ML Fic: The Lessons of the Guardians

(This takes place during Season 4)

( Can read on AO3)

The Bushy brow monk stood on a rooftop overlooking Paris. Even though he has spent several weeks in Paris he still found himself fascinated with the beautiful lights.

"They are so bright that they even outshine the stars." He spoke to himself.

He heard a soft humming coming from his robe.

"Could it be?"

The monk frantically searched his robes to reveal an orb no bigger than his palm. It was covered in runes reminiscent of the Guardian's secret Language.

"So its been 100 years already."

You know, I quite like the idea of Chat Noir owning the Guardian staff while Ladybug keeps the Miracle Box. 

You know, that would be the ultimate sign of trust.

The staff which both of them know could find the miracle box.

Ladybug trusting Chat noir to have it so that he could find it or her if something were to happen.

Marinette is keeping the miracle box in her home. With the staff Chat noir could find Ladybug, find her identity.

If she gave him this, that would probably show chat noir that he is trusted and loved.

(F***) Now I want a comic of that and Chat noir being emotional about it.

Okay but wouldn’t that lead to Gabriel finding Ladybug?? It’s not like he respects his sons privacy… he already suspected him once and look what he did then…

This is a possible consequence, yes. But the point is still the same. If Ladybug finally gets her Guardian Staff and decided to entrust it to Chat Noir and naming him co-guardian, it would still be a mark of trust that CN is able to protect the staff so it doesn’t fall into the wrong hands and doesn’t use this item for his own personal gain. It is still a powerful and meaningful move nonetheless. And I’m pretty sure Chat Noir would hide it well. Not to mention the staff might adapt its shape to match with its owner’s style (like how Fu’s cane was a Guardian staff)

Now, if Ladybug knew Chat Noir and Shadow Moth are related, this would obviously be an obstacle to this decision (Chat Noir knowing Shadow Moth is his father would be another factor). But from my point of view, I think this scenario is more optimal narratively if neither knew each other’s secret identity.

And who knows? Maybe if Ladybug names Chat Noir co-guardian, the staff would merge with his baton somehow. Just like LB has access to the Miraculous through her yoyo.

Plus, like, Gabriel would have to actually pay attention to Adrien for him to figure anything out.
