Author's Notes:

Many conversations might seem light on dialogue. I tried to keep the word count minimal by trying to keep the dialogue pertinent to the plot. Please feel free to imagine whatever other conversations might actually be taking place. Each chapter is about 1,500 words (plus or minus).

I do not own any of the characters, but I did try to stay true to the way the characters have been developed in canon.

The story tries to use only canon through Season 3's WereDad Episode. Any developments in canon contrary to this story released after December 31st, 2018 would not have been incorporated into this story.


Adrien was once again the target of an akumatized victim when a fangirl of his was unable to get his autograph because of the sea of other fangirls pushing their way towards him. Heartbroken because she didn't live in Paris and wouldn't get the chance again for over a year, Hawkmoth akumatized her into Fan Queen with the ability to subjugate any Adrien fangirl and have her assist in tracking down Adrien. After zapping several fangirls with her pen, the search was on.

Marinette was sitting at the park sketching when she saw the first fangirl running around looking for Adrien. It wasn't until the second, and then third, fangirl showed up looking for Adrien that she realized something was amiss. She dove over the bench to hide and observe.

"Tikki, I don't like the looks of this. Those girls look like their under some kind of spell."

Tikki floated up to look at her and replied. "My neither. You need to be especially careful if this involves an akuma as you could be effected also."

"How so Tikki?"

"They're all looking for Adrien. They must be fans of his helping the latest victim. Since you're a fan of Adrien's, that puts you at a greater risk than normal for being controlled by the akuma."

"Don't worry Tikki, I'll be careful, but we have to see if it's even related to an akuma. Tikki, Spots On!"

Ladybug grabbed the nearest fangirl to interrogate. "Why are you looking for Adrien? Is this some type of treasure hunt?"

"I must find Adrien for Fan Queen. She needs him." With that, Ladybug was off to find the akuma.

Adrien had been watching the news when the report of a new akuma came across the screen. He had already transformed into Cat Noir and was looking for the akuma when Ladybug crossed his path.

"Quick Cat! We need to head the other way. The akuma is looking for Adrien Agreste. We need to get to him before the akuma does!"

Cat almost told her to go on without him, but then thought about Volpina and remembered how Ladybug gets whenever Adrien is in danger. So, he turned around to follow her back to his room.

Ladybug saw Adrien's bedroom window was open and flew in. "Adrien!" she called out with no reply.

Cat considered going in through the bathroom, but decided to land next to Ladybug instead. "Is he here, Bugaboo?"

"No! And stop calling me Bugaboo." Ladybug hissed.

Ladybug ran out Adrien's bedroom door and into the mansion. Nathalie jumped a little at the sight of her, but regained her composure quickly.

"Is there anything I can help you with, Ladybug?"

"Where's Adrien? He's in danger!"

"He was supposed to be practicing piano in his room."

Cat Noir came up beside Ladybug and saw Nathalie. "Does Adrien have a safe place he goes during akuma attacks, ma'am?"

"His room is the safest place during an akuma attack most of the time, so he usually stays in there"

"Don't worry, we'll find him." Cat Noir grabbed Ladybug's hand and pulled her out the front entrance so they could talk alone. "No need to worry Adrien's family with the details."

"Family? Oh, Nathalie's is his father's assistant."

"Anyway, what do you know about the akuma so far?"

"So far? Just that Fan Queen can control Adrien's fans to help her track down Adrien. I don't know what for."

"Then he might not be in as much danger as we initially thought. It might be that Fan Queen is in love with Adrien and doesn't want to hurt him."

Ladybug blushed. "He does have a lot of fans. They can be very possessive of him sometimes. But that doesn't give Fan Queen the right to kidnap him. He could be scared right now. We have to find him."

As they ran out of the front gate, they encountered more fangirls looking for Adrien. Cat turned to Ladybug. "If they're still looking for him, maybe he decided his room wasn't the safest place today and decided to hide elsewhere."

"Only one way to know for sure. We have to find Fan Queen!"

After hopping over a few rooftops, they spotted her on the Eiffel Tower. She was still looking around at her minions combing the city. Cat Noir said, "See LB. Adrien just found a safer place to hide. Fan Queen hasn't gotten him yet."

"That's comforting. Now, let's defeat Fan Queen before that changes."

They landing the Eiffel Tower behind Fan Queen. With a zip of her yoyo, Ladybug had tied up Fan Queen. Fan Queen tried to zap Ladybug with her pen that was still in her hand. Cat Noir jumped in between them yelling "Watch out Ladybug!" Cat Noir was hit instead.

Looking at each other, Cat Noir blinked a couple of times and said "I don't feel any different."

"Perhaps you're not a fan of his, Chaton?"

"Impawsible, My Lady. It must just work on female fans."

Ladybug rolled her eyes, but was immediately surrounded by a soft glow as she was hit by Fan Queen. The yoyo let go of Fan Queen. Ladybug's expression fell into a daze. Cat yelled "No!"

Hawkmoth's butterfly shown in front of Fan Queen. "Excellent work Fan Queen. Now, use Ladybug to get Cat Noir's miraculous. His ring!"

"Ladybug! Cat Noir knows where Adrien is hiding. You have to get his ring in order to find Adrien!"

Ladybug lunged for Cat Noir's ring. With a quick turn of his body and using his staff to trip her, Cat Noir sent Ladybug flying down the side of the Eiffel Tower. Cat quickly turned to Fan Queen and pounced as he knew it wouldn't be long until Ladybug was back.

Grabbing the pen, he broke it just as Ladybug was landing on the platform. Fan Queen screamed, "No!" and then fell to her knees. Ladybug's eyes were still glazed over but was no longer trying to fight Cat Noir. Cat Noir pointed to the akuma flying away. "You have to catch it to find Adrien."

With another zip of her yoyo, a dazed Ladybug caught the akuma and it was purified. Fan Queen was shrouded in a purple and black cloud changing back into her civilian form. Ladybug shook her head and asked "What happened?"

Cat Noir grinned and stated, "Nothing much, you were just controlled by the akuma."

Ladybug looked down and away from Cat Noir. "I didn't hurt you, did I?"

"No." Cat Noir walked over to Ladybug and cupped her chin to move her gaze to him. "You didn't hurt me. But, I did have to work really fast to avoid fighting you."

Ladybug smiled. "I'm glad you were able to stop the akuma, but how did it get purified?"

"Oh," Cat replied. "I told you it knew where Adrien was."

Ladybug blushed. "So, I guess I am a fan of Adrien's."

Cat Noir smiled. "Lots of people are. Even me. It's okay."

Cat Noir paused and got lost staring into Ladybugs eyes. Finally he asked, "Since we're both fans, do you want to get together sometime to compare notes?"

"We can't Cat. We might accidentally give up some information that'd reveal our secret identities. We don't get the luxury of talking about common interests at length, even if it is about Adrien."

Ladybug snapped to her senses. "Adrien! We still don't know where he is."

"I think he'll show up at home once he realizes the akuma has been taken care of."

Just then, and exhausted Ladyblogger showed up. Panting heavily, she asked, "Can I get an interview?" She smirked as best she could while gasping for air.

Cat Noir said, "I'll let Ladybug handle this one. I need to get going." He jumped off the side of the Eiffel Tower and spun his staff to land safely. Alya and Ladybug watched as he jumped over a few roofs and out of sight.

"So, and interview?"

Ladybug smiled. She had time as she didn't need to use her Lucky Charm and there hadn't been any damage to repair. "Sure."


Cat Noir detransformed in a subway tunnel near his mansion. Adrien opened the front door to find Gabriel standing at the top of the stairs with Nathalie waiting at the bottom. Gabriel looked upset.

Adrien spoke before his father had a chance. "I know you don't want me leaving my room unannounced. But, when I saw the news about the akuma looking for me, I was scared. I remembered how our security had been breached previously during an akuma attack and did not feel safe in my room. I also didn't want to put anyone else at risk. I'm sorry father."

"If you were scared son, you should have come to me or Nathalie. There are a great many rooms in this mansion which are not accessible by normal means. It's important that no one outside of the family knows about them, which is why I did not use them during that attack. We haven't told you about them before because we didn't feel you were ready and because they contain very sensitive information. However, if you are scared, we'd have made an exception."

"Thank you father. I understand."
