Have you thought about doing a crossover between your Counselor AU and Nerdasaurus1200's Ghost Bug AU?
Funny story, in a way, a lot of the previous holders that I mention in my fanfics are inspired by Nerdy! But if the crossover were to Happen within the Counsellor Universe...
- At first, it honestly wouldn’t be that much of a difference. Carmine wouldn’t be aware of them ‘ghosts’ until Adrien would tell her about them during his magic training, and she couldn’t see them because she wasn’t wielding a Miraculous.
- after she finds out about it though she figures out people’s identities very quickly before of the muttering under their breaths.
- It becomes very awkward when she suddenly hears Nathalie talking under her breath...
Nathalie: “I know, I know, but trust me, I know what I am doing, and I won’t let him succeed-“ *stops when she sees Carmine looking at her with a deadly expression*
Carmine: “Nathalie... we need to talk.”
- That doesn’t mean certain Ghosts don’t recognize her, or at least her family traits.
- As previously stated, Carmine has an ansestor who was a wielder of the Bee Miraculous, Brice Regal, during the medieval period, saw the hair and the feel of magic and was like ‘oh by the gods were still around!’ He gets doubly excited when he hears how Chloé talks to her often, and whenever they are all in the room, Brice just acts like a proud grandfather, pointing and stating ‘That’s my great-Great something granddaughter!’
- This does cause Chloé to feel slight subconscious, thinking that maybe the comb should go to Carmine but all the ghosts shot that down right fast.
Amalie: “She would not do well with the Bee comb.”
Chloe: “But She would be an excellent hero!”
Artemisia: “Perhaps, But not a Bee.”
Brice: “I have to agree. She does have the traits to be a good hero, however the Bee would be a poor choice for her. She would focus too much on trying to help everyone and would end up neglecting the hive.”
Chloe: “... so you guys are saying I’m just selfish enough?”
- Carmine May have a few ancestors with other Miraculous, but since she doesn’t actively go out to akuma battles they don’t see her.
- When Adrien is sick, Carmine Agreste’s to become Bombay to keep Ladybug safe, and puts the ring on, than becomes deathly quiet when she sees all the appear before her.
Felix: “Thank you for always looking out for my grandson... I appreciate it greatly.
Alexander Hamilton: “Yes, And thank you so so much for helping today, my good lady.”
Carmine: “.... Adrien, was I just thanked by Alexander Hamilton?”
Adrien: “Yeah, they’ve also heard you sing ‘Helpless’ and ‘Congratulations’, But there is no time for that, Ladybug needs you!”
