One common theme is the 'slow burn'. It shows Adrien gradually realizing his feelings for Marinette over time, through shared experiences like working on a school project together. Another theme could be the 'jealousy' aspect, where Adrien gets jealous of other guys who are around Marinette. This can add an interesting dynamic to the story as he starts to figure out why he feels that way. Also, the 'secret identity' theme often plays a part. Since Marinette is Ladybug and Adrien is Chat Noir in the original show, sometimes in the fanfic, Adrien's realization of his feelings for Marinette is intertwined with his relationship with Ladybug, which creates a complex and exciting plot.
His confidence might change. Usually, Adrien is quite confident as Chat Noir but a bit more reserved as himself. When he realizes he likes Marinette, he could become more self - conscious around her. For example, he might worry more about how he looks or what he says. His priorities also shift. Instead of just focusing on his modelling or other activities, Marinette becomes more important in his thoughts. This can lead to him making different choices, like choosing to spend time with her over other things.
One popular 'Adrien likes Marinette' fanfiction is 'The Hidden Feelings'. It beautifully explores Adrien's growing affection for Marinette in a school setting. Another great one could be 'Adrien's Discovery', where he gradually realizes his true feelings for her through various encounters. There's also 'Marinette in Adrien's Heart' which focuses on how his feelings for her start to change his perspective on their relationship.
People write 'Adrien likes Marinette' fanfictions because they love the dynamic between the two characters. It's exciting to explore the possibilities of their relationship that might not be fully explored in the original work.
One possible plot could be a story where Adrien is suddenly thrust into Marinette's world in an unexpected way. Maybe a magical mishap causes him to swap lives with her for a day. He'd then have to deal with her daily routines, like her family's bakery, her school projects, and her friendships. This would give him a whole new perspective on Marinette and might even lead to some self - discovery for him.
The main appeal is the relationship between Adrien and Marinette. Their dynamic is both cute and complex. Marinette has a huge crush on Adrien but is often too shy to act on it, while Adrien is somewhat oblivious yet has a special connection with Marinette. This creates a lot of tension and anticipation in the fanfic.
One great 'Marinette x Adrien Reveal Fanfic' is 'The Unveiling of Hearts'. It beautifully captures the moment when they finally reveal their identities to each other. The emotions are raw and the way their relationship progresses after the reveal is very heartwarming.
Adrien could be so amazed that he freezes for a moment. Then, he might compliment Marinette on her singing. This could lead to a deeper conversation between them, as he asks her about why she was singing and if she has any other hidden talents.
After getting married, they would become more open and trusting with each other. Since they know each other's identities as Ladybug and Chat Noir, there would be no more secrets between them. Their relationship would be more stable and they would support each other even more in their daily lives and superhero duties.
Another reaction could be that Marinette pretends to cooperate with Adrien at first. By doing this, she can buy time and look for an opportunity to escape or get help. She might act as if she is okay with what is happening while secretly planning her next move, like leaving a clue for someone to find her or finding a way to disable Adrien temporarily.
