Where We Went Wrong
is a Lonely Wolf Treat One-Shot Fic written by IAmHoussem17 and published on Archive of Our Own.
In this story, the guard man Mousse finds out that his ex girlfriend Annie is running the nearby hot springs, so he resolves to meet up with her and have a talk.
This fic provides examples of the following tropes:
- Adaptational Sexuality: In the original games, there's no indication that Annie is into men. Here, she's depicted as bisexual.
- Alliterative Title: Where We Went Wrong.
- Amicable Exes: It's established that Mousse and Annie used to date, and they're friendly to each other despite the implied bad breakup they had.
- I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Mousse is happy to hear that Annie is happy being with May, despite seemingly still having feelings for her.
- Present Absence: May is mentioned a few times but never actually appears due to sickness, which is what kickstarts the plot.
- Promoted to Love Interest: In the source material, Annie and Mousse don't interact onscreen at all. Here, they're made into exes.
- Single-Target Sexuality: Annie asks Mousse if he found another girlfriend. He replies that he didn't love anyone else like he loved her.
- When He Smiles: The story ends with Annie teasing Mousse about smiling more, to which he gives her a small one.
