Miraculous Ladybug/Ships

Adrinath
Adrinath is the slash ship between Adrien Agreste and Nathaniel Kurtzberg from the Miraculous Ladybug fandom.

Canon
Adrien and Nathaniel are students at Françoise Dupont High School, who are in the same class. They have very little interaction with each other outside of school, but there are times when both of them take part in some of the group activities, as well as a few kinds of group get togethers with the rest of their classmates. Nathaniel was also one of the many akumatized villains that Adrien fought as Cat Noir, until he helps Ladybug to get Nathaniel turn back to normal, as he sees Cat Noir standing before him with Ladybug. Cat Noir had even came to Nathaniel's aid when a monster-themed akumatized villain attacked their school and captured Nathaniel beside their classmates.

When Nathanial became a target of the akumatized villain, Reverser, and even though Cat Noir was affected by his villain abilities, he does what he can to protect him from Reverser. As they go to face the villain with Ladybug and Alix, Nathanial helps Cat Noir to make the kit-like glider that they use to fight Reverser in the air. After Reverser was reverted to Marc, Nathaniel teams up with Marc to make a comic book of his reformed villain self fighting beside Cat Noir as a team beside Ladybug and a reformed Reverser.

In "Party Crasher", Nathaniel attends the Boys only Party that Nino and a few of their friends put together for Adrien, where he and Marc Anciel kiss Adrien on the cheeks, while Ivan Bruel gives them a group hug for photo. Nathaniel was later captured by the titled villain and after he and Cat Noir, along with the rest of the party guests and attending superheroes, were freed, Nathaniel ducks for cover as Cat Noir helps his allies to defeat Party Crasher. Once the battle was over, as well as the party the two were having fun at, Nathaniel helps Adrien and their friends to clean up his room from the crashed party.

Fanon
While the two have little interaction with each other outside of school, aside from doing a few fun activities with the rest of their classmates in the series, it hasn't stop fans from shipping them together. Some even have Nathaniel helping Adrien to get close with Marinette, in versions where Adrien realizes that he has feelings for her while Nath cares about her happiness and decides to put any kind of resentment aside, so they can make Marinette happy.

In the popular Breakdancing AU of the Miraculous Ladybug fandom, both Adrien and Nathanial are two of its most commonly added and notable characters. With Adrien, going by the street name Cat Noir, is one of the dancers while Nathaniel helps him to dawn in the black face paint that acts as his mask. Along with Nathaniel being a fellow street dancer, that has his theme match with his akumatize self. As most past akumatized villains are given themes of their villain forms in Miraculous Ladybug featured AUs.

On AO3, the ship has over 136 fanfics.

Kimax
Kimax is the slash ship between Lê Chiến Kim and Max Kanté from the Miraculous Ladybug fandom.

Canon
Kim and Max are best friends, who are usually seen sitting next to each other in class and hanging out together out side of school. Kim trusts Max and often looks to him for advice. Because Kim knows the high level of Max's inventions and intelligence he supports him, as well as him being impressed with the arm that he believed Max had added to Markov.

In "Syren", Max waits for Kim outside the theater. When Kim arrives he asks Max if Chloé Bourgeois has arrived, but Max tells him that the film they are going to see isn't one that she'd be interested in, before handing a disappointed Kim his ticket. Shortly after Syren floods the city and they all rush to the roof for higher ground. Kim drives into the water think that it is safe and Max becomes worried for his friend after Syren drags Kim under the water.

In "Party Crasher", Kim and Max help Nino throw a boys-only party in Adrien's honour. When Max gets captured by the titled villain, Kim comes to his and the other captured heroes recuse. Once freed the heroes work together in defeating Party Crasher and when the battle was done, Max and Kim help their friends in clearing up Adrien's room before they go to help the girls plant trees.

Fanon
Kimax is one of the more popular slash ships in the fandom. Some fans have Kimax rival the ship Kimdine, while Kimaxdine helps to form a peaceful compromise between the two ships.

After Max and Kim were given their own Miraculouses in season three, it inspired a few fans to feature the two as their hero selves in some of their Kimax fanart and fics. Along with there being Kimax fanart that makes references to their akumatized selves, as it is a common trait in the ML fandom, and even portraying Max and Kim as the holders of the Ladybug and Cat Mirculouses, for fun.

On AO3, Kimax is the most written ship for Max and the second most written for Kim.

Variations

 * Kimaxdine refers to the ship between Kim, Max and Ondine

Kimaxdine
Kimaxdine is the polyship ship between Lê Chiến Kim, Max Kanté and Ondine from the Miraculous Ladybug fandom.

Canon
Max doesn't know Ondine very well, but he had heard about her from Kim who enjoys spending time with her at the pool; and the end of "Syren" indicates that Kim and Ondine might have started dating after he begins to return Ondine's feelings for him. Since Kim tells Max in "Gamer 2.0" that he had made plans to spend sometime with Ondine. While the two boys are best friends and classmates. Before "Syren" aired, the three of them made a appearance in Clara Nightingale's music video in "Frightningale", while during the season two finale, all three of them were re-akumatized by a crimson Hawk Moth.

Fanon
Kimaxdine is a very rare, slow growing polyship Miraculous Ladybug ship that focuses on Kim's friendship with both Max and Ondine, who have both been shipped with Kim; and some fans have Kimax (Kim x Max) and Kimdine (Kim x Ondine) rival with each other. While Kimaxdine helps to form a peaceful compromise between the two ships.

Unlike Max, Ondine is sporty like Kim and enjoys spending time with him at the pool, as well as her having romantic feelings for Kim. While Max has been friends with Kim since the preview school year before the events in the series began, and possible longer, he is always by Kim's side and helps him with any kind of help. Since Max helped Kim on Valentines day, and Chloe's mean personality being the only reason why Max's surjections didn't work, there is a chance that Kim might ask Max for the same kind of advice on how he can make Ondine his Valentine. Even though it has only be presumed and not officially conformed that Kim and Ondine started dating each other after the events of "Syren", when he asked her to see a movie with him.

Since both Kim and Max are on and off holders of the Monkey and Horse Miraculouses in season three, and the twelve Chinese Zodiac Miraculouses were added in season two, there is a chance that if any new Miraculouses, where one of might be of a watery dwelling animal, get added to the series, since the season three episode "Feast" reveals that there are indeed other kinds of Miraculouses, one of them might end up being entrusted to Ondine. In which would have her fighting by King Monkey and Pegasus's sides.

On AO3, the poly ship only has about 4 fanfics.

Lukagaminette
Lukagaminette is the poly ship between Kagami Tsurugi, Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Luka Couffaine from the Miraculous Ladybug fandom.

Canon
While Luka and Kagami don't know really each other, they are both friends with Marinette. Kagami had first seen Marinette as a love rival, before becoming her friend in "Ikari Gozen". Luka is in love with Marinette. When Marinette and Luka went on a "date" at the ice rink in "Frozer", they bump into Kagami who had taken a few glimpses of them whenever she caught Adrien looking at Marinette while Luka is close to her side and follows Adrien's gaze on her. Kagami had skated passed Luka when she went to help Marinette get back in her feet.

In "Desperada" Kagami visits the two at Luka's boat with Adrien as they got to see him and their friends, while skipping fencing class for the day, and see Luka teaching Marinette a few notes on his guitar, in which has her mistaking them for boyfriend and girlfriend. After Viperion helps Ladybug and Cat Noir defeat the titled villain and they spent the rest of the day play music with his band while Kagami watches them, she tells Marinette to quickly make her choice between Luka and Adrien as love is something that people can't have second chance at, while Alya reminds both girls that either of the two boys have made their own choices yet.

Fanon
Lukagaminette is a rare poly Miraculous Ladybug ship, as Luka and Kagami don't know each other well.

Because both Luka and Kagami are temporarily entrusted with Miraculouses, the Snake Miraculous and the Dragon Miraculous, many fans hope that future episodes in the series would have Viperion and Ryuko helping Ladybug, together as a team of three. Since the season three episode, "Timetagger", reveals that during the time of their future adulthood, Ladybug and Cat Noir have assembled a team of fellow Miraculous holders, many fans theorize that this team may include both Ryoko and Viperion's talents, some of the most useful Miraculouses. The fact that they'll be facing a different holder of the Butterfly Miraculous, also revealed in that episode, who might not know who Ryuko truly is making it safe for Kagami to become the dragon-themed heroine again without placing her family and loved ones in danger, the same with Luka since the season three finale has the current Hawk Moth uncovering Viperion's and the other temporally heroes' secret identities.

Trivia

 * According to Feri González, both Luka and Kagami aren't limited to the role of alternate love interest.
 * The out of order released episode "Party Crasher" reveals that Luka became one of Ladybug and Cat Noir's temporary allies, holder of the Snake Miraculous. His name of choice was Viperion and he was given the power of Second Chance, which grants the ability to go about two minutes back in time an unlimited amount of times.
 * Fans knew for some time that Luka would receive the Snake Miraculous, as leaks of the concept art for Viperion and his name were leaked. At this time, we also saw Kagami's hero form, Ryoko, released, along with Marinette as Multimouse. This prompted fans to draw fanart with all three together in their new superhero forms.

Lukaniel
Lukaniel is the slash ship between Luka Couffaine and Nathaniel Kurtzberg.

Canon
Luka and Nathaniel don't know each other very well, but their paths have crossed at the boys-only party that Nino threw for Adrien in "Party Crasher", where they were briefly seen standing not too far from each other when the titled villain attacked; and when the party "ended" they stayed behind to help Adrien and a few of his friends to clear up his room. Because Luka's younger sister, Juleka, is in the same class and art club as Nathaniel, there is a chance that they might have heard about each other from her, while their brief on screen "moment" in "Party Crasher" subjects that they might have been talking to each other in passing. Before the boys-only party was crashed, and after the titled villain was defeated the two helped their friends to clean up Adrien's room. Like Nathaniel is with both Ladybug and Cat Noir, he has no idea that Luka is the off and on snake-themed superhero, Viperion.

In "Miracle Queen", Luka and Nathaniel are seen spending the rest of the day with Nathaniel's friends and classmates, as Luka and Marinette sit right next to Nathaniel and Marc. There is a chance that Nathaniel will be one of the many mind control victims of the title villain's wasps, like Luka was, until Ladybug and Cat Noir defeated Miracle Queen and freed them all from her control.

Fanon
While the exact origins of the ship is a mystery, as the two don't know each very well or at all, but there is a possible chance that it might have began when fans decided to ship them through their similar traits, as both Luka and Nathaniel have their own ways of expressing themselves, music and art, respect Ladybug and are friends with Marinette, as well as having a romantic interest in her; without knowing that Ladybug and Marinette are in fact the same person. Even though Nathaniel's romantic feelings for Marinette died down after he was de-akumatized and had began to develop a crush on Ladybug, before he meets and befriends Marc. Because Luka has also been fanon shipped with Marc, fans sometimes have Lukaniel rival with Lumarc or ship all three boys together in a poly ship.

When Miraculous Ladybug fans briefly saw Luka and Nathaniel standing "beside" each other in "Party Crasher", a few began to see Lukaniel as a fanon "canon" ship. As they believe that before the party was crashed by the said villain, Luka and Nathaniel were properly having a conversation with one another or were dancing beside each other. While some feature this theory in their fan art and written work. Along with having Juleka as one of the people who brought Luka and Nathaniel together, since she has a connection with both boys, which is why she is sometimes include in the ship's fanfics and art.

On AO3, the ship has about 27 fanfics, while fanfiction.net has 24. The ship also has a reasonable size fanbase on Tumblr, where some of its fanart has the two showing each other their music and art creations, as well as doing what they love to do together and even has Nath drawing Luka (as either his civilian or superhero self); since he has a habit of drawing the people in his life. That he is every close with and makes sure to references them in his art in any way.

MariDami
Maridami is the het ship between Damian Wayne and Marinette Dupain-Cheng from the DC Comics and Miraculous Ladybug fandoms.

Canon
As Marinette and Damian are from different series, they have never met in canon. Their series are even from different companies. So it's very difficult for them to find each other, if not impossible.

Both Marinette and Damian are child superheroes, with colorful costumes. They are more serious than their companions, who are more relaxed and love to joke. They also stand out for their intelligence, being able to come up with plans when the going gets tough. The two also spend time with other young heroes like them while being mentored by adult heroes, like Batman and the former Jade Turtle, along with the two jumping from rooftops or swinging around buildings to get around their home cities; as their hero selves.

Their other common link is the color scheme of their red and black clothes, although Damian's has green and yellow details that Marinette's doesn't (apart from when she infused the Ladybug Miraculous with the Dragon Miraculous to become Dragon Bug and got the color yellow added to her infused costume). As Damian wears a red shirt with black sleeves and pants, Marinette wears a red full body leotard with black tips. They also have a special link with animals, to the point of carrying them in their hero aliases. Marinette's Dragon Bug form allows her to wield the Dragon Miraculous' sword tool, and Damian's upbringing had him learning how to use a sword.

Fanon
Maridami is a well like ship of the ML/DC crossover fandom, since both teens are child superheroes who have a few things in common and those traits inspired fans to ship them together. Although the exact origin of the ship is somewhat mysterious, it may be simply due to fans who like crossover ships. A few of the ship's fanwork has Ladybug and Robin teaming up or have Marinette and Damian simply enjoying each other's company as their civilian selves.

On AO3, there is a very large list of fanfics, even if it's not a big deal compared to the more than 1100 fics by DamiJon or the 1400 by Lukanette. The ship also has support on Tumblr.

Nathalix
Nathalix is the friendship between Alix Kubdel and Nathaniel Kurtzberg.

Canon
Alix and Nathaniel are students at Françoise Dupont High School, who are in the same class. Season one has the two having little interaction with each other outside of school, but there are times when both of them take part in some of the group activities, as well as a few kinds of group get togethers with the rest of their classmates. Like her race with Kim where Nathanial cheers Alix on, as well as them helping Nino to make his film before they both get captured by an akumatized villain.

While in the season two episode, "Reverser", they are shown to be very close friends who take part in an art club; as Alix is into street art, while most of Nathaniel's drawings are of a comic strip style. The episode also shows Alix to be a younger sister-like figure to Nathaniel, as she playfully teases Nathaniel, sticks up for him, gives Nathaniell her support, like when she tells him that he'll be able to meet someone who would want to make a comic book of his drawings with him, and listens to his problems when he needs comfort and advice from her. Like when he presumed that Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Marc had played a joke on him, Alix helps him to realize that Marinette isn't the kind of person who would do something like that, along with the fact that his dissepiment might had caused him to miss assume that was the case. Since Nathanial has misread situations before, while Alix's words help him to see that she is kindly right.

Once Alix learns from Ladybug and Cat Noir that Nathaniel is one of the main targets of an akumatized villain, she states that she wasn't going to sit on the sideline while her friend is in danger and wants to help them keep Nathaniel safe from Reverser. Which she does, as the superhero duo weren't themselves and needed help to defeat Reverser before he could use his abilities on Nathaniel. After Reverser was reverted back to Marc, Nathanial gives Alix a copy of the comic book he made with Marc. While Alix is pleased to see that her friend did find his letter for his comic drawings and couldn't wait to see the rest of their series.

Season Two
Reverser
 * Alix asks Nathaniel to toss her red spry paint to which he happily obliges.
 * Nathaniel throws a scrunched up piece of paper at Alix as a way to tell her to "knock it off", after she playfully teases him.

Quotes
"Don't worry buddy. There's gotta be somebody out there just waiting to meet you."

- Alix to Nathaniel in "Reverser"

"[Nathaniel] likes to draw people in skinny suits."

- Alix playfully teasing Nathaniel in "Reverser"

"It looks like to me you’re gonna need a helping hand. [...] Nathaniel is my friend. I’m not dropping him."

- Alix to Ladybug and Cat Noir in "Reverser"

Fanon
Soon after "Reverser" aired, fans fell in love with Alix and Nathaniel's friendship and a few began to ship them. Though some did ship the two before episode aired. The growing popularity of Marcaniel, however, might be the reason why Nathalix isn't very popular itself, but still has a few loyal supporters.

On AO3, the ship has 16 fanfics. A few of the ship's fanart, on Tumblr and DeviantART, has them as their akumatized selves, or wear clothes that are similar to their villain forms, which is commonly seen in ML's popular Breakdancing AU and a few other AUs.

Trilya
Trilya is the non-binary ship between Alya Césaire and Trixx.

Canon
Not much is known about Alya and Trixx's relationship, as their moments together are very brief and have temporally been on and off ownership of the Fox Miraculous. Trixx is impressed by Alya's observational skills and heroic qualities. While their first meeting has the Fox Kwami being very found of Alya, he encourages her to keep her promise of returning the Fox Miraculous. Alya didn't want to say goodbye to Trixx, but in the end, she took his advice.

Whenever Alya is entrusted with Fox Miraculous, she is always happy to see Trixx again. She has taken his advice to heart as after each time she returns to the Miraculous when she's done. All while looking forward to their next encounter.

Fanon
Whenever fans ship Alya with Trixx together romantically, some have the Kwami as a human or a human-fox hybrid version of himself beside her. While their times together are very short some fans like to imagine Trixx being Alya's fulltime Kwami. Some see them having the similar kind of relationship that Marinette has with Tikki. Some even have Alya discussing her Ladybug theories with Trixx and what she should post on the Ladyblog. There have even been fans to prefer to have Trilya as a friendship ship.

A few fan work has Alya protecting Trixx from Lila whenever she tries to take the Fox Miraculous for herself and Alya having trouble keeping her little fox friend a secret from her sisters. While Alya and Trixx's bond has inspired fans place the two in a Pokémon AU, where a fox Pokémon version of Trixx is placed as Alya's Pokémon partner and friend, for fun.

On AO3, they have 45 fanfics, while fanfiction.net has only 3 in its Miraculous Ladybug category.

Waynino
Waynino is the non-binary ship between Nino Lahiffe and Wayzz.

Canon
When the two meet for the first time, Nino mistaken Wayzz for a genie before Wayzz explains that while he isn't a genie who grants wishes, he is able to grant Nino powers. Wayzz is impressed by Nino as he used the power of the Turtle Miraculous wisely and didn't hesitate to hand it back to Ladybug once the battle is over.

When Wayzz's was once again entrusted to Nino in "Catalyst", the he is shown to have become closer with Nino. They do a special handshake, and Wayzz had caught onto the way Nino talks. Once the battle is over in "Mayura" and Carapace de-transforms back into Nino, he smiles at the Kwami before handing his Miraculous back to Ladybug.

Fanon
Even though their times together are very short some fans like to imagine Wayzz becoming Nino's fulltime Kwami. Some see them having the similar kind of relationship that Marinette and Adrien have with their Kwamis. Some view their relationship only as a friendship. Before season two aired, many fans had came up with the idea of Wayzz and his Miraculous somehow finding their way to Nino as Fu's successor, or have Nino stumbling across Wayzz after he was taken away from Fu and lent Nino his power for protection.

Some even have Nino sharing his fondness for music with the Kwami, since Wayzz probably wouldn't mind resting himself in Nino's headphones. Along with fanfics and art have Wayzz care for Nino and being the person/Kwami who would hear what Nino has to say, whenever he needs someone to talk to. There have even been fanart of the two referencing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, for fun. Wayzz is main reason why fans depict a turtle as Nino's spirit animal and have partnered him up with a turtle-like Pokémon in a Pokémon AU. A small group of fans have even compared their handshake to the one from Finding Nemo, believing that it is based on it. The bond Nino forms with Wayzz and the ships DjWifi and Adrino has inspired a few fans to ship Wayzz with either Plagg or Trixx, whenever they ship one of those two Kwami ships beside one of the two Nino ships.

On AO3, they have 20 fanfics, while FanFiction.net only has three fanfics. Tumblr also has a descent amount of fanart images and gifs of the two together, while Deviantart has a few less images of Nino with Wayzz.
