Thanks for requesting @crystalhearte !! 

me too :)

Hmm. I’m not completely sold on Chloe×Lila bc I think they would constantly be in a battle of wills to be the top dog of the relationship (pun intended bc they both obviously are tops), but I do believe they all are queer so… accepted! (I’m also working on a Papa Garou AU fic involving Kagaminette, and a 9 To 5 AU salt fic so stay tuned!!)

Anyway, some headcanons for you:

It starts with Frozer. Neither girl is ready to admit it, but there’s a spark when Kagami helps Marinette up

They get close. Bonding starts bc “wow this man is clueless” and they begin seeing what they have in common

They teach each other- Marinette learns how to stop apologizing for her feelings/desires, Kagami learns to be softer

Adrien first sees them hanging out and is like “great my two friends!! are friends now!!”

But they get closer and suddenly he’s not really included? And he’s confused because he wants to know what they’re so closely whispering about

Marinette isn’t backing down anymore and now has Kagami “Takes No Bullshit” Tsurugi backing her up, which is a Big Problem for Chloe and Lila because they can’t just get away with their bullying anymore

So Chloe and Lila start plotting together (“an alliance until our mutual enemy, Marinette Dupain-Cheng, and her pet are destroyed” - Chloe, probably)

They approach Adrien trying to prove how horrible Marinette and Kagami are, and realize after a few tries that he’s not going to change his mind but he’s too spineless to be concerned with

They get closer without Adrien as a romantic prospect for either of them and “wait actually I like your fashion and your hair and your attitude and yeah you’re close enough to my level”

So they start dating too

And Adrien Agreste is very confused and sad when he sees all of his former admirers (“friends”) getting on without him and lavishing their attention on each other instead of him

Okay, maybe I really really like this AU. I’m standing by my statement that Chloe and Lila would eventually have too much conflict, but til then, this is delicious. I don’t really like Sadrien, but I’ll stand for Confused “wait are all my girlfriends dating each other instead” Adrien

My first instinct would be to write Audrey out completely instead of trying to fix her. Writing her out wouldn’t (or shouldn’t) hinder Chloe’s arc. There’s nothing to lose with her core character because her behavior was always informed by how her father spoiled her along with being exposed to his corrupt handling of politics, hence why she’s a brat who bully’s her way into getting whatever she wants. Her character should have been solely about simply becoming a better person after it really hits home how much damage she causes.

Yes! Not only is the lead a bi woman. She’s a bi woman of color who ends the show in an interracial relationship with another woman where neither of them are white, and there’s tons of other women of color in the cast. Their get-together is (strongly) implied, but this was back before any western animated kids’ show had explicitly queer main characters, and their relationship was made explicit in the comics. Personally, I know I’ll never be able to recapture the way I felt watching the last few minutes of the finale for the first time.

In terms of plot and pacing, they struggled some in the first season and a half, but overall it’s a good show that I would recommend.
