MATCHED AU
(Loosely based on the Matched series by Ally Condie, but more just the first book bc I don’t like the second one)
Marinette is at her matching ceremony (age 16) and gets matched with Adrien, the safe choice and one of her best friends since childhood
It isn’t common for peple who already know each other to get Matched, but it does happen
Adrien has a small crush on Mari in this AU, and Marinette likes him but doesn’t have any strong romantic ties to him
BUT when she views the file she was given by the committee the next day, Damian Wayne’s name comes up instead for a minute before switching to Adrien’s name and info
Damian is classified as an Aberration bc of his wild past and his family issues (the Waynes are known of around town, but have no power or connections or anything like that), and he and Mari have met before but never really talked/connected with each other
They lived in the same area (It’s a more dystopic version of Paris; no heroes, no villains except for the government of course)
Marinette reports what happened with her file, is told it was a glitch-- if Damian hadn’t been an Abberation, he would’ve been her Match, but because he was they chose Adrien as a suitable choice
They want her to forget about it, but she can’t
She starts running into Damian more often around town, going to community events that he goes to, talking to him and getting to know him better
Obviously they start to fall in love
Adrien is kinda oblivious at this point, but he starts to get suspicious and a little possessive (not a salt AU though! He’s just worried bc of the Abberation status thing)
As Marinette and Damian start to hang out together more often, people start to get super suspicious, especially some government officials in charge of the Matching process (maybe the JL or Master Fu?)
Chaos and secrecy ensue, and Marinette, Damian and Adrien are trapped in a terrible predicament the government specifically worked to eradicate
Whatever will they do now?
(If anyone wants to write this as a fic please go ahead, I certainly know I can’t, but I can always answer questions :) )
