The fact that they are both involved in the creative arts makes them unique. Fanfiction writers can use this aspect to create stories that involve art, writing, and the magic of the Miraculous Ladybug world all at once. For example, they could use their creative powers to create new Miraculous items or to defeat an akumatized villain in a very different way than Ladybug and Chat Noir.
Well, I really like 'Nathaniel in the Spotlight'. In this fanfiction, Nathaniel gets a chance to shine in a school play and it shows his different sides. It's not just about his love for Marinette like in some stories, but more about his own self - discovery. Then there's 'The Colors of Nathaniel' which beautifully portrays his emotions through his art. It's like you can feel what he's feeling as he creates different pieces. And 'Nathaniel's Miraculous Encounter' where he has an unexpected encounter with a Miraculous that changes his view of the world.
In Miraculous Ladybug fanfiction, Nathaniel and Marc often have a really interesting relationship. They can be seen as friends who support each other creatively. Marc is usually very encouraging of Nathaniel's art, and Nathaniel in turn values Marc's input on his work. Their dynamic adds a new layer to the story, bringing out different aspects of their personalities.
It gives fans more content about these two beloved characters. Since the show might not fully explore every aspect of their relationship, fanfiction fills that gap.
One popular type of fanfiction might be where Lila tries to manipulate Nathaniel for her own gains, but Nathaniel sees through her eventually. For example, in some fanfictions, Lila might try to use Nathaniel's artistic skills to create false evidence against Ladybug, but Nathaniel realizes that Ladybug is a hero and refuses to be part of Lila's schemes.
There could be a fanfiction where Marc and Nathaniel get involved in a mystery within the Miraculous Ladybug universe. Maybe they discover a hidden power related to their creative abilities and have to figure out how to use it to help Ladybug and Chat Noir. This would involve lots of character development and exploration of their relationship as they face challenges together.
The kwamis would be really interesting characters to include. Plagg and Tikki could offer their unique insights and humor. Trixx could also be there to play some pranks or help Alix with her Miraculous - related problems. Their presence would add a touch of magic and fun to the fanfiction.
One common theme is friendship. The fanfictions often focus on how Nathaniel and Marc become friends and how their friendship grows over time. Another theme could be creativity. Since Nathaniel is an artist and Marc is into writing, their combined creativity is a big part of the stories.
One great one is 'The Artistic Bond'. It delves deep into how Marc and Nathaniel's relationship grows through their shared love for art and writing in the Miraculous Ladybug universe. It has some really heartwarming moments as they support each other's creative endeavors.
There's a fanfiction where Lila convinces Nathaniel that she has a special connection to the Miraculous. Nathaniel, being intrigued by the idea of the Miraculous, starts to follow Lila's lead. But as he delves deeper, he discovers that Lila is just using him to get closer to Ladybug and Chat Noir. This realization makes him turn against Lila and he teams up with the real heroes to expose her lies.
