#kwami swap kind of
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 is stuck as Lordbug
- he like has temporary partners
- like Rena Rouge
- and Carapace
- 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 soin 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
- so Gabriel backs off
- 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 lifehe 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
- heneedsher
- 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
- and they’re so happy
- Chat Noir and Coccinelle are the new heroes of Paris
- Neither could be happier
- CocciNoir is trending
thanks to Alya and her blog- Adrien and Marinette get even closer than before
much to Alya’s delight- 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????
