On Good Author-ity is a collab (about a collab!) that features loads of flirty late-night DMs, two unwitting partnerships and three separate reveals. Join Adrien & Marinette as miscommunication abounds and (identity) shenanigans ensue- and they get to know one another far more intimately than they ever expected.

Read a snippet from Chapter One: As A Matter Of Fiction below!
“Alya chose my fanfic as one of her top picks!” He beamed proudly, gesturing toward the screen.
“Fan-fic?” Plagg stared blankly at the page. “What’s that?”
“Y’know, like fanfiction,” Adrien shrugged distractedly as he skimmed the comments pouring in. “Sorta like writing a book, except it’s stories written by fans and published online. Usually having to do with their favorite characters or shows. Or in this case—” he gestured at himself with both thumbs— “their favorite superheroes!”
“That sounds… terrible.Booooo-riiing!” Plagg snickered. “Who would want to waste their time doing that?”
Full Summary: When the Ladyblog debuts a new fanfiction feature, Marinette wants nothing to do with it… until an unlikely recommendation piques her curiosity. She discovers—much to her dismay—that fans are writing salacious, and frankly, quite shocking things about Ladybug and Chat Noir! Scandalized, she’s ready to write fanfiction off for good, until she receives a link that’s too tempting to resist—leading her to #1LadyFan, a surprisingly good author that writes convincing romance, and seems to have an alarming amount of insight on the duo’s dynamic that isn’t public knowledge.
Meanwhile, Adrien is thrilled to learn that his Ladynoir fanfiction is gaining popularity, and over the moon when a reader reaches out. After weeks of increasingly flirty late-night conversations with his mysterious new online friend, he invites her to join him in a collaborative effort to write an erotic story featuring Paris’ favorite superheroes.
