okay so i had like a fever dream or something and now its an au i guess idk what im doing honestly
for reasons let’s say this happens early on in the first season
Marinette’s identity is compromised so she gives her miraculous to Master Fu
Chat gives up the cat miraculous and becomes Lordbug
everyone knows that it used be Chat Noir
but since the ladybug miraculous is the only one that can purify akumas
and since Ladybug can’t exactly be a hero anymore
he like has temporary partners
and he vents to Marinette, not knowing she was Ladybug, about being a hero and how tough it is
and she feels so bad leaving her partner like that
but she had to, she was comprimised
Adrien becomes guardian after the Volpina akumatization
with Adrien being the hero you can imagine how that went
Adrien, no longer Chat Noir and no longer partners with Ladybug, moves on to a new blue haired blue eyed girl ;)
and Adrinette becomes canon
Gabriel tries to split them up
however, Adrien is more assertive now that he has all of the support and companionship of the kwamis
and because he’s just so in love with Marinette
so he threatens to ruin the Agreste brand
and Gabriel calls him out that he wouldn’t dare
but Adrien tells him off with the utmost grace in the most polite Adrien way
After that he gives Adrien more freedom because he’s scared of tainting the Agreste image
one day Lordbug is visiting Marinette
and tells her that Ladybug will forever be his biggest what if
because he like never really got closure about all of it
so Marinette breaks and tells him
Adrien wants to believe it so bad
So he takes off his earrings in front of her and tells her to transform
it’s Marinette he trusts Marinette with his life
he can trust her with his secret
so she transforms and it feels so good to say Tikki, spots on
but she can’t dwell on that
Adrien pleads for her to come back
his lady, his princess, his Marinette
she tells him she can’t, that her identity was compromised
he tells her that she can get a new name and a new suit
he just needs to have her with him
he’s the guardian now and he was never more himself than when he was fighting by her side
and she agrees to be his partner again
so now she has the ladybug miraculous and he goes back to the cat miraculous (Plagg has never been happier)
he grants her co-guardianship and she’s a hero of Paris again
Chat Noir and Coccinelle are the new heroes of Paris
thanks to Alya and her blog
Adrien and Marinette get even closer than before
people, of course, ask if its a new Ladybug
and it kind of is, Marinette isn’t really used to being a hero
she stopped for so long, and before she stopped she didn’t have her miraculous for long
so, while not even really lying, they say yes
idk what this is but like have i guess????
