summary: She’s always unnerved by it, by him.
It’s unsettling to look and see the same person in so many different faces.
(Or: Child miraculous holders de-transform into previous holders, not their original bodies. It's just—they can't exactly go home like that, can they? So they go to the Guardian, and leave the people around them to pick up the pieces of a mystery that will never make sense.)
(Alternatively: Marinette and Adrien are still Marinette and Adrien. They’re just the only ones who know that.)

summary: Archive's note: This is a digitized copy of a high-quality reproduction previously used for graduate-level and doctoral research done in realtime. It does include annotations added after the fact, but rest assured, no one has been marking up the original historical document with asterisks! -Dr. Nelda Hinajosa-Mogilla, Senior Archivist
The fact that Lafayette was the last to wield the eagle Miraculous before a two-century gap does not automatically mean he was the only eagle-wielder before that gap.

summary: The following is a transcript of a letter fragment. Analysis has placed it as written and sent circa 1830, though the exact date is uncertain. Its origin has been confirmed by remaining associated postmark information as Mexico City, and its last point of arrival as somewhere within what is now the state of California. The full names of its sender and recipient are, unfortunately, among the information we have yet to discern.
No one has ever explicitly stated that Mexicana Ladybug wielder La Mariquita, when she was active, was alone.

summary: When the prosecution starts throwing around the word victim in reference to Adrien, he has to stuff his hands under his thighs to keep himself from bolting out of the courtroom.
Adrien had felt unsafe during those last few weeks, but, until he had woken up and seen Father silhouetted in his bedroom doorway, that had only been paranoia. Father was controlling and cold, but he wasn’t hateful. Adrien was isolated. He was often hungry. And some weeks ago, when he had snuck out to visit Nino, sitting thigh-to-thigh on his bed while Adrien cried in that silent, crumbling way of his, he hadn’t argued when Nino put a hand on his shoulder and said, tentatively, That’s abuse.
But Adrien remembers being small and Father touching his hair after he’d aced another test; Father holding his scribbled drawings like they were something precious, and framing them around his office; Father, dressed as Hawkmoth, his eyes wild behind the mask, lashing his sword against Adrien’s baton; Father, collapsed against Mum, crying into her ashy hair.
Adrien finds out Gabriel is Hawkmoth, and Gabriel gets to bring his long-waited plan into action.
