History Fanfic / HeroChat

* AgeLift: The members of Bustier's class are sixteen, rather than the fourteen years they are in the show. Luka's an either bigger example, as while he was Juleka's twin in canon, here he's her older half-brother by about a year and a half, putting him close to Age 18.

* AgeLift: The members of Bustier's class are sixteen, rather than the fourteen years they are in the show.

* ForWantOfANail: Used quite extensively.
** The other heroes being made aware that Chloé is Honeybee made it possible for them to provide her with a support network, allowing her to calm down before the Miraculer Akuma got close enough for Sabrina to be forced to take it in her place. Instead, the Akuma went to Lila Rossi.
** The Battle of the Miraculous went completely OffTheRails.
*** Because Chloé already had the Bee Miraculous, all he could offer Chloé was the Tiger Miraculous.
*** As soon as Hawkmoth left Chloé, she used the chat to immediately warn the heroes about what had happened.
*** This warning, combined with Master Fu allowing Ladybug to make some of the others permanent heroes earlier, meant that Lila, who became Miracle Queen in Chloé's place, didn't have as many Miraculouses to work with.
*** Lacking Miraculous and temporary heroes to work with, Lila had to settle for randomly handing out what she had to random people, preventing any members of the team from being outed to Hawkmoth.
*** Because the outcome of Miracle Queen was less of a disaster, [[InSpiteOfANail while Master Fu still passed guardianship of the Miraculous to Marinette]], he did so calmly in a way that did not wipe his memories.
** At this point there's no way the events of season 5 can occur as in canon due to the fact Marinette has given out all but one of the Miraculous out and Felix is a hero in this story.

** When discussing the Adrinette lovesquare, Alix and Chloe make a wager on whether or not either or them tried to recommend the other for a Miraculous [[spoiler:Chloe wins on both counts]].

** The idea of using the Rabbit Miraculous' time tavel powers as a quick fix is quickly nixed by Alix; time travel here works on the multiverse principle, meaning that if she were to try and MakeRightWhatWentWrong (such as preventing Fu from accidently destroying the Guardians), all she'd do is create alternate timelines whilst leaving her and the others stuck in their own, Hawkmoth-plagued one.

* ArbitrarySkepticism: Defied. Max admits that he would had been more skeptical of André's "Soulmate Ice Cream" if it weren't for the magic battles that has been happening over the past year and a half.

** The idea of using the Rabbit Miraculous' time tavel powers as a quick fix is quickly nixed by Alix; time travel here works on the multiverse principle, meaning that if she were to try and MakeRightWhatWentWrong (such as preventing Fu from accidently destroying the Guardians, or Hawkmoth from finding the Butterfly and Peacock Miraculi), all she'd do is create alternate timelines whilst leaving her and the others stuck in their own, Hawkmoth-plagued one.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: During their [[spoiler:identity reveal]] and their flirt-sparring, Marinette laments the frustration of her love square with Adrien, since she's been rejecting him (as Chat Noir) for ''him''. Adrien admits that's a pretty good reason to kill him, which causes Marinette to calm down and both of them to laugh...[[spoiler:at least until Marinette finds out that both Chloé and Alix snuck out during the chaos]].

** While entering Marinette's dream, Marc finds everyone is a puppet and Juleka is Kermit the Frog with a wig. This is a Shout-Out to [[https://archiveofourown.org/users/SorryJustAnotherPerson/pseuds/SorryJustAnotherPerson SorryJustAnotherPerson]], a writer who has Kermit as their profile picture and writes many stories with Juleka.
* SideBet: When the other heroes learn that Adrien's identical cousin [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Felix]] is coming over, they set bets on who he'll cause to get Akumatized. While Marinette is uncomfortable about betting on new Akumas, Nino suggests it as strategic speculation to know what kind of Akuma to expect. [[spoiler:Chloé wins the bet when Lila gets Akumatized after she mistakes Felix for Adrien and he tells her to back off]].
* SimpleSolutionWontWork: Very early on in the fanfic, Team Miraculous propose trying to get rid of [[ConsummateLiar Lila Rossi]] by simply informing Lila's mother of her daughter's manipulations. They then shoot the idea down because, if Lila could get away with such things as pretending the school was closed for a whole month by an Akuma attack to play hooky, it means Mrs. Rossi is either utterly oblivious or, worse yet, on Lila's side.

*** In addition to all of them, there are several other costumes mentioned, such as other Mario cosplayers, a Franchise/SpiderMan cosplayer, a [[Franchise/{{Danganronpa}} Junko Enoshima]] cosplayer and Costume Change was revealed to be someone from ''Hetalia''.

* DemotedToExtra: Su-Han appears in one chapter before swiftly being dealt with, mostly because the heroes refuse to let the Kwami go back to the conditions they were stuck in and because he has no plans to deal with Hawkmoth. Thus, the heroes [[AlwaysABiggerFish call the Dragon Lady on him]]. While he's not ''dead'', he's in no position to reenter the story.

** In canon, Marc uses the Rooster Miraculous while Nathanial has the Goat. Here, it's the other way around.

** [[spoiler:In ''The Winter Gala'', it's revealed that prior to the main story that Gabriel and Emilie had discussed Nathalie's feelings for the two of them as well as their feelings for her, implying they wanted to start a polygamous relationship with her. However, that was put on hold after Emile fell to her illness. After a present-day discussion, both Gabriel and Nathalie agree that they won't act on their feelings until she is brought back to them]].

* SharedFamilyQuirks: Chloé states that Adrien's "[[ObliviouslyInLove Just A Friend]]" quirk is common on his mom's side of the family, with Felix acting the same to Bridgette in a more {{Tsundere}} matter. She also suspects that Emilie might have been the same with Natalie if her {{Polyamory}} theory about the two and Gabriel is correct.

* YouAreInCommandNow: The group eventually decides if something happens to Marinette and/or Adrien, Chloe gets the Ladybug Earrings and Kagami gets the Cat Ring. [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext This whole conversation started because Chloe had a dream about Marinette being pregnant]].

* TourismDerailingEvent: Avoiding one of these is the reason that Mayor Bourgeois keeps all information about Hawk Moth and the Akumas from reaching the outside world. This turns out to do more harm than good, as not only does it keep other heroes from offering aid, but once Prince Ali was attacked by Princess Fragrance, things are blown wide open without any chance to smoothly reveal things or do it in a controlled manner.

* ObliviouslyInLove: Chat Noir is as blockheaded as always when it comes to romantic feelings, insisting that "Balcony Girl" (Marinette) is "just a friend" while everyone else points out that all that affection and the nighttime balcony meetings are ''not'' things people do with normal friends.

* ObliviousToLove: Chat Noir is as blockheaded as always when it comes to romantic feelings, insisting that "Balcony Girl" (Marinette) is "just a friend" while everyone else points out that all that affection and the nighttime balcony meetings are ''not'' things people do with normal friends.

** Lila attempts to convince Marinette is cheating by showing Adrien a picture of her on a date with Luka...completely missing that both Adrien and Kagami are at the table with them.

* FailedASpotCheck: When Juleka tells the other on the chat how Lila's most recent lie had just hurt Rose and that she is sharing her phone with her, the others catch Zoé up to speed about Lila, including her lie about being Ladybug's BFF and having the Fox pendant and how Marinette (Ladybug) and Alya (the true Fox Miraculous holder) get annoyed hearing that. They said this ''after'' Juleka warns them of Rose joining in while completely forgetting that Rose was out of the loop at that point, meaning she finds out that they are heroes. Of course, they end up adding Rose to their group since Marinette was planning to give her a Miraculous in the near future anyway.

* MyInstinctsAreShowing: The fic goes with the common Miraculous Ladybug fanon that using a Miraculous makes you manifest behaviors common to your associated animal. Incidents include Ladybug having [[NoodleIncident unspecified trouble with ahpids]] (real life ladybugs' primary food source), Chloé being attracted to flowers, furry animals manifesting a 'winter coat' (thicker hair and fur costume accents), animals that hibernate being sleepier during the wintertime, and several characters have reported developing fangs, even if the animal their Miraculous is based on doesn't have them.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Expanded on, as Marinette informs the new Miraculous wielders what their Kwamis like to eat. Aside from Tikki's canon taste for cookies and Plagg's love affair with Camembert, Pollen likes honey, Trixx likes berries (and Alya's mother's cooking), Wayzz likes tea, Sass likes boiled eggs, Kaalki likes sugar cubes, and Longg likes spicy food. Everyone agrees that these are all perfectly logical favorites that are not particularly difficult for the heroes to obtain...except for Plagg's stupid cheese.
