Updated Protagonist List

I'm going to add images to this, so it's going beneath a readmore for length reasons

Wardens

Aridhel Mahariel - bow rogue, romanced Zevran, straightforward dalish who neither understands nor cares about shemlen (or durgenlen) politics, blood magic is probably fine as long as you use it responsibly, anxious and blunt. "Let's focus on stopping the world-ending plague of darkspawn first, and worry about the rest of this bullshit later, hm?"

Saffron Cousland - sword and shield warrior, romanced Alistair, noble in every sense of the word but cheerful and friendly, Queen of Ferelden, Arlessa of Amaranthine (and Highever), killed Rendon Howe with her father's sword, fixated on duty. "Because it's the right thing to do."

Theodore Amell - arcane warrior mage, romanced Morrigan, bastardization arc powered by Morrigan whispering bad ideas in his ear, loves his terrible witch girlfriend, blood magic is fine and the chantry is oppressive, ambitious. "I am no longer baby, now I want power."

Renan Tabris - dagger rogue, romanced Leliana, exactly zero patience for shem politics, raised Andrastian (derogatory), canonically kind of a bitch, evil sense of humor, loves her stupid new shem baby brother, harden everyone, distrustful. "Like dogs, Shianni."

Valda Aeducan - two handed warrior, romanced Leliana, honorable and serious, trusts no one, girl raised in harsh political nonsense learns to trust her found family and forgive her bio family while unlearning bad lessons simulator, sneaky/quiet sense of humor, intense loyalty to her people, values tradition but values compassion more, genuinely regrets what happened with Trian. "For the honor of my house, though I myself have neither house nor honor."

Emmaera Surana - blood mage spirit healer, romanced Alistair, fey and strange, sweet but a little out of it, she and Merrill would get along so well because they both just say what they mean, falls for Ali like a ton of bricks after trusting him exactly 0% at first, has a council of spirits that advise her, definitely more than a little possessed, Templars aggro on sight, besties with Morrigan. "The Chantry won't tell you anything useful about the Fade, but I could. If you want."

Ashaterylen Mahariel - champion fighter, loves Morrigan but it's complicated, aggressive and no-nonsense, adopts Alistair as her comic relief to fill Tamlen's shoes, Not Okay™ but doing a good job regardless, my only warden who straight up dies, but we still get Kieran because magic, rather laconic, probably my most heavily headcanoned origins character. "Duty trumps sentiment. Every time."

Hawkes

Iris Hawke - knife rogue, romanced Anders, diplomatic but also way too intense for her own good, loves mages so much, circle mage Bethany, will do anything to protect what's left of her family, noble impulses but awful sense of humor, fanatic, very angry underneath her shell of politeness, diplomacy as a tool. "Why don't we try asking the Arishok nicely?"

Ian Hawke - elemental mage, romanced Fenris, sarcastic, sided with the templars because magic is an essential part of him but it's brought nothing but grief to him and his family, templar Carver, quip for every situation, never loses his positive outlook for long, self-loathing but doing his best not to make that everyone's problem. "Dad did WHAT for the Wardens? Why am I not surprised."

Kiera Hawke - two-handed warrior, romanced Isabella, sarcastic → aggressive, sad bastard warrior Hawke, everyone who gets close to her dies, Bethany dies, good attitude wrecked by the wear and tear of life, loves her buddies who are also terrible, angry and broken. "You tell me where Bartrand is, I'll help you wring his fucking neck"

Alice Hawke - knife rogue, romanced Merrill, circle mage Bethany, p much pure diplomatic, diplomacy as a way of life, mom friend central, no one is irredeemable, far too trusting, kind of a busybody, always thinks she knows best. "Clean your blades, watch your purse strings, don't be a dick."

Delilah Hawke - entropy mage, in love with Varric, pure sarcasm, sends Carver to the wardens, adores her stupid chaotic bisexual family, beat down by this world but stubbornly clinging to joy, flat refuses to talk about her problems. "Where would I be without my trusty dwarf?"

Quinn Hawke - blood mage, romances Anders, red from the beginning, low-key an asshole but also high-key he just doesn't know how to communicate, oldest sibling syndrome turned up to 11, inspired by Harker Zevsurana's Kier, fuck you mage rights. "Well, shit."

Andy Hawke - force mage, romances Anders and Fenris (it's complicated), strong purple laugh-or-cry type, so many canon alterations but the twins both live, grows a lot over the course of the campaign, big fuck the chantry, uses their staff as a polearm bc they're not great at magic, easily my most headcanoned Hawke. "Have any of you guys considered having a normal reaction to anything? Ever? Didn't think so."

Inquisitors

Miriani Lavellan - assassin bow rogue, romanced Solas, confused hardass Dalish girl doing her very best to navigate suddenly being in charge of all of this stuff, cares so much about everyone all the time, terrified but resigned to her responsibilities, self-sacrificing, sense of humor buried under all that sincerity. "I am the Inquisitor, through no virtue of my own. Vir suledin nadas."

Asher Adaar - two-handed warrior, romanced Sera/nobody (bc I meant to romance Sera but didn't know the right dialogue options so I kept waiting for it to pan out and it just sorta didn't), blunt and direct Tal-Vashoth mercenary who gets persuaded that maybe she actually is the herald of andraste, but honestly just wants to handle the things with as little religious and/or political nonsense as possible, blunt and violent. "We save Thedas TWICE, my hand wants to kill me, we save the exalted council specifically, and this is what we get?"

Stephan Trevelyan - rift mage, romanced Cassandra, a good sweet Andrastian boy, true prophet who has a meltdown when he finds out about Solas, best friends with Dorian, keeps the inquisition and wants to really save the world, a genuine idealist, stubborn AF. "Faith is a choice. The Maker set these events in motion so long ago we can no longer see His hand in them."

Samahl Lavellan - tempest knife rogue, romances Dorian, cheerful, sarcastic, and overwhelmed, insanely competent but good at hiding it, terrible little bastard, hates responsibilities, laughs in the face of danger (and Cassandra), keeps insisting he's not the Herald, kinda lazy. "I guess I'm learning now, aren't I, Mother?"

Riska Cadash - artificer knife rogue, romances Sera, direct and sometimes brutal but ultimately caring, criminal upbringing noble fashion sense, besties with Blackwall, andrastian and confused, consistently astonished by how easy it is to get things when you're the most important person in the world, one of my younger inquisitors but she doesn't act like it very often, really only when she's with Sera. "What's the worst that could happen?"

Dahlia Trevelyan - mortalitasi lightning mage, romances Blackwall, cheerfully irreverent young noblewoman flexing the edges of what she's allowed in this new role, filled with chaos and violence and entitlement. Fully does not believe in the Maker. Classically beautiful but with blue-gold eyes that go past "striking" into "genuinely unsettling" and, she caught some shrapnel from a spell gone wrong with her face a few years back so she's got distinctive scars. "Hey, look, at least dragons are real."

The Trio (all of whom have individual playthroughs but also come as a set)

Isene Lavellan - fire/rift mage, romances Iron Bull, primarily jokes and asks questions, basically a horrible mix of Miriani and Samahl. Sweet and a bit of a brat but ultimately up to the challenge. A disaster at the winter palace. Her general response to her workload getting heavier is to adjust the straps that hold the world on her back and carry on with a smile. "Bull, remind me why I accepted this job? Oh, right."

Harea Lavellan - knight enchanter and ice mage, romances Cullen, open minded and sweet, a bit naive but genuinely wants to make the world better, distressed by the mark and the everything but willing to bear it to keep others from suffering. Self sacrifice is a big theme here. Just a little (read: protected like Wynne) possessed by the actual spirit (of Wrath) who was attendant upon andraste, so she is quite literally the Herald. "No one is irredeemable!"

Rogelan Lavellan - sword and shield warrior, romances Josephine, kind of a hard-ass but willing to be romantic, would rather talk than fight but won't give up his ideals, careful and deliberate in everything he does but bold when he's made a decision. Stoic and pithy, but can be eloquent if he needs to. Understands shem bullshit better than most, because he's the kind of guy who studies the things that scare him. "Tell me how to help."

Continuities

Primary "Cannon" Continuity - Aridhel, Ian (or Iris), and Miriani - Protector, Catalyst, Survivor

Strong code of honor - Saffron, Iris, and Asher - Shield, Dagger, Sword

Fucked Up Andrastians - Theodore, Kiera, Stephan - Ambition, Sorrow, Faith

Terrible Senses of Humor - Renan, Alice, Samahl - Vengeance, Kindness, Laughter

Wrongest Choices - King, Viscount, Divine (I haven't actually made this playthrough but is a male rogue cousland, probably a guy Hawke as well and obviously not a mage but idk what class, and fem warrior Trevelyan)

Dwarf Run - Valda, Delilah, and Riska - Honor, Love, Trust

Definitely Not Possessed - Emmaera, Quinn, and Harea - Council, Temptation, Authority

Three Inkies - Ashaterylen, Andy, Rogelan/Harea/Isene - Sacrifice, Victory, Vigilance

Damn. Finally ! They did it !!

At the very least, if our girl Io as a bad and not at all happy ending, she can have her first actual orgasm. And for that, I'm happy.

Like all of your readers, I feel the need to tell you how much I love Fosco and Ludwika. Fosco especially since after the death of Io's baby, when he is (almost) the only one who cares for her pain, that allow her to not hide her grief. And of course Ludwika because fuck Otto. I hate this old man almost as much as Aemond.

Thinking about him, I liked Aemond at first, but after each chapter, just as we discover more about Io thanks to her blossoming relationship with Aegon, we also see the actual piece of shit Aemond is. That being said, I have to admit, I also have (had) a little bit of sympathy for him. Because of his family, he wasn't able to marry the woman he loves. What would've happened if he had married her ?

Now, considering Aemond's personality, his obsessive tendencies, the way he behaves with Io, I cannot help but also think that even if he had had the choice, he wouldn't have actually marry Alys. Or least, not if he was running for president. He is so obsessive in the way Io should conduct herself, present herself, the way she should act, the way she should dress, the things she should talk about, with whom she should talk... Literally everything she does, she does for him and it is him that tells her what to do. Io is very limited on what she can and cannot do. Aemond will not allow any leeway. Everything has to be perfect.

So, I cannot help but think that even if he was allowed to marry Alys, he wouldn't have done it, just because he knows the way she would have presented herself to others (as per Aegon description anyway). If I'm right about this, it makes him even worse, and the little sympathy I had for him when learning he was not allowed to marry his love... well, now it's gone. He's just the worst at doing the best. And now, like everyone else, I root for his demise.

(As a side note, I have to say I really like the way you were able to portray Alys and give her a her witchy vibes, just like the book !)

This chapter, actually this chapter and the previous one, had the tension mounting and rise and now, I'm repeating myself but I'm kind of afraid for Io. Especially because of the last thing Aemond says. Also for my beloved Aegon...

Anyway, thank you so much for this chapter, you did a phenomenal job as always.

Take care ! 💕

Bestie, thank you so much for reading and for taking the time to write this wonderful message!!! I adored reading it, I even got myself a little snack to enjoy and made an event out of it. 😂

I agree with your interpretation of Aemond and Alys. Aemond's family would have never allowed him to marry her, but furthermore, marrying Alys doesn't fit into Aemond's own plan. Even in Aegon's retelling of how it all went down, Aemond fought with Viserys and Otto to KEEP Alys as his mistress, not to MARRY her. Based on her Ouija board love note (they are such freaks, omg 😂), Alys is totally a believer in Aemond's divine destiny to become president, and so she understands that how she can best help him in that endeavor is to stay in the shadows and be his private refuge, not his public wife. If Alys wanted marriage, she wouldn't be Aemond's true soulmate, because she'd be sabotaging what she knows he wants most.

I can't wait to show you Chapter 10!!! Stay tuned for some breaking news... 👀

i am back in my reading era and i know that probably none of you care but i want to write down my thoughts on stuff i read in a previous month <3 i'll probably forget to keep up with this either way!

in march i started acotar, it was okay, a bit meh tbh. and looking back the first book seems more like a first chapter to the whole story.

acomaf was better and acowar just pissed me off and i kind of can't wait to read about nesta in the next books. i like her and i don't get the hate she's getting! she's so real! rhys… yeah… i'm giggling and kicking my feet but also ??? mf invented feminism and idk how he is treated like this incredible ruler while his court is divided in three and it's all a mess. i'm not gonna get into political side cuz obviously no one cares!

overall i just wanted to say that i get why people like this series but i do not understand how many people especially grown women can say it's the best thing they've ever read? doesn't make sense to me but go off! plus im happy my friend and i read it together so i have someone to complain to. if i didn't have someone to vent to i'd lose my mind.

me and my bestie also read bride by ali hazelwood… bitch… it was the worst thing i've ever read. so lazy and stupid and annoying! i hated everything and everyone in it! again i refuse to believe y'all love her books! i'm being constantly lied to by the booktok girls and goodreads reviews!

on a bright side i also read my husband by moud ventura! 5/5! really good! i'm a simple girl! i just love a book about a mentally ill woman!

this one is embarrassing but i also finished unfurl by elodie heart. it was just porn. with priest kink. don't ask. it is what it's supposed to be and i liked it! catholicism, sex club, virginity and all that jazz! so real!

that's it. now im reading happy place by emily henry (i like it a lot so far) and one dark window (so good! hope it won't disappoint cuz i thought i didn't like fantasy very much but turns out i'm a fantasy girl and i just want something actually good after acotar…)

Scarlet Lady: Volpina

Directory - Simon Says

“Class, we have a new student joining us today, please make her feel welcome!” Mme. Bustier said. It wasn't the first time she had done it this year – Alya and Adrien had received the same treatment –but it still felt like something new, particularly with how small their class was. “Lila, do you want to tell us a little about yourself?”

“Well, my parents are Italian diplomats, which is why we moved. It's colder than I expected.”

Chloé checked her nails. To her, the new girl was as interesting as watching paint dry.

“I'm a little nervous coming in so late in the year. I do hope I can get some help catching up!”

Nino looked aside, and watched as Adrien drooled all over his table.

Jesus, bro, what the hell you've been doing?

“Dude,” he whispered, poking his sleepy best friend in an attempt to awaken him.

“Let's all be good friends!” Lila wished.

----

A few hours later, the class was on a break, and several of them rounded about Lila, interested in what she could tell about herself.

And it did sound interesting, indeed!

“Thanks to my travels, I know lots of famous people! Jagged Stone, Prince Ali, Spielberg... I'm even besties with Scarlet Lady!” she said, smiling.

Kim, Rose, and Alya were impressed, and the latter actually pulled out her cellphone.

“Wow, Lila, that's amazing! How'd you manage that?!” she asked. If she could get this on the LadyBlog, her views would skyrocket!

Had Lila been paying attention, she would have realized that not everyone was as impressed.

Marinette, Alix, and Nino – all of whom had witnessed Scarlet Lady's real personality – were terrified. Because, what kind of person would actually be friends with her?

----

Adrien tried to shake off the tiredness from his eyes. After yet another afternoon of training, all he wanted to do was to curl up and take a nap before he had to knock off the homework.

“WHAT!? That's unacceptable! We sent you a file with the measurements!”

Père? Adrien thought. He had heard him being angry, so it wasn't exactly uncommon, but this used to be the kind of thing that really angered him – someone messing with his designs. Approaching to check on him, he saw something unexpected.

“That incompetent …! No, contact my assistant, Nathalie.”

A secret safe.

Quickly jumping behind a column to avoid being seen by his father, Adrien watched as he went away, sizzling in anger – and he was struck with a feeling.

The feeling of curiosity.

“I can't believe there's a safe behind Maman's picture,” he said, moving said picture aside, while Plagg got in and opened the safe from the inside.

“What a weird haul. A book on Tibet, a pamphlet for a hotel in Tibet... Whoops! This looks important!” Plagg said, tossing a large book with an elaborate engraving on its cover to Adrien.

“Noice!” he replied, putting the book in his bag. “Hey, real quick, is rebellion supposed to feel like you're gonna barf?”

“Only if you get caught,” Plagg smugly said.

----

It was day two of the new girl, and Sabrina knew Chloé's reaction was nowhere close to the worst.

“I don't see what's so great about some new girl,” Chloé declared, while she checked something she had seen on the Ladyblog.

“Really? Even though she's close with Scarlet Lady?”

“WHAT?!”

Sabrina started the video Alya had published yesterday afternoon.

“Scarlet Lady and I, we're like this!” Lila was saying, crossing her fingers.

“That dirty liar!” Chloé shouted. “Where is that rat?!”

“Looks like she's going to the library,” Sabrina pointed out, seeing Lila dragging a clearly reluctant Adrien.

“Hey! With my Adrikins?!”

“Oops.” That was her cue to leave Chloé to her own devices. “Good luck, Lila.”

----

He didn't even know why he had allowed the new girl to drag him to the school library, only that she was way too insistent and in the end he gave up – if only so he could get free of her sooner. With not much to do until Lila finally got bored, he pulled out the book he had found in his father's safe.

Man, I can't even read this. Wait, can Père even read this? he pondered.

“Hey, what's that?” Lila asked, swiping the book.

“Uh, just some superhero encyclopedia,” he covered. “Can I have it back, please...?”

“Oh, I adore superheroes!” she said.

“O...kay?”

What the hell is wrong with her face?

“What a coincidence, so do I! And everyone else!”

Chloé, as was her wont, jumped at him without a care for what damage she might do, and Adrien had to contain his instinct to swat her as if she were a blood-sucking mosquito.

“Chloé, what are you doing here?” he asked.

“Who cares.” Of course, Chloé never bothered to answer such questions. “Show me your fancy book, Adrikins~! I wanna see the Scarlet page!”

Good Lord, why is Chloé so obsessed with Scar, of all people? He sighed.

“Scarlet Lady, huh...”

“You've got a soft spot for the bug, huh?” Lila asked.

“She's... something else,” he tried to say, only to get drowned out by Chloé.

“Of course he does! Everybody loves Scarlet Lady!”

“You know, I'm really good friends with Scarlet Lady,” Lila said, getting too close.

“Huh?!” He wondered why she thought that was good.

“Liar! You are not friends with Scarlet Lady!” Chloé shrieked.

Where was the librarian when one needed her?

“Hmph. Jealous much?”

While Chloé was left silent by this, his phone rang out, reminding him that he needed to leave to get to his class.

“Look, I gotta go or I'll be late,” he said, grabbing his bag.

“Oh, Adrien!”

“Ah!” Seriously, why did so many girls think it was alright to get too close?!

“I hope we can continue our talk later. Privately. After class? In the park?”

“Ex-cuse you?!”

Seriously, Chloé shouted too much.

“Uh, sure?” He really needed to get away.

“Great!” Lila cheered.

“Adrikins!”

“Chloé, I better not see you there.” He really didn't need her 'help'.

“Grr!” Chloé growled.

“Teehee! Bye bye, Chloé!”

----

Checking the book was a mess. It was written in a completely unintelligible language, meaning that she had no way to understand what it was all about.

But the images were more than enough to get by. Particularly if she wanted to impress Adrien! She just needed to find something that she could reliably pass as something related to a hero.

Then one of the pages revealed a girl wearing something that made her look like a fox, along with a pendant that resembled that animal's tail.

“A fox superheroine... hm, interesting. Now, wasn't there a jewelry shop by the park...?”

Now she just needed to make sure Adrien never realized she purloined his little book, and she's be golden!

----

By the time she left the library, Chloé was shaking in anger. How dare that Italian rat!

“The nerve of that big fat liar!” Claiming to be friends with her? Just to ensnare her Adrikins?!

“Chloé!” Tikki exclaimed. “You absolutely have to get that book!”

“What?”

“The book Adrien and Lila had! You have to go get it!”

The book on superheroes? That reminded her, she hadn't managed to see herself in there!

“So, what you're saying is, I have to spy on her and Adrien?” she asked, not even believing it.

“Yes! Follow them!”

Well, that was a shock.

“Wait, seriously? I mean, I definitely was going to, but...”

Finally, it looked like Tikki was actually getting what was important!

----

“All set,” Adrien said, drying out his sweat as he picked his bag after training. “Now I gotta meet up with Lila.”

“Hey kid,” Plagg replied, his belly full of cheese. “The book's gone.”

“Huh?”

“That new girl took it.”

“She stole my dad's book? Seriously?” She cut into his free time to drag him to the library, took the book from him while he was reading it – without even asking for permission – and now this? He slammed the locker door. “Maybe she really is friends with Scarlet Lady.”

----

“Here, Marinette, Lila's contact information,” Mme. Bustier said, giving her a folder. “You'll need it as class representative.”

“Thank you.” She would need Lila to get her the info so she could coordinate the timetable.

“Also, I couldn't catch Adrien before he went home. Do you mind making sure he gets this packet he missed?”

“Okay! I can stop by his place later!”

She would have to see how he was. Last she'd heard, Lila had dragged him to the library for some reason.

----

“There she is!” Chloé said, looking through her cellphone camera.

“We're too far!” Tikki whispered.

“Okay! Okay!” Chloé replied, ducking closer to the Italian liar – and watching as she threw a book into the trash can. “Oop, there it goes.”

“I'll get it!” Tikki exclaimed, flying for the can just as Adrien arrived, sporting a very unfriendly face.

“Seriously? Gross,” Tikki heard Chloé reply as she entered, but she paid her no mind. Because, as soon as she did, she realized it was the Guardian's Grimoire! Just what Master Fu needed if he wanted to further help the heroes!

“It is the book, Chloé!” she happily exclaimed.

“I'm not touching that,” Chloé replied, and she grumbled.

Figures.

And she began the tough task of dragging the book out.

----

Adrien's BS detector was flaring up like a fireworks spectacle. Knowing that Lila had stolen the book was predisposing him against the girl – and the stuff she was saying was only making it easier to dismiss it.

The only real reason he was still here was because he wanted to get that book back.

“Not only did Scarlet save my life, she became a friend. Because we share a secret!” Lila was saying.

Adrien took that claim with a packet of salt.

Totally suspicious. 'Scarlet'?

“I'm a descendant of a fox hero – Volpina.”

“Volpina?” That wasn't a name he remembered – maybe she had found it in the book. And she produced a necklace that resembled a fox's tail.

“She's one of the greatest heroes! Stronger and more famous than Scarlet Lady.”

Ah yes, more powerful and more famous – which is why no one's heard of her.

“Between us, Scarlet Lady isn't all that great.”

No shit.

----

“Okay, that's it!” Chloé growled, roughly snatching Tikki.

“Chloé, the bo–” Tikki tried to say, but Chloé was beyond listening to anyone other than her own ego.

----

Time to cut this out, he thought.

“You know, Lila. I find it interesting you'd divulge this 'secret' to me after I noticed my book was missing. Isn't that interesting?”

Yeah, Lila realized that she had made a serious miscalculation.

“But even if I didn't notice, I knew right away that you were lying. Do you know how I know?”

Yeah, Lila realized that she had made a serious mistake.

“Because Scarlet Lady would never go out of her way to save anyone!” he shouted, finally letting out his anger at her attempt to deceive him, and hopefully making her finally confess what the hell she did with his book.

“Well, well, well! If it isn't the little liar herself!”

He closed his eyes and palmed his face. And, of course, to round up the carnival of suck, she appeared.

“Dammit, we said her name too many times,” he said. Now he just needed to know how to un-summon her.

Scar, for once, didn't try to do her usual shtick whenever he was around as Adrien, and instead went over to Lila.

“You think you can just go around claiming to be my best friend?!”

Lila was clearly shaking in shock, and Scar's very unfriendly face wasn't making it easier for her.

“You reek of desperation, you pathetic loser!” Scar shouted, tangling Lila with her yo-yo. “But don't worry~”

And she tossed her, spinning, towards the fountain.

“I can wash that off for you!”

“AHHHHH!!” Lila screamed, spinning with no way to stop, until she splashed into the water.

“Hope that helps!” Scar said, laughing like a mad woman.

----

She had only wanted to say a few lies to impress the cutest boy in the class!

Why had Scarlet Lady taken so much offense from her saying they were friends?!

Why had she tossed her into a fountain while they were in the middle of winter?!?!

What had she done to deserve this?!

“What the $#@% was that?!” she heard Adrien shout at Scarlet Lady.

“Ugh.” Seriously, the water felt so.. grimy, for some reason. Either someone was skimping on the cleaning, or they just hadn't come around–

“Lila?”

When she heard the voice, she looked up, and she saw her classmates...

… who had seen Scarlet Lady humiliate her...

… who now knew that she was a liar...

… who she couldn't...

She felt the tears coming up her eyes. She had had bad days...

… but this was the worst.

She jumped out of the fountain and ran.

“How could you?!”

“Lila, wait!” she heard one of the girls say, but she couldn't stop.

----

“Are you quite proud?!” Adrien yelled at Scarlet Lady.

“Yeah, uh, Scarlet Lady? What was that about?” Alya asked.

“Uhhh... O-obviously it's incredibly foolish to lie about being my BFF!” she replied, and for everyone it felt like she was trying to come up with an excuse. “Hawkmoth could target her to get to me! Honestly, it's for her own good that I publicly expose her so he knows it's not true!”

“I... guess that makes sense,” Alya concluded, but she was of two minds. Protecting her was one thing. But what Scarlet Lady had just done was something else entirely.

“Now, Adrien my darling, you can thank me for saving you by–”

Fortunately, Adrien had seen enough and had had the sense to start dashing away the moment Scarlet Lady wasn't looking.

“Oh, I guess he's busy,” she obliviously commented.

----

As Scarlet Lady left, everyone dispersed to return to their own homes. Marinette was going to do the same, but then her eyes stopped by something on the ground, near the bin.

“Huh...? What's this book...?”

Opening it with care – because it seemed quite the old book – she passed the pages, and was assaulted by images of people wearing impressive costumes, of animals floating next to them, and of objects. Everything in a strange language she didn't know.

But the contents were obvious.

“Whoa, superheroes?! A cat, a fox, a bee...” she could recognize Plagg in one of the drawings. “And a ladybug! She looks nothing like Scarlet Lady. So there is hope.”

----

He had to be honest.

He didn't expect this would actually happen.

Then again, he had met Scarlet Lady, so perhaps he should have expected it.

Her casual dismissal of the boy he had turned into Copycat was somewhat bad, but this rankled of abject cruelty.

Not that he cared much. As long as the girl was willing to take Scarlet Lady down a peg or twenty, he didn't care.

“Volpina, I am Hawkmoth. I'm giving you the power of illusion.” And wasn't that a kicker, giving her the same power as the Miraculous she had claimed to possess. “From now on, your lies will come to life! Make all of Paris believe you are a super-heroine!”

“Shouldn't be hard given the abysmal example they have go off of!”

Scarlet Lady had really dug her own grave with this one.

“Oh, I'm going to like you.”

This would be fun to see.

----

“What in the–?!” he let out, seeing a meteorite falling from the sky into Paris.

Gotta transform!

As he called Plagg to him, suddenly another figure jumped in front of the meteorite and–

“HYAH!”

– hit it back?

“Wha–? Who?!”

The figure turned around, and was revealed to be a girl wearing something that made her resemble a kitsune girl from the anime he watched.

“I am Volpina!” the girl declared. “The only superheroine Paris needs!”

He swore he heard people cheering on her, but he didn't care.

Oh God, there's two of them. Another ego-maniac to make my job hard, he mentally cried out.

“The %$#@ did she say?!”

Chat Noir nearly cried. Why was the world so unfair?!

The girl landed right next to them, and the first thing she did was to talk to him.

“Nice to meet you, Chat Noir! I like your suit~”

Great, another one of those.

“Uh, thanks?”

“HEY!” Scar shouted, forcing the newcomer to turn around. “What are you trying to pull with that 'only heroine Paris needs' crap, fox face?!”

Volpina didn't seem to care much for Scar, because she looked away and pointed in another direction.

“Hey, look, it's Hawkmoth.”

“Like I'm falling for that!”

In spite of himself, he looked in the direction she was pointing at and –

“Holy #$%@ it's Hawkmoth!” he exclaimed.

“WHAT?!”

“I mean, I think so. We don't actually know what he looks like, so...”

As he got ready to jump the guy, he encountered yet another problem: Volpina thought she could give orders.

“Scarlet, go left, Chat, go right! I'll go from behind,” she said.

'Chat'?

“'Scarlet'?! I give the orders, not you!”

Totally suspicious.

Hawkmoth had never shown his face in months. Even the one time they interacted with the guy, he spoke through a cloud of butterflies. Why would he show his face right now? Or at all?

“Do you want him to get away?! We have to work together!”

“As if I'd align myself with such a tacky looking person! Chat Noir is bad enough!”

Alright, that did it. Scar was bad enough. Scar and Volpina would give him a headache.

“Welp, I leave this in your capable hands, ladies,” he said, dropping from the roof they had perched on.

“HEY!” he head Scar shout, but he was fed up. He returned home and detransformed.

“You really left 'em, huh?” Plagg asked

“Oh, c'mon. Volpina is obviously Lila and that Hawkmoth is obviously a trap!” he said, stretching a bit as he placed him on the couch. “I'm too tired, let them deal with it.”

His phone chimed, and he quickly checked on it, looking at the list of recent calls.

“Oh! I missed a call from Marinette! I'll call her back.”

Pressing on the call icon for Marinette, it was only a tone later that she picked up.

“Hey, Marinette! Sorry I missed your call.”

“Don't worry, I guess you were busy with something. Look, Mme. Bustier gave me your work. I was going to show you at the park, but you left before I could ask. I'm here at your house's gate.”

“The work I missed? Sure, I'll buzz you in!”

“Thanks! Also, I found this thing at the park that I think you're going to love!”

“Huh? Something you found at the park? Now I'm curious!”

----

The stupid alley cat had left, which was bad, but at least she wouldn't have to deal with his incompetence. Now, she just had to get rid of the fake.

Who was laughing at her.

“Wow, even your own partner can't stand you.”

“The feeling's mutual!” she shouted at her.

“Well, at least I can drop the act.” Suddenly, a purple outline covered the fake's face, and the sky around her was covered in missiles of all sizes. “Let's discuss you handing over your Miraculous.”

Maybe she shouldn't have dismissed the alley cat so soon. At least, he was good enough to soak up work like this.

“What?”

“Everyone thinks I'm a true hero, and soon I'll expose you for the fake hero you are!” the fake crowed.

“'Fake'?! That's rich coming from you!”

“Give me your Miraculous or I'll collapse that building!” the fake shouted, with some of the missiles turning to it.

She just shrugged. She didn't see why she should care.

“So?”

“What?!”

She actually seemed surprised.

“I'll just bring it and everyone inside back when I win. No big deal.”

“You really are a villain!” the fake said, and she threw the yo-yo at her, grabbing her by the waist – until all the missiles and even her vanished in a cloud of dust.

“Ha! Her power would be super lying! I have to protect Adrichou from her!”

One good thing about being transformed – she didn't have to deal with a dumb bug that didn't realize her Adrikins worshipped her!

----

The moment Marinette came, he ushered her to his room, eager to learn more about her discovery – after she handed him the work, that is.

“So, what's this thing you found?”

“It's a hero book, check it out!”

And she produced a very familiar book.

“Wha–?! This is my dad's book!”

“What? Really?”

“I thought Lila took it! Where'd you find it?!”

“In the park, by the trash can.”

“She threw it away?!” He had been there! She couldn't even bother to return it?!

“Adrien~”

Oh, look, just who he needed to vent to.

“YOU.”

“Akuma?!” Marinette asked, shocked. He immediately stood between Lila and Marinette.

“Adrien, who's this girl?” Lila asked, growling.

“None of your business, Lila!” he shouted back.

“'Lila?'” Marinette asked.

“I-It's Volpina, actually! I came to prove I'm not a liar! I am a superhero! Scarlet Lady is just jealous of me.” And she put yet again the same face as before. “But this time she won't ruin our date!”

ALERT ALERT ALERT ABORT ABORT SILENCE

“IT ABSOLUTELY WAS NOT A DATE!” he shouted. Why the hell was Lila saying this stuff in front of Marinette?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

“Caught you, Super Liar–!”

And, of course, the one that was missing had to make an appearance.

“Dupain-Cheng?! Why are you always where you aren't wanted?!” Scar shouted, completely unaware of the fact that the only one he wanted there was Marinette.

“I could say the same to you,” Marinette replied, clearly being more aware of reality than Scar.

“Wait, you hate Scarlet Lady too?” Lila asked, surprised.

“I mean, she's the worst, you know?” Marinette pointed out. Lila replied by picking her hands and actually using her power to spread sparkles in the air, a situation both him and Marinette found rather uncomfortable. “I'm not helping you. I hate Hawkmoth more.”

Great. Now he had to cut his talk with Marinette short so he could deal with the situation.

“IF EVERYONE COULD LEAVE, THAT'D BE GREAT! I'll text you later, Marinette,” he promised.

“Okay~” that wonderful girl replied, and he hoped he'd be able to have one long conversation where he cleared things up with her.

Meanwhile, the other two just took up fighting with each other.

“Adrien, wait!”

“He said get lost, fox face!”

“He meant you, bug face!”

He closed the door, and was rewarded with silence.

“I hope I didn't offend Marinette,” he said.

“Just tell her it's one of your 'stress showers',” Plagg replied with a snicker.

“Ha, ha,” he mirthlessly laughed, and Plagg kept grinning like the cat he was. “Let's go take out the trash. Claws Out!”

----

In spite of Adrien's demands, the two idiots kept pushing each other around, so for Marinette it was a relief that her Chat Noir finally showed up to fight the Akuma.

“Nowhere to run, Volpina!” Chat Noir shouted, readying his staff.

“That's what you think!” Volpina replied, putting her flute to her lips and playing it.

Suddenly, the room was full of clones of Volpina.

“Catch me if you can!” the Volpinas said at the same time. For a moment, she was shocked, but then she swung her backpack at the nearest Volpina and realized it was falser than Scarlet Lady's integrity.

“They're just illusions! Watch your backs!” she said, batting clone after clone and making them vanish.

“HEY! She took my Adrien!” Scarlet Lady exclaimed, pointing at the terrace, where Volpina seemed to have taken a hold of Adrien and was ready to kidnap him.

“Oh no, Adrien!” she exclaimed.

“Oh, c'mon!” Chat Noir exclaimed, although him... he sounded more like he was exasperated.

The Akuma took off, followed by her favorite hero and the polka-dotted millstone, leaving her alone in the room.

I should return home, she thought, leaving the room and hoping Chat Noir would solve the situation.

“Mlle. Dupain-Cheng, where is Adrien?” Mme. Sancouer asked. “I have something urgent to discuss with him.”

“You'll have to ask the Akuma that just abducted him,” she replied.

----

For some reason, Akumas had some fixation for the Eiffel Tower, and Volpina had dragged 'Adrien' there. Chat Noir supposed Hawkmoth just liked the attention it brought.

Climbing up, Volpina held onto one of the platforms with one hand and 'Adrien' from the other.

“Give me your Miraculous or else!” she yelled, threatening to drop the illusion.

“Do it.”

“Gawd, what is wrong with you?!”

“I'll just catch him or bring him back with the Miraculous Cure!” And then Scar actually fucking cried. “My Prince will surely forgive my sacrifice for the sake of the greater good!”

He gave a very serious thought to revisiting that idea of grabbing the yo-yo off that bitch's hands and throttle her with it. She actually thought he would forgive her leaving him to die?!?!?!

However, he kept tight. The Akuma remained the first priority, loathe as he was to hold back from kicking Scar's ass from here to Marseille.

Instead, he tossed his staff at the illusion, blowing it with a poof!

“Ah! Adrien!”

And she actually thought it was the real him!

Calm down, Chat Noir, you can't murder her and claim you were just wiping a bug.

While Volpina tried to do the clone illusion trick again, he just glared at Scar hard enough that maybe, just maybe, she might drop dead of her own accord.

She either didn't care or was immune, because she summoned the Lucky Charm – a fudge ice cream bar. Which she opened, tossing the ice cream at him while she spread the wrapper.

“This Lucky Charm is stupid, but at least I can work on my tan,” she declared.

The sun reflected on the wrapper, and suddenly one of the Volpinas her eyes, dazzled by the shine.

“There!" Chat Noir said: for once, Scar's bumbling actually did something good! “Cataclysm!”

Part of the Tower collapsed, and Volpina fell with it, getting trapped between several bars in the process and leaving her easy prey.

“End of the road, fox face!” Scar exclaimed, causing Volpina to give a wordless yell of anger.

He could commiserate with her as he destroyed the necklace. Losing to Scar, of all people, had to sting.

Once the Miraculous Cure was cast, and everything was restored to normality, he and Scar were alone with Lila.

“You're unbelievable, you know that?!” Scar yelled at Lila, who was now trying to understand what had happened.

“What?!”

“Attacking my Adrien and prancing around pretending to be a hero! Pathetic!”

Hypocrite, he thought.

“Like you're one to talk! If anyone's a fake hero, it's you!” Lila grabbed the repaired fox-tail necklace from his hand. “You don't have to worry about me pretending to be your friend, because I hate your guts! ARRIVEDERCI, WEIRDO!”

Lila left them... and he knew there was a little problem: they were at a high platform in the Tower.

How does she plan on getting down?

----

He had just finished his shower when he heard someone knocking on the window.

Scar. Throwing him a kiss.

Ew. No.

Finally, the security system would come in handy!

He grabbed the remote – and slammed the inch-thick stainless steel curtain right in front of her face.

And it was. So. Satisfying!

Enough that he found it in himself to finally curl up with the book and try to make a sense out of it.

“I still don't understand why my Dad has a book he can't even read,” he said, as he checked the figure of a man that kinda looked like Genghis Khan wearing an outfit based on butterflies.

“Then... let's bring it to someone who can,” Plagg declared, smirking.

“Huh?”

----

Sneaking out of the house was getting easier – it was just a matter of knowing which corridors to use to avoid Nathalie, the Gorilla or any of the service.

Going through Paris was a bit weirder, since they were using the backstreets, but at least it was close by.

And Plagg led him to what was announced as some sort of masseur parlor.

What kind of masseur knows how to read this book on the Miraculous? Adrien thought, knocking on the door.

“Come in,” a man said, and he entered.

He found a Chinese man, wearing shirt, vest and loose trousers, sitting with his legs crossed on the floor – a man that tickled something in the back of his mind, but he wasn't sure what.

“Hello, Chat Noir,” the man said, smiling.

“... 'and nice to see you too, Plagg!'” Plagg replied, sarcastically.

----

The Collector

@zoe-oneesama Hawkmoth's power is naught but an illusion - one that will be dispelled.

So, we've got Lila here... and it certainly did go apeshit. At least, Adrien's finally meeting Master Fu! (Even if we all know it's going to be a bit too tense in the beginning)

Next stop, Trazyn the In-- err, Gabriel's own Akuma!

The Alpha & His Little Witch: Eternity: Chapter 11

Previous chapter

David’s Pov

“Honey, can you please go and talk to Marcel about the treaty in my stead? My schedule’s too tight today.” Aaliyah asked

“Yea I was headed for a walk into town anyway.”

“Great, I'll see you at dinner. Love you.”

“Love you too beautiful.”

On my way to meet up with Marcel in the town square something felt familiar but I couldn't pinpoint it.

“Excuse me, do you know this town well?” I heard a woman ask. But that voice….. it couldn’t be. She’s not supposed to be here.

I walked towards the voice to see her back facing towards me. “Kimberly?” I say aloud. She turned around with a stunned look. “Still beautiful after all these years.”

“What are you doing in Moon valley?”

“I don’t see how that’s your business, but it’s nice to see you again David.” Kimberly smiled.

“I wish I could say the same if we weren’t under different circumstances.”

“Oh you mean when you cheated on your wife and I got pregnant? Or do you mean when she sent me and your first born daughter to serenity without a blink of an eye.”

“Look I know things got a little crazy but….. Wait, did you say daughter?” I asked , shocked.

“Yea her name is Piper, sweet girl.” Kimberly responded with a smile that quickly faded “ look I gotta go, I have somewhere to be.” then quickly walked away.

“What the hell was that?” I watched her for a few more seconds before I began walking towards the packhouse. Marcel was in front of the door talking to Jason.

“Just the two people I needed to see.”

“Wish I could say the same. Where's Aaliyah?”

“She had a more important meeting that required her attention today so you're stuck with me.”

“Tell Aaliyah we can hold this another day when she’s present.”

“Why when I'm right here?” I questioned

“Because I don’t like you nor do I respect you.” Marcel said matter of factly

I sighed “listen this is business and I don’t need to be your friend. My wife wanted this done today and I want to respect her wishes so let's get to business and save the bullshit for after.”

Marcel smirked “You're bold as hell. And if you weren't Davina's dad you would have been dead already. I will respect Aaliyah’s wishes today I guess.” Marcel said as he walked inside towards his office.

I didn’t say anything back. I just followed him to his office before he changed his mind again. My daughters mate or not I’ve never met a more disrespectful creature.

Davina’s pov

I sat at home on my couch watching tv. When I felt that familiar energy again and it was in Moon valley. I came to the conclusion that the energy was coming from a witch or warlock. I was good at detection and tracking magical sources. I got up and put on my shoes immediately walking out of the house to find out who it was coming from.

I mindlinked marcel. “ I can feel that energy again somewhere in Moon Valley. I’m gonna look for it.”

“Be careful, I'm in a meeting. I'll check in with you in 20.” He replied before cutting the link.

Walking into the town square I tried to find the energy source. I knew it was here and I could feel it coming closer.

“Davina?” I heard a voice call. I looked to my right and I saw a girl walking towards me.

“Yes, do I know you?” That's when I felt the same source of energy I’ve been looking for.

“It’s me, Allison Fox, your old classmate slash bestie before you met Kat?”

I froze. I thought I wouldn’t ever see this person again after she disappeared. “Ali? Oh my god where have you been all this time, it's been years.”

“In the flesh hahah, I have been getting stronger. I joined a new coven that fits my values.” Ali replied

“You're most definitely stronger because the energy you were giving off was concerning, but what brings you to Moon valley?”

“Oh nothing, just a little unfinished business I wanted to take care of.” ALi said with a smile.

“What kind of business? Visiting your mom after all these years? You know how hurt she was after you left?”

“Oh please, my mother is the least of my concerns.” Ali replied, rolling her eyes before looking at me with a smile lightly tapping me on my shoulder. “Let's go for a walk, we have a lot to catch up on.” walking ahead of me I automatically felt my legs start to follow behind her.

“What the fuck is this I can’t speak nor can I control my body.” I kept trying to use my voice but nothing came out.

“Marcel!” I called out to him, completely freaking out, but he couldn’t hear me.”

“Cool spell huh, I thought you would like it. Ali smiled as she got in the car. ”C’mon hun let’s go, I don't have all day. My body betrayed me again as I got in the car and drove off.”

“You know Davina you really don't deserve everything that you have.” Ali said as the car car came to a sudden stop I noticed we were going into the woods. We walked for at least 10 minutes before we stopped next to this clearing. I looked into Ali’s eyes not knowing what was gonna happen next.

“Don’t worry girl, I'm not gonna kill you. I wanted to but that's the job of someone you’ll be meeting sooner than you think. But for now she just wants you to sleep and bleed out a little.” Ali stepped forward drawing a blade.

I tried to run but my legs wouldn't move. “Why is she doing this! Move dammit!” It was too late as I felt the blade go into my stomach twice. I fell to the ground and was dragged to a nearby bush as if she was hiding my body.

“It’s ok Davina, just close your eyes. You’ll wake up later if you're found but if not then you might be out of luck.” Alison said as ran her fingers through my hair before getting up and leaving me alone in the woods, possibly dying. I attempted to call out to her but my eyes got heavier the farther she got and before I knew it everything went dark.

It's hockey season again which means my brain is imagining an alisusan hockey au where Susan is the first girl player in the NHL until Ali gets called up and then reporters are like, "Omg rivalry??" and make stupid headlines.

And Susan's like, "Wtf?? We're not going to have a rivalry." and Ali feels the same until Susan gets some stupid penalty against Ali and then Ali's like, "Oh, it is on. Clearly she believes in this rivalry thing." while Susan is like, "Damn it, I do not want a rivalry-"

Anyways, they clearly do have a rivalry because bsf to lovers alisusan is great but so is enemies to lovers alisusan.

Honestly, my various ideas for this include:

Susan on a team with all the og cobras and they're all besties. Johnny, Tommy, and Dutch are the biggest alisusan rivalry fans while Bobby and Jimmy are like hey maybe not-

(Obviously Bobby and Jimmy are just as invested bc they are in support of women's rights and women's wrongs.)

Chozen and Daniel play with Ali. They're both alisusan rivalry haters and alisusan rivalry lovers. Daniel's like, "You should talk!!" but the minute Susan gets like a high sticking penalty against Ali he's like, "BEAT HER ASS ALI!!! BEAT HER ASS!!!" Chozen is like, "You know, fighting isn't always the answer." but is tapping his stick and yelling the minute Ali and Susan start fighting.

Kreese and Silver don't actually know what to think of the alisusan rivalry. Silver's like, "A rivalry will be good for the franchise." while Kreese is like, "No, she'll get distracted and ruin her career and-" "Remember our rivalry?" "We are not doing this ag-" "It was October of 1976-"

(Lucille is the GM of Ali's team and Miyagi is the head coach and Lucille is all for it while Miyagi is like hey don't do that.)

Susan's PIMs are off the chart by the time the All Star break comes around. So are Ali's, but Ali has way more instigating penalties than Susan does.

They actually share a room during the All Star break, because the organizers were like, "Guys surprise!! It's a room for the girlies!!!" and alisusan are like haha yeahhh. Cue the mutual death stares.

They actually start to get along because they both agree they hate the way the media treats them. Like hey, why is every interview question about you and not about how I scored that awesome shorty off of Lawrence's sick pass?? Or why did they ask me about your shorthanded shot off of Lawrence's pass when I literally scored two goals the other night unassisted??

They leave New Jersey (I did have to look up where this was hosted the year tkk came out) with a better understanding of one another and also each other's numbers

They also slowly start to fall in love after they better understand each other and are like, "I should tell her...right? Shit, wait, maybe not-"

The og cobras are totally cheering for Susan to tell Ali. They have seen Susan fight Ali and they have seen Susan look all in love while on the phone with her. They want them to get together.

Chozen and Daniel try to coach Ali through telling Susan. They're like, "Just ask her if she wants to meet up the next time we play them. Offer to get ice cream with her. No one hates ice cream."

Long story short they do meet up and tell each other and it goes well and yay they're in love!!

Also my favorite part is imagining the nicknames the teams would have for each other. I feel like Susan would just be abbreviated to Suze and Ali would either get called Ali or Milly.

SHRIDHAR MY NEW FRIEND AND MY RESIGNATION ACCEPTED IN ICICI BANK

so its gonna be that one long blog in which I am going to express my anger ,frustration and overall anxiety and suffering which I received while doing the shittest job in the whole planet , I am totally devastated at the time of training when I heard the job role and I am so fucking glad that somehow I managed to get away with the toxic and intolerable work environment I never scared and I never backed off I always stood ahead and gave a totally kickass response to whatever harsh comments or whatever obligations or any blame thrown on me ,I just hit all those stuffs out of the park and never apologised for what have not done in wrong way , I know if we have to survive in this kind of work environment then you have to be totally kickass and total rough and tough if you just give them little permission to grab your strength then hell man you are a loser and you are the culprit for whatever the fuck happens in the premises,I am happy that my last working day is 14 th june and I am so fucking happy that I have cleared the interview process in wipro but the background verification is taking a time and I am not sure how long it will be taking but I am pretty sure that its gonna be done really quick and I am gonna get away with it real soon , I just want to work where my interest lies not where I am fedd up and always screaming with my bosses and manager so it will waste my productive and also it will fuckk up my whole mood ,just ready for new adventure of 1 year then its time to start a fucking cool coaching which is gonna be the biggest business which me and my brother are going to establish and we have to make that business super big and I will scale it up to next level cause I belive the future of growth lies in education and we have to make education our top most priority and with minimal cost we have to accomplish our goal and passion in life,

so i made a very good friend who is second in the list of best friend after shubham soni ,his name is shridhar , now I currently have 4 besties ,shubham ,diksha,ali and shridhar with whom i am happy and i can share whatever i want and i am happy to be accompanied by them , i believe that everyone have their flaws and blessing and as a besties we just tell what we feel weird in each other in case of boys and girls i don't discriminate i say whatever i wants to say and don't hesitate in that and i think that is not a quality that should be everyone habit cause if you say the truth it will give other people a clarity to think and rectify what they are lacking.Yesterday went to Alis brother party it was quite a enjoyable moment an enjoyed totally there with bunch of colleagues , i am super happy that i have kept my resignation and got it approved so looking forward for new roller coaster ride and new adventures in the life which will surely pump me up and give me time to prepare myself for golaman sachs or any other big investment banking firms in the world.

Note

Lila somehow comes to the conclusion that Mirleille is Ladybug and tries to blackmail her into playing along with Lila's claim of being BFFs with Ladybug.

Incorrect

This is a draft

As Hawkmoth’s ally, Lila did her job of trying to identify Ladybug. It’s a shame Alya had decided to stop helping once Marinette pointed out Ladybug wouldn’t want them to know or else she would have told them. And who are they to decide they know better than Lady Luck?

It was enough for Marinette to be considered a suspect. That self-righteous attitude, how she knew Lila was a liar. Hell even the pigtails were a dead giveaway.

But that was too easy.

If Marinette were really Ladybug, she would have exposed her by now. Otherwise what kind of friend would let Alya ruin her blog’s credibility. Granted Alya was too proud and stubborn to recognize her mistakes and listen to Marinette’s warning to check her sources, but Alya would have listened to Ladybug.

Nope. Whoever Ladybug was, she would not be a close friend of Alya’s.

Hmm...what about Mireille? Black hair? Check. Ladybug could be wearing contacts to hide her eye color. And her best friend wore pigtails... Aurore was a fan of Adrien, maybe Ladybug was so angry at Lila for trying to steal her friend’s crush.

That’s it, isn’t it? Mireille is Ladybug.

This revelation could not have come at a better time when Marinette demands proof that Lila is friends with celebrities. She was ready to call Jagged right then and there when Lila protested that Marinette is mixing her personal feud with Lila with her professional status as Jagged’s go-to designer. If she is so insistent, then why not have Alya ask Ladybug the next time an akuma shows up. Marinette had readily accepted. And now Alya is determined to catch Ladybug for an interview and end this feud between her friends.

Lila waited till Mireille was alone before she cornered her in the bathroom.

Lila: listen up, when Alya comes to interview you, I need you to play along like we’re besties.

Mireille: we’re not

Lila: who cares? What matters is what you tell Alya. And so help me, if you don’t lie, I’ll make your life at school a living hell.

Mireille: wow, you have serious issues

Lila: cross me and you’ll learn just how bad I can be.

Mireille repeated, “wow.”

And satisfied with Mireille’s wide eyes and lack of spine to stand up to her, Lila tossed her hair and left.

Lila did not anticipate Mireille telling Aurore that Lila was a psycho liar who threatened her. Aurore tells Mireille that Lila is the self-proclaimed best friend of Ladybug.

Mireille: if that’s true, I’ll eat my shoe.

Aurore: so what do we do? The people believe Lila’s stories.

Mireille: we get them to fact check, that’s what.

Aurore: Lila cries every time Marinette asks us to do that.

Mireille: then it’s a good thing we have our own followers. Come on, we have some typng to do.

Within the hour, it became known that Paris’ weather girls were questioning Lila’s claims and associations. They asked their fans if they could find any proof because they sure can’t.

This was enough to cause feedback on the Ladyblog, causing Alya to pale and gasp.

Beyond the facts that stated Lila was so not connected to any celebrities, some people had found out her bullying history and were spreading it.

Alya stood up and brandished her phone screen at Lila. “Care to explain this?”

Lila: Alya, I’m not Marinette. I can’t read your phone from my seat.”

Alya: my followers are posting evidence that there’s no way you’re friends with Jagged or Prince Ali. Instead you have a history of bullying and fraud!

Lila: what? That’s slander. Who’s behind this? Was it you, Marinette?

Marinette: i wish! All we need now is an akuma for Ladybug to be interviewed by Alya.

At the reminder, Lila and Alya forced themselves to calm down for different reasons.

Alya: I won’t need Ladybug’s statement now. My fans have provided evidence I failed to give.

Bustier: girls, please settle down. I’m sure we can resolve this peacefully.

Marinette: you know if Lila really wasn’t at Achu with Prince Ali, why wasn’t she at school?

Bustier paused. “Alya, please escort Lila to the principal’s office. Marinette, please call Mrs Rossi. The rest of you, please turn to page 76.”

Nino: you’re letting them deal with Lila? Isn’t that your job?

Bustier: well, Alya is the one with the proof. But fine, I’ll call Mrs Rossi.

At the end of the day, Lila was expelled once Mireille added her bathroom bullying account.

Now Paris knows Lila as the bullying liar. Good luck fitting in at her next school because Mrs Rossi still has work to do in Paris and she’s not letting Lila out of her sight now.

Marinette Dupain-Cheng’s Spite Playlist: Remix CH9

This is the first new chapter! Every last bit of it has never been read before (except by me and my betas)! What nefarious schemes will Adrien and Chloe try? Find out below!

Previous First Next AO3

-----------------------

Chapter 9: Emperor’s New Clothes

“Are you sure this is going to work?” Adrien asked as Chloe adjusted her wig. He peeked over the railing to the courtyard below with a frown. All of their classmates were gathered, enjoying their break—completely unsuspecting of what was about to commence.

“Of course it’ll work. These people are idiots who will believe anything.” Chloe snapped her compact shut and tossed it into her purse. “If they had any sort of intelligence, they would have seen right through Lila by now.”

“Yeah, but what if they-” Chloe pressed a finger to his lips.

“Just leave this to me, Adrikins. Being mean isn’t exactly your area of expertise.” She patted his cheek. “Little Miss Lie-la is about to be exposed. Now get into position!”

Adrien swallowed hard before climbing down the stairs to stand by the science lab door. Even though he agreed to help Chloe get back at Lila, he wasn’t entirely ready to deal with the guilt that came with it. Lila was a menace, and her lies needed to stop—that much Adrien could agree with, but he’d be lying if he said it didn’t make his skin crawl.

To justify going through with it, he reminded himself why he’d agreed to help in the first place. Marinette didn’t deserve to be pushed away from her friends, and freeing them from Lila’s grasp would help her move on. This was for Marinette, and on those terms only, he could accept it.

“Hello, everyone! It’s me, your favorite superheroine, Ladybug!” Chloe called into the courtyard as she descended the stairs, and every head turned to face her.

“Is that Ladybug?”

“It is Ladybug!”

“Is there an akuma?”

Adrien hung back with a wince as a crowd gathered around her. This was for Marinette. Lila needed to be stopped. He agreed to this.

“Yo, Ladybug, what are you doing here?” Nino asked.

Chloe placed a hand on her hip. “Oh, I was just in the neighborhood being a super amazing superheroine and protecting Paris from akumas, and I thought I’d stop in and visit my bff. So where exactly is Lila Rossi?” Chloe pressed a hand over her eyes and scanned the courtyard.

“She’s over here!” Alya waved. Despite Lila’s best efforts to shrink behind Alya, her new bestie wasn’t going to miss an opportunity to talk to Ladybug.

“Ah, there you are, my bff. It’s been so long since we’ve last seen each other. You remember? That time I saved your life, and we became instant bffs?” Chloe crossed her fingers. “You haven’t returned my calls, so I was starting to get worried.”

“Lila’s been out of the country until recently, and she’s been super busy catching up on school ever since she got back,” Alya explained. She patted Lila’s shoulder with a beam, and Lila offered a sheepish grin in return.

“Uh, yeah…” Lila’s face blanched.

They had her cornered. This was actually working! Maybe Adrien wouldn’t have to get involved after all.

“Oh, right, you went to Achu to visit Prince Ali. Funny though, I talked to Prince Ali yesterday—his assistant wanted to make sure that Paris was safe for his upcoming visit, so naturally they called me—I asked him how your visit went, and he didn’t remember inviting you to come to his palace.” Chloe cupped her cheek in one hand. “How weird is that?”

“Wait, what?” Everyone turned to look at Lila who stiffened, and a smirk curled on Chloe’s lips.

“But you were gone for over a month, Lila. I thought you said Prince Ali invited you to come stay with him,” Rose said. She hugged her scrapbook full of Prince Ali magazine clippings to her chest.

“He did!”

“But Ladybug just said he didn’t.” Alix crossed her arms over her chest.

“Well, she must be mistaken,” Lila said. “I’m your friend. Why would I lie to you?”

“Ladybug is a superhero. She’d never lie to us either.”

“What’s the truth then?”

“Yeah, Lila, tell us the truth.” Chloe egged. “Or perhaps you’d prefer to hear it from someone else? I’ve got a pretty killer witness. Adrikins, be a dear and come over here.”

Adrien hesitated, heart hammering in his chest. He couldn’t go through with this. Even though Lila deserved it, he couldn’t bring himself to call her out like this in front of everyone. There had to be another way.

“Wait a second, Adrikins?” Alya’s eyes narrowed. “I don’t think we have to wonder who’s telling the truth, do we, Chloe?”

“What? I’m not Chloe! She has way better hair than I, Ladybug, do. Plus she’s way funnier, prettier, smarter, and hey!” She spun around as Kim ripped off her wig.

“Ugh, we should have known,” Alya said. “You’re just upset because Lila beat you for class rep. Honestly, Chloe, grow up!”

“Yeah, Chloe, this is super lame.”

“Why do you always gotta pick on people?”

“You just can’t stand that someone’s getting more attention than you.”

Chloe shot Adrien a cutting glare as if to say, “Get out here and do your part,” but Adrien shot her an apologetic wince before ducking into the science lab.

“What are you doing? You can still stop that girl,” Plagg said when Adrien pulled his shirt aside.

“I panicked. I don’t want it to go down like this,” Adrien said. He ran a hand through his hair with a sigh. “I just can’t do it.”

“So you’re just going to let her keep using everyone?” Plagg asked.

Adrien squeezed his eyes shut, shaking his head. “Transform me!”

“Nice try, Chloe, but Lila won fair and square,” Nino said when Chat Noir landed in the courtyard.

Chloe blew a piece of hair from her face grumpily. “You all are so stupid if you actually believe anything she says. Even Dupain-Cheng realized she was a liar. I don’t want to be your class representative anyway. You’re all so lame.”

“The only liar here is you, Ladybug,” Alix said, and Kim waved her black wig over her head tauntingly.

“Lila is a liar! Ask Adrien. He can tell you!” Chloe’s cheeks flushed an angry red.

“Dude, leave Adrien alone.” Nino groaned, shaking his head. “Just admit you’re jealous, so we can all go home.”

“I’m really sorry if I’ve upset you, Chloe. If you want, I can talk to Mlle. Bustier about letting you be the class rep instead if it means so much to you. I don’t want us to fight,” Lila said humbly.

“Liar!” Chloe stomped her foot.

“I’m not lying! I promise,” Lila said. She held up her right hand for emphasis.

“Oh really?” Every head turned around as Chat Noir laid his staff across his shoulders.

“Yo, it’s Chat Noir! Like for real this time!”

“What are you doing here, Chat Noir?” Alya pulled out her phone to record.

“I heard that m’lady was making a house call, so I thought I’d come by and make sure everything was in order.” He cast a smirk in Chloe’s direction. “But it looks like someone just wanted to play dress-up.”

Goading Chloe probably wasn’t his smartest move, seeing as she was absolutely going to kill Adrien for chickening out, but he needed everyone on his side. Taking cheap shots at Chloe was always an instant crowd-pleaser.

“So, since you’re so honest, is there anything you’d like to share with the class?” he asked Lila. “Now would be a good time to get anything that your friends don’t know about you off your chest.”

She didn’t seem deterred by his presence at all, eyes glinting with amusement. Chat Noir bristled, grip tightening on his staff. Lila held no remorse for any of her actions, and she’d cling to her lies until the very end. Chat Noir bit his tongue hard as she turned to everyone else and plastered on a pout.

“There is something I want to tell all of you…” She clasped her hands over her heart. “I’ve been hesitant because I know you all have mixed feelings, but I think Marinette is behind all of this.”

“What?” Chat Noir and Chloe said in unison.

“Why do you say that, Lila?” Alya asked.

“Well, the other day on my way home I saw Chloe going to Marinette’s house, and now she’s here calling me a liar just like Marinette used to do,” Lila said, letting her face fall into her hands. “I just don’t know what I did to deserve to be treated this way.”

Everyone crowded closer to her offering their sympathy as alligator tears rolled down her cheeks, and a host of cutting glares aimed at Chloe. They should have planned for something like this. Lila always bent the truth to suit herself.

Rage boiled in Chat’s core, and it took every ounce of his willpower not to tackle Lila to the ground. How could anyone be so despicable?

“Hang on,” he said firmly, forcing his shoulders to relax. “I’ve met Marinette a few times, and she doesn’t seem like that type of girl.”

“Yeah, I’m not so sure that’s true either, Lila,” Alix spoke up. “I mean, Chloe and Marinette hate each other. Chloe would rather die than set foot in her house.”

Alya pursed her lips and turned to Chloe. “Is it true? Did you go to Marinette’s house?”

Chloe averted her gaze, crossing her arms over her chest. “I did go to see Dupain-Cheng at her tiny, disgusting hovel, but…she refused to help me—stupid little goody-two-shoes,” Chloe said. She met Alya’s gaze head-on and squared her jaw. “But with friends like you, I’m starting to see why she left. She was nothing but nice to you losers, and yet you’d so easily believe that she’d help me get back at someone. You’re all so pathetic.”

“The only pathetic one here is you, Chloe. Lila’s never done anything. None of us have! We’re sick and tired of putting up with your crud,” Nathaniel said, and several classmates echoed their agreement.

“Whatever. I don’t want to be your class representative anyway if you’re all too stupid to tell the difference between a diamond and a lump of coal.” Chloe flipped her hair over her shoulder, hips swaying as she stalked to the locker room.

Chat Noir almost chased after her, but his staff beeped with a message from Ladybug. There was an akuma across town. Chloe was going to have to wait.

♪♫♪ Broken Pieces Shine ♪♫♪

Marinette chewed her pencil, tilting her head to examine her designs from different angles. Clara’s deadline was still several weeks away, but she already had tons of ideas. Would Clara like a tasteful pantsuit or a flowing gown? Which one said ‘award-winner?’ Maybe if she added a sash or changed up the neckline…

The lunchroom bustled several simultaneous conversations, condensed into a uniform hum in Marinette’s ears while she worked. She was vaguely aware of her friends at the table with her, but when Macy leaned in to get a closer look at what she was working on, she still jumped.

“Ooo, are those for you-know-who?” she asked.

“Shh!” Marinette covered her sketchbook and glanced around to ensure no one had overheard. “Yes, but they’re not final. I’m just playing around with some ideas.”

“I like them,” Macy said. “Look at this one, Eliott. Eliott?”

He was unusually quiet that day, but Marinette had been too enthralled in her own work to notice. His nose was buried in a booklet, seemingly as engrossed in it as Marinette had been with her designs. He only looked up when Macy stuck her hand in front of his face.

“What?” He blinked.

“Marinette is designing top-secret things, and she needs opinions,” Macy said.

“Can’t you ask Martin?” he asked.

Macy gave him an incredulous look. “Martin left 10 minutes ago to go work with his group on their science project. Weren’t you listening?” She scolded. Though in Eliott’s defense, Marinette hadn’t noticed either.

“Oh, sorry. Guess I was distracted.” He closed the cover but marked the page with his finger. “So what do you need?”

Macy shook her head, taking a bite of her cake. “You two are such space cadets today.”

“What are you studying, Eliott?” Marinette asked. She tilted her head to get a better look at the cover.

“I’m in a community play, and we have rehearsal tonight,” he said nonchalantly.

“Wow, that’s so awesome! What part did you get?”

“Oh, it’s nothing special…” Eliott sat back with a smirk and shrugged.

“He’s being modest. He’s playing one of the leads, and he’s super excited about it. He memorized his lines in like 3 days, but he always reads over the script again before rehearsals.” Macy finished her cake and stood up. “I’m gonna get another drink. Help Marinette with her designs!”

“Fine, but can you get me a slice of that cake, please?” Eliott requested. He pressed his palms together with a smile. Macy rolled her eyes but headed for the dessert stand anyway.

“So, you got a lead role. What play are you guys doing?” Marinette asked, and Eliott tossed her the script.

Miraculous! The Battle of Heroes’ Day

“Oh, so it’s about Ladybug and Chat Noir,” Marinette said with as much casualty as she could muster. “Wait, if you’re playing a lead role then that means…”

“You guessed it, m’lady.” He winked.

Marinette bit back a laugh. The director definitely cast the right person. Put Eliott in a blond wig, and even she’d believe he was Chat Noir.

“That’s so awesome! When is it opening? I’d love to come watch.” She passed back the script, and he found his page again.

“Not for a couple more weeks, but if you want, I can see about getting you into one of our dress rehearsals soon,” he offered.

“Really? Yeah, I’d love to.”

Macy returned with Eliott’s slice of cake, but not before Gabrielle locked on target. “Did you save any cake for the rest of us? No wonder your uniform looks so tight these days.”

When Macy froze, Marinette turned to Gabrielle with a glare. “She got it for Eliott because some people don’t spend all of their time thinking about themselves.”

“I think about other people all the time,” Gabrielle said with a wicked grin. “I’ve actually been feeling sorry for Macy after Simon rejected her three weeks ago. If only she were prettier, then maybe Eliott would be more than just a friend.”

“Eliott and I aren’t like that.” Macy shot back.

“Clearly,” Gabrielle said with a grunt. “Tell me, Eliott. Have you ever thought about dating Macy?”

“Well, no, but-”

Gabrielle threw her head back with a laugh, and Macy’s cheeks flushed a deep red. She stormed from the cafeteria, tears bubbling in her eyes. Gabrielle watched her go with a triumphant smirk that made Marinette’s blood boil.

“You should go after her,” Marinette said to Eliott.

“Trust me, she doesn’t want to see me after that.” He shrugged and returned to his script.

“How can you say that? She’s your best friend, and best friends should always be there for each other no matter what!” Marinette slammed her palm on the table, but when Eliott refused to look at her, her jaw clenched. “You’re wrong. I think you’re the exact person Macy wants to see right now.” She didn’t wait for his reply before gathering her sketchbook and chasing after Macy.

The halls were empty and quiet, the chorus of chatter from the cafeteria fading as Marinette raced down the stairs. Macy was nowhere in sight, and Marinette didn’t know where to begin looking for her. After a week, Marinette was still learning her way around—not to mention still learning her new friends.

If it were Alya, Marinette knew exactly where to look, which treat from the bakery would always cheer her up, and as a last resort, where she was ticklish. She didn’t have those ins with Macy yet.

Eliott would know.

Eliott… How could he sit by while his friend was upset? Didn’t he care about her at all? If they really were best friends, then why didn’t he stand up for her and believe her when she said she was hurt? It was so obvious that Gabrielle just wanted attention. How could he let her come between them? Why did he let her walk away? Shouldn’t he chase after his best friend and make sure she was okay? Isn’t that what friends were supposed to do?

Marinette leaned against a row of lockers, shoulders heaving and tears stinging her eyes. Wasn’t she a good friend? Didn’t she always take care of everyone? So why would they turn their backs on her? How could they leave her all alone?

“What’s wrong, Marinette?” Tikki poked her head out of Marinette’s blazer.

Marinette sat on the floor with a sigh, resting her head against the lockers. “It just gets so hard,” she whispered. “Always being there for everyone. Being the one to fix everything for everyone. Sometimes I just wonder… who will be there to fix me when I need it?”

“You’ve got me,” Tikki said. She floated up to nuzzle Marinette’s cheek. “And your parents, Master Fu, Adrien.”

Marinette smiled at that, petting Tikki’s bulbous head with one finger. “Thanks, Tikki. I needed a friend.”

Screams echoed up the hall, and Marinette jumped to her feet. Shaking off the last of her doubts, she slapped her cheeks and took a deep breath. She wasn’t alone, and she would make sure her friends never were either.

“That sounded like it came from the cafeteria. I think it’s safe to say we know where Macy is,” Marinette said. “Transform me!”

Terrified teens with crooked teeth and unibrows rushed past as Ladybug entered the cafeteria. All around the room, her classmates cowered from the akuma zeroing in on Gabrielle in the center. Macy had become the perfect porcelain doll carrying a mirror in her hands—no doubt where the akuma was hiding.

Ladybug hooked her yoyo around Gabrielle’s shoulders and tugged her to safety, even if she deserved whatever punishment Macy was about to give her. “Get somewhere safe,” she ordered.

“Duh,” Gabrielle said. Ever the gracious one.

“You’re welcome.” Ladybug rolled her eyes as Gabrielle raced off.

With Gabrielle out of the way, the akuma settled for Thomas. She held her mirror in front of him, and his handsome face broke out in angry red zits. The misshapen students fleeing the cafeteria all made sense. Gabrielle told Macy she wasn’t attractive, so now she was making everyone else look the part instead.

“You shouldn’t have let her get away, Ladybug. I think everyone here would like to know what she’s ashamed of,” the akuma said.

While that much might have been true, Ladybug wasn’t in the business of agreeing with one of Hawkmoth’s villains. “Revenge is never the answer, Macy. You’re better than this. Let me help you.”

“I’m not Macy anymore. My name is Mirror-Mirror!” she shouted. Her glassy eyes bore all of her pain, the real Macy screaming inside. “If you want to help me, then give me your Miraculous!”

Ladybug dodged her strike, flipping backward onto a table. Mirror-Mirror wasted no time charging in again and again, the destructive force of her anguish taking its toll on the cafeteria. It was impossible to get a hit in edgewise without seeing herself in the mirror, and Chat Noir hadn’t turned up yet.

“Kitty, I’m battling an akuma, and I really need your help! Where are you?” Ladybug spoke into her yoyo phone. Looks like she’d have to navigate this one on her own. “Lucky Charm!”

A slingshot seemed straight forward enough, but what could she use as ammo? Nothing stood out, and in her moment of distraction, she barely dodged a flying table. Her lucky charm skittered across the floor as she stumbled into her landing, and Mirror-Mirror closed in.

“Mirror, Mirror on the wall, what darkest fears hide in us all?”

“No!” Ladybug tried to shield her face, but it was too late. Her eyes locked with her reflection, and she sank to her knees, all of the fight leaving her body.

What was happening? Everyone else got pimples or big feet, so why couldn’t she move? If Macy’s mirror made everyone unattractive, then why? Why did she feel so…helpless?

What darkest fears hide in us all?

Of course! Her mirror didn’t just make people unattractive. It turned them into the thing they’re most ashamed of—the parts of themselves they hid from the world. And what was Ladybug ashamed of? Failing? Perhaps. Having her identity exposed? Probably.

But as Mirror-Mirror reached for her earrings, their eyes locked, and she saw what she truly feared. The mirror didn’t take her powers. It took her will to fight. More than anything she wanted to save Macy. To save Alya. Her friends. Everyone. But her legs refused to move.

Ladybug’s greatest fear wasn’t losing. It was being powerless to help the people she loved most.

“I can’t do it,” she whispered, head falling.

Mirror-Mirror’s fingers closed around her earrings, but before she could remove them, Chat Noir’s staff struck her side, sending her flying into the wall.

“Ladybug!” He rushed to her side. “Sorry it took so long, m’lady. Are you alright?”

“No.” She shook her head.

Chat Noir cast a nervous glance at Mirror-Mirror as she stood up. “Come on. We’ve gotta move.”

“I can’t,” Ladybug repeated.

“Are you hurt?” Chat Noir bent one of her knees. “M’lady? What’s wrong?”

“I can’t save her, Chat Noir.”

He searched her expression before scooping her up and leaping out of the way of another attack. He set her down gently and brandished his staff. Would he leave her one day too? What if she couldn’t protect him either?

No. That was ridiculous. Chat Noir would always have her back.

You thought Alya would have your back too. Look how that turned out.

That was different. Lila was manipulating her.

Who’s to say a villain couldn’t do the same to Chat Noir? He could turn his back on you.

He wouldn’t.

But he could.

Ladybug squeezed her eyes shut, pushing against the darkness clouding her mind. Ever since she became Ladybug, she’d always relied on her head to get through tough situations. Now even her own thoughts were working against her. She didn’t know what to believe anymore. Macy needed her help. She needed to save her friends.

Mirror-Mirror kicked Chat Noir in the gut, spreading him on his back. His staff rolled into Ladybug’s feet as Mirror-Mirror closed in. She needed to help him, but her legs wouldn’t budge. Her lucky charm was only a few yards away. If she moved now, she could reach it before Mirror-Mirror changed Chat Noir too.

But what was the point? Even if she did reach it in time, she still hadn’t figured out what to do with it. This battle was over.

“Hey, Macy!” Eliott stood in the doorway, shoulders squared and head high. His hands were balled into tight fists to hide how they shook as he approached.

Ladybug assumed he ran away after getting zapped just like everyone else, but he looked completely normal. She hadn’t seen him since she left to find Macy, so he should have been in the cafeteria when Mirror-Mirror first attacked. Had he gone to look for Macy after all?

Mirror-Mirror abandoned Chat Noir, freeing him to rush to Ladybug’s side. He retrieved her lucky charm on the way and placed it in her hands. “Come on, Ladybug. Think.”

“I’m sorry I didn’t stand up for you earlier,” Eliott said, and when she raised her mirror, he shoved his hands in his pockets. “Go ahead if it will make you feel better, but it’s not going to do you any good.”

When Eliott remained unchanged, she lowered the mirror with a growl. “Why isn’t it working?”

“Because I’m already the thing I’m most ashamed of,” Eliott said. “I was a bad friend to you, and that hurts me more than anything else ever could. Marinette was right. Friends should never turn their backs on one another, and that’s why I’m never going to abandon you again.”

“LB.” Chat Noir placed a hand on her shoulder. “I’m here. What do you need?”

Eliott hadn’t abandoned Macy, and Chat Noir wasn’t abandoning her. Not all friendships were destined to fail. So long as she held onto her faith in the people she loved, everything would be alright.

Ladybug turned the slingshot over in her hands. If she combined it with Chat Noir’s staff… She loaded the slingshot and aimed for the pillar diagonally across from them. The staff ricocheted off the wall, soaring right into the mirror. The glass shattered, and a black butterfly fluttered out.

Chat Noir pulled her to her feet, and she captured the akuma with one swipe of her yoyo. She took a deep breath as Miraculous Ladybug returned everything to normal, the last traces of her insecurities fading. When Chat Noir offered her a fist, she stretched up to hug his neck instead—he didn’t complain.

As Hawkmoth’s magic faded, Macy collapsed forward into Eliott’s arms. “What happened?” she groaned.

“You were akumatized, but I’ve got you,” he said gently.

Students filed back into the cafeteria, cheering for another victory over Hawkmoth. Gabrielle stood at the back of the crowd, arms crossed over her chest, and Eliott eyed her with a frown.

“I know I should have stood up for you, but Gabrielle didn’t let me finish,” he said. “You’re not just a friend to me, Macy. You’re my family, so of course I’ve never thought of you that way.” When Gabrielle rolled her eyes, he continued, “I think this has shown us that we all have things about ourselves that we don’t like, and just because I’ve never seen you that way doesn’t mean I don’t think you’re really beautiful, Mace.”

Macy hugged his neck, prompting more cheers from their classmates. Ladybug and Chat Noir used the noise as cover to slip silently out the door.

♪♫♪ Stall Me ♪♫♪

The day was over when Adrien made it back to school. Most of the students had already gone home, and he believed Chloe had too until he rounded the corner to his locker. He was going to have to face her eventually, though he hoped to delay it a while longer.

She didn’t say anything, but he knew that look all too well. Arms crossed, hip cocked, lips pursed. It was the same look she gave her butler when he took too long to bring her sushi, and Adrien lowered his head like a puppy awaiting a scolding.

“Chloe, I-”

“Oh, now you want to speak.” She quirked a brow.

“I’m sorry!”

“What happened?” She demanded. “I needed your help, and you didn’t have my back. We could have exposed her!”

He averted his gaze. “I know.”

“Why didn’t you stick to the plan?”

“It just didn’t feel right. I panicked.” He rubbed the back of his neck. “Next time I’ll do better. I promise.”

“Next time? No one in this school is going to believe anything we say about her now because you chickened out!” She jabbed his chest with her finger. “I hope your conscience is happy. You made me look ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous! Maybe I should leave like Dupain-Cheng.”

“Chloe-”

“No! No more excuses. If you really want to stop Lila, then call me when you’re actually ready to do something,” Chloe said. With a flip of her ponytail, she shoved past him.

Adrien leaned against his locker with a sigh, running a hand through his hair. Mirror-Mirror didn’t have to show him what he was ashamed of—he already knew. He was a coward, and now everything was ruined.

Why the Akuma Class Doesn’t Trusts Lila Rossi

Nino

This dude is a loyal friend

Like, he’s also a loyal boyfriend, so it’s hard when his girlfriend is siding with Lila

But he’s the one who’s like

“Dudes, we’ve known Mari for years there’s no way she would do the stuff this new girl we’ve known for five minutes says she did.”

He and Kim and Mari were besties since preschool, I think we all know that.

Adrien

I hate it when people say he tries to defend her with the high road crap

When he sees her hurting people, especially Marinette

Because lets be honest, he cares about her alot

He’s less forgiven

Like do y’all remember the “BeCaUsE We’Re FrIeNdS, aReN’t We?”

So he’s not going to try and make her life miserable

But he is going to try to get her to stop

Chloé

Let’s be honest, she never liked Lila in the first place.

So Imma give y’all bonus “how she figured out everyone’s identities”

So once she became friends with Marinette

Cause they formed a “we hate Lie-la” alliance

(tho since Mari’s still friends with the others its kinda awkward)

Chloe’s pretty smart.

Like, she totally could have figured it out before they became friends

But she would never have believed back then that Mari-trash was Ladybug, her idol (and lesbian awakening, lesbihonest)

But now that she’s friends with her, it’s way too obvious

And she definitely already knew about Adrien because these guys are besties

And, dudes, she never had a crush on him, she was just an overprotective best friend

And a very touchy one

To her, it’s all pretty obvious.

She thinks that its just whatever magic thats blinding everyone of the obvious, its immune to (like low-key Rachel Dare here)

But Sabine, Tom, and Jagged probably know to because they’re all Kings and Queens.

So Chloe figures everyone out pretty quickly.

Sabrina

She trust Chloe more than anyone.

But I’m not just gonna use that because its kinda boring.

Tho Chloe is her bi crush so that definitely helps secure loyalties

Its only when Marinette becomes MDC that she realizes

and yes, Sabrina probably knows because Chloe and she also recognizes the designs from some stuff she has in her own closet.

So anyway, she realizes Mari is MDC and she’s some famous designer and Lila is not

And Mari also knows Jagged and Clara and a whole bunch of other famous people

And she never brags about it but there’s proof that she knows them

while Lila always brags about it but she’s never been mentioned and no one knows her.

Alya

I hate it when people say she totally sides with Lila.

This girl knows that her bestie never lies(or at least thinks)

and some things with Lila don’t add up.

Like she doesn’t check directly if what Lila says is true

But she’ll be doing research for something else and see’s that it contradicts something that Lila said.

So she’ll do more research and try to figure more stuff out

And she’s like holy f*ck nothing Lila says is true.

Or, alternatively, for those of you who have watched season 4

She immediately realizes Lila’s a liar right after Marinette tells her she’s Ladybug.

Marinette

No explanation needed.

Mylène

Mylene notices when Lila insults one of her classmates one day.

Even if its subtle, or just piping on the edge of her blaming Marinette for something, she notices it.

And a good person wouldn’t say something like that,

Like Chloe, they all expect something like that from

No one every really liked Chloe in the first place

And Mari never says anything rude

Sure, she gets angry at Chloe and Lila sometimes, and she tries to prove what they say is wrong, but she never directly attacks someone.

I don’t know who Lila was being a bitch to this time, but it cost her a follower.

Alix

This girl is probably one of the most Gen Z kids in the Akuma Class, which is pretty sad because they’re all supposed to be Gen Z.

She can smell bullcrap from a mile away

Not to mention the little hints older Bunnyx drops whenever she visits.

With the mix of her being the future miraculous holder of time and being the daughter of a historian, she’s very aware of history and timelines and cause and effects and chain reactions

So when Marinette starts ‘acting up’ she tries to find when her personality switched over

And even if she seems more like a background character, this aro/ace queen always seems to know your secrets.

So even before she knew Lila was a phony, she knew that Mari was MDC and that Jagged Stone was Juleka and Luka’s dad

So she definitely figured some stuff out that way

Honestly, next to Chloe, Alix was probably one of the first people to figgure out Mari’s identity.

She’s a detective to rival batman

Ivan

I think Lila would make some sort of rift between him and Mylene.

He loves her so much and it would be so hard

And mari and her friends would help him out

and he would see the truth

They wouldn’t like break up or anything

But he can just tell immediately when someone’s being a bad person.

Kim

Probably something similar to Nino

But I think it’d be a bit more like he’s totally a die-hard fan of some of Marinette’s connections or some of Marinette’s work itself

And when he puts the pieces together its like everything makes sense in the world.

He really feels super stupid afterwards.

Ondine probably slaps him for not trusting his childhood best friend before some bitchy new girl.

Max

This is the smartest dude in class

He made a f*cking robot with emotions you can’t tell me he doesn’t figure Lila out.

A part of me believes that in the first episode with Lila when they were all waiting on her hand and foot they were probably aware that she was kind of delusional, but were giving into it the way you give into the tales of a six year old.

Like ‘yeah, okay sweetie. Sure’.

I mean, at least that’s why Max went along with the napkin thing, because there’s no other excuse for that whole incident.

Nathaniel

I don’t totally know how he figured her out, but I love the idea of her saying that she can introduce him to the creator of the Ladybug Comics.

They actually sit next to each other in class, so he definitely is more aware of her weird behavior than others.

And since he’s an artist he’s very observant, always noticing things like her facial expressions and what seems more exaggerated than real.

And we all know how kwami-damned done Nathaniel is with the class, so he probably knew all along.

Not to mention that since the rest of the school is less submissive to Lila’s lies, Marc probably pointed it out to him at some point.

There’s also the idea that since Nathaniel is pretty much never mentioned anymore, the class forgets about him and he ends up having to spend some time with Marinette and the other outcasts

In which he realizes that they are actually good people.

Honestly, Nathaniel probably knew all along but he’s just not a drama queen about it so Lila never bothered him.

Rose

Girls besties with Prince Ali, one of the key components of Lila’s lies

She definitely does not want to believe that someone is capable of so much evil, and she definitely gets Akumatized when she figures it out

She goes through a lot of denial but is eventually convinced.

Juleka

Her dad is Jagged Stone, also another key component of Lila’s lies.

After becoming Tigris Pourpre, the holder of the tiger miraculous (that’s canon in the future), she gets a little bit more invested in cat culture

And omfg I just realized that both of our models are kittens and I just wanna DIE because that’s so cute.

And honestly now that I’m thinking about it if she was a celebrity she would totally take after Jagged and have an emotional support tiger like Princess Jasmine.

ANYWAY, I’m kinda getting off topic here.

So she asks Jagged about his cat, and he’s like

“wtf I’ve never had a cat why would I have a cat I have FANG my CROCODILE”

And she’s like but your cat...

And he’s like “Jules, darling, I wrote a song about how I replaced my family with a guitar and I have three instagrams for Fang, why would I have a feline animal?”

And she’s just like

....

And honestly she probably already knew some sh*t was up before that

Because Luka obviously, despite only having met Lila, like, once, probably, dislikes Lila severely

And also Juleka is more of an observer than a do-er so she probably saw that some stuff was up.
