I do not own the Miraculous Ladybug franchise

I am finally redoing this fic collection and cleaning it up. Some of the better ones will stay like the blogger AU.

She is the first you see when you enter the room. She greets her guests with a graceful smile and eyes that follow to every corner. She is larger than life. Flawless, perfectly poised.

She is everything Marinette's husband tells her, she is the nostalgia in his eyes when he speaks of his youth, she is tears in the late night when the light sleeps.

And yet, there are other things.

Old newspaper clippings and the secret discovered behind her portrait the day after she finally pitted the men she loved against each other.

Small pieces that weave together into something bigger. Is it an accurate portrayal? Will anyone ever truly know now?

Sometimes.

Sometimes, Marinette hears him tell her things he'll never tell her.

She lets it go, for now. It is still too soon.

Even if it has been years.

She is his mother and she seems to be as eternal in their lives as the legacy of the Miraculous.

A.N. How Marinette feels about her Mother-in-law?

AU in which Mrs Agreste never comes back and her portrait is on the wall in Mari's and Adrien's house.

BTW THE GUEST WHO GUESSED SHATTERING ERA WAS BROKEN TIME WAS RIGHT. YOU CAN MAKE THE REQUEST WHICH WAS THE PRIZE IF YOU SEE THIS AND WANT IT.
