From the moment of Benjamin Dumont de Montigny's arrival, Marie is captivated by him in a way that is more unsettling than exciting, and yet a strange mixture of both. Tyrannical commanders, native uprisings and unimaginable loss will either bring them together or separate them - forever.

Paris, an incredible City in Europe that's recently been under attack of akumatized supervillains. Luckily two mysterious superheroes called Ladybug and Cat Noir always save the day and put a stop to them. All this has gotten the attention of a young genius called Y/N L/N, who lived in America before he moved to Paris alone. He of course has hidden all his life that he is a prodigy in all aspects of electronics, math, science and the like. Only his parents know, but they don't really care that much. They mostly just accept anything going on with their son, because he made the impossible possible since his first real invention, and they learned not to question it. Our main character is now ready for his new start at the "College" Françoise Dupont, and can't wait to start a journey of heroism as well. Just what heights can a person reach, just with his brain power? ("Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir" is made by Thomas ASTRUC and is owned, as well as published by Disney. Y/N is the only real character written by me. Cover by Rina Rina on Pinterest https://www.pinterest.de/pin/aa-madison-stuff--4574037115417394/ )
