A common theme is unrequited love. Usually, either Adrien or Marinette believes their feelings are not reciprocated, which adds to the 'wall' between them. Another theme is self - discovery. As they navigate their relationship, they also learn more about themselves.
The theme of misunderstandings is often explored. Small misunderstandings can pile up and form the wall. For example, a misinterpreted gesture or a wrongly overheard conversation. Fanfictions might focus on how they clear up these misunderstandings and finally start to break down the wall that has been separating them.
The 'wall between us' in this fanfiction could refer to many things. It might be the shyness and miscommunication that often exists between Adrien and Marinette in the Miraculous Ladybug universe. Maybe it's their different social statuses or their superhero identities that create this invisible barrier. In fanfiction, authors often explore how they can break through this wall, perhaps through a series of heart - to - heart conversations or shared experiences that force them to confront their feelings for each other.
One common theme is Adrien's internal struggle. He's often conflicted about his growing obsession with Marinette while also trying to maintain his normal life and friendships. For example, he might feel guilty for spending so much time thinking about her instead of focusing on his studies or superhero duties.
A common theme is the 'will - they - won't - they' situation. The story keeps the readers on edge, wondering if they'll finally get together. It's like a dance between the two characters, with Adrien being shy about his feelings and Marinette being both excited and scared about the possibility of Adrien liking her.
Protection is another theme. His possessiveness is sometimes rooted in his desire to protect Marinette from harm, whether it's physical harm or emotional harm from people who might not have her best interests at heart.
Another theme is self - discovery. As they figure out their own feelings, they also discover more about themselves. For example, Marinette might realize how her shy nature has both held her back and also made her more endearing to Adrien. And Adrien may discover that his public persona as a model is different from who he really is inside, and Marinette helps him with that self - discovery. This all ties into their earned desire as they become more confident in themselves and more desirous of each other.
One common theme is domestic bliss. They are often shown enjoying simple things like cooking together or having movie nights at home.
One common theme is the exploration of their relationship. It shows how they support each other during this new phase of life. For example, Adrien might be extra protective of Marinette.
One common theme is the role - reversal. Usually, in the original show, Marinette and Adrien are around the same age, but in these fanfictions, with Marinette being older, she might take on a more protective or guiding role towards Adrien. Another theme could be the exploration of a different kind of romance. The age difference adds a new dynamic, and it can lead to stories where Marinette is more mature in her approach to love compared to the usual portrayal. For example, she might be more hesitant because of the age gap.
One common plotline is when Marinette is paired up with another boy for a school project or event. Adrien then starts to feel jealous because he realizes he has feelings for Marinette. For example, if Marinette has to work closely with Luka on a music project, Adrien might see them getting along well and become envious.
One common theme is the 'will - they - won't - they' situation. Since Marinette is so shy and Adrien is a bit clueless about her feelings, a lot of fanfics play around with this dynamic.
