In this fanfiction, the key elements could include the exploration of the Miraculous powers in a different context. Since it's set at night, the powers might have different effects or limitations. Also, the villains or antagonists in the story could be more menacing at night. They might have new abilities or strategies that make it harder for Ladybug and Chat Noir to defeat them. And of course, the relationship between the two main characters is always a crucial element in any Miraculous Ladybug fanfic.
In a Miraculous Ladybug competition fanfiction, the rules of the competition are a key element. They can be simple or complex, and they can be manipulated by villains. The characters' costumes or outfits related to the competition also matter. If it's a superhero - themed competition, their costumes could be new versions of their Miraculous suits. The role of the Miraculous guardians in the competition is another aspect. Maybe they have some special instructions for Ladybug and Chat Noir regarding the event. Also, the emotions of the characters like excitement, nervousness, and determination during the competition need to be well - described to engage the readers.
One key element is the secret identities. Marinette doesn't know that Cat Noir is Adrien and vice versa. This creates a lot of confusion and missed opportunities for them to connect on a deeper level as normal people. Another element is their different personalities. Ladybug is more cautious and responsible, while Cat Noir is more carefree and bold, which makes their interactions interesting. Also, the constant threat of villains in Paris that they have to fight together brings them closer in a way that is unique to their relationship.
I haven't actually read this specific 'Miraculous Ladybug That Night' fanfiction yet. But generally, when reading a Miraculous Ladybug fanfic, I look for how well it captures the characters. If it stays true to their personalities from the show, like Ladybug's strong sense of justice and Chat Noir's flirty yet heroic nature, it's a good start.
One key element is the character's reaction to being in the Miraculous world. They should be surprised, excited, or maybe a bit scared at first. Another is how they interact with the existing characters like Ladybug and Chat Noir. They could start as a fan of the heroes and then become their friends or allies. Also, including the struggle with using a Miraculous power, if the character gets one, is important as it adds drama and growth to the story.
One interesting plotline could be a different take on Ladybug and Chat Noir's relationship during 'that night'. Maybe they face a new villain together and their bond deepens in a unique way.
In addition to Ladybug and Chat Noir, there might be new characters created specifically for this fanfiction. They could be other Miraculous holders that come out during 'that night' to assist Ladybug and Chat Noir in a big battle. Or perhaps a mysterious character who has some knowledge about the Miraculous that could change the course of the night for our heroes.
Character relationships are a very popular verisimilitude element. Fans love to explore the dynamics between Marinette and Adrien, as well as their relationships with their friends. For example, the friendship between Alya and Marinette is often fleshed out more in fanfiction. Another popular element is the use of the Miraculous powers. Writers will often create scenarios where the heroes have to use their powers in new and creative ways while still staying true to the show's rules. This gives a sense of familiarity and believability.
One important plot point could be the introduction of new powers or abilities. For example, Ladybug might have developed a new way to use her Lucky Charm. And for Volpina, perhaps she has found a way to make her illusions more powerful and difficult to detect. Also, the relationships between the characters can be a major plot point. There could be more tension between Marinette (Ladybug) and Alya if Alya starts to suspect that Marinette is Ladybug because of Volpina's return.
One unique element is the creative pajama designs. Often, the fanfictions will have Marinette coming up with amazing Miraculous - inspired pajama designs for herself and her friends. For example, she might create pajamas with Ladybug or Chat Noir motifs.
In a Miraculous Ladybug sleepover fanfiction, the characters might have a lot of fun. They could play games like truth or dare, which could lead to some interesting revelations. For example, Marinette might accidentally let slip some of her feelings for Adrien.
