''One Small Change'' is an ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'' fanfic written by [[https://m.fanfiction.net/u/9359979/77Xfire 77Xfire]] found [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13977698/1/One-Small-Change here]] on Website/FanFictionDotNet and [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/35673325/chapters/88945486 here]] on Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn. According to the latter, it is Part 1 of the ''Fanfic/FourthLightSeries''.

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Through Marcy's journal entries and her thoughts, we're shown how guilty she feels about stranding the girls in Amphibia, especially after she starts dating Anne. [[spoiler:Notably, she reveals she isn't on good terms with her parents and that they weren't supportive of her coming out, grounding her for a month after she took it back.]]

* {{Bookends}}: The first story began with Anne worrying over Marcy and Sprig needing to comfort her. It ends the same way [[spoiler:when Anne breaks down crying after watching Marcy get stabbed by King Andrias.]]

-->"Sprig... you really messed up..."
* ComingOutStory: While resting after Quarreler's Pass, Anne confides in Sprig that she likes girls and admits she's attracted to Marcy. After he accidentally outs her in front of the girl in question, Marcy reveals to Anne she's bisexual and feels the same way, which leads to them hooking up. [[spoiler:Later {{Deconstructed}} for Marcy when she admits she took back her coming out after she told her parents.]] "An Angel... OF DEATH" shows that Marcy realized her crush over a year before the girls came to Amphibia.

* CutenessProximity: "The Face", a technique consisting of PuppyDogEyes, pouting and a bit of folding ears. Adorable and stupid sad at the same time, it's Marcy's way of getting Anne to go easy on her for not taking care of herself. It's so powerful, it's basically a universal rule that Anne can't say no to Marcy about anything.

!This work contains examples of:

* ForWantOfANail: Not wanting to be seperated from Anne again, Marcy decides to join her and the Plantars on the return journey to Wartwood while King Andrias prepares the supplies for the quest to the first temple.

* AffectionateNickname: Along with her usual "Mar Mar" and "Marbles", Anne takes to calling Marcy "Marcemallow".

-->'''Sprig''': So… I'm almost scared to ask… since you like girls and all…"
-->'''Anne''': (''bluntly'') "No, I never liked Sasha that way."

** Upon learning it, Sprig realizes Anne's crush is why she's so worried about Marcy and intends to milk it as long as possible. He stops when he sees Anne hugging her knees in concern.

* HeroicSacrifice: Marcy accidentaly invokes this. In the battle against the Chicka-lisk, she tries to save Anne from being turned to stone only to take the hit herself. Anne quickly guesses she meant to get both of them out of the way and tripped.

** The one-shot "Wingfrog Sprig" is an alternate take on this: instead of blurting it out, Sprig waits until he and Anne are alone and suggests he try to learn if Marcy has mutual feelings for Anne during their stay in Newtopia.

** "Overthinking Things" occurs between "Bessie and MicroAngelo" and "The Third Temple".

* {{Interquel}}:

** "''An Angel... OF DEATH!''" takes place between "A Day at the Aquarium" and "Night Drivers".

* CannotKeepASecret: After entering Newtopia, Sprig asks Anne out loud for reconfirmation that she has a crush on Marcy... who's a few feet away. After Anne runs off with Marcy tailing her, Hop Pop tells his grandson how stupid that was.

* ComingOutStory: While resting after Quarreler's Pass, Anne confides in Sprig that she likes girls and admits she's attracted to Marcy.
