Summary

After another unfortunate defeat from Ladybug and Chat Noir, Paris’s two supervillains are now finding themselves overcome with more dread than ever, Hawkmoth especially. So, in an attempt to cheer the broken down man up, Mayura recalls back to a night where she was feeling particularly worn out, and was able to calm herself down a bit by heading up to the Eiffel Tower, bottle of champagne in hand, and looking over the view. Now, determined to get his mind off of things, she makes the offer of doing the same for him, leading to all sorts of things, such as emotional confessions, laughs, and even some dancing. Based on the song “Here’s to us.” By Halestorm!

This story was so calm and soothing, it was such a delight to read it. You did a wonderful job with the atmosphere and I enjoyed seeing these two characters just have a little break and be themselves. I like to believe that if we got the chance to see these two closed people lay back a little with only each other as company, this is what we would get. And I think you nailed it.

This is a balm to my soul after some of the wonderful but very heavy fics that we've seen so far! I enjoyed the lightheartedness of this piece, not that it was without moments of genuine feeling. This is the kind of story that I would love to see incorporated into an episode. I crave more of this slice-of-life type story that really shows the love and warmth between these two.

That's was so chill and lighthearted. I loved it! Also kudos to them for drinking multiple glasses of champagne and still being able to have coherent conversations. They must have the tolerance of gods lmao

Goodness, I'm so sorry it took me so long to leave a comment on this story! ;-;
This was a wonderful story, very wholesome and genuinely inspiring. I couldn't help but picture Hawkmoth and Mayura where they were on the Eiffel Tower, drinking and trying to unwind from their many defeats. Everything was described well, and Hawkmoth and Mayura's interactions with each other have continued to inspire me to write Miraculous again. Thank you so much for participating in the GabeNath Minibang, and thank you for writing this absolutely lovely story! :D <3
Incredible job on this story! Keep up the fantastic work! :)
