Faced with a world that has been changed all out of recognition, and a new companion that makes him realize how messed up everything has been in his life, Billy is ready to start over, even if that means joining some kids and antagonistic acquaintances as they try to rescue the lost and save the town from things right out the fairy tales...
Warnings: Mentions of abuse, some violence
Characters: Billy Hargrove, Steve Harrington, Max Mayfield, The Party, Joyce Byers

When I Started:** One of my Tumblr mutuals posted an interesting prompt involving Billy and an unicorn, so I wrote a little snippet, thinking about turning it into a longer story at some point.
How I Lost My Shit:** The pandemic happened, life happened, went into a depression spiral, etc.
How I Finished My Shit:** Saw WIP Big Bang coming around again, and that was the kick in the butt I needed to get things going!

When I Started:
Sometime 2006-2007ish. The original file has been lost to the mists of time.

How I Lost My Shit:
I wrote the first chapter of this as a one shot not long after after Revenge of the Sith came out, but the ending was a little too depressing. I kept trying to think of a way to expand the story and give it a happier conclusion, but it never quite came together, and after a while I drifted into other fandoms and lost my motivation. But I never forgot about it!

How I Finished My Shit:
A friend talked me into doing the WIP Big Bang, and this story was the obvious choice. Over the years, I'd come up with a pretty solid plot outline, but never felt the urgency to work on it. I'm always better with a deadline, so I figured this was my best shot to finally get it done. Having my betas and artist reading along as I wrote and encouraging me was super helpful. But mostly, I'm a stronger writer now than I was 15 years ago. So maybe I just wasn't meant to finish it until now. :)
