A tale as old as time, in a far away land lived a beastly man in a lonely castle. Cursed to be a cat-like beast forever if the last paw on his miraculous disappears. Unless he can learn to truly love someone and for that someone to love him back. In a little town lived a family of bakers with a beautiful daughter who dreams of adventure in the great, wide somewhere. Miraculous ladybug au. I do not own any characters of Beauty and the Beast or Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Chat Noir (because if I did ladynoir would be canon)

Marinette's life is hard. Sweeping around in her old cottage all day, scrounging around to find a few pennies to buy a piece of bread for dinner. The only thing that enlightens it is her lover, Nathaniel. Everything changes when she gets chosen for the Selection. The Selection is a group of 10 girls who compete for the heart of the royal heir, Prince Adrien. Being a part of the Selection would mean betraying her love for Nathaniel. But people change, and soon her heart will lead her to a different pathway. One that will hold a light for all hearts. -�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�- I do not own any of these characters, and the story's plot comes from Kierra Cass's wonderful series, "The Selection."
