(also i am aware of how inconsistent nath's hair is, im sorry.. this is just a messy little sketch i thought of)

oh, what a wonderful question!

i've thought about it a bit before, and i can't fully answer your question yet without going down a completely different rabbit hole (thanks to everyone's favourite rooster).. then again, no matter what i do, this answer is gonna be long regardless.

so, here is what i am willing to provide currently:

「・」　The general answer

the power of the miraculous is only as limited as the owners of it are. this extends from general factors (age) to more individualistic reasons (self-perception) .. the miraculous have their powers based on different concepts, yet sometimes they have similar functions (e.g. "lucky charm" vs. "genesis")

and so, for this AU, their initial powers will be taken a bit further to make up for the missing miraculous.

they don't have anything as extreme as a "miracle cure," but they do have an extra thing or two. when it comes to cleanup post-akuma, they like to divide the work.

CapriKid -> Handling Deakumatization.

Rooster Bold -> returning Paris back to a neutral state.

Even with this system, Paris never truly goes "back to normal" -- but it gets really close each time..

「・」　“De-Akumatization”

"colour-dropping," similar names .. done by Caprikid!

For a short amount of time, CapriKid didn't have an answer to dealing with akumas, either - only being told that they "couldn't let them get away unpurified." so they would just.. kill them.

the issue with that, though, is that beyond the magic in the akuma, the akuma is still a butterfly. kill too many butterflies, and suddenly, the ecosystem is imbalanced. (so says Rooster Bold.)

the solution they came up with is that [deakumatization / "colour-dropping"] allows them to remove the negativity/affect of the akuma by wiping it off with their paintbrush!

when they do this, the butterfly gets purified; the original "negative" hue of the akuma stays with Caprikid to be repurposed for later. :D

(down is a small thing i made for this a bit ago waow)

.. and neither of us are ready to have a serious discussion about Rooster Bold, so we'll leave his portion off by saying "upgraded variant of sublimation" that allows him to:

restore damaged inorganic material to what it was before based off of what he remembers it is supposed to be.

and

restore the organic (people/etc.) to a natural state so long as both parties believe the claim of normality

are we good? good. for now until i feel prepared to touch on whatever can of worms i accidentally opened for RB, have these two pencil sketches of marc (and his fawning for nathaniel or whatever)

please let me know any other things i could do for improvement! i love to hear other people's ideas <3

definitely more than i like my own like actually what the hell is this..

「・」 Miraculous: GENESIS

(click to zoom for higher quality!)

.. Where along with the Peacock and Butterfly miraculouses, the Ladybug and Black Cat miraculouses go missing as well! Unlike the former two, however, they have yet to be found.

Hawkmoth, desperate to seek out the remaining missing miraculous, uses the butterfly brooch for evil ー creating villains to terrorize the city and seek out the missing treasures. In order to try and stop him, two different miraculouses are given out to a pair to try and stop him.

Upon urgent request, Caprikid and Rooster Bold take to protecting Paris and scouring the land for any sign of the miraculous. While in their civilian lives, Marc and Nathaniel meet in a struggle to express themselves.. They take together to try and revive the art club, to spread newfound passion to everyone around them!

Miraculous: Genesis, in an attempt for two inspired heroes to try and rewrite this hopeless future..!

aww look cute little chart below..

+ rough sketches of caprikid / rooster bold

edit: 4 am. i look back at rooster bold post-haze clarity. i feel the despair.

maybe i was a bit silly.

self-explanatory
