#reverse chloé

[fabseg-creator]

What if Reverse!Chloe is actually a good girl who loves pranks but she didn't know her funny pranks actually causing Emonette to suffers like that? Can't believe I got this idea inside my head

Like Canon!Kim ?

In the Re-Verse, the charity and solidarity (as public actions) are forbidden by the Supreme.

After the Shadybug's and Claw Noire's redemptions (the two villains turned into Ladybug and Paw Noire), Emonette (with the support of Alya and Emodrien) will talk with Re-Verse Chloé about her latter's behavior and pranks. So Chloé will accept to apologize (at the unknownledge of Supreme's radars, spies).

And Marinette and Chloé become (girl/y?)friends.

Miraculous Reverse

Lore/fix/expansion/headcanon

Tackling that one out-of-place name drop and turning it from something boring and repetitive(in an otherwise really fun plotline!) into something more fitting. Like or hate her, having Chloé just be Marinette's bully in the reverse is just dull. It also goes against the overall theme of similar-but-different.

So, in trying to keep canon in mind, but twisting it up, I present to you:

Emonette's bully is actually reverse!Zoé- hear me out.

Reverse!Andre is an iron fisted tyrant. Reverse!Audrey is a harmless vapid party girl/trophy wife. Andre still very much abuses his power and Audrey is still very much a forgetful/neglectful mother.

Zoé is still the product of infidelity. It's not so much an estranged wife stepping out as a naive/foolish girl seduced by Mr. Lee. When André finds out too late, he is livid. Audrey goes 'to the country' until her 'health improves' and baby Zoé is tossed into the public welfare system.

Meanwhile back at home André is utterly embarrassed by the whole scandal. Chloé, already not something either parent was really interested in, is kept confined to the hotel and not spoken of. She becomes something glimpsed by guests out of the corner of the eye; there and gone. A rumor/urban legend starts about 'The ghost of LeGrand Paris.'

Back to Zoé- due to a social worker being careless with paperwork, and Zoé being an advanced reader for her age, she learns early on about her 'real' family. She is instantly angry as only a child can be. She should be rich! She should have power! She should have it all!

For the next several years she is a terror for foster families, orphanages, and homes for problem children. It gets to the point where she is returned to the Bourgeois(at least until Andre can fight the legal system again). Once she's there though, André doesn't know how to handle her. He's surrounded himself with sycophants for a decade. Someone who stands up to him with his own level of belligerence is alarming. He resorts to ignoring her/avoiding her and letting her do whatever provided it doesn't cause him more problems.

When Zoé meets Chloé(around 11-12 yrs of age or so), she sees someone with the life she was denied... So she takes it. She takes Chloé's name and enrolls herself in school. She claims to be the 'Ghost of Le Grand Paris', who was sickly growing up but is healthy now! She's out, proud, and taking everything she wants. This includes dominating the school, ruling as Queen, and taking out her personal anger on that easy-victim emonette.

I want to stress this is a *starting* point. This is a setup. This is where the narrative begins. Zoé is still in part wearing a mask, one she forged herself im childhood based on what she thought *should* be.

Chloé isn't some perfect angel. She's a recluse, unsocialized, isolated. (Think Mary Lennox from the Secret Garden) and libel to be a touch cross if her very tiny world is upset.

This whole thing is meant to blossom out, be discovered, and provide for some great narrative hooks.

Instead of just boring 'Chloé bad.'

Prompt Idea by @i-like-anything-water

Um um reverse au by @lulu33-art

[i-like-anything-water]

Imagine if reverse!Chloé wasn't even a prep but had the full on flannel and doc martens fit. She's also toned (as in body type) for personal reasons such as hhhhhhhhhnggggg. "Who are you" "I'm you but gayer"

Shadybug is fighting for her life at the sight of this rebellious runaway girl being so ready to fight or kiss her it's insane

anon that's another amazing take at reverse! Chloe.

Shadybug is fighting both her demons and homosexual thoughts when reverse! Chloé casually jumps away during an attack while giving her a quick glance, shrugging and seemingly effortless running that's on par with them.

And Jesus Christ, those arms and legs. Makes her consider villainy as a side hustle and being a useless lesbian a full time thing.

[segundaii]

Ok, so i was thinking about the paris special and chloé and like, what if reverse!chloé is mean like the special confirmed, but unlike canon!chloé shes the extremely rules-adherent class president archetype and she bullying marinette consists of going overboard reprimanding her for not adhering to a enforced dresscode and being late all the time

[katzebruh]

Omg i would love to hear more about your kwamii swap au!

Oh, you're unleashing a beast. I don't know how to shut up about it, I'll try to keep it to the point without senseless yapping akjdkac

- I call it my "Accidentally Swapped AU", basically Marinette and Adrien were supposed to get their original miraculous but Master Fu accidentally gave them the wrong boxes

- The love square isn't reversed, Marinette is in love with Adrien, and Mr. Bug is in love with Lady Noire. (Though neither is taken to the extreme the show takes it, they are just regular kids with crushes) Not are their personalities, I've never understood why in so many swap AU's they change their personalities (No shade!! It just was never my vibe) Mr. Bug behaves like Chat did at first, he sees it as freedom, though in my AU with time he tones down quite a bit. (I actually did write a lil fic that shows their dynamic a bit, I'll upload it at some point on AO3)

- Lady Noire overall just isn't having a good time to be honest, I'm making public opinion be a bit harsher, people are easily influenced by fear and destruction can be pretty scary (It gets better though, but I just really like angst)

- Season 4-5 Chloé doesn't exist because what the hell was that

- Lila is a menace, but not because everyone drops their IQ when she's around (I refuse to make Mari's friends believe Lila so easily like in the show)

- My AU is more focused on Marinette because she's just my favourite, considering how goated she is in the show I wanted there to be an actual reason for it so I absolutely just bs'd up an explanation and made up a thing called a "True Holder", which is what Marinette is. It's why she didn't just cease into dust when using so many miraculous at the same time, and why she doesn't perish (although there are serious consequences) when unifying Plagg and Tikki. Other holders can still unify but not everyone, and for a very limited amount of time, I didn't like how they established that unifying was this big deal then everyone could casually do it so I wanted to change that

There's so much more but I fear I'm going into yap territory rn, I'll answer any question about it though! Well to the best of my ability, I don't have this written down anywhere

[maddascanbe-blog]

Huh, I expected to get my drawing of Teen Zoé done for the redesigns first. Oh well... Only Kwami-swaps of the Lifeswap AU!

Meet Amaranth and Cerastes!

For no reason at all I decided to give Swap-Zoé long hair and Swap-Chloé shorter hair. Which is the exact opposite of my normal redesigns for them.

André won the custody battle for Zoé, and put his best foot forward into raising her and Chloé. Zoé is similar to how she is in cannon, late season 5. But she still learned how to mirror people, convincing them to lower their guard around her. She is a politicians daughter after all, and having people on your side is most important when convincing people to follow you. Zoé ultimately wants to do good for Paris, and is good friends with Ivan and the other members of Kitty section due to their activist mindsets.

Zoé's biggest fear is the secret of her being not André's biological daughter coming to light. He told her when she was 13 because he worried her biological father might try and regain custody in order to extort André for money. He made it clear in no uncertain terms that she is Zoé Bourgeois, the youngest of the family, Chloé's sister, and his daughter.

While she is happy André won't give her up for anything, she finds a new resentment for Audrey. And lives in fear this will harm her father's reputation, change how her relationship with her sister works, and effect how her friends see her, should it ever come to light.

Chloé's know for years that Zoé was the result of Audrey's cheating, she knew that one of the contentions during the divorce was that Audrey was barely in Paris the entire first 2 years of Chloé's life. The math didn't math, so she pieced together the truth. This only added fuel to her burning hatred for Audrey, Zoé is her little sister.

As Amaranth, Zoé makes her voice Heard! There is no stopping her once she's set her mind to it. I based her outfit on a womens power suit, and those asymmetrically colored biker jackets.

Juleka meanwhile, grew up with Anarka. She remembered her brother from when they were little, and is a tad horrified at who he's grown up to be. With Luka gone, Juleka lost her spark and her voice. She almost never talks, and doesn't stand up for anything. She just goes through the motions most days. Anarka tried to bring that light back to her daughters eyes, but every step forward has two steps back taken by Juleka's bullies. Being a quiet kid, who's mom can't keep a job, wears hand me downs, and whose dad ran off didn't leave much to be desired when it came to options of being harrassed.

Finally Anarka broke and asked Jagged to let the twins reunite. She hoped this might be a chance for Juleka to find herself again. And while Luka had changed too much from her caring and strong twin, she did find Zoé, Marinette, Adrien, and the members of Kitty Section.

Do you remember Juleka helping Zoé dye her hair in Sole Crusher? Well this time it happens in reverse. After getting comfortable with the group, she approaches Zoé about getting her hair colored. Naturally, Zoé's gotta help her girly out.

After Luka is deemed no longer suitable to be a miraculous holder, Ladybug and Chat Noir decide to give Juleka a chance. Cerastes isn't flashy, or confident. She's stealthy, sharp, and attentive.

Juleka's spent years just adapting to new situations and learning to read people for the sake of surviving, and it comes in handy when it comes to figuring out Akuma's.

Unshockingly, Luka isn't happy to see his miraculous used by someone else, though it does take a while to get there since Cerastes doesn't even get properly seen for ages. She's very good at disappearing.

Anarka is so relieved that Juleka finally found her people, that she's even willing to stay in Paris to keep her close to her friends. She still struggles to keep a normal job, but anything to see her little girl smile again.

MLB SIMULACRUMS OF LUCK

Prompt by @sillysiluriforme, full list here: 🦋

Death smells like roses. Pins and needles in her lungs, stabbing, poisoning her physical body as much as she poisons the emotions of the world around her. The ground of the hotel staircase is cold and in desperate need of a vacuum. Or in this case, several body bags. A girl in limbo, screams out, yet unheard, a sound that no one can physically hear. It’s like when trees fall in empty woods. No one is here to listen to the sound, nor is alive enough to hear it. Here they are useless to the world now. Limp bodies filled with purple perfumes of poison. However, far enough away, this deadly aroma smells like roses. Roses mixed with a metallic tone while rot waits its turn. Even if it is not the cause of death, blood still pools by her. But it is not her own blood. A fellow guest to the charity event was midway down the stairs when she inhaled the fatal fumes, before collapsing down the stairs and splitting her head on the cold and harsh ground. The princess has no need for these guests. To her, they would be such pitiful servants, unworthy to even worship her. Especially Chloé Bourgeois. The Queen is dead, all hail the Princess. However, death can be a joke in the face of a scélérat. Elsewhere outside, the heroes of Paris declare a “Miraculous”! After freeing the princess from the butterfly inside her, the small spirits of the bugs and felines fly and climb their way into this fatalistic hallway. The cats look down and enter into the lungs of the dead, and into their veins, pulling out the poison in their system. It was painless but they were still dead enough to not feel a thing, including Chloé Bourgeois. The ladybug spirits patiently wait for the cats to finish cleansing the bodies whose times haven’t truly come yet. And when they do, they switch in, returning the blood to their rightful veins, returning the oxygen to their lungs, reversing their visit into the afterlife. Chloé jolts awake, a gasp of stale hallway air entering her lungs, yet no longer feeling the pins and needles that scratched her throat in the seconds she felt before. Did she know she died today? Did she know she was like a zombie came back to life? It doesn’t seem like she does, lessons don’t tend to stick to her. After all; this scélérat’s driving emotions was her fault, still. This resuscitation was not be the first for the people of Paris, and it will not be the last either. The heroes at least quickly learned not to take this part of their recovery process for granted. But that doesn’t mean the citizens won’t. Even if she died, Chloé did not learn a thing today. What will it take for her to learn, then?

[booksrbetterthanpeople]

Headcanon Scene Request: What actually happened in "Volpina" is that the rest of the Akuma Class humored Lila's lies with a fake smile and a "oh that's nice". They didn't believe her for a second and just didn't care enough to call her out on lies that were so obviously bs. Marinette assumed they were on her side despite Alya repeatedly stating that they "just don't care".

This feels like a reverse au of Volpina now that I’m reading it again

Rose: Can you believe Lila said she knows Prince Ali? And that she flew in his private jet with him?

Chloé: Ugh. If Jagged Stone’s writing a song about anyone, it’s me.

Nino: Apparently, Lila knows all of the Hollywood directors. Even promised she'd mention me to Steven Basielberg himself.

Marinette: *Rushes to Alya's side* Lila?

Alya: Yeah, she just started at our school. *points to Lila, who's on the second floor of the school with Adrien* Yeah, I threw her a bone, let her give me an exclusive interview for the Ladyblog, 'cause apparently, Ladybug saved her life once. Good for her.

Marinette: Who is this girl and what is she doing next to the love of my life?!

Alya: Girl. Chill. Adrien literally just met Lila. He’s probably being nice and showing her around.

Marinette: This is super bad, what if Adrien totally falls for her?! I've never flown in a private jet; nobody's ever written a song about me; and I don't know a single person in Hollywood! Adrien will forget I even exist!

Alya: … Mari, I think we need to have a talk.

*Lila guides Adrien along by the hand*

Marinette: *gasping* Where are they going? Alya, we've got to stop them!

Alya: Okay, you need to chill out. Look, Lila REALLY wants her video posted, I gotta make it seem like satire, like a joke video. *Drags Marinette to the classroom with her*

Marinette: What's going on? I mean has this Lila girl hypnotized everyone or something?

Alya: What the- Okay, we’re seriously having a long talk later.

Kim: About what?

Marinette: Lila is lying to you!

Kim: Oh, you caught on, too? Yeah, she said she’d introduce me to some Olympic swimmers. They’re dead, so she obviously doesn’t do her research.

Alya: Kim, get this. Our dear Marinette thinks we actually believe Lila.

Kim: What?!

Myléne: Did I hear that right?

Ivan: Please, think better of us.

Max: Marinette, we all know Lila’s lying. We just don’t care.

Marinette: B-but she’s a liar! She needs to be stopped!

Nathaniel: Why? She’s not hurting anyone; she’s just desperate for new friends.

Alix: *Laughs* Nath!

Nathaniel: I stand by my words.

Marinette: She’s probably laughing behind your backs right now and lying to Adrien so he’ll be impressed by her-

Alix: Ooh! That’s what this is about. You’re jealous.

Marinette: Excuse me?!

Ivan: First. Don’t yell, please. Second, her talking to Adrien seems to get under your skin more than her lying to us.

Juleka: Damn, Ivan.

Ivan: What? I’m right.

[princess-of-the-corner]

You know what could've made Zoé more interesting?

Introduce her as an ANTAGONIST right as Chloé starts becoming a better person, as a reminder of what Chloé USED to be like.

Just as another supporting character for Chloé's arc.

Then, we gradually see more of her, and understand something: Being Audrey's favorite wasn't any better than being her reject. It was JUST as harmful to Zoé as being rejected by her was for Chloé.

She starts out as a replacement flat character, until it becomes clear that she's just as much of a traumatized mess as her sister is.

See I think there's three ways they could've utilized Zoé and the arcs better

One is the above where she's there to show Chloé making progress.

The second would be a reverse which. Is what Canon was /trying/ to do reL Zoé is Good and Chloé is Bad, but actually explore it and show the active choices and improvements of having them start in the same spot but end up going different ways instead of just. You're inherently good or bad and can never change that.

Thirdly would be similar to the first but have a post-redemption!Chloé see Zoé being like her Season 1!self and both contrast them to show how much Chloé changed but also reinforce the lessons learned by having her help Zoé the way the rest of the class (should've) helped her.

Miraculous fanart: Reverse Chloenette/Queenbug/Honeybug/ShadyBee

I've made a new Chloenette fanart.

It happens in the Re-Verse. We can see Marinette/Ladybug (formerly Shadybug) and Chloé/Honey Bee hang out together.

@luluy33art If you see that, it's a dedication.

Original sketch (no filter and without the édits on phone):

[luluy33art]

I liked the second one better-

[generalluxun]

Was it you who suggested Chloe had maybe died unseen in previous Akuma attacks, cos given how often she's targeted I am just imagining this:

I had a reverse!AU scenario like that.

Shadybug actually kills Chloé (her tormentor) before going on the mission for the Paris special. After the special she is of course wracked with guilt(having reformed) but... The next day Chloé shows up to school as normal...

You see Audrey is a good servant of the Supreme, so when one of her things breaks, the Supreme provides a (senti) replacement.

Cué a psychological drama where Shady questions her own sanity, not only in the initial killing but, both Audrey and the Supreme are very willing to use the senti-Chloé as expendable in schemes so Shady gets to see her die again, and again, and yet always return even without the miracle cure.

In fact, the miracle cure doesn't work(canonically it doesn't bring back sentis unless they need to be brought back because plot 🤣) so Shady's having even more sanity bending trauma.

And of course, Chloé never has any idea anything is wrong...
