An AU where Chat becomes Hawkmoth's partner in crime. "I'm Adrien Agreste. I thought I was a normal boy with a normal life, but my father has a secret that I must protect at all cost, because it just might save my family's future." At first, Adrien thought that the day he found out that his father was the supervillain terrorizing the people of Paris was the worst day of his life, but in retrospect, it might have been the one change needed to save his family. Because it was also the day that both of them realized that, when they don't need to be Adrien and Gabriel Agreste, they're both goofier than they realized. Follow the adventures of Hawkmoth, Chat Noir, and their reluctant assistant who doesn't get paid enough, Nathalie, as they try to navigate life as a supervillain family. And pray for Ladybug's, and her new partner's, sanity as she suffers their antics.

Preview:

This time, Hawkmoth was aware of Mayura landing before she got the drop on him, but he still let her creep closer, slightly curious how she’d approach him. He didn’t expect her to just settle down beside him, leaning over the railing, barely brushing her arm against his, sighing to herself without a quip to dispense.

The silence between them stretched on until Hawkmoth broke the ice.

“My mother was an alcoholic.”

“Huh?”

“My wife was too.” He fiddled with his fingers, face contorting into a flinch with every word, “I never liked who they were when they were drunk, even if my wife tried to protect me by taking her episodes outside. She thought I never noticed, but I did, I always did.”

Neither Gabriel nor Hawkmoth were good at saying thank you. He supposed this was a manner of compromise, offering her those crumbs of history that she valued for reasons he couldn’t understand, answering those incessant questions that felt so pointless to ask.

“That’s… that’s why I’m stingy about alcohol.”

He heard Mayura take a few steps back, a light gasp slipping from her lips, “I never knew-” she caught herself on something and cleared her throat, “I never thought about it like that. Forgive me, I was being insensitive the other night.”

He waved his hand, dismissing her apology, “I doubt I have any room to complain about another being ‘insensitive’ about information they don’t even have.”

The casual confession seemed to give her pause, pulling herself together before she slipped by his side once more, slotting in so perfectly, like she belonged there. “Heartbreaker must have really rattled you if you’re in a forgiving mood.”

Ok I’ve just found Lila x Alya and I kind of? Maybe ship? Like just a little?

But imagine it kind of salty but also maybe redemption???

Alya kinda starts liking Lila because “yeah she’s my best friend but if she wanted to make out I wouldn’t be against it” and “when she laughs it’s so cute”, plus she works for a load of charities and is bilingual! She realises she has a crush on Lila and breaks up with Nino. Lila can either show emotions and like Alya back, or just use her for fame and date her for selfish reasons? If so then when her lies are exposed Alya gets a redemption arc? Possible Lila redemption with the former reason?

Marinette’s super conflicted in the background because her best friend broke up with her boyfriend for a borderline sociopath and she has to put up with it but also Lila is showing true emotions of the good kind? So maybe she’ll come around?

Or if it’s salty Alya gets really defensive about her crush/gf when Marinette says she’s a liar so they break off their friendship/slowly distance themselves? And because Alya is no longer with Nino he gets redeemed so is back to being besties with Marinette?

I have no idea I’ve just never seen Lila x Alya except for like 2 posts?
