    Summary

    It’s been just over a week since the storm tore through Caledon. The university is slowly finding its rhythm again, but for Max Caufield the calm feels fragile. The chaos has stirred echoes of another storm, another impossible choice, and memories she’s spent years trying to bury.

    As Max tries to look ahead, the past refuses to stay quiet. Chloe Price—her old best friend and once-partner in time—has reached out for the first time in years. At the same time, Max’s growing connection with Caledon’s quick-witted bartender, Amanda Thomas, offers a fragile sense of safety and something dangerously close to happiness.

    Chloe once walked away, and Max never stopped loving her. Amanda makes her laugh again—but Max has already broken her trust once. Torn between the woman she lost, the one she’s beginning to fall for, and the person she’s still becoming, Max has to face the hardest question of all: after everything she’s rewound, what does she truly want moving forward?

    Summary

    Six years after Arcadia Bay was lost to the storm, Max Caulfield is piecing her life back together. She’s found solace in Amanda, whose love feels steady and safe, offering Max a chance to finally breathe. But when Chloe Price resurfaces just days after a catastrophic storm strikes Max’s campus, the calm Max has built begins to splinter.

    Chloe—cool, magnetic, and haunted by the ghosts of their shared past—pulls Max into a whirlwind of old wounds and unresolved feelings. Together, they navigate the jagged terrain of love, loss, and guilt, where every step threatens to reopen scars long thought healed.

    Max thought she’d moved on, but love is never simple, and some storms never truly pass. As past and present collide, Max faces a deeper storm within herself. Has she truly grown beyond the girl who sacrificed everything? Or is she still searching, not for closure, but for who she’s meant to become? And when love and loss demand answers, will she have the strength to weather what comes next?*

    Summary

    She couldn’t even say it had been impossible, she knew she could’ve done it — she could’ve saved them all. But she picked Chloe. And as horrible, as tragic, as devastating as the choice had been, Max knew it was the only option she would ever choose. Even if she woke up tomorrow and found the date on the calendar was October 7th, she would make the same choice. A thousand times. An infinite amount of times.

     

    To her, to Max, it would always be Chloe. Nothing in the fucking world would ever change that.

    Max made it out alive with Chloe at her side, swearing to never use her powers again. But leaving the past behind isn’t as easy as she thought it’d be, especially with the weight of grief and guilt hanging over her shoulders. Luckily, they’re in it together — and nothing will ever tear them apart...Right?

    Or, the ups and downs of what happened between 2013 - 2024 as told from Max's perspective.

    Summary

    By her late-twenties, Max Caulfield knew a lot. She knew what it was like to love someone so much that you would destroy the world for them. She knew what it was like to watch that person walk away years later. She knew what it was like to wander through life after the fact, trying and struggling to find purpose in an aimless world.

    What Max didn’t know was how much Safi Llewellyn-Fayyad meant to her.

    Until she watched her die.

    Takes place before canon, during canon, and after canon, with some modifications.

    Summary

    Saving Arcadia Bay was the hardest decision that Max Caulfield ever made and it is very nearly one that she *didn't* live with until an entirely unexpected guardian angel came into her life and helped her make a future. Along the way, she found that the strangeness of life was not hers to bear alone.

    This is a fic I've been slowly writing to show who Max Caulfield became after Life is Strange and how she became entangled with the protagonists of the other games in the fanchise.

    Summary

    “She's Max’s high school sweetheart, that’s all I know,” Safi said, crossing her arms with a smirk.

    I managed a dry laugh. High school sweetheart. There were more accurate words for what Chloe and I had been—something more like destiny, a piece of my soul, and every mistake I’d ever made, all wrapped up in a beautiful disaster. But for the sake of our sanity, I let her keep it simple.

    or

    Max drunk texts Chloe five years after their explosive breakup.
