#adrinonette

of course! i've talked about it a little before but i can't seem to find the original post. there is another post i found that explains some of it but i'm just gonna go ahead and answer from scratch

so the origin of the idea is loosely inspired by @ck2k18's brooklyn nine-nine AU, because adrien and marinette in that fic fill the role of jake and amy, while nino by virtue of being adrien's bestie is sort of charles. except characterization-wise, nino's really nothing like charles--especially not with the being overly invested in adrinette's relationship the way charles is about jake and amy. (i'm so sorry if you haven't seen that show because then this part probably makes no sense but kasjfbkjd i'm getting to the point i swear 😂). so then I had a random thought: what would it take--for comedic purposes of course--for nino to act more like boyle? and Ta-Da! that's how this random plot bunny came to be

essentially the fic starts with aged up, established adrinette and a djwifi break up (alya's moving away to chase a job opportunity, she was going to stay nino but nino eventually tells her to go. it's a they've kinda naturally grown apart type deal, but obviously he's still really upset about it). and so, marinette and adrien, being the very supportive friends they are, tell nino he can stay with them for a while so he can have some company while he gets over the break up

only, uh...nino kind of doesn't leave. and is suddenly overly invested in marinette and adrien's lives since he doesn't really know where he's going with his own anymore. and leads to the awkward "haha how do we tell him he's overstayed his welcome" type deal--at least until that comes to a head and marinette and nino get closer and then, uh, at some point there are probably some drunken shenanigans aaaaaaand that's about all i've got so far! but it's a fun AU to play with! and gives me an opportunity to explore ninette because i loooooove them i wish there was more of them (i say while also not writing them akjbsfdksjbfb)

anyways i hope this at least somewhat answers your question! i also talked a bit more about it here

Y E S pls

Nino and Mari plotting to be able to take Adrien out for lunch or dinner at Mari's place. They try out new cookie and macaroon recipes. Adrien is the worst at baking but boy do his cookies look good. Ninos turn out rather weird looking but they're delicious and Mari's are both pretty and tasty !!
