Summary
Will’s worst fears came true in the visions Vecna showed him. That his own personal hell, the absence of people he longed for, was caused by his own hand. The first time it was him taken from everyone else. This time, it was him having driven everyone away or else drifting apart like he didn’t matter anymore. Both times he’d been utterly powerless to stop it.
But he could take back some of that power - by handing it to someone important on the hope they’d hold it for him to use when he needed. He couldn’t let his own fears get the better of him, nor let Vecna be proven right. Not anymore.
OR: Will comes out to the people that matter the most to him. A rewrite of the scene at the end of s. 5, ep. 7.
