Re emojis: Is it? Squee! :) Do most emojis have coloration? I honestly don't know, beyond the ones that screenreaders plainly state as being colorful (the hearts, any with skin tone choices.

Re plot devices: I hadn't entirely gone there, in the sense that I haven't written the thing out yet and am still plotting just how it should go. I credit silveradept with the idea of an argument between wielders over the proper uses of miraculous. Connected to that, Gabriel's capacity for controlling cruelty is definitely going to play a role. The way I'm thinking, the domineering aspect+the man's quick, cold temper combine to horrible effect. I won't go into details beyond that, the better to avoid spoilerific spoilers for this AU, and possibly triggers as well. I can DM, if... I don't know if that's of interest?
