If weaver and draconus ever met. This is what most of the cameras would get if they managed to sneak a photo of them

Weaver for sure sticks her middle fingers up at the press, whilst draconus stays silent only butting in when he’s needed then leaves

(Weaver is spider kagami btw for those who don’t know!)

Also weavers outfit is a work in progress I’ll post that redesign again soon!

not Chlonette related, but has anyone ever named their own Cat!Chloe as Catalyst? been trying to think of different names for the chlonette verse involving different Kwami.

also I haven't read anything in any wiki so far but is Chloé strictly French or there's some mixed race in either side of the family? thank you in advance!

I came across a really neat post by @sillygoofylittleartist with costume designs for Tiger!Luka and Snake!Juleka, and had a lot of thoughts about that. I was running out of room in the tags, so I’ll put them here.

Juleka would be a really interesting pick for the snake. She’s a very shy and anxious person, and I think that having the ability to reset and try again when she made a mistake would be a relief at first.

Maybe it would build her confidence knowing that she can try again until she gets it right, and no one has to know she messed up. Or maybe it would fill her with doubt, knowing how many tries it took to get it right and seeing the consequences of her mistakes. Especially if her teammates complimented her on how well she was doing, because they wouldn’t know, and she probably wouldn’t tell them much beyond “Well, it took a few resets . . .” Probably one after the other, and initial period of “I can’t be a hero! What am I doing!” followed by a buildup of confidence that slowly turns to self doubt.

I think Sass would be a good partner for her. He’s level headed and wise, and that steady surety would be a good counter to panic spirals. He could help her see that we get the chance to try again and again our whole lives. We’re going to make mistakes, but we also get to learn from them so that we can do better in the future.

Juleka would fidget with her bracelet when she was nervous as a civilian. She would think it was cool that Sass ate whole eggs or whatever and would offer to buy him mice, maybe. He could hide in her hair. Although I doubt she’d be a heavy hitter physically in akuma battles, the attention on her then could be something she’d channel when modeling. If she could tackle a giant robot on live TV dressed as a snake, she could model some outfits.

I might have more thoughts later, but I wanted to get these out. Thanks for reading! 🐍👩‍🎤

I haven't worked on this in nearly 2 years, but recently I've had a sudden motivation spike and am planning on bringing it back.

I'm starting by redoing and revamping the current relevant transformations of the characters.

Unfortunately I can't art. I am bad at drawing, so I can't do comic, even though I would love to. So instead I'm doing YouTube videos.

I will write up the summary later. But the idea is That Adrien, Marinette, Nathalie and Gabriel swapped miraculous' as well as roles.

But one thing that I should make clear is that Gabriel isn't really a good guy. When I made the origins episode I was lazy with the backstory on how Nathalie and Gabriel attained the miraculous' but I am going to clear it up at some point.

Some episodes will be discluded because Adrien, even as a villain has different morals than his father. Meaning he won't akumatize his family, friends, or children (so no puppeteer in season 1) I'm also changing some akuma designs up a bit because some really sucked.

Anyway I have a bunch of ideas on the concept. Might eventually redo the original episodes. But for now I'm gonna start on Pharaoh in a little bit.

Akuma class gets character development because I said so. Marinette is not the only one learning lessons, also because I said so. And Love Square isn't gonna exist.

I'm trying again, so hopefully the inconsistency after this long break won't be too bad.

I just redid Nathalie and Adrian's transformation, Gabriel's is next.

More clarification on the Gabriel isn't a good guy thing, originally I didn't have Adrien as a Senti-being, but I changed that when it was made canon. But Gabriel's treatment of Adrien is what pushes him to this extreme. The only reason Gabriel isn't still Hawkmoth in this timeline is because Adrien stole it from him before he found out about the wish and got the idea to terrorize Paris.

Anyway I'll probably link the main ones I made so far.

Adventures of Kitsune Teumessia

I needed a break from Soulmate Train so I've done a one-shot for a Phantom Thief AU with fox!Luka as the thief and Marinette as the detective.

I already love this AU so expect more in the future!

AO3

“He’s here! It’s Kitsune!”

This was always the most exciting part of any heist. As soon as the alarm goes off, making his presence known to the dozens of police officers in the building, all eyes would be on him, and before anyone could do as much as cry out his name, he’d be on the run.

“He has the ring!”

“After him!”

“Don’t let him get away!”

He had already leaped out of the room where the black ring was displayed mere seconds ago, running through the aisles of the Agreste gallery, on the run from the police. It was always the same game. Grabbing the jewelry, making his presence known, waiting for the police to run away.

Running away himself was too exhausting, after all. Especially when he had the power to create an illusion, a perfect copy of himself, to do the running for him, while he could calmly stroll into the other direction, as if this was a walk in the park.

It was almost a little boring with how easy it was to fool the police every single time. One simple identical illusion of himself running down the halls in the opposite direction of him and he was free to go. These cops really never learn, do they? It hadn’t even been necessary to make a more complicated and creative illusion.

Oh well, he figured it wasn't too bad. At least this job had been easy and he would be home soon enough, so who was he to complain?

He opened the door to the rooftop and looked around. Other than some cars honking in the distance and the Seine bubbling right next to the building, it was quiet up there. He fished an earpiece out of his pocket to get in touch with his accomplices. “Juleka, this is Kit. Do you copy?”

“Copy,” Juleka answered immediately. “Where are you now?”

“Almost on the roof. I have the ring, I’ll meet up with Ivan in a bit.”

“Roger that, see you soon.”

“Kit, this is Rose. Do you copy?” a second voice asked through the earpiece.

“Copy,” Kit replied. “Where are you? Are we good to go?”

“Yes, I’m at the main entrance in the middle of the crowd. The police are still distracted by your illusion. Nobody should see you.”

"Excellent". We’ll meet up later in our hideout.”

He walked over to the vent, took the lid off and took out a rope, which had a hook attached to it. Prior to today’s heist, he had infiltrated the gallery and had prepared everything beforehand. From the edge of the rooftop, he could see Ivan,  his third accomplice, standing on the roof of the neighboring building. Kit waved at him, confirming he was ready. The other man raised his hand. Everything was set.

The thief prepared himself to throw the hook. Coiling the rope loosely in his hand, he let the hook swing back and forth a few times, then threw it over the street to the other building.

Except the hook didn’t leach onto the other building. It didn’t even get that far, falling down and bouncing off the building’s wall with a loud ‘clang’.

“What the…?”

Kit pulled up the hook. Has the throw really been that bad? He examined the tool. The hook was still okay, and the rope…

Wait, the rope… it has been cut. Oh crap. Some had tampered with the rope, which means—

The last thing he saw before he was tackled to the ground was the rope flying a few meters away and Ivan disappearing from the roof. Kit heard the sound of handcuffs being snapped shut. “That was a terrible throw.” the person sitting on him said triumphantly.

Kit chuckled. Of course, why didn’t he think of her sooner?

“Marinette Dupain-Cheng, my favorite detective,” he cooed, turning his head to see the woman in question in the corner of his eyes. The moonlight shined on her dark hair as beautiful bluebell eyes grinned at him. His heartbeat quickened.

“Kitsune Teumessia. The fox who is destined to never be caught has just been caught. Ironic, isn’t it?”

Kit shrugged. “Nobody’s perfect. I take it you cut my escape rope, didn’t you?” He asked.

“You wouldn’t just do the boring thing and run away from the officers. I knew you must’ve had other plans.”

“Smart girl,” he said. “I can’t believe that this is only the second heist you’ve witnessed and you already know my tactics better than officer Roger, who has been trying to apprehend me for ages.”

“I do my work rigorously, Kit.” She winked at him. “I’m not letting you get away that easily.”

“In that case, it probably would’ve been smarter to just take the rope altogether instead of just cutting it.”

She gave him a shrug. “Good point, However, I couldn’t resist seeing your dumb face when you throw the hook.”

He rolled his eyes, but smiled a tad wider. When he had first met her, he had thought the cute woman sitting on top of him was one of those super serious no nonsense detectives, and now here she was, just messing with him like this is just some game. Wasn’t he the one who should be messing with law enforcement officers?

Oh, how the tables have turned. He couldn’t deny that he liked that playful side of her. In fact, he might even say it was kind of hot.

“It seems you’re enjoying this way too much, my dear detective.” Kit chuckled. 

“Me? It seems like you’re the one who is having too much fun given your current situation.” The detective flicked her hair and smirked at him. Full of self-confidence. God, that was hot. “If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you’re happy that I found you up here.”

She wasn’t wrong, Kit was indeed very happy to see her. Despite their current position and the fact that she was literally in the middle of arresting him, he enjoyed their playful banter with those almost flirtatious undertones more than he probably should. 

Marinette was an interesting young lady. Very determined, smart, challenging. And pretty. So pretty. Who would he be to not flirt at least a little with her? He was a gentleman thief, after all.

“Well, what can I say? It is always a pleasure to have you around,” he laughed. “Ever since you’ve been assigned to this case, I can’t just do my usual gimmicks anymore. Looks like I have to step up my game and become a little more creative to impress you.”

Marinette laughed. “I’m glad you had fun. But I’m afraid there won’t be a next time, Kit.”

He felt the weight on his body disappear as he was pulled up onto his knees. It was then when he noticed only one of his hands was handcuffed, the other was free. He blinked confused and when he looked back, he lifted his eyebrows in surprise. Marinette had handcuffed him to herself.

Oh.

Oh, this could make things unnecessarily complicated.

The detective leaned closer to his ear. “You’re under arrest for the theft of the black ring of the Agreste family. You have the right to remain silent.”

His cheeks got warm as he felt her breath against his ear. She must know what she’s doing, right? There’s no way she wasn’t doing that on purpose. Good to know the flirting wasn’t one-sided at all.

“Is this how she usually arrests bad guys?“ he teased her and it got a small chuckle out of her. “Nah, you get special treatment.” 

They got up and Marinette pulled a walkie-talkie out of her pocket.

“This is detective Dupain-Cheng speaking, I got him. I’m bringing him to the main entrance.”

As they walked towards the door, the thief bit his lips, contemplating on what to do next. He was handcuffed to Marinette. He could probably undo the handcuff with ease, but then where would he go? He certainly  couldn’t use the stupid rope anymore to escape to another roof. And escaping through the gallery which was swarming with cops sounded like a suicide mission. This was bad. It couldn’t end like this! He couldn’t go to Jail, he still had to fulfill his mission! Plus, he couldn’t let his little… whatever this was with Marinette come to an end so soon…

It was then when he remembered that the gallery was just on the banks of the Seine. The building wasn’t too high and he was wearing a magical suit, so…

No, he couldn’t do that. Or could he? It was risky.. but then again, what other choice did he have?

“We’re going downstairs?” Kit asked, with an entirely too innocent sounding voice and stopped in his tracks.

What I’m about to do is crazy. And hella dangerous. But I have no other choice.

“I happen to know a short-cut.”

Everything happened so fast and before Marinette could register what had happened, Kit had latched the hook to the edge of the rooftop, his body leaning dangerously over the edge with her own pressed against his. The only thing keeping them from falling was Kit's grip on the rope. They were so close to each other, Kit swore he could see the faint blush dusting Marinette’s cheeks.

“W-what in the world are you doing?” She hissed.

“Look, I’m terribly sorry.” Kit explained. “I just really have to be somewhere else right now. I’ll promise though, we’ll see each other again soon enough.”

Marinette stared at him wide-eyed. “What the hell are you talking about? You can’t leave, you’re handcu—”

He lifted his hand, which had a noticeable absence of a handcuff. She looked down at her own hand from which the handcuff was dangling.

“H-how in the…?”

Kit smiled. “Oh, don’t worry, I thought it was cute. But next time”—he leaned in closer to whisper in her ear—”just ask if you wanna hold hands.”

She stared at him dumbfounded, her cheeks growing even more pink, before he gently pushed her away from him and leaned further back, lowering himself down on the rope.

“Until next time, my dear detective!”

He blew her a kiss before he let go of the rope. Marinette could only watch as the fox disappeared into the Seine.

After swimming downstream for a while, Kit was dragged onto a small motor board by Juleka.

“So how was the water? Did you have a good swim?” She asked as her brother detransformed and collapsed on the floor, heavily breathing. Trixx fell into his lap.

“That was fun,” the kwami giggled. “But you are right, you could be so much more creative with the powers I’m giving you!”

“Noted,” Luka said as he handed the small creature a couple of grapes. “One simple illusion was enough to steal the ring, but I probably have to step up my game if Marinette keeps showing up at my heists.” 

“As soon as Ivan told me she captured you, I knew we had to come up with an alternative escape route,” Juleka explained. “I told him to leave your escape to me, find Rose and get out of there.”

“You came at just the right moment,” Luka said. His sister smiled. They drove calmly through the night, Luka enjoying the wind in his hair.

“She must be so pissed right now,” Juleka chuckled after a while.

“Hm?”

“Your detective friend,” Juleka said. “I mean, she was so close to finally catching the notorious Kitsude Teumessia, and then he escaped at the last second. That must suck so hard.”

Luka turned his head around and looked into the distance. Their boat was already too far away to see the gallery anymore. “I hope she won’t beat herself up too much about it.”

He meant it. Even though they were on opposing sides, Luka still had a soft spot for the pretty detective pretty much from the moment he had first laid eyes on her. Strong and confident, yet gentle and kind at the same time. And the banter with her. He could feel the corners of his mouth draw upwards.  It had been his favorite moment of today’s heist for sure… if he ignores the whole thing about her trying to arrest him.

“It would almost be cute how much you care for her,” Juleka commented. “You know, if she weren’t out to capture you.”

Luka sighed. His sister was right, they were still on opposing sides. He was a criminal, she was fighting crime. They were like oil and water. Of course he had to catch feelings for the one woman he could never have. 

Oh, if only they had met under different circumstances.
