Well, I'm back at it again- with more hyperfixation brainrot and nonsense. I realize I havenโt actually started writing anything; at least in the form of a fanfiction because most of the ideas are larger projects and will take time to complete. Though I know people are interested- the fandom hasnโt died, so I figured why not treat the audience?
To summarize again, Secret Origins is the five-part series ft. the first interactions with the main fandoms of this idea. Before their alliance, they werenโt even aware each other existed- that is until a vacation trip by the Fentonโs to Paris, France changed everything. And that is where our story begins.
Fair warning: Iโm going to try and avoid spoilers- as I want this to be a new experience, even though obviously Iโm not the first creator of the Secret Quartet but whereโs the fun if I just reveal everything in one go?
The Kwamis have been there since the very creation of the universe. Each of them represent a different core concepts and abstracts, and work alongside a selected hero to protect their chosen home. They are divine beings with special powers, to say the least; currently not all of the Kwamis are in use- the active heroes are predominantly in Paris, France, but what they donโt know is that another world is hidden under their very eyes
Unlike Amity Park, Paris does not have as many ghosts- though none have ever seen one to begin with; this might have something to do with the fact that the Miraculous canโt cause any damage unto the ghostly population - only to humans - at least as far as anyoneโs concerned
Natural portals have been known to appear around the world, but not everyone knows where to find them. Normally, theyโre harmless- but at the same time, itโs entirely possible something unwanted comes out through the other side
Ghosts do have haunts and obsessions; normally their obsession is based on unfinished business they didnโt complete in life- other times, itโs more based on a duty they feel obligated to complete
Haunts however, are areas they have claimed as their own. While it isnโt as commonly known, ghosts are considered to be territorial- they will defend their haunt no matter what (authorโs cut: in Dannyโs case, since heโs only leaving for a week- Sam and Tucker are being left in charge of watching over Amity Park; also i do feel that because Dannyโs still human, he doesnโt fully need a haunt- but he is still protective of his the city)
(implied spoilers!) there are safety mechanisms (of sorts) in place when a hero with magical abilities is gravely injured- do with this what you will for now
Akumas canโt affect ghosts! It wouldnโt transform them- it can however, work on other things (iykyk- leaving this vague for the time being)
Character Dynamics + Headcanon Dump
Iโm honestly excited for the first meeting between Danny and our Parisian heroes- (without giving away too many spoilers, letโs just say thereโs going to be a bit of miscommunication at first)
Due to plot-related reasons, the characters in Paris can speak English. There would be classes to teach English at the high school-
Phan Noir is not a ship tag- at least not for this AU. Danny and Chat Noir however, will be close friends- not only because of their share of puns but honestly I feel they would understand each otherโs, well, problems. Is this a bit self indulgent? Maybe, whoโs to say
Marinette is not stalking Adrien in this; sheโs still pining on him a little bit, and does keep the occasional tab on him but sheโs not chasing his every move- however, sheโs still young and a bit inexperienced which brings me to my next point
I havenโt figured out the full timeline- but I do think that Mariโs either already the guardian, or her responsibilities are increasing with her status as Ladybug; now the deal with this is Mariโs proven to be a bit anxious- she takes her role very seriously, and honestly this will hinder her at first
Gabriel Agreste is not written to be a good person. Does he love Adrien? Iโd say yes, he does but at the same time- heโs not meant to be likable. His pursuits arenโt done with anyoneโs best intentions, and this is going to be addressed (of course this is fanon- and this is my au, soโฆ in short, donโt take this wrongly-)
As mentioned before, Phantom Planet does not exist in this timeline- this does happen sometime between mid-season two (maybe somewhat later) of Danny Phantom. Danny has his experience but he is still a teenager- and not all of his powers have fully developed. After all, not much is known about halfas
Danny is getting something of a makeover- is it a bit self indulgent? Yes- I honestly liked his style from Phantom Planet, though Iโm mostly referring to the white streak in his hair. His eyes also appear a bit moreโฆ bright even as a human; though Iโm going to spare the whole redesign/makeover rant for now-
I feel Marinette and Danny might take a while to warm up to each other, but theyโre not exactly enemies- the differences in personality sort of hinder their dynamic at times, though at the end of the day, they would protect each other
For the time being, i canโt say anything on the villains- as this is a big thing that will affect the full team of teen superheroes. Hints and revelations are going to be made as the series progresses
Danny struggles a bit with his emotions- the more emotional he becomes, the worse his powers get out of control. Heโs still adjusting; heโs gotten better but at the same time- heโs also a teenager and this will show with his behavior
Adrien is not a sentimonster. Will sentimonsters be a thing? Potentially- though as of right now, sentimonsters arenโt inherently canon to the Secret Origins lore
(authorโs cut: Iโll update this later! Of course- right now this is only limited to Danny Phantom and Miraculous Ladybug; as more gets developed with later parts and arcs, Iโll add more details)
There is definitely a lot more where this came from but as Iโm out of the house and currently having lunch! See you on the flip side!
