Quantos anos Adrien tem?
Sabine also knows martial arts and Marinette does gymnastics canonically so I think they would both teach her how to fight
AU where Tom is basically Rocky Balboa but quit boxing after the events in the movies to live with his wife Sabine.
Maybe Roland didn’t agree with his drastic career change to a bakery. That makes their falling out much more plausible if you ask me.
Marinette has lots of hidden muscle that is defined by her suit - which would probably be more practical and have bandages around the hands and a headpiece. Tom would teach her boxing moves and how to deal heavy hits.
Ladybug absolutely floors Anansi, who hands over her akuma in respect (when seeing the boxing gloves her Lucky Charm gave she grinned). After, she offers Nora advice on boxing as Marinette, revealing who her father is.
The events in Weredad happen the same, except Chat Noir is much more beaten up and exhausted from the fight they have. At the end of the episode, he learns who her father is and gulps.
Tom gives Adrien lessons whenever he can because he cannot stand seeing the boy so skinny. Sabine just watches in the background, muttering something about a ‘Creed’.
Lila’s plot to expel Marinette absolutely fails because the fact that she didn’t get a concussion (or at the very least a broken bone) from a push from the daughter of a boxer made her tale hard to believe. Kim can contest since he got quite the injury in an arm wrestle with her years ago. Tom refuses to believe Lila since he taught his little girl how to do so much more damage to her opponents.
That day is the day that Lila reconsiders ruining Marinette’s life.
Chat Noir is much more flustered around Ladybug, and has to stop himself many times from asking her to fling him across the horizon. The Ladyblog catches his blushing and gets many comments about how many would be too in his situation. Marinette turns red when Alya shows her them.
One last detail I want to add to this AU is that Marinette has shorter hair for her convenience. I’m thinking it’s in a long bob, similar to Kagami’s, but it reaches no farther down than her shoulders.
Kagami also respects her for her fighting skills. Tomoe allows them to hang out together when learning of her heritage and parents.
Maybe this could lead to Adrien x Marinette x Kagami?
Sabine: We're having a baby
Adrien: Oh, congratu-
Sabine: * slamming adoption papers onto the tabel*
Tom: It's you, sign here, please
In your la chata au i feel like Tom would be like one of those dads that at first is a bit sceptical about having a cat but then absolutely ADORES it. So he takes cute pictures of Adrien which he shows to all the customers and cuddles him while watching TV or something. Adrien loves it of course bc Dad Time™.
Just Tom and Adrien bonding and my boy feeling so loved by the Dupain-Chengs ❤️
YEAH I want him to have a good dad!! Its all I want.
Wow, this is much better consequences than I imagined. And it only took an almost suicide....🔨⚒️📐📏🖇️
Daminette December 2023: 29-Disappointment
Marinette watched in disappointment as everything about Françoise Dupont was revealed. She thought she would feel justified, feel happy. Instead, she felt nothing. Caline Bustier had been fired in the middle of class. Lila had been arrested. They didn't tell the class anything; they just told them their parents were there and they had to speak to them before they left. Even their parents seemed confused.
Adrien stood with Natalie in a line. Everyone was spaced out. They had all been told that the students weren't allowed to talk to each other and if a pone was seen, it would go straight into police custody. Adrien looked behind him to see Marinette leaning against her father's large frame and her mother stroking her hair.
Once they were led into a room, they were all let out through a different direction to make sure there wasn't anything yelled out. When it was Adrien's turn, they quickly learned this was mostly about Lila Rossi. Natalie began to ask questions of her own, as they had hired her. At the end of the session, they were told to head straight home. No one was allowed to stick around on campus. As they got in the car, Adrien asked if they could stick around.
"No. The officer said we should head straight home, Adrien." Natalie stated.
"Please. I just want to talk to one person." Adrien spoke, " They were behind us in line so they should be coming out soon."
"We will wait ten minutes and not a second more." she declared, "If an officer tells us to leave before the time is up, we will leave."
"Yes, Natalie. Thank you." the model, smiled.
Just before the time was up, Marinette and her parents walked out of the school. Adrien perked up and unbuckled his seatbelt. As he reached for the car door, another car showed up. A guy he had never seen before, quickly walked out of the car and hugged Marinette. He watched as the guy kissed her head before turning to Tom and Sabine. He could barely make out what was being said.
"Let's go, Angel." he said, "Tom and Sabine said I was to take you away for a few days. How are you feeling?"
"Disappointed. I feel nothing." she answered, causing her parents to tear up.
"Where will you go?" he asked her parents.
"We will be closing the bakery for a week." Tom replied, "We'll be with some family memebers."
"I've already gathered her things." he spoke.
"Thank you, Damian." Sabine smiled.
Damian took ahold of Marinette's hand and led her to his car. It didn't take long for them to drive away.
"Adrien." Natalie called out.
"Uh, we-we can go." he whispered, "I'm sorry for wasting your time. I can ask at a later date."
The school was declared closed for a week. No one still knew what was going on until Tvi did a special on their school. It was under investigation. Their principal couldn't show specific footage to the school board or police. He was arrested for money laundering, as he had never updated the school's equipment as he stated he had. Once he was arrested, they began to dig into the footage and found many inconsistencies, regarding some students. Tvi went onto explain there had been expulsions that were never approved of by the board. The board was now frantically expunging records and reaching out to families. During the special, it was announced that a student had been arrested for lying to not only the school, but also the staff. They announced that a few of the students' parents were now suing the young girl as she took money and items from their classmates, claiming to be well connected with celebrities. They had also claimed to put money towards charities of their choice or would help them get their dream job. Dupont was called a school of dreamers and nativity. The class couldn't help but think of Lila, Marinette, and Ms. Bustier. When they had been questioned about Lila, they instantly got defensive and threw Marinette under the bus as a bully. They were quickly finding out, they had made the wrong choice and Marinette was rigth about Lila all along.
Adrien had snuck out and was hoping to meet up with some of the class for answers. He had no idea his father was one of the people suing Lila, once he had learned she had lied on her resume and forged her mother's signature. The model hoped he could talk to Marinette, as well. He never expected to see her outside of a hotel.
"Hey, Marinette!" He called out, "Did you tip off the school board?"
"No." She answered.
"Then, how did they know?" he questioned.
"Because of you." Mari replied.
"Huh?" he asked, not understanding.
"This ended exactly they way you wanted it to." she continued, "You wanted me to let Lila lie and she would catch herself in her own web of lies. Her going to jail, being sued; this is all your fault. All I wanted to do was tell her lying could get her in trouble. I wanted to make sure everyone was cautious about what she said. They could have double checked, knew she lied, and then went along with her lie, for her sake."
Adrien looked at her, surprised.
"This isn't you, Marinette." he replied, full of disappointment.
Mari shrugged, "Maybe it is. Maybe it isn't. I don't really know anymore."
"Wh-What do you mean?" Adrien questioned.
"I put up with Chloe, with the teachers looking past my harassment for year, with Lila defaming me." Marinette spoke, "I feel nothing, anymore, Adiren. I don't know how to be happy anymore."
Adrien wasn't sure how to reply, when Damian walked out of the building.
"Are you ready?" Damian asked Marinette.
She nodded her head.
"Wait! Mari-" the model began.
"Go inside." Ordered Damian.
Marinette nodded again and went inside, past the security out front.
"Leave her alone." Damian growled out.
"Who are you?" Questioned the model.
"Her boyfriend." Damian stated.
"No. She would have told Alya and Alya would have told Nino. Nino would have told me." Adrien babbled in shock, "She would have told her best friend-"
"The same 'best friend' that pours drinks on her head and her sketchbook?" Damian retorted, " The same one who trips her in the halls and steps on her hand until she had to wear a brace and couldn't design? The same one who would drop her sisters off without any notice because Lila needed her?"
"That girls isn't friend, Agreste. She is a bully." Damian stated, "My girlfriend is seeing a therapist because of your idiotic high road philosophy. Do you have any idea what it was like to come to Paris, to surprise her, and instead, I find she swallowed a whole bottle of pills! She was dying when I found her."
Adrien paled at the thought.
'Marinette tried to kill herself? I'm to blame for all of this?'
"You almost got her killed. Would you have done the same, seeing as how you were 'in this together' with her?" The Wayne heir continued, "I'd tell you to stay away from her, but her parents signed over guardianship to my father so that she can get out of Paris. She won't even be in the country by Friday. Marinette will get the help she deserves."
"You silenced her. You made her feel useless. You made her feel like trash. You are lucky you have nothing tying you to her harassment or I would be suing you; trust me, I looked." Damian concluded.
"Huh?" Adrien asked, still in disbelief.
Damian rolled his eyes, "I called the board when My Angel was in the hospital. Did you know that Lila isn't even her real name? It's Cerise Lerouch. She is signed up at another school, here in Paris. She was never a transfer student from Italy, just a girl who likes attention. All those 'trips out of the country' was just her going back to her other school because she wasn't 'sick' anymore. In fact, she wore a wig and contacts to your school, every day."
Adrien remained speechless.
The Wayne heiress sighed, "I do not understand what she saw in you."
"Who?" The model questioned.
"Marinette. She was in love with you. I believed I had competition and would have to strive hard to earn her favor. All I ha e seen is a boy who is completely and utterly disappointing. " Damian announced, "Be sure to tell your little friends that the only thing they have done is earn the wrath of the Waynes. Same for the supposed 'best friend'. My family owns her dream job and now she'll never have it. How disappointing for her."
The young Wayne turned away from the model and entered the hotel. After a moment, he tried to run in after him, only to be told 'only people with special clearance were allowed in'.
Unfortunately for Adrien, the entire Lila Disaster had only fueled his father's intentions of keeping him homeschooled. He still kept in contact with Nino, but the others were busy with their own things. Nino had told him Alya had hysterical after learning she was being sued by the Waynes. They were suing her for emotional distress, for all the babysitting she had forced on Marinette. Alya had to pay all the money she never gave Mari, once her parents found out. Marinette had kept a detailed planner listing what times and when Alya had dropped off the twins. She had even recorded the twins, asking what Alya had told them and why they were dropped off. Her parents were upset with her and grounded her for the rest of the year. They weren't going to be able to go out on dates and she was now the twins sole babysitter. Nino recanted how Alya said her family was disappointed in her. They were barely looking at her and the twins kept crying how they preferred Marinette. She had also learned that she was blacklisted from the Daily Planet. After that, she shut down and barely said a word.
Nino went on to explain that he was trying to get music files he had given Lila because she knew some DJs. Other classmates were learning that what she had promised them, wasn't true. Juleka had called her father, Jagged Stone, and asked him about knowing Lila and saving his kitten. She quickly filled him in about her tinnitus disability when he didn't remember her, but he claimed to never own a cat of any sort. Even Jagged Stone was looking to suing Lila. After Juleka told Rose, she quickly emailed Prince Ali and was anxiously waiting for a response back. Ivan and Mylene had given Lila money for charities, but were unlikely to see any of their money back. Nathaniel had given her some art to hold for when she went to America to give to her connections. Nino told Adrien they were signed in invisible ink so it was being looked into.
The class itself was slowly falling apart. Max was worried about his grades and how a new teacher would approach everything so he asked to transfer to a private school. There was no evidence he had participated in the bullying so he had been free to leave. Kim no longer had someone to help him focus so his grades fell and he was cut from the team. Kim no longer bet on anything and was even spending less time with Alix. His relationship with Odine was falling apart. There were whispers of the Mayor being tied with Damocles about the money laundering and hints of an investigation looming over his head. Chloe seemed upset and waas pouting, but never answered what was wrong. It wasn't until later he learned that Sabrina had transferred school to the other side of Paris. Adrien couldn’t believe all the chaos that was caused because one person had lied.
Adrien had finally broken down and cried. Natalie found him and once he had calmed down a bit, she asked him to explain.
"I messed up." he sobbed, "I knew Lila was lying, but I used Father's logic: lies don't hurt people. I didn't think any of this would happen. Marinette tried to commit suicide and is now moving out of Paris. Alya is depressed. Lots of our friends are trying to sue Lila and get their things back. Some changed schools. Others are flunking! I got blamed for Marinette and her boyfriend said ther was nothing to stick to me so he couldn't sue me."
Adrine cried himself to sleep. Natalie informed Gabriel and it was only then he saw how naïve he made his son, by keeping him home. He was grateful that ther was nothing holding Adrien accountable, but he knew he needed to do something fast. He called up his sister-in-law and pleaded with her for Adrien to attend school with his cousin. As much as he hated it, Felix would help beat the naivety out of his son.
Meanwhile, in Gotham, Marinette had moved into the Wayne Manor. All the Waynes had been very welcoming. Damian had even introduced her to Jon; Damian explained that Jon also helped him express his emotions. She had an appointment for a therapist next week.

It seems that, in my experience at least, there’s a bit more focus on Gabriel as a grandfather to the Adrienette kids than Tom and Sabine in the fandom, which is somewhat understanable given that Gabriel is such a divisive character but also unfortunate because let’s be real, Tom and Sabine would absolutely ADORE their grandbabies. The kids would always be thrilled to go to Grandma and Grandpa Dupain-Cheng’s because they know there’s gonna be an assortment of delicious sugary treats awaiting them that doting grandparents would be all too happy to share. XD
chat noir starts to visit the bakery and becomes close to tom and sabine who slowly become his parental figures and he starts feel like he finally has a family.
he starts to see that his own actual father is more of a stranger to him then tom and sabine. things change adrien stops asking nathalie about his father, he stops talking about gabriel, he stops calling him and like yeah he lives in the mansion and does all his extracurricular activities but other than that he’s unofficially cut ties to gabriel.
and while gabriel is out there akumatizing people to get his wife back he doesn’t realize that he’s lost the only other family he has.
it hits him really hard when he hears adrien refers to him as just ‘gabriel’ and refers to tom as ‘dad’
Full colour doodle page moment
I could definitely see a potential future for the show start to head a Marichat sort-of direction, but in the snail's progress way the show just loves. I'm obsessed with the idea that Adrien thinks Marinette doesn't like Adrien but is in love with Chat, when it is in fact the opposite djkfhgjd
I can imagine that if Marinette and Chat Noir start dating, Adrien might start showing more affection towards Marinette, and Ladybug, to Chat, which causes a whirlwind of conflicting emotions like "oh so NOW you like me back??" you know. because who doesn't love unnecessary conflict :-)
also bonus:
POV: you thought someone broke into your house but instead you find your daughter with the stray she found on the street
.
Marinette's family is definitely rich
The building they own is five stories tall
The bakery is on the first floor
Her parent’s room and a bathroom is on the second floor
The third floor is the living room and a dining room
Marinette’s room is the entire fourth floor
Lastly, the balcony is on the fifth floor
Their house/building is also next to the Eiffel Tower, which is a super popular tourist destination. Not to mention that France is an expensive place to live in and their building is around a very nice place. The bakery is very popular as well. In the Christmas special, we can see that the bakery gets a ton of customers which includes the mayor and a famous news reporter. Jagged Stone also filmed a special in that episode which gave them even more publicity.
Marinette has a complete set of gadgets (computer, phone, tablet/iPad, etc.) and thousands of dollars worth of sewing supplies, which is not cheap at all.
They also have a lot of famous connections. Marinette’s mom is best friends with a famous news reporter and trust Marinette enough to babysit her only child. A famous rock star chose Marinette to design his album cover when his career was in trouble because of XY. Not to mention that cover that Marinette designed got the number one spot. Jagged Stone even chose their bakery to film his special episode on. Marinette has tons of connections on her own as well but that’s for another discussion. Lastly, Marinette’s uncle is a world-famous chef, so they probably have even more connections that we don’t even know about.
Another thing is that Marinette’s grandmother travels the world full time. Traveling is expensive so that’s another point for them being rich. Marinette’s grandmother also doesn’t seem like the type of person to accept money from her sons. So where would the money come from?
One last thing is the school that Marinette attends. That school is full of children with rich and influential parents. Juleka’s mom used to be a famous rock star who played alongside Jagged Stone. Alya is the daughter of a well-known chef and her sister is a famous wrestler. Alix’s dad is a famous historian. Mylene’s dad is an actor. Lastly, Chloe is the daughter of the mayor and a famous fashion designer/critique and they own a famous hotel branch as well. We also know that Chloe’s family would not send their only daughter to a public school or some random private school. Nope, they would only send Chloe to the best school in Paris. Plus, Chloe would throw a big tantrum if she wasn’t sent to a very expensive private school. It also makes sense since Adrien attends that school. Gabriel Agreste would not let Adrien attend some random public school. Especially since he wants Adrien to maintain the perfect Agreste image.
So yeah, I’m convinced that the Dupain-Cheng’s are rich. Who knows, they might even have more money than Chloe and Adrien but, they’re just more humble about it. Who knows? This would also prove my theory of Marinette being famous or/and an influencer to be true.
Alright as we know in fics Sabine has nicknames for Mari in Mandarin, but how come when Tom gives her nicknames it’s always in French, why isn’t it Italian. My dude is Italian let him speak it sometimes

alt to the villains au: lets make tom a supervillain lets go lads lets go
main notes: -Marinette doesn't have any memories of the OG timeline, and is totally in the dark about what her dad is up to -Adrien remembers the last timeline and in this one figures out that he's Hawkmoth/Cockmoth/Monarch/fuckface/worst father of the year -Tom also DOES NOT remember the last timeline, but deduces through Nooroo that someone caused Sabine's illness and death, and that's his motivation for supervillain'ing things up
I'm sitting very politely and asking if it would be possible to see Adrien akumatised by Viceroy. Even if you don't want to, letting you know I'm insane about all your AUs (and your art in general, alien behaviour Shadow was so cool), you do such amazing work and I am completely normal about it
(Caspases' concept art beloooow)
