Man, hearing about the season 1 days of miraculous makes remember when we first saw the leaks of the season and first the art for the pearls and stone, Alya with the fox (and how everyone called her Volpina), and Chloe with the bee. Man, those were days. I also remember how everyone was thinking Gabriel had the peacock and Emilie had the butterfly originally. I even remember when we first got that one image of Pixie Girl, and everyone thought she was a teenage Emilie with the butterfly miraculous that was going to appear in a flashback episode 😆. Ah, I miss those days.

Gosh so much is taking me back.

I remember expanded Square chaos. I remember there were theories of Ladybug and "Volpina"/Rena being rivals/antagonists to each other as a reversal of them being best friends + clearly Marinette wouldn't trust the new Fox (which I was never crazy about, especially as you typically didn't see that for Adrien and Nino, felt like turning girls against each other); and QB and LB were going be friendly. And there were speculated shenanigans for QB and RR, I think there was also a small rise of Chloya and the idea that maybe they'd have their own Square going.

Some I didn't see, like the theory that Pixie was teen Emilie, but I did see that she was planned for the NY Special, and there were the plans for the Shanghai Special.

I really did theorize that Marinette and Adrien were going to get their own exclusive Specials to be focused on, with Marinette in Shanghai and Adrien in NY and he for sure was going to work with Pixie.

Another theory I had was where Fu was going to become Marinette's mentor, Gabriel was going to be Adrien's, cause I did like the idea that he had the Peafowl, not Emilie. And I thought this concept art of Duusu was her being furious with Gabriel literally shutting her away.

And something was going to go down and this "Paon" was going to steal the Peafowl from Gabriel.

Or she already did and what Gabriel had was a fake.

And potentially that HM was who Gabriel and Emilie feared and that's why Adrien wasn't allowed out.

Those really were the days. The theories were so fun. And much of it I think was more interesting than what we got.

And it was a time of aus. I don't know how many aus are being done for ML these days, I think most are salt fics now, but that was the time to have fun, do different spins. Doing kwami swaps. Life swaps. Cowboy au.

You could get creative with akumas, like, I remember finding old fics that swapped Marientte with Bridgette and trapped her in a different reality/timeline, and I kinda wish the Paris Special did that. Off topic, but I feel the Paris Special should've gone full comedy and full reversal for characters. And that we actually got to see this different Paris.

Like, could you imagine Marinette and Emonette swapping places, either through akuma or Bunnyx, and Marinette's scrambling trying to figure out how to get back and how to keep going in this topsy turvy world where apparently Ladybug is a villain? "Hawk Moth" is a good guy? Wtf is Chat wearing? Wtf happened to Adrien.

And you got Emonette just needing shades cause this world is so bright and sunny and why do these people keep talking to her? Tf happened to Adrien, was he a poser this whole time? HM's a villain? But of course he's a bad villain just like he's a bad hero. And ooooh she's going to have so much fun with Chloe... and who tf is this Lila and what does she think she's doing picking a fight with Emonette. Oh, she's adding her to her list...

And you could add to it if kwamis were also kinda reversed.

Emonette stuck with canon Tikki trying to get her Marinette back, but also trying to rein in Emonette, try to be that voice of reason and her consciousness, and oh, she's dumping all of Chloe's things down the toilet... she's got her work cut out for her.

Meanwhile Special Tikki is more "pure luck" and is more chaotic and sporadic, she's not outright malicious, but she's just rolling with that neutralness of luck, it having good and bad and it comes down to karma and your own actions. She's just here to sit and watch the consequences play out. Emonette was kinda funny though she was predictable in her karma as her negative actions fed negative consequences. But man, this Marinette is freaking hilarious. Tikki is constantly eating popcorn, enjoying the show cause she never knows what she's going to get with this well meaning if all over the place Marinette.

FAQ about my rewrite/AU Miraculous: Magical Connections

A Brief Summary:

Miraculous: Magical Connections is a complete rewrite of the French TV show Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Chat Noir and aims to fix the issues many fans (such as myself) have with it. This includes but is not limited to: plot holes, character inconsistencies, and a general lack of story

How Mature is It?

Most of what I write is Teen and Up, and this is no exception

That isn't to say every character is going to swear and make sex jokes all the time, because they won't, but I wanted to work with a rating that allowed long time fans something to look forward to in this

I also wanted this to be a bit more on the mature side because if I didn't, I wouldn't be able to go into too much detail with certain characters backstories and the trauma they've gone through (such as Adrien)

What do you plan to Change?

A lot of it! I have completely rewritten the character backstories, have overhauled a lot of their designs, and have given them all a proper personality (not to say they didn't before but now they're more diverse)

I have also changed a lot of things that many of the fanbase just didn't enjoy, such as Chloé's loss of character development, the younger demographic causing certain topics (such as Adrien's trauma) to be extremely watered down, and other things

However as for the main plot of the story, it's still mostly the same in that Marinette and Adrien are Ladybug and Chat Noir fighting against Monarque (Hawk Moth) and Paon Aimant (Mayura) and Lila is still another antagonist (though my version is arguably more terrifying given she actually knows what she's doing)

Any Added/Removed Episodes? Why?

I'm going to be taking something from every episode of the show, whether that be the plot of the episode, the Akuma/Sentimonster, or just certain information but none of the episodes are going to be a one-to-one retelling with rewritten characters

When an episode is used in a way that was more or less what happened in canon, there will be enough changes to make sure I'm not just copy and pasting the episode

Changes to the Heroes or Villains?

When it comes to Miraculous holders? Nope, all Miraculous holders will keep the Miraculous that they wield in canon (With the exception of Zoé who doesn't replace Chloé)

But Akumas/Sentimonsters? Yep! I have quite a few original Akumas and Sentimonsters, though I doubt most of them will get their own chapters since most are going to be used as throw away to further world-building

Any Ships?

Most canon ships will stay the same, such as Adrien/Marinette, Alya/Nino, and Ivan/Mylène being endgame, however a few other ships will happen throughout the story that aren't endgame such as Marinette and Adrien's relationships before they get together

There are also other ships that will happen that aren't canon to the story due to them not having a canonical partner, such as Sabrina

The only canon ship that won't be canon in my rewrite is Félix/Kagami as (while I like the ship) I have other plans for them

On the topic of ships though!

LGBTQIA+ Characters?

Marc, Nathaniel, Juleka, Rose, Max, and Alix, like in canon, are all queer, however a good chunk of the rest of the cast are also in some form queer because 1. I'm following a lot of popular headcanons, and 2. I want them to be

Any Lore Changes?

The most notable is how Miraculous came to be, something that will be elaborated in the story itself, however due to the change in this there are a few changes I've needed to make

The Peacock Miraculous was never broken so Emilie simply died in an accident, this also led me to making Adrien, Félix, and Kagami all humans

I've also changed certain aspects about Guardians and the overall world, such as making certain magical creatures real (namely dragons) and further tying Kwami's and their abilities into real world stories such as the lost City of Atlantis and the Loch Ness Monster

And if it wasn't obvious, I've also changed the lore behind the Kwami's so they're no longer these random magical creatures and instead Gods (which was never confirmed in the show)

Things About Me (The Creator)

Who are you? - Call me Magi, I'm 19, and I use any pronouns

How long have you been in the fandom? - I started watching Miraculous right around when season 2 started, and I've been active in the fandom since around season 3 or so

Why are you doing this? - Because I've seen other people do it and wanted to throw my hat into the ring when it comes to this story

What're your goals with this? - To make the story more enjoyable then what it is currently, especially to the fans who grew up with it and wish it was more mature (such as myself)

Favorite character/Miraculous? - Alix and the Rabbit

One Villain, Two Fake Heroes, Two Real Heroes, One Without a Mask

A prompt based on @zoe-oneesama's Scarlet Lady au and my Butterfly villain and Fox hero Lila prompt.

Instead of Hawkmoth having both the Butterfly Miraculous and Peacock, Lila is the one who wields the Butterfly Miraculous and uses it in conjunction with the Fox Miraculous to become a famous hero by making villains with the Butterfly as the mysterious Empress Viola and defeating them as the Fox heroine Volpina. She would repeat this process with every city her family moved to, and it worked great until her family moved to Paris.

Upon arriving in Paris, Master Fu senses her malicious aura and her Miraculous. Fearing the worst, he sends out the Ladybug and Black Cat Miraculous like in canon. Unfortunately, Chloe steals the Ladybug from Marinette before she can discover them.

Que the first Akuma. Lila was expecting another easy time playing hero and becoming more famous. However, her plans are thrown for a loop when she meets two new Miraculous users for the first time since she found hers.

Now she has to figure out how to get rid of the rookies so she can keep monopolizing the attention of being the only hero hunting down the mysterious Empress Viola. Unfortunately, Paris immediately falls in love with Scarlet Lady due to her Miraculous Ladybug power fixing the city. So, any form of a smear campaign won't help against her. Luckily for Cat Noir, though. Scarlet Lady's arrogant personality causes Lila to focus mostly on putting her down instead of him out of anger and spite.

Cat Noir now has to babysit Scarlet Lady against Empress Viola, with another fake hero secretly plotting his and Scarlet Lady's downfall and berating him for getting in her way since she's the more experienced 'hero' of the three. In the meantime, he, Marinette, and Master Fu try to figure out who Empress Viola, Scarlet Lady, and Volpina are since Master Fu is wary of the fox heroine but unsure how to deal with her.

To add another loop in Lila's plans, you can make it so a different Miraculous puts Emiliee in her comatose state, and the Peacock is fine. So, she could arrive in Paris and begin her latest hero campaign as Gabriel uses the Peacock to start his own villainous campaign to gain the Miraculous and save his wife. Now she doesn't have the luxury of faking or manipulating some of the battles in her favor since there's another villain capable of creating villains. It would also cause Cat Noir, Marinette, and Master Fu to have four people to worry about since they think Volpina and Empress Viola are two different people at the start.

An interesting idea you could do when this story is nearing the climax or to prolong the story into a new arc is to have Gabriel, Lila, and Chloe join forces after Volpina and Scarlet Lady are exposed as the fakes they are. Now, Paon (Peacock Gabriel), Empress Viola, and Chloe, with the newly repaired broken Miraculous in Gabriel's custody, work together to try and bring down the real heroes and take their Miraculous to fix their lives.

Actor au: how do they feel about the kiss scenes and are they awkward

Adrien: … There were some moments back when Marinette and I were Ladybug and Chat Noir.

Marinette: Yeah, it was awkward as hell. And, don’t get me wrong, he’s a great kisser, but there were just zero sparks.

Adrien: Kagami called our kiss, “so-so.”

Marinette: Oh, and Luka? Awesome girl, but same as Adrien. No sparks. I-I just wasn’t feeling anything there.

Adrien: But, when we heard I’d be dating Luka and XY, and Mari would kiss Reshma in one scene, we were pretty happy.

Marinette: And no one get any ideas, it’s just a casual kiss to see if there’s anything there. I think Reshma’s supposed to end up with Kagami or Lacey. That’d be pretty cute, a goth and a prep or a crazy girl and a shy girl.

—

Jean: So… *Giggles* I’m kissing Austin T on screen, and uh… We’re both pretty excited!

Austin T: During the first show, back when we were background characters, I noticed Jean would always be giving me these bedroom eyes, and… *Chuckles* How could I say no?

Jean: Between takes, we’d sneak into the storage closet so no one would hear all the make out noises.

—

Kim: Don’t get me wrong, Ondine is amazing, gorgeous-

Ondine: Same for Kim, but when we were together… Long-story short, I’m a raging disaster lesbian.

Kim: And I’m proud of her for figuring it out.

Ondine: Enough of that, cuz I’m kissing a girl!

Kim: YEEEAAH! LESBIANS!

—

Nathaniel: I’m not sure Marc and I were ever going to kiss in the original show. W-we had all those moments, yet nothing.

Marc: Plus, we were at our fake heights, so we could kiss each other easily. Now I’m all six feet and need to either bend down or pick Nath up.

Nathaniel: When we’re off screen and want to kiss, I’ll put on my Monarch heels so I’m like two or three inches taller.

Marc: It took a lot of convincing the artists to make it so I won’t have on heels as Prince Paon because the last thing I need is to be seven feet. *Mutters* Stupid long legs.

Nathaniel: This is what you get for drinking milk.

Marc: Hey! I like milk.

—

Juleka/Rose: *Casually making out*

Ivan/Myléne: *Casually making out*

Juleka/Ivan: *Reach over and fist bump each other*

—

Ismael: I’m sure you already know Alix, Lila, and I aren’t ending up with anyone.

Lila: And I’m totally fine with that.

Alix: Exactly! We don’t need to be in relationships to have fun. In fact, Ismael and I are showing Lila how to skateboard later.

Lila: And I’m nervous as hell.

Ismael: Hey, hey, trust us. We got you.

Lila: I’m not sure I can trust one of the cast gremlins.

—

Cosette/Zoé: *Casually making out*

Director: Observe the lesbian and bisexual making out after reading the synopsis for the New York Special.

—

Nino: Hey, it’s no different than when we were dating on the original show.

Alya: Except now this guy can’t keep his hands off my hair.

Nino: Because it’s so long and pretty now!

[fanartfunart]

So, I have this question on my head for a long time. What would the plot will be if Felix was the Cat holder in the beginning of the series instead of Sabrina?

Someone said to me this when I ask them what would they think of the idea, Peacock Adrien au.

Why would Amelie and Felix be in Paris? Maybe like they moved there because Amelie was still grieving his husband or something? Or she thinks it would be cool and fun. Maybe Felix can hang out with Adrien more again? Idk

Hmm, good question! especially considering the PV. For Fly Away I'd probably claim Felix & Amelie moved for family, assuming they had a closer relationship to the Agrestes than seems to be canon. Or Felix got sent to the Agrestes while his father was ill and Amelie went on a trip to find something to heal him. One or the other. Felix & Adrien would have a pretty good relationship overall, if slightly tense.

If Felix was the cat holder, Adrien's relationship with him as the peacock holder would be more antagonistic, with both of them being more suspicious. Cat!Felix wouldn't be very nice at all to Paon Lilas. -It's actually part of the reason I chose Sabrina! She's a lot more go-with-the-flow and she's similar to Adrien in her need for an escape from her daily life. So it gives Paon Lilas a friend in the superhero world (if an awkward, hesitant one lol)

[fanartfunart]

!!!!AAA look at them! Your art is so expressive I love it so much. Love the costume designs too! Same hat apparently on Paon Lilas having swooshed back hair and the train lolol. (Not me realizing I totally never described anybody's outfits >w< whoops. But that means I get so see these fantastic designs so, it's all good lol) also is that a butterfly symbol I see on Adrien's shoe?

Fly Away is one of my favourite fics at the moment and I had to draw Adrien coughing his lungs out. Then I stumble upon that it’s updated so I thought I needed to upload my doodles as a thank you for such a beautiful story An attempt at how I envision Feline Sombre (They just sassed the Collector) and Peon Lilas. Will probably play around with way more design ideas, but I constantly go back in my mind of envisioning feline sombre with some tuxedo cat design aspects, potentially backless gloves to look like cat socks and white toes on the boots, and a bow around their neck just like the bow in their daily outfit

kibastray's ask made me think, would Lady Fairy make an appearance during this AU's version of Heroes Day? Or would she come out earlier if she thought she absolutely had to? Also, because unfortunately it is getting to me, would Lila try hurting Marinette when Liela sees that her lies aren't working?

That’s an interesting idea!

I and my friend talking about it, Lady Fairy AU may be ending in Heroes Day.

This’s the big battle, Lady Fairy and the heroes team (Chat Noir, Rena Rouge, Carapace, Queen Bee), The Champions VS Le Paon and… wait

Um… I forget about Ladybug!Nathalie … Okay, I just name her Scarletbug now.

Okay, try again.

Lady Fairy and the heroes team (Chat Noir, Rena Rouge, Carapace, Queen Bee), The Champions VS Le Paon, Scarletbug and the Monsters.

I thought Scarletbug will appear in Collector the day Gabriel realizes that his miraculous book is gone.

Catalyst? Oh, Lady fairy will choose her mother to be Catalyst for that she can make many champions for Heroes Day’s war.

Sorry, I don’t have time for this lol

How Le Paon creates a lot of monsters?

I thinkkk… peahen can spawn the monsters? LOL

———-

Case of Lila, I thought she doesn’t interest Marinette and she can’t lie without proving because Alya is the common champion and the reporter. As soon as she knew the truth from her Lady, She will delete Lila’s Interview clip immediately and verify information every time.

Personally, I don’t like Lila.

More fancy villains au please?

Metamorphosis: Perpare for trouble!

Prince Paon: And make it double!

Metamorphosis: To protect the world from devastation!

Prince Paon: To unite all peoples within our nation!

Metamorphosis: To renounce the evils of truth and love!

Prince Paon: To extend our reach to the stars above!

Metamorphosis: Metamorphosis!

Prince Paon: Prince Paon!

Metamorphosis: Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light’

Prince Paon: Sureender now or prepare to fight!

Ladybug: … Do you have to do that every time?

Metamorphosis/Prince: YES!

Sometimes for the hell of it, they go out transformed. They aren’t doing anything. They’re just walking and talking

It’s the citizens that got a problem. Always staring at them like some attraction

Prince Paon: So, she says… *Notices a lady staring at them* … Uh, can I like, help you?

Lady: … *Looks away*

Prince Paon: Yeah, I thought so.

As fancy villains, they go to fancy restaurants. They drink expensive tea bought with Audrey’s credit card and look badass while sipping that shit

Somehow they sparkle. It’s weird, just… When they pose, there are sparkles coming from out of nowhere

They like to show up where they’re not invited. Imagine the scenes from Cruella where she crashes each event in those outfits

It’s mostly at Audrey and Gabriel’s fashion events. They show up in extravagant versions of their usual outfits and cause a fucking scene amongst all the gaudy glitter and conservative outfit wearers

They’ve never heard of gender roles. Metamorphosis is in a suit and carrying a cane, Prince Paon has heels, a tiara, and a hand fan

And of course, they’re going to show up to events where Ladybug and Chat Noir are invited, just to be little shits since they can’t fight at an elegant black tie event

Prince Paon: Those pigtails make you look five.

Ladybug: You motherfu-

Prince Paon: *Smirks* Language. Let’s not upset the Prime Minister.

Chat Noir: Easy, m’lady.

Metamorphosis: So, is that leather suit like a kink for you?

Chat Noir: Say what, motherfu-

Metamorphosis: Oh, is that the President with his five year old niece?

Prince Paon: *Whispers* We could do this all night, motherfuckers.

Disaster Gays when they’re not Distinguished Gay villains

Marc will never forgive himself as Prince Paon for flirting with Nath. Fortunately, Zoé knows not to make that mistake… Maybe

The worst excuses to transform

Now, as for why they are doing this… Spite. They want to spite the Bourgeois family, Gabriel Agreste, Lila Rossi, The Austins minus Tomassian, Lucien Rebois, and anyone else they don’t like until they crack and end up in a mental ward

As you can see, they have a very valid reason to be villains

Next on their list is Tomoe. She’s had it too good for too long

Marc goes feral when he hears about Nath’s ex, and Zoé is considering a pyrotechnic Akuma to take care of Cosette’s family. They’ve also had it too good for too long

They’re the people who walk away from an explosion and look badass as they put on a pair of shades

Episode 8: OozerLord

Ao3

(Féline Sombre & Paon Lilas designs)

Summery: An AU where Adrien never went to in-person school, not getting the cat miraculous, and found the peacock miraculous. - Ladybug tries to get Paon Lilas to let her fix the peacock miraculous.

-

 “How can I get any of this!?” Marinette whined, holding the translation and decoding notes of the spellbook up over her head. “Molten Gold? This is crazy!” She groaned and let the booklet drop on her head. “We’re never gonna be able to fix itttt. I can’t even convince Paon Lilas to give me the miraculous in the first place. Do I throw a molten potion at him?”

 “Perhaps you can tell him the recipe?” Tiki offered, “If he won’t let you fix it yourself.”

 “Isn’t that against keeping this secret?”

 “It’s more important that Duusu’s miraculous is repaired.”

 Marinette sighed, putting the books away. “What if he can’t get the ingredients? It’s not like I can assume he’s got enough money for molten gold. I don’t even have enough money for molten gold.”

 “I’m sure you can figure out something!” Tiki cheered, “You’re smart Marinette, you’ll find a solution eventually.”

 “I guess… Thanks Tiki.” Marinette glanced at her clock and gasped, becoming a hurricane of movement in her room, “No more overthinking that today! I might actually get to school on time if I hurry!”

 “I could,” Ladybug leaped backward, “have” she ducked, goo whizzing past her head, “actually” she swung her yoyo, “been” it connected to the akuma’s goopy head, “on time” she pulled it back, flicking off the slime, “for once!” Féline Sombre used her baton to push Ladybug out of the way of another sticky attack. “But noooooo,” Ladybug whined, leaping onto the baton, “we just had to have an early-morning goo-kuma!” Féline vaulted her up into the air. Ladybug spun her yoyo to create a shield, and in this case, a drill, as she tunneled in to the center of the goop.

 “Cataclysm!” Féline exclaimed. They leaned on their baton, just beyond the edge of the mass. “If you told me what school you go to I’m sure I could find you the purrfect spot to detransform before class. I did it with my school.”

 Ladybug groaned, utilizing her lucky charm slingshot to shoot a dinosaur-egg grow capsule towards Feline’s waiting hand, the object turning to ash. The Akuma fluttered out. “And if by chance, we went to the same school, it’d be too easy to accidentally find out who I was.”

 Ladybug shook off the slime, capturing the butterfly.

 “I guess… Just trying to help. I hate being late.”

 She sighed heavily, “I’m chronically late anyway, it might be more suspicious if I started suddenly being on time all the time.” She threw the slingshot into the air, “Miraculous Ladybug!”

 The cat hero walked over to talk to the Akuma victim, so Ladybug was free to scan their environment.

 “Hey, bug, aren’t you late?” Féline Sombre asked, “I can get Jay here home.” They tilted their head towards the kid, smiling.

 “Huh? Oh, I- …Right, thanks. Just keep an eye out for Paon Lilas ok?”

 “Paon? Oh, yeah, he hasn’t shown up in a while huh?”

 Ladybug frowned, “He hasn’t… I’m-”

 “Worried?”

 Ladybug scoffed, “What? No? No. I’m just- I can’t convince someone to let me help them if I don’t know how to reach them, now can I?”

 “Ah, right, right. Can’t convince someone to give you their miraculous if they don’t show up. Maybe we should follow his lead and just stop showing up! Maybe Hawkmoth will give up."

 Ladybug glared at them. The cat hero laughed, “I wouldn’t actually do that! I’m closer to chaotic good, it’s totally against my alignment, I’m not evil.” The kid next to her laughed.

 “And you’re not a roleplay character either!”

 “How would you know?” Féline grinned, and patted the kid’s shoulder, “Go to school, Ladybug! Come on Jay, lets get you home, wanna ride on the baton?”

 Ladybug’s earrings beeped over the child’s response and she shook her head, rolling her eyes, “Yeah yeah, I’m going, I’m going.”

-

 Adrien sighed, glaring at the camera installation man rather pointedly through his window. This was just absurd. Home security was one thing, having cameras in his sneak-out spots was another. Really, why the hell did they put a camera in front of his window? It’s just looking out to the neighbor’s roofs.

 The man seemed to notice Adrien’s glaring and nervously smiled at him, waving. Adrien blinked, putting on a smile.

 “Oh! That wasn’t- er- Thinking too hard about a math problem, sorry!” Adrien lied, vaguely gesturing with a random piece of paper on his desk. He turned away from looking at the window and the offending camera, and covered his face with one hand, acting as if intently focused. “Duusu I’m going to go crazy. Are you sure I can’t start going out again?” He whispered sharply.

 “You’re still ill,” Duusu said softly, “It’s not getting better.”

 “It’s not getting worse?” Adrien said, with a strained smile.

 “Maybe you should go visit your friends!” Duusu cheered, “Seeing my friends always made me uuper-dooper happy happy!”

 “Your friends? Who’s that?”

 “The other kwami!” The little peacock twirled a little, beaming, “Tiki and Plagg and ….uh… Pollen! and …. I… forget.”

 “You… forgot?”

 Duusu chuckled, “It’s been a while since I saw all of them, it’s probably nothing.”

 Adrien sighed, “I’m sorry, maybe we can try and figure out a way for you to see them?”

 “Oh only Tiki and Plagg and… butterfly… Nooroo! Only Tiki, Plagg and Nooroo have holders right now and you don’t know who they are so I can’t.”

 “Oh,” Adrien sighed heavily, glancing at the camera installation man as he climbed down his ladder, leaving behind that camera. He frowned, “We should try and figure out who Hawkmoth is. If we can do that we can tell Féline Sombre and, ugh, Ladybug, and get Nooroo back. Then you can at least see Nooroo. I uh… I guess I could give you to Ladybug if that means you could see your friends.”

 Duusu frowned, “You’re my friend too!” he cried, tears in his eyes. Adrien blinked, softening into a smile.

 “Yeah, same to you little buddy,” he chuckled as they put their foreheads together. His forehead was getting a little wet with kwami tears, but friends were for this kind of stuff, right? Huh… Maybe he really did need to talk to some more friends.

 “How about we go out for a walk? The school is out for lunch soon, right? Dad never comes to lunch anyway.” Adrien spun out of his chair and got his bag.

 Duusu whooped, giggling as he followed Adrien, slipping into the messenger bag.

-

 “Thanks for having me for lunch!” Adrien said, walking alongside Marinette, Alya, and Nino.

 “No prob bud!” Nino said, elbowing him, “Finally I’m not surrounded by girls!”

 Marinette snorted, very inelegantly, “Hey, you chose to hang out all the time with these girls!”

 Nino shrugged, “Just sayin’ it’s nice to have a bro around too.”

 Adrien chuckled awkwardly, looking at his feet.

 “Don’t listen to him,” Alya said, putting an arm around Adrien’s shoulder, “How’s it been? Last I heard you still had a nasty cough. The tabloids are obsessing. One thinks that you’re dying.”

 “Really? Father never lets me read those.”

 “Ugh, don’t read them, they’re horrible, I don’t know why Alya reads them.” Marinette rolled her eyes.

 “Girl you read them too!”

 “I’m using them as fashion inspiration and scrap paper,” Marinette huffed, giggling, as she opened the door to her parent’s bakery, gesturing her friends in. As Adrien passed, she grinned, “Did you know you’ve apparently had 3 girlfriends at once?”

 Adrien coughed a laugh, “Wait, what?” The startled laugh seemed to trigger a coughing fit. Forcing him to bowl over himself, wheezing on coughs.

 “Ohmygosh, sorry-”

 “No-” he coughed again and rubbed his forehead, “No it’s fine… That’s crazy though, given I have never had a single date in my life. Lucky for those girls, though.” He chokingly laughed, shrugging.

 “Hey kids!” Marinette’s father waved cheerfully, his gaze halting on Adrien as he straightened himself out, “and Adrien? Didn’t know you were joining everyone.”

 “I had some free time before lunch,” he found himself giving a far too practiced smile as Tom Dupain scrutinized him, cleaning a particular part of the counter a bit too long.

 “Well lad, pleased to have you! I can make you something fresh if you don’t mind a little wait?”

 Adrien shook his head, “My lunch break is an hour long and I can afford to dip into my piano practice.”

 “It’s settled! Here,” Tom handed him a croissant with a smile while the others took their own bag, thanking the baker with a nod. Adrien shuffled through his pockets for his wallet and Tom just shook his head, pushing the boy up after the group of friends.

 “You’ve got your lunch scheduled, even though you’re homeschooled?” Nino asked as he looked back towards Adrien as they went up the stairwell.

 “Uh, yeah? Pretty much my entire day is scheduled. Natalie takes care of most of it, and I have photoshoots and everything. Without my schedule, things can get hectic.”

 “Gosh, I’m sure,” Alya said, “I’m glad I finally created a schedule for the ladyblog, otherwise I think it’d take over my brain entirely,” She made an explosion sound and motion with her hands.

-

 An hour and a half came and went far faster than Adrien expected. He found himself walking back towards the school with the group, laughing along with the others at the silly impressions Nino and Marinette had taken to making at each other.

 He sighed a truly smitten sigh as he watched Marinette pretend to be some stereotypical waiter, putting a finger to her face as a pretend mustache. It was adorable.

 Alya gave him a weird look, which led to him giving her a ‘what’ look right back. She rolled her eyes, shaking her head. He frowned. What did that even mean? Did he do something wrong?

 A kid screamed. All of them turned to look, gasping as a large mass of ooze rolled over the street. “Oozerlord” was back.

 “Again?” Marinette groaned under her breath. She pushed them all into the school, “Get inside, that’ll be safer,” Marinette raced off far ahead of the rest of them, disappearing into another room. Adrien frowned. She must’ve had a bad encounter with this akuma earlier.

 “Come on, let’s find a good place to take a video!” Alya exclaimed, racing off up the stairway, pulling Nino along with her. In an instant, Adrien was alone, standing in the very school he wasn’t allowed to go into. Suddenly …forgotten. For a moment, he felt very small.

 Duusu peaked out slightly from his pocket, whispering softly, “They probably didn’t mean to-”

 Adrien shook his head and ran off to find a proper hiding place, “I’m fine. It’s fine,” He turned into a cleaning closet before Duusu could protest. “Duusu, spread my feathers.”

-

 Paon Lilas leaped off the roof, landing across from Ladybug with a dramatic twirl.

 “Hello Bugaroo, excited to see my beautiful face again?”

 She looked up, wide-eyed. Her focus cracked and burst into a confusing muddle of emotions. She refocused, brows furrowed, before he could wade through it all. Ladybug smirked, sharp and antagonistic, “Finally decide to join us again Lilas? Where were you this whole time?”

 “Aw, the Lady missed me,” Paon mocked, scooping a kid out from the path of the Oozerlord.

 Ladybug rolled her eyes, annoyance seeping from her. She frowned as she focused on the ooze in front of her. “I don’t see the original akumatized object… There’s too many new things it’s swallowed.” The ooze stretched a blast of goo towards her. She leaped out of the way, running a circle around it.

 “Why were they akumatized the first time?” Paon asked, leaping up as the akuma sent an attack towards him.

 “Why?” Ladybug halted, frowning, “I… Don’t know?”

 Paon Lilas gave her a wide-eyed stare, “How could you not know?!”

 She huffed, getting frustrated, “Sorry, feelings are your thing! Not mine!” The akuma changed shape, growing, transforming into a dinosaur. It roared. Ladybug startled, “That’s new.”

 “You and Féline caught it early the first time.” Paon Lilas shrieked as the goosaur tried to bite him. Ladybug yanked him out of the way with her yoyo. She grinned at him, proudly. Lilas rolled his eyes, huffing as she released him from the strings. Ladybug gasped and ducked, pulling him with her, as a tendril of goo swept over her head.

 Paon Lilas huffed, shrugging her off. He rolled forward, chasing the akuma. Ladybug raced after. He tilted his head as he noticed someone else following the akuma as well. The woman was shouting after it, terrified, frustrated. Paon Lilas tilted his head. Maybe-

 Ladybug swung around onto a roof slightly before Oozerlord, shouting “Lucky Charm!” The magic produced a badminton racket. Ladybug tilted her head. She shrieked and ducked as a goosaur tail swung towards her.

 Féline Sombre dropped onto a roof nearby, waving enthusiastically towards Paon Lilas. “Looks like our old friend got an upgrade. Got a plan?” She asked.

 “I do,” Ladybug said.

 “I think so,” Paon Lilas said.

 The pair glanced at each other for a moment, frowning. “I need someone to distract them,” Ladybug said.

 “Got it,” Féline said, leaping into action. Ladybug leaped after, directing Féline to cataclysm a beam.

 Paon Lilas huffed. Watching the akuma continue to rage through the streets. Fine, if Ladybug didn’t want to explain her whole plan, he’d just do his plan. He plucked a feather from his fan and imbued it with power. He sent it to the woman. “Hello, I am Paon Lilas, I can help you turn your emotions into aid in the form of a sentimonster.”

 “My son!” the woman screamed, “He got akumatized again!”

 Paon winced, “Please don’t shout, I can hear you just fine. That’s your son? Do you know why he’s akumatized?”

 “They’re just toys!” she agonized, “We’ve been cleaning his room, getting rid of old stuff, I don’t understand!”

 Lilas glanced over towards the collection of toys that were in the center of the goo. He tilted his head, “I think I understand. Is there any particular toy he wanted to keep?”

 “Huh? There was this old headless plastic dinosaur. It’s broken I don’t get-” Lilas tuned the mother out, watching as Ladybug struggled to corral the ooze towards a drain. Oh so that was her plan. He smiled. “Ma’am, will you help me?”

 “Of course, I just want my son back!” He felt a strange tug in his chest at that… He blinked. Jealousy? He wasn’t jealous. He shook his head. His powers must be getting affected by the broken miraculous. He shook his head and focused on what he needed to create.

 The sentimonster appeared with a swirl of magic. The plastic senti-dinosaur matched Oozerlord in size. He coughed, stumbling. He groaned, all too aware of the rattling in his chest with each breath.

 The sentisaur gave Oozerlord a hug with its small arms. The gooping creature relaxed, almost melting into the embrace. “Of course!” Ladybug exclaimed, she threw the badminton racket to Féline, “If you would do the honors, Kitty?”

 Féline tied the racket to the baton, using it to smack the old headless plastic dinosaur out from the center of the ooze.

 Paon Lilas heard the usual final moments of an akuma battle. Ladybug’s usual shouts. The usual sound of magical butterflies returning things to their original locations. Paon Lilas opened his eyes (wait, when did he close them?). The woman was hugging the young boy, the Sentisaur standing over them, tail curled around them, protectively, lovingly. Féline vaulted behind a building, the sound of a beeping miraculous disappearing with her. His vision swirled as he leaped down towards the family. He barely caught himself as he hit the ground. With a dramatic bow, he pretended it was on purpose. Ladybug frowned at him, bubbled with worry. He ignored it.

 “Are you okay?” He said softly.

 The kid nodded.

 He suddenly felt awkward. Paon bit his lip as he tried to think of a way to explain why he wasn’t just running off like usual. “What’s your name?” He decided to start with.

 “Jay,” The boy said.

 “You know, I have an old stuffed kitty hidden away in my closet. He’s missing an eye and half his fur is missing. I got it from my mom.”

 Mother and child looked at him, curious.

 He leaned in, conspiratorially with Jay, “I heard your mom tried to get rid of some of your old stuff, must’ve been hard.”

 “I don’t wanna get rid of any of them,” he whispered, pouting.

 “They must’ve given you a lot of happiness. Letting go of them must’ve felt like losing that, huh?”

 The mother seemed to understand, a little ‘oh’ expression on her face. Jay nodded, frowning.

 Paon Lilas smiled slightly, standing up, “Maybe, you could spend some extra time figuring out how to say goodbye to the toys that need to go, and which ones you can keep somewhere special.”

 “Oh, that sounds like a good idea,” The mother said, “Right Jay?”

 He nodded again, “Yeah… okay.”

 Paon smiled, and walked over to the sentimonster, patting its side, before snapping his fingers, releasing it. He caught the feather and fluttered it against Jay’s face, making the boy giggle.

 Ladybug placed a hand on his shoulder. She smiled, looking at him strangely. “Sorry, but, we need to talk.” Paon stiffened. He forced a smile towards the family, handing the feather to Jay. she grabbed him around the waist and pulled them up onto a roof. Away from prying ears and away from anyone who could defend him, but still in perfect view. Trapped.

 "Was that story about the stuffed kitten real?" Ladybug asked, a hint of suspicion bubbling around her. Why did that matter?

 "Er... Yeah?"

 “You almost fell back there,” Ladybug said suddenly, worry seeping into her voice.

 Paon shrugged, playing casual, “Just tripped up. Didn’t pay attention.”

 “I know your Miraculous is broken.” Oh, so that’s what she was worried about.

 “How did you-”

 “Tiki figured it out.” She paused, seeming to mentally shift through his words. “…You knew? And kept using it? Do you understand how dangerous that is?” Paon Lilas winced at the flare of anger. He took a step back. Ladybug caught his arm, “Wait!      Please     don’t run off. I can fix it.” He stared at her, wide-eyed. Could she really- “I just need you to give me the Miraculous, there’s a potion I can make-”

 “What? Give it to you?! No.” He yanked himself away from her, putting cautious distance between them. “Duusu wants to stay with me, you can’t take him. You can’t!”

 “Your kwami isn’t in his right mind with the miraculous broken. It’s the best way-” Ladybug moved forward, brows furrowed in frustration.

 He took in a sharp breath, stumbling backward. Misjudging how far the edge of the roof was, he fell. Ladybug gasped, and caught him with her yoyo, pulling him up. As soon as he regained his footing, he doubled over, coughing.

 Ladybug frowned, folding her arms.

 He closed his eyes and took in a breath, “Duusu stays with me.” He fixed her with a glare. Ladybug glared right back, stubborn.

 Ladybug caved. She sighed, waving a hand, “Fine, fine. I’ll give you the recipe. It has… some expensive ingredients, so-”

 “Money won’t be an issue,” Lilas said with far too much conviction. Ladybug tilted her head. He felt a rise in suspicion. He put on a playful grin, “I’ve got my ways and connections.” He shifted, turning serious, “I want to help Duusu. He’s my friend.”

 Ladybug sighed, hearing her miraculous beep. “Meet me on the Eiffel tonight, I’ll be able to give you it then.”

 “I’ll meet you at the Eiffel,” He huffed, making a running leap off the roof.

-

 Marinette sighed as she walked back into the school. Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted a figure on a roof. She turned, tilting her head as she noticed Paon Lilas standing on the roof, looking hesitant. “What’s he doing?” She whispered under her breath.

 “Marinette! Did you see? Look at this video I got!” Alya exclaimed, running towards her. She glanced at her friend, smiling, before glancing back at where the peacock holder had been. The spot was empty like he had never been there in the first place.

-

 Adrien clambered over the edge of the wall.

 “Careful,” Duusu cried out. Adrien slipped, gripping the edge.

 “I’m being careful,” he struggled for a foothold on the wall. Duusu gasped, slipping into his pocket. “What?” he whispered.

 “Good Evening, Adrien,” Natalie said.

 He yelped and slipped, falling onto the ground. Natalie caught him before his head could hit the ground. He chuckled awkwardly. “Uh, hi… why are you out here, Natalie?”

 Natalie sighed, bringing him to a stand. She pulled out her tablet, showcasing the surveillance camera’s view of them. “Sneaking out again?”

 “Sneaking in, technically,” Adrien whispered.

 “Sneaking in either direction isn’t good, Adrien.”

 He sighed, hanging his head, “Sorry. I know, I know.” He sat up, dusting off his clothes, trying to sneak a reassuring check on Duusu.

 “I don’t think you do. Given you keep doing it.”

 “You wouldn’t even know about it if you didn’t have all these new cameras in,” Adrien grumbled under his breath.

 “It’s for your own safety,” She said, turning on her heel. She looked at the schedule, shuffling things around.

 Adrien glared at his feet.

 “I suppose it’s a good thing you’re sneaking in rather than out,” Natalie said, “You have a photo shoot soon.”

 He sighed, walking after her. “Are you going to tell my father?” He muttered.

 She paused for a moment, glancing at him. She hummed, “...I don’t believe he needs to know about this one time. But I will advise you to stop making a habit of running off.” Her voice softened, “It’s scaring us.”

 Adrien nodded, rubbing his arm, “I’m sorry. I just… I wanted to see my friends. But they uh…” he felt lightheaded, his stomach churning slightly at the thought of being suddenly alone. He shrugged, “I don’t know if they really want me around…”

 Natalie sighed, “Not all friendships are built to last,” she said.

 Adrien’s phone buzzed. He tilted his head, glancing at the message.

 Marinette: “Did you get home alright?”  

 Adrien smiled softly. Maybe at least one of his new friendships was built to last.

-

 It was dark, the moon hanging over the horizon. Paon Lilas was there before her. He was dangling his feet off the edge of the Eiffel, humming. Ladybug swung up onto the landing, securing the yoyo around her waist.

 "That's dangerous, you know," Ladybug scolded before she could help herself. That was the wrong way to start this. The boy stiffened.

 He continued to sit there anyway. He looked out at the skyline. “Lovely to see you too, Buggie,” He muttered sarcastically. “So, a potion?”

 “Right, of course,” Ladybug smoothed out the paper, and handed it to him, “You can’t tell anyone what’s on that.”

 He nodded, looking over the list of items. “Thank you,” he muttered, huffing like it hurt to say.

 Ladybug crossed her arms. “If I’m going to let you keep the Peacock Miraculous, I need to know your identity and you need to tell me how you got it.”

 Paon Lilas stood up. He didn’t look at her. “And if I don’t?”

 “If you want to work with us, I need to know I can trust you.”

 “I don’t trust you,” Lilas said, turning on her. “You’ve been trying to take this Miraculous from me ever since you first saw me! You’ve just switched to a new strategy because I won’t let you!”

 “I’m trying to do the right thing. I don’t get you! You’re so selfish! None of this is a game! Maybe you are related to Hawkmoth! Did your mom forget to teach you not everything you decided you want is yours?”

 He rushed towards her. She gasped, grabbing her yoyo. He slid to the floor, using the fan to knock her yoyo off course. He kicked her feet out from under her. He knelt over her, glaring down at her, holding the fan against her neck like someone might hold a sword or knife. He was tense, a snarl on his lips. But there was a shine in his eyes, a knit in his brow. A moment of hesitation. Ladybug felt almost lost, trying to comprehend the intense look in his eyes. He was so close, but somehow the thought that he might yank her earrings from her ears was the last thing on her mind.

 “Don’t you dare speak about my mom ever again,” he whispered harshly. “You don’t know her, and you don’t know me.” He pushed her against the floor as he stood back up. Ladybug lassoed him with her yoyo, leaping into a stand of her own.

 She took in a calming breath, “I’m sorry, I just… I saw how you talked with that boy, I don’t think you’re working for Hawkmoth anymore… I-”

 Paon spun, leveraging the fan between the yoyo’s rope and himself, ducking out of the loop (Had he practiced that before? That looked practiced). He kicked her. “You thought I was working for Hawkmoth!?” He leaped up onto the railing, “I’m done.” He jumped, using his cape to slow his descent.

 Ladybug raced up to the edge of the rail, nearly following him. She took a step back, sighing.

 “Well, that was a disaster.”
