Lukaniel

Lukaniel is the slash ship between Luka Couffaine and Nathaniel Kurtzberg from the Miraculous Ladybug fandom.

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.

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.

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.
