This was inspired by a conversation that two tumblr users were having about akuma!Marinette, but sadly wasn't able to find it again.

Instead of being born from rejection, Marinette is akumatized due to stress and failure. Due to being overworked, due to not being able to stay on top of everything when she thinks she should just be able too. And when she wasn't able too and failed she has a huge meltdown.

I bring you Manynette, one of the most fun akumas I've ever written.

When Marinette burst into the classroom dressed differently and looking ready for business, Adrien sort of suspected that something was up. Especially when she took over Bustier's class, and started discussing future plans she had for the class and was seeking opinions.

Bustier, surprised, noted, "You really are getting into being the class rep, Marinette."

"Well there is so much to get done!" Marinette told her, shaking her head. She then corrected with a playful point, "And it's Presinette, actually."

That confirmed to Adrien that something was up.

He snuck out of class, transformed, took to the roofs, and was just about to call Ladybug when he saw another Marinette in front of the Dupain-Cheng's bakery, handing out free samples.

Baffled, he drew near, starting to greet, "Marin—"

This Marinette quickly corrected, "Bakinette actually. Would you like a cookie Chat?"

Chat tensed as a butterfly symbol flared over Marinette's face, only she scowled back. "Oh shut up Hawkmoth. Chat's my friend and I can offer him a cookie if I want!" Her scowl twisted up even more. "No I'm not going to take his miraculous! How will that help me with the bakery?! Take it up with Buginette."

While Mar—Bakinette argued and sassed off Hawkmoth, she handed Chat Noir a cookie, scoffing.

Gaping at her, Chat managed out, "Wha, what is going on?"

Bakinette paused, then explained, "We're Manynette! All divided up to get as many of Marinette's responsibilities done as efficiently as possible! Presinette went to the school to be class rep, Fashinette is upstairs doing fashion, I'm sure she'd love it if you model for her, Chorenette is getting all the chores done, Gardenette is up on the balcony taking care of our garden, I'm working at the bakery, Buginette is working to keep Paris safe, oh, actually, you should probably look out because she is looking for you. And catching up on sleep is Napinet—"

The symbol flared over her face once more and she rolled her eyes. "Oh go ahead, though you'll probably lose one of your most powerful akumas," Bakinette mocked. "Besides, you don't even know which of us has the real akuma!"

Then, acting out of pure spite of Hawkmoth, Bakinette gave Chat another cookie.

Chat just continued to gape, surprised that Marinette was an akuma, and was sassing back at Hawkmoth and...

He was going to need a minute.

"CHAT NOIR!"

He didn't have a minute.

He turned to see Ladybug pointing down to him, flashing him that confident smile. "Give me your miraculous so I can better protect Paris!"

Uh oh.

Chat tore off, set on escaping the pursuing Ladybug, who had to be Buginette and Marinette was Ladybug and she's been behind him this whole time and he didn't have time to think this over and had to go!

Though in his rush to escape, he completely missed a Marinette passed out on a bench, wearing a sleep mask, holding a purple ribbon, and a little kwami struggling to wake her up.
