Fics like we'll crack before we shatter

He doesn't even finish reading the letter. He doesn't get much farther than 'I am truly sorry, Chat Noir. You have been an absolutely astounding holder of the Black Cat Miraculous-' and the realisation that the reassuring weight on his finger is gone, that the reassuring presence of his kwami is gone, and he's not prepared to lose Plagg. He was never going to be prepared to lose Plagg, but especially not in the dead of night with no warning, especially not now when he's already spent all day worrying about Nathalie. (It's not 'nothing to worry about.' It's never nothing to worry about). He skims the rest of the letter as fast as possible even as he's throwing himself out of bed, finding himself horribly torn at the news that Master Fu's taken Ladybug's Miraculous as well. There's a level of relief in knowing that it really isn't that he's failing somehow at being Chat Noir, but that doesn't begin to override his near-panic at waking to find Plagg gone, and if Tikki's gone too- Then he might well be losing Ladybug as well.
