Curiosity Kills the Cat

This is an ongoing project. I actually wrote Chapter One between 2 and 4 a.m. on Thanksgiving morning, driven by a mix of depression and longing. But the seeds for this story were planted long before that night. I plan to update when I can—maybe not consistently, but with short breaks between chapters. The pace will likely pick up in summer, as completing full stories is difficult, and I’m a high school sophomore, so... set expectations accordingly.This story takes place after Chloe’s departure to New York. During a layover in London, she has a fateful encounter with Luka Couffaine in the airport lounge. Luka, too, is returning to Paris after Ladybug deems it safe for him to come back following Jagged Stone’s world tour.Chloe wants to leave the past behind. She yearns for a new beginning—new school, new life, new friends. Luka is intrigued by her, sensing a fragmented melody he can’t decipher. His curiosity grows, and he becomes determined to understand her.As time passes, both Chloe and Luka mature—together, as individuals, and within their own circles. Their relationship evolves, and they begin to bloom into adulthood.
