A/N: Major spoilers for Heart Hunter and Miracle Queen.

Marinette lay in bed, the blankets curled up around her.

Yesterday, everything was...well, not quite simple, but understandable. She liked Adrien, the Guardian was an old man who moved around a lot, and Chloe was...better?

Now, that had changed. Adrien apparently had a girlfriend in Kagami, Luka was...yeah. That was something that needed a good couple hours to process.

The Guardian...was her. She had an egg-shaped box with a ladybug pattern on it in her chaise, under various fabric and works in progress, that contained about a dozen Miraculous, maybe a few more. She was responsible for those powers, and the innocent kwamis that accompanied them.

Chloe would never again get a Miraculous, Marinette decided. Strangely, Marinette was disappointed. She seemed to be doing better, but if you ally yourself to Hawkmoth, it gets a lot harder to prove yourself.

Marinette sighed, eventually drifting off to sleep as the newest Guardian of the Miraculous.

That's not to say that she slept well.

A/N This is designed as a one-shot about the consequences of Heart Hunter and Miracle Queen on Marinette. I have some ideas of what to do for other characters, but I wanted to see what the reaction was to this.

Please review, especially if you want this sort of thing for other characters.
