ok but
what if Adrien’s mother was originally Nooroo’s chosen? What if she got harmed somehow performing her duties and the job of picking up where she left off was not left to a tooyoung at the time Adrien (who destiny had other plans for anyway) but to Gabriel? What if Gabriel, due to a combination of likely self blame, misplaced guilt (because she was /perfectly capable of protecting herself thank you very much) and grief, started to search for the mythical power one gets when they join Chat’s ring and Ladybug’s earrings in an attempt to get her /back?
YES YES YES THIS. AND GABRIEL DOES NOT WANT HIS SON OUTSIDE TO PROTECT HIM FROM WHATEVER GOT HIS MUM AND ALSO TO KEEP HIM FROM GETTING AKUMATIZED.
AAAAH.
(I already said this in chat but -hair flips- whatever)
im lau ghin g @jokerduo made a post here that you should really look at for context and @kagmeh said that she would die if I wrote it bc those are two of her biggest fandoms/otps so wELL HERE WE GO
“Alfred this is /ludicrous.”
“Aww come on Arthur cosplay’s fun!” Alfred says, winding a hand around the smaller country’s shoulders as he talks. “I’m need to have a word with Kiku later.” He promises, looking completely unamused. “For more ideas??” Alfred asks, doing his best impersonation of an excited puppy. Arthur has to force himself to not smile at the nation’s antics.
“No. Why he thought /this” He points to all of himself. “Would be a good one.” “Why not Arthur? You look good.” He says, offering the rose that he’d pulled out of seemingly nowhere to the island nation. Arthur lets out a puff of air that resembles a laugh. “Are you trying to pull that senpai thing on me? It’s not going to work.” “Oh?~” The trill to Alfred’s voice almost visibly shows him locking onto a challenge, leaning close to Arthur and pointedly looking at his lips. Arthur takes half a step backwards, ending up pushing over a chair that ends up breaking almost cleanly in two. The two look at it, then at each other. “You’re /kidding me.” Alfred says, his voice flat as he looks at the broken piece of furniture in blank incredulity. “How the hell did you-” “This means nothing!” Arthur flushed, the first episode of the DVD Kiku had sent along with the cosplays flashing into his mind. Alfred switches gears on a dime. “Really?” He leans close, brushing some of Arthur’s hair out of the way to whisper in his ear. Arthur’s entire body freezes up and he tries not to visibly shiver. “They get maried in the manga.” He says before sauntering off. It takes Arthur a full 10 minutes to recover.
