Summary:

"Good," said Hawkmoth. "He'll be home soon."

Nathalie pinned the Peacock Miraculous to her jacket and called her transformation, ignoring the sad expression Duusu wore. Mayura seized at the pain that felt most like Adrien's—the emotions dissolved like struck mist. The fury beside it, unmistakably that of Marinette Dupain-Cheng—if one of them could twist her, as strong as she must be to have resisted so often and so long? soon, surely—but that too evaporated.

"A mother's love for a daughter not her own," mused Hawkmoth, infusing one of the white butterflies with violet Miraculous strength. "A mother's anger on the girl's behalf, that the girl's true parents abandoned her. This will serve."

I assume this fic will have a fitting title eventually:

"I don't know where Plagg and Tikki went. Hopefully not far, if you want my mask back on before you open your eyes…"

"…your mask," Marinette repeated. "Chat—"

Chat Noir rolled off of her, taking Marinette's blanket with him; she squeaked at the cool air. "If you want me to pretend I don't know, then I've never been here before and I've never seen you in my life," he told her, unenthusiastic. "If you want one or both of us to quit—"

She clapped a hand to her mouth to muffle the despairing whine.
