Adrien Agreste could usually pretend he was fine. He'd never faltered from his regimen of fake smiles since childhood. At twenty-six years old he was an accomplished model with nearly a million to his name. Some would look at him and swoon: a perfect man with a perfect life. What they failed to see were the heartache and the trauma. As Adrien, he couldn't be anything less than perfect. Everything he did was monitored, everything he did was rehearsed. He was a pawn in his father's game, which came with all the perks of abuse and depression. But as Chat Noir, he could be himself. He could be goofy and silly without being chastised. He could cry without being tormented. But when his lives bleed together, his pain becomes too much. "M-make sure you g-get a better partner this time... little bug."

[OLD] We all know and love the tales of Ladybug and Chat Noir, but what if we explored one of the stories in an alternate universe? One a little more gruesome, a little more brutal, one a little more... bloody? [THIS IS NOT THE NEW ONE & NOT CANNON TO THE AU] Our AU follows a girl named Marinette, who's sick of having to be flawless and perfect all the time, and Adrien, a boy dying to get out of his father's controlling and forceful grasp. When these two meet and start fighting crime together, the perfect concoction of hatred and murder is born, also known as, Ladyblood and Wild Chat. Art on the cover belongs to me. This is a finished story. to see how the characters look, look at my instagram at chats_lady 💖
