Summary
what if Steven hadn’t run off to his childhood bedroom’s memory in episode 5, giving Marc a chance to explain? Might their scales have balanced in a far smoother fashion? Or would it have only hastened a far worse fate…
Note
Hi hello and tysm for reading! I’m Kai, and this is an ongoing collaborative work between my friend (ItsElizabeth) and I! While I would normally write Steven- she, as an Actual British Person, took charge here (since I wanted to try my hand at Marc anyway) Each •••••• is a change between authors (easy to see who is who because it’s just Marc & Steven…for the most part)MAJOR DISCLAIMER: this is not meant as an accurate depiction of DID. While we have tried our best to remain respectful, we are not experts in the slightest and are going primarily off of the mechanics of episode 6’s ending (with communication and how switching worked). At the end of the day, we wrote this purely for fun.TRIGGER WARNING: basically anything that you may have found triggering in episode 5 might be triggering here! This includes (but does not limit to): discussions of emotional and physical abuse, suicidal tendencies, self-sacrifice, and self-destructive actions. Stay safe <3Kudos and comments always appreciated, please enjoy!
