Of Star-Crossed Sardonicism

After the events of the first installment of the Miraculous Spiderman Series, Peter and Adrien are legally brothers, the Papillon is dead, Paris is saved, and Nathalie Sancoeur is set to appear on trial. Things get complicated, however, when Felix Graham de Vanily, who had been minding his business until this point, finds himself thrust into the midst of the trial and all the unwanted attention that comes with it. He is finally in the same world his cousin and Spiderman are all too comfortable with, all while avoiding the particularly clingy Bridgette, but in his haste to return to a life free of upper-class drama, he introduces a variable not even Peter Parker knows how to handle--Felicia Hardy.

Some of you might recall that I began this story about a year ago, but wound up removing it after a few chapters. The reason for this is that, at the time, I wasn't quite certain what direction I wanted the story to go in, only that I wanted to center it around Felix and what happened once he got caught up in the superhero storm. Well, a year later, I finally know what I want to do with it, and the answer is a slightly grittier, more real sequel to the original story I'd written. The original saw Peter and Adrien become brothers, Marinette and Adrien fall in love, and Felix become Spiderman's manager, ending with the defeat of the Papillon at the hands of Paris's finest heroes. This time around, I want to delve in to the aftermath of that battle, what it takes to be a superhero or a high-profile figure in society, and who Felix is when you bring him to the forefront of a world he's previously avoided.
