Epilogue

~Dr. Sanguines P.O.V~

"I'm sorry for the wait," I apologized as I stepped inside my office, closing the door behind me. "It seems I've become a person of interest in the medical community since my return. I wasn't expecting to receive so much business at this hour."

"Think nothing of it, I'm sure a man a bright as yourself has a hard time finding a moment to spare. Forgive me for taking up your valuable on such short notice." The man said, not bothering to look away from my office window as I entered.

"Not at all," I shrugged off my coat onto the hanger. "Here to ask more questions?"

"Yes," he nodded. "I wish to know a little more about Miss Dupain-Cheng's recovery. I was informed she was no longer taking treatments."

"You heard right, "I confirmed. "By the time I joined the medical team to care for her, she no longer needed anything from us. Somehow, it seems she made a remarkable recovery on her own. I was ready to offer her whatever financial support was required but thanks to your funding, I doubted she would have needed it," I inclined my head in his general direction. "You should know her parents are eager to meet you if you should you decide to let them know your identity Mr. Agrest."

"Their gratitude is not necessary," Gabriel Agreste dismissed, finally turning around to face me while placing his hands against his back in a serious stance. "It's over and done, we can all move onto more pressing matters."

"Which brings us to the real reason you've stopped by I presume?"

"It has," he gave another nod. "I have more questions about the night you were... liberated, by Ladybug and Chat Noir. That was the same night Miss Dupain-Cheng was dropped off at the hospital was it not? Around the same area Ladybug and Chat Noir had been spotted in earlier?"

"I can't say I remember the exact location..." I rested a hand on my chin whilst sifting through events I could hardly recall. "But yes, I believe you're correct. Are you asking for any particular reason?"

"Simply to clarify the situation," he answered. "It was interesting, that you were the one to find her after she was dropped off in front of the hospital."

"Yes, I suppose it was," I chuckled, setting myself down in my desk chair. "Funny how things work out for the best sometimes."

"Funny," he agreed in a voice that suggested he didn't find it funny at all.

He walked away from the window and retreated back to the table to take the seat across from me, maintaining the same level of professionalism all the while. I could tell this was a very serious individual.

"So tell me," he began, giving me a sense of undivided attention. "What else do you remember from that night?"

Final Authors Note:

Hello my dear readers!

Firstly, I'd like to say that I'm a firm believer in happy endings, and I like to end stories with the possiblility of continuing on to somthing else, but I do not intend to write anymore for this fan fiction. If I were to continue the story, it would be about Hawkmoth trying to piece together the identities of Ladybug and Chat Noir, but ya know, feel free to decide what you think would happen on your own.

I know there are quite a few of you who have recently stumbled on this story- and binge read the whole thing in just a couple of hours (which I find flattering), but those of you who have been following from the start know very well that it took two whole years for me to get this down on paper and upload for you to enjoy. Two years I hadn't accounted for, as when I first started this story I thought it was going to take me three months max to complete so….. HA! HA! HA! Ahhhh… Sweet foolish younger me. Hehe.

Anyway, I'd genuinely like to thank those who stayed with me through that long writing process, which brings me to the part where I answer some of your questions to the best of my ability!

Q#1: "Is this really your first story?"

A: Yes, this is really my first story. As in ever.

I can't quite remember what made me think of the idea, but I know that I was frustrated that the official Miraculous show was taking so long to come out, and I was equally frustrated that I couldn't seem to find the kind of fanfiction I wanted to read. Every time I'd get close to a story I liked, it didn't quite pan out how I wanted by the end so I just thought, 'screw it, I'll make my own.' then I sat my butt down and wrote what I wanted to read. I started writing somewhere in the middle of the plot and I didn't actually intend to complete it, but the more I started writing the more I realized I liked writing, and I just really wanted to keep going. Eventually, I had such a clear idea in my head I desperately wanted someway to share it with someone else, so I decided to write the whole thing from start to finish and uploaded it to fanfiction for others to read.

(Fun fact; Originally I wanted to make this a comic, but I'm such a huge perfectionist I didn't feel my level of art could properly display the things I wanted to express within the story. Now that my art abilities have improved I'm not quite sure if I want to make this into a comic anymore, haha. But hey! I'm still considering the possibility).

Q#2: Are you a science major?

A: lol, no.

All the sciency/ medical information I put in this story were added because I wanted to bring a bit of realism to the events, which in turn gave me a more interesting story to write. As a bonus, I've become a supercool lightning expert so woohoo! That's a interesting conversation starter.

Q#3: Did the butterflies heal Marinette on their own? Or were they fulfilling Hawkmoths inner desire to not get anyone hurt/killed?

A: The butterflies came and healed Marinette and Adrien at the end as a kind of 'thank you' gesture for everything the two of them have done to help them, but it is also true that Hawkmoth had an inner desire for no one to get hurt.

Q#4: How did the butterflies heal Marinette? I kind of have a theory in regards to that one and that is that cleansing Akumas and lucky charm are the same magic but different variations of it. Whereas lucky charm is pure concentrated creation magic melded with healing magic, cleansing Akumas uses healing magic while leaving a little bit of creation magic in the previously akumatized butterfly. This is why the butterflies were able to heal Mari as their large mass of healing magic gathered together was enough to heal her and act as a weaker lucky charm to those in the vicinity.

A: Whoever you are, you answered your own question. This pretty perfectly sums up the idea I had for why the butterflies were able to heal Marinette as well as Adrien. Good job on figuring that out. ;P

Q#5: Will you be writing any other fanfics on this account?

A: As much as I've enjoyed writing this story, I'm fairly positive this will be the last-, and only fanfiction I ever write. The reason I stuck to this story so diligently is because I thought it would be good practice for when I started writing my own personal novel. I don't think my writing is close to perfect yet, but I certainly feel like I have more of an idea of what to do now than I did two years ago and I want to put this level of effort into my own sTorres and characters from now on.

Q#6: What (in your opinion) was the hardest thing about writing this story?

A: The hardest part was not knowing how to write my ideas out, and not having anyone who was able to really help me with the process. I didn't tell my family what I was writing because none of them like miraculous Ladybug and I knew I wasn't gonna get good feedback from them (not because they were mean, but because they simply weren't my targeted audience), and my friends either didn't like miraculous Ladybug, or they didn't have the patience to read my story so... I almost didn't finish what I was doing because I didn't feel like anyone really showed interest, which I imagine is hard for anyone who puts hard work into anything; but this also helped me decide that I wanted to write for myself that I wanted to continue to better my writing skills no matter who liked my story, because I liked my story, and I liked writing, and in the end this helped me learn how to make decision on my own.

Lastly, to all of you who have followed, favorited, or left a comment for me to read, thank you for making my first writing experience a pleasant one. I was certain I was going to get a few inevitable haters when I uploaded, but the comments have remained consistently helpful, positive, and supportive so- pheww, I really feel like I've dodged a bullet there.

I'm so thrilled I've finished writing this story (because there were moments I didn't think I would), and I'm even more thrilled that so many people enjoyed to read it! Not only that, but so many of you have gone out of your way to leave incredibly thoughtful comments for me to read, which made me feel like the whole process was worthwhile. I will remember all your encouraging words and messages fondly in years to come and as always, thank you all for reading.
