How would you rewrite the Scarlet Lady AU - or just write a Ladybug!Chloe AU?

Those are two different questions:

Scarlet Lady comes from the premise that Chloé gets the miraculous and should not have it. If we work with that premise the key would be turning down the abject salt.

It's fine to have her be bad at it. It's even fine to have the Ladybug taken away from her eventually. I'd alter the arc in couple ways though:

1)She can't be the *only* person who is an exile, because that just makes the salt obvious. So at least one person needs to never give up on her. Power of love so strong and all.

2)Focus it on suitability. Yes definitely you can have fun with her bad traits, especially early on, but it has to *go somewhere*. So pick something she *is* good at, even if it is something she doesn't value and turn that into the eventual goal/objective miraculous wise. She will learn to accept and be rewarded for learning how to use her strengths to help instead of just trying to dominate.

3)Ultimately, as it is a magical girl show, teamwork and community are the goal. If you keep this in mind then the rest writes itself.

Now, a Ladybug!Chloé is very different. You start with the goal of keeping her as Ladybug, so you need to find her strengths. I'd go with organizational skills. She *has* obsessively studied to be more like her mother who is a successful businesswoman, no matter her personal life.

Her weakness is she confuses the visual aspects of 'bossing people around' with the practical aspects of organization, she can be infuriating and screw things up when she focuses too much on control and centering herself. Her lucky charms try to steer her towards teamwork as best they can. (Tikki is trying)

The arc is about two things. Firstly Chloé learning via Ladybug to be a *good* leader (unlike her father!) and then when she tries doing this in civilian life we have a reverse arc where the class has to learn that she can be right/effective about the things and that she might be changing.

The long term arc is about the difference between assuming authority based on intrinsic value (birth/nature) being wrong, and being awarded authority based on performance and(nurture) being better.

What are you most excited about that's coming up in your au's? I like your rabbit Marc a lot.

awwww thaaaaank ye i love Wonderland a lot too

uhhh lets see, in my AU's....

well today i was mostly messing with my akuma city one, but since we both like Wondieboi, lemme tell you about my current block with his story

okay so, i am torn in which direction i wanna take it, that is legitimately the only reason i haven't posted more about him, and considering he's a rabbit i could technically just like, do every route, show every possibility

A Few Choice Endings Below Read More

Really Happy Go Lucky Ending: Marc returns to his little parisian suburban cottage and forgives Nath for hiding things, they cancel the divorce, they live happily ever after....... its nice but like, it's not much of a story, its more of an already healed story and those are short and sweet

More Realistic But Still In The End Happy Ending: Marc returns after he calms down and they try to talk things out but he can't help but get angry again because he lost. his. sister. (non biological) because of Nath's inaction. And maybe there's a hatefuck or a crying fucking and they're just messy and all that. That's a good story, it's a relatable one (if you ignore the magic), you could include rebuilding of the world in there since ya know, no ladybug, could even throw a funeral if i wanted. This could easily turn into any ship.

Also More Realistic But In The End an UNhappy Ending: He doesn't calm down first. He throws the rings, he has a good cry in the burrow, and he's right back seconds later Nath's time, starting a fight immediately because how DARE you hold something so secret when you knew all of his secrets, how dare you not tell him when something was going on that he could have prevented. This story would hurt and you would enjoy it. Again, any ship possible. Could become a toxic yaoi with nath offering anything and everything to make marc feel better, could end with marc deciding he needed to turn his hate to marinette's actual killer, adrien, whom he's always had a crush on but never acted on because marinette had shown interest once

Much Less Realistic Version With Major Misunderstandings But Inevitably Happy Ending: Marc takes plenty of time to calm down and give nath time to calm down and a few months later, after running around timelines and worlds trying to find some joy, he returns to their cottage and he's ready to talk and he sees a small child in the garden and the child looks at him, brown hair, turns around and calls "Daddy! There's a bunny in the garden!" and Marc looks in the direction they called and sees a shock of red hair and he remembers his hair is black and yes Nath is trans but he had very clearly told him No Children once and Wonderland runs before Nath can get closer and he could see that it's an older Nath and he got out too far in the future. That would be a story of figuring out misunderstandings had happened, forgiveness had happened. It would be fun and you'd want to strangle the lad but its okay, he'll get there eventually.

And then....

My Realism Be Damned This WIll Be Unhappy For The Sake Of Ending: this is where I would introduce his evil rabbit self, a right and total bastard that well, you see.... at the end of the posted ficlet, bunny!Marc had THREE (and a half) Miraculous on him.

Rabbit

Black Cat

Half a Ladybug earring...

and the Butterfly.

The Mad Hatter is a Rabbit + Butterfly duo and I can easily edit his timeline to let him have the Cat too. Just imagine the destruction he could create

And his only goal? Destroy everything after taking everything from Nath, everything he ever loved or will love, and go back through his timeline from childhood on and just ruin him

All while working with older Mad Hatters, up until the oldest Mad Hatter. Presumably his plan works and the universe is destroyed and that's why there's no Mad Hatter older than a specific age

I've actually written quite a bit on this one if ya want?

[noirshitsuji]

this feels like cheating because it isn't a secret that I can never shut up about the catacombs-cataclysm scene in wild hearts, but oh well. also, if phrases count, add Plagg's acronym (and characterization) in the hanahaki AU and Chloé's character analysis of a sentence in the Lukloé wedding fic, I will never be normal about any of them <3

<3 <3 <3 hold on let me plug them all real quick since you've given me an opening

the enemies au one shot with the catacombs-cataclysm scene

the crack ls hanahaki au with the longest acronym ever (that the author knows of) where plagg is the best AND worst matchmaker

the lukloe wedding with luka musing on what chloe loving ppl is like

Submitted Prompt: “Jealousy Stings”

Edited a bit

AU wherein Master Fu decides against giving the Black Cat Ring to anyone right at the start, since he knows that both the Ladybug and Black Cat Miraculi are required for making a Wish.  Therefore, he reasons that it’s not a good idea to reveal that they’re both in Paris.  After all, he has no way of knowing just what Hawkmoth knows, or what he’s after… but best to exercise caution.

Still, the Ladybug remains the best possible counter to the destruction wreaked by akuma, thanks to the Miraculous Cure, because if you have the ability to magically bring people back from the dead, you’’re pretty much obligated to.  And he dislikes the notion of letting anyone fight alone. If he were younger, he would do it himself, but he is disabled with his old age, and can no longer transform.  So rather than entrusting the Ring of the Black Cat to anyone, he gives Adrien Agreste the Comb of the Bee instead.

-

Sadly, it doesn’t really matter what Miraculous Adrien has; he swiftly proves to be a poor partner regardless.  Still treating his newfound responsibilities (which he accepted willingly) as nothing more than a game, harassing Marinette and insisting that they’re “meant to be together”, regardless of whether she wants a relationship with him or not.  Calling her “my queen” along with “my lady”, often sarcastically, in response to her attempts to get him to work with her.  Claiming to be her humble, loyal servant in mocking mimicry of Pollen, while proceeding to ignore her wishes and do whatever he pleases.

Things only get worse when other heroes get involved.  Adrien doesn’t respond well to the prospect of ‘his queen’ having other defenders – why, having competent assistance just makes him look bad!  And while he could respond to this by shaping up and pulling his weight more, Adrien prefers to invoke seniority, insisting that he’s Ladybug’s only Real partner.

For further complications, one could throw in the idea that the Black Cat Ring actually counters the Peacock Pin by having it where the power of Destruction can deal with amoks/sentimonsters more effectively.  Meaning that when Mayura comes into play, so does the Ring of the Black Cat, with Master Fu and/or Marinette selecting somebody to wield it.  That really doesn’t go over well with Adrien, especially when he learns about how the Ladybug and the Black Cat are counterparts, being Creation/Destruction and all.

Does Adrien develop the same ridiculous belief that the Ladybug and Black Cat are ‘destined’ to be together?  Or does he see the new hero as a threat simply because they exist?

Or does the Black Cat Ring never become a factor at all?  Is it simply a matter of Adrien’s 'heroic’ alter ego wearing out his welcome by being an entitled little brat who refuses to treat his partner or anyone else with even the most basic respect?

[critical-thinking-is-mandatory]

This is completely minor but Chloe's dad should've lost the election so that someone competent could be in charge. He still would've owned the hotel but it would have taken away the hold Chloe seemed to have on everyone because of her status. By taking it away, she would be more likely to face consequences for her actions and probably be humbled by the experience. Rather she gets better isn't on anyone and Marinette is definitely not obligated to be friends with Chloe because of it.

That'd be such an interesting turn of events! Like Bourgeois loses his seat as Mayor and so Chloe doesn't have that extra leverage.

I mean, idk that someone competent specifically would end up in his place, because that's politics babey, but maybe if Ladybug endorsed a candidate she believed in? But also idk that Marinette wouldn't feel like that was cheating in some way 🙄.

But yeah it'd be good to see Chloe lose some of her power, even if she did end up leaning on daddy's wealth more instead 🤔 but who knows, maybe it'd be the kind of event that teaches Chloe that you catch more flies with honey than vinegar.

heyo @helstoneart-2 at last, i was able to get to your request, what i have for you are Kagami, Marinette, and Alya. Hope you like it!

[madbug]

Concept: its Halloween. Alya goes as Ladybug. Adrien goes as Ladybug. Marinette goes as Chat Noir and Nino goes as Carapace.

Lucie Lapine AU

Do Chloé and Alix share the rabbit miraculous in the future or does Alix wield a different miraculous?

Hmmm…

I imagine the Lucie Lapine AU being a kwamiswap! AU between her and Alix. So yes, I do like and support the idea of Alix holding the bee miraculous. So with that said, Alix would be…

🐝💛Yellow Jacket💛🐝

A few thoughts:

I imagine her design being somewhat similar to her form as Timebreaker, but has more of the color scheme and design as Queen Bee.

Yes, Yellow Jacket has skates. Nuff said.

Her with a helmet to hide her identity instead of a mask would be pretty cool too.

Like Queen Bee, Yellow Jacket will sting, where it hurts. However, it will probably will be much worse 😨

Yellow Jacket is pretty handy with the top.

Sometimes, Yellow Jacket’s words towards Hawkmoth stings more than her attacks.

Chloe is a fan of Yellow Jacket. Ever since she saved her that day, she had the jock (yes, she’s clearly a jock and heroine) in her mind.

So yeah, it’s official. Alix Kudbel is the bee miraculous holder Yellow Jacket in this AU!

She’s so ready to kick butt too…
