Gorizilla Grabs
is an Alternate Universe Fic made by RockSunner, for Miraculous Ladybug. Part of the Smart Adversaries AU for Miraculous Ladybug on AO3, in which Ladybug villains make smarter decisions. The series has a tropes page here.
This is a 2-chapter work and it is now completed.
This fanfiction series contains examples of:
- Alternate Universe Fic: A What If? with the change that Hawk Moth gives Gorizilla better instructions when he has Adrien and Labybug captured. He realizes Gorizilla's scenting power could be used to check if Adrien was Chat Noir. He tells Gorizilla to let Adrien go early, and the fall from the building doesn't happen.
- Back from the Dead: Adrien's bodyguard is revived by the healing charm after being killed by Chat Noir. (He is in a shocked state afterwards.)
- Bad Boss: Gabriel Agreste deliberately exposes his employee to danger by getting him to hurt Marinette in front of Chat Noir.
- Calling the Old Man Out: Adrien is especially bitter in rejecting his father because Hawk Moth got him to kill Gorizilla.
- Heel–Face Turn: Nathalie and (to a lesser extent) the bodyguard turn on Hawk Moth and refuse to carry out his orders to lock up Adrien.
- Heroic BSoD: Chat Noir is horrified after using Cataclysm on Gorizilla and killing him, after Gorizilla brutally crushed Marinette. He resigns from being a superhero, intending to give his Miraculous back.
- Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: Played with. Nathalie turns against Hawk Moth because he deliberately got the bodyguard killed, making her fear him more than prison.
- The Unmasking: Ladybug and Chat Noir's identities are exposed to each other and to Hawk Moth. Hawk Moth is also exposed and captured when his accomplices turn on him.
