Just (More Than) Friends -marichatinettes
"Truth or dare?" Nino asked him, waggling his eyebrows suggestively at his friend.
The question was a dangerous one, that was something he knew for sure, but he was the one who got himself in this mess in the first place. Adrien was the one who had chosen to come to Kim's party and have fun and... sit in this circle that he hadn't realized involved spilling your secrets or doing some crazy action that would surely embarrass you.
He mulled over his options. He didn't really have anything to hide, so he went with the safe choice.
"Truth," he replied with a smirk.
"If you had to sleep with one girl in this room, who would it be?"
Remember That Time When... - mostbelovedgirl
Twenty-two-year-old Marinette Agreste was looking forward to the anniversary trip she would be taking with her husband Adrien that weekend. Those plans are derailed when she wakes up in her old bedroom... and she’s seventeen again.
Every Time We Touch - CrypticCravings (Sekaiinokoi)
Marinette couldn’t picture her parents skin without soul marks on them. Whenever they kissed or touched, her father would leave a trail of light blue on her mother’s skin, and her mom’s touch would leave streaks of red on her father. She would watch in awe as her mom drew patterns on her father’s arms, and her dad kissed strategic patterns on her mom’s skin. They reveled in each other’s touch, making Marinette eager to find her own soulmate from a young age.
don't ask questions you don't wanna know - MiaBrown
Chat Noir’s plan of asking out his classmate, only so the girl could turn him down and offer to be ‘just friends’ instead was ridiculous. Too bad there wasn’t a sensible girl who would have rejected him.
Ladybug was so sure of this, she dared to bet on it. And when the next day Adrien Agreste asked the same question from Marinette… Well, she wasn’t trying to prove herself wrong.
*** aka Plagg schemes, Adrien panics, and Marinette is being a little shit about it
Spring Fever - PerditaAlottachocolate
Spring gets to Adrien in a very peculiar way. Not only he's suddenly sure, without even a shadow of a doubt, that Marinette is the love of his life, but he also can't keep away from her. Quite literally. And then there's this mysterious fever burning within him. Plagg knows the cure but will Adrien have the guts to reach for it?
It came out of nowhere. Or maybe he just didn’t see it coming. If someone told him he’d have a revelation in the fruit trees lane he’d probably laugh out loud. Well, the laugh was on him. She’s just a friend, just a friend, he kept telling himself as his heart begged to differ. Only it was no longer his.
Adrinette April 2019 story.
you and me could write a (bad) romance - AlexSeanchai
Adrien rubbed the back of his neck and didn't meet her eyes. "Sooo I kind of had a fight with my father. The part where the art room social scene comes in is, I told him I'm done modeling for anything but romance novel covers. And he doesn't believe me."
"…Romance novel covers," Marinette repeated slowly, imagination filling with Adrien in a charcoal suit waltzing with a woman in a crimson silk gown. Adrien in a pirate ship's crow's nest, poet shirt open to show his defined pecs and abs, with the black-and-red-garbed pirate queen. Adrien, blue-jeaned and shirtless and wielding a broadsword, with—
"The thing is—and this," Marc added, "is the part where Loverboy is getting all flustered—the thing is, romance novels, as a general rule, have two protagonists."
"Both of whom," continued Nathaniel while eyeing Marinette, "ought to be on the cover. Otherwise readers will get confused about the genre."
"Subtle," said Marinette. "Adjective. Antonyms include Marc and Nathaniel."
Falling for the Dork - TheNovelArtist
What’s a girl supposed to do when she realizes that her total dork of a friend is actually a perfect 10?
Be Mine, Anytime - Ephemeral_Joy
In which Adrien and Marinette keep their relationship a secret and sneak around. People know something is off but everyone kind of dismisses the possibility because it's Adrien and Marinette ffs.
Love You Like A Love Song - Dqawesomeness
As Marinette tries to deal with the burden of guardianship, she pushes everyone that cares about her away.
Adrien is determined to help Marinette and have her know that she's not alone.
He noticed how much quieter she's become, he noticed how her beautiful bluebell eyes were dull, he noticed the bags under them and he noticed how every time someone requests to hang out with her, she makes up a flimsy excuse and runs off. How is he supposed to help her if Marinette is avoiding him?
And what happens if they both get hit by an Akuma that shows your biggest regret?
Or, 30 connected ficlets for Adrinette April following the tumblr prompts.
April Weather - PerditaAlottachocolate
April weather - rain and sunshine both together. Thanks to Adrien’s overeager fans everyone in Paris now believes Marinette is his girlfriend. It seems like nothing can be done, so the teens decide to continue with the charade and start fake dating. They’re just good friends having fun, right? What could possibly go wrong? A connected story for Adrinette April 2018.
