soft supports and the punks that need them is a Life Is Strange fanfic by Evilyoyo that can be read here
on Archive of Our Own.
soft supports and the punks that need them provides examples of:
- Adaptational Angst Downgrade: While Chloe's father still dies and it takes a heavy toll on her, her Long-Distance Relationship with Max and being able to depend on the Caulfields when drama at home becomes too much has mellowed her out considerably compared to her counterdependent-canon counterpart. She's still a punk and a rebel, but she's level-headed not to get herself expelled.
- Adaptational Mundanity: While Life Is Strange is a Murder-Mystery with a Magic Realist spin, here there are no Serial Killers, Time Rewind Mechanic, prophetic visions or Portents of Doom followed by a town-destroying hurricane. Just two childhood friends entering a Long-Distance Relationship.
- Girlfriend in Canada: By the time Max enters Blackwell, she has become famous for being Chloe's "alleged" girlfriend.
- Long-Distance Relationship: Chloe and Max wound up in a relationship right before Max's family moved to Seattle, keeping in contact over the years and seeing each other in small intervals.
- Relationship Upgrade: Unlike their canon-counterparts, Chloe and Max become girlfriends before Max moves to Seattle.
- Shout-Out: When confessing that she has dirty fantasies about her to Max, Chloe admits most of them involve Max "take pictures of me like one of your french girls."
