Trivia / A Moth to a Flame

• What Could Have Been:
  • In the original Quisling Marcy drabble, Marcy stabs Sasha the same way Andrias stabbed her in canon, in a desperate attempt to stop them, with Sasha apologizing for her actions after getting stabbed like Marcy did in canon. This causes Marcy to finally realize what she's done, breaking her. She breaks down laughing, before that laughter quickly turns into crying, before finally settling on a sick combination of the two. In this story, while Marcy does stab Sasha, she stabs her in the leg, having a sick Slasher Smile on her face while doing so. Andrias also stabs Marcy like he did in canon, only this time the context is different. His fight with Anne having made his vision double, he attempted to stab Sasha, only for her to dodge and accidentally stab Marcy instead. Marcy then lets out a Dying Declaration of Hate towards Anne before passing out. Chapter 8 reveals this was changed because MagicMan and TheAllTimeGreatest thought it wouldn't make much sense story-wise for Marcy to use Sasha as The Core's host.
  • In the original Quisling Marcy drabble, the Wu Clan created the Calamity Box by making a deal with Bill Cipher, who made a cameo in "True Colors" in the book where Marcy learned about the Box. In this story, he's never mentioned.
