    Summary

    "Where will this take us?" Ruby asked.

     

    "Not where," the Blacksmith said. "When you are needed most."

     

    —————

    And sure, right before the Fall of Beacon definitely qualified as 'when they were needed most'. But could anyone really blame them for not taking the warning literally?

    Summary

    Chloe won. She used her powers as Miracle Queen to defeat the heroes, betray Hawkmoth, steal the Ladybug and Chat Noir Miraculouses, and rewrite reality with a Wish. All that remained was to live in the new world she created and enjoy the wonderful life she was sure she'd made for herself.

    But Chloe soon realizes that her new world isn't what she'd expected. She'd Wished to have Marinette's life, but instead of being the city's beloved Ladybug, Chloe finds herself a shunned outcast whose father--now reduced to a common baker--no longer has the status to let Chloe get away with her petty cruelties. Chloe's school record is abysmal, she's on probation due to all her bullying, and she doesn't have a single friend. Worst of all, the Ladybug Miraculous has been taken up by someone else, leaving her with nothing.

    Chloe resolves not to let this stand. She decides she'll fight to recover the Miraculouses and make a second, better Wish so she can build the world she feels she deserves. But this new world is far less forgiving than her old one, and as Chloe discovers, if she doesn't change for the better, her fate will be far worse than simply not getting what she wants.

    In fact, she might not even survive.
