A Fanfiction Idea

A “Fan Episodes” Fanfiction

Basically a fanfic that is written similarly to the show (chapters are about an akuma per episode along with some character interactions/developement here and there) but the story progresses much quicker than the show.

I had this idea for a long, long time and story itself takes Season 3 finale and some Season 3 episodes non-canon due to this idea being planned earlier than some episodes (I started the planning phase after Ladybug episode, and the story starts after that episode).

In example, first few episodes are simply “saltfics” except characters aren’t butchered at all (personality wise obviously). Like LB tells Alya that Lila lied all along while causing her to go “My god what have I done ?” early on and the oh-so-called Marinette protection squad/Lila Exposure Division (LED) is formed with five or so members without OC’s (at first, that is). Story takes a wee bit more realistic route.

Most characters (yes, even Chloe AND Lila eventually) realize that they made mistakes and they try to develop together (In example, Adrien starts to be more aware of things happening around himself, Alya becoming a better journalist and friend, Chloe starts to see the error in her ways and put effort to be a better person.)

As the story goes on, it gets progressively darker and more serious but doesn’t reach “grimdark” levels of darkness. As time goes on, Akumas become stronger and Hawkmoth starts to gather more allies. Eventually, story resolves the canon issues (Love Square, Lila Drama and who stays as a miraculous holder and who doesn’t.) and story explores its own universe while ignoring canon here and there for storytelling purposes. Additionally, story switches between reconstructing and deconstructing the show.

And just like a good portion of fanfics, there will be OC’s both heroic and villainous.

What do you guys think of it ?
