Akumaclass Harem AU

Marinette has a crush (whether she yet knows it or not) on all of her classmates, and when she kisses their Akuma forms (either as Ladybug or as Marinette), their Akumas’ connection to Hawk Moth severs and they regain their normal minds and are able to switch between civilian and Akuma modes.  This also prevents Hawk Moth from Reakumatizing them, as technically they still have an Akuma.

It first happened with Lady Wifi.  Her Akumatized best friend had her locked to the wall and her partner trapped, and she was making a big show of how she had full control of the situation and was going to unmask her to all of Paris.  Ladybug was very attracted to the presented power and was overcome with the urge to kiss her, to the surprise of both of them.  Alya’s normal mind and morality were restored, and Hawk Moth’s connection to her was broken, and she quickly dismissed the livestream sigil and the locks.  She apologizes for everything and drops her Lady Wifi appearance while Ladybug uses the Miraculous Cure.  Marinette wonders what could have happened, but Tikki has no answers that would explain it as being a power of the Ladybug Miraculous.

Evillustrator- Marinette explains the situation to Sabrina adequately, and Sabrina is touched that Mari would agree to the date to help Nath and keep Chloé safe.  On the date, Marinette is genuinely charmed by Evillustrator/Nathaniel and gives him a kiss on the cheek.  This has the same effect as on Lady Wifi and Nath comes to his senses while still appearing as Evillustrator.  Marinette admits that she worked with Chat Noir to trap and Deakumatize him, but Nath tells her that she did the right thing even if he doesn’t like being tricked.  Chat reports to Chloé to tell her that she is safe now.  Marinette wonders how she has this power, and muses the possibilities of if it is a hidden power of the Ladybug Miraculous or something akin to True Love’s Kiss.  In the meantime, she offers to go on a real date with Nath.  When Marinette relays the night’s events to Sabrina, the latter girl is dismayed as she wanted to ask Mari out on a date, but Mari agrees to that.  So she starts dating both Nathaniel and Sabrina, and both are willing to help her with her crush on Adrien.

Ladybug gets this to work with Horrificator but ironically fails to perform it on Dark Cupid.  When Nino tries to tell Marinette he likes her but panics and says he likes Alya and Marinette comes up with ideas to set them up, Alya is annoyed in part because she is in love with Ladybug after the Lady Wifi kiss.  But Alya and Nino still end up falling for each other and start dating.  Ladybug later uses her magic kiss on Princess Fragrance and Reflekta (but not Gamer, Vanisher, or Antibug).  After she comes to understand Chloé’s situation, her pushed-down feelings spark up more clearly rather than having Chat Cataclysm the Bee Comb.  She still takes the Miraculous back to Master Fu and discuss the whole “Akuma Cure Kiss” thing.  While she does not have the Miraculous, Chloé cannot become Queen Wasp again, as the Akuma is in the Miraculous, but she could be Akumatized without it.  Marinette takes part in the fight against Reverser in civilian form due to her Ladybug form being reversed and made clumsy so Marinette has the opposite state, and she kisses them to bring Marc to their senses.  So by the time we get to Heroes’ Day, Marinette is dating Nathaniel, Sabrina, and Marc, while Ladybug has Alya, Mylène, Rose, Juleka, and Chloé pining for Ladybug.

When Vanisher follows Ladybug in an attempt to find the Guardian, Ladybug detransforms and kisses her as Marinette to free her from Hawk Moth’s control.  Every Love-Redeemed Akuma aids Team Miraculous in fighting Scarlet Moth’s army, while Chloé starts out as Queen Bee in the fight before shifting to Queen Wasp to clear out large numbers of Scarlet Akumas when she thinks of it.  Ladybug gets kisses in on Timebreaker (really easy because Scarlet Moth had her stand by because he remembered that she is the one Akuma he doesn’t want to use) and Stoneheart (kept occupied by Horrificator).

Akumaclass Harem AU-

Since she is openly poly/has accepted that she is poly, Ladybug doesn't turn Chat Noir down with the "there's someone else" line, and though she adds that she has multiple loves, she and Chat start dating after Glaciator.

How long do you think I can drag out Adrien joining Marinette's harem as a civilian, with her ever-growing polycule helping her try to overcome her nerves and get his attention versus Adrien still being dense?

wait shit I just saw

I had to go find the post but

[sirani-8927]

I highly recommend giving this a look if you guys want to take a look at the previous concepts and especially the first 4(?) bible pitches. from what i can tell, its a source of all of the stuff the show writers were trying out for miraculous before what we ending up getting and, to me at least, its interesting to see what concepts they kept, tossed, or changed in some way.

My personal favorite bible at the moment is the 10.6.14 since its got the first hints of the Akumaclass we know and love (characters like Nathanael, Juleka, and Mylene), even though most personalities are different from how they are currently. And the full script of the first two episodes, Stormy Weather and Evillustrator. Again, with some changes to the stories. 

The full website is definitely worth a full scrub through. I’m kind of surprised that it's not as big among the fandom anywhere online at all. The Orb is definitely a more interesting concept to me as it gives a reason for the heroes gaining powers in both of the 2012 bibles.

I pulled these screenshots from the 2013 pitch bible, as they both had five powers each and, in this Bible at least, Chat Noir's miraculous was his cane:

Interestingly, Papillion was going to also, In a way, be possessed by the Akumas:

And Gabriel had a wildly different personality to the one we ended up getting:

Once again, I do recommend looking through it on your own, because it's very interesting and one of the most irrefutable archives of pre-show/Ladybug Classic that I’ve been able to find. I'll tag @arcadeology as they own the site, but be warned they aren't canon positive and they post AUs centered around the pre-canon concepts, so if none of that is appealing to you don't bother.

Also, keep in mind the translations will be a bit wonky as they were auto-translated.

NO WAIT THAT ALSO MAKES SENSE. The butterfly can't really be used as a weapon against them if they're happy, and I don't think Lila has bigger plans besides ruining Marinette and the akumaclass, so she will definitely be causing some drama to get negative emotions. I'm just like...what if the butterfly got damaged? something else must've popped up if Lila looked so scared, and will this thing help her with her plans for the coming seasons?

Where is Nooroo?

I think we all are a bit confused on the final scene where Lila puts on the miraculous. I think I figured something out.

What happened to Nooroo? When Marinette knocks the brooch off Gabriel, he demands Nooroo to pick it up and Marinette says that he won't listen to him anymore...but he never shows up. We actually never see Nooroo after that.

What happens usually when you put on a miraculous? A kwami appears.

Only this time Nooroo didn't show up, but something big enough for Lila to look up. And from this episode we can clearly see kwamis have other forms, what if Nooroo took another form? What if the brooch got damaged when BugNoir hit it with the staff? What happened to the butterfly miraculous?

Thanks Abby for making me this gif <3

Okay, but, y'all...imagine the miracuclass/akumaclass makes yet another movie...and it's a noir detective movie.

Adrien immediately volunteers Nino for it because, "you had the getup for it when you thought Alya and Chat Noir were secretly dating each other. It actually felt like I was being interrogated by a detective. Besides, I don't think anyone else here would look that good with a moustache."

Akumaclass: hey refleckta-

Reflectka: MY NAME’S JULEKA

AU where one of the class gets alumatized but quickly brings it under their control. Unfortunately, they are unable to separate from it and remain stuck with the powers, look, and name., which everyone starts calling them by. Eventually everyone becomes unable to remember who they were or what they looked like before akumatization, instead assuming that they were always like this.

[wilygryphon]

I love how Hawkmoth was fishing for a chance to leak the info to Marinette and akumatize her lol.

Not really. He was just feeling awkward with what was happening.

[wilygryphon]

Akumaclass Harem has Sabrinette.

Immediate S Tier

Thanks! It's not really one I have put much focus on, but it's cute. (And it has a neat what-could-have-been starting point in canon.)

[wilygryphon]

ML AU Masterpost

Adding all of my AUs to the "Unpenned AUs" section of my primary masterpost would make it too bulky, so I'm listing the concepts here. I will list the names and short descriptions. If these AUs have tags, I will link them; if they are single posts, I will link to the post.

Miraculous Ladybug Rewrite

How I would redo the story of Miraculous Ladybug if I were to do so. Notable details would be: Chloé gets a redemption that sticks; Gabriel is more consistent in terms of his standards and what he is willing to do for his goal; Season 3 finale identity reveal; and Adrigaminette endgame. Here

The Key to the Miraculous (KH + ML Crossover)

Sora winds up in the Miraculous Ladybug universe after the events of KH3, and he ends up befriending the cast and joining forces with Ladybug and Chat Noir. Here

Unforgotten - ML Oblivio AU

Ladybug and Chat Noir do not lose their memories between getting hit by Oblivio and the Miraculous Cure, so they remember learning each other's identities and falling in love. How things deviate from canon with them knowing each other and dating from that point. Here

Lacewing and Blue Peacock

The Black Cat and Ladybug Miraculouses are in the hands of two separate villains—Gabriel Agreste and Martina Rossi—who go at each other's throats trying to claim the other's Miraculous. To combat this, Master Fu gives the Butterfly Miraculous to Marinette and the Peacock Miraculous to Adrien. As Lacewing and Blue Peacock, the young Holders empower civilians as Champions and grant support Sentimonsters to help them with their problems and to prevent Shadow Panther and Coccinella from destroying the city in their conflict. Here

Double Bug (Miraculous Ladybug AU)

Marinette successfully passes the Ladybug earrings to Alya, who becomes Scarabella, but Alya learns what happens and convinces Marinette to tag-team the role of Ladybug hero. Here

Deadlybug

Ladybug and Chat Noir confront Monarch, but Monarch sends out a Megakuma to Akumatize Chat Noir. Fearing a Chat Blanc repeat, Ladybug intercepts the Akuma, becoming Akumatized in the process. Here

Ladybug of Light, Cat of Darkness

Kingdom Hearts/Miraculous Ladybug Fusion. Childhood friends Marinette, Adrien and Chloé are separated when their island homeworld is consumed by the Heartless and Akumas. As Ladybug and Chat Noir, Marinette and Adrien meet up in Traverse Town, but they do not know who the other really is, even as they journey together with Donald and Goofy to fight the forces of Darkness and search for Chloé. Here

Guardian Cheng AU

Another Guardian survived the temple's destruction, and Sabine Cheng is the current keeper of that Guardian's Miracle Box. Here

Akumaclass Harem AU

Marinette has a crush (whether she yet knows it or not) on all of her classmates, and when she kisses their Akuma forms (either as Ladybug or as Marinette), their Akumas’ connection to Hawk Moth severs and they regain their normal minds and are able to switch between civilian and Akuma modes. Here

Grew Up in Shanghai AU

Marinette (or rather, Meiyun, here) grew up in Shanghai and moved to Paris a year before the plot kicks into gear. Here

Miraculous Fantasy AU

Miraculous Ladybug done like a Final Fantasy game. Here

Yellowjacket AU

Instead of joining Hawk Moth in Heart Hunter/Miracle Queen, Chloé rebels and is sent by the villain through a portal into the middle of nowhere and replaced with a Sentimonster. She struggles to survive for half a year before returning to Paris as a vigilante called Yellowjacket. Here

[princess-of-the-corner]

Akumaclass Harem AU- When Marinette comes up to order ice cream, André Glacier short circuits.

hahahahahaha

[princess-of-the-corner]

Akumaclass Harem AU- If Chat Blanc were to happen-

Hawk Moth: "Chat Blanc, I am—"

Ladybug kisses Chat, he returns to his senses and just glares at his father

Hawk Moth: "Oh, right. I forgot about that. Say, uh, does Miss Dupain-Cheng know about this/is she cool with it?"

Ladybug: "I am Marinette, you idiot."

Hawk Moth: "Oh... Yeah, that makes sense. You're the only one(s) who did that kiss thing."

Then Ladybug calls Alya on her Bugphone and Lady Wifi jumps out of the yo-yo with her other Akuma partners, LB having called Alya to get everyone ready during the chase.

RIP GABE YOU WILL NOT BE MISSED

[princess-of-the-corner]

Akumaclass Harem AU-

Weredad might not happen, since Mari has multiple partners at this point and is dating Chat Noir as Ladybug. The "I'm in love with you" cover and brunch may still happen (with Tikki teasing her over that being a knee-jerk reaction), but it won't be as awkward and Chat starts to wonder, and she definitely doesn't overplay the "heartbreak" reaction if Chat does reject her.

Reflekdoll and Miraculer would not happen since Juleka and Sabrina are severed Akumas. In the case of Miraculer, while Chloé might be made to doubt somewhat (and she doesn't have the Bee Miraculous so could be Akumatized), she still rejects the Akuma so Hawk Moth recalls it since it can't go to Sabrina.

Oblivio might happen differently with Nino alone as the Akuma. (That would get him to be kissed and severed and get him into the harem on one side or another.)

Oh dope!

[princess-of-the-corner]

I'm not sure how the episodes that circle around the Marinette-Adrien-Kagami love triangle would go in the Akumaclass Harem AU. Marinette is still trying to woo Adrien, but she is all for poly relationships, though she doesn't know if Adrien is poly as well, and she hasn't developed a connection with Kagami yet. How would that all factor into certain Season 3 episodes?

Animaestro- Chloé doesn't push Marinette into trying to prank Kagami out of jealousy since she (Chloé) is dating Ladybug. There is a possibility that Marinette would end up in a conversation with Kagami.

Backwarder- Again, the jealousy issue would be unclear, but the same stuff might still happen for one reason or another.

Oni-Chan- If Marinette and Kagami haven't developed a bond by this point, then Mari wouldn't kiss Oni-Chan to sever her connection to Hawk Moth. If that is the case, then while Mari and Kagami would get together between Ikari Gozen and the day that would have Heart Hunter, but Kagami would not have an Akuma form like most of the rest of Maribug's harem.

Do you have any thoughts?

Animaestro - Honestly yeah just let Mari and Kagami talk!!

Backwarder - tbh you could cut the letter mixup entirely and just have Marinette see them off without trying to force a confession. The Akuma could still happen because Marianne is sad about the whole situation. Unfortunately little room for interactiosn with Kagami.

Oni-Chan - Have the Akuma go as normal, but afterward be like 'hey have you ever considered polyamory as a solution to your problems?'.

[princess-of-the-corner]

You know, considering how well redemptions go in ML, I propose something new.

Chloé returns after time crunch. She is more girlbossy than ever. No gaslight gatekeep, all girlboss. She battles baddies with a miraculous from another box. She doesn't team up with LB, she doesn't acknowledge any past with the akumaclass at all. Anytime someone brings anything up it is met with 'whatever' and a new topic.

Honestly just give her some off-screen character development.

[princess-of-the-corner]

Confrontation Akumaclass AU-

Nathalie: "Sir, Adrien's friends are here to speak with you."

Horrificator (outside her window): *Growls*

Monarch, connecting the dots: "Uhhhhhh... Tell them I'm not here."

RIP BUDDY
