Jagertitty but even more tragic.
Arospec Grace accidentally(or purposefully ig?) using Max and mistreating him. He’s head over heals, super touchy and kind of gross, and she’s just completely indifferent. If you really hate Max you could make him aspec. Classic toxic relationship right there.
Maybe they both have redemption arcs and realize they just make eachother worse. They’re in love and they have never been less happy than they are together.
Or: One has a redemption arc/gets therapy, the other goes the complete opposite direction.
Grace actually becomes friends with the nerds after Max dies in the Waylon Place. Almost canon-compliant, but she starts to feel bad for what they did to Max, and when he comes back it kills her what they have to do. She manipulates him and uses the trust that she already violated once to get rid of him for good. Or maybe she just can’t bring herself to do it. Bad ending 👎
Max makes nice with the nerds after surviving the prank. Grace somehow gets her hands on the black book, and tells Max about her evil plans. He’s still in love with her so he doesn’t really try to stop her or stand up to her, trusting her to make the right choice like he did, until it’s too late.
