History Fanfic / HandsOmori

* AdaptationalSelfDefense: Canon Sunny killed Mari in a horrific accident. This Sunny killed her in self-defense due to prolonged sexual abuse.

** Some of Mari's canon dialogue and unused Something dialogue is repurposed to make Mari sound predatory towards Sunny. For example, her {{Catchphrase}}, "All it costs is your love!"- the love in this case being her sexual assaults. "Don’t be afraid. It’s not as scary as you think." has the same meaning here. And Something says "Sunny... I love you" is because that is what Mari would say while molesting him.

* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: Averted. Mari sexually abusing Sunny is treated exactly as horrifying as it should be.
* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnFemale: Also averted. The very real possibility that [[AdaptationalVillainy Mari]] was trying to isolate and molest Aubrey, to the point of groping her during their picnics together, is treated with the same horror and disgust as her [[VillainousIncest molestation of Sunny]].

* InterruptedIntimacy: A dark example that happens to Mari twice as she is about to molest her little brother Sunny- once by Basil concerned about Sunny, and once by Kel looking to surprise the siblings. Naturally, Sunny is grateful for being saved.

* AdaptationalContextChange: Some of Mari's canon dialogue and unused Something dialogue is repurposed to make Mari sound predatory towards Sunny. For example, her {{Catchphrase}}, "All it costs is your love!"- the love in this case being her sexual assaults. "Don’t be afraid. It’s not as scary as you think." has the same meaning here. And Something says "Sunny... I love you" is because that is what Mari would say while molesting him.

* BrokenPedestal:
** Mari was seen as the CoolBigSis by Sunny's friends, and TheHeart of their group, to the point that her death caused them to split up. Needless to say, they all have a lot of trouble coming to terms with the reveal that she had been sexually abusing Sunny, with Aubrey and Basil in particular getting traumatized secondhand. Basil, who is noted as having trusted Mari greatly, becomes unable to bond with Polly (his caretaker) because he thinks she might do the same to him, and Aubrey goes from dying her hair pink because Mari wanted it, to openly expressing a desire to kill Mari herself. Kel takes it a little better, but still needs time to process it.
--->[Kel] found it hard to believe that the girl that everyone looked up to, the girl that his brother collapsed over, may have been a monster. But he believed regardless. He believed in Sunny’s clear anguish and fear.

There's also a similar one-shot fanfic, ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/32998861 False Heaven]]'' by Schrift, which is openly inspired by this one but takes place in a slightly different continuity. It follows a similar setup with a Sunny/Aubrey pairing and deals with Aubrey's growing frustration with her inability to have a physical relationship with Sunny due to his [[HatesBeingTouched aversion to touch]]. The original author scitydreamer [[ApprovalOfGod commented their support and enjoyed the work]], so for all intents and purposes this could be treated as a SpiritualSuccessor.

** In ''False Heaven'', Aubrey directly tells (a picture of) Mari how she betrayed them.
--->How many times did she pin Sunny down? How many times did everyone smile and laugh with Mari, unaware of her crimes? How many times did Mari wave off Sunny's mood when Aubrey asked about it....?\\
"HE TRUSTED YOU!" Another fist, and another web of cracks. "WE trusted you! And look what you did!" She tore off [[StabThePicture the paper]], and pulled it up to her baleful gaze. "He lost four years because of YOU! He keeps having nightmares because of YOU! I-I have to stand there and--" She growled. "He's so scared.... and it's all. Your. '''FAULT!'''"

* StabThePicture: In ''False Heaven'', Aubrey takes out her hatred of the deceased Mari on a comically exaggerated drawing of her pasted on a teddy bear, giving it a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech all the while.
* StagingAnIntervention: In ''False Heaven'', Basil, Kel, and Hero, on Kim's behest, invite Aubrey to lunch at the lake, but it turns out to be them sitting her down so they can talk to her about her rampaging throughout Faraway Town and taking her hatred of Mari out on everyone else.
-->Hero took a moment to gather himself. "There's something we need to talk to you about."\\
She started to frown. "What in the hell do we 'need' to talk about? Nothing's going on."\\
Hero sighed. "Aubrey, we're concerned about your behavior. Your anger, in particular, is becoming a problem again."\\
"Are you kidding-- my temper is ''fine''!"\\
"We both know that's not true." Hero sniped, meeting her with a firm stare.

* CerebusRetcon: Some of Mari's canon dialogue and unused Something dialogue is repurposed to make Mari sound predatory towards Sunny. For example, her {{Catchphrase}}, "All it costs is your love!"- the love in this case being her sexual assaults. "Don’t be afraid. It’s not as scary as you think." has the same meaning here. And Something says "Sunny... I love you" is because that is what Mari would say while molesting him.

->"I did love her. And I did kill her," Sunny admitted.\\\
"But… she loved me and she hurt me," he continued.
