''You and Me and'' is a ''{{VideoGame/Heavy Rain}}'' FanFic written by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/2549683/lankypanky lankypanky]].
The story is a different take on canon events, starting with one seemingly small divergence: Ethan bringing his gun to the Lizard trial. That decision has ripple effects on the rest of the plot, causing subsequent events to play out quite a bit differently. As Norman works alongside Ethan and Madison to rescue Shaun and find the Origami Killer, he finds himself confounded by Ethan's persistent "crazylogic." But what if his "crazylogic" isn't so crazy after all?
It can be read [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6437268/1/You-and-Me-and here]].
!!''You and Me and'' provides examples of the following tropes:
* AbandonedWarehouse: Chapter 17 is set in one.
* AdaptationDistillation: Some events from canon are cut out, including Mad Jack, Ann Sheppard, and Madison investigating [[spoiler:Scott's apartment]].
* AlternateUniverseFic
* AMindIsATerribleThingToRead: [[spoiler:Ethan is not a [[{{Telepathy}} telepath]], but it's implied that his blackouts were caused by him trying to block out the pain he felt from those around him]].
* BetterThanCanon: Some reviewers seem to think so.
* CountryMatters: Adrian Baker uses this to refer to Madison.
* CurbStompBattle: Norman vs. the Origami Killer, not helped by the fact the former is hallucinating for most of it.
* DeadpanSnarker: Madison and Norman get their fair share of snark in, usually directed at each other.
* {{Determinator}}: Ethan as per canon, to Norman's exasperation.
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation:
** Brad Silver is shot by Norman instead of by Ethan.
** Adrian Baker dies from a [[BoomHeadshot bullet to the head]] courtesy of Norman instead of being stabbed by Madison.
** [[spoiler:Scott Shelby]] dies by being shot once by [[spoiler:Shaun]] and multiple times by Ethan.
* TheEmpath: [[spoiler:Ethan.]]
* EyeScream: Norman overuses [=ARI=] in chapter 12, causing his eyes to bleed.
* ForWantOfANail: What if Ethan had his gun with him during the Lizard trial?
* FunctionalAddict: Norman to a point, as per canon.
* InSpiteOfANail: Several canon events still end up happening:
** Madison still ends up in Adrian Baker's basement.
** The police still track Ethan to the Cross Road Motel.
** Norman and Madison still investigate the Blue Lagoon, and Norman still gets into a fight with the Origami Killer.
* IWasJustJoking: This exchange between Norman and Madison:
-->''"I, uh. I'm not sure if "thanks" is appropriate, in these circumstances. But, you know, maybe I won't arrange to have you killed after this is over."''
-->''She stared at him, shocked. "You...won't..."''
-->''"Jesus, I'm kidding. Just start the car." He paused, rubbing his face. "Besides, that's the [=CIA=]."''
* JekyllAndHyde: Norman thinks this might be the case with Ethan, even referring to his potential [[SplitPersonality other half]] as his "Mr. Hyde." As per canon, this is subverted.
* MadDoctor: Adrian Baker.
* MsExposition: Madison.
* PsychicPowers: [[spoiler:Ethan is [[TheEmpath an empath]], with the ability to feel the pain of others around him. In chapter 19, he is able to see and talk to Norman's hallucination of Shaun, which represents Norman's guilt.]]
* RealityEnsues: Many of the main characters' struggles, and the effects that certain events have on them, are depicted more realistically than in canon.
* ShoutOut:
** Norman's [=ARI=] butler is named [[Literature/TheShining Lloyd]].
** Norman references ''[[Literature/FightClub Fight Club]]'' in chapter 14.
* TitleDrop:
** In chapter 5:
-->''"No, sorry. That'll be okay for a little bit, now. I just dozed off for a second. I'm dead tired."''
-->''"That's you and me and baby makes three," she said solemnly, and the incongruity of it made him smile.''
** In chapter 19:
-->''"You, and me," he said, knowing he could never explain, "You and me and Ethan, and all our ghosts."''
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: In chapter 18, Madison explains how [[spoiler:Scott]] died.
-->''"[[spoiler:Shaun]] looked just as surprised as anyone. Terrified. Then Ethan reached over and grabbed the gun right out of his hand and just started firing. Hit him a couple more times, and then he went down. He was a big guy, you know, the killer. But Ethan just kept shooting. Walked over to him while the guy was on the ground, just kept pulling the trigger until it was out of bullets. Just went until it started clicking."''
