An AU where Ladybug and Chat Noir cannot say their civilian names
-when they try, bubbles come out of their mouths like when the Kwami’s try to say the names
-they then have to describe what they look like to the other hero
-like in Evillustrator, Ladybug couldn’t tell Chat Noir the name of the girl he was supposed to protect, she could only say “the bakery girl”
-they still never figure out each other’s identities, just thinking they’re bad with names
-Alya accidentally gets a live stream of them talking, when bubbles come out of Chat Noir’s mouth
-no one in Paris knows about the name thing, so rumors go around that Chat Noir drinks bubble soap
-several reporters have asked him about it, and tried to tell him the dangers of drinking soap
-Chat gets annoyed at it all and tries to explain that he doesn’t drink soap, but nobody believes him
-Ladybug confronts Chat about his “soap addiction”, then realises he was just trying to say his civilian name
-Ladybug tries to clear Chat’s name from the news
-it doesn’t work, she has no proof, and nobody believes her
-She goes to talk to Alya in private to ask her to stop recording her and Chat’s conversations because of what happened
-Alya agrees, but does it again anyways, this time catching Ladybug making bubbles
-The entirety of Paris now believes their favorite superheroes both drink soap
