Chapter Text
Idea #1 (AU where Chat Blanc happened prior to Sandboy)
Using Sandboy, create Marinette’s nightmare manifested by said akuma to be Chat Blanc, instead of what happened in canon. This way, Chat Blanc has a chance to become ‘real’ and physical in a sense that has only been in her nightmares.
- Possibly cause panic attacks?
- Flashbacks from previous nightmares
- Death
- Destruction
- Yet to decide whether I want ‘Sandboy Chat Blanc’ to cause any real collateral damage to Paris
- Confrontation with Present Chat Noir
- Confusion
- A little off coordination in their attacks
- Background nightmares or unnecessary?
- Adrien having his nightmare will also play a relatively vital part but not as major as Chat Blanc
- Perhaps add in a little deja-vu in between Ladybug and Chat Blanc’s face-off?
- Interesting dilemma that considers CB knows Marinette is Ladybug… could b used for reveal.
- Brushed off during akuma attack circumstances despite initial shock and uncomprehending
- Later discussion b/w CN and LB about CB, it takes a little convincing (and calming the heck down) after the scare, but eventually LB confesses her ordeal with Bunnyx, that timeline and stuff.
- So… yeah. Angst, definitely. Hurt/Comfort, and let’s make it Angst with a Happy Ending.
- Partial Reveal halfway, and afterwards, complete reveal.
- Ofc Adrien being conflicted due to CB and then Mari just… and then suddenly Adrien decides to, you know, reveal. Not the best reveal, but will include a few fluffy scenes to make up for it.
- Might not be possible to tie things up with a perfect bow, so make sure to balance things with each draft. Don’t attempt to perfect things with first draft.
