SPOILERS! DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU HAVE FINISHED THE PREVIOUS PARTS OF THE BOOK!!! (Also contains some minor spoilers of actual Miraculous Ladybug Episodes)

This is is not part of the story, but I just wanted to share with you guys the 'process' of this story. As you might (or might not) have read in the description, this story was inspired by a dream I had.  I will tell you guys some of the process and ideas I went through to make this story.

Behind the scenes of the story making:

So first I needed a setting. So I decided that there would be an aquarium in Paris. I then needed a villain. The people in Paris aren't really evil and I wanted to make it as close to the show as possible so I decided to blame it on an akuma. I needed a reason to get them akumatized though. At first, I wanted to have one of his co-workers/ best friends bitten by the shark so he would get extremely mad. But I didn't really like that idea. I decided to kind of go off my first idea and make him an employee (because in the first idea he or his friend had to have been an employee to be able to get into the tank)and get him fired. Also, if you didn't notice before, in Chapter 1, I kind of referenced my first idea by mentioning the wounded co-worker who went to the hospital. 

Now for his powers. At first I considered him to order 'followers' to give the shark metal armor/'an upgrade'. But I decided that the time for making the pieces would not add up with the story and it wouldn't make complete sense. I decided to make the employee close to the shark and his tank to somehow incorporate them with hawkmoth's powers. As you might have noticed I included some references and some similar details to various episodes from the show, but he main one I used was Syren's episode. Fun Fact: I researched how a syren would be called in a male version and it said Triton, so there is were I got the name from.

Next I would, obviously, have to incorporate Marinette and Adrien to the story to make them aware of the akuma. I made a reference (most of my references are very very settle) to the Animator episode by saying that Ladybug and Cat Noir had declined their invitations to the grand opening. I then decided that I would just let them go with their friends since a lot of other people were going. Plus even if this was an exclusive grand opening, they were with Adrien so he could've invited them with him to have some company.

I then, made up an excuse for both of them to transform and voila, they were on the scene. Normally I don't really like it when miraculous fan-fictions say "after the battle" and not include the fighting, so I decided I would include the battle even if it was a really bad one. I know, I know, the bandana as a lucky charm isn't really that creative but I had nothing else in mind. 

From the lucky charm I had two ways the story could go, one was the way it actually went and the other was: right after Ladybug said 'lucky charm' and was confused with it, the shark would come from behind and bite her. Cat  Noir would be furious, he would break the object and cataclysm the akuma like he did in Oblivio. But I realized that I couldn't do that idea because Ladybug had not done her 'miraculous ladybug' so Paris would remain flooded and damaged if she de-transformed. I also didn't know if Cat Noir activated his cataclysm underwater it would travel around the water and destroy everything (This was at the time I wrote it. Now, after some research I know that this theory was proved otherwise in an episode. I think it was an episode ending or near the end of a season. I also know that it had queen bee/Chloe akumatized. But, I don't know exactly which one it is.)

Then I added another scene with Cat Noir holding her in her arms and de-transforming. I needed her to de-transform in front of him, so he would be absolutely sure it was her. I gave them a happy ending. I didn't want to include anything of what would happen after the kiss because the events would just lead from one to the next and then I wouldn't know how or when to stop the story. It would probably have gone from them maybe revealing their relationship to their friends, to other events like the ones leading to the defeat of hawkmoth.
