Astrocat Adventures

I post Miraculous what-ifs here. They are all focused on Adrien Agreste AKA Chat Noir. Crossovers with a select few fandoms may occur.

Asks are welcome, but I may close them if I get overwhelmed.

I intend to post my stories to AO3 as well, but I'm still waiting for an invitation. Details to come in the future.

Adrien woke groggily and was surprised to find himself in a smaller, simpler bedroom. The cozy space was decorated much like before, but there was no trace of anything Gabriel had forced on him that he didn't like. Adrien was dressed in a white Persona 5 tee and green plaid pajama pants; comfy, normal attire that Gabriel would never have approved.

Adrien's memory of the last few days was foggy at best, but at least he felt calm and at peace. Well, save for not knowing where he was or why. Adrien climbed to his feet, senses on high alert, and headed into the adjacent hall. The blond boy's feet were silent on the faux-wood floors, or so he thought. Soon, he arrived in a modest kitchen and dining room that reminded him of Nino's house.

"Finally, you're up. You feeling alright, kit?"

The voice was unmistakable, but deeper than before, settling at the high end of the male vocal range. It was also less energetic than usual; a bone-deep exhaustion seeping through.

Plagg stood in pale, human form with jet-black hair and bright green eyes. The fallen god wore a black t-shirt with a cat pun on the chest, gray sweatpants, white tube socks, and some fuzzy black cat slippers.

"Fine, I think. Where are we? Why and how are you human?"

Plagg, despite his fatigue, gave a shit-eating grin.

"This is our new home. Adrien, I am your father."

As insane as that sounded, and as much as he needed to process, Adrien could not help but play along. He grabbed the refrigerator handle with his left hand, holding on as if his life depended on it.

"No, that's not true. That's impossible!"

Plagg chuckled, extending a hand.

"Search your feelings, you know it to be true!"

Adrien smiled, eyes wet, and grabbed his father's- no, his dad's hand. Plagg pulled his son into a tight hug, the two sharing a short laugh. After a moment, he pressed a chaste kiss to the boy's forehead.

"I love you, Adrien. More than all the cheese in the world."

"I love you too, dad."

It was over. Monarch had the Cat and Ladybug MIraculouses and was prepared to make his wish. And yet, he was too distracted by his son's body, the crumpled form he caused, to start the process. Marinette chastised him and the two started talking, taking their focus off the two traumatized kwamis expected to reshape reality.

Plagg was already apoplectic, but the decision to lie to Adrien yet again sent him over the edge. Never before had his rage boiled to such a level. Were he not focused, the resulting outburst would have made the destruction of the dinosaurs look like squashing a fly.

"Tikki, Plagg, reveal yourselves!"

Tikki gasped as she was forced into her full form, but knew there was no stopping her partner. Gabriel blanched, eyes wide as grapefruits.

"I-Impossible! You can't do this!"

Plagg did not dignify the bastard with a response.

"Gimmi, reveal yourself!"

From the Kwami of Reality, Plagg's voice spoke alone, something until now unthinkable.

"I wish Adrien were happy and loved. I wish that Adrien was safe from Gabriel's evil and his cowardly assistant. I wish Adrien was safe from Marinette, for reasons too long to list! I wish that Adrien could just live quietly as a normal boy with at least one supportive parent."

Marinette turned red with anger and embarrassment. Both she and Gabriel tried to protest, but were drowned out by Gimmi.

"This can be done only at great cost. What will you sacrifice?"

Plagg's voice responded immediately.

"My power and immortality. They mean nothing next to my kitten."

"Wait!" Gabriel argued, "There has to be a Kwami of Destruction! The universe depends on it!"

Plagg scoffed.

"That may be, but it doesn't have to be me."

Gimmi's voice boomed through the room.

"The deal is made. So be I."
