History Fanfic / LifeHasNoMeaningWithoutYou

!This fanfic contains examples of:

--> '''Kate:''' Max! What are you doing to her? Don't you see what you're doing Max? You're doing what you accuse her of-
** Victoria herself does this to Chloe when Max breaks things off with her. This eventually leads to Chloe saving Max from an attempted suicide.

* AdaptationalHeroism: David is noticablly less of a JerkAss than in the game. He even defends Kate when her mother tries to forcefully take her out of Blackwell Academy.
* AdaptationalWimp: While far more monstrous, Mark Jefferson isn’t the BigBad and is a mere StarterVillain.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Three returning game antagonists get a dose of this.

* HeroicBSOD: After Chloe tells Max she doesn't want to see her again, Max falls into a deep depression, to the point of becoming catatonic, not eating for an entire weekend, and eventually trashing her room, then attempting suicide.

** In the first nine chapters, [[EvilTeacher Mark Jefferson]] reprises his canon role as the primary threat, being the one responsible for Nathan shooting Max and the one who kidnaps Victoria to torture and rape her.

* AscendedExtra: Kate's family in this fic make an appearance in the thanksgiving chapter, whereas in the game the most we see of them are letters they sent Kate concerning the viral video, and photograps.

* RageBreakingPoint: When the reporters knock Kate over trying to interview the others, Victora becomes so pissed she punches one of the reporters in the face, breaking his nose, and her own hand.

* OneHitKnockOut: Mr. Caulfield knocks out a reporter after she asks an insulting question about Max.

* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Mrs. Marsh, although not really by choice. Leaves when David defends Kate and reminds her that Kate is legally an adult and it would be kidnapping to force her to go home.

* OneHitKnockout: Mr. Caulfield knocks out a reporter after she asks an insulting question about Max.

** Sean Prescott, due to his AscendedExtra status. While he’s an AbusiveParent and his corruption is implied, he is depicted here as a borderline crime boss, with said corruption being explored here.

* ArmorPiercingSlap:
** Victoria gives more like an armor piercing punch to one of the reporters hassling Max when he shoves Kate to the ground, and keeps punching him to the point of breaking the reporter's nose and her own hand before being pried off of him by Dana.
** Max gives one to her mother when her mother catches her and Chloe making out and tries to physically pull her off Max.
** Max gives another one, again this one is more like a punch, to Azumi after learning that Azumi kissed Chloe. (In Azumi's defense, she was heavily drunk at the time.)

* EasilyForgiven: Zigzagged. Victoria isn't immediately forgiven by Max for the formers treatment of Kate. Ironically, Kate’s the ''first'' person to forgive Victoria, gradually leading up to their RelationshipUpgrade; this absolutely floors both Max, and Victoria herself.

* EvilLawyerJoke: [[spoiler:Rachel, who is in {{Heaven}}, wishes that she could sue Heaven for false advertising (she finds it rather boring), but says that all the lawyers are in {{Hell}}.]]

* DrivenToSuicide: Max has been having a series of PTSD induced nightmares and flashbacks over the events of the main game, and after breaking things off with Chloe (concluding "her" Chloe is dead). This eventually culminates in Max attempting to kill herself in the bathtub. The girls in her dorm try to rescue her, but is ultimately Chloe herself who breaks through to her.
* EasilyForgiven: Zigzagged. Victoria isn't immediately forgiven by Max for the formers treatment of Kate. Ironically, Kate is the ''first'' person to forgive Victoria, gradually leading up to their RelationshipUpgrade; this absolutely floors both Max, and Victoria herself.

** Sean Prescott, due to his AscendedExtra status. While he is an AbusiveParent and his corruption is implied, he is depicted here as a borderline crime boss, with said corruption being explored here.

* Victoria gives more like an armor piercing punch to one of the reporters hassling Max when he shoves Kate to the ground, and keeps punching him to the point of breaking the reporter's nose and her own hand before being pried off of him by Dana.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Azumi, when living in Japan had been in love with her childhood friend Fumi, who was the daughter of the head of a Yakuza family, who had promised her marriage to another Yakuza leader to form an alliance, they planned to run away together, only to be caught by Fumi's father. Fumi had suddenly told Azumi that she never loved her and that she disgusted her and never wanted to see her again. Azumi had believed her and felt that Fumi betrayed her. Only to find out three months later that Fumi had been forced to do so by her father, either cut Azumi out of her life, or watch her die. When Fumi had been forced into marriage by a man old enough to be her father, she found out that she had become pregnant with that man's child, with that. Fumi committed suicide.
