hello, idk if you've done this yet, but do u know any good post reveal pre relationship fic recs? sorry if this request is kinda vague lol
General requests are easier than super specific ones lol so you don’t need to apologize for that! I have been meaning to do a PRPR rec list for a while now (and, not directed at you, anon, but yes, PRPR stands exclusively for post-reveal pre-relationship) so thanks for giving me the push to finally do it! (Sorry, I may have gotten a little carried away with this one, but it’s truly one of my favourite things to read.)
The Official Summer Buster Kiss List by @peachcitt
“You’d really be alright with kissing me?” he asked, and Marinette popped the cap of her dry-erase marker on and off.
“I mean, yeah,” she said, and they stared at each other for a moment. “Of course,” she hurried on, “you’d have to be alright with being my candidate. Teacher. Guide. Whatever.” She made a few empty gestures with the marker, and the loose cap flew off the end, bouncing off the wall and rolling off her desk.
Adrien caught it before it could fall to the floor, handing it back to her. “I am,” he said, looking her in the eye. “I’ll do it.”
or
a very simple four-point plan to tackle the issue of marinette's abysmal kissing life that turns into a six-point plan and also results in an outcome that literally no one could have predicted (sarcasm)
One-shot. They’re just so incredibly stupid (affectionate). The writing is gorgeous, the humour is spot on, and I loved all the little details of their lives with the passage of time. It’s so clear that they love each other, but as always, it takes them way too long to admit it haha.
Emergency Contact by @coffeebanana
When Marinette invites Adrien to live with her temporarily while she recovers from an injury, she thinks the hardest part is going to be hiding her feelings from him. But Adrien's idea of being helpful might go...a little overboard.
Post Shadow Moth defeat, Aged Up Characters, Read the Tags
Multi-chapter. This fic is just so real and messy and beautiful. The mutual pining is absolutely perfect! The backstory and how that impacts their current dynamic is so well woven through and adds another layer to their relationship. But also, I love the lack of perfection, that these are real people with real flaws and the way that all plays out. I absolutely love this fic!
rainwater and brown sugar by @aerequets
He knew they shouldn't do anything (whatever that 'anything' was). They couldn't. Not until they defeated Hawkmoth. Not until their relationship wouldn't get in the way of their work (or whatever other excuse they'd come up with over the course of three months). He knew all this. He knew.
But it was the raindrop that did it for him.
One-shot. It’s seriously unfair that someone who draws so beautifully should be able to write equally so. And yet. This is just so beautiful and SOFT and lovely. And then THAT KISS!!!!!
An Open Secret by @kasienda
Adrien whirled around toward Marinette. She smiled at him.
He couldn’t smile back. He stared at her like the dumb blond model that he was often accused of being.
Something shifted in her expression. And her warm open Marinette smile transformed into Ladybug’s grin. He was looking at Ladybug right now.
He knew Ladybug’s name!
Her name was Marinette Dupain-Cheng.
And he couldn’t say anything! Not to Marinette! Not even to Plagg, who had confided two weeks prior that Master Fu was growing increasingly paranoid since the location of his home and hideout had been compromised. Their master had apparently decided that Chat Noir and Ladybug would have to give up their miraculouses if they ever discovered each other’s identities.
It wasn’t fair!
...
A fic where they both know, but can't openly talk about it.
Multi-chapter. I absolutely love the early reveal in this fic. I’ve read a lot of reveals, but this one is really fun and original! And then the premise of the fic itself isn’t one I’ve seen anywhere else, which makes it very different from the usual PRPR fare. Because even though they both know...they can’t actually talk about it. And it’s so interesting and different and sweet?
A little push by @emsylcatac
Alya asks Chat Noir to record a video of himself encouraging Marinette to confess...to Adrien.
Of course his mouth speaks on its own. Of course he says yes.
Of course his Lady is most likely sure to kill him.
...And of course Marinette feels like she's the one who's about to die.
One-shot. @emsylcatac‘s fics never go the way that I expect them to, and I really love that about her writing. Although this starts off really silly, the way Adrien expresses himself at the end wasn’t something I saw coming at all, even though it’s SO TRUE to his character. The pining and miscommunication is wonderful, but it’s the ending that really sells me on this one.
17 days, 2 hours and some odd minutes by @miabrown007
It has been 17 days, 2 hours and 14 minutes since Chat Noir flirted with Ladybug for the last time.
It has been exactly 17 days, 2 hours and 13 minutes since Adrien realized his very good friend and his best friend were, in fact, one and the same.
Consecutively, it has been exactly 17 days, 2 hours and 12 minutes since he constantly fought the insurmountable desire to kiss the said friend.
One-shot. The yearning in this fic is absolutely e x q u i s i t e . I love it when Adrien stops flirting post-reveal and Marinette takes it the wrong way. And they’re just SO STUPID here, and then they get to be adorable in love dorks.
the wonderful part of the mess that we made by heresie_irisee
They knew.
They knew, and there would be no magical reset button for the memories they'd made today. She'd have to see him at school every day, and she'd see the Chat in him, as surely as he'd see the Ladybug in her.
One-shot but a lengthy one-shot. How about some post-Oblivio fic that has the magical ladybugs NOT erase their memories of the fight (because lbr that made no sense anyway)? Oblivio is probably my favourite episode and this is such a great fic. The mutual pining is so, so, so good! Especially love Marinette struggling to assimilate Adrien’s identities and Adrien’s obliviousness.
The Boy She Loves by @goth-bias
Adrien just wants to know who Marinette has been in love with this entire time, but she refuses to budge. Accidentally reading a part of her diary, however, gives Adrien the answers he has been looking for.
One-shot. So you may not know this about me, but I’m absolute sucker for the trope of Adrien fixating on the boy Marinette loves post-reveal. (And tbf for him fixating on the boy Ladybug loves pre-reveal.) I love how well done the miscommunication is here, where their failure to confess makes sense and all of the tension naturally follows.
Make it clear by @amiraculousplatypus​
After years, the masks have fallen. Marinette and Adrien figure out what has changed. And what hasn't.
One-shot. This one is all about the yearning. And then Adrien’s beautiful honesty that pushes Marinette to finally do something. They’re both so in character and I love them so much!
White Lies Over White Nights by meirencollector
“Tell me, Marinette. The other boy, is it me?"
There’s something about the way he says it. The way his lips move. The way his eyes glaze at her. The way he looks at her as if she hung the moon and stars. The way there’s a warm glow when he's drawing close to touch. Even in this snowstorm, he was a ray of sunshine, and she was a sunburn.
One-shot. This one is really interesting because of both its device--a game of Truth or Drink--and its use of non-linear storytelling. Even though the fic is set post-reveal, we get all kinds of flashbacks to memories of their pre-reveal interactions that really illuminate the present and are extremely well woven into the narrative. I also really appreciated how honest Adrien was about his feelings, even with their relationship being so ambiguous.
The following fics are amazing and absolutely worth reading, but do feature sexual content, so minors beware.
your lips are meant to be kissed by @zimtlein
During a tipsy evening, Adrien kisses Marinette’s forehead.
Understandably enough, Marinette has a complete meltdown.
One-shot. Rated E for sexual content. This is one of my favourite fics and I’ve read it a good half a dozen times at least. The pining is absolutely phenomenal and Adrien is so, so oblivious. And the tension between them just builds and builds and builds until I thought I was going to die! But instead it all leads to a phenomenal resolution.

I'm just logging on for the first time in a while. What's Prpr?
If you're referring to this post, prpr stands for post-reveal pre-relationship! My personal reason for liking it is that I like to see Adrien and Marinette be Ladynoir-esque best friends as civilians, while also being in love, while also hot potatoing their single, sparking brain cell back and forth like a furiously wriggling centipede. They would die for each other. They would get teen married. They would get stuck in a revolving door for three and a half hours. They make out platonically. They social-distance romantically. Adrien wallows in tearful melodrama about 'the other boy' Marinette mentioned when they were both fourteen. There's fervent, starry-eyed, silent pining on grounds of Chat Blanc / Hawkmoth / Our Responsibility To The City, but Gabriel thinks they're already dating. At no point does anyone think a single rational thought. If this is a dynamic that interests you, @ladynoirist is the one who inspired that art piece, and she has a few prpr fics! just stay this little (just try to never grow up) is about prpr Adrinette coparenting a kitten, and mansion, with a view is her most recent (featuring post-reveal Alyadrininette).

hi I'm gonna talk about post-reveal pre-relationship (because I can) and in this totally disorganised essay I will list reasons why it is important that we get post-reveal pre-relationship in the show and why it makes sense (to me and my personal needs but consider this list has everyone's best interests at heart and not just my own)
1. post-reveal pre-relationship in Ephemeral was brilliant so imagine getting all of this but it lasts more than like 5minutes. like imagine we really take the time to see them reconciling the other's identity in more than one episode
2. once the reveal happen, we get to look forward to them getting together and imagine tons of different scenarios (we already do that but you get what I mean right): it's like once your birthday has passed there's still christmas to look forward to, you know?
3. we get to see them fall in love a second (or third 😏) time
4. it really is upping the clowning to the next level honestly and what is this show if not a clowns show
5. we saw pictures of Adrien as Chat Noir in ephemeral thanks to the Marinette Freak Out Vision, but now I also need to see pictures of Chat Noir as Adrien too so if the next Marinette Freak Out Vision could give us that it would be neat (ladyblog pictures of Chat Noir's acrobatics from Rocketear I'm counting on you)
6. In the same idea and logic, we never got to see the Adrien Simp Vision of switching pictures of Marinette and Ladybug and really I think we should see it too for our personal simp reasons
7. the shenanigans and doubts of "has he moved on? does he still love me even though I rejected him before? shit he's not flirting why did I tell him to stop, I take it baaack" and "who is buttercup I really really really need to know, yes you can practice your confession for him on me my lady doesn't hurt one bit haha ha"
8. if you think the pining pre-reveal is bad, imagine the pining in a prpr situation. it'd be a nightmare but a nightmare we're willing to have
9. the classmates obliviously discussing Ladybug & Chat Noir's romantic endeavours right in front of Adrien & Marinette who have to just stand here and listen knowing it's exactly themselves they're talking about
10. Even better, they ask Marinette her opinion on Ladybug and Chat Noir's romantic feelings when Adrien is right here
11. Marinette putting up pictures of Chat Noir in her room
12. Adrien hiding pictures of Marinette in his room
13. every or so episode we get to be like "this is it. this is the one. it's gonna happen" and last second they chicken out but we got an awfully sweet moment we will scream about (in both frustration and happiness)
14. the end of ship wars within the same ship as we all scream towards the same goal: get together for the love of cheese
15. them going on a date-what date-this is not a date many many times
anyway I need to go to bed but who knows I just might continue this list later

I'd like to let it be known how much *joy* the prpr tag brings me. If you don't already know what it means it literally does not convey any information. Even if you're able to figure out that it has to do with reveals and relationships, it's impossible to figure out whether the P's are pre or post. Tagging "prpr" on AO3 automatically syns it to Post-Reveal Pre-Adrien Agreste | Chat Noir/Marinette Dupain-Cheng | Ladybug. Imagine if another fandom very innocently tried to use the acronyms for reasons and was met with the inability to do that because we all managed to somehow agree on what PRPR stands for when in many cases we can't even agree on whether to use the French or English translations within the fandom. Fucking excellent let's create another arbitrary acronym and co-opt it for our use and our use ONLY in the future

Um. What does prpr stand for?
Post reveal, pre relationship. I actually don’t read prpr fics very much because I enjoy the chaotic shenanigans of Marinette and Adrien not knowing their identities, but there are some really good prpr fics out there

prpr doesn’t stand for post-reveal post-relationship, actually!! the fandom generally uses “established relationship” in tags and whatnot (when they’re not using “post-relationship” as a shorthand just bc it’s quicker to type, i assume). the first pr is post-reveal, however, because pre-reveal can just be called “canon divergence” in whatever other way or “canon compliant”.
i am not sure why you are telling me this anon, i already know what prpr stands for? what made you think i thought it was post relationship? i’m genuinely confused what did i say

Hi! :D
Mm... This may sound silly but do you mind if I ask what's the meaning of "prpr" in your tag? At first I thought its like "purrpurr" but... I guess it's not? 😅
Heyaaa!
Omg purrrpurrr that's so cute 🥺😂 definitely what Chat Noir should do when Ladybug pets his kitty ears 🥺
In all seriousness prpr stands for 'post-reveal pre-relationship' (which quite frankly can be questionable since any combination of pre or post here could work but the fandom seems to have commonly agreed that 'prpr' stands for post-reveal pre-relationship haha) 😄
