Hello fellow readers and writers, I'm thinking of writing a hunchback of Norte Dame AU written by Tumblr's electragoob who gave me permission to write this so don't sue me. Anyway if it turns out Hawkmoth and Gabriel are the same person then they aren't in this also the main character gets the girl in this.
A baby is cursed to look like a cat-like creature, his mother and father are fleeing Paris but they are caught by Judge Hawkmoth. The man is arrested but his wife tries to escape with their baby by running to the church and praying for sanctuary. Hawkmoth kills her and atemps to drown her cursed child. But he is stopped by Master Fu the archdeacon and he guilts him into raising the baby.
Though repulsed by it, he reluctantly agrees to save his soul. He named the child Adrien which means dark one and conceals him inside the church. Twenty years pass, Adrien grows into strong but kind young man who rings the bells of Paris. He is very lonely and longs to be apart of civilization but he told by Hawkmoth that the world is cruel and everyone will despise him because he's a monster.
When the feastival of fools comes, his only friends three stone gargoyle kwamis: Wayzz, Plagg, and Duusu. Convince him to sneak out in disguise. Somewhere in town a soldier named Nino returns from the war to be promoted as captain of law. The feastival begins led by Nathaniel leader of the gypsies and introduces one of the dancers Marinette a beautiful and kind hearted gypsy and her kwami goat Tikki. She wows the audience with her dance, causes Nino to fall for her, and Hawkmoth to both disgust and lust for her.
A contest is held to crown the king of fools, Marinette thinking Adrien is wearing a costume pulls him on stage but the audience finds out he really looks like that but Nathaniel declares him the winner. Just when he's finally enjoying himself Hawkmoth's men tie him down and pelt him with rocks and food. Nino requests that this cruel display be stopped but the wicked judge holds it believing Adrien needs to learn a lesson but Marinette refuses to let an innocent boy be tortured. So she frees him and wins his heart with her kindness but she becomes a wanted fugitive.
