Happy new year! This was supposed to be finished about a week ago but what can you do with holiday timetables ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So I finally watched the hot mess that was Miracle Queen! And as everyone knows at this point, when canon goes off the rails I like trying to fix it with the Mentor AU. We usually focus on Justice For Adrien but this time I really felt Marinette was the one hard done by, so what better time to finally introduce her to Bridgette?

Bri and Felix were on their way home from a pleasant weekend in London when they ran into Fu at the station, and despite backing Fu’s mentoring choices for years (while ignoring all Felix’s complaints about what they went through as Miraculous holders) Bri absolutely lost it when he explained his tactical exit and how it included dumping the Miracle Box on Ladybug before leaving her to figure things out. She wasn’t too attached to this new kid but bugs have to look out for each other, and Bri knows bad mentorship when she sees it! Someone has to keep responsible tabs on things now!!

Felix is just trying to stop anyone getting detained by Eurostar security for assault. Bri is difficult to hold on to even at the best of times, let alone when she’s trying to brawl with a frail elderly man in the middle of a train station. It’s better to redirect this energy into getting home to Paris and addressing this mess like the capable adults these children need!
