First thing's first, this story HAS NOT been abandoned. I have recently started a new job and the training hours have been awful, which affect my ability and time to write. Chapter three has been started and I made more edits to both chapters 1 and 2. A major edit for plot and minor edits for the sake of dialogue.

Another point I feel like I need to make before I post any more chapters for this story is that this story had been started BEFORE the [official] release of Troublemaker and every episode that followed after. Of course I'd been watching the episodes as they were leaked on YouTube (and translated if they weren't in English), so I can say that I consider some of them still canon in my story's universe albeit possibly different ways since I saw them before I continued writing. But seeing as I had already had a decently clear path on where I wanted to take this story, where I wanted it to go, the releases of those episodes still had a huge effect on what was canon to the true Miraculous Ladybug universe and my omegaverse universe. ESPECIALLY, Style Queen/Queen Wasp and the Heroes' Day episodes. With the addition of Nino and Chloe "receiving" their miraculouses, I realized I had to think about what I had to/what I wanted to change about my story if I wanted to make those episodes canon to my omegaverse. And THAT set of a chain of thoughts of what episodes would be canon period to my story as a whole, which put my writing on hold as I tried to figure things out. I'd already anticipated including Alya/Rena Rouge [once I figured out how] since Sapotis came out before the development of my story, but the releases of the episodes following Troublemaker brought on challenging changes and considerations for the continuation of this story.

Despite the trouble they put me through, I'd decided to go ahead and consider Style Queen/Queen Wasp and Heroes' Day canon to my story and include Carapace and Queen Bee in my story. As of right now, the only episode I don't consider canon to my story is Oblivio, since it would have a massive affect on how I write Ladybug and Chat Noir's interactions and the universe as a whole. The recent episodes (Onichan and Bakerix) are still under consideration, as well as the character Kagami. As much as I would love to write out Lila/make her non-canon to my story simply because I hate her so much, that would change too much that I want to keep canon from the original universe. But that's even if I decide to write her in at some point anyway. As of right now, I have no intentions of including her (though I might make references to her/the events that involved her). I don't care for Kagami much either, I'd completely forgotten about her existence when writing/planning for the story. But we'll see as the story goes on.

All of that being said, I'm going to write as much as I can while I'm off of work for the next three days and see where I get as far as posting it.

Thanks for understanding and sticking around. *heart*
