Summary
Une bougie - One candle
Peut illuminer la nuit - Can illuminate the night
Un sourire - One smile
Peut bâtir tout un empire - Can build an entire empire
Et il y a toi - And there is you
Et il y a moi - And there is me
Et personne n'y croit - And no one believes it
Mais l'amour fait d'un fou un roi - But love makes a king out of a lunatic
Et si tu m'ignores - And if you ignore me
J'me battrai encore et encore - I'd fight again and againIn a city with a sun that never shines, a boy tries to find a light-in himself, in others, regardless of the shadows in his heart. In the city of love, a girl loses all herself to a hatred she couldn't fight, a loathing that brought death in a place where the wicked found no mercy.
Both betrayed by their own upbringings and childhoods that never were, they find one another. Two broken souls, bound by sorrow, striving to heal where no one believes healing is possible. Forever doomed by their own faults to remain in a tragedy, they try to run. Fate has control over them no more, breaking free from a life of ruin.
The two, forever trapped in tragedy. Fighting forever to escape. An endless cycle. A miraculous end forevermore.

Summary
Marinette feels an icy splash rush down her spine as it dawns on her who she's encountering, the chill flooding her stomach as she notices something metal glinting in his white-gloved hand.
His arm holding the gun pointed in her direction stiffens, his dark frown lowering further.
Ingesting the faux feline ears shaped from leather atop his messy blonde hair, Marinette gulps. "You're… you're…"
A twitch upticks the corner of his mouth. Amusement sliding into his gaze.
"The one and only," Chat Blanc confirms.
When a freak storm causes a power outage, Marinette never expects to find France's Most-Wanted thief, Chat Blanc, bleeding in her bakery. Reluctantly, she patches him up, thinking it’s a one-time favor. But, Chat Blanc has other plans. As his unexpected visits—and roguish charm—begin to pull her in, Marinette finds herself torn between her conscience and her heart. Falling for the witty cat burglar, she’s determined to help him escape the crime ring controlling him.
