#um is this also adrienette

[buginete]

they’re in love.

[buggachat]

adrien never went to public school / adrienette have never met AU where Ladynoir are dating but Marinette has beef with Adrien Agreste™ on twitter, spurred by her interest in the fashion industry and her friendship with Mylene. ads are all over the place of Adrien promoting products like air in a bottle and NFTs and just generally so many products that are extremely poor taste/bad for the environment. Marinette tweets about beauty standards in the industry and all the shit Gabriel brand does to the environment and how Adrien Agreste perfectly encapsulates it all.

Adrien, of course, never responds to any of her tweets. her tweets are just white noise in the background. she is nowhere near on his level. one day Marinette tweets out something akin to "if I saw Adrien Agreste irl i'd punch him in the face" and her twitter gets banned for Threats of Violence, Alya draws attention to the injustice of it via the Ladyblog and suddenly "I want to punch Adrien Agreste in the face [gets banned]" becomes a bit of a meme. NOW people know who Marinette is and are listening to what she's saying (on her new account or whatever). Chat Noir also tweets that he wants to punch Adrien in the face

A hashtag trends. Marinette caves and starts tweeting about the scandals of the industry on her Ladybug twitter too. Adrien's twitter and instagram comments are flooded with both threats to punch him but also just generally critical comments like "nice pic and all but are you not going to address the sweatshop allegations?". Adrien still does not address it. At most he turns comments off. Marinette is gnawing at the wood of her desk.

Then a Ladybug and Chat Noir identity reveal happens.

Marinette is stunned. Absolutely mouth agape. Cannot form words. Chat Noi— NO, ADRIEN— ADRIEN FUCKING AGRESTE looks at her and is like "oh ha :) .... Marinette Dupain-Cheng, right? You're the girl who wanted to punch me hahaha"

after recovering from her world being shattered, she's like...... "hahaha...... um............... yeah...... uh..... so you... DO know who i am. and you're just. ignoring it then. hahaha... ok... thats....... fine..... anyway..... u-uh...... im not... gonna actually punch you. but. um. k-kitty do you um. maybe want to stop promoting deforestation and all that"

he's like "I don't"

she's like. "yes you do. literally in your newest ad you said to the camera 'who needs trees when bottled air is the way of the future'. like did you really read that line out loud and not see a problem with it"

"yeah, that wasn't me"

"what are you talking abou—"

"it's deepfaked"

"..... what"

"all of my ads in the past few years are deepfakes. I complained too much so my father fired me. turns out that i signed away all rights to my face and voice to him when I was 13 or something. he can just use my face and voice and name however he wants. he generates ads. i dont even have access to the 'Adrien Agreste' twitter or insta accounts. sometimes he makes me do runways but beyond that I'm not involved in all."

"... ... ... ... ... what"

"yeah haha... :") im sorry. i wish i could help you more. but he never listens to me. i don't like it either, i.... i've asked him to stop sooo many times. but he never listens to me. i hate seeing my face used without my consent but haha.... i don't... have any rights here so. sorry. i really wish i could help more"

and now marinette hates "Adrien Agreste"™ ads/posts EVEN MORE and is threatening to kill Gabriel Agreste himself. all while kissing the real adrien agreste silly

[rel312]

I forgot the Miraculous Awakening movie was supposed to come out so now I’m gonna ramble about it (spoilers!):

The jumpscare of hearing Marinette sing in a completely different voice took me off guard

I’m loving actually seeing gabriel as a fashion designer and what his stuff looks like

Chloe sounds… very much not like Chloe and it’s off putting (idk if it’s a different voice actor, I’m not looking it up)

“Think you an I were meant to be” I love Alya

Emilie? This clearly in the movie??

Was that Luka I just saw next to Juleka? At school???

The black cat on the book!

Adrien looks so pretty in that shot

Are… are Nino and Adrien already friends??

Gabriel’s hair

The loss of Emilie seems to be a lot more recent/present than in the series

Ohhh it’s her birthday

The lore is very interesting in this, we’re getting a lot more that wasn’t there in the show

So the miraculous have a choice in this for their holders I guess

Fu is so funny

The moon!

Was… was the black cat a coincidence? How did it get there? I don’t think it was Plagg so what was that??

So the first akumatized victim is not a child this time

There’s a ladybug too? I’m so confused

“Who saves a life saves the world” interesting that it’s more prophecy-like

I keep forgetting this is a musical

I love the beats of the theme song though

Is- is Tikki rapping???

No transformation sequence?

So she’s aware it’s a musical?

Is the yo-yo sentient???

No Adrien and Plagg intro scene?

Adrien is so funny he’s so excited to be a hero

Pretty different ladynoir dynamic, cat noir’ not immediately smitten

“A she-ro” please no

She called him Kitty!

CARELESS WHISPER???

Now he’s smitten

“Like a dream in a dream” Adrien you have to work on your lyrics

But the moon

Fart jokes? Really?

PTFAFS

Adrien going from she’s my side kick to she’s better than me in every way

Puss in boots

“I have nothing to lose” um your son??

Gabriel villain song kinda goes hard ngl

Is he making multiple villains? I’m so lost

Are they making Mr. Mime a real villain now? Not Mylene’s dad?

Also who is this pink haired lady?

“Dr. Love” Nino I love you but you’re so wrong

So Nino already has a crush on Alya and not Marinette

Aww Tom gets to hear Marinette call him the best

Only to immediately think she’s embarrassed by him

Nino losing his glasses on the ride is legit my biggest fear when going on rides

Transformation sequence!

Where did she actually transform though? She was just in the middle of the fair

They learned to work together fast

So I guess he doesn’t need to say the word cataclysm?

I love Ferris wheels rolling around scenes

Lmao Marinette really went I’ll save your life but you’re going in the dumpster

The timeline of this movie is very confusing, Nino is in love with Alya? But wasn’t it just the first day of school? Or was it just in the middle? When did Nino and Adrien meet? I have so many questions

Was the balloon thing a person? If not who created him and how?

THEME SONG!

Are we really getting all this adrienette development in a montage?? He told her about his mom, they went to the movies, they had a double date with Alya and Nino, and were barely getting it???

I love the glitter in Cat Noir’s mask

Ladynoir moment by the moon!

Marinette stood up to Chloe!

Adrien you cannot scare a person like that

The hearts in the balcony and the moon again!

I’m loving the visuals in this movie

“For the first time I feel truly free, it’s all thanks to you” my heart!

Ladynoir seems to be the main ship of the movie and I’m not mad about it

Oh my god their dance by the moon! I knew it was coming but I love it so much!

“How could I ever think she’d fall for me” Adrien stop she does love you she just doesn’t realize it’s you

Gabriel looks like shit and I’m glad to see it

I’m glad Adrien was able to stand up to him though

She actually managed to ask him out holy shit!

I mean I know it’s sad cause he rejected her but she actually managed to do it look at her!

I… did not think her shirt was a tank top this is so weird

Hawkmoth is akumatizing himself???

Careless Whisper again??? Are the writers ok??

Did they really need the takeout death?

The- the moth miraculous just… ate the ladybug miraculous???

I guess they don’t quite have cataclysm and lucky charm, their powers work a bit differently

Gabriel’s face at seeing Adrien, now you finally see what you’ve done you SOB

I’m glad they get to reconcile

So she can just… fix everything without a lucky charm??

Her dress is so pretty!

And she’s not wearing a mask!

The reveal in this is so interesting but pretty cute!

The way she took off his mask and put it on her was so freaking cute!

Really? Cut to the end right before the kiss??

So he does have Emilie in the basement?

Wait a minute I don’t think we ever got to see Chloe and Adrien interact in the movie lmao

The movie started a bit more cheesy and childish but overall they did a pretty good job of telling the story. The visuals were stunning, though the story was a bit rushed but they did a good job. There wasn’t quite enough time to develop the characters and their dynamics but they did the best they could with the time they had. The person who did Marinette’s singing voice was amazing, but I wish they found someone who sounded more like Marinette if they couldn’t use the same voice actress. The lore was a bit different but I kind of like it better than how much we started getting in later seasons, I just wish we got a bit more explanation on some things cause we don’t have the show to give us answers anymore. The only reason I feel like this ending with gabriel and Adrien works is because they didn’t have as much of an abusive relationship and he actually had a chance to redeem himself, but I’m glad he has to actually deal with the consequences. I know there are tons of fanfics about it but it’s so sad that while Marinette knew who Adrien was, he had no idea if he’d ever see Ladybug again but I’m glad that got resolved pretty quickly. I’m confused on what they want to do next cause they clearly were setting up for some kind of sequel but gabriel is already out as Hawkmoth and Nathalie only helped him during that time but I guess we’d just have to wait and see.

[aalissy]

Villains

Anddd we are officially halfway through Adrienette April! Absolutely crazy to me haha. I hope ya'll like this lil reveal tho <3!

AO3

Marinette glanced nervously around the small pink foam prison she had gotten encased in. One of the akumatized villains had managed to trap her in here before she could transform. Once again, she attempted to elbow her way out with all of her strength. If she was alone this would be no problem. She’d transform. Get whatever lucky charm was needed and magically pop her way out of this cage. 

But... issue was that she wasn’t alone. Her gaze slid over to Adrien as she continued to ram her elbow into the foam at a faster pace.

“Marinette!” Adrien called out, grabbing her arm gently in his as he gazed down at her sadly. He shook his head. “It’s not working and I don’t want to see you get hurt. We’re going to need to wait for Ladybug.”

She sighed, shooting one last desperate glance at their walls before slumping down against them. “Or Chat Noir,” she muttered, hugging her knees to her chest. Right now it was only going to be Chat Noir who was saving them. Ladybug was a little... occupied at the moment. Marinette couldn’t stop herself from fiddling with her earring. She placed her chin down on her knees, staring down at the floor miserably. “His cataclysm sounds really good right about now.” 

She heard Adrien sit across from her and peeked back up at him. He gave an almost awkward-sounding laugh that had her raising a brow. “Yeah, or Ladybug’s lucky charm.”

Marinette gnawed at her lower lip, not wanting to think about that right now. Surely Chat would save them sooner or later. She just needed to wait.

But, after an hour of waiting, Marinette was slowly losing any semblance of hope. Maybe Chat had gotten caught in a foam prison like her and he was also trapped with someone next to him. At least she was with Adrien. Who she would trust with her life.

Sucking in a deep breath for courage, Marinette spoke up at the same time as him. 

“I need to tell you something!” They both burst out together.

They both chuckled, their previously wide eyes softening into a look of endearment as they gazed at each other. 

“What, um...,” Marinette said, fiddling with her earrings once again. She’d take any distraction to keep her identity secret for just a few moments longer. “What did you need to tell me?”

 “Actually, it might be easier if I show you.” Adrien scratched the back of his neck.

“Show me wha-”

“Plagg, claws out!”

The burst of green light had Marinette clenching her eyes shut. What?! But... but that can’t be! Slowly, she cracked an eye open, and to her surprise and utter bafflement, instead of Adrien, there stood Chat Noir, transformed into his alter ego with the signature black suit and cat-like mask.

"A-Adrien?!" Marinette exclaimed, her eyes wide with shock and disbelief.

Adrien, now Chat Noir, grinned sheepishly. "I’m sorry, Marinette, but I couldn’t risk us staying in this cage for any longer. And, besides, I trust you."

Marinette's mind raced with a mixture of astonishment and pure joy. Adrien trusted her! Revealed his identity to her just moments before she was going to do the same thing. At the same time, though, she couldn’t help but wonder if she was lucky that both Ladybug and Chat Noir ended up stuck together, or if it was rather unlucky instead.

"You're Chat Noir?" Marinette's voice was filled with wonder as she took in the sight of her partner in a new light.

“Pawsitively!” He grinned and wow, he looked so good like that.

Shaking her head to keep herself on track, Marinette stood up too. “Then, I suppose it’s for the best that I show you what I wanted to say as well.”

His head tilted with confusion. “What do you me-”

Before he could finish that sentence, Marinette called on her transformation. “Tikki, spots on!”

Now it was Chat’s turn to look incredulous. “M-M’lady?” he asked almost hesitantly.

“Yep!” She nodded firmly. “But we’ll have to discuss this later. Right now there’s an akuma to defeat and we need your cataclysm to get out of here.”

“Right!” Chat’s eyes blazed with determination before he called on his power, finally letting the two be free for the first time in over an hour.

Though right now all she wanted to do was freak out, that would need to come later. Once the akuma was defeated then... then she and Adrien could finally talk about everything that they needed.

[literaphobe]

I’ve seen a lot of gender swapped mlb stuff where either one or both of their genders are swapped. How do you think any of those variations would change the love square dynamic or the characters in general, if they would change it all?

GONNA TALK ABOUT WLW LOVE SQUARE. other variations will be elaborated on if u come back and ask my sweet anonie <3

adrienette: i feel like fem adrien would give marinette so many more demons. i could go more in depth about my visions but ifl it would be really funny to see alya try and convince marinette that girl adrien TOTALLY likes her like its SO obvious and marinette is like IT DOESNT MEAN ANYTHING ALYA SHES NICE TO EVERYONE!! plus we dont even know if adrien likes girls!! and adrien walks by only overhearing the last sentence and is like oh! i do like girls :) and then after marinette’s recovered from her heart attack the new meta becomes OKAY BUT WE DONT KNOW IF SHES ATTRACTED TO GIRLS. MAYBE SHE JUST THINKS GIRLS R REALLY FUCKING COOL!! the next day the papers announce that girl adrien is in love w ladybug

ladynoir: chat noir has got the biggest crush on ladybug like she is so seriously gay like if she didnt already know she was gay if she was the most repressed gay girlie in this gay girlie world she would know what she was with ONE look at ladybug. ladybug has no fucking idea chat noir is in love with her. she thinks they are best friends. no one understands this life other than Her. one time some sleazy guy hit on chat and ladybug beat the shit out of him. he just so happened to be akumatized but she was so pissed off and violent about it. the dating rumors and the media are the same about it. aka incredibly invasive and ladybug is just as pissed off that they think they are dating. she gets so aggressive about it to the point where chat noir asks her what she thinks about the lgbt+ community. and chat is like im sorry like im a wlw and if u dont like gay ppl thats okay i just– and then ladybug like kisses her and is like im gay too u idiot its just weird of the media to speculate so harshly and then chat is just like FROZEN and ladybug freaks out shes like IM SO SORRY I SHOULDNT HAVE LIKE I MEAN I SHOULDVE ASKED and chat is like NO ITS OK UVE KISSED ME BEFORE ANYWAY and ladybug is like THATS DIFFERENT I HAD NO CHOICE BUT HERE– and then chat kisses her to calm her down (and shut her up) and pretty much just even the scales in terms of initiated kisses. when news about girl adrien x ladybug breaks out ladybug is like ???!!!!!!!! and chat is like um do u hate that she likes u i mean the news probably waaaayyyy exaggerated what they interrogated out of her and like um so overstretched it probably haha what do u think of blonde models and um adrien i guess like do u hate her do u think shes cool do u think you could fall madly in love with her and spend all your days together

ladrien: ladybug saves girl adriens life and shes like oh thank you ladybug… ur so wonderful 😍 like so clearly into her but ladybug is dense af and also nervous af she doesnt even believe the rumors!! shes like ur welcome girl adrien haha um yeah so um i saw the news but dont worry!!!! i know how the news exaggerates all the time like they always call me and girl chat noir a couple even tho we are not!! and adrien is like oh so like… ud never date chat noir? and ladybug is like uh… we are… friends and partners. do you.. want me to date chat noir? So the news really got it all wrong and you dont like me at all? and adrien is like I DO LIKE YOU… UM WHO WOULDN’T LIKE YOU? <- she has no idea how to save this bc she wants to date ladybug but doesnt know which identity to chase her with best and she thinks ladybug might not like EITHER of her identities so shes like confused at shit but also she very easily gets her hopes up and shes like maybe i should tell her???

marichat: ifl the events of glaciator will always be so inevitable for marichat. like marinette will always look so inviting on that balcony of hers staring off wistfully into the evening air and chat noir will always feel drawn to it when ladybug is nowhere to be found… what would be fun about wlw marichat guys

[ivydoesart]

Transmission was so unrealisticically funny so, here’s my take with some over-dramatisation ;)

-This is how my brain perceived it with some lovely vee headcannony touches.-

Also as someone who’s very much Neurodivergent and was too urged to not do it.

Marinette: I don’t love you and I never will again bye

Adrien: sobs

Tikki & Plagg: giv miraclus bac hav luv! 💞💕💖💗

(They’re actually adrienettes biggest supporters. Prove me wrong.)

Adrien & Marinette: sobs more

Meanwhile Plagg and Tikki are flying around Paris in broad daylight without been seen somehow.

Adrien: Marinette!

Marinette: okay I do actually love you let’s go get our hamster now

Whoops no hamster akuma time!

Adrien: *wow these new superhero’s are better than me and ladybug omg*

Both casually watching from a balcony in plain sight, like they won’t get crushed.

Damn. Every surrounding building but theirs gets crushed.

-5 mins later-

Marinette: guess it’s time for you to leave lol!

Adrien: so I’ll see you tomorrow at school? (Rizz x100)

Marinette: um yea 😁😁😁😁

Adrien: bye 😃☺️👋

Marinette: bye.

*starts talking to walls cos no kwamis*

The end.

He's Perfect (Fanfiction) 1 of 3

I wrote this fic a while back, but it's blossomed into a sequel, and an AU in my brain now. I call it my 'gothic' AU, because it's ML marinated in victorian/Gothic Horror, though set in modern times. I'm just posting this first one shot to maybe draw eyes. (Yes I'm shallow and need validation) The AO3 link also gives a more comprehensive tags/warnings list for people. (and somewhere to add kudos!)

This fic is Adrienette! Yay! Everyone loves Adrienette... and what could possibly go wrong?

Part 1

Marinette pushed the intercom button nervously.  She'd delivered to many places before, but the Agreste mansion was one of the creepiest she'd ever seen.

A harsh female voice came crackling over the intercom. "You are late."

"Sorry.  We had a lot of orders today. I had to make two trips."

"Do not be late again.  Up the stairs, to the door on the right."

Marinette balked. "Normally we deliver to the front door."

"You were late."

That was hard to argue with.  "Okay."

"Make the delivery and leave. Do not dawdle."

The gates buzzed, and Marinette pushed them open.  She found the door unlocked when she tried it, the thick wooden barrier swinging silently upon well oiled hinges.  Inside was pristine white marble with sharp black accents.  Marinette felt as if the emptiness of the atrium might swallow her up.  She trotted up the broad steps and turned right.  There was only a single door along the balcony.  Marinette straightened her jacket and gave the bag she carried a little shake… Ack, why did I do that? You don't 'straighten' a bag of pastries.  With one last glance behind her to shake the feeling of being watched, Marinette knocked.

From the voice on the intercom she had expected a middle aged woman, so when a beautiful blond boy her own age answered, Marinette stared. His sparkling emerald eyes matched his smile, with only a red mark from the corner of his jaw to his ear blemishing an otherwise cherubic face.

"Hello there, miss…?"

"Croissant.  I brought you the Marinettes you ordered."

His smile grew even more dazzling, and his eyes flashed with mirth.  He tilted his head in response before answering. "Ah! Marinette!  Thank you.  I hope I like these.  You're much nicer than the last delivery person."

Unwelcome, the voice on the intercom sprang into Marinette's memory. Do not dawdle.  Was ogling a type of dawdle? Marinette thrust the bag to the boy.  "ItsbeenverynicetomeetyouSir. Wehopetoserveyouagain."

He took the bag, but his eyes stayed on her.  "Thank you, I hope so too."

He stepped back and closed the door,. At the last moment, he stopped it and whispered through the crack. "I’m Adrien."

—-----

The order was back in again in two days.  This time Marinette took extra time to brush her teeth to gleaming and double checked that not a hair was out of place before heading out early to make the deliveries.  There was no greeting this time when she rang for entry, only the buzz of the gate unlocking.

"Hi Marinette!" Adrien greeted her, opening the door almost in time with her knock.

Suddenly Marinette doubted all her preprarations.  She felt ogrish and ugly under that soft gaze.  "Hello Mr. Um—Adrien.  I've brought your order, sir!"

She thrust the bag at him, very nearly knocking him out.  A quick backstep and catching her hands saved him.  He carefully plucked the bag from her death grip and grinned as if it were some joke between them, not her nerves trying to ruin her.

"Thank you, please just call me Adrien.  My dad is sir."

While Marinette was still lost, memorizing that smile, Adrien leaned in past her outstretched hands.

"I ordered an extra one today. Would you like to share with me?"

Marinette lowered her hands, and her brain spun up into action. "The voice on the intercom said not to dawdle."

"Nathalie's down in the lab with Father.  We're the only ones up in the house right now."

His smile turned puckish, and Marinette couldn't have said no to it even if it weren't set in a perfect face.  It reminded her of Peluche on a good day. "I have a little time before school."

Adrien stepped aside, allowing her entry into his room.

He did most of the talking.  Adrien sat atop his desk in a stark white room with little decoration.  He offered her his chair as they dug into the order.  With croissant in hand, he gestured with each question, inexhaustible in his curiosity.  He had two questions for her every answer, and so much of it was about herself.

Marinette would normally have balked at so many personal questions, but his earnest innocence was disarming.  How long had she worked at the bakery? Could she bake? Did she go to school? What was her favorite subject? Could she speak any other languages? Was pink her favorite color? She answered between bites of a croissant she wasn’t even hungry for, and all too soon her phone beeped at her.

Marinette scrambled for it and sighed in disappointment.  “I have to go. I miss enough school as it is.”

She snapped her mouth shut. THAT was a little too much information, even for someone who appeared to be homeschooled.  As she stood, Adrien took out a watch from his pocket, old fashioned brass with a round face.  Somehow the anachronism just seemed to fit, and Marinette found herself smiling a different sort of smile, one that pinked her cheeks when she realized it was there.  He looked up and she quickly looked away, putting her phone away and willing her blush to leave.

Adrien asked softly, “Will you come again tomorrow if we order more?”

Her gaze shot back to him.  “Tomorrow? I—uh what—Yes.  I mean, I’m the only person who does the deliveries for the bakery, so whenever you order I’ll be here.”  Marinette flexed her biceps, then prayed she might spontaneously combust as she lowered them awkwardly.

Adrien’s smile was openly fond, without a hint of reserve or embarrassment. “I’d like that.  Would it be okay with you if I did?”

“I um—okay?  Yeah, sure.  I mean, I’m the delivery girl, my time is your time.  No—”

Marinette caught herself, an act of willpower.  She just had to think of her partner. How would she handle this?  Well, maybe not exactly the same, tone it down by about half.  Marinette clasped her hands behind herself and stood up tall.

“I’d like to come see you again.  You call, and I’ll be here.”

“Whew.”  Adrien grinned sheepishly.  “I was worried I’d asked wrong.”

As he spoke, he pushed a hand up through his bangs and Marinette caught sight of a red mark across his brow, at the hairline.  Only now it clicked that the other was gone from his cheek.  The spotted part of her mind filed it away with questions for later.  The civilian side merely shook her head with a reassuring smile of her own before they exchanged goodbyes and she was off to school.

—-----

It was a marvelous several days.  Marinette was up early so regularly that her mother asked her if something was wrong.  Each morning she made sure she was made up as good as if not better than the one before.  Sitting and talking with Adrien was a little slice of heaven, and she didn’t want to miss a moment of it.  She was even contemplating asking the class nightmare Chloé for any makeup tricks.  It might be worth the brief ridicule.

Marinette also considered telling her friends about Adrien, and about how talking with him made her feel.  They were simple, short conversations, but there was a connection there.  It wasn’t just the hot rush of a cute boy anymore.  She’d experienced that with other guys in the past.  Sitting with Adrien was like finding a part of herself she hadn’t known was missing.

As she walked to his home this time, Marinette was contemplating ways she might try to coax him out of his house.  The first suggestion had not gone over well.  His eyes had grown big and in a shocked voice he’d answered, “I can’t.  I couldn’t possibly leave the house now.  Father’s still not done fixing what’s wrong.  I can’t mess things up for him.”

Fixing what’s wrong.  What exactly was wrong?  Adrien’s mark had gone and she’d been glad, but then she’d noticed how his right hand twitched the whole day while he ate.  The day after the mark was back, this time on his left hand.  It didn’t look like bruising, just an innocuous birthmark, but why would it move?  She didn’t have answers.  Maybe Max might know.

Marinette rang for entry, and to her surprise the intercom crackled.  “You must be quick today.  He is tired.”  *buzz*

It was with trepidation that Marinette knocked on Adrien’s door.  He opened it after a pause, and his bright smile banished her worries, “Hello.”

Marinette rattled the bag slightly, shaking out the lingering worry.  “Hello, Adrien.  They said you were tired this morning, are you feeling okay?”

He blinked.  “I am?  I suppose Nathalie knows best. If I am tired, I should get some rest. Thank you for delivering my breakfast.”

He took the bag, and Marinette gave him a smile every bit as bright as his. “Happy as always, Adrien.  I’ll see you tomorrow.”

She turned to go, and he called after her.  His words brought back all her worry and then some.  “If you’re coming back, maybe you could tell me your name?”

[monpetitchattriste]

Um....... I am ladynoir trash. But I love all sides. I have a little beef with Marichat but only because I feel like sometimes the people who ship it super hard forget that Chat is also Adrien. But I still love them. But it I had to rank them it would be

Ladynoir

Adrienette

Ladrien

Marichat

hey ( we’re now friends ) i gotta ask something : am i the only one who can’t get over chat noir? 😩

Yay! I love new friends.

I fucking love Chat noir.

Who doesn't love a face like his.

[gelljc]

some random love square stuff i never posted

[jennagrinsoverml]

hey!! i love your rec lists and my absolute weakness is fics where adrienette or ladynoir is dating pre-reveal and then the identity reveal happens. do you have any good recs for that trope? thank you!!

I've already recced established ladynoir (posted after this ask came through), so this one will be just adrienette 😊

No Excuses by @overworkedunderwhelmed​

Even after Marinette and Adrien finally start dating, they still had to be ready to leap apart at a moment’s notice to save Paris.

Of course, finding the right excuse can be all that much harder when the one you love knows you all too well.

One-shot. Just because Adrienette are together, doesn’t mean that the complications with dating as a superhero suddenly disappear. I love them making excuses to each other and taking off. It’s certainly convenient, as Tikki notes. But, of course, something’s gotta give eventually...

Cards on the Table by @sariahsue​

After six months of dating, Adrien decides it's time to tell Marinette his biggest secret. And he knows her so well he can accurately predict her reaction... right?

One-shot. I love Adrien being so sure he knows his girlfriend so well and being utterly flummoxed when Marinette reacts completely unexpectedly to him revealing that he’s Chat Noir! She’s not impressed at all! I laughed so hard. One of my favourite reveals.

Ma Douce Souffrance by CelestialTitania

“I know who Hawkmoth is,” Chat laughed bitterly.

“That’s great news!" Ladybug cheered, before faltering. "Oh. Um, why isn't this great news?"

"Because...because it's my father-in-law," Chat choked out, succumbing to a fresh wave of sobs.

One-shot. This sounds like crack, but it isn’t. (Although it’s still very funny!) Adrienette are married and still in the dark about each other’s alter egos. But that’s going to have to change now that they have a lead on Hawkmoth...

Communication in the Bag (But the Chat's Not Out of it Yet) by @coffeebanana​

Marinette and Adrien are happily married, aside from being a little sleep deprived dealing with baby Emma, that is. But there's one thing they neglected to share with each other...their secret crime-fighting lives. At least until a family photoshoot brings about some...unexpected revelations.

Just another Miraculous Ladybug identity reveal fic because I apparently never get tired of writing these.

One-shot. Technically not what you asked for since they’re married, not dating. But I love this fic for just being fun and silly. And these two are just so stupid and I love that for them.

The following fic is amazing and absolutely worth reading, but does have some sexual content, so minors beware.

The Pole Kit and Kaboodle by @chatonne-rousse

When Adrien tries to make getting undressed a bit more entertaining for Marinette, he ends up revealing more than just his underwear.

One-shot. Rated M. Established adrienette that features them being sexy and silly and hopelessly in love. I love this fic so damn much!!! Watch Adrien being comfortable being ridiculous with Marinette and do a ridiculous (hilarious) striptease for her. Bonus identity reveal that just makes everything even better.

The Moment by MiraculouslyMundane

When was the right moment to tell your superhero partner(platonic) that you've actually been dating for months? Theoretically speaking.

When Adrien and Marinette start dating, Adrien also starts noticing a lot of strange similarities between his superhero partner and his new romantic one. As the months stretch on, the coincidences become harder to ignore.

One-shot. Rated M. This has adrienette getting together and slowly putting together the pieces, leading to an incredibly intimate, beautiful reveal that I absolutely loved.

In the Rain

A lil bit of reverse crush Adrienette for this chapter hehehe. Simply because I just could not resist ;). I hope you like it <3. Lemme know what you think!

AO3

Marinette fell in love with Adrien in the rain. He showed her kindness, his bright, soft smile warming her heart even in the midst of the torrential downpour. Their fingers had brushed as he handed her the umbrella and she felt the wonderful sensation of shivers rush up her spine. And, at that first crack of thunder as the umbrella collapsed over her head and she heard the joyful sound of his laughter, she knew he was it. That she was head over heels.

 He had left, giving her one last chuckle and a promise of tomorrow before he headed inside the car that awaited him. Marinette had been a blushing, stammering mess which had never happened to her before. 

But, honestly, it made sense. Only Adrien would have been able to make her fall for him like this. No one else ever could.

Or so she had thought. Because Marinette also realized she had fallen out of love with him in the rain. 

As the clap of thunder sounded once more, even she was unable to discern the difference between the rain and the tears on her cheeks. At that moment, she realized that it was Chat Noir, her partner, who she should have been focusing her feelings and affection on. He had stuck by her through everything. And, honestly, it seemed silly that it had taken her so long to realize this. If only she could have recognized the love in her heart sooner.

With that thought, Marinette trudged home in the rain, hoping against all hopes that she hadn’t completely destroyed all of her chances. She never should have wasted all of her feelings on a boy who so clearly loved someone else.

So when she got ready for school the next day, her mind was still swirling from her realization yesterday. She had spent so much time loving Adrien that it felt almost dizzying for her to realize that she also loved Chat Noir.

So lost in her thoughts, Marinette didn’t realize that she had bumped into someone walking up the steps to school until after she had already crashed onto the ground. 

“Sorry!” she winced, clutching her aching head. “I wasn’t looking where I was going!”

Blinking in surprise, wide blue eyes met a pair of bright, emerald green ones. Adrien grabbed onto her hand, holding it softly as he helped pick her up. Marinette had to forcibly shove the butterflies down at the sensation. 

No!

It was too late now.

“It was my fault, actually.” Adrien smiled, scratching the back of his neck. He glanced away from her. “You looked distracted but I still blocked your path because I wanted to talk to you.”

“You wanted to talk to me?” She frowned, her brow creasing.

“Mhm,” he hummed with a nod. “I wanted to make certain that you got home safe after that rainstorm last night. You’re not sick at all, are you?”

Adrien leaned into her, placing his hand over her forehead as though checking for fever. 

Too close! Too close!  

With her mind screaming at her, Marinette’s cheeks immediately turned a bright red and she scrambled back away from him.

Rapidly, she shook her head, waving her hands in front of her. “I-I’m fine! Really!”

Running a hand through her hair, she avoided his gaze and stepped around him quickly. “So fine in fact that I’m going to head to class now. Yep! See you there!”

Quickly, Marinette walked around Adrien, breathing a sigh of relief at the much-needed distance. The space didn’t stay for long though because in just a moment he was next to her, walking at the same pace. 

"I’m glad you’re alright," Adrien spoke softly. “I was worried about you walking home in that storm.” His tone was gentle and caring and she couldn’t help but flutter her eyes closed at the sound. Why did he have to confuse her like this? 

Marinette forced a smile, her mind racing to find the right words. "It, um, takes a little more than rain to knock me out."

She laughed awkwardly but Adrien didn’t seem to notice. Instead, he nodded, a thoughtful look in his eyes. "Still, I think I’d feel better if I knew you weren’t out walking alone. Maybe the next time we’re out together, I could drive you home? Does that sound alright?"

Her breath hitched and she snuck a quick glance over at the boy next to her. He was smiling, his eyes lit up with so much hope that she just... couldn’t. Clenching her eyes shut, Marinette gave a simple nod. “S-Sure. But only if it helps make you feel better.”

He positively beamed at her then, and she felt her heart give the familiar tug that only Adrien seemed to bring about. He took her hand in his, giving it a quick squeeze. “Sounds like a plan!” he said cheerily. 

Before Marinette even had the time to freak out that Adrien had just held her hand, they had reached their classroom’s door. He held it open for her with a soft grin. Marinette couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness at the situation. Adrien was everything she had once wanted, but now her heart belonged to someone else. Why now did it seem like he wanted her the way she had once wanted him?

As they entered the classroom together, Marinette couldn't shake off the feeling of longing and confusion. She was in love with Chat Noir. That was obvious now. So then why did she also still have these feelings for Adrien as well? 

With a quiet sigh, she walked up to her desk. Right now, at least, she didn’t have to think about the madness of her feelings. It was time for class and she could at least focus on her schoolwork now. Sliding into her seat and taking out her journal to take down notes, Marinette completely missed the longing look Adrien sent her way as he took his own seat.

[fortuna-et-cataclysmos]

So um, anyway, here is the fic:

Ten Second to Midnight

Shadow Moth has won. Minutes before he destroys the world, still unaware of each other's identities, Marinette and Adrien bid farewell to their partner.

Me: *has nuclear annihilation anxiety*

Me: *writes a fic about it*

[literaphobe]

i didnt realise there are ppl saying marinette's lack of proficiency in chinese is unrealistic?? im also in that situation with chinese dialects as well, my parents didnt teach me the dialects that they speak while growing up. i dont understand a single thing spoken by my relatives unless my parents translate it for me

i saw a post in the tag KFKSKDKS it had like 35 notes and i was like um yeahhhhh this is so weird and also ive seen takes like that in general on random social media sites before i guess adrienette’s mandarin lesson in action stirred animosity again frjsnsnsndndn like i learnt chinese in school bc it was part of our education system but my parents deliberately spoke to me in english most of the time to give me a competitive edge because english was the language of instruction in school and english is a compulsory first language for people who are born here. and they definitely didnt bother teaching me any dialects lmao. AND my society is 70% chinese people. IM NOT EVEN A MINORITY OF MY RACE AND I COULD’VE EASILY SUCKED AT CHINESE. there are people here who do. it just happens sometimes w biligualism. not everyone is meant to be good at multiple languages, sometimes people lose touch w their native language, blah blah blah. and i kind of get annoyed when white people are mad that marinette isn’t ‘chinese’ enough for them. like there are so many ways to represent people of chinese heritage. it would be fun if she were fluent in mandarin or some other chinese dialect! but she’s not. and that’s not a moral failing
