This story is a train wreck and I have known how I am going to finish it for almost 6 months, but I legit have zero motivation for this story so I'm just going to tell you how I was planning on finishing it and call it good. Also I'm going to address some plot holes that were in this story.
So basically this is what was going to happen:
-They were going to go to this carnival and Hawkmoth was going to attack
-It was going to be a especially bad akuma and Lupa was going to have to intervene
-Adrien and Marinette were going to get captured and forced to un-transform but Hawkmoth does have a little bit of compassion for his son so he doesn't reveal them to the public
-Hawkmoth told Lupa that if she gave him her Miraculous then he wouldn't completely destroy Paris
-She does, but then with the help of Master Fu and some of the other heros she saves Paris without a Miraculous
-Epilogue Idea: She goes back to school and people are seeing her in a new light and she starts a akuma prevention group and starts to be a hero without a cape. Also Marinette and Adrien get together and they all live happily ever after
Some plot holes and how they could be fixed:
-The biggest one was in an earlier chapter I said the Adrien went on a date with Ladybug and ofc that would never actually happen so I could have fixed it by saying that he only told Max that he did because he could tell that she was really distracted worried and wanted to make her laugh or focus on something else
-I was going to make a ship with Max (the main character) and Max (the boy that's actually a character in the show) but I have no clue how to write that character and it was feeling rushed and just not natural. I have no clue how I would have fixed it but if I rewrote this (I probably will not) then I would just not make that a thing and just have them be friends
-I completely glossed over the fact that Max has depression and has tried to (TRIGGER WARNING) k;ll herself and if I went back and edited I would spend more time with that and build that side of her character a bit more.
-The whole reasoning and backstory behind why Max was in Paris is bad and I could write it better and come up with something better but oh well
If you have any other plot holes that you want filled just put them here ---> and I will answer them.
If any one wants to finish this story or re-write it, just let me know I would be completely down for it, just please give me credits and ask for my permission directly.
So that's that, I'm sorry for letting you guys down but the fact that this story has been going on for almost two years and I still haven't finished it is sad. I could if I REALLY WANTED to but I've lost my drive for this and I just feel bad for all the people who are actually invested in this story.
Again, sorry, but this is the best you're going to get.
Stay Safe,
L.A.
