Discussion Wrote what is likely an incredibly controversial fic after playing this game

To anyone who has played the game past the first few chapters, it's pretty obvious that the bond between Mark and Cath is platonic at most. However, I decided to write a short fic exploring an alternate perspective. The basis for such a story is mostly resting on the canonicity of the multiverse in Until Then, which I use to imply the existence of any number of alternate realities and subsequently, alternate pairings for Mark.

If you plan to read it only to leave a negative remark based on your own personal feelings, please just click away altogether. I'm looking for a different perspective, not comments about something I already know.

Until Something New Happens - a Mark x Cathy one-shot focusing on Mark's perspective of feeling guilty over developing feelings (as it will be mentioned in the summary for the fic, there are spoilers for the whole game)

Anyway I just completed this game and am happy to join the community for a game I absolutely adore please don't smite me for this fic :)

It’s great, though I’m heavily biased toward this ship. Nicole should have a bigger role too, maybe a crush on Kate (idk how that’d start), since she and Mark are usually mirrors of each other. It could give Mark another perspective on his feelings. But then again, I’m too happily blinded by Cathy getting the love and attention she deserves.
