For November this year I wrote the following prompt-based fics, totalling 25,635 words:
A Legion of Hideous Minions (Gargoyles)
Failure, Horror, Shock, Heartbreak (Miraculous)
Escape From Reality (Miraculous)
Her Own Words (Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon)
Displaced, of Unknown Provenance (Original)
Blind Repair (Avatar: The Last Airbender)
Okay, here are two somewhat similar ideas I had for serious/sad Miraculous fics. I would love if you did either one!
First one. Ladybug and Chat Noir have been permanently defeated, and everyone knows it. Another girl finds the Ladybug earrings and takes it upon herself to become the new Ladybug. However, she has to face an unexpected problem: the earrings are still haunted by memories of the emotional issues that caused the Miraculous team to fail in the first place.
Second one. By some shenanigans (time travel, parallel universes, whatever), Marinette and/or Adrien have to view or enter a series of alternate realities in which Ladybug and Chat Noir have been unable (or unwilling) to stop certain villains. In each reality, one akumatized villain, now unopposed, has been able to continue using their powers, taking their method/goal to its logical extreme. Now, Marinette/Adrien are forced to (briefly) deal with the creepy outcomes of each scenario.
Thanks, bro! Working on it!
And here is your first super sad story.
And here’s the second one. Thanks very much for the prompts!!
I’m not sure if you would be interested, but I feel like the Starlights don’t really have enough fics about them? I’m particularly interested in Yaten and her apparent (psychic? emphatic?) abilities. None of the Solar Senshi were able to tell when a Star Seed was taken, yet she always did. How was she affected when her own planet was destroyed? I mean, could it be a reason for her to close herself off and become so resistant to getting attached again? I feel like one of the reasons she never lost faith in the Princess and knew she was somewhere out there was because she could sense that she was alive, but then seeing her die would have hit her twice as hard. It also seemed to me that while Taiki and Seiya could be a little harsh on each other, they were more tolerant of Yaten’s mood swings and when they did scold her (i.e. for throwing away fans’ letters) they were always gentle. Lastly, her name’s Healer but she doesn’t seem to have the ability to actually heal – or could that be that by cutting herself away from her emotions she also cut away her healing powers? (we do know some other characters have these.) I feel like there is much to explore here (not necessarily in the way I see it). Or maybe not, and I’m terribly wrong… Thanks anyway ^^
Dammit! It’s empathic, not emphatic. Sorry about that XD
These are some great thoughts, and I think I can see how to work them into a story. I’ll get on it!
That’s a relief, I wasn’t sure if I was able to get any of this across coherently. Thank you, can’t wait to see where you take this!
I’m pretty excited about it! There’s one story I’m working on ahead of you, but I’ll get to this next!
And here it is, friend! I hope you enjoy it! Thanks so much for the prompt!
