“Miraculous! Adrinette where Marinette is an upperclassman.
Her main interaction with Adrien is at her parent’s shop, where he always grabs
something during lunch break. She’s still a hot mess around him, and he’s still
a complete flirt with Ladybug. Go.” For @littlestartopaz , on the AU meme.
C’mon now, we’ve all basically agreed that I’ve co-opted this
meme as an excuse to get AU prompts and write a lot on every single one of
them. So Marinette is seventeen here and
Adrien is still a lonely fifteen-year-old kid who gets devoted to anyone who
seems like they care about his feelings.
There’s no regard whatsoever for the canon timeline here, we’re
pretending that they’re already working together by the time he starts public
school.
The
first time Adrien Agreste walks into her parents’ bakery, Marinette hides
behind the counter and hyperventilates for a solid minute while he looks
around. She stutters her way through
taking his order, and he gives her a small smile that genuinely makes her heart
stop a little. (She’s going to feel bad
about that later, once she knows how much it bothers him when people get fluttery
over him, but look, just look, he’s a
very handsome boy and she’s awkward, this is a matter of record, Alya has the
proof.)
And
then he actually sits at the counter and picks through his sandwich and talks
to her, and he’s nice and funny and wry, with a sweet self-deprecating
smile. Marinette can barely string a
sentence together, but he doesn’t make fun of her or question her and he seems
fine with pretending that she has no idea who he is. She might die, she might have a heart attack,
but what a way to go, that’s all she’s saying, under those bright green eyes.
Anonymous asked: a reveal fic in which adrien and someone (literally any someone, but marinette would probably be most likely to know) would take a picture and say cheese, and plagg comes zooming out. and adriens just like. PLAGG NOOOOOO
i see that you said fic. i acknowledge that you said fic. but holy shit.
I AM LITERALLY DYING OMFG SOMEONE MAKE THIS CANNON ALREADY!!!!
All Alya had been doing was taking a ridiculous amount of pictures of their small groups first ever double date. That’s it. She had been doing it all day, grabbing candid shots at the water park and the coffee shop and the walk to the park.
The moment they had found the perfect lighting, of course, Adrien had insisted he take a picture of her and Nino, since Alya had hardly gotten any, and the blogger agreed quickly, allowing Adrien to get several cutesy shots of her and Nino before demanding her phone back and situating Marinette and Adrien in the same spot.
Nino stood behind her, his chin on her shoulder while he watched her zoom in and out meticulously, Adrien and Marinette holding their pose and their smiles for nearly a minute before Nino finally poked the girl and told her to hurry up.
“Shut up, Nino,” Alya grumbled fondly, nudging Nino in the side. “Okay you two, say cheese!”
Oh no.
Adrien knew the moment the word spilled from her lips what was going to happen.
Sure enough, not a half second later, just as the flash went off, Plagg’s head popped up from behind him with a look of delight etched across his face.
“CHEESE?” he shrieked, slamming his paws down on Adrien’s shoulder and looking around frantically. “WHERE?”
Fuuuuuccckkk.
Plagg seemed to realize his mistake in a heartbeat, and his smile slowly dropped as he found Nino, Alya, and Marinette all staring at him.
“Uhhhh…hi?” the kwami offered sheepishly.
Adrien slapped his hand to his face hard enough for his skin to sting, and he groaned. “Plaaaaggggggg,” he whined. “Why would you do that?”
The cat threw his paws out helplessly. “There was cheese mentioned, Adrien! It’s my one weakness!”
“Adrien?” Nino managed to get out. “What the hell?”
Alya tilted her head, eyes locked on Plagg and mind working furiously. “It..kind of looks like Chat Noir,” she noted.
Adrien was about to try and deny that when a low, shrill sound started emerging from his right.
The trio turned to find Marinette staring at him, her eyes wide and her face sheet white. Her jaw was working as if she wanted to say something, but the only thing coming out of her mouth was that whine.
“Marinette?” Adrien said carefully, furrowing his eyebrows. “Are you okay?”
A garbled bunch of words that Adrien hadn’t heard from her since their first date stumbled out over her lips, hands flying and fingers pointing and arms waving.
Adrien carefully reached out, trying to ignore Plagg’s weight on his shoulder, and grasped Marinette’s hands in his own. “Marinette,” he said firmly.
She took a deep breath and flung a hand helplessly at Plagg. “You’re Chat Noir,” she got out.
Adrien felt the blood drain from his face and he glanced backwards at Alya and Nino, who were watching the two of them with slack jaws. “I…how…?”
Plagg shifted on his shoulder and sighed. “Sorry Adrien,” he mumbled. “Guess I kind of screwed that one up.”
“I’ll say!” Adrien snapped.
A sharp intake of breath made him glance back again to find Nino looking somewhat hurt and Alya looking awestruck. “You really are-?”
He interrupted the reporter quickly, clasping his hands in front of him desperately. “Yes, okay, but Alya you can’t tell anyone. You guys could get hurt if you do.”
Alya bit her lip in indecision, but Nino’s gentle hand on her shoulder made the girl nod, and Adrien breathed a sigh of relief before turning back to Marinette. “Mari,” he whispered, reaching a hand out. “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you, but-”
A sharp laugh spilled from Marinette’s lips and she started cackling like mad, leaning over and clutching her stomach to keep from dropping to the ground. Adrien just stared at her in disbelief, a confused expression on his face.
“Well,” Plagg murmured. “You broke her.”
Marinette struggled to get her breath back, waving a hand in the air and moving her other hand to her purse. “No…no it’s…pfffttt….this is….so stupid…”
Adrien frowned and twisted his hands together. “Stupid?” he repeated softly.
Marinette shook her head quickly and in one swift move had unclasped her purse, digging inside and yanking Tikki out. “Stupid,” she managed to laugh before finally hitting the sidewalk and snickering, leaving Tikki floating in the air in complete bewilderment.
“Tikki!” Plagg squealed, darting for the kwami and tackling her in a hug.
“Tikki?” Nino asked in confusion.
“Marinette!?” Alya yelped, throwing her arms out.
Adrien’s breath had pretty much escaped from his lungs as he stared down at Marinette, who had finally pulled herself together and was now watching him with a twinkle in her eyes.
Adrien: But if I'm Chat Noir and Chat Noir has a crush on Ladybug and Ladybug is actually Marinette and Marinette has a crush on me then that means…we actually have a crush on each other.
Plagg *sleepily*: She’s literally lying in bed beside you. You’re married. Go back to sleep.
hawkmoth is the kingpin of the notorious crime ring terrorizing paris under the name “Akuma”
organized crime is at an all time high, and no one feels safe anymore
surprise surprise, the police are useless
enter: marinette duapin cheng, sweet and cunning and tired of seeing her city being terrorized
so she obscures her identity, setting out into the night streets armed only with her wits, 7 years of aikido lessons, and the burning desire to clean up the streets
soon all the tabloids are talking about
a faceless heroine dubbed “the ladybug“ taking down muggers left and right around paris’ seedy underbelly
enter: adrien agreste, who’s inspired by the stories and tired of living his oppressively structured life
so he suits up as well, masking his recognizable face as he and his fencing sabers seek out the mysterious vigilante
he helps ladybug out of a tight spot, they team up
im talking infiltrating hideouts
im talking “cut off one head and two more take its place”
im talking red-x’d pictures and yarn stretched across a cork board
imagine the student in their class arguing. “well i think they should just leave it to the authorities!” chloe shouts. “yeah, like the cops could do anything without the help of Ladybug and Chat Noir,” Alya counters
half of paris loves the duo, and the other half want them off the streets for good
its basically netflix daredevil au at this point I KNOW
what she means:
in episode 10 of miraculous ladybug, heartbreaker doesn't just conjure feelings of hate out of thin air. he perverts existing feelings of love, so it stands to reason that the more someone cared for the person they loved, the more they would hate them once affected. couples were seen storming away from each other and alya and sabrina committed cruel but petty acts against their best friends but chat noir loves ladybug so much that after he'd been effected he tried to FUCKING DESTROY HER
Semi obbsessing over the idea of Adrien getting used to having friends like yeah hed be over eager at first and at school but like what about the stuff he never thought about like just simple shit like Nino texting him at 3 am like “do you think dogs are racist to other breeds of dogs would that be fucked up or what?” and adrien just sitting there like ???????????? And googling what he should do
no lie I really want to believe this is what they talk about
Adrien shows up to school with like 14 printed out articles on dog aggression towards other dogs and Nino is so fucking excited because he sent the same text to Alya and she only responded with “GO THE FUCK TO SLEEP”. Marinette is visibly upset for the rest of the day after learning about dog racism.
