A/N: Finally! This is the one I've wanted to post since Chapter 3, though of course it's changed a bit since then.

Chapter 6 - Fan Art

Four friends were out enjoying the beautiful Parisian summer day. They were excited because their friends Nathaniel Kurtzberg and Marc Anciel had finally been able to publish their first serialized Ladybug and Chat Noir comic book, and the four teens were on a hunt. Unfortunately, they were having no luck.

"Didn't Nathaniel say that he posted some of the comic book art on a Website," asked Adrien.

"Oh, yeah! What was it called again?" Marinette had no idea what the site was called.

"Art something-or-other," said Nino "Art Deviations, I think."

"That's it! Hang on." Alya dug out her phone. "I look up fan art for the Ladyblog all the time, and that's one of my go-to sites." She gave up after a few minutes. "Ugh, this screen is too small for all of us! Plus we've been looking for the comic book for hours. I say we go back to Marinette's, grab some snacks, and look up the art on Art Deviations."

"Oh, I see how it is," teased Marinette. "You guys only like me for my snacks."

"Yup," deadpanned Nino.

"That's it, guys. You're getting yesterday's leftovers."

"You wouldn't do that to us, would you," asked Alya.

"Or nothing at all." Adrien gasped audibly, purposely being overdramatic. Marinette may have sounded serious, but she had a definite twinkle in her eye.

The four friends laughed as they made their way toward T&S Boulangerie Patisserie. Once they arrived, they headed straight up to Marinette's room while she gathered a plate of snacks. She set them down on her desk while the others gathered around her computer screen (she was just glad she'd finally mellowed down her Adrien shrine – at least the obvious one).

"Got it!" Alya was triumphant as she pulled up the Website. "Anyone know his user name?"

"Uhhh… no idea."

"Sorry, babe."

"Let's just search for it," suggested Marinette, and they did just that. The four teens scoured the site, looking for Nathaniel's art. They didn't have much luck – but they did find a lot of other art based on Ladybug and Chat Noir.

"Wow, some of this is really good," Marinette gushed. "Look at this one!"

"I like the faces in this action pose here," said Nino, pointing out one where Ladybug and Chat were fighting what looked like Gigantitan.

"That's an interesting take. Like if the Miraculous Cure didn't work all the way," Marinette saw one that showed Ladybug holding a first aid kit, tending to wounds on Chat Noir's arm.

"That's not even the best stuff on this site. Look here." Alya clicked a link and went into the LadyNoir section of the site. She pointed out one that was obviously based on the kiss after Oblivio. "Just look at the love in their eyes! If only the real 'ship' would sail."

"Wait, what's that one?" Adrien pointed at one of the thumbnails. It looked like the two superheroes were lying down. As Alya clicked on the image, Marinette tried to get closer to see.

"Is that…" she paused, going slightly red.

"Um, yeah." Adrien nearly choked as he realized he was looking at his own bare rear end … sort of. "They're not wearing much, are they. I mean, all I can see is masks and sheets." Marinette squeaked a little.

"The artist certainly has… um, imagination," said Nino.

"Can we click a different image, please?" If possible, Marinette's blush was redder than her superhero suit. "Alya, please tell me you don't post stuff that… risque on the Ladyblog."

"The Ladyblog is a public forum for all ages, so I keep the actual images as PG as possible. I'll link to this site, but point to the more … sedate images." She clicked a different image. "Oh look, this one is a comic strip."

The group read the comic. The quality wasn't as good as Nathaniel and Marc's, but it had a decent story. They clicked on another image.

"Hey, this looks like his stuff," Marinette was relieved to finally see what they had been looking for. "What's the user name?"

Adrien looked closer at the screen. "SuperNathaniel."

"We should have guessed. Isn't that what he named himself before he was Akumatized into Evillustrator?"

"You know, Marinette, I think you're right," said Alya.

The teens spent the rest of the afternoon reading Nathaniel and Marc's comic they had posted on the site.

A/N: The idea for this came from thinking about Adrien and Marinette (alone together) looking at fan art and blushing at some of the more ... mature ... fan art that is out there.
