Wherever did Marcy Wu go? is an Amphibia fanfiction written by SwiperYesSwiping
. This fic explores a possible scenario on if Marcy had stolen the music box herself and went missing, leaving Anne and Sasha to try and find her.
The fanfic can be read here on Archive of Our Own.
Wherever did Marcy Wu go? contains examples of:
- Abusive Parents: Marcy's parents are shown to be unsympathetic to their daughter's emotional state and still treat her running away as her simply acting out rather than being concerned about it.
- Crush Blush: Sasha starts getting this around Anne as the story goes on.
- In Spite of a Nail: Some things still go as per canon.
- Marcy still gets transported to Amphibia and lands in Newtopia (albeit without Anne or Sasha being transported).
- Sasha still goes through her Character Development and becomes less controlling to Anne (due to feeling guilt over having possibly pushed Marcy away with her behavior).
- Mistaken for Terrorist: Marcy's attempt at trying to gain electricity to power a car in the junkyard (albeit via stealing) and messing around with the box later on (leading to a city wide blackout) cause the public to see her as a terrorist.
- Sanity Slippage: Marcy faces this over the course of the story as frustration over running away and being labelled a terrorist when trying to survive eat away at her sanity.
- Ship Tease: Sasha gets this with Anne throughout the fic.
- Trans Tribulations: Jill, the woman Marcy talks to in chapter 2, tells her that she ran away from home because her parents didn't approve of her being trans.
- What If?: This fic explores a world where Marcy had stolen the music box herself rather than texting Anne and Sasha about it.
