No Miraculous, no classmates AU where Adrien in his 20s has been dating Chloé for 3 years. He's got no support network, no real friends, and he has nothing, really, to look forward to. Just another 60 years of Chloé and living a life that someone else chose for him. He can see himself turning into André Bourgeois and doesn't see any way out of it.
Then he starts speaking to one of the newer designers who's kind of cute and she honestly makes him almost feel good about himself to the point where she's the only thing that actually makes him want to get out of bed, but he can't go there because he and Chloé are engaged until Marinette finally asks him why, exactly, he chose to marry her, why is he living a life for someone else, and suddenly he finds he's quit his job, publicly dumped his fiancée, and started spending all his time at Marinette's parents' bakery
And he's finally something he never thought he would get to be--happy.
@rimeah an alternate take on your prompt. an emo take. one might say, a paris special take
Prompt: makeover
“And… there!” Marinette proudly flourished her eyeliner pencil, finishing the makeover. “Think it’ll piss your dad off?”
Adrien’s voice was small. “If he even notices me.”
“What?”
Adrien seemed to curl in on himself. “I don’t think he gets me,” he sighed. “He tries, I think, but it’s like he sees right through me. I’m a ghost.”
As much as she wished they’d leave her alone sometimes, Marinette could never imagine thinking that about her parents. She placed her hand on his shoulder, squeezing.
“I see you,” she said sincerely.
His hand covered hers, squeezing back. “Thank you. I know.”
this was an exceptionally fun project for an exceptionally beautiful work. if you haven’t read metamorphosis yet i truly don’t know what else i can do to convince you. thank you @peachcitt for going insane with me every tuesday night all summer and for the constant stream of suggestions for how to make these covers More Devastating, Somehow. metamorphosis summer may be over but i will never be normal again <3
It's here! Our amazing project is brought to life!
It was supposed to be released a few months ago, but due to war in my country Ukraine I had to postpone it.. Thankfully, all the artists were patient and understanding, I love them so much❤️
I'm so happy I decided to host this Multi Animator Project, every artist here is SO talented like WOAH! The result speaks for itself, enjoy ;)

“I like being a girl.”
“That’s the alcohol talking,” Marinette snorted.
“I’ve always been a li’l jealous,” Adrien admitted.
“... Of what?”
“That you get to be a girl,” Adrien murmured, “and I don’t.”
—
When Marinette and Adrien host Girls' Night at their apartment, Adrien is easily welcomed to attend as "one of the girls"... but has a bit too much to drink. Some drunken confessions are spilt, some assumptions are made, and most of all...
Adrien is confused.
So, um. Remember that art of Adrien in a dress I drew back in May? Surprise! I actually drew that because of this fic I was writing. I realized I should probably post it before pride ends.
