Billy is my baby!

OKAY GUYS, IT WAS A SPONTANEOUS THOUGHT.

Everyone deals with their own issues in their own way "daddy issues"...

AU: Steve Harrington — Coach. Billy Hargrove — student.

For the second week of June, the Reverse Billy Big Bang is hosting a Sub Billy Week Mini Event! If you'd like to use the bingo card above for an extra little challenge, you're more than welcome to try to reach a bingo, multiple bingos, or a blackout, or you can simply view it as a prompt list to inspire you! While it is technically a week-long event, we will NOT be closing the AO3 collection or stop reblogging any works after the 14th, so make sure to tag @billybigbang with anything you create through July 31st (the end of the Reverse Billy Big Bang 2026)! This is open to anyone who wishes to participate, not just RBBB participants, and any medium that is not AI is allowed, so create away!

When he was a child, Billy said, "Leave me alone," broke out of his father’s grip, and ran away from him. When he was a teenager, Billy first said nothing, got hit, listened to Neil repeat the question, and then answered, "Respect and responsibility," all while not moving an inch out of fear over what Neil would do to him.

And that tells us several things. First, Neil's abuse has gotten increasingly violent over the years. It also tells us that Billy suffered greater consequences whenever he did push back until the repeated and increased violence shuts his body down as a trauma response. It also reveals Billy's loss of voice and agency in that he won't speak (or only speak what Neil wants to hear) and that he can't remove himself from an unsafe situation. Neil has taken Billy's voice and body away from him, abusing him into silence and helplessness.
