but are aware of older heroes who once existed several decades ago, long before either of them was born. With the help of their kwamis they go about trying to hide their activities as heroes fro their parents, seemingly doing rather well.

The kids go on to fight Hawk Moth, fighting to discover the identity of the villain who not even the audience knows. But through a series of events, the kids start to suspect it might be Gabriel due to his distance and coldness after the passing of his wife. Along with the fact both Miraculouses can be used to grant a wish that could revive his wife.

This all comes to a head in the season one or two finale, depending on the show's preference, where the kids are captured by Hawk Moth or one of their akumas. In the process, they are separated from their miraculouses, which are soon found by Gabriel and Sabine. The two parents meet up once they realize what happened to their kids. Gabriel looks down at Sabine, and gives a deep bow while greeting her with a "My lady" and Sabine simply laughs out a "My dear Chaton". And finally, it's revealed that both Sabine and Gabriel were once the previous holders of the two miraculouses. They quickly transform and rush off to save their kids.

Imagine the kids shock when they're sitting tied up, thinking they're up the creek without a pedal before Chat Noir suddenly cataclysms through the wall, followed by Ladybug(or their previous names). Both of them waste little time in freeing their kids, Gabriel shocking his son by scooping him up in a massive, teary hug. Yeah, he's actually rather sweet in this AU, just with a lot of difficulty expressing his emotions correctly, especially after his wife's passing.

Marinette and Adrien then get to witness the full power of the cat and ladybug miraculouses with their much more experienced parents who absolutely decimate Hawk Moth's forces. In that fight it's also revealed the truth of Hawk Moth's identity, being Tomoe, Kagami's mother. (Both of them would likely being introduced much earlier in this AU). Tomeo would specifically take a lot of inspiration from @bigfatbreak's Nekydallon, being blind but regaining her sight when akumatizing someone, along with a sick-ass butterfly mask. I'm not certain of Tomeo's motivations, but I think she'd make an interesting villain. She also likely would have been born sighted and have lost her sight at some point in her life, which possibly led her to find the butterfly miraculous.

After Marinette and Adrien are saved, their parents finally get to reveal the truth to them. Gabriel and Sabine were once the holders of the cat and ladybug miraculouses when they were younger, along with once being called Felix and Bridgette. As teens, they faced off against another great threat. But once their enemy was defeated, Paris no longer needed them. And both of them were tired of being heroes after so long carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders. So together they decided to renounce their miraculouses and hide them away. In a motion to distance themselves from their previous identities, they also went about changing their names to Gabriel and Sabine. They actually haven't seen each other since they gave up being heroes in their twenties. Sabine did very much want to be there for Gabriel after Emilie died, but they'd been apart for so long and she worried returning to his life in such a turbulent time would only worsen things for him and Adrien.

Back then they were crazy close, not romantically but more like platonic soulmates. The only reason they avoided each other for so long was the knowledge both of them wanted to live their lives away from their past and had found their own new happy lives. However, things got a little complicated when Hawk Moth appeared and they became hyper-aware of the fact Paris needed new heroes. Which is what led them to entrust their own children with the miraculouses in secret. They felt that even if their kids wouldn't be able to take on the roles of heroes, they would be able to find the right people who could.

Maybe it's not the best reasoning but it's certainly something and I wouldn't put reasoning like that past this show.

I also like to imagine the cutesy interactions we can see between Sabine and Tom concerning the whole miraculous thing. Tom is 100% Sabine's biggest fan even after she retired. And he's had to fight as hard as possible to keep from scooping up Marinette and tell her how proud he is of her every time he hears about her actions as Ladybug. Gabriel and Emilie likely had a similarly sweet relationship concerning his former life as a hero. Though I think she was flattered to know he gave it up to start a life with her. Him and Adrien 100% would also need a scene where they visit Emilie's grave or memorial in private and talk about Adrien's exploits as Chat Noir. And just how amazed and proud she would surely be of him.

Anyway. I think that's it for the AU idea. It's a thing and it's sweet. I might be the one to write it if it wasn't for the fact I was working on something else. So anybody take it if you want it. I'm not gonna use it.

So just in case anyone was wondering...  ψυχή is ancient Greek for “butterfly.” It can also mean “soul” or “life” among other things.

The word for butterfly in formal Greek is psyche, thought to be the soul of the dead. Ancient Greeks also named the butterfly scolex (“worm”), while the chrysalis – which is the next stage of metamorphosis from a caterpillar – was called nekydallon, meaning “the shell of the dead”. The metamorphosis of the butterfly inspired many to use butterflies as a symbol of the soul’s exit from the body. Thus, the myth of Psyche concomitantly signifies soul and butterfly. It has come to mean the story of the soul coupled with divine eros, but which must nevertheless endure tribulations before achieving immortality. (Source)

For these reasons, Thanatos was often depicted with butterflies as the taker of souls.

I’m proposing... the pinned butterfly is symbolic of Thanatos handing over his own soul to Zagreus.

requests from my patreon: Dad villain au and Villain au crossover! I had fun designing the combo-power of double Nooroo. If Goliath Viceroy and Nekydallon combine their powers, they can make a Khanakuma, which is a cooler version of a megakuma.
