The Demon Takes Two Chairs (Ao3)

Après moi, le déluge.

I'm excited to announce the release of chapter one of my new Miraculous longfic for @mlbigbang2024.

First, I want to thank @uptoolateart for generously beta reading this story. @supergirl9130 has provided art for the first chapter (click through to the work to see it!).

Thanks to @amarilke for some last-minute help as a fact-checker on ch1.

The story is canon divergent, but also somewhat canon adjacent given that much of canon has happened, but some of it in different ways. But, crucially, most of the identity reveals have not happened. I'd rather do those myself :) Think of it as Justice League meets Twelve Angry Men. Superheroes weighing the fate of the accused, except they all have reasons to resent each other (when you start thinking about it, there's a shocking amount of reasons in canon for there to be grudges and grievances!).

Blurb

Nathalie Sancoeur has turned on Gabriel and gave information to Ladybug that led to his downfall. Now, her ragtag team of Miraculous holders must decide what to do with her while she is being held prisoner by Bunnyx in her time burrow.

Ladybug feels overwhelmed by all her allies’ differing opinions and by the revelation tonight that her boyfriend is a sentibeing. She sets out to convince them that Adrien Agreste’s closest quasi-family should be shown leniency. As the team debates Mme Sancoeur’s fate, old wounds are re-opened, and the team feels like it's falling apart.

Most painful of all is that Ladybug hasn’t seen Chat Noir in days.

Honestly I'd love to see everything reversed in the reverse universe, not just who the heroes and villains are.

After all it does look like Alya's using computers to work against Shadybug rather than worshipping her through her blog so why not reverse all the relationships?

Reverse Lovesquare. Adrien and his dad got closer after Emilie's death, except that Adrien completely does not approve of his dad's feelings for Nathalie (who's unaware of Gabriel's interest). Chloe is Marinette's childhood friend who keeps trying to matchmake Adrintte.

Is there a reason why Plagg is so against the reveal? He seems to be chill before but now he suddenly like "adrintte together is bad! they'll reveal to each other abort abort!!" He even saying if they got together the world will be destroyed. or something like that, I forgot. Is this him being dramatic, he know about what hapoen in cat blanc or what?

You know, I'm not sure? It IS kind of weird how he seems more concerned about it than Tikki is, since yeah, as far as we know he's unaware of Chat Blanc.
