GUYS WE GOT TOM

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?

Marinette's post!

ML au: Childhood soulmates (Cause more)

-Adrien has been modeling Marinette’s designs since they were kids. He always wears something Marinette made, even when modeling. Gabriel is thankful the girl is so damn talented or this would be a hinderence.

-Gabriel is well aware of Miss Dupain-Cheng’s talents and still praises her designs. She won every design contest she has entered, even the one Gabriel has created. He even judged her harder then the other participants to avoid bias.

-Adrien is over the top in everything he does with Marinette. Marinette trips and hurts her ankle? He carries her bridal style to the nurse. She pricked her fingers while sewing. Naturally she shouldn’t be writing, so he will take notes for her. Marinette tries to have Adrien calm down, as people are saying things, (and she is very flustered)

-Chat Noir totally showing off to the nth degree around Marinette.

-Evillustrator turned into a brawl with a very jealous kitty attacking the artist.

-Adrien has all sorts of nicknames for Marinette. And Marinette has nicknames for Adrien.

-they can totally rattle off every embarrassing thing the other person has done without missing a beat.

-Marinette still gets flustered around Adrien sometimes, but she is Infinetly more comfortable with him then in canon. She can even banter and flirt back.

-Adrien will casually confess that he is in love with Marinette if asked. Nino knows this.

-“So you are in love with Marinette?”

-“Yes.”

-“Does she know?”

-“I’ve said it a bunch of times.”

-“But have you clearly stated that you are in love with her? Like not in a teasing way, or in a casual way?”

-Adrien then blushes “No...”

-Alya knows her girl has it bad for the blond.

-“Just Tell him.”

-“what if it ruins everything that we have? I couldn’t imagine my life without him in it.”

-Both of them are scared of taking the next step for fear of losing the other, because conflict.

Can I add to this just one more thing I thought would be funny. Marinette “confessing” she loves Chat like in Weredad and then Adrien is jealous of himself what you think?

Oh let me tell you, Weredad is something else entirely!

And I plan on doing a post specifically about it

That sounds terrific!

Can I ask you, though, how would Volpina happen?

Because, clearly, Lila would be jealous of Marinette, not Ladybug. So how would her lies work then?

ML au: Childhood soulmates (some more)

-Adrien visiting the bakery, he calls Sabine Auntie and Tom Uncle.

-Sabine and Adrien talking Chinese to one another, especially when talking about Marinette. (He gushes about her, and Sabine ships it)

-Marinette is better in Chinese because while she isn’t a natural when it comes to languages, Adrien swings by and helps her out

-Marinette and Adrien playing video games all the time with eachother. (Marinette is better then him at fighting, strategy, and first person shooters) (Adrien is better at Platformers, racing games, and horror games.)

-The Gamer happens a lot differently at least in the beginning. Adrien tells Marinette about the tournament from the get go, and she is hyped about it.

-Max was cocky and totally thought he had a spot, but he was outclassed by both Marinette and Adrien. (Since Adrien played with Marinette and Tom, he is better, but not Marinette level) this makes him naturally pissed.

-After the gamer, Marinette was going to give her spot to Max like before, but then Adrien volunteers his spot. Max tells them both they don’t have to do that. He knows he is sulking, they are both amazing and should go for it, he will beat them next time. They ask him to be their coach for the tournament. Which he agrees. Adrien somehow messes up his hand in the semi finals and Max is the alternate, so he helps and they win the tournament.

-Adrien introducing Marinette to new people as his future wife some times. To which Marinette punches his shoulder and tells him to stop messing with people.

-Tom asking Adrien when the wedding is, much to Marinette’s flustered attitude. Adrien changes the answer each time.

“I’m thinking of a spring wedding, after Marinette has her first fashion line release.”

“I’m thinking a fall wedding right before I start my career as a chemistry professor.”

Like father, like daughter
