I don't ship it (although I do think the two of them would be great together) but I CAN see it happening.

I've only played the first two games so far (working through the third right now, on case no 3) but with what canon has given us to work off, it is entirely possible for Franziska and Adrian to happen.

(JFA SPOILERS AHEAD YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED)

Adrian, especially in JFA is a very very insecure person. She's unsure of herself, scared, and codependent. She connects to the strong people in her life because she doesn't have that strength of her own and she feels the need to get it from somewhere or someone to make herself believe that she's not worthless.
She saw that kind of strength in her mentor, Celeste. She idolised her, respected her, and some argue that maybe she loved her too. After Celeste killed herself, Adrian was so lost that she didn't think her own life was worth living either and also attempted to kill herself.
And then Franziska came along. Despite being much younger than Adrian, she is strong, determined, stubborn and has done things that are worth being admired for. Exactly the kind of person that Adrian could hang on to, to give her strength and belief in herself.
If you are one of those people that believes Adrian loved Celeste then it also stands to reason that it's entirely possible she could love Franziska too.

On Franziska's side. she's a brilliant social engineer and almost an expert in manipulation and getting what she wants. If Adrian did indeed love her, then it wouldn't exactly be hard for her to make her believe that she loved her too, even if she didn't.

Of course, I don't picture any relationship between the two as being stable, or fluffy, or romantic. I picture it as a BDSM Master/slave relationship because at that point in canon, Adrian is the kind of person that would give herself up entirely to the one person in the world that she felt could give her any kind of strength and belief in herself.

How do I know so much about Adrian and how her mind works? I used to be just like her. I know that if I was in her situation, I would latch on to and yes, maybe even love Franziska. I realise I'm not the character herself, but I saw a lot of myself in her. And not just because she's the hottest character in the game ;)

tl:dr - It works because of their personalities, and even though it's not explicitly stated in canon, it's not entirely impossible either.

I agree with most of this, except I think that there could be romance. Mainly because Franziska is... very stunted emotionally, and it would take someone as patient and affectionate as Adrian to possibly bring her out of that. Yes, you're right, it could end up very bad, but it could also end up very good and the two of them would balance each other out.

Actually, BDSM relationships can be (and, in reality, probably often are) stable and romantic. Fluffy is a matter of perspective, but to imply that a relationship with heavy D/s tones is almost by definition unhealthy for the sub would be... wrong.
