What would you think if Chloe and Audrey heard rumours about the way they were going to be portrayed in Astruc’s new movie, so they went back to Paris in an unsuccessful attempt to stop the movie from being completed? Then an evilized villain (maybe a wishmaker-like villain or maybe even a villain that's unrelated to the butterfly miraculous) caused Chloe and Zoe to switch bodies somehow, and nobody fully understands what's going on, so Zoe (in Chloe's body) is taken by Audrey back to New York, despite Zoe desperately trying to explain things. But Chloe enters a fugue state (heavily due to trauma caused by the neglect of her parents) and genuinely thinks she's Zoe, and is even able to recall many of the things Zoe did due to being in Zoe's body. The class thinks “Zoe's” change in behavior is due to the psychological effects of method acting, since “Zoe” is playing Chloe in Astruc's new movie, but they gradually convince “Zoe” to let them help her relearn how to be “herself” again.

Zoe is not able to gain access to Chloe's memories while in Chloe's body, because unlike Chloe, Zoe knows she's in the wrong body. In New York, Zoe is trying to get back to Paris, but when she gets there, “Zoe” thinks she’s there to try to hurt Marinette. Eventually, after listening to “Chloe”, Marinette starts to suspect that “Chloe” might be telling the truth, so she decides that she must test “Chloe” and “Zoe”. She fakes being in danger to see how they react. “Zoe” reacts slightly faster than “Chloe”, so Marinette comes to the conclusion that “Chloe” is lying and that “Chloe” has an evil and manipulative plan. Marinette thinks that “Chloe” must have picked up a few tricks from Lila, because she thinks no version of Chloe could possibly react faster than Zoe when it comes to protecting her. So Audrey takes “Zoe” back to New York again to “correct” her after “Zoe” fails to convince anyone of the truth.

10 years later, “Zoe” gets seriously injured after fighting a villain when Ladybug isn’t around, which causes “Zoe” to not have long to live. Then Ladybug accidentally stumbles upon the truth about “Zoe” while trying to help “Zoe” using magical powers. Ladybug decides that the moral thing to do is to switch Chloe and Zoe back to their original bodies. Once Zoe gets her body back, she blames Chloe for her impending death and for leaving her with 10 years of loneliness, while Chloe got off scot-free. When Lila gets defeated, Zoe steals the Butterfly Miraculous to get her hands on Ladybug and Catnoir’s miraculouses, hoping to “make things right”. Zoe gets defeated by the heroes (including Chloe, who has gotten her memories back) and Ladybug manages to cure Zoe’s injuries.

I think that is a really interesting fanfic premise. It could start out silly and sweet like freaky Friday but overtime get a bit more grim and angsty. If I were adding my own spice I'd make it so that Chloe "with Zoe's mind" tries and gets help from Adrien who realizes something is wrong but pitches the idea to everyone that she is just "reformed" because that's easier to digest. Then you could play with Zoe "with Chloe's mind" returning to Paris, only to see most everyone accepting the new Chloe which makes new Zoe terribly mad, maybe enough to give up the act.

Personally I'm a sappy sucker who doesn't like writing sad endings so I'd try and find a way for them to both make peace with their crazy situation and once they do they'd trade bodies then (magic is weird).

Thanks for the ask though! This is the first one I've ever gotten so I wanted to respond as best I could. Feel free to ask again!

ML Season 5 Derision Spoiler!

S1 The first thing Adrien did for Marinette was undoing an instance of Chloe bullying her. Adrien then tells her to start being nicer which hinders the more egregious bullying compared to last year's.

No wonder she fell for him, he helped save her from the nightmare she was living in and I love that for them.

Was browsing the official Zag store for Ladybug merch and burst out laughing. Just imagine, waking up Christmas morning, unwrapping a present and your favorite dude just stares back at you. I love it so much
